Forty-ninth session
observations of the Committee on the Elimination
of Racial Discrimination
1. The Committee
examined the eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth and
thirteenth periodic reports of Bolivia, which were submitted
in a single document (CERD/C/281/Add.1), at its 1157th and
1160th meetings held on 5 and 7 August 1996 (see CERD/C/SR.1157
and 1160). In the light of the examination of the report
and the observations made by the members of the Committee,
the Committee, at its 1176th meeting, on 19 August 1996,
adopted the following concluding observations. The Committee
takes note of the document submitted by the Government of
Bolivia on 21 August 1996 concerning legislative proposals
made by the Ministry of Justice for the elimination of all
forms of racial discrimination. This document can be considered
by the Committee when Bolivia submits its next periodic
A. Introduction
2. While the
Committee regrets the long period, since 1983, during which
no reports were submitted by the State party, it welcomes
the submission of the combined eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh,
twelfth and thirteenth periodic reports. The Committee expresses
appreciation for the frank manner in which the report addresses
the actual situation in Bolivia. It also expresses its appreciation
for the additional information provided by members of the
State party's delegation and for their willingness to engage
in a constructive dialogue with the Committee. The information
contained in the report and in the oral answers to its questions
allowed the Committee to obtain a clearer view of the overall
human rights situation in the State party with respect to
racial discrimination.
3. The Committee
notes that the State party has not made the declaration
provided for by article 14 of the Convention; some members
of the Committee requested the State party to consider the
possibility of making such a declaration.
B. Factors and difficulties affecting the implementation
of the Convention
4. Note is taken, with concern, of the conditions of extreme
poverty principally affecting members of the indigenous population.
Poverty is evident in the lack of access to some basic services,
such as provision of clean water, medical care, education
and electricity.
5. The high
rate of illiteracy and the fact that the national language,
Spanish, is spoken by only 44 per cent of the population,
and the large number of languages and dialects spoken in
the country are noted with concern, as they make communication
difficult between the various ethnic groups and, in many
cases, place indigenous persons at a disadvantage in the
defence of their human rights.
6. Concern is
also expressed about the complex problem of drug trafficking
and, in the rural areas, drug production, principally affecting
members of the indigenous population, which the Government,
faced with economic problems and violations of the law,
as well as external pressures, is struggling to eradicate.
C. Positive aspects
7. The progress made in stabilizing the national economy is
welcomed, as are the Government's efforts to reduce the great
disparities between the level of development of the capital
and other urban areas relative to the remote rural areas of
8. In addition,
the Law on Popular Participation of 1994 is welcomed for
its recognition of indigenous communities as juridical persons
and granting to such communities the power to engage in
certain activities independently of the central authorities.
These include the capacity to contract public projects and
to receive international assistance for local development.
9. The abolition
of the practice of debt imprisonment is welcomed. This practice
by definition has affected the poorer sectors of society
and consequently has had important racial implications.
10. The new
measures to provide maternity care and medical care for
infants until the age of five years, under Supreme Decree
24,303, are welcomed and considered to be in conformity
with article 5 (e) of the Convention.
11. The protection
of the indigenous population should be improved by the planned
adoption of legal provisions for the establishment of various
institutions with specific areas of responsibility in the
protection of human rights, including the National Organ
for Minors, Women and the Family and the Sub-Secretariat
on Human Rights in the Ministry of Justice. The post of
a national human rights ombudsman envisioned in the constitutional
reforms of 1994 is also welcomed.
D. Principal subjects of concern
12. Deep concern
is expressed over the lack of legislative provisions classifying
as an offence punishable by law the dissemination of ideas
based on racial superiority or hatred, acts of violence
or incitement to violence against any race or group of persons
of another colour or ethnic origin and the provision of
assistance to racist activities, as required under article
4. In this connection, attention is drawn to the fact that
failure to take such action impairs implementation of article
6 on the right to effective protection and remedy.
13. Attention
is drawn to article 5 (c), in accordance with which all
persons have the right to have equal access to the public
service. In this regard, regret is expressed that the law
on the public service, adopted in 1992, does not expressly
prohibit racial discrimination in the selection of public
14. Note is
taken of the disparities in the access to economic, social
and cultural benefits by different ethnic groups. While
the difficulties in providing such benefits to regions far
removed from the capital are appreciated, the disproportionate
effects that may hinder the relative development of different
communities are of deep concern, as they can perpetuate
racial discrimination towards disadvantaged groups.
15. With respect
to article 7, it is considered that insufficient information
was made available concerning efforts in teaching and education
to combat prejudices which lead to racial discrimination
and to promote understanding, tolerance and friendship,
as required under this article.
16. It is noted
with regret that quantitative information regarding the
ethnic composition of the population, the geographic areas
where minority communities are concentrated, the level of
their standard of living and other educational and social
indices was not provided in the present report. Such information
is essential for the Government itself to detect possible
patterns of discrimination and for the Committee to monitor
effectively the implementation of the Convention.
E. Suggestions and recommendations
17. The Committee
urges the Government to consider its obligations to make
all forms of racial discrimination, as specified in article
4 of the Convention, punishable by law. In this respect,
it notes with satisfaction the indication that the Government
would welcome technical assistance towards this end. The
Committee recommends that the Government avail itself of
the technical cooperation services of the Centre for Human
Rights of the United Nations.
18. The Committee
recommends that information regarding the ethnic composition
of the population, the geographic areas where minority communities
are concentrated, the level of their standard of living
and other educational and social indices be provided in
the next report, which should be an updating report focused
on those questions and subjects of concern raised by the
Committee during the examination of the present report.
It also requests that the next report include data on the
indigenous communities that are affected by drug trafficking
and how the Government's policies and programmes are affecting
those groups. It will be appreciated if that information
includes the amount of land withdrawn from coca production,
the amount of land continuing to produce coca, the number
of persons affected and the ethnic origin of those persons,
as well as the effects of the Government's programmes on
their living standards. If it is considered that assistance
in this area would be helpful, the Committee recommends
that the Government request technical assistance from the
Centre for Human Rights with respect to the collection and
analysis of data.
19. The Committee
recommends that the next periodic report contain detailed
information concerning the draft bill on land reform. It
requests that the report explain how demands for sustainable
development, for the promotion of agriculture and for protection
of the rights of the indigenous and peasant communities
will be reconciled in the draft bill.
20. The Committee
urges that immediate attention be paid to the development
of rural areas where many indigenous communities are situated.
It encourages the Government to consider expansion of the
economic and social infrastructure to enable those communities
to be provided with access to clean water, energy, medical
care, education, and other essential services and, in this
regard, it calls special attention to the situation of the
Guaraní people. The Committee encourages the Government
to seek international assistance towards this end.
21. The Committee
strongly recommends that the next periodic report include
information regarding any measures taken to remedy the problems
outlined in the report concerning judicial sentencing. In
particular, the Committee requests information concerning
the number of complaints of racial discrimination which
have been made and examples of sentencing to be included
in the next periodic report to gain a better understanding
of the way in which the judicial system implements the obligations
of the State under the Convention.
22. The Committee
recommends that the next periodic report include information
on how the Law on University Reform and other related measures
will affect minority students and communities.
23. The Committee
recommends that the State party consider how it may implement
the working provisions of article 7 and incorporate in the
school curricula and the training of persons in the public
service appropriate instruction to effectively combat prejudice
and promote tolerance.
24. The Committee
recommends that the State party ratify at its earliest convenience
the amendments to article 8, paragraph 6, of the Convention,
adopted by the 14th meeting of States parties.
25. The Committee
recommends that the next periodic report of the State party
due on 22 October 1997, be updating in character and that
it address all the points raised in the present concluding

Got the December 2005 issue of Bicycling magazine and read the articles on "invisible cyclists". Had a lot of mixed emotions and feelings but overall I am inspired and impressed by them. Anyone else read this yet?
Got the December 2005 issue of Bicycling magazine and read the articles on "invisible cyclists". Had a lot of mixed emotions and feelings but overall I am inspired and impressed by them. Anyone else read this yet?
I was just reading this article and checking the forums to see if anyone had mentioned this yet. This is a GREAT article, much, much better than the regular Bicycling fare. If you don't subscribe to this rag, it's worth stopping by your favorite bookstore to pick up this issue just for this article.
It certainly put things in a different perspective. Next time you meet a "wrong way, Huffy riding" cyclist you probably won't be quite as judgemental.
Could someone give a brief summary of the article?
This is a different article (written about 2 years ago) but I think it's the general gist of "invisible cyclist"Originally Posted by jakemoffatt
What happened Sunday to more than a dozen cyclists who were mowed down by an errant driver in St. Petersburg ought to remind anybody with eyes open that people on bikes have a right to be on the highway.
The lesson is largely missed in the bay area. Year after year, the ranking doesn't change. We are consistently among the most dangerous places in the country to ride a bike.
Yet some of us still ride.
There are the clubs, like the two represented in Sunday's accident - the St. Petersburg Bicycle Club and the St. Pete Mad Dog Triathlon Club. These are the people who ride, mostly on weekends, for recreation and pleasure, for challenge and competition.
They ride expensive bikes and wear bright outfights and, almost always, helmets.
And then there are the anonymous others, who ride bikes from Wal-Mart or the Salvation Army, who can't afford helmets, let alone the bike shorts with the padded seats. They use their bikes the way the rest of us use our cars.
Gena Torres, a Hillsborough County planner, keeps track of bike crashes. Accidents like Sunday's, involving the Lycra crowd, get the attention. But Torres says most crashes involve the others, a group she likes to call "the invisible cyclists."
Last summer, she spent her workday mornings for a month stopping bicyclists on the street in Tampa. She asked them where they were going, what they were doing. "They were going to work. They were trying to get to their families," she said. "They were trying to get to the store. It was a commute type of trip."
And they were doing it on roads the rest of us commuters pack with automobiles.
These are the streets where the crashes occur, Torres said. Most occur during the day.
The invisible cyclists ride bikes because they have no car. They are too poor. Or they have lost their driver's licenses.
Often, though, they ride their bikes improperly.
They ride without a helmet. Or against traffic. Or while wearing headsets. Or while wearing dark clothing at night. Or without lights. Or they ride drunk.
In other words, sometimes they are asking for trouble.
Sure enough, said Torres, these riders, not the weekend warriors, are the ones most often hurt and killed.
Yet they're not the ones who get the attention. Their deaths are noted only briefly in the paper.
Torres is stumped over how to reach these invisible others, how to teach them the tools of safe biking that people in bike clubs learn from the get-go. She dreams of being able to give away bike helmets and bike lights.
She also wishes she could reach politicians and road engineers, and get them to keep these other, invisible bicyclists in mind.
"If I could give them anything, it would be bike lanes," Torres said.
You name the road. Nebraska Avenue. Florida Avenue. Even Dale Mabry Highway. Torres is all for narrowing traffic lanes to create bike lanes to take these cyclists-by-necessity where they need to go.
Torres interviewed 100 city cyclists last summer. She put their stories together in a package and has twice presented it to officials.
She spoke up to illustrate how out of touch those officials were with the transportation needs of city residents, most poor. They would be lost without their bikes. They must get around one way or another, whether the roads are safe or unsafe.
Torres said she's not very popular with some county engineers now.
It doesn't bother her. "I wanted them to see what I was seeing," she said.
Almost every cyclist around here is an "inisible cyclist." Some call them "folk cyclists." There have been recent threads on other sub-forums. I do wish that these cyclists would learn how to ride a little more safely, for their own sake.
Does anybody here think of themselves as a folk cyclist?
"Think Outside the Cage"
I like the article but haven't finished reading all of it yet. The invisible cyclists are generally undocumented Mexicans who ride bikes because they're poor. Without question, they are car free and are probably a good portion of the bike commuters in any urban center.Originally Posted by thomj513
I didn't know these men go thought many bikes a year. They have to save up for months to buy a new bicycle and we're talking Walmart type not Trek. It's a real sad story about car-free individuals living right on the edge. It goes to show you another side of society that uses bicycles because even public tranportation is too expensive due to their low wages.
On another subject, the article also reviewed the Magna Excitor XP3000 which was the wrong choice of department store bike that should be used by undocumented immigrants. Once again, Bicycling choose the wrong bike which makes me wonder about their other choices of "Bikes that are Right" for cycling.
The right deparment store bike would be a beach cruiser! I've seen beach crusiers in Walmart and they are rock solid. Sure they weight a ton but the frame is solid with no suspension, no gears to fiddle and coaster brake for simplicity. These bikes are practically bomb proof and this is the type of bike needed by those improvished. Not the Magna Excitor XP3000!

I started that way, and I guess I'm still about 25% folkie.Originally Posted by Roody
When I was a kid, I went everywhere by bike, starting about age 8. Little league, corner store, all my friends' houses. Parents did not have time for any of that crap. If I wanted to go, I got myself there. Always on the sidewalk. The world ended where the sidewalk ended.
I started using the streets at age 14, when I got a paper route. 150 newspapers (250 by the time I hung it up) on a Schwinn Typhoon, every afternoon, rain, snow or shine, six days a week for the next three years. And I biked everywhere. To the store. To the arcade. Seven miles out to the country to see some girl.
Then I got a car and didn't bike so much for a couple of years. Sort of rediscovered it when I went to college. Again, biked everywhere. Saw spandex for the first time and wanted to hurl, especially when I saw how badly so many yuppie cyclists biked. Lived car free for several years. I prided myself on being part of a dirtbag underground.
I still do.
I have a nice car, but I use it sparingly. With an elderly, non-driving Mom needing frequent medical visits, in a town with no public trans, that still means driving several times a week. But I bike whenever and wherever I can, and I always reach out to the wrong-way and sidewalk warriors I see every day.
Even though I now --
- wear a helmet
- ride a nice, well-maintained bike
- use lights
- practice VC when I feel it's in my best interest
-- I still consider myself much closer to invisible folkie than day-glo poseur. I wouldn't be caught dead in spandex. No offense. I have no qualms about hopping the sidewalk, or about turning off my lights/hiding my helmet in dangerous neighborhoods. As soon as I can get off my lazy ass, I'm going to paint my bike flat black for the sheer folkie, dirtbag stealthiliciousness of it.

Of course, every one of these guys that is riding a bike now because he is poor will buy a car as soon as he gets a toe-hold in America. So few people in the USA consider bikes as legitimate means of transport and the car is practically an object of religious worship.
The thing that has always bugged me about cheap bikes like the Magna, and even relatively cheap bikes at the LBS is that marketing and perception are so much more important than reality. Instead of a bunch of useless bedsprings masquerading as suspension and drivetrains that can barely shift when new, why not a fully rigid single speed mountain bike? Less stuff to break, easy to maintain. Oh yeah, I keep forgetting, if people ever start being logical I'll know for sure that I've been teleported to a different planet.
You're the first person I met who does the same things I do regarding lights and helmet. When entering a bad neighborhood, I'll turn off my lights but there's not much I can do about my helmet. I wish there was a helment manufacturer who made one that looked like a ball cap! Then you could really ride stealth in the slums.Originally Posted by budster
I ride sidewalks too but at 5 mph and only for cruising the downtown shopping district.
The difference between me and the "invisible" cyclists is only that of education. I own about 10 cycling books on repair or safe riding. Even one called divorce your car, even that 10 pound effective cycling monstrosity.
A used single speed huffy or beach cruiser can be had for 50 bucks with some effort, many times with fenders. A cheap led light set can be had for 20 bucks, patches and a pump, a lock, in theory 100 bucks can set u up as an expert commuter-- if you shop and are well informed.
But who is well informed out there? Certainly not even the drivers where I live. Indifference is the key, people just don't care.
My friend Tony told me that I would get my butt kicked riding with a helmet in our neighborhood. "They'll think you're a mushroom head dork."
So far, no problems. I feel safer in the inner city, with street lights and manageable traffic, than I do on those high speed suburban roads at night. It gets dark out there!
"Think Outside the Cage"
I understand the turning off the lights to be stealth thing.. but why remove the helmet?
Lets say I'm riding through cracktown (mere blocks from my flat) and some junkies/thugs step to me because I've stopped too long at the wrong intersection and they like the look of my sled...
I would rather be wearing my helmet during whatever is going to happen next.
I don't know about where you people live, but the crack head's definatly can't run as fast as I ride. I keep them light's blazin and keep on peddalin. I my self have a foot in both worlds. I ride a well equiped bike, carry tool's, wear a bright yellow helmet, a saftey vest, reflective pant retainer, oh and my helmet has a mirror on it. I am a bit more anarcical when it comes to the way I ride. I basically follow traffic laws that I benefit me, and I ride my bike absolutley everywhere. I don't drink alcohol because I refuse to ride drunk, I do ride stoned a bit, but I've done it enough and there is really no difference in my riding ability. I also ride more cautiosly while stoned so I'm actually safer than normal, but slower.
I never thought there was a need to stealthful in "bad" neighborhoods. I suppose tha fact that the inner city here is a far cry from North or East St. Louis, or Gary, or the ole Kabrini greens area. I've only heard horror stories about these places. wne I have had to ride thorugh some of Minneapolis' "Drug Zones" I am a lot more cautious. I also get a lot of kidding, several time a couple of the crack hoes called after me "Hey Biker Man you straight?" I just chuckled and kept riding.

"The more you drive, the less intelligent you become." Miller "Repo Man"
I don't understand what is wrong with being an "opposite warrior." It is much safer for me to see the cars heading at you at 40mph+ than to be passed unexpectedly.
The city where I live is full of these "invisible cyclists" ... they often commute to work by bicycle, rain, snow, sleet, hail, and sun. I ride in the winter, and these people put me to shame by being out on days I wouldn't consider riding.
Secondly, from the point of view of a driver, I feel a lot more confident rolling past a cyclist riding the correct direction on the road because I figure he/she knows what he/she is doing and won't likely do anything rash. However, when I'm driving along and there's a cyclist coming toward me, I'm terrified that cyclist is going to suddenly dart across the road or do something foolish because he/she is already breaking the law, so what's one more infraction.
Third, from the point of view of the cyclist, it makes it very difficult to follow traffic signals (lights, stop signs etc.) which are designed to be approached from a certain direction ... it makes it difficult to follow other rules of the road.
I suppose I should try this riding on the right, but I guess that means I'll need a mirror because otherwise I have to turn around every 10 seconds to check the approaching traffic and this seems to put me at more risk than being able to constantly look forwards. Once I get a mirror, "folk rider" or "opposite warrior" I'll be no longer!
And I don't think anybody will be disappointed with a "beach cruiser" bike because they are great for mostly on-road riding! Much smoother than my mountain bike with less tire rolling resistance; it is probably the next best thing to an all out road bike.
why do you need to see the cars approaching you from behind?
Three year old thread being revisited by a troll post.
Beach cruisers are fine for flat, or nearly flat, terrain, but the lack of gears makes them problematic in hilly areas.

About how we view coffee and our motivations for drinking it. Tonx, I think, agrees! But he does so in a lot more detail and in a much more coherent manner… (If you aren't reading his guest posts this week at Dethroner you are missing out – if only he would post this often on his own blog!)
3 thoughts on "I am not alone in my ranting"
I'm making up for lost time!
The article lays out nicelly some of the really high hurdles that need to be jumped in order to get better coffee in the cups of more poeple.
I don't know how this happened without my noticing, but what a great series!
I do my best to make specialty coffee more approachable, but seriously.. I've never seen it done so well.

Dear Finley, One day, you will learn a very scary word–biopsy. The reason doctors order biopsies is to determine if tissue is malignant, which is a fancy word for cancer. Several weeks ago, I learned that I need to have a nodule on my vocal chord biopsied. "They biopsy everything these days," I reminded myself. … Continue reading

Also, most preschoolers have mastered the art and science of the dreaded temper tantrum, which is another way of … Continue reading
Life Lesson Letters to Finley: On being a parent
Dear Finley, Mother's Day was last Sunday. You were sick as a dog–feverish, coughing relentlessly, exhausted. Daddy and I suffered alongside you, having lived through two worry-filled days and sleepless nights. This certainly didn't make for the Mother's Day we had planned. We didn't go to a nice brunch together. I didn't escape my duties … Continue reading

Dear Finley, From the moment you are born, time and change have you in their grip.

It was only a few short months ago that we checked in with our friends in Maine, Brian and Elsa, for the first time. They were preparing to become parents for the first time! And then there he was. Otis emerged a bit earlier than expected, but he was healthy and oh-so-welcome to the world. Otis' dad, Brian, took the time to kindly catch us up on life with a new baby.
Out into the World
"It was a surprise this week to glance at the calendar and see that Otis is already four months old. It's also surprising to look out the window and see it's finally spring, which the Mainers just call "mud season." And it's super surprising to find myself working an honest-to-god day job as of last week — my first following nearly eight years of full-time freelancing — while Elsa's wrapped up her maternity leave and gone back to the co-op part-time. Big changes around le cottage du Kevin.

I bought these and bamboo wipes as well as the Warmies Wipes Warmer on this site. I wasn't a fan of the bamboo wipes, but I love these in the warmer and on baby. They stay soft (I use a dryer because we can't dry outside where we live) and the edges remain intact wash after wash. They work great in the wipes warmer as well with a few spritzes of bum wash. A great product!Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!

UT Advocates Podcast: The University's Graduation Czar
Earlier this month, I joined Tim Taliaferro and Andrew Roush from the Texas Exes to record a UT Advocates podcast for The Alcade's website. The recording session lasted nearly an hour; yet the talented UT Advocates' production crew managed to pare it down to a compelling, succinct 17-minutes.
During the conversation, I was able to share a few updates on the graduation and enrollment management front, as well as share the early successes we've seen with our fall 2012 freshman cohort. It was a fun experience, and hopefully I'll get to join the Texas Exes for another podcast soon.
I invite you to listen below.

Jane Flynn was raised in Pacific Palisades, in Los Angeles, California. As a young person, she was about as far removed from agriculture as possible but she became intimately involved with it after moving to Gerber, CA as a young bride. Mrs. Flynn raised six children on the farm before becoming a "farmer by default" after her husband's untimely death in a plane accident in 1986. She felt a responsibility to the men who worked for her husband and her family to keep Pacific Farms going. In the years since Mr. Flynn's death, Pacific Farms has continued to innovate and Mrs. Flynn credits the operation's success to the farm's experienced management team.
Brendon Flynn is a third generation farmer who was born and raised in Tehama County in Northern California. Pacific Farms was originally started by his grandfather in 1952. Brendon holds a B.S. in Agricultural Business from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.
After working in many different areas and disciplines related to agri-business, Brendon decided to return to his family's farming operation to pursue a career in production agriculture. His focus on diversifying the scope of Pacific Farm's business and the desire to bring a product directly "from the field to the consumer" has led to the Pacific Sun venture.
Leslie joined Pacific Sun in 2005. She was raised in Southern California and became involved in the business through her sister, who is married to Brendon Flynn. Leslie is involved in the tasting, blending, sale and distribution of Pacific Sun's olive oil. She enjoys promoting the nutritional & healthy benefits of good, fresh California olive oil. Fall is Leslie's favorite time of year at Pacific Sun because that is when milling begins and when the new olive oils are tasted for the first time.
Winner of the 2015 California Olive Oil Council Miller's Recognition Award, Pablo joined Pacific Sun in March 2011. Pablo's wealth of experience working with other producers of fine California extra virgin olive oils is a great asset to the Pacific Sun team. Pablo sits on the California Olive Oil Council tasting panel and the UC Davis tasting panel. He will assist Pacific Sun with milling and blending the olive oils, and also with sales.

Stone Soup brings affordable and healthy cafe options to Tulsa
TULSA, Okla. - Charity group Stone Soup offer services that allow customers to pay what they can when purchasing food.
They recently handed out lunch at the Phillips Theological Seminary on north Mingo road.
Every month the group plans to switch up their location to offer more Tulsans the chance to visit.
This is part of a new venture to encourage citizens to eat healthy and be able to afford fresh gourmet meals.
"Many of us have the ability to purchase at a farmers market or to go to a fine dining establishment, but some in our community don't have the financial resources to do that," said Stone Soup Community Venture CEO Christy Moore.
Stone Soup also partnered with the Seminary to provide neighbors with instructional community garden.
They want to teach garden skills and nutrition.

I was planning on working on the Nosferatu town north of Calishem on my Qashya Mal (western reaches) map. I was planning on doing this anyway, but since this challenge came up first - I will make it the challenge.
Walled town on a small mountain river (at a fork of two rivers), upland environs and perhaps the bloodstone mines just to its north as well.
I want to try a hand-drawn style using Torstan's technique with dodging and burning - that is hand-drawn/3D terrain effect (really quite cool!) Of course I don't use a tablet, so I'll do it slightly different. But this is my goal.

Kigali Memorial Centre, Gisozi/ pic: I, Inisheer
Switching from French to English instruction in schools and joining the British commonwealth were some of the moves Rwanda made to turn the page on what it considers a Franco-colonial genocide past.On visiting Rwanda, Josh Kron writes in the Guardian that even though Rwandans now downplay their Hutu and Tutsi ethnicity, Tutsi, because of the "historical contingency" in Israel's and Rwanda's genocide experiences, are now more inclined to play up their "Jewishness" and also trace their genealogically connection to Israel:
...what caught my attention most were the references to Israel, the references to the Jews. At first it seemed obvious; as historical cousins of genocide Israel and Rwanda had a special bond. Like Israel, Rwanda had escaped genocide to become a shining example in a troublesome part of the world. But the reference and affirmation was much more than historical contingency; it was, according to them, true blood. According to some historians and Tutsi scholars, the group originally came to Rwanda from Ethiopia in the 15th century. Although played down by the current government, the belief persists. To Tutsis, the genealogical lineage to Ethiopia connects them to a greater constellation including ancient Hebrews.

Philosophy & Love
Is Love An Art?
Kathleen O'Dwyer asks if we can learn how to love, with Erich Fromm and friends.
"For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation" Rainer Maria Rilke.
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it" Jelaluddin Rumi
Love is a universal human phenomenon: we all need to love and to be loved. An acknowledgement of this need is beautifully portrayed by Raymond Carver in his poem 'Late Fragment', from Staying Alive: Real Poems for Unreal Times:
And did you get what
You wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
Beloved on the earth
However, love is also a uniquely personal experience which can never be fully articulated. From a philosophical viewpoint, the concept of love raises many questions: What does it mean to love? What is the relationship between love of self and love of others? Is love an instinctive emotion, or is it a decisive and rational commitment? In his best-selling 1956 book The Art of Loving, German philosopher and psychoanalyst Erich Fromm (1900-1980) examines these questions and others relating to love, and he puts forward a strong argument that love is an art which must be developed and practiced with commitment and humility: it requires both knowledge and effort.

Your Account
My background is as a hairdresser for 38 years, but I have a bad back and can't stand a long time anymore. I spent some time traveling in a motor home, selling at flea markets, but that was getting very difficult, and I wasn't making enough money.
Through social security, I got a low-income apartment. I felt that I didn't have a life, and that I would like to work. I went into the manager of our apartments and I asked her what I could do so that I could work without my rent going up. She told me about Goodwill Industries® of New Mexico.
I went to Goodwill® and found out it was the Senior Community Service Employment program (SCSEP), not just Goodwill. I enrolled in the program in 2008 and started at Ser de New Mexicto as my first host agency before I was rotated to Goodwill.
When I got to Goodwill, the lady who was doing data entry for the program put in her resignation, so they asked if I'd like to apply. I applied and got the job. I do the data entry for the SCSEP program and I also do pre-enrollment assessments for the participants that are coming into the program.
I love everything — the data entry is just an adventure to keep everything clean in the system. Doing pre-enrollment assessment is wonderful because I can share my experience with the people. A lot of people have given up hope, feel that life is over as a senior, and are in such dire situations. It's so hopeful for them to get into this program and for their life to change.
Since I started working at Goodwill, I've gotten a new car and a four-bedroom home with friends. I have a life that's purposeful and meaningful. I really wanted to be a part of something that was helpful to others, and this is what Goodwill is about.

Your comment will be held for moderation until approved. For questions about Goodwill programs and services, please use our locator and contact your nearest Goodwill headquarters.
Julie's Journey is what the SCSEP Program is about! Thank you for Sharing this wonderful and enlighting story!
God bless you Julie – your story is an inspiration!
I find this story very inspirational considering I'm also in the SCSEP program in Tucson, Arizona working at one of the Goodwill stores. I'm regaining skills in something totally different and plan to put in an application as soon as possible because I want to be permanent with Goodwill since they are giving me this second chance at having employment at my age. Without SCSEP and Goodwill, I would probably be still unemployed what with today's economy and places not hiring the older worker as much.

After years of working in temporary modular units and trailers, officers and civilian staff have moved into the new El Mirage Police Department building near El Mirage Road and West Cinnabar Avenue.
The police started working out of the building on Dec. 9 but the grand opening ceremony was Jan. 23. Dozens of people, including West Valley mayors and council members, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and representatives of Luke Air Force Base gathered to celebrate and tour the 22,000-square-foot facility.
The new station is just one of several large projects that are helping transform what was once a small town into a thriving West Valley city, El Mirage Mayor Lana Mook said.
City Manager Spencer Isom noted that the population of El Mirage swelled to 32,000 from 7,000 just in the past decade, growth that put pressure on old civic buildings.
The building is next to Gateway Park and west of the new YMCA, which is scheduled to open in the spring. In 2012, the city opened a new Fire Department building on El Mirage Road, a facility that spared firefighters from having to sleep on air mattresses in the old station house.
The previous hodgepodge of temporary buildings was not suitable for a police department in a growing community, Mook said.
"The facilities were outdated, cramped and did not provide space for policemen and women to operate," she said.
The city had added temporary structures to the former police station on Primrose Street as the department outgrew the structure over the years. The Primrose Street station had opened in 1985.
Members of the John F. Long family donated the 18-acre site for the Police Department, YMCA and park. Funding for the new civic buildings was controversial.
El Mirage voters approved an $8.5 million bond measure in 2011 by a handful of votes, just as the local economy was beginning to recover from the Great Recession. About $6 million of that total was spent on the new police station.
Police Chief Steven Campbell choked up several times as he recognized everyone who helped with construction of the building and the move to the station.
Police officers and other workers tested every desk and chair and participated in a survey about color schemes. Workers moved tens of thousands of pieces of property and records, without a hitch, he said.
"What was once a dream becomes a reality," Campbell said.
In contrast to the old complex, the new building has secure systems where one door does not open until the one behind it is locked. Safe lockers for weapons are spread throughout the complex. A workout room is full of new equipment, with large washrooms, and the booking area has holding cells for groups and individuals. The door to the front lobby and counter is open 24 hours a day, she said.
"We love it," said Sgt. Annita Boynton, the department's spokeswoman. "We're just so grateful to the people of El Mirage."

City and county governments countrywide laud wireless networks and wireless handheld devices as key to greater efficiency, cost savings and improved customer service for mobile work forces.
In northern San Diego County, Calif., 24 public nurses employed by the county's Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) participated in a pilot that tested using wireless tablets and a Web-based referral system to improve health services for HHSA clients.
The Problem
Before the pilot, public-health nurses faced many obstacles, such as erroneous or incomplete referral information, in attempting to contact clients. The nurses dealt with an 18-step, paper-based process; it sometimes took months to process referrals and reach people in need.
Time was spent retracing steps and making phone calls to get the right information; traveling from client homes to the office was time consuming, and administrative tasks required office time and often created duplicate entries.
"It was startling to find that 98 percent of our referrals before the pilot were inaccurate and incomplete," said Nick Macchione, deputy director of the HHSA. "That meant 98 percent of the time, we had to get on the phone and track people down to get the info."
The agency serves many pregnant and post-delivery mothers who often have high-risk pregnancies due to a lack of prenatal care. Although such patients needed timely care, the referral process was typically slow and inaccurate. For example, Macchione said, it was common for a public-health nurse to receive a referral from a clinic or hospital with incomplete information.
In a typical scenario, a nurse would arrive at a specified address -- an eight-story apartment complex. The next two hours might be spent interviewing residents and the apartment manager to track down a pregnant woman whose visit to the clinic initiated the referral process. This time spent searching would be better spent counseling.
"We found out time was wasted tracking down information from incomplete referrals, which delayed assignments," said Macchione, noting that an average of 54 days elapsed from the opening of the case to the first client contact.
The Plan
The concept behind the business process re-engineering project dates back 11 years to the birth of the e-government model in San Diego, said Macchione, explaining that the new tablet pilot project is a natural extension of the transition toward e-government that began back then.
To address the incomplete referrals problem, the county partnered with referring agencies and discussed agencies filling out the referral forms online.
"When we started, 18 steps were needed to process referrals and serve clients, and those steps took roughly two to three hours per referral," Macchione said. "As a result of the pilot, the same tasks take five electronic steps in less than three minutes. We no longer needed a supervisor to decipher the clinical information since it was all there for the nurses to use in the field. The Web-based tablet made sure the forms were accurate and complete along the way."
The North Inland public-health region of San Diego County, where the pilot project was tested, covers a land area close to the size of Rhode Island. San Diego County is divided into administrative regions, with respective divisions of Public Health Services. The HHSA's Public Health Services division employs about 150 public-health nurses divided among those regions.
Macchione was asked by the board and the county chief administrative officer to oversee one of the business process reengineering projects being tested countywide.
"Ours was truly the service personnel piece: to test the concept of a truly mobile and remote work force that could be replicated beyond the walls of our agency," Macchione said, adding that the HHSA was chosen for this experiment because approximately one-third of its employees work in the field as social workers, nurses

Voices and Sounds
Shapira continues with his defense of his book. Here it is in his own words:
Here is the article that he is responding to:
Just a reminder. Shapira still has not revealed to his audience where they can read the entirety of my article.
And a little clarification. The Zohar that Shapira is speaking of is NOT discussing the voice of God. It is discussing the nature of the sounds that the Jewish people heard BEFORE the giving of the Torah. The Zohar uses the word "gevanin" to speak of different aspects of the sound. The Zohar is applying a word from the realm of vision to the realm of sound. It is teaching that the sounds that the Jewish people heard consisted of two aspects; or shades if you will. The Zohar says nothing about the voices of different personalities

Idea of the Day: The Influence of Second-Generation Immigrants Is Increasing
It has been nearly one year since the Senate passed a bipartisan immigration bill—the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act—and since then, the House of Representatives has done little to move the process of reform forward in any meaningful way. With the November 2014 congressional and 2016 presidential elections just around the corner, the window of opportunity for the current House to pass immigration reform is closing quickly. As House Republican leaders consider whether they will take action on reform this congressional session, they should remember that the time to pass reform is not the only thing that is coming to an end; the window of opportunity to gain support among Latino voters for the upcoming elections is also quickly closing.
In the last two election cycles, Latino voters have been vital to Democrats' victories in both the congressional and presidential races. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), for example, won 90 percent of the Latino vote in 2010, allowing him to narrowly fend off his Republican challenger, Sharron Angle. Similarly, Latino voters helped secure President Barack Obama's 2012 win in key states such as Colorado and Virginia, with 71 percent of Latinos supporting him nationally. In the days following the 2012 presidential election, a stunning array of conservative pundits and lawmakers, including Bill O'Reilly, asserted that the Republican Party must gain the support of Latino voters if it wished to be a viable party in future elections. They were correct: The influence of Latinos is only increasing as they become a larger share of the U.S. electorate.

Want even more Arrested Development episodes than the promised ten? Want even more unconfirmed Arrested Development rumors to raise your expectations even higher than they already are? Either way, these David Cross quotes should have you covered.
Speaking to Rolling Stone (via), Tobias Fünke himself pushed through the questions about cutoffs to give an actual update on the new Netflix season, saying:
"I think it's going to be 13 episodes, not 10. There's too much story. Some characters will have two-parters. Everybody sort of participates, sometimes in a bigger way and sometimes in a tiny little thread that goes through everybody else's stories.
I'm not gonna divulge anything, but I know what the stories are and what Mitch [Hurwitz] is doing, and it's so layered. It's really audacious and amazing. I think a lot of people will miss the work that is involved, the story, the Venn diagrams that are being created, the domino effect that characters have with each other in their various episodes. I know what he's doing, and this has never been done on a TV show like this. This makes Lost look like a Spaulding Gray monologue. You'll have to watch each episode more than once."
Exciting! But I can't help but feel Ron Howard's narration will lose something closing each episode with, "On the concurrent, overlapping-timeline episode of Arrested Development..."

Enough of this clipless crap ... anyone have a recommendation for a no-slip, high-grip platform pedal? The ones on my low bottom bracket recumbent are cheap. No interest in a clipless, this is for recreational riding and I don't have any problems of my feet slipping off of the pedals.
Here are five contenders.
The first are the Grip Kings from Rivendell, shown beside a standard MKS pedal. I don't like the two thin lines design of the MKS.
Second is Crank Brothers 5050X.
Third is the Sun Zu Zu

STORRS, CT -The fifth-ranked University of Iowa field hockey team (17-4) lost a defensive battle today, 1-0, in double overtime to No. 11 Boston University in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Terriers scored the winning goal during the 88th minute.
Boston University controlled the ball for the majority of the game but the Hawkeyes played phenomenal defense within the circle, allowing only six shots.
With less than 10 minutes remaining in regulation, junior Caitlin McCurdy attempted two shots. The first was stopped by the diving goalkeeper and the second was too high.
At the end of regulation, the game remained scoreless. Both teams were held to no penalty corners during the second half.
With nine minutes remaining in the first overtime, Hawkeye goalkeeper Lissa Munley made an outstanding diving save allowing the Hawkeyes to play on.
Boston University's Sarah Shute missed a scoring opportunity when she broke away from the Iowa defenders and was all alone with only Munley to beat. Shute lost her balance and allowed the Hawkeyes to take possession of the ball. The game remained tied at the end of the first overtime.
Midway through the second overtime, Suus Dukker scored the game-winning goal.
Munley played outstanding, stopping a season-high 10 shots. The Terriers held the Hawkeyes to a season low in shots (6) and penalty corners (1). All of Iowa's shots came during regulation.
