Hawaii Inmates Returning From An Arizona Prison Test Positive For Covid-19
So far 21 prisoners who were on the flight from Arizona have caught the coronavirus.
By Kevin Dayton / August 30, 2022
State prison officials have ordered mass Covid-19 testing of all Hawaii inmates serving time in a privately run prison in Arizona after five inmates who returned to Hawaii on a regularly scheduled rotation earlier this month tested positive upon arrival.
The five were among 118 inmates sent back to Hawaii on the same chartered flight on Aug. 18. Rapid testing of all of the inmates after disembarking detected the five, and follow-up testing has found a total of 21 prisoners on that flight have caught the coronavirus so far, according Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Toni Schwartz.
Hawaii holds more than 1,000 inmates at the Saguaro Correctional Center in Eloy, Arizona, because there is no room for them in Hawaii prisons. Saguaro is run by private prison operator CoreCivic, which told Hawaii prison officials that none of the inmates had Covid-19 symptoms when they boarded the aircraft, Schwartz said.
However, "the Department of Public Safety has expressed concern to Saguaro and CoreCivic about the recent positive inmate cases and has instructed Saguaro to mass test all inmates at the facility and include testing prior to transfers," Schwartz said Monday in a statement.

The newly arrived inmates are all in a "mandatory travel-related intake quarantine" as described in the Department of Public Safety's Pandemic Response Plan, according to Schwartz.
Inmates are placed in a 10-day quarantine prior to travel to monitor for symptoms of Covid-19, she said, and Saguaro reported that no inmates were exhibiting symptoms. All had their temperature checked prior to boarding and were cleared for transport by Saguaro.
In a written response to questions about the new cases, Schwartz said Saguaro reported no new Covid-19 cases in June or July, and data from the department shows the company has reported fewer cases per capita among inmates at Saguaro during the pandemic than Hawaii's largest prison.
For some, that raises questions about the accuracy of the data being provided by the company, especially since Hawaii has had much lower per capita Covid-19 infection rates overall than Arizona.
Hawaii correctional staffers have speculated for some time that CoreCivic may be reporting low numbers of Covid-19 infections because Saguaro tests less often than Hawaii, and data published by the state Department of Public Safety suggests that may be the case.
Halawa Correctional Facility, which is Hawaii's largest prison, was holding 795 inmates as of last week, and had done 12,279 Covid-19 tests since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. Saguaro, which was holding 1,086 Hawaii prisoners last week, had done just 3,898 tests of the Hawaii inmates in Arizona, according to the department.
Not surprisingly, Saguaro also reported far fewer positive tests.
Saguaro reported more than a year ago that as of Aug. 10, 2021, a total of 657 Hawaii inmates there had tested positive for the virus. More recently, the company reports the total number of inmates who had tested positive as of Aug. 23, 2022 climbed to 696, which amounts to just 39 new cases in more than a year.
By comparison, the total number of positive tests of inmates at Halawa nearly doubled during the same period. The total number of positive tests of prisoners at Halawa increased from 596 on Aug. 10, 2021 to 1,166 on Aug. 23 of this year. That amounts to 570 new cases during the past year.
The virus has been blamed in the deaths of 10 Hawaii prisoners who died in custody since the pandemic began, including eight inmates at Halawa and two at Saguaro. Two other prisoners who died at Saguaro also tested positive for Covid-19, but those fatalities were blamed on the inmates' chronic health problems.

Tomás Sánchez de Ávila, né en octobre 1550 à Cordoue et décédé le  à Grenade, était un prêtre jésuite espagnol, confesseur, théologien et écrivain moraliste de renom.

Biographie

En 1567 il entra dans la Compagnie de Jésus. Il fait ses études de philosophie et de théologie à Grenade, ville dans laquelle il vivra toute vie. De 1582 à 1606 il est le père spirituel du collège San-Pablo de Grenade. Il exerce parallèlement une intense activité de confesseur et de conseiller spirituel auprès des autorités religieuses et civiles de la ville. Théologien moraliste reconnu il est souvent demandé pour donner son jugement sur de nombreuses questions relatives à la vie quotidienne. L'écriture sera pour lui un moyen de se faire connaître.

Luis de la Puente, alors recteur de l'université de Grenade et plus tard déclaré « vénérable », atteste de la sainteté de Sánchez dans une lettre à Francisco Suarez, dont on peut trouver une traduction dans la Bibliothèque royale de Belgique à Bruxelles.

Œuvre principale
Sánchez est de ceux dont on s'est trompé sur la personne, car trop rapidement jugé à partir de ses écrits. Il est pris à partie, en particulier, par Blaise Pascal dans ses Provinciales où Sanchez est tourné en dérision et accusé de laxisme. Son ouvrage principal, et le seul qu'il a lui-même révisé, est le De sancto matrimonii sacramento. On dit que la première édition parut à Gênes en 1602; mais il se peut qu'il s'agisse seulement du premier volume in folio, pour lequel la permission d'imprimer fut accordée en 1599, car les deux volumes successifs contiennent aussi bien dans leur préface que dans la dédicace de l'auteur la date de 1603. La première édition complète fut, selon Carlos Sommervogel, celle de Madrid, 1605; plus tard suivit une série d'éditions imprimées à différents endroits avant comme après la mort de l'auteur. La dernière édition semble avoir été publiée à Venise en 1754.

L'ouvrage eut une destinée extraordinaire, du fait que quelques éditions du troisième volume furent placées à l'Index des Livres interdits. La raison n'en était pas tant la doctrine de l'auteur, mais des altérations faites à son travail et la suppression de ce que l'auteur avait enseigné. Même dans les premières éditions de l'Index comme révisé par Léon XIII, jusqu'à sa constitution Officiorum ac munerum, nous pouvons toujours lire : « Sánchez, Thom. Disputationum de Sacramento Matrimonii tom. III. Ed. Venetiae, sive alarium, a quibus 1.8 disp. 7 detractus est integer num. 4. Decr. 4 Febr. 1627 ». Ce nombre ne figure pas dans l'édition de Venise, 1614. Sanchez envisage le pouvoir qu'aurait le pape de légitimer validement la progéniture issue de mariages invalides au seul regard du droit canon par ce que l'on appelle sanatio in radice. Le mode d'expression de l'auteur dénote une verbosité pas toujours satisfaisante. Comme il s'occupe de chaque point possible sur le sujet, Sánchez en a acquis, et tout à fait à son corps défendant, une réputation d'immoralité.

Œuvre posthume
Peu après la mort de Sanchez parut un deuxième ouvrage, Opus morale in præcepta Decalogi ; le premier volume in folio fut terminé par l'auteur lui-même, mais le deuxième, aussi bien que le troisième, Consilia moralia, dut être compilé à partir de notes personnelles manuscrites. Ces travaux passèrent également par une série d'éditions différentes et ont également été accusés de laxisme, surtout en ce qui concerne la question de ce que l'on appelle la « restriction mentale » (restrictio mentalis).

Il est vrai que nous trouvons dans Sanchez (op. mor. in præc. Decalogi, III, vi, n. 15) la vingt-sixième thèse condamnée par Innocent XI; « si quelqu'un, de lui-même, ou devant d'autres, qu'on l'ait interrogé ou qu'il le fasse spontanément, qu'il veuille s'amuser ou non, vient à jurer qu'il n'a pas fait une chose qu'il a vraiment faite, en ayant en vue une autre qu'il n'a effectivement pas faite, ou qu'il a faite d'une autre façon que celle dont il est question, ou n'importe quoi d'autre qui est effectivement vrai : il ne ment pas, et ne fait pas un faux serment. » La thèse repose sur une définition particulière de ce qu'est un « mensonge », chose qui effectivement n'est pas facile à définir et qui n'a occupé la subtilité des érudits que depuis l'époque de saint Augustin jusqu'à la nôtre. Sanchez ne considérait pas que toute restriction mentale fût toujours permise, mais discutait simplement sur la culpabilité en elle-même du mensonge ou du faux serment; il ne niait pas qu'un autre péché, même grave, pût être impliqué dans cette action. Selon Franz Xaver Wernz (Jus decretalium, IV, n. 20), la Curie romaine aujourd'hui range officiellement le livre De matrimonio parmi les travaux classiques sur le mariage.

Although tour has now ended, I am going to pick up where I left off and continue giving some day-to-day posts from the road. These will lead up to Polyrhythmics' big shows in Portland this Friday and Bend this Saturday, as well as the grand finale in Seattle on November 24.
A few things about Eric Rouse.
Polyrhythmics met Eric at one of our shows years ago, and he's come to many shows since. For this Midwest run, Eric offered to drive himself, put himself up, and follow us on tour to sell merchandise for us. This was incredibly gracious, obviously! I didn't know exactly how it would go, to be honest, because it's so different to hang with friends at shows, when the focus is to have fun and get down, than work with them and have them deal with the business side of things the way that we do on the road.
Also, we've been lucky to have enthusiastic, genuine, and positive merchandise heads in the past; our good friends Lauren and Maxianne did several extended tours with us, handling all things merch-related. But with this tour, Eric did awesome. He was a valuable asset, and we were grateful to have him, as we have been with all of our merch family!
The Old Rock House in St. Louis was a beautiful restored old building (established in 1818!) with a big stage and big dance floor. As I mentioned in the last post, the folks that brought us there were really enthusiastic, and the crowd was a little thin but absolutely could not wait to talk to us and tell us to come back. The Gateway Arch looms over the entire city, and is really impressive. I thought it was really cool, but I didn't have time to explore. After the show, I flew home to teach for a couple days (as well as do laundry, pay bills, and make sure the cats still recognize me).
I would meet back up with the guys on Day 12, in Boise. More on that next!
Current listening: Makaya McCraven, "Where We Come From"
After Elijah (I know him as Eli, but I believe he's come to introduce himself as Elijah) and I connected on London artists like Shabaka Hutchings and Nubya Garcia, both of whom I've talked about before, he hipped me to Chicago musician Makaya McCraven. McCraven played the Royal Room in Seattle a couple months back, it so happens, but his most recent album is a collaboration between London and Chicago musicians, with songs and improvisations remixed/cut up or left alone, and all released on a single record. It's a super inspiring project, with a story as interesting as the music itself!

Updates/Listening to the London Scene
By admin, September 11, 2017 1:26 pm
It's been an eventful Summer:
– Polyrhythmics played across the region, including the Eclipse Festival and the High Sierra Music Festival, where I had the opportunity to share the stage with both Skerik (who I talked with on the blog here) and Karl Denson, a musical highlight for me. We added the finishing touches to the next album, set to release 9/20, and are asking fans, friends, and family to preorder it at http://www.pledgemusic.com/polyrhythmics . Check it out! There are other fun gifts and thank yous for supporting on that site as well.
– Theoretics performed at Capitol Hill Block Party and are working on a new EP. We're continuing to move in a different direction from previous sounds, and I am really excited to continue. To me, the music fuses a more composed, layered approach with a creative and spontaneous treatment of sounds and textures, and it's changing how I think about writing and playing music, in a good way. I hope to share it with you all soon!
– I moved to a slightly different part of town with my girlfriend, a little more out of the way but still connected to what I need personally and musically. With how busy things have been it has been difficult to really get settled (3 months later and we still have pictures to hang and boxes to unpack!), but all things in time. Honestly, it has been nice to feel as though I'm getting away a bit when I come home; it has been easier for me to focus on what needs to get done.
In other news, I've been more and more interested in what seems to be a particular circle of creative musicians based in London, and it's been fun to listen to their similarities and differences in sound based on that common geography.
I had heard the Heliocentrics from Adam, our drummer in Theoretics, quite a while ago, but recently, after they released a new full length album, I went back and got back into them. In addition, they began popping up in my social media feed more. Here is their drummer and producer, Malcom Catto, giving a tour of his recording studio (just click). There also was a Gilles Peterson podcast on which Catto and bassist Jake Ferguson talked about some of their jazz influences, as well as influences outside of that genre like Ennio Morricone and Can. Unfortunately, it looks like that podcast is not available anymore.
Listening to Gilles Peterson's playlists after that was really informative because of their stylistic range; although genres like Electronica, Jazz, and Hip Hop are more fluid in America than they were 10 years ago, in my opinion, it seems they are still more fluid in Britain.
At the same time that I was listening to the materials above, I started listening to and following saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings. As it turned out, Hutchings had worked with Heliocentrics in the past, but predominately plays with his own group Shabaka and the Ancestors, which sounds significantly different from Heliocentrics, in a good way. Again, through social media I saw more and more from him – clips of interviews, concert footage (Hutchings posted a great clip of an Ancestors show where Kamasi Washington sat in, really beautiful), etc. Also, check out his account of playing with the Sun Ra Arkestra: A Meditation on my Experience with the Sun Ra Arkestra
A fourth element of this London scene I listened to was Yussef Kamaal, a duo collaboration with another unique take on creative London music. Although the duo is no longer considered together, Kamaal Williams, aka Henry Wu, is quite active on my feed, and I'm interested to see what he does next. And, as before, even with major differences in their musical approach, sound, and style, there is a common thread – Yussef Kamaal's album Black Focus was engineered by none other than Malcom Catto of the Heliocentrics.
Anyway, I recommend checking out any of the artists mentioned above. It has been enlightening and interesting listening to them over the last couple of months!

Why shopping will never be the same
By Jon Swartz, USA TODAY
SANTA CLARA, Calif.
Nola Donato has seen the future of retail, and it is in a Magic Mirror.
The Intel scientist has designed a high-tech mirror that shows how clothes look on a consumer who simply stands in front of an LCD monitor. Parametric technology simulates body type and how fabrics fit based on weight, height and measurements.
Think of it as a digital fitting room. The concept is three to five years from fruition but could open the door for Intel in the retail market.
The convergence of smartphone technology, social-media data and futuristic technology such as 3-D printers is changing the face of retail in a way that experts across the industry say will upend the bricks-and-mortar model in a matter of a few years.
"The next five years will bring more change to retail than the last 100 years," says Cyriac Roeding, CEO of Shopkick, a location-based shopping app available at Macy's, Target and other top retailers.
Within 10 years, retail as we know it will be unrecognizable, says Kevin Sterneckert, a Gartner analyst who follows retail technology. Big-box stores such as Office Depot, Old Navy and Best Buy will shrink to become test centers for online purchases. Retail stores will be there for a "touch and feel" experience only, with no actual sales. Stores won't stock any merchandise; it'll be shipped to you. This will help them stay competitive with online-only retailers, Sterneckert says.


Ontario offers some of the best birdwatching in the world. More than 475 bird species have been spotted in Ontario, nearly 73 per cent of species found in Canada.
Long Point sits on a 40-kilometre sand spit that extends into Lake Erie. Located southwest of Port Dover, it is a world-renowned refuge and stopover for migrating birds in fall and spring.
Presqu'ile, south of Brighton, is a major flyway for migrating birds, home to waterfowl and shorebirds, and a staging point for Mexico-bound monarchs.
Rondeau's observation tower overlooks a marshland where herons, bitterns and rails nest. More than 80 per cent of Ontario's bird species have been observed at this Chatham-Kent park.
Port Burwell, southeast of St. Thomas, is one of the best places to witness the fall migration of hawks, monarchs, blue jays and dragonflies.
MacGregor Point stretches along seven kilometres of Lake Huron coastline. Home to the annual spring Huron Fringe Birding Festival, this park south of Port Elgin is open year-round.
Lake Superior provides good bird watching opportunities because of the diversity of habitats in the park. The transition between the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence and boreal forests supports a mix of northern and southern species.
Birdwatchers can pursue their hobby by day or camp overnight. Campsites can be reserved online 24 hours a day or by calling the park reservation line at 1-888-ONT-PARK between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. daily. Visitors can have a whole year of fun with a Ontario Parks annual day-use pass.
Come and see what you can spot now or plan a trip to experience the annual migration in full swing.

The living standards of families with children reporting low incomes
The government has high-profile child poverty targets which are assessed using a measure of income, as recorded in the Household Below Average Income series (HBAI).
However, income is an imperfect measure of living standards. Previous analysis suggests that some children in households with low income do not have commensurately low living standards.
This report aims to document the extent to which this is true, focusing on whether children in low-income households have different living standards depending on whether their parents are employed, self-employed, or workless.

Scoop survivors want provincial apology and action
Survivors of the 1960s scoop living in Saskatoon hope provincial leaders will follow the example set Thursday by Manitoba premier Greg Selinger.
Selinger was the first Canadian premier to formally apologize on behalf of the province for the '60s scoop – the policy under which aboriginal children were taken from their homes and placed with Caucasian families or in foster care.
The scoop ripped more than 20,000 indigenous children away from their families in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, creating a loss of culture, language and identity. Jacqueline Maurice, who was one of those children, based her PhD thesis on her childhood, which was spent in 14 foster homes. She also wrote a book, The Lost Children: A Nation's Shame, to give voice to the forgotten, stolen generation.
Maurice said Manitoba's formal apology sets an example for the rest of the country and she hopes in time Saskatchewan will do the same. However, she noted an apology should not be made unless the financial resources and human supports are in place for the traumatized people who come forward.
Official affirmation can lead to healing, but an apology issued without followup action doesn't mean anything, she said.
"It'd just be opening old wounds, the rawness and the realness. People need to know where to turn."
Premier Brad Wall could not be reached for comment Thursday.
Maurice said it's important to acknowledge tragedy is still rampant today for aboriginal youth in Saskatchewan and Manitoba's failing foster care systems.
Lynn Thompson went through about 25 foster homes after she was taken at the age of three from the Pine Creek First Nation in Manitoba. Thompson, who now resides in Saskatchewan, said she is excited about the long overdue and deserved apology.
Apologies validate survivors' existence, she said. "We're often swept under the carpet – completely forgotten and lost. We didn't go to residential schools and were raised in a white world."
She said governments should also acknowledge the people whose personal records were intentionally destroyed, forged or altered.
An apology can only be the first step in moving forward, Thompson said, noting compensation is necessary as many survivors have lasting emotional and physical scars.
She said she hopes Saskatchewan will follow Manitoba's formal apology with its own, and also hopes First Nations will begin to accept survivors back into their culture. She said it's important they become a part of the First Nations circle once more.
"Right now we live in two worlds, and both worlds don't accept us."
Thompson helps run a '60s scoop support group at Station 20 West in Saskatoon.

Baltimore Sun's New Hire: An Oil-Funded Climate Denier
Special Programs Climate & Energy
Written by Salvatore Colleluori
Published 01/15/14 9:19 AM EST
The Baltimore Sun recently signed a deal with Maryland conservative blog Red Maryland to provide content for its website. But one of the site's editors, Mark Newgent, has worked for organizations that receive funding from fossil fuel companies to attack climate science.
Baltimore Sun Signs Deal With Conservative Maryland Blog Red Maryland
Baltimore Sun Approached Red Maryland To Provide Conservative Content For The Paper. A piece published by The Baltimore Sun and authored by Mark Newgent, an editor of the blog Red Maryland, explained that the paper approached the blog about providing content for both the print and online opinion sections of The Baltimore Sun. [Baltimore Sun, 11/19/13; Red Maryland, accessed 1/7/14]
Red Maryland Editor Mark Newgent Worked For Anti-Climate Science Organizations
Mark Newgent Was A Fellow For The American Tradition Institute (ATI) And Climate Strategies Watch. According to his biography on WatchdogWire, a project of the right-wing Franklin Center, Mark Newgent "has served as a fellow for the American Tradition Institute and Climate Strategies Watch researching climate and renewable energy policies in the states." [WatchdogWire, accessed 1/7/14]
ATI Was Funded By The Energy Industry To Attack Climate Science. An article from The Huffington Post on the founding of the American Tradition Institute (ATI) explained that it was launched by a group "backed primarily by the energy industry" to battle "radical environmentalist junk science" -- chiefly climate science:
Next, a little-known group named Western Tradition Partnership (WTP) got into the act. WTP is a political advocacy group backed primarily by the energy industry. It was first registered as a Colorado nonprofit in 2008 by Scott Shires, a Republican operative who pleaded guilty that same year to fraudulently obtaining federal grants to develop alternative fuels.
In 2010 WTP changed its name to American Tradition Partnership (ATP), and announced that it had launched the American Tradition Institute, a think tank that would be "battling radical environmentalist junk science head on." The "junk science" ATP seems most concerned with is what the US National Academy of Sciences says should now be regarded as "settled facts" - that the Earth is warming and humans are the likely cause.
Last year WTP/ATP fought for a Colorado referendum allowing voters to opt out of the state's renewable energy standard. The standard requires 30 percent of electricity produced by investor-owned utilities to come from renewables by 2030. The referendum's backers missed the filing deadline, but ATI sued Colorado over the standard, and is now targeting similar standards in Delaware, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico and Ohio. [Huffington Post, 11/1/11]
ATI Sued Climate Scientist Michael Mann To Obtain Documents In Attempt To Prove Climate Science Manufactured. The Institute for Southern Studies explained in a special investigation into ATI and its backers that ATI's lawsuit to obtain Mann's emails "has been widely condemned by science, academic and civil liberties groups":
ATI's lawsuit has been widely condemned by science, academic and civil liberties groups, who describe it as a politically motivated intrusion into academic freedom. The board of the American Association for the Advancement of Science said that such legal challenges "have created a hostile environment that inhibits the free exchange of scientific findings and ideas." Earlier this year, public-interest groups including the American Association of University Professors sent a letter to the U.Va. president noting that the Virginia public documents statute expressly exempts scholarly data of a proprietary nature that has not yet been publicly released, published, copyrighted or patented.
"While we need freedom of information laws to hold public officials accountable, the law has exemptions for good reason," said Francesca Grifo, director of the Scientific Integrity Program at the Union of Concerned Scientists, one of the letter's signatories. "Scientists should be able to challenge other scientists' ideas and discuss their preliminary thinking before their analyses are complete and published." [Institute for Southern Studies, 10/31/11]
ATI Predecessor Was Found To Have Broken Campaign Finance Laws. The Institute of Southern Studies' investigation also found that ATI predecessor Western Tradition Partnership was found to have broken Montana state campaign laws "by failing to register as a political committee or properly report its donors and spending." The article continued:
The investigation discovered that the group had solicited unlimited contributions to support pro-mining, pro-logging and pro-development candidates in Montana and avoided disclosing the contributions by passing them along to a sham political action committee that in turn ran attack ads against Democrats.
As Commissioner Dennis Unsworth said in his decision, the group's wrongdoing "raises the specter of corruption of the electoral process." [Institute for Southern Studies, 10/31/11]
Newgent Worked With Noxious Climate "Skeptic" Heartland Institute
Climate Strategies Watch Was A Joint Project Of The John Locke Foundation And The Heartland Institute. The Institute for Southern Studies found that Climate Strategies Watch, which Newgent worked for, was started as a joint project behind the Art Pope-funded John Locke Foundation and The Heartland Institute, which has received funding from ExxonMobil and Koch foundations:
Climate Strategies Watch was a joint project of the Locke Foundation and the Heartland Institute, a corporate-backed think tank in Chicago where Chesser also served as a special correspondent. Heartland has received at least $676,000 from ExxonMobil since 1998. Between 1997 and 2008, they also received $30,000 from foundations connected to the Kochs and another $50,000 from Pope's family foundation. One of Heartland's government-relations advisors also served as Exxon's senior environmental advisor. [Institute for Southern Studies, 10/31/11]
Climate Strategies Watch Co-Sponsored 2009 Conference For The Heartland Institute. According to The Heartland Institute's list of co-sponsors for its March 2009 "International Conference On Climate Change" in New York, Climate Strategies Watch was listed as one of the co-sponsors. [Heartland Institute, 1/22/09]
The Heartland Institute Is Known For Its Attacks On Those Who Accept Climate Science. The Washington Post reported on a billboard campaign launched by the Heartland Institute that compared those who accept climate science to a domestic terrorist:
A stark mug shot of domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski briefly took center stage in the increasingly ugly debate over climate change Friday as the Heartland Institute, a libertarian think tank funded by major corporations, launched a billboard campaign equating people convinced that global warming is real to the convicted killer.
"I still believe in Global Warming. Do you?" read big orange letters next to the Unabomber's infamously grizzled face on an electronic billboard along the Eisenhower Expressway outside Chicago, the Heartland Institute's home.
The billboard went live Thursday afternoon. But by 4 p.m. Eastern time, an outcry from allies and opponents alike led the Heartland Institute's president, Joe Bast, to say he would switch off the sign within the hour.
"The Heartland Institute knew this was a risk when deciding to test it, but decided it was a necessary price to make an emotional appeal to people who otherwise aren't following the climate change debate," Bast wrote in an e-mail to some of the institute's supporters, explaining his decision to end the campaign.
[The Washington Post, 5/4/12]
Newgent Has Cast Doubt On Man-Made Climate Change
Newgent Claimed The "Inconvenient Truth" Behind Climate Change Is That The Earth Is Cooling. In a January 3, 2009, blog post at Red Maryland, Newgent claimed that the earth has been "cooling" and that there is no consensus among climate experts that the earth is warming:
Let's start with the supposed "most disastrous effects of climate change"--but wait its been cooling--oh yeah, I forgot that is the inconvenient truth behind the rhetorical switch to "climate change."
What clear consensus? Is the [Baltimore] Sun referring to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, that 2,500-member panel of experts?Does the writer of this editorial know that only 62 panelists reviewed the chapter in the Fourth Assessment Report, which ascribes warming temperatures to human activity? What about the fact that only four out of 23 endorsed the hypothesis of anthropogenic global warming? Some consensus! I wonder if by "relevant scientific community" the editorial writer means the administrative assistant, computer network engineer, and website designer, who are listed among the IPCC's 2,500 experts.
Perhaps the writer is referring to the summary for policy makers that is edited and written by UN bureaucrats. The SPM is a political document, which downplays uncertainties from the main scientific report, omits contrary evidence, and in many ways disagrees with the underlying scientific report. Oops can't let that inconvenient truth slip out now can we. [Red Maryland, 1/3/09, emphasis added]
Newgent Accused The Sun Of "Deliberately Misleading Its Readers" By Referring To Climate Science As Fact. From a May 6, 2009, post on Red Maryland:
Claim: "That fact (and the science of climate change is settled enough to refer to it as such)..."
Again the Sun is deliberately misleading its readers. The obvious inference here is to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. However, the real question is which report. There are two, the Summary for Policy Makers (SPM), and the Assessment Report (AR) and both say very different things about climate change. The Sun, as most mainstream media always do, refers to the SPM--a decidedly political document--not the underlying scientific AR Report. Only 52 scientists (and 115 diplomats) contributed to the SPM. Only four of the 23 panelists reviewing the AR report chapter that hypothesizes man as the driver of global warming endorsed it. Only 62 of the IPCC's 308 reviewers even read it.
How can any science with such faulty peer-review be "settled?"
Also, if the science is settled why have more than 700 scientists spoken out against the very claims the Sun is parroting? Just doing the math, that's more than 13 times the number of scientists that contributed to the SPM! [Red Maryland, 5/6/09]
According to Ethics Daily, the list of 700 "scientists" included at least one creationist without a college degree. Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported that "Top scientists from a variety of fields say they are about as certain that global warming is a real, man-made threat as they are that cigarettes kill." [Ethics Daily, 4/20/09] [Associated Press, 9/24/13]
In Response To Proposed Cap And Trade Plan, Newgent Called Global Warming "A Non-Existent Threat." In a piece that discussed a Maryland proposal to enact a cap and trade program in the state (which eventually passed and is still law), Newgent questioned the proposal and asked, "do [Gov. Martin] O'Malley [D-MD] and the Democrat monopoly care more about supposedly saving the planet from a non-existent threat or acting on behalf of working families?" [Red Maryland, 1/3/08]
Newgent: "Climate Changes, Always Has And Always Will." In a post attacking the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Newgent said that while "polar ice caps melt during warming periods ... they refreeze during cooling periods." He further stated:
Climate changes, always has and always will. That is why Greenland, which is ice, was once green (hence the name) and Vikings lived there and farmed its soil. [Red Maryland,12/19/07]
Newgent Attended The Heartland Institute's 2009 Conference For Global Warming "Skeptics." In a post on Red Maryland, Newgent described his attendance at the Heartland International Conference of Climate Change as "a gathering of over 800 skeptics of anthropogenic global warming."

True Victory
Top 5 Performances from the 2016 IHGF World Championships
The dust has settled (in this case, maybe from the amazing Alaska Snow Marble trophy by hand carved by Carl Hind). As I mentally unwrap the incredible weekend, and recover from the jet lag and constant daylight, there were five specific performances at this year's IHGF Worlds that stuck out to me; five performances that really stirred things up and altered the final tally.
1. The massive shoulder punch from Vladislav Tulacek (Czech Republic)
This was my first-time throwing with "Vlad" and I have to tell you, he's already a force to be reckoned with. This 6'6" 275 lb. beast was by far the most athletic man on the field (and he's only 28, so he's got plenty of time to improve). We all knew we were in for something special from him in the stones; let's be honest, if you're good enough to have an IAAF profile online, then you know your way around the throwing implements. Vlad didn't disappoint in the open stone, as he side-shuffled (yes, side-shuffled) a massive 57'4". Vlad expanded on his shot put prowess to me the day before, "I can throw 18.50m from the stand and 19.00m from the glide. Glide not so good." In my days of throwing, I've not seen a stone leave a shoulder with that kind of speed and force.
2. The third round light hammer clutch throw by Nathan Burchett
The light hammer was a bomb fest by the group. There were seven throws over 130', five of those over 135', and two throws over 140'. Nathan was sitting seventh after two throws and headed into the final throw needing to make a move and earn some points back for the overall. If you've ever seen Nathan throw hammer, you know how gifted he is in the event, and his speed is unparalleled. On his final throw, Nathan threw a clutch 136'1" bomb to move up three spots into fourth. When day one had ended, Nathan, a late addition due to injury, found himself in third place overall.
3. Surprise, surprise – Vlad can chuck a Braemar stone
Day two started with the 23 lb. Braemar stone and to no surprise, Vlad smoked a new field record in the event. Keeping with tradition, the stone simply exploded out of his hand as he intimidated it into the distance. Now, the 45'11" bomb was impressive, but we have to take into account that second place was 41'9" thrown by Lukasz Wenta. Lukasz remains one of the best stone throwers in the world, and I've seen him throw 44'+ in this event with a heavy stone, but Vlad was just in a stratosphere by himself. If he gets his hands on a smaller stone that's closer to 22 lbs, I'd fear for that world record of 47'.
4. Matt Vincent continues to dominate the weights
Matt won both the heavy and light weight for distance events, which I think he does just about every time he steps on the field. But, when we came to the light weight for distance, we were throwing what looked to be a short weight. The tell-tale sign of that was in the results … from the rest of us. Matt blasted a throw at 87'8", only a few inches off the field record set by another amazing weight thrower – Larry Brock. Aside from Matt, only two others even broke 80 feet, which for a competition at this level was a surprise. We all looked that weight over and were sure it was short; whether it was true or the mountains were playing tricks with us, we didn't throw it that far. Well, Matt did. Even more impressive, was that Matt was falling away from almost every throw – had he connected it … well. I can only imagine what he'll throw at the Celtic Classic later this year.
5. Lukasz Wenta (Poland) skies the weight over bar to secure his podium spot
You're always tired at the end of a two-day competition, but Worlds takes it out of you even more. The tension, nerves, stress, and competitiveness prove difficult to be fresh for both days. If you don't believe me, just look at the marks of the final events of championships – many times they are less than what you'd think. We closed with the weight over bar and there were still positions on the line; most notably, Lukasz Wenta and Matt Doherty were tied for third place. They couldn't catch Matt or me, but they would secure their spot on the podium. Lukasz didn't disappoint, as he blasted an easy 17' pull on his second attempt. Lukasz went on to win the event and place himself on the World Championship podium for the first time in his career.
What an amazing experience and honor it was to throw in the 2016 IHGF Heavy Events World Championships. This, coincidentally, was the 35th year for the Alaskan Scottish Highland Games. Tim Kincaid is an incredible athletic director and has been organizing these games for all 35 years. Tim is a long-time bap piper and his appreciation and accommodation to athletes is unlike any other in the bag pipe community; it's a great lesson as to what we can accomplish when we understand that a great games is comprised of quality throwing, entertaining music, skilled dancers, and vibrant vendors. This is certainly a games I'll never forget – thank you, Francis Brebner and Ryan Vierra of the IHGF, for making this opportunity possible for us throwers.

Watching you all compete, knowing my own fatigue from two days of competition (my first games ever, and at 39yo too!), I can only imagine the exertional fatigue and stress you experienced. Yet no matter the issue with weight or rain, you all demonstrated great skill and were truly inspiring to watch. Thank you for also taking time to talk to fans and those of us beginner amateurs who are learning so much from you!
Alan MacDonald June 30, 2016
It was such an amazing experience just watching all of you compete, I can only imagine what an experience it was for you and the other athletes actually competing. Watching you guys compete has motivated me to finally get off my lazy bum and enter into the amateur class at next year's games! Congrats again Dan!

Ever since the age of 15, Joey Yap has been passionate about the study of Chinese Metaphysics and what it brings to the human experience. As his studies progressed, he quickly discovered that knowledge had traditionally been passed down from generation to generation in a secretive and highly selective way - these traditions continued to the modern day. Each time information was passed on, facts were forgotten and wisdom was lost. Interpretations varied. To make matters worse, only a relatively small number of people had access to this knowledge and so any benefits that survived this attrition were not available to everyone.
With the rise of information technology, a new era in Chinese metaphysics has begun. Joey can now shares his passion, studies, findings - and success in life - with anyone. Finally, the "secrets" of Chinese Metaphysics are available for you through a new Home Study Course.
In more recent times, the teachings of Chinese Metaphysics have been misinterpreted and stripped down by those who have an incomplete understanding or lack of interest in them. Classical Feng Shui, BaZi (Chinese Astrology) and Mian Xiang (Face Reading); which have served people since their first incarnations in Ancient China, make no mention of such practices.
Joey set out on a personal mission to restore integrity to the study of Feng Shui, BaZi and Mian Xiang to illustrate how relevant the study of Chinese Metaphysics is to the modern world. He studied and combined the right information from a multitude of sources, dissecting intricate, complex ideas into pragmatic explanations, delivered in plain English. What was being lost and forgotten in the rush forward was now preserved, updated and ready for everyone for the first time thanks to his work.
Joey Yap's ongoing mission is to perfectly fuse Classical Chinese Metaphysics concepts with the world of today. He is succeeding.
When he first began his current mission, many of his Masters told him that his efforts were futile and that he was doomed to failure. With faith in himself, Joey never gave up on his mission despite discouragement. It was worth it. You cannot have growth without change; this is true of both the individual and of wider attitudes.
Today, Joey's structured, professional system, derived from Chinese Metaphysics has had a huge impact in Asia and on the world.
When starting out, he applied his teachings to himself and his own life in order to prove to himself and others that his system could live up to it's dramatic promise.
He has been acclaimed in the prestigious Malaysian Tatler magazine as one of the 'Most Influential People' in the country for 2008-2009 and was listed as Prestige Malaysia's Top 40 under 40 in 2008. In 2010, he was also featured as one of the Young Malaysian Millionaires by Malaysian English daily, the New Straits Times. Joey is now the most accomplished BaZi consultant in the world and continues to hone and perfect his system to this day.
The system you are reading about on this website represents the culmination of his expertise.
The benefits of Face Reading study in all aspects of life are too numerous to fully document and have helped countless thousands achieve their full potential in matters of business and personal success.
Joey's ineffable teaching style and practical advice has made him highly sought after. With his expertise, property developers develop properties in extremely high demand, business owners generate untold revenue and see demand sky-rocket whilst individuals find unprecedented wealth both in career and relationship matters. Crucially, the early illness detection his methods impart has saved many lives. It is safe to say that Joey Yap will continue to be a busy man! In the mean time, his Face Reading Online HomeStudy Course is the next best thing to a one to one consultation. Everything you need to know about face reading is contained within. His Online HomeStudy Course is so complete, in fact, that some students have immediately gone on to provide Face Reading practitioning services from nothing more than what they learnt from the Course!

(b)est. (e)nchiladas. (e)ver.
Convenience often comes at the expense of choice and quality, which is why even if you order your 7-Eleven steak medium-rare, it will come back "Pemmican". Upping the ante for fast Mexican fare, bee: opening Monday.
Helmed by legendary culinary pioneer Monica Greene, bee's being billed as the world's first enchiladeria, a concept that borrows from Chipotle's assembly-line approach, except they use ingredients that meet the standards set by aca y alla, and you don't have to ask them for a key to the bathroom. Start with corn, blue-corn, flour, or wheat tortillas, then fill with your choice of pork carnitas, chipotle chili-smoked chicken tinga, beef brisket, or picadillo (ground beef w/ onions, potatoes, green peppers), or go meatless with pure cheese or spinach & 'shrooms; because it's all about getting sauced, you can opt for the usual suspects (ranchera, sour cream), or step up to exotics like chipotle crema and Oaxaca mole, also the most popular game at Mexico's most fun-tacular pizza joint, Carlito E. Queso. Though 'ladas are the focus, tacos and burritos are also on offer with the same stuffings (+ quinoa & tofu for the burrito), and there's also a flour-tortilla Taco Especiale filled with the fish of the day, but not the Phish of the day, because no sauce can make "Possum" palatable, to say nothing of "Lawnboy".
If you're stuck for ench-spiration, bee's "our way" menu trots out creations like the Ciudad (chili-flavored tortilla, chicken tinga, cotija crema), the Tilapia Veracruz (pan-seared with manzanilla olives) and the fiery Shrimp Diablo -- with Oaxaca cheese, chipotle crema, and tiny creatures meant to be taken down in one Big Bite.

Whether your band wants to cut a CD or you need to record a voice over for a radio commercial, Gitano Productions has the capability to make Digital Audio Recordings to suit any need. All recordings are done using the newest version of Pro Tools, a wide variety of plug ins, microphones, and preamps. In addition to recording, Gitano Productions can handle all aspects that go along with recording including: editing, mixing, mastering, CD duplication, printing and artwork design.
Although we can provide traditional studio recording, Gitano Productions specializes in Live Multi-Track Recording. This means that we have the ability to come to any gig venue and record up to 32 individual channels of audio directly to Pro Tools. This allows the recording to be edited, mixed, and mastered AFTER the gig, as if it were recorded in a studio. Why settle for a simple 2 track stereo mix of your gig? Especially when that engineer is mixing for the sound of the room, not the sound of the recording! The best part is that the live mix has no effect on the recording and the recording has no effect on the live mix. They are 100% independent from each other. This is an excellent way to get a high quality recording while saving a lot of very costly studio time. Additioinally, because all instruments are tracked individually, we are still able to do punch ins and overdubs at a later date.
Recording rates vary from project to project. We prefer to operate on a "project rate" rather than an "hourly rate". Please contact us with your ideas and questions so that we can help you plan your project on a budget that suits your needs.

West Indies Championship
Volcanoes-Hurricanes still in the balance on final day
By	Paul-Andre Walker February 09, 2019
The Windward Islands Volcanoes have 10 wickets in hand and 231 runs to get on the final day of their West Indies Championship game against the Leeward Islands Hurricanes at Windsor Park in Dominica.
Honours have remained even throughout this game with the Volcanoes enjoying a slightly better time with the ball in their second innings.
Sent into bat, the Hurricanes had posted 271 all out, with the Volcanoes replying with 230, a deficit of 41 runs. Every one of those runs were needed when the Hurricanes batted again, as they were dismissed on Saturday for just 199, a lead of 240, which, while no walkover, is certainly gettable.
In the Hurricanes first innings, their total was made possible by half centuries from Montcin Hodge, 61, and Keacy Carty, 54, while starts from Jahmar Hamilton, 26, Rahkeem Cornwall, 21, and Quinton Boatswain, 21 not out added to the tally.
Ray Jordan's 4-47, Larry Edward's 4-73, and Josh Thomas' 2-62 went a long way toward making sure the Volcanoes were not batted out of the game.
The Volcanoes then had to put in a shift to get close enough to the Hurricanes total to make a game of the encounter and 47 from veteran opener Devon Smith, 41 from Sunil Ambris, and a half century from Alick Athanaze, 53, took them close.
Sheno Berridge, 4-42, and Cornwall, 4-48, did not make things easy.
The Leewards did not bat well when they were given a second go at things.
Firstly, they scored more slowly than in the first innings and secondly, they didn't score many, with Devon Thomas' 43 and Jahmar Hamilton's 40, the best it would get.
The Volcanoes are now 10 without loss, Smith on six and Rolando Cato on four.

Dhoni to be dropped for India, Windies tour - reports
India legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni is not expected to travel to the Caribbean for the team's tour against the West Indies.
According to reports, the team has opted to groom new wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant after Dhoni came under criticism for his performance during the ICC World Cup.
"MS [Dhoni] will not go to the West Indies," a source with knowledge of the situation told Times Now News said.
"Going forward, he will not travel with the team within India or overseas as the first-choice wicketkeeper. Rishabh Pant will take over and there will be a grooming window for him until he settles down," he added.
"During this time, MS will help in the transition. For all you know, he could be part of the 15 but not part of the 11. This team needs a guiding hand on multiple fronts and wishing MS away is clearly unhealthy."
The tour will include 3 T20 Internationals, 3 ODIs and 2 test matches in the Caribbean. The tour kicks off with the T20 internationals on August 3 and carries on until September 3, which marks the fifth day of the second test match.
Gower backs Jason Roy Test call-up: He is a real talent
Former England captain David Gower supports the decision to hand Jason Roy a Test call-up with the Ashes looming.
After starring at the top of the order in his country's victorious Cricket World Cup campaign, Roy was named in England's Test squad for the first time on Wednesday, as part of a 13-man party to face Ireland at Lord's next week.
The 28-year-old Surrey batsman, who averages 38 in first-class cricket, now looks certain to open in the first Test against Australia, starting on August 1, having earned selection through his excellent form in limited-overs cricket.
Gower told Omnisport: "Detractors will say that Jason Roy's first-class career has been nothing like his one-day international career. I put something out on Twitter weeks ago now saying 'the talent this man is, can we not adapt him to Test cricket?'
"There are people like David Warner who have successfully become great Test players having been one-day players; there are people like Rohit Sharma who will never play a Test match for India again despite the fact he's just got five hundreds in the World Cup, so it doesn't work for everyone.
"But we [England] don't have particularly great alternatives. My view is that if it works it will be fantastic. If it takes a while to get going, or if it takes him a while to learn the ropes of being a Test match player, then actually we're no worse off than we are at the moment.
"I would happily endorse him as a real talent, who with a bit of luck and hard work could knuckle down to it."
Fast bowler Jofra Archer - another standout member of England's victorious World Cup team - has also been tipped to play a role in the Ashes, although he will miss the Test against Ireland due to a side strain.
"Again, Jofra is an extraordinary talent, he's a brilliant talent," added Gower, a member of the England team that reached the 1979 World Cup final.
"While one would be careful maybe about his workload, as they are about all England's bowlers, which is only sensible, again he is such a beautiful raw talent that I would have him in the side."

New site brings dignity to victims of honour - violence
Posted on 27 June 2011 |
[Women News Network, Colorado, 27 June 2011] According to the United Nations and The International Campaign Against Honour Killing at least five thousand women and girls worldwide are murdered each year to preserve 'family honour'. Many of these women are killed for making personal choices that don't match the limits placed on them by their families and local society.
Personal choices come in conflict with a family's 'honour' when a young woman begins to ask – Who do I want to be my life-partner?; What if I don't want an arranged marriage?; How do I want to dress in public?; What music do I want listen to?; How can I own my own business?; Can I attend a university of my choice?; When will I be able to sing in public, or go dancing?; Can I ask for a divorce if my husband beats me?; Can I attend school?
These questions can bring danger in a society where women and girls are expected to follow strict guidelines.
Judged heavily for such basic freedoms as personal career choices, education, styles of dress, choice of friends and even the number of children they wish to have, women who have become victims of honour violence are trapped in a never-ending cycle of self-denial.
Launched in April 2011 to give a digital memorial to the victims of honour crimes worldwide, a new website called Memini, which means 'remembrance' in Latin, outlines the lives of twenty-five women who have been murdered through honour violence.
Created by award-winning Norwegian filmmaker, composer and celebrity pop singer Deepika Thathaal known as Deeyah by her fans, the Memini site brings an unforgettable look at the haunting faces of honour violence.
Each face on Memini shows a haunting desire to live.
Born in Norway from immigrant parents of Pashtun and Punjabi descent, Deeyah knows well that dangers do exist for women who step outside their society's 'cultural norm'.
"Honour Killings represent the ultimate in control and oppression of women", says Deeyah.
Family members (or friends of the family) are often the ones who carry out the killing in these murders. The violence in honour crimes can be found worldwide.
This severe form of violence against women expressed as honour violence exists today on all continents. Specifically, it can be found within Syria, Egypt, Morocco, India, Turkey, Bangladesh, Jordan, Iraqi Kurdistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine, as well as inside immigrant communities in United States, Canada, Spain, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Norway and the UK.
"The perpetrators of these honour motivated crimes want all signs of the lives of these young women to be completely wiped out – almost as if these young women never existed in the first place," explains Deeyah.
"I reported the incident to the police, but they didn't take me seriously," said Turkish born Kurdish immigrant to Sweden, Fadime Sahindal, as she shared to police her first experience reporting personal threats by family members in a formal meeting of the Sweden's parliament, November 21, 2001.
Less than two months after her speech before the Parliament of Sweden, Sahindal was shot dead at the hand of her father, an illiterate Kurdiah farmer who had moved to Sweden in 1980 as she dared to travel against her fathers' wishes to visit the grave of an 'unapproved' Swedish boyfriend who had been killed in a car accident.
"He said I was rejected from the family and was not allowed to come back to Uppsala (where my boyfriend was buried). If I did I would never leave the city alive," said Sahindal in her report to the police.
While women are not the only ones who suffer from this crime, women and girls make up the majority of victims.
"Many factors such as gender, age, place of residence, education, and tribal and kinship relations, affect how honour is perceived and the place it has in people's lives", says, "The Dynamics of Honour Killings in Turkey" (Feb 2007) by the UNDP – Population Association at the United Nations Development Programme and the UNFPA – United Nations Population Fund.
In Turkey, attitudes about honour violence vary widely according to one's education and background. "Those who openly support honour killings state that a person who committed an immoral act would deserve to die and that the people who are forced to kill them would have no other choice", continues the United Nations report.
Those who work in the field to fight against honour crimes are constantly faced with the same basic question over and over again: "But what can be done to stop honour killings?"
Documenting twenty-five immigrant women and girls from diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds who died from honour killings around the world, the Memini site exists as an on-going project. Many cases include immigrant women.
One case includes the murder of 26 year-old mother of two, Surjit Athwal, who travelled in 1998 from her home in the UK to a family wedding in India.
The very core of the concept is basic, it is the control of women and their behaviour, if they transgress they will be punished, honour killings being the ultimate price a young woman pays and it is the ultimate betrayal by a family of their own child.
What began as a missing-persons inquiry in 1998 with interviews made in the Indian village where Athwal was last seen ended as a landmark 2007 UK court case. The case sentenced two different people, Athwal's mother-in-law and her husband, for personal involvement with her murder.
Anthwal, who was married at the age of 16, was planning to leave her husband and had filed for divorce before she left on her wedding trip. She never did return. Her body was never found.
"An Honour Killing is a planned, group decision. It's a pre-meditated, collective decision. Basically, it's an 'organised crime'", says Deeyah.
Another case, 16 year old Heshu Yones was murdered by her father for having a relationship with a classmate. Similarly, 25 year old Sandeela Kanwal, was also a victim of murder at the hands of her father for asking for a divorce to end an unhappy marriage.
Even though legislation in Lebanon became more stringent with honour-based crimes in 1999, a loop-hole exists in Article 252 of the penal code that allows sentences against honour crimes to be commuted if the violence stems from anger against the victim because the victim has been involved in an 'unjust and dangerous act', particularly an act that involves what is perceived as 'adultery'.
The perpetrator of this crime's goal is to erase the lives of their victims. To erase their presence. To completely remove the "stain" of their existence from this earth.
In 1989 Jordanian journalist and author of the book, "Murder in the Name of Honour", Rana Husseini, collected 159,000 signatures to help change the laws covering honour violence in Jordan, but set-backs and recent changes in Jordan's government has placed honour crimes law reform on hold.
In the meantime, Memini hopes to keep the memory and dignity of victims alive through an expanding online memorial archive.

Heads, I Win. Tails, You Lose
"The Hampton's are a low lying beach. It's not a defensible position." – Economist Mark Blyth
The passage of H.R. 6201, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act is controversial at the least and criminal in its reality. Let's look at how the Congress and this president has made the previous thievery of the Treasury by the W. and Obama administrations look quaint.
Again, instead of writing a bill that would simply and only help workers and small business, both houses of Congress and both parties got this through for their d(owners). While stalwarts of the Progressive Caucus, like AOC and Ilhan Omar railed against the bill as a "a robbery," they voted for it as cheerleaders. It passed the Senate, whose votes included Bernie Sanders and Liz Warren by 96-0.
Sanders did what he does best, "leading fights" which are always losers, later to shrug his shoulders, saying he tried. He's a liar and has been since 1990. The time to try was not the day before recess. The time was the week or so before when the bill was still being hammered out. He could have gotten some people like Warren, Ro Khanna, the Fraud Squad, or Thomas Massie and fight for two separate bills; one for workers and small business and the other for corporations. How would it look to vote on a Corporate only bailout? Exactly.
Meanwhile, there's nothing for student loan forgiveness (college was free when I went), Medicare for all or a UBI. Bernie Grandstand said nothing and neither did AOC, except complain that it was crumbs to the American people. They had the president and his merry thieves over a barrel! Student loan forgiveness is roughly $1.2 trillion, approximately one day of the current bank bailouts.
Meh…what should I expect? Bernie campaigned for Clinton in 1992 and 1996, after NAFTA and the Crime Bill. But he'll say he "led the fight."
However, Schumer, McConnell, Pelosi and company understand that a separate bill to bail out banks would have been met with pitchforks and possible Mussolini style piñata parties… As it is, the bill flew through the Senate.
The over $4 trillion bailout was made to banks and corporations with a pittance of "oversight." Small businesses may participate in $300 billion and workers are to get a "means tested check" which means we can expect riots and looting when worker funds have run out before checks arrive. The Kafkaesque Small Business Administration means the government bureaucracy runs its course to "help" small business, while the banks receive overnight deposits with the push of a button. Hospitals get a whole $150 billion! Gee!
As David Dayen wrote in the American Prospect, "The monopolists get concierge service, the small businesses get to take a number. And the result will almost certainly be massive concentration of power."
This must make any sane person, regardless of their politics, religion, or party angry. As we have seen, there are no capitalists in fox holes; everyone has their hand out for a check and small wonder. In the last 4 decades, we have seen jobs evaporate. Half of all U.S. workers make under $30,000 a year and 63% of Americans don't have $500 in savings for an actual emergency. Most folks got socialist real quick when it was their ass in the pan. That's human nature, isn't it? Zero empathy until it happens to you. Kind of like a Bible story, if I had a dog in that fight.
Therefore, the so called liberal and so called conservative are neo elitist assholes. The Sean Hannitys and Rachel Maddows of the world think food is grown in supermarkets, as Matt Stoller says. This class of people have utter contempt for their lessors. It's beginning to show. People are getting angry.
While Bernie preens that he fought for shit in a bill that was already in there, the 1,000 richest Americans just got a credit card to go on a buying spree of distressed assets on the back of the taxpayer. It's disgusting.
To sum up and why a new movement is coming, like it or not, let's take banking and Wall St. In 1999, the colossally stupid, arrogant and incompetent multi-fecta of Alan Greenspan, Larry Summers, Robert Rubin, Bill Clinton and a host of nincompoops (including Joe Biden and Newt Gingrich) decided that the landmark legislation of Glass-Steagall (1933) was outdated and so these laws were unnecessary because human nature changed? Free markets would, do what exactly?
Flash forward to 2008. After nearly a decade of credit defaults swaps, a diseased housing bubble with insurance companies and banks allowed to co-mingle public deposits and their own funds to recklessly gamble it all, crashed. The initial trillion plus bailout was used to pay dividends, stock buybacks and executive bonuses. Loans were not made to small business, jobs were lost, and 5.1 million families were kicked out of their homes and the banks got to keep the houses to resell, reaping even more profits.
Without oversight, what followed in the last twelve years was this; $26 trillion loaned to the banks at zero interest to then be loaned back to us at rates of 2-35%. $85-90 billion a year in additional subsidies with no oversight, and not one person indicted much less jailed. This is only one industry. Then there's energy, pharma, insurance, defense, agriculture…it's a long list. Capitalism for us peasants, socialism for those who pay for campaigns.
It comes down to this, we require a movement, not a two hour permit to hold a stick because a Scandinavian teenager asks, "How dare you?" or pussy hat wearing toddlers are mad that their prom queen wasn't chosen.
This is how bad it is; we have Trump. Our 2020 "choices" will be Finger Biden or Agent Orange. We require a serious, protracted, bloody revolt. We require a Nixon moment, when after the D.C. transit system had surrounded the White House with buses and the National Guard was called to handle protesters, Nixon turned to Henry Kissinger and said, "Henry, they're going to get us!"
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand started WWI. This bill could have the same result. Sleep tight.

Elizabeth Donata Rawson (* 13. April 1934 in London; † 10. Dezember 1988 in Peking) war eine britische Altertumswissenschaftlerin und Professorin der University of Oxford. Ihre Hauptwerke waren die Geistesgeschichte der Römischen Republik und eine Biografie Ciceros.

Leben
Elizabeth Rawsons Eltern waren Graham Stanhope Rawson und Ivy Marion, geb. Enthoven, die 1930 heirateten. Der Vater hatte einen Dr. phil. in Jena erworben. Ihre Mutter war eine niederländische Jüdin, die in den 1920er Jahren antifaschistischen Italienern half. Rawson wurde früh ein Forschungs-Fellow im 1954 neu gegründeten New Hall, University of Cambridge (1967–1980), und darauf (1980–1988) Fellow und Tutor in Alter Geschichte am Corpus Christi College Oxford, verbunden mit einer Position als Dozent an der Universität Oxford. 1988 wurde sie zum Fellow of the British Academy gewählt. Im selben Jahr starb sie nach einem Lehraufenthalt an der Nankai-Universität. Ihre Bibliothek vermachte sie New Hall.

Mit John Anthony Crook und Andrew Lintott gab Rawson Band 9 der Cambridge Ancient History heraus: The Last Age of the Roman Republic.

Rawsons gesammelte althistorische Beiträge wurde unter dem Titel Roman Culture and Society (1991) publiziert. Zur Methodologie bemerkte sie, dass eine historische Generalisierung nichts bedeute ohne das konkrete Detail, aus dem sie stamme. Ihr Vorgehen wurde als ideen- und theoriefeindlich kritisiert.

Ned Kelly's home-made armour put on display as archaeologists find his grave in Australian prison
Last updated at 12:20 13 March 2008
The home-made armour used by Australia's most notorious outlaw Ned Kelly has been put on display as archaeologists believe they have found his grave.
Unmarked coffins containing the remains of 32 executed prisoners have been unearthed at a former jail in Melbourne, Victoria, and old documents suggest Kelly - the son of an Irish convict - is among them.
The home-made armour in which his made his last stand has now been put on display in the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne.
He was hanged in 1880 but mystery has surrounded his exact resting place. It was previously thought his remains had been accidentally dug up and discarded during pipe-laying work 50 years ago.

Ned Kelly became a folk hero of Australia's colonial past with his gang's daring bank robberies and escapes
Forensic tests are to be carried out on the contents of the coffins, although it may not be possible to identify individuals.
Jeremy Smith, senior archaeologist at the agency Heritage Victoria, said Kelly's bones were probably mixed up with those of other prisoners.
"Identifying the remains of Ned Kelly may prove difficult, as his were not handled with a great degree of care," he said.
"We have not found a single body that we can identify as being Kelly. We may never be able to do that."

Kelly was hanged at the Melbourne Gaol in 1880 and Australian archaeologists believe they have found his grave of Kelly on the site of an abandoned prison
Kelly's head was removed immediately after his execution - various skulls were later touted around Australia as his - but one clue for investigators may be a distinguishing wrist injury he suffered at his last stand, the siege of Glenrowan.
He was originally buried in an unmarked grave at the old Melbourne Gaol, but bodies from that site were dug up and taken to the city's Pentridge Prison in 1929.
It is at Pentridge, which is now being turned into housing, that the coffins were found, partly thanks to an old map which is understood to bear the names of executed men, including Kelly.
Archaeologists, who have been investigating the Pentridge site for two years, found three deep, square pits with the coffins in them.
Victoria's planning minister, Justin Madden, said in a statement: "Although it may not be possible to conclusively match remains to individual prisoners, we hope the analysis will provide a better understanding of the history of the burials following the Old Melbourne Gaol closure in the 1920s."
Born Edward Kelly to Irish Catholic parents in Beveridge, Victoria, in 1854 or 1855, Kelly was a "bush-worker" in his teens, breaking in horses, mustering cattle and maintaining fences - but graduated from that to cattle-rustling and horse - stealing.
Arrested for assault, horse-stealing and bank robbery, a reward was eventually put out for him and his brother Dan for the attempted murder of a policeman.
Grave mystery: Ned was the son of an Irish convict and used home-made armour while on his crime spree in the late 1870s
Later, the reward was increased to £1,000 for each of the Kelly Gang for the murder of three policemen at the now-infamous Stringybark Creek.
Heath Ledger as Ned Kelly in the film of the same name
After more bank robberies, the gang made their last stand in the town of Glenrowan, Victoria, where they took 60 hostages in a hotel.
In a battle with police, Dan and two other gang members were killed, and Ned was wounded and arrested.
He was tried and convicted of the murder of one of the policemen at Stringybark Creek.
Numerous books and a number of feature films have since told his story and he remains an icon in Australia.
To many, he is a hero who resisted the brutality of the colonial regime and embodied the spirit of Australia. To others, he is a ruthless killer.
The image of his last stand in 1880, clad in a home-made suit of armour, including his famous cylindrical helmet with eye-slits, is still instantly recognisable.
Plans for the remains have not been finalised, but a publicly-accessible cemetery and rose garden is expected to be created at the Pentridge site.
It will feature historical story boards and information about Victoria's penal system and executed prisoners.


How are you these days? I see you are continuing to do your thing, sneaking up on people—quietly and efficiently moving in while no one is paying much attention, bringing all your nasty baggage and getting comfortable. You are enormous, but quiet and sneaky, and complicated. You come in all kinds of different forms, sometimes you are even hard for us to recognize. You seem to be growing and getting more and more powerful all the time, spreading around the world, continuing to take your toll on people, families and communities. Do you think that we don't see you? Or maybe that you are so big and powerful that we can't stop you? I guess it might seem that way to you, but you are wrong. We see you, and we are powerful, too.
We are here, always watching you and your devious ways. We are the bright side to your dark, an army of thousands of brilliant scientists and researchers who work every day to understand how it is that you do what you do, and how to stop you in your tracks. We are learning new things about you all the time and constantly putting new obstacles in your path along the way—to slow you down and keep you out of our lives. I promise you that we will learn all your tricks. It might take some time, but we are never going to stop until we have figured you out completely.
In the meantime, we have millions of friends on our side—health care providers, policy makers, community workers, family and friends. We all talk and work together, and we don't want you around. All of us are taking steps right now to make sure it gets more difficult for you to infiltrate our lives and our communities. So, if it seems like it is getting harder for you to do your thing, you are right. You are in our sights, and we are everywhere that you are, and we won't stop until you are gone for good.
