Written by one of America's leading political thinkers, this is a book about the good, the bad, and the ugly of identity politics.Amy Gutmann rises above the raging polemics that often characterize discussions of identity groups and offers a fair-minded assessment of the role they play in democracies. She addresses fundamental questions of timeless urgency while keeping in focus their relevance to contemporary debates: Do some identity groups undermine the greater democratic good and thus their own legitimacy in a democratic society? Even if so, how is a democracy to fairly distinguish between groups such as the KKK on the one hand and the NAACP on the other? Should democracies exempt members of some minorities from certain legitimate or widely accepted rules, such as Canada's allowing Sikh members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to wear turbans instead of Stetsons? Do voluntary groups like the Boy Scouts have a right to discriminate on grounds of sexual preference, gender, or race?
Identity-group politics, Gutmann shows, is not aberrant but inescapable in democracies because identity groups represent who people are, not only what they want--and who people are shapes what they demand from democratic politics. Rather than trying to abolish identity politics, Gutmann calls upon us to distinguish between those demands of identity groups that aid and those that impede justice. Her book does justice to identity groups, while recognizing that they cannot be counted upon to do likewise to others.
Clear, engaging, and forcefully argued, Amy Gutmann's Identity in Democracy provides the fractious world of multicultural and identity-group scholarship with a unifying work that will sustain it for years to come.
"Typically, discussions of identity politics in American life are tinged with vitriol. Gutmann's book, by contrast, calms the debate with an unflappably reasonable analysis. . . . She argues that, since humans are social creatures, identity politics is a permanent fixture of the political landscape."--The New Yorker
"There is much to admire in this book. It is clearly written, deploys interesting and topical examples, and is accessible without losing important nuance and careful insight."--Margaret Moore, Political Science Quarterly
"Although Gutmann writes as a philosopher, her text is accessible to the nonspecialist interested in analyzing core issues of diversity, identity, and community. . . . Gutmann's analysis of identity groups is instructive to those who seek a more complex understanding of the tensions between expressions of individual identities and the creation of an equitable community."--Kristen A. Renn, Academe
Identity groups occupy an uneasy place in democracy. Critics emphasize how much group identities constrain rather than liberate individuals. When people are identified as black or white, male or female, Irish or Arabic, Catholic or Jew, deaf or mute, they are stereotyped by race, gender, ethnicity, religion, and disability and denied a certain individuality that comes of their own distinctive character and freedom to affiliate as they see fit. When individuals themselves identify racially, ethnically, or religiously as a consequence of being identified with groups, they often develop hostilities toward other groups and a sense of superiority over them. Groups frequently vie against one another in uncompromising ways, sacrificing justice and even peace for vindicating their superiority as a group.
If critics told the whole story, we would have little reason to doubt that identity groups are up to no good from a democratic perspective. Defenders of identity politics point out some of the problems with the critics' image of the autonomous, self-made person who neither identifies nor is identified with groups. Without any group identities, defenders of group identity say individuals are atomistic, notautonomous. Group identities help individuals have a more secure sense of self and social belonging. Moreover, group identity propels women and disadvantaged minorities to counteract inherited negative stereotypes, defend more positive self-images, and develop respect for members of their groups.
What the defenders and critics of identity groups have to say is significant, but each captures only part of the relationship between identity groups and democratic politics. The relationship is far more complex yet no less important than that suggested by these and other common defenses and critiques of identity politics. People identify with others by ethnicity, race, nationality, culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation, class, disability, age, ideology, and other social markers. No single group identity or even all group identities taken together comprehend the whole of a person, yet a commonly shared identification around any of the above characteristics of a person often leads to a group identity. Group identities are as abundant in democracies as they are controversial. Politically significant associations that attract people because of their mutual identification are aptly called identity groups.
Were it not for the mutual identification of individuals with one another, there would be no identity groups. Although mutual identification is basic to human existence, it has been neglected in democratic theory, where the language of "interest" and "interest groups" (soon to be discussed), rather than identity and identity groups, is far more common. Yet no one should doubt that identification with others makes a difference in how individuals perceive their own interests. Psychological experiments demonstrate that something as basic as self-image changes when individuals identify with others. And just as remarkably, a difference in self-image can be based on a seemingly, irrelevant identification with others. Experimental subjects who view a beautiful stranger report an increase in their own self-image of attractiveness when all that they learn about the stranger is that they share her birthday. The experimental subjects apparently identify with the total stranger by virtue of sharing the same birthday, and that identification alone is enough to enable her beauty to enhance their own self-image. Conversely, a negative difference can arise from group identification when women students are reminded of their gender or African American students of their racial identity before taking tests in subjects where it is widely thought that women and African Americans perform poorly. Democratic theory and politics clearly cannot afford to neglect the differences, both positive and negative, that group identifications make in people's lives.
What difference does the existence of organized identity groups make for democratic theory and practice? When is nationality, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or some other group identity a good or bad reason for democratic action? What identity groups should be encouraged or discouraged, and what actions based on identity can aid or impede democratic justice?
The analysis that follows suggests that organizing politically on the basis of group identity is not a good or bad thing in itself. When identity groups put the group above opposition to injustice or the pursuit of justice, they are morally suspect. Identity groups do better when they offer mutual support and help combat injustice for disadvantaged people. Even when combating injustice is justified, it can be ugly. A completely justifiable struggle against the rights violations of an identity group, such as the Ku Klux Klan, is often ugly, bringing with it unavoidable pain and suffering, or avoidable only at the price of appeasement. Resistance to injustice often itself encounters resistance, and people may undeservedly suffer as a consequence. By subjecting identity groups to fair-minded scrutiny, we come to recognize the good, the bad, and the ugly of identity politics.
Basic questions about the political ethics of identity groups in democracy have been conspicuous by their absence in both academic and popular discourse, for reasons that are worth noting. Because political scientists have tended to treat all organized nongovernmental political actors as interest groups, they have benignly neglected the role that group identity plays in defining and guiding many politically relevant groups in democracies. At the other end of the spectrum, far from neglecting identity groups, popular political commentators often subject them to hypercriticism. Some claim, for example, that although interest groups are "an inherent part of the governing process of a democracy," identity group politics-by contrast-"is antithetical to the basic principle of one indivisible nation." If one thinks only of identity groups that teach hatred of others, sometimes martyring their members who are willing to kill innocent people, then it is easy to condemn identity politics. But this line of thought misleadingly narrows the notion of identity groups.
Nationality itself is a group identity in the name of which injustices have been both inflicted and resisted. Both slavery in the United States and apartheid in South Africa, for example, have been institutionalized and then opposed in nationalism's name. The nationalisms have differed dramatically in content. Democracies have fought both aggressive and defensive wars by encouraging nationalist impulses among their citizens. People have rallied around a wide variety of nationalist identities in support of tyrannical regimes, yet tyrannies also have been resisted by many nationalist movements. Nationalism is part of identity politics, and nations no less than other identity groups should be scrutinized according to considerations of democratic justice.
Identity groups are an inevitable byproduct of according individuals freedom of association. As long as individuals are free to associate, identity groups of many kinds will exist. This is because free people mutually identify in many politically relevant ways, and a society that prevents identity groups from forming is a tyranny. Associational freedom therefore legitimizes identity groups of many kinds.
Many political parties are identity groups, calling upon and cultivating shared identities around ideology, class, religion, and ethnicity, among other mutual recognitions. The myth that superior citizens are independent voters-citizens who do not identify in a stable way over time with a party as a partisan reference group-was an early casualty of survey research in political science. "Far from being more attentive, interested, and informed," The American Voter discovered that "Independents tend as a group to have somewhat poorer knowledge of the issues, their image of the candidates is fainter, their interest in the campaign is less, their concern over the outcome is relatively slight." The rise of independent American voters in the 1960s led many commentators to declare mutual identification around a political party to be an anachronism, but the revival of partisan political loyalty since the mid-1970s (matching its high 1950s level) underscores the importance of parties as identity groups. There now can be little reasonable doubt that mutual identification around a partisan group identity plays a central role in the official institutions of democratic politics. As the literature on party identification amply demonstrates, the relative successes and failures of political parties cannot be adequately understood without attending to the ways in which parties succeed or fail in calling upon and cultivating mutual identification among potential members. This book extends the finding that mutual identification is a central part of party politics by examining and evaluating the role of identity groups outside of political parties and the formal political processes of democratic government. Not only within but also outside of the formal democratic mechanisms, identity groups act in ways that both support and threaten basic principles of democratic justice.
Three basic principles are equal standing as a citizen-or "civic equality"-along with liberty and opportunity. The interpretation of these principles varies across democratic views, but the variation does not detract from the fact that civic equality, liberty, and opportunity are core principles of any morally defensible democracy. The broad range of views compatible with these principles all can be called democratic. Identity groups act in ways that both aid and impede democracies in expressing and enacting these principles. The benign neglect of identity groups by political scientists and the hypercriticism of popular commentators are not terribly helpful in understanding or assessing their role in democratic societies.
To assess some of the major issues that identity groups pose for democracy, I consider various illustrative examples, most taken from the United States, a context that provides examples of the major kinds of identity groups. The issues that identity groups pose for democracy are best analyzed in their specific political context, but other inquiries, I hope, will concentrate on other democratic countries. To indicate how ubiquitous and varied identity groups are in contemporary democracies, I also occasionally draw on examples from other democratic societies. These analyses must be even more suggestive, since the context can be less taken for granted.
Consider three political controversies that feature identity groups from three different democracies.
In Canada, often considered the home of multiculturalism, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, for the first time in its history, decided in 1990 to exempt a group from a long-standing rule governing their uniforms. Sikhs were exempted from wearing the wide-brimmed hat that is otherwise a required part of the Mounties' official uniform. This exemption, while not in itself earth-shaking, had far-ranging implications for the accommodation of diverse group identities by public authorities in Canada. The accommodation of the Sikhs in Canada met with six years of protest and was appealed to the Canadian Supreme Court, which refused to hear the challenge, leaving intact the exemption based on identity group membership.
In Israel, also in 1990, a group of conservative and orthodox Jewish women petitioned the High Court of Justice to be given the same rights as Jewish men to pray in public. A year earlier, these women had peacefully marched to the Western Wall in Jerusalem, holding a Torah, determined to pray there without male approval. They were attacked by a group of mainstream orthodox Jews who were defending their religious prohibition of women from praying as orthodox men do in public. Ten years later, in 2000, the court recognized the women's right to pray at the Wall without abuse by other worshippers. The court also held that the fact that their prayer offends other Orthodox Jews must not annul their ability to exercise their equal rights in public. In response to this ruling, the Israeli Knesset (the unicameral parliament of Israel) introduced a bill that would impose a penalty on any woman who violates traditional Orthodoxy by praying at the Wall.
In the United States in 1990, James Dale, an assistant scoutmaster of New Jersey Troop 73, received a letter revoking his membership in the Boy Scouts of America. Dale rose up through the ranks from cub to eagle scout to assistant scoutmaster. When executives in the Boy Scouts learned from a newspaper article that Dale was copresident of the Lesbian/Gay Alliance at Rutgers University, they revoked his membership. Dale brought suit against the Scouts on grounds of discrimination. The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled in Dale's favor on the basis of the state's anti-discrimination law. In a 5 to 4 decision, the United States Supreme Court reversed the ruling and ruled that the Boy Scouts may discriminate based on their expressive freedom as a group to oppose homosexuality.
These controversies pit politically-engaged identity groups against each other: Canadian Sikhs versus other Canadians, Orthodox Israeli Jews versus "Women of the Wall" (some of whom are also Orthodox), Boy Scouts of America versus gay men, along with other individuals and groups, many of them also part of identity groups, who supported one side or the other in these political battles. The political interests of the major groups in these controversies are intimately linked to their group identities. These identity groups represent only a small fraction of the groups that organize around a mutually recognized identity of their members and pursue a political agenda at least partly based on that group identity. Although non-mainstream groups like Sikhs and gay men are more commonly recognized as identity groups than are mainstream Canadians or the Boy Scouts of America, all are identity groups according to any impartial understanding of the term.
Once we recognize all these groups as identity groups, we are in a far better position to engage in nonpolemical analyses of the problems they raise and the contributions they make in a democracy. Here, in a nutshell, is the dilemma that identity groups present to democracy:
Identity groups are not the ultimate source of value in any democracy committed to equal regard for individuals;
Identity groups can both aid and impede equal regard for individuals, and democratic justice, more generally;
Some identity groups promote negative stereotypes, incite injustice, and frustrate the pursuit of justice;
Others help overcome negative stereotypes and combat injustice in contexts of civic inequality and unequal liberty and opportunity;
Identity groups can also provide mutual support and express shared identities among individuals whose lives would be poorer without this mutual support and identification.
Why are identity groups not the ultimate source of democratic value? Equal regard for individuals-not identity groups-is fundamental to democratic justice. A just democracy treats individuals as civic equals and accords them equal freedom as persons. If identity groups were the ultimate source of value, then they could subordinate the civic equality and equal freedom of persons (inside or outside the group) to their cause. Accepting an identity group as morally ultimate is inconsistent with treating persons as civic equals who are free to live their lives as they see fit. Living your life as you see fit therefore presupposes that self-appointed groups not impose their identity on you against your will.

Staten Island To Get Largest Ferris Wheel
By editor
Originally published on Wed January 2, 2013 10:16 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Developer Richard Marin says he's building the world's largest Ferris Wheel. It's planned for the shore of New York City's Staten Island. It's part of a larger development which is going ahead even though critics noted is partly in a flood zone. Flooding from Hurricane Sandy prompted Mr. Marin to make only minor adjustments. He says the project is a boon for Staten Island, and in fairness, the top of the Ferris Wheel will be above any storm surge. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

When Kimberly Borin, a guidance counselor here in Somerset County, was trying to help a child talk about her parents' divorce, she asked the student to describe the feelings in terms of nature.
''I feel like a landslide,'' the 6-year-old told Ms. Borin. That allowed the counselor to see that in this child's mind, ''things were happening very fast, going down the mountain out of control and there was chaos.''
''Nature offers all the metaphors for growing, changing and healing,'' Ms. Borin explained. ''Another spring, another tomorrow, another sunrise.''
The ability of children to connect what they are experiencing by relating it to something in nature is what inspired Ms. Borin, the guidance counselor to 571 elementary students at the Liberty Corner School, to create a program around the environment.
The result was a quarter-mile-long nature trail designed by fourth graders last year that has provided a curriculum about nature and feelings as well as projects using natural materials that seem to allow children to open up. Along the trail there are signs with questions, created by the children, that promote discussion about life issues and emotions. For instance: How do seasons affect feelings? What do roots and plants teach about growth? What does water teach about change?

There was a pretty good bit on last night's Daily Show about the sideshow that was the Kathleen Sebelius hearing yesterday, but our favorite part comes at about the 3:30 mark.
After trying out a line about how some people like drinking out of a red solo cup and not something with a crystal stem while questioning Sebelius, our own Marsha Blackburn proceeded to get up, leave the hearing, and repeat the exact same line for the boys at Fox Business Channel.
There's about a million things wrong with this — not the least of which is the bullshit populism of the red solo cup; how about just hammering the administration for things that don't work — but is it too much to ask for the Congresswoman from Williamson Co. to wait until the end of a three hour hearing she was demanding before going off to do yet another TV appearance?
All of this belies the one salient fact about her grandstanding: Blackburn gives us a false choice. You can have red solo cups WITH crystal stems.

Quick Facts About the 2000 Ford Mustang: The 2000 Ford Mustang grille was a narrowed but deeper trapezoid whose running-horse mascot was again corralled in chrome on base and GT models. A large dummy scoop was set into a more visibly domed hood above wider wraparound headlamp clusters. Body sides were pulled out, wheel openings newly flared. The signature C-shape side graphic and its simulated rear air scoop were enlarged, but the sheetmetal within was now flat rather than "pre-dented." Mustang's main event of 2000 was the new Cobra R. Like the last R-model of '95, this one was street-legal but obviously track-oriented -- "a turn-key racing machine," as Road & Track called it. |

Percolator coffee pots were extremely popular in early to mid 20th century. While electric coffee pots have become more mainstream than percolators, percolators are still popular. Percolators offer many benefits that electric coffee pots do not. Since a percolator does not require electricity to work, they are popular at picnics and among those who enjoy camping. Percolators are also more friendly to the environment than electric coffee makers because they do not used electricity and they use less water.
Using a percolator is very easy. To use a percolator, fill it with the desired amount of water. Then put the coffee basket on the pump stem before putting it in the percolator. Add the desired amount of coarsely ground coffee in the coffee basket and then put the cover on the basket followed by the percolator top. To prepare the coffee, put the percolator on the stove (or fire for those camping) and cook over medium heat. When the coffee is done, remove the percolator from the stove and enjoy!
There are many guidelines that those who have never used a percolator should follow. Those brewing coffee with a percolator should make sure that the percolator doesn't get too hot since the coffee can burn which can ruin the flavor. Those using a percolator should also be careful not to leave it on the stove or fire for too long. This can also cause the coffee to burn and ruin the flavor. The optimal time to heat the coffee is eight minutes.
Using coarsely ground coffee is best as more flavor can be pulled from the coffee by using ground coffee than beans. While these guidelines may seem strict and make percolating coffee not seem worth the trouble, it is! Coffee from a percolator is much better than coffee from a drip coffee maker and no other type of coffee maker can match the rich flavor and aroma than coffee from a percolator. Because of this, percolators remain popular even after the introduction of easy-to-use drip coffee makers. The flavor of percolated coffee is simply unrivaled!

Annamae Billeter Angerbauer, 82, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, teacher and friend to all returned to her Savior with joy and honor on Wednesday, June 6, 2012. She suffered from dimensia and demonstrated remarkable courage and grace. Annamae was born July 26, 1929 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Julius Billeter and Celeste Pingree Billeter. She married Ralph E. Angerbauer in the Salt Lake Temple on November 21, 1952.
Annamae graduated from East High School and continued her valued high school friendships and relationships until her passing. She received her bachelor's degree in elementary education from the University of Utah. She taught second grade for a total of 28 years in the Salt Lake and Davis County School Districts. She will long be remembered by the hundreds of students she taught, including those for over 20 years at Adelaide Elementary in Bountiful, Utah. She was a member of Kappa Delta Pi, the professional teacher's honor society.
Her most cherished roles were with her family, serving her husband, three children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and extended family members. She found great fulfillment planning family activities that were always major events. We will all remember her Sunday family dinners, birthday parties, holidays, Fourth of July vacations in Provo, and annual traditions. These activities and family traditions have continued and will continue to honor and remember Mom's loving service, nurturing acts of kindness and unselfish devotion for her family.
Annamae was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She loved teaching Primary and Young Women classes. She enjoyed attending the temple and serving faithfully as a visiting teacher. She had a firm testimony of the Savior and the Restored Gospel.
Annamae is survived by her husband Ralph, children, Steven (Cynthia) Angerbauer, Shauna Angerbauer, Sue (Lynn) Higgs and David (Rose) Angerbauer, 22 grandchildren (including spouses), and 16 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister Ruth (Richard) Belliston, and other cherished sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law and their family members.

Wife's Got A New Bike!
After falling off Lilac last year & breaking her arm , it's taken quite a while for Wife to want to ride a bike again. First of all there was the weeks & weeks spent in a cast, then the physio, and then it was winter (remember the weather? Even I was reduced to cycling indoors!).
But even after the winter had gone, trying to ride Lilac again just wasn't working for her. The handlebar position just couldn't be got right for her re-set arm, the step-over was just a little too high, and there was also the issue of the bad memories.
So Lilac's gone to a new home , and today while Daughter was at her Stage class, Wife & I headed into Newcastle to see what was available at Recyke Y'Bike .
And just LOOK at what we found!
Could this be the perfect bike for her? Low step-over, chain guard, mudguards, rack, prop-stand, hub gears, and a bracket for a front basket.
Wife's yet to decide on a name, though "Miss Marple" has been mooted . . .

French expat Marie-France Gilles has already made the saying hers, as she recently entered her fifth consecutive year in Turkey. The story of her Turkish journey is that of a love affair, a "spicy honeymoon" that began the day she set foot in this land of historic treasures and effervescent present.
Seven years ago Gilles was starting a career in the tourism sector. During a job interview in France, the recruiter's office phone rang. After taking the call, the recruiter hung up and asked Gilles if she was ready to leave for Turkey within five days. She agreed and, a few days later, boarded a plane heading for the Aegean Coast. Gilles had signed a five-month contract as an activity leader at a holiday resort. Once there, Cupid's arrow would hit her twice: She fell in love with the country and with one of the hotel's guides.
The following year Gilles was about to sign a permanent contract in the south of France. But once again Turkey -- or destiny -- smiled upon her. An İstanbul family was looking for an au pair and Gilles accepted the offer. She felt there was something "waiting for her" there. She also thought that, if she moved in with her Turkish boyfriend someday, she would want to have experienced the country on her own.
Safer in İstanbul than Paris
Despite the hardships and relative loneliness of the first year, Gilles remained bold and stubborn and refused to give up. "I knew the experience would bear fruit and I waited," she recalls. Her lucky star was not long in rising again. The father of the girls she was taking care of offered her an assistant position in the company he was about to launch. After a year of research the man started his business and Gilles started a new life -- without her Turkish boyfriend. "I had been learning Turkish and that was an opportunity to prove to myself that I had not done all that only for him. I needed to take up a challenge."
In the second year Gilles's social life started to develop. Her Turkish teacher had become her best friend and introduced her to Turks of her own age. She was doing a lot of sports and traveled more than before. "After all, the key to enjoying the country you live in is to have a social life there," Gilles says. But there was something special to Turkey, too. "In short, I felt safer in İstanbul than in Paris," Gilles notes. She explains: "People care more about each other. ... So it is pretty easy for a foreigner to live here, even for a female foreigner. As a woman, I actually feel more respected and safer in Turkey than in France, and I have never been annoyed by any man here."
Gilles says she landed in Turkey with no pre-conceived prejudices. "I didn't know much about the country back then. So I had no idea as to what to expect and was very neutral in my approach." Turkey still sounded very exotic to her. Gilles, who has a background in art history, remembers the pleasure she felt upon discovering the beauty of Turkish historic sites and the hospitality of its people. "I had learned a lot about Greece at university but nothing about Turkey. I really fell in love with what I discovered."
You cannot truly enjoy a country without learning its language. Gilles says she felt comfortable in daily life after just six months. "I learned Turkish out of frustration. I love to communicate; I wanted to ask questions but couldn't," Gilles notes. The first words of Turkish she heard were enough to know she would enjoy learning it. "It is a very melodious, musical language -- with many 'ch' and 'sh' sounds -- and at the same time a very logical, mathematical structure. And Turks are so encouraging."
Gilles describes İstanbul, the city that has been her home for five years, as a bipolar city, one that you might love one day and hate the following day -- but one that never leaves anyone untouched. "I decided to stay so I apparently love it more than I hate it. There might be traffic jams or electricity breakdowns, but I see the Bosporus from my window every morning and I feel lucky in those moments."
'Growing up' in Turkey
Her encounter with Turkey in her 20s helped Gilles develop her "adult personality." She lists the aspects of her character that changed or emerged after she settled in İstanbul. "First, when you move to a foreign country, you cannot keep the attitude you often adopt in your home country, meaning to moan or complain all the time. You learn to be more humble by meeting people who are either much happier or much less happy than you." Gilles cites some of her friends who are working as cleaning ladies for 10 hours a day and YTL 600 a month with a family to feed. "Yet they keep smiling, so how could I not smile and question myself?"
Gilles says she also became more fatalistic in Turkey. "Before, I was looking for answers to everything. Now I am cooler, as far as my future goes. People here have experienced earthquakes; they have seen destruction in front of their eyes and started reconstruction the following day. They have an amazing strength that is very inspirational." In short, Turkey taught Gilles to feel less stressed about things she cannot control. "Carpe diem" is a motto she now follows more than ever before. "I really feel that Turks complain less. They are usually happy with what they have, although it can also be frustrating to see them not trying anything to improve their condition." Turks, she says, might enjoy easier access to happiness than Westerners partly because family and friendship matter so much to them.
"My parents are divorced and that sense of family unity that spreads all over Turkey truly felt good when I came here, as well as Turks' commitment to their friends." Gilles notes that it is not unusual for her to feel at home within the Turkish families that welcome her. "Turkey also made me be less rigid in character, as I was feeling more surrounded and cared about. I used to plan my life carefully and feel disappointed when a plan was cancelled at the last moment. Now, again, I am cooler and cancel appointments myself." These are not things that one can forget, Gilles adds, should she eventually return to France.
As if all this were not enough, Gilles is also thankful to Turkey for "restoring her creative power." Over the past years Gilles has been writing a blog about her daily life in Turkey that now receives hundreds of visitors a day, called "Du mile aux épices" (From honey to spices). She has also found new inspiration for two of her dearest hobbies: writing and cooking. More recently Gilles started a second job as a personal shopper in Istanbul. "I am doing more things here than I would in France, partly out of the feeling that the future is so unpredictable. Who knows what tomorrow will bring and if I won't have to leave Turkey earlier than expected."
Asked about what she would miss the most if she were to leave Turkey tomorrow, Gilles cites her Turkish friends; the atmosphere in Istanbul (the noise, the call to prayer and the crowds); "All those things that make life easier in Turkey," such as supermarkets or stores still open at 10 p.m.; and the Bosporus, which she never gets weary of.
On the other hand, she would not miss the cigarette smoke in public spaces or the uncertainty of her work status and salary. "In Turkey, everything functions but nothing works," she smiles. "For example, electricity works but the plug is not in the right place. Many things seem illogical, but they make us laugh and maybe like Turkey even more. We get to realize that the road is not always a straight line and that life is more grey than it is black or white."
Gilles, who recently moved into a new apartment, has no plans to leave Turkey in the coming years. Yet she is confident that she would be ready to settle in another country and start everything again from scratch. "I came to understand that leaving a friend means finding another one somewhere else; that closing a door means opening a new window of opportunity. But, wherever I go, I know my heart will stay in Turkey."

Groce hopes buzzer-beater is 'trampoline'
by Scott Gleeson, USA TODAY Sports
As Tyler Griffey's game-winning shot at the buzzer went through the bottom of the net with time expiring, Illinois coach John Groce stormed the court with his hands in the air, yelling at the top of his lungs in jubilation.
Lost in a sea of orange, Groce was mobbed by players and Illini fans. Groce called it the best "basketball atmosphere he's ever been a part of." The first-year Illinois coach was searching for his family in the Where's-Waldo crowd. Then, he spotted one shirtless fan who looked familiar.
It was his son, Conner.
An emotional Groce picked him up and screamed happily.
"After that shot went in, the first thing that I felt in my heart was pride," Groce said by phone Friday morning. "I felt pride for my players, those seniors, pride for Illinois basketball, the Orange Krush — the best fans in the country. Most of all, I felt pride for my family because of how much they sacrifice for me."
There are moments that define a college basketball season, and Groce believes his team's latest moment was the springboard needed to avoid another demoralizing late-season collapse after the Illini lost 12 of their last 14 last season and were heading in a similar direction.
"You hope that you can use a win like this, a special memory, as a trampoline," Groce said. "I try to tell my guys all the time you have to work everyday not to become dysfunctional and at the same time, you can't swallow the poison that success brings. We just beat a great team, but we play another great team (Minnesota) on Sunday.
"Obviously, we play in a tough league with tough arenas to play in, our RPI is ranked the best in the country. It was our fifth team in six games that was nationally ranked. I always try to not just look at wins and losses but ask myself, 'are we getting better?' We've lost some close games, but my guys keep fighting, they've stayed engaged. When you see a team lose consecutive games, it's tempting to say they're not … [For more on John Groce hopes buzzer-beater serves as 'trampoline' for Illinois, click here.]

Across a mountain range where East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Poland meet lies the bitter fallout from industrial schemes conceived in the Kremlin four decades ago.
Barren plateaus stretch for miles, studded with the stumps and skeletons of pine trees. Under the snow lie thousands of acres of poisoned ground, where for centuries thick forests had grown.
This is the heart of Europe, the sick heart of Europe, its people call it. Below these mountains, in a broad belt from Leipzig in East Germany to Cracow in southern Poland and across northern Czechoslovakia, are the bulk of Eastern Europe's heavy industries. A phalanx of power plants stands beside them, spewing smoke heavy with sulfur and soot as they drive steel and chemical works and heat homes.
Clouds of Brown Smoke
In the rush to compete with the West, the three countries have stoked these plants with millions of tons of lignite, a geologically younger coal that is dirty, cheap and abundant here. (Just 10 percent of the coal mined and burned in the United States is lignite.) The hunt for cheap energy has come back to haunt the planners: the brown coal smoke and other noxious emissions have wreaked havoc on buildings, penetrated people's lungs and poured acid rain over farmlands and forests.

Several of the teens that I see have come into the clinic for learning issues, but also are wondering if IM will help them in sports. Whenever a child brings this up to me, I really like to involve them in creating an exercise that they think will help them to work on their specific sport. Now sometimes, the activity is very crazy, and the child is unable to perform it – but sometimes they come up with something really good that I then ask their permission to use with other children.
Baseball is the simplest one. We have had a switch for home plate, and then a target switch on the wall to tap with a bat. This helped improve contact with the bat, and his ability to shift his gaze from home plate to the ball coming towards him.
Basketball proved to be very difficult to complete. Bouncing a ball on the foot switch can be very challenging to do! But, if they can conquer that with good timing, then they could also "shoot" the ball at a switch hung on the wall. This really helped the child develop a rhythm to his dribbling and gave him greater control over the ball.
Volleyball was very fun, and was taught to me by a teen who had lost the use of one of her arms. She chose to place switches in places where she could "bump" them, much like she would do a volleyball. This helped this child to coordinate both sides of her body much better, and she was able to return to her team more quickly, because she had practiced these moves during her rehabilitation.
Ice Hockey – yes, Ice Hockey!! After my patient demonstrated to me his "skating form" we were able to help him gain endurance for a crouched position (I held a tennis racket over his head to keep him in that position) and then we placed 2 foot switches behind and out to the side of him so he could tag each one to the beat, much like he would do his strokes when he would skate.
Next up I have a teen who is a runner for track and cross country as well as a lacrosse player. I can't wait to see what activities we are able to come up with together. IM can be very motivating to the sports enthusiast as it can help them to be more focused and precise when they play their sport.

Lawyers & Law Firms
A guy who made a career talking about himself "rambles"? Get Real.
In 2003, the U.S. National Debt was $7.4 trillion, anout half of what it is now. This case against Bonds is an embarrassment now, but just wait until the former AUSAs who handled this case start talking to reporters about what went on during strategy meetings on how to get Bonds. U.S. District Judge Susan Illston is typical of ther sadistic and power-hungry female lawyers who get appointments to the Federal Bench these days, so she won't dismiss the charge. It is not her money, maybe 15 million taxpayer dollars, that the government misspent on this prosecution.
Why doesn't the media just post the actual brief or opinion it's reporting on? That would be a lot clearer than some third-hand summary. Here, the WSJ is summarizing a summary by the AP. Just post the brief!
The Law Blog covers the legal arena's hot cases, emerging trends and big personalities. It's brought to you by lead writer Jacob Gershman with contributions from across The Wall Street Journal's staff. Jacob comes here after more than half a decade covering the bare-knuckle politics of New York State. His inside-the-room reporting left him steeped in legal and regulatory issues that continue to grab headlines.

You've seen the golden nugget squash. You may even have used one as part of your harvest decorations. What you may not know though, is how to cook one.
Sometimes called the Oriental pumpkin or the gold nugget squash, the squash variety resembles a pumpkin in shape and also has the same orange-colored skin. It is smallish, weighing an average of one pound. The smaller size can be a blessing, though, making it easier to cook than some of the gargantuan seasonal squashes. (Read here about how to tame the beast that is the blue hubbard squash.)
Because it's so small, nothing could be simpler than baking a golden nugget squash. In fact, you can bake one whole (see below for recipes). The Oriental pumpkin's sweet flesh is tasty in Fall and Winter recipes too, from soups and stews to savory rice dishes, pasta, and exotic curries.
Look for gold/golden nugget squash with a firm, hard rind with no blemishes or spots of mold. If the skin is tender, the squash is not yet mature, or is of inferior quality. (The tough skin is what protects the golden nugget squash, making it a longer-lasting variety than thinner-skinned squash.)
These hand-picked golden nugget squash recipes represent the best on the web. Note: the term "gold" or "golden" is used according to the name preferred by the recipe creator.

Brown Rice with Winter Squash and Cashews Recipe
While this recipe from The Kitchn calls for your choice of squash, the golden nugget squash's sweet flesh makes the perfect companion to the nutty brown rice. Savory herbs make the dish as gourmet as risotto, but without all the trouble.

Massillon resident turns bushels of
peppers into confetti When her husband brought home bushels of peppers from Amish Country a few years ago, Massillon resident Valita Ross had no idea those peppers would grow into a business. Those peppers have been transformed into an all-natural, distinctive condiment called Confetti Peppers. Confetti Peppers is a mix of banana and red bell peppers shredded like cole slaw that is seasoned with a special blend of herbs and spices and packed in canola oil. The peppers are for sale at many local stores, including Fishers and Bordner's, and Ross hopes to begin distributing the product to different areas. She began by experimenting to develop a recipe of shredded banana and red peppers that she canned and stocked her pantry shelves with. "I began giving it to family and friends," she said. "The response was overwhelming. They told me they used them on sandwiches, pizza, pasta dishes or ate them right out of the jar." Encouraged by family and friends to put her product on the market, Ross started a tough journey to find someone to produce and package it. "It's one thing to have a great recipe, it's a completely different thing to get it on the market," she said. "But I was committed once I decided to put it on the market." She faced challenges, including perfecting the recipe to ensure that the company could reproduce the product. "I wanted to make sure it tasted like mine," she said. "There have been slight changes to streamline the production." Ross is very proud of her product and knows that her mother, Sammie Gilmore, would be proud, too. Everything Ross knows about cooking, she said, she learned from her mother. Her mother – who passed away in 1994 – was a cook in the cafeteria at Ecko Housewares and had always dreamed of marketing her own products, including her barbecue sauce. "I continued the legacy," Ross said as her eyes began to well with tears. "I feel she would be really be proud. She loved to cook and she taught me. (I) fulfilled the legacy. I can hear her voice saying things like, 'Make sure it has good eye appeal,' that's why I added the red peppers. "It makes me chuckle ... I mix it with my hands. She always did things with her hands. She would say (when I was young), 'Just put your hands in it, stop being so prissy." Regina Iborra, Ross' neighbor and taste-tester, said Confetti Peppers are so flavorful and healthy. "It's a party of flavor," Ross said of the product. "The oil adds a dimension different from vinegar-based products. It's very healthy and natural, there are no artificial flavorings. It's that good kind of food mom would have canned years ago." Ross offers this advice to those trying to get a product off the ground: "First, you really have to be committed. You have to expect rejection. Don't give up to easy. It's not an easy process. Expect the unexpected." 10 Must Try Locally Produced Goods - About Magazine Product Review - Confetti Peppers - November, 2009 Return to TOP |

Cluck, Cluck
Newly elected GOP officials need to step up to the task and not play chicken with the issues
In the first full week since the Republican electoral tidal wave, there were two encouraging developments, an intriguing one and a particularly disquieting one.
The best news for Oklahoma taxpayers is that state lawmakers reiterated plans to undertake a thorough review of the state's runaway corporate welfare system.
The Capitol rumor mill was spinning recently that GOP powers-that-be quashed the interim study, fearful that opening up even some of the overall $5.8 billion in tax breaks to scrutiny could jeopardize some big business sacred cows.
New House Speaker Pro Tem Jeff Hickman, R-Dacoma, reported in an e-mail that he is working to schedule the interim study with state Sen. Mike Mazzei, R-Tulsa, a longtime proponent of the review. An aide to Mazzei confirmed the study is alive-and-well.
This won't be an easy subject for the GOP-dominated Legislature and newly-elected Republican governor to tackle. Corporate tax breaks have exploded in the six years since the GOP took over the House, often because beneficiaries tend also to be major campaign donors.
Still, lawmakers are facing as much as a $1 billion budget hole in the next fiscal year. They have little choice but to seriously review the handouts -- an estimated $2 billion of which never created a single job.
The second best news came from Gov.-elect Mary Fallin.
Speaking to reporters after a brief public introduction of her transition team co-chairs, Devon Energy Chairman Larry Nichols and outgoing state Senate President Pro Tem Glenn Coffee, Fallin pledged she would schedule far more news conferences than her predecessor.
Sadly, that might not be saying much. Democratic incumbent Brad Henry set the lowest bar in modern times, typically deigning to open himself up to reporters' questions only as he wrapped up tightly-scripted, dog-and-pony shows called to announce some initiative aimed at burnishing the governor's image.
Historically, Oklahoma governors met weekly -- for years, in fact, it was twice weekly -- with journalists, throwing open the floor to any and all questions. The give-and-take, back-and-forth was an excellent way to keep taxpayers abreast of the major issues confronting state government, as well as the chief executive's priorities and thinking.
Never has civic engagement been more crucial. The state is facing incredibly difficult challenges -- especially when it comes to funding vital services and rebuilding a crumbling infrastructure. A governor willing to answer questions not only helps bring rank-and-file Oklahomans up to speed, but also helps upgrade the political dialogue.
Gov.-elect Fallin has promised to do so.
The intriguing news -- at least potentially -- is that two state Senate seats soon will be up for grabs.
The GOP picked up six seats in the recent general election, giving it a commanding 32-16 advantage. But two Republican seats soon will be vacated -- Edmond Sen. Todd Lamb recently was elected lieutenant governor and Oklahoma City Sen. Jim Reynolds was elected Cleveland County treasurer.
Lamb's district has been solidly Republican for generations, but Reynolds was nearly defeated for re-election two years ago. Could either provide reeling Democrats an opportunity to stem the GOP tide?
This year's election was an anti-Obama wave, especially in Oklahoma. A triple axe murderer with an "R" behind his name could have won.
But, other than this year, Democrats have fared better in recent elections in the high-growth, north Oklahoma City-Edmond region that Lamb represents, suggesting it is turning purple -- less knee-jerk favorable to red (Republican) and unfavorable to blue (Democrat).
Two years ago, for example, Democrats Jim Roth, seeking re-election to the state Corporation Commission, and Andrew Rice, battling incumbent U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, both ran stronger than history would have predicted in the area.
Lamb is sworn in as lieutenant governor in January. Republicans already are lining up to run. Will Democrats field a strong candidate?
Reynolds nearly was knocked off by a famous name -- David Boren. No, not the University of Oklahoma president, former U.S. senator and governor. Were many voters simply fooled, was Reynolds less popular than many incumbents or is the electoral landscape changing in the district?
Both parties have time to strategize on this race. Reynolds doesn't become Cleveland County treasurer until July 1 -- the term runs on a July 1-June 30 fiscal year. So he will finish his 11th session in the state Senate this spring before assuming his new post.
The disquieting news is that Gov.-elect Fallin and incoming Attorney General Scott Pruitt both are signaling they may not be keen on continuing the state's pollution lawsuit against the poultry industry.
I'm not here to argue the specifics of the case -- though it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that two of the state's aquatic treasures, Lake Tenkiller and the Illinois River, are far from the pristine, see-clear-to-the-bottom wonders they were in the era before chicken ranching exploded in eastern Oklahoma.
The fact is, poultry producers were significant players in the 2010 campaign. They helped knock their chief nemesis, current Attorney General Drew Edmondson, out in the Democratic primary. Like chicken litter-turned-fertilizer, they spread their campaign dollars around to Fallin, Pruitt and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jari Askins.
Politics aside, water is the key natural resource. Nothing else comes close. And Oklahoma is blessed not only in abundance, but also in quality. Both are imperiled.
As the federal court lawsuit against the poultry industry suggests, water quality no longer can be taken for granted in Oklahoma. As recent federal court skirmishes in Oklahoma City and Muskogee reveal, others -- particularly Texas -- are salivating over the prospect of tapping into Oklahoma's bounty.
We still don't know how much water Oklahoma will need to meet future growth. A comprehensive statewide water plan is still being formulated. But this much is certain: we can't be too careful about conserving and protecting what will be to the 21st Century what oil was to the 20th Century.
The best strategy, at least short-term? Let the poultry case play out. Keep the moratorium on out-of-state water sales in place. And complete the statewide water plan. Then let's dispassionately talk specifics -- as far removed from heated election rhetoric and eye-popping campaign contributions as possible.

Pizza shack gets a day job
After-dark staple Mikey's Late Night Slice is waking up a little earlier with its new daytime pizza service.
Partner Jason Biundo says Mikey's Quick Slice, so far only available at its Short North location at 1030 N. High St., will be a mild-mannered version of Late Night Slice. He calls it "an alter-ego, like Clark Kent to Superman."
Proof: Their trademark "Slut Sauce" gets buttoned up as "LNS Sauce." They're even hoping for brunch business, serving an egg, bacon and sausage gravy-topped pizza on weekends.

The "masalas" or spices used in Pakistani cuisine consist of the basic five of six aromatic powders, which form the base or the sauce or curry.The most common spice mixture used for chicken and meat are onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander and salt.When combined, these ingredients produce a distinctive flavor and act as a thickening agent for the sauce. Most curries are prepared using the "bhoona" (frying) method which is the slow process of bringing the spices to a golden brown, adding water, then adding the main ingredient (meat, chicken, fish or vegetable) and stir frying it until it loses its raw state. Good, wholesome food and good health are closely linked. Spices and herbs used by us not only enhance flavor and aroma, but also promote good health. Chillies are rich in Vitamin C; Mathi (fenugreek) peps up the liver. Ginger andpeppercorns aid in digestion. Mint is cooling, while coriander is good for the kidneys.

Huh? ISO/IEC 646 IRV (another candidate for a FoPSCII precursor) replaces the ASCII $, not #, with that universal currency symbol. As for that vertical bar, sufficiently elderly practitioners of the art of Character Confusion and Coding (CCS) will recall that the ancient Earthling-Based Convention for Difficult Information Coding included two peculiar characters: a mathematical "not" sign that closely resembled Unicode's "⌐" (U+2310) and that broken vertical bar. Those characters spawned multiple wars over how they should be mapped into "ASCII" and "ISO/IEC 646" with one group arguing for caret and (solid) vertical bar, another for tilde and exclamation mark, and a third for exclamation mark and [solid] vertical bar. After much bloodshed, 16 and 32 bit character sets were invented so that almost everyone could contemplate their cakes while eating them and continued dissenters were tortured until they repented. Those battles were repeated in the development of FoPSCII when it was noticed that the 5th character of the Klingon alphabet was confusable with both the not-sign, Greek upper case Gamma, and Latin "r". In addition, the Klingon numeral 8 was easily confused with Cyrillic "Ж". This created a variant problem that the Intergalactic Consortium for Arbitrary Names and Numbers could not dismiss because of some of the advocates had a more effective means of persuasion than merely hiring lawyers. :-( john

FAA manager criticizes new safety programDavid Conley, president of the FAA Managers Association, says the program has raised barriers to managers' ability to address problems
By Joan Lowy
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The president of an association that represents Federal Aviation Administration managers who oversee air traffic controllers says a new error-reporting system is hindering the ability of managers to correct controllers' mistakes.
David Conley, president of the FAA Managers Association, told the House transportation committee in prepared testimony Wednesday that a program instituted nationwide in recent months to encourage controllers to voluntarily identify their mistakes without risk of punishment has raised barriers to managers' ability to address problems.
Conley said reporting system's rules sometimes mean managers have to wait for a committee to decide what action, if any, should be taken instead of managers acting immediately on their best judgment.
