Call Him 'Red Shield': Benicio Del Toro Interview, Part II
Dominique Godreche
Jimmy P: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian opened on Tuesday at the New York Film Festival, and stars Benicio Del Toro as a Blackfeet Indian and veteran who has returned from World War II with a mysterious form of post-traumatic stress disorder. The film charts the relationship between Del Toro's titular character and a French psychoanalyst (played by Mathieru Amalric), and was directed by Arnaud Desplechin. This is the second part of our interview with Del Toro; to read the first part click to "Benicio Del Toro: 'Native Americans Are the Real Americans'".
RELATED: Jimmy P. Director: "I Was Obsessed With Not Betraying the Community"
Why did you accept this role?
The director was a big issue; I read the script, and I had seen Arnaud's movies. When I talked to him, I felt he had a lot of guts to do a movie about two guys, speaking about psychoanalysis, one of them being a Native American. It was too original–usually, movies like this are about two white guys talking about their problems. That combination made me decide to make the film. Given the originality, I saw the possibility for a good movie.
When you say, "two white guys talking about their problems" — like de Niro, playing a Mafioso going through psychotherapy in Analyze This**?**
Ah yes, so funny! And The Sopranos had it too. But yes, with a Native American character, it was different, and very serious.
In the film, Jimmy Picard expresses himself with a specific phrasing, and also speaks his Native language–how did you prepare for the performance linguistically?
I worked with Marvin Weatherwax, my language coach from Browning, Montana, who was very informative, and with Alan Shaterian, my coach for years. I listened to tapes, worked a lot, repeating, listening, on and on.
Was it hard to learn Piikani?
Yes, it takes work. I listened to the tapes of Native people, doing a lot of repetition. And while you do that, you cannot think about it–either it works, or it does not.
What was it like working with a multi-cultural team?
I just see human beings–cultural differences, color, do not influence me. We do a movie, that's all. What happens there is what goes on within any relationships–an interaction between people trying to understand each other, with their specific process.
Did you know much about Native culture?
I knew a little bit. I read about their history, and I watched an interesting movie called The Exiles that Arnaud passed on to me, and I had read Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. For this movie, I read Devereux's book. It's long! But I enjoyed it, because I am interested in Jung and Freud–as an actor, you study human behavior. You are either an actor by instinct, or indirectly, by studying, to a certain extent, human beings.
You were give an Indian name–what is it?
Yes! I love my Indian name, Red Shield. And I was given its history–the Native culture is amazing–the spirituality, the history, the stories, and the concepts about the other world, the spirit world, and spiritual aspects. I found that very interesting. Also the connection with the Earth, the respect for it–it is powerful, important. The spiritual world and that relation to the Earth really struck me.
For your next role, as Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, you will need to speak in a particular way – using a Colombian accent, and slang specific to Escobar's criminal underworld.
Yes, I try! It is very different from the Puerto Rican, but the emotional feeling is similar whether Caribbean or Latin. And human beings are just human beings. As when I played Jimmy P, in the beginning, I thought, How will I play this? Well, just play it as a human being–with dignity.

Less Pain Even Though Hospital Errors: "The hospital put me in the wrong room and pain medication for my knee surgery was delayed causing terrible pain, however, I was able to get through it quite well and the nurses and doctors were impressed! Two doctors visited me and wanted to know how I managed. I told them about the audios and private session with you. You work miracles. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU"! D. P., Pgh, PA
Valerie Donaldson, M.D., Regenerative Physician. "Sanna is truly brilliant. As a medical doctor, who uses natural therapies before medications, I highly recommend Sanna Carapellotti, for patients who wish to explore emotional, mental, and spiritual elements that may be influencing a person's ability to be well and stay well. The power of the mind is no secret. When one is enlightened, healing can occur with ease, on many levels."
"No one could believe that I stopped drinking Mountain Dew! At every family function, they still buy it for me to tempt me. They were sabotaging me and in the habit of buying it for me, like you said would happen. After four get-togethers, they said, "You are really done with it!" Yes. I. Am. Liz, OH.
Kevan Barlow, 49ers, Running Back: "I appreciate all you have done to help me understand my life's journey and helping me find a better path to travel."
Aspiring Opera Singer Gets her Boost: "I'm doing amazing!!! My attitude has changed, my patience has changed, and I'm more focused and motivated. Thank you so much! You changed my life!!!" E. R., Pgh Student who was struggling with academics, 2016.
Good Morning, Sanna. I wanted to say thank you for our session yesterday. I can't quite put into words how much you have already helped both D. and me. I'm already looking at D. with new eyes and enjoying the reconnecting, hugging and getting to establish that bond with him again. I feel like a good mother and it feels good." L.P., GA.

I've always thought, as you probably do, that people should think for themselves and that it's fairly easy. You just put aside what other people are saying, examine the evidence firsthand and refrain from believing the assertions of others unless they match the evidence.
Just about everyone thinks they can think for themselves, and doesn't feel they need to learn how.
While any individual issue may be complex and difficult, the act of thinking for ourselves ITSELF is not that hard for most of us.
But I got a rude awakening recently.
I recently met several young adults who had broken away from an entire lifetime of insular, ultra-fundamentalist religious upbringing, where they were not allowed to think for themselves. They were even told what shoe to put on first in the morning! They emerged, most in their 20's, with a third grade education, unequipped to function in this society.
Who were they to question thousands of years of thinking, the rituals that would keep disasters from happening, their wise elders who had spent a lifetime studying the holy books, and their peers who all agreed that there is only one right way of thinking? Well, they did.
As I listened to the stories of these people, it became clear that their greatest act of courage was thinking for themselves when they had been told all their lives that it was a sin to question and deviate in the slightest way from their way of life.
Courageous, yes. But bravery only got them so far. Then they ran smack into reality. The needed skills. Particularly additional thinking skills beyond the skeptical questioning that liberated them. Thinking often throws one into a world of uncertainty that can be quite uncomfortable.. They now had a wide-open world of possibilities, with no way to predict the future, no way to sort it out easily, no easy answers.
Conversely, someone once said that the conclusion is where the thinking stopped.
What they needed most was guidance in how to think for themselves, how to think through the issues that were gnawing at them. Both the broad issues of forming their own belief system, and the immediate issues about how they would feed themselves.
As I thought about the challenges that they face in learning how to think for themselves, I realized that it is not self-evident how to think independently; that everyone, myself included, could use a review and some new tips in this area and that I had a lot to contribute from my thinking about thinking for so many decades.
For instance:
- How come the more I think, the more questions and uncertainty I have? What is certainty and uncertainty, the role of dogma in reducing uncertainty; alternatives that don't drive you crazy with too much data and possibility.
- What is thinking and what are the different kinds of thinking? How do you choose which kind of thinking to engage in for any given issue?
- What are the most fruitful kinds of questions and what kinds of questions inevitably lead to dead ends?
- How do you make a decision that has to be made now, when you don't have enough data and can't predict the future?
- How do you think about an area that you are unfamiliar with? (There is a way to became an almost "instant expert.")
- When everyone disagrees, how do you sort it out?
- When everyone agrees, how do you think for yourself and avoid getting roped into agreeing with prevailing nonsense?
- Who am I to disagree with people who are more educated, or more expert in a particular area?
- What's an appropriate level of skepticism? (Did you know that both extreme skeptics and gullible people easily become victims of frauds? NEITHER has developed the skills of rational evaluation!)
- What's the difference between the different kinds of analytical and creative thinking and how do they complement each other?
- The simple trick to understanding anything.
- The 7 steps followed by the greatest genius and independent mind who ever lived.
So, these are only some of the issues involved with thinking for oneself.
I think that thinking is worth thinking about. More to follow.
In the meantime, I suggest that you think about your thinking. You are obviously highly skilled in some areas or you wouldn't be reading this! What areas do you want to improve? Make a list. I'd like to hear what they are, so that I can address them. I'll make a list, too. Let's compare.
There is NOTHING more leveraged than improving one's thinking. Every great thinker that I've studied thought a lot about thinking. I don't think that it's intelligence only that makes geniuses geniuses. I think that it's thinking for themselves and not following conventional "wisdom."

2015: #260 The Journey Continues
2014: More Companies, More Changes
2013: DayofArch2013 – Continuing Changes
Thanks again to the organizers for putting this on year after year!
It seems like I'm always starting new companies and doing different things when the Day of Archaeology comes around. I think it's important to keep things fresh and interesting. Before I talk about my day it's become somewhat of a tradition with my posts to give an update of what I'm doing with my businesses. So, here it goes.
For my 2015 post I mentioned working on a couple of big projects. The one I was on at the time wrapped up in February of this year. I employed nine people over the course of the project, paid out over $250,000 in pay and per diem, surveyed 30,000 acres, recorded 165 sites, and over 2,000 isolated finds. It was quite the project and quite the year. Since then, I've focused on a few other things in this list. On the Day of Archaeology this year, however, I was preparing for four small projects that I'm doing in Elko, Nevada next week.
I'm not saying I won't do any more projects this year, but, I'm not trying very hard.
Archaeology Podcast Network
The APN has had AN AMAZING YEAR since last year's Day of Archaeology. We've added new shows and over 11,000 new monthly subscribers! That brings us to 21,000 monthly subscribers as of July! All that means more work for the few of us that are running it, though. If I wasn't so passionate about public archaeology I'd consider taking a break for a bit. EVERY SINGLE DAY there is APN stuff to do. I love it, though, so I'll keep going. A little funding wouldn't hurt, though!
Professional Certifications for Scientists
This new venture started at about the time of last year's Day of Archaeology. I brought the idea to four of my employees at the time because I thought I'd finally found a group of people that could really help this take off. I was right!
We officially launched www.pcscourses.com in April and we've got a number of videos and resources up on the website. We also have a job posting site that isn't getting much use yet, but, it will. Just need to spend more time promoting it.
Pivot Environmental
Also this year, I became a 1/3 owner in a new joint venture called Pivot Environmental. It's intended to be a full-service environmental firm like the big ones out there. However, it's owned by specialists – a biologist, an environmental planner, and me, the archaeologist. Between the three of us we figure we can get more projects than by ourselves. Still laying the ground work, but, it's promising.
Non – Archaeological Stuff
Civil Air Patrol
To add to my stress load, I accepted the position of Squadron Commander for the Reno Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol. We have about 36 adult members and over 40 cadets that range in age from 12 to 21. The CAP has three missions – Cadet Programs, Aerospace Education, and Emergency Services. I particularly enjoy the last one. Getting the call and mobilizing an aircrew and base staff for a live search and rescue makes me feel like I'm doing something that is bigger than me and give back to my community. I recommend it for everyone!
Reno Freethinkers
Finally, for the past three years I've been on the executive board of the Reno Freethinkers. We're a secular organization that attempts to bring science and rational thought to Northern Nevada. I haven't been able to do much this year, but, we have some interesting things planned for the coming months. Always busy.
Codifi – The Big One
Codifi is my primary focus right now. It's a company centered around project management software for environmental projects. We're focusing on archaeology early on, but, the architecture can be adjusted for any environmental project. We believe that archaeologists shouldn't do office work and that fieldwork can be more efficient. Codifi can reduce office work and help you record archaeological sites in a way that was not possible until now. Check out the website and check back often for some amazing updates coming in the next couple months. I traveling to Italy for the month of August to continue development with my partner that is there now. We're going to crush it!
My ACTUAL Day of Archaeology
A couple weeks ago we had a DJI Inspire Pro drone shipped for some work we want to do. I've been testing it in a variety of conditions. On today's DOA I went to the house of some friends of mine. They are an archaeological couple that has worked in Nevada for over 40 years! They have some amazing stories!
Well, on that day I helped them get some images of their property. They have been making some landscaping improvements and have tried to reduce fire fuel in critical areas. I used the Autopilot App to create transects across their property and let the drone fly the flight pattern. It automatically took pictures on an interval that gave the shots enough overlap to stitch together. Also took some amazing video.
That's pretty much it. If anyone wants to donate time or money to the APN or PCS PLEASE DO! They are both organization that I think are important for the field and help make us all better scientists and citizens.
Thanks for reading and I'll see you in the field!!

The special election for the vacant state Senate District 21 seat could have been quite controversial if it had been closer. Perhaps the result will at least provide state officials with a hint that they should be prepared for disputed election results under a new law.
The special election for the vacant state Senate District 21 seat could have been quite controversial if it had been closer. Perhaps the result will at least provide state officials with a hint that they should be prepared for disputed election results under a new law.
Since Saturday the Craighead County Election Commission has been publishing a one-third page advertisement in the classified section of The Jonesboro Sun aimed especially at voters who cast an absentee ballot in the Jan. 14 special election but failed to provide the identification required under Act 595 of 2013.
That is the law sponsored by Sen. Bryan King, R-Green Forest, and other Republicans, passed over Gov. Mike Beebe's veto on a party-line vote. (Remember the criticism of the Affordable Care Act as a partisan measure? Apparently that only matters when the other party wins.)
The law requires that anyone voting in person provide valid photo identification to poll workers and that anyone voting absentee provide photo ID or other identification, specified as a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or other government document that shows the voter's name and address.
King contended that the law was needed to combat voter fraud. Opponents said it was aimed at discouraging poor, elderly, disabled and minority citizens from voting.
The first election held under the new law uncovered a problem in dealing with absentee voters.
The state Board of Election Commissioners interpreted Act 595 as giving absentee voters one chance to submit identification with their ballot. That's pretty clear in the law, although it allows exceptions for members of the military, the spouse of a military service person on active duty or a resident of a long-term care or residential care facility.
However, Martha Adcock, an attorney for Secretary of State Mark Martin, pointed out in a letter to Craighead County Election Commission chairman Scott McDaniel of Jonesboro that another provision of the law offers a remedy for those absentee voters who fail to provide proper ID with their ballots, which are considered provisional and not counted.
Those voters have until noon on the Monday following the election to furnish proof of their identity. If they do, their ballots should be counted. Oddly, the same provision also seems to add an extra requirement for one of the exceptions, saying that a nursing home resident should provide documentation from a nursing home administrator attesting that he or she is indeed a resident.
The problem is getting word to the voters whose ballots were not counted.
Therefore, the Craighead County Election Commission went to some extra expense by placing an advertisement for "those who know or have reason to believe they failed to provide a copy of a current and valid photo identification card or a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or other government document that shows their name and address."
In the special election for Senate District 21 most of the 83 provisional ballots were cast by absentee voters. They were given an extra day to respond because Monday was a holiday, and they were told they could provide the necessary ID in person, by bearer or by fax.
Republican John Cooper of Bono defeated Democrat Steve Rockwell of Jonesboro by more than 1,000 votes so those provisional absentee ballots can't make a difference in the outcome. But that's certainly enough votes to make a difference in some elections. For example, Rockwell won the Democratic nomination by 24 votes over Radius Baker, also of Jonesboro, before Act 595 went in effect.
The section on requesting an absentee ballot on the Craighead County Web site doesn't say anything about submitting identification with the ballot. Perhaps that's done when the ballot is mailed to the voter.
To be fair, at least the problem this time was confined mostly to absentee ballots. The new law also provides for election officials to set aside as provisional the ballot of anyone who shows up at the polls without a proper photo ID, again allowing an exception for a resident of a nursing homes subject to the documentation from the home's administrator.
And the law has another set of requirements and stipulations for a first-time voter who registered by mail and wants to vote absentee.
The law is unclear enough that Adcock, in her letter dated three days after the election, resorted to quoting what King said in his testimony when presenting the bill. And the remedy provision of the law, she said, "makes no distinction between 'absentee voters,' 'early voters' or 'election-day voters.'"
Therefore, the county should "treat ALL ballots where the voter failed to provide appropriate identification as provisional and allow the voter the opportunity to provide identification to the election commission or the county clerk within the cure period."
The Legislature has produced a new law that has two state agencies providing different interpretations of key provisions, with the local commission caught in the middle. At least this special election has pinpointed some of the potential problems in time to get them fixed before this year's primaries and general election.
Our new election mantra seems to be: Every vote counts, except when it doesn't. Thank goodness we stamped out all that fraud.

The Logic of a Vegan Diet
Dear Colleagues:
As long as we eat animals and animal products, which is completely unnecessary and serves only our palate pleasure, we will continue to use animals for other clearly frivolous purposes. In other words, if you think it is okay to impose suffering and death on animals just because you like the taste of animal foods, you are not likely to think circuses, zoos, hunting, and animal clothing are morally objectionable.
Getting people to see that something that they do three times a day every day of their lives is morally objectionable is the key to opening their eyes to the immorality of all animal use.
It's really a matter of simple logic and common sense.
If you are not vegan, go vegan. It's easy; it's better for your health and for the planet. But, most important, it's the morally right thing to do.
The World is Vegan! If you want it.

So you want a stupidly large television? Do you want to pay a pittance for it? Who doesn't? TCL has returned in 2013 with a very big TV that offers decent-but-no-better image quality. The design of this TV is the biggest change over last year's model, with its thin bezel providing a very attractive look for a budget television.
The visuals haven't changed much, though. Color is a little improved albeit still not great, but loss of shadow detail is a worse problem in anything but very dark scenes. But if you don't think on it too hard, what you get is a very punchy image. Decent sound quality is also an unexpected bonus.
At this price you can get a better TV, namely the 50-inch Panasonic S60 plasma, but it's nowhere near as impressive in size. To get a comparable size from a "name" brand you're going to need to pay many hundreds of dollars more, so the TCL offers very good value on this metric alone.
Series information: I performed a hands-on evaluation of the 58-inch LE58FHDE3010. This review does not apply to the 50-inch LE50FHDE3010 because that TV uses an edge-lit LED backlight rather than the 58-incher's direct LED backlight.
The look of the new TCL is reminiscent of the E-series from Vizio, with a very slim bezel surrounding the screen. It's quite an attractive look, especially when compared with the 1-inch-thick bezel of last year's TCL TVs. However, the direct LED backlight means that the TV is a lot chunkier when seen from the side than edge-lit LED LCD televisions.
The TV is attached to a black stand with a glass-topped base. Unfortunately this display doesn't swivel, but that's hardly to be expected for the money.
The remote control is the same model we've seen from the company twice before; it's a chubby black wand with a friendly look and a decently ergonomic feel.
While on the topic of friendly looks, the TV has updated its menu system to include simple pictographs of inputs and settings. It's reasonably easy to navigate and use.
|Key TV features
|Display technology
|LED backlight
|Screen finish
|Glossy, matte
|Smart TV
|Internet connection
|3D technology
|3D glasses included
|Refresh rate(s)
|Dejudder (smooth) processing
While this television is the "top" of TCL's line -- aside from the 110-inch 4K China Star -- the LE58FHDE3010 is pretty light on features. There's no Internet connectivity, so no Smart TV or DLNA networking. But there are a few concessions to modernity with the inclusion of an MHL port and a USB port for pictures and music playback. The MHL port will come in especially handy if you have a Roku Streaming Stick as it will instantly upgrade the TCL to a Smart TV. We plugged in the Stick and found it easy to navigate the Roku menus with the TCL remote, though the slightly spongy buttons did make text entry a little laborious.
The panel itself is a 120Hz LCD with direct LED backlighting. Unlike some so-called 120Hz LCDs, from Vizio and Toshiba for example, this one does offer the smoothing Soap Opera Effect and improved motion resolution.
Picture settings: From a basic television you need to expect a basic set of controls, but the TCL takes it to the extreme. For example -- and this is pretty weird -- unlike every other TV on the market there is no "color" setting. Miraculously, its color turned out to be OK, but this is still unusual.
Advanced controls are nonexistent, and you can only really choose between a handful of modes and adjust brightness and contrast. Like many televisions in this price range though, the TCL jumps right to Personal when you make any adjustments. The smoothing mode is called MEMC (motion estimation motion compensation), and it has just a simple on/off toggle.
Click the image at the right to see the picture settings used in the review and to read more about how this TV's picture controls worked during calibration.
Connectivity: The E3010 offers up three HDMI ports with MHL compatibility, in addition to component, composite, VGA, and a digital optical output. There is also the aforementioned USB port.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) At some point, this much success should have brought joy, or at the very least, a deep sense of satisfaction. It's only made Nick Saban chase each win more relentlessly than the last.
If nothing else, it will be interesting to see him try to top this one.
Alabama's Crimson Tide slipped on the BCS crown for the third time in the last four years Monday night, crushing Notre Dame 42-14 and almost as impressively, forcing a wide grin from its sometimes dour and always serious coach. Small wonder. The win was Saban's fourth national championship, which left him tied with Notre Dame's Frank Leahy for second on The Associated Press' all-time list, and behind only Paul ``Bear'' Bryant, the most famed of his predecessors at Alabama.
``I'm satisfied with this team because of what they accomplished,'' Saban said afterward.
But he has a rule that celebrations are cut short after 48 hours - and despite the biggest of wins - a rule is a rule.
``Two days from now,'' Saban said without a hint of humor, ``we got to start on next year.''
The weekend before the championship, more than a few people wondered whether Saban might finally open up, the way Urban Meyer did while still coaching at Florida a while back, the way some of his peers have when their legacy, like Saban's, was secured. Saban did - just not the way most expected.
He began with a story about inheriting his uncompromising work ethic from a father that he and everyone else in their tucked-away corner of West Virginia always called ``Big Nick.''
``There was a bum that used to come to my dad's service station early in the morning because he'd give him free coffee and doughnuts,'' Saban said. ``We had had a tough game the night before, I don't remember whether it was basketball game, a football game or whatever. The guy was giving me a hard time and I sort of sassed him. I was 17 years old. I got the strap right on the spot.
``It was the right thing,'' he added quickly. ``I needed to learn a lesson. I was disrespectful to an older person, regardless of the situation.''
Saban rarely comes off as a man who speaks from the heart. More often, he sounds like someone cobbling together bits and pieces culled from a shelf's worth of books on motivational speaking, which Saban, not surprisingly, has turned into a lucrative sideline. Maybe that's what made that story he told about his father seem even more revealing when the subject came up a day later.
This time, the lesson was not about respect, but about always striving for ``a standard of excellence, a perfection.'' Saban recalled being 11 years old, already working at that same service station by then. His responsibilities ran the gamut from pumping gas and collecting the cash to checking the oil and tires, and finally, washing the cars.
``I hated the navy blue and black cars, because when you wiped them off, the streaks were hard to get out. And if there were any streaks when he came,'' Saban paused, referring to ``Big Nick'' again, ``you had to do it over.''
Sports is not the only place where the father-son dynamic ignites a spark of ambition that grows and grows until it becomes a consuming flame. And there are men like Saban atop every profession. They clamber up the ladder without regard for consequences, treating each job like an audition for the next one. His story is instructive that way.
Saban played defensive back at Kent State, despite standing only 5-foot-6, and the determination he showed won him a job as a graduate assistant there in 1972. Next came a half-dozen more stops as an assistant - including a season with the NFL's Houston Oilers - before Saban landed his first head-coaching job at Toledo in 1990. He brought the school a Mid-American Conference title in his only season there, bailing out to become defensive coordinator with the NFL's Cleveland Browns under then-coach Bill Belichick.
In the ensuing 15 years, Saban burned through three more jobs, each one good enough to be considered a ``destination'' among his peers - first Michigan State, then LSU, where he won his first national title, and finally with the Miami Dolphins. Instead of feeling like he'd arrived, Saban remained restless in a way the rest of us are not. After two years, including his first losing season as a head coach, he flat-out denied he was leaving for the vacant job at Alabama - and then lit out for Tuscaloosa three weeks later.
That was 2007, and Saban is still there six seasons later, longer than his tenure lasted anywhere else. He's been so successful he not only owns the town and the state; he's even won over the fans and alumni who used to insist no coach deserved the Crimson Tide job without a connection to Bryant. Some of the most stubborn have made that connection themselves now, mentioning Saban in the same sentence with Bryant, and adding the ``D-word (dynasty)'' at the end that was once reserved for Bryant as well.
For his part, Saban has sunk roots in Tuscaloosa, even relocating the ``Nick's Kids Fund'' charity he and wife Terry set up more than a decade ago. It's actually named for ``Big Nick,'' the blue-collar taskmaster and former Pop Warner League coach who taught his son never to take on a job unless he intended to do it right.
Judged by winning percentage, he's certainly done right by nearly every team that hired him. The only remorse he feels is not having figured it out in time to tell ``Big Nick'' thanks.
``Probably when I was a senior in college, that's probably when I realized it. And my first year of graduate school was when he passed away. I never really ever told him,'' Saban said, ``which I regret.''

Liberals and the Use of Violent Rhetoric: Sticks and Stones to Follow?BY Glen Tschirgi
9 years, 3 months ago
Peter Berkowitz has an insightful column in the The Wall Street Journal.
He points out the inherent contradiction between the beliefs professed by the Left (tolerance, respect for diversity, the betterment of humanity) and their increasingly vicious rhetoric.
The voters' message [from the 2010 elections] was clear: Cut spending, compel the government to live within its means, and put Americans back to work. In short, the president and his party badly overreached in 2009 and 2010; and in 2011 the Republicans, to the extent their numbers in Congress allowed, have effectively pushed back.
But that's not how progressives have tended to see things. They have ferociously attacked congressional Republicans, particularly those closely associated with the tea party movement, with something approaching hysteria.
Consider the unabashed incivility of progressive criticism, its tone dictated from the top. During and after the budget negotiations, we heard that tea party representatives were content with "blowing up our government" (Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne). Then came accusations that "Tea Party Republicans have waged jihad on the American people" (New York Times columnist Joe Nocera), while acting like "a maniacal gang with knives held high" (New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd). At the height of negotiations, Vice President Biden either said, or agreed with House Democrats with whom he was meeting who said, that Congressional Republicans "have acted like terrorists."
How often they have haughtily lectured the nation on the vital importance of civility in public discourse, the urgency of constraining executive power under law, and the need for impartial expertise in public affairs to pragmatically weigh competing public-policy options. But in the debt-limit debate the virtues they profess could hardly have been more spectacularly absent.
The evident panic of the progressive mind stems from a paradox as old as progressivism in America. Progressives see themselves as the only legitimate representatives of ordinary people. Yet their vision of what democracy requires frequently conflicts with what majorities believe and how they choose to live.
Add to this the progressive belief that human beings can be perfected through the rule of experts, and you have a recipe—when the people make choices contrary to progressive dictates—for generating contempt among the experts for the people whose interests they claim to alone represent. And not just contempt, but even disgust at diversity of opinion, which from the progressive's perspective distracts the people from the policies demanded by impartial reason.
The progressive mind is on a collision course with itself. The clash between its democratic pretensions and its authoritarian predilections has generated within its ranks seething resentment for, and rage at, conservatives. Unless progressives cultivate the enlightened virtues they publicly profess and free themselves from the dogmatic beliefs that undergird their political ambitions, we can expect even more harrowing outbursts to come.
Mr. Berkowitz's analysis could not be more correct, in so far as it goes. The problem is that it does not go far enough.
When he writes that "we can expect even more harrowing outbursts to come" he is (consciously or not) pulling his punches. Words, after all, are just words. The old "sticks and stones" proverb comes to mind. There is, then, nothing "harrowing" about what these Leftists have to say. The real trouble is that this type of vituperation too often leads to corresponding action. That would be the "sticks and stones can break my bones" part of the equation. This is where Berkowitz should have gone with his "harrowing" comment. Because the real, and deeper, contradiction with Liberals and Leftists is that they do not stop at name-calling when their utopian visions of reform at the hands of their elitist programs are resisted.
The lesson of the 20th century is clearly that Leftist visionaries were not averse at "breaking a few eggs" in order to make the proverbial omelette. Bolshevism, Communism, Fascism, Socialism and even Islamism all seek to subvert the individual to a mindless, communal creature. If that means gulags, re-education camps, mass starvation and even genocide, that is a price that the Left has always been willing to pay.
And this is where the rhetoric of Democrats and their Leftist enablers is leading. And that is truly "harrowing." How long did it take after the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords before the Left was engaging in the violent rhetoric that they claimed should be out of bounds in the aftermath of the shooting? Months? Weeks? Days?
The point is that the philosophy of the Left is incompatible with freedom because its sole criteria is to gain power over others and reform them whether the subject wants to be reformed or not. They are the true Don Corleone who make an offer that society cannot refuse. Because they are without a moral foundation to constrain them, every tool of coercion and compulsion is available to them. Deceit, flattery, subterfuge, blackmail, intimidation, violent rhetoric and— finally– actual, physical force.
Recall the rhetoric of the Left during George W. Bush's presidency. Beyond ridiculous comparisons of Bush to Adolph Hitler, there were more than a few Liberals openly calling for Bush's assassination. The vehemence of those days was palpable. Now, 3 years later, despite having control of the White House and the Senate, the Left is again reaching frenzied levels of calumny. What do you suppose will happen if the Left loses the Senate and White House in 2012? Does anyone think that the Left will respect the results of that election any more than they have respected the results of 2010?
Thankfully the Left is a minority in this country, perhaps some 21% of the population according to one Gallup poll and, according to this same poll, outnumber Liberals in every state except Washington, D.C. (big surprise). But this is not grounds for complacency or comfort. This minority of people are extremely well organized and occupy a disproportionate share of the positions of power in government, academia, media and entertainment. In short, this minority holds the levers of power and propaganda in their hands. Combine this power with their philosophy to do whatever it takes to cement and expand their power and the new social media that allows mobs to gather literally in an instant and there is considerable damage that the Left can do. And do not think that they will hesitate to resort to violence. They already have in Wisconsin when their union power was challenged by a duly elected majority in the State house.
How will the rest of us respond? Time to start thinking that through, very seriously.

When you have chicken nearly every single day of your life, you crave change. Since red meat isn't that healthy to eat too often, I turned to the "other white meat", pork.
Yesterday I threw some boneless pork chops in my slow roaster to cook up some scrumptious garlic and parm chops – and OMG! They were not only super tasty, they practically fell apart they were so tender.
Garlic Parm Chops
6 Pork Chops
1/3 a stick of butter or margarine
1 finely sliced onion
1-2 tablespoons minced garlic (or garlic powder)
1 Packet of Instant Soup (onion or cream of chicken, optional)
1 Cup of Water
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Salt to taste
I mixed the water and the soup mix for the liquid base. Then I placed the pork chops and onion into a slow roaster. Lastly, I added the butter and all the seasonings on top.
I cooked it on 325 for about 1 1/2 – 2 hours. I stopped to taste it, and dusted more salt, onion powder (I would have added garlic powder, but i only had minced garlic) and parmesan on top. Then, I cooked it for a few more minutes allowing the flavors to settle in. The end result was pork chops that not only were tasty, but they practically fell apart when I picked them up. TOTALLY YUM!
It's not quite as good as garlic and parmesan chicken wings, but it's pretty darn close! Hmmm, that makes me think! I bet dipping it in blue cheese or ranch dressing would be good!! Forget I said that! Baaaad Bonnie! Baaaad!

Effect size within 24 hours after a single dose was nearly double the effect size seen with most other antidepressant drugs after four to six weeks of repeated dosing.
A first-of-its-kind antidepressant drug discovered by a Northwestern University professor and now tested in a 12-site phase IIa trial on adults who have failed other antidepressant therapies has been shown to alleviate symptoms within hours, have good safety, and produce positive effects that last for about seven days from a single dose. (A 20-site phase IIb trial now underway is studying the effect of repeated doses.)
The novel therapeutic targets brain receptors responsible for learning and memory – a very different approach from existing antidepressants. The new drug and others like it also could be helpful in treating other neurological conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety and Alzheimer's disease.
The compound, called GLYX-13, is the result of more than two decades of work by Joseph Moskal, PhD, research professor of biomedical engineering at Northwestern. On Dec 3, the journal Neuropsychopharmacology published a paper describing some of the research underlying the clinical development of GLYX-13. And on Dec 6 Prof Moskal presented the results of the recent trial to members of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology at their annual meeting in Hollywood, FL.
"Our study showed that this compound is capable of eliciting a robust and rapid antidepressant effect without the typical side effects seen with other drugs that also modulate the NMDA receptor," says Dr. Moskal, who is founder and chief scientific officer of the Evanston, IL-based biotechnology company Naurex Inc., which conducted the clinical study. (Northwestern has granted to Naurex exclusive licensing of the intellectual property rights related to the therapeutics Dr. Moskal developed while at the University, and has a small equity position in Naurex.)
GLYX-13 works by modulating the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor in the brain, as do current NMDA receptor antagonists such as ketamine, but GLYX-13 does not have their serious and limiting side effects, such as hallucinations and schizophrenia-like effects. (An antagonist is a substance that inhibits the physiological action of another.)
Dr. Moskal and his team have figured out a new way to target the NMDA receptors that maintains the positive antidepressant properties while eliminating the negative side effects.
In clinical trials administered at 12 sites across the country, a single dose of GLYX-13 resulted in significant reductions in depression symptoms among subjects who had shown little improvement with previous drugs. (Subjects had failed treatment with one or more antidepressant agents.)

The positive effects of GLYX-13 were evident within 24 hours and lasted an average of seven days.
The effect size, a measure of the magnitude of the drug's antidepressant efficacy, at both these times after a single dose was nearly double the effect size seen with most other antidepressant drugs after four to six weeks of repeated dosing.
Side effects of GLYX-13 were mild to moderate and were consistent with those observed in subjects receiving a placebo.
GLYX-13 is a four-amino acid peptide that modulates one of a large family of glutamate receptors, the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor, in the brain. NMDA receptors play a key role in regulating synaptic plasticity – the quality of the connection between neurons – and thus are important in regulating learning and memory functions.
GLYX-13 is currently administered intravenously, but Naurex is now working on an oral drug with similar properties and potential, Dr. Moskal says.
Further, he says, it is his hope that these positive GLYX-13 results and the research efforts of his team and colleagues will help shepherd in more research and grant support for studying the role of the glutamate-mediated processes in neuropsychiatric disorders.
"While the results we are seeing with GLYX-13 are very encouraging, I believe the most important research is yet to come," he adds. "We have only scratched the surface of the therapeutic potential of the glutamatergic system."
GLYX-13 currently is undergoing a phase IIb clinical trial at 20 sites across the United States. This trial is evaluating repeated doses of the drug.

|Crocuses in the lawn
Here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden in central Indiana, Spring has cracked open the garden gate and taken a few tentative steps into the garden.
First to arrive were the snowdrops, of course. Then the race was on between the crocuses and the reticulated irises.
This year the crocuses won, in particular Crocus tommasinianus, affectionately called Tommies.
Many of the crocuses are in the back lawn now. They actually showed up earlier in the week when it was suddenly warm.
I think if I had stood there long enough, I could have caught one popping up and blooming.
|Crocus on Monday, March 10
|Crocus on Thursday, March 13
|Crocus on March 14
The first of the Iris reticulata showed up this week, too, just in time for bloom day.

I like to consider myself as a Heritage Management Consultant and sometimes even a Museum Designer. This morning for work (of course) I visited the Royal Museum which was just opened today by the National Museum of Scotland. The museum has been closed for about 3 years now and has been undergoing a £47 million renovation and reinterpretation. The important thing to say is that my firm Jura Consultants helped them with their redevelopment master-plan and supported them in their HLF bid for funding. Most projects that we're involved in take quite a bit of time to come to fruition so it's amazing to be able to see the designs you saw on paper become reality and experience the fruits of your labour.
And what a fantastic experience it is! There were thousands of people lining Chambers Street at 9am waiting for the doors to open. We had an animatronic T Rex, tribal drummers, aerial dancers abseiling from the roof, and fireworks. A great atmosphere indeed. The entrance has now been diverted from the main staircase to two street level entrances that lead into the undercroft. Here is a really spectacular and dramatic space. Once used for storage, the space has been converted into a visitor reception area that includes and information desk, cloak room, gift shop, toilets and a new Brasserie. From the dimly lit space, you then ascend into the light-filled Grand Gallery that seems almost like a birdcage with all the iron work. This is meant to be a 'cabinet of curiosities' that entices visitors with an array of different and wondrous objects. Beyond this space is an escalator that takes you up to the very top floor, allowing visitors to work their way down. This is an interesting feature and an important one as previous research found that only 5% of visitors made it beyond the ground floor. The other controversial move was to put the museum café on the first floor. But I think it's one of those things that if you build it they will come.
It was quite clear that the animal gallery was the most popular. Jammed packed with people, prams and exotic animals. The incorporation of video screens with hanging oceanic creatures is quite something to behold. Other galleries include world cultures, design, nature inspired objects, Egyptians, sculpture, and decorative objects. I think the one thing that stands out is the lighting. It certainly adds to the atmosphere and creates distinctly different experiential areas. The colour scheme works really well too, using jewel tones to delineate thematic areas.
I think though, my favourite thing about today was observing the other patrons around me. One little boy asked why fish die, referring to a display in the animal galleries relating to environmental issues such as pollution, poaching etc. His mother responded with 'because some people don't recycle'. Another woman remarked about her disappointment with the Egyptians. 'Liverpool has a mummy but there's no mummy here.' The same goes for the way people begin to use the space. We weren't in the door 5 minutes and there were already people lined up for the café. There was a pram car park that started in one corner and people were sitting on display plinths and touching objects (hopefully this was the intention). I think what it reflects is that visitors are comfortable in the space, are able to read the space properly and that the museum has been a catalyst for conversation.
A truly great morning! I encourage everyone to make a trip themselves.

Everyone -
No formal planning has been done on my part yet, but I just got the welcome email for the UC Davis 2016 Picnic Day. This will be the 102nd Picnic Day, on Saturday April 16th.
Save the date so you can be sure to come out and join the fun! I am really hoping we can get to my long time (has it really been 5 years already?) goal of 10 cars. We are the highlight of the parade and its a super fun and relaxing day.
I also posted this to the NCDMC mailing list, but please feel free to pass this on to any owners I might have missed. Also, absolutely feel free to ask any questions you might have here if you're a first timer!

Watch Steph Curry gets crushed in a shooting contest - by his coach
Here's something you don't see every day.
Warriors sharpshooter Stephen Curry is the NBA's runaway leader in 3-pointers this season. He's hit 27 more than Damian Lillard (who's in second place), and last season Curry broke the NBA record for most threes in a season with 272.
But even the best in the business have off days.
Following practice in Indianapolis on Monday, Curry got upstaged by his head coach, former all-star point guard Mark Jackson, who made more than 700 treys during his own 17-year NBA career.

Adaptable Design for Life
For technical information about Lifetime Homes including the 16 Design Criteria. Find out more...
Accessible, inclusive, flexible and sustainable, find out more about people whose lives benefit from the design features of their Lifetime Home.
The Lifetime Homes standard is a set of 16 design criteria that provide a model for building accessible and adaptable homes.
A wider parking space improves access to and from a vehicle for a wide range of people.
A car parking space close to the home and a level or gently sloping footpath
makes getting between the home and the car convenient and easy.
Using a level or gently sloping approach to the home avoids the access difficulties that steps can present.
A level threshold gives easy access to everybody - wheelchair users, parents with children's buggies, bikes and toys, older people, people with shopping, young children and is generally safer when entering or leaving a house.
Narrow stairs can limit access to other floors in a home or between homes - wider, shallower stairs (easy going) are easier to climb and for some people a lift may be more convenient.
As a measurement, if a wheelchair user can approach and use a door, most other people with or without reduced mobility, can.
Basic wheelchair access throughout the property is not only essential should this need arise, but also creates sufficient space for other households and as a space standard.
An entrance level living room provides an accessible space to socialise with the household for any visitor regardless of their level of mobility.
The potential for an entrance level bed space is very useful if a member of the household is temporarily unable to access other levels of the house.
Providing drainage for a future accessible shower means that accessible washing facilities for the household, should they need it, is a simple and low-cost adaptation.
Bathroom and cloakroom walls should be strong enough to support grab rail and other fixings if these adaptations are required.
An invisible knock out panel is a simple way to allow a through floor lift to be installed, as an alternative to a stair lift, should the household require it.
The potential structure for a ceiling tracking hoist makes it easy to install should it be needed. If mobility is reduced due to illness or disability it is particularly helpful to have the bedroom and bathroom close to one another.
Bathrooms require a certain amount of space to be functional; cramped, inaccessible conditions prevent efficient use of the facilities. Space either in front of or beside WC facilities are essential for ease of access.
Window control is essential for ventilation and temperature control. Handles and windows at a usable height improves access to window controls and a low cill in the living room ensures a view for people at sitting-height.
Sockets, switches and controls used on a day to day basis by the household located at heights that are not too high, or too low, to be reached comfortably by any potential occupant of the home.
6th July 2016

This years Decorex event was again spectacular. Set in the grounds of the picturesque Royal Chelsea Hospital and housing some of the globe's most exquisite interiors, luxury fabric stalls and future trend setters.
The marquee was bustling with designers, suppliers and business folk perusing each stand for something to take their fancy.
One area that certainly took the biscuit was the entrance. Designed by legendary British Interior Designer Nicky Haslam, the space was made to resemble a serene underwater bedroom and study.
Dainty 3D flowers lined the walls, silver silk and velvet fabrics draped over the bed which was set inside a giant oyster shell, positioned in between two large statues. The floors were scattered with sea shells and a vintage film was projected behind the desk accompanied by soft Jazz music.
As a Decorex Blogger runner up, I was invited by Decorex to be involved in a special tweet-up gathering at the event where I met fellow bloggers from the design world and those involved in Blogtour2011 who had travelled over from America.
Just before the tweet-up was about to start, all the bloggers had the rare opportunity to meet Nicky Haslam himself in the Press Room and engage in a short question and answer session.
He sat with everyone for around half an hour sharing his experiences, design tips and advice. The group were hooked and I could see the severe disappointment in their faces when the time came for him to go. But not before a few pictures of course!
Then it was up and onwards to the tweet-up which was a huge success. It was fantastic to converse with other bloggers and be able to exchange tips and experiences. Although, I did have an embarrassing moment when I was asked what my "Twitter handle" was and I replied with, "sorry what's that?". So, I'm not as techi savvy as I thought, but on the upside I've learned a number of new tricks and terms from the bloggers across the pond. Thank you guys!
Among the top designs of the day for me, were a collection of stunning circle lights made by French company Le Deun Luminaires. The thin handmade lights are made from energy efficient LED's which last for over 800,000 hours and don't get hot whilst turned on. Believe me I tested them!
Another great find I know will be popular with the boys, is Billiard Room Ltd. They had two rather exciting tables on show at the event. One which looked like it had been beamed down from space, with it's hollow centre, sleek white outer shell and bright orange felt lining. The other, lay on top of a metal grille base with neon blue lights fitted underneath and a steel brushed border along the table top. I hear footballers running!
There are of course many more exciting designs that I'd love to include but would simply spoil it for those who will be trotting along later this week.

Report: Frank Haith expected to be named in NCAA notice
Incident stems from Haith's days at University of Miami
University of Missouri basketball coach Frank Haith is expected to be charged with unethical conduct and failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance in an NCAA notice due out soon, CBSSports.com reported Monday.
The allegations, which date from Haith's days as basketball coach for the Miami Hurricanes, could result in a multiyear show-cause penalty against Haith. In the past, similar penalties have resulted in suspensions and have ultimately cost the coaches their jobs.
The case involves former Miami booster Nevin Shapiro, who is currently in prison for carrying out a Ponzi scheme. Shapiro told Yahoo Sports that he gave thousands of dollars in cash and benefits to athletes at the University of Miami over an eight-year period. The CBSSports.com report said the NCAA couldn't prove Shapiro's claim that Haith paid an athlete's family, but it also didn't think Haith's version of the story was true.
The report said the NCAA notice could be released as early as this week. Parties involved in the case would have about three months to respond and likely face a hearing before an infractions committee over the summer.
Haith is in his second full season as coach of the Missouri Tigers.
His attorney, Michael L. Buckner, released the following statement on Tuesday:
"Until my client, Frank Haith, receives a notice of allegations from the NCAA, the CBSSports.com report is premature. The NCAA's investigation in the University of Miami enforcement case is ongoing. Thus, if the NCAA had completed its inquiry, then Coach Haith would have received a notice of allegations. However, as of the morning of January 22, 2013, Coach Haith has not received the notice of allegations. Any speculation or information attributed to anonymous sources cannot be relied on until the NCAA makes a final decision on the evidence and issues the notice to the University of Miami and any other persons at-risk in the case. It is unfortunate that CBSSports.com's unnamed source believed violating the NCAA confidentiality rules was worthwhile. The report did not advance anyone's interests (except the source's) and is making a mockery of what is supposed to be a fair process. Nevertheless, based on the testimony of my client, the media reports of other persons' statements and the voluminous records we shared with the NCAA, any allegations asserted by Nevin Shapiro against my client cannot be supported."

Undocumented students seek financial aid
HARTFORD -- Junior Sierra thought he had won a $20,000 scholarship to attend Quinnipiac University in Hamden, but the school pulled the money after learning Sierra is an undocumented resident.
"I can't claim (the scholarship) even though I came to this country at age 6," said Sierra, 18, of Norwalk.
Sierra is also not eligible for state institutional aid, which is drawn from tuition paid by all students and set aside for poorer students. Neither can he tap traditional forms of college assistance, such as federally backed loans and financial aid.
Sierra and about 20 other members of CT Students for a DREAM came to the Capitol on Tuesday for a rally and private meeting with Gov. Dannel P. Malloy in an effort to convince the governor to use his executive authority to include undocumented students among those eligible for institutional aid.
Malloy met privately with six students, but they ultimately walked away disappointed after the governor declined to issue the requested order and instead only promised to look into the issue.
"He refused to take action, but said he wants more information on what other states are doing," said Lucas Codognolla, a lead coordinator for CT Students for a DREAM and a Stamford resident.
"We will send him the information and hold him accountable," he said.
Andrew Doba, Malloy's spokesman, said the meeting was "productive" and the governor is a "leader on increasing educational opportunities."
"We are happy to listen and will get some documents for a path forward," Doba said. "We are looking for more information."
Officials close to the governor said lawyers for the state university system maintain current law does not allow the state to grant institutional aid to undocumented students. Only the Legislature could change the policy, they said.
The students said their research has shown that institutional aid, which totals 15 percent of tuition paid to state schools, can be given to any student in need, including an estimated 1,000 undocumented students.
Students at the rally said they struggle to work part-time jobs to pay for some college classes. They said a small amount of financial aid would allow them to take more classes and graduate sooner. Most said they have been living in the U.S. since they were children, yet cannot obtain legal citizenship.
Carolina Bortolleto, of Danbury, who graduated from Western Connecticut State University in Danbury without financial aid and now works with CT Students for a DREAM, said the problem will only be resolved by new immigration laws.
"That's a bigger fight," Bortolleto said. "But we can change the way it's allocated at the state level."
Faye Phillips, a 25 year-old undocumented Stamford resident, said "my type of undocumented status hit me like a ton of bricks."
"I would have graduated from college and be living the American dream by now," she said. "But I am not. I work 20 hours a week and want to finish college, but I question if I can."

West Chicago schools among many dealing with labor discord
A West Chicago elementary school district's declaration that contract talks have stalled underscores the labor unrest that has been prevalent in teacher negotiations in the suburbs this fall.
District 33 teachers said Tuesday they plan to makes their voices heard at the next school board meeting, then march through downtown West Chicago. This follows an announcement by the school board Monday night that teachers and administrators were at an impasse after 14 months of negotiations.
The board's declaration effectively sets a one-week deadline for each side to submit their final offers to the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board, which would then wait another seven days before making the proposals public on its website, www2.illinois.gov/elrb.
While a strike vote in West Chicago is not yet being discussed, the suburbs have been rife with threatened or actual teacher strikes. At least eight teachers unions in the state filed intent-to-strike notices. Six resulted in teachers walking out, mostly in the suburbs, and most recently in Carpentersville-based District 300 on Tuesday -- though that district's teachers are returning to work Wednesday after a deal was reached Tuesday night.
The longest strike, nine days, occurred in Evergreen Park, followed by Chicago Public Schools, where teachers were off the job for seven days. One-day strikes took place in the Crystal Lake and Highland Park school systems, in addition now to District 300. Meanwhile, strike notices have been filed and talks continue in Barrington Unit District 220 and Grayslake Elementary District 46.
Workplace observers have suggested teachers were reluctant to make much noise about contracts after the latest recession. But after four years of austerity, school leaders may be seeing pent-up frustration among teachers, while school boards are determined to hold the line on expenses.
In West Chicago, the two sides have been unable to reach agreement on salaries, retirement plans and insurance benefits. Also still on the table are issues involving class sizes, teacher workloads and the length of teachers' work days. Both sides asked for a federal mediator to enter the talks in September and have met a handful of times since, most recently on Nov. 28 and then again Monday.
Mary Catherine Kosmach, the union's chief negotiator, stressed Tuesday the board acted alone in declaring the impasse Monday night. She said the board approached the union with three major bargaining items that day and "we moved on two of them, but they would not move on the third."
She said she would not discuss details of the talks until the first meeting with her membership Wednesday, and possibly not even then.
School board President Christine Scheck said the board is "open to continue talking with the teachers union to explore options," but no additional talks have been scheduled.
Scheck said the board elected to declare an impasse because "we felt we couldn't go any further in negotiations. ... We felt we made a fair offer based on our revenues."
In a written statement, Scheck said "the challenges we are confronting have nothing to do with how much we value our teachers. It has everything to do with what we can afford."
Scheck said the district is "facing serious economic difficulties, driven by the serious budget problems that the State of Illinois is encountering. We have already made substantial program cuts. We have reduced administrative personnel and negotiated concessions with other bargaining units. We are committed to an agreement that is good for students, fair to teachers and fiscally responsible to the community."
Kosmach, meanwhile, said the union is "extremely disappointed" by the board's decision, which she called an "unnecessary action that will only further divide us and make it even harder to reach a fair agreement."
She said the union has offered "economic concessions that would guarantee significant long-term savings for the district in salary and retirement costs. Instead, she said, the board has rejected those offers and continues to make essentially the same radical demands it started with.
"We are very frustrated by a school board that is insisting on harsh and unnecessary take-aways on insurance, retirement and salary -- cuts which are way too deep and divisive."
She declined to discuss the possibility of any job action.
"Our teachers are working at 100 percent effort," she said. "We're doing everything we're supposed to be doing and will continue to do so until we get a contract."
The most recent pact for the district's 284 teachers, a four-year contract, expired Aug. 30. Negotiators for both sides said they were far apart in September when they called for a mediator and there has been little progress since.
District 33 serves roughly 4,000 students at six elementary schools, one middle school and a preschool that meets at two locations.
