Short Story by: inlalaland
Enjoy and comment. Thanks.
Miles and Miranda continued to seldom pack in a strained enviornment, only to learn that nothing was going to be better when they were forced apart, especially by something so histrionic, so awkward. And it wasn't long after that Miles figured out that he had placed himself in the position unintentionally. Did he mean every word that came out of his mouth-- No. Only his questions. Were his statemants backed by overwhelming and candid feelings? Absolutely.
The Almighty knew he loved Miranda with all his heart, but the ignorance in her girlish mind, the stupidity in her choices, compelled him to a tyrade that was written out in his mind with love. She was being too credulous about the whole thing. She was more than ready to jump into a place that he never even wanted to visit. Lest he forget that she didn't heed the photos of his uncle post-mortum. All in all, he did mean his brooding, but not the attitude. The attitude was what he expressed in the place of amatory.
He had to apologize. But only she knew how.
Miles threw his last jacket over his suitcase. It was there so he can have it handy, because it was nearly time to leave.
While checking on Miranda's progress, he tried his personal best to formulate an apology in hiss head, which had proved to be more difficult than having a chess tornament in the middle of a rock concert. In the end, the best he came up with was,'Sorry for yelling and all, but you were just being ignorant.' He didn't even consider saying that and failing to come up with a more sincere apology, he decided to go with the one that was about to exit his mouth, the one with his lame, naivete, and honest words.
He stood at the doorway and Miranda watched him expectantly, as if he was going to preach a sermon. Her hands were resting in the alluring dips of her waist and her head was arrogantly cocked to one side. She didn't just want an apology-- she was demanding it. Just as his father when he was uneasy, Miles bent spread his legs, bent his right knee, and precariously rubbed his neck. The stance made him look slightly older than his seventeen year-old age and alot like a contrite, testostrone-taut, man.
"Hey, Minnie?" he said anxiously. He gave her that name because the original Minnie's dresses had the same little dots and innocence that his half-sister had. Not mention she was 5'5''. "You have a minute, do you?''
''I dunno. Are you going to yell at me or get in my face? Because if you get in my face, it will take half of a milisecond for me to sock you in yours.''
I took alot for him not to laugh. ''I'm not going to do any more than those two things to hurt you. Ever. I probaly won't get in your face ever again.'' Unless I kiss you, he thought.
Miranda looked down in reluctant approval, then worked her jaw to conceal a small grin.
''And I really am sorry,'' he continued. ''I felt just as bad as you did after I said those low things. I hit below the belt calling you a spoiled brat. I'm so sorry.''
She started over to him for a hug, but then stopped short in front of him. ''Why did you say it?'' she asked, her up-turned lips changing into a down-hill frown.
Miles' adam's apple dived and bobbed before he said,"I was being mean because I was raised that way. You know that. Dad-- George taut me not to show such cheesy and strong emotions like sadness, anger, hate...'' his voice tailed off before he said the opposite of that. "Point is, it didn't mean a thing. It shouldn't. You know that you're one of my best friends, and friends yell at each other when they have no one else to yell at. I love you."
"I love you also,'' she said, embracing him.
He couldn't be anymore relieved. Her hug drew him to sheer ease and the restored lightness of the room was a breath of fresh air.
"But just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you don't have to be open. If you can't be open with George, be open with me all of the time. Okay?''
There lay the problem. To say that he was always going to be open meant saying that he loved her-- in an amorous way. He there was no way in this world that he'd ever get around to it, let alone tell her at all. There was no telling how she'd react. For the eternity, he was stuck in the friend zone, the zone that was now his home because that was the zone for people who were practically brothers and sisters. Miles was consumed in his own thought and confusion, so he forgot that he was still holding his sister. He sighed and then pressed his lips against her forehead.
"Believe me. I'm trying."

College GameDay experts split picks in the Texas A&M-Alabama game
ESPN's College GameDay did their preview show from College Station this morning, which meant the game was the subject of the famous Lee Corso mascot pick.
Before he did though, two others weighed in.
Analyst Kirk Herbstreit picked Texas A&M. As did guest picker Lyle Lovett, a Texas A&M alumnus.
Then the attention turned to Corso.
"Last year I picked A&M over Alabama," Corso said. "How'd you like that crowd? Alright, way to go. Remember and I also picked Johnny Manziel to win his second Heisman. ... Don't take it personal Aggies. This is strictly business."
Corso put on the head of Alabama's elephant mascot, Big Al.
He uttered two final words: "Roll Tide."
You can watch the video of the picks below:

Resolving Patients' Vaccination Uncertainty: Going From "No Thanks!" to "Of Course!" [Feature]
In recent years, there has been an increase in patients refusing to get immunized, concerned with potential side effects or unconvinced that the shots are necessary. That has allowed some previously declining diseases to make a resurgence. Physicians, who remain the biggest influence on whether patients get vaccinated, need to find ways to address and overcome these reservations when talking with patients about getting immunized. Strategies include explaining the risks and benefits of vaccination; steering patients toward factual, pro-vaccination websites and literature; and working with community leaders and clergy who may also influence patients' decisions about vaccination.

THE Welsh health minister announced a funding boost extra funding of £3.5million yesterday [Friday, July 18] to go towards reducing inequalities in local communities.
Mark Drakeford AM, said primary healthcare services across Wales are set to get a boost to deliver a wide-range of services locally rather than depending on hospitals.
The funding, which will be made available from this year, will also be used to develop primary care teams and provide eye care services closer to home.
Professor Drakeford said the money would also help to create a workforce to use GPs' time more effectively and train more advanced nurses, therapists and pharmacists to work alongside GPs.
Because of the funding, work can be made towards reducing premature deaths from cardiovascular disease in deprived communities.
Professor Drakeford said: "We have a health service which is free at the point of need but that doesn't mean that it is free of obligation – we all have a duty to take responsibility for our own health and to use our health services appropriately.
"This new funding will help realise our ambition to create a strong, highly-trained primary care workforce, which can deliver a wide-range of services in local communities, reducing our dependence on hospital-based care.

Reef the Lost Cauze ft. Big Noyd - What We Rep
Heads who have followed the careers of Philadelphia emcee Reef The Lost Cauze or Queensbridge veteran Big Noyd hardly need to be told what the Northeastern underground mainstays stand for. Fortunately for those behind the curve, however, Reef takes this newly-released lead single (and first feature as a headliner) as an opportunity to bring the uninformed up to speed: "We're from the slums, the gutter, the ghetto, the dirt… what you expect, it's What We Rep." Backed by the gritty but tuneful soul-sampled boardwork of No Love beatsmith J-$crilla, the collaborators pay tribute to their home streets in chilled-out but aggressive verses loaded with hard-nosed braggadocio and trash talk. Like what you're hearing? You can find plenty more of Reef's raw and uncut rhymes, along with the hard-hitting production stylings of $crilla and Stu Banga (together known as Guns-N-Butter) on aptly-named full-length Fight Music, scheduled to hit record stores and online retailers June 8.

You don't get to hire three general managers unless you're the owner. The next hire by Suns president Lon Babby will be his last at the GM position. He will either nail the hire and retire as a success or be fired along with this upcoming hire. This will be his last one and then he's done hiring.
Rebuilding an NBA team takes years. So many people love to point at the Oklahoma City Thunder. "That's how you build a franchise," they'll say. I think we all know that the Thunder are how you build a franchise, but do not act like there wasn't pain. Second-to-last in the West in 2007. Last in 2008. Thirteenth in 2009. Playoffs and a 50-win season in 2010.
The Seattle SuperSonics made one spectacular trade when an NBA owner made a terribly cheap move and traded away a player (Kurt Thomas) and two first round picks to Seattle just because he didn't want to pay the luxury tax. That's right, Seattle gave up only a second round pick (and the non-guaranteed contract that goes with it) so one team could dump their salary.
The Sonics/OKC made great trades and draft picks to get to where they are today. The Suns have made some great trades to set themselves up for the future. They have failed in the draft. In two years of drafting, the Suns have Markieff Morris and Kendall Marshall to show for it. The Thunder got Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka and Harden during their down years. The great trades are meaningless if you're not drafting home runs or at least doubles.
Lon Babby will never get enough credit for getting the Suns out of the Warrick, Childress, Turkoglu, Richardson, and Lopez mistakes. I don't think Lon Babby will ever get enough blame for the Lance and Lindsey era of Suns history. The next two months will determine if the Suns are headed on the OKC path or blazing a trail with the Wizards and Bobcats.

Tampa Gun Show - Mar 9th & 10th
At the Fairgrounds. If you attended the last one there prior to Sandy Hook, it was PACKED, with lines of traffic on MLK and 301.
I imagine it will be an even bigger zoo this weekend, but I'll be swinging by anyway.
I don't think I will drive to Tampa and then have to turn around and drive home. I'll wait a year or so and try one of the shows at Lakeland again after things have calmed down. Besides, our LGS is pretty well stocked.
I may be there. It's only a 45 minute drive and our LGS either are out of stock or mirroring the jacked-up-out-of-reason prices seen elsewhere.

Military thrift stores may have to start charging state sales tax next year, potentially inflating prices at checkout for those who may be able to afford it the least.
To prevent that, San Diego Assemblywoman Toni Atkins has introduced legislation to extend the current sales tax exemption for on-base thrift stores.
"Maximizing the amount of money that goes toward assisting veterans and active-duty personnel is a small acknowledgment of the many sacrifices they have made for their fellow Californians,' said Atkins, a Democrat.
Her Assembly Bill 163 would make permanent the sales tax exemption due to expire Jan. 1, 2014.
Money raised by the sale of merchandise supports emergency financial assistance for active and retired military families in need and financial literacy programs for them, Atkins said.
The exemption is not unique. Goodwill and Salvation Army store sales are tax-exempt.

History of the Eddleman Family
Editors note: Many of these dates have since been found to be incorrect. The reader has to remember that usually the least reliable way to gather hard information about a family history. Legends, myths and exaggerations by our ancestors often gets passed on as fact. Any place that I can verify as being incorrect will be noted and pointers to correct information will be provided. These questionable or obviously false areas will be marked asblue links. By clicking on these links the reader will be directed to verifiable information.
Early History of the Eddleman Family, as related by David Jones Eddleman, who was born June 2, 1834, as it was told him by his father, James Eddleman, who was born February 22, 1799, the son of Peter Eddleman, Jr., who was born on the oceanAugust 15, 1762, while his parents were en route to America from Germany. Said parents being named Jacob or Peter Eddleman Sr. and Margaret Sharer Eddleman.
In the year 1762, Eddleman, Sr., his wife, Margaret Sharer and theirfour sons Jacob, John, Robert, and Rueben, left Germany on an emigrant ship bound for America. Another son, Peter Eddleman Jr., was born on the ocean en route, on August 15, 1762.
During that period it is known that large numbers of Germans arriving in America went first to Pennsylvania and apparently Peter Eddleman, Sr., and his family went there first; from there they went to what is now North Carolina.
Jacob Eddleman, the oldest son remained in North Carolina, and raised twelve sons, many of whom were millwrights. Of them we have no definite knowledge.
John Eddleman died without issue.
Robert Eddleman settled in what is now South Carolina, and raised several sons, but of this family we have no record.
Rueben Eddleman went to Georgia and raised a number of sons and daughters. Of these we know little except that some of them remained in that State, in and near Atlanta; some of his descendants went to Louisiana and some to Texas.
It is not understood that Peter Eddleman (Jr.) ever had any communication with his brothers after the Revolutionary War. Apparently some or all of these older boys served in that war, but as to this we have no definite information.
These older brothers of Peter Eddleman, (Jr.,) having raised families, it is natural to suppose that one or more of them would name a son for their father Peter Eddleman Sr., which might account for the many persons of that name in different localities. Then there might have been others of the Eddleman name coming over from Germany who might also have carried the same name.
At an early age Peter Eddleman (Jr.,) became acquainted with and followed Daniel Boone into Kentucky, where he took up his residence, and at the age of nineteen married Rachel Elrod, his senior by about six months. They made a settlement in a cane brake, about nine miles from where Lexington now stands, improved a farm thereon, where they lived, died and were buried, never leaving this farm during their lifetime. They celebrated their seventy-fifth wedding anniversary, and she preceded him in death by about six months, both having passed their 95th birthday; She died in January, 1856 and he died in Sept. 1856.
To Peter Eddleman, Jr., and Rachel Elrod Eddleman, his wife, were born two sons and four daughters, as follows:
Margaret Eddleman, born May 22,1785, known as "Peggy" in the family; married Turner House. Died Robert Eddleman born October 22, 1786; died August 13, 1872; married Hannah Jones, who died June 5, 1835; he afterwards married Anne Tinsley. After her death he married her sister.
Sarah Eddleman or "Sallie" as she was called, born Dec. 19, 1791; married Jess, Barker; date of her death not recorded.
Mary Eddleman, called "Polly", born April 9, 1792; when she was quite old, after her father's death, married a man named Forney; date of her death not of record here.
*James Eddleman, born February 22, 1799; died July 7, 1846, in Missouri, near where the town of California now stands; he was born in Kentucky. Married Cynthia Ann Douthitt. She was born Dec. 21, 1801, and died in 1878 or 1879.
Elizabeth Eddleman, or "Betsy" as she was called, was born Oct. 24, 1801. Records are that she never married.
Mary and Elizabeth Eddleman, known as "Polly" and "Betsy", lived with and took care of their parents (Peter and Rachel) until both had passed on, then put in a claim for most of the property, including slaves, cattle, furniture, etc, for their services. This information is contained in a letter from Robert Eddleman to Cynthia Douthitt Eddleman, dated Fayette County, Kentucky, Sept. 12, 1857, original of which is in my possession. From other correspondence, it is learned definitely that the graves of Peter, his wife, Rachel, and these two daughters are on this farm, which in 1922 was owned by descendants of the Barker family.

Record of Pearl Eddleman, 506 Market Street,
Muskogee, Oklahoma.
(I) The family of Peter Edelman apparently came to America in 1754 as documented by published ship lists.
1754 - 26 Oct. 1754--Brigantine Mary and Sarah, Thomas Aldrich, Captain, from Amsterdam, last from Portsmouth--inhabitants from Franconia, Wirtemberg, and the Palatinate. Passenger list includes Adam Schaffer, Peter Edelman, Johannes Edelmann; Joh. Georg Edelman and Hans Edelman (sick).
(II) Peter Edelman was married to Margaretha Schäfer, not Margaret Sharer. If the name was read from hand written documentation the umlaut over the "a" and the "f" might have been confused with an "af" therefore Schäfer becomes Sharer.
(III) Of these names only John (Johannes) Edelman appears on the ship list. Johann Peter Edelman and Anna Margaretha Schäfer were married on 27 April 1752; it would be difficult for them to have four sons by 1754.
Listed below is a list of children of Peter and Margaret Schäfer as taken from the will of Peter Eddleman. Son Richard and Rueben are not mentioned. I believe that Robert and Rueben if they existed were relatives of Peter Sr. possibly sons of a brother or cousin.
Peter Edelman - Margaret Schäfer
Peter Edelman survived father Peter Sr.
Jacob Edelman survived father Peter Sr.
John Edelman died before father Peter Sr.
daughter Margaret Edelman inherited from grand-father Peter Sr.
Barbary Edelman Gross
Julian Edelman Roberts
Christen Edelman Randolph
Peter and Margaret were married in 1752 in Germany, there is documented that in 1757 in Bucks county Pennsylvania Jost Edelman married Christiana Schaeffer.
Feb. 22, 1757: Jost Edelman m. Christina Schaeffer, Bedminster Twp., Bucks Co., Tohickon. German Reformed Church, Tohickon Union Church. PA German Church Records, Vol II.
Was Christiana a sister of Peter's wife Margaret, there were other Eddleman in Bucks co. at this time as documented below.
June 26, 1760: Birth of Maria Barbara Edelman, d. of Vollentin or Valentine Edelman or Idleman and Elisabeth, bapt. Oct.30, 1760. Bedminster Twp., Bucks Co. Tohickon Union Church. "PA German Church Records, Vol. II." (2nd entry: German Reformed Church.) (3rd entry: Salisbury Twp., Lehigh Co. Jerusalem Reformed Church.)
In 1789 Peter Edelman had a will written in it he acknowledges his heirs and children, there is no mention of any sons other than Peter and Jacob and Margaret Edelman the daughter of his deceased son John. If he had other sons Rueben or Robert then they preceded him in death and left no heirs. This points to someone other than Peter as being the father of my line. Perhaps it is Vollentin or another unnamed Edelman that was related to Peter's family. David Jones Eddleman states that his grandfather was Peter Eddleman born August 15,1762 there was another Peter Edelman born in Bucks county in Nov.14, 1764. He was the son of Boston (Sebastian Eddleman and Sara Pratt.
We know that the mid-18th century in Bucks county Pennsylvania there were several Eddleman families. Peter and Margaret Schafer Eddleman, Valentine and Elizabeth Eddleman, Jost and Christiana Schafer Eddleman and Boston (Sebastian) and Sara Pratt Eddleman. Were they related to one another, were they all from the same region of Germany? It seems likely that they all originated in Beerfelden Parish (North of Eberbach in Odenwald, Germany). There are many links that tie them to this area.
Harold Eddleman has collected a large collection of information from many Eddleman researchers that document this information. This link will take you to this information.

(IV) I have no information on any of these sons. Rueben has been suggested as the possible father of the David Edelman line (1765/1770.) This does not seem feasible to me since any son of Peter and Margaretha would not be old enough to be the father of David Edelman unless his birth date was as late as 1775. There is some documentation that he was born in 1770.

Todd "T.J." O'Brien talks with Vanessa Clapp, Appellate Supervisor for the Lake County Public Defender's Office, Thursday, in Lake County Common Pleas Court, where he was re-sentenced for running over and killing his ex-girlfriend, Kayelee Russell-Martin, in 2010. O'Brien's 45 years to life sentence was reduced to 35 years to life.
An Eastlake man serving life in prison for running over and killing his ex-girlfriend in Painesville Township now is eligible for parole 10 years earlier.
Todd "T.J." O'Brien, now 27, was convicted in the June 15, 2010, death of 23-year-old Kayelee Russell-Martin.
The victim died near her home at the Cambridge Condominiums after O'Brien ran her over with his Chevrolet Malibu.
O'Brien -- who claimed the death was an accident -- was found guilty of murder, aggravated vehicular homicide, four counts of felonious assault, failure to stop after an accident and three counts of violating a protection order by a Lake County Common Pleas Court jury.
After O'Brien was sentenced to life in prison with parole eligibility in 45 years, he appealed Judge Eugene A. Lucci's conduct of the trial and sentence.
In January, the 11th District Court of Appeals ordered O'Brien to be re-sentenced, claiming Lucci erred by not merging two felony protection order counts into two felonious assault counts for sentencing purposes.
On Thursday, Lucci re-sentenced O'Brien to remove five years each on two of the counts, decreasing the sentence to life with first parole eligibility after 35 years.
"Seven days after I sentenced the defendant, the Ohio Supreme Court ... changed its previously expressed opinion on the issue of merger," Lucci said.
The 11th District rejected the rest of O'Brien's claims, including his argument he was denied a fair trial because the judge allowed evidence of prior "bad acts" and photos of the victim's body.
O'Brien's claim that he had ineffective defense counsel was also denied.
O'Brien, in court with appellate attorney Vanessa Clapp, declined comment at his re-sentencing before a packed court.
He testified at trial that the reason he backed into the victim is because he could not see because her fiance sprayed pepper spray at his car shortly before. He said he kept on driving afterward because he thought he hit a speed bump.
Prosecutors said O'Brien -- who had a history of stalking the victim -- was upset with her because she was dating a former friend of his and because she was refusing to let him see their son.

If we want to go for this solution, we have to scan the archive for usage of this header file, and fix them by submitting a patch.With the hope it won't come in a middle of a transition.Speaking of which, we probably shouldn't be trying too long with kfreebsd 8.0 unless we have a plan and a timeline. The blockers you mentioned make it look like we're already on people's way. So I guess it makes sense to revert ASAP and to contact -release@ once we're ready to roll.
For rebuild of libsdl1.2, it is sufficient to use this: --- /usr/include/usbhid.h~ 2009-11-28 23:38:42.000000000 +0000 +++ /usr/include/usbhid.h 2009-12-02 18:43:17.000000000 +0000 @@ -30,6 +30,12 @@ */ #include <sys/cdefs.h> +#include <dev/usb/usb_ioctl.h> + +struct usb_ctl_report { + int ucr_report; + u_char ucr_data[1024]; /* filled data size will vary */ +}; typedef struct report_desc *report_desc_t; It means we have to fix only our freebsd-libs for libsdl1.2. I am now rebuilding qemu, usb-hid.o is already compiled. The remaining known failing packages are freeglut and hal. What else ?
So I guess it makes sense to revert ASAP and to contact -release@ once we're ready to roll.
What about inform -release@ about our problem and ask them to ignore our dependecies in testing propagation. According to edos.debian.net,
the kfreebsd* testing have 177/195 binary architecture specific packages already uninstallable. This way it should not hurt other architectures. Petr

Today started with the massive media news about the departures of CNN/U.S. president Jon Klein and NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker and the news keeps coming. PRNewser colleagues at TVNewser have been following the developments closely. Click here for the latest.
Business Insider has also just received a statement from Newsweek, which was expected to layoff additional staff members today.
A small percentage of Newsweek's staff was told today that they will not be offered jobs when Sidney Harman assumes control on October 1, 2010. The majority of Newsweek's employees were asked to remain in their jobs. The Washington Post Company will provide generous severance packages to those who are not being retained.
The names of those cut have been provided. Dan Gross and Jon Meachum are just a couple of the journalists who left the publication on their own in recent weeks.
For media relations pros, it's an ongoing battle to keep track of which reporters are covering what where. (Mediabistro's Revolving Door newsletter can help with that as well.)

Weekly #streameroftheday Update
For those of you unfamiliar with the #streameroftheday process, I recommend one starting pitcher per day who is owned in fewer than 10% of leagues (lower than your typical standards) and post it on Twitter at @dynastyguru. And this Friday post is where I stand in front of the firing squad, fully accountable for these recommendations. I ran a longer introduction in my first post of the season, explaining why my ownership limit is much lower than most others out there, but essentially it's to be helpful in deeper mixed leagues. If you want to read the whole thing, the link is here. With the pleasantries out of the way, let's jump into the action.
Here were the details for the last seven days:
The week actually started off very well after the first three starts. Phelps was great considering the strength of his opponent, and Nolasco kept rolling against the mostly punchless White Sox. I'm not a big Jerome Williams fan, but anyone with a pulse these days who is pitching against the Royals makes for at least an interesting streamer. Quintana really didn't pitch that poorly against the Cubs, he was just completely outclassed by Jeff Samardzija, who continues to be extremely impressive. Slowey against the Rays was never going to be a good matchup, but the other options were pretty terrible. He ended up holding his own alright, and was actually in like for a win (this is what happens when you face Jeremy Hellickson these days, even as a Marlins starter), but the bullpen gave up the lead almost immediately after he left. The biggest disappointment of the week was Phelps' second turn, as he never even made it out of the first inning against the Mets. Strange things happen in interleague play--like the Mets deciding to start hitting, or Dillon Gee striking out 12 the next night. Lilly finished off the week with an OK start, just one out away from being of the quality persuation.
And here are my overall numbers for both the week and the season:
It was back down to Earth a little for me this week, though it would have been a solid week if Phelps hadn't [insert bathroom metaphor here] on Wednesday. Overall, it's time to start moving those ratios in a more positive direction, and hopefully the end of interleague play will help move that along.
See you again next week.

The Law Is a White Dog:
"Interdisciplinary scholar Colin Dayan's most recent book, The Law Is a White Dog: How Legal Rituals Make and Unmake Persons, presents a postmodern blend of anthropology, social critique, and legal history that deconstructs the Enlightenment rationality generally associated with law. Dayan examines some of the ways in which the mechanisms of our legal system perpetuate 'violence and oppression' (p. xvii) alongside progress and modernity. Going beyond traditional histories and examinations of the law, her book explores how larger socio-legal processes, like marginalization, the creation of social outcasts, and the justification of brutal penal practices, shape our present-day society. Dayan, who serves simultaneously as anthropologist, social critic, and poet, depicts the darker side of American society and the often repressive character of our law. . . . Written by an author well known for previous interdisciplinary work in cultural studies and law, this book is a must-have for both general academic libraries and academic law libraries. The writing is crisp, and the way in which Dayan assembles a wide array of topics that are rarely grouped together is thought-provoking and engaging. The book addresses important social questions and reveals the subtle ways that idiosyncratic legal reasoning works to rationalize harsh social processes. Dayan's deconstruction highlights the law as a key mechanism for social control, rather than a narrow area of professional discourse or an administrative or procedural system that touches only a small segment of society. Ultimately, The Law Is a White Dog will prove valuable for anyone who seeks a comprehensive, critical understanding of our society and the role played in it by the law."--Law Library Journal
"[T]his work by Dayan is one of the most valuable contemporary books on law and society to come out in quite some time. . . . The Law is a White Dog is an innovative, highly intellectual book."--Choice
"A cumulative masterpiece of probing, relevant erudition. . . . More concerned with conceptual structures than local specifics, Dayan breaks rich new critical ground on the well-trodden path from plantation to prison. [A] stunningly insightful yet painstaking inquiry into the very real effects of the ongoing legal and cultural project of defining the boundaries of personhood."--American Literature
"Colin Dayan has written a challenging and ambitious book. . . . Its interest for social and political philosophers and philosophers of law will be primarily its engagement with the question of how personhood is defined and materially shaped via the practice of law. . . . The Law is a White Dog offers much, perhaps at exactly the points it frustrates expectation. It would be appropriately read in upper-level undergraduate classes, particularly in philosophy of law, social and political philosophy, and animal studies."--Alexis Shotwell, Philosophy in Review
"Colin Dayan's The Law is a White Dog is the most imaginative and passionate (mainly about prison conditions in the US) that I have come across for a long while."--Conor Gearty, LSE Review of Books
"Law is the major character in this philosophical narrative. Analyzing how the law sometimes alters and disfigures human persons . . . reducing people to bare human materials, biologically alive but legally dead. Dayan summons a remarkable range of philosophical tales, including Voodoo, Greek tragedy, medieval law, Human Rights Watch reports, magic, and medicine. But eclectic as this selection is, these discourses tell a rigorous story about how humans are turned into non-humans, how animals become humans, how things are endowed with intention."--Branka Arsic, Leviathan
"The Law is a White Dog is a vivid exploration of literature, history, and law. It asks hard yet stimulating questions about the systemically entrenched racial, colonial, and ideological inequalities of the Anglo-American legal system. As a text concerned with the role of law in the (un)making of legal identity, this book makes a very valuable contribution to the field of socio-legal studies as it forces one to think about the violence of law and to trouble the assumptions made about the rule of law in modern liberal democratic societies. . . . As a present-day political project, this effort identifies the everyday consequences of remaining silent to systemic injustices."--Socialist Studies/Etudes socialistes
"This provocative and rigorous analysis makes a significant contribution both to legal scholarship and contemporary discussions about criminalization, national security and racism. . . . An innovative engagement with a range of legal areas and eras, Dayan's work helps us trace the role legal reasoning has played in producing a slave society, and a prison society, in which structures of racial violence appear inevitable, justifiable, rational and natural."--Journal of Legal Studies
"Colin Dayan's The Law is a White Dog is a tour de force of interdisciplinary legal scholarship. . . . Employing an approach that emphasizes the power of legal rhetoric, the persistence of modes of categorizing entities on the margins, and the magical thinking that conjures and parries otherness when it comes into contact with law, Dayan gives us a history replete with stunningly fresh insights into the transformational violence law inflicts and legitimizes on those it regulates and controls."--Law and Society Review
"Dayan's work is engrossing, imaginative, and erudite. It will appeal to wide audiences, including historians, anthropologists, and sociologists of slavery, scholars interested in the history of punishment, and academics and activists concerned with both human and animal rights."--Mindie Lazarus-Black, New West Indian Guide
"In language that is searing and lyrical, evocative and precise, this exceptional book thinks with the zombies, specters, felons, slaves, dogs, cadavers, and other entities that are the remnants of loss and dispossession in the law. Dogs and people are abundantly present here, even as the legal fictions they are made to inhabit are exposed with acid lucidity. These are hard histories made readable by Dayan's precious acts of writing."--Donna J. Haraway, author of When Species Meet
"Colin Dayan's engagement with what she calls the sorcery of the law leads her to trouble narrative movements from ignorance to knowledge, animality to humanity, barbarism to enlightenment, slavery to freedom. In the process she urges us to recognize how legal technologies that once sustained a core contradiction of slavery--that slaves were only accorded legal personality when they committed a crime--now relegate millions of incarcerated persons to civil death. The Law is a White Dog compels us to acknowledge how the ghosts of slavery continue to animate institutions--from Guantanamo to the supermax--that thrive on racialized violence today."--Angela Y. Davis, professor emerita, University of California, Santa Cruz
"This is truly an extraordinary book, one which will become a classic of interdisciplinary legal scholarship. Combining memoir, literary criticism, history, cultural studies, and analysis of legal doctrine, this is a fascinating tour de force."--Austin Sarat, Amherst College

BOZEMAN – A four-state team involving Montana State University has been awarded nearly $10 million to investigate the challenges of turning beetle-killed trees into biofuel.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the award today, Nov. 6, saying it would allow an academic, industry and government consortium led by Colorado State University to study the major challenges that limit the use of beetle-killed trees in the Rockies as biofuel. MSU's portion will be almost $663,500.
"Insect infestations have caused widespread forest mortality during the past decade in Montana and throughout the Rockies," said Rick Lawrence, MSU professor and director of the Spatial Sciences Center. "The dead trees in many cases cannot be utilized economically, while at the same time posing a hazard, such as potentially increased fire risk."
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said that infestations of pine and spruce bark beetles have impacted more than 42 million acres of U.S. forests since 1996 and a changing climate threatens to expand the threat from bark beetle.
"As we take steps to fight the bark beetle, this innovative research will help take the biomass that results from bark beetle infestation and create clean, renewable energy that holds potential for job creation and promises a cleaner future for America," Vilsack said. "This is yet another reminder of the critical investments provided by the Farm Bill for agricultural research, and I urge Congress to achieve passage of a new, long term Food, Farm and Jobs Bill as soon as possible."
MSU has two roles in the newly funded project, Lawrence said. He will be responsible for mapping dead trees throughout the northern Rockies to help determine how much beetle-killed wood is available for biofuel. He will also develop tools so scientists can rapidly detect outbreaks that will produce more dead wood. His work will involve ground surveys, remote sensing, geographic information systems and spatial modeling. He will help evaluate the history, current extent and logistics of using beetle-killed trees for biofuel.
MSU Extension Forestry Specialist Peter Kolb will work with rural landowners, resource managers and communities to examine the practicality and ecological sustainability of woody debris acquisition and refinery locations. As forestry specialist and associate professor of forest ecology and management, Kolb said he helps professionals, producers and landowners incorporate the latest well-reviewed science, solve resource-related problems and remain economically competitive and ecologically sustainable.
Thrilled that the grant was awarded, Kolb said, "Developing a realistic economically viable market that provides an alternative liquid fuel from what is currently mostly a waste product is a highly worthwhile project. This would help sustain our loggers, forest landowners and mill infrastructure by helping them increase efficiency and make money out of what is now a cost.
"The forest resources that exist across Montana are staggering when you consider materials that are currently a fire hazard such as enormous volumes of wildfire and beetle-killed trees, non-useable woody debris left over from logging, and excessively dense forests resulting from the abnormally long cool-wet climatic period Montana experienced from 1940-1980 along with wildfire suppression," Kolb added.
Collaborators on the project said that converting beetle-killed wood into renewable fuel has many benefits. It requires no cultivation, for example. It circumvents food-versus-fuel concerns and probably has a highly favorable carbon balance.
However, challenges currently prevent widespread use. The beetle-killed trees are typically far from urban industrial centers and usually in steep mountainous terrain accessible only by narrow logging roads. Other barriers include the potential for environmental impacts, social issues and local policies about using beetle-killed wood and other forest residues.
MSU researchers, together with other scientists involved in the project, created the Bioenergy Alliance Network of the Rockies (BANR) to address those challenges.
"The potential outcomes from the BANR grant could help our wood products infrastructure remain competitive on a world market and help conserve Montana forests by providing an economically viable means of minimizing climate change-induced effects such as massive wildfires, insect pest outbreaks that can result in an overall loss of forested landscapes, quality watersheds, and conversion from forests to shrubfields and grasslands," Kolb said.
Lawrence said, "We will be working with a company named Cool Planet Energy Systems that has developed a system that can convert these trees to biofuels. Because their system can be deployed to the site of the killed trees, this approach has the potential to use these trees economically while helping reduce dependence on fossils fuels."
Partners in addition to MSU, CSU and Cool Planet Energy Systems are the University of Montana, the University of Idaho, the University of Wyoming, U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station and the National Renewable Energy Lab.
The Rocky Mountain project is a Coordinated Agricultural Project (CAP) through the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture. NIFA has awarded six CAP grants since 2010. They have focused on woody biomass, switchgrass and perennial grasses, energy cane and sorghum.

Older Model 29 with full power loads?
I tried to look for this in the search, and just wasn't finding anything. Anyone out there with an older S&W Model 29 that shoots the more powerful or +P 300gr stuff? I normally have some sort of 240gr ammo for practice, and maybe some Hydro-Shoks or Black Hills for a little more potent hunting loads. I have used the more powerful ammo like the 300gr before, and other than noticing that the spent shells seemed to be a little tighter in the cylinder when ejecting, I had no problems.
At some point, I heard that you should not shoot these powerful rounds in a M29 made prior to 1988. I wrote S&W and eventually someone wrote back and said that yes, in fact my handgun was made prior to 1988 and should not fire anything more than 240gr. I have not since, but have wondered if there is a real danger, or is it more just some "lawyerly" precautions?

Why you'll never see a green star (but an alien might!)
If our eyes were just a little different, we might see green when looking up at our sun. Because they aren't, we'll never see a green star no matter where we look. However, alien eyes, when they come to our solar system — or if they're already here! — might be able to see green twinkling, and here's why.

SCHOOLS reform minister Nick Gibb returned to Bognor Regis after his first week back in government to declare: 'Its business as usual'.
Mr Gibb is eagerly making the most of his unique return to the heart of political decision making in the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition.
He said: "I'm back to doing what I did before – looking at teaching, the curriculum, qualifications and behaviour in schools.
"Maths is a big issue for me and reading continues to be a matter of concern."
As reported, the Conservative MP for Bognor Regis was recalled by the prime minister, David Cameron, to the department for education in his latest reshuffle.
The surprise move came 22 months after Mr Cameron axed Mr Gibb from the minister's role he had occupied for just over two years in an earlier reshuffle.
"I don't think there is any precedent for a minister coming back to government in the same post," said Mr Gibb on Friday during one of his regular visits to Bognor.
He added many of the civil servants were the same but the size of the department had shrunk.
Mr Gibb will continue on his ministerial work during the parliamentary summer recess ready for the brief return of MPs in September before the annual party conferences when the politicians will begin to set out their battle lines for the general election next May.
"The economy will be the key issue at the election," he said. "But, when you look at the next layer of issues, things like welfare reform, immigration reform and education will be among them. The Conservatives have a good story to tell.
"I believe very strongly in academic standards in schools. Labour and the Liberal Democrats have their own views."

It's safe to say that everyone in this office has a bit of a sweet tooth. But we can't help it. As a very important part of our job, we are always researching wedding cake ideas and trends (someone has to). So when we discovered Gail from LizzieMay's, we knew we needed to know more (for research purposes of course)…
Hi Gail, you're the creative mind behind LizzieMay's. What inspired you to get into confectionery?
Well, I've been baking for as long as I can remember; decorating has been a much more recent endeavour! When I started my business I knew I wanted to make cake, but otherwise wasn't sure which direction to take. I actually had no interest in sugarcraft at all, and was adamant that I wouldn't have any patience/talent/skill for it! However, I thought I'd be asked at some point to make an iced cake, so I did a beginners day course simply to learn how to cover a cake with sugarpaste and use some cutters… much to my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed it; I tried my hand at another cake when I got home, and it slowly grew from there. At some point I realized I was pretty handy with a piping bag, and now I decorate intricate cookies as well. I follow a lot of incredibly talented cake and cookie makers online, and am always inspired to work hard to achieve similar high standards myself.
What are some of your favourite cake trends for 2014?
I love that more couples are going for quirky, original designs and/or incorporating splashes of bright colour. In contrast, I also love the current trend for rustic buttercream-iced cakes – such a romantic, pretty style.
What has been the most impressive cake you have ever made (do you have pictures!)?
I'm torn between two favourites! I made these to showcase my work at a wedding fair earlier this year – the teal and coral cake is certainly the most impressive in terms of both the bold colour choice and the henna-style heart motif, which was entirely piped by hand with royal icing. The 'kissing couple' cake and matching cookies is much less complex, but I love how striking the simple design is against a plain white background.
Baking cakes and cookies most be a fun job, what is your favourite part of it all?
It is a fun if also a stressful job – often decorating late into the night with the occasional tears and tantrum when a design just isn't coming together! I love the stage where all the basic elements are ready (cookies and cakes are baked, royal and buttercream icings whipped up) and I can focus on decorating. And then of course there's the part when the client sees their finished cookies / cake – the delight on their faces, in their 'thank you' emails, makes all the stress and long hours totally worth it.
Do a lot of your cakes come from couple's ideas and wedding themes? Is there a lot of collaboration between you both?
Absolutely! Sometimes a couple will come to me with their own design that they'd like me to recreate in cake or cookie form; most often they will have a theme and colours in mind and nothing very specific. We'll have a chat about it, I'll make some suggestions, and we'll work together from there until we have the final design. Whether it's a wedding cake or cookie favours/placeholders, it's so important to me that the end product is a perfect fit for their special day.
How soon should someone book a cake before their wedding?
I would advise that couples book their cake a minimum of 2-3 months before the wedding; there is a lot of work involved in the initial design phase and if a fruit cake is required, it will need to be made in advance and given time to mature. Lots of couples are enquiring now for weddings next year, so it's even better to book further in advance – if there is a cake maker whose work you really admire, best to book early to confirm your date in their schedule!

Sign up for our weekly email * Labour has proposed an emergency change of law that would block any attempt by News Corporation to renew its bid for ownership of BSkyB. Labour has expressed worry at the possibility of Rupert Murdoch reviving his desire for full ownership of the company. Shadow culture secretary Ivan Lewis has asserted that ministers should be allowed to block any such attempt. His suggestion is to introduce a public interest test, applied by ministers and regulators to assess conduct and rule people out based on the result. This amendment to Section 58 of the Enterprise Act 2002 would also empower ministers to intervene throughout the process should new information become available. Lewis was quoted in the Guardian expressing his belief that the measures are "necessary to ensure that while we wait for the outcome of the Leveson inquiry, no changes in media ownership can occur which are not in the public interest." He added that while "there is a strong case for removing politicians from media ownership and merger decisions," action must be taken to "address the legal ambiguities" and loopholes that might still allow Murdoch to take part in a bid for BSkyB. When parliament returns on 5 September, Lewis will introduce a negative motion in the hope it will be approved by all parties and therefore be passed without a vote. Read the full article here.

text: Scott Keogh 2012 L.A. Auto Show Speech By admin - November 28, 2012 November 28, 2012 Source: Audi Media "Let me say, there's never been a more exciting time to be representing Audi – in many ways, because of these numbers. I suppose you're wondering what they mean. By now, you've probably guessed that this isn't the debt clock. This is the Audi TDI clean ciesel clock. It doesn't tell the time; it tells a story – a powerful one – about what TDI clean diesel technology has accomplished for our company and our customers. Even more important, what it can accomplish for our country and our environment. In order to explain what the numbers mean, let me begin at the beginning. Three years ago we made a bet – a bold bet – about the future of this country's fuel mix. That's what you saw in our "Oil Parade" ad – our first effort to get American drivers to look at the advantages diesel technology provides in a new way. At the time, most drivers still believed diesel was the worst thing you could fill up with at a truck stop. Diesel was more sooty than sexy. Their views about diesel hadn't evolved. But diesel technology had. And we knew it. It was among the most affordable, sustainable, highest-performing fuels on the market, achieving 30% better fuel economy and lower carbon emissions. And despite what a lot of people thought, diesel's transformation went far beyond just fuel economy and lower C02 emissions. By almost every measure it was as clean – or cleaner – than gasoline. We were achieving lower levels of particulate emissions, significantly lower levels of evaporate emissions, and less nitrous oxide. Some of this was thanks to lower sulfur fuel, and some thanks to advanced filters and catalytic processes that Audi pioneered. But all of it was real. It wasn't happening in theory. Or just in a concept car. Or in some obscure engineering papers speculating on an elusive next breakthrough. This was increased performance in actual cars, on actual streets. So, Audi made an investment. We took the Turbo Diesel Injection engine technology found in our championship racing program, further improved the emissions profile, offered it in our smallest vehicle on the market – the A3 – and our largest, the Q7 – and sent those cars to our showroom floors. Still, the big question was, would Americans see diesel the way we do? Would they buy TDIs? Well, after three years, the returns are in: Absolutely! Back in 2009, we told ourselves we'd be ecstatic if TDI models constituted 20 percent of our Q7 and A3 sales mix. As of September, a third of Q7 models sold are TDI – and more than 55 percent of A3 models are. Which brings me back to the diesel clock. Because of clean diesel's fuel efficiency, the 22,000 owners of Audi TDI models have saved precisely 4,583,773 gallons of gasoline and counting. Which means they've saved more than 26 million dollars of their own money at filling stations. It means they've prevented more than 22,000 tons of carbon dioxide from entering our atmosphere. And, recalling the message of our earlier ad, it means Audi TDI drivers have rolled back more than 240,000 barrels of foreign crude on to the tankers. Again, that's a pretty outsized impact for just 22,000 vehicles and two models. In doing this, these drivers have sacrificed precisely nothing. Not style, or comfort, or performance. In fact, there's an argument to be made that they've gained in performance, because of strong torque characteristics provided by a TDI engine. These are cars without compromise. That's a part of the reason we think this technology has a big future. And that is why, today, Audi is opening up what we think will be a new chapter for clean diesel. Today, I'm proud to announce we are officially adding an A8, an A7, an A6, and a Q5 to our TDI offerings here in the U.S. These new models, as well as our 2013 Q7 TDI, are being introduced with a new engine. To luxury car buyers who've been pleading with us for more TDI offerings, here you have it. It's fitting that we're making this announcement in California, where people love two things: the great outdoors and great driving. Because clean diesel dramatically improves both the quality of the air and performance on the road. And that's why Californians are embracing it. In the last 12 months, more than one-third of all of our A3 TDIs sold in the U.S. were sold here in California. And over the past two years, California car buyers have purchased as many Q7 TDIs as New Yorkers, Floridians, and Pennsylvanians combined. When you look at the numbers on this clock – which we've achieved with just two TDI models – think about what four more models will do. At the very least, this thing is going to have to start ticking faster. Especially since this isn't the same TDI technology we saw even three years ago. In fact, the new, second generation Audi TDI shares very little with its common rail predecessor beyond displacement. The block, heads, cooling system, engine management, turbo and exhaust components are all new. That's why we're able to deliver more power and greater efficiency in an engine that weighs forty-four pounds less. It delivers low sulfur clean diesel at a high pressure through ultra-precise injectors. These injectors can pulse up to three times after ignition to help scrub particulates in the exhaust system. An all-new, double chain drive system and honing of the cylinder walls further reduce friction for smooth running. And that all adds up to better, more efficient performance. In fact, we've just tested the fuel economy of our new A8 TDI… and by our manufacturers estimate, it's put up a stunning number – 28 miles to the gallon, city and highway combined. And that means incredible range for our flagship sedan. And because we believe that innovation shouldn't just take place at the last step in the fuel process – when it is burned – we intend to work closely with innovation centers like the US Department of Energy's Argonne National Labs and biotechnology pioneers to develop the technologies that will lead to a renewable energy future. This expansion of our TDI fleet is rooted in our belief that, among so many choices, clean diesel is often the best choice whether you are talking about better residual values or better fuel economy. You know, it's amazing for me to stand here and think that six short years ago – when I joined Audi – we were the seventh-most cross-shopped brand in the luxury vehicle market. Today, Audi is ranked second. The leading consumer rating magazine just named Audi as the brand with the most reliable European vehicles overall on the market. And October 2012 was the 22nd consecutive record sales month for Audi in America. As a matter of fact, I'm here to tell you that we've already surpassed last year's record-breaking sales number. It's not just that our company is moving more volume than ever… or that our dealerships are more profitable than ever… or that our cars are more recognized than ever… What distinguishes us is that all these things are happening at once. And I think we owe that to an across-the-board commitment to being bold. Bold design. Bold engineering. And yes, bold innovation – especially when it comes to sustainability. One of the things we say at Audi is that we don't want to be making the best cars when the last car is made. We want to make mobility a truly sustainable enterprise. That's why you're hearing about our commitment to diesel, today – because it's an efficiency technology available right here, right now. But it's also why you're seeing a broad spectrum approach to efficiency on our part. Audi engineers led the way in developing smaller, more efficient TFSI gasoline engines that didn't force luxury car buyers to sacrifice anything in performance. This was the case when we introduced our redesigned A8 flagship model, which right off the bat achieved better fuel economy with a traditional gasoline engine – the V8 FSI – than many of our competitors were seeing with their hybrid models. In addition to diesel, we're making investments in other drivetrains, from a plug-in electric hybrid to our new hybrid TCNG A3 concept, a car recently showcased in Europe that achieves a 750-mile range on a mix of natural gas and gasoline. We're not betting on one technology in the hopes of achieving a sustainable future. We're betting on a sustainable future, and developing a whole host of technologies that we believe can get us there. The best part of all? We've just started to tap the potential that diesel technology can offer. The engines in our cars today will be able to work seamlessly with advanced fuels derived from bioengineering – something that's moving from science fiction to science fact as we speak. And when it does, we'll be talking about a renewable, cleaner, alternative source of energy that further improves America's energy independence. That's why we believe the efficiency gains that diesel offers today aren't a ceiling, they're a floor. We believe diesel can be even cleaner, even more powerful, even more efficient in the days ahead. Clean diesel is a fuel that makes good business sense for car companies, good consumer sense for drivers, not to mention common sense for all those focused on our energy future. So here's Audi's position – our challenge – to policymakers at the state and federal level: let's level the playing field – or, in this case, the road – and see just how dramatically clean diesel can lower America's fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Let's open HOV lanes to diesel, rethink how miles per gallon is calculated, ratchet up diesel research, and make the tax on diesel equal to gas. If we do these things, we know diesel will do in the market exactly what it does on the road: outperform. Ultimately, if government is going to be in the business of creating incentives, it should create incentives for the low carbon, high efficiency future we want. We've always said, "The best choice is a choice." For drivers seeking efficiency without sacrificing performance, for a nation seeking to free itself from the grip of foreign oil, and for a world seeking to slash its greenhouse gas emissions, clean diesel is not simply a viable choice… but frequently today's best choice. And with these new models, we think it's the choice a lot more drivers are going to enjoy making." Resources: Discussion Forum: AudiWorld Forums

I am considering getting into the telemedicine arena. Is there anything I should be aware of before I start to market in this area? (Sponsored by Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health)
The allure of telemedicine is appealing, especially to equine practitioners. Instead of long days behind the windshield or slaving over a horse's mouth on the hottest day of the year, you can be sitting in your air conditioned office—looking at a computer screen, answering questions and solving problems. Despite the attraction, let's look at some of the things about which you need to be aware before you pursue telemedicine.
Telemedicine means that you are providing consultative, diagnostic, and treatment services via electronic communication. As with many good ideas, this is an area where the rules and laws have not quite caught up with what is happening in the marketplace. Even if you are careful to double check your advice, use only high quality films and protocols for conveying results, and have excellent communication skills, you still have issues that are unique to this kind of a practice. For example, are you practicing medicine in a state that you are not licensed in? By definition, you are communicating with individuals over the internet, many of whom are not located in the state in which you hold a license to practice veterinary medicine. Have you checked with your department of professional regulation, as well as the states in which you might be dispensing advice?
Another question to ask yourself is if your malpractice carrier covers you for this type of practice? If you don't have it, now would be a good time to check with them. What happens if you are sued for giving bad advice? Have you talked with a lawyer familiar with these types of issues to be sure what legal rights you have and where your potential problems might be?With any new technology there are risks. If you choose to pursue telemedicine, be sure to cover your bases.

Growing up with Thatcher: A Pop Music Perspective
British pop music and British governments go hand in glove, that is up to 1990, when both sides became as vacuous as the other.
In 1964 Labor Prime Minister Harold Wilson bestowed upon the Beatles the MBE (Member of the British Empire) for exports sales, and won an election on the back of it. Wilson was probably our luckiest leader, leaving us not so much a country festooned with "white heat technology", as he promised, but certainly red hot in pop tunes.
Conservative leader Edward Heath ran the country from 1970 -74 under a cloud of Prog Rock, middle of the road smultz and Rod Stewart. Ironic, as Heath was a musician.
Heath gave way to Wilson, back again, and then Jim Callaghan. At this point the seeds of dystopia had been sown as Punk and Ska came flooding in, mocking the country and bemoaning the state of unjust social engineering and unemployment. They targeted both sides of the political fence without naming names, although the magnificent Sex Pistol's song, "God Save the Queen" with the line 'And her Fascist regime' was the closest anyone got.
However, things changed when Margaret Thatcher arrived. While she forced us to look at our miserable apathetic selves, the country's tunesmiths went into hyper-drive. Bands like The Beat (Stand Down Margaret), The Specials (Ghost Town), The Jam (A Town Called Malice), Billy Bragg (Between the Wars) and The Smiths (pick a song), along with so many, many more singers, flooded the airwaves with pulsating sounds, visions, and lyrics and all slagging off Thatcher and her policies. A coalition of top bands formed 'The Red Wedge' and toured the country in 1986 spreading the anti-Thatcher message via gigs and press conferences.
It was a heady time for vitriolic cocktails and Thatcher snarling.
Whatever you may say about her, whatever you may think of her, the current spate of street parties celebrating her demise, the battle of the pop charts, could be somewhat of a tribute to our Thatcher, that after 23 years she still draws such raw emotions from people.
One Thatcher supporter was quoted recently, "she had done something in politics rather than just been someone in politics." On this basis I take it we won't be seeing a repeat showing then for past and present Brit leaders, John Majors, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown or David Cameron when they kick the bucket. Maybe just the 'Sounds of Silence.'
