It's the same with porous pavements. They are installed in 300 relatively small areas. What scale do we have to do with those interventions to have them be effective? That's a research question.
What is a city's role in combating climate change, given its global scale?
Cities are emerging as the first responders. It's of necessity. It's the right level of governance to deal with these superstorms and enhanced coastal flooding due to sea-level rise. They see their constituents every day, they don't just helicopter in and helicopter out.
One of the neglected aspects of Superstorm Sandy is the challenge to people as well as infrastructure. How do we improve the climate resilience of people?
There's a tremendous strain on everyone, and you can see the vulnerability. I spent the storm with my 97-year-old mom. We've raised those issues but we need to do much more. There's also the health aspect. Like in New Orleans, there's mold [after flooding].
We need to work on this social aspect. I was on a conference call yesterday with a colleague from Bangladesh. He offered to send help because they have a lot of experience dealing with this, especially the social aspects. They've created in Bangladesh an explicit social network around flooding. People know: this is the group of people I'm going to be caring for. People who [live at low elevation] are connected to people who are high. That leads into this mental health aspect. If people feel part of all that, it will help. That's why the volunteering has just been fantastic. New Yorkers are fantastic in terms of their community response. Let's study that more. How can we nurture and strengthen those community mechanisms?
Do you think Sandy will change the conversation about climate change?
Is this a tipping point? I think it is, in terms of response. I don't think in six months people are going to say "Hurricane Sandy, what was that?" Certainly not in the New York metropolitan region. Everybody now knows that storms are different. This one-in-a-multi-century storm [in terms of risk of occurrence] is a wake-up shout.

Summer Olympics, 8 p.m., NBC
Tonight, Gymnastics: women's team final; swimming, finals: men's 200m butterfly, men's 4x200m freestyle relay, women's 200m freestyle, women's 200m individual medley; diving: women's synchronized platform final. I love the synchronized diving. In our family room, the kids gather every pillow we have in the house, including all the big cushions, and they create a giant mosh pit of sorts, and then they spend hours leaping off the back of the couch into the squishy pile and taking photos of the jumps. Their synchronized stuff is spectacular.

McLean: Grand opening of pet stores! You name it!
Richardson: The parking lot of a car dealership. We did it. Wherever we could play and get exposure. Wherever we could sing a cappella and show people that we're not just pretty faces, we actually have talent, we can sing. We sing with passion, we sing with soul and we love to sing. That's what we did.
CNN: That was your YouTube back then.
Richardson: Yeah, we got discovered via a VHS tape to a record label. Now people are uploading videos on the Internet and that's how they get discovered.
CNN: Do you have an opinion about which way is harder?
Carter: It's all relative. We're not taking away from people's hard work nowadays, it's just a different world. I can't relate necessarily. I can only say what we've gone through. But, the social media with YouTube and everything, it does give people an opportunity to expose yourself and if you have talent it will come out. I think that's a great thing. If we had had that back then, who knows?
Dorough: But it was during that time that we were developing.
Richardson: We were growing. We were learning who we are.
Carter: I think the fact that we took our time getting around the world, that's one of the other reasons why we're able to be here and have this staying power. Because sometimes the social media, it's so fast, that people get it, but to hold on to it, it isn't there.
CNN: Any last words?
Richardson: Ultimately, we just want to say that our fans -- number one -- is why we're still here.

North Cascades National Park Restaurants
North Cascades National Park Restaurant Reviews
There are no formal restaurants in North Cascades National Park, just a lakeside café at the North Cascades Environmental Learning Center. The only other place to eat out is in Stehekin, at the Stehekin Valley Ranch dining room or the Stehekin Pastry Company; both serve simple, hearty, country-style meals and sweets. Towns within a few hours of the park on either side all have a few small eateries, and some lodgings have small dining rooms. Don't expect fancy decor or gourmet frills—just friendly service and generally delicious homemade stews, roasts, grilled fare, soups, salads, and baked goods.

Outdoor: They Do Windows
It's only been recently that window graphics have become a viable market for printers. But now that they are, they have begun to offer a great opportunity for boosting sales and profits.
Print service providers are always looking for ways to diversify their services and expand their customer base. For many, a great place to seek additional customers is as close as the nearest retail and commercial streets of their hometowns.
In today's economy, it's likely at least a few storefronts lining those streets will be vacant, and as such will offer a kind of street-level billboard space ideal for a window graphic. Other stores may be open, but hurting. The owners of those stores could be interested in window graphics that can turn heads and get patrons in through the doors.
It's only been recently that window graphics have become a viable market for printers. But now that they are, they have begun to offer a great opportunity for boosting sales and profits.
Reinvigorating Downtown
Many companies specializing in window graphics have seen the nature of their work evolve considerably over the years. Such is the case with Inwindow Outdoor, a seven-year-old New York City-based business that started out hanging bus shelter posters inside the windows of vacant retailers in Manhattan, then expanded to other cities, says CEO Steve Birnhak. "We began just using part of the window, and then decided on using the entire window real estate," he said. "We took this vinyl and filled an entire window, and from there we realized there were other parts of the building façade we could use. So we started creating basically billboards at ground level."
Today, Inwindow Outdoor serves 17 markets across the country, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Houston, Chicago, and Miami. It has also branched out into digital campaigns that feature a cutout in the vinyl allowing large-scale images to be projected on the window glass from inside the retail space.
Inwindow Outdoor's work appeals to customers for a number of reasons. First, the graphics are unexpected. Motorists and pedestrians are prepared to see a retail storefront, and instead view a large advertisement. Second, those advertisements are at ground level, making them more noticeable than a billboard. Third, they're unique. By their nature, they conform to the buildings, and no two are alike, Birnhak said.
Inwindow Outdoor doesn't design the graphics. Design teams and ad agencies handle the design work. Instead, Inwindow Outdoor works closely with its printers. "They're pretty complicated to do, because if you're off on just one area [of the building], you pretty much have to go back and do it all over," Birnhak said.
The majority of business is conducted through media buyers working on their own or with agencies, who tout the advantages of using Inwindow Outdoor. "When we first started, people weren't sure what this was," Birnhak said. "And landlords weren't sure this would be a profitable way to leverage their vacant real estate. But as we've become more established, this has turned out to be a win-win for real estate and advertising. And lastly, it's also a win for the community, because it takes these vacant spaces that are depressing, and gives them some energy and vibrancy."
For the most part, Inwindow Outdoor's clients are very well known international companies. Recently, the company undertook a technology-heavy campaign for Intel, in which passersby were able to text in their thoughts about the future and have those observations instantly woven into ad messages on the building.
Another memorable project involved Pepsi's rebranding campaign, whose large and colorful graphics "looked great on our storefronts," Birnhak said.
Wrap It Up
Chesapeake, VA-based Action Graphics & Signs, Inc. is another company that transitioned into window graphics from a somewhat different type of business.
Owner John Hall bought the business from a member of his family, who had been marketing signs created from cut vinyl. Today, its AG Wraps division handles window graphics for clients' storefronts, as well as wall murals and vehicle wraps.

Fast Delivery 3ft Single Bed Divans with Storage
Single divan beds are great for guest bedrooms and kids rooms; they're inexpensive and offer you a great night's sleep. You can also choose one of our single beds with drawers if storage is an additional feature you're looking for.
We have a variety of single bed divans for sale that accommodate any budget and any bedroom. If you are looking for a cheap single divan bed, consider some of our low cost divans, that even come with 2 free drawers. Often used as a guest bed, these quality 3ft divans are perfect for when someone comes to stay.
The majority of our divans include 2 free drawers, adding useful storage space to your bedroom. They are aesthetically pleasing and simply pull out from the divan base. Single divan beds with storage are also very affordable, and worth paying for if you're particularly space conscious.
For something more traditional, take a look at our mid-range divans. Orthopaedic divan beds are extremely popular for their extra firm support and lasting high quality. Upholstered with a hand tufted finish and filled with a 12.5 gauge wire, these divans provide maximum strength and durability. Orthopaedic divan beds are ideal for a guest bedroom or a bed you will sleep on yourself. Great value at every day low cost prices.
If you are looking for a more expensive divan, then a Silentnight or Sealy might be what you are looking for. Their superior divan beds feature visco elastic memory foam, which is a temperature sensitive material. This softens upon contact with warm surfaces and therefore shapes to your profile when you lie on it at night. By moulding to your body contours, memory foam mattresses improve blood circulation and eliminate pressure points.
The divan base is also an important detail. When buying a luxury single bed divan, look for a sprung base as this acts like a shock absorber, increasing the life of your single mattress.
Although the divans are sold without a headboard, Archers has an expansive stock available, meaning you can match up your dream single divan with the ideal headboard.
As part of our 10 day Divan Bed MegaSale, these cheap single divan beds aren't available at this price forever. So don't miss out, Order your single bed Today.

Opportunity to Comment on Mining Proposal
The Plumas National Forest, Mt. Hough Ranger District, is initiating a 30-day scoping period in response to a Plan of Operations submitted for placer mining. Mining activity was first authorized under the 1872 Mining Law. This along with subsequent regulations require the Forest Service to respond to mining Plans of Operation and ensure operations are conducted in a manner to minimize adverse environmental impacts on Forest Service system lands.
Edwin Bright has proposed operations on the El Rico Mina placer mining claim, which is located along National Forest System Road 26N81, near Greenville, California. The legal location is T26N, R9E, Section 4, MDBM. The Plan as submitted would authorize excavation of placer deposits along the edge of the road. Excavation would be completed with a rubber tired backhoe and/or bulldozer. Additional material would be tested within the road bed. An auger would be utilized to drill 25 holes in the road, 10 inches in diameter and 6 feet deep. Material would be processed on site through a trommel and recovery bowl. Water for the operation would be pumped from an existing well and pond, and returned to a sediment pond. The proposal also includes intermittent occupancy at the site in two camp trailers.
The timeframe for the proposed operation is 5 years. Seasonal operations would occur between April and November depending upon weather conditions. Annual reclamation would include stabilizing the site against erosion and removing heavy equipment and smaller portable items. Final reclamation will include replacing excavated material, grading to natural topography, seeding for re-vegetation and removing all equipment.
We are asking for comments and concerns about this project. Comments will be used to identify issues and develop conditions of approval for the proposed operation. To assist the Forest Service in identifying and considering issues and concerns on the proposed action, comments should be as specific as possible.
How to Comment and Timeframe:
In order for your comments to be incorporated most effectively, we would appreciate receiving them by January 7th, 2013. Your comments should be forwarded to Leslie Edlund, Assistant Minerals Officer, Mt. Hough Ranger District, 39696 Highway 70, Quincy, CA 95971, (530) 283-0555. Comments may be (1) mailed; (2) hand delivered between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., weekdays; (3) faxed to (530) 283-1821; or (4) electronically mailed to: email@example.com. Please indicate the name "El Rico Mina" on the subject line of your email. Comments submitted electronically must be in rich text format (.rtf), plain text (.txt), or Word (.doc).
Comments received, including the names and addresses of those who comment, would be considered part of the public record on this proposal and would be available for public inspection (Authority: 40 CFR 1501.7 and 1508.22; Forest Service Handbook 1909.15, Section 21).

Medicare Part D:
Prescription Drug Plan Sponsor Call Center Responses Were Prompt, but Not Consistently Accurate and Complete
GAO-06-710, Jun 30, 2006
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(312) 220-7767
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) established a voluntary outpatient prescription drug benefit, known as Medicare Part D. Private sponsors have contracted with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide this benefit and are offering over 1,400 stand-alone prescription drug plans (PDP). Depending on where they live, beneficiaries typically have a choice of 40 to 50 PDPs, which vary in cost and coverage. MMA required each PDP sponsor to staff a toll-free call center, which serves as a key source of the information that beneficiaries need to make informed choices among PDPs. GAO examined (1) whether PDP sponsors provide prompt, courteous, and helpful service to Medicare beneficiaries and others and (2) the extent to which PDP sponsor call centers provide accurate and complete information to Medicare beneficiaries and other callers. To address these objectives, we made 900 calls to 10 of the largest PDP sponsor call centers during March 2006, posing one of five questions about their Part D plans during each call. We tracked the amount of time it took to reach a customer service representative (CSR), the number of calls that did not reach a CSR, and the appropriateness and clarity of CSRs' language. We developed criteria for determining accurate and complete responses based on CMS information.
Call center service was generally prompt and courteous, and many CSRs offered helpful suggestions and information. GAO reached a representative in less than 1 minute for 46 percent of the calls CSRs fielded and in less than 5 minutes for 96 percent of the calls fielded. While GAO did not reach CSRs for 4 percent of the calls it placed, mainly because of disconnections, GAO found that 98 percent of CSRs with whom GAO spoke were easy to understand, polite, and professional. In addition, many CSRs provided helpful suggestions related to GAO's questions, such as details about a mail-order option to obtain drugs or lower-cost drugs. However, CSRs at 10 of the largest PDP sponsor call centers did not consistently provide accurate and complete responses to GAO's five questions, which GAO developed using information from CMS and other sources. GAO obtained accurate and complete responses to about one-third of the 864 calls for which GAO reached a CSR. The overall accuracy and completeness rate for each call center ranged from 20 to 60 percent. CSRs were unable to answer 15 percent of the questions posed, primarily those related to plan costs. Furthermore, CSRs within the same call center sometimes provided inconsistent answers. For example, in response to questions about PDP cost comparisons for specified sets of drugs, CSRs at 3 call centers told GAO that it was against the sponsors' policies to identify any of their plans as lowest cost. However, other CSRs at each of these call centers did not cite this policy and did identify a plan as lowest cost. In commenting on a draft of this report, CMS criticized the analysis as based on inaccurate, incomplete, and subjective methods that limit the report's relevance and validity. GAO maintains that its methods are sound and its findings are accurate. CMS officials told GAO at a May 2006 meeting that CSRs should have been able to accurately answer the questions GAO posed.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 2:48 PM - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
A person with knowledge of the situation says Lance Armstrong has apologized to the staff at his Livestrong cancer foundation. He did so before heading to an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because the discussion was private.
Armstrong addressed the staff Monday and said, "I'm sorry." The person said the disgraced cyclist choked up and several employees cried during the session.
The person also said Armstrong apologized for letting the staff down and putting Livestrong at risk but he did not make a direct confession to the group about using banned drugs. He said he would try to restore the foundation's reputation.
Armstrong urged the group to continue fighting for the charity's mission of helping cancer patients and their families. After the meeting, Armstrong, his legal team and close advisers gathered at a downtown Austin hotel for the interview.

Escaped child killer Alan Giles may be in Alcester (From Ledbury Reporter)

Escaped child killer Alan Giles may be in Alcester
1:37pm Thursday 31st October 2013 in News By Ian Craig
CHILD killer Alan Giles, who absconded from a Worcestershire prison on Monday, may be in the Alcester or South Warwickshire area, police believe.
The 56-year-old, who is currently serving two life sentences at HMP Hewell in Redditch for the kidnap and murder of 16-year-old Kevin Ricketts from Quinton, Birmingham, in 1995, went missing on October 28.
New information has led police to step up patrols in Alcester and the surrounding area.
Officers believe he could be sleeping rough in woodland, barns or outbuildings and have said anyone harbouring him could be committing a crime.
He is described as a white man, 5ft 9in tall with short grey hair and blue eyes. He has a scar on his forehead and a tattoo of an eagle on the back and a swallow, shark and flower on his left arm.
He is thought to be wearing a grey Rocksport sweater, blue jeans and white Asics trainers and may be using public transport.
It is unclear why he left the prison on the morning of October 28 but police are concerned about his state of mind.
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Judge urged anyone who spots him not to approach him but call police on 999.
"We are carrying out extensive searches to find Giles and we are leaving no stone unturned in our investigation," he said.
"We would like to reassure the Alcester community and other people living nearby that there are a number of officers out and about in the area and we are doing all we can to get Alan Giles back in custody as soon as possible."
Anyone with any information about Giles' whereabouts is asked to call 101 and ask for Redditch CID.

People are not sure what to call it-excessive partisanship, bad behavior, negativism, gridlock, polarization, stridency, intolerance, ideological extremes. It is collectively, 'incivility' and it is, arguably, worse now than it has been in American history.
Something must be done about it.
Pundits such as Washington Post's George Will and the Washington Examiner's Michael Barone have argued otherwise. Barone, for example, recently bemoaned the bemoaners of what he called 'hyperpartisanship' in American politics, suggesting that the problem is not as bad as it may seem and attempts to rectify it in the past have just made matters worse. "These days," he wrote. "you hear academics and pundits bemoaning hyperpartisanship of our politics. It has never been worse, some say."
(I always wonder who the "some" or "many" are. Journalists quote them incessantly. But I digress.)
Barone disagreed with the 'somes', citing the 1880 Adams-Jefferson race as worse, and the Burr-Hamilton and Andrew Jackson-Charles Dickenson duels as examples of more despicable behavior than we have today.
He could have also cited Jackson's 1828 Presidential race against John Quincy Adams during which Jackson's wife Rachel was called a whore and they, bigamists. Jackson blamed her death on the ugliness of the campaign.
Who produced a TV ad implying that Mitt Romney was complicit in the death of a Kansas City woman, whose husband lost his job because Bain Capital closed his plant?
Believe what you will about it being worse than ever. I think it is, with the possible exception of some years leading up to the Civil War. It isn't just one striking incident that makes the difference anymore, although the ad about the woman's death is just plain barbaric.
In the past two decades there has been a sustained parade of ever-escalating incivility. And, in this election year, the gutter couldn't be more crowded. In just the last month, the Obama and his surrogates have accused Mitt Romney of the death, committing a felony, not paying any income taxes, tax evasion, racism, being rich and mean to his dog.
Obama has been accused of faking his birth certificate, killing the work requirement in welfare, harboring a terrorist sympathizer in the State Department, paying off supporters with government contracts, suppressing the military vote, and lying about a whole host of things.
But what's the point? Does it have to be the worse before we do something about? Have we not matured at all since 1800? Should we not judge today's behavior by a different standard than 200 years ago?
Are we not better? (our italics added)
Barone missed the target on another aspect of the 'hyperpartisanship' discussion. It's not the real target, nor is it the real issue. He should have fixed his crosshairs on the broader, wider, more pervasive and more threatening problem of political and social incivility.
It is the reason partisanship is on steroids.
Unfortunately, pundits and politicians don't address incivility in politics because it is hard to define, and therefore hard to measure. The Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania defines incivility by using violations of congressional rules and procedures as a gauge; another organization measures it by monitoring news accounts of unseemly political behavior; columnist Kathleen Parker describes it as bad manners.
Ray Smock, former House historian, dismisses these attempts to measure civility: "We need a new way to measure civility and dysfunction than the limited historical anecdotes of the past or the feeble attempts of social and political scientists to count things, make charts, and declare civility in Congress to be better, worse or about the same," he wrote in October of 2011.
"Despite the brawls of past history I maintain that the civility in Congress, on both bodies, but especially in the House, is at one of the lowest ebbs in congressional history. It is a crisis that should concern all Americans," he said.
Maybe he would appreciate the work of two University of Colorado professors who concluded that civility is, in essence "constructive confrontation."
Civility and its antonym don't need exact definitions for the public to know what it finds unacceptable in our political discourse, as Carolyn Lukensmeyer of the University of Arizona's National Institute on Civil Discourse, points out. To narrowly define it, just makes it more difficult to address. Defining it too broadly renders the discussion less meaningful.
Civility can't be defined with statistics or measuring sticks; it can only be done with judgment. You know it when you see it.
And, according to research, most Americans seem to. They believe the lack of civility is destroying our political process. Research commissioned by Weber Shandwick found that 63 percent of Americans think incivility is a major problem that complicates the resolution of major issues and deters qualified people from entering public service.
Another survey by U.S. News found that 89 percent think civility is a serious problem. A majority of Americans expect it to get worse.
Eighty percent think campaigns are uncivil. A USA today study in 2010 found that 61 percent of Americans think TV news is pushing politics to be less civil.
It's not just the public that believes incivility is a problem. The Institute of Politics at Harvard, the Annenberg Center, the Institute on Civil Discourse, the Byrd Center at Shepherd University, the Congressional Institute, the Aspen Institute, the Center for Civil Discourse of the McCormick Graduate School at the University of Massachusetts, the Congressional Management Foundation, the Bipartisan Policy Center and the latest, the-are you ready for this?-the Schwarzenegger Institute for State and Global Policy at the University of Southern California, are just a few of the reputable organizations committing their resources to restoring civility to the public square.
Incivility has infected our body politic like a cancer. It is not a problem. It is a crisis. It renders our political leaders and policy makers unable to govern. It discourages good people from running for office. Those who do get so boxed in to rigid promises, pledges and commitments, by the time they take office they are politically impotent. It diminishes the quality of our public servants and makes it almost impossible for them to do their jobs.
Our government and our political process are broken because good politics and good governance cannot take place in a hostile, angry, divisive environment in which the rules of decorum, decency and collaboration are ignored.
We've even gotten to the point where lying, itself, is no longer a political liability. We are living in an age when lying is called factual selectivity; when we convince ourselves that what we say is true or true enough, regardless of its veracity.
Columnist Michael Gerson observed in July that political polarization "causes some to abandon civic engagement in disgust, and others to join angry ideological insurrections. In Congress, it adds to the obstructive power of cohesive partisan blocs..."
Look no further back than the yet unfinished 112th Congress. Members of what was once a great deliberative body, couldn't pass a farm bill or a transportation bill, or any of 12 appropriation bills. The Postal Service is $5 billion in debt, but they couldn't agree on a reform bill. Our country is continually under assault from cyberspace, but they couldn't agree on a cyber security bill.
They are still facing harsh deadlines on the expiration of almost 80 tax provisions. They haven't dealt with the alternative minimum tax, Medicare payments to doctors, and a soon-to-be-breached debt ceiling. Welfare reform is two years late. They couldn't agree on tax and spending reforms in 2011, so they copped out and created a mechanism called sequestration that will produce a trillion dollars in indiscriminate cuts in government programs if nothing is done.
Blaming Congressional inaction, the President has embarked on a dangerous course of changing government by executive fiat, removing government one step further away from the prerogatives of the people.
The most used expression in Washington is "kicking the can down the road," the euphemism for failure. Meanwhile, the country is still muddling through the slowest economic recovery in history, with 23 million people still unemployed or underemployed and millions more suffering from the anxiety of the unknown, worrying about whether their pensions are safe, paying for college educations, paying the rent, keep their homes out of foreclosure, and even putting food on the table.
Survey research has found for the first time that people don't believe their children will be better off than they. Respect for the institutions of government is as low as it has ever been. That is the human toll of incivility and a government frozen in time. This is not normal and it should not be allowed to become the 'new normal.'
We must change both climate and behavior.
There are three fundamentals of change, inextricably linked to one another: politics, the media and public attitude. One cannot undergo change without the others.
There are probably not a lot of starkly right and wrong answers on how to bring about serious change, but there are plenty of choices. Here are some:
1. On the political front, we need to change the rules and procedures that govern Congressional action, particularly the restrictions on participatory democracy like the filibuster in the Senate, and the rules that dictate how legislation is considered in the House.
2. The practice of gerrymandering congressional districts predetermines who can and can't run for office must change.
3. National campaign financing practices that disenfranchise local voters must be reformed.
4. We should even begin to challenge the excessive control of political parties over the governing process, as proposed by former Congressman Mickey Edwards in his new book.
There are many other inhibitors to politicians working together, deliberating honestly and making decisions collaboratively. Some of it is as basic as putting members of Congress together more often in bipartisan and personal setting where they can get to know each other and work with each other on a different plain.
In the media, those people who want to engage in the political process need more outlets that offer facts and information over opinion and talking heads that yell at each other. They need more light and less heat. The media should distinguish between 'infotainers' and journalists, and insist on coverage of real issues like the economy, trade and energy development, rather than pet dogs, painted rocks, income tax returns, birth certificates, garage elevators, and family vacations.
The media need to put aside the bias, silence the empty-headed antagonists, quit trying to incite riots, confirm their facts, tell us who their sources are, quit interviewing each other, refuse to cover rumors and innuendo, and quit promoting their own books and television shows.
They need to focus less on igniting passions and more on stimulating the mind, informing the intellect, so that people are better able to do what needs done, not only in politics, but in their daily lives.
Most importantly, the American people need to take control of the government for which they are responsible.
Benjamin Franklin, leaving Constitution Hall in Philadelphia, made clear the public's role. When asked by a woman who wanted to know what came out of the constitutional convention, Franklin said: "A Republic, madam, if you can keep it."
It is, ultimately up to the people to exercise oversight over all, the institutions of government and politics and the media. That means re-establishing the values on which they want government to function and enforcing them.
If survey research is correct and most Americans want good governance, civility, problem-solving and collaborative politics, then they have to elect people with the courage to compromise.
It doesn't matter whether you want government smaller or government bigger, policy makers and politicians have to act in order to reach those goals.
There's a choice to be made. Civil discourse is essential to reaching solutions, whether you're in national government or at the kitchen table.
Ohio Senator James Garfield tried to explain that to a divided and rancorous Republican convention in 1880 in his nomination of Senator John Sherman for President. What he said to the delegates applies to those who have turned this 2012 campaign into a back alley brawl 130 years later.
He described the convention as a "human ocean in a tempest".
"I have seen the sea lashed into fury and tossed into spray, and its grandeur moves the soul of the dullest man. But I remember that it is not the billows, but the calm level of the sea, from which all heights and depths are measured..."
Final actions, he said can only be determined when conditions are calm and the true measure of public opinion can be seen.
When will we be a more mature people, ultimately responsible for the governance of the Republic, demand that the tempers be quieted and the sea be calmed, and the character and human respect befitting the country be restored to the conduct of our public business?
It had better be soon.

Forewarning: This is more a cry for help than an interest check thread.
What I'm about
I'm a twenty-year old kid from Norway who's sick to his stomach of sci-fi, fantasy and all other magical, fantastical or supernatural genres or themes. Fewer and fewer roleplays on this site have any root in reality. I crawl the interest check threads daily, but it's been a while since anything really caught my interest. Most of the plots and characters I see are weak, fundamentally flawed or don't make a hair of sense. Many seem not to grasp that a character is a tool to tell a story, whether it's in a book, movie or roleplay. In the same spirit, a plot is a collection of events which make the story, not to be confused with the premise or motive. To be clear, "vampires going to high school" is not a plot, but a motive. Superficiality and ignorance are two things this site's user base seems to have in abundance.
Creativity levels seem down. I see all the same fandoms, all the same ideas. The site has become more and more homogenous since I joined, which is why I'm not going about it the usual way this time. I have no wish for this roleplaying community to become stagnated. I'm not going to tell you what I want from you, nor am I going to push any "rules" on you. These are creativity-suppressing factors I would like to avoid. My wish is to encourage you to use your brain, not to follow my recipe.
What I'm proposing
Option 1: Send me an IC private message, starting off a RP. I will reply IC within 24hrs and we'll be in a RP.
Option 2: Send me an OOC private message with a genre, time period or with whatever details you'd like to include in the RP. Within 24hrs I will have sent you an IC private message back, starting off the RP with any and all premises you sent me.
Option 3: Poke me with an OOC private message. You don't need to include anything else than that you're interested in doing a RP. Within 24hrs I will have replied with an IC private message, starting off a RP.
For fun, and to see what kind of reaction I get, I also made a poll. If you have more to say about the subject, comment down below.

Make It Real — Part 1: Off the Beaten Path
Brad Bird. Robert Zemeckis. Chris Landreth
Hi. Im Ellen and Im here to explain a few things. Like how it is, in a year with two important CG animated features from major directors, that a short subject by a relative newcomer is going to blow all things digital out of the water. I should explain that I am as damaged as the next guy, Lord knows Ive got my own issues and that this is just my humble opinion but Im getting off topic here because this article isnt about me, its mostly about a guy named Chris
On a grey Toronto afternoon, I sat down with that splash of color named Chris Landreth to talk about three films:
Brad Birds The Incredibles, which is currently wowing audiences with its bold action sequences and wowing animators with the audacity of its all human cast;
Robert Zemeckiss The Polar Express, a less popular but still interesting mix of magic-realistic characters, exhilarating roller coaster rides, nightmarish images, Christmas schlock and a few genuine moments of real screen magic which audiences dont seem to know quite what to do with;
And most importantly, Landreths own animated documentary Ryan, which uses a hyper realistic/surrealistic approach to focus on the life and career of NFB animator Ryan Larkin.
Since each of these films tackles the challenge of creating compelling virtual humans in distinctly different ways, I was interested to see what could be discovered by discussing them with someone who is thinking about animation in truly original ways.
We started our conversation with The Incredibles.
Now while I liked this film, Im personally disappointed in its videogame structure and relative lack of character development, especially compared to what Bird achieved in Iron Giant.
Noting that, in his opinion, Iron Giant is the best Hollywood animated feature ever made, Landreth expressed his disagreement. Compared to other Pixar films Ive seen, says Landreth, The Incredibles is by far the most extensive in character development.
And he also liked how The Incredibles found, within a mainstream context, a pretty clever way to express the characters psychology. Of course, anyone who has seen Ryan knows that this is a subject close to Landreths heart.
In Ryan, the characters psychological states are revealed with physical distortions inspired by the portraiture of such artists as Francis Bacon. Reversing the natural order of things, Landreth puts his peoples insides on the outside, ending up with characters who might literally wear their hearts on their sleeve.
By comparison, in The Incredibles theres the notion of embodying the characters psychological states in their super powers. As an example, Landreth offers Elastigirl, who stretches all over the place. I look at that as being an extension of the person who, in the classic sense of the dysfunctional family, stretches herself to accommodate, rescue or enable people, says Landreth, Or the teenage daughter who has real personality development issues and what can she do? She can disappear and put a barrier around herself. What a great manifestation of these peoples dysfunctionalities.

On the morning after Election Day, George W. Bush held an unofficial lead of 1,784 votes in Florida, but to his campaign strategists the margin felt perilously slim. They were right to worry. Within a week, recounts would erode Mr. Bush's unofficial lead to just 300 votes.
With the presidency hanging on the outcome in Florida, the Bush team quickly grasped that the best hope of ensuring victory was the trove of ballots still arriving in the mail from Florida residents living abroad. Over the next 18 days, the Republicans mounted a legal and public relations campaign to persuade canvassing boards in Bush strongholds to waive the state's election laws when counting overseas absentee ballots.
Their goal was simple: to count the maximum number of overseas ballots in counties won by Mr. Bush, particularly those with a high concentration of military voters, while seeking to disqualify overseas ballots in counties won by Vice President Al Gore.
A six-month investigation by The New York Times of this chapter in the closest presidential election in modern American history shows that the Republican effort had a decided impact. Under intense pressure from the Republicans, Florida officials accepted hundreds of overseas absentee ballots that failed to comply with state laws.

Dot com thank you Venus and you Johnson all right let's move on now to -- told us on this whole issue.
All of chick fillet the brilliant cow joining via Skype from his secret bunker where -- Cheney is just going to go and make a couple of T.
Good to see -- -- Well thank you and got to see and according yes indeed absolutely.
-- so in chick -- yet the guys right here the Blake when -- that this is much ado about nothing and it's it's a question of free speech and what what do you think of the -- being covered and.
I always like I always like my friend that had awfully self proclaimed atheist I'm the expert on jazz and the First Amendment who is sad that the answer to speech you don't like is not less speech is more speech what you -- -- thought police out there now.
Like the mayors of Boston and Chicago and separate sisco who actually suggested.
Before the era attorneys told -- you couldn't do because they would -- checked already for sorting out franchises and our cities simply because the CEO stated a personal.
Believe I don't I find this to be outrageous what are they going to do with other businesses owned by evangelical Christians that are already operating in their systems are they going to hold on before any media inquiry a grand inquisition and say hey do you believe these things if you do we're going to invalidate your license that would be illegal to.
Nobody can say anything anymore the media for example treated Dixie Chicks during the Bush Administration.
Totally different then they're treating idea and Kathy alone flown chick -- Back then -- an interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC.
They describe she described The Dixie Chicks and spirited for saying that they were embarrassed -- -- from the same state.
As George W.
Bush so we got a lot of this stuff the -- thought police can stop go out there.
It and I think it needs to stop.
-- beat I was -- joined to my wife about this cal over the weekend and I I tend to agree with you and and and stop and -- That it's it's a question of free speech and everybody has the freedom to not go to chick -- if they're offended by it if if they want -- -- point was he wasn't speaking.
As a private citizen he was saying we and he -- -- representing that company and that in itself makes it of a different level.
Well you know Ellen DeGeneres was a spokesperson is a spokesperson for -- JC Penney she isn't out of the closet lesbian.
-- some conservatives were upset and suggested that.
JC -- be boycotted I don't I don't have a problem that companies can pick whoever they want as their spokesperson.
And god but here's here's the problem and and be evangelical Christian community.
Feels that its values its fate it's believes it's politics are always under attack.
And any time -- any or do any thing.
The media comes to their door and suggests that they are somehow not mainstream.
And that they should be silenced that they should be discriminated against.
And I think this chick filet businesses simply the last straw for all a lot of people I think on on Wednesday.
We're in Rick Santorum a former presidential candidate senator Mike Huckabee.
The same thing.
Former governor hurdles presidential candidate have announced a -- -- I think you're gonna see chick -- is all over America flooded with the evangelical Christians and other conservatives were fed up being treated this way let's see how the media covers -- That that would add Scott's still -- -- to bring Scott back in.
Cal brings up the -- point of Ellen DeGeneres but.
Didn't didn't the right then mobilize quite a campaign or certain sections of the right.
Mobilize quite a campaign against her and the company she -- whom she was a spokesperson.
I mean isn't the isn't the problem media that whichever side you're wrong you don't like the way the other thing the other side is doing things that's.
Well I've also added talent -- -- with The Dixie Chicks and even if you're member.
-- many radio stations did -- their music so they did have an adverse reaction and it's so I would get on with the other night as I said earlier in the program I cuts both ways.
I believe we have a personal right to what I'm not a -- organized -- and -- pivotal and I stand with the ACLU on this the deal is this.
An end as far as the company even though it's is the company is believed that -- the bullet proof of the pudding is what how is the business run and a chick filet.
There's no discrimination in employment they're gay employees and particularly in Chicago they don't discriminate anyway.
The government can regulate businesses that discriminate.
In the business and employment customer service but they do not have a right to get involved based on the political religious believes that the -- right now.
Yet -- I think on -- one more partly let alone I think it was amusing that the media didn't really at least leave the mainstream so called media.
I didn't really hole Rahm Emanuel -- -- of Chicago.
Accountable for his -- -- -- relationship -- Louis Farrakhan he raging anti semite who said things about homosexuals there were far far more help everybody and -- -- he said -- sinful behavior he said this was an abomination to god he's got all this stuff -- in the -- And and nobody's suggesting that -- -- -- I'm should be.
Silenced and and somebody run a manual says.
Dan -- doesn't recommend it doesn't represent Chicago values.
Was that will lose -- Americana to all those murders every weekend Chicago represent Chicago values come on let's get -- of free speech and stops trying to silence one another.
All right Cal Thomas as interesting in passionate as ever to visit cute couple in the photograph over your right shoulder.
Well well that would be my parents thank you very much all they look is absolutely beautiful as well I'm not an analyst told genetic I think we're gonna talk about to illustrate to seek.
