Turner Law Firm Wins California Supreme Court Case (Tract 19051 Homeowners Ass'n v. Kemp (2015) 60 Cal.4th 1135.)
Date: March 7, 2015Author: Turner Law Firm
In 2008, Keith Turner was retained by a title insurance company to defend its insured, who was being sued by an out-of-control homeowner's association, including over fifty neighbors, for building a two-story home allegedly in violation of the CC&Rs . The case was hard fought, with multiple emergency motions for an injunction to stop construction, protracted evidentiary / trial hearings, and multiple motions for reconsideration and appeal challenging every substantive ruling.
The plaintiffs were members of the alleged Tract 19051 Homeowner's Association, however, Yeldell eventually proved that the CC&Rs which created the HOA had expired. Although the plaintiffs included over fifty neighbors who were allegedly HOA members, a number of the neighbors later claimed that they did not agree to be plaintiffs. Some even claim that the HOA and its attorneys forged their signatures on the petitions authorizing the lawsuit.
Plaintiffs sued under the Davis Stirling Act, alleging that HOA was a common interest development, sought statutory attorneys fees under Civil Code section 5975 (formerly section 1354), which provides: "In an action to enforce the governing documents, the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorney's fees and costs." The term "governing documents," was defined in the statute to mean the official documents governing "the operation of [a] common interest development," which includes the CC&Rs.
The trial court eventually ruled that Tract 19051 was not a common interested development, and granted attorney fees to the defendant. On appeal, plaintiffs successfully overturned the attorney fees award. They argued that, since Tract 19051 was not a common interest development, the statutory attorney fees provision in Civil Code section 5975 should not apply. The Court of Appeal agreed and reversed the attorney fees award in an unpublished opinion.
In an extremely rare move, the California Supreme Court granted review of the unpublished Court of Appeal opinion, limiting review to the attorney fees issues. After briefing and oral arguments, the Court issued its opinion today, reinstating the attorney fees award. The Court held because the plaintiffs had sued to enforce the governing documents (the CC&Rs), the "prevailing party" language in the statute meant that it was a reciprocal attorney fee provision, which applied even if the defendant prevailed by showing that the governing documents were valid or the Davis Stirling statute did not apply. As the Court stated:
"For the reasons discussed hereafter, we conclude that the Court of Appeal erred in reversing the attorney fee award in favor of defendants. First, the trial court's award of attorney fees is supported by the language of the statute: Plaintiffs' underlying lawsuit was an action to enforce the governing documents of a common interest development, and defendants were the prevailing party in the action. Second, because plaintiffs clearly would have been entitled to an award under the statute had they prevailed in the action, denying defendants an award under the statute when they were the prevailing party would unquestionably violate the reciprocal nature of the statute and thus defeat the evident legislative intent underlying the statute. As we shall explain, prior California interpreting and applying comparable statutory attorney fee provisions that mandate an award of attorney fees to the prevailing party, directly support this interpretation of former section 1354(c). Finally, the Court of Appeal decision in Mount Olympus, supra, 59 Cal.App.4th 885, 69 Cal.Rptr.2d 521, upon which the Court of Appeal in this case relied in reaching a contrary result, is clearly distinguishable from the present case. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeal insofar as it reversed the attorney fee award in favor of defendants."
Tract 19051 Homeowners Ass'n v. Kemp (2015) 60 Cal.4th 1135 is important for many reasons. It is a great example of a property owner standing up to a big and out-of-control HOA, and it shows just how extreme HOA can be. Litigating against a big HOA and over 50 of its members is a difficult and daunting mission, especially when they employ questionable, unfair tactics. In the end, after years of hard-fought litigation, the Court rightfully did not allow the HOA to escape the consequences of its conduct of suing and the risk posed by the Davis Sterling attorney's fees provision.

Q: Postgres - remove unique contraint (does not exist) I have following table:

I have created unique constraint CREATE UNIQUE INDEX unique_item_media_idx ON mediagalleryitem (article_id, media_id);
Now, I want to remove it and it is impossible for me. When I execute ALTER TABLE "mediagalleryitem" DROP CONSTRAINT unique_item_media_idx; it tells me: constraint "unique_item_media_idx" of relation "mediagalleryitem" does not exist
When I run from CLI \d mediagalleryitem I get:
Indexes:
"mediagalleryitem_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
"unique_item_media_idx" UNIQUE, btree (article_id, media_id)
"idx_1c5848117294869c" btree (article_id)
"idx_1c584811ea9fdd75" btree (media_id)

Foreign-key constraints:
"fk_1c5848117294869c" FOREIGN KEY (article_id) REFERENCES article(id)
"fk_1c584811ea9fdd75" FOREIGN KEY (media_id) REFERENCES media(id)

Whwere is the problem?

A: What you have there is an index, not a constraint. You can drop it using DROP INDEX unique_item_media_idx. Just as you created an index, you remove an index.

Cats the Movie ー Apawling and Hissterically Catastrophic
Written by Susan Xi. Edited by Marc Scocca and Lasya Ramakrishnan.
Artworks by Alice Schroeder.
Put in modern jargon, Cats was unsurprisingly two hours of a Furry Con circus. On the way to the theatre, I learned that it had only made back $74.6 million of its $95 million budget. While I was buying tickets, the cashier eyed me with concern. By the time the movie finally started, a grand total of 15 people had shown up to witness the grandeur unfold.
The first scene unveiled the CGI, computer-generated imagery, that would assault our eyes and unceremoniously suspend the suspension of disbelief for the next few hours with autonomous cat tails, deep fake catsuits, human nails, human feet, and visual torment. The audience collectively groaned when the desecrated anamorph of the principal ballet dancer Francesca Hayward (Victoria) gleefully popped out of an abandoned, animated sack. The 'Jellicle Cats,' a group that can only be described as a sect, then immediately invite Victoria into their clique without asking any questions whatsoever, denying the audience any pretence of meaningful character development.
Certain scenes suggest that the Jellicle cats are a Satanic cult or at least some kind of drug-obsessed faction. Innocent Victoria is led to a milk bar in the alley that only serves cream. The traumatizing shots that followed, such as high definition cream covering Jason Derulo's entire face and body, made me decide that Cats was an R-rated movie accidentally* rated PG (* "accidentally" as in some sketchy money may have exchanged hands). Later that night, during the cats' dance demonstration in the ballroom, a giant pentagram, featured in multiple aerial and side shots, appeared on the floor. There aren't many dots to connect that link pentagrams with sweet angel Lucifer. During that same dance scene, Taylor Swift (Bombalurina) appears for ten minutes to throw catnip into the waltzing crowd, intoxicating them. Catnip is a hallucinatory drug in the Cats' world. However, I almost missed these fun details because of the distracting sound management.
Cats is full of theatrical residue that is usually edited out in box office creations: the raspy breathing of the cats during song and dance, the shuffling of toes against floorboards, the sounds of various cats…touching. Surround music was created to enhance the movie-watching experience, but during Cats, it initiated my fight-or-flight response. Adding to my acute stress were the distracting cat nuzzles every few scenes. The uncomfortable gestures and sounds (not to mention the coloured eye contacts and edited cat eyes) really distracted from the songs and plot.
The characters, introduced in song left, and right with their needlessly tacky names, were even harder to follow than the plot. The massive geyser of nonsense that came out of each cat's humanoid mouth could make Old Faithful jealous. The least the scriptwriters could have done was to add in some understandable, conversational dialogue. Half the theatre still doesn't know what a Jellicle cat is or why they want to go to "Heaviside layer" ─ is it Cat Heaven? The only real memorable dialogue was the dull cat puns from Rebel Wilson (Jennyanydots, lazy house cat) that fell flat with the theatre.
Cats couldn't connect with the crowd; the only pathos it invoked was disgust. An example provocation would be James Corden (Bustopher) licking his CGI fur, underbelly on full display. The movie indirectly promoted bullying, abuse, and selfishness. There were no reasons to remotely like any of the cats; the fourth and sixth number body shame James Corden and Rebel Wilson, calling them "remarkably fat" and "unmistakably round." Mice and cockroaches are slaves, forced to entertain the cats or be eaten. Victoria and two other cats rob and wreak havoc on a family home. Jennifer Hudson (Grizabella), a posh Jellicle cat turned homeless, is cast out and verbally abused by the Jellicles with no explanation as to why. The only concrete idea I could grasp was that each cat wanted to win the hazing ritual and fly to Heaviside Layer selfishly.
There was a slight inconsistency with the sizes of the sets, i.e. the dock. The house, the bar, the ballroom, and the city were all colossal in respect to the Jellicles, but the dock was conveniently cat-sized. Did they run out of budget after hiring name-brand actors to polish their cast list? The movie bolts to finishing in the middle of the movie despite having dragged out the entire first half with expendable songs. "The Names of Cats" insists that cats have three names: a nickname, a distinguishing name, and a name no one can know. The movie doesn't touch on this subject again. "Beautiful Ghosts", written by Taylor Swift, contributed nothing to the value of the film; it was a clear ploy to get on the Oscar list.
The songs aren't actually all that bad, except the same few songs that were played repeatedly and sounded the same. The CGI must have really advanced fur animation techniques in the industry, except the grotesque creations were not worth it. The dances were actually very moving, except the head nuzzles and rapid shot cuts diverted our attention. I recognize Cats is based on a musical, and the plot and characters follow the original script. However, the movie is still bad, and the animation is horrifying. Movies lose the magic that comes with musicals; people come to a movie theatre to have fun, not to feel the need to bleach their eyes. Cats could have been an enchanting hand-drawn animation instead of a live-action horror. Sadly, we can't undo what has been done, and I can't refund my ticket.

I am a big proponent of collaboration and any digital tool that allows collaboration to take place regardless of where or when everyone can use that tool. Using Google Docs with group projects seems like a no brainer and it has allowed me to let my students work with students who are not in the same period as they are. Padlet (http://padlet.com/) is another tool that can allow easy collaboration to take place asynchronously.
You do not even need an account to work on a Padlet wall but it does help if you want to save it for future use. To start, go to http://padlet.com/ and click "Build a Wall".
You will now have a wall that you can post notes to. This is like a digital bulletin board but one that can be used by almost anyone at any time. You can set the privacy settings how you like but this could easily be used by groups in a class or even by the whole class itself.
Modify your wall to make it look and work how you like. You can make it look like a bulletin board or you can choose any background you like.
Make sure to set your privacy settings to fit the need that you have and the situation you are in. You can share it out with people a lot of different ways even by using a URL shortener like the goo.gl Chrome extension.
Pose a open ended question for your students to answer, can include links to their resources.
Have a group use this to help organize their ideas and share it with the teacher for feedback.
Use this with other teachers to help plan a unit or design essential questions or standards for that unit.
Give the link at a meeting to get feedback or to see what questions people still have.
Use this as an exit ticket with students to see where they are at in their learning for the day.
There are a lot of ways to use this, make sure you use it in a way that fits you and your situation best.

This handmade necklace features a large piece of raw black tourmaline suspended from a vintage black acrylic rosary chain. The length of this necklace is 22 inches, but may be shortened to your desired length by simply clasping in a different location.
Black tourmaline is historically known as the most powerful protection stone for healing and protection on all levels. Worn as an amulet of protection, it is effective at deflecting negative energies and destructive forces. It is also a purifying stone said to guard against radiation and environmental pollutants, as well as ones own negative thoughts.

1 No respite for Haiti amid fresh aftershocks
by Daphne Benoit, AFP
1 hr 53 mins ago
PORT-AU-PRINCE (AFP) – Two new aftershocks rattled weary Haitians Tuesday, as top US officials defended the huge American military-led aid operation from criticisms of being too heavy-handed.
"We just can't get used to these quakes. Each aftershock is terrifying and everyone is afraid," trader Edison Constant said after the aftershocks struck in quick succession around dawn, two weeks after the quake.
"I hid under my bed," added iron merchant Julien Louis, exhausted by a stream of some 50 aftershocks since the devastating 7.0-magnitude quake on January 12.

This week's Training Tuesday post revolves around a repeated mantra from Kendra-Sue Derby, this week's trainer- It's All About The Numbers. Before you start worrying about anything else in your campaign, you have to know how many votes you need to win. This seems relatively self-evident, but it is a number that often goes overlooked.

The System is broken.
It has been broken for quite some time and during that quite some time, just about everything within the political conventional wisdom has tried to attempt to fix it. Just about everything has been tried to fix it for the Ruling Class and for some reason, stuff like deregulating how you can rob people on Wall St and allowing the Ruling Class to pay little or no taxes does seem to work….for them. Making the system work better for the rich that comprise 1% of the population seems to be fairly easy.
You just shift the burden on to the poor and middle class and everyone is happy. The government is happy because the rich stop hassling them, and the rich are happy because they get richer.
So that quick and easy fix only leaves only 99% of people unhappy, which is where we are now.
With 99% of The People (factoring in margin of error) ready to throw the bums who can't govern effectively for 99% of The People out of office.
Yes that's right, not only can the modern Republican not effectively govern the country for 99% of the people, the last few years have shown that the Democrats can't either. And the last year of a Dem in the WH, the Dems with 60 seats and a huge majority in the House has proven beyond a shadow of the doubt one simple fact.
Under the current broken system, America is ungovernable. And an ungovernable country is in a state of chaos…..and decline.
A fact which the two Partys simply cannot afford to acknowledge. Until they are forced to.
Which will happen in a year, when The People throw yet another batch of Pols out of office and elect a new batch…..who will also not be able to govern the country….and who will then be promptly thrown out of office, and a new batch of incompetents with no imagination or solutions will be voted in. Rinse. Repeat.
The winner of this game will be the Party or Pol who comes up with something new.

My own brother robbed me. Please help.

Crossposted at Daily Kos
Three weeks ago my own brother robbed me of every cent I had left and kicked me out into the street.
I just landed a job with an up and coming start up Progressive Political organization, but the job does not officially begin to pay until the end of February. I will be working on several of their projects as an opposition researcher, writer and reporter, among other things. This is the break that I have been waiting for. They have provided me with a laptop and cell phone, which is why I am able to write now. This helps a great deal, but it does not replace the money that my brother has stolen from me.
So I turn now to you, dearest friends, who are more family to me than my only flesh and blood, in the hopes that you can help me out until this job starts up for me, because my only brother just stole from me the last few dollars I had to my name.

Somewhere Between Two Hypocrises Lies the Truth
By cabaretic in Meta
I recently came across, through a YouTube video, a rather unique French public service announcement. It encouraged heterosexual men to protect themselves against HIV/AIDS by using a condom before engaging in sexual contact. Predictable enough subject for a PSA, one might think, but the video's concept was both amusing and novel. While the American mind would likely appreciate the humor, it would also deem it too graphic to be aired on network television and probably cable as well. American liberalism has, I realize, a long standing Francophone tradition, just as American conservative thought has an equally lengthy history of criticizing it, so my point is not to cater directly to either camp. Somewhere between the two is something close to the truth and as such I seek to find it.
To get to my point, in France, sex is everywhere, and yet attitudes towards sexuality in one's personal life are often more traditional than in the United States. While on the continent, one often encounters nudity on billboards, street signs, and shop windows while out and about, but the attitude of most residents is that the body is a natural entity, as are public depictions of it without the benefit of clothes to disguise the objectionable parts. To us, of course, the only truly socially acceptable manner of presentation regarding the unveiled human body is in the art gallery and even then some people have been known to register their visible discomfort. Furthermore, we deem nudity or frank depictions of nudity in any form to often only be granted as a privilege based on reaching a certain age and with it some perceived degree of maturity, believing that children and minors ought not to be exposed to its supposedly corrupting influences until the age where they can make an informed decision whether or not to partake. Put that way, it sounds almost as though nudity is some health hazard, like smoking or consuming too much alcohol. Still, for all the energy we expend spinning out cautionary tales and guilt-laden commandments, one would think we ought to expect more for our efforts.

Worm motility versus temperature.
By Compound F in Politics
I haven't run an experiment in some time, and I've been missing it. Until recently. My almost-eight-year-old nephew had an assignment to do a science experiment, about which he could care less. To him, he just wants to play four-square with ever-changing and intangible rules that make him ever-the-winner, and he could frankly give a flying fortune about disinterested research.
Naturally, the concerned adults in the room got carried away with the tuitional idea of cause and consequence on their own, somewhat but not entirely independently of the young Padawan learner's needs.

From Who I Was, To Who I Am
By dkmich in Personal
From Who I Was, To Who I Am by Kevin Adams
Individual Artistry
Paint splashes all across the board. Vibrant shades of red and yellow pour over the pure white walls, creating a massive whirlpool of color spilling all about the floor. To some this image is unsettling, the purity of the whitewashed sanctum ruined; but to others the room has become something much more than just four walls and a ceiling, for it has become a work of art.
I am an artist; the canvas upon which I paint, however, is not a solid. My whitewashed room; my masterpiece is inside. Constantly crafting, molding and creating, we are all artists of the mind. The clay we sculpt is the ideas of others, always being molded, recreated, and improved to fit ones personality. The paints we use are made up of life's experiences, its truths and untruths. The dark tones of betrayal, the bright pigments of joy all color the regions inside of us.
The artist's work is never done. Our portraits lack stasis and are ever changing. Through life, through death, through all, our work never remains stationary. Colors are added and mixed, the clay touched up in areas and completely rearranged in others, but the work is always our own. As life goes on, these works of art grow and develop into an individual, changed and rearranged by the world around them. I am an artist. We are all artists of the mind, constantly changing our masterpieces, constantly developing as individuals.
Goodnight, but not Goodbye
Gliding, almost flying, in circles around the frozen lake, my soul smiles. The calm, chilled air breezing across my skin erases all worry from my mind. On the ice there is no drama, no pain, no confusion; all the loud colors of life drain from vision, leaving only the purest, truest feeling of joy streaming from my eyes.
Glancing down I see my fallen friends, my worn warriors that have meant so much. Covered in blood stains and bruises, tears and tears, they are shadows of their former selves. While no longer the shiny and clean entities of the past, their magic and power still hold true. Each crack, each scar, tells a different tale. They speak of epic battles of wit and power, speed and of strength. Night after night they hide me from the weight of the world, transporting me to paradise.
But tonight, they sing their final ballad. Tonight, the beauteous steel, pumping in majestic harmony with my body, plays a magnificent song. Tonight the magic lives. Tomorrow, they shall hang their laces for good, and be replaced by the shiny, clean entities of the future. A new novel, ready to be written, the blank pages begging for words. The stories of old, however, will never be lost. Tonight, as they sing their final ballad, all is well. My soul will forever smile with enamored memories of fallen friends; the magic will never die.
Clouds and Concrete
The wind rushes through his hair. He closes his eyes and smiles. Suddenly the air pushes him off balance and he tips over, staring death in the face, only to be saved by another calm breeze blowing the opposite direction. As if watched by a guardian angel, he has managed to yet again escape his imminent defeat, for luck is always on his side. In his mind he is invincible and has no infirmities.
As I observe from below, he rides above on the clouds, sliding through life without a worry in the world. The fluffy white paradise upon which he floats glides off into the distance and the thunderstorm begins yet again pouring over my head. Memories flood into my mind as I pain for a life like his. My feet drag upon the concrete, leaving craters with every step, for I was once like him. Knocked off my holy chariot I have fallen to reality and become a pariah. I long for the simplicity of the carelessness my brother enjoys.
The dark hair upon my head is pressed down by the rains of life, while his blonde mane shimmers in the sunlight of blissful unawareness. I watch and wish for a life like his, but I also worry, for I know how it shall end. Like me, the day will come when he shall meet his finish. An obstacle that need be overcome will look in his eyes and laugh, as he simply waits for it to move from his path. He shall fall from his holy chariot down to the earth, and like me, journey on the concrete, having finally realized he is not invincible. I watch, wait, and worry, for the day he will fall.
A Grown Man
Cold and covered in blood, an infant opens his eyes for the very first time; the constant darkness he has always known has been replaced with a bright and complex new reality. From the very moment this newborn takes his first breath his incipient body begins to grow. Destination unknown, he begins to transform, slowly, into a man. Through the years he shall learn to become a man; he shall grow up.
The process of growing up is a complicated mess of emotions and experiences, each changing the man that is to walk out into the world upon his eighteenth birthday. He learns to feel; finding and discovering love, only to have it torn away, thus teaching him heartache. He watches those around him, seeing their plunders and successes, comparing their lives with his, predicting for some their futures, and in others seeing his own. He listens to those wiser than he. He crafts his opinions. He crafts his morals. He crafts his character.
With his arsenal of knowledge, he is ready. Throughout time he has learned many lessons, some painless, others pain-full. He is a result of the world around him, those who taught him, those who tested him. He has grown into a man.

It looks admob will have a soft ban of 30 days that publisher doesn't know. I have a game that the match rate dropped from 80% to 50% from Jun 9 since I added the Facebook Audience Network as mediation. Then, I tried to remove the Facebook Audience Network from the mediation and the match rate raised back after a month. Unfortunately, the match rate dropped again from 9 Sept. It looks to me the my dropped is not related to the adding of Facebook Audience Network.
I've noticed that in the low match rate period, I didn't get any game related ad. The most ad that I seen is Uber.

Last week, when I said I'm done… apparently I lied.
This deck will have competing parts, which just means you'll have to mill harder.
Enablers include the mainstays from the previous deck that survive the rotation, namely Satyr Wayfinder and Commune with the Gods, but there's also Nyx Weaver, Scout the Borders and See the Unwritten. The three mana ones aren't as bad as you'd think at first, since if you are two-colored and your opponents are three colored, you're probably ahead in tempo as they keep playing tapped lands. See the Unwritten is different. Its quite expensive, and its also quite random. The variance is pretty high. It also means you'll probably need to play more lands then previously. Best case scenario is probably hitting a Necropolis Fiend, as you'll still have stuff for its ability.
M15 clearly had an emphasis on artifacts. Khans doesn't have much to contribute, but there's (dare I say it) Ugin's Nexus. Sure, everyone has noticed the interaction between that and Shrapnel Blast, but I'll bring it up anyhow. Just put Scuttling Doom Engine in the same deck and you're set. Well, maybe some other stuff too. Negate or two in the main can't hurt.
… and we are basically butchering our own horde.
Right now, for whatever reason, Bloodstained Mire is the highest rated card in Khans on Gatherer. The second highest rated is Butcher of the Horde. I can see why. If you don't put too much thought into it, it might seem innocuous, because you have to sacrifice cards to get anything out of it. That's a wrong way to think about it. You should see it quite the other way around. You get to sacrifice creatures to get all sorts of extras out of a creature that is already quite powerful.
What works well with it? I'd say Crackling Doom, because I think much of the format is going to be about ramping into a huge creature early, and its good in the inevitable mirror, especially on draw. Just waste your opponents one right before playing your own (and attacking with it).
What else is good with it? Bloodsoaked Champion, which lets you sacrifice it and return it to the battlefield right after. Goblin Rabblemaster, which spits out fodder for the demon every turn. I'd also try out Mardu Ascendancy. More fodder, if nothing else.
Lifelink seems pretty important for this deck, as we are paying a lot of life for mana and other things.

Maybe Grim Haruspex for the Butcher deck. Might be good. Especially if we're continuously saccing the Champion.

Q: Strawberry GraphQL return dict I want to create a mutation which takes a dict as an argument. There are implementation-specific reasons to want to do this, instead of creating a type/schema for the dict object.
Object
# types.py
import typing

@strawberry.type
class Thing:
    data: typing.Dict

Resolver
# resolvers.py
import typing
from .types import Thing

def create_config(data: typing.Dict) -> Thing:
    pass

Mutation Schema
# mutations.py
import strawberry

from .types import Thing
from .resolvers import create_thing

@strawberry.type
class Mutations:
    create_thing: Thing = strawberry.mutation(resolver=create_thing)

Desired Example Query
mutation {
    createThing(data: {}) {}
}

From reading the documentation, there's no GraphQL scalar equivalent for a dict. This is evidenced by this compilation error when I try to test:

TypeError: Thing fields cannot be resolved. Unexpected type 'typing.Dict'

My instinct is to flatten the dict into a JSON string and pass it that way. This seems un-elegant, which makes me think there's a more idiomatic approach. Where should I go from here?

A: Instead of a serialized JSON string, JSON itself can be a scalar.
from strawberry.scalars import JSON

@strawberry.type
class Thing:
    data: JSON

def create_config(data: JSON) -> Thing:
    pass

Epinotia meritana (Heinrich)
Host: White fir
Figure 17. Defoliated white fir caused by the white fir needleminer.
Symptoms/Signs: Larvae mine the needles, resulting in bleached-yellow needles from late spring to early fall. Mature larvae are about 8 mm long, yellowish-green to cream colored, with brown to black heads. Pupae are orange to dark brown, about 5.5 mm in length, and can often be seen protruding from the hole in the mined needle prior to emergence. The adults are 11 mm dusty gray moths. They can be seen swarming around host trees in late June and July.
Biology: The white fir needleminer has one generation per year in New Mexico and Arizona. Eggs are deposited, usually one per needle, in late June and July. Eggs hatch in August and September. Young larvae immediately bore into the needle where they overwinter. As weather warms in the spring, feeding begins. Each larva can mine several 1-year-old needles. Two- and three-year-old needles are also mined during outbreak conditions when insect populations are high. Two to six needles are usually webbed together and remain on the tree for the duration of the summer. Pupation occurs within the last mined needle in June or early July. Adult moths emerge in 10 to 14 days after pupation. Mating occurs within 2 to 3 days of emergence.
Figure 18. Closeup of white fir needleminer defoliation to white fir.
Effects: After several consecutive years of heavy defoliation, a high proportion of limb mortality and widespread tree mortality may occur. This can give individual trees or even entire stands a silvery appearance. These heavily defoliated stands decline in vigor and may be predisposed to attack by fir engraver beetle.
Similar Insects and Diseases: Similar defoliation may be caused by western spruce budworm or Douglas-fir tussock moth; however, the larvae of white fir needleminer only mine inside the needles.

Sony Ericsson has unveiled its latest compact slider phone, the T303, promising that it is "small and neat enough to carry with you on every occasion".
The chrome finished Sony Ericsson T303, available in some markets this year, has a mirrored screen and metal housing. And it appears to be pitched squarely at the stylish woman about town – with the press release suggesting that the 1.3 megapixel camera will prove ideal for getting a second opinion on shoes.
"TheT303 is a great addition to the Sony Ericsson T-line of products, combining premium finish and materials with a good feature-set to deliver 'style with substance'," said Lykke Tærsbøl, senior designer at the Sony Ericsson Creative Design Centre.
"The balance between shape and size in combination with the design makes it a truly eye-catching product.
"Our aim was to create a phone that would function equally as a daily companion as well as something to show off on a night out."

Number of Syria's populated localities engaged in truce regime rises to 92
The number of illegal armed units is unchanged - 52
The number of Syria's populated localities, which have joined the reconciliation process, has risen to 92, the Russian Defense Ministry has reported.
"A truce agreement with representatives of a populated locality in the Hama province has been reached over the past day. The number of populated localities, which have entered into the reconciliation process, has reached 92," the Russian center for reconciliation of opposing sides in Syria said in its bulletin.
In addition, negotiations on the cessation of hostilities were held with the field commander of an armed unit in the Damascus province.
"The number of illegal armed units, which have pledged their allegiance to the cessation of hostilities and its terms, is unchanged - 52," the bulletin said.

This is my go-to when I want to take a pre-dinner snack to the first of the summer barbeques and which, not coincidentally, seems to be when eggplants are super cheap. Guaranteed there'll always be one person who snares openly at its "healthiness" then proceeds to devour the lot, all the whilst, commenting on how "it's too healthy for me". Aaaah yes, my job here is done.
Preheat oven to 200˚C on fan bake. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and place on the baking paper skin side up, along with the whole capsicum.
Cook for 20 minutes or until the eggplant is really soft.
Once cool enough to handle, scrap the eggplant flesh out of the skin with a spoon and put it in a food processor. Remove the stalk and seeds from the capsicum and add the flesh to the eggplant. Crush the garlic and add in along with the lemon juice, tahini and salt.
Blend until you are happy with the consistency — I like a few chunks in mine.
Pour out into a serving bowl and top with some or all of the garnish. Serve with sliced raw vegetables and/or some kale chips for dipping — yum!

Q: Getting form values from UIWebView In my iOS app, I have a UIWebView that can be passed in a html doc with a form containing an unknown number of fields.
If I know the id of the fields in the form, to pull the values into my application, I can go through them and call:
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.getElementById('firstname').value"]

Is there a way to pull the list of all fields in the form so that I can iterate through it and pull all the values, or better yet, is there a better way to get access to the form data from my device?

Clash of Cultures
Over two years ago, I posted "Heartbreak on the Texas Frontier," the story of nine-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker, her younger brother, and other family members who were taken prisoner by the Comanches on May 19, 1836. I recounted the tragedy of Cynthia Ann's life after she was "rescued" in 1860 and returned to her white family. No one understood that she had adopted the ways of the Comanches, married a chief, bore three children, and was happy in her nomadic life. Cynthia Ann eventually died of influenza brought on by self-starvation.
While Cynthia Ann's story was sensationalized, followed by people all over this country, a less well-known tragedy was taking place—the
Fort Parker in 1936
recounting of which played a significant role in understanding the culture and psyche of the Comanche. On that May morning in 1836, when the Comanche raiding party swooped down on Fort Parker, Rachel Parker Plummer was seventeen, expecting her second child, and caring for her fourteen-month-old son James Pratt Plummer. Her husband Luther, her father James Parker, and eight other family members were working in the field about a mile from the fort. In her book Rachel Plummer's Narrative of Twenty One Months Servitude as a Prisoner Among the Comanche Indians, Rachel wrote that "one minute the fields (in front of the fort) were clear, and the next moment, more Indians than I dreamed possible were in front of the fort." Her Uncle Benjamin Parker, not really believing the white flag carried by the Indians was to be trusted, walked out to meet the Indians, hoping to give the women and children in the fort time to run out through the back entrance. Rachel had delayed leaving with the others because she feared she could not carry her son and keep up with them.
It only took the sound of their whooping to realize the Indians were coming into the fort. As she ran carrying her son, she saw her Uncle Benjamin being stabbed with lances. Rachel said, "a large sulky Indian picked up a hoe and knocked me down." He dragged her by her long red hair until she finally managed to get up on her feet. A Comanche squaw on a horse had taken little James Pratt. She saw her grandfather tortured and killed and her grandmother raped, speared, and left for dead. The Comanches rode away from Fort Parker with three children—Cynthia Ann, her brother John, and Rachel's son—and two women— Rachel and Elizabeth Kellogg (who was returned three months later when Sam Houston paid the $150 ransom).
Rachel wrote that four Indians found a bottle of her father's pulverized arsenic and thinking it was white paint, dissolved the powder with their saliva and smeared it all over their faces and bodies. All four died, probably in agony.
That first night, the war party held a ritual dance dangling the scalps of the slain men before the captives. They beat and kicked the women and children. When the children cried, they "were soon hushed by blows I had no idea they could survive." The women were stripped naked and bound so tightly that their arms bled. Then they were repeatedly raped while the children watched. Rachel wrote, "To undertake to narrate their barbarous treatment would only add to my present distress, for it is with feelings of the deepest mortification that I think of it, much less to speak or write of it."
The next morning, all the captives were strapped to their horses and for the next five days the Comanches rode hard, denying them food and allowing only small amounts of water. On the sixth day, the Indians divided them, with Rachel and baby James going with a separate group of Comanches. However, as soon as the Indians realized James had been weaned, they ripped him from Rachel's arms, and she never saw him again.
They rode for weeks into the high plains above the timberline. She described a journey through the snows of the Rocky Mountains where she rarely had anything on her feet and very little covering her body. Her job as a slave was to tend the horses, and to prepare buffalo skins. If she failed to meet her quota, she was beaten. The work entailed scraping the flesh off the skin, applying lime to absorb the grease, and rubbing the buffalo brains on the skin until it was softened.
At the time of the raid Rachel was four-months pregnant and gave birth the following October to a second son. Her master thought the baby kept Rachel from her work and when he was seven weeks old, several men held Rachel while another man strangled the baby. When he still showed signs of life, they tied a rope around his neck and dragged him behind a horse until he was "literally torn to pieces."
Rachel continued to write about the country and the animals and plants that she saw as the tribe traveled. She noted Comanche folkways, the nightly dances, the worship of pet crows, and taboos. She learned the language and listened to plans for attacks. Eventually she lost all hope of being rescued, and finding that she was unable to kill herself, she decided to provoke the Indians to do it for her. When her young mistress ordered her to get a tool from the lodge, Rachel refused. The mistress ran screaming at Rachel, and instead of cowering in fear, she fought back, threw the girl on the ground, and beat her on the head with a buffalo bone. All the time she fought, Rachel expected a spear to be driven into her body. Instead, a crowd gathered and began screaming, but making no effort to stop Rachel from beating the girl. When it was clear Rachel had won the fight, she picked up the girl, carried her back to camp, and washed the blood from her face. The girl's mother was furious and threatened to burn Rachel, which she had done in the past. But this time Rachel fought back. The two struggled so furiously around the fire that both were badly burned. They continued to fight until they burst through the side of the tipi. Again, the men watched and did not interfere even as Rachel won. When the council met to discuss the fight, all three women gave their account. Rachel was told she must replace the lodge pole she had broken. Sensing a new place in the community, Rachel refused unless the younger woman helped her. The council agreed. Rachel discovered that the Comanches respected those who fought back, who defended themselves, who did not cower in the face of danger.
Once Rachel realized she would not be killed, she decided her only hope lay in finding someone to buy her. Eventually she met Comancheros, Mexicans who traded with the Comanches. To her surprise, when the Comanchero asked to buy Rachel, her master agreed. The Comancheros who ransomed Rachel was working for William and Mary Donoho, a wealthy couple in Santa Fe who had given them instructions to pay any price to ransom white women. The Donohos and the citizens of Santa Fe warmly welcomed Rachel, however, a Pueblo Indian uprising caused the Donohos, in fear for their lives, to take Rachel with them as they fled Santa Fe. They traveled to their home in Independence, Missouri—a two-month journey of 800 miles across the heart of Comanche territory. Upon her arrival, Rachel was reunited with a family member who immediately set out in the cold winter weather on the 1,000-mile trip to her father James Parker's home. They arrived in Huntsville on February 19, 1838.
Rachel was reunited with her husband who, unlike many men whose wives had been abused by the Indians, welcomed her home. She soon was pregnant with her third child. Near the end of her pregnancy, the family was forced to flee to Houston to escape vigilantes who were threatening her father. The trip in the dead of winter must have been more than Rachel Plummer's body could tolerate. Soon after reaching Houston, her son, Wilson P. Plummer, was born on January 4, 1839. Rachel died the following March 19 and her son died two days later.
Rachel's book has served historians well. It was among the vast resources used by S.C. Gwynne in Empire of the Summer Moon, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Gwynne's account is a must read for anyone wishing to understand the culture of the powerful Comanche Tribe. Gwynne deftly employs the raid on Parker's Fort and the subsequent events, to weave the fascinating tale of the power and decline of the great Comanche Warriors.

What a story. I will have to read Empire of the Summer Moon. You tell the tale well, Myra.
You will not be sorry. Empire of the Summer Moon is a great read. Thank you for reading my blog.

I am Spanish living in Barcelona, but I have read and saw films about the history of Red Skins, I think that they behave as their rules said, and… alll the wars in the world… Who are the bad people? It depends who explaines the history. Nice post. My name ir Rosa.
Rosa, thanks for your comments. It is true that history is usually written from the point of view of the winner. The Comanches were some of the most violent of the Native Americans, but they fought the only way they knew to save their way of life–not just their land. Sadly, all the Native Americans lost everything to white settlement.
Such strength in the details make this convincing writing
Thank you, John Flanagan, for your kind remarks.
Patti Hansen
Oh my goodness! After growing up in Oklahoma with all the resettled Cherokees, this gave me another perspective of the wild plains Indians!
The Comanches were the real warriors. They loved to fight, even fought other tribes. Especially with your Oklahoma background, you will enjoy Empire of the Summer Moon.
trudyleedarman
Excellent history Myra and the book is among my favorites (Empire of the Summer Moon). Your vast knowledge of this gigantic and complicated state never fail to impress me!
Thanks, Trudy. Like you, I love the good stories.


KEYMAX LOCKSMITH Mobile Car Key Programming Service.
Most cars produced and sold since 1995 are legally required to be fitted with an immobiliser system. These cars require a transponder key with an embedded electronic transponder chip to start the vehicle. When the key is turned in the ignition the code is read and the vehicle will only start if the correct code is received. This system was introduced to reduce vehicle crime and prevent cars from being started without the correct key. A broken or lost transponder car key will result in the vehicle not starting upon turning the key in the ignition.

Campaigners spend years trying to change public opinion. They organize rallies, publish reports, set up photo ops, and cross their fingers it'll make a difference.
It turns out there's a simpler way: get Donald Trump to oppose whatever you want.
On issue after issue, the best thing to have happened to progressives looking for public support is for Trump to have come out against them.
From climate change to foreign trade and from equal marriage to the death penalty, whatever Trump thinks, the US public are concluding the opposite. He is making America liberal again.
Stopping climate change, which Trump has said is a Chinese hoax: more Americans are greatly worried about it than at any point in the last 30 years.
Abolishing the death penalty, which Trump recently called to be used in a terrorist case: support is at its lowest level since 1972.
Keeping Obamacare, which Trump has repeatedly tried to abolish and sabotage: more people support it than oppose it for the first time.
Welcoming immigration, which Trump wants to restrict: the view immigrants help the economy is at a record high.
Liberalising foreign trade, which Trump is undoing: record numbers now see foreign trade as an opportunity rather than a threat.
Allowing equal marriage, which Trump has suggested he might block: support is at a record level.
Being wary of Russia, which Trump doesn't seem to be: a (joint) record number now have an unfavourable view of Russia.
Encouraging women to be managers: Trump is very male and, famously, the boss. Americans are increasingly doubtful of that combination.
Honestly, I don't really think this is all because of Trump. Let's give Paul Ryan some credit too.
And, yes, most of them have been trending in that direction for years, part of long-term social shifts. The recent movements look like jumps in the way they were, generally, already heading.
But, still, there's nothing like a historically unpopular president, with strong opinions and a loud voice, to make millions of people reconsider their own views.
My book, The Climate Majority: Apathy and Action in an Age of Nationalism, is published by New Internationalist.
Worries about climate change are at record levels. Is this a new chapter in public opinion?
Posted in Climate Sock, U.S. on March 16th, 2017 by Leo – Comments Off on Worries about climate change are at record levels. Is this a new chapter in public opinion?
Public opinion is rarely tidy but sometimes there are clear trends in the popular mood. A new poll suggests there has been a shift in public opinion about climate change, with a surge in worries about the threat.
The new poll – of the US public, by Gallup – suggests we may be in a new stage. Concern about climate change appears to have past 2009 levels and to now exceed all previous peaks.
Is that a justifiable conclusion?
A problem is that this is just one poll. It's the only one I'm aware of that shows concern to now be greater than it's ever previously been. It might be a rogue result, outside the margin of error.
But… It's 8-points up on the previous year's poll, and 4 above any previous. This poll would have to have been a real statistical fluke for the true level of public concern not be the highest since at least 2009.
And a different poll, from the UK, suggests something similar.
Various people have asked the "is climate change real" question (FWIW, I don't like the question – it's confused by political identity and doesn't reflect what people actually want done about emissions – but these results are so striking I can't ignore it). Since 2009 responses to this question were uncannily static. But in February this year ECIU's poll showed a sudden jump.
So that's more evidence that we've started a new chapter.
Yet I'm still not sure it's definitive that worries are at record levels. We can probably say concern about climate change is greater than it's been any time since 2010 – in the US at least – but there's not enough evidence to be sure it's at the highest level ever.
One issue is Gallup's chart shows only the percentage that worry a great deal about climate change. In the equivalent chart last year they combined it with those that worry a fair amount. If we do the same for this year's data, we find worries this year are no higher than they were in 2008 and are still lower than they were in 1999-2000.
So if we're still, if not on the fence, at least within touching distance of it, what more evidence might persuade us that worries really are smashing records?
In the UK, the government's quarterly climate and energy poll asks a question once a year on concern about climate change. The question uses the same wording that MORI has run since 2005, giving a nice comparison that will allow us to test the theory. The next wave, due to be published in late April, should ask that question, so we'll have more evidence soon about whether concern is rising.
And in Australia, the Lowy Institute has run the same climate question since 2006 in its annual poll. The next wave should be out in June.
In both that and the UK poll, concern in 2016 was still some way below the pre-2010 peak, although the highest for a few years. I wouldn't be surprised if this year's data shows worries are up but not yet at record levels.
Putting it together, the evidence is clear that worries about climate change have been rising for several years. Last year concern was around where it was in the late 2000s. This year, either worries have stopped increasing or they're moving towards record levels. It may be too early to say for sure but the initial evidence suggests concern is still rising.
His overall victory wasn't much bigger than last time, 62% compared with just under 60%. But there was a significant increase in his win among the members, from about 50% to close to 60%. This was partly about people who voted for Burnham last year, but is mostly about a change in the membership. Smith won nearly two-thirds of people who had joined Labour before the last general election, while Corbyn is utterly dominant among more recent members. The party membership has changed and is much more pro-Corbyn – although this had little to do with the leadership challenge.
1. He won 70% of registered supporters, who paid £25 to vote. It has to be expected that Momentum will try to register those people as full party members, which will mean the membership will become even more sympathetic to Corbyn.
2. As I've argued before, around a quarter of people who voted Corbyn last year were shakeable in their faith. They would prefer a leader who could win an election to one who they agree with about everything. The size of his victory among members suggests to me that he's won many if not most of those people (my view in May was, they needed Corbyn to be given longer before they were persuaded he had to go). Having made the decision to vote for Corbyn this time, they're now pyschologically committed to him and it's going to be harder to shake their support in future than it would have been if there hadn't been a challenge.
The Tories are the next-most placed in those positions, and still only 40% put them there.
This may be beginning to show: the Lib Dems have been winning local council by-elections in the last few months, when every other major party has had a net loss.
But their voting intent score is still as bad as it was a year ago and only 22% say they'd even consider voting Lib Dem. The party has to resolve this contradiction, somehow persuading far more voters that they're in the same place.
1. Hardly anyone outside politics hears about the Lib Dems any more. It's much easier to get people's attention as a small party if you make radical protest noises: Iraq, tuition fees. It's much harder to do that if the space you want to occupy is, essentially, Blairite. They've tried this with the EU, and Farron has made his appeal to '97 Labour voters explicit, but this doesn't seem to have made much difference yet. It's much more difficult to come up with dramatic announcements that will allow people to understand what you stand for if you want to present yourself as responsible modernisers.
2. They may not have the members and MPs for this. I don't claim to be an expert on the membership of the party, but after 13 years of positioning itself as a left-liberal alternative to New Labour, I'm not sure how much appetitie there is for a reversal. That said, 5 years in coalition may have shaken up the membership on that front. But even if Farron wanted to become the new Clegg (and his instincts are clearly to the left of Blair's) I'm not sure how much people in the party yearn to be a boring party of the centre.

The coral reef disease manifests itself through the creation of white blotches on stony coral, eventually leading to the loss of tissue and eventual death in the coral colony. The disease affects 20 different species of coral and is able to kill colonies within several weeks or months.
"In June 2018 we send out a warning to our local dive operators about the coral disease which started in Florida and impacted Jamaican reefs by that time. Unfortunately, about two months ago, we started to notice the disease had also started to affect our local coral here.
We can now confirm that St Maarten corals are also affected by the tissue loss disease through the assistance of David Vaughan, coral and coral reef restoration expert and leading scientist on the 'Plant a Million Coral initiative'.
The disease has been detected on dive sites in the 'Man of War Shoal Marine Protected Area' as well as on other reefs around the island", stated Melanie Meijer zu Schlochtern, Project Officer at the Nature Foundation.
Sick corals first appeared in Florida off the Miami-Dade County area in September 2014. The outbreak area has since progressed 175 km to the northern limit of the Florida reef tract and southwest to Looe Key in the Lower Keys. Numerous coral species (except acroporid coral) have been afflicted, disease prevalence has reached 80% of all colonies present at a site, and a number of coral diseases have been observed. Meanwhile, sick and dying corals are found on Jamaican reefs with similar signs of disease and overlap with the reports from Florida. Also in Mexico, a severe outbreak of coral disease affecting similar species and exhibiting similar patters as those in Florida has been recorded. Sint Maarten can unfortunately now be added to the list of affect areas for tissue loss disease.
"The disease appears to be water borne and may potentially be spread by divers' gear according the Florida Disease Advisory Committee. They advise divers in the Caribbean and Florida to soak their gear in a 5% chlorine bleach solution for 30 minutes, and rinse well after. We also advise all divers to be aware of their fins and to not touch any diseased or healthy coral, they may transmit the disease to other corals! Let's not have scuba divers become paths of a coral disease" continued Melanie Meijer zu Schlochtern.
Local reefs have been hit hard due to Hurricane Irma and human activities, such as pollution, nutrient run off, overfishing and climate change. Therefore the detected disease is an additional large threat to our coral reefs and the question is, if our reefs will ever recover from all these events, therefore the Nature Foundation requests maximum protection of our coral reefs in order to maintain what is left.
Director at the Nature Foundation Tadzio Bervoets mentioned that this is an additional significant challenge faced by local reefs; "Unfortunately this is another challenge that we have to deal with in managing what is one of our most important natural resources. Coral reefs provide more than fifty million dollars in goods and services to our economy annually, yet we have been facing significant challenges with regards to our coral, ranging from coral bleaching to 80% of our coral being lost due to Hurricanes Irma and Maria and now this disease. We are working hard in trying to manage this disease and trying to create extra reef habitat as part of the Plant a Million Coral initiative but we need the support of decision makers and the wider community in ensuring that we can continue our work to ensure that we have a healthy coral ecosystem. A ban on plastics and coral friendly sunscreen would go a long way," concluded Bervoets.
Recently the Nature Foundation also located large amounts of single-use plastics on local reefs, research has found a link between plastic and disease on coral reefs. The likelihood of disease increases from 4 percent to 89 percent when corals are in contact with plastic and it suggests that ocean waters with lots of plastic waste might also carry other pollutants that could also be contributing to higher rates of coral disease, a ban on single-use plastics is needed in order to protect this invaluable natural resource.

I was recently loaned a brand new 2013 BMW 535i xDrive Gran Turismo from one of my coworkers for a week. I had seen the model on display at the GCLA Show and Expo on Sept. 25th, and was impressed with its sleek look right away.
The vehicle handles with some bulk, but with the inline six-cylinder engine with 300 horsepower, the car moved effortlessly around the road. The interior is luxury all the way, with an advanced computer system in the dash that handles navigation and radio with ease. The rear seats were easy to get in and out of, and the back windows had roll-up shades that made the ride cooler during the hot sun.
The trunk offers ample luggage room, and there is a hatchback design that either opens the trunk fully for larger cargo, or a smaller segment for quicker loading and unloading.
The main drawbacks I saw were that the back window was very narrow and difficult to see out of. There is a reverse camera in the vehicle that assists with backing up, but any view toward the rear of the vehicle while in motion is impaired.
Overall the car was an amazing ride, and I can see how it would give clients a ride that is luxurious, powerful, and comfortable. I have talked to some operators who use BMW's in their fleet, often times they have one or two high-end sedans like this BMW or a Mercedes S-Class's for clients who request it. If you are an operator running a BMW GT 5 Gran Turismo, how has your experience been?

Campaign 2012: Living with disappointment
After watching the latest U.S. presidential debate, I still think that few minds were changed and that the race is too close to call. The 5% or so of the electorate that hasn't made up its mind is less important than the Electoral College and whose partisans turn out to vote. I've made no secret of my political preferences here and on various social media. However, I keep hoping that both parties will do better.
Presidential candidates point fingers
Following the lead of Vice President Joe Biden in his debate with Rep. Paul Ryan, President Barack Obama was much more forceful in his arguments in the second debate. I still think that he could have defended the liberal and Democrat points of view even more strongly.
I would have liked Obama to clearly and unapologetically state the need for government leadership in protecting health care, the environment, and civil rights. Sure, both candidates paid lip service to the importance of education, veterans, and care for the elderly, but neither proposed significant reforms beyond alternative payment schemes. Neither candidate called for sacrifice, patience, or experimentation in dealing with a recession that's beyond the president's direct control.
Instead of bickering over dubious statistics, sticking to their campaign platforms rather than directly address questions, and wrestling over oratorical procedure, the candidates could have laid out their visions for the next four years — not the past four or more, nor some nebulous nirvana a decade from now, when neither would be in office.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney also missed opportunities to lay out a compelling set of Republican alternatives. Fiscal conservatives want to cut taxes, government regulations, and federal and trade deficits — all worthy goals — but they haven't really explained how they'd make up the revenue or continue to properly safeguard the public good. If liberals shouldn't pick winners and losers in industry, neither should conservatives.
Social conservatives want to restrict abortion, promote individual initiative and responsibility, and eliminate programs they don't like, but many Americans are more concerned with jobs and the social safety net. I'm in favor of renewing the assault weapons ban, continuing to reform health care, and allowing anyone to be married, regardless of race, creed, or sexual preference. The so-called culture wars have wasted as much energy as the well-intentioned but misguided and costly wars on poverty and drugs.
On foreign policy, where I can claim more expertise than in economics, the U.S. should devise a better strategy for the current and evolving state of global affairs. Both Democrats and Republicans have coddled dictators, misjudged security threats, and needlessly rattled sabers.
Why is it that the U.S., which spends more on its military than the rest of the world combined and is the No. 1 arms seller, has lost its credibility as a peacemaker? How can we help break the nuclear standoff between Israel and Iran without escalation? How can we encourage democracy without getting embroiled in civil wars in Libya and Syria, continue to engage European and Asian allies amid their own economic turmoil, and contain the threat posed by states such as North Korea?
There are no easy answers, but bad-mouthing our creditor, commercial supplier, and geopolitical rival China doesn't strike me as particularly productive. We missed opportunities to encourage reform and stability in Eastern Europe after the Cold War, and I believe we're missing our window of influence on the emerging Asian century.
Both Obama and Romney agree on the need to eventually withdraw from Afghanistan, despite the deplorable acts of the Taliban there and in Pakistan. I hope they'll do more than mention human rights (if at all) in their final debate. Both men say they want the U.S. to become self-reliant for its energy needs, even if they differ on the means and on the need for global standards and environmental protection.
I hope my fellow citizens will try to be informed and get out and vote. Our neighbors, allies, and foes will all be watching. We may have stumbled, but the U.S. still has considerable natural and human resources, traditions of idealism and innovation, and the ability to serve as a positive example of representative democracy. I hope we choose wisely!

James DiBenedetto says:
I'm not going to argue or debate politics with you on your own blog (that would be rude!), except to say one thing. You talk about the "culture wars" as a waste of energy, but I really have to disagree with that.
I think they're far more important, because ultimately the issues that make up the "culture wars" have a huge impact on the shape of our society, on demographics, and on the relationship between the individual and the state..
Whether or not a same-sex couple has their marriage recognized or not doesn't affect either of us on a personal level. But on a larger level, changing the definition of marriage on a national level cannot help but impact the way families develop, and it will have economic effects that reach across the whole society. Debating that, whether those changes are positive or negative and to what degree, isn't a waste of energy.
gened5 says:
Jim, I didn't mean to trivialize the disagreements that Americans have over issues such as gay marriage. However, I also feel that protracted debates haven't helped people, and in the case of gay marriage, I do think that the states that have allowed it haven't suffered any ill effects.

Gisele Bundchen Enjoys Horseback Riding With Joaquim Valente While Tom Brady Spends Time With Kids
The Brazilian supermodel and the NFL star legally ended their 13-year marriage in October last year and they have agreed to have joint custody of their kids, Benjamin and Vivian.
AceShowbiz –Gisele Bundchen has further fueled rumors that there's something special between her and Joaquim Valente. The supermodel was spotted enjoying a scenic horse ride with her hunky jiu-jitsu instructor, while her ex-husband Tom Brady spent quality time with the kids.
On Tuesday, January 24, the Brazilian beauty was photographed riding horses with Joaquim in Costa Rica. She was seen flashing a big smile as she trotted around on horseback next to her alleged new man.
Gisele dressed casually in jeans and a green tank top and looked effortlessly stunning as her long golden tresses blew in the wind. The jiu-jitsu pro, meanwhile, wore a blue T-shirt, jeans and a backward baseball hat.
Gisele and Joaquim first sparked dating rumors when they were spotted enjoying a dinner date in Costa Rica in November last year. Recently, a source claimed that she has a "deep personal relationship" with him.
While Gisele enjoyed her day with Joaquim, Tom spent some quality time with the kids, 13-year-old son Benjamin and 10-year-old daughter Vivian. On Wednesday, the seven-time Super Bowl champion first posted a video of his little girl playing around with a treadmill. "In other news….the cutest roomie in the world [an earth and red heart emojis] x infinity," the NFL star captioned his Instagram Story.
Tom Brady posted a video of daughter Vivian on Instagram Story.
In a following Story, Tom uploaded a photo of Vivian and shirtless Benjamin "monkeying around" in his bed. "And in other news…2 monkeys monkeying around," the 45-year-old father wrote over the sweet snapshot, adding two monkey emojis and a couple of red heart emojis.
Gisele and Tom finalized their divorce on October 28, 2022. Following the marriage split, the now-exes agreed to have joint custody of their kids. While Gisele, who "knows" that she "made the right decision" to end her 13-year marriage to Tom, continued to fuel Joaquim dating rumors, Tom has been linked to Miss Slovakia winner Veronika Rajek, who often gushes over him on social media.

A conservation row is brewing up in KwaZulu Natal because a mining company has approached the government to set up a coal mine on the border of the Umfolozi Game Reserve. According to Peter Hartley, a conservation officer, a coal mine on the border of the reserve would prove to be an ecological disaster.
"I do not know how this could be allowed. Anyone wanting to mine in such a sensitive area has to go through a strict process. A decision should be taken on whether the mine fits in with the area's Integrated Environmental Management Plan. As far as I know, the park management has been given no information regarding the proposal," Hartley said.
Hartley added that any mining close to the Umfolozi would have a major ecological impact. "The three possible sites that have been identified are all close to a strictly-protected area, as well as, near two major rivers that flow through the reserve. A mine will cause water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution. In addition to this, one of the sites is close to our breeding area for wild birds. Any blasting or rumbling of trucks in that area will have a severe impact on the bird and animal population," Hartley added.
The company which has applied for the mining permit is Purity Investments, based in Johannesburg. Rosanne Clark, from Ian Player's Wilderness Foundation, has been trying to get information about the proposed mine from the department of mineral and energy affairs but has failed to do so. Even the community that lives in the area knows nothing about the proposed mine, although it occupies the land on which the sites are supposed to be set-up.
