<div>There's an Austin night shift workers tribe: http://tribes.tribe.net/answ1 <br/> <br/>I have just made a few changes to the tribe. I plan to tend my tribe again shortly. <br/> <br/>It is quite peculiar that there is not already a 24 hour economy in most major areas. The night shift is extraordinarily frustrating. The 24 hour economy would also benefit musicians and other artists that perform until late at night or early in the morning. Currently I have an ad in the Austin Chronicle for promoting the 24 hour economy in the U.S. Hopefully we'll get it established in a lifetime. <br/> <br/>Austin Chronicle ad URL: http://classifieds.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/ViewAd?oid=oid%3A280931 <br/> <br/>Matt C. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Austintribe.tribe.net">Austin</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>I have a few URLs for a 27 min. or so clip called "The Greatest Story Ever Told," part I of a movie called "Zeitgeist." This part addresses the connection of astrology and religion. One learns how "Sun of God," became "Son of God," what the three kings actually are, and how Christians borrowed much of their story from other religions. It's informative, brief, and cool.

Although his label has been extremely influential in establishing the much-loved South African sound, his own productions are very distinct. In addition to numerous compilation tracks on many popular labels, he has released two full length albums on Timecode, both of which gleefully ignore generic structures and formulas of psytrance to deliver mental twistedness and dancefloor madness. On top of this, he has a busy mastering facility for Timecode and other labels such as Alchemy, Zenon, Yabai, Digital Psionics, and more. He has played all over the world, and we are honored to have him performing live and dj'ing here in Texas. <br/> <br/> <br/>DJ NIKI(3 hour dj set) <br/>Mighty Quinn Records- St. Petersburg, Russia/Tokyo, Japan <br/>www.mightyquinnrecords.com/Arti....html <br/> <br/>Niki is a co-founder and owner of Tokyo based psychedelic trance label Mighty Quinn Records. Together with his partner Toshi they have released two well recognized and respected compilations and now working on future releases. Dj Niki has been Djing since 2004 and had played at numerous psychedelic parties around Japan. Sharing the decks with artists such as Penta, Osom, Jahbo, Kindzadza, Parus, Polyphonia, Dejan and Jellyheadz Mussy Moody, Candy Power, Metallaxis, Savage Scream and many, many more, Dj Niki has acquired a full length and power collection of music and presents a complete psychedelic story to the dancer on the floor. His sets are described to be perfect for any time of the party and are usually smooth, rhythmic, and mysterious and create a perfect atmosphere for body and mind. Trancers and dancers are usually are put in a happy, easy going, relaxed state of mind. Feel free to come and share this experience with Niki. Boom! <br/> <br/> <br/>DAKSINAMURTI (3 hour dj set) <br/>Rudraksh/ Shiva Space Technologies. Germany <br/>www.myspace.com/daksi <br/> <br/>His taste of music is exactly fitting the Mind Funk profile, which is consisting out of knucklebusting kicks, deep throbbing bass lines, combined with powerful &amp; intelligent synths and not just commercial crap as found on way too many releases nowadays. Perfect nighttime/twilight psychedelic powertrance is the recipe here, next to also have a real weakness for well produced and intelligent soulful morning or daytime sounds. <br/> <br/> <br/>ARTIFICIAL LIFE PRESERVER(live pa) <br/>Psymbolic.

<div>I found this in the Sept. 2008 Pop Sci magazine: <br/> <br/>"Guitar's New Hero <br/> <br/>The Moog Guitar can sound - and feel - like anything from a banjo to a synthesizer. <br/> <br/>Rock pioneers like Lou Reed are already using the Moog to create new sounds. Expect to hear it on albums soon." <br/>moogmusic.com <br/> <br/>I am excited about the synthesizer part. I enjoy technological music with a layer of guitar added. I'll probably enjoy the opposite, and be enticed to listen to rock a bit. Some progressive jams with elements of trance may be stellar. <br/> <br/>While on the topic of technological listen to the music below via the URLs and read my brief if you have a little extra time: <br/> <br/>Klaus Schulze - The Wisdom of the Leaves (this URL plays about half of the song) - this is a calm song <br/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8bO_vMMfDg&amp;feature=related <br/> <br/>Klaus Schulze - A Classical Move - this song is lush. If there were a Disneyland of Latin America I would anticipate hearing such a song while walking a exhibit, say "Latin American Expedition," (parrots, plants, treasure, maybe some nude art camouflaged in a busy section , insects, mists effects --> Just to give you an idea of the exhibit) <br/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZYVFXXa5wM&amp;feature=related <br/> <br/>Brief <br/>Klaus Schulze: He was of the Berlin School of electronic music. The Berlin school is described on Wikipedia as "soaring electric guitar or synthesizer melodies in high-register accompanied by complex, shifting analog sequencer bass lines. The lead soloist's warm, human improvisations were a counterpoint to the cold, robotic precision of the bass-lines. Sound effects such as wind, and washes of Mellotron choir, flute, or strings were often added for color. Klaus is among technological music pioneers. <br/> <br/>Matt</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Austintribe.tribe.net">Austin</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/10/world/europe/10sitcom.html <br/> <br/>A drumbeat of anti-Americanism may be coming from the Kremlin these days, but across Russia people are embracing that quintessentially American genre, the television sitcom, not to mention one of its brassiest examples. And curiously enough, it is the Russian government that has effectively brought “Married With Children” to this land, which somehow made it through the latter half of the 20th century without the benefit of the laugh track. <br/> <br/>http://www.australianidol.com.au/the-show.html <br/> <br/> <br/>Recognize any of these? <br/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Australian_reality_television_series <br/> <br/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%80_la_Recherche_de_la_Nouvelle_Star <br/> <br/>also: <br/>I had no idea so many people spoke / were French: <br/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Map-Francophonie_organisation_2006.png</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Austintribe.tribe.net">Austin</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Lat minute host families needed for a group of high school aged students from China, Korea, Thailand, 1 from Taiwan, and 2 from Czech. They will stay 1-3 months, depending, and require room and board, with access to the bus or with transportation from their host family to central Austin for classes. They have their own spending money. They will attend one month of intensive English classes, then some go home, some stay on to go to high school for a month or 2. They are arriving next Thursday if possible, maybe later if families cannot be found. <br/> <br/>Hosting is a fantastic way to learn about a new culture and to show the rest of the world that America isn't all bad! Everyone I've known who has hosted has said it was a great experience, and you create a friend for life. If you've ever considered hosting, this would be a great program to start with, very short and manageable. <br/> <br/>If interested, please email me at madamestrange at yahoo and I'll be happy to send you more information and give you the coordinators contact info. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Austintribe.tribe.net">Austin</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Contact Improvisation: Tapping the Source <br/>An Integrated Dance Workshop for Women <br/> <br/>We begin with the body. <br/>We move from a place of stillness. <br/>We awaken our senses and discover ways of connecting. <br/>Connecting with ourselves, connecting with others. <br/>We merge the internal with the external. <br/>The dance begins. <br/> <br/>Contact Improvisation is a movement practice that involves dancing in physical contact with one or more persons. This workshop will set a foundation for participants to tap into their own essence of stillness and movement, of staying present in the NOW and making choices from that place. Using guided meditation, personal warm up, and various movement 'scores' or exercises, participants are encouraged to explore safe and fun ways of entering and exiting a dance, following a point of contact, giving and taking weight, and finding balance in tricky situations. This workshop is about letting go, feeling safe in intimate situations, and having FUN!!! <br/>All are welcome. <br/> <br/>Since moving to Austin in 1997, Laurie Ellington has been developing an integrated dance practice combining Contact Improvisation with Ecstatic Dance, Contemplative Dance, and Authentic Movement. She sees Contact Improvisation as a metaphor for life. 'When we slow down, and bring attention to stillness, amazing things happen. There is always movement, and movement is life.' In her teaching, Laurie uses sensitivity, openness, and curiosity, to investigate different states of awareness through movement. <br/> <br/> <br/>************************************************************************************************* <br/> <br/>Contact Improvisation: Tapping the Source <br/> <br/>July 26 (saturday) <br/> <br/>12noon - 4pm <br/> <br/>NiaSpace -- 3212 South Congress, 78704 <br/> <br/>Cost: $45 - $65 ( work trade available -- please ask!!!) <br/> <br/>contact: laurie_ellington@hotmail.com or call 512-797-9297 <br/> <br/>Proceeds to this workshop will go towards Laurie's vision of working with women and children who have been victims of domestic violence. <br/> <br/>************************************************************************************</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Austintribe.tribe.net">Austin</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>(Copied / Pasted) <br/> <br/>Austin's police chief has a new idea to draw your blood if you refuse a Breathalyzer test. <br/>The Austin Police Chief is getting ready to implement a new FEDERAL program here in Austin. <br/> <br/>Austin Police Department Chief Art Acevedo is hoping to start the program this year with a federal grant. It would train his DWI officers to take you to jail and get a search warrant for your blood. The search warrant would give an officer the right to stick a needle in your arm to get a blood alcohol level, replacing the job of a jail nurse. <br/> <br/> <br/>"My intent in the future is to make it so there is no such thing as a refusal. You can refuse all you want, but we are going to aggressively seek search warrants," said Acevedo. <br/> <br/>(See the original article &amp; video report here: http://www.kxan.com/global/story.asp?s=8581029&amp;rnd=552.5117347010923 <br/> <br/>Acevedo said he would not ask for taxpayer money in Austin but at the federal level. He's hoping to start the program by the end of this year. <br/> <br/> <br/>There is going to be a Austin Downtown Commanders Forum on Tuesday, July 8th at 6pm. <br/>We need to be there in numbers, telling the Austin Police Department how we will not tolerate these kinds of tactics in our city. Be there early with video cameras and ready to speak! <br/> <br/>It's time to take a stand! <br/> <br/>Mexican American Cultural Center <br/>600 River St <br/>Austin, TX 78701 <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Austintribe.tribe.net">Austin</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div> <br/>Hi friends, <br/>I met Yurei Chernovol at a Sufi Workshop in Houston at Bamboo Bodyworks in May, where we swapped underground Sudanese Sufi tunes and high-stepped to folk music from Moldova till 3am - this guy could keep up with myself and Ethan....and more!! An unassuming and enthusiastic fellow, I couldn't figure out why he came from NYC to Houston for the workshop. Turns out, he comes to Houston every 8 weeks to cut hair, and LOTS of hair for clients who beg him to come more often. He oftentimes works 12-14 hrs a day for 10 days to fit everyone in. <br/> <br/>I had the pleasure of receiving a hair 'sculpture' from Yurei outside my house, nestled between a fig tree and an oleander, and I totally get it now: the difference between a haircut and a work of art. I've asked him to route through Austin this wkend on our caravan to New Mexico for Sufi camp, so he will have appts available on Friday night and Saturday morning before we head out. He's offering a discounted price of $135 since this is his first time to Austin (usually $150 in Houston and higher in NYC). <br/> <br/>He was Frederic Fekkai's personal assistant for 3 years, then his senior stylist for another 5 (this guy gets $900 per cut!) These are some of his clients: <br/> <br/>Suze Orman (check out her online scrapbook, Yurei is in pp7-8 of Nov '07, p2 of Oct '07 and p24 of Jun '07) <br/>Sigourney Weaver <br/>Ashlee Simpson <br/>Britney Spears <br/>Sarah Jessica-Parker <br/>Ethan Dunn ('make me a russian mobster') <br/>and all the Sufis at Sufi camp, where I'll be this summer! <br/> <br/>Please contact me directly to set up an appointment. 713.882.7218 or kerry111@gmail.com <br/> <br/>Appointment Times (cuts only, no color this visit due to short time) <br/> <br/>Friday, July 4th <br/>6:00pm <br/>7:15pm <br/>8:30pm <br/>9:45pm <br/> <br/>Saturday, July 5th <br/>8:00am <br/>9:15am <br/>10:30am <br/>11:45am <br/>1:00pm <br/> <br/>Appointment location, Jodie's house: <br/>5206 La Bahia Rd. <br/>Austin, TX 78745 <br/>click here for google map <br/> <br/>Did I tell you he wears flip flops with hearts on them? <br/> <br/>-- <br/>Kerry L.

<div>The Obama Craze: Count Me Out <br/> <br/>by Matt Gonzalez, 2008-02-27 <br/>Part of me shares the enthusiasm for Barack Obama. After all, how could someone calling themself a progressive not sense the importance of what it means to have an African-American so close to the presidency? But as his campaign has unfolded, and I heard that we are not red states or blue states for the 6th or 7th time, I realized I knew virtually nothing about him. <br/> <br/>Like most, I know he gave a stirring speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. I know he defeated Alan Keyes in the Illinois Senate race; although it wasn’t much of a contest (Keyes was living in Maryland when he announced). Recently, I started looking into Obama’s voting record, and I’m afraid to say I’m not just uninspired: I’m downright fearful. Here's why: <br/> <br/>This is a candidate who says he’s going to usher in change; that he is a different kind of politician who has the skills to get things done. He reminds us again and again that he had the foresight to oppose the war in Iraq. And he seems to have a genuine interest in lifting up the poor. <br/> <br/>But his record suggests that he is incapable of ushering in any kind of change I’d like to see. It is one of accommodation and concession to the very political powers that we need to reign in and oppose if we are to make truly lasting advances. <br/> <br/>THE WAR IN IRAQ <br/> <br/>Let’s start with his signature position against the Iraq war. Obama has sent mixed messages at best. <br/> <br/>First, he opposed the war in Iraq while in the Illinois state legislature. Once he was running for US Senate though, when public opinion and support for the war was at its highest, he was quoted in the July 27, 2004 Chicago Tribune as saying, “There’s not that much difference between my position and George Bush’s position at this stage. The difference, in my mind, is who’s in a position to execute.” The Tribune went on to say that Obama, “now believes US forces must remain to stabilize the war-ravaged nation – a policy not dissimilar to the current approach of the Bush administration.” <br/> <br/>Obama’s campaign says he was referring to the ongoing occupation and how best to stabilize the region. But why wouldn’t he have taken the opportunity to urge withdrawal if he truly opposed the war? Was he trying to signal to conservative voters that he would subjugate his anti-war position if elected to the US Senate and perhaps support a lengthy occupation? Well as it turns out, he’s done just that. <br/> <br/>Since taking office in January 2005 he has voted to approve every war appropriation the Republicans have put forward, totaling over $300 billion. He also voted to confirm Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State despite her complicity in the Bush Administration’s various false justifications for going to war in Iraq. Why would he vote to make one of the architects of “Operation Iraqi Liberation” the head of US foreign policy? Curiously, he lacked the courage of 13 of his colleagues who voted against her confirmation. <br/> <br/>And though he often cites his background as a civil rights lawyer, Obama voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act in July 2005, easily the worse attack on civil liberties in the last half-century. It allows for wholesale eavesdropping on American citizens under the guise of anti-terrorism efforts. <br/> <br/>And in March 2006, Obama went out of his way to travel to Connecticut to campaign for Senator Joseph Lieberman who faced a tough challenge by anti-war candidate Ned Lamont. At a Democratic Party dinner attended by Lamont, Obama called Lieberman “his mentor” and urged those in attendance to vote and give financial contributions to him. This is the same Lieberman who Alexander Cockburn called “Bush’s closest Democratic ally on the Iraq War.” Why would Obama have done that if he was truly against the war? <br/> <br/>Recently, with anti-war sentiment on the rise, Obama declared he will get our combat troops out of Iraq in 2009. But Obama isn’t actually saying he wants to get all of our troops out of Iraq. At a September 2007 debate before the New Hampshire primary, moderated by Tim Russert, Obama refused to commit to getting our troops out of Iraq by January 2013 and, on the campaign trail, he has repeatedly stated his desire to add 100,000 combat troops to the military. <br/> <br/>At the same event, Obama committed to keeping enough soldiers in Iraq to “carry out our counter-terrorism activities there” which includes “striking at al Qaeda in Iraq.” What he didn’t say is this continued warfare will require an estimated 60,000 troops to remain in Iraq according to a May 2006 report prepared by the Center for American Progress. Moreover, it appears he intends to “redeploy” the troops he takes out of the unpopular war in Iraq and send them to Afghanistan. So it appears that under Obama’s plan the US will remain heavily engaged in war. <br/> <br/>This is hardly a position to get excited about. <br/> <br/>CLASS ACTION REFORM: <br/> <br/>In 2005, Obama joined Republicans in passing a law dubiously called the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA) that would shut down state courts as a venue to hear many class action lawsuits. Long a desired objective of large corporations and President George Bush, Obama in effect voted to deny redress in many of the courts where these kinds of cases have the best chance of surviving corporate legal challenges. Instead, it forces them into the backlogged Republican-judge dominated federal courts. <br/> <br/>By contrast, Senators Clinton, Edwards and Kerry joined 23 others to vote against CAFA, noting the “reform” was a thinly-veiled “special interest extravaganza” that favored banking, creditors and other corporate interests. David Sirota, the former spokesman for Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, commented on CAFA in the June 26, 2006 issue of The Nation, “Opposed by most major civil rights and consumer watchdog groups, this Big Business-backed legislation was sold to the public as a way to stop "frivolous" lawsuits. But everyone in Washington knew the bill's real objective was to protect corporate abusers.” <br/> <br/>Nation contributor Dan Zegart noted further: “On its face, the class-action bill is mere procedural tinkering, transferring from state to federal court actions involving more than $5 million where any plaintiff is from a different state from the defendant company. But federal courts are much more hostile to class actions than their state counterparts; such cases tend to be rooted in the finer points of state law, in which federal judges are reluctant to dabble. And even if federal judges do take on these suits, with only 678 of them on the bench (compared with 9,200 state judges), already overburdened dockets will grow. Thus, the bill will make class actions – most of which involve discrimination, consumer fraud and wage-and-hour violations – all but impossible. One example: After forty lawsuits were filed against Wal-Mart for allegedly forcing employees to work "off the clock," four state courts certified these suits as class actions. Not a single federal court did so, although the practice probably involves hundreds of thousands of employees nationwide.” <br/> <br/>Why would a civil rights lawyer knowingly make it harder for working-class people to have their day in court, in effect shutting off avenues of redress? <br/> <br/>CREDIT CARD INTEREST RATES: <br/> <br/>Obama has a way of ducking hard votes or explaining away his bad votes by trying to blame poorly-written statutes. Case in point: an amendment he voted on as part of a recent bankruptcy bill before the US Senate would have capped credit card interest rates at 30 percent. Inexplicably, Obama voted against it, although it would have been the beginning of setting these predatory lending rates under federal control. Even Senator Hillary Clinton supported it. <br/> <br/>Now Obama explains his vote by saying the amendment was poorly written or set the ceiling too high. His explanation isn’t credible as Obama offered no lower number as an alternative, and didn’t put forward his own amendment clarifying whatever language he found objectionable. <br/> <br/>Why wouldn’t Obama have voted to create the first federal ceiling on predatory credit card interest rates, particularly as he calls himself a champion of the poor and middle classes? Perhaps he was signaling to the corporate establishment that they need not fear him. For all of his dynamic rhetoric about lifting up the masses, it seems Obama has little intention of doing anything concrete to reverse the cycle of poverty many struggle to overcome. <br/> <br/>LIMITING NON-ECONOMIC DAMAGES: <br/> <br/>These seemingly unusual votes wherein Obama aligns himself with Republican Party interests aren’t new. While in the Illinois Senate, Obama voted to limit the recovery that victims of medical malpractice could obtain through the courts. Capping non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases means a victim cannot fully recover for pain and suffering or for punitive damages. Moreover, it ignored that courts were already empowered to adjust awards when appropriate, and that the Illinois Supreme Court had previously ruled such limits on tort reform violated the state constitution. <br/> <br/>In the US Senate, Obama continued interfering with patients’ full recovery for tortious conduct. He was a sponsor of the National Medical Error Disclosure and Compensation Act of 2005. The bill requires hospitals to disclose errors to patients and has a mechanism whereby disclosure, coupled with apologies, is rewarded by limiting patients’ economic recovery. Rather than simply mandating disclosure, Obama’s solution is to trade what should be mandated for something that should never be given away: namely, full recovery for the injured patient. <br/> <br/>MINING LAW OF 1872: <br/> <br/>In November 2007, Obama came out against a bill that would have reformed the notorious Mining Law of 1872. The current statute, signed into law by Ulysses Grant, allows mining companies to pay a nominal fee, as little as $2.50 an acre, to mine for hardrock minerals like gold, silver, and copper without paying royalties. Yearly profits for mining hardrock on public lands is estimated to be in excess of $1 billion a year according to Earthworks, a group that monitors the industry. Not surprisingly, the industry spends freely when it comes to lobbying: an estimated $60 million between 1998-2004 according to The Center on Public Integrity. And it appears to be paying off, yet again. <br/> <br/>The Hardrock Mining and Reclamation Act of 2007 would have finally overhauled the law and allowed American taxpayers to reap part of the royalties (4 percent of gross revenue on existing mining operations and 8 percent on new ones). The bill provided a revenue source to cleanup abandoned hardrock mines, which is likely to cost taxpayers over $50 million, and addressed health and safety concerns in the 11 affected western states. <br/> <br/>Later it came to light that one of Obama’s key advisors in Nevada is a Nevada-based lobbyist in the employ of various mining companies (CBS News “Obama’s Position On Mining Law Questioned. Democrat Shares Position with Mining Executives Who Employ Lobbyist Advising Him,” November 14, 2007). <br/> <br/>REGULATING NUCLEAR INDUSTRY: <br/> <br/>The New York Times reported that, while campaigning in Iowa in December 2007, Obama boasted that he had passed a bill requiring nuclear plants to promptly report radioactive leaks. This came after residents of his home state of Illinois complained they were not told of leaks that occurred at a nuclear plant operated by Exelon Corporation. <br/> <br/>The truth, however, was that Obama allowed the bill to be amended in Committee by Senate Republicans, replacing language mandating reporting with verbiage that merely offered guidance to regulators on how to address unreported leaks. The story noted that even this version of Obama’s bill failed to pass the Senate, so it was unclear why Obama was claiming to have passed the legislation. The February 3, 2008 The New York Times article titled “Nuclear Leaks and Response Tested Obama in Senate” by Mike McIntire also noted the opinion of one of Obama’s constituents, which was hardly enthusiastic about Obama’s legislative efforts: <br/> <br/>"Senator Obama's staff was sending us copies of the bill to review, and we could see it weakening with each successive draft," said Joe Cosgrove, a park district director in Will County, Ill., where low-level radioactive runoff had turned up in groundwater. "The teeth were just taken out of it." <br/> <br/>As it turns out, the New York Times story noted: “Since 2003, executives and employees of Exelon, which is based in Illinois, have contributed at least $227,000 to Mr. Obama’s campaigns for the United States Senate and for president. Two top Exelon officials, Frank M. Clark, executive vice president, and John W. Rogers Jr., a director, are among his largest fund-raisers.” <br/> <br/>ENERGY POLICY: <br/> <br/>On energy policy, it turns out Obama is a big supporter of corn-based ethanol which is well known for being an energy-intensive crop to grow. It is estimated that seven barrels of oil are required to produce eight barrels of corn ethanol, according to research by the Cato Institute. Ethanol’s impact on climate change is nominal and isn’t “green” according to Alisa Gravitz, Co-op America executive director. “It simply isn’t a major improvement over gasoline when it comes to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.” A 2006 University of Minnesota study by Jason Hill and David Tilman, and an earlier study published in BioScience in 2005, concur. (There’s even concern that a reliance on corn-based ethanol would lead to higher food prices.) <br/> <br/>So why would Obama be touting this as a solution to our oil dependency? Could it have something to do with the fact that the first presidential primary is located in Iowa, corn capitol of the country? In legislative terms this means Obama voted in favor of $8 billion worth of corn subsidies in 2006 alone, when most of that money should have been committed to alternative energy sources such as solar, tidal and wind. <br/> <br/>SINGLE-PAYER HEALTH CARE: <br/> <br/>Obama opposed single-payer bill HR676, sponsored by Congressmen Dennis Kucinich and John Conyers in 2006, although at least 75 members of Congress supported it. Single-payer works by trying to diminish the administrative costs that comprise somewhere around one-third of every health care dollar spent, by eliminating the duplicative nature of these services. The expected $300 billion in annual savings such a system would produce would go directly to cover the uninsured and expand coverage to those who already have insurance, according to Dr. Stephanie Woolhandler, an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and co-founder of Physicians for a National Health Program. <br/> <br/>Obama’s own plan has been widely criticized for leaving health care industry administrative costs in place and for allowing millions of people to remain uninsured. “Sicko” filmmaker Michael Moore ridiculed it saying, “Obama wants the insurance companies to help us develop a new health care plan-the same companies who have created the mess in the first place.” <br/> <br/>NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT: <br/> <br/>Regarding the North American Free Trade Agreement, Obama recently boasted, “I don’t think NAFTA has been good for Americans, and I never have.” Yet, Calvin Woodward reviewed Obama’s record on NAFTA in a February 26, 2008 Associated Press article and found that comment to be misleading: “In his 2004 Senate campaign, Obama said the US should pursue more deals such as NAFTA, and argued more broadly that his opponent's call for tariffs would spark a trade war. AP reported then that the Illinois senator had spoken of enormous benefits having accrued to his state from NAFTA, while adding that he also called for more aggressive trade protections for US workers.” <br/> <br/>Putting aside campaign rhetoric, when actually given an opportunity to protect workers from unfair trade agreements, Obama cast the deciding vote against an amendment to a September 2005 Commerce Appropriations Bill, proposed by North Dakota Senator Byron Dorgan, that would have prohibited US trade negotiators from weakening US laws that provide safeguards from unfair foreign trade practices. The bill would have been a vital tool to combat the outsourcing of jobs to foreign workers and would have ended a common corporate practice known as “pole-vaulting” over regulations, which allows companies doing foreign business to avoid “right to organize,” “minimum wage,” and other worker protections. <br/> <br/>SOME FINAL EXAMPLES: <br/> <br/>On March 2, 2007 Obama gave a speech at AIPAC, America’s pro-Israeli government lobby, wherein he disavowed his previous support for the plight of the Palestinians. In what appears to be a troubling pattern, Obama told his audience what they wanted to hear. He recounted a one-sided history of the region and called for continued military support for Israel, rather than taking the opportunity to promote the various peace movements in and outside of Israel. <br/> <br/>Why should we believe Obama has courage to bring about change? He wouldn’t have his picture taken with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom when visiting San Francisco for a fundraiser in his honor because Obama was scared voters might think he supports gay marriage (Newsom acknowledged this to Reuters on January 26, 2007 and former Mayor Willie Brown admitted to the San Francisco Chronicle on February 5, 2008 that Obama told him he wanted to avoid Newsom for that reason.) <br/> <br/>Obama acknowledges the disproportionate impact the death penalty has on blacks, but still supports it, while other politicians are fighting to stop it. (On December 17, 2007 New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine signed a bill banning the death penalty after it was passed by the New Jersey Assembly.) <br/> <br/>On September 29, 2006, Obama joined Republicans in voting to build 700 miles of double fencing on the Mexican border (The Secure Fence Act of 2006), abandoning 19 of his colleagues who had the courage to oppose it. But now that he’s campaigning in Texas and eager to win over Mexican-American voters, he says he’d employ a different border solution. <br/> <br/>It is shocking how frequently and consistently Obama is willing to subjugate good decision making for his personal and political benefit. <br/> <br/>Obama aggressively opposed initiating impeachment proceedings against the president (“Obama: Impeachment is not acceptable,” USA Today, June 28, 2007) and he wouldn’t even support Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold’s effort to censure the Bush administration for illegally wiretapping American citizens in violation of the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. In Feingold’s words “I’m amazed at Democrats … cowering with this president’s number’s so low.” Once again, it’s troubling that Obama would take these positions and miss the opportunity to document the abuses of the Bush regime. <br/> <br/>CONCLUSION: <br/> <br/>Once I started looking at the votes Obama actually cast, I began to hear his rhetoric differently. The principal conclusion I draw about “change” and Barack Obama is that Obama needs to change his voting habits and stop pandering to win votes. If he does this he might someday make a decent candidate who could earn my support. For now Obama has fallen into a dangerous pattern of capitulation that he cannot reconcile with his growing popularity as an agent of change. <br/> <br/>I remain impressed by the enthusiasm generated by Obama’s style and skill as an orator. But I remain more loyal to my values, and I’m glad to say that I want no part in the Obama craze sweeping our country. <br/> <br/>Matt Gonzalez is a former president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Austintribe.tribe.net">Austin</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div> Hey Austin <br/> <br/>So - a flash mob is: describes a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, then casually walk away. <br/>(according to wikipedia) <br/> <br/> <br/>What it looks like: <br/> <br/>1.You make suggestions on the tribe postings <br/>2. Based on popularity, myself (with help) will choose which one to do <br/>3. a date, time, location will be chosen. <br/>4. you receive a text message with instructions on where, when and what <br/>5. FLASH MOB! <br/> <br/>This could be... a pillow fight on Tuesday at 3 pm at x intersection for 5 minutes. <br/>sample: youtube.com/watch?v=JgKR7fEAryE <br/> <br/>Or one I've done in the past - all of a sudden 25 people walking down the street start singing and hand motions for "I'm a little teapot" <br/> <br/>Just put in "flash mob" into youtube for more examples. <br/> <br/>The point is to do something ridiculous for a short period of time - something out of the ordinary. AND you don't go and stand around organizing - you just show up - do it - and casually walk away! <br/> <br/>TO RECEIVE TEXTS PLEASE: <br/>text: austinflashmob to 66937 <br/> <br/>then reply to the welcome message with "y" and you should be all set! <br/> <br/>So - join the tribe --- I promise it will be fun....! <br/>http://tribes.tribe.net/austinflashmob</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Austintribe.tribe.net">Austin</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hi. I'm fairly new to Tribe but am very impressed with the format of it and communal feelings. One of my favorite activities is creating sushi and a quick search showed many tribes which were geared towards the appreciation but none for the creation and how to make sushi and so I started a tribe: http://tribes.tribe.net/sushi_creationists <br/> <br/>Please take a gander and if you like what I've contributed thus far, please join. I'll be putting up more information as I have the time. <br/> <br/>Also, every few months I have sushi parties in my apartment where I make all the sushi, nigiri, edamame, and other cooked foods such as Pad Thai. If I know you, you are welcome to stop by. If I don't know you, send me a message and maybe we can meet up and then I'll send you an invitation with my address. <br/> <br/>Thank you, <br/>Johnny</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Austintribe.tribe.net">Austin</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I am looking for an alternative living situation (preferably a garage) - to rent on a month to month basis for 3-4 months while I am here. I am willing to pay 200-300 / mo for such a space, bills included - but will negotiate. I will only be in town for a season and thus am looking for a space with minimal obligation. I have a very minimal utility footprint. I am very clean. I seek a four-twenty friendly scene. I smoke, drink and cook. Most people have alot of fun living with me. I will camp out in your shed. <br/> <br/>Anyone who would be interested in making some very hippie arrangements to help me out, should contact me for more details. I am very good at assuring mutual symbiosis. Am very flexible - and love to compromise. <br/> <br/>Currently Staying on a love seat in my momma's living room, way north. Preferably would like to find a spot arround south first. <br/> <br/>Namaste~ <br/> <br/>j </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Austintribe.tribe.net">Austin</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>K, I tried to keep all my schtuff on one thread, but no one wrote back. I'm here! I'm staying with friend, we walked around Guadalupe and such. The searching for living space begins this week. If anyone wants to meet up for coffee or a drink, or knows of any subleases or sweet rentals I'd love to hear it! Or about anything fun or interesting. I do have a Chronicle and have spotted some finds. <br/> <br/>Also, my friend is looking for an acupuncturist, if anyone is/knows of a good one, pass it along :) <br/> <br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <br/>Also, tonight is a meeting for CreateAustin http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/culturalplan/ <br/> <br/>"The community is invited to discuss the key recommendations of the draft cultural plan on the evening of December 11." <br/> <br/>Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2007, 6 - 8:30 p.m. <br/>UT Thompson Conference Center Dining Hall <br/>2405 Robert Dedman Dr. (on SW corner of Dean Keeton and Red River Streets) <br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <br/>Is anyone here involved with this (or have heard of it?)

<div>Okay, here's the deal. <br/> <br/>I'm moving to Austin, and I'm very excited. This is my first move. I've traveled a lot and for extended periods, but this is my first Move. I'm from Tucson, which I love very much, but it's time to be somewhere I'm not grossly familiar with everything. <br/> <br/>I'm headed to Mexico for November and stopping in Austin on my way home. I will arrive on Dec. 8, and stay for a week to look for a place to rent. Fly home to get my stuff, come back and make a new home. Yay! <br/> <br/>I'm trying to decide if I should rent a car for my week trip. I do not plan on having a car while living there, but it might be nice to have while I'm searching around. I can budget to afford the rental, but it's extra expensive because I'm 24 and they charge $10-25 extra per day. Maybe I'll just rent a few days. How is parking and navigating? A car also determines if I
