Toward a North American economic community.
In Canada, Maude Barlow gave a stirring speech criticizing the free-trade agenda of the Summit of the Americas.
A campaign to help sick people in need of unaffordable medicines is clashing with forces in the global pharmaceutical industry.
With NAFTA as an ugly precedent, the proposed trade pact is generating serious opposition from a number of social and economic sources.
When NAFTA was adopted in 1993, Chapter 11 in the trade and investment agreement was too obscure to stir controversy. Eight years later, it's the smoking gun in the intensifying argument over whether globalization trumps national sovereignty. Chapter 11 established a new system of private arbitration for foreign investors to bring injury claims against governments. As the business claims and money awards accumulate, the warnings from astute critics are confirmed--NAFTA has enabled multinational corporations to usurp the sovereign powers of government, not to mention the rights of citizens and communities.
The issue has exquisite resonance with the present moment. On April 20 thirty-four heads of state gather in Quebec City to lead cheers for a Free Trade Area for the Americas. The FTAA negotiations are designed to expand NAFTA's rules to cover the entire Western Hemisphere. The Quebec meeting should provide good theater but not much substance. Tony Clarke of the Polaris Institute, in Ottawa, says the meeting is intended to be "a face lift for the whole global agenda, by portraying free trade as democracy." Protesting citizens will be in the streets, challenging 6,000 police and Mounties, with an opposite message: Democracy is threatened by the corporate vision of globalization.
Chapter 11 of NAFTA should become a defining issue for FTAA negotiations. Many, including Clarke, vice chairman of the Council of Canadians, believe corporate governance was and is the FTAA's intent. "There is a conquering spirit at the heart of all this," he says, adding that the corporations' attitude is: "We have to get into every nook and cranny of the world and make it ours."
Chapter 11 provides a model of how this might be accomplished. The operative principle is that foreign capital investing in Canada, Mexico and the United States may demand compensation if the profit-making potential of their ventures has been injured by government decisions--"tantamount to expropriation." Thus, foreign-based companies are given more rights than domestic businesses operating in their home country. For example:
§ California banned a methanol-based gasoline additive, MTBE, after the EPA reported potential cancer risks and at least 10,000 groundwater sites were found polluted by the substance. Methanex of Vancouver, British Columbia, the world's largest methanol producer, filed a $970 million claim against the United States. If the NAFTA panel rules for the company, many similar complaints are expected, since at least ten other states followed California's lead. The federal government would have to pay the awards. California State Senator Sheila Kuehl and others have asked the US Trade Representative to explain how this squares with a state's sovereign right to protect health and the environment.
§ In Mexico, a US waste-disposal company, Metalclad, was awarded $16.7 million in damages after the state of San Luis Potosí blocked its waste site in the village of Guadalcazar. Local residents complained that the Mexican government was not enforcing environmental standards and that the project threatened their water supply. Metalclad's victory established that NAFTA's dispute mechanism reaches to subnational governments, including municipalities.
§ In Canada, the government banned another gasoline additive, MMT, as a suspected health hazard and one that damages catalytic converters, according to auto makers. The Ethyl Corporation of Virginia, producer of MMT, filed a $250 million claim but settled for $13 million after Canada agreed to withdraw its ban and apologize.
§ The Loewen Group Inc., a Canadian operator of far-flung funeral homes, lodged a $750 million complaint against the United States, claiming that a Biloxi, Mississippi, jury made an excessive award of $500 million when it found Loewen liable for contract fraud against a small local competitor.
§ Sunbelt Water Inc. of California has filed the largest and most audacious claim--seeking $10.5 billion from Canada for revoking its license to export water by supertanker from British Columbia to water-scarce areas of the United States.
§ Canada's Mondev International is claiming $50 million from the United States because the City of Boston canceled a sales contract for an office building with a shopping mall. Boston invoked sovereign immunity against such lawsuits and was upheld by a local judge and the Massachusetts Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal. So the company turned to NAFTA for relief.
"When just the threat of a Chapter 11 action may suffice to wrest a financial settlement from a government, investors have unprecedented leverage against states," Lydia Lazar, a Chicago attorney who has worked in global commerce, wrote in Global Financial Markets magazine. Mexico, Canada and the United States effectively waived the doctrine of sovereign immunity, she explained, when they signed NAFTA.
As many as fifteen cases have been launched to date, but no one can be sure of the number, since there's no requirement to inform the public. The contesting parties choose the judges who will arbitrate, choose which issues and legal principles are to apply and also decide whether the public has any access to the proceedings. The design follows the format for private arbitration cases between contesting business interests. With the same arrogance that designed the WTO and other international trade forums, it is assumed that these disputes are none of the public's business--even though public laws are under attack and taxpayers' money will pay the fines. The core legal issue is described as damage to an investor's property--property in the form of anticipated profits. The NAFTA logic thus establishes the "regulatory takings" doctrine the right has promoted unsuccessfully for two decades--a retrograde version of property rights designed to cripple or even dismantle the administrative state's regulatory powers. "NAFTA is really an end run around the Constitution," says Lazar.
The fundamental difference in Chapter 11, unlike other trade agreements, is that the global corporations are free to litigate on their own without having to ask national governments to act on their behalf in global forums. Clearly, some of the business complaints so far are more exotic than anyone probably anticipated. These initial cases will set precedents, however, that major global firms can apply later. If nobody stops this process, the national identity of multinationals will become even weaker and less relevant, Lazar points out, since they have status to challenge government as "an open class of 'legal equals.'"
In Canada a private lawsuit was filed recently challenging the constitutionality of Chapter 11, since Canada's Constitution states that the government cannot delegate justice to other bodies. The Canadian government, itself embarrassed by the cases against it, expressed doubt that Chapter 11 should be included in the hemispheric agreement, though it appears to be backing away from outright opposition. In US localities, the cases are beginning to stir questions, but lawmakers and jurists are only beginning to learn the implications.
Does George W. Bush understand what he is proposing for the Americas? Did Bill Clinton and Bush the elder understand the fundamental shift in legal foundations buried in NAFTA's fine print? They knew this is what business and finance wanted. As the public learns more, the smoking gun should become a focal point in this year's trade debate, confronting politicians with embarrassing questions about global governance. Who voted to shoot down national sovereignty? Who crowned the corporate investors the new monarchs of public values?
Many compared it to marching through a dream.
After seven years under siege by 70,000 Mexican Army troops in the
jungles and highlands of Chiapas, the Zapatista National Liberation
Army (EZLN) sent twenty-four delegates, including its pipe-smoking
writer-spokesman Subcomandante Marcos, on a triumphant two-week
motorcade that landed in Mexico City on March 11.
"I don't
believe that in any place, in any space in this world--and I have the
memory of my own revolution twenty-six years ago--I don't remember a
more moving moment than I lived yesterday," declared the
septuagenarian Portuguese Nobel Prize-winning author José
Saramago the next morning.
The US press coverage of the
march, limited though it was, hinted at such an apotheosis: the
cheering multitudes that greeted the Zapatistas from the roadsides
and at mass rallies in twelve states along the route, the flowery
words of peace and civil rights coming to Mexico's mythical newfound
democracy. But for the Zapatistas and Mexico's indigenous movement,
the struggle now turns into a battle to codify the movement's
progress into law.
The caravan came to demand
constitutional recognition for Mexico's 10 million indigenous
citizens, subjected to generations of repression, poverty, racism and
exploitation of their lands and labor. As Mexico's President Vicente
Fox passed his hundredth day in office, he reiterated calls to the
Zapatistas to negotiate a peace. Not until the government fulfills
the promises it has already made, answered the rebels: release of
Zapatista political prisoners, closure of seven of the 259 military
bases in Chiapas, and congressional passage of the law that would
ratify the 1996 San Andrés peace agreements signed by the
government [see Jerry W. Sanders, "Two Mexicos and Fox's Quandary,"
February 26].
The geographical advance was accompanied by a
steady rise in the popularity of Marcos and the Zapatistas in opinion
polls, an average gain of two percentage points per day, with over 50
percent in support. The implementation of the San Andrés
Accords is now the sticking point. Marcos and the Zapatistas, with
more than 1,000 delegates from the Indigenous National Congress,
encamped at the base of Mexico City's Cuicuilco pyramid--a circular,
370-foot-diameter stone monument that has survived at least 2,600
years of lava flows, earthquakes and urban
Underscoring their credo, "We will not sign a false
peace," the Zapatistas caused a fierce uproar when, as the caravan
was launched from San Cristóbal, Chiapas, they named architect
Fernando Yáñez Muñoz as their representative to
the federal Congress. Mexican police agencies have long claimed that
Yáñez is Comandante Germán, the feared national
guerrilla leader of the 1970s and '80s who, they say, helped found
the Zapatista army in the jungle in 1983, a charge that
Yáñez has denied. The Zapatistas have also, for the
first time, called upon other guerrilla movements to protect their
journey and remain alert, implying that if the state doesn't keep its
word, an armed guerrilla response could explode
María Luisa Tomasini, 78, a Chiapas
native designated by Marcos as the "grandmother of all the
Zapatistas," analyzed his call to the other insurgent groupsas she
was returning from the March 7 Zapatista rally in Iguala, Guerrero, a
state with at least sixteen armed clandestine guerrilla
organizations. "Clearly," she said, "it was a threat to the
government that it had better comply."
The powerful sectors
that have always gotten their way in Mexico--bankers, chambers of
commerce chiefs, right-wing clergy, the TV networks and key
legislators--are working furiously to sabotage the road to a genuine
peace. Fox's party, the PAN, teamed up with the former ruling party,
the PRI, against the left-wing PRD party to propose that the
Zapatistas meet with twenty congressional leaders instead of the
entire Congress. Marcos, noting that the indigenous of Mexico have
always been hidden "in the kitchen, on the back porch," rejected the
offer, arguing that the Zapatistas and the Indigenous National
Congress deserve to address the whole Congress. Hard-liners continue
to seek any roadblock to passage of the full indigenous rights bill
with hysterical claims that autonomy would fracture the nation, and
they vow radical surgery to the initiative.
On March 19 the
Zapatistas announced they will return to the jungle, citing the
"close minded" attitude of "cavemen politicians," saying, "Nothing
will be able to stop the popular mobilization" that stems from the
Congress's failure to act. "We will return with everyone who we are."
Immediately, thirteen national peasant-farmer groups pledged
nationwide marches, students plotted direct action and five major
indigenous groups in Oaxaca vowed to close the Pan American Highway
until Congress passes the accords. Congressional leaders begged the
Zapatistas to stay, Fox urged the Congress to meet with the rebels
and the drama now moves in unpredictable directions.
guiding principle of the San Andrés Accords is autonomy. The
word has galvanized many beyond Mexico's indigenous populations. The
battered Mexican left--peasant farmers, urban workers and especially
the nation's youth--view themselves, too, under the banner of
autonomy. Indeed, the popularity of the Zapatista struggle around the
world derives at least in part from the coherent language of
opposition to globalized and savage capitalism that they have
constructed. French sociologist Alain Torraine, who accompanied the
caravan, praised the Zapatistas during a March 12 discussion with
Marcos and the comandantes in Mexico City, marveling, "The entire
world, and we are speaking of the left, is looking for a new
language." Comandante David, a Tzotzil delegate who was a chief
negotiator and architect of the San Andrés Accords,
acknowledges that the demand for autonomy goes far beyond indigenous
rights. "We are going to explain directly to the indigenous and
nonindigenous brothers of the country that indigenous rights are for
the good of all the peoples," he said while preparing to leave on the
Autonomy--what might be called "home rule" in
other parts of the world--includes local control of land use, a sore
point for big business in Mexico, its eyes on natural
Beyond Mexico, US investors and corporate
interests, with expectations that Fox will be the most effective
deliveryman yet of Mexican resources under NAFTA, are stoking the
subterfuge. Former US Ambassador to Mexico James Jones, now a
railroad baron and rainmaker for the Manat, Phelps and Phillips law
and lobbying firm in Washington, is on the board of directors of TV
Azteca, the most notorious manipulator of public opinion among all
the Mexican media. TV Azteca joined the other broadcasting giant,
Televisa, to present a March 3 Concert for Peace live from Aztec
Stadium, featuring a laser light show, a Woodstock-style logo and the
usual condescension toward "our indigenous brothers." The prepackaged
video aired with the concert didn't mention autonomy, or indigenous
political prisoners, or 500 years of conquest--certainly not justice
in connection with the 1997 massacre of unarmed indigenous peasants
at Acteal. The only proposed solution was to send aid to the poor,
barefoot indigenous communities, an approach known in Mexican
politics as "clientism." Many analysts saw Fox's fingerprints on the
TV peace show, as both stations rely on state permission to broadcast
in Mexico. Indeed, one of the demands of the San Andrés
Accords is the right of indigenous peoples to break that control by
forming their own media, including the use of radio and television
The question of indigenous autonomy also has
consequences for the US-imposed "war on drugs." The San Andrés
Accords would restore indigenous rights to the use of currently
illicit sacred plants and codify the pre-eminence of ancient forms of
community justice. Luciano, a spokesman for the Zapatista community
of Polho, explained to me in 1998 how the autonomous system works
without constructing a single prison cell: "If a young man grows
marijuana, he goes before a municipal judge to be disciplined and
oriented so that he won't ever do it again. If the youth does it
again, there is no response whatsoever: He cannot be pardoned a
second time. He would then be expelled from the
That the Zapatista communities have had far
more success in driving out the narcotraffickers and preventing drug
and alcohol abuse than any other region of the Americas is of little
concern to the big talkers of law and order. Opponents charge that
autonomy in matters of criminal justice would "balkanize" the country
and subvert the "rule of law."
Indigenous and social
movements across Latin America--in Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia, Peru,
Panama, Brazil and other nations--had representatives quietly
observing the caravan. In spite of the powers stacked against them,
the Zapatistas, newly strengthened, their national support deepened,
have many cards yet to play in forcing legislative victory. In the
latest of the ironies under NAFTA, autonomy may thus, and soon,
become Mexico's leading export product.
Multinationals, their intellectual coverings shredded, are love-bombing labor while hunting for new fig leaves.
At Brazil's "counter-Davos," democracy was in; elitism, corporations were out.
His dream is an open northern border. But first, he must end southern poverty.
For more than two years, the antisweatshop movement has been the hottest political thing on campus [see Featherstone, "The New Student Movement," May 15, 2000]. Students have used sit-ins, rallies, hunger strikes and political theater to demand that garments bearing their institution's logo be made under half-decent working conditions.
From the beginning, the major players were students and administrators. While some progressive faculty members--mostly from sociology departments--offered the students early support, economists, who like to think of their discipline as the queen of the social sciences, kept fairly quiet.
That changed this past July. After colleges and universities made a number of visible concessions to the students over the spring, a group of some 250 economists and lawyers released a letter to administrators, basically complaining that they hadn't been consulted. The letter, initially drafted by Jagdish Bhagwati of Columbia University and burnished to perfection by a collective of free-trade zealots calling themselves the Academic Consortium on International Trade (ACIT), reproached administrators for making concessions "without seeking the views of scholars" in relevant disciplines. Judging from their letter, the views of these scholars might not have been terribly enlightening. On page 24 of the magazine, the ACIT missive appears with some comments (see "Special" box, right).

Osho continues:
"Just the vision will change you at least, will shift your being from the past to the future. In a certain way you will start living the new man, who has not yet come. You will start living the new man in small ways, and each moment of that living will be a blessing. As you become acquainted, within yourself, with the explosion of the new and the destruction of the old, you are changing, you are going through a revolution.
"I am interested in you. Who cares about what is going to happen after a hundred years? Something must be going to happen, but it is not our business. When I talk about the new man I am really talking about you, for you to become aware of the possibility, because that very awareness will change you. I am not interested in the future; I am simply interested in the immediate present.
"The future will go on for eternity, but if your mind can be cleaned of the past rubbish, and if you can see the faraway rising sun. I am not interested in the sun, I am interested in your vision, in your capacity to see, in your understanding, in your hope that it is possible. That very hope will become a seed in you. The new man will come whenever it has to come. But the new vision can come right now.
"With the new vision, you participate in a subtle way with the man who has not come yet, with the humanity who is still in the womb. You start having a synchronicity, a certain relationship. Your roots from the past start dropping, and you start growing your roots into the future.
"My interest, I repeat, is basically in you. I am neither interested in the past, nor in the future. I talk about the past so you can get rid of it; I talk about the future so you can remain open to it. But you are the point of my emphasis.Osho,"
Nothing thrills me more than when you speak about nirvana. How mysterious it is that I can long so much for something that I don't know and you can't say. The word itself is still unpolluted and so wondrous. On the other hand, I noticed last week that we now have 'enlightened' insurance policies! Would you please thrill my heart once more?
Dans ce titre, Osho discussions sur les sujets suivants:
future… answers… nirvana… ignorance… hallucination… avoid… obey… mevlana… belattiputta

Iran may be ready to resume talks with the West, but under new conditions.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, set out new criteria for Western nations, highlighting what he called Western hypocrisy.
This comes after the US and its allies slapped Iran with more sanctions, hoping that they will deter Tehran from its nuclear ambitions.
They are concerned Tehran is trying to build a nuclear bomb, but Iran says its nuclear programme is only for civilian purposes. Reasserting this position, Ahmadinejad said he will delay the talks until late August and will talk only to those who clarify their position on some of what he considers to be key issues.
What has triggered Iran to re-assert itself? Is Tehran in a position to dictate new conditions? Or are the latest sanctions already biting?
Joining the programme are Seyed Mohammad Marandi, the head of North American studies at Tehran University, Geneive Abdo, an Iran expert and fellow at the Century Foundation, and Alastair Crooke, the director and founder of Conflicts Forum.

I sleep on my side/stomach with a pillow that I lean on. My properly hosltered gun (leather with retention snap) is under the leaning pillow facing away from anyone. For my kids to get to it, they would have to move me...and they can't. Other than when I am asleep, it is on my person. If I get up for any reason, it goes with me.
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.

Keep it loaded with nothing in the chamber? I don't know a single toddler who can lock it back and engage the slide lock?
I thought about this situation many times when my children were little. We never kept our guns unlocked when our children were small. Children, no matter how well taught, will do things they are not supposed to when they think no one is looking. Even though there may be a risk of intruders, we never felt the risk was so great that it was necessary to leave a loaded gun outside of the safe. Never underestimate a child's abilities! A four or five year old child could easily fit a magazine into a gun, given the opportunity. Children can also be quite the climbers, so don't ever think you can place a loaded gun out of a child's reach. I just read a story today about the death of a 5 year old that found his dad's service revolver in top of the closet. How terrible! We waited until my youngest was his teens before we were comfortable keeping our pistols loaded and accessible at night but when we leave, if the weapons don't come with us, then they are unloaded or locked up. I don't think my teenager would bother them, but then again one can't be completely sure, so why even take a chance?
a toddler can fire a revolver--
they will sit cross legged on the floor and, pointing the muzzle at their chest, grasping the grips in both
little hands, with both thumbs on the trigger--they squeeze--literally the life out of them selves.
they will finaggle a semi...time and murphy
no mag near the gun, no round chambered...no unwanted events.
--time was i had 2 BHP's in different parts of the house. the wife had a mag and i had a mag.
my daughter at age 7 was having fun the ruger 10-22 and by 10 had a S&W 34.
she's 23 now and you can talk to her at NRA HQ. double+good range by the way.

At night my G19 is in a SERPA retention holster in the nightstand drawer. In the morning it goes on my side. If the kids come to my side of the bed they wake me up. If they managed to fumble with the holster they would wake me up. Since it's a retention holster you have to engage the button to release the gun. I also teach my kids that guns are off limits unless they ask me or mom, and then we drop what we are doing and let them see the gun. Or they look at them when I am cleaning them. Just my simple solution. And I can grab the holster, engage the button in the dark, and slide the holster off the gun with the drawer; done it a few times. Luckily all false alarms.
I prefer to live dangerously free than safely caged!

My kids are 4 and 7. I use the V-Line Top Draw also. I don't like the idea of a safe that relies on electricity - either plug in or batteries - because Murphy's Law says you won't have power to open the safe when you need it.
The mechanical push button system on the V-Line is great. If any buttons were pushed prior to you entering the proper sequence, when you enter the sequence it won't open. This is how I know if my kids tried to mess with the safe or not. As far as our house rules go, touching the safe gets them in as much trouble as touching on of my firearms. There has been one punishment dished out so far, and I assure you it won't happen again, if you know what I mean.
Proper training of the kids is critical. The safe alone is not enough.
As far as securing it goes. It can be screwed down. But my view of the safe is not to prevent theft. You need a real safe for that. The role in my house is to prevent easy access by the kids and to prevent a BG from shooting me with my own gun if he manages to get to me while I am sound asleep.
Good luck,
It's a big responsibility, and even bigger when kids are around. You clearly understand that.
If the kids are young, I like the recommendation of attaching the gun vault to a dresser or wall. This is a good thread, it made us consider your predicament think outside the box.
do you check that your socks are still on after you've tied your shoes?
do you press check the gun you loaded this morning to make sure you did it?
DocPMD said it already, so no need to repeat it.

Candidate filing deadline is MondayStaff Report | January 23,2013Despite what it says on the forms, petitions to run for local office are due in to the City Clerk's office Monday.
Paperwork distributed by City Hall gives the deadline as Jan. 30. City Clerk Henry Heck said this was an error attributed to the fact that petitioners have two days to withdraw their petitions and keep their names off the ballot.
"It was just that the dates were mixed up," he said. "Even though the deadline is the 28th, it's not an official petition until the 30th."
Heck said he tried to get notices to everyone who took out petitions.
"If Bob Smith comes out of the hills on the 29th and says 'here's my petition,' we'll look at that then," Heck said.MORE IN This Just InRichard Rivers has settled his lawsuit against the Vermont State Fair.

- Servings:
- Preparation Time:
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 c sifted flour
- 2 Tbsp vanilla
- 1 tsp grated lemon zest
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar
- Beat together the eggs and sugar in a medium size bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Stir in 1 1/2 c of the flour, the vanilla and lemon rind until blended. Shape into a ball.
- Turn the dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes; add as much of the remaining flour as necessary to prevent sticking. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rest 5 minutes.
- Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll 1/4 of the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Keep remaining dough covered with plastic wrap while working with the one fourth. Cut into 5 x 1 1/2 inch strips with pastry wheel or pizza cutter. Make a lenghwise slit about 1 inch long in center of each strip. Pull one end through the slit to make a bowtie. As you work, keep bowties covered with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Pour oil into large saucepan or Dutch oven to a depth of 4 inches. Heat oil until it registers 375 degrees on a deep fat frying thermometer, or until a 1 inch cube of white bread turns golden brown in about 50 seconds. Transfer 3 or 4 cookies to the hot oil with metal spatula. Fry cookies for a total of 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper toweling; cool. Keep unfried bowties covered with plastic wrap. Fry remaining cookies. Store in tightly covered container. Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving.

Ferrell case offers convincing argument for police body-cams
The Jonathan Ferrell shooting still has more outstanding questions than answers.
The most important one, from a public safety perspective, is: What would the story have been had Officer Randall Kerrick been the only witness on the scene?
Anyone who believes this cant happen to an unarmed, law-abiding citizen seeking help should be taking a hard look at that question.
If there ever were a legitimate question about the need to make police body-cam videos public property, this case should provide a convincing answer.

In response to Bid to rename court building for Chambers (Sept. 13) and related articles:
Slow down on courthouse name change; a lot of history at stake
I simply cannot believe Mecklenburg County board chair Pat Cotham wants to rename the Mecklenburg courthouse after lawyer Julius Chambers.
He was a prominent man, but we are talking about a historic building. Something this historical should never have a name change. There is too much history at stake.
Why erase such meaningful history? Slow down, Pat.

In response to US Airways workers to lobby for merger (Sept. 16):
Pin blame for low morale at US Airways in right place: on CEO
For over two years management at US Airways has shown a lack of willingness to negotiate with employees in good faith. During those years CEO Douglas Parker saw fit to seek a merger with American Airlines. Now, US Airways management wants us to support this merger.
They want us to write our congressional representatives. They want us to ask the Department of Justice to back off and let the merger go through.
Parker and his people want everyone to think DOJ is causing low morale at US Airways. Any low morale is a result of the lack of respect shown us by our management, not the DOJ.

Trim big CMS salaries to give teachers increase they deserve
When talking pay raises for teachers and implied budget increases we must look at how our tax dollars are spent in the school budget.
We spend more than $288,000 for a superintendent and he has a large staff, some of whom are better paid than teachers.
Exactly how many non-teaching staff jobs, not including bus drivers, janitors and cafeteria workers, do we have in our school system?
Eliminate the wasted dollars in the budget and I bet we can do a little better by the underpaid teachers.

In response to Pittenger fears chemical attack here (Sept. 14):
Pittenger offers simplistic view thats hard to take seriously
Only two alternative policies follow from Rep. Robert Pittengers fear.
Either the U.S. should undertake a Bush-style invasion of Syria to seize these weapons before the terrorists do. But nobody wants another U.S. war.
Or the U.S. needs to make sure Assad stays firmly in power.
Thus, logic dictates that Pittenger embrace Obamas diplomacy to leave Assads government in place but get it to promise not to use chemical weapons again.
In light of Pittengers simplistic view of a complex reality, voters should ask if his is a foreign policy voice that deserves to be taken seriously.

In response to U.S. Opinions: Kansas City Slow but deliberate justice (Sept. 15 Opinion):
When it comes to 9/11 attack, justice delayed is justice denied
While reading this editorial I was overcome with such a warm fuzzy feeling, knowing how fair and balanced our justice system has been to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his 9/11 co-conspirators .
I am sure those who lost loved ones are as thrilled as I am, that after 12 years there is still no outcome in sight.
Perhaps in our zeal to be fair, in another five or 10 years this might be resolved. Hopefully all of the family members of those murdered will still be alive to see justice done.

In response to When national anthem plays, show some respect; heres how (Sept. 16 Forum):
People show love of country
in different ways; let it be
Forum writer Bo Proctors patriotism is admirable. But one of the many great things about being an American is having the right to choose not to act in lockstep with, for example, a stadium full of spectators as instructed by the PA announcer.
Some people express love of country in very personal ways. Others have no sense of national pride. In any case, please dont judge those who fail to follow the letter of the code.
You dont know whats in someones heart and mind.

Love and Hate
The ups, downs and overall delights of parenthood
Feb 9, 2011
I Hate School Science Projects Involving Animals
I really do love animals. But my kids keeping bugs at home? Not so much. Dissections? Help!
My daughter Patti recently asked me what I had wanted to be when I was little. I dreamed of being a veterinarian, because I wanted to work with animals every day.
But if I hadn't changed my mind before high school, that idea certainly came to screeching halt in biology class where we had to dissect a baby pig. Yuuuuuck! Thankfully, my lab partner agreed to do the cutting. I decided then that I'd prefer to look at animals from the outside only, thank you very much.
Of course, students experience everything earlier these days. When Patti told me she'd be dissecting a sheep eyeball at her school's Spring Showcase event in second grade, my knees got a bit wobbly. I was impressed by her enthusiasm, though, and figured, "Better her than me!"
The time came and Patti relished digging out that sheep cornea and iris, but the first snip of the scissors spewed a cloud of formaldehyde, turning her little face all red and making tears flow down her cheeks. Like a downed soldier, she turned and handed the scissors to me. I tightened my jaw, noted all the dads taking a giant step backward, and cut up that eyeball till Patti could view the retinal wall. What I couldn't do for myself, I did for my kid, right?
When Patti asked me a couple months later if she could bring home the class beetle she'd raised from meal-worm stage (ew!), I figured anything's better than digging in sheep's eyeballs.
We fed that darned beetle for months – apple and potato slices, bran flakes and tomatoes. As if the cats and fish weren't enough, we had a little half-inch pet to worry about, too. And when her bug died, despite our tender care, Patti cried all afternoon.
Two years later, I agreed to take Suzi's beetle in. Suzi is a little more intense about it, thinking the beetle, named Carissa, needs new fruit every day. I talked her into alternate day feedings, as I care for all the other pets, now including a puppy.
The other day I was chatting with two moms, Trish and Becky, outside our daughters' ballet class. I mentioned all the work it takes to keep the beetles alive.
"We set our beetle free," Trish said, a sparkle in her eye.
"So did we," Becky said, surprised at the coincidence.
But I didn't get it. I thought perhaps they were talking about their older kids. Our second graders all received their beetles right before Christmas.
"Well, you can't release them this time of year," I said.
"We waited for a warm day," Trish smiled… more twinkling. A warm day in December? I wondered.
"Yeah, there was that sunny day," Becky agreed.
"We decided we didn't want to feed it," Trish said. "I told the girls he'd be fine."
I sat there, sorta feeling like I was nicer than them, not setting Suzi's beetle free with a wave goodbye, on its way to a certain death. But I also sorta felt like a chump.
Why hadn't I thought of that!?
When Suzi came out of class, I told her what the other girls had done and she smiled and gasped, all warm with peer-pressure possibilities. "Maybe we could do that too!" she squeaked.
I smiled back, knowing I'd never have the heart to do it. We'll be feeding Carissa for months to come.
When I shared the whole tale with big sister Patti, she said, "Guess what!"
"What now?" I moaned.
"Next year we get to dissect a cow's heart!"
"OK," I croaked. "Just don't bring it home… please!"

i know the school has a 0 tollerence pollacy aginst violence and this is a breach of contract with wyotech what can i do
I would sit down and talk with an attorney (most give free consultations) to review the policies and procedures of the school and to learn exactly what behavior the school is concerned about. If you are the victim of the bullying and the instructor can verify that, I am unsure as to why you are looking at suspension.
It seems likely that there is a factual dispute at the bottom of this situation or else you would not be facing potential school discipline.
In all events, it is unlikely that there is a potential damages action available to you. More likely, you will have administrative appeal rights against any charges that the school may bring and any discipline that the school may impose. You will have the right to counsel in that situation, but not at public or school expense and most likely you will need to retain counsel on an hourly fee basis. In the absence of a claim for damages and a likely basis for high recovery (both very unlikely in student discipline matters), there is no basis for a contingency fee agreement for legal services.

If you spend any amount of time on facebook, you've probably seen a slew of heartwarming, funny, or entertaining viral videos shared from the James Ellis facebook page.
This fitness trainer is seriously dominating the facebook feeds right now because of all the good video content he's been curating and sharing from his page.
Wait – replace "curating" with "stealing" and that previous sentence will be more accurate.
Don't let the muscles distract you from the fact that he is profiting off of being a shady mother f*cker. Turns out solid abs do not equal solid ethics.
I admit to sharing a couple of things from his facebook page. There is a reflex to just hit share when we watch or see something we like on facebook. I usually try to make sure there is credit given to the original source, but sometimes I'm lazy. However, as I started seeing posts from James Ellis all over my feed, I soon realized that this guy couldn't possibly have made all of these videos, and when I tried to find the original source, I couldn't – because there was no link or mention of who actually created the content.
Then, he must have gotten that feeling in his gut – you know, that moral compass feeling that tells you your lying and stealing. In response to that feeling, he started giving credit like this:
It's been bothering me for some time that this guy was starting to build a facebook page empire off of stolen content, and the other day my friend Marcy Massura actually voiced what I had been feeling:
You see, there is a proper way to share videos that you find on YouTube. It is obviously clear and easy to do:
This is the ONLY proper way to share YouTube videos. You see, as a video content creator myself, I know that view counts matter. For a lot of YouTubers, a good portion of their income comes from the traffic their videos get… and when someone uses a video swiper to take videos off of YouTube and then re-uploads them onto facebook, that's stealing money right out of their pockets. Some of the videos this guy James has posted have been "liked" tens of thousands of times. That's over ten thousand views that the owner of that video did not get credit for on YouTube.
My dear facebook friends, every time you view and share a video that this guy has uploaded to his page without using the proper sharing tools – you are taking views and money away from the content creator.
Look for the YouTube bar at the bottom of the video. That means proper credit is going to the creator.
If there is no bar, than it is coming from another video platform, was uploaded by the owner to facebook, or is stolen. Let's hope it's one of the first two…
Stuff gets stolen online regularly – photos, videos, blogposts…
The Internet is still the wild wild west, and the sheriff is busy playing poker. I'd like to think that most people are in tune with their moral compass…
but it looks like there are quite few that are only in tune with the threat of getting caught.
There are a number of people who gain massive exposure by standing on the stolen content of others.
James Ellis is one of them.
Let's try not to help him out so much.

I don't think I would ever have gone for the smell of this eau de toilette if it hadn't reminded me of the holiday I took to the Virgin Islands a year or two ago. It's got what I can only really describe as a an intense dusty floral smell, a little overpowering for an eau de…Read more » 1 Comment
Review: Savon de Marseille Soap
When it comes to organic and (mostly) chemical free soaps I think the first brand everyone thinks of is Lush. Now don't get me wrong, Lush are great and you all know how much I love their face masks, but there are many other brands out there! You can use this brand for everything from…Read more » 3 Comments
Review: Japanese Cherry Blossom Perfume Oil
My Lily Lolo obssession doesn't seem to be ending any time soon, but I thought I'd least attempt to experiment with other brands and the other day when I was passing through Paddington I thought I'd give this a try. As you'd imagine it smells of cherry blossom, a sweet floral smell without smelling like…Read more » 8 Comments
My Skincare: Makeup Removal Brush
Normally anything new takes a while to wriggle it's way into my bathroom cupboard. I'm not a fan of clutter, in fact I hate it. If it's not being used it's thrown out or given to friends/family who will use it. This one made it into the cupboard within a week. That's how much I…Read more » 7 Comments
Review: Graftobian HD Cream Foundations
Though they're labeld as foundations really I consider these as concealers. One little pot could quite literally last you a whole year if you used it every single day as a foundation.

I have to hand it to Nina Ricci, their perfumes bottles are almost as nice as their perfumes and a huge factor for when I'm sniffing around for a new one.

This tale of corporate theft is too good to miss: Insiders at Coca-Cola got nabbed in a sting operation when they tried to sell trade secrets about a new soft drink to the folks at Pepsi.
Three people were charged by federal prosecutors on Wednesday with stealing confidential information, including a sample of a new drink, from The Coca-Cola Co. and trying to sell it to rival PepsiCo Inc.
The suspects include a Coke executive's administrative assistant, Joya Williams, who is accused of rifling through corporate files and stuffing documents and a new Coca-Cola product into a personal bag.
Williams, 41, of Norcross, Ga., and 30-year-old Ibrahim Dimson of New York and 43-year-old Edmund Duhaney of Decatur, Ga., were arrested on charges of wire fraud and unlawfully stealing and selling Coke trade secrets, federal prosecutors said.
They are expected to appear before a federal magistrate judge on Thursday in Atlanta, where Coca-Cola is based.
Pepsi spokesman Dave DeCecco said his company did what any responsible company would do in cooperating with Coke and the investigation.

After long time, somehow demotivated. Sorry.Hi pals,it is me, Woxys do you still remember me?It has been months since I've posted my last journal.I apologize for my inactivity.The first reason is that I have a job and that means I am usually tired in the evening, so I do not have mood or even energy to edit photos and to prepare long journals.The second reason is… sorry, I will be pretty honest and do not get angry, please. I think everybody's noticed dA has changed the system. Now it is much more difficult to get some attention. I think original idea was to give a chance to less know deviants but as a result, people I know are not active at all – in the past, they were happy when they got to front page time to time, reaching some 300-600 faves few times a year. New system gives them 30 faves even for really beautiful shots.Year or so ago, when I posted a photo of a cute animal, I could have 100 faves in first 15 minutes.Now it happens that when I post a photo of some baby animal, I have 3 view

So simple in theory and yet so hard in execution as I well know, being one who couldn't manip his way out of a paper bag. To create any art in this process alone is commendable but to create the fine art that she does, time and again, is frankly speaking...exemplary.As Madeleine commented on one of her pieces, "A gentle child cherishes a globe and contemplates a world filled with peace and love"...I think you will find this a recurring theme throughout her fine body of

AnimalsYou know the heart of a man by his treatment of animals, for animals are like babies , pure , kind , caring , unprotected and all they need is love and care. Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.

Moving To The Right: Not An Effective Strategy
6:43 am in Government, Health care, Legislature by RH Reality Check
Written by Amanda Marcotte for RHRealityCheck.org – News, commentary and community for reproductive health and justice.
One of the occasional great joys of political prognosticating is the chance to go back over what you wrote and see how right or wrong you were, though it's obviously more fun if you were right. And on October 24th, I published a column where I argued that Republican candidates might find that being hard right on reproductive rights helps them win primaries, but can be devastating in the general election.
I'm happy to say that I was right. Not every time–some of the most extreme anti-choice candidates did win–but many of the candidates who lost races that they were earlier predicted to win in a walk were candidates whose extreme views on abortion rights were well-publicized. It wasn't just Christine O'Donnell, either, though she was probably doomed from the moment it was exposed that her hostility to sexual freedom went beyond opposing rights that make women's lives better right on to opposing masturbation, a popular activity among men, the ones who generally police and are not subject to the anti-sex police's policing. Anti-choice extremism wasn't what you wanted on your side to beat the Democrats this election.
Sharron Angle, who was assumed over the summer to have an easy win against the unpopular Harry Reid in a state with nearly 15 percent unemployment, was beaten for a number of reasons involving her inability to stay quiet about extreme right wing views on everything from Medicare to gun control. But her hostility to women who need abortions—even minors who are raped by family members—haunted her, particularly her quote about said victims trying to turn the "lemons" of rape into the supposed lemonade of bearing a child to give it away. . . .
