Shining Mountain offers full and partial-week options for our mixed-age kindergarten, ages 3-6. This means that in each of our three kindergarten classrooms, there is a mix of children between the ages of 3 and 6 years old.
Walk into the soothing, home-like environment of the Kindergarten and feel the warmth and beauty of the soft pink walls, the colorful silks and cotton cloths, the natural materials in the toys, and the subdued lighting. Here your child plays contentedly and creatively, his or her imagination guiding the way. The teachers speak softly but firmly, and move with quiet purpose, as ones whose actions are worthy of imitation.
Regular rhythms – alternating vigorous activities with quieter ones – guide the structure of each day. The Kindergarten week includes arts and crafts, puppetry, eurythmy, cooking, bread baking, singing games, healthy physical play, and learning social courtesies. With exquisite attention to language, the teacher tells fairytales and stories over and over; children drink in the images and thereby strengthen an innate human capacity for forming inner pictures. This capacity, when properly nourished, becomes the basis for literacy and future critical thinking skills.
During walks and outdoor play times, children experience a sense of wonder and a love of nature. Celebrating seasonal festivals not only reminds children of the cycles of the year, but also holds them in the larger Shining Mountain family.
Shining Mountain has three Kindergartens, Red Rose, Larksong and White Dove. Each class welcomes 18 children, ages three through six, and is guided by a lead teacher with an assistant. Children may join the Kindergarten program if they are age three by May 31 and toilet trained. Kindergarten is a five-morning a week program from 8:30AM to 12:30PM, Monday through Friday. Children age three and four have the option of attending 3, 4 or 5 mornings a week. Children who are age five before June 1st are required to attend school 5 days a week the following year. Extended kindergarten care, called Rainbow Garden, is available from 12:30 – 3:00PM Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. On Thursdays the extended kindergarten care dismisses at 2PM. Rainbow Garden is offered 2- 5 days a week for all kindergarten children enrolled in the morning. In addition, we have an After Care Program available from 3-5:30 PM for those families needing all day coverage.
Through imaginative play with toys of natural materials, children develop sound bodies. From birth to age six or seven, children experience the world and learn primarily through physical activity and the effects of physical stimuli. Thus, our Waldorf Kindergarten environment is conducive to learning through exploration and play. Healthy movement and creative play in the early childhood years are keys to laying the foundation for later academic work.
The idea of rhythm is central to a Waldorf kindergarten: very active indoor games or outdoor play of jumping, running, rolling, shouting, and climbing alternate with a snack, story time or watercolor painting, which allow the child's body to relax. A dependable sequence for the day and for the week, at home as well as at school, offers a child a sense of security and steady rhythm that is vital to healthy functioning. As night yields to day, as spring becomes summer, as the breath moves in and then out, so, too, children unfold best physically and emotionally when there is "a time for all things."
At Shining Mountain our Kindergarten is based on the conviction that the young child learns best by imitating what is beautiful and meaningful. Each child's innate capacity for wonder, reverence, and awe is valued and nurtured in a carefully planned program and environment. The teachers model beautiful movement and speech, refined table manners and social courtesies, peaceful conflict resolution and joy in daily activities – all of which are carefully observed and imitated by the children. The teachers perform real tasks with the children: grinding grain, baking bread, sewing, washing dishes after a snack, all the while empowering each child to contribute in meaningful ways.
"Once upon a time" the story begins, and sitting in a circle, the children drink in their teacher's words. For weeks at a time, the story will be repeated daily so that a multiplicity of images can build and live in the children. Their concentration is visible: jaw drops down, focus is on the teacher, and stillness pervades the circle. Inner pictures arise again and again. Here is the basis for reading in the grade school and for imaginative problem-solving and critical thinking in adolescence.
Children who are age six by May 31 are assessed for first grade readiness. Kindergarten teachers and the Resource Director carefully observe and interact with each child over the course of the last year of Kindergarten and evaluate readiness based on a multiplicity of factors such as physical and emotional maturity, fine and gross motor skills, and eye-hand coordination. Children attend all 5 days for their final year of Kindergarten in order to help ensure their preparation for first grade.

Some Fort Hood victims' names released
UPDATE: More names and info here. One of the victims was pregnant.
The 13 people killed when an Army psychiatrist allegedly opened fire on fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, included a man who quit a furniture company job to join the military about a year ago, a newlywed who had served in Iraq and a woman who had vowed to take on Osama bin Laden after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Here is a look at some of the victims.
Pfc. Michael Pearson
Pearson, 21, of the Chicago suburb of Bloomington, Ill., quit what he figured was a dead-end furniture company job to join the military about a year ago.
"He felt he was in a rut. He wanted to travel, see the world," his mother, Sheryll Pearson, told the Chicago Tribune. "He also wanted an opportunity to serve the country."
At Pearson's family home Friday, a yellow ribbon was tied to a porch light and a sticker stamped with American flags on the front door read, "United we stand."
Neighbor Jessica Koerber, who was with Pearson's parents when they received word Thursday their son had died, described him as a man who clearly loved his family -- someone who enjoyed horsing around with his nieces and nephews, and other times playing his guitar.
"That family lost their gem," she told the AP. "He was a great kid, a great guy. ... Mikey was one of a kind."
Sheryll Pearson said she hadn't seen her son for a year because he had been training. She told the Tribune that when she last talked to him on the phone two days ago, they had discussed how he would come home for Christmas.
Spc. Jason Dean Hunt
Hunt, 22, of Federick, Okla., went into the military after graduating from Tipton High School in 2005 and had gotten married just two months ago, his mother, Gale Hunt, said. He had served 3 1/2 years in the Army, including a stint in Iraq.
Gale Hunt said two uniformed soldiers came to her door late Thursday night to notify her of her son's death.
Hunt, known as J.D., was "just kind of a quiet boy and a good kid, very kind," said Kathy Gray, an administrative assistant at Tipton Schools.
His mother said he was family oriented.
"He didn't go in for hunting or sports," Gale Hunt said. "He was a very quiet boy who enjoyed video games."
He had re-enlisted for six years after serving his initial two-year assignment, she said. Jason Hunt was previously stationed at Fort Stewart in Georgia.
Sgt. Amy Krueger
Krueger, 29, of Kiel, Wis., joined the Army after the 2001 terrorist attacks and had vowed to take on Osama bin Laden, her mother, Jeri Krueger said.
Amy Krueger arrived at Fort Hood on Tuesday and was scheduled to be sent to Afghanistan in December, the mother told the Herald Times Reporter of Manitowoc.
Jerri Krueger recalled telling her daughter that she could not take on bin Laden by herself.
"Watch me," her daughter replied.
Kiel High School Principal Dario Talerico told The Associated Press that Krueger graduated from the school in 1998 and had spoken at least once to local elementary school students about her career.
"I just remember that Amy was a very good kid, who like most kids in a small town are just looking for what their next step in life was going to be and she chose the military," Talerico said. "Once she got into the military, she really connected with that kind of lifestyle and was really proud to serve her country."
Associated Press writers Richard Green in Oklahoma City and Amy Shafer in Chicago contributed to this report. Rousseau contributed from Bloomington, Ill., and Imrie from Wausau, Wis.

I sold my first website aged 18, and for the past 11 years I've worked in the business of marketing - mostly online, in one way or another.
Professionally, I run a modern marketing and advertising agency. I've been a co-founder and Director of Strategy, a Head of Online, a Head of Social Media, a Director and a Principal Director to name a couple of roles during my career to date.
I've worked with global brands like Motorola, Fitness First, Canon, Travelex, McAfee, Westfield, Vodafone and Nestle. Helping them to make things happen via marketing and advertising.
I have experience working with small and large scale developments, design projects, campaigns and communication strategies.
I once tried to buy MySpace, which worked out well. I built a small website containing an open letter to the then MySpace owners, and also a place where the public could pledge money to help buy MySpace. It ended up raising around $4,000,000 before I shut down the campaign. I've been written about by The New York Observer, The Next Web and a few others.
I started a project in the UK with a friend called 60million ideas. We pushed the agenda for social change, greater awareness of world ills and wrong-doing. We gained a bit of a following - over 5,000 on Twitter and plenty of eyeballs on the blog each month.
I write for industry publications, and speak at events - occasionally.
I keep some other blog posts over on Medium.
I enjoy music - rap, classical, folk and rock. I am a big fan of the NBA. I enjoy typography and design. I appreciate female fashion probably more than male fashion, oddly. I collect tattoos and coffee table books. I care about writing and the power of words. I believe Jesus existed and I talk to his Dad. I get upset by world tragedies outside of my control. I believe we all need to be far less selfish.
I am Adam.

BWW Reviews: Diaz, Segel are Funny & Sexy in Overly-Sanitized SEX TAPE
by Matt Tamanini - Jul 18, 2014
Let's be clear, no movie about two parents making a sex tape to get out of their marital rut can ever be described as family-friendly (especially this one), but SEX TAPE, from director Jake Kasdan, feels like a sanitized attempt to recreate the over-the-top raunchy humor of THE HANGOVER, BRIDESMAIDS, and HORRIBLE BOSSES. Despite its slightly restrained feel, the movie, mainly on the likeability of stars Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, manages to be entertaining and diverting, despite not being all that memorable. It feels like Kasdan is trying to delicately straddle the line between gross-out comedy and rom-com. Unfortunately, that indecision robs the film of its teeth unless you like that sort of thing.

If your students like to play hooky, wander off, or just not show up to school…would you try to find them? What if it were very easy to find out where a student is depending on their phone's location?
As you know, students are very connected and it's all thanks to smartphones. A new app has just hit the Apple App Store and it's designed to help family members or friends find out where another person is. It's an advanced version of the 'Hey Where Are You?' app that simply requests a person's location. This one actually seems to give you the person's location. The only thing they need to do is have given you permission at some point to track their location. It's also available for the iPad but that seems only worthwhile if you have an iPad with 3G. Here's the skinny from the company that built the app:
Family Tracker App For the iPhone 4 Tracks Users 24-7
The first iPhone app dedicated to tracking family members.
Longwood, FL – July 27, 2010 — After the success of their Sex Offenders Search app, LogSat Software released an update for another of their iPhone applications – Family Tracker. Family Tracker allows you to track your wife, husband, children and fiancée 24/7 using the new multitasking feature in the Apple iOS4.
The new Family Tracker runs in the background on the iPhone, constantly updating its GPS location. Spouses can thus instantly know their partner has safely reached their destination at home, work or during long trips. Parents can know if their children are exactly where they should be, and didn't sneak out without permission. The location can also be viewed from a web browser, so a parent without an iPhone can still easily locate the family members. Privacy concerns are nonexistent , as the owner of the iPhone has to give prior consent in order to be tracked. Family Tracker allows peace of mind be letting you know where all your family members are at all times.
Family Tracker for the iPhone retails for a one-time purchase of $3.99. AT&T offers a similar service that instead costs $14.99/month.
It's a good bargain, though, compared to AT&T's similar service that can cost $15/month. Family Tracker has a one-time payment of three dollars. Locations can be viewed from a browser, so you don't even need an iPhone to play the most dangerous game—though your quarry does. Available here, now.
What do you think? Should teachers or schools use this app? Should families? Weigh in on Twitter by mentioning @edudemic or over on Socially Learning!

Final urbanism studio presentation DFS presenting the futuristic life in the city of Akko Israel. Soon to be uploaded to our behance blog at: www.deformation-studio.com N-Joy. @nimrodmeirlevi (at Akko)
Air-Plane - Skyscraper
Lets imagine a world without borders, a world which vicinity isn't dependent on geographical or cultural regions. A world in which the real and the virtual intertwine to become one. Imagine a worldwide section plane that gathers people, spaces and emotional landscapes from all around the globe into a defined physical space .
Re thinking of the skyscraper's essence brings to mind a great deal of spatial, sociological, technological and urban issues. The main questions we decided to explore were:
A. Does a city's municipal orders apply to the skyscraper's high levels in the manner it applies to it's lower levels?
B. Is it possible to provide individual values to certain living spaces in a tower and not lose the essential social interaction between tenants?
C. What is the sustainability potential of the skyscraper in the 21St century?
The way in which skyscrapers are built around the world today and especially in Israel derives from the modular building perception of - Form Follows Function. In our opinion this approach blocks possibilities of new architectural spaces, though it does provide an efficient functional solution to the ever-growing density of the population in the 21St century metropolitan.
Dizengoff Street is an important central axis in the city of Tel-Aviv which connects it's central and northern areas. Dizengoff square is located in the first 1/3Rd of the street and known to be an important historical urban landmark (more so in the past as it's original planning did not separate between the pedestrian and transportation).
The current neglected state of the square has raised an architectural dispute that debates the square's revival possibilities. In an area where skyscrapers dominate the city's silhouette it is logical to assume that the square will transform and become a vertical entity.
Following the same logic the vicinity's planning principle is also being challenged. The human representation and the way we interact with each other in the 21St century has changed dramatically, as interaction is developing virtual characteristics which require new architectural solutions.
The urban tension induced in place, and the two key issues mentioned above provide the platform to rethink the nature of the 21St century skyscraper.
Project Concept
The project examines the possibility of developing a technological system that would allow skyscrapers of its kind to produce new states of neighborliness, IE similar to the cloud systems on the Internet (server->www->client). The architectural cloud system would allow one regardless of it's physical location to rent / buy a space in a foreign building where he could share his life experiences with other local tenants of the building in which the system resides.
Infiltrating light into the skyscraper's interior's led to a metaphorical thinking of the central space of the building as a "Source" that nurtures the different needs of the building. The architectural characteristic of such space would enable the positioning of the architectural cloud system which holds a great deal of sustainable potential. Such potential would be generated by a solar system which would provide converted photoelectric energy to all the apartments.
The perception of space as a "Source" takes form as a main atrium with small public spaces spreading on it's route. Light further serves as source for: digital libraries, meeting places and Internet service providers.
As an essential part of the technological system a self-sufficient unit would be developed as an architectural cloud system and as an energy transfer terminal. The unit would be located on the building's facade so that it could be exposed to direct sun light.
The design perception of the building is inspired by the aesthetics of recycled materials\element that would render the appearance of construction ''sublime''.

Building Technology Studio 3ed Year 1st Semester - Small Space Neighborhood Rave Club
///Architecture : Roy (Roi) David
Florentine corner of Gotham Street
My final presentation of my 5th semester at school was very intense but very fulfilling. The project is located in south Tel-Aviv at Florentine neighborhood, Yedidya Frenkel street. The main narrative was to take the existing industrial corrosive materiality of the neighborhood and to create a new interpretation to it in a form of a new hybrid building.
I approached the challenge in two different ways:
1. A parametric programming algorithms.
2. Analogy between corrosion effect and the building states.
As to the first approach i took 10 microns pictures of a corrosion in 4 different materials such as : Aluminum, Brass, Titanium and Iron, and created an algorithm that was design to create 3d maps out of the pictures. After i had 4 3d maps the next quest was to convert them into 3d morphology. You can obsorve the final product in the Titanium skin middle building in the pictures.
The second approach was based on the dictionary translation of Corrosion:
"Corrosion is the disintegration of an engineered material into its constituent atoms due to chemical reactions with its
The corrosion perception which i researched this semester is based on the idea that a building ,in their current appearance, will always strive to destruction or depart to it's smallest particles.
The physical factors for this process are:
1. Gravitation
2. Nature and Climate
3. Humanity
The metaphysical factors are:
1. Abundance
2. irrelevant urbanistic context
All that being said, when we take Time and Interaction as a permanent factors we come to the understanding that there is no eternal beauty, there is no permanent
The corrosion theory will not fall to nihilism, it understands that we do need to find the best solution for architecture to exist so it will try to take a step back before all become lost and try to capture the moment before the final demolition
and start the architectural creation from that picture frame.
Enjoy my Art, Soul & Mind.
I wish all of you watching this to find peace with you inner voices that sometimes make us all do stupid hurtful things so your deeds will become love and art.
And he who understands must understand.

Municipal Tax Rates
in St. Louis County, MO
Three principal sources of municipal revenue in St. Louis County are sales taxes, property taxes and taxes on utilities. Rates vary among the 91 cities in St. Louis County, but all cities receive a substantial portion of their revenues from these sources.
Sales taxes: Retail sales in St. Louis County are subject to state sales tax (4.225%), a transportation sales tax (0.5%), a mass transit sales tax for Metrolink (0.25%) a children's services sales tax (0.25%),and a Regional Parks and Trails sales tax (0.1%) plus a one percent (1%) local sales tax that is distributed among the 91 municipalities and St. Louis County. St. Louis County's share is based on the unincorporated population of St. Louis County. Thus, the base retail sales tax rate throughout St. Louis County is 6.325%. Local Sales Tax rates are monitored by the Missouri Department of Revenue, which is responsible for the collection of sales taxes.
Sales tax distribution: A complex set of rules governs the distribution of the one percent local sales tax in St. Louis County. Some cities, designated point-of-sale or "A" cities, retain most of the sales tax revenues collected from businesses within their boundaries. These are cities that had had local sales taxes before the countywide levy was enacted. Other cities, designated pool or "B" cities, share revenues with others in the pool on a per capita basis. Unincorporated St. Louis County is part of the pool. Legislation passed in 1993 provides for some sharing of revenues by point-of-sale cities: a sliding scale is used to calculate amounts contributed to the pool by point-of-sale cities. Finally, areas annexed by point-of-sale cities after 1995 remain in the sales tax pool. As a result, some cities have both point-of-sale and pool portions and are thus designated "A/B" cities.
Local sales tax rates: In addition to the one percent local retail sales tax that is collected countywide, there are five local option sales taxes that individual cities may levy. (1) The 1993 revenue reform legislation allows cities to levy an additional one quarter percent tax. Twelve and one-half (12.5) percent of that additional money is shared with the members of the one cent pool. (2) Cities may levy an additional 0.5 percent for capital improvements projects. For this tax, cities elect to participate in a revenue-sharing pool or retain 85 percent of revenue generated by this tax. (3) Another 0.5 percent sales tax may be levied for park and stormwater projects. (4) A .25 percent fire protection service sales tax for cities with fire protection responsibilities. (5) Up to 0.5% sales tax for economic development purposes If all of the above taxes are levied by a given city, the total retail sales tax rate is 8.325 percent. In addition, Transportation Development Districts can levy up to 1% in sales tax, and Community Improvement Districts can levy up to 1% in sales tax.
Property taxes: Most but not all St. Louis County municipalities levy a property tax for municipal purposes. Part of the reason for the wide range of municipal rates from zero to $1.27 is that twenty cities have their own fire departments paid for out of city revenues while most of the rest obtain their fire protection and ambulance service from fire protection districts which have separate property tax levies. A few cities use municipal revenues to contract for fire service from neighboring municipalities or fire protection districts. Cities also vary as to what services they pay for with city revenues; trash collection and parks and recreation services in some cases are provided at city expense and in many cases are not. Most cities tax personal as well as real property. Those which do not are indicated in the table as excluding personal property.
Utilities gross receipts taxes: Cities in Missouri are authorized to levy these taxes on utility bills paid to electric, gas, telephone, water and sewer companies. Cities have not levied them on sewer charges, however. For cities there is no maximum rate. Villages levy these charges on the electric utility only at a maximum rate of two percent. Some cities have different rates on different utilities, and some have different rates for residential and non-residential customers.

The Debt Ceiling is vestigal piece of legislative arcana that should be eliminated.
For those in Congress who want to reduce spending, here's a newsflash: YOU CONTROL THE APPROPRIATIONS PROCESS. If you think we shouldn't spend money on something, DON'T APPROVE THE APPROPRIATION.
The Debt Ceiling vote is essentially re-approving appropriations that have already been approved and spent. It's redundant.
Approving an expenditure, then turning around and refusing to pay for it by not raising the Debt Ceiling, is schizophrenic and dangerous. And since the results of not raising the debt ceiling are so potentially catastrophic, nobody seriously considered NOT raising the debt ceiling in the past.
But that was before a major portion of the Republican Party became an apocalyptic cult, convinced the US Government is ever on the cusp of turning America into a distopic socialist hellscape. The debt ceiling empowers the paranoid to engage in highly dangerous hostage taking, and should therefore be eliminated.

The day after Eric Garcetti won a spot in the May runoff for Los Angeles mayor, the city councilman turned his focus to African Americans in South Los Angeles, campaigning in Leimert Park with comedian D.L. Hughley.
"In too many of our communities, especially communities of color, we still have way too much crime," Garcetti told the audience. "We still have too many gunshots, too few opportunities for our young people."

|monazite (mŏn'ə-zīt') Pronunciation Key
A yellow or reddish-brown monoclinic mineral that is a principal ore of several lanthanide (rare-earth) elements. It occurs as tabular crystals in pegmatites, granites, and metamorphic rocks, as well as in sand. Chemical formula: (Ce, La, Nd, Th)PO4.
phosphate mineral, cerium and lanthanum phosphate [(Ce, La)PO4], that is the major commercial source of cerium. Occurring as small, brown, resinous, rather heavy crystals in granitic and gneissic rocks and their detritus (called monazite sands), monazite frequently contains 10-12 percent thorium dioxide (ThO2) and thus represents a major commercial source of thorium as well. Monazite is mined in Brazil, Norway, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, India, and North Carolina. For detailed physical properties, see phosphate mineral (table)

Date of Action: 11 May 1945
USCG Units Involved: USS Durant and Vance
Sinking/Capture/Assist? Surrender
Location: Portsmouth, New Hampshire
Credit by U.S. Navy? Yes
Enemy Warship's Commanding Officer: Kapitänleutnant Friedrich Steinhoff
Enemy Casualties: None
USCG Casualties: None
On the morning of 11 May 1945, four days after Germany had surrendered, the Coast Guard-manned destroyer escorts USS Vance and USS Durant, underway off the Azores escorting their last convoy to the Mediterranean, sighted a light up ahead in the convoy. They closed to investigate. Durant illuminated the target, which was the surfaced submarine U-873, a Type IX D2 U-boat, which had been at sea for 50 days. Vance, while screened by Durant, hailed the "erstwhile enemy" over her public address system, established her identity, and then ordered her to heave to. On board were seven officers and 52 enlisted men.
Vance placed a 21-man prize crew on board the captured U-boat and they delivered the prize at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on 16 May 1945.

When the economy is weak and the market even more unpredictable, good companies falter along with the bad.
A troubled economy tends to strip away any growth weak companies enjoyed in previous growth cycles.
However, because good companies may suffer also, investors need a way to judge a company's performance.
One way investors can take the pulse of a potential investment is to compare how the company is performing relative to its peers.
Yahoo! Finance offers a way you can compare how a company is doing relative to its industry sector and its peers.
Click on the "Investing" tab and choose "Stocks." On this page, look for the link to "Sector/Industry Analysis."
This link takes you to a page that compares the various industry sectors. Other online providers may have a different way of identifying sectors.
Here's how you can use this information.
Let's say you are interested in IBM. Click on the "Technology" tab. IBM is in the Diversified Computer Systems sub-group.
If you don't know where a company is classified, look up its quote and go to the Profile page. How Yahoo! classifies a company is listed in its profile.
Click on the Diversified Computer Systems and you will find a list of the companies in that sub-group. Each company will have a number of financial ratios listed.
At the top of the list are the corresponding numbers for the whole Technology sector as well as numbers for the Diversified Computer Systems group.
You can compare IBM or any other company with the sector and sub-group as well as comparing the company with its peers – such as comparing IBM and Hewlett-Packard.
If you want, you can download this information to a spreadsheet such as Microsoft's Excel.
This is not a recommendation for IBM or Hewlett-Packard and other online providers of financial information offer similar capabilities as Yahoo!.
Always check current news about a potential investment for any late-breaking announcements and so on that may impact your decision.
Investors have a tremendous amount of information at their fingertips. There is no excuse for making investment decisions in the dark.

I chronicle the decline and fall of entitlement democracy
[caption id="attachment_1413" align="alignright" width="193" caption="Cartoon by TobyToons.com"][/caption]
As President Barack Obama begins his second term, democratically returned to office by a majority of Americans who seem to buy what he is selling, it would profit us to pause a moment and examine the discrepancies between the vision he expounded in his inaugural address and the economic reality that surrounds us. This leads to a pivotal question: What, exactly, is the underlying purpose of Obamanomics, and how would we know?
Logic offers two choices. We can take the president at his word, and then ask why the promised economic recovery, growth, prosperity, and equality, haven't arrived yet. Or we can ascribe darker motives to the policies that have brought our country to the brink of ruin. That raises the horrifying possibility—unlikely as it might sound—that precipitating an existential crisis in order to bring about radical change has been Obama's underlying agenda all along.
If we take the high road and accept Obama at his word, as most Americans have, we are led to three alternatives. The first is that the Keynesian nostrums applied to goose the economy—bailouts, stimulus spending, money printing, artificial suppression of interest rates, government "investments" in all manner of money-losing schemes, and a rapid expansion of the welfare state, all with the goal of increasing "aggregate demand"—are working fine. All we need is to give Washington a bit more time, a little more spending leeway, and a few more tax dollars extracted from those who can most afford it, and all will be well.
The second possibility is that the president's macroeconomic policies are not working because they are too modest. Therefore, we must let Washington double down and play an even larger role in the economy, or all will be lost. Notables such as The New York Times' Paul Krugman imply that this is the only way to restore prosperity, and that the one thing holding us back is stingy Republican recalcitrance.
The third possibility is that, noble intentions aside, the Keynesian plan is not working, cannot work, never has worked, and never will work. This implies we need to change course if we want to revive our struggling economy and restore our government to solvency.
The political battle being fought in Washington ranges largely across these three possibilities. But suppose none of them represent reality. Suppose, just for the sake of argument, that the series of deeper and deeper crises the nation is experiencing are not unintended consequences of failed policies but were the primary goal all along.
Yes, this requires taking a trip into the right-wing fever swamps occupied by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. But these days, it seems that only in such decidedly unfashionable neighborhoods are government policies measured not by their stated intentions but by results. Examining the dismal results of the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression through such jaundiced eyes, we come to two alternatives.
The first is that our government is controlled by a group of self-serving, hopeless incompetents locked in mortal gridlock with a rival political party also comprised of self-serving, hopeless incompetents. This is the easiest hypothesis to defend, and the most likely, which makes it safe ground for critics and pundits.
But suppose, just for a moment, that Obama is as brilliant as his supporters say he is. Suppose he knows exactly what he is doing and is not the least bit surprised by the outcome. Suppose he is methodically executing the infamous Cloward-Piven strategy—which, if it is not succeeding in its objective of totally remaking America, you sure couldn't tell by looking at the results.
Yes, I know, much ink has been spilled over this theory, the best being an American Thinker article from 2008, Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis. It's worth revisiting, now that we have had a whole term to watch Obama in action.
The idea that a new age of social justice and redistributive equality can be brought about by overloading government systems until they collapse, precipitating a populist demand for a wholesale rejection of free market capitalism, was first espoused by two Columbia University professors in the 1960s. The idea gained currency in radical circles that included a diverse cast of characters, many of whom make cameo appearance in the life and education of our president and read like a who's who of the American radical left, including Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Frank Marshall Davis, George Wiley, Saul Alinsky, Wade Rathke, ACORN, and George Soros, among others.
Yes, it is possible that Barack Obama has rejected all the radical ideas he marinated in as a young man, just as he claims to have rejected the vitriolic anti-Americanism of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, in whose pews he sat for years and whose sermons inspired Obama's memoir, The Audacity of Hope.
Yes, of course, it is possible that all of the formative influences that made our president who he is are irrelevant to the policies he is enacting now, just as it possible that we are living through a bad dream and that in the morning we will awaken refreshed in a country that is not in the process of destroying itself.

And why should not your arguments, with even greater confidence, not be applied to the Republican positions?
Ascribing evil intentions to others is normally more convincing in terms of illustrating one's own intentions than that of one's adversaries.
I think you'd have a leg to stand on if the Republicans were in power and doing the same things Obama is.
There are many similarities between the Obama and (FD) Roosevelt administrations; the demonized Republicans, the untested economic policies (that didn't work), an electorate seemingly oblivious to the consequences of their votes, and a president insulated from the economic realities of the free market.
The last election really raises questions about democracy that cannot be answered by pointing at Romney's weak campaigning.
When everyone has 5 thousand pairs of shoes, I think shoe ads and marking will be not needed. Or you think more aggressive shoe ads and marketing are needed to educate a man, so he will purchase another 5 thousand pairs of shoes in addition to his current 5 thousand pairs of shoes ????
Philosophy Periodical
Do you think Obama and Democrats really care this Nation is getting getting poorer and deeper in debt every day and the quality of life is decreasing and the misery index is increasing?
The more that flee blue States like Calif. the more Control and Democrat voters the Democrats have in the State. With Democrats it not about the Citizens Welfare, Jobs, Living standards, or the future of this Nation or State, it is about Power, Control and the Democrat party!
If reducing Calif. and this Nation to a suburb of Mexico and this Nation to a bankrupt Third World Slum is necessary to accomplish their goal that is a price they are more than willing to pay.
Normal people thinks no one would be diabolic and sick enough to purposely use policies to reduce the Nation and its population to a state of Poverty, Crime, Misery and Corruption, but you would be wrong!
That is exactly where the Democrats are taking this Nation!
The more Democrats can decrease Education achievement, Reasoning ability, Punish success, Reward failure and increase the Liberal idealogy, Poverty, Welfare and the Entitlement mentality the more Democrat voters they make and the closer they get to a Third World Socialist Food Stamp Paradise controlled Lock, Stock and Barrel by the Democrat party!
The last piece to achieve their goals is nearly in place. Amnesty for the 12 to 30 million criminals and uneducated invading Illegal Aliens. That with chain Immigration for the ones still left in Mexico and Latin American and with a Prolific breeding rate will assure Red States are turned blue and a Democrat majority forever with a Third World Slum here of Crime, Corruption, Poverty and Misery modeled on Mexico and controlled by the Socialist/Democrat party of Northern Mexico!
It is all about Power, Control and the Democrat party and how to use lies, false compassion, poverty and dependency to enslave a free people and a great Nation!
If President Obama was trying to tank the country for political gains, why has:
- Real GDP been growing since June 2009?
- the unemployment rate been declining since October 2009?
- private sector employment been increasing since March 2010?
- the deficit been declining since FY 2010, President Obama's first budget year?
I read this piece thinking it was Sean Insanity, Glen Beck or another sky is falling, cranky, old, white guy. It's not. I did a little research and discovered that Mr. Frezza is afflicted with Rectal Cranial Inversion Syndrome. This all too common disease seems to be contagious.
It's spread to other writers at Forbes who've 'called out' the comment by chiguy where he states 1-"an electorate seemingly oblivious to the consequences of their votes" 2-The last election really raises questions about democracy that cannot be answered by pointing at Romney's weak campaigning. The stench of arrogance and isolation points to another case of Rectal Cranial Inversion Syndrome.
This "particularly interesting" comment has been "called out." Seriously? Is the bar for interesting set under a rock? At Forbes it seems the words "deconstructing" and "interesting" have been rendered flaccid. Frezza's rant is can hardly be described as legitimate analysis. I'll grant that chiguy's comment is loathsome in its myopic arrogant tone but there is nothing interesting about the declarations of person battling this affliction.
Dear Mr. Frezza,
Deconstruction is an analytical technique. The essay here is not analysis buy plain gas-baggery.
Deconstructing Obamanomics: What Is The Real Goal?
Karl Marx stated that these ten planks in the Communist Manifesto would be the test whether a country had become communist or not. Is America a Communist nation? Study the manifesto and the laws that have been passed by our Republican and Democrat politicians, and "you determine" if we are becoming a Communist nation…
The Ten Planks That Are Destroying Our Country – COMMUNIST MANIFESTO.
1. Abolition of private property: The foundation of this nation was ownership of property. The settlers came here to insure private ownership of land and our Founding Fathers made it unlawful for government to own land except for the ten square miles of Washington D.C. and such as may be needed for erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, Dockyards and other needful buildings. Today you don't OWN your home, car, farm or most property. You are just allowed to use it as long as you pay your property taxes, buy a car license, pay for building permits and get permission from the zoning commission. Individual OWNERSHIP is only by virtue of government. To use property we must be in accordance with law and subordinate to the powers of government.
2. Heavy Progressive Income Tax: I believe all Americans understand the IRS. What most of them don't realize is that we didn't have an Income Tax until 1913. Before that year Income Taxes were considered unconstitutional.
3. Abolition of all rights of Inheritance: We now have Estate Taxes, Inheritance Taxes, also called the Death Tax. Many a farm and small business could not be passed on to the next generation, but had to be sold in order to pay the estate taxes. Many times the IRS forces the sale, as it did in the case of the Roy Rogers Museum sale.
L. wants to add,,,
4. Confiscation of property of all emigrants and rebels: Government seizures, tax liens, private land under Eminent Domain, the IRS taking property without due process and even taking "suspected" drug money from anyone carrying large amounts of cash is nothing but government confiscation of private property
5. Central Bank: The Constitution called for Congress to "coin Money and regulate the Value thereof," but since 1913 the Federal Reserve Bank has taken over that duty. The Federal Reserve is a "private" bank that sets interest rates and creates money out of thin air.
6. Government control of Communications & Transportation: Today we have the Federal Communications Commission, Department of Transportation, Interstate Commerce Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration. You are not allowed to drive your car without a license.
7. Government control of factories and agriculture: Our government has gained control of the banking industry, finance, automobile production, energy and health care. Department of Commerce, Department of Interior and the Bureau of Land Management, Department of Agriculture; all of which control land use.
8. Government control of Labor: The Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the minimum wage law control all aspects of American businesses.
9. Corporate Farms, Regional Planning: Corporate Agriculture now controls markets and prices of farm production. We now have Planning and Reorganization and zoning all across the nation.
10. Government control of Education: State and Federal Departments of Education, National Education Association, Outcome Based Education, No Child Left Behind; all paid for with tax dollars.
This is Treason
1. A crime that undermines the offender's government.
2. Disloyalty by virtue of subversive behavior.
3. An act of deliberate betrayal.
1:Undermine: Destroy or hinder normal operations.
2:Subversive: A radical supporter of Political or Social Revolution.
3:Betrayal:To cause anguish to a Ally.
:The Quality of aiding an Enemy.
Dear Bill: Thanks for citing my 2008 article on the Cloward Piven Strategy. I have written much more about it since. Readers can find much of it here: www.crisisnow.net.

To The Editor:
Originally as a member of Alexandria Police Department, and then as Sheriff of the City of Alexandria, it has been my distinct pleasure to work with Ed Semonian, Alexandria's clerk of the Circuit Court. He and his staff are efficient, professional and courteous as they provide essential services to the citizens of Alexandria.
Over the years—and ahead of most other clerk's offices—Ed transformed the Alexandria office into a mostly paperless, computer-driven, online and customer-friendly experience for all of us. Court dockets and filings are available online and the researching of property records is streamlined.
The clerk's website clearly explains which services require an in-person appearance. Applications for those services—such as marriage licenses and weapons permits—are available for downloading. The applicants can fill them out in advance and bring them in. I see no realistic difference between the existing system and that proposed by Mr. Semonian's opponent.
I am also concerned that his opponent admits that he is proposing initiatives without knowing what they will cost. In these difficult financial times, voters deserve to know how much of their hard-earned money a candidate wants to spend.
Ed Semonian does an excellent job for Alexandria. He does it in a modest way and he seeks to serve, not to receive accolades. Ed Semonian deserves your vote on Nov. 8. Please make the effort to give back to him for all he has done for our city.
Dana Lawhorne
Sheriff, City of Alexandria

No matter what match soccer or rugby theres always people in different jerseys together.
what absolute nonsense. why play sport at all if it's not about winning. what contributes to having a good time is your team winning.Originally posted by Danielle
Matches in Landsdowne aren't simply about winning or losing, they are about the atmosphere and having a good time
