#Saint Louis San Francisco
Text
The Sunset Valley had a visitor. Shenanigans ensued.
SLSF 12 now has a sound decoder on order, and will get extra weight when that gets installed. A few more tweaks and she'll be a great little worker.
The shenanigans got SP 5103 some exercise, with emphasis on blowing the cobwebs out. She's now on the list to get a rework and updates so she can finally do the work she was meant to do.
Everyone needs a tonner. They're too much fun.

SUNDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO: “When The Saints Go Marching In” live w/The Maryknoll Fathers & Brothers & Friends https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YvRavPFptM ...Most people know the first 3 verses of this song, but the full version (8+ verses and 2 refrains) is a chronology from The Book of Revelation. I learned it refrains and all, and it’s a blast to do!
Refrain 2: “Some say this world of trouble, is the only world we need, but I’m waiting for that morning, when the new world is revealed…”
“Saints” rose out of a 19th Century mist of hymn writers and black spiritual singers, possibly inspired by a 15th Century painting by Fra Angelico, “Forerunners of Christ With Saints & Martyrs.” The lyrics envision end-times judgment, promising freedom from the horrors of ecological blight and corruption, leading to a fulfillment of love and destiny. One of my favorite lines: “When our leaders learn to cry, when our leaders learn to cry, well I want to be in that number, when our leaders learn to cry.”
Early versions were usually slow and stately, gaining tempo over time. In 1938 Louis Armstrong put the New Orleans spark on it, making it a standard around the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YvRavPFptM

by u/Josman_
The state name etymologies are:
- Aguascalientes: from Spanish 'aguas calientes' (lit. 'hot waters'). Named after the abundance of hot springs in the region.
- Baja California and Baja California Sur are named after California, a golden mythical land inhabited by Amazon women led by Queen Calafia in the 16th century novel "Las Sergas de Espandián" by Garcí Rodríguez de Montalvo. The name California derives from caliph, it means "Land of the caliph".
- Campeche comes from Yucatec 'kan peech' (lit. 'snakes and ticks').
- Chiapas comes from Náhuatl 'chiapan' (lit' 'chia river', the Aztec name for the Grijalva river).
- Chihuahua has a disputed origin, although it is more likely that it comes from the Concho language, an extinct Uto-Aztecan language. Its meaning is unknown.
- Coahuila comes from Coahuiltec 'coayla' (lit. 'inland'). Originally, it referred to the Monclova Valley.
- Colima comes from Náhuatl 'colimān'. Likely named after Colimotl, the ruler of the Kingdom of Colima at the time of Spanish contact. Its meaning is debated.
- Durango is named after Durango, Spain, hometown of Basque conquistador Francisco de Ibarra (founder of the state's capital). From Basque 'urangoa', formed by 'ur' (water) and angio (valley): 'water valley'.
- Guanajuato comes from Purépecha 'quanax huato' (lit. 'frog hill').
- Guerrero is named after Vicente Guerrero, Mexican Independence War hero. The surname Guerrero means "warrior" in Spanish.
- Hidalgo is named after Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, father of the Mexican Independence War. The surname Hidalgo means 'noble man' (noble as in "member of nobility") in Spanish.
- Jalisco is named after the prehispanic Kingdom of Xālisco. From Náhuatl 'xālisco' (lit. 'sandy place').
- México comes from Náhuatl 'mēxihco' (lit. 'place of the Mexica'). Named after the Mexica, one of the three peoples that formed the Aztec Empire and the rulers of Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco. The meaning of Mēxihca is debated.
- Michoacán comes from Náhuatl 'michhuahcān' (lit. 'place of fishers'), the Aztec name for the Purépecha Empire, who were known for having a lot of fish since the region has abundant lakes and rivers.
- Morelos is named after José María Morelos y Pavón, Mexican Independence War hero. The surname Morelos derives from moro (Spanish for 'moor').
- Nayarit comes from Cora 'Na'áyeri' (lit. 'place of Na'ayarij'). Na'ayarij, Cora chief at the time of Spanish arrival. His name means "Son of the sun and sky god".
- Nuevo León means 'New León'. It is named after the Kingdom of León in Spain. León comes from Latin 'legion' (lit. 'legion').
- Oaxaca comes from Náhuatl 'huāxyacac' which means 'in the nose of the huaje tree'.
- Puebla is the femenine of Spanish 'pueblo' (lit. 'town').

- Quintana Roo is named after Andrés Quintana Roo, Mexican Independence War hero. The surname Quintana comes from Spanish; a quintāna is a Roman country camp where people used to trade goods. The surname Roo comes from the Galician town of San Xoán de Roo; its meaning is unknown.
- San Luis Potosí takes the name of its capital city, which is named after Saint Louis and Potosí, one of the wealthiest mines in the Spanish Empire, located in modern-day Bolivia. The name Potosí comes from Quechua 'p'otoj' and it means 'thunderous noise'. The city was named after the wealthy mines of Potosí due to the abundance of silver in the region, like those of Potosí.
- Sinaloa comes from Mayo 'sina lobola' (lit. 'round pitaya').
- Sonora comes from the mispronounciation of señora ('lady' in Spanish). The Yaqui Valley was originally called Valle de Nuestra Señora de las Angustias (Valley of Our Lady of Anguish), named after the catholic image brought by Diego de Guzmán, one of the first conquistadors to arrive in Sonora. Since the local population couldn't pronounce the word señora correctly, it morphed into sonora eventually. Hence, the Province of Valle de la Señora became known as Province of Valle de la Sonora.
- Tabasco is named after Taabscob, the ruler of the Putún Kingdom. His name means 'eight lions' in Chontal (possibly refering to a native big cat).
- Tamaulipas comes from Huastec 'tamholipa' (lit. 'place of praying').
- Tlaxcala comes from Náhuatl 'tlaxcallān' (lit. 'place of tortillas'). However, the name Tlaxcala is a deformation of 'texcallān' which means 'place of crags'. It is named after the Tlaxcaltec Kingdom.
- Veracruz comes from Spanish 'vera cruz' (lit. 'true cross').
- Yucatán comes from Yucatec 'yuk ak'atán' which means 'i don't understand you'. The most common version behind this place name is that when Cortés arrived to the Yucatán peninsula, he asked the locals for the name of their land. The native Mayan population did not speak Spanish, so they told him "i don't understand you" which Cortés interpreted as the name of the land.
- Zacatecas comes from Náhuatl 'zacatecatl' which is a demonym used for 'people from Zacatlan', Zacatlan meaning 'place of grass'. Zacatecatl is the Nahua name for the Zacateco people, who inhabited the modern-day state. The name refers to the dry steppes that are commonly found in the region.

Gerhard Richter, Abstraktes Bild, 1987. Oil on canvas, in 2 parts, each 102 3/8 x 78 7/8 in.
Total overall dimensions 102 3/8 in. x 157 3/4 in.
NEW YORK, NY.- Phillips presented the star lot of the fall auction season – Gerhard Richter’s exceptional Abstraktes Bild. Painted in 1987 and comprised of two large-scale panels, the work is over thirteen feet wide and nearly nine feet tall, making this one of the largest works from Richter’s oeuvre to ever be offered at auction. Following a tour to Taipei and Hong Kong, the monumental painting will be exhibited in New York in the lead up to the Evening Sale of 20th Century & Contemporary Art, where it will be offered with an estimate available upon request.
Jeremiah Evarts, Deputy Chairman, Americas, Senior International Specialist, 20th Century & Contemporary Art, said, “A towering example from the most significant body of work in Richter’s career to date, we are honored to present Abstraktes Bild as the cornerstone of our fall auction season. Bearing extraordinary exhibition history, the significance of this painting’s place in the artist’s oeuvre cannot be overstated. The work was first exhibited at Durand-Dessert, Paris in 1988. A decade later, it was shown at the prestigious Carnegie International, a sign of the work’s enduring ability to represent Richter’s artistic output of the 1980s, arguably the most important decade of his career. With the market for similar paintings by Richter from this period finding homes in some of the most prestigious collections across the globe, we look forward to presenting this remarkable work to Phillips’ community of collectors.”
Abstraktes Bild displays Richter’s virtuosity in abstraction and his inimitable talent as a colorist. With Richter’s unique use of the squeegee, a tool he began using for abstract work just one year prior, the artwork captures the movement of the artist's body through the painting process. Painted shortly after the artist moved away from his figurative, photo-based painting, Abstraktes Bild reveals the explosive power, depth of color, and emotional resonance that would distinguish Richter as one of the most profound abstract painters of his generation.
Besides the present work, there is only one other Abstraktes Bild created in 1987, of similarly epic scale, which resides in the Museu Coleção Berardo, Lisbon. Similar Abstrakte Bilder from 1986 to 1989 – Richter’s most desirable period – populate esteemed public and private collections around the world, including those of The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Ergo Versicherungsgruppe AG, Düsseldorf; Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional, São Paulo; Carré d’Art, Nîmes; Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart; the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; and the Saint Louis Art Museum, which owns the iconic November, Dezember, Januar paintings of 1989.

This is the time of year when the U.S. Census Bureau publishes its latest data on poverty in the United States, and headlines are presenting a mixed picture. One set of survey results found that the overall number of people living in poverty in 2022 was relatively unchanged from the last two years. In contrast, another survey found that America’s child poverty rate doubled between 2021 and 2022, largely due to the post-pandemic expiration of an expanded child tax credit. The divergent results reflect the fact that the Census Bureau measures poverty in more than one way.
Neither of these results, however, sheds much light on where poverty is rising, falling, or staying the same, and who is most affected. Ten years ago, our book, “Confronting Suburban Poverty in America,” chronicled the rapid rise of poverty in the nation’s suburbs during the 2000s. We showed the challenges the shifting geography of poverty posed for low-income Americans’ ability to access safety net services, transportation, and jobs.
Now, the Census Bureau’s latest American Community Survey (ACS)—another set of data that often flies under the public radar—offers an updated look at the landscape of poverty in 2022. After a long run of economic growth in the 2010s and more than two years into a post-pandemic economic recovery, what does the geography of poverty in America look like today?
The nation’s suburbs accounted for the majority of increases in the poor population following the onset of the pandemic
Of that 1.5 million person increase in Americans living below the poverty line, more than 60% occurred in suburbs. The U.S. is a suburban nation—more people live in suburbs (47%) than in cities (21%), small and midsized metro areas (18%), or rural areas (14%).1 And between 2019 and 2022, the poor population in major metropolitan suburbs grew three times as fast as in major cities (6% versus 2%). Major metro areas in the West (e.g., Ogden, Utah and San Francisco), South (e.g., Washington, D.C. and Houston), and Midwest (e.g., St. Louis and Minneapolis-Saint Paul) posted double-digit percentage increases in their suburban poor populations over this period. (See the appendix for detailed data.)
Fewer suburbs experienced falling poverty rates than cities
As urban and suburban poor populations increased, so did poverty rates (the share of the total population living below the poverty line) in both large cities and their surrounding suburbs. In 2022, roughly one in 10 suburban residents lived in poverty (9.6%), compared to about one in six in primary cities (16.2%). Those rates represented increases of less than half a percentage point over 2019 (0.3 percentage points for suburbs and 0.4 percentage points for large cities).
Over this same period, 25 major metro areas posted statistically significant increases in their suburban poverty rates, and 25 saw significant increases in their urban poverty rates. Only six metro areas had increases in both their urban and suburban poverty rates: Chicago, Detroit, Houston, New York, Ogden, Utah, and San Francisco. As our colleague William H. Frey has shown, several of these metro areas shed both city and suburban population during the 2019-2022 pandemic period.
In contrast, 19 major metro areas saw their urban poverty rates decline between 2019 and 2022, led by Grand Rapids, Mich., Buffalo, N.Y., and Knoxville, Tenn. But only 12 major metro areas posted statistically significant declines in their suburban poverty rates following the pandemic. By and large, those declines reflected overall (non-poor) population growth rather than declines in the number of people living in poverty; no major metro area registered a statistically significant decline in its suburban poor population over this period. For example, the total number of residents in Provo, Utah’s suburbs grew by 13% between 2019 and 2022. That rapid population growth, even as the region’s poor population remained statistically unchanged, led Provo’s suburban poverty rate to fall by 2.2 percentage points.
America continues to confront suburban poverty
A year after the release of “Confronting Suburban Poverty in America,” we wrote that recovery from the Great Recession “did not hit the reset button” on the landscape of poverty. By 2014, the worst effects of the recession had receded, yet the shift of poverty toward the nation’s suburbs had not. The same remains true in the wake of the pandemic recession. Whatever trajectory U.S. poverty follows in the coming years, it’s increasingly clear that the “new geography of poverty” we chronicled a decade ago is here to stay.
Much of our book detailed the challenges of addressing this geography of poverty when so much key infrastructure—such as policies targeted to low-income communities, the social service capacity for deploying key work supports, and the transportation networks that shape access to employment opportunities—historically has been concentrated in urban areas. We articulated the need for more cross-jurisdictional strategies that could grapple with the regional scale at which major metropolitan labor and housing markets function.
For all the economic pain it wrought, the COVID-19 pandemic also induced a massive federal response to alleviate need at the local level. Counties, cities, and towns of all sizes—including thousands in suburban America—received direct aid to help workers, households, and students whose lives the pandemic upended. While that aid was time-limited, it surely opened more suburban leaders’ eyes to the hardships many of their residents continue to face even after the emergency has subsided.
Sustaining efforts to address economic hardship once pandemic-era federal funding runs dry will take creativity, collaboration, and commitment in the face of competing priorities. But as the latest data makes clear, American poverty remains a growing suburban challenge, and solutions to overcome it must take root there as well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Eve Babitz, Senta Berger, Richard Brooks (The Impressions), Joe Brown, Buckethead, Gil Evans, the 1848 debut of “Maamme” the Finnish national anthem, Carolyn Franklin, Red Garland, Alison Goldfrapp, Keith Hartsell, David Hollestelle (Herman Brood & His Wild Romance), Harvey Keitel, Rashford Kings, Danny Kirwan, Joe Louis, Michael Madden (Maroon 5), Magic Dick, Lou Marini, Daphne du Maurier, Beverley Owen, Robert Pattinson, Witold Pilecki, Teddy Randazzo, guitarist/bandleader Carmen Ratti, Dennis Rodman, the 1966 UK “Paint it Black” 45 by The Rolling Stones, Darius Rucker, Arthur Sullivan, Buck Taylor, one of my Top 10 all-time favorite drummers Paul Thompson (Roxy Music), Ritchie Valens, Pete Overend Watts (Mott the Hoople), Mary Wells, Lari White, Stevie Wonder, and the 1938 Louis Armstrong recording of “When the Saints Go Marching In.” Most people know the first 3 verses, but the full version (8+ verses and 2 refrains) is a chronology from The Book of Revelation. Satchmo’s recording of it imbedded it permanently into mainstream culture. There is no “official” version of the song, and the current lyrics (sung by Satch) are “the modern version.” The song rose out of a mist of hymn writers and black spiritual singers, theoretically inspired by a 15th Century painting by Fra Angelico. The lyrics envision end-times judgment with a promise of freedom from the horrors of ecological blight and corruption, fulfilled in a destiny of love. One of my favorite lines: “When our leaders learn to cry, when our leaders learn to cry, well I want to be in that number, when our leaders learn to cry.” Early versions of the song were usually slow and stately. Satchmo put the New Orleans spark on it and made it a standard around the world. Here’s my take, joined by lively folks at a party... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YvRavPFptM

Plant foods could slow the progression of prostate cancer, study finds
A recent study from San Francisco suggests that increasing the consumption of vegetables, fruits and grains could help slow the progression of prostate cancer.
This research, involving 2,000 men diagnosed withprostate cancer , reveals thatthose who adopted a primarily plant-based diet saw their risk of disease progression decrease by 47%. This observation is based on the follow-up of these men foran average of 6.5 years after their diagnosis. Participants who favored plant-based foods experienced a significant reduction in the risk of disease progression, compared to those consuming fewer of these foods.
According to Vivian Liu, study coordinator at the University of California, this increased protection was achieved without the need to become a strict vegetarian . Simply consume 8 servings of fruits, vegetables or whole grains daily, while maintaining around 4 servings of meat, eggs or dairy products.
The benefits of this plant-based diet lie in the vitamins and minerals it contains . These nutrients stimulate the immune system, have an anti-inflammatory action and act as a shield against the transformation and multiplication of cancer cells.
On the other hand, foods of animal origin can have harmful effects on health. Indeed, toxic substances generated when cooking meat at high temperatures , such as heterocyclic amines , as well as a compound found in dairy products called IGF1, can promote tumor growth.
Professor François Desgrandchamps, urological surgeon at Saint-Louis Hospital in Paris, sees this study as an additional incentive to encourage his patients to adopt a diet rich in plant foods. He recalls that another recent study also showed the benefits of fruits and vegetables on the sexual and urinary health of men with prostate cancer.
Although diet can play an important role in the fight against prostate cancer, it is essential to emphasize that these studies do not replace medical treatments recommended by doctors. Rather, they complement these treatments by offering a holistic approach to disease management.
