Government comes out against holding a referendum
Seeing as Labour said they would only support reforms if they were paired with a referendum, and at least 100 Tory MPs are threatening to kill the programme motion when it comes before the Commons, I think this latest attempt to break the House of Lords is likely to fail.
I'll hold back on uncorking the champagne just yet though
It appears that the Government's Lords reform proposals are dead.

Good! The Lords should not be reformed!

I'd like to see reform, but not without a referendum and not with an elected upper chamber. I hope they kill this quickly.
I hope so. I always wanted to see Baron Samedi in the Lords.
May they rest in peace. Cue pretentious quoting of Burke.
The House of Lords is a relic of a bygone age. No, they don't have much power, but that any unelected individuals have any power is disgusting - especially after things like the Cash for Honours scandal and because of the fact that hereditary peers still exist. I was looking forward to those reforms. They'd have modernised our Upper House and made it actually useful for something beyond holding up legislation. There is literally no advantage to having it in it's current state.

What would be less democratic is two elected chambers competing for power.

I disagree. The final say is with the Commons which has absolute freedom to override the Lords. In fact, the only thing which would hold them back from doing so is public opinion. It's perfectly democratic.

Cash for honours was found out because of the 1999 reforms and could be virtually eliminated by other means not including election.

I disagree. It would have made it a tool for undemocratic conservatism and an ill-informed block on radical reform. The present situation - of a Lords deferential to the elected Commons - is more democratic than having both elected.
(Original post by gladders)
There's plenty - certainly more than destructive election. In any case, many anti-electors don't argue for standing still - they oppose this kind of reform: populist, spurious, fallacial and dangerous.
(Original post by hyakushiki1234)
But the Lords crucially still have the power to hold back legislation. Since they're unelected then IMO they don't have have any legitimate power to do that - or anything else. Having two elected chambers works fine everywhere else in the world in lots of political systems - the US, the Diet of Japan &c - and it encourages cross-party talks rather than partisanship. Less efficient, certainly, but more democratic, I'd say.
And no, I don't think it helps in producing consensus (which is what I think you're driving at): it certainly isn't the case in the US. Moreover, consensus isn't straightforwardly democratic. If a minority can frustrate the majority, then it's by its very nature less than purely democratic.
Moreover, such compromises obscure the line of accountability between government and governed.
It could, but the issue would have never existed in an elected Upper chamber. Cash for Honours was essentially buying a seat in Government and had it not been discovered then those Peers would still be there. Even in the most corrupt electoral systems, the corruption can be rooted out fairly quickly by means of an election.
But it's almost entirely worthless as it is now. It can manage nothing beyond delays.
Its purpose is to support - not necessarily oppose - the elected House in its work. It does the majority of the scrutinising because the Commons is too busy to handle it, but it still leaves the final say in the hands of the people's representatives. If it were given the right to do anything more than delay, I would say it - under any form of composition - is undermining democracy.
Having a legitimate, reasonably powerful check on the Commons would be more democratic, especially if elections were staggered.
Unicameral chambers are the purest form of representative democracy; I consider those that argue for the House of Lords' abolition to be far more consistent in their beliefs than those who think electing the Lords is more democratic.
One of the biggest problems with the Westminster Parliamentary system is that the majority power is generally an elective dicatorship which has no meaningful check on its power. An elected Upper chamber would change that.
Even if your claim were true, I fail to see how having two chambers elected would break party dominance. You would essentially be breaking the system down, preventing decisions being made. This would be good for conservatism, but bad for democracy: particularly as, over time, people would become increasingly less tolerant of compromise, as has happened in the US.
How is election destructive? This reform certainly isn't populist and nor is it dangerous. It's downright sensible since it would end the last traces of aristocratic, undemocratic rule in Britain and it would give the Upper House the legitimacy it has always lacked.
Our parliamentary system is reflected in many other democratic states: France, Belgium, Germany, Holland, Canada, and Ireland, for example - which all hold to the tenet that two elected chambers is self-defeating. They copy us, in having one chamber directly elected and supreme, and the other representing something else, and insulating them from elections. The principle of electing both Houses is not as universal as you claim.
I'd be much more sympathetic with those who argue for Britain turning into a unicameral state. I still disagree with the idea, but it's at least coherent - it would be more democratic, wouldn't impact accountability, and is much more universally upheld worldwide than two elected chambers.
I personally sit in favour of the House of Lords in general, at present it is in a poor state and I do think that there are many reforms that could be beneficial to it. But following the path of a Senate, in Britain's case, is by far not the way. I routinely watch the House of Lords, Australian Senate and NSW Legislative Council – the prior is generally filled with people who have actual life experience and contribute constructively (aside from a few of the new political life peers), the latter two are filled with exactly the same type of people that occupy the House of Representatives and Legislative Assembly, politically orientated stick figures such as Penny Wong and her cohort (Not intended as a homophobic gesture, I despise of her for many reasons other than that).
The idea that you would have an elected body that could be chosen by the people to elect senior figures to truly act in a supervisory and overseeing position as advisors with experience to the government is ridiculous. No elected house in the modern age can serve this purpose; the Australian Senate does not even use that as a description anymore since the days when the youngest parliament member is a Senator with the only life experience of working for two weeks as a bank teller and her role in a political party.
-Also to me, and I do not read a lot of the UK papers anymore so have not followed this in detail, but I see on one page the figures that the Liberal Democrats are going into 2015 looking in a very poor position and Nick Clegg then asking for a body where they would get fifteen year terms. Looks like job security to me.
Personally, I fell that we need to hold a refferendum on our membership of the EU before we begin to reform the Lords which, as you say, has no real power!

I wish someone could point out the faculty (which I obviously lack) by which the immutable truth that is the immoral nature of hereditary power is discovered. Doesn't it seem rather odd that it only started working properly for most people in the early 20th century? I suppose people must have simply been incredibly stupid in the past.
Labour's position on this irritates me. They say they want to democratize the house of Lords but they did absolutely nothing in this regard during their 13 years in power.

Frankly I don't blame them for not getting beyond that. As long as election is assumed to be the only possible reform, the House of Lords will remain as it is, Election is too difficult to implement.
(Original post by gladders)
Yes and no. Are you forgetting the 1999 Act, which removed almost all the hereditary peers?
Good. They have no mandate to mess around with the constitution like this. If they wanted to reform the Lords both parties should have made it a key plank in their respective manifestos, not sneak it in the small print and then use it to do whatever they hell they like.
By the way - "Bt." is the abbreviation for baronet, which is a hereditary knighthood, not a peerage. They can inherit that through their deceased father, but it holds no special privileges.

As MT states, she's a Life Peer, not a hereditary one, so he won't.

Is there's a different between a Life peer and a Peerage?

Release Date : September 25, 1942
Running Time : 7:25
One of the funnier Disney cartoons. The conflict between Pete and
Donald is wonderfully done - servicemen probably especially enjoyed
it. The dialog at the ending is just precious: Pete (in a straightjacket
in the cell) says to Donald (who is outside the cell, guarding him),
"I ain't crazy! You KNOW I ain't crazy! Go tell the general that I ain't
crazy!" Donald replies, "Do you think I'M CRAZY?" and then whistles
the song "The Army's Not The Army Anymore."
At the start of the cartoon, when Donald is "camouflaging" the cannon
with bright paint, he sings the song "The Army's Not The Army Anymore"
that was first included in the earlier cartoon
Donald Gets Drafted.
I especially like the scene in which the invisible Donald travels
through a field of flowers and the petals stick to Donald - making his
shape visible. Just as Pete is about to capture him, Donald removes
the petals as he circles the tree, chanting "Here we go 'round the mulberry
bush!" Pete chases Donald around the tree, throwing petals where he
thinks Donald is - Pete also chants "Here we go 'round ..." The general
drives up as Pete is doing this, convinced that Pete is crazy. Pete
doesn't help himself when he asks the general if he has seen the "little
guy you can't see." Donald, still invisible, sticks a cactus plant into
Pete's pants, making Pete jump around like a mad man - convincing the
general even more that Pete is crazy.
Most showings of this cartoon on the Disney Channel have censored
the more violent scenes, such as the grenades.
P: What are you doing here!?
DD: I was camouflage painting.
P: Camouflage!? You poodle! You got to paint it, so ya' can't see it!
And a very subdued Donald says:
DD: Oh... I didn't know...
One reason why I like this cartoon is that Donald ends up with the
upper hand. I really prefer to see Donald win, once in a while.
I also loved this short because Donald wins for once. The poor thing's
had it tough so it's nice to see him win.
I love it when Donald (I mean Private Duck) is invisible, he is cover
in flowers (showing his outline) but when Sgt. Pete saw him he scrapes
them off and when he's skipping rope while singing "Here we go 'round
the Mulberry Bush."

VIENNA - An eight-run bottom of the sixth propelled Herbert Hoover to its first state softball crown here Thursday afternoon at Jackson Park as the Huskies rallied past Ritchie County for a 12-6 Class AA title game triumph.
"It feels so great today anyway," said victorious Hoover head coach Missy Smith moments after getting drenched with a cooler full of water courtesy of right fielder Kati Angle.
"It was an awesome feat. They came out in the sixth inning, made a statement and left no doubt. We talked all along we're not being happy to just get here."

Petersburg fell in the loser's bracket to Ritchie County, 1-0, Thursday in Vienna.
Ogden Newspapers photo by Jeff Baughan
Petersburg battled back in the loser's bracket, but fell to Ritchie County, 1-0, Thursday in Vienna.
Ritchie County's trek to the championship game was anything but easy.
The Rebels (27-7) came up short in the winner's bracket final early Thursday morning by a score of 7-1 against Herbert Hoover as Huskies pitcher Allison Rager dominated with a three-hitter and recorded 15 strikeouts. Teammates McKenzie Edmonds and Madison Bowles had consecutive two-run singles during a key four-run fifth as the Huskies made a narrow 2-1 advantage stretch to five runs.
Head coach Dave Mossor's Rebels, who were in the state tournament field for a fifth straight campaign, needed to defeat Petersburg in the loser's bracket final to advance to the championship game.
Kenna DeLancey's solo home run in the top of the first was the only score in the game and the Vikings (24-7) failed to get a hit. Moie Ray got the win and tossed the first five frames with five strikeouts. DeLancey finished off the no-hitter by pitching the final two innings for the save. She had four strikeouts.
Rager, who allowed seven hits, three earned runs and had seven strikeouts to register the win, started the championship game by leading off the bottom of the first with a double off the fence in left.
Although teammate Ashleigh Tignor singled with one out, Rager had already made it a 1-0 cushion when she scored on a DeLancey wild pitch.
Needing to defeat Herbert Hoover twice to capture the state crown, the Rebels were just glad to have a lead and that came after the squad from Ellenboro pushed across three runs in the top of the third. Vanessa Tallman reached on an error and Becca Sullivan made it to first on a fielder's choice. DeLancey nearly clobbered an opposite-field three-run bomb, but the ball hit just below the top of the fence in left as Tallman scored to tie it. Ray later followed with a key two-run single to right for the 3-1 lead.
Hoover wasted little time getting the runs back as Rager started a two-out rally with a double. Angle then doubled herself and she scored on an Edmonds run-scoring single.
DeLancey's two-run moon shot to right-center, which went an estimated 240 feet and plated pinch-runner Cali Hayes, gave the Rebel faithful plenty to cheer about with a 5-3 lead heading to the bottom of the fifth.
Ray came into pitch for DeLancey in the fifth, but a trio of Rebel errors led to an unearned run.
Rager needed just 14 pitches to retire Ritchie County in order during the top of the sixth and then everything went awry for the Rebels in the home half of the inning.
Herbert Hoover's No. 8 hitter, Mikayla Craze, produced the first RBI when her single plated Madison Bowles, who started the sixth with an infield hit. With runners at second and third, the Rebels tried to intentionally walk Rager to load the bases, but the junior took a 2-0 offering which came across the plate and belted it into left-center for a two-run double. Angle had an RBI single and with the help of four more errors as well as a bases-loaded free pass to Carte, Hoover was in complete control.
"I didn't think that 5-3 would be enough," Mossor said of his team's short-lived lead. "We ran out of gas, just ran out of gas. We hit a wall and everything went wrong. I don't think we hit the ball well at all.
"One or two players can't do it. I'm extremely pleased. I had no idea we'd make it this far. We faced a great team and the wheels fell off."
DeLancey, who added an RBI single and a stolen base in the top of the seventh, was joined on the all-tournament team by Tallman, Ray, Rager, Angle, Craze, Edmonds, Westside's Cassie Blankenship and the Petersburg duo of Brittani Bible and Cassidy Hedrick.
Herbert Hoover grabbed the sportsmanship award.

Nissan Recalls 747,000 Vehicles In U.S. To Fix Engine Electronics
Nissan Motor Co. says it is recalling about 747,000 light-truck models in the U.S. and 2.2 million worldwide to replace faulty electrical relays for their engine control modules, or ECMs, that can cause engine problems.
The recall includes 2004 to 2006 model-year Nissan Armadas, Titans and Infiniti QX56s, and 2005 to 2006 model-year Nissan Frontiers, Pathfinders and Xterras. The affected vehicles were built between August 2003 and June 2006, the car maker says. The size of the recall reflects an industry trend toward using the same parts across broader ranges of vehicles in an effort to cut cost and boost efficiency.
Nissan says it recently found that on some of the vehicles included in the recall, silicon vapor may form inside the electrical relay that supplies power to the Engine Control Module. Over time, the vapor could cause oxidation on electrical contacts and lead to engien problems including possible stalling at low speed. Nissan says it isn't aware of accidents or injuries related to the problem.
Similar recalls in Canada and Japan bring the total to about 2.2 million vehicles.
The company says it plans to begin notifying owners in early December. Customers with questions should contact the Nissan's consumer affairs department at 1-800-647-7261 for Nissan vehicles, or 1-800-662-6200 for Infiniti vehicles.

Sen. Ted Cruz is embarrassing Texas
I cringe every time newly elected Sen. Ted Cruz opens his mouth. It reminds me of children before they learn preschool social skills, when they are likely to say just about any rude, crude, ignorant, hateful or hurtful remark.
The difference is that the preschoolers don't know any better.
He didn't learn everything he needed to know in kindergarten, so he has no business embarrassing Texas citizens by being a senator.
Watch him carefully, as I'm certain he still picks his nose.

Adolescent depression
For young people, there are three critical pathways to depression. Understanding them opens the door on early diagnosis and intervention.
Clinical Depression is a life-threatening illness. However, unlike other high-profile diseases, there is no coordinated national campaign aimed at early intervention or prevention.
Professor Ian Hickie, Director of the Brain & Mind Research Institute, likes to draw the analogy with the pathways to heart disease. We know that smoking, lack of exercise and high blood fats are risk factors for heart disease, so we attempt to modify those risks in the hope of preventing premature death or heart failure 30 years down the track. We don't wait for a first heart attack to happen before providing effective interventions. He believes that a similar tack needs to be taken with clinical depression. But to do so, it's necessary to identify the earlier forms of depression that may lead to premature death or disability.
Consequently, he has shifted his focus from looking at those middle-aged people with chronic illnesses who frequently present to specialist mood disorder clinics. That's just too late for early intervention or prevention. "Traditionally, we have used the experiences of 30- to 50-year-olds to characterise our diagnostic tools for depression. The area is dominated by this model and there is a great deal of frustration in the way these patients with chronic disorders often respond poorly to psychological or pharmacological therapies," says Hickie.
People come to clinical depression in mid-life by many different roads. There are two major onset times for depression, adolescence and old age, and both have very different causes. The latter affects those over 70 years of age and is caused by changes in the brain due to small vessel vascular disease. Genetics and the environment are far less relevant to late-onset depression. By contrast, teenage depression typically begins after puberty and continues to become more common into the early 30s.
Hickie believes that the years between 11 and 15 are critical for first diagnosing depressive tendencies. That's because the years after puberty see the transition from childhood anxiety and other developmental risks to more adult-like depressive disorders. The brain drives puberty and the hormones that are released feedback on the brain and behaviour. Other critical changes, like those related to the sleep-wake cycle, also happen during this period.
So what are the pathways to depression which are identifiable in childhood or adolescence and what are their complications? Hickie says there are three critical pathways:
Developmental problems
Children with learning difficulties and high impulsivity, such as boys with ADHD, or children who have experienced problems with brain development, are at increased risk of psychiatric disorders, including depression. They lose opportunities at school and in employment, and may even end up in juvenile justice institutions.
Childhood anxiety
This is the most common route to clinical depression. More than 50 percent of depressed teenagers have had childhood anxiety. As anxiety in children is a general phenomenon, that's perhaps not surprising.
The brain becomes over-sensitive to environmental threats and the child becomes fearful and unable to deal with their situation, leading to an anxious type of depression. In teenagers and adults, social anxiety becomes quickly associated with alcohol and substance abuse, particularly in boys. Added to depression, there is the increased risk of premature death from heart disease. "More than 50 percent of depressed teenagers have had childhood anxiety..."
Circadian-based disorders
There are strong links between circadian (i.e. the 24 hour sleep-wake cycle) disturbance and some of the characteristic symptoms of depression, including delayed sleep onset, oversleeping, overeating and daytime fatigue. The childhood precursors to depression based on circadian disorders may overlap with ADHD symptoms or other developmental problems. These children are often natural night-owls and have poor sleep patterns. They can be up all night on the internet and they get little physical activity.
The circadian-disorder pathway to adolescent depression is less well-known, but it is here that Hickie believes successful prevention and early intervention are most likely to be achieved. "Restoration of normal sleep-wake cycles is increasingly thought to be a marker of effectiveness for antidepressant treatments. Failure to restore normal rhythms is highly predictive of ongoing symptoms or early relapse," says Hickie.
Interestingly, drug treatments for major depression have often worked on increasing serotonin, having the effect of disrupting slow-wave and REM sleep which is at odds with normalising circadian rhythms. Instead, new behavioural or drug regimes focus on re-synchronising circadian rhythms. The natural sleep hormone melatonin is already widely used in the community and new antidepressants have been developed based on this principle.
"More than 50% of depressed teenagers have had childhood anxiety..."
Hickie describes the circadian-based systems in humans as an example of 'unintelligent design'. "There are different clocks in the body – they are all running to different times! We rely on the master clock in the brain to get us back into synchrony and feeling energetic and well. The timing of the master clock is set by light exposure and physical activity. If it is working well, it controls all the other clocks in the body so you can feel well and function properly. However, the clocks are clearly dysfunctional in people with major mood disorders.
"We have a whole lot more objective tests, particularly for circadian rhythm, and Sydney University has real strength in these areas. The Woolcock Institute has led the nation in sleep and circadian research. Working with the George Institute, we've discovered that if your child sleeps short, they are more at risk of onset of depression as a teenager, so developing good sleep/wake patterns in childhood is important. When the circadian cycle is off, you are more likely to get fat and suffer from diabetes," says Hickie.
Ironically, ensuring we get good sleep is all about what we do during the day. We have to maximise physical activity and sunlight exposure, and the best time to do that is in the morning. Melatonin is turned off in the morning and the critical timing of the circadian rhythm is then set for the day. So having children in classrooms all day working at computer screens is not helping the problem. "The way the school day is structured is important. We should be running the academic component later in the day. The preoccupation of schools is with academic outcomes, but if you want brighter students, they need to be outside exercising. It's a nonsense idea sitting in a library or classroom all day."
While young children go to bed early and rise early, in normal development there is typically a shift so that teenagers start going to bed later and getting up later. In the US, some schools have adapted to take account of this, starting classes later and allowing students to get a good sleep. Not so in Australia, where the school timetable is more rigid and additional classes are often scheduled before the normal school day begins.
Hickie believes we can potentially prevent the onset of adolescent depression if we treat the causes in context, providing the right type of intervention at the right point in time. "Twin studies have shown us that the risk of depression is 30 to 40 percent genetic, and 50 to 60 percent environmental. In other words, the environment is twice as important as genes in determining whether a child will become depressed. That means we have considerable opportunity to reduce the burden of depression through early intervention and prevention."
This optimism is particularly important in light of the consistent and unexplained trend over the past 50 years of an increase in depression in younger people. Hickie believes that changes in our social structures which have resulted in less supportive families and communities might be part of the problem. "We have to provide new ways to support our young people. We are not going back to the 1950s and relying simply on community, church and youth groups, or women staying at home." He thinks that technology might provide a solution through the Internet. "We have to come up with smarter ways collectively to make sure that happens, especially for those at greatest risk."
Ian Hickie AM is Professor of Psychiatry, Sydney Medical School and Director of the Brain & Mind Research Institute.

cousins night out
my mom called last saturday to invite the "girl cousins" to a special dance performance by their talented 18 year old "girl cousin".
the girls in this family take girl time very seriously. they are few in number. this was a big deal.
ruby girl didn't have to leave until 3:30 but she ran to her room and was completely ready by 10am.
"mom, i know just what to wear."
"okay but it needs to be something kind of nice, like a skirt." i am big on letting them express themselves through their clothing so not wanting to intervene i let her lead the charge.
"mom, i know that and i have the perfect idea."
i cringed looking at one dress of her's in particular. she loves and adores this dress and i was SURE she was going to pick it. it is like bad quinceanera dress from the 80′s. but i don't have the heart to take it from her. she feels so very fancy and special in it. you know what i am talking about. every little girl has one.
but no, she pulled a fast one on me and chose this little get up… she loved the bangles, the bag and the sparkling skirt passed down from her cousin. if you have followed me for any length of time you know i will have to pry these boots from her cold dead grip.
i was proud of her. was it exactly what i would chose? no. but she felt cool and special and as long as it was age appropriate i was fine with it.
we made this vest here / tank / skirt (old from gap) similar here / boots (old from zara) we have our eyes on this one and this one and this one and one more this one/ handbag (old from target) similar here and here
so off she went with her Hello Kitty lipgloss phone and her best friends in the whole world to watch her idol, hailey, dance on stage.
she was mesmerized. she was happy.

It's well established that social media platforms and blogging software have encouraged us to open up about our personal lives in unprecedented ways. But under the deluge of too much information, we're still left with a sort of digital anonymity, a textual unreality. For all of those shared details, audiences aren't privy to the environment that inspired the melodramatic outburst, pithy sideswipe, joyous affirmation, or dark confession.
Two photographers aim to reconnect place with pronouncement. Urbanite's Cara Ober tipped us off to the ongoing project of Nate Larson and Marni Shindelman, who are obsessed with the anonymous, occasionally profound ruminations of Twitter users. "We think of these photos as historical monuments to small, lived moments," Larson told Urbanite. "It also grounds the virtual reality of social networking data streams to the physical world, while examining how the nature of one's physical space may influence online presence."
Interesting ideas, but how were they executed? "Fascinated by the ability of digital media to simultaneously isolate and unite people," writes Ober, "they have used geographical coordinates embedded in Twitter updates to document tweet locations in downtown Chicago, the California desert, up and down the East Coast, and in rural England."
More simply, the process works like this: When Larson or Shindelman come across an evocative tweet sent from someone's smartphone, they note the recorded geolocation and—GPS in hand—hunt down where that 140-character dispatch originated. Once in location, the photographers snap a shot of the surroundings and present the image and text side by side. "The messages run the gamut from sexy to angry to depressing or shocking," writes Ober. The juxtapositions cryptically and powerfully speak for themselves.
These first few pieces are a sneak-peek at Larson and Shindelman's forthcoming "Desertscapes" collection.
The following pieces are from previous collections.

I suggest installing VNC. The VNC server creates "virtual desktops" to
which you connect remotely. This allows a desktop to be "started" at

SANTA ROSA — The only Asian continental cycling team made its debut in the Amgen Tour of California this year.
Champion System Pro Cycling from Hong Kong didn't make headlines as the eight-day, 750-mile tour finished Sunday in downtown Santa Rosa.
But no one in cycling expected the young team with riders from seven countries to do much against some of the world's best cyclists. Instead, Champion System underscores the new wave of cycling as the sport tries to gain a toehold into Asia.
"The key is to introduce new people to the sport," said Kristin Bachochin, the tour's executive director and senior vice president of race owner AEG Sport.
Champion System, a Hong Kong sports apparel company, made a statement by supplying the tour with jerseys. The partnership shows the commitment to cycling by company founder Louis Shih.
For team general manager Ed Beamon, the California debut could have gone off more smoothly.
The Champion System bus broke down last week in Santa Barbara, meaning Beamon had to scramble to find transportation for his riders and staff to San Jose for the individual time trial.
The team arrived in San Jose at midnight, meaning the riders didn't get to rest as much as they might have liked before facing the challenging 19.6-mile time stage in South San Jose.
None of them complained, though. Beamon has been running cycling teams for two decades so he has seen it all.
The New Yorker sounded as if he is enjoying his latest venture more than ever. Champion System is not only a vehicle to help market the apparel company but owners hope it will develop Asian pros that someday could race in the Tour de France.
It is similar to the vision by Bontrager developmental team that is grooming some of America's next stars such as Lawson Craddick, who won the tour's best young rider jersey Sunday.
But America's place in cycling has been well established, if tarnished, by the exploits of Lance Armstrong and many others.
The Chinese riders -- Champion System featured two at the tour -- are "frontiersmen in so many ways," Beamon said.
After all, cycling is a European-centric sport with the three most storied road races the Tour de France, the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a Espana. Collectively they are known as the grand tours.
It has taken years for Americans and Australians to break into the peloton to gain the respect of the great European racers.
Beamon hopes to see Chinese pros making headway within five years.
"It's hard to say how long it is going to take," he said. "We scripted a five-year program to take us from ground zero to the point the team would be competitive in a grand tour."
He said the talent and drive is apparent but there are too many variables in cycling to predict when it might happen.
Champion System wasn't worried about placement in California. This was about gaining experience. The team's top rider for the past week was Chad Beyer, 26, of Tucson. He finished 21st overall. The team's only Asian to complete the tour was Hong Kong's Wu Kin San, who was 100th out of 111 finishers.
"We're using this team as a platform to develop stars who can influence the next generation of cyclists" in Asia, Beamon said.
Champion System has riders from 14 counties, hoping Europeans and North Americans can lay the foundation that the Asian teammates can use as a road map to their own success.
"It will take six to 10 years to put a guy in the podium of the Tour de France but it is going to happen," Beamon predicted.
Leading the way is China's Xu Gang, a four-time national champion, who has the talent if not the international experience.
Beamon thought long and hard about what it would mean to help Asians become world-class racers after spending his career developing Americans.
In the end, the coach had a bigger vision than winning bicycle races. The opportunity presented a chance to touch people beyond sport.
"It doesn't matter if you are American, Chinese or from Antarctica, the opportunity to relate to people on a human level is important," Beamon said.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Deciding which state to build a lucrative
coal conversion plant doesn't hinge on federal incentives, an
executive for Peabody Energy Corp. said.
Kentucky is up against neighboring states Illinois and Indiana
for the right to be the home of the plant, which could cost $3
billion and create 800 permanent full-time jobs if it is built.
Rick Bowen, Peabody's president of generation and Btu
conversion, said in a phone interview Tuesday that while federal
incentives won't play a role in the company's decision, passing
state tax incentives this summer could keep Kentucky in the
"Federal support is not considered in that analysis," Bowen
said. "Are we better to put it in Illinois, Indiana or Kentucky?
That's what the legislators need to focus on - it has nothing to do
with Washington D.C."
Gov. Ernie Fletcher is considering calling the General Assembly
into a special session on July 5 to deal with tax incentives for
energy companies.
Some state lawmakers, however, aren't sure a special session is
necessary. Jennifer Brislin, a spokeswoman for House Speaker Jody
Richards, said she thought federal incentives were needed before
the proposal could advance.
"Everything that we've seen tells us that the siting and
financial decisions can't be made without definitive action from
the federal government," Brislin said.
State Rep. Jim Gooch, D-Providence, meanwhile, sent Fletcher a
letter in favor of a special session dealing with proposed energy
incentives. Gooch, chairman of the House Natural Resources and
Environment Committee, said lawmakers cannot wait until next year.
"Illinois, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and other states are
moving ahead with economic incentives," Gooch said in a statement.
"We have to move now if we want to be leaders in the energy
Bowen said the company would likely not wait past August for
Kentucky lawmakers to approve a tax incentive package.
Still, state incentives would not guarantee the facility - which
could produce up to 200 million cubic feet of synthetic natural gas
per day - gets built at all, he said.
Bowen said the incentives needed for a coal to natural gas plant
are different from what would be needed for one that converts coal
to liquid.
The energy giant wants to conduct a feasibility study on a
possible location, which would take about nine months to complete,
Bowen said. Such a study involves looking at other matters
including a possible site's location and type of nearby coal, Bowen

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Muslim preacher Anjem Choudary has branded Christmas "evil" in a sermon posted on the internet.
The lawyer, who recently praised the Mumbai terror attacks, urged all Muslims to reject traditional Christmas celebrations, claiming that they are forbidden by Allah.
The 41-year-old shocked Christians and even those of his own faith by branding yuletide festivities as "the pathway to hellfire".
Choudary, who is chairman of the Society of Muslim Lawyers, ruled out all celebrations, including having a Christmas tree, decorating the house or eating turkey.
In the sermon posted on an Islamic website, he said: "In the world today many Muslims, especially those residing in western countries, are exposed to the evil celebration Christmas.
"Many take part in the festival celebrations by having Christmas turkey dinners.
"Decorating the house, purchasing Christmas trees or having Christmas turkey meals are completely prohibited by Allah.
"Many still practise this corrupt celebration as a remembrance of the birth of Jesus.
"How can a Muslim possibly approve or participate in such a practice that bases itself on the notion Allah has an offspring?
"The very concept of Christmas contradicts and conflicts with the foundation of Islam.
"Every Muslim has a responsibility to protect his family from the misguidance of Christmas, because its observance will lead to hellfire. Protect your Paradise from being taken away – protect yourself and your family from Christmas."
Choudary is Principal Lecturer at the London School of Shari'ah and a follower of the Islamist militant leader Omar Bakri Mohammed.
Earlier this year, he led a meeting at the heart of the area where the liquid bombers lived, which warned of a British September 11.

by Rita Dove
Analysis: Calling Card
History made Personal
Take it personally. That's what many of Rita Dove's poems do with history. No, they don't get all sensitive and offended—that's not what we mean. We mean that Dove likes to take events and figures in history and show us a personal, human side. We've looked at this in "Rosa," and you can also see it in "Ludwig Van Beethoven's Return to Vienna." Dove wants to give us a perspective that we wouldn't ever get from a history lesson. Oftentimes this perspective is rooted more heavily in imagination than fact. While Dove likes to explore some famous historical figures, she gives the everyday person just as much airtime. The poems in Thomas and Beulah imagine the lives of two African-Americans from the early 1900s to their death in the 1960s. It gives readers a unique, and personal perspective on African-American history during that time. For Dove, history isn't a chronological timeline, it's the fabric of who we are—and that's worth taking personally.

Hello all,
This week we had some joyful moments, some sad times, and a lot in between. Here we go:
We arrived at the island early enough that we were able to survey a little bit. Maria scanned from the Sandstone Point area but didn�t see any eagles. From the back side of the Los Pi�os pair�s nest area. I saw the pair on and off, still hanging out near the nest, but it doesn�t look like they are re-nesting.
One of the Los Pi�os birds
And the other
Wednesday Maria and I went out in the boat, hoping to check on the Fry�s Pair before the rain hit. Maria hiked in to check on the nest, and they were still incubating.

As she started to hike out, the weather rolled in, but don�t worry� we got back to dry land without getting soaked too much

Crazy clouds
We were stuck inside all day due to overnight and morning rains. We got lots of office work done, and this picture of a fox
I hiked out to check on the Hazards nest. A-00 was at the nest the whole time I watched, and boy was the chick big already! What a cutie!

And there�s the chick!
A nice dudleya I passed on the hike
Meanwhile Maria checked on the Los Pi�os nest (still no activity) and on the Carl nest. Much to her horror, she could only see one chick in the nest. Don�t worry though, it all turns out okay

Dr. Sharpe arrived on the island to band the Carl nest. We had originally planned to prep on Saturday and band on Sunday, but with one of the chicks missing we weren�t wasting any time.
I headed out first thing to see it was back in the nest. Maybe it had just been somewhere out of sight for hours? Nope. I watched all morning and there was no sign of a second chick, even when dad flew in with a big juicy fish.
When the rest of the crew arrived, we all hiked out to the nest and started searching for the chick. We weren�t sure what to expect, and when Dr. Sharpe found the chick healthy and uninjured a couple hundred feet uphill from the nest tree we all breathed a huge sigh of relief.
After that, we moved on to banding the chicks, which is always a joy. Every new chick that reaches fledging age feels like a major success.
Measurements suggest that the larger chick, banded as A-78, is a female and our little nest-jumper-outer, now known as A-77, is a male.

After all the excitement of Saturday, Sunday felt very sedate. I went to survey the coast around Willows Canyon, but didn�t see any eagles. Maria spent the day watching the Carl nest to make sure that the chicks were both still okay. They were both in the nest, and both ate hearty meals. Excellent!

This was a tough day for me. I was really excited to check on the Fry�s nest, since it as almost due to hatch, but when I got there it was empty.
It was a foggy day, so it took me a while to be sure. I kept looking through the gloom and hoping it was an illusion. Finally the fog cleared enough that there was no doubt, though, there were no eggs, no adults, just a nest bowl.
To add insult to injury, 2 ravens landed in the nest and poked around for a while, throwing fluff around as they searched for treats. I just hope that the Fry�s pair have better luck next year. We did see both adults perched on the coast a little east of the nest, so at least they are both still all right.

First the nest was visited by one raven
Then two ravens

So that was our tour. Definitely bittersweet, but I think of the scare we had with A-77 at the Carl nest, and I know it could have been worse.
Until next time,

Thanks for a great update, Helen (and crew). Sorry to hear about the Fry's nest. I know that had to be hard to see...especially seeing the ravens there. Hope they have better luck next year.
But what great news at the Carl's nest with the little jumper! So glad it was found safe & uninjured! Hope it stays put until it's time to fledge!
Your pictures of the sunset and the clouds were some of the most beautiful I've ever seen! Must have been awesome to see them in person!
Thanks for all that all of you do. Stay safe!

Thanks for all you do and how much you care ... Glad you went the day early and got the good news on A-77 ... big sigh of relief.
So glad that success offset the empty Fry's nest ... but it still hurts.
I too loved the clouds and glad you got home safely without too much of a soaking. Beautiful pictures all around.

Thank you again for the Update, Helen & crew. I'm also disappointed over the failure of the Fry's nest since I've been a fan of A24 & A46 since they started dating. Great to see that they still hang out together and hope for better luck next year for them.
It was a pleasure to meet the Nest Jumper. He's a very cute guy! There is always the good news.
I'm sorry you have to see these sad (nest) things and that your hopes are down a bit too. You all work so hard and what you do is much appreciated.

Great update -- although I am sorry about A46 and A24, but there is next year. Glad to hear that A77 was found and in good sorts. They both look healthy so I'm really glad you found the little guy. Maybe he wanted to get away from sib

Sad news about the Frys nest but oh so happy to hear about A-77
I wonder what his parents thought when he was suddenly back in the nest after the earth walkers showed up They must have been doing a good job of feeding him on the ground
Awesome clouds...they don't look real, more like a painting and the sunset is beauteous too.
