Across the country, school districts are bemoaning the decline of student scholastics, the manufactured hysteria about bullying and the cutting of budgets to public school systems that already cost way to much as is. However, simultaneously, we are seeing an absolutely terrifying rise in Orwellian technological privacy violations in public schools.
A teenage hacker apparently hacked into the San Antonio school district's system last week to protest the use of microchip-embedded cards that students must carry in order for the school district to track their every movement.
I am still relatively young but even I can hardly recognize the changing face of the modern public school system.
The student has not been identified, but his motives have been made clear. According to CBS in Houston,
"Starting this fall, all students at John Jay High School and Anson Jones Middle School are required to carry identification cards embedded with a microchip. They are tracked by the dozens of electronic readers installed in the schools' ceiling panels.
Northside has been testing a 'radio frequency identification' tracking system for the two schools to increase attendance in order to secure more state funding, officials have said. The program, which kicked off at the beginning of this school year, eventually could be used at all of Northside's 112 campuses, officials have said. The district is the fourth largest in Texas with more than 97,000 students."
I'm not sure how the tracking of humans with microchips can be so easily and calmly explained as if this is a normal thing to be doing. I, too, want students attending class, but I find myself asking, "At any point during the staff meetings, did nobody stand up to point out that this is not only a tremendous violation of privacy, but also something straight out of '1984' and, at the very least, creepy and unsettling?"
Apparently, I'm not the only one that thinks so.
"One John Jay student refused to wear the device, citing religious reasons, and then filed a lawsuit after Principal Robert Harris threatened to remove her from the school and stopped her from petitioning against the ID badge. Last week a judge said the principal's actions violated the student's speech and religious rights, and granted a restraining order barring Harris from removing her from the school, San Antonio television station KENS reported."
Good for her. However, there is a bigger trend occurring. Schools are now implementing palm scanners as a means of ID for such things as the lunch line and are being used by 50,000 students at 17 high schools and 20 middle schools. Soon, the program will expand to 60,000 more students at 80 elementary schools.
While palm scanners are not as bad as tracking devices, the bigger issue is that school districts are now putting the burden on parents to explain why they would not want their children tracked or their privacy otherwise violated.
When I went to school, we had numbers. You said your number and the money was deducted from your account. There's nothing wrong with this system and I am of the firm belief that the real value of these unnecessary and costly technological intrusions is to create the illusion of being watched and monitored in children early so as to make them unable to notice possible privacy intrusions later on.
Is there a massive conspiracy where all the principals get together to plot the programming of the next generation? No. Just like there is no conspiracy whereby all teachers plot to indoctrinate children with liberal propaganda. Still, all the same, it's happening with astonishing efficiency.
If we create an atmosphere of normality around authoritarian intrusions, how can we expect this next generation to regard freedom, liberty or independence as anything but vague, esoteric concepts? We must help create a generation of freedom-loving independents and, to do that, we must object to intrusions as we see them.

Before the Leaves Grow…
Miro… if you're reading… I pretty much just have one request. Right about now with the leaves off the trees you can get a fairly clear view from the base of Pearl Street where the fountain is, straight down to the waterfront. There's even something of a path on the hill there etched by folks seeking a short cut.
Take a walk down there sometime before the bloom and try to envision what it would be like to transplant the Spanish steps of Rome to that spot. That's a grand vision, but even a wooden staircase and/or ramp system would tremendously enhance the synergy between the Battery Park and the Waterfront by proving a direct pedestrian link between them.
If you do build a permanent stair and ramp structure in that spot, with benches, landscaping, fountains and amenities, it would be an instant tourist attraction. A vantage for sunset watchers, and a treasure that would last centuries, not decades.
In a hundred years nobody will remember if you fixed Burlington Telecom or fired Larry Kupferman, but if you give the city a grand public work made of stone and iron, then you do have a shot at immortality. As a developer, perhaps you can figure out how to do this project. I hope you can see it. I hope you can do it.

Ten Thousand Dollar Task Force
Breaking News
In an email with little precedent, Burlington's Community and Economic Development Office (CEDO) director Larry Kupferman told city councilors on Friday his office cannot afford to staff a task force which the council will vote on creating Monday night. With little explaination he estimates the council would need to give CEDO an additional $10,000 to staff a proposed new task force on urban agriculture.
Does this mean CEDO is now working at its maximum capacity and cannot take on any more work? If so, then shouldn't the council have been alerted to that a while ago?
Below the row of stars to follow is Kupferman's email and below the row of stars after that is the resolution to be discussed at the 03.21.11 city council meeting.

Subject: Urban Ag Task Force?
I notice that a council resolution entitled "Creation of Urban Agriculture Task Force" is scheduled to be discussed at Monday's meeting.
I have not been involved in the discussions that have led to this resolution nor consulted about the staff time required to staff a task force of this nature.
Based on my experience with past task forces staffed by CEDO, I will state now that the department does not have funds designated now or in the next budget year for such staff assignment. If Council does not appropriate a sum (I estimate $10,000) for this purpose, I am afraid it will be an unfunded mandate until a way to pay for staffing requirements is determined.
I'll be glad to discuss the intent of this resolution further before Monday night. Thank you.

Kupferman Confirmed, Gross Out
Larry Kupferman was just reconfirmed as CEDO director by the city council in an 11 to 3 vote with only councilors Keogh, Berezniak and Shannon voting against his re-appointment.
Shannon led the effort against Kupferman, essentially saying he lacked the skills and merit for the job, and alluding to specific concerns which she would not enumerate. "I don't see the point," she said about going into specific detail about those concerns.
The rest of the mayor's appointments were confirmed without discussion, including that of current airport director Brian Searles taking over as interim Parks and Recreation Director. Current director Wayne Gross, mayor Kiss explained, will not be an employee of the city as of July 1.

Dems Split on Kupferman
John Briggs at the Free Press has been blogging about how the Dems might not vote to reappoint Community and Economic Development Office (CEDO) directory Larry Kupferman at tonight's city council meeting, but he's failed to get any of them on the record about why. So I wrote to council Dem Ed Adrian and here's what he said-
"Haik –
I do not think that at this point the Ds are unanimous on this issue. Some will be voting to reappoint and some will not.
I cannot speak for anybody else, but I will be voting to reappoint. Two weeks ago the public was put on notice that there were concerns that have been raised privately about Mr. Kupferman's ability to do the job. So far, I am not aware of one person going public with their concerns. I was privately contacted by one person asking me to reappoint and one person asking not to reappoint.
I am not going to deny the Mayor an appointment based on private conversations/concerns. If people really are so concerned with the CEDO Director's abilities and they have concrete examples, then they should be willing to publically state what they are. I understand the counter-argument which is that it is the Council's responsibility and not the public's to vote on reappointment, but in this case I am erring on the side of caution since it concerns an individual, rather than a matter of policy.
So there you have it. Some folks might not like Kupferman, but they are too shy to say why publicly. Based on that I'd have to guess he'll win re-appointment.
What do you think about the new free press "City Hall" blog by John Briggs? Or Briggs's reporting in general for that matter? He's biased right? Doesn't he clearly seem to hate the mayor? I left a comment on his "Not Exactly" post chiding him a little for injecting his own opinions into the posts, and he still hasn't approved it. Funny how Steve Benen can write a national blog with thousands of comments and he doesn't feel the need to vet them first, but Briggs and the Free Press do. Weak.
If I can't get Paul Decelles on my "live at 5:25″ show tomorrow, I'll definitely fill some time on it soliciting callers' opinions on John Briggs's city hall coverage.

Karen Paul Brings It
So yes, I did go to the city council meeting on Monday, but I only stayed through the public forum which ended around eight o'clock. I even spoke, telling the council they should consider returning to the days when there was a Clerk and a Treasurer and not a botched conflation of the two in our so called "chief administrative officer." The chief administrative officer I said, is ultimately still the mayor.
I later heard that my speech sounded a little muddled, perhaps in part because I've had a cold. So I may have to return with my message again. But think about it. Since the advent of the "Clerk-Treasurer" which then morphed into the CAO position now held by Jonathon Leopold, we've had the council hoodwinked into granting a double pension for Brendan Keleher which will end up costing us nearly a quarter million dollars, we've lost our highly skilled professional city clerk Jo LaMarche, and been treated to the "Ben Pacy Amateur Hour" ever since.
Pacy has shown on multiple occasions that he isn't qualified to handle his job as Acting Clerk (Assistant Chief Administrative Officer). I mean, here we are suspending Adam Cate with pay for a third of a year because he may or may not have broken the law, while at the same time we know damn well Pacy broke the law three times in a row in March when he foolishly broke into the ward 7 ballot box. I was at the hearing about that incident, and he wasn't contrite about it in the least. Nor was Leopold. And he hasn't seen so much as a slap on the wrist. No formal sanction or reprimand. Nothing.
Pacy's crime may have been borne of incompetence and not malice, but its damage is arguably far worse than a few bucks stolen out of the boathouse cash register would be. Burlington's formally pristine and trustworthy elections now have a taint. Under the old way, when we had a separate and discreet Clerk's office, understudies were groomed to run elections, learning the sacred art in a deliberate process of professional maturation that takes years. Under the current structure, we grab some guy from the Parks Department and throw the poor bastard into the fire with no training whatsoever.
If it ain't broke don't fix it and when you're in a hole stop digging. I say we stop digging and go back to the way it was before we fixed it. because the reality is that right now Ben Pacy is the City Clerk, Jonathon Leopold is the City Treasurer and Bob Kiss, like it or not, is the Chief Administrative Officer.
So wasn't this post supposed to be about Karen Paul and how at the meeting she "brought it" to the the City Attorney vis-a-vis the Moran Plant? Yes. And she did bring it. And while I don't necessarily agree with my friends from the Green-Dem Alliance that we should tear down the building, I certainly don't see a problem bringing in another set of eyes to look at the agreements with the potential tenants of the building. I want to keep and retrofit the plant with the kids' museum, etc. But I certainly don't want the city to be left holding the bag. If Paul says there was an agreement to bring in outside lawyers, than there probably was. And that wouldn't be a bad idea.
In the Burlington Free Press, John Briggs quotes CEDO Director Larry Kupferman as saying "Outside counsel has not been part of our thinking. Nor has it been brought up by anyone else, until last night." That I doubt. I wish Briggs had asked Ken Schatz for a quote too.
Here's the money quote from Karen Paul who lead the successful effort to table the Moran Endeavor…
"I have told the city attorney I will not put my name on an agreement that has not been seen by an outside attorney with years of experience in this field," Paul said Tuesday. "Our potential tenants are getting this kind of advice. Why shouldn't we?"
Good on you, Karen Paul. Why shouldn't we indeed?

Sparks fly in Council Debates III
When we last left the Ward One debate between Independent Dick Bove, Progressive Megan Munson-Warnken and Democrat Ed Adrian- Bove was talking about how he tried to kill Urban renewal when he was on the council in the sixties, but then councilman (and later mayor) Francis Cain cast the deciding vote in favor of it.
Funny story about Frank Cain-When the cold war ended some friends and I cleaned out the bomb shelter in city hall and found these old reel to reel tapes recorded by mayor Cain to be played in the event of a nuclear war. You know- don't panic, stay in your homes- that sort of thing. I didn't hear the tapes but they came with written transcripts. Also in the bomb shelter? Saltines- lots and lots of saltine crackers in big metal canisters that were forty years old and rusting away. Nasty.
All right- let me write about this debate already-
Opening statements (continued):
Ed- living in Burlington since 1996. Concerned about "process." Examples of issues where he's had concerns about process: School Redistricting and YMCA. Wants to promote a family environment.
Megan- "Deeply invested in Burlington." "Every day we are walking, driving and biking in Burlington." "I can be a bold creative and very thoughtful voice for Ward One."
Call-in question: What's up with the openness of some local political caucuses and the closed nature of others?
Ed- SEI discussion has been too one-way.
Megan- Only a handful of people go to city council meetings.
Dick- Thank God for Channel 17.
Call-in question: What's the role of the city council in the school budget?
Megan- I'll know more "once I get in there and start asking those kinds of questions."
Dick- Easy question. The council doesn't have a role in the school budget. That's what the school board is for.
Ed- That's why we have a school board.
Question: Reaction to SEI Task Force?
Dick- We have to consolidate schools to keep taxes low.
Ed- If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Magnet elementary schools don't make sense. Ward One voters usually approve school budgets overwhelmingly. Happiness of the children is very important.
Megan- SEI task force has started "wildfires" but I'm not necessarily opposed to their ideas.
Question: Waterfront?
Ed- Keep the 'north forty' open. Rip down the Moran plant.
Megan- Maybe retrofit Moran.
Dick- Tony Pomerleau wanted a high-rise on the 40, but Bernie stopped it. The waterfront is "Bernie's field of dreams." YMCA deal was suspect because CEDO people were on the YMCA board of directors, etc. Rip down Moran. Fixing it up would be "throwing good money after bad."
Question: Main economic driver in Burlington?
Megan- UVM-FAHC, tourism and small biz.
Dick- Let's bring football back. Keep people living downtown. That's beautiful. Reduce bureaucracy at city hall.
Ed- Let's look beyond CEDO.
Question: Zoning Rewrite?
Ed- Very important process but hard to make it interesting for people.
Megan- Frustrated with zoning process. "Five years is a long time." (Note- Megan Munson-Warnken has only lived in Burlington about three years. Unless you happen to know that, it might sound like she's been watching the process for the last five years. She hasn't.)
Dick- Owners of historic houses in Burlington are getting totally screwed by a myriad of complicated regulations. (Teacher and Athena Club Chess Guy Bill McGrath recently testified to the city council regarding just this.)
Closing statements.
Blah blah blah. Ed announced his blog and actually gave out his cell phone number. That's incredible. I've never seen another candidate do that. Jerry Brown announced 1-800-426-1112 a lot in 1992 (a number he's used for subsequent campaigns) but Ed gave out his personal cell number. That's a clear signal he will be an accessible and engaging councilor if he wins the election.
Debate winner: Ed Adrian.
Next debate: Ward three incumbent Tim Ashe faces independent challenger Loyal Ploof. In a nutshell- Tim crushed Loyal twenty million to zero in their debate. Sorry Loyal. Tim was extremely articulate and clearly has commanding knowledge of the issues. Not to mention his positions are totally spot-on. Loyal…not so much.
Debate winner: Tim Ashe.
Coming Monday- I tell you who should win this year and why… Stay tuned!!

Burlington Progressives Caucus II
I. Welcome
Amy Stewart- chair Burlington City Progressive Committee
Colin Robinson- vice chair of the Burlington City Progressive Committee
Between 31-35 people attended.
II. Bob Kiss
Burlington Mayor Bob Kiss is introduced and speaks first.
BK- 'People were[2006] voting for the history the Progressives represent.' ' There is power in the mayor's seat and how that power is used makes a difference.'
Kiss said he had recently attended a design institute at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) with six other mayors, some of whom told him they wished they had some of Burlington's problems, such as traffic congestion in their downtowns. He said Burlington's "success story" was good but also posed some threats. "We don't want to become a Disney World." Kiss said.
Kiss said Progressives generally should keep focus on Housing, Healthcare, and from Burlington's perspective getting more PILOT (payments in lieu of property taxes from VT to the city for state owned buildings.) He mentioned something about "the Champlain Parkway" but in the interest of full disclosure I should tell you I'm not even sure what that is. Is that the same as the "southern connector?" Is that the thing that's cut in two by Pine Street down by K-mart? You'd think I would know something like that. Anyone who knows about the Champlain Parkway is invited to comment.
Kiss said that after many years of Clavelle in charge, aspects of city government are finally starting to reflect his own touch where changes have been made. Kiss quipped that he used to oppose extending the term of the mayor, but now as mayor appreciates having a third year. He said he came to the job "with a fair amount of knowledge," yet still has been learning a lot about Burlington's operation.
III. Dave Zuckerman and Chris Pearson
State Representatives Dave Zuckerman and Chris Pearson (both from Chittenden 3-4) spoke next. Chris Pearson was appointed by Governor Douglas last year to fill Bob Kiss's seat when he became mayor. In November he won election is his own right from 3-4 and has also been elected by the Progressive house caucus to be their leader. Chris reported to his party caucus that the Progressive delegation was receiving relatively good amounts of ink of late from the Burlington Free Press who, he said, had quoted him in all of, and Dave Zuckerman in two of the "four or five" stories about the new legislature thus far. Pearson said he was pleased with how Progressives were being treated by their counterparts from the other parties, and with his appointment to the government operations committee. He noted the start of a new Progressive Party Blog, and said he was going on the program "Under the Dome" with Mark Johnson Tuesday at eight o'clock. Zuckerman noted, among other things, that he had just been sent to the legislature for the sixth time.
IV. School Board Member and Candidate Introductions
School Commissioners Marissa Caldwell (W3) and Chris Haessly (W2) spoke next. Caldwell said the School Board had just passed a budget that included funding for a librarian at Barnes and a librarian at Wheeler, and for after-school programs used by seventy percent of the district's kids. Pearson said he is on the SEI (Socioeconomic Integration) task force. (He later told me he had a long SEI discussion with my across the street neighbor Tom the night before.) Pearson said it had been twelve years since there had been a "comprehensive look" at the district, and the he hoped more people would take a 'long term' view when it came to the mission of the board.
Then Chris asked that the meeting participate in a moment of silence for the ninety-fifth anniversary of the Bread and Roses strike and for the groundbreaking participation of women and immigrants in that event.
V. City Council Member and Candidate Introductions
Speaking from Ward Two was Jane Knodell who (You may recall Jane came in second in the "Crackpot Mock Poll" I took back in Whenever.) noting that she has served six non-consecutive terms on the city council, and is currently on the Board of Finance, said it is fun working under a new mayor with a fresh set of eyes. "There's always going to be a lot of push-back whenever changes are made," Knodell said "but we should be continually re-thinking service delivery."
Knodell said she had been involved with Burlington's Legacy Project with a focus on encouraging development in the urban core for to prevent sprawl and protect the environment. She said Barnes and Wheeler schools continue to be an important part of community development in the old north end and that she planned on helping "amp up" the city's fair housing efforts. Lastly she floated the idea of a downtown ice skating rink in Burlington à la Rockefeller Center.
Next up was Ward Three city councilor Tim Ashe who started out with great praise for the mayor who he said has been amazing in his ability to find savings in the city budget. He said it was great to work with Jane Knodell whom he described as "smarter than everyone else." Tim said he looked forward to continuing work on issues like development and housing.
VI. Ward Caucuses for Candidate Nominations
Both Knodell and Ashe were unanimously re-nominated on voice votes.
Now I'm not a reporter so I don't have to feel too bad about this, but there was a woman there by the name of Jen from Ward Two, who may have been nominated to run for school board, but I'm not sure. If anyone wants to fill me in, feel free.
VII. Dinner
VIII. Informal Questions and Answers.
People pretty much skipped to the Q&A while dinner preparations were underway. I think it's worthy of mentioning that the dinner immediately following the Progs caucus cost $3.00 per person whereas the dinner immediately following the Democratic Party caucus cost $25.00 per person.
I jumped over to the table at which sat Bob Kiss and Don Horenstein….
Coming up…
My conversation with Horenstein and follow ups with Bob Kiss and Jane Knodell in:

Marine base partially evacuates from wildfire
With PHOTO GALLERY
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (AP) — Crews built containment lines Sunday around a wind-driven wildfire that scorched more than 2 square miles of dry brush and forced people to evacuate part of a Southern California military base.
The blaze at the Marine Corps' Camp Pendleton was 15 percent contained and firefighters were trying to halt its movement toward the northeast, said Sgt. Christopher Duncan, a press officer for the Marines.

Coffee Makers
Proportion: Be sure to add the appropriate parts of coffee grounds and water. Too much water matched with too little coffee will end up with a watery taste, but not enough water can produce coffee that's bitter and strong. A good rule of thumb is to use two tablespoons of ground coffee for every six ounces of water.
Freshness: Invest in a coffee grinder or a coffee maker with an integrated grinding chamber, instead of buying preground mix. Fresh-ground coffee beans make the most flavorful brew. For a stronger taste, use a finer grind and a coarse grind for a weaker taste. Make sure to grind immediately before you brew for maximum flavor.
Storage: Refrain from storing coffee in the refrigerator or freezer unless you will not use it within two to three weeks. And if you do store it in the freezer, make sure to keep it in a dark, airtight container. The hazards of keeping your coffee in the cool too long may be lack of flavor, or it may pick up the flavors of other foods. It's best to purchase fresh coffee weekly or bi-weekly.
Water Filtration: Look for a coffee maker with built-in water filtration. Eliminating unwanted sediments is healthier and tastier.
Programmable: Let the coffee maker do the work for you! With a programmable option, brewing starts automatically at a specific time, and it even shuts off on its own for your peace of mind.
Pod Brewer: This type of coffee maker brews individually wrapped discs or "pods" of coffee grounds that are premeasured for convenience. Plus, they seal in flavor and freshness for perfectly brewed coffee or tea.
Percolator: This handy portable gadget repeatedly circulates water through coffee grounds, so you can control the taste by adjusting brewing time. It begins brewing instantly, continuing at a rate of about a cup a minute. Most percolators automatically switch to a "keep warm" setting when brewing is completed. And, oftentimes, the cord is detachable, so you can serve at your table — how convenient!
French Press: Simply pour hot water into the cord-free carafe, and add coarse ground coffee directly into the water. After the coffee has brewed for about 3-4 minutes, press down the plunger. A fine mesh filter forces the grounds to the bottom, and your coffee is ready to enjoy. This type of coffee maker usually also has temperature control and automatic shut-off features.
Thermal: Keep your coffee piping hot with an insulated thermal carafe. This is perfect for coffee drinkers who like to take their time enjoying each and every cup.
Coffee Reservoir: This type of coffee maker eliminates the need for a carafe because it houses a large quantity of coffee and dispenses it one cup at a time. Ideal for office settings!
Dual Travel Mugs: This special system allows you to brew a single mug or both at the same time. Plus, the mugs usually feature tight-fitting lids and slip-free grips and fit most car cupholders — perfect for coffee drinkers on the go!
Capacity: The first, most important, question you have to ask yourself is: How many coffee drinkers do you have in your household or office? Keep this in mind because coffee makers come in all shapes and sizes. They can range from 4-cup to 60-cup capacities! Typically, people choose 10- to 12-cup coffee makers because they offer the best of both worlds, meaning they can accommodate small and large groups of people, which is ideal if you happen to host a few dinner parties throughout the year.
Brew Pause: This option is necessary for those of us who lead fast-paced lifestyles. The "pause" feature (most commonly called Pause 'N Serve, Brew Pause, Sneak-A-Cup, etc.) lets you grab a cup of coffee even before brewing is complete. Some models also dispense only one cup at a time (i.e. Coffee on Demand), which is even better for households with lots of busy schedules or office settings.
Automatic Shut-Off: Coffee makers with this option shut off automatically after a specific period of time, so you don't have to remember to do it before you leave the house.
Integrated Grinding Chamber: Some high-end coffee makers house a grinding chamber that automatically grinds coffee beans and drops them into the coffee filter to brew, so you don't have to worry about grinding beforehand.
Quick Brew: This accelerated system makes a cup of coffee in about 30 seconds and tea in about 50 seconds — ideal for people who are truly on the go.
Water Filtration: Removes chlorine and impurities from the water source.
1-4 Cup Option: Slows down the water flow when brewing a lesser amount of coffee to maintain the same rich flavor as a large quantity.
Ground Saturation: A cascading brew head showers grounds evenly for better-tasting coffee.
Adjustable Temperature and Brew Selector: You choose the warmth and brew strength of your coffee, so it's exactly to your liking.
Cord Storage: Contains a hidden chamber in the back to hide the cord and save countertop space while the coffee maker is not in use.
Other Options
While many of us choose to jump start our day with a piping hot cup 'o joe, not everyone prefers just coffee. Listed below are options for other hot drink machines you may want to get in addition to your coveted coffee maker:
Hot Tea Maker: With an easy one-step heating, steeping and serving process, modern tea makers are perfect for a fast-paced morning. Large-capacity pots usually brew up to six cups at a time. And a removable steeping basket provides extremely easy filling and cleanup. Some even accommodate bagged or loose tea for convenience.
Cappuccino/Espresso Maker: Now you can produce café-quality espresso and cappuccino in the comfort of your very own home! Most cappuccino and espresso makers let you add water without turning off the power, like regular steam machines. Plus, they have powerful Italian pump systems and a steam nozzle that turns milk into no-fuss fluffy froth.
Grinders: Perfect for great-tasting, fresh coffee. Most grinders usually have tough stainless steel blades and a heavy-duty motor with a one-touch control button. A spacious grind chamber pours ground beans directly into the coffee filter.
Burr mills: Ideal for grinding large amounts of coffee. Uniformly grinds coffee beans for maximum flavor and aroma. Some feature multiple grind-level options, an automatic timer and even a removable grind chamber for easy pouring.
Basket filters: These disposable filters are made of thick, oxygen-pressed paper to trap oils and sediment while brewing. Usually available in round and cone shapes.
Permanent (or gold-tone) filters: They never need replacing! Most are cone- or round-shaped with an easy-lift handle for cleaning. And they carry a manufacturer's warranty in case of puncturing.
Carbon-based water filters: This filter usually lasts one month and removes bad tastes and odors from water. Use is dependent on type, brand and model number.
Charcoal water filters: This long-lasting filter removes chlorine, bad tastes and odors. Use is dependent on type, brand and model number.
Preserve it!
Like other kitchen electrics, your coffee maker needs proper cleaning. Select models include dishwasher-safe carafes, lids and removable filter baskets for cleanup convenience. Others have control pads that are sealed against splattering, making them extremely easy to wipe clean.
Some brands even feature a "time to clean" monitor that signals when cleaning is needed. Or, you can upgrade to a high-tech coffee maker with its very own self-cleaning cycle that automatically cleans itself for you — it can't get any easier than that!

text: Mover Scams to Avoid Industry veteran, Jack Doody former co-owner of Blue Chip Moving & Storage reveals red flags and answers common questions. By John Montorio Q: Do some moving companies secretly pump up your bill? A: Yes. A disreputable mover will give you a lowball estimate. Come the move, he'll walk around your house and say, "Oh, some of these things need to be packed." Then he'll charge you an exorbitant amount to do it. Or he might say, "Gee, we're going to have to take that bed apart." And then he'll tack on another ridiculous charge. Pamela Moore/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: What do you do if your mover arrives and you just don't get a good feeling when you meet? A: Did they say something that wasn't proper? Or is it just that they look a little rough? This is a tough business of hard physical labor. If it's a question of inappropriate behavior, get on the phone in two seconds with a manager. And do it before anything's on the truck. Roberto Gennaro/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: If you cancel, won't you still be charged, or at least lose a deposit? A: No, not if you're dealing with a reputable company. manley099/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: If your mover accepts cash only, is that always a red flag? A: That's not a red flag. That's "Run away!" Remember: You can't stop cash. You can stop a credit card. Joe Belanger/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: Is there anything that should make me wary? A: The mover doesn't want to come to your house to do an estimate. They want to do it over the phone. You're going to get screwed. Bill Crawford/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: What would be one of the worst decisions I could make? A: Your greatest nightmare is getting hooked up with an unlicensed mover. He not only lacks liability insurance, but also workers' comp. If one of these fellows trips and falls down your steps with a heavy piece, get out your checkbook, my friend. Chad McDermott/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: Are packing supply costs inflated? Do movers quietly waste rolls of tape and miscount boxes? A: Nah, that's not where the gouging comes in. Again, the bandit mover will start adding stuff that isn't on your estimate. He'll charge you for each moving pad pads are free, by the way and then $4 to tape the pads to the furniture. Or they'll say certain items suddenly need special boxes. And guess what? They're $12 each. Frances Twitty/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: What should you do if it seems your movers are wasting time, and you're paying by the hour? A: Many people have an unrealistic expectation of the time it takes. People have complained that they paid for three movers, but they only see two guys moving stuff. Where's the third? He's on the back of the truck wrapping and packing. No crew wants to dog the job. They want to get home, sit down, and have a beer. kajetan/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: What do you say if you don't like the way the movers are handling your beloved things? A: Be direct. Say, "Hey, you're making me nervous." If they're throwing stuff around or seem to be careless, you stop the job. Alert your estimator that you don't know what's going on, but he's going to have a claim for damages if things don't improve. He'll get a supervisor out there, pronto. No reputable mover wants a problem. Mark Wragg/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: Do things ever "disappear?" How do you protect yourself? A: If you're going to have underpaid and undervalued and sometimes inadequately screened strangers move your jewelry, you're asking for trouble. Lukas Wroblewski/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: Can something really "fall off the truck?" A: Let's just say, some things can get "lost." Video games, small electronics, CDs, pet gerbils, you should probably move yourself. Gokhan Ilgaz/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: Do movers have secret ways of "punishing" clients who rub them the wrong way? A: You bet. If they really feel they've been abused and disrespected, they'll want to get away from the bad client and get the job done as quickly as possible. They'll wind up putting a lot more boxes in the garage than there need to be and quietly mumble, "Let them lug 'em in the house themselves." As an added tweak, they'll flip the boxes so you can't read the labels to see what's in them or where they go. Martti Salmela/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: Is there a particularly bad time of year for a move? A good time? A: Late May through August is jammed. The best time is around Christmas. Nigel Carse/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: If I'm moving, say, a piano or a snowmobile or an artwork, should I use a specialty mover? A: Anybody can move a piano or a snowmobile. But if you have museum-quality art, call in Pierre or André with the white gloves. Frances Twitty/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: What should I do about items that need to be disassembled and then reassembled? A: Standard. They should be part of your written estimate. And the crew is responsible for bringing the right wrenches and tools. Daniel Loiselle/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: Are there ever any items that are not covered for damage or loss? A: The contents of boxes you pack. You might pack them wrong. You probably will pack them wrong. Kuty Tanir/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: What should you do if a mover simply fails to resolve a complaint? A: Register a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. It'll lower his rating and hurt his business. Then, take him to small-claims court. No mover in his right mind wants to stand before a judge who probably has had two bad moves in his life. Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: How can I help make your job easier on the day of the move? A: When the crew gets there in the morning, tell them right off that you're going to buy them lunch. Sometimes guys on the crew don't have the money or the time. This small gesture can lift the whole spirit of the move. Also, be ready when the movers get there. Be fully packed. Then, please stay out of the way. Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: What's the absolute worst thing I could do during a move? A: Be dismissive. Treat the crew like dirt. Don't let them use your bathroom. Jo Unruth/istock Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Q: If you could correct one common misconception about professional movers, what would it be? A: That they're brainless gorillas. They're diamonds in the rough with hearts as big as Texas.

As you are probably are aware of at this point, the powers that be in the United States Government have become embroiled in a disagreement that has resulted in many factions of the federal government being closed until further notice. While the shutdown will obviously be temporary, there are some affected areas in the interim and certain destinations and attractions which are no longer open to the public. Besides the symbolism of the government's Twitter account being shutdown, there is perhaps no other greater symbolic closing than the Statue of Liberty being blocked. In addition to the Statue of Liberty being closed, Ellis Island and the George Gustav Heye Center of the National Museum of the American Indian are also shutdown.

Atoms for Peace share deluxe AMOK artwork, live video of 'Judge Jury and Executioner'
published15 Feb 2013
Thom Yorke and company hide another Easter Egg on their website.
Atoms for Peace has once again used their interactive website to reveal new music, or in this case, a performance of 'Judge Jury and Executioner' at Japan's Fuji Rock festival. To find the clip yourself: look for a little man in a boat (subtle) amidst the eyeball-like meteors that are raining down on a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. Otherwise, we've embeded it below.
Additionally, XL Recordings have revealed the deluxe edition packaging for Atoms for Peace's forthcoming debut, Amok (take an animated look at it below, via Pitchfork). Atoms for Peace will celebrate the release of AMOK with DJ gigs in London, Berlin and New York. FACT recently sat down with Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich.

Extramarital Cohabitation Agreements Are Enforceable In Florida
Many people ask if there is a recourse for division of assets or alimony arising out of the break up of a non-marital relationship. This type of legal action is usually termed "palimony" (the most famous involving actor Lee Marvin in the early 1970's) and involves an unmarried relationship's former partner suing the other partner in order to obtain a share of the property accumulated during the relationship as well as payments to compensate for domestic services rendered during the course of the cohabitation. In Florida there is no recognized right of an alimony-like award of funds arising out of a non-marital relationship. However, if there had been some contract between the individuals, such as a written, pre-nuptial-like agreement, or even an oral agreement during the relationship, that would be enforceable as any other contract. In the Tampa area appeals case of Crossen v. Feldman, 673 So.2d 903 (2DCA 1996), it was decided that an unmarried couple who orally agreed to specific terms for their unmarried relationship could have a legally enforceable contract and that the woman could enforce the agreement as a contract where she had quit her job, agreed to have a child and live with the man in exchange for monetary support.
Same-sex "Palimony" Under a Valid Cohabitation Agreement? Same Result.
Another Florida case deciding the same outcome for an unmarried couple is even more interesting because it involved a same-sex couple. In the Florida appellate case of Posik v. Layton, 695 So.2d 759 (5DCA 1997), the parties were a physician and a nurse at the same hospital, where they met. Posik, the nurse, agreed to quit her job and move to another county to live with the physician, Layton, and to perform domestic services for life. In exchange, Layton agreed to monetary support for life of Posik and if the two remained together until Layton died, to leave the estate to her. After the two parties broke up and Layton refused to pay, Posik sued under the written agreement. The appellate court found that the agreement was just as enforceable as any other contract would be.
There Are Strict Legal Requirements For Cohabitation Agreements
Anyone considering a long-term cohabitation arrangement with a romantic partner without getting married should insist upon entering into a valid cohabitation agreement. Such an agreement should be in writing, and if real estate, probate matters or actions meant to last for more than one year are covered in the agreement, they must meet certain legal requirements, such as being made in writing, witnessed by at least two witnesses and notarized.
Oral agreements can be enforced as contracts also, although they must be provable and must not fall within one of several exceptions of the law which invalidate an oral agreement. Such an oral contract would have to be provable and legally sufficient to be enforceable. If the couple had made oral agreements which are capable of proof as to splitting property or for future payments, then a Florida court would recognize those matters under contract law or property law, subject to the same exceptions noted above, particularly as to agreements involving real estate, probate and actions meant to last for more than one year.
Domestic Services Must Not Include Sexual Services!
It is also very important that any cohabitation agreement clearly specify the terms of the agreement as to what duties the contract call for and that none of those duties involve sexual acts, or as the law terms them "meretricious services". Because any cohabitation agreement which contemplated payments or property divisions based even partly upon sexual services would constitute unlawful prostitution, such contracts would be considered repugnant to Florida social policy and unenforceable by the courts.
Even if no formal contract or agreement was entered into before or during the course of the relationship, a former romantic partner may be able to obtain a division of property or assets if the couple had entered into mutual business dealings, joint property ownership or had materially contributed to payments or improvements to real property.
Make Them In Writing, With Full Financial Disclosure, Witnesses and With The Help and Advice of Attorneys
Because cohabitation agreements are often meant to provide for significant and life-long terms and often involve one party giving up employment, relocating and agreeing to provide long-term domestic services as well as make monetary contributions to the residence and support of the other partner, such agreements should always be carefully drafted in writing with the help of an experienced attorney. In addition in order to prevent future claims of duress or unconscionable fraud in inducing the partner to sign the agreement, it is important that fair and reasonable financial disclosure of both assets and debts and obligations be made by each party to the other before the agreement is signed. Both parties should ideally have the agreement reviewed by their own attorneys also. Although these precautions often seem like over-kill at the time of entering into such agreements, they are essential to prevent future attacks on the validity of the agreement.
Common Law Marriages in Florida?
Common law marriage is not recognized under Florida law, except in certain circumstances. A common law marriage is one in which the parties are not formally married, but they have lived together for a certain period of time and, importantly, have held themselves out as husband and wife to the community. Common law marriages have been abolished in Florida, however certain other states still recognize them. Although in Florida law a common law marriage does not exist, Florida courts will still recognize a common law marriage that was validly entered into in another state. However, the limited legal situations in which Florida courts will recognize even an out of state common-law marriage would not include family law actions such as divorce, alimony or equitable distribution of property. But just the same as with other non-marital domestic relationships as mentioned above, many of the same benefits of a recognized common-law marriage can be provided for by a carefully planned and drafted cohabitation agreement.

Artabanus II of Parthia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For another ruler also known as Artabanus I, see Arsaces II of Parthia.
Artabanus II of Parthia (Persian: اردوان دوم) ruled the Parthian Empire from c. 126 to 124 BC.[1] The son of Phriapatius, he succeeded his nephew Phraates II and died, just like his predecessor, in battle against the Tochari - a name commonly identified with the Yuezhi of the Chinese sources, who had fled from Gansu in northwest China, via the Ili River and Issyk Kul region and then through Dayuan (Ferghana) into Daxia or Bactria, and apparently also invaded the eastern territories of Iran:
- "Bello Tochariis inlato, in bracchio vulneratus statim decedit"
- "During the war against the Tokharians, he was wounded in the arm and died immediately" Justin, Epitomes, XLII,2,2.
He is perhaps identical with the Artabanus mentioned in Trogus, Prologi, xli, 5.

Physical activity is essential for lifelong health and well-being. A child can't be healthy if he or she isn't playing actively or exercising most days of the week.
One of the very best things you can do for your children's health is to help make physical activity a habit—something that will be a natural part of their daily lives through adulthood.
Experts recommend that teens and children (starting at age 6) do moderate to vigorous activity at least 1 hour every day.1 And 3 or more days a week, what they choose to do should:
It's okay for them to be active in smaller blocks of time that add up to 1 hour or more each day.
Children need an hour of vigorous exercise—something that makes them breathe hard—at least 3 times a week.
Children should be active at least 1 hour every day. But at least 3 days a week, that 1 hour of exercise should be vigorous enough to make them breathe hard.
Children should be active at least 1 hour every day. But at least 3 days a week, that 1 hour of exercise should be vigorous enough to make them breathe hard.
Helping your child to be active is one of the very best things you can do for his or her health.
Improving your child's fitness may boost his or her academic performance, self-esteem, and mental health. It will also help your child avoid becoming overweight, which can lead to many other health problems.
Childhood is the best time to learn healthy habits that can last a lifetime.
Remember that your child's habits start with you. You are the role model. Your habits affect your children's habits.
If physical activity is a habit for you, it will more likely become a habit for your children.
It is important that your children have fun, so don't force them to exercise. Instead, find activities that they like to do and will do without being asked. You can help them stay active and healthy if you:
As you make plans to encourage physical activity, think about the problems that might keep your child and family from being physically active. Common things such as bad weather, busy schedules, or just being tired can happen all too easily. Have other options so that you and your child stay active.
It's not important that my child has fun, as long as he or she is getting needed exercise.

|Translated by Ralph T.H. Griffith
1. LET thy Bay Horses, yoked, O mighty Indra, bring thy car hither fraught with every blessing. For thee, the Heavenly, e'en the poor invoketh: may we this day, thy feast-companions, prosper. 2. Forth to the vat the brown drops flow for service, and purified proceed directly forward. May Indra drink of this, our guest aforetime, Celestial King of the strong draught of Soma. 3. Bringing us hitherward all-potent Indra on well-wheeled chariot, may the Steeds who bear him Convey him on the road direct to glory, and ne'er may Vayu's Amrta cease and fail him. 4. Supreme, he stirs this man to give the guerdon,-Indra, most efficacious of the princes,- Wherewith, O Thunderer, thou removest sorrow, and, Bold One! partest wealth among the nobles. 5. Indra is hewho gives enduring vigour: may our songs magnify the God Most Mighty. Best Vrtra-slayer be the Hero Indra these things he gives as Prince, with strong endeavour.
