75% of economists agree the stimulus was worth it, 6% disagree. Media coverage didn't quite reflect that. http://www.igmchicago.org/igm-economic-experts-panel/poll-results?SurveyID=SV_5bfARfqluG9VYrP …

Learning a lot from this series. The deportation of Africans starting 75 years to the day of the Evian Conference? Makes you wonder if that was that intentional or coincidence.
Speaking of the Evian Conference, I wonder if its failure is part of the reason why the U.S. government is in lockstep with Israel. Has Israel been holding the conference over the U.S.'s head all these years?

Don't you love the way this journalist tries to frame this man calling children "coonass" as just maybe…possibly…depends…could be…a sometimey slur? Yeah….because you know, "coonass" in the right context, is a term of endearment! Sure……..that's it.
Texas legislator uses sometimes-slur for Cajun in discussion of 'Katrina children'
By Julia O'Donoghue, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune
July 30, 2014 at 7:26 PM
A Texas state legislator used the term "coonass" — a word for Cajun that some consider offensive — when talking about Louisiana students who had to attended school in the Lone Star state following Hurricane Katrina.
Texas state Rep. Dennis Bonnen made the comment during a state government hearing, while comparing the cost of educating children from Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina to the cost of educating children from Central America arriving on the United States border.
"I want to be clear — a Katrina child is far different. We can make jokes and pick on Louisiana and it's fun and all that, but it's a hell of a lot different bringing a kid over from Louisiana than a child who's just made a treacherous journey," said Bonnen initially, according to a video from Progress Texas, a left-leaning organization.
A few seconds later, Bonnen — who is a member of the Texas House political leadership — went on to say: "There's a significant difference. We had to have a teacher who could do coonass in English, but here we have to do Spanish and English, maybe, and there's a higher marker."

Prominent Conservative Pundit Tells John Legend To 'Shut Up And Play The Piano'
John Podhoretz, a former speech writer for Ronald Reagan with a regular column in the New York Post, told musician John Legend to "shut up and play the piano" in a tweet sent on Wednesday afternoon. Podhoretz was prompted by a tweet that Legend sent criticizing Israel's treatment of Secretary of State John Kerry.
And if he doesn't what are you going to do about it?………….That's what I thought.
Rather than apologize or address the controversy, Podhoretz apparently deleted his Twitter account. He was an extremely active user of the Twitter, sending almost 70,000 tweets and attracting over 34,000 followers.
HAHAHA…yeah, he has 34,000 followers….but John Legend has 5.6 million…and JL's followers promptly chewed Pdhoretz's ass up and spit it out. HAHA!
LOL, bitchass.

Wow…… a benign resolution to honor the Pope is an issue because he "sounds" too much like Obama? Damn GOP…just damn.
A popular piece of legislation that seeks to honor Pope Francis is stuck in Congress.
With time running out on the Capitol Hill calendar, the lawmakers who crafted the bipartisan measure are getting impatient with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).
The resolution, written by Reps. John Larson (D-Conn.) and Pete King (R-N.Y.), congratulates Francis on his March 2013 election and recognizes "his inspirational statements and actions."
The seemingly innocuous resolution was referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which hasn't acted on it. The panel didn't comment for this article.
The inaction and the lack of a white smoke signal from Boehner have sparked speculation that politics is at play.
Only 19 of the 221 co-sponsors are Republicans. The dearth of GOP members on the measure could be attributable to assertions that the pope is "too liberal," according to a Republican backer of the legislation.
The source noted that Francis last year denounced "trickle-down economics."
Some Republicans believe the pope is "sounding like [President] Obama. [The pope] talks about equality — he actually used the term 'trickle-down economics,' which is politically charged," the GOP official said.

What Debate? Economists Agree the Stimulus Lifted the Economy
by Justin Wolfers 7 30 2014
Here's a simple case study making the point that our political debates about economics have become largely unhinged from those among actual economists. Take the Obama stimulus plan, known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. If you took your cues from the political rhetoric in Washington — or even from the occasional virulent debate in the economics blogosphere — you would think the whole question of fiscal stimulus is highly contested.
But it's not. There's widespread agreement among economists that the stimulus act has helped boost the economy.

Well, math. That's too much like science that the goopers don't believe in either.
Lucio files bill to require pre-abortion adoption course
AUSTIN — The lone Senate Democrat to vote in favor of recent sweeping abortion restrictions filed a bill Tuesday that would require a woman complete a three-hour course on adoption before legally obtaining an abortion in Texas.
State Sen. Eddie Lucio, D-Brownsville, filed Senate Bill 42, which would charge the state's Health and Human Services Commission to develop an "adoption education course" that women would take for free, in person or online, and present a certificate of completion to her doctor to be cleared for an abortion.

– – —The number of people who applied for U.S. unemployment benefits rose by 23,000 last week to 302,000, one week after falling to a 14-year low. Still, the level of initial claims remains near a postrecession bottom and continue to signal further improvement in the labor market. Economists polled by MarketWatch expected claims to total a seasonally adjusted 308,000 in the week ended July 26. The average of new claims over the past month, meanwhile, fell by 3,500 to 297,250, the Labor Department said. It's the first time the monthly average has fallen below the 300,000 mark since April 2006 and reflects an eight-year low. The four-week figure smooths out the jumpiness in the weekly report and offers a better look at underlying trends in the labor market.

As McDonnell Burns…
Jerri the Secretary told all about the money, the cars and the clothes
Generic McDonnell Son said he sho' did live it up at the $50K per membership golf course
Juror A fell out in court coincidentally when the price to join the golf club was revealed
Generic McDonnell Son said he thought his mom bought a bootleg Rolex and Bob was like "Bitch please" when she gave it to him
Jonnie Williams dramatically appeared in court and took the stand…
Bob's lie that he "jus happened" to find the Ferrari & "jus happened" to drive it to Richmond as a favor to Jonnie was busted…
On today's show…
Jonnie said he ain't appreciate having to do all that work like buying the Rolex and getting so little in return
The jurors are fondling the Rolex
The prosecutor dropped the Rolex on the floor (oops *wink*)
Jonnie's favorite song during that time was Drake's "No New Friends"
More….after the break…
Wow…this is better than my OLTL (RIP, Llanview). We just need Karen Wolek to take the stand now.
oh man that trial scene was the bomb. I remember watching that as a teen and my father passing by and even he stopped to watch lol.
Joy, YASSSSSS. This is WAY better than TV!! LOLOL
Well, how Llanview 2.0 ended, the Banner was having to lay off people because nobody was reading a physical newspaper anymore and Viki refused to accept a loan from Clint to save the paper. Instead she was using her own funds and even Todd was like "you are really dumb, fo real."
OMG, yes! I need to rewatch, the eps are still on Hulu. Gotta get my Todd and Blair fix…lol.
LOL at the jurors fondling the Rolex
Town, LOL.

Maddow had me rolling me eyes last night at her lecture about not treating this as a soap opera case. SHE'S the one who harped on it night after night after night until it got national attention and led to the investigation. But now all of a sudden "This is sleazy, this is none of our business." Ho have a seat! She reported on the sleaze & the grift for ratings for months but now that McDonnell pulled his wife's ho card for the nation to see, all of a sudden "it's sleazy, we're being played, it's none of our business." Girl, bye!

The Wealth Gap Across Race, Gender and Marriage Status
ByJosh Marshall
Published July 31, 2014, 12:00 AM EDT
Here is a chart that not only shows the staggering wealth gap across the divides of race, gender and marriage status. It also maps many of the key dynamics and fault lines driving contemporary American politics.
The chart illustrates a pattern that most of us probably do not find surprising. But the sheer chasm separating single white men from Black and Hispanic single women is still shocking to see visualized so clearly. Single white men have 438 times the assets as single Black women and 365 times that of single Hispanic women. As we can see, marriage is a huge determinant of wealth – but mainly if you're not white, and especially if you're a woman.
Note that the chart provides data for wealth with and without vehicles (in most cases, cars). Here I've referenced the latter statistic. As the report notes, owning a car is an important way to access more employment opportunities among other things. But that wealth is not easily accessible in dollar terms, which is highly relevant for the following reason. Great disparities of wealth not only have a huge impact on life opportunities and the prospects for wealth accumulation. They are hugely important factor in the precariousness of economic life experienced by different demographic groups.
At essentially zero net wealth, individuals are one job less, illness or major expense away from debt (often incurred at usurious rates) or even homelessness.
This is what the know nothing Democrats (esp. the CBC) should be talking about. This is what they should be shanking lil punks like Paul Ryan on:
Where I live, you NEED a car to get around. If you don't have a car, you are out of luck b/c the public transportation is shotty because the white folks don't want the blahs coming up in their side of town, even though their side of town is where the jobs are. Depending on what road I take, it takes between 18 and 27 miles to get from my house to work. Luckily I have a car because if I didn't, I'd be out of luck. If I didn't have a car and had to walk to work within a 3 mile radius, I'd be limited to the grocery store, some service stations, a couple of 7-11s and some food places like Quiznos. Maybe Walmart and/or Target. How would those jobs pay enough for me to get a car to get around? Even a decent used car is several thousand dollars. The cheapest little small cars is over $12K new so how do they expect Sheniqkwa in the projects to be able to get a car, even used?
But Paul Ryan says those people over there in the inner city are lazy and don't want to work? How about creating some jobs over in the inner city and giving them transportation to get to work? How about that? But it's easier to claim black people are lazy and need to sign morality contracts for their welfare benefits than to actually fix the problem.
Tell it Town!!! My brother used to work in a burb here.
Every time he went to work and left from work the police stopped him for one bogus reason or another. They even took him to the station once trying to scare him.
Eventually he found a job in the city and quit. Whenever we pass the Man Power building there are lines out the door with people looking for work. Maybe Paul Ryan should take his trifling ass over there and talk to people. He really pisses me off because the man has never had a real fucking job.
I've signed more than my fair share of petitions to keep the MARTA system here from eliminating routes. The public transportation here is completely inept for the population all because the surrounding suburbs refuse to contribute and let the system expand into their areas. Its disgraceful.
That's why I felt no empathy for the folks that were forced to sleep in their freezing cars all night when that freak ice storm happened and shut down the interstates. The streets within the city limits of Atlanta were clear, it was all those little cities and suburbs of the metro area that were completely effed up. It was their own doing all because they want to keep the black and brown folks from their precious gated communities.
So much truth Town. So much truth.
Run Willard run!
"Ironically, Romney is almost tailor-made to benefit from having lost before. What might be a devastating blow to most political figures — a blight on their résumé — actually transforms Romney into a more
compelling candidate."
This is what's known as reaching but more than that it's conservatives waving the white flag and openly admitting they've got nothing now or in the near future.
Yep. They've got nothing.
Talk about your white privilege….losing multiple times makes you "compelling"….really? I think it just makes you a glutton for punishment.
I don't think we have ever seen a guy run over and over and over again for President and continue to lose badly. Adlai Stevenson was the last guy to win the nomination of a party 2 times and lose badly. Romney would be a three time loser if he decides to run.
Takin' the bumps and the bruises of all things of a two-time loser…
No love, just knocked the fuckout! Maaannnnnnnn.
No love, just knocked the fuckout! Maaannnnnnnn.
NYT: U.S. Attorney Tells Cuomo To Back Off Witnesses In Ethics Probe
ByDylan ScottPublishedJuly 31, 2014, 10:30 AM EDT 736 views
The U.S. attorney investigating New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's decision to shutter an anti-corruption commission earlier this year has warned the governor against tampering with witnesses or otherwise obstructing the inquiry, the New York Times reported Thursday.
Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, sent the warning in a letter to Cuomo's office Wednesday. The letter appears to have been prompted by Cuomo's office reaching out to members of the commission to ask them to make public statements defending its work, according to the Times.
"To the extent anyone attempts to influence or tamper with a witness's recollection of events relevant to our investigation, including the recollection of a commissioner or one of the commission's employees, we request that you advise our office immediately, as we must consider whether such actions constitute obstruction of justice or tampering with witnesses that violate federal law," Bharara's office wrote in the letter.
The Times revealed last week that Cuomo's office stymied the commission's investigations into some of the governor's political associates. Cuomo also closed the commission eight months ahead of schedule, after the New York General Assembly passed a legislative package that many watchdog groups considered insufficient.
Bharara has since picked up some of the investigations that the commission left unfinished and launched an inquiry into why Cuomo shut it down.

NFL player's daughter battling stage 4 cancer; shaves head in solidarity
July 28, 2014
Devon Still turned 25 years old July 11. The former Big Ten defensive player of the year enters his third season in the NFL with the Bengals in the midst of his prime. An opportunity sits wide open to compete for snaps in the middle of one of the league's best defensive lines.
However, two months ago, Still was convinced he was going to give it up.
On June 2, the Wilmington native and Howard High graduate found out his vibrant 4-year-old daughter, Leah, has stage 4 cancer. The disease, nueroblastoma, leaves her with a slightly better than 50 percent chance of survival.
His family, his career, his perspective, his world flipped upside down in an instant. Football suddenly faded as a priority.

– —-Op-ed by First Lady Michelle Obama on McClatchy: Let's end veteran homelessness once and for all—
— —Let's end veteran homelessness once and for all<
At the beginning of June, 85 mayors, governors and county officials
from across the country – and across the political spectrum – signed on to the Mayors Challenge to End Veterans Homelessness. Today, we're announcing that in the two months since then, 97 more state and local leaders have signed on – meaning that a total of 182 local leaders have pledged to end homelessness among the veterans in their communities by the end of 2015.
I know that might sound like a pipe dream. After all, veteran
homelessness is a problem we've faced for decades – in fact, almost 90 percent of all homeless veterans served prior to 9/11. And as a country, we've never been able to rally the resources and the public will to get all of our veterans off the streets and into stable housing.
So why do all these state and local leaders believe that things are
any different today? The answer to that question is simple: because
today – thanks to federal, state and local leadership and the
determined, daily work of advocates on the ground – we're finally seeing that ending veteran homelessness is not just something we should strive to achieve – it's something we actually can.

One dead, one critical after Chicago Loop shooting
Chicago Police and first responders on the scene of a shooting at 231 S. LaSalle on Thursday morning. | Brian Jackson / Sun-Times
A recently demoted worker entered a Loop office building Thursday morning and shot the company's CEO before turning the gun on himself and committing suicide, authorities said.
The shooting happened just before 10 a.m. at the ArrowStream company on the 17th floor of the Bank of America building, 231 S. LaSalle St.
"Apparently he was despondent over the fact that he got demoted," Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said.
The company's CEO, Steven LaVoie, 54, was in critical condition at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, authorities said.
The alleged shooter was identified as Anthony DeFrances, a 59-year-old employee who had been told on Friday that was being demoted as the company downsizes, police said.
The firm sells supply-chain management technology.
That block of LaSalle was closed to traffic as police officers flooded the scene.
So was shooting the CEO supposed to reverse the demotion? I wish these idiots would start on themselves first.

LOL, Jonnie Williams says he would never have invited Maureen McDonnell to his health supplement event had she not been the first lady of Virginia.
Let's keep it real: Look at her: She looks like a sad old cheerleader struggling to hold on to the last scraps of her youth. Look at her hair, she still has the same 1984 long cheerleader hair with the swoop bang, even though it is 2014 and she should've BEEN cut her ends. She's dumpy & frumpy.
Why would a wealthy businessman be interested in her otherwise? I need for people to stop living in delusion land.
So there's a factory somewhere making lil panties for peaches.
To think that someone woke up one morning and said, "Hey! I know what I'll do! I'll make some pannies for peaches!" frightens me.
LOL @ "pannies"
See, when us guys say we want to eat your peaches, this is not what we had in mind.
Is the Lounge stocked?
Yes, and I believe a few DVDs are in there as well….you'll be there for awhile.

Wait until they decided to do the peach and banana gift set.

End the Gaza blockade to achieve peace
By Keith Ellison July 29
Ellison, a Democrat, represents Minnesota's 5th District in the House of Representatives.
It seems as though each day brings new horrors and heartbreaks in the Holy Land. More than 1,000 dead. Gazan children blown up on the beach.A U.N. shelter hit. Two-thirds of Israelis living in fear from indiscriminate rocket fire launched by Hamas. But as the calls for a cease-fire gain momentum, it is important to understand that many Gazans who have no association with Hamas view the return to the way things were as unacceptable.
These people aren't rocket shooters or combatants. For the past several years they have lived in dreadful isolation. The status quo for ordinary Gazans is a continuation of no jobs and no freedom. This is not an attractive future. Gazans want and deserve the dignity of economic opportunity and freedom to move. This can be accomplished only with an end to the blockade of the Gaza Strip, which must be considered within the framework of a cease-fire. Israelis likewise deserve to live free of rocket fire and terror attacks. In order for Israelis to live safely and securely in their homes, Hamas must give up its rockets and other weapons.
I have traveled to Gaza three times since 2009 and have visited hospitals and schools there. As I have talked with ordinary Gazans, I have not encountered anyone representing Hamas. During one visit, I had the opportunity to meet Scott Anderson, deputy director of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). Anderson, a 21-year veteran of the U.S. Army, said it best when I spoke to him again this week: "Unless there is material change to the status quo, you're just resetting the clock for another cycle of violence." Continuing to block goods and services to and from Gaza keeps the keys to opportunity away from the people who just want to live, work and travel.

Ok. I am seriously starting my search for a hotel in Hawaii. I plan to wither reserve the room or pay outright booking in 2 weeks.
So in that time I need to find a good place for the trip. I will be there from Nov 3rd to Nov 10th. So that's 6 days 7 nights.
So anybody who's been or know someone who's been please hit me up with suggestions.
The next phase of planning will be for activities to do while I'm there. But right now it's all about the hotels.
Have you been watching the airfares? What are they looking like?
I booked my flight over a month ago. The only flight I haven't is the flight back to NOLA from Cali.
My flight to Hawaii on Hawaiian Airlines was round trip from Oakland $417.

Leaked Memo: Top Tea Party Group Says It Forced Mitch McConnell To Oppose the Stimulus
FreedomWorks' president writes that the GOP senator's "uwillingness to lead" forced his group to "shut down every phone line in the Leader's offices."
By Andy Kroll Thu Jul. 31, 2014 6:00 AM EDT
As he seeks another six years in office, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has touted his reputation as a true conservative and an unwavering opponent of President Barack Obama. But a newly leaked document written by one of the most prominent figures in the tea party movement claims that McConnell wasn't a strong conservative leader initially when Obama proposed his anti-recession stimulus package—and that McConnell only ended up opposing this signature Obama initiative because a leading tea party group leaned on him to do so.
Mother Jones recently obtained a trove of emails, memos, financial records, and fundraising documents written by officials and financial backers of FreedomWorks, a national tea party group. These records contain a May 2009 memo written by FreedomWorks president and CEO Matt Kibbe and addressed to the group's board of directors. The memo presented FreedomWorks' efforts to combat the Obama administration, just as the new president was settling in and responding to the economic crisis under way. In the document, Kibbe credited FreedomWorks—which has been funded by corporations, wealthy individuals, and grassroots donors—for "fomenting the tea party movement."
The memo noted that FreedomWorks was doing all it could to battle Obama's $787 billion stimulus package, which was intended to jump-start the US economy. But Kibbe reported in his memo that not all Republican leaders in Congress were willing to block the stimulus bill. Mitch McConnell was apparently one of those wavering Republicans. Here's what Kibbe's memo said:

Alums of Ohio black college fight for its survival
By LISA CORNWELL
Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Alumni of the country's oldest historically black private university are committing money and other support to help their alma mater's fight for survival amid the risk of accreditation loss and financial deficits and low enrollment.
The alumni association of southwestern Ohio's Wilberforce University, founded in 1856, says graduates have committed to raise $2 million in cash donations, including $400,000 pledged at last weekend's alumni conference. The university has already received $200,000 of that, alumni and university officials said Wednesday. The university also says it has a strategy for upcoming changes, including realigning Wilberforce's board, modifying facilities and academics, revising financial procedures and finding a president to move the school forward.
Talbert Grooms, president of Wilberforce's alumni association, said in a statement that alumni believe change is a "critical part of staying relevant."
Last month, the Higher Learning Commission issued a "show-cause"
order, which stressed serious financial issues, lack of leadership and a
deteriorating campus among other problems at the school. It requires
Wilberforce to show why the commission shouldn't withdraw its

Hmm, I think I have a cousin (whom I've never met before) that is a professor at Wilberforce.
Never mind, just looked her up on Facebook, she doesn't teach there but I swear at one point she did.
W.E.B. Dubois taught here. Where are blacks demos? Sole Patrol?
At the white colleges teaching white children.
A sad case of trying too hard to be relevant.

House GOP Abandons Border Crisis Bill Amid Conservative Opposition
SAHIL KAPURPublishedJULY 31, 2014, 2:14 PM EDT
House Republican leaders abruptly pulled their border supplemental legislation prior to a scheduled vote on Thursday, a sign that they lacked the votes to pass it. That means members would go home for recess without acting, a situation that GOP leaders wanted to avoid.
Immigration-weary conservatives said the $659 million supplemental, and the subsequent measure to end the Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, didn't go far enough in rebuking the president's actions.
It was a remarkable defeat for the new GOP leadership team on the day that Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) stepped down as majority leader.
Meanwhile, PBO is cracking his knuckles preparing to open up another can of WHUP ASS. It's time for the 2014 Road Show, starring PBO and featuring FLOTUS. I'm here for it.

Patrick soon developed a stellar career, clerking for a federal judge, practicing law with the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, working as an attorney in the private sector and becoming partner at age 34. As a business executive, he ultimately rose to senior positions at Coca-Cola and Texaco.

Defying previous notions that the U.S. was running out of oil and energy supplies, the U.S. is now in the midst of an energy boom. Energy expert Ed Morse writes in today's Wall Street Journal, "The United States has become the fastest-growing oil and gas producer in the world, and it is likely to remain so for the rest of this decade and into the 2020s." He notes that the potential is great for our energy security and our economy, but warns that damaging domestic policies are standing in the way of North American energy independence.
The Wall Street Journal
Move Over, OPEC–Here We Come
In energy, North America is becoming the new Middle East. The only thing that can stop it is domestic politics.
By ED MORSE, March 19, 2012
The United States has become the fastest-growing oil and gas producer in the world, and it is likely to remain so for the rest of this decade and into the 2020s. Add to this output the steadily growing Canadian production and a likely reversal of Mexico's recent production decline, and theoretically total oil production from the three countries could rise by 11.2 million barrels per day by 2020, or to 26.6 million barrels per day from around 15.4 million per day at the end of 2011.
Whether the increase results in the U.S. reducing its imports or whether our net exports grow doesn't matter much to world balances. Either way, North America is becoming the new Middle East. The only thing that can stop this is politics–environmentalists getting the upper hand over supply in the U.S., for instance; or First Nations impeding pipeline expansion in Canada; or Mexican production continuing to trip over the Mexican Constitution, impeding foreign investment or technology transfers–in North America itself.
On top of this, the U.S. and Canada could see natural gas output rise by 22 billion cubic feet per day by 2020, with 14 billion of it coming from the Lower 48 states, four billion from Alaska and four billion from Canada. That's an increase of one-third, catapulting this continent into the ranks of significant exporters of liquefied natural gas.
These numbers provide a useful benchmark for measuring ways that policies could obstruct the pace of supply growth. We already have the experience of the BP/Macondo disaster in the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010, which led to a moratorium on drilling in U.S. federal waters, and a revamping of the U.S. regulatory regime governing leasing, revenue collection and safety. As a consequence, U.S. deepwater production has fallen by more than 300,000 barrels per day since then…
Excess Canadian crude oil produced from oil sands is expanding at a rate of one million barrels a day every five years. The more that's produced, the less of a market there will be for oil from Venezuela and some other OPEC member countries with similar-quality oil, requiring them to either curtail production or lower prices. Even if oil prices rise in the medium term, we expect 2020 prices to be no more than $85 per barrel, compared with today's prevailing global price of $125.
The economic consequences of this supply-and-demand revolution are potentially extraordinary. We estimate that the cumulative impact of new production and reduced consumption could increase real U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) by 2%-3.3%, or by $370 billion-$624 billion, by 2020.
Of this estimate, $74 billion comes directly from the output of new hydrocarbon production alone. The rest is generated by multiplier effects as the surge in economic activity drives higher wealth, spending, consumption and investment effects that ripple through the economy. This potential re-industrialization of the U.S. economy is both profound and timely, occurring as the U.S struggles to shake off the lingering effects of the 2008 financial crisis.
Equally remarkable is the potential impact on the U.S. labor market. We estimate that as many as 3.6 million new jobs may be created on net by 2020. Some 600,000 jobs would be in the oil and gas extraction sector, another 1.1 million jobs in related industrial and manufacturing activity, and the remainder in ancillary job sectors. Overall, the national unemployment rate could decline by as much as 1.1 percentage points from what it otherwise would be in 2020…
It is now possible to meet the goal of energy independence for the U.S. One consequence is a significantly lower vulnerability of North America–and the world market–to oil price spikes. But also significant are the geopolitical consequences of a weakened OPEC and of the potentially reduced importance to the U.S. of changes in oil- and natural gas-producing countries world-wide.

The Nike LeBron X Elite Superhero release date is just ten days away now, scheduled for April 27, a week after the first round of Nike Basketball Elite Series 2.0+ launches. (The "Superhero" and the other Elites that release 4/27 do not include Nike+ sensors.)
The LeBron X Elite Superhero sports blue and black through the Hyperfuse upper, with an orange outsole and accenting and carbon fiber around the heel, the latter a hallmark of the Elite series. Other Elite improvements include Kevlar Aramid reinforcing, to enhance stability without adding bulk or weight, and articulated foam through the tongue to ramp up impact protection.
Expect limited quantities when the shoe drops in ten days, thus a quick sellout is almost assured; prepare accordingly.

The survey, which drew on the responses of more than 2,600 owners and employees of small- and medium-size businesses, reported that air travel has increased because 64% of respondents believe face-to-face meetings are crucial for their business. Part of this openness to travel may also be the result of respondents' growing optimism: 72% expect their company's economic outlook will improve over the next year-and-a-half.
"For many small and medium enterprises, the future of their business relies on finding new customers, new suppliers and new markets," says Karen Buls, director of SME products, marketing and sales strategy for American Airlines. "Even in a difficult economy, many small businesses are predicting an increase in their travel needs over the next 12 months."
Some distributors say they expect their air travel to increase as a result of increased attendance at trade shows and conferences, rather than direct travel to individual clients. Daniel Kirkham, owner of Ad Specialties of Oregon NW (asi/105328), has been budgeting more travel time at trade shows and face-to-face events that offer a higher volume of potential clients.
"Our face-to-face meetings have been on the decline due to my clients having less time," says Kirkham, pointing to one customer that used to have three marketing associates who could make time to meet with him, and now only has one. "It's still a relationship business, but I don't have to see my clients every day."
Other distributors expect their airplane trips to increase in frequency in the next couple of years. Debi Book, president of Outlaws Embroidery (asi/288486), took over the company six months ago. While she is holding off on travel as she and her husband get the company up and running, she plans to increase travel in the next year or two.
"There's a trade show in Chicago that we really want to go to, and there are so many vendors there, but your first year as a company you can't really get up and go," says Book. "Looking in a catalog can't tell you all you need to know about the product or vendor – so next year we're going to make it out." -- Betsy Cummings

Rock-throwing alleged
An intoxicated person reportedly was throwing rocks at vehicles Sunday in the 2900 block of North Avenue, according to the Grand Junction Police Department.
Charges are pending damage estimates from the drivers of the vehicles that allegedly were hit.
No foul play in death
No foul play is suspected in an unattended death reported Friday in the Flat Tops area of Garfield County.
An autopsy is pending, according to the Garfield County Sheriff's Department.
According to the Grand Junction Police Department:
■ Someone broke into a home Monday in the 600 block of South U.S. Highway 50 and stole nearly $3,500 in electronics, clothes and other items, including the titles to three vehicles. Someone then stole the 1994 Chevrolet truck matching the stolen title.

Greer allegedly refused to leave Rock Jam when told to and took a swing at a security officer. He was "highly intoxicated," the incident report said.
According to the Garfield County Sheriff's Department:
■ An allegedly intoxicated 16-year-old boy reportedly was walking Saturday on Interstate 70 near Rifle. He was ticketed and released to a guardian.

Stephen Gallacher is eyeing a Masters and Ryder Cup debut after recovering from a nightmare start to the final round to become the first player to successfully defend the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.
Gallacher began the day with a two-shot lead over playing partner Rory McIlroy, but bogeyed the first two holes and dropped further shots on the sixth and eighth to fall two off the pace.
However, the 39-year-old Scot found the back nine at Emirates Golf Club very much to his liking for the second day in succession, making birdies on the 11th, 13th, 16th and 17th to finish 16 under par after a closing 72.
It was nothing like as spectacular as the seven birdies and an eagle he produced to cover the same stretch in just 28 shots on Saturday, but was enough to win by one shot from Argentina's Emiliano Grillo.
"I think it took everything I have to be honest," said Gallacher, who was embraced by his children Jack and Ellie after sealing victory with a par on the 18th. "After the start, it was the plague of the front nine again but I just tried to build on yesterday's performance and stay patient.
"I was quite fortunate that no-one was running away with it. I knew I was only a couple back with three par fives (to play) and the 17th you can go for, so I just tried to hit one shot at a time as yesterday.
"When I holed the putt on 11 - after not making a birdie on 10 - I was level with seven to go and I thought I would have taken that at the start anyway; then I had three birdies from then on in.
"I knew a five (on the 18th) was going to win it. It's the only time I've had backspin all week and it nearly came back into the water, but it's done now and I am delighted. To do it in the 25th year of the event is even more special."
Gallacher's recent record in the event now reads 10th, 2nd, 1st, 1st - "I wish I could play it every week" he admitted - and his third European Tour victory lifts him from 67th in the world rankings to inside the top 40.
If he can maintain that position until the end of March he will earn a first invite to the Masters at Augusta, while the £250,000 first prize lifted him to seventh in the Race to Dubai and 14th in the European Ryder Cup points list.
"That (world's top 50) was my goal at the start of the year," Gallacher added on Sky Sports. "I knew I was only a win away from getting into all the events like the WGC Match Play and the US Open and if you have aspirations of getting into the Ryder Cup you have got to be in them, so I am delighted with that."
Gallacher lives just 35 miles from the Ryder Cup venue of Gleneagles, where he lost out in a play-off for the Johnnie Walker Championship last August, a week before the qualifying race started.
"You don't want to leave it too late so hopefully I can build on it," added Gallacher, who is the nephew of former Ryder Cup captain Bernard Gallacher. "I'm playing in all the events now and hopefully the Masters so that will be brilliant."
Gallacher's poor start meant McIlroy's opening six pars were enough to inherit the lead, but the former world number one promptly dumped his tee shot to the seventh in the water short of the green.
Although he rescued a bogey with a brilliant third shot from the drop zone, McIlroy never reproduced the form which saw him shoot an opening 63, eventually carding a closing 74 to finish four behind Gallacher.
For much of the last round it was a comedy of errors from the final few groups, so it was perhaps fitting that Grillo overtook Romain Wattel as the clubhouse leader thanks to a stroke of good fortune on the 18th.
Grillo completed a flawless 66 in amazing fashion, the world number 268 holing from 65ft for an eagle after his approach had clattered into the hospitality tents behind the green and bounced back onto the putting surface.
Gallacher still had three holes to play however and holed from six feet on the 16th and a matter of inches on the 17th to give himself a one-shot cushion playing the last.
"Apart from the second shot to 18 everything was quite good," Grillo said. "The second shot went a little bit further than I wanted and got lucky, then I got lucky with the big putt.
"I am quite happy with how it went today, it was a good round overall. I left some putts out there but the one on the last gave me the ones I missed."
Wattel and American Brooks Koepka shared third place on 14 under, with McIlroy joint ninth. World number one Tiger Woods carded a final round of 71 to finish in a tie for 41st on six under.
