Who remembers Carl Icahn? He was the so-called activist investor who used his influence as a major shareholder in eBay to force the PayPal divorce. That saga began back in 2014 and merchants continue to feel the ramifications. And now new eBay investor rumours suggest that activist investors are circling eBay again in the hope of increasing the value of their holdings.
According to Bloomberg, there is increased interest in eBay and that has sent the stock price increasing by as much as 6.2%. And there is speculation that Carl Icahn could be part of a scheme to wring more value from eBay.
Obviously it was the intervention of Icahn that eventually precipitated the split between eBay and PayPal. His contention, that prompted his campaign, was that PayPal and eBay would be worth more to shareholders separately rather than together turned out to be unsurprisingly true. But as the tests of the new payments system continue, it remains to be seen whether the long term implications of that split will eventually prove to be beneficial to merchants.
Initially, the eBay Inc. board and management resisted the notion of separation, but over time the pressure from Icahn and his appointments to the top table proved impossible to resist and, obviously, the company was split up.
So, if something similar is happening now, what is the plan? That's difficult to say. eBay is made up of multiple companies. Obviously ebay owns the likes of Gumtree in the UK. But perhaps the potentially most profitable spin-off will be the tickets marketplace StubHub. It has proved to be a vital source of revenues in recent quarters.
The vital question is the extent to which the eBay marketplace, the core business of eBay Inc., can survive another interference of this type. How much 'filleting' and distraction can the organisation take when it already struggles to soar. We'll see how true these eBay investor rumours turn out to be.
eBay would really benefit from focussing on the retailer and customer experience instead of naval-gazing of this magnitude. Shareholder profits are a needless distraction to what really matters, and the real beneficiary of all this will be Amazon.
Investors need to look more at the long term, unless they are looking to sell up.
How big is Amazon as a fashion retailer?


If you are a resident of the Lowcountry, there's a good chance, perhaps a 99.44 percent chance, that either you or someone you know moved here from the North. And the reason for the move, most of the time, includes something to do with the weather.
That includes Addie Laurencelle, whose family moved to Charleston from Boston about two years ago.
Laurencelle, a talented swimmer for Bishop England, recalls life in the Northeast.
While many high school students enjoy spring break in a warmer climate, this week Laurencelle was back in Boston, where it snowed on Monday. There was good reason for the return trip. He was in Boston to tour the campus of Brown University and talk to the swimming coach.
Such is life for one of the state's top swimmers, who is getting interest from many schools, including Alabama, USC, Duke, UConn, Dartmouth and Colgate.
Laurencelle had an ultra-impressive swim season in the fall for Bishop England, winning the 50- and 100-yard freestyle gold medals at the state meet. He was also on the winning 200- and 400-yard freestyle teams.
He recently competed another successful season as a member of the SC Swim Club. Again, he won the 100-yard freestyle at the state championships with a time of 45.99 while finishing third in the 50 free and fourth in the 200 freestyle.
Laurencelle, who is 6-foot-6, is actually a native of Charleston. However, his family moved to Boston when he was a toddler. He competed at the high school level in Beantown and fared well. However, he admits he could have done better.
He competed in just about every sport his high school offered, including basketball, baseball, lacrosse, hockey and track and field. But he decided to focus on swimming his sophomore year. Then came the move back to Charleston where he made a name for himself in just one season.
Laurencelle is definitely passionate about swimming, and that passion means a lot of work. He swims 7,000 yards a day and as usual, that work comes in the early morning hours.
That hard work should pay dividends for Laurencelle in the form of a scholarship. But the real prize could be a spot on the U.S team for the 2020 Olympics, which will be contested in Tokyo.


Potty training must have guide!
You will also need PATIENCE and CONSISTENCY. Everyone in the house must be working as a team towards the same goal. Potty training the puppy! At times this can be frustrating but it is worth it!
You will want to monitor your puppies food and water. What goes in must come out, so if you know when your dog is eating/drinking you know they will need to go outside give or take 15 minutes. Also, cutting off your dogs food/water at 6:00 PM will help them to sleep through the night!
A general rule of thumb is that however many months old your puppy is she should be able to hold her bladder for an hour per month. Ex: 4 months – 4 hours and so on.
Now the good stuff! If you follow this guide your puppy should be potty trained within a week or two.
First, you will need to choose a door that you will primarily be taking your puppy outside from. For instance your back door. You will want to hang your potty bell either on the door handle or on a command strip right by the door. If you use your back door frequently I recommend putting the bell on a hook by the door so that your dog doesn't become desensitized to the bell. Every time you take your puppy outside to potty YOU will ring this bell. This will work by Pavlovian law. She will soon learn that for the door to open for her to be let outside she will need to learn to ring this bell on her own.
Now, the last step, whether she goes potty or not is to crate her for 15 minutes once you come inside. After the 15 minutes is up repeat the process of taking her outside. (We do this because as a puppy even if she went potty outside the first time she may have gotten distracted and not gotten it all out.) Now, if she doesn't potty the second time but did the first time or if she went potty both times she can have some supervised play time. If she did not go potty the first or second time you took her out, crate her again, after the 15 minutes in the crate is up, take her back outside and repeat the cycle until she goes potty outside.
I am a firm believer that if crate training is done right it is a great training option for our dogs. If everyone crate trained their dogs there would be far less dogs given up due to destructive behavior or having too many accidents around the house.
Many people believe that crates are cruel, however, when implemented correctly our dogs will love their crates! Our dogs love the feeling of having a place to themselves. As a matter of fact in nature dogs are cave dwelling animals. Crates give dogs the sense of security. However, to make this a safe place for our dog, the crate must never be used for punishment.
Crate training will help immensely in the potty training process. (Be sure to check out my potty training blog) As well as help prepare them for anytime they may need to be boarded at a vet or doggy daycare. Crate training will also ensure that your dog cannot get into anything that could potentially harm them.
Crate safety: You will want to make sure that when your dog is crated that you take his collar off. you will also want to make sure that you do not leave any toys or bones in his crate if he will be left unsupervised.
If you are potty training your dog you will not want to leave food or water in the crate when you leave for work or know you will be gone for a longer period of time.
Location, location, location! The location of the crate is important to consider! Typically when crate training is first being introduced you should have the crate wherever you are during the day like the living room for example, let the dog go in and out at his leisure. At night it would be best to have the crate in your room so the dog is near you and not barking/whining non stop because he is crated in a different room. You will want to have a crate that is easy to move around or purchase two crates.
First, you will have to purchase a crate. You will want a crate that your dog can grow into but also has a divider to make it smaller for potty training. If you will be moving the crate around you will also want to take into account the transportability.
Now, it is important to remember that the crate should never be used as a punishment. For our dogs to grow to love their crates this must be seen as a positive place for them to be! To accomplish this we must incorporate the crate into their every day lives. A good way to do this is to start feeding them their meals in the crate. Leave the crate door open and put their food bowl in the back of the crate to where they must fully go into the crate to eat. The idea to this is dogs will not typically use the restroom where they eat and they will start to associate the crate with something positive, I mean, after all who doesn't love to eat!
After you have done the feeding in the crate for a few days, start closing the door behind him and opening the door once he has finished eating. You will want to stay in sight of him the first few times of doing this. After this point you will begin to crate him with the crate door closed at night as well.
The next step is to start giving him higher value rewards to go into the crate. I say to do this when you're sitting watching TV or something. Have some treats handy next to you and throw them in the crate, this will entice him to go in, when he walks in you can mark the behavior with a command like "kennel" or "crate". You can also use a Kong with frozen peanut butter or yogurt to get him to stay in the crate longer. (Make sure your dog is supervised when given a Kong or any other toy) When he is in there you can say "Good boy, good kennel!" and let him walk back out. Simple enough, right?
Now that we are getting him comfortable with being in the crate with the door open as well as when the door is shut, you will start to leave the room while he is eating and the crate door is shut. First, start off with about 30 seconds and gradually increase the amount of time you leave the room. Once, you have done this successfully and he is not whining or going crazy in the crate for about 5 minutes, he is ready for the next step.
The last step of the crate training regiment is leaving the house for a short amount of time while he is crated. Go get the mail or talk to a neighbor. When you come back in and he is calm you will give tons of praise and treats when you let him out of the crate.
Depending on the dog crate training can typically be accomplished in a few days to a week. Some dogs may take a little bit longer, but that's okay! Slow and steady wins the race.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have and if you like the article let me know!
As dog owners it is our job to ensure that our dog leads a happy and balanced life.
We must also be fair and consistent leaders. As a leader we must be able to tell our dog when they do something wrong and show them what we see as an acceptable behavior. However, we must also praise our dog when they offer us a behavior we see as acceptable. Often we are quick to correct and fail to praise.
To be able to correct our dogs behaviors we must first know the difference between punishment and correction.
Punishment is a dead end street. If we punish our dog and do not tell them what is an acceptable behavior in our eyes, they will only learn that a certain behavior makes us as humans angry or agitated. However, they will not learn what we would like them to do instead.
Example: Your dog is jumping up on guests when guests come to your front door, you get frustrated, yell at him then you proceed to put him in his crate or outside. This is a band aid solution.
Many times as owners we will choose the easiest way to "fix" something but this is not necessarily what is best for our dog. A band aid solution is pretty much just a nice word for being lazy. The correct way to fix this problem is to show your dog the proper way to greet someone at the door.
Some people may not see a problem with this band aid solution so let me give an example of a better way to solve this problem. After all, we are trying to learn to become fair and consistent leaders.
In this scenario we gave Max an "off" command and let Max know what was an acceptable behavior for when a guest enters the house. Once this is consistently implemented this will become a learned behavior for Max and he will offer this anytime the doorbell rings.
Since we've gone over being fair let's now go over being consistent. Consistency is key, I cannot stress that enough. We have to be consistent with our dogs. Everyone in the family must be on the same page and willing to help work towards the goals we have for Max. Think of how confusing it would be for Max if Annie lets him jump up on her friends when they come over but when Mom has guests over he must offer a totally different behavior. Super confusing, right? Teamwork makes the dream work!


Adding main WP Network Blog Posts to all other sites?
I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to pull the Blog posts from the main site (uretekicr.com) and display them on all the other sites in the network. If you look at the home page, the posts on the bottom right need to be the same for all the other "affiliate" sites. So, on http://uretek-heartland.com (an existing affiliate site) the Post feed on the bottom right corner would be the same as the main and when clicked would link to the main sites blog post.
Is this something that I can do with Autoblog? If not, can you point me in the right direction on how to accomplish this?
You can indeed do this with autoblog!
Do you have any specific usage questions?
Thanks for the follow up. I did end up resolving this but I ended up hand coding it. It's just a PHP if statement that says if the Blog ID is 1, then show the normal recent posts ... else display the RSS feed. I wanted to minimize my clients efforts during the setup of additional network sites so this was the route I took.
The Auto Blog plugin did work just fine though.
Excellent, thanks for updating us Mike.

Inbox Business Tech Plans 1.5 billion PKR IPO
Written by Ali Leghari Jun 1 · 1 min read>
Inbox Business Tech, one of Pakistan's largest tech firms plans to release 1.5 billion rupees in IPO as the country moves on from manual paperwork.
Chief Executive Officer Mir Nasir said in an interview in Karachi, "The company plans to sell a 39 percent stakes in the IPO scheduled for June".
The company by selling its 39 percent stake is targeting revenue of $100 million.
Pakistan is slow in digital transformation but this is all going to change as the government is targeting disruption to outdated practices to fuel economy of the country. Moreover, in recent budget speech (2017-18), government has announced tax breaks for Information Technology, and Small and Medium Businesses. Technology companies and startups will be exempted from sales tax for the first three years of their establishment. Owing to these tax breaks, these sectors will be able to flourish and help the economy of Pakistan.
These steps indicate that the government is committed to changing the outdated manual paperwork culture in the country and promoting tech companies.
CEO of the Inbox company said, "Our own industries are now starting and taking notice of the digital disruption concept and they are getting more and more automated", he further asserted, "We need Pakistani Tatas and Wipros".
The company as of now is generating 80 percent of its revenue from the government sector, handling government's big projects such as mass transport system in Lahore and Rawalpindi.
As shown in the graph, one can clearly see that Pakistan is lagging in Asia in terms of spending money in the technology sector. However, as said earlier, the government is going to incentivise tech sector, so that it can flourish and prosper.
Dell Inc. has also put more focus in Pakistan as the economy of the country is getting better.
Chee Wei Chue, Vice President for Asia Emerging Markets at Dell EMC said, "Pakistan has huge potential for tech investors".

Democratic Action Updates
Political Strategy for a Permanent Democratic Majority
Political Strategy Notes
by J.P. Green, June 14th, 2018 6:31 AM EST
A FiveThirtyEight.com chat session responds to the question, "Will Voters Give Trump Credit For North Korea?" Among the possibilities, as Perry Bacon, Jr. sees it: "I don't think the agreement reached this week means a ton. If there are no North Korean nuke tests between now and Election Day 2018 but also no big deal between Trump and Kim, then North Korea is not a real Election Day factor. It recedes from the news. I don't think this summit itself changes the midterm dynamics that much….The media will move on from this issue back to Mueller/Pruitt/Trump scandals/tweets, etc. People just don't think about foreign policy that much in general." Micah Cohen adds, "How's this for a starting point: Voters will view Trump's North Korea policy through their normal partisan lens … unless (i) it very clearly goes south and a substantial portion of elected Republicans begin to criticize it, or (ii) it very clearly goes well and even the commenters in the media are praising it?…But the 90 percent confidence interval of likely outcomes probably fails to break partisan biases….And you can see those biases in the pre-summit polling:" Clare Malone suggests, "I agree about the midterms. It could affect 2020 more, or at least play a part."
I'm a fan of both Robert DeNiro and Samantha Bee. But Frank Bruni makes a good point in his 'open letter' column, "How to Lose the Midterms and Re-elect Trump" at The New York Times: "I get that you're angry. I'm angry, too. But anger isn't a strategy. Sometimes it's a trap. When you find yourself spewing four-letter words, you've fallen into it. You've chosen cheap theatrics over the long game, catharsis over cunning….Many voters don't hear your arguments or the facts, which are on your side. They just wince at the din…It's about maturity, pragmatism and plain old smarts — and the necessity of all three when the stakes are this high…"When they go low, we go high," said another first lady, Michelle Obama, at the Democratic National Convention in 2016. It's a fine set of marching orders, disobeyed ever since." Of course actors and entertainers should have their say, like everyone else. But Bruni's column should be a keeper for all public figures who want their comments to be strategically-sound.
Vox's Dylan Scott says polls indicate "Democrats have a good shot at turning Ohio blue again in 2018," and notes that, "Brown, a popular two-term incumbent, should already be viewed as the favorite, but both polls showed him running far ahead of Renacci:…Quinnipiac: Brown leads Renacci, 51 percent to 34 percent…Suffolk: Brown is again way ahead of Renacci, 53 percent to 36 percent…DeWine had been considered the slight favorite in a state that has been trending red, with no statewide elected Democrats except Brown, and where Donald Trump won by 8 points in 2016. But both surveys actually found Cordray ahead:…Quinnipiac: Cordray narrowly led DeWine 42 percent to 40 percent…Suffolk: Cordray had a bigger lead over DeWine, 43 percent to 36 percent…But the findings were striking enough that after their release, the University of Virginia's Crystal Ball said it was shifting the Ohio governor's race from Lean Republican to Toss-Up and the Senate race from Lean Democrat to Likely Democrat."
At The Upshot, Neil Irwin addresses a question of enormous consequence that doesn't get enough coverage, "If the Robots Come for Our Jobs, What Should the Government Do?" Trump's antagonistic trade policies are a distraction from more immediate, real-world causes of job loss. It's less about the role of tariffs than automation and U.S. industry's investing too much in other countries. Regarding automation, Irwin writes that "Some of the potential answers are big, bold ideas that have gained traction in particular ideological circles. A universal basic income — the idea that the government simply give each citizen enough money every month to support basic needs — has fans among both free-market libertarians and socialists….But other ideas starting to percolate in economic policy circles may have advantages in terms of cost and political viability." Irwin flags several other ideas emerging from think tanks, including shorter terms for patents and trademarks, shorter work-weeks (work-sharing), expanding subsidized re-training and "life-long learning accounts," greater 'portability' of benefits, and expanding the earned-income tax-credit. It would be good to see more Democrats developing proposals that include some of these measures and addressing the rvages of automation more directly.
Robert Atkinson argues in "The Pro-Growth Minimum Wage" at Democracy: A Journal of Ideas, however, that automation is a desireable consequence of raising the minimum wage, in part because somebody has to make and service the new machines. But mostly Atkinson is concerned with better progressive messaging in support of the minimum wage. "If progressives want to break through this frustrating stalemate and get a higher minimum wage over the finish line—at least in more states, if not in Congress—it's time for them to make the case for a higher minimum wage on the grounds of growth first, and fairness second. In other words, not only should progressives stop ceding ground to opponents when it comes to jobs and GDP growth, they should rightly assert that a higher minimum wage would actually improve both. In other words: If we want to grow the U.S. economy, not just redistribute more of its fruits to low-income workers, we need to raise the minimum wage. This argument is much more likely to prevail…what's truly important is how many jobs there are in the U.S. economy after raising the minimum wage…There are too many low-wage, low-skill jobs, too little investment by companies in new machinery and high-performance work organizations, and too little support by government for those organizations, including skills development. Getting out of this trap will require a wide range of policies, including better programs to boost worker skills. But no policy change is more vital here than a higher minimum wage. And, as such, progressives will need to champion such a move, by highlighting the essential role it will play in creating a robust economy and growth for all."
Democrats have been gifted ample material for a powerful 'weathervane' ad in the Trump Administration's decision to gut the highly-popular pre-existing health care provision of the Affordable Care Act. WaPo's Fact Checkers Glenn Kessler and Meg Kelly document the history of Trump's comments supporting pre-existing condistion coverage on at least ten occasions — in stark contrast to his recently authorizing the gutting of the measure. As the authors conclude, "With no explanation or warning, the president now supports an effort to nullify the provisions that make it possible for millions of people to purchase affordable insurance. Thus this new position, directly contradicting his repeated stance as a candidate and as president, qualifies as a flip-flop."
Some insights from Meredith Ferguson's "Cracking the Code of Young Voter Turnout" at Campaigns & Elections: "Consider who young people are today, and for whom they're being asked to vote. They're the most racially and culturally diverse generation in American history. Forty-six percent identify as a race or ethnicity other than white. Yet, women and minorities each make up less than 20 percent of lawmakers in the 115th Congress. According to the CDC, eight percent of high schoolers identify as LGBTQ, while only one percent of Congress does. The average member is 57 years old — that's among the highest average in recent history…Young people also refuse to be bound by the traditional ideological boxes. The plurality — 46 percent — of our survey respondents said they identify as independent or unaffiliated and 50 percent view themselves as moderates. While young people may be considered liberal on many social issues, those positions reflect more of a societal shift than a political philosophy…For example, even a majority of our respondents who identify as conservative support universal background checks for gun purchases and believe that the government has a responsibility to ensure health coverage for all."
In his Washington Post column, "Trump's America goes full Charles Dickens," Dana Milbank spotlights the glaring contradiction between GOP elected officials mouthing of cliched concern for opiate addicts and migrant children and their failure to support anything resembling substantial legislation to address the crises. "This is why the show of compassion rings hollow: Republican lawmakers aren't willing to stand up to the source of their Dickensian dilemma. Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) spoke out against Trump — and lost his primary Tuesday. Rep. Martha Roby (R-Ala.) once expressed concern about Trump — and was forced into a runoff. Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who is retiring, complains his GOP colleagues won't defend their own trade principles because they don't want to "poke the bear…Republicans may be afraid voters will see them as heartless — but they are more afraid of crossing Trump."
"The problem with this administration is that everything it does is a distraction from everything else it does," writes Eric Alterman at The Nation. "Trade? Immigration? Economic equality? Education? Environmental protection? Workers' rights? Women's rights? Diplomacy? Whatever it is, to borrow from Groucho Marx, they're against it. And they will also lie about it. And they will complain about being asked about it…Trump's genius for distraction, self-pity, and entertaining idiocy succeeds not only in normalizing his psychopathic behavior and malevolent prejudices but also in hiding the fact that institutions that protect our freedom and democratic rights are teetering beneath a ferocious assault…Trump supporters and their media apologists complain that news coverage of this administration is overwhelmingly negative. In fact, it's nowhere near negative enough. That's because it is piecemeal and professional, and cannot help itself from trying to be fair to "both sides," bending over backward to treat Trump as somehow normal." Well put. Now Dems could use some fresh ideas for addressing the media coverage problems associated with Trump's distractions and false equivalency journalism.

Want a suggestion for journalists? Glad you asked.
Journalists need to think ahead, hours, days, or weeks ahead, before asking any question of any Trump official. The journalists are winging it all the time. You see it with the modern movie actors, too. They never study their lines, or memorize their lines in order to turn them over in their minds. No depth.
Take Acosta and Sanders at the press briefing today. Acosta pressed back over the separation of kids from their parents, and the incarceration of the kids and the parents, but he didn't have a plan for engaging Sanders on that subject. Karem jumps in with moral outrage, which is fine, but the outrage was not decisively targeted onto a conclusion which can be attached to the outrage. Atmospheric outrage is fine, but everybody breathes it, so it means nothing. Paula Reid did better, but got no meaningful support from anybody else. One person can always be knocked down, ignored, ridiculed, or deflected. The environment was uncontrolled by the journalists due to lack of planning, by the group, or internally as individuals.
Nazified people wing it all the time. They have to. The way to beat them is to get in front of them.

Democrats are being pushed to the wall with activists and liberal society demanding reforms that in their essence mean open borders.
Activists think that with DACA in the judicial pocket now is the time to push about the children issue in order to push congressional negotiations on what are actually unrelated issues (ie visa lottery and family reunification).
The Trump administration seems to see things different and are therefore resisting on all issues.
Trump is focused on the wall and catch and release plus not further expanding the definition of persons eligible for asylum.
Common sense reforms are now impossible with this polarization.
When the electorate actually gets a chance to see debates (as opposed to partisan media reporting) on the immigration issue Republicans will in fact have to respond on why the keep children detained, but Democrats will have to respond why they want parents to be able to abscond or if they would support whole/family detention facilities.
Martin Lawford on June 14th, 2018 - 12:17pm
Robert Atkinson argues that liberals should present raising the minimum wage as a means of promoting economic growth. Now consider the cases of the USA, the UK, Germany and France. USA minimum wage $7.25/hr and GDP growth, 2.9% as of 2018. UK: $10.49 and GDP growth 1.6%. France: $11.49 and 2.1%. Germany: $9.97 and 2.5%. The country with the lowest minimum wage also has the higher GDP growth and the country with the next-lowest minimum wage has the next-highest rate of GDP growth. There is no clear evidence from these examples that a higher minimum wage will stimulate economic growth, although there are other arguments for raising the minimum wage.
Sources of above figures: Minimum wage rates from the United Nations and economic growth rates from the International Monetary Fund.
Even the figures you present are inconsistent internally. Externally there are many ways to prove they are proof of very little.
I would agree that Democrats are doing a lousy job of explaining the minimum wage issue.
Outside the biggest cities a $15 or even $12 minimum needs to be explained in terms of phasing in. Preferably the federal government would allow and encourage differentiated minimums in rural, suburban and urban areas.

The Nation article is a disgrace. When are Democrats going to stop psychoanalyzing Trump and pathologizing his voters?
Libya, Cuba, Burma/Myanmar, Iran and North Korea have all made significant progress in normalization thanks to the bipartisan efforts of many administrations.
Americans are so polarized they can't see success even when it hits them in the face.
The reasons for the United States taking different approaches to negotiations with allies, non-allies and competitors should be obvious.
North Korea is not a competitor and improving relations with it allow to neutralize it in the international scene and move it a bit away from China. Diplomacy needs to be careful and probably slow.
The G-7 countries are supposed to be allies and therefore negotiations can be hostile without creating lasting hostility. Diplomacy can be messy and quick.
Iran is competing for influence in the Middle East and being a spoiler in Syria, Yemen and the Middle East peace process while not being particularly positive in Irak, Afghanistan and Lebanon. Diplomacy with Iran already produced results with Obama, so now the strategy is to pressure to get additional results.
Russia and China can be spoilers in all these negotiations and in the meanwhile they are subject of separate negotiations regarding other domestic and global issues.
Why can Trump meet with China but not Russia?
Until the Special Counsel wraps up his work? It seems Trump is actually respecting this as he has refused to schedule summits with Putin.
Where is the scandal?
And why are people rejoicing at the speculative conclusion that the Korea summit didn't produce enough?
Trump derangement syndrome is exactly the same as with every President.
Liberals don't have the grasp about the facts or about the history.
The US periodically recalibrates foreign trade when it gets out of control.
There is nothing inherently wrong with this.
The US runs a trade deficit, a remittances deficit and a foreign aid deficit.
It is also a military and energy security provider, albeit a very imperfect one.
Anti-Americanism may be popular but it is not exactly grounded in realities.
The fact that American elites are so unaware of facts and history that it leads them to be against US interests shows the problems with globalized cosmopolitanism.
The US can't lead in fixing the world's problems if its own house is a mess.
Overblown differences inside the liberal G-7 and Democrats messing up their rhetoric.
Will Democrats ever learn that you don't oppose American interests in international negotiations regardless of who is the President?
Why are so many people giving in to the temptation to backing the Europeans against Trump when this is exactly the political framework he desperately needs?
If the US is in a trade war the very least Democrats can do is hope Trump, not Merkel, wins.
This is a complete do over of the many times liberals have sounded unpatriotic instead of using the power of Congress to shape debates.
So weird seeing Germany's Merkel portrayed as leader of the free world when she insists on buying ever increasing quantities of gas from Putin's Russia and on dumping half of Europe into austerity.

I read a Thomas Friedman column this week that really required a smackdown. So I supplied one at New York:
How much political capital should Democrats invest in a probably doomed effort to save the political career of Liz Cheney? Earlier this week, Never Trump Republican Linda Chavez penned a column urging Wyoming Democrats to take a dive this November in order to give the incumbent a chance to survive as an independent, assuming (as it safe) that Cheney will be purged in her own party's primary. And now, in an apparent coincidence, in comes New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman suggesting a far more radical step by Democrats to align themselves with the small slice of Republicans who follow Cheney's example in repudiating Donald Trump. He wrote:
"Is that what America needs in 2024 — a ticket of Joe Biden and Liz Cheney? Or Joe Biden and Lisa Murkowski, or Kamala Harris and Mitt Romney, or Stacey Abrams and Liz Cheney, or Amy Klobuchar and Liz Cheney? Or any other such combination."
Friedman phrases this as a question, but clearly he thinks it's a good idea given the "existential moment" America would face if Trump is allowed to regain the presidency in 2024. It's a bit of a loaded question, too, since it postulates that nothing short of a previously unimaginable "sacrifice" by Democrats and Never Trump Republicans alike can stop Trump — and that it would, in fact, succeed in stopping Trump.
I certainly agree that Democrats dumping Kamala Harris to give their vice-presidential nomination to a conservative Republican who opposes legalized abortion and is a militarist by conviction and heredity would be a "sacrifice," to put it very mildly. It would also be very, very weird. Friedman cites the recent establishment of a mind-bending coalition government in Israel to thwart Bibi Netanyahu as a development comparable to what he is suggesting. But as he acknowledges, Israel has a parliamentary system in which multiparty coalitions are the rule rather than the exception. A presidential system in which parties invariably run separate tickets for the top job is another thing altogether.
The U.S. has had exactly one example of multiparty fusionism in a presidential election. In 1864, in the midst of the Civil War, Republicans nominated Democrat Andrew Johnson of Tennessee — then serving as U.S. military governor of Tennessee — to run with Lincoln on a "Union" ticket. The experiment did not turn out well, beginning with Johnson's drunken inaugural address in 1865 and continuing with the racist solidarity he exhibited toward ex-Confederates after Lincoln's assassination, culminating in his impeachment and near removal from office. There are important reasons politicians sort themselves out into major parties, which should be apparent in an era of polarization over issues other than the scofflaw behavior of Donald Trump.
Is the threat of Trump's return to the White House the equivalent of the U.S. Civil War? Not in itself, I would contend, though that horrific development could lead eventually to grave conditions comparable if not equal to a civil war. The premise that a Biden-Cheney fusion ticket would uniquely doom Trump to failure is even more dubious. There has never been much evidence of a mass following for Never Trump Republicans, and such as it is, it is mostly composed of people who would (and did in 2020) gladly vote for Biden and Harris. The baleful effect that replacing Harris with Cheney on the ticket would have on Democratic turnout could easily offset or exceed the alleged benefits of bipartisan and trans-ideological fusion.
So Democrats should say thanks, but no thanks, to Friedman for the idea of submitting their party to some sort of unwieldy and unnatural coalition of national salvation, so long as there is the slightest possibility of beating Trump the old-fashioned way. Liz Cheney deserves great respect for the courage she has shown in defying Trump at the expense of her own career, and if Biden is reelected with her support, perhaps she deserves an ambassadorship, a minor Cabinet post, or a major sub-Cabinet position. But she has no business being at the top of the line of succession to a Democratic president.

The idea was a no-brainer being that Hip Hop and gaming have been two of Peters' passions since childhood. Originally, Konsole Kingz was to debut as a DVD magazine that featured Hip Hop artists, video game reviews and models. While that didn't go as planned, Peters has still managed to turn Konsole Kingz into a multimedia entity that includes the website WWW.KONSOLEKINGZ.COM and a store in the XBOX Live Marketplace, both of which feature original content and celebrity influence.
In addition to that Peters used his platform to leverage deals with companies like Microsoft, Electronic Arts and 2K Sports to become the ambassador for their products in the urban and Hip Hop community. Peters and Konsole Kingz specializes in PR and virtual goods with highlights including several engagements with Microsoft, producing 2 of Capcom's Fight Clubs and working with 2K Sports' PR team on the NBA2K series. With virtual goods Konsole Kingz has become known for their custom exclusive gamer pics. Add to that creating events bridging Hip Hop, gamers and casual fans of both, Peters and idea are set to change the way you look at two of the world's most popular cultures.
Prior to launching Konsole Kingz, Peters attended Louisiana State University and worked corporations including IBM and Motorola. While at LSU he hosted an underground radio show and music video show on campus television. His background in gaming goes back as far as the Magnavox Odyssey2 and he has recently teamed with reality television star and songwriter Kandi Burruss to create the "Kandy Koated Spades" game for the iPhone. When he's not in front of a console he enjoy his spare time cooking and raising a family of four.
James prides himself in being born and raised in the birth place of Hip Hop, Bronx NY. Since an early age, James has been a fan of Hip Hop and has always looked for ways to use it as a motivational tool. He has been working in the technology field for over 12 years. He holds a Masters of Science in Telecommunications and has a Bachelors of Arts in Computer Science.

Hello! My name is Cason Justice. I'm a teacher at Swansboro High School, and I'll get right to the point. Our students and teachers here want to make a difference in the world. We know how lucky we are to live in a country of such wealth and blessings where the majority of people can take things like food and water for granted. We feel it's time we started using our abundance to help others who weren't born as fortunate as we were.
Many people around the world don't have the luxury of clean water. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. Girls and women are taken out of schools simply to fetch dirty water from miles and miles away. But it doesn't have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.
100% of the money raised will be used to build clean water projects, and when they're complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
We here at Swansboro High School started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects, and we're looking for anyone who can help us raise $10,000 - the cost it takes to build a well in a third-world community.
Please donate to our campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help!
This campaign closed on Dec 31, 2017 and the money is being sent to the field. Still want to donate? You can give directly to charity: water.
Good luck to you and your students and I feel I should say "Thank You"

Home News CWEA Member Teresa Herrera Named Manager of Silicon Valley Clean Water
CWEA Member Teresa Herrera Named Manager of Silicon Valley Clean Water
Members in the News, Women in Water
Support for our coverage of Women in Water is provided by DN Tanks.
The Silicon Valley Clean Water (SVCW) Commission unanimously selected Teresa Herrera as manager, succeeding Daniel T. Child, who retired from public service and has begun his own wastewater consultancy business.
Herrera becomes the third manager in SVCW's nearly 50-year history following Child and James Bewley, and the first woman to fill the post. She joined SVCW in March 2008 as plant engineer to create its first engineering department and implement its then $339 million Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
In 2012, she was promoted to assistant manager/Authority engineer, broadening responsibilities to include Information Services, Safety, and Administrative Services Divisions, and continuing to oversee a now $833 million CIP and $2 million annual operating budget. In 2016 her position was reclassified to assistant manager/chief engineering officer with broader responsibilities for SVCW's Regional Environmental Sewer Conveyance Upgrade program (RESCU).
SVCW Commission Chairman John Seybert said "our Board is delighted to unanimously appoint Teresa as manager. Teresa's background in private-sector leadership, and her years at SVCW as the assistant manager and chief engineering officer, have prepared her well to lead the organization into the future. We are excited for Teresa's leadership and completely confident she will provide excellent leadership and build on the already great reputation SVCW has in the community and industry."
Following her earning a Master of Science in Civil Engineering in 1988 from University of California at Davis (preceded by her B.S. in civil engineering at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo), Herrera launched a nearly 20-year period with Whitley Burchett & Associates in Walnut Creek before joining SVCW in 2008. WBA (since merged with another company) was a civil/environmental consulting business whose clients included wastewater and water public agencies. She started as an entry-level engineer and worked her way up to serving as company president from 2001 to 2008. She was responsible for business development, company growth and management, and employee development.
Herrera has been an award-winning participant in several professional affiliations. She has served as a board member of the California Water Environmental Association's (CWEA) San Francisco Bay Section, California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA), Society of Women Engineers' Mt. Diablo Section, Cal Poly Industrial Advisory Board, and Lindsay Wildlife Museum in Walnut Creek.
She is a recipient of the Al Ditman Professional Development Award that recognizes an individual who has greatly contributed to the professional development of CWEA San Francisco Bay section members. She also is a recipient of the CWEA 5-S Shovel award that recognizes individuals active in protecting the water environment through participation in local, state, and/or federal sponsored activities. The Select Society of Sanitary Sludge Shovelers (5S) is used by water environment associations to honor those who have contributed to the industry.
"I am grateful to the SVCW Commission for its confidence in me," Herrera said. "My major focus over the past 10 years and now continuing forward has been improvements and replacement of SVCW's aging and failing infrastructure and resource recovery in the form of water and energy.
"As manager my focus is maintaining strong leadership and mentorship within SVCW, ensuring success with the Agency's RESCU program, and maintaining positive relationships with SVCW's member agencies, Commission, and our 220,000 customers."


At its annual meeting in mid-November, the Ontario Corn Committee (OCC) spent much time discussing how best to respond to the current Gibberella ear rot outbreak that is resulting in the high levels of DON in corn this year.
Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency [PMRA] recently announced it is restarting the review process for mancozeb.
All current final decisions and proposals regarding MRLs for mancozeb products will be removed and a new proposal for consultation will be posted.
The PMRA released its evaluation for mancozeb and metiram products in June 2018. According to that decision, all uses of products containing mancozeb (Manzate, Penncozeb, Dithane, Ridomil Gold MZ and Gavel) and metiram (Polyram) were to be cancelled with the exception of foliar applications to potatoes. Representatives from the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association and the Canadian Horticulture Council met with PMRA to voice their concerns about the loss of these products and a new review process was agreed upon.
The decision for metiram could not be reversed for legal reasons. This means that as of June 2020, Polyram cannot be used on any crop except potatoes and the label will reflect that change.
The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of minor use label expansion registrations for Venture L Herbicide for control of labeled weeds on rhubarb, the bulb onion subgroup 3-07A, green onions, caneberries subgroup 13-07A and lettuce in Canada.
Venture L Herbicide was already labeled for use on a number of crops in Canada for control of several weeds.
A potato variety genetically engineered to resist potato blight can help reduce the use of chemical fungicides by up to 90 per cent, according to a new study - drastically reducing the environmental impact of potato farming.
Potato blight, caused by a water mould called Phytophthora infestans, can rapidly obliterate potato crops, and is one of the biggest problems in potato farming.
Corteva Agriscience, Agriculture Division of DowDuPont, recently announced that the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) in Canada has granted Dow AgroSciences new label registration for Closer Insecticide for the control of Campylomma verbasci (mullein bug) effective immediately.
This announcement is significant as it means Canadian apple growers now have full access to a highly effective product for pest control.
"Closer has always been known for its targeted and quick control of aphids and other orchard pests. With this registration, growers can have even greater confidence in the quality and efficacy of Closer on apples when outbreaks occur as well as for resistance management," explains Tyler Groeneveld, category leader, Horticulture with Corteva Agriscience.
Closer Insecticide, powered by Isoclast active, is a revolutionary product ideal for control of both resistant and non-resistant pests, delivering the active ingredient sulfoxaflor, which is classified by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee as the sole member of IRAC Subgroup 4C Sulfoximines.
The active ingredient moves quickly through the plant to deliver excellent systemic and translaminar activity. Pests are controlled both through contact and by ingestion, resulting in fast knockdown and residual control.
Closer is highly selective and has minimal impact on beneficial insects. The properties and overall spectrum of activity of Closer Insecticide makes it an excellent fit for treatment when outbreaks occur as well as part of Integrated Pest Management Programs (IPM) to minimize flare-ups.
