What the Great Recession Wrought: The State of the U.S. in 3 Years of Polls
The economic downturn exacerbated the deep political and cultural divides in our 50-50 nation. Here's what three years of polling data says about where America stands today.
More than three years into the deepest economic downturn since the Depression, Americans are resilient, wary, and divided.
That's a central message from the 11 Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor polls conducted each quarter since April 2009. Across an array of questions, the polls show Americans to be resilient in their enduring conviction that their economic fate will turn primarily on their own efforts, rather than on large forces beyond their control; wary in their deepening skepticism that they can rely on any large institution, from banks and major corporations to Congress and the federal bureaucracy, to protect their interests; and deeply divided along partisan, ideological, and racial lines over Washington's proper role in national life.
With more than 12,000 cumulative interviews, the surveys paint a portrait of a nation struggling to maintain faith in old beliefs about opportunity, self-sufficiency, and the rewards of hard work amid a nagging fear that the economy's new dynamics expose average Americans to far more financial insecurity than earlier generations—and sentence the nation to more disruptive cycles of boom and bust. By overwhelming margins, those polled consistently have expressed faith that they can still achieve the American Dream, defined as the opportunity to advance as far as their talents will take them, and to live better than their parents. And yet, the surveys also find ominous cracks in that conviction, with many Americans, especially whites, growing pessimistic that their children will exceed, or even equal, their own standard of living.
This uneasy mix of anxiety and determination infuses all 11 surveys, which examined American attitudes toward a variety of economic trends and financial challenges from opportunity and risk to demographic change, global competition, the millennial generation's prospects, homeownership, public and private debt, and the changing nature of retirement. The polls make clear that the recession landed in the center of American life with the force of a natural disaster, even rattling groups usually sheltered from economic instability and shaking beliefs that have persisted for generations on issues ranging from the nature of retirement to the value of a college education.
One theme consistently winding through the polls is the emergence of what could be called a "reluctant self-reliance," as Americans look increasingly to reconstruct economic security from their own efforts, in part because they don't trust outside institutions to provide it for them. The surveys suggest that the battered economy has crystallized a gestating crisis of confidence in virtually all of the nation's public and private leadership class—from elected officials to the captains of business and labor. Taken together, the results render a stark judgment: At a time when they believe they are navigating much more turbulent economic waters than earlier generations, most Americans feel they are paddling alone. Shawn Kurt, an unemployed lumber-mill worker in Molalla, Ore., who responded to one survey, spoke for many when he plaintively declared, "I myself don't see no one trying to help me."
This complex set of opinions creates a turbulent political climate for both parties as the 2012 campaign intensifies. Most immediately, the surveys point to a closely fought presidential contest. In Heartland Monitor surveys over the past two years, President Obama has maintained an equivocal but remarkably stable position, recently facing a narrow plurality of disapproval on his performance, while consistently holding a narrow majority of hope on the direction he has set for the nation. After successive sharp swings toward the Democrats in 2006 and 2008 and the Republicans in 2010, a broad array of the surveys' findings indicate that the 2012 presidential race will once again divide the country almost in half, as did the 2000 and 2004 campaigns that inspired talk of the "50-50 nation." No matter which side emerges from 2012 with an edge, the attitudes captured in the polls point toward years of sustained electoral volatility.
The Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor surveys have explored American attitudes on the changing economy each quarter since April 2009. The 11 polls, conducted by Ed Reilly, Brent McGoldrick, and Jeremy Ruch of FTI Strategic Communications, a communications-strategy consulting firm, have surveyed between 1,000 and 1,200 adults each time, with a margin of error ranging between 2.8 and 3.1 percentage points. To provide more detailed data, several surveys oversampled specific populations, such as young people, retirees, and racial minorities.
With the election year commencing, National Journal, in collaboration with FTI, has analyzed all 11 surveys to identify the central trends in public opinion as the nation passes through the dark valley of the Great Recession and its aftermath. That effort produced the following key conclusions about attitudes toward the economy and politics.

A judge has refused to throw out first-degree murder indictments and declined to suppress incriminating statements for a man that Lil' Boosie allegedly hired for murder, reports The Advocate.
In October 2009, Boosie reportedly hired then 17-year-old Michael "Marlo Mike" Louding to kill Terry Boyd. Earlier this week, Louding's attorney, Margaret Lagattuta, asked state District Judge Trudy White to dismiss the first-degree murder indictment in the Boyd case because of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that states "cannot automatically impose life sentences without the possibility of parole on juveniles in murder cases."
In Louisiana, a first-degree murder conviction leads to either death by lethal injection or life in prison. Now 20, Louding is not eligible for the death penalty because he was a juvenile at the time of the incident. His lawyer said that she would be unable to explain to the jury what sentence Louding might face if convicted, and will ask the state 1st Circuit Court of Appeal to review the denial to lift the indictment.
Additionally, Lagattuta asked the judge to suppress statements where he admitted involvement in five separate homicides. During Boosie's trial, Louding testified that he and Hatch had nothing to do with Boyd's death, and denied killing anyone else. Prosecutors believe that he lied to the jury.
Louding is currently scheduled to stand trial on March 18th.
Last year, Boosie was found not guilty in Boyd's murder. He is presently serving an eight-year sentence for attempting to smuggle codeine, ecstasy and marijuana into jail.

Yadier Molina has returned to the lineup for tonight's game against the futile Houston Astros.
Speaking of futile: Ty Wiggington is already gone.
As hinted by Joe Strauss earlier today, the Cardinals have decided to release Wiggington. They are still responsible for the remainder of his contract. Mozeliak knew he needed bench help last offseason, and we all agreed. But signing a guy like Wiggington for TWO years at 5 million doesn't make a lot of sense. It was a head scratcher, and a rare whiff by the front office.
The Cardinals have decided to call up catcher Rob Johnson from Memphis. A former Met, Rob is hitting .236 with a .395 slugging percentage. He has hit 7 HRs and 32 RBIs. Rob Johnson will serve as the 3rd catcher as Molina tentatively comes back. He has plenty of experience and the pitching staff should have no problem with him.
What about Tony Cruz?
This could just be temporary, but my guess is that Tony Cruz will fill that "Wiggington Role". He can play 1st base and the corner outfield spots. Cruz put together some nice AB's while Molina was out and, at least for now, he will fill that bench role.

UCI Track Teams
Currently Under Construction
2016-2017 UCI Track Teams
Welcome to the homepage for the 2016-2017 UCI track teams. On here you will find all of the information we have on the logistics of forming, registering, and maintaining a UCI track team. In case you have navigated here by accident, this information is specific to track teams. We also manage the UCI men's and women's road continental teams.
Well, let's get to it then! You can either scroll through this entire document or click on the individual items in the list below to be taken to that section. I hope you find this information useful. If you ever need assistance with any aspect of your team process, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached at: email@example.com. You can call me at my direct work number, which is 719-434-4263.
What's On This Page?
- Team Composition and General Principles
- Roster Changes
- Key Dates for Team Registration
- Associated Fees for Registering a Team
- Downloadable Files
1. Team Composition and General Principles
This year USA Cycling is managing more of the team registration process, similar to how we manage the registration of UCI road teams. The official deadline for registering, published by the UCI, is February 12, 2014.
Teams registering with the UCI receive the following benefits:
- Inclusion on the UCI Track Team Ranking
- Information services and publications in addition to regular distributions
- Direct entry services for major UCI events
- Preferred pricing, where negotiated, for accommodations and food at World Cup events
- Three copies of all rider licenses
A UCI track team is made up of a minimum of three riders and a maximum of 10. All riders must have a contract that includes the minimum information provided in the standard contract type provided. (Please pay attention to the model contract [Word doc]! We had several teams that struggled with this last year. All of the provisions of the model contract must be in your contracts.) The employer must also provide insurance for the riders. Note that this contract does mean that the rider receives at least minimum wage for a full-time job over 12 months. Thus, all rider contracts must address the financial compensation to the rider.
2. Roster Changes
Once the team is established and approved by the UCI, riders can be added to the roster, also subject to approval by USA Cycling and the UCI.
3. Key Dates for Team Registration
February 12, 2014 — Registration forms, signed by USA Cycling, rider contracts, and copy of the team jersey must be in the offices of the UCI. To expedite this, we will be submitting all the documents for you. Thus, what we need from you are the filled-in UCI registration form, originals of all rider contracts, and a picture of your jersey in the form of a JPG or PDF. We will sign all the documents and append the necessary stamps and forward to the UCI. Thus, the sooner you provide that to USA Cycling, the sooner we can get it out. Note that this deadline will be strictly enforced! USA Cycling will submit documents once the USA Cycling fees have been received.
March 25, 2014 — The UCI fees must be wired to their account (see wiring instructions included on this page).
4. Associated Fees for Registering a Team
For 2014-2015, the applicable fees are the following:
- Due to the UCI — 3,500 Euros. This must be wired into the UCI account using the information provided in the file by March 25, 2014.
- Due to USA Cycling — $250 prior to March 25, 2014

Experiments on Google+ and Twitter Influencing Search RankingsBlog Post: July 05, 2011
Cyrus and Rand, you inspired us to do a little experiment of our own at IPG. Call it a control for your Twitter test. I put a blog entry out on Friday optimized for SEO junk science (sorry for taking a bit of a swing at you) and it ranked #6 on Google by Monday for the broad search and #1 for the exact term with no social sharing at all. Just an entry in the XML sitemap on a site that Google already has indexed.
No doubt Twitter will help discovery faster, but I'll bet it's the links that actually caused the rank improvement and we all know links matter.
Keep up the great work!

be down on (someone or something)(redirected from be down on me)
be down on (someone or something)
To have or express negative or overly critical feelings toward someone or something. I don't know why you're so down on Robert, he's such a nice guy to everyone! Don't be so down on this vacation to your grandparents' farm. I know it's not very exotic, but we'll still have a great time!
*down on someone or something
against someone or something. (*Typically: be ~;get ~.) You've been down on us all lately. I'm down on computers lately. Everyone sure got down on fast food.
down on
Hostile or negative toward, ill-disposed to. For example, All the reviewers were down on this play, or Ever since he was injured, he's been down on skiing. [Mid-1800s] Also see down on one's luck.

Back again... just writing to get all the spinning thoughts in my head, out.
I'm caught in an awesome place right now. Where everything makes sense, and nothing makes sense. And I'm absolutely fine with that. There is definitely an element of danger; my whole current life is in a sense of peril. There's potential for a lot of heartbreak. There's incredible trust issues. There are some broken hearts in store. There is a lot of pain under the surface.
Most people would for sure be running right now, because most people don't like the unknown. I guess the keenness of emotion is a new thing for me. I hate emotions. Because my idea of strong is like a solid stone. When I was young, my step dad tortured my mom and I equally. I cried a lot. My mom never let on that anything bothered her; in fact, she would frown on me for crying. And the result was that my step dad left her alone after a while. He could see that my resolve was weak, and so I fell prey to him night after night, and he would leave my ravaged body shaking with emotions, and I called myself weak.
Now I enjoy making myself feel emotion. It helps me realize that I am indeed alive and growing more healthy by the minute.
I like to lose myself in school. My job is equivilant to an alternative life. I look forward to the 6 hours a day that I spend learning things that don't pertain to my civilian lifestyle at all. By the end of the school day, it's hard to re-adjust into my normal routine. I hope that feeling lasts. Because it's awesome that I'm getting paid to have this experience.
I'm realizing that my true friends are the ones who have stayed loyal even when I perform a 180 on my life. Robert and Emily have been my best friends for years. And I know they always will be. The other day I got three text messages in a row. One was actually a novel from a friend I care deeply about. She berated me on my life choices for about an hour. I sat and savored the feeling of every stab she landed, until it hurt too much to breathe, and then I cut her off as gently as I could and tried to forget.
The next text was from Emily, and it said, 'I love you. I would pay 200 to see you. I don't have 200, and that's what it would cost :('. While I thanked fate for giving me Emily, I recieved a text from Robert. He told me that he would come to see me as long as it was in his power to do so. And I forgot about my wounds and instantly my day was bright.
Even people who don't KNOW me try and run my life. I actually find that amusing. There are people I've met in the past 3 months who think they know me. Problem is, they don't realize I've chosen not to let them inside my boundaries. So they really don't know anything except what they see. I'm not that much of a fool, that I would open my heart for anyone. Otherwise I'd be stabbed a lot more. There have been a total of two people in Pensacola who I have let in. And they know who they are. Everyone else can say what they want and it mostly just annoys me, then slides off unaffected.
I love how my inside my head posts skip around and make little sense. That's me saying thoughts like I think them, and I definitely think them scattered. Speaking of that, the picture on my main menu on my phone is of two elephants humping. It's pretty epic. I'm so glad I'm not an elephant.
Two days ago in class, I had a pop tart sitting on it's wrapper on the desk. Colton looked at it longingly and said it smelled good. I was really hungry and rather irritable, and I considered ignoring him. But I can't, cause I'm nice... so I turned around and whispered, "Colton!" He scooted up next to me and leaned his head in so that we were both staring at the pop tart in close range. As he watched, I tried to slide the pop tart to his side of the desk. What I succeeded in doing instead was yanking the wrapper from underneath the pastry, so it landed, crumbled, in the dust. Morris gave me a betrayed look before trying to salvage the crumbs. I was so overwhelmed that I started laughing... and then crying. And then laughing. The whole class stopped to watch. I finally managed to stagger to the bathroom. Every two feet a soldier would ask if I was okay, and I would laugh, only to burst into tears. That was a rather legend reaction. The end.
And a really sad story... I'm about a week from the anniversary of my best friend's death. He died texting me, and I'll never forget him. I would give a whole freaking lot to get him back and go get pizza with him. I'd love to 'get high' on oreos with Mando again. Just saying... I miss him and I'll miss him forever. He taught me that when you love each other, you don't be careful. You throw caution to the wind and you hold on and don't let go. Because when they leave and you realize you can't ever touch them again, you're going to wish more than anything that you had. He didn't let time or space separate us, ever. He would call me daily, and tell me that I was his best friend and that he would do anything for me.
That's part of impulsive living. It's taking hold of the person your heart tells you to love, and not letting go. Of course it has to be double sided, or else it's harrassment. But when it's right, and you know it, and you push it away because you're afraid of being hurt, you're going to spend a whole lot of time being a whole lot of lonely. We only get one chance to experience all of the things you can experience in life. There are millions of people, and every one is going to give you a different relationship. If there's one that stands out and you don't want it to end, and you know they feel the same, then I guess it's best to pursue it at all costs and let your senses enjoy every minute until it's over. Cause it might last a year, or it might last your whole life, but that's not what's important. You won't regret following your heart. Ever. Even if it ends in pain, it will have been worth it.
And really bad eggs.

Inside My Head, Installment # 18
Back again... just writing to get all the spinning thoughts in my head, out.
Posted by Angel Renee at 10:41 AM 1 comments Links to this post
Ten Thousand Circus Clowns
The show is about to begin. You paint that creepy smile back onto your face
Step out of the dressing room. Take a deep breath
And face the music.
This circus you call life? It's about to suffocate you once again. So you wear a mask
You've done this before. Every day, in fact.
Since you were young.
As soon as the popcorn/peanuts stench fills your nostrils, you wince
There's a crowd, all right. We have a packed audience tonight
Waiting to see you fail.
At least you're the main source of entertainment for thousands of people
You climb into your little clown car, start the engine
Race into the ring.
They won't applaud until you meet some misfortune. That's the name of the game
They stare greedily, hoping for an incident to arise. Then suddenly
Their waiting pays off.
You must please the masses, and you do. Because you were born to please
The crowd is on their feet. Your life is their circus experience
And you just performed.
As the ringmaster plays the band music, you slip softly away. Wipe off the paint
Step out of those ridiculous shoes, and stealthily, leaving the crowds,
You sneak out to me.
Cause even performers have dreams.

Evenings With Morris
Yup. I know it's cliche. That's why I'm not writing a book. But for a blog, that sounds like a pretty good series.
I spend a lot of time with a lot of people. Aaron of course, and my shipmates from boot camp. But lately, Corry High has caught up to me, and I can't stand drama. Therefore, my idea of a good time is a laid back, relaxed person who isn't being shot at from all angles. And that's why I am glad I met Morris.
Morris is a Sailor. He's also a Scorpio. He's my permanent liberty buddy. And he is one of the coolest cats I've met here. Every weeknight, he and I race out of the schoolhouse and straight off base. We find food, and then find a filler for the rest of the night. Sometimes we watch movies. Sometimes we explore the beaches. Sometimes we just drive and sing at the top of our lungs. Almost always, we talk. And I'm going to start making posts about those talks.
Sometimes, we talk about religion. We've both been burned, so it's a mutual topic for us. Mostly, my belief is that I'm the only person who can decide what's right for me, and same goes for everyone. Therefore, I will support anyone who I truly believe is making what they believe is the best choice for their lives. And I would appreciate the same acceptance. No one has the right to judge another if their intentions are honest. So we have some good discussions about that.
Another topic that comes up is relationships. It's no secret that Aaron and I are struggling. He's on his way to the Navy, and I'm so engulfed in school, plus I can't go off base alone. Morris has some very interesting perspectives on relationships, so we can talk for a limited time about love and life. If being emotionally damaged can have a good point, it's that both of us can be open with the other, knowing that we aren't in danger of being hit on or flirted with. We're really good friends, and neither of us is going to compromise that.
I like when we talk about philosophy. A standard by which we live our lives. He is a lover of truth, and I always know I can get his true opinion. We're just a couple of young people starting off in our careers and looking forward to a great future. Life holds a lot of hope and adventure for us. And we like to talk about it.
But more about our talks and adventures later. For now, this introduction is pictureless, because I don't take a lot of photos anymore. But I'm going to go find him right now and get one. Then I will post it and let the fun begin!

A Few Things I Know
The rain in Florida is sporadic and breathtaking.
I love running in the pouring rain to get food.
Navy food, while better than most branches, is only slightly better than college cafeteria food.
It's hard to eat food and sing along to music at the same time.
If I hear Taylor Swift sing again, I'll pull out my hair. With my teeth.
Taylor Swift is too country for someone who lives on the beach.
The beach at night is far, far better than a day in the sun.
At night, the sky is as freckled as a ginger and I love it.
Redheads get a lot of attention. Both positive and negative.
One negative about the Navy is that you have to say goodbye a lot.
Goodbye always hurts, sometimes a whole lot worse than others.
One way of getting over a hurt is to write it out.
Writing is my own personal form of relieving my mind from the worries I carry.
I worry about the choices I'm making every day.
I chose the Navy. For a better present and future. I'm trusting myself on this one.
I'm the one person who has never let me down.
Taylor Swift is singing again.
I can't pull 2-inch hair out of my head with my teeth.

To Andrew
Dear little brother,
You made it to thirteen! Congratulations!
Now you get to be a teenager. This is hard to believe, because I never got called that while I was one. Dad hated that word. "Kids turn into adults", he said, "Teenagers are weird in-between creatures who cause trouble and don't grow up." You know what? I'm glad you don't have to grow up yet. Be a teenager. Have your time of wild. It's pretty fun!
I'm a long ways away, but don't think you're forgotten. Every day I remember something about you. Like the time you screamed for me, and when mom handed you over, you threw up in my face. Thanks a lot, bro. Or when you were six, and I lamented your growing up. "One day, you're going to think that you're too old to kiss me!" I mourned. Your expression was serious as you insisted you would NEVER not want to kiss me. You are the most loving of all my siblings.
Remember when I taught you how to read? You had to do that big fat book of How To Read in 100 Easy Lessons. It was a dumb book. About ants and a boy in a hut. But you got through it so fast, and it was easy to see you were an avid reader. You proved it when you went to school. My twin in so many ways.
Like me, you have a dark side that comes out in your writing. I love to read everything you write. When you wrote your first love letter, I thought that any girl would be really lucky to have you. You're a sensitive romantic. And not the nerdy kind, because you are handsome and athletic, and you know how to use words in a way that charms anyone you meet.
You have such a great opportunity at life. Being the child of a broken home is the best thing that could have happened to you. Now you get to live the life I wanted. Live it fully. I love you more than anyone in the world, and hopefully in a few months I'll see you. Happy birthday late.

Artistic Expression
We're what?
We're walking on the pier
I'm counting all the fish below us
and not sure what you're doing
But it's fun.
Somewhere we aren't missed
And that's just fine
These fish need to be counted.
Maybe you don't fake it
And you don't think before you speak.
You're the one I was warned about
And I know why.
Cause you aren't like me at all
You don't have the qualities I go for
It gives me something new to write about.
So I'll take off my shoes
Lay next to you on the dock
Talk about how our friends are
And we're not.
Somehow, it all makes sense
Even though it doesn't really
But that's the perfect recipe for artistic expression.

I Kept It Real
Out of boot camp was born a new resolve: Live in the moment.
A retired Air Force officer gave me this most valuable advice a few months ago. "Don't live for yesterday, because you've been given a chance at a new life. Don't live for tomorrow, because you're going to wake up one day and notice that your whole life was lived for a future that is suddenly short and you don't know how to enjoy it. Just live for now, and make sure you're in love with every moment."
Didn't realize how hard that would be for me! The controlling part of my nature bucks the idea of just going with the flow. The sensitive side keeps telling me I need to show my family I'm not a loser. Between those two I often get caught up in the past or the future.
But the other night, my shipmate Colton and I took a long drive to Perdito Key in Alabama. We went to the public beach and began to look for seashells. We found some really cool ones. We talked about relationships, and being in the Navy, and about how much we have changed since boot camp. We got back in my car and sang all our favorite songs at the top of our lungs. And every time I looked out at the ocean and took a breath, I took in all the smells and the stars and I realized that I was living in the moment. And I was loving it.
This is the summer I'm discovering myself. I found out that I'm more adventurous than I suspected. I actually enjoy pushing my comfort zone. For instance, I like swimming in the ocean even though it terrifies me every time. I'm capable of being more dangerous than I thought I could. I'm willing to take a dangerous risk because to me, life is about living fully. My best decisions have been rather impulsive. I learned that I don't have to make everyone happy, and sometimes it's healthy to access a relationship and say, 'fuck it! It's not worth it'.
It's a good time to live in the moment. I'm young, I'm not mothering a child, and I'm making good money. I'm decently independant. I'm not sure where my next command will be. Hooyah for keeping it real!

***Updated July 6th***
A highly distressing new report from Friends of the Earth Europe: 'Weed killer found in human urine across Europe'. If you live in the UK there's a 70% chance that you have Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's herbicide, Roundup, in your body. What's it doing to you while it's in there? How long does it stay? How can you get rid of it or at least build up a personal resistance as the superweeds have done? Answers to these questions are not available because of the usual industry-sponsored silence.
I definitely have it in me because we carry it around in the back of our work van all week (garden maintenance). I've refused to use it personally but my coworkers aren't so scrupulous. I've worked on a Roundup-sprayed driveway at least once, suffering mild headaches, dulled awareness and difficulty engaging with the outside world for a number of hours afterward. (I figure I'm basically a plant person now so it's bound to affect me more than the average post-industrial human being…) One of my colleagues has developed the recent worrying tendency of suggesting we reach for the weed-killer when this proves more economical for our time than weeding by hand, although the cost of the chemical – in more ways than one – gets passed on to the client. They responded to news of this recent report with tangential comments about the safety of drinking water, ignoring the threat sitting right there, a few feet away. I really don't want to be around when they commit these atrocities, if I can't first persuade them to not do it. My boss, who has previously worked with Monsanto and accepts their safety claims at face value, is broadly sympathetic to my decision (he doesn't spray it on his own garden, possibly in part because of the concerns I've expressed) but insists that the herbicide has a place in the service we provide, again for economic reasons when it's cheaper to do the requested work that way, eg: clearing weeds [sic] off driveways, patios etc.
Anyway I recommend reading through some of the different pdf sections via the above link to educate yourself a little about this chemical and the corporations pushing it on you. It's not just direct contact you have to worry about. As they say, 'All volunteers who gave samples live in cities, and none had handled or used glyphosate products in the run up to the tests' and:
Once applied, glyphosate and its break down products are transported throughout the plant into the leaves, grains or fruit [5]. They cannot be removed by washing, and they are not broken down by cooking [6]. Glyphosate residues can remain stable in foods for a year or more, even if the foods are frozen, dried or processed [7]. ('Human contamination by glyphosate' – pdf)
Even if you've found a way to avoid ingesting GM foods you're probably not safe thanks to an insane practice used by farmers called 'dessication':
glyphosate-containing herbicides may be sprayed just before harvest onto non-GM cereals, pulses, sunflowers and oilseed crops. This is done to remove weeds and dry out the grains (ibid.)
ie: to kill the plant and pump it full of poison just before it gets isolated from the environment and passed on for consumption by humans. Genius.
But it's not all about us of course. I found the 'environmental impacts of glyphosate' (pdf) to be the most harrowing read. Turns out that, contrary to Monsanto's lies*, glyphosate does not biodegrade, stay where you put it, cause no harm to mammals, birds, fish, pets, children, gardeners… In fact it fucks up the lives, lifecycles, hormones, body development and ecological feeder relationships of birds, butterflies, frogs, fish, mussels, invertebrate insects, ocean- and river-dwelling microfauna, and, of course, plants – 'undesirable' or otherwise. Anything it touches, basically. Read this and weep, made especially compelling after the recent news that 60% of species in the UK are in decline:
Common weeds can be important food sources for insect, bird and animal species in agricultural areas. Weeds provide food and nectar sources for insects, which in turn feed birds. Weed seeds can also be vital winter foods for many declining bird species, such as corn bunting and skylarkxxxi. Farm Scale Evaluations (FSE) of GM crops in the UK between 1999 and 2003, examined the number of weeds and their seed production in non-GM intensively-managed sugar beet fields, compared with those in GM glyphosate resistant sugar beet cropsxxxii. The results showed a significant loss of weeds and weed seeds in the GM glyphosate resistant sugar beet, compared to the conventional crop. The UK government's scientific advisory committee spelled out the significance of the results, stating that 'if [GM glyphosate resistant] beet were to be grown and managed as in the FSEs this would result in adverse effects on arable weed populations [which] would be likely to result in adverse effects on organisms at higher trophic levels (e.g. farmland birds), compared with conventionally managed beet.'xxxiii
A follow-up modelling project concluded that the effects of GM glyphosate resistant crops could affect different species, depending on their feeding and life cycle requirements. The authors noted that, in the results of their model, "Skylarks showed very little response to the introduction of GMHT rape. By contrast, the consequences of introducing GMHT sugar beet were extremely severe, with a rapid decline, and extinction of the skylark within 20 years. This contrasts with the cirl [sic] bunting, which showed little response to the introduction of GMHT beet, but severe consequences arose as a result of the use of GMHT rape"xxxiv.
Join the dots, people.
I think I'm going to start wearing a black armband with the extinction symbol on it:
Otherwise, I believe the roots of dock, dandelion and burdock are the place to go to get support for an overloaded liver and kidneys. But I consider it insufficient to merely adapt to the new toxic status quo in this way. What I'd like to see is the toxic behaviour of Monsanto et al cut off at the source so the planet no longer has to deal with the cascading negative effects of their appalling chemical weapons in the first place. Here's a petition for starters, but I don't think it'll be enough on its own.
Oh, and this is what happens after long-term exposure to Roundup and/or Roundup-Ready GM crops (industry regulations only required a 90-day trial):
'One of the rats fed GM maize NK603 for two years. The animal has developed an abdominal cancer tumour. Photograph: Tous des cobayes/J+B Sequences' – source
In a peer-reviewed US journal, Food and Chemical Toxicology, [Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini, professor of molecular biology at Caen university in France] reported the results of a €3.2m study. Fed a diet of Monsanto's Roundup-tolerant GM maize NK603 for two years, or exposed to Roundup over the same period, rats developed higher levels of cancers and died earlier than controls. Séralini suggested that the results could be explained by the endocrine-disrupting effects of Roundup, and overexpression of the transgene in the GMO.
Less toxic than table salt my arse.
* – A brief reminder of the claims made in adverts which a New York attorney forced Monsanto to pull back in 1996 – exhibits A through J:
a) Remember that environmentally friendly Roundup herbicide is biodegradable. It won't build up in the soil so you can use Roundup with confidence along customers' driveways, sidewalks and fences …
b) And remember that Roundup is biodegradable and won't build up in the soil. That will give you the environmental confidence you need to use Roundup everywhere you've got a weed, brush, edging or trimming problem.
c) Roundup — biodegrades into naturally occurring elements.
d) Remember that versatile Roundup herbicide stays where you put it. That means there's no washing or leaching to harm customers' shrubs or other desirable vegetation.
e) This non-residual herbicide will not wash or leach in the soil. It … stays where you apply it.
f) You can apply Accord with … confidence because it will stay where you put it … it bonds tightly to soil particles, preventing leaching. Then, soon after application, soil microorganisms biodegrade Accord into natural products.
g) Glyphosate is less toxic to rats than table salt following acute oral ingestion.
h) Glyphosate's safety margin is much greater than required. It has over a 1,000-fold safety margin in food and over a 700-fold safety margin for workers who manufacture it or use it.
i) You can feel good about using herbicides by Monsanto. They carry a toxicity category rating of 'practically non-toxic' as it pertains to mammals, birds and fish.
j) "Roundup can be used where kids and pets'll play and breaks down into natural material." This ad depicts a person with his head in the ground and a pet dog standing in an area which has been treated with Roundup. (link)
I portrayed my boss too generously. Weedkiller came up in conversation between us during a lunch break and I mentioned this report and its main findings. At first he wanted to know, reasonably enough, what concentration of glyphosate the research found in peoples' urine. I didn't know at the time but went away and looked into it (results below) and may pass on my findings at some point. But after a short spell of silence I was treated to a barrage of denial, justification and misdirection. Highlights included ignorant smears against FoE (a leftist conspiracy against Monsanto: "They're like a dog with a bone", "They're anti-business", "They hate success"), evidence-free assertions that glyphosate isn't as bad as some of the other chemicals out there ("I'm sure there are much worse things on my driveway", "What about all the petrol fumes and machine oils?"), strong implications that there's nothing you can do about it and you just have to accept & cope with it as best you can, blaming consumers for demanding cheap food with disregard for the consequences (an old disagreement – I think the manufacturing processes call the tune and people adjust their habits accordingly, largely because they have no choice. If it's all demand driven why the need for so much advertising?) and reiterating the supposed economic imperative of the company needing to use Roundup because "If we don't someone else will – they will get the work and we will lose out".
I couldn't think of any way to respond productively to all this, so I did my usual bit of listening while The Man With Experience lays out The Story of How Things Are, while making a conscious effort to keep it at arms length and not internalise it all automatically, reserving my own conclusions for a later date. For now, apart from having the usual Upton Sinclair quote ringing in my ears ('It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it') I'm thinking this 'If not me someone else – but worse' is a bullshit excuse that has probably been used by every tyrant and holocaust-facilitator in history. But what's the truly responsible course of action? Personal boycotts might be morally satisfying but they don't really have an effect on the system as a whole unless coordinated and specifically targeted (so why not conspire against Monsanto 😀 ). Otherwise I think it's broadly true that you just take yourself out of the competition, leaving another to take what would have been your share. You may not consider it to be worth taking in the first place, but that's irrelevant if your concern lies with how things play out in the bigger picture. My unscrupulous colleague has more earning potential than me by not 'turning down work' in this way. One day this may be the crucial difference between us if the boss decides to lay one of us off. Whatever happens those driveways will continue to get sprayed in the meantime…
Maybe the answer lies in talking to the clients and wider public, ensuring this information gets out to them and perhaps persuading them to change their habits. Comparing the garden sheds of older and younger generations offers some hope – you often find a massive cocktail of lethal, long-expired chemicals in older sheds and much less in the younger ones, indicating a growing distrust of these industrial poisons and a greater inclination towards organic principles. But then, if this process of change is in reality driven by manufacturing practices and mass PR indoctrination rather than consumer demand, appeals to reason and emotion might not cut it. Answers on a postcard as usual!
Here's the stuff on urine concentration:
Having checked out the original paper, I see that, of the ten samples from the UK, seven had a level of glyphosate higher than 0.15μg per litre of urine (the 'Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)' below which the chemical is apparently considered to not be present) – hence the 70% detection rate, which could actually be 100% as far as I can make out. The mean average is 0.47μg/L, second only to Malta at 0.82μg/L, with the lowest averages coming from Switzerland, Macedonia and Hungaria at 0.09μg/L. There were two UK results over 1μg/L with the highest coming in at 1.64μg/L, second only to the unfortunate individual from Latvia with 1.82μg/L (see table 4 on p.12). The paper gives a 'reference value' of 0.8μg/L but I don't understand what this is meant to indicate and can't make head or tail of their explanation:
The reference values for Glyphosate and AMPA are only tentative. They were derived from an urban collective (n=90) and are defined as the 95. percentile of the measured values. They were established by Medical Laboratory Bremen in 2012 during the process of the method validation. Strictly speaking they are only valid to the region of Bremen.
Any enlightening comments from someone from a more scientific background much appreciated! It doesn't seem like regulators have decided on a 'safe' level of glyphosate in human urine. The main focus (and controversy) revolves around something Orwellian called 'Acceptable Daily Intake' relative to the total body weight rather than the fluid content of urine. In the EU this has been set at 0.3 mg per kg of body weight (mg = 1000x greater than μg) but there is a stink about the way in which they arrived at this figure – from the FoE report, 'Concerns about glyphosate's approval' (pdf):
One of the core purposes of pesticide safety assessment is to set the 'acceptable daily intake' (ADI) for people's everyday exposure to the chemical, for example through residues in food. In its 1999 evaluation of glyphosate, the German authorities proposed a high ADI for glyphosate of 0.3 mg per kilogram of body weight. They calculated this figure by reviewing the industry feeding trials using glyphosate and choosing the one they felt to be most sensitive to the effects of the chemical. In this case, the German authorities considered the most sensitive test to be a rat feeding trial. From this they calculated the 'no observed adverse effect level' (NOAEL). The ADI was then set at 100 times lower than this [10]. This ADI of 0.3 mg/kg was agreed by the European Commission, and is now law. But even four of the companies applying for approval of glyphosate differed in their interpretations of the industry feeding trials – based on the same studies; they suggested the ADI should be lower, ranging from 0.05mg/kg to 0.15 mg/kg [11].
In 2012, the ADI for glyphosate was re-examined by a group of scientists (including four professors) from universities in the UK and Brazil [12]. When they looked at the industry-funded feeding trials assessed by the German authorities, they noted some studies showed adverse effects at lower doses than in the rat feeding trial, but these findings had been ruled out for various reasons. They claim this led to "significant bias" in the data used. They commented that, if all the industry-funded studies had been included, a "more objectively accurate" ADI would be 0.1 mg/kg bodyweight per day. The group then examined the findings of independent trials of glyphosate published in scientific journals since 2002. Based on these, they concluded the ADI should correctly be 0.025mg/kg bodyweight per day, or "12 times lower than the ADI… currently in force in the EU".
The ADI for glyphosate is not monitored.
I don't know how the concentration of glyphosate in urine would relate to the concentration coming in the other end. What seems obvious is that the approach of finding an 'acceptable' level of any poisonous substance favours the industry manufacturing that substance at the expense of those humans and nonhumans who get lumbered with the job of storing it in their bodies. ADI? Try UDI!

So aside from coffee, does anybody else here home brew?
Been wanting to get into it for years and finally made my first brew a couple of months ago. It was a simple IPA recipe from a kit - so pretty bullet proof.
My next batch is brewing as I speak. It is an american IP with extra Cascade Hops added to the extract and also made with an amber liquid malt.
I will be dry hopping with Cascade, Zythos and Pacifica hops in a weeks time.
Estimated ABV 8%.
The next one is going to be a mid strength ale made with a cold brewed single origin Yirgacheffe.
Any other brewers out there????

Planning on finally doing some precured topsheets with printed grapgics and stop the painting madness, but my resin system is not UV proof. and most printed graphics are UV unstable and prone to fast fades in the sun.
What Im trying to do is stopping the printed graphics from fading, my resin doesnt really yellow badly or much at all that I can tell, but the graphics I have used (printed cotton) and seen (digital print on rice paper) fades
I could purchase UV proof resins epoxy or possibly polyester for use in the pre cured topsheet or final spray coat with a UV proof clear coat, or is there a additive to be used to put into any resin system for UV protection?. Anyone got suggestions for either route and brands of preference?

We used to think Hammacher-Schlemmer was a peculiar sort of retailer, somewhat similar to SkyMall… How wrong we were. They're selling a $190,000 Flying Hovercraft. Now, let's pause for a second on its name. We take a small issue with it being a flying hovercraft. If it's flying, it's not hovering, but whatever. This particular vehicle has a 130HP twin cylinder liquid-cooled gasoline engine — turbocharged and fuel-injected — that can propel it to 70mph. It's able to rise up to 20 feet off the ground, allowing it to access places regular hovercrafts just can't get to. "Its low center of gravity and composite fiberglass/PVC hull enable it to operate in winds up to 25 mph and waves up to 6′ when in flight. Two nine-gallon gasoline tanks provide a 160-mile range."
It's a nice piece of kit. We imagine you might need a pilot license, though we can't be sure. And it needs to be registered as a boat.

- Schwerionenkollisionen (1) (remove)
- Kaon and pion production in centrality selected minimum bias Pb+Pb collisions at 40 and 158A GeV (2009)
- Results on charged kaon and negatively charged pion production and spectra for centrality selected Pb+Pb mininimum bias events at 40 and 158A GeV have been presented in this thesis. All analysis are based on data taken by the NA49 experiment at the accelerator Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. The kaon results are based on an analysis of the mean energy loss <dE/dx> of the charged particles traversing the detector gas of the time projection chambers (TPCs). The pion results are from an analysis of all negatively charged particles h- corrected for contributions from particle decays and secondary interactions. For the dE/dx analysis of charged kaons, main TPC tracks with a total momentum between 4 and 50 GeV have been analyzed in logarithmic momentum log(p) and transverse momentum pt bins. The resulting dE/dx spectra have been fitted by the sum of 5 Gaussians, one for each main particle type (electrons, pions, kaons, protons, deuterons). The amplitude of the Gaussian used for the kaon part of the spectra has been corrected for efficiency and acceptance and the binning has been transformed to rapidity y and transverse momentum pt bins. The multiplicity dN/dy of the single rapidity bins has been derived by summing the measured range of the transverse momentum spectra and an extrapolation to full coverage with a single exponential function fitted to the measured range. The results have been combined with the mid-rapidity measurements from the time-of-flight detectors and a double Gaussian fit to the dN/dy spectra has been used for extrapolation to rapidity outside of the acceptance of the dE/dx analysis. For the h- analysis of negatively charged pions, all negatively charged tracks have been analyzed. The background from secondary reactions, particle decays, and gamma-conversions has been corrected with the VENUS event generator. The results were also corrected for efficiency and acceptance and the pt spectra were analyzed and extrapolated where necessary to derive the mean yield per rapidity bin dN/dy. The mean multiplicity <pi-> has been derived by summing up the measured dN/dy and extrapolating the rapidity spectrum with a double Gaussian fit to 4pi coverage. The results have been discussed in detail and compared to various model calculations. Microscopical models like URQMD and HSD do not describe the full complexity of Pb+Pb collisions. Especially the production of the positively charged kaons, which carry the major part of strange quarks, cannot be consistently reproduced by the model calculations. Centrality selected minimum bias Pb+Pb collisions can be described as a mixture of a high-density region of multiply colliding nucleons (core) and practically independent nucleon-nucleon collisions (corona). This leads to a smooth evolution from peripheral to central collisions. A more detailed approach derives the ensemble volume from a percolation of elementary clusters. In the percolation model all clusters are formed from coalescing strings that are assumed to decay statistically with the volume dependence of canonical strangeness suppression. The percolation model describes the measured data for top SPS and RHIC energies. At 40A GeV, the system size dependence of the relative strangeness production starts to evolve from the saturation seen at higher energies from peripheral events onwards towards a linear dependence at SIS and AGS. This change of the dependence on system size occurs in the energy region of the observed maximum of the K+ to pi ratio for central Pb+Pb collisions. Future measurements with heavy ion beam energies around this maximum at RHIC and FAIR as well as the upgraded NA49 successor experiment NA61 will further improve our understanding of quark matter and its reflection in modern heavy ion physics and theories.

Freecell Solver version 3.14.0, shortly followed by Freecell Solver 3.14.1, which fixed a build problem on Microsoft Windows, have been released. Freecell Solver 3.14.1 is available in the form of a source archive, and a Win32 self-installing executable, from the download page. Freecell Solver is an open source framework (library and some command line applications), for automatically solving several variants of card Solitaire / Patience games, including Freecell.
This release features several new features: we added a 6th Best-First-Search weight of the inverse of the number of cards not above parents, which has proven useful. We now also allow test groups inside the --tests-order and --depth-tests-order with the random-dfs scan to be ordered using the function =asw(…) based on those BeFS weights.
As a result, the preset -l amateur-star or -l as for short has been added, that uses that and is our fastest preset yet. Another new preset is -l micro-finance (or -l mf for short), which yields especially short solutions.
There are also some not-as-major features: input boards can now contain a leading colon (":") at the beginning of the line of columns, so they can be copy-and-pasted directly from the output of fc-solve with the -p flag. The dbm_fc_solver and depth_dbm_fc_solver now store the positions more compactly (which aided in researching two-freecell deals), and the core libfreecell-solver code was made more 64-bit enabled and many of the limits were converted to 64-bit friendly ones.
A final note: we have dropped support for building Freecell Solver with Microsoft Visual C++ and other non-GCC compatible compilers, which do not support the newer C standards, and other useful features of GCC. Building Freecell Solver with GCC, clang and other compatible compilers will be continued to be supported on Microsoft Windows as well as on Linux and other UNIX-like systems.
More information about all these can be found in the distributed documents of Freecell Solver.

By Christopher Sabatini, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Christopher Sabatini is editor-in-chief of the policy journal Americas Quarterly. The views expressed are his own.
For a brief moment last week, a few started to believe the impossible: that after 14 years, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez would lose an election to a unified opposition led by a young, energetic former governor, Henrique Capriles Radonski. But when the results were announced on Sunday night, Chávez had won, again.
This time, though, the victory was more about Chávez as a personal figure than his self-named Bolivarian Revolution over a fractured, discredited (and smeared) opposition. For the first time, the Venezuelan opposition made the election a referendum on Chávez's record, rather than – as it had too often in the past – on his personality. With a record as governor of Miranda state and as a fresh face, the 40-year-old Capriles separated himself from the shadow of the corruption and mismanagement that preceded Chávez, instead focusing on the dismal record of the Bolivarian Revolution.
And there is a lot to focus on: in the last 14 years, Caracas – with a murder rate of about 67 per 100,000 residents – has become one of the most violent cities in the world; profligate public spending has led to an inflation rate that topped 27 percent last year (again one of the highest in the world), and reliance on oil and the capricious expropriation of business has led to one of the lowest rates of economic growth in the region, registering a flaccid 4.2 percent last year compared to 6 percent for Chile and 6.9 for Peru.
The strategy earned the opposition its strongest performance since Chávez was first elected in 1998, with 14 years of difficulties managing Venezuela's problems and exorbitant promises reducing Chávez's vote share to just over 10 percent, with Capriles – when the final votes were tallied – scoring 44 percent of the vote compared with Chávez's 55 percent.
According to interviews and surveys, many of the poor that have remained Chávez's base maintain a personalistic connection to the Afro/Indigenous descendant leader as a man who speaks their language and defends their interests. Less clear, though, is how many of them actually identify with Chávez's broader project of creating a 21st Century Socialism. International surveys like those conducted by Pew have shown that despite President Chavez's fiery anti-American and anti-capitalist rhetoric, the majority of Venezuelan citizens are pro-market and U.S. friendly (72 percent support a free market economy and 56 percent have favorable impressions of the U.S. according to the 2007 Pew surveys).
Just as important for Sunday's results has been the evolution of the opposition. Since 1999, the opposition has consistently shot itself in the foot, in a series of self-inflicted political wounds. Among them have been: an April 2002 coup attempt (and the return of Chávez after the interim president unwisely attempted to dissolve the constitution); a December 2002 general strike intended to force Chávez out of office (instead he fired striker oil workers); a refusal to accept the election results of a 2004 referendum on President Chavez's mandate; and a miscalculated decision to not participate in the 2005 legislative elections. Throughout, the opposition underestimated Chávez and handed him numerous victories and a carte blanche to consolidate his power.
Opinion: Chavez clown prince of a decaying society
This time, though, in February 2012 a broad coalition of opposition groups held a free, democratic primary in which 3 million voters participated, selecting Capriles. And that unity has held even after the opposition's defeat. For now, the opposition has hewed close to the consensus candidate, whose concession remarks have shown a remarkable level of moderation and a long-term view. Despite fears of post-election violence, Venezuela has been quiet – something due in no small measure to the restraint and commitment of Capriles and the opposition to the democratic process and securing the gains of Sunday.
The ultimate question will be what both sides will do in the next month and over President Chavez's new six-year term that will start in January 2013. For Chávez, the question will be whether he ramps up his Bolivarian Revolution or recognizes that he is now governing a country split largely down the middle – just over 50 percent with him and just under that against him. For most political leaders, that result would be a sign of the need to reach across the aisle and moderate political goals. But this is a former military officer and coup leader who when he has won in the past has engaged in a flurry of nationalizations and policies to consolidate power. And if his campaign platform – which calls for a greater role for the military and the formation of popular communes and assemblies stretching from the executive down to communities – is any indication, he has a pretty ambitious plan for consolidating his revolution this term.
The opposition this time appears to be playing the long-game. Certainly, Capriles's post- election call for patience and for his supporters to stay the course speaks to a new level of maturity of a fractious opposition movement. The question is whether – given their differences – they are willing to stick with him.
They have three good reasons to do so, however. First among them are the results he delivered on Sunday: 6.4 million voters, 1.5 more than opposition candidates for president in the past. Second is the upcoming December state and local elections. The failings of the Bolivarian Revolution are most felt at the local level, and it is there that the popularity of Chávez's project – without the former lieutenant colonel on the ballot – will be tested. The voting represents a real opportunity to make genuine inroads in the state to practically demonstrate the difference between Chávez's inchoate political project and the opposition's claims that it can govern more effectively.
Last is Chávez's uncertain health. In the past year, Chávez has undergone two separate surgeries and treatment in Cuba for an undisclosed cancer. According to Article 233 of the 1999 Bolivarian Constitution, should a president fail to complete the first four years of his or her term, new elections must be held immediately. Until now – as is often the case with charismatic leaders – Chávez has failed to groom a successor who has the same popular appeal and authority. If the president should be unable to fulfill his term before 2016, it will be a mad scramble among the parties and movements that make up his Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (PSUV) to find an electable replacement. In contrast, the opposition already has one. President Chávez may have won Sunday's elections; it's unclear though if Chavismo without Chávez could do the same.
Poor Christopher Sabatini, I guess that he's quite upset since the Venezuelan elections didn't go his way. He has lots of company in Washington D.C. in that regard. I myself, on the other hand, am well pleased that Hugo Chavez won. He is a very good man.
Your post here is the most sensible one yet, Quigley. Thank you. The other two below are only displaying their ignorance as one can plainly see! Viva Chavez!
Seriously? So your definition of a "good man" refers to dictators who jail critics and sings while the country's poverty worsens by the minute? Wouldn't want to know how you define a "bad" man then.
I have to say that having lived in Venezuela for 6 years from 2002 to 2007, I am rather an authority on what it is like to live under the Chavez regime! Bloody aweful!! Venezuela under his governance is starting to look like Zimbabwe!! No food, no electricity, no freedom! Everyone is afraid there. Afraid to vote against Chavez or to show they don't support him – they get branded!! I have a Venezuelan son in law and a Venezuelan grand daughter and also family there. A socialist/communist state doesn't work full stop!! Never has and never will!! Why don't people learn from the past? Henry and co. you have NO IDEA!
The ignorance is from you, Quigley, and Henry. You two criticize others but I bet if we made a pros and cons list of Chavez's presidency, he would not come out looking good. Chavez is a cult figure to many Venezuelans and that is something that is difficult to defeat in an election. That, and that alone, is the reason he won. Every poll taken said PSUV would lose an election if Chavez was not the leader. For some unfathomable reason, Venezuelans do not blame Chavez for the sorry and deteriorating state of the country. If the opposition had won, they would have inherited a country with crumbling infrastructure, constant power outrages, food shortages, a housing shortage, high corruption, high inflation, the 4th highest murder rate in the world, the highest kidnapping rate, a high and ever rising dependence on imports, a debt rising so fast that the country might actually default if things continue. Care to dispute any of what I just said?
You make it sound as though a foreign globalist corporate puppet, who would have almost certainly sold out his own countrymen by selling their most valuable natural resource (oil rights) to the same multinational corporations who funded his election (although covertly through NGO's), would be somehow better equiped to deal with infrastructure and poverty issues facing Venezuela. See how unbridled corporate hegemony has worked out for the wealth-povery gap in the good old US of A. Oh yea, and we have crumbling schools, bridges, and highways here in the US too, the epitome of capitalism run wild. With less corporate regulation came the financial crisis, and now we have now record numbers of Americans needing food stamps. I don't buy your argument in the slightest.
Hey GJ, go back to your stupid Marx and Lenin books and stop blathering nonsense.
are you sure you are not talking about the USA? LOL.
Abajo Chavez.
Hugo Chavez is a piece of corrupt crap who has spent the last 14 years ruining Venezuela. I know. My family is Venezuelan. He has stolen billions from the Venezuelan people, stolen their businesses and homes, and corrupted not only the government but much of what used to be productive industry. If you actually think this "election" wasn't a fraud, you are a fool. The votes were COUNTED BY CHAVISTAS, IN SECRET. It was communicated to Capriles before the election that he had better "accept the results or blood would flow"...Chavez knew in advance that the results would be rigged. The only hope that country has now to be free and Democratic is if somebody there has the guts to shoot this fat pig.
capnmike, you clearly are not happy with the results of the election (I am not either), but I have to say that what you wrote is not true. All parties had witnesses when the votes were counted so there was no possibility of a fraud. In my opinion, Mr. Capriles' position accepting the result of the election shows that he believes in democracy. It would not be smart for the opposition to ignore that there is a lot of poverty in Venezuela and that most poor people support Mr. Chavez.
You sound like another brainless, foul speaking, war loving Tea Partier, capnmike. Can you prove that the election in Venezuela was rigged? Of course not, since it never happened in the first place. Are you trying to be the Josef Goebbels of this website? It sure appears that way!
You and Henry, may like communism but do you live in communist country like Cuba or Venezuela? No, you do not. so STFU.
Is this really Sean Penn or danny Glover? It doesn't matter, you're all socialists
Wonderful. Chavez has built a indisputable regime based on government dependency. Through these dependent voters, Chavez has in effect, established dictatorship. Who were Chavez's best friends again? Bashar Al-Assad, Fidel Castro, Muammar Gadafi, Putin, Ahmadinejad etc. Maybe they should form an alliance of dictators.
Gee whiz Ferhat, judging by you comment one would think that you're another Chavez hating Tea Partier. Of course a lot of ignoramuses here are upset over Chavez's winning the election but that's because he doesn't carry out orders from Washington D.C. which is a very good thing. Besides, it proves that he's not corrupt like most current European leaders!
Marine5484: It is unfathomable to me that anyone who has done any reading at all about communism and marxism can possibly defend such a complete failure of a philosophy! You are probably one of those who is really angry because some people under capitalism become obscenely wealthy. Yet, you fail to realize that in every communist society that has ever existed, it' s the exact same thing – a few people control enormous wealth. Except that in the communictic society it's the party leaders who become obscenely wealthy – and at the expense of the poor people. And in every communist society that has ever existed, the VAST MAJORITY of people are poor as church mice! Contrast that to a free society like the wonderful one we had in America before the socialists took over, and you will readily recognize (if you're at all capable of being truthful with yourself after years of deluding yourself about the "wonderfulness" of communism and socialism) that the general well-being in a free society is vastly greater than anything any communist society has ever produced. In the case of the USSR and China (and probably in Venezuela and Cuba also) it was necessary for the filthy rich leaders of the Communist Party to massacre millions (about 40-million, in the case of Stalinist Russia) to keep the people in line and make them accept living in two-room, cement apartments with little heat and undependable water supplies. If you REALLY believe that there is even ONE THING superior about communistic rule over democratic rule, you need to go soak your head (preferably with your nose and mouth under the water line).
"The major drawback of Capitalism is that some people will become obscenely wealthy. The only virtue of Socialism is that everyone shares equally in the resulting misery." Sir Winston Churchill
Archiedebunker, almost all societies practice both capitalism and socialism together. Its just in different amounts. Many countries that engage in more "socialism" than the U.S. are doing much better than the U.S.A. and its citizens are happier.
Capitalism is absolutely necessary, but so is some socialism. Its finding a balance that works for different countries is what is tricky. Countries that have a longer history of democracy have had much more experience with mixing the two and tend to be more stable than countries with less experience and that are on one end of the spectrum. What happens is that they tend to keep swinging from one end of the political spectrum to the other.
Indeed, the opposition should stick to Capriles and stay hopeful. It has fared well in this election, better than in the last one.
Chavez' "Bolivarian revolution" is part of his personality cult. He makes sure he's unique and irreplaceable. The controversial nationalisations and expropriations were a vengence on capitalism. His social programs known as "missions" are a means to bribe voters – free education to all, free healthcare and housing to poor people. Yet this year was nothing like the landslide result of 2006, when he managed to get almost twice as many votes as his rivals. Indeed Chavez should be mindful of the fact that nearly half of the country is critical of his presidency. Apart from his health concerns, he faces substantial challenges – crime, inflation and mismanagement – that he has to deal with.
To all of you who support Chavez, do you live in a communist country like Venezuela, Iran, Cuba or do you live in USA? If so, STFU.
Good post!
This is a very good article and Fareed makes some very good points. Hopefully Capriles can keep the oposition together and they keep moving forward, that way if Chavez can't make it past 2016, they can move quickly to make sure new elections are held and someone doesn't appoint a successor. And to all of the Chavez lovers, do you say that Kim Jong Un is a good guy? How about Castro or Ortega or how was Mubarak. How is Ahmadinejad or Al Asad are they good guys too?
mubarak was a dictotor too, but americans supported him all the way. and they killed gaddaffi who was a good dictator. libyans had some of the best living standards in the world
I hate chavez plus qungly ana henry you are stupid because chaves ruins venezuela and the life of venezuelanos so please someone just go and shoot chaves so venezuela could turn back to its beutiful stage with a better president like capriles to save venezuela
Is really sad that still people believing in a person than for more than 14 years has ruined a country with all the money received by oil sales, ( more than 1 billion$).i went to Venezuela last year and ! incredible, no power, terribles services etc. Now the people vote for that, poor of them. Each country has the government that it deserve.
Chavez, a Dictador, giving away the Venezuelan Oil almost for free! Ignorant, rude and unpolite even with his own cabinet! What an example for the rest of ignorants that following and "adore" him in Venezuela! Only an internal or external intervention will taking him down from his power! a "sniper" perhaps?
Actually, I think Chavez has succeeded in creating "21st Century Socialism:" Profligate "social" spending in order to create a permanent dependent underclass, "spreading the wealth" via confiscation and nationalization of private property, a rubber-stamp government, media controls, and political harassment.
Poor Obama must be green with envy.
Viva Cancer.
Freedom 1; Freedom from freedom would be a better name as you are inciting assassination (mur der) of an openly elected democratic leader.
Sc um rising to the surface!
He needs another term finish destroying the economy.
Chavez has appointed his people in all sectors of Venezuela to protect and advance his regime at command. Venezuelans simply gave this communist buffoon too much time to operate. As soon as expropriations and closing of media outlets were seen it was obvious this man was no longer caring about elections. By now Venezuela is not only in economic shambles, the entire nation is rigged, running on favoritism, and elections have been a time gaining charade since last time when he won by a hopeful "51%", please. Venezuelans have not even tried and by now it is simply too late.
Venezuelan Election was a Fraud from the current dictatorship to keep in power. It was well executed from all different angles certainly. Five million fearful people voted either due special individual interest with the government, they were brained washed based on Cuban and Soviet well known used practices in Venezuela, or just fear that they were going to be caught not voting for the dictactor that provides its governamental job. Election results were based on Estate mighty Power, use of Estate money and resources to fund the totalitarian campaign, total control of the media, total control of the Army (with Cuban generals in charge) and, an Electoral National Committee (CNE) within the dictatorial and absolute control of Chavez (or I might say Fidel Castro, the mastermind behind the scenes). Of course, lately current totalitarian dictatorship (current government) sold a very considerable amount of Venezuelan Gold Reserves to pay for Russia and China help and advise, as the aftermath of elections. Rightful and hopeful venezuelan did their best and I applaud the efforts to become a "Free" society again. Now, more than ever all venezuelan with moral, ethics and education need to help others to see the light and, work together to get Venezuela back from all this free falling into hell.

The Chicago Police Department is looking to boost its list of recruits by the thousands.
Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said Friday he hopes to have 30,000 people apply to become police officers.
So far, roughly 20,000 people have applied since the beginning of August, McCarthy said, but the Sept. 16 deadline is quickly approaching.
U.S. & World
"A career in law enforcement is a great opportunity," McCarthy said.
This year, McCarthy said the department lowered the minimum age for applicants to 18, down from 21, and maintained a maximum age of 40.
"We want the best and brightest, the smartest, hardworking and we also want to make sure that we reflect the demographics of the community," McCarthy said.
The department only offers the test once every three to five years, as the costs of administering the test run around $1 million, McCarthy said.
Earlier this week, police sources told NBC 5 the mayor is asking the police department to cut its budget by 10 percent for next year.
On Tuesday, McCarthy said the department is "looking at different methods that we can still save money."
"We've been looking at ways of creating efficiencies, whether it's getting cops out on the street, hiring civilians, or consolidating districts which we did successfully in three separate neighborhoods," McCarthy said.
Still, this past holiday weekend saw at least seven dead and 23 wounded, and at least nine people were shot overnight Saturday.
McCarthy clarified that those efforts to save money will not come at the expense of police performance and emphasizes that the city's murder rate is down by 85 fewer murders so far this year.
An open house for potential candidates to meet with current CPD officers and tour the facility will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Police Academy, 1300 W. Jackson St.

Remarks by Angel Gurría, Secretary-General of the OECD
G20 Business Summit
Toronto, Canada
26 June 2010
It is a pleasure to be here on the occasion of the G20 Business Summit. I welcome the opportunity to discuss with you the current economic context and the challenges that Leaders will be discussing in the Summit.
A strengthening recovery, but also new risks
The recovery is on its way, but it is uneven across regions. In our latest projections, we project global growth will reach around 4 ¾ % this year and next. The main engines of growth are the emerging market economies. These economies will account for well over half global growth.
However, major challenges remain. First of all, joblessness is unacceptably high. This is the human face of the crisis that we need to continue to address effectively. In OECD countries, and even though unemployment is likely to have peaked, is still at post war high of 8.7 percent in the first quarter of 2010.
The crisis required unprecedented measures to stimulate the economy. And some countries were better prepared to afford this effort. Right now, however, public debt and deficits are also at record high, and in some regions like Europe, financial markets have reacted strongly with rising interest rate spreads on sovereign debt.
Inflationary pressures are emerging in some G20 countries where growth has been vigorous, and are receiving substantial capital flows, contributing to sharply rising asset prices.
Finally, the crisis has reduced the productive capacity of our economies. This is due to the higher cost of capital, and also high unemployment. We estimate that the fall of this productive capacity is around 3 percent in OECD economies.
In this delicate environment, governments face difficult policy choices. First of all policy needs to strike a balance between the imperative of fiscal consolidation and the need to support a job rich recovery. If public debt is left to accumulate at its current pace, the cost of borrowing is likely to rise, crowding out private investment. And private business investment is exactly what we need right now. Private demand needs to replace policy stimulus as the source of recovery in order to be self-sustaining.
But, if countries consolidate too soon, too fast and by too much, the fragile recovery could stall. Job creation, also a driver of a sustained expansion, would in turn be delayed. Moreover, if all countries move to consolidate at the same time, these effects would be exacerbated through trade and financial linkages. Thus getting the balance right is primordial!
This issue is at the core of the G20 Leaders' agenda. The solutions inevitably will be country specific, but through cooperation the trade-offs can be reduced, and growth maximized. At the OECD, we believe that there is no option other than combine sound fiscal policies with specific actions to maintain the momentum for recovery and job creation.
Our view is that fiscal consolidation should be as growth-friendly as possible. Specifically, it means that on the spending side, growth enhancing programmes, such as on education, innovation and infrastructure should be preserved to the extent possible, and efforts, for example, to improve public sector efficiency and phase out inefficient subsidies should be pursued. Moreover, consolidation measures should concentrate first on cutting government spending.
When additional revenue is needed, emphasis should be placed on the least distortive taxes. Our analysis found that such taxes include consumption and property taxes, rather than taxes on labour and business income. Recently announced fiscal consolidation plans in the UK move in this direction. Other options include, putting a price on carbon, via a carbon tax or through tradeable emission permits, which would both raise revenue and help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
However, we must ensure that the tax burden is fairly shared, and seen to be fairly shared. This requires a renewed effort to achieve better tax compliance. Here, thanks to the combination of G20 political support and OECD work, the world has achieved important breakthroughs in combating tax evasion. Such is the case of exchange of information for tax purposes, where since November 2008 we made more progress than in the last 10 years. This breakthrough means a more level playing field for international business, where competitiveness depends on the productivity of business enterprises, rather than aggressive tax planning.
In addition to fiscal policy, we must also focus on structural policy reforms. These are essential to speed up the recovery and to lay the groundwork for a more sustainable and fairer economic future. Structural reform will also be needed to reduce global imbalances in a durable manner. For example, action will need to be taken to raise savings in countries with large current account deficits, such as the United States, and to rebalance demand towards domestic sources in surplus countries, such as China and Germany. In such an environment, businesses have a stronger incentive to hire, which in turn boosts household incomes, leading to a virtuous cycle of stronger domestic demand.
The last point I would like to make is that it is not only policy reforms that count. Avoiding policy reversals and mistakes also matters. During the past one-and-a-half years, it is fair to say that the most important lessons from previous crises have been well learned. Leaders avoided misguided labour market policies and committed to open markets as an integral part of getting the world economy out of the crisis.
The OECD, WTO and UNCTAD report to G20 leaders on trade and investment measures conclude that most G20 members are holding to these commitments. The key role that trade is playing in the current upturn is there to remind us of the fundamental benefits of keeping markets open.
But we need to remain vigilant. Protectionist sentiments are likely to increase with low growth, persistent
unemployment and mounting pressures on government finances. And as our last joint report warned, discretion in the application of the many state support and support programmes for troubled firms may be used to favour domestic companies and disguise protectionism.
Bringing the Doha Development Agenda to a successful conclusion would prevent backsliding, bring much needed stability and predictability to international businesses and, in a period of intense fiscal consolidation and other headwinds holding the pace of growth back, give added impetus to the recovery.
In this context, strengthening international dialogue and consolidating the G20 as the prime forum for economic cooperation is key. We have already seen certain decisions taken by G20 governments that go in the right direction to boost productivity and rebalance the global growth. We are certain that the outcomes of this important meeting will have a positive impact. That's why we are here, and why international organisations are committed to contribute to this important process. Business too has a role to play by initiating new investments and hiring to expand productive capacity in order to be ready to take advantage of the recovery. Together we can build a stronger, cleaner, fairer world economy.
