The lieutenant governor of Texas called on Friday, for state-funded, specialized firearms training for teachers and administrators to guard against school shootings.
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst is the latest politician to suggest arming teachers or other school officials in the wake of the mass shooting of 20 children and six adults at Connecticut elementary school last month.
Lawmakers in South Carolina, Oklahoma, Missouri and South Dakota are looking into legislation that would allow teachers and other school employees to have guns. A rural school district in Ohio drew attention on Friday with its plan to arm a handful of its non—teaching employees with handguns this year perhaps even janitors.
On the other side of America's divisive debate over gun violence, arms control advocates have stepped up demands to ban assault rifles and implement other restrictions on buying and owning guns.
Vice President Joe Biden has been meeting with groups this week to develop policy recommendations on how to prevent more tragedies. The proposals are expected to include calls for universal background checks and bans on assault weapons and high—capacity ammunition magazines.
The National Rifle Association, the country's most powerful gun lobby, has rejected any further restrictions on gun purchases or ownership and called for armed guards in every school in America.
Gun rights supporters fear that prohibiting assault weapons could pave the way for wider bans that would violate the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees the right of citizens to keep arms. Gun control advocates say the Second Amendment was never intended to protect ownership of military—style guns like the AR—15 rifle used in the Newtown, Connecticut shooting.
Dewhurst, a Republican, said school districts would nominate who they wanted to carry weapons on campus. The training would be more extensive than what is required for a Texas concealed handgun license and include how to react technically and emotionally in an active shooter situation.
"God forbid we should have an active shooter crisis in our schools," Dewhurst said. "Eight hours of instruction and two hours on the range is not sufficient."
Dewhurst offered no other details of his plan on Friday any specifics of what the training should include. The amount of state funding needed would depend on the number of school districts that participate and how many people want the training. School districts would not be required to participate.
Dewhurst has a concealed handgun license and made his comments in a speech to the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation.
Texas is a state where gun ownership is typically embraced. Concealed handgun license holders are allowed to bring weapons into the state Capitol and don't have to pass through security metal detectors.
Although state law generally bans guns from schools, school districts may grant teachers and staff permission to carry weapons on to campus if they are licensed.
But lawmakers don't pass every gun bill that gets proposed. In 2011, most of the state's lawmakers signed on in support of a bill allowing concealed weapons into college classrooms, but the bill failed without a final vote in the Republican—majority House.
Dewhurst said his plan would not be a mandate for more guns in schools, but would allow school districts to seek the state's help in guarding against a mass shooter.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has said concealed handgun license holders should be allowed to carry their weapons wherever they want. A Perry spokesman did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment on Dewhurst's proposal.
In Ohio, four school employees in Montpelier have agreed to take a weapons training course and carry their own guns inside the district's one building, which houses 1,000 students in kindergarten through 12th grade, school officials said.
The Toledo Blade newspaper reported that the employees were janitors, but school officials would not confirm that to The Associated Press, saying only that they are employees who don't have direct supervision over the students in the northwest Ohio district.
The four employees who will carry guns all volunteered to take part, Superintendent Jamie Grime said Friday The school plans to pay for them to attend a two—day training course.
Montpelier school officials began reviewing security plans after the Newtown tragedy and decided teachers should not be armed because their first priority in an emergency should be locking doors and protecting students, Grime said. The school already has security cameras and locked doors, and requires visitors to be buzzed into the front entrance.
The proposal was not announced until just before the board voted unanimously on Wednesday to arm a select group of employees after consulting with the local police chief and attorneys who reviewed Ohio's concealed carry law. The law prohibits guns in schools except in a few cases, and allows education boards to authorize someone to carry a gun inside schools.
A letter was sent out to parents after the vote. Only three complained, while close to 150 called or sent emails supporting the idea in Montpelier, a remote city of about 4,000 residents.
"It's a place where people hold the Second Amendment close to their hearts," the superintendent said.

After waiting patiently since the September launch of the Capital Bikeshare sysem, I can finally see a docking station from my office window in Rosslyn. On Monday, Capital Bikeshare launched four new stations in the Rosslyn Urban Village of Arlington - with future plans to expand throughout the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor.
Having previously been able to enjoy using the Bikeshare system during visits to the District and Crystal City, I've been anticipating the arrival of bikes right outside my office. Here are 5 reasons I'm excited to finally have Capital Bikeshare in the neighborhood:
1. Having bike access will at least triple the radius of food truck options available to me during lunch time.
2. My 18 minute walk from the office to the gym can now be reduced to a 5 minute bike ride.
3. The ability to take better advantage of the nice weather when heading into the District after work for events, happy hours, etc.
4. Having more legitimate reasons to use the system, instead of inventing unnecessary trips and errands just to take a short ride.
5. Watching the jealous, awestruck look on people's faces when I cruise by on a shiny, red Capital Bikeshare bike.
Have you visited any of the new stations yet? You can learn all about them through the BikeArlington Scavenger Hunt, starting April 22nd!
Brett Jones is a Business Development Manager with Arlington Transportation Partners.

Human vs. machine = spirit vs. body?
Victory lies in the soul of the human spirit, not in the hands of the machines.A phrase like "the soul of the human spirit" sounds a little redundant at first, but when you hear it contrasted with "the hands of the machines", it sounds more emphatic than anything else -- and its meaning seems clear enough. As far as John Connor is concerned, machines are defined entirely by their physicality, their material qualities, their bodies, but humans are defined by something more invisible, something more intangible, something more spiritual.
Incidentally, this isn't the first time John Connor has referred to the "hands" of his opponents. In a trailer that was released late last year, John Connor remarks, "The devil's hands have been busy," and then proceeds to say some not-very-friendly things to a man who may or may not be a Terminator.
Is the man in question really a Terminator? John Connor certainly seems to think so, at least in that scene. But other trailers released since then have indicated that this man might be something else, either a human-machine hybrid or a machine that has achieved an unprecedented degree of consciousness, such that he is now virtually indistinguishable from a human being.
Either way, it seems John Connor may have to rethink the sharp line he has drawn between "human" and "machine" in this film.Note, also, that this TV spot goes on to include a line from Kyle Reese, spoken as he points to his head and then, presumably, to his chest, just below the frame:
Stay alive, in here [head] and in here [chest].Once again, the trailer suggests that true "life" is not simply to be found in the body; it is not simply a matter of keeping all the physical parts working. Instead, it is to be found in something more intangible, tethered though it may be to the body: in this case, the mind and the heart.
But who is Kyle talking to in that clip? John Connor? One of the other human resistance fighters? Or is it possible that he is speaking to the mechanical man? If so, does Kyle know the man is at least partly mechanical when he says this line? What does Kyle believe about the human-machine dichotomy in general, and about how it might apply to this man in particular?
I guess we'll learn the answers to at least some of those questions in three weeks. In the meantime, the trailers have certainly given us a fair bit to chew on.
And for what it's worth, I can't resist noting the irony that almost all of the humans depicted in this film will probably be played by actual people who were physically present in front of the camera, while many of the machines will be digital creations that exist only in the minds of the computers that generated those images.

It pays to be at the top of the corporate food chain. It really pays.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Larry Ellison, founder and chief executive of software maker Oracle, topped the list of best-paid executives of public companies during the past decade. Ellison received $1.84 billion in compensation, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of CEO pay.
Barry Diller came in second on the compensation list, the WSJ reports. Diller received $1.14 billion from IAC/InterActive and Expedia.com, the online travel site IAC spun off in 2005, where he remains chairman.
Rounding out the top five were Occidental Petroleum CEO Ray Irani at $857 million, Apple's Steve Jobs with $749 million and Capital One Financial's Richard Fairbank at $569 million, the WSJ said.
No Georgia CEO made the list of the top 25. No woman is on the list.
Four of the top 25 CEOs worked at financial companies, the WSJ reports. The newspaper's analysis includes salaries, bonuses, perks and realized gains on both restricted stock and stock options.
Shareholders at some companies benefited along with the CEOs, the WSJ reports. For example, Oracle shareholders saw the value of their stock triple, while shareholders of Apple saw their stock soar nearly 12 times over.
But four of the 10 highest-earning executives ran companies whose shareholders lost money over the decade: IAC/InterActive, Countrywide, Capital One and Cendant, the WSJ says.
Is any CEO worth this type of money?
For the CEOs who built their companies from scratch, is this a just reward? Much too excessive?
What does this say about CEO "pay-for-performance" formulas?

At the first of the year the CEO for Japanese Airlines (JAL) took a cut in pay to $1 for the year because JAL was experiencing hard times. He stated he felt it was his responsibility to take a hit just as his employees were doing. The man showed class, something American CEO's lack! These over paid sissy golf players are NOTHING more than thugs with an education! They do nothing & take their barley legal teenage receptionist on junkets to resorts for meetings!

"Airport suit costs city millions"
"Atlanta plans to appeal it loss, but the suit over airport advertising could cost it — and the taxpayers — millions of dollars."
I was struck by this AJC headline and considered if maybe the misdeeds of corrupt elected officials are really what cost the city millions. Billy Corey won the fight that couldn't be won. Now, he will be painted with the broad brush wielded by the folks on Marietta Street . . . or is it Dunwoody, now?
Aren't you sick of corrruption and deceit no matter the color?
July 27th, 2010
3:09 pm
MTA, the JAL ceo was just copying Steve Jobs (an american CEO) who took $1 salary for the first several years back at Apple (starting in 1998), when they were "beleaguered", and has since turned Apple around. Americans need to stop acting on impulse and "it just seems right/wrong'" and start basing opinions on facts.
July 27th, 2010
3:21 pm
Well stated, Matt. These CEOs are brilliant, educated, strategic individuals. None of them got there by accident, luck, or birth. As someone who has been married to a high-paid executive for 10 years, I cannot begin to elaborate on the long hours and personal sacrifice these men have endured. Average people can't take the pressure on top.
July 27th, 2010
3:22 pm
MTA: I am not saying that there are not some CEOs amount to philandering thugs with an education; however, Ellison founded a company and grew it to $120 billion and employs over 100,000 people; commerce, government and personal computing would not be possible as it currently is without Oracle. In addition, he has made countless charitable contributions. So, you don't think he's earned less than a 1% of the value of the company he built? Yeah, he probably just got lucky.
July 27th, 2010
3:30 pm
Christina, and the fact that YOU live such a comfortable lifestyle is the reason why you feel this way I am sure.

"1) Is any CEO worth this type of money? 2) For the CEOs who built their companies from scratch, is this a just reward? Much too excessive? 3) What does this say about CEO "pay-for-performance" formulas?"
1) No!
2) No!
3) That they're crap.
I don't begrudge investors for getting rich off of their investments.
On the other hand, it's criminal to compensate CEOs as if their companies succeeded entirely because of him, while most employees are compensated a tiny fraction of the income of those in top management (and actually see their purchasing power reduced over the same period of time).
Of course, when top management sits on each others Boards of Directors, you don't have compensation decided by free markets, you have compensation decided by an old boys club at the expense of owners (i.e., investors) and employees. It's legalized theft.
July 27th, 2010
3:35 pm
Seriously, why does anyone need to make that amount of money a year? I am all for people being successful and so on. But at some point enough has to be enough. Just like atheletes making millions and owners driving up the cost of their tickets to pay the salaries. Pretty soon no one will be able to attend their events or shop at their businesses.
July 27th, 2010
3:36 pm
Way to go AJC. Keep flogging that "class-envy" donkey as long as possible.
July 27th, 2010
3:37 pm
"So, you don't think he's earned less than a 1% of the value of the company he built? Yeah, he probably just got lucky."
I would love to see someone argue with that. Nothing is stopping ANYONE in America from starting the next Oracle, Microsoft, etc, except brains and work ethic.
But this has become a country where Iphones, flat screen TV's and Jordan shoes are considered rights, not luxuries/rewards for hard work and sacrifice.
Im generous to charity, but the ones I choose.
In conclusion, hell yes they deserve it. If you dont agree with it, dont buy stock in their company and if you want to earn more go out and start a company.
July 27th, 2010
3:37 pm
Yes, if you consider rarely sleeping in the same bed with your husband because he is on business trips 5 days a week and dad being on his laptop throughout every family vacation and teaching your children not to speak in the car so he can be on constant business calls "comfortable" then I guess I am.
July 27th, 2010
3:37 pm
They worked hard and got very nicely rewarded, I am happy for them. I may never make a billion, or even a million a year, but I work hard and am doing pretty well. To the jealous people here, put down the damn TV remote and make something of yourself!!!! You may surprise yourself. If you are just going to whine and do nothing about it, go back the sports blogs where lazy whiners are welcome!!
July 27th, 2010
3:37 pm
That MTA creep is just a whining envious twit. He, like many others, think they are "entitled" to live lavishly, just because they breathe air. It's just jealousy, because MTA made poor choices and wouldn't sacrifice the elbow grease to succeed. In other times, that was know as LAZY! Hey MTA, try working and pursuing something, instead of watching TV after you come home from a hard day of passing customers french fry orders to them through a little bitty window.
July 27th, 2010
3:45 pm
Chris & J – Read what I posted for MTA. It works for your sad sacks too. If you want to be a CEO, make the choices, do the work, or shut up and go back to sitting on your couch whining about what others get as compensation for everything you shun, like hard work.
July 27th, 2010
4:01 pm
This is not rocket science. If you don't want these CEO's to stop making so much money, don't buy the products of their respective companies… Simple economics. Same concept goes for the athletes that get paid a lot of money.
Since the general public highly demands products like iphones and lebron james, those people profit.

1. If you founded the company what you make it what you take I have no problems with that – after ALL the board can one day try to kick you out of the empire you built from the ground up.
2. If you have to lay-off fire a large percentage of your work force to get to the "profit number" foul… you should not make as much.
3. If you a fired from company cause you ran it into the ashes, you should get a go home check but it should NOT be the gross amounts these people get. HD 250mil/ GS275Mil "just to leave"
4. The workers in the company/producers should be enriched ever time the CEO is period. If he/she makes money then all should. If the company fails to turn a profit… better luck next year.
5. If any of you would not take a job making 9.5 mill a year for 5-6 years and then cannot work for a few years for $1 a year, then you have an addiction you need to take care of…that is always a joke to me. Make 55,000-75, 0000 then say you will take the one dollar and I will be impressed.

Hey Chris – As someone who sees half (48%) a paycheck disappear every week, I think the only person who is stealing my money is Obama. Last time I checked, I willingly gave my money to Dell, Oracle, and Starbucks for their fine products.

You're damn right these CEOs deserve what they made. Look at Apple under Steve Jobs. It has become a giant. Is he solely responsible? No. But I can guarantee you that Apple wouldn't have survived, let alone thrived had anyone else taken the reigns in 1997.
These individuals are responsible for companies that employ thousands (maybe even hundreds of thousands) of employees. They are the engine of the world's economy. Anyone who says they don't deserve what they make is nothing more than a petty, jealous dolt who can't get over looking in to other people's pockets for something to get angry about.
July 27th, 2010
4:16 pm
Concerning compensation for CEOs I find it humorous that many say they deserve it because of the
long hours. Our military men, firemen, and policemen in many respects work under much more stressful circumstances for a minute amount of the money they make. Also, I dare say Tony Heyward deserves the large buy out he gets. Also, the bonuses given by these CEOs to the hard workers on Wall Street is for the ability to destroy our 401 K's with a Harvard education. They are
the only people in our society that can lay off or outsource millions of jobs an be considered brilliant. The only group with as much arrogance and self serving interest reside inside the Beltway.

Earning It,
Since the top income tax rate is 35 percent, only on income above $373,650, it's safe to say that you have no idea what percentage of your income you pay in taxes. Find out which tax bracket you're in (I doubt that you know), divide by two, and that might be fair estimate (otherwise look on your 1040 and divide total taxes paid by total income).
Also, not only has Obama not raised your taxes (and won't unless you earn more than $250,000/year), but he cut your taxes last year.
I know that facts are unlikely to persuade you, but I thought it might be worth a try.
July 27th, 2010
4:18 pm
MTA- there are people in the world that can't understand why anyone would need to make more than your $20k to live on too, so quit your whining. It's the high pay that motivates people to strive to build/create/accomplish the things they have. It's called CAPITALISM and with it comes advances in every area of life for everyone. Without it we would still be living in the Dark Ages because there would be no motivation to do any of the above mentioned.
July 27th, 2010
4:21 pm
@ MTA, how can you complain about what these guys make, these were the nerds that a lot of us picked on in school, and now most of us work our 9 to 5's and complain while they enjoy the good life, I guess we all know who got the last laugh. case in point, be carreful who you make fun of and pick on, they might be your boss one day.
July 27th, 2010
4:26 pm
Unless they are stealing the money from us it's not really any of our business how much money they make. We can talk about sharing the profits with the employees all we want but how many employees would be willing to give up pay if the company made less money? The vast majority of those making over 250k are small business owners, they are the ones that create most of the jobs in this country.
Chris, yes the top income rate is 35%, you forgot about social security, state taxes and other taxes that hit those that make more. As far as Obama not raising the taxes on others you need to read more. He may not hit you with a direct income tax but there are a ton of other taxes coming our way that will hit everyone. If you don't like people making more than you try finding a job from a poor person.
July 27th, 2010
4:27 pm
There's a reason top athletes and CEO's make the money they do. They can generate much more for someone else, so they're paid for their skill sets. I can't put 30,000 people in the stands at Turner Field at $20 a seat to watch me play baseball so no one within the Braves' organization is willing to pay me several million bucks. I don't blame them. If someone's paid alot it's because someone else figures they can make alot off of them. Come on folks wake up. If I was convinced that a person could make my business $10 million if I would pay them $1 million, I would jump on it. So would anyone else.
July 27th, 2010

Is George Clooney worth 20 Million a movie? Is P-Diddy worth 10 Million an album? Is Albert Pulhols worth 20 Million a season? Is Al Gore worth the 100 Million he has received since ending his tenure as VP?
Funny how the media always attacks the big business guys but the entertainers, and politicians, are always given a free pass.
July 27th, 2010
4:33 pm
Someone is worth what someone else is willing to pay them. If the one paying the salary makes a bad decision then that's their fault and they pay the price.
July 27th, 2010
4:34 pm
I didn't forget about SS, state taxes,… He said 48 percent is coming out of his paycheck, and you can add those federal income, payroll and state taxes and there's no way that his his taxes even approach 48 percent. Go home, look at your tax return, and do the math. You pay less than you think—much less.
I'd be curious to know what the ton of taxes coming our way consist of. I'm looking forward to the learning the details.
By the way, anybody who claims that I don't like people making more money than me didn't read what I said very closely.

I wonder if the owners of these companies, the shareholders, would have granted these payouts IF they had a vote. That might be a nice addition to the next financial reform bill in another 20 years or so.
July 27th, 2010
4:48 pm
Funny you should mention that.
"The Act requires public companies to provide their shareholders periodically with a non-binding vote ("say-on-pay") on the compensation of their executives, as well as on "golden parachute" severance arrangements in connection with mergers and other similar transactions."
It's non-binding, but it is intended to put pressure on the Board and improve transparency. It's a start, anyway.
July 27th, 2010
4:50 pm
Chris – please stop spouting the Obama taking points of Obama not raising your taxes unless you make more then $250K/year. First of all, for the poor saps who enjoy smoking and tanning, they've been hit with huge tax increases. OK, those are outliers, but they still count.
Second, when Obama and his minions in congress let the Bush tax cuts expire, EVERYBODY is going to see an increase. The child deductions will go from $800 per child to $500. TAX INCREASE. The 10% rate will increase to 15%, 15% will increase to 28%, 31% will inrease to 36%, and 35% will increase to 39%. TAX INCREASE. If you don't think those will affect people making less than $250K/year, you are an idiot.
Third, and perhaps the most important – is that Obama's anti business environment has created uncertainty in the market, and when businesses see uncertainty, they sit on their hands and tend not to invest in goods/services or people.
So go ahead and spout the DNC talking points. The rest of us have wised up and will be fixing your mistake in Nov 2010 and 2012.

they are stealing money from you, if you are a shareholder. with the exception of jobs the rest are totally useless figureheads.
what has oracle ever done except gobble up rivals to grow? what is so difficult about buying your competitor? their erp systems are garbage.
these guys are so good right well what happened to that d-bag from GE who became the CEO of home depot and later one of the auto companies? (this guy was supposed to be the next jack welch, lmfao)
These guys are glorified admins. there are others doing the nuts and bolts work that brings in the money.
The most difficult thing is to find a CEO without an ego who will not screw up.
It ain't rocket science. if you sell expensive crap that no one needs, no one will buy it.
July 27th, 2010
4:58 pm
Oh, and I forgot about the numerous other tax increases we'll all see when the Obama Tax Increase goes in to effect in 2011. This page does a good job of running them down.
July 27th, 2010
4:59 pm
I find it very interesting that the media and anyone who is anti-business or anti-capitalism despises these CEO's. They do not force their companies to pay them. The CEO's enter into agreement with the company's Board of Directors, the share holders or found the company themselves, ie. Larry Ellison. Why do we fault these people? Are we jealous of there income. I worked over 5000 hours last year made less than $70,000, but I do not hold a grudge against them. Maybe those of you that hate these individuals should look at yourself for blame and not someone else.
July 27th, 2010
5:03 pm
First, What poor saps have been hit with huge tax increases? What tax increases? You have no idea, do you?
Second, the increases you detailed would, in fact, effect people making less than $250,000/year. The problem with your argument is that the lower rates and child deductions aren't going up. Those cuts will not be allowed to expire.
Third, and most important, business isn't expanding because of one reason and one reason only—they need more customers.
So go ahead and spout your right wing talking points, but when you vote to re-elect the same corrupt crowd that took our economy into the sewer in the first place, you will have been voting out of ignorance.

Why is it that the liberal MSM and others get so upset over how much another person makes? I bet if any of these class envy card players were making this kind of money, they wouldn't be complaining, save for how much of it is being looted by taxes. The point is if folks would focus on what they're making and strive to make more, they wouldn't care how much multimillionaire CEOs or professional athletes earn. Granted, I personally don't believe any human being is worth this kind of money – Exhibit A: Wall Street bank failures. But, who am I to dictate how much another person earns? If an individual takes the risk of starting his own company and builds it so that it becomes a powerhouse in its industry, then that person is entitled to the riches it generates. After all, that person (or partners) took the risk. The whiners didn't. Exhibit B: Bill Gates and Microsoft. The beauty about American capitalism is if you don't like something about a company, its CEO or how much (or little) it pays its employees, you don't have to buy its stock or its products. I believe Wal Mart is one of the greatest business success stories ever told. But I also believe they treat their employees like crap and they extort price concessions from their suppliers and vendors. Do I care how much net profit they make each year? No. I don't contribute to it because I choose to spend my income elsewhere. It's a very simple concept. If I decided I don't agree with Bill Gates' politics, well there's Dell, HP and Apple. Don't like BP because of the oil spill and the millions it's giving to its ousted CEO, well there's Exxon and others. Nike products cost a great deal because of celebrity athlete endorsements. Well, Adidas, New Balance, Puma may earn my money. It's all about choice and thank God we have it in America. Capitalism isn't perfect, but it sure beats the hell out of socialism and communism.

There have been 2 athletes in history that made a billion dollars (Tiger Woods and Michael Schumacher) but it seams more common with CEOs.
I don't have a problem with people making large amounts of money, what bothers me is their success comes at the cost of their own employees and country man. Every peace of equipment in your i-phone was made in China. Most likely 80% of all the stuff in your house, from TVs, computers to clothing and even your toothbrush are made in countries where labor laws don't exist and wages are criminal. I think you could live just as comfortable on a $100.000.000 as on a billion but think how many jobs could be created with a billion dollars. That would increase buying power in your own backyard and would not force you to make shady background deals with third world countries.
What about all the banking CEOs did anyone of them give their salary back after almost ruining the country, I don't think so, in fact many got bonus paid from the bail-out money.

While you believe that Bush's presidency was the next best thing since color tv, how do you think we will pay off the deficit we are in? If you dont think that a tax increase will help reduce the deficit we find ourselves in, then I shudder to think about the way you plan on "fixing your mistake" in Nov 2010 and 2012.
I am guessing you are republican and till date I havent seen any credible explanation on how Bush's tax cuts helped turn a surplus (from when he took over from Clinton) to the gargantuan deficit that he handed off (convinently) to Obama.
Or how Bush's tax cuts created such a favorable economic climate that essentially triggered the worst economic recession!

No anger issues here, or a trust fund. Also, no whining and envy for what I did not earn. I can see that thought is foreign to a moron, like you, that thinks they should have all the riches and benefits, without doing the work that it takes to earn it. Go back to your sad little TV and mope about opportunities not realized. I will just keep on working for it, and yes, I deserve to keep it, without being pilfered by "entitled" twits that are too lazy to do it themselves. You know, people like YOU.

Chris! If your income is calculated on earnings from dividends, bonus pay, and commission, you WILL exceed 35%! It's a hard fact. Flat tax is the only "fair" tax.

"I can see that thought is foreign to a moron, like you, that thinks they should have all the riches and benefits, without doing the work that it takes to earn it."
Nope. It's the CEOs who earn 300 times more than their average employee and 280 times more than they deserve who believe they should have all the riches and benefits without earning it—at the expense of the investors and employees who also contributed.
Incidentally, refusing to idolize those who enrich themselves via greed and corruption, as you do, doesn't equate to "envy for what I did not earn."
Best of luck dealing with your anger management issues, shaggy.

I never said they did not work hard & deserve to make a large salary. But they ALWAYS receive a bonus when the company does well. They should ALSO contribute to the pain when the company falls on hard times – not just the front end employees! Just sick and tired of theses gold-ole-boys receiving their corporate welfare bonuses just because they out-source jobs & lay off people! What we need is to out-source CEO jobs to well educated people from other countries.

Chris, MTA, and the other whiners,
Copy/paste example of whining jealousy (Chris) and moronic logic (MTA).
Folks, let's just be glad that twits like these will never actually succeed at anything meaningful or challenging. They will forever be sitting on a worn out couch, watching TV, that is when they aren't looking in the mirror of life and wondering why it passed them by. It's always someone else's fault, right Chris-MTA???

In central Provence, it's the landscapes rather than the towns that dominate. The gentle hills and tranquil villages of the Haut-Var make for happy exploration by car or bike, before the foothills of the Alps close in around the citadelle town of Sisteron and Dignes-les-Bains further east.
The most exceptional geographical feature is the Gorges du Verdon – Europe's answer to the Grand Canyon. So long as you have your own transport, good bases for exploring the majestic peaks, cliffs and lakes of this spectacular area include the small market town of Aups, south of the Gorges, and to the northeast, Castellane, a centre for sports and activities.Read More
The Gorges du Verdon
The Gorges du Verdon
Also widely known as the Grand Canyon du Verdon, the breathtaking beauty and majesty of the Gorges du Verdon almost matches its American counterpart, albeit on a much smaller scale. Peppered with spectacular viewpoints, plunging crevices up to 700m deep, and glorious azure-blue lakes, the area is absolutely irresistible; try not to leave Provence without spending at least a day here. The river falls from Rougon at the top of the gorge, disappearing into tunnels, decelerating for shallow, languid moments and finally exiting in full, steady flow at the Pont du Galetas. Alongside, the huge artificial Lac de Sainte-Croix is great for swimming when the water levels are high; otherwise the beach becomes a bit sludgy.
With so many hairpin bends and twisting, narrow roads, it takes a full, rather exhausting day to drive right round the Gorges. Many visitors choose instead between tracing either its north or south rim. The entire circuit being 130km long, this is cycling country only for the preternaturally fit.
Local outfitters and guides offer activities including climbing, rafting, canoeing, canyoning, cycling and horseriding.

Facebook Exporter for Aperture
I've wanted to recently upload some of my pictures to Facebook. However,there are several things I really dislike about Aperture's built-inFacebook syncing.
First, order is not preserved. I want pictures ordered in a predicableway. Often, by date. I have yet to figure out how Aperture chooses toexport, it seems to be quite random and is infuriating.
Second, tagging friends on Facebook from the built-in Aperture Faces is spotty, at best. Sometimes it works, and other times I get lots ofpictures with people's names tagged, but those names are not linked tothe proper Facebook friends, despite being tagged with the exact samename. Again infuriating!
Third, making any change in Aperture (adding a tag, etc), causes thephoto to be re-uploaded to Facebook, creating an updated photo albumfeed story. I don't want this behavior. I want to export my photos toFacebook and then choose when it should be updated again. I'll let you guess my emotion.
So, what other options are there out there? Well, thisguy Sean Farley created a plugin. However, it is broken on my computer. Supposedly, it does work for some people on Aperture 3, but Icannot get it to even show up in the Export menu and I get no Consolemessages. I've even emailed Sean twice trying to contact him and help figureout why it is broken. No response.
Finally, I've given up with these options. I'm not a prolific Facebookphoto uploader, but there are times when I want to put up pictureson Facebook instead of Flickr. And I couldn't do it withoutexporting the photos from Aperture to my disk, and then using Facebook's photo upload.
So over the past couple weeks, I spent some time creating my own exportplugin for Aperture. I don't want to completely support this project(beyond having it work for me), and so I decided to release it on github for the benefit of the community. My goalis that someone else will find the code and project useful. There arecurrently several limitations (documented on github) and I'm surethere are bugs, but I've got the project to a stable enough point where I can upload photos to Facebook and am happy with where I've gotten it.Check out the github page for more information on getting the pluginand using it.

There is possibly no better place to observe anger in action than behind a closed door in a human resources department, as I did when I worked as a corporate HR executive. As the industries I worked in faced unprecedented challenges, I saw firsthand how raw or suppressed anger stalled careers, poisoned critical relationships, mucked up projects, killed creativity, and affected physical health.
An awful lot of us are angry right now: about mid-career layoffs, the difficulty of finding work when you're no longer young, or just the realization that the plans we made at 20 no longer fit our dreams. (Google "anger and unemployment" and you get 10 million hits!)
Anger is often a coping mechanism for other emotions like sadness, fear, and shame—and like Glenn Close's character in Fatal Attraction, it won't be ignored. Those who try to cover it up or deny it tend to find themselves metaphorically boiling bunnies without knowing why.
Anger, like any emotion, is really an invitation to examine your deepest and most immediate needs. When you choose to accept that invitation, you take the first step of the journey to the center of your heart—and your life's work. Here are three steps that can help transform anger into your own personal magic.

- Dual-sided—enjoy great cooking versatility from your kitchen or camp stove
- Fits over two propane or gas burners
- Flat on one side, ridged on the other
- Pre-seasoned cast iron construction—durable and ready to cook out of the box
Manufacturer model #: LDP3.
Introducing Lodge Logic: Ready-to-use cast-iron cookware, pre-seasoned for consistent performance!
For more than 100 years, Lodge has been perfecting the process of making cast-iron cookware, formulating the perfect metal chemistry to create durable cookware with incredible heat retention and distribution. In the past, the seasoning process was never complete until someone cooked countless batches of fried chicken, catfish and cornbread in the pan or pot to burnish it to a black patina, creating a piece of cookware that could be handed down like an heirloom. Lodge Logic removes the waiting, thanks to a newly-developed seasoning process. Lodge's electrostatic spray system applies a proprietary vegetable oil combination to deeply penetrate the pores of the iron. The result? Seasoned cast-iron cookware from Lodge you can use it right out of the box.

Non-generic GetView with a view that uses a reduce function
Hi, I'm new to Couchbase and I'm having a little trouble using the non-generic GetView in the 1.2 .NET Library. I'm using the example Beer class shown here http://www.couchbase.com/develop/net/next, and my view function is:
function (doc) { if(doc.type == 'beer') { emit([doc.brewery, doc.name], null); } }
With a _count reduce using group level 1.
And here is the code to get the view and iterate through it.
var view = client.GetView("beers", "by_brewery_and_name").GroupAt(1).Group(true); foreach (var row in view) { // do something }
When I go to run the code it throws an unhandled exception:
Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The value 'id' was not found in the row definition. at Couchbase.CouchbaseView.__Row..ctor(CouchbaseView owner, IDictionary`2 row) in C:\dev\couchbase-net-client-build\src\Couchbase\CouchbaseView.cs:line 49 at Couchbase.CouchbaseView.b__0(JsonReader jr) in C:\dev\couchbase-net-client-build\src\Couchbase\CouchbaseView.cs:line 29 at Couchbase.CouchbaseViewBase`1.d__0`1.MoveNext() in C:\dev\couchbase-net-client-build\src\Couchbase\CouchbaseViewBase.cs:line 104
Am I doing something wrong? Or can you not iterate through an IView that uses a reduce function?
I am facing exactly the same problem.
Did you find a way to solve it?
Thanks in advance
It's a bug in the .NET 1.2 preview. John's working on it. http://www.couchbase.com/issues/browse/NCBC-51
Hi All,
Actually i have an query on ,"How to pass parameter from front end by using GetView",Because wr are not going to do any hard coding in CouchDB so please help me to get the result.
var result = c.GetView("design Name", "View Name").Where("empName ="Amjkj000").AsQueryable();
it doesn't work ,
So if any body has getting this type of knowledge please revert me the code.

Television Review: 'Too Big to Fail'
"Too Big to Fail," which premieres Monday on HBO, is the latest of that network's high-toned original films ("Recount," "The Late Shift," "From the Earth to the Moon," the upcoming "Game Change") in which a large cast of medium-big-to-big-named actors assume the skin of the real people to put you backstage at history. In this case — the story of the 2008 financial meltdown and the attempt to keep us all from ruin — the paint is barely dry on the actual events. Indeed, their ongoing consequences will affect the next election.

The cost of doing nothing
When questioned about state funding of education, I have often said the cost of ignorance is far greater than the cost of educating young people in Texas. One only has to compare our prison system to our schools. We pay as much as $40,000 a year to incarcerate a young person and $8,746 per year to teach one. Even so, our legislature seems intent on continuing to squeeze both public and higher education. The cost of Texas being without an adequately prepared workforce in the next generation will be a tremendously high, the price paid for doing nothing.
A similar situation exists with our highways. Basically, our highway tax is a gasoline tax that was based on our needs more than 20 years ago. Our current leadership, because of their aversion to being accused of passing new taxes, has chosen to borrow money for a highway program through a bonding program, which represents a major departure from longstanding Texas policy of not going into debt for ongoing needs of the state.
Unfortunately, not only has our motor fuel tax proved to be inadequate for modern times, but our bonding program has also been exhausted. The future of our state highways looks terribly bleak. It is even questionable as to whether or not our current funding levels will be able to maintain the highway system that once was the envy of the nation.
It seems our current legislature and state leadership does not mind taking money from the pockets of Texas taxpayers so long as it is not called a tax. College tuition has almost tripled, cost of electric services doubled and almost every state license has increased in cost. Money for construction of new highways seems to be OK so long as it is called a toll or user fee.
Estimates from groups knowledgeable about Texas' transportation needs indicate that necessary maintenance of freeway exchanges will cost more than $250 million, which involves widening existing urban freeways $11 million per lane mile, and rehabilitation of disintegrating farm-to-market roads at $1.5 million per lane mile. Clearly, the future cost to Texas' economy will be staggering if nothing is done.
Adding to the inadequacy of a motor fuel tax passed more than 20 years ago is the fact automobiles, due to federal regulation, are using less and less fuel per mile. Many costs associated with the lack of adequate roads and highways in Texas include time wasted by sitting in traffic, the adverse effect on the state's environment due to huge urban traffic jams, lives lost because of the lack of safe roadways, and serious accidents, which are estimated to cost $6.5 billion each year.
Our legislature needs to revamp and modernize our tax system. It is certainly past time for our elected officials to take a realistic look at the future of Texas and make a reasonable increase in the motor fuel tax in order to maintain the level of transportation services now available to Texans. Spending money for a future, modern highway system is not a waste, but an investment.
Carl Parker has practiced law in Port Arthur since 1958. He is a 1958 graduate of the University of Texas School of Law. Elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1962 and the Senate in 1976, Parker continued to practice law while writing and sponsoring hundreds of bills that became laws relating to every aspect of life in Texas, including many regarding consumer safety. His e-mail is cap1934 [at] aol [dot] com.
It's Only Money . . . But It's Always More
Tax expenditures per student have been going up for more than a decade . . . but the outcome of exemplary levels achieved has been sliding.
Government involvement, both direct and indirect, has caused gasoline prices to increase; thus, increasing the fuel taxes incurred by the consumer . . . fuel taxes that were supposed to be allocated solely to the interests and needs of highway and transportation . . . yet the original intentions as directed and promised by the government have strayed.
Otherwise, whether it is at the city, county, state or national level, how much taxes are enough? Will there really ever be enough taxes for any government entity thirsty for supreme power . . . and, of course, for your best interests? When was the last time a government entity has been honest in their efforts to adhere to a prioritized, balanced budget . . .in a transparent manner? Or, considered that a fair tax system would be one in which everyone participated and not one that would incorporate cronyism and could so easily facilitate fraud, waste and abuse?
Otherwise, it should be fully understood that (1) the US Treasury and Federal Reserve facilitates the act of printing hundreds of billions in paper dollars backed by 'faith' while artificially keeping interest rates low (2) The federal government carries a deficit in excess of 16 trillion dollars that could realistically be on the path to default (3) the state of Texas debt stands at 274 billion (4) combined tax revenues for state and federal are coming up short 3/4 to 1 trillion per year . . . . all of which adds up to the understanding that 'we' already have problem #1 that needs to be addressed, not continually ignored. . . before figuring out how to spend even more 'money of faith'.
And, if one really believes that a government ever 'invests' money, then it is time to find a qualified investment/financial advisor that has an exemplary track record.

At the Isle of Wight Festival, Dylan was the only monster on the bill capable of attracting a monster of an audience. In refusing to play the Woodstock Festival and in then letting himself be talked into playing the Isle of Wight, Dylan in effect was telling England's counterculture: ''C'mon. Let's hold our own Woodstock.'' And so, on the Isle of Wight, a dot of land that certainly wasn't the easiest place in the world to get to, Dylan almost single-handedly proved an enticing enough attraction to collect an audience sometimes estimated to be as few as a 125,000 and sometimes as many as 250,000.My Dylan Papers: Part 2 The Isle of Wight

If you find any of my articles witty, enjoyable, provocative, infuriating, aggravating, insightful or educational--then my work here is half way done.

Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of Colorado scorecards, email suggestions to email@example.com.
Please see our writing guidelines if you would like to add results from an individual scorecard to this legislator's profile.

Critical View is Hennepin Theatre Trust's student reviewer program!
Posted by Christopher Cartwright on September 24, 2014 at 10:11pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
The Tony Awards are in June, Academy Awards are in February/March, and the Grammy Awards are in January. But even in the later weeks of September, the Twin Cities theatre scene was vibrant and alive with the annual Ivey Awards! This year being its 10th year, it was an extra special event and, of course, drew actors, directors, playwrights, and theatre fans alike to walk across the red carpet into the beautiful State Theatre.
I hadn't been to the Ivey Awards since 2007, and all I…Continue

Awards, performances, stage combat, singing, and weird humor filled the evening for those attending the Twin Cities Ivey Awards on Monday, September 22 at the State Theatre in downtown Minneapolis. The Ivey Awards are the Twin Cities' theater awards, much like a smaller version of the Tony Awards.
The evening started out with an introductory video of previous Ivey highlights, which was played before the lights were dimmed, so not much attention was given to it. Then, Theatre Latte…Continue

The Ivey's are a place where people celebrate and acknowledge the heroes of theater in the Minneapolis area. The awards show gets its name from The Ivey restaurant. This was the hottest place to be after a show in the 1900's. After hundreds of awards have been handed out to very deserving actors and artists around the community over many years, I was given the most fortunate opportunity to attend the…Continue

The New Electric Baloney
Confusion is just an unpleasant realm of thought. The New Electric Ballroom is just that- confusing. Put on by the Frank Theatre company at the New Century Theatre, this drama with a hint of comedy is a sleepy, repetitive play. It conveys the story of three women living together. Two of the women are psychotic in a way that none of us knows, and the other is their informal caretaker. A fish delivery…Continue

"Don't you hate the "To Be Continued"s on TV? It's horrible when you sense the 'To Be Continued' coming. You know, you're watching the show, you're into the story. You know, there's like 5 minutes left and you realize 'Hey! They can't make it! Timmy's still stuck in the cave. There's no way they wrap this up in 5 minutes!'. I mean the whole reason you watch a TV show is because it ends. If I want a long, boring story with no point to it, I have my life. A comedian can't do that, see, I can't go 'a man walks into a bar with a pig under his arms. Can you come back next week?'"A commonly seen caption at the end of serial installments, especially when there's a cliffhanger. Like The End, but not so final. Contrast To Be Continued Right Now.
