Public Policy & Legislation
The American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado believes that the best way to protect the Bill of Rights and the freedoms it guarantees is to ensure that unconstitutional bills never become law. During each legislative session, we track numerous bills that address important issues that affect our freedoms, and when appropriate, we provide testimony around these bills in the Colorado House and Senate.
While the ACLU covers many issues, most of our legislative work is concentrated on privacy (including reproductive rights), religious freedom, free speech, protected class (including LGBT, affirmative action, immigrant rights), law enforcement, government secrecy, and others. Issues always arise that do not fit neatly into these categories, and the ACLU of Colorado is ever vigilant to catch them, too.

Find out where your legislators stood on civil liberties issues this session!
Legislative Updates
Each legislative session, the ACLU of Colorado tracks the bills that impact civil liberties, and where necessary, we take a position of support or opposition. Our Legislative Updates page lists the bills we are most concerned about and their current status in the legislature.
Legislative Database
Our Legislative Database catalogs all the bills we've monitored in recent years. Search or browse it to gain historical perspective on all of our legislative victories and defeats.
When viewing our legislative database, please note the definitions of the following key terms:
Actively Support: We actively lobbied or testified in support of the bill.
Support: We supported the bill but did not testify on it.
Actively Oppose: We actively lobbied or testified to defeat the bill.
Oppose: We opposed the bill but did not testify on it.
Monitor: We kept an eye on the bill as it has a potential impact on civil liberties.
Legislative Scorecards
In past years, the ACLU of Colorado has published a Scorecard for Civil Liberties.The Scorecard highlights many of the bills that we felt had the biggest impact on civil liberties. The voting record of each legislator was included as well to provide the general public with an easy way to see the exact stance of their elected representatives on many key issues.
Stay Informed
To protect and defend civil liberties, we need your help and your voice. To stay informed about our public policy work, please sign up for our email action alerts. We'll let you know when we need you to stand up and fight for our freedoms.

"The Open Directory Project is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web. It is constructed and maintained by a vast, global community of volunteer editors.http://dmoz.org/about.html"
I am looking for ways to increase the visibility of my business website. Before I post to this Open Directory Project has anyone knowledge of it's credibility?
Anyone have suggestions as to alternatives?
I wouldn't say that the Open Directory project is useless. But it is pretty darn close. The fact of the matter is, that the Internet is simply too vast to me managed "by hand" and the Open Directory project lags, both in adding new information, as well as removing out of date information. It has also garnered something of an elitist nature in that depending who manages the category that you wish to submit something to, your listing could be delayed for a very long time, or just never listed.
Is it credible? Well, technically yes. Is it worthwhile to make an effort to get listed there? Debatable.
Personally, I would dedicate more time building a sitemap that is readable by Google, Yahoo and Live, so that their robots can index your site. The benefits will be far greater.
Any links from quality website helps your site ranking through major search engines. Open Directory is often used by major search engines but it takes tiem to be listed.

I absolutely love all my music but recently I am seriously loving my song "Second Opinion". Its got such a great happy energy with a funky feel! I love to play it while driving or just when I need a relaxing pick me up! I think you all would really enjoy it also and could use it in your own special pick me up times! Here is the link on itunes if you would like to check it out! I really hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Dr. Goodfoot" is one of those tracks that is just as fun to play as it is to listen to. I'm so glad the palpable energy we felt in the studio translated to the finished recording. I knew we were doing something right when I couldn't help but dance while playing this. Partially inspired by Grover Washington Jr.'s "Mister Magic," this track should be accessible to all those who enjoy a funky groove and an upbeat mood.
"So Naturally" is a song I wrote that is meant to just
feel right. The groove, the melody and the production sounds are meant to
convey pure bliss. This tune is laid back and very smooth, perfect for a drive
up the coast with the top down. Some might hear a nod to the blissful groove of
George Benson on his album Breezin'.<o:p></o:p>
"Cisco Kid" is nothing but
smooth sax that will keep you humming all throughout the song. I like to keep
the beat going throughout the phrase while building dynamics to anticipate my
own freestyle. I like my music to immediately make you feel lost in my world of
jazz, where you can't help but sway to the beat. In this live
performance, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htnRy6NvisM, you can even see all of the audience members
moving around and having a good time. I love seeing the audience get up and
dance because I want my music to be enjoyable and fun. Check out "Cisco Kid"
and the rest of the album! http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/first-impressions/id503751154

The PPV Running Diary: Pacquiao vs. Mosley |
Written by Eric Raskin | |||
Monday, 09 May 2011 01:00 | |||
Raskin vs The Envelope=More entertaining main event than Pacquiao vs Mosley. (Chris Farina) This past Saturday night brought another major boxing pay-per-view event, and you know what means: more bitching from Raskin about how late these things end and how early his son wakes up in the morning. It's completely illogical that, as a guy who needs a gallon of coffee to keep his eyes open after 9 p.m. and who hates cold weather, I haven't moved to the west coast yet. But alas, I haven't, so that means an evening at The Ring Managing Editor Joe Santoliquito's house in suburban Philadelphia, a running diary column, and four hours of struggling to keep my head from hitting my keyboard. The crowd was a little different for Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley; instead of the usual collection of boxing writers, this gathering featured just two fight scribes (me and Joe) and a half dozen of Joe's friends who can be categorized as casual boxing fans. Given how Bob Arum insisted from the moment this fight was signed that it was all about those mainstream fans, you could say it's appropriate that our little group wasn't a hardcore fight crowd. Unfortunately, the casual/hardcore imbalance adversely impacts the running diary, as most of Joe's friends—nice guys, to be sure—spent more time asking questions than contributing meaningful observations. Which means I had to do most of the work myself this time. (Damn you, Nigel Collins, for having conflicting plans and watching the fights later at night on DVR, and damn you, Bill Dettloff, for being afraid to show your face in public while trailing in the Ring Theory "Quick Picks" competition.)

The countdown clock showing 100 days left until the start of 2014 Winter Olympic Games on display at Manezhnaya square in downtown Moscow, Russia. Six new events will make their debut at the 2014 Olympic Games, which begin Feb. 6.
More flying, more spinning and more speeding. And an extra day of competition, too. When the 2014 Olympics kick off in Sochi, Russia on Feb. 6 it will be the largest version of the Winter Games to date.
Six new events will debut in Sochi: the ski halfpipe (men's and women's), women's ski jumping, biathlon mixed relay, a new figure skating team event and luge team relay. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) added the events to provide a newer, fresher and youthful flare to the games, including many X-Games equivalent events for 2014.
Here's a breakdown of each event:
Ski Halfpipe – Men and Women
It's a halfpipe event on skis. Picture Shaun White doing flips, jumps, twists and turns on a snowboard; now picture him doing the same maneuvers on skis. Competitors go one at a time on two separate runs in the preliminaries in order to qualify for two final runs as the field is narrowed down to 12 skiers. Judges score on take off, height they reach above half-pipe, landing and difficulty of trick. Winners are ranked based on highest score taken out of the two final runs.
Women's Ski Jumping
No group lobbied harder for inclusion in the 2014 Olympics than women's ski jumpers. They were granted their request, and will compete on the same hill as the men's event. Each competitor gets two runs on the hill in the first and final rounds, and are scored based on distance and style. The athlete with the highest combined score from all four jumps is the winner.
Biathlon Mixed Relay
Already widely popular in Europe, the mixed ski relay event is designed for the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) to pay equal attention to both genders. There are two males and two females per team. Female athletes start the relay, each performing two six-kilometer kegs. The two male athletes follow by racing two 7.5-kilometer kegs. Each athlete shoots twice (one prone, one standing) and a 150 km penalty loop is added on for each miss. The team with the lowest combined time will be the winner.
Figure Skating Team Event
Teams of six skaters from each country perform under four separate categories: men's, women's, pairs and dance. There will be two skaters each for pairs and dance, and one male and one female skater for individual runs. The team with the highest aggregated score will be the winner. The event will be spread out over the course of three days.
Luge Team Relay
The new race format comprises three teams: a doubles sled, a woman's single sled and a men's single sled. Each sled slides one after the other as teams compete for the fastest combined time. A touch pad at the finish line must be activated by a teammate to open the gate for the next sled in line. Team USA will rep the event with sleek new, patriotic uniforms

Posted: Jan 18, 2013 1:39 PM by Associated Press
MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) - A Nicaraguan judge has sentenced 18 Mexicans who posed as a television crew to 30 years in prison for drug trafficking and money laundering stemming from $9.2 million found in their news vans.
Judge Edgard Altamirano says the 17 men and one woman deserve the harshest penalty possible under the Central American nation's law. Altamirano said Friday's sentencing that each of those convicted must also pay a $9.2 million fine.
The 18 fake journalists were arrested in August near Nicaragua's northern border with Honduras in six vans bearing logos like those used by Mexican television giant Televisa. Gym bags stuffed with bundles of cash were found stashed in compartments inside the vehicles.
Televisa says none of the 18 worked for it and the vans aren't part of the company's fleet.

Freedom Center devoted to a cause
Museum tells the story of a troubled era in American history
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center explores all aspects of slavery, especially the
history of the Underground Railroad, the informal network that helped escaped slaves flee north
before and during the Civil War.
The Freedom Center is located in downtown Cincinnati on the Ohio riverfront between Paul
Brown Stadium and Great American Ball Park. Allow about two hours for the drive from Columbus.
Follow I-71 south to downtown Cincinnati.
Exit at 3rd Street/Downtown/Riverfront and follow the signs to the Freedom Center.
Underground parking is available for a fee at the museum.
Special events in February include a "Reflections of Blackness" exhibit, reading and
book-signing with artist Kadir Nelson on Saturday; and "An Evening with Dr. Leon Bass" on Feb. 26,
with Bass recounting his experiences as a soldier in a segregated army battalion in World War II.
Also, a new installation, "Emancipation and its Legacies," celebrates the sesquicentennial of the
signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.
The Freedom Center is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. The last
tickets are sold at 4 p.m. Admission is $12, or $8 for children ages 3 to 12, and $10 for people 60
and older.

CINCINNATI — Battlefields such as Gettysburg, Pa., and Vicksburg, Miss., are garnering plenty of attention during this 150th anniversary year of some of the Civil War's bloodiest fighting.
But it is here in the Queen City, where no battles were fought, that the story of the war's lasting legacy can be found.
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center explores the history of human bondage, especially in the United States, and celebrates the end of slavery as an officially sanctioned institution.
Although the Freedom Center has suffered financial woes in the past, the future looks brighter for the institution thanks to a merger with the Cincinnati Museum Center.
The Civil War wasn't fought — at least at first — to end slavery. But by 1863 and President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, slavery had become the central theme of the conflict.
Built almost on the banks of the Ohio River, with a clear view across to the former slave state of Kentucky, the Freedom Center explores that theme through the struggles of those who sought to escape slavery and those who sought to help — and hinder — them.
Visitors will see many historic artifacts, ranging from a beaver hat belonging to famed abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass to a completely renovated two-story "slave pen" moved from its original site in Kentucky.
But the heart of the Freedom Center is found in stories; stories of escaping slaves risking all for the hope of liberty; stories of free men and women who risked almost as much in the belief that, to paraphrase poet Emma Lazarus, while some were still enslaved, none could truly be free.
The museum tells the tales through a variety of media, including audio and video. Visitors can also hear and see stories on iPods that are available at the ticket counter or download a free app on their smartphones for the same presentations.
The museum also offers several big-screen documentaries and dramatizations, including the museum's introductory movie, Suite for Freedom, a moving look at the horrors of slavery rendered in several styles of impressionistic animation.
Even the most venerable Underground Railroad buff is sure to learn a few fascinating new pieces of history, such as the story of Henry "Box" Brown, a slave who escaped to the north by having himself nailed into a small wooden crate and shipped from Richmond, Va., to Philadelphia; or Addison White, a runaway slave who fled Kentucky to Mechanicsburg, Ohio, and was defended from federal marshals by townspeople who eventually purchased White's freedom from his former owner.
One of the most astounding stories comes from just up the river in the town of Ripley, Ohio, where Presbyterian minister John Rankin and businessman John Parker, a former slave who had purchased his own freedom, joined forces to help dozens of slaves escape to the North despite the Fugitive Slave Law, which required even Northerners to return escaped slaves to their "rightful owners."
The heroics of Rankin and Parker are depicted in Brothers of the Borderlands — a movie dramatization of the true story produced especially for the museum.
After viewing a short introduction by Oprah Winfrey, visitors walk to the main theater through a passage lighted only by "stars" and alive with the night sounds that could be heard along the Ohio River in 1860: chirping insects, calling owls and other night birds.
The movie opens with a panoramic view of the Ohio River and Ripley as it would have looked on that evening, with smoke rising gently from a chimney of the Rankin house, high on the hill above the town.
All seems calm until the false peace is broken by the roar of bloodhounds as two escaping slaves flee slave-hunters on horseback. The action is swift; the danger, to the slaves and to Parker and Rankin, is palpable.
Brothers of the Borderlands, like all of the museum's video presentations, is engaging and short enough to keep even young visitors engrossed in the touching — if sometimes scary — true stories.
Although the events depicted can be frightening, I wouldn't hesitate to take my 7-year-old children to the Freedom Center to learn a few difficult truths — some harsh, some hopeful — about American history.
The stories will likely move some to ponder the lengths that they would have gone to seek freedom and to help others find it.
Which of us, the exhibits seem to ask, would be willing to risk our own freedom and property for a greater cause, and which would slavishly follow unjust laws?
Accepting the status quo is always the easy route, of course, and was the path chosen even by the first 15 U.S. presidents. For me, one of the most interesting exhibits was a display listing the slaveholding status of those presidents, Washington through Buchanan, along with quotes that embodied their attitudes toward slavery.
Most among them, even the slaveholders, claimed to favor the eventual end of slavery, but none could see any practical way of abolishing the institution, short of war. In this, perhaps, they were right.
And so the country paid, in blood, for the moral transgressions supported, at least tacitly, by those men and many others.
But for that story, a visit to the battlefields and cemeteries of Gettysburg or Vicksburg would be in order.

Here is the last of our Year In Review posts for the 2012 regular season of tv. As usual, SB's thoughts are in blue and mine are in purple. Read, agree, disagree, comment – you know how it goes! And get ready, because our summer 2012 coverage is kicking off soon!
OH MY GOD, KRISTEN WIIG IS GONE! Our long national nightmare is over! AND ALL THE PEOPLE REJOICED!
Okay. It's out of the way. You knew it was coming, right? Anyway, I thought this was a really good and funny season of SNL (the Mick Jagger finale not included). Let's review some highlights:
- Jason Segel and The Muppets
- Capitalizing on all the pedophiles in the news with Steve Buscemi (which would make an awesome title of a standalone TV show, right?)
- JIMMY FALLON'S CHRISTMAS EPISODE, AM I RIGHT? God, all the alums and everyone having such a good time … best ever.
- Channing Tatum's strippery monologue (and also, who knew he was so hilarious?)
- Eli Manning making me laugh almost as much as Peyton did, which is a huge compliment
- Even Lindsay Lohan was sort of interesting to watch, in a horrifying trainwreck sort of way
- The introduction of the fake soap opera "The Californians", which hilariously mocks how everyone in California is obsessed with driving directions and provided the INSANELY fun to imitate "What are YOU doing here?"
So overall, a very fun year. But the big question on everyone's mind was, where the fuck was Timberlake? Yeah, yeah, he showed up from time to time, but I need him to host AT LEAST once a year. Step aside, Alec Baldwin. (And also, please no more Katy Perry ever on anything, okay TV Gods?)

While I love this video—and, yes, Le Creuset is giving away ten of these awesome oval pots (yes, giving them away)—the video doesn't show how succulent and delicious and simple these bean dishes are. Kate will be pissed that I'm desecrating her beloved cassoulet with American middle-of-the-week ease. Sorry, Kate (but not really). I got great Tarbais-style beans from Steve Sando of Ranch Gordo; these and a great pot are all you need. Sure, I'd love some moulard duck leg confit, but I don't have it here! What I have is pork! And I love pork, and it's delicious, and this dish adds up to just a few dollars a portion (even with Whole Foods meat!). Easy cassoulet, American style: thick chunks of bacon started in water (to speed the fat-rendering), browned, then pork shoulder chunks seared in the bacon fat, the ...

2013 Images Magazine:Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging Annual Publication (pdf)
Myriam Chaumeil, PhD, recipient of2013 Bruce Hasegawa Award
October 29, 2013
At the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging's 10th annual Research Symposium on October 29, 2013, Myriam Chaumeil, PhD was presented with the 2013 Bruce Hasegawa Award.
Dr. Chaumeil is a postdoctoral scholar working in the laboratory of Sabrina Ronen, PhD, where she applies innovative magnetic resonance techniques, such as hyperpolarized carbon-13 and contrast-enhanced imaging, to characterize brain tumors and their response to treatments. She earned her PhD in Medical Physics from the University of Paris XI, France.
In accepting the award, Chaumeil remarked: "I feel really lucky to have had the chance to work in this department with an amazing group of people, and to follow Professor Hasegawa's footsteps in developing new imaging techniques, such as hyperpolarized 13-C MR spectroscopy. I would like to thank all my colleagues from the Surbeck lab and QB3 for their help and friendship. I would like to also give special thanks to my mentor and PI Sabrina Ronen for her continuous support over the last five years. And finally, I would like to thank the Symposium Committee as well as Bruce Hasegawa's friends and family for this generous award. I feel really honored."
The Bruce Hasegawa Award recognizes a radiology and biomedical imaging graduate student or postdoctoral scholar annually. It is generously funded by Hasegawa's childhood friend, Dr. Gordon Honda.

With 28,000 attendees, the 2013 Bay Area Science Festival was a huge success. On Saturday, November 2nd, children and adults were scattered throughout the AT&T baseball field enjoying some fun in the sun, and a stadium full of science. With the many different exciting exhibits, games, and entertainment, no one wanted to go home when it came to closing time.
The Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging had a booth there with many interactive activities to drum up excitement about radiology. We created a game called, "Match That Bone", where we showed kids and parents different x-ray images on an iPad. Next, we had them try and match those images to a skeleton model. Our booth also featured a power point slide highlighting the department's ten subspecialties. We also played an MRI video, a video of Dr. Bill Dillon explaining steps to becoming a radiologist, and a video of Dr. Brett Elicker talking about radiation exposure.
This is the first year the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging has participated in the science festival, and we hope to come back every year. Especially, when many parents and children were asking, "What is radiology?". It is a compliment to have people ask these types of questions. It gives us a chance to interact with them, share our experiences, and spread our knowledge.
We personally would like to thank everyone who volunteered to help make our booth a success:
Thank you Dr. Bob Kerlan and Kathy Knoerl, Operations Director Radiology, for volunteering and showing your support.
Thank you Matt Eltgroth, MD, Nick Burris, MD, Mariam Aboian, MD, Kevin Koo, MD, Nancy Benedetti, MD, Hriday Shah, MD, Marcel Brus-Ramer, MD, PhD, Craig Devincent, Ben Mow, Rebecca Galagaran, Javier Villanueva-Meyer, MD, and Vignesh Arasu, MD for sharing your knowledge on radiology.
Lastly, thank you Mercedes Curutchet and Etay Ziv, MD for making the MRI video.
Thanks everyone!

VANCOUVER, British Columbia—Geroy Simon became the CFL's all-time receiving leader in a dramatic way Friday night.
The Lions' star slotback set the record on a 56-yard pass from Travis Lulay 4:57 into the fourth quarter of B.C.'s 33-16 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The 36-year-old Johnstown, Pa., native was all alone as he hauled in the pass along the sideline and brought the ball to the Winnipeg 23-yard line.
Seconds afterward, Simon was hugged by his 18-year-old son Gervon, who traveled from Johnstown to witness history.
Simon finished the game with 105 yards on five receptions, giving him 15,192. He bettered the record of 15,153 yards held by retired Milt Stegall, who was on hand for the game.

Sounds like a good idea. Why should a company-any company-be held liable for the misuse of their product? Should gas dealers be held liable because their product was used to cook meth etc? Congress passed S397 a few years ago the stopped lawsuits against gun manufacturers and dealers for misuse of their lawfully produced and sold products by criminals etc. It did not prohibit lawsuits for defective products. The anti-gun groups wanted to make the gun manufacturers liable for the actions of criminals, including hospital bills etc for gang-bangers and by doing so, put the manufacturers and dealers out of business. Ron Paul voted against S397.
I agree whole heartedly. This is another example of gov't overreach. Most legislation, no matter how "well intended" it may be, will almost always have unintended consequences. In 2009 the federal gov't passed a law banning lead in children's toys. Who would be against this? Certainly one of the few things both parties can agree on. However a radical "safety nazi" organization used this law to ban ATV manufactures from making kid sized dirt bikes and quads due to the lead in the batteries! I rode dirt bikes as a kid. Some of my greatest childhood memories were riding dirt bikes up north during summer vacation. The only way that the lead in the batteries could do any harm is if you were to unhook the cable and suck on the terminal. Can't say I've ever heard of anyone doing that. Thankfully the law was corrected to exempt youth off road vehicles from the ban. But there were a couple of years where manufactures were losing millions of dollars due to the ban. Not to mention all the money lost by the dealerships. See why the gov't needs to be closely monitored!
Kind of off topic, but I recall another case where the Govt. tried to get a small time Ohio drug dealer charged under federal law because he was selling drugs from his house. Their logic was that since his house was heated with natural gas and Ohio had no natural gas wells, then he was engaged in trafficking in interstate commerce. Now that was a stretch-but they tried it-and failed.

DOVER – After pleading guilty to defrauding a dozen friends and neighbors, a former school official will serve at least 18 months in prison and must pay $278,000 in restitution.
While the case is tied to other victims, Nickolas Skaltsis, 62, of 6 Erik Drive, waived the indictment process and pleaded guilty to three counts of theft by deception and one count of theft by misappropriation of property.
Dover resident Gary Green, who was taken in by Skaltsis, said the thefts were committed by a man who built up trust within the community.
"Your days of influence in Dover or anywhere else has ended," Green said.
Dover resident Phyllis Woods, who previously served in the N.H. House, said Skaltsis hurt the people who trusted him.
"You took more than money – you took our piece of mind," Woods said, adding Skaltsis proved to be an incredible disappointment.
After hearing statements from several victims Wednesday morning, Superior Court Judge Tina Nadeau accepted a plea bargain sentencing Skaltsis to 1½ to 5 years in N.H. State Prison and three suspended sentences of 3½ to 7 years that can be brought forward in the next 10 years.
"The arrogance and audacity of your conduct is stunning to me," Nadeau said.
As part of his sentences, Skaltsis is prohibited from soliciting investors in any state and cannot engage in real estate. He must pay $277,743 in restitution plus a 17 percent administrative fee, according to Senior Assistant Attorney General James Boffetti.
Skaltsis's attorney, Carl Swenson of the NH Public Defender's Office, said his client is taking responsibility for his actions and plans to pay the restitution "in good faith" as there are other pending civil cases against him.
Skaltsis was originally charged with 15 counts of theft by deception and four counts of theft by misappropriation of property for falsely accepting about $327,500 in loans from 13 area residents to rehabilitate distressed real estate properties for resale.
Despite the promises he made, Skaltsis never used the funds to purchase, renovate or sell any properties, according to Assistant Attorney General Robert Adams.
"He immediately converted those funds to his benefit," Adams said.
Skaltsis, who was arrested in January, was sent to the psychiatric unit N.H. State Hospital for a year after he allegedly attempted suicide in Wells, Maine Oct. 12. Police found him inside his vehicle with a generator running.
Skaltsis, who served as school board chairman in 2002, allegedly used the money to pay interest from previous investors, commingled investor funds in personal account, deposited cash in other funds and used some for personal use, according Adams.
Swenson asked the court if Skaltsis could remain in Strafford County jail to allow his mother to visit him this weekend before being transported to State Prison.
Strafford County Sheriff David Dubois said he would consider the request if it arrives.
Ex-Dover school official Skaltsis gets 18 months, must repay $278K to swindled investors

This was until Carrot joined. Carrot is a human who was raised by dwarves, thus he considers himself a dwarf. He's the ultimate innocent, but yet he has a way of getting people to listen to him and follow him. By the time of Jingo, he's been raised to Captain (no comic book jokes, please). This all happened in the first City Watch book, Guards Guards. In subsequent books, the Watch has grown almost exponentially. It now has over 50 members, with more joining all the time. In fact, Jingo jokes a couple of times about how Vimes, the commander of the Watch, doesn't know that somebody's joined. It's very common for him to say "Who's that?" and be told that he signed the paperwork.
Jingo involves an island that has suddenly appeared between Ankh-Morpork and the land of Klatch. Klatch is based on the Arab countries of our world, and there are quite a few jokes about how something that was supposedly invented in Ankh-Morpork has been used in Klatch for years. The people of Ankh-Morpork have a lot of the same stereotypes of Klatchians as exist in the real world about Arabs as well. Pratchett goes to great lengths to show just how stupid this is.
Read more ›Those of us who were around when Maggie (excuse me, Baroness Thatcher) launched her little homage to the 19th century in the Falklands/Malvinas will probably enjoy "Jingo" a little more than others I suspect, but the book itself rings true on so many different levels that it transcends such a particular interpretation. This is Pratchett on the subject of nationalism, militarism and racism with Sam Vimes as usual cast in the role of ironic observer and moral center.
I actually liked seeing Vetinari out and about more, and it's clear that this novel marks the beginning of a more three-D presence in the Discworld universe for both Sergeant Colon and the ambiguously human Corporal Nobbs. Leonard of Quirm needs more work though. Once you got the initial conceit, he became tiresome quite quickly.
Captain Carrot, Sergeant Angua and Corporal Detritus do their usual sterling service. I had hoped for more from Constable Visit-the-Infidel-With-Explanatory-Pamphlets given that the conflict between Klatch and Ankh-Morpork was partly a religious one, but you can't have everything.
Perhaps my favorite things in the novel were the face-off between the city nobles and Vimes, the Demon Pocket Organizer, and Vimes' precise and beautifully-articulated exposition of the differences between soldiers and policemen. Vimes, I suspect is an old-fashioned copper who believes in justice, rather than merely protecting and serving the law. Too bad the LAPD doesn't read Terry Pratchett.

Attackers bomb Pakistani founder's home
Police office who fought back killed
Assailants bombed the home of the Pakistani founding father early Saturday, killing a police officer who fought back and injuring an employee, authorities said.
The home of founding father Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah is in the country' s militant-hit Balochistan province.
Four attackers entered the home in the dead of the night, planted the timed bombs and fled, said Tahir Nadeem, the local deputy commissioner.
All memorabilia in the home was destroyed by the fiery blaze that engulfed the wooden areas, Nadeem said.
The items included chairs, beds and historic photographs of the founder.
The attack occurred in Ziarat, one of the country's top tourist points. It is 150 km from the provincial capital of Quetta
Jinnah spent the last days of his life at the home.

This Time It Will Be Different
The floors are rid of dog hair and dirt
Walking barefoot is disgust-free
An oily, aromatic glow rises up
From my dining room table
Dishes washed and put away
Crumb-less counters
Paperwork completed and stacked
Filing could happen
Miracles are in the air
I turn as if ritualizing the room
Facing the four directions
Smiling at the order and empty plains
It's like some part of my interior
Has been decluttered
Calm settles over the kingdom
I vow to "Keep it this way"
I will wipe the counters and floor
Every morning
I will sweep up dog hair and sand
As it appears
I will not hide dishes in the dishwasher
Until I run out of forks
I will not let the unopened mail
Get lost amongst newspapers and magazines
No, I am a changed woman
Without dog nose smudge
There is nothing to restrain the sun
As it pours through glass
Dropping unhindered onto
The sides and backs of sunbathing critters
Who litter my otherwise clean floor
I shade my eyes with my right hand
Gazing over calm seas
While I sip a cup of mango green tea
A domestic scene
Of peace and simplicity
Unhindered by distracting chaos
If only it could always be this good
But then it happens
It's inevitable
The morning I oversleep
Or the cat throws up
And routine falls away
In ruins
I rush out the door
Dishes and crumbs everywhere
I arrive home
Too tired
To do more than walk the dogs
And collapse
It begins innocently enough
A bread board left out
Like a tongue saying "Aaaagh"
A pair of work pants
Draped bodyless over the side of the tub
Muddy paw prints
Leaving a map of a dog's journey
Once again
Chaos reigns
With an evil laugh
Until the circle of housecleaning
To real life and better things to do
Begins once more
6 comments:

Shampoo with conditioner
Shampoo conditioners are a nice solution if you don't have time to use two applications. Formulated to condition your hair while you shampoo, the shampoo and conditioner in one is a great option for ensuring that your hair gets the conditioning it requires. Shampoo and conditioners are gentle enough to use on a daily basis.
Much more than clean hair
Choosing a shampoo for color treated hair is the shampoo for you if your hair contains a color treatment. It will retain your color while cleansing your hair and scalp. If you find that daily shampooing is shortening the life of your color, try the color-treated shampoo. If dandruff is an issue for you, try a dandruff shampoo. It is especially tailored to remove dandruff buildup. Dandruff is caused by excess dead skin cells on the scalp and accumulates on the hair and scalp. There are many different dandruff shampoos to choose from on the market today.

The president told the Des Moines Register that he wants to continue expanding the program in his next term and focus even more on STEM education.
In July, the Obama administration kicked off the national Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Master Teacher Corps program with $100 million in funding. The program will start by training 50 STEM teachers, but the plan is to increase that number to 10,000 teachers over the next four years and to 100,000 over the next decade. The idea is that these specifically qualified teachers will spread their skills and knowledge to other schools and educators around the country.
When those fresh batches of science and math students are out of high school, they will face dauntingly high college costs.
During the campaign, Obama promised to continue to increase the Pell Grant program, which provides need-based financial aid for college. Critics claim that raising the amount of aid doesn't help, because colleges will just continue to raise their costs to meet the increased demand. The Pell Grant got a large boost in Obama's first term with an influx of money that was made available when the administration eliminated the federal guaranteed student loan program, which went through private banks.
Immigration reform
While our school systems adjust to produce more tech graduates, Silicon Valley will need fresh talent. One solution is to allow qualified workers from other counties to stay in the United States and take those jobs after college. So far, however, the Obama administration has faced difficulty passing relevant immigration reform.
"We need more green cards so that all these people who are stuck in limbo, these millions of skilled workers -- doctors, scientists, engineers, computer programmers -- can get permanent residency," said Vivek Wadhwa, an entrepreneur and vice president at Singularity University. "They're here legally, they've done everything right."
One potential fix is the bipartisan Startup Act 2.0, which would provide up to 50,000 visas to foreign STEM students who get their master's or doctorate degree in the U.S. The new category of visa would require recipients to work in a science, technology, engineering or math field continuously for five years before they can become a permanent legal resident.
The proposal would also pave the way for entrepreneurs to start businesses in the United States, which could lead to more jobs.
The bill is supported by some tech heavy-hitters, including Google, Facebook and Microsoft, and is currently being considered by a congressional committee.
