The desideratum of the neoliberal regimes governing on both sides of the Atlantic can be summed up simply: It is the abolition of any barriers toi the infinite accumulation of wealth by that the very apex of an increasingly rigid and increasingly steep class hierarchy.
Two graphics drawn on the work of Berkeley economist Emmanuel Saez and colleagues sum up the reality:
First, the hyperconcentration of wealth by the American elite, via VoxEU:
Second, evidence that a parallel process is at work in Europe as well, most notably the U.K., via the London School of Economics:
One major factor in this process of hyperaccumulation is the deconstruction of progressive income tax and the replacement of lost revenues by regressive taxation that penalizes the porr and, increasingly, middle classes.
And one major initiative has been the replacement of student tuition and fees to replace lost tax revenues, with the result that student costs are soaring at rates far higher than inflation, forcing the young to mortgage their futures through student loans, debts that in the U.S. can't be forgiven in bankruptcy court, effectively insuring a form of debt servitude.
Just how bad has the increase been? Well, here's what is looks like for the University of Califonia, via the Committee on Student Fees:
But it doesn't stop there.
From the Associated Press:
Tuition hike tentatively approved in California
A proposed tuition hike was tentatively approved Wednesday by a committee of the University of California governing board.
The committee voted 7-2 to approve the plan recommended by UC President Janet Napolitano that would raise tuition in each of the next five years.
The proposed tuition hikes still must be reviewed by the full Board of Regents on Thursday.
Napolitano said the increases are needed to protect the quality of education in the face of insufficient state funding.
Before the meeting, students made their feelings known as the Los Angeles Times reports:
UC tuition hike: Shoving, anger among protesters, police
Student protesters and university police tussled outside a UC San Francisco meeting hall early Wednesday where the regents for the 10-campus system were about to debate a proposed tuition hike.
About 100 protesters tried to block entrances into the building as regents and other UC officials tried to enter. Some of the officials were jostled as they wedged their way through the yelling crowd. Pushing matches between police and protesters erupted at several entrances and at metal barricades.
There was one arrested in an incident that led to the shattering of a glass door in the building's rear, UC police said. No one appeared to be seriously injured in the protest.
A video report on the protest from Sacramento Bee:
UC students standoff with CFO Nathan Brostrom
Program notes:
University of California students protested a proposed tuition hike outside the Board of Regents meeting in San Francisco on Nov. 19, 2014.
The Bee also covered a Tuesday protest in nearby Davis, home of another University of California campus:
UC Davis tuition protest
Program notes:
Hundreds of students at UC Davis marched Tuesday to protest proposed tuition hikes.
And from ABC 10 News in San Diego, a report on a protest at the UC campus there:
UCSD students protest proposed tuition hike
Program notes:
UC San Diego students staged a sit-in Tuesday to protest a tuition hike proposal — an action mirrored at other University of California campuses.
And just as the wealth concentration process is going on in the U.K., so is the ceaseless rise in unviserity tuition, so that at the same time studentds were taking to the streets in California, their counterparts were doing the same in London.
From the Guardian:
Student protest over tuition fees ends in scuffles with police
- Organisers say 10,000 joined march, which saw NUS offices daubed with paint after it refused to back protest
Organisers said the demonstration against tuition fees and wider cuts to education was the biggest mobilisation of students since 2010 when demonstrators occupied Tory party offices at Millbank.
Wednesday's protest saw the National Union of Students (NUS) headquarters in London daubed with paint after it decided not to back the demonstration due to "an unacceptable level of risk" to its members. That provoked anger among those who took part in the march. "We did not organise what happened at the NUS but we do know students are very angry about being let down by the NUS," said Beth Redmond from the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts, one of the groups that organised the demonstration. "When you see the numbers here today, they are in danger of becoming an irrelevance."
Organisers claimed that up to 10,000 protesters took part in the march with university students joining those from further education colleges and sixth forms.
The protest passed off peacefully until demonstrators arrived at Parliament Square. A breakaway group of several hundred, including many who were wearing masks, pulled down fences blocking off the square, provoking minor scuffles with the police.
A video report for the Press Association:
Two arrested in mass student protest
Program notes:
Two protesters have been arrested after protesters on a student demonstration charged the headquarters of the Tory party in central London. Thousands of students marched through central London in protest against tuition fees and debt.
We agree with the students. Tax those who can afford it, and save the most precious resource any community has, its future, embodied in the students of today.

Best Beef for Stir-Fry ?
- o
- Oliverstreet Jul 20, 2006 06:12 PM
Can someone recommend a cut of meat that stays tender in a stir-fry? The pre-packaged cut meat I've been getting at Whole Foods has made for some embarassingly tough-to-chew meals.
Any stir-fry tips appreciated too. Perhaps I'm cooking the beef too long? I usually have it in there 6-8 minutes.
Flank steak usually. Filet for a few special dishes. Either way, cut into strips across the grain.
I cook the meat only until it just changes colour. And on most domestic ranges, which have about a quarter of the output of a typical wok burner, you're best off keeping quantities small and not stir-frying but letting the meat sit until it browns/chars, then flipping it to brown/char again, then stirring until all outward signs of rawness have disappeared.
The Slanted Door, a restaurant in San Francisco, does a wonderful "Shaking Beef" stir fry with filet mignon, garlic, watercress and red onion. I've made it a few times, the first time from a kit they sell out of the back of the restaurant, in a place called "Out The Door." They cut the filet into 1" chunks, not strips, and it comes out wonderfully tender and moist. Not an everyday stir fry, but a nice treat once in a while when the budget can swing it.
re: djh
You're right that the meat's cut into cubes but it's filet and the cubes aren't *that* big. And they also use the cooking technique I mention above (wonder whether they do in the restaurant). Here's a link to the script, btw. It's a great dish to serve with a gutsy California pinot noir.
re: carswell
editing post ... see link above for recipe. 1"x1" filet mignon. Thanks for the link! Saves me the guesswork next time I make it.
re: carswell
As noted, shaking beef (bo luc lac) is a bit different than a typical stir fry. It's more like a stand-in for a good steak than an actual stir-fry, and that's why you want very tender meat like filet. I've made it before, though, with whatever meat I had around, even skirt steak, and just cut smaller cubes if the meat is tougher.
For ordinary stir fries, a much cheaper flank or top round works great, but I definitely would not cook it more than a few minutes. So it doesn't toughen up by steaming, I usually need to cook the meat, take it out, then cook the vegetables and combine everything back at the last minute.
re: djh
Mark Bittman wrote about this dish a few years ago in the NYTimes:
His accompanying take on the original, for home cooks without serious BTUs:
Growing up, my mom used the cheapest cuts of beef she could find, and they always turned out tender. Personally, I usually use sirloin or flank steak. Here are some tips, regardless of what cut you use:
- Cut the beef against the grain and cut the strips thin and evenly sized. The easiest way to cut thin strips is to partially freeze the beef before slicing.
- After slicing the beef, add some soy, cooking sherry (or wine) and a couple of teaspoons of corn starch. Stir. The beef only needs to marinate for 15 - 20 minutes before cooking, so by the time you cut up your veggies, you'll be ready to go.
- HOT oil! Add garlic and/or ginger for a few seconds, then add beef. Stir fry for just a minute or two (not 6 - 8 minutes!). Basically, once the pink is almost gone, it's done. Remove the beef from the pan to a bowl and set aside.
- More hot oil in pan if needed. Stir fry veggies. When almost done, add beef (and collected juices) back into the pan, along with whatever additional "saucy" ingredients you want.
I promise your beef will be tender. Good luck!
re: TorontoJo
Yep, all great tips, just what I do, except I leave out the corn starch and put in a little sugar.
re: ChinoWayne
I'll have to try it with sugar. My understanding about the corn starch is that it actually helps break down the meat fibers and acts as a tenderizer (which is why you shouldn't add it more than the 15-20 minutes I mentioned, otherwise you will end up with mushy beef). Do you know if sugar does the same thing?
The other thing I like about using corn starch is that it acts as a thickener for the final sauce. Just me being lazy! :)
re: TorontoJo
Don't know about tenderizing, but I wouldn't think it needs it. I'm not in to putting corn starch in my stir fries very often, I'm more interested in the taste and feel of the meat and taste and crunch of the vegetables. I'm also afraid that with my heavy-hand, if I added corn starch to anything, I would end up eating a viscous pudding.
re: ChinoWayne
That's probably why I like it mixed into the meat. It seems to avoid the possibility of viscous sauce that you can get when you add the corn starch at the end of the stir fry. I only ever get the slightest thickening of the sauce -- just enough that the sauce coats the ingredients slightly, rather than being so thin that it just sits at the bottom. Regardless, I agree that there's nothing like a good stir fry with tender meat and crisp veggies!
re: ChinoWayne
the secret to chinese cooking IS cornstarch. It makes the sauce, glossy and not-watery, and it IS a tenderizer for beef. Sugar should be very minimal in any authentic chinese dish.
re: kongrid
What in cornstarch acts as a tenderizer?
re: KTinNYC
The cornstarch doesn't act as a tenderizer as such, but what it does is seal in the meat juices which keeps everything tender when the meat cooks.
re: TastyPete
TastyPete is right. I will tell a restaurant technique: baking soda. Put a little baking soda in your marinade.
Sugar is to help in two ways, 1. the taste wouldn't be just "dead salty". 2. preventing water in the meat to leak out into the marinade.
Cutting is the most important thing in stir fry. Cutting against the grain make the biggest difference. Then it's the marinade.
Massage the meat with the marinade. Do not just soak the meat in the mixture. The idea is to get the sauce into the meat, but many people at home marinade in the wrong way just to achieve the opposite - they dehydrate the meat because the salt causes the water in meat to flow out. This is why you need to have a little water and sugar in the marinade, and massage it.
re: TorontoJo
Good advice. I've used flank steak, skirt steak, top round, eye of round, tri-tip, and probably a few others that I don't recall right now. Just remember to cut across the grain. With some cuts of meat, such as tri-tip, you need to be careful because the grain goes in different directions.
Also, if you want bigger pieces of beef, follow the methodology described by TorontoJo, but cut at an angle. This means that your knife should not be perpendicular to the cutting board. This technique is difficult with skirt steaks because they are so thin.
re: KTinNYC
True. But the cornstarch will help thicken the sauce.
re: KTinNYC
Haven't you ever seen wok with yan? You add corn starch to EVERYTHING. ;)
re: RobotDeathSquad
Its called velveting the meat, http://www.seriouseats.com/2011/04/ve...
I chime in for flank steak cross cut thinly. I've also started experimenting with rib-eye cross-cut.
Marinade: (for about 1 lb of meat)
Soya sauce, 1/2 cup
Honey, 1/2 teaspoon
Mustard, 1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper, your preference
Brandy, 1 teaspoon
Cornstarch, about 1 tablespoon
Tepid water, 2 tablespoons
I usually add everything (except the starch and water) with the sliced meat and mix until evenly coated. I then mix in the cornstarch and water.
Cooking method as per TorontoJo.
I think the best for stir fry is flank steak. Place it in the freezer for a while and then slice paper thin across the grain.You can then cut the slices into shreds.The freezing makes it much easier to slice.
I do the same thing for Fajitas, slicing the beef a little thicker, then cutting into lone strips.
If you have an electric stove (as I unfortunately do), or just want a blisteringly hot pan for stir frying, you can preheat your wok or frying pan in a 500 or 550 degree oven. Just make sure you use a pot-holder or towel!
Thanks for your question. I was just making some Whole Foods stir fry beef and decided to google the same question you asked. Whatever cut they use is just plain impossible to chew - I cook it for a very short time, maybe 1.5 minutes, and it's still impossible to chew. Every single piece seems to have a muscle tissue or casing or something running through it that makes it impossible to chew. Is it sirloin? Not sure, but I think it's time we united and complained to the Whole Foods Gods.
I use Whole Foods sirloin tips which are very tender. I usually stir fry the aromatics, add the meat, in batches depending on the quantity, until it is just browned. I remove the meat from the wok and stir fry more aromatics, the vegetables and then the sauce. When the vegetable are done and the sauce is finished I add the meat back. Just toss it with everything else to warm, finish cooking and coat with sauce.
flank seems to be the clear favorite, but i've made very tasty and tender stir fries from skirt steak, too.
Flank Steak. Put it in the freezer for a little while; it makes it much easier to slice.
Slice very thin against the grain . Marinate and stir fry. If the meat is thin enough, you won't need to cook it more than a few minutes in a wok. It comes out very well.
The secret of keeping the beef tender is the speed at which it is cooked. To facilitate slicing, the beef is slightly frozen, enough to get it to begin the freeze, then it may be easily sliced very thin so it quickly cooks. Cutting the meat across it's' grain makes tougher cuts of meat seem tenderer.
A commercial wok is 55,000 to 85, 000 BTU which is probably at least 3 or 4 time hotter than your stove top. Don't despair! Take a cast iron or heavy copper bottomed fry pan and preheat it with out oil, until a drop of water will dance on its surface. Add oil, then immediately, as the oil smokes, add your thin cut beef. It will cook in under 2 minutes. Now add it to your wok and serve. If you watch Martin Yan marinate beef, notice is is always a short period (10 minutes), else the meat soaks up too much liquid which lowers the temperature of the pan excessively. Meats with little connective tissues shrink less when cooked. I use top sirloin.

Author - Generations of Cooking
I'm sure the best would be prime tenderloin but outside Ina Garten, I doubt anyone is gonna pay $25 a pound to stir fry.
I have been using Top Sirloin lately because angus and prime have been on sale where I live in Austin.
I wouldn't hesitate to use New York or Rib Eye if it was on sale.
I can't find it but I understand whatever Cook's Illustrated calls Flap meat would be good but I can't find it anywhere.
Tri tip would be a possibility.
If you start getting any tougher than that you might want to buy it pretty thin and use one of those multibladed tenderizer and marinate the beef with your soy sauce longer.
re: tonka11_99
Olivier's Butchery in San Francisco, always carry Bavette. It's another cut for Flap meat
I like my beef done medium-rare, so I use this method and it's super tender every time. Take a whole flank steak and marinade for a few hours to your liking, taking care to include something acidic like a T of lemon juice or vinegar. Then, heat a cast iron or heavy pan on super-high heat until it's blistering hot. i.e. as hot as possible without burning the place down. Slap the flank steak in their and stand back. Let it sear/char for maybe 2 or 2.5 minutes and then flip. Another 2 mins and it's done. Set aside and finish the rest of your stir fry (wipe the pan if it's full of blackened drippings). Then, slice it thinly across the grain and serve atop your veggies and rice. Works great in a fajita recipe too.

Nike "wars are heating up to a sweat" at the Univ. of NC Chapel Hill where one student group is "decrying Nike's alleged labor abuses in Southeast Asian factories," while another, calling itself "Support the Swoosh," is preparing a campaign to promote Nike, according to Jane Stancill of the Raleigh NEWS & OBSERVER. The dispute is "all part of the fallout" from UNC's recent 5-year, $7.1M, contract with Nike. The deal has become a "hot topic on campus, where students are debating the 'corporatization'" of UNC and Nike's "treatment of workers in Southeast Asia." In addition to "plastering" fliers on campus, Anti-Nike students are passing out petitions calling for UNC Chancellor Michael Hooker to set up a committee to look at the ethics of corporate contracts, and are organizing a letter-writing campaign to Nike CEO Phil Knight. Members of "Support the Swoosh" said they are looking to enlist UNC athletes to help them in supporting Nike (N&O, 10/1). URBAN DECAY? In an SGB cover-story, Andy Bernstein examines Nike's inner-city popularity and writes that "trend watchers say that the most influential sphere of the urban market is slowly losing its Nike appetite," as Nike has "become too big, too mainstream, and misfired too many times on styling and design" (SGB, 9/22 issue).

1. Amalfi Coast, ItalyImagine a wedding in a centuries-old church followed by an intimate dinner party in a tucked-away family-owned Italian restaurant, glasses clinking while wine and laughter flows. There is perhaps no place in the world more romantic than Italy and perhaps no region there more picturesque than the Amalfi coast. Perched high above the coastline, Ravello is an ancient town with spectacular vistas well-suited for sophisticates. For a more casual seaside affair, choose the tiny and stunningly beautiful town of Positano.2. Las Vegas, NevadaDespite what Hollywood would have us believe, most Las Vegas weddings are planned, well-thought out events as opposed to quickie ceremonies between people who've met mere hours before. Though more than 100,000 people choose Sin City for their weddings every year, Las Vegas is still the perfect destination for cutting-edge couples who rebuff tradition. Choose anything from an intimate ceremony on Bellagio's Terraza Di Sogna with the waters of the world-famous fountains dancing in the background to The Graceland Chapel -- site of many celebrity weddings and equipped with the capability to broadcast your wedding online for friends who can't make the trip.3. Maui, HawaiiThere are more than a few reasons Maui is one of the world's top honeymoon destinations, among them top-notch resorts, world-renowned surf, activities aplenty and sandy beaches ranging from white to black to red. These same traits are what make Maui such an idyllic wedding locale. Romantic moments are around nearly every bend in Maui, whether watching the sunrise atop Haleakala or simply strolling barefoot on the beach. An added bonus of tying the knot in Maui? You and your honey can just stay put for the honeymoon.4. MauritiusIt's been called "the island that inspired heaven," so what better place to begin a life of heavenly wedded bliss? It's relatively remote location - 500 miles east of Madagascar - has helped to preserve its pristine white-sand beaches, lush green mountains and cobalt-blue waters, but that's not to say there's any shortage of accommodations for you and your wedding guests. Luxury hotels like the Four Seasons Mauritius at Anahita are well-staffed with professionals able to assist with plans for a wedding on Mauritius from far away.5. Megeve, FranceFor couples who prefer snow to sand, a winter wedding in the French Alps is a natural choice. With its cobblestone streets, upscale shops and world-class restaurants, Megeve is everything one would expect from a tony Alpine ski resort. Despite the plethora of high-end tourists it attracts, moderately priced hotels and family-run bed-and-breakfasts are available in addition to the luxury hotels. Cozy up underneath a blanket in the back of a horse-drawn carriage or bundle up and wander the narrow streets hand-in-hand, either way, be prepared to succumb to romance.6. Nevis, British West IndiesWhen a bride imagines taking her vows on a beach at sunset, it's likely the Caribbean she's picturing. If it's solitude you seek, make a beeline to Nevis, part of the two-island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis. The islands, though a short ferry ride from one another, have entirely distinct personalities, with Nevis being the quiet, untouched sister island to St, Kitt's hustle and bustle. Nevis is all that's right with the Caribbean - beautiful volcanic ash beaches, full-service resorts and easy to get to - while still managing to feel like a well-kept secret. Nevis's legendary sunsets are the perfect backdrop for a Caribbean beach wedding and the stuff wedding photographer's dreams are made of.7. New York, New YorkNew York City has been the inspiration of countless songs, been the setting to blockbuster movies aplenty and is home to some of the world's most iconic sites. What better place to provide the backdrop for the most important day of your life? Forgo the traditional limo and use a taxi for transportation, choose an ornate hotel ballroom or stark loft for your reception, and afterwards, continue the celebration into the morning hours by taking part in New York City's unrivaled nightlife scene. There's nothing cookie-cutter about this city, and no shortage of ways to have a one-of-a-kind wedding.8. Orlando, FloridaPrincess dreams die hard, which makes Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando the ideal place for regular ladies who've managed to find their own Prince Charming to begin their happily ever after. With locales ranging from exotic gardens to waterfront pavilions, there's likely a place for nearly every taste. There's no location, however, better suited to carrying out a princess fantasy than Swan Boat Landing with Cinderella Castle as the backdrop. Complete the dream by choosing Cinderella's Coach, complete with six Welsh ponies and two footmen in full costume, as your transportation.9. Riviera Nayarit, MexicoEven couples who've traveled to Mexico many times have likely not been to Riviera Nayarit, a short drive north but seemingly a world away from the bustle of popular Puerto Vallarta. Stretching 100 miles along the Pacific Coast from Nuevo Vallarta in the south to San Blas in the north, the region is the home of all-inclusive megaresorts to tiny boutique hotels and everything in between. Depending on preference, a couple might choose to begin their lives in the laid-back surfer enclave of Sayulita or at one of Punta Mita's ultra-luxe beachfront resorts, like the St. Regis Punta Mita.10. San Diego, CaliforniaWeather is always at the top of the list of worries for brides to be. Though there are no guarantees, the odds of a sunny day are much higher when the wedding location is San Diego, California, home to some of the world's loveliest weather. 70 miles of white sand means plenty of options for laid-back lovers looking for a barefoot-on-the-beach ceremony, while the bustling Gaslamp Quarter is a perfect choice for couples who want a cosmopolitan locale in which to say "I do."

I am looking for the parents of " Ellen" (Philbrook) Harmon who was b. 8 May 1808/9. She m. Joseph Harmon who died at Waterville ME. 1840. They lived at New Glouchester, ME. for awhile. She died at Freeport, ME and is buried there with her last husband, Isaac Allen.She was a gr-gr-grandmother.
It was stated in the Harmon Genealogy that she was the d/o Ezekiel Philbrook,but upon further investigation we find that he would have been too young, having been b.20 Apr 1797. Perhaps he was a brother? We are fairly certain she had a sister, Mary, who m. Luther Rugg 26 Nov 1848 and was a nurse.
Any help would be appreciated.

... entire news coverage was on the widespread serious flooding and damage caused in the part of France that we are in with more of the same tomorrow. Cars have been washed away, transport disrupted, roads torn up. TV news the next morning estimated damage at 2 billion euro.

Le Mont Dore.
The next morning leaving Paris for Le Mont Dore we found the metro and made it to our first train. The first train was meant to be 3 hours, about an hour in we were informed very casually through one of the passengers translating that the train would be stopping for at least a 2 hour delay due to a tree falling on the tracks. All the French tutted and sighed, and joked about how when the French say 1 hour they mean much longer. So the train stopped on the tracks in a deserted town ...
