Letter: Cooperation rules in DeSoto County
I moved from Shelby County to Olive Branch six years ago, and I could not be happier. It is so refreshing to live in an area where the government actually works for the citizens.
The residents near the proposed site were against a second theater being built in this area. A city the size of Olive Branch would have trouble supporting two theaters and most of our elected officials voted against this use of the property.
On another note, many of the citizens from DeSoto County traveled to Jackson, Miss., on Tuesday to meet with some of our House members and senators to have the repealer of our "Penny for Your Parks" removed. We have twice voted in favor of the tax by a two-thirds majority. This is good for our parks, our senior citizens, our area as a tourist and athletic competition destination, and ultimately our property values. The legislators we met with were very welcoming and willing to help us have this repealer removed as soon as possible.
It is nice to live in an area where citizens and the legislature work together for the betterment of our community.

Liberia election body dismisses Weah fraud claim
By Alphonso Toweh
MONROVIA (Reuters) – Liberian electoral authorities on
Friday dismissed international soccer star George Weah's claims
that fraud had robbed him of victory in a presidential run-off
vote last month.
"The statistics provided by the CDC (Weah's party) in their
complaint do not constitute massive fraud," said Joseph Blidi,
the National Electoral Commission's (NEC) presiding officer.
"The evidence adduced was grossly insufficient. There were
some errors but they were not willful or intentional acts that
would constitute fraud," Blidi told a news conference after the
NEC concluded an investigation into Weah's complaint.
The former AC Milan striker, whose candidacy in Liberia's
first elections since a 14-year war shocked the political
elite, lost the November 8 vote to Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, a
former finance minister who became Africa's first elected
female head of state.
The polls were meant to draw a line under one of modern
Africa's most brutal conflicts, a civil war which killed a
quarter of a million people before ending in 2003 when warlord
and President Charles Taylor went into exile.
International observers have said the vote was generally
free and fair but Weah's supporters have staged repeated
protests, some of them violent, since poll results showed
Johnson-Sirleaf had won almost 60 percent of the valid votes.
Weah and his Congress for Democratic Change party could now
take their complaint to Liberia's Supreme Court if they are not
satisfied with the electoral commission's investigation.
The soccer millionaire, who has a strong following among
young Liberians, told his supporters last Sunday "liberation is
a noble cause" and said "we must fight to obtain it."
Riot police with batons and plastic shields later
surrounded his party headquarters after more than 1,000 of his
young supporters blocked traffic, smashed car windows and
pelted officers with rocks outside the compound.
Former World Bank economist Johnson-Sirleaf has been
recognized as president-elect by African leaders.
The African Union repeated its endorsement of the result on
Friday and voiced concern over "the unfolding events in
Liberia, which, if unchecked, could undermine the beginning of
democratic order ushered in by the peaceful, free and fair
Johnson-Sirleaf met U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice on Thursday and said after the meeting she hoped Weah
would support her new government.
Rice urged all factions in the West African country,
Africa's oldest independent republic which was founded in 1847
by freed American slaves, to work together to rebuild the
country, whose infrastructure is still in ruins.

Syria peace talks face total deadlock as death toll soars
Published on Feb 15, 2014 5:56 AM
GENEVA (AFP) - Syria's faltering peace process ground to total deadlock on Friday amid growing concern of complete collapse despite international pressure, as the death toll on the ground continued to soar.
On the penultimate day of the current round of UN-brokered peace talks, Syria's warring sides appeared further apart than ever, agreeing on only one thing: that the negotiations so far were going nowhere.
"We deeply regret that this round did not make any progress," said Syria's deputy foreign minister, Faisal Muqdad, after meeting UN mediator Lakhdar Brahimi.
Separately, opposition spokesman Louay Safi complained about the regime's failure to budge, acknowledging that "the negotiations have reached an impasse." As the parties in Geneva failed to agree even on an agenda for their talks, the death toll inside Syria continued to climb.

Kozhikode: The Kozhikode Timber Merchants' Association has demanded that any decision on the "lorry turn system" for transporting timber should protect small-scale merchants.
T.O. Sooraj, Director of Industries and Commerce, is studying the problems arising out the system and will submit a report.
Under the system, the merchants do not have the right to choose the vehicle to transport their goods.
Each lorry has to wait for its turn to ply.
P.V. Lakshmanan, general secretary of the association, has submitted a memorandum to Mr. Karim on the problems.
The associations says requisitions for timber from places such as Mumbai and Pune are on the decline as industries there found it more expensive than transporting timber from Mangalore when factoring in the timber and transport costs.
This has helped the merchants of Mangalore.

The Linux Community of Interest
Back in 1995, I read an article about the scarcity of webmasters and switched my specialty. I often look for hot spots and retool to meet the needs. Before 1995, Oracle Financials was hot. I just didn't care much for the rigidity of technology. But, I was an accountant and an IT guy so I had tooled up for database programming.
Once I qualified to become a webmaster, I also discovered the need for on-line transactions or Internet ecommerce. In those early days we used to say, "build it and they will come". It worked too.
The most successful Internet firm at the time was COW. They did work for the likes of Disney.COW had an interesting philosophy for generating web traffic. Their formula went like this: Content creates a Community of Interest. A community of Interest generates opportunities for revenue. At that time, revenue on the web meant advertising.
Another influence in my thinking came from the story of a Philadelphia cheesecake company. The company was 100 years old and stayed a family owned business. The latest heir had an innovative nature. They sent out a catalog and offered to put his cheesecakes on your front porch using Federal Express. I walked out to get the morning news on Christmas Eve and saw this Fedex package and inside was a cheesecake from Philadelphia as a Christmas gift from my Uncle.
The current owner of the company put up a web site advertising his Cheesecakes soon after he began his Fedex program. You could call a 1-800 toll free number and order one of his famous cheesecakes. During the first year, he said that he didn't receive one order from the Internet. He was frustrated. In that frustration he published the family's recipe that had been a secret for 100 years. Within days, the phone rang off the wall. People read the recipe and realized buying from him was a bargain as opposed to making one themselves.
What does that have to do with Linux?
Today, the proliferation of web sites has negated the rules I learned over ten years ago. "Build it and they will come" is a deprecated notion. Many of my searches today are clouded by page after page of eBay auction ads. I find it difficult to find materials I need to do my work.
If you want to develop a community of interest, good luck. I have found some niches but nothing like the traffic needed to become an overnight success. My assumptions have often gotten in the way of the new reality. Oh, I acknowledge the exceptions like Digg. It's just tough to get traffic.
The successful web sites today already have communities of interest. I went to the best hardware store in Dallas on Saturday and their new mantra is "we don't carry that any more". So, I do my shopping on the Internet if I need things like specialized "green" bug deterrents.
When I started working as a webmaster, I got hold of a little DEC Multia. I added a second network card and built firewall out of it. Red Hat had in its distribution an Alpha kernel and the TIS firewall. So, we built that firewall. At the time, Red Hat was the major commercial Linux distribution and some things actually worked.
Linux had a community of interest. At the time, approximately 30,000 people used Linux. By 1999, that ballooned to 2 million. Why? The community of interest was in place and it was poised for growth. That brings up an existential question: Is the community big because of Linux's success or is Linux's success based on the community. I can see both sides of the argument.
In a Zen style tradition, I would say that you can reach Satori with this argument. Satori, by the way, is a Japanese Buddhist term for enlightenment. A master gives the student a cosmic riddle like: What is the sound of one hand clapping? One contemplates it for whatever time it takes and in solving the riddle reaches enlightenment.
All that on the side, I say we're quite fortunate to have the community and whether it forces innovation or not, its existence gives Linux the resources necessary to continue. In that regard, build it and they have already started playing baseball.

So many tanning lotions only last as long as the time in between showers. Not the case with Hempz! If spread very evenly, it gives your skin a nice tanned glow. AND it does not rub off after a shower leaving discoloration on your towel. This product is definitely worth the extra money required if you can only afford Jergens or other similar brands.
Posted by Danielle on 16th Jul 2013
It is a great gradual tanning lotion. Smells awesome compared to some. Goes on smooth and even, also tans evenly!

my sketchbook journey // daily updated
Hey everyone,
I started drawing about three years ago (from scratch) and this community was a great motivation since then. Today I finally found the courage to create my own sketchbook. I love conceptart & illustration and hope to improve my skills by updating this sketchbook everyday. My dream is to draw and piant everything that I can imagine.
In the next few posts I will show some of the stuff I did during the last 6 months. After that I will only show current work that isn't older than one day. I'm always grateful for comments and criticism, so don't hesitate to give me some feedback
btw. if you want to see more of my works or some of my really old stuff, please visit my blog: http://my-journey-into-art.blogspot.com/

Very nice start. good work here, keep going.
September 22nd, 2011 #3
Thank you forestdino!
Here are some gesture studies and figure sketches. I use Gottfried Bammes' book for understanding bone structure, Michael Hampton's book for gesture and muscles and Vanderpoels book simply because I love every single drawing in it. Like you can see I only have learned the muscles of the torso yet... so there is much work to do

Wouzers! that is some amazing stuff you are exposing here, enjoyed watching. hope to see some more stuff soon. especially I love your watercolor human body studies, they look so fresh and alive! WOHO !
September 22nd, 2011 #6
I am surprised you are inspired by my studies... your figure sketches are amazing !! I love the line quality and the style !!! Nice works, seriously !!
I use Micheal Hampton as well, But only as a guide for an approach on simplifying. Otherwise, I usually use Google Body, and Human Anatomy for Artist to study muscle placement, insertion and origin.
And thanks for dropping by my SB Looking forward to more updates !!
September 22nd, 2011 #7
carakhan: Thanks so much! It took me a while to get into watercolor. It's a tricky medium in my opinion, but its fun!
MBardi: Hey, thanks I didn't thought I would get so much response to the watercolor gestures. I'm glad you like it!
fenixx: Oh, your sketchbook is great! I avoided more detailed anatomical studies because I'm more into constructive anatomy. But I know I should do some of them. I didn't know about "Human Anatomy for Artist" and google body btw... thanks for the tipps!
And here is some more stuff... studies from life drawing course. The models are changing position very quick (5-10 min), so I mostly just sketch them.

Dareedse: wow, thanks so much The good thing about the life drawing course is that they always have 3-4 models of several age, bodytype and gender.
WaSsiM: thanks man! Bridgman is awesome... I got a few of his books in my shelf. I will show some of my anatomy studies in my next posts.
Some drawings and studies... enjoy

Woow nice studies and also great work with the watercolors, really catching the Hurley's look
September 23rd, 2011 #12
Sweet updates !!
In fact I am more interested in constructional anatomy as well. Its just that I don't seem get my head around the simplicity of the forms and my strokes really suck. Any tips regarding the approach ?
Don't know if there was confusion but this is the book "Human Anatomy for Artists" i was referring to.
Anyway. Keep drawing
September 23rd, 2011 #13
Hey, thanks for dropping by.
Great stuff so far! The life drawings have great contour and movement in the lines, very nice. You understand form very well too from what I see.
Keep it up!

beautiful work mate!
my subconscious does not stop begging my conscious to draw.
hmm does that mean im a slave to my subconscious?
at least it doesnt beg for crack. ha.

Really nice work, keep posting and get as many studies from life as you can (to compliment the Bridgman stuff). Good skills.

fenixx: Thanks mate! I just went back to your sketchbook and looked at your works... great stuff, there's nothing wrong with your strokes! I think the line quality comes with constant practice. The more experience we gain, the more confident our lines will become.
I personally like to think of the ribcage as an egg-shape, of the pelvis as an bowl and of the extremities as clyinder forms. The first thing I would do is describe the gesture line and the weight distribution between pelvis and ribcage. Then I describe the head, arms and legs with a few lines and try to keep them related to the gesture line. When adding muscles, I like to draw crosslines around them to show how they affect the outside form of the body. Don't know if this is "a proper way", but its working for me right now. I hope this helps you a bit
Rotor: Thank you!
Rustveld: Thanks so much!

Here are some anatomical studies after Gottfired Bammes. The planes of the head are after John Asaro's model.
The rest are just some sketchbook pages, including a study I have done in the Museum of art history in Vienna. Enjoy

Thank you so much for the tips. Will be thinking about these steps while I do some studies.
The face block in looks great, but there seems to be something off with the perspective of the 3/4th skull.
Looking forward to more
September 24th, 2011 #21
Thanks for all the awesome replies!! That's a big motivation guys!!!
Today I will start posting my daily stuff. First I show some gesture drawings I did this morning as warm-ups. I still go too much into detail and have problems focusing on the movement and main shapes... I really have to work on this!!
Tipps and critics are very appreciated

Hello Baudolino! I've seen only one page, and I'm already hooked!
Wonderful figure studies you have here, with wonderful variation. I really like the red pencil one from the 10th post. Seeing some steps of it on your blog was nice as well. The 3rd and 4th image from the first post, the alley and the house are really really awesome. I like how simple, and yet have such a nice mood. I like how solid they look as well.
And what do my eyes see, Bammes studies! Hope to see some more of these. Also, some of your figure remind me of Vilppu.
Have you studied some of his work?
Thank you for visiting my sketch book, I appreciate it!

Skin cancer incidence statistics
Incidence statistics for malignant melanoma of the skin (cutaneous) by country in the UK, age and trends over time are presented here. There are also data on lifetime risk, the distribution of cases, stage at diagnosis, geographic variation, socio-economic variation, ethnicity, and prevalence.
Find out more about the coding and counting of this data.
Malignant melanoma is the 5th most common cancer in the UK (2011), accounting for 4% of all new cases. In males and females separately, malignant melanoma is the 6th most common cancer (4% each of the male and female total).1-4
In 2011, there were 13,348 new cases of malignant melanoma in the UK (Table 1.1): 6,495 (49%) in men and 6,853 (51%) in women, giving a male: female ratio of around 10:11.1-4 The crude incidence rate shows that there are 21 new malignant melanoma cases for every 100,000 males in the UK and 21 for every 100,000 females.
The European age-standardised incidence rates (AS rates) are significantly lower in Northern Ireland compared with the other countries in the UK (males only) (Table 1.1).1-4 The rates do not differ significantly between the constituent countries of the UK for females.
Table 1.1: Malignant Melanoma (C43), Number of New Cases, Crude and European Age-Standardised (AS) Incidence Rates per 100,000 Population, UK, 2011

95% LCL and 95% UCL are the 95% lower and upper confidence limits around the AS Rate
The Cancer Atlas for the UK and Ireland 1991-2000, which analysed rates at local authority and health board level, showed that male and female malignant melanoma incidence rates have a very similar geographical distribution. The highest rates for both sexes occur in south west England and in the densely populated belt of Scotland, from Glasgow in the west to Edinburgh in the east (illustrated for men in Figure 1.1).5
Similarly the latest analysis of malignant melanoma incidence rates across the former cancer networks throughout the UK reports significantly higher rates in the south and south west regions of England, whilst the incidence rates for areas of London are significantly lower than all other cancer networks.6,7 The lower rates in London reflect the higher proportions of people from non-white ethnic groups, in whom melanoma risk is lower.39
section reviewed 21/04/14
section updated 21/04/14
Malignant melanoma incidence is related to age, but it has an unusual pattern when compared with most other cancer types. In the UK between 2009 and 2011, an average of 27% of cases were diagnosed in those aged under 50 years, and an average of 24% of cases were diagnosed in the 75s and over (Figure 1.2).1-4 This is in contrast to all cancers combined (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer), where 11% of cases were diagnosed in those aged under 50 during the same period, and 36% of cases were diagnosed in those aged 75 years and over.
Age-specific incidence rates increase steadily from around age 20-24 years, reaching a peak at age 85+ years for both sexes (with the increase being sharper for males from age 55-59 years onwards). Incidence rates are higher for females than for males in the younger age groups: the difference is largest at age 20-24, when the male:female incidence ratio of age-specific incidence rates (to account for the different proportions of males to females in each age group) is 4:10. However, males have higher incidence rates from age 60-64 onwards, and the male:female ratio of age-specific rates increases with age, from around 11:10 at age 60-64 years, to more than 17:10 at age 85+ years.

Malignant melanoma incidence rates have increased overall in Great Britain since the mid-1970s (Figure 1.3).1-3 For males, European AS incidence rates were almost seven times higher in 2009-2011 than in 1975-1977. For females, the increase is smaller but rates have still quadrupled between 1975-1977 and 2009-2011. Since the mid-1970s in Great Britain, malignant melanoma incidence rates have increased more rapidly than any of the current ten most common cancers in males and females.
Some of the increase may be due to increased surveillance and early detection as well as changes in diagnostic criteria, but most is considered to be real and linked to changes in sun-related behaviour such as an increase in frequency of holidays abroad over time.8-11 A study published in December 2011 estimated that around 86% of malignant melanomas in the UK in 2010 were linked to exposure to UVR from the sun and sunbeds.12

Malignant melanoma incidence rates have increased overall for all of the broad age groups in Great Britain since the mid-1970s (Figure 1.7).1-3 The largest increases have been in people aged 65-74, with European AS incidence rates increasing more than seven-fold between 1975-1977 and 2009-2011. Incidence rates for those aged 75+ have also increased more than six-fold over the same time period.

Lifetime risk is an estimation of the risk that a newborn child has of being diagnosed with cancer at some point during their life. It is a summary of risk in the population but genetic and lifestyle factors affect the risk of cancer and so the risk for every individual is different.
In 2010, in the UK, the lifetime risk of developing malignant melanoma is 1 in 55 for men and 1 in 56 for women.29
The lifetime risk for malignant melanoma has been calculated by the Statistical Information Team using the 'Adjusted for Multiple Primaries' (AMP) method; this accounts for the possibility that someone can have more than one diagnosis of malignant melanoma over the course of their lifetime.30

Staging for malignant melanoma describes how deeply the tumour has grown into the skin, and whether it has spread. Data by stage are not yet routinely available for the UK due to inconsistencies in the collecting and recording of staging data in the past; this is improving, however, and plans for a nationally consistent dataset in England are underway.38 In the meantime, incidence by stage is available for the former Anglia Cancer Network in the east of England for the period 2006-2010.15 Anglia covers around 5% of the population of England and may not be representative of the country as a whole due to differences in underlying demographic factors (such as age, deprivation or ethnicity), as well as variation in local healthcare provision standards and policies.
The majority (66%) of men and women diagnosed with malignant melanoma present at stage I (Table 1.2),15 with the proportion being higher in women (71%) than in men (61%). Just 1% of men and women present with metastases (stage IV).

Malignant melanoma is the ninth most common cancer in Europe, with more than 100,000 new cases diagnosed in 2012 (3% of the total). In Europe (2012), the highest World age-standardised incidence rates for malignant melanoma are in Switzerland for men and Denmark for women; the lowest rates are in Albania for both men and women. UK malignant melanoma incidence rates are estimated to be the ninth highest in males in Europe, and seventh highest in females.18 These data are broadly in line with Europe-specific data available elsewhere.19
Malignant melanoma is the 19th most common cancer worldwide, with around 232,000 new cases diagnosed in 2012 (2% of the total). Malignant melanoma incidence rates are highest in Australia/New Zealand and lowest in South Central Asia, but this partly reflects varying data quality worldwide.18

Malignant melanoma incidence is strongly inversely related to deprivation in the UK; it is one of the few cancers where incidence rates are lower for more deprived men and women and there is a clear trend of decreasing rates from the least to the most deprived.21-24 The most recent England-wide data for 2000-2004 show European AS incidence rates are 122% higher for men living in the least deprived areas compared with the most deprived, and 116% higher for women.21 It has been estimated that there would have been an additional 2,000 new malignant melanoma cancer cases each year in England during 2000-2004 if all men and women had experienced the same incidence rates as the most affluent.21
A study in Scotland for 2006-2010 showed that the gap in malignant melanoma incidence by deprivation is slightly smaller, with the least deprived people having 81% higher rates, compared with the most deprived.22 Comparable associations with deprivation have also been reported in Wales and Northern Ireland.23,24
Risk factors associated with malignant melanoma such as sun exposure and sunbed use are discussed in detail on the skin cancer risk factors page.

Age-standardised rates for White males with malignant melanoma range from 13.1 to 13.6 per 100,000. Rates for Asian males are significantly lower, ranging from 0.2 to 0.8 per 100,000 and the rates for Black males are also significantly lower, ranging from 0.6 to 2.6 per 100,000. For females there is a similar pattern - the age-standardised rates for White females range from 14.7 to 15.2 per 100,000, and rates for Asian and Black females are also significantly lower ranging from 0.2 to 1.1 per 100,000 and 1.0 to 3.6 per 100,000 respectively.40
Ranges are given because of the analysis methodology used to account for missing and unknown data. For malignant melanoma, 38,097 cases were identified; 36% had no known ethnicity.

Prevalence refers to the number of people who have previously received a diagnosis of cancer and who are still alive at a given time point. Some patients will have been cured of their disease and others will not.
In the UK around 59,000 people were still alive at the end of 2006, up to ten years after being diagnosed with malignant melanoma (Table 1.3).25

Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) are extremely common, but relatively few deaths are caused by them. In 2011, there were 102,628 cases of NMSC registered in the UK:1-4 57,800 (56%) in men and 44,828 (44%) in women, giving a male:female ratio of around 13:10.1-4
The majority of NMSCs are basal cell carcinomas (BCCs, 74%) or squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs, 23%).32 The remainder comprises a mixed group of rare skin cancers; almost three in ten of these are Merkel cell carcinoma, which has a very poor prognosis.33
Both BCC and SCC are more common in males than females, though the sex difference is wider for SCC than BCC.32 The recorded incidence of BCC increased by around a third (36% in males and 32% in females) between 2000-2002 and 2008-2010 in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland combined.32 SCC incidence increased by a similar amount (34% in males and 39% in females) over the same time period.32 Whilst improved registration may partly explain these increases, some of the increase is probably genuine, reflecting increased UV exposure from the sun or sunbeds.32
NMSCs constitute a substantial burden to the national health services across the UK because of the large number of cases diagnosed each year, however NMSC incidence figures are under-estimates because the recording of NMSC is known to be incomplete.26 Many cancer registries record only the first NMSC of each histological type (e.g. BCC or SCC) per person, and information on small NMSCs treated in primary care or the private sector may never reach the registries.33 An estimated 30-50% of BCC and around 30% of SCC goes unrecorded, though this may vary by registry.34-37
Both BCC and SCC are highly treatable and survival rates for NMSCs are very high.27 However, if left untreated, these tumours can become destructive, invading local tissues and causing disfigurement.28

It is vintage Bloomberg. He will even unveil an inventory of our emissions, from every belching building to every blackened bus. News stories will, no doubt, compare Bloomie to the green governor from California, though, strangely enough, it is Chicago's stodgy Richard Daley, in the fourth decade of his family's reign, who has greened his City Hall roof and is leading America's municipal pack. The media message here will be one more tweak of presidential posturing, with almost as much energy devoted to finding the right national soundbite as perfecting the right plan.
But there still are legitimate questions about just how green this springtime bloom will be. Neither Foy, nor Rohit Aggarwala, who is running the city's sustainability project, will say if the city is still committed to a goal it already agreed tonamely, cutting the city government's emissions by 20 percent by 2010. Bloomberg was one of a crowd of mayors to sign on to the 20 percent target, but Aggarwala said last week that "few, if any of the cities are set to achieve that goal," adding: "I can't tell you whether we will."
The council hasn't been much of a prod to hit the old goal either, though it once shared it. Speaker Christine Quinn, who sounds more and more like a deputy mayor, and Jim Gennaro, the usually visionary chair of the council's environmental committee, have actually become members of Bloomberg's sustainability advisory board, preferring, apparently, a share in policymaking to critical oversight. Gennaro shelved Intro 20, a bill he pushed for two years that would have mandated the 20 percent, nudged, he concedes, by the make-nice-at-all-times speaker.
He's confident the mayor's plan will do better, pointing out that the baseline for Bloomberg's PlaNYC is the present, while his bill's baseline was 1994, meaning the council proposal used a lower level of emissions as the starting point to measure the cut.
Of course, the Bloomberg goal is grander. But it's also much farther away, and largely the job of future mayors. Bloomberg will be mayor through 2009. Setting goals for 2030 is easy when you'll be long gone, and it will help the public forget about 2010 promises. Of course, there's no reason why adopting the 2030 agenda would require abandoning the more limited and immediate one, and maybe Bloomberg won't.
But the head of the mayor's Office of Environ-mental Coordination, Bob Kulikowski, testified at a Gennaro hearing last June that "current and planned measures" would only get the city to 12 percent, and that "we have more work to do over the next four years" to hit 20 percent. That suggests why Bloomie may want to wiggle out of it and sound like he's moving on up when he did. Like Aggarwala, Gennaro now concedes he has no idea if Bloomberg will even continue to think of it as a goal. That will be the test of the authenticity of whatever Bloomberg says in April.
So will changes in the 40-year-old building code. So will the actual regulatory implementation of Intro 86, a 2005 council law that puts the city's money behind its green-building mouth but has yet to take effect because of Bloomberg delays. So will green roofs, which can dramatically cut the kind of extreme heat that killed 140 New Yorkers in the August wave of 2006, an innovation that Emily Lloyd and others in the administration are championing. So will a full recognition of the need to make adapting our infrastructure and development part of "day-to-day decision-making," as the city's top climate adviser, Cynthia Rosenzweig, has urged.
To be really green, the mayor will have to have guts.

Human language and thought evolved to facilitate this not in order to travel independantly through the ether conjuring truth from its own structure and by sticking to anything else it could find and then dragging it around. Talk, writing and thought are out of hand. Lets bring them back to sharing experiences between friends and otherwise living our interdependance.
Surprisingly the difference between novice and experienced nursery children is that the novice children see no difference between social conventions such as `not putting the crayons away' and taking what another child is playing with. Experienced children are acutely aware of the difference between social convention and morality ( not taking from someone else, not physically man handling them etc). Studies show that they do not learn the difference from the behaviour, emotional responses and talk of the responsible adults. The adults behave, even subtly, in the same way for both (this is also true of the home environment). They learn from the way their peers react. Their peers could not care less about the crayons, except when they are frightened of being told off by the adults, but show distress, aggression etc when something is taken or they are manhandled. Moral principles come directly from our relationship with one another mediated by nothing else!! By the way the adults in nusery settings believe that they teach the children moral principles and so to do their parents. Why do they believe this? Because they have told them. The light does not come from, through or by words. As children get older talk about moral principles does involve parents and teachers but your friends still drive the whole business. You are as good as the company you keep.
There are a whole lot of things we can draw from this finding. All of them about the dangers of denaturing human experience. Perhaps even we have been reduced to only being able to talk about living.

Living without `thinking'

Yes indeed Robert - please allow me to share an experience with you that illustrates your point - Some years ago, my Father told me why he gave up smoking. Apparently, when I was about five years old, my Father, having known the dangers for years, had a conversation with me that went something like this...
"Daddy, does smoking make you die?"
"Yes, Son."
"Don't die, Daddy."

07.09.05 A very interesting heavyweight fight has been added to the undercard of the event on September 28 which features the WBO heavyweight championship between Lamon Brewster and Luan Krasniqi in the main event. Alexander Dimitrenko, 19-0 (12), a 23-year-old heavyweight prospect of the Universum stable, will face two-time world title challenger Vaughn Bean, 45-5 (34), in his 20th professional contest.
Bean failed to lift portions of the world title against Michael Moorer in 1997 and against Evander Holyfield in 1998. Each time he lost a close or competitive decision. The only man to defeat Bean inside the distance became Vitali Klitschko four years later when he stopped the short and durable man from Chicago in round eleven.
Two fights ago the 31-year-old Bean took on Cuban Yanqui Diaz, single conqueror of former cruisererweight champion Juan Carlos Gomez, and was on the unpleasant end of a close split decision again.
IBF Youth champion Dimitrenko will be way taller (2,00m versus 1,83m) but also way less experienced (20 fights versus 50 fights) when takes on the unorthodox Bean in his so far most serious test.
In his most recent fight Dimitrenko knocked out German heavyweight champion Andreas Sidon on July 2 in the second round to lift the WBO and IBF intercontinental titles.
The Brewster-Krasniqi world title event takes place at the huge Color Line Arena of Hamburg. On the day of the event, September 28, 2005, German boxing legend Max Schmeling would have turned 100. He passed away in February at age 99.
Universum: +49 - 40 - 69 65 59 59
