You know when you just crave the ooey goey messy goodness of pizza? Here's a way to enjoy the best of toppings on your pizza without having lots of dough to eat, too! This pizza is super crispy and crusty and easy to make – without having to break out the mixer.
Garlic is an important ingredient in this recipe. We typically use fresh garlic, but we don't want to add more liquid to the crust, so garlic powder is perfect for this recipe. We're also using Italian seasoning – typically a blend of basil, oregano, marjoram, thyme and other Mediterranean herbs and spices. Putting in the crust along with the garlic powder means the crust is packed with flavor and nutrition.
The fresh garlic in the recipe provides anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-microbial benefits. Fresh basil provides many anti-inflammatory qualities as well as antibacterial properties. Basil contains just 22 calories per serving and is nutrient-heavy. One other herb to highlight is the oregano. It is called "mountain joy," and revered as a symbol of happiness by the ancient Greeks and Romans. It contains beta-caryophyllin (E-BCP), a substance that inhibits inflammation and may also be beneficial for conditions including osteoporosis, arteriosclerosis, and metabolic syndrome. What a great way to get many nutrient rich herbs in a fun pizza!
Did you know that you could use oats as a flour substitute? Just use your blender or food processor to buzz them into a fine powder, the same texture as wheat flour.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine oat flour, baking powder, salt and Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Mix in eggs, honey, water and olive oil until dough forms.
To assemble the pizza, spread the dough with sauce, sprinkle with cheese and and add your favorite toppings. Transfer pizza to oven and cook for 15 minutes.
TIP: The best way to form the pizza crust is by dropping a spoonful of dough on a baking sheet and flattening it with wet hands – the dough will remind you of clay. Your edges do not have to be perfect neither does the shape.

James Clerk Maxwell was not only one of the most brilliant intellects ever to walk the earth, he was also one of the most humble and gracious men who ever lived. He made contributions to many branches of science including astronomy, pure math, civil engineering, chemistry, anatomy, physics, and optics. He is most famous for his equations about the relationship between electricity and magnetism. "Maxwell's Equations" are the foundation of the science of electromagnetism. Maxwell's mind was capable of intuitive leaps of imagination, not to been seen again until Einstein came along. Einstein reportedly kept a picture of Maxwell on the wall in his office, saying he (Einstein) was just building on the foundation that Maxwell had made. Sadly, Einstein did not see Maxwell as a role model in other important aspects of life. Einstein was selfish and unfaithful to his family, whereas Maxwell was the model of selflessness and faithfulness. People who knew Maxwell said that his personal qualities were just as impressive as his understanding of science.
As far as I know, this is the only biography of Maxwell written for young readers (upper elementary through high school). The illustrations that appear in this text are a mix of stuff taken from all over the Internet, and I am not sure of the copyright status of many of them. Because I am offering this biography as a free download, I am intending this to be "fair use" for educational purposes.
The book I used the most for my research was Basil Mahon's "The Man Who Changed Everything." I am especially grateful to Basil for explaining the famous equations in layman's terms.
This biography can be used alongside many standard science experiments and activities, and can easily be turned into a whole unit study. I hope to eventually post a list of ideas and resources for a unit study, but I thought I would go ahead and post this now in case I never get around to the unit study page. At least the bio is available.

Review of Woodstock Exhibition "Spillage"
After many years of harnessing technique, pursuing picturing, following trends and restating history, I now avoid making art that is burdened by technique, overwhelmed by thought, or crushed by style. The resulting objects of my latest direction titled SPILLS become, reveal, inform and decide their place in the world's view. Painting has become an experience based on the belief in my hand as a channel of the expression hidden in the materials themselves. It is the resultant dialogue with color and form where my originality still resides. The uniqueness of the object as itself fully revealed presents the viewer with a complex visual experience resulting in direct recognition.
Contributing Participant in Guitai Card Box (2012-2013), exhibited at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
Career Note: Between 1993 and 2002, I abbreviated my career to raise my son as a single father.
As I entered the hot, art-object crowded confines of the Rogallery.com / Auction House in Long Island City, I imagined the sound of a long "Greetiiiiiings" behind me. This salutation was the signature sound that coupled with a crooked grin, sparkling eyes behind unfashionable glasses and long stringy hair with matching beard that each of his friends recognized as coming from one of the 80's most beloved art world characters, furry car and performance artist Stephen "Hoop" Hooper.
Hovering above, a Towers Productions film crew documented the action for a Fox Business Channel series entitled "Strange Inheritance" with Jamie Colby produced by Stacy Robinson to be broadcast next Thursday April 13 at 9 pm..
The event at the Rogallery was the selling off of the celebrity art collection that Hoop inherited from Baird Jones. Baird, was a gossip reporter and club promoter who hosted thousands of parties at nightclubs and galleries in the 80's and 90's. A Groton and Columbia graduate with a trail of degrees (BA, JD, MSW, MA) in tow, Baird was a strange mix of WASP manners and propriety tinged with a decadent and sardonic destructiveness.
I first met Baird at East Village openings where he took photographs that fed his paparazzi-type column for the arts and entertainment newspaper Downtown. At the time, I was living in newly developed artist housing; a renovated silk mill in Paterson, New Jersey's Historic District. Together we cooked up the scheme to use museums to exhibit contemporary art mixed with his own collection beginning with the Paterson Museum. The results were shows such as New Perspectives in Modern Art and The Best of the East Villages Comes to the Nassau County Museum. Baird would hang an exhibition wherever there was an empty wall including the museum's bathrooms. He wrote two books: one on the psychology of jokes and another entitled Mark Kostabi and the East Village Scene 1983-1987 that was chock full of his photos of Kostabi's early years.
The auction was held with the cooperation of Hoop's brother who inherited it all after Hoop's passing in 2011. The collection included art assembled by Baird's father Cranston Jones, a writer and editor with Time and People magazines. The collection featured, among others, people like Miles Davis, Norman Mailer, Henry Miller and Nina Simone. Baird expanded this collection to include many others such as Dee Dee Ramone, Muhammad Ali, Tony Bennett, Louise Bourgeois and David Bowie exhibiting it at numerous club venues throughout the City that included Tunnel, China Club, MK, Club Paradise, Baja, the Roxy, Red Zone and Webster Hall.
My most personal recollections were nights spent at Baird Jones parties at Tunnel in the Chandelier and VIP rooms with celebrities such as Warhol Superstars Taylor Mead and UltraViolet, Twin Peaks' Little Mike Anderson (sitting inappropriately on my girlfriend's lap), Tiny Tim, Malcolm Forbes and Leroy Neiman. One night at Club Paradise on Waverly Place, Hoop stuck his head through a tablecloth on a dinner table in performance while Phil Spector and others munched on turkey sandwiches as they held conversations with the friendly centerpiece.
It was never about Art for Baird. It was about celebrity, the celebrity of the collection's artists, the celebrity crowd he drew on a nightly basis and ultimately his own celebrity. Through it all there was Hoop, Baird's favorite artist and best friend, performing in one outrageous costume after another, exhibiting his fur and day-glo spray paint covered cars outside each venue, greeting the crowd and gathering the art from the walls in the early light of New York City mornings to return it to Baird's storage for exhibition another day.
So there I was sitting again on a couch looking at images from Baird's collection, only now they were streamed onto a screen as lots for the bidding. I was transported back to the Tunnel's Chandelier Room with Finch, Nebraska, Ens, Eins, Vee, Slitkin and many others from the past. New and old friends were there in real time including AOT Executive Director Douglas Turner, Paul Klee scholar Sara Lynn Henry, Baird party goer and journalist Marianne Macy as well as artist friends and fellow Charlie Finch Creative Team members Craig Watson, Erick Pierce, Melinda Hackett and Michael Drury who all bought pieces. Having had my fill of yesterday, I left the auction before its conclusion. Stepping into the steamy Long Island City summer afternoon, I was temporarily blinded by the sun and thought I saw a fur-covered Rolls Royce idling across the street, its driver waiting patiently for this final event to end.
Always seeking an inroad to new sensory awareness through the act of painting by utilizing poetic symbolism or a belief in intuitive intelligence, my work has driven a personal quest for healing in line with primal impulses that were implanted in my childhood home where domestic violence led me to drive my fists into my eyes until all sound disappeared, leaving only color, movement and figurative dancing in the space that remained. A silent and endlessly deep world where fear no longer existed.
In an attempt to confront an aspect of what Walter Robinson has named Zombie Formalism in painting, I developed this conceptual piece that starts with simple geometric abstractions on 9 square canvases. I was further led by an inspiration to establish a primitive territorial space in alignment with my subconscious approach to form through paint spilling. As opposed to my most recent work titled Spills where I allowed paint primacy of voice, the series Dancing in the Square demanded that I initiate a spill process that tapped into an individual passion for figurative form while maintaining my collaborative methodology with materials. The figure acted as an antidote to what I feel is this recent formalist incarnation's narcissism in the face of the human condition of ever expanding poverty as well as cataclysmic threats to global security both human and natural.
Abstraction is the greatest artistic innovation since the discovery of linear perspective. The belief in an ordered and absolute truth, however, is dismissed with each individual's daily human experiences and the lessons of history. Art based on thought in conjunction with individual voice has given the world efficient and effective dehumanizing space that includes what Giacometti called cages, Halley called cells and what became the cube where Bacon felt empowered to deconstruct the human form. Such space functions in today's world as, among others, workstation cubicles, prison pods and social media formats.
With this exploration of formal space as backdrop, stage and playground, I have identified an opportunity to reverse, for myself, the dictum that says the artist is a pure scientist exploring the world of ideas not the senses. These new absolutes are spaces onto which I have imposed human experience in figurative and symbolic nature-based form open to individual interpretation.
In a world that diminishes nature, the extinction of its human inhabitants has been identified as inevitable. I reject the culling of humanity and embrace the truth of the inextricable connection of our species and the natural world. These pictures offer the viewer an opportunity to choose to accept the opportunity to face what is truly the unknowable: each day's existence in cooperation with others and the environment, that includes the city grid, whether in connection with the general population or exclusive groups until death.
Out of the Head and Back into the Heart!

Facebook's desktop and also mobile interaction applications allow users to do totally free Facebook calling online, provided the customer knows Calling On Facebook and also the recipient does, also.
Facebook calling simply means placing a voice call online. Facebook video calling means positioning a phone call with video online.
- Whether you're making use of a home computer or smart phone.
In January 2013, Facebook added cost-free voice calling to its standalone Messenger application for the iPhone. The calls use VOIP, or voice over the Internet, indicating they discuss the Web via a WiFi link or the user's mobile data strategy. The voice calling attribute in Facebook Messenger needs both events to the call to have Facebook Messenger mounted on their apple iphone.
Making a Facebook call, users click on the individual they wish to call from their contact list in Messenger. Press the tiny "I" button on top right of the display to start the call, and after that click the "free call" switch that appears to attach.
Facebook also began used totally free voice calls by means of the Messenger application to Android users in the United Kingdom a couple of months later on, in March 2013.
In February 2013, Facebook included the exact same cost-free VOIP-based voice calling attribute to its normal Facebook mobile application on the iPhone. Basically, that means you do not need to install the different Facebook Messenger app on your apple iphone to earn a totally free voice call. You can do it from within the routine Facebook mobile app.
Facebook has used cost-free video calling on its desktop platform considering that July 2011 thanks to a partnership with VOIP leader Skype. That feature permits Facebook users to call each other directly from within the Facebook chat area and trigger a video clip connection so they can see each other while they speak.
The integration in between Facebook's and Skype's software suggests that Facebook users do NOT have to download or install Skype making video calls to their pals. See Facebook's video calling page to discover exactly how.
All you actually have to understand is that there is a "start a video call" icon in the Facebook conversation interface. You have to have your Facebook conversation activated, and also the friend you wish to call needs to be logged into Facebook, too.
Then click any type of close friend's name in the conversation user interface, and after that you'll see the "video call" symbol (It's a little film electronic camera) appear to the right of their name in a pop-up chat box. Clicking the small movie video camera icon introduces a video connection with your friend, which must activate your computer's web cam if it's configured in a typical method. Nevertheless, the first time you click the "start a video call" switch it will certainly ask you to go through a relatively quick arrangement display or 2.
The Facebook app immediately locates and also accesses your web cam, and also you cannot turn off the video from within the application. If you don't have a web cam, however, you could still phone to a pal and also see them by means of their web cam. They will be able to hear you yet will not have the ability to see you, undoubtedly.
Skype customers could also position a Facebook-to-Facebook voice contact us to their Facebook pals from within the Skype user interface.


Helsinki-based duo Phantom (a.k.a. Hanna Toivonen and Tommi Koskinen) fuse jazz vocals with dark, downbeat electronics. Sure, this probably deserves some kind of micro-genre, but we're just going to call it what it is—impossibly cool. Case in point? The Finnish pair's new single "Shadows." It's a moody track that could single-handedly usher in the second coming of trip-hop. Listen to our premiere below.

A proposed class action alleges Costco Wholesale Corporation has failed to disclose that its Kirkland Organic Roasted Seaweed snack may contain cadmium, perchlorate or other toxins.
According to the 40-page lawsuit, Costco knew or should have known that its seaweed product contained cadmium, a known human carcinogen associated with various health risks, yet failed to sufficiently test the snack and warn consumers of the presence of the heavy metal.
The case claims that consumers, who "lack the scientific knowledge necessary" to determine whether the seaweed snack contains cadmium or other toxins, would not have purchased the Kirkland Organic Roasted Seaweed, or would have paid less for it, had they known about its "true quality and ingredients."
The lawsuit states that seaweed snacks such as Costco's private-label Kirkland Signature product have risen in popularity in recent years due to their perceived health benefits. According to the case, edible seaweed has been associated with improved thyroid function, gut health, immunity and cardiovascular and brain health.
The suit claims, however, that ConsumerLab.com tested certain dried seaweed and roasted seaweed snacks in 2021 and found that a single serving contained 6 mcg of cadmium, a non-essential toxic heavy metal and environmental toxin that has "no known beneficial role in the human body," according to the complaint. Per the case, long-term exposure to cadmium can lead to a build-up of the heavy metal that can cause kidney disease, lung damage and fragile bones. Moreover, the Department of Health and Human Services has classified cadmium as a known human carcinogen, the complaint adds.
The lawsuit alleges that Costco's Kirkland Organic Roasted Seaweed Snack is deceptively labeled in that it fails to disclose anywhere on the packaging that the product contains or has a significant risk of containing "dangerous heavy metals" such as cadmium. On the other hand, the seaweed snack label emphasizes that the product is organic and made with superior ingredients, according to the suit.
"Based on Defendant's decision to wholly omit mention of the presence of cadmium, heavy metal and/or other undesirable toxins or contaminants in the Products, and to instead advertise, package, and market their Products as healthy, nutritious, and organic, claims which were bolstered by images of the seaweed snack on the packaging, they had a duty to ensure that these statements and the message portrayed by the packaging's imagery were true and not misleading," the lawsuit attests. "As such, Defendant knew or should have known the Products included nondisclosed cadmium, and/or other undesirable toxins or contaminants and that over time, these toxins can accumulate to [consumers'] detriment."
According to the case, Costco's failure to disclose the presence of cadmium in its seaweed product was "deceptive, misleading, unfair, and/or false" and allowed the big box retailer to reap "enormous profits" from consumers who paid a premium price for the snack.
The lawsuit, which was recently removed from San Diego County Superior Court to California's Southern District Court, looks to represent consumers who purchased the Kirkland Organic Roasted Seaweed snack in the U.S. for household or business use (and not for resale) between January 26, 2018 and the date of judgment in the case.

Fresh From a yearlong renovation to mark its 25th anniversary, a legendary Langkawi resort has been updated and upgraded, embracing its rain Forest setting as never before.
By Christopher p. Hill
« The entire paleo-geological history of Malaysia—More than half a billion years' worth—happened to this tiny island," declares Irshad Mobarak over dinner on the terrace of The Datai's Beach Club restaurant. "All kinds of rock substrate were laid down over the eons: sandstone, limestone, shale, mudstone, chert. So there's an in- credible diversity of soil types too. This means lots of different flora, which in turn means lots of different butterflies—535 species in all, almost nine times what they have in the United Kingdom, and more than twice the number found in Sri Lanka. It's incredible."
And there's plenty more than butterflies lurking in the dense rain forests and mangrove fringes of Langkawi, a 370-square-kilometer island off peninsular Malaysia's Kedah coast. Just ask Mobarak. The self-taught naturalist has called Langkawi home for the last three decades, during which time he has acquired an encyclopedic knowledge of the local wildlife. His statistics include 260 species of birds, among them three types of hornbills, Asian fairy bluebirds, racket- tailed drongos, and brahminy kites, from which the island derives its name; dozens of different turtles and frogs and snakes; and 51 mammal species. The latter include the enigmatic colugo, a nocturnal oddity that looks like a cross between a lemur and a bat. As if on cue, three of the creatures glide into a sea hibiscus tree next to the terrace, their glowing red eyes flickering momentarily in the shadows… »
« …A quarter of a century ago, The Datai put sleepy Langkawi on the map for luxury travelers. The concept was groundbreaking: a tropical island resort set not on its beachfront, but crouched on a forested ridge 300 meters back from the sea. (Today's 13 beach villas are a much later addition.) Originally inaccessible by road, the site was selected by Aman resorts founder Adrian Zecha—an early partner in the project—as he surveyed Datai Bay's jungly backdrop from a boat. With Singapore-based Australian architect Kerry Hill hired to design the hotel, the decision was made to place the main structures in the forest. "We felt that the biggest experience here was the jungle, not the sea, even though there's a wonderful beach," recalls Didier Lefort, the French architect and designer responsible for the original interiors. "The sea you can get anywhere, but to be surrounded by tropical forest is very rare. That's what makes The Datai…"
« …At the spa, where treatments revolve around Malay healing traditions and ramuan "potions" made by infusing oils with medicinal foliage plucked from the herb garden and surrounding forest, an air-conditioned treatment room has been added to the existing four open-air spa villas. Also new is a mani-pedi studio by Bastien Gonzalez, the celebrated French nail guru… »

Foot fetish: where to find the world's best pedicure Why it could be handy to take off your nail polish before bed otherwise, discovers...

Everyone needs a vacation. Maybe it's the break from everyday routines. Maybe it's the sea air coming off the Atlantic hitting you in the face and clearing your head of the year's accumulated worries. Whatever it is, there's nothing quite like it to refresh and rejuvenate you and your family. So as we stood on the deck of the ferry carrying us from Cape Cod to Martha's Vineyard we found ourselves carried further still into new adventures and freshened spirits.
Families of children with special needs can find it hard to get away. When our daughter was younger the behaviors associated with her autism frustrated our attempts to have stress free, pleasant vacations. Danielle was always in constant motion in those days. She'd run from place to place in what looked like haphazard fashion. Once she cried and cried on the car ride home adding to our overall disappointment and taking away any happy vacation memories we might have had.
Fortunately as Danielle has matured many of her challenging behaviors have improved. So this summer we decided the time was right. We loaded all of us into the van and headed north to New England for a fun-filled family vacation. This time we were not disappointed!
Our first stop was Cape Cod, specifically Hyannis. What better place to begin than where our country's first Catholic President John F. Kennedy spent his summers. We stopped in at St. Francis Xavier Church, where the Kennedy family attended Mass. When Danielle saw the beautiful statue of Mary she knelt reverently. We were happy. We could see that the years of teaching reverent behaviors to Danielle had given her an appreciation for the sacred and a means to express it. It was an auspicious start to a great vacation.
The following morning we took the ferry to nearby Martha's Vineyard. There was a time when we would have held onto Danielle's wrist for dear life fearing she might decide to climb up over the railing and do a swan dive into the chilly water along the bow. But to our delight, Danielle behaved beautifully on the ferry. She laughed and smiled and was at ease. So were we. We were free to enjoy the salt air and contemplate the God whose loving and creative presence is the source of all beauty.
We had a wonderful time on our vacation. Highlights included walking along the marina at night, sailboats silhouetted against a full moon, and white cliffs on the far side of the island. We even tracked down a bridge that appeared in the movie Jaws. Most of all we had fun. Special-needs families need to remember how important it is to find time for fun.
Now that we're home and back to our familiar routines, it feels good to reflect on our vacation. Our special-needs family has come a long way. Each one of us.
Glad you had such a successful and fun trip!


P: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Me: Dude, what's funny? She just died.
P: Yeah, I don't have empathy for people, it's not like it was a dog or something.
Wow. So death = funny. Hopefully, it's the copious amount of substance in his brain and not a warning sign of serial killer tendencies.
~laughing harder now~ It's not like it was a dog or something.. oh man, and people think I'm cold.
I laughed in the theater during "saw"....nobody joined in the revelry.
Dude, so far he seems normal. I think you are exaggerating... but i'll read further.
Man, on his blog there's an entry "Watched that retarded Deep Impact movie and laughed when that chick died. Now my roommate's trying to convince me I'm a sociopath because of it. WTF?"
as long as he cares about animals you'll be ok, mostly.
I actually think that stuff all the time. If its people in movies that die I couldnt care less but if it is an animal, I want to cry.


Hydrothermal activity at Raoul Island has continued, but at a low level, since the March eruption according to a media release from GNS Science.
The volcano known as Raoul Island, in New Zealand's Kermadec Islands, erupted without warning on March 17th. The volcano is part of an island chain that sits above the interface between the subducting Pacific Plate and the overlying Australian Plate between Samoa and New Zealand, an area that has experienced increased activity within the last year.
GNS Science, through their website Geonet, released the first official update on activity at Raoul in 2 months, late yesterday.
The report mentions that hydrothermal activity at Raoul Island continues at a weak level. Within the crater at Green Lake activity has continued at a low level at vents formed in March and, whilst the lake level has continued falling, the lake is still above its pre-eruption level.
An adjacent vent, which forms part of Oneraki Beach on the northern shore of the island has also exhibited continued activity since the March eruption. Following the eruption, the area occupied by hot springs increased and, whilst the temperatures measured in this area remain at normal levels, the extent of the springs has not returned to pre-eruption levels.
Earthquake activity near Raoul declined following the eruption, whilst tectonic quakes in the wider area increased during April and May. However, the report by Steven Sherburn, Duty Volcanologist at GNS Science notes that earthquakes within 30 to 40 km of Raoul have increased slightly within recent weeks.

Państwa Szanów – księstwa (później protektorat brytyjski) zajmujące obszary dzisiejszej Mjanmy (Birmy), Junnanu w Chinach, Laosu i Tajlandii od końca XIII w. aż do połowy wieku XX. Określenie "Państwa Szanów" było użyte po raz pierwszy w okresie brytyjskich rządów kolonialnych w Birmie dla geopolitycznego oznaczenia pewnych obszarów kraju (nazywanych oficjalnie Sfederowanymi Stanami Szanów, odpowiadających dzisiejszym stanom Szan i Kaja). W niektórych sytuacjach używano określenia Syjamskie Państwa Szanów w odniesieniu do Lanna (północna Tajlandia) oraz Chińskie Państwa Szanów w stosunku do szańskich regionów w południowym Junnanie, takich jak Xishuangbanna.

Opis
Pierwsze państwa Szanów zaczęły powstawać w obrębie dzisiejszych granic Mjanmy w okresie Królestwa Paganu na obszarze wyżyn Szan i Kaczin, a proces ten przyspieszył po upadku Paganu pod naporem Mongołów w roku 1287. Szanowie, którzy przybyli wraz z Mongołami, pozostali i szybko zaczęli dominować na większości obszaru północno-wschodniej Birmy – począwszy do położonych na północy terenów dzisiejszego stanu Czin, poprzez północno-zachodnie ziemie zajmowane obecnie przez prowincję Sikong, aż do współczesnej Wyżyny Szan na wschodzie. Nowo powstałe państwa Szanów miały charakter wieloetniczny, obejmując poza Szanami znaczną liczbę mniejszości, w tym Czinów, De'angów, Pao, Kaczinów i Birmańczyków. Najpotężniejszymi spośród tych państw były Mohnyin i Mogaung znajdujące się na terenie obecnego stanu Kaczin, a w dalszej kolejności Theinni, Thipaw, Momeik i Kyaingdôn zajmujące północną część współczesnego stanu Szan.

W okresie od XIII w. do XVI w. Państwa Szanów były siła dominującą w polityce Górnej Birmy. Najsilniejsze spośród nich – Mogaung, Mohnyin i Theinni – stale najeżdżały ten region. W roku 1364 Mogaung spowodowało upadek królestw Sikongu i Pinya. Konfedarcja Państw Szanów pod wodzą Mohnyin podbiła w roku 1527 królestwo Ava i sprawowała władzę nad Górną Birmą aż do roku 1555.

Mimo wszystko, Państwa Szanów były zbyt rozdrobnione, aby oprzeć się wkraczającym na scenę większym sąsiadom. Na północy Chiny dynastii Ming anektowały w roku 1380 dzisiejszy Junnan, łamiąc ostateczny opór Szanów w latach 40. XV w. Na południu Birmańczycy podbili w roku 1557 wszystkie Państwa Szanów, które będą później znane pod nazwą Birmańskich Państw Szanów. Chociaż od tego czasu Państwa Szanów stały się zależne od birmańskich królestw z doliny rzeki Irawadi, szańscy saopha (wodzowie) zachowali duży zakres autonomii.

Pod rządami brytyjskiej administracji kolonialnej Sfederowane Państwa Szanów składały się z nominalnie suwerennych jednostek, z których każdą władał miejscowy monarcha, ale całością administrował jeden brytyjski komisarz. Po odzyskaniu przez Mjanmę niepodległości w roku 1948, Sfederowane Państwa Szanów zostały przekształcone w stany Szan i Kaja wchodzące w skład Unii Birmy i mające prawo do wystąpienia z niej. Jednak rząd wojskowy Ne Wina zlikwidował Państwa Szanów wraz z dziedzicznymi prawami saopha w roku 1962.

Historia

Powstawanie państw
Pierwsze państwa Szanów zaczęły powstawać w obrębie granic dzisiejszej Mjanmy w okresie Imperium Paganu. Pierwsze większe państwo Szanów powstało w roku 1215 w Mogaung, a następne w 1223 r. w Mong Nai. Była to część większej tajskiej migracji, która doprowadziła też do powstania Królestwa Ahom w roku 1229 i Królestwa Sukhothai w 1253 r. Migracja Szanów przyspieszyła po pokonaniu Paganu przez Mongołów w roku 1287. Szanowie, którzy przybyli wraz z Mongołami, pozostali i szybko zaczęli dominować na większości obszaru północno-wschodniej Birmy – od północno-zachodnich ziem obecnej prowincji Sikong, aż do współczesnej Wyżyny Szan. Nowo powstałe państwa Szanów miały charakter wieloetniczny, obejmując poza Szanami znaczną liczbę mniejszości, w tym Czinów, De'angów, Pao, Kaczinów i Birmańczyków.

Państwa członkowskie
Większość Państw Szanów była małymi księstwami zorganizowanymi wokół głównego miasta danego regionu. Prowadziły one skomplikowaną grę składając hołd silniejszym państwom, czasem kilku jednocześnie. Mniejsze państwa, takie jak Kale, Banmaw, Nyaungshwe, Mobye, składały hołd silniejszym, takim jak Mohnyin, Mogaung i Theinni. Największe spośród Państw Szanów płaciły z kolei daninę większym sąsiadom, takim jak Królestwo Ava i Chiny.

Konfederacja Państw Szanów

Konfederacja Państw Szanów była grupą państw szańskich, która w roku 1527 podbiła królestwo Ava i rządziła Górną Birmą do 1555 r. Początkowo w skład Konfederacji wchodziły Mohnyin, Mogaung, Banmaw, Momeik i Kale. Na jej czele stanął Sawlon, władca Mohnyin. Siły Konfederacji najeżdżały Górną Birmę przez cały początek XVI w. (1502–1527) i stoczyły serię wojen z królestwem Ava i jego sojusznikiem – szańskim państwem Thipaw. Ostatecznie Konfederacja pokonała królestwo Ava w 1527 r., a jego tron zajął najstarszy syn Sawlona Thohanbwa. Thipaw i jego wasale, Nyaungshwe i Mobye, przystąpiły do Konfederacji.

Powiększona w ten sposób Konfederacja rozciągnęła swoją władzę do Pyain pokonując w roku 1533 swojego niegdysiejszego sojusznika, Królestwo Pyain. Do ataku na Pyain skłoniło Sawlona przekonanie, że były sojusznik nie udzielił mu wystarczającego wsparcia w jego wojnie z Ava. Po zakończeniu wojny przeciw Pyain Sawlon został zamordowany przez swych własnych ministrów, co spowodowało próżnię na szczycie władzy. Chociaż jego syn Thohanbwa w naturalny sposób próbował objąć przywództwo Konfederacji, nigdy nie został przez innych saopha w pełni uznany za pierwszego pośród równych.

Luźna konfederacja zlekceważyła możliwość interwencji w ciągu pierwszych czterech lat wojny Taungoo-Hathawaddy (1535–1541) toczącej się w Dolnej Birmie. Nie doceniała ona powagi sytuacji aż do roku 1539, kiedy królestwo Taungoo pokonało Hanthawaddy i zwróciło się przeciw jej wasalowi – Pyain. Ostatecznie saopha podjęli wspólne działanie i w roku 1539 wysłali armię z zadaniem odbicia Pyain. Jednak połączone siły Konfederacji nie zdołały utrzymać miasta podczas kolejnego ataku Taungoo w 1542 r.

W roku 1543 birmańscy ministrowie zamordowali Thohanbwa i osadzili na tronie Ava Hkonmainga, saopha Thipaw. Dowodzeni przez Sithu Kyawhtina wodzowie Mohnyin uważali, że tron Ava należy do nich, jednak w obliczu zagrożenia ze strony Taungoo zgodzili się oni niechętnie na przywództwo Hkonmainga. W 1543 r. siły Konfederacji najechały w dużej liczbie Dolną Birmę, zostały jednak odparte. W ciągu roku 1544 siły Toungoo zajęły obszar sięgający aż do Paganu. Konfederacja nie podjęła już kolejnych prób najazdów. Po śmierci Hkonmainga w 1546 r. królem Ava został jego syn Mobye Narapati, saopha Mobye. Wśród członków Konfederacji znów z pełną siłą wybuchły kłótnie. Sithu Kyawhtin ustanowił konkurencyjne w stosunku do Ava lenno w Sikongu, po drugiej stronie rzeki Irrawadi, i ostatecznie wypędził Mobye Narapati w roku 1552.

Osłabiona Konfederacja nie była w stanie stawić czoła dowodzonym przez Bayinnaunga siłom Taungoo. Bayinnaung zdobył Ava w 1555 r. i podbił wszystkie Państwa Szanów w serii kampanii wojennych przeprowadzonych w latach 1556–1557.

We Saith Truly, The Doctor Findeth his Spine

Jim Abrams has written an article where he notes that Dr. Bill Frist, the majority leader of the United States Senate, said that his fellow "Republican," Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, will have to prove himself worthy of being placed in charge of the powerful Judiciary Committee when the new caucus votes soon. This stems from Mr. Specter's announcement, after winning his latest term ins squeakers in both the primary and general elections, that appeared to indicate that he would block pro-life nominees from the Federal Courts.
"That loud roar you hear in the background is applause from thrilled Republicans across the nation, for they finally see that their heart surgeon senator has a spine, and he is willing to use it! Bravo!"
Dr. Frist, wanted to make it clear that a chairman must understand that he is responsible "to the feelings, the wishes, the beliefs, the values, the procedures that are held by the majority of that committee." The Majority leader then added that Specter, as chairman, "has a clear obligation ... to take what the president nominates (and) get that nomination through committee." That loud roar you hear in the background is applause from thrilled Republicans across the nation, for they finally see that their heart surgeon senator has a spine, and he is willing to use it! Bravo! As we know, the illness of the Chief Justice, and even The November 13 scare about the health of Vice President Cheney, will require conservatives to have the freedom to obey the people, without a loony and immature minority trying to obstruct progress by any means possible.
Conservativity is already on record as supporting Clarence Thomas' elevation to Chief Justice, and the use of the "nuclear option" to break all filibusters on judicial nominees if needed. We even go as far as to advocate, in the event of a Democrat-incited "nuclear winter," where they use filibuster to stop all Senate business, the use of the relatively novel "thermonuclear option" to forever quash the filibuster, a change that many conservatives and liberals advocate. The only question as to whether or not this would work is the GOP headcount in the Senate. Subtracting the "liberal four" GOP members (Specter, Snowe, Chaffee, Collins), we now have 51 votes for any judge or justice we so choose, and we also have enough votes to use one or both nuclear options. It may well be that our beloved senator did not lack a spine, but rather the big stick necessary to enforce that which his spine so desperately wanted to do -- enact the GOP agenda. The people, again showing the wisdom that God gave them, have responded. They gave us 55 senators, effectively removing the shackles that the tyrants in the minority attempt to impose, namely the use of unconstitutional filibusters to keep liberal wackos in charge of the judiciary branch. No more!
"It may also be that Senator Frist is sending a signal to the people that Mr. Specter, dean of the GOP's 'liberal four,' was against using the nuclear option. The nominations of Kuhl, Estrada and others went down in flames partly because of the intransigence of these four lefties who hide behind the elephant logo. Ahhh, but we elephants have long memories."

The nominations of Kuhl, Estrada and others went down in flames partly because of the intransigence of these four lefties who hide behind the elephant logo. Ahhh, but we elephants have long memories. Mr. Specter's statements will ring badly with the GOP caucus in the Senate. I think that we'll see Mr Specter on the committee, but not in the charman's seat. This will be good for America. The GOP is much more committed to the principle that government derives from the people, not vice versa.
Dr. Frist, we are with you. If you use the Nuke option, we're there with you 100%. Use the thermo option, we're with you 100%. Specter as a janitor in the committee room? The cheers will deafen you. You have our support and your spine, and those things together ought to be sufficient to effectuate the will of the people as expressed at the Ballot Box.

FOOTBALL FOCUS
Libertyville snaps 2-game skid, keeps playoff hopes alive
By Rusty Silber
Daily Herald Correspondent
Updated 10/8/2021 11:11 PM
Libertyville has taken a another step in trying to clinch a spot in the football playoffs.
The Wildcats had to deal with a stingy Zion-Benton team, but pulled out a 30-20 road victory in a North Suburban Conference game in Zion on Friday night.
Libertyville improved its overall record to 5-2 and 3-2 in the NSC, while Zion-Benton lost its fifth straight and dropped to 2-5 and 0-5.
"There were times that it was good and times it wasn't good," said Libertyville coach Mike Jones after seeing his team break a 2-game losing streak. "We have some young guys in our secondary that are getting better, but aren't there yet. So there's a little bit of work to do. It's high school football and there's always something to work on."
The Wildcats played without starting running back Tommy Latka, who was out with an injury for a second straight week, and there were several other players that missed the game.
"We've taken a big step from last week to this week," Jones said. "They were kind of thrown into the fire last week. They had a week of practice and got a little bit better. But, we still have things to clean up. It's was big, because we lost two in a row. It changed the momentum and our outlook."
Charlie True filled in for Latka with 14 carries for 154 yards and scored 3 rushing touchdowns (10, 50 and 5 yards).
"It was great playing with Tommy out, since he's injured," True said. "I've been working hard in practice and it showed tonight. We were just playoff ready and we treated this as a playoff game. The O-line eats yards and they're great amazing players. They gave me space. They're the reason I got those yards."
Wildcats' quarterback Connor Dickson (20 carries, 134 yards) scored the other touchdown on a 30-yard run and Luke Kompere kicked a 33-yard field goal.
Zion-Benton hung in the game within a couple of scores and was down to one possession late in the second quarter until Libertyville extended the lead to 23-7 by halftime.
"Our kids battled back," Zion-Benton interim coach Macarthur White said. "They fought through some adversity early in the game. Sometimes, your true character has to show and I believe I believe our true character showed here tonight. I'm most proud of them to finish strong."
Zee-Bees running back La'zarious Geater led the way with 18 carries and 125 yards. Quarterback Tyshion Gordon threw for 2 touchdowns to Deshon Twyon for 50 yards and for 38 yards to Tra'don Jones-Pugh. Gordon also scored on a 2-yard run for the other score.

Luke Butterworth and James Faulkner splintered Queensland's top order before James Hopes mounted a brazen counterattack to leave the Sheffield Shield final nicely poised after a rain-shortened day two in Brisbane.
On a Gabba pitch that gathered pace but still offered generous movement to the pacemen, the Tigers were bowled out for 241 before reducing the Bulls to 5 for 55. From this uncertain platform Hopes and Chris Hartley played their shots, but will need to face a fresh Tasmanian attack on the third morning.
Alister McDermott had concluded the Tigers' first innings with the handsome figures of 6 for 54, before Butterworth and Faulkner claimed two wickets apiece. The prolific wicket-taker Jackson Bird accounted for Chris Lynn.
Earlier, Butterworth and Tom Triffitt had resumed in search of a substantial innings for the Tigers, but were immediately discomforted by the movement on offer for the Bulls with the second new ball. Triffitt was soon to edge Steve Magoffin, while trying to leave a delivery whirring awkwardly down the corridor outside off stump, and Butterworth followed when he drove a little too impetuously to cover.
Brendan Drew and Jason Krejza added some nuisance runs before McDermott wrapped up the innings with the final two wickets, claiming figures enviable by most - only five other Queenslanders had claimed five wickets in a Shield final.
Granted a brief session to bowl before lunch, the Tigers made it count. Butterworth's immaculate line drew edges from the bats of Alex Kemp and Wade Townsend before it was time to adjourn, leaving the Bulls a nervy 2 for 9 at the interval.
On resumption Faulkner chimed in to account for Joe Burns and Andrew Robinson, Burns snicking an attempted drive and Robinson bunting a catch to Ricky Ponting at short mid-on. When Chris Lynn succumbed to Bird, fencing a lifting delivery to gully, Queensland were a punch-drunk 5 for 55.
However Hopes and Hartley had memories of past Shield triumphs to steel them, and went on to establish the most aggressive partnership of the match so far. Making light of a dreadfully slow outfield, Hopes coshed eight boundaries on his way to a half-century, and Hartley contributed usefully also.
Both batsmen were the beneficiaries of wasted difficult chances, before the rain brought an early close. Given the flurry of wickets and the capricious nature of the pitch, a draw appears highly unlikely.

Effects of the federal government shutdown have reached Southwest Florida.
Along with whatever impact on air traffic controllers and TSA security screeners, the ongoing logjam in Washington had a direct impact on another component of aviation over the weekend. The Marco Island and Naples squadrons of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) held a long-scheduled joint exercise for practice and training in dealing with rescues and searches Saturday and Sunday.
As originally conceived, the "Search and Rescue Exercise," or SAREX, had the local CAP members coordinating with a helicopter coming from the U.S. Forest Service at its Big Cypress base. But funds and personnel for the federal component of the exercise were not available, so the CAP officers went ahead without them, said Marco Island's CAP Squadron 376 emergency services officer Maj. Bob Corriveau. The CAP crews are all unpaid volunteers, so there is no question of withholding pay that they don't receive in the first place.
The weather didn't cooperate 100 percent, either, with high crosswinds on Sunday afternoon, that exceeded the CAP guidelines for safe air operations, grounding the last flights of the SAREX. Nevertheless, said Corriveau, the operation was "an outstanding success," and accomplished their objectives.
"We flew a total of 15 flight sorties, along with two ground sorties," said Corriveau. Flown out of the Marco Island Executive Airport, the Marco squadron's base, flights were carried out by both the Naples squadron's Cessna 172, and Marco Island's newer Cessna 182 with updated electronics on board.
The ground sorties, involving sending personnel out to find a simulated downed aircraft somewhere out in the woods after it had been spotted by air crews, were handled by cadets from the Naples cadet squadron. In all, 22 senior CAP members and 13 cadets participated in the SAREX, said Corriveau.
"We have a tarp that mimics a downed aircraft. We put that on the ground along with an ELT, and the flights fly their search patterns and home in on the signal," said Corriveau. ELT stands for emergency locator transmitter, a radio beacon similar to the EPIRBs used on boats. During the SAREX, the ELT transmits on a separate frequency to avoid anyone thinking it is an actual emergency rather than a drill.
The first aerial mission by the Marco "Black Sheep" squadron was flown with squadron commander Lt. Bob Boone at the controls, although the Naples aircraft, which had flown down from their base at the Naples Airport (formerly Naples Municipal Airport) got off the ground ahead of them. As befits a quasi-military operation, everything must be done "by the book," with a long list of requirements, briefing, paperwork, checks and doublechecks carried out, and then checked again, before heading out.
Boone flew with a crew of three total. Along with him as pilot, Major Marian Motyl-Szary as observer beside Brown in the front, and Fred Edwards in the rear as airborne photographer. They pulled the Cessna 182 out of its hangar across the field from the CAP headquarters, and performed a series of preflight tests on the tarmac from a laminated checklist.
The temporary hangar space is necessary because the CAP hangar was squashed as if by a giant fist during Hurricane Irma, in a "micro-burst" that left adjacent structures unharmed. The good news, said Boone, is that FEMA has authorized an approximately $430,000 grant – presumably after the government shutdown ends – to cover 75 percent of the replacement cost, currently pegged at $572,096.26, give or take.
Some area old-timers still think of the "Sundown Patrol" when the Civil Air Patrol, but with budget cuts, higher fuel costs, and the prevalence of cell phones, that mission along the coast hasn't taken place for many years. The squadron gets regular missions from the U.S. Air Force, and flies once or twice a week on average, said Boone.
To contribute to help rebuild the hangar for the Marco Island Civil Air Patrol, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, send a check to PO Box 225, Marco Island, FL 34146. For more information or to consider joining the unit – membership is open – call 239-389-1273, or go online to units.fl376.flwg.us.

Diesel MINI Lowest Depreciating Car
December 15, 2008 Staff New Cars Comments Off on Diesel MINI Lowest Depreciating Car
In a survey of residual values carried by EurotaxGlass's, publisher of the Glass's Guide 'trade bible', the MINI 1.4TD came out with an average trade-in value of 62.3 per cent after three years. It is the second year in succession that the MINI has topped the table of the slowest-depreciating cars, although the downturn in used car values is indicated by the fact that last year it retained 71 per cent of its value after three years.
Seven of this year's top 10 are cheap to buy and run, small and fuel-efficient. The almost identical Citroen C1, Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107 were second, fourth and fifth respectively. However, the Ferrari F430 coupe and spyder took third place, retaining 60.9 per cent of their value after three years. The Lamborghini Murcielago was in eighth place (55.2 per cent), while rear- and all-wheel drive Carrera versions of the Porsche 911 were in tenth (54.8 per cent).
The Smart ForTwo was in sixth (56.7 per cent) while Seat's Leon hatchback, in 1.9- and 2.0-litre diesel guise, came seventh. Toyota's petrol/electric Prius hybrid was sandwiched between the Lamborghini and the Porsche in ninth place, retaining 55.0 per cent of its value.
Adrian Rushmore, managing editor at EurotaxGlass's, said: "The factors that help make the MINI as close to recession-proof as possible in the current used car market are its strong image, reasonable running costs and its high levels of perceived quality. It also benefits from being seen as a good compromise for those who need to downsize from a larger, more expensive premium-brand offering."
The worst-depreciating cars have mainly all been out of production for some time. The worst performing was the Alfa Romeo 166, which has a trade-in value of only 12.0 per cent of its new price after three years and 37,000 miles. The Rover 75, Rover 45/MG ZS and long-in-the-tooth Saab 9-5 retained between 14.6 and 17.4 per cent of their value respectively.
The rest of the 10 poorest performers were the Kia Magentis, Vauxhall Vectra, Jeep Cherokee, Renault Vel Satis, Mitsubishi Shogun Pinin and the Rover group's short-lived City Rover.

Rovio Slashes 130 Jobs
Rovio Entertainment, the company behind the Angry Birds app, has announced plans to lay off 130 workers, approximately 16 percent of its workforce. "We have been building our team on assumptions of faster growth than have materialized," the Finnish mobile development firm said.
Industry watchers say the mobile game business has become increasingly competitive as larger companies increase their ad spending and squeeze out smaller companies. For example, Rovio's competitor King, maker of Candy Crush Saga, last year spent more on marketing (approximately $500 million) than Rovio received in annual revenue ($197 million).
Although it has tried to branch out with other titles, no other apps made by Rovio have experienced the success of the Angry Birds franchise.

Politics 2012: The Primary
Tomorrow is Federal primary election day in New York State. In terms of administrative cost per ballot cast, it will be an expensive exercise. The turnout rate among eligible voters will surely be low, and abstention in many cases makes sense. It makes sense so many decisions have already been made. Formally speaking, Democrats and Republicans will be nominating candidates for United States Senator and for U.S. Representative from each of the State's 31 congressional district.
But in the majority of cases, the decision has already been made. Thus, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is assured of the Democratic Senatorial nomination, because nobody has filed a challenge. And in 14 of the 31 of the congressional districts, there is an intra-party nomination contest only on the Democratic or the Republican side, but not both.
From the standpoint of GreeneLand Republican and Democratic voters, respectively, there is one intra-party contest to be decided at tomorrow's primary.
THE SENATE RACE
Three Republicans are vying for the opportunity to try to oust Ms Gillibrand from the U.S. Senate. Ms Gilliband has held the seat since January 2009, first by gubernatorial appointment (to replace Hillary Clinton, who resigned in order to become President Barak Obama's secretary of state), then by special election in November 2010 (for the right to complete the Clinton term). Now she is uncontested for the Democratic nomination and the Working Families Party and Independence Party nominations, to win a full six-year term. She has amassed a big war chest, has not been obliged to spend any of it in primary election contests, shines in opinion polls, and is running in a strongly Democratic territory.
Vying for the right to be Senator Gillibrand's Republican challenger are, in alphabetical order, Wendy Long, George Maragos and Bob Turner. For information about those candidates, see biographical information on Wikipedia. For the way they choose to present themselves (and each other, and the meaning of the 2012 election), see their campaign websites: www.wendylongfornewyork.com , www.maragos4ny.com and www.turnerforny.com.
All three candidates profess to be "conservative" and all eschew the labels "moderate" and "centrist" (among others). They differ, however, in what they designate as priorities. Mr Maragos and Mr Turner give primary attention, initially, to jobs and economic recovery. That orientation (as distinct from ObamaCare, illegal immigration, same-sex marriage, abortion, socialism, left-wing radicalism, getting our country back, saving our national soul) seems to be the basis for distinguishing candidates who are moderates conservative from candidates who are "conservative."
Mr Maragos (accent on first syllable) is comptroller of Nassau County, serving a second term after upsetting an incumbent. He offers the special attraction of being an immigrant. He was born in Greece, went to Canada with his family, graduated from McGill University, and launched a career in business management and finance that brought him and his family permanently to America.
Mr Turner is completing his first term as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. After a rather illustrious career in advertising and television programming, he won that office by way of a special election in a preponderantly Democratic district in Queens. His previous career was in television programming and advertising. He is subject to suspicion of being a closeted moderate. One piece of evidence: refusal to join most Republican House members in signing the notorious Grover Norquist pledge to actively oppose, in all circumstances, any and all tax increases.
Ms Long qualifies to be ranked as the most "conservative" contender for the Republican nomination. She is the endorsed Conservative Party candidate (and thus will appear on the ballot even if she does not get the Republican nomination). She is endorsed by putatively conservative icons Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, John Bolton, Norquist and Steve Forbes. She opines (on National Review Online) that the impending national election imposes a choice "between two radically different paths. The solvency of the federal government, the future of free enterprise, the security of our people and the very character of out nation are all in the balance…." Her interest in winning public office can be viewed as a natural concomitant of her work as a lawyer, as a judges' law clerk, and then as founder of a pressure group, the Judicial Confirmation Network (later the Judicial Crisis Network) that is devoted to ensuring that authentic "conservatives" get appointed to high judicial office. Supreme Court judge Clarence Thomas, she declares, is one of America's "greatest living judges."
From the standpoint of entertainment, a general election battle between Ms Long and Senator Gillibrand might offer the liveliest spectacle best value. Those two candidates share not only a gender, but also a similar background: both are lawyers with strong accomplishments, both are poised and articulate speakers, and both graduated from Dartmouth College (in 1982 for Stone, 1988 for Gillibrand).
From the competitive Democratic standpoint, the ideal result of Tuesday's primary on the Republican side probably would be the nomination of Mr Maragos or Mr Turner.
Ms Long would still appear on the general election ballot, as the Conservative standard –bearer. That arrangement would split the ranks of anti-Democratic, anti-"liberal" voters.
THE HOUSE RACE
For GreeneLand Democrats, Tuesday's primary offers a choice between two contestants for the right to be the party's nominee for election to the U.S. House of Representatives: Julian Schreibman of Ulster County and Joel Tyner of Dutchess County. The winner of that contest will be pitted in November against Christopher Gibson, the Republican (and Independence Party) nominee (via the absence of an intra-party challenge) who is the quasi-incumbent. Representative Gibson presently holds the seat that is identified as the State's 20th congressional district. He won that seat in November 2010, unseating the one-term Democratic incumbent, Scott Murphy,who had succeeded the one-term representative, Kirsten Gillibrand, who had wrested the seat from a previously entrenched Republican). After the 2010 election, however, the boundaries of all congressional districts in New York were redrawn (by the State Assembly, in keeping with legal requirement). Greene County had been part of the 20th district. Now it is part of the 19th.
Participation by Democrats in Tuesday's 19th district primary election makes sense, as a practical matter, if the choice between prospective challengers to Mr Gibson is competitively consequential. The choice is consequential if the seat can be deemed winnable, and if one would-be nominee stands a better chance of winning.
On the former question, the most solid basis for a positive estimate is the fact that the new 19th district contains a bigger proportion of Democrats than the old 20th district. Encompassing the new district are six counties and portions of three other counties. One of those counties--not part of the old 20th district--is Ulster. Democrats there out-number Republicans, and independents have joined them in giving strong support to long-serving Democratic Representative Maurice Hinchey (who is retiring). In the old 20th district, registered Republicans out-numbered Democrats by a margin of 50,033. In the new 19th district, thanks largely to the inclusion of Ulster County, the Republican numerical edge is only 5634 (153,492 to 147,858). Meanwhile, as reported by the State's Board of Elections, 26,591 residents of the 19th district are registered as Independence Party adherents, 11,330 as Conservatives, 2308 as Working Families Party members, 1670 as Greens, and 121,380 (!) as un-partisans.
Those enrollment figures provided one of two considerations prompting the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Washington to add New York's 19th district to its roster of Republican-held seats that could be rated plausibly as prospects, with appropriate infusion of resources, for Democratic takeover. The other consideration that prompted that "Red to Blue" judgment was the availability of a seemingly viable candidate: Julian Schreibman.
On the matter of viability, Mr Schreibman presented to the DCCC, and later to the public, evidence of strong local support (financial and otherwise), of past involvement in Democratic campaigns, and of an attractive personal history.
As recounted in news stories and in his campaign web site ( www.julianforny.com),
Mr Schreibman, 39, is the son of a couple who ran a small Kingston business, He was first in his family to go to college, thanks to loans and part-time work. His college, and his subsequent law school, was Yale. His professional career includes stints as a Federal Government lawyer (for the Central Intelligence Agency), as Special Assistant to the district attorney of Ulster County, and as partner in a private law firm. Politically, he has been active in Democratic campaigns and won election as chairman of Ulster County's Democratic committee.
By way of contrast, Mr Tyner, 42, says nothing on his web site (www.joelforcongress.org )
about family origins. He lives with his mother. He graduated from Rhinecliffe High School and then from SUNY New Paltz. He works intermittently as a substitute teacher. Politically, he has won four terms as a Dutchess County legislator from a Republican-leaning district. That electoral record is all the more remarkable in view of the fact that Mr Tyner presents himself as a staunch "progressive." His roadside signs proclaim allegiance to the so-called Occupy movement ("We are the 99%"), as well as giving special prominence to condemning hydrofracking. His activities, however, have not attracted strong support from fellow Dutchess co-partisans. The county's Democratic committee has endorsed Mr Schreibman. So have the party organizations in Greene, Columbia, Sullivan, Rensselaer and Ulster counties, along with numerous other organizations and noteworthy individuals, including the revered Representative Hinchey.
Mr Schreibman's success in picking up endorsements around the 19th district stems in no small measure from showing up. By way of contrast, again, Mr Tyner has made few appearances away from home. There have been no campaign mailings from Mr Tyner to 19th district Democrats. From Mr Schreibman there have been five. Some of them dwell on what he promises to do, or to better than the Republican incumbent, namely,
*Protect Medicare and Social Security
*Help small businesses and family farms.
*Invest in infrastructure and rural broadband
*Work to protect our air and water
* Stand up to the Republican extremists who are slashing funding for women's health.
*Fight to end the giveaways to Big Oil and to make our tax laws more fair so that millionaires pay their fair share.
This disparity in campaign activity can be ascribed partly to the disparity in resources. Mr Tyner's campaign visibility has consisted largely of those roadside "We are the 99%" signs. His camp also put out an anonymous automated opinion survey, asking respondents whether they prefer a "legislator and progressive activist" over a "C.I.A. lawyer and party boss." And folk singer Pete Seeger recorded an endorsement. Then there was last week's colloquy in New Paltz between the candidates—their only direct encounter. According to Press reports, differences in policy stands did not come to the fore, but the two speakers differed in "tone." Mr Tyner made "sharp attacks" on Mr Schreibman and on the moderator. This contributed to the warmer applause bestowed on Mr Schreibman. It also prompted Mr Tyner's treasurer, next day, to quit his campaign, and to do so in a dramatic way. In statements to the Press, Mischa Fredericks accused Mr Tyner of failing persistently to record outlays properly. And she finally took that step, she said, because of Mr Tyner's "atrocious," "horrendous" conduct during the New Paltz encounter. To that blast Mr Tyner responded that Ms Fredericks must be an enemy "plant." He also accused her of sexual harassment.
P.S. Contrary to rumor, the two candidates do not disagree on "fracking." Both are opposed. Mr Schreibman voiced his opposition clearly at the New Paltz encounter and at a recent Catskill gathering. In his words, "bad for the environment; bad for the economy."
