Bringing California back
WASHINGTON -- The state governor who once was America's youngest showed up at the National Governors Association meeting here this week as its oldest. Jerry Brown, who first served at age 38 as California's chief executive (1976-83), returned at age 74 in the third year of his third term (2011-2015), arguably going stronger than ever.
After persuading the Golden State's voters to put an initiative on the state ballot for construction of the nation's first true high-speed rail line between Los Angeles and San Francisco, Brown got the initiative passed, and ground has already been broken for the $65 billion project over a 10- to 15-year period.
The undertaking is only the most dramatic of Brown's second tenure as governor, even as he is pushing an equally ambitious project of tunnels designed to bring Northern California's plentiful water supply to the naturally arid South. With his Democratic Party now in control of the state legislature, Brown has achieved a balanced budget, and with voter approval for new taxes, he said: "The California economy is coming back. The people are feeling better about the direction California is going in."
Meanwhile, he has made progress in dealing with the state's overcrowded prison population by transferring short-time offenders of many less serious crimes to local jails and using state money to pay for their upkeep.
A major fight in the next six months, Brown says, will be rallying public support to reallocate state funds in education to schools with disproportionate challenges. At the college level, he is focusing on keeping tuition low -- now $12,000 a year at the university level -- and also trying to reduce reliance on student loans that impose a heavy toll on young Californians. A 5 percent annual increase for the system over the next four years has been approved, without raising tuition.
He credits students across the state with a major role in mobilizing votes for the new tax initiative for education, and putting a public face on the campaign. "It became a public debate about investing in schools," he said, and the campaign not only got the initiative on the ballot but also carried it with 55.4 percent of the vote, overcoming GOP opposition.
To critics who suggest that a "star system" of faculty heavyweights exists in California universities, and that holding down tuition costs will create "a brain drain," Brown declared emphatically, "I don't believe that." At the same time, he noted, he insisted to the legislature that the students not be made the prime financiers of higher education.
In the heyday of Brown's father, Governor Edmund G. Brown Sr., California's university system was widely regarded the best of the states, and the whole state was a model for progressive thinking and action. His son, striving to restore that reputation, said: "We'll bring it back. California, I think, to the extent that we're successful, will have some (national) impact in a given period. ... And politically, we're going to have a model that other people will have pay attention to."
Just as President Obama has had to deal with obstructionist Republicans, Brown noted that the California GOP was so resistant that "moderate Republicans could not be seen coming to visit me." But the governor had the initiative tool that enabled him to go over the head of opposition legislators directly to the public on higher taxes and education reforms.
The resurrection of Jerry Brown's political career came after losing three bids for the Democratic presidential nomination and one U.S. Senate bid in 1982. Thereafter he was elected to two well-regarded terms as mayor of troubled Oakland and four years as state attorney general before regaining the governorship in 2010.
Sizing himself up after that long political journey, he remarked: "Both in government and politics, I've spent a lot of time thinking and reading about it. So therefore I feel more confident that when I'm pushing things, I'm pushing in the right direction. ... I realize I used to be one of the youngest (officials) in Sacramento. Now I'm the oldest."
Asked whether he will seek a fourth term next year, he said it's too early to say, and quoted the late Gov. Earl Warren: "You don't announce until the first snow falls in the Sierras."

Brahmans Within the Caste System
The caste system in India is viewed as a "closed system." Only new members are brought into the new caste by birth. Most groups are seen from the inside, as others cannot be a part and see the dynamics of it. Each caste group usually has two types of social groups inside of it. One, which forms incestuous, with nonmarriageable kinship group of relatives of both sides, and the other which is composed of individuals whom can marry each other (Khare 13).
It is known in India, that leadership positions in society are monopolized by a few dominant castes. The Brahmans or Brahmins (there are variations of the spelling) are the dominating, high caste in India. However there are varying "degrees" of Brahmans. Kanya-Kubja, Tamil, Tanjore, and and others of numerous villages are names of Brahmans. Separation of these Brahmans from others is one of several indications of social status. Picture Here Possession of material goods, social power or influence, and social skills, classify grouping (Khare 115). In modern India economic competition and education are predominate. Khare states, "among the Kanya-Kubja Brahmans the most significant indicator of class is their modern occupational status" (67).
A typical village is divided among individuals within the caste. For example it is first divided into Brahmins, Non-Brahmins, and AdiBrahmins. Second, into landowners, and agricultural laborers. Third, is into the lower hierarchy of the blacksmiths and into the lowest caste of the untouchables (Beteille 58). Thus, Brahmins were the landowners as well as the social elite. In today's time there are several Brahmins who do not own land and a small and increasing number of Non-Brahmins who do. The distribution of power has shifted from the Brahmins to the Non-Brahmins. As Beteille states, "this means that class and power positions are no longer tied to caste in the same way as they were in the past" (59). There is much evidence to show that Brahmins held material power at every level, at every period of Indian history. In most areas there are Brahmin dynasties, holding the dominate caste ideal.
Rules are guided by and determined by the Brahmin caste. For example, "one can rank the high castes in order on the basis of whether the Brahmin will accept water, fried food, or boiled food from them; and one can rank the low castes in descending order on the basis of whether their contact pollutes water" (Dumont 80). It's as though the Brahmins set the dietary eating habits for others. A Brahmin eats alone or in a small "pure" square. He must bathe, and his torso is bare. Usually an image of a deity is brought to the kitchen for offerings before eating can be started. If a Brahmin sees an impure woman, child, or person of a lower caste, food is then considered not edible (139). "Food, accordingly, continues to be the mainstay of daily orthodoxy and rituals" (Khare 103).
Brahmins cannot eat:
Tomatoes (are thought to be the seeds of a living element)
Marriage is considered to be the most important occasion for an elaborate array of the rules. It is also the most crucial achievement for having one's traditional position (Khare 104). The most stringent rules apply to marriage, but this aspect has slowly changed. There are marriages that are not strictly within a certain caste, but rather marriages out of one's caste. "The limits within which intermarriage, commensality and coresidence were formerly confined, have been extended, although they have not by any means disappeared" (Beteille 231). That is to say it is now common to marry into one's sub-caste, given the castes do not distant in traditions.
"A male could legally take any number of wives, but monogamy was the rule for women" (Beteille 30). The marriage of widows was unknown Picture to the first three tiers of Pg 105 the caste, but it is common among the lower castes. A woman is never recognized as having any independence because her father protects her in childhood and her husband protects her in marriage. Hinduism considers a son necessary for the spiritual well being of the family. "The son is light in the highest heaven" (Beteille 30). The adoption of a son is well recognized by Hinduism, for order and rule within the family.
"The distribution between pure and impure does not account for all the distinctions or segmentation of caste" (Dumont 45). The separation of the caste system is shown by the impurity of the Untouchables. The Untouchables may not use the same wells as the others, access of Hindu temples was forbidden until the Ghandi reform, and many other numerous disabilities (Dumont 47). In present time the Untouchability act has been established, but it cannot transform overnight. Other means of impurity are, hygiene, death, and the menstrual cycle. The Brahmins do not bury their own dead; instead persons of a lower caste do the work. In India the washerman takes care of bedding soiled by the events of birth and menstruation. In this case the washerman is a specialist in impurity. The only way to cleanse one's brush with impurity is to take a bath (48).
In 1962, education beyond the fifth grade level was entirely for the high to middle caste males. "The Brahmans alone, who comprised less than 10 percent of the village's population, accounted for one third of the student population" (Freeman 143). Between the 1950's and 1960's there was a rise in the educational knowledge of villages. Education is viewed as a long-term investment for a high paying job within the government system. In the 1960's and 1970's women of high castes were permitted to complete the fifth grade, until pressure from civil servants who wanted more highly educated wives forced reluctant parents to allow their daughters to continue in school (Freeman 149).

Enjoy the Conan part ... while you still can.
Leno is An Assho!!
I hope Conan ends up over on Fox at 11pm and kicks NBC's ASS!
I refuse to ever watch The Tonight Show again with Leno at the helm. What a Sphincter!
Now that was funny!!!!
Jay retire and hang out with your cars, enjoy the rest of your life stop working , you are getting to predictable on your show, do the road thing once in a while, when you get bored , get some kind of car show tv gig going, Team up with Bernie and Lepoo
I love Jay! I'm glad he is coming back! BYE BYE CRY BABY CONAN!
The only way to win this is to keep Conan and have Leno bow out. Conan will be popular then.
Conan's was hilarious! He is not far from the truth..
Jay sucks, but I am not blaming him. I'll not watch NBC anymore.
These two crybaby millionaires think they have problems? I suggest they tune in CNN to see what real problems look like and then make huge donations to the Red Cross. Both of these guys could quit working today and never want for another penny, they're so rich. Take em both off the air. They're not funny.
I love Leno..and can't wait till he's back...They should have never made him leave in the first place....Take youe 30 million Conan and go....
Lol Conan's piece was hilarious. I'm really gonna miss him if he doesn't go over to fox.
Ironically that's the funniest Conan has been in awhile. Loved the shootout.
Leno: NBC sucks, there giving me back the tonight show and getting rid of Conan as I schemed all along, blah blah blah aren't they terrible.
Sheesh what's wrong with you guys? uglygrandmasweaters . blogspot .com has nothing to do with Jay Leno ruining all of NBC comedy
At least we now know which of the two have been blowing Zucker all along.
Lets clear a few things up. In 2004 Conan signed a contract that bumped Jay Leno. Jay Leno did not want to leave. Conan bumped Jay. When Conan aired at 11:30 his show was good however he still comes across like a puppet with a seizure. He makes people nervous. His ratings were poor but what comes around goes around. Jay Leno show at 10 pm tanked. This did not help Conan ratings. To me Conan got fired but he fired the first shot.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Islanders left wing Matt Martin has been suspended by the NHL for two games for a blind-side check to the head of Phoenix forward Vernon Fiddler.
The league announced the penalty Monday. Martin is slated to sit out Wednesday against Tampa Bay and Thursday at New Jersey. He can return to the lineup Sunday when the Islanders host Montreal.
Martin was given a minor penalty for charging when he hit Fiddler in the first period Saturday.
Martin has two goals, no assists and 37 penalty minutes in 22 games this season. The suspension will cost him $6,792.12 in salary. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.

This island begs to be explored, and the game wants you to do that, thankfully. As you do, you'll meet the fantastical creatures that inhabit the island, which include Ara the forgetful owl and the sneaky Satyr. You can also obtain a butterfly net and chase butterflies and fireflies around in attempts to catch them.
Not all of the creatures are friendly, and some must be avoided. It's one of the few dangers present in the game, along with bad weather, which will spoil your gardening efforts if you don't take the right precautions.
That leads us on to the nature of Daina, who is a Herbarium, as the title reveals. She's at one with nature and growing plants, nurturing them. This is the core of the game, and it's a decidedly relaxing action. So when you're exploring the island, you'll also want to be looking out for things that will help towards your own garden. However, you might become sidetracked by the game's ultimate pursuit, and that is uncovering the mystery of the island.
Apparently, it seems that someone existed on the island before your grandfather, who discovered it deserted, and so it's traces of them that you seek. The developers offer a question that hints towards the direction the game's narrative may go: "How far will you go to save Daina and her people?"
I'm already dreaming of existing in this game world, if only virtually, due to the beauty that's on display. It feels very natural in how gorgeous it all looks, as opposed to the bright and exaggerated forms of exotic environments often present in games; it blends in with itself well so that nothing in particular stands out in order for it all to be enjoyed at once.
What makes you appreciate the artwork even more is knowing that every texture in the game was hand-painted with watercolors before being implemented into the game itself, hence why it's so compelling to look at.
I haven't just come across Daina: The Herbarium; in fact, I've been keeping an eye on it for over a year, and recently, there has been no new activity surrounding it, which had me fearing for its final release.
However, just the other day, it was put on Steam Greenlight, which makes it clear that it's still on the way. So go up-vote it and watch the gameplay below, but bear in mind this is from the beginning of 2012.

moreThe environmental movement has often been accused of being overly negative-trying to stop "pogress." The Nature of Design, on the other hand, is about starting things, specifically an ecological design revolution that changes how we provide food, shelter, energy, materials, and livelihood, and how we deal with waste. Ecological design is an emerging field that aims to recalibrate what humans do in the world according to how the world works as a biophysical system. Design in this sense is a large concept having to do as much with politics and ethics as with buildings and technology. The book begins by describing the scope of design, comparing it to the Enlightenment of the 18th century. Subsequent chapters describe barriers to a design revolution inherent in our misuse of language, the clockspeed of technological society, and shortsighted politics. Orr goes on to describe the critical role educational institutions might play in fostering design intelligence and what he calls "a higher order of heroism." Appropriately, the book ends on themes of charity, wilderness, and the rights of children.Astute yet broadly appealing, The Nature of Design combines theory, practicality, and a call to action. less

A second Republican voices support for Hagel to lead Pentagon
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senator Mike Johanns said on Saturday he would support fellow Nebraskan Chuck Hagel for secretary of defense, becoming the second Republican in the Senate to express public support for President Barack Obama's embattled nominee.
The Lincoln, Nebraska, JournalStar reported on its website that Johanns, a former Nebraska governor who holds Hagel's old Senate seat, issued a statement supporting Hagel. An aide to Johanns confirmed the report.
Johanns' backing increases the likelihood of Hagel's confirmation, despite bitter opposition by some Republicans and the former senator's cautious performance during a contentious confirmation hearing on Thursday before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Critics said Hagel performed poorly at times during his hearing, speaking hesitantly, seeming tired and often unprepared for some of the sharpest queries about his past controversial statements on Israel, Iran and U.S. nuclear strategy.
Hagel's nomination appears likely to clear its first hurdle - approval by the committee - with the support of all 14 Democrats on the 26-member panel and possibly some of its Republicans. The earliest that vote could come is Thursday.
Consideration by the full 100-member Senate would come later, likely within about a week of the committee vote.
Democrats control 55 seats in the Senate and none has come out publicly against Hagel.
Republican Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi had already said he would vote for Hagel's confirmation.
Hagel can be confirmed by a simple majority of 51 votes unless Republicans use a procedural hurdle that would require 60. Some Republicans have said they would not back such a measure even though they would not vote for Hagel.

Why is this blatant interference in US domestic politics by agents of a hostile foreign power tolerated? All the man did was to state what absolutely everyone who can read knows — yes, there is a Jewish lobby in the USA. It lobbies for the State of Israel and bears primary allegiance to it rather than to the USA. The primary one is known as AIPAC. Unless you pretend that this does not exist, and that its primary loyalty is not to the foreign country calling itself Israel, you are "weak"???
This sort of behavior is not in the interests of the USA or its citizens, including those active in AIPAC. Behavior has consequences, even for Israelis. Are there no intelligent Israelis who see this?

Email sent to all Senators of North Carolina Delegation on 16 Aug, 2014
NO Replies to date
Dear Senator …………..,
As the 113th Congress draws to a close, we are again faced with reaching an agreement to insure that some 30,000 WW II Coastwise Merchant Mariners will finally obtain veteran status that has been out of reach for over 70 years. History can be made by securing this recognition for these aging seafarers.
Amendments from both sides of the Congress to the National Defense Authorization Bill (NDAA) contain bills identifying recognition for the mariners. HR 1288 and S-1361, WW II Merchant Mariners Service Act are incorporated within HR 4435 and S 2410 respectively.
As you know the WW II Merchant Marine were granted veteran status by court ruling via Schmacher, Willner, et al, V. Secretary of the Air Force, Edward C. Aldridge, Jr 665 Supp 41 (D.D.C. 1987). Yet, many of the coastwise mariners cannot obtain their due status because of government intervention and these bills will correct this issue. Every county in North Carolina has stepped up and offered support via one facet or another indicating that the citizens and Representatives of North Carolina are supportive and want our veterans to gain their due status as veterans.
These bills will for the first time ever allow some elderly handicapped, schoolchildren and women seafarers to gain their rightful status as veterans. Specific actions of our government have prevented some of these mariners from obtaining their status. Due to those actions, alternative methods of recognition are required to replace documents that have been destroyed, denied or not issued to some of the 30,000 coastwise mariner who manned old outdated barges and tugs that moved war material to defense plants along enemy contested waters of our coastal ports.
The WW II Coastwise Mariners respectfully request your support in making this a reality. Our Senate will soon vote on the NDAA and we need your assistance to insure that their passage contain the specifics of HR 1288 and S 1361. To assure this becomes a reality we respectfully request that you identify your support to Senator Burr with a request that he directs his complete attention and support toward passage of the NDAA bill complete with the WW II amendments within.
Senator Burr has not demonstrated support for the two bills (HR 1288 & S-1361) regarding WW II Merchant Mariner Service Act. He feels a legislative change would allow individuals to provide non-military records in order to receive veteran status would set an unnecessary precedent. However, non-military records has been used by the merchant marine to demonstrate service has been in use since 1937 (see attach #3). We believe he is relying on misinformation relating specifically to our bill. Those details are enclosed as one of the attachments and the other is an analysis of the overall situation. Since the staff of the Senator has chosen to provide their view of the issue then, in all fairness, we should have the opportunity for rebuttal. Please review and utilize as necessary to assist in getting the true facts to the Senator.
This may be the last opportunity to assist these mariners as most have already crossed the bar and the few remaining are losing interest after 70 years of waiting with no results. We need to make good on our promised to support our veterans and we must do this. Can we count on you to reach out to Senator Burr and request his support in making a dream come true for a few old seamen? Thank you for your consideration and your service to our country via the NC Delegation.
Please provide confirmation and intent. Thank you.
Very Respectfully,
J Don Horton, veteran WW II & Korean War
J. Don Horton, President

This year's SEC "Game of the Century" has little chance of ending 9-6.
Even with overtime, there were no touchdowns in LSU's victory.
That game featured 23 defensive players currently on NFL rosters (12 from LSU and 11 from Alabama). It also featured a first-year starting quarterback for Alabama (sophomore AJ McCarron) and a pair of LSU QBs (Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson) who were, well, let's just say they were not Heisman Trophy winners.
This time, McCarron is one of the best quarterbacks in the country, and Texas A&M has Johnny Football.
Tide coach Nick Saban on Wednesday called A&M "one of the great offensive teams, maybe in the history of college football." The teams combined for 849 yards in A&M's 29-24 upset in Tuscaloosa last November.
As big as Alabama-A&M feels, it's too early to bill this as the Game of the Year. Back in 2011, it was clear the winner of Bama-LSU was on the fast track toward the BCS championship game. As it turns out, a loss was only a detour for the loser, but that's another story.
By November, both Alabama and A&M could be out of the title chase. It doesn't seem likely, but you never know.
The picks:
No. 1 Alabama (minus 7½) at No. 6 Texas A&M: Tide won't stop Johnny Football, but A&M won't stop Tide ... ALABAMA 42-31.
Vanderbilt (plus 13½) at No. 13 South Carolina: Jadeveon Clowney won't win the Heisman, but he can still wreck a game ... SOUTH CAROLINA 28-13.
No. 7 Louisville (minus 14) at Kentucky : Teddy Bridgewater and Co. pour it on against rival Wildcats ... 45-17.
No. 20 Wisconsin (plus 5½) at Arizona State: Badgers power through heat and fast-paced Sun Devils ... WISCONSIN 31-28.
For his next trick, QB Jameis Winston gets Noles fans to buy tickets to see Nevada ... FSU 56-20.

For the past month I have had dropouts with Mediacoms Internet Service. Service stops, the modem goes to two lights, then no lights then finally reboots. They've been to my house 4 times, replaced the cable, replaced the modem and I still have the problem. They denied it could still be happening so I posted a video on Youtube and have been keeping track of the outages (by setting up a ping to a website with a fallback in case website 1 is down for some reason. So far today dropouts at 7:22, 8:16, 9:14, 9:15, and 10:46 It's like this most of the time. Typically it's down for about 2 minutes. I'm at my wits end with them and considering switching to dsl however I'm stubborn and want to see this fixed. The last person I talked to at Mediacom said they will start charging me if I request another service call.I don't think this is right. I've documented the problem with video, sent them log files. I have indisputable proof this is happening. Anyone have suggestions for my next step?
I see that you only have the internet service with us, but do you have any splitters connected? There are no area issues that I am seeing.
Yes I only have Mediacom for Internet, Not TV. I don't have splitters that I'm aware of, and like I said Mediacom has been here 4 times in the last 2 weeks. If a splitter were the problem you would think they would have found it. Bottom line is lights go out on the modem...this is before the router.I'll send you the link to the Youtube video through pm
Service calls are not free but most of the time Mediacom does not charge for them for some reason (they want to nickle and dime you but won't charge $100 for a service call ). Techs can double check your wiring and modem, check your signal history by calling Tier 2 and if everything checks out - the job is done. Your notes about intermittent internet mean nothing to techs IF everything is OK when a tech is on site and your signal history is not showing any issues. Even if your signal history shows an issue but at the time of the call it's all good it's going to be hard to pinpoint the issue. A tech can't fix something that is not broken. What a tech can do is start a complete rewire of your home except he doesn't have the time to do it and you won't like the bill if he charges you for it.So if you keep calling for an issue that Mediacom can not see they will start charging you for sure. Your best bet is to deal with Chad only and not with customer service at all.--I speak for myself, not my employer.
Dealing with Chad is the only way to go. We are all lucky to have him.

Emphysema Symptoms
Emphysema is a form of chronic (long-term) lung disease, usually caused by smoking. Because of lung damage, people with emphysema have difficulty blowing air out.
The major symptom of emphysema is shortness of breath. In most people, symptoms of emphysema are slowly progressive. Emphysema symptoms also include cough and wheezing.
Emphysema Symptoms: Breathlessness Most Common
Shortness of breath is by far the most common of emphysema symptoms. Most people with emphysema first notice something's wrong when they become winded during a previously routine activity. This might be climbing stairs or mowing the lawn.
The shortness of breath in emphysema results from structural changes in the lungs. These occur over years in response to lung damage, usually from smoking:
- The linings between air sacs are destroyed, creating air pockets in the lungs.
- Air is trapped in these air pockets and is difficult to breathe out.
- The lungs slowly enlarge, and breathing takes more effort.
In people with emphysema, the muscles responsible for breathing have to work harder, and tire out sooner. The result is feeling breathless -- at first with activity -- and at rest in advanced emphysema.
Other Emphysema Symptoms
Virtually everyone with emphysema experiences shortness of breath, especially with exertion. Many people with emphysema develop some of the other emphysema symptoms:
- Wheezing: This symptom of emphysema is shared with asthma. Wheezing often improves with inhaled medicines called bronchodilators.
- Cough: A large proportion of people with emphysema experience a cough. Often this is related to smoking. However, cough can persist as one of the symptoms of emphysema after quitting smoking.
- Chest tightness or pain: These may be symptoms of emphysema or of coexisting heart disease. Chest tightness occurs more often with exercise or during periods of breathlessness.
People with emphysema may also face some other less common emphysema symptoms:
These symptoms of emphysema occur more often in its advanced stages.
Symptoms of Emphysema Are Slowly Progressive
Symptoms of emphysema are progressive, meaning they can be expected to get worse over time. The rate at which breathlessness worsens depends mainly on whether someone with emphysema continues to smoke.
The lungs slowly lose function with age, even in nonsmokers. In people with emphysema, smoking accelerates this loss of lung function. If a smoker with emphysema quits, he or she can reduce the rate of decline to that of a nonsmoker.
Most people experience the onset of emphysema slowly and gradually. In smokers who develop emphysema, symptoms usually begin between age 45 and 60.
It's difficult to predict the rate of progression of emphysema symptoms. Much is unknown about why emphysema occurs and in whom.
In some people, emphysema symptoms progress faster than in others. It's believed that genetic factors make some people more vulnerable to developing emphysema. Genetics may also cause some people's emphysema symptoms to progress more rapidly.
The majority of people with emphysema, though, can expect relatively slow progression of emphysema symptoms, provided they quit smoking.
