Jena Six on the Hill
This morning, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-TX, the Rev. Al Sharpton, and others spoke passionately in a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on the handling of the Jena Six case. Rep. Lee pointed her finger at Justice Department officials, and especially at Donald Washington, the U.S. attorney for Louisiana's western district, for not intervening... and Sharpton wondered if a standard is being set that hate crimes are OK if they're committed by minors. Are you still following the case?

Everyone is focused on the single incident of assault in which Black students assaulted white students (which one might add was in response to racial taunting about a previous assault by white students on a Black student), but no seems to want to mention that Black students were assaulted several times before that incident occurred. In one incident, Robert Bailey Jr., one of the "Jena 6" was beaten with beer bottles when he went to a mostly white party in town. The next day, Bailey ran into a young white man who was at the party. The man pulled a gun on Bailey, but he managed to wrestle it away. The young white man wasn't charged, but Bailey was charged with theft of a firearm. You really should stop reducing this case to, "nooses hung, tensions rose, student was beaten."
According to this AP release: "New York-based civil rights activist Al Sharpton was scheduled to appear before the committee, but flight problems delayed him."
A bit of a discrepancy there, Sarah.
Malik: "no seems to want to mention that..." including Bailey himself. Bailey said nothing about a beer bottle until months after the fact.
As for the convenience store, I notice you conveniently omitted the witnesses saying that Bailey and his friend attacked and robbed Windham before chasing him to his truck. Only then, did he pull out the shotgun.
Funny how spin works, eh?
Hi trvolk,
Thanks for your attention to the perceived discrepancy -- in fact, Sharpton did make it to the (delayed) hearing, and delivered his testimony on the Hill (after briefly maligning the airline industry for his late arrival). You can read a more recent AP story here. I'm listening to his testimony again now, and he opened with, "First let me apologize, I've been on the tarmac in New York for the last two hours, so it was the airlines not me that is responsible, but I realize this committee doesn't have oversight over the airlines, so I won't belabor the point."
Some points that you will never see in the mainstream media---
First, the reverse injustice; had six skin heads hunted down and beat a person of color senseless, would we even be having the Jena discussion?
And don't you think Al and Jesse, would be on the other side of the fence trying to convict them?
Two: I find it deplorable, (and more than a little hypocritical )that Jesse Jackson, who, last year assembled a lynch mob in Raleigh-Durham to have two white kids from Duke University sent up the creek for a hate crime they didn't commit, is now in Jena trying to free an African American kid, who actually did commit a hate crime.
Three: What exactly was wrong with white kids meeting under a tree, or for that matter, anywhere? Were they harassing others? Denying movement? Yelling racial epithets?
No. They were simply practicing their Constitutional right to free association/assembly and were ultimately denied their rights by those who were offended by so many of their color assembled in one place.
And if you want to talk about the changing landscape of American race relations, let's talk about how ???white??? has become the new 'N' word in this country. How, anything 'white' is deemed offensive, amoral and worthy of contempt. Whether it be the Winter Olympics, a GOP convention, or a tree in Jena.
Growing up in the north I have never really experienced racism and I am mixed raced. It just suprises me how much racism there still is in the world, especially in America. People shouldn't be judged by what their skin color is, they should be judged by what is in their hearts. In my opinion, a racist person must have a pretty ugly heart.
"I notice you conveniently omitted the witnesses saying that Bailey and his friend attacked and robbed Windham before chasing him to his truck."
That's Windham's allegation. He claims that three Black students approached him and one shouted "We got action!" before accosting him. The only facts that are clear are that Windham brandished a shotgun, and the students wrestled it away from him, and were subsequently charged with theft of a firearm.
Federal hate crime guidlines take age into consideration. As Washington pointed out, "If these acts had been committed by others who were not juveniles, this would have been a federal hate crime, and we would have moved forward." (Note the "would have been" phrase.) Washington has also pointed out in earlier interviews that the noose-hanging incident was non-violent and that, if committed by adults, the charge would have been a misdeamenor.
The Jena district attorney's office also considered age as a factor in charging the Jena Six. No charges are expected to be filed against the youngest member of the Jena Six. He gets a bye because of his age, the same as the three students who hung the nooses. Four of the Jena Six, unlike the three students who hung the nooses, were adults under Lousiana law at the time of the attack.
Mychal Bell, unlike the students who hung the nooses, has multiple convictions for battery that predate both the noose-hanging incident and the beating of the white student at Jena High School. His sentencing on the second count of battery and destruction of property was postponed when he became implicated in the beating of Justin Barker at Jena High School. Once his conviction as an adult in the Barker beating was overturned, his sentencing on the early conviction went forward. It has nothing to do with the Jena Six Beating. He will be retried for his alleged part in the beating of Barker in juvenile court.
Following the Jena High School beating incident, the Justice Department reopened its investigation and found no link between the noose-hanging incident and the assault on Justin Barker or other confrontations between black and white students at Jena High School. Donald Washington, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Louisiana, told CNN that "A lot of things happened between the noose hanging and the fight occurring, and we have arrived at the conclusion that the fight itself had no connection." He added that "We could not prove that, because the statements of the students themselves do not make any mention of nooses, of trees, of the 'N' word or any other word of racial hate." The CNN story ("U.S. Attorney: Nooses, Beating at Jen High Not Related") is
online at http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/09/19/jena.six.link/index.html
Why is no one connecting the lack of action by the Justice Department to the destruction of that institution by the current administration? It seems clear that their destruction of the Civil Rights section of the Justice Department has led to inaction in cases like Jena.
No one seems to comprehend that to blacks, the noose is a symbol of the lynching violence of the segregation era.
I am of the opinion that had federal authorities intervened in the case against the Jena 6, it would not have escalated into today's media monster.
If the task force created by the Department of Justice has settled on their idea of not bringing charges against juveniles for committing hate crimes then the Department is saying that it is okay to commit a hate crime as long as you are a juvenile.
The criminal justice system in America is biased having chosen to prosecute black students as adults but refused to bring charges against white students for committing hate crimes, citing that they were juveniles.

If you think a refrigerator with top-of-the-line features means sacrificing
style or space, the LG LFX25978ST is will make you reconsider. With nearly 25 cu. ft., this
33" wide refrigerator has the largest capacity in the market and features like
a tall water dispenser with an ice system that actually frees up shelf space. If you are looking for a nice, cold glass of water, or a handful of fresh ice cubes, you can get it all with a simple touch of a button. No matter the size of what you need, you will find enough room for the largest pitcher or gallon of milk.
With that, and much more, you get the peace-of-mind of a 10-year warranty. It's
a refrigerator with something for everyone.

We are very pleased with this refrigerator. We traditionally chose a side-by-side for our refrigerator design but decided to switch to the french-door style in hopes of making up for some annoyances the side-by-side offers. Our primary complaint with the side-by-side is that we would always have to move items around or pull some out to get to other items in the back. Since the french-door LG refrigerator has two doors at the top, access to your grocery items is much easier. The lighting (LED) is bright and doesn't provide the problematic shadow areas that some side-by-sides include. We also like the ice maker that is integral with the door for the LG french-door ... definately a space saver but still allows you to get both ice (crushed or cubed) and water. The count-down clock (in months) is also a nice touch so you can actually plan ahead and get a replacement water filter. Other models simply have a light that comes on or a light that provides you very little warning. This unit is also very quiet (an absolute necessity for a refrigerator). If you have seen complaints before about the noise of this refrigerator, check the model numbers. An older french-door style version did have an issue with their compressor, however, this issue does not exist in the LFX25975ST. Finally, you may still be wondering about the details that makes the LG a better choice. Here are two for consideration. First, check the seals in between the top two doors. These simply flex when you close the refrigerator to form a tight seal. Compare this to the door seal on other brands and you will notice that they include a plastic/metal bar that extends when the door is closed and retracts when the door is open. LG didn't use this mechanism in their door design since the "bar" type can be problematic. When the bar is extended, it can also limit your access to the refrigerator. The LG's design is trouble-free and easier to clean. Finally, LG even included a rubber strip at the bottom of the refrigerator to prevent lint, dust, and pet hair from getting under the refrigerator which potentially clogs the evaporator coils. The rubber strip doesn't eliminate all dust, but helps minimize the amount that gets trapped under your refrigerator. Ask yourself, "How much fun do I have when I have to vacuum out the coils in my refrigerator?" That is attention to detail. My only con, is that the temperature display reflects the temperature you want the refrigerator/freezer to be set to ... it does not reflect the actual temperatures. This would be a nice feature to see in future models but is the only con we can come up with.

We bought this refrigerator a few months back. I was set on a bottom freezer and I liked the eaze of having ice and water outside the door. However, the ice and water are somewhat hard to use without making a mess. The water dispenser is touchy and sits out so that it virtually impossible to not splatter. The inside of the refridge is hard to organize. There is very little door storage space as compared to a side-by side. Almost the entire left side is taken up with the ice and water dispenser. It is difficult to organize shelves so that you can get to items easily and only a few tall items can fit in. We are still struggling on where to stand up an open wine bottle.

Comments about LG 25 cu.ft White French Door Refrigerator:
I've had this refrigerator for a little over a year and I love it. There is so much more room than in a side by side style. It keeps food very cold. I didn't get the 3rd drawer style because I didn't think I would get into that drawer that much, but we do. I'd consider that option next time. The water dispenser is a little odd, because of the location (in the very front of the opening- the ice comes out at the back) but works very well. It doesn't make as much ice as some, but has a bin in the freezer where you can dump the ice already made. I knew this already before purchasing and it really hasn't been a problem. I use lots of ice and it is sufficient for me. If another ice loving person is here, then I need to dump the ice bin at night to make extra ice.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Would be 5 stars if filtered water came out faster
By BigTrev
from Sacramento, CA, United States
We love the fridge. Plenty of room for what we use (after removing one of the shelves). The controls are easy to use and the filter is simple to replace. The only gripe we have is the water dispenser is slow. Compared to other refrigerators that friends/family have, this seems like it's about 1/2 the speed of theirs. It does the job, but it gets tiring having to hold an ever-increasing weight longer than necessary.
This fridge is junk
By dphillips
from Undisclosed
The condensate drain plug constantly freezes over so the water drains into your freezer (and then all over the floor during defrost). The also ice maker stopped working.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Ice Maker
By bboonie88
from Mount Union, PA 17066, USA
Ice Maker in my fridge quit working right after the warranty was up and i am looking for parts and can't even find a parts breakdown of the unit. I am not gonna pay someone to replace the fan in my fridge when it is only a couple screws and a plug to replace it. had 1F error code which is ice fan which is the fan that blows the cold air into the slim plus ice system on the door to make it cold enough to freeze the ice. When the fan quits you can't get ice or water.
Ice maker and freezer problems
By wcand
from Oregon, USA
For the first year there were no issues. I begin to notice water pooling in front of the freezer door. After a thorough investigation, I determined the freezer was collecting water in the bottom and it was leaking onto the floor. Once a week I clear the ice to avoid the damage. The ice-maker in the door consistently jams and has to be emptied and cleared.
No issues so far and it works great
By rmm11
from Atlanta, GA
This replaces a GE side by side and the 3 door french style is so much more convenient. Only the left side door space is somewhat constrained by size of items that can be placed there, but having a smaller ice dispenser paves way for a lot more space inside.
We love it!
By ouma
from Tamarac, FL, USA
We needed a white refrigerator maximum 34" and wanted a water dispenser in the door. We found this unit and fell in love. It even has the ice maker in the door so that you don't lose any shelf space. If I could change anything, I would make the deli drawer into two drawers, then you wouldn't have to open both doors to access it.
This product provides numerous amenities
By Aunt Mar
from Lake City, Fl
Along with two controlled vegetable/fruit trays, there is an additional center tray and a long deli or fresh meat tray. The multiple shelves provide additional options for storage. The freezer space is much larger than I ever anticipated. We do not use that much ice, so the extra ice storage space in the freezer also provides a great space for ice cream.
Great features if they worked
By sue
from Lancaster, CA, USA
I was very excited about getting this refrigerator.First we had a recall on it along with the refrigerator I freezing everything including eggs etc. We are going on our 2nd repairman call with high hopes tht he can find the problem. I think it would be a great unit if it worked . The bottom freezer is a great idea. I am sure we will enjoy it once it is fixed or replaced.
This product has just what I wanted in a fridge
By Josey
from Glen Mills, PA
This product is just what I was looking for. Three doors, ice maker in the door with a water dispenser. The fact that you can put a pitcher under and dispense the ice and then the water is great. The inside has plenty of room and you can change the shelves according to your needs. I love the two shelves that slide back for taller items. The freezer has plenty of room and is easy to find and get things out.

A discussion on a Stockton Unified request that the Visalia Unified School District pick up the tab for the cost to pay substitute teachers that fill in for Pacific Law Academy teacher and Visalia Unified Trustee Charles Ulmschneider has been delayed.
Visalia Unified trustees were scheduled to discuss the request at a Tuesday board meeting, but the item was tabled so the district could obtain information on exactly how many days Stockton Unified is seeking reimbursement for and how much the full cost is, district officials confirmed on Wednesday.
Ulmschneider, a Spanish teacher, is in his fifth year as a Visalia Unified trustee. He was most recently re-elected in November. He was hired at Pacific Law Academy in August.
According to Stockton Unified, Ulmschneider leaves work two periods early - one class session and one prep period - to drive to Visalia on days he must attend school board meetings. According to the Education Code, such time is allowed to teachers who participate in public service.
The Education Code also allows districts to seek reimbursement costs for teachers they employ who utilize that time.
Ulmschneider has needed a half-day substitute 10 times this school year, equating to just under $700.
Visalia Unified is expected to revisit the topic March 11.

I wanted to install a Debian server then work on it from my physical XP through PuTTY with a SSH session. It only worked once. Actually, it failed shortly after authentication request.
I use a Windows XP physical computer linked to internet with a modem-router, a Netgear. Three other computers are on the network: 2 XP Sweet and 1 Ubuntu.
I've installed a virtual machine I plan to use as server for my network, it's a text-only Debian5 virtualized with Vmware player 3.0.1 build-227600. Its virtual network connection is set as bridged. I also have a graphical Debian virtual machine I set for tests, virtual network connection bridged as well.
Every machine in the network, physical or virtual, have fixed IP. They all ping the other machines in any direction you want.
I tried SSH sessions from my test Debian and it worked flawlessly. People from outside the network could also when I opened a route for them. After installing OCS-NG server on the virtual machine (through SSH from the test Debian), I've deployed (manually) the agents on the machines in the network, their inventories all appeared, except for my XPs. Similarly, I can access the web interface of OCS-NG from any machine of the network except this one.
It seems that from my physical machine, only ICMP packets can reach the virtual machine.
I thought at first it was a firewall problem from my machine but I've opened the required ports on the firewall of XP. Also after a test, I could SSH to the server of a friend, without problem.
I'm running low on ideas as to why both machines won't communicate.

Diabetes Health Center
Type 2 Diabetes in Children - Medications
The same medicines are used to treat adults and children with type 2 diabetes. These medicines increase insulin production, make the body better able to use insulin (decrease insulin resistance), or slow the intestinal absorption of carbohydrate.
Sometimes a child needs more than one medicine to adequately control diabetes. Two or more medicines taken together may work more effectively than a single medicine. Taking two medicines together also may reduce possible side effects by allowing lower doses of each. But in some cases, taking two medicines can increase the risk of certain side effects, such as low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Some children need daily insulin shots-alone or with other medicines. Even if your doctor does not prescribe daily insulin, your child may need to take insulin temporarily when first diagnosed or during illness or surgery. At some point in adulthood, he or she will likely need insulin, because over time the pancreas does not produce enough insulin. Insulin also may be needed during pregnancy and breast-feeding.
If your child has high cholesterol or high blood pressure, medicine for those conditions may be needed. Even blood pressure slightly above normal increases the risk for eye and kidney damage from diabetes.
Medicine choices
Medicines that decrease insulin resistance:
- Biguanides, such as metformin and other medicines that are combined with metformin
- Thiazolidinediones, such as pioglitazone and rosiglitazone
Medicines that increase insulin production:
- Sulfonylureas, such as glimepiride, glipizide, and glyburide
- Meglitinides, such as nateglinide and repaglinide
- DPP-4 inhibitors, such as linagliptin, saxagliptin, and sitagliptin
Medicines that slow intestinal absorption of carbohydrate:
- Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, such as acarbose or miglitol
If you are having trouble controlling your blood sugar with pills, your doctor may suggest one of these medicines, which are given as a shot:
- Incretin mimetics, such as exenatide and liraglutide
- Amylinomimetics, such as pramlintide
Some doctors treat children with insulin injections.
Medicines to control blood pressure and cholesterol
Some children may need medicines to lower their blood pressure and cholesterol to reduce the risk for later complications.
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) may be used to lower your child's blood pressure.
- Statins may be used if a healthy diet and physical activity do not lower cholesterol. Sexually active teens should be warned against becoming pregnant while taking these medicines.

These connectors work exactly as advertised. I put the two ends of the wire I wanted to connect into the connectors, crimped them, and then applied heat to shrink the built in heat shrink. I used them on my RV solar system and they fit the bill to a "T".

By Rick

I have used all sizes of these hermetically sealed butt connectors from HF on bith indoor and outdoor projects for many years. They work great and are inexpensive enough and of such good quality there is no reason to use any other brand. I wish they came in larger quantity packages. I use the HF wire strips and a pair of ratcheting crimps.. They work equally well using a heat gun or the blue section of a flame. I have crimps in my boats hull that are over two years old and still corrosion free

These connectors work well. They are over 1/2 the price of the brand name connectors and work just as well. With any type of heat shrink tubing/connector, make sure you do not overheat or burn them. I did on one of them and it became extremely brittle (To the point that it cracked and allowed water in). If done correctly, they make a perfectly sealed water tight connection. I really wish they would make other types of connectors (spade, bullet etc.) like this one. I would buy them in a heart beat!!!
Seem to work ok

They left bubbles of trapped air, but still seamed to make a water tight seal.

The cold wind blew in my hair that morning, as I slowly walked home from school. Maki had warned me, time and time again, about the disappearances in the area - she was just worrying, the streets were empty and peaceful. Nothing to worry about.
Lately, with the odd phenomena going on, I had noticed the city getting emptier. People must have been moving away from the drama, out to the countryside and away from the coast. The news reporters weren't helping matters, every time I turned on the TV they would be there proclaiming doom for New York City.
I turned out of the deserted alleyway on to a busier road, ducking and diving between business men and other students I made my way to my frequent stop off point. Magnolia Bakery was a quaint little business, I often stopped their for a quick snack on the long walk home.
"G'morning! How can I help?" Chimed the small cashier girl, she was often there when I popped in.
"A cinnamon roll to go," I said, pulling out a fistful of coins from my pocket and trading them for the sugary pastry. "Keep the change," I mumbled, throwing my hand up in some gesture of thanks as I left the establishment.
Just as I stepped out the door, my phone buzzed in my pocket. Balancing precariously against the wall I managed to pull it out, without dropped my cinnamon roll or bag.

Tony Curtis, a Hollywood leading man who memorably starred in films like The Defiant Ones, Spartacus, and Some Like It Hot, died on September 29, 2010 at his home in Las Vegas at age 85. Take a look back at the the roles – and romances – that made the handsome blue-eyed New Yorker a star.
Circa 1943, Curtis, then 18, and a friend are photographed in Honolulu during his service as a signalman 3rd class in the U.S. Navy. After his discharge he studied acting on the GI bill. His good looks and raw talent attracted the attention of a talent scout from Universal Studios, where he landed a contract.
Curtis (with saxophone) and Jack Lemmon hide from the mob by dressing as women in the 1959 comedy hit Some Like It Hot, costarring Marilyn Monroe. Although Curtis famously likened kissing the blonde bombshell to "kissing Hitler," Curtis later claimed Monroe was one of his many Hollywood conquests.
Curtis poses with his first of six wives, Janet Leigh, and their two daughters, Kelly and Jamie Lee, in 1959. "For a while, we were Hollywood's golden couple," Curtis once said of his actress wife, who starred in Psycho.
Curtis and daughter Jamie Lee (here in 1984) had a troubled relationship, which Curtis blamed on his ex-wife." She had heard that I was arrogant, uninterested, a rake, a womanizer, a drunk and a dope-taker," he told PEOPLE in 1980. But Jamie Lee eventually came to terms with their relationship, saying at the time, "I understand him better now, perhaps not as a father but as a man."
Curtis's last wife, Jill Vandenberg, was by his side when the actor died of cardiac arrest. "The age gap doesn't bother us," he once said of his sixth wife, who was 42 years his junior. "We laugh a lot. My body is functioning and everything is good. She's the sexiest woman I've ever known."
Curtis and frequent costar and good friend Jerry Lewis laugh it up in 1994. "Hollywood… the most sensational merry-go-around ever built," Curtis, who appeared in more than 100 films, once said of his career. See more images from Tony Curtis's life at LIFE.com

WACO (April 28, 2014) Waco police still were looking for leads after a man with a gunshot wound turned up in the emergency room of Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center Saturday.
Emergency room personnel called police at around 2:30 p.m. to report that a gunshot victim was being treated.
The 21-year-old victim was taken to the hospital in a private vehicle, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.
Swanton also said the victim and the suspect are acquainted.
The shooting occurred while the victim was at a convenience store in the 1100 block of Faulkner Lane in Waco.
The victim was shot in the lower leg and his injuries are not life-threatening, Swanton said.
Officers believe they know who the suspect is, but no arrests have been made at this time.

Court officials warn of bogus emailsJune 03,2014Court officials warn
of bogus emails
Authorities are warning the public to beware of email telling the recipient they have just received important information from the state court system that must be opened.
Court officials say several Windham County residents reported receiving email messages with the subject line, Notice of Appearance. The messages also state that an attached notice must be opened for more information and is signed, Truly yours, Susan Mason, clerk to the court.
These emails are not legitimate court notices, and the attachments are likely malware that will attempt to gather personal information stored on the users computer, court officials said in a release issued Monday. Please instruct anyone receiving such an email to not open the attachment, and to report the receipt of the email to their Internet Service Provider.MORE IN This Just In

Hala Shiha returns to Mohammad Foad
In a shocking move, young Egyptian actress Hala Shiha has returned to the set of the film "Ghawi Hubb" starring Egyptian singer Mohammad Foad, after withdrawing from it last month. The actress revealed that a misunderstanding had occurred between her and the makers of the film, but all problems were dissolved and she will once again act alongside Foad.
According to the London based Elaph, a special ceremony was held in celebration of Hala's return by the film crew. Hala refused to give exact details regarding the nature of the misunderstanding and revealed that the producers had finally agreed to some of her conditions when they failed to find a replacement for her.
The new film "Ghawi Hubb" had been going through endless obstacles making the singer lose hope in it ever being completed. First the film has been delayed several times for different reasons to be followed by the unfortunate incidents of the apology of the producer Majdi Al Huwari from being unable to produce the film and the withdrawal of director Mohammad Kamal Al Shinawi due the constant interference of Foad in all the details of the film.
The biggest blow that hit the film and its lead actor, Mohammad, was the sudden withdrawal of Hala, who stopped coming to the filming scenes and had closed her mobile phone making her unreachable.
Hala had justified her withdrawal from the film as being a result of the pulling out of the director, who wanted to make some alterations to the script making her part of more importance. Foad refused the alterations to the script in turn making Hala's role in the film a mere secondary one, a matter the actress rejected.
The movie, which is to be filmed in Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh, revolves mainly around Hala and Mohammad who fall in love but encounter several obstacles in their way. Mohammad is supposed to sing three different songs for Hala in the film.

The international homeopathic medical society Liga Medicorum Homoeopathica Internationalis (LMHI), established in Rotterdam in 1925, represents homeopathic physicians in more than 70 countries all over the world. The purposes of the association are the development and securing of homeopathy worldwide and the creation of a link among licensed homeopaths with medical diplomas and societies and persons who are interested in homeopathy. The LMHI is exclusively devoted to non-profit activities serving philanthropic benefits.

INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON WORLD HOMOEOPATHY DAY:INTEGRATING HOMOEOPATHY IN HEALTH CAREAn international convention on world homoeopathy day was held to commemorate the 261 st birth anniversary of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann on 9 th -10 th April 2016, at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, India.
Liga News Nr. 16
LUC MONTAGNIER IN THE VII NATIONAL CONGRESS OF HOMEOPATHY (SPAIN)The rough campaign of attacks suffered to the Spaniards homeopaths during the month of April found a brake with the celebration of the VII National Congress of Homeopathy, which took place in Donostia (San Sebastian) the days 6th, 7th, and 8th of May 2016. We counted with the presence of the Nobel Prize winning of Medicine, Dr. Luc Montagnier. The attendance of this important figure of the Medicine let us to get back again our influence on the most important national media and also in some regional media.
A great gift to the Homeopathic Community by a great Hahnemannian doctor, Dr. K.S.Srinivasan – the QHD
The 71º LMHI Congress will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 24-27 August, 2016 and we would like to count on your presence.Escuela Médica Homeopática Argentina "Tomás Pablo Paschero", member of the Federation of Argentinean Medical Homeopathic Associations (FAMHA), invites you to join us next year in the adventure of the understanding of the human microcosm.
This joint publication of the Liga Medicorum Homeopathica Internationalis (LMHI), the European Committee for Homeopathy (ECH) and Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH) was revised edition after 69th LMHI Congress, July 2014 (Paris, France). The aim is to consider all important aspects of the scientific framework of homeopathic practice including ethical questions, evaluation of daily practice, looking at the level of scientific evidence of each of these aspects.
Liga Medicorum Homoeopathica Internationalis (LMHI), an international body which strives to preserve and promote the homeopathic science through its worldwide network of licensed healthcare providers, disagrees strongly with a number of unscientific methods used to draw questionable conclusions from a narrow group of studies on homeopathy by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). NHMRC is Australia's leading expert body promoting the development and maintenance of public and individual health standards. The NHMRC Statement on Homeopathy was released on 11 March 2015 by the Homeopathy Working Committee (HWC) of that council.
In March 2013, the LMHI moved its statutory seat from Geneva, Switzerland, to the original house of Dr Samuel Hahnemann in Koethen (Anhalt), Germany. One of the reasons for this decisive step was the intention to achieve the status of a non-profit organization for the LMHI. In August 2013, the German tax offices granted the LMHI this status of a non-profit organization. From now on, the LMHI has the possibility to receive donations and issue receipts.
The LMHI has moved its statutory seat from Geneva, Switzerland, to the original house of Dr Samuel Hahnemann in Koethen (Anhalt), Germany. This move was celebrated in the presence of the Secretary of State in the Ministry of Science and Economic Affairs of Saxony-Anhalt Marco Tullner, Koethen's Lord Mayor Kurt-Juergen Zander and other city representatives from the City of Koethen, the LMHI Executive Board, and more than 50 guests from all around the world, including India, Bangladesh, Japan, Turkey, and Serbia, but also from Belgium, Austria and the Netherlands, in a joyful and moving ceremony on 16 March 2013. From 1821 to 1835, Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, lived and praticed in "Wallstraße 47" and it is here where he wrote his work "Chronic Diseases" in 1828. His former residence has been extensively restored by the Hahnemannhouse-Society.

A method for the design of nearly linear-phase recursive digital filters is proposed. The recursive filter is assumed be a cascade arrangement of second-order biquadratic sections whose transfer functions are expressed in the polar form. An error function is formulated based on the difference between the actual complex frequency response of the filter and the desired frequency response. Then by using a least-pth minimax algorithm, the required design is obtained. The new method achieves filter stability through the use of a parameterization scheme based on the so-called sigmoid function and it incorporates a mechanism by which an arbitrary prescribed stability margin can be achieved. The optimization engine used in the least-pth algorithm is an unconstrained quasi-Newton algorithm based on the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno updating formula and it incorporates a nonuniform adaptive variable sampling technique to prevent spikes in the error function. Several filter design examples demonstrate that the proposed method is very efficient in terms of computational effort required since it is an unconstrained method and, furthermore, it can yield designs that are superior relative to some of the known state-of-the-art methods.

Rioters Lynched Blacks in 1863, Torched Orphanage: Lewis Lapham
In 1799, New York passed a law gradually emancipating slaves, but that did not erase hostility toward African Americans. The nonstop arrival of white immigrants displaced skilled black laborers, who were forced into menial jobs, like "tubmen" or outhouse cleaners.
Anti-black feelings also led to violence. In July, 1863, the Draft Riots broke out in New York. What started as a protest against the rich who could buy their way out of serving as soldiers in the Civil War, turned into a rampage against black New Yorkers.
Many who fell into the hands of the mob were tortured and killed, including one man who was beaten with clubs and paving stones, before being hanged from a tree and set on fire. Even the Colored Orphan Asylum on Fifth Avenue was torched. No one knows the exact death toll, but some estimates put it as high as 2,000.
I spoke with Gene Dattel, author of "Cotton and Race in the Making of America," on the following topics:
1. Cotton Is King
2. Freed Slaves Trapped
3. Northern Imperialism
4. Black Labor Serves Cotton
5. Civil Rights Protests

I've read that $\text{Br} \mathbb{P}^n_k$ (here $\text{Br}$ is the cohomological Brauer group, i.e. $H^2_{ét}(-,\mathbb{G}_m)$) is just isomorphic to $\text{Br} k$. As proof of this fact seems to be not so easy in the general case, but there should be a simple and conceptual proof when $k$ has characteristic zero. Does anyone know this simple proof?
I don't think the assumption of characteristic zero simplifies the proof a great deal. However, it does allow us to avoid having to give a more involved proof for the $p$-power torsion (where $p = char (k)$) so I will assume that below.
Firstly, by Proposition 1.4 of Grothendieck's "Groupe de Brauer II", $H^2(X, \mathbb{G}_m)$ is torsion for a smooth variety $X$ so we may use the Kummer sequence $$ 1 \to \mu_r \to \mathbb{G}_m \stackrel{r}{\to} \mathbb{G}_m \to 1 $$ of etale sheaves on $X$ to compute the $r$-torsion for all $r$ and hence compute all of $Br(X)$.
The long exact sequence of etale cohomology on $X$ gives an exact sequence $$ H^1(X,\mathbb{G}_m) = Pic(X) \stackrel{d}{\to} H^2(X, \mu_r) \to Br(X) \stackrel{r}{\to} Br(X) $$ so we need to compute the cokernel of $d$.
Since $H^0(\mathbb{P}_{\bar{k}}^n,\mu_r) = \mu_r$, $H^1(\mathbb{P}_{\bar{k}}^n, \mu_r) = 0$, and $H^2(\mathbb{P}_{\bar{k}}^n, \mu_r)) = \mathbb{Z}/r$, the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence gives an exact sequence $$ 0 \to H^2(Gal(\bar{k}/k),\mu_r) \to H^2(\mathbb{P}_k^n, \mu_r) \to H^0(Gal(\bar{k}/k), \mathbb{Z}/r) \to 0 .$$
The map $\mathbb{Z} = Pic(\mathbb{P}^n) \to H^2(\mathbb{P}^n, \mu_r) \to H^2(\mathbb{P}_{\bar{k}}^n, \mu_r) = \mathbb{Z}/r$ is surjective so it follows that $H^2(Gal(\bar{k}/k),\mu_r) = Br(k)[r]$ maps isomorphically onto $Cokernel(d) = Br(\mathbb{P}^n)[r]$. Since this is true for any integer $r$ it follows that the map $Br(k) \to Br(\mathbb{P}^n)$ is an isomorphism.
Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional projective space over a field $k$. Let $k_s$ be a separable closure of $k$, and $X_s$ the base change of $X$ to $k_s$. The algebraic part $\textrm{Br}_1(X)$ of the Brauer group of $X$ is defined as $\textrm{Br}_1(X) = \ker(\textrm{Br}(X) \rightarrow \textrm{Br}(X_s))$ and sits inside a short exact sequence $$0 \rightarrow \textrm{Br}(k) \rightarrow \textrm{Br}_1(X) \rightarrow H^1(G_k,\textrm{Pic}(X_s)) \rightarrow 0$$ given by the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence. Since $\textrm{Pic}(X_s) = \mathbf{Z}$, it follows that we have a canonical isomorphism between $\textrm{Br}_1(X)$ and $\textrm{Br}(k)$.
So now we are reduced to showing that $\textrm{Br}(X_s)$ is trivial. I do not how to do this at the moment.
Consider the commutative diagram
\begin{array}{ccc} \operatorname{Br}k & \xrightarrow{f_1} & \operatorname{Br} \mathbb{P}_{k}^{n} \\ \scriptsize{f_2}\ \downarrow & \swarrow \scriptsize{f_3}& \downarrow \scriptsize{f_4}\\ \operatorname{Br}\mathbb{A}_{k}^{n} & \xrightarrow[f_5]{} & \operatorname{Br}k(x_{1},\dotsc,x_{n}) \end{array}
induced by pullback.
By [Milne, Etale Cohomology, Corollary IV.2.6], $f_{4}$ is injective; hence $f_{3}$ is injective. If $k$ has characteristic zero, $f_{2}$ is an isomorphism by [Auslander-Goldman, "The Brauer group of a commutative ring", Proposition 7.7]; thus $f_{3}$ is surjective.
EDIT: See also Proposition 1.5 of Reineke and Schroer's paper "Brauer groups for quiver moduli", http://arxiv.org/abs/1410.0466.

In recent years the ARRL has became quiet protective of the ARES(c) program, the use of the, ARES(c) logo and paperwork. This why I gave up participation. ARES(c) Is nothing moore than an ARRL backed program. The REAL program exist ONLY becaues of the volunteers involved in it. Something that the ARRL seems to forget.
Although I must admit, the ARRL is to amateur radio is what the NRA is to gun owners.

Though I'm not really active anymore, I still have my Amateur Extra license in case I want to get involved again. After hearing this, I will stick to my house and other 2A-friendly locations if employing my license privileges becomes necessary.
Thank you *VERY* much to the OP and others for sharing and comments on this.

I wasn't aware of the ARRL policy. I'm in both ARES and RACES. I always carry and don't plan to stop. In Utah, you can carry in state, county and city offices, and schools, so the EOC would most likely not be a problem, unless it is a church, then it could be.
I have been to several events where the Governor was present and greeted people who were openly carrying firearms.
In a real emergency, there is no doubt in my mind about carrying.

Greetings fellows CC/OCers and hams..this is my 1st post on this forum. I also received the letter that was posted by the OP. Im also planning on resigning from the local ARES group here in south central WI. (had a run-in with the local LE when i was OCing AND doing ARES activities).
Welcome to the forum GlockRDH!
Glad to hear that I'm not the only one planning to resign from ARES in WI over this.
Ive not yet sent my county issued ID back to our group...lol..i suppose i should....Since our Field day exercise is almost completely an ARES event/group, Im SURE something will be said in the near future! Some of us 2A hams down here are considering a 2A-friendly Field day this summer.
One other thing that Ive not mentioned on anyother forums...the county sheriffs dept has had the ARES group doing SECURITY at the county fair...using THEIR Communications trailer, golf cart with the sheriffs dept logo on it, and they even gave us a radio on their freq to use 'in case of an emergency' ...THAT right there would be a much bigger liability than me being armed for my own protection...
Interestingly I started a thread on QRZ back in December ASKING if the ARRL had a policy in place...I pretty much got laughed at for asking such a silly question... I guess they didnt see what was coming.
I'm an EC and a DEC in an ARES/RACES/CERT team but we work directly with county EMA. We've already been discussing separation from ARES and the ARRL due to many other practices and policies that are "out of touch" with the times. The agenda for the next meeting will include this topic as many of my team place a high value on their 2A rights... as do I. My prediction: ARES will lose it's official presence here and it will be replaced by a state-level EmComm group with policies and procedures that work without alienating its volunteer members.

Brett Burton's town of footy-mad kids
- From: Herald Sun
- August 28, 2012
THE FOOTY-MAD kids in the South Australian town of Whyalla, where Brett Burton grew up in the 1980s, would all pick a VFL team to support.
Burton's was Collingwood, which used to thrill him with the goals of Peter Daicos and the marking of Denis Banks.
By the time he was a teenager Burton had moved south to Adelaide and his time at Underdale High School coincided with the Crows joining the AFL.
He switched allegiances, and the thrills were provided by the likes of acrobatic high flier Tony Modra and the exquisitely skilled Jarman brothers.
"I certainly enjoyed watching (M odra) go about his work, that's for sure,'' Burton said. "He was very inspirational.''
Unfortunately for Burton, he arrived at Adelaide as a first-round pick in the 1998 national draft, the same one the Crows used to trade Modra to Fremantle for draft picks 29 (Tyson Stenglein) and 34 (Brian Beinke).
Modra's departure left a void for a frequent flier in the forward line, and "The Birdman'' eventually accepted the position, taking numerous speccies throughout his decade with the Crows.
In his debut season he took two of his favourite grabs: over teammate Bryan Beinke against St Kilda at Waverley, and over Andrew Wills against Fremantle at Subiaco Oval.
Burton is well qualified to assess what makes a decent speccie, so we asked to nominate his favourite.
"I reckon Gary Ablett's one-hander over Gary Pert,'' Burton said.
"He was off balance and to still be able to pull it in with the one hand was just unbelievable.
"To be up as high as he was, and have the skill and control to come out of it with a mark was pretty exceptional.''

I did manage to satisfy my craving for gluten free pizza while I was in London.
I know they have Hell's Pizza in London now but I can have that anytime in New Zealand. I wanted to find something I hadn't tried before. So I searched online and found The Gluten Free Foodie's post about gluten free pizza and also Yelp. After reading the posts and the reviews, I decided on Otto's.
While in London I was staying at Limehouse Basin near canary Wharf and Otto is situated in Notting Hill but when you are on holiday and you have a fantastic tube system to get you around this great city, nowhere is too far to go to find good gluten free food. So one chilly evening after Em had finished work, we made our separate ways to Notting Hill, met outside Bayswater station and then with a little help from google maps on Em's phone, we found our way to Otto's on Chepstow Road. (Thank you Em for being happy to go all over London with me based on my gluten free whims.)
The atmosphere at Otto's when you first walk in is intimate and friendly. The staff were very helpful when I asked about the gluten free pizzas. Their standard pizza is made with a mix of cornmeal (which is gluten free) and organic wheat flour. They also make a base without wheat or gluten but they are made in the one kitchen so cannot be called gluten free. This was all explained before ordering.
The gluten free option can't be ordered by the slice like the normal Otto's pizzas but Em and I were able to share a gluten free base and have half and half toppings. (We had Red Lentil Kofte and Leek and Bacon from their new spring menu.)
I won't attempt to describe the taste of the cornmeal pizza crust other than to say it was a unique taste sensation. (Gluten Free Foodie has a great post on Otto's pizzas that describes them beautifully.) Lots of delicious toppings made from fresh ingredients. Check out their current menu and take the time to try these cornmeal pizzas. I doubt you will be disappointed.

Analysis of cpDNA matK sequences for a total of 43 members of the succulent plant family Crassulaceae, including 24 taxa of Crassula, recovered a well-supported clade comprising Crassula species that is sister to the remainder of the family. The resulting topologies do not support the monophyly of the currently recognized subgenera of Crassula, as one member of subgenus Disporocarpa (C. crenulata) is placed as sister to an otherwise monophyletic subgenus Crassula. The major synapomorphy that has been used to recognize the latter subgenus is a base chromosome number of x = 7 versus a base of x = 8 in the other subgenus. We cannot assess the utility of this feature for defining subgenus Crassula because a chromosome count of C. crenulata has yet to be published. The five accessions of the recently resurrected segregate genus Tillaea (of 24 total Crassula species) included here were placed in four separate, well-supported lineages, one of which is greatly removed from the other four accessions. This suggests that this genus is not valid and should not be recognized. An initial examination of the evolution of habit indicates that a perennial habit is ancestral and that the annual habit is a feature that has been derived at least twice in the genus.

may upend Clibborn by offering her own 520-specific tolling plan that would divvy up the roads and transit priorities more appropriately there.
Yes, 90/10 is inappropriate, a road toll should go 100% to roads.
The split should go to transit to help pay for frequent, rapid, transit over the bridges because that is a more cost effective and environmentally responsible way to move people.
Without more robust transit the tolls create Lexus lanes and people with needs are excluded form the job market on the other side of the bridges.
We're trying to raise money, price congestion, and build a transportation system that moves people around the region and we need more transit to do that.
There's already a lot of buses over 520, it'd be hard to add capacity in a lot of those places (esp. Montlake).
How are you going to spend more than a small percentage of the tolling money on "transit?" The money is going toward replacing the bridge - aside from putting in HOV lanes on the new bridge, what other "transit" items would they spend the money on? We're talking about funding a replacement structure - all of the tolling money needs to go toward that end, which should naturally limit the percentage that goes toward transit.
I agree with #1. 100% Go get your own money weasels.
@2 - You're missing the point. This is not about environmentally-responsible social engineering through transit expansion, this is about replacing a dangerously unsafe structure. I know we're all looking for ways to expand and improve transit options in the region, but the most important use for the toll money is to replace the damn bridge - that means building a new one that won't crumble and kill people when the next earthquake inevitably hits.
One more time: this isn't about getting people out of cars, it's about replacing a dangerously unsafe structure.
Do we divert a percentage of bus fares to pay for road maintenance?
One more time: this isn't about getting people out of cars,
To the transit dorks, it's always about getting people out of their cars, and only about getting people out of their cars.
Josh, if you really, really want to kill the tolling idea for 520, this is exactly the way to do it. Tolls are supposed to pay for the 520 replacement. I have no problem with using part of the toll money for transit... if it's built into the replacement bridge. Two HOV / transit lanes down the center, with dedicated ramps, like I-90? We can do that. But the farther the money moves away from the bridge itself, the greater the public outcry and the chances of the toll idea being shitcanned.
Greg is right, even if most people don't want to admit it.
Tolls should only go to pay the cost of what they are physically attached to. A toll on a bridge should only pay for that bridge.
Dividing toll money among projects essentially puts it into the general fund. The money can be earmarked for certain projects, but once it's in the general fund, there's no guarantee it's going down that way, and will most certainly be dipped into during the next budget shortfall.
San Francisco has got itself into a big fucking pickle doing this. (San Francisco has the unique distinction of owning the Golden Gate bridge - rare for a city to own a bridge on an interstate highway), GG bridge tolls have been at $5 for the last few years, and will probably climb soon - and yet, the bridge can't even cover it's maintenance budget.
We have a 30 year backlog on maintenance and repairs for existing bridges and roads, Dougsf, and that accounts for 75 percent of them.
I think it's time we stopped giving the commercial trucks and 18-wheelers a free ride, since they do 90 percent of the actual damage to roads and bridges ...
road tolling goes to roads. that's the point.
let's not obfuscate things. it frees up bridge money from the transportation budget so we can focus that on better ways to move people and goods.
On the first day that tolls are imposed, hundreds, if not thousands of commuters are going to look for a seat on a bus across the lake, because they will refuse to pay the $4 - $7 daily charge to cross in their car.
And on that first day, those seats had better be there, one way or another. On KUOW this morning, Ron Sims acknowledged as much.
Taking some percentage of toll revenues to pay for these additional buses and drivers seems eminently reasonable. To those who say no, all the tolls have to go to concrete, then I ask, where does the money come from to buy and operate all the new buses that MUST be in place to handle people displaced by tolls?
Umm.. The money comes from the people riding the bus. When you get on the bus, there is a little slot that you can put dollars in and a hole on top for coins.
If more people ride the bus, there is more money going in. If the folks who run the busses anticipate more of a demand for busses, then they should be ready with increased capacity.
I think that anybody who crosses the bridge should pay a toll though. It doesn't matter how you do it, bus, bike or walking.
If you're going to go to the trouble of re-building a bridge, you should build it in a way that it will be useful for a century to come. That means maximizing the corridor's efficiency in a way that also addresses the critical environmental issue of the next 100 years - global warming.
Efficiency means maximizing throughput - of people and goods, not cars. Given that this corridor is incredibly tightly constrained (just ask UW, the Arboretum and the neighborhoods on either side of the bridge), that means using a combination of car, transit and bike capacity. If you maximize the transit opportunities, you can carry more people in one HOV lane than you would in, even, three more car lanes.
The need to dramatically reduce carbon emissions over the next 40 years- something the Governor and Legislature has already agreed to- adds more weight to the need to favor transit as much as possible for maximizing capacity.
Most importantly, these tolling bills are not just about 520, they establish the policies for tolling anywhere in the state. When you look at variable tolling as a way to better manage the existing freeway system and create a non-tax based pool of revenue to meet future transportation needs, it would be insane to limit tolling revenues to a 90/10 asphalt/transit ratio.
HOV lanes don't really do anything about carbon emissions. Theoretically, they could move 3x as many people through, but in reality they sit there doing nothing while folks are jammed into the other lanes idling.
And reducing carbon emissions over the next 40 years? This is easy because we have already passed peak oil and are going to be lucky to have any left on this planet in 15 years.
Manufacturers are already working to mass produce hydrogen powered cars that have ZERO carbon emissions. As soon as more people realize that cars can be powered by water, the faster this whole global warming thing gets solved.
Thats how you solve the problem, not by building HOV lanes. People aren't giving up their cars. It'll never happen.
I do agree with you though.. 90/10 is insane. 100/0 all the way.
Also, let's be honest. Carpool cheaters (with their turn signals on to show that they're maybe, someday, going to merge back with the traffic they're passing on the right) outnumber actual carpoolers on 520 westbound.
@14 & @9 have it down.
Yes, toll revenues should be spent in the corridor in which they were collected, but we have to have alternatives to single-passenger vehicles in place the day the tolls are charged.
Hernandez, Clint, JMR: you may hate transit, but without tolling, that bridge will never be replaced, and you won't get toll revenues to replace it unless we provide alternatives along that corridor at the same time.
Also, let's be honest. Carpool cheaters (with their turn signals on to show that they're maybe, someday, going to merge back with the traffic they're passing on the right) outnumber actual carpoolers on 520 westbound.
Or the people riding with the crash dummies in the passenger seat - at least until they start the infrared testing.
BTW I LOVE Perfect Voter's "displaced by tolls" line. It's funding a replacement bridge, people. This isn't Katrina.
Ah....Clint @15, yes, buses do collect fares, but unfortunately even a full bus doesn't pay the full cost of its purchase and operation. Yes, (right-wingers can shudder) buses are subsidized, for a host of reasons that are OT at the moment.
So my assertion stands -- somewhere, some how, KCMetro and/or Sound Transit will need to have many additional buses out there, on 520 (and I-90 if it's tolled also), beginning on Day One of tolling.
And if some people (Tiresome Tim...?) don't want to use toll revenues to pay for additional buses needed (over and above farebox revenues) then someone suggest an alternative funding source.
Manufacturers are already working to mass produce hydrogen powered cars that have ZERO carbon emissions.
The hydrogen does not fall out of people's asses, you have to cook it up - some ways of doing that produce emissions in their own right.
But yes, people really fretting over global warming should be working on reducing car emissions instead of having hallucinations about people abandoning their cars for transit.
So my assertion stands -- somewhere, some how, KCMetro and/or Sound Transit will need to have many additional buses out there, on 520 (and I-90 if it's tolled also), beginning on Day One of tolling.
If the toll causes droves and droves of people to take a bus, then the toll is priced too high.
"The hydrogen does not fall out of people's asses, you have to cook it up - some ways of doing that produce emissions in their own right."
You're right.. It doesn't fall out of people's asses. It occurs when you applly an electric charge to water. Basically, you need a 6th grader who knows what to do with a battery and some wire.
Obviously the technology needs a few revisions to be perfected, but it certainly isn't going to get done by building more HOV lanes.
Perfect Voter, please don't make this a left vs. right, liberal vs. conservative or Tim Eyman issue.
I am as liberal as they come, 100% behind mass transit and could care less about Tim Eyman. I am just sick and tired of the way that we consensus build projects to death in this city.
I was all about making concessions, cooperating and funding/building roads at the same time as fixing our road infrastructure and was shocked to see the selfish pro-transit people shit all over it because it was too "pro-road, pro-pollution", pro-blah blah blah.
If the transit people want to build a train, go for it. Put together a good plan, get it on the ballot and I'll vote for it like I always do. If that happens in February of 2008, like some of the anti-prop 1 folks claimed, great! If it doesn't happen til 2010, I can't say I feel too sorry for the people who shit all over a good compromise.
My thing is that I just don't want to hold up progress on fixing the bridge while we wait for the sierra club to pull their heads out of their asses or get input from people who are never going to pay that toll or even go to the east side.
whoops. I meant build trains at the same time as roads.
Clint, don't read too much into my posts. My grand, global transit ideas can be found elsewhere.
On this string, I'm dealing only with the narrow issue of how to accommodate travelers on 520 (and I-90 if it's included too) when tolling begins. Variable tolls are being discussed, and they are designed to shift vehicles out of the peak hours so that congestion is reduced and vehicle thru-put per lane can actually be increased. Some of those travelers will elect to drive during non-peak hours when the toll is lower, some will carpool so the toll can be shared, and some will shift to transit. Let's make sure that transit capacity is made available for those who need in, when toll day comes.
I totally understand where you are coming from, but I think that the routes that need subsidizing are the ones that go clear into the middle of nowhere and have super low ridership, not the routes that are completely packed all day going in and out of some of the region's biggest employers.
I have heard that Microsoft is already experiementing with their own bus service (with wi-fi and all kinds of stuff) as a perk to their employees. So it appears as though those companies don't mind picking up some of the slack.
I'm all for subsidizing those routes to bumfuck, because even if you live in the sticks, you should be able to get around if you are too broke for a car, or have had some driver's license issue. But, I just don't see how a bus crammed full of paying riders isn't going to pay for itself pretty easily.
