/// The CW Stacks Up the Sci-Fi
The CW today announced a radical tinkering of its prime-time Feng Shui, shifting two bubble series to Monday nights and placing its new series in unexpected time slots. The new lineup centralizes the network's sci-fi programming in a three-night midweek cluster, while pushing its more traditional fare to the margins. Starting with Tuesday nights, the first of the three genre showcases, the CW has paired its Vampire Diaries spinoff, The Originals , with its veteran franchise Supernatural. Sliding The Originals in the 8 p.m. slot subverts the notion that new series are best served by leading out of established shows, and it also negates the possibility of an all-bloodsucker block. The time slot promises to be particularly challenging for The Originals, as it will go head-to-head with the 800-lb gorilla that is the ABC newbie Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The breakout drama Arrow returns to its Wednesday 8 p.m. perch, where it sets the table for the new sci-fi strip, The Tomorrow People . Based on the weird '70s U.K. kids' show of the same name, TTP is about a race of high-cheekboned telepaths (Robbie Arnell, Peyton List, Luke Mitchell) who are being hunted down by a group of paramilitary scientists. The pairing with Arrow should give the newcomer a lift; per Nielsen, the superhero drama was the most-watched series on the CW this season. On Thursdays, the network's top-rated show in the 18-34 demo, The Vampire Diaries, will lead into the costume drama Reign
The rest is here:

Have a piece of news you want us to discuss? Submit it here via this email form and we'll weigh in on an upcoming episode.
Our command of energy resources has created amazing technologies and social systems at a grand scale, but at what cost? Where past societies shackled human muscle with force and subjugation to create an energy surplus, beginning in the late 19th century we have used coal, oil & gas to create an unprecedented energy abundance. As the era of surplus energy comes to an end, how will our systems reliant on energy slaves for mechanical and cognitive work adapt? How is the energy transition moving forward?
In Extraenvironmentalist #76 we discuss our global energy systems with Andrew Nikiforuk as we discuss his new book, The Energy of Slaves: Oil and the New Servitude. Andrew discusses ways of understanding our use and abuse of cheap energy. Then, Chris Nelder joins us to talk about the ongoing energy transition and how it is reaching a tipping point through the recognition of a financial carbon bubble, the German Energiewende and the decline of the traditional oil majors.
As Terence McKenna once said, "Reason, and science, and the practice of unbridled capitalism, have not delivered us into an angelic realm. Quite the contrary: they've delivered 3% of us into an angelic realm, completely overshadowed by guilt about what's happening to the other 97% of us who are eating it!"

Great music! Also, great interviews. Keep it up!
What's the intro music?
Another great discussion here! I think it's important to emphasize, as Andrew did briefly, that nuclear power always, always ends up being more expensive and polluting than initial estimates. Going the nuclear route will bankrupt any nation foolish enough to try it, besides which, some people assert that if the world starts deriving a really significant percentage of its energy from nuclear power, we will start running out of fissile materials in under 100 years anyway. On the other hand, I would like to hear more discussion along the lines of this episode, about how the very fact that we have "energy slaves" distorts our culture and our personal relationships.
This is Kevin, whose overlong "Listener Voicemail" is the one that Justin posted in the player above! I wanted to emphasize, there's a lot of room for debate here. My letter was very critical of Rotering's discussion, but I agree that it's an important discussion to have, and I give a lot of credit to Rotering and Seth & Justin for promoting conversation about this. There are no stupid questions, there are no easy answers to be found here.
I'm not yet convinced a revolution is likely, let alone inevitable (despite its necessity). But my main concern is that we need to have this discussion, about the political implementation of ideas, _BEFORE_ the revolution, if and when it occurs. If we don't or can't figure out some real-life implementation of our ideas, one which reflects our values — then it's too easy for some demagogue to wave a flag and quote a few buzz-words, while abusing power as so many leaders of the past have done. "Meet the New Boss, just the same as the Old Boss"…
Andrew's book, The Energy of Slaves, is quite good. I read it as soon as it came out and went to see him speak in Bellingham. For another perspective, you can also check out my book, "The Laws of Physics Are On My Side" (2013). In this book, I look at the organization of society from an anthropological perspective. Civilization requires slaves. If the US hadn't developed its oil industry quickly after the Civil War, the federal government would have faced two choices. 1) Either re-institute slavery or 2) watch US society collapse into a lower level of organization.
Oil energy allows us the fantasy of democracy. Coal alone did not provide enough energy to allow us to get rid of human slaves. Oil did.
I found something clarifying the diminishing returns in science, at least one aspect:
They misapply words to fit their projects into the search grid the funding bean counters use to determine the so called impact factor. What a sham. Now we have to go back to the 1850ies, when you had to read the whole paper to get what it is about.
If anyone's still interested, a significant part of my dispute with author Rotering is that i don't believe people change their minds when simply presented with facts. Chris Mooney is about to release an entire book about this subject, based largely on scientific studies of the question itself, and a couple of articles have appeared recently summarizing his book. Check out: http://www.salon.com/2012/02/24/the_ugly_delusions_of_the_educated_conservative/ ; http://m.motherjones.com/environment/2014/06/dan-kahan-climate-change-ideology-scientific-illiteracy

Just moved to Hercules -need todo's for a 5yr oldApril 2013
We recently moved out to hercules and were curious about some if the extra curricular activities out this way. There are generally little to nothing on Hercules. Any experience with camps? Martial arts classes? Recreation programs? Etc thx! Lynn
There are great programs through the Hercules and Pinole Recreation Depts. If you want a very good martial arts school, I recommend Dragon Martial Arts in El Sobrante. My son went there for many years and it is excellent training and the owners really care about their students. The East Bay Silver Dolphins is a fabulous year round swim team at the Hercules Pool. Lakeridge Athletic Club is a great family health club with a fantastic swimming pool. It is in El Sobrante and they have a summer camp for kids. There are a lot of things in the area for kids. Another good resource is the Contra Costa Marketplace magazine that is delivered free to homes in Hercules. If you happen to like yoga, check out Tierra Yoga in Hercules. I love this studio. It's small, intimate and has great teachers. Hercules mom
Looking for Mom group in or near HerculesJuly 2010
I'm looking for a mommy's group for me and my 2 1 /2 year old to join. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would like to meet other new moms in the Hercules/Pinole area. Thanks! Isadora
Hi, I live in Pinole and have an 18 month old and belong to a Mom's group that is organized through meetup.com, we're called the Busy Bees of Contra Costa. Its an active group that mainly plans activities on the weekends, though there are some weekday activities starting. I've already made some good friends. I hope you join! Jessica
This website has a huge listing of all the parent groups in Contra Costa County: http://www.contracostapreschools.com/mothersclubs.html. Hopefully, they have something for you. joj

Considering buying in HerculesNov 2005
I have read the postings on the Web site about Hercules but most of the information is five years old. We are considering buying in Hercules and wanted to hear from current residents. We are curious about which areas to buy in Hercules for a good school district and how long the commute is to both SF (via public transport) and Walnut Creek (via car) on weekdays and weekends. Can you buy a decent 3 bed/ 2 bath for $600,000? Is the planned ferry to SF something that will become a reality or is it just a dream of the city's? Amanda
Have you ever thought of coming across the bridge over to Benicia? It's rated the 3rd best city to live in California according to the money magazine. It's 15 mins to Walnut Creek and 45 plus minutes on the ferry across the bay. My husband commutes to Oakland and I commute to SFO about 10 times a month. Good school district as well although we send our little ones to a Montessori school in Emeryville that teaches Japanese and Mandarin. Although Benicia is a small town and may lack on culture but it's very safe little sleepy town. Email me if you like more info and also know of a great realtor as well.
2003 & Earlier
Moving to Hercules soonApril 2003
I will be moving to Hercules soon. I would like any feedback about their community center classes/programs, pediatricians or alternative practicioners, events, Westcat transit center, etc. Any tips or input regarding Hercules would be appreciated. Melissa
The community/swim center in Hercules is the best way to learn about city events/activities. Check out the Hercules City website at http://www.ci.hercules.ca.us/New/index.htm and then click on 'Recreation' to learn about activities/classes. Regarding quality of classes that the center puts on, I am a bit biased since I teach prenatal/postnatal exercise classes there - but other classes that I've attended have been good quality. The pool is fabulous for children. I plan to take my daughter to the infant/toddler swim hours there this summer. Regarding pediatricians, a few weeks ago the newsletter had pediatrician recommendations in the Pinole/Hercules area, so you might want to take a look at that. I don't think there are many Herculeans on the Berkeley Parents Network, so you may not see many responses to your posting. Feel free to email me directly if you have specific questions.
Thinking about moving to the Promenade complexSept 2002
We have seen the previous recommendations but would like more advice. My family is thinking about moving to one of the homes in the new Promenade complex in Hercules but we are very nervous about our decision because you have to make a commitment before the homes are built (the models aren't even complete yet). Any advice about this particular housing complex (Western Pacific) or surrounding area, city plans for this area (ie town-center), school districts associated with this area and general comments about Hercules will be highly appreciated. We have an 8 mth old daughter and we need to make a decision v. soon.
My family lives in the Coventry subdivision of Hercules (homes just below the new Promenade development). I'll can't speak much about buying a home before it is built, but there are some homes in Promenade that are pretty much finished (you will definitely be able to get an idea of the layout of the house). As for the neighborhood and city plans, I am very optimistic. Our neighborhood is filled with young families and lots of children. We moved into our home in July 2002 and we feel there is a very strong committment to Hercules' development, via the construction of the library, waterfront downtown area and the city will soon have a Home Depot store, bringing more revenue to the city. We have yet to examine the elementary schools ourselves but we have heard they are decent (with Hanna Ranch Elementary being the best of the 3), and there is talk that with all the new homes being built, a new elementary school should be coming as well. The wetlands area below Promenade (by Santa Fe Ave.) is environmentally protected from further development.
One thing to consider is the commute. I work in Berkeley and bring my 2 kids to daycare/preschool in Berkeley, so we use the carpool lane - takes about 25 minutes on a normal day. There is the local transit center in Hercules, but my husband, who works in the financial district in SF, drives to the Richmond Parkway transit center, and takes the AC Transit Transbay bus to the city. There are busses that serve Hercules that go to the El Cerrito BART, and while convenient, takes a bit longer.
All in all we are very satisfied with our decision to move to Hercules, and into a brand new home. There is a sense of community there that I have not experienced in a long time, and I am optimistic that the city's plans will succeed. Also, it appears that our home has already appreciated quite a bit since we moved in, which is a good thing!
Good luck! Jennifer
Living in Hercules, commuting to SFFeb 2002
We are considering moving to Hercules, but don't really know much about day-to-day living there. Any advice/comments about daily commuting to SF, local public and private elementary schools, community, etc.? Thanks.
My husband and I moved to Hercules one year ago. We had been living in San Francisco and were looking for a place to live that is more affordable than the city and has a reasonble commute to the city and also to Marin County (I was working in Marin and my husband in the city).
The commute to Marin ranges from 30 minutes to 65 mintues depending upon the traffic, but if you time it well, 45 minutes is normal. Commuting to the city is a bit more unpredictable. If you're willing to do casual carpool from the Hercules Transit parking lot, then it isn't bad at all. You can count on getting there in about 45 minutes. But, then you have to take Bart back to the El Cerrito station and then a bus to Hercules to get home, since casual carpool coming back isn't as simple (have to wait a long time to find someone coming to Hercules in the city). My husband and I paid for a hotel for a night before moving here just so that we could try the commute in the morning and get a sense for it. It helped us determine if we could stand the commute or not.
There are three elementary schools in Hercules. All are considered to be OK, but of the three, Hanna Ranch Elementary test scores are significantly better. We decided to buy in only in the Hanna Ranch district, so that our child will be able to go there (she is now only 5 months old). The community is quite active in school issues. My husband and I went to a meeting last year about the schools here at the community swim center and were amazed at how many people attended. The gym was packed!
Day to day life in Hercules is pretty slow paced. Very different than what we were used to in the city. Lines aren't very long and parking is always available! We were worried at first that we'd miss the city, but we don't at all. We love it here. People are very friendly everywhere we go. The only thing that we really miss is the restaurants. There are almost no restaurants here (besides fast food), so if we want to go out for a nice meal, we have to drive to another city. But, we've found this is actually a good thing on our budget, since we don't go out nearly as often! All the basics can be found very close by -- hair salons, copy shop, grocery store, post office, dry cleaners, banks, movie theater, etc -- all within 10 minutes.
Finally, the other thing that we like very much about Hercules, is the diversity of people. There is a mix of many different races and cultures. Our neighbors are black, Filipino, white, hispanic, and Indian. We like this very much! anonymous

What's the 'title of show'?
By Tang Hsiang-yi, The China Post Friday, October 12, 2012, 4:19 pm TWN
When it comes to Broadway musicals, you might think of "The Lion King," "The Phantom of the Opera" or "Cats" — big productions which involve a great number of performers, as well as a full set. Come see '[Title of Show]' and it could well broaden your definition of musical theater. The 90-minute off-then-on-Broadway musical makes its Taipei debut tonight for a five-performance run.
Hunter Bell and Jeff Bowen are two nobodies who decide to write an original musical to submit to the New York Musical Theatre Festival. The deadline is in three weeks so they end up writing about themselves — about how two guys create a musical with the help of their friends, Susan Blackwell and Heidi Blickenstaff.
The deadline is pressing and none of them come up with a brilliant idea for the title. Therefore they decide to leave the title-of-show field on the application form as it is, making this meta-musical very self-conscious, beginning with the title.
"I think this show has a lot of feelings because it is so small and because it started in such a real place. It is really honest and really natural," said Brook Hall, director of the show and Ripple Productions LLC, during the rehearsal.
"Many, many people have ideas, and the fact is that these four people who wrote this show started with nothing — no stars, no huge set, no money and no chance. It just grew because they were really funny and smart and it really touched me," Hall added.
Mandy Roveda (Susan), Brandon Thompson (Hunter), Cat Tsai (Heidi) and Ming Lee (Jeff) are partners Hall found to put the show together in Taipei, along with piano virtuoso Holy Chang, who plays keyboard in the show.
"In our show, in rehearsal, we kind of become the story, become a family," explained Hall. "Everybody has other jobs. Taipei is not like New York, where you can be a full-time actor. Everybody gives their time and it takes a lot of time."
For example, Lee is an air traffic controller who often works at night. "My character, Jeff, makes a living as a webpage designer. Writing songs is something he likes to do. I am just like that — having a job and a passion. Therefore I feel like I'm starring as myself. The story resonates well with me because it truly reflects theater people's lives," he said.
As for Hall, an experienced Broadway actor and seasoned dancer who has stayed in Taiwan for almost 10 years, this is a special moment he has been waiting for.
"Even if we touch just a small number of people, I think it would have some influence in the community. My company is called Ripple, and together with Cat, we started a theater company called the Butterfly Effect. It starts really small and it makes waves; we will see," he concluded.
Bringing in a fully licensed, small-scale and interesting musical comedy is something new, as well as its showing location, the Central Motion Pictures Company Building (中影商業大樓). "[Title of Show]" will be the first of potentially many theatrical events in its over 500-seat auditorium. The show will be performed in English with Chinese subtitles. ■
► 'Title of Show' (演出名稱) ► 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12-14 (Fri. ~ Sun.) / 2:30 p.m. Oct. 13-14 (Sat. ~ Sun.) / Central Motion Pictures Company Building (中影商業大樓) / 3F No. 260 Section 2 Bade Road, Taipei (台北市八德路二段260號3樓) / NT$650 / www.artsticket.com.tw/

Greece's creditors leave Athens, talks to continue
By Sophie Sassard and Dina Kyriakidou
LONDON/ATHENS (Reuters) - Chief negotiators for Greece's private creditors left Athens on Saturday without a deal on a debt swap plan that is vital to avert a chaotic default, sources close to the negotiations told Reuters.
A technical team stayed in the Greek capital to work on details, and negotiations will continue over the phone, but it is unlikely a deal can be clinched before a crucial meeting on Monday of euro zone finance ministers, the sources said.
Greek officials had been expecting Institute of International Finance chief Charles Dallara, who negotiates in the name of creditors, to hold meetings on Saturday but he left early in the day for Paris.
The IIF denied that Dallara and his adviser Jean Lemierre had left unexpectedly and said they had longstanding personal appointments.
Following several rounds of talks from Wednesday to Friday, Greece and its private creditors are converging towards a deal in which private creditors will take a real loss of 65 to 70 percent, sources close to the negotiations said.
But a lot of details are still unresolved, including on legal aspects of the deal, the sources said.
"Discussions will continue over the phone this weekend but an agreement is unlikely before next week, if there is an agreement at all," one source close to the talks said. "Things are complicated, we are getting closer on the numbers but there is still quite some work ahead."
Much of the attention will now turn to the euro zone finance ministers' meeting in Brussels, and to how EU paymaster Germany and the IMF view the progress in the debt swap talks. Continued...

Former Guntersville Pediatrician Pleads Guilty To Federal Child...
There are 24 comments on the WHNT News 19 story from Mar 4, 2010, titled Former Guntersville Pediatrician Pleads Guilty To Federal Child.... In it, WHNT News 19 reports that:A former Guntersville pediatrician pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court to possessing child pornography.

Gag. This man should get the death penalty. Child molesters DO NOT rehabilitate. He may not have killed this girl, but he's done irrepairable damage. Worthless bastard!
United States
#2 Mar 4, 2010
brings a whole new meaning to playing doctor huh?
#3 Mar 4, 2010
He should be now required to marry her just like in the old days. She can divorce him a year later if she doesn't enjoy the amenities but only after she brings his child into the world and simply claims half the estate. He does NOT need to be incarcerated.!!! He was a productive citizen all his life but now he has succumbed and has made a new bed and he should lie in it.
This 'Lolita' obviously was sexually active with the local pockfaced,unlettered,rank hillbillys and figured to move out of the stinking trailer and away from her mother's many "boyfriends" and their slimy hands. To better her lot she learned her mothers wiles and, with her approval, applied them by seducing the richest guy in town.
This is the new tradition all over America to gain early wealth after the divorce(if there ever was a marriage). Go ask your local Baptist preacher.

Mayberryfan is obviusly a moron in dotage.
#5 Mar 4, 2010
I have no idea where to begin with this man, he actually raped the girl at his home, and has been in trouble with other similar cases before! How he got a license in this state is beyond me. Why he kept this stuff on his cell phone makes this all too clear how sick he is. Lock his ass up!
#6 Mar 4, 2010
@ Chumchucker - If you could spell I'd be insulted. But, as you've already proven by your rantings, you are indeed a moron and therefore I pity you. Now go brush your tooth before you kiss your sister again. She deserves better.
#7 Mar 4, 2010
I agree with Mayberryfan. Seems like they may have stepped on some toes or hit a nerve there. They are sick and if you dont like Alabama people go back to FL.
#8 Mar 4, 2010
The more I hear of these sick sexual preditors,the more I just can not believe them! They DO NEED TO LOCK HIM UP!!!!!! Regardless of what this child said or did he is a 60+year old man, AND the Dr. that her parents trusted. Just unbelievabe.
#9 Mar 4, 2010
You are unbelievabe as well and you prove by your statements that you need to be right next to him in his cell! You deserve each others company.

This Doctor should be locked away for life. This is a scary wake up call for parents. I don't know how I would handle finding out my child's Doctor is capable of such a heinous crime, and sick enough to keep pictures and sex texts on his cell phone, like he won a prize. SICK !!!
He should NEVER EVER be allowed back into society !

violent sexual offenders are NOT punished severely enough for anyone to take the crime seriously. Until AlL offenders are given swift capital punishment, these crimes will not stop. Cruelty to animals is punished more harshly and taken more seriously than acts of sexual violence.

Look its only rape in the sense that the female involved was not of age to consent legally to his advances. It is not like he forced her, more like he lured her and she went along. Hell no I am not saying it is right what happened. I do feel like he should be locked away and it is unfortunate more mid evil types of punishment are no longer available. I am just wondering what in the heck was the girl thinking. I mean he is not remotely attractive in any way. Where were the parents when this took place? I know you cannot know every thing your child is up to but it seems as though they had some sick relationship.
#16 Mar 5, 2010
swhsvmom ~ If you think this isn't rape, then you do not come close to understanding the coercion and mind games a child molester can play. Just because he didn't drag her into a dark alley, doesn't mean it wasn't rape. It was! Only in this case, she may blame herself for not realizing what was going on in time to stop it. NO DOUBT about it!! RAPE!!!!!!!!!!
#17 Mar 5, 2010
I'm hoping you are being sarcastic. You certainly set rape laws back a few hundred years with your mentality, or lack thereof, chum. In case no one has informed you, pedephiles and rapists cannot be rehabilitated. They are predators who will, given the slightest chance, continue to prey on the unwary. I sincerely hope your children never meet a pedephile with your Neanthalithic attitude!

#20 Mar 5, 2010
No I never said it is not rape. I just said it is statutory rape rather than the violent forcing type of rape. I was leaning towards the fact that she was not violently forced into sexual activity with him but rather was lured into it (it is even stated as such in my post). Yet, since you do seem to understand the coercion and mind games that are played perhaps you can answer my question. What in God's name was she thinking? I can see where the somewhat handsome 30 year old or younger takes advantage of the young girl. I just do not see how this creepy and nasty looking old fart (forgive me) can talk a young girl into it. I only ask this because as a parent of a girl myself, I want to do everything possible to make sure this does not happen to my little one.

@swhsvmom - The best way to protect your child from this kind of thing is to talk, often! Don't be afraid to be frank with your child. Tell her about the ways a child molester will groom a victim. Tell her that touching or talk that makes her uncomfortable is something she should pay attention to and discuss with you. Above all, tell her if someone does something to her that it is NOT her fault. Children do not see themselves in a sexual way and therefore can't understand that an adult might. Good luck. Your child is lucky to have a caring parent!

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee stole a season-high six bases en route to its 30th victory of the season with a 10-1 win over the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles at Bush Stadium.
The win snapped a four-game losing streak for the No. 10 Volunteers (30-9) while securing their 12th 30-win season in the last 14 years. Tech dropped to 11-17.
Tennessee scored in each of the first five innings in building a 10-0 lead. The Eagles made an error in each of the first two innings leading to four unearned runs. Nick Crowe, who drove in two, capped a three-run second with a triple, while Brian Cleveland added an RBI double in the third while swiping two bases.
Eric King led off a four-run fourth with his second home run and Alex Suarez crowned the inning with a two-run double for a 9-0 lead.
Rob Fitzgerald then scored on a sacrifice fly by Crowe in the fifth.
Dusty Johnson (1-0) earned the win in his first start with a career-high eight strikeouts in five no-hit innings. He started strong by striking out four of the first six batters he faced and finished his outing the same way by striking out the side in the fourth and the first batter in the fifth before inducing an inning-ending double play.
Matthew Edwards (0-4) took the loss for Tech.
Joey Andrews made his first appearance since Feb. 29 after battling an elbow injury, continued the no-hit bid by striking out the side in the sixth.
With one out in the seventh, pinch hitter Brian Brauss broke up the no-hitter with a solid single to left off Chris Howell. Tech mounted its only major scoring threat by loading the bases before Howell got Grant French to ground into a tailor-made double play to end the inning.
Then in the ninth, four wild pitches in the ninth led to Techs only run as Philip Hatch struck out and took first on a wild pitch and moved around the bases to score on three Craig Cobb wild pitches.
Tennessee plays host to the No. 7 LSU Tigers in a key Southeastern Conference series April 23-25. Game times are 7 p.m., 7 p.m. and 2 p.m. (EDT).

Last October, California Gov. Gray Davis stunned the racing industry with his veto of legislation that would have permitted account wagering and given backstretch workers better living conditions and an opportunity to join labor unions. On Aug. 13 of this year, Davis signed legislation that was virtually identical to the bill he vetoed. What was different this time around? First, as Davis acknowledged in a statement when he signed the bill, was federal legislation clarifying the Interstate Horse Racing Act and expanding the definition of interstate wagering to include Internet wagering. That cleared up questions raised by the Justice Department about possible violations of the Wire Act. Interestingly, in his statement, Davis said the California attorney general advised him the federal law made such bets legal "where it is specifically authorized or not forbidden," which means telephone and Internet wagering already may be legal in California and most other states where it is not prohibited by law. Secondly, the racing industry did a better job of educating Davis about why signing the bill was the right thing to do. They made it clear California was losing $250 million per year in handle to out-of-state or offshore operators, which seriously jeopardized the future of an industry that provides more than 50,000 jobs in the state. An important assist in this education process has to go to Kentucky Gov. Paul Patton, who wrote a letter to fellow Democrat Davis on July 30 explaining why he should sign the bill. In his letter, Patton said the legislation is "critical to the horse breeding economy of my state and yours" and cited the federal legislation clarifying interstate wagering. "Kentucky's unique place in the tradition of horseracing is well known," Patton wrote. "California's heritage of breeding and racing is an integral part of that culture. It is well worth strengthening for future generations. I strongly urge you to put your signature on the account wagering and backside legislation." Patton didn't stop at sending a letter to Davis. At the recent annual meeting of the National Governors Association, Patton bent the California governor's ear on the importance of the account wagering legislation. Patton has no connection to the horse industry, but he has grown to understand its significance during his two terms as governor. He also has gained political clout since taking office in 1995, serving as head of the Democratic Governors' Association, then as vice chairman of the National Governors Association, and is in line to head that organization in 2003. Davis succeeded Patton as chairman of the DGA.
COMMON GROUND Magna Entertainment, Churchill Downs, and the New York Racing Association may have their differences, but there is one subject where they should find common ground: tax reform. That issue was overshadowed by the interim report from the National Thoroughbred Racing Association's Task Force on Racing Integrity and Drug Testing at the 49th annual Jockey Club Round Table on Aug. 19, but tax reform at the state level is an achievable goal. It's questionable if the same can be said of uniformity in medication rules and drug-testing procedures. The NTRA said it is prepared to assist in grass roots lobbying efforts at the state level to change how the racing industry is taxed. Currently, the largest racing states, including California, Florida, Kentucky, and New York (where Magna, Churchill, and NYRA primarily operate), apply a tax on pari-mutuel handle. A comprehensive study by the NTRA Task Force on Economic Regulation concluded that racing should be taxed the same as other businesses--on revenue, rather than on handle. This change would allow tracks to be more flexible on takeout pricing and make it more competitive with other forms of gambling.

The new catalog features not only open source software that has been sponsored by the agency, but also open access publications of its funded research. All content that is sensitive to military applications was removed.

Fit in into the White society?
Where or whom do you think the bigger pressure among Black women to straighten their hair comes from? Whites? Or Blacks?
Am I wrong by saying that White folks generally mind kinky/curly hair less than Blacks themselves?
This came into my mind after reading some things about Chris Rocks Good Hair.
Non-Black folks dont even understand what good hair is supposed to mean.
Btw, I don't mean to discard Asians and Latinos here. I think most of them are also pretty clueless about "good hair", with the possible exceptions of Latino communities with considerable African influence, Dominicans being a primary example.
I know this subject has come up before. You might be able to find some info in the 4 boards. I know that some black women do catch a lot of grief from family and friends sometimes for going natural. For whatever reason it seems like it's almost a sin sometimes for them to wear their hair natural instead of relaxing it.
There is a lot of this discussion over on the "hall of shame" board too. Great threads!
Given, there is a lot of discussion other places on NC about this sort of thing. I will give a reply to the OP.
It's definitely blacks that have the bigger issue. I don't think the majority of whites give a hoot all that much about what blacks do with their hair unless it's distracting or "unprofessional" looking in a job setting.
Black folks have the bigger issue..at least in the USA. But I do think that stems from trying to fit more into the white standard of Beauty..at least it did originally in my opinion. Now it's got all sorts of issues tied in with it.
Having said that..I think a lot of white women get pressure to straighten as well though. Because straight hair is often thought of as more attactive.
There are other threads on the website about this similar topic, but just to give a quick reply:
During slavery, slaves were taught by their white masters that their dark skin and kinky, coily hair were ugly. Light skin was considered ideal and straight hair was considered "good" hair. Unfortunately, this belief has been carried down throughout the centuries. I've gotten curious looks and whispers from some other blacks when they see me in the street while most whites haven't paid me any mind. Blacks in general react more violently about hair because of the ingrained issues about it that have been passed down through time. It often isn't just about hair to us. Hair is often seen as a larger statement about our culture, which other people sometimes don't care to understand. Many black women relax their hair, but most white women aren't coveting locs or fros, which says a lot about how the two groups view themselves to me. Black women relax their hair to attempt to fit into a narrow standard of beauty and white women don't feel the need to imitate our hair, because they feel their hair is acceptable as is and/or is the "more acceptable" hair.
Not meaning to be confrontational in any respect there ;o) its just interesting to see, and also to see you guys acknowledge it.
Though it might not be limited to race in this respect. Remember, white women do feel an above average urge to straighten our hair ourselves. and very few of us are completely naturally straight. Perhaps this is nothing to do with fitting in white society at all, since white society is not naturally straight-haired itself. Maybe it is purely down to universal asthetic.
i, personally, once had a friend say to me that she thought it was great that i had the courage to wear my hair the way i did.
unless it is straight, natural hair is just not widely accepted by any race here in the usa.
And I mean come on....she flat irons the pure hell out of her hair so that Jewfro won't show. So she's projecting and needs to stop acting like curly hair is unattractive simply because SHE doesn't feel attractive as her natural self.
There are men that like curly hair and there are even some that PREFER it. My husband prefers curly hair on women in general. He was NUTS about Elaine's hair from Seinfeld when it first came on. He didn't care for when Julia Louis Dreyfus changed her hair.
He always told me that he wished I didn't ever straighten my hair when I used to do it. Now I wear it curly all the time much to his relief! LOL! He's always touching it and looking at it way more than he did when I had it straight. I am proud of my Jewfro! Given, the damn top flops down and I can't get my full Jewfro on as much as I would like! ROFL! But I digress...
So Stanger needs to just let the men choose.. and the women keep their hair how they want.. a man can see if he likes something or not. It's not like if he picks a woman and she's straightened her hair..he won't find out she's naturally curly ANYWAY eventually if they continue to see one another.. DUH!
When I used to live in Florida most of the girls were Caucasian and had nice silky straight hair so me being one of the only latinas in the school (I'm Dominican) I was teasted terribly in school for having curly hair one boy actually cut some of my hair off because he hated it so much, I always came home crying because I wished I had straight hair.. Our society is messed up since when is curly hair "bad hair" people need to stop being delusional and put down the flat iron =]
white stylists/ the beauty industry can often have a bias against curly hair but that is because curly hair is pretty rare in the white world. it may not seem that way because we see the world through curly eyes. we are looking for curls and we remember the curl girls. but out of hundreds of women i only know a few who have truly curly hair. and often it's very silky and fine so it's not really that 'different'. but very curly, puffy, coarse, frizzy curly hair in the white world is rare so it's misinterpreted and people are afraid of what they don't know.
because all black women have curly hair, it's a different scenario, IMO. but white media was the majority media for so long. perhaps still.
I don't think that wavy or curly hair is as rare in the white world as the media would have us believe . I see a lot of white women walking around with straightened or flat ironed hair. A lot of these women probably have very little curl compared to the rest of of us but I think that a lot of white women still feel pressure to straighten their hair.
My entire family on my dad's side has curly hair. 2A to 3C. My Aunt, who is an idiot, and has 2bish looking hair, once made the comment, "Kristin is such a pretty girl, it is unfortunate that she has that bad hair." I know that she is racist and I believe that this is where her ideas about come from.
I have felt pressure from the women on that side of my family to straighten my hair. Luckily I have a bunch of people like my mother, father and husband who think my hair is beautiful.
I am white, but I often identify with the things that are said on the 4 boards by the African American women about reactions to their hair. I often feel like I need to flat iron my hair for an interview. I hate that.
I hate "good hair/bad hair" I love all natural hair. It is so beautiful and god given. I hate the stupid ideas and restrictions we place on each other. Even I trick myself into believing that I am more beautiful with straight hair sometimes.
Though maybe not on the same level, many non black people deal with the good hair/bad hair issue as well. Its just not talked about as much IMO. There are several threads on this site that discuss women of various ethnicities having to deal with it. One example would be the "Case of Mistaken Race" thread on the 3C board.
I don't think white people care as much about what black people do to their hair in general. However, in terms of the standard of beauty- i.e. black women's hair in its natural state deemed unacceptable- I think this is perpetuated a lot by white people as well, its just done more quietly.
Hair that is closer to straight is closer to a "white standard of beauty". Since most black women have wavy, curly or kinky hair, I would say this standard of beauty is race based. While there are white people with tightly coiled or kinky hair, it is much less common. It is so uncommon that many people don't even *believe* white people can have kinky hair!
Of course there are many ethnic groups that have naturally curly/kinky hair or almost always have straight hair, but in most cases, society tends to dice them up into "black" and "white" anyway. hence the black/white discussion. I don't see how we can talk about it without talking about race.
Blacks with naturally straight/wavy hair
Perhaps they're just rare in America. :dunno:
This is where I'm torn.
You've got articles telling women with curly hair they should straighten it before an interview. The "Millionaire Matchmarker" telling curlies they should straighten so they could get a date. Then you read sentiments expressed like the ones in this post saying that white people as a whole don't really care how black people wear their hair. So who does this "straighten your hair for an interview/straighten your hair to get a date" "advice" apply to? Only 2's and 3's? Are 4's exempt? Or perhaps type 4 hair is so inconceivable to the "white world" that it's not even taken into account?
I've been working with my mainly white coworkers for 3 years now, and they've gotten used to the change in my hair (I think). They know I'm still the highly professional and efficient employee they originally hired.
However, if I were fired today and had a job interview tomorrow (I'm in South Carolina)... I still ask myself, "Who's going to interview me? Should I flatiron before the interview? If I show up in my natural curls, would they think I'm as crazy as my curls? How will I be perceived?"
Honestly... at this age and stage in my hair, I really don't know...
I think black ppl care more b/c of our own self hate about "afro textured hair."
As far as dates/interviews go, I think its pretty widespread...no matter your culture/color, you get social pressure to straighten your hair for these types of events. I've heard this from friends with wavy-kinky hair. I think that's something we're socialized to believe. Its the whole idea that any kind of curly hair is somewhat unkempt.
Here's my 2 cents...for what it's worth ;D I feel sad when I see black women who straighten their hair..I love all the kinks and curls and when I see someone (anyone, any color, any race) sporting their curly hair, I mention it. I tell them that I like it. The only 'issue' I would have would be to encourage them to moisturize it more...I know I have that problem with mine and my understanding from friends who adopted black children is that it is more delicate and they have to be more gentle with it.
I also love seeing black women with the braids and then the curly braids. I KNOW that it is hard on their hair and can lead to receding hairlines...but it is always so pretty and so intricate and I'm probably envious. Periodically I see white women doing it and I just want to tell them to take the braids out, shave their heads, whatever. I seem it more as an ethic look and there is not a white woman on the planet who can carry it off. It could also be my perception, but I see these woman as very self-confident and stately. Could me me, but I admit that.
So, two cents from a white woman who has the nickname of 'fish belly white' from her husband....
I would think every curly needs to moisturize on some level. I'm not sure how you would know if someone's hair needs to be more moisturized just by looking at them- unless they're hair is just jacked up. And jacked up hair comes in every texture/ethnic group :)

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
The single member LLC's (A&B) are disregarded for purposes of the LLC itself having to file a tax return. As a single member of an LLC, you would report your income and related expenses on Schedule C. If you are a single member of two separate LLC's, and assuming that the two LLC's relate to different types of business, then you would fill out a separate Schedule C for your income and expenses related to each the A and B LLC.
If you are also a member of an LLC partnership, the partnership itself would be required to file Form 1065 with the IRS. The partnership would also issue each partner a K-1 form to report all income from the partnership. The partner would then report his income from the K-1 form on the regular 1040 tax return.
If you are also a shareholder in an S Corporation, the S Corp would file a federal return on Form 1120S. The S Corp would issue W-2 forms to any shareholder who was paid a salary, and the S Corp would also issue K-1 forms to each shareholder to report all other income from the S Corp. The shareholder would then report the income from the W-2 and the K-1 using the regular 1040 tax return.
If this was helpful please press the Accept button. Positive feedback is also appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello againCustomer
If you own both LLC "A" and LLC "B" as a single member, then you would file two separate Schedule C's, and you would report the income and associated expeneses separately on each Schedule C for each LLC "A" and "B".
The K-1 forms that are issued by the partnership and the S Corp will go directly to you as an individual, and not to the LLC. The income from those K-1 forms is recorded directly as part of your 1040 form, and is not included on either of the Schedule C's that you file.

The triumph of the Pakistan People's Party(PPP) in the last parliamentary elections was expected to result in the PPP focusing on immediate national needs and putting off any action against President Musharraf who is detested by party leaders. However, due to pressure from coalition partner, the Pakistan Muslim League-N, the PPP has decided to immediately proceed with impeachment charges against the president. Asif Zardari, co-chair of the PPP, claims President Musharraf misappropriated millions of dollars in US aid. He charges $300 million of the $1 billion in aid goes to the military, but about "$700 million a year (is) missing. The rest has been taken by Musharraf for some scheme or other and we've go to find it." Zardari hinted part of that money might have gone to fund rogue elements of the ISI which was accused by the US of funding the Taliban.
Zardari, the widower of slain PPP leader Benazir Bhutto, believes Musharraf is guilty of economic sabotage and has not done much to develop energy sources the country desperately needs for its survival. Zardari will also charge the president with violating the Constitution last fall when he removed several judges from the Supreme Court.
Rumors are floating around that Zardari wants to become president once Musharraf is impeached. Of course, Zardari himself has a notorious record of fraud and has been repeatedly cited for his corruption when previously in power. Pakistan may well get rid of one corrupt leader only to inherit a new one.
