DaedalusX64 – Revision: 1791
Daedalus is back once again, (Well it never really went away) and with all the Ps Vita news being reported this week, Daedalus' release got overlooked for newer and shinier news items.
But I say nay!! We will report on this as well
As many of you old guys like me will know Daedalus is the N64 emulator to have on your Psp, that has always been the and as far as we can see, will always be the way!
Luckily, you guys with the Vita are being left out, and infact those of you that can enjoy your Psp homebrew on your shiny new Vita's can also enjoy playing Mario Kart 64 in all it retro glory!
Instruction for installation:
PSP Installation:
To install all you have to do is place the DaedalusX64 folder in the PSP/GAME folder.
If you don't have Custom Firmware (CFW) you'll need to download the Signed version.
Vita installation:
Currently with how Vita homebrew works you'll need a save file from any of your PSP games that are installed on your Vita (aside from the one with the exploit) on your PC via Open CMA (see wololo.net for the latest Open CMA release). Download the unsigned version of DaedalusX64 and rename the zip file "INSTALL.ZIP". Then move it inside of the PSP saved file folder you transferred to your PC. Then transfer the PSP save file back onto your Vita. Once there you can use your exploit to load the PSP save file (with DaedalusX64 in it) to start.
Now, all of you guys who don't have CFW on your Psp, you are not being left out either, Those nice people over there have also released a Signed version just for you
The changelist can be found here (Bear in mind this holds the changes for both Psp and Pc versions of Daedalus)
Unsigned Version:
Signed Version:
Please note that if you are currently running CFW it is recommended that you run the Unsigned version rather than the Signed version.
Now enjoy

8 Must-Eat Mexican Sandwiches in Chicago
Wrong on the pambazo - El Habanero's is incredible!
eating my way across chicago.
Wrong on the pambazo - El Habanero's is incredible!
I've had the Ruhlman flat spoons for years. They're perfect for scraping fond up from the bottom of a pan for sauces/soups. He just had a cyber sale or whatever, too. I bought the 3-pack and have yet to use the largest one, if that helps anyone.
@Copperkettle218 were it stuffed then cooked it would be a pupusa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupusa)
You can still get crusty loaves at: Provenance, Dill Pickle, and Half Italian. As well as La Farine up Milwaukee...
Anne's last name is Kostroski, and she runs Crumb bread which is also awesome (http://www.crumbchicago.com/)
As someone who cooks mostly vegetarian myself, I find some of this list a bit odd. For beans I use my Le Creuset dutch oven (the low temp oven method and I make a huge batch and freeze most of it), and for soups this time of year; my food processor is invaluable, as is my kitchen aid mixer. I've never used the peeler you show, I use the straight one with ease. ;)
For books I find Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything Vegetarian is my go-to, along with this other weird Vegetarian book my mom got me in college - I can't find it on amazon but the beginning pages have VERY useful information about the different types of rice, spices, cruciferous vegetables, nightshades, etc.
I don't trust a list without Paulina Meat Market.
If Cincinnati is in the Midwest, then Newport, KY is (it's just across the Ohio river).
It's funny how you can always tell where the SE team lives or is from, because they don't venture from those cities too awfully much.
Growing up in northeast Ohio and being very used to the Friday Night Fish Fry (especially in the summer, and with Lake Erie perch, no less!), it has always been rather odd to me that it didn't exist here in Chicago. Then again, it doesn't seem like many people here actually FISH the Lake Michigan, and I certainly wouldn't fish the Chicago River...
and Nick, if you end up doing a piece on fish tacos and don't include El Cid, I will not be able to forgive you.
yeah, on the affordable end, I'd add Lula (the old room, the new half's a bit lighter/brighter).
Since the loop is kind of large (or some people have limited lunch time in which to run more than a couple of blocks to grab a bite), I think it would be helpful to put the address of the restaurant up under the photo, much like where you have "Get the Recipe", so one can decide whether or not it's worth clicking further to look at awesome food that may be 5 blocks from their office instead of around the corner. =)
Kenji - why no chocolate or coffee in this one, as compared to your meaty "Best Chili Ever" recipe?
I think someone may have posted this recipe in your BCE comments, and I've followed it for veggie chili before and it's been amazing. I suppose you could put in wheat berries or barley or something if you weren't into TVP.
What, no crack dip in the Munchies section? I'm sorry, "Buffalo wings in dip form", whatever, that shit's the best on football Sunday! Unless you assume we all already know how to make it, in which case, you're right, we should! ;-)
a friend got a groupon for this place shortly after it opened and we went - cocktails were killer, beer list was awesome, and the food was great. I believe she's gone back since and has not been disappointed. neither of us got the burger but holy cow does it look good (pun intented. I think...)
Don't you wonder, too, how much of it is the fact that people you're working with (most, at least) have only ever had HFCS Coke their entire lives? That people are picking the old familiar flavor over something they've maybe had a handful of times?
Additionally, I have seen glass bottles in my still pretty darn Hispanic neighborhood with "Mexican Coke" with HFCS, so it is out there. I was almost tricked but luckily I read the ingredient label before I bought the darn thing.
wrong wrong wrong, simply for the exclusion of Coalfire.
no cornstarch or egg for thickener? doesn't this get icy rather quickly?
made these for breakfast today with apricot peach jam and almond milk, threw some slivered almonds into the batter, and topped with a few almonds and a brown sugar/cinnamon mix.
as far as jam use, my partner has gotten me into the habit of putting jam on all manner of deli sandwiches - one piece of bread gets mustard, the other gets whatever kind of jam goes best with the meat (blackberry w/ ham, apricot or quince w/ turkey).
Hey Hannah, last paragraph of "Getting in With the Cheese" - it's once IN a while, not once and a while. FYI.
Otherwise keep up the good work (and as I've said before, consider getting someone to proofread before you post here ;)
what @agoodcooker said - a friend returned from Kyoto with at least 12 different varieties of Kit Kats, from green tea to soy to melon flavored ones. that would be the real taste test.
@WannabeTVchef - I believe the word you're looking for is sordid...
Uhh... it's adobo sauce.
I'm with others that would take Jim over Jack any day; I've heard nothing but good things from friends about this Evan character, I'll have to check him out next time I'm in the market.
Also, I don't get the "awful penmanship" jab, unless it's an inside joke. I prefer legible penmanship like that to the bubbly writing you often see come out of young women (says a woman who is no longer so young).
Yes! This soup is the best, though that cafe is damn pricey.
@GretaGrace - I have a friend that works in advertising and one of his clients is Depend. that's right, the old people diapers have the same problem Nordstrom does. ;)
god, I hate Vampire Weekend. but I love horchata more, mostly because I want to make horchata ice cream. yum.
Barbecue, that is. Apparently people in Charlotte are offended that the first lady said it was a good town for BBQ, when in fact the state's Barbeque Center is in Lexington.
What say you, doth the media protest too much?
Living in Chicago myself, which has seen a boom in BBQ business in the past few years, I think her acknowledging the state's finely sauced meat is a wonderful thing, even if she didn't get the exact city it's famous for correct.
Since the Sam Adams article was just an excuse to write about Sam Adams (which is fine, but when two teams from small markets are playing, wouldn't it be nice to at least highlight what they have to offer??)
What are your favorite beers from either Pittsburgh?
(I'll allow for the entire state of PA, since the only beer I think of when I think of Pittsburgh is Iron City, which... more like Iron Shitty)
What are your favorite beers from Wisconsin?
SE Editors - it's pretty sad when MSNBC does a better job of covering this than you do!
First off, yes, I have already read this talk thread.
My partner and I recently had some fantastic glogg at The Whistler here in Chicago -- it had the requisite raisins and almonds in it, but the bartender said he'd put a bit of almond syrup in as well. Any other advice? What kind of wine to use? Do you have to use vodka (seems a little out of place for a warming winter drink, unless you're only using it because it's a neutral spirit and shouldn't effect the other flavors you're adding)? We bought some figs and they will likely be part of the drink somehow.
Thanks in advance!
this seems like cooking 101, but I have a real issue with cooking beans it would seem.
I've bought good beans (Rancho Gordo), soaked them overnight in cold water in the fridge, and tried my darndest to bring them just to a boil and then turn them down to barely a simmer so as not to agitate them and have them burst/skins crack. I'm cooking mostly in just water, sometimes with some carrot or onion thrown in, never salt until the very end.
can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? or am I just not meant to cook beans??
I'm leaving tomorrow for 3 nights, and am seriously on a budget. I'll be staying near 16th & Mission, but anywhere near the BART would be great. Thanks in advance!
I owe the man in my life a belated birthday dinner, and he's a big fan of Korean BBQ. Unfortunately, this is one cuisine I know nothing about. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
First attempt at making strata this weekend didn't go so well. It came out french toast-like consistency bread on the bottom with veggies on top, not very covered in eggy goodness. I loosely followed this recipe with regards to egg/milk amounts, doing kale, onion, and tomatoes for veggies. No cheese because the SO doesn't do cheese. My bread may not have been dry enough because it was so f%^*ing humid this weekend in Chicago, and I'd like to have the oven on as little as possible.
Any tips/suggestions for what I may have done wrong, or advice to make it right?
For a long time, I could never get into eggplant. It always seemed mushy and bitter to me, and preparations were often oily, so I tended to avoid it. But then I discovered long, skinny varieties of eggplant from Asia (you often see them at farmers' markets) that come in all different colors, have a thinner skin, and less bitter seeds. Their flavor is more mild and delicate, and they just might convert you, too. More

La Toya Jackson eyes 'Dancing With the Stars'
Michael Jackson's sister La Toya may return to the spotlight during primetime.
La Toya, a pop artist in her own right who had minor hits in the '80s, is reportedly in "serious discussions" to join "Dancing With the Stars" next season, according to Us magazine.
"She's a big fan of the show, and being from a musical family, it would be a good fit," her rep says.
Say what you will (like doesn't La Toya look eerily like Charo here?), but the Jackson family has distinguished themselves with their dance skills.

Full text not available from this repository.
Simultaneous Chandra X-ray and Hubble Space Telescope FUV observations of Jupiter's aurorae carried out in February 2003 have been re-examined to investigate the spatial morphology of the X-ray events in different energy bands. The data clearly show that in the Northern auroral region (in the main auroral oval and the polar cap) events with energy > 2 keV are located at the periphery of those with energy < 2 keV and coincide with FUV bright features. In addition, X-ray spectra extracted from the areas where the two event distributions are concentrated possess different shapes. We associate the > 2 keV events (similar to 45 MW emitted power) with the electron bremsstrahlung component recently revealed by XMM-Newton in the spectra of Jupiter's aurorae, and the < 2 keV emission (similar to 230 MW) with the product of ion charge exchange, now established as the likely mechanism responsible for the soft X-ray Jovian aurora. We suggest that the same population of energetic electrons may be responsible for both, the X-ray bremsstrahlung and the FUV emission of Jupiter's aurorae. Comparison of the > 2 keV X-ray and FUV (340 GW) powers measured during the observations shows that they are broadly consistent with the predicted emissions from a population of energetic electrons precipitating in the planet's atmosphere, thus supporting our interpretation.

Using wetland plants to restore contaminated soilCROOKSTON, Minn. — Research at the University of Minnesota-Crookston could improve the safety of the human food chain. Katy Smith, a professor at the school, is studying the impact of wetland plants on the restoration of contaminated soil sediments.
By: Jonathan Knutson, Agweek
CROOKSTON, Minn. — Research at the University of Minnesota-Crookston could improve the safety of the human food chain.
Katy Smith, a professor at the school, is studying the impact of wetland plants on the restoration of contaminated soil sediments.
"The hypothesis is, we're going to have conditions that are optimal for remediation in saturated conditions using these wetland plants," she says of her research.
Remediation is fixing or correcting something bad. Phytoremediation uses plants to clean up contaminated soils, sediments or waters
Think of it this way:
Contaminants from fields, parking lots and other sources run off into neighboring wetlands, rivers and lakes, where they accumulate and work their way up the human food chain.
Smith's research involves using bacteria associated with plants such as cattails to "chew on" the contaminants as a food source, releasing it later as inert carbon dioxide.
Bacteria naturally found in the soil would break down the contaminants. But oxygen isn't available in saturated soil, which keeps the bacteria from doing its job.
Smith's study uses plants that bring in more oxygen than regular plants, allowing the bacteria to kick in.
Field of expertise
Smith, a Jamestown, N.D., native and 2001 graduate of the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, earned her doctorate in environmental soil science in 2005 from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind.
After receiving her doctorate, she was a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, where her work involved using vegetative filter strips to capture pesticides in runoff from turf grass systems.
She later served as a soil scientist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service.
Her research interests include phytoremediation of polluted soils and sediments, radial oxygen loss from plants and soil management practices to improve soil quality and productivity.
She joined the University of Minnesota-Crookston in 2008.
Project progressing
Her current project began three years ago, with Smith identifying the wetland plants holding the most potential for remediation.
This winter, she and other scientists at the Crookston school will evaluate the results of laboratory tests, a process that Smith says likely will take several months.
Ideally, the project would expand to field testing in summer 2012, if sites and funding can be obtained, she says.
"If there's a farmer that has a riparian zone, we'd be interested," she says.
Riparian zones are narrow strips of land that border creeks, rivers or other bodies of water, providing a buffer between land and water.
Beth Walters, a student at the University of Minnesota-Crookston, is helping Smith with the research project.
"It means a lot to me to be part of this. I believe it can lead to a lot of good," she says.

2002 Pontiac Grand AmGloriaLT, Garden City, MI, September 10, 2013 17:43I have a 2002 Grand am GT, my throttle sensor keeps going bad. I have had to replace it 4 times in the past year, I took it to the dealer and the only code is coming up is for the throttle sensor, when I put the new one on my car drives fine for about 3 months. What could make this sensor keep going bad? I cleaned my throttle body this past weekend, I'm puzzled on why it keeps going bad. Can anyone answer this question for me? I'm so aggravated with this car.Enthusiast
2002 Pontiac Grand Ambradguy10, Livingston, LA, November 25, 2010 17:35I have got a 2002 grand am no major problems has 232,576 miles on and still going strong i would not have a problem taking it anywhere i want,i did have to replace the fuel pump at about 200,000 and window clips did brake other than that great carRookie
2002 Pontiac Grand AmVisitor, Ojai, CA, August 03, 2010 18:20This is the best car I've ever had- 188,000 miles with no major repairs since i bought it in 2002. Very reliable! Only a few things to report- Had the automatic window clips on passenger side break, one fuel pump replaced, and radio light go out. Did have to replace the gas cap- but got a locking one anyway. Still runs strong with no noises, shimmies, or problems.
2002 Pontiac Grand Amflash53, Valencia, PA, June 26, 2010 19:48I love my 2002 Grand Am GT with a 3.4 in it. I have had it for six years it has 146,000 and is still going. I recommend it to anyone. Do not buy a 1999 grand am though. there were a lot of problems with that year.Rookie
2002 Pontiac Grand AmMotorMoron, Clinton Township, MI, September 07, 2009 09:36This has been, well, a real machine. I drive a 2002 Grand Am GT, and racked up 165,000 on it in that time. Other than minor typical problems that afflict any car, this thing has been great! Starts fine, drives great, smooth ride....a good basic ride w/ a bit of style. The only major problems I've had were because of AFTERMARKET parts: a wheel leak issue (bent aftermarket rims), and intermittent ignition lockouts (aftermarket remote starter triggered the alarm lockout feature). All in all, a great reliable car, that take a beating by me and still keeps cruising! :DEnthusiast

"I'll never use this in real life!" "How is math going to matter, other than for a grade in school?"
How many times have you heard your kids complain about math before? How many times have you, as an adult, thought the same things? Math is only useful if you're going to be a math teacher, right?
Not true! You might be surprised to know that not only is math useful in everyday life – elementary math skills are in fact predictors of success in other subjects as students pass through higher grades in school and beyond.
Greg Duncan, a professor who is part of the National Academy of Science (NSA), and his team of researchers have studied the effects of certain skills and deficits of students on achievement in school and later in life. In the School Readiness and Later Achievement study, Duncan and his team uncovered the fact that learning early in a student's career affects their achievement in middle school, high school and beyond. Even more telling is the importance of K-5 math skills over reading skills, behavior issues and social skills. The study found that when students' math skills are nurtured and developed at an early stage, those students are more likely to succeed later in their school careers.
Every effort should be made to strengthen students' math skills at an early age to help ensure their future success in school and in possible careers. Encourage your children and support their success by getting them the math help they need to succeed in life.

The Bachelorette
Spotted: Emily Maynard and Jef Holm Celebrate His Birthday in New York City
Emily Maynard and Jef Holm have finally come out of The Bachelorette closet with their burning love, and they can't keep their hands off each other! This happy couple spent Jef Holm's 28th birthday (Tuesday, July 24th) at Abe & Arthur's in New York City for a romantic dinner, and sources say Emily was all over her man.
"During dinner, Emily could not stop looking at Jef," a lucky eye-witness tells Us Weekly. "She is clearly smitten by him and he dotes on her."
When Em and Jef weren't feasting on each other's lips, they were busy eating filet mignon, mashed potatoes, and birthday cake with a few Bachelorette producers! "They continuously were whispering into each other's ears," the source says. "At one point, the pair posed for a photo of Jef kissing Emily's check. It was very sweet."
Awww, Jemily! Somewhere, Arie Luyendyk, Jr. is scribbling frantically in his journal.

Glendale council to vote on controversial billboards
PHOENIX -- A packed house is expected Tuesday when the Glendale City Council meets to decide the fate of two controversial proposed billboards.
The council will vote on whether to allow the non-electronic billboards to be built near Bell Road and the Loop 101 freeway. The city of Peoria, which borders Glendale, opposes the billboards.
"These are going to be 85-foot tall billboards," said Bo Larsen, director of communications for the city of Peoria. "They're going to be massive, they're going to be ugly and they're going to be right in people's backyards."
The company that wants to build them, Becker Boards, denies that. It said the billboards will not be visible from any home in either Glendale or Peoria. The closest Peoria home is 730 feet away.
Larsen contended that some Glendale city agencies have already rejected the plan.
"The planning department said that they don't want billboards, and the planning and zoning commission said that they don't think billboards would be a good thing to have," he said. "If the city council approves it, we'll be disappointed."
An attorney for Becker Boards, Jordan Rose, believes that Peoria has another motive for opposing the billboards.
"Peoria would like to construct these billboards themselves (in Peoria) because they would like to use revenue from the boards to finance their sports and entertainment district to compete with Glendale's Westgate," he said.
She noted Peoria has been extensively campaigning against putting the billboards up in Glendale.
"There are public records to show that Peoria has had some involvement in putting up 4,000 door hangers in opposition," said Rose. "That obviously speaks to some motivation that's bigger than billboards on a freeway next to a car dealership."
But Larsen insisted that there is no interest in building the billboards in Peoria.
"Peoria doesn't want to do billboards," he said. "We're not opposed to Glendale having them, but if they stick with their current ordinance, which means keeping them in their entertainment and sports district, we'd be satisfied with that."
Rose said dollar figures aren't available, but the billboards would bring a substantial amount of tax revenue to Glendale.

The New Statesman Essay - Markets 'R' Us
Business is the new religion; in an extraordinary historical reversal, those who oppose it are arrog
Business is the new religion; in an extraordinary historical reversal, those who oppose it are arrog
by Thomas Frank Published
In 1998, a commercial for IBM's Lotus division danced across American television screens to the tune of REM's Nietzschean anthem, "I Am Superman". As throngs of humanity went about their business, a tiny caption asked: "Who is everywhere?" In response, IBM identified itself both with the people and with the name of God as revealed to Moses: the words "I Am" scrawled roughly on a piece of cardboard and held aloft from amid the madding crowd. The questions continued, running down the list from omnipresence to omniscience and omnipotence - "Who is aware?", "Who is powerful?" - while scenes of entrepreneurial achievement pulsated by: an American business district, a Chinese garment factory, a microchip assembly room, and the seat of divine judgement itself, the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange. "I can do anything," sang a winsome computer voice.
If there was something breathtaking about this particular bit of corporate autodeification, there was also something remarkably normal about it. Americans had already made bestsellers of books such as God Wants You to be Rich and Jesus, CEO. "The Market's Will be Done" was the title that Tom Peters, guru of gurus, chose for a chapter of his bestselling 1992 management book, while the techno-ecstatic Kevin Kelly, in his Out of Control (1994), referred to his list of "new economy" pointers as "The Nine Laws of God".
What the term new economy really describes is not some novel state of human affairs but the final accomplishment of the long-standing agenda of the richest class. Once, Americans imagined that economic democracy meant a reasonable standard of living for all - that freedom was only meaningful once poverty and powerlessness had been overcome. Today, American opinion leaders seem convinced that democracy and the free market are simply identical. There is little that is new about this idea, either: for nearly a century, equating the market with democracy was the familiar defence of any corporation in trouble with union or government. What is new is this idea's triumph over all its rivals; the determination of American leaders to extend it to all the world; the belief among opinion-makers that there is something natural, something divine, something inherently democratic about markets.
Wherever one looked in the 1990s, entrepreneurs were occupying the ideological space once filled by the labour movement. It was businessmen who were sounding off against the arrogance of elites, railing against the privilege of old money, waging a relentless war on hierarchy. They were market populists, adherents of the most powerful political mythology of the age.
Their fundamental faith was a simple one. The market and the people were essentially one and the same. By its very nature, the market was democratic, perfectly expressing the popular will through the machinery of supply and demand, poll and focus group, superstore and internet. In fact, the market was more democratic than any of the formal institutions of democracy - elections, legislatures, government. The market was infinitely diverse, permitting without prejudice the articulation of all tastes and preferences. Most importantly of all, the market was militant about its democracy. It had no place for snobs, for hierarchies, for elitism, for pretence.
As the Newsweek columnist Robert Samuelson said in 1998, "the market 'R' us". Whatever the appearances, it acted always in our interests, on our behalf, against our enemies. This is how the New York Stock Exchange, long a nest of privilege, could be understood in the 1990s as a house of the people; how any niche marketing could be passed off as a revolutionary expression - an empowerment, even - of the demographic at which it was aimed.
Market populism was just the thing for a social order requiring constant doses of legitimacy. It builds all manner of populist fantasies: of businessmen as public servants, of industrial and cultural production as a simple reflection of popular desire, of the box office as a voting booth. By consuming the fruits of industry, we the people are endorsing the industrial system, voting for it in a plebiscite far more democratic than a mere election.
As business leaders melded themselves theoretically with the people, they found powerful arguments against those who sought to regulate or control private enterprise. Since markets express the will of the people, virtually any criticism of business could be described as despicable contempt for the common man. According to market populism, elites were no longer those who spent their weekends at Club Med or watched sporting events from a skybox or fired half their workforce and shipped the factory south. Since the rich - particularly the new rich - were the chosen of the market, they were the very emblem of democratic modesty, humble adepts of the popular will. Elitists were the people on the other side of the equation: the labour unions and Keynesians who thought that society could be organised in any way other than the market way. Since what the market did - no matter how whimsical, irrational or harmful - was the will of the people, any scheme to operate outside its auspices or to control its ravages was by definition a dangerous artifice, the hubris of false expertise.
This fantasy of the market as an anti-elitist machine was couched in the language of social class. Businessmen and right-wing politicians have always deplored the use of "class war" by their critics on the left; during the 1990s, though, they happily used the tactic themselves, depicting the workings of the market as a kind of permanent social revolution in which daring entrepreneurs were endlessly toppling fat cats and snatching away the millions of the lazy rich kids. The new economy was a narrative of class warfare: wherever its dynamic new logic touched down, old money was said to quake and falter. Opera-going chief executives were giving way to those who wore goatees and fancied the rhymes of the street; the scions of ancient banking families were finding their smug selves wiped out by the new-jack trading of a working-class kid; the arrogant stockbrokers of old were being humiliated by the online day-traders; white men were getting their asses kicked by women, Asians, Africans, Hispanics.
Market populism encompasses such familiar set pieces as Rupert Murdoch's endless efforts to cast himself as a man of the people beset by cartoon snobs such as the British aristocracy; or Detroit's long-running use of Americans' liking for cars to depict even the most practical and technical criticisms of the automobile industry (seat belts, airbags, fuel efficiency and so on) as loathsome expressions of a joyless elite. When the public began to sour on the big American cars of the 1950s, according to the culture critic John Keats, "Detroit decided . . . that the criticism was nothing but a lot of nittering and nattering emanating from a few aesthetes and intellectuals from the effete East - from the kind of people who drove Volkswagens and read highbrow magazines just to show off".
In the 1990s, these fantasies flowered spectacularly. Not only was the new economy, that vision of the market unbound, believed to be crushing the privilege of inherited wealth, but it was also said to constitute a standing refutation of the learning of traditional elites. Its stock market valuations, so puzzling to economists and old brokerage hands, were crystal clear to the little guy. New economy companies were doing without entire layers of experts and bureaucrats; they were turning their backs on standard methods of teaching and learning; they were tearing up the carefully designed flow charts and job descriptions of old.
Historically, populism was a rebellion against the corporate order, a political tongue reserved by definition for the non-rich and the non-powerful. The "common people" were the working class: the "elite" the owners and managers of industry.
From 1968, this primal set piece of American democracy changed its stripes. The war between the classes somehow reversed polarity. It was now a conflict in which the patriotic, blue-collar "silent majority" (along with their employers) faced off against a new elite, the "liberal Establishment", and its spoiled, flag-burning children. This new ruling class - liberal journalists, liberal academics, liberal politicians and the shadowy powers of Hollywood - earned the people's wrath not by exploiting workers or ripping off family farmers, but by showing contemptuous disregard for the wisdom and values of average Americans. Backlash populism proved immensely powerful and for 30 years right-wing populists were forever reminding "normal Americans" of the hideous world that the "Establishment" had built, a place where blasphemous intellectuals violated the principles of Americanism at every opportunity, a place of crime on the streets, of unimaginable cultural depravity, of disrespect for men in uniform, of judges gone soft on crime and politicians gone soft on communism.
In 1988, George Bush managed to win the presidency by spreading alarm about flag-burning, a now non-existent threat that older voters remembered with horror from 20 years before. This was not a trick that could be repeated too many more times. Even though the culture wars reached their outrageous peak in the decade that followed - the bombing of abortion clinics and government buildings, the brief notoriety of gun shows and right-wing militias, the impeachment of President Clinton - they also began visibly to subside. It was during the impeachment proceedings that the backlash, running now on little more than 30-year-old rage, reached a state of obvious exhaustion. The public was slipping away. In the battle of the focus groups, the president was winning easily. Nobody seemed to care any more about the betrayal of the bureaucrats, about the secular humanists' designs on family values, about the flag-burning kids from the rich suburbs, or even about the communistic professors, trashing the great books and blaming America first. Clearly, something new was needed.
This was where market populism came to the rescue. Backlash populism had envisioned a scheming liberal elite whose members thought they knew what was best for us - bussing, integration, the coddling of criminals. Market populism simply shifted the inflection. Now the crime of the elite was not so much an arrogance in matters of values but in matters economic. Still, those elitists thought they were better than the people, but now their arrogance was revealed by their passion to raise the minimum wage, to regulate, oversee, redistribute and tax.
But there were other critical differences. While the backlash had been proudly square, market populism was cool. Far from despising the 1960s, it broadcast its fantasies to the tune of a hundred psychedelic hits. Its leading think-tanks were rumoured to pay princely sums to young people who could bring some smattering of rock'n'roll street cred to the market's cause. And believing in the market rather than God, it had little need for the Christian right and the moral majority. It dropped the ugly race-baiting of the previous right-wing dispensation, choosing instead to imagine the market as a champion of the downtrodden. Market populism abandoned the "family values" of Ronald Reagan; it gave not a damn for the traditional role of women or even of children. The more who entered the workforce, the merrier.
This change has been difficult for many to grasp. For writers schooled in the culture wars, the most important conflict was and will always be the one between the hip and the square, the flag-burning and the church-going, the hippie and the suit. But as the 1990s progressed, as jeans replaced suits in the offices of America and as the ultra-hip culture of cyberspace became the culture of the corporation generally, business increasingly imagined itself on the other side of the equation.
For the majority of American workers, wages in the 1990s either fell or barely kept pace with inflation. But for top corporate executives these really were years in which to stand up and say "I Am". Between 1990 and 1999, chief executive income went from 85 times more than what average blue-collar employees got to around 475 times more. In Japan, meanwhile, that multiple stood at about 11 times, and in Britain - the country most enamoured of new economy principles after the US itself - 24 times.
Market populism, and the concept of the new economy, have helped to legitimise all this. They add up to a set of beliefs that, once enacted into public policy, has permitted an upward transfer of wealth unprecedented in our lifetimes; it is a collection of symbols and narratives that understand the resulting wealth polarisation as a form of populism, as an expression of the people's will.
It is a fraud. The formula "one dollar, one vote" - invented by the influential New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman - is not the same thing as universal suffrage, as the complex, hard-won array of rights that most Americans understand as their political heritage. Nor does it mitigate the obscenity of wealth polarisation one whit when the richest people ever in history tell us they are "listening" to us, that theirs are "interactive" fortunes, or that they have unusual tastes and work particularly hard. Markets may look like democracy, in that we are all involved in their making, but they are fundamentally not democratic. We did not vote for Bill Gates; we didn't all sit down one day and agree that we should only use his operating system and we should pay for it just however much he thinks is right. We do not go off to our jobs checking telephone lines or making cold calls or driving a forklift every morning because this is what we want to do: we do it because it is the only way we can afford food, shelter and medicine. The logic of business is coercion, monopoly and the destruction of the weak, not "choice" or "service" or universal affluence.
"Democracies prefer markets but markets do not prefer democracies," writes the political scientist Benjamin Barber in Jihad vs McWorld, one of the most thoughtful recent books on the new capitalism. "Having created the conditions that make markets possible, democracy must also do all the things that markets undo or cannot do." Markets are interested in profits and profits only; service, quality and general affluence are different functions altogether. The universal, democratic prosperity that Americans now look back to with such nostalgia was achieved only by reining in markets, by the gargantuan effort of mass, popular organisations such as labour unions and of the people themselves, working through a series of democratically elected governments not daunted by the myths of the market.
The thinkers behind market populism have a word for this argument: they call it "cynicism". One comes across denunciations of this cynicism constantly from journalists, advertising executives, futurists, management theorists, stock market gurus. The correct intellectual posture, they admonish, is the simple faith of childhood. Indeed, children of the most exaggerated guilelessness turn up everywhere in the corporate speech of the 1990s, hailing the glory of the internet, announcing corporate mergers, staring awestruck at new computers, clarifying the bounds of history, explaining the fantastic surge of the Dow, and raising their winsome voices to proclaim the unanswerable new management logic that showed - as all previous management logics had also shown - just why it was that labour must submit to capital.
The masters of the new economy may fancy themselves an exalted race of divinities, but they counsel the rest of us to become as little children before the market.

An excerpt from Dr. Garza's book, Living with Alzheimer's, Dorrance Publishing Co. Inc., 2010
September 25, 2008
10:30 a.m.
Today was a bad morning for Dolores. She was very irritable and
feisty. Although she recognized me, she couldn't say Gonzalo Garza. I
asked her several times, "What's my name? Who am I? What's your name?"
She would look dazed and keep staring but could not respond. When she
did respond, she would say, "Get the hell out of here." That's very
much out of character for Dolores....She never used curse words and was
always the perfect lady....
Dolores was a very devoted wife, a loving mother and
grandmother. She was a school teacher for 32 years. She was a very
religious and caring person. She had the heart of gold, always pulling
for the underdog.
We were married for 55 years and we had five children and eleven
grandchildren. During this time, Dolores was a very healthy and active
person. She was very careful about her diet and was always very
energetic and active. In fact, her nickname was "lightening" because
she was so quick in doing things.
We both retired after serving as public school educators, helping
the children of Texas. It was a devastating experience for me, finding
my wife beginning to succumb to this horrendous disease "Alzheimer's."
Dolores had always been a very healthy person and to see her wearing a
diaper and in a wheelchair, just crushed me.
For one year, I faithfully chronicled Dolores' assisted living
experience. I painfully saw changes—physical, mental, and emotional—as
they built up to the flood that washed away her ability, her
personality and eventually, her life.
I went to see her every day, sometimes twice a day, driving 18 miles
and then later seven miles, to see her wither away before my very eyes. The
lessons I learned were painful, but in the long run, helped me to
understand and cope with a disease, "Alzheimer's", that I knew nothing
about. This experience prompted me to write a book, Living With
In my book, I offer information and recommendations for others who may
be living through the trials and tribulations of having someone
suffering from Alzheimer's. I walk through the different stages of this
horrible disease, trying to offer answers to many questions
About Dr. Garza:
Dr. Garza, who lost his wife in 2009, spent more than three decades traveling across the state of Texas serving as a school superintendent for more than a dozen school districts before he retired as superintendent of the Austin Independence School District.
He is the namesake for Gonzalo Garza Independence High School in Austin and holds a doctorate in curriculum and instruction from the University of Texas at Austin (1976) and an honorary doctor of humane letters from Houston-Tillotson College (1992). Dr. Garza also holds an honorary commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps.
In the following video, Dr. Garza discusses his life as a veteran of World War II, the Korean War, and Alzheimer's disease.

The Greater Mara is located in the southwest corner of Kenya, bordering Tanzania. A natural extension of the Serengeti plains, the ecosystem spans the Maasai Mara National Reserve and adjoining Community Conservancies, which include Mara Naboisho, Mara North, Olare Orok, Lemek, and Ol Chorro Conservancies. The area hosts a huge concentration of wildlife including cheetahs, leopards, lions, giraffes, and hippos, but the Greater Mara is most famous for the Great Migration, which happens annually and showcases the migration of over 2,000,000 wildebeest, 500,000 Thomson's gazelles, and 250,000 zebras across the ecosystem in search of fresh pastures. Unfortunately, this well-known ecosystem, rich in wildlife and cultural importance, is under increasing threat. Uncontrolled cattle grazing, human development and tourism development has led to a disruption to wildlife migration routes and declining wildlife numbers, as well as unsustainable livelihoods of local communities. With your help, it is possible to invest in the region and secure its future by supporting projects and initiatives making a needed difference. We invite you to donate here to help ensure the future of The Greater Mara.
Asilia Giving - Projects IN GREATER MARA
The Justice Ole Keiwua Wildlife Scholarship Fund was established to invest in developing local conservation leaders. Scholarships offered through the fund create an opportunity to recognize, encourage and promote leadership among future wildlife management professionals by supporting their wildlife and conservation-based education. We invite you to make a donation to help fund the further development of conservation leaders in Kenya.
The Koiyaki Guide School Scholarship Fund was established to provide local individuals training that they would otherwise not have access to and that will help them gain employment and income to support their families, promote responsible guiding and tourism, and become wildlife conservation advocates in Kenya. The school serves the dual purpose of equipping locals with the necessary skills and knowledge to find employment and improving the tourism industry by nurturing world-class guides that are leaders in conservation. We invite you to make a donation today to help sponsor promising local individuals and offer them an opportunity to gain an education in conservation.
The Mara Lion Project is intended as a long-term monitoring project where research is used to drive conservation initiatives. The main aim of the Mara Lion Project is to sustainably conserve lions throughout the Greater Mara ecosystem by determining their current status, identifying the major threats that could be causing declines in the current lion population and mitigating these threats wherever possible. The data collected by project researchers includes direct behavioral observation, fecal analysis, genetic analysis, disease screening, radio telemetry, historic data and interviews with herders. As it currently stands, the Kenya Wildlife Service estimates that there are fewer than 2,000 lions left in Kenya, with an annual decline of 100 lions. Increasing human population, coupled with diminishing natural prey and habitats has brought lions in to ever-closer proximity to people. Working with communities this project has "science driving conservation" at its heart.
Located in Kenya adjacent to the Masai Mara National Reserve, the Mara Naboisho Conservancy is a 50,000-acre private conservancy that aims to protect and conserve the unique biological resources and socio-cultural heritage found within the area. We invite you to help ensure the success of the conservancy by making a donation that will support research, projects and initiatives needed on the ground in the greater Mara. Your donation will go to the Asilia Charitable Corporation. The Asilia Charitable Corporation has applied to the U.S. IRS for status as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. That application is pending. When the IRS approves a timely filed exemption application, exempt status is recognized back to the date the organization was created. Thus, while an application is pending, the organization can treat itself as exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3). However, contributors to the organization do not have advance assurance of deductibility because the organization's exemption is pending. If the organization ultimately qualifies for exemption for the period in which the contribution is made, the contribution will be tax-deductible by the US tax paying donors. Alternatively, if the organization ultimately does not qualify for exemption, then the contribution will not be tax deductible.
The global cheetah population is rapidly dwindling and with less than 10,000 individuals left in the wild, cheetahs are vulnerable to extinction. Currently, the greater Mara ecosystem is one of only two remaining strongholds for the global cheetah population. The Mara Cheetah Project (MCP), led by Dr. Femke Broekhuis of Oxford University's Wildlife Research Unit (WildCRU), was established to study the current status of cheetahs in the Greater Mara ecosystem and to identify the major threats that could be causing declines within their population. We invite you to contribute to the Mara Cheetah Project and help secure the future of cheetahs and other critical wildlife by making a donation.
Located within the greater Mara area, the Ngousani Primary School serves some 530 students (300 boys and 230 girls). The 16 teachers are limited in the education they can offer because of insufficient infrastructure, limited classroom supplies (such as chairs, desks, textbooks), but the educators remain dedicated and passionate as they teach the local youth. Asilia collaborates with the One Life to offer concrete educational support to the Ngousani Primary School through a combination of in-kind support (books, teaching aids, desks) and individual support in the form of scholarships for students.
Located within the greater Mara area, the Aitong Primary School has 800 students (410 boys and 390 girls). With 22 fully employed teachers, 13 classrooms and limited infrastructure those teaching are faced with many challenges. Asilia collaborates with the One Life to offer concrete educational support to the Aitong Primary School through a combination of in-kind support (books, teaching aids, desks) and individual support in the form of scholarships for students.
Located within the greater Mara area, the Mbitin Primary School currently has 115 students (65 boys and 50 girls). With 6 fully employed teachers, teaching in the 2 available classrooms the hope is that the students are offered the best education possible. However, the lack of seating and desks, classroom supplies (such as textbooks) and proper facilities (including a laboratory, teachers offices, etc) offer a challenge. Asilia collaborates with the One Life to offer concrete educational support to the Mbitini Primary School through a combination of in-kind support (books, teaching aids, desks) and individual support in the form of scholarships for students.
Tarangire National Park spans 2,850 square kilometers (1,093 square miles) across northern Tanzania below the Rift Valley escarpment. Famous for its giant Baobab trees and vast herds of elephants, Tarangire National Park offers a variety of unspoiled landscapes, which are home to a variety of wildlife. The Tarangire River runs through the park and acts as a permanent water source that attracts game from surrounding areas and causes the park to feature one of the highest densities of wildlife per square kilometer during the dry season. Unfortunately, growing livestock populations together with unregulated agricultural expansion are increasingly encroaching into the Tarangire ecosystem. Unchecked, these pressures leave the future of this dry season wildlife refuge and the greater ecosystem of Tarangire unknown. With your help, it is possible to improve the prospects for the ecosystem and the communities living within it.
The Serengeti National Park spans an area of 12,950 sq km in Tanzania. It is located between the shores of Lake Victoria in the west, Lake Eyasi in the south and the Great Rift Valley to the east. The Serengeti is arguably the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world, making up one of the oldest, most complex ecosystems on earth. With more than 2 million Wildebeest and 250,000 zebra, the area is home to the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa and supports more than 30 species of large herbivores and some 500 species of birds. Unfortunately, increasing pressures threaten this iconic ecosystem and the local communities do not benefit sufficiently from it, often living in great poverty despite the substantial numbers of tourists visiting the Serengeti. With your help, we can offer needed support that will enable improved governance of the area and increased benefits for the neighbouring local communities. With your help, we can offer needed support that will enable improved governance and increased viable opportunities for local communities that will secure the future of this invaluable area.
Rubondo Island is Africa's largest island national park. Located in the southwest corner of Lake Victoria in Tanzania, the islands spans 25,000-hectares. Widely recognized as a critical breeding ground for both migratory birds and fish species (including the iconic Nile perch), Rubondo Island was a forest reserve during German colonial times. In 1965 it became a game reserve and in 1977 gained its current formal protection as a national park . Relatively untouched, the island is primarily covered by pristine indigenous sub-tropical forest, which offers a variety of habitats that enable a range of wildlife to survive and thrive. Today, the island is home to roaming elephants, families of chimpanzees, spotted necked otters, genet cats, velvet monkeys, Nile crocodiles, giraffes, hippos, a variety of migratory birds and more. Unfortunately, pressures on the island are mounting, leaving the future of the ecosystem and wildlife that depend on it vulnerable. Poaching and deforestation by neighboring communities has risen, due to a lack of economic opportunities in the area, fragmented governance and limited awareness. Improving prospects and countering these trends is critical and demands immediate action through an integrated effort. We invite you to donate today to help ensure the future of Rubondo Island.
Located about 25 miles from the Tanzanian coast, Zanzibar is an archipelago that sits in the Indian Ocean. Spanning 60 miles long and 20 miles wide, Zanzibar is known for its sandy beaches and fringing coral reefs, but the island of Zanzibar also offers a window into a melting pot of cultures and influences with its rich and colorful history that dates back to the 1500s. Today, Zanzibar represents a great challenge to conservation with its high and rapidly growing human population, tourism development and fragile wildlife and marine environment. Various initiatives are much needed to ensure a more sustainable future for the island, its local people and nature. We invite you to make a donation to help support the ongoing work to ensure a positive future for this unique island.
Located in the middle of Tanzania, Ruaha National Park is the largest national park in Tanzania. The park covers 20,000 square kilometers and is part of a much more extensive ecosystem — the greater Rungwa-Kizigo- Muhesi ecosystem, which covers more than 45,000 square kilometers. Ruaha National Park has a high diversity of plants and animals including a large population of big cats, elephants, buffalos, antelopes and various endangered species, and is considered one of the biodiversity hotspots in the world. And yet the park is under-managed and under various threats. Your support will make a difference in creating better prospects for this important park and its neighboring communities. Your support will make a difference in creating better prospects for this important park and its neighbouring communities.
We take an area approach towards improving livelihoods and protecting nature in some of the most unique corners of Africa. The areas we support include 6 uniique geographic regions across East Africa — the Greater Mara, the Serengeti, Tarangire, Rubondo Island, Matemwe, and Ruaha. In each of these areas, we engage with local communities, authorities and partner organizations to support projects and initiatives that address some of the key long-term challenges, priorities and measures for a given area.
Asilia believes that tourism should make a lasting positive impact on both nature and people. Proviging area support to local communities and the environment is an integral part of Asilia's identity and vision. Asilia maintains multi-year relationships with local communities, provides concrete educational support to 16 primary schools and offers funding to carnivore conservation and research throughout East Africa. Collaborating with partners on the ground, Asilia's goal is to make a real difference.

The Grande Ville Website & its Marketing
What's the news? Well we have chosen the SEO vendor for our website: www.bayareaseoservices.net!
What is our marketing strategy and why are we talking about it right now? As you may know the Grandville Hotel website notified you last year that the hotel was undergoing a lot of upgrades and changes. Well unfortunately it looks like the hotel had to close down. So we have put up this website to help folks understand the status of the hotel.
To get the word out effectively we are going to do some basic SEO on this site, so that the information is not lost to posterity.
This article aims to provide a helpful overview of what good SEO for a hotel website actually means.
#1 Map Packs:
For a hotel being in the Google Map Pack is critical. Hotels are a commodity driven business and when looking for a hotel, people expect that you will be have a cut and dried listing in the area of your hotel. That's what the Google Map Packs are. They are the simple "business listings" that often appear about 1/3 of the way down the first page.
So how do you get in the Map Pack? Well the best thing you can do is build Citations (which is one reason we hired bayareaseoservices.net). Citations are simple directory listings in places like yellowpages.com, yelp, and other local business directories.
#2 Travel Websites:
Make sure you claim your tripadvisor.com listing. This is much more than a directory listing, as it is the #1 place for people place their reviews and look for hotel bookings with their travel points. Make sure you are listed and have good pictures, update any feature you can within your account. Do this for all the Trip Advisor competitors as well. Pro Tip: Geo Tag your photos!
#3 The Site Basics:
Make sure your site is up to par (or above it) on all the basics:
Content: Do you inform your users of the highlight of the hotel, do you include a story about its history? Do you let them know how to book a room and how to book a banquet hall? Do you have pictures of the rooms, and links to the travel amenities (airport, taxi, shopping etc…) that travelers will need? Think this through, its important to have on your site.
Site Speed: Site speed is important for any site, but if you have wonderful photos of your hotel (and you should) you'll want to make sure your site loads quickly.
#4 Titles & Descriptions:
Do the H1 Tags, Page titles, and meta descriptions give relevant information for your content? The Google wants users to see very quickly what your site is about before they even send them to it. So its important that your site does these little things right so Google can correctly categorize your site.
#5 Backlinks:
If you're website is all alone in a desert by itself, it'll never get noticed by the search engines. The key to high rankings is links from other sites, links that are well established and recognized as authoritative will pass "link-juice" to your website. So it is to your advantage to create content that will provide value to readers so they will link back to your site.
These are by no means "all" the SEO factors that our vendor is applying to our website, but we think this is a good overview of some of the most important low hanging fruit to get us started. We look forward to your continued interest in our website, and hope to provide you ongoing information about the Grande Ville Hotel!Read More

Police Arrest Two in Hougom Murder
La Crosse police say two men will be charged for the murder of Sara Hougom at her southside apartment back in March. They say Kong Vue and Pao Choua Vue--La Crosse men and members of a gang--have been arrested for both the murder of Hougom and for a drive-by shooting on the northside just minutes before the March 26th killing. Police say Pao Choua Vue was being held in the La Crosse jail for something else. They just located Kong Vue yesterday in Milwaukee. They say Kong Vue admitted to both the drive-by shooting on Island street and the shooting of Sara Hougom. Apparently, the killing of Hougom was a random act. Her door was open and the two men were simply looking for a purse to steal.

It lies south of Wasilla, Big Lake, and Meadow Lakes, off of Knik-Goose Bay Road and Fairview Loop Road. Community Map Available No Latitude 61.5408 Longitude -149.5937 Climate Knik-Fairview falls within the transitional climate zone, characterized by a semi-arid atmosphere, long, cold winters, and mild summers. History and Culture History Knik is a Dena'ina (Tanaina) Athabascan Indian name meaning "fire," which originally applied to several villages at the head of Cook Inlet. A Russian Orthodox mission was in Knik as early as 1835. The primary village was listed as "Kinik" in the 1880 U.S. Census. During the 1880s, George Palmer's store thrived off of the local fur trade. Gold found in Interior Alaska in 1908 caused prospectors and suppliers to disembark at Knik. Construction of the Iditarod Trail brought mail from Knik to Nome and shipments of gold by dog team to meet the boat at Knik. At its peak between 1913 and 1915, the town was home to 500 people during the summer and 1,000 during the winter. Knik had four docks, two general stores, two hotels, one saloon, one drug store, two physicians, one barber shop, and a grade school. It is said that more Dena'ina lived in Knik than did white settlers and miners. When the Alaska Railroad bypassed Knik in 1915, residents relocated to Anchorage and Wasilla. Camp 13 of the Matanuska Colony, with 6 farms, was established along Fairview Road in 1935. Land was also homesteaded by veterans after World War II and the Korean War. Most of the historic docks and commercial district were destroyed in the 1960s when the Knik-Goose Bay Road was constructed. Low housing costs, the semi-rural lifestyle, and a tolerable commute to Anchorage have all supported growth in the Mat-Su Valley. Culture This community is relatively large and its poulation is diverse. Knik is a check-point for the Iditarod Sled Dog Race and is called the 'Dog Mushing Center of the World.' High-school students are bused to Wasilla. Knik has long been home to Tanaina Athabascans. Federally Recognized Tribe No Name of Federally Recognized Tribe See the community of Knik.
