I attended the inaugural Governor's Council on Climate Change (GC3) meeting led by Commissioner, CT Department of Energy, Robert Klee, and was deeply impressed by the depth of commitment and intention of the Council.
During introductions, personal anecdotes illustrated why the work "addressing climate change – the most important issue of our time" was essential for this and future generations, and a strong commitment to the mission of the Council echoed around the room. Governor Malloy addressed the Council emphasizing the importance of taking bold, swift action and to making the most of one's time spent in government office. Collaboration and cross sector partnerships were iterated as key opportunities for developing and implementing solutions.
And while the "what" (carbon reductions); the "why" (healthy human existence on Earth) was clearly expressed; the how was not. Not unlike any multi-stakeholder group seeking to create a solutions-based plan to combat a complex problem, the how is always where the rubber meets the road.
A complex issue such as climate change – and the direct and indirect social and economic impacts of achieving meaningful carbon reductions – has deep roots in a broken system and requires clear and shared definitions before diving into the components of mapping a plan. An example was the continued reference to "clean energy" by the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission as nuclear and gas rather than wind, hydro and solar which are supported by agencies such as NASA and the international science community, as well as the type of clean energy projects funded by GC3 member Connecticut Green Bank.
The "who" beyond government agencies and NGOs was also vague as a continued reference to business and industry as a key stakeholder, surfaced an absence of representation. One of the goals of the newly founded Connecticut Sustainable Business Council is to create a platform for businesses within the state to engage in processes such as these, and to be able to contribute innovative, triple bottom line solutions being developed by many companies today. We stand by ready to assist.
Even with all of the layers of complexities and dynamics to navigate, I have faith in GC3 to create clear shared definitions, include the sustainable business sector, establish realistic interim steps, and to consider implementation strategies when developing the framework of a plan.
Must watch - fully scientific based solution for transition to 100 percent clean energy!

We asked Ethan Allen what it means to understand the value of embedding sustainability principles and practices into company DNA; including finding ways to eliminate toxic chemicals from their products.
Answers provided by Farooq Kathwari, Chairman, President & CEO of Ethan Allen.
How does Ethan Allen view sustainability from a business standpoint?
Ethan Allen started with its first plant in the Green Mountains of Vermont in 1932, and sustainability has been an integral part of our culture as a company and our DNA as a brand ever since. We like to say that green isn't a buzzword here, it's a business model. We have always been always been an industry leader on environmental issues, from establishing our own internal standards of excellence on recycling and energy consumption to partnering with the American Home Furnishings Alliance on all of its important sustainability initiatives. Wherever we do business in the world today, we are deeply dedicated to the responsible management of our planet's precious natural resources.
What led to the decision to stop using fire retardants in your products?
The effectiveness of flame retardants has been called into question, so with the revision of upholstery flammability standards, we took the opportunity to take a leadership position in the industry, and now Ethan Allen can offer upholstery fabrics, leathers and resilient filling materials that are free of flame retardants yet still meet or surpass the most stringent U.S. flammability requirements for residential upholstered furniture. We are a client-focused company, and the safety and peace of mind of our clients always come first.
How do you anticipate this action benefiting your business?
We have always prided ourselves on taking the long view. Not just on what's best for short-term profits, but what's best for the people we serve and the planet we share. The decisions we make today will have lasting impact on tomorrow, and we never forget that. From a business perspective, it's our hope that we connect with people who share those values.
What have been some of the operational difficulties or other barriers associated with this action and how has your company overcome them?
I go back to the culture of this company and the DNA of this brand. In other organizations, maybe these changes would've been met with resistance or grudging acceptance. But here at Ethan Allen, the challenges are always met with raised hands and the answers are always, "Yes" and "How I can be part of this?"
What is the AHFA Eco3Home certification and what does Ethan Allen hope to accomplish by participating?
This is another area in which we are partnering with AHFA on environmental responsibility issues. Basically, the initiative encourages the use of tags on a product to identify its carbon footprint. It's a great idea. We are working closely with our AHFA partners to bring it to life. In the meantime, visit the Eco3Home section on the AHFA website. And you can always find our environmental initiatives detailed at http://www.ethanallen.com/en_US/sustainable-operations.html.
The latest research on toxic chemicals in children's car seats was released last week by the non profit Ecology Center, www.healthystuff.org.
Hold on to your hats . . . Nearly three-quarters (73%) of seats tested contained hazardous halogenated flame retardants and over half contained non-halogenated organophosphate flame retardants, some of which are hazardous as well. The study finds the hazardous flame retardant chemicals and alternatives used by companies are poorly regulated, putting consumers at risk, and questions the fire safety benefit of using these chemicals. "This is one more example of a consumer product containing extremely toxic chemicals that expose children. It is a huge concern," stated Anne Hulick, RN, MS, JD, Coordinator of the Coalition for a Safe and Healthy Connecticut.
Best 2014-15 Car Seats:
Worst 2014-15 Car Seats:
Other brands with products tested include: Chicco, Cybex, Dorel Juvenile Group (Eddie Bauer, Safety First), Evenflo, Harmony Juvenile, Orbit Baby, Peg Perego.
HealthyStuff.org is now asking the one of the largest manufacturers of car seats, Graco, to take leadership to disclose and phase out hazardous chemical flame retardant additives. Consumers are encouraged to sign our petition to Graco at HealthyStuff.org.
Since 1996, researchers at the Ecology Center have tested over 17,000 consumer products, including over 370 children's car seats, for chemical hazards. Research is conducted both through the Ecology Center's HealthyStuff.org in-house lab and collaborating laboratories.
About us: The Coalition for a Safe and Healthy CT includes 60 diverse organizations and thousands of individuals working together to reduce toxic chemical exposures in our daily lives.
The Ecology Center is a Michigan-based, nonprofit environmental organization working at the local, regional and national levels for a safe and healthy environment where people live, work, and play. Our HealthyStuff.org program is a national leader in testing products and disclosing information on hazardous chemicals in consumer products.
By a vote of 139 to 6, Connecticut's House of Representatives last night approved Senate Bill 502, An Act Concerning Bicycle Safety, setting the stage for making Connecticut dramatically more bike-friendly. The State Senate approved the bill unanimously on May 7. The next step is for Governor Malloy to sign the bill into law.
Bike Walk Connecticut commends the bipartisan leadership that led to passage of SB 502. The bill's legislative champions include State Senator Beth Bye (West Hartford) and State Representatives Roland Lemar (New Haven) and Cristin McCarthy Vahey (Fairfield), along with 29 other legislators.
Senate Bill 502 remedies Connecticut's outdated laws that conflict with best practices for modern, safe bikeway design and active transportation. The bill lets state and municipal transportation professionals design the kinds of bikeways, including two-way bike lanes, buffered bike lanes and cycle tracks, that are used in the most dynamic, prosperous cities in the country and the world.
The bill also improves state laws on bicyclists riding "as far right as practicable" and passing slower moving cyclists and other road users. Current laws are outdated and ambiguous, leading to misunderstandings and highly variable enforcement. The bill includes model language recommended by the League of American Bicyclists and the Uniform Vehicle Code.
Bike lanes and greenways aren't just good for our health. Since transportation is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gases in Connecticut, active transportation—biking and walking—must be a key piece of our climate action plan. Bikeways are also an extremely cost-efficient way to manage traffic congestion. Bike lanes, sidewalks and greenways cost a fraction of what it costs to build and maintain roads. People tend to bike and walk more when they have the bike lanes, greenways and sidewalks.
"Being bike-friendly isn't just a 'nice to have' thing anymore," observes Kelly Kennedy, Executive Director of Bike Walk Connecticut. "Being bike-friendly is now essential to competitiveness. In fact, not being bike-friendly is a competitive disadvantage. Connecticut's car-dependent lifestyle is not the lifestyle that millennials or the creative class have in mind. A well-designed active transportation network will help bring millennials and the creative class to Connecticut and keep them here, strengthening our economy."
Audubon Greenwich will host the second annual Sustainable Food & Farm Expo on Sunday, May 31, from 10 am until 5 pm. This year's Expo will showcase high quality food producers, retailers, a celebrity chef, and farmers who will teach guests how to prepare and enjoy a wide variety of local and sustainably grown foods, plus grow some of their own.
The public is invited to enjoy twenty food exhibitors and vendors plus talks, demonstrations, and tastings with a wide range of experts every thirty minutes. Fleisher's Craft Butchery and Grass Rxoots will cater lunch, snacks, and beverages suitable for vegans, vegetarians, omnivores, locavores, and those with food allergies or adhering to an organic diet.
The Sustainable Food & Farm Expo is a production of Audubon Greenwich, the Fairfield Green Food Guide, and Strawberry and Sage aimed at educating the public about our rich and diverse sustainable food community. "Audubon is proud to host this exciting, family-friendly event. Organic farming practices, composting, and more wholesome approaches to eating will greatly reduce our burden on Earth's natural resources while enhancing our habitats, soils, and communities" says Jeff Cordulack, Audubon Greenwich's Events and Communications Manager.
Chef Silvia Baldini of Strawberry and Sage will share her passion for cooking in three different culinary demonstrations and tastings where locally sourced ingredients take center stage. "When you work with real food, it's easy to be in the kitchen" says Baldini, Fairfield County's first female Chopped Champion. "In fact, I believe that once you learn to cook with basic local ingredients, you'll be able to improvise seasonally to prepare beautiful and tasty dishes to share with loved ones."
Educational tastings were so popular last year that more were added to the May 31 event including organic, micro-lot, Guatemalan coffee with Shearwater Organic Coffee Roasters; five local honeys with the American Honey Tasting Society, single varietal extra virgin olive oils with Olivette, and artisan cheeses with Greenwich Cheese Company. "We have curated a day chock full of special events so anyone with an appetite for new resources, fresh ideas, and a gastronomic adventure will leave feeling sated" says Analiese Paik, Founder of the Fairfield Green Food Guide. Guests are advised to pre-register for paid tastings online at brownpaperticket.com, event 1568464, since capacity is limited to fifty people per 30- minute event.
Fleisher's Craft Butchery, Fairfield County's only whole animal butcher specializing in locally sourced, pastured-raised meats, will be doing a free butchery demonstration and talk at 12:30 pm. "The local food community in Connecticut is getting bigger, better and more focused on sustainability. We are proud of our leadership role in providing consumers with meat that's not just better tasting, but better for our health, our farmers and the land we share" says Ryan Fibiger, CEO of Fleisher's Craft Butchery.
No sustainable food event would be complete without a discussion about the loss of biodiversity in our agricultural system and efforts to slow and reverse it. "Slow Food's Ark of Taste is a quest to restore the rich diversity and heritage of our food" says Mimi Edelman, farmer and owner of I&Me Farm and Chair of the Northeast/New England Slow Food Ark of Taste Committee. "I'll be inviting Expo guests to participate in Slow Food's efforts to preserve food culture and traditions of the Northeast/New England region that include livestock, poultry, fruits, grains, vegetables, added value products, herbs and wild edibles."
Event Highlights:
The following businesses and organizations will be participating at the Sustainable Food & Farm Expo: Audubon Greenwich, Fairfield Green Food Guide, Strawberry and Sage, Slow Food Metro North, Slow Food USA, Fleisher's Craft Butchery, Greenwich Cheese Company, Shearwater Organic Coffee Roasters, the American Honey Tasting Society, Olivette, Suburban Homesteading, Growing with Nature, Farmer Doug DeCandia, Pound Ridge Organics, The CT Farm Table Cookbook, Grass Rxoots, Paul's Custom Pet Food, Greenwich Community Gardens, and Natural Awakenings.
The Sustainable Food & Farm Expo is open to the public from 10 am until 5 pm on Sunday, May 31, 2015.

Give the Indiana Pacers credit. They have a survival instinct, after all.
Granted, one game above .500 isn't what we — or they — envisioned heading into the season. But in light of circumstances, it's a whole lot better than where they seemed to be going.
Which was down the drain. In a hurry.
A season filled with promise started as a colossal disappointment. First came the announcement Danny Granger would not be ready to play. Then came the jolt the Pacers weren't ready to play without him.
Looking lost and confused, the Pacers started 4-7. During a particularly sorry stretch in early November, they lost five of six games and, along with them, much of the fan capital they banked during last year's playoff run.
In a flash, the anticipation of bigger and better things was gone. A team that returned every starter and, perhaps more importantly, added critical pieces to the bench had taken backward steps.
True, sailing conditions weren't going to be idyllic without Granger. But no one forecast an ongoing gale that would render the otherwise well-equipped Pacers helpless.
Yet that's how they've played.
Until now.
Though too early to declare the worst is over, the Pacers are showing signs of moving forward while their scoring leader recovers from a knee issue that is expected to sideline him for at least another two months.
Recent results provide the clearest evidence.
Winners of six of their past eight games, they are above .500 for the first time since being 2-1 on Nov. 3. They take a two-game winning streak into tonight's home game against Denver and are tied with Chicago for the Central Division lead — a tie they helped forge with Tuesday's 80-76 win at the United Center.
So, what's different today from a month ago? Apart from performance, nothing. The Pacers have the same personnel but are starting to get desired results, or at least, some of the desired results.
Roy Hibbert, the ink on his new $58 million contract barely dry, continues to underachieve in staggering fashion. The new and improved bench plays look like it only in spurts. And Paul George has a maddening propensity for mixing 30-point nights with regrettable clunkers.
But collectively, the Pacers are showing signs of overcoming the obstacles — thanks largely to the season-long consistency of David West and George Hill and George's incremental emergence as a guy who can reel in the slack for Granger.
Even the bench has been better of late. Take Wednesday's 99-92 win against Portland, for example.
Despite falling behind by double digits in the first half, the Pacers remained poised and let their leaders — West, Hill and George — lead the way. They also got the type of lift from their bench they anticipated when they acquired Gerald Green, Ian Mahinmi and D.J. Augustin in the offseason to complement Tyler Hansbrough.
George, who scored 34 points the previous night in Chicago, came back with 22. Hill had 18, and West had 16. Off the bench, Mahinmi had 12, and Hansbrough had 10. Green had eight points, two assists and two blocked shots, and Augustin contributed four assists and a steal.
Though none of the above was All-Star eye-popping, it was collectively efficient. And it paralleled recent efforts that have started to reverse the Pacers' fortunes.
How long can they keep it up, or whether they are truly turning a corner toward being competitive, remains to be seen. But signs are encouraging, and a winning record in early December beats the alternative.
Until recently, they were on a fast path to the alternative.

Gimme Shelter unites local talent to raise money for Haiti
There was more than just music on people's minds Saturday night at First Avenue, as they filled the club for Gimme Shelter: A Benefit for Haiti. Not only were there plenty of great local bands and intriguing artwork on display throughout the night, but all the proceeds from the evening went to support relief efforts in the earthquake ravaged island of Haiti. Normally, such tragic events would cast a somber pall over the proceedings, but the bands and the crowd chose to play it pretty loose, buoyed by the turnout and the knowledge that in our own small way we were making a difference, providing aid to a country filled with people in desperate need of assistance.
Zoo Animal

The mercurial music of Zoo Animal got things going early, and the three-piece made their debut performance on the First Avenue stage a strong one. Frontwoman Holly Newsom's breathy vocals really reminded me of Chan Marshall, and she intently lead the band through a brooding, atmospheric set that established an auspicious tone to the evening that the other performances only added to.
Peter Wolf Crier

The bucolic two-piece Peter Wolf Crier delivered a stirring, determined set that showcased not only the strength of the songs on their wonderful debut album, Inter-Be, but also made clear that frontman Peter Pisano can command any stage he steps onto. His impassioned, riveting songs rang clear in the venerable nightclub, and enraptured all who were there to witness the performance. The solid, spare drumming of Brian Moen gave the songs a core, but Pisano's earnest vocals gave them their heart during the duo's engaging, engrossing set.
Mike 2600

DJs Jimmy 2 Times and Mike 2600 held things down admirably between bands, spinning tunes that kept the crowd entertained and energized, while also providing a seamless transition from set to set. And by the time Mark Mallman came on stage, the audience was ready for anything.
The snazzy showman wasted no time getting the attention of the audience, kicking off his set with an energetic cover of LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends." His lively, uninhibited performance was quite a spectacle, but still had the tunes to match, with great versions of "You're Never Alone In New York" (sadly without Craig Finn's excellent cameo), "The Fool On The Hill," and a set closing cover of the Who's "Baba O'Riley" that more than made up for in sheer energy what it was lacking in accuracy.
Adam Hurlburt and Zach Coulter of Solid Gold
Photo by Jon Behm
Solid Gold closed out the night with a strong set that focused more on their own material than their covers-heavy set on the same stage the week prior at the Current's 5th Birthday. The songs from Bodies Of Water have really been road tested by now, and have a portentous quality to them that was lacking a bit on the record. Older songs like "Calm Down," "Neon Rose," and "Who You Gonna Run To?" had an added intensity that blended quite well with their newer songs, including a stellar version of "One In A Million." The group also brought Mark Mallman back out to help sing on "Danger Zone," who added some zeal to an already spirited cover. The band finished their set with a rousing "Get Over It" that proved to be a stellar finish to a meaningful, uplifting evening.
Everyone's heart was clearly in the right place on Saturday, as we helped raise a great deal of money for the anguished people of Haiti. A good collection of bands and a great cause proved to be enough to get people to fill First Avenue, and even though more work still needs to be done, it was nice to know that we were doing what we could to help people in need.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Adrian Gonzalez homered and David Ortiz, Darnell McDonald and Dustin Pedroia drove in runs to back starter Clay Buchholz and lead the Boston Red Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night.
The win was the 11th in 12 games for the AL East leaders, who concluded a 10-day, nine-game trip with an 8-1 record — Boston's best mark on a trip of at least nine games since 1977.
The Red Sox retained a 112-game lead over the New York Yankees in the division and dropped the third-place Rays 512 off the pace by rebounding from losing the opener of the three-game series to win the final two.
Buchholz (6-3) allowed one run and two hits in five innings before leaving because of lower back tightness.

Yama De Amor 1, 2, 3 & 4 Group
Joelisa is excited to be taking her 11th loan with Esperanza, after having successfully repaid her previous loan and grown her business. She has had her business for over six years, starting with her first Esperanza loan.
Joelisa plans to use this loan to invest in her business by buying clothing and underwear. She will use the profits to invest in her business and to buy a refrigerator and food and clothes for her family. She also wants to save and buy her house in the not to distant future.
This associate began with Esperanza because the program motivates people to invest in business and work hard to become successful. Esperanza came to her impoverished village and she understood that this could be her answer to achieve a better life.
Her story is representative of her group and of Esperanza's Haitian and Dominican clients generally, many of whom recently emigrated to the Dominican Republic from Haiti. Her group is located in Samana, a lush rugged peninsula with a nascent tourism industry. This area, like nearly all impoverished areas of the Dominican Republic suffers from unreliable electricity and running water (none of which is potable).
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Histories of Buenos Aires
Pablo G. Wright
This chapter focuses on the experience of Toba migrants in Buenos Aires.1 Urban migrations within the Chaco region began in the 1950s when aborigines moved near towns,2 shaping the so-called Toba barrios (Toba neighborhoods) in their peripheries.3 Later, the circuit also widened to include other major cities outside the region.
While the Chaco was traditionally a rich and somehow "closed" ethnographic area, since the late 1950s it seems to have "expanded" its confines to include distant places, such as Rosario ( Santa Fe Province) and Buenos Aires.4 Indeed, many qom (Toba) migrated from their homeland, principally because of lack of work, transforming radically the ethnographic profile of the new places.5 It was as if the Chaco established outlying spots of culture that implied a challenge for an anthropology that always conducted research in the far Chaco region. The new context raised questions about this notion. For example, could the qom remain themselves if they were away from their territory? Would they be able to maintain their identity surrounded by whites? What could be expected of this sociocultural encounter in an urban context? Would they maintain links with their homeland?
To partially answer and critique these questions,6 this chapter explores the dimensions of life in Buenos Aires experienced by Valentín Moreno, a qoml'ek (Toba male) who moved there from Las Palmas ( Chaco) in 1954. He is sixty- seven years old. His wife María died in 1993, leaving him with five children. The histories of Valentín's life in Buenos Aires (see map 10) are part of a general background he shared with me during multiple conversations undertaken since 1980. I met him during a seminar in linguistics at the University of Buenos Aires. Since then, we have developed a true friendship and mutual respect that have far exceeded the scientific project of learning Toba language and culture.

Into the Maw
What will you do when Andy Warhol's skinheaded stepchild taps you on the shoulder and tells you that your 15 seconds of fame are nigh? Will you be strong? Or will you do what I did recently?
Will you get a call from a VH1 producer who asks you to appear on camera for a new show that they're launching, and cave? Or will you tell him thanks but no thanks, that I'm better than that and VH1 never plays any of the music I like, so I reject your offer of quasi-media celebrity and go find some other sucker hungry for the limelight, someone chomping at the bit to be an Expert with Opinions, because I get plenty at home, thanks, and besides I'm too busy reading Proust?
Of course you won't. That's not what we do in America. We are nothing until the cathode ray says we are something, so when our chance to have millions watch as we sit in a hot tub with a naked stranger as our girlfriends comment from the confessional on how the date is going or watch as five queer guys trim our nose hair and throw out our porn and redecorate our bathroom or watch as we impart our vast knowledge of Prince's "1999" for something called VH1's Behind the Song, we say Yes dear, where and what time?
I arrived at the Millennium Hotel in downtown Minneapolis a couple of Tuesday mornings ago at promptly 9:30. I parked my car in the underground garage and loitered for a few minutes in the lobby, where three hungover businessmen and a music industry type with a laminate around his neck blankly watched CNN. I took the elevator up to the ninth floor and found room 901. I was greeted by Tyler, my interviewer for the morning, who introduced me to the sound and camera guys, Ed and Ted.
The suite was nondescript, save for the shuttered windows and the living room, which had been turned into a film studio with lights, boom mike, and a backdrop of colored sheets. There was an empty beer bottle and a half-empty liter of lime Gatorade in the bedroom, where Tyler, who flew in from Denver, had spent the night. We chatted for a few minutes. Tyler gave me a bottle of spring water. I looked around at the room, this place where countless men and women had sullied the sheets and themselves; now it was my turn.
I sat down in the chair, knowing full well that it wasn't just any chair. It was the same chair that has been sat in by any number of the nameless, gigless, bottom-of-the-barrel entertainment journalists who march ceaselessly across our flat-screen moonscape these days. The chair where the unfunny desperately attempt to be funny, the uninteresting try to make the banal seem captivating, the chair from which editors of magazines like Buy More Hot Shit make their marks and further their careers. The chair, it must be said, that the dweeb sits in, the culture vulture who interprets and brings context and socio-political-something-or-other to the segment, while everybody else itches their remote-control trigger finger, waiting to hear some music.
"Ready?" said Tyler. I thought about bolting. Instead, I crossed my legs and said what Gary Gilmore said just before the firing squad opened up: Let's do it. Tyler asked me questions about Prince and the song. I relaxed. It was going to be okay. I like talking about Prince. I like "1999." I like talking about Minneapolis music history. I told Tyler everything I knew. It was painless.
We both knew the drill. They wanted sound bites. I thought about Noam Chomsky, who doesn't do these sorts of things--no Nightline, no drive-by interviews--because his subject matter is too involved and his theories don't lend themselves to quick cuts and voiceovers. I tried to think about all the things I'd rather be talking to the world about, but could only come up with "Viacom: Behind the Evil." I thought about all the songs I'd rather get behind for "VH1's Behind the Song," and felt, as is so often the case, like a program guide who can't get with the program.
I gave Tyler three easily digested nuggets that we both smiled at, sickly, the moment they came out of my mouth. Now we were getting somewhere. Now Tyler and Ed and Ted and I were doing our jobs. Somewhere in VH1-land a marketing specialist awaited our work, but there would be no epiphanies, no discoveries, no "you gotta get in here and see this footage!" because they didn't really care and I didn't really care and exactly no one really cares to hear the story "behind" this or any other song, even though that's what we've come to expect from water cooler culture: nostalgia as news, rehash as revelation. So right there in room 901, with the air conditioning keeping the muggy Minnesota morning at bay, Tyler and Ed and Ted and I waltzed the waltz that thousands before us had danced, and went down into the maw of unhistory together.
I had my Talking Points. I held forth on the theory that "1999" was inspired by the Orson Welles documentary on Nostradamus and his doomsday predictions. I opined that Prince's band at the time, the Revolution, was "ferocious" and among the great live bands of my generation. I stayed On Message. I talked about the signs of the times in 1982 and race and harmony and Minneapolis and the political climate in which "1999" was hatched. Then I made a mistake.
Near the end of the interview, with me running out of interest and gas, Tyler asked about the "1999" video. I wasn't prepared for this. I stammered. I tried to remember the video. Sequins and purple satin registered in the distance. I heard myself telling Tyler that I thought the video was "cheesy," what with "Lisa and Jill Jones snuggling by the keyboards and all." I think I made a face. I may have rolled my eyes. I caught myself. Suddenly, an all too clear future image came to me: a quick-cut of my face plastered with the VH1 logo, and the sound of my voice having an opinion about something I truly don't have an opinion about, which is as cheesy as it gets if you ask me.
Tyler asked a few more questions, I made some more accommodating noises, and then our dance was done. It had taken less than an hour. I said goodbye to Ed and Ted and thanked Tyler for the water and took the elevator to the parking garage. The guy in the booth took my five dollars without looking at me. Which is his loss, for he did not recognize that the man in the muffler-hurting Toyota before him was a recipient of the ultimate postmodern validation: I was--and, through the miracle of ad nauseam reruns, would remain--a tick fastened to the ass of celebrity.
My "Behind the Song" moment airs sometime this year. Or, with any luck, Nostradamus will come through and we'll all be blown up by then.

Skip to comments.The School Crotch Inspector - Fighting the Advil menace, one strip search at a time
Posted on 04/02/2008 3:39:20 PM PDT by neverdem
There are two kinds of people in the world: the kind who think it's perfectly reasonable to strip-search a 13-year-old girl suspected of bringing ibuprofen to school, and the kind who think those people should be kept as far away from children as possible. The first group includes officials at Safford Middle School in Safford, Arizona, who in 2003 forced eighth-grader Savana Redding to prove she was not concealing Advil in her crotch or cleavage.
It also includes two judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, who last fall ruled that the strip search did not violate Savana's Fourth Amendment rights. The full court, which recently heard oral arguments in the case, now has an opportunity to overturn that decision and vote against a legal environment in which schoolchildren are conditioned to believe government agents have the authority to subject people to invasive, humiliating searches on the slightest pretext.
Safford Middle School has a "zero tolerance" policy that prohibits possession of all drugs, including not just alcohol and illegal intoxicants but prescription medications and over-the-counter remedies, "except those for which permission to use in school has been granted." In October 2003, acting on a tip, Vice Principal Kerry Wilson found a few 400-milligram ibuprofen pills (each equivalent to two over-the-counter tablets) and one nonprescription naproxen tablet in the pockets of a student named Marissa, who claimed Savana was her source.
Savana, an honors student with no history of disciplinary trouble or drug problems, said she didn't know anything about the pills and agreed to a search of her backpack, which turned up nothing incriminating. Wilson nevertheless instructed a female secretary to strip-search Savana under the school nurse's supervision, without even bothering to contact the girl's mother.
The secretary had Savana take off all her clothing except her underwear. Then she told her to "pull her bra out and to the side and shake it, exposing her breasts," and "pull her underwear out at the crotch and shake it, exposing her pelvic area." Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between drug warriors and child molesters.
"I was embarrassed and scared," Savana said in an affidavit, "but felt I would be in more trouble if I did not do what they asked. I held my head down so they could not see I was about to cry." She called it "the most humiliating experience I have ever had." Later, she recalled, the principal, Robert Beeman, said "he did not think the strip search was a big deal because they did not find anything."
The U.S. Supreme Court has held that a public school official's search of a student is constitutional if it is "justified at its inception" and "reasonably related in scope to the circumstances which justified the interference in the first place." This search was neither.
When Wilson ordered the search, the only evidence that Savana had violated school policy was the uncorroborated accusation from Marissa, who was in trouble herself and eager to shift the blame. Even Marissa (who had pills in her pockets, not her underwear) did not claim that Savana currently possessed any pills, let alone that she had hidden them under her clothes.
Savana, who was closely supervised after Wilson approached her, did not have an opportunity to stash contraband. As the American Civil Liberties Union puts it, "There was no reason to suspect that a thirteen-year-old honor-roll student with a clean disciplinary record had adopted drug-smuggling practices associated with international narcotrafficking, or to suppose that other middle-school students would willingly consume ibuprofen that was stored in another student's crotch."
The invasiveness of the search also has to be weighed against the evil it was aimed at preventing. "Remember," the school district's lawyer recently told ABC News by way of justification, "this was prescription-strength ibuprofen." It's a good thing the school took swift action, before anyone got unauthorized relief from menstrual cramps.

I posted 611.
Take a few deep breaths.
Don't be a sore loser.
It's kitty bait. Sooner or later I am going to incite this moral deficient example of whithered manhood into springing on it. Anyone who thinks a strip search of a teenage girl for Advil is appropriate lacks the sense of discrimination, self-control and sense of self-preservation required to keep himself alive. It is merely a matter of time.
I don't believe you.
I meant 617, but clearly you didn't read it.
Even as a troll, you failed.
Next you'll be taken to task for spelling errors. The pettiness of a sociopathic statist is unlimited. Somewhere there is a cosmic chalkboard where he gets another 1/10,000th of a point. For what exactly no sane person could tell you.
Where you begged the meaning of "force".
You're too easy.
Lose what? You have yet to make an argument about anything. What is YOUR position. Not your position on my position, or your position on someone else's position. We want to know YOUR position.
As a start, can we agree with the definition of "strip," i.e.
1. To remove clothing or covering from. 2. To deprive of (clothing or covering)
If you agree with that definition then can you assert which of the following facts you disagree with:
I begged nothing. I cited the dictionary definition of force, which comports with the acts of the officials who forced her to strip so they could search her. The court did not state that she volunteered to remove her clothing, but rather an official of the school directed that she be searched and that she strip in aid of said search.
Nothing to see here, folks. Just the self-immolation of the last vestiges of a never-quite-developed manhood.
You are easily the most pathetic beggar of questions I've ever run across.
I know you have no use for facts, but:
"I was embarrassed and scared, but felt I would be in more trouble if I did not do what they asked," said Redding in a sworn affidavit following the incident.
That is what FORCE is man. What kind of an apostrophied expletive deleted dumb-expletive deleted am I / are we dealing with that does not even understand what force is, and right after I quoted the dictionary definition of force in post 617 too. Do you know what a ditionary is? Do you know what a definition is? Do you know what a word is?
We knew that fact too. The problem is that most of us know what the word "force" means. You would like to portray this as "voluntary" compliance, but there is nothing voluntary about this.
Wow so they terrorized the child too. What a wonderful adults. All for an ADVIL! I wonder what went through this poor child's mind....
They asked. All your unsupported lies just came crashing down.
Me, I would not split that hair, but apparently this shriveled up excuse of a moral bankrupt would.
You're setting the bar awfully high there. robertpaulson is gone, only his pup remains.
It must be nice to be able to invent all your facts as needed. No need to actually read or know anything...
Would you please step into this gas chamber -- merely a request. All your morally bankrupt hairsplitting just came crashing down.
Beg, beg, beg...
She's thinking she now has a healthy fear of petty bureaucrats.
It's sad that this lesson has to be learned in this formerly free, formerly great nation, but, alas, it is what it is.
I thought, by law, minors couldn't voluntarily do anything in a legal sense. Thus the legal distinction "minor." ???
They made the request at gunpoint? Your fantasies grow stranger by the post.
Who invented what? "terror" is defined as
1. Intense, overpowering fear. See synonyms at fear. 2. One that instills intense fear: a rabid dog that became the terror of the neighborhood. 3. The ability to instill intense fear: the terror of jackboots pounding down the street[this is actually in the original.]
You put it up didn't you? She was given to believe if she did not do as they said to do she would be in more trouble. So verbally they frightened this child. seems easy to see that to me.
In loco parentis. Read a book.
This young lady was clearly cornered, coerced and no doubt was threatened with even more punitive, government actions.
She should have made lots of noise here, do what ever she had to do, including throwing a chair through a window to escape these nut jobs. This would have really brought in the bright lights and put this issue on the map.
She doesn't say anyone told her that when she was asked. You don't get to invent your own facts.
Yes it is sad & much sadder to see is that there are people who actually think that it is ok for the school to make your child strip off her clothes for an advil! Mind you this wasn't dope but an advil. If they thought she was such a danger why weren't the police called in?
Sources not available on request.
Jackboots are now part of your fantasy scenario?
"Public schools or full of adult child predators, both male and female. This is well documented daily and weekly in this country. You haven't' heard?"
Interesting comment from somebody who bows at the altar of authoritarianism and refuses to demand that authorities respect the God-given and constitutional rights of those they abuse without any sense of decency and no just cause.
lmao off at you....You don't know what was said there either do you? Shaking my head & wondering if you are mojave aka rp...
An example: When you assume force, rather that prove it.
Source is available. Her direct testimony and the basis for her suit in the first place.
Remember, this case has not been tried. It was dismissed in summary dispostion, on the grounds that if true, the Court could not grant relief, under the claim that her 4th ammendment rights were not violated. When/if it is reversed upon the en banc decision, it will go back to trial.
"I was embarrassed and scared, but felt I would be in more trouble if I did not do what they asked," said Redding in a sworn affidavit following the incident.
Quick, invent another fact.
No, I assumed the facts as related in the COA statement of facts. These facts comport with a normal dictionary definition of force, ergo, she was forced. You are not engaged in an argument of logic, but merely resorting to semantic quibbling.
Too bad hysteria isn't a substitute for facts.
Invent what? The child was scared. Seems plain & simple enough to see.
So is the Internet.
I can't help wonder out loud, if they have such strict zero tolerance drug and alcohol policies, are those put in charge of the kids, those that teach the kids and provide safety for the kids, are they *randomly* drug tested continuously to determine if the administrators and teachers are drug and alcohol users?
I'd bet they are not.
No one has invented a fact. You have invented an argument over the quibble, is it force when an authority ASKS you to do something that is beyond the pale or DIRECTS or TELLS you to do something that is beyond the pale.
Me, I if I were on the jury I would settle for the ASK and settle on this girl $1M from the personal property of each of these petty authoritarians for even asking.
You haven't shown that anyone terrorized or forced her when they "asked" for a search. Beg on though.
But has that to do with this story? You seem to be kicking up dust here in an effort to distract from this story.
The guy is a moral scoundrel.
You've done little else. Except for ad hominem remarks.
No ping, no surprise. Oh, and the only child molestation in the thread comes out of your own fantasies.

SHDA, NSO Cite Housing Statistics
A total of 76,384 building permits were issued last year, representing a projected number of 172,074 new, individual residential units comprising of single detached houses, duplexes, apartments/ row houses, and condominiums. Likewise, the average floor areas for each were pegged at 108 sqm for single detached homes, 60 sqm for duplex and quadruplex homes, 40 sqm for apartments/ row houses, and 30 sqm for condominiums.
These were just some of the data presented by Subdivision and Housing Developers Association (SHDA) President Paul Tanchi, in a joint press briefing with National Statistics Office (NSO) Administrator Carmelita Ericta. The collaboration resulted from the Memorandum of Agreement signed earlier this year, which enables both parties to share studies and statistical data relevant to the housing sector.
SHDA arrived at the figures after studying the correlation between their own industry statistics and that of NSO's. SHDA aims to derive more previously unavailable data for future releases, which will help developers make strategic plans. …

I have a quick/simple UI question. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post it, it seemed like the best place but please let me know if I should post somewhere else instead.
The question is, when you launch a simulator window from schematic, generally you "load state" to get your previous state. However, in some situations you actually get design variables without loading state. My question is: is there any way for it get the model libraries to come up automatically with this window without having to either "set model libraries" or "load state"?
Thanks in advance

Muslim Converts in Germany: Angst-Ridden Germans Look for Answers -- And Find Them in the Koran
The number of Germans who have converted to Islam has increased fourfold within one year -- despite the negative perception of Islam among the general public.
A man praying in a Berlin mosque. The number of Muslim converts in Germany increased fourfold last year.
A soon-to-be-published study on Islamic life in Germany confirms the Cologne doctor's impression. The study sheds light on a phenomenon that may seem surprising given the image of Islam in Germany, where the religion is often associated with terrorism, forced marriages and honor killings: In Germany, some 4,000 people converted to Islam between July 2004 and June 2005. The study, which was financed by the Interior Ministry and carried out by the Soest-based Muslim institute Islam Archive Germany, reveals that the number of converts increased four-fold in comparison to the previous year.
The figure of 4,000 conversions means the usual explanations for why Germans convert are no longer sufficient. The annual number of converts remained constant -- at about 300 -- until three years ago. The converts were mainly women "who married a Muslim partner," Muhammad Salim Abdullah from the Islam Archive points out. Today, people are increasingly converting "of their own free will," he says, adding that the converts still include many women, but also plenty of university graduates -- middle-class citizens like Kai Lühr.
Baptized and raised as a Christian, Lühr studied at university and then opened a general medical practice with an additional specialization in naturopathic medicine. His income was good, he married Katrin, a professional dancer, and they moved into a loft apartment together. However, at some stage the couple realized something was missing. "When critically-ill people come into my practice after already having been sent from pillar to post, it makes you despair sometimes," Lühr says. He developed an interest in Christianity, Buddhism and the Dalai Lama. But he found no answers.
"People want to be different."
Lühr's conversion process seems typical. Many converts were originally practising Christians who began having doubts about their religion at some point, says Mohammed Herzog, a Berlin imam who used to be a Protestant minister until he converted to Islam in 1979. The number of German-speaking converts in his mosque has also risen noticeably, Herzog says. Some 10 years ago, the annual number of converts was about 50 -- now it is double that. "Only rarely do the converts include people who were complete atheists before," Herzog says.
Monika Wohlrab-Sahr, a sociologist of religion, has investigated converts in Germany and in the United States. She says the "overcoming of a personal crisis" is often a prime motive, frequently in combination with a search for the Other: "People want to be different," she says.
While fundamentalist Christianty also offers these possibilities, Islam allows a person to stand out from the crowd to a greater degree, in Wohlrab-Sahr's opinion. Moreover, Islam has become a perennial theme in the media thanks to today's frequent debates on Muslims. "Islam is more visible as a genuine alternative," Wohlrab-Sahr says.
It's hard to find a common denominator for what exactly makes Islam so attractive to people from a Christian background. Salim Abdullah speaks of "defiant reactions" in the face of the constant criticism brought against Islam, although he's also familiar with converts who appreciate the "clear rules for behavior" provided by the Koran. Lühr, who always carries a prayer mat in the trunk of his Alfa Romeo GT, laments the "decline in values" that Western society, in his view, has suffered: "In Islam, values still count for something," he says.
A Hamburg lawyer's office provides an intriguing example of what she means. Thirty-six-year-old Nils Bergner prays to Allah five times a day. The German convert works together with a Turkish friend Ali Özkan, also a Muslim. The two visit the mosque together, but it's only in the German's office that the prayer rug is regularly rolled out. "I just can't manage it," says Özkan. "The first prayer is at 6:00 a.m. -- much too early."
Recently, they were invited to dinner. The desert was tiramisu. Bergner hesitated because of the alcohol in the recipe. "I said, you can't be serious," Özkan recalls. "Go ahead and eat it, I said. It's just a flavoring." But Bergner left the tiramisu untouched.

This is a sweet vid! I love the blurr/shakey effect and also the "waking" -blinking- effect.
I was slightly confused about the purpose of the vid but my favorite part had to been when the guy released the main character and the flew at the thing's face.
this was great. i saw this first on the TGSNT website. i loved the song that plays in the background. would you be so kind as to tell me were you got the music from?
the music artists name is 'myheadisaballoon'. Just search him in the audio portal under artists and the song is of course 'Cold Tap'. Thanks for the good review I'm glad you liked it and you should check out my TGSNT finalist for this year!! It's called Sleepless Nights.

The novella is one of those literary forms that I have admired for a long time – a quicker read than a novel but a fuller experience than a short story. In the mainstream publishing world, it appears to be something of a neglected format (although, having said that, in a relatively recent visit to a well-known chain bookstore, I did see a few slim books out on display in the Fiction section which I suppose could be classed as novellas and, as described below, quite a few 'classics' were written as such), with the probable major publisher excuse that 'it doesn't sell very well', or 'there isn't much interest' as to why they're not more widespread, the same explanation for why short story anthologies and collections are but very rarely forthcoming from the big imprints.

After turning on my desktop one day, I found that my CPU usage was maxed out at 100%, with most of that going to hardware "Interrupts":
I tried to enable/disable all my devices one by one through the device manager, and found that I could get the CPU usage used by the Interrupts down to 50% by disabling all devices labelled "USB Host Controller" (except the ones for the mouse/keyboard). I found that I also got 10-20% more from disabling "High Definition Audio Controller".
Following the tutorial at: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/140263-how-to-get-the-cause-of-high-cpu-usage-by-dpc-interrupt/
Led me to similar conclusions (that is, that the culprit is mostly "USB Host Controller"):
I've tried updating my asus motherboard driver and my video card driver. This is on Windows 7 64 bit.
I've spent hours trying to figure this out and I'm running out of ideas short of formatting (which might still not fix it!).

Can you recommend a good humidifier that you're using in LO's room? I need something works very quite and with a warm mist?
Thank you!
I use this one in both kids' rooms:
When they're really clean, they make almost no noise at all. After a week or so (you're supposed to clean them weekly, but I don't), they make a quiet noise. I actually like the noise. It makes for some white noise in the room.
It's also affordable and I've never had a problem with them.
BTW, I tried a cool one, I think it was the Crane's one (a frog maybe?) and I hated it. It just made water everywhere and didn't seem to wet the air. I think if you use the warm ones properly - clean them, keep on low, and keep the door slightly open, they're fine.

We use a warm mist in DD's room and a cool mist in our room. I like the warm mist one waaaay better. The cool mist one just makes everything feel wet while the warm mist one makes the air moist. Both are pretty quiet.

text: The acting, cinematography, costumes etc were all great! A very good movie. I was obviously not there in WWII, but this movie gives the viewer an insight as to what it must have been like for the Japanese soldiers. If you watch this movie and have not seen Flags of Our Fathers, I would definitely recommend it. The two movies are the same scenes but from opposite sides.

Our 20000 Grand Mar. hesitates and sometimes dies after warming up when you accelerate. We have had new plugs, new gas filter, new fuel pump and replaced four sensors, including the throttle position sensor. I thought the OD was not working properly ,but after replacing the Throttle position sensor it is fine. It runs great until it warms up , but after about 10 min. it starts to hesitate and will die after acceleration from a stop.

toy drive
Broadway Showgirls Launches Toy Drive
On November 20th, in partnership with the San Francisco Fire Fighters Toy Program, Broadway Showgirls helped launch a month-long charitable event running from Thanksgiving through Christmas that gathered toys and money for families in need. Patrons earned entry by donating an unwrapped new toy instead of paying a cover charge. Over 11 clubs throughout San Francisco participated in the program by offering nightly benefit dances at prime business hours as well as providing toy donation receptacles for patrons and employees. The month-long promotion concluded with a check and toy presentation on Tuesday December 21st at San Francisco Fire Station #1, just in time for Christmas!
SFFF's Annual Toy Drive: Donate Toys & Get A Lap Dance For Charity
A bunch of gentlemen's clubs around town, like Larry Flynt's Hustler Club, Roaring 20's, the Condor, Centerfolds, Little Darlings and more are hosting the SF Fire Fighters' Toy Program to collect holiday goodies for kids.
On Saturday, November 20th, the toy drive kicks off its ongoing collections at these clubs through December 19th. Bring a new, wrapped toy or monetary donation and you'll receive free admission to the club of your choice. Dancers will also be giving lap dances for charity all night long.
