The Connecticut 169 Club: An Epic Road Trip!
Author, adventurer and historian Marty Podskoch scripted a brilliant solution for fragmented families and town-tied locals. With his latest travel guidebook going to press – The Connecticut 169 Club: Your Passport and Guide to Exploring Connecticut – this modern-day Mr. Rogers navigates readers from out behind the blue screen, off the interstate and onto Connecticut backroads to meet and merge with fascinating neighbors and uncover cool curiosities tucked into the 169 towns and cities in the Nutmeg State. Visit them all; get your passport book signed or stamped in each of the burgs, make notes in the space provided and you're a member of an exclusive club – complete with an official Leatherman patch. The patch commemorates this legendary vagabond, who during the late 1800's – in head-to-toe leather – travelled a 365-mile circuit between the Hudson and Connecticut Rivers while camping out in caves. There is also an annual meet-up event with fellow members, plus the ultimate takeaway: a volume with indelible memories of adventures on the road!
The book is a collective effort. Podskoch recruited the best and the brightest Connecticut writers, historians and officials each contributing a passage about their town's histories, haunts; food fixes and landmarks. This is a redux of the author's highly praised first passport volume, Adirondack 102 Club, a guidebook on the 102 towns in the Adirondack region. It is inspired by Vermont's 251 Club – made famous by the 1954 writings of Professor Arthur W. Peach, who was all about seeking adventure on the backroads – and it continues today. American Industrialists Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone & John Burroughs were the original Vagabonds; taking off on elaborate camping trips throughout the country – twice through the Adirondack's. All in great retro fun: Podskoch's readers who officially complete the gamut of NY towns and villages proudly receive their own Vagabond patches during an official dinner.
The backstory: Podskoch is a veteran seeker – relentless in his pursuit of regional history. Since 2001 the writer tirelessly explored the 102 diverse towns and villages in the Adirondacks, while amassing a wealth of material for his first five books on the historic fire towers, The Civilian Conservation Corps Camps and innumerable stories about the men responsible for the creation and preservation of these essential landmarks and national parks.
Over the course of the 12 year adventure, Podskoch slept in driveways in his pop-up trailer and was taken in by strangers inspired by his enthusiasm and the buzz of his project. He had a real-life "Night at the Museum" after giving a talk at the Remington Museum, and even camped out in a zoo next to a mountain lion's cage! This former Reading Teacher from Delhi, NY soon realized that the Adirondacks were far more than Lake George, Lake Placid, Old Forge and the standard tourist attractions and thus, inspired the first Travel Guide which got people excited to take to the road again, discover their regions and get in touch with their friends and family. His books put him in front of packed audiences; onto newspaper pages and broadcasting the adventure onto the airwaves.
When the Podskoch family relocated to East Hampton, Connecticut in 2005 as did Podskoch Press! The author continued his chronicles and traveled the 100 plus towns in Connecticut to discover the storied significance of the CCC camps in his adopted state. Podskoch published his 2016 Connecticut Civilian Conservation Corps Camps: History, Memories & Legacy of the CCC, and now, The Connecticut 169 Club: Your Passport and Guide to Exploring Connecticut.

Church leaders' abuse response mutes prophetic voice
Philippine president has a talent for making enemies twist in the wind and a ghoul's delight in seeing targets suffer
The abuse of minors by members of the clergy will be discussed at a Vatican summit from Feb. 21-24. (Photo by Angie de Silva)
Inday Espina-Varona, Manila
The arrest of an American priest who allegedly abused minors gives Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte a weapon against members of the clergy who criticize his bloody war against narcotics.
Police served five more arrest warrants on Father Kenneth Hendricks, who was nabbed in December by a joint team of Philippine and American law enforcers in the central Philippines.
A magistrate judge in Ohio district issued the first warrant against Hendricks for allegedly engaging in illicit sex with a minor in a foreign country, a crime punishable by up to 30 years in prison.
At the time of his arrest, the American priest was serving in the rural town of Naval on the island province of Biliran. A judge in Naval issued the new warrants for alleged "acts of lasciviousness" and child abuse.
Authorities said they expect prosecutors to process an estimated 50 more victims who were entrusted to Hendricks by poor families, a practice that dates back to Spanish colonial times.
The 78-year-old, now in the custody of the Bureau of Immigration, had served in Naval since 1968.
The Catholic Church around the world is reeling from accusations that bishops have been involved in sexual abuse or covering these up for decades.
Aside from undermining the Church's credibility, these cases also come with crippling financial costs.
But few countries have a president like Duterte, who regularly curses clerics and God and has urged supporters to subject bishops to theft and killings.
His supporters say those are just the president's theatrics. But there was no mistaking Duterte's pain and rage when he recalled a priest molesting him when he was a child, a claim validated by classmates.
Many Filipinos see this frequent remembrance of personal hell and the president's torrent of verbal abuse as reasons for the muted response by the country's church leaders to the spate of drug-related killings and other human rights violations.
A few outspoken prelates, activist priests and lay people continue to take on Duterte. It is frustrating, however, when senior members of the clergy call for moderation to avoid triggering another presidential rant.
The odds are high of this fear being rooted in sins committed by these privileged shepherds of souls.
Duterte likes to brandish a book, Altar of Secrets: Sex, Politics and Money in the Philippine Catholic Church, when he delivers his tirades against the Church.
Published in 2013, it is a collection of investigative reports on the affairs of some bishops and the children that spring from these, sexual abuse and financial mishandling of church funds.
Bishops can't sneer at Duterte's choice of a "truth-telling" source. Its late author, Aries Rufo, won awards for his coverage of the Church. He was also part of an independent group of journalists now considered prime enemies of Duterte.
The book also casts a harsh light on attempts to cover up scandals involving favorites of the late Cardinal Jaime Sin of Manila, who played a pivotal role in the ouster of dictator Ferdinand Marcos in 1986.
In the case of one bishop, the author wrote that the cardinal blocked a demand for a formal investigation for fear of causing damage to the Church's image.
Cautious instincts
Cardinal Sin's successor, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, has the same cautious instincts toward investigations of alleged sexual abuse by members of the clergy.
Cardinal Tagle, president of Caritas Internationalis and the Catholic Bible Federation since 2015, has been selected to speak at this week's Vatican summit on clerical sex abuse titled "The Protection of Minors in the Church."
A Vatican media announcement said the Manila prelate will tackle "smell of the sheep" and "knowing their pain and healing their wounds is at the heart of the shepherd's task."
Yet, in a 2016 interview with the BBC, Cardinal Tagle strongly hinted that compassion is better shown within the Church's strong walls, battling for internal resolution of complains via "the canonical process."
While he does not stop victims from seeking redress in the country's long and winding legal justice system, Cardinal Tagle indicates keeping cases under confidential processes would protect survivors from shame.
That's exactly what Hendricks told his scared victims: to speak out will bring shame on you and your families.
While the book being brandished by Duterte was well received by critics, there isn't really a mass market for investigative journalism books in the Philippines.
Chances are the public only has hazy memories of the scandals that led to the resignation of at least three bishops of dioceses around the national capital.
But Duterte has a talent for making enemies twist in the wind and a ghoul's delight in seeing targets suffer.
With the president's vast, well-funded social media machinery, the Church is faced with a very real prospect of prolonged torture by a thousand cuts.
And when the shepherds cower, the wolves are left free to devour the flock.

The SMU Perspective
Not a lot of Bell Helicopters Armed Forces Bowl news going on out there, so I'll try to touch on the few items I read about SMU.
I had been wondering about SMU's thoughts on the ESPN 30 for 30 film Pony Excess. June Jones talked to the Dallas News about the film's effect on this year's recruiting class.
Army coach Rich Ellerson recounted Sunday a story from when he and SMU coach June Jones were young coaches at Hawaii, preparing to face Air Force, a triple-option team.
"I remember in the locker room, June saying, 'I hate this offense,' " Ellerson said. "I remember saying, 'I love this offense. I hate to play against it.' Here we are, umpteen years later, getting ready to get after each other."
Ellerson, now a master of the option offense, will lead his resurgent Black Knights against Jones' up-and-coming SMU program and its Run and Shoot offense Dec. 30 in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl.
Rave review: Jones gave Pony Excess a rave review and said the ESPN "30 for 30" documentary on SMU's recruiting scandals of the 1980s became an instant recruiting tool. SMU had 15 or so recruits visit over the weekend, and Saturday night's broadcast couldn't have come at a better time, Jones said.
"I thought it was pretty awesome," Jones said. "These kids weren't even born, but they didn't know the history, that SMU was the best in the country at one time. The energy the next morning after the show with them was off the charts.
"You cannot buy that kind of publicity. We're still being replayed right now. When we go on the road, in airports, people go, 'Where's SMU? What is that, what does that stand for?' ... That whole part of the show just changed that."
Jones said the negative aspect of the story bothers some on campus.
"I'm sure there's some people at SMU that didn't particularly care for it being dragged out again," he said. "But the end result is that it's positive for us right now."
It's easy for Jones to not mind the exposure as he one of the few SMU partisans viewed in a favorable light in the entire movie. With that said, what happened at SMU went down a long time ago and the school paid dearly for their rules violations. In the last 9 or so years I have become very aware of SMU's effort to return to the postseason and by casually following their story I've become a bit of an SMU fan. I don't go out of my way to watch SMU games, and win or lose it's their deal, not mine. But I find it hard to root against them knowing how good the Mustangs were and how far they had fallen. At any rate, you may have the chance to watch Pony Excess between now and the bowl game and if you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor - watch this documentary. There has been a grand total of one ESPN 30 for 30 movies that didn't entertain and educate me and the 30 for 30 film The Two Escobars ranks among the best movies I have ever seen - certainly one of the top documentaries I have ever seen. So if you haven't seen it, watch it, it's a very entertaining film.
CSTV takes Coach Jones to task about his "hatred" for the option offense in this enlightening Q&A.
Q: Do you like playing triple option offenses, going up against them?
A: You know, it's one of those things during the year that you usually get some guys rolled up or get some guys hurt in the front seven with all the cutting and all the things that go on with it. So you kind of take a beating the next week whenever you go play.
But all in all, I think the advantage of playing the Academy outweighs all the things about the offense. When I was in Hawaii, the only time we got any newspaper coverage was playing Air Force, Army or Navy, and it would be on the front page of the New York Times. They normally wouldn't even cover our games because they were so late, but they always covered those, so it was important. Since I've come to SMU, when we play Navy, it's in everybody's newspaper and the TV coverage. So it's all positive for the school.
June Jones is wary of the option offense.
"The triple option is a very difficult offense to prepare for," Jones said. "I'm glad we have time to prepare for it. We also played against it at Navy. This will be a better situation for us. I know Rich very well. He will have some new little wrinkles and some little things by the time we get to game day."
And both coaches are aware of what postseason play means to developing a program.
"The young guys, you get an extra spring practice almost," SMU coach June Jones said. "You get a chance for them to live in January through March with a good feeling and a chance for them to say, 'Hey, we've got to get back to that bowl situation next year.' It breeds more of that."

I suppose it's time to get over the Navy/Army game
As with any wound it's important to clean the injury up before you put a bandage on it and this post is going to attempt to do that regarding the last loss. Here are the game recaps for Navy/Army 2010.
TheReporterOnline touches on some one Navy/Army game record.
John Howell (Lansdale Catholic), a sophomore at Navy, caught the longest reception in the Army/Navy series with a 77-yard TD reception in a 31-17 Navy win. It was only Howell's second reception of the season. He does have 11 carries for 77 yards and two touchdowns.
The Philly.com Recap touches on another game record.
The Midshipmen (9-3) fumbled the ball away on their next series and Army drove to the Navy 3, when - on first-and-goal - Navy senior Wyatt Middleton picked up a fumble by Steelman and rumbled 98 yards for a touchdown.
It was the longest fumble recovery in the history of the Naval Academy and gave the Midshipmen a 24-7 lead with 1:03 left in the half.
"Our backs were against the wall," Middleton said. "From being at the [3-yard line], it's like, 'Aw, man, they're about to score on us.' Then, all of a sudden, we score a touchdown . . . My emotions were at a high peak right there."
Sure, it's clear that Philly loves Army/Navy Navy/Army, but the website of that name apparently didn't love it enough to write up the actual game.
Personally, I love when army.mil writes on Army football.
Even though the Black Knights did not secure a victory this year, falling to the Mids 31-17, they will go on and fight another day, taking on the Southern Methodist University Mustangs Dec. 30, in their first bowl appearance since 1996.
The game is what brings these two great institutions together every year on a neutral site, yet the game embodies so much more than just football. For one Saturday afternoon in early December, the country and audiences in far-off lands get an opportunity to sit back and see what Army and Navy football players play for and what they represent and stand for.
The boys over at Presnap Read try to sell next year on us -
Yes, the gap has closed. At least a bit, though today's results claim otherwise. No, the gap on the scoreboard hasn't closed. Navy's still quicker and faster, but Army's improving — next year, maybe next year, the Cadets can get the better of the Midshipmen. For now, this rivalry continues to be all Navy.
To me that is a hard sell. Rich Ellerson has his toughest job ahead of him as there will be new starters across both lines and in key positions on defense. While a repeat act of 2010's results would make next year's season a ringing success for Army, counting on a year like that would only heap unrealistic expectations on fan and team alike.
The team can definitely make progress next year without capturing the CIC trophy, and may not even need to gain bowl eligibility to experience success, but a losing year loses the 15 extra bowl practices and could stunt the development of a team that is clearly 2 years away from taking the next stride in its progress.
Sal looks at the fumble return as the turning point of the game.
The uncharacteristic news outlets all got their fingers in the pie. I find it funny to see a football article by the Huffington Post, but press is press. If they keep up the USMA articles maybe more HuffPo readers will turn on to Army football
Whether or not Army beats Navy next year we know Army is making progress, for now the Black Knights are going to have to quantify that progress in other terms. For at least one calendar year we've got to look to other manifestations of progress. That isn't to say Army can't compete with Navy, that is just saying that the Black Knights have manifest more progress until the next time Army plays Navy.
With that said, take a look at next year's slate.
9/03/11- at Northern Illinois
9/10/11- San Diego State
9/17/11 - Northwestern
9/24/11 - at Ball State
10/01/11 - Tulane
10/08/11 - at Miami (Ohio)
10/22/11 - at Vanderbilt
10/29/2011 - Fordham
11/5/11- at Air Force
11/12/11 - Rutgers (Bronx, NY)
11/19/11 - at Temple
12/10/11 - Navy (Washington, D.C.)
Some solid teams appear on the 2011 schedule, with notable games against Tulane at Michie Stadium (the last scheduled game of the series), vs. Rutgers at Yankee Stadium, and solid home dates against Northwestern and Fordham.
These teams may all be stronger next year than they were this year, but these are not powerhouse teams. Army has nothing to be afraid of next year and everything to play for. Lamenting Navy ended on Sunday, from here on out the theme will be for Army to just get better. Get better and quantify the progress.

The Unbalanced Line Final Rankings
A strange facet of the Blogpoll balloting interface has locked in my last submission as the end-all ranking for the 2011 season. This week I go rogue in an effort to publish my actual end of season rankings
In terms of ranking, this time there is just one switch, Navy jumps up one spot and takes over the #20 spot of the top ranked Big East team. WVU slides down a spot and the top 25 is final for the year.
I don't know if I'll change the rankings after the bowls, but we will see if I am able and willing to rerank the teams after the bowl season.
Here it is then, the Unbalanced Line final standings for the 2010 season.

Army Navy Wrap Up
In all honesty I did enjoy the game, though I seldom felt like Army was on the verge of breaking through.
Ugh, the sick irony of the Beetle Bailey headline banner picture juxtaposed with that 98 yard fumble return. Absolutely crushing. Due to that and the current 9 year streak of losses, the rivalry will now be referred to as the Navy/Army game on this site until further notice.
Regardless, I'm here to spin positive. The team has 15 extra practices coming their way and the seniors will close out their careers with one last tilt in Dallas. The Navy loss will sting, but this team will get over it. You want motivation? I would hate to be the Mustangs on Dec 30th. The loss to Navy makes the Armed Forces Bowl a must win game for the Black Knights.
This team has the impetus to go out and earn themselves a winning season, the success of Army's 2010 campaign depends on it.
As for Navy, they have solidified their status as my 3rd most hated NCAA football team.
Congratulations to the Mids, they earned the win.

Sanofi-Aventis, one of the world's biggest pharmaceutical companies, is investing $65 million to expand its Cambridge, Massachusetts facility, and will hire 300 additional employees, the Boston Globe reports. The company, which is located in Paris, France, will set up its cancer division's new joint headquarters.
"We believe that Cambridge is really the heart of oncology today,'' Hanspeter Spek, president of Sanofi-Aventis global operations, said in a company conference call this year. "We intend to benefit from this environment as a neighbor.''
Massachusetts is banking on the pharmaceutical industry to buoy the state's economy. Two years ago Governor Deval Patrick began a $1 billion, 10-year plan to offer tax incentives to life sciences companies. Last year, 26 companies received a total of $24.5 million.
Sanofi-Aventis has applied for $2.45 million in state tax credits from the Life Sciences Center, and will ask for another $6.5 million over the next four years.
Several other foreign pharmaceutical companies have facilities around Boston, such as Novartis, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, and AstraZeneca.

La quantification vectorielle est une technique de quantification souvent utilisée dans la compression de données avec pertes de données (Lossy Data Compression) pour laquelle l'idée de base est de coder ou de remplacer par une clé des valeurs d'un espace vectoriel multidimensionnel vers des valeurs d'un sous-espace discret de plus petite dimension. Le vecteur de plus petit espace nécessite moins d'espace de stockage et les données sont donc compressées.
La réduction vers un sous-espace est habituellement réalisée par une projection, ou en utilisant un dictionnaire (codebook). Dans certains cas, l'implémentation d'un codebook peut aussi bien servir au codage de l'entropie des valeurs discrètes qu'à la génération de valeurs codées à longueur variable et à code préfixe.

Good nutrition is the cornerstone to successful flock performance. It's key to unlocking the genetic potential in a flock. Correctly fed sheep perform better; ewes will have a better chance of staying healthy throughout pregnancy and lactation, and successfully rearing lambs to weaning. Ewes and lambs will also be healthier and more resistance to disease and internal parasites.
Understanding the nutritional requirements of the flock throughout the year, and using condition scoring to ensure that requirements are being met is important. From the moment of conception, nutrition has a large influence on a sheep's lifetime performance. On the right hand side of this page is a link to a ewe nutrition timeline, to help farmers manage the condition of their ewes throughout the year.
Consideration also needs to be given to profitability. As much of the nutritional demands of the flock as possible should be met from the lowest cost feed, which is grazed grass. You will therefore find a number of features on this page taken from Livestock + magazine, produced by QMS, that highlight how farmers around Scotland have changd their grass and silage management to save feed costs.

Steyn on Kipling
https://www.steynonline.com/8158/steyn-on-kipling
An escort of Her Majesty's Indian Cavalry escort Queen Victoria's carriage into the forecourt of Buckingham Palace during the Diamond Jubilee observances of 1897
We launched The Mark Steyn Club just this summer, and I'm immensely heartened by all the longtime SteynOnline regulars - from Fargo to Fiji, Vancouver to Vanuatu, Madrid to Malaysia - who've signed up to be a part of it. As I said at the time, membership isn't for everyone, but it is a way of ensuring that all our content remains available for everyone - all my columns, audio interviews, video content, all our movie features and songs of the week. None of it's going behind a paywall, because I want it out there in the world, being read and heard and viewed, and maybe changing an occasional mind somewhere along the way.
That said, we are introducing a few bonuses for our Club Members - not locking up our regular content, which will always be free, but admitting members to a few experimental features, such as today's video divertissement. This occasional feature celebrates some classic poetry I've mentioned in my books and columns over the years - verse that speaks to our own age as much as the poet's own. As I said when we introduced our audio series Tales for Our Time, if it turns out a total stinkeroo, we shall never speak of it again. But, if it avoids stinkeroo status, we may put it on DVD or some digital download format at Amazon. So bear with us, because it's a work in progress.
I thought an ongoing weekend poetry anthology might be a useful addition to the SteynOnline line-up, in part because, if it turns out that poetry on TV is where the big bucks are, I'll look like a genius. And, if that's not the case, then more modestly I'd like to do my bit to keep some of this stuff in circulation - especially given the state of western education systems and the increasing brazenness of the new barbarians. As you might have noticed from recent asides in print and on air, I'm concerned about the erasure, in the broadest sense, of our cultural inheritance - the once widely recognized allusions that fewer and fewer people know. I never thought I had a spectacular education, but by the time I was a teenager I had more lines of English verse bobbing around in my head than my own kids do. And I think that's a loss.
Today's poem was a prophetic one - Rudyard Kipling's Recessional, written at the height of imperial power in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year of 1897. I've quoted it on several occasions over the years. In today's episode I'll explain why. It's a profound work, and its premonitions apply far beyond Victorian England. To watch it (or hear it), prefaced by my introduction, please click here and log-in.
For our previous poem, Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold, please click here.
Membership in The Mark Steyn Club does come with some non-poetic benefits, including:
~Our nightly radio serial Tales for Our Time, the fourth of which starts this coming Friday;
~Exclusive Steyn Store member pricing on over 40 books, mugs, T-shirts, and other products;
~The opportunity to engage in live Clubland Q&A sessions with yours truly;
~Transcript and audio versions of The Mark Steyn Show, SteynPosts, and other video content, including today's poem;
~My new quarterly newsletter The Clubbable Steyn, the second issue of which we're currently putting together;
~Advance booking for my live appearances around the world;
~Customized email alerts for new content in your areas of interest;
~and the chance to support our print, audio and video ventures as they wing their way around the planet.
To become a member of The Mark Steyn Club, please click here. And for our new Gift Membership see here.
One other benefit to Club Membership is our Comment Club privileges. So, if you like or dislike this brand new feature, or consider my poem reading a bust, then feel free to comment away below. I weigh in on the comment threads myself from time to time, but sparingly - because it's mainly your turf, so have at it (in verse, if you wish).


I'm hearing that the Patsy Fleming show at Foundry Gallery in DC is doing something rare for a DC art show: selling like hot cakes... gangbusters... ah... selling really well with 18 paintings having found a new home on the walls of a collector.
The show closes Sunday, so if you can swing by, check out her work, and maybe buy one.

Lionizing Wealthy Americans, Rather Than Taxing Them
(Photo: CartoonArts International / The New York Times Syndicate)
A new paper on optimal taxes in the latest edition of the Journal of Economic Perspectives, by the economists Peter Diamond and Emmanuel Saez, is a tough read (I'm still working on it myself), but there's one discussion that I think helps make a useful point about current political debate.
In the first part of the paper, "The Case for a Progressive Tax: From Basic Research to Policy Recommendations," Mr. Diamond and Mr. Saez analyze the optimal tax rate on top earners in the United States. And they argue that this should be the rate that maximizes the revenue collected from these top earners — full stop. Why? Because if you're trying to maximize any sort of aggregate welfare measure, it's clear that a marginal dollar of income makes very little difference to the welfare of the wealthy, as compared with the difference it makes to the welfare of the poor and middle class. So to a first approximation, policy should soak the rich for the maximum amount — not out of envy or a desire to punish, but simply to raise as much money as possible for other purposes.
Now, this doesn't imply a 100 percent tax rate, because there are going to be behavioral responses — high earners will generate at least somewhat less taxable income in the face of a high tax rate, either by actually working less or by pushing their earnings underground. Using parameters based on the literature, Mr. Diamond and Mr. Saez suggest that the optimal tax rate on the highest earners is in the vicinity of 70 percent.
I hear loud screams from the right side of the room.
Parsing those screams, I hear the following arguments:
1. Theft! Tyranny! O.K., I hear you. This can't be argued on rational grounds; I think there are a lot more important moral issues in the world than defending the right of the rich to keep their money, but whatever.
2. They'll go John Galt! This amounts to saying that Mr. Diamond and Mr. Saez's estimate of "behavioral elasticity" is too low. Maybe, but they're pretty careful about that, and your gut isn't better than their econometrics.
3. You'll kill job creation! This is where it gets interesting.
Right now the official rhetoric of the right, and a fair number of people who consider themselves centrist, is that high-income individuals are "job creators" who must be cherished for the good they do.
Yet textbook economics says that in a competitive economy, the contribution any individual (or for that matter any factor of production) makes to the economy at the margin is what that individual earns — period. What a worker contributes to gross domestic product with an additional hour of work is that worker's hourly wage, whether that hourly wage is $6 or $60,000 an hour. This in turn means that the effect on everyone else's income if a worker chooses to work one hour less is precisely zero. If a hedge fund manager gets $60,000 an hour, and he works one hour less, he reduces G.D.P. by $60,000 — but he also reduces his pay by $60,000, so the net effect on other peoples' incomes is zip.
Of course, he doesn't actually lose all of that $60,000, since he ends up paying less in taxes. So there is a loss of revenue from that withdrawal of effort. But that's precisely what the Diamond-Saez calculation takes into account, and the reason the optimal top tax rate isn't 100 percent.
So, are conservatives comfortable with this analysis? I would guess not, since they have a deep-seated belief that the 1 percent, by working harder, are doing the 99 percent a big favor, creating jobs and raising incomes — and that this gain isn't fully (or even largely) captured by the money they're paid. My point, then, is that this claim — and the lionization of high earners as people who make a vast contribution to society — is not, in fact, something that comes out of the free-market economic principles these people claim to believe in. Even if you believe that the top 1 percent, or better yet the top 0.1 percent, are actually earning the money they make, what they contribute is what they get, and they deserve no special solicitude.

As I sat on the plane, watching cloud-covered mountains pass by, I couldn't help but wonder what I was getting myself into. I was an 18-year-old recent high school grad, leaving home for a seemingly indefinite amount of time as I traveled to Duke for begin a new phase of my life. I was currently freaking out about how to make friends, how to pass my classes, and exactly what a Marketplace swipe was. How was I to know that before long, I would be friends with the barista in Perkins, I would get coffee with my professors, and I would get free dinners every Sunday night with PCM+.
Unbeknownst to me, there was already someone hard at work to help make Duke feel like home. Earlier in the summer, my parents had received a letter from Katie Owen (now Aumann), the Presbyterian Campus Minister at Duke. Although my parents were ecstatic that they had surely found the perfect religious group for me, I wanted to be free to explore all of my options on campus. At the religious life fair, I introduced myself to Katie, but also went around to several different tables, picking up information packets and getting promised rides to church left and right.
Two months and an abundance of free food later, I was thoroughly confused. Each group I tried out had something distinct to offer, and I enjoyed spending time with each. However, I knew my social calendar couldn't take much more indecision on my part. At some point, I needed to make a decision about what I wanted out of my faith journey at Duke, and who I wanted to walk in that journey with. Hence, I decided to meet for coffee with each of the religious leaders I had met, and finally resolve my internal struggle. Each had their own spiel about why their group was the best fit for me, which only clouded my judgment further.
However, when I met with Katie for a locopop on a hot Thursday afternoon, I could see God's hand pointing me in the right direction. Katie wasn't afraid to be honest with me about my options. She didn't pressure me to pick PCM+, but spoke candidly about the positive aspects of each religious group I was considering. I felt as though she genuinely cared about my spiritual well being, regardless of where it was coming from. I could feel God's spirit alive and well in Katie, and her infectious laughter put me at ease. After our conversation and fall retreat weekend in Montreat, I knew I had found my new home.
And now, two years later, calling PCM home would be an understatement. PCM quickly became my support system on campus, filled with my favorite people who are always down to take study breaks, hug a fellow Presbyterian, and eat lots and lots of chocolate. Although I live on central campus, I spend more time in the chapel basement than I do in my own apartment. Our group is so much more than a group of people who worship together. We have become a close-knit, yet always inviting, eclectic group of students whom I feel so blessed to call my best friends.

Plane Breaks Apart In A Turkish Field, Killing 3 And Injuring Nearly 179
By Merrit Kennedy
Published February 5, 2020 at 4:44 PM CST
Can Erok
An airplane careened off a runway at Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen airport on Wednesday evening, dropping more than 100 feet to the ground where it broke into pieces. Turkish authorities say that at least three people were killed and 179 others were injured.
The plane, from a Turkish low-cost carrier called Pegasus Airlines, was coming from the western city of Izmir and was attempting to land in Istanbul during bad weather.
"According to the information we obtained, the plane ... drifted to the land as a result of the hard landing," Turkey's Health Minister Fahrettin Koca told the Anadolu news agency.
Istanbul's governor Ali Yerlikaya said it skidded on the runway for about 160 feet, according to the news agency. "Then, it falls from a height of around 30 meters [100 feet] here," he said, over a road and eventually an empty field.
CCTV footage obtained by Reuters shows the plane moving down the runway before suddenly disappearing, apparently off a cliff. It reportedly also burst into flames.
Photos from the scene show the plan broken into three pieces, with the nose completely severed from the rest of the plane. According to The Associated Press, passengers "had to evacuate through cracks in the smashed plane." The aircraft was carrying 177 passengers and six crew members, Koca stated.

The plane skidded off the runway, crashing into a field and breaking into pieces.
According to Flightradar24, the plane is a Boeing 737-800 that was built in 2009. It previously was operated by Air Berlin and joined the fleet of Pegasus Airlines in 2016.
Flight positioning data obtained by the tracking website shows the plane landing in the center of the runway, before veering to the left of the lane and eventually careening off its edge.
The airline stated that flights to and from the airport in Istanbul were suspended in the wake of the incident because of the runway closure.
According to Anadolu, prosecutors have launched an investigation into the crash. Reuters reports that a local broadcaster reported that the plane's two pilots are in serious condition.
Hasan Eraydin told the AP that he was driving home when he saw the crash.
"We were about 30 meters away ... we tried to get to the scene to help, but there was some sort of a canal in between and it was impossible," he said. "We thought 'God willing, no one has died'."
This isn't a first for a plane belonging to this airline. Last month, another of its planes slid off the runway at the same airport, though nobody was injured.
In 2018, in a particularly dramatic incident, a Pegasus plane skidded off a runway and down a cliff face. It halted before it fell into the Black Sea below it, and nobody on board was hurt.

...~1000 or so files

I am trying to commit them to a large git repo:
$ git commit -v 10/44/ -m 'Autocommit'

But the spinner thing goes away in the terminal after about 3 seconds, and it just sits there for > 10 minutes (before I cancelled the process). No verbose output was seen either, even with specifying -v. Wondering how to get git to commit these files other than committing them one-by-one. Wondering why it is hanging without doing any processing, or if something is happening in the background. 1000 files should take at most 5 minutes in my experience, but this goes significantly longer. If I shorten the directory, same thing.

A: The first things to check is your Git version:

*

*Git 2.20 added optimization in tree traversal which could impact your commit.

*the commit graph introduced in GIt 2.18 can speed up the retrieval on latest commits to build upon the next one

*the diff --historigram has been optimized in Git 2.19

*Git pack-object size is smaller with Git 2.21

*etc...

I suppose my story starts at a point before I started cycling.
The reason for this is that I think I have always wanted to cycle but the idea of choosing and buying a bike with no knowledge of the sport seemed impossible, I was also scared to go out on my own and joining a club as a complete novice seemed not just intimidating but almost undoable.
A colleague at work had told me about "some women in your area that you could ride with" and that is how I came across a community of cyclist called BellaVelo. In August 2017 I bought my bike, and it looked lovely sitting in the bay window where it lived for the next eight months. It was in May 2018 that I finally braved up and joined a beginner's ride. To put this into perspective, at this point I had never pumped my own tyres on my bike, let alone changed one.
In March 2015 I saw a tweet about a new cycling shop for women that opened in Surbiton. They were hosting shop rides every two weeks.
My very good friend that I always cycled with on the road moved back to South Africa and I seriously lacked some riding partners with the same ability. Coming from a mountain biking background and not familiar with riding in big groups I stepped out of my comfort zone and joined BellaVelo for a ride. I met the lovely Belinda with her radio voice and many other ladies. After that initial ride I dragged my friend Liezl along.
I've met the most lovely and diverse group of ladies since I've moved to this country 13 years ago. The friendship, banter, encouragement and camaraderie is second to none and it is with pride that I tell others about our cycling community/cycling club. Every ride leaves me with a smile on my face and reminds me of how it all started.


THE WAGERLose a bet, lose your heart…What is it about a junior-high crush that can send an otherwise intelligent woman into a tailspin? TV reporter Char Lynn wishes she knew. Jake Titus is too rich, too handsome, too arrogant: a trifecta that once lured Char into the best night-and worst morning-after-of her life. Now they've been thrown together in a wedding party. It's awkward, but survivable . . . until Jake stops acting like a jerk, and starts acting like the man she'd always hoped he could be.
I laughed so hard with all her antics here. Jake and Char never knew what hit them. Char has been pining for Jake since they were grade schoolers… then after a one night stand where Jake just left her, she's out to get even. But Grandma Nadine has other plans.
All this is happening during the preparation of Kasey and Travis wedding. The banters between Char and Jake is just hilarious, the sexual tension, hot!
The wedding had me in tears.
What can I say, I enjoyed and loved this book very much. It's exactly just what I need. Definitely a recommended read!!!


Ok, so you've decided on forming a corporation, great! Read on to learn more about the different types of corporations available to you.
Upon creation, a corporation is a distinct legal entity which allows the corporation's founders to have limited personal liability for the corporation's business operations. However, in order to maintain this separateness, you must ensure that the corporation complies with certain formalities. For instance, corporations must file articles of incorporation with the state, appoint a board of directors, and create corporate bylaws that the directors and officers of the corporation must abide by. A corporation must hold its first organizational meeting, where it elects the board of directors (or additional directors), adopts the bylaws, appoints officers, designates a bank as a depository for corporate funds, and approves the sale of stock to initial shareholders. Corporate shareholders and corporate directors must each hold annual meetings and keep meeting minutes, which are written records that describe the details of the meeting including who was present, the actions taken and the topics discussed. A corporation that does not abide by these formalities risks subjecting the corporation's directors and officers to personal liability for disregarding the corporate form. However, a corporation that chooses the closed corporation form may disregard complying with these formalities – more on that next!
A corporation may choose to incorporate as a statutory "close corporation." California lawmakers created close corporations after recognizing that participants in small corporations often agree among themselves about control and financial matters, and thus do not operate through shareholders' and directors' meetings. As long as the corporation complies with the close corporation requirements (described below) it can avoid most of the corporate formalities described for a standard corporation above.
No more than 35 shareholders.
The articles of incorporation must contain a statement that the corporation is a close corporation and it must specify that the corporation's shares may not be held by more than 35 shareholders.
Shareholders' Agreement: The shareholders must agree to which matters they (rather than the board) will control in a written shareholders' agreement.
All share certificates, or in the case of uncertificated shares the transaction statement, must contain a specific, restrictive legend indicating that the corporation is a closed corporation.
Unlike regular corporations, close corporations are not required to hold annual shareholder and director meetings. A close corporation form may be more suitable for those corporations with a single/few shareholder(s), in which the shareholders plan to be substantially involved with the corporation's operation and management. This differs from a regular corporation, where shareholders often appoint directors and officers to operate and manage the corporation.
On the other hand, for those corporations who may seek investment from several investors, close corporation status would not be preferable since the corporation is limited to 35 shareholders and a close corporation's shares contain transfer restrictions. Also, for those corporations primarily operated by a board of directors and officers, in which shareholders are minimally involved, close corporation status would not be preferable since annual director and shareholder meetings would be a desirable and beneficial part of a corporation's operation.
A corporation may also form as a benefit corporation, which is a relatively new type of corporation that allows the company to operate for-profit, while also pursuing a "general public benefit." Benefit corporations operate very similarly to regular corporations, except the benefit corporation provides greater protection to its officers and directors to pursue objectives that benefit society, the environment, and the corporation's employees. Benefit corporations must also create an annual report detailing how it achieved its "general public benefit" according to an independent third-party standard. Read our article The Benefit Corporation: A Mission Driven, Profit Seeking Business Entity for more information on benefit corporations.
Fun fact: Wilkinson Mazzeo has recently started using "PC" because we've incorporated as a Professional Corporation. While you may have assumed that the PC meant, "politically correct," now you know that it means Professional Corporation!
