The Oak Ridge Boys have been a part of the Norsk Hostfest for decades.
Now, that history is engraved in a plaque honoring the Scandinavian celebration.
Much like the years prior, the Oak Ridge Boys performed a concert today at the Hostfest, but they took a special moment to honor the festival.
The Norsk Hostfest was named an official venue for the Oak Ridge Boys' 40th Anniversary Tour.
The relationship between the group and the Norsk Hostfest is one that travels back many years.
(David Reiten, Norsk Hostfest President)"I have to give a lot of credit to my father Chester who first brought them on. Chester really thought of the Oak Ridge Boys as part of his family because they've been here for so many years, they got along so well."
You can see the Oak Ridge Boys in concert at Copenhagen Hall at one o'clock and seven o'clock each day through Saturday.

It was another rollover Friday night for the Mega Millions lottery game, and the jackpot for the next drawing increased to $170 million.
Before the drawing, the jackpot for the game was $154 million. The winning numbers drawn Friday night were: 01 - 19 - 20 - 39 and 49, and the Mega Ball was 28.
No one matched all the numbers drawn, but among Illinois players, someone who bought their ticket at the Speedway at 16649 S. Kedzie Ave. in Markham matched five of five numbers, and will collect $250,000, according to the Illinois Lottery.
The next Mega Millions drawing will be held on Tuesday. For those whose dreams of becoming a multi-millionaire who cannot wait until then, Saturday night's Powerball drawing has a $270 million jackpot.

Officials say hot ash and embers put in the dumpster lead to the fire of a garbage truck in South Sioux City Nebraska early Thursday morning.
Assistant Fire Chief Clint Nelson says when crews arrived to the 2100 block of G Street around 4:30 a.m., flames were coming out of the top cargo area of the truck. The trash had to be dumped into a vacant lot so fire crews could put out the fire.
The controllers on the truck were damaged. No one was hurt. Nelson says it's important to make sure the embers from your fireplace are completely out before putting them in the trash.

LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Chaudhary Zaka Ashraf claimed on Friday that the PCB took a firm stance in the larger interest of Pakistan cricket along with other countries to thwart the first attack of the 'Big Three' at the recently concluded meeting of the International Cricket Council (ICC) held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is pertinent to mention that the Big Three – India, Australia and England – are planning to effectively cede control of world cricket. The proposals call for more decision-making powers for the three-strong group of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Cricket Australia (CA) and England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), who between them represent the game's wealthiest nations. Critics have slammed the plan saying it is very unfortunate that the 'Big Three' are representing the end of the notion that a fair and principled and just body can govern cricket in the interests of all. There is little merit in the 'Big Three' plan.
"We had a stance which suits our cricket and it helped us in defying the first attack of the 'Big Three' that also got the support of Bangladesh," Zaka told reporters during a news conference here at Gadaffi Stadium on his return from Dubai after attending the ICC meeting on a crucial issue of giving extra ordinary powers and control of the game's ruling body to the 'Big Three'. Zaka said the ICC was looking to get resolutions that would shake-up the world game approved 'hastily'. "The PCB and several other boards managed to hold off the onslaught for the benefit of cricket." He insisted he wasn't against any of the proposals but wanted all decisions to be taken through consensus, with every member board taken in confidence.
He said during the meeting India made a number of offers to Pakistan for playing cricket but the PCB needed firm assurances and guarantees on the issue. "I think it is a positive move to resume cricket ties between Pakistan and India. If we will be playing frequent international cricket it will help in revenue generation through a lot of ways and means, but Pakistan wants to maintain its decent stance on the issue of the 'Big Three'," he maintained.
For those who favour the 'Big Three plan, the BCCI, the ECB and Cricket Australia taking charge of the world game is not such a terrible thing for cricket. If anything, it ends the charade. Those who favour the plan say that one way or the other, these three boards have written the rules of the game in the last two decades without being officially responsible for them. The ICC has become a euphemism for cricket's maladministration without ever having the mandate for it from its principal constituents, so for the proxy rulers to officially commit themselves to leadership cannot be the worst outcome.
The PCB chief said if given a chance he was keen to meet Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, who is also the patron in chief of the PCB, to brief him on the 'Big Three' and to have his opinion on the issue. "I want to chalk out a strategy in the larger interest of Pakistan and to present the case of the country in the next ICC meeting." The Bangladesh Cricket Board was one of the four boards that Zaka claimed were against the proposals, but on Wednesday they accepted the revised proposals for the restructure of the ICC after securing assurance that their Test status will not be revoked. Apart from Pakistan, it is understood that South Africa and Sri Lanka have sought time to study the revised paper.
"With Bangladesh extending support to the 'Big Three' now, the situation has changed and the number of support for the 'Big Three' has increased," he added. He said later on the West Indies also joined Bangladesh to extend support to the 'Big Three'. "But we will be deciding on the issue of support to the 'Big Three' after getting a guideline from the government. Whatever decision the ICC will take on the 'Big Three' it will be taken with mutual understanding and approval of all Test playing affiliated members."
But the plan's supporters argue boards would be freed from 'unviable' tours, whatever their merit in cricketing terms, and that this would lead 'the seven' beyond the 'Big Three' to become more financially self-sufficient. The proposals need seven votes from the ICC's 10 leading nations to pass. The BCCI has also appeared to float 'the nuclear option' of withdrawing from all ICC events if the proposals are not accepted. This is a potentially disastrous situation for many of the game's smaller nations given the BCCI, thanks to cricket's huge popularity in India, currently generates some 80 percent of the ICC's global revenue.
Zaka said if the plan of the 'Big Three' countries was approved then the trio would get major part of the income of the ICC, while Pakistan and other countries would continue to receive their respective shares. He dispelled the impression that he was having differences with the government saying he was serving the PCB after his reinstatement by the Islamabad High Court. Zaka said an important meeting of the PCB governing council would be held in February to seek the advice of all the members on the 'Big Three' issue.
Nevertheless, Cricket South Africa (CSA) and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), representing two leading countries, if not two of the most financially powerful, have both called for the withdrawal of the 'Big Three' plan – 'position paper'. Leading former senior administrators, led by Pakistan's one-time ICC president Ehsan Mani, have also denounced the 'Big Three' plan. "Why does the BCCI need more money at the expense of other countries?" Mani wrote in an open letter to the ICC, adding more funds should be diverted to cricket's junior nations. "If cricket could be established properly in the USA and China and become an Olympic sport, the ICC could double its revenues in real terms over the next 10-15 years," he said. "This requires vision and a less parochial approach."

Integrierte Versorgung in Deutschland - ein empirisches Schlaglicht
AbstractIntegrated health care is one of the major issues in German health care policy at this moment. This is due to recent changes in social security law, which now allows for direct contracts between providers and statutory health insurances. The changes were enacted in January 2004 and thus far over 2,000 contracts between hospitals, physicians and health insurances have been reported. Over 4 million patients and nearly half a billion Euros in fees are affected by that change. Little work has been done in Germany so far in evaluating those contracts. In addition, there is merely no information on the experiences from physicians, patients or health administrators. The paper looks empirically on a sample from physicians and health administrators, who were being asked via a standardized questionnaire on their thoughts now that two years under the new system have gone by.

- Shut down Chad Gaudin - now - for the remainder of the season.
- Do not - I repeat, do not - bring up Daric Barton this year, under any circumstances.
I several reasons for believing the A's should abide by both of these, and I hope you'll read on.
- I'm writing this on the heels of Gaudin's four-inning, 5 walk, 5 ER performance against the light-hitting Twins today, but I'm not giving a knee-jerk reaction, either. Gaudin was far more dominant in April and May than he was in June, and I expect that trend to continue.
We're an educated readership, so I can cut some corners in this summary...one of the greatest causes of young pitchers breaking down is a dramatic increase in workload from one year to the next. Gaudin threw 84 combined AAA and big-league innings last year, and he's already hit 113.1 after tonight's start.
Why is he walking more people lately? As a former pitcher myself, I'm guessing he's experiencing a little bit of "dead arm" - from his enhanced workload - and so he's having to nibble more than he did when his stuff was very lively in April and May. This problem will only get worse as the year goes on. "Dead arm" recovers from a period of rest (like, an offseason or a DL stint), not from continuing to pitch.
Contrary to what common sense would tell us, we do not want Chad Gaudin to throw 200 innings this year. He's only 24 years old, and even though he's been a starter before, it would be drastically poor mistake to make a one-year jump of 100 innings for a young pitcher.
In writing this, I'm suggesting that we as a team should consciously "punt" on this 80-win season that we're in the makings of producing. And, yeah, that's controversial - it's publicly announcing that we don't think this is a playoff roster. But what is the single-greatest "glass-half-full" element of the frustrating A's 2007 season? I'd say it's the remarkable discovery of a third excellent cost-controlled starter to pair with Haren and Blanton. And if we ride Gaudin into the dirt this year in the name of finishing 82-80 instead of 78-84, that would be colossally stupid. Because I can almost assure you that 200 innings of Chad Gaudin this year would mean a broken-down Chad Gaudin in '08, and perhaps beyond. I've read too much good analysis about baseball and young pitcher workloads to think otherwise.
- As for Daric Barton...
Aren't we glad that Beane wasn't as excited as AN was about that hot June? Barton's June was exactly that - a torrid month. Thus far in July Barton has been a very pedestrian .286/.310/.429. When fans evaluate their top prospects, they make the same mistake some big-league teams make - they are so excited to see that player reach his expected potential, that they leap at the first sign of him doing so. But that same logic is what got Alex Gordon rushed to the big leagues after one good spring training - a 70 at-bat sample size! Because of that over-excitement, the Royals are essentially wasting a cost-controlled year of one of the best hitting prospects in baseball in a non-contending year for them. Exacerbating the error in the Royals' judgment is that they moved a perfectly capable third baseman (Teahen) off of the hot corner in order to create a spot for him, thereby lessening Teahen's value. And the ripple effect of that decision is, it's effectively blocking an OF spot for Craig Brazell, who is leading the entire minor leagues in homers!
Hindsight shows that rushing Gordon on the basis of a small sample size wasn't prudent at this juncture, and neither would it have been to rush Barton after his spectacular June.
The best tact to take with Barton, who is still only 21 (!), is to do what the Brewers did with Ryan Braun, and wait for him to force the A's hand, just as Braun did Milwaukee's.
I'd still like to see Daric Barton do a few things:
a.) Play a full season of AAA baseball and have an OPS over 1.000. If he can do that, then we can assume with the typical regression, that he can be an .850 OPS first baseman or better at the big league level.
b.) Hit left-handed pitching well. He still doesn't do that. Do you want to start platooning a 21-year-old? I don't, because that becomes a catch-22, and it's one of the reasons Jacque Jones' career never really blossomed after reaching the big leagues at a young age: You can't hit him against lefties because he's terrible, but if you never give him any experience hitting against lefties, he'll always be terrible at it. So again, let Barton figure out how to do that for a full year at least in AAA. Why not wait until he can slug .480-.500 against AAA lefties, or two years, whichever comes first?
c.) This correlates with a) and b), but develop some home-run power, considering he plays a premium offensive position the A's will always need to get power from.
A month ago, I had a letter "d" on that list, which was, "discover if Barton can play third base." We now know he can't, or at least, the A's brass has decided that. In a span of three days in June, he made 5 errors at third, including one game with a "hat trick" at the hot corner. He hasn't been back since, and being committed to 1b full-time coincided with his mid-June offense surge.
But my point is, if we KNOW that Barton is locked at first base/DH, then he has to be that much better offensively. First base is the premier offensive position in major league baseball. This isn't like bringing up Miguel Tejada at age 21, when he has tremendous value simply by filling a vacuum we had and playing the premier defensive position on the field. You can swallow a terrible offensive season in that circumstance. If you bring up a first baseman, you have to be damn sure that he's ready to hit. And anyone who is absolutely certain of Barton's readiness is being overly optimistic.
To force that move - especially when we already have a first baseman in DJ who is making ~400K, has an .825 OPS, and plays good defense (the metrics suggest this), is RIDICULOUS.
So, here's what I've heard others say, and it sounds like a nice compromise: "Bring Barton up for a little while, see how he does, and if he doesn't, no worries - you can send him down, and you haven't wasted much service time at all." That's a pretty good argument, and it shows how sophisticated baseball fans have become in the last five years. (Did people used to talk like that about baseball before blogs?)
But that isn't a good idea, either.
It's unwise to even give Barton a cup of coffee this year. Here's why: A major leaguer uses up an "option" in each year that he a.) is on the 40-man roster, and b.) sent down on a minor league assignment. Options are tricky, and they are the least understood element in baseball in my opinion, and there isn't one website that tracks them, which why I'm going to make them the focus on my column for The Hardball Times in the coming months. But in brief...a player usually gets 3 options. In Barton's case, if we added him to the 40-man roster at his age, we'd get 4. Let's do some math, and present a near-worst-case scenario:
- Bring Barton up for java, send him down (option #1 at age 21)
- Barton struggles horribly in spring training, starts in AAA. Turns out he gets hurt, and spends the whole year there. He still uses option #2 at age 22, because he's already been added to the 40-man roster last year. (Yes, that's right - Javier Herrera is using an option year right now in Midland, and Jason Windsor's using one in Sacramento).
- Great! Barton's healthy again...but he needs to get his swing back. Turns out that takes an entire year. (Option #3 at age 23)
- Barton opens the season with the big club. He has a good few months, but then he hits a slide...he scuffles so bad that we need to send him down, for option #4. This happens all the time with 24-year-old hitters. Heck, it happened to DJ last year at age 26, and DJ was an excellent AAA hitter.
Here's my point in that scenario: By the next season, we've put ourselves in a position with Barton at age 25 where absolutely nothing can go wrong. He has to stick, because he can't get sent down. And it's very conceivable that Barton will not yet be the hitter that he is going to become by age 25. Look at 28-year-old Jack Cust for evidence of that.
I didn't even use the bleakest scenario possible in that Barton hypothetical. Heck, I had him only get hurt in one season. Teams lose players because they rushed them and exhausted their options all the time. Some of the success stories in the game right now - including Gaudin himself, and Jeremy Guthrie - happened partially because their previous teams rushed them unnecessarily, wasted a few of their options, and gave up on them from a combination of frustration and the lack of options that their own decisions caused them.
I don't want the A's to do it with their best prospect.
I get the sentiment. Seeing new prospects is fun, especially in a down season that won't yield a playoff berth. You want to see the future, and you want to see it now. It's human nature.
It just isn't an intelligent baseball move.

I know everyone is reaming the Colts defense and praising the ability of Manning and Dallas Clark as usual. Manning, Clark, and Garcon all played an awesome game, but someone needs to give the Colts defense a little credit.
Against the Jaguars we did much better in limiting rushing yards than in years past. And when I watched the 2nd half, the Colts defense, even though it was huffing and puffing on oxygen masks, were getting back off the ground and giving it 110%. To have spent 45 minutes on the field playing defense and to make the vital stop on Miami's final drive deserves a bunch of credit. Many defenses would have folded due to exhaustion, but the Colts stuffed the run, tipped balls, and played their hearts out. If it wasn't for that stand the outcome of the game could have been much different, and the Dolphins really had plenty of time to get it in the end zone.
However, what was with all of the off-side jumps?!!! I realize that with taking on a completely different offense like the Wildcat that you've never encountered that you'll be a little jumpy, but the defense has to be much more disciplined. The Colts had WAY too many off-side charges. And even Freeney got charged with one.
The defense deserves some credit, but they definitely need to work on improving.

Do the Writers of Cracked Read CH?
In an article entitled "4 Ways Horse Meat Proves a Zombie Apocalypse Can Happen," Josh Hruby proposes this idea: "So, terrible food bought from less-than-reputable places (at least from a food service standpoint) can easily carry some kind of pathogen and go undetected. Let's say Banana Sandwich, our crazy employee from the previous entry, inserts the G-virus into some horse meat and sends it out the door." Suspicious, is it not?

Technology Assessment:
Using Biometrics for Border Security
GAO-03-174: Published: Nov 15, 2002. Publicly Released: Nov 15, 2002.

As directed in the Fiscal Year 2002 Legislative Branch Appropriations Conference Report and subsequent support letters from interested members of Congress, GAO conducted a pilot program in technology assessment that examined the use of biometric technologies for border control. Biometric technologies are available today and are being used for a variety of applications such as access control and criminal identification and surveillance. GAO considered a number of leading and emerging biometric technologies that could potentially be used for securing the nations borders. The seven leading biometric technologies include facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, hand geometry, iris recognition, retina recognition, signature recognition, and speaker recognition. To evaluate the effectiveness of biometrics in border control, it is important to recognize that the use of biometric technology would be but one component of the decision to support systems that determine who is allowed to enter the United States and who is not. Biometric technology can play a role in associating a person with travel documents such as visas and passports. When used at a border inspection, the biometric comparison can be used to help decide whether to admit a traveler into the United States. Before any decision is made to implement biometrics in a border control system, the benefits of the system must be weighed against its costs. The purpose of any biometrics initiative is to prevent the entry of travelers who are inadmissible to the United States. The costs of biometric border control system will not be trivial. Important policy implications must be addressed in trade-offs between increasing security and the impact on areas such as privacy, economy, traveler convenience, and international relations. Civil liberties groups and privacy experts have expressed concern about the adequacy of protections under current law for biometric data and an absence of clear criteria governing data sharing.

Paladino claimed post photographers had been stalking his illegitimate 10-year-old daughter - an assertion Dicker denies.
Paladino's candidacy also poses questions for the future of New York's Republican Party. Once a centrist organization of Rockefeller moderates, now Tea Party activists and divisive social issues are fracturing the party.
And the centrist and unopposed Sayward has noticed.
"I'm awfully glad I don't have competition this year because I think that if there was any year that 'throw the bums out' was the mantra, it's this year," she said.
Many political observers are wondering if a rightist GOP can even stay afloat in ever-blue New York State. The GOP has even lost its foothold on upstate Congressional districts that were once Republican strongholds.
And for Sayward, it may be time for something new.
"We know that in life, the answer lives in the middle. You can't just have this butting of heads all of the time - you just can't," Sayward said. "You can have different ideas, but at the end of the day - if there's an issue that's important statewide - there has to be compromise."
Sayward said a centrist third party could draw moderates from members of both parties that continually march toward the political extremes. She notes it could potentially prompt more of one of the hardest things to come by in Albany - compromise.

Record rainfall is making travel on some Lubbock County roads nearly impossible. So far, this is the 3rd wettest year on record for the South Plains and the 5th wettest May on record.
To give you some perspective, in Lubbock County, we've had 10 more inches of rain this May than last May and even more than that in some areas. There's another chance of rain Tuesday night and that may only add to a growing problem for Lubbock County residents and road crews.
The Director of Lubbock County Public Works, Nicholas Olenik says, they're "thankful for the rainfall, but it's taken a toll on the roads and guys continue to find things to do in the shop."
But on this sunny day crews are out cleaning up Mother Nature's recent showers.
George Garcia, a roads maintenance crew member says, until the roads dry out it's hard from them to do anything.
It's the dirt and caliche roads that are most affected, as they are easily saturated with water.
"Typically the traffic will run down the middle of the road when they're wet as for a safety factor. It tracks out the middle of the roads and makes it lower than sometimes the ditches and the sustained rain doesn't give us an opportunity to reestablish the roads," says Olenik.
The problem is when the culvert becomes blocked up brush and debris. In the case of County Road 2340, it caused water to flood nearly 2 feet high, making the road nearly impassable.
County Road 2340 resident Shawn Dominey says, "There were cars pulling up to it and backing back home because they couldn't leave and this is the only real road we have to come out."
It's the same story on a different county road. "It's getting worse every time it rains. It's getting nearly impossible. We had to haul dirt in last night to get in," says South Lubbock County resident Steve Adams.
But right now, no one seems to be pointing fingers, only looking up to see what Mother Nature will do next.
"It's not the county's fault, it's not the residences' fault, it's just weather related and you're not going to fix the weather," says Dominey.
The Director of Lubbock County Public Works says the bottom line is, it all comes down to more sunny days drying out the South Plains.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Some non-traditional students who got behind in class are on the fast track to graduation thanks to a special Dougherty County Schools program designed to help them.
Monday night, 24 Performance Learning Center students were celebrated and honored for their accomplishments.
Several students stepped up to the microphone and shared their stories with school leaders. They say without PLC, it would have been hard for them to make it to graduation day.
"The program is very successful. We are very excited. We have several students dually enrolled at Albany Technical College. We have students going on to secondary education so it's a very successful program," said CIS Executive Director Susan Haynes.
The PLC students will be able to join their classes from the four high schools at graduation ceremonies this weekend.

I've long been tinkering about with a bottle of Baileys, seeing how it could best be called upon in the kitchen, and I think, with this, I've found it. An Italian friend of mine, who makes a killer tiramisu herself, was an instant convert. I was relieved; the Italians generally are conservative about their food, which goes some way to explaining the longevity of their cherished culinary traditions. But this only sounds like some sort of joke — "Did you hear the one about the Irishman and the Italian ... ?" — and in reality is an elegantly buff-tinted, creamy-toned variant of the punchy if comfortably clichéd original.
Make the coffee and let it cool (the espresso powder does mix fairly well in room temperature water).
Mix the coffee and ¾ cup of the Baileys together in a shallow bowl.
Dip the ladyfingers into this liquid; let them soak on each side enough to become damp but not soggy. Line the bottom of an 8½-inch square glass dish with a layer of lady-fingers.
Separate the eggs, but keep only one of the whites. Whisk the two yolks and sugar together until thick and a paler yellow, then fold in the remaining quarter cup of Baileys and the mascarpone to make a moussey mixture.
Whisk the single egg white until thick and frothy; you can do this by hand with such a little amount. Fold the egg white into the yolky mascarpone, and then spread half of this mixture on top of the layer of ladyfingers.
Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers, and then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and leave in the fridge overnight. When you are ready to serve, push the cocoa through a small fine-mesh sieve to dust the top of the tiramisu.

Protesters blast Wall Street and war; support OccupySF
Story by Nena Farrell, photos by Ariel Soto-Suver
"We're mad as hell, and we're not taking it anymore!" was Tanya Dennis's cry yesterday (Thurs/6) afternoon at a march and rally that drew from the Occupy San Francisco/Occupy Wall Street and the anti-war movements. It began at the Federal Building at Mission and 7th streets, where protesters will return today at 4:30 pm for a march marking the 10th anniversary of the war against Afghanistan.
Dennis got the crowd to scream the words with her, chanting it. Because it's true—they're not taking it anymore. She was one of the many featured speakers at the protest, along with representatives from OccupySF, the California Democratic Party, the American Indian Movement, and so many more. There were also sections of open microphones, where people could stand up to make a proposal, or usually just to make a point.
One of the open speakers proposed we free people. She had the entire gathering call it out with her: "Free people, free people."
That's one of the four demands that the 99 percent – the people that the occupiers say they represent – is making. One, to protect the environment. Two, to care for the people. Three, to tax the rich. And four, to end the wars. These are the four demands of the movement. At the protest, these four demands were posted on multiple signs.
The protest was in solidarity with the anti-war action in Washington DC. And from DC, the event had Dick Cheney – or rather, an impersonator of the former vice president – here to open the event. Upon his arrival, he was booed, but Cheney himself seemed fairly pleased with the entire situation. He joked that he brought three virgin hearts with him in case he was shot.
After the speakers, the protest moved to march down to 101 Market Street, where Occupy San Francisco has its movement encampment. The group moved down the blocks, chanting "Banks got bailed out, we got sold out!" Each time they came to a bank along Market Street, the entire group would stop and cry together "Make banks pay" and "Tax the rich."
It was the speakers, overall, that brought the real power to the event. They described the madness the working class was facing, the entire country and our state, and even the outside countries that we have both declared and undeclared wars on. And not just by the selected featured speakers, but also the ones like Sheila Gun Cushman, a blind woman who spoke up during the open speakers, saying "We have wanted this for years, it's about bleepin' time!"
Janet Weil, a Code Pink activist, was moved by the speakers as well: "[The] testimony of people at open mike was very powerful and important."
Greg, how about we start telling ourselves the truth and start holding accountable those who have gotten paid to lead us to failure as a first step?
By any objective measure, progressives, liberals and true moderates have seen our positions deteriorate over the past 30+ years.
Either we continue on the same path and see more of the same results or we hold people accountable for their failures and we reprogram those resources to something else that might have a chance of working.
Just to clarify. My response just below is to Guest's comment further above, not a response to the comment just above by Marcos.
And you are obviously a right wing concern troll provocateur masquerading as a 'radical' in order to play a propaganda game of attacking and diminishing the movement that is rising up. No one serious in that movement is likely to buy your bullshit however.
And I of course am fully aware that global capitalism has been kicking the shit out of the movement and the planet for decades. I've been a 'radical' activist fighting that onslaught the whole time. And of course if the 'radical' movement that prevailed in Seattle, Quebec, Can Cun, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, etc hadn't accomplished what we did, you know what? The world would have been a lot fucking worse.
The people reading this blog who aren't stealth shills for corporations get that.
And now, at last, it looks like the tables are very likely turning - and that really scares right wing money grubbing pricks like you, doesn't it? So much that you are spewing FBI style propaganda attacks on organizers in a pathetic attempt to discourage them.
It won't work.
No, Eric, in the global north, progressives, liberals and moderates have not been even speed bumps on the road to corporate dominance. In San Francisco, we have served as speed bumps that have been rolled over so many times in the past five years that we've been ground into insignificance.
Just because activists expend energy contesting issues does not mean that anything gets accomplished on those issues.
The energy being raised right now has nothing to do with the traditional sources of progressive organizing--labor and the advocacy nonprofits, it is arising spontaneously from different quarters.
How many "E"s for effort can we as a movement expect to get before we flunk the course?
That implies that elections don't matter; only whatever change you can achieve through non-democratic coercion. That's how terrorists think.
The "effort" should be applied in convincing the voters that you are right. If you can't do that, then your view of what is needed will remain an irrelevancy.
"Feeling" that you're right doesn't make you right. If most people think you're wrong, chances are you are wrong, no matter how much "conviction" you feel.
I am not making any activist effort in this mayoral election and I am achieving as much as those who are putting extensive effort into it.
Organizing to win elections is all but meaningless if there is no organization to compel elected officials to govern for their electoral coalition instead of abandoning that coalition in favor of a different governing coalition.
Popular movements are stymied in that there are structural constraints built into the system where labor and nonprofits dependent on corporate and government cash for their survival cut deals that buy them in by buying us all out and take proactive steps to discourage popular mobilization lest it crimp Their Good Thing.
This model has been put into place since 1980 at least, maturing during the Klinton regime and cemented in during the post-9/11 hysteria about all activism being tantamount to terrorism.
Guess what? Well meaning liberals in advocacy jobs are not able to just negotiate it all for us, because absent the threat of mobilized communities, they just get rolled for less and less every year.
Organized labor? Well, the numbers tell it all, as does the national Democrats response to Wisconsin and their passage of EFCA when they had the House and Senate.
I'm not sure what's worse, corporate conservatives who use labor and nonprofits for the illusion of popular serving government or the labor bosses and nonprofit executive directors who herd their constituencies like harmless sheep, ensuring that our position continues to deteriorate.
You don't seem very aware of how the organizing against the global trade pacts happened. That organizing was led and coordinated by anarchists. On the surface it might have looked like the big liberal groups were in charge, because they wisely got on board after anarchists led the way (just as is excitingly happening right now with the Occupy Wall Street protests). But that's not how it went down. It was the Zapatistas who began that wave of anti-corporate globalization organizing, and then anarchists in the north also picked up the ball here and accomplished major victories.
Trust me man, I was there at the core of that movement. We stopped huge amounts of really bad stuff from happening that most people never even knew was happening, and still don't know about.
For example the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI). See:
I've long struggled with my own demons
It's difficult being socialist in a capitalist society

If you recall, one rationale for the invasion of Afghanistanto was save the Afghan women from oppression by the Taliban. But are the women of Afghanistan better off now, ten years later? Check out this interview with Reena, an Afghan woman and member of RAWA, on Democracy Now~
"Ten years ago when U.S. invaded Afghanistan, they made promises of democracy, women's rights, and a general improvement in the lives of people. But ten years later, today, the situation is clearly getting worse for our people. Everyday life has not improved. Women's situation has gotten worse. There is no sign of democracy or freedom or peace anywhere. In fact, civilian deaths have reached 10,000 on this anniversary. And it's going to continue to rise with the surge of troops and increase in assaults, this will obviously be continuing."
Don't you complain about biased sources?
This article might help.
Some of the reasons for invading Afghanistan were bullshit, while all of the reasons for Iraq were. The abuse of women by the religious a-holes in the Taliban was real and documented.
The leadership of NOW at the time was rightly worked up about the situation in Afghanistan, as were many other leftist rights organizations.
So called progressives look at every day as the first day of year zero.
The reasons so many of these countries are toilets are not because of your rote and learned ravings about the USA, but because the people that live their and come to power are religious shit heads.
I'm opposed to much of the USA foreign policy, but to blame the USA for Afghanistan being a toilet? This is like your citing your conspiracy addled experts on the middle east who claimed that the USA incited the riots and unrest in various middle Eastern states, and then fell silent when the locals started to move ahead.
Seriously, put the bong down, history is longer than what happened this week.
Back in the 1970s and 80s, Afghanistan was at peace and women enjoyed the same rights as men. It wasn't a democracy, and there was the occasional coup every few years, but it sure was a heck of a lot better than now.
The problem was that Afghanistan was aligned with the Soviet union, and we didn't like that much. And we were willing to do whatever it took, including destroying the country, to change that. Brezhinsky even told then President Carter that "we have the opportunity to create the Soviet Union's own Vietnam," which we promptly did.
No thugs or criminals were too unsavory for us to work with, as long as they were against the Soviets. So we funded warlords and drug dealers, thieves and fundamentalists... hell we even gave money and training to bin Laden himself. After a decade of bloody civil war, we finally got our wish and the warlords and the poppy dealers finally wrested control of a now-devastated country. And every government since has been worse than the previous. The US has no one to blame but itself.
The Pakistanis and then later other gulf states such as the Saudis started to finance the Mujahidin after the commie revolution in Afghanistan invited in troops from the USSR. This was a rare time where many of these states governments got together on something. In general the population of many Muslim states were indifferent but the leaders feared communist crazies. The the Chinese joined in too, sending in millions in arms and $$$. Oddly helping create their own problem with fundies. Even India lent some tacit support to the cause, even though they hate Muslims as a policy and were somewhat aligned with the USSR.
The USA was one of many who got involved, after Pakistan and others started to support the locals fighting the commies. The local states were quite afraid of Soviet aggression so they started to finance and help recruit for the war. Well after the communist coup, well after the commies made the population hate them, after the USSR sent in troop's, this made neighboring states get to work as they feared they would be next, so they started to finance the locals.
The local commies took over a fairly easy going state and started to kill people like they always do, they made the Shah (who is also a scum bag) look restrained, not quite as bad as the Ayatolla though. The Soviets got involved _after_ the local revolutionary government had pissed off the population. The soviets removed the local commie nut case at some point, by then it was too late as the security forces were too addicted to mass murder and the population hated them so very much. When the soviets at last left Afghanistan the local commie government was so generally hated by the population that there was no hanging on for them. When they at last lost the capital the locals killed them all and let their backward god sort them out.
Yes, the USA supported some garbage, but Afghanistan was in open revolution before the USA, or even the USSR got directly involved, by that point the communists had made themselves absolutely hated by the general population. Not the fault of the USA. The growth of the crazy Islamists in this case was helped along by the commies, as the ones in Iran was helped along by the USA.
The Afghanistan Islamist crazies are the result of, USSR 90%, Pakistan, China, the USA etc... at most 10%.
Again I am not a supporter of much of US foreign stupidities, and the USA did support some shit bags in this case, but the USA joined in late in the game and was probably medium player as far as foreign states involved go.
You don't have the slightest idea what you are talking about. The U.S. State Department and CIA carefully orchestrated nearly the entire Afghanistan/Soviet conflict during the Carter administration; and indeed were directly involved in training and using Bin Laden as a CIA asset in that war.
Look for a book titled 'The Grand Chessboard' by Zbigniew Brzezinski, and give it a good read. Then deign to pontificate about world affairs in Central Asia.
Resistance intensifies with various mujahideen groups fighting Soviet forces and their DRA allies. In the first six months of the campaign, the Soviets commit more than 80,000 personnel to occupy Afghanistan. The US, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia supply money and arms to the mujahideen. The US leads a boycott of the Moscow Olympics.
The United States, the United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia became major financial contributors, the United States donating "$600 million in aid per year, with a matching amount coming from the Persian Gulf states."[91] The People's Republic of China also sold Type 59 tanks, Type 68 assault rifles, Type 56 assault rifles, Type 69 RPGs, and much more to mujahideen in co-operation with the CIA, as did Egypt with assault rifles. Most notably the CIA donated FIM-92 Stinger anti-aircraft missile systems, which caused notable changes to Soviet tactics. The Stinger missile locked on to infra-red emissions from aircraft, particularly engine exhaust, and was resistant to interference from decoy flares. Countermeasure flares and a missile warning systems were later installed in all Soviet Mi-2, Mi-8, and Mi-24 helicopters and Soviet fighter aircraft, giving pilots a chance to evade the missile. Heat dissipaters were also fitted to exhausts to decrease the Mi-24's heat signature. These reduced the Stinger threat but did not eliminate it.[92][93]
You should read up on why the commies alienated the locals to see why they are responsible for the religious fundies going amok. I know sweet nothings about commie antics are nice to believe, you and Greg can bemoan the well intentioned murder and whatnot by the communists in Afghanistan after they came to power.
The Pakistan military and security services did the majority of the logistics on their front while the Chinese did their own farther north. Why in the world would the CIA go to the trouble if they could get the Pakies to do it for them?
I know it sucks, because the conspiracy requires them to be supermen, but the CIA is in general a bunch of inept clowns with lots of money. They just tossed that money to the Pakistan government who took a cut and then siphoned some off to Afghanistan. Thats how it's done, not some super human CIA boasting by a government stooge.
All of that predated by covert operations out of the Carter White House.
I give you kudos for actually writing a decent number of words on a real topic, but you haven't done nearly enough research to know what you are writing about.
Read 'The Grand Chessboard'. It's a good start to true understanding of this stuff.

He's a real Renaissance man. And to think - he shares all that knowledge with the readers of this forum for free - and on a daily basis!!
How lucky we are.
...it's the USA's fault that Afghanistan was taken over by the religious idiots.
It was not.
The commies who took over the country in a coup started the process of being hated all on their own, by doing what they do every time they take over a country. Without the home grown fighters how exactly would there be open rebellion?
The neighbors of Afghanistan including Pakistan and China with financing from some of the oil states such as Saudi Arabia joined in. The US was a player, after many of the others were involved. Countries like Saudi Arabia encouraged and were happy to see their own local religious nuts leave to Afghanistan, thus adding to the post communist governments problems.
Not much of a conspiracy here, you conspiracy folks give the various US security forces way to much credit. Do you think they could start a mass armed rebellion in Canada?
Again, it was U.S. covert operations which lured the Soviets into a crackdown on Afghanistan. The rest is history. The blowback has been continuous and profound (not to mention fully intended by cynical U.S. operatives).
The US had nothing to do with USSR supporting the local communists.
...as reprinted from the Washington Post:
You're link proves my points.
Jesus Christ you rote America haters are stupid.
Hmm. Care to explain that absurd remark with an argument?
Seek higher ground the tide will rise
Finding room on the hill is a struggle , much is claimed already
Celebrate the beauty of the day , smell the coffee , embrace your compatriots there is much to be gained along the winding road
I look forward to feasting on some rich table scraps
Trickle down seems to have starved the carrot that once enticed dreamers in America , it's time to build a better tomorrow with a room at the Inn for a fair price
Only take as much as you need , there are many mouths to feed , and the haves don't play nice with others , they only play nice with each other
Over indulgence can cause lethargy , allowing complacency to infiltrate , this I can attest to
Stay hungry , & eat the rich should you be fortunate enough to have such an opportunity being mindful there only so much to go around , if only they could grasp such a concept
If it's not too good for one , it's probably good enough for all
smile on your other
Enjoy Each other
Fear naught
Come & go in peace be with you
Yes, all the issues are interrelated. Basically, when you have a system that glorifies money and profit over people, this is what you get. Also, we're a violent culture...we glorify violence. We don't know any other way. Easier to use technology, fight an "enemy" and ram it down their throats. It's what we know.
The one person who speaks in the most eloquent way for me is Elizabeth Warren running for Senator of Massachusetts. If you haven't listened to the clip of her speaking that went viral, you owe it to yourself to do so. Now that's the kinda "punch" I like to see, packed into a mere 2 minutes: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20110042-503544.html
As far as the Seattle protests, they happened in an economic boomtime, were centered around talks that were temporary in nature, and 9/11 happened not too long after distracting all of us. This is far different. This thing is spreading for a reason. A good reason. It's time to re-condition ourselves to being a caring society, not one where the bottom line rules the day at the expense of people's well being and the health of the planet.
Yes. These new protests are simply the previous Global Movement standing back up on its feet (and now far stronger) after it temporarily lost its footing following 9/11.
Based on individual experiences people pick and choose their way through their value system. It takes a systematic belief system for many people to find the answers for all of life's questions in a few simple equations. The far left and right answer these questions and supply these equations based on buzz words..
Conflating all of the things that piss you off about life is not an answer but an excuse.
We Americans compared to most nations and cultures are quite peaceful. When climbing the latter away from low level drug dealing we are amazingly non violent nation. We don't have clan and ethnic mass murder like much of the world. Remove drug/gang crime, the USA would be rated with Western Europe. Western Europe isn't tied a home grown need and the southern border drug trade as the USA is. The average citizen has no interest in violence, so you are just stringing together your complaints.
What I would like to see is increased taxes on corporations who choose to outsource their manufacturing to countries to save on costs, and tax incentives to companies who choose to operate in the us borders. Would create many new jobs and decrease our dependance on foreign countries..
Early Thursday morning when SFPD was 'cleaning debris' outside the Federal Reserve, why was it D11 Supervisor, John Avalos,who showed up to try and moderate, not the D6 Supervisor, it's supposed to be her turf. Anyone aware of any comments she may have made, or position she has taken?
So you're right that it's not really any of Avalos's business. And it's equally true that he won't gain anything by this stunt.
This is exactly why avalos can't win - he only cares about his own element. He doesn't have city-wide viability, nor does he seem to try or care.
It is every supervisors' business when the executive branch breaks up free speech that challenges corporate power.
Jane Kim, like all elected officials has a choice, whether to stand with corporate power in the face of a structural economic crisis that is only getting worse or to stand with the people and our right to challenge that arrangement.
It is clear that there are enough corrupt claims on the dwindling public purse that the ability of corporate power to maintain control is becoming increasingly constrained just as the ability of the public sector to fund its dwindling portfolio is likewise constrained.
Capitalism has more WMDs aimed at itself than it is able to marshal against a rising tide of discontent. The worse things become, the more people won't take it anymore and the fewer resources corporate power has to check the masses.
Talk all you want about people of color, you ain't seen nothing yet until you've seen entitled white people resisting getting screwed into poverty.
10 of the 11 supervisors have no legitimate jurisdiction there. They can still show up but they have no mandate to speak on behalf of the residents.
Then again, most of the protestors are probably out-of-town agitators anyway.
And so you know, the figure for Bay area residents who are NOT protesting is 99.99%. That's the real mandate. People want jobs not mindless protests.
We are constantly being told that districts need to suck it up and deal with their citywide responsibilities when the wealthy need to squeeze more money out of our neighborhoods. But when it comes to matters like freedom and challenging corporate dominance, provincialism rules!
true believers like you don't need any facts, do you?
just like the religious right, except you worship money.
I think from the dissembling and deliberate misinterpretation of my brief comment, that this Anonymous might be our late unlamented PaulT from wherever he/she is hiding. Let me spell it out in terms even the simple minded and obtuse should be able to understand. Avalos was the ONLY public official who showed up in an attempt to defuse a potentially volatile situation, it is questionable whether this will help or hurt his election chances. Time will tell. But I think it demonstrates that when the people's business needs to be attended to, they know who to call. His choice was to show up, Kim's was not.
defuse anything. It was merely symbolism and, probably, an attempt to shore up his support among the left. A more subtle candidate would have recognized that this would in fact diminish his broader appeal among voters, but Avalos lacks the political smarts to figure that out.
Interestingly, two of Oakland's supervisors tried to put themselves between police and protesters a few months ago and were roundly and rightly criticized for it.
The difference here was at least that Avalos did not try and disrupt the police action, if only because he knew he had no authority or mandate.
No. If you see clearly, you can distill things down to their essential elements. That's what I did, meatlock. I don't have a belief system—I do have good eyes though, and an intact heart.
Don't call me "far left" please, because I don't even call myself that! I'm a human being who has studied nonviolence, and who happens to be good at "seeing the big picture".
I'm very entertained when I see all the bickering and name calling that goes on in these blogs—but again, not, because it's just a reflection of that violence I was talking about.
I'm not using "buzz words" guy. I'm assessing the situation with clear eyes: capitalism is a system that puts a premium on $$/profit--check the definition. Now, in my humble opinion, it's run amock--gone "unchecked" if you will. A few well-placed regulations will probably put things right. That's what this little revolution is all about and I'm down with it. It's okay if you're not. But just remember what Bob Dylan said:
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'…
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
And as far as your remark about us being quite peaceful compared to most nations~well what about:
• The fact that we are the largest supplier of weapons in the world?
• How about all the gun violence that takes place within our borders and the fact that it's so easy to buy a gun?
• Violent video games abounding—for kids!
• The 6 o'clock news. Have you watched it lately?
We are still suffering the consequences of having subjugated a whole race in slavery…that was violence done on a massive scale to a whole people. We see echoes of it today in the mindset that says it's not okay to be gay~seeing people as "other" just because they're different…All of this is violence.
With rhetoric like "Put the Bong Down Lisa"…calling someone's thoughts and opinions "ravings"…calling countries "toilets"… "religious shit heads"…This is all violence reflected in your language. I see no respect in your language—even if you disagree with or have strong feelings about a person or situation. You, meatlock, are that "average citizen" you speak of who seems to be awash in violence—in your mind, sir, reflected in your comments. But you wouldn't be alone in this. It's the master/slave mentality that's found a home in our heads—and until we become conscious of that, it's all too easy to "bash" someone when we don't agree with them.
I still say you should stop hiding behind your moniker "meatlock", come down to the Buck Tavern, and you might find you have more in common with us than you think. Wouldn't that be nice?
FUCK FB, just breathed on the wrong button and 'lost' half a response, to the relief of many I'm sure. Tough. Attempting to recapture the feeling.
I'm sure I'm about to insert my foot so far down my oral orifice that my little toe will displace some of my hemorrhoids. Que sera.
I'm probably gonna be slammed by friend and foe alike. Que sera.
RIP STEVE, good job, he even predicted and commercialised the T-Party Clones !!
To give credit where it is due I do have to acknowlege that the RRE's (Radical Right-wing Extremists), who post here anonymously ad nauseam, make some very valid points. They are consumate masters at simplifying and dumbing down their 'message' in order to energise and appeal to the basest instincts of their constituency. A short term effective strategy, but one that ultimately, negatively impacts, or disimpacts, us all.
For decades the 'left' has been riven with 'isms'; internal conflicts; power struggles for 'status'; narrow agendas; division; vested self interest; etc. Most especially the co-option and sell-out of the majority of "Labor" organisations: locally SFLC is a prime example.
A perfect example in recent local history, is the ongoing struggle to combat Urban Renewal, whitewashing and displacement in BVHP. The majority of 'progressive' leaders and organisations have been noticeably MIA. 'We' had a brief shining hour when 33,000 SF voters signed a petition to request further discussion on this critical issue that will have an enormous impact on the future of our city. However Dennis Herrera, doing the bidding of the speculators and developers, fought all the way to State Superior Court to invalidate our certified votes. Not the kinda Mayor I want representing my/our/the people's interests.
This gentrification speculation has also already displaced many long time Mission residents/families/businesses, and is doing the same in the 'Loin and SOMA, and it's coming soon to a theatre of war near you. I am not disputing that these afore mentioned 'underserved' neighborhoods wouldn't benefit from a little revamping in certain areas; but 'underserved' is the key here.
BVHP is the template for the long term planning of the 'speculators'. Decades of deliberate designed neglect; redlining and denial of basic human services; criminal unequal access to basic human services; ineffective and co-opted political mis-representation.
EVERY single 'issue' that the left/progressive movement professes to care about is present in BVHP. Racism; Sexism; Homelessness; Health Care; Economic Subjugation; Police Oppression/over-reaction; Joblessness; blah, blah,blah.
Where were 'they' when we needed, and still do, them.
So yeah, kudos to the RRE's, you know how to play the game. Unfortunately most of your 'devotees' who still cling to the illusion that maybe 1 day they become 1 of the 1%, are in for a rude awakening. But by then it will be 2 late for all of us. The brutal reality is that deep inside in your brain His Master's Voice resonates:-

American Medical Response Ambulance Abuse of Power
While waiting for the Golden Gate Bus 101 on Oct. 6, 2011 around 7:15AM for over an hour (I was early) I was disturbed to notice that an American Medical Response Ambulance (6L93302, 15301, 6W96937 Explore Bus) was parked the entire time of my wait in a nearby loading zone, not for any medical emergency but simply to have breakfast at Philz Coffee.

Yellow zones are for active freight loading and unloading only by commercial vehicles. Yellow zones are not intended for long-term parking of vehicles with commercial license plates. The effective times of yellow zones vary and are indicated by signs on the meter and/or by stencils on the curb. Non-commercial vehicles (those without a commercial license plate) parked in a yellow zone will be cited and can be towed if the sign specifies it is a tow zone. Six-Wheel Truck Loading Zones are indicated by signs only. When signed for six wheels or more, such trucks can use the zone. Six wheel loading zones can typically be distinguished by their red-capped meters in metered areas. There is no fee for establishing yellow zones.
