On May 11, 1935, and pursuant to the authority of the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) by an executive order. Under this order, a sum of $75,000 was allocated to the new agency for administrative expenses.
Morris Llewellyn Cook, an engineer who had spent many years researching and investigating the need for rural electrification, was appointed as the first administrator for the REA.
On May 20, 1936, REA was passed making it a permanent agency of the Federal Government. A loan program was established making available long term, low interest loans to power companies, municipal electric systems, or electric cooperatives for extending electric service to rural areas and establishments not presently receiving central station electric service (electricity produced by large generating plants and delivered via wires to consumers). Few utility companies or municipal electric systems availed themselves of these loans because the expected revenue from the rural areas was much lower than from the cities, towns and urban areas. This left only one avenue for the rural dwellers. They formed their own electric system in the interest of service rather than profit.
The rural areas of the South Plains of Texas fell in this last category. There were approximately 2,700 farms in Lubbock County in 1937. Fewer than 30 of these were served with central station electric service. There were three incorporated towns and three unincorporated villages in the county that had electricity, as well as a few farm homes adjacent to them.
As early as 1936, several small groups of farmers became interested in the REA program. In 1937, a county-wide effort was started to electrify the rural areas. This effort coincided with interests shown in neighboring South Plains counties. There is little information left of these efforts before the time South Plains Electric Cooperative incorporated in late November 1937. This information was collected from persons who worked toward getting electric service during those first days; from correspondence and documents in the Cooperative's files; from the files of the Cooperative's first attorney, L.A. Howard, now deceased; from the files of the Cooperative's first engineer, H.N. Roberts of Lubbock, Texas, and from the Texas Tech University's file of local newspapers for the 1936-1937 period.
The first definite record that could be found of South Plains farmers trying to get electricity through the REA loan program was a letter from E.A. Manning, of Lubbock, writing to REA in Washington to request complete information on rural electrification. Mr. Manning's letter was dated September 30, 1936, and was answered on October 15, 1936, by N.L. Harfield, chief correspondent of the newly formed government lending agency. Harfield's letter to Mr. Manning included instructional literature about applying for a loan and accomplishments of REA. One interesting thing noted in the letter to Mr. Manning is the following excerpt: "To be financially self-supporting, a project should include at least twenty-five miles of line with an average of three customers per mile."
Although Mr. Manning, the first known correspondent, lived in Lubbock, he owned farm property in Southwest Lubbock County. At or about this time, a group of farmers north of Lubbock, in the New Deal community, had become interested in the REA program. Two of the leaders of the New Deal group were S.S. Allcorn, a farmer, and W.O. Fortenberry, a gin owner and farmer. All correspondence between the New Deal group and REA have since been destroyed, making it impossible to determine the exact date they first attempted to get a REA loan.
The Manning group, southwest of Lubbock, submitted an application for funds to REA on November 17, 1936, to build 27 miles of line to serve 126 customers. The New Deal group submitted an application about the same time to serve approximately the same size project. Mr. W.M. Ross, first president of the Cooperative, and a Mr. J.T. Collie, a print shop owner and land owner, were also active in the southwest group.
There may have been some correspondence between a group of farmers in the Roosevelt Community in east Lubbock County and REA but this could not be definitely verified. M.H. Vardeman, a farmer in that community, and Roy Monk, the vocational agriculture teacher, were early workers in the movement, but their main contribution was early in 1937.
No loans were made in response to these 1936 applications. REA policy was becoming better established and its direction changed from the pursuit of small projects to larger undertakings that could support administrative organizations with paid managers, linemen and service personnel. However, those first small applications had stimulated some rural interest that made development on an area-wide basis easier to pursue the following year.
During the last days of 1936 and early in 1937, a most significant movement took place that materially hastened rural electrification in Lubbock County, the heart of the South Plains. A move started to organize Grange chapters in various communities. Rural electrification was the first project attempted by the local chapters. County chapters were also formed, giving liaison between local chapters.
The first record of Grange chapters being organized in Lubbock County was January 12, 1937. By February 11, 1937, four chapters had been organized in Slaton, Southwest Ward, Shallowater and Roosevelt.
Birth of a Cooperative
Although South Plains Electric Cooperative did not receive a charter or become a Texas corporation until late in 1937, it had its birth on Monday night, March 8, 1937, in the Lubbock Junior High School. There was a county-wide Grange meeting with about 70 members present. A temporary committee was elected and served until the organization was incorporated. Committeemen were as follows:
C.E. Lilley, Slaton
C.Z. Fine, Posey
Z.L. Evans, Shallowater
W.O. Fortenberry, New Deal
M.H. Vardeman, Roosevelt
W.M. Ross, Southwest Ward
Lewis Countess, Idalou
A.B. Allen, Cooper
N.A. Payne, Carlisle
The Committee chose "South Plains Electric Cooperative Company" as the name of the corporation. All committeemen, except Fortenberry, Evans and Payne later became incorporators and charter members of the Cooperative.
On April 27, 1937, H.N. Roberts submitted an application for a REA loan with supporting maps and data to the committee for approval. The application showed 1,081 survey blanks signed by Lubbock County farmers pledging to take electric service. The applications showed Lubbock County to have 2,600 farms without electric service. The application proposed the construction of 430 miles of electric lines to serve the 1,081 signers. REA acknowledged receipt of the applications on May 10, 1937, but informed the group that REA was out of funds until the next fiscal year beginning July 1, 1937.
Due to fund restrictions from REA, the application was revised to reflect needs that didn't exceed the $100,000. A contract proposal was negotiated with the City of Lubbock to purchase power from the municipal electric system. Finally, on November 5, 1937, John M. Carmody, administrator of REA, notified the committee that $100,000 was allocated, opening the way for electricity to South Plains farms. In many respects this was impressive--scarcely a year from the time some interest had been shown in the area, and only six months from the date of the first county-wide effort. All this was accomplished with no outlay of money by the people except personal time and expense. Too much cannot be said for the financial risk assumed by the engineer and the attorney, and the thankless time spent by agriculture teachers, farm organizations, committeemen, and, finally, the farm workers who did almost all the legwork without thought of any compensation other than the chance of electricity.
Certainly the allotment did not end the work to be done. Right-of-way easements had to be secured, applications for service had to be obtained from each applicant along with a $5.00 membership fee. Lines had to be designed, staked and bids taken for actual construction. However, the task now had new meaning.
A charter was granted by the State of Texas on November 27, 1937, and to satisfy the Texas Electric Cooperative Inabling Act, the name was changed to South Plains Electric Cooperative, Inc.
The $100,000 was for building approximately 108 miles of line to serve about 298 subscribers. The first line of the Cooperative was energized on July 14, 1938, and this was only on a temporary basis from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Cooper Rural High School was then being built, and ironically, service was used for power saws, rather than for farm and home use. On August 5, 20 miles of line was permanently "cut hot" serving 63 consumers. All work was completed by the contractor on August 12. By August 27, 137 miles on the first section was energized, serving 266 members.

Why Does John McCain Hate Susan Rice? Republicans and Benghazi
by Josh Busby
I've been curious why John McCain is pursuing Susan Rice with such a vengeance for her inopportune remarks on Sunday talk shows in September about the not-so spontaneous attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. As I think about other prospective nominees to lead the State Department like John Kerry, John McCain actually has more in common with Ambassador Rice.
Susan Rice has been one of the Obama Administration's more ardent interventionists on Libya, Syria, and Darfur. Like McCain, Rice is willing to use military force to prevent atrocities and defend American interests. Liberal internationalists like Rice actually has views more in tune with neocons like McCain than they do with realists like John Kerry. Where realists are quite conservative about the prospects for using force in defense of the country's values, both liberal internationalists and neocons are optimistic about the ability to remake the world in the image of the United States. That is what makes them both liberal. Indeed, neoconservative is a misnomer. They really should have been called liberal nationalists. Where they differ from liberal internationalists is on means. Liberal internationalists prefer multilateral instruments to address foreign policy problems whereas neocons prefer national ones.
So, McCain by attacking Rice with such vehemence may diminish her prospects to be confirmable as Secretary of State, perhaps leading the president to nominate someone even less simpatico with McCain's worldview. Among the leading contenders is John Kerry whose own military experience seems to have made him largely allergic to the use of force (Kerry has been criticized by conservative media like the Wall Street Journal for being too cozy with the Assad regime). Even a long shot like former Obama Ambassador to China and Republican John Huntsman appears to be even more inclined to support an anti-interventionist foreign policy (save for with respect to Iran).
Today, McCain was deprived of one argument when Director of National Intelligence James Clapper admitted it was he who had asked for the words "terrorism" and "al Qaeda" be removed from the talking points Rice was given for the talk show appearances.
Some have speculated that this attack on Rice is merely a ploy for Republicans to recover their waning advantage on national defense and foreign policy. Others suggest erstwhile critics like South Carolina's Senator Lindsey Graham are preparing for reelection and a potential primary challenge.
Whatever their reasons, attempts to use a partisan cudgel to undercut Rice's candidacy so far have only irked the president, who responded with a vigorous defense of her in his post re-election press conference:
She made an appearance at the request of the White House in which she gave her best understanding of the intelligence (on Benghazi) that had been provided to her. If Sen. McCain and Sen. Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me – and I'm happy to have that discussion with them.
Some commentators (here, here) have criticized Rice for being too brusque to be the nation's top diplomat. Still others see her as being too much of an Obama loyalist and would prefer a more independent voice at State. I tend to think too much is being made of a single set of performances.
As for these other criticisms, I'm less inclined to think that a colorless diplomat like Warren Christopher is the right kind of person to lead the State Department. In terms of foreign policy inclinations, Rice appears more interventionist than the president himself, so she might actually be a check on voices like Vice President Biden who might be more hesitant to support interventions for humanitarian purposes. That said, I think she should be judged on the basis of her full tenure as UN Ambassador. To that end, I'd be curious what others make of her time there.

Remembrances from Sean Kay's Students
Bill	on 2012-11-25 at 12.11
The GOP wants Kerry to become Sec of State as that frees up his senate seat potentially for Scott Brown (R) who just lost his to Elizabeth Warren (D). This will help strengthen the GOP's senate position in the wake of its poor performance in the election. Ergo discredit Rice as much as possible in order to increase Kerry's chances. Once again, domestic politics trumping effective foreign policy.
Marc Levy	on 2012-11-26 at 08.49
Graham is still on the attack, I believe, so he's not an erstwhile critic (yet). He's added the president to his list, but he hasn't taken Rice off.
Isn't the simplest explanation behind the attack that a) because it focuses enmity on someone so closely connected to the president personally it curries favor with the Tea Party wing in a way that brings little undesired policy baggage, and b) it increases, however modestly, the chance of Kerry's seat going R. If I were a Republican senator I'd certainly be doing the same.
Keys	on 2012-12-25 at 03.35
Ok satisfied? Republicans got frankenstein (J..k.) nominated for Secretary of State. I also think JK was in on this plan with McCain. McCain is his good friend & Graham is McCain's good friend. McCain is a troll with short arms.

There is something awfully nice about reading a book again, with all the half-unconscious memories it brings back.
You who think of us: they lived only in delusion... Know that we the People of the Book, will never die!
It is the form that allows a writer the greatest opportunity to explore human experience...For that reason, reading a novel is potentially a significant act. Because there are so many varieties of human experience, so many kinds of interaction between humans, and so many ways of creating patterns in the novel that can't be created in a short story, a play, a poem or a movie. The novel, simply, offers more opportunities for a reader to understand the world better, including the world of artistic creation. That sounds pretty grand, but I think it's true.
In my contact with people, I find that, as a rule, it is only the little, narrow people who live for themselves, who never read good books, who do not travel, who never open up their souls in a way to permit them to come into contact with other souls? with the great outside world.
Reading is at the threshold of the spiritual life; it can introduce us to it. It does not constitute it ... There are certain cases of spiritual depression in which reading can become a sort of curative discipline ... reintroducing a lazy mind into the life of the Spirit.
Wanting to know absolutely what a story is about, and to be able to say it in a few sentences, is dangerous: it can lead us to wanting to possess a story as we possess a cup... A story can always break into pieces while it sits inside a book on a shelf; and, decades after we have read it even twenty times, it can open us up, by cut or caress, to a new truth.
The moon had been lighted and was hung in a treetop.
What is a sentence. A sentence is left to be alright and therefor (sic) they are barely here. A day is additional with there having been with a condition of remaining all day which it is partly that they like to look about made it for them in reference as they knew that is whenever they met by the arrangement which had been made for them in the mean time. What is a sentence. They need not be having them made by them. in 'Sentences' chapter, p. 175 my edition, How to Write.
I knew that a historian (or a journalist, or anyone telling a story) was forced to choose, out of an infinite number of facts, what to present, what to omit. And that decision inevitably would reflect, whether consciously or not, the interests of the historian.
Talk away. If you bore us, we have books."With this invitation Rickie began to relate his history. The reader who has no book will be obliged to listen to it.

BritainMay 14th 2016 edition
Bagehot
Donald Trump's nightmare
Sadiq Khan's win in London was a victory for enlightened, grown-up indifference
EVENTUALLY, every senior politician in Britain is invited to Buckingham Palace to join the Privy Council, the body that notionally advises the queen. In 2009 Sadiq Khan, then transport minister, was asked on which version of the Bible he wanted to swear his oath. He replied that, as a Muslim, he would like to use a Koran. Buckingham Palace had none, so he brought his own. Afterwards, when the palace tried to return it, he asked: "Can I leave it here for the next person?"
On May 5th Londoners voted to make Mr Khan their mayor. Except for the direct vote for the Portuguese and French presidents, he thus holds the biggest personal mandate in Europe. His landslide over the Conservatives (he took 57% of the vote to 43% for Zac Goldsmith, his posh Tory rival) was a rebuke to hardliners of all sorts. At a stroke it became harder for Islamic State's recruiters to tour public housing estates in Europe and convince young Muslims from immigrant backgrounds that they have no place in the liberal West. The de facto capital of that liberal West had just entrusted its future to a mosque-going, gay-marriage-supporting, proudly Muslim family man with precisely such a hinterland.
His win was also a rebuke to Western nativists like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party. It gave the lie to the nonsense spouted by visitors to Europe who see a woman wearing a niqab and assume the continent is under sharia law. Mr Trump announced on May 10th that Mr Khan would be exempt from his putative entry ban on non-American Muslims, which he then called "just a suggestion". London's mayor rejected the exemption: "This isn't just about me. It's about my friends, my family and everyone who comes from a background similar to mine, anywhere in the world." Within days he had used the guff about "Londonistan" and "Eurabia" to become a global symbol of tolerance and religious pluralism.
Bagehot first crossed paths with Mr Khan almost a decade ago on the south London political scene, and long saw him in terms of the internal politics of the Labour Party: as a typical social democrat who, more ideologically flexible than most, had settled on the party's centre-left at a time when, after a decade of liberal-right dominance under Tony Blair, that was trendy. On the terraced Victorian streets of SW16, Mr Khan was just "Sadiq", the guy from the neighbouring constituency; the machine politician who had made Tooting—a mix of hard-up estates and comfortable suburbs—relatively safe for Labour when a lesser practitioner might have lost it to the Conservatives.
Mr Khan's win on May 5th was truer to the MP-next-door that Bagehot knows than to the cosmopolitan emblem—or hardline Muslim—of global headlines. And therein lies the real hammer-blow to the Trumps and Farages. For the opposite of nativist populism is not hyper-liberalism but a battle for the epithet of "pragmatist". It is a struggle over the sort of voter who simply yawns at grunting caveman obsessions about who is part of the tribe; about who belongs and who does not. The ultimate rebuke to a Trump rally is not the protest outside it but the citizen who strolls past, neither appalled nor enthused, and carries on with his life. Where once, "progressive" meant raising your fist, now it means shrugging your shoulders.
London's election was strikingly normal. The capital is a conventional Labour city and Mr Khan a conventional Labour politician. His win was merely the natural order of things. Mr Goldsmith's hints about his rival's links with reactionary Muslims—which in defter hands might have raised valid questions about Mr Khan's willingness to flex his principles to suit his electorate—looked crass and crazed. They had little effect. More interested in Mr Khan's pledge to let them change buses without paying extra fares, Londoners rolled their eyes, voted Labour and inadvertently made history. To veterans of the capital's politics the most interesting thing was not the election of a Muslim but the signs that Mr Khan did better than Labour usually does among white suburbanites and that Mr Goldsmith (despite his best efforts) benefited from the ongoing structural rise in the non-white Tory vote.
Keep Khan and carry on
According to Sunder Katwala of British Future, a think-tank, Mr Khan's achievement alludes to the "depolarisation" of society. It will be judged on how he uses it. As mayor he has few big policy levers to pull. Talking to Bagehot before the election, he insisted that he wanted to strengthen these. That is encouraging: devolution is to be welcomed. But the greatest impact he could have as mayor would be further to normalise his initial achievement. On that, the signs are as good as they could be: as one generation gives way to the next, and non-white Britons move out of the cities and into the suburbs, ever more British voters use civic factors (social and political behaviour) rather than ethnic ones (family roots and race) to define their national identity.
According to an estimate published by Demos, a think-tank, by 2045 Britain will be as proportionally non-white as the United States. The country has much work to do to prepare itself for this shift. Pockets of segregation must be integrated. In some corners of Britain, Muslims are dangerously cut-off and not like Mr Khan at all. The old, simplistic ideal of multiculturalism must give way to something more sophisticated: integration not just as a local responsibility but a national one that should occupy even the prime minister and his cabinet.
As mayor, Mr Khan has a unique platform, not confined to the city or even Britain, that he should use to promote a pluralistic sort of nationhood, ease tensions between ethnic and religious groups and highlight failures and successes of integration. Donald Trump will probably lose to Hillary Clinton. But his final defeat, in Britain at least, will come when Mr Khan's copy of the Koran in Buckingham Palace is well-thumbed—and no one cares.

Drawing from Experience, Thagard Aids New Transfer Students
Transfer Student Organization (TSO). TSO student leaders Hayley Thagard (left) and Ersh Muhammad stand in front of the University seal outside Marian Hall.
After Hayley Thagard graduated in 2015 from high school in Sabetha, Kansas, a small town near the Nebraska border, she was not ready to choose a career, or even a major. Community college made sense as a lower-cost, lower-risk choice to continue her education while she decided what she wanted to pursue.
But after taking an intro to social work course and attending a visit from faculty members in the Avila University Department of Social Work, she knew the next steps.
"I went to community college because I wasn't sure what I wanted and they had a lot of programs to choose from," Thagard said. "Community college also made sense because it was a less expensive way to continue my education while I figured out what it was I wanted to do.
"I'm glad I went to community college, but being at Avila has been a big step up for me in terms of my education. Smaller class sizes has probably been my favorite thing because I've been able to get to know people. Having a group of people in the social work program that I have several classes with has been helpful too."
"I'm glad I went to community college, but being at Avila has been a big step up for me in terms of my education."
Hayley Thagard
Thagard has flourished in the classroom and is currently completing an internship at The Groves, an assisted living facility in Independence, Missouri. After she graduates this May, she said she hopes to achieve her master's degree in health care administration so as to continue to work with seniors.
"I have a love for the seniors that live in the home I've been interning at and I would like to continue working in either a nursing home or hospital," Thagard said. "After speaking with my professors and some of the social workers that work in assisted living, it became clear that an advanced degree will allow me to follow my passion. And it will probably help me make a little more money too."
Thagard's passion for geriatric care has already made a huge impact in the lives of her patients, according to her advisor, Lindee Petersen Wilson, MSW, LSCSW, assistant professor of Social Work and Director of Field Education.
"Hayley's patience and caring heart make her a natural fit for working with geriatric populations," Wilson said. "Her field instructor let me know that Hayley is very well-liked by her patients and their families. It isn't always the easiest environment to work in, but Hayley's comfort in being a patient listener plus her hard work has made it a bit easier."
In addition to her coursework, Thagard became very involved with several organizations since she began at Avila in 2018. Stating that she got "super involved when (she) got to Avila because (I) wanted to do something," she credits that instinct with making her feel at home almost instantly.
"I actually feel like I've been here longer than just the three semesters," she said. "The students that I've worked with that were more traditional students were completely welcoming and helpful letting me know things about life on campus that I might not have known otherwise. Now I have friends who are freshmen that I'm helping guide through some of the first steps of being an undergraduate student at Avila."
With graduation approaching rapidly, Thagard makes time to volunteer with the Avila A-Team to promote student-led social, cultural, recreational and education events and activities and is heavily involved with the development of the Transfer Student Organization (TSO), a new organization on campus designed to welcome and familiarize students transferring into Avila from other institutions.
"People don't believe it now because I'm more outgoing, but when I started at Avila, not knowing anyone, I was very shy," she said. "On top of that, not knowing what organizations and resources were available to me was a challenge as well. I knew I wanted to be involved, I just didn't know what I wanted to do. It was on me to find the people who could answer my questions.
"By introducing TSO-run events during welcome week and throughout the year, we're hoping to greet new transfers and get them acclimated as quickly as possible. Social events and activities geared to students new to Avila who are looking to meet other like-minded people will help them feel at home and comfortable, like I was when I started here."

Straight away uphill. A shot to center of fairway will open up the whole green. Green slopes left to right. Again- a shot to the center of the green is preferred.Local Rules: Balls lost in wooded areas…determine your ball's point of entry, drop another ball within two club lengths of entry point and continue play, one (1) stroke penalty.
Downhill. Green slopes left to right. A 9 iron is usually the right club. Local Rules: Wetlands in front of tee box is a water hazard. Natural wetlands right of green should be played as a lateral water hazard.
Straight away. Premium is on tee shot. A layup shot to 100 yards is the way to play this hole. Pin location will determine club selection. You may use anything from a pitching wedge to an 8 iron depending on hole location. Local Rules: Creek left of fairway is a lateral water hazard. Wooded area to the right and area right of rough is a lateral hazard.
Straight away. This is the #1 (389 yards) handicap hole. Fairway slopes from right to left. Location in center to left center of fairway is ideal. Green has several undulations and second shot requires solid preparation. A "4" is a great score here. Local Rules: Creek left of fairway is a lateral water hazard.
Uphill straight away. Plays longer than the card. Fairway bunkers give you no option to get to the green, so swing at your tee shot!!! 3 tier green can be a challenge to a misplaced approach shot. Again par is a good score. Local Rules: Out of bounds right (brush before ditch). Wetlands left of the fairway and the green is a lateral water hazard.

CONCERT COVERAGE: RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS W/ TROMBONE SHORTY & JACK IRONS | AIR CANADA CENTRE
By gerrod2015 February 5, 2017 February 7, 2017
Leave a Comment on CONCERT COVERAGE: RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS W/ TROMBONE SHORTY & JACK IRONS | AIR CANADA CENTRE
Words By: Gerrod Harris
On Saturday, February 4th, the one and only Red Hot Chili Peppers brought their The Getaway tour to Toronto's Air Canada Center, along with supporting acts Jack Irons and Trombone Shorty.
Taking the stage first, with only a drum set and some play along tracks was original Chili Pepper drummer, Jack Irons. Irons took his place behind the kit as, none other than, Flea graced the few people in the audience with an introduction speech, explaining his love and admiration for Irons. As he started drumming, he was joined by some out there, space age synths as he played the drums in a very musical way. Each song got bigger and bigger; starting with a basic groove until in the final two numbers he was just tearing it up. His short set was a nice reminder as to how great a drummer Irons is.
Not much longer after, Trombone Shorty took the stage and provided a spectacular set of old school funk- in line with a tradition invented by James Brown and then reinvented by George Clinton– with rock 'n' roll flair. Shorty proved to be as excellent of a vocalist, sporting a very dynamic range, as he is on both the trombone and the trumpet. Taking solos on both instruments, his sense of rhythm and talent on the horns (along with a jaw dropping lung capacity) puts him in a virtuoso category. His band, made up of a drummer, guitarist, bassist, and two saxophonists, are incredibly tight and embrace a spirit of improvisation as many members soloed over the forms of the song, tying the band to not only funk, but also to the rich history of jazz from New Orleans. On top of that, they also did a fantastic cover of Lenny Kravitz' "Sistamomalover". All in all, Trombone Shorty, for an opener, proved to have a quality of a headliner and certainly won over much of the filling up ACC.
Flea, Chad Smith, and Josh Klinghoffer walked onto stage and kicked the show off with a slow jam, which evolved into nothing short of a head banger by the time Anthony Kiedis joined them. As many assumed they would start with "Can't Stop", as they nearly always do, the Chili Peppers dove headfirst into "Around The World", the heavy opener from 1999's Californication. Not only was this a nice surprise, but the song, in my opinion, is among one of their best songs to open a show. As the set continued on, the band favoured Californication, preforming five tracks off the album ("Otherside", "Right On Time", "Emit Remmus", and "I Like Dirt"); however, this was by no means a performance running on nostalgia as they also performed five songs off of last year's The Getaway, including the singles, "Dark Necessities", "Go Robot", and "Sick Love", along with "The Getaway" and "Goodbye Angels".
The band proved to be in excellent condition. Kiedis has never sounded better or more confident with his vocals and is still one of the most entertaining front man to watch live. More notably, however, was how much more cohesive the band has gotten since I saw them on their last Toronto stop on the I'm With You tour when Klinghoffer was much more new to the band. The instrumental jams in between songs have gotten much tighter, organic, and fluid as they build and decrescendo naturally. At times they teased "YYZ" by Rush and even jammed on the Led Zeppelin classic, "Rock And Roll" for a minute. The jams were often rooted in a modern funk and showcased the band's ability to play some of the dirtiest grooves you'll hear at a rock concert. What made the jams even better was how the band appeared to be so deep in their own zone, that as an audience member, it felt as if I was sitting in the studio watching them noodle. There was a level of intimacy beneath the incredible musicianship, something which is very difficult to convey at a sold out stadium show.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers put on a show that was nothing short of incredible. There is a reason, after all, that they have managed to survive the shifting landscape of the music industry into today's modern world, and I believe much of that rests on their live performance. From show to show, they frequently switch up the set list, some shows take more songs from Blood Sugar Sex Magik, others more from By The Way, and this one happened to dig into the deep tracks of Californication, but they often include a few surprises and rarities. At this show, this took the form of "Soul To Squeeze", a track originally cut from BSSM but later surfaced on Greatest Hits and is a song which hardly makes a live appearance, but when it does, it leaves an impact as it did last night with what sounded to be the entire ACC singing along to the chorus. Chili Pepper fans are quite the unique crowd, perhaps one of the most diverse groups I have seen. One thing that ties them together is their love for the band and the flow of energy between them at a show. I have never seen so many people dancing at a concert, from the very first notes of the intro jam; it seemed everyone was immediately into it- and what is life if not the transference of energy? From the band to the audience and from the audience back to the band, the ACC was bouncing, and I certainly left feeling what I can only describe as so alive. It was thrilling to see their new tracks filled with the same energy which they devote to classics of the likes of "By The Way" and the explosive closing track, "Give It Away". Over all, I was amazed by their musicianship while also their ability to create a concert experience that is overflowing with passion. The Red Hot Chili Peppers love what they do and they are masters of their craft. It is only the start of February, and I am confident that I saw the best concert of 2017!

It is a common tradition worldwide to name an airport after a local hero. Sometimes, those local heroes are aviation fans or aviators themselves. Here's a list of our top five airports named after aviators or people who loved aviation.
There is a bit of aviation history behind the naming of the largest airport in Greece which serves the capital of Athens. Eleftherios Venizelos was a politician from Crete who rose up against the Ottoman Empire and then ended up as the Prime Minister of Greece. Venizelos founded the Ministry of Aviation, and he was the first to organize the political aviation in Greece. The airport opened in 2001, replacing the 60-year-old national airport called Elliniko.
Chicago O'Hare airport bears the name of Edward O'Hare, a wartime aviator. O'Hare was the first to become a Navy flying ace. He was awarded the Medal of Honor in World War II when he shot down a bomber approaching an aircraft carrier. His aircraft was lost but his city wanted to remember him in a special way. In 1949, Orchard Depot Airport was named Chicago O'Hare International Airport. At the airport, you can find a replica of O'Hare's Grumman F4F-3 on display.
The Lambert-St. Louis International Airport stands thanks to Albert Bond Lambert, a former major in the U.S. Army. He earned his pilot's license in 1911 after he learned to fly with the Wright Brothers. The airport is named after Lambert in honor of the work he did to assist in making St. Louis a major player in the aerospace industry.
Wisconsin's Milwaukee airport was named after Brigadier General William "Billy" Mitchell. He was an accomplished, outspoken and controversial pioneer in American military aviation. A model of Mitchell's his DH-4 Osprey aircraft is on display in the Mitchell Gallery of Flight, the airport's free, on-site museum.
If you ever fly to California's beautiful wine country you'll see that Snoopy flies again! The Charles M. Schulz, Sonoma County Airport is named after the one of the most influential cartoonists of all time. The World War I Flying Ace is one of the many fantasy identities that his creation Snoopy adopted during the fifty year run of the Peanuts comic strip. The airport is located in Santa Rosa, California and is perfect for scheduling private jet charter flights.

Bingham High sophomore Tallon Shira already is looking forward to the end of next school year when he plans to show a second time the '47 Coupe he owns with his grandfather, Rick Shira.
The two began about five years ago, when his grandfather saw two cars available — one that they could use for parts for the one they rebuilt.
Tallon was showcasing the car in his first car show, Bingham's 23rd annual car show, which featured about 100 import and American-made cars, trucks, motorcycles, Jeeps and other vehicles.
Bingham students look forward to several year-end traditions such as the car show and the school's 43rd annual art show.
The car show involves students getting approval from career and technical education teacher Travis Lucero to showcase anything from a customized Bentley to a GMC suburban.
Students who show the cars pay $10, which includes their space in the back of the school on the show date, a lunch and a T-shirt. This year, seniors Justin Thomas and Eternity Stovall designed the shirts.
Sophomore Keaton Dearing was showing his two-toned, 7.3-liter diesel truck, with an extended bed sleeper and a tow transmission with two tanks.
Senior Brandon Lopez was showing an Audi TT '08, his first time in the car show. His dad purchased the car with wingbacks and air suspension in Chicago.
Not only do the Miners look forward to the car show, but they also celebrate their classmates' success in art with the annual art show.
The talents don't just include calligraphy, drawing, painting, ceramics and traditional arts, but it also includes students in the welding and collision classes, as students display panels they've welded and painted.
"I'd like to extend the show to include students who work with fabric as well," Bird said, adding that the show typically has 300 pieces on display.
Students, whose work is juried by outside-the-school judges, are awarded ribbons for the top awards, including a best of show rosette ribbon.
Pieces often are purchased for the school's permanent collection, Bird said.

Massive, emotive and superlative – the project was to create a trade fair concept for the energy experts Uniper at E-world 2017. In short, it was about squaring the circle. Because what initially sounded comfortably routine proved to be an exciting challenge.
How do you create a stand with massive five-metre walls, but still make it open and inviting? How do you position the company as a whole when clearly distinct product and discussion areas are required? How do you transpose puristic corporate design to eye-catching architecture?
These are questions that Service Factory was able to answer flawlessly. Something which was recognised twice over, incidentally: not only did the agency beat three others in the pitch – it was also immediately contracted for the following year too.
Will the next stand likewise weigh 100 tonnes in order to stabilise the walls? Will it likewise be topped off with a spectacular light sculpture? Our lips remain sealed. But one thing that's certain to make a reappearance is delighted event visitors and happy customers. Because one thing above all was spot on: the energy.

HomeBusinessFed Watch: What If the Analogy is Wrong?
Fed Watch: What If the Analogy is Wrong?
December 15, 2008 Mark Thoma
Tim Duy is worried that "the Fed the Fed and Treasury are setting the stage for a disorderly adjustment of the Dollar":
By Tim Duy · December 15, 2008: I say this with no exaggeration: The picture painted by the data flow of the past two weeks is deep into the left tail of any of my reasonable distribution of probable economic outcomes. The die is now cast – fiscal stimulus will be too late to prevent the snowballing that will occur throughout the first half of next year. In this environment, policymaking will become increasingly desperate.
The free fall in economic activity reported by the ISM in both the manufacturing and nonmanufacturing sectors yielded the worst for the labor market. There is no way to candy coat the November employment report. It was simply dismal; downward revisions to the previous month boosted the sense of dread that emanated from the BLS release. And the damage to labor markets appears to be accelerating, with the rise in initial jobless claims last week pointing toward a December job loss of 600k or more. Expectations of rising headline unemployment rates can be tempered only by defections from the labor force; I would not be surprised to see the broad U-6 measure of unemployment coast through 15% before the first quarter is over.
With the labor market in disarray, the Fed will feel compelled to do more, as only they can deliver stimulus in the near term. The FOMC begins a two day meeting tomorrow, with a further 50bp of rate cutting almost certain. Also almost certain is that no one believes that the last 100bp has much stimulative power to offer. The rate cut itself, thus, is largely irrelevant. What is relevant is the statement – will the Fed more explicitly define their apparent policy of quantitative easing? Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's recent speech set up expectations that such a shift was coming. Failure to follow through would be yet another communication failure.
I am torn on the wisdom of this move. On one hand, using the Great Depression as a guide, the appropriate policy direction appears clear – flood the markets with liquidity, coupled with massive fiscal stimulus. This is the track the policy train is on. I completely understand this policy in a closed economy suffering from insufficient demand relative to supply. But when faced with a large open economy with a substantial current account deficit, the back of my mind screams "caution." It is an itch I can't scratch.
In my view, policymakers tend to see the current account deficit as almost an unimportant residual, something that just falls out of the global economy, but tells you little about the economy itself. I tend to view it as representing a fundamental imbalance. I believed that as part of the adjustment of the past year, a combination of import compression and export expansion would eliminate the imbalance, and that the appropriate role of policy was to facilitate and cushion that imbalance.
In nominal terms, high oil prices in the first half of the year stalled that adjustment and forced an intensification of import compression by undermining consumer spending. This triggered a more intense adjustment than I would prefer (obviously), but I could see that the expected improvement of the current account deficit would provide room for aggressive policy response. This was especially the case given collapsing oil prices. And if domestic saving rose enough as households and firms restrained spending, the federal government could have a very significant gap to fill.
But then a funny thing happened…global trade appears to be collapsing, undermining US exports and leaving the nominal current account deficit stable, meaning that the US still remains very dependent on capital inflows. Brad Setser scared me straight last week on this topic:
The US trade data surprised on the downside — and while it is far too soon for the dollar's recent rise to really have an impact on the trade data, the rise in the deficit perhaps did remind the market that over time a rising dollar would tend to maintain the still large trade deficit not bring it down. Macro man was far more surprised by the rise in the non-oil deficit than I was; it was always going to be race down between imports and exports.
Simply a race down, or a race to the bottom? My challenge is that lacking an adjustment of the external imbalance, I can easily see that the current policy path becomes a dead end. Emphasis on "dead." Yves Smith lays out an alternative scenario that reminded me of old concerns:
Now to my doubts about the proposed remedies, namely monster stimulus and monetary easing. First, as mentioned before, the analogy is to the US in the Depression, which we have said repeatedly before is questionable. The US in the 1920s was the world's biggest creditor, exporter, and manufacturer. Our position then is analogous to China's now. Indeed, Keynes in the 1930s urged America to take even more aggressive measures, and argued that it was not reasonable for the US to expect over-consuming, debt-burdened countries like the UK and France to take up the demand slack. So even though most economists are invoking Keynes, it isn't clear he's prescribe such aggressive stimulus for the US and UK now.
If Yves is correct, the coming massive US policy response is a desperate attempt to maintain a global economic structure that is fundamentally broken. This is a story I have long championed, but, in recent months, one I was willing to discount given my expectations of an improvement in the current account. Indeed, this seemed consistent with the strengthening of the Dollar. But recent trade data suggests I may have become too complacent with regards to the external dynamic.
The threat, of course, is that the Fed the Fed and Treasury are setting the stage for a disorderly adjustment of the Dollar by ignoring the imbalance. Without the external adjustment in place, pushing rates to zero, flooding the economy with money, and pumping out hundreds of billions of new debt threatens to all pull the rug out from under the Dollar. Even more worrisome, however, is that surplus nations respond with competitive depreciations as they also seek to maintain the fundamental imbalance. We all race to the bottom together.
The recent stability of the US Dollar has almost certainly put to rest any worries on the part of policymakers. But it is looking like the Dollar has peaked. From Bloomberg:
Speculation that the dollar has peaked gained steam last week as the currency plunged 4.9 percent against the euro to $1.3369, its biggest drop since Europe's common currency was created in 1999. It weakened 1.75 percent versus the yen.
"We're at a turning point in terms of dollar dynamics," said Jens Nordvig, a New York-based strategist at Goldman Sachs, the biggest U.S. securities firm to convert to a bank. "The dollar shortage has been addressed and we'll see people start to focus on other things and those are all dollar negative."
With delivering induced flight to quality largely complete, the stage is set for underlying factors to come into play. And those factors do not appear to be supportive of Dollar denominated assets. One would think that near zero rates would stem the allure of the Dollar (one would also think that domestic savers rethink keeping their money anywhere but a safe deposit box). Indeed, that appears to be the case versus the Yen.
But to be a real Dollar rout, we would expect to see Treasuries come under severe pressure, which has not exactly been a recent trend. So perhaps there really is nothing to fear. Indeed, I have argued that that if the stimulus is too excessive, that excess should reveal itself in the Treasury market, and policymakers can simply back off. No problem – ease away. Build those bridges.
This assumes that policymakers back off. What if rising Treasury rates encourage the Fed to double down, expanding quantitative easing to hold rates low and stimulative. What if years of research on the Great Depression have left even the best and the brightest with tunnel vision such that they could not accept that they were wrong?
Bottom Line: The Fed is headed to the zero mark, with another 50bp almost certain this week. It is widely expected that they will give some guidance as to their next steps, pointing us in the direction of an explicit policy of quantitative easing. Fed policy, as well as fiscal policy, assumes that the Great Depression is the most accurate analogy. This assumption ignores the external position of the US, which stubbornly refuses to adjust. If that failure to adjust is relevant, then recent Dollar stability was simply a head-fake. We should see pressure on the Dollar and, ultimately, Treasuries. Policymakers could adjust, but would they? With pursuit of the Great Depression case as the baseline scenario, it seems prudent to keep in mind the risk that this is not the relevant analogy for the US, and that policymakers are not prepared to accept such a possibility.
