Psyched to premiere another gut punch of a track from Malmö, Sweden's Hater, taken from the group's wonderful forthcoming LP You Tried, out next month on Stockholm label PNKSLM. Like the previous singles from the new record — "Mental Haven" + "Had It All" — "Cry Later" is a very good lovelorn indie-pop song that's elevated to greatness by Caroline Landahl's gorgeous, pining vocals, which radiate with a warmth and fragile strength that destroys all of the feels every time. You Tried is out March 10th.

Kenny Broberg
September 11, 2017 November 16, 2018 kenny
Jordan Buchholtz, KC Metropolis
Kenny Broberg is a current graduate student at Park University International Center for Music. At only 23 years old, he has already shown his spark for success at international competitions such as winning first prize at both the Hastings (England) and Dallas, as well as medals at other competitions including New Orleans, Seattle, and Sydney. Broberg is an extremely talented pianist and is certain to have a prosperous career as an artist. His strong and satisfying sound at the piano along with clear and sensible phrasing, made for an exquisite concert Sunday afternoon at the Folly Theater.
Broberg began the concert with César Franck's Prelude, Fugue, and Variations in B Minor, Op. 18. This piece is not necessarily known to all pianists because it is originally for organ; Harold Bauer transcribed it for piano. Broberg's performance of the piece was astounding! I have not heard a better rendition. Because it was to be played on the organ, there are a lot of leaps and jumps in the music to try and imitate the wide range of powerful sounds the organ can make. This was not an issue for Broberg; his careful timing and full resonant sound at the piano made it look effortless. He was always attentive to the singing melody in the Prelude and was distinct with the subject in the Fugue and Variations. Not only did he give the necessary attention to the melody at all times, but his awareness and treatment of the inner voices, or the counterpoint, was amazing. Even the smallest of details in the music were observed.
His intricate artistry continued in the Toccata in C Minor, BWV 911 by Bach. There are many interpretations of how to play Bach at the piano; I think every pianist comes up with their own idea and execution of the "correct style." What matters most is that the performance was convincing. Broberg's interpretation was unquestionably conclusive. His strong technical agility showed in this piece, especially for the virtuosic writing of Bach. The way he treated each voice throughout the piece showed his true mastery at the piano. He achieved a variety of sounds and colors in the Toccata, which made for a compelling performance.
The Barber Piano Sonata is a beast of a piece. This virtuosic showpiece in four movements includes extended chromaticism, tone rows, highly dissonant chords, and other many twentieth-century musical ideas that Barber incorporated. In lighter terms, it is a very difficult piece! Broberg had no trouble with these features of the music. It is easy to get bogged down with the opening motive of the first movement, this did not happen. He played with such purpose and direction in the music, it just made sense. Broberg's strong presentation of the various characteristics throughout the piece brought out the unique soundscapes and colors in the music. The fourth movement is probably the hardest part of the piece because of the four-voice fugue and the devilishly demanding ending: but we could hear every note and chord.
Describing the Liszt Piano Sonata as a 'difficult' piece is an understatement. It demands virtuosity, drama, and a high emotional connection to the music. Some scholars suggest this sonata has four movements, but the piece is through-composed and doesn't stop in-between sections. Broberg's approach to this piece was bold and fearless in the fast and fervent sections, and sensitive in the middle, more introverted parts. We heard the same attentiveness to details throughout this sonata as we did in the Barber. He channeled Liszt's audacious personality in his playing. Despite an odd, random ringing in the hall during the middle portion of the sonata, Broberg retained his unwavering focus and his playing did not falter.
The program Broberg played represented some large forms of piano composition, and so for his encores, we got to experience two short pieces of a smaller scale, Chopin's Mazurka in F-sharp Minor from the Op. 59 set of Mazurkas and Gershwin's Virtuoso Etude No. 3 "Embraceable You." Just like the rest of the program, Broberg had the audience at his fingertips during these two pieces. Not only did they showcase his virtuosity, but his sense of romantic passion in the music, his understanding of musical timing and the superb simplicity of his sound.

Time to jump on the bandwagon. Foursquare, the real-life achievement oriented, barhopping, smart phone friendly web 2.0 creation is taking over a city near you. With 23 cities total (21 in the US and 2 international), and 1.35 million dollars of investor moola to throw around, this New York-based Internet startup is going to be on many a phone in the coming years.
So what is Foursquare? It's a location-based website where you can "Check-in" to different locations in order to build up points and earn badges. Sounds lame you say? Hear me out.
It's Friday night in Washington DC. You take the Metro from Silver Spring to DuPont Circle and go to Buffalo Billiards to hang out. In doing so you make a trip over to the fountain to relax and then head back home. Sure you had a great time, but with Foursquare you just earned Mad Points that night.
There are rules to checking in though, which are explained in Foursquare's help section. One of the most notable is that you won't earn any points during normal work hours (M-F 8am-4pm) unless you discover a new place or provide them new info on a location that hasn't been entered into the system. I like this because it encourages being adventurous and shuns the lame folks who'd rather stay in and watch Gray's Anatomy on a Thursday night *shiver*. So yeah, that lunch with your co-workers doesn't count. Sorry Jon from Accounting.
Foursqaure turns a fun night into a competition that makes it even more fun to be out with your friends. It's almost like how your mind works when you play fantasy football. More achievements = more points. You can even become the mayor of a location if you check-in enough times. I mean, you're talking to the mayor of the Silver Spring Metro and Mayorga Coffee Factory here *ahem* *ahem*.
So what do these points and mayorships get you? Nothing right now. The point is to be able to use the service with your buddies to talk up how you scored more points than them in a single night (or week). When they check-in you can even see where they are so that you can be there too (that gets you more points as well). It's a social networking site, so it pays to be social.
The creators of Foursquare, Dennis Crowley, Naveen Selvadurai, and Harry Heymann are playing around with ways to reward players in real life for their efforts, but to me this is problematic because if people start getting discounts for being mayors, users will start blasting the system with bogus check-ins to earn more freebies.
Another caveat is that this all works under the honor system. Foursquare has no idea whether I'm actually going to these places. I could just be sitting at home all night putting myself all around the city, earning points, badges, and mayorships without anyone being the wiser. Some people may actually do this because that's how they have fun, but the folks at Foursquare are banking on the fact that the people who do this are going to get tired of it and won't have as much of a drive to check-in as those who are actually going out and having fun in the "real world".
This leads me to one last caveat. Having an Android phone or an Iphone makes checking in a lot easier because each of these phones has a Foursqaure application that will give you access to their services without much hassle (such are awesomeness of apps). Using other Internet-enabled phones is a bit trickier because you have to go to their websites, which takes a lot longer. Those who don't have a data plan can text in their location, but I'm going to bet that most people don't do this at all because the service isn't as interactive, and if you come to a spot that doesn't exist in the system it's impossible for these users to enter the new location, thus defeating the purpose of the game (Foursquare is relatively new to the scene and I've had to enter new locations on the fly many times).
The good news for Blackberry users without an app to call their own is that the folks at Foursquare say that an app made especially for them is on the way. Yay!
I would also suggest that Foursquare take note from the Yelp team and hire city community managers. These CM's can organize Foursquare nights where members can earn more points barhopping on the nights being lead by a city's respective CM. This way, if people know that they can earn more points by not cheating, they'll be more likely to come out, get involved, and have a good time. Businesses will love this too because this means more revenue for them. Also, can you say publicity? Think about it.
In the end, Foursquare is very smart. They've created a system where normal shmoes like you and me are willing to advertise for other businesses for the sheer pleasure of earning points and being crowned mayors. We don't mind making other businesses more popular because we want to share our experiences and get our friends to come along with us in our late night revelries. If sharing virtual drinks has become the most popular application on Facebook, if Yelp is slowly wheeling Zagat into a retirement home, and if scholars are using Wikipedia to start their research (after looking at citations of course), then it's no wonder that our Web 2.0 culture of Stumbling, Digging, and sharing has lead us to this new form of entertainment that has created a hybrid legion of techy-fratboy-nerds bent on pwning their respective cities.
Foursquare, you are t3h 4w3som3s0rz br0!
If you want to jump on the bandwagon too, connect with me on Foursqaure.

Mark Maley (* 26. Januar 1981 in Newcastle upon Tyne) ist ein ehemaliger englischer Fußballspieler. Der Abwehrspieler des AFC Sunderland musste seine Karriere bereits im Alter von 21 Jahren beenden, nachdem ihm ein Mannschaftskamerad versehentlich mit einer Luftpistole ins Auge geschossen hatte.

Karriere
Maley durchlief die Jugendabteilung des AFC Sunderland und erhielt im Januar 1998 seinen ersten Profivertrag. Sein Pflichtspieldebüt in der Profimannschaft des Klubs gab der Außenverteidiger in der Erstrundenpartie des League Cups am 18. August 1998 gegen York City. Dies blieb zugleich sein einziger Saisoneinsatz für das Profiteam, den Rest der Saison 1998/99 verbrachte im Reserveteam, mit dem er die Central League gewann. Auch in der folgenden Spielzeit reichte es für Maley nur zu einem Einsatz im Ligapokal, hinter den erfahreneren Spielern Chris Makin, Michael Gray und Darren Holloway waren Einsatzchancen rar. Nach einem dritten League-Cup-Einsatz für Sunderland zu Beginn der Saison 2000/01 folgten für Maley im Herbst 2000 Leihphasen beim FC Blackpool (Third Division) und Northampton Town (Second Division), wo er jeweils zu zwei Einsätzen kam. Weiterhin ohne Einsatzchance für Sunderland in der Premier League, wurde Maley im September 2001 in die Third Division an York City verliehen. Die beiden Klubs hatten im Sommer eine Kooperation vereinbart, die zuvor bereits Maleys Teamkamerad Michael Proctor nach York führte. Die Leihe wurde im Dezember bis Saisonende verlängert, endete wegen einer Verletzung Maleys nach 13 Ligaeinsätzen aber im März 2002 vorzeitig.

Die Fußballkarriere des vormaligen Kapitäns der englischen Schülernationalmannschaft kam im April 2002 zu einem abrupten Ende, als ihm sein Mannschaftskollege John Oster beim "Herumblödeln" in dessen Wohnung versehentlich mit einer Luftpistole ins Auge schoss. Maley musste notoperiert werden und konnte seine Karriere nicht mehr fortsetzen. 2007 einigten sich Maley und Oster außergerichtlich auf eine Entschädigungszahlung.

After yesterday's reds, altcoins are facing the sword and as long as sellers are in control, trading within a bear breakout pattern, it is likely that Tron, Monero, EOS, Stellar Lumens and Litecoin would print new 2018 lows retesting early 2017 price tags.
Unfortunately for EOS holders, prices are free falling. In the last week alone, EOS is down 25 percent and further worsening the situation is yesterday's eight percent drop.
As far as price action is concerned, our last EOS/USD trade plan is valid and as prices trend within a bear breakout pattern with clear resistance at $4 and minor buy triggers as $3.5, it is likely that EOS would fall towards our main support at $1.5 before finding support.
That means another flip may happen as Tether climb up to sixth as the demand for a liquid and reliable stable coin increases.
Unlike EOS, Litecoin losses are moderate and though they are down roughly five percent in the last day and week, LTC/USD is trading above Nov lows meaning our previous trade plan is valid. Surprisingly, prices are on the slide while fundamentals point to bulls.
This is a divergence and as long as prices trade above Nov 2018 lows at $25-$30 support zone, bulls have a chance.
If not and there is a high volume break and close below the bullish pin bar of Nov 25, then we might see panic sells that will drive LTC prices back to Q1 ball park levels of $5.
Despite our expectations of increasing Stellar Lumens bull momentum, sellers are back–and with a vengeance. Although XLM is still perched at fourth, it is down seven percent in the last day and with increasing volumes—4 million versus 4.2 million average, we expect yesterday's sell momentum to spill over.
In that case therefore we recommend aggressive traders to fade our previous XLM/USD trade plans, unload at spot and take a wait and see approach observing how prices will react at the 8 cents support.
If by then there would be signs of bulls, then they can load up with first target at previous support now resistance at 15 cents.
On chain transactions is on the rise and while at it the Tron Foundation is on overdrive promoting use of the platform through several incentives as the Accelerator Program and availing different developer suites to fast-track creation and launch of different dApps.
And it appears to be paying off. There is confidence on the coin and so far it is up 18 percent in the last week, stable in the last day and up one spot to 11th in the market cap rank. Even if sellers are in control and TRX/USD is no doubt trading within a bear breakout pattern as highlighted in previous TRX/USD trade plans, the rejection of lower lows and the failure of prices to print lower increases the odds of a bull breakout above 1.5 cents.
From our previous iterations, once this happens then we expect TRX prices to rally towards 3 cents lifting Tron back to the top 10. If not and bears step up reversing Nov 28 gains, then we might see TRX retesting the coin's all time lows at Jan 24 lows.
Like BTC and LTC, Monero is finding widespread support thanks to the privacy it tags along. Users can now withdraw the coin at several ATMs in Switzerland.
But, while at it, XMR is under pressure and down two spots to 12th. From the chart, it's clear that XMR/USD is trading within a bear breakout pattern and with sharp declines below $70 on week ending Nov 25, bears were let loose.
The only time we recommend longs is when there will be convincing resurgence propelling prices above $70—our immediate resistance level. Before then, we expect prices to dive to $20 or lower more so if losses are maintained at the same pace.

Q: How to network to my fabric8 docker compose service from cloud build? My maven build file runs an Integration Test and I use the io.fabric8:docker-maven-plugin to spin up an environment for the test to run against. There are several things running in the resulting environment but to keep this short there is mainly one REST server that the code I am testing needs to talk to.
It works really well locally. I use mvn verify and the integration test runs, and the environment is started up and taken down either side of it. No problems.
However I also want this build to run in GCP Cloud Build. It almost does. The environment is started successfully including the REST server as well as a postgres instance the REST server talks to, and that connection is working. But when my test code tries to talk to the REST server it fails to connect.
I have the port for the REST server declared as 8080:8080, ie the 8080 port is exposed on the local machine. And this works on my own machine. It doesn't work on Cloud Build though. I saw somewhere that Cloud Build likes to use its own network cloudbuild and that I need to define that network in a docker-compose file something like this:
networks:
  default:
    external:
      name: cloudbuild

However I am not using a docker-compose file. I have the images etc to run defined in my pom.xml file under the entry for io.fabric8:docker-maven-plugin and it isn't clear from the fabric8 docs how to specify this. I'm also unclear on whether, with this in place, I need to change my localhost references to something else, though I tried making them cloudbuild and that did not help.

A: I found the answer here. I discarded the maven plugin approach and I start docker compose in the cloudbuild.yaml file like this:
  - name: 'docker/compose'
    args:  [ '-f', 'liontamer-web/docker/docker-compose.yml', '-f', 'liontamer-web/docker/docker-compose-ci.yml', 'up', '-d']
    id: docker-compose

(yes, my project is called liontamer, and the docker file is in a module named liontamer-web), Notice there are two docker compose files. The second one contains this:
version: '3.2'
networks:
  default:
    external:
      name: cloudbuild

which means it uses the right network name when running under Cloud Build.
The rest of my cloudbuild.yaml file looks like this:
  - name: 'maven:3.8-openjdk-17'
    args:
      - 'mvn'
      - '-Dmaven.test.skip=false'
      - '-Dmaven.repo.local=/workspace/.m2/repository'
      - '--settings'
      - custom-settings.xml
      - clean
      - install
      - '-B'
      - '-DVERSION_ID=$TAG_NAME'
      - '-DBRANCH_ID=master'
      - '-DPROJECT_ID=$PROJECT_ID'
      - '-DCONTAINER_REPO=${_CONTAINER_REPO}'
      - '-DMAVEN_REPO=${_MAVEN_REPO}'
      - '-DDOCKER_CONFIG=/builder/home/.docker'
      - '-P'
      - release
    id: build
    waitFor: [docker-compose]
  - name: 'docker/compose'
    args:  [ '-f', 'liontamer-web/docker/docker-compose.yml', '-f', 'liontamer-web/docker/docker-compose-ci.yml', 'down']
    id: docker-compose-down

it is important to note the waitFor in the build because I think it will otherwise clean up the docker compose stuff before running that if it doesn't find a waitFor. I'm not sure how important the last step which takes docker-compose down but it seems polite to clean up.
One more thing I had to change was that my integration test code has to refer to the docker services by service name. When running locally I have ports exposed on localhost so I can just use localhost with the right port number. Not the case under Cloud Build. So for the one REST server I need to reach from the IT I changed it's host reference from localhost to the service name in the docker compose file.
That means I can't run it locally, of course, unless I do some editing. But this is good enough.

Just Some Thoughts
Love in the Age of Corona
figure art
It's All Academic Until Someone Unlocks Your Passion
I was talking with someone today about drawing. It started off a bit dry, acknowledging the mechanics of leaning and teaching, but I noticed the more I talked, the more excited I got. I was caught up in the spell of artmaking, unable to keep my emotional connection to it out of the conversation.
I can forget easily how it feels to do the work. There's a lot of discussion and analysis, and plenty we do in art school. But to connect the two is a great gift. Artists who write about what they do aren't always the best at it. Read Jerry Salz, the art critic, and it's bursting with love for art. Similarly (uncle) Paul Klee, though with less abandon.
I must remember the massive seas of feeling inside that connect me to art when I talk about it in an analytical way. I think our passion is the best connection we can have when we try to get others to understand or participate.
Sharing the Joy
It was a small thing. But today, I got to share one of my favorite painters to someone who had no idea they shared the same name: Per. Per Kirkeby is, of course, the Danish abstract landscape artist (not that it's a niche for him).
There's something vital about sharing the things we love. Sometimes it's a show, often an album or song, and here and there a visual artist who captures our souls to the point we feel like we'll explode if someone else doesn't share the explosive potential with us.
It's human to be so excited by art. And it's human to want to experience it in some social way, too.
Maybe Getting Lost Is the Best Path Now and Then
There's a general sense—in the United States, particularly—that negative emotions are objectively bad and need to be countered immediately with positive thoughts. The drive to improve our health, status, income, and productivity is relentless. At least, it seems so to me.
But I think there's an unappreciated world in dark moments, down days, moody patches. Being human is a spectrum of emotions, and being an artist requires being open to possibility. How can we be effective interpreters of the universe if we shun a big part of ourselves?
It might seem scary at first to just let some shadow feelings alone when they show up. But there isn't anything inherently dangerous about them. It's what we do with those feelings that makes the difference. I think suppressing or ignoring our emotional spectrum is a problem, and I doubt it makes for good art. Affective, relevant, insightful art is what moves us, both to shape our view of the world and to better connect with each other.
Being Affected by Things Until You Can't Even
It happens. I say be destroyed by stories, shows, albums, interpretive dances. All that stuff that makes you feel so vulnerable is a piece of your being now, and you need that depth of feeling if you're going to make sincere work.
Game of Thrones and/or new Mountain Goats album it up.
The Link Between Sky, Weather, and Serenity in Portland
Oregon, that is. I've always loved rain and cloudy skies. I didn't get a lot of them growing up in Arizona and almost as few living in L.A. for 17 years. But since I visited Portland last year, I noticed there's another aspect to the gray. In the middle of the day, rain clouds are, indeed, leaden.
But at dawn—and dusk—the cloudy turns positively cerulean. It's beautiful, and full of portent, and it makes the other colors near the ground stand out, somehow. It's a lovely combination of gloom and beauty, and the relative stillness of the early morning gives the day a zen quality that calms and gladdens me.
Layers of Creative Existence
Few things are as satisfying as diving deeply into a realm of artistic experience you resonate with. Gaming, painting, books, film—there are depths beyond depths if you choose to explore beyond the surface experience of any art.
But, of course, it doesn't change the raw experience any casual patron of the medium might have. It's still the primary goal of any work of art to invoke some kind of reaction in the people who experience it. The filmgoer who watches The Green Book, say, shouldn't be viewed as a lesser participant in the work than a scholar of cinema who understands layers of subtext and craft that went into the film's creation. Most people don't, after all. Every person deserves their personal experience without a requirement to study mechanics of creation or art beforehand, unless the thing is specifically designed for that purpose.
I think I mean to say that we can hope the deeper meaning behind our work is appreciated and understood by our audience. But a deep and personal connection, regardless of how studied the patron's background, is the first and important thing in giving your work to the world.
When All Around Is Chaos, It's Your Habit That Gives You the Anchor
That and staying mostly off social media. The never-ending feed of friends, family, enemies, and annoying friends-of-enemies can throw you off balance and out of whack, emotionally and mentally.
But you always have your thing, remember. You can always return to your center, your place of zen. The creative well is always available, whether we think it's bringing up anything good or not. We're not always the best judge of what's good in the moment. If you keep at it, there will be good stuff you can build on and savor.
I've found it a bit pat when people say things like, "get to work!" But it's just the simplest way to say all the foregoing. Keep a creative habit, do your thing, and the work will be good enough, often enough, to keep moving forward and—in the most renewable ways—detoxify you.
Just Another Picture, A Rainy Day Image Sans Rain
We're all affected by the weather. It's just that we're affected in deeply different ways. Art is the same. There are commonalities, we know something is abstract or naturalistic or minimalist. But how we feel standing in front of a Rothko or a Gericault or a Morris is personal.


Fix Log Source Error "Unable To Enumerate Event Log Channels on Host"
Remediate a Log Source with Error ELC01480 "We Are Losing Events"
Remedy Windows Agent Eventlog Error ELC01202 "Unable to Query Eventlog"
The following article describes how to remedy a Windows agent that is showing the error "Unable to query eventlog".
This error is generated when the Windows Eventlog Policy in the Alert Logic console is set up to collect on certain streams, but the agent does not have access to some or all of the selected streams. If any selected log stream does not exist on the host or cannot be collected for any reason, the log source will stay in error until the specific log stream can be collected or the selected stream is deselected.
To remedy the Windows agent eventlog error, you can follow either of the following sets of instructions.
Verify that the log stream is being generated by the host by confirming that they are configured in the Windows Eventlog Policy Settings and that logs are being generated of that type. Event logs can be viewed in the Microsoft Windows Event Viewer of the host generating the logs.
Manually update your Windows Eventlog Policy to no longer include unnecessary log streams.
In the Alert Logic console, click Configuration in the main menu and then click Log Management in the submenu.
In the left sidebar, click Policies.
In the Policies menu on the left, click Windows Eventlog.
Find the Windows Eventlog that is in error and click its Pencil (Edit) icon. The Windows Eventlog policy configuration pane opens.
In the Windows Eventlog policy configuration pane, select the Application, System, and Security checkboxes. Clear all other checkboxes.
You should no longer see error codes.
For more information about setting up collection policies for Windows eventlog, refer to our Work with Eventlog Policies documentation.


In a previous contribution to SPERI Comment, I presented some of my research on the domestic ownership structure of the US federal debt. The findings showed that since the early 1980s, and especially since the onset of the global financial crisis, federal bonds have become heavily concentrated in the hands of the top one percent of US households and the largest US financial corporations.
My forthcoming book Public Debt, Inequality, and Power examines the causes and the consequences of concentration in ownership of the federal debt. My efforts have been guided by the conceptual framework that Wolfgang Streeck develops in his book Buying Time: The Delayed Crisis of Democratic Capitalism.
Let's begin with the causes of increased concentration in ownership of the federal debt. In Buying Time, Streeck traces a shift in the advanced capitalist countries from a tax state to a debt state. Under the post-war tax state, gradual increases in government expenditures were matched by tax revenues, resulting in low levels of public indebtedness. With the emergence of the debt state since the 1970s onward, government expenditures continued to grow, while tax revenues stagnated, resulting in escalating levels of public indebtedness.
Streeck argues that tax stagnation is the main driver of the debt state. Gradually increasing government expenditures are simply a function of capitalist development. As the commodifying logic of the market expands and deepens, the state must increase its spending on infrastructure, policing and social protection. Tax stagnation is, however, a more overtly political process, stemming from a highly organised tax revolt on the part of elites.
Thus tax stagnation also implies declining tax progressivity because wealthy households and large corporations are paying less tax as a percentage of their total income. By contrast, increasing tax progressivity would see the wealthiest in society paying more tax as a percentage of their income. Due to changes in the tax system, elites have more money to invest in the growing stock of government bonds, which, thanks to their 'risk free' status, become particularly attractive during crises. In essence, governments come to rely on borrowing from elites instead of taxing them. And in choosing to furnish elites with 'risk free' assets rather than tax their incomes, the debt state reinforces existing patterns of inequality. The logical sequence of Streeck's schema is illustrated in Figure 1.
So increasing concentration in ownership of the public debt is driven primarily by changes in the tax system and the US experience corresponds remarkably well to Streeck's schema. Since the 1970s the federal debt has been growing due to the trio of gradually increasing federal expenditures, stagnating federal tax revenues and declining federal tax progressivity. With declining tax progressivity, elites in the US are taking a greater share of national income, and investing part of that income in a growing federal debt.
What about the consequences of concentration in ownership of the federal debt? Streeck claims that the debt state is harmful to democracy. Under the tax state, governments were accountable mostly to their citizenry or Staatsvolk, which demanded the rights of citizenship in exchange for loyalty. Under the debt state, however, citizens have to compete with government bondholders, or Marktvolk, which demand that the government service its debts in exchange for market confidence.
To explore these claims in the US context, I conducted a simple content analysis, counting the frequency with which the terms that Streeck identifies with the interests of the Marktvolk (e.g. international, investors, interest rates, confidence) and the Staatsvolk (e.g. national, public opinion, citizens, loyalty) appear in federal government documents in three periods of time: 1957-1961, 1977-1981 and 2006-2010. The analysis does show that, as concentration in ownership of the federal debt increases, references to the interests of the Marktvolk increase relative to those of the Staatsvolk.
This exercise does not prove that concentration gives owners of the federal debt power over government. But what it does suggest is that inequality in ownership of the federal debt and inequality in political representation go hand in hand. My research suggests that the US debt state not only reinforces inequality, but that it also contributes to the erosion of democracy.
Streeck is a comparativist. He sees the debt state as a common feature of advanced capitalism. And a cross-national analysis exploring the similarities and differences of debt states would help us to better assess the explanatory power of Streeck's framework. Comparative research is particularly needed for the Eurozone, where a debt crisis in its periphery has brought political immediacy to the issue of public indebtedness.
As a monetarily sovereign entity (i.e. one that issues debt in a currency it fully controls), the US federal government does not need to issue debt, and the fact that it kowtows to its creditors is purely ideological. Yet members of the Eurozone ceded their monetary sovereignty to the European Central Bank which means they are completely reliant on private markets to finance their deficits.
The institutional set-up of the Eurozone imposes a structural constraint on governments, one that empowers owners of the public debt (Streeck's Marktvolk). As a result, it is particularly important to uncover who the Marktvolk in the Eurozone actually are.
But here's the rub. As I point out in a new working paper, comprehensive data on ownership of the public debt outside of the US does not appear to exist. For example, in 2014 a citizen's audit deemed 60 per cent of the French public debt 'illegitimate' because indebtedness was driven by tax cuts for elites and because rising interest rates had unnecessarily increased government borrowing costs to the benefit of wealthy bondholders.
In the end, however, the audit was forced to admit that its findings were largely speculative because reliable records on ownership of the public debt were unavailable. Reflecting on the audit, one commentator went so far as to declare the 'legally organised ignorance' of the identity of owners of the public debt stands as 'one of the world's best kept secrets'.
To bring about progressive change, we need accurate data on the winners and losers of contemporary capitalism. Unfortunately, a lack of transparency in our data only serves to conceal, and therefore reinforce, the power of those that have gained the most from the debt state.

The Penguins held practice at CONSOL Energy Center on Sunday afternoon before boarding a flight to Ottawa.
A few notable players were absent from the skate. Sidney Crosby, Chris Kunitz and Joe Vitale all had maintenance days. Evgeni Malkin skated on his own prior to the team practice. Injured Reserve players Brooks Orpik (concussion), Rob Scuderi (broken ankle) and Tanner Glass (broken hand) all participated.
After the skate, head coach Dan Bylsma had no updates except that Orpik, Scuderi and Glass all had another full day of practice with the team.
Out of the three of them, it looks like Glass is the closest to a return as Bylsma said the winger could play Monday against the Senators. "He was good (Saturday), today was another test for him and I would say he's game-time for (Monday)'s game," Bylsma said. "It's a possibility."
Meanwhile, Orpik said it's possible that he could play Friday vs. Carolina. "Yeah, I think there's a few of us that (Friday is) feasible for," he said. "But the group we have playing right now is obviously getting the job done, so that'll be a coaches' decision, I think, when we all get back in."
The veteran defenseman joked that he may try to time his return for Friday simply because it will be the first game after the NHL's three-day holiday break, saying, "I think we'll all feel terrible after the three-day break, so I don't know. Maybe I should wait for that so it slows everybody else down. It'll be a little easier to break back in."
But all jokes aside, Orpik isn't sure what his exact timetable is. He returned to full practice on Friday for the first time since suffering a concussion on Dec. 7 against Boston and said today after his second skate with the team, that "physically, I feel pretty good ... You just try to eat right and take care of yourself when you can't do stuff so when you do start, it comes back pretty quick. I've been skating with Mike Kadar, the strength coach, so the conditioning feels fine."
But Orpik was quick to reiterate well the team has been doing winning seven games in a row, and said because of that he doesn't think there is any rush to get back.
"It's been really fun to watch," Orpik said of the young defensemen filling in. "These guys all work really hard and it's been fun to watch. I don't think anybody expected all of them to be here at the same time, but that's the way it played out and they've all done a really good job."

Kuchela, also spelled kucheela, occasionally also kuchila, is a hot relish of the Trinidadian cuisine.

Main ingredient of kuchela is the pulp of unripe mangoes that has been grated and thoroughly strained, if necessary by drying. Afterwards it is mixed with amchar massala and various additional spices. Amchar massala is a blend of spices containing cilantro seeds, cumin, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, brown mustard seeds, and peppercorns. The hotness level is regulated by adding either fresh peppers (scotch bonnets and "congo peppers" (habaneros) being common) or a hot sauce. The relish is then seasoned to tasted with salt, sugar and garlic; vinegar is also common. By adding oil, usually mustard oil, the texture can be adjusted. As a relish, kuchela is used in a lot of ways, for example as a side dish to curries or pelau (a rice dish similar to pilaf) or as a topping for doubles.

Kuchela, as well as the contained spice blend amchar masala, has Indian roots. Roughly 40% of all Trinidadians are of Indian descent. Their ancestors came to Trinidad as indentured labourers from the mid 19th century on and brought with them their traditional recipes of their home provinces, which were subsequently adapted to the local offer of provisions. Nowadays kuchela (and amchar masala) are available as industrially produced, packaged goods in supermarkets. In neighboring Guyana, which as a former British colony shares parts of its colonial heritage with Trinidad, exists a similar relish called "mango achar".

Kelly, over at Kelly's Korner does a series every Friday called "Show Us Your Life" where readers can link to her blog and show off whatever the topic for that week happens to be. Some weeks they show off their kitchens, playrooms, holiday decor, etc…but today, the topic is "A Day in the Life". I obviously don't have time (or really care to) follow every link and read how we all spend our days, but it was fun to read a few and I thought I would participate. I know one day I will look back on my life as a working mom of a young toddler and wonder how we survived, so for memory's sake – here goes!
As a teacher, the school year often feels like I'm running a marathon, but at the pace of a sprinter. (I just used a running analogy – who am I?) Mid-August through the end of May (minus a few holidays and breaks, here and there) this is what a typical day looks like for me/us.
4:45 AM – my alarm goes off. Every night when I go to bed, I tell myself that I won't push snooze 35 times the next morning…it never works.
5:10-5:15 AM – I finally decide to get out of bed.
5:15-6:00 AM – In this 45 minute span of time, I do the following in some semblance of the same order every day – brush my teeth, take a shower, pick out clothes, throw clothes in dryer to fluff & dewrinkle (because who has time to iron?), start the coffee, dry & straighten my hair, and get dressed.
6:00-6:20 AM – I throw my lunch together (usually leftovers from the night before), get Parker's lunch, snacks, & drinks for the day packed, lay out Parker's clothes & shoes, and get his bag packed with diapers & an extra outfit for school. By this time, Matt is usually up and dressed and getting Parker up – who is beyond starving and very ready for breakfast. Parker's breakfast usually consists of some fruit and either a waffle, bagel, biscuit, dry cereal, yogurt, or a cereal bar. Some mornings, if I really have it all together, I can get a can of biscuits or cinnamon rolls in the oven and he and Matt can have a hot breakfast. If I eat breakfast, I eat dry cereal or a toasted bagel, waffle, or english muffin in the car.
6:20-6:30 AM – I gather my stuff and head out the door while my boys eat breakfast and finish getting ready to leave the house. I should really be out of the house by about 6:15, but that rarely happens.
6:30-7:30 AM – I drive to work and put on makeup in traffic or at the stop lights. The school is only about 20 miles from our house, but because of traffic, it take about an hour. Matt and Parker finish breakfast and finish getting dressed and then leave the house about 6:45 and it also takes them close to an hour to get to Parker's school.
7:15-7:30 AM – I walk into the building usually as the last bell is ringing to start 1st period and dodge students who are sprinting through the halls to get to class on time.
7:30-8:15 AM – I start the day with a 45 minute Team Leader Conference Period. Ideally, this time would be used to take care of my team leader responsibilities but most of the time, I end up checking email, running copies for the day/wrap my head around the plan for the day, and (let's just be honest) checking Facebook and Google Reader.
My first class starts at 8:20 AM and I pretty much fly through the rest of the school day, enjoying another 45 minute conference period and a 25 minute lunch break, interspersed between the 5 classes I teach. School ends at 2:30 and on Mon/Wed/Fri I leave by 2:45 or 2:50 to pick up Parker by 3:00; on Tues/Thurs, Parker stays at school until about 3:45 or 4:00 so I can stay at school and grade, write lessons, or hold tutorials.
3:30-5:30 PM – Parker and I arrive at home, sometimes stopping to run a quick errand if need be, between 3:30 & 4:30. Once we get home, we have snacks, play, watch Jeopardy, unpack bags & lunches, clean up from the whirlwind of a morning, do some laundry, etc… I start dinner around 5:15 or 5:30 and Matt is usually home by 5:45. We talk, play outside, finishing cooking and eat supper by about 6:15.
7:00-8:00 PM – Parker is entering whiny phase and we switch into bedtime mode. We play upstairs in the game room, take a bath, get pajamas on, and read books before having a bottle and rocking him to sleep.
For the rest of the evening, we pick up the house, (ideally) make lunches, pack bags, & pick out clothes for the next day, and use this time to actually talk to each other :). We'll watch some recorded show or sometimes work on a project in the garage. Alot of the time, I fall asleep watching TV and we both stumble off to bed between 10:30-11:30 PM.
Aaaand, there you have it – a day in the exciting life of the Mango's! Our life isn't perfect, but through all of the craziness of our days, I am most thankful for a couple of things – picking up a happy, smiling baby from school everyday where he has been loved on all day long and a wonderful husband who works so hard to support our family, but comes home ready to play and help with anything and everything for the rest of the evening!

Joe was able to come within 2 hours of me calling. He worked deliberately and quickly, and he gave us a free inspection of our other garage door opener. Will use him again and have passed his name on to friends too!
Had a spring break one morning prior to work. Due to the weight of the door, the opener was unable to lift it. Called another garage door company to set up the repair and was given a date two-weeks away. Unacceptable. Called Greene Overhead Door and Joe had a repairman out that afternoon. Repair was complete, quick and reasonable. The technician was very proffessional and while on site, lubed the door rollers and hinges. The door has never been this quiet. Would highly recommend!
I called and left a message over the weekend. Monday at 9am I received a call back. They were flexible with my schedule for an appointment, and by Wednesday my garage door was working again! They showed up on time, and the repair was done in under an hour. This is how a well-run business works! I can't say enough about how professional they were from start to finish.
I have used a lot of contractors over the years but these guys are by far, the best. High quality workmanship, willing to work with me closely, answered all my questions, dealt professionally with change orders. I am so confident in them, I am able to head to work each day knowing all will be well. I highly recommend this company. The prices are slightly higher but the quality shows. They do what they say they will do with no corners cut. Thanks guys!!!!
Great!! This company was very responsive when I had to reschedule my appointment due to a medical emergency. The man who came to do the tuneup was excellent- he worked on an older wooden door that was very heavy and hard to get up and down. After the tuneup and the rollers the door operates much better. I was very pleased with the service and recommend them to all.
I thought I needed a new sensor, however he was able to clean out the cob webs and didn't have to replace it. He did install new safety cables and rollers. I was very pleased with him. He was prompt, very professional and extremely trustworthy. It has worked like a dream ever since. I would call him back in a minute!
There were no troubles with scheduling and they arrived as scheduling. They were able to complete all of the work in the same day. They were very nice, courteous, and efficient. It was a great experience!
John arrived on time. Was friendly. Diagnosed the problem quickly. Replaced two large springs, reset the door back into the track and lubricated all the wheels. The door has always been difficult to lift, it weighs about 300 lbs, Johns new springs made it much easier. I thought the price was reasonable.
he arrived the same day I called, observed the problem, told me the cost and time to repair the problem and went to work when I gave the OK. He was professional in every way. He cleaned up after himself and took time to suggest ways I might better care for the door in the future. He replaced both springs and cables and lubricated everything. I was totally impressed and pleased. I would definitely use him again.

The design focused on creating a compact and environmental building that fits in the housing neighborhood.
"Stratigraphy" is a three-story building composed of horizontal layers where exhibit spaces are combined with other functions to create life and synergies between program elements. Lecture and conference rooms are located centrally, close to the exhibition spaces to enrich each other. This creates opportunities for multipurpose use of these various functions.The museum's new entrance invites visitors to an attractive and illuminated foyer with visual axis through the new vertical atrium towards the cultural garden in the backyard. The existing foyer is reprogrammed to a flexible exhibition space with a full-scale replica of a Viking ship. "Viking Room" connects exhibit in Dairy building to the new building and temporary exhibitions spaces in Gallery 2 and Gallery 3. The two new exhibition rooms are located along Peder Klows street in the 2nd and 3 floor.

Voter Turnout Likely To Affect Iraq's Political Future
State's Kozak sees healthy signs of coalition building among parties
By David Shelby
Washington File Staff Writer
Washington – Voter turnout in the upcoming Iraqi elections is more important to the political future of the country than it is to the credibility of the electoral process, according to Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Michael Kozak.
"If people decide to boycott an election … that's their choice. It's part of your democratic choice. You can decide not to go to the polls … but then you have no one to blame but yourself," he said during a January 12 press briefing.
"[I]f the process is clean, whether people choose to take advantage of it or not doesn't undermine its credibility," he added.
Kozak said, however, that broad participation is important for the political future of the country. The local and international players involved in managing the elections and several leaders from Iraq's neighboring countries have called on all Iraqi citizens to participate in the January 30 vote.
Iraqis have shown enthusiasm for the elections, according to Kozak. "When you look at polling come out of Iraq, 84 percent of Iraqis say they intend to vote, and this is not, you know, with somebody twisting their arms," he said.
He said that many of the candidate slates on the ballot are multiethnic and added that he finds it a positive sign that all of the parties and ethnic groups are encouraging each other to participate.
"[T]o me, it's a very healthy thing that all of them are looking and saying, 'well, you know, maybe I've got 60 percent but I don't want to have the other 40 percent alienated from me so I need to pick up some guys from this community and that community and get them on my slate,'" he said.
Kozak noted that this sort of coalition building, both before and after the elections, is common in countries with parliamentary systems that operate on proportional representation. This is the model for Iraq's 275-seat Transitional National Assembly. Parties will be given a portion of seats that reflects the percentage of votes they receive in the election.
In such systems, it is often the case that no single party has a clear majority. Consequently, parties form coalitions to govern and develop legislation.
"[W]hat's really healthy when you look at Iraq these days is that all of these guys are looking around saying, 'you know, I don't want to get this guy too mad at me because I may need him to get something I care about passed when we're drafting the constitution or when we're appointing the new government,'" Kozak said.
Kozak said that he hopes the security situation will not keep Iraqis away from the polls, and he cited various other countries where voters have defied threats from insurgents and gone to cast their ballots.
"[C]ommon people actually have a very strong weapon in their hands. We saw it in [El] Salvador. We saw it recently in Afghanistan, in some areas there where people were trying to intimidate them from voting, and they said no, we won't be intimidated," he said.

Re: Herbicide pollution and GMO labeling
The confusion about the safety of GMOs is quite simple to address. Most of the GMOs in our agriculture are RoundUp Ready crops and almost all GMOs in our food supply are from those crops. RoundUp Ready crops are engineered to be sprayed with the herbicide RoundUp and this technology has become so successful that RoundUp has become a major pollutant (1) and food contaminant (5). This chemical pollution is antibiotic, it impacts the microbiome, impairs CYP enzymes, and depletes food of minerals. As a background paper for the impact of this pollution I offer my speaking notes to the American College of Nutrition conference last October in San Antonio (Texas). Most of the studies I cite were published in the last fiv
Playing God The Rebirth of Family Capitalism or How the Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Sam Walton, Bill Gates, and Other Billionaires Are Undermining America
By Steve Fraser www.Tomdispatch175893
George Baer was a railroad and coal mining magnate at the turn of the twentieth century. Amid a violent and protracted strike that shut down much of the country's anthracite coal industry, Baer defied President Teddy Roosevelt's appeal to arbitrate the issues at stake, saying, "The rights and interests of the laboring man will be protected and cared for... not by the labor agitators, but by the Christian men of property to whom God has given control of the property rights of the country." To the Anthracite Coal Commission investigating the uproar, Baer insisted, "These men don't suffer. Why hell, half of them don't even speak English."
We might call that adopting the imperial position. Titans of industry and finance back then often assumed that they had the right to supersede the law and tutor the rest of America on how best to order its affairs. They liked to play God. It's a habit that's returned with a vengeance in our own time.
'Outrage' Follows USDA's Advancement of New Genetically Engineered Crops
'We need to get off the pesticide treadmill,' said George Naylor, farmer and Center for Food Safety Board Member

Watchdog groups are denouncing the U.S. Department of Agriculture's recommendation on Wednesday to approve new varieties of genetically engineered corn and soybeans as a path towards more toxic pesticides that threaten the environment and public health.
"We are outraged," stated Marcia Ishii-Eiteman, PhD, senior scientist with Pesticide Action Network, adding that the "USDA has turned its back on America's farmers and rural communities."
The new crops are Dow AgroScience's 2,4-D- and glyphosate-tolerant corn and soybeans. They are made to be used with Dow's Enlist Duo herbicide, which contains 2,4-D and glyphosate and is also under review by the USDA.

HBO Documentary Films has secured the North American rights to a new feature-length documentary about pop legends The Bee Gees that will get its TV premiere later this year on HBO and HBO Max.
The film, The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, will focus on the history of the band — featuring brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb — their rise to international superstardom, how their music evolved over the years and the lasting impact their songs have had.
The movie was directed by Frank Marshall, whose previous directing credits include Arachnophobia and Alive, and who has produced such classic films as Raiders of the Lost Ark, Poltergeist, The Color Purple, Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Cape Fear, The Sixth Sense, Seabiscuit, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
"Like so many people, I've loved the Bee Gees' music all my life," says Marshall in a statement. "But discovering their uncanny creative instincts and the treasure trove of music, their humor, and loyalty was a great two-year journey. We are very happy and proud to be with HBO, and it has been an honor to work on this project."
The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart had been selected to be screened at the 2020 edition of Colorado's Telluride Film Festival, which was scheduled to take place this month before being canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tory Silver Brings Blues Rock to Allston 09.19
Observere, the debut album from Boston's Tory Silver, is one of those records that hits you right on the first downbeat and never lets you go. It's dirty and dance-able with a genuine vibe of self-expression. This is a record that needs to be listened to in its entirety, from the tasty licks of "There's No Need", to the smooth Latin grooves of "I've Been Stressing", to the stripped down folk of "I Feel Like". You can catch Tory at Christian A Herter Park in Allston on 9/19. -Brian Varneke

Thank you for your interest in the Land Bank Playbook. We have designed this comprehensive guide to be a resource for those who are planning, establishing, or operating a Land Reutilization Corporation in Ohio. The Playbook contains proven guidelines and best practices, as well as important forms and reference materials. The legislation that enables the Land Reutilization Corporation (LRC) in Ohio is relatively new, each county that establishes a LRC has unique needs, and new best practices emerge regularly. The Playbook is intended to be a valuable resource, but learning from others who are involved with LRC's in Ohio is invaluable as you prepare to launch or continue to improve a county land bank. To learn more about how urban areas are implementing the activities noted in the Playbook or to become involved in Ohio's county and banking community, please contact us at rthomas@wrlandconservancy.org.
Thanks to the generous support of the Fund for Our Economic Future, we are able to provide access to the Playbook online at no charge to you.


Sobotta – Atlas of Human Anatomy with online access to e-sobotta.com: the exam atlas for understanding, learning, and training anatomy The English-language Sobotta Atlas with Latin nomenclature is specifically adapted to the needs of preclinical medical students. Right from the start, the book and the Internet content concentrate on exam-relevant knowledge. The new study concept simplifies learning-understanding-training: Descriptive legends help the student identify the most important features in the figures. Clinical examples present anatomical details in a wider context. All illustrations have been optimized, and the lettering reduced to a minimum. An additional booklet containing 100 tables on muscles and nerves supports systematic study.
Exam coach: For selected, exam-relevant figures nomenclatures can be matched by drag & drop and evaluated immediately.


Many years ago there was a song titled "Dream," and the words went something like this: "Dream when you're feeling blue; dream and they may come true; things never are as bad as they seem; so dream, dream, dream." At least that's the way I remember the first stanza. But the line I want to emphasize is "things never are as bad as they seem." Too many of us have a tendency to overreact to situations without really taking stock of what has occurred. There's another expression: "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, you simply don't understand the situation." There are all kinds of ways to look at life situations, and simply throwing out scary statistics to an unsuspecting public seems to be a popular one these days. Let me explain.
What captured my attention was an article in a recent issue of the Wall Street Journal titled "Fright by the numbers: Alarming disease data are frequently flawed." We all read the newspapers and watch television, and some of the things we hear can't help but upset us. The Journal's examples are typical. One in eight American women will get breast cancer. One in five American men will get prostate cancer. We're told 2 million Americans are manic-depressive and another 2 million are schizophrenic. Add to these statistics projections that at least 60 million Americans have high blood pressure, 12 million have asthma, another 4 million have Alzheimer's disease and one in three are obese. Dwelling on such stats could really heighten our fears, but maybe an explanation about what's behind the numbers needs to be explored.
One of the key reasons we seem to be continually bombarded with alarming health statistics is because most disease advocacy groups are trying, so to speak, to put their best foot forward. If, for instance, they can throw out alarmingly high numbers, observers say it can get them and their organizations more notoriety and maybe even more research money. John Allen Paulos, a mathematics professor and author of A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper, puts it in perspective in the Journal article: "Any group that's lobbying for money is going to try to maximize the number of deaths from their particular malady. Then the numbers are often stated badly, without context, definition and how they're arrived at."
Prostate cancer is a good example. Time magazine recently had a cover story that claimed one in five men will get the disease. However, if looked at in a more realistic manner, the numbers are a little less ominous. For instance, if you're 40 years old now, your chance of getting prostate cancer in the next 10 years is one in 1,000. Looked at over the next 20 years, it's one in 100, which according to the Journal is better than your chance of getting lung cancer. Breast cancer data can be just as scary, with some experts predicting one of every eight women will contract the disease during their lifetimes. But that tells only half the story, according to the Journal. The fact is mortality rates for breast cancer have decreased in recent years. Adds Lawrence Garfinkel, a consultant for the American Cancer Society: "It's much better to talk about the risk of developing prostate or breast cancer in the next 10 or 20 years." With new detection methods and the development of high-tech drugs over the next few years, there's no question death rates from both those cancers will continue to decline, improving the statistics even more.
Remember that context, definition and accuracy are critical when discussing any disease, which is why keeping everything in perspective is so important. No matter what we're told the numbers mean, most of us will live happy, healthy lives, and that's definitely something to look forward to.
