Gov. Snyder signs controversial 'wolf hunt' bill
Michigan Radio | By Mark Brush
Published May 8, 2013 at 10:08 PM EDT
Nancy Warren
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signed SB 288 and 289 this afternoon. The bills pave the way for a limited wolf hunt to take place in the Upper Peninsula this fall. It also goes around a referendum aimed at stopping a wolf hunt.
Update 10:08 p.m.
The group organized around stopping a wolf hunt in Michigan released a statement saying they were "deeply disappointed" in Gov. Snyder's decision to sign SB 288.
From Keep Michigan Wolves Protected:
"Governor Snyder has betrayed the trust of Michigan voters by signing legislation that takes away their referendum right to challenge laws on animal issues. And Governor Snyder failed to defend Michigan's Constitution by allowing the democratic process and referendum vote in Nov. 2014 to be circumvented. The governor's action validates the perception that state government is broken and does not reflect the best interests of the people it is supposed to serve. This is a dark day in the history of Michigan and for people who believe in fundamental democratic principles and the humane treatment of animals. We will not give up the fight to stop wolf hunting and trapping in Michigan," said Jill Fritz, director of KMWP
Michigan Radio's Lindsey Smith just spoke with Gov. Snyder about signing these bills. In response to Smith's question about circumventing an effort to stop a wolf hunt in Michigan, Snyder said voters could challenges these bills as well.

Michigan Radio's Steve Carmody recently traveled to the Upper Peninsula to learn more about how residents there view a potential wolf hunt.
The sponsor of these bills, State Senator Tom Casperson (R-Escanaba) said residents in Ironwood, MI are living in fear of the wolves.
Carmody checked into that claim.
Tune into the Environment Report tomorrow to find out what he found.
In his first story on the Environment Report, Carmody reported the limited hunt would take place in three areas in the UP:
State wildlife officials say a hunt would kill only 43 wolves. The hunting would be restricted to places where wolf attacks on livestock, hunting dogs and household pets have been a problem.
The Michigan Farm Bureau released a statement supporting the Governor's signature.
"We welcome visitors from out of state to come enjoy the bounty of our woods and waters, but have to remain vigilant and draw a line when deep-pocketed activist groups try to tell us how to manage those resources," Park said. "It's extremely gratifying to see us taking the necessary steps to protect our rights and our identity as Michiganians."
Here's a look at how wolves have recovered in Michigan. This graph was prepared by the MDNR:

Wolf population increases in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The population from 1989 to 2011.
Gov. Snyder's office released a statement on the new law.
Legislation authorizing the state Natural Resources Commission to designate game species in Michigan was signed today by Gov. Rick Snyder. Senate Bill 288, sponsored by state Sen. Tom Casperson, gives the commission the responsibility to establish managed open season hunts for wild game and authority to regulate the taking of fish. It exempts the taking of mourning doves, pets and livestock. The Legislature maintains its ability to both add and remove species on the list. "This action helps ensure sound scientific and biological principles guide decisions about management of game in Michigan," Snyder said. "Scientifically managed hunts are essential to successful wildlife management and bolstering abundant, healthy and thriving populations." Additionally, the measure allows members of the military to obtain hunting and fishing licenses free of charge and eliminates a requirement that the military member be stationed outside of the state. Snyder also signed SB 289, sponsored by Casperson, which guarantees the legal right to hunt and fish in the state. SB 288 and SB 289 are now Public Acts 21 and 22 of 2013. Both measures are strongly supported by key wildlife conservation organizations.
In addition to SB 288, a companion bill SB 289 was also signed into law by the Governor.
SB 289 amends the with the following declaration to the state's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act.
"The legislature declares that hunting, fishing, and the taking of game are a valued part of the cultural heritage of this state and should be forever preserved. The legislature further declares that these activities play an important part in the state's economy and in the conservation, preservation, and management of the state's natural resources. Therefore, the legislature declares that the citizens of this state have a right to hunt, fish, and take game, subject to the regulations and restrictions prescribed by subsection (2) and law."
The Michigan United Conservation Clubs said this in a statement after Gov. Snyder signed the bills:
"We thank Governor Snyder for continuing Michigan's tradition of separating conservation from politics today," said Erin McDonough, executive director of Michigan United Conservation Clubs. "These bills protect the rights of hunters, anglers and trappers, and ensure that wildlife management decisions are based on the recommendations of biologists, not out-of-state anti-hunters."
Governor Rick Snyder has signed SB 288 into law. The controversial bill allows the state's Natural Resources Commission to designate game species. The bill also designates the wolf as a game species, circumventing the current effort to prevent a wolf hunt in Michigan.
This from MPRN's Rick Pluta:
Governor Rick Snyder has signed a law that will allow a wolf hunt in the Upper Peninsula. The Michigan Natural Resources Commission is expected to approve limited wolf hunts for this coming fall in the Upper Peninsula. That action -- expected tomorrow -- would circumvent the threat of a successful referendum challenge to an earlier wolf-hunting law. Critics of the new law say the governor and the commission should not try to go around the wishes of more than 255,000 voters who signed petitions to put the question on the November 2014 ballot.

THE EVIDENCES OF THE GENUINENESS OF THE GOSPELS, BY
ANDREWS NORTON. Vol. I. Boston, 1837.
Reviewed by M. Stuart, Prof. Sac. Lit. in the Theol. Seminary, Andover.
The volume, which bears the title given above, is certainly a production of no ordinary stamp, and is a phenomenon in our literary hemisphere which ought to excite much interest. Our country has hitherto been very sparing of contributions to the stock of sacred literature; at least of such as are the fruit of long and intense study, and the result of a widely extended knowledge of antiquities either sacred or profane. We have so few men who can afford to bury themselves for a long time in the closets of libraries, and so few libraries that have closets well stocked with books ; withal we are so intent upon the practical business of life-on making our fortunes, or building up a mere temporary and popular fame, or grasping at officethat we grow impatient under protracted years of effort in the acquisition of individual knowledge, and seldom endeavour to accomplish what the riper scholars of Europe are every day labouring to accomplish. And what is very discouraging to the few, who can surmount the usual obstacles, resist all temptations to acquire a mere short-lived celebrity, and consent to plough and Sow with the certain apprehension that they must Vol. XI. No. 30.
wait for the harvest until some future period which may not arrive before it is too late for them to witness its gathering in, what indeed has hitherto almost paralyzed every attempt among us at long protracted and severe literary effort, is, that when any thing of this nature has been executed, it has rarely if ever met with such success as to encourage new adventurers in the same or the like undertakings. If a book does not either entertain the mass of our public, or show them how to become richer or more thrifty in their business, or is not indispensable as a professional work, the publishers may regard themselves as unusually fortunate, in case they get off without solid loss from an edition of 750 or at most 1000 copies. This is true of almost any thoroughly literary work which can be named.
It were easy to support these allegations by appeal to particular facts; but the detail of them would be an ungrateful labour, and lead me, moreover, quite away from the execution of the more pleasant task which I have now undertaken to perform. If any reader is so sensitive to the honour of the literary character of those who dwell this side of the Atlantic, as to look with suspicion on such statements as I have made, and to call them in question, let him make trial at the office of even the most intelligent and liberal of our publishers, and see what the result of his inquiries about the publication of a work of deep and recondite literature will be. Nor can he justly blame the publishers. How can they afford to print what the American public will not patronize? And how can they be responsible for the pursuits and the taste of all their countrymen ? Mr. Norton is one of the
among us, who are placed in circumstances of literary ease and comfort. Not constrained to pursue the daily duties of an office, which he once held in the University of Cambridge, in order to provide for himself and his family, he seems to have relinquished them for the sake of a higher object—to devote himself without reserve to the pursuit of sacred literature in some of its most interesting and important branches. The work before us is the fruit of the leisure thus šecured ; and surely it bears testimony that this leisure-time has been very busily employed.
The author tells us, in his preface, that he began this work in 1819, and that he was then so much in error respecting the inquiries to which it would lead him, that he believed it might be accomplished in six months. Every tyro in literature who afterwards makes any considerable advancés, can at a later day
sympathize with such a feeling as this. He remembers the time, when he wondered that such men as have taken the lead in sacred literature or theology, should have occupied so many years in doing what seemed to bim to be feasible in the course of a few weeks, or at most of a few months. How often is the diligent scholar reminded, that the mount of science is like that of natural vision; the higher you ascend, the wider the prospect is extended. Even when we reach the summit, it is only to see that the prospect is boundless in every direction.
Mr. Norton, it seems, has been busied some eighteen years with his undertaking, instead of six months; although this is not to be understood of his first volume only which is now published, but also of two more which are yet to appear. The public cannot complain of the author, by alleging in this case that he is hasty in his performance, seeing that the "nonum prematur in annum" has been doubled in the present instance But the book in question gives evidence enough that it has not been lying idly by, during the greater part of these eighteen years. The investigations which it developes could never have been made without much time and severe labour.
It seems to have been the general persuasion of the English and American public, since the publication of the great work of Lardner on the Evidences of Christianity, and that of Paley, that little or nothing more remained to be done, in regard to the literary and archaeological part of this undertaking. Lardner seemed to have exhausted all the store houses of ancient Jewish, Heathen, or Christian testimonies to the existence and genuineness of the New Testament books; and Paley, who has added little indeed to the archaeological part of this undertaking, has thrown the whole substance into such a compact, tangible, intelligible form, employed such skill and address in his reasoning, and so admirably adapted the whole to popular ends, at least for the instruction of the greater part of the well-informed community, that there did not seem to be any call for further effort in regard to this part of Christian Apologetics. In addition to this it should also be remarked, that within the last half century very few infidel works have appeared in the English language, which had any claim to literary pretensions, or which needed any refutation from a knowledge of antiquity. They have been little else than a repetition of the stale criticisms and jeers of Voltaire, La Mettrie, Paine, and a few others of the like class; and whatever show of argument has been exhibited, it has been mostly of the a priori kind, either assuming that the attributes of God are utterly inconsistent with the doctrines and narratives of the Bible, or else that we are equally destitute of evidence both in respect to the being and attributes of God and the truth of the Scriptures.
After all the learning and ability, however, that Lardner and Paley have shewn in England in relation to the subject before us, or Schmidt, Kleuker, or Less have exbibited on the Continent of Europe, there has sprung up, within the last generation, a new reason for further effort, such as Mr. Norton has made. Novus seclôrum incipit ordo; but in a very different sense, no doubt, from that which the poet meant to convey. Semler
, Eckermann, Eichhorn, Paulus, Gabler, Henke, and many others of the like stamp, in Germany, have, in one way and another, assailed the general and settled belief of the Christian church at large, in respect to the genuineness and authenticity of the New Testament Scriptures, from quarters that were unexpected, and in a manner which for a while was perplexing and somewhat disheartening to the most strenuous defenders of the older and long established sentiments of Christians in general.
Neology in Germany has indeed had, for a while, apparently a prosperous run and propitious gales. The time was, and for more than one decemium too, when there was not more than one solitary magazine in all Germany, of any great literary pretensions, which maintained both the genuineness and the authenticity of the sacred books. This was the highly respectable Magazin of Storr, Flatt, and others, at Tübingen. Now and then a solitary voice was heard, in defence of the Old Testament or of the New, like that of Jahn, or in some respects
of Hug, and of a few writers of smaller treatises. How greatly are those times changed ! A predominant party in literature are plainly rising up, at present, who believe and maintain for substance the long established doctrines of the Christian churches in relation to these topics. Another day, I fully believe a better one, is dawning once more on the churches of the Continent.
Widely diffused as German literature is beginning to be in this country and in England, it is unwise, indeed it is impossible, for us to remain idle spectators of the great contest which has been and still is going on. If those who believe in and wish to defend either the genuineness, or the authenticity, or both, of the Old Testament and the New, choose to slumber on their
post, and let neological views have their course without any effort to check or regulate them, they may be assured that in the end this country will see a revolution not unlike, in many respects, to that in Germany. There is no small part of our community, after all that we say and may justly say about the prevalence of Christian faith among us, who would be glad of an opportunity fairly to escape from the obligation which the Bible imposes upon their consciences. They have been so educated, however, that they cannot do this by embracing at once, and in their revolting and blasphemous forms, the sentiments of a Paine, a Godwin, a Taylor (of London), or of a much more insignificant class still-an Owen, a Fanny Wright, or an Abner Kneeland. The gulf is too wide, deep, and foul, to be inviting to them. But if some writer like Eichhorn should rise
up among us, who to all the charms of genius and taste should add a widely diffused knowledge of classical and sacred learning, and who should attack the genuineness of the sacred writings on grounds of archaeological history and criticism ; in a word, if any one should by his talents and learning contribute to make the cause of skepticism respectable among the well informed classes of society ; I doubt not that sooner or later we should have a large neological party in our country. I ask every sober and enlightened man, who is well acquainted with the state of feeling among men of the world, whether irreligion, or skepticism, if once made respectable by an appearance of learned investigation and great talents, would not be gratefully accepted by many, in order to get rid of the burden that now lies on their consciences, in consequence of their education, or of the influence of the circles of friends in which they now move.
For my own part, I cannot doubt of this. Of course I cannot doubt the expediency of preparing for the great contest which must ensue, if once the views of Neologists shall become
I would not anticipate these, and diffuse them prematurely. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof. It is not good policy, rather, I would say, it is not sound prudence, to fill the ears of the community with reports of danger coming upon the cause of truth, which is new, unexpected, and of a highly threatening character. A general need not proclaim in glowing language to his army, on the eve of contest,
with whom they are to combat, and thus send them into the field half-conquered before the
power of the enemy
current among us.

Feature Interviews
RMR: Behind the Mask
Amanda Meyer September 29, 2021 Tagged Amanda Meyer, Gov Ball, Governors Ball, Interview, rmr
Meet RMR – pronounced Rumor – a 20-something year old rapper who is changing up the game by bringing country roots and alternative sounds to his music. Hearing "Rascal" for the first time, which is an interpolated version of Rascal Flatts' "Bless the Broken Road," we instantly needed to hear more. Something about RMR is so unique and drags you in. Music aside, the man behind the music is mysterious. Upon first glance, RMR is wearing a decked out ski mask with grills, and all you can see is his big, bold eyes. With this catchy music and peculiar look, there's no way you can ignore him.
Fortunately, RMR was at The Governors Ball Music Festival in NYC this past weekend and I had the chance to pick his brain, all while Billie Eilish interrupts. Walking up to RMR, he greets you with a big smile – with grills in, of course – and immediately introduces himself and asks for your name. You can tell he wants to talk to you and isn't being forced into doing generic press.
RMR's music is different than what is going around in hip hop right now. It sounds as if he starts off with a hip rap base blended with country twang. "My sound is well-rounded. It's the sound of the world [laughs]. I make music from inspiration and that – whoa Billie Eilish is on [crowd screaming], that's a crowd!" He continues, "different walks of life and different scenarios, that I, myself, have been through and others have also been through, that I've witnessed."
With his sound being diverse, that also brings a broad list of inspirations. When asked about what and who inspires this, RMR said, "Everyone! Everyone inspires me. Every artist thats had a footprint in this century has inspired me. I listen to a whole variety of different things, so that inspires me."
The eclectic rapped released his debut EP Drug Dealing is a Lost Art in the beginning of summer 2020 and has released numerous singles since, but he isn't done anytime soon. His debut album will be out sometime in the 4th quarter. RMR felt eager to share the current publicly unknown title of the album but held back. He assured us though, a single will be dropping pretty soon. He's collaborated with so many artists, such as Future, Tyla Yaweh and Young Thug, so we're excited to see who will be on his album. In the meantime, RMR's wishlist consists of Michael Jackson and Michael Jackson only.
Considering RMR went viral overnight right when the pandemic began, the must-ask question was – what has it actually been like on his end? To blow up, while being stuck inside, is an interesting and unusual way to make it in the industry. "Oh ya know, besides the pandemic, and people being sick and dying, that's obviously not good. I feel like the world has changed, and maybe it has changed for the better. Maybe, you know, obviously this is headed in a certain direction where it's safer for us and we'll see what that is. As an artist, there's more thinking. There's more sitting down. A lot of people, I feel like, got to know who they were, ya know, and it wasn't in such a rush. It's great."
You might not know RMR yet, but you're about to. With country rap becoming more prevalent, RMR will be at the forefront of it all. Aside from his long-overdue debut album, he has a lot up next. "I want to tour. I want to see the world. I want to see all the Rascals out there – fanbase. I want to see things I've never seen. I want to grow. I want to change, ya know. I want growth." It's never too late to become a Rascal.

Hearing on winding up Mallya's holding firm adjourned till April 11
March 25, 2016 by neha
Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Thursday adjourned the final hearing to April 11 on winding up petitions against United Breweries Holdings Ltd. (UBHL) of liquor baron Vijya Mallya for defaulting on loans to its defunct Kingfisher Airlines.
"Justice Arvind Kumar adjourned the case to April 11, as arguments on both sides could not be completed for want of time," a counsel, who appeared for the creditors, told reporters.
Creditors like French bank BNP Paribas and State Bank of India, lessors such as Rolls Royce and International Aero Engines and state-run oil marketing firm HPCL had jointly filed petitions in the high court in November 2013 after the cash-strapped airline and its holding firm UBHL failed to repay dues worth Rs.600 crore.
When the Paribas counsel appealed to the judge for giving priority to its petition as it was the first aggrieved party to approach the court in November 2012 for relief, Justice Arvind Kumar said justice would be done to all the petitioners as they were same in the eyes of law.
As the group's flagship company, the Mallya-controlled UBHL has equity stakes in United Breweries Ltd (UBL), the country's largest beer producer, and United Spirits Ltd., the country's largest liquor maker, now controlled by the British Diageo plc.
Though Mallya lost control over United Spirits Ltd., he still has controlling state (52.34 percent) in the holding firm, which was funding the grounded airline.
According to the Paribas counsel, the holding company borrowed $26.63 million from the French bank to purchase three aircraft for its airline but failed to repay the principal amount as well as interest on it.
"We have petitioned the court to order winding up the holding company as it failed to honour corporate guarantees it gave on behalf of the airline," the bank counsel said.
UBHL's employees, however, opposed winding it up as it would render them jobless and affect the group's other companies, including the profit-making UB Ltd.
A consortium of 17 state-run and private banks, led by the SBI, on March 8 moved the Supreme Court after it failed to get relief from the Karnataka High Court and the debt recovery tribunal against defaulter Mallya and his airline, which owns a whopping Rs.9,000-crore debt, including compound interest.
The apex court on March 9 served notice to Mallya and posted the case for hearing to March 30, although he left the country on March 2 and is learnt to be staying in London.

Last night, Spurs' title challenge ended with an underwhelming 1-1 draw against a West Bromwich Albion side that had looked so mediocre the following week against north London rivals, Arsenal.
The two main talking points of the game were, of course, Leicester City being three points away from the Premier League crown. However, the above footage of Dele Alli punching – there's really no need to say 'appearing to' – West Brom's, Claudio Yacob, has tinged the Lilywhites midfielder's PFA Young Player of the Year award.

…there's been an underlying and nagging concern that the England international has a short fuse and can be targeted by opposition players.
During Spurs' Europa League campaign earlier in the season, the 20-year-old, again, assaulted a fellow player in a cowardly way. This time, it was Fiorentina's, Nemad Tomovic on the receiving end.
Credit to Alli, though, he does demonstrate the cliche British mentality when it comes to having a fight. No Brit really wants a heated exchange, let alone a fight, however, there are a few times where the good ol' people of the United Kingdom pretend that they do.
In order to pull off the perfect 'I want a fight but I don't really' situation, you must make sure you have your friends nearby to say things such as: "Leave it, mate; he ain't worth it.". Next, due to having the safety net of your pals, you must continue to act like you're looking for some aggro, despite knowing full well you aren't getting past your friends and towards your (un)intended target.
Be aware, though, if your timing is out, then you will end up in a situation like Tottenham Hotspur's Dele Alli and looking like a complete and utter cowardly pussy.


Red Devils set to score another late winner
Popular British football (soccer) team Manchester United announced Monday that it hopes to earn over $300 million in its proposed IPO on Wall Street. The team will put $16.7 million on market, $8.3 million in public shares and $8.3 million belonging to the club owner, American businessman Malcolm Glazer. The shares will be sold at $16 and $20, raising a target amount of around $300.6 million. Taking into account the 2.5 million additional shares that may be offered through overallotment options and the maximum price per share, the team could stand to raise up to $383 million. The opening date for the public offering, initially announced in July, has not yet been set. The club had renounced its previous initial public offering, slated for the Singapore market, in a region where there is an abundance of liquidity and a strong fan base. Among the most popular teams in the world, Manchester United posted a profit of $19.7 million in 2011, with total revenues at $518.5 million.

What Do We Know About HBO's Adaptation Of 'Sharp Objects'?
By Hannah Sole | TV | April 16, 2018 |
After the success of 2014's Oscar-nominated Gone Girl and the uh, existence of 2015's less successful Dark Places, Gillian Flynn's novel Sharp Objects seemed to be the odd one out, stuck waiting in the wings for its time to shine. But it hasn't had to wait too long. Originally planned to be adapted as a feature film back in 2014, executive producer Marti Noxon pitched it as an 8-part series instead, which HBO ordered in 2016. Filming started last month.
Noxon, the executive producer for seasons 6 and 7 of Buffy, was definitely on to something pitching for TV rather than film. The novel has a lot going on, and the plot gradually unravels via slow reveals. Trying to condense the events of the novel into a feature film would be a challenge in terms of pacing. Giving the story space to develop should keep that all-important tension and mystery simmering. But managing the twists and turns of the plot is not the only challenge that Noxon is facing as showrunner.
I loved the novel, but my goodness, it's bleak. It's really unpleasant. Some of it is nigh on unfilmable. I know audiences are fairly primed for bleak and unpleasant at the moment (I'm looking at you, The Handmaid's Tale) but this one really goes for it.
The premise doesn't sound too far away from a grisly procedural: Camille, a reporter (Amy Adams), returns home to cover some violent murders, and has to confront some trauma from her past. So far, so predictable. But the novel's starting point is murdered and mutilated pre-teen girls, being reported on by a young woman whose body bears the scars of truly elaborate self-harm. "A child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort," she says. From there, it's a twisting journey through horrific child abuse, underage sex, some highly questionable sex decisions from the adults, and other things that I won't name here for the sake of spoilers. The plot goes where you don't want it to go. And it keeps on going. If you thought Gone Girl's ending was bleak, this one goes way past that.
The most unfilmable part? Camille's little sister, Amma. Book Amma is 13 years old. Babied by her mother, who treats her like a little doll, Amma is a troubled, deeply cynical and precocious Mean Girl who gets high and naked a lot. When she isn't terrifying, she's deeply worrying.
"Sometimes if you let people do things to you, you're really doing it to them," Amma said, pulling out another Blow Pop from her pocket. Cherry. "Know what I mean? If someone wants to do fucked-up things to you, and you let them, you're making them more fucked up. Then you have the control. As long as you don't go crazy."
Australian soap star Eliza Scanlen has been cast as Amma; Scanlen is 19 so presumably they have aged up the character to make some of Amma's behaviour a little less shocking. It's a sensible choice in terms of the practicality of filming and recognition of how much audiences will stomach. Similar choices were made in adapting Game of Thrones; here though, one wonders how an older Amma will change the tone of the events that play out.
Camille and Amma's mother, Adora, (sadly not a Princess of Power) is played by Patricia Clarkson, who seems perfect for a role that calls for a will of iron and unhinged menace cloaked in fuzzy, superficial fragility. "Some women aren't meant to be mothers," we're warned. Highly strung, melodramatic, keen to portray herself as a martyr, Adora is a woman who makes grief a "hobby" that she will not be "distracted from"; "Every tragedy in the world happens to my mother." Here's an example of Adora's psychotic viciousness, shown via flashback in the novel:
"My mother had a cluster of friends over for afternoon drinks. One of them brought a baby. For hours, the child was cooed over, smothered with red-lipstick kisses, tidied up with tissues, then lipstick smacked again. I was supposed to be reading in my room, but I sat at the top of the stairs watching.
My mother finally was handed the baby, and she cuddled it ferociously. Oh, how wonderful it is to hold a baby again! Adora jiggled it on her knee, walked it around the rooms, whispered to it, and I looked down from above like a spiteful little god, the back of my hand placed against my face, imagining how it felt to be cheek to cheek with my mother.
When the ladies went into the kitchen to help tidy up the dishes, something changed. I remember my mother, alone in the living room, staring at the baby almost lasciviously. She pressed her lips hard against the baby's apple slice of a cheek. Then she opened her mouth just slightly, took a tiny bit of flesh between her teeth, and gave it a little bite.
The baby wailed. The blotch faded as Adora snuggled the child, and told the other women it was just being fussy."
Just a casual bit of baby biting there. Did I mention this was unpleasant? In case you are running for the hills, the novel's unpleasantness is purposeful rather than just provocative for the sake of it. It's more 'psychopaths in suburbia' than gratuitous horror. If that helps at all.
The show also stars Elizabeth Perkins (Weeds), Henry Czerny (Quantico, Revenge), Matt Craven (Justified) and Chris Messina (The Mindy Project). The first screening will be at the ATX Television Festival in Austin on June 7.
I'm curious to see if Noxon has made significant changes to the plot or whether she'll try to make it a little less bleak in its resolution. Flynn is co-writing the adaptation with Noxon; whether that means it's more or less likely to stay fairly faithful to the novel is unclear. Either way, this is definitely one to watch out for.
Be mindful of spoilers in the comments!

Did Obama Just Set Off Gog and Magog?
By Dr. Rivkah Lambert Adler January 2, 2017 , 11:30 am
"And it shall come to pass in that day that I will make Yerushalayim a stone of burden for all the peoples; all that burden themselves with it shall be sore wounded; and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it." Zechariah 12:3 (The Israel Bible™)
(Breaking Israel News)
Redemption advocate Eli Soble connected the US abstention from the latest anti-Israel vote in the UN Security Council to the advent of the great war of Messianic days in a video that has gone viral since its release on Facebook on December 26.
In this video which has been viewed more than 26,000 times, Soble asserts that it's "a sign of redemption, a sign that Moshiach is close" that the nations are trying to take Jerusalem and Israel away from the Jewish people.
Eli Soble describes his view of Obama and the UNSC vote in video that went viral on December 26. (Video screenshot)
"The great Jewish prophecy of Gog and Magog is…the last great barrier before we reach redemption, and it's appearing, it's materializing, right before our eyes,"Soble announced.
He mentioned a recent news article in Reuters about the upcoming Middle East peace conference scheduled for January 15 in France. Reuters stated that France will call together "some 70 countries" in Paris to discuss the situation in Israel. Soble explained that the Torah considers the phrase "70 nations" to symbolize all the nations of the world, even if the actual number exceeds 70.
Soble retold the Jewish teaching that Sennacherib was supposed to be Gog when he came against Jerusalem in the time of King Hezekiah. He called Sennacherib an avowed atheist and narcissist. Without actually pointing a finger directly, Soble made the point that President Obama's recent move in the UN Security Council echoes the narcissistic flaw of Sennacherib.
The connection between Gog and Obama was made more directly in November 2015. Breaking Israel News published a viral news story about a 15 year-old Israeli boy named Natan who had a near-death experience. In a video interview, Natan, a previously secular student, returned from his experience quoting Biblical prophecy regarding the End of Days. In that video, Natan clearly named President Obama as Gog.
15-year-old Israeli youth Natan recounting his near death experience with Rabbi Rami Levy (right) in this video screenshot.
Natan described his vision of Gog and Magog. "It's going to be something that is called a very big war. And everybody – the whole world – will be involved in that war.. Everybody! All the goyim (nations), all the Arabs, everyone will come against the nation of Israel and will fight in that war.
"The person who will start the war will be somebody named Gog… I am certain of who it is. Obama. President Obama. He will be the one who starts that war."
In his video about current events signaling the start of the war of Gog and Magog, Soble quoted the Lubavitcher Rebbe, arguably the most influential rabbi of the 20th century, who told us what to look for. "How do we know when it's materializing? We're going to see that there's going to be military conflict all around Israel but it's not going to touch Israel and it's not going to touch Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)."
According to Soble, the Lubavitcher Rebbe also said that Psalm 2 is speaking about the war of Gog and Magog at the end of days.
Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain? Psalms 2:1
As Soble described it, "the nations will come up with a plan to take Eretz Yisrael (Israel) and Hashem (God) will thwart their plans and it will lead to the revelation of Moshiach (Messiah)."
Soble encouraged his viewers to understand that this UN vote, and the upcoming meeting in France, are part of the messianic process and not to be fooled into thinking they are purely political maneuvers.
He ends on an upbeat note, by reminding people that "Moshiach is very close, the redemption is very close. We have to take heart and be joyous and improve ourselves as much as we can… and add in goodness and kindness in the context of Moshiach."
The video was part of an effort that Soble runs on his Facebook page "Visualizing Moshiach and Geula (redemption)". The page, which was started in September 2016, provides a forum for him and others to post brief videos with positive messages about the forthcoming redemption.
About that effort, Soble told Breaking Israel News, "I believe it's very important for us to express our voices cooperatively, together, about Moshiach and geula in a positive way. It helps us raise our own and the collective Jewish consciousness. This is one of the greatest tools we have to bring Moshiach and geula with the utmost chesed (lovingkindness) [and] to meet Hashem (God) in geula in the most prepared and upright fashion."

London Brewery Has Found A Way To Annoy You With The Sun
By Ian Morris on at
British people, lovers of beer and too much exposure to a sun their weak complexion struggles to handle. So what better way to burden the NHS with more dehydration and sunstroke problems than a gigantic mirror, designed to shine light into the eyes of punters sucking down £6 pints in pub gardens.
The brewery in question is Meantime, and its "smart mirror" is a computer-controlled disc of idiocy that redirects the sun's rays into a shady corner, giving people who like shade literally no place to hide from the oppressive sun. Except inside, which probably feels like an oven right now.
Somehow conflating "light" with "heat" the Meantime "smart" mirror aims to make it so gardens are full of light, and ensure that people are forced to wear sunglasses for fear that their retinas will be scorched out by reflected sunlight. All we need now is some joker to fit some sort of lens in front of it and we'll have the world's first brewery-sponsored death ray.
Here's a video of this nonsense in action.
It may seem overly harsh, but this is the sort of press release that turns up every so often claiming to have some sort of news value, but in reality is a vain attempt to gather up some free-publicity. Still, somehow it worked because here stands an article about a mirror that you'll never actually see, and if you did you'd immediately leave to find a pub that didn't have one installed.
If you want to satiate your curiosity though, it's at The Sun in Clapham today and tomorrow. Provided you haven't got a job to go to, and can handle toxic air hovering around the 32 degree mark. If you do have a chance to go, make sure you buy a pint of Meantime to help fund next year's laser-based deathray.

Heidegger and the Measure of Truth
Denis McManus
学術・一般書 > 哲学および心理学 > Metaphysics > Ontology
Denis McManus presents a new interpretation of Martin Heidegger's early vision of our subjectivity and of the world we inhabit. Heidegger's 'fundamental ontology' allows us to understand the creature that thinks as also one which acts, moves, even touches the world around it, a creature at home in the same ordinary world in which we too live our lives when outside of the philosophical closet; it also promises to free us from seemingly intractable philosophical problems, such as scepticism about the external world and other minds. But many of the concepts central to that vision are elusive; and some of the most widely accepted interpretations of Heidegger's vision harbour within themselves deep and important unclarities, while others foist upon us hopeless species of idealism. Heidegger and the Measure of Truth offers a new way of understanding that vision. Drawing on an examination of Heidegger's work throughout the 1920s, McManus takes as central to that vision the proposals that propositional thought presupposes a mastery of what might be called a 'measure', and that mastery of such a 'measure' requires a recognizably 'worldly' subject. These insights provide the basis for a novel reading of key elements of Heidegger's 'fundamental ontology', including his concept of 'Being-in-the-world', his critique of scepticism, his claim to disavow both realism and idealism, and his difficult reflections on the nature of truth, science, authenticity and philosophy itself. According to this interpretation, Heidegger's central claims identify genuine demands that we must meet if we are to achieve the feat of thinking determinate thoughts about the world around us.
Denis McManus studied philosophy at Oxford, Cambridge, and Harvard, and is Reader in Philosophy at the University of Southampton. His research concentrates on the work of Martin Heidegger and Ludwig Wittgenstein. He is the author of The Enchantment of Words: Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (OUP 2006) and editor of Wittgenstein and Scepticism (Routledge, 2004).

Don't promote other economic trees at shea's expense - Lecturer
Tamale, March 29, GNA - A Senior Lecturer at the University of Development Studies (UDS) has expressed concern over the rate at which shea trees are being destroyed to make land available for the cultivation of other economic trees such as cashew and mango.
Dr Joshua Adam Yidana, who expressed the concern, warned that if measures were not taken to check the practice, a time would come when the country would not be able to meet international demand for shea butter.
Dr Yidana was speaking at a one-day inter-regional conference on the development of the shea industry in Northern Ghana in Tamale on Wednesday.
The Tung-Teiya Shea Butter Extraction Women's Association (TUSEWA), a local NGO, organised the forum on the theme: "Moving the shea butter industry forward: Prospects and challenges." The Business Sector Advocacy Challenge (BUSAC) Fund sponsored the event.
The conference brought together stakeholders in the shea industry from the Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions to brainstorm to promote the development of the industry in Northern Ghana.
Dr Yidana said the country had a total population of 94 million shea trees, which produced about 150 tonnes of shea butter. Sixty per cent of the shea butter produced is used internally while 25 per cent is exported.
He said more than 2.5 million tonnes of shea kernel produced worldwide were used for the production of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and confectionery and edible fats.
He said unlike cocoa and other products, which had synthetic substitutes the shea nut tree had no substitute adding that consumers now preferred organic or natural products.
Alhaji Abubakar Saddique Boniface, Northern Regional Minister in a speech read for him, acknowledged the economic importance of the shea tree in the lives of rural women and emphasised the determination of government to provide support for the growth of the shea industry in Northern Ghana.
He appealed to traditional rulers to take pragmatic measures to protect the trees from bushfires and indiscriminate felling. The Regional Minister called on civil society organisations and other development partners to collaborate with the government to use the development of the shea resource as a means for poverty reduction in Northern Ghana.
Dr David Mensah, Director of Northern Empowerment Association, an NGO, called for the establishment of refineries to process the shea nuts for export to earn foreign exchange for the country and create jobs for the people.
He appealed to the government to give a fixed price for every bag of shea nut as it was done to cocoa to save the rural women from being cheated by market women who virtually bought the shea nuts "at give away prices".
Madam Stella Nitori Chairperson of TUSEWA noted that if the shea industry was promoted and well developed, it would accelerate economic growth and help reduce poverty in the rural communities.
She said BUSAC in collaboration with other organisations was undertaking an advocacy action plan to gather information and ideas to influence government to come out with pragmatic policies and initiatives for the development of the shea industry to secure good market for its members.
The action plan would also involve the training of members in quality control of their products.


Growing fruits and vegetables at an average summer temperature of 45°C
Saudi Arabia is hot and dry. Difficult conditions for growing fruits or vegetables, but not impossible. Farmers and growers in the country would therefore be greatly helped with knowledge about watering, fertilization and crop protection. That is why the Greenhouse Horticulture Business Unit at Wageningen University & Research is contributing to the setup of demonstration plots spread around the kingdom.
Saudi Arabia is best known for the cultivation of date palms. But many more crops are grown- vegetables, cereals, fodder and fruits - in plastic greenhouses and in open field. However, the productivity of those crops is low. This is primarily due to the lack in the latest knowledge about irrigation, fertilisation and crop protection. The scarcity and salinity of irrigation water is not helping either. In addition, it is hot in Saudi Arabia: the average summer temperature is 45 °C, which is stressing for crops.
Using demonstration plots
Together with King Faisal University, WUR Greenhouse Horticulture is developing a training program for farmers and growers in Saudi Arabia. Demonstration plots play a central role in this. Among other things, it shows how Integrated Pest Management works. Farmers and growers therefore see how a balanced use of chemical agents, natural enemies and traps help to combat pests and diseases. Special attention will also be paid to irrigation and fertilisation. In this way, farmers and growers see how they can improve their quality and yield per unit of irrigation water.
There will be around 100 demonstration plots. The farmers and growers are being approached by King Faisal University with support from WUR Greenhouse Horticulture and the cooperation of the Ministry of Environment, Water & Agriculture of Saudi Arabia, which is also financing the project.
Do you have a question about growing fruits and vegetables in a hot and dry climate? Ask our expert: R (Rached) Moalla PhD
Our greenhouse horticulture experts engage internationally in local research, adaptive greenhouse design, and capacity building. We work worldwide: in Europe, the Middle East as well as in developing regions such as in Africa and Asia.

Case of Former Maine Officer Accused of Club Disturbance Settled
Published at 9:33 am on June 20, 2018
WCSH-TV
A Massachusetts judge has ruled charges against a former Portland police officer will be dismissed in three months if she stays out of trouble.
Twenty-five-year-old Zahra Abu was charged at a Jan. 13 Ja Rule concert in Worcester after police say she became unruly and refused to leave the premises. The Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports Abu, Portland's first Somali police officer, resigned last week before an internal affairs investigation was completed.
The judge ruled Tuesday that he found sufficient facts for guilty findings, but continued the charges for three months and placed Abu on administrative probation. The charges will be dismissed Sept. 25 if she has no further difficulties with the law.
Abu could not be reached at the Portland address listed for her in Massachusetts court records.


TRC Weighs in on the Latest Stephen Garcia News
The Rubber Chickens Uncategorized March 4, 2011 July 24, 2011 4 Minutes
As you have probably already seen, a report has surfaced that alleges there was good reason for Stephen Garcia's three-interception performance during the December 31 Chick-fil-a Bowl. The late night scene in Garcia's Atlanta hotel room apparently involved heavy drinking, and as many as FIVE women, two of whom may or may not have been clothed. We here at TRC are yet to solidify our public response, so here is where we are on the discussion at present:
Buck says – POINT – If the allegations are anywhere close to being true, the third strike for #5 just crossed the plate. Eric Hyman and Steve Spurrier need to stand together and send the message that this type of behavior will not be tolerated – AGAIN – and dismiss Garcia from the team. Running on a treadmill with a hangover is not punishment enough.
You are all familiar with the rocky path that has been the career of Stephen Garcia – the vandalism and underage drinking that led to arrests. How much is too much? After what he has been through, how could he make the conscious decision to do something like this before one of the most important games in recent memory? At what point do you stop waiting for someone to mature?
The upcoming football season has the potential to be the greatest in school history, but Stephen Garcia should not be a part of it. One football player should not be allowed to sully the good name of our beloved university the way he has done. Adios, Mr. Garcia.
Tbone says – COUNTERPOINT�- Let's see, a starting quarterback for an SEC team is caught in a hotel room in the ATL with a bottle of booze and five women (two of which were reportedly naked). So, what's wrong with this picture? I'll tell you what's wrong – what's wrong is the three other women.
They were in the hotel room with Stephen Achilles Garcia for cryin' out loud. He was in the hotel room because he just led his team to a 9-win season in the toughest conference in organized sport. The boy earned a little celebratory revelry.
What's that? Such a debache is inappropriate on the eve of a Big Game, you say? I would be the first to agree with you-if it were a Big Game. No one is alleging that Garcia was with the "Marriott Five"on the eve of the SEC Championship. That would be different, and would betray a complete lack of focus and commitment from our leader.
But the Chicken Nugget Bowl? Who cares. Only two things can happen in the Chicken Nugget Bowl, and both of them are bad. You could lose the game, which counts on your final record I guess, but even worse, you could actually win the thing, and thereby run the risk of seeing a victory over an also-ran team from an also-ran conference as evidence of SEC-level superiority.
Hubris like that will get you beat. But a few girls and a bucket of barley-pops on the eve of kickoff shows you aren't about to give in to that sort of hype. Good on you, Achilles.
Buck says – POINT– Seriously? Not a big game? We have won ten games once in our history. Getting to that tenth win on New Year's Eve would have put Garcia in rarified air that neither Todd Ellis nor Steve Taneyhill even sniffed. So it wasn't a BCS game, but it was a big game for USC and for our program. He could've waited one more day to get hammered and skank it up.
Tbone says – COUNTERPOINT�- I've got news for you: Garcia was up in the thin air the minute the clock hit triple zeros in the 'Bama game. If not then, then he soared up above the others about the time the Gatorade hit the HBC in the Swamp. He's probably going to finish behind Todd in career passing stats, but he's gonna have championship hardware in our trophy case forever. For that fact alone Garcia, warts and all, is a net gain for SC.
Oh, and I've got other news for you: If five women knocked on your hotel room door (and you were SINGLE, of course) with a bunch of booze and stars in their eyes . . . well, I think we all know what we would all do.
Buck says – POINT�- First of all, if five women knocked on your door with a bunch of booze and stars in their eyes, you'd need to tell them they have the wrong room and point them to the Buckster's suite. And at that point I'd pass out rain checks for the following evening after my 300-yard, 4 TD performance. Then we'd have a party. That's why I'm the conscience of this blog, because I'm a big picture guy and I want more "hardware" than an SEC East trophy in a down year.
Tbone says – COUNTERPOINT – The "Buckster Suite"? Is that a pet name you've given to the all-you-can-eat buffet at Ryan's? Might wanna mix in a salad every now and then, big guy. And SEC East was in a "down year?" You wanna know why this was a "down year" for the East? 'Cause Achilles had his way with the three big boys (Uga, UT, & FL) before he did the same with those ladies. You're just jealous because he's got tiger blood and Adonis DNA, while you've stuck with possum blood and the genes of Cletus the Slack-Jawed-Yokel.
Buck says – POINT– That's awfully tough talk from a girl-armed hillbilly lawyer that thinks an Oklahoma drill is a dress rehearsal for a musical. Go knit another sweater, d-bag.
Tbone says – COUNTERPOINT – We're not talking about an Oklahoma drill – we are talking about an Atlanta drill (or two).� And I'm not "girl-armed"; I'm lithe. No risk of you ever being described that way, lard-ass.

Artur Pizarro "The Complete Works of Ravel Vol. 2" SACD
The second disc in this talented pianist's acclaimed Ravel series, Volume Two contains some of Ravel's most cherished piano works.
The widespread acclaim which met the release of Artur Pizarro's first volume of Ravel ensured that the popular pianist would be back to record Vol. 2. 'Phenomenal', 'scintillating' and 'super-refined' were just some of the superlatives used to describe Pizarro's performance. The Complete Works of Ravel Vol. 2 surpasses the incredibly high standards set by Vol. 1 as Pizarro reaches new heights with an outstanding performance.
Pavane pour une Infante défunte, one of Ravel's most popular pieces, is played beautifully in its original piano version. The suite Le tombeau de Couperin pays homage to French music of the eighteenth century whose premiere elicited a warm and enthusiastic reception, a response which continues to this day. Valse nobles et sentimentales is highly stylised and harmonically complex, and is considered of seminal importance for Ravel's future writing. Ravel himself considered the Sonatine too advanced for his supreme pianistic skills. Pizarro's virtuosity is apparent in his notable performance.

Economic Justice Education Taxation Washington State Politics
Why We Need To Restore Tax Fairness to Restore School Funding
Posted on April 7, 2015 Author DavidSpring Comments Off on Why We Need To Restore Tax Fairness to Restore School Funding
Recently, both the House and Senate have proposed "band-aid" budgets that ignore a direct order from the Washington Supreme Court to fully fund public schools. Both budgets also ignore the will of the voters to lower class sizes. Both budgets continue to give away billions in tax breaks to billionaires while depriving our state's one million school children of their constitutionally guaranteed right to an adequate education. Washington state used to be 11th in the nation in school funding. Today, Washington is $4,000 per child or $4 billion per year BELOW the national average in school funding. As a consequence, our children are forced to endure some of the lowest funded and most over-crowded schools in the nation.
There is another option. Senate Bill 6093, the School Funding Through Tax Fairness Act, sponsored by Senators Chase and McAuliffe, would provide an additional $4 billion per year to restore school funding and lower class sizes in our state to the national average by repealing a single 1997 tax exemption used by the wealthy to avoid paying their fair share of state taxes.
Comparing Senate Bill 6093 to the House and Senate Band-aid Budgets
Here is a table comparing Senate Bill 6093 to the House and Senate Band-aid Budgets.
Senate Bill 6093, the School Funding Through Tax Fairness Act is a simple solution to the school funding crisis in Washington state which raises billions in state revenue without raising the tax burden on working class families. This report will show that the underlying cause of our state's school funding crisis is the lack of fairness in our state tax structure. In fact, the reason our state has among the lowest school funding in the nation is that Washington also has the most unfair tax structure in the nation. While the poor and middle class pay much more than the national average in state taxes, our wealthy pay far less than the national average. The only way to have adequate school funding is to insist on having a fairer tax structure by requiring the wealthy to pay their fair share of state taxes.
In September 2014, Supreme Court Justice Charles Johnson proposed that the Washington Supreme Court declare all 650 tax exemptions worth more than $30 billion annually as illegal because they make it impossible for the state legislature to comply with its constitutional duty to fully fund public schools. Justice Johnson proposed nullifying all $30 billion in tax breaks to provide the additional $4 billion needed to fully fund schools – and then only after public schools are fully funded, allowing law makers to restore whatever tax breaks they wants with the remaining $26 billion.
Thomas Ahearne, attorney for the McCleary lawsuit, agreed with this solution. Ahearne said "It is unconstitutional to give away money in the form of a tax exemption in place of amply funding schools."
But the truth is that there is no need to repeal all 650 tax breaks. Repealing just one of the tax breaks, the largest of the bunch, called the 1997 Intangible Tax Exemption, would provide all of the needed funding and also restore a fairer tax structure at the same time!
What is Intangible Property?
Tangible property is property you can touch –such as homes and commercial buildings. Intangible property includes all other forms of wealth – such as stocks, bonds and computer programs. With the concentration of wealth in the hands of the very rich, the value of intangible property is now much greater than the value of tangible property.
How much does the intangible property tax exemption cost our State?
In 1997, a change in our tax structure made intangible property exempt from our State's 1% Property tax. According to the Washington State 2008 Tax Exemption Report, this intangible property tax exemption is the single largest tax exemption. In 2008, it was valued at nearly $4 billion annually. Currently, it is as much as $8 billion annually. By comparison, funding for our public schools for one million school children is also $8 billion annually. So we spend as much on this single tax break for the rich as we do on educating our state's one million school children.
The failure of our current state legislature to adequately invest in our public schools is not only contrary to our state constitution, it is harmful to our democracy, to our economy and to the future of our children. Washington state used to be 11th in the nation in school funding. However, in 1997, the state legislature passed senate bill 5286 exempting all intangible property from our state property tax. This massive tax loop hole has given billions of dollars in tax breaks to our richest citizens every year during the past 18 years by exempting over one trillion dollars of "intangible property" from our State property tax.
Since 1997, this tax break has been used to funnel billions of dollars per year away from our public schools and into the pockets of our State's wealthiest citizens. As a consequence, Washington State school funding has plunged from 11thin the nation to 45th in the nation. The plunge in school funding since 1997 closely parallels a related plunge in State revenue. Washington State Revenue as a Percent of Income has declined dramatically during the past 20 years:
In 1996, Washington State was 12th in the nation in State income and in State taxes as a percent of income. However, by 2005, our State tax rate as a percent of income fell to 37th in the nation. Currently, the national average for state and local taxes is 10% of income while state and local taxes in Washington state is only 9% of income. This does not sound like much of a difference – but it comes to $3 billion in revenue less per year! Source: Washington State Department of Revenue http://dor.wa.gov/docs/reports/2008/Compare06/Table3.pdf
We would need to collect an additional four billion dollars per year in revenue just to return to the national average in State taxes. This tax exemption for the wealthy is the primary reason that school funding in our state is $4 billion per year below the national average and getting worse every year.
Senate Bill 6093 would repeal this huge tax break for the wealthy and invest $4 billion per year in public schools to restore school funding in our state and lower class sizes in our state back down to at least the national average. In this report, we will explain the many benefits of Senate Bill 6093, the School Funding Through Tax Fairness Act.
Two Decades of Tax Breaks for the Rich have caused Two Decades of Decline in Public School Funding
During the past two decades, since the intangible property tax exemption in 1997, our children have been forced to endure some of the lowest funded, most over-crowded schools in America. Washington is 45th in Per Pupil funding adjusted for the cost of living. Washington is 46th in education spending per thousand dollars of income.
US Census Bureau, Public Education Finances, 2012, published May 2014. Washington spends about $40 per $1,000 or 4% of income. The national. average is about $50 per thousand or 5% of income. http://www2.census.gov/govs/school/06f33pub.pdf. See Table 12, page 12. As a result, Washington is also 46th in the nation in average class size according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
Washington School Funding as % of National Average
For the past 18 years, our State has fallen far below the national average in school funding. We are now about $4,000 per pupil below the national average. $4,000 per pupil equals $4 billion per year just to restore school funding in our state to the national average. (US Census Bureau, Public Education Finances 2012).
School Funding increased in the rest of the nation, but plunged here in Washington State during the past 20 years
While other States have recognized the need toinvest more in their publicschools, our State hasreduced spending on public schools. Since we have about one million students in our State, it will take $4 billion dollars per year to restore school funding in our State to the national average. This would permit Washington State to hire 40,000 more teachers to restore national average class sizes.
As other states invest more in there schools every year, the gap between our state and national average school funding has grown worse every year.
Decades of Decline in School Construction Funding… School Construction and Repair Funding has also plunge by BILLIONS of dollars
Hiring tens of thousands of additional teachers will also require building tens of thousands of additional classrooms. Sadly, not only has our legislature failed to provide adequate funds for operating schools, but they have also failed to supply funds for the repair and building of schools. In particular, our Legislature has failed to help growing communities build urgently needed schools. While the legislature claims to "match" up to 50% of school construction costs, the Legislature's distorted school construction "formulas" result in a "match" of as little as 3% of actual school construction costs. As a consequence, over half of school construction bonds have gone down to defeat in the past 14 years and 10% of our one million children now forced to spend their school days in unhealthy portable boxes. (Washington State 2007 School Construction Task Force).
The history of school construction and repair funding in Washington State during the past 20 years mirrors the history of school operation funding in that there has been a steady decline in State funding for school construction. Whereas our State legislature historically provided more than 66% of the actual construction costs of public schools in the 1980's, State funding has fallen to below 10% of actual costs during the past 14 years. Compared to a national average spending on school construction and repair of $1,000 per pupil per year, our state legislature now allots less than $300 per year per pupil for school construction and repair- with local homeowners forced to pick up the difference!
State % Match of Actual School Construction Costs 1986 to 2014
Source: 2008 OSPI School Construction Transparency Study
The national average per pupil cost for school construction and repair is about $1,000 per pupil per year. The Superintendent of Public Instruction requested $1.6 billion per year ($1,600 per pupil per year) to build thousands of classrooms needed to support smaller class sizes. Yet the 2015 Senate proposal only included $120 per pupil – shifting over 90% of the cost of building and repairing schools onto the backs of local homeowners – who have already seen their property taxes DOUBLE since 1996 due to the failure of the state legislature to pay for school construction!
Due to the lack of state school construction funding, since 1996, more than $20 billion in school bonds have gone down to defeat.
More than $12 billion in school bonds have been passed – costing local homeowners more than $10 billion in additional property taxes. Most of this has been spent on temporary emergency classrooms forcing students to spend their school days in unhealthy portable classrooms.
Fewer permanent classrooms were built in 2005 to 2014 than at any point in the past 30 years. Due to the $20 billion school construction backlog, in 2015, OSPI requested $1.6 billion in build urgently needed permanent classrooms. Sadly, the Governor's proposal was only $300 million and the Senate proposal was only $120 million.
This decline in State Matching funds has resulted in a transfer of this funding burden from the State to local home owners via an increasing dependence on local school construction bonds. Like with operating costs, the State's failure to help fund school construction has led to a dramatic increase in local school bond and levy costs which in turn have led to a rapid rise in local property taxes. This unfair tax burden increase on middle class homeowners is as high as $2,000 additional dollars per year on the average home in King County. For example, in 2014, residents in King County pay on average $4,507 annually in property tax. This is more than twice what we paid in property taxes in 1996. This dramatic rise in property taxes can best be seen in the chart of total King County Taxes since 1996. The total property tax collected has more than tripled even as funding for schools and other services have been slashed:

Years of Broken Promises Led to 2014 Contempt of Court Ruling
In 2009, our state legislature passed the "Education Reform Act" promising to restore school funding to the national average by 2018. However, they failed to provide any funding to actually keep this promise. Instead, our schools have continued to fall further and further behind the national average. As a consequences of these years of broken promises, in 2014, the Washington Supreme Court, for the first time in the history of our state, held the Legislature in Contempt of Court for violating our State Constitution and failing to make "steady progress" towards restoring school funding. Also in 2014, the voters approved Initiative 1351 which requires steady progress to reducing class sizes in our state down to the national average. Steady progress would require more than $2 billion per year in additional school funding:
It would take nearly $4 billion per year in additional funding annually just to restore school funding in our state to the national average – with another $1 to $2 billion annually to restore school repair and construction funding to the national average.
Where will this $5 to $6 billion in additional state revenue for school funding come from? The legislature has struggled to find a way to solve this problem. Thus far, only minor "band aid" solutions have been proposed. Yet the future of one million children depends on our finding a way to solve this problem to fully fund our public schools. On March 27, 2015, the Washington State House proposed a "Band Aid" budget that providesless than$700 million per year in additional school funding. This is less than $700 per pupil per year. (See page 25, House Summary). On March 31, the State Senate proposed a "Band Aid" budget that also provides less than $700 million per yer in additional school funding. Either proposal only brings per pupil annual funding to about $8,300 – $3,400 per pupil per year below the 2014 national average of $11,700.
The House & Senate Band Aid Proposals do not comply with the 2014 State Supreme Court "Steady Progress" Order or with Initiative 1351 Steady Progress Requirement.
It would take $5,000 per pupil per year (or $5 billion in additional state funding per year) to bring school funding in Washington to $12,700 per pupil as required by the Washington Supreme Court, the Education Reform Act and Initiative 1351.
The difference between current school funding levels in Washington state and the national average is even greater when you add the fact that Washington state only pays $200 per student for school construction and repair while the national average is $1,000 per pupil. This raises the 2015 National Average total school funding to $13,000 per pupil while the 2015 Washington State House and Senate are only proposing to spend $8,500 per pupil. It would take $4,500 per pupil ($4.5 billion per year) in additional state funding to meet the 2015 total national average spent per pupil on school funding.
The Underlying Cause of our School Funding Crisis… A Massive 1997 Tax Break for the Super Rich!
We have not always had the lowest school funding in the nation. In 1997, Washington was near the national average in school funding. Something happened in 1997 to cause a huge plunge in state revenue and school funding. Where did all of the money go? For the answer, see the 2008 Washington State DOR Tax Exemption Report, Summary List.
http://dor.wa.gov/docs/reports/2008/Tax_Exemptions_2008/Tax_exemptions_2008.pdf
The largest tax exemption is the "Intangible Property Tax Exemption."This single exemption was responsible for $7 billion in state tax breaks per biennium or $3.5 billion in state tax breaks per year in 2008. This makes this single tax break much larger than any other tax break. The law allowing for this tax break is RCW 84.36.070. http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=84.36.070
Due to a rapid rise in the concentration of wealth in the hands of the richest one percent, and with nearly all of this wealth being in the form of intangible property, the amount of lost revenue due to this tax exemption has skyrocketed since 1997 to the point where it is now causing a loss of state funding of more than $4 billion per year.
Currently, our state taxes tangible property, such as houses, at a rate of one percent a year. By contrast, intangible property, such as stocks and bonds, are not taxed at all. The School Funding Through Tax Fairness Act is a fair and simple solution to the school funding crisis. It provides more than fourbillion dollars per year in additional funding for our public schools, without raising taxes on our middle class, by repealing the 1997 tax loop hole on intangible property, such as stocks and bonds, from our State property tax (see 1997 ESSB 5286). This tax loophole gave billions of dollars in tax breaks to our richest citizens every year during the past 18 years. Historically, intangible property accounted for a very small percent of all property. However, with the concentration of wealth in the hands of the richest one percent, intangible property now account for over 70% of all property. Over 90% of intangible wealth is owned by the top one percent of our richest citizens. It is time for a fairer property tax structure.
It is no mere coincidence that our State has been short changing our public schools by billions of dollars a year ever since. As a direct result of this massive and unwise State tax give away, as well as the federal tax cuts since then, the wealth of the richest one percent of our population has DOUBLED in the past 20 years from 20% of our total wealth to 40% of our total wealth.
In the face of the current school funding crisis, we can no longer afford this tax give away for the super rich while our school children get the shaft. The School Funding Through Tax Fairness Act would exempt all retirement accounts and all personal intangible property up to $200,000. It thus only applies to the richest 1% of our citizens. It would not even harm millionaires as they could deduct their state taxes from their federal taxes. So this bill is really a transfer of four billion dollars from the federal tax rolls to the state tax rolls.
The School Funding Through Tax Fairness Act would also create over 80,000 new jobs in our State, bring school funding back up to the national average and restore a fairer and more stable tax structure.
School Funding Through Tax Fairness Act Promotes Home Ownership
The School Funding Through Tax Fairness Act would also reward middle class home ownership with tax breaks for middle class homeowners instead of promoting stock market speculation with tax breaks for the intangible property of billionaires. Let's compare the current tangible property tax of a typical King County homeowner to the world's richest billionaire who also lives in King County. A typical family in King County owns a $300,000 home on which they owe $200,000 and pay $4,000 in property taxes. Their combined income before taxes is about $50,000 and their combined net worth is $200,00 – $100,000 in retirement savings and $100,000 in home equity. They not only pay property tax on their $100,000 equity in their home – they pay property tax on the $200,000 in home value owned by the bank! Their property tax bill is currently 8% of their total combined income. Under the School Funding Through Tax Fairness Act, each parent would receive a property tax exemption for $200,000 – lowering their property tax bill to ZERO and saving the family $4,000 per year and lowering the percent of their income they pay in property taxes to 0% of income.
By contrast, Bill Gates has an income of over $10 billion per year and a total net worth of over $100 billion – nearly all of which is in the form of intangible property such as stocks and bonds. Therefore Bill Gates pays less than one percent of his income in property taxes. Under the School Funding Through Tax Fairness Act, Bill Gates would pay a property tax of about one billion dollars per year – or 10% of his annual income – but he could also deduct the entire one billion dollars from his federal taxes – so he is still really paying almost nothing!
Since our State revenue is billions of dollars lower than the national average, our problem is not out of control State spending, but out of control State tax breaks for millionaires.
In shifting the tax burden to our middle class homeowners, and causing the firing of thousands of public servants, these massive tax exemptions for the rich do not create jobs. Instead, they cost jobs. We do not have an "out of control" State spending problem… We have an "out of control" tax breaks for millionaires problem. Meanwhile because of tax breaks for the rich, our teachers are paid LESS in real dollars today than they were 20 years ago!
These ever-increasing "tax shifts" of the tax burden away from millionaires and onto our middle class homeowners have led to increases in middle class taxes. In particular, the property tax burden on our middle class has skyrocketed in the past 14 years as the ratio of commercial to residential tangible property has shifted from about 50-50 in 1997 to 66% residential to 33% commercial by 2006.
Source: Washington State Department of Revenue http://dor.wa.gov/docs/reports/wa_tax_system_11_17_2004.pdf
When $100 billion dollars of commercial property is exempted from property taxes, residential property taxes must go up even if State and local spending remains the same.
As a consequence of these tax break for millionaires, and tax shifts to our middle class, our middle class now pay much more than the national average in State taxes while millionaires in our State pay much less than the national average. Working families see their tax bills go through the roof and they naturally assume that State spending is "Out of control." But what is really out of control is tax breaks for millionaires. Because of all the tax breaks they get, millionaires now pay less than 3% of their income in State taxes. Meanwhile, our poor and middle class pay State taxes at a rate of 12% or more. We have allowed our State to become a tax haven for millionaires. Those who can afford to pay the most are paying the least. Meanwhile, those who can afford to pay the least pay the most. As a consequence of these tax breaks for millionaires, in just the past 10 years, the richest one percent have gone from owning 20% of our nation's wealth to owning 40% of our wealth.
This Act would place a referendum before the voters asking to repeal the current exemption on intangible property from the State property tax and tax intangible property at the same one percent rate as tangible property. Retirement accounts and personal intangible property up to $200,000 not in retirement accounts would be exempt. So closing this tax loop hole would only increase taxes for 5% of our citizens. The other 95% would see a reduction in their State taxes. Now is the time to begin a public discussion over the best way to balance the State budget while still protecting the future of our children and our communities. Funding our public schools should be more important than protecting tax breaks for millionaires. We hope the public and the press will give this Bill a fair hearing. With the serious nature of our current school funding crisis, it is time to put all options on the table and begin a public discussion over the future of our schools and our State.
