Redistribution of income and wealth
|The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (December 2013)
Redistribution of income and wealth or redistribution of wealth is the transfer of income, wealth or property from some individuals to others caused by a social mechanism such as taxation, monetary policies, welfare, charity, divorce or tort law.[1] The desirability and effects of redistribution are actively debated on ethical and economic grounds. The subject includes analysis of its rationales, objectives, means, and policy effectiveness.[2][3]
Types of redistribution[edit]
Today, income redistribution occurs in some form in most democratic countries. In a progressive income tax system, a high income earner will pay a higher tax rate than a low income earner. The difference between the Gini index for an income distribution before taxation and the Gini index after taxation is an indicator for the effects of such taxation.
|Money is like muck, not good except it be spread.
—Francis Bacon, 'Of seditions and Troubles', Essays, 15.
Property redistribution is a term applied to various policies involving taxation or nationalization of property, or of regulations ordering owners to make their property available to others. Public programs and policy measures involving redistribution of property include eminent domain, land reform, inheritance tax and certain provisions found in family law.
Two common types of governmental redistribution of wealth are subsidies and vouchers (such as food stamps). These "transfer payment" programs are funded through general taxation, but disproportionately benefit the poor, who pay fewer or no taxes. While the persons receiving redistributions from such programs may prefer to be directly given cash, these programs may be more palatable to society, as it gives society some measure of control over how the funds are spent.[4]
Supporting arguments[edit]
The objectives of income redistribution are varied and almost always include the funding of public services. Supporters of redistributive policies argue that less stratified economies are more socially just.[5]
One basis for redistribution is the concept of distributive justice, whose premise is that money and resources ought to be distributed in such a way as to lead to a socially just, and possibly more financially egalitarian society. Another argument is that a larger middle class benefits an economy by enabling more people to be consumers, while providing equal opportunities for individuals to reach a better standard of living. Seen for example in the work of John Rawls,[citation needed] another argument is that a truly fair society would be organized in a manner benefiting the least advantaged, and any inequality would be permissible only to the extent that it benefits the least advantaged.
Some proponents of redistribution argue that capitalism results in an externality that creates unequal wealth distribution.[6] They also argue that economic inequality contributes to crime. There is also the issue of equal opportunity to access services such as education and health care. Studies show that a lower rate of redistribution in a given society increases the inequality found among future incomes, due to restraints on wealth investments in both human and physical capital.[7] Roland Benabou states that greater inequality and a lower redistribution rate decreases the likelihood that the lower class will register to vote.[7] Benabou does not find a relationship between levels of inequality and government welfare transfers to the needy.[7]
Some[who?] argue that wealth and income inequality are a cause of economic crises, and that reducing these inequalities is one way to prevent or ameliorate economic crises, with redistribution thus benefiting the economy overall. This view was associated with the underconsumptionism school in the 19th century, now considered an aspect of some schools of Keynesian economics; it has also been advanced, for different reasons, by Marxian economics. It was particularly advanced in the US in the 1920s by Waddill Catchings and William Trufant Foster.[8][9]
A system with no redistribution of wealth which adds some measure of redistribution may actually experience a Pareto Improvement, meaning that no persons within the system are worse off and at least one person is better off. Such an outcome is most likely if all high-income people in the system are altruistic in nature, in that they derive some economic utility in giving to the poor. For example, a rich person may experience more utility from giving $100 to the poor than they would have gained had they spent $100 on something for themselves. The poor person receiving the $100 will also be better off. In addition to altruistic reasons, rich persons may support governmental redistribution of wealth: 1) as a form of insurance policy (should they ever become poor, the policy pays off and they are able to collect benefits from the government); or 2) because it improves social stability (lowers crime and rioting among poor people), allowing rich persons to more easily enjoy the benefits of their wealth.[10]
One is the social welfare function, or the concept that society's utility is made up in some way through the utilities of its individuals. The 'Max-Min' or 'Maximin Criterion' for social welfare explains this concept:
This states that the utility of society (W) is dependent on that of the least (min) individual (Yi), or in terms of income, the poorest individual.
Economic effects[edit]
Using statistics from 23 developed countries and the 50 states of the US, British researchers Richard G. Wilkinson and Kate Pickett show a correlation between income inequality on the one hand and higher rates of health and social problems (obesity, mental illness, homicides, teenage births, incarceration, child conflict, drug use), and lower rates of social goods (life expectancy, educational performance, trust among strangers, women's status, social mobility, even numbers of patents issued per capita), on the other.[12] The authors argue inequality leads to the social ills through the psychosocial stress, status anxiety it creates.[13]
A 2011 report by the International Monetary Fund by Andrew G. Berg and Jonathan D. Ostry found a strong association between lower levels of inequality and sustained periods of economic growth. Developing countries (such as Brazil, Cameroon, Jordan) with high inequality have "succeeded in initiating growth at high rates for a few years" but "longer growth spells are robustly associated with more equality in the income distribution."[14][15]
Supply-side economics is a school of macroeconomic thought that argues that economic growth can be most effectively created by lowering barriers for people to produce (supply) goods and services, such as lowering income tax and capital gains tax rates, and by allowing greater flexibility by reducing regulation. According to supply-side economics, consumers will then benefit from a greater supply of goods and services at lower prices. Typical policy recommendations of supply-side economists are lower marginal tax rates and less regulation.[16] Many economists view supply-side as an ill-conceived economic theory.[citation needed] Critics of supply-side economics point to the lack of academic economics credentials by movement leaders such as Jude Wanniski and Robert Bartley to imply that the theories behind it are bankrupt.[17][18] Economist Paul Krugman published a book dedicated to attacking the theory, and Reaganomics, under the title Peddling Prosperity. Mundell in his The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel acceptance lecture (awarded for unrelated work in optimum currency area) countered that the success of price stability was proof that the supply-side revolution had worked. The continuing debate over supply-side policies tends to focus on the massive federal and current account deficits, increased income inequality and its failure to promote growth.[19]
The Pigou–Dalton principle is that redistribution of wealth from a rich person to a poor person reduces inequality, so long as the order is not switched (the initially richer person is not made poorer than the initially poorer person: they are brought together and not switched). Hugh Dalton suggested further that, assuming no effects other than transfer, such transfers increase collective welfare, because the marginal utility of income or wealth to a rich person is less than that to a poor person. Maximal welfare is achieved if all have equal wealth or income. Dalton's analysis sets aside questions of economic efficiency: redistribution may increase or decrease overall output—it may grow or shrink the pie, not simply change how it is divided.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that extending the Bush tax cuts of 2001–2003 beyond their 2010 expiration would increase deficits by $1.8 trillion over the following decade.[20] The CBO also completed a study in 2005 analyzing a hypothetical 10% income tax cut and concluded that under various scenarios there would be minimal[clarification needed] offsets to the loss of revenue. In other words, deficits would increase by nearly the same amount as the tax cut in the first five years, with limited feedback revenue thereafter. Through increased budget deficits, the tax cuts primarily benefiting the wealthy[clarification needed] will be paid for—plus interest—by taxes borne relatively evenly by all taxpayers.[21] The paper points out that these projected shortfalls in revenue would have to be made up by federal borrowing: the paper estimates that the federal government would pay an extra $200 billion in interest over the decade covered by the paper's analysis.[22]
In the absence of negative externalities, the introduction of taxes into a market reduces economic efficiency by causing deadweight loss. In a competitive market, the price of a particular economic good adjusts to ensure that all trades which benefit both the buyer and the seller of a good occur. The introduction of a tax causes the price received by the seller to be less than the cost to the buyer by the amount of the tax. This causes fewer transactions to occur, which reduces economic welfare; the individuals or businesses involved are less well off than before the tax. The tax burden and the amount of deadweight cost is dependent on the elasticity of supply and demand for the good taxed. Most taxes—including income tax and sales tax—can have significant deadweight costs.
Prospect of Upward Mobility hypothesis[edit]
The Prospect of Upward Mobility (POUM) hypothesis is an argument that explains why some poor and working class voters do not support efforts by governments to redistribute wealth. It states that many people with below average income do not support higher tax rates because of a belief in their prospect for upward mobility.[24] These workers strongly believe that there is opportunity for either themselves, their children, or their grandchildren to move upward on the economic ladder.
There are three key assumptions that form the foundation for the POUM hypothesis. First, one must assume that policies that are enacted in the present will endure into the future and carry enough weight to impact the future.[24] Second, one must assume that poorer workers are "not too risk averse".[24] This assumption rests on the fact that the people in question must realize that their income may also go down instead of up. Finally, poor workers must have an optimistic view of their future, as they expect to go from poorer than the average to richer than average.[24]
After much analysis of the POUM hypothesis, Benabou and Ok recognize two key limitations. One limitation is that other potential problems that create more concavity in the POUM system, such as risk aversion, must not increase too much.[24] Concavity must be kept at a minimum to ensure that the POUM hypothesis generates the expected results. The other limitation is that there must be adequate commitment to the choice of fiscal policy including the government and institutions.[24]
Conservative, libertarian and neoliberal arguments against property redistribution consider the term a euphemism for theft or forced labor, and argue that redistribution of legitimately obtained property cannot ever be just.[25] Public choice theory states that redistribution tends to benefit those with political clout to set spending priorities more than those in need, who lack real influence on government.[26]
In the United States, some of the founding fathers and several subsequent leaders expressed opposition to redistribution of wealth. During his own attempt to make a case for helping French refugees from the Haitian Revolution,[27] James Madison, author of the Constitution, wrote, "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."[28]

Flint >Food & Dining > Bill Thomas' Halo Burger Inc
800 S Saginaw St, Flint, MI | Directions 4850243.013107 -83.688321
Great onion rings – I remember as a kid growing up in Flint that the onion rings were awesome. The burgers were good as well. Don't get back home much these days but I do get a Halo Burger every time. I also have to do the A&W or any other Coney joint because you can't get coney's in Florida!
1 of the BEST EVER!!! – Bill Thomas Halo Burger is one of the best hamburgers I have ever had. When living in California I always added a trip to Halo-Burger to the top of my things to do when coming home to Flint. The combination of fresh condiments and juicy ground beef pattie are wonderfull. Never overcooked and dry always juicy and flavorfull. They occasionally slather on the mayo, and mustard a little too much but it adds to the fun of trying to keep the juice in the burger. Olives and bacon add to the fun!!! Try one!!

Pair the iPhone Wallet with a Bag
From: Mohsen
Hi Gary,
Thank you very much. I just wanted to let you know that the order was received and i am typing and sending this email with the iPhone 5 inside the wallet.
i Love it...
Sent from my iPhone
From: Faye Purcell
Hi Gary,
Just wanted to drop you a line from sunny England! I've just received my new iPhone wallet, and I'm absolutely thrilled!
Not only is the product fantastic quality, it's so practical. I keep my iPhone in an otterbox to add extra protection so I wasn't sure how it get on inside the wallet, but it still works a treat! It's slightly more of a snug fit, but despite the raised edges, I can't still text and make calls.
So far everywhere I've gone I've been asked where I got my case from and ive happily passed your details on.
Once again, thank you for all your correspondence and the speedy delivery, I'm absolutely thrilled with my case.
Miss Faye Purcell
From: Lou Beeler
Just wanted to say thanks for getting the wallets to us so fast. I had been looking to replace my very worn out trifold wallet for some time,but couldn't find a wallet that would work. In spite of much effort to reduce the number, I still have 25+ cards to tote around. Most wallets I found either could not hold that many or it was pain to access the card desired. After a month of using it, I'm glad to say your design has worked out well. All the cards easily fit, and finding the card I want couldn't be less troublesome. I have never carried cash in my wallets as it in addition to the cards made the wallet near impossible to fold and most uncomfortable to have in a pants pocket. I have found with your design I can get cash, cards, and receipts in and its still slim enough to be carried comfortably in my pocket. Sorry for rambling, but I thought I would let you know I am satisfied with your product. Hopefully you will continue to make them, so when or if this one wears out I can purchase another.
Thanks again,
From: Nate
Hey Gary,
Wanted to drop you and your team a quick line to say 'BRAVO' on the new iPhone Wallet. In your video you describe your frustration of taking both your iPhone and wallet (which is great) with you, leading the way for the iPhone Wallet design. I have had the same issue after buying several wallets/cases/folio's ever since I bought the first iPhone long ago, but not really any of them have been what I was looking for. As a frequent customer of your site I saw this, and knew this could be the one... and after using it for a few weeks, it absolutely is 'the one'. It is simple, yet incredibly usable and extremely durable - all while looking great! I have the distressed leather version, and get compliments almost everyday. So thank you, and your team, for such an amazing product that is as elegant as it is functional. I would expect nothing less from WD ;)

Vivien Labaton is the director of strategic programme initiatives for The Atlantic Philanthropies.
Paradigm-shifting elections don't shift paradigms if there aren't corresponding social movements for change.
One thing we now know with certainty, more than two years into Barack Obama's presidency, is that change is an uphill battle. We're already defending hard-won gains on health care and financial reform (not to mention the fundamental legislation of the New Deal and the Great Society), and any hope for progress on civil liberties and immigration now seems remote. Even urgent action on jobs has been eclipsed by deficit-cutting zeal.
But this sobering period has also seen inspiring moments of push-back -- glimmers of hope that signal momentum on several core priorities for social-justice advocates. They could be fleeting, or they could signal a resurgence of the progressive engagement that captivated so many just three years ago. Whether such a revival emerges is up to us.

Interested in business? Looking for more accounting experience? Want to give back to the Madison community? Consider volunteering to help others prepare their taxes.Progress Through Business is a national non-profit focused on serving marginalized and economically challenged communities through business partnerships, networking and research to empower people towards financial security. They provide free tax preparation and financial literacy to low- and moderate- income residents in the Madison area, and are looking for dedicated people with a passion to serve. Especially needed are volunteer tax preparers late January through mid April. The program gives volunteers the opportunity to make a difference in the Madison community while gaining resume-building skills with practical applications.
Research shows that on average, Progress Through Business puts an extra $500 into the pockets of the taxpayers they serve in just forty-five minutes of volunteer assistance. For a low-income employee with an $11/hr wage this is comparable to a 3% increase in wage. This makes a big difference to members of the low-income community!
Currently, the organization is looking to recruit volunteers willing to train in basic tax prep around Nov/Dec and then assist filing taxes between late January and April 15. There is no cost to the volunteer to receive training and after successful completion of volunteer they can provide the volunteer with an excellent reference.
If you are interested in participating, contact Stephanie Thompson at 608.232.9000 x2253 or email@example.com

Joaquim Barbosa Gomes, the first Afro-Brazilian Justice on Brazil's Supreme Court, and three panelists praised a UCLA sociologist for his award-winning book. The panel discussed racial inequality in Brazil.
The son of a brick-maker, Joaquim Benedito Barbosa Gomes began working in the Brazilian court system as a janitor in the electoral tribunal in Brasilia. The court director heard him sing in English and later offered him a position at the congressional printing press. While working, he also studied, finally obtaining a doctorate in public law. He taught at the UCLA Law School from 2002 to 2003 as a visiting professor.
In 2003, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva appointed Barbosa Gomes to the country's Supreme Court, making him the first Afro-Brazilian Justice.
Barbosa Gomes returned to UCLA this month to participate in events hosted by the Latin American Center, the Law School, the Department of Sociology, and Social Sciences at UCLA.
On Jan. 16, 2007, he took part in a symposium at the Young Research Library on racial tensions in Brazil, viewed in the fresh light of a landmark study by UCLA Professor of Sociology Edward Telles. Barbosa Gomes and the other distinguished scholars on the panel—UC Berkeley Professor Steven Small and UCLA Professors Mark Sawyer and Andreas Wimmer—praised Telles for his award-winning Race in Another America: The Significance of Skin Color in Brazil (2003).
In his remarks, Barbosa Gomes credited Telles' book with altering the ongoing debate about race and equality in Brazil.
The book exposed the discrimination that penetrates Brazilian society and "paved the way for more significant discussions that were unthinkable before," Barbosa Gomes said. In particular, he added, Telles presented the legal system as a viable tool for establishing racial equality.
In his book, Telles concludes that there is a large discrepancy in material gains between whites and blacks. Interracial marriages and social bonds, Telles suggests, though more common in Brazil than the United States, often occur amongst the lower class and do not improve the material conditions of blacks.
Some universities and a few other institutions have adopted affirmative action policies, he added, just as Telles recommended. The Brazilian Justice did not elaborate because cases related to affirmative action are pending in the courts.
Other panelists praised Telles for using large amounts of empirical data and avoiding an American, or outsider, perspective. All said that Telles successfully debunked the myth of Brazil as a "racial democracy."
Sawyer said that the book captures "quotidian practices" of racism, while Small emphasized its impact on methodology in the social sciences, with its effective comparative approach.
While agreeing about the book's merits, Wimmer suggested that its reliance on census data, although necessary, limited the accuracy of comparisons between the United States and Brazil. Brazilians and Americans define "white" and "black" differently. Comparing these generic categories from census data can distort analysis, he said.
When Barbosa Gomes was asked by an audience member if he was optimistic about racial equality emerging in Brazil, he smiled before responding.
"I am entirely optimistic…. Now we live in a new era," he said.

Last April, Maine lawmakers passed a wild mushroom foraging law in an effort to rein in the unregulated practice and keep poisonous mushrooms off the market. It was the most extensive law of its kind in the nation, and required foragers to complete a training course before being allowed to sell their products to restaurants and retailers.
But eight months later, the law still has not been implemented. The program to certify wild mushroom foragers and brokers has not been put in place. An advisory board established by the law has yet to be formed.
Meanwhile, wild mushrooms are still being peddled to restaurants and retailers -- unchecked and unsupervised.
"I've had guys come in at 10 in the morning with beer on their breath (trying to sell wild mushrooms)," said Rob Evans, the James Beard award-winning chef who owns Duckfat in Portland. "I think that's the scary side that the state's trying to deal with."
But the problem, some say, is that the state isn't dealing with it.
The law charges the Department of Health and Human Services with setting up a training and exam program to certify wild mushroom foragers and brokers who sell to restaurants and retailers.
But Gov. Paul LePage hasn't appointed the advisory committee required to create the certification program. And those familiar with the law question whether it's possible to operate a certification program at all after LePage threatened to veto the law unless the certification fee was lowered from $200 to $20, which it eventually was.
"We can't put the course on," said Richard Grotton, president and CEO of the Maine Restaurant Association, who served on the task force that drafted the original bill. "We have a program in search of funding."
As the months tick by since the legislation was passed, suspect mushrooms continue to be shopped around to restaurants and retailers, and the burden remains on chefs and buyers to weed out any misidentified and poisonous varieties.
Estimates presented to lawmakers during the debate over the bill put the number of commercial foragers at 200. However, due to the unregulated nature of the industry and the "here today, gone tomorrow" ways of many amateur foragers, no one can say with certainty how many operate in Maine.
Chef David Ross of 50 Local examines a chanterelle picked in the woods of Kennebunk last year. Ross says too many rules may hurt suppliers.
Chefs including Andrew Taylor, who co-owns Hugo's and Eventide Oyster Co. in Portland, describe the current situation with mushroom foragers as the "wild, wild west."
Taylor said he's had foragers try to sell him misidentified mushrooms, but he never buys them because he has a working knowledge of wild mushrooms and only buys from two reliable sources.
He recalls a particular batch of misidentified mushrooms that a forager tried to sell to him as porcinis. He later learned that they were sold to another restaurant.
"They weren't poisonous," Taylor said. "Just inedible."
But some chefs aren't as knowledgeable as Taylor.
In 2008, two Portland chefs purchased what they thought were porcinis, an edible mushroom, from a forager. They were actually poisonous lilac brown boletes.
The boletes were never served to the public, but the chefs consumed them and were hospitalized. The incident led to the creation of the current law.

Prime Minister Lamothe on Tour: Lying to Keep Haiti "Open for Business"
By: Etant Dupain
Last week, Haiti's Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe traveled to United States in what he called an official trip, although what defines an "official" trip for the current Haitian government is unclear. During his entire trip, the prime minister's staff tweeted the details of his travels and speeches, making it obvious through the interaction with participants at various events that he is completely out of touch with the real situation in the country.
The way the Lamothe describes Haiti today is false and it is dangerous for the country. The propaganda being peddled to support the notion that "Haiti is open for business" doesn't match the reality. Is Lamothe incompetent or is he just a fool enjoying the privilege of being a Prime Minister in a government that is not serious about anything but getting more stamps on their passports and building their internet following?

For the past two seasons, Alabama has lost a game in November (LSU 2011, Texas A&M 2012), but managed to make the BCS National Championship Game with help from around the nation.
With the November stretch on the horizon, Saban was asked if his team could still make the title game with a late-season loss. But Saban didn't want to play the what-if game.
"I really can't answer that question because it's kind of hypothetical in terms of what's going to happen," Saban said. "I think the thing we can control here is to try to get our players to play the best that they can play, do the best job they possibly can in every game we play, focus on the things they need to do to play winning football against the very good football teams we have to play against coming up down the stretch here. That's what we're going to try to focus on."
Alabama will have its first test of the month when LSU rolls into town hoping to spoil the Crimson Tide's perfect season and a shot at a potential third straight national championship.
And, with so many remaining undefeated teams from major conferences, Tide quarterback AJ McCarron understand the team can't afford a loss.
"Probably not, but I'm not thinking about everybody else," he said. "I could care less about what their record is. It's no disrespect to them. They're all having great seasons, but we're worried about us and what we need to do to take care of business."
Added wide receiver Kevin Norwood: "No, we definitely couldn't afford any losses. November's always tough. It's a battle, especially when you've got LSU, State, Tennessee-Chattanooga, and Auburn. All those guys are just really good. November's a time where everybody's hurting. So everybody's got to get healthy and just come out and keep pushing for this last month."
Saban wants the Tide to approach its remaining games like a heavyweight fight.
"I think everybody's got to buy into that and everybody's got to do their job when it comes to that because in all of these games, it comes down to three or four plays," Saban said. "You never know when those plays are coming up so you've got to be in the right place every play.
"You've got to do it with a whole lot of effort and a whole lot of toughness because I can only tell you that every one of these games we play with these guys has been very, very physical. It's a little bit like a heavyweight fight and you certainly can't fade in any round."

Long Term - Photoshop Designer (UI/UX) who knows Photoshop/Illustrator and Javascript and HTML/5 CSS etc
Long Term - Photoshop Designer (UI/UX) who knows Photoshop/Illustrator and Javascript and HTML/5 CSS etc
Job Description
Hourly Rate: $1.00 - $3.00 per hour
---Majorly Web site designer with ability to create iphone/ipad compliant sites design from scratch and implement it in HTML/CSS/JS---
**Preferred location Bangladesh**
Hello Everyone,
We are in need of a long term go to guy, who can help out our team in Designing related work, as due to excess of load we are regularly outsourcing the work to contractors outside our tightly knit circle. But, now would prefer a/or more than one person to handle our requirement(by maintaining our quality that we deliver) and later on if things work out, then willing to be absorbed within our fold.
At, the moment we need a person who is good in Designing, eye-pleasing designs from SCRATCH, based on the inputs we give on (objective of site, end users who would be visiting the site, what kind of image and vibe that has to be projected) etc. and then create a great design thats standard compliant.
We, need someone who can visualize the need and come up with flow and design that would suit our thinking. It could be either for banner, web-site or logo. (But majorly for web-sites)
Please bear in mind its a job for "scratch designers" who make design from scratch and not "template modifier". So, apply judiciously.
Once the design is done, we would need you to slice it and integrate the UI/UX... so "great" knowledge of HTML/CSS/Javascript is necessary.
So, in all you should be a UI/UX developer/designer. As, you would be extensively dealing in Design integration on PHP and other platforms and would be asked to deal with HTML/JS/CSS for sites that would be shown on phones and pads(both apple's and google's).
Start your response with "6404" so that I know you have actually read the post. Applications that are posted without reading the instructions and devoid of information asked would be discarded after being marked spam. SO PLEASE bid only if you are serious. And, no template postings.
There should also be your sample list of work that can be verified and also your resume detailing about your style of work and experience.
Good luck & happy bidding.

History of the Hilton Humanitarian Prize
Inspired by Conrad Hilton's humanitarian legacy
As a tribute to Conrad N. Hilton's lifetime of international humanitarian efforts, the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize was established in 1996 by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. The Prize is awarded not to an individual, but to an organization—to recognize its extraordinary humanitarian contributions and to highlight the need for greater humanitarian aid in the world.
A prize to honor the philanthropic dimension of Conrad Hilton's life was suggested by Hilton Foundation Director James Galbraith. The Board saw an opportunity to mount an important and uplifting initiative. It proceeded down a thoughtful and professional exploratory pathway; it established a Prize Exploratory Committee under the chairmanship of Jim Galbraith, with Dyanne Hayes serving as staff support. The committee scanned the awards field, found that the original concept niche (giving funds to an organization, not an individual) was indeed unique, and formulated a plan of action.
When established, the $1 million Prize was the largest humanitarian award and one of the largest monetary prizes in any category—equal to the Nobel and Templeton Prizes. As the years passed, other new awards were established, some exceeding $1 million. In recent years, prizes have become a popular philanthropic tool to advance innovative and effective methods to address social needs.
In 2005, to recognize the 10th anniversary of the Prize and to factor in inflation, the Board increased the award to $1.5 million. This level maintains the Prize as the world's largest humanitarian award and sustains its rank as one of the world's largest monetary awards in any category. Use of award funds is unrestricted.
The world community of humanitarian organizations is involved in the Prize each year. A worldwide call for nominations has become something of a census of these organizations. "Every year, through the nomination and rigorous review process, we are privileged to learn of the incredible work being done throughout the world by hundreds of extraordinary organizations," comments Foundation Vice President Judy M. Miller, who is director of the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize. "It is inspiring to meet some of these people who are dedicating their lives to helping others, often at great personal sacrifice."
Seven jurors, serving one or more four-year terms, select the recipient. Five international jurors are chosen from among persons prominent in the humanitarian field. To help preserve the vision of the Prize program, the remaining two jurors are a Hilton family member and a Hilton Foundation Board member.
"I find the jury duty for this award to be a seriously enlightening experience," observes Juror Amartya Sen. "The process of selecting the prize winner for the Hilton Humanitarian award is remarkably thorough. I am always impressed—and often astonished—by the way a balanced assessment eventually emerges from extensive and interactive discussions with great colleagues on the competing achievements of potential prize winners."
Connecting humanitarian leaders
The Hilton Humanitarian Symposia were initiated in 1998 to focus attention on the humanitarian needs of the world. This annual international gathering of leading minds in the fields of humanitarianism and human rights is focused on solving critical global challenges and finding new ways to prevent and alleviate suffering. Since inception, the symposia has welcomed more than 100 eminent speakers and panelists and thousands of attendees, all of whom are specialists in their fields. In 2009, the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize Laureates were featured on a panel exploring collaboration in the field.

Jenelle Evans: Arrested For Heroin Possession, Assault on Courtland Rogersby Free Britney at .
Jenelle Evans of Teen Mom 2 has been arrested for heroin possession - 12 bindles' worth of the stuff - and assault on her husband Courtland Rogers.
Police discovered the small paper packets of drugs on Jenelle's possession when they arrived at her residence following an alleged domestic dispute.
The reality star was also found to be illegally in possession of prescription drug Percocet, along with illegal drug paraphernalia (papers and a pipe).
And then there's the assault charge, which came after Evans allegedly struck her spouse WITH A PIECE OF FURNITURE during a domestic dispute.
Courtland Rogers was arrested, as well, as he is believed to have hit Jenelle Evans on the neck on top of "striking her with a closed fist on her head."
Rogers just pleaded guilty days ago to assaulting Jenelle and their unborn child this winter, after which she miscarried and they split, but recently reconciled.
He's in a whole lot worse trouble this time around.
Rogers was also arrested for heroin - which he's accused her ex Kieffer Delp of getting her hooked on - with intent to sell, manufacture, and distribute.
Just last night on Teen Mom 2, viewers saw Evans and Delp procure what looked like heroin "with her last $70" after a huge blowout with her mom.
Barbara Evans has custody of Jenelle's three-year-old son Jace ... largely for this reason. Oh, and Jenelle Evans, 21, was also served with a warrant.
For failing to pay child support. Obviously.
Both Jenelle and Courtland Rogers denied possession of the heroin at the time of their arrest Tuesday, which seems like a dubious claim at best.
This is at least her sixth mug shot.
They are entitled to and will receive a vigorous defense as always - her attorney Dustin Sullivan is a busy, busy man - but she could be in DEEP here.

She can get sober..she just isn't ready yet. She hasn't hit bottom yet. When she stops blaming everyone else for her problems (i.e Kiefer got me hooked and shot me up) that may be a first step. In a way, this could be a good thing-maybe this will be her bottom as opposed to death. I truly hope for the best for her, as it is not too late. Don't ever give up on anyone in this situation.
There comes a time in someones life where you can no longer blame your childhood for your own mistakes. I can't judge Barbara because if my daughter was like that id lose it. She did the right thing. She obviously loves her daughter and grandson. So sad that Janelle couldn't have used the 1000 opportunities of help she's been offered. Why would anyone feel sorry for her. She wants drugs over dealing w her own *hit so her loss.
Wowwwwwww this is disgusting to me she needs to be taken off the show she's not a mother she has never taken care of Jace she belongs in a jail cell for the rest of her life. That poor child will google her name in a couple years and find out about all of this I wonder if she ever feels bad about doing these horrific things she's always been a drug addict but it's time for her to get her shit together. Sometimes I think if Barbara wasn't as supportive if she would have gotten her shit together sooner bc she would not have had a choice or if she would have continued to use. She doesn't deserve to even see her son. I wish I could punch her in the face and she should get her tubes tied. I can't imagine if she didnt have a "miscarriage" and she had another baby with courtland who is obviously a winner... That baby would have wounded up at Barbara's house anyway it's disgusting she is America's #1 worst mother
It should be no surprise. When you lie down with crud, you should expect to wake up smelling like crud. Like all of the teens on this series, she was convinced that she already "knew it all", so nobody could tell her anything. This is what can happen. As a familiar excuse, and like so many others, she tries to fall back on the "excuse" of "bipolar disorder", instead of growing up and taking responsibility for her life. She needs to be put away, at least until her son is legally an adult and can keep her biological mother away from him. At least then, he might have a chance at a normal type of life.

We like the idea of using a badger brush every time we shave—in theory. The reality is that sometimes shaving happens in a hurry. For those days (read: most), there's this creamy, brushless formula, which offers the same rich lather experience without all the equipment.
I have a pretty sensitive neck/chin area, and often have razor burn after a shave.
This shave cream really left me with a smooth shave. I loved it!
I love the way this shave cream makes my skin feel after i finish shaving. I would typically have a little razor burn when using other products.
This product not only reduced that but also left my skin feeling moisturized.
I would definitely buy again!
I like a nice full lather when I shave, and this product did not provide that for me. There are a number of better shave cream products on Birchbox. This one wasn't a winner.
This product is great. Easy to apply to and keeps the face lubricated through the whole shave. Also is great for sensitive skin like mine. Didn't have an issue with drying out this skin
I got this as a sample. There is no particular fragrance. This is less a shave cream in the foamy, or soap-like traditional sense. It is a bit greasier than a shave oil, which is why I didn't care for it. It clogs up my razor which induces a hassle to clean but it isn't impossible, and is more trouble than many other shaving products offered on Birchbox. My face didn't feel tingly after shaving . Not bad, but definitely not great. Maybe it is good for women and leg shaving.
The cream is perfect for a smooth shave. The product smell great and washes out of the razor easily. While pricey, a little goes a long way and last for much longer than anticipated.
Some creams can be too thick and clog the shaver blades. This product is light enough to provide the glide you want and the protection you need.
I like the product and the ease of use. I still think the lucky tiger cream shaving lotion is the best. I didnt like the container it is in for this use. I love the containers for other uses though.
A very good product, left my skin feeling very clean and smooth. Even conditioned beard quite well. However it does take a bit more water than other products to remove.
I LOVED this. This worked amazing. I have really sensitive skin and had no issues when I used this product. Was really bummed when I ran out of the sample. And with it being a little more on the pricey side, I struggling to fork over the cash for the full size product.

Just mention Canterbury, and most people are taken back to memories of high-school English classes and Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, about medieval pilgrims making their way to Canterbury Cathedral. Judging from the tales, however, in those days Canterbury was as much a party town as it was a spiritual center.
The city has been the seat of the Primate of All England, the archbishop of Canterbury, since Pope Gregory the Great dispatched St. Augustine to convert the pagan hordes of Britain in 597. The height of Canterbury's popularity came in the 12th century, when thousands of pilgrims flocked here to see the shrine of the murdered archbishop St. Thomas à Becket. This southeastern town became one of the most visited in England, if not Europe. Buildings that served as pilgrims' inns (and that survived World War II bombing of the city) still dominate the streets of Canterbury's center, though it's tourists who flock to this city of about 40,000 people today.
Prices at city museums are higher than average, so if you plan to see more than one, ask at the tourist office if a combination ticket might be cheaper.

Although the season may be over for the Cougars, it does not mean that there isn't hard work left to be done on the hardwood. This time though, Spanish Springs is starting at the introduction stages of the game.
In hopes of creating a passion for basketball in the area as well as establishing the Cougars' program beyond the high school level, Spanish Springs coach Kyle Penney started the Spanish Springs Youth Developmental League.
"We needed to do something to improve basketball in our area," Penney said. "Every year we try to do camps and summer camps, and we've changed the dates on those every year because of numbers. With some elementary schools being on the year-round system and some being multi-track and us being on summer break, we've moved dates every year. Then we've also had to compete with football and SYFL, as well as baseball and youth wrestling. Those are all huge pieces in the community here and we're lacking a basketball piece. So we just decided this year we have to stop making excuses about it and do something about it.
"So we decided we're going to sacrifice our Saturday practices to try to start a developmental league for little kids to get them excited about basketball and Spanish Springs basketball in general. We want to see if we can start teaching them basketball and as they get older start teaching them our philosophies and beliefs so that they're more prepared once they come here."
Since the first week in January, the Spanish Springs youth D-league has had 56 kids sign up from first to eighth grade. with the majority of participants being first, second and third graders. Every Saturday, those youths take to the Spanish Springs gym for two hours, honing their basketball skills. While those numbers have been a promising start, Penney said what truly makes the developmental league a success is his own high school players taking over as coaches.
"What makes this thing so successful is our players," Penney said. "We require our varsity and JV players to be there and they work really well with the kids. That's just another success story to our season. Our kids are just phenomenal people. They have great grades and they're never in trouble. I never worry about them being in trouble. They're just very reliable."
As the youngsters take to the court and learn from their high school counterparts, the kids are not the only ones enjoying the new developmental league. Feedback from parents has also been positive.
"There's been a lot of enthusiasm from not only the kids, but the parents as well," Penney said. "I don't get a chance to talk to every parent, but when I've talked to a few parents at the D-league, they seem really excited about it. So the response that I've heard from most parents is they can't wait till next year to start spreading the word and getting more people involved and that's essentially what we need."

Saint Adrian of Canterbury
- Adrien
- Hadrian
In the mid 640's, his family fled to Naples, Italy ahead of Arab invasion. Benedictine monk when quite young. Abbot of Hiridanum, Isle of Nisida, Bay of Naples. Aquainted with Emperor Constans II, who later introduced him to Pope Saint Vitalian. Advisor to Vitalian.
Twice offered the Archbishopric of Canterbury, England; he declined, citing unworthiness. When Saint Theodore of Tarsus was sent instead, Adrian went as his assistant with special support to aid the monastic movement in the region. Detained in France due to suspicions of espionage for the emperor. Arrived in England in 669. Abbot of Saint Peter's, a monastery founded by Augustine of Canterbury.
Adrian and Theodore were highly successful missionaries in largely pagan England. In addition, Adrian was a great teacher of languages, mathematics, poetry, astronomy, and Bible study. Under his leadership, the School of Canterbury became the center of English learning. Worked to unify the customs of the English with the Church, and to promote Roman customs.

Morning 5
Morning 5: Actors who've played Richard III
With VIDEO and PHOTO GALLERY
Scientists say they have identified the body of England's King Richard III as that of a slightly disfigured skeleton found buried under a parking lot last year. Well-known actors have portrayed the king over the years, mostly in William Shakespeare's play, "Richard III." From Garrick to Kean, Burbage to Branagh, and from Sir Alec Guinness to Sir Laurence Olivier, the casting call for Shakespeare's vile character has gone far and wide. Here are five actors who caught our fancy:
1. John Wilkes Booth – The future assassin of Abraham Lincoln played Shakespeare's tyrant Richard III for his first time in 1863 in Boston. A review called him "the most promising young actor on the American stage."

Summary of The Day of the Jackal Summary of The Day of the Jackal Reviews for The Day of the Jackal An Excerpt from The Day of the Jackal
#1 New York Times bestselling author Frederick Forsyth's unforgettable novel of a conspiracy, a killer, and the one man who can stop him…
He is known only as "The Jackal"—a cold, calculating assassin without emotion, or loyalty, or equal. He's just received a contract from an enigmatic employer to eliminate one of the most heavily guarded men in the world—Charles De Gaulle, president of France.
It is only a twist of fate that allows the authorities to discover the plot. They know next to nothing—only that the assassin is on the move. To track him, they dispatch their finest detective, Claude Lebel, on a manhunt that will push him to his limit, in a race to stop an assassin's bullet from reaching its target.

Nine Dell Acquisitions: From EqualLogic to Quest, Compellent to Boomi, July 03, 2012 In recent days, Dell representatives made no bones about promoting the company's own products over products it resells. While the approach makes sense, it's a departure for Dell, which has historically been quite adamant about maintaining its reseller relationships even on products that directly compete with its own. But Dell's own product portfolio is now much richer than it once was. Here are nine important Dell acquisitions leading to today.
1. Quest: Dell's acquisition of Quest Software is just the latest in a line of purchases made since 2008, when it acquired iSCSI storage vendor EqualLogic. Quest had been on a buying spree of its own, acquiring almost as many companies as Dell in the same period. Dell has its work cut out for it to integrate the product suites and trim the overlap.
The three key wins for Dell with the Quest purchase are windows server management, identity and access management, and application performance management. Overall, those areas touch on much of Dell's management platforms for SMB/SME, data centers and cloud computing.

A week and a half into spring training, let's check into the Cactus League standings. Just as you'd expect, the Royals (72 wins in 2012) and the Mariners (75 wins) are a combined 18-1. On the bottom, the Rangers (93 wins last year), Angels (89 wins), and Reds (97) are a combined 5-23.
Just as you'd expect, right? Spring training is great. I say this not to point out that spring training stats and records — especially this early — are pretty meaningless, because I know that you know that. Yet you'd be surprised by how many fans haven't quite grasped that fact, at least judged by the quantity of those on Twitter and elsewhere asking me if I'll admit I'm wrong yet about Luis Cruz because he's hitting .444 or insisting the Dodgers are crazy for not announcing Yasiel Puig as the Opening Day cleanup hitter because he destroyed a pitch from terrible, terrible, Fernando Nieve.
That's not to say we shouldn't be encouraged by Cruz or excited by Puig, because absolutely we should. In fact, let's get excited by Puig's dinger from yesterday right now:
Lord, that's fun to watch. I just want to see how they — or anyone else, really — looks when real pitchers start throwing real curveballs, or when lineups aren't full of Justin Sellerses & Matt Palmers.
With scouts from the Brewers and Orioles watching, Dodgers starter Aaron Harang threw three scoreless innings in a Minor League game Monday at Camelback Ranch.
This isn't so much "news" as it is an acknowledgement that Harang is obviously available and teams who need pitching will be interested. Despite stories like this one from Mark Saxon indicating that Hyun-Jin Ryu's spot may be in jeopardy, I think it's far too soon to worry about that after three innings. Besides, what's Don Mattingly going to say, that Ryu has absolutely nothing to work for? Of course not.
