September 03, 2013
On August 12, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the Justice Department will no longer pursue mandatory minimum sentences for what he described as certain low-level, nonviolent drug offenders. Our experts discussed Holder's announcement and approach as well as a variety of other issues related to mandatory minimum sentencing, including the question of whether or not mandatory minimums are conceptually sound.

Although our region will not see any major effects from Hurricane Isaac, the Tennessee Volunteer Region of the American Red Cross has been hard at work to mobilize volunteers, vehicles and supplies in preparation of the storm. As of today, more than 25 volunteers have deployed to assist with the relief efforts across four states.
The Red Cross has sent nearly 200 volunteers from across the country and 13 from right here in Tennessee, to Memphis to help operate a staging area.American Red Cross partner FedEx has graciously allowed one of their facilities to be used for this function and will support Red Cross staff and volunteers assisting with distribution. The staging area will contain relief supplies such as cleanup and personal hygiene items, cots, blankets, coolers, shovels, rakes, tarps, gloves and masks that will then be transported down to major affected communities all along the Gulf Coast. We need your help
This is a very big and ongoing storm, and the full extent of damage or the entire Red Cross response isnt known as Isaac continues its march. What we do know is that the Red Cross response to Isaac is already large and that it will go on for a long time.Our current best estimate is that Red Cross relief services for Isaac could cost as much as tens of millions of dollars. A year ago, the Red Cross spent $18 million to provide shelter, food, comfort and hope to people affected by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee.
We havent raised anywhere near the millions of dollars we will need for the Isaac response. But the public has always come through for us when Americans need help.After a difficult summer of helping people affected by wildfires, power outages and floods, Red Cross resources are stretched thin. We need your help now.
To donate, go to http://www.redcross.org/charitable-donations. You may also send a text message to REDCROSS to 90999; call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or print a donation form that can be mailed to the Red Cross. There are other ways to donate. Visit www.redcross.org for more information.

This is an amazing blog, that really sheds light on what kids are eating at school. Mrs. Q, the author of the blog, spent a year eating what the kids at school were being served and documented every grueling meal that was served. Her goal was to shed awareness on the food choices that are being made for children on the free or reduced lunch programs in schools.
If you want to start at the beginning (I did) then click this link to go to the posts from last January. Then choose newer posts to navigate forward. If you choose to start from today and work your way back, it works like a normal blog, just scroll down to the bottom to navigate back to older posts. You'll also find the monthly archive on the right side of the page if you want to navigate that way.
After reading this blog, I am more grateful than ever that my mom made the decision to send me to school with a brown bag lunch even if it was un-cool at the time among my peers.
What are the schools around you serving for lunch? Do the kids in your neighborhood have recess? What habits are kids learning from eating these meals? Will it stick with them for the rest of their lives? These are all things I'm thinking about after checking out this site.

Waited 22 Years for This! - Harrison, NY
I had my first child at 16. She was 9lbs 12oz and completely stretched out my abdomen and I was left with huge stretchmarks and a lot of loose skin. I've hated my stomach ever since. I always felt self-conscious undressed or sitting down. After I had my last child 3 years ago at 36 I set a goal for myself that I would treat myself to a tummy tuck before my 40th birthday.

I was wondering why you wanted to get the tummy tuck if you haven't had children yet. If you plan to have kids I suggest you just do lipo and not the tummy tuck because you risk messing up the effects of the tummy tuck with pregnancy. READ COMMENT

Taschen publishes Mid-Century Ads: Advertising from the Mad Men Era, a 2 volume set of advertising from the 50's and 60's. The set comes as 2 hardback books in a slipcase, published in a multilingual edition with English, German and French translations.
With the third series of Mad Men starting on Sky One, the release captures the renaissance spirit of mid-century advertising and celebrates the era of advertising that saw great leaps in process and thinking. This set is a collection of iconic adverts from two decades and offers "the best of American print advertising in the age of the "Big Idea." With the backdrop of capitalist Americana and the domestic revolution in consumer goods, the adverts give an insight to the spirit of the time. All the images have been digitally re-mastered to be "bursting with fresh, crisp colors".
The sets are edited by cultural anthropologist and graphic design historian Jim Heimann. Heimann is Executive Editor for TASCHEN America, and has also penned several books on design, pop culture, architecture and the history of the West Coast, USA. He has an "unrivaled private collection of ephemera" which has often appeared in museum exhibitions and books globally.
The books are co-authored by Steven Heller, co-chair of the School of Visual Arts MFA Designer as Author Program. Heller spent 33 years as an art director for The New York Times, and is the author of the "Visuals" column for The New York Times Book Review. He has also written 120 books on graphic design and illustration.
Benedikt Taschen, opened a comic book shop in his native Cologne at the age of 18 in 1980, to sell and trade from his collection of comic books. The shop began publishing catalogs promoting his wares, and in 1984 he purchased 40,000 remainder copies of a René Magritte book with text only in English, and re-sold them less than their original price to great success, signifying a bold and daring move. Taschen began reprinting books under his own name for budget prices and in 1985 published his first original art book, Picasso.
Now, TASCHEN has a worldwide reputation for affordable publications in art and design, now encompassing architecture, design, photography, lifestyle, and classics.
Mid-Century Ads: Advertising from the Mad Men Era, 720 pages, $59.99

McCain: Attempt to defund Obamacare was 'fool's errand'
In an interview with Brian Williams, Sen. John McCain said lawmakers have eroded the confidence of the American people and "damaged our credibility very badly." And although many of the members of the House elected in 2010 had promised to repeal or defund Obamacare, McCain said trying to do it in this way during the government shutdown -- was "a fool's errand." The pain inflicted on the American people "was totally unnecessary and we cannot do this again," he said.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Wednesday that the budget standoff in Washington and partisan bickering have eroded the confidence of the American people and damaged the credibility of the U.S. Congress.
In an interview with NBC News' Brian Williams, McCain said some House members' determination to repeal or defund President Barack Obamas Affordable Care Act during a government shutdown was a fools errand.
"We inflicted pain on the American people that was totally unnecessary. We cannot do this again," McCain said. "We, Republicans, have a hole that we've got to come out of and obviously we're going to have to do a lot of work."
Why isnt FIXED news having an interview with McCain?

Heres How Much The Government Shutdown Cost The Economy
$24 billion.
Thats according to an estimate from Standard & Poors. The financial services company said the shutdown, which ended with a deal late Wednesday night after 16 days, took $24 billion out of the U.S. economy, and reduced projected fourth-quarter GDP growth from 3 percent to 2.4 percent.
Heres a breakdown of some of the economic cost by our calculations:
About $3.1 billion in lost government services, according to the research firm IHS
$152 million per day in lost travel spending, according to the U.S. Travel Association
$76 million per day lost because of National Parks being shut down, according to the National Park Service
$217 million per day in lost federal and contractor wages in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area alone
Hundreds of thousands of federal workers bore the economic brunt of the shutdown. But small businesses also suffered from frozen government contracts and stalled business loans. Tourism suffered from closed national parks, and military families had to cope without childcare and other services. Federal workers will receive back-pay under the deal, but contractors will probably not get their lost wages. The stall in cash-flow could affect spending during the holiday shopping season.
Thanks! Ted Crux and his tea bagger Limbaugh nut juice guzzlers.....

Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell [R] Wins Sweet Deal In $2.9 Billion Budget Bill Earmark
The Huffington Post | By Ashley Alman Posted: 10/16/2013 8:52 pm EDT | Updated: 10/17/2013 12:13 pm EDT
The GOPers-Teapots are tearing Mitch a new "orifice".
They are advocating that Kentuckians vote for Mitch's primary challenger. They are also advocating that if Mitch wins the primary that GOP KY-ians should stay home.
The GOPers are calling Mitch out for his so-call uttering on government spending while voting for a deal that increases federal spending in Kentucky Read More... through fast-tracked, backroom-deal legislative maneuvering.
They have a point.
Mitch and his cohorts have stalled job and infrastructure bills that would help the entire nation, but yet he had no problem cutting a sweet-heart deal for his state on the grounds that it would keep jobs and improve infrastructure in KY. This was a deal that went against the so-called conservative-Tea party principles.
It looks like the fallout from this debacle will continue. It is exposing the hypocrites in the GOP in a manner that all low-info voters can observe

Dem uses steak, caviar to shame members on food stamps
Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) on Thursday used food props on the House floor to portray members of Congress as steak-eating, vodka-swilling socialites in a bid to get Congress to reject a GOP bill cutting $40 billion in food stamps.
On the House floor, Speier said members of Congress typically get rich food allowances when they travel overseas and therefore get to indulge. But she said that stands in contrast to the policy Republicans want to force on lower-income people by passing new limits on food stamps.
"Some of these same members travel to foreign countries under the guise of official business. They dine at lavish restaurants, eating steak, vodka and even caviar," she said as she held up each food item as she spoke.
"They receive money to do this. That's right, they don't pay out of pocket for these meals."
"They receive money to do this. That's right, they don't pay out of pocket for these meals."
Speier said one member was recently given $127.41 a day for a trip to Argentina. "He probably had a fair amount of steak," she said.
Another was given $3,588 as a food and lodging allowing during a six-day trip to Russia. That was an apparent reference to Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who reportedly received this allowance.
Speier also noted that 20 members of Congress went to Ireland this year and got a $166 per-day allowance for food. "These members didn't pay a dime," she said.

Art of Communication: NVCsantacruz.org
Tuesday, May 7, 2013 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (PDT)
Course Description:
Healthy relationships are one of the cornerstones of a peaceful life, and the foundation of these relationships lies in clear, effective, and compassionate communication. The good news is that these skills can be learned. By identifying what we are perceiving, feeling, and wanting, we can express ourselves with honesty and clarity, while simultaneously respecting others' needs and feelings.
This 6 week course will focus on interpersonal communication within different contexts (family, friends, and co-workers) and also on the internal dialogues we might have with ourselves. The weekly classes will help you develop listening skills, learn to make clear and specific requests, and express feelings in a way that won't imply judgment, criticism, blame, or punishment. Those who practice NVC have found greater authenticity in their communication, increased understanding, deepening connection, and resolution to conflicts. NVC trainer Christine King will facilitate this highly interactive course designed to support you in having more peaceful harmonious relationships with yourself and others.
Course Sliding Scale:
$120-240 per person
Nonviolent Communication is a 501 c3 non-profit. We depend on a fee for service model to support and sustain the mission of our organization.

Hatch / trunk lock delete plug how-to
I hate the look of the stock hatch/trunk seal, especially on the hatches. It looks like an inner tube plus it really stands out on my car. So I came up with a cheap and easy way to make a delete plug.
First you'll need a sedan style seal with the tabs on it, not the hatchback all rubber puckered out style. Maybe they're year specific, but I found it on a sedan.
I went to Lowe's and got a 1-3/8 metal plug, and trimmed the clips down.
Cut, rip, and tear all of the rubber off the sedan seal until all you have left is the plastic ring, then fold the metal clips over it. (I have two black rings one has broken tabs.)
Now I just need to paint it, also Im going to put a little RTV around it so water wont get in. Not shaved, but better... (yeah, I got a quote today for painting the bumper, but I need a job first.)
Im working on a second one with a key hole that I'm gonna try; I've already deleted my door key holes. Having one key hole would make it easier to get in if the battery dies.
Focus Central used to make aluminum ones with a keyhole, neat idea!
Very nice, I hate the puckered look anyway!
Nice, looks super easy too!
Cfm makes a billet key plug that looks better than the oem bubble. Cool mod.
It's painted now and I drilled a keyhole in it. I already have the doors w/o keyholes and I wanted to leave one incase the battery dies, Lol.

/// Apple's Fall Bounty: A Smaller iPad, a 13-Inch MacBook Pro and iTunes 11
Apple says it has a little more to show us , and soon we'll find out just what it is. Later today, at an invitation-only event at the California Theater in San Jose, the company is expected to unveil a number of new products — hardware and software both. The main attraction of the event: The eagerly anticipated smaller version of Apple's iPad. This so-called "iPad Mini" is expected to feature a 7.85-inch display, which will make the device about 40 percent larger than its 7-inch rivals Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle Fire HD. Some reports claim the so-called iPad Mini's resolution will be lower than that of the current iPad's Retina display. Certainly possible, particularly if Apple is looking to keep its price low. That said, it's worth noting that the company could fairly easily cut 326 ppi 2048

Flags is a 1985 album by the duo Moraz and Bruford. Unlike their prior effort Music for Piano and Drums, which featured only an acoustic drum kit and grand piano, this recording expanded their musical palette by including a Kurzweil 250 synthesizer and electronic percussion…
Bill Bruford is a retired English drummer, percussionist, songwriter, producer, and record label owner who first gained prominence as the original drummer of the rock band Yes, from 1968 to 1972. After his departure from Yes, Bruford spent the rest of the 1970s playing in King Crimson, touring with Genesis and U.K., and forming his own group, Bruford.
A live N.Y.C. radio broadcast by Bill Bruford and his band in July 1979, The Bruford Tapes features material from his Feels Good to Me and One of a Kind albums. Although the mix is shaky, the playing is not. Bruford rules the roost with his inimitable "pong" rim-shot sound and droll stage patter, and Dave Stewart's keyboards especially benefit from a heavier, slightly overdriven stage sound…
While the music made by Bill Bruford's earlier Earthworks band was consistently more interesting, his current lineup continues to make great strides given its more traditional stance (post-bop acoustic piano/saxophone quartet verses ultra-modern Euro-jazz fusion). On the live Footloose and Fancy Free, the group exceeds its own studio performances with room to spare. The lovely ballad "Come to Dust" is a fine showcase for pianist Steve Hamilton, and Bruford's punchy drumming moves a complex "Triplicity." Even non-Earthworks tunes from Bruford's late-'90s collaborations with Tony Levin ("Original Sin") and Ralph Towner ("If Summer Had Its Ghosts") get inspiring interpretations as well, thanks to the well-seasoned playing of both tenor/alto saxophonist Patrick Calahar and Hamilton.
This is intelligent fusion – intricately crafted, high energy, and technically impressive. Bill Bruford has distinguished himself from the majority of rock musicians with a consistent drive to experiment and challenge himself artistically. He composes innovative tunes with subtle rhythmic twists, often in odd meters, and his drumming is always musical and very precise. This is the third studio release of the fusion group that he assembled in 1977. Gradually Going Tornado attempted to further streamline the group's approach and introduced the vocal work of the brilliant electric bassist Jeff Berlin (heavily influenced by Jack Bruce and Jaco Pastorius).
Bill Bruford's career is like his drumming sound inimitable. Known for his ringing metal snare drum, crisp cymbal work, and knack for complex time signatures, a young Bruford came to prominence in the late '60s with Yes. The drummer completed his British art rock trilogy by briefly joining Genesis in the 1970s and spending a quarter-century with King Crimson through the late '90s. In between King Crimson dates, Bruford led a dazzling self-titled jazz fusion solo band from 1978 to 1980.
The follow-up to Music for Piano and Drums is more along the lines of what fans might have expected the first time around. Flags features Moraz's augmenting his piano work with his Kurzweil synthesizer; a fuller production with overdubbing, and more structure. Still, to contrast purely anthemic tracks like the opening "Temples of Joy," Bruford and Moraz offer moments of pure improvisations, including the driving "Split Seconds" and "Infra Dig," which is based around a challenging theme but ultimately evolves into a more free-flowing exploration, with Bruford's light cymbal work and strategically placed shots providing interesting counterpoint to Moraz's more flowing lines. Again the chemistry between the two is clearly evident.
Drummer Bill Bruford and Dutch pianist and keyboardist Michiel Borstlap have performed together as duos on a very occasional basis during the past few years. The music on In Two Minds features the two old friends at four live concerts from 2006-2007 that were performed in England and Norway. All of the crowd noise and applause has been edited out, so it sounds like a studio set. However very little editing and no overdubbing or mixing took place, so this is an accurate reproduction of the live performances. Borstlap and Bruford perform 11 free improvisations plus Miles Davis' "All Blues." While the playing is spontaneous, it is often melodic with a logical development and plenty of variety. A few of the selections have such strong structures that they almost sound like a standard. Some of the other pieces mostly set moods, emphasize color or have one basic idea or plot. The results are consistently intriguing and rewarding.

text: I agree that Moose is better suited to defend opposing 5s but that again pulls Dre away from the basket and negates his off the ball blocking ability and rebounding. Something the Celts did to us when Moose and dre switched and Dre guarded KG away from the hoop More teams we face seem to be trying to get Dre onto their stretch 4 to pull him away and allow their penetration. Moose is a good hands defender but his foot speed is on par with his verticle. Its like watching Laimbeer guard Larry Bird/ train wreck. You just know its gonna end poorly for us. I love Moose but I honestly think he will be a hinderence to the team moving forward due to his inability to guard the 4s. You cant coach foot speed right Roscoe? As Ive stated in numerous threads, this season went from finding out if Dre will be any good to, find out who we can use to compliment Dre moving past this year. I am all for losing Stuck and trying out our rooks for the remainder of the season to see if either will be any use next year. Or if we will need to get more 2s and 3s

German investment funds have swooped to buy over £500m of properties in the Square Mile. In the worst market for commercial property for at least 15 years, German institutions have used the euro's strength and a dearth of competition to place under offer a string of buildings.
They include 88 Wood Street, the glass-fronted office designed by Richard Rogers, which ING is set to sell to German fund SEB for £180m. SEB pounced after a deal on the building with a US buyer collapsed and got £10m knocked off the asking price. In addition, UBS Asset Management is selling Milton Gate to German fund Signa for £150m, while Hammerson is selling Moor House in the City to Deka for £230m.
The Germans are taking advantage of a shift that in 18 months has seen the yield on property move from 4.25 per cent to over 6 per cent. This reflects a huge fall in price, with rents largely holding up.
James Beckham, City partner at property consultancy King Sturge, said: 'Loan-to-value ratios are down, which means buyers require more equity. Most investors can't compete in this market. It's leaving the way open for German institutions who like the fact that there is very little competition.'

When the Vatican recently announced its new candidates for sainthood, there was a remarkable name on its list: Pope Paul VI.
On December 20, 2012, Pope Benedict declared Paul a Christian of heroic virtue, granting him the title, Venerable. Paul VI is now one approved miracle away from beatification, and a second from formal canonization.
The response has been both surprise and confusion: many people didnt even know Paul VI was up for sainthood, and to the extent they did, expressed very uneven feelings about him.
Assailed by both progressives and traditionalists alike, and having reigned during a tumultuous era, Paul VI remains, in death, almost as controversial as he was in life.
In light of all that, the now-Venerable Paul VI deserves a much-needed second look; Catholics need to discern what really drove him, and why the Vatican has advanced his cause.
In looking for answers beyond the usual divides"and hoping to explore Paul on a deeper level"I spoke with Father John Langlois, the Vicar Provincial for the Dominican Province of St Joseph in New York. Born the same year Paul VI became pope, and holding degrees in theology and history, Langlois is in an excellent position to asses his pontificate, since, as Father mentioned, I grew up with Paul"he was the first pope I knew; and as a Catholic and future priest, I followed his pontificate closely, amidst all the turmoil going on.
Father Langlois welcomed the Vaticans decision, and explained why Pope Paul is so worthy of the honor: He was a missionary, a reformer, an upholder of tradition, and on a personal level, someone who had a profound understanding of the priesthood, and the theology of the Cross.
Consider the name he chose after being elected pope"Paul.
That was of great significance, said Langlois, because, like St. Paul, the new pope saw himself preaching the Gospel to the whole world.
Pope Paul did more travelling than any of his predecessors"visiting six continents"setting the stage for the international journeys of Blessed John Paul II, and Pope Benedict.
Paul was determined to spread the Gospel to a global audience: the documents of his pontificate are suffused with evangelical fervor, and his words remain as inspiring as ever. We wish to confirm once more, he proclaimed in Evangelii Nuntiandi , that the task of evangelizing all peoples constitutes the essential mission of the Church. He continued:
It is a task and mission which the vast and profound changes of present-day society make all the more urgent. Evangelizing is in fact the grace and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She exists in order to evangelize, that is to say in order to preach and teach, to be the channel of the gift of grace, to reconcile sinners with God . . . . Anyone who rereads in the New Testament the origins of the Church, follows her history step by step and watches her live and act, sees that she is linked to evangelization in her most intimate being.
What is especially impressive about Evangelii Nuntiandi , said Father Langlois, is how it applies the call for evangelization to the Church itself. Paul wrote:
The Church is an evangelizer, but she begins by being evangelized herself . . . . She is the People of God immersed in the world, and often tempted by idols and always needs to hear the mighty works of God which converted her to the Lord; she always needs to be called together afresh by Him and reunited . . . . this means that she has a constant need of being evangelized, if she wishes to retain freshness, vigor and strength in order to proclaim the Gospel.
Pope Pauls insight about the Churchs need for self-evangelization, highlights his next strength: a commitment to reform. When John XXIII died in 1963, Pope Paul could have tried to slow Vatican II, or even halted it altogether. But wisely"and providentially, Father Langlois believes"Paul gave his full backing to Blessed Johns Council, and shepherded all its decrees and documents to their conclusion. For doing so, he was criticized by both the Left and Right, the former claiming he didnt go nearly as far as he should, the latter saying he was much too progressive. Neither of the critics are correct says Father Langlois. If you actually examine the documents carefully, there is nothing in them that sustains either reactionary thinking, or a revolutionary agenda. As Pope Benedict has declared, there is certainly a call to reform, but reform within a hermeneutic of continuity.
In fact, Dignitatis Humanae "one of the Councils most famous documents, on religious liberty"made that clear, in its opening paragraph, when it described how the Council Fathers , in accord with truth, searched the sacred tradition and teaching of the Church, from which it draws forth new things that are always in harmony with the old . (emphasis added)
Once the Council ended, Paul VI began implementing its reforms with care and dedication. He reorganized the Vatican curia and bureaucracy, set up several important post-Conciliar commissions, expanded collegiality with synods of bishops, increased the role of the laity, reached out to the larger Christian community, solidified the Churchs relationship with the Jewish community, made impassioned appeals for peace and on behalf of the poor, and undertook major reforms of the liturgy.
The latter was undoubtedly his biggest challenge. Paul VIs introduction of the Novus Ordo caused a considerable stir, and still does within some circles today. But whether one prefers the Old or the New Mass, Father Langlois, as a church historian, made it a point to underscore that liturgical reform"including major liturgical reform"has always been part of Catholic tradition. The traditional Latin Mass is quite different than the Mass as it was celebrated in the primitive Church, and, yes, so too is the Novus Ordo (though only in form, not content). Paul VI, acting as the Vicar of Christ, wanted to bring the sacred liturgy closer to the faithful, and he sincerely believed his liturgical reforms would accomplish that.
That said, there can be no doubt that certain Catholics, after the Council and Novus Ordo , took liberties which were never authorized, and at times made a mockery of Catholic teaching. These scandals grieved Paul VI deeply"he reportedly spoke about the smoke of Satan having entered the Church"as did the wide-scale collapse of religious life, which Father Langlois believes had far more to do with the tremendous upheavals and rebellions occurring within the wider culture, rather than any papal or hierarchical decisions.
Yet, it was precisely at that point, when the Church seemed lost in a maelstrom, when Paul VIs true character and spirituality came to the fore. Against a world (and even Church) largely seduced by the errors of the sexual revolution, Paul published Humanae Vitae, the most prophetic papal document of modern times, and certainly one of the bravest. He upheld and championed priestly celibacy; re-affirmed and explained the importance of an all-male priesthood, while advancing the true dignity of woman in all other ways; issued a clear declaration on sexual ethics, and a decree against abortion and on behalf of life. Both John Paul II and Benedict built upon his teachings, and extended them to the modern world.
Pope Paul VI has been called a weak and indecisive pope, but no one who lacked true courage could have issued the powerful statements he did, or done so under the circumstances he faced. And far from being a broken or dejected man at the end of his life"as some critics maintain, the better to make their case against him seem plausible"Paul VI was carried and sustained by something much stronger than anything in this world, his faith. He knew, as long as he retained that, nothing in this life could cause permanent damage, no matter how bad any situation became. His confessor, Father Paulo Dezza, revealed the pontiffs life-long secret. Venerable Paul, Dezza once remarked, was a man of great joy.
It is a lesson all Christians should take to heart, as we, too, look forward to that day, in hopeful and joyful anticipation, of receiving Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

TRANSPORTATION EQUITY ACT: A LEGACY FOR USERS--Continued
Mr. KOHL. Mr. President I would like to explain my vote today against this important legislation, the highway reauthorization bill. I want to explain that my vote was against the unfair treatment of my State, and not a 5-year reauthorization bill. I support consistent and adequate funding of our transportation infrastructure) but I do not support a bill that cuts Wisconsin's rate of return unfairly.
A safe and efficient transportation system is critically important to my State. In Wisconsin, the changing seasons require constant maintenance of our roads and bridges. In addition, we have an aging fleet of buses that are in dire need of replacement. A five-year reauthorization is necessary for sustained transportation planning; it will provide jobs, will ensure safer travel on our highways and roads, and will provide transit funding for millions of commuters. I have heard from the people of Wisconsin, and I know they support a 5-year authorization bill.
I share their sentiments on the need for an authorization bill. I also share their sentiments on the bill the Senate passed today. I have spoken to engineers, bus drivers, road builders and businesses throughout my state and the message is the same--don't support legislation that would drop Wisconsin's rate of return. My support for this legislation would undermine Wisconsin taxpayers who deserve better than 92 cents on the dollar. A vote in favor of this legislation would set a dangerous precedent for treating Wisconsin unfairly.
I recognize the arguments of my colleagues that the overall funding for Wisconsin will increase and I support the addition of $11.2 billion that the substitute amendment contains. The substitute amendment provides Wisconsin with an additional $147 million in highway funding over the five year life of the bill. These dollars are absolutely necessary in the State, and I urge the conferees to maintain the Senate level of funding.
What the substitute amendment does not do, however, is greatly change my State's rate of return. Over the life of the bill, Wisconsin will still drop from an average of $1.02 to an average of 96 cents on every dollar the taxpayers send to Washington. The so-called equity bonus program included in the bill is far from equitable. It includes exemptions based on random criteria; it is a formula stitched together to appease the highest number of Senators possible, not to give each State its fair rate of return.
I remain hopeful that Congress will pass a bill much different than the one the Senate votes on today. I hope that my colleagues will, in conference, repair the damage that is done to Wisconsin under the Senate bill. I hope the final bill gives Wisconsin its fair share. Given the great need for a 5 year authorization bill, I would like to support this legislation. Given its treatment of Wisconsin, I cannot. I hope that will be different when the Senate considers a final bill.

Trip to Belize, Tasting the Food of the Gods
A couple of weeks ago we returned from an inspiring trip to Belize. In tropical paradise, Cotton Tree Lodge and Taza Chocolate combined forces to host an educational chocolate week highlighting local cacao production.
There we attended Maya Mountain Cacao's annual farmers meeting. It's easy to forget that a delicious chocolate bar humbly begins from a seed on a tree. It is the farmers of these trees that are perhaps the original artisans of chocolate craft, working with as much passion as we are in our own chocolate factory here in Brooklyn.
We met Eladio Pop, a cocoa farmer in Toledo, who shared his care and respect for the land that cultivates the "food of the gods". We also saw the harmonious relationship between Maya Mountain Cacao and the farmers. We tasted various beans with their Fermentation Manager, Samuel, who taught us that Belizean cacao has distinct and broad flavor profiles, ranging from coffee to tobacco to tropical fruits. Only two years old, Maya Mountain Cacao's work towards a sustainable cocoa community is impressive.
We left Belize with greater respect for all the work that goes into each burlap sack of beans we receive. Discover our Porter, Espresso or Yacón chocolate bars online and taste the tropical, fruity flavors of Belize cacao.

What are croup symptoms?
Viral croup can have two distinct presentations, both of which are a consequence of swelling of the vocal cords resulting in a narrowing of the airway. The more common variety has symptoms of fever (100 F-103 F), mild hoarseness, and sore throat two to three days after virus exposure. Quick to follow is the characteristic dry "barking seal" cough that may be associated with a harsh, raspy sound during inspiration. (This sound, called "stridor," has been noted to resemble the breathing of the Star Wars character Darth Vader.) The symptoms commonly last for four to seven days.
The alternative and less frequent presentation is called "acute spasmodic croup." These children will appear totally well when put to bed at night only to awaken their parents in the middle of the night with the above described barky cough and stridor. Fever and sore throat are not noted in these children, and the symptoms commonly resolve within eight to 10 hours from onset, and the child appears totally well until this same acute onset recurs the following night. This on/off pattern may occur over three to four nights in a row and then morph in to symptoms more characteristic of the common cold -- mucus-like nasal discharge and a "wet" cough for several days.
These two different presentations are the result of the particular virus that has infected the child. Manifestations of croup vary from mild (common) to life-threatening (rare). The severity of symptoms is proportional to the amount of relative narrowing of the airway. The more severe the vocal cord narrowing the more effort is required to inhale. A severely sick child will refuse to lie down, demanding to remain in an upright position. They will show retractions of the skin above the collarbone and between the ribs with inspiration and may develop facial cyanosis (bluish skin discoloration). Apparent exhaustion and decreased respiratory effort are an indication of impending respiratory failure and are cause for immediate paramedic evaluation and transport to the emergency department of the closest hospital.
In general, the duration of symptoms of croup is five to seven days. More severe croup may resolve in 14 days.

Hadron Collider benefits from energy savings using Eaton-Williams cooling solution
One of the key data centres supporting the Large Hadron Collider is using Eaton-Williams ServerCool to achieve significant energy savings and channel the heat loads.
CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) relies on many strategically placed data centres across the world to process the vast amounts of data generated by the world's largest experiment.
With heat loads and energy costs a major concern, ServerCool in close collaboration with Serviware and IBM in France designed an energy efficient critical cooling solution for France's National Institute of Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics (IN2P3/CNRS) in Lyon, one of the 11 Tier 1 data centres (CC-IN2P3).
The project at the CC-IN2P3 data centre was driven by the use of iDataplex cabinets, selected for their ability to deliver greater processing capabilities. The initial heat load generated by five cabinets was 100Kw which would increase ultimately to 160Kw. ServerCool recommended a strategy using ServerCool CDUs (cooling distribution units) on a common secondary manifold to provide N+N redundancy to the iDataplex systems and support SNMP connectivity.
The CDUs were installed as part of a high density computing upgrade within an existing data centre. Air conditioning alone would not be able to manage such a highly concentrated heat load. The use of iDataplex and CDUs are a very effective and energy efficient upgrade solution, consuming 40% less power per kilowatt than the incumbent air handling systems.
"Power usage and efficiency were a major concern. With the ability to achieve significant energy savings over conventional server and data rack cooling systems, ServerCool offered a cooling solution that could meet IN2P3/CNRS exacting requirements," says Mark Luxford, General Manager, ServerCool.
The LHC is one of the biggest scientific experiments ever and it is estimated that it will produce approximately 15 million gigabytes of data annually. To cope with the amount of material generated ERN is collaborating with over 33 countries to operate a distributed computing and data storage infrastructure: the LHC Computing Grid (LCG) enabling scientists across the world to access and analyse data.
After initial processing, the LHC is distributed to 11 large Tier 1 computer centres strategically sited across the world. These data centres in turn make the LHC data available to over 120 'Tier-2' centres enabling scientists to access LHC material from their home country, using local computer clusters or even individual PCs.

to wonder why boys can't run the race for life?(152 Posts)
Trying to register, my 11year old nephew fancied it, but no space on the online form for anything other than ms, miss, Mrs, Dr, rev or prof in the title space. Is it women only?
I suspect charities do women only because it raises more money. That is their aim. If making it women only raises more money, then I support this.
We do a midnight (well, it finishes about midnight) walk for the local hospice which is only open to women to enter. And I've no idea why that's the case. It's not a run so there's no argument that it could be intimidating, males are allowed to enrol to volunteer and marshal the event, but they can't walk it and get sponsors.
Why post on a four year old thread? If you want to have the discussion it might be worth starting your own - otherwise you get loads of replies followed by 'shit - zombie thread' etc and people getting annoyed they have wasted time reading such an old thread
As a man who also has lost family to cancer and still have family with cancer, I find statements like "f men want one, why don't they set one up." irrespective of what cancer charities/fundraising events are out there, I think its awful that any event can be gender specific when it is to raise money for a disease that does not pick a gender whether male or female related, Race For Life is a great charity but restricted by its won rules, males and females both support this charity financially and as such I believe they should all be allowed to run together, I am not a fit person would be honoured to run this race (even though I would probably not be able to finish in present fitness state) I have many friends who would be willing to sponsor me to race. probably more so knowing how much harder it would be for me. any charity that restricts itself in this way in my opinion is limiting its chance to raise funds and help the people it was designed to help. rant over.
Interestonly - if it was your wife running it in memory of her dead mother, I bet it would be a packet. Otherwise, you feel free to sponsor runners in mixed events - there are plenty of them. The money ends up in the same coffers. I'd rather you sponsored where you felt comfortable doing so, and the millions of women who are unlikely to take part in any other sporting event in their lives, felt comfortable enough to come out for RFL. Fortunately, their sponsors will more than make up for your pettiness.
I know soooooooo many women who only take part because it's non-threatening and actively encouraging for women. It allows the unfit, the unwell, and those who have literally just off the couch to exercise in public without being subject to criticism. it isn't competitive at all - it's a fundraiser - that's not to say that people don't compete, but anyone who has actually tried to take part knows that sheer volume means you can barely manage a jog for most of the way.
I know no men at all that would be seen taking part, which is probably why the male equivalent flunked big time. That isn't to say that there isn't a need for men who are equally unfit, fat, or unsporty to be allowed to exercise in public without fear of being pointed at and laughed at, but that this is not the event to force the issue.
If RFL opened to men, the numbers of women taking part would plummet. It would lose the 'safe' aura, there would be a slack handful of blokes to replace the women, and the events would be cancelled, leaving a huge hole in the cancer research coffers.
In an ideal world, women wouldn't feel they needed a safe space, of course. But it's fairly stupid to deny that's the way many women do feel...
Fwiw, I've done a few, in solidarity with female friends weighing in at around 24 stone. There is no way at all they would have taken part in any other event. No way. I wear my 'other mother's' name on my shirt when I run RFL. She died ten years ago of bowel cancer.
If I run for me, I choose other events. (I ran the London Marathon and GNR for cancer research). There are plenty of them. So many that you can pretty much pick and choose something that fits your needs - and still raise money for CR.
There are places for female-only participation, and this one 'run/walk' is one of them. And I speak as someone who would generally fight to the death for non-gendered opportunity.
You want to find an event that your DH can join in? Why not try EVERY OTHER BLOODY event out there then, FFS? Instead of whining about your poor downtrodden man heartless banned by the big bad women?

Can't believe all the whingers on here. If you don't want to do it, don't. Is that difficult? Put your energy into something positive instead.
But for all the women who are doing it, good for you!
I'll be shuffling along at the back, wearing pink, raising money in memory of a friend who died on Mother's Day, leaving three little children. Hope nobody has a problem with that.
Plenty of my sponsors are men, none of them has an issue with the women-only aspect of the race.
Message deleted by Mumsnet for breaking our Talk Guidelines. Replies may also be deleted.
....and the whinging will go on until the Guys have their bite of the apple and feel they're part of something big, wonderful and giving. Personally I'd like to see two races, the Men's after the Women's-Then they can cheer each other on and just think of all that lovely extra cash!!
6 pages??
If the moaners on this thread put half the energy they've spent whinging on here about discrimination into supporting cancer research there might not be a need for RFL...
fromparis it's not run by breast cancer UK.
It's run by and for Cancer Research. All forms of cancer. Incuding those that affect men and women or even only men. See posts on this thread.
Fuck me. We'll be saying it's sexist to have men's and women's toilets next.
People bitching about R4L being sexist really need to refocus their energy on real, honest to God sexism. You know, the stuff where men and women are genuinely worse off through having breasts or a penis, not just a bit 'put out'
I can't take part in Movember. So the fuck what???
I expect that the 12 year cut off for boys is more about childcare than that they become 'intimidating'. A 13 yr old can usually be left for 1/2 hour to watch the race fairly saftely, an 8 yr old (say) not so much which might stop some women (with no RL support) from participating. This way they can still join in and take their DS with them.
Having read the thread, I think I'm on the side of 'it encourages people who wouldn't participate to do so' and there's lots of other mixed events out there.
I would highly recommend looking into your local Parkrun. I'm just back from one this morning and it's extremely family friendly -boys, girls, mums dads even grandparents (and older) all welcome. And it's not a one off, you can do it every week!
Best habit of a lifetime I ever got into.
At most parkruns you can even bring the dog.
I really really dislike breast cancer UKs marketing
I think their cause is great but their methods fuck me right off
I started running by training for a race for life. If it wasn't women only, I wouldn't have felt confident enough to do it tbh. There weren't any park runs in those days, it was either r4l, or local running club organised events. So if r4l hadn't existed, I wouldn't have started running I don't think. I imagine many women who run started out in the same way.
Since then, I have done a couple of 10ks (one of them a r4l one, which I did with my boyfriend), and a half marathon.
I don't particularly like pink, and I'm not some kind of shy, delicate flower who's scared of men, but I wouldn't have had the confidence to run in a mixed event at first.
I was glad that I managed to raise a bit of money for cancer research for cancers that affect men and women.
I imagine that if cancer research though there was money to be made from men only events, they would organise some.
I used to go to a women-only gym and never thought that it was somehow discriminatory. I'm amazed that anyone cares really. If there was a men-only event that raised a lot of money for charity, it wouldn't occur to me to whinge that I wanted to be involved and it' NOT FAIR! Oh wait, there is a men-only thing isn't there, the moustache thing?
I wonder why some people feel so threatened and upset by this?
I'm not a feminist, i see what you're saying, but pick your battles? It's not really that much of an issue, it's a charity event for women and some of them choose to do it in pink, so what, it's in remembrance of loved one(s) who have died/survived cancer. Like I said up thread if men/young uns want to run round with the women they won't be booted off the course. Get over it/run it/stop moaning.
CBA to read the whole thread...but in the last few I've done your nephew could easily run around with you, the marshals aren't gonna drag him off the racecourse. We do Victoria Embankment in Nottingham, always a good turn out and if it's good weather a lovely brisk power walk :-)
Lots of good posts here but I'll add my two pennorth
Race for Life is women and girls only.
IMO (tho I have ever read this anywhere) this is so that women of any age, shape and size (and running ability or not) feel happy to enter.
IME a lot of women don't want to take part in a scary competitive race, but they are happy to go on an inspiring and uplifting event like RfL. If men were involved, maybe the thought is that they would be all macho and lycra-clad and lots of women would be put off.
There are plenty of other races which raise funds for cancer which yr nephew could do such as the Relay for Life, but RfL is women only and always has been. I don't know how long it has been going but I have done it 9 times.
BTW RfL is not a breast cancer fund-raiser, it is to aid research into ALL CANCER (sorry to shout but this misconception upsets me). I always run for my dad who died of bowel cancer. If one person survives for an extra year because of the piffling sums I raise it will have been worth it.
I honestly am sad that some people refuse to sponsor those who do RfL because it is women-only. Are women only sessions at the pool not OK? How about women/girl only footy teams? IME the girls' teams are the best places for girls to play football - they seem to get more out of it and get on better. Are they breaking some unwritten rule? My book group is all-female. We don't hate men or anything, but we don't have any. Not at this particular event.
What NotKathy, like women's only gyms?
Lack of interest by men. Lack of the running equivalent of bums on seats. Trainers behind the line? One of the increased risk factors for cancer is being overweight/inactive. Female participation in public exercise plummets from puberty. If it gives women the confidence to take part I have no problem with it.
Bumpity Bump Bump
" women are precious little flowers who need to be protected from the mean men."
Of course the Feminist argument would be that women who've experienced some form of abuse would be more likely to participate.

Aloha, Trojan Fútbol Family!
March 18, 2013
Aloha, Trojan Family!
At 6:30 am on a Friday, the USC women's fútbol team hopped on a charter bus for a ride to the airport to a board plane to paradise. Everyone was tired but very excited to be departing to Hawai'i for Spring Break. Once on the plane, everyone found their individual seat while looking and hoping not to find a baby or young child anywhere near them. Lucky for us there were many little children! And they were spread out throughout the plane! After being on a plane for five hours with children who were very loudly expressing how excited they were to be going to Hawai'i, we arrived in beautiful Oahu.
Once off the plane, food was on every girl's mind and on the top of the list of priorities. After a quick pitstop to Subway, we were at our hotel soaking up the beautiful oceanfront views. It was an early night for the team, since everyone was adjusting to the time difference, early morning rise, and travel.
On Saturday morning we were up and awake at 7:30 to have our first practice in Oahu. "Wait. What? We actually have to practice while we're here? We're not just going to the beach and tanning all day?" Soon after arriving at the soccer park, we are graciously approached by a youth girls' soccer team, who woke up on their day off from school to come watch us practice. That's some dedication right there. They were all very supportive and extremely nice. Our first practice was tough but a great start to our beautiful week.
Even though we were still trying to get rid of jet lag and get used to the field conditions, it still seemed to be like one of our usual practices except for the fact we are totally across the Pacific Ocean soaking up the sun in Oahu. After practice, everyone's main goal was to get to the beach as soon as possible. The rest of the day we were on our own to enjoy a great, lazy, clear blue ocean sunny day.
The next morning, we had a LOVELY beach conditioning session with Coach D. Most people who hear "beach" and "conditioning" in the same sentence frown at the thought but this team has its priorities straight. Whatever gets us the best tan and in shape at the same time, we are all for! Straight from conditioning, we went to practice at the local park. Short-sided games quickly escalated into shouting matches for which team won and discrepancies over the rules and regulations. It got heated real quickly! But what can I say? We are a competitive team even in tranquil Hawai'i.
Quickly after practice, we drove to Hanauma Bay, a beautiful nature preserve where snorkeling gives you real life interaction with the fish from "Finding Nemo". It's been a blast so far and its only been two days. We have surf lessons tomorrow with Elizabeth Eddy, so who knows what will happen to us tomorrow!
We are beyond thankful to USC for giving us the opportunity to experience Hawaii as a team. Fight on!!

Gulf has promoted Clare Ennis to the Buccaneers' head girls basketball coach, the school announced Monday.
Ennis was an assistant last season under Mike Quarto, the Times' all-Suncoast coach of the year who resigned to pursue an administrative position.
Ennis inherits a Gulf team expected to be among the best in Pasco County. G/F Kayla Kivinski was the Times' all-North Suncoast player of the year last season. The Buccaneers also return standout guards Kadejah Saunders and Lexy Schulman from a team that finished 28-3 and advanced to the Class 5A region finals.
Since 2003, Gulf has advanced to the playoffs seven times and won five district championships.

Ethical implications of religious tolerance?
Join LibraryThing to post.
This topic is currently marked as "dormant"—the last message is more than 90 days old. You can revive it by posting a reply.
I asked about this at the end of a post in the Dawkins thread, but thought it might be more productive to give it its own.
Might one have a responsibility NOT to be blithely tolerant of superstitious beliefs, given their inherent potential dangers?
If you're divided on the question, have come to some accomodation around it, or know of some good books or articles that address this difficulty head-on, please let me know.
I accomodate the potential danger in others beliefs because one ought to be tolerant for a number of reasons.
- you don't have the experiances of the other person
- you are never going to convince someone else to give up there faith
- a little bit of tolerance makes the world a lot smoother to live in
- If they are wrong there is little harm they can do?
The last is perhaps more questionable, depending on the exact beliefs and the degree of tolerance one recieves in return.
Might one have a responsibility NOT to be blithely tolerant of superstitious beliefs, given their inherent potential dangers?
Interesting question. I don't know how to answer it personally (or maybe I can't "pick one"), but I'm reminded of the cases when it WAS assumed that the answer is "yes", i.e. the official suppression of religious belief under some Communist regimes. Of course, this still left a lot of space for (other kinds of) superstition (and even the most rigid systems did not achieve--nor aim for--absolute societal atheism).
I can say this much, though: I find it hard to believe we could ever create a homogeneously "rational" society. Don't know if it's because some part of religiosity seems to be biologically predisposed, or because humans are spiteful little beasts :), forever contrary.
