Introducing...the Bay Harbor Intimate Wedding Package

Paul Roderick Gregory, Contributor
I cover domestic and world economics from a free-market perspective
Tax policy should be serious business carried out by serious politicians using real facts and figures. This is why we have the Library of Congress and the Congressional Budget Office, among other expert institutions.
How can we take Congress seriously when the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, makes patently inaccurate, outrageous and bizarre claims on an important tax-policy issue without any heads being turned? I guess this is what we have come to expect of Congress. No wonder citizens with favorable opinions of Congress are as rare as unicorns, to borrow a phrase.
Harry Reid's statement on December 6 on his proposed 1.9 percent surtax on million-dollar incomes has kicked up some dust. Here is his statement:
"Millionaire job creators are like unicorns. They're impossible to find, and they don't exist… Only a tiny fraction of people making more than a million dollars, probably less than 1 percent, are small business owners. And only a tiny fraction of that tiny fraction are traditional job creators…Most of these businesses are hedge fund managers or wealthy lawyers. They don't do much hiring and they don't need tax breaks."
In his remarks, Reid cited a National Public Radio broadcast on taxes and millionaire job creators. He particularly singled out the lack of Republican cooperation as stated in the NPR broadcast:
"NPR requested help from numerous Republican congressional offices, including House and Senate leadership. They were unable to produce a single millionaire job creator for us to interview."
Were it not for Google, I would have accepted Harry Reid's unicorn story. Unlike Harry Reid's office, I went to the IRS's Table 1.4 "Sources of income, adjustments, and tax size of adjusted gross income, 2009" to check things out. (I summarize my sources in a separate blog posting). Here is what I found:
There are 236,883 tax filers with incomes of a million dollars or more. By Harry Reid's count, only one percent, or 2,361 of them, are business owners, and a tiny fraction of them create jobs. I do not know what Harry means when he says "a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction." If we let 5 percent represent Harry's "tiny fraction," we are left with 118 businesses owners who earn a million or more and create jobs. Yes, they are only slightly less rare than unicorns, if Harry is to be believed.
This leaves 236,765 million-dollar-plus tax payers, most of whom are "hedge fund managers and wealthy lawyers" who "don't create jobs and don't need tax breaks."
My Google search for Harry Reid's quarter million hedge fund managers and wealthy lawyers came up empty handed. I could identify at most sixteen thousand "wealthy lawyers and hedge fund managers," not Harry Reid's quarter million.
Well, Harry Reid's numbers leave much to be desired, but maybe he is right that millionaire business owners do not create jobs.
What does the IRS have to say about this? Millionaire tax filers earn a total taxable income of $623 billion, on which they pay the highest average rate (30 percent) of any tax bracket. (Either Warren Buffet's secretary has an incompetent tax accountant or Buffet has some pretty juicy tax breaks. I think the latter is more likely). A 1.9 percent tax surcharge on million-dollar-earners would yield $11 billion, assuming those shifty millionaires take no evasive action to avoid the tax.
If this is correct (and I don't know that it is since it's based on a Google search), why aren't the Bush tax cuts creating all these jobs? They are still in place.
Reid is POS liar. As are most of Congress and the Senate are as well.
"Why would Harry Reid tell such whoppers, which are so easily disproved?"
Because demagoguery is effective and cheap. Disproof matters considerably less than 'market penetration' with the original lie.
Lies don't usually have a downside if one understands the press. If a lie is exposed, mostly it can be diverted by a new lie – sidelining any efforts to account for the old one.
1.How can you tell that Reid (hint -politician) is lying
2. Lies do nor rule me.
3. What are you going to do about this.
a. Sovereigns…?
b. servants…?

hey Forbes where are the comments?
Paul Roderick Gregory I have to admit, without due to your article, that there are holes in Senator Harry Reid's figures and an even larger hole in yours.
Neither you nor Reid address Millionaire Corporate Executives begging the question of whether or not you count in your categories Millionaire Corporate Executives as either "business owners" or "job creators."
Reid may be clumsy an ignorant or he may be sinister and know what he is doing, but either way, it works for the Dems and big spending
Mr. Reid is trying to dispel one of many conservative myths about taxes. These myths include:
1) "Income tax rate cuts increase revenues." No, they don't. CBO estimates the Bush/Obama income tax cuts will add $3 trillion or more to the debt over the next decade.
2) "We have a spending problem not a revenue problem." No, both are about 3% GDP away from historical averages.
3) "Taxing the rich job creators kills jobs." No, we only created 2 million net new jobs 2000-2010 with lower marginal rates vs. the 17-21 million we created in each of the preceding decades with higher rates.
In short, believe very little conservatives say about tax policy, as their goal is to get taxes down to the lowest possible level to "starve" the big government beast.
All that is getting starved is the Treasury, as we are just borrowing the difference.
If citizens are demanding we spend 23% GDP, then we need to tax 23% GDP (as opposed to our record low 15% GDP today).
Income tax revenues relative to GDP are about 7%, versus 10% when we last balanced the budget.
The rich never had it so good. The obvious test is that the big banks have not been broken up, Glass-Steagall separation of investment and depository banking has not been reestablished, and hedge fund earnings are taxed like capital gains instead of regular income.
We'll know the government is back in charge when we let the Bush/Obama tax cuts expire, which CBO reported as about 40% of our deficit by 2021.
So dirty Harry Reid never created a job ? I guess he just took others money via lobbying, legislation and self dealing and helped himself become rich. So why doesn't he give all of his money away then he can say he created a lot of jobs

BP (British Petroleum) will have to pay the fine on top of the $20 billion settlement for the oil spill. They could still be facing civil lawsuits.
The biggest surprise to me was that they made $43 billion profit this year. Clearly the oil spill did not slow them down.

Nick Bonino was drafted by the San Jose Sharks in the sixth round (No. 173) in the 2007 NHL Draft and his rights were traded to the Anaheim Ducks in March 2009. Its been in Anaheim where Bonino has flourished as a pro hockey player. And perhaps he can bring his penchant for winning to the Ducks this season.
Kathryn Tappen: You played under legendary prep school coach John Gardner at Avon [Conn.] Old Farms. Describe the experience of being a part of such a hockey culture there.
Nick Bonino: It was very special for me because I grew up [in] the town over and Avon Old Farms is such a staple of hockey in the area that everyone wanted to play there and go watch games there. To get a chance to attend the school, learn from coach Gardner and play with a lot of great players -- my linemate was Cam Atkinson over in Columbus -- was a great experience. Its fun to know youre going to a great school where players like Brian Leetch, Quicky [Jonathan Quick] have come out of; it helped me in my progression as a hockey player.

Are you making Kidd's Famous Brown Bag Turkey over the holidays? We wanna know how it turns out! Don't forget to come back and post your comments.
Prep time= 30 mins | Total time= 4 hrs 30 min | Servings: 6-8
• 1 (18 -20 lb) whole turkey
• 2 stalks celery (roughly chopped)
• 1 carrots (roughly chopped)
• 1 onions (cut into quarters)
• 3 -4 crushed garlic cloves
• Olive oil
1. Take everything out of the turkey. There will be a giblet bag and some other stuff.
2. Next add vegetables to the inside of the turkey. You don't even have to peel anything. This is easy because the veggies are just for flavor — you are going to throw them away later.
3. Take the onion and cut it into quarters.
4. Chop a nice long carrot.
5. Do the same with a couple stalks of celery.
6. Add several cloves of garlic that you mash between a broad kitchen knife and the kitchen counter.
7. Throw it all inside the turkey.
8. Then rub the turkey all over with olive oil — not butter because butter usually has salt in it and salt is the enemy of a moist turkey. Make sure the whole bird is covered in olive oil.
9. Put the turkey in a roasting pan and cover it with a large brown paper bag.
10. Staple shut. If you have a huge turkey use two paper bags at each end. It wont stick to the bird because of the olive oil.
11. Sprinkle the bag all over with water.
12. Place into pre-heated 375 F oven. ON THE MIDDLE RACK.
13. The bag wont burn because paper burns at 451 and we're at 375 degrees.
14. The advantage of the brown paper bag over the Reynolds cooking bag is that the paper breathes so the turkey ROASTS. In the Reynolds bag the turkey STEAMS, giving it a different taste.
15. Roast for 13-15 minutes per pound.
16. When you think it's ready, shove a meat thermometer through the bag and into the turkey and give it a minute to register. Make sure it doesn't touch the bone.
17. The thermometer should register between 163-170 degrees.
18. Remove from oven, cut away the bag and remove the basting pan.
19. Do not throw out the drippings!
20. To make the gravy, strain the pan juices into a really big pot. Any juices that accumulate on the turkey platter get poured into the pot.
21. Add six oz. of boiling chicken broth and 1/8 cup of cornstarch to the gravy to thicken it up. Cook on low heat and stir and cook and stir.
22. If it seems it isn't going to be thick enough, add a little more cornstarch.
23. That's it! Happy Thanksgiving
J-Si shared with us three halloween costumes this year that went too far. There was the mom that let her son wear a KKK costume. There was the idiot that dressed as a Boston Bomber victim, and finally the Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman halloween costumes.
While reading a list of the bodily functions that are acceptable at different stages in a relationship, J-Si reveals he was afraid to go to the bathroom around Kinsey when they first started dating…..and he had a little accident.
Why did Big Al run away from his girlfriends house last night at 12:45am? He tried to make a move on Dr. Girlfriend, but nature called! Twice! Listen to the whole clip below.
Kellie decided to jump on her workout trampoline in her birthday suit in front of her full length mirror. She said it was shocking to see what parts of her body jiggle the most! Check it out below!
J-Si went trick-or-treating with his family for Halloween and was having a good time until the older kids come out. Teenage bullies knocked Cason down and J-Si went on the defense! Listen below to find out what happened!

Volkswagen Rabbit MPG - real world numbers
jeffyscott Posts: 3,855I think that people tend to be lead footed in automatics... middle aged people racing from light to light...
Funny, I think it is just the opposite. I think most people are feather footed in automatics. I know that I tend to drive more aggressively in a manual.
Most drivers around here seem to be afraid that their car will break if they exceed 2500 rpm...and of course 90%+ of those cars are automatics....Get moving, already :mad: !
Well I guess it might depend on where you live. I am down in South Florida, commuting South into Boca Raton. There is not a lot of crazy aggressive driving, but the average speed on 45mph limit roads is probably 55mph, and most people like to rush away from the lights, although I suppose you never notice the slow coaches unless they are holding you up.
One thing had occurred to me - whether I could increase the gearing on my Rabbit by upping the tire diameter. I have no idea about custom wheels and fancy tires but if I could go from a 25" to a 26" tire it would increase my gearing 4% and might yield some benefit in economy. Of course it might cost me a fortune and ruin my ride and handling....
Well I decided to check my pure highway performance ( as pure as I can make it anyway ). I have a 2-door manual and drive with the AC on all the time ( in Florida ).
I did 202 miles after filling up, with about 30 miles of driving to and from the highway on uncongested suburban roads with 45mpg limit and lights every mile.
I tried my hardest not to exceed 70mph and did not hard acceleration to pass, no dropping a gear or anything else liable to impact consumption. I then went back to the same pump and refilled.
I got 202 miles from 6.7 gallons which is 30.15mpg. I only have 500 miles on the vehicle and I am hopeful that it will "loosen up" and give me better performance.
When I convert to UK mpg which is what I am used to, this works out to 36mpg which is pretty respectable. If I can eke out 25mpg on my commute, which is suburban, I will be pretty happy.
Also, I am enjoying the car. It compares nicely to my Volvo V50, which is a much more expensive vehicle and is really only marginally superior in terms of "solidity" and refinement. I will be taking a good look at the Golf Variant which may be badged as a Jetta Wagon, when it gets to the US.
I got 26.4mpg from my last tank of gas with only about 20 miles of highway driving. The rest of the miles were "suburban", 40-45mph speed limit roads with lights every half mile to mile.
I was pleasantly surprised because my resolve to drive as smoothly as possible in order to maximize gas mileage had weakened a little.
I hope the trend continues but I would settle for this MPG given the EPA urban cycle figure of 22mpg
rabbitdriver Posts: 8After a 10K/1-year service (at 6500 miles) I got a little over 30 mpg.
The car was driven almost 200 miles on the freeway,
between 65-80 mph. Manual transmission. Cruise control
used for about 75 miles.
One of the things they did at the servicing was rotate
the tires. After I got it back, it seemed stiffer, so maybe
they added air to the tires.
Prior to this, I've ranged between 24 and 29 mpg,
with most of the driving suburban at speeds up to
about 50, with some stop and go.
I don't drive enough to worry about the mileage.
hatchbackfreak Posts: 8Thanks. What I didnt see was the Civic. I got an 07 Civic now. 1.8Coupe. I hate Honda for not releasing the Hatchback in the US. Mileage is way to fantastic. Imagine a 140hp that does 37mpg?..What a wonderful engine...I still think of the Rabbit. Theyre now 13,000+.. I guess for having a 2.5L engine made a poor market since gas hike has been going on..
aleafinsf Posts: 2I got a 2.5 Automatic Rabbit 08 only 3 weeks ago. I love the car and the tiptronic is super fun. I know I don't have sufficient data to rely on but I think I have a problem, and I wonder if it is common. I am still on my second fuel tank and the first tank gave me only 15.6mpg. Given that the tank holds 14.5 gallons and the car is advertised as 22mpg city, 29mpg highway I fear there is something wrong. I drive both highway and city to work and not deal with much traffic. I was able to get only 220 miles on the first full tank while I should have gotten at least 350 on average.
I am using the second tank and it is burning gas the same speed as before. I took the car to the VW service yesterday and they couldn't detect anything wrong with it. I got the car thinking it would be economical but now I feel a bit fooled.
Anybody with the same problem? Or is this just common among brand new cars?
dingmara Posts: 1I have an 07 Rabbit with about 10k miles on it. I also have a ScanGaugeII that is plugged into the OBDC port which gives fairly accurate instantaneous and trip MPG results.
I just did a highway trip and did a significant chunk of it at 80mph, which yielded 25 MPG, and another portion at 60mph, which yielded 34 MPG. The MPG at 60 mph are quite impressive ... who would have thought that speed would make such a big difference in MPG.
shirotori Posts: 51Well I just put in another $45 worth of gas in the Rabbit...gas in the Chicago suburbs is around $3.74 / gallon and climbing for 87octane. Last summer I was getting consistently around 28 mpg, but then the cold weather came and I had been averaging about 25mph with mixed city/hwy driving. Today, after a week of very nice temperatures, I filled up and low and behold, I was back to 28mpg. Hopefully this will continue.
flwind Posts: 1I cannot believe this car gets such horrible gas mileage...I get a consistent 25mpg on my 4cyl Tacoma 4x4 , inflated the tires to their limit an got a best 28mpg on mostly country road driving 45-55mph...Why does this car get such bad mileage...I was considering purchasing one for the wife but not anymore...Guess it's going to be a Yaris for her....
tacalin Posts: 7... my numbers... meaning that they are in the limits published by the builder...
So, on the HW:
27.5 MpG at 87.5 MpH (almost) constant speed or 8.5 L/ 100 Km at 140 Km/h.
20.5 MpG at 37.5 MpH or 11.5 L/ 100 Km at 60 Km/h
I used 87 octans. Once I used 94, but the consumption was pretty much the same... The city is Montreal, so often the driving is stop & go.
After 27 000 Km ( 17 000 Miles) I can say that:
- the seats are a little bit harder than expected... On a long trip your [non-permissible content removed] begin to give pains...
- there is a little noise coming from the bord, and it become very anoing in the city, on the bumped roads.
- the variable sound control gives me a boost on the bass when slowing down.

"Thanks. What I didnt see was the Civic. I got an 07 Civic now. 1.8Coupe. I hate Honda for not releasing the Hatchback in the US. Mileage is way to fantastic. Imagine a 140hp that does 37mpg?..What a wonderful engine...I still think of the Rabbit. Theyre now 13,000+.. I guess for having a 2.5L engine made a poor market since gas hike has been going on.. "
Do you mean people are buying 2008 new Rabbits for $13,000?
If so, where?
crazedcommuter Posts: 281I just co-signed on an 08 Rabbit coupe for my college son. 1.9% for 48 mos. Black with auto. It had about 800 miles on it so we decided to take it on a 200 mile highway run from West Virginia to Pittsburgh. Out and back on the PA Turnpike-about 400 miles in all. MPG was 29.42 while driving at speeds up to 80 mph. Air was on almost the entire trip and and all but about 40 miles were on the highway. The Rabbit ran great. We are happy to be getting this MPG on this solid car.

chuckinfl Posts: 1I have had my Rabbit for about 2000 miles now. I really like the car, but am extremely disappointed in my mileage. The sticker had and EPA range of 22-29. I made the transition to drive conservatively a while back as gas prices went up, and am doing the same with this car.
During my approx. 8 fill-ups since I owned the car, I am consistently getting around 19.5 mpg. I do mostly city driving, but expected to get at least the published mpg minimum.
I replaced my 2006 Passat , which I loved, at the end of the lease to the Rabbit to get improved mileage. The Passat was getting about 22 mpg in the city (31-32 on the highway). Prior to that I had a Jetta. Of all the 3 VW's I have had, this one gets the worst mpg, hands-down.
I have been hoping that this problem was just because the car needed to be "broken in". However the mpg is staying the same on every tank.
Other than driving more conservatively, which I don't think is possible for me given that I already make a concerted effort to drive that way, is there anything else I can do to the car to save some $$$ at the pump?
I have the 2008 Rabbit 4-door for only about 600 miles now. Three fill-ups.
First two fill-ups: both 24 mpg, driving extremely conservatively, due to breaking in the new engine, which is completely unnatural for me, coming from a BMW 545i.
Third fill-up: drove more my usual way, but still not all-out: 22.6 mpg.
Conclusion: I would rather sacrifice some mpg and have some fun, so I would expect my future mpg to be mostly in the 21-22 range.
I am resigned to the fact that mpg with the 2008 Rabbit will be disappointing. At least it takes regular fuel.
One review I read somewhere from a guy who owns a 2008 VW GTI stated his mileage noticeably got better at around 5000 miles, so maybe there is some hope for us down the road. We'll see.
vio1 Posts: 1Hi,
Im driving a 2008 vw rabbit and just got myself a scangauge 2. Im getting really bad milage even with very gentle driving. In the city im averaging around 20L/100km (11.7mpg)... i havent done much highway driving yet, but i have done some mixed driving (city/highway and the best possible average i was getting was 14.7MPG. This car is rated at double that... why am i getting such poor results?
Im not gunning the car, im coasting whenever i can. Im not idling in traffic that much. I try and press the pedal only enough to get the car moving, and no aggresive driving.
Is this a normal result?
No it's not!!
Don't rely on any gizmos to do your mpg. Do it yourself!! Record the miles or km driven since the last fill-up and the gallons or L used which you can read right off the gas pump. I always do it myself. I use a hand calculator to divide the miles traveled by the gallons pumped. It's the best way to do it.
You have a trip odometer which can be set to zero miles or km. after you fill-up to keep track for you until the next fill-up. Keep setting it back to zero after copying down the distance traveled, after every fill-up.
I just got 29.2 mpg, yesterday, mostly highway. I'm averaging just over 24 mpg with 1400 miles driven. I have my 2008 Rabbit 4 door automatic for 6 weeks now and my mpg findings are right in line with what it should be.
Try doing it by hand calculation. If you still get 11-15 mpg, take it back to the dealer's service dept.
I have a feeling it's the scan-gauge that's defective and not your Rabbit! Most folks are averaging around 23-24 mpg.
mattgk Posts: 1I have a 2008 VW Rabbit and also am using a ScanGauge II - but your results are way off.
Pull out your manual for the scangauge and reread the section on setup and fill ups. You will want to fill up, reset the gauge, and then make sure you have it set for the right size engine and tank. Then drive througn your next fill up, use the fill up function without adjustment, drive again. At the next fillup you can adjust using the fillup function.
Once you have that you'll get a much more accurate picture of the mileage. I found that for the most part the scangauge was within 4% of my hand calculated mileage on my last car.

FRANKLIN, Tenn.– Franklin Police are searching for two people who stole a credit card from a church preschool classroom and then went on spending spree.
Police said that two people visited the People's Church on October 26 and posed as parents hoping to enroll their child into the program. When the church employee left the room, police said the two people stole a credit card from the purse of the teacher.
The suspects then went on a spending spree, racking up over $2,000 in fraudulent charges. Officials said that the pair purchased a variety of merchandise from stores in Franklin and Spring Hill.
Anyone with information about this crime was asked to call Franklin Crime Stoppers at (615) 794-4000.

While speaking at a banquet at TPC Sawgrass in Florida for a Birdies for the Brave event he hosted with his wife, Kathy, and Phil and Amy Mickelson this winter, Greenbrier owner Jim Justice joked with golf's most famous left-hander about his struggles the last two years at The Greenbrier Classic.
"I told him there are three ways to make a friend — make a confession, tell a secret and ask for a favor," Justice remembered of his comments toward Mickelson. "I told him my confession was that the people of West Virginia are loving and wonderful people. My secret is that they can also get pretty rowdy if you don't do exactly right.
"My favor — please make the cut."
Justice's joke drew laughter from the crowd assembled at the event, which raised money to support the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families — and also afforded Justice and his son, Jay, the opportunity to play a round with former president Bill Clinton and golf legend Jack Nicklaus — and it brought about a commitment from Mickelson.
"Phil said he likes the course and he knows he can play it," said Justice, explaining that Mickelson seems more motivated than discouraged by the fact that he missed the cut both times he played in The Greenbrier Classic, 2011 and 2012. "He said he wasn't backing off until he wins the thing."
Justice, now knee deep in his work to obtain player commitments for the 2013 Greenbrier Classic, is hopeful Mickelson's quest will continue July 4-7 at The Old White TPC in White Sulphur Springs when the fourth year of the tournament is contested over four days. But he also knows that Mickelson's schedule is limited, and he always has to consider the health of his wife, who is still recovering from breast cancer, when he makes his plans.
"We hope he's going to be here, but at the same time, he has constraints with Amy and his family," said Justice. "I would understand if he couldn't come, but I'm very hopeful he's going to come."
Justice is also hopeful that the game's biggest star, Tiger Woods, will be back at The Greenbrier. Woods played in the tournament for the first time last summer and, like Mickelson, failed to make the cut.
Fresh off a win at The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, Woods has been extremely selective in his schedule this year and recently skipped the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, N.C., where he had played in 2012 and won in 2007.
Justice said there has been no commitment from Woods to this point but, "we haven't been told not yet, either, so that's good."
Justice and new Greenbrier Classic tournament director Monte Ortel are starting to receive some commitments.
So far, six-time PGA TOUR winner Rory Sabbatini, 2012 U.S. Open winner Webb Simpson, 2009 U.S. Open winner Lucas Glover, fan favorite Boo Weekly, 2010 Greenbrier Classic champion Stuart Appleby and 2011 winner Scott Stallings are among the players committed to play in this year's event. Eight-time major championship winner Tom Watson, The Greenbrier's pro emeritus, and 2012 Greenbrier Classic champion Ted Potter Jr. have not yet committed but are expected to play.
Justice said he's reached out to agents for Ricky Fowler and Fred Couples but called the chances of their participation "a stretch."
He's also made an attempt to get some of the game's top European stars, but with the Irish Open June 27-30 and the British Open July 18-21, it's unlikely that players like Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy will want to come back to the United States in between those two dates.
"They'd love to come," said Justice. "They love everything they hear about The Greenbrier, but that's really going to be tough on them."
His work, though, won't stop. He's dedicated to putting together an attractive field that will meet the expectations that have been put in place in previous years.
"It's really difficult to always attract the best of the best," he explained. "If we could repeat the fields we've had in the past, we'd be very, very happy. But everybody's scrambling for the best players and to provide the best tournament for the players and their families."
"The players have really attached themselves to everything we've done. They love The Greenbrier, and they love the people, but all these players have their own personal lives. They're very selective on where they want to go, and they value their time. It's really quite competitive, and we really have to work at it. There are lots of calls made by lots of people."

A Bookprint is the list of five books that leave an indelible mark on our lives, shaping who we are and who we become.
You are what you read.
Australian author and illustrator Shaun Tan received an Academy Award® for Best Short Film (Animated) for his film "The Lost Thing" based on his picture book of the same name and is the 2011 recipient of the Astrid Lindgren Award, the world's largest award in children's literature. He is the internationally acclaimed author and illustrator of the award-winning Tales from Outer Suburbia and the New York Times bestseller The Arrival. Tan has twice won the World Fantasy Award and his books have been recognized over and over again—receiving a New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book Award, a Parent's Choice Gold Award, named to Metropolitan Home Magazine's "Design 100," and multiple "Best Books" lists.
Lost & Found: Three by Shaun Tan contains three beloved stories originally published in Australia as individual books and never widely available in the U.S. For the first time The Lost Thing, The Red Tree, and the John Marsden classic The Rabbits are presented in their entirety with additional new artwork and author's notes. Together they tell a moving tale about how we lose and find what matters to us most.
Shaun's newest title, The Bird King, will be released by Scholastic in Spring 2013.

Rick Santorum's definitive win in the Louisiana primary on Saturday shows that the race to become the republican candidate for president is not yet over. Santorum won 49% of the vote; Mitt Romney came in second with 27%; Newt Gingrich was third with 16%; and Ron Paul received 6%.
Though his win in the conservative Southern state was Santorum's best showing date, it does little to change the overall delegate count, in which he trails Romney by a signficant margin. It does give Santorum some momentum going into the next contests in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, which he must win to keep Romney from taking the nomination.

I write about video games: the industry and the culture.
It may not be strictly legal, but this World of Warcraft themed Chinese theme park looks absolutely amazing.
I must admit, a World of Warcraft theme park with truly massive statues and some pretty neat looking rides sounds like way more fun than Disney Land.
That being said, this particular theme park was built without the blessing of World of Warcraft developer/publisher Blizzard so it's basically one of the most daunting violations of intellectual property I've ever heard of—an IP violation that cost some $48 million to build.
These photos are from redditor FrancescaO_O who has a bunch more posted here. According to her, the theme park is actually pretty amazing. "A lot of the rides used 4-D and special effects," she says, "which I hand't experienced much of before. There was a good roller coaster with loops, where you are lying horizontally, face forward, like you are flying. That was my favourite ride. The water log ride ('splash of monster blood') was pretty good too."
It may be a blatant copyright violation, but then again, would we have ever seen a World of Warcraft theme park without countries like China willing to not simply bend the rules, but shred them into oblivion?
Either way, I want to go. I want to go see if the people who visit Changzhou, China, where the park is located, go as cosplayers. I bet they do. Now we just need two things: First, an unlicensed Chinese Star Wars theme park, and second, for the Minecraft community to replicate this park block by block.
Check out more photos here. Via reddit.
That theme park looks badass. Even if it wasn't ripping off… I mean heavily inspired by… World of warcraft you have one great theme park. One that puts any renaissance/fantasy fair to shame.
Now if only more things in life could come with the Happyness index.
Wow indeed! haha. It really will be interesting to see what Blizzard do, whether they decide to stand behind it with humble acceptance, or sue the crap out of them.
I've never played WoW so I'm gunning for the Star Wars theme park!
Can they sue the park? I'm not sure how valid their argument would be as far as international copyright laws goes. Browsing the pictures I can't find anything that has alliance or horde decals or this is X armor set a statue is wearing. It might be a case of just different enough to avoid an infringement suit.
Although this wouldn't be the first time the too close to plagarism for comfort has come up as far as gaming is concerned.
"It may be a blatant copyright violation"
I don't think US Copyright laws extend to China quite yet.
I think they are going to be out $48 million dollars. I saw that someone tried to build a Harry Potter castle without permission a couple years back and they got sued and lost. It was across international lines like this. As an artist who makes a living off in art, it bothers me to no end to see people make serious money of other peoples hard work. Its called stealing, even if they tweaked it a little its still Plagiarism for their profit. It's unethical plain and simple. I think if Blizzard doesn't stand up for their property rights this will set an example for others to say this is ok. but hey it's China this isn't the 1 millionth thing they have stolen either.
You always see really crappy Disney murals at cheap borderline crap theme parks, so surely this is just the final extension of that?
Notice the last picture in that album:
It's Po running his father's noodle shop.
Erik, none of the photos show WoW stuff. 1st photo shows two Chinese generals. 2nd photo is a Chinese temple (notice the pagodas on both sides.) 3rd photo is some generic BB female hero in great many fantasy online games in China.
Last time I checked, Blizzard doesn't own copyright to pagodas the Chinese have been building for centuries.
My Chinese ain't that good, but the theme park's name is something like "Happy Fighter Town", not WoW.
As far as the pictures go I don't see any connection to WoW except for the thing on the billboard that refers to "Kael'thas, prince of the elves". Everything else is just generic fantasy stuff.

Kevin Peterson, who helped General Electric redesign a tool to speed up the disassembly of gas turbines last year, is listed on the patent application as one of the inventors. Now, at 20, he is working on a rocket-launch system in Alabama for Boeing.
Peterson, a rising senior at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, is one of the hottest new products in corporate America's supply chain: a kind of futures contract on high-skill labor.
Faced with a wave of retiring engineers and scientists and the need for precise expertise, U.S. companies — including GE, Boeing, United Technologies Corp. and Microsoft Corp. — are making contact with college students far earlier than they ever have. Their involvement extends to advising and shaping curricula so graduates can plug into jobs faster with less training time and cost.
Universities "need to provide our students with hands-on, real-world practical application from Day One," said Rick Stephens, senior vice president of human resources and administration at Boeing in Chicago. "So when they show up at the first job, not only can they find information, not only can they develop it, they can actually do real work."
The corporate initiatives will help resolve a skill mismatch that's contributed to persistently high unemployment since the 18-month recession ended in June 2009. The jobless rate has stalled above 8 percent for 40 consecutive months, rising to 8.2 percent in May from 8.1 percent in April, and U.S. employers created only 69,000 jobs last month, the fewest in a year. The unemployment rate for youths ages 16 to 24 with a bachelor's degree or higher has averaged more than 9 percent annually since 2009.
When the Labor Department released the jobs data on June 1, Treasuries rallied, driving 10-year yields below 1.5 percent for the first time. That's a sign that long-term fixed-income investors see scant evidence of wage-driven inflation as the labor market fails to match workers with jobs — a trend that's contributing to a loss of the dynamism for which U.S. employment has long been known.
