Richard Paul Astley (born February 6, 1966) is an English dance-pop singer, songwriter and musician. He was born in Newton-le-Willows, St Helens, Lancashire, England. Astley currently resides in Richmond, Surrey with his Danish girlfriend, Lene Bausager, and their daughter, Emilie.
In 1985, Astley was playing the club circuit as a singer with a soul band named FBI, when he was seen by the record producer Pete Waterman and persuaded to come to London to work at the PWL recording studio. Read Full BioRichard Paul Astley (born February 6, 1966) is an English dance-pop singer, songwriter and musician. He was born in Newton-le-Willows, St Helens, Lancashire, England. Astley currently resides in Richmond, Surrey with his Danish girlfriend, Lene Bausager, and their daughter, Emilie.
In 1985, Astley was playing the club circuit as a singer with a soul band named FBI, when he was seen by the record producer Pete Waterman and persuaded to come to London to work at the PWL recording studio. Under the tutelage of production trio Stock Aitken Waterman, Astley was taught about the recording process and groomed for his future career, supposedly starting off as the recording studio 'tea boy'. During much of his career prior to the proliferation of music videos, many listeners assumed he was black. In one instance, the comedic entertainer, Sinbad, discussed him with a talk-show host, expressing his surprise that Astley was not "one of the brothers." Even after his visual appearance, it was still popular belief that he was miming for a black American singer. His brother Mark Astley helped to refute this assertion.
His first single was the little-known "When You Gonna" credited to Rick & Lisa, but his first solo outing was "Never Gonna Give You Up," released in 1987. It became an immediate success, spending five weeks at the top of the British charts and becoming the year's highest-selling single. It was the first of no fewer than 13 (world-wide) Top 30 hit singles for him.
The album Whenever You Need Somebody also reached Number One in the UK, and the hit singles continued, including the title track and a cover of Nat King Cole's "When I Fall In Love."
On 12 March 1988, "Never Gonna Give You Up" had also topped the U.S. singles chart and was followed by a second U.S. #1 on 18 June with his second U.S. single release "Together Forever."
By the end of the decade, Astley had parted company with Stock Aitken Waterman. He achieved one more major success with the 1991 ballad "Cry For Help," which reached the Top 10 in both the UK and the U.S. It featured a gospel choir arranged by Andraé Crouch, who'd also been involved with Madonna's 1989 hit "Like A Prayer."
His next album Body & Soul was released in 1993. The album did not chart in the U.K. and managed to make The Billboard 200 peaking at a lowly #182. The two singles, The Ones You Love and Hopelessly performed very well on the adult contemporary chart, peaking at #19 and #4 respectively. Hopelessly also crossed over and peaked at #31 on the Top 40 Mainstream chart. For much of the 1990s and early 2000s, Astley remained largely out of the spotlight.
In 1991 the RIAA certified that two million copies of Whenever You Need Somebody had been sold. Total world sales of Astley's records (inclusive of singles, albums and compilation inclusions) have reached 40 million.
Almost 10 years after "Body & Soul", Rick finally returned to the music world and released "Keep It Turned On" in 2002. The album featured the single "Sleeping", which became a minor club hit, thanks to a set of remixes from U.S. house producer Todd Terry.
In 2005 Astley released the album Portrait in which he covered many classic soul standards such as "Vincent", "Nature Boy" and "Close To You".
In early 2006, Astley withdrew unexpectedly at the eleventh hour from appearing on the BBC TV celebrity/pro duets show Just the Two of Us after committing to the series. This led to criticism from those in the entertainment industry and media. His place was filled by opera singer Russell Watson, who eventually won the competition. The BBC failed to explain that Astley's withdrawal was due to his partner Lene Bausager being nominated for the 2006 Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film for her produced/directed film "Cashback". Astley would have missed a crucial part of the show by attending the awards ceremony and so withdrew before the show started its run.
Based on various music charts in the UK, U.S. and Canada, Astley has charted a grand total of 14 (different) hit singles and 6 (different) hit albums as of March 2006.
During the later part of 2006 and the beginning of 2007, the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" became part of an internet meme similar to the "Duckrolling" of the 4chan game forums. A link would be submitted to the forum, in the first instances to a supposed trailer of a new game, and would redirect the user to the video. This process fondly became known as a "Rickroll", and the usage of which has developed exponentially since. As a result of the increased publicity Rick Astley's former record company (RCA) released a greatest hits album.
In 2008, he won the Best Act Ever prize at MTV EMA's. In the same year he Rick rolled America on National TV in Macy's Thanksgiving Parade..thanks to Cartoon Network

A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just want to tell you how I'm feeling
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
(Ooh) Never gonna give, never gonna give (give you up)

You don't need bonds. Until you need them.
Are things as bad as they seem? Or do we need a bit of perspective?
Is gold the safe haven everyone seems to imagine?
What is risk and what effect can it have on your investments?
Absolute return strategies have been touted as the perfect investment. So what's the real story?
The British have always viewed property as a safe home for their money – and indeed, buy-to-let has been a popular and rewarding investment for many. But is this still the case?
The weight of evidence tells us that a diversified, risk-adjusted portfolio will, over the long term, deliver our goals.The trouble is, our brains are wired to respond to bad news more emphatically than good. So what can we do when speculation and panic threaten to take over?
All investors know that risk and return are related – taking on more (sensible) risk should provide higher returns, over time. Yet there are no guarantees.
It's not easy to compare and contrast cost when it comes to investing - this edition of Acuity should help.
Peer-to-peer lending is an interesting innovation, but is it as simple as it at first seems? And how long will it take to become a mainstream investing activity?
Is it possible to invest responsibly and still make decent returns?
Do recent reforms in pension provision and access represent financial freedom for millions of savers - or is there still a long way to go before fairness is achieved?

Students in the Red
By Roger M. Klein, March 2, 1977
HARVARD MAY HAVE the dubious distinction of being the most expensive Ivy League college next year when tuition, room and board fees will total a whopping $7000. The administration claims that fee increases are necessary to keep up with the galloping price rises that a University, like any other consumer, faces. To a certain extent their claims are valid; prices are unquestionably rising. But a closer examination of the relevant facts proves that placing the blame for increasing college costs wholly on OPEC, government grant cutbacks and inflation is the easy way out for the administration. A University committed, as Harvard claims it is, to seeking a diverse student body should strive to limit the economic barriers facing many students.
In the past decade, tuition payments and related fees have constituted an ever-increasing proportion of the University's revenue. A decade ago, student fees provided Harvard with a fifth of its annual income. By 1975-76 students were footing 28 per cent of the bill. Students in the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) now pay fully one-third of the school's operating costs.
Financial officials attempt to justify shifting the University's financial burden onto students, claiming that other income sources have been drying up. The Nixon and Ford administrations slashed HEW grants and other government contracts; on the other hand, Harvard last year received more money from the government, corporations and other givers than any university in the country. The depressed stock market of 1973-74 put a dent in the University's endowment, but with the recovery last year Harvard's endowment regained its position as the nation's highest. At $1.48 billion the endowment is at its historical peak.
The administration's persistence in directly linking inflation and tuition increases deserves closer scrutiny. Inflation over the last five years averaged about 6 per cent annually, while student fees have seen an average annual increase of nearly 8 per cent since 1973. (The 8 per cent Massachusetts meal tax was implemented during this period, but it contributed only slightly to the increase.)
Financial officers cannot stem inflation, nor can they control federal grants or guarantee a high level of alumni giving. The only sources left for them to draw on are student fees and the endowment. Harvard's financial strategy takes into account not just the Class of 1980 but the Class of 2080 as well. As a result, the administration tends to treat the endowment as a sacred cow: in accordance with classic accounting principles, college financial officers avoid dipping into the principal of the endowment.
But Harvard's budget managers have gone one step further, and refrain even from spending all of the interest on the endowment. If capital gains are included, the University's endowment produced income equal to 11.8 per cent of its total value last year. But only 5 per cent of the income went to defray Harvard's operating costs. The rest of the interest was reinvested to safeguard Harvard's solvency for centuries to come.
Since each school within the University manages its finances separately, one school's surplus is not used to ease another's deficit. The Business School, for example, incurred surpluses even during the worst inflation of the '70s while the College and GSAS, in their worst year, wound up with a $1.4 million deficit. The University refuses to transfer income from the profitable schools to these with shortfalls.
Harvard administrators speak of setting college prices at the level "the market will bear." But consumers of Harvard educations are an atypical group. Even the roughly 40 per cent of Harvard's undergraduates who receive financial aid come from families with an average income of $18,000--roughly $5,000 more than that of the average American family.
Despite the continuing upward trend in college costs, the applicant pool for the Class of 1981 is the largest in Harvard history. Obviously there are students whose parents are willing and able to pay for the Harvard mystique. But in spite of the University's lipservice to the ideal of diversity, the trend may transform the student body into more of an economic elite than it already is.
Last year administrators took one step towards a more economically balanced student body. After the number of students in the $20,000 to $35,000 income range declined, Harvard instituted a parent loan plan. The plan enables students who do not qualify for financial aid to stretch out tuition payments over an eight year period, paying an interest rate on the loans below the 12 per cent commercial rate.
But in spite of existing financial aid options, there are undoubtedly numerous qualified students who are forced to transfer or don't even bother to apply because of the constraints that inadequate financial aid programs impose. When Dean Rosovsky announced the forthcoming tuition hike he promised to "generate certain prospects and plans" to further relieve the burden of college costs. But when Robert E. Kaufman '62, assistant dean for financial affairs was questioned about these proposals he offered no concrete plans, adding that the administration's programs would "not necessarily be forthcoming within the next couple of months."
Administrators have not been lax in their search for budget-trimming measures. Stephen S.J. Hall, Harvard's former whizkid efficiency expert, dreamed up budget-slashers ranging from turning off the heat in Harvard bathrooms to using one color of ink on all University letterheads, envelopes and business cards. But officials have yet to take a hard look at many of the frills of a Harvard education. Rooms are frequently overheated; sherry consumption could be curtailed. Administrators could also examine the possibility of offering a ten or 14 meal board option, in addition to the present 20 meal plan. Food Services currently computes board fees on the assumption that students consume an average of about 14 meals per week; there is no reason for non-breakfast eaters to subsidize students with heartier appetites.
MOST budget cut suggestions from undergraduates may be no more than stabs in the dark, since students know almost nothing of the University's budgeting procedures. House representatives on the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life budget subcommittee have complained that they never received the financial data food services administrators promised them and thus could offer few substantive criticisms of next year's tuition hike.
By contrast with Harvard's unilateral budgeting process, six Princeton undergraduate and graduate students and one worker representative sit on that university's priorities subcommittee. The six-year-old, 16-member group makes recommendations on student fees, teaching, salaries, and departmental expenditure levels to university officers, who have never altered the subcommittee's recommendations. Although students form a minority of the sub-committee, they have full access to financial data, and administrators are usually willing to compromise on tuition hikes and cutbacks.
Harvard students are admittedly not alone in their financial blues. Other Ivies have yet to break the $7000 figure although they are trailing close behind. The IRS classifies Harvard as a non-profit institution but budget officials have managed to tuck away a tidy proportion of the University's income in the name of fiscal conservatism. But the debt-ridden graduates of the '70s can be glad they're not 20 years younger--experts predict that by 1995 four years of college will cost over $80,000.

All atoms are electrically neutral and therefore have the same number of positive and negative charges.
Each electron has a negative electrical charge so there are as many electrons in an atom as positive electrical charges in its nucleus.
- If the number of positive charges in a nucleus is known, then the number of elecrons around this nucleus is known too.
- If the number of electrons in an atom is known, then the number of positive charges in the nucleus is known too.
- If a compound has an electric charge ( positive or negative ) then this compound is not an atom (it is an ion).

Navigating your email campaigns into your customer's inbox can be a scary process. Broken links, wrong subject lines, using spam words – these spooky mistakes that can haunt an email marketer for weeks.
Let's identify these common errors, how to avoid them and maybe, just maybe you'll come out of the process in one piece.
A lot of detail goes into these email campaigns and like any type of content, it's harder to spot mistakes in something you've been working on and are really familiar with. Ask colleagues to check for spelling and click links to ensure they're not broken, are linking properly and that all call-to-actions make sense.
Another terrifying sight for email marketers is an email with white space where the images are suppose to render. While your images may display properly on your computer before sending your campaign, image requirements vary between email clients and devices. It may not be displaying on other devices as you'd like it to.
Considering how a recent study showed 65 percent of emails are opened first on mobile devices and 3 out of 4 users are "highly likely" to delete an email if it isn't optimized for viewing on a mobile device, being third screen-responsive has become increasingly important.
Again, this is something that can be checked manually by a few team members. You'll want to check across browsers (Chrome, Explorer, Safari), email clients (Gmail, Yahoo!, AOL) and mobile device platforms (iOS and Android).
You'll also want to work closely with your Design and Tech teams to design buttons and images of various sizes. At the very least, something you can easily implement yourself is ALT text.
If an email client blocks images by default, your customers will see this ALT text with a description of the image and also be prompted by their email client to confirm that the images are safe. Another lesser known fact is that ALT text is picked up by screen readers, which helps impaired readers visualize these images.

Herbert couple John and Bruna Oakes have played a major role in helping protect the wildlife and plant life of the Galapagos Islands.
Mr and Mrs Oakes, who own Central South Island Helicopters, were approached to do some work for the Ecuadorian Government, due to their expertise in pest control. . .
When Brian "Snow" Quinn needs to shear his flock of about 400 ewes, he does most of the hard work himself, although he admits getting in some help when it is needed.
At 70, there is nothing wrong with that, he reckons.
In his heyday, of course, Mr Quinn was a champion shearer – a world champion at one stage – and today he is still hugely respected for his legacy, having won the Golden Shears competition in 1965, 1967, 1968, 1970, 1971 and 1972. . .
With a picture telling "a thousand stories", we thought it would be good to review where livestock commodity prices are at compared to the last 3 years by way of our charts.
The wool price rises are spectacular, with crossbred prices back to they were in the 80's. And it may not be over yet with supply restricted and no stocks in the pipeline.
Wools second auction of the year produced price rises that are unprecedented for decades.
The 6-13% rises for different wool classes lifted the indicator levels dramatically, especially for crossbred (44-49c) and lamb (61c) wools. . .
Three years ago it felt like a struggle to get rid of them – now his top pen of store lambs has made $151 and owner Stuart Millar can't help murmuring "it's incredible".
Millar, a champion sheepdog trialist, attributes the price shift to a massive shortage of sheep as dairy expansion and storm losses alter supply and demand for stock.
Flock numbers appeared to be well back on early-season estimates, Millar said following his family's Suffolk and Perendale sale at Peak Hill.
Their offering of just over 2600 lambs averaged $100 as did another Gorge property Snowdon Station which sold 5400 Suffolk and Perendale lambs. . .
With works struggling to find enough cattle some buyers are starting to break ranks and are competing for cattle by paying premium prices, PGG Wrightson agent Vaughan Vujcich said at the Kaikohe sale.
It was another strong market with 780 head on offer with prices for most of the store market on a par with the previous week which was already high. However, there were still increases for heavier, more forward cattle with schedule changes and a lack of prime cattle for killing.
The cattle market at Pukekohe was very strong with all classes being in very big demand, Chris Humphrey of Livestock Mart Auctions reported.
"This is a trend which looks to only get better as was predicted late last year as cattle numbers are very low in most sales and demand is huge. This will not change for a long time and this shortage of cattle is a real concern," he said. . .
For many years at this time I've felt a martyr to the cause on behalf of this country's export earnings, well at least from Hinerangi Road anyway.
I'd diligently keep slogging away except for Christmas Day and New Year's Day while all the neighbours, stock trucks and various reps magically disappear. The road becomes a sleepy quiet byway instead of its usual busy vein of commerce and frantic activity.
I wonder how others can be so organised at a busy time of the year or alternatively why I am not. . .

What can and can't Canadian Invictus athletes say to the media?
By Victoria GibsonStaff Reporter
Wed., Sept. 27, 2017timer3 min. read
"Stick to your lane." "If it's not about you, you can't talk about it."
This is among the advice given to members of the Canadian military competing in the Invictus Games, according to Team Canada's communications manager Anne Dugan.
This week, athletes who have fought illness and injury, some career-altering, have been encouraged by the Canadian Armed Forces to publicly share their stories. But they're also still bound by the military's media regulations.
"Number one, if they're a serving member, they're treated differently than a veteran," Dugan said. "The serving members, it has to be very logged."
Upon first request on Tuesday, the Department of National Defense didn't acknowledge any constraints placed on athletes' ability to speak on the record.
"We encourage them to share their experiences throughout the event," senior communications advisor Jessica Lamirande wrote in an email. "If athletes want to speak to the media, they are free to do so."
"There are no restrictions."
But members of the Canadian Armed Forces must always abide by a set of published directives and orders to interact with journalists or media outlets.
If approached for an interview under usual circumstances, a member of the forces goes through a chain-of-command system. They're able to discuss their personal experience or areas of expertise, provided they inform Public Affairs of their plans to speak on-record and the results of any conversations.
The process this week has been streamlined, but the approval process hasn't been eliminated. A public affairs team is on the ground with Team Canada throughout the week, and all requests should go through them, Dugan said.
Under the Queen's Regulation Orders, officers are barred from offering comment that involves "enunciation, defence or criticism, express or implied, of service, departmental or government policy."
Department spokesperson Evan Koronewski said those policies were still in effect for the Invictus athletes. He admitted that making the distinction between policy and personal experience could be tricky.
"It kind of is a grey zone," he said.
Prince Harry says the athletes competing in the Invictus Games are "role models" and is encouraging people to meet and to listen to their stories. The prince founded the sporting event for wounded service members in 2014. (The Canadian Press)
The team was allowed by the military to speak about their participation in the Invictus Games, their specific employment or their sole personal experiences. "That doesn't mean they're able to just talk to media and go on the record about any specific subject," he said.
For some athletes, the military guidelines are a comfort. Team Canada co-captain Natacha Dupuis says she gets stressed for up to a full day before doing an interview, which isn't a part of her day-to-day job.
"There was a document sent about key messages, when you feel nervous or stuff like that, to try to think back and think of these lines," she said. For many team members, Invictus would be their first time being interviewed.
At this year's kickoff training camp, she asked how many team members were inspired by seeing last year's team in media coverage.
"Almost the entire room lifted their hands," she said.
Though she began making media appearances as an active member of the armed forces, she still relies heavily on the military's guidelines and practices for on-the-record interviews as a veteran.
"Of course, as a civilian," she said, "if I do say something that's outlawed there's not really any repercussion."

Ravens Players Team Up with Red Cross for Quake Relief
By Bruce Raffel Mar 24, 2011, 6:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Ravens Players Team Up with Red Cross for Quake Relief
BALTIMORE RAVENS PLAYERS TEAM UP WITH RED CROSS FOR QUAKE RELIEF
The Red Cross earthquake and tsunami relief effort in Japan will benefit from an afternoon of entertainment, autographs and family fun on April 2 from noon to 3:00 p.m. at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen.
Organized by Baltimore Ravens safety Haruki Nakamura, the event will include other players like Joe Flacco who will be on hand to autograph two items for a $50 donation and five items for $100. All proceeds from the autograph sessions and day-long raffles will be donated to the Red Cross International Relief Fund which is providing emergency relief for Japanese earthquake and tsunami victims.

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies nearly half of the nation's blood; teaches lifesaving skills; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization—not a government agency—and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Amur Tiger River Valley will be built where the present-day duck pond is located, just east of the Visitors Center. The new habitat will feature three yards connected by overhead catwalks and an indoor habitat with a day room, individual dens and veterinary facilities.
Donate now | Click here to help us reach our goal.
Features for our visitors will include an Amur Tiger Trail made possible by a $500,000 grant from the Minot Area Community Foundation. Along the trail, our visitors will walk under the catwalks, walk in and out of viewing range for an element of surprise and walk among the water features designed to mimic the Amur River Valley.
Along the building, there will be shade structures for both tiger and human, glass viewing for days of temperature extremes and water features to mimic the Amur River Valley. A Conservation Education Experience will highlight training sessions and keeper chats.
*All renderings are a part of a working project and subject to change.
Our male tiger Viktor is trained to stand on his hind legs so that our veterinary staff may visually examine his underbelly. Our female tiger Krapinka will present her paw against the fence so that keepers can be sure her nails are in good health. Trained behaviors like these help to maintain the safety of our animals and staff. It also helps to keep our animals comfortable. If they are used to turning their hip, it's less scary to receive a vaccine in the same way. The new habitat is designed to foster that relationship between animal and caregiver as well as that between a child and the wild.

A FAMILY of travellers dodging £15-a-day parking charges while they camp outside a Manchester hospital now claim they could be there for FIVE years.
The group, who hail from Ireland, have parked four vans in a fenced-off area close to Manchester Royal Infirmary where a sick member of the travelling family is being cared for after having two heart attacks.
The family of the poorly 39-year-old, who has since undergone heart surgery, say they have already been there for a month.
They have "no plans" to move away from the hospital grounds until the ill man is given the all clear to be discharged.
That's despite the fact a traveller camp is based less than two miles away from the Royal Infirmary.
Hospital staff members are angry that the travellers are dodging the £15-a-day parking fee, and that the family's Ireland- registered vans have been allowed to park inside an area where construction is expected to start for disabled parking bays.
One nurse, who wanted to be kept anonymous, spoke out against the group. She said: "They are pretty intimidating for staff or people visiting the hospital.
"There have been as many as 15 vans there although there are fewer now. Vulnerable people are coming and going all the time and it makes them feel unsafe.
"They can be loud and boisterous. I've seen it when there are 30 or 40 of them, hanging around and having a party with loud music coming from the vans and people drinking.
A traveller who was sitting in one of three vans parked inside the fencing denied claims that the family had been causing a nuisance or partying.
"We don't even drink alcohol," she said.
Patients' relatives are up in arms over the "preferential treatment" they claim is being handed to the travellers, who so far haven't been forced to fork out costly parking charges.
One visitor told Mail Online: "If we were at a hospital abroad, we couldn't pitch up outside like that. They have bags of rubbish and it's quite dirty.
"The area where they are parked used to be disabled parking.
Free NHS treatment is available for the travellers under the EU's reciprocal healthcare agreement.
The family, which includes three couples and their children, are travelling in Irish-registered vans from Dublin, Co Wicklow and Co Louth.
A spokesman for Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Trust said they are working with the police to "resolve the situation".
He added: "We are aware of a number of vehicles currently parked at Manchester Royal Infirmary.
A spokesperson from Central Manchester University Hospitals Trust said: "Due to the on-going care of an inpatient, CMFT has worked with the owners of the vehicles to move them onto a disused area of the hospital site to minimise disruption to the rest of the area.


INTREN's EVP of Operations and Business Development Matt Turk and Business Development Director James Althoff mingle with a few political powerhouses at the annual McHenry County Lincoln Leadership Dinner this past Saturday in Crystal Lake, IL.
The event, held by the McHenry County Republican Party, included attendees Illinois' Governor Bruce Rauner, Illinois State Senator Pam Althoff and Illinois State Representative Nick Sauer (all pictured).
The honored guest was Captain Rtd. Thomas Frosch, a United States Navy, Blue Angels Captain & Pilot.
In February, INTREN's growing Gas Department moved into their new office in Middle River, Maryland, a northwest suburb of Baltimore. There to welcome 6 new crew members and check out our new 'digs' was Matthew Turk Executive Vice President, Operations and Business Development, Doug Anderson Account Manager, Adam Vos Project Manager, Jeff Nauman Vice President Gas and Ben Foder Assistant Project Manager.
Recently, INTREN's Midwest overhead crews safely removed 120 utility poles over a 4.5-mile stretch in the Forest Preserve District of Will County's Lockport Prairie Nature Preserve in Lockport Township. The utility poles were removed to enable the utility company easy access to the newly located poles so as not to disturb the Hine's Emerald Dragonfly Habitat located in the preserve.
The original project plan from the utility customer detailed removing all the poles by helicopter to limit intrusion to the endangered dragonfly habitat. Upon further review of the original plan, the INTREN overhead management team suggested a revised plan to also utilize rail equipment to limit ground exposure in the sensitive habitat, to increase overall efficiency and to reduce project duration to meet permit constraints. The customer approved the revised plan and INTREN crews implemented it. Leading the project for INTREN were Assistant Project Manager Ryan Kasten, General Foreman Aaron Dyer and Senior Project Manager Bill Nightingale.
Of the 120 utility poles to be removed, three quarters of the poles were removed by Hy-Rail equipment (equipment mounted on the tracks), while the remaining poles were removed by helicopter. For the utility pole locations not reachable by rail, INTREN crews accessed them on foot -- via environmentally friendly paths to avoid sensitive rivulet areas -- in order to climb the poles to install conductor dolly blocks and remove the existing wire. The poles will be cut at ground level so as not to disturb the rare dolomite prairie habitat located in the preserve.
Crews transported the removed poles to an area outside of the environmentally protected area, where they were stripped down and chopped for recycling, lessening the impact to the environment.
As a founding construction industry member of ComEd's CONSTRUCT program, which kicks-off its 5th year this week, we at INTREN are excited to be part of the team of the 31 construction industry companies, three local utilities and seven social service agencies in the Chicagoland area. This year marks the largest class to date – 90 participants will go through a 9-week job training program that provides the training and skills needed to compete for entry-level jobs in the construction-related industry. Visit INTREN's YouTube page to see more on CONSTRUCT or read more about CONSTRUCT in ComEd's recent press release.
Certified woman-owned businesses attended a Women's Business Development Center and WEC Corporate Partner event - Teaming for Contracts: Creating Collaborative Partnerships to Grow Your Business exclusively for established businesses. Wisconsin businesses interested in leveraging their certification with major corporations and government agencies to access contract opportunities were offered the opportunity to learn about forming profitable partnerships to grow their business at this event.
Presenting at the meeting and sharing their story on how they joined forces to improve their bottom line and to begin to change the face of construction were our very own Founder & CEO, Loretta Rosenmayer and Trice Construction President & CEO, Stephanie Hickman.
Hosted by Jerry Fulmer, Vice President - Supplier Diversity with WEC Energy Group, Jerry also provided valuable information about their supplier diversity program initiatives to the captive audience, which included INTREN Account Manager Brenda Gunnink.
Another great day was spent with the kids at the John R. Tibbott Elementary School in Bolingbrook, Illinois on Tuesday, January 24th for INTREN's 6th JA-In-A-Day. Twenty-nine INTREN volunteers taught 19 different classes ranging from kindergarten to third grade, for a total of over 520 students, the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their futures, and make smart academic and economic choices. Junior Achievement's (JA) programs—in the core content areas of work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy—ignite the spark in young people to experience and realize the opportunities and realities of work and life in the 21st century.
As you can see by the photos below, all of our volunteers enjoyed their time with the kids at Tibbott! Thank you to all our wonderful INTREN volunteers for another great JAID!!
With 29 years built on servicing the nation's energy distribution needs, utility contractor INTREN has made its electrical services full circle for utilities as it announces the creation of its Electric Transmission department. Traditionally operating as a contractor for utilities substation and distribution needs, the addition of its electric transmission service offering provides INTREN the opportunity to work on all power lines from energy generation to delivery at a home or business.
Combs, who has been with INTREN since 2013, will oversee the electric transmission department made up of field personnel and management with vast transmission experience and knowledge. Combs brings over 20-years' experience in both in both transmission and distribution systems. The department will be stationed in Concord, Cali., and serve as a hub for all operations nationwide.
To further key partnerships with utilities in Midwest and East Coast states, nationwide utility contractor INTREN has announced the creation of a new division, Midwest East, and the appointment of Account Manager Brian Carlin.
Leading the new division, Carlin, who was previously the director of utilities with an established utility provider in northwest Ohio, will bring with him 27 years of experience. Carlin has held several positions in the industry, including power generation, power sales, water and fiber-optic communication. Based out of Cincinnati, Ohio, Carlin and the newly established division will continue work in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Kentucky.
INTREN's divisions are created and named based off the business unit and geographical location of the work and client. This division and region was previously part of INTREN's Midwest South, led by INTREN Account Manager Steve Littrell. In July 2016, Littrell began the transition with Carlin, scheduled to be completed by February 2017.
For more information, contact Midwest East Account Manager Brian Carlin.
With environmental concerns being at the forefront of today's issues, INTREN has made a commitment towards sustainability to help reduce our carbon footprint. Since 2011, INTREN has participated in the Electric Utility Industry Sustainable Supply Chain Alliance (EUISSCA), which assists in measuring our carbon footprint and setting reduction goals. Since then, we have also begun to make long-term investments in technology and techniques that reduce emissions, one of those being our idle program.
It has been reported that every engine idling hour can cost up to $1.25 in fuel, which can add up to $456.25 annually if left idling for just one hour every single day. In addition, research has shown that around 3.8 million gallons of fuel is wasted by idling in the United States per year. One gallon of gas burned emits around 20 lbs. of carbon dioxide. Thus, as a result, nearly 76 million lbs. of carbon dioxide is emitted annually in the US due to idling. In addition to contributing to ground-level ozone, tailpipe emissions can also cause an array of health problems such as lung diseases and cancer.
After seeing the problems that engine idling can cause, INTREN has taken proactive steps to try to create a cleaner environment. As stated above, our company has made commitments and set goals with regard to reducing energy consumption. We are encouraging all INTREN employees to help reduce emissions by turning their key to be idle free. We are also installing GPS trackers and tracking vehicles that idle over 20 hours a week. All of these efforts will help to reduce the environmental and health impacts seen from vehicle idling that affects our own families as well as our customers. In fact, INTREN has been able to trend our idling downward before winter began where there tends to be a natural spike.


470 backers pledged $78,289 to help bring this project to life.
Every new product has its challenges. Fortunately, we've been in the game for 10 years. We've got long-standing relationships with factories producing our jackets; we're familiar with timelines. Our current biggest challenge is meeting their minimums — if we don't get the needed finances, we may miss their production schedule. Dawdling gives them time to land other contracts, leaving us by the wayside. If this happens, our delivery timeline could be stretched considerably.
Thank you for your support of our campaign. Every backer helps!

Is it time for Scunthorpe to cut their losses with Bobby Grant?
When Scunthorpe snapped up young Accrington Stanley forward Robert Grant in June 2010 there was much talk about him being the next off the remarkable production line at Glanford Park.
The likes of Sharp, Paterson, and Hooper had or were set to move onto bigger and better things so fittingly hopes were high that the youngster from Stanley could live up to his striking predecessors in Northern Lincolnshire.
Indeed at the time Grant, who had hit 18 in 51 appearances for Stanley, stated that he was hoping to follow in the footsteps of Iron legend Kevin Keegan 40 years previous by earning a move to the top tier from Scunthorpe.
Nigel Adkins certainly believed Grant could become a special player. The 20-year-old was already a first team regular at the Lancashire club and was someone who looked to have a bright future ahead of him. Although he was out-of-contract, as he was under 24, compensation was due to Accrington. A fee of up to £260,000 was agreed based on performance and appearances at Scunthorpe.
However things have not worked out and instead of following in the footsteps of his hero Keegan he now appears to be taking the route back to the lower league football. With his contract expiring there is a controversial decision to make regarding his future but where did it go so wrong?
With Scunthorpe in the Championship, youngster Grant was always signed as one for the future and his start at the club established that with only minor roles coming off the bench. However one of his earliest appearances, as a substitute against Manchester United in the cup, confirmed that he could potentially have a distinguished career for the Iron. He put in a self-assured display for a 20-year-old coming up against one of the best sides in the world.
Despite this it was quite a shock to see him named in the starting line-up by Ian Baraclough for our game at Leicester City in October. Thrown in the deep end by the inexperienced boss, Grant looked something of a fish out of water and was substituted after only 56 minutes.
After being continuously used in a bit-part role, Grant decided to gain some much-needed playing time at League One side Rochdale. He made the ideal start for the Dale, netting on his debut and went onto make six appearances for the club, scoring once more before being recalled by Scunthorpe. However as Scunny struggled at the bottom of the Championship, Grant remained a squad player regularly featuring off the bench. He only made six more starts as the side were ultimately relegated back to League One.
This summer Grant was understandably keen to 'draw a line' under his disappointing first season with the club, failing to live up to the potential that Adkins first saw in him.
Big things were expected of him in League One as although he looked out of his depth in the Championship he had already demonstrated he could perform at this level during his short loan-spell at Rochdale. It started well enough and by November Grant had registered nine goals in League One. His fine performances at Charlton and at home against Tranmere demonstrated the obvious ability that he possesses. But frequently during the season he has failed to illustrate this ability; repeatedly frustrating to watch, polarising opinion on the terraces and at times proving to be a liability for the side.
Consequently Grant's status at Scunthorpe remains one of untapped potential.
The irregularity in his play is probably the most infuriating part of his game. For every stunning long-range wonder goal (Tranmere) comes an instant that costs the side crucial points (Colchester). His past substitute appearances had resulted in self-seeking long range efforts that made life difficult not for opposition keepers but for our ball boys.
Grant was probably signed by Adkins with a view to playing him as an out and out striker but I personally think he has the ability to succeed as a winger. Too often earlier in the season, while played up-front, he was dropping deep after being left isolated by our uncreative midfield. He lacks the height and all-round ability to cause major problems in a league dominated by burly centre-backs in the centre of attack. However his nine goals for the Iron this season demonstrate that he is very capable of scoring goals. Perhaps a wider role would let this talent shine through? Indeed, the versatile front-man performed well on the left-wing during his loan-spell at Accrington, claiming three goals in his seven games back at his former club.
In part, Grant was quite unfortunate to get injured during January when Knill strengthened the attack, switching to a 4-3-3 formation with Parkin leading the line with Duffy and Barcham providing support on the flanks. However he came back from his loan spell with a better attitude and looked decent enough leading the line during our last three games of the season. Perhaps this has made Knill re-think his opinion about young Grant.
With an option to extend his current contract available it is possible that he does have a future at club after all if they decide that his obvious potential outweighs his dubious attitude. This and his recent improvement in performance and attitude may just be enough for him to get another year at the club.
However with the option to get rid approaching many fans believe it is time to cut our losses with the egotistical 21-year-old whose potential remains yet unfulfilled at Scunthorpe United. I just wonder if Alan Knill agrees.

H2N Albums – The Amazons – The Amazons
Post author By alsouth
No Comments on H2N Albums – The Amazons – The Amazons
Reading-based rock quartet, The Amazons, recently released their self-titled debut album. Full of well-crafted noisy guitar riffs and driving rhythm sections, the band boast an 11 track debut album.
So far, this year has seen The Amazons take on the music scene like never before, with the band being shortlisted for the likes of BBC's Sound of 2017. The boys have been non-stop touring and as festival season approaches, we see their name cropping up on numerous different line-ups. There's no doubt that The Amazons are proving themselves as ones to watch as they unfold further into today's popular music culture.
Although the album sticks to the typical 'indie-rock' sound you'd expect to hear from many bands these days, The Amazons do, however, offer a range of emotions within the songs making the album suitable for any mood or occasion. With glimpses of Sundara Karma and Catfish and The Bottlemen (however, just a tad heavier) shining through, the band offers a subtle hint of what is current in the indie music scene.
Opening with, 'Stay With Me', The Amazons wet the pallet for the listeners who strive to hear a heavy indie anthem – a theme that runs through the very core of the record.
Songs such as 'In My Mind' and 'Junk Food Forever' maintain the heavy indie rock vibe whereas, in tracks such as 'Holy Roller', The Amazons present a more indie-pop feel to the record.
Previously 'Something In The Water' (released in 2015) lacked the energy and heaviness it is now surrounded by on the debut album. The updated version compliments the overall heavy indie rock style in which the band portrays.
Along with 'Junk Food Forever', The Amazons performed album track 'Black Magic' on 'Later… with Jools Holland'. The live version of this track didn't stray too far from the album version, still heavily swamped with the electric riffs. Despite the vocals lacking the initial strength shown on the album (most likely to do with the vocal production on the track – making it harder for Thomson to sing), it was refreshing to see that the band carried the energy from the recorded tracks into their live performance.
Not short on emotion, closing track 'Palace' offers a whole new aura to the listener. A romantic piano ballad in which the album projects the strong, emotional vocals of front-man Matt Thomson as he sings heartfelt lyrics, 'come on darling show me what God made you for.'
The album is a definite 3 out of 5 stars, it's a good contender but not quite there. The album lacks consistency. Knowingly, nobody wants every song to sound the same but the way in which some of the tracks contrast suggest that maybe The Amazons are still trying to figure out their sound.
The record is available to buy on both CD and Vinyl available at http://theamazons.co.uk/ and is also available for digital download and streaming across all major platforms.

Home/Entertainment/Why Seth Rogen Has "No Hard Feelings" With Emma Watson After She Walked Off This Is the End Set
Why Seth Rogen Has "No Hard Feelings" With Emma Watson After She Walked Off This Is the End Set
When Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's This Is the End came out in 2013, there were rumors that Emma Watson stormed off the set after refusing to appear in a particularly graphic scene.
Said scene portrayed Danny McBride as a cannibal, while Channing Tatum played his leather-clad and leashed sexual servant. For obvious reasons, Emma wasn't entirely comfortable participating in that moment.
Now, more than seven years later, the Knocked Up actor confirmed to GQ this did indeed happen, but it wasn't as dramatic as it sounds. He explained, "I mean, I don't look back on that and think, 'How dare she do that?' You know? I think sometimes when you read something, when it comes to life it doesn't seem to be what you thought it was."
"But it was not some terrible ending to our relationship," the 38-year-old actors continued. "She came back the next day to say goodbye. She helped promote the film. No hard feelings and I couldn't be happier with how the film turned out in the end."

Gilded Age II
September 2, 2002 Issue
By Alice H. Amsden
How did it all start? What triggered the 1990s political corruption, its inequality in wealth and its stock market bubble? This is the decade that Kevin Phillips rails against in his historical epic of how the rich get richer and the poor get further in debt.
Arguably it all started in Silicon Valley, with a little help from the Department of Defense (which pioneered the epochal breakthroughs–transistor and Internet–that sparked the electronics revolution). Given the government's basic research, such private companies as Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Apple, Intel and Cisco generated creative, profitable products using new technologies. As the intellectual property of these well-managed companies began to rise, their stock prices began to rise, as did those of their suppliers, buyers, competitors, financial consultants, management analysts, lawyers and accountants. Even the stock prices of companies unrelated to high tech began to soar.
The frenzy struck executive salaries. Top-notch high-tech managers made a lot of money because their pay was tied to stock options. As their company's stock price skyrocketed, so did their salaries. Soon other corporate leaders–good, bad and indifferent–tied their own salaries to the price of their company's stock. The financial markets regarded stock options as a way to make managers more "efficient" using the litmus test of stock-price performance. In practice, some managers cooked the books and inflated stock prices by making risky short-term investments and acquisitions. Long-term investments in new plant, equipment, research and intellectual property, necessary for permanent jobs, became an afterthought.
As Phillips shows, the greed of corporate America was such that in the 1960s, the pay of corporate CEOs was "only" about twenty-five times that of hourly production workers. In the 1970s, the ratio was around thirty to one. It rose from ninety-three times in 1988 to 419 times in 1999. Between 1990 and 1998, the wages of ordinary workers barely kept pace with inflation or grew at single-digit rates. Meanwhile, top executives of America's biggest corporations enjoyed compensation increases of 481 percent! (Appalled by the eye-popping numbers on executive pay, Paul Krugman referred to Wealth and Democracy in one of his columns in the New York Times.)
With so much money sloshing around, contributions by business to politicians increased. With more campaign funding, deregulation resumed where Reagan left off, and upper-bracket tax rates mellowed. Phillips shows that the effective federal tax rate (income and FICA, or Social Security and Medicare) for the top 1 percent of families fell from 69 percent in 1970 to about 40 percent in 1993, with plenty of loopholes remaining. Over the same period, the tax rate for the median family increased from 16 percent to 25 percent. Between 1950 and 2000, corporate taxes as a percentage of total tax receipts fell from 27 percent to 10 percent while FICA (mostly paid by the middle class) jumped from 7 percent to 31 percent.
Regulation was critically lax in the accounting industry's scandals, as we now know. Phillips's book predates news of this disgrace, but he anticipates most of what happened. Deal by deal, the Big Five all began to relax established auditing norms; otherwise they would have lost big customers to one another. When chairman Arthur Levitt Jr. of the Securities and Exchange Commission proposed to investigate, the Big Five went to Washington. The SEC was called off the job; the Clinton Administration caved in. As for the telecommunications sector, now bleeding billions from overcapacity, its relations with the government were similar to those of the railroads in the robber-baron age. In the late nineteenth century, railroad tycoons were given free access to land worth millions of dollars; in the 1990s, the telecommunications industry was given publicly owned electromagnetic spectrum worth billions of dollars. Phillips shows that, among the top thirty billionaires reported by Forbes for 2001, eight were in high-tech electronics, including software, and eight were in media.
So, starting with Silicon Valley, one can tell a story about the 1990s that may be flat-footed but that at least moves from cause to effect in a linear fashion. This, however, is not the story that Kevin Phillips chooses to tell. Or maybe it is, but his writing style is so roving, rambling and roundabout that it is difficult to find a coherent story anywhere, although the parts are sure to be found somewhere, and are often juicy. He aims a shotgun rather than a rifle at the fin de siècle's cast of cruddy characters.
Phillips doesn't start in Silicon Valley because, at heart, he is an antitechnologist. For Phillips, technology merely makes mischief. "From early textile machinery to the Internet," he writes, the early stages of major innovations have generated rising social and economic inequality almost as a matter of course." (But how about the millions of jobs created in textiles and the Internet at a slightly later stage?) Elsewhere he states: "We can likewise doubt that technology has outweighed representative government, effective markets, and English-speaking freedoms in achieving the economic leadership of Britain and then the United States." Really? Phillips's dismissal of technology as a major factor in the economic hegemony of first England and then the United States is strange because he shows contempt for the alternative explanation–an obsessive love of market forces and laissez-faire. Technology is bad in Phillips's view simply because it breeds speculation. There are no heroes.
Notwithstanding Phillips's chaotic style and his neglect of the real economic forces that govern wealth accumulation and distribution (such as technology), he does a big service for his readers by providing them with bytes of information on wealth inequality and democracy's warts.
Phillips, historically a card-carrying Republican, regards his reformist, liberal politics as nothing strange. It follows in the footsteps of great past Republican reformers like Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. Phillips considers Franklin D. Roosevelt one of the team because–his affiliation to the Democratic Party notwithstanding–he was rich but a reformer of radical scope (responding, one might add, not necessarily to his conscience but to social unrest). For most Republicans, Phillips has nothing kind to say. "The Democrats," he writes, "were the more important incubators of the Internet mania, but the underpinning economic spirit was the market-deifying, tax-cutting, and assets-aggrandizing conservatism given its head in the eighties. This part of the framework was more Republican."
The Republican pedigree lets Phillips get away with murder. He rants and raves in a way that someone on the left would be skewered for. The result, however, is welcome. It is satisfying to read an analysis of the US economy from the standpoint of greed and conservative morality.
The history lessons Phillips administers range from Aristotle to the Gilded Age of the 1920s, which he contrasts with Gilded Age II of the 1990s. He examines Holland's tulip mania and its economic decline as a world power, comparing its fall with that of Britain and possibly the United States. In one table, culled from the Wall Street Journal, he lists the wealthiest people of the past 1,000 years, starting with Al-Mansur (938-1002), the Moorish regent of Cordoba, who got rich through plunder, moving to Kublai Khan, ruler of China (1215-94), who got rich from inheritance and confiscation, and ending with Bill Gates (1955-), the US software executive, who got rich on stock ownership in Microsoft.
Other facts and figures are no less interesting, and some of Phillips's charts are ingenious. To show the "giantizing" of wealth enjoyed by the richest person in the realm, Phillips compares the largest fortune at the time to that of the median family or household. In 1790, the ratio of the richest man's wealth, Elias Derby, to the median was 4,000 to 1. By 1868, the ratio of Cornelius Vanderbilt's wealth (in railroads) to the median was 80,000 to 1. For John D. Rockefeller in 1912, the ratio was 1,250,000 to 1 (in 1940, it fell to 850,000 to 1). In 1962, the ratio for Jean Paul Getty was 138,000 to 1. For Sam Walton in 1992, it was 185,000 to 1. For Bill Gates in 1999, it was the blockbuster, 1,416,000 to 1! Presumably, the ratio increased over time as the United States moved from an agrarian economy to one based on modern transportation (railroads), natural resource exploitation (copper, oil) and then manufacturing, where new product innovations could flourish.
Compared with other wealthy countries, inequality in the United States is extreme. In the 1990s, the income ratio in Japan of the top fifth of households to the bottom fifth was only 4.3 to 1. (A similar ratio exists in Korea and Taiwan, which, like Japan, had a land reform after World War II.) European social democracies tended to have ratios of 6 or 7 to 1 (5.8 in Germany). The US ratio was 11 to 1 or higher, depending on the source. Presumably this reflected the United States' cowboy capitalism, its rich raw materials, its pioneering technologies and its corporations' ability to mass-produce for a vast domestic market.
Wealth (which Phillips never defines) is essentially the difference between inflows and outflows of income, which is savings in the case of households and profits in the case of firms. Once wealth is attained, its holder has to figure out what to do with it. Thus, the financial services industry usually expands as wealth expands. In the 1990s the finance, insurance and real estate sector (FIRE) overtook manufacturing in US national income, "enabled by a dozen federal rescues and preferences, begun in the eighties and consummated in the nineties." The thirty richest individuals in 2001 also included eight in finance, investments and real estate–including Warren Buffett, George Soros and Ross Perot. As finance grows, Phillips argues, the likelihood of a technobubble grows exponentially.
What does it all mean, the rising inequality and "financialization" of the economy?
Business as usual, insofar as Gilded Age II is merely a catch-up with Gilded Age I. Between 1922 and 1997, the share of total wealth of the top 1 percent of households spiked in 1929 at 44.2 percent, tumbled to 33.3 percent in 1933, reached a nadir of 19.9 percent in 1976 (as profits plunged with the energy crisis) and hit 40.1 percent in 1997 (the estimates are from Edward Wolff). As the stock market boomed in 1997-2000, the wealth of the richest rose further, but atomized with the crash of 2000, into the present. Wealth inequality appears to be wired into the American system.
Relative increases in the wealth of the rich, moreover, are often compatible with increases in real wages and productivity. The average family's real income increased 30 percent between 1960 and 1968 as the ranks of millionaires swelled. Then came the era of stagflation. According to the Council of Economic Advisers, average hourly earnings, adjusted for consumer prices, fell by 0.5 percent a year from 1978 to 1995. They then rose at a piddling 2 percent a year from 1995 to 2000, in tandem with rising productivity and the "irrational exuberance" of the stock market. Thus, wealth inequality does not preclude modest increases in income for other social classes.
Yet, inequality matters, depending on the use to which wealth is put. And that in turn depends on the economic and social profile of the accumulating classes. Kevin Phillips, however, is not keen on "class analysis." "'Class warfare'…is a false description," he writes, "a perverse conservative borrowing from Karl Marx," because the United States has had rich reformers and poor Republicans.
Still, one doesn't have to emulate Karl Marx in the Grundrisse to emphasize that the new American class of rich is different from the railroad barons or the oil money of old. For one, it is extremely well educated. Between 1975 and 1998, the mean annual earnings of US workers with less than four years of high school fell steadily. Those of high school graduates stagnated. Those of college graduates rose slightly. Those of people with advanced degrees soared, particularly after 1990, when the demand for economists, lawyers, accountants and MBAs heated up (as noted by Edward Wolff).
Investments of the new superrich, therefore, are likely to gravitate toward new technologies in manufacturing and services, and fancy finance. With high educational attainments, the new elite may be expected to command a lot of money and social legitimacy, which the old tycoons never quite managed. A mere college education is no longer a guarantee of upward mobility, as Washington policy-makers still believe. For most ordinary people without a college degree or fancy MBA, the new rich have created a tougher world. Horatio Alger now goes to graduate school.
The second defining characteristic of the new rich is their internationalism. They hire, produce and market globally, and have mobilized bipartisan political support for operating overseas.
That all started with strong competition from Japan in the 1980s. Technologically behind the United States, Japan had more government interventions to help business grow (as did Korea, Taiwan, China, India, etc.). The United States regarded this as unfair, and shoved a "level playing field" down everyone's throat–backward and advanced countries have to be equal with open markets, free of government's foul play.
The financial services sector, with large-scale economies, benefited enormously from Washington's dismantling of developing countries' barriers to foreign banking and regulations of inflows and outflows of "hot," destabilizing money. Deregulation was soon followed by the Asian financial crisis of 1997. The Treasury still publishes a book each year documenting on a country-by-country basis the remaining obstacles abroad to American financial institutions. The pharmaceuticals industry benefited from the extension of patent enforcement to developing countries notwithstanding their need for cheap medicines. The software industry pressed for protection of intellectual property.
Strangely, Phillips hardly talks about globalization at all. But from stray sentences we can assume he doesn't like it, especially its effect on domestic jobs. Yet lobbying in Washington for protection of jobs that can be provided more efficiently in lower-wage countries is little different in principle from lobbying for tax breaks and deregulation for the rich. They are both a form of political corruption.
Phillips ends his 470-page book with a tepid recommendation, given the preceding fire and brimstone. It is to end the "democratic deficit," which puts power in the hands of unelected organizations–the judiciary, the Federal Reserve and the WTO. But Washington has a large say in the WTO, controls the World Bank and has a loud voice in the International Monetary Fund. For American business, that deficit is small.
Is, therefore, American foreign economic policy likely to give the new class of rich the global stability it desperately requires? No, if Kevin Phillips is right and inequality does matter. Internationally, economic inequality among countries has grown like Topsy. As industrialization spread unevenly, the ratio in per capita income of the richest to the poorest regions of the world rose from about 3 to 1 in 1820, to 5 to 1 in 1870, to 9 to 1 in 1913, to 15 to 1 in 1950. Then, as East Asia grew, the ratio fell in 1972 to 13 to 1, but rose steeply to 19 to 1 in 1998, the age of hardball globalism (data are from Angus Maddison, The World Economy). Global distribution of income and wealth is becoming as important to the American rich as domestic distribution, and both are highly skewed.
Phillips doesn't consider any of this, but that's fine. He makes a real contribution by showing how American politics works, what really goes on behind the fortunes.

Biografia
Di lui si sa poco: Bruno era probabilmente di origini aristocratiche ed era un monaco sassone appartenente al seguito dell'arcivescovo Guarniero di Magdeburgo, un potente avversario di Enrico IV e uno dei capi della rivolta sassone contro l'imperatore. Dopo la morte dell'arcivescovo nel 1078 per mano di contadini, Bruno divenne parte del seguito di Guarniero di Wolkenburg, principe-vescovo di Merseburgo, al quale, nel 1082, dedicò l'opera "De Bello Saxonico", opera per la quale egli è principalmente noto. Come indica il nome, è un libro narrante la storia delle lotte dei Sassoni contro l'imperatore Enrico IV. L'autore inizia con un racconto della giovinezza di Enrico e l'influenza malvagia esercitata su di lui dall'arcivescovo Adalberto di Brema, arcivescovo di Amburgo-Brema, tutore successivo al severo Annone II, arcivescovo di Colonia. Bruno quindi delinea nell'opera i rapporti dell'imperatore con i sassoni per poi narrare per buona parte dell'opera le cause e gli eventi della ribellione sassone, terminando con l'elezione di Ermanno di Lussemburgo come anti-re nel 1081 nel contesto della grande rivolta sassone.

Historia de Bello Saxonico

Bruno cercò di giustificare la ribellione dei sassoni, la grande rivolta dei sassoni e l'elezione dell'anti-re Rodolfo; cercò inoltre di dimostrare come il governo opprimente del re Enrico avesse rinunciato a qualsiasi diritto di governo, sia per causa sua che per colpa della sua dinastia. Bruno dedicò inoltre notevole attenzione alla disputa di Enrico con papa Gregorio VII, di cui riportò dieci lettere. Egli sosteneva il papa contro il re, ma chiarì, sia con le sue stesse parole che attraverso le lettere che copiò, che i ribelli tedeschi furono profondamente delusi dall'assoluzione che Gregorio diede a Enrico a Canossa dopo la sua umiliazione nel dicembre 1076; Bruno criticò il papa anche per il suo tentativo di rimanere neutrale dopo che i ribelli più intransigenti avevano eletto come anti-re Rodolfo a Forchheim nel marzo del 1077. Bruno si preoccupava di sottolineare che queste elezioni erano condotte con la piena conoscenza e il coinvolgimento di un legato pontificio, e in effetti l'elezione seguiva gli standard di probità stabiliti dalla legge canonica: quindi per Bruno non ci potevano essere dubbi sulla sua validità. Bruno descrisse l'insoddisfazione dei sassoni per le azioni di Gregorio VII. I ribelli tedeschi rimproverarono Gregorio VII di non sostenere l'anti-re Rodolfo. Le lettere a cui si riferiscono, che Bruno riproduceva integralmente, erano quelle inviate da Gregorio nell'estate del 1077 ai suoi legati e al clero e al popolo tedesco, in cui stabiliva i termini per un giudizio per decidere quale dei due sovrani avrebbe potuto governare come legittimo re.

Critica
Vi fu una divergenza d'opinione inerente al valore storico dell'opera di Bruno. Essa fu scritta durante la contesa tra Enrico e papa Gregorio VII, e l'autore è stato classificato con quei partigiani che, per ignoranza o malizia, si sono sforzati di far abbassare la stima dei sudditi nei confronti del loro re Enrico. Bruno sostenne effettivamente la causa del papa e le sue simpatie verso i ribelli sassoni si manifestano più volte nei suoi scritti, ma della sua sincerità e del suo scopo di narrare la verità non si può dubitare. Egli sfruttò al massimo le sue fonti di informazione e, nonostante le occasionali omissioni, offrì un quadro vivido dei suoi tempi dal punto di vista di un contemporaneo impegnato nella politica del tempo. Il fatto che riportò le lettere dei vescovi sassoni e altri documenti originali che include nella sua storia danno un valore aggiunto all'opera.

Veterans' Day this year was a unique experience. Pat and I spend the afternoon taking our granddaughter, Katrina, shopping for her birthday present. While we were in a department store and I was waiting outside the fitting room while Katrina was trying on clothes, I heard an announcement that veterans could get an additional discount on any purchase – what a deal! Then we had dinner at Applebee's for their Veterans' Day special. What a great time to be recognized for your service to your country and spend special time with family.
I had a special treat the next day when I took Katrina out for her first kayaking experience on the pond at the campground. She took to it like a duck to water! She is just like her dad; she had to find out how fast she could go!
SkillPath Seminars contacted me to teach a project management class to the Accident Fund in Lansing on November 15th. I thought this was a great opportunity and Pat and I started making plans to take full advantage of it. We flew into Detroit on Sunday, drove to Lansing to spend some time with David. He is doing fine and still working at Granger's while looking for full time work. We had a nice dinner with our friends, Susan and Gary Aten, before going to Stan and Betsy Pash's house. It's great to have friends who invite you to stay in their home when you announce you are going to be in the area. Thank you Betsy and Stan!
Monday we took care of doctor visits and other "stuff" that is still based in Lansing. Pat met with her "lunch bunch" friends and I had lunch with a friend from the National Guard. Later Pat, Dave and I met my sister, Susan and her husband, Gerry. We had a good time sharing stories of our travels and their trip to Europe.
While I was teaching at the Accident Fund, Pat went to Saginaw to do some early Christmas shopping with her sisters. While the training went well, the hit of the evening was having Dave fix dinner for me at his apartment. I can testify that he has picked up some of his mom's cooking skills.
After a leisurely trip back to Mississippi, we were able to spend some more time with Sandra and the girls before we headed to Orange Beach, AL to spend Thanksgiving with our friends, Darcy Toth and her husband, Roger.

So adorable to hear about Katrina kayaking! That's something I'd like to do with the kids this year in FL. Do you think Jeremiahs big enough to do it with me? How did the twins do?
