Perspectives on the Early Retirement Decisions of Farming Couples
AbstractIn the past decade, the European agricultural sector has undergone rapid structural change. Part of that change is manifested in extended early retirement plans. As pensions play a crucial role in determining the characteristics the change, it is important to establish the factors determining the exit from farming among elderly farmers. This study analyses the choice of pension scheme of farmers. The focus is on the effects of farm and off-farm incomes and various offered economic incentives on farmers' retirement decisions. The results provide valuable information concerning evaluation of existing programmes and the design of future retirement systems and policies.

"The artist formerly known as CJ2K hasn't come close to that 2,006-yard total he put up in 2009, but he's still gotten over 1,000 yards in every year of his career. Shonn Greene is in town to potentially steal a few goal-line carries, but the revamped Titans offensive line bodes well for Johnson."

"CJ2k should get the ball a lot but this is a brutal road matchup to get things started."
|Tozzi Brothers
Legion Report
"CJ?K � With an improved O-Line, CJ has been running well this pre-season. His Jet-Packs are still unmatched."
|Derek Lofland
Fantasy Football Maniax
"The Steelers were 4th against fantasy running back defenses, but they have the oldest starting defense in the NFL, so that could fall off this year. The Titans are also improved on the offensive line, I think Johnson is at least a low RB2 this week."
Beast Dome
"CJ2K knows that Fantasy Football owners are quickly starting to doubt him. He is an inconsistent RB who will run for 40 Yards for 3 Quarters, then get a 70 Yard run in the 4th Quarter to give him a big week. Jake Locker has to show growth this preseason, and then CJ's value will rise. Shonn Greene is a big buzz kill for TDs. But you know CJ2K will make up for those plays in other ways."
|Chet Gresham
The Fake Football
"Johnson had a good game against the Steelers last season with 23 touches for 114 yards, but he didn't score and Pittsburgh remains a tough place to play and will often get the best of opposing running backs. They only allowed two players to top 100 yards rushing all last year and gave up just 3.8 yards per carry."

The Stars Go Over The Lonely Ocean
by Robinson Jeffers
Unhappy about some far off things
That are not my affair, wandering
Along the coast and up the lean ridges,
I saw in the evening
The stars go over the lonely ocean,
And a black-maned wild boar
Plowing with his snout on Mal Paso Mountain.
The old monster snuffled, "Here are sweet roots,
Fat grubs, slick beetles and sprouted acorns.
The best nation in Europe has fallen,
And that is Finland,
But the stars go over the lonely ocean,"
The old black-bristled boar,
Tearing the sod on Mal Paso Mountain.
"The world's in a bad way, my man,
And bound to be worse before it mends;
Better lie up in the mountain here
Four or five centuries,
While the stars go over the lonely ocean,"
Said the old father of wild pigs,
Plowing the fallow on Mal Paso Mountain.
"Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy
And the dogs that talk revolution,
Drunk with talk, liars and believers.
I believe in my tusks.
Long live freedom and damn the ideologies,"
Said the gamey black-maned boar
Tusking the turf on Mal Paso Mountain.

Clay Bennett, Chattanooga Times Free Press
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The Islamic State militant group that has taken over large parts of Syria and Iraq and declared a self-styled caliphate poses one of the most significant threats to stability in the Middle East in years. But what danger does it immediately pose?
Here are some questions and answers about the Islamic State group:
The Islamic State group holds roughly a third of Iraq and Syria, including several strategically important cities like Fallujah and Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria. It rules over a population of several million people with its strict interpretation of Islamic law. It also controls many of the roads linking the communities it has conquered — although much of the territory in between is sparsely populated desert.
It claims thousands of heavily armed fighters, and has set up its own civil administrations and judiciaries.
"It acts as a state in areas that don't have a state at the moment. It's effective because it provides services, it has a military presence, it speaks as a state," said Hassan Hassan, an analyst at The Delma Institute in Abu Dhabi.
In propaganda videos, the group lays out ambitious expansion plans that include targets such as Baghdad, Damascus and Islam's holiest city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The Islamic State group controls oil fields, power plants, dams and factories in Iraq and Syria. Charles Lister, an analyst who closely tracks jihadist groups at the Brookings Doha Center in Qatar, estimates the group is capable of bringing in some $2 million a day just from the sale of oil. The group has long generated cash too from extortion, kidnapping for ransom, illicit businesses and other gangland-style criminal activity.
Militarily, the group has seized heavy weaponry, including tanks, artillery pieces and surface-to-surface missiles, from Iraqi and Syrian forces. Human Rights Watch has accused the group of using ground-fired cluster munitions in at least one place in northern Syria.
The world has seen the risk of allowing a state sympathetic to Islamic extremists exist before. Al-Qaida was able to flourish and plot the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in large part because it had a safe haven in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
The Islamic State group is a far superior threat today than al-Qaida was in 2001. It is richer, operates a modern, effective media arm and holds much more territory than al-Qaida ever did. And while al-Qaida operated on the basis of a loose network of various cells in different countries — a decentralization that worked in its favor in the beginning — the group eventually could no longer centralize its command in a coherent way.
"With the Islamic State we are seeing a highly centralized command and governing structure which will require a new counterterrorism strategy in the region," said Lina Khatib, director of the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut.
Colin Clarke, a political scientist at the RAND Corporation who researches global security, said even without the trappings of any kind of nationhood, the territory that the Islamic State group controls "can still prove to be an incubator for extremism ... and exporter of terrorism."
Both Iraq and Syria are rife with corruption and weakened by sectarian divisions that the Islamic State group and other extremists exploit.
In an audio speech released in July, the group's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, listed instances of alleged oppression of Muslims around the world, describing the "Islamic State" as one that "will return your dignity, might, rights and leadership."
With its transnational agenda, the group has become a magnet for disenfranchised young Muslims from all over the world.
The group's leader has called on scholars, judges, doctors and engineers to flock to the region to help build the state. In a recent article, the group's English-language magazine offered them advice: "Do not worry about money or accommodation. ... There are plenty of homes and resources to cover you and your family."
The Islamic State group so far has shown little desire, let alone the capability, to launch major terrorist attacks in the West. But that could change.
Islamic State militants called American journalist James Foley's gruesome videotaped beheading revenge for U.S. airstrikes against the group, and they still hold at least three other Americans hostage, including freelance journalist Steven Sotloff. A video posted online Tuesday purported to show Sotloff's beheading by the group.
Apart from Foley's killing and random threats by individual fighters, however, there are few other instances in which the Islamic State group officially threatened the U.S. of the West. This sets apart the group from al-Qaida, which has long made attacks on the West a priority.
Western officials are concerned about the threat posed by Islamic State sympathizers. They point to the case of Mehdi Nemmouche, a Frenchman who authorities say fought alongside Islamic State militants before he shot four people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels in May.
Analysts believes the group is foremost a regional threat but acknowledge that "lone wolf" attackers inspired by the group's ideology do threaten the West.
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah warned last week: "If neglected, I am certain that after a month they (IS) will reach Europe and, after another month, America." British officials have raised the country's terror threat level to "severe," its second-highest level, because of developments in Iraq and Syria.

NEW YORK (AP) — Squeezed into tighter and tighter spaces, airline passengers appear to be rebelling, taking their frustrations out on other fliers.
Three U.S. flights made unscheduled landings in the past eight days after passengers got into fights over the ability to recline their seats. Disputes over a tiny bit of personal space might seem petty, but for passengers whose knees are already banging into tray tables, every inch counts.
"Seats are getting closer together," says Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants, which represents 60,000 flight attendants at 19 airlines. "We have to de-escalate conflict all the time."
There are fights over overhead bin space, legroom and where to put winter coats.
"We haven't hit the end of it," Nelson says. "The conditions continue to march in a direction that will lead to more and more conflict."
Airlines today are juggling terror warnings in Britain, the Ebola outbreak in Africa and an Icelandic volcano erupting and threatening to close down European airspace. Yet, the issue of disruptive passengers has captured the world's attention.
It's getting to the point where the pre-flight safety videos need an additional warning: Be nice to your neighbor.
The International Air Transport Association calls unruly passengers "an escalating problem," saying there was one incident for every 1,300 flights in the past three years. The trade group would not share detailed historical data to back up the assertion that this is a growing problem.
Today's flying experience is far from glamorous. Passengers wait in long lines for security screening, push and shove at the gate to be first on board, and then fight for the limited overhead bin space. They are already agitated by the time they arrive at their row and see how cramped it is.
To boost their profits, airlines have been adding more rows of seats to planes in the past few years.
Southwest and United both took away one inch from each row on certain jets to make room for six more seats. American is increasing the number of seats on its Boeing 737-800s from 150 to 160. Delta installed new, smaller toilets in its 737-900s, enabling it to squeeze in an extra four seats. And to make room for a first-class cabin with lie-flat beds on its transcontinental flights, JetBlue cut one inch of legroom for coach passengers.
Airlines say passengers won't notice because the seats are being redesigned to create a sense of more space. Southwest's seats have thinner seatback magazine pockets, Alaska Airlines shrank the size of tray tables, and United moved the magazine pocket, getting it away from passengers' knees.
But passengers aren't just losing legroom; they're losing elbow room.
Airlines sold 84 percent of their seats on domestic flights so far this year, up from 81 percent five years ago and 74 percent a decade ago, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. That means there are fewer and fewer empty middle seats on which passengers can spread out.
The latest spate of passenger problems started Aug. 24, when a man on a United flight prevented the woman in front of him from reclining thanks to a $21.95 gadget called the Knee Defender. It attaches to a passenger's tray table and prevents the person in front from reclining. A flight attendant told the man to remove the device. He refused, and the passenger one row forward dumped a cup of water on him.
Three days later, on an American flight from Miami to Paris, two passengers got into a fight, again over a reclining seat, and the plane was diverted to Boston.
Then on Sunday night, on a Delta flight from New York to West Palm Beach, Florida, a woman resting her head on a tray table got upset when the passenger in front of her reclined his seat, hitting her in the head. That plane was diverted to Jacksonville, Florida.
The passengers on both the United and Delta flights were already sitting in premium coach sections that have 4 inches of extra legroom.
There were 14,903 flight diversions by U.S. airlines in the 12-month period ending in June, according to an Associated Press analysis of Department of Transportation reports. That means, 41 flights a day, on average, make unscheduled landings at other airports.
The government doesn't break out the reason for diversions, but industry experts say the vast majority occur because of bad weather or mechanical problems. And diversions remain a tiny portion of the 6 million annual flights in the U.S. — less than a quarter of a percentage point.
The decision to divert is up to the pilot. Delta spokesman Morgan Durrant says the crew must determine if the person is going to cause harm to others or has terrorist intentions.
It can cost an airline $6,000 an hour, plus airport landing fees, to divert the standard domestic jet, according to independent airline analyst Robert Mann.
"These costs are among the reasons why airlines ought to be arbitrating these in-flight issues instead of diverting, not to mention the significant inconvenience to all customers and possible disruption of onward connections," Mann says.
Ben Baldanza, CEO of Spirit Airlines, says that if airlines install seats that can recline, passengers should have the right to recline. Of course, Spirit and Allegiant Air are the only U.S. airlines to install seats that don't recline.
"People should lose the emotion," Baldanza says. "We've never had to divert because of legroom issues."

ATLANTA (AP) — Tougher laws have led to a decline in boating accidents and incident-related fatalities for a second straight year, but not all the numbers are promising.
Boating under the influence citations are up, and there's been a significant uptick in drownings — 33 so far in 2014, up from 22 the year before. There was nearly another drowning Monday on Chattahoochee River where, according to WSB-TV, a unidentified female kayaker tipped over and was hospitalized in critical condition.
Still, the overall trend lines are moving in the right direction. There have been only six boating incident-related fatalities in 2014, one-third the annual average of 18 since 1985. While the drownings have risen since 2013, the totals are still well below the average of 52 each of the past 15 years, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
The uptick in BUIs reflect new laws that lowered the blood-alcohol content threshold from .10 to .08, state law enforcement officials say, but the 158 citations issued is still a far cry from the annual average of 274 over the last two decades. Legislators strengthened boating laws following two well-publicized incidents on Lake Lanier in 2012 that killed three children, including two brothers.
Taking note of the stricter standards, Vince Smith apparently drew the short stick as he celebrated the holiday with 23 friends on a rented houseboat.
"I'm the designated driver," said Smith, 24, as his friends sipped cocktails with music booming from the radio, "so I'm not too worried."
Also this year, the state began mandating safety courses for boaters born after July 1, 1998. Also, renters of boats with a 10-horsepower engine or larger are now required to take safety classes.
"The Labor Day weekend is not usually as busy as Memorial Day or the July 4th weekends," said Lt. Col. Jeff Weaver, assistant director of DNR's Law Enforcement Division. The volume appeared manageable Monday on Lanier — which draws 7.5 million visitors annually — even in Sunset Cove, a popular destination for revelers.
"We were planning on going to a quieter cove by now but it really hasn't been that crowded here," said Ashley Elliott, 39, of Cumming.
Elliott said she's noticed an increase in law enforcement on the lake, a development she said she welcomes, "to a point."
"Sometimes they go a little overboard," she said.

DENVER (AP) — Colorado's pot regulators are trying to make sure the state's marijuana growers aren't producing more pot than they can legally sell — a hedge against Colorado-grown pot ending up in states where it's not legal.

WALDO, Fla. (AP) — The north Florida town of Waldo has long had a reputation as a speed trap, and it's no wonder. A small segment of highway that runs through Waldo requires drivers to speed up and slow down six times: 65 mph becomes 55 mph; 55 becomes 45; then goes back to 55; then back down to 45; to 55 again and eventually, 35 mph.
AAA named the tiny town between Jacksonville and Gainesville one of only two "traffic traps" nationwide and even placed an attention-getting billboard outside the limits of the town to warn drivers to slow down before entering.
Now Waldo faces a scandal following allegations that the town victimizes motorists to turn a profit. Two police chiefs have been suspended, the police department has rebelled and the state is investigating possible wrongdoing.
The situation simmered for years until this month, when Police Chief Mike Szabo was suspended Aug. 12, apparently in response to an investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement into suspected improprieties in the way officers write tickets.
The issue then burst into the open two weeks later at a Waldo City Council meeting, when a group of police officers said they had been ordered by Szabo to write at least 12 tickets per 12-hour shift or face repercussions.
The officers also leveled allegations at the Aug. 26 meeting against Cpl. Kenneth Smith, who had been picked to fill in for Szabo. The officers complained that Smith had, among other things, mishandled evidence. The city council then suspended Smith.
Not surprisingly, things are tense at the tiny stucco storefront office that serves as Waldo City Hall. On Friday morning, Mayor Louie Davis and City Manager Kim Worley met in a small cluttered office to discuss the controversy, slamming a door shut with a "no comment" when a reporter walked in seeking information.
Waldo has long had a reputation as a speed trap, but the allegations made by the police officers were particularly stunning since ticket quotas are illegal under Florida law.
In 2013, Waldo's seven police officers filed 11,603 traffic citations, according to records obtained by the Gainesville Sun newspaper. That compares with 25,461 citations in 2013 for much larger Gainesville, which has 300 officers and 128,000 residents, including thousands of college students.
The fines paid by motorists are a big money-maker. According to the city's 2013 budget, about half of its $1 million in revenue came from "court fines" from tickets issued.
After council appearance, the officers filed a complaint with the Florida Inspector General's Office seeking protection under the Florida Whistleblower Act. The officers said they were forced to go public because Worley failed to conduct an investigation after they told her about the quotas, the mismanagement of evidence and other problems, according to the complaint.
"City manager Worley broke the trust of the concerned members and went straight to Chief Szabo," the officers said in the complaint. "Chief Szabo then took a retaliatory stance against the members for approximately six months."
In a written statement released after the council meeting, Worley said the city takes the officers' allegations seriously but will not comment further. She has requested that a commander from the Alachua County Sheriff's Office take over leadership of the department.
The State Attorney's Office in Alachua County said it is waiting for the FDLE to finish its investigation of ticket quotas and other wrongdoing before deciding whether to file charges against either Szabo or Smith. The FDLE did not return a message seeking comment.
The Florida Department of Transportation is in charge of setting speed limits, but says it did factor in requests from Waldo officials when setting up speed limits there.
Because the stretch of highway with six different speed limits runs by schools and a popular flea market that draws many pedestrians, the department said the speed changes are legal. But enforcing speed limits is Waldo's responsibility, said Tony Falotico, a traffic operations engineer at FDOT.
Waldo residents said many people do drive through town too quickly, but hope the multiple speed limit changes could be reduced to make it easier to comply with the law.
Some welcomed news of the state's investigation, saying people are tired of the harassment.
"I'm glad they're doing something about it," said Mike Barrs, 35, a longtime Waldo resident who said he's gotten at least 20 tickets. "If I had a light out on my trailer they'll pull me over for that, for anything."
AAA, which named Waldo and nearby town of Lawtey as the nation's two worst speed traps, said it opposes traffic enforcement practices designed to raise revenue rather than increase road safety.
"AAA condemns all practices," spokeswoman Karen Morgan said, "whereby law enforcement agency rates the efficiency of its officers based upon the number of arrests made or citations issued."

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal investigation that included surprise inspections was unable to substantiate 16 accusations by advocacy groups that the government packed into frigid cells children caught crossing the border alone, made them sleep on hard floors and provided inadequate food or medical care. Other claims about treatment of the children are still under review, according to the Homeland Security Department.
Inspector General John Roth said in a memo made public Tuesday that immigrants alternately complain that detention facilities are too cold or too hot, but either way, there are cloth or disposable blankets. Likewise, Roth said food service has also improved since the American Civil Liberties Union and four other advocacy groups in June made 116 allegations of wrongdoing, mistreatment and abuses by border agents. Among the complaints was a lack of food.
In the memo to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Roth said his investigators couldn't substantiate any of 16 allegations it investigated. Its investigative findings were presented to federal prosecutors, who declined to prosecute "based on the absence of criminal activities," Roth said.
Roth told Johnson that the remaining 100 complaints are still being investigated by the Immigration Enforcement's Office of Professional Responsibility, CBP's Office of Internal Affairs and the DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
In June, the ACLU and others complained of "systematic abuse" of immigrant children caught crossing the border alone. The groups said more than 80 percent of the immigrants complained that they received inadequate food and water, about half were denied medical care, and about one of every four was physically abused.
The complaints included a 13-year-old boy who said he was threatened by an official with a metal rod and was later sexually molested while in custody, a 14-year-old girl who reported her asthma inhaler was confiscated, and a 14-year-old boy who said he was unable to sleep for five days because the lights were always on. A 16-year-old boy said an official told him, "You are in my country now, and we are going to bury you in a hole."
The ACLU did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.
Roth's memo said most of the 41 Border Patrol facilities where investigators made 57 unannounced visits in Texas and New Mexico were complying with laws and department policies about treatment of the children. The requirements include providing access to clean toilets and sinks, adequate food and water and access to emergency medical care and telephones.
Since last Oct. 1, more than 62,000 child immigrants have been caught crossing the border alone, mostly in the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas. The wave of unaccompanied children overwhelmed the Border Patrol's facilities, prompting the agency to house children in temporary holding cells. Thousands of children were also transferred to other Border Patrol facilities along the border.
Roth said investigators from his office also made three unannounced visits to a family detention center in Artesia, New Mexico, where more than 600 immigrant women and their children have been held since late June. He said investigators did not see any misconduct during any of the site visits.

You might be familiar with Adam Selman as the designer behind some of Rihanna's most talked-about costumes. Now he's at the helm of his eponymous label and seducing a global fan base who love his playful and flirtatious designs. Here he shows us just how playful he is in this week's #My Selfie.
What is the trait you most admire about the fashion industry?
The tenacity.
What is the trait you most deplore about the fashion industry?
The entitlement.
If you were to be reincarnated as a piece of clothing, what would you be and why?
A pair of pantyhose in a suntan colour which would probably be control top…a nice pair though, unless I was packaged in an egg. My life would be short, unnoticed by many, but the few who took notice would be the special ones. Pantyhose must have all the good stories.
What was your most memorable fashion moment?
Gathering the inspiration and idea for my first collection and show. There were no rules or implied expectations, it was purely creative.

↵Oh, I'm sorry. I had to go change my pants. Staring down a mid-workout Shawne Merriman ranks up there with chewing glass and seeing the new Final Destination movie on the list of things I'd rather not have happen to me any time soon. ↵
↵For the record, here is the tweet from Ochocinco that provoked said reaction (and a full conversation that followed). It also provoked a pretty funny rant at the most recent SDTweetup, which you see about four minutes into the video at that link. Even Mashable's Jennifer Van Grove talks some tech samck at Ochocinco for not being able to figure out how to use a web cam (5:30ish mark of the video). ↵↵
↵I guess the moral of the story we've learned here is that Ochocinco certainly isn't ready for Merriman if he can't even handle Jennifer from Mashable. ↵

Debuting on the 15th of March, 2009, NBC's Kings is like some bizarre tonal clash of Gossip Girl and Battlestar Galactica. It tells the biblical story of King David, but set in another world not unlike Present Day Present Time, in which the kingdom of Gilboa, where King Silas Benjamin (played by Deadwood's Ian McShane) has just inaugurated the new capital of Shiloh. Two years later, when Gilboa is at war with the neighboring kingdom of Gath, a plucky young soldier named David Shepherd goes behind enemy lines to rescue hostages, singlehandedly destroying a Goliath tank on the way. Then one of the hostages turns out to be Jack Benjamin, the crown prince... and so David's political life begins. Also stars Susanna Thompson (the second Borg Queen), Christopher Egan, Eamonn Walker, Sebastian Stan, and Allison Miller.Canceled due to extraordinarily poor ratings (no episode ever placed higher than 4th regardless of which night it aired) and an extraordinarily high budget (estimated at $4 million per episode with the pilot coming in at a staggering $10 million), although the series creator disputes the second part.On a side note: the story of David and Saul comes from The First Book of Samuel, not Kings.
Kings provides examples of the following tropes:

President Obama and Congress are rightfully moving to provide federal assistance for those impacted by Hurricane (Superstorm) Sandy. Unfortunately in their zeal for action the Senate is proposing to go far beyond what is needed for disaster recovery, threatening the future health and vitality of our coastal beaches and communities by giving a blank check to the Corps of Engineers. Here's a few concerns in the proposed bill:
While the Corps clearly has a role in protecting coastal communities, we fear that the Corps will dredge and pump a bunch of sand on the beaches and call it a day, giving people a false sense of security and incentivizing business as usual, while setting us up for this very thing to happen again.

Postcard from Rhode Island: AAM Talks Trade at UUA Convention
Greetings from the Ocean State!
Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) Field Coordinators Linda Murch and Rachel Bennett Steury recently attended the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) General Assembly in Rhode Island. They weren't alone, as more than 4,600 delegates from all over the world attended the annual meeting to worship, witness, learn, connect, and vote on UUA policy. And many of them — from as nearby as Providence and far away as Transylvania —came to visit AAM's booth to talk about jobs, fair trade, and social justice.
AAM and UUA share a common mission to ensure our trade practices do not disadvantage or exploit working people. It is AAM's goal to make sure legislators understand that inequality and unfair trade can be a detriment to an economic revival in the US — not to mention a cause environmental, workplace and social degradation overseas. Working people across the globe should be able to make an honest living for themselves, free from fear or exploitation caused by bad policy and political agendas. Unfair trade eliminates common decency and equity from those equations.
At this year's assembly, delegates approved a 4-year Congregational Study/Action Issue around escalating inequality. It explains:
Upward mobility—the American Dream—has become a myth. Concentration of wealth and power has skyrocketed. King's dream of justice and equality has fractured. Half of all Americans are impoverished or struggling, as the middle class shrinks and billionaires take the profits. Where's our commitment to the Common Good?
Among many other things, the four-year program will:
Study root causes of inequality, such as corporate globalization, "free trade", outsourcing, privatization, tax shifting and evasion, subsidies and bailouts, monopoly, suppression of labor, money in politics, "externalizing" social and environmental costs, "free market" / libertarian ideologies, deregulation, unlimited income / wealth.
We are pleased to be aligned with an organization that doesn't stand on the sidelines but instead stands up, stands tall, and works toward justice. Congratulations to the Unitarian Universalists for a Just Economic Community for their tireless efforts addressing inequality through this study. Together we can make a difference.
This post was authored by AAM Field Coordinator Rachel Bennett Steury.
Linda is pictured with Dale McCormick, a delegate from Maine, a good example of someone living through Unitarian Universalist principles for social justice, women's rights, and political activism.

How weapons companies decide votes and, consequently, laws
The other night on 60 Minutes they were covering Stuxnet and pointing out how that code could be used on our own nuke plants, on our electrical grids, and . . . our bank accounts. That means your money could literally disappear out of your bank account, and if the Fed claimed to be overwhelmed, we will all be lining up in food lines with no money. The situation is getting more serious every day. Sorry to sound paranoid, but we are all really being ripped off and we need to take action on every front, not just street action and non-profits and sit-ins, as important as those are. We also need this . . .
Why should you re-register with a spoiler?
Why would you want to "throw away" your vote?
If you are voting Democrat or Republican, you are part of the problem, as much as you really just want to do the right thing.
Both of these parties are now raising billions of dollars in their presidential campaigns while our schools are closing, jobs disappearing, corporations like Exxon paying no taxes, and our college students are entering massive debt.
What are those billions going toward? Ads.
TV Ads, to make you vote for them.
And guess what? When you vote for them, you reinforce that vicious cycle of more and more and more money, flowing like an avalanche, to buy the candidates by the corporations, the billionaires, etc.
Meanwhile, the rest of us are falling into a hole.
Until you stop and get off the ride, it will keep running faster and faster.
Even on the LOCAL level, the Dems and the Republicans are beholden to their party before the people. The parties are now only vehicles for the super rich, which means that the profits of the corporations and the billionaires are primary, always.
Someone did a study recently that showed that the vast majority of legislation passed by Congress does nothing for average people, but is only in the service of the corporations and the super rich. It's getting worse by the minute.
All of this will never change as long as you keep voting for them.
Small parties WILL flourish if people will have the courage to step away from the Ds and Rs. Even if there are no candidates in your area, when you re-register with a small party, that number goes toward getting them on the ballot, exciting the members of that party, and inspiring people like teachers and doctors and almost anyone to run for office.
You can re-register with a small party but still vote for anyone you like in the November election.
Don't let CNNABCCBSABC decide for you who you are voting for.
If you do, they win. And of course, they are all owned by the same companies making the drones and missiles we are paying billions to fire on people in Pakistan, one every three days . . . Don't let a weapons company decide who you think should make our laws.
In California, you can re-register with a new party or Decline to State, here -- http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/register-to-vote/
"If voting mattered it would be illegal"
Does voting matter?
Does registration matter?
Registration numbers are real, regardless of whether you vote or not. That sends a huge message that people are not going to play the game anymore and are waking up and that's how you make real change.
In Egypt hundreds of thousands of ballots were intentionally spoiled by voters to send a message to those in power (*along with* getting the streets, of course -- the Egyptians understand that it all matters, not just protests and not just elections).
Here in the US, if you spoil your ballot, no one will notice.
And if you just don't vote, then the D and R voters will decide for you how your government will run and what your laws are. They will create an easy explanation for why people didn't vote, just like they have for why all of a sudden the exit polls no longer reflect the actual vote tallies. The US propaganda machine is primed to explain away things like low turnout or unexpected results.
What they can't explain is when people actively do something against the power, like registering for a tiny non-corporate political party, or moving their money to a tiny local credit union.
If you register with a so-called "spoiler" party, believe me, they will notice, and the silence from CNNABCCBS will be deafening because they have no explanations.
And best of all, there will be nothing they can do about it. They cannot actually buy your vote. They can make you feel hopeless or arrest you in the streets, but they can't stop you from registering with a tiny political party that is saying no to their garbage. Only you have that power.

Fire Demonstration Shows How Fast Flames Spread
HUBER HEIGHTS -- The first line of defense against a fire is a smoke detector.
They're often your earliest and only warning to a fire, but what you have in your home is also a huge factor.
Huber Heights firefighters shared a video with ABC 22/FOX 45 showing two average looking rooms that any one of us would recognize.
A lamp, couch, and coffee table.
So what's the difference?
The one on the left has furniture made the way it was 40 years ago, cotton fabric and real wood.
The one on the right is full of modern furniture, made from petroleum-based products.
"It's only a couple molecules away from gasoline," said Jason Eckert, Fire Marshal for Huber Heights Fire Department.
What does that mean?
Watch carefully, and keep an eye on the time at the bottom of your screen.
"Used to be you would say every minute fire would double in size," said Eckert. "We really don't have a good number for it now but it's drastically reduced."
So drastically reduced, that the room on the right is fully engulfed in 3-minutes and 40-seconds.
Flash forward and the room on the left takes 29-minutes and 25-seconds.
"Sometimes you have under 30 seconds to get out of the house before your egress corridor, your hallway, is completely consumed in smoke and you're trapped," said Eckert.
"I was cooking some beef and all of a sudden flames just shot up," said a homeowner who wants to remain anonymous.
In November, her home nearly caught on fire.
"The flames were touching the microwave that was above the stove," she said. "I mean it was an instant, I mean I had seconds to react or it would have spread quickly."
In the midst of the chaos, her smoke alarm went off, alerting her son, who grabbed the phone, ran out of the house and called 9-1-1.
She credits her quick reaction to the early warning from the smoke detector, and has advice for others.
"Make sure you change those batteries, and don't be afraid to call, I mean we did not have fire but they told us we did the right thing, better be safe than sorry," she said.
Most of your local fire departments give out free smoke detectors.
They give them out on a need base and will often install them for you as well.

BorgWarner's Engine Timing Components Improve Fuel Economy for the Daihatsu Mira e:S BorgWarner Receives Daihatsu Suppliers' Excellence Award for Contributions toward Outstanding Fuel Economy
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., July 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BorgWarner's (NYSE: BWA) new advanced low-friction silent chain and compact hydraulic tensioner help the Daihatsu Mira e:S achieve 30 km/liter (70.5 mpg). Branded "e:S" for "energy saving technology," the minicar launched in Japan last fall and is powered by a 0.66-liter I3 gasoline engine which also drives the recently launched Daihatsu Tanto, Move and Conte minicars for the Japanese market. Daihatsu expects e:S technology to be available for other car applications soon. BorgWarner's friction-reducing engine timing technologies provide low weight, compact packaging and simplified tensioner tuning compared with competitive products. Daihatsu presented a Suppliers' Excellence Award to BorgWarner to recognize its contributions toward the engine's outstanding fuel economy.

"At BorgWarner, we understand the intricate interactions between engine timing system components because we design, develop and manufacture a complete portfolio of products, from chains and camshaft phasers to tensioners and sprockets. As technology leaders, we excel in developing integrated solutions for low-weight, low-friction and low-noise applications," said Joe Fadool, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Morse TEC. "We are pleased to expand our 25-year relationship with Daihatsu and honored to receive a Suppliers' Excellence Award."
Working closely with Daihatsu, BorgWarner engineers used dynamic and simulative testing tools, state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies and light-weight materials to produce optimized, high-performance timing system components. Based on its best-in-class silent chain technology, BorgWarner developed a new low-friction, low-weight and smaller-width inverted tooth chain with superior noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). In addition, a new lightweight, compact hydraulic tensioner precisely maintains chain control while reducing loads and frictional losses. The combination of BorgWarner's new silent chain and compact hydraulic tensioner reduces weight and friction to help the engine run more efficiently and improve fuel economy.

This piece is absolutely unbelievable. Carved from wood, the horseman, the horse,The Christ, and the (Angels?) on the large base are all simply "Striking" and amazing in workmanship. On this one the pictures will have to do the talking. The statue is in good shape except the soldier is missing one hand and probably a sword, and Jesus is missing four fingers. Statue is 17 1/2" high, 8 1/2" wide, and 4 3/4" deep. This is probably the most unbelievable of my Santos Collection!
