I have so many ideas for visual companions for this series. Sketches, graphics, puppets… Okay, maybe I'll wait on the puppets. The world might not be ready for my spider-headed zombie puppet. Yet.
I'm having so much fun with Pack. The entire Blades of Janus series is like a giant sandbox for me. That's why I kept it as an Indie series. I even have an idea for an incredibly obscure inside-joke T-shirt. In the meantime, I think I'm getting the hang of these graphics. More fun is in store 🙂 Stay tuned!

Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital
Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1880, Saint Joseph's facility is Atlanta's oldest hospital. Today, the 410-bed, acute-care facility is recognized as one of the top specialty-referral hospitals in the Southeast. Saint Joseph's Hospital is a leader among Georgia health-care providers, respected for its expertise, innovation in health-care delivery and quality of care. While discussions of health frequently focus on competition and managed costs, Saint Joseph's has not lost sight of the people behind the numbers or its mission to serve those most in need.
Saint Joseph's Mercy Care Services provides primary health care, education and social services to thousands of Atlanta's underserved population each year through two free-standing healthcare clinics (Mercy Clinic Downtown on Decatur Street and Mercy Clinic North located in the Northeast Shopping Plaza on Buford Highway), as well as a mobile clinic and five vans at nearly 20 sites throughout metro Atlanta.
Founded in 1880 by the Sisters of Mercy, a religious order originally founded in Dublin, Ireland by Catherine McAuley to "...serve the poor, sick and uneducated", Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital continues to be sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy to this day. It was the first medical facility established in Atlanta, with a mission to "further the healing ministry of the Church and the Sisters of Mercy". As such, the Mission of Saint Joseph's Hospital is to improve the well-being of the communities served by promoting health and providing health-related services.
The values of the Sisters of Mercy permeate these efforts, which includes serving with compassion and clinical excellence, as well as recognizing the intrinsic dignity and value of all persons, both those served and those who serve. To "relieve misery and address its causes", as well as to "give tangible expression to Christ's merciful love toward all who suffer or are in need", are values at the heart of the culture operationalized at Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital.

The Symbol DS3578 Series of rugged, cordless, omni-directional 1-D/2-D imager scanners bring comprehensive, high-performance data capture to harsh industrial environments. Engineered with breakthrough digital imaging technology, this scanner family delivers extremely fast and accurate data capture of 1-D/2-D barcodes, direct part marks (DPM) and images, and supports Item Unique Identification (IUID). Integrated Bluetooth provides cordless freedom, improving productivity.
Improve business efficiency in your harshest industrial environments with the DS3578 Series. Breakthrough digital imaging technology allows workers to capture virtually any bar code, with extreme speed and accuracy. Three models can meet any bar code capture requirement you have — from 1-D and 2-D bar codes and Direct Part Marks (DPM) to Unique Identification (IUID)* support.
With integrated Bluetooth®, there is no cord between the scanner and the host, so your employees can move freely throughout your work environment. Productivity, efficiency and even worker safety is improved. Plus, downtime from cable breakdowns — a common point of failure in handheld devices used in industrial environments — is eliminated.
The DS3578 Series is designed specifically for fast-paced production environments. Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors accurately capture and process bar codes much faster than the typical digital scanner. The powerful 624 MHz microprocessor decodes 1-D and 2-D bar codes within milliseconds, regardless of size or density. The patent pending fast-pulse illumination and fast sensor shutter speed deliver outstanding motion tolerance, eliminating the need for users to pause between scans. Omni-directional scanning functionality allows operators to quickly capture bar codes from any angle, so users never need to take the time to align bar codes with laser lines. Plus, the DS3578 Series offers the widest working range of any scanner in its class.
As innovative as it is rugged, the DS3578 Series delivers the ergonomic and operational features required in scan-intensive industrial applications in the harshest environments. The device is built to handle the inevitable bumps and drops — even on concrete. An IP65-rated seal makes it impervious to dust and water. The exit window is scratch-resistant and recessed for the highest level of durability. These features deliver a low total cost of ownership, minimizing employee and device downtime as well as equipment repair and replacement costs.
In addition, noisy machinery and poor lighting can make it difficult for operators to see or hear scanner feedback to ensure proper completion of scans. DS3578 Series addresses this challenge with bright LEDs, adjustable beeper volume and a vibrating pager motor placed in the handle. Decode feedback is clearly visible and audible, protecting productivity and task accuracy.
Achieving government grade security with the DS3578 Series is easy. All models are FIPS 140-2 compliant, right out of the box. Just scan the included Enable FIPS Encryption bar code to activate FIPS security.
The flexible DS3578-SR meets the needs of a wide variety of applications and environments, offering 1-D and 2-D bar code scanning, as well as support for a wide variety of interfaces for easy integration with new and legacy systems. The DS3578-SR streamlines inventory management in the most scan intensive, fast-paced environments — from the largest warehouse to the retail backroom — where a quick scan enables the automatic and accurate capture of the information required to increase productivity and reduce errors. At the receiving dock, a scan of the bar code on the boxes, pallets or bill of lading can automatically reconcile incoming shipments for faster processing of incoming goods. In put-away and picking, a quick scan can determine where product should be stored and also verify that product was placed on the right shelf. False out-of-stocks due to misplaced materials are eliminated — along with lost sales. In shipping, a quick scan verifies that the right shipment is addressed to the right person, preventing costly mis-ships.
The DS3578-HD offers the same capabilities as the DS3578-SR, but adds optimization for the very tiny and dense 1-D and 2-D bar codes frequently found in warehousing, transportation and logistics, and manufacturing environments. For manufacturers, the DS3578-HD allows scanning of bar codes on the smallest parts to verify that the right part is used at the right time. Product quality improves, increasing customer satisfaction and retention. Real-time inventory visibility allows manufacturers to lower standard stocking levels, reducing warehouse space requirements and increasing inventory turns — and profitability. And in the event you are notified of a defective part, a quick scan can instantly reveal the location of the defective product, allowing rapid and targeted recalls that protect brand image, customer perception and recall costs. And companies involved in warehousing, shipping and delivery of little items can easily read the small, dense 2-D bar codes that may be utilized on smaller packages.
This powerful scanner combines our highly advanced EZ-DPM software with the functionality of the DS3578- SR, the focusing capability of the DS3578-HD, plus integrated IUID parsing capability. Government agencies and industrial manufacturers — including automotive, aerospace and medical — can capture all 1-D and 2-D bar codes as well as every type of Direct Part Mark (DPM). EZ-DPM software allows easy reading of even the most challenging marks, including very low contrast marks on black plastic, 'noisy' marks on cast surfaces and marks on corroded steel and cast iron pipe that have been in the field for years. Comprehensive IUID support allows you to capture and process Unique Item Identifiers (UIIs) — the scanner can validate, read, separate and transmit the right information to your application. And since construct tables are field upgradable, your IUID applications are future proof.
The DS3578 not only helps you save time, it helps you save money. Since this one device can capture any bar code, you no longer need to purchase, manage and maintain multiple devices to accommodate different bar code symbologies. You also no longer need a cradle for every device —one FIPS validated cradle supports up to seven FIPS validated scanners. In addition, two Zebra-unique tools substantially reduce management time and cost. 123Scan2 is a powerful PC-based software tool that enables rapid and easy scanner set-up and customization. And Remote Scanner Management (RSM) enables remote, network based device management from a central location.
Service from the Start Advance Exchange Support provides next-business-day replacement of devices that require repair. Built-in Comprehensive Coverage protects your scanners from the unexpected, significantly reducing unforeseen repair expenses and delivering service peace of mind.

Is playing poker easy or hard? As a matter of fact, it's both. It's easy to learn how to play. You can do that in 15-20 minutes with any poker teacher, or by just reading about it in a poker book. But that won't make you a winner. It takes real skill – expertise – to go home with more money in your pocket than you had when you arrived at the casino. There are numerous skills involved. That makes the game rather complex – hard.
Whether you aspire to be a successful doctor, lawyer, teacher, businessman (or woman) or a professional athlete, skills are essential. It takes considerable effort – it's not easy; it's hard – to become successful.
Most Important – Starting Hand Selection: You have been dealt two hole cards. Should you make the investment to see the flop? Is this a viable starting hand? Lots to consider: Are your two cards high enough in value? Are they paired, connectors and/or suited?
Other factors to take into account: your betting position – early, middle or late; whether an opponent has raised before you? If so, what kind of player is he/she – tight, loose, aggressive, passive, deceptive? How many are staying in the pot? Starting hand selection can be hard, but it is so important.
Raising: There are many reasons for raising. The skilled player knows these and can use them to his advantage. The most common: Raise to build the pot (betting for value); raise to force out opponents – to thin the field and protect a vulnerable hand; raise to gain position by forcing out players behind you; raise to prepare for making a bluff bet on the next round of betting; raise to get a better idea of your opponents' hand strengths based on their response.
Using Outs to Gain an Edge; Basic Poker Math: Post-flop, most hands are drawing hands; they must improve to win the pot. It takes little skill to estimate your outs – how many unseen cards will make your hand. Somewhat more skill is needed to use the 4-2 Rule to convert this number to your card odds – the odds against making your hand. Compare this to the pot odds – the approximate number of chips in the pot vs. your cost to stay to see the next card. Then, if the pot odds are higher than the card odds, you have a positive expectation – a winner in the long run.
Along the way, it's wise to get a read on your opponents' hands. What are their most likely hands – their ranges? Once you acquire that skill, it also takes even more skill to decide how to play your hand – whether to bet out, call an opponent's bet, raise, or fold?
Another skill is playing pocket pairs. That's a topic George will discuss in one of his columns.

Whitecaps beat Great Lakes Loons in 10 innings in Sunday night game
Published 4:20 am EDT, Monday, July 2, 2012
The West Michigan Whitecaps rallied and beat the Great Lakes Loons 8-5 in 10 innings on Sunday in the first Sunday night game in Loons' history in front of 3,129 fans at Dow Diamond.
Angelo Songco hit a 440-foot three-run homer in the bottom of the first inning for the Loons, who led 4-1 after four innings before the Whitecaps eventually came to tie the game 5-5 in the seventh.
West Michigan scored three times in the 10th on four consecutive singles and an error by Loons' centerfielder James Baldwin. Matt Shelton (1-3) took the loss, allowing three runs, two earned, in one inning.
Loons' starter Gustavo Gomez had a season-high seven strikeouts in five innings, allowing three runs on a solo homer by Edgar Corcino and a two-run homer by Luis Castillo. Lance Durham also hit a solo homer for West Michigan off reliever Juan Rodriguez in the sixth.
The Loons (4-6) and Whitecaps (6-4) play the second game of their three-game series tonight at 7:05 p.m. It's a Bark in the Park Night, where fans can bring their dogs to the game.

The exception to this is our Mini Honey Jars, which also are sold by the dozen ($30) and are easy to ship. The Mini Honey Jars can be purchased with regular honey or with our Tennessee Snow Whipped Honey in them, which is lovely at a winter wedding.
You are welcome to pick any of these favors up at our Eagleville farm shop, or we could arrange a meet-up or delivery (fee may apply).
You may reach out to us to place an order by emailing info@trubeehoney.com or you can order on this page and we'll reach out to you about a pickup date. Since these jars are unusual, we need at least two weeks to fulfill an order.
*Styling tip: if adding sprigs of flowers to the jars, it helps to first put a small, clear hair tie/rubber band on the neck of the jar.

Georgia veteran unable to work due to emotional trauma, addiction
On behalf of Law Office of Ellene Welsh | Jun 3, 2011 | Social Security Disability, social security disability 1
Defending our country can be an emotionally challenging experience. While soldiers rightfully feel proud of their accomplishments, events on the battlefield can sometimes leave them traumatized for life, at times resulting in addictions or serious mental conditions. When they return, a lack of experience may also limit a veteran's opportunities in the job market. These challenges and unfortunate repercussions of military service can leave the soldiers unable to work. A Georgia veteran, a former B-52 crew chief in Vietnam, is now fighting hard to rebuild his life.
He had been stationed at Anderson air base during the Vietnam War, doing his best to serve the country. There were times when he was near death, and his flight crew once counted more than 100 bullet holes in their plane. However, upon his return to the United States, such traumatic experiences were just the beginning of his challenges. Drug and alcohol addiction, depression over his mother's death, and a degenerative disease led him to financial difficulty. Unable to support himself, the veteran is now homeless.
However, the Old Savannah City Mission in Georgia has been helping him get back on track. It provides a place for homeless people to stay, and for those inclined, it also offers a safe environment to study and brush up on job skills. The Vietnam veteran says he has not received any disability benefits from the government.
Veterans often come home facing addiction, emotional trauma and other challenges. When these problems or others render them unable to work, Social Security disability benefits may be an option. Experienced Georgia attorneys understand how important disability benefits can be for someone who cannot work. Strong cases can be built to obtain benefits or appeal a denied claim.

AAP Claims Kejriwal's Door Still Closed At Amit Shah's Behest, Delhi Police Denies Claim
The AAP on Wednesday alleged Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's movement is still "restricted" and the main gate of his residence remains closed at the behest of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, a claim denied by the city police.
Police sources said the Chief Minister left his residence around 11 am to attend a programme.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had on Tuesday alleged the Delhi Police put Kejriwal under house arrest after he met farmers protesting against the Centre's agriculture reform laws at the city's Singhu border.
However, a senior Delhi Police officer dismissed the claim as "totally baseless".
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, AAP spokesperson Raghav Chadha said there is an atmosphere of "undeclared emergency" around the Chief Minister's residence.
"I am telling you with full responsibility that the movement of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is still restricted at the behest of the (Union) Home Minister. The main gate of Chief Minister"s residence is still closed," Chadha said.
"In a way, there is an atmosphere of undeclared emergency. All this, just because we did not allow the stadiums to be converted into prisons for farmers," he said.
A senior police officer said there is no restriction on any kind of movement of the chief minister.
"The police deployment outside the Chief Minister's residence is part of security protocol," he said.
According to police sources, Kejriwal left his residence around 11 am to attend a programme.
On Tuesday, Kejriwal came out of his residence after hours of drama outside.
Addressing party workers, he said the Centre tried its best to ensure that he did not step out.
He said if he was not stopped, he would have gone and supported farmers in their Bharat Bandh movement.
Kejriwal claimed the Centre was "very angry" as his government did not allow Delhi stadiums to be used as prisons for farmers.
"We faced a lot of pressure to allow the use of stadiums as temporary prisons, but we did not give permission and I feel this helped the movement. But since then the Centre has been very angry," the Chief Minister said.
Thousands of farmers, mostly from Punjab and Haryana, are protesting at various border points of Delhi against the new farm laws.
The Centre's offer to amend the contentious laws has failed to cut ice with the protesting farmers who have stuck to their demand for a repeal of the legislations.

This is home ed life, this is what I've looked forward to since we first made the decision around 9 years ago when I was pregnant for the first time. A long history of home ed from my older sister, and a fabulous example of how great it can be in my now grown nephews, it is them that keeps me going on days where I wobble. All these great chances my girls get to follow their own interests at such a young age are all brought about by the work I do, and of course Mr I2K's gardening and graphics work.
I'm looking forward to how much further we're going this year with all our adventures, and it is all down to every single person who supports our businesses, so if you're here reading this, even for that little support, Thank You.

Greenvale Hotel limits activities after St Patrick's Day crush tragedy
Elderly man escapes injury in Cookstown arson attack
Fire at Sion Mills 'started deliberately'
The Greenvale hotel has agreed to temporarily restrict its events to weddings and private functions, a council committee has heard.
An elderly man has escaped injury after two wheelie bins were placed at the front door of a flat in Cookstown and set alight.

Three men and one woman have been released on police bail pending further enquiries into how a woman came to be injured in a house in Coalisland, Co Tyrone.
The men - aged 24, 25 and 34 – and the 29-year-old woman were arrested on Monday following the incident in the Mourne Crescent area.
The injured woman, who is in her 20s, remains in hospital.
Detectives are continuing to investigate the surrounding circumstances and are appealing for anyone who witnessed anything, or who knows anything, to contact them.
Omagh victim's dad says families 'relieved' by latest ruling
Michael Gallagher, whose son Aiden was killed in the 1998 Omagh bomb, has described the ruling of the European Court against two men found liable over the atrocity as "vindication" for the families.

A complaint by Michael McKevitt and Liam Campbell, who were previously ordered to pay £1.6m in damages to bereaved relatives, has been dismissed.
They had tried to claim that their trial was unfair – an allegation refuted by the European Court.
"We feel like we have been under siege since the first judgment, with appeal after appeal," Mr Gallagher said, following Thursday's verdict.
"We are relieved it is now over."
The European Court made clear that its decision was final and Mr Gallagher has now said the authorities must held bereaved families recover the money owed to them.
Enormous expense has been paid by taxpayers to make sure these people got the best of British and European justice.
The British and Irish Governments must now make sure the interests of the victims comes first.
– Michael Gallagher
Mr Gallagher added: "It would be a very hollow judgment if it was only words."
"These people value money and it's where it can hurt them and both governments must work together to make sure the families receive the money that was awarded to them."
Mr Gallagher also made it clear that the bereaved relatives would continue to campaign for a full cross-border inquiry into the Omagh bombing, amid persistent claims the outrage could have been prevented.
European Court rules against men found liable over Omagh bomb

While there has never been a criminal prosecution over the atrocity, Michael McKevitt and Liam Campbell were among the defendants in a civil case brought by families of the victims.
The action was successful, and they were ordered to pay substantial damages.
The pair then complained to the European Court that the trial had been unfair.
They claimed that the first instance court should have applied a criminal rather than civil standard of proof, due to the severity of the allegations against them.
They further claimed that the admission of the evidence of an FBI agent who had not been made available in court for questioning was unfair.
However, the European Court has now dismissed the complaints.
It found that a criminal standard of proof was not necessary because the proceedings had been for a civil claim for damages and there was no criminal charge.
It also found the judge had fully considered the need for appropriate safeguards regarding the absent FBI agent; that the defendants had had an adequate opportunity to challenge the agent's evidence with their own; and that the judge had had due regard to the appropriate considerations when deciding what weight he could attach to the evidence of an absent witness.
The Omagh bomb detonated in the centre of the Co Tyrone town on the afternoon of 15 August 1998, killing 29 people - including a woman pregnant with twins.
McKevitt is currently jailed in Portlaoise, while Campbell is in HMP Maghaberry.
The Fire Service believe a fire started at the derelict Herdman's Mill at Sion Mills was started deliberately.

NI's Kris Meeke sets record with WRC Rally Finland win
Northern Ireland's Kris Meeke has become the first British winner of Rally Finland as the Citroen driver set a new average speed record for the event.
Meeke's 29.1 seconds victory over Finland's Jari-Matti Latvala ended the latter's chances of a third consecutive success on home ground and established a new speed record.
The 37-year-old Dungannon man's average speed of 126.60kph bettered Latvala's record set on the event a year ago by 1.2kph.
Meeke led almost the whole of the four-day race over the gravel roads in Finland in his Citroen DS 3.
His Abu Dhabi Total team-mate Irishman Craig Breen also had a maiden podium finish in third, claiming his first stage win on Sunday morning to finish one minute 41.3secs adrift of the winner.
Meeke has now climbed to ninth in the World Rally Championship standings and lies 92 points behind leader Sebastien Ogier.
NI's Meeke still out in front at WRC's Rally Finland
Northern Ireland's Kris Meeke is on course to secure his second World Rally Championship round after extending his lead at the end of day three at Rally Finland.

#WRC #RallyFinland SS20 An exceptional day.. 41sec lead. We have a job to do tomorrow. Will try and bring it home https://t.co/YXA9BW6H2v
The 37-year-old Dungannon man headed into Saturday with an 18.1 second advantage over Jari-Matti Latvala, but the Finnish driver struggled to keep up with the dominant Citroen DS3.
Meeke won four of the seven stages on Saturday, including the opening Ouninpohja – regarded as the sport's biggest test - and a second on its 'little brother' Paijala at stage 14.
The Citroen driver was within one second of the leader of any stage he did not win, putting him in a great position to win on his first race back since victory at the Rally of Portugal in May.
Meeke finished with a time of two hours and 22 seconds - 41 seconds ahead of Latvala - while Irishman Craig Breen was a further one minute and two seconds behind the Finn.
Now we really have to do a job. We have to manage our position and that's the difficult part.
We did it when we won in Portugal earlier this year, and in Argentina last year, and we'll use that experience on this one.

Concerns for boy, 14, missing for four days


Have you been responding to job board postings and submitting your resume with no results? A recent CareerXroads survey shows that only 15 percent of positions were filled through job boards. Most jobs are found through connections that people have inside the company they are targeting or through their networking efforts.
Let me share with you a true success story that came about as a result of creativity and a connection.
Sam worked for Company A for over 20 years until the division he worked for was sold to Company B. He worked for them for over 4 years until the company started offering employee buyouts. Sam is 54 years old and needs to work a few more years before he can retire. His position with Company B was that of a software development project manager and he was the contact for the clients that Company B was developing software for. He decided to take a chance and took the buyout. He was certain that with his skills and experience he would find another position since software development project managers are in high demand in almost every industry.
With the buyout money, he had some time to job hunt.
Sam responded to dozens of job board postings by submitting his resume and a tailored cover letter. He never received a response from any of the companies he applied to. After weeks of searching with no success, Sam did what few do. He had met the vice president of Company C, one of Company B's customers and one he had done some work for. Sam designed a position doing for Company C what he did for them when he was with Company B. Instead of paying Company B for project manager services, they could have him do it. He requested a meeting with the VP and presented his proposal with all the advantages and savings associated with his idea. Sam illustrated his ROI to the VP. As a result, he was hired.
Sometimes you have to see a need/problem in the company you have targeted then create the job that solves that problem. Use LinkedIn or your contacts to find the decision makers in the company you've targeted and go for it!

Austerity, trade unions
FirstEnergy Locks Out Utility Workers in PA
November 30, 2013 carldavidson	Leave a comment
Utility Workers in Altoona, PA
From IndustriALL
FirstEnergy Corp. – one of the largest electric power corporations in the United States – locked out 150 members of the Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) in the early morning hours of November 25, three days before the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.
IndustriALL Global Union and Public Services International (PSI) are responding to this employer aggression against joint affiliate UWUA. Sign the IndustriALL-PSI-LabourStart campaign here and write your protest message to FirstEnergy CEO Tony Alexander.
(http://www.labourstartcampaigns.net/show_campaign.cgi?c=2070)
Management locked out utility workers at its Penelec subsidiary in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania in order to extract huge concessions in workers' retirement and healthcare benefits and working conditions, as well as to impose cutbacks in service standards for consumers.
FirstEnergy is demanding similar concessions from over 1,100 additional UWUA members at three other utility companies owned by the corporate giant throughout the U.S. states of Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia.
According to the UWUA, the lockout of Penelec workers is part of a larger scheme by top FirstEnergy executives to roll back social benefits and working conditions for employees throughout the company, even as the corporation seeks to cut back on consumer services. The locked out UWUA members are therefore on the frontlines of the union's efforts to end the ongoing corporate assault against living standards for U.S. utility workers.
The UWUA has appealed for trade unions to condemn FirstEnergy's anti-worker conduct by protesting directly to FirstEnergy CEO Tony Alexander and Senior Vice President Lynn Cavalier.
Please demand that these FirstEnergy executives immediately end the lockout of utility workers in Pennsylvania, and for the company to return to the bargaining table to negotiate in good faith for fair agreements for union workers at all FirstEnergy locations.

Pope Francis rips capitalism and trickle-down economics to shreds in new policy statement
By Travis Gettys
Tuesday, November 26, 2013 11:48 EST
Topics: Pope Francis
In case there was any doubt left, Pope Francis made it clear that he shares little in common with U.S. conservatives.
The pontiff released his Evangelii Gadium, or Joy of the Gospel, attacking capitalism as a form of tyranny and calling on church and political leaders to address the needs of the poor.
"As long as the problems of the poor are not radically resolved by rejecting the absolute autonomy of markets and financial speculation and by attacking the structural causes of inequality, no solution will be found for the world's problems or, for that matter, to any problems," the pope said in the 224-page document that essentially serves as his official platform.
Pope Francis said that inequality was the root of social ills, and prayed for world leaders with more empathy and sense of social justice.
"I beg the Lord to grant us more politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor!" Pope Francis wrote. "It is vital that government leaders and financial leaders take heed and broaden their horizons, working to ensure that all citizens have dignified work, education and healthcare."
The pope has already drawn the ire of some conservative Catholics, particularly in the U.S., for his open-minded comments on social issues such as homosexuality, abortion and contraception, and he's also previously criticized capitalism for promoting greed.
But his latest statements put those concerns into sharper focus – and puts him in sharp contrast to American conservative leaders who prize the unfettered free market and promote the Randian theory of objectivism, or rational self-interest.
"I am interested only in helping those who are in thrall to an individualistic, indifferent and self-centered mentality to be freed from those unworthy chains and to attain a way of living and thinking which is more humane, noble and fruitful, and which will bring dignity to their presence on this earth," the pope wrote.
He also launched a broadside against former President Ronald Reagan's signature economic theory, which continues to serve as conservative Republican dogma.

Obama's DreamWorks Economy and the Challenge for Democrats
November 27, 2013 randyshannon	Leave a comment
"Americans think the system is rigged. They are ready to throw the bums out. They want to know who will be the change. Who understands how hard it is out there for working families, for the young trying to get started, for older workers headed into retirement without a pension or savings. Who is prepared to take on the special interests, the big banks and the corporate tax dodgers? And who stands in the way?"
"If Democrats are to have any shot in 2014, they have no choice but to be the change. They have to be willing to indict an economy that does not work for working people. They have to call out the special interests and the inside deals. They should be lining up fights – to raise the minimum wage, to close tax havens and use the money to rebuild the country and put people to work, to break up the big banks and censure the Justice Department and regulatory agencies that have failed to hold bankers accountable for the epidemic of frauds and fixes that they used to fleece their customers. They've got to move on slamming shut the revolving door that undermines any hope of independent government. And they should make it clear in fight after fight that Republicans are standing in the way."
President Obama's DreamWorks Economy and the Challenge for Democrats
Robert Borosage
President Obama traveled to Hollywood's DreamWorks studio to address the economy yesterday. The speech itself was economical, recycling many of his favorite tropes. But it revealed the perils Democrats face if they let the president define their agenda and argument over the next months.
Contrary to the current media craze, health care reform isn't the problem. Public approval of government, the president, and Democrats has plummeted in the wake of the botched Obamacare launch. But as the system gets fixed and more and more Americans get access to affordable health care, the foul tempers will calm; the political hemorrhaging will stop. Supporters may still bear some scars in the 2014 elections but the wounds will have largely healed.
No, the problem is that the president wants to sell this economy. By next year's elections, he'll be in his sixth year and he wants Americans to know that "America has largely fought our way back. We've made the tough choices not just to help the economy recovery, but to rebuild it on a new foundation."
Only Americans aren't buying: 68% think we are on the wrong track.

John F. Kennedy's Vision of Peace
By Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Rolling Stone
On the 50th anniversary of JFK's death, his nephew recalls the fallen president's attempts to halt the war machine.
n November 22nd, 1963, my uncle, president John F. Kennedy, went to Dallas intending to condemn as "nonsense" the right-wing notion that "peace is a sign of weakness." He meant to argue that the best way to demonstrate American strength was not by using destructive weapons and threats but by being a nation that "practices what it preaches about equal rights and social justice," striving toward peace instead of "aggressive ambitions." Despite the Cold War rhetoric of his campaign, JFK's greatest ambition as president was to break the militaristic ideology that has dominated our country since World War II. He told his close friend Ben Bradlee that he wanted the epitaph "He kept the peace," and said to another friend, William Walton, "I am almost a 'peace at any price' president." Hugh Sidey, a journalist and friend, wrote that the governing aspect of JFK's leadership was "a total revulsion" of war. Nevertheless, as James W. Douglass argues in his book JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters, JFK's presidency would be a continuous struggle with his own military and intelligence agencies, which engaged in incessant schemes to trap him into escalating the Cold War into a hot one. His first major confrontation with the Pentagon, the Bay of Pigs catastrophe, came only three months into his presidency and would set the course for the next 1,000 days.
JFK's predecessor, Dwight D. Eisenhower, had finalized support on March 17th, 1960, for a Cuban invasion by anti-Castro insurgents, but the wily general left its execution to the incoming Kennedy team. From the start, JFK recoiled at the caper's stench, as CIA Director Allen Dulles has acknowledged, demanding assurances from CIA and Pentagon brass that there was no chance of failure and that there would be no need for U.S. military involvement. Dulles and the generals knowingly lied and gave him those guarantees.
When the invasion failed, JFK refused to order airstrikes against Castro. Realizing he had been drawn into a trap, he told his top aides, David Powers and Kenneth O'Donnell, "They were sure I'd give in to them and send the go-ahead order to the [U.S. Navy aircraft carrier] Essex. They couldn't believe that a new president like me wouldn't panic and try to save his own face. Well, they had me figured all wrong." JFK was realizing that the CIA posed a monumental threat to American democracy. As the brigade faltered, he told Arthur Schlesinger that he wanted to "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds."
The next confrontation with the defense and intelligence establishments had already begun as JFK resisted pressure from Eisenhower, the Joint Chiefs and the CIA to prop up the CIA's puppet government in Laos against the communist Pathet Lao guerrillas. The military wanted 140,000 ground troops, with some officials advocating for nuclear weapons. "If it hadn't been for Cuba," JFK told Schlesinger, "we might be about to intervene in Laos. I might have taken this advice seriously." JFK instead signed a neutrality agreement the following year and was joined by 13 nations, including the Soviet Union.

Important Message from Kentucky
Herald-Leader Editorial
Message from Martin County: What's good for Eastern Kentucky good for U.S.A.
Eastern Kentucky needs a nation that's committed to economic justice. What we have is identical in Martin County and the U.S.: Great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few while the middle class is hollowed out and those at the bottom watch their opportunities dwindle along with their hope.
Martin County home
It's always been easy to think of Eastern Kentucky as separate and apart from America's mainstream.
It was true at the turn of the 20th century when John Fox Jr. wrote wildly popular novels about guileless mountaineers.
It was true in 1963 when Harry Caudill wrote of the region's brutal exploitation in Night Comes to the Cumberlands, the book that launched a War on Poverty.
And it's true today when we read of poverty's stubborn persistence 50 years after Night in Herald-Leader reporter John Cheves' powerful reporting from Martin County.
Martiki Mine in Martin County. EPA has loosened restrictions on selenium pollution from mountaintop removal mining, resulting in widespread destruction of fish.
The temptation is to think of this troubled, yet compelling, place as aberrant and unique — The Other America, as Michael Harrington said in the title of his famous 1962 book about poverty in America.
But the notion of Appalachian exceptionalism has never been reality and is more wrong today than ever.
Far from being an outlier, the region, if anything, is a microcosm of this country and the challenges facing all of America.
Any plan for igniting Eastern Kentucky's moribund economy will have to be built on principles that would work anywhere: Local ownership; support for entrepreneurs; a healthy, educated workforce; healthy land, clean water, good food; towns and parks where people want to visit, live and invest; accountable, honest government; clean energy, and, as Lexington Mayor Jim Gray often says, an authenticity of place.
By the same token, Eastern Kentucky can never pull itself up in a country where the deck is stacked overwhelmingly in favor of the rich and powerful, where Congress won't raise the minimum wage to make work a rational alternative to disability, or tax the wealthy to support early childhood programs, first-generation college students or the kind of investment in research and infrastructure that built U.S. prosperity and the middle class.
250 million gallons of coal sludge released into Big Sandy Creek block access to a home in Martin County, KY.
Another common thread will sound like fighting words in coal's kingdom. The 21st century's biggest challenge will be making the transition away from fossil fuels to avert a climate catastrophe without strangling economic opportunity.
Since the 1970s, any prosperity in Martin County, limited though it has been, came from coal. The price has been poisoned water, land and, according to a growing body of science, sickened people.
Even without the climate crisis, though, Eastern Kentucky coal has become noncompetitive in the marketplace. Hardly anyone relishes change, but when change is inevitable, the smart look for opportunities.
Corruption, as endemic to Eastern Kentucky as ginseng and gospel hymns, is far from unique to the region. Somehow, though, our despair grows the closer the corruption.
An impoverished place like Martin County steers college scholarships to the children of public school administrators instead of poor kids and seems just plain hopeless. Meanwhile, we tolerate a U.S. tax code that's a collection of favors for the special interests that finance political candidates.
Soon after President Lyndon B. Johnson declared the "War on Poverty" in 1964, he visited Martin County. He was photographed with the Fletcher family on their front porch.
The fact that the mountains have no corner on corruption does not excuse the plague of grand and petty thievery, cronyism and nepotism.
Eastern Kentucky must clean up its image by eradicating corruption if it is to attract outside private investment or keep its bright young people. Honest competitors will go elsewhere to find a game that's not fixed.
And, just think, if Eastern Kentucky leads, maybe Congress will take a hint and clean up the tax code.

Social Security: "It's Values, Not Math"
Senator Elizabeth Warren
Elizabeth Warren on Social Security: "It's Values, Not Math"
[Mr./Madame] President, I rise today to talk about the retirement crisis in this country – a crisis that has received far too little attention, and far too little response, from Washington.I spent most of my career studying the economic pressures on middle class families – families who worked hard, who played by the rules, but who still found themselves hanging on by their fingernails. Starting in the 1970s, even as workers became more productive, their wages flattened out, while core expenses, things like housing and health care and sending a kid to college, just kept going up.
Working families didn't ask for a bailout. They rolled up their sleeves and sent both parents into the workforce. But that meant higher childcare costs, a second car, and higher taxes. So they tightened their belts more, cutting spending wherever they could. Adjusted for inflation, families today spend less than they did a generation ago on food, clothing, furniture, appliances, and other flexible purchases. When that still wasn't enough to cover rising costs, they took on debt – credit card debt, college debt, debt just to pay for the necessities. As families became increasingly desperate, unscrupulous financial institutions were all too happy to chain them to financial products that got them into even more trouble — products where fine print and legalese covered up the true costs of credit.
These trends are not new, and there have been warning signs for years about what is happening to our middle class. One major consequence of these increasing pressures on working people – a consequence that receives far too little attention – is that the dream of a secure retirement is slowly slipping away.

Rep. Rothfus Will Cut Food Stamps
November 18, 2013 randyshannon	1 Comment
The Insanity of Our Food Policy
The New York Times- Opinionator
FARM subsidies were much more sensible when they began eight decades ago, in 1933, at a time when more than 40 percent of Americans lived in rural areas. Farm incomes had fallen by about a half in the first three years of the Great Depression. In that context, the subsidies were an anti-poverty program. Now, though, the farm subsidies serve a quite different purpose.
The proposed House Republicans' farm bill takes real money, money that is necessary for bare survival, from the poorest Americans, and gives it to a small group of the undeserving rich, in return for their campaign contributions and political support.
American food policy has long been rife with head-scratching illogic. We spend billions every year on farm subsidies, many of which help wealthy commercial operations to plant more crops than we need. The glut depresses world crop prices, harming farmers in developing countries. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live tenuously close to hunger, which is barely kept at bay by a food stamp program that gives most beneficiaries just a little more than $4 a day.
So it's almost too absurd to believe that House Republicans are asking for a farm bill that would make all of these problems worse. For the putative purpose of balancing the country's books, the measures that the House Republican caucus is pushing for in negotiations with the Senate, as Congress attempts to pass a long-stalled extension of the farm bill, would cut back the meager aid to our country's most vulnerable and use the proceeds to continue fattening up a small number of wealthy American farmers.
The House has proposed cutting food stamp benefits by $40 billion over 10 years — that's on top of $5 billion in cuts that already came into effect this month with the expiration of increases to the food stamp program that were included in the 2009 stimulus law. Meanwhile, House Republicans appear satisfied to allow farm subsidies, which totaled some $14.9 billion last year, to continue apace. Republican proposals would shift government assistance from direct payments — paid at a set rate to farmers every year to encourage them to keep growing particular crops, regardless of market fluctuations — to crop insurance premium subsidies. But this is unlikely to be any cheaper. Worse, unlike direct payments, the insurance premium subsidies carry no income limit for the farmers who would receive this form of largess.
The proposal is a perfect example of how growing inequality has been fed by what economists call rent-seeking. As small numbers of Americans have grown extremely wealthy, their political power has also ballooned to a disproportionate size. Small, powerful interests — in this case, wealthy commercial farmers — help create market-skewing public policies that benefit only themselves, appropriating a larger slice of the nation's economic pie. Their larger slice means everyone else gets a smaller one — the pie doesn't get any bigger — though the rent-seekers are usually adept at taking little enough from individual Americans that they are hardly aware of the loss. While the money that they've picked from each individual American's pocket is small, the aggregate is huge for the rent-seeker. And this in turn deepens inequality.

Winter has certainly started to bite in South Tyneside after temperatures reached their lowest level of the season so far today.
Temperatures plummeted as low as -6°C in South Shields overnight, and it is expected to remain extremely cold tomorrow and into the weekend.
A lone dog walker braves freezing Cleadon Hills this morning after temperatures dropped to an overnight low of -6C.
Met Office forecasters say today will be cold, but mainly dry, with long sunny spells after early freezing fog patches have cleared.
However, the odd wintry shower can't be ruled out near the coast, especially later. The maximum temperature will be 2°C.
It will be increasingly cloudy overnight, with coastal wintry showers becoming more frequent and spreading further inland as a northeast breeze picks up.
Away from the coast there will be a widespread frost, and it will again be a cold night, with temperatures dropping to as low as -3°C.
Cleadon Hills looking towards Sunderland was a wintry wonderland this morning as temperatures fell as low as -6C.
Yellow weather warnings for snow and ice remain in place for the North East as a whole from 6pm tonight until around noon tomorrow.
Friday will be rather cloudy, with further wintry showers, especially in the east. It will feel very cold in the strengthening northeast breeze, with a maximum temperature of 3°C.
Saturday will be cold, with further wintry showers in the east, while Sunday is expected to be increasingly cloudy after a widespread overnight frost, with rain or snow likely by evening, which should clear on Monday.

Niece of Mikhail Prokhorov in his childhood called "a tramp»
Irina Prokhorova told reporters that the hardship endured at an early age. The niece of billionaire told me why you got divorced with her husband, and who is now helping her to raise a daughter and a son. Irina also hinted at a new romance.
Irina Prokhorova is a rare visitor on secular receptions. She's successful in the profession, most of the time devotes to work. The niece of billionaire serves as the Executive Director of the charity Fund of Mikhail Prokhorov. Also Irina and has two children: daughter Alexandra and son Michael. Two years ago the successful businesswoman broke up with her husband after fifteen years of marriage.
However, the child of the niece of the businessman was not the happiest. Her family lived modestly. Irina remembered the case when it was called "a tramp" on the Playground.
"Years, probably eight or nine I had a friend whose family by Soviet standards lived very well: the father was the head of MOORE or something like that. Once in the winter we played at school our favorite game. Ran, fell on his stomach and slid across the ice on the pavement. Ride, and then her grandmother comes. Dramatically raises his friend from the ground and begins to scold: "you Have such a pretty coat! You want to be like that Gypsy? To look at it disgusting!". Ragamuffin was me. They're gone. And I still remember looking after them and thought: "I will rise and I will have so many beautiful coats, you do not even dreamed of," remembered Irina.
Today Irina lives in the suburbs in a two story house in the village of "Gorki-6". Prokhorov bought a house with her husband, a former gas top Manager. The couple met during their studies at the Finance Academy under the Government of the Russian Federation.
"It was love at first sight, as I wanted. The first marriage should be for love. No, the next, of course, too, but the first for sure. I have always been like that: I see a man and immediately know it's my character or not. Six years ago a daughter of Alexander, in may 2016 – the son of Michael. And in August 2016, after fifteen years of marriage, "were very different people," said Irina.
According to Prokhorova, thirty, thirty – five ends the youth, because the person already understands what he wants from life. Irina noted that if fate separates spouses, it is not necessary to save the marriage for the kids.
"I have seen many families where the parents did not get divorced and completely broke up the children's psyche. Keep human, friendly relationships after divorce is much better for children. We did it," – said the businesswoman.
Irina herself had experienced the divorce of her parents when she was one year old. Mother Irina Prokhorova was raised to be the heiress of one. "The period of years to ten or twelve, for me, was sad. Because I don't like to be in our apartment – we lived on the street Kibalchicha at the metro station "VDNKH". As a child I was sick, then one by one died, the grandparents, and I long to say. My mother had in those years is particularly hard: she worked, took care of dying parents, raised me alone," – said Prokhorov.
Irina said that in the life of a very shy person. Prokhorova's hard to be in unfamiliar company. However, if a businesswoman with someone friendly, these relations forever.
"With new people I find it hard to communicate, I am a person shy. I envy those who can come into any company, with all to get acquainted, and after two days already to be friends. But I, if someone made friends, never from the person themselves will not let go. Mom always told me: "In our country, nothing is allowed to accumulate, wealth comes and goes, you will always remain only education, dignity and true friends", – said Irina.
Prokhorov stressed that the education of the heirs of Sasha and Misha helping her mother. Irina D. comes to the daughter in the mansion on the weekends. "Mom never raises her voice. If the daughter starts to act up, quietly says, "Sasha, please calm down, I'll tell you a story that happened to me…" She thinks that the child will understand that adults are not any perfect people who never make a mistake, don't cry," Irina said.
Prokhorov spoke about the relationship of children with the great-grandfather Mikhail Prokhorov. Billionaire to show the strictness of the household. "Remember when we still lived together in SKOLKOVO, Sasha skated at home in a child's car and drove to Mishin guest room, and he came back with friends. Everybody says, "Oh, Irina, Sasha, Hello!"- and Misha decided to show rigor and says: "why are you here so late ride?"My daughter gave him a look that said, "I don't have time to talk," and left. Everyone laughed, and he stands and looks confused at me," shared memory Irina.
Prokhorov said that he hates the gym, and slender figure supports, doing exotic dances. For example, she has been practicing tribal is a mixture of belly dance, Indian and modern dance.
Irina hinted in an interview with "Tatler", which today is in love with, but the name of the chosen one chose not to call. "But you know, usually say: "I love how in sixteen years." And I now know what I have to say, "I love how in thirty-six". This is completely different", – noticed Irina Prokhorova.

If you are an aviation enthusiast, the main reason to visit Hong Kong USED to be Kai Tak – one of the world's most difficult airports to land at. I say "used to" because Kai Tak is no more. The airport was decommissioned in 1998 when the Chek Lap Kok airport opened west of the city. Unfortunately, I have never had an opportunity to land at Kai Tak when it was operational.
So picture this… One runway in the middle of a densely populated area surrounded by hills. During landing, the pilot had to execute a steep turn just a few hundred feet above the runway seconds before touchdown. You had to be on top of your game and your landing approach HAD to be perfect. As a passenger, you watched people in the surrounding buildings eat dinner and hang laundry on their balconies as you flew by. It was THE MOST SPECTACULAR landing to see from the cockpit and as a passenger.
When I went to visit the city recently, I naturally had to examine whatever was left of the old airport and see whether the famous "checkerboard," a visual aid on the side of the mountain to help the aircraft make the final turn, was still there. See my pictures. I would not be surprised that in a year or two there will be nothing left.

Ricardian Equivalence
The term Ricardian equivalence was coined by the American economist Robert Barro in the 1970s and subsequently became a standard topic in public finance and macroeconomic theory. The Ricardian equivalence theorem ascribes to David Ricardo (1772–1823), the English economist, the view that taxation and public borrowing constitute equivalent forms of financing public expenditure. The rationale behind this view is that the government is expected at some future time to redeem its debt. If one now supposes a closed economy, the repayment of debt will take place via increased future taxation, which means that, on the basis of the rational expectations hypothesis, individuals increase their savings through buying the bonds that have been issued by the government. The amount of savings, in other words, matches the size of the public deficit and therefore the interest-rate remains the same. This means that there is no crowding-out effect of private investment from public expenditure and the overall demand remains the same together with the other real variables of the economy.
A similar mechanism operates in the case of an open economy, where the redemption of public debt takes place via the sale of assets to international institutional agents. Such a possibility raises, once again, the question of limited future government income, hence the inevitable future increase of taxation. Consequently, Robert Barro in the early 1970s and the new classical economists argued that either method of financing public expenditure, that is, through taxation or borrowing, leads to the same final results. The theorem has been used to argue against government intervention in the economy through fiscal policy because it suggests that the government cannot achieve anything quite different from the free operation of market forces. Monetary policy has similar effects; for example, if government expands the money supply, the public does not increase its expenditures but rather its savings in order to meet the future tax obligations. In short, Ricardian equivalence became a necessary weapon in the armory of the new classical economics in their defense of "free market."
The truth, however, is that Ricardo, to whom this theorem is attributed, repudiated the notion of equivalence between the two ways of financing government expenditure. He reasoned that taxation falls on current incomes and primarily reduces current consumption and only secondarily saving. By contrast, borrowing falls entirely on savings, which for Ricardo and classical economists are identical to investment. As a consequence, public borrowing diminishes the investable product and has detrimental effects on the economy's capacity to accumulate capital.
The empirical evidence from various countries does not lend support to the Ricardian equivalence in its pure form, although there is some evidence that saving rates follow government spending—that is, it has been observed that the personal saving rate increases in the case of deficit spending and decreases in the case of government surpluses. It is very hard, however, to show a direct one-to-one relationship here. A usual criticism of the Ricardian equivalence theorem is that real-life situations are characterized by uncertainty regarding future income and also tax liability, which prevents individuals from behaving in accordance to rational expectations. Furthermore, Ricardian equivalence does not hold in cases where the growth rate of the economy exceeds the rate of interest.

A new concept from Metzeler has hit our radar, which targets large displacement Dual Sport bikes that spend a large portion of their time in the dirt.
Named after the desert region of South Africa, the Metzeler Karoo 3 Tires sport an aggressive block tread that is composed in a pattern that still supports street use. An internal poll here at RevZilla revealed several differing opinions on how to classify this tire. The majority answered 70/30 street, while some heavily argued for 50/50. For the sake of argument, lets call this one a 60/40.
An innovative trapezoidal tread ensures progressive off road traction regardless of lean angle. However the strategic geometry of the tread blocks allow for smooth use on-road as well. While not as smooth as a street tire, the stability of the Karoo should be surprising and the vibration greatly reduced compared to other dual sport tires in this class. In addition to this unique pattern, the rubber compound has been engineered for more mileage both on road and off.
Another stake in the game for Metzeler! We are anxious to mount a pair of these and put the Karoo 3 tire claims to the test.
