Some of Peeler's homeless buddies wanted to run. But the young people had an offer: $10 a day, plus close to minimum wage, to appear on what they were calling "Homeless Real World," an Internet spoof of MTV's reality show. Peeler and his pals took the cash. Over several weeks, the producers of the show had the cast members compete to build the best cardboard house, sent them grocery shopping in a well-to-do Denver neighborhood (the homeless got dirty looks), and paid for them to golf on a public course (they got kicked off). The idea has angered some advocates for the homeless, who said the series - which has yet to be aired on the Web - exploited the homeless people and mocked them cruelly. Yet the story had a happy ending of sorts: Four of the six cast members, including Peeler, have gotten off the streets with help from the producers. After shooting was completed last spring, ManiaTV's filmmakers drove several cast members to detox centers, some more than once, and drove another to job interviews. "It was time to come in from the cold," Peeler, 53, said recently. He and fellow cast member Johnny "Sgt. Stutters" Kibodeaux, 51, have been sober for almost nine months and are living at rehab centers, where they are working as kitchen managers. Producer Darwyn Metzger said the filmmakers became attached to the homeless. "Once you make that personal connection with them, you feel you have to go above and beyond," Metzger said. "I think we were all inspired by the fact they were very honest and had good hearts." ManiaTV is pressing ahead with plans to run the show on the Internet sometime this year, with at least 10 episodes. Founded in Denver, Los Angeles-based ManiaTV is an online entertainment business producing antics that have included a live, unscripted show with prankster-comedian Tom Green and dancers in fishnet stockings. One early trailer for "Homeless Real World" featured homeless people using an advertiser's deodorant and surrounded by beautiful young models. "The homeless were exploited and used in order to create a sensationalized situation," said Greta Walker, Denver Rescue Mission spokeswoman. "This is a horrible attempt to tell the story of the homeless population in metro Denver." ManiaTV staff members said the show started out as a comic twist on "The Real World," but that changed. On its website, ManiaTV says: "Instead of following the normal reality formula of exploitation in the name of entertainment, we decided to help these folks along the way. The result is an exposé that will make you laugh, cry and, hopefully, think." During the filming, the cast members got cleaned up and received haircuts. In some of the footage, a drunk and nearly incomprehensible Kibodeaux is shown with his pants stained from having wet himself. But the series also shows him checking into rehab. "I knew it was time. I was tired. There's better things to do than drink vodka and get high every day," Kibodeaux said in an interview at the rehab center. As for some of the other cast members, ManiaTV's producers helped two more get into rehab, then put one of them on a bus to his family in Alabama, where he is now a truck driver, Metzger said. The other one moved in with a girlfriend and holds down a job at a rehab center, according to Peeler. Peeler and Kibodeaux have seen only a trailer for "Homeless Real World" and have mixed feelings about watching full episodes. "I'm not proud of the fact I was drunk on the streets," Peeler said. "It's not who I really think I am, but I don't want to forget that's where I come from. I always have the option of going back there. I have to always be aware of that." more stories like this Your Name Your e-mail address (for return address purposes) E-mail address of recipients (separate multiple addresses with commas) Name and both e-mail fields are required.

A major task of the project was a literature review that examines what is known about parenting across the developmental stages of childhood and adolescence, how different parenting dimensions or behaviors relate to outcomes for adolescence, and what is known about the strategies and effectiveness of interventions to improve parenting practices. The review draws on two linked research literatures: theoretical and empirical research on children’s development and the role played by parental and other influences on that development and on outcomes in adolescence; and evaluative research on programmatic approaches to improving parenting.

__label__cc	0.528106	0.471894	Understanding Ultron: A Turing test for world domination by Peter McOwan, Queen Mary University of London Avengers: Age of Ultron is the latest film about robots or artificial intelligences (AI) trying to take over the world. AI is becoming ever present in our lives, at least in the form of software tools that demonstrate elements of human-like intelligence. AI in our mobile phones apply and adapt their rules to learn to serve us better, for example. But fears of AI's potential negative impact on humanity remain as seen in its projection into characters like Ultron, a super-intelligence accidentally created by the Avengers. But what relation do the evil AIs of the movies have to scientific reality? Could an AI take over the world? How would it do it? And why would it want to? AI movie villains need to consider the whodunit staples of motive and opportunity. Motive? What motive? Let's look at the motive. Few would say Intelligence in itself unswervingly leads to a desire to rule the world. In movies AI are often driven by self preservation, a realisation that fearful humans might shut them down. But would we give our AI tools cause to feel threatened? They provide benefits for us and there also seems little reason in creating a sense of self-awareness in a system that searches the web for the nearest Italian restaurant, for example. Another popular motive for AIs' evilness is their zealous application of logic.In Ultron's case the goal of protecting the earth can only be accomplished by wiping out humanity. This destruction by logic is reminiscent of the notion that a computer would select a stopped clock over one that is two seconds slow, as the stopped clock is right twice a day whereas the slow one is never right. Ultron's plot motivation, based on brittle logic combined with indifference to life, seems at odds with todays AI systems that reason mathematically with uncertainty and are built to work safely with users. When we consider an AI's opportunity to rule the world we are on somewhat firmer ground. The famous Turning Test of machine intelligence was set up to measure a particular skill - the ability to conduct a believable conversation. The premise being that if you can't tell the difference between AI and human skill, the AI has passed the test and should be considered as intelligent as humans. So what would a Turing Test for the 'skill' of world domination look like? To explore that we need to compare the antisocial AI behaviours with the attributes expected of human world domination. World dominators need to control important parts of our lives, say our access to money or our ability to buy a house. AI does that already - lending decisions are frequently made by an AI sifting through mountains of information to decide your credit worthiness. AIs now trade on the stock market too. An overlord would give orders and expect them to be followed. Anyone who has stood helplessly at a shop's self-service till as it makes repeated bagging related demands of them already knows what it feels like to be bossed about by AIs. Kill Bill? Finally, no megalomaniac hollywood robot would be complete without at least some desire to kill us. Today military robots can identify targets without human intervention. It is currently a human controller that gives permission to attack but it's not a stretch to say that the potential to auto kill exists in these AIs, but we would need to change the computer code to allow it. These examples arguably show AI in control in limited but significant parts of life on earth, but to truly dominate the world, movie style, these individual AIs would need to start working together to create a synchronised AI army - that bossy self-service till talking to your health monitor and denying selling you beer, then both ganging up with a credit scoring system to only raise your credit limit if you both buy a pair of trainers with a built in GPS tracker and only eat the kale from your smart fridge but after the shoe data shows you completed the required five mile run. It's a worrying picture but fortunately I think it's an unlikely one. Engineers worldwide are developing the Internet of things, networks connecting all manner of devices together to create new services. These are pieces of a jigsaw that would need to join together and form a big picture for total world domination. It's an unlikely situation - too much has too fall into place and work togethre. It's a lot like the infamous plot-hole in Independence Day - where an Apple Mac and an alien spaceship's software inexplicably have cross-platform compatibility. Our earthly AI systems are written in a range of computer languages, hold different data in different ways and use different and non-compatible rule sets and learning techniques. Unless we design them to be compatible there is no reason why adding two safely designed AI systems, developed by separate companies for separate services would spontaneously blend to share capabilities and form some greater common goal without human intervention. So could AIs, and the robot bodies containing them, pass the test and take over the world? Only if we humans let them, and help them a lot. Why would we? Perhaps because humans are the stupid ones!

The event brings together a range of multidisciplinary scholars and practitioners. The workshop hopes to generate dialogue on the notion of surrogate structures that have become the visible landmarks of contemporary life, and produce new conceptual frameworks to help us understand networks and the ways in which they inform our everyday practice and thought. The Habits of Living Thinkathon took off today with an introduction by Wendy Chun, who led us through a critical review of the relevant academic theory on networks and network analysis to help us understand how ubiquitous networks have become as a method of conceptualizing and understanding the world around us. But why networks? What is the explanatory power of networks? Networks enable us to map the unmappable, to trace the complex, unimaginably big structures that post-modernism left us with, and to be able to define our own unique existence. However, what becomes apparent is that we seem to be forever mapping, but we are no more able to realize our place within the capitalist society we live in, much less escape it. Rather than resolving them, mapping leads to the generation of more networks, and as we become more proficient at identifying and mapping networks, the more static they become. As Wendy Chun says, "We seem to be forever moving and never changing." Continuing on, Chun asks: why has the network become the end rather than the beginning of the answer? What drives the impetus to see un-seeable networks everywhere? Chun presents the Thinkathon's theme of Habits of Living as an epistemological framework to grapple with these questions. For Chun, the 'habit' works as a particularly useful heuristic to unpack and deconstruct some of the central components of the network. A habit is something that is acquired through time and then forgotten about as it moves from voluntary to involuntary. In fact, a habit can start as something we do and become something we are. With this in mind, we are asked to think: how has the network become habitualised and what are the implications of this? What is the importance of time in the mapping and lived experiences of networks? In looking at networks from this meta-level, we can ask: why do we think networks make us forever moving but never changing? Chun's presentation is received well, but one concern gets noted early on. This discourse of the 'network' privileges a very particular Western subjectivity, one which may not be applicable to collectivist cultures where communities have always existed with network structures. What becomes apparent is that we need to start collecting alternate discussions and input from a non-Western understanding of a network in order to truly understand what it is to live in a network society. Following Wendy's talk, Nishant Shah continues the discussion on networks by contributing several other crucial epistemological interventions to begin our consideration of the Habits of Living. Nishant begins by asserting that we — perhaps naively — want to believe that networks have the innate ability to generate change. The way we commonly view networks, especially in a post-Arab Spring world, is with the understanding that the network is the panacea for all of our social ills. However, the body of the network is the only problem that the network can solve. That is to say, the network can only produce an account of itself; it cannot be used to create understandings of things outside of its own boundaries. Nishant briefly reviews the recent "Northeast Exodus" from the global tech city of Bengaluru, in which the dissemination of SMS messages within various networks caused a panic. The knowledge that moved through the networks terrified people before real information on the events could be consumed. Nishant shows how events like these cause people to claim that something has gone wrong with the network, which is particularly worrying for the state, as how can they fix an issue in a network that they cannot see? Further unpacking this scenario, Nishant shows how the minute the network becomes visible, it is a crisis. Participants expressed concern about the use of 'network' in this discourse. What actually does the 'network' describe — can it stand as a heuristic for so many different relations? Additionally, what is the truth that the network seeks to expose or reveal? Is there an actual truth that can be unearthed through the network? Nishant responded that many of these questions will hopefully be answered over the next four days of the Thinkathon — and we are definitely looking forwards to it!

__label__wiki	0.867053	0.867053	This All-Female DJ Collective Wants to Empower the Women of Shanghai’s Nocturnal World In 19th-century rural China, peasant women of the Jiangyong County in the southern Hunan province developed a secret script named Nüshū. Its characters, mastered by women and indecipherable to men, appear in thin, downward-slanting wisps, like spider legs dancing across paper. Women used the writing system to communicate their most intimate thoughts to one another in China’s heavily gender-divided society—a disparity that still endures today. These ancient origins have inspired the founders of a new NVSHU, an all-female music collective founded in 2018 among the ever-expanding skylines of modern-day Shanghai. Lhaga Koondhor (aka Asian Eyez), Amber Akilla, and Daliah Spiegel began the project last year by offering deejaying lessons to femme, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ people in the local electronic music scene. But beyond that, they hoped to provide these marginalized individuals—among them, emerging producers, DJs, and artists—a gathering place in the cit Although this class of DJ workshop has become increasingly prevalent in the West, in Shanghai, NVSHU is the first of its kind. As expat DJs, Koondhor and Akilla bonded over their parallel histories of navigating the white, male-dominated Western club industry. Despite coming from different backgrounds—Spiegel, originally from Vienna, relocated to Shanghai in 2014; Koondhor and Akilla moved from Switzerland and Australia, respectively, in 2017—all three strove to activate “a space that allows female and LGTBQ+ people to DJ without feeling intimidated,” Akilla says. In their eyes, NVSHU is more of a loose network of instructors and participants with similar values organized over social media rather than “a closed members club,” Koondhor says. NVSHU offers lessons in both English and Mandarin, and while its founders are English speakers, they are careful of imposing their native language onto local students and extend that sensitivity to every corner of what they do. As an expatriate, Akilla is acutely aware of the limits of trying to transfer Western ideas of feminism to Shanghai; the goal of NVSHU is to empower marginalized individuals through music education, but they are also wary of engaging in overtly political discussions with their students. “I can’t tell a woman who is growing up here how she should perceive her sexuality or her gender identity,” Akilla says. “That’s a form of colonization. You can only support people on their journey.” Discourse on feminism is fundamentally different in China than in Australia and Europe; both share the goal of gender equality, but, in recent years, the Chinese Women’s Rights Movement has faced rigid government repression. In its early days, China’s Communist Party enforced state feminism as part of its ideology, with equal labor fueling the country’s economic resilience—so much so that during the ‘50s and ‘60s, the nation boasted the highest female labor force participation in the world. Market reforms over the last few decades, however, led to a disproportionate number of women losing jobs compared to men, and since 2007, the Chinese government has peddled propaganda encouraging young, educated women to get married, have children, and realign themselves with traditional gender roles. Those in their late 20s who refuse to comply are deemed undesirable sheng nu, or “leftover women,” but in response to this, the China’s Women’s Rights movement has found ways to evade the country’s Internet censorship and gather force on social media—even adding their voices to the global #MeToo movement. NVSHU’s founders consider themselves devoted feminists and allies, but their central aim is to facilitate empowerment through individual personal expression—itself a radical act. “We want to encourage people to explore their creativity,” Akilla says. “We’ve started with music as the tool to do that, but we hope that the confidence people get from learning with a practice like deejaying can support them in other parts of their life.” The goal of NVSHU, then, is to apply an inclusive vision to Shanghai’s emerging nightlife scene, which exists as a unique space for people to explore their creative freedom. The city’s nocturnal world is, after all, still a relatively blank canvas. Due to the strict policies enforced by the Cultural Revolution of Mao Zedong in the ‘60s and ‘70s, certain musical genres and instruments were fiercely regulated for decades; following Mao’s death in 1976, the country entered a new era of modernity and accelerated economic progress, but there was still no popular nightlife in China until the ’90s. The underground club scene, as a result, is still in its infancy. NVSHU and their contemporaries—left-field collectives such as Asian Dope Boys and record labels like Genome 6.66 Mbp—are actively sculpting this subcultural landscape on their own terms. For Koondhor, electronic music provided the conduit for her own personal expression. In her teenage years before she entered the music industry, Koondhor worked in a buttoned-up finance apprenticeship at a Swiss bank, following in the footsteps of a family line of bankers. “The weekend was my escape,” she says, an opportunity to transform into a more fearless version of herself. Club culture became a playground for brash style statements—a black marker under her eye à la Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes or DIY shredded jeans. Akilla, who has always favored a more androgynous wardrobe of sneakers and oversize suit jackets says that “mainstream rhetoric has a very narrow constraints on femininity, so one thing the underground has taught me is how to learn and redefine beauty for myself.” Previous ArticleTips on landing your dream fashion jobNext ArticleFKA Twigs’s Park Avenue Armory Show Was a Baroque Fashion Fantasy Kristen Stewart Proves Sneakers are the Ultimate Red Carpet Accessory Chloë Sevigny’s Winter Accessory?

RCC, by way of example, emerged from the congressional hearings with a black eye, but failed to disappear completely. Alternatively, it altered their brand to Equifax in 1975 and went on on its span of computerization. Quickly enough, it has been joined up with by Experian and Transsum. Jointly, they comprise the ‘Big Three’ of credit reporting. Despite developing need for their particular work, however, all three vendors always been hamstrung by things that experienced very long impacted the: namely, the difficulty of interpreting and researching the company’s research. To fix this, the two started dealing with a tech service to develop a credit-scoring protocol. The company’s term was truthful, Isaac and Company—though it is known today as FICO. Honest, Isaac and Company is well positioned https://worldloans.online/1-hour-payday-loans/ to defend myself against this task. Established in 1956, the firm experienced been already offering credit-scoring calculations for decades whenever the chief Three set about her quest for an industry-standard credit score. The result, which hit the industry in 1989, got remarkably very similar to the formula continue to being used now. Quickly used during the credit field, the FICO achieve showed the ultimate consummation of a process that set out by using the Bradstreet Company’s basic credit-rating handbook. Their arrival created that, thenceforth, nearly everyone in the us could possibly have a codified monetary name. Will no longer the sole province of business consumers, monetary identity had get an undeniable fact of lives in modern-day The usa. Background reminds us that, typical precisely as it currently sounds, debt rating try anything but global. Members of earlier times correctly worried about the focus of run in the hands of secretive, privately-held organizations—firms that Lewis Tappan on a regular basis was required to reduce the chances of prices of espionage, and this one furious antebellum commentator described as an innovative new Inquisition. Even today, anxieties continue to be. Like yesteryear, credit rating can function as a means of having personal hierarchies. Especially among poorer People in america, low credit scores typically translate into significant down payments and better rates of interest on purchases—terms that put an undue strain on family spending plans which typically produce high prices of personal bankruptcy and traditional, which generally decreased people’s credit reports extra. Not every one of history’s course, but are really unflattering. Credit rating ended up being vital to launch economic the possiblility to a wider cross-section of Americans—allowing them to get not simply baubles, but life-changing goods as well. The choice to credit rating, in addition, try a disappointing one. Vendor modern-day years, loans was anchored in individual interactions. These interactions might be nurturing. But often these people were predatory. Currently, clearly, financial ne’er-do-wells have never vanished. But FICO score accomplish at the least let people to move effortlessly between creditors. Above all, the actual past of credit reporting reveals you the reason why it’s crucial that you take note of the institution as a whole, and not merely for our own ratings. Today, credit file are widely-used to notify choices about housing, work, insurance premiums and the price resources. But problems on credit history are frequent. And plenty of of the buyer securities in FCRA are being circumvented by opaque, own evaluation devices under advancement at big finance institutions. Though cloaked in algorithmic objectivity, the raison d’etre from the modern-day credit score rating matches the scrawled data in Tappan’s substantial ledgers: to discover not simply who is able to pay their obligations, but who can decide to do so. To respond this in essence ethical question—and to make ‘good’ behavior—credit bureaus have developed surveillance and information-sharing techniques rivaling all inside the system associated with the condition. These has produced positive, real. Even so they have inscribed People in the us’ financial histories inside the indelible digital ledgers of modern capitalism—for the mighty to check out, in addition to the majority to peek.

Legally complicated by design, election law is used by the incumbents to throw hundreds of challengers off the ballot, resulting in 98 percent being re-elected no matter how bad of a job they are doing, no matter how badly they hurt us and the state. Assemblywoman Millman is directly responsible for this crisis in democracy because she chairs the Assembly’s Election Law Committee, the sole chairperson who has the power to affect real reform, yet she has done nothing of substance and has not been held one bit accountable, not even for her $12,500 lulu. But has the broken election law that Millman protects knocked off challengers with the skills to fix this state? Yes. NYS Senator Daniel Squadron writes a counter-point to Biviano: Brooklyn Paper: So, how can we fix it? Can it even be fixed? After 18 months in the Senate, I know that it can. The truth is, despite ongoing frustration — on the budget, campaign finance reform, housing, buses and subways, and other issues — I do believe the senate has already achieved some important victories. We passed comprehensive ethics reform out of the legislature, including my bill to close the “Bruno Gap,” making it illegal for public officers to use government resources for outside, for-profit business. We implemented rules reform to improve the legislative process, including a more equitable allocation of resources and a greater ability for rank-and-file members to get bills voted on in committees and before the entire house. And these procedural changes have been matched by some significant policy successes, including reform of the Rockefeller Drug Laws, new oversight of public authorities, a green jobs program, and the bill I sponsored to federalize 21 public-housing developments and bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in federal aid.

Unfortunately, his logic fails at a basic level: both incumbents and challengers are governed by the same law. If an upstart like Senator Squadron can dedicate himself to learning the law and defeating, of all people, Marty Connor, a master of election law, that’s proof that it can be done. In my opinion, clarifying some of the more Byzantine parts of the ballot access requirements is a worthy project but more important election law reforms don’t involve ballot access. Rather, they involve issues like campaign finance reform, instant run-off voting and non-partisan redistricting. I think Senator Squadron has the right idea: if we keep the pressure on and maintain “sustained engagement,” we can tackle those issues and create a New York State we can all be proud of. WillowtownCop I think all politicians should be limited to two terms. How can we expect anything to change when the same person has been in office for 30 or 40 years? I strongly disagree Mr. Strauss’s comments. There is a HUGE disadvantage for those without party support who want to run for office. The signature requirements are practically unattainable for people who do not have unlimited funds (see Daniel Squadron) or for those without party support (see everyone else). In addition, i do not believe daniel squadron ran to pass the bills he describes… He ran to reform albany and painted connor as a mainstream get-along-to-go-along democrat. We need gutsy Senate members who can shed light on the private caucus meetings and brinksmanship that go on in Albany. Democrats vote yes to bills that wont pass or that will be vetoed to make a point. Budget is not being passed. It is a joke and Our state senator is doing nothing to help, at least nothing that I can see.	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line50
__label__cc	0.657933	0.342067	Colchester - Joannina The plan for the day was to make Munich where accommodation and showers had been arranged. The route Nigel had planned was via Stuttgart, but as this would have meant trying to get a convoy across Munich I suggested that as the overnight stop was on the Nuremburg side of Munich, it would be better if we went via Frankfurt and Wurzburg. I also suggested that I went in front and try and pull the convoy along, as we could not continue the way we had the first day. He agreed with me. That settled we set off with the minibus bringing up the rear and myself as leader. All went well for a couple of hours with me listening to the other guys chatting away on the CB when all of a sudden P & O called out on the CB to me. Do you have a CB handle Anglo Greek? I replied that on the Greek run I was known as the Colonel. Back came this booming voice in a sarcastic tone. Get him " The Colonel". I kept quiet and thought to myself that here we had a comedian and before the trip was finished I am sure I would get my own back. Then we lost "Cornflake" and "Fat man". We stopped and waited for an hour, but they did not come along so we decided to push on to Munich. We parked up on a service area and caught a taxi to where we were having our showers and meal. After the meal we made our way back to the trucks for a good nights sleep. In the morning, there was still no sign of them. Eleven “o’clock” and they come sweeping into the service area, looking as if they had not washed or slept. The delay was caused because the BRS truck got a puncture and the minibus stopped to help. I still cannot believe that they called in BRS European rescue to change a wheel. Still, they are only treating this as an adventure. Then Nigel fell over the Armco whilst taking a photograph of the wheel being changed and ended up in hospital with a broken leg. It was if that was par for the course. Nigel, now with his leg in plaster, said there was no problem because we only had to make Rimini for that nights stop. When I mentioned that there was a small non- EEC country called Austria, between Italy, and us he admitted that he did not realise that Aid convoys were subject to the same controls other than the possibility of free passage through the Brenner Pass. After a fairly long day we finally made Rimini and parked up on the service area at Montefeltro. The following day proved to be nice and orderly as we made Bari and embarked on the Ventouris Ferry for Igoumenitsa on the Greek mainland. By this time, Nigel was discussing with me everything relevant to the route. His plan was to disembark at Igoumenitsa and drive to Korce. Albania. Where we would unload. When I said this was impossible and explained that it would take at least two and quarter hours to reach Joannina. A distance of 93 kilometres away because it was all up, he decided that it would be best if we stayed at Joannina for the night and send the minibus up to the border to see if we would be allowed to enter Albania the following day, which just happened to be May 1.	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line54

__label__cc	0.535416	0.464584	Dan Fioretti By Don Campau \| 17 November 2011 Dan Fioretti and I came into contact sometime in the mid 1980s. I had seen his name in Sound Choice and we traded some tapes not long afterwards. His joie de vivre outlook was refreshing and his energy level pretty amazing. At the time his prolific nature was mind blowing. It seemed he was releasing a tape almost every day and collaborations with people like Ken Clinger came at an accelerated pace. It may be trite to say but there is no one quite like Dan. His vision may seem naive but behind his hijinks is a cagey, creative individual who walks his own path proudly. Dan had a casio keyboard style mixed with sung/spoken vocals that sometimes sounded like it was recorded in a box in another room. To me though, this only created a more magical presence. Later, he started using midi keyboard for a much higher fidelity and utterly abstract compositional sense for amazing results. His two styles could not have been any different. As noted, Fioretti collaborated with many other home tapers. His Kenny And The Clingtones tapes ( with Ken Clinger) were hilarious, bizarre, sometimes frustrating and plenty. To me, nothing was better though than his duets with Heather Perkins as evidenced on their absolute classic cover, ”I Got You Babe” download here. This is the essence of Fioretti: his humor, sense of comraderie, plain goofiness and celebration of self creation. In the early days Dan would hand color by magic marker not only the tape covers but the tape labels as well. Above, his tribute to my own daughter Nicole with guest appearances by yours truly, Dino DiMuro, Ken Clinger and others. Below, the tape shell for this 1988 release. At first I couldn’t believe how lo fi his tapes were. And then after becoming familiar with them this aspect only added to the charm. Above, his late 1980s cassette, “The Present Day Composer Refuses To Diet” What are some of your earliest memories about hearing music? The Monkees! The show started when I was in kindergarten. At least ONE person on the internet guessed my age from that. Before that, there was a record of The Chipmunks singing with kids. They did a rockin’ version of Rag Mop! R, I say R_A, RAG….. Did you play any instruments as a kid? Some piano but that’s about it. When did you first hear of the underground network? One day I was doing my laundry at a laundromat and I went next door and I got a magazine. It was Sound Choice. The rest is history. Did you already have completed tapes to trade? I had about four tapes, including the original C-30 version of No Reason To Worry and the C-30 When Drowning Men Sing The Blues, which was reissued as the C-60 No Reason To Worry. Who were some of your earliest tape trading partners? You were one of the first, and the second tape you sent was Pinata Party, and I got addresses from Ken Clinger and Dino DiMuro from that. Also, I knew you from the Music For Muzak’s Sake compilation and I got some other addresses from that, too. Kitti Man became your “non de plume” early on. Why? Kathy the Post Office Lady was the mail lady at the Highland Park post office and she called me that. Didn’t you release a tape by your cat at one point? It was a CD! I converted my kitty’s meowing sounds to MIDI and I made a CD of variations! When I visited you in Princeton in 1995 I was surprised to see your tapes on display at The Princeton record Exchange, a local record store. How did that come about? They said they have music releases by local artists and they asked me if they could have some tapes to put in the store. I brought some in and they played one. It was fun to walk around the store with people listening to my music. You have done countless collaborations with many home recording artists, especially Ken Clinger. What makes this interesting to you? It’s fun to have people bring things to your music that you don’t actually do youself, like Dino playing banjo. Also, I can make this big list of all the big names in the cassette network I did collabs with. Were you ever afraid of being too personal and giving away too much information about yourself? In the earliest days your sound was very lo fi, filled with personal references and extremely quirky. Your use of casio style keyboard and sung/spoken lyrics and talking was unlike anything I’d ever heard. Did you improvise most of this…or was their a plan? I’m like Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight Returns. Do I look like I have a plan? I just started singing and talking and whatever came out went onto the tape. Then, sometime later your music took a dramatic turn with complex keyboard compositions that may have been informed by Zappa and Phillip Glass but were totally unique and unlike anything I’d ever heard. Was this the result of learning new equipment? I wouldn’t exactly say ‘LEARNING’. More like David Bowie and Brian Eno throwing away the owner’s manual. It’s more fun that way. You also wrote reviews for various magazines. Did you simply volunteer and then the tapes started to roll in? I just said I wanted to review thingies and they sent stuff. Did you ever get any hostility after giving a negative review? I never had any complaints. After the internet took over you seemed to slowly disappear in a way. No longer sending out many tapes or CDs and gradually sort of fading away. Did you expect the internet to be just as fertile and active as the postal system? The internet is actually a lot faster than the postal system. You don’t have to walk everything to the post office, you don’t have to spend money on blank tapes or time on duplicating tapes. You can write a song and upload it immediately. That’s fun. Do you still occasionally mail out packages? I haven’t been mailing anything out. What are your projects or goals now? I’m in semi-retirement. I digitally remastered most of my catalog, but I have a SMALL number of things left to go. What’s the best URL for people to hear your music or for contact? My solo music Seagull Sea Productions features my collab projects Kenny & The Cling-Tones, collabs with The Silly Pillows, Nick, Kayla, Heather Perkins, and Your Host Bobby. Thanks Dan, good luck with all,Don Dan’s recordings, his album packages, his writings, and even his tweets have a wonder and innocent brilliance that is uniquely his own. His creativity is delightfully unfettered. And his reviews and observations on music are full of insight. If cassette culture is a family filled with crazy uncles, Dan still stands out as one-of-a-kind. Ken Clinger Dan Fioretti and I started trading tapes, soon after I moved to Pittsburgh in 1985. It was quickly obvious that we shared a similar sense of humor and attitude towards recording. There were times when I thought he was the most Bovine of all. We’ve done many musical and literary collaborations, celebrating the glories of celebrities, talking animals, spontaneous recitations, and all like that there (to quote a Fioretti topic closer.) Heather Perkins As with most of my tape-trading pals, I never actually met Dan Fioretti. But we did collaborate the old-school way, by sending tapes to each other and jamming on what we got. I think he and I came up with some really odd and cool stuff. My parts on our collab “We’re All Hoping For Some Rain,” which heavily featured the noble Casio SK-1, were recorded during a drought-ridden Eugene summer, and that song is to this day one of my most beloved tunes. It wouldn’t have happened without Dan’s music. We worked together on several songs in the 80s, and he also was the featured imaginary character in the song “Sir Dan In The City Of Steel,” on my cassette Steel Tribe. Dan seemed tireless, always creating, and was – and is, I think – a tireless champion and cheerleader when it came to the music of others. So that was inspiring. He was always reaching out – and I still feel bad for the fact that I was never much of a conversationalist when he would occasionally call me at my house. (Dan, if you’re reading this, I was working 3 or 4 jobs at the time, and was never fully awake during those days. And I’m not good on the phone on my best days, anyway. But it was nice that you called!) So, do yourself a favor, if you haven’t already, and dig back into the Kitti Tapes archives. You’ll discover an incredibly vibrant and unique voice, and a wealth of heartfelt music from a mind and heart like no other. And, as Dan used to say – that’s fun. Jonathan Caws-Elwitt Dan Fioretti epitomizes the playfully imaginative side of home-recording culture. When one becomes his friend and collaborator, one enters a cartoonish, benignly bizarre world, a Fioretti-designed alternate universe populated by minor celebrities, idiosyncratic animals, and strangely compelling synthesizer music. Words like “original,” “eclectic,” and “inimitable” are unequal to the task of describing Mr. Fioretti. Dino DiMuro THE TOP TEN REASONS I REMEMBER DAN FIORETTI 1. That inimitable voice, though I try my best to copy it! (Oh YEAH!) 2. The Cool Lingo 3. The great book of Kitti Comix he sent me years ago, with that deceptively simple, finely-tuned style, like a more genteel Matt Groening 4. The fact that he once made a 24-hour-long cassette tape. When I asked how he did it, he said: “Well, you put in a 60 minute tape, and when it’s done, you take it out and put in the next one, and…” 5. The fun collaborations we’ve done in the past 6. The fact that I could send him samples from the cutting room floor, and he’d turn around and release it as OUTTAKES AND SNOUTTAKES. 7. All those great reviews he wrote for Sound Choice 8. The Mildew Lady 9. David Letterman and Paul Schaffer 10. Music not only from another world, but from the UNDERGROUND of another world!	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line59

Where else can you find a giant outdoor chessboard, industrial-era artifacts and playgrounds within a few blocks? Ladysmith is a community defined by artistic expression. You’ll find that arts, culture, First Nations heritage and our rich history all come alive here. Two major initiatives will help make that connection even stronger. The municipality has begun a multi-million-dollar Arts and Heritage Hub project. And Ladysmith Arts Council is drafting a public arts strategy. Both aim to better the quality of life for our residents and visitors. The centre of our cultural community is the landmark Machine Shop. It was built in 1943. It houses Ladysmith Waterfront Gallery, Harbour Heritage Centre and artist studios for your enjoyment. The arts council and Ladysmith Maritime Society both have offices there. The Hub project will create even more of a gathering place in the area. Its vision anticipates a raised boardwalk and new studio spaces and shops. They’ll surround a restored Machine Shop and steam locomotive. The project will be done in phases. You’ll also enjoy the benefits of the public arts strategy. It unites local artists, arts and culture organizations, schools and community members, and Stz’uminus First Nation. The initiatives reflect the value we place on culture. Whatever your passion, you can indulge it thanks to our many visual and performing artists. Ladysmith is a caring and proud community. We’re known for our volunteer spirit and offer you many opportunities to get involved with your friends and neighbours.

Control Solutions, Inc. - Minnesota Energy Analytics Controllers Edge devices now have the intelligence and data storage they need for local analytics and machine decision-making. They’ll soon be the thing that the rest of the BAS universe revolves around. Alper Üzmezler, BASSG LLC. When people say that we are living in the post-PC era they mean that the personal computer is being eclipsed as the center of the IT universe by the smartphone. Operations technology is experiencing a similar reordering. In this new era of the Internet of Things (IoT), compute resources equivalent to a PC or smartphone are being integrated into all sorts of equipment and devices. For commercial buildings, a new category of IoT device is emerging—the Energy Analytics Controller (EAC). Smart building applications development should revolve around the enormous possibilities of these edge devices. What is an edge device? Anyone designing an IoT architecture must decide which tasks are best performed locally by a device at the network’s edge versus remotely by a cloud-hosted application. Within the IT world, an edge device is defined as a gateway or global controller. Within the building automation world, a direct digital controller (DDC) can be considered an edge controller. Likewise, a global controller is an edge controller. Physically, the network’s edge might be integrated into roof-top equipment, solar arrays, utility-owned equipment, data center infrastructure, etc. The EAC marks a new generation of edge-device in that they will come with tagged, preconfigured apps to automate the workloads typical at these edge locations. One of the most revolutionary aspects of having robust compute resources at the DDC level is that edge devices like energy analytics controllers can do analytics processing of large data sets. Application developers are challenged to make the most of this new capability. The Buildings-IoT represents an opportunity to radically rethink the software architectures that define core workflows such as detecting and diagnosing faults in equipment, responding to occupant hot/cold calls, shifting energy loads to participate in demand response programs, and performing other building operations management tasks. Energy analytics controllers are capable of high-speed handling of the work involved in trending data, adding semantic tagging and generating analytics. Doing these tasks locally and sharing the results among other edge devices opens the path to a host of new applications. The basic resources that an energy analytics controller should integrate include a powerful processor, on-board memory, flash storage and IP connectivity. The open Sedona Framework is the type of real-time controls engine that works well in a software architecture built to support EAC devices at the edge. Essentially, app assembly happens here. Using easy-to-learn graphical block programming methods, solution developers can define desired inputs and outputs to EACs. Tridium has opened the Sedona Framework to the public with an academic free license and it has self-sustaining community support. Bringing the cloud to the edge Another trend is to run building services on an IP backbone, bringing high-speed Ethernet connectivity all the way to EAC devices. This provides unprecedented capacity to store and compute data on the edge. A Smart Building System Integrator can use this broadband capacity and the EAC’s resources to fundamentally change how equipment is controlled. At this point, it becomes practical to design solutions that involve: Importing data from linked processes Enforcing machine rules based upon reported run-time and occupant comfort issues Bringing tenant satisfaction information from a web user interface or installed touch-screen device Visualizing real-time and historical data Interfacing with HTML5 dashboards that permit easy block programming with tags Generating visualizations and analytics based on controls logic results Even with all the power of IP-enabled EAC edge devices, finding operational anomalies is a complex task. It starts with transferring streams of data into a historian, or high-speed database. This transfer of data is the preliminary requirement. Next the raw data needs to be structured in preparation for analysis. This step is being made easier by semantic tagging systems that enable the definition of models that are self-describing. The semantic system can be integrated with the analytics program for greater efficiency. BASSG utilizes the open-source Project-Haystack standard for semantic modeling. It also uses the Skyspark® Analytics engine from Skyfoundry in its EAC architectures. For visualizations and dashboards, BASSG uses it own branded software, Visualytik. A Project-Haystack software stack is built upon multiple technologies such as the text-based open source file format Zinc. Zinc allows semantic tag definitions called markers. Multiple markers combine together to define what a BMS point means and does. There is also a web-services layer of the stack for querying data within the database. Once a data management architecture like this is set up the power of the EAC can be brought forward. For example, in a data center optimization scenario, an EAC could be used for cooling optimization. The goal is to keep the environment sufficiently cool to not risk overheating processors and server failures, while not wastefully over-cooling the space. This balance is largely a function of the amount of heat that servers are generating, and this is highly dependent on their processing load. An EAC-enabled workflow set up for this challenge would have the edge devices capturing real-time CPU readings and calculating a cooling load value from this data. The EAC would then feed this value to the CRAC unit as a parameter. In response, the control system would deliver more or less cooling. All this would happen before the space was allowed to heat up to the point that a room thermostat detected the change in temperature. This proactive approach to cooling would decrease risk of server failure due to overheating, improving the reliability of the data center overall. The availability of EAC’s at attractive price/performance points would make this a viable approach for data center operators. EACs are a powerful addition to the smart building system integrator’s tool case. Going forward, EACs will serve in the core functions of: Data (Transfer In-Out) with semantic modeling Visualization on the web Tuning Real-time and historical control algorithms As described in the data center optimization example above, tagged, preconfigured apps to run on EACs will be the trend in the future. Real-time control, analytics and visuals will never be the same again. EACs are the way control will be done in the 21st Century.	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line112

Yield-hungry investors are pouring record amounts of cash into emerging markets. Commodities and food prices are rising into bubble territory. In fact, not a single meaningful reform has yet to be passed that would prevent such an event from erupting again. The EU, however, is trying to change that, with the proposed introduction of the first-ever Tobin tax on foreign exchange trades. The campaign is being led by French President Nicolas Sarokozy, who happens to be the current Chairman of both the G8 and G20. Recently, he has used his podium for populist rants against the international financial system. To his credit, Sarkozy has done more than bluster. He is fighting to advance the idea for a minute tax on all financial transactions, with the aim of reducing volatility and raising money for cash-strapped governments. The so-called Tobin tax was first proposed in 1971 by Nobel Laureate James Tobin. While it has always enjoyed support from a handful of leftist economists, it has never been seriously considered by any western country. In the wake of the financial crisis, however, anger towards speculation seems to be peaking, and some governments might finally have enough political capital to push forward the idea. In fact, France has already obtained the tepid support of other EU members, notably Austria. In addition, the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee of the European Parliament has backed the idea. The EU is fighting to keep the Euro alive and its member states solvent, and it clearly resents the (perceived) role of speculators in betting on default and breakup. Proponents of the Tobin tax generally cite the amount of revenue it could raise as its chief benefit. For example, it has been estimated that a .005% on forex transactions could raise $26 Billion worldwide, while a .05% tax on all financial transactions could generate as much as $700 Billion in revenue. Even though studies suggest that it wouldn’t do much to reduce volatility (and perhaps speculation), the fact that it shouldn’t destabilize markets is enough to satisfy some of its naysayers. Not surprisingly, the US remains opposed to such a policy, on the grounds that it could “send misleading signals that could hamper investment to end extraction and cause production bottlenecks.” This kind of incantation rings hollow, however, and it’s clear that the biggest obstacle to its being implemented is almost certainly the bank lobby, which has insisted that a Tobin tax would “cause serious damage to this highly efficient [forex] market.” Personally, I’m a cautious advocate of the Tobin tax. At .005%, it would levy $10 on every round-trip lot ($100,000) forex transaction. This would punish those that engage in leveraged account-churning and computerized, rapid-fire trading, without impacting those that take a longer-term approach to forex. In addition, it would impact institutional traders and investment banks (which currently monopolize all financial markets) much more than retail traders. Then again, they would probably just shift more of their trading into unregulated, private markets. At this point, the Tobin tax is still probably a long-shot. The fact that it’s being seriously considered, however, is nothing short of remarkable.

Especially if it is a ‘minute’ tax. I can see the benefit of the revenue that such a tax would bring in. But to thinly mask that behind the guise of curbing another bubble from being created…that seems like classic ivory tower nonsense to me. If anything, I would think that such a tax would create inflation. Large financial institutions are not going to pay for this tax. They will just pass it on to their customers.

Bigotry or white supremacy in any form is blasphemy against the American creed.” Did Love Field have a movie theater back in the day? I know my church took us to see Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid once and we all took a bus, and I could swear it was at Love Field. Did it have a roller rink? An ice rink? I think I've mentioned this before, but there used to be a light rail that went from a parking lot into the Tandy Center in downtown Fort Worth. I was on a double date in high school and as we were leaving the guy conducting one of the trains (which was empty) yelled at us as we were getting into our car, "Can you tell me my speed?" He wanted us to drive along side him in the empty parking lot because he wanted to see how fast he could get the train to go. I did it. He got it up to somewhere in the 30s. He was an idiot. I was an idiot. But it was fun. There was a comment yesterday that said Tarrant County DA Sharen Wilson is letting associates in a big law firm (Kelly, Hart) come in and try DWI cases (for experience I suppose.) Is that true? That cannot possibly be true. White Supremacist Richard Spencer spoke at the University of Florida and it wasn't pretty. A handful of people showed up to support him wearing white shirts. Even if you support him, which is their right, why show up at public event to be photographed? It will have life long consequences. They actually raised their hands when Spencer asked, "Raise your hand if you identify with the alt-right." I'd pay big money to have him speak at the Decatur Convention Center just so Joe Duty could take photographs of who shows up. Let me rethink that. I'd love to be on stage with him for a debate. I bet it would be a packed house, and I would pay Spencer to show up. I would do it for free. The Messenger could promote it: Alt-Right vs. Liberally Lean: The Thrilla on 380. How fun would that be?

I've seen two real estate crashes in my lifetime already. Off the top of my head, one was around 1991 and the other around 2004 or so. They last for an average of seven years before property values return to where they were. The "Drews" mentioned below is the SWAT team leader involved in the Waco Twin Peaks Biker case. It might be a system by system basis, but if what he said is generally true, there is about to be a big shakeup in criminal cases. (Witherspoon is a reporter covering the trial.) Did Trump provide proof yesterday that he didn't say what the Congressman claims he did say to the widow of the Green Beret? No. The U.S. Senate approved Newt Gringich's (third) wife as Ambassador to the Vatican. (Newt left his wife dying of cancer for this woman.) You simply can't make this stuff up. The party of Family Values. On the radio the other day I heard a Radney Foster reference. Haven't thought about him in years. But I've always loved his song Nobody Wins. The lyrics are so true. Every marriage counselor should make his clients print out the lyrics and make the couple read them to each other and talk about it. Very obscure music trivia: At the end of the song you hear a woman's voice for just a few seconds. It's Trisha Yearwood. Edit: A commentor says it is Mary Chapin-Carpenter. He is right. I stand corrected. There's a commercial on the radio that for some reason references Lawn Darts. I remember seeing a commercial for them when I was a kid. The next time I was reminded of them was in a Torts class in law school. Parents let there kids play with them in the 1970s. What could go wrong?

Has a degree in Soviet Studies. Fluent in Russian. Has military intelligence training. And considered one of the greatest basketball minds of all time with five NBA titles. One of the greatest moments about Popovich was when I saw him coaching his team during a timeout in the fourth quarter of a game in the playoffs. He kept saying "Pound that rock! Pound that rock!" What he means is that if you hit the same rock over and over again, no matter how hard it is, at some point you'll find its weak spot and it will split. I don't know who NBA player Gordon Hayward is but apparantly he had an ankle injury last night that was so bad that Twitter put up something I had never seen before: A "graphic warning".

The Toddler-In-Chief got mad yesterday, and you know its a bad day for him when he does it in the afternoon instead of the morning. If he didn't have Fox News, he would have no friends at all. What an odd Bridgeport reference in a Rio Grande newspaper: UNT issued an alert of a scam which should basically should have said: "Don't be a moron." The little kid in Richardson is still missing. Obviously, something is amiss. But it is unbelievable that radio folks like Mark Davis have called her dad a murderer and said he would "retract it" if he was wrong. Buddy, if you are wrong, you're bankrupt.

Trump denied it this morning and says he has proof. I'm very interested in seeing it. Former Ranger Ron Washington from back in the day. Good lord.: I glanced in on the Dodgers/Cubs game last night because Yu Darvish was pitching. (Remember I told you he would be traded to the Dodgers since I'm a Sports Genius?) Anyway, I hadn't even thought about the fact that he has to bat since he's in the National League. That's entertaining. (And he drew a heck of a bases loaded walk in that game.) If you voted for Trump and have posted a #MeToo post, you need to check yourself. You Gotta Respect That Flag And Anthem This would be gold even if the T-shirt wasn't involved.

There were reports yesterday that the UT QB was completely knocked out on the sideline and then sent back into the game a couple of plays later. A concussion could explain why he threw the ball away on fourth down. If that's true, someone on the staff needs to lose their job for endangering the kid. God help us: Someone took issue with me about how an Amazon headquarters on 287 would be great advertising because "they don't need to advertise." Really? Tell that to Coke, Coors, Home Depot, McDonalds, etc. Weatherford College has to pay back $1.4 million to the State of Texas. They worked out a payment plan and tried to get it modified but had to appear before a state board last month for approval. Here's the video. The good part is at 43:11. It might only interest a handful of people in Wise County, but they'll be very interested. The request was denied. We are now past mid-October and have no appointment of a district judge for Wise and Jack Counties. Trump saying yesterday that no past president called the families of soldiers lost in the line of duty may be his biggest lie yet. (And that is saying something.) He has still not made contact with the families of four Green Berets killed in Niger. There is nothing more entertaining (and frightening) than when Trump goes Wheels Off during a news conference. The one he called yesterday was unscheduled. Ticket fans only: During college football talk yesterday, Mike Rhyner said he didn't know if Iowa State was on OU's schedule this year. Doing payroll taxes and income taxes for my tiniest of law firm (and I hire professionals to help me) can be mind boggling just to round up the information. I don't know how big companies do it. Hey, Wise County Courthouse, it's my one and only administrative assistant's birthday today. I saw a big guy in a big truck (surprise!) speed threw a convenience store parking lot and then walk into the store right before me. He had a neck tattoo. After spending a minute looking in the aisle, he approached the clerk because he couldn't find what he was looking for: A particular type of breath mint in a particular color. "I've bought them at 7-11 before!" I wish you could have seen my face. And, by the way, he simply had overlooked them. Oh, my. It's the one at Basswood and I-35. I attend driver's license hearings all the time. The greatest part is the 10 minutes before the hearings start when a bunch of lawyers and cops are in the same room. The lawyers run their mouths and the cops sit and listen. I absolutely believe this: Cops are far more professional than this new batch of lawyers out there. In the ongoing Waco Biker Trial, the judge allowed the State to amend their witness list in the middle of trial in order to call a new witness. It's been 2.5 years. The judge might as well be a member of the DA's office.

With traffic being the nightmare that it is, what time do metroplex high school football teams leave to get on the road? For example, Denton Ryan played Lancaster earlier this year. There used to be a slots at the Bridgeport Post Office for "In Town" and "Out of Town" letters. The second episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm was funny but shocking. I laughed when the Musers of The Ticket were talking about doing errands around the house and you deal with "dirt ladder": You've got a ladder in the garden on soil which is unstable but you do it anyway. I took a heck of a spill a year ago doing that. Sports: (1) The OU/Texas game was fantastic. (2) UT quaterback Sam Ehlinger is a tremendous gamer. But throwing the ball away on 4th down with two minutes left was beyond dumb. If your coach goes for it at that point, it's a message of "if we don't get this we'll lose". And he was right."(3) The color commentator on the UT game knows as much football strategy as The Family Pup. (4) UNT had a heck of comeback win. (5) TCU had a heck of a win. How did Kenny "Thrill" turn his career around? (6) In baseball, Yasiel Puig did one of the craziest things I've ever seen in a playoff game. He took the first pitch without even taking the bat off his shoulder and just glared down the pitcher. Two pitches later he homers. (7) Somehow I watched the last 20 laps of the NASCAR race yesterday which I think took an hour because of all of the wrecks. That's entertaining? I have a great appreciation for Tallegaheda Nights after listening to the driver interviews. (8) I turned in late to the Steelers/Chiefs game which was great except for Tony Romo's over-enthusiasm. Dude, tone it done. (9) The Aaron Rogers season ending injury was a border line dirty hit. He could have pulled up. The Sheriff in Las Vegas is a Drama Queen. In a press conference on Friday he began it with "I'm obviously Sheriff Joseph Lombardo." You know the perfect place for the new Amazon headquarters? A huge piece of property just south of Rhome owned by a Bridgeport oilman. It has a picturesque view and it would be an Amazon advertisement on a busy highway. There would have to be two nice homes that are given up, but I suspect Amazon would compensate them handsomely for it. A judge has been appointed in the very rare "Court of Inquiry" about whether the Waco DA committed perjury in the Twin Peaks Biker cases. Hillary Clinton has a great marriage test in her new book: “There were times that I was deeply unsure about whether our marriage could or should survive…But on those days, I asked myself the questions that mattered to me: Do I still love him? And can I still be in this marriage without becoming unrecognizable to myself . . . ." What you say? Somehow on Sunday morning I stumbled on TV upon FBC Dallas pastor Robert Jefferess private enterpise called "Pathway to Victory." For a "generous" gift, I was told, you could get a copy of his new book. For a donation of at least $75, you could get a DVD set of the series. Snake Oil. No wonder he and Trump are best buddies. There was a police chase that went from Fort Worth to Dallas on Friday over a hot check. You kidding me? You want to potentially cause death over a hot check? You've got the license plate number and pulled up beside the person and can now ID them. AG Jeff Sessions Is Either A Liar or Senile or Inc...	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line141

Mumbai: New Zealand captain Kane Williamson considers himself "fortunate" to have played the game along side Virat Kohli, and said he has been closely following his Indian counterpart's journey from a young age. Both Williamson and Kohli featured in the 2008 ICC U19 World Cup in Malaysia, which was lifted by India and since then went on to become modern day greats of the game. "Yes, we are fortunate to play against each other. It has been great to meet at a young age and follow his (Kohli's) progress as well as his journey," Williamson said on Star Sports show 'Cricket Connected'. Infact, it was Kohli's India that beat Williamson's New Zealand in a close semifinal of the 2008 U19 World Cup, which also featured players like Ravindra Jadeja, Trent Boult and Tim Southee. Williamson, who led New Zealand to the 2019 ICC World Cup final, said he and Kohli have shared honest opinions about the game over the last few years. "It's been interesting, we've had to play against each other for a long period of time," he said. "But actually, probably over the last few years we just shared our views on the game, some honest thoughts and found some common grounds despite, perhaps, playing the game little bit differently in terms of physically and may be our on-field characters I suppose," added Williamson.

__label__cc	0.652902	0.347098	The retired CSAF and F-15C General McPeak recently published an editorial in the Wall Street Journal. He gave the standard F-15C argument that we need more F-22s, air superiority depends on it, and echoed the flag officer I witnessed address AETC student pilots who referred to our current wars as "skirmishes" and said we need to focus on enemies like China. General McPeak said: "We have forced anyone with a bone to pick with us to find an alternative to high-end, conventional war. We’ve had to invent a vocabulary for this low end: 'asymmetrical' conflict, it being another poorly understood activity. But it seems clear that in this sort of war our existence is not threatened, that we can regulate the resource input. It can be expensive in men and material, but we cannot be defeated militarily." I have to disagree with the General on the clarity he claims for asymmetrical warfare not threatening our existence. There are a number of ways that it could change our existence. Such warfare might act as the catalyst for internal strife which could change our national character as we continue to forget what makes our country great (a higher standard, lamp on the hill, the love of liberty). It can threaten us financially as we pour money and treasure into an endless pit reminiscent of that which felled the Soviet Union. The General might argue against my points stating these are further reasons why we should end these "skirmishes" and concentrate on the big industrial fish. Unfortunately there is a more direct counterpoint to the General's assertion that asymmetrical warfare cannot defeat us militarily and it involves chemical and nuclear weapons. It would be a grave mistake to minimize this difficult warfare in order to continue to train for the easy warfare at which we excel. Neal August 10, 2009 at 8:55 AM Is this the same McPeak that was a campaign co-chair for Obama 2008 and Kerry 2004? McPeak is a tool, has been for years, and most fighter guys will tell you so. PickYourBattles.Net August 10, 2009 at 3:23 PM I have heard similar comments though I've never heard any reason why the hate other than his uniform changes. What's your reasoning for the dislike other than not liking his politics? Do you agree with his F-22 commentary? Neal August 10, 2009 at 8:38 PM McPeak pretty much created the pilot "bathtub" when he cut pilot production to the bone, the ramifications of which are still being felt almost 20 years later. One can argue that members of our year group have benefitted in ways from that, but I think it's safe to say it has been a net loss for the Air Force. He was just an all-around a**hole from what I've heard. Another rumor was he said that all squadron commanders should be fighter pilots. As for his article, he makes some valid points - i.e. air superiority doesn't happen by accident and nowadays it is just taken for granted, but he could have made them a little better. Is 187 the right number of Raptors? I don't really know. From my conversations with A/A guys, it's probably too low. Was the original 370+ the right number? Probably not. Is the Raptor a failure if it is never used in combat? If your answer is yes, then has our nuclear deterrence the last 50 years been a failure as well? Trust me when I say I'm no apologist for the Raptor. I talk crap about them all the time, but if your position is it's a useless platform, then I disagree with you. How many F-22 do you think we should have? How many F-35s? Finally, I do think it is quite funny that McPeak even had to write this editorial. What exactly did he think was going to happen when he jumped on the Hope and Change train? Personally I think the F-22 sounds like a great aircraft compared to what we have but is not as good as what we could have if we invest our money in UAS technology. I agree with you that deterrence needs to be calculated in weapon effectiveness but I don't think the F-22 has deterred anything. I don't think the F-22 is useless I just think we could have something better if we save our money and invest it better. Unfortunately the F-22 is surrounded by people that pimp it with agendas other than providing America with the best air superiority option and warfighting capabilities. Even when the F-22 was first being rolled out and was competing against the YF-23 I know several people that maintain the YF-23 was a much better aircraft. One officer (fighter pilot) who was an acquisition guy at the Pentagon when the winning aircraft was announced thought the F-22 was picked partly because it just looked better aesthetically. That is according to his son who is a pilot in my squadron. I don't know how many we should have... On the one hand more is better. On the other hand, it's not better if means not funding something that could be much better or more useful. How many do we NEED? We don't need any. Our nuclear deterrence buys us leeway (in the SAC train of thought) although that leeway is not an optimum way of doing business and does stifle our capability around the world. But even without the F-22 we are not going to lose a conventional war in the U.S. though we may very well find ourselves beaten on our homeland with a thousand F-22s if we don't have the technology to defeat religious fanatics with a nuclear/chemical agenda. I'm not sure why you keep mentioning the link to Obama. Just because he has good political taste doesn't mean his argument on the F-22 is good or otherwise. There are some very good comments by various defense experts on the F-22 decision here: http://security.nationaljournal.com/2009/07/after-the-f22-vote-whats-next.php Neal August 12, 2009 at 10:14 PM Whether his argument is good or otherwise (and whether or not if you or I agree with it) pales in comparison to the sheer irony that he had to make it all. That was my point. PickYourBattles.Net August 13, 2009 at 5:27 AM I'm not trying to belabor the point but I just don't see the irony. I think you're saying that it's ironic that he allied himself with the President and the President then cut the F-22. I think you may be referencing the stereotype that "liberals" or Democrats cut defense money. But what was McPeak's alternative? Siding with Senator McCain? Senator McCain is apparently the architect of the F-22 demise in Congress and an ally with the President thankfully. Let's not forget that Secretary Gates was hired by Bush (the alternative to Kerry) and it doesn't appear his views on the F-22 changed with his new boss. It seems even Secretary Rumsfeld before him (hired by Kerry's opponent) was not big on buying many F-22s and actually wanted less than Secretary Gates ordered (if Larry Korb is to be believed in his comment from the journal link posted above). This isn't a one side versus the other issue. It's a fiscal responsibility issue versus the military industrial machine issue. Or maybe I'm just missing the irony or don't have my facts straight.	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line147
__label__wiki	0.924143	0.924143	Youths Protesting Police Violence Attack Athens Precinct Thursday, March 11th 2021, 9:47 am ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s prime minister appealed for calm Tuesday night after youths protesting an incident of police violence attacked an Athens police station with firebombs and severely injured one officer. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis issued a statement strongly condemning the violence at the march. “Blind rage leads nowhere,” Mitsotakis said. “These scenes of violence must be the last.” The violence came during a demonstration by about 5,000 people, according to a police estimate, in the southern Nea Smyrni district. Hundreds of youths threw firebombs and stones at police, who tried to repel them with water cannons, tear gas and stun grenades. At one point in the clashes, rioters pulled down a police officer riding pillion in a column of motorcycle police. Dozens rushed at him, hitting him with clubs and stones and raining blows on him. Other officers eventually succeeded in repelling the mob, and the injured police officer was taken to hospital. “It should serve as a wake-up call that the life ... of a young policeman was endangered,” Mitsotakis said. “At this point everyone must display restraint and calm.” Opposition parties also condemned the riots. Police said another two officers were injured, and 10 people were arrested on suspicion of taking part in the riots. There were no immediate reports on injured demonstrators. Rioters also caused extensive damage to parked vehicles. Before the demonstration started, police said they had confiscated quantities of firebombs destined for use by violent protesters. They said several participants in the march were armed with iron bars. The march to the Nea Smyrni police station was in reaction to an incident on Sunday during police enforcement of pandemic lockdown measures in a square in the same area. Video showed a police officer repeatedly beating with a baton a man who didn’t appear to have engaged in any threatening behavior. Police said officers had earlier been attacked by dozens of people who objected to them trying to issue fines to people who weren’t obeying lockdown restrictions. An investigation has been ordered into Sunday’s incident. These Are The Tanks Ukraine Will Get From The U.s.

__label__wiki	0.518591	0.518591	How it Feels Mourning a musician you've never met is inevitable and complicated. I can't say that I'll miss Tom Petty, the man; I never knew him. His family, friends, band mates, and musicians who've played with down the years—one in the same, at the end of the day—will miss him, and I feel awful for their grieving that begins today, and will never really end. What I and millions more are grieving is the end of a generous and supremely gifted musical career, a career that gave deep pleasures to so many in so many different ways during so many eras. Petty will never write or sing another song. That hits keenly today. I didn't pay close attention to his career from the late 1990s onward, but his songs will stay very close to me. It's always been my impression that Tom Petty was the Great Leveler. Put a handful of music fans of different stripes in a room—a Rockabilly obsessive; a garage rock hound; a Punk/New Waver; an MTV kid; an Indie Rock stalwart; a millennial streaming Classic Rock into Hip Hop back to 60s AM hits; college kids raiding their parents' music collections; drunks, stoners—and I'm pretty sure they'd agree on Tom Petty. His greatest songs were formalist gems that were so true and clear-eyed about what it meant to be alive that they cut across bias, taste, and generations, as all great popular art does. I hope that he knew this. I hope he knew how it feels. The timing of one's fandom is crucial. I was a teenager by a few months when Damn The Torpedoes came out in the fall of 1979, and his songs—the hits, especially—scored that year and the next in graphic, indelible ways. The backing vocal on "Refugee" sounded exactly like a friend's voice, the same timbre and tone; Petty and his band were familiar already. And when I'd listen to the mumbling verses in "Here Comes My Girl"—so masculine in their bitter, shrugging defenses and talky inarticulation, on guard against powerful sentiment and emotional surprise—and then the lyrical melody bloom in the chorus, Petty, moved, singing at the top of his register, the room and the song lighting up with her and her presence, I had everything laid out before me, a lot of which I'd experienced but hadn't named: crushes; love; lust, the power of intimacy; looming adulthood; surrendering; all in one song. Thanks, Tom Petty, for this song and so many others. My buddy Marty owns a cabin in West Virginia overlooking the Cacapon River. We'd fantasize about inviting Petty to hang with us for a weekend—jamming to tunes; drinking beer and smoking weed; laughing; busting on politicians and talking rock and roll; just hanging out. So many fans have adolescent fantasies like this, but with Petty we could actually picture it, see him in front of us hanging onto the deck, peering into the trees below, a half grin on his face, making some crack, the way we couldn't imagine Keef or Prince, or even Bruce. We knew, somehow, that we'd all get along, that he'd put his fame and fortune beside him and just chill. Ridiculous, I know. But his songs and low-key demeanor made the fantasy tantalizing, asked that we keep him close to us. We'll miss you, Tom. Rest in Peace.

__label__cc	0.66713	0.33287	Sitting Down in a Virtual Swamp With Colleen Itani Colleen Itani's artwork, "Apology," is featured in Saw Palm 11. What’s your connection to Florida? What most compels you about America’s Australia? I moved to Ocala, Florida (horse capital of the world) spring break of 7th grade. I remember walking into my first class, home economics, wearing a Paul Frank baby blue sweatshirt with the signature monkey on it. I also remember the class was full of goth kids and I immediately regretted my monkey shirt (Spoiler alert: I transferred schools shortly thereafter). I find it most compelling that you can drive for 8+ hours and still be in the same godforsaken humid state. Tell us a little about your piece in Saw Palm. What inspired it? "Apology" was created after reading David Foster Wallace's Octet. Octet was a welcoming read in a time of feeling displaced and unsure of how to function. I recently relocated to Tallahassee and was experiencing extreme emotional responses to my move, the piece is a playful result. What do you hope people come away from your work thinking or feeling? My earlier works stem from vulnerability. This carries through in "Apology" and continues to be a source of influence throughout my work. Lately I've been working in various ways: installation, performance, and drawing, investigating society and ownership in various spheres with attention paid to how transforming spaces can empower the feminine (specifically in relation to my own experience). Describe your artistic process. I use emotive mark making and non-linear text pieces with a desire to push boundaries through assertion; this is complimented by her candid and domestic craft, such as embroidery. I turn to poetry, essays, and other literary texts for inspiration. I love working on paper with oil pastels and the immediacy of the materials. What advice would you give to beginning artists reading this spotlight? There are so many challenges to making work (money, space, time). Take the constraints into consideration, and then figure out how to conquer them. I worked on very small drawings for years because I didn't have a studio to work in and I could store them away at night. Sometimes the challenges prompt you to think in more innovative ways (says a huge fan of dumpster diving). Document your work! And read Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland! What is the most surprising piece of art you’ve come across recently? I was just at Art Basel in Miami and found a GEM. I experienced a piece called Lily Dale, a virtual reality experience, by FLATSITTER that blew me away. I've never done any virtual reality simulations before and this was overwhelming in the best way. I felt out of my body-- there was visual, audio, and physical stimulation that transported me from South Beach to this surreal environment. The piece is about a town (Lily Dale) that believes we never die and you engage with the mediums of the town in a meditative state. Is there a certain artist whose work you find yourself returning to again and again? I can't help it-- I always return to YBA, Tracey Emin. She is an assertive and emotional artist, uses text and sewing in her work AND she married a rock. What's not to love? The “Florida Man” Twitter account curates news headlines of bizarre domestic incidents involving state residents, such as “Florida Man Fights to Keep Pizza-Loving Alligator.” If you had to write a Florida Man-style headline about yourself, what would it be? "Florida Wo-man Climbs Into Sinkhole to Save the Donuts (and Succeeds!)" Where can we find out more about you? Social media, website? @holydonut and www.colleenitani.com Colleen Itani is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the human condition. Raised in Alabama and Florida, she spent her youth despising the South (but has since come around to the palm trees). Her work addresses issues including vulnerability, feminism, and personal space. She has a BFA and BA and is currently pursuing her MFA in Tallahassee, Florida.	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line154
