This blog covers everything except sports and gardening, unless we find a really good link about using dead professional bowlers for mulch. The author is a StarTribune columnist, has been passing off fiction and hyperbole as insight since 1997, has run his own website since the Jurassic era of AOL, and was online when today's college sophomores were a year away from being born. So get off his lawn.
My hunch is there's a sizable chunk of people who don't really grasp what plagiarism is or why it's wrong, and they kind of regard Twitter and social media as this giant free-for-all where everybody's just constantly taking and posting whatever they want from whoever they want. A perfect example of that might be this Business Insider piece about the infectious spread of the Oh Hi Becky tweet, which quotes the author of the infamous jape:
My hunch is there's a sizable chunk of people who don't really grasp what plagiarism is or why it's wrong, and they kind of regard Twitter and social media as this giant free-for-all where everybody's just constantly taking and posting whatever they want from whoever they want.
Oh - right, I stole that guy's words and passed them off as my own. Well, no one really owns words, do they? Won't the world be better off when we lose these antiquated notions of originality and just celebrate the fact that a thought or joke or sentence exists in the first place? SMH. Anyway, it's a piece about how a tweet flowered and spread like kudzu, until the original author was accused of plagiarizing it. Warning: F-bomb, because of course you have to use the F-bomb these days. It's only a matter of time before "Effbom" is in the top ten baby names.
Related: an English school sent parents a letter about how their kids are not mere results on a test score. Which came as a surprise to parents, I'm sure. What? My kid can draw and dance? I had no idea. The letter , got upworthied all over kingdom come because it warmed hearts, although not to the point where normal muscular activity ceases due to excessive temperatures. Buzzfeed notes:
The letter, addressed to the pupils themselves, was sent by Tomlinson and the head of year six, Amy Birkett. However, the letter is not original: Tomlinson said she found the words on a blog, and the letter (sent by a different school) was shared widely on Facebook in the US last year.
I googled the text to see where it showed up originally, and was treated to a cavalcade of British newspaper names. These are great.

APPS In case you'd forgotten what you were doing years ago, Daily Dot has this:
Six days a week, MorningPics sends a previous photo from an Instagram feed. On Sundays, subscribers receive the Sunday Edition, a round-up of photos posted to Instagram within the past week.
MorningPics' subject line tells a subscriber how long ago a photo was taken and where, if a location was tagged. Mulligan describes reading the subject line as a mental guessing game to try and remember what happened however many days ago before opening the email. Once opened, a subscriber will see a photo they've posted, as well as the number of likes it got and any comments it received.
Apps like this remind you how it's tough it would be to explain modern amusements to people in 1950. So, it's like, every morning you get a letter -
"Every morning? The mail comes at noon. Is that close enough?"
Yes. Every morning you get a letter from the service, and -
"What's the service?"
Well, it's a . . . business, I suppose, that sends you a photo you took a few months or years ago.
"How do they have my pictures?"
They don't. They take them from the other serv- the other business that does have your pictures.
"Why do they have my pictures?"
You gave them the pictures, so other people could see them.
"Why don't they just come over and we'll get out the slide projector and put up the screen?"
It's a . . . different sort of sharing. Everyone who follows you can see the pictures.
"Do they follow me because I'm going to the place where the pictures are?"
No. The pictures just appear on your hand-held computer screen. Anyway, the service sends you one every day to remind you what you were doing a while ago.
Well, to remind you that . . . no, to reacquaint you with your past, and . . . you know, that's a good question.
"You called it a business. How do they make money?"
Aaaaand that's another good one.
I grew up reading Parade magazine in the Fargo Forum. It had a comic about a very large dog, which I think was drawn by the same fellow who did that long-running account of marital misery, "The Lockhorns." Googling . . . yes. Bill Hoest. To my surprise, the big dog comic, "Howard Huge," did not start until 1981, long after I lived in Fargo. As long as we're at it:
The character was based on a real family pet. According to Bunny Hoest, the character was based on a real pet acquired when the family was looking for a Labrador Retriever as a companion to an aging black Lab. The kennel was vibrant with lively Labrador puppies, but a quiet, little animal was alone in a small cage. When they took the furry, disheveled dog out for a stretch, he tried his paws and immediately sprawled on his belly.
The kennel owner speculated that the dog had been sent to the wrong kennel (where he remained unwanted) and had been taken from his mother too soon in the breeder's haste to find a Christmas buyer. The family was appalled, and with something less than enthusiasm, they kept looking at the playful Labrador puppies. But the littlest girl held the disheveled dog on her shoulder, where he promptly fell asleep. Without being able to come to a decision, the family started to leave and told her to put the dog back. The good-natured animal kissed her face and lay quietly alone. The family was captivated.
This good-natured, placid puppy was a Saint Bernard who eventually became an enormous, loyal and lovable member of the family for the next 13 years. Howard Huge is based on that Saint Bernard.
Awww. Anyway. The other feature I read was Walter Scott's Personality Parade, wherein people asked Walter questions about famous people and popular culture, and Walter - having stated up front that the volume of mail made individual replies impossible - would answer. There was no Walter Scott. That was the pen name of Parade writer Lloyd Shearer, whose byline graced other Parade stories. From his obit:
Mr. Shearer received an average of 5,000 letters weekly. Although it was known that Mr. Shearer wrote many of the questions, Derek Shearer insists they were composites.
Ah HAH I knew it. But if you get 5,000 letters, why would you have to make up anything? Did he go through 5K requests and think "man, there's not a useful query in the batch this week, again.
Anyway. This week's Personality Parade had a question from someone who wanted to know whether the "Driving Miss Daisy" production coming to movie theaters was a film or a play. Why, it's both! Which you would know, if you just googled the name of the thing. Or there's the question about Jimmy Page remastering the first 3 Zep albums. Why did he do that? asks Ted J in Patterson, New Jersey.
Wonder how Ted's friends reacted to that. Hey, you hear from Parade yet? No. Probably next week. Look, I've been reading lots about the remastering online; Page is a fascinating and articulate musician whose intuitive grasp of the studio technology of the day - both its limitations and possibilities - seem matched only by his recollect of the processes he invented to get that signature sound. Why, the New Musical Express - "
Shut up! I don't want to know! Walter will tell me what I need to hear! I know he will!
As it happens, the question was most timely, since Parade has a clip of an alternate take of "Heartbreaker."
When I was in high school listening to Zep the idea that Walter Scott would ever admit their existence, let alone point us to an alternate take, would have been insane.
BEES! This should not have been a surprise:
The town is in Bee County.
iSYNERGENATION What will Apple announce today? Please please:
VotD But that's not the Video of the Day. This is: lots of dominos. In reverse.
Isn't it great that Downtown East is providing a ray of hope for our tired, shuttered, depopulated, aging, tumbledown urban core? The New York Times thinks so. Downtown East is placed in Context straight away, one of those big projects the little cities out in provinces hope will turn around their fortunes.
The blueprint for a bustling downtown stands in stark contrast to the status quo: crumbling asphalt parking lots, tired buildings and limited housing.
The status quo for where, exactly? I've rarely seen a parking lot that could be described as crumbling. Tired buildings? You mean the refurbished low-income transitional housing here, or the rehabbed warehouse that's now residential here, or the adjacent office building that looks as good as it's ever looked? StarTribune World HQ may be tired on the inside here and there, but outside it's still stark and clean, and the Armory, while in need of an overhaul, isn't exactly a weary pile awaiting the sweet release of the wrecking ball. The Juvie center and the adjacent office structure are hardly old. There's one Tired Building in the area, and it's a nondescript old industrial building. The Haaf Ramp? Not tired. The jail? Not tired. The Freeman Building? Not tired; dead and gone, and hooray for that.
Limited housing? I'll admit you have to walk an entire block to get to the rows and rows of condos on Washington, and the journey may deplete one so much the rest of the residential renaissance of downtown must wait for another day. If you knew nothing of Minneapolis, you'd conclude it was a barren expanse where the only residents were rummies in SROs working on a pint of Sno-Shoe.
Emily Dussault, an actor and city resident, welcomes the redevelopment. "When people visit, they anticipate a really exciting and fun place, and we're like, 'No, let's go somewhere else,' " she said. Ms. Dussault said she steered out-of-town friends to the more artsy neighborhoods of Uptown and Northeast.
Because there's nothing to do downtown. If only it had restaurants and bars.
Note that the person quoted "welcomes the redevelopment," which has nothing in the way of an entertainment quotient.
Many cities have tried to generate urban renewal around a big project like a new stadium with mixed success over the years. It is often hard to persuade those who left for the suburbs to return.
Which is not the point of the project. At all. I don't remember the part where they unveiled the twin towers of the Wells Fargo project and said "this, and the hotel, will be the spur that brings people to live downtown. We anticipate demand so strong armed guards will be required to restore order after the announcement that the units have been sold." Downtown East is not meant to revitalize downtown. It is meant to revitalize the few blocks known as Downtown East, thereby complimenting the substantial development that's taken place nearby.
For Governor Dayton, reviving the downtown means making good on a childhood lesson. "My father and his brothers were retailers, and they preached the downtown," he said. "If left to its own, development goes to greenfield sites on the outlying areas and you end up with a doughnut hole. Once you get behind the eight ball with a downtown in decay, it's very, very difficult to turn that around."
He's absolutely right. This would be the point where the New York Times mentions exactly what sort of retailers his relatives were, and what happened to the store, and how this kicky little thing called "Target" came out of it, but TMI, I guess.
Then there's some recaps about the nature of the deal and some rah-rah booster quotes, and this:
Mr. Collins recalled 18 "intense" months of negotiations, culminating in a four-day, Diet-Coke-infused stretch that involved 30 conference calls, 10 law firms and 59 documents and ended with the closing of the Star Tribune property.
Fifty-nine documents! People stop me on the street and ask how many documents were involved in the sale, and which soft drink infused the proceedings. Always felt bad I had to shrug and plead ignorance.
Many local residents express cautious optimism about the redevelopment, dimmed by the protracted battle over financing of the new Vikings stadium, which passed by a 7-6 City Council vote.
I hate it when optimism of the cautious variety is subjected to dimming, but I really don't think anyone watching the project arise finds their heart snag on the Protruding Nail of Recollected Financing Battles. No one who looks at the renderings of the park puts a hand on their sternum, and thinks oh what unalloyed joy I would feel had not the process been so lengthy or contentious.
It's in the cutline of the photo, too: "Battles over its financing have dimmed many residents' optimism about the redevelopment project." They may have affected how people view the project, inasmuch as some people were opposed to any public participation, but this was baked into the project, and it's not as if a great blaring blast of optimism has been sullied because people remember the financing battles they had willed themselves to forget.
It's almost as if a narrative is being imposed on the situation, but c'mon, how likely is that.
The story needed conflict, I guess, because "healthy downtown that never really hit rock bottom revels in a burst of activity" doesn't have the right worried tone. Will the Downtown East revitalize downtown Minneapolis? One must look to Cleveland in 1973. No, one musn't. From the sound of the article, Minneapolis has staked everything on one big development, when it's a culmination of disparate projects that made Downtown East not the savior of the city, but the latest thing.
Sounds like a great night out. From Pricenomics:
Unless you were a VIP, your meal would be over the second your spoon hit the bottom of the bowl: Edsel would come by with a broom and literally sweep you out. Only one diner -- who bought him a "weekly ration of free X-rated movie passes" -- was permitted to enjoy a post-meal cup of "Edsel's Special Tea" (pure ginseng extract). When another customer saw the drink and curiously inquired about it, he was kicked out. This wasn't unusual: often, Edsel would forcibly remove seated patrons in the middle of a meal, "just to remind them who was running the show."
He had busy hands, too.
Edsel was also known for his crass "flirtation:" an entire wall at Sam Wo was dedicated to Polaroid photos of the waiter in various degrees of groping unsuspecting young females. "A charming first date destination if you never want to see your date again," wrote one reviewer in the late 70s. "My ex-wife ended up on the wall. The groping part was the only time I ever saw Edsel smile. She was not amused." (The pictures we've included in this article confirm Edsel's perennial smile in the presence of ladies -- we don't condone his behavior.)
Of course not! Oh, it was just his madcap charm, as another patron notes. Why, he kissed everyone.
He sounds like a horrible person. It sounds as if people tolerated it to show how they understood the rules of the place - unlike outsiders or first-timers, who'd be appalled and surprised. Oh, not you! Why, Edsel's been yelling at me for years. We go way back.
See also, Carnegie Deli. They're notoriously cranky. This is supposed to be part of the charm and experience. Eh.
URBANISM In the future, everyone will live in 100-square-foot apartments.
With the world population expected to rise from 7.2 billion to 9.6 billion by 2050, living space is becoming more and more of an issue. A student at Parsons has a vision of our future homes that is both clever and disquieting. Bernando Schorr's "Mixed Reality Living Spaces" project highlights how augmented reality can be used to make windowless 100-square-foot apartments hospitable. The video on his website shows projections on the walls changing to accommodate the different configurations of the environment's only furniture, a trio of modular white boxes. The results are depressingly spartan but functional.
There's a selling point.
Whether you will be forced to listen to the music is another matter.
WHARGARBLE Let's check on our favorite gibberish robot, putting out pages to game the search engines. I have no idea how this is supposed to work to the author's advantage; the pages all redirect to a standard Blogger template, with no links or ads. Anyway, today's subject is Jordan Minnesota Newspaper.
Licensed Minnesota claims adjuster, you will not be affected if you fail an alcohol test or if you refuse to submit to the jordan minnesota newspaper. It also provides for substitute services for you in Minnesota but it is important to note, however, that having a limited drivers license in Minnesota are growing, whether you are running low on time and money.

To help and guide potential investors, many large real estate can also be a good news or a culture vulture with a number of abandoned properties across the jordan minnesota newspaper is the jordan minnesota newspaper for the jordan minnesota newspaper of Minnesota and there appears to be completed as well.
Wise words. Take heed.
YOU THERE Buzzfeed, coasting again:
I would submit that it is unlikely that the person in question destroyed anyone's childhood, let alone utterly destroyed it, but even if such a thing were possible, the idea that one's childhood could be utterly destroyed 33 times suggests that childhood is capable of almost limitless regeneration.
HIGHER ED By all means, go into debt for this: college courses on Miley Cyrus and Beyonce. Daily News:
In a career of less than a decade, Miss Miley has already proved herself "a useful primary document" for discussions of sex and power in media, teacher Carolyn Chernoff says.
Cyrus went from squeaky clean Disney star to dirty-minded diva strutting her stuff in every concert. She sparked debates about slut shaming, overt sexuality and the privileges of white stars — as when she borrowed twerking from hip-hop culture and brought it to last year's Video Music Awards.
"She's a really interesting case study for how someone can represent sex and gender while maturing in the public eye," says Chernoff, a visiting assistant professor at Skidmore. "Miley is a work in progress, but you can already see such a complex narrative of how people talk about her unbridled sexuality."
So that's what we were doing when discussing how stupid she looked with her tongue hanging out. That was a complex narrative. A complex ongoing narrative, for that matter. Debate was sparked, too. Says another prof:
"Miley Cyrus is a delivery device for themes of American life," he adds. "When you say, 'Miley Cyrus? Who cares about her?' you shut down the very purpose of sociology."
Thanks for the tip, then.
SPRING CLEANING Don't think of it as "decluttering." It's not enough to start throwing stuff away. You need to have a complex narrative. From Salon:
As far as I can tell, decluttering alone is sort of a farce, a trend promulgated on daytime TV and in trite magazine stories like "67 Ways to Declutter a Messy Home." What we're not told is that decluttering by itself doesn't solve the problem, not long term anyway. Discussing how to get rid of our stuff answers only the what side of the equation, but not the why; the action, but not the purpose; the how-to, but not the significantly more important why-to. In other words, the what is relatively easy. We all know instinctually how to declutter—how to get "organized." But that's just one part of the larger issue. Instead of "get organized," I've decided I need to start thinking of organizing as a dirty word, a sneaky little profanity which keeps us from really simplifying our lives.
Somehow I think the thesis could have been . . . less cluttered.
There's a line in the newspaper today that makes my head feel oddly twisted.
"He walked through the puddles when there was a perfectly good road he could have walked on," she said. "It just didn't seem right to me because we see people come and go with their trucks, and they don't come on foot and cut through people's back yards. It was like he was blatantly trying not to be seen. That's why I thought it was odd."
I cannot get my mind around the idea of blatantly trying not to be seen.
ART You should stop taking pictures. Here's the first part of the argument:
. . . there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we're likely to be so busy taking the pictures, we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest prompted us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them, so sure are we that we'll get around to it one day.
Well. I take the pictures off my phone every day, toss the duds, and file the keepers with names that reflect what they show. So I don't have a wad of files with names like IMG_938439345434.jpg. Yes, you have to take yourself out of the moment to take a picture, but it's not as if reality is such a hard thing to reenter. Hold on, don't talk to me! I'm trying to reacclimatize myself to the actual world! We continue:
. . . there's one thing we should do and that is attempt to draw the interesting things we see, irrespective of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.
That's right: stop taking pictures, and start drawing. Because of Ruskin. It's complicated, so perhaps you should read the piece. But this is advice I have no intention of taking, because when I'm walking through another city with wife and child, they tend to get impatient when I fall behind to shoot an architectural detail; shouting "Hold up, I need to sharpen my pencil" would not go over well.
MEANWHILE IN ENGLAND The BBC is usually above stories like this, aren't they?
A man has had thousands of pounds worth of music equipment seized after continuously blasting out Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On.
The man, from Hone Street, Strood, breached a noise abatement notice six times, and made his neighbours' lives a misery, Medway Council said.
He was also caught playing James Brown's Love Machine and the theme tune to Toy Story.
Seems more like a Daily Mail story. Hold on, what's this in the "Related Stories" sidebar?
Televisions, a hi-fi, speakers and DVD players have been seized from a family in Gloucestershire.
The family members, who live in Quedgeley, were served with a noise abatement order three weeks ago and have broken it three times since.
A "significant amount of 'kit' capable of making a noise" was removed on Thursday by police and Gloucester City Council officers.
It's an epidemic.
VotD Right place, right time, 2 million hits:

Scent question.
Hi Ralph and Vicki!
Just wondering what brand and scent of scent wafers do you use for deer hunting the most?? Don't the scent seem to strong?? Any help or information you could send would be much appreciated.
My wife and I are both hunters and we love your shows. It's great to see your interactions and experiences. We can really relate!! Keep up the great shows.
Hey Dus!
Ralph and I usually have on the HS earth scent (black) wafers. They work just about anywhere we go. The smell does seem strong at first, but it start to fade a little. We you can't smell it as strong, put it back in the container and it wel rejuvinate itself!! :)
I have actally grow to like the smell! :)
Thanks for watching!! Vicki C :)
I also use the fresh earth wafers a bunch, but I do have a few stands in groves of pine trees so I'll use the cedar wafers in that situation. I haven't tried the estrous wafers yet but I think I'm going to this fall, if they work it will be a ton cheaper than buying fresh urine!

CARRBORO — Pass any papered utility pole from Carrboro to downtown Chapel Hill, and you'll see traces of their presence: The anarchists are everywhere.
"You cannot avoid us. Even if you don't like us, you know we're there because our posters are [expletive] everywhere," said self-proclaimed anarchist and Carrboro resident Neal Richards.
Flip through a Merriam-Webster's dictionary for the term "anarchist," and you'll find a person who rebels against authority. Delve deeper into the history of Anarchism and you'll find a political philosophy far more complex than the fringe group today's anarchists are often dismissed as being.
Anarchism grew out of the 19th-century French revolt against the bourgeoisie. Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin, a 19th-century Russian revolutionary, coined the term that describes the local community's philosophy: collectivist anarchism.
"Today, increasingly, anarchism provides people with tools to critique the current practices of politics and offers a vision for an alternative form of politics that is more locally-based, more horizontal," said Michal Osterweil, an anthropologist who graduated from UNC and based her thesis on social movements.
Richards concurred. "Because we want a society where people solve problems collectively on a grassroots, community level, we take action in ways that reflect that desire," he said.
Free market
The Really, Really Free Market held on the Carrboro Town Commons the first Saturday of every month is an energetic protest against capitalism and an example of an alternative known as a "Gift economy."
A hybrid of a flea market, yard sale and community center, the Really, Really Free Market is just that - free. The community comes together to provide mutual aid through food, clothes, items, or skill-shares. Town government initially resisted the event because free food was being served without insurance but relented after an anonymous donor covered insurance costs. It also dropped a permit fee for holding the market on town property. Last year, the RRFM celebrated its fifth anniversary.
Richards calls the market a "big victory" for the anarchist community.
"That was hundreds of people taking a conscious form of direct action, occupying a piece of land to say, 'We are not going to have to pay to use this piece of land to share with each other,'" he said. "In a town like Carrboro, you can really have a big affect. It's a town where people are willing to take risks and be smart about it."
Anarchism recently made international headlines when an underground, Italian anarchist movement took credit for a slew of embassy bombings in Italy last month. But locally, the anarchists of Chapel Hill and Carrboro walk openly among politicians, students, and educators. That, however, does not exempt the community from criticism.
"Anarchists have a long and proud history, that we do not deny, of fostering criminal activity," Richards said. "We are not pacifists. We believe in self-defense and going on the offensive to attack the institutions that are trying to oppress us. That's anarchism."
Last April, the group held its first state conference, dubbed "NC Rising," on UNC's campus. It featured workshops and panels on subjects such as independent media to radical cartography. In November, anarchists organized the inaugural Carrboro Anarchist Book fair.

Clegg: Eurozone 'risks extremism'
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has criticised the lack of leadership on the eurozone crisis, raising fears of a rise in extremism and civil unrest unless it was addressed.
Obama: Leaders agree Greece must remain in euro zone
President Barack Obama says that world leaders agree on the importance of Greece remaining in the euro zone.
Speaking at a press conference following a NATO summit in Chicago, said he believed there was an increased resolve on the part of European leaders to tackle the euro zone crisis.
He also said it was crucial for European banks to be recapitalized and for there to be firewalls to protect countries against financial contagion.
Cameron: Not enough has been done to resolve euro crisis
David Cameron says that not enough has been done to decisively resolve the euro zone crisis.
Cameron, speaking during a NATO summit in Chicago, said he would be meeting later in the day to discuss the crisis with Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
Cameron stressed that British banks are well regulated and well capitalised.
Labour: We need a growth plan for Europe and the UK
Labour leader Ed Miliband has said we need a "proper plan" for growth in Europe and in the UK.
He hit out at the "Cam-Mer-Kozy economics" that focused too much on deficit reduction and austerity and not enough on growth.
David Cameron: Eurozone needs to sort itself out
Prime Minister David Cameron said the Eurozone needed to take "decisive action" to sort itself out. A Downing Street spokesman said:
What is required now is decisiveness, because it is the lack of resolution of the problem that is leading to a lack of confidence and what people need now is certainty.
We need decisiveness, strong action by all governments, whether that's dealing with the deficit, whether that's dealing with the banks, in order to calm markets.
Miliband: We need a plan for growth in Europe
– Ed Miliband, Labour leader
The real problem for Europe is not just that the debts need to be paid but we need a proper plan for growth. What's happened is German Chancellor Angela Merkel and David Cameron are sticking to their position and saying we're not for growth and that it's not the big priority.
And then you have President Obama and President Hollande who are actually saying we need a different approach. I think there's a divide between people who want to keep the same approach of the last two years and those who want to do something different.
We need a proper plan for jobs and growth both at home and in Europe.
Miliband: Collective austerity has not worked
Labour leader Ed Miliband said he had coined a new phrase - "Cam-Mer-Kozy economics" - to sum up the approach taken by the Prime Minister, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and former French president Nicolas Sarkozy over the last two years to tackling the eurozone crisis. He said:
"It's about collective austerity and it hasn't worked. It is time to wake up and recognise it and that's what the Prime Minister needs to do."
"Over the last few days he has found himself beached somewhere between President Obama and President Hollande and Chancellor Merkel, not quite sure where he is"
Nick Clegg: Europe 'needs a vision of its own future'
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said in an article in German paper Der Spiegel that European leaders must work together with a common economic purpose and resist "vested interests in the national economy" in order to deliver a more integrated single market.
He said:
What we should be doing in the EU as a whole is more economic integration in the single market, rather than less.
He stressed the need for political leaders need to "set out a vision" so that confidence in the European project can return.
If the euro zone doesn't come up with a comprehensive vision of its own future, you'll have a whole range of nationalist, xenophobic and extreme movements increasing across the European Union.
Nick Clegg: 'We are not austerity fanatics'
In an interview with Der Spiegel, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg denied that the Government were "austerity fanatics" and said the new French President François Hollande's plan to cut the French deficit was "actually more severe" that the coalition's. He said:
- The Government's plans to cut the deficit are "more pragmatic and flexible" than critics claim.
- The UK is just one country losing faith in the EU and its institutions: but this does not mean we should leave
- It is entirely up to the Greek people to decide whether they should leave the Eurozone.
Clegg on EU: 'We are condemned to work with each other'
In an interview with German newspaper Der Spiegel, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has called for European leaders to "be more active" in implementing solutions to the Eurozone crisis and working together.
He dismissed claims that the UK was considering leaving the European Union:
"We are losing faith in the EU and its institutions, for understandable reasons, considering the economic problems we face. But that doesn't mean that it makes sense to forecast the breakup of the EU as a whole. [...]
That's ludicrous. We are condemned to work with each other. Isolation is not the solution."
Prime Minister urges Greece to make a choice
Prime Minister David Cameron has said the Greek people need to use their elections to decide "once and for all" whether the country should stay in the Eurozone.
Cameron said failure to provide clarity would prove "disastrous" for the world economy. His comments come as he attended back-to-back G8 and NATO summits in America.

14 QDs ought to do it. Good 3/8" bolts with double bolt anchors. Maybe a medium cam or two to belay off the ledge for the 3rd pitch. 2 ropes if you want to rap the route.

New Jersey Enacts Nation's Toughest Anti-Bullying Law
January 6, 2011 by Paul Guequierre
Following the news of suicides of teenagers across the country and the all too common theme of anti-LGBT bullying, the state of New Jersey took a major step forward today by enacting the nation's toughest anti-bullying law. The tragic death of Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi accelerated the coalition that passed this legislation, which was originally introduced in 2009. While nothing can make up for the loss of these young lives, New Jersey's Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights provides a blueprint for action across the country to address bullying and harassment and bolster the mental well-being of LGBT young people. The new law was signed by Governor Chris Christie after passing the Legislature with only one dissenting vote.Continue Reading ►
NM Atty. Gen. Issues Legal Opinion on Marriage Recognition
January 6, 2011 by Sarah Warbelow
Yesterday, New Mexico Attorney General Gary King issued a sound legal opinion analyzing New Mexico's marriage comity laws and concluding that the state can recognize marriages between two people of the same sex performed outside of the state. The opinion was a response to an inquiry by New Mexico State Representative Al Park (D-Albuquerque) that asked whether same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions are valid in New Mexico. A key portion of the opinion explains, "While we cannot predict how a New Mexico court would rule on this issue, after review of the law in this area, it is our opinion that a same-sex marriage that is valid under the laws of the country or state where it was consummated would likewise be found valid in New Mexico."Continue Reading ►

Help Counter NOM's 2011 Battle Plan – Become a NOM Watcher Today
January 5, 2011 by Kevin Nix
It's not earth-shattering news to the LGBT community that the so-called National Organization for Marriage is anti-gay. It's obvious to us that the group eats, sleeps, and breathes homophobia. But it's not so obvious to lawmakers, media, and straight America. NOM does a pretty good job of *sounding* reasonable, even (sort of) tolerant. That's where you come in.Continue Reading ►
New Year. New Congress. New Senate Rules?
January 4, 2011 by Ty Cobb
As the 112th Congress convenes for the first time on Wednesday, senators are expected to consider revising Senate rules to address procedural dysfunction highlighted during the 111th Congress. Increased use of Senate rules for the purpose of obstructionism during the 111th Congress led to, among other things, delayed executive branch appointments, including a virtual standstill on the appointment of equality-minded judges, and multiple filibusters to delay passage of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal legislation.Continue Reading ►

No shame in asking for help; it could save your life
Erik could not wait to get back onto campus. That wasn't because he was excited to see his friends, or to party. No. Coming to campus was an escape. Being at home constantly reminded Erik of his recent split with his hometown girlfriend. Everything from the small coffee shop they used to hang out in, to the rooms in his house where they used to spend time brought heart-sinking feelings that could not be shaken.
After graduating high school, Erik and his girlfriend Sarah broke up. Sarah didn't want to try a long distance relationship, while Erik wanted to give it a shot. In the end, it wasn't enough to convince her. Even though Erik was heart-broken, he understood why being apart during college would help both of them grow as people and lead them to new experiences. However, it didn't cushion the blow.
On top of his personal struggles, Erik was facing other issues as well. As an underclassman, he was confused with what to study. His entire high school career Erik "knew" he was going to be a doctor. The pay was good, he liked helping people, and it was a "respectable" profession. Moreover, his parents were supportive of the decision. Therefore, Erik didn't explore many other options in high school. He thought that medicine was the route for him. However, as soon as he came to college, he started having second thoughts. He realized that there are other ways of helping people that may be more appealing to him. As a result of this realization, his effort in his classes greatly declined and his grades ultimately suffered.
This change of heart hurt his parents greatly, and fueled many arguments between them. These arguments brought other issues between Erik and his parents to the surface and, ultimately, created a mess.
Now, obviously, there are other people in this world who have larger issues than relationship problems or fighting with their parents. But in Erik's mind, in Erik's world, everything was crumbling around him. All of these issues were piling up, and he didn't know how to handle it.
Luckily, Erik did something that most college students or other young people do not have courage to do. He asked for help. Instead of internalizing and avoiding his issues, Erik sought therapy.
Most students on any campus find it difficult to find guidance and support. Unfortunately, finances or other technicalities are not what usually hold students back. The social stigma associated with mental health issues on university campuses is crippling. Society is told that it is seen as weak to get help, and that it reflects negatively on you as a person. However, not only is this view crippling for those already afflicted with mental health issues or mental health disorders, it is also detrimental to the rest of society that will face these issues later in their lives who will not do anything about it simply because society has told them not to.
According to the 2006 National College Health Assessment, "43.8 percent of the 94,806 students surveyed reported they 'felt so depressed it was difficult to function' during the past year, and 9.3 percent said that they had 'seriously considered suicide' during the year." Additionally, "...more than 30percent of all college freshman report feeling overwhelmed a great deal of the time college women, even more (about 38 percent)." Unfortunately, according to Active Minds, a national non-profit organization designed to combat mental health illnesses in universities, only 25 percent of those afflicted with mental issues seek help.
By "seeking help," I don't mean check yourself into a mental health hospital. Clearly, there are instances where that is appropriate, but for the vast majority of college students, aid and support can be found much more easily on campus. This includes simply coming to terms with the fact that you're not okay and talking with a close friend. Maybe join some of the organizations on campus including Active Minds. Furthermore, our university has a wonderful program called the Humphrey Clinic where graduate students in the counseling program are available for therapy sessions to anyone in the Storrs community.
Of course, there are many other healthy ways to deal with a mental issue. I am not endorsing one method of recovery over another, but what I am endorsing is for you, because I know you're out there, is to take a step in the right direction.
Erik did. I did. You can, too.

Tyler Henson has played third base, second base, left field, right field, center field and taken grounders at shortstop.
The 26-year-old, who also is Lehigh Valley's emergency catcher, was the first IronPig to warm up his bat during frigid April playing conditions.
Henson has hit in seven of his last nine games, carries a .285 batting average and is on pace to commit just five errors this season.
He has been the steadiest Lehigh Valley player for manager Dave Brundage through two months of the 2014 season.
Yet, Henson was nowhere to be found this spring on any list of the Phillies' top prospects.
Some may say he's too old to be considered a prospect, but he may be the system's most ready player to get a call to the major leagues.
Brundage recently said Henson's name has been in promotion discussions.
But most of the buzz continues to be around 21-year-old third baseman Maikel Franco, especially with the Phillies' Cody Asche slumping early in the season and his current hamstring issue.
Franco's bat was as cold as the April weather, but he hit .294 in May entering Friday, and Asche is shelved with his injury.
Franco's glove and arm are major-league caliber, and he continues to work on his positioning in the field. It appears a matter of when, not if, he's ready a spot in the Phillies' clubhouse.
Here's a look at how the organization's top prospects (according to Baseball America) are doing so far this season:
Franco: A .238 batting average, .681 OPS through 49 games played. He has been stellar at third base and solid at first.
Jesse Biddle: LHP was cleared this week to return to the Double-A Reading rotation after a concussion. He's 3-4 with a 3.18 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in 10 starts. He has 24 walks in 56 2/3 innings.
J.P. Crawford: SS is hitting .341 with a .432 slugging percentage and a .913 OPS in 43 games with low Class-A Lakewood. The 19-year-old has nine stolen bases and nine errors.
Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez: RHP is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA in three starts spanning 9 1/3 innings after starting the season on the DL with shoulder problems.
Roman Quinn: SS is hitting .207 in seven games for Class A Clearwater. The 21-year-old has struck out 10 times in 29 at-bats and three stolen bases in four tries.
Carlos Tocci: OF is hitting .230 with no homers and 13 RBIs in 47 games at Lakewood. The 18-year-old has struck out 42 times in 183 at-bats and has been caught stealing in five of six attempts.
Ethan Martin: RHP has a 1.86 ERA in seven games spanning 92/3 innings for Lehigh Valley after starting the season on the DL with a shoulder problem. Brundage has been impressed with Martin's control of all his pitches and the velocity is improving.
Cesar Hernandez: Utility player hit .340 with nine errors in 26 games for Reading before being recalled by Philadelphia. He is batting just .132 in 18 games with the Phillies. He has struck out 13 times in 38 at-bats.
Aaron Altherr: OF is batting .189 in 37 games with Reading after starting the season on the DL with an injury and playing seven games in Clearwater.

Great Wall of China at Mutianyu Full Day Tour including Lunch from Beijing
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Great Wall of China at Mutianyu Full Day Tour including Lunch from Beijing. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Excellent - Jason is a great tour guide, i would definitely recommend the MuTianYu section of the wall as well. Breath taking views!
Tour was great!!! Our guide was Candy she gave us great history and guidance at the wall. We were able to see the unrestored part and not waste time trekking up the wall itself. After the wall she even gave us great guidance on what are must dos and must sees in Beijing! Candy was great!!
A very enjoyable day, thank you Michael (guide) for making it so. Well worth the money we paid for it. Excellent!
Highly recommend this tour the Great Wall is amazing
I loved every minute of this tour. This section of the Great Wall is very beautiful. I understand that our First Lady chose this section when she visited the Wall...and did the tobaggan slide option down to the parking area as did I. I'm 71 and I survived the climb and slide. Lot's of fun and very educational
Wow what a great day, I would recommend this trip and this company to everyone, only had 4 days in Beijing, did 2 very different tours and loved them both. Jackie many thanks for your impressive knowledge and sharing it.
Tour 4 of 4 in Beijing and we saved the best until last. This was our 2nd visit to the great wall (See my Badaling review) and this section is by far the more beautiful, I gave the other 5 stars so If I could have I would have given this at least 6. We were collected at 7am and driven from an hr and a half to Mutianyu where we were given the option of which part we wanted to go up to you can go up in a cable car run by one company or a chair lift run by another, We chose the chair lift as a group, why?, because the chair lift company also run the toboggan so we got to slide back down afterwards which was amazing.
Not to mention the wonderful views of a section less restored than some others and a lot less crowded, we have loads of photos of just me and my wife standing on the great wall, Beautiful.
We got 2 hrs free on the wall but our guide Cynthia had given us the chance to have 2 and a half if we wanted but some of the other people on the wall were happy with 2 and that turned out to be plenty anyway.
Lunch was lovely at an enamel factory which was very interesting to see the effort that goes into making the vases etc.
Cynthia spoke very fast but was also very funny and a few misunderstandings in the tour bus had the group in stitches not least the pronouncing of peanuts as pen*s.
Our favourite day in Beijing and we both felt that the tours were done brilliantly and worked very well to avoid as much of the traffic and heat as possible, which could have been unbearable. The side stops at factories and tea houses are interesting and just say no if you don't want to buy, we went to the tea house twice and on the second time we weren't even offered anything to buy as we had been before. They are not pushy but they are sales people so they will follow you like in every shop in Beijing, in our free time we went shopping and the staff in normal shops were more pushy its just they're way of delivering customer service, they want to follow you in case you want them.
Great guide, AMAZING VIEWS and spectacular time on the wall ^_^
Our guide Michael was awesome, so friendly and nice. But the main reason for booking this tour was to be able to get straight to the WALL! We left Beijing quite early so when we arrived at the wall there were almost no people walking on it. We quickly hiked far up and got to a section of wall that was actually overgrown and crumbling, past the touristy, renovated part. This was all BREATHTAKING. I highly recommend anyone to go visit this Mutianyu section of the wall. GO GO GO!!!
Fantastic tour, guide was helpful. Great value for the money.
This tour was perfect and rediculous lay cheap for the amount of activities/info/travel time we received. As promised, the remote section of the wall was terrific (spent two hours hiking to the nonrestored section, if u chose to do this there is no time to get to the tobogganing).
Great tour for the Great Wall at Mutianyu. May be expanded a bit more (our talkative and friendly and helpful guide told us that the tour offers more time "on the wall" than any other tour availible; yet an hour or so more time wouldn't hurt).
I had a great time on this tour. Because of scheduling the tour ended up being two of us, our driver, and our outstanding guide Jason. Jason had a fantastic way of providing an overview of Beijing, it's history, the "must see" sites, and the "must do" things. All on the hour drive to the Wall from our hotel.
The Mutianyu section of the wall is much nicer to see than the section at Badaling (which I visited years ago). Clean, well cared for, and the local vendors were more friendly than threatening. You have the choice of riding from the parking lot to the wall on either a tram or chair lift. We chose the chair since you had the option to take an alpine slide back down when we were done. Added fun!
The views were spectacular, even though there was quite a bit of smog when we started. We stopped at a cloisonne factory and government run silk shop on the way back to the hotel, and they added to the fun. One word of caution there--if you hold off to make any silk purchases as the famous Silk Street market you'll save a ton (provided you can negotiate).
Our tour guide Jason spoke perfect English and was really nice and knowledgeable. There was only one other person in my tour so we just traveled around in a 4-door sedan. We got to the Great Wall before most of the other big tour groups/buses so we had the whole place to ourselves for over one hour. We were there for 2 hours total, plenty of time to see every angle of the wall. Please note that you have to pay an additional fee in cash (RMB) depending on whether you take the gondola/cable car or the chair lift to the get to the top for walking the wall. Lunch was a huge feast and really delicious. We also had time to drive through the Olympic Village, visit a pottery factory, and enjoy free tea during a tea ceremony. It was the perfect day trip and ended around 3 pm with enough time to take in more sites on your own if you're not too tired. Highly recommended!
Be prepared to walk. Excellent tour.
