America has come to the breaking point. Our ability to think our way to a solution is temporarily impaired thanks to the utterly devastating annihilation of reasonable economic ideas by the neo-liberal revolution. So before we rebuild the economy, we've got a job ahead of us to rebuild some ideas.
In the great economic battle between pro-government and anti-government policies, California vs. Kansas has been the featured contest, and California has won.
Industrial polluters are using the same scare tactic they trot out every time the government proposes stricter emission controls: exaggerate the cost, overstate job losses, and completely ignore the benefits.
The partisan divide on climate change didn't arise in a vacuum. Despite the substantial differences in political ideology between affiliates of the two major parties that existed during the Clinton years, there was relatively little difference in their level of acceptance of the science of climate change.
Today, the Earth got a little hotter, and a little more crowded. Daily Climate Change: Global Map of Unusual Temperatures, June 5 2014 How unusual...
The Obama administration did too little, too late, to help troubled homeowners, who faced plummeting home prices and the risk of foreclosure. The most important thing they can do is get Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to adopt principal reduction.
It took centuries to get people to understand the earth orbits the sun. If it takes as long to get the public to understand and our politicians to understand the economy, billions of people will suffer needlessly.
A zombie idea persists when it's "one of those things that everyone important thinks is true because everyone they know says it's true." A prime example is the oft-repeated citation of the Head Start Impact Study as proof positive that Head Start does not work.
With three best-sellers saying markets are rigged --Piketty, Warren, Lewis -- Shrum & Lowry debate economic and then racial inequality. Can tax policies mitigate a 400-1 ratio of top to average pay? 4000-1? Does bias against blacks = against whites, per Roberts?
Just as one party has been pulled to the right, Piketty could help pull the other further left, fostering a dilemma that looks hard to avoid for moderate progressives.
And at state and local levels, while the poorest fifth of Americans pay an average tax rate of over 11 percent, the richest one percent of the country pay -- are you ready for this? -- half that rate.
So it turns out the bully mentality is part of human nature, really, and so part of our culture. It is then up to those employees who want to better themselves to find a way to oppose that culture and mentality.
A new book that's the talk of academia and the media shows that two-thirds of America's increase in income inequality over the past four decades is the result of steep raises given to the country's highest earners.
A new report shows that top CEOs were paid 331 times more than the average U.S. worker in 2013. At the same time, the poorest fifth of Americans paid an average tax rate of 11 percent while the richest one percent contributed half that rate at state and local levels.
Fostering a culture of fear and ignorance is not the way to run a political party, or country, if it would ever come to that.
The greatest danger currently facing all of us in America, and particularly progressives, is one of drift. As an economy, the United States is drifting along a low-growth path that is acclimatizing all of us to levels of unemployment which only a decade ago would have been treated as an outrage. As a society, the United States is drifting towards levels of income and wealth inequality so large that, if left unchallenged, will soon become irreversible. And as a political system, the United States is drifting towards a Republican sweep of both the House and the Senate in November unless the democratic left acts now to reverse what is in truth a carefully orchestrated and heavily funded great moving right show. Those of us of a progressive predisposition are drifting towards a political defeat of historic proportions -- one underpinned by an economic and social settlement of a highly conservative kind -- and we are doing so with what would appear to be only the slightest sense of alarm.

Cook singles out Raina impact
Follow England's tour of India on ecb.co.uk - click here for all the latest news, exclusive interviews, video highlights and match reports
Alastair Cook pinpointed the start of Suresh Raina's innings as crucial to the five-wicket win that gave India a series victory with a game to spare.
Replying to England's 257 for seven, the hosts were 90 for three when James Tredwell had Yuvraj Singh lbw.
However, Raina and Rohit Sharma gave them immediate impetus en route to 89 not out and 83 respectively as victory at Mohali came with 15 balls to spare.
Referring to Raina, the captain said: "When he came in the momentum changed very quickly and we couldn't quite stop them scoring as we would have liked.
"I thought we put in a good performance today. I don't think the conditions were quite in our favour and to get it so close I thought we played quite well."
Cook, who lost the toss, and Kevin Pietersen both made 76 before Joe Root's unbeaten 57 lifted the tourists to a competitive total.
"Clearly it nipped around pretty much throughout our whole innings and then as the dew came down it skidded on a little bit," he added.
"We knew that if we could load ourselves those last 10 overs with out batters in, we had a chance of getting up to 250, 260 which is a pretty good score on that wicket."
Root's first one-day international fifty, coming from just 43 deliveries, was inventive and helped England score 100 from the last 10 overs.
"He did really play well," Cook enthused. "Obviously he's good at moving the ball around. I thought the shots that he played at the end, I don't think we'd seen them before.
"And to score I think at a 130 strike-rate like that is really pleasing and I thought the way he handles himself on the field is excellent."
Home skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was naturally happy with his side's display.
"I think overall it was a very good performance. We were right on the spot with the new ball, which I feel is always important," he said.
"A lot of sides look to save wickets in the first 10 overs because all of them know from 36 to 40 overs they can have a second powerplay and then afterwards if they have wickets in hand they can really score big runs.
"I think we started off well and didn't let them get off (to a good start)."
Dhoni was particularly satisfied by the recalled Rohit, who opened the batting in place of Ajinkya Rahane.
"He's one of the most gifted cricketers that we have seen so unfortunately he has not done really well with whatever opportunities he has got, but it's a waste if he can't really make it," he added.
"So there was an opportunity. We gave him some time in a sense. We had a chat about him opening the innings at the start of the series. He was grateful to accept it.
"I think it was a really good performance by him. He's someone who is a natural puller; he pulls the ball well, you can't really bowl too many short balls at him."

AbstractIn this SBIR effort we propose an innovative approach for the integration of Decision Support Tools (DSTs) for increased situational awareness, improved cooperative scheduling and collaborative decision-making in all parts of the air space. We propose to investigate two types of integration models based on the extent and feasibility of the level of integration and use appropriate game theoretic approaches to analyze these models. The proposed models are: (i) Data-sharing DST integration model: In this model, DSTs will primarily share data that is required for each DST to take a decision before an event happens. Based on the shared data each DST acts independently (ii) Interacting DST integration model: In this model, DSTs not only share data but also advise each other to act in such a way to reduce the level of conflict. Tools based on repeated strategic games and cooperative bargaining games will be used. We primarily focus on integrating Traffic Management Advisories (TMAs) across multiple centers as the application domain for the Phase I effort.

I can't really rate the off-campus housing as I live in the dorms. But I hear it can be great depending where your house is and what state it is in.

A lot of college students, in a good area and the landlords are known for accommodating Calvin students.

There are many places where you can rent a house with your friends that are really close to campus.
Off-Campus Housing:
The school doesn't really help at all with students finding off campus housing. It's super hard to find housing. Most of the housing is a walking distance from campus which is nice, but the crime rate in those neighborhoods is pretty high. Basically all housing is rental houses, apartments around here are way too expensive.

Shale Hotels Acquires PA Holiday Inn

MONROEVILLE, PA— Shale Hotels, Inc. acquired the 187-room Holiday Inn here.
HREC Investment Advisors arranged the sale to the local group, which has other hotel holdings in the region.
Shale plans on extensively renovating the asset with a focus on capturing more business related to gas exploration/drilling in the greater region, according to the company.
"In the hotel industry, it's all about location, location, location," stated Tejas Gosai, president of Shale Hotels, Inc. "The Holiday Inn Pittsburgh-Monroeville sits just east of Pittsburgh, literally on top of the PA Turnpike and Route 376. Not only is it a prime location for folks already in Pittsburgh or those traveling through our interstates, but also for those associated with the shale oil/gas industry."

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

Forum on fracking scheduled for today
The Ohio Environmental Council is hosting an educational forum on fracking today from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Youngstown Public Library's main branch.
Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is a process in which sand, water and chemicals are pumped into shale at a high pressure to release the gas trapped within the rock thousands of feet underground.
The forum will focus on health concerns relating to the process. Janet Reeves, a retired nurse, and Scott Bolam, from the Mahoning County Board of Health are among those who will speak.
For more on this story, see Friday's Vindicator or vindy.com
I will be holding a seminar on fracking your own well soon. Many have the desire but lack the experience. The risks are minimal and the payoffs are rewarding. The procedure is not life threatening and is much safer than driving your automobile on the highway.

Hello caevan!
I am surprised that your plugin is that much underrated!
Just because another plugin has the same name........ it is really not fair.
Your plugin is just what I needed, and it is the only one I found which is working, and doing what I exactly needed.
Thank you very much for your plugin!
PS: sorry for my bad english =)
I just have one question: where should I put the bp-album-fr_FR.mo and the bp-album-fr_FR.po files to change the language?
thank you a lot and keep up the good work please! :)

Ferring licensed near-global rights to Swedish firm Albireo's irritable bowel disease (IBS) drug elobixibat, which is in preparation for both for Phase III trials in patients with chronic idiopathic constipation, and Phase IIb trials against constipation-predominant IBS (IBS-C). The license gives Ferring rights to develop and commercialize elobixibat worldwide, except in Japan and a few Asian countries. Under terms of the deal Albireo will receive an upfront fee, plus development milestones and double-digit royalties.
The financial details haven't been disclosed, but Ferring says the deal represents one of the biggest investments it has made for licensing rights to a product. "Elobixibat perfectly complements our gastroenterology portfolio," remarks Michel Pettigrew, president and COO at Ferring.
Albireo was spun out of AstraZeneca in 2008 to focus on developing drugs for gastrointestinal disorders. Lead product elobixibat is designed to act locally in the gut with minimal systemic exposure, and modulate the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids by inhibiting the ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT, or apical sodium dependent bile acid transporter,(ASBT). This activity results in an increased concentration of bile acids in the colon which, in turn, increase fluid secretion and colonic motility. Positive data from a Phase IIb study in patients with CIC were reported back in 2010.
Albireo has three preclinical programs in development. One is focused on applications of IBAT inhibition for disease areas than gastrointestinal motility. Another is focused on neurokinin (NK) receptor antagonism as a first-in-class treatment of IBD and/or IBS. The third program aims to develop a locally active PPAR agonist as a first-in-class treatment of IBD.
Ferring's existing gastrointestinal portfolio is headed by the marketed drug Pentasa® (mesalazine), which is approved in various markets for the long term management of inflammatory bowel diseases including ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease.
