Acclaimed political drama House of Cards counts a huge, loyal fan base, but star Kevin Spacey gets a special thrill when it comes a particular set of die-hards: real-life Beltway insiders who've given the show a big thumbs-up.
"This is my favorite comment I've heard: 'It's 99 percent accurate,' " Spacey, 54, told PEOPLE before the season 2 premiere Thursday, held at the Directors Guild of America headquarters in Los Angeles.
Of the 1 percent who aren't sold, Spacey said they gripe, among other things, "that you could never get an education bill passed that fast," referring to a key plot line in season 1 of the show, whose sophomore outing debuted Friday.

SPOILER ALERT: This post divulges key plot details from season 1 of Netflix's House of Cards
Don't have Valentine's Day plans? Now you do! Netflix's House of Cards returns for its second season on Feb. 14.
Granted, Francis Underwood's Washington, D.C., isn't brimming with the best relationship material, but you're sure to find someone you'll love ... to hate. Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright and the rest of the House of Cards cast make the misdeeds of The West Wing look like a Bingo game.

On House of Cards, Claire Underwood is the queen of hearts, allowing her husband to sleep with a young reporter so they can leak damaging stories about their political enemies. And in an exclusive teaser from season two, it looks like the Underwoods are back to their old tricks.
But could it tear them apart?
In the clip from Netflix's hit drama, Claire (Robin Wright) and Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) are in full power-couple mode – though the tension between them is growing.

The best news out of Thursday's Emmy Awards nominations is that newlywed Kerry Washington is up for best actress for Scandal.
I was worried that the ABC melodrama – about a beautiful political fixer with conflicted romantic feelings for a handsome, emotionally disturbed president – wouldn't be considered serious enough to merit attention.
Actually, now that I've written that out, I can see why the show might not be considered serious. It's ridiculous. And, in fact, it was shut out of the other top categories. (Although Dan Bucatinsky got a guest-actor nod.)

The most-coveted accessory this weekend? A hat, hands down. But in close second: a wet nap or some rawhide, depending on whether you were partying with Mama June or Kevin Spacey.
5. If the Hat Fits ... Dear Princess Beatrice, we've spent precisely two years and six days thinking about that fascinator you wore to the royal wedding. Good news: We think we're finally ready to move on from all that pretzel-like, bow-ish goodness, and we have Miranda Lambert to thank. The Southern belle-worthy hat she wore to Saturday's Kentucky Derby in a nod to tradition ruined our college baseball caps forever, while Coco Rocha left us wondering what would happen if we showed up to work wearing orchids on our heads.
(Girls, we tip our hats to you)

Kevin Spacey found a very special – and, well, very adorable – way to honor an American city that has seen both tragedy and triumph in the last few weeks.
"New member of the family," he Tweeted Saturday, sharing a photo of his new puppy (seemingly adopted from the North Shore Animal League America). "Her name is Boston in honor of the city."
Since three people were killed and more than 260 injured on April 15 when two bombs exploded near the Boston Marathon finish line, the actor, 53, has visited both victims and the cops who came to their aid.

From what sounds like a page ripped right out of the script of the movie "The Usual Suspects" -- which happened to star Kevin Spacey -- the actor on Monday was trying to clear up conflicting reports about an incident that happened to him over the weekend, when he claimed to have been mugged and robbed of his cell phone in a London park.

From 2004 to 2006, Warshawsky served as assistant secretary for economic policy at the US Department of the Treasury, playing a key role in the development of the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

Warshawsky has a B.A. from Northwestern University and a Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University.
Can Medicaid be counted on to cover long-term care expenses today and into the future? Has Medicaid crowded out the market for private long-term care insurance? And what new financing approaches could effectively protect Americans from the potentially ruinous costs of long-term care? Please join us for a lively discussion featuring experts representing both sides of this debate.
America has recently experienced a wave of municipal bankruptcies significantly fueled by underfunded pension and retiree health obligations to retired city workers, including policemen, firemen and teachers
The perception that Medicaid only serves the poor is not accurate, and it distracts from a looming budgetary threat to the program: long-term care.
AEI adjunct scholar Mark Warshawsky's remarks on reforming America's system of long-term services and supports for the elderly.
Mark Warshawsky, Vice-Chair of the Federal Commission on Long-Term Care, discusses the commission's proposed reforms to America's system of long term services and supports.
The typical current glide path for a TDF starts at a high equity share (over 90 percent) and ends with a low share (averaging about 30 percent). The initial equity share has not changed much over the most recent business cycle, but the ending share has been lowered considerably.
Statement of Mark J Warshawsky, Vice Chairman of the Federal Commission on Long-term Care delivered at the final public meeting of the Federal Long-term Care Commission in the Dirksen Senate Office Building. The statement focuses on financing the system of long-term services and supports (LTSS).

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Frustrated by what they consider poor treatment and lack of interest from Oracle, members of the OpenSolaris Governing Board are essentially delivering an ultimatum to the vendor, asking that it appoint a liaison to the group by no later than Aug. 16, or else the board will be disbanded.
That executive should have "the authority to talk about the future of OpenSolaris and its interaction with the OpenSolaris community," according to minutes of the board's meeting, held Monday. "Otherwise the OGB will take action at the August 23 meeting to trigger the clause in the OGB charter that will return control of the community to Oracle."
OpenSolaris is the open-source distribution of the Unix-based Solaris operating system Oracle acquired through its purchase of Sun Microsystems.
Community members work on code for OpenSolaris, but Oracle retains control over what is ultimately included in its official distribution. Board members have been upset with the lack of communication from Oracle over the timing of future releases, among other matters.
Some users have even suggested it might be wise to create an offshoot or "fork" of the codebase.
But not every OpenSolaris advocate believes disbanding the governing board is the right move.
"Frankly, IMHO, this is just the OGB throwing its hands in the air," wrote Ben Rockwood in a blog post. "The body has been useless for a long time, but only because it has chosen to be. ... It's never lead anything, and it isn't now."
"But the fact that it's a wet rag doesn't mean we should simply throw in the towel," he added. "A weak seat of power is better than no seat at the table."
An Oracle spokeswoman could not immediately provide comment Wednesday.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

text: Well, gee, I guess now I know, don't I???? I think I must be something more along the lines of an expert who has forgotten how hard it was to learn. Thanks. --------------------- Forwarded message: From: fruitbat at macquarie.matra.com.au (Fruitbat) To: CONSORTMUS at aol.com Date: 97-04-21 05:11:43 EDT >I have read here lately about using this tune or that tune from contemporary >sources, and I'd like to ask, if I may, "why?" There are two reasons, corresponding to the two kinds of "filk" (generic term for songs produced from the marriage of new lyrics to old tunes). The first kind of filk is troping, like what the monks did with the Mass to update it: you take an original and update _some_ of the words, so that the original is still visible, as it were. This is mainly done in the SCA for humourous effect; see my web page, <http://macquarie.matra.com.au/~fruitbat>. The second kind is broadballading, which is essentially borrowing a good tune but making no reference to the original. Here in Lochac, one well-known example is Blodeuwedd's _On The Eve Of Hastings_, a stirring song about the 1066 invasion to the tune of _Capital I_ from Sesame Street. Despite the humourous origins, the song is a true poignant war song, and _very_ popular. >It seems to me that it would be more authentic, or at least more >authentically bardic in spirit to compose your own tunes if you need one to >fit your original lyrics, and writing a simple period style tune isn't very >hard - it would certainly sound better than, say, a Beatles tune, wouldn't >it? The difficulty is twofold: first, writing a period-sounding tune is a lot harder than you'd think (whether you're a newbie blissfully unaware of the complexity, or an expert who has forgotten how hard it was to learn). Second, there are times when a Beatles tune is just right for what you want, if you're looking for humourous effect around a campfire. Remember, originality is not the only trait of a bard, or remotely the most important. I've been writing original songs and filk for 5 years within the SCA. Within the last two years I've begun (at last!) to feel able to write songs in something remotely like authentic style. There are other points: the fact that filk is easier to teach, the intricate tricks you can perform with your audience's heads by turning a humourous art form into something deeply serious, the widely differing views of "mundanities" within the SCA, and the fact that some made-up tunes are far more mundane than even the Beatles! But there's a start.

Check out Rite Aid this week, cheap reach toothbrushes. I can't figure out how to link to the thread from my mobile, but it's in the RA forum this week (in matchups, and it has it's own thread). It just hasn't gotten tons of notice bc no Couponer wants *cheap* reach, we want *free* reach lol! But it'll def do in a pinch!
So sorry, just realized you don't have RA
Time for a dentist appointment & free toothbrush????
My mom said that several years ago, trash bags of all sizes were free all the time. She would look at the ads and think, "Free trash bags....AGAIN!!" But eventually the trash bag freebies stopped and she ran out a lot sooner than she thought she would, wishing that she had stockpiled more while she had had the opportunity to do so. So it seems as though some products will eventually totally fall off the freebie list entirely.
Shampoo, conditioners, and stylers is another odd one. For two or three years it seemed as though we could get them for free all the time. Then there was a fairly long lull where there were no shampoo freebies (in my area anyway). Then all of a sudden Pantene was free. Shortly thereafter Dove was free. Then CVS offered a $2/1 any shampoo CRT (generic) which offered a smorgasbord of opportunities to get free shampoo and even overage if you used the coupons to buy VO5 (which I use as liquid hand soap). Having seen the previous lag, I didn't take those freebies for granted and stockpiled all that I could based on the coupons I had and the limits imposed by the retailer.
Another good example is the Gillette Fusion series of razors. They used to be a pretty decent MM almost every month...month after month after month. Gradually the Fusion deals became less and less lucrative until one month they were "only" free (after coupon and reward). I happened to have (19) Fusion coupons that month and second guessed whether or not I should buy them, since I had so many "for profit" Fusion razors in my stockpile. Eventually I decided that since they were non-perishable, it couldn't really "hurt" to buy them (besides having to put out OOP for sales tax) and I used all (19) coupons. That is the last time that I can remember them being completely free after sale, coupon, and reward.
So some things will continue to be free occasionally and some things will completely drop off the list of items that you can get for free. The problem is that no one knows one from the other.

Watch RiteAid. I got 8 Arm & Hammer spinbrushes for $1.37 each a few weeks ago. (Regularly $9.48 each) I try to always keep A & H coupons when available, because RA has a "BOGO deal + $10 UP off 20" on A & H on a regular basis.
My favorite toothpaste is A & H. It's $5.50 a tube, but on that deal I get it for 50 cents or less a tube, depending on how good the coupons are.
|The Following User Says Thank You to Stitchingmom For This Useful Post:
Funny enough when I started couponing (over a year ago), my first 'free' (paid tax) items were toothpaste and they weren't from a drug store, but a grocery store called Farm Fresh. They double coupons and had a deal of 2 for 2.00. I had 1.00 off of 2, so = free toothpaste. Although I love my Riteaid/CVS/Walgreens shopping trips, I find myself getting free items from the grocery stores just as much as the drug stores. Good luck in your purchases and don't forget to check your local grocery stores for deals too

hey thanx a lot,
Nov 10, 2010 at 12:51pm
well, using active added to the example you posted above was working fine for me. active is associated with the max window it is in, and will always send its 0 or 1 regardless of whether you are moving between max windows or applications. or anything else. i am osx, dunno if that makes a difference? unless i missunderstand you – active cannot close the window, but it can rectify the 'cosmetic' issue of updated buttons that i thought you were getting at in your first post…

hmmm…i'm osx, too but it doesn't work…strange….I try it again
nope…it works perfectly for everything (also between application and max windows) but it doesn't work between vst windows and max.

Welcome reliefPain management nurse dedicated to improving others' lives
Heather Martinez, RN, understands that some people live with constant pain.
Her grandmother has endured back pain for decades — from an auto accident in her younger years, then from aging and osteoporosis. It's partly what motivated Heather to work in Pain Management at Via Christi Clinic on Founders' Circle.
"It's an overlooked area of patient care because it is so subjective," she says of the specialty.
"There's no way to measure someone's pain," says Heather, 32, whose patients often suffer neck or spinal pain from injury or age. "Sometimes you can't even see it on their faces."
Serving in a physician clinic setting provides opportunities to build relationships with patients and meet new people every day, she says.
"I wanted to be a nurse for a long time," says Heather, who is a testament that through dedication, patience and some personal sacrifice, you can achieve your dreams.
She earned her associate degree by taking one or two classes each semester until she had enough prerequisites at Wichita State University to begin their Nursing program. She worked full time in customer service and sales until her final two semesters — all while raising her children: Kiara, 11, Isaac, 14, and Cierra, 15 — and maintaining good grades.
"You can have goals and accomplish things and still take care of your family," she says. "But it may not be instant."
Now in her second year with Via Christi, Heather is earning her bachelor's degree in Nursing with plans for certification in Pain Management and eventually becoming a nurse practitioner.
Q&A with HeatherI go the extra mile for my patients by…trying to make eye contact, smile and greet them, and making follow-up calls to be sure everything is going all right.
Not many people know…before becoming a nurse, I worked for nine years in sales and customer service at a large telecommunications company. The first thing I learned was to listen to the customer then repeat their concerns back so they knew they were heard. I practice the same things today.
One thing that makes for a great work day is…a positive attitude, which starts with being thankful for the abilities I have.
My advice for people entering a health care/nursing career is…think of patients as friends or loved ones — people you care about — in order to give them the best care possible. You have to be dedicated to making others' lives better.
I know I make a difference in the lives of patients and families when…someone says 'thank you' for the care I provided.
The most important thing my patients have taught me is…perseverance. Many of them continue to go to work, take care of their families, etc., despite being in a great amount of pain.
If I weren't/couldn't be a nurse, I would be an…archaeologist. It would be fun to learn about past civilizations.
I am inspired by…my family and friends, because when I lacked belief in myself, they always believed in me and encouraged me to follow my dreams.
One word that describes me…dedicated.
I am most proud of…my perseverance throughout life that has allowed me to get where I am today.
My most recent accomplishment…graduating nursing school and starting to work on my bachelor's in Nursing.
We want to connect with you.

If they turn out to be Chechnyan terrorists, I would be totally clueless, never having expected anything of this sort.

What I don't understand is how attacking the U.S. could further their cause. SHouldn't they be trying to kill Russians?
These people all believe that the USA is the great Satan, not Russia.
When I was Minister of Immigration for NZ in the late 1990s I tried to bring in lie detector tests as an interview option when considering the grant of residence status for those being considered under the refugee asylum options. For example, depending on your origin and/or background I would ask asylum seekers questions such as:
1. Were you orgasmically happy watching the events of 911? or perhaps
2. Do you believe in honour killing?
3. Were you ecstatic when Lord Mountbatten was blown to smithereens by the IRA?
If they set the bells off on answering, then the decision on their application is easy - you can go back to your sh** hole. My theory was that on the balance of probabilities their answers convinced me I did not want such people in NZ. Unfortunately the woolly lefty liberal civil servants that dominate every Government Department in NZ were able to roadblock this idea until such time as I was no longer Minster.

A work in progress. Been spending a lot of time on the brand, writing content, wireframing... and now to the fun part! Very excited for the progress and to get this baby finished.
Feedback welcome, though its difficult to see the concept. Just trying to give a little peak.

not too sure from this shot where your heading - the fonts and colors don't seem to work that great together in this shot. Maybe as you work on things and can show a little more things will become clearer.

@Jonathan Atkinson Yeah, I know. A lot of interaction on the page, and lots below that nav bar. Not sure if this type face is the right choice. Thanks for the comment! :-)

Digestive Disorders Health Center
Lactose-Free Milk and Nondairy Beverages
Milk used to be simple. Your mom went to the store, bought a carton, and then plunked down a tall glass right next to your chocolate chip cookies. Nowadays, mom might find the choices downright bewildering: lactose-free milk, nondairy beverages such as soy, rice, and almond milks -- even oat, multigrain, or hemp milk.
These alternatives have hit the store shelves, but why choose them? The reasons are many.
Recommended Related to Digestive Disorders
The BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast) was once a staple of most pediatricians' recommendations for children with an upset stomach. The idea was that it gave the gut a chance to rest and reduced the amount of stool produced. Now experts say the BRAT diet may not be the best option for children. Because BRAT diet foods are low in fiber, protein, and fat, the diet lacks enough nutrition to help a child's gastrointestinal tract recover. The American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends that...
Read the The BRAT Diet article > >
- People buy lactose-free milk because symptoms of lactose intolerance have soured them on regular cow's milk.
- People with true milk allergies, which is quite different than lactose intolerance, can't drink cow's milk at all, so they turn to plant-based milks to get their nutrition.
- Vegans don't eat any dairy products from animals.
- Soy, rice, and almond milk contain no cholesterol because they're plant-based, so they can be a healthy choice for people trying to reduce cholesterol consumption.
But that doesn't mean cow's milk is bad. Cow's milk, including lactose-free cow's milk, offers strong benefits, says Karen Ansel, MS, RD, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. "In addition to having a lot of calcium and vitamin D -- which are really important and we don't get enough of -- cow's milk is a really great source of protein."
Milk Alternatives for Lactose Intolerance
Lactose intolerance occurs when you don't make enough of the enzyme lactase, which breaks down the sugar in milk -- lactose, Ansel says. When the sugar stays undigested, you may have symptoms such as diarrhea, gas, and bloating.
Buying lactose-free cow's milk is just one way to help reduce symptoms. Milk companies treat these milks with lactase so that the milk sugar is completely broken down, she says. Nutritionally, lactose-free cow's milk is comparable to regular cow's milk.
Another option is to buy lactose-free nondairy milk options, such as almond, hemp, multigrain, oat, rice, or soy.

Tap next time or pass, don't try and sub inside the guard. Who cares if you tap.
Treat her the same as everyone else, use some common sense, and don't be an asshole. Focus on technique, treat her decently like everyone else you should roll with, if she is new as well be nice and friendly. Simple as that.
Just because everyone in your gym appears to feel like they need to "win" in free rolling doesn't mean that's the case, and if it is it doesn't mean you have to replicate it. Roll to learn, roll to have fun, and if competing and training for that specifically focus on that.
But yeah, I think you are over analysing what's going on, as well as your posts when you are writing them so you are coming across as a douche more than someone with a serious interest in "I don't know what's going on, please help me and let me know if I've committed some BJJ faux pas.
So to kinda illustrate the point about how you're coming across here on the boards.
For a brief moment I'm thinking, Okay maybe this guy is not an asshat and there may just be hope for him.
Now you're back to the coming off like a doucher routine.

tangler, let's plant an idea in your head now, and one day it will bear fruit. You go to class to learn, not to win. If you want to win meaningfully, go to a tournament.*
I have a training partner who says, "If I'm not tapping, I'm not learning." He is a black belt, and while his point is a bit exaggerated, people tend to progress the fastest when their opponent's skill is slightly above their own. Adaptation comes more quickly when the adjustments necessary to improve are smaller, as opposed to someone crushing their training partner the whole round. The person being crushed never gets to work on anything besides maintaining good breathing in a bad situation.
Learn from your mistakes. Rather than worrying about who beats you, analyze what you did that contributed to them getting the submission.
*I don't recommend competing in a tournament with less than a year's experience. This is due to the excessive sandbagging that is often the case these days.Shut the hell up and train.
Oh, I didn't quite understand what you were asking.
My favorite ezekiel is when I'm in my little opponents guard. I love it how they try to throw up their tiny legs for an armbar while I'm driving in with all my weight. I feel my hand holding the sleeve pulsating, like its going to rip off at any moment. I make my warface and look them in the eye. Then they tap.
My girlfriend won't make love to me when I'm wearing long sleeves.

I think the chick should spend less time bitching and more time defending your spazz choke. Yeah, it's going to suck for her and it's probably not the way she prefers to spend her training time. But it's also a good training opportunity for her. In any self defense situation, spazz tactics from a bigger, stronger opponent are what she's probably going to be up against.
If she's got some experience, she should be accustomed to noob tactics and understand it will pass. She should not be having a fucking aneurysm and whining about it. She should also realize everyone in the class isn't a noob. She can suck it up, roll with you for five minutes, then move on to someone else who will make her feel warm and fuzzy inside.

It has been demonstrated that an image acquired with a digital camera and stored to electronic media in .JPG format, may be converted to a DICOM file with appropriate patient meta data and then stored in a PACS. Since many PACS companies are not able to store color .JPG images so readily, nor are they in agreement on how to classify them, i.e. the two-digit modality code; there hasn't been a strong incentive to accommodate them. PACS pricing structures and security systems are not designed for such low volume, highly personal images, either. Thus, we provide an authoring tool, viewer and mini-PACS that are relatively inexpensive in keeping with the price of the acquisition device (digital camera). The viewer is web based to provide flexibility in viewing the images and has capabilities for impressions or note taking. Images are displayed in a rack format and may be re-arranged to alternative presentation states. Each image may be selected, and a daughter window created to provide image manipulations such as pan, zoom, and rotate as well as region of interest measurements. Two or more such windows may be linked for simultaneous zooming or panning. The back office, or miniPACS, maintains a database of patient, study and image information as well as physician and practice information. Images are only accessible by the requesting physician or within the physician's practice. Time limited access to specific studies may be granted to outside physicians by the patient's physician. Such shared studies may also be de-identified before being shared with others. Authoring is through a web based tool that incorporates information from external patient databases, form entries, and images from the camera. Protocols dictate the level of image interaction. Currently, a batch mode provides automatic file names and descriptions for the images, and a single image mode provides an interface to enter image specific information. The images may be either saved locally in the DICOM format, or can be sent to the server along with the instructions file in XML format for incorporation into the imaging database.
1)Convert digital images to a DICOM format through an authoring process. 2)Understand the components of a color image miniPACS. 3)Address limitations of current PACS implementations with color images. 4)Select, manipulate and interact with color images associated with a patient's visits.

Get Paid Amazon Gift Cards From Taking Surveys
I am here to give you clues so that the Internet won't be such a painstaking task if you decide to go looking for free amazon gift cards. I very often find paid surveys that pay in amazon gift cards, PayPal and cash, from these paid survey sites: Craigslist, Google and public forums. If it was posted on the Web likely I will find it. Once I spot a survey that gives out a amazon gift card or cash for incentive I create a topic about it on my blog for others to find. Once its posted, take you time see if its worth the time and once you have done so, dedicate your total time into the survey and you should be finished shortly there after. I suggest that as soon as I create a post on survey exchange for a amazon gift card topic that you complete it ASAP.

The recent 'Wake Up To Rape' report by Havens rape centres in London found 'that more than half of women believe victims share the blame for what happens'. This provides an alarming example of the self-serving attributional phenomenon – attribution of responsibility (Weiner, 1995). In short, some social psychologists believe that people hold on to the notion of a 'just world' (Lerner, 1977). That is, good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. In this view of the world, sits the 'illusion of control' (Langer, 1975). In other words, people believe they and others are in control of their own lives and destinies. What happens to them therefore, is to a large extent their own doing. Unfortunately, this belief also extends to victims of crimes in which people frequently hold them accountable for their own misfortunes. Miller and Porter (1983) also suggest that victims draw on the notion of the 'just world' to account for their victimization. Havens rape centres report provides some evidence of a 'gendered' self-blame. Of those women questioned, over 50% suggested the victim should 'share the blame'. The reasons women cited for this were, 'wearing provocative clothes' and 'engaging in conversation in a bar or accepting a drink'. Ironically, by victims attributing some responsibility on themselves, they reinstate the 'illusion of control' (Hogg and Vaughan, 2005).

Last night I was watching the Youtube video Free Keene From the Free Keene Stigma and it fostered an interesting question: is it better to practice reform that goes largely unnoticed or better to practice activism that gets negative publicity. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, so answering the question is not as simple as it may appear.
For those of you unfamiliar with Free Keene, it is a offshoot of the Free State Project which encourages activists to move specifically to Keene rather than just New Hampshire. In the video, it appears activists who are a part of the general Free State Project and Free Keene (and possibly others) are having an open discussion on the activism tactics used. The fact that such an open forum takes place and does so civilly is encouraging. Free Keene has become the hub for civil disobedience within the movement.
Many Free Keeners have used tactics that have gotten negative local publicity and have even captured national headlines at times. The Keene City Counsel drinking game, public nudity, feeding the homeless, public marijuana use (YouTube video), and many other acts of civil disobedience are among the most notable. The "drinking game" contested open container laws (no alcohol was involved), feeding the homeless challenged the public ordinance, public drug use challenged the victimless crimes and the public nudity challenged unfair sexism in America. The Free Keene movement relies primarily on civil disobedience as activism, which is where many free staters disagree. In fact, many activists in Keene, New Hampshire, have intentionally been arrested because of acts of civil disobedience.
Some activists feel that acts of civil disobedience fall into a negative public light, which is not easily disputable. There are other ways to go about activism that have less of a negative stigma, such as protests, running for office, petitioning, and so on. They argue that these alternative forms of activism shed a more positive light on the liberty movement.
The concern is that by practicing acts of civil disobedience that offends sheds a negative light on the movement and may alienate the people the movement needs to reach. Free Keene has falling into a negative light with some locals, though the movement has also created some support even from local law enforcement.
While acts of civil disobedience do make headlines, they may indeed create negative publicity, unintended consequences, and could hurt the movement. If we alienate the locals, how are we supposed to build the movement locally? If blatant disobedience is received negatively, how can we expect repeal of unjust laws? While I believe civil disobedience can be a valuable tool, I think these questions are worth asking. Activists need to choose their battles carefully. For example, feeding the homeless, if done charitably and not simply to disobey, absolutely can be seen in a positive light and could be beneficial to the movement. Acts of civil disobedience such as public marijuana use is also a great tactic not simply because it combats an unjust law, but because unjust drug laws are beginning to be recognized by the public. In my opinion, the city counsel drinking game hurt the Free Keene movement. Yes, the members involved were technically in the right; they had open containers that had merely water but looked like an alcoholic beverage bottle. However, I can't help but notice that the video reminds me of people disobeying just to challenge authority and without much foresight. They very likely created enemies within the Keene city counsel. The need to be making allies and engaging the members of the community, especially the leadership, in civil dialog that helps them question convention and consider the liberty movement in a positive light.
When choosing activism tactics and deciding if a group should pursue civil disobedience, I think there are three things that must be considered: image, intent, and consequences.
Consider how the movement will be portrayed publicly by the media. Consider how locals will react to the civil disobedience. Consider how one's actions will effect the view of the public on the movement as a whole. It is undeniably important to keep a positive image for the movement as a whole if we intend to persuade others to join our cause. I believe the public is more open-minded to our message now than they have been in some time; if they think that liberty activists break laws just to cause trouble, I think this hurts more than helps.
I believe it's also important to question one's intent when practicing civil disobedience. Yes, the law may be unjust. If one practices civil disobedience because the law is unjust or because they feel they have an obligation to fight an unjust law through civil disobedience, I absoutely support you. This is one of the best reasons for any type of activism, in my opinion. It appears that some activists have participated in disobedience for the sole purpose of garnering more press. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, one must keep in mind the image of the movement in the public, as I mentioned above. Additionally, we should consider the type of activists this may attract. Civil disobedience just to disobey is perhaps the worst kind. I'm not accusing members of Free Keene of doing this, just to be clear. However, I think that if one disobeys just because they like to challenge authority, they need to reconsider their motives. It's not about disobedience or merely challenging authority; it's about long-term, pro-liberty reform. Please keep the end goal in mind – liberty in our lifetime.
Lastly, keep in mind the consequences. Falling into a negative public stigma (both locally and nationally) should be avoided. This alienates us and hurts the cause. While practicing civil disobedience, jail time is a very real possibility. To those in Free Keene, I admire your willingness to spend time behind bars to make a statement. Don't forget that you can do very little activism while locked up. We need our activists free, not in a cage. Civil disobedience may also attract particular types of activists and reformers. Civil disobedience that garners a negative public light will attract members who enjoy that sort of thing. While this is not inherently a bad thing, it should be kept in mind because it will shape where the movement goes from here. Is this really going to be a peaceful revolution, or a violent one? One can peacefully practice civil disobedience. However, constant lawbreaking will more often than not lead to arrests, not reform. If civil disobedience is the primarily method of activism, it is very possible that sects of the movement could become alienated by the public and promote violent revolution or secession because of alienation. These should be methods o last resort only under completely tyranny. Peaceful revolution and reform should be the goal.
In my opinion, I think balance is best. I admire the fact that some activists are willing to disobey and are willing to spend time behind bars. I also admire those of you who are taken a different approach and are making allies and working within the system. For our movement to succeed, I think that a variety of techniques must be used and that achieving a balance of them should be a common vision. We need people to practice civil disobedience. We also need people to run for office. Achieving a blend of activism that exercises everyone's strengths while creating a positive balance is the best way to go.
Keep up the fight Free Stater's, I hope to make a visit this summer.

Narrator: This is Science Today. With more than 30 percent of American adults currently classified as significantly overweight, the war against obesity is starting to feel like a losing battle. But researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, are trying to change that with a novel mechanism for combating obesity.
Kajimura: So far, all the anti-obesity drugs are either inhibiting appetite or inhibiting lipid absorption in the gut - essentially all the drugs are to repress energy intake but there's no drug that actually increase energy expenditure.
Narrator: Dr. Shingo Kajimura has a solution to that - brown fat. This is different from white fat, which stores excess energy and accumulates when you gain weight. Brown fat, on the other hand, is full of mitochondria, and uses energy to produce heat for your body.
Kajimura: The idea is if we can understand the difference between white fat and brown fat, can we convert the cell fate from white fat to brown fat so the overall idea, very simplified, is to engineer fat cell fate to fight obesity.
Narrator: Kajimura's lab is working to identify pharmaceutical agents to engineer this cellular switch. This would be the first time anyone has attempted to fight obesity by actually increasing energy expenditure. For Science Today, I'm Larissa Branin.

Jason's loft was a great find! His place was clean, comfortable, stylish, creating a very welcoming experience for his guests. Walkable to the downtown core as well as to numerous trailer food parks in the area, I was happy with the location overall, even though upon arrival, the neighbourhood looked a little sketchy. I felt very safe once we settled in. Jason was a truly great host -- great communicator, easy to work with, paid attention to detail. This was one of my best airbnb experiences yet. Thank you!
What a great place to stay. The location was perfect and made it easy to walk to many downtown locations. The apartment was clean and spacious and was a relaxing place spend our down time. Jason was accommodating and easy to correspond with. I would definitely stay again and recommend this loft for others to stay.
This was an amazing space and location for such an awesome price! Such a great alternative to staying at an overpriced hotel. Jason was completely reliable and responsive. Would stay here again!
This apartment is awesome! Tons of space, beautifully furnished, and walking distance to everywhere you want to visit in Austin.
Jason was a gracious host, the water and coffee he provided became a lifeline!
Beds, towels, amenities were all first class. I can highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a great value in ATX.
Thanks again Jason!
All due respect to all the other Austin listings but Jason's place is THE PLACE TO STAY IN AUSTIN!!!!! Best location in the city. Simple get in and out. Gated parking for a vehicle. BEAUTIFUL PLACE. Close to EVERYTHING. and jason is terrifically helpful. Stp deciding and BOOK IT NOW!!
Jason has a great place. It's convenient to downtown, was very clean, and has hated parking. Jason himself was also very helpful, his directions were easy to follow. We would definitely stay there again.
Our stay at Jason's place was great. The apartment was fantastic, located in a great part of town. The place was comfortable with a great view of the city. Checkin was very easy, and while we didn't get to meet Jason, he was always contactable and gave us a lot of suggestions on places to go and things to see. I highly recommend his place.
Jason's place was SPECTACULAR!!!! It is within walking distance of downtown fun. Our son was on military leave for the holidays and we were able to celebrate a family Christmas that reminded him of home. Jason has a full kitchen. We were able to cook our traditional Christmas meal, communicate with family over the internet, and watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation as we do every year. The loft is as great as the pictures. Jason was a GREAT, very responsive host and he made everthing so simple for us. I definitely recommend this loft. The kids loved it, my husband and I loved it, and we had a great time. If I could give it more than five stars, I would.
Thanks, Jason!
Jason was very helpful. His home was beyond beautiful. Definitely go back as soon as possible.
Both this property and its owner, Jason, were amazing! The condo was beautifully furnished, perfectly clean, and stocked with everything we needed from a Keurig coffee maker to hair conditioner! Additionally it had an AMAZING VIEW of downtown!!! Jason was available by call or text for any problems that we could have encountered. Jason also accommodated several personal requests. My fiancé and I had just gotten engaged, and Jason provided a bottle of champagne. He also personally reviewed a list of things to do in Austin that we sent him ahead of time and provided suggestions. He even let us use his personal printer when we needed to print off something unexpectedly. Finally, we accidentally left our coats in the condo. We contacted Jason right away and he happily agreed to mail us our coats! This was an amazing place to stay close to downtown. We would definitely stay there again!
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.

A Fireside Chat With Hamid Drake
HD: Michael and I have been playing together for about twelve years now in various situations, particularly with Peter Brotzmann, but also in duet situations. For the past twelve years now, we have been doing in Chicago, we have been hosting these Winter Solstice concerts every year. The phenomenal thing is that we have done it twelve years consecutively, like non-stop every winter solstice. For the last twelve years, we have been doing this and over the years, it has really grown and it brings out people of diverse backgrounds and people with their children. The phenomenal thing is that now, for the last several years, we have been only doing early morning performances starting at six in the morning. We still get packed houses at six in the morning of people coming to see this music to see drums and percussions. The nice things about working with Michael is over the years, we have had time to develop a way of communicating with each other and really to develop our own duet style not only from the Winter Solstice concerts that we do, but also from working together with various ensembles, but particularly with Peter Brotzmann and the Chicago Tentet.
FJ: You also are part of the DKV Trio.
HD: Yeah, I think Ken (Vandermark) and I started working together in '92. The first project we did together was a project called Standards Project and it was Ken, he was doing this project with various artists. It just worked out that the project that Ken and I were doing was with Kent Kessler. From doing that project, the Standards Project, it felt like we had a nice connection, the three of us, so DKV, that was actually the starting point of DKV. Then we started doing gigs together at a few places around Chicago and we were doing things on a weekly basis and that kind of formed, those were the situations that helped solidify the musical relationship of the three of us. DKV is a situation that I really love and appreciate a lot because the nature of how we play together allows us to go in any direction. We have the freedom to explore many different stylistic textures and landscapes. It is not just one particular mode of expression, but we express a lot of different things within that group setting. People seem to appreciate it.
FJ: And Fred Anderson.
HD: There is really, oh, I don't have a lot of words to express the relationship with Fred other than it is definitely, it manifests in many ways. Sometimes it is the relationship of teacher/apprentice or master/apprentice type situation and other times, we are, I can't say equals because Fred is my elder, so he has been around way longer than I have and he has experienced and seen more life than I have experienced, so I can't say equal, but I will say, we definitely share a common, we have a shared love for this music. It is great to see when we travel to different places to see these young audiences really being so appreciative of Fred and really digging and understanding what he is doing. It is such a delight to see.
FJ: And Peter Brotzmann, whom you have worked with in both his Tentet and his Die Like a Dog Quartet.
HD: Yeah, Die Like a Dog, we have the quartet, which was with William Parker, Peter Brotzmann, and Toshinori Kondo, a trumpet player from Japan and myself. Right now, we are mostly concentrating on the Die Like a Dog Trio, which is William Parker, Peter, and myself. The quartet is a really great group, but actually, it was too expensive sometimes to always bring Kondo from Japan. He became very busy doing other projects also. Kondo and I, we still work together in different projects with Bill Laswell for instance. In Europe, Peter speaks about how Chicago was a new starting place for him. Also, he speaks about how it is wonderful for him to be a part of, and to see, and to experience this whole new generation of people that are becoming very much into his music. Of course, some people coming to him through knowing of his son, Casper Brotzmann, but also others from strictly Peter himself, listening to his music, knowing his music, and having an appreciation for his music. It is really delightful for him to see also, this whole new group of people, young Americans that are into his music. It is great to see that.
FJ: You are the most in demand drummer I know of, how often do you get to sleep in your own bed?
HD: (Laughing) The last couple of years, Fred, I have been gone more than I have been home, actually. I just returned home from touring with David Murray because I have been working with David now for the past couple of years. I leave tomorrow to do a couple of things with David and then I am off to start a six day tour of Europe with William Parker and Peter Brotzmann. Then I come home and I will be home for a little while after that. Lately, I have been gone more than I have been home.
FJ: You are in the studio enough with others, but only have a handful under your own name.
