Buy sterling. Buy lots of sterling. 1.40 is an insanely low rate; anyone who believes it to be sustainable is, quite literally, mentally ill.

Buy sterling. Buy lots of sterling. 1.40 is an insanely low rate; anyone who believes it to be sustainable is, quite literally, mentally ill.
(also, our banks are less fucked than yours; our government is just less dishonest than yours about it…)
Sad (and the best tribute ever).
…although this is better:
…and, as discussed previously, this is best:
Hooray for Obama's America.
I don't have enormously high hopes that everything will become groovy, excellent, liberal, etc, and I know that the President's impact on what happens in the states is somewhat limited – but the fact that the Californians have taken a cop who shot a harmless, unarmed civilian, charged said cop with first degree murder, and refused to let him out on bail is still a rather jolly and heartwarming starting point for the new regime.
Now, if David Cameron were to promise to do the same for all UK cops found in the same situation, that might sway my voting plans…
(backing Ian Blair over Jean-Charles de Menezes' murder was the one thing that made me seriously consider not voting for Ken at the last mayoral elections. Had any candidate explicitly spoken out againts shoot-to-kill-for-suspected-comedians [*], and not had utterly ludicrous policies on everything else [**], I'd've voted for them…)
[*] it flatters the incompetent, trivial jokers we've had to oh so bravely struggle against in the UK to refer to them as 'terrorists'. There's no terror. The guys in Mumbai are terrifying. Ours are idiots who set fire to themselves [***].
[**] in this context, neither Boris's nor Brian's policies would've been ridiculous enough to deter me.
[***] and I'm slightly embarrassed when Londoners claim July 7 2005 as a serious piece of terrorism. Cock off: New York had its two biggest landmarks destroyed and 3,000 people murdered; we had the same death toll as four hours' worth of smoking, plus the same disruption as when Metronet mess up the engineering works. Nothing to see here; trivial nonsense; get lost.
Excellent-but-unreadable economist Willem Buiter pretty much agrees with me on the inevitable collapse of the dollar – although his timeframe is 2-5 years rather than my best guess of six months to 2 years. This will see the $/£ exchange rate going back to somewhere around 1.65.
The interesting bit will be whether the changing $ value will create a perception of rising energy and commodity prices, or whether everyone will be sensible enough this time round to realise that it's largely a mirage. The evidence from last time isn't entirely heartening…
I try and avoid these, because they're insanely geektastic.
Nonetheless: a bunch of whining has gone on lately about failures on the trains, in the coldest and iciest week of the last 15 years. For most of today, the M1 was closed, for almost exactly the same reasons. Anyone who slates the former and not the latter is an ignorant moron.
Things break in this country [= England + lowland Scotland] when it's terrifyingly cold, because it's very seldom terrifyingly cold, so it'd be stupid to build them to deal with terrifying cold. These things include cars, trains, school boilers, and generally everything non-life-critical.
We can't defeat the weather, no matter how hard we try. So chill out (haha), and if you live somewhere insanely remote then light a fire, climb into a warm bed, and deal with the fact that you can't get into the office by car nor train (oh no! disaster! surely you'll die!)
Update: Andrew Gilligan, the unthinking man's ignorant moron, thoroughly jumps on the bandwagon.
OK, so we appear to be in the early stages of a major recession, which may well go on for years. A whole load of people may well lose their jobs, pay rises will be a thing of the past for people who keep them, and overall incomes from working will fall substantially.
Meanwhile, inflation has fallen to pretty much nothing. Falling fuel and food prices are among the main drivers of the fall in inflation. Imported consumer goods, of the sort that kept inflation low during the boom, have risen in price due to the pound's devaluation.
So let's think about the people who're left worst-off by this. Are they:
1) people living on fixed incomes (ie pensions or savings), who're seeing their living standards remain pretty much flat, who have no chance of a catastrophic decline in incomes, and who spend disproportionately on heating;
2) people not living on fixed incomes, who're seeing their living standards fall, who're at risk of losing their jobs, and who're much more likely to spend on imports, but who have relatively large savings to cushion the blow if anything bad happens;
3) people not living on fixed incomes, who're seeing their living standards fall, who're at risk of losing their jobs, and who're much more likely to spend on imports, but who have debts to service that will utterly crucify them if bad things happen?
The answer, fairly obviously, is group 3. People with decent net savings are just fine: if they never had jobs, they're insulated from anything bad happening anyway; if they have jobs now, then they can afford the time taken to find a new job if they lose the current one.
So the new Conservative party policy of punishing people in group 3 to reward people in group 1 [*] can only be viewed in two ways: either breathtaking, witless stupidity, or the intergenerational equivalent of class warfare, deliberately screwing over economically productive people even more than the recession will do anyway to give money to the elderly, who the recession won't have any impact on. [***]
[*] in group 2, where I'm lucky enough to sit, we'll gain slightly on the tax breaks but lose out from the spending cuts [**].
[**] To "they'll be funded by cutting waste not productive spending"-ists, that's not the point. If you've got a plan to cut waste, great – but you still need to explain why the benefits from that plan should accrue to people who're doing fine, rather than something sensible like a rise in the income tax allowance to benefit the working poor.
[***] Of course, the working poor are busy either working or drinking themselves into a stupor to forget their miserable lives, whilst pensioners spend their time talking to Edna in the post office about absolutely nothing, and therefore voting rates for the latter group are far higher than the former. This is another reason why democracy is A Bit Pants, Even If It's Better Than The Alternatives.
I just voted for West Midlands creative networking blog Created In Birmingham as the Best UK Blog in the 2008 Weblog Awards, and I'd urge you to do the same.
No, I don't particularly care about the Brummie creative arts world (much as I love Napalm Death and Jasper Carrott…), but they're the entrant with the single best chance of beating evil bigot and certifiable lunatic Melanie Phillips to the top spot. View it as a kind-of Rickrolling For Good…
Oh, and congrats to Nosemonkey for his nomination. Sometimes you have to let the good suffer to avoid the evil, or similar items of cod philosophy.
Andrew at LC on bloggertarians:
Libertarians almost all seem to believe that they have achieved everything in life entirely by themselves, having struggled against mighty odds and overwhelming enemies to become moderately successful computer programmers, despite the horrible disadvantages of being born white, English-speaking heterosexual males in middle-class families.
I admit this is slightly unfair: some bloggertarians are gay, and some are from upper-class families.
When citing rest-stop graffitti:
1. List the name of the rest area (if it has a name) in italics.
2. Name the state in which it was located.
3. Name the highway it abuts (with direction headed).
4. List the nearest mile marker.
5. List the date the graffitti was observed.

Monday 30 Mar 2015
By Julia Halperin. Web onlyPublished online: 26 March 2014
Call it the Turbine Hall effect. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA) is one of several US museums building free-to-visit ground floor spaces to show large-scale works and site-specific commissions to the broadest possible public.
Like the Turbine Hall, Tate Modern's 35,000 sq. ft contemporary art venue that has hosted such ambitious and crowd-pleasing commissions as Ólafur Elíasson's The Weather Project, Ai Weiwei's Sunflower Seeds and Tino Sehgal's These Associations, the San Francisco museum's ground-floor space will feature interactive contemporary works that visitors can explore without buying a ticket to the rest of the museum, while 25ft-tall glass walls will make every installation visible to passersby. The inaugural display, Richard Serra's 67-foot-long sculpture Sequence, 2006, is part of a planned exhibition of the 1,100-work collection of Gap founder Donald Fisher and his wife Doris, which the museum acquired on long-term loan in 2009.San Francisco is not alone: the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York are both building open-plan, free ground floor spaces as part of high-profile construction projects. Like the San Francisco museum's planned space, the Museum of Modern Art's free-admission, glass-walled gallery for contemporary art and performance is due to open directly onto the street. Although they are stopping short of offering free admission to the entire facility, the trend signals museums' growing desire to shed their reputation as a space open only to the elite. "The museum's expansion is, in part, about opening up the museum to its urban surroundings and about deepening our role in city life," says the San Francisco museum director Neal Benezra. The Howard Street gallery (to be renamed pending sponsorship or donation) is part of SFMoMA's $610m overhaul, due to be completed in 2016. (The institution has raised $570m to date.) The renovation stands to give the museum, which has been closed since last year, the largest gallery space devoted to Modern and contemporary art in the US—at least until the Museum of Modern Art in New York opens its expansion in 2019. It also increases the amount of space that is free to the public by a factor of six. But square-footage is not easy to come by in crowded downtown San Francisco. The Howard Street gallery will be less than one-tenth the size of the cavernous Turbine Hall. And in order to open up the expanded 41,000 sq. ft ground floor, the Norwegian architecture firm Snøhetta plans to demolish the museum's central staircase, which has served as the focal point of Mario Botta's original 1995 design. Some are already questioning the wisdom of squeezing 157,000 sq. ft of gallery space into a single city block. "It would be far more coherent, with a better sense of proportion, at about three-fourths (or even two-thirds) the size," wrote the architecture critic Christopher Hawthorne.But can these museums be blamed for their lofty ambitions? The Turbine Hall's star power has never been clearer. Last year, attendance at Tate Modern dropped from 5.3 million to 4.8 million, according to The Art Newspaper's annual survey, likely due in part to the end of the Unilever series at Turbine Hall and the closure of the Tanks for renovation. Hyundai will sponsor ten more years of commissions beginning autumn 2015.

The Latest On: black carbon
Scope of Science: The Dark Side of Soot
Obama Has Spoken, Now He Must Lead
Last week, President Obama demanded that Congress take action on climate change, or else he would.
But, after years of political gridlock on the climate issue, coupled with rising seas and worsening droughts, one thing is clear: the nation simply cannot afford to wait any longer to take action. Though Congress may eventually pull together and pass a climate bill, the president must not wait on that uncertain prospect. He must act now.
Time To Confront A Major Climate Pollutant: Soot
As the environmental ministers of the Arctic nations, including the United States, meet in Sweden next week, they have an opportunity to show leadership on an important though less well-known climate pollutant, black carbon (soot).
While carbon dioxide remains the most important, long-lasting pollutant forcing climate change, recent studies have revealed that short-lived climate forcers like black carbon are equally damaging, especially in the Arctic.
Scope of Science: Climate in a New Era
Crops shriveled to dust this summer while thermometers hit continuous triple digits in the Midwest and Southwest regions. Yet, what about the current "snowmageddon" occurring in our mountain regions, and record lows on the east coast?
Court Acts In Favor Of Cleaner Air
The mention of soot conjures images of black clouds pouring out of unfiltered cars, or of cities lost in dark fog. At times in our history, soot pollution has helped stain entire ecosystems black, famously causing moths in Britain to change color from white to black to better hide in their environment. These images are well-deserved: soot is dangerous to both humans and the environment.
Going to Extremes In Arctic: Is it Worth It?
As Royal Dutch Shell continues to make perfectly clear, industry is not prepared to safely explore for oil in the pristine waters of America's Arctic. Shell's Arctic operations have been called the "gold standard" of the oil industry and if this is the best they've got, the industry is not Arctic ready.

Look who came visiting...
...when I was pulling ivy. The news has reported many bites this spring. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff260/wrager46/copperhead.jpg
Is it true that I should pee in the ivy to keep them away?
Yes i did get bit by a Copper Head about two years ago working on some landscape lighting with my dog Adolf.
Never heard of a dry pit viper bite, and doubt that a snake has that ability, at least not pit vipers. Certainly did not work that way for me or Adolf.
Adolf got the worse of it taking a bite on his muzzle which caused a lot of swelling and blocking his airway.
Anyway we are just fine. Cannot say the same for the snake. Last time I remember seeing that snake he was going in two different directions at the same time when Adolf bit him in half and slung the two pieces all over the yard.
Funny part it was the second time I have been bitten by poisonous snake. First time I was 14 or 15 walking down a creek bank and stepped on it, an Cotton Mouth. That one put me in the hospital a couple of days. Thought I was going to loose my leg at the time.

We were thrilled to have chosen the Omni Parker House. Many blogs and 'insiders' said to stay outside of the city to save money, but the cost was well worth it. The location was centralized in the city, literally right on the Freedom Trail! We were able to walk or grab the subway just about a block away. The hotel was gorgeous inside and staff was very helpful. The rooms were small, as other reviews indicate, but was just fine for two. The bed was super comfortable.

Marking Containers
I have had little luck with marking my containers with peppers. I am using green 5 gallon buckets and I tried using a permanent marker to mark the type of pepper on them but after about two weeks, it is barely readable. It is a sun issue. The same goes for the little white plant labels that you stick in the soil. I tried Duct Tape on the buckets with the permant marker and get the same result as marking the bucket directly. I have tried two different brands of permanent marker. Sharpie being one.
Does anyone know of a more durable and simple way to mark the buckets. I can use duct tape so that I can rip it off at the end of the season but I dont want to have to relabel them every couple weeks. I want a simple solution as well.
You may try to get some paint that adheres to plastic, like Krylon, but these are in the spray cans. You would have to spray some in a old bottle and use a paintbrush to write it on the side. Seems like a lot of work but it could be done.
Why not use something else then those white labels. I picked up some free plastic from HD (samples from the window colorings) and used those, cut them into strips. Maybe masking tape them to the front if you really want it in there.
I once saw someone use white plastic knives used those as labels. Now that was cool. Seems practical and cheap to me. I may do that next year.

I've been having the same issue but I think next season I'm going to try using my wood burner on popsicle sticks.
If you use a plastic or wood stick label in the pot, use a soft pencil (I buy #1 soft pencils, not the common #2 pencils - #2 will work, but the line is thinner and harder to read). I just cleaned out my last garden bed this weekend and found five white plastic stakes from last year still perfectly legible. Matter of fact, I reused them right away as I had rotated those varieties into another spot. Didn't even have to erase the writing.
I've tried all kinds of markers, etc. but I always go back to my trusty #1 pencils. I've occasionally come across free carpenter's pencils (the wide flattish ones used for marking lumber) at big box stores as giveaways. Those work too, but they are a pain to sharpen with a penknife.
I would really like to use something on my 5 gallon pails or at least on a piece of Duct tape that I can place on the pails. I like to be able to see the name of the plant on the bucket when I take a photo so when I look later, maybe years later, I can tell what kind of plant it was. I really don't want to have to deal with paint or anything like that but I thought maybe there was some sun resistant marker out there. The #1 pencil idea sounds good for the small white plant markers though.
Try the wax pencils may work. I'm in the same boat as you right now. I currently have 10 plants that I no longer know what they are lol. I'm gonna try the wax pencil on my bucket in between the top rings. Then wipe off at end of season for the known plants.
I can get a Sharpie Oil Based, Black Paint Pen from Home Depot for under $4. I think I will give one of those a try. I would think that paint should last for a couple months at least.
Here is a link that might be useful: Sharpie, Black Oil Based Paint Pen, Bold Tip
Here's a cheap way we used to mark iron parts sitting out in the sun for, perhaps, years in a heavy equipment yard. Write on it with a magic marker and then immediately spray with a CHEAP white paint. The black marker will bleed and permanently dye the paint.
Your mileage may vary.
This year I used masking tape with labels written on them and stuck to the sides of the container. I will not do that again. I forgot to bring in the plants one day when it rained while I was hardening them off. The plants were fine, but the labels were erased. I had a very fun time trying to figure out what was what. So I think masking tape labels are a "don't." :)
I just use the white plant labels and a sharpie but angle them down so the sun doesn't hit the written area and bleach it out. The only issue with this is that you cannot just walk by and see what each one is, you have to bend them up to see whats written there.
Yep, all are potential solutions, but I want a simple way to mark the outside of my 5 gallon buckets that is at least semi-permanent. I want the name of the plant to be easily readable from a short distance and no fade from sun or weather exposure in two weeks.
I will update after I get a hold of a couple of the paint markers and use them long enough to know if they will be a solution or not.
Well, if you mark the container/bucket you are condemned to plant the same thing in it for the rest of your life :LOL
But, as Bruce said, it is convenient to read and be read in pictures.
I get blinds cuts and and make my tags. I use Sharpie marker and the marking stays readable for years. But who needs them old tags. I'll make fresh ones next year. hehe
If you are concerned about losing the tag (for some reason,...)
get one of those hand held single hole puncher. Get some old plastic blinds, cut them to any length. Punch a hole at one end ...make a hole on the buckets lip and hang the tag.
TOO MUCH work.
As an aside, I have about 25 fruit trees, including several varieties of apple, peach, plum, etc. When I got them, I also popped for those soft copper tags where you write on the variety name with a ball point pen, embossing the name into the copper. Should last forever.
Only a few years later to find my daughter had removed most of them for use in her doll house.
use a knife and scratch it in
use symbols with a "KEY"
(or wood burner /solder iron)
plus sign, minus sign etc...
mine are...
CG = Mexican Creme Guava
M = Malaysian papaya
+P = Sunset Papaya
keep the "key" -on the computer,
or under a fridge magnet
I use thick plastic plant markers from Menards with black permanent sharpie. It's been almost 4 weeks and there has been no fading. I also generally water right on them and no issues there either.
Here is a link that might be useful: Plant Labels with rebate
I use strips of plastic beer cups marked with a Sharpie permanent marker. Yes, the marks above the soil line do fade after a couple months, but I also mark the strip *below* the soil line. That mark never fades, and I can refresh the above-soil mark from it later in the year, though by then I know the plants personally.
Never tried the China marker idea, but I bet it works too.
I've never tried this, but I wonder if you use a regular sharpie then spay on a clear polyurethane coating?
Here is a link that might be useful: Clear Polyurethane Coating
A lot of packing and shipping websites sell adhesive backed ziplock sleeves, for enclosing a packing slip on the outside of a box. Most are not very durable, but with some searching it might be possible to find some heavy duty types. Putting the zipper to the bottom should keep things dry inside. Might also need to add a strip of duct tape after a few months but the label inside shouldn't be affected much.
Old window blinds cut into 6 inch strips with a permanent marker.
Been down this road... even permanent sharpies wear off after time, by the end of the summer the marking is gone (every time!). I've tried labels, plastic knives, etc. those fade as well. I've resorted to spray paining a larger number on the side of the bucket. Then I make a log of which plant is in #1 bucket, 2 bucket, etc. That way you can use the same bucket the next year with a different plant. You can look back at photos and cross-reference your log to say that x plant was in bucket #3 in 2014 (for example).
Brother P-Touch printers have become much more affordable. You can get one that hooks up to your computer for under 40 bucks, and it'll last forever. There are hand-held ones for twenty-odd dollars which you can use to make labels out in the garden. Compared to $3.50 for a single marker, this might be a good investment for a lifetime of garden labeling. I have used to label my peps in 5 gallon buckets. They stick on all season long and remain perfectly legible. At end of season, just rip it off and you're good to go for next year.
I used Sharpie Industrial Markers last year and they were great...no fading even on labels facing the sun, much better than the "regular" Sharpies that often fade quickly in direct sun. Sure wish I knew about the Industrials and their UV resistance long ago. Just make sure to print onto a clean surface so the markings don't flake off along with any dirt film. I've only seen them in black (which is fine) and in fine point and extra fine point. I like the fine point best. I bought mine at the local office supply store in a 3 pack. Super easy to use and I doubt I'll mark with anything else now that I found these.
Here is a link that might be useful: Industrial Sharpie
Well, not sure yet but things are looking good. I bought a Sharpie Paint marker from Home Depot for about $3.50. I wrote my plant names on some duct tape and put it on the containers. After about a week, they seem to be holding up quite well. Here is a picture of one of the labels from a couple days ago.
FYI: Reviews mention that the tip keeps falling out of the pen and in my experience, that is a valid complaint with these pens. More of a pain in the butt than a real problem though. I will update later on this summer as well.
I just need it to last one season. I still have a couple containers still with duct tape from last season...We shall see.
And, DMForcier, I think that you are talking about "athletic" tape. And yes, that stuff would stick...In fact, direct sun exposure would probably make it stick more.
Get out your tin snips, or those red handled scissors that will cut anything, and cut up a pop or beer can into strips. Write on the strips hard with a ball point pen, not a gel pin! Punch a hole in one end of the strip and put a tie, zip tie, whatever through it and tie it loosely to the base of the pepper plant. Even if the ink wears off, the impression stays in the soft metal.
All good ideas, but I wanted something that was durable and easy to read without having to get up real close. I like to take pictures of my plants and with the bold writing, I don't have to guess what it was when I look at it later on.
The paint pen and duct tape was the perfect solution for me.

Babbage: April 1st 2015: Here be monsters
Science and technology
IN ADDITION to the China-related offerings gathered up here on Analects, we publish a China section each week in the print edition of The Economist. We also cover China-related happenings in other sections of the print edition, and on some of our other blogs. To help readers find all our China coverage in one place, we provide this handy round-up.
In our China section this week we start with the complex story of local-government debt (keeping in mind that by "local" we are sometimes referring to provinces with populations and economies larger than those of most nations).
We follow with a piece about the increasing proportion of college graduates who join China's Communist Party. It's not necessarily for the love of Marx. And we end the section with a piece on Chinese film, and one director who is hoping to manage a rare feat: appealing to viewers both at home and abroad, yet still passing muster with the censors.
The lead note of our Asia section concerns a UN report accusing North Korea of "unspeakable" rights abuses. The report also puts China on the spot, with the suggestion it has been "aiding and abetting crimes against humanity".
Our Books and arts section includes a review of a new book about how people in authoritarian countries are empowered by the internet. China features prominently.
At Prospero, one of our sister blogs, we give more attention to Chinese film—and to the exceptionally good year China had at the Berlin Film Festival.
Schumpeter, our business and management blog, describes the irony in the rescue by China of PSA Peugeot Citroën.
At The Economist explains, we describe how a dialect differs from a language, and wade into a recent controversy over the status of Cantonese.
Lastly at Babbage, our science and technology blog, we describe the plans of an American billionaire to establish lunar private property rights and thereby foil what he perceives as "China's takeover of the Moon".

"Walking for Education" Has Begun
This year St. Mary's Catholic School will begin a new tradition entitled "Walking for Education". The goal for creating this annual event is very simple. We want to make sure all who wish a quality Catholic education, and cannot afford the cost of tuition, are helped through tuition assistance. To help us reach our goal of $100,000, the students of St. Mary's Catholic School will be participating in "Walking for Education." Each student will be challenged to do their part and gather sponsors. We are also reaching out to all parishes who have children attend St. Mary's Catholic School, and to our local businesses. We are anxiously looking forward to a successful event, which will be held on Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Make a difference in the life of a child and give the gift of a Catholic education, donations are accepted and appreciated J. Mail donations to: St. Mary's Catholic School - 1019 S. 7th Street, Temple, Texas 76504
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I pray you enjoyed your Spring Break. Welcome back to the final days of this school year. We have many exciting events and activities planned. I am sure it will fly by so make sure to read your newsletters, check the important dates and ask questions if you are unsure.
Saturday our students participated in the annual PSIA event. Wow! It was amazing to see the students in action. This is my first experience with PSIA and I have to say that I was delighted with the effort and dedication of all students in attendance and especially proud of our St. Mary's children.
Thank you to the coaches and organizers for all their hard work preparing our students. Thank you to our students for their diligent effort and commitment to their school. Thank you to parents and guardians for your support in all areas of PSIA. An official listing of the students who placed in each event is attached to this newsletter.
St. Mary's Catholic School has secured a long-term substitute for our Junior High students in the subject areas of Math and Religion. Mrs. Karen Thieme is a former teacher of St. Mary's and has been a valuable substitute of all grade levels for six years. Mrs. Thieme possesses a life-time teaching certificate in Texas and California and has experience in Middle School. I believe Mrs. Thieme will enable our Junior High students to complete this year successfully.
To provide greater support for our 8th graders in Algebra, we will be bringing in a co-teacher on Mondays and Wednesdays. Mrs. Anna Jaworski possesses a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction, has taught advanced Math courses and has a special love for Algebra. She and Mrs. Thieme will work together for the success of our students.
As well, Mr. Ike Eichelkraut has offered to tutor all Junior High levels, after school on specific days to be determined. Mr. Eichelkraut has experience teaching algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus.
Prior to the current changes in Middle School, plans were already in progress for next year and are both positive and exciting for our Middle School students. I have begun interviewing high quality teachers for Middle School and have plans for expanding the curriculum to include a writing program, an Accelerated Reading program and multi-level Math classes for Middle School students. The quality of education at St. Mary's Catholic school is moving forward in a constructive manner I assure you.
God bless you for your continued support.
Mrs. Wyles

·The Catholic school climate, mission, and purpose positively impact student achievement and attendance (Bryk, Lee, & Holland, 1993).
·A faith-based orientation builds coherence and integration of schools and school community (Bryk, Lee, & Holland, 1993).
·Students demonstrate higher academic achievement in Catholic schools (Coleman, Hoffer, & Kilgore, 1982; Sander, 1996).
·Graduates of Catholic high schools are more likely to vote and earn higher wages (Dee, 2005; Neal, 1997).
·Catholic schools tend to produce graduates who are more civically engaged, more tolerant of diverse views, and more committed to service as adults (Campbell, 2001; Wolf, Greene, Kleitz, & Thalhammer, 2001).

Recently, I was interested to learn that the first European person to use the word "Oregon" in reference to the chunk of territory in the northwestern United States was a guy called Robert Rogers from Methuen, Massachusetts, the town where I also grew up. He spelled it sort of bizarrely (it was 1765), and he was trying to convince the king of England to give him money so that he could mount an expedition out that way in search of a Northwest Passage.
The history of the Oregon country since then has been pretty much one big stream of easterners wandering out here by way of covered wagon, train, and airstream trailer, in search of more space, milder temperatures, an insane amount of rain, or just a place that looks like this. Right now I'm temporarily one of them: I'm living out here for a few months on an artist residency through the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, a really great organization founded in 1970 and dedicated to promoting cross-pollination between art and environmental science. I'll be here until May, hopefully getting some recording done and some essays finished up before I go back out on the road this summer.
As a result, my performance calendar has cooled off a bit until early May, when my residency ends. I'm happy to report, however, that you're all formally invited to virtually visit me here on the Oregon coast on March 18th at 8pm EDT (5pm Pacific), when I'll be broadcasting a live concert over the internet via Concert Window. I did one of these last year and it was lots of fun. You can pay what you want and watch from wherever you happen to be. You can sign up here anytime between now and March 18th.
Here's a video from a recent show in Nashville. It was unbelievably cold out and the heat in the venue had stopped working earlier in the day, but the good people at Little Lights still managed to make it into one of the warmest nights of my whole tour this winter:
I hope you're all well.

Jeff Siegel Poems
Stones On My Grave
Bury me with stones on my grave Allow me the comfort of eternal sleep Keep my tomb even, unlike that of a cave For a shallow grave makes the devil weep.
Eternal Love
I love you when you are near. As seaman love the morning clear. I love you still when your far away.
Fourteen More Days (A Poem for Aya)
In fourteen more days, you will have been grown. Gone from the hearth that has always been home. Is it my heart or fear that wish you to stay? Only time can say in fourteen more days.
Saturnine Gray
When the sun escapes the heavens grasp, And the day that flew now seems to lapse, When clouds that billowed now stretch and fray, It is then my world turns Saturnine Gray.
Daughter of Love
Daughter of love, given to me Wrapped in a bundle Of warmth and pink clothes. Cautious am I
A Place Called You
I live in a place called you Seen by many, and known to few. It's path is paved, yet hard to get to Where feelings are veiled and love is pursued.
Mother Ocean
What have you brought me? What language will you speak? What century do you come from? My anima of blue mistique.
The Ghost In My Pen
The ghost in my pen Has again let you in Painting my longing on paper.
A Sepia Day
I needed a smile, And none to be had, Faces as sunless
Listen To her Sing
Oh how she sings, In beautiful refrain, When caustic clouds have gathered, And the day begins to feign.
A Reverie In Rain
The clouds grow thick And start to mass As your perfume stains my pillow. While outside the winds blow foul
A Wish For You
If I could be loved, and only by you, Gone would be the gallows of loneliness, And the footsteps of despair, I would bid them adieu.
The Night Is a Thief
In the soltice of my mind The sun sets closer on longing and grief. A fortnight of Sundays, And still I find,
Pretty You Are Not
Pretty you are not, In the times I think of you. When one was a number I only viewed, Then you came and showed me two.

Stones On My Grave
Bury me with stones on my grave
Allow me the comfort of eternal sleep
Keep my tomb even, unlike that of a cave
For a shallow grave makes the devil weep.
Bury me in the warmth of the year
Forgo the cold and bitter season
Tell me your love was always sincere
To hear of such rhymes would be to my pleasin'.
Do not bring grief upon my tomb
But speak of events that has shaped our clan.
Permit the interred your breath of perfume
And recall our days as woman and man.
Allow my bones the easement of shade
The thick and sturdy cottonwood tree.

KENTUCKY Transportation News Vol. XXI, No. 24 Published by Kentuckians for Better Transportation October 2, 2009 Highway, Transit Get One-Month Extension The Senate, on Wednesday, went along with the continuing resolution passed by the House to avoid shutting down government programs, including highway and transit programs, that were due to expire at midnight, extending them to Oct. 31. The House approved the resolution last Friday. The President signed the measure yesterday. Unfortunately, the resolution does not repeal the $8.7 billion rescission of highway funding authority. Efforts by the Senate Environment and Public Work Committee leadership to forge an agreement on a three-month extension of highway and transit programs and repeal the $8.7 billion cutback in federal spending scheduled to take effect Oct. 1 failed. The House, last week, voted to extend the surface transportation program through Dec. 31, but there was no provision to repeal the rescission of $8.7 billion. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, is reportedly preparing a bill to extend the program until March 2011. The bill would also repeal the $8.7 billion rescission. Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH), ranking member of EPW, is opposed to the 18- month extension. Voinovich is an outspoken proponent of an adequately funded six-year bill sponsored by Rep. James L. Oberstar (D-MN), chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. If not restored, the rescission will mean Kentucky will give up $150.7 million in federal funding authority, significantly negating the positive effects of the ARRA spending. Based on USDOT estimates, the loss of $150.7 million will mean some 4,200 jobs will not be created. Cabinet Has Awarded 72 Percent of Highway ARRA Funding The Transportation Cabinet has bid and awarded 25 "stimulus projects" at a cost of $302.3 million including resident engineer inspection services (about 5 percent). The projects will utilize $262.9 million in stimulus money, according to information presented last week to the Budget Review Subcommittee on Transportation by KYTC Executive Advisor Russ Romine. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provides $367.8 million for projects statewide, $12.6 million for transportation enhancement, and $40.6 million for the state's four metropolitan planning organizations. State Highway Engineer Mike Hancock noted that the State Highway Plan identified $441.7 million in stimulus projects -- over-programming them by 20 percent. The Cabinet has obligated $308 million in stimulus funds, leaving $60 million to apply to $120 million in remaining projects. However, Hancock says projects have been coming in lower than their estimates, leaving approximately $15 million to apply to the over-programmed projects. Of the $40.6 million in ARRA funds dedicated to the state's four MPOs, $10 million has been obligated. Northern Kentucky will use its $8.76 million on one project and has obligated the funds. Lexington has not finalized its list of 5 to 10 projects to utilize $7.84 million and has obligated $1 million. Louisville will use its $23.1 million on some 60 projects and has obligated $250 thousand. Henderson will do one project with its $830 thousand. "G-Series" Projects – The 2009 Highway Plan authorized $231 million in GARVEE bonds for the Louisville Bridges Project and transferred the previously authorized $231 million in federal funds for the project to 24 IM, NHS, and STP projects across the state. Some $98 million of these projects have been bid and awarded, and $7.2 million has been authorized for acquisition of right of way for US 460 in Menifee Co. The projects awarded, so far, include I-64 pavement rehab in Boyd Co., $22.1 million; I-65 pavement rehab in Bullitt Co., $10.4 million; I-64 widening to six lanes in Jefferson Co., $37.7 million; and I-75 pavement rehab in Whitley Co., $24.4 million. Bond Projects – The 2009 General Assembly authorized $400 million in highway revenue bonds and designated $532.6 million in projects (SPB) to be funded with the bonds. Some $107.5 million has been authorized by the Cabinet including $21.1 million awarded. Hancock said the Cabinet had concentrated on getting the stimulus projects out quickly making them the "centerpiece" of the construction program this year, and the bond program would be the centerpiece next year with construction on many of the projects beginning in the spring. Hancock said many of the bond projects had been state funded (SP) projects on hold for long periods often necessitating reworking the design. He said the Cabinet does as much design work in house as possible but that amounts to less than 10 percent of total design. He said it takes three to six months to get a design consultant on board. Transit Capital Assistance – Kentucky received a total of $51.5 million in transit assistance and was the first in the nation to obligate all of its designated funds. Of the total funds, $21.5 million will flow through the Cabinet, and $30.1 million flows directly from the Federal Transit Administration to the individual agencies. All of the funds have been awarded: Statewide Rural, $19.201 million; Bowling Green, $1.140 million; Elizabethtown, $1.076 million; Ashland, $0.180 million; Owensboro, $1.098 million; Ft. Campbell, $0.410 million; Lexington, $5.489 million; Louisville, $18.129 million; Henderson, $0.330 million; and Northern Kentucky, $4.485 million. Congress Extends FAA Authorization for Three Months Congress has passed a three-month extension of the authorizing legislation for programs of the Federal Aviation Administration, which was scheduled to expire Sept. 30. The bill, HR 3607, continues federal aviation programs through Dec. 31. It provides $1 billion in funding for the Airport Improvement Program. The President signed the bill yesterday. This represents the sixth short-term extension for the FAA since its authorizing legislation expired in 2007. National Users Groups Support Increasing Fuel Taxes Three major business organizations and the nation's largest motorist association, last week, called on Congress to complete work on a six-year transportation bill by the end of this year and to fully fund it by increasing gasoline and diesel taxes. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers, the American Trucking Associations, and the AAA stressed their support for increased fuel taxes to pay for a robust transportation bill and asked Congress to enact substantial program reforms and to ensure that Americans know where their extra tax dollars would be going. The groups declined to cite a specific cents-per-gallon figure but said they would consider supporting a specific fuel-tax increase if proposed by Congress after they could see what it would pay for. "A penny increase would be a waste of time while 40 cents would be too big a bite," said Thomas Donohue, president of the Chamber of Commerce. He suggested that whatever number is proposed, the legislation must "put some mechanisms in place so [the gas tax] continues to go up with inflation and demand." Cabinet Seeks Three TIGER Grants Kentucky has joined with other states to seek $157.3 million from the USDOT Tiger Grants program. The USDOT received nearly 1,400 applications from all 50 states, territories and the District of Columbia vying for a share of $1.5 billion the department will award for innovative transportation projects that show significant economic and environmental promise for the nation, a region, or metropolitan area. The Kentucky projects submitted by the Cabinet are: Milton-Madison Bridge – a joint application with Indiana for $95 million to replace the superstructure of the bridge. The total cost of the project is estimated at $131 million. The bridge was originally built in 1929 and is seriously deteriorated. Hancock said the bridge is one of the four "worst" in the state, and the other three are being addressed. Big Four Bridge Renovation – a joint application with Indiana for $25 million to rehabilitate and convert an abandoned Ohio River railroad bridge at Louisville to a pedestrian and bicycle facility between Kentucky and Indiana. Short Line Rail Rehab – a joint application with Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia for $37.3 million to rehabilitate 8 short line railroads owned by R. J. Corman, including three in Kentucky. The application seeks $13 million for work in Kentucky on the Central Kentucky Line (Winchester to Louisville); Bardstown Line (connecting Bardstown to CSX line); and Memphis Line (operates between Memphis Junction, KY, and Cumberland City, TN, with a branch from Russellville to Lewisburg, KY). The lines significantly reduce highway truck traffic in Kentucky and the other states submitting the application. Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grants are a provision of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The program includes a grant pool of $1.5 billion for discretionary grants to fund projects that are expected to be completed by 2012. Projects are limited to $20 million to $300 million and must be "shovel ready." States and local governments were authorized to compete for the grants, along with transit agencies, port authorities and metropolitan planning organizations. The application deadline was Sept. 15. Awards will be announced in mid-Jan. Waddle Named Acting State Highway Engineer Acting KYTC Secretary Mike Hancock, who assumed his new job yesterday, announced the appointment of Steve Waddle, an engineer with extensive experience in highway construction and contracting, as acting state highway engineer. Waddle has served as the cabinet's deputy state highway engineer for project development since March 2009. He has held numerous positions of responsibility in a 21-year cabinet career, which began in bridge design. He has managed projects for the cabinet as a resident engineer, including the reconstruction of US 127 in Owen, Franklin and Anderson counties. Waddle was appointed director of construction procurement in 2006 and simultaneously served as deputy state highway engineer for project delivery from September 2007 to February 2008. He holds bachelor's and master's degrees in civil engineering from the University of Kentucky. He reports directly to Hancock, who also serves as commissioner of highways. Federal fuel taxes of 18.4 cents per gallon for gasoline and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel were last increased in 1993. They are not presently indexed to inflation. The purchasing power of the fuel tax has plummeted over the past 16 years. Traffic Moving at Markland Despite Failed Gate Despite a catastrophic gate failure Sunday at the Markland Locks on the Ohio River in Warsaw, tows are locking through the auxiliary 600 foot chamber. By Tuesday morning, the traffic build-up had been relieved. "The river is open, and we are locking tows through the 600 foot chamber," said Louisville District Commander Col. Keith Landry. Preliminary repair plans are underway to fix the failed downstream gate on the 1,200-by-110 foot chamber. The Corps received funding in 2009 for new miter gates for Markland. Oregon Iron Works in Eugene, OR, was awarded the contract to place new miter gates. The miter gates were scheduled for delivery in June 2010 with installation in 2011. "One prong of the repair plan is to work with Oregon Iron Works to move up the delivery date of the new set of lock gates," said Landry. "The other is to assess what kind of damage has been done to the gates and see if they can be repaired." The miter gate leaf is on the bulkhead sill on the bottom of the lock chamber. Moving the lock gate or raising it is critical to the repair plan because bulkheads need to be placed in the chamber so water can be drained from the lock chamber and the repair initiated. USDOT Launches Effort to Combat Distracted Driving At the conclusion of a two-day summit on distracted driving, USDOT Secretary Ray LaHood announced a series of actions the Obama Administration and the USDOT are taking to help put an end to distracted driving. President Obama has signed an executive order directing federal employees not to engage in text messaging while driving government-owned vehicles; when using electronic equipment supplied by the government while driving; or while driving privately owned vehicles when they're on official government business. The order also encourages federal contractors and others doing business with the government to adopt and enforce their own policies banning texting while driving on the job. "I fully expect," said LaHood, that all 58,000 DOT employees and contractors will take this order seriously. Let's show our friends and families that we can resist the temptation to answer the phone, send a message, or allow some other distraction to interfere with our driving." LaHood pledged to work with Congress to ensure that the issue of distracted driving is appropriately addressed. He also announced a number of immediate actions the Department is taking to combat distracted driving, including the Department's plan to create three separate rulemakings that would consider: Making permanent restrictions on the use of cell phones and other electronic devices in rail operations. Banning text messaging altogether, and restrict the use of cell phones by truck and interstate bus operators. Disqualifying school bus drivers convicted of texting while driving from maintaining their commercial driver's licenses. LaHood called on state and local governments to work with USDOT to reduce fatalities and crashes by making distracted driving part of their state highway plans, and by continuing to pass state and local laws against distracted driving in all types of vehicles, especially school buses. He asked states and local governments to back up public awareness campaigns with high-visibility enforcement actions. Rep. Rick Nelson, Middlesboro, and Rep. Jody Richards, Bowling Green, have pre-filed legislation (BR 118 and BR 180) to prohibit the use of a personal communication device for any person under the age of 18 while operating a motor vehicle.
