Slow Work Week For The Penguins
March 30, 2009 - American Hockey League (AHL) - Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins News Release

The Exceptional Public Access Plan for the Ballona Wetlands
The Ballona Wetlands near the heart of Silicon beach is an ecological reserve treasure. The bordering cities are Marina Del Rey, Playa Del Rey, Culver City, Westchester and Playa Vista. This new project is personal and exciting! Finally 600 more acres of beautiful nature with easy access for bicyclists, pedestrians, and handicapped to enjoy with less impact while preserving the natural beauty. This give us a safer alternative to getting out of our cars and be able to have easy access to local communities. This state proposal creates 6 miles of new foot trails and nearly 4 miles of bike paths and will create the second largest nature habitat in the City of LA! Yay!
The State's Proposed Restoration creates 6 Miles of New Foot Trails and nearly 4 Miles of Bike Paths, all Accessible from Multiple Points
By David W. Kay, Patch Contributor | Sep 17, 2018 3:12 pm ET | Updated Sep 21, 2018 10:19 am ET
Did you know California's Ballona Wetlands Restoration Project will create the second-largest natural habitat recreational area in the City of Los Angeles, second only to Griffith Park? Indeed, it will become the "Great Park" of coastal Los Angeles, but few people are talking about this 600-acre recreational jewel.
People most intimately familiar with the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve tend to focus on the wildlife benefits of the state's coming restoration project. As a member of Los Angeles' community of environmental professionals, I've often questioned supporters and peers about why they shy away from touting the public access and recreational benefits of this fantastic "undevelopment" project.
My sense from them is that many restoration advocates, particularly naturalists, view public access as a risky proposition for wildlife, if not well-regulated. In my opinion, these fears are unfounded and in fact, public access at recently completed large wetland restorations proves otherwise (1,2,3).
When completed, the proposed Ballona Wetlands Restoration Project (Link 4) will create nearly 6 miles of new pedestrian-only trails, including approximately 2,000 feet of elevated boardwalks to allow visitors to walk next to the wetlands and get close-up wildlife views. Trails would have native plants on either side where possible, and include signs and resting points with seating. The boardwalks will be specially designed to accommodate disabled persons. Just not that into wildlife? Then just come and have a picnic, read a book, or paint a canvas.
Two east-west bike paths, instead of the current single one on the north Ballona Creek levee, would connect with the Coastal bike path at the Beach – one north and one south of Ballona Creek. Also, we'll get a brand new bike and pedestrian bridge over Ballona Creek next to Lincoln Boulevard, separated from car traffic, so folks who live south of the creek will no longer have to navigate the hair-raising Lincoln Blvd. car bridge to access the bike paths. See the entire trails plan view below. Right click on the image to open in a new tab and see the details.
Fenced overlooks along paths and trails will provide views and information about the Ballona Reserve (see figure below). Overlooks would include informational and directional signage in some locations. Benches to accommodate small groups also would be included in some locations (for your picnic).
Three monument signs will be built at critical street intersections to identify the Ballona Reserve to passing vehicles, cyclists, or by pedestrians. The signs would be placed on the southwest corner of Lincoln Boulevard and Fiji Way, the northwest corner of Culver Boulevard and SR-90 off ramp, and on Culver Boulevard, north of Nicholson Street.
Five areas in the Reserve would give visitors close-up opportunities to learn more about wetlands habitat, animals, and the larger watershed system. Educational art pieces may be included as well. Sitting and picnic areas, trash receptacles and bathroom facilities will be provided at the main entrance point. Parking will be located in a few areas, but mainly where county vehicles currently park on Fiji Way. Access would only be allowed from dawn to dusk.
Since state law allows only well-regulated access to Ecological Reserves, most of the Ballona Reserve is presently not accessible except via guided tours conducted by a few non-profit organizations. This will all change with the state's project, which allows the public to freely travel a broad network of established trails and paths, but prohibits any off-trail access. Rangers on patrol will ensure folks stay on trails, keep dogs on leash and follow other rules and regulations customarily established for natural areas.
Above Photo: Public trail at the Malibu Lagoon Restoration Project.
Scores of coastal wetlands have already been restored in California, pursuant to the Coastal Act and funded by bond measures repeatedly approved by voters. At most of these sites, well-regulated trails and paths replaced old "social trails" which the public had worn into the landscape in a helter-skelter fashion.
Above Photo: Unregulated "helter-skelter" social trails in the Ballona Reserve, Near Via Marina.
Many studies showed these social trails potentially impacted wildlife, but the impacts were eliminated once fenced, signed and properly maintained trails were provided as replacements. Even absent ranger patrols, people tended to police each other in wildlife areas, studies show. During sensitive breeding periods, some trails are temporarily detoured to protect wildlife at critical times. This will be the case at Ballona as well.
Above Photo: Elevated boardwalk at the San Dieguito Wetlands Restoration, near Del Mar.
If you look forward to the recreational benefits of the Ballona Project, it's important to let your elected representatives know. Don't let a vocal minority speak for you! Send an e-mail to L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin at mike.bonin@lacity.org, and tell Mike you "support approval of the state's plan to restore Ballona to a full tidal wetland, including proposed public access." Councilman Bonin will represent our interests on the state's proposed restoration plan.
Look forward to packing the kids or dogs in the car on a Sunday morning and having a nice picnic walk at the "Great Park." Enjoy your Ballona Wetlands!

A decade after the housing crisis, a new story emerges
Interesting to keep up with the housing market a decade after the housing bust back in 2008. Ten years later has it recovered? Are we in a bubble again? States like CA have recovered with Northern California's Silicon Valley leading the pack with a 74% increase over the previous real estate bubble. Location matters most when buying real estate. Urban areas with sustainable economies fair the best in the long run. According to Trulia there was a 53% gain in 100 of the largest metropolitan areas. In contrast rural areas continue to stagnate at only a 28% gain. Silicon Valley and Denver had the largest gains. Las Vegas, Chicago and Orlando are still 14-16% below their levels before the pre-crisis financial bust. Population growth increases with robust job opportunities for urban centers in contrast to declining rural areas which are seeing migrations and stagnate growth. This is true also in Silicon Beach area's Playa Vista the tech hub center of Los Angeles fueling a higher demand along with rising housing prices. The housing market is doing well in our golden state of California.
I'm a real estate broker associate with Re/Max Estate properties based out of Marina Del Rey/Venice Beach the epic center of LA's silicon beach and loving serving the community with all their real estate needs. Feel free to connect with me with any questions. Thinking about buying or selling in the area? I'm here to assist as I cherish the beach lifestyle. Relocating so many to the area is so rewarding.

Re/Max Estate Properties
CBS News by Rachael Layne
As many as 10 million Americans are believed to have lost their homes because of the financial crisis that erupted a decade ago, according to the St. Louis Federal Reserve. The crisis wiped out almost $8 trillion in household stock-related wealth and $6 trillion in home value after banks, mortgage lenders and financial companies provided loans to speculators, house flippers and people who couldn't afford to pay, spinning the economy into the worst financial disaster since the Great Depression.A decade later, how does the U.S. housing market look?
Homeownership is below pre-crisis levels
At the end of June, roughly 64 percent of homes were owner-occupied, according to statistics from the St. Louis Fed. That's below the historic highs of 2004, four years before the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, widely used to mark the acceleration of the crisis. The current homeownership rate represents a slight increase from the 2016 low of 63 percent. The gain may signal that Wall Street is trading more mortgages as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates and lawmakers ease some of the post-crisis regulations on banks.
Fewer young adults and minorities own homes
Between 2004 and 2016, overall homeownership rates plummeted 8 percent, according to a study from the Pew Research Center. Demographics also changed.
Younger Americans felt the impact more than older homeowners. For adults between 25 to 44, the homeownership rate dropped 16 percent. And for adults younger than 35, the rate plunged 18 percent.
A decade later, it's clear the crisis delayed a traditional marker for adulthood -- homeownership -- for a greater number of young people.
"The typical household head is older now – age 51 today vs. 45 in 1994," the researchers wrote. "Older households tend to be more likely to own their homes than younger households, and thus today's homeownership rate is being propped up, in part, by an aging America." The crash is still being felt more keenly by non-white groups as well. Black households, for instance, also now own homes at a rate that's 16 percent lower, at 41 percent. That compared with ownership of white households at 72 percent, just a 5 percent slip in the same time period, according to the Pew study.
Prices are up, but are rising even faster in cities
If you live in a city, chances are real estate is now more expensive than in rural areas. Migration to cities is helping to drive the increase, according to a recent study from real estate website Trulia.
In the five years ending mid-2018, home values in the 100 biggest metropolitan areas rose 53 percent, according to Trulia. That's double the gain in rural areas, where property values rose 28 percent, the study found. The difference "between some of the largest metro areas and rural America is especially stark—many metros have seen robust growth in jobs and home prices, while many rural areas have stagnated," wrote Felipe Chacón, a housing economist for Trulia, in the report. "This divergence has boosted demand for housing in the nation's cities, fueling rapid rises in home prices.
A population shift to those urban areas is contributing
From 2012 to 2017, the U.S. population grew 3.7 percent. But in the 100 biggest metro areas, it expanded 4.8 percent. In rural areas, the population dipped 1 percent, the Trulia study found. Even among the urban areas, some cities are far more expensive than others. In Silicon Valley, the area around San Jose, California, the current median home is worth $1.29 million, statistics released this week by real estate search company Zillow showed. That's 74 percent higher than the top of the real estate bubble and more than double from its post-crisis low. Denver was next on the list of increases, with a value of $397,800. That represents a 66 percent rise.
Contrast that with Las Vegas, where values are still 16 percent below their pre-financial crisis level. Orlando and Chicago homes remain almost 14 percent below their pre-crisis values, according to Zillow.
Rising interest rates are also helping tap the breaks
The Federal Reserve has already raised interest rates twice this year, and is expected to hike them twice more to keep the economy -- and the housing market -- from overheating. "While housing affordability is still running above longer-term historical levels, rising prices and interest rates have taken some steam out of demand," Deutsche Bank economists wrote in an August note looking at the housing market.

They're baaack.
The Champlain Valley awoke this morning once again to the sounds of Corm, Coach and Lana — only this time from their computers and smartphones rather than the radio.
Steve Cormier ("Corm"), Tom Brennan ("Coach") and Lana Wilder ("Lana" launched a new, two-hour morning show on Northeast Sports Network (NSNSports.net). The show airs from 7 to 9 a.m. After the first of the year, the show will be simulcast on WCAXtra, WCAX-TV's secondary digital channel.
News of the deal with NSNSports was first reported back in November, but no date had been set for a launch.
"Corm & the Coach" has been broadcasting to the Champlain Valley for nearly two decades and was among the region's most popular morning talk shows until it ended in 2008. "Corm & the Coach" returned to the airwaves in 2009 but stopped broadcasting in April when the station they were on fell into financial difficulty. Wilder was let go from her morning radio gig at Star 92.9 FM earlier this year after seven years at the station and more than 20 years in the local market.
Monday's show was broadcast online, coupled with a live video stream.
Expected first-day guests included former UVM and NHL player Aaron Miller, Brigadier General Steven Cray from the Vermont Air National Guard and Burlington Free Press writer Mike Donoghue.
Beginning Monday, January 3, 2011, the morning show will also be simulcast on WCAXtra. WCAX's secondary digital channel located over-the-air on Digital 3.2, Comcast 168, Burlington Telecom 303, Charter 295 and Time Warner 165. WCAXtra could help the trio reach more than 300,000 homes throughout Vermont, New York and New Hampshire via television.
"We've been working to create this multimedia platform with the show at its epicenter for some time. It's finally coming together and we're excited to begin broadcasting." said Cormier. "Not only does this allow us to be back 'on the air' but it paves the way for other programs to follow, including The Big Sports Show with George Commo and Jack Healy."
The two-hour show will feature WCAX news and closed captioning will be provided.
Smart phones and computers? Bah! This internet business is just another passing fad, like lace parasols and Chubby Checker.
These three rascals will be back on the bread line soon enough. Just wait and see. Humbug!
Why? Why? Why? this show seems like a pseudo campaign for Corm to run for the School Board and they speak about nothing of relevance. They should stay on radio so we don't have to SEE them. Common Blowing your nose of TV

The Dementia of Petroleum Addiction?
By Craig Collins, Ph.D.
Monday May 03, 2010 - 09:42:00 PM
Petroleum executives assure us that their giant tankers and offshore oil rigs pose no danger to the environment; coal company CEOs insist that their mines are safe and that blasting away mountaintops is ecologically benign; natural gas companies insist that "fracking" deep underground geological formations will not contaminate fresh water aquifers; and nuclear power promoters tell us not to worry about core meltdowns or the disposal of millions of tons of highly radioactive waste.
Do we have S-T-U-P-I-D written on our foreheads? Or do we just choose to swallow these lies because, like addicts everywhere, we need these pushers to provide us with our daily energy fix?
These energy "suppliers" have a sordid history of crimes against nature and humanity and their assurances of safety have proven tragically wrong time after time. Clearly their drive for profit knows no ethical or legal boundaries. So why do we continue buy their lies, and reward them with lavish subsidies and tax breaks, instead of kicking our habit and sending these petroleum pushers to prison?
Just last year BP—who now tells us BP stands for "Beyond Petroleum," not British Petroleum—told the government that an oil spill like the one wreaking havoc in the Gulf was highly unlikely so they didn't need to install the remote controlled valves that could prevent an uncontrolled blowout. Beyond Petroleum?…more like Beyond Belief.
According to the watchdog group, Public Citizen, BP has the worst criminal rap sheet of any oil company—and that's no mean feat. In the last few years, BP has paid $485 million in fines and settlements to the US government for environmental crimes, willful neglect of worker safety, and penalties for manipulating energy markets. As BP's massive oil slick smothers the Gulf's fragile wetland ecosystems and lays waste to the fishing and tourist industries, assurances of safety are no more credible than the sworn testimony of a career criminal.
The same goes for the Massey Coal Company—the biggest coal mining business in central Appalachia. Massey insisted its Montcoal operation was safe right up to the day when their mine--that was repeatedly cited for improperly venting methane gas--exploded killing 29 people in the country's deadliest underground disaster in a quarter-century.
Last year, the number of citations issued against the mine more than doubled and the penalties proposed against the mine more than tripled. Massey was fined $897,325 over the last year, more than $382,000 for repeated serious violations involving its ventilation system. Andrew Tyler, a conveyer belt electrician, told the New York Times that live wires were often left exposed and that coal dust and methane accumulation were routinely ignored. Yet, after the explosion, Massey CEO Don Blankenship told Metronews radio that, despite the company's many violations, the Mine Safety and Health Administration would never have allowed the mine to operate if it had been unsafe.
It's time to clear our heads of gasoline fumes and our economic arteries of high-octane euphoria. Energy addiction is distorting our judgment and allowing these energy pushers to get away with murder and ecocide. Unless we come to our senses soon, we will have sacrificed the planet to feed our addiction.
Craig Collins, Ph.D., of California State University East Bay, is the author of the newly released book, TOXIC LOOPHOLES: Failures and Future prospects of Environmental Law (Cambridge University Press)


HIS art now fetches millions, but another of Melbourne's dwindling stock of public works by street artist Banksy was drilled into oblivion this afternoon by unsuspecting construction workers in Prahran.
The shop on the corner of Izett and Greville Streets was being converted into a cafe as the image of a parachuting rat dangled in harm's way.
"It's like they used it as a bullseye", said Jacqui Vidal, who runs a studio across the road. "What they've done is punch a hole right through the brick, which was an image of a parachuting rat. And they've put two pipes right through."
However, Ms Vidal said the unwitting builder was not to blame.
"I ran across the road and I was like 'do you know what you just did?' And he had no clue. Even when I told him that it was a Banksy he didn't know what a Banksy was."
Banksy is a pseudonym for the British graffiti artist whose artwork regularly sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Local street art advocate Fletcher Andersen blamed the council for the loss of one of the last Banksy images in Melbourne and damage to the "iconic" mural on the same wall, featuring other local artists.
"Stonnington doesn't have a register of any kind. It doesn't even have a policy on legal street art like Melbourne City Council does," he said. "They are just 'it's up on the wall, we'll get rid of it if we need to.'"
The City of Stonnington said enquiries should be directed to the building owner.
"The works were undertaken on a privately owned building and were privately organised. Council has no official register of street art," Stonnington CEO Warren Roberts said.
Mr Andersen said street art was key to battling the effects of gentrification in the area, which he said had local shop owners worried.
"All the culture has moved up to Fitzroy and Brunswick," he said. "Everybody has left the area and it's just a big place to get pissed."
Mr Andersen was coy about naming the location of other Banksy works for fear of vandalism, but he said they were getting rarer.
"Unless he comes back at some stage I don't think Melbourne will have too many more Banksys," he said.

Reviews of Somebodies and Nobodies
"Bob Fuller's book is a must-read for progressives of every stripe. It enables us to resolve a confusing core issue central to both society and our personal lives-hierarchy vs. equality. For decades, our value of equality in relationships and desire for a 'flatter' organizational structures has been challenged by our daily experience of rank and hierarchy, such as the natural hierarchy of parent-child, the organizational ladder of boss-underling at work, or the director, staff, and volunteers in non-profit groups. Bob Fuller shows us how to distinguish between appropriate ranking and the abuse of rank-rankism-and set aside the latter in our personal relationships, our organizations, and our international relations."
Bill Moyer, author of Doing Democracy
"Bob Fuller has started a fire and it will burn, baby, burn. It should burn in every leader's spirit as a matter of decency and good sense. It should burn in each of us. Kids should use this book. Teachers, voters, stockholders should all embrace anti-rankism. Our democracy needs it now."
John R. O'Neil, President, Center for Leadership Renewal; former president, California School of Professional Psychology; author of The Paradox of Success and Leadership Aikido
"This subtle and persuasive book subsumes all the dishonorable isms of human life-racism, sexism, ageism, elitism-under one telling phrase-rankism. By distinguishing between earned authority and specious rank, its pages illuminate everything, from the way rankism pervades (and perverts) education, to how human hearts can examine themselves, take responsibility, and change the world."
Pamela McCorduck, author of Machines Who Think and The Futures of Women
"Bob Fuller's ideas about rankism changed my personal behavior. I think they will change the world, in time. It is one of those 'click' realizations that you can't unclick-everything human looks different afterward, and you have to do something about it."
Stewart Brand, Global Business Network; The Long Now Foundation; Founder of The Whole Earth Catalog
"Somebody, nobody-in my time, I've been both. Most of us have. Robert Fuller breaks the taboo on speaking of rank as others have on race and gender. The message is simple; the message is vital: protect the dignity of others as you do your own. You have to stand up to understand the truth that deep inside every Somebody there is a standing Nobody."
Tommie Smith, Gold Medallist in the 200 meters at the Mexico City Olympics, holder of eleven world records in track, currently track coach at Santa Monica Community College
"In calling for a dignitarian movement, Bob Fuller invites us to look at ourselves through the lens of rank, as we've come to do though the lenses of race and gender. When you scrutinize life through the lens of rank what you see starring back at you is the face of human dignity."
Kim Spencer, President of Link TV
"Somebodies &Nobodies showed me that everybody can be a somebody."
Chris Catlett, contractor
"This book reminded me of times I've gotten the shaft for no good reason, and it showed me how to deal with this in the future. It also made me realize that I haven't always treated others any better."
Stormi Burton, Nurse's Aide
"Robert Fuller has broken the norm of silence. He brings to public awareness both the colossal and the petty ways responsible people routinely shame their 'immediate inferiors' to gain a false sense of personal worth. As the stinging anecdotes in this book attest, nowhere does humiliation happen more habitually than the workplace. This book is must reading for all corporate and government administrators."
Judith Wyatt and Chauncey Hare, family therapists and organization specialists, authors of Work Abuse: How to Recognize and Survive It.
"On 9/11 many Americans learned that what they do not know can hurt them: terrorism, whether in Jerusalem or New York, has its origins in humiliation. It persists when a disempowered people experiences chronic indignity. This path-finding book pinpoints rankism as the source of disrespect and of the indignation it breeds. Its message-that eradicating international terrorism requires rooting out international rankism-could not be more timely."
David Michaelis, Senior Producer, Israeli Broadcasting Authority; Co-Director, Internews Middle East; Co-Founder and Director of Current Affairs, Link TV
"From the West Bank to Watts, from Cali to Calais, second class folks carry a hard little knot of hurt, shame and fury. Bob has a clue and so too, best you, because with the right little tug, that knot will undo — then watch out."
John Harris, author of Fix Pain; CEO, Press 4 Health, LLC
"Think the man has singled you out? Get picked on at school? Get harassed trying to eat at a nice place? Think again, there ARE others!"
Dominic Dilorenzo, drummer
"For centuries people lived with slavery and thought nothing wrong with the practice. Years from now people will look back at our own times and wonder why we allowed rank to so distort and pervert our relationships. Bob Fuller's ideas about rankism expose the vestigial tribal instincts that still rule much everyday human behavior. Fuller's prophetic analysis sheds light on the pervasive prejudices that we all conspire to hide. This is a revolution waiting to happen, the true completion of democracy."
David Hoffman, President of Internews
"Robert Fuller refreshingly revives the case for serious mutual respect among all human beings, and indeed foresees the struggle for individual dignity, and an attack on its nemesis, rankism as the next great public movement in the United States. An insightful, thought-provoking, and novel treatment of an age-old subject."
Richard N. Cooper, Maurits C. Boas Professor of International Economics, Harvard University; Undersecretary of State for Economic Affairs in the Carter administration
"Somebodies & Nobodies is a shrewd and compelling look at the crucial but usually unperceived role of rank in all our lives. How easily we put down those we see as subordinate in title or wealth or origin; how silently we cringe at another's assumption of superiority… The abuse of rank [also] corrupts relations between nations, and between the governors and the governed in a democracy. Robert Fuller … makes us understand that equal dignity, whatever one's place in society or the world, is a key to peace and social order."
Anthony Lewis, Pulitzer Prize-winning former columnist for The New York Times
"Whether it's because of race, religion, gender, class, title, or age, abuses of rank have impeded our attempt to create social justice. Robert Fuller's exploration of how we use and abuse rank, both personally and politically, could help change that."
Betty Friedan, author of The Feminine Mystique and The Fountain of Age, founder of National Organization for Women
"The quest for recognition, especially by those who lack status, has long been seen as one of the driving forces of human history. Somebodies and Nobodies explains how recognition, or its absence, affects your life, and what we can all do to make sure that we treat each other with the dignity we each deserve."
Francis Fukuyama, Bernard Schwartz Professor of International Political Economy, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, and author of The End of History, Trust, and Our Posthuman Future
"Simply brilliant. A rare treat full of insight, inspiration and plain, sane Common Sense. A modern-day Thomas Paine, Robert Fuller argues persuasively that democracy will only realize its full potential when 'dignitarians' unite to overcome 'rankism,' the archetype of all 'isms' – imperialism, colonialism, anti-Semitism, racism, sexism. Buy multiple copies because, like me, you'll want to share this marvelous book with your friends."
Jeff Gates, author of The Ownership Solution and Democracy at Risk.
"This book is essential reading for those who wish to restore human dignity in the world. It demands an end to a rather subtle but deep-seated discrimination in our society, one based on status and rank. All presidents, politicians and CEOs should read this mind-boggling book. It will blow away their self-aggrandizing cobwebs."
Satish Kumar, Editor, Resurgence
"A wonderful call to action against the spillover of status. Wealth, job title and social positions are too often allowed to outweigh the respect to which each human being is entitled."
Roger Fisher, Director, Harvard Negotiation Project, author of Getting to Yes
"It's a book that parents should give their children, and a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of this country. Robert Fuller is sure to make the history books with Somebodies & Nobodies."
Donald Corbett, former policeman
"Occasionally, an author comes along who makes us see the world around us in a totally new way. Robert Fuller takes us on a journey through the world of ranks. He explores how rank has been used throughout history to divide, separate and control people. Equally important, he tells us what we can do to overcome this outmoded and destructive social mechanism and establish social relationships based on the restoration and extension of the notion of dignity. This book is an eye opener that we can all learn and benefit from in our daily lives."
Jeremy Rifkin, President of the Foundation on Economic Trends in Washington, D.C.; author of The Age of Access and The Hydrogen Economy
"I've been treated as a nobody for too long. I'm going to give a copy of this book to the principal of my school on the day I leave."
John F., 8th grade science teacher in Greater Washington, D.C.
"At the core of every humiliation and indignity is a mental error, not just a habit – a lacuna so vast and unremitting that it passes unnoticed. You don't fix such a thing. It is not something to be patched. Nothing can be done until it is noticed, until it is named. Naming creates distinctions, distinctions create the capacity to change. Naming rankism transforms everything."
Paul Hawken, author of Natural Capitalism.
"Somebodies & Nobodies will precipitate a national conversation about a pervasive but, until now, unnamed social dysfunction – rankism. Watch for a dignitarian movement against rankism that, like the civil rights and women's movements, will transform American life-in the boardroom, the schoolroom, the bedroom and, a lot sooner than we might think, at the ballot box".
Jerry Greenfield, co-founder of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream
"We know from statistics that U.S. society has become dramatically more unequal over the past generation. But Robert Fuller excavates the real-life stories behind the numbers, showing how rankism tramples on human dignity every day. Somebodies and Nobodies is a lucid and provocative manifesto for a more equal, and therefore more just, social order."
Robert Pollin, coauthor of The Living Wage: Building a Fair Society, Professor of Economics and Co-Director, Political Economy Research Institute, University of Massachusetts-Amherst
"Robert Fuller's insightful book has penetrated to the core of human dignity. He helps us understand why nearly all of us, even those with visible status and power, often feel belittled and diminished as human beings by the power of still higher status. But Somebodies & Nobodies is more than a diagnosis; it is a new way forward toward a society that takes seriously the deep conviction that we are truly all created equal."
Peter Schwartz, Chairman, Global Business Network; author of The Art of the Long View
"Bullies and abusers seek power, control, domination and subjugation, and the pursuit of superior rank is their means to this end. When 'rankism' is removed, deference no longer stifles dignity, fear gives way to mutual respect, and individuality and creativity flourish. Somebodies and Nobodies reveals the wisdom behind the saying that there's no such thing as an important person, only an important title."
Tim Field, author of Bully in Sight and www.bullyonline.org
"Somebodies and Nobodies deserves a place among American wisdom classics alongside Eric Hoffer's The True Believer. Robert Fuller approaches the fundamental problems of rank and human status-seeking from a new perspective, with new insights, and with wonderful originality. This book will promote liberating debate about social norms, organizational structures, and governance."
Michael Murphy, co-founder of Esalen, author of Golf in the Kingdom and The Future of the Body

You may consideration your car or truck merely so as to get from a spot to an additional. However for several, a car or truck functions as a transportable office or even residence should it be provided with every little thing needed during the day of course, if the situation is so ads. There are some points to be aware of while trying to keep your thoroughly clean nice and organized. Initial, unfilled the vehicle and trunk of the things you don't need. Obtain the garbage and remove any unneeded products. You'll be very impressed how spacious your car happens to be. Sort what you use into stacks. Make a single for maintenance materials, tunes, manuals, maps and also other products. That way, you'll know where to locate the thing you need rapidly.
Following, thoroughly clean the interior. Vacuum the flooring and car seats. Wipe the dash panel, entry doors and controls using a moist fabric. Shake out and clean the surface mats with soap and water. Don't forget about to wash the seats with an excellent furniture or material cleanser. Appear under the seats for soil you overlooked. To completely clean window, work with a free of moisture paper cloth and no-ammonia glass more clean ecotouch reviews. Once the glass is dried out, improve it with crumpled newspaper. Locate an unethical location to wash your car or undertake it with a gloomy time. Or even, the liquid may possibly evaporate easily by leaving a great deal of unpleasant areas. Be sure to make use of a shampoo or cleansing soap that's made for vehicles. Adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations for best effects.
Start with the rims. Use a good amount of soapy water along with a rub remembers to brush to get rid of deep-down dirt. For those vehicles outside, go for something soft likes organic ocean sponge, 100 % cotton chenille pad or sheepskin mitt. These things have a lot of fine filaments that successfully eliminate dirt and grime. For reassurance on your way, purchase an extended guarantee. These recommendations ought to protect most regular windowpane cleaning circumstances. As to anything at all besides soil that is certainly around the widows you might need to use other chemicals or resources to obtain individuals spots or stains away. In that case it could be the time to consult an expert.
For those who have quite high Microsoft windows or big house windows it can be smart to abandon that towards the experts too. I understand of a single gentleman who believed to his partner, I'm going to get the ladder out and clear the house windows. Off of he moved and wound up falling the ladder. His place of work would not recompense him for time away as he was hurt away from the place of work. They were in the unfortunate express. So please abandon the better tough situations towards the pros.
