Do you know what benefit Millennial employees want 3 TIMES MORE than cash bonuses?
Millennials, or the Gen Y workforce born between 1982 and 2002, are success-oriented but can be very high maintenance. They don't adapt to corporate cultures. Your company must be "Millennial-friendly" or risk a high turnover rate with this not-so-tolerant generation.
With mass Boomer retirement starting, and the smaller number of Gen X workers replacing them, smart employers are currently scrambling to determine not only how to recruit their next generation of young employees, but how to retain the Millennials they have now.
Lisa Orrell, author of 2 best-selling books, Millennials Incorporated and Millennials into Leadership, explains the eight critical retention requirements Millennials seek from an employer. Lisa's insight is backed by recent research into the Millennial generation and her years of experience working with multi-generations in organizations large and small.

Crime Prevention
"This community is only as safe as those living in it choose to make it. I strongly encourage each of you to report any suspicious activity. Personal safety is something we all need to take very seriously. "
~ Police Chief Barry Johnson
Safety When Walking
- Avoid walking alone at night. Call the University Police Department to arrange an escort between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m.
- Stay in well-lit, populated areas.

- If you feel threatened contact University Police immediately.
Protecting You and Your Vehicle
- Have your keys ready before you reach your car so you can open the door quickly.
- Look in, around and under your car before you get in.
- Do not assist occupants of disabled vehicles. Continue driving and call on your cell phone or find a nearby phone to call 911 to report the disabled vehicle.
- If your car breaks down, raise the hood, lock yourself in the car and call 911 or private motor assistance, if possible. If someone stops to help, stay in your locked car and let the window down 2 inches to talk.
- Always lock your car.
- If you can't take all your valuables from your car, lock them out of sight in the trunk or glove box.
- Never leave your windows open or your convertible top down.
In Your Office or Dorm

- Don't leave your desk or office keys, personal identification or building-access cards in unsecured areas.
- Call police to report suspicious people or activities

BRISTOL— Champions win these types of games.
LibertyCountyerased a 19-point deficit in the fourth quarter, and Dustin Watson's touchdown run and Marco Espinoza's extra point in overtime lifted the Bulldogs to a stunning 26-25 victory over Port St. Joe.
LibertyCounty's come-from-behind win was made even sweeter in that the Bulldogs claimed the District 4-1A championship with the victory. The Bulldogs improved to 8-2 overall and 4-0 in the district. Conversely, the loss couldn't have been more devastating for Port St. Joe, which missed an opportunity to force a three-team playoff to determine the district's two entrants in the playoffs.
Despite their struggles in the final quarter, the Tiger Sharks (6-3, 2-2) rebounded to score on their first possession of overtime on Troy Williams' 8-yard scamper to his left. PSJ, which missed two point-after attempts in regulation, suffered a botched snap on the two-point conversion and led just 25-19.
After a PSJ player was flagged for grabbing a player's face mask on third-and-goal on the ensuing possession, Watson run up the middle for a 5-yard touchdown to even the score. Espinoza, a freshman place-kicker who had missed two extra points earlier, split the uprights with his final attempt and then hurried toward the on-coming mass of teammates headed his direction from the sideline to celebrate.
LibertyCountytrailed 19-0 through three quarters but clawed back into contention with a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Watson scored on a 3-yard run on the first play of the final quarter, and he capped the Bulldogs' next possession with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Ben Beckwith to pull his team within 19-13 with 7:06 remaining in the contest.
PSJ was trying to seal the victory in the game's waning moments when Williams made an ill-advised pass across the field. Liberty County's Alex Marlowe stepped in front of the pass and returned the interception 60 yards for a touchdown and a 19-19 tie.
The Tiger Sharks' rushing tandem of Jarkice Davis and Dusty Richter overpowered the Liberty County defense. Davis finished with 191 rushing yards on 23 carries, and Richter complemented that effort with 111 yards on 10 rushes.
Richter's sprint off the right side of the line resulted in a 66-yard gain and set up Ramello Zaccarro's 1-yard touchdown run on the next play to give PSJ a 7-0 lead less than a minute into the second half.
After PSJ's defense forced a punt with its third of five sacks against Watson, the Tiger Sharks boosted their lead to 13-0 with Davis' 34-yard touchdown run with just over seven minutes left in the third quarter.
The teams then traded a trio of turnovers on three straight plays, the last of which was Zaccarro's interception of Watson at the Tiger Sharks' 10. On the second play of the next possession, Davis tip-toed along the sideline in front of the Liberty County bench en route to an 87-yard touchdown run and a 19-0 advantage.
The Tiger Sharks' defensive front pestered Watson throughout the game and forced him into a 9-for-21 passing performance with 141 yards and an interception. Bulldog receiver Michael Robinson hauled down five catches for 78 yards, and he also added a pair of interceptions on defense.
Marlowe, who played as hard as anyone on the Bulldogs' senior night, nearly reached the 100-yard plateau running the ball and settled with 93 yards on 15 carries.

happy february everyone! In this new month, I hope to continue being a better label reader. I also hope to have less processed foods or try to have none at all.
But just incase I have something that is packaged, for example, how would I know if the item had trans-fat? Is there a difference between 'partially hydrogenated oil' or hydrogenated oil? What about palm oil, is it vegan?
I also heard that many snack foods can contain bone char in the sugar! this is terrible. But of course, these are all good reasons to avoid the foods in the first place, even if they ARE non-dairy ( like Oreos, or Pop-tarts, maybe pudding mix? )
To make it easier I just avoid ALL added oils. Extracted oils are highly processed, calorie dense and offer no nutritional value.
Vikki ~
Agree with Wild4Stars above! Partially hydrogenated and hydrogenated are essentially the same. Palm oil is vegan, but it mostly consists of saturated fat, so the worst kind for your body.
As far as bone in sugar, it is a way some sugars are processed. If concerned, there are sugars marked vegan.
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
Palm oil production is also responsible for the clearing of forest in Indonesia, seriously impacting the habitat of the organgutan...a very close "relative" to humankind.
So - not only do we continue to clog our arteries with fats and kill ourselves slowly, we continue to make sure other species die too.
One more reason to read labels and not purchase products containing palm oil!
All we are saying is "Give Peas a Chance"
Thank you all! I am realizing how misleading these labels can be. How many times someone has told me, 'yes you can have non-dairy creamer because it has no milk' but then it has casein or whey...or it may be lactose-free but still has dairy in some form, not to mention the terrible oils!
So...we ought to avoid the hydrogenated oils for sure, as well as palm oil?
I admit I am not feeling confident enough to drink coffee/ tea black. But the artificial sweeteners and creamers really have a powerful addictive cycle, very shocking! Maybe I ought to just stick to the 'real' sugar, even just a tablespoon can't be that harmful. And I am not having much processed sugar or carbs in other ways...mainly brown rice and 'brown' breads, oats. Hope that is okay!

Look for raw sugars rather than refined white sugar - the bone char is generally used as a bleaching agent, so if it's not bleached, it's less likely (though possible) to have been processed with bone. You might also look into alternate sweeteners like raw agave or stevia.
Yes, avoid ALL hydrogenated anything, even "partially". My 15 yr old son learned at around age 5 how to recognize that word on labels because we found that it caused him "tummy aches". He loved a brand name toaster pastry (the brightly colored marketed to kids things with flavored fillings). Back then we were nowhere near veg*n. So, I'd buy him his favorites. Then he noticed that if he had them and then ran around (and when is a 5 yr old boy NOT running around?! lol) his tummy hurt. I found a similar organic item to try. We also found a recipe to make a similar item ourselves. Neither of those types caused that problem. So we compared labels on the two commercial varieties (one standard and one organic, same flavor for consistency) and discovered that partially hydrogenated fat was really the only difference in the ingredients. We started staying away from that right then.
I've been using almond milk and evaporated cane juice in my black tea and it has been great. I make the almond milk myself with my blender. (then I re-purpose the almond pulp into awesome crackers) And for those allergic to nuts, there's recipes online for making your own rice milk and I think maybe even your own oat milk.

This is How Dems Do It
The third and final night of this week's Democratic Convention may have lacked the fireworks we saw on the first two. Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton were eloquent in different ways, and weren't matched by Barack Obama or Joe Biden on the convention's closing night. That's not to say that the closing night wasn't effective, however. By focusing above all on two of Obama's decisions—to save General Motors and Chrysler and to send in the Seals to take out Osama bin Laden—Obama and Biden emphasized the two most politically potent contrasts, especially on the latter point, they could draw with Mitt Romney and used those contrasts to make their most telling attacks on Romney yet.
They also did more than that: They set up the election as a choice between a nation run on market principles and a nation subject to the dictates of fairness and inclusivity. Combine Obama and Biden's speeches with Clinton's the night before, and the party almost arrived at a governing credo: fairness and inclusiveness are not only right in themselves, they produce a more prosperous nation than a nation run on the narrow calculus that has shaped Bain Capital's—and much of corporate America's—priorities.
"Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive" is a pretty good campaign slogan, not just because it touts Obama's most obvious successes but also because it enables Democrats to talk about the cramped, market-driven worldview of Mitt Romney, the Republican Party and (though Democrats pursue this delicately) American business. Here's Biden contrasting Romney's response to Detroit's crisis to Obama's:
When I look back on the president's decision, I think of another son of an automobile man — Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney grew up in Detroit....His dad ran an entire automobile company, American Motors. In spite of that, he was willing to let Detroit go bankrupt. I don't think he's a bad guy. I'm sure he grew up loving cars as much as I did. I don't think he understood that saving the automobile worker — saving the industry — what it meant to all of America. I think he saw it the Bain way. I think he saw it in terms of balance sheets and write-offs. Folks, the Bain way may bring your firm the highest profits. But it's not the way to lead our country from the highest office.
When things hung in the balance, the president understood this was about a lot more than the automobile industry. This was about restoring America's pride. He understood in his gut what it would mean to leave a million people without hope or work if he didn't act.
Biden's was precisely the kind of contrast that convention speakers returned to repeatedly. They did it most obviously when laid-off workers from businesses Bain had taken over told their stories on Wednesday night. They did it subtly when Michelle Obama evoked the image of her husband poring over letters from ordinary Americans every night, something that I think many Americans have trouble envisioning Romney doing even as they know he methodically pores over the numbers behind his decisions to keep a plant open or close it down.
As a contrast to Romney and Bain, the convention highlighted high-road businesses, companies that take a view of success that's broader than the immediate payoff to investors. That's why Jim Sinegal of Costco, the anti-Walmart, the discount store that invests in training its workers and pays them well, spoke Wednesday night. It's why Obama, in the closing passages of his address, extolled, "the family business in Warroad, Minnesota that didn't lay off a single one of their four thousand employees during this recession, even when their competitors shut down dozens of plants, even when it meant the owners gave up some perks and pay – because they understood their biggest asset was the community and the workers who helped build that business."
Last night, Obama contrasted Romney's neo-Dickensian form of capitalism with the more stakeholder-oriented, Fordist capitalism that dominated the American economy in the three decades of broadly shared prosperity following World War II. "We believe that when a CEO pays his autoworkers enough to buy the cars that they build," Obama said, "the whole company does better."
Put all this together and what the Democrats offered was an accurate and devastating critique of current corporate capitalism—its elevation of stock value over all other measures of success. Obama won't say that and I have no reason to believe he thinks it in these terms. But, if the Democrats won't go quite so far as to say that the very model of American capitalism over the past 30 years has been bad for the country, they routinely criticize that model's outcomes: the rise and fall of unchecked finance, the explosion of economic inequality, the stagnation of American workers' incomes.
What both Biden and Obama did Thursday night was to raise the specter of this model coming to dominate government, too, should Romney be elected. Obama began this discussion by affirming the vitality and legitimacy of the market: "We insist on personal responsibility and we celebrate individual initiative," he said. "We're not entitled to success. We have to earn it. We honor the strivers, the dreamers, the risk-takers who have always been the driving force behind our free enterprise system – the greatest engine of growth and prosperity the world has ever known."
Yet, the market, he continued, was not all. "But we also believe in something called citizenship – a word at the very heart of our founding, at the very essence of our democracy; the idea that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another, and to future generations." What the Republicans threaten to do is to subordinate this credo too. While voucherizing Medicare will presumably save the government money (at least up front) and balance its books, it'll do so on the backs of most American seniors. Obama's value of citizenship won't permit that, and it's on this battlefield that the Democrats will fight this fall. "Our road is longer," Obama said in his peroration, "but we travel it together. We don't turn back. We leave no one behind. We pull each other up." That, Obama has calculated, is what Americans want in their president – at least when the alternative is a slide rule with hair.

Does "Reaganomics" - what Democrats call "trickle down" and most call the free market - work or does "Obamanomics" - crony socialism or "trickle up poverty" - work better. Reaganomics gave us 25 years of almost uninterrupted growth and Obamanomics has given us "the most Americans EVER in poverty and on food stamps.
Regardless, WE will determine our future not the pundits or polls.

gee, nothing left for me to say, as the first poster has said it all. the choice as presented is a false one.
a lot of us believe in helping our neighbors and we not only don't mind but advocate for a social safety net.
on the other hand, we have limits. go ahead, make my day, ask any modern liberal to state a coherent paradigm for (a) the limits of governmental authority and (b) the limits of taxation to pay for (a) and you won't get an answer. there is no answer, because modern liberalism is entirely an ad hoc contruction; one knows a "problem" or "crisis" and the "solution" when one sees it, the president proposes it, and the congress passes it--end of story.
the president's speech last night was a seemingly endless list of things to move money from one pocket to the other. i especially liked the one about how backward it is to suggest that mitt romney is an idiot because his advice might be if you want to go to college, ""borrow money from your parents." yes, no one will even be responsible for his or her own college costs any more once we elect the pied piper.
well, my wife and i paid for 3 entirely, including grad schoool, precisely because we were their parents.
mr. president, where's my refund check? and i want it from your and michelle's pocket, personally, please.

The first two posters have nailed it. The author's thesis is false. If he knows it, he's disingenuous - to be polite. If he doesn't, his ignorance is not only dangerous from a civic standpoint, but the value of his opinions is zero.
The choice we have is between a collectivist model of government in which the self-righteous, busy-bodies among us – some 536 elected officials and thousands of unaccountable bureaucrats – define what 320 million people should do, how much they should earn, and how dependent upon the governing class their inferiors should be, and a model of government in which the individual is responsible for his own life.
The massive increase in standard of living this country has experienced in the last 100-120 years is not a product of government. It is a product of the private sector operating within a system that did not overburden it. Those most responsible for that increased standard of living benefited hugely, but not at the expense of anybody. Rather, tens of millions benefited from the genius and industry of a few, with having done little more than exist when the improvements occurred.
Shared responsibility. Again, the statement is born of ignorance, disingenuousness, or the deceit that collectivists employ as SOP. When some members of society pay 40% or more of their earnings into the common pot and 40% of the income-earners pay nothing, that is neither shared responsibility, nor certainly, fair.
Our shared responsibility should be for the GENERAL welfare; that which is for ALL of us, not us individually. Common defense, roads, damns, administration of justice, these are the government structures for which we should share responsibility. On a graduated basis to account for differences in income, sure, but loading the burden on some to be the pack mules for millions of free-riders? THAT is unfair, and THAT is what conservatives oppose.
Social safety net? Surely. But for those who are so physically or mentally handicapped as to be incapable of helping themselves, and who are without family to share that burden first. Charitable organizations should fill the gap next. Then the community through government.
But generally, individuals - not government - should be responsible for housing, feeding, clothing and equipping themselves and their families with the necessities of life. Able-bodied men and women should NOT be on the public dole. For ANY but the most dire of reasons. Being on the dole is demoralizing, degrading, and corrosive to society.
We want a society of personal responsibility, turning to the collective as a very last resort. The author and his fellow-travelers are dangerously ignorant if they do not see the effects of their ideology played out around the world and throughout history. They are dishonest in their representation of the two approaches. It is collectivism - whether of the Marxist or other variety - versus individual liberty and responsibility.
The former is an invitation to dependence and subservience. The latter, an invitation to excel. Conservatives opt for the latter. That, sir, is the real choice.

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Grin at the promised change that's not yet found me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again!
That was the best political speech I've ever heard. Every Dem had something in it for him or her.
But Obama made essentially the same promises in his 2008 campaign, and then followed through on only a teensy handful of them. He makes skyscraper sized promises but delivers molehill sized results.
The man spent his youth as a community organizer, supposedly inspiring other people to get things done, but leaving the heavy lifting to them. So, he doesn't really have any experience in (and apparently little knowledge about) getting things done. Additionally, he brought friends, cronies, & academics into his administration that didn't know how to get the job done either. So, even though he inspires us, lifts our hopes & dreams to great heights, & promises us the sun & the moon, those are basically empty words--mere dreams of a dreamer.
So, now we have a choice. We can join that crowd of people that can be fooled all the time. Or we can stand among the crowd that won't get fooled again.
In all my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
Then I wake myself and see
The person falling here is me
Getting myself twice deceived
Never more

You mentioned Detroit in the column, and Romney's op-ed piece, where the NY Times supplied the misleading headline - "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt". Did anyone who bought into the false premise that Romney would have liquidated GM and Chrysler actually READ his op-ed? He laid out all sorts of suggestions on how the companies needed to be restructured to compete better against Toyota and others. He talked about how his dad saved AMC in the 1950's/60's - with shared sacrifice, and eliminating the "perks" of executive positions. Sort of like when Romney took over the Olympic games and found that - despite a huge budget deficit, the current staff was having expensive catered lunches brought in. Romney swapped those lunches for stacks of Dominos pizza, which he bought for $5 each, cut into 8 slices, and had the staff pay $1 per slice. He has LIVED the very kinds of sacrifices that his father used, and which Mitt Romney was suggesting would really save Detroit.
Meanwhile, in the "other" Detroit - the city run by liberal Democrats for 40+ years - How are things going?
- Half of babies born in Michigan last year were to welfare mothers
- 43% of babies born in Michigan last year to single mothers
- 18% of babies born in Michigan last year to teen mother who already had at least 1 child
- 1 in 5 babies born in Michigan last year to mother without a high school diploma
- 45,000 babies born in Michigan last year onto the welfare rolls
- 47% of Detroit residents are functionally illiterate
The economy in Michigan has been awful for a decade. Any rational person would expect social program spending to be way up. But a bad economy doesn't cause teen pregnancy, doesn't cause all the other self destructive behavior. A lifestyle based on dependency on government does cause those things, because these things (multi-generational single parent teen pregnancies, dropping out of school, etc.) become the "norm".
This isn't a "black vs. white" thing – I'm pretty certain there are more white people on welfare in Michigan than blacks. What this is about are programs that "push" that life of dependency. It's about pushing a philosophy that de-values education (why improve yourself if your plight is because someone else has your money, or won't pay more in taxes), one that de-values personal achievement ("you didn't build that"). The results above are what happens when you get too many people to accept an "I can't make it on my own, I need government to give me things" philosophy.
Obama is the biggest pusher of dependency in history. He measures "success" in entitlement programs by how many people he can sign up. He runs Food Stamp ads on radio where two women joke about "Looking Amazing" and how this can happen if you just sign up - as if they were trading the latest diet fad or recipe.

Meyerson's piece was not a false dichotomy. If you don't understand the difference in Libertarian-Randian Objectivism and the practical consequences for the past 30 years, which Meyerson lays out very well you need to do some more analysis.
I do have problems with Obama's follow through and his pandering and protection of Wall Strret and the financial sector. Moreover he needed to have ben saying these things and attacking the know-nothing, do-nothing GOP for the last 3 years, as being un-patriotic, and anti-community and anti-future, not to mention misanthropic and misogynistic and worshipers of greed and willfull ignorance.
It is up to him to stand up to these people who would destroy ou;r democracy,and I hope he will do so with another 4 years in office.

"They set up the election as a choice between a nation run on market principles and a nation subject to the dictates of fairness and inclusivity.... "
....and the Obama minions are more than happy to decide every issue of 'fairness'. They alone have the concentrated arrogance to think they can design incentives that will outperform the market incentives.
Every aspect of this thinking had been tried and has failed. A thing cannot be priced at a level other than what the people will freely pay.

Obama brought hope and helped America through disaster. Hope is still there. Just because things happen slowly, or others oppose change; does not mean it is time to give up and go back to the Bush years. Hope requires work and persistence in the face of set-backs.

"They set up the election as a choice between a nation run on market principles and a nation subject to the dictates of fairness and inclusivity."
You left a couple of important words out of the above sentence, Mr. Myerson. Those words are "free" and "government". Other than that you pretty much nailed it. Indeed, this election is a choice between a nation committed to free market principles and a nation subject to what the government dictates is fair and inclusive. If the 20th century taught us anything it's that a totalitarian regime is necessary in order for government to effectively impose the dictates of fairness and inclusivity upon its "subjects". I say thanks but no thanks. Fairness and inclusivity are goals we must to continue to strive for as individuals and as a nation, but not at the cost of our freedom. The ends simply do not justify the means. Given this choice, I'll take the nation run on free market principles -- warts and all -- every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Nice spin, but the reality is it's a choice between America and Europe.
I really fail to understand why so many of you want America to become Europe when you already have a perfectly good Europe right across the ocean. Why not just move there? Utopia AWAITS!
(Oh, that's right, Europe has run out of other-people's-money so you now need to plunder America's)
Fri, 2012-09-07 14:11
I must admit the single line is a good one, and I am sure it will be used to highlight the the 'evil' right. Might work even. My dilemma is this country was founded on indidual responsibility, hard work, and no government. As Obama continues to try and make us look like the UK, France and even Greece, we are losing sight that in those countries, big government has now been proven to NOT work, Unless we want to pay 70% taxes for all the things that Government would need to do to actually carry out Obamas vision. Obama cannot control 100,000 new teachers or policemen or fireman, those are state and local items that the Fed actually doesn't put that much money into. So the only way for Obama to do this is to find federal money to give to the state and local School Boards, totalling about 10,000,000,000 for quality Teachers as an example (Yeah, thats 10 Billion a year). Additionally, noone wants the disadvantaged to be taken for granted, or "Darwined" as the author is trying to point out, but who is paying the bill? I have worked my butt off for 32 years to get what I have today. I am a middle class guy. Obama is signalling, to me anyway, that if I want to be Middle class in his vision, I have to sell my house, ride the bus and reduce my income. He actually wants me to not be in the Middle class. He wants me in the Rich catgory. I make under 200K annually, and over my 32 year career that including getting my butt shot at for 26 years in every other country but this one, building a quality of life for my family, sending my kids to school on my dime, paying taxes and doing everything that is exepcted of a true citizen of this great country. But now I'll be shifted to a Rich category and pay taxes just as Warren Buffet does (same Tax bracket!!) Thats not America. Its UNamerican. Its OK if local charityies and churches have to assist local populations. That is the spirit of America. Its OK if not everyone gets to go to college... While I really like the single line as a way to separate the difference, this country has to CUT Spending (period) until it does, anyones vision is simply an halucination.
Fri, 2012-09-07 14:26
The last poster is right. America finds itself at a crossroad between moving closer toward a European model or trying to reinvent its own American way, which quite frankly none of us can really comprehend.
If you look at the USA in a global sense, one inevitably comes to wonder whether the American way, as practiced for the last 30 years, really works at all. The majority of wealth in this country today is not created by true value creating ideas, but by complex speculative markets or, in simple terms, a constant reshuffling of money.
Another crazy notion in the USA is that America has sole ownership of the American dream, when prosperity, equality, fraternity and liberty are universal ideas, practiced to much greater effect in developing countries than in the developed world.
Particularly for the developed economies, capitalism bears one problem. Growth. Growth is the ultima ratio of the capitalist economy. But growth is harder and harder to come by as a country matures. And more importantly, growth does not come without a huge cost, mostly environmental, but also the pressure for faster-paced innovation. That is why Europe (shall we say northern Europe) is what it is today: a heavily export-oriented and indeed flourishing economy with a broad, government-subsidized middle class and a much more pronounced environmental sensibility.
The USA, in contrast, still believes in the libertarian mythology, that self-regulating markets are better than markets regulated for the common good. Self-regulating markets (although they don't actually exist) are what lead to the financial melt-down, in which individual corporations were able to manipulate the markets to such an extreme, where they in effect, become more powerful than the government itself. The problem with that, well...while we can elect our government, we cannot elect the Bernie Madoffs, Jamie Dimons and so on. Therefore, one wonders if it is smart to be solely at their mercy...regardless of how brilliant they maybe.
Wolfgang Schäuble (CSU), the finance minister of Germany, recently said something to the effect of governments needing to adapt to the reality of globalization. We don't need government for the sake of employing people, we need government for the sake of effective global governance. This and the increasing burden on the environment are the challenges of the 21st century.
At the end of the day, it won't make much of a difference whether the US electorate choses Obama or Romney. They are in effect quite similar. The grand plus about Obama is his vision and his intellect, and thus the potential for moving this country into a new age, an age of greater global awareness, where Americans don't view themselves as this island of greatness, but an integral part of the world.
Leadership is an intangible quality, and it requires an electorate that possesses the sensibility and the education to recognize his leadership.
Education is ultimately, the biggest problem in this country. As much as one can sympathize with conservative values, and there is A LOT to sympathize with, the Republican party of today is quite frankly not an institution of conservative values, but a sad freak show supported by a well-meaning, but largely ignorant electorate that cannot see the forest for the trees.
In consequence, the GOP (and this does not include Romney) has morphed into a body of ridiculously outdated ideas and values, that not only make large swaths of the GOP unelectable, but to some degree even a danger to democracy.
PS: Last I checked the countries of northern Europe (mainly Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries) as well as Canada were the only western economies that were largely unaffected by the global financial crisis... I wonder why. Perhaps the US can learn a lesson or two...

"Free to die" is the Romney/Ryan way. The little girl at the Dem convention who would have died because she had hit the health care cartel system of limits to amount of use is alive because of Obama care. The GOP convention was full of false platitudes that contradicted their Platform that requires code in public due to the nastiness. Obama said we are responsible for the "hope and change" and our being good citizens. This may be a right-wing laughing point, but there is nothing funny about the robber barons Romney/Ryan.

Since government power is based on force, and Obama's vision is an ever expanding entitlement state, who is the real "robber baron"? You are buying into the false dichotomy of the author of this article. We must either have huge and oppressive state or give into "social darwinism".
Sat, 2012-09-08 18:12
Generally speaking, launching your argument with a nakedly false premise is a bad idea. The notion that our government's power is derived soley from its citizens, is pretty much what put the exception in American Exceptionalism. Our vote would be meaningless if our government didn't maintain its monopoly on force. One man's idea of a hugely oppressive state is another man's idea of moving toward a more perfect union. I'll respect the outcome either way provided everyone's right to vote is respected. How about you?

"But we also believe in something called citizenship – a word at the very heart of our founding, at the very essence of our democracy;"
This means that the real person to blame for the condition of our government is you and me, the voter. Like Clint said, we are the boss.
We elected a person to be president that doesn't even have a work ethic. He's been playing and campaigning the whole time he's been in office while having the Axelroders run the show. Responsible bosses have to let the slackers go, so let's take care of business.
Micky Mouse would be better than Obama, at least he shows up for work. the man is an embarrassment. Speaking of embarrassment, there's a whole lot of fools writing articles these days.
Fellow citizens we're 16 T in debt, we must start squaring the books are we're going to lose our country, wake-up.

The founding fathers of this country wrote the constitution in
order to provide for a successful and orderly nation and successful free
people. We are NOT being successful. I don't understand why no one
seems to point at the Government Workforce (THEM) as contributing to
the Financial MESS. "Government" largely is not Political appointees or
Elected politicians, they are transients, and are frequently ridiculed
by the career employees. I think few of THEM suffer from the current
national economic dilemma. I believe that the success of this country
should be the measure of government goodness. The Government workforce
should be measured by the success of American people and firms working
in the fields of government activity. They need to be led by leaders
who ask "How did we/you help?" "Do the helped agree?"
Government Federal Employees, "People" Cost. "People" Spend, or Cause to be Spent, Money, Our Tax Money, Or Borrowed Money. We need to get rid of the "People" who under perform. Send them out to be Americans, unemployed. If they are so profoundly smart and know what's good for all, Maybe, just Maybe, they'll start a business and hire some others...

When is Obama going to start treating cannabis users as his fellow citizens? No fair-minded person would ever treat their fellow citizens the way cannabis users are being treated. All because we're choosing to use a substance that is indisputably far, far safer to life and limb than America's drug, alcohol. Shame on the alcohol supremacist war on marijuana users.

I'm not sure what Obama's "statism" is. If it's coming to the rescue of major automobile industries or investment banks, whose failure would be a catastrophe for our economy, I'm for it, whatever you call it. The same for setting up a national group plan -- called the insurance exchange -- where millions of Americans will be able to buy health insurance for the first time, from private insurers, for care from private health care providers. The government will also pay part or all of the premiums for people who cannot afford them. If that is statism, again, I'm for it. I don't think anyone should go without medical care because they don't have enough money.
Are there other forms of "statism" that Obama has instituted? I'm eager to hear what they are.

What you have to do is open metro IE11, go to neowin, then open the new fav menu in IE11, the star button. Then you'll see a pin button, push that and select pin to start. Done. I now have the live tile.Go to the full post

The backyard is a special place. Even if it is only used as a play space for the kids or an area for the family dog, the backyard is still your own private green space. You can use it as a place to cultivate plants for food and beauty, a place for hosting summer parties, swimming in the pool, or dining outdoors. However, perhaps most importantly, the garden can be used as a place for meditation and prayer. It can act as your very own sacred place and sanctuary from the stresses in life.
No matter what your belief system, you can also cultivate and show the sacred aspect of your garden with certain resin garden statues. Folks who meditate may feel inspired by the serene, peaceful look on the face of a large Buddha statue. The Grand Scale Christ Sculpture that shows Jesus ascending from the cross will remind Christians of hope and faith. The Holy Family Sculpture will have the same effect with its classical beauty and peaceful appearance. The sanctity of the garden will also be demonstrated by the presence of beautiful, inspirational angel statues.
Get 20% off these classic religious-themed sculptures and all garden statuary from now until July 5th as part of the Design Toscano Fourth of July sale!

Cowon Plenue 1
If you're looking for a no-nonsense, great-sounding player the Cowon Plenue 1 is pretty hard to beat.
The PonoPlayer is an inherently likeable portable music player that delivers excellent high-end sound, but its quirky design and lackluster battery life leave us waiting for the second generation -- or a price cut.
Available from the manufacturer.
Sony Walkman NW-ZX2
The Sony Walkman NW-ZX2 is a luxury portable high-res audio player with Android streaming apps, a premium build and excellent sound, but its high price may be too much for all but the most dedicated music lovers.
Western Digital WD TV Media Player ( 2014)
While not for everyone, the WD TV's adroit playback of video and music files makes it the perfect living room box for people with large digital media collections.
Samsung Muse
The Samsung Galaxy Muse is quite possibly the most awkwardly designed MP3 player ever made.
Apple iPod Classic ( third generation, 160GB, silver)
The iPod Classic refines the formula that put the iPod on the map. None can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life, and intuitive user interface.
Apple iPod Touch ( 4th generation, 16GB, black)
The fourth-gen iPod Touch is Apple's second-best portable media player, with a price that will help you forget about No. 1.
Apple iPod Shuffle ( 2012, red)
The Apple iPod Shuffle is an adorable way to take your favorite songs on the go, but sometimes it's too small for its own good.
Apple iPod Touch ( 5th generation, 64GB, black)
The latest iPod Touch is the best iPod ever, and as close to a phoneless iPhone 5 as you can get -- but its high price makes it a tough call versus cheaper tablets with larger screens.
Apple iPod Nano ( seventh generation, red)
The seventh-generation iPod Nano is an incredibly compact portable media player with gym-friendly features, but it's overshadowed by the superior value of Apple's iPod Shuffle and fourth-generation iPod Touch.

Memories of Workington prove a Facebook smash
Last updated at 20:08, Thursday, 23 February 2012
A page celebrating old Workington on social networking website Facebook has attracted more than 2,700 members in its first two weeks.
Derek Edgar, 42, of Little Clifton, set up the page for people to reminisce about Workington and upload photos of their favourite places around the town.
The page, which Mr Edgar created on February 3, attracted 199 people within three days.
Members have submitted about 1,000 old and new photographs of places and people including Workington's old Ritz cinema, the steelworks, sports teams and street scenes.
He said: "The page has evolved so quickly, which has taken me by surprise.
"A great thing that has come out of it is there's a number of people who have lost touch with friends over the years and have been reunited through the group."
Mr Edgar, who has lived in and around Workington all his life, said that the group was a good place for people to discuss issues about the town.
He added: "The Facebook site has got people talking about Workington Hall and how it has become run down over the years, and Friar's Well opposite the police station.
"I didn't start the group up to start a campaign about anything but it is a good way for people to discuss anything they are passionate about."

Have your say
My family came from Workington in the 18 and 1900s and I am hoping to visit within the next 12 months. I am really interested in finding anyone who might have information on the Hadfields of Workington. My grandmother was Sarah Elizabeth Hadfield who married a Johnston. Her father was John Hadfield who married Catherine (Kate) Bumford. I have hit a brick wall about John Hadfield's birth but believe it to be between 1836 and 1841 and on his marriage cert he states his father as William but I can find no trace. Any help to this Aussie cousin would be much appreciated.
Dear Mr Edgar,
I am looking 4 My Grandfather(now dead)Grandparents never marrid but had my mother Frances Farish.His name was George Edgar and can find no trace of him. But he lived in Wton in 1933/34Is he in your ansestory?

I never claimed Apple didn't made improvements. I'm just saying iTunes is still a Cocoa-Carbon hybrid like it was before, which clearly shows in certain areas. With the interface supposedly being "rewritten/redesigned" many were hoping the company would finally take things all the way, which hasn't happened.
Yes that was a smartass response, however it's certainly very clear Apple made many improvements over iTunes 10. They delayed it because they had to rewrite some parts: http://www.imore.com...ineering-issues
I'm sure we'll see your preferance pane fixed in in iTunes 11.1 or similar.
The Preferences window, basically a relic of iTunes' Mac OS 9 past, hasn't been fixed in 11 years. I don't have much hope we'll see it addressed anytime soon either.

Saint Louis University has appointed Elizabeth Whitt, Ph.D., associate vice president for undergraduate education. Her tenure at SLU begins July 1, and she will report to Manoj Patankar, Ph.D., vice president for the Frost Campus.
"We are delighted to welcome Elizabeth to the SLU community," Patankar said. "She has stellar credentials and an outstanding reputation for bridging across academic and student affairs units, particularly the area of assessment."
Elizabeth Whitt, Ph.D.
Whitt's academic career spans nearly 25 years and includes numerous administrative posts. She currently is a professor of educational policy and leadership studies in the College of Education at the University of Iowa, where she also serves as the co-director of the Center for Research on Undergraduate Education. Previously, she oversaw student success initiatives in the office of the provost and coordinated the graduate programs in student affairs.
At SLU, Whitt will be responsible for leading and coordinating University-wide academic initiatives, including student learning outcomes assessment as well as the Honors, Pre-Law and Medical Scholars Programs. She will chair the Undergraduate Academic Affairs Committee (UAAC) and will be the academic liaison to the Integrated Advising and Mentoring System, Learning Communities and First-Year Interest Groups.
Whitt is a noted scholar and widely published researcher, particularly in the area of student learning and success. Her work on the Documenting Effective Educational Practice Project, co-sponsored by the National Survey of Student Engagement, led to the 2005 book Student Success in College: Creating Conditions that Matter.
Through her scholarship activities, Whitt has collaborated with colleagues at Gonzaga University, Seattle University, Canisius College and Spring Hill College. Those experiences, she said, expanded and deepened her understanding of, and appreciation for, what it means to be a Catholic institution of higher education in the United States,
"In particular, I found the emphasis of Jesuit universities on educating the whole person in a rigorous and reflective learning community focused on promoting the common good to be consistent with my own values as an educator," she said.
A commitment to diversity also has been a major theme in Whitt's work, including her efforts to create and implement programs for student success at the University of Iowa, where in 2007, she helped launch "Moving Forward Together," an initiative developed to improve the retention of students of color.
Highly respected in her field, Whitt has held leadership positions in the primary associations within in her discipline, including the American Educational Research Association (Postsecondary Education), the Association for the Study of Higher Education, ACPA: College Student Educators International, and NASPA: Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education. Additionally, she is editor of the New Directions for Student Services monograph series and is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of College Student Development.
Whitt has earned numerous honors during her 20-plus-year academic career, including the "Early Career Scholar Award" from the Association for the Study of Higher Education (1995), the "Annuit Coeptis Senior Professional Award" from ACPA (1999) and the "Outstanding Contribution to Knowledge Award" from ACPA (2007). The Department of Higher Education and Student Affairs at Indiana University also awarded her the "Robert H. Shaffer Distinguished Alumna Award."
Whitt has served on the faculties at Oklahoma State University, Iowa State University and the University of Illinois at Chicago. At SLU, she will have an appointment as a full professor of educational leadership and higher education in the College of Education and Public Service.
She earned a bachelor's degree in history from Drake University, a master's degree in college student personnel administration from Michigan State University and a Ph.D. in higher education administration and sociology from Indiana University.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — About 60 writers and other editorial contributors are owed more than $200,000 for their published work in Heart & Soul magazine, the only national magazine focused primarily on black women's health issues. A group representing the writers has conferred with attorneys about a possible lawsuit.
Its representatives are also meeting week with leaders of the National Writers Union/UAW Local 1981. NWU represented 30 out of 60 freelancers who were bilked out of $360,000 in 2009 by a New York City publisher and recently won a judgment for the full amount owed. The union is also suing Natural Solutions in Minneapolis on behalf of 13 unpaid freelancers.
Heart & Soul is in the process of being sold and current owner, Edwin Avent, plans on spending $10 million setting up his "Soul of the South" TV network, which launches in 2012, targeting African Americans in 50 cities, according to the Hollywood Reporter. (Yet, as of today, he has not told the writers, photographers and other editorial contributors when they will be paid.
Some of the Heart & Soul payments have been owed since last January. Beginning in July, several contributors were told payments were temporarily delayed because the 16-year-old magazine was changing owners.
The new owners are led by journalist George Curry, who's listed as the magazine's editorial director and is already running the editorial operations. Curry and his partners, Clarence Brown, Patrick Detry, and Pam Taylor, were to ensure that Avent had enough funds to pay his debts to writers, editors and other vendors. But according to recent updates on the deal, while the new owners are acquiring the magazine's title and subscription list, the debts would remain on Avent's balance sheet.
Contrary to a claim in Journal-isms.org, no deal has been finalized and the writers and editors have received no word on when they will be paid. Meanwhile, salaries for the magazine's advertising sales staff have continued without interruption.
"We've been told to hold on for two weeks, and then two more weeks, and then two more weeks since late July," one writer said. "At this point, I don't believe they intend to pay at all. They're stalling. If they can just keep telling us 'two more weeks, the deal hasn't been finalized,' they figure we'll simply shut up about this."
Said another writer, "In a time when freelance fees have fallen way off and contracts are harder to come by, many of us are struggling to pay a mortgage or rent or child-care and put food on the table. Many of us could transfer our skills elsewhere. Yet, we do this work because we love this work. How would the publishing world function if those of who are proven at this craft could no longer afford to do this craft?"
NWU President Larry Goldbetter said, "We support the Heart & Soul writers and editors and we are eager to join the fight. Here are 60 more reasons—$200,000 worth—why freelance journalists should join NWU and build the campaign to 'Pay the Writer.'"

Tuesday, 8th Nov 2011
Austin,Texas continues to be a melting pot for new and underground music, with the now infamous South by Southwest festival taking over its streets and venues every March and the aptly named Fun Fun Fun Fest completing its sixth instalment last weekend. The festival has grown a reputation as being one of the most relaxed, creative and pioneering in the US, with this year's line-up featuring an eclectic mix of artists including headline acts Slayer and Public Enemy.
Slayer play Fun Fun Fun Fest 2011
British act and Subculture favourite Four Tet brought his unique blend of folk electronica to the festival, playing alongside Flying Lotus and Odd Future at the new Auditorium Shoes venue. Staying true to its care-free consensus the weekend held several surprises; including a visit from actor Ryan Gosling and an impromptu wedding officiated by ex Black Flag member Henry Rollins!

War Horse News is going to take a little detour this week. The detour passes through the Library of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) in London, which offers some clues to something that's been on my mind about Joey's path from the farm to the war.
There are two strong settings in the film War Horse. The farm scenes in rural Devon and the trenches and scorched earth of No Man's Land at The Front.
But one other setting really stuck with me: the extensive stables where Captain Nicholls took Joey after buying him from Albert's father. In the book version of War Horse, author Michael Morpurgo does into quite a bit of detail of this period of Joey's life with Captain Nicholls. A war horse needs a lot of training, and Joey was turned over to Corporal Sam Perkins for what we might think of as dressage training.
Corporal Perkins complained, "He's good out on maneuvers–a real stayer, one of the very best–but inside the school, sir, he's a devil, and a strong devil, too. Never been properly schooled, sir, you can tell that….If he's to be a cavalry horse, sir, he'll have to learn to accept the disciplines. He has to learn to obey instantly and instinctively. You don't want a prima donna under you when the bullets start flying."
Joey's voice tells us "Now there were endless tedious hours circling the school. Gone was the gentle snaffle bit that I was so used to, and in its place was an uncomfortable, cumbersome barbed bit that pinched the corners of my mouth and infuriated me beyond belief."
It sounds like Joey would have been a good eventer…but maybe not a dressage horse. In the book, Joey complains about the harsh bit and spurs that Corporal Perkins uses to make him submissive.
This part of Joey's training was most important, and thousands of cavalry horses went through a similar ordeal. They would have been sent to a place like Romsey Remount Depot or Lathom Park in Lancashire. Later in the war, Romsey specialized in turning thousands upon thousands of North American "mustangs" into instant war horses.
We offer a special excerpt today from the Royal College of Veterinary Science (RCVS) Trust Library in London. My fellow blogger there, librarian Clare Boulton, offers some insight into "equine recruits" at the beginning of World War I:
"In his book, The Horse and the War, Sidney Galtrey states that 165,000 horses were 'impressed' by the Army in the first twelve days of the war alone. Records show that during the course of the war some 468,000 horses were purchased in the UK and a further 618,000 in North America.
"This massive increase in numbers required a rapid expansion of the Remount Service, part of this expansion was the establishment of a new depot at Romsey to receive horses that arrived in Southampton, having been purchased in the USA.
"Construction of Romsey Remount Depot began in November 1914. It was completed in just over four months, for a cost of £152,000, with the first two horses arriving on 19th March 1915. The Commandant of the depot, Colonel H M Jessel, recorded its activities in The story of Romsey Remount Depot.
"A fairly typical month was July 1916 when Jessel records the daily 'ins' as 2533 animals and the 'outs' as 1374. During the course of the war a total of 118,755 animals came into Romsey and 114,636 were sent out for active service.
"The record of the veterinary work at Romsey for May 1917-October 1918 shows that 5,458 animals were admitted to the Veterinary Hospital but just 35 died or had to be destroyed. The most common reasons given for the deaths is enteritis or fractures.
"It would appear from the inscriptions on the paintings by Lionel Edwards that featured in our earlier post at least one of these horses spent some time receiving veterinary treatment at Romsey as the painting is labeled 'nasal eruption not glanders'."
If you live in the UK and are interested in finding out more about the remount service, why not pay a visit to the RCVS Library Trust and look at the items that they have in their collections?

RaSPy final: Updated building instructions
3 comments:
- Jim Kelly said...
Very cool, Matthias... I like the parts listing and the boxes showing which parts will be used for a specific step.
One question: Is there a way to enlarge each step's image of the RaSPy (in the upper left corner of each step)? In some of them, the pieces are either dark or small and difficult to tell what goes where (but it might be my laptop screen - might want to wait for some more feedback).
Thanks for doing this... it definitely shows what's possible with the NXT parts when it comes to building instructions.
- Jun 1, 2006, 10:32:00 PM
- Matthias Paul Scholz said...
Indeed, there are many configuration switches in LPUB (all honor here belongs to Kevin Clague!) that affect the size, the quality and the brilliance of the images.
I mainly used medium settings for there's a trade-off between the quality and the size of the resulting instructions archive.
Yet, if there's a popular demand to increase the images' size and quality and to accept a pretty large download size for that (what's an appropriate limit? 1.5 mb? 3 mb?), for aught I care there's no problem to provide an according version.
- Jun 2, 2006, 1:25:00 AM
Perhaps just zoom in on those 'detail' portions that are difficult to see? (Note, haven't looked at the file yet, just going off of Jim's comment)

Will The Future See Us All Using XTouch To Turn Our Countertops Into Giant iPad Controllers?
Imagine slapping your nightstand to snooze your iPhone's alarm. Or rapping on the kitchen countertop to flip recipe book pages so your flour-coated hands don't mess up the iPad's screen. These scenarios could soon be real: XTouch is a new technology that essentially turns any solid surface into an input device for an iPad or iPhone.
