POINT PLEASANT — Random acts of kindness may often go unnoticed but they seldom go by without sacrifice and hard work.
Most students pass by an inconspicuous, small room in the ninth grade hallway at Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School everyday and seldom give it any thought though a group of six eighth graders are constantly thinking about it and what it means to others.
Behind this secret door are piles of clothing, personal grooming items and nonperishable food which this party of six has collected to give to students in need and they do so under a solemn oath of secrecy to never reveal who receives the help.
The group, which refers to itself as "Pay It Forward" started back in October when a class about bullying brought up an idea to help others in their school. It's not surprising that often kids who are bullied are those without the best clothes or even without enough food to eat. Junior high school can still be a treacherous place for those who are different and those who are going without and no matter how hard a teen tries to hide going without, another teen can see right through it.
Talking about someone getting bullied or seeing someone go without is not a foreign concept for the eighth graders in "Pay It Forward." They said people in the community would be shocked at how many of their fellow students are struggling in some way or another. For this reason, the "Pay It Forward" group devised a plan to make junior high school a better place for some of their fellow students by brainstorming with PPJ/SHS staff about how to collect items and where to store them. The girls in the group, along with members of the National Junior High School Honor Society, teachers, counselors and administration, contacted churches and other individuals who started to bring in donation items.
"Pay It Forward" then received assistance from the Consumer Science Class to wash the donated clothes with help from special needs students. The group was then given a room formerly used by guidance counselors to store its items. Students at the Mason County Career Center are also building clothing racks for the room. Needless to say, the "Pay It Forward" group does a lot of folding…"tons of folding" as they put it and a lot of organizational work on their own time.
Teacher Deborah Cottrill said it's a credit to this small group of eighth graders that they took this project on themselves and developed a plan on their own, showing more than kindness but kindness with initiative. She also said the students have organized this "giveaway" to fellow students with both compassion and discretion.
The group works with administration in determining who is in need and then it becomes a covert operation to observe the student to guess on sizes. Once the items are collected, a member of "Pay It Forward" will casually approach the student about what they've collected. If the student wishes to accept the items they are placed in a bag and are discreetly placed in their locker. The students are always given the choice to turn down the items but those who accept do so knowing the members of "Pay It Forward" have made a promise to never disclose their secret and as everyone who has ever been a teenager knows, secrets are everything.
Some secrets can even bond those who were once strangers such as when a student who received items actually comes up to hug a member of "Pay It Forward" to thank them. This inspires the group to keep growing their project as does simply seeing those they've reached wearing clothes they chose especially for them with the best of intentions.
Right now, "Pay It Forward" is assisting students in grades seven - 12 at PPJ/SHS but it needs help and more donations. For example, they had to throw out a lot of the food they received because it had already expired and there is an ever growing need to keep growing teenagers in clothes.
The heart of "Pay It Forward," are Darrian Walker, Mattie Shuler, Lindsey Oxyer, Teshia Porter, Erykah Roach and Sydney Crawford. The group says they weren't all friends before the project started but now they're bonded for life.
As for that name "Pay It Forward," it was inspired by the book and movie of the same name. Both the book and movie talk about making a difference in the world one good deed at a time for people who are least expecting it and without expecting payback, other than good karma and good deeds turned loose in the world.
For those wishing to make donations of clothing, shoes, coats, nonperishable food items and other personal items (such as toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, etc.) they can be dropped off at the office of Point Pleasant Junior High School during normal business hours.

I am secretly delighted when I find out a one year old isn't walking, yet. I love it when they aren't fully mobile – makes my job easier. LOL I hadn't seen this beautiful girl since her newborn pictures. At that time, I remember commenting about her gorgeous lips. They still are. She had the best crinkly smile – and her biggest smiles were when we took her outside (it was cold!) But even though she started shivering, she loved it. Silly girl! She was truly delightful and such a sweet thing.
Happy first birthday!

Remember Me
AVON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In a recently published report by Eastbridge, a group of leading carriers rated their voluntary products in terms of profitability. This year, as last year, voluntary AD&D coverage received the highest rating, with 43 percent of the respondents selecting it as a 'very profitable' product line. Universal life/whole life was ranked second (with 41%) followed by term life (with 26%). The Frontline Report, Worksite/Voluntary Product Trends 2012, is published every other year by Eastbridge Consulting Group, Inc.
"Although these products received the highest percentage rating them as very profitable, most carriers surveyed actually classified their products as having average profitability," explains Eastbridge vice president, Bonnie Brazzell. Fewer companies ranked any product as 'very profitable' this year. "This year saw major swings in several lines; as an example fewer companies chose long-term disability, cancer, and hospital indemnity as very profitable causing them to fall out of the list of very profitable products," says Gil Lowerre, Eastbridge President.
The voluntary products rated most frequently as 'unprofitable" were dental, vision, and critical illness insurance. "This is somewhat surprising considering that critical illness was ranked first by the survey respondents in terms of growth products in the next two to three years. What's more, both dental and critical illness had the highest growth rate (22 and 20 percent respectively) this past year," adds Lowerre.
The Worksite/Voluntary Product Trends 2012 Frontline Report is conducted every two years by Eastbridge. Information Partner Companies as well as survey participants receive the Frontline Report free of charge.

The Company may utilize up to sixty dancers, ages nine and up, in a regular season. IBT makes it home and is in residence at Peery's Egyptian Theater in Ogden, Utah. The young dancers have the opportunity to work with guest instructors, dance and perform with professional guest artists, develop and dance story themed roles, and help create something really special…a family-oriented cultural activity for the greater Ogden community.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock averages rose Thursday as shares of technology behemoth Apple (AAPL) rebounded and investors watched the U.S. "fiscal cliff" debates with a bit more optimism.
The technology sector was posting the biggest gains in the broad market as Apple shares rebounded by 1.4%. CEO Tim Cook made various media appearances, telling Bloomberg and NBC that an existing Mac computer will be manufactured in the U.S next year and that the company will spend $100 million in U.S. production in 2013.
The stock tumbled 6.4% to $538.79 on Wednesday, its biggest single-day loss in four years on reports Wednesday of a margin hike at one clearing firm and concerns over component supplies falling next year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 40 points, or 0.3%, at 13,074. The blue-chip index began the session up 6.8% in 2012.
Breadth was positive, with winners outnumbering losers 20 to eight. The top blue-chip advancers were Intel (INTC), Cisco (CSCO), Chevron (CVX) and McDonald's (MCD). Sinking to the bottom were AT&T (T), American Express (AXP) and Travelers (TRV). The S&P 500 added 5 points, or 0.33%, to 1,414. The Nasdaq increased 16 points, or 0.52%, at 2,989. The tech-heavy index broke a four-day losing streak. Advancers edged decliners 1.1-to-1 on the Big Board, but losers beat winners incrementally on the Nasdaq. Volumes totaled 3.17 billion shares on the New York Stock Exchange and 1.70 billion shares on the Nasdaq. Aside from technology, the consumer-cyclical, services and basic materials sectors were also in the green. Sector decliners in the broad market included capital goods, financials and energy. On Wednesday afternoon, Republicans made a move to support a bipartisan call to break the gridlock over the "fiscal cliff" talks, especially regarding tax hikes for the richest Americans. As many as 40 Republicans were reportedly pressing for the exploration of "all options." Bricklin Dwyer, an economist at BNP Paribas, and Suvrat Prakash, an interest rate strategist at the firm, said they believe a deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff will be made before year-end and that there's a high likelihood the U.S. debt ceiling will be raised.Select the service that is right for you!

Courtney Highfield is a reporter for FOX 31.
ALBANY, GA -- The Water Gas and Light Commission held a meeting Thursday morning to discuss their January budget.
According to John Vansant the director of Financial Affairs they aren't meeting their monthly projected budget because of the fair weather. They usually make the most money in the winter because those tend to be the coldest months but this year didn't turn out how they expected.
Vansant also said that he feels confident the board will make up for the lost money by the end of the year.
Mayor Dorothy Hubbard said January's numbers do frighten her and she said the board will have to find ways to make cuts in order to make up for the lost money. Hubbard said the community should not be worried about rates increasing though.
At the meeting Vansant also presented a survey that showed how other cities in Georgia handle how much money a person should put down for a deposit and what determines that number. Currently Albany's Water Gas and Light Commission has the lowest deposit and board members discussed possibly raising the amount.

Futures Rise As European GDP Declines At Worst Annual Pace Since 2009
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/15/2013 - 06:51So much for Europe's "recovery." In a quarter when the whisper was that some upside surprise would come out of Europe, the biggest overnight data releases, European standalone and consolidated GDPs were yet another flop, missing across the board from Germany (+0.1%, Exp. 0.3%), to France (-0.2%, Exp. 0.1%), to Italy (-0.5%, Exp. -0.4%), and to the entire Eurozone (-0.2%, Exp. 0.1%), As SocGen recapped, the first estimate of eurozone Q1 GDP comes in at -0.2% qoq, below consensus of a 0.1% drop. The economy shrank by 1.0% yoy, the worst rate since Dec-09. The decline of 0.5% qoq in Italy means that the economy has been in recession continuously since Q4-11. A 0.2% qoq drop in France means the economy has 'double-dipped', posting a second back-to-back drop in GDP since Q4-08. The increase of 0.1% qoq in Germany was disappointing and shows the economy is not in a position to support demand in the weaker member states (table below shows %q/q changes).

President Obama Demands Justice For "Intolerable And Inexcusable" IRS Behavior
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2013 - 23:04We can picture the scene of abject horror at the revelations the President read about the actions undertaken by what must surely have been a rogue element in the IRS. However, as the AP (ironically) reports, Obama believes some IRS employees failed to apply the law fairly and impartially. The blame, it would seem, is being laid at "lax managers'" feet for allowing this practice to continue for 18 months. Jack Lew has been asked to hold those renegades responsible and to ensure it never happens again - or else. Where's Fabrice Tourre when you need him?

10 Scenes From The Ongoing Global Economic Collapse
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2013 - 21:54When is the economic collapse going to happen? Just open up your eyes and take a look around the globe. The next wave of the economic collapse may not have reached Wall Street yet, but it is already deeply affecting billions of lives all over the planet. Much of Europe has already descended into a deep economic depression, very disturbing economic data is coming out of the second and third largest economies on the globe (China and Japan), and in most of the world economic inequality is growing even though 80 percent of the global population already lives on less than $10 a day. Just because the Dow has been setting brand new all-time records lately does not mean that everything is okay. Remember, a bubble is always the biggest right before it bursts. The next major wave of the economic collapse is already sweeping across Europe and Asia and it is going to devastate the United States as well.

Droned At Sea; Navy Launches First Unmanned Jet From Aircraft Carrier
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2013 - 21:27For the first time in naval history, a unmanned stealth drone (the bat-wing X-47B) was launched from an aircraft carrier. As Reuters reports, the launch from the USS George H.W. Bush marks an important step toward expanded use of drones in "providing very long range stealth" capabilities. Seen as a potential answer to the threat of medium-range anti-ship missiles developed by China and Iran; with a range of 2000 nautical miles the X-47B is "strategically very important." Because of its long range and the Navy's need to have it take off and land, day and night, from an aircraft carrier, the X-47B has been designed to operate with far greater autonomy than the remotely piloted aircraft currently in use. That has raised concerns among some organizations worried about the heavy U.S. reliance on drones in warfare and the rising use of autonomous robots by the American military; but Rear Admiral Ted Branch sees it as a "red letter day... we all saw history happen."

JPM Eligible Gold Plunges To New Record Low, And Why It Could Have Been Much Worse
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2013 - 20:44Back on April 25, in the aftermath of the latest epic precious metals takedown, we reported that something odd had happened: overnight, total Eligible gold held in the vaults of JPM dropped by 65%, or 260.8k ounces in one day, to a record low of only 141.6K ounces. Contrast that with the 2 million Eligible ounces the JPM vault at the basement of 1 CMP held when it reopened. Since that moment, many were curious if this may not be the start of the proverbial "run on the vault", and whether JPM's COMEX holdings could actually run out, and if so what happens then. And finally: is the dramatic plunge in gold related to any of this (and certainly to the Bundesbank's repatriation of NY Fed gold for the next five years)? In the ensuing days, JPM's Eligible gold fluctuated in a tight range, until today, when another 22,780 oz were withdrawn from Blythe Masters' metals cellar, bringing JPM's eligible gold to a fresh record low of only 137,377 troy ounces.
But it gets worse...

JGBs Suffer Worst 4 Days In 10 Years As Nikkei Tops 15,000 First Time Since Jan 2008
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2013 - 20:39
The Nikkei 225 just passed 15,000 for the first time since January 2008 no up over 77% from its November 2012 lows. Even "Mr Yen" is worried...
But the real story is in bond land. Twice last night Japanese bond futures were saved miraculously from a third day in a row and at the open this evening JGB futures are looking set for another test of the limit down (though being saved for now) - as 10Y yields spike above 90bps (+5.5bps on the day), the highest in 13 months; and 5Y yields jump another 5bps to 45bps - the highest in 22 months. The last 4 days in 5Y JGBs has been the worst in 5 years (since June 2008) and 10Y JGB's worst 4-days in 10 years (since August 2003). USDJPY is holding below 102.00 as it seems for now the JGB weakness is soaking up the inflation threat (as we discussed here). Amid all of this turmoil, JGB implied volatility is collapsing to 4 month lows - which smells a lot like hedges being lifted along with underlying risk unwinds.

2013 - The Year Of The Non-G7 Rate Cut
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2013 - 20:14Israel's 25bp cut in its policy rate earlier in the week was the 514th reduction worldwide since June 2007 (and Serbia this morning the 515th). As Bloomberg's Niraj Shah notes, Eastern European countries have made the biggest cuts this year as their economies struggle to grow. With the ECB's cut taking its 'real' rate to -0.7%, Belarus has cut borrowing costs by an impressive 500bps in 2013 (more than any other central bank) followed by Poland and Hungary. As we noted last week, it seems the Einsteinian repetition of failed actions is not a fool's errand, instead it appears the domain of the smartest people in the room - or simply fighting the hot money flow drivers with their own weapon (but as Bernanke told us - its not competitive devaluation if we all do it).

Is The South African Mint Short Of Gold?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2013 - 19:24In what may be the strangest story we have seen in a while related to the gold market, it appears $982 million worth of gold has left JFK international airport in New York to some undisclosed location in South Africa. While it remains unclear what purpose this gold serves, it seems the most likely explanation is to fulfill demand for Krugerrands (South Africa's popular gold bullion coin) to meet elevated demand in the face of constricted mine production.

Guest Post: Technocratic Folly: Why Men Will Never Become Gods
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2013 - 17:26When we look at the entire summation of elitist efforts to remake the world, all we see is a naïve reorganizing of a much greater work of art. Life is not perfect, at least, not by our definition, but life is also not a science; it is an emotional creation, with an emotional and spiritual brand of "logic". In reality, they believe in engineering future trends. The elites want godlike power, but the greatest power of god is to create from nothingness. Technocrats do not create. Instead, they violently scoop up what already exists and fumble with it wildly, stupidly, fancying themselves omnipotent, like children lording over the ocean while pretending it's a fish tank. They do not comprehend the substance of what they meddle in, and this is their greatest downfall. You cannot improve on something you do not understand. Fundamental unknowns derail the pursuit of full knowledge, and thus, full control. The universe has its own checks and balances in place to counter the ambitious, striking down thirsty faux gods who reach too high for what they do not respect, and will never deserve.

Late Ramp Pushes S&P To Close At Now Standard All Time High
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2013 - 16:17Thanks to POMO (and the simple explanation of what everyone already knows from David Tepper), the 18th Tuesday in a row has closed with a bright green shade across the screen. Trannies gained 2% but the 25 point gain off overnight lows for the S&P 500 is the most impressive... with gains sustained by more short covering. As predicted first thing today, when we said the S&P 500 EPS multiple will increase by at least 0.15x on the back of POMO, we were not surprised to see the closing print result in precisely this amount of multiple expansion:
Today's POMO: $2.75 - $3.50 billion. Should be enough to expand S&P multiples by 0.15-25x

JOHOR BAHARU, July 14 (Bernama) -- Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin wants Gelang Patah Barisan Nasional (BN) to go all out to defend the Gelang Patah parliamentary seat at the 13th general election, which he said, will be held 'anytime soon'.
The deputy prime minister, who is also BN deputy chairman, said BN should retain the Gelang Patah seat as the state administrative centre, Nusajaya, was located in the parliamentary constituency.
"I call on every member of Umno and BN component parties in Gelang Patah to go all out to defend the Gelang Patah parliamentary seat. There's no time to rest now. We must work hard 24 hours a day to ensure victory for BN."
Muhyiddin said this when opening Gelang Patah Umno delegation meeting, which was also attended by its chief Datuk Abdul Aziz Sapian.
The Gelang Patah parliamentary seat is currently held by MCA's Tan Ah Heng of the BN. The two state seats within the Gelang Patah parliamentary constituency are Nusajaya and Skudai.
The Nusajaya state seat is currently held by Umno's Abdul Aziz, while the Skudai state seat is held by Johor DAP chairman Dr Boo Cheng Hau.
Rumour has it that DAP will field Dr Boo as its candidate for the Gelang Patah seat at the next general election, and that Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) also wants its Johor PKR chairman Datuk Seri Chua Jui Meng to contest for the parliamentary seat.
Muhyiddin said Nusajaya, as the state administrative centre and with its various infrastructures and educational facilities, was among the most developed areas in Malaysia.
Apart from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), the Gelang Patah parliamentary constituency also housed several private world-class institutions of higher learning such as the Newcastle Medicine University Malaysia, Marlborough College and the first Legoland theme park in Asia.
Muhyiddin also reminded Gelang Patah Umno member to set aside their personal differences and stay united to ensure victory for BN.
He said Umno members in Gelang Patah should support the candidates selected by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to contest for Gelang Patah parliamentary and state seats.
"Anybody can be chosen by the prime minister, we just have to give our undivided support and work harder to ensure their victories. Their victories are our victories," he said.
Muhyiddin also called on Gelang Patah MCA members to double up their efforts and work 10 times harder to ensure the party's victory in the constituency.
The success in defending the Gelang Patah constituency, he said would also contribute to the BN's efforts to retain power at the federal level in the next general election.
The deputy prime minister also announced an allocation of RM500,000 for the implementation of various people's projects in Gelang Patah.

NGE >> History and Archaeology >> Progressive Era to World War II, 1900-1945 >> Events >> Great Depression |
Great Depression The
Georgia's Economy in the 1920s Much of the nation was enjoying a manufacturing and production boom in the 1920s, when the price of cotton began to fall in Georgia. By the mid-1920s, the effects of the boll weevil, which first arrived in 1915, had ravaged Georgia's cotton fields and robbed many small farmers of any prospect of making a living. Some abandoned their farms and moved to cities or out of the state. Others forced off their land by foreclosure became sharecroppers on terms dictated by large landowners. On the eve of the Great Depression about two-thirds of farm land in the state was operated by sharecroppers. The majority were poor whites who lived on an annual per capita income of less than $200. Conditions
The root of Georgia's rural depression in the 1920s was the decades-long dependence on cash-crop agriculture. Cash-crop production placed enormous pressure on farmers to plant every available acre of land with cotton, which eventually depleted the soil. Outmoded and careless practices, such as intertilling and the plowing of furrows without respect to the land's contour, further drained topsoil, leaving the land gashed and gullied. Making matters worse, the removal of much of the state's natural forestland eliminated one of nature's most effective barriers to erosion. Georgia's land, economy, and farmers were already wearing out when the Great Depression began. Economic Crisis The depression's immediate impact on Georgia was much like that throughout the nation as a whole. Bank failures were common, and in small towns and communities opportunities for loans dried up. Small business owners were especially vulnerable. Less money in local circulation meant fewer paying customers; with the absence of credit and financing, these business owners quickly went under. Large landowners were usually able to ride the depression out; a small number of farmers who made the transition from cotton production to soybeans, peanuts, corn, livestock, and hogs had resources to fall back on. For the rest of Georgia's farmers (69 percent of the population was rural in 1930), the depression was a catastrophe. First, the state
As the
Even for those with jobs life was far from rosy. The Report to the President on the Economic Conditions of the South (1938) estimated that of the employed workers in the South's largest cities, more than half could not afford "an adequate diet." The report went on to note that among "white nonrelief families" with incomes less than $500, one-third did not have indoor running water, one-half did not have a kitchen sink or drain, and none had gas or electricity for cooking. Despite hard times, Atlanta remained (as ever) optimistic about its future. Many of its businesses and larger retail establishments were able to survive, while some even experienced modest growth. The Black Population For the state's African American population, as the blues singer Lonnie Johnson put it, "Hard times don't worry me / I was broke when it first started out." Condemned by Jim Crow before the depression to inferior levels of education and the lowest-paying menial jobs, blacks were blocked from participating in the state's political system. The income of rural blacks was about half that of rural whites. In the entire state there were only four black insurance companies, one bank (Citizens Trust Bank in Atlanta), and one wholly owned newspaper. According to the 1930 U.S. census, there were 10,110 black professionals in Georgia (out of a population of 1,071,125), the majority being clergymen and teachers. Hospitals for blacks existed only in the largest urban areas. The Great Depression slowed the black migratory stream north but did not stop it entirely. In 1890 African Americans accounted for 47 percent of Georgia's population and by 1930 just 37 percent. By 1940 that figure fell slightly, to 35 percent. The New Deal and Recovery President Roosevelt, who became a frequent visitor to Warm Springs for polio treatment beginning in the mid-1920s, understood the tangled web of Georgia's deep-rooted racial, social, and economic problems
The New Deal's implementation in Georgia, however, was stalled by Governor Eugene Talmadge, who was elected in 1932 on a platform of cutting taxes and state services. He characterized Roosevelt and the New Deal as an outside intrusion into the state's local affairs and a "communistic experiment." He did everything he could (with some success) to slow the New Deal's arrival in the state. However, Talmadge did little to address the state's economic crisis, and in 1936, promising to bring the New Deal to Georgia, state House Speaker E. D. Rivers was elected governor by a wide margin. Rivers made significant strides in implementing much-needed reforms at the state level, but during his second term (1938-40) his administration faced problems of unpopular tax policies and charges of corruption. In 1940 Talmadge won reelection, but the changes begun by Rivers and Roosevelt had already laid the foundation for a new future. The
The impact of the New Deal on the state's lowest-income population was mixed, however. Benefits for poor white farmers were minimal. Because of Georgia's politics of white supremacy and the importance of its congressional delegation to Roosevelt's programs, the federal government bowed to most of the state's wishes to
In the most far-reaching of all reforms, Georgia's cash-crop agriculture, long tied to ever-less profitable cotton production, was broken by Roosevelt's farm policies, which encouraged mechanization, soil improvement, pricing controls, diversification of crops, and hog, broiler, and dairy production. By the end of the depression decade the cotton plantation, the tenant farmer, and the small family farm began to fade—along with agriculture as the mainstay of Georgia's economy. It took World War II to end the Great Depression in Georgia, but it was the New Deal that laid the foundation for a more balanced economy and secure standard of living. Documenting the Depression in Fact and Fiction The state's greatest cataclysm since the Civil War (1861-65) attracted the attention of journalists, academics,
Arthur F. Raper made the plight of Georgia's farmers, black and white, the subject of several influential studies, including Preface to Peasantry, which focuses on Greene and Macon counties; Sharecroppers All (1941); and Tenants of the Almighty (1943), a follow-up to Preface to Peasantry, in which he examines the impact of New Deal efforts on the poverty he had documented several years earlier. A similar work that reached a far wider audience is Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1941), by writer James Agee and photographer Walker Evans, who teamed up to document southern sharecropping and its effects. While the book's primary focus is on three families in Alabama, conditions in Georgia are also well represented. A major
Robert E.
The Great Depression inspired a number of significant works of fiction as well, both during the era and long afterward. Samuel Tupper Jr., who worked as an editor and writer for the WPA guide, wrote the well-received novel Old Lady's Shoes (1934), which provides an insider's view of life in Atlanta during the depression. Milledgeville native Grace Lumpkin's radical novels To Make My Bread (1932) and A Sign for Cain (1935) represent some of the best works of literary social realism produced in response to the depression. The Pulitzer Prize–winning Lamb in His Bosom (1933), by Waycross native Caroline Miller, depicts Georgia's rural pioneers before the Civil War. The antebellum story is an obvious parallel to the depression-era hardships involved in eking out a living on Georgia's hard clay soil. Erskine Caldwell's novels Tobacco Road (1932) and God's Little Acre (1933) thrust the Coweta County native onto a national stage and quickly became the most popular depictions of southern rural poverty and degeneracy produced during the era or since. According to historian James Cobb, Caldwell's books "became a symbol of the evils of the sharecropping system and the ills. . . endured by a worn-out people trying to live on worn-out soil." Later fiction dealing with small-town life during the depression in Georgia includes novels by Terry Kay, Carson McCullers, Ferrol Sams, and Calder Willingham. The Persistence of "An Open-Hearted and Optimistic Spirit" The Baltimore,
Factory managers and small business owners imparted charity when they could, and entrepreneurs like W. C. Bradley of Columbus operated his mills at a loss to avoid laying off workers. The head of the Coca-Cola Company, Robert Woodruff, established a foundation in 1937 that gave generously to charities in Atlanta and around the state. What happened inside families and communities during the Great Depression was no less important than what happened in government offices and the U.S. Congress. According to one commentator, "The survival of an open-hearted and optimistic spirit may be the most remarkable legacy of these impoverished southerners." Despite the relief and recovery efforts provided by New Deal policies, it would take the federal dollars that poured into the state during World War II—for military bases and defense contracts—to ultimately bring the nation's worst economic crisis to an end.

National cultural institutes with a permanent presence in Belgium have been cooperating together since the mid 1990s. In 1997 this cooperation was formalized with the establishment of CICEB (Consortium of the National Cultural Institutes of the European Countries in Belgium) as a non-profit organization under Belgian law. There were 7 members initially and this has now grown to 18 as of today.
In 2006 CICEB became EUNIC Brussels (European Union National Institutions of Culture) as part of a wider cooperation between national institutions of culture across Europe. Within this wider cooperation an association of heads of national cultural institutions was formed (EUNIC) and cooperation between clusters of national cultural institutes with a presence in capitals across Europe began to be formalized within the EUNIC framework.
This network currently consists of 37 EUNIC clusters in cities across Europe while the EUNIC heads membership currently comprises 29 national institutions of culture. In addition, where clusters of European national cultural institutions have an active presence in cities outside of Europe, these are also beginning to form part of the EUNIC network – eg. EUNIC New Delhi & EUNIC New York.

Exactly - my request is submitted to filterProcessUrl (/j_spring_cas_security_check)
Yes, it was set to trueCode:public class CasAuthenticationCommonsHttpInvokerRequestExecutor extends CommonsHttpInvokerRequestExecutor { @Override protected PostMethod createPostMethod(HttpInvokerClientConfiguration config) throws IOException { PostMethod postMethod = super.createPostMethod(config); String ticket = ((CasAuthenticationToken)SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication()).getAssertion().getPrincipal().getProxyTicketFor("https://10.128.17.191:8443/securityTest2/j_spring_cas_security_check"); postMethod.addRequestHeader("ticket", new String(Base64.encode(ticket.getBytes()))); // postMethod.addParameter("ticket", new String(Base64.encode(ticket.getBytes()))); return postMethod; } }
I didn't find that in documentation. When I was setting ticket as parameter
I was getting null when trying to get it out from request in filter. My guess is that why is difference in URL in filter. It was not /j_spring_cas_security_check but it was remote method's I invoke: /remoting/RemoteTestService. Parameter was somehow stripped off while processing? Not really sure, but when I changed it to request header it was present in request. Hope this will be helpful.Code:postMethod.addParameter("ticket", new String(Base64.encode(ticket.getBytes())));

Actor Victor Garber confirmed Monday that he's gay -- though he did it in a didn't-everyone-know-already way.
"I don't really talk about it but everybody knows," Garber told the Greg in Hollywood blog about living with his same-sex partner, Rainer Andreesen, for more than a decade. "He's going to be out here with me for the SAG Awards."
E! News confirmed the info, while People linked to an April 2012 interview in Canadian magazine FYI in which the "Alias" and "Titanic" actor had mentioned his relationship with Andreesen, noting it as one of his proudest achievements.
"My companion Rainer Andreesen and I have been together almost 13 years in Greenwich Village. We both love New York."
Andreesen was reportedly Garber's date to the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, where "Argo," in which the 63-year-old actor appeared, took home best picture and best director.
Garber can be seen in NBC's series "Deception."

Michael's review: The other two ballads on this album are "Marks of the Cross", which almost sounds like a commercial for Compassion International: "Praying, caring, loving, sharing; these are the marks of the cross/Giving, bearing, feeling, daring to lay down your life on the line, forgetting what you leave behind, and willing to suffer the loss/of the marks of the cross." and "Just Reach Out", written in part by John Schlitt. JRO is one of the most thoughtful, devotional-sounding Petra songs in a long time, and it contains some of the most clever lyrics on the album: "Sometimes the night seems to go on for days, when it's hard to see the light through the darkness and the haze..." "...You say you've walked ten thousand steps away, but don't you know that it's only one step back?" Both are very moving songs, and the type that will stick with you all day as you go about your business. As I said before, the title of the album comes from the song, "Sleeping Giant": "Whoa, sleeping the night away/Darkness enclosing the world, so desperate for day/We're under the spell of disunity/when will this giant awake and stand and be free?... Can you hear the alarm echo down the hall? The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call!" The music sounds sort of plodding, a little on the slow side (like a giant waking up), and the guitar hook is like an alarm clock... a terrific arrangement for the lyrical content. Though the whole album has an attractive, well-done sound, some of the most interesting music is in "Underneath The Blood" and "Believer in Deed" Ronny Cates wrote the music for UTB, and his talent really shines! Let's hope we hear more from him in the future. During the verses we can hear a little conversation going on between the guitar & bass, and the chorus contains an irresistible hook with a huge arena feel. One of my favorites on this album. BID is melodically and lyrically the usual for Petra, but the arrangement is quite different. It starts off rather abruptly with slow chording in the keys over a comparatively fast melody, and then suddenly a dissonant piano/guitar thing comes in (a friend told me it sounds like the guitar player is playing a different song!) and creates a little musical tension. Very effective. After the chorus there is an unexpected key change, which just seems to set off the fact that this is a very unusual arrangement!
Overall the sound of this album is very different for Petra, but I think a step in the right direction. Rock fans will definitely not be disappointed, and fans of a more acoustic rock sound will be very happy with this release. A definite success for the band! |

With the so-called fiscal cliff looming, legislators continued on Sunday to express optimism that a deal would be reached -- but members of the two parties remained entrenched on one of the major sticking points, tax revenue.
Asked if she could "accept a deal that does not include tax rate increases for the wealthy," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi responded, "No."
Rep. Tom Price, who is chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, was similarly firm.
"We're still at the place where everything gets hung up: no increases in tax rates. That is still the position of House Republicans, correct?" CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley asked on "State of the Union."
"We would be happy to look at that if it solved the problem. The problem is, it doesn't solve the problem," Price replied.
Still, Sen. Dick Durbin, the Democratic whip, said he hears signs the political debate has advanced from the winter of 2010, when the Simpson-Bowles Commission proposed a deficit reduction plan. President Barack Obama had created the commission, but did not send its recommendations to Congress, which instead created the so-called supercommittee -- which proved unsuccessful -- and the deficit reduction measures in the fiscal cliff to break their impasse.
"What I hear is a perceptible change in rhetoric from the other side, and what it is is an invitation for our side to basically sit down and say, what can we do for this country?" Durbin said on CNN.
"Push the special interest groups to the side for the moment, and what I hear the president saying is, we're not going to solve this by asking the wealthiest to pay their fair share, but it will be part of the solution," he continued. "And what I hear from the Republican side is, well, what is the rest of the solution? That is the beginning of a negotiation."
The fiscal cliff is a combination of the spending cuts passed by Congress -- known as sequestration -- and expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts, all set to take effect at the beginning of the new year, absent congressional action. Economists have said the fiscal cliff would put the U.S. economy into recession.
The two parties have been stuck over federal spending on entitlements and the tax breaks. Democrats generally favor extending the Bush-era tax rates for income under a certain threshold -- such as $250,000 -- and letting the rates rise on income above that level. Republicans generally favor extending the rates on all levels of income while reducing loopholes and capping deductions for top earners.

Today, following the shooting massacre of 20 children in a Connecticut school, President Obama said that "meaningful action" needed to be taken to prevent such tragedies from happening in the future.
But what "meaningful action" can Obama actually take, given Republican control of the House and Congress' deeply felt fear of the politically mighty National Rifle Association? And politics aside, what new laws would actually solve or make a dent in the country's crazed-gunman problem?
Rep. Jerry Nadler said thinks that the president has only one option.
"There's only one meaningful action he can take, which is to take on the N.R.A., label them as the enablers of mass murderers* they are, really push for strong gun-control legislation and call out those congressional leaders who don't support it," Nadler told me this afternoon.
"It is time to call out the N.R.A. as enablers of mass murder and start embarrassing people and saying, 'Who do you stand with? The parents and children of this country or the potential mass murderers?'"
Nadler said there's nothing else Obama can do, realistically.
"There is no other meaningful action," Nadler said. "He has to know that. ... I can't imagine what else he could have meant."
Nadler attributes the N.R.A.'s power to its ability to terrify politicians.
"If you cross the N.R.A. in certain districts, you know that X percent of people are going to come out and vote against you just because of that," said Nadler. "The N.R.A. will come out and run dishonest ads saying you're in favor of taking guns away from hunters."
By Nadler's logic, the only way to counteract the N.R.A. electoral influence is to wield the power of really bad P.R., and he thinks the president is well-equipped to do that, even if he's been unwilling in the past.
CORRECTION: The original version misquoted the congressman. He said Obama should label the N.R.A. as "enablers of mass murderers," not as mass murderers.
Rep. Nadler........has it right. The NRA must be "held accountable", by virtue of enabling .........
It should also be broadcast loud and clear, just how much funding $$$$$ from the NRA coffers went to support GOP candidates. Name the recipients......Hold them accountable. Sarah Palin used a term"death squads".........NRA lobbyists fit the bill better.
20 kindergarten children have no rights anymore.........because TEA party folks and conservatives want to protect their "right to bear arms".
Now is the time...........Take on the NRA.........we demand GUN CONTROLS.
How many more children must die before the NRA and its members care? A lot, I fear.
Nadler = Nazi
All of the most brutal dictators in history banned guns. The Nazis banned jews from owning guns. Stalin banned guns. Mao banned guns. Pol Pot banned guns.
Gee, I wonder why?
Why is it always the Collectivist/Authoritarians (modern Democrat Party) who screams we should ban guns?

Gee, I wonder why?
Why is it always the Collectivist/Authoritarians (modern Democrat Party) who screams we should ban guns?
The main point that I would like to pose, please research the areas where these tragic occurrences happen. They happen in states where there are the most strict gun laws. Look at cities like Chicago and New York their crime rates compared to their gun laws. The romantic effect of the media coverage is more responsible for these instances than the manufacturing and possession of firearms. Also, one can look to the mass-medicating of this younger generation that are taught to take a pill instead of coping with life. I do not live in a liberal state, so if you want your laws that ban gun, go ahead. But don't try to force you failed policies on the rest of us.
People don't want facts because they would 1) have to take the time to research and think for themselves, 2) possibly have to admit what they espouse is wrong, 3) have to take meaningful action, which leads back to number 1.
When I present real data (like conceal and open carry communities in the USA having lower crime rates) their eyes glaze over. I even offer to tell them where they can get these statistics (FBI online).
I also suggest they type in a search for Multiple Victim Public Shootings John R. Lott. The first search result will most likely be a link to the PDF research paper by Yale and U of Chicago professors; it's free.
The results of this intensive look at statistics (where all other homicides, even muti-victim public gang shootings, were weeded out) surprised the researchers.
I don't even get into the most important reason for defending the 2nd Amendment, which is my Bill of Rights. Most people don't know jack about how the USA evolved nor the motivation for Madison's diligence.
When I provide information like the following:
...13-20 children were killed by a family member's pet dog last year, and 11-15 so far this year (number of deaths claimed depends on source)
...On April 19, 1993 the US government was responsible for the deaths of 23 children (all under 18 years of age) in Waco, Texas
If they've let me get this far before turning away, I ask, how would more guns laws for PRIVATE CITIZENS impact these kinds of situations? They will usually raise their voice and say I don't know what I am talking about and/or turn away from me.
Jerry "whiff of facism" Nadler is wrong, again. The NRA no more enables mass murder than Dunkin Donuts enables his fatness. Nadler swore to protect the Constitution, yet he only wants to support those parts that allow him and his ilk to exert power over others.

EXAAAAACTLY, jatuk - look up Kennesaw, GA - a town much like Newtown - they have 'gun laws', and they haven't had a murder in 25 years; however, as head of household, you are 'required' to have a firearm, unless you exempt yourself out and there are a lot of exemptions. But, here's the reality - when a criminal, or an ill mind wants to do something of this caliber, or just plain kill someone who got in the patch of their 'crime' in general, where do you think they would give thought to 'not' breaking into someone's home or, a school where there are armed (like in a couple of districts in Texas since VT in 2007 - with no incidents and the teachers are trained, no one is aware of 'who' is packing), the gun-free zone and gun control laws OR, the place where they have a 99% chance of losing their life as a result of someone who would or could be packing. I'm a CHL carrying, NRA member, who I guess they want to murder because somehow the actions of a soulless madman, are my fault - a responsible gun owner who takes responsibility seriously, although it's my right; and rather than look at the deeper issue, they believe the solution is always to control the guns, as if the guns are the problem. Hypocricy is bliss. Ignorance is too, but that's another story. Compare Kennesaw, GA to Chicago - and there is your answer to just how great gun control works. But I digress, you can't explain that. Advocating beheadings, beatings, and mass murder of peaceful Americans to pay for the sins of a soulless madman who was ill and spent countless hours and says engulfed in gaming in violence. But because the advocates of violence fashion themselves champions of non-violence and because they inhabit the hallowed worlds of Hollywood, academia, and the Democratic Party, it's somehow acceptable! Blood-lusting hate speech must not get a pass just because it comes out of the mouths of the protected, anti-gun class. It's always the responsible gun owners fault, and gun 'control' has proven to be ineffective.
