It was so dark on Hwy. 27, you had to slow down just to be sure you didn't hit any animal fleeing a wildfire to the west.
Kiff Woolnough was driving home to Vanderhoof from Fort St. James on Tuesday afternoon.
When he left Fort St. James, the skies had actually cleared. After days of smoky haze, the sky was blue.
After finishing up work for the day just before 4 p.m. he was driving south when the skies started to fill again with smoke.
A black, thick smoke, blown east from the massive Shovel Lake fire, burning about 30 kilometres away.
About halfway between the two communities, the smoke got so thick, Woolnough said it was darker than midnight.
The Shovel Lake fire is about 510 square kilometres in size.
Southwest of where Woolnough shot his images, a resident of Fort Fraser shared their own chilling image, featuring the orange glow of the fire far in the distance.
Marg Drysdale from the B.C. Wildfire Service's Northwest Fire Centre said the time that Woolnough was driving is actually the window where wildfires tend to be most active.
"Fires tend to be most active between 4 and 7," she said, because of how things dry out over the day. The way the wind works. How weather patterns move.
Woolnough said the people he knows in Fort St. James are "a little on edge." The woman he and his Northern Homecraft co-workers — he's a carpenter — have been contracted by has been keeping them up to date on the fire situation. The town's 1,600 residents have been on evacuation alert since Saturday.
Drysdale said the fire is moving from west to east, as the prevailing winds usually drive wildfires in the region. There are 125 firefighters and 52 pieces of heavy equipment working on the fire. The focus has been to establish guards along the southern flank of the fire. People living in the area to the north of Fraser Lake are also on evacuation alert as well.
The Shovel Lake fire is being managed as part of the broader Babine fire complex and a new incident management team from the Prince George Fire Centrewould be taking over for the eastern part of the fire this week, to allow the fire crews working to the south and the west to focus in on their specific areas.
Smoke and ash highly visible in the #Vanderhoof and #CityofPG areas due to drifting smoke from the fires out west. Currently there are no active fires in close proximity to Vanderhoof and Prince George. Smoke may be present for the next few days.
Woolnough moved to Vanderhoof as a child in 1995 and said that fires have become much more common.
His wife's family owns a ranch nearby, and last year a fire got with 100 feet of the property, he said. This year another fire is threatening.

Dad bought gun that teen used to kill 3, wound 8 at at Michigan school, just last week
By MIKE HOUSEHOLDER and RYAN KRYSKA Associated Press
Nov 30, 2021 Updated Jan 7, 2022
The 9mm Sig Sauer used to kill 3 people and wound eight others at a Michigan high was bought by the 15-year-old suspect's dad on Nov. 26, authorities say.
The 15-year-old sophomore opened fire at his Michigan high school on Tuesday, killing three students and wounding eight other people, including one teacher, authorities said.
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said late Tuesday that investigators were still trying to determine a motive for the shooting at Oxford High School in Oxford Township, a community of about 22,000 people roughly 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of Detroit.
"The person's got the most insight is not talking," Bouchard said at a news conference.
Bouchard said he did not know why the father bought the gun. Bouchard said the suspect had practiced shooting with the gun and posted pictures of it and the target.
Bouchard said several students injured in the shooting remain in critical condition, including 14-year-old on ventilator.

Elections On My Plate
Congress will remain a C team player
Feb 03, 2017 /
Five years is an eternity in Indian politics. As Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav beamed beatifically into the cameras last weekend, the mind was thrown back to 2012 when just ahead of the Uttar Pradesh elections, Gandhi had delivered a solo performance, stressing that the Congress was in UP for the long haul, and would fight the region-based caste parties like the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party. "The Congress doesn't look at a single election, we have a 10 year plan," he had boldly claimed then.
More to Manipur than Mary Kom
'Non-locals must not own businesses': the Sunday headlines in one of Imphal's prominent newspapers aren't a pretty sight. Much like the Kashmir valley, the Imphal valley is also best described as 'tortured beauty': surrounded by verdant hills and a rich history, but wrestling with dark demons within. It's a land which has produced great writers, artists, sportspersons, film-makers, but one where an entire generation is being pushed into an abyss of hopelessness.

The student news site of Faith Lutheran Middle School in Las Vegas, Nevada
October 20Tune in for all new story updates!
Dr. Knorr, the Social Norms Guy
McKenzie Carmichael, Staff Writer
"I know that if I'm just serious, kids aren't going to watch them," said Dr. Karl Knorr. As students know,
Dr. Knorr makes videos about social norms and sends them out to the whole school. He talks about good
and bad decisions as well as how many people do each. The question is, does he really get the point across?
"I think his videos are funny to watch, but I really don't think that he is getting the
point across," said seventh grader Daniel Adolfo.
His videos will definitely give you a laugh, but that's what everybody pays
attention to. Many students do not listen to the actual message that Dr. Knorr is trying
to give. Only a few students will actually listen to the message and not pay attention to
the laughter that the videos bring. If he made his videos more serious, students might pay attention to the
message. Even though it may be boring, it would get the point across more than it does when he isn't
serious.
"I definitely think that Dr. Knorr should've used a different approach if he really
wanted the students to pay attention to the message he is trying to give," said Adolfo.
Many Faith Students talk about Dr. Knorr's videos, but sometimes not
in a good way. Many students think that Dr. K is making a fool out of himself, but many
others think that he has a lot of courage to send those videos to the entire middle school.
"I just wanted to try to do a serious message with some fun", said Dr. Knorr.
Have you ever seen any of the posters up around school for the Social Norms
group? Those group of kids, and those posters are up all around school and in the
classrooms are to support Dr. Knorr's videos. All of the kids on the posters are apart of
the Social Norms group. The Social Norms group will sometimes perform with Dr. K
and sing along with him with all of his songs. For example, if you went to go see Middle
School Lip Sync, you would have seen the Social Norms group and him perform.
In conclusion, Dr. Knorr's videos are a very good lesson to all of the Faith Middle
School and High School students. Dr. K is very clever coming up with the way he makes
his videos. It may not be the best way, but it is definitely still getting the point across.

Looking for an incredibly rewarding activity? How about learning to identify new plants and mushrooms?
Here's how I see it: The more plants and mushrooms we can identify, the happier we are!
Now I don't know of any good studies to support my claim, though it's been my personal experience that a deep satisfaction can be experienced when identifying wild plants and mushrooms.
And honestly, the real reason probably lies much deeper than simple taxonomy. Naming is only the beginning of a long process that guides the curious naturalist along the timeless journey of understanding, connection, and fulfillment.
I recently spent some time in the winter woods identifying various plants and fungi, and while I was at it I thought I'd film a brief video on ways you can improve your plant and mushroom identification skills.
These strategies aren't widely discussed, though they're ones that have worked really well for me over the past few years… and I'll bet they'll work for you too!
If you're interested in learning more plants and mushrooms (and birds, snakes, reptiles, slime molds, etc.) this year, check out the video!

Essays Database Essays Theme of Love in The Merchant of Venice Essay
Theme of Love in The Merchant of Venice Essay
In this essay I will show how the themes of love, marriage, friendship and money and how they overlap in the Merchant of Venice. In this play, the main theme is money and this theme is portrayed throughout the Merchant of Venice, being presented in many different ways. Prejudice is also a large theme used, which is tied in with the theme of money. Shylock and Antonio and their bond of a pound of flesh. Shakespeare wanted to show that money cant buy you love. Money contributes largely in the merchant of Venice and it is the main theme shown.
Firstly we see Bassanio who needs to borrow a sum of money from Antonio his friend, and although Antonio is wealthy, he is not happy as he says to Bassanio that he does not know why he is 'So sad'. Suggesting that his wealth does not make him entirely contented. However, Shylock seems to show that maybe money is every thing, Shylock is only interested in money and the creation of money.
As we see later in the play, that Shylock's loss of ducats is more significant than the disappearance of his daughter, 'My daughter! ' 'O my ducats! Shylock refers to his ducats more than his daughter he also says 'I would my daughter were dead at my foot' This shows the cruel side of Shylock. Shylock's love for money is great, although revenge is sweeter. As we see when Shylock is determined to see Antonio die, he refuses to receive three times the amount that is owed to spare Antonio's life. Shylock is seen as evil through his pursuit of the pound of flesh, and he tries to show his humanity, 'Hath not a Jew eyes' 'If you prick us do we not bleed' In order to excuse his behavior.
We will write a custom essay on Theme of Love in The Merchant of Venice specifically for you
Portia is a young beautiful heiress, her father sets up a casket system to make sure that Portia is married to some one that loves her and not just for her wealth. Portia is unhappy with the situation she is in when she says 'I may neither choose whom I would, nor refuse who I dislike' this reveals that she is unhappy with the arrangement of the three caskets. Bassanio acknowledges that he has been living above his income, and Antonio always bails him out. Secondly we see the theme of love Portia is a wealthy heiress and many men want to marry her for her money.
There is one suitor who picks the gold casket, believing that beauty is on the out side the men think that the lead casket cannot be the right one as it is so unattractive. 'Twere damnation to think so base a thought' this shows that the prince of Morocco believes that the leaden casket is unworthy and Portia cannot be contrasted to that. Lorenzo and Jessica represent forbidden love, as their religions do not allow them to love each other. Jessica a Jew should have nothing to do with Lorenzo a Christian.
They see past their religions and Jessica will become a Christian so that she can be with Lorenzo 'If thou keep promise I shall end this strife, become a Christian and thy loving wife'. This shows the stereotypical view that different races cannot mix and how Jessica is ashamed to be her father's child Shylock's relationship with Jessica is that Shylock shows that he cares more about his money than he does this daughter, 'Look to my house' … 'For I did dream of money bags tonight'. Showing how Shylock is worried for his belongings, as he fears that there will be bad luck.
Bassanio picks the right casket; he chooses the unassuming leaden casket. 'And here choose I'… 'Joy be the consequence! ' Portia is not worried that Bassanio does not have as much money as she does and so she believes that love is more important than money. Nerissa and Gratiano are to in love. Friendship is another strong theme in the Merchant of Venice. Bassanio and Antonio are very good friends as he lends money to Bassanio when he needs help. Although Bassanio has more than once borrowed money from Antonio, Antonio is still willing to help his friend in any possible way that he can.

To you Antonio' he confessed 'I owe the most in money and in love… ' My purse, my person' Antonio says. Showing that he is more than happy to help his friend and Bassanio knows that he will not have to ask twice. Antonio shows that he is a true loyal friend when he is prepared to sacrifice his own life in exchange for his friend's happiness. Bassanio is worried for his friend and is uncomfortable about the deal. 'You shall not seal to such a bond for me, 'I'd rather dwell in my necessity. '
Salerio and Salanio are to good friends of Antonio's and show that they are worried for Antonio's welfare. I would have stayed until I had made you merry' Salerio is prepared to stay to help his friend. Portia and Nerissa show qualities of friend ship, as they are close friends. Nerissa and Portia will have a joined marriage this shows that they are willing to share their personal lives with each other. Nerissa is a reliable friend and supports for Portia when the suitors come to try and defeat the three caskets and receive Portias hand. 'By my troth, Nerissa,' she confided to her maid 'My little body is aweary of this great world'. Here Portia is showing Nerissa that she trusts her and is able to confide in her.
Portia shows friendship to when she is prepared to help out with re-paying the money owed to try to save Antonio 's life. So in conclusion friendship in the Merchant of Venice is shown and proved throughout with the trust and loyalty that Antonio and Bassanio share. This shows how two friends are willing to help each other and stand by each other whenever they can. Antonio shows the greatest respect and self-sacrifice towards his friend, Bassanio, when he shows that he is prepared to sacrifice his own life in order to make Bassanio's dreams happen. 'My extremest means lie all unlocked to your occasions'.
Showing how everything Antonio has is available to meet the needs of his great friend Bassanio. Also friend ship is a very strong theme used as it shows how much we are willing to do for our friends and how loyal we can be. In addition to the themes is marriage, if it wasn't for Antonio's loyalty to his friend Bassanio, then he and Portia would not be getting married. The caskets ensure that Portia will get a man who will love her for who she is and not her wealth. It is ironic that every other suitor does not choose the least likely leaden casket, and Bassanio does.
This has a fairytale idea to it as Portia and Bassanio are really in love from the beginning as Portia shows she wants Bassanio to choose carefully 'I pray you tarry, pause a day or two before you hazard for choosing wrong I loose your company. ' Portia wants to delay Bassanio, as she does not want him to pick the wrong casket and thus loose her hand in marriage. The other suitors are portrayed as being arrogant and they believe that beauty is on the outside, and that what the person is truly like does not matter.
Bassanio sees that beauty and wealth are less important than what is on the inside of a person, nd this is how Bassanio wins Portias hand in marriage. We can see through out the play that in most cases money, religion and social class do not matter when you are truly in love. As we see Jessica and Lorenzo in love, Portia and Bassanio are in love it does not matter to Portia that Bassanio is in a lower social class to her. At the end of the play the two rings that are give to Bassanio and Gratanio. The point of this is to show how easy Bassanio will give up the ring after he has promised that he will never part with it.
READ: The journey of the colonizer from the siege to the flight Essay
'But when this ring parts from this finger, then parts life from hence: O then be bold to say Bassanio's dead. Bassanio says that the only time when the ring will be removed is when he is dead. This also shows the friendship coming in with love and marriage. As Bassanio is persuaded to give up his ring even though he loves Portia so much, he does it for his friend Antonio, who helped him pervasively. So I think that the rings are used to show all of the themes in one situation and how they are each portrayed and how they overlap. Nerissa and Gratanio are too in love and will get married at a double wedding this to shows marriage and friendship overlapping.
Lastly there are the stereotypes; Jews during the 1290 were banned from England if they practised their own religion. Throughout the centuries Jews have suffered for there religion and Shylock to is taunted for his religion . In Shakespeare's day the audience would have found Shylock hard to deal with as Shylock is a Jew and in Elizabethan times he would have been largely disliked. Shylock is called a 'Misbeliever' he says that Antonio 'Spits on my Jewish gabardine'. Shylock is shown as an uncaring, money orientated Jew. He is shown to care more about his ducats than his daughter.
Antonio calls Shylock a 'Dog' and Antonio replies that he would do so again. 'I am as like to call thee so again, To spit on thee again, to spurn thee too'. Here we see Antonio's hatred towards Shylock because he is a money lending Jew, who also charges interest and plays off of other peoples, misery. Women are below men and are told and expected to do what they are told, in most cases they did not have a say in whom they would marry. An example of this is shown by Portia having to marry the man who picks the correct casket, even if she does not like him.
I may neither choose whom I would, nor refuse whom I dislike'. Obedience is expected from the men being a wife or daughter. Although Jessica defies her father Shylock and runs away with a Christian and Shylocks money. So it is funny to see when Portia and Nerissa disguise as men to trick their husbands here they are undermining their husbands and making a joke out of them. 'We'll see our husbands before they think of us'. So In conclusion to how the themes overlap in the Merchant of Venice, I have shown that every theme is tied in with one another.
Seen that Shakespeare's point of the play in my opinion that money cant buy you love is very true and is shown through out the play: Bassanio and Portia who finds true love, which, is not based on wealth. Now having completed this essay I think that there are two main theme's money and friendship. These themes are constantly shown through out the play. I think that the play is successful as it has different aspects to it love, revenge, betrayal and of course the bond of a pound of flesh. The play has every thing you need to make a good story line and I think that's why it is a success.

The Principal Characters in the Merchant of Venice are Motivated Mainly by Money Essay 1292 Words | 5 Pages
On the whole I feel that this is a fairly accurate description of the play's characters, with the mercantile Venice and Belmont (which trades in a different commodity but is trade none the less) mirroring their inhabitants. However to say that money was their only reason would be missing vital elements of the play. The most obviously money orientated character is Shylock. His main priority seems to be his money over everything else including his only family: his daughter Jessica, which can be shown by his reported action on her elopement "My ducats and my daughter!

Although Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice is considered a comedy, cruelty runs rampant throughout the entire text of the play. Most of the characters exhibit some form of cruel behavior toward one another, including Lancelot who is cruel to his father Gobbio when he runs into him on the street.

Topic: Theme of Love in The Merchant of Venice Essay
In this essay I will show how the themes of love, marriage, friendship and money and how they overlap in the Merchant of Venice. In this play, the main theme is money and this theme is portrayed throughout the Merchant of Venice, being presented in many different ways. Prejudice is also a large theme used, which is tied in with the theme of money. Shylock and Antonio and their bond of a pound of flesh. Shakespeare wanted to show that money cant buy you love. Money contributes largely in the merc


I propose allowing tax payers to allocate how their tax dollars are spent by designating sectors of the government like military, education, transportation, etcetera on their tax forms. This could be gradually phased in to avoid causing havoc. To test the proposal, control of only a small fraction of the budget would be initially given to the public.
I think this would appeal to people across the political spectrum as it would allow people to withhold their tax dollars from government functions they do not want to support and vote for their beliefs in a more direct way. I think we would all like to have more control over our government. Pork barrel spending and partisan games have become so prevalent in the US that I doubt government representatives are arriving at a budget that is superior to one that could be achieved by direct democracy.
1. Would this work? What could go wrong?
2. Would people really be willing to get behind a proposal like this? Would you?
Do you mean you have to pick specific ones or can you say "use it however" because in the second case most of the time it probably wouldn't change much (you basically only have to change your normal budget if the amount bookmarked only for a specific rubric is larger than you intended to spend on that rubric otherwise you just first distribute the limited ones and then get your desired distribution by using the unlimited ones).
But what can go wrong? You are expecting people who have no real idea how much money is needed and where to distribute the budget in millions of uncoordinated actions. It adds unpredictability, say you have single payer heaths care you can't just suddenly change what falls under it because the budget for it got smaller. Or military many would probably like to invest less in it but you can't randomly stop paying for orders you already made or fire soldiers or stop paying for veterans. Raising the budget in a rubric has similar problems, having to find new places to spend the money is one thing when you can plan for several years, but when you don't know how much budget you have available the next year. In short if not enough people go "use it however" and it actually changes anything then it makes long term planning hard.
That is a terrible idea. Complex policies should be determined by professionals. How do I know if how much money should go to education, how much to defense, how much to the justice department? Do I have any idea how much a detective makes, and should they be making more? Absolutely not. I should elect people whose positions I support ("I'd allocate more money for education and less money for defense" etc.), and they can hire professionals who think they can employ their vision.
I've been thinking about something like this for a while. I'll lay out my proposal a bit more detailed and the OP can specify where mine would differ from his idea, or if he'd prefer it being more vague in certain sections.
The government would propose a budget as usual, but only 70% of every post would be guaranteed. The other 30% is approved by the people via their tax returns, up to a maximum of 120%. That means of every tax return, 70% would be 'according to government budget' and only 30% could be allocated to your favorite cause. This would guarantee that even areas of spending that aren't popular or the cause du jour get a minimum budget allocated. The 120% is a cap so that education for example, which would probably be moderately popular, doesn't receive double its budget, but does receive a boost vs what the government decided is necessary. Any funds that go above 120% would be divided evenly among the other posts. These numbers would be up for debate (80/110%), and if a lot of representatives agree(supermajority?), could be fixed for one post(so the budget is not up for debate). This would sort of fix the problem where the individual doesn't know exactly how much each area really needs, the 'experts' would be making a proposal and you basically vote on whether you think that is high or low.
On the tax returns, the budget posts would have to be limited to 15-20 areas, simply because taxes are complicated enough as it is, and most people wouldn't get the nuances if you broke it down into more pieces. So no "Planned Parenthood" or "Firefighters" posts, but those would possibly be included in "Healthcare" and "Support of public services" instead, and not up for your tax vote. It could be proposed that smaller controversial posts could be added for a form of direct democracy, for example "Wall with Mexico".
The taxpayer would fill in the percentages of their taxes they think should go to what services. For example 20% Education, 25% Welfare/Social Security, 15% Military, 40% infrastructure. This could be someone who owns a construction business. It's in his interest that infrastructure is well funded. I would require that at least 3 posts be chosen with at least 10% to prevent too much focusing.
The advantages of the system would be that you have more control over where your tax dollars go, making you feel better about paying them in the first place. It's also a form of feedback for the government where the taxpayers feel the problems are. You could use the given percentages independent of how much money is actually behind it to get good information on what the people want. Even if your owed taxes are 0, your voice would be heard.
Disadvantages include the fact that rich people and businesses would have a larger say over the budget than poor people. You could argue that since the 70% is still guaranteed the power still rests with the people, and the middle class as such still makes up most of the tax dollars.
Also, the politicians setting the budget would of course state that 70% of the budget is actually 100% of what they would have proposed if this system wasn't in place. Similar to how people waste this year's budget at the end of the year so they get the same budget next year because they might need it then. I'm not sure how you'd prevent that without tying the maximum budget to the expected tax collection. Politicians can then fight over the budget allocation like always. This would limit deficit spending as well, but this can be a negative.
What counts as (for example) "defense"? How will the taxpayers know whether any given line item is actually counted under the "defense" category or not? How will they know whether or not it should?
This gives the illusion of populist control, with all the disadvantages and none of the upsides.
Also, in the case of the 'smaller' options like the Mexican Wall (for which the base 70%/whatever is already subatantial, is there any provision for Kickstarter "we need this amount to even bother starting"?
I like the general idea that some public guidance can be 'voted on' through existing channels (basically recurring postal referenda), but that is rather perverse of me given my general attitude against populist reactions (as opposed to properly considered and structured governance in the first place) and the evidence of what sort of messes 'public opinions' can lead us towards in their knee-jerky manner.
Maybe stability might be achieved by a dendrarchy, each person encouraged to defer their influence by passing it on to another individual who they suport, who in turn passes their accumulated 'power' to others (no looping allowed!), until sufficiently trusted branch-rooters retain their influence within the governmental level. Where perceived imbalances of policy are apparent, shuffling trusts at the leaf-ends and minor branch-roots may rectify things. Still troublesome, whether that's the method of proxy-representation or a taxation-distribution guide.
Honestly, the mechanism you're describing already exists in society: It's called charity.
Charity is how every member of society can choose to give as little or as much to as few or as many causes as they wish - be they intelligently researched or purely on a whim.
Government is about a baseline level of infrastructure and social safety nets such that a decent standard of living and level playing field can be had by all.
This is why it can't all just be a 'popularity contest' - we need experts to decide where society's money is best spent, and often that involves long term planning and investment. Thus (in theory) we elect wise politicians who listen to wise experts to make such decisions. That's the part of the process that needs to be improved upon; Going down your road actually represents an increasing abdication of responsibility.
The customer (or in this case voter) is not always right.

If you have no opinion you would probably be able to find suggested applications published by political groups you trust and use those. There be could be a default option where your money is allocated in the same proportions as the overall resulting allocation.
I think we agree that the allocation of funding is to some degree political rather that something a professional can optimize. Perhaps the possibility of the populous choosing a plainly suboptimal distribution could be resolved by requiring funding applications to be within 1 standard deviation of a sample of allocations chosen by experts.
A benefit that a direct voting system has is that it is more likely to result in compromise. Rather than the party in power making most of the decisions, we end up meeting somewhere in the middle in proportion to the relative popularity of a funding category.
ucim wrote: What counts as (for example) "defense"? How will the taxpayers know whether any given line item is actually counted under the "defense" category or not? How will they know whether or not it should?
I don't think there is an easy answer to that. Often taxpayers probably wouldn't know if a spending category is used for what they expect. Politicians will need to debate categorizations and reporters will need to inform voters of controversies. I would give a similar answer to the question of how you know an elected official will actually do the things they campaigned on.
No, still think it's a terrible idea. Maybe you've never had people close to you work in some sort of fiscal budgeting role, but there's a reason these people have jobs - these things are complicated and require a lot of time to understand.
Politicized spending could devolve into bribery by the tax constituent if the system is not large and/or blind enough.
The lobbying ecology alone would become unbearable.

http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/ ... w-they-did) that allows uncoordinated masses to arrive at allocations that are just as good as the experts.
The problem of unpredictability could be resolved by adding a lag time so that budget allocations changes gradually go into effect over years rather than making sudden jumps.
I only imagine this as applying to discretionary spending. Entitlements for things like social security and veteran benefits would be left alone.
That sounds more like hope than expectation. Does the wisdom of crowds always come up with optimal answers in elections and referenda?
But then you would be setting budget priorities based on what was popular x years ago. That would be extremely inconvenient way to put the country on a war footing, for instance. The war would be over by the time you got around to buying the materiel.
Or say there was a popular proposal to alleviate a recession by investing in infrastructure and public works projects. The country is supposed to just sit around foe a few year having a recession while they wait for the budget allocation vote to come into effect?
While i'm also doubtful if this is better than experts, i think elections would come up with much better answers if they were more fine grained. If your only choice is between two deplorable parties, you're just out of luck. If you could express your preferences over ten or twenty parties or individuals, the aggregate would be a lot more interesting.
I think that the only way you'd be able to do that would be by either banning political parties or radically changing the system (perhaps disbanding both Rs and Ds under RICO?).
you need to change the voting system. Single-winner elections favour a few big political parties, multi-winner elections favour lots of little political parties.
While I agree it's not very responsive, this is essentially always the case with war. You go to war with the tech you built in time of peace.
Crowds certainly make mistakes, but I don't think it is clear that they are more susceptible to mistakes than individuals in this context. Democratic decisions are optimal in the sense that they appease the greatest fraction of the population at the time. I think most people would prefer living with the consequences of bad decisions they had a hand in making than bad decisions made over the objections of the majority.
We could give representatives the power to occasionally allocate temporary emergency funding to respond to events requiring immediate action.

If the goal is to share culpability for bad decisions, democracy is a way to achieve that. But if the goal is to make bad decisions less often, you should let experts take the decisions. Sure, they get things wrong, but by definition they get things wrong less often than non-experts.
Its not clear that crowds are less susceptible to mistakes either. I don't want a budgetary process that makes me feel better about its bad decisions, I want one that makes good decisions.
It's not a question of emergency allocations, it's a question of whether budget decisions made on the basis of what's popular today are, in general, going to still make sense in however many years. I'm skeptical.

To the extent voters do not know which areas would be best to fund, they will be unable to evaluate someone else's aptitude for the task. What makes a bad budget allocation arrived at by direct vote any more likely that one chosen by a bad choice of representative?
Budgets chosen by direct vote have the advantage of being less volatile. Public choice in funding allocation would not undergo as massive of swings as those brought on by the transition of control from one political party to another.
When we vote for representatives it is often as much identity driven as policy driven. Shifting power away from the representatives into direct voting measures allows people to more clearly express their preferences for policies rather than the personalty they like more. It also allows policy preferences to be disentangled. People usually don't approve of every single policy endorsed by their chosen representatives.
D-503 wrote: To the extent voters do not know which areas would be best to fund, they will be unable to evaluate someone else's aptitude for the task.
This sounds suspiciously like "don't trust the experts". There are many ways to judge somebody's aptitude for a task that one isn't versed in. You do it every time you hire somebody to do your taxes, fix your transmission, or build an addition onto your house. Governance is no different. It's just that people don't bother to do this.
At the very least, somebody who is familiar with the topic is probably better able to make decisions about it than somebody who isn't, so the zeroth order problem reduces to whether a candidate is familiar with the topic. It's often pretty obvious.

Changing the voting system is the better way to address this problem than changing the tax system.
You do realize that charities have the horrible problem of donations being earmarked for the flashy stuff, so they don't always have the money for the important things like administration, right? Flashy stuff will get the tax money, important but lesser known functions like CMS will get the shaft.
A weaker form of this would be to simply allow taxpayers to donate to government organizations the way they would to a charity.
I certainly wouldn't mind kicking a few extra dollars to the EPA right now, and I don't have a lot of money to spare. I know a few people that would gladly donate some money to NASA if they could.
The only problem I see with this is that Congress might decide that an institution is getting lots of donations, so clearly it doesn't need so much federal funding, until eventually they DO become charities.
You can donate to government agencies already. If you send them a check, they aren't going to turn it down.
Disappointed that this thread wasn't about how people should be able to give up their right to vote in exchange for not being taxed. I think that'd be far more effective towards effective spending.
If you let people decide where their taxes go, that's going to very quickly become a tax evasion game and a laundering scheme for politicians.
The only way this could work, is by having very limited control. For example, a poll to ask whether policing or the fire department should receive a greater budget emphasis in the next meeting.

Wind Turbine Arrangement: Staggering Results
and has no comments yet.
Location and organization apparently matters after all! Or at least that is what Cristina Archer, Assistant Professor at the University of Delaware has discovered with regard to wind turbine efficiency. Dr. Archer headed up a team of researchers from UD's College of Earth, Ocean and Environment to conduct studies on the effects of various wind turbine organizational placement patterns. Using a wind farm near Sweden for the basis of their study, they compared existing tightly paced, grid-like layouts to six alternate configurations. They tried multiple spacing distances in various styles of rows: straight arrays, linear but equal offsets and a staggered theatre style where any turbine in front does not obstruct the view from any one behind.
Renewable energy revolution will require better management of metals
If we are to avoid catastrophic climate change, scientists say global society will need a rapid and aggressive replacement of fossil fuel energy for renewable, such as solar, wind, geo-thermal, and tidal. While experts say a renewable revolution would not only mitigate climate change but also likely invigorate economies and cut life-threatening pollution, such a revolution would not come without challenges.
Climate change to disrupt soil nutrients in drylands
The increased aridity expected this century as a result of change may disrupt the balance of key soil nutrients with a knock-on effect on soil fertility threatening livelihoods of more than two billion people, a study finds. The drop in nitrogen and carbon concentrations that occurs as soils become dryer could have serious effects on ecosystem services such as food, carbon storage and biodiversity, according to the Nature paper published today.
The mystery of the disappearing elephant tusk
Give it a few thousand years, and tusks could completely disappear from the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus). The beautifully smooth, elongated ivory incisors neatly bordering a long trunk are iconic in the public mind. The reigning hypothesis is that tusks evolved to help male elephants fight one another, as demonstrated when males compete over females in estrus. However, a recent study published in the journal Animal Behaviour has shown that tusks may not be key factors in tussles, at least as far as elephants are concerned.
School Bus Company Fined $33K for Excessive Idling
and has 1 comment.
Watch out idlers – they're coming for you! Anti-idling laws on the federal, state, and local level are rapidly growing across the US in an effort to cut back on the billions of gallons of fuel that are wasted each year by idling vehicles. While it is difficult to patrol these idlers, especially on a local level, most states have laws against idling, with California taking the lead for the most codes and regulations. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is also taking action against companies that violate federally-enforceable motor vehicle idling limits. The latest culprit - North Reading Transportation (NRT), a Methuen company that operates school buses and provides student transportation services in several Massachusetts communities.
The Ozone hole seems to be getting smaller
Remember the Ozone hole? Decades ago it was a big concern. It was getting bigger and bigger and our emissions of ozone-depleting substances was identified as the main reason. It continues to get smaller as anthropogenic emissions continue to be reduced. It was slightly smaller in 2013 than average in recent decades, according to NASA satellite data. The ozone hole is a seasonal phenomenon that starts to form during the Antarctic spring (August and September). The September-October 2013 average size of the hole was 8.1 million square miles (21 million square kilometers). For comparison, the average size measured since the mid-1990s when the annual maximum size stopped growing is 8.7 million square miles (22.5 million square kilometers). However, the size of the hole in any particular year is not enough information for scientists to determine whether a healing of the hole has begun.
A Green Halloween Starts with a Green Pumpkin
Pumpkins are a huge part of the Halloween experience. We exhume the contents of our pumpkins and carve spirited faces into their walls for delightfully festive jack-o-lanterns. But what we do with the insides and the actual jack-o-lantern at the end of the season is often tragically wasteful. More often than not we toss our pumpkin guts, seeds and later on the actual jack-o-lantern into our household trash causing a huge volume increase in our household waste. With a little forethought though, a pumpkin can be much more beneficial to our environment and our tummies. Below are some suggestions for what to do with your pumpkin—all of it—both before and after Halloween.

China Detains Ai Weiwei as Warning Against Dissent, Says Amnesty International
Contact: AIUSA media relations office, 202-509-8194
(Washington, D.C.) — The detention of China's most famous artist and political critic, Ai Weiwei, is a troubling development in a widening crackdown on dissent that has seen dozens of activists detained over the last few months, Amnesty International said today.
"Ai Weiwei was not even involved in any call for 'Jasmine' protests. There seems to be no reason whatsoever for his detention, other than that the authorities are trying to broadcast the message that China's time for open dissent has come to an end," said Donna Guest, Amnesty International's deputy director for the Asia-Pacific.
"We've already seen the chilling effect the 'Jasmine Revolution'-related arrests have had on Chinese activists and netizens over the past month. Holding Ai Weiwei takes this to another level," said Guest. "If the authorities are so bold as to grab this world-renowned artist in broad daylight at Beijing airport, it's frightening to think how they might treat other, lesser known dissidents."
Police detained Ai Weiwei at Beijing airport on April 2. His wife and several members of his studio staff were also detained on the weekend.
Since online calls for Chinese 'Jasmine Revolution' protests inspired by people's movements in the Middle East and North Africa began circulating in late February, the Chinese authorities have rounded up dozens of activists, lawyers and bloggers.
Amnesty International is a Nobel Peace Prize-winning grassroots activist organization with more than 3 million supporters, activists and volunteers in more than 150 countries campaigning for human rights worldwide. The organization investigates and exposes abuses, educates and mobilizes the public, and works to protect people wherever justice, freedom, truth and dignity are denied.

News »Assembly Democratic Bill to Ensure Safety of Special Needs Students on School Buses Clears Assembly Panel
Assembly Democratic Bill to Ensure Safety of Special Needs Students on School Buses Clears Assembly Panel
Bill sponsored by Muoio, Benson, Vainieri Huttle, Gusciora, Caputo, Zwicker & Eustace
(Trenton, NJ) -- Legislation sponsored by Assembly Democrats Elizabeth Muoio, Daniel Benson, Valerie Vainieri Huttle, Reed Gusciora, Ralph Caputo, Andrew Zwicker and Tim Eustace to protect special needs students who ride school buses was released Monday by an Assembly panel.
This bill (A-4332) would establish a minimum ratio of school bus aides to special needs students on a school bus. The bill is in response to a series of assaults that occurred on school buses in the Trenton School District, including incidents against young children with special needs.
"This is a parents' worst nightmare," said Muoio (D-Mercer/Middlesex). "Students with special needs are especially vulnerable, as they may be seen as easy targets. This helps ensure there is adequate supervision on school buses to help prevent such a terrible incident from happening again."
Under the bill, a board of education or a contractor that provides pupil transportation services under contract with a board of education must ensure that a school bus has at least one school bus aide on board for every 15 students with special needs. The aide-to-student ratio must be maintained at all times when a school bus is transporting students with special needs or a combination of students with special needs and general education students.
"We cannot be lax when it comes to the safety and security of our children," said Benson (D-Mercer/Middlesex). "This can help prevent such unfortunate incidents by ensuring there is always an adult on a school bus who can monitor student behavior and step in when problems arise."
"Parents who have no other means to get their children to school should not have to worry every time their child gets on a school bus," said Vainieri Huttle (D-Bergen). "Providing the necessary supervision on school buses to ensure the safety of all students should be a top priority."
"We have a responsibility to students and the parents who trust us with their well-being," said Gusciora (D-Mercer/Hunterdon). "What occurred on those buses should have never happened. Having ample coverage on school buses can help deter such behavior and help keep student safe."
"We can't expect bus drivers to supervise students while keeping their eyes on the road," said Caputo (D-Essex). "Making sure that there is sufficient oversight on school buses can help prevent such attacks, and help ensure the overall safety of our most vulnerable students."
"We must protect students who might be more vulnerable to attacks," said Zwicker (D-Somerset/Mercer/Middlesex/Hunterdon). "Children should not have to forfeit their safety when they get on the school bus. This can help prevent such reprehensible incidents and keep students safe."
"Parents should feel comfortable knowing that when their children board the school bus, they will be safe," said Eustace (D-Bergen/Passaic). "Expecting children to supervise themselves is impractical. This can help ensure that kids get to and from school without incident."
The bill would take effect immediately.
The bill was approved by the Assembly Education Committee.


KARACHI - The families of three alleged suicide bombers, arrested by Rawalpindi police, have contradicted the claims from police, saying their beloved ones had no affiliation with any terrorist outfit. "Our beloved ones went missing on different dates last year and later their names were included in missing persons' list", they claimed. It is pertinent to mention here that CPO Rawalpindi, Rao Muhammad Iqbal, had told newsmen on Thursday that the arrested persons were involved in several terrorist activities in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The detainees have also been accused of affiliation with the Wana-based terrorists, particularly Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Baitullah Mehsud. They, along with their other seven accomplices, were also allegedly involved in a string of deadly bombings last year that destroyed the Danish Embassy, killed the Surgeon General of Pakistan Army and wounded several FBI personnel. The arrested persons included Mohammad Sarfraz, Zeeshan Jalil and Osama Waheed, the residents of Karachi. Talking to The Nation on Friday, their families contradicted the allegations made by the Rawalpindi police and claimed that all the three arrested persons had been previously included in a list of missing persons and their cases were under trial in the SHC. "All the allegations are fake as our beloved ones were never affiliated with any terrorist organisation," they claimed. Sarfaraz s/o Ibrar, is a resident of Al-Falah area and father of two children. He went missing on October 17, 2008. The area police was informed on the very next day of his missing while his family also filed a petition in the Sindh High Court on November 6, 2008. Farhan, a brother of Sarfraz, said that "Sarfaraz was picked up by law-enforcers in civvies from National Highway, Gulshan-e-Hadeed, when he, along with his friend, Arif, was on the way to Thatta". After detention at an unknown place, Arif was thrown at Sharah-e-Faisal, he added. Farhan claimed that Sarfaraz had his own business of tea and was not affiliated with any organisation. Similarly, the Brigade Police on October 19, 2008, were informed about the missing of Zeeshan Jalil, a resident of Gulistan-e-Johar and a father of three children. A petition was also filed with the SHC in this connection. "He was running a medical and general store," his father Jalil said, adding "My son was kidnapped from a place near the Quaid-e-Azam Mausoleum." Osama Waheed, the father of two children, went missing on September 14 when he was on the way to home at Boostan-e-Rafiq, Malir, after dropping his father at Cantt Railway Station. "We repeatedly contacted the police but got no response. We finally filed a petition regarding his disappearance in the court in October," said his brother Ajmal Waheed. "Recently we received information that Osama has been shifted to Islamabad and is in the custody of the Military Intelligence (MI)", he added. He further said that his family had affiliation with JI and was not linked to any terrorist organization.
