In our view, a few colorful edible flowers brings a new dimention to mixed goumet salads. Simple to grow, this calendula variety can be planted in the vegetable patch or flower border. In shades of orange this really is a great tasting flower, a feast for the eyes as well as the tastebuds.
This is an annual so flowers early from spring sown seed. Has many uses both in the kitchen (either fresh or dried petals) and as a medicinal plant used as a gentle soothing balm for cuts and bruises. All this and highly ornamental too! Try dried petals in mini muffins or fresh petals to make marigold fresh cheese. The possibilities are endless.

Newest Niagara Falls Tour Company Opens Saturday
Submitted by: The Mob Tours
The newest addition to the Niagara Falls tourism landscape, The Mob ToursTM, will open on Saturday June 14, 2008. The tour focuses on the life of former mafia boss Stefano Magaddino and his 50-year organized crime reign.
(OPENPRESS) June 14, 2008 -- The newest addition to the Niagara Falls tourism landscape, The Mob ToursTM, will open on Saturday June 14, 2008. The tour focuses on the life of former mafia boss Stefano Magaddino and his 50-year organized crime reign.
"We focus on the historical side of organized crime," stated founder Mike Rizzo, "and its ties to Niagara Falls. We don't sugarcoat anything, but it's really a history tour." The 90-minute tour visits the sites of murder, gambling, the homes and headquarters of the Magaddino family.
Rizzo continued: "It was a different time in Niagara Falls when these men ran things. As a former customs agent said in 1958, Stefano ran 'everything in the Falls except the cascades.'"
The tour is 90 minutes long and includes a stop at a museum which includes one-of-a-kind memorabilia from the Magaddino's and the Niagara Falls mafia.
"Over the course of the year," continued Rizzo, "we'll be having special events, such as Dress as a Gangster Day, Stefano Maggadino's death day, and others. We intend on having fun, while providing our guests with some history of Niagara Falls they might not have known."
As a opening weekend special they are offering buy one admission and get one free for any seats not already booked. The tours run Saturdays and Sundays at 11am and 1pm, but riders must arrive by 10:50am and 12:50pm in order to be seated, as the tour starts on time. The bus "appears" on 3rd Street between Rainbow Blvd. and Buffalo Ave. near the Daredevil museum at 20 minutes prior to the start of the tours. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made through their website www.themobtours.com.
For further information please contact Michael Rizzo, 716-578-4939 or info@themobtours.com.
About The Mob ToursTM
Developed by Michael Rizzo, a entrepreneur, historian, researcher, and author, he started and ran Zippy Delivery, the only bicycle delivery service in Buffalo, NY for 7 years and has written two local history books. The Mob ToursTM will be open 11 months of the year in Niagara Falls, NY.

Joint Operation Busts Large Meth Syndicate in Texarkana Area

The Texarkana Arkansas Police Department in a joint operation with the Miller County Sheriff's Office, The U.S. Marshals Service and the F.B.I. identified 26 suspects involved with a major methamphetamine syndidcate. Early this morning the task force arrested 18 people, and some warrants remain outstanding.
In a press release from TAPD:
On behalf of the Miller County Sheriff's Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Marshall Service, and the State and Federal Prosecutors, the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department releases the following.
The Bi-State Narcotics Task Force, (Comprised of detectives who are employed by TAPD and MCSO) working with the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), United States Marshall Service, and working in conjunction with the Arkansas 8th Judicial South Prosecuting Attorney's Office, and the United States Attorney's Office, Western District of Arkansas, have spent the last 8 months investigating a large scale methamphetamine distribution syndicate involving narcotics trafficking and distribution in the areas of Texarkana and Miller County, Arkansas.
As a result of the investigation, 26 people were identified as taking part in the syndicate's activities, and officials within the investigation secured arrest warrants for the these participants. Some of the defendants in this case will be prosecuted for violating state law while others with be charged with violating federal criminal offenses. Still yet, others may be charged with criminal violations at both levels.
The law enforcement operations occurring today were based on the collaborative efforts of all agencies represented in the investigation and culminated in the apprehension of the individuals believed to have taken part in the drug syndicate's activities. Based upon the specific locations of each individual arrest, law enforcement officials representing the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department, Miller County Sheriff's Office the Texarkana Texas Police Department, the Bowie County Sheriff's Office, the Arkansas State Police, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the FBI, and the U.S. Marshall's Service all participated in the arrests. 18 people were arrested today with outstanding warrants for the others remaining.
Criminal charges in this case range from Delivery of a Controlled Substance to weapons charges. Some charges will be enhanced as the sale of controlled substances was located near schools, churches, and city parks.
In a joint statement from TAPD Police Chief Bob Harrison and Miller County Sheriff Ron Stovall, "This case is an example of how law enforcement can work together in making a significate impact in the community. When law enforcement officers from all levels of government dedicate their efforts towards a common goal, a greater disruption in the distribution and use of illicit narcotics can be achieved."
Stephanie Potter Black, the Prosecuting Attorney for the Arkansas 8th Judicial South District, which includes Miller County adds, "The Miller County Prosecuting Attorney's Office is proud to be a part of this investigation and the undercover work of the officers. This is an excellent example of how monies seized in illegal drug activities can be used to fund investigations like this in furtherance of the fight against drugs for the betterment of our community."
"Today's arrest are the result of effective coordination with law enforcement entities who partner together to disrupt and dismantle drug networks that threaten our neighborhoods," said Special Agent in Charge Diane Upchurch with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Little Rock. "Along with the Bi-State Narcotics Task Force, the Texarkana Police Department, the Miller County Sheriff's Office, the Miller County Prosecuting Office, the Arkansas State Police, and the United States Attorney's Office – Western District, we are focused on stopping the movement and sale of drugs."
Criminal charges are only allegations and all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until they are proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
We reached out to TAPD Information Officer Kristi Bennett for names and mugshots and she told us that the names and photos will be available after the first 18 suspects appear in court Wednesday morning.

QUINCY, MA -- Hurricane Florence is expected to make landfall along the southern East Coast of the U.S. in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, bringing with it extensive rain and wind, and prompting extensive evacuations.
The National Hurricane Center has also issued advisories for other tropical storms and hurricanes, and is asking communities to prepare ahead as these storms move closer to land.
If your home has experienced flooding, it's important to keep your power off until a professional electrician has inspected your entire home for safety, including appliances. Water can damage the internal components in electrical appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, and dryers, and cause shock and fire hazards. Have a qualified electrician visit your home and determine what electrical equipment should be replaced and what can be reconditioned.
If you smell gas in your home or neighborhood, notify emergency authorities immediately. Do not turn on lights, light matches, or engage in any activity that could create a spark.
In the event that electricity may not be available to your home yet andyou have not experienced any water in your home, generators are a viable option to power some of your small appliances. However, if used improperly, they also pose a fire hazard, risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, and electrocution.
As communities engage in emergency preparedness efforts now and throughout the fall months, visit www.nfpa.org/disaster to learn more and to download tip sheets about generator safety, escape planning, building an emergency supplies kit, and more.

"Bob Eaton
"CT Green Party Treasurer"
Bob also spoke of his efforts to determine what fundraising methods are acceptable for the CTGP in light of Connecticut's laws relating to political parties.
B. OTHER REPORTS
1. Chapter reports
**New London: planning campaigns for city council and/or board of ed seats; produces weekly Greens TV show (videotapes available).
**Central Connecticut: planning salons at Buttonwood Tree restaurant (Greens involved).
**Northeast: planning to (re-)start TV show; Green appointed to housing commission; chapter may form town committee; city council member Juan Perez changed voter registration from Green Party to Working Families Party.
**Hartford: needs donation of television to continue having movie nights; planning fundraiser with Nader and rock artist Patti Smith at end of January; chapter may be forming in New Britain.
**Northwest: working on Bill Davis campaign (2006) for Congress
**Hamden: planning campaigns for town council and/or board of ed
**Tolland: has worked against a WalMart (construction delayed); new WalMart proposed for Stafford Springs; Manchester/Manchester Community College chapter may form.
2. Executive Committee. Mike listed some of the topics discussed at the December Executive Committee meeting: the December fundraising letter, unreimbursed expenditures of Chris Reilly, an audit of CTGP financial records by Audrey Cole, a possible "thank you candidates/elections discussion" event, internal elections, and the Proposal for the Project for a Green American Connecticut (Nicholson/Ferrucci).
The Executive Committee endorsed a letter to several senators which says that "the November 2, 2004 presidential election was fraught with voting violations, misconduct of some highly placed election officials, tampering ...." It asks that these senators refuse to certify the results of the election in Congress on January 6 and support any House members who challenge the results. The letter and additional information was published on the News listserve on January 4.
3. VOTER. Mike reported on a 1/4/05 VOTER meeting attended by 25 people. They hope to meet with the Secretary of State and the governor. Projects include voting machines (including inclusion of a paper trail) and legislation on ballot access for minor parties. There will be a venders' meeting in connection with a request for proposals for voting machines January 11 at the Transportation Department, and VOTER hopes to be able to present its views there.
4. Report from US Green Party representatives. Tim reported that the national Green Party has laid off their fundraiser, due to financial difficulties.
5. Elections committee. Elizabeth noted that Ralph Ferrucci has agreed to chair this committee. She noted that the committee has a listserve.
6. Internal elections committee. Jean said that the annual meeting is planned for mid-March (last year it was March 13). A mailing is planned to people entitled to vote in the internal elections. Last year a full ballot package (ballot, voting instructions, candidate biographies, and information about the annual meeting) was sent out to all eligible. This year the poor financial status of the CTGP may lead to use of postcards instead.
Jean said that she likes the idea of sending the full ballot package to all who voted in last year's internal elections, despite the cost. No one objected to this idea. The full ballot package could also be sent out to people who have registered as Greens since last March--people that hadn't ever received the full package before.
Are postcards really cheaper than the full package? Aaron said that the postage for a postcard is 19 cents. Elizabeth said that you can send a pdf file to the post office and it will print and mail postcards. Mike said he and the Hartford chapter favor sending the full package to all; people receiving a postcard are much less likely to vote than those receiving a ballot; fundraising should be done to cover the costs. Aaron suggested printing the ballot on postcards that opened up to a full sheet of paper. Aaron said he could do layout work for the mailing.
Bob said that the SCC should approve an appropriation for the mailing.
David has investigated two possible locations for the annual meeting in New Haven. Vic said he will inquire at Wesleyan. Jean said that a separate room for counting ballots is needed. Bill Davis (a Green running for Congress in 2005) was mentioned as one possible speaker for the annual meeting.
C. OLD BUSINESS AND PROPOSALS
1. Bylaws segment "4-1 Chapters" (Appendix 1). Referred to chapters by September SCC meeting (a step in the bylaws revision process).
2. Bylaws segment "4-2 State Central Committee" (Appendix 2). Referred to chapters by September SCC meeting (a step in the bylaws revision process).
Ed and Andy reminded us that the BRPP committee was to do further work on these bylaws proposals, including citing the paragraphs in the current bylaws that these proposals would supplement or replace. This work has not been done, so these proposals were not considered further tonight.
3. Proposal to become an organizational supporter of abolishing the death penalty in Connecticut (Appendix 3). By consensus the SCC passed this proposal. David will notify the Connecticut Network to Abolish the Death Penalty of our support.
D. DISCUSSION
1. Planning/strategizing session for the state party in January. (Agenda item from Tom Sevigny, Andy Derr, Lindsay Mathews, Bob Eaton, Colin Bennett, and Kaye Ward.) Tim will work on arranging a combination "thank you candidates" session (at which our November 2004 candidates can say what worked for them) and planning session. The planning session could include a presentation by Calvin Nicholson and Ralph Ferrucci (Proposal for the Project for a Green American Connecticut). We agreed on Saturday January 22, 11am-2pm at the Hartford office. Tim will publish details to listserves; he asks that chapter members be informed of the event.
E. ANNOUNCEMENTS
**Mike said that a New Britain state representative will be submitting a single payer health insurance bill to the Connecticut legislature this session. There will be a meeting of the Healthcare for All Coalition on January 20--Mike will post the details to listserves.
**Jean said that there will be a bus leaving Willimantic for the presidential inauguration protests in Washington DC. Elizabeth said that there will be three buses from Connecticut.
**There are daily vigils in front of the governor's office (until the execution of Michael Ross) sponsored by the Connecticut Network to Abolish the Death Penalty. There will be a lobby day January 19 at the Capitol on the death penalty issue.

SUBJECT: Become an Organizational Supporter of Abolishing the Death Penalty in Connecticut
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: On January 26, 2005, CT plans to execute serial murderer Michael Ross. This will be the first execution in CT and all of New England since 1960.
Of the six New England states, only Connecticut and New Hampshire have the death penalty. New Hampshire has nobody on death row and has not executed anyone since 1939. Rhode Island has not put anyone to death since 1845; in Maine it's been since 1885; in Massachusetts, 1947; and Vermont, 1954. Michael Ross is one of 8 or 9 men on CT's death row.
The CT Network to Abolish the Death Penalty (CNADP) is seeking organizational partners. The New Haven Green Party and the Fairfield County Green Party have already signed on. This requires no financial support, but the affirmation of a resolution stating several "WHEREAS" clauses (arguments against the death penalty) followed by:
"THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that our organization calls upon the Connecticut General Assembly to abolish the death penalty."
Resolution and signup form: http://www.dontkillinmynamect.org/orgsignup.asp
List of network partners: http://www.dontkillinmynamect.org/cnadp.htm
The USGP Platform, section H-18, calls for legislation to abolish the death penalty. http://www.gp.org/platform/2004/socjustice.html#1001998

« Michael Mason, R.I.P. | Main | Asymmetrical Warfare and Abu Ghraib »
In re Reid v. Thomas
The eminent legal scholar and Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid of Nevada has opined that Justice Clarence Thomas should not be elevated to the position of Chief Justice, because he is "an embarrassment" to the Supreme Court. It's not that the only black Justice is a conservative, mind you; Senator Reid's denigration rests on a neutral criterion: "I think that his opinions are poorly written."
Pressed for an example of a inferior writing, the Senator singled out a routine reversal of a Ninth Circuit decision, Hillside Dairy Inc. v. Lyons (2003). The Left Coast Loony Circuit had upheld California's attempts to compel out-of-state producers to abide by its milk price-fixing scheme. A unanimous Supreme Court vacated and remanded. Justice Thomas wrote a one paragraph concurring opinion in which he dissented from one part of the majority opinion. Those few sentences drew this dispraise from Senator Reid (transcription errors corrected):
In that case you had a dissent written by Scalia and a dissent written by Thomas. [It's] like looking at an eighth-grade dissertation compared to somebody who just graduated from Harvard.
Scalia's is well reasoned. He doesn't want to turn stare decisis precedent on its head. That's what Thomas wants to do. So yes, I think he has written a very poor opinion there and he's written other opinions that are not very good.
Except that, as James Taranto noted yesterday, Justice Scalia didn't write an opinion in Hillside Dairy. Influential lawblogger Eugene Volokh has asked the Senator's office to explain. I imagine that an intern in Reno is right now frantically searching Lexis for a Thomas opinion that can be substituted as the centerpiece of the attack. (He might try the uncharacteristically off-the-point dissent in General Dynamics Land Systems, Inc. v. Cline.)
Hallucinating a Scalia opinion is not Senator Reid's only mistake. Brief though it is, the Hillside Dairy concurrence illustrates one of the reasons why Mr. Thomas is a first rate judge: When his legal analysis clashes with his political opinions, he follows the former.
The substantive question on which he differed from the majority was the impact of the Commerce Clause on the states' regulatory powers. Supreme Court precedent holds that Congress' authority to regulate interstate commerce almost completely excludes state regulation, so that the Commerce Clause rather than the Import-Export Clause is the true guarantor of free movement of goods and services in the national market. The leading cases espousing this position were handed down by what are now viewed as right wing, laissez-faire Courts zealous to restrain state legislatures from interfering with freedom of contract. They have long been popular with conservatives and libertarians. I'd be extremely surprised if Justice Thomas didn't share that agreement with the doctrine's results. Nevertheless, he (and Justice Scalia, equally spurning stare decisis) have argued that the Court's view of Congress' "dormant commerce power" is unsupported by the text of the Constitution and ought to be abandoned. When was the last time that a liberal Justice put judicial principle above political preference?
My own evaluation of Justice Thomas' work is based primarily on his opinions in ERISA and employee benefits cases, the area of law in which I practice. It is a good test of jurisprudential acumen, for no member of the Court has much ERISA expertise. Ability to make sense when venturing into unfamiliar legal terrain is a vital skill for Justices, who are the final arbiters of all statutory and common law but cannot possibly possess antecedent mastery of the whole.
By this criterion, Justice Thomas is one of the Court's best jurists. His ERISA opinions are, with rare exceptions, clear, pithy and accurately reasoned. I particularly recommend for perusal his majority opinions in Hughes Aircraft Co. v. Jacobson (1999), which swept away years of confusion about the meaning of ERISA's exclusive purpose rule, Egelhoff v. Egelhoff (2001), which strengthened and clarified ERISA's prohibition against state interference with employee benefit plan administration, and Aetna Health Inc. v. Davila (2004), which reduced the murkiness of the Court's conflicting rulings on the scope of ERISA preemption, his dissents in John Hancock Mutual Life Ins. Co. v. Harris Trust & Savings Bank (1993) and Varity Corporation v. Howe (1996), and his concurrence in Raymond B. Yates, M.D., P.C. Profit Sharing Plan v. Hendon (2004), where he catches a fellow Justice in egregious circular reasoning and displays his talent for close reading of the statutory text. I don't think that any fair observer, including one who disagreed with Justice Thomas' conclusions, can deny that he argues well and writes forcefully. The contrast with many of his colleagues' blurry, meandering forays into employee benefits law is striking.
Whether Senator Reid has ever read a Thomas opinion is doubtful. The natural stance for a hostile commentator who was acquainted with the Justice's oeuvre would run along the lines of "well-written nonsense" (the sort of thing that people like me say about people like Michael Kinsley). The Democratic leader simply assumes his target's semi-literacy.
It isn't hard to figure out why he does that. Years of "affirmative action" have ingrained in many minds the presumption that any black man who holds a position that requires high intellectual ability isn't genuinely qualified; he must be the beneficiary of racial preference. Unfortunately, the presumption is occasionally correct. This is not one of those occasions. While Clarence Thomas' résumé may have been thinner than most Court nominees', his record demonstrates that the first President Bush chose him for his ability rather than his skin color. He deserves better than what Jim Geraghty sharply characterizes as "the hard bigotry of impossible expectations".
Update (1/20/05): Apparently never having heard the maxim about holes and stopping digging, Senator Reid has compounded his offense with a new round of highly dubious statements about Justice Thomas. Eugene Volokh has details.

Jaguar I-Pace sets productions EV record lap time at Laguna Seca
byPress Release
Jaguar has set a production EV record lap time of 1:48.18 at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in the new all-electric I-PACE performance SUV ahead of its display at the 2018 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion and the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
Piloted by professional race car driver Randy Pobst, the Photon Red 2019 Jaguar I-PACE HSE First Edition tackled the 11-turn with no modifications whatsoever.
Pobst set what Motor Trend believes is the benchmark for the fastest lap at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for a four-door stock production electric vehicle.
Footage of Pobst's lap is available online here. More video will be available from 7 September on theMotor Trend App andMotor Trend YouTube channel.
Priced from $119,000 (+ ORCs) and featuring all-wheel drive as standard, the I-PACE is available in three trim levels: S, SE and HSE – with an additional First Edition model available for the first year only.
The new all-electric Jaguar I-PACE makes electric vehicle (EV) ownership more exciting, accessible and practical than ever thanks to its unique design and battery technology.
A 90kWh Lithium-ion battery comprising 432 pouch cells – chosen for their high energy density and superior thermal management – is able to achieve a 0-80 percent battery charge in 40 minutes using 100kW DC fast charging.
Conceived as a high-performance SUV from the outset, the I-PACE delivers engaging driving dynamics, everyday usability and comfort, with a unique balance of ride, refinement and control.
Jaguar has placed the battery as low as possible between the axles, providing close to optimal 50:50 weight distribution and a low centre of gravity optimising composure and reducing body roll.
Advanced double wishbone front and Integral Link rear suspension deliver both incredible ride comfort and the lateral stiffness needed during dynamic driving, ensuring excellent handling, grip and steering responses.
The compact and lightweight suspension design features aluminium suspension links and knuckles to reduce weight, while maximising interior space.
The I-PACE also enables the driver to select either high or low levels of regenerative braking to assist in improving efficiency and vehicle range.
When high regenerative braking mode is selected the driver can experience single-pedal driving in certain conditions as the car decelerates when lifting off the accelerator; helping to reduce reliance on the brake pedal when slowing down.
In fact, a maximum regenerative braking force of up to 0.4G is achievable in this mode.
Customers can configure their I-PACE at www.jaguar.com.au
After becoming the first premium manufacturer to enter the ABB FIA Formula E Championship in 2016 with its I-TYPE 1 open wheel racecar, Jaguar announced the creation of the world's first production battery electric vehicle race series – the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY Championship.
The championship supports the launch of the I-PACE and reinforces Jaguar Land Rover's commitment to electrification: from 2020 all new model lines will be electrified, with either battery electric, plug-in hybrid or mild hybrid options.
Just a few months after news of the championship broke at the 2017 Paris Motor Show, Jaguar announced Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLL) as the first team to sign on to the series, campaigning two cars.
Bringing decades of experience to the series, Bobby Rahal and the RLL team moved quickly to confirm their first season driver line-up.
Veteran sports car and open-wheel racing driver Katherine Legge was confirmed as the team's first Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY pilot during the final rounds of the 2017/18 Formula E Championship held in New York City in July.
A native of the UK, Legge currently competes in the IMSA GTD class; her resume includes experience in Formula 3, Formula Renault, a Formula One test, Champ Car, Indy car, A1GP, DTM, and the first season of the Formula E championship.
Additional information on Legge's announcement with RLL can be found here.
Earlier this week it was announced that Legge would be joined by Bryan Sellers in RLL's second car.
American sports car racer Bryan Sellers also currently competes in IMSA, behind the wheel of a Lamborghini Huracán GT3.
Sellers' resume includes drives in the American Le Mans Series, Rolex Sports Car, Skip Barber Formula Dodge and winning the USF2000 National Championship in 2002.
Additional information on Sellers' announcement with RLL can be found here.
Guests to both the 2018 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion and the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance will be among the first to see the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY racecar in person.
Finished in RLL race livery, the racecar will be displayed Friday and Saturday at the Jaguar pit garages at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, and Sunday on the Concept Lawn of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
Up to 20 identical racecars will take to the grid from the 2018/19 ABB FIA Formula E season onwards.
The Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY races will take place before the main Formula E race on the same street circuits, in some of the most iconic cities in the world.
The series offers teams the chance to showcase driving talent and electric performance on the world stage in zero-emissions motorsport.
Designed, engineered and built by Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations, the all-electric Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY racecar is powered by the same battery as the I-PACE production car and modifies the body-in-white with a purpose-built racing interior stripped of unnecessary weight, finished with the latest FIA-approved safety components.
The 90kWh battery pack found in both the production- and race-spec vehicles power dual permanent magnet motors mounted front and rear which deliver a combined 400PS and 696Nm of torque, propelling the car from 0-100km/h in 4.8s.


In a market where the sequestration looms, gas prices are on the rise and the Federal Reserve signals a potential slowing of asset purchases, investors are increasingly worried about their portfolios. CNBC's Jim Cramer said on"Squawk on the Street" that some of these worries are overblown.
"You feel that the switch has flipped and the things that were going well now are suddenly going badly. I want to caution that the [Fed] minutes were a month old. Remember that the Fed sees what we see," Cramer said.
"If you're the Fed, this is one of those months where you don't take your foot off the pedal," he said. "The news flow changed."
With automatic budget cuts likely to start a week from Friday because of political gridlock in Washington, talk about the effects of the federal budget "sequestrations" is growing.
"Every time you pick up a newspaper, it's going to take your breath away," Cramer said. "The scare tactics are going to be in and you have to steal yourself if you're going to stay long here."
"I am less worried about the spending cuts than I was about the fiscal cliff. If we did get a total breakdown, then you had much more to worry about. Here, there's a undercurrent in this country that the government spends too much," he said. "This isn't the way to cut government spending, but people want government spending cut."
"The fiscal cliff didn't develop exactly how we thought. I keep thinking about all the capital gains, all the dividends that were accelerated because dividend tax rates were supposed to go up," he said, pointing out that these fears were largely overblown. "I just don't want to go overboard with what could happen."
"The scare stories about the military makes you feel like we're putting our defense fields down, it's probably not going to be like that," he said.

59 8.2 The Second Condition for Equilibrium
State the second condition that is necessary to achieve equilibrium.
Explain torque and the factors on which it depends.
Describe the role of torque in rotational mechanics
The second condition necessary to achieve equilibrium involves avoiding accelerated rotation (maintaining a constant angular velocity. A rotating body or system can be in equilibrium if its rate of rotation is constant and remains unchanged by the forces acting on it. To understand what factors affect rotation, let us think about what happens when you open an ordinary door by rotating it on its hinges.
Several familiar factors determine how effective you are in opening the door. See Figure 1. First of all, the larger the force, the more effective it is in opening the door—obviously, the harder you push, the more rapidly the door opens. Also, the point at which you push is crucial. If you apply your force too close to the hinges, the door will open slowly, if at all. Most people have been embarrassed by making this mistake and bumping up against a door when it did not open as quickly as expected. Finally, the direction in which you push is also important. The most effective direction is perpendicular to the door—we push in this direction almost instinctively.
Figure 1. Torque is the turning or twisting effectiveness of a force, illustrated here for door rotation on its hinges (as viewed from overhead). Torque has both magnitude and direction. (a) Counterclockwise torque is produced by this force, which means that the door will rotate in a counterclockwise due to F. Note that r⊥ is the perpendicular distance of the pivot from the line of action of the force. (b) A smaller counterclockwise torque is produced by a smaller force F′ acting at the same distance from the hinges (the pivot point). (c) The same force as in (a) produces a smaller counterclockwise torque when applied at a smaller distance from the hinges. (d) The same force as in (a), but acting in the opposite direction, produces a clockwise torque. (e) A smaller counterclockwise torque is produced by the same magnitude force acting at the same point but in a different direction. Here, θ is less than 90º. (f) Torque is zero here since the force just pulls on the hinges, producing no rotation. In this case, θ = 0º.
The magnitude, direction, and point of application of the force are incorporated into the definition of the physical quantity called torque. Torque is the rotational equivalent of a force. It is a measure of the effectiveness of a force in changing or accelerating a rotation (changing the angular velocity over a period of time). In equation form, the magnitude of torque is defined to be
[latex]\boldsymbol{\tau=rF\:\sin\:\theta}[/latex]
where τ (the Greek letter tau) is the symbol for torque, r is the distance from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied, F is the magnitude of the force, and θ is the angle between the force and the vector directed from the point of application to the pivot point, as seen in Figure 1 and Figure 2. An alternative expression for torque is given in terms of the perpendicular lever arm r⊥ as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, which is defined as
[latex]\boldsymbol{r_{\perp}=r\:\sin\:\theta}[/latex]
so that
[latex]\boldsymbol{\tau=r_{\perp}F.}[/latex]
Figure 2. A force applied to an object can produce a torque, which depends on the location of the pivot point. (a) The three factors r, F, and θ for pivot point A on a body are shown here—r is the distance from the chosen pivot point to the point where the force F is applied, and θ is the angle between F and the vector directed from the point of application to the pivot point. If the object can rotate around point A, it will rotate counterclockwise. This means that torque is counterclockwise relative to pivot A. (b) In this case, point B is the pivot point. The torque from the applied force will cause a clockwise rotation around point B, and so it is a clockwise torque relative to B.
The perpendicular lever arm r⊥ is the shortest distance from the pivot point to the line along which $\vec{\textbf{F}}$ acts; it is shown as a dashed line in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Note that the line segment that defines the distance r⊥ is perpendicular to $\vec{\textbf{F}}$, as its name implies. It is sometimes easier to find or visualize r⊥ than to find both r and θ. In such cases, it may be more convenient to use τ = r⊥F rather than τ = rF sin θ for torque, but both are equally valid.
The SI unit of torque is newtons times meters, usually written as N⋅m. For example, if you push perpendicular to the door with a force of 40 N at a distance of 0.800 m from the hinges, you exert a torque of 32 N⋅m (0.800 m × 40 N × sin 90°) relative to the hinges. If you reduce the force to 20 N, the torque is reduced to 16 N⋅m, and so on.
The torque is always calculated with reference to some chosen pivot point. For the same applied force, a different choice for the location of the pivot will give you a different value for the torque, since both r and θ depend on the location of the pivot. Any point in any object can be chosen to calculate the torque about that point. The object may not actually pivot about the chosen "pivot point."
Note that for rotation in a plane, torque has two possible directions. Torque is either clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the chosen pivot point, as illustrated for points B and A, respectively, in Figure 2. If the object can rotate about point A, it will rotate counterclockwise, which means that the torque for the force is shown as counterclockwise relative to A. But if the object can rotate about point B, it will rotate clockwise, which means the torque for the force shown is clockwise relative to B. Also, the magnitude of the torque is greater when the lever arm is longer.
Now, the second condition necessary to achieve equilibrium is that the net external torque on a system must be zero. An external torque is one that is created by an external force. You can choose the point around which the torque is calculated. The point can be the physical pivot point of a system or any other point in space—but it must be the same point for all torques. If the second condition (net external torque on a system is zero) is satisfied for one choice of pivot point, it will also hold true for any other choice of pivot point in or out of the system of interest. (This is true only in an inertial frame of reference.) The second condition necessary to achieve equilibrium is stated in equation form as
[latex]\boldsymbol{\textbf{net }\tau=0}[/latex]
where net means total. Torques, which are in opposite directions are assigned opposite signs. A common convention is to call counterclockwise (ccw) torques positive and clockwise (cw) torques negative.
When two children balance a seesaw as shown in Figure 3, they satisfy the two conditions for equilibrium. Most people have perfect intuition about seesaws, knowing that the lighter child must sit farther from the pivot and that a heavier child can keep a lighter one off the ground indefinitely.
Figure 3. Two children balancing a seesaw satisfy both conditions for equilibrium. The lighter child sits farther from the pivot to create a torque equal in magnitude to that of the heavier child.
You can explore the PhET simulation called Balancing Act.

Example 1: She Saw Torques On A Seesaw
The two children shown in Figure 3 are balanced on a seesaw of negligible mass. (This assumption is made to keep the example simple—more involved examples will follow.) The first child has a mass of 26.0 kg and sits 1.60 m from the pivot.(a) If the second child has a mass of 32.0 kg, how far is she from the pivot? (b) What is Fp, the supporting force exerted by the pivot?
Both conditions for equilibrium must be satisfied. In part (a), we are asked for a distance; thus, the second condition (regarding torques) must be used, since the first (regarding only forces) has no distances in it. To apply the second condition for equilibrium, we first identify the system of interest to be the seesaw plus the two children. We take the supporting pivot to be the point about which the torques are calculated. We then identify all external forces acting on the system.
Solution (a)
The three external forces acting on the system are the weights of the two children and the supporting force of the pivot. Let us examine the torque produced by each. Torque is defined to be
[latex]\boldsymbol{\tau=rF\:\sin\:\theta}.[/latex]
Here θ = 90°, so that sin θ = 1 for all three forces. That means r⊥ = r for all three. The torques exerted by the three forces are first,
[latex]\boldsymbol{\tau_1=r_1\:w_1}[/latex]
second,
[latex]\boldsymbol{\tau_2=-r_2\:w_2}[/latex]
and third,
[latex]\begin{array}{lcl} \boldsymbol{\tau_{\textbf{p}}} & \boldsymbol{=} & \boldsymbol{r_{\textbf{p}}F_{\textbf{p}}} \\ {} & \boldsymbol{=} & \boldsymbol{0\:\cdotp\:F_{\textbf{p}}} \\ {} & \boldsymbol{=} & \boldsymbol{0.} \end{array}[/latex]
Note that a minus sign has been inserted into the second equation because this torque is clockwise and is therefore negative by convention. Since Fp acts directly on the pivot point, the distance rp is zero. A force acting on the pivot cannot cause a rotation, just as pushing directly on the hinges of a door will not cause it to rotate. Now, the second condition for equilibrium is that the sum of the torques on both children is zero. Therefore
[latex]\boldsymbol{\tau_2=-\tau_1},[/latex]
[latex]\boldsymbol{r_2\:w_2=r_1\:w_1}.[/latex]
Weight is mass times the acceleration due to gravity. Entering mg for w, we get
[latex]\boldsymbol{r_2m_2g=r_1m_1g}.[/latex]
Solve this for the unknown r2:
[latex]\boldsymbol{r_2=\:r_1}\boldsymbol{\frac{m_1}{m_2}}.[/latex]
The quantities on the right side of the equation are known; thus, r2 is
[latex]\boldsymbol{r_2=\:(1.60\textbf{ m})}\boldsymbol{\frac{26.0\textbf{ kg}}{32.0\textbf{ kg}}}\boldsymbol{\:=1.30\textbf{ m}}.[/latex]
As expected, the heavier child must sit closer to the pivot (1.30 m versus 1.60 m) to balance the seesaw.
Solution (b)
This part asks for a force Fp. The easiest way to find it is to use the first condition for equilibrium, which is
[latex]\boldsymbol{\textbf{net }\vec{\textbf{F}}=0}.[/latex]
The forces are all vertical, so that we are dealing with a one-dimensional problem along the vertical axis; hence, the condition can be written as
[latex]\boldsymbol{\textbf{net }F_y=0}[/latex]
where we again call the vertical axis the y-axis. Choosing upward to be the positive direction, and using plus and minus signs to indicate the directions of the forces, we see that
[latex]\boldsymbol{F_{\textbf{p}}-w_1-w_2=0}.[/latex]
This equation yields what might have been guessed at the beginning:
[latex]\boldsymbol{F_{\textbf{p}}=w_1+w_2}.[/latex]
So, the pivot supplies a supporting force equal to the total weight of the system:
[latex]\boldsymbol{F_{\textbf{p}}=m_1g+m_2g}.[/latex]
Entering known values gives
[latex]\begin{array}{lcl} \boldsymbol{F_{\textbf{p}}} & \boldsymbol{=} & \boldsymbol{(26.0\textbf{ kg})(9.80\textbf{ m/s}^2)+(32.0\textbf{ kg})(9.80\textbf{ m/s}^2)} \\ {} & \boldsymbol{=} & \boldsymbol{568\textbf{ N.}} \end{array}[/latex]
The two results make intuitive sense. The heavier child sits closer to the pivot. The pivot supports the weight of the two children. Part (b) can also be solved using the second condition for equilibrium, since both distances are known, but only if the pivot point is chosen to be somewhere other than the location of the seesaw's actual pivot!
Several aspects of the preceding example have broad implications. First, the choice of the pivot as the point around which torques are calculated simplified the problem. Since Fp is exerted on the pivot point, its lever arm is zero. Hence, the torque exerted by the supporting force Fp is zero relative to that pivot point. The second condition for equilibrium holds for any choice of pivot point, and so we choose the pivot point to simplify the solution of the problem.
Second, the acceleration due to gravity canceled in this problem, and we were left with a ratio of masses. This will not always be the case. Always enter the correct forces—do not jump ahead to enter some ratio of masses.
Third, the weight of each child is distributed over an area of the seesaw, yet we treated the weights as if each force were exerted at a single point. This is not an approximation—the distances r1 and r2 are the distances to points directly below the center of gravity of each child. As we shall see in the next section, the mass and weight of a system can act as if they are located at a single point.
Finally, note that the concept of torque has an importance beyond static equilibrium. Torque plays the same role in rotational motion that force plays in linear motion. We will examine this in the next chapter.
The second condition assures those torques are also balanced. Torque is the rotational equivalent of a force in producing a rotation and is defined to be
where τ is torque, r is the distance from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied, F is the magnitude of the force, and θ is the angle between F and the vector directed from the point where the force acts to the pivot point. The perpendicular lever arm r⊥ is defined to be
[latex]\boldsymbol{\tau=r_{\perp}F}.[/latex]
The perpendicular lever arm r⊥ is the shortest distance from the pivot point to the line along which F acts. The SI unit for torque is newton-meter (N⋅m). The second condition necessary to achieve equilibrium is that the net external torque on a system must be zero:
By convention, counterclockwise torques are positive, and clockwise torques are negative.
Conceptual Questions
1: What three factors affect the torque created by a force relative to a specific pivot point?
Problems & Exercises
1: (a) When opening a door, you push on it perpendicularly with a force of 55.0 N at a distance of 0.850m from the hinges. What torque are you exerting relative to the hinges? (b) Does it matter if you push at the same height as the hinges?
2: When tightening a bolt, you push perpendicularly on a wrench with a force of 165 N at a distance of 0.140 m from the center of the bolt. (a) How much torque are you exerting in newton × meters (relative to the center of the bolt)? (b) Convert this torque to footpounds.
3: Two children push on opposite sides of a door during play. Both push horizontally and perpendicular to the door. One child pushes with a force of 17.5 N at a distance of 0.600 m from the hinges, and the second child pushes at a distance of 0.450 m. What force must the second child exert to keep the door from moving? Assume friction is negligible.
4: Use the second condition for equilibrium (net τ = 0) to calculate Fp in Example 1, employing any data given or solved for in part (a) of the example.
5: Repeat the seesaw problem in Example 1 with the center of mass of the seesaw 0.160 m to the left of the pivot (on the side of the lighter child) and assuming a mass of 12.0 kg for the seesaw. The other data given in the example remain unchanged. Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for static equilibrium.

The torque depends on only the magnitude of the force applied and the perpendicular distance of the force's application from the hinges. (Children don't have a tougher time opening a door because they push lower than adults, they have a tougher time because they don't push far enough from the hinges.)

5: Given:
[latex]\begin{array}{lcl} \boldsymbol{m_1} & \boldsymbol{=} & \boldsymbol{26.0\textbf{ kg},\:m_2=32.0\textbf{ kg},\:m_s=12.0\textbf{ kg},} \\ \boldsymbol{r_1} & \boldsymbol{=} & \boldsymbol{1.60\textbf{ m},\:r_s=0.160\textbf{ m},\textbf{ find (a)}r_2,\textbf{ (b)}F_{\textbf{p}}} \end{array}[/latex]
a) Since children are balancing:
[latex]\boldsymbol{\textbf{net }\tau_{\textbf{cw}}=-\textbf{net }\tau_{\textbf{ccw}}}[/latex]
[latex]\boldsymbol{\Rightarrow{w_1r_1}+m_{\textbf{s}}gr_{\textbf{s}}=w_2r_2}[/latex]
So, solving for[latex]\boldsymbol{r_2}[/latex]gives:

b) Since the children are not moving:
[latex]\boldsymbol{\textbf{net F}=0=F_{\textbf{p}}-w_1-w_2-w_s}[/latex]
[latex]\boldsymbol{\Rightarrow{F}_{\textbf{p}}=w_1+w_2+w_{\textbf{s}}}[/latex]

Collaborative and Distributed Processes in Contemporary Music-Making
Editor Bio
This volume represents the second proceedings of the Royal Musical Association's (RMA) Music and/as Process Study Group. It is not surprising that a large number of the contributors to the Music and/as Process Study Group are active practitioners in the performance and composition of contemporary music. The collaborations documented here represent the bringing together of disciplines, joint work between practitioners who contribute their own specific areas of expertise to a composite creative activity, and work that crosses disciplines in order to make a critical comment in each of them. In this collection, these three types of collaborative work describe an increasing amount of contemporary music practice.
In addition to the increasing involvement of practice in research, the understanding and prevalence of practice methodologies in the form of practice research has also increased in musicology. This volume reflects these concerns through contributions from authors who are all active practitioners in their respective fields of music performance, composition, improvisation, and conducting. The diversity of these contributions shows the variety of processes and practices that are currently being undertaken by proponents of the field of contemporary music.
These essays provide a snapshot of the current collaborative and distributed processes that are employed by today's contemporary music practitioners. The chapters contained in this volume reveal the varied nature of the approaches to creativity in music making, and the ways that these are distributed across its practitioners during each stage of the development of musical works.
Lauren Redhead is Senior Lecturer in 20th and 21st Century Music at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her primary research interests are the aesthetics and socio-semiotics of music. She is a composer of experimental music and a performer of music for organ and electronics.

This is the Gishwhes 2015 Item List. We've also written a pretty fantastic article answering the question "What is Gishwhes?", just in case any of your relatives/friends/strangers happen to ask.
We'll try to post the new lists here every year, as the official website usually crashes for a few moments when the list is posted for the first time.
ALL of the Items below should either be captured as "images" (which are photographs) or "videos". When you click "Submit," there will be instructions on how to submit the links to these images or videos. You should only use IMGUR and YOUTUBE.
IMPORTANT – Unless otherwise specified, ALL VIDEOS must be NO LONGER than 14 seconds. If you're a second or two over we're not going to penalize you (we know how finicky youtube can be), but aim for 14 or under. They can be shorter if you wish!
Task Deleted. After posting this item, we were spoken to by an enlightened being that shared with us the item we had here previously in support of Random Acts, was best supported elsewhere and that our involvement might create more issues than help. Although we do like to create issues occassionally, as far as Random Acts goes, we like to "help." If we were the types to admit fallibility we might say something like "sorry about that." But sorry, we're just not the type to apologize.
IMAGE or VIDEO. Get your country's intelligence agency (in the US this would be the CIA), to publicly announce on social media platforms or in an article that they "cannot confirm or deny" that your gishwhes team members are "covert operatives." Bonus points if the Director of the agency in question personally delivers the message.82 POINTS TASK DELETED. It has come to our attention that Misha was interrogated by the CIA overnight. After withholding kale from him, he agreed to remove the task. He is certainly not proud of this; however, in retaliation, he has a "global kale plan" that he is implementing that will likely create worldwide mayhem and kindness. No item being added due to recent information obtained by Dinomite indicating additional items would create a worldwide shortage of kale.
Item to be announced during the Hunt.71 POINTS No item being added due to recent information obtained by Dinomite indicating additional items would create a worldwide shortage of kale.
Be Safe and Legal. Do not risk your safety by attempting to complete an item that you think could be dangerous or illegal. If you start to question if what you are about to do might be dangerous or illegal, don't do it. You can find another item that's safe to complete. We are not experts in the legal code of over a hundred countries. While it is not Misha's intention, some items may not be legal in your country. Per our Rules and Regulations and Liability Waiver, it is your responsibility to determine this. If it is illegal in your locality or you think it might be illegal, don't do it!
Commandments. Read the Commandments. Yes, again. And maybe one more time. If you don't follow the Commandments, you will be docked points and you might even get your whole team disqualified. There are certain things in there, like not sharing your submissions online until AFTER the Hunt (unless an item specifies otherwise) that you don't want to miss. Also, we may add or remove items and change the rules on you mid-hunt, so it is your responsibility to check the Updates page daily.
Scavenging. Some are in this to win, others are in this to be creative, others are in this simply to spend a week of their life with friends doing something different. Respect everyone, no matter how hard they're scavenging. Focus on creating art, changing yourself and maybe even the world, not the talents or dedication of your teammates. Complainers, bullies and haters are not welcome in the kingdom of gishwhes and shall be banished forever.
Submission Quality. Judges are authorized to assign additional bonus points when judging item submissions (up to 100% or more depending on the item). Additional points may be assigned if all of the following are true: (1) the submission follows all of the item requirements, (2) there is something unique about the submission, (3) the image or video is stunning in how the content was put together, and (5) it looks like the team had fun completing the item. Try to submit the highest quality photos and videos you can. BUT DON'T WORRY! If you don't have an amazing camera, you'll be okay. Make up for it with unique props, angles, or ideas to enhance the submission. When assessing what you're going to do for a submission, try to find a way to make the judges go "wow." It will pay off in points.
Interpretation. If we ask for something to be in the picture or video, submit exactly what is asked. If we ask for a real camel in the picture, we don't want a drawing of a camel, or an inflatable camel. We want a real, hairy, spitting humped beast. Points will be docked for violation of this rule. Every year, this is our biggest problem with submissions. People think they can photoshop their way into the winners' circle. They can't. Don't be part of the problem.
Creative Courageous Scavenging. Be creative and courageous in how you get props and materials for your items. You don't have to buy materials. Teams use friends, neighbors, donations, and communities to collect item props. They do call outs on social media for props – think about it, you have hundreds of people's closets and garages to access! Moreover, you will find if you ask people for help, they will love to help a scavenger hunt. You can win simply by being clever and borrowing. Someone, somewhere has what you need. Ask and borrow. People will help you. This isn't a game of who can spend the most.
Do it. Have fun, make friends, push your boundaries and mud wrestle with your creative side.
