It seems as though time is constantly passing us by, but the image of Marilyn Monroe automatically makes time stand still. The forever young and forever beautiful icon would have been 86-years-old today and it is very necessary to honor the inspirational starlet.
The 36-year-old beauty tragically died from a drug overdose over fifty years ago, but even though she was taken from the world too soon, Marilyn is forever remembered in our minds as the beautiful vivacious woman she was.
PHOTOS: Timeless Beauty Marilyn Monroe Covers Vanity Fair
Although Marilyn's career was brief, her work was nothing short of impressive. The actress, who appeared in films like All About Eve and Some Like It Hot, had the ability to light up every scene with her beauty. The icon was so captivating that people could not get enough of her.
The same went for her personal life. People were enchanted by the Hollywood star and wanted to know everything about her. Her style, her boyfriends, her break ups, her marriages, and everything else in-between were all subject to constant criticism, but the icon was merely not phased by the critics. She once said,
"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
This quote has resonated with women everywhere.

The ravishing and intelligent woman has always been an inspiration and it seems as though her legacy still resonates with today's starlets. Ladies like Lady Gaga, Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera, Nicki Minaj, and so many more have donned Marilyn Monroe's infamous blonde locks and fabulous style in ad campaigns, on red carpets, and sometimes in everyday life, in hopes of mimicking the glamour Marilyn exuded.
Today we celebrate a woman who inspired us and lit up our worlds with her exceptional beauty! Happy Birthday Marilyn Monroe!
Check out some of today's starlets who have been inspired by Marilyn Monroe in the gallery above.

Legendary racer Carroll Shelby, the larger-than-life Texan who created the brutal 427 Cobra and beat Enzo Ferrari, died Thursday night in Dallas after a lengthy illness.
He was 89. No cause of death was disclosed.
Born in Leesburg, Shelby attended Woodrow Wilson High School in Dallas and started racing on weekends while working as a chicken farmer and dump-truck driver.
Best known probably for his Shelby Cobras and Mustangs, Shelby was a highly accomplished racer in the 1950s before he began building cars.
The lanky Shelby, who favored black cowboy hats and flashed cinematic smiles, won three national sports-car championships in the U.S., posted a victory at the prestigious 24 Hours of LeMans in 1959 and set land speed records at Bonneville. He was twice named Sports Illustrated's "Driver of the Year."
A bad heart forced Shelby to quit racing in 1960, and he began developing the first Cobras and Shelby Mustangs shortly after that.
In 1963, Shelby took a team of Cobras to Europe to race arch-enemy Ferrari as well as Porsche and Jaguar on their turf. In 1965, he wrested the Grand Touring World Championship away from Ferrari. He and drivers Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant returned to Europe to win LeMans in a Shelby-prepared Ford GT40 in 1966 and 1967.
Shelby, who contended with heart problems for most of his adult life, got a heart transplant in 1992, later receiving a kidney from one of his sons.
At the time of his death, he was founder and chairman of Carroll Shelby International and Shelby American, which unveiled its Shelby 1000 Mustang in New York last month — a street car that can be equipped to produce more than 1,000 horsepower.
"We are all deeply saddened, and feel a tremendous sense of loss for Carroll's family, ourselves and the entire automotive industry," said Joe Conway, president of Shelby International. "There has been no one like Carroll Shelby and never will be. However, we promised Carroll we would carry on, and he put the team, the products and the vision in place to do just that."

A PIG in brine in the bathtub, many nude surprises and plenty of getting locked out . . . holding an open-for-inspection can be a hazardous exercise for Queensland real estate agents.
As the year winds up agents have reflected on some of the funny incidents they have dealt with when holding open homes.
One agent was stuck with a six-year-old when his family left without him and another had to fish a potential buyer and then her thongs out of the home's pond.
While most open-for-inspections for agents are run of the mill, some stand out more than others.
Kelvin Spence from Harcourts Browns Plains was doing an inspection with a lady in the home of an Islander family.
"I was following her through a two-way bathroom when she gave a scream and fell backwards almost into my arms,'' he said.
"Upon looking to see the cause of the fright I found it was a pig in brine being prepared for celebrations. It looked very much like a human body.''
Moto Waters of Ray White Surfers Paradise Group ended up in the water when she tripped and fell into the swimming pool in front of the prospective buyers.
Craig Loudon, of WJ Tobin, had a large family turn up and it wasn't until they drove off that he realised they had left one behind.
"The parents didn't have a mobile phone and I didn't want to be alone in the house with the child so I remember calling the owner and saying `I have a problem here', so the owner ended up coming home and we eventually contacted the parents. The buyer who left the child behind said, `oh thanks', and that was an hour later.''
There were plenty of home owners caught in the nude, amorous adventures stumbled across and even an affair between agents uncovered at open homes.
Instead of being a witness to amorous shenanigans, Amanda Becke of First Residential Realty managed to become the focus of it after showing an East Brisbane home. She texts potential buyers thanking them for attending and also each night sends her husband who works in a North Queensland mine a goodnight text message.
After a huge day they became mixed up and the message for her husband went to all her contacts.
"The boss and all my male colleagues thought it might be my new way of getting deals over the line. I just thank God it wasn't a video and the text message was loving and not raunchy.''
Instead of getting locked out of the house, Dwight Ferguson of Ray White Ascot recalls one of his agents locking potential buyers inside a Clayfield home. It wasn't until the owners came home that they were let out. "Lucky the owners saw the funny side,'' he said.
Dogs featured prominently in agents' tales of woes.
In Cairns a neighbour brought his elderly dog into a vacant property for a look and the animal promptly left a deposit on the floor of the master bedroom.
"I was wandering around like 'what's that horrible smell?', and found the poo in the middle of the room. The neighbour had to pick it up with his hand as there was nothing else.''
At Cooloola Cove a Raine and Horne agent opened the doors and was hit with an overwhelming odour.
"The previous owner was in a relationship breakdown, and had fled and left a full fridge/freezer of food. He had not paid his bills so the electricity had been cut off. I managed to get the fridge out of the house. The first buyers came early and found me on my hands and knees scooping rotten food into garbage bags.''
Katrina Walsh of Ray White Broadbeach was showing off dual international John Brass's home when two boys who were playing on the fence let out his alpacas.
"I had to chase after them running through long grass with high heels and a long skirt. A lady who was looking at the house decided to help me round up the alpacas and one spat right in her face. She still bought the property though.''

For fans of a 2 in 1 deal, get a suitcase and a daypack in one with the Osprey Women's Waypoint 85 Travel Pack. This versatile travel pack carries with the comfort of a backcountry pack, but was designed with the rigors of travel in mind. Interior clothing straps keep your clothes organized and wrinkle free, while the magazine pocket keeps your reading material and smaller items close at hand. The bag has a handle to act as a suitcase, or a detachable day pack for day hikes and smaller trips. IsoForm harnesses promote a custom comfortable fit like a backcountry pack that allows for seamless transition from airport to trail head. Constructed with the dimensions of a woman's torso in mind. I had a dream the other night about working at Moosejaw Mousineering. It's like my subconscious had a typo and just went with it. They specialized in mountaineering for mice. That seems like a quality untapped market opportunity to me.

Black Swan Green
By David Mitchell
(Random House Trade Paperbacks, Paperback, 9780812974010, 304pp.)
Publication Date: February 27, 2007
Other Editions of This Title: Compact Disc, Hardcover
Categories: Literary
From the author of Cloud Atlas, now a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon, and Hugh Grant, and directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer
From award-winning writer David Mitchell comes a sinewy, meditative novel of boyhood on the cusp of adulthood and the old on the cusp of the new.
Black Swan Green tracks a single year in what is, for thirteen-year-old Jason Taylor, the sleepiest village in muddiest Worcestershire in a dying Cold War England, 1982. But the thirteen chapters, each a short story in its own right, create an exquisitely observed world that is anything but sleepy. A world of Kissingeresque realpolitik enacted in boys' games on a frozen lake; of "nightcreeping" through the summer backyards of strangers; of the tabloid-fueled thrills of the Falklands War and its human toll; of the cruel, luscious Dawn Madden and her power-hungry boyfriend, Ross Wilcox; of a certain Madame Eva van Outryve de Crommelynck, an elderly bohemian emigré who is both more and less than she appears; of Jason's search to replace his dead grandfather's irreplaceable smashed watch before the crime is discovered; of first cigarettes, first kisses, first Duran Duran LPs, and first deaths; of Margaret Thatcher's recession; of Gypsies camping in the woods and the hysteria they inspire; and, even closer to home, of a slow-motion divorce in four seasons.
Pointed, funny, profound, left-field, elegiac, and painted with the stuff of life, Black Swan Green is David Mitchell's subtlest and most effective achievement to date.
David Mitchell is the author of the international bestseller The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, named a best book of the year by Time, The Washington Post, Financial Times, The New Yorker, The Globe and Mail, and The New York Times; Black Swan Green, which was selected as one of the 10 Best Books of the Year by Time; Cloud Atlas, which was a Man Booker Prize finalist; Number9Dream, which was short-listed for the Man Booker as well as the James Tait Black Memorial Prize; and Ghostwritten, awarded the Mail on Sunday/John Llewellyn Rhys Prize for best book by a writer under thirty-five and short-listed for the Guardian First Book Award. Hailed as "the novelist who's shown us fiction's future" by The Washington Post, Mitchell was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time in 2007. He lives in Ireland.
"Mitchell's rendering of time and place in this new book has a warm and lived-in feel. . . . [W]hat Mitchell has set out to do here – to capture the flux of youth, and to dazzle the reader with everyday, awkward human interaction rather than clever narrative conceits – is risky and rewarding. . . . Mitchell's obvious efforts to please the reader work wonderfully, and the novel is never less than tremendously engaging. . . ."
—Toronto Star
"Warmly personal, funny and as matter-of-fact and grounded as [Mitchell's] other books are enigmatic and lofty, Black Swan Green has a strong autobiographical flavour. . . . An easy and enjoyable read, Black Swan Green is at its most compelling when the dialogue is fraught with tension. . . . [I]t offers more in the way of intimacy [than Mitchell's other work]: It offers a friendship with its precocious and well-meaning young narrator that persists well beyond the last word."
—The Globe and Mail
Praise for David Mitchell:
"David Mitchell entices his readers on to a rollercoaster. . . . Then – at least in my case – they can't bear the journey to end. . .a complete narrative pleasure that is rare. . . .Powerful and elegant. . . . He isn't afraid to jerk tears or ratchet up suspense – he understands that's what we make stories for. . . . He plays delicious games with other people's voices, ideas and characters."
—A. S. Byatt, The Guardian (UK)
"Audacious, exhilarating. . . . A formidable creation. . . . [Mitchell's] brilliance takes one's breath away in a manner not unlike a first experience of Chartres or the Duomo. It is a pleasure to sit inside such an edifice, and to marvel. Repeat visits are in order. Each time, a little more structure is revealed. Each time, the space grows less intimidating. Until, finally, it is just a book, one that you are reading with amazement and delight."
—The Globe and Mail
Praise for Cloud Atlas:
"Cloud Atlas is a head rush, both action-packed and chillingly ruminative."
"Mitchell has the imagination and technique to deliver a fully figured world with its own language, landscape and customs. An astonishing range of textures and voices are combined to make these worlds feel real. . . . An exorbitant artistic effort has yielded an overwhelming literary creation. . . . Mitchell's storytelling in Cloud Atlas is of the best."
—The Independent

'Predators' is the closest yet, but still doesn't reach the original
The genius of the original "Predator" was that it started off as your basic military action flick, with Arnold Schwarzenegger leading a team of military commandos into hostile territory. Heavy-duty weaponry was fired, bad guys were killed, things got "blowed up real good." Plus there was Jesse Ventura's immortal line: "I ain't got time to [...]

Page Text editor

Hi again I have chose frog over cms made simple as frog seems to be far more flexible and intuitive for both the designer and end user, but the page text editor seems to be very clunky and doesnt work properly; For example, the numbered order list doesnt seem to work and the h tags do strange things such as putting all the text into a single line. Do you have any plans to introduce a more effective page text editor? |
1493 posts
There is always the TinyMCE editor which can be used as a plugin (available here). It also helps to know how the Textile and Markdown systems work — both take a bit of getting used to, in my experience, but both have good documentation out there (Google to the rescue!) although maybe you have looked at them already. Which text filter are you using at the moment? My own hope is that WYMeditor will get a Frog plugin treatment someday. My own skills aren't up to the job! |
11 posts
Hi David I have tried using both but they are difficult to use, and trying to explain this to a novice user would be a bit of a nightmare. Great cms system though, i have used fck editor in the past and that is a great rich text editor. |
1493 posts
Ack – forgot to mention that FCK is also available as a plugin for Frog (from same link as the one in my note above). I know what you mean about Markdown/Textile — I'm happy with either, but I know plenty of people who aren't! |
67 posts
Hi Sentex, When you say numbered order lists do not work would you like to elaborate ? I have taught a number of my clients Textile and they love it. They get in touch with me if they are doing something for the first time or something a bit trick, but in the main they find it very easy. Cheers Dave Porter |

HI The tinymc is a much better editor than markdown/textile. Will certainly add frogcms to my links page once i have tackled the design implentation and built a successful site. Thanks again David, the support has been great. |

My main reservation against these all singing – all dancing editors is that it gives the end user too many facilities. They play around with the myriad of features provided and half of the feature are not covered in the CSS, then they run to you asking why the pages look funny ! |

@davep – that's why WYMeditor is so appealing: "WYMeditor has been created to generate perfectly structured XHTML strict code" … among other things! |
191 posts
davep, Not trying to hijack this thread, but it was good to hear your comments about Textile, Markdown and TinyMCE. I wondered what other Frog CMS developers were setting up their clients with, and what the clients response have been. I've been using Markdown with great success, but wondered whether my clients would find using TinyMCE easier to learn. The "dancing editor" comment made me smile, since giving the end user too many options is problematic. Sentux, for your clients, are they looking to make many formatting/styling changes to content? Is that why you're looking for a full-fledged editor? |
11 posts
Not really editing limitations, but i found the markdown and textile editors clunky and confusing and i design sites, so how difficult would it be for clients? I just find the tinymce makes more sense, i think its more logical! |
191 posts
Before I started using Frog CMS for websites, I used WordPress and Textpattern. I found that clients using WordPress (and TinyMCE) got carried away with all the formatting options, and made some bad choices for styling content. Much of it I think is often driven by how the client uses Microsoft Word to format documents, bolding headings rather than using styles. |
184 posts
Not necessarily so, Dave. TinyMCE is completely configurable and can be set up to provide a stable and comfortable set of features to suite users/clients that are familiar with software such as Microsoft Word, without offering features that could (as you point out) break main site styles. Textile and Markdown are handy, but they are fundamentally written for a different user than say, Sally Smith who has decided to have a website to accompany her 30 year old flower shop and whom is a regular user of Microsoft Word which came with the computer she purchased from PC World a few years ago. Ultimately, by having a choice of plugins, Frog allows us to choose an editor that is best suited to the user, which may not necessarily always be suited to the developer. Here are some non-default TinyMCE examples: |

The 4-Hour Body - by Timothy Ferris
Thinner, bigger, faster, stronger... which 150 pages will you read?
Is it possible to:
Reach your genetic potential in 6 months?
Sleep 2 hours per day and perform better than on 8 hours?
Lose more fat than a marathoner by bingeing?
Indeed, and much more. This is not just another diet and fitness book.
The 4-Hour Body is the result of an obsessive quest, spanning more than a decade, to hack the human body. It contains the collective wisdom of hundreds of elite athletes, dozens of MDs, and thousands of hours of jaw-dropping personal experimentation. From Olympic training centers to black-market laboratories, from Silicon Valley to South Africa, Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 4-Hour Workweek, fixated on one life-changing question:
For all things physical, what are the tiniest changes that produce the biggest results?

London Calling: Stressed Europe lashing out?
Peter Clarke
It seems that that investigation has run its course and European Commission spokespeople have been saying action is imminent. The result could be a fine of up to 10 percent of the company's annual sales, which are running at about $70 billion.
Since 2004 Microsoft has displayed a pattern of dragging its heels over European Commission rulings and then paying hefty fines. Since 2004 it has been fined more than 1.6 billion euros (more than $2 billion) mainly for non-compliance with rulings.
Meanwhile the European Union has asked the World Trade Organization to allow the imposition of countermeasures against the United States over aircraft manufacturer Boeing. EU is looking for $12 billion per year because the U.S. has not met its obligation to remove subsidies in the aircraft sector.
The European Union states that the WTO has clearly ruled that U.S. federal and state governments have been providing subsidies that are incompatible with the U.S. commitment to WTO trade agreements and has rejected a U.S. appeal.
However it is not clear that the European Union can do very much in the case of Boeing as it is hedged around with its own commitments to WTO procedures. The EU has said it won't apply sanctions without prior approval from the WTO and the process to obtaining that approval is likely to take up to two years.
But what this does illustrate is that when the going gets tough the tough thinking turn to fines, tariffs and the protection of regional interests.

I don't think they're doing anything that's particularly protectionist.
In Boeing's case it's a matter of levelling the playing field (tariffs to counteract subsidies).
In Microsoft's case, I don't think there's any regional interests at play here. The most popular alternative browsers to Internet Explorer are Chrome, Firefox, and Safari - and these are all developed by US companies.
Perhaps, but oh please, let's just not buy into these squabbles so quickly.
According to this article, Boeing received $4B in subsidies, while Airbus received $18B in subsidies.
It strains credulity, to say the least, that a US company would be more heavily subsidized by the government than European industry is. Whatever the fine points are, this is hardly a slam dunk issue of protectionism by a US company alone.
On the Microsoft browser issue, Microsoft has long made the point that Windows supports any browser. And you can even select your own "default browser." Of course, oh by the way, in order to have the updates installed, IE is needed regardless. However the user doesn't have to be aware of that, right?
Yes, the EU requires that Microsoft makes Windows users aware that other browsers are available and eases rather than blocks their installation.
According to EU's latest finding an earlier version of Windows had a screen page that did this, but Windows 7 does not. Hence the revisited action.
"But what this does illustrate is that when the going gets tough the tough thinking turn to fines, tariffs and the protection of regional interests."
I definitely agree with this comment, however. All of the developed world is "stressed." And in spite of the political rhetoric, rhetoric which must appeal to the masses, whether it makes any sense or not, I think what is happening is that the "welfare state" is finally catching up with us. It has become hard to sustain. There are limits to how many benefits an economy can support, and these have been growing steadily since WWII. Right? Shorter work weeks, early pensions even though longevity has increased significantly, more, more, more free or subsidized health care, in general more benefits for less work.
Why would anyone think this increase in benefits can keep going?
For some insight into this dilemma, I recommend a look at the analyses of economics prof. Steve Keen:
Don't conflate benefits and healthcare, Bert. Healthcare has to be paid for whether "free", "subsidised" or neither. Making it "free" is much, much more efficient than the private healthcare system in the US (we in the UK pay per head about 1/3 what you in the US pay for a similar standard of care). The question you should be asking is not whether we can afford "free" healthcare, but whether you can afford not to have it.
"Making [health care] 'free' is much, much more efficient than the private healthcare system in the US (we in the UK pay per head about 1/3 what you in the US pay for a similar standard of care)."
Far from true, depending how you determine "efficient."
Countries like Italy, to help compensate for the long waits and overcrowding of the public health care system, augment it with a private one.
Health care becomes another entitlement program, essentially, which is either publically funded, as in many European countries, or effectively taxed, as Obamacare. So it definitely belongs with all the other entitlement programs.
The answer to controlling costs of health care, IMO, is going to come from an infusion of automation into the system, much as happened with manufacturing and just about any other industry. Not by merely shifting the costs of the same old labor-intensive system from one segment to another segment of society.
But that's a separate discussion. Fact remains that no one should expect any economic system to provide more and more and more benefits for less and less work, without eventual meltdown.
I mean add up the total amount spent on healthcare (public and private) and divide by the population. That figure for the UK is just over 1/3 the figure for the USA. I'd call that more efficient.
I got that, but I'm merely pointing out that this doesn't necessarily result in a "better" health care system.
All depends on how you define efficiency. There's a reason why people from all over the world come to the US for the most difficult medical treatments, after all. And why the waits for treatment in the US are very short, compared to just about anywhere else.
Efficiency takes many guises.
If you think the US healthcare system is anywhere close to efficient, you are delusional. Just saying from somebody who lived both in Europe and US...
No, I'm saying the US health care system is MORE efficient, depending how you define efficiency.
If you define efficiency as how quickly you can get a doctor's appointment, or an oppointment to have a hospital procedure performed, or access to the very best medical facilities just about anywhere in the world, then the US system is by far the most efficient.
If you look at efficiency as a measure of what percentage of the population is covered by a medical plan, then that's a different matter.
And yes, this is from someone who has lived in Europe, Africa, and the US.
Ever thought of what should - ideally - be the goal humanity as a whole should strive to achieve?
We live in a blessed age where, finally, thanks to automation, we could all produce enough goods to live an excellent life working less and less. We could solve hunger and cure most epidemics.
Instead, we now all compete worldwide towards the lower denominator, at the delight of a small group of plutocrats, masters of the world.
Does it make sense? Or are we just stupid (and greedy)?
Ah yes, the Marxist nirvana. Too bad it doesn't work.
Let's say machines made everything. Some members of scoiety would be adding value to the system, perhaps by designing better machines, perhaps by maintaining the machines, perhaps by providing entertainment for the rest.
The economic system would still need to reward those that provide the added value that matters most to the rest of us. In part, these rewards encourage society to produce, to educate, inidviduals that will provide these services in the future.
No matter how you slice it, society will continue to reward most those that do what few people can or will prepare themselves to do. And will reward less those who do what more other people can do just as well.
I get your reasoning and it is clear that many western countries...and the west as a whole, needs to live more frugally.
But many people are angry when they see THEIR benefits being cut (the end of final salary pension schemes, the diminuation in real terms of state pension, the increase in retirement age, and so on) when they read anecdotally about soccer players, celebrated personalities, fat cat bankers and politicians who seem to avoid tax and have more money than they know what to do with.
It's misleading to claim that "governments are seeking to impose austerity measures on a public that is increasingly left-leaning". After all, the austerity-wielding governments in Germany, UK, Greece and Spain were popularly elected---people do realize that structural excessive deficit is unsustainable.
An important reason for the protest is the perceived lack of accountability of the financial sector. While it's clear that the banks' appetite for risky, highly profitable financial instruments contributed greatly to the crisis, they disclaim and avoid the sanctions for past damage, and resist transparency and regulation designed to prevent future problems.
We're supposed to be EEs on this site, right? So maybe this analogy, as fragile as analogies can be, will demonstrate what I think the issue has become.
Design a typical amp with negative feedback, to make it stable. If you don't carefully isolate the load from the feedback circuit, what can happen?
If the load is has just a little bit too much capacitance, at first everything works right. But after a few seconds, hisssss, it goes into oscillation and quits working as an amp. All of a sudden.
Economies are similarly systems with feedback loops. Politicians are notoriously unable to appreciate when their promises might introduce too much load capacitance.
Interesting analogy.
But we can never be sure how close it is to global economic reality.
An analog electronic circuit is relatively simple and easily modeled mathematically. Global economics are highly complex, and chaotic.
But that's exactly my point. As much as you have to be careful when you design electronic circuits, for effects that might not be immediately intuitively obvious, the economic system is far more complicated.
Facile promises made by politicians to get more votes, which typically means promising more and more benefits over time, for less and less work, are hardly enough to guarantee that this will happen. Instead, we get the stressed out economy we have reached now, for instance.
As shareholders, we should "impose austerity measures" on our overly paid CEO's, VP's and board members. It seems they have felt no pain in our recent economic trouble. How many companies that received gov't aid and/or filled bankruptcy while their Exec. Teams also received bonus. Look at United Airlines, their CEO took in 100's of millions as restructuring while flight attendants lost dental and eye coverage and their retirement was neutered.
This is the story the world over, the fat cats you describe are also moving labour to poorer countries and mechanising making it more difficult for the lesser educated to get jobs. The problem is that really they should be taxed for any measure that reduce employment that way the government can still balance the books and not have half the population out home, work and food. traditionally governments taxed the middle class but with that shrinking money has to come from somewhere but fat cats have too much influence in government so the funds dry up.
If you move labour to a poorer country, you are not reducing employment, just moving it. And surely the benefit of mechanisation was sorted out in the 18th century!
True, you shift labor elsewhere. It becomes a variant of "foreign aid."
However, displaced workers in the "donor" country have a legitimate beef against these practices, at least until the economy readjusts itself to the new reality.

Don't kill a potentially golden Goose
17 Sep 2012
RYAN VREDE writes Johan Goosen is the brightest Test flyhalf prospect to emerge since Henry Honiball but he is still raw and must be judged accordingly.
I don't share the same certainty about Johan Goosen that many others seem to. I simply haven't seen enough of him at Test level to make such an absolute judgement. I have, however, been impressed with his cameos against Australia and New Zealand in the last fortnight and sense that he is a special player.
I wrote last week that I didn't agree with Meyer's faith in Morne Steyn, faith later proven to be misplaced as Steyn capitulated under the pressure to save his Test career in Dunedin. Yet I understood Meyer's reservations about starting Goosen off the back of a lengthy injury and against the world champions in their back yard.
Now there can be no reason offered for Steyn's retention that will satisfy sufficiently. Goosen must start in the remaining fixtures.
As South Africans our desperation to see a flyhalf that inspires has peaked. Honiball set an imposing standard, particularly during the Springboks' period of dominance in the late 1990s. A punishing defender and an attacker with a broad repertoire, Honiball has for years been the benchmark for South African 10s. But we've expected a ready-made Honiball, this when the man was himself refined in the Test cauldron. Time was that refiner and time will be so for Goosen.
We must resist the poisonous habit of dismissing the aptitude of our best young talent if they struggle in their formative period. Test rugby is result-driven, of course, but the potential of some players demands our patience, with a view to a long term gain from them. Goosen is undoubtedly one such player.
He may well make the transition from Super Rugby to Tests with the ease that, say, Frans Steyn did. His temperament appears to be excellent, which is vital to success, while he has good all-round technique and an X-factor.
But he may not enjoy as comfortable a start as Steyn did. Furthermore, his success is not entirely in his control (much depends on the platform he is serviced with). He may struggle to meet the unique demands of the game and may yet be adversely affected by the pressure and expectation associated with steering the Springboks' ship.
If we agree with the premise that Goosen shows immense promise, then it is important that we temper our expectations of him. I'm not suggesting that we tolerate mediocrity, only that we show an appreciation for the growing pains that accompany his elevation into the most high pressure position in the game.

Despite the result for SA, their last match was a step forward for Meyer, whatever anyone thinks about his gameplan a new coach always deserves some time to get it right.

18 Sep 2012, 02:33 amI wouldnt call M Steyn useless, the guy has saved the Springboks on many occations. He is just not inform, overplayed. I am sure he would be happy to have the home leg with him spending time with his new child, any person would.
So to be left out for the home leg wouldnt be a bad thing for him.Goosen, may be the "golden egg" and i agree, at test level we have seen diddly squot to make an assessment on him yet. I think Lambie should start on the home leg and let goosen warm the bench, as lambie has a wee bit more experience. The backline coach did say, a while back that lambie is a flyhalf.
Its amasing, reporters build these kids up to levels so high that when they dont reach these levels its a catastrophe. ONe thing I dont get is why we compare and group players with previous greats? Whats the point? Only to be disapointed. I mean why campare a kid to Honey balls when Goosen is a person who is uniquely different like everyone else?
Why say somebody is the next Matfield or Botha etc?
Does the person not want to be who they are than some chap in history?
Are they to stupid to be themselves… -
18 Sep 2012, 02:59 am@Greenies-157: The backline coach said Lambie should be regarded as a 10 but Heyneke said recently that he should play 15. Whichever is the case, I feel for Lambie. During the last 320 minutes of test rugby he was given 15 minutes in total !!! If HM does not want to pick him, send him to the Sharks to get some time on the park.
HM said on SABC2 last night that the criticism of Zane Kirchener was unfair. The interview was in Afrikaans and therefore he was not misqouted or misunderstood etc. According to HM, Zane had a few solid performances: this indicates to me that Lambie will not be picked in the starting line-up (once again !!) -
18 Sep 2012, 09:28 am@RL-156:
Well I wouldn't recommend you or anyone betting their house on a win, but for sure, beating South Africa at home is a big ask for the AB's.

Your print will be protected in a re-sealable plastic photo bag and sent in a protective envelope.
I am an artist and designer working on lots of different projects from art licensing my own artwork to painting, drawing and of course creating the antique prints you see here in my shop.
I've loved all things vintage for as long as I can remember and for many years have collected all sorts of curiosities and interesting objects from antique shops and flea markets. The range of ideas and imagery in my shop today, from the vintage to the quirky, come from years of browsing and research in places like this.

UNCG track finds success in opening meet
LYNCHBURG, Va. – UNCG broke two school records on the women's side and the men's team had a 1-2 finish in the mile to lead the Spartans on Saturday at the Liberty Open in Lynchburg, Va.
"Things went pretty well overall for the team," said coach Linh Nguyen. "Although the times weren't as fast as we would have liked, that was the case for the whole meet and not just our team. We competed at the front of every race and ran well for the first time out. A lot of people ran off distances so it's good to see success in something that is not the athlete's main event. I think this gives us a good idea of where we are and the things we need to focus on going forward."
Ashley Schnell shattered the previous school record in the mile on the women's side as she ran a 5:00.68 to finish in first place. That time broke the previous school record set by Jess Weber in 2006 by just over 13 seconds.
Weber saw another one of her school records fall on Saturday as Shaina Sumney set a new mark in the 800 meters. Sumney's time of 2:20.60 earned her first place in the event and broke Weber's mark she set in 2008 by 1.15 seconds.
"Shaina broke a record in the 800 off of about 4 days of running after an injury," said Nguyen. "Ashley broke the record in the mile running alone the whole way. All in all, a solid start to the season."
On the men's side, Joey Thompson and Jermaine Coore ran to a 1-2 finish in the mile. Thompson finished the race in a time of 4:24.95 to earn top honors, while Coore was right on his heels to finish in 4:25.22 to earn runner-up honors.
John Teeter also had a nice afternoon as he set a new personal-best in the 1,000 meters with a time of 2:37.68 to finish in 13th place.
"Jermaine ran very well in the mile, leading the whole way only to get nipped by Joey at the line," said Nguyen. "Joey's race was good as well considering he couldn't run for 5 of the last 6 weeks."
The Spartans will be back in action next weekend at a pair of prestigious events. Some runners will head up to South Bend, Ind. for the Meyo Invitational, while others will go to Johnson City, Tenn. for the Niswonger Invitational.

200m: 62. Jelani Bonner, 25.51; 67. Bill Kane, 28.21

New stars from the NBA playoffs
Wednesday, May 15th, 2013
While the Miami Heat entered the playoffs as a betting favorite to win it all again, they have not been THE story of the NBA playoffs. This year, we've seen a couple of good stories develop with (1) breakout stars and (2) scrappy underdogs.
For any fans who weren't familiar with the Golden State Warriors, say hello to Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. This dynamic backcourt has the range to hit 3 point shots from anywhere on the court, and the team has really bought into Mark Jackson's coaching philosophy. As a #6 seed, the Warriors ran right through the Denver Nuggets (who had the best home record in the NBA) to upset the #3 seed and advance to the second round. They are now in a toe to toe battle with Tim Duncan and the #2 seeded San Antonio Spurs.
In the Eastern Conference, Paul George's star is rising quickly for the Indianapolis Pacers. He's proven to be a big time defender, and a more than capable offensive player. The Pacers look to be in good shape to get past the New York Knicks and advance to the conference finals. You may think they are no match for the Heat, but they were up 2-1 against Miami in last year's conference semifinals, and won two out of three games during the regular season this year. I'm not convinced they will beat the Heat, but it certainly looks like they aren't afraid of LeBron's team.
I also have to give a shout out to the Chicago Bulls. Playing all season without the 2011 NBA MVP, Derrick Rose, and further shorthanded in the conference semis without Luol Deng and Kirk Heinrich, this team is giving everything they have to try and compete. In their first playoff series, they went into Brooklyn and won game 7 on the road. Now, against the mighty Heat, they won game 1 in Miami, and are making new fans all over the league with their "heart, hustle & muscle" (credit to Stacey King).
You can follow the remaining playoff action on our NBA playoff page, where eliminated teams are updated daily.

Tweets: Ann Romney's Last Solo Appearance for Mitt is in Strongsville
Cindy McCain joined Romney at the Ehrnfelt Recreation Center.
tom m
4:18 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Obama just proved that romney is correct that the government gets in the way of progress
"My instructions [have] been, do not figure out why we can't do something; I want you to figure out how we do something," Obama said Tuesday. "I want you to cut through red tape. I want you to cut through bureaucracy."
and followed with
"We're going to cut through red tape. We're not going to get bogged down with a lot of rules"
spin it all you want Obama said it ....and then repeated it again

While Romney stages a "relief event" where he receiving canned goods he bought at Wal-Mart for the photo op. He is collecting food (not needed) and clothes ( have to be cleaned, make work) the Red Cross has told his campaign are not needed or wanted. Maybe this genius should have given blood like the Red Cross asked. He's just a lying liar as the scared workers at Jeep know!!
5:33 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Romney doesn't have to worry about red tape, He will just get rid of FEMA......brilliant
6:27 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Agreed. I actually think the President learned a valuable less from the BP mess.
Namely, when the BP oil leak happened, why all the delays in (a) stopping leak, (b) preventing spreading, (c) cleaning and (d) helping those effected. Boats were sitting idle waiting for permission for several days while some seemed to like watching BP squirm.
Our current gov't has a tremendous amount of bloat and inefficiencies. Trust me. I worked in fed gov't for five years and still shocked. No accountability, metrics, etc.
Many work really work, but there's often no requirement to many others are unproductive or worse. We need to reform government and gov't spending (and our tax code). We are not only broke (if consider unfunded off-balance sheet obligations), but broken.
Either candidate can provide the leadership to fix the deep seated problems. The only question is who will.
7:47 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
Actually if you have been watching the news they have been repeatedly showing the major of Hoboken, N.J. pleading with people for food and water. Also, the Red Cross has been requesting that people do NOT donate blood but money instead.
Scott Sedlacek
8:19 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
Jody is upset that Romney is creating work for people by donating clothes... Hmmm. He is donating - not a good thing you say? Someone gets a job to clean the clothes prior to being distributed - not a good thing you say? You would rather he give blood? I am laughing my coffee right out my nose. :-) Thank you for the morning chuckle
4:33 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Further evidence that Obama is not regulation hound you Republicans have painted him to be. How refreshing is Obama's response to Sandy when compared to Bush's response to Katrina. "Helluva job Brownie".
tom m
4:48 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
thats what you got out of that huh....Obama is telling HIS administration that HIS red tape must be suspended to get things done .........If HIS administraton was so efficient WHY THE NEED TO "cut through the bureaucracy"
6:33 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
I don't know if Obama is, but Dodd-Frank, for example, is a mess. A true mess. Sure, Wall Street might have the resources to comply, but many smaller banks do not.
They have no understand of the impact of poorly drafted or implement regulations. Just because sounds good, doesn't mean it is.
Just consider Sarbanes-Ox. Implemented afte Enron, etc., yet those involved in Enron convicted under old laws. Now SarbOx a huge added cost on businesses.
We need regulations, but need to be much much smarter when it comes to regulations and spending.
Regarding Katrina, FEMA has improved a lot since Katrina, but few understand the gravity of Katrina and how it impacted an entire region knocking out police and basic services. Consider how Obama handled the BP oil spill to understand mistakes continue to be made. Finally, speeches don't matter much. Let's wait a week until we decide how well the response is to Sandy. If bad, I won't blame Obama. It was a massive storm and we're still not prepared for things like this.
Hat's off to those in uniform helping everyone.

Brilliant Joseph! That must somehow also then by the property of transitivity prove Obama is correct about his entire health care overhaul with respect to his estimates of cost. NOT. Point being, stop being so anti-Romney... Instead, you tell me why Obama deserves another term and make your response about his deserving to be re-hired for a job at which he already failed. You may not like Romney, but that does not mean Obama is automatically the correct choice. Maybe you should sit this election out if you have no good reasons to vote for Obama, other than "hope for change", and do not want to vote for anyone else either?
5:27 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
First Colin Powell, the Chris Christi and now Michael Bloomberg ? Can you say " the moderate Republicans are jumping off the Mitanic" ?
5:51 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
I'll tell you who the "real" Mittens is m.z.1. He's the guy who, in the face of a natural disaster, sent his campaign staff out to buy food to give to his rally guests so that they could hand the food back over to Mittens in front of the cameras.....a total empty suit
9:09 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Food not wanted by the Red Cross, by the way. Salvation Army and Goodwill takes food, blankets, old shoes. The Red Cross takes donations, blood, volunteers. Had Mittens ever donated to them in his life, he would have known that. Or even looked at their website?
Red Cross responds: You are NOT helping. "Items such as collected food and used clothing must be sorted, cleaned, repackaged and transported... which impedes the valuable resources of money, time, and personnel."
Tom Brennan
6:56 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Getting back to the local emphasis that the Patch supposedly stresses: much of Northeast Ohio is still dealing with major issues related to this storm, including Strongsville residents who are still without electricity. While the local problems pale in comparision to what is going on in New York and New Jersey, people are still impacted.
So what's the answer: have a pep rally here in Strongsville, as if that's really going to help anything. And by the way, just wondering if there was any "diversity" at this rally. I don't see anyone in any of the above photos who is not white. Maybe the editors could provide evidence of some diversity, if possible.

Let me get this straight. The same folks allegedly Romney was against the auto bailout are now saying there's an ethic complaint if Romney profited from the bailout he was allegedly against.
I say "allegedly" because I've heard from many (including our President during the last debate) that Romney "would have liquidated the auto industry".
Let's start with the allegedly Romney NY Times Op Ed entitled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt". HE DIDN'T WRITE THAT. His title was something like "The Way Forward for the Auto Industry". The horribly pathetically biased NY Times wrote that title.
This is the first time I've heard this. Amazing.
Romney merely proposed an orderly bankruptcy. Guess what, that's what ended up happening after taxpayor funding. A bankruptcy.
I was floored by want I learned this. Here's the CNN link:

Kind of funny Dan, but I was there and do not meet your criteria - I am not #1, #2, #6 or #7. I could easily write a "funny" list for Obama's appearances in Akron. However that would look to be sooooo wrong and un-PC and outrageously discriminatory that it can not be done. I will say that Obama lets anyone in the country and anyone vote regardless of whether they are even who they are suppossed to be... Maybe thats because it mirrors his life.
Scott Sedlacek
9:19 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
The fact that you believe the speaking engagement was only for the above list shows that you do not understand why she was here. It was for anyone with an open mind to have a live experience and be part of the process. To hear a message delivered in person so one could objectively form an opinion unbiased by anything other than one's prior experiences. Everyone was welcome and there were many union members there btw, called TEACHERS.
James Thomas
10:14 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
Untrue Nancy,
Members of the Energy Producing Unions and the United Mineworkers were very welcome.
11:27 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
And yes it's ok for Obama to speak in Wisconsin because he already toured and took care of business on the East Coast. The National Guard has been deployed and the clean up is well under way. This was no repeat of the Katrina response. Chris Christie basically called him a "savior."
Scott Sedlacek
9:23 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
Looking at even the liberal news outlets just this morning, it seems many new yorkers are feeling they have been forgotten about since the storm is over and Obama's tour of duty and photo ops have been completed. Read it yourself, do not take my word for it. And its nice you all of a sudden like C.C. just because he shook Obama's hand and called him a savior! That must be music to your ears...
9:28 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
Very inappropriate Scott S.. In the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster you can find a lot of grief and anxiety. Those people's lives have changed. You will see nothing approaching the incompetence of the Katrina effort. To judge a situation like this on such a short time frame might make for good political fodder but is uncalled for as a fellow American.
Scott Sedlacek
10:16 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
I am currently hosting a family of 4 that was displaced by SANDY, and have sent money and a package directly to 3 other families. What have you done, my fellow American Murphy, to directly help all those with grief and anxiety that you are so concerned about? (besides criticize Romney's actions)
NY Dumpster Diver
10:23 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
Murphy-Solon, I don't find any part of Scott's message "inappropriate". A week from now when people are killing each other for food and water and gas, Obama will be flying the blue skies. His appearance the past couple of days have been nothing more than a slight change of plans while campaigning. I get tired of hearing the snark about Bush and Katrina when the mayor had every chance to do his own job in advance and chose to do NOTHING.
You people act like Obama is a God for doing his job. Does your boss take to the blogs and praise you when you show up for work? This disgrace of a "leader" is ruining this nation and all you can do is kiss his ass? Horrific!
11:40 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
I just wish Republicans would stop and think for just one moment what it will be like when everything is privatized. Our schools, medicare, turnpkes and prisons to name a few. Who is gonna get the best of the best? The people that can PAY. Sure you'll get a voucher for your school or medical care, but when it's not enough...you better have the money set aside. Look Americans, we are not like Mitt Romney, we don't have millions, we don't have any savings. Let's hold on to the systems we were counting on. They want to give you a voucher.......it's not going to be enough!!!!!!!
Jean Williams
12:14 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
Private prisons ??? and you are worried who gets to use the best jails
and one of the reasons "we" dont have any savings is because Obama has restricted the drilling of oil offshore and on cheaper to drill public land, which then causes increased transportation costs on all our foods and goods not to mention my healthcare rising 25% because of my "cadillac plan" which still will not stop when the new healthcare taxes begin .... and as for vouchers GREAT I would prefer vouchers and the additional costs coming out of my pocket VS giving MY portion to the government to doll out
7:52 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
Those were some astute observations Nancy. Our turnpike is profitable and a future revenue stream. If they lease it out for an expedited payday, they'd just spend the money now and the citizens will pay higher tolls. The private prison system now has a large lobbying arm going to state governments to fight non-prison sentences for marijuana possession. The more Americans in prison, the better the bottom line for private prisons...brilliant. Paul Ryan's Medicare voucher proposal is based on the premise that the Federal government can't afford the health care cost curve. So he want to give 72 year olds a fixed voucher and send them off to deal with the very same cost curve the Feds couldn't handle....brilliant. Privatizing schools would bring about the same problems that privatizing prisons and turnpikes would bring.
Scott Sedlacek
8:41 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
I wish you would think a bit here as well with respect to "everything being privatized"... Is it better that everything be government run? List for me the amazing and successfully wonderful efficient government run programs? Name them. ALL of them (I hear crickets). Your comment about "Lets hold on to the systems we were counting on" is typical of someone who does NOT want change, so it makes sense you would vote for Obama (the one who falsely spews hope and change and forward). I will take people running my life over government doing it every day. BTW, Obama has millions and a savings just like Romney so do not try speaking on behalf of Americans and say "we are not like Romney" because we are not like Obama for those exact reasons - Helllllo! Anyway, would you rather work for the government or a rich person? Before answering that I suggest you talk to any formerly employed federal worker.
NY Dumpster Diver
10:27 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
Well Nancy is certainly a Nancy. More Government. HEY NANCY... since when does the government make money to pay for ANYTHING? You know... um like MONEY?
GOOD GOD! Where do you people come from? Government school specimen here folks.
Scott Sedlacek
8:54 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
For all the anti-Romney poster people, I have 1 question. Why not simply list all the great accomplishments of Obama to persuade the republicans/conservatives to vote for Obama? The election is about Obama and his record. If he was doing so well and someone could show me how that is, I may vote for him. But all the Obama supporters do is attack the opposition. It is juvenile at best. Spell it out to me why Obama deserves to be re-hired for a job at which he already failed when measuring HIS performance against HIS own words about what HE was suppossed to do. Forget about Romney or any other candidate you do not like - I would not try to convince you to like them by bashing Obama - that is simply a silly tactic. So, how is Obama the correct choice just because you do not like the alternative? Maybe you should sit this election out or write in a name of someone you think is worthy of your vote. But to vote for Obama just because you do not like Romney is not logical.
Joseph Robert

Scott, I will be more than happy to....
Thank you, President Obama for your many achievements, despite strong Republican obstructions:
+ Led the killing of Osama Bin Laden.
+ Improved US relationships with most allies.
+ Directed killing of several leaders of Al Qaida.
+ Implemented harsh sanctions on Iran.
+ Brought together coalition to remove dictator Gaddhafi from power in Libya.
+ Implemented Obamacare to provide healthcare for millions of people who
previously did not have health coverage, and to mandate several health cost-cutting measures.
+ Ended the discriminatory Don't Ask Don't Tell policy in the military.
+ Supports same-sex marriage.
+ Supports the equal pay act to provide equal pay for women and men.
+ Led the nation out of worst recession (gotten into by Bush) in many decades.
+ Implemented stimulus act to revive economy.
+ Ended war in Iraq, an unnecessary and unbudgeted war started by George W Bush.
+ Began drawdown of war in Afghanistan.
+ Passed necessary Wall Street reform to prevent future financial collapse.
+ Helped turn around auto industry.
+ And, much, much more!
Go Obama-Biden! Vote early!

Although I would like to believe you, I know that no matter what I say about Obama's accomplishments you would have some excuse as to why it isn't true. The hatred towards Obama on the right is so strong that Obama could come out with the cure for cancer, and your side would still hate him. What matters is that I know what Obama's accomplishments are, and I also am well aware of what Obama had to start with in January of 2008.

Also, Medicare is an extremely efficient program. The percent of money spent going directly to healthcare is higher than any private insurance company provides. The reason Medicare is running out of money is obvious....the population is aging and is draining the coffers. Some reform is definitely needed...just not vouchers.

October Jobs report
with the unemployment rate ticking up to 7.9 percent but the economy adding a better-than-expected 171,000 jobs.
At the same time, the number of unemployed grew by 170,000, roughly the same amount -- to 12.3 million. .......................really +1,000 jobs gained thats 20 jobs per state or 1 new job for every 4 counties in ohio

Ann is a class act, just like her husband...
Here is what a lack of class and corruption looks like:
Do you think Obama is a good guy and a straight shooter? Read on, please: Obama has been an economic disaster the last four years, and this Benghazi disgrace is completely unacceptable... This country does not reward failure and dishonesty out of the White House...
You see, it's easy to run on a slogan, like Obama did in 2008... Hope and change, baby... It's much harder to do once you have a record that can be reviewed... He also said in 2008 that if he didn't get the job done in four years, that it would be a one term deal... Well, he hasn't delivered, so time to let him keep his word... Romney/Ryan 2012
2:51 pm on Friday, November 2, 2012
And lets not forget those four who were left to be slaughtered in Benghazi...
Every voter needs to read this excellent article... Very well worth your time...

"This country doesn't reward failure and dishonesty out of the White House"? You just defined the Bush years my man....ha ha ha
4:16 pm on Friday, November 2, 2012
Perhaps, Murphy-Solon, but Bush isn't in this race, and the reason it's as tight as it is, beyond the Benghazi lies, of course, is that fact that Obama has based his entire campaign on blaming Bush for everything... It's like the last four years under his "leadership" don't mean anything... Now, I don't blame him for not trying to run on his own pitiful record, but the voters are no longer buying that blame Bush BS, nor are they willing to accept his stonewalling and silence on Benghazi...

Joseph, imagine that... An attack piece from a liberal rag of a newspaper covering issues that have already been answered or that no one cares about... Meanwhile, they have absolutely ignored the on-going scandal and coverup on Benghazi, which gives them zero credibility as a news entity... They are a mouthpiece of the DNC, just like MSNBC...

Murphy-Solon, you don't know me, and I don't get paid to post or have anyone click on any links... And while I live in VA now, my family is originally from Ohio... First Cleveland, and then Cincinnati... I have family and friends all over the state, so what happens there concerns me greatly... Hence, I post in what I believe... Like you, I guess, but unlike you, I don't call you names or make assertions for your reasons for posting here... Typical Obama supporter, I suppose...

I saw Obama yesterday claiming the new job numbers are proof that his policies are working and that we are in an economic recovery... Fact is, that is not the truth, or even close to the truth...
First, the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9% and the year-to-date monthly average of 157,000 payroll jobs is barely enough to keep up with population growth -- much less make up for the 8 million jobs lost during the Great Recession.
Second, the so-called real unemployment rate (U6) remains elevated at 14.6%, albeit down from 14.7% the prior month. Similarly, the labor participation rate is at 63.8%, up from its multi-decade low but still incredibly weak.
Third, average hourly earnings fell a penny in October and average hours worked fell to 34.4 from 34.5 in September.
Stagnant wages means "we're not generating income," Reinhart says. "That's a problem in terms of the durability of an economic expansion, which is usually fueled by consumption. To get consumption you've got to generate income."
Also, just look at your checkbook. We are paying a lot more for everything now than we did in 2008. The price of gas has doubled. At the same time, wages have gone down, and that's if you're lucky to have a job.
In 2008, 25 banks went out of business. In 2012, 48 banks have gone out of business. Almost double the amount. Does that sound like recovery to you? Don't believe the Obama lies!!
