Markets go up and down, and money is made and lost as the ebbs and flows of opportunities coincide or diverge. Great fortunes can be made by placing risky bets. However, the probability of achieving such success is fairly small, which leads to an age-old question: How can prudent investors craft a risk-appropriate strategy?
Authored by James Colby
We have seen and heard the term default brought into play for the municipal bond market in a significant way over the past 18 months, but never more so than in the six months subsequent to Meredith Whitney's pronouncements from her December 19, 2011 appearance on 60 Minutes. Sparing the details, her suggestions sent the municipal market into a tailspin during the first half of 2011. What she did not make clear was the all-important distinction between the terms "default" and "bankruptcy" as they apply to municipal bonds. In the muni universe, these terms have significantly different meanings than in the corporate world...
Municipal bonds are "Main Street investments," with an estimated 73% of the $3.7 trillion in outstanding principal owned by households or mutual funds1. On the other hand, municipal bonds are traded in an over-the-counter (OTC) market where dealers create liquidity. Main Street depends on Wall Street, and vice versa, with both sides benefitting.... Enter the Volcker Rule which seeks to limit proprietary portfolio trading by banks.... thousands of revenue muni bonds that depend on dealer liquidity are not exempt, and are vulnerable to the Rule's unintended consequences.

Novella set in LONDON at Christmas (and a fab competition!)
28th November 2014
One Hundred Christmas Proposals by Holly Martin, novella set in London. The eagerly anticipated...
For those who love mountains – whether clinging by their fingertips with rock inches from their nose, or at a safer, picture-postcard, distance – there is much to fascinate in Mountains of the Mind, a travelogue set in Europe, China, and Nepal. The mountains are real enough; it's the story of their impact on the human imagination that is Robert Macfarlane's subject. Today, many of us are irresistibly drawn to the spectacle and challenge that mountains afford, but it was not ever thus. Until the eighteenth century, mountains were places that most people, apart from Greek deities and Old Testament patriarchs, feared and avoided. Indeed, wealthy travellers in the seventeenth century paid to be led across the Alps blindfold lest the terrifying prospect of the peaks and precipices overwhelm them. As an academic and a mountaineer, Macfarlane is expertly qualified to document this transformation, and he interlaces beautifully the geological, historical and literary strands of the story with his own up-close and dangerous experiences of snow and ice in high places.
On a recent visit to the Alps, where I set eyes for the first time on the massif of Mont Blanc, I fully appreciated Edmund Burke's notion of the sublime as a pleasure evoked by terror at a (just) safe distance. And I marvelled at the exploits of Albert Smith, the English entrepreneur who climbed the mountain in 1851 supported by a prodigious team who carried with them over seventy bottles of wine, three of cognac and two of champagne. We are not told of the view, if any, he was capable of gaining when he reached the summit, but for anyone who shares the fascination that Macfarlane chronicles, this book will lead to enthralling new vistas from its many heights.

From a Japanese restaurateur who really likes to sing, YamaSho makes you feel like you are guests in the cozy home of a talented native chef.Continued

- Really poor service.SFdinerVIPDined on 11/13/2014Came here with a group of about 10 coworkers. Had a reservation on OpenTable but apparently because I was not able to pick up their phone call a few hours earlier, they assumed I was not coming and did not have a table ready. So we had to wait for them to get a table for 10 together upon arrival. After ordering, it took a good 50 minutes for all food to arrive. That is one thing, BUT there was a 30 minute difference from the time that the first person's food arrived until the last dish. Most restaurants will attempt to prepare dishes for the entire table before bringing everyone's food. There was zero attempt to do that in this situation. That created a very awkward situation where literally 8 of the 10 people had finished the food before the last person's food came. Finally, everyone but one person's dish arrived and that person ate alone while everyone else waited (we had to rush because we had another appointment after). They showed no concern even when we asked about the remaining dishes. Really really poor experience here.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/27/2014The food was not good. We will not return. We will recommend against visiting
- Was dissapointed this timeElenaVIPDined on 9/10/2014I live next door from the restaurant. Food and service were always good, but the sushi chef is very slow. Last time we had to wait for about 40 mins to get a simple roll. They need to do something about this
- Fun, Festive and great FoodAbbeVIPDined on 9/6/2014Go, it was a surprise to find such a nice spot in this area of town. Loved it.Special Features:
- Good dining and great karaokeTh3R1chardDined on 8/30/2014YamaSho is definitely the best place to karaoke in San Francisco, but they are also an excellent place to eat some delicious Japanese food! Their menu is comprehensive and includes many options that help making ordering for groups easier (sushi packages, pitchers of beer, etc.). Note that making and OpenTable reservation for YamaSho is strictly for their dining area, so if you wanna karaoke you should call in to reserve a room (rooms go fast!). The service at YamaSho is excellent and I always feel completely taken care of from before I arrive until I leave.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So-so Japanese food/experienceTableForTwoDined on 8/24/2014These days it's hard to find a really good Japanese restaurant. YamaSho is okay for the food, but the service and ambience is lacking. You have to constantly track down a wait staff to make inquiries. Food isn't always served timely such as appetizers served first with time to enjoy them and then your main entree. They tended to be served on top of each other. The look of the restaurant is okay with the wood walls and benches, but it feels like a barn with wood tables placed in the middle of it.Special Features:

- Birthday CelebrationCathrynneDined on 5/24/2014I made a reservation through Open Table for a group of friends for dinner to celebrate a birthday. The food was delicious and came out in a timely manner. (It's one of the few places I've found takoyaki - let alone good takoyaki.) We let slip that it was our friend's birthday. Around dessert time, one of the employees came out with a slice of cake and a candle. After my group sang happy birthday, the employee said that she would now sing for my friend. We were all completely blown away! Her voice was beyond amazing! So, great food at a decent price not to mention the option to get a karaoke room and fantastic service. I'd definitely recommend.Special Features:
- YamaShoOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/22/2014Great location. Parking very very close. Greta food fair price. Highly recommended.Special Features:
- Terrible, slow serviceShrehaDined on 3/21/2014I went with a large party for a friend's birthday and we were seated in the upstairs dining room. The food was great but the service was ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! It took us 1 hour to get our drinks (we had to approach multiple servers and even go down to the kitchen to ask them to AT LEAST give us water because we were parched) and 2 hours to start getting our appetizers and then our food. It was absolutely ridiculous. I have never had this terrible service in my life. I would never, ever, EVER go here again.
- Great service and tasty sushifirsttimerDined on 3/8/2014The combo of being seated promptly, good sushi, delicious drinks and awesome service made this a great night for our group of 7.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great restaurant!!!!!MauriceP25Dined on 3/1/2014Wonderful, kind & spirited host. They gave excellent service and I would recommend to all my friends and family. The hostess sang me happy birthday and I loved it she almost made me cry because it was the best happy birthday I'd ever heard.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Saturday nightchopstickchickDined on 2/22/2014Our reservation was for 5:30 on Saturday night. We arrived a few minutes early and were seated promptly by the hostess. Our waitress came to take our drink order within 2 minutes of us sitting down. As the restaurant began to fill up, we were worried that service would start lacking, but we never felt unattended. The service was great, the food was great, and we had a great time. We would definitely go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Japanese food with creative flair!JohnfromSFDined on 1/31/2014YamaSho is a gem. On its premises is a stand-alone restaurant and Karaoke rooms. The cuisine is exquisite -- creative, well prepared, and utterly delicious. The service and serving staff are among the best in San Francisco: friendly and courteous, knowledgeable about the dishes, and clearly there to be of help. The drink menu includes an overflowing, inexpensive wooden container of one of two kinds of saki not to be missed. Our recommendations include: for appetizers, the black cod, grilled squid, and takosu (octopus); for small plate dishes, the grilled mackerel; and the sushi is extraordinarily fresh and well-prepared. But our favorite dish is a shiso "cracker" that is to die for.Special Features:
- Great group experienceKC99Dined on 1/5/2014I went with a group of 19, and we were able to get the upstairs private room, typically used for karaoke, although we were only dining. It was great to have our own space, food was good, although service was a little slow and everybody's food came out at different times so that we weren't really eating together. They did apologize for the slow service as they were really busy that night, which we appreciated. Good sushi rolls, great variety of items on the menu, and lots of choices of sake! Overall, a really good experience, and was exactly the type of spot we were looking to celebrate the occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SadtallnerdDined on 12/31/2013That's the best way to describe the overall experience. My friends roll came with wasabi in it as well as my very basic rolls. I thought I had smudged some onto mine but opened mine up and saw it was in it. Our servers were running around like mad as if the place was full when there were only about 15 of us in there. Made it a bit distracting. My friend got a different roll but I ate 2 pieces and didn't want to be "that customer" so ate it all with no enjoyment. I'm just not a fan of it and least expect it in a roll unless stated in the menu. Inside, the decor is great, warm environment, and very friendly staff.
- This is my second time goingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 12/14/2013This is my second time going here for Karaoke. It has become my go-to Karaoke spot because they have a great selection of music and the customer service is excellent!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- slow serviceMitchDined on 12/13/2013I went there with a group of 8 on a Friday night and the service was very impersonal and slow. It's as if they were understaffed that evening, perhaps that's the reason. The food was OK.Special Features:
- Fun with a few drawbacksSussoDined on 11/23/2013Yamasho was a great time. A group of 9 came out to celebrate my bday. We ate and sang for three hours, and probably would have stayed longer if we could have afforded it. The food was decent-- not the best sushi, but we came for the music and were glad it was so convenient to get dinner. We ordered a lot of food, and didn't get three orders, which were still on the bill. Thank god we noticed, because it was pretty pricey-- about $50 per person. Still, had a great time-- would probably go back and have dinner elsewhere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Karaoke roomsranmaDined on 11/22/2013Went there in a group of 4 for an evening of Karaoke and we were not disappointed. Also love the Izakaya-style food you could order even from inside the Karaoke rooms. I'll most definitively go again the next time in the Bay Area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food but service was lackingmicu5Dined on 11/18/2013Dining at YamaSho was a rather bizarre experience. They weren't very busy, and there seemed to be plenty of servers in proportion to the number of customers, but the service was terrible. The only times we ever talked to a server were when we stopped them on their way past our table. We had to ask to order dinner, ask for water (twice), ask for utensils, ask to order dessert, and ask for our check. Nobody ever stopped to ask us how our food was or if we needed anything. Not once. And they were so disorganized; it seemed like none of them knew what to do. I'm not even sure which person was our actual server. The food was pretty good, but don't come to YamaSho if you're starving or in a hurry.
- Fantastic Big Party!LlebuttercupDined on 11/2/2013Yamasho was a great place to have our group party! Very accommodating for group of 12, food was fantastic, and service was friendly. Overall, good value, lively place to have your special celebration or get together for an entertaining night with friends.Special Features:
- Karaoke HeavenLoriWVIPDined on 10/26/2013We booked the New York room for my daughters 21st birthday. We were greeted warmly & signed in and quickly shown to our room. The staff was fantastic and food and beverage service to the room was a phone call away. It was a great night out!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best birthday accommodationRachelDined on 10/19/2013I made my reservation for 18 people just two days in advance, not only was the restaurant very accommodating in that they made plenty of room for such a large party but they were timely and accurate with orders. Also, as it was a birthday dinner, a female server whom I regret not getting the name of brought out a free dessert and sang happy birthday beautifully and enthusiastically. The experience was great in every way, and the birthday song made it the most special birthday experience I have ever had at a restaurant as an adult. Because of the exceptional service I will absolutely recommend this restaurant, especially for birthdays. The food, and selection, was also very good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Make sure to leave a tipedgarVIPDined on 10/18/2013My friends and I were here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday - after being able to book at massive karaoke room for only 10 of us, and $500 later, the lady at the front area could not help but remind us how the bill did not include tip THREE TIMES. Needless to say, customer service at this place is the worse but they will make sure to remind you to tip.Special Features:
- Second time and still charmed!Drooling4GormetDined on 10/12/2013We went there for Birthday Karaoke fun! I may be hoarse from all the singing, but I have no regrets. The food is a bit pricy but good. I've enjoyed this for another b-day venue too. GO and have a blast!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food but mediocre serviceJessicaDined on 10/6/2013The food was good however the service was mediocre.Special Features:
- Fresh food, horrible serviceNelleVIPDined on 10/3/2013The food was so fresh and authentic tasting but the service was horrible. The servers skipped over us about 3 times until I went to the hostess stand to place my order. There was a birthday party and another table that seemed to be VIP so the servers were focusing all of their attention on those two tables. We were the only other table in there. It was disappointing to have such poor service the food was so good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Because it was a special eventHiTeaVIPDined on 9/12/2013Because it was a special event night, the food service was very slow. The food- rolls are very small and we thought those were so tiny. Price is reasonable but we do not mind paying more for more food....too bad.
- Star qualityOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/29/2013Friends and I rented a karaoke room here for four hours! We had so much fun we made a date on our calendar to come again soon. The service in our room when we ordered food and drinks was fast and very friendly. I highly recommend letting you're inner star come have a little mic time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great private room karaoke spotburgernbeerluvrDined on 8/3/2013This review is just for their private karaoke rooms, as they have general restaurant seating as well. YamaSho is a great place for getting a group of friends together to sing karaoke. The service is great and there's a phone in your karaoke room to call whenever you need assistance (such as turning up the AC) or to place a food order. Wonderful place to sing karaoke AND dine as you can order from their full menu and have your meal brouht right into the room as you are singing. The food experience was mediocre (we ordered different sushi rolls), but the karaoke experience was great as they provided an ipad which allowed us to easily search for the song/artist we wanted.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome karaokeJasonDined on 6/9/2013This is ge second time i gave brought my family here and both times we had so much fun. The staff was very hospitable and friendly. We love it. Even my picky teens had a great time hanging out with Dad.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I was in town for a conferenceniccidDined on 5/21/2013I was in town for a conference and our last night a group of us went to Yamasho for dinner and karaoke. We had a blast. It was our best night the whole trip!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Sushi For the PriceBGOODined on 5/18/2013YamaSho is tasty for the cost. And if you sing, the karaoke rooms are a lot of fun.
- Great dinner & karaoke spotOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 5/2/2013Excellent food, although the sushi selection is a bit limited (not that many rolls, no seasonal specials -- we were hoping to get some toro but they didn't have any). Most of the rolls unfortunately have some kind of cooked or fried element to it, but there are still a few good ones that avoid it. The shiro maguro (albacore tuna) sashimi was heavenly, and the shiso cracker with spicy tuna is one of my fav japanese appetizers in the whole city. The cooked food is really good too. Excellent chicken karaage, and they have this noodle dish with pork and bonito flakes which is outstanding (didn't order it on this trip). The karaoke experience at YamaSho is top notch! Best song selection in SF, and quick delivery of beer and sake! :-)Special Features:
- Birthday Dinner KaraokeDrDanDined on 4/27/2013spent quite a bit of money here, rented a karaoke room, but it seemed very disorganized and just about the money. Thank goodness for my wonderful friends who helped make the night a memorable one. Otherwise, I might've been bitter for having rented the room in the first place.
- Sashimi was particularly goodOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 4/11/2013Sashimi was particularly good in quality and flavor. Rolls are better than average and service was excellent. Very lively place so the noise level is high.Special Features:
- This was the only place myOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 4/6/2013This was the only place my group of ornery friends agreed to meet for karaoke. We had a really good time. I personally do not like sushi / sake and did not have the food. But my group did and they were complimentary. We're not foodies though. I recommend this place. The staff was really nice.Special Features:
- YamaSho sushi is superbJessDubyaDined on 3/16/2013Great service and great food for a price. Also a nice karaoke spot with plenty of rooms.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surprise off of Van NessOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 2/26/2013We had no idea about this place until we got there. After a darn good meal, the hostess (Kiyomi) gave us a tour of the Karaoke rooms down stairs. She gave us a free 1/2 hour try since it was a Tuesday evening. She even sang us a song. She had a fantastic voice by the way! Great experience. The food was solid Japanese fare, sushi was good and an overall great place to spend a few hours.Special Features:
- Nice reastaurant. It was ahungryDined on 2/16/2013Nice reastaurant. It was a surprise, nothing outside but very beautiful inside. Help was top notch, food was terrific 6 blocks from city hall so not bad for the Opera, Ballet, Hurbst theater etc. 50 feet off Van Ness so easy to get to. I will be back.Special Features:

"If you want to improve your playing skills, you have to know exactly what needs improving. It won't help to empty a bucket of range balls with your driver when it's your putting that's killing your scores.
I understood this 30 years ago, when I first began measuring the skills of the PGA Tour players I worked with. This was before laser rangefinders, so I had to walk off distances before tournaments then run outside the ropes during events to chart where players hit their shots. I used these shot patterns and scores to identify weak areas and help the players turn those weaknesses into strengths. This research-based instruction formed the foundation of my teaching career and Scoring Game Schools, and today it remains a driving force within both.
Last summer, the PGA Tour offered me its ShotLink laser technology and software to study the games of amateurs. With their help, the Pelz Golf Institute staff measured every shot from more than 300 amateurs on four holes over four rounds at Arrowhead Country Club during the PGA Tour Superstore World Amateur Handicap Championship, in Myrtle Beach, S.C. This data allowed us to assess amateur skills with an accuracy never before possible. (And I didn't have to do any running!) The purpose of our research was to compare amateur skills to those of PGA Tour players (which ShotLink measures) and use this data to help you assess where your game lies within that skill spectrum. Knowing this, you can accurately identify where your game needs the most work and how hard you must go at it to become a better player." — Dave Pelz

SPAIN AND THE WORLD Vol. II. No. 44. LONDON, NOVEMBER 12th, 1938. PRICE 2d.—U.S.A. 5 cents The State rests on the slavery of labour. If labour becomes free, the State is lost. - MAX STIRNER (The Ego and his Own) The State is always a conservative power that authorizes, regulates and organizes the conquests of progress; but never does it inaugurate them - SYSMONDI. (History of the Italian Republics) CHAMBERLAIN THE UNREADY by F. A. RIDLEY In the year 991 England was invaded by an army of pure-blooded "Nordics," Viking bandits of the true "Ayran" breed. The Anglo-Saxon king, Ethelred, unable to withstand these international brigands, bought them off with a tribute of hard cash known as "Danegelt." On account of this military unpreparedness King Ethelred is known to historians as the "redeless" — i.e., who refuses to take advice — or, more generally, as "the Unready." In 1938 Neville Chamberlain, British Prime Minister, buys off, in intention if not in fact, another assault from international bandits of pure "Aryan" stock. Like Ethelred, his political prototype, he pays tribute to the Vikings. And, more obsequious than his predecessor who sent the money, Chamberlain delivers the goods in person. He is Chamberlain the Unready. "The Unready." But not necessarily "the man who would not take advice." For it would be to reason in the most superficial manner to assume that the "sudden decision" of the political director of British Imperialism to "square the circle" and avoid a war by hook or crook, was not a deliberate premeditated decision to avoid a world-war at all costs. Undoubtedly Mr. Chamberlain's apparently surprising decision represents the deepest and most fundamental needs of British Imperialism: above all, the need to survive in a world which becomes ever more inimical to the power, and, indeed, to the very existence, of the British Empire. An International crisis, and, above all, such a crisis in its sharpest form, the imminent threat of world-war, acts like a flash of lightning in the physical sphere; it lights up the murky terrain and brings the whole situation into the political searchlight. In the dazzling light that is shed upon the world situation of British Imperialism by the Hitler-Chamberlain conversations, the elemental landscape is now revealed as never before. Both British Imperialism and its critics of yesterday stand clearly revealed. That historical landscape will repay a moment's attention. The British Empire now exists on sufferance. Britannia holds her empire by permission: her trident is now permanently in pawn. Such is the final political lesson that emerges from the Anglo-German Conversations of September 15th, 1938. The British Empire, flamboyant with Disraeli, insolent with Kipling, on a circumspect defensive with Baldwin, is now on its knees with Chamberlain, begging for permission to survive. And in all this there is no accident: the contemporary phase of its historic development is adequately expressed. Neville Chamberlain represents British Imperialism in its decline as accurately as his father "Joe" Chamberlain of glorious memory represented it in its heyday. Chamberlain pere fought Britain's last aggressive war, the Boer war; ruthlessly he trampled on the weak — Britain's hands were, of Imperialism fears it, particularly in course, clean: there was no "Kellogg Pact" to outlaw the "aggressor!" Chamberlain fils cringes to the strong! "Peace, and again Peace," that is his sole cry. Is it that Imperialism "red in tooth and claw," has at long last submitted to "the evolution of morals?" Or is it merely that the ravenous beast is old and tired; that his claws are blunted with age: that his teeth are falling out? Both views have their supporters. The writer of these lines does not subscribe to either of these conflicting opinions. Morality and Imperialism inhabit widely sundered worlds; they have as much to do with each other as, shall are say, Lenin, the author of "Imperialism," and his present ci devant Russian disciples tumbling over each other to mount the Imperialist band-waggon! As for German Imperialism, no one could take it lightly as an opponent after its proven military efficiency in the last war; none the less, it can hardly be supposed that British view of its vast economic superiority, and of the innumerable allies, ranging from "Communist" Russia to Fascist Portugal, all palpitating with ardour to die for Democracy; and, of course, in defence therefore of "the mother of Parliaments." No! Chamberlain (and his allies) have no cause to fear the bankrupt and divided Germany of to-day. If Britain, etc., etc., fights Germany again, Britain, etc., etc., will win. As the British Secret Service has not got the reputation of consisting exclusively of Morons, Chamberlain must know all this as well as anyone. If Chamberlain fears, as he obviously does, to fight Germany this cannot be because he is "yellow," at any rate in the ordinary sense of the term. (Pace the "News-Chronicle" the British Foreign Office knows its job; and while the "Daily Herald" and the "Daily Worker" may foam at the mouth and demand Chamberlain's impeachment for his refusal "to look the Fascist danger firmly in the face," yet, after all, the British ruling class, and its political instrument, the Tory party, have been in the Imperialist game for four centuries: not four years, like the the Labour Party, or four months, like the Communist Party! They know all the ropes by this time). Why then will not Chamberlain Continued on page 2 HAVE YOU SENT A CONTRIBUTION TO OUR PRESS FUND? We need £200 by the end of the year! NATIONAL SERVICE The Government plans to introduce conscription. The workers must make no mistake. This would place a tremendous weapon in the hands of reaction — a weapon which the ruling class would not be hesitant to use. Already the signs begin to appear. "Defense of Factories" is only a cover for attacks against the freedom of workers. Speed-up is increasing everywhere. Under the cover of National Service the Government hopes to manoeuvre the dupes and hired bullies of privilege into disorganising and intimidating the working-class. War is being used as a method of blackmail. It is not the Fascist blackmail of the "democracies", but the co-ordinated blackmail of Hitler, Chamberlain, Mussolini and Daladier, using the people's natural horror of warfare to intimidate them into accepting tyranny under the cover of defence. While Communists, Liberals and Labourites stand ready to betray the workers into a new Imperialist slaughter, Anarchism upholds the true tradition of their class — the tradition based on the fact that the workers have no country, for they are the wage-slaves of capitalist exploitation and the enemies of their exploiters. On the eleventh of November millions of sincere British "subjects" remain in silence to respect the dead. Those are not the feelings of the organisers of the ceremony — for according to their ruling class beliefs, have they not betrayed the cause for which those people died? Have they not, by their own standards, assured us that those men died in vain? For the ruling classes it is nothing more than an excuse for using the frailty of human sentiment to cultivate the psychology of mass-hysteria and servitude. Do not accept the usual pro-militarist ballyhoo. They will tell you about the so-called peace they have gained, and will urge the need for preparing for war. Don't be fooled by politicians, bosses, warmongers or state officials. Use the opportunity to build a movement for workers' direct action, workers' direct control, and freedom, while their is still time. (Issued by The Anarchist Federation of Britain) The Internationals who were not present By Federica Montseny Barcelona gave a rousing send-off to the volunteers of the International Brigade. Along the streets of Barcelona men of all races and from every corner of the earth who came to offer their all for the cause for which the Spanish people is fighting, marched past upright and sad. And alongside those who marched past, I remembered those who were not among them. The "Internationals" who were not present ... those whom no one remembered. Those who were not present ... I think of Albert Brachet the young Belgium socialist professor, killed on the Madrid front. I think of Fosco Falaschi, a symbolic figure, the incarnation of the heroic sentiment in life, drawn to anarchism, who fell on the Aragon front ... A great writer, a man of great culture who came to give his errant Italian life for the cause of the Spanish people against fascism which has enslaved all Italy. I think of Rosselli, murdered in Paris by Fascism after having escaped death a thousand times in Aragon. Rosselli ideal figure of Italian Socialism, genuine Idealist... And I think of Camillo Berneri, of our Berneri ... Yet another of the Internationals who was not present! Yet another of the Internationals who did not march through the streets of Barcelona. In some hidden corner there is yet a man or some men who, if they read these lines, will feel a cold shudder run through their veins. And they will recall the man, that almost child-like eyes, that open smile, that gentle voice, that ever qustioning look upon his face. And they will see Berneri stiff, covered in blood dead ... (6 lines censored)* . . . Berneri! Poor Berneri! A beautiful personality, all goodness, all frankness, all idealism. When the black history is written, the black history runs current with the glorious history, the world will contemplate the figure of Berneri as to-day it looks upon those of Anarchasis Clootz, Engheim, Lacy and Duval. And the others. Those unknown men. The workers who came from Poland and Bulgaria, Roumania, England and Sweden, from the most distant corners of America, from the depths of Africa, from the frontiers of the Orient . . . I have seen unforgettable men I have listened to the most unbelievable stories. And nevertheless, true. Because sometimes reality is more vivid than our imaginations. Men of all political ideas. Communists, Socialists, Anarchist, Liberals and Democrats . . . And angry proletarians, their feelings dominated by the class struggle, who came here to fight the common enemy, to share our bread and wine. I remember them. And on their innumerable graves, the tombs in which rest men without families, the tombs in which sleep sons mourned by many mothers of many races; above all the earth covered with bodies I cast a sad glance and a broken heart . . . Tomorrow bards will sing your praises! There will rise a poet — and who knows from what womb will be born and from what far off land will come he — who will write this new and glorious Legend of the Centuries. (Solidaridad Obrera) (* These lines must refer to the responsible elements amongst the Communists who assassinated Berneri during the May Days, 1937 — Ed.) TOM MOONEY TO BE FREED? The victory of the Democrat Cuthbert Olson as Governor of California reminds one that amongst his promises if he were elected was that he would liberate the Labour Leader Tom Mooney who for the past 21 years has been in St. Quentin prison in company with Warren Billings. As far back as 1928 Judge Franklin Griffen wrote to the Governor of California: "The trial judge (myself), the foreman of the jury, 11 members of the jury, the present District Attorney, and every other official, except District Attorney Kickert, the prosecutor, now dead — to-day believe the convicted men were innocent, and are sincere advocates of their pardon." Since then, appeal after appeal have been in vain. Will the Governor of California now keep his word and free Tom Mooney and Warren Billings? Public opinion must force him to do so if now that he has obtained "power" he forgets his promises! Tom Mooney had been for many years a member of Moulder's Union Local 164 and was known throughout California as an energetic fighter in the cause of the workers. For many years he had been an effective factor in various strikes. Because of his incorruptibility he was cordially hated by every employer and labour politician of the Coast. The United Railways had tried, a few years previously, to put Mooney behind the bars but even the farmer jury have refused to credit the frame-up against him. Ed.

This poster hit it right on the head. Theres two thing that bother me to warrior tanking.But what happens after you get that initial burst off and the pally has still managed to outthreat you?
1.) Paladins
2.) raid leaders that ride the paladin tip without acknowledging class mechanics. And realizing bad tanking.
So here is what I mean by this. I tank side by side exclussively with a paladin on my server. His name is Abuz and we play on the Thorium Brotherhood server (yes an RP server lawlz away but havent found a serious place to transfer to).
I am happy to tank side by side with him. Even though his threat far exceeds mine he knows when to back off. And when to come forward. Everyone understands how tautn works now. Most of these bosses are tauntable. So threat is not an issue in gapping. If your RL is telling you your threat doesn't compare to a paladin. And you are trading on mobs and he out threats you or rips it off of you. You need to bring this to your raid leads attention. Because he is either....
1.) Pulling an epeen contest and out threating you intentionally.
2.) Doesn't understand tanking dynamics and is threat throwing all the damn time.
3.) Wants to be number one tank and has tunnel vision to all other priorities.
Tanking with more than one tank requires those tanks to realize thier strengths and weaknesses. The have to know when to taunt, when to move, when to threat, when not to threat, when to pull from the other, when to back off. If your tanking partner doesn't understand this or won't. Then the issue is primarily but not exclusively thier fault. And even more so on the raid leads fault for not understanding wtf he's doing when it comes to tanking dynamics with mutliple tanks.

As federal policy makers push for GHG regulation and transparent markets, the California experience shows what works and what doesn't work.
2009 Regulator's Forum: Walking A Tightrope
The economy forces tough decisions.
in learning how to save energy and implement cost-effective energy efficiency measures.
Cawley, Pennsylvania: A 2008 law required Pennsylvania EDCs serving more than 100,000 customers to establish an energy efficiency and conservation plan to help meet electricity consumption reduction targets of 1 percent by May 31, 2011, and 3 percent by May 31, 2013. The energy consumption reductions total 1.5 million MWh and 4.4 million MWh, respectively. The act also requires a 4.5-percent reduction in peak demand by May 31, 2013, which totals 1,193 MW. Peak demand is defined as the system's top 100 hours of highest demand.
Pennsylvania EDCs began implementing the energy efficiency and conservation plans in October 2009. The programs include consumer give-aways for compact florescent light bulbs and rebates for exchanging old appliances for EnergyStar models. We required all of the state's large EDCs to file a consumer education plan. Also we're working to make consumers aware of: ways to reduce usage; pending rate increases once generation rate caps expire; utility mitigation programs (including the opportunity for customers to pre-pay or defer a portion of the rate increase); and the opportunities for shopping for electric generation. At the same time, we're working to ensure that low-income consumers know about the steps they can take to reduce usage and programs available to help restore and maintain service.
Fortnightly: Has the down economy resulted in any novel rate structures being presented for consideration?
Brown, New York: In two recent major electric rate cases, the commission imputed savings that would result from utilities adopting austerity budgets. And on a generic basis, the commission required all major gas and electric utilities to closely examine their planned expenditures to identify costs that could be reduced without impairing their ability to provide safe and adequate service; essentially by adopting austerity budgets. Each utility was to also address the appropriate allocation of savings between customers and shareholders and to propose a mechanism to deliver savings to customers as promptly as possible. Some of the utilities have voluntarily agreed to provide additional payment-related assistance to customers during the last winter period.
Everett, Georgia: The commission has encouraged and approved the development of a critical peak pricing tariff for residential customers. The tariff currently is in the pilot stage. It's used in conjunction with AMI metering. Customers that reduce load when a critical peak period is identified receive a credit for the reduction. If the customer doesn't reduce load, the customer pays the standard tariff rate.
DelGobbo, Connecticut: Over the past five years, the department has undertaken a number of initiatives to implement time-of-use and other innovative rate options. Time-of use rates are now mandatory for all customers over 100 kW. One of our electric distribution companies also has seasonal rates, mandatory time-of use rates for larger residential customers and voluntary rates for all customers. The other electric distribution company currently doesn't have the meters necessary for large-scale implementation of time-differentiated rates. The utility is conducting a major rate study to examine the costs and benefits of new rate options and the deployment of smart
