Vote 'No' on Measure L
David Dennick, The Brentwood Press, October 3, 2019
Editor: Recently, there has been a lot of talk about what effect the Vineyards at Deer Creek would have on Brentwood. Unfortunately, there has been no talk about the prior history of Brentwood. In reality, none of us knows what the future will bring; however, we can look back and learn from the past.
Long before many of you moved to Brentwood, the Highway 4 bypass — now known as Highway 4 — was built, much to the delight of local residents. Unfortunately, once completed, the new highway remained unopened and unusable for many months. The roadway between Balfour and Lone Tree was finished and ready for use, except for one item: the on ramps and off ramps had not been built. They were not included in the construction project. Oops.
Some years back, Brentwood was thrilled to become part of the Silicon Valley electronics age. A large building was built at the south end of town to house U.S. Print. The company was there for several years and closed. The building sat empty for a number of years, until the City of Brentwood took over and the building became the Brentwood Police Department.
Developers came to Brentwood with promises of building an upscale housing development, including a high-quality golf course. Shadow Lakes was built. Shadow Lakes is a nice community; unfortunately, due to a number of reasons not considered before the community was built, the golf course has all but closed. What is to become of the land the golf course used to occupy?
Shadow Lakes was so popular, Deer Ridge was developed across the street. Deer Ridge sold well, but many of the current residents are not happy. Like Shadow Lakes, the golf course has not been profitable and the course has now closed permanently.
Several years back, Brentwood promoted the building of a shopping mall, The Streets of Brentwood: big box stores, many satellite shops and lots of sales tax revenue for the city. Promises well made, however, many of the promised stores never appeared and the mall has been a game of musical chairs. The shopping mall has not been built out, and now there is a move afoot to convert their vacant shopping mall land into apartments. Once again, plans for the future failed.
John Muir Hospital was scheduled to build a hospital immediately south of the current John Muir Health Center. Reportedly, the plans have been shelved.
I really feel the people behind the Vineyards at Deer Creek have the best of intentions, but the history of Brentwood, the current economy and the lack of looking at reality loud and clear says the project as presented to the citizens of Brentwood is not in the city's best interest in the long term.

Walter Benjamin (Heftet)
A Critical Life
Howard Eiland og Michael W. Jennings
Forfatter: Howard Eiland og Michael W. Jennings
Forlag: Harvard University Press
Omtale Walter Benjamin
Walter Benjamin is one of the twentieth century's most important intellectuals, and also one of its most elusive. His writings-mosaics incorporating philosophy, literary criticism, Marxist analysis, and a syncretistic theology-defy simple categorization. And his mobile, often improvised existence has proven irresistible to mythologizers. His writing career moved from the brilliant esotericism of his early writings through his emergence as a central voice in Weimar culture and on to the exile years, with its pioneering studies of modern media and the rise of urban commodity capitalism in Paris. That career was played out amid some of the most catastrophic decades of modern European history: the horror of the First World War, the turbulence of the Weimar Republic, and the lengthening shadow of fascism. Now, a major new biography from two of the world's foremost Benjamin scholars reaches beyond the mosaic and the mythical to present this intriguing figure in full.
Howard Eiland and Michael Jennings make available for the first time a rich store of information which augments and corrects the record of an extraordinary life. They offer a comprehensive portrait of Benjamin and his times as well as extensive commentaries on his major works, including "The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility," the essays on Baudelaire, and the great study of the German Trauerspiel. Sure to become the standard reference biography of this seminal thinker, Walter Benjamin: A Critical Life will prove a source of inexhaustible interest for Benjamin scholars and novices alike.

The crisis of the post-Cold War European order
How should the West react to Russia's unrestrained pursuit of national interest? A policy of engagement defined as a focus on national interest, and a radical turn from value-based foreign policy to nineteenth century Realpolitik, is not a workable option for relations between Russia and the West, argues Ivan Krastev.
Post-Cold War Europe is history. In less than a decade, and powered by the soaring price of oil, President Vladimir Putin has turned Russia into a powerful international player. Russia's reliance on Western credits has turned into Europe's reliance on Russian gas. Russia's military budget has increased six-fold since the beginning of the century, and Russia's intelligence networks have penetrated all corners of Europe. Russia has regained its influence in Central Asia, and it has established a strategic cooperation with China in the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. The general mood in Moscow these days is that "Russia is up, America is down, and Europe is out. Russia, previously a Pluto in the Western solar system, has spun out of its orbit, powered by the determination to find its own system."1
The rhetoric of EU-Russia cooperation and partnership cannot mask the fact that mutual suspicion, misperception, frustration, and paranoia are starting to determine the dynamics of the relationship between Russia and the European Union. Russia's opposition to the West-sponsored independence of Kosovo and to the proposed installation of an American anti-missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic on the one hand, and Brussels' growing concerns about Russia's aggressive energy policy in Europe on the other, have poisoned the relationship by bringing back memories of the Cold War. "The Soviet Union was easier to deal with than Russia is today," observed a senior French diplomat." Sometimes the Soviets were difficult, but you knew they were being obstructive in order to achieve an objective. Now Russia seeks to block the West systematically on every subject, apparently without a purpose."2 In the eyes of the West, Russia has turned from a partner-in-the-making into an adversary-in-the-making. The mixture of mercantilism and messianism that is at the core of the Kremlin's new foreign policy frightens Europe.
Putin's new assertive foreign policy, expressed most powerfully in the Russian President's speech last February at the Munich Security Conference, rests on two key assumptions and one strategic calculation. The first assumption is that the United States' global hegemony is unsustainable and the decline of American power is irreversible. Russians are tempted to view the current crisis of America's global power as an analogy alongside the crisis of the Soviet power of the 1980s.The Russian media view the debacle in Iraq as "America's Afghanistan". Washington's conflicts with its European allies in the aftermath of the American invasion in Iraq are conceptualized as the dismantling of the informal American empire in Europe. The recent U.S. mortgage and banking crisis is seen as a signal of the fundamental weakness of the American economy.
The second assumption is that the European Union is a threat to Russian interests by way of its very existence as a post-modern empire. In Russia's view, however, the European Union is a temporary phenomenon exactly because of its post-modern nature. Russia's European strategy is based on the expectation that sovereign nation-states will determine Europe's future. This explains Moscow's stress on bilateral relations with big European member states (the sovereign states) and its growing reluctance to deal with the European Union. In the early years of his presidency, Vladimir Putin tended to view the European Union as a benevolent competitor and a strategic ally in Moscow's desire for a multipolar world. But the Orange Revolution in Ukraine became Russia's 9/11; it had a revolutionary impact on Russia's foreign policy thinking. Moscow realized that the European Union is the only great power with unsettled borders and that the urge to expand its principles and institutions are built into the European project. In response to the explosion of the "colour revolutions" in Georgia and Ukraine and the U.S.'s endorsement of regime change as a legitimate policy objective, Putin adopted the concept of sovereign democracy – security understood as absolute sovereignty – as the less interference from the outside, the safer you are.
Moscow's strategic calculation is that "the West is losing its monopoly on the globalization processes"3 and the next decade presents a window of opportunity for restoring Russia's global influence. Otherwise Russia will be overshadowed by the rise of China and Moscow will remain an "economy class" Great Power. In this sense, Russia's newly found taste for confrontation with the West is not an emotional overreaction or a theatrical grandstanding – it is a strategic choice. The Kremlin's new foreign policy is not circumstantial in nature. It is the expression of a new foreign policy consensus within the Russian elite and the Russian society at large. The change of personalities inside the Kremlin is unlikely to change this consensus.
The exceptionalism of the European Union
"What came to an end in 1989," wrote British diplomat Robert Cooper, summarizing Europe's consensus, "was not just the Cold War or even the Second World War. What came to an end in Europe (but perhaps only in Europe) were the political systems of three centuries: the balance of power and the imperial urge."4
The European policy elite assumed that the end of the Cold War meant the emergence of a new European order. The key elements of this post-modern European order were thought to be a highly developed system of mutual interference in each other's domestic affairs and security based on openness and transparency. The post-modern system does not rely on a balance of power; nor does it emphasize sovereignty or the separation of domestic and foreign affairs. It rejects the use of force as an instrument for settling conflicts and promotes increased mutual dependence between European states. The construction of the common European legal space, based on the priority of human rights institutionalized in the European Convention on Human Rights, is the embodiment of post-Cold War Europe. The essence of this order is the gradual transformation of the traditional European nation-state into an EU member state or an EU-compatible state.
Brussels' view on the interaction between the post-modern European order and American global hegemony has always been a mixture of ambiguity and hypocrisy. European policy elites were openly opposing America's unipolar world, advocating multilateralism and even multi-polarity. At the same time, the EU project was based on the United States' security umbrella in Europe and on America's global hegemony. The tension between the EU's post-modernism and the U.S.'s enlightened modernism was one of the reasons for the transatlantic crisis in 2003.The United States has tolerated the EU's exceptionalism regardless.
In its "Power Audit of EU-Russia Relations", the European Council on Foreign Relations nervously stated that "Russia has emerged as the most divisive issue in the European Union." Moscow has succeeded in splitting EU member states into "Trojan horses", "new cold warriors", "strategic partners", and friendly and frosty pragmatists. It has also provoked a clash between European business elites (Russia-friendly) and political and security elites (Russia-nervous). It has eroded EU consensus. In the view of the Council, Russia is "setting itself up as an ideological alternative to the European Union, with a different approach to sovereignty, power, and world order."
Three Russian decisions marked the end of the post-Cold War European order: withdrawal from the Treaty of Conventional Forces; deliberate efforts to block the work of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in the field of election monitoring; and refusal to ratify the Reform of the European Court on Human Rights, Protocol no. 14 to the European Convention on Human Rights. It is clear that Russia and the European Union have opposing views on the nature of the post-Cold War European order and on the sources of instability in Eurasia.
Russia was not a post-modern state in the 1990s, but part of the post-modern European order. The Treaty on Conventional Forces in Europe, the OSCE (based on intrusive inspections and active monitoring), and Russia's membership in the Council of Europe were the major instruments for integrating Russia in the post-modern system. They made Russia look as if it had accepted the post-modern imperatives of openness and interdependency while as a state still suffering from disfunctionality and an identity crisis. Russia's weakness has created the illusion that Moscow ideologically subscribes to the post-Cold War order in Europe. The reality turned out to be very different. As soon as it had an opportunity, Moscow chose to part with post-modernity and built its statehood according to European practices and ideologies of the nineteenth century rather than the European ideas of the twentyfirst century.
The European illusion that Russia can be a partner of the European Union in its struggle for a multipolar world based on international law is dead. For Moscow, support of multilateralism and the advocacy of a multipolar world were simply tactical weapons for contesting American hegemony. In reality, Russia's foreign policy instincts are more "American" than European. Russia believes in power, unilateralism, and an unrestrained pursuit of national interest. From the Kremlin's point of view, sovereignty is not a right; its meaning is not a seat in the United Nations. For the Kremlin, sovereignty is a capacity. It implies economic independence, military strength, and cultural identity. In the Kremlin's vocabulary, sovereign power is a synonym for Great Power. While the European Union was founded as a response to the perils of nationalism and the catastrophic rivalries of European nation-states in the first half of the twentieth century, Russia's foreign policy thinking is shaped by the perils of the post-national politics and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. European nightmares are rooted in the experience of the 1930s. Russia's nightmares are shaped by the Russian experience of the 1980s and 1990s. The European Union views the lack of democracy as a major source of instability in Eurasia. Russia views weak democracies and the Western policy of exporting democracy as the major source of instability in the post-Soviet space. The clash between these contrasting views of the European order was unavoidable.
At present, Russia's view of the European order is a mixture of nostalgia for the time of the "concert of Europe" and envy of today's China, which is managing to balance the economic opening to the West with rejection of any Western interference in its domestic politics. The Kremlin-sponsored ideology of sovereign democracy is meant to integrate Russia in the world economy while at the same time preventing any foreign interference in Russia's domestic politics.
Putin's Russia is not a pedestrian authoritarian state and it is not the paperback edition of the Soviet Union. Putin's Russia is a controversial project that combines the gains of Russia's capitalist revolution and the fears of democratic politics that shapes Russian political tradition. The communist one-party state has been replaced by Putin's one-pipeline state. Putin offered to Russian society consumer rights but not political rights, elections but not popular control of power, and state sovereignty but not individual autonomy. Putin's sovereign democracy model has succeeded to secure political stability, but it has failed to create a stable political system. Putin could speak and act for Russia to an extent that is rare in the history of the world. However, the cohabitation of Putin's hand-picked successor Dimitri Medvedev (to be elected President shortly after this writing, in March 2008), and Vladimir Putin himself (in the dual role of Prime Minister and a national leader) may turn out to be less harmonious than the succession strategists expect. In Russia, the transfer of power has always been also about redistribution of property. The existence of two centres of power at the heart of the Russian political system makes the regime profoundly unstable. In Putin's own words, "centralized power is in Russia's DNA."
Russia is both a rising global power and a weak state with corrupt and inefficient institutions. Putin's Russia is more democratic but less predictable and reliable than the Soviet Union. Putin's regime seems rock solid and at the same time extremely vulnerable. Russia's economic growth looks both impressive and unsustainable. The more capitalist and Westernized Russia becomes, the more anti-Western its policies become.
The Policy Trap
At present, Western policymakers are oscillating between their desire to speak tough and teach Russia a lesson, and the realization that the West has lost most of its leverage over Russia. The West's strategy in Russia is lost in the controversy between those who want to contain Russia and those who want to engage Russia. Unfortunately "containment" and "engagement" are policy slogans and not effective strategies.
What exactly is the West preparing itself to contain – Russia's ideology, Russia's anticipated territorial expansion, or Russia's economic presence in Europe? Containing its ideology will be tricky because Putin does not present a coherent ideology for export. Sovereign democracy, while attractive to some post-communist elites and societies, is primarily a defensive weapon. At the core of Moscow's soft power today is not the attraction of Putinism as an ideology, but the oil money and the corruption skills of Russian companies. Containing Russia's territorial aspirations will also be a misguided objective. Russia's foreign policy (unlike the Soviet one) is not obsessed with territory. Moscow is not dreaming about restoring its territorial empire. What the Kremlin is interested in is control over the energy infrastructure in post-Soviet states and the neutralization of Western influence. When it comes to Russia's economic presence in Europe, the notion of "containment" confronts the very logic of the free market on which the West was founded. The cost of anti-Russian protectionism in the European Union will be the slowing of growth in Europe. Unlike the Soviet Union that was determined to destroy capitalism, Putin's Kremlin is in the business of exploiting and enjoying it. Russia has become "undeniably capitalist, relatively open, and reasonably integrated in the world".5 The economic containment of Russia will be forcefully opposed by Europe's business community and by European consumers.In short, containment is not a policy option that will work.It is a rhetorical figure or, as Russian Minister Sergei Lavrov likes to claim, containing Russia is a mentality.6
"Engagement" is also nothing more than a policy slogan. It is easy to agree that Russia and the West share strategic interests. The West needs Russia's cooperation in dealing with Iran's nuclear ambitions, in fighting international terrorism, and in managing the rise of Asia. Russia needs the West for its technological and institutional modernization. But a policy of engagement defined as a focus on national interest, and a radical turn from value-based foreign policy to nineteenth century Realpolitik, is not a workable option for today's relations between Russia and the West. The advocates of a "grand bargain" between Russia and the West fail to take into consideration the peculiar nature of the European Union as a global policy player. While the United States is an ideological power by choice, the European Union is an ideological power by its very nature. As reknowned historian and political scientist George Kennan said of "the political personality" of Soviet power, the EU's power also "as we know it today is the product of ideology and circumstances".7 At the moment when the European Union shifts to traditional nineteenth century-style Realpolitik, the common EU foreign policy is not imaginable anymore. The grand bargain with Russia will result in the re-nationalization of the big EU member states' foreign policies and will destroy the hope of a common European foreign policy.
In short, the West is facing an unhappy choice. Sticking to the policy rationale of the 1990s risks an escalation in its confrontation with Russia; however, breaking with that policy rationale threatens the relevance of the European Union as a global policy player. The West should decide how to treat Russia – as a rising global power or as a declining great power that enjoys a temporary rise thanks to the high price of oil. Treating Russia as a declining power is seductive but dangerous.
Threatening Russia as effective authoritarian state will be a mistake. Putin's regime is less stable and more ineffective than most observers believe. The hope that Russia's revisionism gives a new rationale for enlarging NATO and anchoring countries like Georgia and Ukraine to the West is also illusory. In the long-term, Putin's Russia cannot play the role once played by the Soviet Union, and making EU and NATO enlargement the West's principal and only strategy can also backfire. Such a strategy overestimates the EU's and NATO's transformational power. The recent developments in the Balkans demonstrate that the soft power of the EU and NATO is in decline. It is also obvious that NATO and EU enlargements are not a panacea for weak states and divided societies. The adoption of a strategy of further NATO enlargement in the post-Soviet space risks importing instability into the European Union and NATO instead of exporting stability into Eurasia. Secondly, the EU and the United States view Russia differently. For the United States, Russia is primarily a global power and Washington is interested in Moscow's cooperation in sustaining the global order. For the European Union, Russia is first and foremost a European power. Brussels is interested in preserving the post-modern nature of the European order. A common transatlantic strategy is viewed as desirable by both the Unied States and the European Union, but it will be extremely difficult to achieve. While U.S. policymakers can decide to build their relationship with Russia primarily around cooperation in the field of non-proliferation and counter-terrorism, this is not a strategy option for the European Union.
The real source of confrontation between Russia and the European Union today is not primarily rival interests or unshared values; it is political incompatibility. Russia's challenge to the European Union cannot be reduced to the issue of energy dependency and Moscow's ambition to dominate her "near abroad" that happens to be the EU's "new neighbourhood". At the heart of the current crisis is not the clash between democracy and authoritarianism – history demonstrates that democratic and authoritarian states can easily cooperate – but the clash between the post-modern state embodied by the European Union and the traditional modern state embodied by Russia.
The European Union, with its emphases on human rights and openness, threatens the Kremlin's "sovereign democracy" project. Russia's insistence on balance of power and mercantilist geopolitical hardball stimulates the re-nationalization of the foreign policy of EU member states. In Moscow, the EU's policy of democracy promotion awakens the nightmare of ethnic and religious politics and the threat of territorial disintegration of the Russian Federation. At the same time, faced with the invasion of Russian state-minded companies, EU member states are tempted to ring-fence certain sectors of their economies (such as domestic energy markets), thus threatening the liberal economic order that is at the centre of the European project. Russia, on the other hand, feels threatened by the invasion of Western-funded nongovernmental organisations. The Kremlin is tempted to re-create the police state in order to prevent foreign interference in its domestic politics. Brussels is ready to endorse the Central Asian autocrats in order to limit its dependence on Russian gas. In short, what threatens Europe today is not mutually destructive nuclear war, but mutual destabilization of Russia and the European Union that can result in the marginalization of Europe in global politics.
Reinventing the European Order
The post-Cold War was an exceptional and admirable decade in European history. It expanded the frontiers of freedom and democracy and made the reunification of Europe possible. Today, we face a completely different reality. While the capitalist revolution has triumphed, the democratic revolution is in retreat. The U.S.-dominated unipolar world is in crisis and the European Union has lost some of its ability to shape realities in its own periphery. Both the United States and the European Union suffer from a profound crisis of self-confidence. Many societies in the world have second thoughts about democratic revolutions and the export of democracy. EU expansion is on hold because the European publics are less and less enthusiastic about new rounds of enlargements. The United States and NATO have lost prestige and legitimacy in the context of the Iraq war and the operation in Afghanistan.
In short, the policies of the 1990s were possible in the 1990s. Continuing the policies of 1990s in this new context creates grounds for reintroducing the sphere-of-influence politics in Europe rather than expanding the borders of democracy. The re-emergence of two blocks in Europe should not be an objective of EU foreign policy.
Breaking with the policies of the 1990s also presents a risk. There is a growing consensus today that the West made a strategic mistake taking advantage of Russia's weakness in the 1990s and treating Russia as a defeated enemy instead of treating it as a transformed enemy.8 But the claim that Russia's current foreign policy is simply a reaction or overreaction to the Western policies of the 1990s is unconvincing. It serves to justify Putin's policies and not to explain them. Ronald Asmus, executive director of the German Marshall Fund's Brussels office and former U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for European affairs, is correct to insist that "had NATO and the European Union not acted in the 1990s, Europe today would be messier, less stable, and a more inward-looking place".9 The concessions of the European Union and the United States to Putin's Russia could be read as a sign of weakness and not a sign of good will. Countries like Ukraine and Georgia are legitimately concerned that a "Russia first policy" can be detrimental to their political and economic development.
EU policy toward Russia should start with the recognition that Russia will remain a global player during the next decade. At the same time, it is unlikely that Russia will become a mature liberal democracy during that period. The European Union should also recognize that for Moscow "the result of the policy of integration with the West in the 1990s was the establishment of external control over Russian resources; the construction of European and global security systems patterned after NATO and without Russia's participation in it; and continuous loss of Russia's influence in the area of its strategic interests (former Soviet republics)."10 So, Russia has legitimate concerns about the asymmetrical impact of the end of the Cold War on its security. Russia felt betrayed in its expectations that the end of the Cold War would mean demilitarization of Central and Eastern Europe. And while NATO enlargement did not bring any real security threats to Russia, it has changed the military balance between Russia and the West and it has fueled Moscow's revisionism. Russia has legitimate reasons to suspect that the West's policy of democracy promotion is more interested in promoting Western foreign policy objectives than in strengthening democratic institutions. Western "blessing" for the bombing of the Russian Parliament in 1993 and Western endorsement of the "free and fair" re-election of Boris Yeltsin in 1996 have given democracy promotion a dubious name.
What the European Union and the United States can offer Russia today is not a "grand bargain", but an opportunity for reinventing the post-Cold War European order. Tradeoffs like Kosovo's independence for non-installation of America's anti-missile defense shield in Poland and the Czech Republic will not work. The European Union should focus on establishing institutional foundations for the co-existence of a post-modern empire-in-building in the Western part of the continent, and a post-imperial nation-state-in-building in Russia. Both projects are internally controversial and fragile. The world does not know a state structure similar to the present European Union and the world has never known a Russian nation-state. It was Count Sergei Witte, prime minister under Nicholas II, who said that there was no such thing as Russia, but only a Russian empire.
The post-modern European order has emerged on the ruins and in the shells of the Cold War institutions like OSCE and the Treaty of Conventional Weapons. It was shaped by the EU's Eastern enlargement and the understanding of the enlargement of the European Union as a reunification of Europe. From Brussels, there was no immediate pressure to re-invent the institutional foundation of the European order because EU enlargement was the institutional foundation of the new European order. Brussels was molding the new European order by transforming the economy and the political institutions on its periphery. The democratization of its neighbours was the EU's common foreign policy. Brussels' message to the former communist societies was that if you behave like us, you will become one of us. This is no longer true. The new reality in Europe is the emergence of a post-enlargement European Union and a resurgent Russia that presents itself as an alternative model to the EU. Re-institutionalizing the European order is an imperative for taming confrontation between Moscow and Brussels and the only alternative to the re-emergence of spheres of influence in Europe. The Western policy community presently rejects all of Russia's attempts for renegotiating the Treaty on Conventional Weapons as well as the mandate and the agenda of the OSCE. The conventional wisdom is that the result of such renegotiations would be a retreat from the achievements of the 1990s.But how correct is this judgment?
The European Union cannot act as a fervent guardian of the post-Cold War status quo without risking a total collapse of the institutional infrastructure of post-Cold War Europe. In reality, it is in Brussels' interest to take the initiative and to engage Russia in a dialogue over the institutional foundations of the shaken European order. The EU's main objective in political terms should be to preserve the distinctive character of this order. More so than the world at large, Europe today is founded on the centrality of human rights and the rule of law. This is something that Brussels should fight for and that it should preserve. The EU's main objective in institutional terms should be to centre the institutions of the new European order around the European Union as a principal policy actor and not on its member states. The duel nature of Russia's regime – capitalist and non-democratic, European and anti-EU – and the finalization of EU institutional reforms suggest such a strategy.
The Kremlin is not rejecting any of the basic principles of the democratic West. Officially, it is not rejecting liberal democracy but trying to define its national model. The Kremlin is not officially rejecting the primacy of human rights and a rule-of-law based society, it is simply not practicing them. Moscow's major complaint is not about the West's standards, its about the West's double standards. What the European Union should make use of is the fact that the legitimacy of Russia's current regime is based to a large extent on the perception that it is a regime that strives to bring Russia back into the European civilization. It is true that Russia does not dream of being part of the European Union any more. However, Russia's stability depends on preserving the European nature of its regime.
It is not by accident that – unlike his Central Asian fellow-presidents – President Vladimir Putin decided to step out of office and let go of power after the end of his second term. The regime is doomed, the moment the Russian elite loses their European legitimacy. This European dependence open an opportunity for the West to defend its principles in negotiating the new European order with Russia. Brussels should offer its own vision for the institutional framework of Europe.
The Lisbon treaty unblocked the EU reform agenda and allowed Brussels to concentrate on building an EU-centered European order that would guarantee the coexistence of the EU's post-modern empire and post-imperial Russia without hurting the interests of third countries. The transformation of the Contact Group on Kosovo consisting of six countries (the United States, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy) into the Troika Process consisting of the United States, Russia, and the European Union is the model for such re-institutionalization of Europe. Creating institutional incentives for the EU's unity can help Europe overcome the structural contradiction of the European project. The transformation of the OSCE into a political forum where EU member states will be individually represented by the European Union, for example, could be such an institutional innovation. If Russia's strategy aims to erode the Union by focusing on bilateral relations with selected member states, Brussels' priority should be to institutionalize the Union as Russia's negotiating partner. Reinventing the European order will allow both the European Union to achieve this major objective and will create the institutional framework for cooperation and competition. Russia will secure non-interference in its domestic politics while the European Union will reinstitute a European order based on the rule of law and transparency.
We need a new European order that will not only allow the coexistence of a post-modern European Union and a post-imperial Russia, but allow for a co-existence based on the principles of the Council of Europe. The European Union and the United States cannot pretend any more that they have the legitimacy or the capacity to transform Russia into a liberal democracy in the coming decade. But the European Union should not allow Russia to send it into a benevolent irrelevance.

Varieties of antifascism
Russian notes towards a global debate
Controversies over whether there has ever been a true antifascism are ultimately irresolvable. Understanding the varieties of Soviet and post-Soviet antifascism can de-parochialize this debate and add to a conversation appropriate to the global challenge of authoritarian ultra-nationalism.

Q: Invalid argument supplied Kohana I have found the following error, please tell me how i can correct this error.
ErrorException [ 2 ]: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() ~ APPPATH/kohana/system/classes/Kohana/Arr.php [ 452 ]

A: Obviously, supply a valid argument :)
To properly answer you question you and I need to know what argument you are supplying. So do a var_dump of the variable just before the foreach-loop to find out.
A common mistake made is passing an empty or non-array variable. Put an if-statement around the foreach as a simple solution like this:
if($bar){
 foreach($bar as $foo){
  //your code
 }
}


A plugin-filter that smoothens an image with periodic boundary conditions.
The filter is intended for smoothing in the Fourier domain, e.g. for smoothing custom FFT filters, and for rotational smoothing when used after the Polar_Transformer plugin.
"Periodic boundary conditions" means that the image is treated as if repeated on all sides. Thus, an object at, e.g., the right edge of the image will be blurred into the image at its left edge.
"Type": Smoothing can be done by moving averages ("mean") or an approximation of a "Gaussian" blur implemented as successive moving average filters.
"X Direction", "Y Direction": Filtering can be done in one direction only (x or y) or in both directions.
"Radius": For moving averages (type='mean'), the kernel size is 2*(radius+1). For the approximated Gaussian, 'radius' roughly gives the standard deviation sigma.
Preview is available with the "Preview" checkbox.
The filter works on the whole image, irrespective of any selection (roi).
The approximation of a Gaussian is very rough for values of the radius (sigma) below approx. 3. In any case, sigma (radius) is not a smooth variable but varies with steps of a few tenths.
Download the sourcecode (file Periodic_Boundary_Blur.java), put it into the "plugins" folder or a subfolder thereof and compile it via Plugins>Compile and Run… (make sure you name the downloaded file "Periodic_Boundary_Blur.java"; uppercase/lowercase matters).

Nokia implements Cellular One's EDGE and AMR to Four Corners region of the United States
Agreement brings EDGE mobile data communications network to remote areas
October 30, 2006 - Irving, TX, USA - Nokia announced it has completed implementation and optimization services for the deployment of Cellular One's Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) data and Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) voice services to northeast Arizona, northwest New Mexico and southeast Utah.
"We are pleased to have worked with Cellular One to deliver EDGE services to residents of the Four Corners region who were previously unable to enjoy access to advanced data and voice communication," said Tim Johnson, Vice President, Networks, Nokia. "This agreement builds upon a foundation set by Nokia and Cellular One in this region in 2002 and demonstrates the commitment of both companies to providing customers with an enhanced communications experience."
The delivery of EDGE services, which increase data transfer speeds, and AMR services, a voice compression technology that improves network efficiency, will allow residents living on Native American reservations in this region to have Internet access for the first time. The agreement upgrades Cellular One's existing GPRS network investment in the region and will pave the way for new 3G applications and services.
"Nokia has been a valued partner to Cellular One in delivering solutions that provide our customers with high quality mobile voice and data services," said Richard Watkins, CEO, Cellular One. "Together, we are providing over 60,000 Native American residents in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah with state-of-the-art EDGE services, which will enable rich mobile data communications to a region that has been without it for too long."
Nokia has been a supplier to Cellular One since 2002, providing Nokia mobile switching, radio access technology, implementation and operational services to build and support Cellular One's GSM/EDGE network.
Nokia provides a full range of services to assist operators with integration, installation, deployment, optimization and operation of their networks. Nokia's global service organization offers expertise in systems integration, service management, operations solutions, hosting and managed services.

But this year, the Chinese have all but stopped buying. The largest market for one of America's largest exports has shut its doors. The Chinese government imposed a tariff on American soybeans in response to the Trump administration's tariffs on Chinese goods. The latest federal data, through mid-October, shows American soybean sales to China have declined by 94 percent from last year's harvest.
"We're sitting on the edge of our seat," Mr. Karel said.
President Trump sees tariffs as a tool to force changes in America's economic relationships with China and other major trading partners. His tough approach, he says, will revive American industries like steel and auto manufacturing that have lost ground to foreign rivals. But that is coming at a steep cost for some industries, like farming, that have thrived in the era of globalization by exporting goods to foreign markets.
"Openness has become a trademark of China," Mr. Xi said Monday at a trade fair in Shanghai that the Chinese government described as an opportunity for foreign companies to display their wares. Mr. Trump, for his part, said last week that "we're much closer" to striking a deal with China, though administration officials have said the two sides remain far apart, and no deal is imminent.
Some farmers in North Dakota say they trust Mr. Trump to negotiate in the nation's interest. Mr. Karel said many of his customers wear red "Make America Great Again" caps and insist that the pain of lost business and lower profits is worthwhile. They say they'll suffer now so their children benefit later --- echoing the argument Mr. Trump has made.
Others are less enthused. Greg Gebeke, who farms 5,000 acres outside Arthur with two of his brothers, said he struggled to understand the administration's goals.
"I'm trying to follow and figure out who the winners are in this tariff war," Mr. Gebeke said. "I know who one of the losers are and that's us. And that's painful."
North Dakota's soybean industry was created by Chinese demand for the beans, which are crushed to make feed for animals and oil for human consumption.
China is by far the world's largest importer of soybeans. The country consumed 110 million tons of soybeans in 2017, and 87 percent of those beans were imported --- the vast majority from either Brazil or the United States. While soybeans are grown throughout the Midwest, the soybean fields of North Dakota are the part of soybean country that is closest to the Pacific Ocean, and so its beans are mostly sent to China.
In the mid-1990s, there were 450,000 acres of soybeans in the state. Last year, there were 6.4 million. As the state's production of soybeans increased, companies spent millions of dollars on larger grain elevators, on the 110-car trains that carry the soybeans west to the Pacific Coast, on bigger terminals at the ports. A few years ago, Mr. Gebeke traded his grain drill, used to plant wheat, for a second machine to plant soybeans.
Soybean farmers also spent millions of dollars cultivating the Chinese market. Farmers in North Dakota and other states contribute a fixed percentage of revenue to a federal fund called the "soybean checkoff" that pays for marketing programs like trade missions to China and research intended to convince Chinese farmers that pigs raised on American soybeans grow faster and fatter. In 2015, North Dakota soybean farmers footed the bill for an event in Shanghai honoring the 10 "most loyal" buyers of American soybeans.
The soybean industry's sales pitch emphasized the reliability of American infrastructure and the political stability of the United States. The message was that the Chinese could be confident that American farmers would deliver high quality soybeans.
"I've been to China 25 times in the last decade talking about the dependability of U.S. soybeans," said Kirk Leeds, the chief executive of the Iowa Soybean Association. By undermining that reputation, he said, "we have done long-term damage to the industry."
But the mood is souring quickly. Mr. Gebeke's wife, Debra, a retired psychologist, has returned to work at North Dakota State University, to counsel distraught farmers. Public health officials in North Dakota, already confronting a recent rise in suicides, are concerned about the impact of falling prices, particularly on younger farmers with high levels of debt.
Mr. Gebeke, 65, recalled President Jimmy Carter's decision to suspend wheat sales to the Soviet Union in 1979. The embargo ended two years later but, by then, the Soviets were getting more of their grain from Ukraine. Speaking of the soybean standoff, he said, "They could get together tomorrow and iron this thing all out and I don't think we'll ever get all of our market back."
As China swallows the world's supply of non-American soybeans, other countries are buying more beans from the United States, especially European nations that usually import beans from Brazil.
But waiting carries risks. Soybeans can spoil, and Brazil harvests its crop in the spring, creating fresh competition for American beans. "Hope is unfortunately a terrible marketing plan," said Nancy Johnson, executive director of the North Dakota Soybean Growers Association.
The industry continues to seek new markets. Jim Sutter, chief executive of the U.S. Soybean Export Council, said he was focused on persuading Indians to eat more chicken. The council, which already provides funding to Indian trade groups, is planning to back an advertising campaign. "People in India will eat more protein as the economy grows, but our job is to speed that up," Mr. Sutter said.
Farmers typically begin to purchase seeds and fertilizer before the end of the year, so the low prices are shaping next year's crop. The Hokanas divided their land evenly between soybeans and corn this year; next, they plan to plant half as many acres of soybeans. Instead they will devote more land to corn, and also to some wheat for the first time in two decades, and perhaps specialty crops like peas and black beans.
Mr. Hokana knows that other farmers are likely to make similar decisions, and that the corn market next fall may be glutted. Specialty crops like peas and edible beans command higher prices, but also require more work and specialized equipment. Also, unlike the big cash crops, specialty crops can't be hedged. That means the farmer carries all the risk of a bad year.
"The goal for next year," Mr. Hokana said, "is just to break even."

The fact that the exponents of afrocubanismo were primarily white middle-class intellectuals and artists probably stimulated Copyrighted Material "I Was Born of Africa" 19 more resentment and suspicion on the part of their black critics. No other black writer was more emphatic in his or her rejection of Afro-Cuban traditions and the tenets of afrocubanismo than Alberto Arredondo, who in the pages of Adelante (Onward), a black middle-class magazine, evoked the ideals of mestizaje and superaci6n in his critiques: "It is logical that what began to be known as 'Cuban music' during the colonial era, was a mix of African and Spanish rhythms, although the marked improvement of the former continued to get stronger" (Arredondo 1938).
IS Arsenio's characterization of his music as African certainly resonated with the theme of the program and the broader political and social Copyrighted Material 18 CHAPTER ONE environment of the 1960s, marked by the civil rights movement in the United States and the black power movements throughout the African diaspora. Through the 1930s in Cuba, however, recognizing one's African heritage with pride and praising the African contribution to the nation were largely condemned as tantamount to harboring antiwhite racist and unpatriotic sentiments (Helg 1995, p.
A closer examination of his afrocubanos, however, reveals that in redeploying these dominant signs of blackness Arsenio engaged in a parody of a parody, a reversal of received racist conventions, or what Henry Louis Gates Jr. has referred to as "repetition with a difference" (Gates 1988, pp. 106-10). 19 As linguist John Lipski notes, the speech of bozales or African-born slaves formed as a Copyrighted Material 20 CHAPTER ONE hybrid structure consisting of a Spanish (or pidgin Spanish) morphosyntactic frame with an African lexical core.

Q: Save File in javascript clientside using utf-8 string I need to download an image file when user click a download button.

A: Png files are not utf-8 encoded, notice all those invalid code sequence replacement characters(�) in the string.
You need to get the data in binary format, such as blob or array buffer. Something like
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function(){
    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200){
        ...
        var blob = this.response; //The binary data

This special issue on art and wellness explores the connections between creativity and health.
April 1, 2015 • By Oriol R. Gutierrez Jr.
I have always wanted to draw well. Although the best I've ever gotten is stick figures, I very much enjoy the arts. Having made my living for decades dealing in words, I admire how artists can use sight and sound to convey ideas and feelings that escape words.
The power of art to inspire—and even heal—was wielded quite well during the 1980s and '90s at the heights of the AIDS crisis. The efforts of HIV activists were arguably enhanced by the widespread adoption of the pink triangle and the red ribbon as symbols of the fight.
Countless artists during those years were lost to AIDS. The absence of an entire generation of painters, photographers, actors, dancers, singers, designers and other creative people is just too large to comprehend. As they left us, the once seemingly omnipresent voices of artists in the HIV fight grew quieter.
This distancing has manifested not only in the art itself, but also in institutional support from the arts for HIV/AIDS. However, the partnership between the arts and the fight against the virus is far from dead. This special issue on art and wellness explores the connections between creativity and health.
Artist and long-term survivor Eric Rhein embodies these connections. His ongoing Leaves piece—a collection started in 1996 of leaf portraits memorializing over 200 people lost to the virus—combines memory and activism, which hopefully provides healing in the process for Rhein and the rest of us.
The 2012 death of activist Spencer Cox was a reminder for many long-term survivors across the country of the ongoing costs of their collective achievements. In response, Rhein created a leaf for Cox. That leaf graces our cover. Click here to read more about how Rhein continues to expand his art.
The Cox leaf also will be one of the many attractions of Art AIDS America, a traveling exhibition a decade in the making of more than 100 pieces by well-known artists, as well as by regional and community artists. The show kicks off in June. Click here for more about the exhibition, including locations.
Poet and songwriter Mary Bowman uses words to paint pictures. Born with HIV 26 years ago, she is able to share her insights as a long-term survivor with young and old alike. In addition to her poetry, Bowman also has recorded her first album. Click here for more on her art and to read one of her poems.
Photographer Duane Cramer lost his father to AIDS 10 years before testing HIV positive himself in 1996. He uses the lessons those events have taught him in his photography, especially in his work with several HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns over the years. Click here for our Q&A with Cramer.
The World AIDS Museum, located in Wilton Manors, Florida, officially opened its doors this past December. Click here to find out how director of operations Ed Sparan and his team are making HIV history accessible to all.

1 inch of rain on a 1000 sq ft roof yields 625 gallons of water. To calculate the yield of your roof, multiply the square footage of your roof by 625 and divide by 1000.
One good rainfall, and my 300 gallon capacity is overflowing!
In the end, we conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught."
Hi Gail, food for thought, this one. How can you save enough rainwater without having a cistern like the one at the Ladybird Johnson wildflower center? Sigh.
I am with you on that...and I have looked at a cistern for here but, can you imagine the cost of digging to lay all the pipes that would connect to a collection area...to say nothing of the cistern and pump! When we build our dream eco-house! I still like this young woman's energy; she is collecting and able to save some water!
As Frances said, we might need to have a cistern to collect all the water that falls in the winter! Occasionally we get a big rain in the summer and it would be fabulous to be able to collect some of the water and store for dry days!
I am spoiled being on metro water! I can't imagine ever having to worry about my water disappearing and my well drying up!
I wish plastic barrels were easier to find.
When I have the gutters on my house replaced, I plant to ask about rain barrels.
What a good thing. I am going to check it out as I have been trying to figure out how to put that bottom spigot in where it will not leak or pop out.
Marnie, I got my plastic barrels at an auto store in the country. They were only $12 per. Also, my friend Geri got a few from the local newspaper. You might try those two assets for some cheap barrels.
Wow, that's really something to consider. I never realized that much water could be accumulated. Congrats to Beth.
We don't have gutters on the house. Most people down here in GA in our area don't seem to have gutters. Mystery to us but we are thinking with all the GA pine trees maybe the needles are the reason… hummm, one to ponder….
Where I live there is rain all year round but nevertheless I have 3 rain barrels and am hoping to buy a few more just to tide me over when it's not raining. A cistern would be great but far too expensive. This summer so far has been a wet one and all my rain barrels are filled to overflowing.
Your city government might have someone in their storm water management department who is in charge of rainbarrels etc! Ours does...they don't have a give away or purchase cheap but they sent me info on where to get a barrel and how to construct them!
I am sorry that I didn't have the gutters set up for rain barrels when they were replaced on the porch and the carport! Good luck!
Did you get the instructions I forwarded to you! Also the address for where to get food grade barrels is in the forward. Good luck with the leaks!
It is amazing how much water rolls off the roof adding to our stormwater management problems, carrying fertilized water to the river and eroding the yard. The plus is we can capture it for some watering of the garden!
No gutters and downspouts...what about flooded crawlspaces? That would make it hard to collect water if it's all rolling off the roof everywhere! I wondr what you could do?
I am glad to hear that you still see value in a rain barrel, it is easy for me to think that it isn't worth it. Not only one rain barrel but 3 and getting more! My dream home has a roof collection system and a cistern with a pump!
I know how you feel...as I stare at the blue sky and wonder again...where is my rain cloud! But if I had a barrel at each downspout I could save a lot of water...we have a dirth of downspouts! I want the rain to come back!
I know, I think it is crazy no gutters down here and a lot of people dont have garages either! We have a separate carport type (Roof and 3 sides but no door) away from the house. If I could make one major renovation with price not being a problem, it would be to add an attached garage! I guess a Georgia thing. Most new houses have them but people will leave their $50,000 Mercedes out in the weather while they store $500 worth of junk in the garage. Go Figure!
We've got a cistern buried in our yard (the bee hive, remember?), and we had three of them at the house I grew up in (another oldie but goodie house). My dad filled in one that was too close to the foundation, but left the other two. He had two pumps set up, so that's how he watered the garden the whole time he was there.
It's good to hear (from you and other commenters) that they're making a comeback. Such a smart idea should have never gone out of style!
I have a screen on my one rain barrel that I hope keeps out the critters, biting itching ones and small mammals! We naturally have dryer summers then you and they seem to be getting dryer each year! I may be pushing the boundaries in my garden to attempt to grow natives that like the soil to be constantly moist!
That is a great story about your dad and his garden!
So you grew up around gardening, did you work in his garden?
Hey, thanks Gail and Tina for the suggestions on rain barrels. I'll look into those.
Tina, on the spigot. I think adding a square of plastic inside to make a double wall at that point and then using some kind of silicone or water proof cement to prevent leaking around the spigot.
A great idea, Gail. I've been looking longingly at those rain barrels for awhile. I remember my grandmother used to have the old wooden rainbarrels sitting around her house. Funny, how some of those "old-fashioned" ideas went out of vogue, and now we're seeing the sense in them once again.
I have instructions on constructing them if you want me to forward it to you?
All things green is in now! I would love to have many more than the one I have...which is not connected yet! Truth in blogging! But I comfort myself by noting that it hasn't rained since I bought last month. On Beth's site...is a quote that says something like we have to go backwards sometimes in order to progress or go forward! Best go to her site and read it! But Your Grandma was wise is my saying!
No gutters on my Texas house either, Gail - although some people have them. Most houses here are on concrete slabs and many are on elastic clay - with recommendations to water the foundations to keep them stable.
I guess the water needs to land on the ground around houses like ours rather than being diverted. But then a seep garden can slow the water as it roars to the street so it can soak in over tree root zones. We seldom get rain...it's more likely to be drought or flood.
I'm sure barrels work in some climates.
Also much envy about your Lathyrus which we've tried and failed at several times.
Thank you for explaining why some houses don't have gutters...our house in on a slope and water collected in the crawl space when they overflowed. I often wonder what it would be like to have a gentle rain. It is either no rain or a deluge here in TN!
I have noticed the cracking earth around my foundation. When MMD was asking about her garden cracks, my curiosity got the best of me and I discovered that TN, especially East has elastic soil. I don't know if we have it here, but with the dry weather we have had, I am beginning to worry about cracks in my foundation...they are showing up. Sigh! Now we must water the house, too!
Thanks Annie for your thoughts and input...I thought Beth's system was perfect for folks who can collect water.
I have many lost comments and am never sure what is going on! As a mac user I have to post with Firefox and a recent download of Bookmarks has done something funky to my machine! I need to remove firefox and downloads and start over! I love the bookmark add-on, it's how I keep up with all of you bloggers! If you go to my home page...you won't see them, of course, but you will see that my "Incomplete List of Blogs I visit" is indeed incomplete! Any and all suggestions are welcome!
Celosia Caracas rocks...keep trying with the Sweet pea...try crummy soil, that's what I have!
SIGH heard all the way to Iowa I am sure!
Shady...oh my! I can't wait to read your post! I have a huge problem...I need way more compost for this clay soil then I can produce...so anything that makes compost is attractive right now...even worms!
I'm so envious of your beautiful Rucbeckia's, Something has eaten mine, and they are all gone.
I am so sorry..I can't imagine what it could be except maybe deer! That would make me very sad!

Jason Castro has surgery to remove cyst from knee
By D.J. ShortSep 19, 2013, 9:04 PM EDT
Jason Castro was shut down earlier this week due to right knee discomfort and now Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports that he underwent a minor procedure today to have a cyst removed.
Castro fouled a ball off his knee on September 2 and had the cyst drained one day later, but he only appeared in two more games as a DH before being shut down. While his right knee has been a problem in the past, costing him the entire 2011 season, he is expected to be 100 percent for 2014.
Castro was a big bright spot for the rebuilding Astros this season, batting .276/.350/.485 with 18 home runs and 56 RBI. Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow still has a lot of holes to fill before the team becomes a contender, but catcher shouldn't be one of them.

1 seriously injured in shooting on Indy's north side; SWAT called to scene
Posted 5:37 PM, January 6, 2020, by FOX59 Web, Updated at 03:53PM, January 10, 2020
UPDATE (January 10, 2020): The victim has been identified as George Johnson, 76, who succumbed to injuries on Friday, January 10. Harley Edmonds, 72, was arrested and faces a battery by means of a deadly weapon charge, according to Marion County prosecutors.
UPDATE (January 6, 2020): Police say the situation has been resolved and the 2100 block of West 79th Street will be reopened shortly.
ORIGINAL STORY (January 6, 2020):
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — A person has been seriously injured in a shooting and a suspect has possibly barricaded themselves inside a home, prompting the SWAT team to be called to the scene, according to authorities.
Around 4:40 p.m. Monday, police were called to the 7800 block of Marquis Lane on the north side of Indianapolis in response to a person shot.
Upon arrival, officers were met by a male on the sidewalk with apparent gunshot wounds. He told police that his friend shot him and was still in the residence at that time, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. He was then taken to St. Vincent Hospital in critical condition.
Police say they currently have the residence surrounded and secured.
The IMPD SWAT team arrived, and negotiators have had multiple conversations with the suspect via phone as they work toward a resolution.
Indianapolis police say they believe the suspect may still be armed and remains a possible threat.
The 2100 block of West 79th Street will be shut down until the situation has concluded, according to police. The public is encouraged to avoid the area.
An investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
This is a developing story and will be updated when more information is available.
