Race and Class: Blacks Still Taking the Hit
— Malik Miah
IT TOOK TEN months before the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) stood up and challenged President Barack Obama. In a surprise move, 10 CBC leaders refused to participate in a key House financial committee vote in December until some more relief is provided to Black businesses.
Black politicians and civil rights leaders have been understandably careful about criticizing the first Black president. Yet facts on the ground, especially the super high unemployment in the Black communities, forced their hand. While their challenge is mild, it is significant.
The impact of the Great Recession has been greatest on Blacks as well as on other ethnic minorities. Official unemployment is nearly 50% higher for African Americans than for whites. What's most striking is that the Black middle class, including those with Ivy League educations, are having a hard time finding jobs.
The issue of "race" once again is becoming a hot topic in the Black community as qualified professionals and skilled workers with equal or better résumés than whites are being turned down for jobs — going instead to whites with lesser qualifications. It is a reminder of the pre-civil rights era.
At the same time, the gains of the civil rights revolution make it possible for Obama to be president and the Black elite to still hold some major jobs in big business. But there are clear signs of erosion.
One example reported in a front page story in The New York Times entitled, "In Job Hunt, even a college degree can't close racist gap (December 1, 2009)," notes that many Blacks are altering their names to sound more "white" to get interviews.
A study published in the American Economic Review reports that applicants with Black-sounding names received 50% fewer callbacks than those with white-sounding names.
Getting the interview, of course, doesn't mean you will be accepted in a tight private sector job market where most interviewers are generally white. (Government jobs are different where enforcement of anti-discrimination policies is stronger and more minorities are employed.) Even if you can get into the door for an interview, it doesn't mean the most qualified person gets the job. There is little talk about "reverse discrimination" in this environment with double-digit unemployment. For the most part affirmative action in hiring is nonexistent.
One University of Chicago graduate applying for a business money management position in Dallas told the Times of how one hiring manager became excited while talking to him over the phone about how lucky the company was to hear from someone with a top business school education.
But once the company representatives met him and saw that he was Black, "Their eyes kind of hit the ceiling a bit. It was kind of quiet for 45 seconds." The company's interest in him quickly cooled.
A Yale University graduate commented, "It does weigh on you in the search because you're wondering how much is race playing a factor in whether I'm even getting a first call or whether I'm even getting an in-person interview once they hear my voice and they know I'm probably African American?"
De facto Discrimination Lives
As the Dallas example shows, while it is illegal to discriminate, employers know how to avoid hiring Blacks without blatantly or overtly violating the law. Articles are now appearing in major papers and websites about white and Black professionals seeking identical jobs where the more qualified Blacks don't even get return calls from recruiters. The old maxim, "last hired, first fired" is not applicable since these qualified Blacks can't even get in the door.
On top of this, the bailout of Wall Street provided few funds for small businesses. Loans and lines of credit are nearly impossible to find. This is doubly true for Black businesses — this is credit redlining.
Some 14 years ago the government began tracking the number of hungry Americans facing what it euphemistically calls "food insecurity." Today the Department of Agriculture calculates that there are some 49 million Americans — 26% of Black households, 14.6% of white — without enough food. Millions of adults only eat one meal per day and a record number of families rely on food stamps.
The oldest and most respected civil rights group, the NAACP, is now calling on President Obama to take firmer action on the jobs front and the economic recession's disproportionate impact on Black Americans.
Other Black leaders are also criticizing Obama's decision to spend billions more for the war in Afghanistan (up to $40 billion per year) while few dollars are going to help the poorest communities save their homes and get jobs. Obama never mentions the special problems facing Black working people.
Racial Reality of Joblessness
The data make clear that race does matter when it comes to joblessness. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in November 2009 unemployment for whites was 9.3%, but 15.6% for Blacks. Overall the unemployment rate was 10% (much higher when those who have given up and the underemployed are added). Long-term unemployment (those persons jobless for 27 weeks or more) continues to increase. It is twice as high for African Americans.
A second statistic also shows the color divide. Black men working at full-time jobs make $622 per week, which is 74.5% of the $835 median for white men.
The unemployment rate among men with college degrees in 2009 is 4.4% for whites, and 8.4% for Blacks. For those with high school diplomas, unemployment is 10% for white men, and 15.9% for Black men. For those with less than a high school degree, it is 13.9% for white and 24.2% for Black men.
The BLS statistics among women are similar — 4% for white women with a college degree compared to 6.9% for Black women. For those with a high school diploma, 7.4% for white women, compared to 11.4% for Black women; and 13% for white women with less than a high school degree compared to 18.3% for Black women.
The BLS statistics are raw data compiled from across the country. The fact that the racial gap is consistent for all social categories indicates that race and racism is structural in society. Accordingly, special measures (enforced by the federal government) are required to help African Americans overcome structural discrimination. These must include affirmative action programs and push back against employers who will find ways to interview but not hire African Americans.
Many Black elected officials in Washington are beginning to see that uncritical support to Obama is not a smart policy. Anger is growing in the Black community. Unemployed African Americans will not get jobs or be trained by "waiting" for the first president who happens to be Black to help them.
Civil rights leaders have been less forceful in these efforts, however, because of a reality that concerns them — the increase in right-wing and racist smears and threats against Obama.
Rise of Hate Groups
There has been a qualitative increase of hate mail and threats directed at President Obama since he took office. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) based in Alabama has reported on the significant rise of the militia movement that is infused with racist ideology. Its report, "The Second Wave: Return of the Militias," cites the following evidence:
• Fifty new militia training groups, including one composed of current and former police officer and soldiers.
• The convening of so-called "citizen courts" and "grand juries" that have issued indictments against President Obama for treason and fraud.
• "Sovereign citizens" who subscribe to the ideology that whites have a higher citizenship status than others and do not have to pay taxes or obey other laws. They engage in "paper terrorism" such as filing bogus property liens against enemies.
• The introduction of states' rights resolutions in the legislatures of about three dozen states. The governor of Texas has gone so far to talk about "secession."
According to its founder Morris Dees, as of the end of 2008 the SPLC documented 926 hate groups in America — a record number and an increase of more than 50% since 2000.
While many of these rightist efforts and militias have existed in the past, what's new is the reality of the first Black president. Coupled with their hostility to immigrants — legal and undocumented — the smear campaigns of Fox News and the energized extreme right with its racist and other neo-fascist language, create a climate that enables blatant discrimination.
These elements were on vivid display at the well-organized intervention by the conservative base of the Republican Party at the town hall meetings on health care last summer. Many opponents of Obama brought weapons and displays of Nazi and racist images to intimidate officials and those with genuine concerns. On her book tour Sarah Palin's demagogy, with her direct appeals to not-so-subtle white nationalism, "Obama is not like us," could not be clearer.
Glenn Beck of Fox News summarized the views of the racist fringe and mainstream neoconservative movement when he said President Obama "has exposed himself over and over and over again as a guy who has a deep-seated hatred of white people or the white culture." (July 28, 2009)
What Needs to Happen?
The rise of overt racist talk, militia groups and more "confident" bigots attacking Obama requires a response. The response should be more than to simply protest the racism of the right. It must center its demands on the government to act on issues of urgent need for society. This includes taking up traditional civil rights issues like jobs, affirmative action and health care for all. It means opposing Obama's push for a deeper war in Afghanistan and toward implementing the Bush agenda abroad.
Ultimately the only way to reinforce civil rights laws, push again for affirmative action in employment and take on de facto discrimination in hiring requires public protests and action. The concern that the "Black" president cannot be openly criticized, since the racist right is after him, is a mistake.
The small steps taken by the Black Caucus in Congress, the NAACP and others to demand a change are openings to do more. What's needed are marches for jobs, health care, defense of women's rights and other issues that were won by the civil rights and other social movements. Without public protests and counter mobilizations, the airwaves and streets will continue to be dominated by the ultra right and the neoconservative forces.
There are many white working people sucked in by the energized anti-Obama, government-is-bad-at-everything campaign as symbolized by the Palin book signings and town hall protests. They still can be neutralized or even won over to the antiracist and progressive side if a revitalized left movement emerges. White people's social consciousness, along with the struggles of all working people in this country, rose in the 1960s when a minority Black community led the civil rights revolution that transformed the country.
ATC 144, January-February 2010
Please stop confusing "Race" Groups with 'Ethnic' Groups
Please feel free to work to inform Americans that ....
the ETHNIC term of "African-American" (AA) is NOT
a 'Synonym' for the RACIAL term of 'Black American'
(BA) -- the two (2) terms are actually referring to two
(2) entirely DIFFERENT GROUPS of people -- AND that
many of the true AAs find it to be very offensive that
our society works to force them to "carry the statistics"
(particularly the 'negative' ones -- ex. AIDS / HIV Rates,
STD Rates; Crime Rates; Out-Of-Wedlock Birthrates;
Higher-Education Drop-Out Rates, STD Rate; etc.) --
for all of the many, many, many diverse BA groups
and communities that are currently living in the U.S.
Blacks aren't being hired BECAUSE the president is Black
Certain jobs are being reserved for White applicants. I was working a contract position and once it came out that I was making more than my white co-worker, they ended my contract and hired a white girl. We are being penalized for voting for Obama. Most Blacks voted for Obama. If that's not true than why is it that I get more interviews using my middle name than my ethnic first name. And why do I pass phone interviews 100% of the time yet I pass face to face interviews only 25% of the time or less!
I'm a very bubbly person. I have a very friendly personality and I've done excellent in sales positions throughout my career. That doesn't stop my White interviewer from asking me if I am confrontational and do I get along with my co-workers. I find these questions stereotypical and I am certain that those questions aren't asked to Whites.
Amen Brother!
Black professionals are fighting tooth and nail for a seat at the table these days. I never wanted to confront the notion that we are fighting so hard because our president is black.
We are applying for all kinds of jobs that require advanced degrees or certain technical training. Some people have worked fulltime jobs while pursing their education in the evenings. Not a easy feat to accomplish!...
This employment scene is scary and treacherous.
I'm starting to see it
I'm really starting to see the effect of racism. On more than on occasion prospective employers really like my resume, really like me on the phone, but seem to cool off in person. I'm starting to get really frustrated.
Race and Class: Blacks Still Taking the H
Although sad. Its is true.
I worked for a supermarket company as a AP clerk then a Dept Specialist 1987-2007. I resigned in 2007 to take care of my daughter and find a job closer to home. The long work hours and extensive traveling two and a half hours on public transportaion interfeared with her care. My oldest daughter was caring for her while I was at work but at this time she was entering college.
I experienced a great deal of racism while working at this place because I was the only black in the department. I was told by the HR manager that if I experience any problems to contact her. Two weeks later she was gone. I endured the racism from white managers and black one that were hired just to get rid of me. I tried leaving but the black manager gave a bad reference to a position that I applied for and I didn't get it. I needed the job so I stayed.
In 2011 after not securing any full time work I wrote this company and asked them if they needed any help. They did someone was going out on leave and I filled in for her. It was a temp job but I was happy to be working. I prayed for another job to open (perm) It did a long time co worker was retiring.
I applied for the position and was confident that I would get it because I had performed a simliar job for 15 years.
I didn't get the job the black hr manager claimed that I was an outsider and was unqualified. The job went to the friend of the hiring manager.
The person who got the job wasn't nearly qualified and if she had a diploma I would have been surprised. She was a part time clerk at store level. The hiring manager has hooked up all of her friends from the stores to work at jobs that are way over their heads. These same store clerk are totally unaware of the many facets of their position. I found that the women on maternity leave failed to perform all the many facets of the position because she had no experience and core abilities. She worked previously with another manager who had to get rid of her because of her failure to grasp the work. This was known throughout the office. It was also known that she didn't have a diploma. Yet they found a reason not to give me the job. The black HR was hired to deflect talk and lawsuit of racial bias & discrimination.
Racism at work
I am in mangement, A boss who is black and gives directives to white people.Some whites did not like it so I was let go... twice. Now what am I supposed to do.
More and More these days
It's getting worse and worse with passing time; it's as if, these days, brown skin (of any ethnicity) and a college degree or two or three, especially from "good" universities, ensure that you will NEVER WORK AGAIN and will wind up on welfare right alongside those who did not bother to finish high school. That's who we wind up sitting next to in the Food Stamp office - those who dropped out of high school and had babies out of wedlock and who are thus getting AFDC or TANF (whatever they're calling it now) while we who "bothered" going to college and trying to rise ABOVE that lifestyle are winding up schlepped right into it anyway - and all we have in common is skin pigmentation. I'm not knocking them - I'm just saying that I didn't go to Yale and get a Math teaching license to be collecting Food Stamps ANYWAY because no one wants a Yalie Math teacher who even "looks" Black.
Then after all the school you
Then after all the school you can't get a job and your credit gets ruined because you cannot payback your student loan. Then you cannot qualify for a business loan to try and start your own business because your credit is ruined due to a student loan being in default.
I am stuck- we all are stuck.
It makes me very angry.
Racism in IT
I work in IT and I don't think there is a field where there is more racism. I got out of college in 1986 and since then it has been a constant uphill struggle. You would think that after working in IT for more than 20 years I would be riding a Rolls-Royce by now, but nothing could be further from the truth. In the late 1990's IT managers began recruiting workers from India because there was a shortage and the Y2K problem , but the flow of workers from that country never stopped. As a matter of fact 25-30% of IT jobs are outsourced to that country. The Indians knew that they had to hit the weakest point in the link and that was Black IT workers. Therefore they became more racist than the whites. Currently the Indians have taken over about 80% of IT jobs. This works fine for whites because they never wanted to see black in those positions. In my opinion, RACISM plays a HUGE part in the outsourcing of IT jobs more that any other industry. It is one thing to be a racist, but it is another thing when you try to hold people back regardless of their credentials.
Response to Above Comment
To the commenter above, I'd say the reason so many folks of color don't finish high school isn't because they "did not bother," but because they faced the same kinds of racist, systemic obstacles that you have. Poverty, a racist criminal "justice" system, systematic discrimination, etc. prevent people from even getting started on the "right path" just as similar obstacles prevent those who've taken that path and got degrees and so on from getting or maintaining jobs afterward.
Too many people of color are taking the hit for the first non all white president. It's a shame how business and contractors have shed a huge number of minorities with little press from media outlets. Govt/private agencies which suppose to protect these groups should be dissolved for sitting on the sidelines and watching. Yes eeoc, ig, ombuds, congress, arbitrators and etc.....
I'm a vet and have been gainfully employed for over 25 years and still experience racism and poor managers in 2014.

Lindsay Lohan should've spent the last few nights trying to get her ass back to the U.S. -- here's what she was doing instead ...
TMZ obtained several photos showing LiLo fully immersing herself in the French party scene within the last few nights.
Hope she had a good time, 'cause she's gonna be paying for it -- courtesy of one tough Beverly Hills judge.
Incredible photo! Two lines of cocaine right in front of her with a straw and cigarette in her hand. Looks to me like she's got only a sweater on--no panties. Drug test her as soon as her arrogance ass hits the USA! You cannot argue with this photo or the evidence it provides.
is there something wrong with me because none of these photo's are are sexy, or glamorous, or fun. Looks like a opium parlor purgatory. Maybe I need to be high on something to really really appreciate what it must of been like. I wouldn't want to hang with any of those people.
You have got to be joking, coke lines right next to her. I hope she gets locked up for a year. What a piece of trash.
Still has the scab on her knee from the picture 2 days ago. Let's see if she tries to say these are old.
CMANSB ,thats what some people choose to do rather than prop 36,this is a dui,the 180 days is for the pv ,not the dui ,wouldnt she also have to do time for the original charge-dui.
As someone posted earlier, don't overlook the dolla bill rolled up in her hand... ugh, what a mess!
I have been standing up for LL for a long time now. But, WOW, who ARE those people in that picture with her??? Hardcore looking people. Where in the hell did she find these people.
All the celebs in France right now and she has a photo taken of her with those 2!!!! Sad, really, really sad. Damn girl, WTF.
I think this is the final straw for me, (so to speak). Cant wait for all the drama to come out about this photo.
Yes, i do wonder what Dina is thinking now??? No problem??? I "lost" my passport???? Yeah, and my dog ate my homework.
Just crazy. But, i guess if you know u r going down, u may as well have a blast doing so.
I will believe it when I see it. Lindsay is living the celeb free pass right now. Its irritating to think that if it had been someone else, they would have been locked up by now. Just arrest her already!! She will never get it till someone tells her that she cannot get her way and slap her status at people. She is truly killing herself. She looks old and worn out. Its sad to see considering her age. It just shows that she could care less about herself. Partying is not all that life is and it gets old after a while. She will see that she wasted a lot of years on this nonesense while her career/livehood goes down the drain. We were just fortunate enough to witness it all.

Can I ask you guys some questions. I know these questions seem like a virgin asking about sex but I don't do drugs so I have never been is a place lindsay is at. Could you fill in the gaps for me. If there was a video of the whole night?:
Question 1:What drugs "Specifically" do you think lindsay did on a adverage night e.g.-like what ?perscription drugs in the morning,drinks before the party, then walks to the back room and snorts 5 lines of cocaine?
Question 2.: Did lindsay have sex between those photos. Who do you think Lindsay had sex with. No sex just got stoned and passed out? or One of the drug-buddie looking chicks? or the guy with the Chest hair showing and his 70's looking side-kick. Did lindsay join an orgy.
Could someone give me answers to help me picture what is going on.
Does anyone have any information about Party Time online???? Its a party suply rental store its in Chatsworth California. Thanks in advance
So where do you think she will end up? Forest Lawn or The Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery?
Maybe Disneyland or Disney World can prop her up dressed as a donkey in the Pinocchio's Daring Journey Attraction in the Pleasure Island Area because she obviously has made an ass out of herself and deserves to be turned into a donkey for all to see.
Or maybe she should be Pinocchio because she really told a tall tale with that whole passport stuff.
Btw LiLo, maybe prison sounds like fun to you because you heard you will get a jacket and learn about kites, but hone up on your urban dictionary before picking up your room keys at the front desk.
Well you know VH1 is just waiting for this screw up to end up on some kind of show for them. Maybe she is a long lost relative of the Jackson family? That would totally make sense.
Coke on the table and a snorter in her hand... this is actually a photo of Lindsay flipping off the judge, the district attorney, the probation officer, her mother, her sister, her ****head dad and all of her fans (if she has any left).
"28. Does anyone have any information about Party Time online???? Its a party suply rental store its in Chatsworth California. Thanks in advance"
Yeah, I heard they're a bunch of douche-bags who like to spam message boards. Why do yo ask?

Product details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
Leaving the poverty and grim reality of Amores Perros (the other hit Mexican movie of recent times, also starring Bernal) far behind, Y Tu Mama Tambien is set among the upper classes where two teenage friends, Julio and Tenoch, are left in a state of limbo when their girlfriends take a trip to Europe. But rather than resting on their laurels, they choose to chase a much bigger prize: Tenoch's cousin's wife, Luisa. When she takes up their offer to go on a trip to a mystical beach, the boys can't believe their luck; little do they know that Luisa is using them as a means to run away and forget. Here begins the boys' trip towards adulthood as they learn to control their hormones, jealousies and selfishness. Y Tu Mama Tambien's explicit scenes are more than mere titillation, just as the plot is more than a simple sex comedy. --Nikki Disney

Review: Floor Time by Liz Crowe
ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review
To say that I was completely & totally thrilled to get my hands on a copy of this book would be an understatement. Over the past few weeks, I have devoured everything that Liz has written and loved every bit of it. Floor Time is no exception to that and in fact, is my favorite book to date! Liz does a phenomenal job of combining exceptionally written characters with such authentic & real story lines, that you can't help but get sucked in!
Floor Time introduces us to Jack Gordon (oh, how I love this character) & Sarah Thornton, both of whom are realtors working for the same company. When their paths cross, the spark between them is electric and tangible, and what follows is a story of the road two people travel down while trying to create a relationship where the attraction is the easiest part. It's not always sunshine & roses and their journey is tough, but what relationship isn't. You have to work to maintain the love that the instant connection brings – Liz does an amazing job of capturing the realness of that which is one of the reasons I enjoyed the story so much!
Jack's character is just scrumptious! He is the quintessential dominant alpha male not looking for love, or so he thinks. His past haunts him and his relationships with women. The one time that he gave his heart over to love, he had it crushed. He swore that he would never allow himself to be that vulnerable again. If he doesn't feel anything, then he can't be hurt. This makes for a very lonely life for him and he wants to change, he just hasn't met the right person. He needs to dominate and finding that person proves harder than he imagined.
Sarah is fierce! I love her independence & wit. However, she is not without issues. She doesn't trust nor does she allow herself to be close to anyone. Her independence & need to succeed are so strong that it is almost a detriment. Only when she starts seeing Jack and submitting to him, does she see that it gives her the ultimate power, it's the ultimate eye-opening experience. It is not without struggle though, and I still don't think she truly believes that it is right. Her independence is so ingrained that she can't see past it.
I won't say their story is magical, because for me that places a Disney-esque factor to it and that is just NOT this story. What is it then – it's raw, emotional, strong, confusing (to them at least), heart-wrenching and completely FANTASTIC! Their love & sex burn the pages and make me want that fabulous ending, since their road has been so tough I have to know the rest of their journey and what the future holds for them.

Dickson County survived a five-set showdown at Rossview to earn the crown and the right to host a Region 5 tournament game next week. DCHS advanced to the district title game by beating West Creek and Rossview topped Clarksville in Saturday morning's semifinals to set up the match between the district's top two seeds. Undefeated in the district, Rossview took the opening set 25-19 before the Lady Cougars battled back to win the next two 25-13 and 25-23. Rossview evened the match with a 25-16 fourth set before the Lady Cougars clinched the title 15-11 in the fifth set. Taylor Martin, Ashton Perez and Ansley Stringfield were named to the All-Tournament Team. The Lady Cougars will host a Region 5-AAA Tournament first-round game Oct. 16.

Hasse Fröberg
Hasse Fröberg | |
Born | 4 January 1964 |
Genres | Progressive Rock, Heavy Rock |
Occupations | Guitarist, Musician, Songwriter |
Instruments | Vocals, Guitar, Drums |
Associated acts | Barrelhouse, Spellbound, Highway Stars, Solid Blue, The Flower Kings, Hasse Fröberg and the Musical Companion |
Website | http://www.hassefroberg.com |
Hasse Fröberg (born on January 4, 1964) is a Swedish guitarist, composer and vocalist with a warm voice, high pitch, and a fairly clear Swedish accent when singing in English. Hasse Fröberg fronted a handful of hard rock bands before joining prog rockers The Flower Kings as a full-time member.[1]
Hasse entered the world of music early on with guitar and drum lessons as a child. He tells the story of his first official band as follows: "I formed my first group at the age of 10. It was a trio in true ELP style, at least when it comes to the line-up. HPP3: Patric Pettersson - drums, Patric Cohen - keyboards, Hasse Fröberg - vocals and guitar. With songs like "Do you know the monster" we really made an impact on schoolmates and neighbours. (By the way, what do you think of the hook "Do you know the monster from the black sea, he doesn't want to eat you. He just wants to drink tea"?)".[2] He began playing in local pop and rock bands at the age of 15.
In 1983 Hasse started the heavy rock band Spellbound. Later on he wrote much of the material together with Guitar player Jocke Marsh.[3] They recorded 2 albums Breaking The Spell in December 1984 and "Rocking Reckless" in December 1985. The band also recorded material that wasn't released until later as the album "Hidden Treasures" for the Japanese market.[4]
Spellbound disbanded in 1988, and Hasse toured with 70's comic rockers "Highway Stars" before starting his own group Solid Blue, that toured heavily in Sweden between 1993 and 1995. Foxtrot Records released their CD with the somewhat cryptic title Volume 3 in October 1994 on which Hasse did most of the writing and sang lead. Hasse is also involved as lead singer and composer in Barrelhouse, a group that follows the hard road of the Zeppelin tradition.[1][5]
Hasse's involvement in The Flower Kings started in 1994 when he was invited by Roine Stolt to sing a couple of tracks on the album The Flower King that was actually released as a Roine Stolt solo project. After that he guested on the first Flower Kings 'proper' album Back in the World of Adventures in 1995. In the same year during the recording of the double CD Stardust We Are Hasse was invited to be a permanent member of the band.[5] His higher range and softer emotional palette complimented Stolt's, while both voices blended marvelously in harmonies. He joined the band on stage for the first time in May 1997, providing back vocals, occasional lead vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and some percussion. He gradually took a more prominent role in the band and the 1999 album Flower Power included one of his songs, "Magic Pie." [1]
In October 2008, with The Flower Kings taking a break, Hasse decided it was time to form a new band. In his words,"Old fashioned as I am, I don't want it to be like a project, I want a band with a certain sound. The key to that I believe, is to find enthusiastic musicians who love to play my music and are willing to rehearse and to create a unit that really works well together." Thus, Hasse Fröberg and the Musical Companion came to be. Members include Kjell Haraldsson - keyboards, Ola Strandberg - drums, Anton Lindsjö - leadguitar, Thomsson - bass, Hasse Fröberg - vocals, rhythm guitar.[2] Their first album, Future Past, is due out in spring 2010.[6]

118 firms in Bahrain violate summer work ban
Manama, July 16, 2013
A total of 118 companies have been found violating Bahrain's summer ban during its first two weeks, a report said.
They will be forced to pay fines ranging between BD500 ($1,320) and BD1,000 for each worker found working on construction sites between midday and 4pm, according to the report in the Gulf Daily News (GDN), our sister publication.
Labour Ministry inspectors have been out in force since the two-month ban started on July 1, which aims to protect workers from potentially fatal conditions such as heat stroke especially during the hottest months of the year.
They found a total of 137 workers employed by 118 companies working under the scorching heat despite the ban, said ministry Under-Secretary Sabah Al Dossary.
"Our team of inspectors conducted patrols across construction sites in Bahrain and found that a total of 118 companies violated the summer ban," he told the GDN yesterday.
"We have referred the list of violating companies to the Justice, Islamic Affairs and Endowments Ministry to take appropriate action. According to the law, these companies have to pay fines ranging between BD500 to BD1,000 for each worker caught working by our labour inspectors."
Al Dossary said the team of inspectors visited different construction sites to ensure workers follow safety precautions and adhere to the rule, which will continue until August 31.
"In total, there were 5,171 inspections conducted since July 1 in different areas," he said.
"The positive side is that the success rate so far of the implementation of the midday ban has reached 97.72 per cent.
"This is a good sign and shows that companies are serious about the safety and well-being of their staff, which in the long run enhances their productivity and increase profits for these firms."
The ministry has already launched a national awareness campaign, targeting workers and employers, about the dangers of working under the sun.
The GDN reported on June 28 that ministry occupational safety section head Hussain Al Shami said the law had been amended to cover a larger segment of the workforce, not only construction workers but also other sectors such as labourers who fix air conditioning units or the people who put up street advertisements.
In addition it also covers those working in farms, contracting and roadworks. This is the seventh year the summer work ban has been enforced. – TradeArabia News Service

Oh the colors- I love them so much here! I like how the effulgent thunder is booming ahead in the sky but the azure/turquoise water below looks beautiful nonetheless. The dark purple clouds look strangely lovely. Nice title. 5/5 hearts and favorites.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Updated: 5:56 p.m. Monday, July 19, 2010 | Posted: 11:34 a.m. Tuesday, May 18, 2010
Utah Republicans have denied Robert Bennett, a very conservative three-term senator, a place on the ballot because he's not conservative enough. In Maine, party activists have pushed through a platform calling for, among other things, abolishing both the Federal Reserve and the Department of Education. And it's becoming ever more apparent that real power within the GOP rests with the ranting talk-show hosts.
News organizations have taken notice: Suddenly, the takeover of the Republican Party by right-wing extremists has become a story (although many reporters seem determined to pretend that something equivalent is happening to the Democrats). (It isn't.) But why is this happening? And in particular, why is it happening now?
The right's answer, of course, is that it's about outrage over President Barack Obama's "socialist" policies — like his health care plan, which is, um, more or less identical to the plan Mitt Romney enacted in Massachusetts. Many on the left argue, instead, that it's about race, the shock of having a black man in the White House — and there's surely something to that.
But I'd like to offer two alternative hypotheses: First, Republican extremism was there all along — what's changed is the willingness of the news media to acknowledge it. Second, to the extent that the power of the party's extremists really is on the rise, it's the economy, stupid.
On the first point: when I read reports by journalists who are shocked, shocked at the craziness of Maine's Republicans, I wonder where they've been these past eight or so electoral cycles. For the truth is that the hard right has dominated the GOP for many years. Indeed, the new Maine platform is if anything a bit milder than the Texas Republican platform of 2000, which called not just for eliminating the Federal Reserve but also for returning to the gold standard, for killing not just the Department of Education but also the Environmental Protection Agency, and more.
Somehow, though, the radicalism of Texas Republicans wasn't a story in 2000, an election year in which George W. Bush of Texas, soon to become president, was widely portrayed as a moderate.
Or consider those talk-show hosts. Rush Limbaugh hasn't changed: His recent suggestion that environmentalist terrorists might have caused the ecological disaster in the gulf is no worse than his repeated insinuations that Hillary Clinton might have been a party to murder. What's changed is his respectability: News organizations are no longer as eager to play down Limbaugh's extremism as they were in 2002, when The Washington Post's media critic insisted that the radio host's critics were the ones who had "lost a couple of screws," that he was a sensible "mainstream conservative" who talks "mainly about policy."
So why has the reporting shifted? Maybe it was just deference to power: As long as America was widely perceived as being on the way to a permanent Republican majority, few were willing to call right-wing extremism by its proper name. Maybe it took a Democrat in the White House to give some observers the courage to say the obvious.
To be fair, however, it's not all a matter of perception. Right-wing extremism may be the same as it ever was, but it clearly has more adherents now than it did a couple of years ago. Why? It may have a lot to do with a troubled economy.
True, that's not how it was supposed to work. When the economy plunged into crisis, many observers — myself included — expected a political shift to the left. After all, the crisis made nonsense of the right's markets-know-best, regulation-is-always-bad dogma. In retrospect, however, this was naive: Voters tend to react with their guts, not in response to analytical arguments — and in bad times, the gut reaction of many voters is to move right.
That's the message of a recent paper by the economists Markus Bruckner and Hans Peter Gruner, who find a striking correlation between economic performance and political extremism in advanced nations: In both America and Europe, periods of low economic growth tend to be associated with a rising vote for right-wing and nationalist political parties. The rise of the Tea Party, in other words, was exactly what we should have expected in the wake of the economic crisis.
So where does our political system go from here? Over the near term, a lot will depend on economic recovery. If the economy continues to add jobs, we can expect some of the air to go out of the Tea Party movement.
But don't expect extremists to lose their grip on the GOP anytime soon. What we're seeing in places like Utah and Maine isn't really a change in the party's character: It has been dominated by extremists for a long time. The only thing that's different now is that the rest of the country has finally noticed.

The Sands Ocean Club is an amazing place to stay! The property is very well maintained and the service you receive is outstanding! The communication we received for our rental was amazing and we felt so at ease with our decision to rent this property! Our rooms were very up to date, clean and truly a home away from home! Our rooms were very well equipped with everything we needed, and our experience far exceeded the overall property/room description. Our children had an outstanding time during their stay, and we were so close to many of the attractions that Myrtle Beach has to offer. Ocean Annie's is located on the property, which is great for the adults who like to "have a day/night out to themselves" without leaving their kids. The Sands ammenities which include an outdoor/indoor pool & lazy river are right beside Ocean Annies so you are able to keep a watchful eye on the kids while you also enjoy your "adult time". The River City Cafe is also located beside the pool and they are a fantastic restaurant! I would HIGHLY recommend renting this property and plan to do so for many years to come. By far, this was the easiest transaction, best communication, outstanding experience our family has ever encountered for our annual family vacation, and we look forward to next year!Did you find this review helpful?

We loved the 9th floor oceanfront condo! When we arrived it was so easy to just go to our place, did not have to check in at front desk! The condo was very nice and very clean! I was very surprised because the pics on website did not do justice. We will only stay here in our trips ahead! We have stayed before through the property but I greatly recommend going thru www.myrtlbeachcondosforless.com Everyone in the resort was so nice and of course there is "Ocean Annie's" who could ask for anything more?Did you find this review helpful?

We had a great time staying in your family condo! In my opinion, it was the best spot on the beach :). The room was spotless when we arrived-even the balcony was clean! I have actually stayed in room 229-two doors down, and 227 was much nicer. I am interested in booking again for next year. What would I need to do to arrange this? Thank you for everything! (Also, let Stephanie know that I thank her as well. My children and I have been through so much this year and this was exactly what we all needed. Thank you.)

We rented this condo 7/7 - 7/13 and it was wonderful. Very clean and neat. Had everything that we needed for our week there. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook with. Sitting on the balcony was like almost sitting directly on the beach. Loved the pools and the live band. It was wonderful!!! The owner, Stephanie, was great to work with and very nice. We would love to stay here again.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, people with disabilities, families with young children, girls getaway, age 55+, romantic getaway.

We stayed the week of July 4th which is probably the busiest week of the year. The accomidations were nice for children and adults. Plenty to do right at your fingertips with very little walking. Beach front access which was awesome and the view was beautiful.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

This unit is nicer than the pictures show. All the amenities of home are there and the pull out bed in the living room was more comfortable than I expected. You are practically on the beach and you have adequate window/deck space for beach viewing. The only minus I can say is that the resort itself shows its age, and the elevators had issues at times; but this individual unit made up for this. Sands Ocean Club is a hub of activity in the area with Ocean Annie's, and its proximity to apache pier made morning beach walks enjoyable. The owners are extremely workable and accommodated us for an early arrival by letting us rent one of the unrented condos for one night prior and then let us stay until this unit was ready. You don't normally get that kind of customer care from bigger rental companies. I would definitely stay in this unit again in the future. Book without anxiety with this one!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

This condo is everything we could have expected and more. So much that it has brought us back 3 times in less than a year! Wonderful prices, wonderful view, and wonderful owners. It has all of the amenities that you need with a beautiful view of the beach. You step out of the condo and put your toes in the sand! I highly recommend this condo facility!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We arrived at the Hotel, very nice people, advised us where to park to check in, went into room, very clean and bright felt like vacation time, we booked the executive suites so kids had there own room and bathroom, might I say beds were very comfy, and we had our privacy, we went out into terrace beautiful view of ocean and the sound of the waves soothing, it gets better, Annies right below us plays live music so it really makes you feel like party time at the beach, parking also very simple in the parking garage, felt very safe, I also used the indoor gym its is basic but does the job very well, one thing I have to say even though we purchased from the actual owner of this condo, when we needed something we actually went to the front desk downstairs and they were very helpful, that's really was a plus in my eyes, they care. A+ look forward to next year staying again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

This place was perfect for our family on a budget with direct acces to the beach, The indoor pool was a plus for the couple of rain showers we had and night time swims. Ocean Annies was fun as well as the lounge inside, the staff was very nice. The lazy river is small, but the kids still enjoyed it. The covered parking garage as well as the keyless entry to the condo were nice, it was great to not have to worry about who had a key or not. We would defiantly stay here again, the owners were very helpful and responded to our emails promptly.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

We are still working to obtain content for your car,
however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
The video above shows how to replace blown fuses in the interior fuse box of your 2005 Pontiac Sunfire in addition to the fuse panel diagram location. Electrical components such as your map light, radio, heated seats, high beams, power windows all have fuses and if they suddenly stop working, chances are you have a fuse that has blown out. If your Sunfire is experiencing electrical problems, you should always check the fuses first, because they are relatively easy to check and cheap to change. Some Pontiacs have multiple interior fuse boxes including in the trunk - the video above will show you where the interior fuse box of your 2005 Sunfire is located. If your Sunfire has many options like a sunroof, navigation, heated seats, etc, the more fuses it has. Some components may have multiple fuses, so make sure you check all of the fuses that are linked to the component in question.
If you need to replace a blown fuse in your Sunfire, make sure you replace it with one that has the same amperage as the blown fuse. If checking and replacing the fuse for the component in question doesn't work, we recommend seeking assistance from a trusted professional mechanic. They should be able to figure out if the component needs to be replaced or if there is a short or some other problem with your Sunfire.
Harsh downshifts? Slipping gears? You might be low on transmission fluid

After I had known that I have to leave Paihia for a job I allowed myself to go on a dolphin Cruise there with the option to swim with them.

We were just four guests on board with two skippers, very nice. Luckily the weather was during morning sunny ...

Cell Phone Idiocy...

Re: Cell Phone Idiocy...
I have an LG flip phone from Verizon that works great. I actually prefer Verizon because I can get reception just about anywhere in the US, except for WV. Since I travel to Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Western NY on occassion, but don't spend a lot of time in WV, it's good for me.
I would avoid Samsung phones personally. My last phone was a Samsung flip phone that had a problem with the microphone. Dust would collect in the hole and would affect the performance to the point where you could hear people talking (or trying) to you, but they couldn't hear you. I would have to take in every few months to get it cleaned. Then it became every other week. The Verizon tech said that the problem was common with Samsung phones for some reason. I also liked the deal that they gave me on the new phone. I had to pay a little for the phone, but they threw in a free hands-free set, car charger, and leather case.

costly affair got only 50 per cent occupancy.
Multiplex scene
Though a no-brainer, the combination of Khan and Padukone attracted the classes to the multiplexes. �The SRK-Deepika -Rohit Shetty trio was appreciated by the multiplex crowd as well, and did a phenomenal performance at the BO,� says Vajir Singh, Editor of Box Office India.
At Cinemax India, Chennai Express received 80 � 90 per cent average occupancy in its opening weekend, with the paid preview being almost full. �We also had some other films playing like B.A. Pass and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, but due to Chennai Express they only received 25-30 per cent occupancy at pan-India Cinemax outlets,� says Girish Wankhede, Head Marketing for Cinemax and PVR (West).
Indian and international markets
Being set in the backdrop of Chennai, the SRK starrer has been affected a bit in the Northern regions of India. �People expected it to be huge in North, but since it has a influence of South, it saw slight disappointment from the North regions,� explains Singh. But, the South oriented content and no new releases in South called for a great response from the Southern regions. �Usually in South, Bollywood films get only one screen out of the six, the rest are reserved for the local language movies. Since no new South films released last week, Chennai Express could make most of it,� he further added.
Meanwhile, at the domestic box-office, the movie is said to be breaking records. As per Singh, this venture has broken records of highest collection through paid previews. Chennai Express is also being called as the fastest ever film to cross Rs.100 crore mark in just 3.5 days by making record breaking collections on its first, second and third day each.
In terms of foreign collections the film, which was released at 700 screens made a total of Rs. 36 crore gross (between Thursday-Saturday) breaking records of the preview, opening and second day collections set by other Bollywood releases.
Other source of income
Apart from the box office, as per the industry sources, the movie garnered Rs.48 crore through the sale of its satellite rights, which were sold to &Pictures.

Catholic bishops are welcome during the consideration and voting on the RH bill, but they are cautioned not to demean Congresspersons by treating them like docile sheep to be watched and shepherded.
The presence of bishops in the plenary during the past session days did not save the "killer" amendments proposed by RH critics from being voted down repeatedly.
What Bishops cannot achieve by reason and persuasion, they must not pursue through fear and intimidation.
If the veiled purpose of the Bishops' presence in the gallery is to sow fear or employ intimidation against legislators, they will not succeed because fear is destitute of reason and must be resisted with conviction, and not be allowed to deter or delay legislation.
Fear has always been used by the clergy as an instrument of repression and reprisal like fear of eternal damnation, fear of excommunication, fear of offending religious ministers, fear of contraceptives as abortifacients and carcinogenic, and fear of a demographic winter, all of which are wanting of reasonable and empirical anchorage.
The Catholic vote is for the enactment of the RH bill.
This is consistently validated and documented in all nationwide surveys for many years now.
Surveys show that 71% of Catholics favor the enactment of the RH bill (Third Quarter 2008 Social Weather Survey, 16 October 2008). The same survey reveals that the percentage of those in favor of the bill is even higher among weekly church-going Catholics at 73%, which means that the pulpit as a platform for anti-RH homilies is a failure.
Moreover, the SWS also revealed that among registered voters surveyed, "most will vote for pro-RH bill candidates" with 38% of Filipino voters choosing to vote for candidates who support the RH bill while only 6% said they will not vote for candidates supportive of the measure. Among those surveyed, 20% said that a candidate's stand on the issue will not affect their vote while 35% claimed they were not aware enough about the contents of the bill (SWS, 11 March 2010).
In predominantly Catholic communities like Cebu, Manila and Paranaque, respondents in various surveys are overwhelmingly pro-RH. A huge number of Cebuanos at 76% support the passage of the RH bill (SWS, April 2009); in Parañaque, 84% of the respondents are in favor of the bill (SWS, March 2009); and in Manila, a whopping 86% of those surveyed support the enactment of the bill into law (February, 2009).
In the staunchly Catholic Province of Bohol, majority of the respondents at 53% are in favor of the RH bill compared to only 17% who are against it, according to a survey conducted by Holy Name University, a leading Catholic university in Bohol.
Pulse Asia reports that 93% of Filipinos consider it important to have the ability to plan their families and 82% believe government should inform couples about all methods of family planning.
The faculty members of leading Catholic Universities like Ateneo and De La Salle Universities support the passage of the RH bill.
RH advocates should not fear a negative Catholic vote because the alleged backlash has no empirical basis.
Fear has always been used by the clergy as an instrument of repression and reprisal like fear of eternal damnation, fear of excommunication, fear of offending religious minsters, fear of contraceptives as abortifacients and carcinogenic, and fear of a demographic winter.
Fear is bankrupt of reason and should not be allowed to deter legislation and policy making.
Priests at the local parishes do not articulate with the same ferocity anti-RH tirades of some bishops because they are more aware of the ill-effects of the population problem on their parishioners.
The parish priest and the political leader are natural and logical partners in addressing the population problem because they witness on the ground grinding poverty, maternal and infant mortality and the inadequacy of pre-natal and post-natal care and facilities, all of which are addressed by the RH bill.
It must be underscored again that there were more RH advocates and supporters who responded to the roll call even during the session days when there was no quorum.
