Demographics and singles: clam bake on the East Coast, sausage ...

I am surprised by this data. I wonder if there where other factors explored too such as percentages of single v heterosexual relation v homosexual relationship and genders of gay couples?

We talked a bit about the differences in gay and lesbian settlement patterns about a year ago. We found that when a city has a high overall gay index according to the data on epodunk.com, the lesbian index will be inversely proportional to its population. A few examples:

Smaller cities with a large gay index:

Ithaca, NY
Gay index: 231
Gay male index: 143
Lesbian index: 322

Burlington VT:
Gay index: 184
Gay male index: 148
Lesbian index: 222

Davis CA:
Gay index: 133
Gay male index: 63
Lesbian index: 205

Eugene OR:
Gay index: 151
Gay male index: 97
Lesbian index: 206

Boulder CO:
Gay index: 138
Gay male index: 98
Lesbian index: 179

Ann Arbor MI:
Gay index: 156
Gay male index: 113
Lesbian index: 200

Madison WI:
Gay index: 183
Gay male index: 133
Lesbian index: 233

Iowa City IA:
Gay index: 142
Gay male index: 90
Lesbian index: 194

Larger cities with a large gay index:

Boston MA:
Gay index: 233
Gay male index: 285
Lesbian index: 178

Denver:
Gay index: 216
Gay male index: 249
Lesbian index: 183

Washington, DC
Gay index: 263
Gay male index: 380
Lesbian index: 143

Chicago, IL
Gay index: 157
Gay male index: 186
Lesbian index: 128

Houston, TX
Gay index: 150
Gay male index: 169
Lesbian index: 131

Dallas, Texas
Gay Index: 196
Gay Male Index: 254
Lesbian Index: 136

Atlanta, GA
Gay index: 299
Gay male index: 419
Lesbian index: 175

Minneapolis, MN
Gay index: 287
Gay male index: 309
Lesbian index: 263

My WAG to this phenomenon: lesbians may be more likely than gay men to be in established relationships, so being in a community with a large dating pool isn't as important. Also, culturally speaking, lesbians may connect better with the crunchy/outdoorsy environment found in smaller cities better than gay men.

The lesbian population here is so large, it's ... well, normal. You don't see rainbow flags everywhere. I frequently walk past SSMs taking place at the clerk's office, and it's just no big deal anymore. What's interesting is that they're all F/F.

The demographic mystery here is that lesbians can't account for the entire gender imbalance in the 50+ crowd.

No slashed budgets for SLO

San Luis Obispo has gained more revenue than expected from various taxes, putting it in good financial standing, according to city finance director Charles Bourbeau.

In a time where two California cities recently declared bankruptcy, San Luis Obispo is steering clear of financial trouble.

The San Luis Obispo City Council approved the city?budget?for the upcoming 2012-13 year on June 19, making this year the first in four years the city has made no cuts to the budget. Several factors, including?Measure Y taxes, a?Transient Occupancy Tax?and personal compensation reductions, allowed the city to reach this point, said Charles Bourbeau, the director of finance and information technology for San Luis Obispo.

It was not always like this for San Luis Obispo ? the city had to work at the budget to make it sustainable, City Council member John Ashbaugh said.

?We were all biting our fingernails, on the edge of our seats for a while,? Ashbaugh said.

Some of the solutions to the budget problems came from employees of the city voluntarily taking changes to their contracts, Ashbaugh said. He said all city employees, except the police, have agreed to the sustainability program consisting of personal compensation reductions, though the City Council is still negotiating with the police. It is hoping for a 6.8 percent compensation reduction from everywhere though, Ashbaugh said.

?We expect great things from our employees, and in general, they do (great things),? Ashbaugh said. ?Not only do they provide a job, but a public service. And they want to work hard to retain the good will from the public.?

In addition to cutting the budget, a few things have set San Luis Obispo apart from other cities, which could contribute largely to its good financial standing, Ashbaugh said.

One of these is the hard work of San Luis Obispo firefighters, Ashbaugh said. He said the city?s firefighters are always leaders in negotiating and ?set a standard? for other employees to follow suit in creating tremendous cost savings.

Another factor in San Luis Obispo?s financial solvency is the city?s tourism-orientated taxes. The Transient Occupancy Tax, or ?bed tax,? for hotels, as well as Measure Y taxes ? the 1/2 cent sales tax passed in November 2006 ? brought in a lot of money this year.

Bourbeau said a lot of that money came from the fact that the city is a nice tourist spot with plenty of places to shop and stay the night.

?It?s an attractive place to live and for people to come to,? Bourbeau said.

The next step in the equation for San Luis Obispo is to maintain existing infrastructure and all the enjoyable qualities of the city, Bourbeau said.

?(The previous budget cuts) set the stage for us to reach this point, to at least be stable,? he said. ?We need to be able to spend enough money to sustain infrastructure.?

According to Bourbeau, this year the city is devoting $5.9 million to capital improvements, though he said this is not enough.

?We would like to put $9 million a year into these improvements,? Bourbeau said. ?If you don?t maintain your roads, streets, buildings and equipment, they are going to fall apart later. And people aren?t going to be happy. You need to spend enough money to keep that from happening.?

Fortunately for some residents things are looking up.

San Luis Obispo resident, Colby Reece commutes an hour to work every week.

?I live in (San Luis Obispo) because I love it here,? Reece said. ?I work a week out at a time, and I get to just come here and live.?

The 23 year old said he feels the current financial situation of the city is more appealing for someone of his age.

?I want to settle down in (San Luis Obispo) and hopefully raise a family,? Reece said. ?Being nervous about jobs after college and money in general has always been a concern for me ? (but the city) is in such good shape. It?s just more incentive for me to stay here in the future.?

Arne Duncan To Report College Completion Rates Rise By Half A Percentage Point

The number of Americans with college degrees is inching up slowly, with about 100,000 more students holding post-secondary degrees in 2010 than the year before, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan plans to tell the National Governors Association's annual gathering in Williamsburg, Va., on Friday.

?Every capable, hard-working, and responsible student should be able to afford to go to college. That?s not a Democratic dream or a Republican one. It?s the American Dream,? Duncan will say, according to prepared remarks.

According to census data the Education Department will release in advance of Duncan's speech, the percentage of adults between the ages of 25 and 34 with a post-secondary degree increased half a percentage point from 38.8 percent in 2009 to 39.3 percent in 2010. These percentages of degree holders varied dramatically across states, ranging from 28.4 percent in Nevada to 68.8 percent in Washington, D.C.

As Duncan and President Barack Obama often note, the U.S. once had the world's highest college completion rate, but has since slipped to 16th. The Education Department billed the Friday speech and the data as showing that the U.S. is making progress toward its 2020 goal, Obama's aim of increasing the percentage of adults holding degrees to 60 percent by that year.

But the glacial pace revealed by the new data shows how unlikely reaching that mark may be. "It's not great news if we're trying to reach 60 percent by 2020, because at this rate we'll meet the 2020 goal in 2060," said Amy Laitinen, a New America Foundation higher education analyst who worked for the Obama administration until last year. "It clearly shows we need a concerted effort by federal and state governments to address this problem. We're moving too slowly."

The administration often refers to the 2020 goal as a "north star" that guides the development of all education policy. "It's not enough to say we have this goal if we don't have a solid plan for getting there," Laitinen said. "It's commendable that the administration has this goal but these data show us that Congress, the administration and governors need to figure out what tough choices they're going to make to help us reach our goals."

The Obama administration has focused on college affordability and completion, amping up the rhetoric that paints college attendance as a middle-class issue as Obama eased into campaign mode.

"We?ve made some progress, but the combination of deep state budget cuts and rising tuition prices is pushing an affordable college education out of reach for middle class families," Duncan will say Friday.

But it remains unclear whether the administration's college policies will come to fruition. In Obama's State of the Union address this year, he proposed a $1 billion Race to the Top competition to incentivize colleges to control their costs; a First in the World competition to spur innovation among colleges in boosting completion; and, more controversially, tying campus-based aid to measures such as graduation rates.

Six months later, Obama can't get funding for the Race to the Top and has received only $39 million in appropriations for First in the World. And Obama has done little so far to make colleges work for their financial aid awards. "It's tricky in an election year, because no one wants to upset institutions getting dollars that are already string free," Laitinen said. "We're hearing a lot more around voluntary actions for colleges to get better information out and be more transparent but we're not hearing about what the federal government will require institutions to do."

Forty states have cut funding for higher education over the past year, and public universities now charge students an average of 15 percent more than they did two years ago. These cuts add up, shaping a disturbing trend: Over the last 10 years, tuition cuts and other economic forces have prompted students and families to pay increasingly higher portions of the cost of college.

Duncan will use his platform at the National Governors Association's conference to discuss college affordability, Pell Grant funding and keeping federally subsidized Stafford loan interest rates from doubling. But even though that last fight raged in Congress, it only postponed the problem, as the rates are scheduled to double again next year. Yet, a few congressional offices are starting to discuss ways to make college more affordable, including that of Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa). Harkin's Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee will hold a hearing next week on ?Making College Affordability a Priority: Promising Practices and Strategies.?

According to a statement released to The Huffington Post, Harkin hopes the hearing will highlight the "many innovations taking place that we need to examine and scale up so our nation can retain its leadership and regain lost ground in this global, knowledge-based economy."

Taliban commander admits war cannot be won. What does that mean?

Taliban commander's comments, in interview with Afghan expert Michael Semple, suggest that Taliban might be ready for negotiation. But are the Taliban unified enough to act as one?

By Scott Baldauf,?Staff writer / July 11, 2012

In Afghanistan, the most misleading thing about using the term ?the Taliban? is the word ?the.?

Using the word ?the? suggests that there is a single entity called the Taliban, with a unified group of leaders who share common goals, devise strategies to reach those goals, and who recruit and manage a core of individual foot soldiers who implement those strategies.

Not to diminish the dangers faced by NATO and Afghan troops, but the entire point of guerrilla warfare is that small, loosely affiliated groups of insurgents can strike quickly, and then melt away into the countryside. If one group is neutralized, the rest of the ?organization? continues.

?The Taliban," like ?the Mujahideen" who fought the Soviet occupation, are often simply a collection of village militias of varying levels of training, discipline, and commitment. Many of them share common belief in the role of Sharia, or Islamic law, in daily life, and in theory, all may show their allegiance to a common leadership: the Quetta shura, including Taliban supreme leader Mullah Muhammad Omar, for instance. But all too often, that is where their common mission ends. Once an American or Afghan army unit leaves this valley for another one, many Taliban units go back to their day jobs of farming, herding sheep, and keeping shops in the local bazaar.

Mission accomplished, right?

It is with this in mind that I read excerpts of?an interview with a Taliban commander, conducted by the noted diplomat and Afghan expert Michael Semple. Mr. Semple, who has maintained backchannel contacts with Taliban leaders for more than a decade, published his interview in The New Statesman magazine.

One quote, attributed to a senior Taliban commander, identified by Semple as ?Mawlvi,? has attracted the most attention:

?It is in the nature of war that both sides dream of victory. But the balance of power in the Afghan conflict is obvious. It would take some kind of divine intervention for the Taliban to win this war. The Taliban capturing Kabul is a very distant prospect. Any Taliban leader expecting to be able to capture Kabul is making a grave mistake. Nevertheless, the leadership also knows that it cannot afford to acknowledge this weakness. To do so would undermine the morale of Taliban personnel. The leadership knows the truth ? that they cannot prevail over the power they confront.?

This is a remarkable statement, a rare sign of doubt or realism from a group that is generally given to boasting.

At least 95 killed in Nigeria tanker truck fire

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) ? A tanker truck caught fire and exploded in Nigeria on Thursday shortly after breaking down, killing at least 95 people who then rushed to the scene to scoop fuel, an official said.

At least 50 others were injured in the incident in the oil-rich southern Niger Delta region, said Rivers State spokeswoman Ibim Semenitari.

Despite decades as an oil producing region, the majority of those living in the Delta remain desperately poor and mostly without access to proper medical care, education or work. Anger over the situation on several occasions has driven young people to attack foreign oil firms based there and steal fuel from pipelines.

Yushau Shuaib, a spokesman for the West African country's emergency management agency, said the 95 people were killed in the explosion as they ran to the truck to take fuel.

The truck accident took place near Okogbe town in the Niger Delta ? a region of swamps, mangroves and creeks roughly the same size as South Carolina. The cause was not immediately known, although fatal crashes are common in Nigeria where decades-old roads are normally pitted with potholes and drivers frequently fail to observe traffic laws. Moreover, corruption often hinders or slows down road maintenance projects.

Environmental activist Nnimmo Bassey, however, was quick to blame the truck's accident on country's notoriously bad roads.

"This tells a tragic story about the state of national infrastructure and the poverty of the people," said Bassey.
