Legacy Journal: Mother’s Day, Tessa’s 4th BD, and the Lilacs are Blooming in Highland Pk

Section:

Arts and Culture

Summary:

Erika Little, daughter Tessa, live in the Lilac Festival, Highland neighborhood so this May weekend is to be a perfect Trifecta trice celebrated



Main:





* First, Tessa Little is now officially four years old.  The California Princess has made the Rochester transition in style and is preping for KG in the Brighton School District in the Fall of 2009.  Meanwhile, she is continues to play the role of Emma's younger sister, best friend and student, cat tormentor, and non-stop asker of questions about how stuff works. 

** The Lilac Festival around the corner in Highland Park is in full bloom and the weekend music is swinging.  The opening parade with Strong Drum and Bugle Corps from the upstate region, is now history.

*** Meanwhile, Erika Little has earned the title Mother of the Year.  Relocating cross country from California, finding and updating the perfect house, guiding the kids, working at the URMC, in a Clinical Research Unit, and hosting guests and visitors is only part of the Little story of the past eight months.

The truth is, Mom’s tend to be the world’s most passionate warriors and best truth tellers.

Legacy Journal: Mormonism, Coal, and New Hampshire Polls

Section:

Politics

Summary:

“We live in the midst of alarms; anxiety beclouds the future; we expect some new disaster with each newspaper we read.” ---- Abe Lincoln.






Mitt Romney is drawing media attention in New Hampshire. One New Hampshire newspaper editorial has labelled him a phoney, a nytimes reporter, Noah Feldman, is compelled to ask provocative questions and then call attention to Mormon polygamy and the “ idiocycracy” of clean living by avoiding tobacco, caffeine and alcohol. Does he also consider the lack of gambling and lotteries in Utah (and Hawai) as troublesome as the Judaic kosher food tradition?  In addition, Romney is also enviromental “inconvenient”.  He calls for a national energy stategy that includes liquid coal, increasing the supply of heating oil by building refinery capacity, and investing in nuclear energy.  The voters of New Hampshire are concerned about the winter price and availability of fuel oil, and the future costs of electricity.



Main:

The good news is that the media, including the press, is much more restrained than in the political days of Lincoln and cartoonist Thomas Nast.  Journalism is also sophisticated, subtile, and scientific in the arts of advertising, influencing, and choice making

* For example, GMA today reported from New Hampshire on a mind mapping “truth” gizmo that records a graphic image of emotional responses to messages and images of events, products, and people.  Is this the new brave world of political “science”?

** One of the world’s most costly construction project will be done by a Canadian firm.  It is a gas pipeline from the north to the hub in Calgary, Alberta.

*** Meanwhile, fear mongering, narrow mindedness and group think is alive and well in the free, but not cheap, mass media.

Legacy Journal:  Resolution:  Take the Cure - Cut Consumption.

Section:

Environment

Summary:

“The broadest pattern of history - namely, the differences between human societies on different continents - seems to me to be attributable to differences among continental environments, and not to biological differences among peoples themselves.” ---- Jared Diamond

Jared Diamond, the popular non fiction author and today’s nytimes Op Ed Page Contributor, has a popular and long held view of the world, IE, Population Pressure, rising consumption expectations, and carbon fueled environmental pollution are associated with the cause and effect linked story of the rise and fall of cultures and civilizations.  The cycles of human history may be largely accidental, but also includes the adaptability and resourcefulness of preliterate “indigenous “ natives.

Currently a tenured UCLA emeritus professor of Geography and environmental health, the 70 year old Diamond has Bio-morphed from membrane cell biologist, to medical school physiologist, to amateur exotic topical birder, to amateur anthropologist, enthusiastic world traveler, to his current position.  His titles and awards are many.

Main:

In the times, Diamond states that currently, Europeans enjoy “a higher standard of living” and less consumption than the U.S. Does Diamond really believe that the EU has better institutions of Higher Education and BioMedical Research, a more accessible system of public education K-16, more choice and variety in public access to public lands, more affordable and greater choice in quality food, clothing and housing, a better job market, a lower rate of unemployment, a lower rate of interest and inflation, a lower tax burden, a more free media, a less restrictive immigration policy , ---- etc, etc.? 



: Meanwhile, life goes on. Have a ball in 2008.


:: In the mean time, It is 19 degrees on a bright mid day in Rochester, Rt 70 between Denver and the ski slopes has been cleared of snow, and storms in Iowa are welcoming the party watchers and participants from around the world to the caucus circus.


:::  40 % of possible Iowa caucus goer are said to be nonaffilicated independents 5% will be Republics crossing over at Democratic events. Even out of state students can work on a campaign, participate in an opinion poll, and register a legal primary vote all in one day.  Welcome to Iowa.

Legacy Journal: Monday Previews

Section:

FrontPage

Summary:

“Physicists like to think that all you have to do is say, these are the conditions, now what happens next?” --- Richard Feynman

* This morning, national ABC TV Weatherman Sam Champion was forecasting from snow storm central, Rochester, NY.  The area is 300% above normal snow fall for this date in the season.  One third of the normal seasonal quota has already been filled and winter has not officially started!  But, raw numbers can be misleading. At 0800 the sun was out and the sky was cloudless.  Some schools closed, others were open.  Folks were out to work, clearing, shoveling, plowing and shopping.

** During the last week, there was one day without a US troop death.  Is the surge working?  At the John Wooden Classic MBB in Indianapolis, Purdue hosted and defeated rated Louisville and Rich Patino while starting four freshmen.  Therefore, are rankings misleading?  Wooden is reported to have graduated 19th in his class at a time Purdue had 4,000 students.  His first job after graduation was as a classroom English teacher at a small high school.

*** Meanwhile, billions of dollars are being pledged to help jump start a new state of Palestine, new species have been discovered and described regularly in remote, barely explored places like the highlands of New Guinea, and the quality of life and the choices available has never been better for more people. 

Main:

Meanwhile, guilt, uncertainty, and fear continue, as usual.  Understanding positive parts of the three News Summaries are part of the antedote.

:  Above and below normal or average is common and not a cause for concern. Take the weather. Complex system events like winds, ocean currents, cloud formation, precipitation patterns and temperature variation are like many events in the natural world where change and chaos are in play. Predication and forecasting are difficult even with real time monitoring, massive computer modeling by the NWB, and constant updating of data.  General patterns do exist, but the action on the ground is usually very locale specific and novel. What is true in downtown Rochester, or next to Lake Ontario may well not apply a mile south over the hill in Brighton’s Summit Dr. neighborhood.  Furthermore, preliminary results reported by numbers like 1/3 d and 300% do not indicate trends that will continue for the remainder of the season.  The same is true of the early season non-conference road record of the basketball Cardinal team.

::  And that brings us to Coach Wooden and sport. To the best of my knowledge, he has never run for public office, been appointed to a position of power and privilege, lived a life of ease and luxury, or been paid for a product endorsement.  He has written a simple book of Wooden Wisdom.  So, what makes him and others different from many in the current Y generation?

:::  So, some critics and cynics focus on the failures of the past, others chose to travel the tough, slow, uncharted road to peace in the Middle East.  One such traveler is football fan, the U.S. Secretary of State, Dr. Condoleezza Rice.  Another person of character is the ant guy, E. O. Wilson.  He has written that fewer than 25% of the worlds species have been discovered, described, named, archived and studied. 

And finally, who can fail to be impressed by the demonstrated virtue of Charity and giving by the American public.
