Parents' experience of transition: support and struggle
Hannah Morgan
I was working on this blog in the week the Sparrowhawk Art Exhibition was on display at Lancaster University. The exhibition was a joyful, bittersweet celebration of art produced in response to the death of Connor Sparrowhawk. Connor was an 18 year old man with autism and epilepsy who drowned in the bath in July 2013 in an NHS Assessment and Treatment Unit (ATU). His death was found to be entirely preventable by an independent review. You can read more about what happened and the questions that arise for using evidence in practice at this Learning Disability Elf blog.
Connor's mum, researcher Sara Ryan (who is the author of a study we blogged about here a while ago), had been writing about their families' experience of 'transition' for Connor (known online as LB, short for 'Laughing Boy') on her blog 'My Daft Life'. She wrote about their growing concerns for Connor and the future on offer for him, their frustration with statutory services (or lack of them) and the way in which as a family they were frequently excluded and ignored despite the amount of time and energy they invested in fighting for Connor. Their experiences resonated strongly with the stories I have heard many other families and are echoed in the article reviewed here.
Improving transition for young disabled people has been a policy priority since the early 2000s. Personalisation has emphasised the importance of choice, control and community based provision. However, as the author notes, a range of research demonstrates that transition for young people with Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASCs) is often 'particularly challenging', the support on offer 'problematic' and that outcomes 'tend to be poor'. This combines to create significant 'caregiver burden' for parents of young people with ASCs who often continue to provide significant levels of support as their children move into adulthood.

The research reported in this article was part of a wider Department of Health commissioned study 'Transition to adult services and adulthood for young people with autistic spectrum conditions' undertaken by researchers at the Social Policy Research Unit (SPRU) at the University of York (Beresford et al. 2013).
The project took place in five areas in England that had developed specific policies, pathways and services for young people and young adults with Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASCs).
Questionnaires were sent to all parents of young people with ASCs who were known to services (Connexions, health, social care) in the selected sites. Parents who expressed an interest in being interviewed were contacted and following purposive sampling 38 parents representing 36 families and 37 young people were interviewed.
The interviews were analysed using the Framework approach (NatCen, 2012), where themes and sub-themes are extracted from the data.
There are some minor limitations of the project that were highlighted by the author. For data protection reasons the initial questionnaires were sent to parents by the local authority rather than by the research team and this may have influenced their decision to take part. It also meant the research only involved parents of young people who were in contact with services so did not talk to carers where they were either unable or unwilling to use statutory services.
Parents often fulfilled the role of 'life supporter' and also spent a lot of time coordinating their child's service provision. They struggled without adequate support.
Parents were found to take on two interrelated caring roles. The first was that of coordinator of their child's service provision, for example arranging meetings with providers, researching and organising options and forms of supports, applying for funding and 'chasing' staff. While most parents take on a coordinating role in their children's lives what is different here is the dominance of services (or lack of them). As the author notes
This role tended to be assumed in the absence of statutory services, or in the presence of support that they felt was not meeting their or their child's needs.
The second role as life supporter, where parents continued to take responsibility for supporting their child at a time when many parents are starting to reduce or relinquish this role. This includes supporting tasks like personal hygiene, social activities and helping with decision making.
What characterised both roles was the lack of choice parents felt they had in taking on these roles that could be 'burdensome' and described with language like 'struggle' and 'difficulty'.
For some families the caring role was 'engulfing' taking up substantial time and energy often leading to compromises in other areas of their lives particularly employment. This impact appears to increase with their child's age and especially at a point where parents would usually expect to be enjoying greater flexibility in parenting
the absence of life choices for adults with ASCs bring an absence of choice for parents when their caring roles extend in response.
However, this was seen as the result of inadequate and limited support from statutory services not the consequence of their child's needs. The diagnosis the child had been given did not appear to be a factor in how the transition process was experienced.
The emotional experience of taking on these roles was described in strong terms by the parents interviewed:
'emotionally draining'
'isolating and frustrating'
'tearful, angry despair'
There were high levels of concern and anxiety created by uncertainty about their child's future, whether this was due to current uncertainty or anxiety about what the future would hold.
Parents raised very practical concerns about where their child would live and who would provide support but also much more fundamental questions about 'what place there would be in society for them'.
This meant some parents were unable to 'look ahead' particularly to when they would no longer be able to support their child. This emotional impact had a significant impact on the mental wellbeing and physical health of many of the parents.
The research identified a number of protective factors which appear to mitigate the negative impacts of the transition process:
Where the young person was still in school (whether special or mainstream)
Where they and their child was well supported by services. This included
A written transition plan
Being able to ask questions and access information
Being supported in decision making
Services taking on the 'coordinator' care role.
The author concluded that
In the perceived absence of service support, parents' acted as 'care-coordinators' and 'life-supporters' for their child as they moved into adulthood. These roles came with little choice, emotional demands and personal restrictions. Being supported was important for parents, but preferences differed regarding what this should look like.
This research provides robustly produced evidence to support what has been well known amongst families for a long time.
Parents want to support their children with ASCs as they enter adulthood and have a great deal to offer but frequently find this role burdensome and unsupported by statutory services.
The promises of personalisation are getting lost under the weight of the bureaucracy and organisation required of parents and a lack of meaningful good quality community based options for young people with ASCs to participate in.
Parents want to support their children with ASCs as they enter adulthood but frequently find this role burdensome and unsupported by statutory services.

Saddam Hussein: A Political Biography
Authors: Efraim Karsh, Inari Rautsi
Authors Efraim Karsh and Inari Rautsi, experts on Middle East history and politics, have combined their expertise to write what is largely considered the definitive work of one of the world's most reviled and notorious figures. Drawing on a wealth of Iraqi, Arab, Western and Israeli sources, including interviews with people who have had close contact with Saddam Hussein throughout his career, the authors trace the meteoric transformation of an ardent nationalist and obscure Ba'th party member into an absolute dictator. Skillfully interweaving a realistic analysis of Gulf politics and history, and now including a new introduction and epilogue, this authoritative biography is essential for understanding the mind of a modern tyrant.

Weapons of Mass Delusion: America's Real National Emergency
Author: Richard Forno
Popular technology commentator and author Richard Forno�s witty but realistic examination of American culture, particularly since September 11. He acknowledges -- and challenges where necessary � many of the critical issues Americans are afraid (or incapable) of confronting themselves. He concludes that the national emergency facing America today isn�t terrorism or rogue nations, but the daily illusions and mass delusions that make up what passes for reality in American society - in other words, the real danger facing America is what we're allowing ourselves to become.

Az  japán szerepjáték, melyet a Gust fejlesztett. A játék 2009. június 25-én jelent meg Japánban PlayStation 3 konzolra, később, 2010. szeptember 23-án a kedvező eladásoknak hála csökkentett áron újra kiadták. Az észak-amerikai változat 2010. szeptember 28-án, az európai 2010. október 22-én, míg az ausztrál 2010. október 28-án jelent meg.

Az Atelier Rorona az Atelier sorozat tizenegyedik főjátéka, az Arland alsorozat első tagja. A játék a sorozat első PlayStation 3 konzolra megjelent címe, az első amely háromdimenziós szereplőmodelleket használ a kétdimenziós sprite-ok helyett. Az Atelier Rorona folytatása, az Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland 2010. június 24-én jelent meg Japánban.

A Gust Atelier Rorona Plus: The Alchemist of Arland címen egy remake-et is készített a játékból, mely 2013. november 21-én jelent meg Japánban, míg a nyugati piacokon 2014 júniusában, PlayStation 3 és PlayStation Vita platformokra. A játék Ausztráliában "szexuális erőszakra" hivatkozva "R18+" korhatár-besorolást kapott.

Játékmenet
Az Atelier Rorona játékmenete négy különálló módra bontható le: a felfedezésre, a harcokra, az alkímiára, valamint a visual novel-stílusú történetszálakra. A barangolás két statikus térképen történik, melyek Arland városát és az azt körülölelő területeket ábrázolják kicsinyített nézetben. A térképről megnyitható területek, így a város vagy az erdők realisztikusabban ábrázolt környezetként jelennek meg, ahol a játékosok beszélgethetnek a helyiekkel, tárgyakat gyűjthetnek vagy szörnyekkel mérkőzhetnek meg. Az ellenfeleket a játékosok szabadon láthatják, így lehetőség van a csaták kikerülésére is. Az ellenfelekkel való érintkezés egy különálló csatamódot hoz fel.

Az Atelier Roronában a harcok körökre vannak osztva, és addig tartanak amíg az egyik fél ki nem kap vagy el nem menekül. A játékosok fizikai támadásokat, tárgyakat, illetve képességeket is bevethetnek, melyek vagy sebzést okoznak a célpontnak vagy felgyógyítják a kijelölt szereplőt. Minden szereplőnek meghatározott számú életpontja van, mely csökken ha sebzést kap vagy bizonyos képességeket használ. Amikor egy szereplő összes életpontját elveszíti, akkor elájul, ha pedig az összes szereplő elhullik a csatában, akkor visszakerülnek a városba. Bizonyos tárgyak és képességek a csata alkotóelemére is befolyással vannak, amik az adott alkotóelem függvényében növelik vagy csökkentik bizonyos képességek hatékonyságát vagy új képességekhez adnak hozzáférést.

Az Atelier Rorona története tizenkét feladatra van felosztva. Mindegyik feladat három hónapot tesz ki a játék történetéből, a játékosnak az adott időszakon belül teljesíteni kell ezeket. Ha a játékosnak nem sikerül teljesíteni egy feladatot, akkor a játéknak vége lesz és egy korábbi játékmenést kell visszatölteni. A cselekmény visual novel-stílusú játékmenet folyamán bontakozik ki, melyben a játékosok szöveges beszélgetéseken halad előre. Ezen szegmensek kevés interakciót igényelnek, hiszen az idő legnagyobb hányadában a játékosoknak csak a képernyőn megjelenő szöveget kell elolvasniuk. A játéknak összesen tizennégy fő-cselekményszála van, ezek megtekintéséhez a játékosoknak többször végig kell játszania a játékot, miközben eltérő feladatokat teljesítenek különböző szereplőknek.

Fejlesztés
Az Atelier Roronát először 2009. március 13-án, az ASCII Media Works Dengeki PlayStation magazinjában mutatták be. Okamura Josito, a Mana Khemia alsorozat főtervezője látta el a játék rendezői szerepét. A korábbi Atelier-játékok zenei anyagánál is közreműködő Nakagava Ken volt a játék zeneszerzője. Kisida Mel tervezte a játék szereplőit, illetve ő készítette el annak illusztrációit is. Okamurának azért esett Kisidára a választása, akinek ez volt az első videójátékos munkája, mivel Kisida alkotásai egybeesnek a "modern és letisztult képi világról" alkotott képével. Az Atelier Roronát a fejlesztőcsapat tagjai olyan játéknak írták le, mely újraformálja a sorozat kiindulópontjait. A Rorona az Atelier sorozat első címe, melyet PlayStation 3-ra készítettek, illetve az első melyet háromdimenziós grafikával láttak el.

Fogadtatás

Az Atelier Rorona megjelenése napján gyorsan fogyott Akihabarában, délután 1 órára a városrész legtöbb üzletében már nem lehetett kapni a korlátozott példányszámú kiadását. Erre azért került sor, mivel az üzletek többsége az előrendelések végett csak korlátozott számú példányt tudott elkülöníteni a rendes értékesítéshez. A játék 2009. június 22-e és június 28-a között 43 000 eladott példánnnyal a harmadik legkelendőbb játékszoftver volt. A következő héten 11 000 példánnyal a kilencedik helyre esett vissza. Az Atelier Rorona a 2009. július 9-i héten a japán Amazon weboldal legkelendőbb PlayStation 3-játéka volt. A játék a következő héten a második helyre esett vissza, ami egyben az utolsó szereplése volt az eladási listán. Az Atelier Roronából becslések alapján összesen közel 70 000 példány kelt el, amivel az a sorozat addigi leggyorsabban és legjobban fogyó címe lett a 2004-ben megjelent Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana óta. 2009 decemberében a Gust bejelentette, hogy elégedettek az Atelier Rorona eladásaival, mivel annak összeladása meghaladja a 130 000 példányt Japánban. Az Atelier Rorona nyugaton is viszonylag szépen teljesített, amivel világszerte az eladásokat 200 000 példányra tolta ki.

Crossing the Bridge: Building Enduring Multi-Ethnic Relationships
Understanding the precise meaning of a word is critical to building consensus. For our forum we have decide to use the word ethnicity rather than race. The New Testament uses the Greek word ethnos to describe a tribe, nation, or people group. In Matthew 21:43 Jesus says, "the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to an ethnos producing the fruit of it."

How to See the Moon: Telescope Viewing Tips
By Geoff Gaherty published 20 January 12
Just at sunrise, the waning crescent moon is ready for observing in the morning sky. (Image credit: Starry Night Software)
Anyone who received a telescope over the holidays may be itching to try it out. The most popular first target for any telescope is our nearest neighbor in space, the moon.
Here are some tips to make your first telescopic encounter with the moon more enjoyable:
Before looking at the moon with your new telescope, take a good look at it with your naked eyes.
The most noticeable thing about the moon is that it is large enough to show some detail without any optical aid. As the moon moves in its orbit around the Earth, the sun's light strikes it from different angles, sometimes illuminating only a thin crescent from behind, at other times shining full on, making it a full moon. These are called the moon's phases.
You can also see a surprising amount of detail on the moon with your naked eye. Most obvious are the shades of gray: the large bright areas mostly on the southern half, and the darker gray areas mostly on the northern half. [Harvest Moon of 2011: Amazing Skywatcher Photos]
Using a telescope
With binoculars you begin to resolve more detail on the moon: mountains, valleys, plains and especially craters. But with even the smallest telescope, a whole new world appears before you, ready to explore.
Like any tourist, it will help you to have a good map.
One of the most useful ones is the "Sky & Telescope Field Map of the Moon," available in both normal and mirror-reversed versions. The latter is mainly for observers with refractors and Cassegrain telescopes, which reverse the moon's image left to right. This map is on a large- enough scale to show fine detail, but is folded in four to make it easy to use at the telescope. It is laminated with plastic to protect it from dew.
When's the best time to observe the moon? Most people think it's around full moon (the next one is Feb. 7), but in fact this is the worst time. At full moon, the sunlight is falling on the moon's surface from straight overhead, and it looks like the desert at high noon.
The best times to moon-watch are actually at the two "quarters": the times when the moon is a quarter way around its orbit, and the sun is hitting it from right or left.
First quarter next occurs on Jan. 30. It will be a perfect half moon: the right half in sunlight and the left half in shadow. Two or three nights on either side of this date will be equally good.
Focus on the terminator
Concentrate your observing along the terminator, the boundary between light and dark. The sun is rising along this line, and so the shadows are at their maximum length. In fact, if you watch for a few minutes, you can actually see the shadows change as the sun rises.
A lot of beginners are surprised at how bright the moon is in a telescope. In fact, it is only as bright as an asphalt highway on a sunny day, but it seems much brighter because we're usually observing the moon in a dark sky from a dark location. If the brightness bothers you, try observing before the sky is completely dark, or else turn some lights on at your observing location.
As the moon gets closer to full on Feb. 7, the terminator moves closer to the edge of the moon, and it gets harder to see detail. As noted above, the full moon is literally a washout with a telescope, though perfect for romantic evenings.
A few nights after full, the moon starts to get interesting in the telescope again but at this point, many people lose the moon. That's because the moon, in its orbit around the Earth, rises about 50 minutes later each night. By third quarter, on Feb. 14, the moon rises around midnight and is high in the southern sky at dawn. [January 2012 Skywatching Events]
If staying up late to observe the moon doesn't agree with you, try observing it first thing in the morning instead. Once again, observing in a blue sky helps kill the glare.
Managing magnification
What is the best magnification to use on the moon? Try all of them; they're all good.
A low magnification of around 50x will show you the whole moon and give you the "big picture." But to see the moon at its best, try a high magnification, at least 150x. The moon can tolerate high magnification better than any object in the sky. This also has the added benefit of reducing the glare from the moon.
The only time high magnification can't be used is just as the moon is rising or setting. When close to the horizon, the moon is so blurry it looks like it is deep in boiling water.
With a good map of the moon in hand, try "crater-hopping" your way up or down the terminator. See how many craters you can identify, noting the variety of their sizes and shapes, what their walls look like, and what they have on their floors. What other topographic features can you see? Look for mountains, both isolated peaks and mountain ranges. Many of these are named for their counterparts on Earth.
Apollo landing sites
There are things on the moon that you never or almost never see on Earth. There are rilles: systems of grooves in the surface, thought to be the remnants of collapsed lava tubes. There are domes — gentle swellings in the relatively flat surfaces of lunar "seas" and flat-floored craters.
Look for the landing sites of the Apollo astronauts. You won't see any of the stuff they left behind, because they are too small to see from this distance, but you can often identify nearby geographic features. [How to Spot Apollo Moon Landing Sites in Telescopes]
Like any good tourist, try to take some pictures. Because the moon is lit by full sunlight, it is easy to photograph with short exposures just holding the camera to the telescope's eyepiece.

Pros y contras

Un sistema operativo "instant on" es como los usados por los computadores personales de los años 1980 tales como el Commodore 64. Esto ofrece muchas ventajas sobre un sistema operativo moderno estándar:

 Arranca mucho más rápidamente.
 Es menos vulnerable al malware pues el sistema es en su mayor parte de solo lectura.
 Permite computadores sin disco.
 Es más ligero.
 Consume menos energía.

Sin embargo, esto viene al precio de tener una funcionalidad local limitada, mientras se enfoca en servicios de web/nube.

Productos electrónicos de consumo

En el pasado, los fabricantes de productos electrónicos de consumo engalanarían radios y televisores con etiquetas "Instant On" e "Instant Play". En conjuntos de filamentos en serie, instant on fue logrado agregando solamente un diodo de silicio a través del interruptor de energía para mantener los filamentos del tubo encendidos con energía al 50%; el diodo fue colocado de tal manera que el típico rectificador de media onda de esos días estaba en polarización inversa (reverse biased). Las ventajas del instant on incluyeron la operación casi inmediata del televisor o del radio y la vida del tubo de vacío potencialmente más larga; las desventajas incluyeron el consumo de energía y el riesgo de incendio. La mayoría de los productos electrónicos de consumo de estado sólido son intrínsecamente de encendido instantáneo, así que el apodo sobrevivió al principio de la era del estado sólido para distinguir un producto de sus hermanos basados tubos de vacío (con los CRT siendo una notable excepción).

Explosives Fertilizer Ban Hits Afghan Fruit Growers
By Maiwand Safi
TAGAB, Afghanistan, June 6, 2011 (ENS) – Farmers in Kapisa province of eastern Afghanistan say their harvests have gone into drastic decline since the government banned chemical fertilizers that can be used to make bombs.
President Hamed Karzai ordered a ban on imports and sales of ammonium nitrate last year, on the grounds that the chemical had been detected in roadside bombs planted by insurgents.
Farmers in Kapisa's Tagab district say the loss of chemical fertilizers has slashed local agricultural production.
Nur Agha, from the village of Adazai, said, "When I was using ammonium nitrate, I was selling 420 kilograms of dried prunes a year. Last year, after the fertilizer was banned, I harvested just 70 kilograms of plums as the fruit dropped before it was ripe."

The farmer said he now believed Afghanistan's international allies "want us to lose our livelihoods and be forced to go to war."
Eight out of ten Afghans are involved in agriculture or animal husbandry, but chronic underdevelopment and years of war mean the farming sector is always on the edge. Even when ammonium nitrate was allowed, growing crops was an arduous task based on manual labour, and farmers were lucky to make a subsistence living.
A local elder in Tagab who did not want to be named said the plum trees in his orchard had yellowing leaves and dropped their fruit prematurely. He compared the fertilizer ban to the outlawing of opium production – in both cases the authorities had failed to come up with a workable alternative.
"We're fed up with orders from the government. One day, they tell us not to grow poppy as it's harmful to their foreign friends. The next, they tell us not to use this [fertilizer], again because it harms their foreign friends," he said. "Promises of assistance haven't been delivered on. I am left with an orchard that isn't productive because there's no ammonium nitrate since the government ban, and there is no alternative fertilizer."
Cereal farmers paint a similar picture.

"When the wheat starts growing ears, the foliage turns yellow. The ears are mostly empty, as well," Kapisa resident Sayed Ajan said. "I used to harvest 11 tons of wheat a year and sell it on, but I only got four tons last year so I had to buy in more for myself."
Exports of dried fruits to South Asia are a major revenue source for Afghanistan. Ikram, a merchant involved in the trade in Tagab, says he managed to dispatch just over one ton of dried prunes to India last year, compared with his earlier annual average of three tons. He said the lower production resulted not only in limited supply but also in higher farm-gate prices for wholesale buyers like him.
"When quantities are low, our costs go up. Right now we aren't making much of a profit," he said.
The shift in wholesale prices has forced another trader, Hadi, to stop exporting pomegranates to Pakistan altogether this year.
"As crop levels fell, prices increased. Last year, we would have bought two tons of pomegranates for 500 dollars, but this year the price is 1,200 dollars because market demand is high," he explained. "I personally have stopped doing this business."
In the neighboring Parwan province, Abdul Wadud, who lectures at the local agricultural institute, said many farmers had come to him to ask about the problem.
"The symptoms as explained by the farmers indicate that the cause is lack of nitrogen," he said.
Wadud said the government should have started providing alternative forms of fertilizer when it stopped sales of ammonium nitrate.

In Tagab, farmers said they have applied for help to agriculture officials several times, without success.
Government officials are sending out mixed messages on the issue.
Abdul Ghias, head of the provincial agriculture department, said that the ammonium nitrate ban has had no discernable effect.
"As far as I can see, the absence of this fertilizer has had no impact on product quantities," he said. "I disagree with the claims the farmers are making. It may be that pests have reduced their productivity."
While agriculture officials would offer help if crops could be shown to be infested or diseased, he said, there was no question of paying compensation for fertilizers withdrawn from sale.
"The use of ammonium nitrate has been prohibited and we have to implement these orders," he said.
However, a spokesman for the agriculture ministry held out some hope of assistance.
"Our agriculture officials will conduct research on the damage done to the farmers' crops. If their crops have been reduced by the lack of fertilizers, we are prepared to compensate farmers and provide them with the assistance they need," said spokesman Majid Qarar.
He added that two other types of fertilizers are being made available, and should fill the gap left by ammonium nitrate.

Yes, yes, another one
I know, I know, a lot of posts today. But this one contains a special treat! Death!
Filmmaker Vincent Gallo has shocked The New York Post by calling them to gloat about giving movie critic Roger Ebert cancer.
Since that time, Ebert has been diagnosed with the deadly disease, and Gallo got his assistant to call the paper to brag about his prediction.
His assistant reportedly told them, "Vincent just wanted to let you know that since he put a curse on Roger Ebert, he has gotten cancer."
Look at his picture and tell me you don't believe it.

With magnificent views across the channel, historic locations and a wealth of local produce, join us for a holiday in this beautiful part of the country.
Departing South Wales we head along the motorway, with comfort stops en route , before arriving at the Queens Hotel in Eastbourne for four night stay with dinner, breakfast and evening entertainment all included. The hotel is perfectly situated on Eastbourne's seafront, right opposite the pier and just a few minutes walk from the towns shopping areas.
One of the South East's Cinque Ports , the town also boasts excellent theatres and a great selection of places to eat and drink.
Today we head west as we climb the Sussex downs, stopping briefly at Beachy Head. From here we head through Burling Gap before arriving on Brighton seafront, the most vibrant city on the South coast. The Pier, the British Airways 360°, the famous "Lanes" and the Pavilion are just a few places to take in during our visit.
Heading inland we arrive at the historic town of Battle. Built around the Abbey and taking it's name from the nearby Battle of Hastings, this market town is home to galleries, tea rooms and local shops. From here we move on to Royal Tunbridge Wells. A town split into two, with typical high street shopping at one end and the Historic Pantiles at the other.

It's hard to be a member of the middle class if you don't have a job.
There is one law that the Supreme Court and Congress cannot fundamentally alter and that is the law of demand: the higher the price of something, the less of it will be taken. Sometimes immediately, sometimes over a longer period as markets and firms adjust. The "price" of something is more than just the "tag price", it also relates to the difficulty of acquiring it and all related costs. In the case of labor, it's more than the wage, it's all the associated search costs, paperwork, employment taxes, training costs and the mandated benefits that determine the cost of an employee.
There is a second important principle: firms cannot pay workers more than the value they bring to the firm (and stay in business). Every time the cost of labor is increased, whether by market forces, or increases in the minimum wage, or mandated family or sick leave, or more labor taxes or paperwork, the hurdle an employee must get over in order to have a job rises. The most damaging impact of a higher minimum wage on our economy is not the increased labor costs, but all the job opportunities that are eliminated forever for young and unskilled workers who want to enter the labor force and become productive workers.
Yet liberals can't be more proud of all the measures they support, federal, state and local, that raise the cost of entry into employment, including supporting unionization, which is the power to use monopoly power to tax ordinary consumers by raising labor costs, imposing costly work rules, and adding red tape. Yes, auto workers lived very well (and retired well) in the good old days when $1500 in the price of a car went just to fund their medical insurance in addition to the excessive wages paid, all included in the price of the car. So customers paid a heavy tax so the union workers could live well. Competition ended that, GM failed and lives today only with a $10 billion dollar subsidy from taxpayers and continued profit tax breaks engineered by the Obama administration.
Competition has cut much of this "tax" on the customer, and unions now cover only about 7% of the private workforce. Their new "sweet spot" is in the public sector where "profit" is not measured and managers are not accountable for the bottom line. GM failed but your local city or state government is not likely to (although a few have managed even that). Here, 35% of the workers are unionized and often guaranteed jobs (tenure, civil service etc.) and their tactics are the same, inflict pain on the customers until the public sector mangers cave under pressure from constituents (no garbage picked up, schools not in session, buses don't run etc.). Taxpayers take the hit here as well.
The Liberal's push for a higher minimum wage is also a "tax" on customers. There is no new income in a market when the minimum wage is raised. Every dollar a minimum wage worker receives comes out of the pockets of customers and owners as prices rise to pass on the costs. Few poor people are helped, most officially poor people don't work and would find it even harder to get a job at a higher minimum wage. Most of the earnings gains from a higher minimum wage go to families with above median incomes, not the poor. Meantime, job opportunities are destroyed and more and more unskilled and young are denied opportunities to get their first job (and on the job training) and become productive members of the workforce. Only people who don't "think it through" believe that government wage setting is a good idea. A recent report from Professor Mark Perry at the University of Michigan illustrates the impact of a recently implemented $15 minimum wage in Seattle. You can bet that most of the decline in employment was concentrated among the young and unskilled. And those job positions are lost forever (as long as the minimum wage is at $15 or higher). Now Seattle's city council is deliberating the setting of work schedules for private sector employees.

About Last Night: Saints Make a Statement
Chris Graythen/Getty Images
by Spike Friedman
In case you were busy watching Senator Ted Cruz do his best Eli Manning impression, here's what you missed in sports on Monday:
The New Orleans Saints outclassed the previously unbeaten Miami Dolphins in a 38-17 win, sending a message to the rest of the NFL that they are prepared, after a down year, to return to the ranks of the league's elite. Fortunately we here at ALN got an exclusive leaked copy of the text of that message; here it is in its entirety:
Dear Denver, Seattle, New England, and San Francisco, um, Kansas City? Sure, why not. Kansas City,
Hey, guys, it's the Saints. How are you? We feel like we really lost touch with ya'll last year. And that's our fault. We hate to lay blame or make excuses, but in this case we really feel we must. So much was going on with us, and our coach, and Roger. It's always hard when you get hurt by the ones you love, especially when they aren't being paid to hurt you. But we've moved on, and we'd like to think you guys have too. I heard some of you are even still friends with Roger. That's fine. Seriously, it's fine. That's fine. It's all just fine. Fine. Whatever. You are the company you keep, is what we say down in New Orleans, but do what you must.
Also, we've kept up with your exploits in the news: very impressive! What a bunch of athletes you guys all are. Your mothers must be very proud. We're not just saying that. We expect that your mothers are all very, very proud. Just asking, but have you noticed what we're up to? We'd like to think you have, though that may just be our vanity speaking. We can be so vain. Also, we saw what happened to the Giants. Poor guys. Someone should send them a gift basket.
Anywho, the purpose of this missive was to reconnect, and to let you guys know we'll be around, and to say we missed you. We did. So we came back, and now we're among you. Watching you. We still have Drew, and Sean's back, and Darren, well, we're all so proud of Darren. And we're playing defense again. I know you guys must be excited about that. Did we mention that we're watching you? Well, we gotta run, seems we're in demand again, but we can't wait to come to your homes. We'll bring the fried oysters, OK? Hugs and smooches. See you soon.
The Saints.
PS: Kansas City, only you know whether or not you should be getting this letter, so if not, please just eat it. Thanks, guys! Luv you.
David Price threw a complete game and the Tampa Bay Rays won their one-game tiebreaker with the Texas Rangers 5-2 to advance to play Cleveland in a one-game playoff on Wednesday. "I always say take it one game at a time, but this is ridiculous," Rays manager Joe Maddon said as part of his rollicking postgame press conference, while star third baseman Evan Longoria did a rim shot on a drum set behind him. "But seriously, folks," Maddon added, as he pulled his microphone off its stand, "can we talk about wild cards for a second? I don't know about you guys, but I hear wild card, I start picturing the queen of diamonds getting freaky with a one-eyed jack!" Longoria did another rim shot as Maddon soaked in the laughs, before saying, "That's my time, you guys have been great, let me introduce Rangers manager Ron Washington." Unfortunately for the warmed-up crowd, Washington's postgame set proved to be little more than material cribbed from Tim Allen's 1990 Men Are Pigs special.
Despite his team's slow start, New York Giants safety Antrel Rolle is confident in his team's chances to make the NFL playoffs, saying, "I believe we can go 12-0 from this point on." Unfortunately, Rolle, despite his protests, has been ruled out of the Giants' upcoming game against the Eagles with what was diagnosed as "shockingly severe head trauma."
The Cubs have let go of manager Dale Sveum after he amassed 127-197 record during his two seasons in Chicago. "Now rid of that lodestone Sveum, the once glorious Cubs franchise will regain its rightful place atop the pyramid that is Major League Baseball," said Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein, whilst wielding a golden staff. "Oh yes, now that Ol' Failin' Dale ain't here at our gum park anymore, I anticipate somewhere between eight and 12 consecutive World Series titles. Then the new commissioner of baseball will declare the Cubs the permachampions of the world, before banishing us from baseball, forcing us to take power by any means possible. And o how terrible our reign shall be." Epstein then asked, "And who do you think that new commissioner shall be?" before throwing his staff to the ground, and spitting out the name "Dale Fucking Sveum."
The Twins have let go of manager Ron Gardenhire after he amassed a 132-192 record during his final two seasons with the … wait a second, sorry, the Twins have re-signed Gardenhire to a two-year extension, which will ensure his tenure with the club continues through the 2015 season. When asked why he kept Gardnehire on despite his team's declining results, Twins general manager Terry Ryan said, "Seriously, field managers don't matter, and our door sign guy went out of business last year. Figure it's easier just to keep Gardy on than to find a new manager and a new door sign guy. Who has that type of time?"
Longtime Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds will reportedly announce that he will step down from his post in August 2014 after more than 30 years at the helm of the program. While some people are interested in the move's implications on the school's football program and head coach Mack Brown, you may have guessed that this news has bigger implications over here at ALN. That's right, it's time for another episode of everybody's favorite ALN recurring segment, in which we discuss Rick Barnes not making the Sweet 16 with Kevin Durant on his team, "America, Rick Barnes Did Not Make the Sweet 16 With Kevin Durant on His Team." America, Rick Barnes did not make the Sweet 16 with Kevin Durant on his team. Thus concludes the most recent edition of "America, Rick Barnes Did Not Make the Sweet 16 With Kevin Durant on His Team." Stay tuned for future episodes featuring blackmail, intrigue, and Rick Barnes still not making the Sweet 16 back when he had Kevin Durant on his team.

These are the most common insurances accepted by Dentists in New York, NY.
I go here for my teeth cleaning and x-rays. They do a good job, although once they told me they tried to get me to do "preventative fillings" on six teeth that did not have cavities. This would have cost me around $300 with my insurance. I told them I would not spend money correcting a problem that didn't exist..
I hate to say this but I don't trust them at all. I thought they would be stellar because there are so many pictures of celebrities and all, and I figured if celebrities were willing to trust Dr. Salim I would too. Nope! I feel like everytime I asked for something they thought I was being ridiculous. Growing up around medical professionals my whole life I know what to expect and this office is not it. They specialize in cosmetic dentistry, so you're not going to get the same care that you would from a primary dentist. I had a cavity at the back of my molar, and they didn't even realize it until a piece of it chipped off and I needed a root canal!! You would have thought that when I came in for an exam + x-ray they would have found that... nope! And then when I asked for an emergency appointment, they were not willing to let me come in the same week. UM hello? I can't eat DRS!! I went to my uncle in PA who said that I needed a root canal ASAP, but of course the Drs at Sutton Place were not worried at all? My uncle said that my smile was very deceiving because the Drs had done a good job of the cosmetics, but he said that I had a lot of hidden problems and thats why I was having a hard time eating and such even though I complained about it every time I went in.When I made my appointments I definitely asked for Dr. Salim to be my primary dentist, because I had heard so many good reviews but they stuck me with some random dentist who definitely felt inexperienced and like he was just there to do his 9 - 5 and pick up his pay check. I always had to make 2 appointments together because if I didn't I would have to wait 2 months before getting another appointment in the evenings or on Saturdays. Getting a dentist's appointment shouldn't be so much work. They're definitely overbooked, and not giving their patients the service they deserve or pay for.On top of all that, my dentist uncle said that the most I should have been paying per visit was like $50 and when I called my insurance they confirmed that, but I have receipts for upwards of $200! And then when I asked the very unprofessional, unhelpful staff about it they acted like I was ludicrous and was asking for them to go out of business or something!?!?Nope sorry now I drive out to my original dentist in Long Island. 5 star service even though I'm not a celebrity..
fine job whitening my teeth. 30 minutes late getting started..
I am from Fort Lauderdale but I see Dr. Dorfman in NYC because I've heard from a friend he is the best dentist to see if you are afraid of dentists. I haven't been to a dentist in 20 years so my teeth were in pretty bad shape. Dr. Dorfman made me feel in control, he went at my pace, and he easily gave me back my smile. From the first visit, he and his team helped me to overcome my fear of dentistry, gave me my confidence with the ladies and I am forever grateful. He is the best. THANK YOU DOC!!!.
Do not go here. Not only are they so prohibitively expensive than going to another surgeon to get your wisdom teeth removed, they also didn't disclose that thy were out of network..
Midtown west - gr. $365,000.


Our i850 prints any image only in red or a yellowish red despite removing the magenta cartridge. I have reinstalled the printer but to no avail.This problem originally manifested itself with a red tint to any photo or article and progressed until now it prints colour as red or red/yellow only. Any black text prints fine.
I would try to replace the printhead and the magenta cartridge at the same time. Lots of people with leaky cartridges have this same symptom only, it is with whatever color is malfunctioning.
1515n - I have the Magenta colour 'shadowing' the blue test. A mirror image of the blue text. [slightly staggered] Black is fine. Applies to all Word docs when printing in blue - can you help please?
I only use genuine cartridges.
Hi there. The reason for your problem is that the colour cartridge contains cyan, magenta and yellow ink, plus a black cartridge of course. All the other myriad colours are produced by mixing these four basic colours. So, if you print red, it requires ink from both the magenta and yellow cartridges. Thus if your red produces a yellow print, it means your magenta is not printing. This can be due to a number of reasons, mainly an empty or faulty magenta cartridge or blocked magenta print nozzles.
If you wish me to help you with sorting out the lack of magenta, please post a new comment to this effect.
Are you using Name brand ,new ink cartridges?
Take the color cartridges out and make sure you removed the tape from the bottom of those cartridges. if done already take a wet paper towel and squeeze out the excess water, then lay the damp paper towel folded in half on a flat surface.
Then set the colored in cartridges one at a time with the ink side pressing against the damp paper towel for about 3 min. after 3 min you should see the ink drain on to the paper towel if so then replace the cartridge back into the printer and that should solve your problem.
What color mode is the file?
The colours in the 3 colour cartridges are cyan, magenta and yellow. If you want to print "red", this requires a mixture of magenta and yellow. Thus if only yellow is printed when you should be printing red, it means the magenta is not printing i.e. faulty/empty magenta cartridge or faulty/blocked magenta nozzles.
Please post a new comment if you wish for further help with this problem.
Alarm / Power light flashes orange 7 times consecutively is a Print head error so it sounds like you did the right thing.
I would reseat the printhead along with each one of the ink cartridges. Make sure that you removed the tape from the bottom of each of the ink cartridges and try it again. After installing the new printhead, you should have run a printhead cleaning cycle immediately after installing.
Note: There are two ink tank label designs.
Operation procedures are shown with label design A.
1. Check that the printer is powered on, and open the front cover. Wait until the print head moves to the center.
2. Remove the empty ink tank by pushing the tab on the ink tank.
Note: When doing this, do not remove the print head. When replacing multiple ink tanks, it is recommended to replace one at a time to avoid inserting them into the wrong slots.
3. Remove the new ink tank from its package. Pull the orange tape in the direction of the arrow to remove it completely, and remove the shrink-wrap film.
Note: Remove the orange tape completely. If the tape remains, printing may not be performed properly.
Confirm that the orange tape is completely removed from the ink tank, as shown in image 1. If the tape is similar to the sample in image 2, remove the remaining portion of the tape so that it looks like the sample shown in image 1.
4. Slowly twist the orange protective cap in the direction that the arrow indicates, and remove it. To avoid ink adhering to your fingers, brace the orange protective cap while removing it.
5. Insert the new ink tank to the print head by holding it at a slight angle.
Note: Confirm that the ink tanks are installed in the right order according to the labels on the print head.
6. Press down on the top of the ink tank until a click sound is made.
7. Close the front cover. The next time the printer performs printing, it will automatically start print head cleaning. The power lamp will flash while cleaning is performed. Until cleaning completes, do not perform other operations.
Red is a combination of Magenta and Yellow. Print a nozzle check and observe for Magenta, Yellow and cyan. If the three colours are printed, no problem with the cartridge. Then it must be the problem of seeing colours in your monitor. .
Here's what you should do. Remove all ink cartridges. Get some rubbing alcohol, preferrably 91% proof (leaves less moisture) Get a couple normal paper towels. Check each cartridge for dried ink and remove it using an alcohol wetted paper towel. (The deep cleaning procedures aren't always effective.) The gold contacts on each cartridge should be gold when you are done. Use the same procedure on the gold contacts of the ink cartridge housing inside the printer. Take your time, do it well. If that does not fix the problem, then do the following. Switch the black and magenta cartridge. Some printers won't print when you do this, other printers don't know the difference. If your printer is the later, then attempt a print job using a page that has a line of both black and magenta text. If you see a black print, then the problem is your magenta cartridge (despite having installed a new one) If the magenta prints, then you know the magenta cartridge is good. If the magenta prints but the black doesn't, then you have a printer failure. Let me know your results. ZT3000 Beta tester of "0"s and "1's"

This wiki page says invalid blocks aren't counted towards determining chain length and that make me want understand how invalid blocks are treated.
Can an valid block be added to an invalid one.. and have it accepted by one or more clients?
Do miners of invalid blocks receive a reward for the block? Are the Tx's valid? Are there any examples?
Since every block has a reward, is the reward in the invalid block counted?
Are the transactions within an invalid block still considered valid?
I'm interested in tracing the transactions the occur from these "broken" blocks and to see if my hand-coded client processes the transactions correctly.
As every Client verifies each block they receive and reject every Block that is invalid, this situation is rather unlikely to happen. However, if by chance some invalid Block would propagate (such as in case of value overflow bug, or perhaps by being spread by some alternative Clients that don't follow the Protocol to the letter), it would eventually be wiped out of the Block history and orphan all Blocks attached to it. Alternatively, the Protocol could change to accommodate the Block, but that is a lot less likely to happen.
When part of the Block Chain would become invalid, all Transactions contained in it would be re-evaluated - coin generation Transactions would be discarded, all Transactions that spend their outputs would also be invalidated, and all other Transactions that are still valid would be added back to the pool of Transactions to be added to future Blocks. Same thing would happen in case of some Blocks being overwritten with a longer Chain of Blocks.
All in all, an invalid Block being accepted as valid and having valid Blocks appended to the Chain after it is a bug. Such cases have happened in the past at least once, and the result has been to fix the bug and erase the invalid Block along with all other Blocks attached to it. All normal Transactions from those Blocks would have to be added again to newly created Blocks and any coin generation Transactions would be invalidated.
With the Bitcoin.org client, the node accepts a block only after none of the verification steps fail.
Each block in the block*chain* is linked to a prior block with a reference to that prior block's hash.
So take the case where a node sees the longest chain ending at height 1,000. Then it receives a block 1,001. The client will then verify that the hash that block gives for block 1,000 truly matches the hash the client already knows about (from the longest chain) for block 1,000. It won't match, so this 1,001 doesn't extend off of the block 1,000 the client already knows about.
And since the client doesn't have knowledge of any other block 1,000 with that hash that 1,0001 purports to extend from, the client will not accept block 1,001 -- there is no link tying it to any previously received blocks.
