David, Viddle, Marvin, Gerry, Mira (absent: Lauren, Mr. G., Ellen)
At the Table: David Rosenberg, Ellen Bierhorst, Viddle, Mira Rodwan, Marvin Kraus, Gerry Kraus, Lauren Hanisian, Mr. G.,
Discussion of The Bridge, biography of Barack Obama by David Remnick. ... The autobioographty of Malcolm X. parallels with the independent food distribution network movement.
Mira: Funny times ... Article by Swami Beyondananda. See www.wakeuplaughing.com
Marvin: the zoo last night celebrated 100+ years of the Cincinnati Opera. They had singers. It was coordinated with zoo animals. Thane Maynard was marvelous. In the middle of a duet there was a peacock shriek. Keep in touch with what goes on at the zoo.
Gerry: and they have gone green. Carl Graham is volunteering at the zoo now. Beside every trash bin is a recycling bin. They are working on recycling the animal manure, a huge quantity. ...
Marvin: and they are restricting plastic plates etc.
Gerry: Yvonne VanEijden is working on a project at Carnegie Arts Center. Stay tuned.
Mr. G: I have a topic: I heard on Diane Rehm, an Obama spokesperson. About electric cars: there has been pooh poohing because they depend on coal produced power. But with a gas car, you still burn fuel standing still or driving slowly. But an electric car is super efficient; none used when standing still.
David: the answer depends on what you want to maximize. If you want to max. efficiency don't burn one kind of fuel to make another: if yu burn fossil fuel to create electrical energy to run a car, then you are transforming mater twice. Every time you transform (i.e. Coal to electricity to battery) you lose efficiency.
Mr. G. let's reframe the question. The point is not how many energy transformations there are. The question should be about pollution vs. mobility. ... I never before thought that the electric car might be a far better use of energy.
Gerry: the real answer is mass transit. ... More of that in Europe.
ANOTHER TOPIC
Gerry:
I heard the psychiatrists are no longer doing psychotherapy. ...
Ellen: the psychiatrists prescribe the psychoactive drugs; psychologists and counselors and social worker do the psychotherapy. ... I have many clients who see me but also are on anti- depressants or other psycho-pharmaceuticals.
Gerry: we live in the Kingston House off Wm. H. Taft and we got there to be a little garden plot in the yard. We grow tomatoes and zucchini and peppers. ... The chemical co. Hilton Davis had a big fire.
...
David: ... The anonymous publication of 1300 names and addresses of "illegal immigrants" in Utah, given to the press. Unknown where they got the information. The reporter speculated someone tapped a gov't database... The information is probably accurate; my hunch.
Marvin: I think it is a Mormon plot to get rid of people whose genealogy can't be traced; they want to save souls. The Mormons are clean cut; except some still believe in polygamy.
They proselytize for a year or so when they are teenagers.
David: there was a law that was broken if government information was taken and publicized.
Marvin: if you are in this country illegally, you are breaking the law and the public has a right to know that you have broken the law.
Mr. G. This is interesting. Whistle blower law. Does the government have a right to keep secret the information about illegal persons.
David: the immigration laws are not being enforced. Many people have complained.
Marvin: the government doesn't want the people to know they are not doing their job.... Iceland is trying to restore their economy by being a haven for Free Press.
Viddle: new program in the arts, LXD. Parcor, the art of escape, young men leap from the roofs of tall buildings to the next ones. Very exciting. The positive element: a whole new genus of physical activity. It is like the people who come to the US to escape their native country.
David: an interesting change since Obama was sworn in is how the minimal enforcement against illegal immigration has changed. Formerly, you'd do a raid. Lock the doors at a big meat packer; ... That was Bush.
Obama administration writes letters to companies saying that "we've noticed numer of your employees don't have documentation." Then those companies fire the undocumented workers.
It is much more efficient. It gets the job done.
This whole problem could have been forestalled thirty years ago if the gov't had gone after the employers. ... The government does not collect taxes; the employers do it for them.
...
If independent contractors work for an employer, it enables the employer to side step the whole "green card" issue.
Ellen: many illegals pay taxes. They have social security numbers.
Marvin: anyone can get a social security number w/o any documentation.
Mira: the people prefer to be called "undocumented workers". Not illegals.
?
David: the problem I see is that one of the ways global capitalism rapes the populace is by devising ways to make laborers join a "race to the bottom". Hire the cheapest labor. ... What would happen in all the farms and sweat shops if we only had documented leagl workers? Crops would rot? No. Labor would go up; price of goods would go up. ...
If we have 10% unemployment and 10% illegal workers, and if we kick out the illegals, then we would have no unemployment and the cost of labor would go up.
...
Marvin: it is illegal to pay any worker less than minimum wage.
David:... If you don't put controls on immigration the economy would be overwhelmed with immigrants.
Mr. G: some progressives would say to keep out immigration until we have no unemployment.
David: picking cotton is a perfect example of the problem of capitalism. In the 1800's the cheapest way to pick your cotton was slaves. ... Now there have been invented mechanical cotton pickers. A different allocation of capital. Living wage now being paid to the machine operators. So given a lack of regulation, capitalists will go to the lowest solution regardless of the cost to humane values. So they must be regulated.
Should we control immigration or just let everyone in? Big businesses using illegal labor can make more money.
Today, news story: big business are sitting on trillions of dollars, at the same time that small businesses, the engine of our economy, cannot get capital, cannot get loans to run their businesses and expand. The reason given? "Confidence". I think it is because of the regulations reforms that the administration is enacting, like health care and financial industry regulation.
A labor force that is larger than the economy can absorb puts a downward pressure on wages.
? ... Most progressives wan to let lots of people into the country, and to make the undocumented workers legal.
Gerry: the president wants immigration reform but the congress doesn't go along.
Marvin: what if we let anyone who wanted to into the country and to have citizenship. Does that entitle you to partake of all the services and rights of citizens? Public education, social security, etc. Welfare programs.
If you cannot get a job.
David: we do have a guest worker program, on the books for decades.
Viddle: it was to bring in Indian computer programers, cheaper than Americans.
Marvin: what if you say Anyone who comes in can have citizenship as long as y ou are employed? I'd like to figure out a solution to this problem of illegal immigrants to fill jobs we need.
(out of time.)... ( see below in Announcements the Kraus' recommendation about the Proposed Public Regional Water District... A very BAD IDEA to sell the city's Water Works, which is a goose that lays golden eggs.)

SECTION TWO: ACTIVITIES, OPPORTUNITIES
Scott Seeborg to speak at Salon next week.
Hello Ellen,
Scott Seeborg here, thanks again for taking the time to talk with me this evening. It's so important we get the message out there in the community, and we couldn't do it without you.
I checked my events calendar and much to my chagrin I have a house party scheduled in Spring Grove that night from 7 till 9, and I wouldn't dare (or want to) cut out of your group early. Would it work with your schedule to move it to the next Wednesday 7/21/2010? I apologize for the inconvenience.
I would love to speak to your group about what issues are "hidden between the lines" in the upcoming elections. Hamilton Co. and greater Ohio have the historic opportunity to keep the state blue for two consecutive election cycles. This has not happened since 1932-34.
We have both national and local issues hanging in the balance, with outcomes to be determined by the electorate this fall. Learn how this election will shape both Ohio's future, the future of our nation, and how your involvement can and will play a part in the results.
I'm excited to come out and meet you and the group. Please let me know if this schedule change works for you and if there is anything else I can get for you. Below is information about the upcoming community actions. Folks can feel free to get in touch with me directly with questions.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Scott
Things happening soon in your area:

Worlds of Wonder and Whimsy
Studio Exhibition & Friday evening musical performance
Friday evening, July 16*
FREE
(Our host will be collecting donations for the musicians)
*Art gallery is also open for viewing on Thursday and Saturday. See below for details.
The Art
Beginning Thursday, July 15, 2010, through Saturday, July 17, 2010 at the Studio of Mary Barr Rhodes, 424 Findlay Street Studio 2B, Cincinnati, OH 45214, a world of whimsical fairy tales, vivid color and South Indian ritual art inspired patterns will come to life. Independent visual artists, Tom Towhey, Mary Barr Rhodes and Radha come together to create an atmosphere of wide-eyed wonder and whimsy.
The Music
Nyeemah and I have been exploring the natural synergy and "magic" (as it is so frequently labeled by our listeners) of our combined music for just over a year. In this event, we put special attention on the element of playfulness, which naturally emerged as soon as went to check out the studio's performance space.
Join us on Friday evening, 8:00 - 10:00 pm. I will open the musical portion of the evening with a brief tabla solo, played in the Indian classical tradition—a poetic-rhythmic invocation. Nyeemah will add her Native American and Asian flutes as we continue the evening with our meditative, playful, and celebratory compositions and improvisations.
There will be room for sitting and for dancing. You choose!

World Choir Games entry from Cincinnati !
Come hear them on Sunday, July 18 at 4:00pm at St. John's Unitarian Universalist Church.
Dear Martin Luther King Chorale Singers,
I wish you cool breezes and moderate temperatures as we happily suffer hot, humid, sizzling summer days in the Queen City (and everywhere...)!
Rehearsals will commence in early November. But in the meantime, please join us for our Bon Voyage concert as SingCinnati! goes off to China. You will recognize many people. Josh and Linda O'Neal, Lois Shegog, Steve Milloy, and others who have sung with the MLKing Chorale. Kanniks for those of you who sang Shanti, and MUSE members who have joined the Chorale.
We go to represent Cincinnati. Mayor Mark Mallory will accept the World Choir Games Peace Bell in Shaoxing China and bring it to Cincinnati. The World Choir Games
will happen in Cincinnati in July 2012. Shall we compete for Gold in the Spirituals or Gospel category?
Please come. A free will offering will be taken because we have had all of our rehearsals at St. John's at no cost; we hope to thank them with our proceeds.
Rehearsals for our 20th year will begin Tuesday, November 9 at 7:00 at the House of Joy.
Come listen to SingCincinnati! on Sunday, July 18 at 4:00pm at St. John's Unitarian Universalist Church.

PUBLIC MEETING ON PROPOSED PUBLIC REGIONAL WATER DISTRICT
The Kraus' have explained to us that this is actually the short-sighted plan to sell off the water works in order to raise money for the city to pay operating expenses. It is like eating your seed corn in lean times; then you have nothing to plant come spring.
The issue is that revenue from the water works, which has always been owned by the city, may not be used for anything but the utility itself, by state law. As councilwoman Leslie Ghiz has said, a solution would be to change that state law! (We don't often agree with Ms. Ghiz.)
The public meeting will be Wed. July 28 at 6 pm in the Cintas Center, XU(1624 Herald Ave). Details: http://www.cincinnatiwater.org
We urge you to attend and speak out against selling the water works. It is like killing and eating the goose that lays golden eggs!
Memorial for (salonista) Joan Friedland (February 6, 1936 to June 20, 2010) will be held on Saturday, July 31, 2010, 2pm at Clifton United Methodist Church, 3416 Clifton Avenue (45220).
Beloved daughter of the late Isidore & Esther Friedland, she is survived by loving family, friends and colleagues. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to the charity of one's choice would be appreciated.
Joan Friedland had a PhD in biochemistry and taught at the State University of New York in Brooklyn before making a mid-life career change to public health. After receiving a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology at the University of California at Los Angeles, she moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, to work at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Joan was one of the pioneers in the NIOSH worker notification program, where she developed notification materials for industry-wide studies. She also collaborated on studies on biological markers and occupational cancer.
Despite a diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer shortly after her 1998 retirement from NIOSH, Joan continued her lifelong work for a better world and contributed substantially, both financially and actively, to many causes such as EarthSave Cincinnati; the ENVIRONMENT: Sierra Club, Imago, Environmental Community Organization (ECO), Union of Concerned Scientists; HEALTH: Action on Smoking and Health, Breast Cancer Action, The Wellness Community, UCLA School of Public Health; COMMUNITY: League of Women Voters, Woman's City Club; NATURE: Highlands Nature Sanctuary, Highland Cemetery Nature Trails, Western Wildlife Corridor, ORGANIC GARDENING/SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE: Grailville Community Supported Agriculture Project; PEACE/JUSTICE: Intercommunity Justice and Peace Center; VEGAN FOOD: The Loving Café, Love Force Raw Foods, World Peace Jubilee; ANIMALS: Animals, People and the Earth (APE), Cincinnati Zoo; WOMEN: Older Women's League; WORKERS: American Federation of Government Employees Local 3840; and YOUTH: Cincinnati Youth Collaborative, Easter Seals Work Resource Center; MUSIC: Cincinnati Symphony, Cincinnati Opera, Cincinnati Ballet. Despite her quiet demeanor, Joan was passionate about her causes. She initiated a successful campaign to ban smoking in Cincinnati outdoor stadiums years before the Ohio ban on smoking in public places.
Joan attributed her remarkable 12 year breast cancer survival to her vegetarian diet and exercise. Her friends, who are grateful for those extra years, remember her love of music, her joy in sharing limericks, and her delight in her feline companions. In her last months, Joan enjoyed the Cincinnati Ballet, asked about tickets to La Boheme, and collected signatures for a state ballot initiative to protect farms animals. Joan practiced tai chi faithfully and went to her tai chi class the day she entered hospice care. Joan's friends and colleagues will miss her lovely smile, her gracious manner, and her dauntless spirit.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to the charity of one's choice would be appreciated.
If you have any questions, please phone 513-591-3003 any day before 7pm.

Wickedly clever and
highly entertaining
British commercials & PSAs
If you enjoyed CWC's Oscar Shorts, ShortsFest or Lunafest presentations, then this event was made for you! The British Television Advertising Awards (BTAA) is a juried collection of the best made-in-the-UK adverts for worldwide television, cinema and Internet.
These are not U.S. commercials.
In the U.K., people don't mind buying, but they do not want to be pushily subjected to a hard sell. With that distinction in mind, the Brits design their ads to be charming, induce a smile, trigger emotions and create rapport.
Most easily defined as a compilation of short films, the program melds common themes of misdirection, a bit of sex, reverse psychology, and a lot of humor into one highly creative and entertaining package. The program also includes several powerful and thought-provoking British public service announcements.
Why do thousands of people turn out to see the BTAA program when it screens in New York, Los Angeles and a handful of other markets? "It's got something for everyone," says Dean Otto, assistant curator for film and video at the Walker in Minneapolis, where last year 20,000 patrons attended 50 sold-out screenings. "Anglophiles love it for a different look at British culture. But filmgoers in general are interested because of its variety."
Variety and content are key elements - view a sample here. These award-winning ads and PSAs are little movies that tell stories -- using drama, comedy and suspense and a liberal dose of British humor.
Frequently, the advertiser's identity is not revealed until the final seconds, and part of the fun is to figure out exactly what product is involved.

Advertisement: Try the Alexander Technique
FREE Alexander Technique Practice session every Sunday 3:00 – 4 at the Lloyd House. Open to all.
Ellen Bierhorst Ph.D. ~ Alexander Technique ~ http://www.lloydhouse.com ~ 513 221 1289 ~ Cincinnati
I am having a blast here in my first year of teaching the Alexander Technique! Unbelievably, a full calendar since the launch of my practice in late June. This winter I was having so much demand formy lessons that I had to stop advertising and ask some well-progressing students to drop back to twice a month instead of weekly lessons. Now that spring is finally here I am feeling more energetic and again am daring to reach out to more folks.
Fantastic fee deal (limited time only): First lesson free; second through 4th lessons only $10. After that, only $40/lesson if you buy a package of 4 at a time, prepaid. * The "real fee" is $78 per lesson. I am interested in "turning on" as many people as possible to this wonderful learning. Good for pain, for performance improvement in the arts, atheltics, ... And finally, good for personal development. It has definite geriatric benefit as well.
You can read about my own experiences and find links to other sites here:

Call and make an appointment or to discuss it with me. 513 221 1289.
........
* However, it is my commitment to adjust fees for anyone truly wanting lessons who cannot afford even this modest fee. Try it and see. Ellen

Dan LaBotz running for Senate, socialist ticket
Do you know about Dan La Botz and his campaign for the U.S. Senate in Ohio? I think this is a really important thing. He's talking about creating jobs, dealing with the environmental crisis, and about ending the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. He has been an activist for civil rights and he supports civil rights and equality for all. He thinks the Republicans and Democrats can't deal with these things, and I think he's right. Check out his website atDanLaBotz.com and his Facebook page Dan La Botz, Socialist for Senate.

ARTICLES AND LETTERS
George Lakoff: help progressives frame the message
Good example of progressive framing.
Lakoff needs to give us more such examples based on key issues.
Why do conservatives seem to frame more easily than progressives?
Is it in the nature of the frame that the punitive father is served more advantageously than the nuturing parent?
Jeanne Nightingale (and also Mr. G.)
