A New Popularity for Socialism (Thanks To The GOP)
April 11, 2009 — Ron Chusid
On Thursday Rasmussen came out with a poll showing that "Only 53% of American adults believe capitalism is better than socialism." It is difficult to say much about this poll as it does not define the terms. Confusing matters even more, last December a survey showed that 70% of Americans prefer a free-market economy.
I see these surveys as largely being a test of reaction to words such as capitalism and socialism as opposed to having much meaning with regards to what type of economic system Americans really prefer. There may be some meaning to the fact that there is not a more negative view of socialism.
While Obama is no socialist the right has repeatedly been making such claims. This was a common attack during the presidential campaign. The right received further fuel for such bogus attacks from the bail out plans (putting aside the fact that this began during Bush's term).
I've often mocked the attacks on Obama for being a socialist because the attacks are so blatantly untrue. This turned out even worse than expected for the right. With the policies of the right being so unpopular and with Obama's tremendous popularity, many Americans see any label attacked to Obama as favorable. Claiming that Obama is a socialist wound up making socialism a more favorable-sounding word as opposed to tarnishing Obama's reputation.
As an opponent of socialism I have mixed feelings on this poll. Socialism, like Republican economic policies, is based upon placing ideology over reality and leads to disaster. Socialism is a word which deserves a low popularity, and should not be competitive with capitalism in such polls. On the other hand, after seeing the McCarthyist tactics of the right there is a certain satisfaction in seeing false attacks on Obama as being a socialist backfire so badly against them. Perhaps this will dissuade conservatives from making such untrue claims.
Update: The New York Times front page at present has an item from The Opininator which summarizes blog reaction on this poll in a prominent position. I note that some bloggers interpreted the poll in a similar manner. For example, Steve Benen wrote:
In terms of interpreting these results, the numbers certainly aren't what I expected, and it's hard to know why respondents answered as they did. Perhaps "capitalism" lost some of its appeal when our economy collapsed. Maybe a lot of people heard the media connect Obama and "socialism," and since they like the president, they figure socialism can't be that bad. In a similar vein, if right-wing blowhards like Limbaugh keep screaming that socialism is manifestly evil, there may be some who assume the economic model must have merit.
Mark Thompson wrote:
When you falsely complain that every single thing your opponents try to do is socialism and absurdly hold your bloviating, unpopular selves up as bastions of capitalism, you probably shouldn't be surprised when people start thinking socialism doesn't look so bad, and capitalism doesn't look so good. So suggests, in part, Chris Good. Let the record reflect that I predicted this, in full, on November 5, 2008. Heckuva job guys, heckuva job.
Mark is correct that connecting capitalism with Republican polices doesn't do it any favors. As I've previously quoted libertarian Will Wilkinson as writing, "the great success of the GOP over the last eight years has been to destroy the reputation of free markets and limited government by deploying its rhetoric and then doing the opposite."

Also, the memory of the Soviet Union is fading, and with it the American view of socialism.
As a socialist, I have mixed feelings about this as well. It appears that it's a "cool kids hipster" move, as opposed to actually believing in the theory. But who knows? Perhaps the GOP's constant attacks will de-stigmatize socialism and communism.
Eclectic Radical says:
'Socialism' can mean quite a few things. I am an economic capitalist, though I believe that government regulation and sometimes intervention) is necessary to serve as a check and balance on corporate action just as we have checks and balances in our government. I do believe that certain forms of temporary 'socialism' are acceptable in an emergency, I tend to lean toward Paul Krugman's opinion that temporary nationalization of the banks would be more cost effective and allow a more thorough settling of affairs. I am not willing to say it is the only alternative, I believe that the bail-out could settle the banks' affairs as well, it will simply be more expensive and less efficient. Indeed, it appears to be working so far, though judgment is far from in.
However, while I believe in a capitalist and democratic system, I consider myself a democratic socialist and consider the original core philosophical principle of the individual's responsibility to society, business's responsibility to the community, and the society's responsibility to the individuals that make it up regardless of their economic station to be key to a just and moral society.
I suppose I am one of Rand's evil altruists.
Ron Chusid says:
April 11th 2009 at 5:26 pm
Rand would have been so much more tolerable if she defended capitalism and an individual's right to look after their own self-interest without branding altruism as an outright evil. Of course if she had taken a more nuanced approach and recognized the rights of others to have values different from hers she would not be the same Ayn Rand who has developed such a following.
Christopher Skyi says:
Here's Rand's original (and unique?) definition of Altruism.
So — question: how do these definitions and positions square with those of today's self-described altruists/socialists?
"What is the moral code of altruism? The basic principle of altruism is that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that service to others is the only justification of his existence, and that self-sacrifice is his highest moral duty, virtue and value.
Do not confuse altruism with kindness, good will or respect for the rights of others. These are not primaries, but consequences, which, in fact, altruism makes impossible. The irreducible primary of altruism, the basic absolute, is self-sacrifice—which means; self-immolation, self-abnegation, self-denial, self-destruction—which means: the self as a standard of evil, the selfless as a standard of the good.
Do not hide behind such superficialities as whether you should or should not give a dime to a beggar. That is not the issue. The issue is whether you do or do not have the right to exist without giving him that dime. The issue is whether you must keep buying your life, dime by dime, from any beggar who might choose to approach you. The issue is whether the need of others is the first mortgage on your life and the moral purpose of your existence. The issue is whether man is to be regarded as a sacrificial animal. Any man of self-esteem will answer: "No." Altruism says: "Yes."
Her definition seems to inherit from Thomas Paine's:
"Human rights originate in Nature, thus, rights cannot be granted via political charter, because that implies that rights are legally revocable, hence, would be privileges:
It is a perversion of terms to say that a charter gives rights. It operates by a contrary effect — that of taking rights away. Rights are inherently in all the inhabitants; but charters, by annulling those rights, in the majority, leave the right, by exclusion, in the hands of a few . . . They . . . consequently are instruments of injustice.
The fact, therefore, must be that the individuals, themselves, each, in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a compact with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist.
Government's sole purpose is safeguarding the individual and his/her inherent, inalienable rights; each societal institution that does not benefit the nation is illegitimate — especially the Monarchy, the Nobility, and the Military. The book's acumen derives from the Age of Enlightenment, especially from the Second Treatise of Government, by John Locke."
Sorry — my formatting was awful. I'm not use to this blog's comment editor. Let me try again.
Here's Rand's original (and unique?) definition of Altruism. Below I've included Thomas Paine's.
RAND:
Thomas Paine's:
Paine was a socialist, by modern definition, whose economic ideas were entirely incompatible with those of Rand. In many ways he set a tone that foreshadows much of Durkheim, Engels, and Marx. I am always amused to see conservatives and libertarians quote liberally from 'Common Sense' and 'The Rights of Man' while ignoring 'Agrarian Justice.'
Paine believed that every individual naturally deserved an entirely full and equal political and social status, and advocated leveling social welfare policies designed to restrict wealth and eliminate poverty. 'The compact with each other' of which Paine spoke is the 'society' of which I speak when I call myself a socialist.
My definition of government is based on Paine's, and my view of the dangers posed to individual political and social rights by an unbalanced concentration of economic rights is likewise based on Paine. We break company in that Paine was a utopian and I am a realist.
I agree with Paine's arguments about the nature of rights, for precisely the reason he foresaw: strict constructionist conservatives are determined to firmly limit human rights to those clearly elucidated by government.
Fritz says:
Hey, Eclectic — I am currently reading http://www.amazon.com/Trouble-Tom-Strange-Afterlife-Thomas/dp/1582345023/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1239775952&sr=1-1
It is a hoot.
That does look as if it would be an interesting read. Currently, I am enmeshed in reading John Taylor Gatto's 'Undergound History of American Education.' I am enjoying the mixture of truly adept critique of the way American schooling with religious wing-nuttery and paranoid fantasies about the Illuminati.
April 15th 2009 at 12:35 pm
Eclectic — do you think Paine's vision of leveling policies would scale up far past the model of an agrarian village?
I'm not sure Paine is completely incompatible with Rand — it's just that Rand saw the Russian Revolution. Of course, Paine saw the French Revolution, but the Russian version was much more thorough in targeting small farmers.
April 16th 2009 at 12:08 am
Rand's fundamental vision was complete individualism, without responsibility to one's fellow man. Personal freedom to do as one pleased is more important than social responsibility and, indeed, the very idea of social responsibility is immoral and self-destructive. Paine believed in the essential responsibility of society to all its individual members, and in the basic right to full equality… not just political or social, but also economic.
In Rand's utopia everyone just works hard and they are all rich without anyone's help. In Paine's utopia, poverty is eliminated and wealth greatly restricted because of society's active policy of supporting its members.
Yes. I would say that is incompatible.
And yet, Rand's heroes kept showing responsibility both for each other and for non-heroes. They just did not do so out of a sense that they must sacrifice themselves for others. In some ways, this is oddly parallel to the ways that evolution is reconciled to apparent altruism.
That's one of the basic flaws in Rand's thinking… responsibility is a social evil but an individual good. Requiring people to be responsible or building a government on responsibility is evil, but good people are responsible.
Responsibility is not a choice, one is responsible. The choice is whether to face or evade responsibility. Conservatives seek to evade social responsibility by reducing it to a matter of personal choice in a self-centered universe. Yet they preach personal responsibility.
One cannot be personally responsible without fulfilling one's social responsibilities. The conservative theory of 'personal responsibility' is a high-minded way of saying 'it's not my fault, so it's not my problem.'
That is not responsibility of any kind.
Eclectic — as you might imagine, I don't see that as a flaw. It makes perfect sense to me that a trait that is good in individual life becomes destructive when built into an institution. Especially a nation-wide institution.
Scale matters. That's what is so infuriating about "It takes a village". The village is not the family writ large, and the nation is definitely not the village write gigantic.
Certainly, scale matters. However, if the family is beating the crap out of the child, the village needs to do something. By the same notion, if the village were beating the crap out of the child, the nation would need to do something. Power works both ways, local government is equally capable of authoritarian abuses and national government is equally capable of protecting citizens from such abuses.
The problem with utopian concepts of absolute freedom from all constraint is that volia gives the power to abuse others to those who wish to use their freedom to abuse others. A truly free society includes each member's responsibilities to respect his neighbor's freedoms, which necessarily imposes some constraints. Utopian views of democracy and anarchy are every bit as destructive, in the end, as utopian views of socialism.
We have had such periods in human history. Most people do not wish to live in them.

Serious houses: The Lud Heat Tapes, 1979
Goldmark hardcover, 1987.
The old maps present a sky-line dominated by church towers; those horizons were differently punctured, so that the subservience of the grounded eye, & the division of the city by nome-wound, was not disguised. Moving now on an eastern arc the churches of Nicholas Hawksmoor soon invade the consciousness, the charting instinct. Eight churches give us the enclosure, the shape of the fear; – built for early century optimism, erected over a fen of undisclosed horrors, white stones laid upon the mud & dust. In this air certain hungers were activated that have yet to be pacified; no turning back, as Yeats claims: "the stones once set up traffic with the enemy."
—Iain Sinclair, Lud Heat
A serious house on serious earth it is
—Philip Larkin, Church Going
"Serious" is a word with many meanings. The Oxford English Dictionary gives one of these as "attended with danger; giving cause for anxiety", a definition that wouldn't suit Philip Larkin's poem describing a visit to a moribund country church, but which is easily applied to a longer cycle of poems by Iain Sinclair. Lud Heat: A Book of the Dead Hamlets is the collection of writings that lifted Sinclair's authorial profile out of the poetry ghetto in which he'd been situated throughout the 1970s. He published the first edition via his own Albion Village Press in 1975 but it wasn't until the arrival of Peter Ackroyd's Hawksmoor a decade later that wider public attention began to turn in Sinclair's direction. Lud Heat set out for the first time a series of observations concerning the peculiar and sinister qualities of the churches built by Nicholas Hawksmoor in 18th-century London: Christ Church, Spitalfields; St George's, Bloomsbury; St Mary Woolnoth; St George in the East; St Anne's, Limehouse; St Alfege Church, Greenwich; plus those built in collaboration with John James: St Luke Old Street, and St John Horsleydown. The book separates the poetry with prose pieces—diary extracts, accounts of a film viewing and an art exhibition—that anticipate the author's subsequent explorations of London's margins and esoterica. Like many of Sinclair's later writings, the texts in the early editions are accompanied by a variety of illustrations: engravings, contemporary photographs, and a map of London drawn by Brian Catling that posits a network of "lines of influence…invisible rods of force" connecting the churches with each other and with significant locations such as William Blake's house, Cleopatra's Needle and so on. Paperback reprints omitted the illustrations* but retained the map which was redrawn by Dave McKean. The new version gave greater emphasis to the Egyptian symbols that Sinclair and Catling had scattered across the city: jackal-headed Anubis as as the presiding deity of the Isle of Dogs.

Lud Heat is a beguiling and potent book; it's also a book that's of its time in its suggestion of malefic "rods of force" scored across the capital. Sinclair's map may be the earliest artistic development of a process begun in 1969 when John Michell published The View Over Atlantis, an elaboration of ideas set forth in his earlier volume, The Flying Saucer Vision. Michell's free-wheeling speculations gave new life to the innocuous studies of Alfred Watkins, inflating amateur archaeological ruminations into full-blown Aquarian metaphysics. Where Watkins considered that "ley lines" (a term of his own invention) might have been ancient trading routes, Michell's enthusiasm for the full range of Fortean phenomena transmuted the alleged paths into channels of unspecified "earth energy", flying-saucer guides, and the axes of a sacred geometry. Other crank scholars were eager to follow Michell's lead, leaving an opening for Sinclair to adopt the conceit for its poetic resonances; the New Age trappings were inverted to reveal a darker pattern more suited to London's history of plague, murder and mass destruction. (The Hawksmoor churches had been built to compensate for the devastations of the Great Fire of 1666; two of them were hit by bombs during the Blitz, with one being damaged beyond repair.) This isn't to suggest that Sinclair was borrowing directly from Watkins and Michell; in an interview he mentions an earlier precursor of both his map and Watkins' ley lines in Prehistoric London: Its Mounds and Circles (1914) by Elizabeth O. Gordon. But something was in the air in the 1970s. Lud Heat appeared shortly before the release of a pair of albums that borrowed heavily from Michell's books—Green (1978) by Steve Hillage, and Blake's New Jerusalem (1978) by Tim Blake—and two TV serials that exploited the idea of ley lines as channels of earth energy: Children of the Stones (1977) and Nigel Kneale's Quatermass (1979). Lud Heat stands apart from these works by concentrating on urban structures rather than isolated monoliths and ancient pathways. The suggestion that the city of London could be home to mysterious "rods of force" is an especially intriguing one, hence the appropriation of the idea by Peter Ackroyd in Hawksmoor and Alan Moore in From Hell. Any church of a sufficient size or age is a kind of time machine, maintaining in its appearance and its grounds a pocket of history separated from the changes that take place around it. The churches in Lud Heat are also batteries of stone, impregnated with the unspent energies of the dead who lie in their crypts. These latent forces overflow their containers, spilling into the streets beyond the church walls. Sinclair has always been adamant that his Lud Heat map is a fabrication; the degree to which he believes in the rest of his thesis is for the reader to decide. It is a fact that St George in the East is close to the location of the Ratcliffe Highway Murders of 1811 (Sinclair includes a illustration of the murderer's corpse in Lud Heat), while Christ Church, Spitalfields, sits at the centre of maps of the Jack the Ripper murders; the fifth and most brutal of these occurred a short distance from that colossal porch on the opposite side of Commercial Street. "Dead Hamlets" also has many meanings.

Cal Thomas: Socialism's cyclical appeal
By Cal ThomasTribune Content
Like swallows returning to Capistrano, socialism makes an appearance on a regular cycle.
The current presidential campaign features self-confessed socialist Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who doesn't self-describe as a socialist, but whose policies closely resemble those of Sanders.
Sanders has the luxury of condemning millionaires and billionaires from his comfortable life as a multi-millionaire. As Forbes magazine has reported, "Sanders … has amassed an estimated $2.5 million fortune from real estate, investments, government pensions — and earnings from three books." Sanders is also quoted, "I wrote a bestselling book. If you write a bestselling book, you can be a millionaire, too."
Sanders appears to favor capitalism for himself, but he's against it for everyone else.
Socialism is a false doctrine. It sells itself to new generations who know little about it. They promote it by promising "free stuff," along with envy of the successful.
Why does socialism continue to have appeal in America? Part of the reason is adherents claim it is fairer than capitalism. It isn't fair, socialists say, that some people make more money than others.
Socialism and its twin sister liberalism have always been about feelings, rather than outcome. That so many liberal programs have failed to achieve stated objectives does not matter to the left. Apparently, it is intent, not success, that counts. When liberals or socialists fail, they simply go on to new errors.
Amity Shlaes has written a new book about socialism's appeal and how on several occasions we have come close to embracing it. It's called "Great Society: A New History." President Lyndon Johnson promised to end poverty in America, but Shlaes writes, "After the 1960s, official poverty stabilized at 10 to 15 percent. In fact, what the War on Poverty and the new flood of benefits DID do was the opposite of prevent — they established a new kind of poverty, a permanent sense of downtroddenness. They washed away hope."
Just as New Deal programs exceeded their usefulness after the Great Depression (but manage to enjoy a type of eternal life), so, too, have the Great Society programs. Why don't people know this? "Nothing is new, it is just forgotten," goes the adage.
As with much of the media, bias is not only expressed in how and what is covered, but even more in what is omitted. Count on modern history textbooks to recall America's "original sin," slavery, a stain that can never be allowed to go away, rather than the much-improved lives and jobs experienced by contemporary African Americans.
If neither Sanders nor Warren become president, that won't mean socialism will have lost. There's another generation not yet born that could likely be seduced by it.

PETALING JAYA: The National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) launched the SSPN Savings Week to encourage more parents and other groups in the community to save for their children's education.
"We hope non-governmental organisations and religious leaders would also come forward to encourage this savings culture as they have access to communities in their areas," said PTPTN chairman Wan Saiful Wan Jan.
"It is our target to collect RM1.5mil through the opening of 1,300 new National Education Savings Scheme (SSPN) accounts nationwide within three days of our Savings Week campaign.
"We have collected RM50,000 from old and new account holders on the first day of the Savings Week campaign launched at 1Utama Shopping Centre alone," he said.
Wan Saiful said SSPN received good response from the parents and individuals due to its attractive tax exemption of up to RM6,000 a year.
As at Aug 31, there are 3.67 million SSPN accounts with savings amounting to RM3.8bil, he said.

Analysis of the erythropoietin receptor gene in patients with myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic syndromes
Moshe Mittelman*, Joseph Gardyn, Miri Carmel, Hanna Malovani, Yigal Barak, Uri Nir
The human erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) gene has been cloned and characterized. Very few EpoR genetic abnormalities have been reported so far. Polycythemia vera (PV) is characterized by low/normal serum erythropoietin (Epo) levels with proposed Epo hypersensitivity. Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are characterized by refractory anemia with variable serum Epo levels. Several reports have suggested EpoR abnormalities in both types of stem cell disorders. We analyzed DNA obtained from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of seven healthy controls, 20 patients with myeloproliferative disorders (MPD, 11 patients with PV, five agnogenic myeloid metaplasia with myelofibrosis, four essential thrombocytosis) and eight patients with refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS), an MDS variant. The DNA was digested with four restriction enzymes (BamHI, Bgl II, Sacl and HindIII), followed by Southern blot, using a 32P radiolabeled probe, containing 1.5 kb of the human EpoR cDNA. All 20 MPD patients and seven out of the eight MDS patients demonstrated a restriction pattern which was identical to the seven normal controls, as well as to the erythroid cell line K562, and also consistent with the expected restriction map, for all four enzymes tested. One RARS patient had a normal pattern with three enzymes but a different one with HindIII. The HindIII 12 kb large band was replaced by a faint 12 kb band and a new (about 9 kb) band appeared. The EpoR restriction map and the normal pattern obtained with the other three enzymes suggest that this patient has a 3 kb upstream deletion in one allelic EpoR gene. The same molecular pattern was detected in the patient's sister, who suffers from anemia with mild bone marrow (BM) dyserythropoiesis and plasmacytosis. Northern blot analysis showed that the patient's BM RNA carried normal EpoR message. This familial pattern may represent polymorphism. However, the patient's very high serum Epo level, her resistance to treatment with recombinant Epo, and the abnormally low growth rate of in vitro erythroid cultures, suggesting poor response to Epo in this MDS patient as well as the hematological abnormalities in her sister, support the speculation that the different EpoR gene might serve as a genetic predisposing marker and potentially could be involved (probably via post-transcriptional mechanisms and by an interaction with other factors or cytokines) in the pathogenesis. Our data suggest that the EpoR is intact in MPD and in most patients with RARS. One RARS patient had a familial different genetic structure, which could represent polymorphism. However, we can speculate also that it might be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Natalie Batalha is a Kepler Mission scientist responsible for the extraordinarily successful Kepler satellite's program to detect Earth-like exoplanets that potentially can sustain life. She is now also working on the James Webb Space Telescope, due for launch in 2018, which will largely replace Hubble, and also on WFIRST, the Wide-field Infrared Survey Telescope (launch mid-2020s).
A Planet for Goldilocks: The Search for Evidence of Life Beyond Earth "Not too hot, not too cold" begins the prescription for a world that's just right for life as we know it. Finding evidence of life beyond Earth is one of the primary goals of science agencies around the world thanks in large part to NASA's Kepler Mission. Operating since March 2009, the mission's objective is to determine the fraction of stars that harbour potentially habitable, Earth-size planets. Indeed, the space telescope opened our eyes to the terrestrial-sized planets that populate the Galaxy as well as exotic worlds unlike anything that exists in the solar system. The mission ignited the search for life beyond Earth via the remote detection of atmospheric biosignatures on exoplanets. Most recently, the discovery of Goldilocks worlds orbiting some of the nearest neighbours to the Sun captured our imaginations and turned abstractions into destinations. Dr Batalha will give an overview of the science legacy of the Kepler mission and other key discoveries. She'll give a preview of what's to come by highlighting the missions soon to launch and those that are concepts taking shape on the drawing board.

He was originally from Hong Kong and he organized a light off event at Hong Kong during 2009. He will talk at the Starlight Festival about issues of light pollution and stargazing. He has offered talks in Chinese for our Asian visitors as well as in English.
The threats of LEDs to astronomy and build a dark sky friendly future Light pollution is a global issue and the situation is becoming worse by the rapid use of LEDs. LEDs were designed to be an energy-efficient lighting device that could minimize the energy impact for the planet, however, LED is rich in blue color and is quite harmful for astronomy, health and the nature. The speaker will also talk about different dark sky actions that could be act on, including his own example in the heavily light polluted city - Hong Kong.
Kevin Govender began work at the International Astronomical Union's Office of Astronomy for Development (OAD) in Cape Town, South ASfrica in March 2011 as its first Director.

They ate oatmeal, they downed coffee, and they smothered their bodies with anti-chafe sticks. Then they shuffled onto Staten Island, waiting for what felt like ages, mostly in line for port-a-potties. Finally, the starter's gun signaled GO, and off they went across the Verrazano Bridge, through Brooklyn, the Bronx, and the Upper East Side. Photographer Daniel Arnold kept his eye open for the stand-outs: Marlene taking a selfie with her flip phone, cheerleaders on the roadside with homemade signs, and the nutty runners who braved the 26.2 mile course in Halloween costumes that weren't what we'd refer to as breathable fabrics.


Colorado has lost its most dependable offensive lineman for the rest of the season.
Sophomore guard/center Tim Lynott, Jr., suffered a torn Achilles tendon early in the second quarter of the Buffaloes' 41-30 loss at Arizona State on Saturday night.
Head coach Mike MacIntyre gave the official news on Monday and said Lynott will have surgery on Wednesday.
"He'll definitely be out for spring ball," MacIntyre said. "We'll get him back in the summer before camp and he'll be ready to go in camp, I was told, full speed."
The news on safety Ryan Moeller was more encouraging. The senior went down in the second half at ASU with an apparent leg injury, and MacIntyre feared the worst that night. On Monday, however, he said there's a chance Moeller could return this season.
"We're still holding out hope," MacIntyre said.
Unfortunately for Lynott, the focus is now on a long rehabilitation process with an eye on next year.
"Really tough for Timmy," MacIntyre said. "He was really playing well and that hurts our offensive line, to say the least."
Lynott is the only player to start on the offensive line for each of CU's 24 games over the past two years. He started all 14 games in 2016 at right guard, and has made six starts at that position this year.
Saturday's game at ASU was Lynott's fourth start at center this year, as he has filled in at times for injured senior Jonathan Huckins. Lynott started the past two games at center with Huckins recovering from a concussion, but Huckins, who was cleared last week, replaced Lynott in the lineup on Saturday.
"Tim's a warrior," quarterback Steven Montez said after the game Saturday. "Whatever (the injury) is I'm sure he'll come back stronger than ever. I definitely know he'll come back stronger than he was."
Going forward, the Buffs are used to shuffling pieces on their offensive line, and will have to do that more without Lynott.
As long as he's healthy, Huckins figures to start at center. Aaron Haigler figures to remain at right guard, where he has played when Lynott has filled in at center. Haigler has 10 career starts at right tackle and four at guard this season.
Seniors Jeromy Irwin (left tackle) and Gerrad Kough (left guard) are likely to continue in those roles, while the Buffs could go with either Isaac Miller or Josh Kaiser at right tackle. Miller had started four consecutive games at right tackle, but Kaiser got the start against ASU.
CU's depth up front will be tested if there are any more injuries.
Sophomore Brett Tonz, a converted defensive lineman, will be the backup center, while also serving as the top backup at guard. He has played 63 snaps on offense this season.
After Tonz, next up for the Buffs could be sophomore Dillon Middlemiss, who has yet to play an offensive snap this year.


For the bath establishment, close by, I lack the satisfaction, it is true, of seeing my revered image reproduced _ad infinitum_, by a vista of mirrors; but I have a bathing-tub like a lake, and linen enough to dry a hippopotamus.
We explored the house, -- after it had first been examined by our guard, to see that no foes lurked there, -- but found nothing but heaps of rubbish, an old bedstead, and a bathing-tub, of which we afterward made good use.
In this dilemma somebody suggested the bathing-tub, a suggestion which was eagerly seized upon.
If there is no tub to fit, a common bathing-tub may be raised on one end, by putting a piece of wood under it, so as to keep the water all in the other end, allowing the feet of the patient to be kept out of the water.
The sawed-off end of a barrel was the bathing-tub, and Peer stood in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up, holding the naked little bodies as they sprawled about in the steaming water.
One of the trunks is a bathing-tub, fitted with a cover -- an agreeable promise of refreshment amidst the dust and weariness of travel.
This battered and tattered doll, this shapeless, featureless, possibly legless creature, whose mission it is to be dragged by one arm, or stood upon its head in the bathing-tub, until it finally reverts to the rag-bag whence it came, -- what an affluence of breathing life is thrown around it by one touch of dawning imagination!
She learned afterwards that Mrs. Fixfax had found the rings in the bottom of the ivory bathing-tub, where Fly had had her "turkey wash."

Elbows are a little lower. So often we see elbows are higher. What we end up doing, as a hitter, is wrapping. It's hard to neutralize gravity. We're in this position, we have around one o'clock, and soon you will bring that up, we need to diminish the separation it takes to go to the ball. We need to bring it facing gravity, present to it the whole distance around. What's more, a propensity, on account of the manner in which we're made anatomically, we will in general drop that back shoulder. So we should ensure that we don't finish up wrapping the ball. Let it passed through it. The elbow goes over in the power position, and they're pointed down basically, and the back elbow will, in general, be slightly higher.
The situation of the front hand, for the most part, has a 90-degree point. Try not to position too high since it will exasperate your punch.
– Let your shoulders unwind.
Shoulders should be relaxed to get the best hit. On the off chance that one shoulder is lower than the other, it should be the front shoulder. On the off chance that you begin along these lines, you tend to have a genuine issue since you're going to drop to an ever increasing extent or you're endeavoring to move the bat. So it doesn't damage, to begin with, it only a smidgen.


As a college player with UCLA, Iloski was talented but struggled with injuries. After a disappoiting MLS draft, his fortunes changed with a contract offer from Poland's biggest club, now the California native is determined to take advantage of the opportunity.
THE MLS SUPERDRAFT IS TYPICALLY a huge moment for many young American soccer players who are looking to find a team to begin their professional careers. In the end, only a small number get drafted at a high enough level to expect a contract. For the rest, their professional career is in limbo.
For Brian Iloski, 22, the 2018 SuperDraft was a major disappointment. After completing a fifth season at UCLA, which he was able to do because of injury, he had hoped to be selected with a high draft pick. In his final season for Bruins he earned an all-Pac-12 first team selection after being the team's leader in points, goals, and assists.
At the draft in Philadelphia, he fell far below expectations and was eventually selected by the Colorado Rapids in the fourth round – a level where few are awarded pro contracts..
That other opportunity turned out to be Legia Warsaw, the most successful team in Polish soccer and a frequent participant in the Champions League. Legia was in Florida in January for its winter break to participate in the Florida Cup. With the MLS Combine also taking place 30 minutes away, it sent scouts to monitor players. For Legia, Iloski stood out.
Legia invited Iloski to train with their first team for four days in Florida and the Escondido, Calif. native impressed. Legia then invited him to a second winter break camp in Spain for 10 days where he continued to perform well. Then they invited him back to Poland where the intent was to sign him.
With the first team in second place in a tight race for the Polihs title, Iloski knows that first team minutes will be hard to come by this year as he gets adjusted to being a professional soccer player. Iloski is currently training with the first team and playing with the club' reserve team.
Iloski believes he has fit in well so far. At just 5′ 7″, he has been able to utilize his best strength which is his versatility. Just as he did with UCLA, the left footed Iloski has played a variety of positions for Legia including left midfield, central midfield, and attacking midfield.
UCLA head coach Jorge Salcedo believes Iloski has the skills it takes to succeed in Europe. As an MLS veteran himself, he was disappointed but not surprised with how the situation unfolded at the draft and is confident Europe will suit him better.
"I still think that unfortunately, we place a priority on things in the game that shouldn't be as high up the list as starting points," Saucedo said. "I still think our soccer IQ, our technical application, our awareness of space with and without the ball – to me, those should be higher priorities than way we evaluate players. Brian has two of the most important skillsets you need to have as a professional player – his speed of thought and his technical ability to make a player. Brian has all of those attributes. He can identify his first option and his second option very quickly."
There have been signs that Iloski was looking to move abroad to start his career. Last year he went on trial in Serbia with top flight club Vojvodina but despite interest from the club in signing him, he elected to return to California for school.
His roots in the game run through his family. His two younger brothers are both freshman on the UCLA team and his father, Mark Iloski, is a French-born immigrant with Macedonian roots who played professionally at the indoor level with the San Diego Sockers.
Now in Poland, Ilsoki has several clear goals he wants to achieve. Obviously he wants to succeed at Legia, but he also wants to enter the mix for the U.S. national team. As teenager he received a few call-ups to various youth national teams but a combination of injuries and disappointing performances saw he fade from the picture. He now believes that if he gets another shot, he will take advantage of the opportunity.
For now, however, his entire focus is integrating and adapting to life at Legia Warsaw. Moving abroad has typically been a tough transition for many American players but Iloski is not feeling any issues such as culture shock or homesickness. Part of that, he says, is due to his older age when compared with many of the other Americans moving to Europe now.
But Iloski doesn't believe he is starting off behind others despite starting his professional career later. He admits that college helped give him maturity and the chance to grow as a person. Injuries forced him to miss a lot of time at UCLA but Iloski took that time to study the game and return a more cerebral player.

Our experience of the sensory world does not need to be constrained by our physical limitations. When navigating the environment our senses interact to perceive a robust non-veridical experience. Understanding these interactions and being able to define them perceptually and algorithmically allows technological developments that can facilitate sensory enhancement and optimization. Examples include use of targeted neuroplasticity to modify our internal experiences, wearable personalized technologies for sensory augmentation, and heightened virtual sensory experiences that elicit natural cross-modal percepts.
The song "Amazing", written and produced by our very own NYU graduate David "Swagg R'celious" Harris (MM '10) for Gospel artist Livre, recently reached #17 on the Mediabase Gospel Charts. It has now been on the Top Charts for 2 weeks according to the Mediabase Charts, and seems to be continuing to climb.

An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department.


Can I somehow set NC to be the default File Browser, such as "Reveal in Finder" would show the file/folder in NC instead of Finder?
If yes, does it work well?
Thanks. It's still info.filesmanager.Files, even when the name is now Nimble?
Sadly that solution doesn't work in every case. Some apps use AppleEvents or AppleScript or something, and actually call Finder specifically to reveal a path, and then Finder will activate. It's annoying. But in many scenarios it works fine.
You could always try to change Finder's Info.plist in /System/Library/CoreServices, i.e. DisplayName, BundleID, and then transfer those to Nimble Commander… NC would then be called Finder and have the Bundle ID com.apple.Finder, but I'm not sure if this wouldn't cause some slight problems down the road, so I'd vote against such a hack.
Yes, I guess all Finder alternatives will have this issue.

which I wave in my defence.
Can´t recall the case, though.
little more than its song?
The whole century´s heavy, gives no response.
As if I´d been forced to bear its weight alone.
My death is an aching injustice.
of leaves for winter sheep-fodder.
was moving into years of ripeness.
the axe first with its blade towards me.
I now demand the rest of my life.
owe me an intractable debt.
and swap lives with the local ladies.
and my dream of being Wisława Szymborska.
in Blonde, handed back reluctantly.
in a well-thumbed copy of The Wind on the Moon.
The library expands that way, fitfully.
shining faintly when I´ve switched off at night.
in the familiar homes round about.
see in me a happy woman.

Q: How do you set a css class based on a select query in Sencha Touch? I have a simple select query to select DOM node:
var selectNode = Ext.select('.myCSSClass textarea');

I want to apply a css class to textarea.
I have tried:
selectNode.addCls('newClass');

I have also tried using Ext.ComponentQuery to select the node and it doesn't work.
I also tried using the apply() method:
Ext.apply(selectNode, {
    cls: 'newClass'
});

A: Ext.select returns a array of elements that respond to the CSS selector you gave.
If you want to add a CSS class to the  class attribute of this element you have to do this :
Ext.select('.css-class').elements[0].className += ' myClass'; // don't forget the space

Example :

Hope this helps
