2016 has been brutal for music fans. Today, we add the artist usually known as Prince to the list of recently departed pop music greats.
Prince's impact was certainly felt by all fans of rock and pop music: Not only is he a favorite of the VH1 nostalgia crowd for having released some of the most quintessentially 80's tracks, but his credibility among guitarists and other rock musicians allowed him to transcend the banal and superficial top-40 scene — credibility earned through sheer musicianship and focused dedication to the craft of music, a concept that seems increasingly novel in today's produce-by-numbers environment. His stage performances were inspired by those of Jimi Hendrix and James Brown without being derivative.
Prince and the Revolution were a major component of the soundtrack of my youth. I played the 1999 cassette until it squealed from wear. I often cite "Lady Cab Driver" and other songs of the era as my earliest lessons in funk guitar. Some music we enjoy because it is objectively well-made; other music sparks in us a thrill. The albums of Prince's psychedelic funk-pop era (1999, Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, Parade, Sign o' the Times) accomplish both for me, to this very day. Prince's urban soul, tempered by the feminine influence of Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, was a sound wrapped in a mystique, a unique aural sensation that had never been heard and may never be replicated. You cannot listen to Sign o' the Times without hearing lyrical and musical themes that the R&B community would mimic for decades after.
Prince left us at age 57, in the midst of a career resurgence. He would have had many years ahead of him. When some legends pass, it is unfortunate but unsurprising. Prince's passing is tragically surprising, and he will be missed all the more for it.

RIM appoints Alexandra Zagury as MD for South and Southern Africa
By Nicholas on	 26th Jul 2012 Industry News, News, Phone News
BlackBerry manufacturers Research in Motion (RIM) announced today that the company has appointed Alexandra Zagury as the managing director of South Africa and Southern Africa, overseeing all operations as well as sales and marketing drives.
"I am excited to be taking on the role of Managing Director for the Southern African region, one of RIM's most important growth markets" said Zagury. " We are proud of the company's success in this region, particularly in South Africa where BlackBerry is the leading smartphone brand, and I believe there is still tremendous opportunity for growth. Our goal is to maintain customer loyalty and expand RIM's leading position in South Africa by being even more customer-focused and by working closely with our carrier and developer partners across the region."
Alexandra Zagury was previously the MD of RIM in Turkey, the first person to be appointed in that position. Her four-year tenure with the company includes being based in the UK where she oversaw regional strategic planning and business operations for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Robert Bose, regional managing director at RIM for Africa and the Middle East said "Alexandra brings a wealth of commercial, strategic and leadership experience to this role, and she will be instrumental in driving the next stage of our business growth in Southern Africa."
South Africa is one market where RIM's influence is growing. According to GfK Retail and Technology data RIM accounted for 7 out of the ten best-selling smartphones in the country in May this year. The data also showed that BlackBerry has been the leading smartphone vendor in SA for the past 20 months.

'In a totally sane society, madness is the only freedom'
Calcio: A History of Italian Football
John Foot
The first history of Italian football to be written in English, 'Calcio' is a mix of serious analysis and comic storytelling, with vivid descriptions of games, goals, dives, missed penalties, riots and scandals in the richest and toughest league in the world.
'Calcio' tells the story of Italian football from its origins in the 1890's to the present day. It takes us through a history of great players and teams, of style, passion and success, but also of violence, cynicism, catenaccio tactics and corruption.
We meet the personalities that have shaped this history – from the Italian heroes to the foreigners that failed, the model professionals to the mavericks. 'Calcio' evokes the triumphs (the 1982 World Cup victory) and the tragedies (Meroni, the 'Italian George Best', killed by his number one fan), set against a backdrop of paranoia and intrigue, in a country where the referee is seen as corrupt until proven otherwise.
Calcio is no longer a game. It is sometimes difficult to define it as a sport. It is certainly big business and a fanatical civic religion. There is no moral code here. Winners are always right, losers always wrong. This history of Italian football reveals all about the richest and toughest league in the world.
Reviews of Calcio: A History of Italian Football
'"Calcio: A History of Italian Football" reveals more about the national character than any dry study of politics or economics ever could. This is a hefty work but there is so much going on that the pace never slackens. Foot is a meticulous and knowledgeable guide to his complex subject and leaves the reader wanting to investigate further.' Andrew Baker, Daily Telegraph
'John Foot is head over heels in love with calcio, and his detailed, thematically structured account of its past and present is overwhelming evidence of that.' Independent, Sport Section Book of the Week
'An excellent chapter on British failures in Serie A but it's the many scandals that one keeps coming back to.' Observer Sport Monthly
'Foot's exemplary history shows how football and Italian society are inextricably intertwined, and is full of fascinating vignettes.' Sunday Times
'Highly readable… "Calcio" has set an impressive benchmark for football histories in general.' Sean O'Connor, Soccerpile.com
'Like a match-winning penalty taken in extra time, this is a book not to be missed.' Oldie

Sam Brownback's administration has unveiled its much anticipated education finance reform plan which would change how schools in Kansas receive funding by creating an "equal playing field" for all school districts, writes KTKA.com.
The proposals intend to give the state's 283 school districts the power to raise funds through local property tax hikes. These reforms will create a much more fair and flexible plan, says Governor Sam Brownback's policy director.
Under the proposals the base state of aid per pupil will be set at $4,492.
This is disputed by policy director Landon Fulmer, who believes that equality in money distribution is at the heart of the plan.
Under the proposal, a property tax equalization fund would take a 20 mill levy from each district and then would pay back districts with lower property tax values.
To insure per-pupil funding levels don't drop in districts, a supplemental fund would make payments to districts that did not have their base line requirements met.
For Brownback's administration this is seen as a win-win situation for poor districts.
"We have to take account the resources that we have, that's what this formula is all about. We have what we have we want to try to distribute it in the most fairest and equitable way," said Fulmer.
The proposed plan would take effect in the 2013- 2014 school year, after the Kansas state board of education meets again to further discuss the proposal.

HomeReviewsAlbum ReviewsALBUM REVIEW: LOW – ONES AND SIXES
ALBUM REVIEW: LOW – ONES AND SIXES
October 5, 2015 Lori Gava Album Reviews
The improbable career of the Duluth, Minnesota based band Low is entering its third decade. They have spanned the globe touring, played the opening spot for Radiohead in 2003 and been covered by rock legend Robert Plant. On September 11th the husband and wife led band released "One and Sixes", their 11th long play release. "One and Sixes" follows up their excellent 2013 album "The Invisible Way". "Ones and Sixes" is filled with Low's trademark minimalism and evocative emotional punch. Their influence can certainly be heard in the work of bands such as Beach House.
Low was formed in 1993 by Vocalist/Guitarist Alan Sparhawk and his wife vocalist/percussionist Mimi Parker. Bassist Steve Garrington has been with the band since 2005. Low is renowned for being leaders in the so called "Slowcore" genre; however they personally never liked the moniker. Low's discography is as diverse as the producers they have worked with throughout the years. Steve Fisk, Steve Albini, David Friedemann and Wilco's Jeff Tweedy are just some of the producers who have left their imprints on the band and their music. The band released their debut "I Could Live in Hope" in 1994 and garnered many fans and critical attention with the stellar 2001 "Things we Lost in the Fire". Their albums are pretty evenly split between their trademark plaintively classic sound and the ragged noisy experimentation of their more recent releases. "Ones and Sixes" balances both those facets of the band's sound blending both ends of the spectrum exceptionally well.
This go round the band recorded in Justin Vernon's April Base Studios in Eau Clare, Wisconsin. "Ones and Sixes" was co produced by Low and engineer
B.J. Barton. Wilco drummer Glen Kotche happened to also be in the building and lent a hand on a few songs playing hand percussion. On "Ones and Sixes" the band is operating in their thematic wheelhouse examining subjects like spirituality, emotional unease and the complications of human relationships. These ruminations all take place over cathedral like spiraling guitars and electronic flourishes, displaying Low's keen ear for detail. They aptly inject into their music the emotions of their musical/romantic journey. The music unflinchingly examines morality, parenthood, and marriage but avoids getting preachy. It becomes quickly apparent that Parker is the emotionally calm center of the band as Sparhawk bobs and weaves through emotional highs and lows. Additionally striking are the shiver inducing harmonies the pair produces.
"Ones and Sixes" starts off with the standout "Gentle" which is filled with Low's signature harmonies. The song displays Low's finesse with sparse minimalist technique providing serious emotional impact. The lyrics are almost stream of consciousness as they contemplate a relationship or a life ending; "It doesn't have to end this way, but this is where we stay." "No Comprende" has a tribal beat as the percussion becomes more apparent on this track. The song examines various ways signals get crossed; "Before you try to make assumptions let's cut to the conclusions."
The song unreels over a wide soundscape with not a note going wrong. The music is elemental but engaging with the undeniable beauty of Alan and Mimi's harmonic vocals mesmerizing the listener. On "Spanish Translation" Alan takes the lead vocal with Mimi doing a disembodied back vocal. There is an otherworldly atmosphere to the song. The song suggests that life is confusion until a soul mate provides the translation that makes sense out of everything.
The glichy keyboards in "Congregation" provide an excellent backdrop for Mimi's lead vocal. Her voice is so warm and expressive it is a given that an enjoyable song will be the end result. The track "No End" is probably the most pop selection on the disc with its hooky guitar riff and it is also the most lighthearted point in the album. Sonically the song reminds me of Bob Mould's latest solo work. It still retains that dreamy feel with soaring harmonies married to a great rhythm.
"Into You" returns to a more somber and reflective mood. The bassline on this track is stellar, as it conveys the heavy emotional feeling. This song and "What Part of Me" are both illuminated by the enduring marriage of Sparhawk and Parker. Evinced on "Into You" is the mastery of nuanced minimalism on an evocative lullaby of sorts. Hand in hand with "Into You" is the aforementioned "What Part of Me" which is more rock like in vibe but thematically dwells in the same area as "Into You". The song questions what is left to know after 20 plus years of marriage. The song states that there is comfort in the familiar but also a fear of complacency and suffocation. This is a definite "do not miss" track off the album.
It is at this point in the album that one has to appreciate how precisely each song fits perfectly together, with peaks and valley building to an emotional climax. "The Innocents" is a showcase of Mimi's amazing warm crystalline vocals. The angelic vocals are a counterbalance to the dark theme. This theme is personified by the gritty synth that acts like an entity chasing and threatening the innocents of the song; "All you innocents make a run for it." The track is simple but very entrancing. The only song I found a bit disappointing was "Kid in the Corner" which is a little lacking lyrically. It has an upbeat accompaniment and the vocals are so magical that the lack of a lyrical center almost makes no difference to the end result. "Lies" returns to the tribal beat of "No Comprende" with Alan singing lead. The beauty of this song belies the theme, questioning the need to cover the painful truth with lies.
The epic track of the album is "Landslide", which is lengthy at a clock in time of nine plus minutes but is spellbinding and one of the best songs on an album full of engaging material. The song addresses Alan's struggles with depression. It describes his battles through pain and out the other side to recovery. It is very moving as it carries all the feelings of anger, fear and sadness over a minimal ethereal landscape. The final tune "DJ" returns to the experimental designs of Low's former recordings. It is a religious contemplation of sorts. The tribal beat and shimmering guitar produce a dreamy and mesmerizing backdrop for the song. The real gist of the song is found in the lyric; "you want religion, you want assurance, you want resurrection, some kind of purpose, it is not what you say, it is what you take back, I ain't your DJ you've gotta shake that." The song is quintessential Low and a fantastic way to end the album.
At the over twenty year milestone of Low's existence it is an accomplishment to have endured and continued to produce the quality music the band has on offer. It is not often that mature bands find something new to say but Low continues to create fresh new engaging songs. Low is sorely underappreciated possibly due to the fact they make it look so easy, it almost seems as though their ability to make this great music is effortless. The crafting and handiwork of the band and their amazingly nuanced ear are exemplary. This is a record worth seeking out. It is satisfying for long term fans and an excellent gateway into Low's tremendous discography.

If a custom NSURLProtocol is handling an HTTP POST request, the request HTTPBody is nil.
This only happens if [WKBrowsingContextController registerSchemeForCustomProtocol:] is called for that protocol. If this method is not called, then the POST request is simply bypassing the custom protocol.
This happens on iOS 8.1 [12B401].
It's also reproducible on the master branch ( 809db5f8edac632ec3332b43dc90795d96914440 ).
Expected results: a message "You did not fill in a required field."
Actual results: the page is reloaded, and you see the form again, because POST parameters are not sent (and Content-Length = 0).
For this to happen you need to register a custom NSURLProtocol handling HTTP.
It looks like we don't serialize HTTP body when sending the request from the networking process to the UI process. See http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebKit2/Shared/mac/WebCoreArgumentCodersMac.mm#L60.
I think that custom protocol callbacks would need to serialize the body separately. However, the comment still holds - we can't possibly always make it work, because the body may be a stream, and thus not meaningfully serializable.
"We don't send HTTP body over IPC for better performance"
What was the performance problem?
Consider a use case of having a custom HTTP implementation using NSURLProtocol. Opera Coast and Google Chrome on iOS are using this approach. If the body is not sent to UIProcess, there's no way a correct request can be made from UIProcess.
If HTTPBodyStream is present one would need to organize proper streaming between processes, where the sending process reads the stream block by block, and sends it through IPC as in series of calls, while in the UIProcess it makes a proxy stream on that request that accumulates data.
I would say that allowing the HTTPBody to be serialized will fix most of the simple FORM POST requests, which might be good enough already. What are the use cases when HTTPBodyStream is not nil? Can it happen with XmlHttpRequest? Maybe some <input> for file uploads?
> I would say that allowing the HTTPBody to be serialized will fix most of the simple FORM POST requests, which might be good enough already.
I expect that file upload won't work in this case, which is probably not good enough for a shipping browser.
Beefing up custom protocols so that they could work to fully replace http stack does not seem like a worthy goal to me personally (Sam, Anders and Andy would be the authority on this, not me). Perhaps we should explicitly block anything but GET, to avoid giving an impression that this may sort of work?
HTTP resource fetching is just too low level to meaningfully delegate.

Please note that using custom protocol handlers with the Modern WebKit API is not supported at all at this time (it would require use of SPI which can change at any time).
I'm aware that the Modern WebKit API doesn't support NSURLProtocol, so treat this discussion as a feature request.
I would like to share with you some use cases that Opera Coast is having with this and why is it interesting to use HTTP delegation, but I can't freely discuss it in public, so please take a look on a bug rdar://18536522 .
I'm sure that other browser product guys have something to say about this, I'll try to bring them into discussion. I just know that iOS Google Chrome, Opera Mini and Yandex Browser are all successfully utilising HTTP delegation with UIWebView by implementing some custom NSURLProtocols.
> +        to handle POST requests with form parameters.
I do not believe that this is acceptable for performance reasons.
While I do think it could be desirable to serialize the request body (assuming it's an NSData object), I don't think we want to do this for _all_ requests, and we have to be careful to not do unnecessary copies (so we would want to do copy-on-write shared memory mapping of the data).
> If a custom NSURLProtocol is handling an HTTP POST request, the request HTTPBody is nil.
> This only happens if [WKBrowsingContextController registerSchemeForCustomProtocol:] is called for that protocol.
This is actually not true; the same problem exists in a stock WKWebView without calling any SPI. If you implement WKNavigationDelegate callbacks, the NSURLRequest provided in those callbacks is missing this data, so the delegate method is providing incorrect information to the client (this is filed as rdar://18399639 BTW).
Even without custom protocol handlers, Chrome needs this information in order to correctly implement our back-forward handling.
Please keep in mind that given that UIWebView is increasingly crippled (slow JS, no IndexedDB support, etc.), this ends up being equivalent in practice to saying that continuing to allow at least the current level of support for an ecosystem of compelling third-party browsers on iOS is not a worthy goal. Speaking for Chromium on iOS, obviously we hope that does not end up being the team's official position.
Please check out an update - patch part 2. Now request body is serialized only in the IPC message "CustomProtocolManagerProxy::StartLoading" (a message that's sent to initiate a resource loading in another process). In all other cases it works like before, that is the body is stripped.
That's a rough implementation I'm sure there will be some review comments, so I didn't make a proper single patch with changelogs, sorry for that.
Does form upload work with this patch? If it does, can you please explain how it serializes a body stream?
Right, this patch only sends NSURLRequest.HTTPBody, and doesn't handle NSURLRequest.HTTPBodyStream. HTTPBodyStream is stripped as before. It means that uploading a file won't work (for example on http://imgur.com ). I think that the file upload use case should be treated in a separate bug, because it's quite a different use case, and should be prioritized separately. It needs different test cases as well. I'm going to create a separate bug report for this if that's fine.
The patch here fixes all the form types without "input type=file", including all sorts of login and registration forms.
Submitted a combined patch with updated changelogs.
I don't think the approach is quite right here. Also, the patch does not build on any of the EWS bots, so review-.
I don't understand the purpose of this class. It seems to wrap a ResourceRequest and add nothing, with forwarding functions. Does not seem like a good pattern to add a class like this. I understand the desire to have clarity about whether a body is present, but this does not seem to be the right way to accomplish that. We don't want a class that we have to keep updating every time we change the design of ResourceRequest.
This is the wrong style for WebKit. We put private data members last, after public members, and we explicitly write "private".
> +    // Whether this request should be hidden from the Inspector.
These should have blank lines around them, so they make their own paragraphs.
We use words for argument names, not letters. This should be "encoder".
> I understand the desire to have clarity about whether a body is present, but this does not seem to be the right way to accomplish that.
That's correct. It's only to trigger a different serialization method to work (pick a different ArgumentCoder<T>). The current IPC is implemented by using templates. When you call a send() method, it uses some magic (variadic templates) to determine an ArgumentCoder by type of the passed argument (for each argument). It's done at compile time.
Another option to fix it would be to pass the message type (class MT) through this template code path. I could add a parameter MT that you pass to send(), so that it uses a different coder method in the end if the MT matches "StartLoading" type.
Another option to fix it would be to add a flag to ResourceRequest. This sounds dirty to me, because this flag conceptually doesn't belong to ResourceRequest. It belongs to a party which is managing serialization.
Another option would be to avoid using templates at all, and just inline them in a place where send() is called, so that all argument encoding parameters are fixed there, i.e. create a message to pass by hand instead of letting the template magic do it automatically. This is dirty as well.
> I don't think the approach is quite right here. Also, the patch does not build on any of the EWS bots, so review-.
I'm looking at the errors ( https://webkit-queues.appspot.com/patch/240538 ), but I don't understand them. It looks like #import statements are missing, but it's not true. I'm building using Xcode and command line (build-webkit script), and it builds well, but I'm only building in debug mode. It's some release configuration problem. I'll try to build a release and see what's wrong. If you know what's wrong, please let me know.
A release build on my machine with "build-webkit --release" worked fine, what's the difference on EWS? How to test this?
I reimplemented a patch so that it doesn't touch WebCore, and ResourceRequestWithBody is not needed.
Seems like the TestWebKitAPI project fails, but why?
Anders is the right person to look at this.
I didn't think warnings would ever cause a build failure on Windows but maybe this is the reason. Perhaps the patch should just be re-uploaded.
(2) If serializing the body is right, I don't think it's correct to do it only for the custom protocol case. As Stuart Morgan mentioned, Chrome for iOS would have a use for it for purposes of the back-forward list even without custom protocols. Since custom protocols are not even supported in the Modern WebKit API at present, I am not sure how the patch posted here would even do anything. Can you explain in what cases it has an effect, and how you tested it?
(3) The patch lacks tests. It should probably have an API test.
(4) If the patch is changed to be global, it probably needs to be performance tested. If the body serialization is a performance hit, we may need to be clever about how to optimize, such as by using shared memory. I think if the patch could be done with no measurable slowdown and worked for even the non-custom-protocol case, likely no one would have a strong objection.
(5) I don't think covering only HTTPBody but not HTTPBodyStream is sufficient for use in a browser, either for custom protocols or for the back/forward case. Any time a form contains a file upload, it will have a body stream. If a client relies on presence of the body, it will fail for this case. While there's no obvious way to serialize an arbitrary HTTPBodyStream, we might be able to special-case detect the one produced by WebKit and convert it back to an array of data chunks and file references.
If we do support passing the body to the client, and possibly eventually support custom protocol handlers for HTTP, I think the feature should be done fully correctly instead of just trying to hit the 90% case.
Thanks for taking a look Maciej.
(1) I'll rebase and reupload to "unred" the windows.
The first is "why it's not general, but only for startLoading case?". It's because it's a minimum that's enough for our use cases. Having this the Chrome team can adjust their code to take a body from on the protocol level, and then use it in the delegate callbacks. Another reason is that having it global is a vague performance problem (in some conditions, on some platforms, hard to test), and that's why it was stripped in the first place. Having it for a single case makes performance implications clear.
And it was rejected for performance reasons, which you mention as well.
You have to call [WKBrowsingContextController registerSchemeForCustomProtocol:], then it works as expected.
For me this is enough to split it as a separate issue, and work on it separately.
The second reason for splitting it is that some clients might be already happy by only having simple POST forms.
The third reason is that it's the first experience, and I wanted to start gently with small and targeted changes, where it's easy for us to argue about the solution and if it makes sense or not. By no means I wanted to start with some huge architectural changes that affect performance in unknown ways, and require a lot of experience and testing.
If this work is accepted, and a related 137302 is accepted (which is already reviewed, but blocked by this bug), I was planning to start working on uploads shortly, because we definitely need them as well. So don't worry, the streams case won't be forgotten.
Rebased to master. No conflicts, no changes. Waiting for reviewers to respond to the last comments.
After discussing this a bit, we have decided that since we do not support custom NSURLProtocols as API, there is no reason to complicate the code further by adding this functionality that no one will be allowed to use. As such, I don't think this bug is valid.
I appreciate your work on it, and apologize for taking so long to come to a conclusive answer here.  I am interested in the larger types of problems you are having that make you feel using a custom protocol would solve. Please feel free to file those.
> one will be allowed to use.
As noted in comment 12 and comment 27 this bug actually is not specific to NSURLProtocols and is a serious problem for Chromium on iOS without any SPI involved.
Would retitling this bug to replace "with a custom NSURLProtocol" with "in navigation delegate callbacks" help change the resolution?
> > one will be allowed to use.
> navigation delegate callbacks" help change the resolution?
Absolutely, though at this point, I think filing a new bug about an issue with the navigation delegate callbacks would be ideal, so we can have a cleaner conversation about that there.
> would be ideal, so we can have a cleaner conversation about that there.
Makes sense, thanks! Filed bug 140188.

Dann Zinn, with Origin Records, presents 'Day of Reckoning,' featuring his stellar quartet in a performance of nine new original compositions, along with a moving version of the classic ballad, "Blame It On My Youth." Zinn created this project specifically for the longtime collaborator, and brilliant Taylor Eigsti on piano, the young phenom bassist Zach Ostroff, and world class drummer, Mark Ferber. Zinn's playing, as always, is energetic, virtuosic, and passionate. 'Day Of Reckoning' was recorded in the final weeks of the legendary Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA. The band captured the sounds and clarity of the studio along with the excitement the group brings to a live gig.Thus creating a listening experience that "exemplifies Zinn's gift for marrying eminently memorable themes to entrancing rhythms."
…combining Jan Garbarek's crystalline sound with a handful of East Bay grease.
I first met Dann when I was seventeen years old. Even then, I could sense immediately that he encounters the world with total presence. I remember him looking me straight in the eyes and listening to every word I spoke. Then, he replied with a zen-like precision, while occasionally cracking a joke so dry and so poignant that I would feel laughter and awe come over me simultaneously. And then, he picked up his horn. The way he played felt exactly like how he spoke. I feel like the spirit of this record manifested directly from Dann's ability to play with so much strength and passion, while allowing the music to go anywhere it wanted to take us. I'm so glad that we get to share this journey now with everyone who wants to go it with us.
Day of Reckoning was a very cool record to be a part of. Dann's music covers a lot of ground and keeps all of us 100% engaged, start to finish. A very special project to document in the final days of the legendary Fantasy Studios.
It was a joy to be a part of Dann Zinn's latest release, Day of Reckoning. Dann's music has a sense of honesty, freedom, and excitement, and the music on the record evolved organically and created a broad vehicle for all of us in the band to explore and have fun playing these tunes. Dann is a fantastic saxophonist and flautist, and this album showcases both his versatile and tasteful instrumental artistry, and his vision and inclusiveness as a bandleader.


I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the mental health care system in Iowa is in bad shape.
In 2016, WHO-TV reported Iowa was ranked the second worst state in the country for mental health care. More recently, a poll from late last year found the majority of Iowans disapprove of how state lawmakers are handling mental health issues.
One of the main issues the state faces is a shortage of mental hospital beds, especially given the fact that in 2015, Gov. Branstad closed two of the state's four mental institutes.
The idea behind closing those state hospitals was that they were expensive and that patients would better be served at smaller, community-based centers. However, the reality was that this decision resulted in less care for Iowans because the state has, up to this point, lacked smaller care centers.
In 2018, though, change may be on the way.
c) create a 24-hour "crisis line" for Iowans to call and speak with an expert about their mental health and treatment options.
Foxhaven acknowledged the plan, which is set to be included in an upcoming legislative bill, won't be a panacea to all of Iowa's mental health care problems but would at least be a step forward.
Peggy Huppert, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Iowa, has also been involved in developing the new mental health care plan. In the article, she's compares Iowa's mental health care system to a clogged plumbing system, since the remaining mental health facilities have become overcrowded.
If all goes according to plan, the proposed access centers would both alleviate the burden on existing mental facilities and would be strategically placed so that, "no Iowans would be more than 90 minutes from one," Huppert said.
The centers would also be a welcome relief to sheriffs' departments across the state, since they often receive calls from people who are in need of treatment. Deputies must then transport patient to the nearest available facility, which depending on geographic location, can be hundreds of miles away.
While it still remains to be seen how this plan, if and when it is signed into law, will improve the state of mental health care in Iowa, it's clear that mental health has emerged as one of the most prominent issues of the 2018 state election cycle.
With any luck, state lawmakers, along with help from organizations like NAMI Iowa, local law enforcement and health care experts, will be able to come together this year to implement reforms that will drastically improve mental health care for all Iowans.

Appeal by El Mercado Owners to Halt Affordable and Supportive Housing Project at 1st and Lorena Denied
The 49-unit project will be split between affordable housing for vets and their families and families experiencing homelessness

Today, City Council finally moved to allow the 49-unit affordable and supportive housing project planned for the Metro-owned lot by nonprofit developer A Community of Friends (ACOF) at 1st and Lorena to proceed. The final project will be split between 24 affordable units targeting low-income veterans and their families and 24 units reserved for families experiencing homelessness (including 12 for families with disabilities). The project will have on-site case managers to serve residents, offer 10,000 square feet of retail space, and host community-serving amenities, including a fitness center and childcare services that will be open to the public.
The resolution of the years-long process to get the project approved was surprisingly anticlimactic at a council meeting marked by protests over the acceptance of a donation of drones for use by SWAT and numerous appeals from supporters of the She Does campaign to see dollars from Measure HHH put to work faster so that 1,000 homeless women could be housed by August of this year.
Most of those that stood to speak on the motion to deny the appeal lodged by ACOF's would-be neighbor, El Mercado, argued in support of allowing the project to go forward.
Chief among them was Fanny Ortiz, a Boyle Heights resident and former member of the neighborhood council there, who described her family as one that might once have qualified for the kind of housing planned for the Lorena site. People like herself, who have experienced homelessness and who have family members with special needs, she argued, deserve a safe place to be as they work to get their feet back underneath them.
Her heartfelt testimony, when combined with the general public comments made regarding the vulnerability of homeless women to abuse, made a far more compelling case for the project than Silverstein Law Firm lawyer Daniel Wright managed to make against it. Representing the owners of El Mercado, Wright tried to argue that it was unjust to put housing for some of the "most needy in our community" on potentially toxic land (the site is home to a "dry hole" oil well nearly 4,6oo feet below the surface that was plugged in 1949 because it was not commercially viable).
Considering, however, that so many of El Mercado's original objections appeared to have been inspired by cynical expectations that their neighbors would be both a nuisance and a drain on police services – complaints leveled against El Mercado itself when it looked to expand its footprint (see here and here) – the concerns Wright voiced about the well-being of homeless families rang hollow.
The staff report on the appeal considered both ACOF's commitment to conducting a Phase 2 environmental study prior to breaking ground and the changes made to the design and scope of the project to limit the potential for residents to infringe upon El Mercado's operations – and found them sufficient to address the owners' concerns.
As noted in a story last week, the promised mitigation measures include seeking funding to have a third staff member onsite (in addition to the two case managers already slated to offer round-the-clock supportive services to tenants), installing security cameras and adding on-site security personnel, and having tenants sign agreements acknowledging the restaurant hours and operations at El Mercado (implying they wouldn't interfere with El Mercado's operations). Design changes included the removal of all windows and openings facing El Mercado, the use of thicker walls and insulation to reduce sound on the side facing El Mercado, setting back the building from 1st Street to ensure El Mercado remained visible to those approaching it from the west, widening the alley between the building and El Mercado, signage reminding residents they cannot park at El Mercado, and parking stickers given to residents so their cars could be easily identified. An on-site YMCA facility and childcare services meant to serve both building residents and the public would help integrate the project better into the life of the community while meeting important shared needs.
The proposed Lorena Plaza apartments will sit at the corner of 1st and Lorena, next to El Mercado. Sahra Sulaiman/Streetsblog L.A.
Councilmember José Huizar's comments on the project also seemed to suggest that his own call for a Phase 2 study was not as significant a factor as it was made out to be last August, when the CEQA appeal was first granted.
In light of the impact Exide and other polluters had had on the community's health, Huizar said, a Phase 2 study was indeed important to ensure no additional harm would be imposed upon residents. But his discussions with ACOF had left him feeling reassured that the mitigation measures they proposed – including conducting the Phase 2 study before permits were pulled – would adequately safeguard the health of the community.
Instead, he continued, the main issue he had had with ACOF had always been trust. When he had first seen the project come before the Metro board several years ago, he said, it had contained a large retail component – something he saw as vital to the the burgeoning retail and pedestrian corridor. The next time the project came before the board, it not only offered less than one fifth of the retail space originally proposed, neither he nor the community had been advised of the changes ahead of time.
It was therefore not NIMBYism that was behind his rejection of the project, he reiterated. On the contrary, Boyle Heights was home to more than its fair share of affordable and supportive housing projects. This case, he insisted, hinged on a breach of trust that ran deep enough for his office to discontinue communications with ACOF for the bulk of the intervening years.
It was a lesson he hoped other developers seeking to build similar projects in his and other districts would take to heart – that trust must first be built with the community.
Of course, the problem in getting supportive housing approved is generally less a question of trust of the developer and more one of residents within communities not trusting that the people they believe will populate those developments will make good neighbors. The (non-binding) pledge several councilmembers made just last week to back the approval of at least 222 units of supportive housing in their respective districts over the next year and a half was, in part, to give themselves some cover for when such projects come across their desks.
A 49-unit project where only 24 units will serve the homeless population is but a drop in the bucket when L.A.'s homelessness problem is as vast as it is. Hopefully the denial of this appeal makes the approval of future projects that much easier.

How the Bush Administration Is Flouting the Current Special Counsel Regulations,
And Why the Independent Counsel Law May Not Have Been Such a Bad Idea After All
Friday, Feb. 11, 2005
Recently, National Public Radio's "Justice Talking" program asked former Independent Counsel (IC) Kenneth Starr, and yours truly, to discuss the defunct independent counsel law.
Starr is also a former Solicitor General of the United States, and a former judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Currently, he is the Dean of the Pepperdine University School of Law - a position he plainly enjoys a great deal. In addition, he continues to consult and assist in major litigation, thus keeping his considerable legal talents well honed.
Our discussion occurred on the Pepperdine campus before a live audience.
The show -- hosted by Margot Adler - will soon air.
For me, it was an enlightening session -- but not in any manner I had expected, as I will explain.
Why the Independent Counsel Law Was Allowed to Expire
To begin, some background is in order. The Independent Counsel law was enacted by Congress in 1978, in the aftermath of Watergate. By creating a type of prosecutor who would be independent of the Department of Justice, Congress sought to assure Americans that high level officials could be investigated, and, if necessary, prosecuted, free of any conflicts of interest.
This law was re-enacted on three occasions (with only slight modifications): 1983, 1987, and 1994. In renewing the law in 1994, Congress ignored Judge Scalia's prescient dissent in Morrison v. Olson, which anticipated how the law might be abused and argued that the law was unconstitutional. (Judge Starr agrees with Scalia on this point. Indeed, he has testified against the law.)
The law expired on June 30, 1999. By then, Republicans and Democrats alike concluded that it was an experiment that had not worked; so did the Justice Department, which recommended that it be allowed to expire.
The law had several fatal problems. First, it had a hair trigger: It was too easily invoked. As a result, over $200 million was spent on sundry inquiries with nominal results.
Second, it failed to serve its purpose of making the public more confident about the government; it was making the public more cynical instead. The public witnessed how the IC laws' operation was tinged throughout with politics - the very taint the law had sought to remove.
Third, it seemed to invite harassment: Some independent counsels treated high government officials like low-life Mafia figures -- investigating them endlessly until some violation was found, or until a violation (in the form of a cover-up, or a false, misleading, or incomplete statement) occurred as a result of the Independent Counsel's investigation.
One Alternative Future: What If Judge Starr Had Never Become an IC?
It occurred to me during our discussion that if Ken Starr had not taken the IC post, when asked by the special court that selects these prosecutors, there is little doubt that today he would be on President George Bush's short list as a potential nominee for the Supreme Court.
Of course, Starr might still be on the short list anyway, but it's very unlikely. There are other potential conservative nominees who share Starr's impressive credentials and ability, but who have not been a target of intense Democratic wrath.
Such asperity may be the inevitable fate of ICs who investigate presidents. There have been only two: Starr, who investigated President Clinton's Whitewater investment and his relationship with Monica Lewinsky, and Lawrence Walsh. Walsh, also a former federal judge, investigated President Reagan and Vice President George H. W. Bush and several of their high level aides regarding the Iran Contra scandal.
Both Walsh and Starr have impeccable reputations and great ability. Yet, as ICs, both experienced sustained attacks on their character, probity and wisdom -- by defenders of the presidents they were investigating.
In hindsight, the venom shouldn't have been surprising; Presidents, and their surrogates, are going to defend themselves more than zealously. (I know a little about this, from the Nixon Administration, and it is not pleasant. Thus, I have a certain empathy for those who seek to unravel wrongs.)
Another Alternative Future: What if There Were a Valerie Plame IC Investigation?
Besides contemplating what might have happened had Kenneth Starr declined the IC position, I also thought about what the world would look like if the IC law still existed.
Possibly, the whole "weapons of mass destruction" affair might have given rise to an IC investigation. And certainly the Valerie Plame investigation - in which sources identified by Robert Novak as two senior administration officials leaked her identity as a CIA agent -- would be run by an IC. (For more on this ongoing investigation, see my most recent column on the topic for this site.)
Instead, the Plame matter is being handled by a special counsel. When the IC law expired in 1999, the Justice Department recognized that it still had to deal with conflicts of interest. To do so, it drafted extensive regulations to govern the selection, operations, and funding of "special counsels."
Unfortunately, the Bush Administration is ignoring those regulations. It is entitled to repeal them - but it ought not simply to pretend they do not exist.
The regulations state: "The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government." However, the Plame Special Counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, was - and still is - the U.S. Attorney from the Northern District of Illinois.
The regulations also state that "Special Counsels shall agree that their responsibilities as Special Counsel shall take first precedence in their professional lives, and that it may be necessary to devote their full time to the investigation, depending on its complexity and the stage of the investigation." But Fitzgerald remains in his U.S. Attorney position - a position that is typically a very demanding full-time job.
Meanwhile, it's not clear if Fitzgerald's funding is proper, either. On September 30, 2004, the General Accounting Office (GAO), in the course of a routine audit, discovered that he is being funded by the same appropriation used to fund IC's. (There is still one IC in existence, who has been in business since 1995, and seems unable to complete his final report). The GAO Report claims that it is all right for Fitzgerald to draw on the IC law funds, for he was selected under "other law" which was within that appropriation - but this seems like fancy legal footwork.
The result of all this is that, as a result of a breach of regulations, Patrick Fitzgerald serves in an unsupervised position with authority equal to that of the Attorney General himself - yet he is not subject to the restraints that fall upon an Attorney General. (Presumably, Alberto Gonzales will recuse himself from this matter, just as John Ashcroft did - for reasons I discussed in a prior column.)
Bush's Justice Department Is Not Playing By Its Own Rules
Those Justice Department regulations had a purpose, and it was to avoid conflicts of interest and divided loyalties. Now, we are stuck with both.
An ambitious Republican U.S. Attorney like Patrick Fitzgerald was an especially poor choice for this position. As the regulations stated, an acceptable choice would have been someone truly outside the federal government.
While some local U.S. Attorney's Offices may be somewhat independent of the Department of Justice, they are hardly outside it; indeed, they typically consult the DOJ's own manual on policy questions. As a Justice Department employee, Fitzgerald had a conflict of interest - just as Ashcroft did. Yet unlike Ashcroft, he failed to recuse himself.
In addition, it disserves both the American public in general, and the citizens of the Northern District of Illinois in particular, for Patrick Fitzgerald to moonlight in both of these jobs. There's a reason the regulations anticipated that some special counsel positions might be full-time employment - and this ought to be one of them.
Few matters are more serious than the exposure of a CIA agent's identity - a revelation that puts both the agent and, potentially, many others in jeopardy of life and limb. When the exposure seems to be an act of political revenge, the matter is even more grave. And when the revenge is reportedly taken by two (or more) senior Administration officials, the issue is even weightier. This matter deserves Fitzgerald's full attention.
If the IC law had still been in force, this would not have occurred. The problem, then, would not have been investigative laxness; if anything, ICs were overzealous. Moreover, those ICs who investigated high-level officials with respect to serious charges - Walsh is one example - burned the midnight oil doing so.
If an IC were on the job, then, some money might be being wasted, and a bit of overzealousness might be observed. But are we really worried about overzealousness toward those who willfully outed a CIA agent - an act that is federal crime, as I have discussed in a previous column? Lives, and potentially lifesaving intelligence, are at stake.
Moreover, if an IC were on the job, we would know by now who, exactly, leaked Plame's identity. Novak apparently is not a target; other reporters (with peripheral knowledge) have been ordered to testify. Meanwhile, Administration officials have -reportedly, at least - been told to cooperate.
So why isn't the case solved? Could it be because Fitzgerald - burdened with ambition and reluctant to bite the hand that still feeds him - doesn't want to solve it?
It almost makes you nostalgic for the old IC law, doesn't it?
