|OUE Ladies Win Two
|Written by Staff
|Wednesday, December 26, 2012 3:08 PM
The Lady Panthers made the four hour trip cross state a memorable one as they pounced on OSU Lima to the tune of 100-69. OUE jumped out to a hot start behind the impressive play of All-Conference point guard Alex Kuhn. The leading scorer in the ORCC eclipsed her 21.5 scoring average early on as she nailed five bonus bombs and finished with 25 first half points as the Lady Panthers sprinted out to a 50-30 halftime lead.
The Monroe Central grad continued her hot play in the second half and finished with a career high of 36 points to go along with 8 assists and 6 boards. Backcourt mate Kelsey Holloway also had a fine game. The former Shadyside great hit for 24 points, 6 rebounds and 5 steals. Beallsville product Julie Bilyeu patrolled the lane for 17 points and 12 rebounds. Monroe Central's Casey Digity came off the bench with 11 points and Shadyside's Sarah Neavin added 10 points and 6 boards.

[Editor's Note: The question that has been proposed multiple times by the fanbase. Nice little fanpost.]
Recently a lot of people on here have been talking about Sebastien Le Toux, about how bad his touch is and how he just does not look the same as last year - especially after last night's game. I have tried to defend Nowak's decision on sending Le Toux out there for most of the season to some of my friends, but it has become a little more difficult lately.
We all know he is working the hardest out of everyone out there, so all of this is not for lack of effort. He just does not look the same as he did last year. Early on I attributed it a little to having a new player in Carlos Ruiz beside him, as well as him coming off an injury. I even went a little farther to throw some blame at Ruiz for not making good runs to create some open space for Le Toux. In the Toronto game, that looked to be true when Danny Mwanga started with him, but then last game it all seemed to unravel again.
Last night I saw Le Toux push the ball away from his body to the point that he could not reach it before a defender closed in on him. In particular, the great pass he received from Jack McInerney that he pushed so far away that Matt Pickens beat him to the ball. He easily could have made it much more difficult for the keeper then it ended up being.
I have seen that happen much more often over the course of this season and I just want to know how all of you feel about the next game.
Should Le Toux start? Should he sit in favor of McInerney and Mwanga for a younger fresh look, should we wait for Ruiz to return? Or should we just give him one more game before we decide?
I voted for at least one more game. He looked good against Toronto FC except for the horrible giveaway that ended up being a goal. Then again that was Toronto and everybody looked good, but I still think one more game is enough before you decide to bench him for a game even if it is to just cool him off. He is not a bad player, but maybe a little change will be needed just to get him thinking.
This also made me ask another question, because Le Toux did so good in Toronto with Mwanga up front, but against the Colorado Rapids he had McInerney. Was it a coincidence that we scored as soon as Mwanga jumped onto the pitch? Does Mwanga help make Le Toux a better player? It's all for you to decide. Personally, I feel that could be true, but the sample size is far too small for this season to determine that question.
If you could give a reason for why you chose your answer it will be helpful. I just want to get a sense on how everybody is feeling so far this year with him up top.

Reviews for Curried Chicken Triangles
Sort By :
I make these every year for christmas eve, and they always go quickly. I just seperate the dough into the triangles and place a heaping spoonful of the mixture onto each and then bake.
I have not made this recipe, but it sounds very good. I don't understand all the confusion about the servings. The recipe, as I have it, says nothing about rectangles. It says to separate the crescent dough into triangles, and one tube makes eight. Cut each of the eight triangles into four triangles. Thus, one tube makes 32.
I changed the presentation to squares that you put in a mini muffin pan. I doubled everything but the onion and water chestnuts. Take one of the four triangles and cut it into 6 squares, place in greased mini muffin pan and bake 15-17 minutes. Makes 48
I found this recipe on another website. The directions are as follows:
Separate crescent dough; cut each piece into four triangles. Place on greased baking sheets. In a bowl, break up chicken. Add the water chestnuts, cheese, onions, mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder and garlic salt; mix well. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto triangles. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Serve warm.
I just received the Tast of Home Bonus Book with my latest Taste of Home mag. and found this recipe. I want to try it for N.Y.Eve but I still don't get it. Why are they not revising this online for people/customers? VLW

I had one body of crab meat and 5 shrimp leftover from dining out two nights. I made this as written except added a bit of celery and the crab meat. It was a nice light satisfying dinner after eating out three nights in a row- my birthday and twice with my relatives from out of town.

Artefacts & Fictions: #4 - My First Lap Top
I bought this Apple PowerBook 150 secondhand around 1996. It wasn't strictly my first lap top. That distinction goes to a cheapo word processor (I think it was a Brother) that I owned a few years earlier. I used to take it to the answering service where I worked the graveyard shift. I would write when the calls died down, around 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. It was a fun little machine.
But this beauty made me feel like I was actually part of the information age. It was the first machine on which I could send and receive email and surf the Internet. Well, maybe more like crawl the Internet, considering the low bandwidth. I could barely load a page of text, let alone anything with graphics.
I still love the look of it: the grey plastic casing, the clunky thickness of it and that wacky trackball mouse that caused the cursor to pinball across the milky blue screen. It reminds me of the computer version of one of those old Underwoods that Ring Lardner might have used.
The beginning of the end came when a corner of the screen turned an ominous yellow (some kind of pixel malfunction) that was eventually going to spread. Before that happened ,Thelma and I bought a Bondi Blue iMac, which was our first joint-purchase as a couple (awww).
Still, the sight of this PowerBook reminds me of sitting in my small Vaughan Street apartment, tapping out poems, song lyrics, a postcard story that eventually received an Honourable Mention in a Short Grain Contest (my second publication) and the rough genesis of a novel.
Depending on what kind of day it is ,I'm either amused or bemused by how much and how little has changed since then.
Artefacts & Fictions: #3 - Opera Calendar from Pisa
This is a calendar I bought in 2003 at the Galileo Airport in Pisa. Thelma and I had spent a week in Florence (with my sister and her then-boyfriend) and were on our way back to England. My main reason for buying the calendar was to use up the euros I had in my pocket. I can't remember how much it cost, except to say it cost exactly what I had left.
The calendar is made of two pieces of cardboard bound at the corners by metal clips. Between the cardboard are wheels with numbers, one with the days of the week and another with months, all in Italian. The cover, as you can see, is a reproduction of a poster for a production of Otello, complete with a portrait of Verdi and photos of the theatre where it was being performed. At this point I have to apologize for the blurriness. I am still trying to master the intricacies of laptop photography.
When I first hung the calendar in my office at home, I religiously made sure that the right date, day and month were showing. Perhaps "superstitiously" is a better adjective, since part of me felt that something might go amiss if the calendar was not set correctly every day. I'm not sure exactly what I thought might go wrong. Maybe I was afraid that if I left it alone I would go through some kind of Groundhog Day scenario where I was forced to relive the same day over and over. Or maybe I just believed that it was a small ritual to start the day off right.
Whatever it was, gradually over the years I have become more lax in changing the calendar, although I haven't given up on it entirely. I may let a day or two (sometimes more) pass before I eventually set the thing right. I'm not exactly sure what that says about my state of mind over the past seven years, except maybe that I've grown lazier (not exactly front page news).
But what has stayed with me is what attracted me to the calendar in the first place. Unlike other calendars around the house, this one shows no yesterday or tomorrow, only today. One can't map out an agenda with it or plan for the future. One can only be reminded of today (if I've done my job and remembered to set the thing) and the value of staying in the present moment.
Artefacts & Fictions: #2 - Monoprint Made By My Uncle
My uncle, Leonard Fligel, is a retired art teacher in Glasgow, Scotland. This a monoprint he made using ink and paint. As far as I know, the work has no title and depicts two men and a woman.
I have never discussed with my uncle what is going on in the picture, but on first view it seems that the man and woman are possibly supporting the woman in the hat, who seems to be in some kind of distress. Or maybe the woman on the right is protecting the woman in the hat from being molested by the man. This initial interpretation is at odds with the fact that the woman on the right seems to be copping a feel. The man looks like he is also trying to cop a feel, but is being blocked by the hat woman's elbow. The man's raised hand suggests that all this might be taking place on a bus or a subway, although nothing in the background supports this. Maybe he is raising his hand to push away or strike the woman on the right. I suppose a third possibility is that the man and the woman are ganging up on the poor woman in the hat. A public mugging? A wild orgy? A mutual support group? Ahh, the mysteries of art.
The importance of this painting to me solely lies in the fact that it was created by my uncle. He took his first art classes at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, where he was taught by Arthur Lismer, who was a member of the Group of Seven. As a young man my uncle travelled to the arctic and later studied in Florence. He settled down in Glasgow in the early 1960s, where he taught young artists to be teachers.
Early on, my uncle established himself as the black sheep of his family by opting for a career in art. In turn, he inspired my sister, Rena, to appreciate art, to travel and to have an independent spirit. She, then, went on to instil that same independent spirit in me. I always considered the three of us to be directly connected by this black sheep sub-lineage within my family. Leonard's own children (who call him Lenny or Len, his full name only being used by my sister and myself, possibly in reference to his artistic inspiration on us, Leonard being only one letter away from "Leonardo") are all artistic and involved in painting, sculpting, writing and music. I stay in touch with them and am proud to have this group of artistic Scots in my family.
Naturally, I place a certain amount of my own artistic identity squarely on Leonard's shoulders. We share some similar tastes: the music of Kurt Weill, in particular, and a general tendency toward dark themes. He was generous and effusive in his praise when my book of short stories came out. Recently he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and I have heard reports of changes in his personality that seem to support this diagnosis. That he is steadfastly in denial about his condition is not surprising. I sometimes look at this monoprint and consider the vagaries that life can subject one to, much in the same that a work of art changes the more one looks at it.
I am supposed to travel to the UK this spring to visit my sister (she lives in Suffolk). Most likely we will travel to Scotland to see our uncle and cousins. I have to admit that I'm worried about witnessing any of the changes in his personality. All the same, if the opportunity presents itself, I may just ask him about this picture and what is going on with those three people. But I don't necessarily expect a straightforward answer. After all, why should art be any less mysterious than life?
Artefacts & Fictions: #1- Rejection Letter From bpNicol
This is the first of a new series of posts called Artefacts & Fictions, which will deal with certain objects from my life and what they mean to me. The title is in reference to my belief that factual events in our lives contribute to the invention of personal identity.
Today's item is the very first rejection letter I ever got. In 1983, I sent out a group of poems to the now-defunct Poetry Toronto, which was then being edited by bpNicol, a seminal force in Canadian poetry. Here is a transcript:
Dear Steven Mayoff
I love "Glasgow." I think it is a strong, evocative piece of writing. If I was still doing Ganglia I'd publish it. The problem is it's prose and this is Poetry Toronto. Still I hung onto it thinking well if there's a slow month I'll sip it in anyway. Here it is my last month of editing & the pace hasn't slowed. So, regretfully, I return it to you.
None of the poems grabbed me as much but "Glasgow" sure did. Good luck placing it somewhere else.
The Glasgow he was referring to was, in fact, my first attempt at writing a short story. It started off as a memoir about a brief period of my childhood, spent in Glasgow, Scotland. In the process of writing it, I realized I could not remember certain aspects of my life then, so I naturally began to make it up as I went along. I had recently read Coming Through Slaughter by Michael Ondaatje. His writing style consisted of broken sentences that reminded me of broken lines of verse rendered into prose. It baffled and fascinated me so much that it was only natural I use it as a model for my inaugural attempt at fiction. What resulted seemed so remote from a short story that I sheepishly hedged my bets and decided to pass it off as a prose poem.
The first rejection letter is as much a milestone for a writer as the first acceptance (Glasgow was later published in the Malahat Review, my first professional publication for which I was paid a whopping $25). Of course this is more evident in retrospect after one has received numerous rejection slips. The fact that my first rejection was from a well-known Canadian writer who took the time to comment favourably on my work (in a hand-written letter yet!) pretty much spoiled me for everything that was to come later. But it was an apt and welcoming introduction into a world where the appetite for acceptance is whetted by constant rejection. I came to believe that the endless parade of rejection slips were merely a test to ascertain how serious my resolve was to be a writer. It's a rite of passage that never quite passes and at some point each "no" carries a secret nod that says: welcome to the club.

Boyz hope to match intensity the of USA
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jamaica's USA-based players have predicted a highly competitive game and an electrifying atmosphere inside the 24,000-capacity Columbus Crew Stadium here tonight.
The Reggae Boyz, with their tails in the air after a historic 2-1 win over the USA in their top-of-the-table clash in Group A of the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying in Kingston on Friday, are bracing themselves for an American bombardment.
But while the threat is real, the Jamaicans, especially those familiar with the battle ground located in this Midwestern US city, are oozing confidence that a back-to-back spanking of the hosts is not such a far-fetched idea as some may think.
"The crowd in Jamaica helped a lot in the performance, but definitely we can do the same thing here. We know what to expect from them, even as they are known as the kingpins of CONCACAF, but we will be ready," said a beaming Dane Richards who plies his trade for the Vancouver Whitecaps in US Major League Soccer.
He said he expects little change in the approach of the Americans, but was not ignoring their most important 12th man, the fans.
"The atmosphere will be all US, but we have to just go there and play like we did at the National Stadium," said the former New York Red Bull star.
Lovel Palmer of the Portland Timbers said, "It's going to be a crazy atmosphere. Columbus Crew has a big fan base and they're just going to come out and support their national team.
"The American Outlaws are going to be out in their numbers and you saw some of them in Jamaica," said the former Harbour View man who has paraded his stuff at 'Crew Stadium' against the home team, Columbus Crew.
With temperatures expected to dip into the low 50 degrees Farenheit, Palmer says that will hardly bother him and his teammates in the high-stakes match-up.
"We have a lot of guys from Jamaica playing overseas so we're accustomed to the cold weather and the loud fans... we're not intimidated and the performance will be just as good as it was in Jamaica, or even better," he told the Jamaica Observer at the Hyatt Regency Columbus hotel, the team's base.
Omar Cummings, a striker with Colorado Rapids, says a quality playing surface and "hostile environment" will be an interesting mix as Jamaica face a dangerous foe on home turf.
"I expect the fans to be rowdy and the players to come out playing hard, especially in the first 15 or 20 minutes," is how the former Rivoli United man views it all.
Vancouver Whitecaps' Darren Mattocks, who's tipped to win the coveted MLS Rookie of the Year title, thinks his team has a huge task at hand, but is unfazed by the challenge.
"We know the job at hand is a very huge one, especially that it's an away game, but we just have to stay focused and do what we did in Kingston.
"I think it was a mental block why we haven't been able to beat the US until now... but the jinx is finally broken... and we know that they can be beaten, so it's no longer a question whether or not we can beat them.
"I think also it will be an even game even though it's in their home court and the fact that we got three points in Jamaica will put a doubt in their mind," he concluded.
Jermaine Taylor, the regular captain of the team and a Houston Dynamo standout, says while he believes Jamaica will do well, the USA may have a trick or two up their sleeves.
"I think they (USA) will be trying to do something different from what they did in Kingston... They are expecting cold weather and that's why they brought us here.
"But whatever the weather condition, we are going to have a good game... they will keep coming at us and the more they do that, it's the more they will be exposed," argued the former Harbour View defender.
Another regular, Ryan Johnson who represents Toronto FC, said it will be "a close intimate atmosphere because the fans are close to the field".
Though the Kingston rendition is ranked a solid and efficient one, Johnson is of the view that more is in the tank and the USA have cause to be wary.
"I think we can better it (Kingston performance) because it will be a better surface... so while they will be looking to get three points on their home soil, it's for us to match their intensity and hopefully, we can come out with three points," he said.

College graduates are moving home, the place they would least like to be. The reason-it's the economy, stupid! Dylan Suher, a recent college graduate defines his moving home as a failure. "The feeling that the natural order of life-that you become an adult and then you leave home-has been disrupted." (New York Times, July 17, 2011, SR, p. 7). But college students are not alone. We live with internal clocks of what is appropriate to do at each age. The late psychologist Bernice Neugarten labeled this your "social clock." We have all heard people say, "I'm too old to still live at home; I am too old to go back to school; I am too old to get divorced; my biological clock is ticking."
Each culture has different sets of timetables for events. Formerly, we predicted when certain transitions would occur: when leave home, marry, have babies, retire, etc. Life no longer follows this linear plan. We live with conflicting realities. It is wonderful that our lives do not follow a rigid plan; however, it is confusing that our lives and futures are not predictable. For example, our expectations about the appropriate time to start a family have clearly changed.The PEW report claimed, "The demography of motherhood in the United States has shifted strikingly in the past two decades. Compared with mothers of newborns in 1990, today's mothers of newborns are older and better educated."

[Contribution to the Reimagining Society Project hosted by ZCommunications]
Globally, the left has some common problems. It would be a partial view if we believe that the left scenario in any country is largely driven by its internal dynamics. In the age of global media and instant communication, the politics of the world is intertwined in different ways. A victory for the Right in Europe, an advance for the left in Latin America and the rise of fundamentalist forces in different parts of the world, all have an impact on each country and the left forces there.
The decline of the left forces in the world can individually be attributed to the specifics of that country. Many of them win a few local or regional elections and then decline after some time. No doubt, the proximate causes of their decline can be identified with the specificities of their national situation. However, what we need to look at is the bigger picture. Is what is happening exclusive to these countries or are there similar trends elsewhere? If the left is not strong enough to create a revolutionary situation, what happens if it wins regional and municipal elections? What is the path of development that countries would need to follow which is significantly different from the neo-liberal agenda that still dominates the world? What is the left vision of a new socialist state, different from the one that failed in Soviet Union and that seems to be failing in China?
I will briefly discuss the context within which we have to look at these issues and then examine in little more details the changes in the sphere of production that distinguishes the 20th century from the 21st. I will then try and locate the debate on the new socialist vision in terms of these changes and how today's options differ from that available in early 20th century Soviet Union. Finally, this socialist vision should not only be a template for a new socialist society but also provide a trajectory for left movement in different countries.
The Context of the Left Movement Today
Obviously, the decline of socialist countries, their disintegration in Russia and Eastern Europe, the market driven "socialism" in China have had a traumatic effect on the left movement across the globe. If we look at the post World War II scenario, socialism was advancing rapidly and the major imperialist powers — except the US — were in decline. Liberation struggles backed by the socialist camp were spreading across Asia and Africa. Today, not only has the socialist camp disintegrated, we have a resurgent imperialism, which under the guise of globalisation, is subjugating the economies of the Third World.
A number of people argue that the socialist forces deviated from a "correct" socialist path soon after the October revolution and there was no socialist project worth the name after that. For them, the trauma is not of recent origin but dates back much further. The socialist states were not – in this view – "distortions of socialism" but were states run by bureaucratic capital or state capital.
The problem with this view is that it is very "Western" in its location. The reality is that the even with all its problems, the Soviet Union provided a huge impetus to the national liberation struggles in the colonies. It did this in two ways – one is the direct support it provided to forces of national liberation. The second is providing an alternative post-independence model to the colonised nations: securing independence for the entire people and not just for their bourgeoisie. It was the socialist model as well the evidence of Soviet Union that under socialism, an underdeveloped economy can emerge quickly as a relatively developed one that inspired many of the national liberation struggles. Since the world was largely under colonial yoke, the role of a socialist Soviet Union has to be understood in this context. Even today, the fall of Soviet Union has had an enormous negative impact on the ability of third world countries to chart a relatively independent course.
In most countries in the world, the left has weakened considerably. From the powerful force that the Communist Parties (CP's) were in many countries, they have become pale shadows of themselves. The non-CP left formations had believed that with the disintegration of the socialist camp, the Communist parties would also disintegrate, leaving the left space open for them. This has not happened and if we look at the left space today, for example in Europe, the decline of the CP's has not lead to the emergence of new left formations to take their place.
The Latin American scenario is probably the most interesting from a global left perspective. Latin America was the first to fall under the neo-liberal sway. Pinochet's Chile was the laboratory where its tools were first forged. Not surprisingly, it has been the first to emerge from the neo-liberal thrall – Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentina – amongst others have seen major advances for the left.
In Asia, while the CP's survived in many countries along with other left parties, the major CP's outside the socialist countries that have still remained as important force in their countries are Nepal, India, Philippines and Japan. In other countries, the left remains splintered and fragmented wielding relatively less influence. In Palestine, the left could be a significant force, if the PFLP, PPP and DFLP come together in a united platform.
Africa, except for South Africa, Angola and Mozambique again remains a place where there are left forces but not organised left parties.
Though the left forces world over is seen to be weaker than they were post World War II, it must be seen that the left in numbers today are still significant. The anti War struggle before the Iraq invasion saw huge numbers march in countries where we might think the left is insignificant. They marched under the leadership of the old left of various hues, but nevertheless clearly identifiable as left. What is missing there today is the ability to translate these numbers into sustained political interventions, and this is primarily due to the weakening of organised political parties in the left spectrum. It is this inability to transform its numbers into political intervention that brings out the importance of organised political formations – namely the left parties.
State/Regional and Municipal Governments and the Left Movement
While struggles in all spheres, is the obvious route any organised left party will take for its growth, it will still have to address the vital question of how to capture state power. Does it stay out of electoral politics and wait for a revolutionary national (or global) situation or does it also regard elections as an arena of struggle? If it does, given the uneven development that is inevitable in the world, what happens if it wins such elections?
There are a number of places that the left forces had gained control of provincial or state governments. In most of these, after a period, the left forces were unable to continue their hegemony and lost to other forces. Most of these Governments had a number of innovative measures to their credit but somewhere a strategic understanding of the role of these state governments in building a larger left movement is missing and a more defensive mindset of how to continue in power became the de facto sine qua non of their practice.
In India, the land reforms in Bengal and the Peoples Plan in Kerala are two important examples of what the left has done which is completely different from other political parties. The recent reverses in both these states show that it is not possible to continue the current course indefinitely. In Brazil's Rio Grande de Sul province and Porte Alegre, the town municipality, again participative peoples' planning was amongst the innovations that the left introduced. However, here also the left lost in Rio Grande de Sul as well as in Porte Alegre.
The key issue here is how do we see those organs of state power, winning of which do not give the left a means to make a decisive shift and yet give a salience within the bourgeois state. When the left came into what were called United Front (UF) Governments in 1967 and 1969 in Bengal, they were still a minority within the UF. The UF Government was seen as an instrument of struggle. The Left within the UF was able to advance land struggles significantly in this period. It was the sharpening of the land struggles that saw the split within the UF and though the UF Governments fell. as a result the left forces and the mass movements really grew through this process.
After the 1977 victory, the left in Bengal faced a new scenario. They now had a dominant position within the state Government and could craft its policies within the context of the centre state relations in the country. It was no longer possible to confine the Government role of being an instrument of struggle but also use it to provide relief to the people. The land reforms and land distribution became the focal point of its immediate program and this is what built for the left in Bengal long-term support base. Its continuing electoral success was in a large measure due to the land reforms.
The question that the left faced and will face is that providing relief to the people cannot be a long-term task. It works if it is seen as a transitory phenomenon. With the stagnation of the left movement outside Bengal and Kerala, the problem then is what does the left do in such states? Does it then see its agenda as one of providing some relief to the people as well as running a bourgeois government -a kind of capitalism with a human face — or does it start thinking about an alternate vision of development, which it tries then to implement? The left did not squarely address this issue and instead, the left agenda became a kind of ad hoc reaction of providing relief within the measures that the central government was proposing. As the centre shifted more and more to the right and public investments dried up, it meant that even the left the state governments, in order to industrialise, joined the race to provide more and more incentives to private capital to invest in their states.
The crafting an alternate vision of development within which the regional/provincial governments can play some role is not an easy task. The easy ideological road that some of the anti-globalisation forces take is the neo-Gandhian one of remaining a agrarian, subsistence economy — only small agro industries eschewing big industrial plants. In this version of the anti-capitalist view, the village economy should be the basic economic unit, transformed only by infusion of micro technologies and made self-sustaining. Here localisation is the oppositional ideology to imperialist globalisation and a self-reliant village economy is the goal.
Any serious examination of this will show that this cannot address the problems of the people – we would also need urbanisation and industries – if we were to meet the needs of the people. The question that we need to pose is whether there is an alternate path of industrialisation instead of an alternate to industrialisation and what can the left in the state governments do to push such a path?
This is not only a challenge to the Indian left but also a global challenge. It is not only about what to do within the boundaries of capital today but also about the socialist vision of the future. The socialist economy cannot arise de novo from a capitalist one – its genesis and its forms must lie within the existing capitalist forms. If we are able to create this blue print of a socialist economy, then the task of the placing the regional governments at the centre of this struggle for an alternate trajectory can become meaningful. If not, then the left in state governments will run out of steam once the relief agenda finishes. If the major task of the left is to help capitalist industrialisation, the bickering and the self-serving nature of a section within the left then becomes a natural consequence.
The left in regional and other local governments in India and elsewhere, if they have to go beyond providing some relief to the people, must therefore address the local governments role within the context of this new socialist vision. This is not to argue for a kind of incremental view of reforming the capitalist system. It is creating hegemony of this socialist vision over the capitalist one – the predatory and neo-liberal globalisation that underlies today's capitalist vision. The political struggle for socialism needs the instrument of regional/local governments to propagate this alternate vision of development and organisation of production.
Obsolescence of Economies of Scale and its Implications for the Socialist Mode of Production
The debate within the left has touched on many aspects of the failure of the socialist states. To many, it was a failure of the political formation that lead to the failure of the socialist states. To others, it was their economies, which failed to stand up to competition from the more technologically advanced capitalist countries. This article is not about the why the socialist states failed. What I am raising is can we attract people to the left without addressing the question of what kind of socialism do we want to build: whether we will build a new form of socialism or will we recreate the old one? Without addressing this central question, we are unlikely to go forward.
The central challenge confronting the left is to create a new vision of socialism that is distinct from the old one. This is not to argue that the old socialist vision was wrong. It was limited – as all visions are — by its time and its place. The time was the early twentieth century when technology was largely in the Fordian
paradigm of economies of scale. The place was Soviet Union, large parts of which were emerging from feudal autocracy. To create a socialist vision with the technology fix of early twentieth century is to miss the enormous possibilities of a decentralisation and flexible forms of production today. This is what global capital seeks to exploit, as it turns away from more productive forms of capital. If we look at production, the possibilities today of de-scaling technology and therefore creating a de-centralised model of production are immense.
This is not to argue that all production should or could be de-centralised and de-scaled. All that I am pointing out is that industrialisation based on huge, vertically integrated factories are no longer valid across a class of commodities. It may still be required in some specific sectors such as steel plants, but not in all.
The production systems today are changing rapidly from mass production of goods to mass customisation of goods. Mass production, starting with the industrial revolution to the Fordian paradigm, brought down cost while providing high quality. It achieved this using standardisation of components and goods, economies of scale and quality control. However, it produced rigid centralised production structures, large plants and eliminated lower level initiative and control over production. It also eliminated diversity of the product. As Henry Ford was reported to have said, "You can have any colour of car as long as it's black". The end user was willing to sacrifice variety for quality and low cost.
The socialist system of production not only modelled the Fordian form of production, but also took it to the next level. In this, the entire economy was treated as one unit of production and the system as a whole optimised. While this had an obvious impact in reducing costs and making the economy more efficient, it also created the problem that any change in this system became difficult to introduce. It became a The changed technology regime today
, permits an alternate way of production, which maintains quality as well as produces goods at low costs. This is the direction we are moving today in manufacturing systems. The production process is being de-scaled and becoming more flexible. This also allows for a much greater diversity of products – we enter what is called the era of mass customisation – people can ask for

Anti-Mayfield Ice Cream Ad, Financed by Outside PAC, Stirs Flap
A new independent expenditure ad in the 3rd Congressional District race says Scottie Mayfield is "good at ice cream, not so good on the issues."
Mayfield campaign consultant Tommy Hopper, a former state Republican chairman, tells Chris Carroll that he thinks the ad sponsors got that line from Chip Saltsman, another former state GOP chief who is running the Chuck Fleischman campaign.
Coordination between the PAC running the ad and the Fleischmann campaign, of course, would violate federal campaign laws. Hopper suspects that's what happened. Saltsman says not so.
"We simply do not believe that an out-of-state PAC with no known ties to Tennessee has any interest in our primary unless led here by one of our opponents," Hopper said.
...Bankrolled by the Beaufort, S.C.-based Citizens for a Working America, the $165,000 ad campaign is the second time an independent, out-of-state political committee has spent money on the 3rd District primary.
Airing in Chattanooga and Knoxville broadcast markets, the anti-Mayfield ad includes an instrumental version of "Pop Goes the Weasel" and melting vanilla ice cream -- direct hits on the dairy executive's intelligence and political savvy.
"Scottie Mayfield: Good at ice cream, not so good on the issues," the ad's narrator concludes.
Mayfield's advisers said recent remarks offered by Fleischmann chief of staff Chip Saltsman shed doubt on the campaign's denials.
According to audio obtained by the Chattanooga Times Free Press, Saltsman, speaking for Fleischmann at a rally last week in Campbell County, said, "good ice cream, bad politics" in a rhetorical swipe against Mayfield.
"Chip's comments are oddly similar to the overall theme of the ad," Hopper said in an email, "and it's a fact that the Fleischmann campaign plays fast and loose with the law and the facts."
Saltsman laughed when greeted with Hopper's allegation, adding that he has no ties to Citizens for a Working America.
"Don't know them. But I've heard that comment about Mayfield having good milk or ice cream and bad politics or issues 100 times," he said. "It's something a lot of people say. A lot of people talk about it."
The other independent expenditure came from the American Conservative Union, a Washington, D.C.-based organization that spent at least $30,000 on a July radio buy in support of Fleischmann.
Records show OnMessage Inc., an ad agency in Virginia, produced both ads.
Saltsman and OnMessage Inc. co-founder Brad Todd are Facebook friends, but the connections go beyond that. Saltsman was elected Tennessee Republican Party chairman in 1998, and Todd was the state party's executive director in 1997-98, according to his LinkedIn page.
Todd did not return phone calls, but Saltsman said the two briefly worked together.
"He was at the party when I was elected, but I replaced him," Saltsman said. Saltsman denied coordination and said he hasn't spoken with Todd "since last winter."
Paul S. Ryan, senior counsel at the Campaign Legal Center in Washington, D.C., said it's difficult to prove "coordination" even though the Federal Election Commission has subpoena power over such matters.
...A $475,000 ad buy for Mitt Romney in December 2011 is the only other expenditure Citizens for a Working America has ever made, records show. As of Thursday, the organization was listed as based in Dayton, Ohio, but on Friday that was changed to Beaufort, S.C.
Despite requests from the Federal Election Commission to do so, Citizens for a Working America has not disclosed its donors. Norm Cummings, a Virginia-based Republican political consultant whose name is on the organization's filings, could not be reached for comment.

Bermuda is a small island nation with a low population. There is not much of gay scene though its proximity to the US means it gets a fair share of gay and lesbian visitors.
Homosexuality is legal following a vote by Bermuda's House of Assembly in 1994 to legalise sex between men over age 18. This measure was subsequently also passed by the Senate.
Dollar BM$
Bermuda has a mild subtropical climate, with no wet season so it is an all year destination. Probably the best time to visit is July to September though when the temperatures are highest. The Gulf Stream which flows between Bermuda and the North American continent keeps the climate temperate. A change of seasons comes during mid-November to mid-December and from late March to April. Either spring or summer weather may occur and visitors should be prepared for both. Showers may be heavy at times but occur mainly at night. Summer temperatures prevail from May to mid-November with the warmest weather in July August and September ranging between 20c and 30c. - this period is occasionally followed by high winds . Winter temperatures range between 15c and 20c.

State lawmakers have a lot on their plates in the state capitol Wednesday evening, and we're not talking about the budget.
They returned to Richmond for the annual "veto session" as work on the state's two-year spending plan sits at a standstill. McAuliffe vetoed just five bills passed by the legislature, and amended dozens of others. Wednesday, lawmakers reviewed them all, with one big elephant in the room: budget gridlock, with no end in sight.
From school prayer to ethics, lawmakers had their hands full Wednesday. House lawmakers voted 78 to 19 to override McAuliffe's veto of a bill allowing people to appeal red light camera citations to circuit courts. Supporters say it's an issue of due process, but opponents believe the measure could crowd circuit court dockets.
This clogs up inappropriately. I trust our judges in the district court level," said 39th District Delegate Vivian Watts (D).
Senate lawmakers did not reach the two-thirds needed to override the veto. Meanwhile, lawmakers did approve many of the governor's amendments, including technical changes to bipartisan ethics legislation and close to $1 million in new funding to fight child sex crimes.
"This is a program that's been proven to work, it's been proven to save lives," said 25th District Senator Creigh Deeds (D).
But with all the work that is getting done, there is some that isn't, as lawmakers continue to squabble over the state budget and health care expansion under the Affordable Care Act.
"We're ready to go. We've been ready to go," said 35th District Senator Dick Saslaw (D).
"The place to decide a public policy like that is not in a budget," said 76th District Delegate Chris Jones (R).
Both houses are stuck in a procedural tug-of-war, with neither willing to approve the other's budget proposal. And while lawmakers are eager for a deal as soon as possible, this isn't the first stalemate to stretch on.
"This is not unusual. I mean, in the Warner administration it was June, in the Kaine administration it was like the 28th of June," said 10th District Senator John Watkins (R).
This debate could very well stretch on that long. If nothing changes, and a budget isn't passed by the end of June, Virginia's government could shut down for the first time ever.
Lawmakers are now further away from a deal than they were a month and a half ago.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - A nurse, who was also the director of a local surgery center, has been accused of stealing drugs from the hospital.
On Monday, Valerie Whitehead was charged with stealing morphine, Fentanyl and other drugs from the Luther campus of the Mayo Clinic Health System Eau Claire. Whitehead was hired in May and was the director of the Surgery Center. A hospital spokeswoman says Whitehead is also a nurse and was immediately removed from patient care when Mayo learned about the allegations. The spokeswoman also says Whitehead no longer works for Mayo.
Police were notified last week when the thefts were discovered. They say Whitehead admitted taking and using the narcotics starting last month. She also allegedly confessed to stealing several hundred vials of Benadryl.
Whitehead has been charged with three felonies and three misdemeanors.
A Mayo spokeswoman says after a thorough review, they believe no patients were harmed by Whitehead's actions.
Statement from Mayo Clinic Health System
Maintaining patient safety and trust is a top priority within Mayo Clinic Health System. For that reason, we continuously monitor all systems and protocols that affect patient care, including the dispensing and administering of medication.
Recently, these systems identified a diversion of medication by a nurse in our organization. The nurse was immediately removed from patient care, and she is no longer employed by the organization.
We reported the incident to police immediately and are continuing to work with law enforcement. Reports also have been made to state and federal agencies. We will continue to work with the authorities as the investigation continues. After a thorough internal review, we believe no patients were harmed by Ms. Whitehead's actions.
The events that occurred are unfortunate and inconsistent with the mission, vision and values of our organization. Our internal monitoring protocols were effective in alerting our staff of this occurrence, and we will continue reviewing our processes to improve monitoring effectiveness and prevent future occurrences.

didn't work for me
I got this when I ordered the 3 step system. I have extremely oily skin and this didn't work at all for me. My skin was shiny as soon as I used this moisturiser and kept becoming shinier throughout the day. It probably kept my face moisturised but didn't make me look good at all.

Didnt do anything for me.
This product didn't do anything for me. I prefer the primer Proactiv makes. This left my skin just as oily throughout the day as any other day.
Rating: Jun 24, 2011 4:20pm
Perfect to use under make up.
I like this product by Proactiv because over the course of the day I tend to get oily skin which can shine through my make up but this cream stops that from being an issue and my skin stays matte all day. :)

Proactiv Solution Daily Oil Control
While I found that the 3 step system overall did nothing to clear my acne, and actually aggravated my skin, I remember loving this product. I applied it before leaving in the morning, and its just really light and moisturising. It didnt mattify or do anything to control oil in my opinion, but it was the perfect consistency. I wish somebody else would develop a moisturiser with this consistency!

My husband loves this product!!
My husband gets quite greasy skin by the end of each day. Using the Proactiv Daily Oil Control, it helps control the oil and reduces the amount of shine he has all day. He gets very worried when he nears the end of the tube and doesn't have a fresh new one waiting for him!

Not for oily skin
Though the product is called daily oil control and I used it sparingly, I still found my skin became very oily after using this product.

not a moisturiser
This product is not actually a moisturiser it is to be used to help absorb excess oil in your skin. it is ment to be used after cleansing your face and before the repairing lotion and moisturiser. if used in the correct order it does make a noticeable difference in your skin

Proactiv Solution Daily Oil Control
I found this product to be gentle on skin & easily absorbed, I can't say for sure if it keeps skin shine free all day as I also wore a mattifying powder over the moisturiser, I never noticed make up streaking or changing colour throughout the day whilst using this product which is a bonus, as far as acne treating products go I would recommend this over some of the cheaper products on the market that use harsh ingredients.

Governor Jim Gibbons (Nevada-R) is proposing an overhaul of Nevada's education system. Some of the proposals include:
-Eliminating laws dealing with collective bargaining between local government and school districts.
-Eliminating laws mandating class sizes and full-day kindergarten
-Creating empowerment school districts
-Eliminating the State Board of Education and replacing it with a 5-member advisory board. The governor would appoint three of the board's members.
The governor says the plan would save money and give more power to school districts and parents. The proposal drew mixed reactions. "What's bound to happen is children's education will suffer," said Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley (Clark County-D). "When you look in the proposals, what are the exact details? There are cuts!"
But, the conservative think-tank Nevada Policy Research Institute praises the plan. "What this proposal suggests is a governor who truly understands Nevada's education problems," said NPRI Vice President of Operations and Communications Andy Matthews. "If you really want to improve education in the state, there are a lot of good ideas in here." He believes throwing more money at education is not the answer.
But Buckley says cutting spending does not help either. "We're supposed to be an education-first state, and that doesn't mean you cut education funding first," she said. "That means you do everything you can to preserve it."
State Senator Joyce Woodhouse (Clark County-D) admits the state is facing a tough economic crisis and budget shortfall, but feels there are better solutions than the one proposed by the governor. "Constitutionally, we do have to balance the state's budget," she said. "(But), it's really important that we look for other places where cuts can be made." The governor's proposal requires passage by the Nevada Legislature. The Legislature meets again in 2011. But, the governor can call a special session before then.

Most people don't think twice about caring for houseplants, but have you ever considered growing edibles indoors? Better yet, how about growing delicious, organic produce?
Growing produce in your home not only provides you with healthy, affordable organics year-round, but if you have a child who's ready for a gardening experience, this is a great place to begin.
Here's how to get started growing:
1. Pick a place. You can grow a wide variety of herbs, vegetables, and even fruits in containers on windowsills, shelves, or tables. R.J. Ruppenthal, author of Fresh Food From Small Spaces: The Square-Inch Gardener's Guide to Year-Round Growing, Fermenting, and Sprouting, even has tips for using closets and empty bathtubs. Your only limitation is your imagination.
2. Start simple. Ensure immediate success by beginning with surefire winners like herbs, sprouts, and lettuce. Take a themed approach if you'd like by growing a pizza garden (basil, oregano, cherry tomatoes) or a salsa garden (cilantro, onion, tomatoes, peppers).
Certain varieties of vegetables and fruits fare best in containers. You can find a list of them and the right-size container for them at Garden Guides. Find seeds online or visit a local organic nursery or seed company. Check out the list of suppliers at GreenPeople.org.
3. Collect containers. Almost any type of container can be used to grow your plants: terra-cotta pots, ceramic pots, wooden window boxes, metal tubs, glass bowls, ice cream buckets – whatever you have on hand. Choose the appropriate size based on the recommendation for each seed. Some plants will have to start out in peat pots and be transplanted; some can go straight into the container.
Drainage holes aren't necessary if you don't overwater, but that's hard to tell unless you're an experienced gardener. So, better to use a container with holes (or make a few holes yourself using a drill or hammer and nails) and place a pan underneath to catch excess water.
4. Select the soil. Many commercial potting soils have synthetic additives. So, to truly grow organic, you need to look for the Organic Materials Review Institute's label: "OMRI Listed." This organization determines which products can be used within the national organic program.
5. Find a fertilizer. Again, to truly grow organic food, make sure you're using an OMRI-listed fertilizer. Some plants only need to be fertilized when you sow the seeds, but others demand more regular feeding. Read your seed package or talk to your local nursery to learn what's best for the varieties you've selected.
6. Look for light. Some plants need more light than others. Many will fare well in a sunny window, while others do better with the added boost of a grow light. Some species (like mushrooms) don't need light at all. Check out these organic mushroom indoor growing kits.
7. Prepare for pests. Growing indoors means far fewer potential pest problems, but you should still be ready to battle bugs (without toxic chemicals). For example, whiteflies and mealy bugs can be controlled with a yellow sticky trap or diluted rubbing alcohol (test your plant to make sure it won't get burned before doing a full treatment).
Whether you decide to grow leafy greens (such as lettuce, spinach, and endive), herbs (basil, thyme, and parsley), or produce (cherry tomatoes, dwarf beets, and blueberries), indoor organic gardening can save you money and protect your health. Also, it's fulfilling, fun, and the food is delicious.

Obey Wants a Deficit-Neutral Afghanistan War
Monday, November 23, 2009 at 12:02 pm
Speaking of the unclear cost of escalating the Afghanistan war, I see via David Dayen and Tim Fernholz that Rep. David Obey (D-Wis.), the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, wants to treat war spending like domestic spending:
Rep. David Obey (D-Wisc.), the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, warned that if President Barack Obama decides to send additional troops to Afghanistan, it should be funded with the new tax.
"If we have to pay for the healthcare bill, we should pay for the war as well," Obey told ABC News in an interview, "by having a war surtax."
Obey said his proposed tax would be a "graduated" tax on income that would help offset the roughly $40 billion in new costs needed to send 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan, a cost estimated by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Peter Orszag.
Previously, Obey had expressed his concerns over war financing as more of a pointed question. But Tim talked to his spokesman and it appears to be a rather robust proposal:
Essentially, below the $150,000 level, the 15 percent bracket for a family, there would be an increase of one percent of your current level, so for most people that would be 15.15 percent. Separate changes would happen between the $150-$250,000 income level and above $250,000, which would be set by the president depending on his eventual decision on what to do in Afghanistan; currently, the war costs about $68 billion a year, but that could increase if the White House decides to send more troops or spend more money on development projects.
Tim writes that it will be hard for Obey's inevitable critics "to argue against this bill in good faith." Just wait!
