While Kaep's fumble certainly did not help the team win on Sunday, I believe that for the long-term success of the team, it was the most important play of the day. Kaep carried the ball a bit carelessly and lost it deep in the opponent's territory. He looked dejected on the sideline right after.
Up to that point, Kaep has had nothing but success this year, in addition to plenty of media attention for a 2nd string QB. With the fumble, he got the opportunity to learn the importance of taking care of the ball, and the ups and downs that come with playing QB. There is no reason to say that he was full of himself, but he certainly got a serving of humble pie. Kaep will be a better QB of the future for this mistake.
The second aspect of this situation is the amazing job that the coaches are doing. I love that they predominantly sit rookies during game time. Rookies have their hands full and learn plenty from practices. If a rookie can contribute, they will play like Culliver did last year. The coaches are taking care not to rush anyone onto the field though. Now that Kaep sat for a year and worked hard in practice, the coaches are getting him on the field in limited action. This is Kaep's next learning step. And the fumble was a great learning experience without costing the team a victory.
Additionally, the coaches showed absolute trust in Kaep by putting him back in later in the game. I love this too. Harbaugh sees the best in every player, and the players respond by living up to the expectation that the coach sets. Worked for Kyle Williams, and I suppose for many other players.

It seems that everyone is making a point to voice their opinion for a certain individual to join the ranks of our wonderful Eagles. It first began over the linebackers - an obvious choice for such nominations. However I wish to begin with a new (or fairly new) position to begin the individual arguments, the Quarterback. We have Michael Vick - the clear cut starter for multiple years. We have Mike Kafka - a solid back up - but I am not sold on his "future" potential as handling any role as a starter in the post-Vick era. And while we are still in the Vick era, it is important to realize the fact that he himself is only human and is unlikely that he will last an entire season - the sooner as a fan we accept this more important the QBs as a whole become. Now why Chad Henne? A 2nd round pick for the Miami Dolphins, it seems as if though his dream of being a starter today is long gone after his four seasons with Miami. We have all heard of Miami's "bid" for the number one pick earlier in the season which started under him. But throughout his time he did show flashes, as I will attempt to show. He has great tangibles as well as a few intangibles. All of his problems over his starting career I will also attempt to address the best I can under what I THOUGHT could be reasons for his lack of success.
And so my debate begins, with a clip of his rookie year...
This is his first preseason game I believe. It is actually a relatively horrible game for the Dolphins in general however there are two individual plays I ask for you to look at. The first is at around the 00:40 second mark, and the play will be hard to miss, trust me. The second is at the 01:45 mark or so, right after the 2nd half highlights introduction.
My best friend is a die hard Dolphins fan. This was the first footage he ever showed me of Chad Henne and asked me to just "watch" this one play. Did you hear the announcer? My friend said it's because he hadn't seen a young gun with a Dolphins uniform throw that hard since Dan Marino.
And so I begin with, he has amazing tangibles. He has a ROCKET arm (as later highlights can prove). He has good pocket presence and as I will show in his 2009 year (there is a reason why his 2009 season is THE season I argue with). He stands tall at 6' 3" and keeps his feet moving in the pocket. He likes the to stay in the pocket but will run if he has to (not THAT fast though). I joked with my friend that if he decided to leave the pocket half a second earlier on nearly every scramble he's done, they probably would be a winning team on account of how many times he's done it on 3rd down and fallen short. He also has shown some intangibles such as good pocket presence (could improve) and has games where he has been a good game manager. He also flows well with progressions. So well he almost found the RBs too much (but with Shady there...).
And so the first will say that this just preseason in his rookie year nearly four years ago. The level of play was most likely sub-par for NFL season standards so how does he fair against NFL caliber players? We get that chance in 2009 as Pennington suffered ANOTHER shoulder injury, ushering the era of Henne. So how does he do?
Well he does share a division with the then, 2009 Jets, who advanced into the AFC championship with the help of all 53 players minus one mark Sanchez.
And so with these highlights I argue that he can make several of the throws that are required for an NFL quarterback and can put quite a bit of zip onto it, He showed good presence under pressure (screen pass and one other). Showed touch, a bit of boot-leg mobility, and his rocket arm on that TD pass to Ginn Jr. (Kolb could not make that throw - we all know this). Oh and by the way, how about how cool he was in the 4th quarter, his first 4th quarter comeback.
But Chad Henne we all know has his down days. Those are the one's people will point to but I would like to bring up another point, an intangible in my opinion, but his ability to shake off past mistakes and keep his head in the game.
This wasn't a good game by any means for Chad Henne. But for those who watched, what did he do? He won the game, after giving it away it seemed. And for the record, my best friend showed me an extended highlight reel of this particular game and Henne made 3 straight AMAZING completions (including the last throw in this highlight reel). He makes mistakes, all quarterbacks and humans do. But he forgets his mistakes, mans up, and can get the job done. And put up another comeback please.
Alright so he beat the Jets, which we all know now is an over-hyped team. They beat the Bucs who now...But can he beat a real winner? A team that can say they have a chance to make the playoffs every year. Like the New England Patriots.
That was a great game because I watched that with my best friend at the bar while we were pounding the Falcons (Oh Weaver, you were so so awesome). And within it, showed everything Henne can do - throw hard, with touch, under pressure, short, medium, long and a bit of a step. Oh and he led another 4th quarter comeback.
So what happened? Why is he not under an extension or even succeeding? My friend and I have concluded on some opinions on that matter (so you know its Dolphin fan approved). Our first point to make, is the remarkable man named Dan Henning. Henning was the offensive coordinator of the Dolphins until last season. Why was Henning responsible? Because of his age, becoming senile, whatever the reason the Dolphins offense was from the moment the play was called, too stagnant even in today's run heavy offenses. This led to innumerable horrible play calls to which the DOLPHINS TEAM could not compensate for (Imagine the Castillo argument - if you make bad calls it doesn't matter how "talented" a team is). The other reason why his play didn't translate to success was the talent around him and the scheme in place. Overall, their offense lacked talent during his tenure as the starter. People will say that when Brandon Marshall arrived, there was the talent he needed but Marshall is actually a hindrance to Henne because of the offensive scheme implemented from then on. It is because of all of this that points for me to believe that he would actually succeed here.
And so I now go into the why he will be good HERE
Our offensive talent is overflowing compared to the Dolphins
We have solid starters across the board in every position. The biggest hole in our offense is Jackson's contract situation which we all know WILL BE ADDRESSED sometime soon. So really we have no REAL weaknesses. But why the Eagles? Well for one, it is all because of our personnel - they fit Henne. I hope someone smart has realized that the year with all the highlights I had shown were from the year 2009, the season BEFORE they acquired Brandon Marshall. So who did they have? A speed demon named Ted Ginn Jr. and I should also mention it really was ONLY him. He played well when he had someone to stretch the field for his slot and #2 receivers, leaving 7 in the box for Miami's run game - we can do the same thing.
Our offensive scheme fits Henne
Not necessarily in terms of West Coast offense but in terms of the general types of routes we run. Compared to most passing attacks, we are quite vertical. This philosophy of stretching the field naturally plays to Henne's strength - arm strength. With our deep and intermediate routes compared to the shorter routes in Miami (hardly any go's trust me), I believe he can "fit" into our system
Our coaches are better for teaching QBs
Need I say more about the history of Andy Reid or Marty Mornhinweg? For all the arguments that he didn't come from the same system, I believe arguments can be made for that we can teach him the necessary components of our offense.
Henne has starting experience and is low cost
Say what you will about his starting career, but all those wins and losses amount to experience no matter which way you cut it. Right now, though I think Kafka is adequate, we NEED a backup with some real NFL experience. And compared to potential other QBs in free agency, I anticipate Henne's price tag to be quite cheap. With the others, Flynn is looking for a starting job, McNabb is done, Orton will be too expensive; I actually like Campbell but I think he will also be expensive and Henne does offer something for the Eagles franchise unlike the others.
Potential transitional starter post vick-era
I believe when Vick leaves, Henne will be at a prime age to take over the reigns while we search for our next franchise successor. I believe that sitting on the bench and taking a break from a starting role, really learn an offense, and with his tangibles and intangibles help this franchise survive until our next guy. I like Henne over others as a transitional players because his youth will allow us to search maybe an extra season or two compared to the older QBs we can gain in free agency. I also believe drafting a quarterback this season is also a bit risky when that really makes Kafka backup by default in the knowledge of the system as well as the most experienced back up we have.
In conclusion, Henne isn't the secret to success for the decade. He isn't the greatest prospect in the league. But he has a lot of potential. The potential I can see Reid and Mornhinweg take advantage of and help him grow and learn the game. In the post I've tried to show how he has everything we could ask for as a potential back up and quarterback. I understand where hesitation can come from with getting this guy (because I've seen bad games too). I truly believe however that outside factors really influenced his success. I believe that this team is better suited for his style of play. And I believe his potential can be reached here in midnight green.

Former Korean War Marine Corporal Stephen Lacki to present program
BY: Metro Source Staff | December 08, 2012
The Niagara County History Center is pleased to welcome local Korean War veteran Stephen Lacki who will present a free public program titled, "KW60," at 2 p.m. Dec. 12, at the History Center, 215 Niagara St., Lockport.
Lacki is a local Ambassador to the U.S. Department of Defense for the Commemoration Committee that is overseeing the 60th anniversary of the Korean War. This group has adopted the moniker KW60.
The Korean War was the first test of the United Nations' resolve to stand against tyranny in all of its forms. Twenty-one nations banded together with the United States and South Korea in a remarkable display of solidarity to stem the tide of communism. The Korean War also saw the advent of aeronautical, medical and societal change: Helicopters were introduced to transport casualties to field hospitals; jets became the new "standard" for aircraft; leading-edge radio technology allowed better coordination of troop movements; and Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals (MASH) units placed experienced medical personnel closer to the front, improving a wounded soldier's chance for survival.
The Armistice signed in 1953 that remains in effect today reminds us we must remain vigilant against the forces of tyranny and oppression. Through the mission of KW60, Lacki and others remind us that we must never forget the selfless sacrifices of the veterans who fought in Korea to ensure the freedom and prosperity that we enjoy today.
Lacki is a frequent writer on the topic of the Korean War. He will be presenting from his first hand experiences as a Marine Corporal during the conflict and explaining events surrounding KW60 at the program at the History Center.
For more information please call the center at 434-7433.

History of North Shore Bank - In April 1888 a meeting of citizens was held at the Peabody Institute and addressed by the Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts John Q. A. Brackett, later to become Governor of Massachusetts. Governor Brackett was one of the foremost advocates of the new form of cooperative savings and loans.
As a result of that meeting the Peabody Cooperative Bank was formed on May 28, 1888, with fifteen directors. The first President of the new institution was George F. Sanger, who operated a glue factory. Patrick H. O'Conor was named Vice President, and the Secretary and Treasurer was Henry F. Walker. Peabody Cooperative Bank was the last bank established while Peabody was still a town.
The bank was first located in O.B. Chadwick's insurance office, rent free. As the business increased the bank moved to a suite of rooms located at 12 Peabody Square, which was also known as Thomas block. Later the bank moved to the street floor in that building when an addition was put on.
In 1952, a colonial brick building, and the site of the banks present Main Office, was erected at 32 Main Street. The bank assets grew from $13,160 in 1888, to over $7 million in 1952.
In 1970, it was announced that the Peabody Cooperative Bank and the Danvers Cooperative Bank proposed to consolidate into a single co-operative bank, with the Peabody bank being the continuing corporation, under the name of the George Peabody Co-operative Bank, honoring the name of the world famous philanthropist who the city was named after. The terms of the consolidation were agreed upon by the Board of Directors of each bank. The resources of the George Peabody Co-operative Bank were in excess of $31 million at the time of the consolidation, making it one of the largest in Massachusetts at that time.
In 1982, George Peabody Co-operative Bank merged with The Roger Conant Co-operative Bank in Salem, Massachusetts. At that time, assets of the bank had grown to over $100 million.
In 1996, under the leadership of President Francis J. McCormack, the bank's name was officially changed to North Shore Bank in recognition of its growth and the offering of a full range of services indicative of a modern community financial institution. That year, the bank also formed North Shore Bankcorp, a bank holding company, and established the George Peabody Community Loan Fund which provided affordable loans to credit-worthy small businesses, real estate owners, and first time home buyers in the community.
In 2007, a new Corporate Headquarters was built on Andover Street, Route 114 in Peabody, and later that year David J. LaFlamme was named President of the bank.
For over 120 years, we have provided quality banking services to families and businesses throughout the North Shore. As a well-capitalized community bank, we are committed to developing strong customer relationships by providing quality products along with outstanding customer service.

Propane dealer says high prices may ease within a month
The federal government is providing assistance for midwesterners hit hard by a dramatic increase in the price of propane in the past three weeks. The cost of the fuel that many use to heat their homes has gone from a little over one dollar per gallon to about five dollars per gallon. The price was driven higher by the extreme cold weather, plus the wet summer that had farmers using propane to dry their crops.

Columbus Short just can't seem to catch a break.
The former Scandal star was arrested and...read more
When Scandal returns, the ABC political fixer drama will waste no time resolving many of the jaw-dropping cliff-hangers that fans have been discussing all summer.
In the Season 3 finale, Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) inadvertently fulfilled her father Rowan's (Joe Morton) wishes by boarding a plane with Jake (Scott Foley), leaving behind Washington D.C. and Fitz (Tony Goldwyn). Little did she know, daddy dearest murdered Fitz and Mellie's (Bellamy Young) son in a bid to become Command of B613 again and insure that POTUS would stay in office.
Scandal: Who didn't survive the season finale?
The only person who figured it out was the one man who had a gun pointed at his head in the closing moments of the finale. And Harrison's fate is certainly up in the air now that Columbus Short will not be returning to the show. So, what does this mean for the Gladiators in Season 4? TVGuide.com sat down with showrunner Shonda Rhimes to get the scoop:read more
It's been a rough six months for Columbus Short. The actor's arrest for public intoxication over the holiday weekend was just the latest in a string of incidents for the former Scandal star.
In a new interview with Access Hollywood, Short opened up for the first time about his drinking problem and being fired from Scandal after several run-ins with the law.
Darby Stanchfield, Jeff Perry and Columbus Short from ABC's Scandal give the ladies of The View a peek into their "scandalous" world.

Question: From the moment Cyrus elected (pun intended) not to let anyone else in on the bomb threat to the final silliness of Olivia and Jake wending skyward on daddy's jet, the Scandal finale was all the usual over-the-top perfection Gladiators have come to love and expect from Shonda Rhimes when she's operating at the top of her "a little too much is not enough" game. Nice homage to the Keyser Söze reveal from The Usual Suspects at the end. Sorry Columbus Short got offed; perhaps if his character had been given a real reel life I'd miss him more, but that was one of the flaws in the mostly great/outlandish storytelling that truly bugged this fangirl. I know it was a rush from plot point to plot point, but I'm willing to accept the pregnancy as a legitimate excuse for the end-of-season, roller rink stop-and-go, punch in the face/gut action. And what a nice sendoff for Joe Morton! Now let's see how Rhimes gets Olivia back in the game. Who's she gonna play with now? This could be a signal that there are new players, yet to be named. And how in the expletive deleted are they (Ms. Rhimes and Ms. Pope) gonna top that?! — McKenzie

Scandal's season finale was quite explosive — but it wasn't the bomb that was the most shocking moment.
The big bomb scare was actually quickly resolved in the opening moments of Thursday's episode, with Jake (Scott Foley) arriving at the Oval Office to tell Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) about the bomb at the church before it exploded, which allowed them to evacuate in time. Unfortunately...

KEMPER COUNTY, MS (WLBT) - Kemper County sheriff officials have made an arrest in an animal cruelty case. The arrest comes after officials discovered more than 100 dogs living in deplorable conditions at the suspect's home. The raid took place at the Raven's Hope Animal Sanctuary. That's in Preston.
Inside the house: ankle-deep filth and an overwhelming stench of urine and dog feces. Authorities arrested Virginia Robinson. The 56-year-old faces a charge of disorderly conduct and "doing harm to herself" after dozens of dogs and several cats were found inside the home in pens.
The executive director of the Mississippi Animal Rescue League says Robinson used her sanctuary as a non-profit group to lure donations. "She considered it a non-profit rescue and I'm sure that the donors would be absolutely appalled that they were sending money to support a situation where so many animals are suffering and have such inadequate care."
Officials say animal cruelty charges could also be filed against Robinson in the near future.

Without even going before the judges.
Charting Chris Brown's return.
That is an A+ reaction face.
His new album, 'F.A.M.E.,' has hit the Internet.
Chris Brown is unstoppable, apparently.
"It makes it difficult at award shows and such."
"LOVE ALL MY SUPPORTERS and people who know my heart.HOMOPHOBE?c'mon,find a better tactic."
"ME and @justinbieber got a BANGER/SMASH record for all the fans out there at the top of the NEW YEAR!!!"
But will they take responsibility for the unintentional hilarity of the clip, which features an assortment of people falling and getting back up?
'No Mercy,' December 7.
His new dancing-in-the-streets clip is like Lionel's "All Night Long" or Janet's "Alright," only with a song that's 10x times less catchy.
The R&B track gets updated with a slew of big-name guest spots.
Shamelessly generic dance-pop.
Plus: Chis Brown gives his next album a title.
"I've done it in Milan, Paris, different places."
But they may or may not be dating.
Mel Gibson, Chris Brown, and 'The Last Airbender' really bring us down.
And Tiger's not allowed to bring his ladies near the kids.

Dean's Update
Celebrating a year filled with academic successes and outstanding programs
December 17, 2009
As another year draws to a close we reflect on our good fortune at the Jepson School of Leadership Studies. Wonderful students continue to flock to the School. This fall 73 students joined Jepson at Prelude in November when presidential and leadership scholar James MacGregor Burns returned to the School for a conversation with our own Al Goethals.
Our faculty members continue to publish at a prolific rate, publishing four new books this semester.
The fall was packed with terrific programs, from a book talk featuring Col. Leo K. Thorsness and Dr. E. Bruce Heilman to Philippa Malmgren, an economic adviser to George W. Bush, sharing the global perspective on the financial crisis. Other outstanding events included the Mid-Atlantic Ethics Bowl hosted by Jepson and the Jepson Leadership Forum programs on the Common Good.
As we count these blessings and look forward to the new year and new semester, the faculty, students and staff at the Jepson School of Leadership Studies join me in wishing you a safe and happy holiday season.
Best wishes,
Sandra J. Peart, Dean

Greensburg Daily News
---- — GREENSBURG – Decatur County has been tentatively chosen to receive $4,324 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the county.
The selection was made by a National Board that is chaired by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from American Red Cross; Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA ; The Jewish Federations of North America, The Salvation Army; and, United Way Worldwide. The Local Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country.
A Local Board made up of government, United Way, and social service organizations will determine how the funds awarded to Decatur County are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies in the area. The Local Board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds made available under this phase of the program.
Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local agencies chosen to receive funds must: 1) be private voluntary non-profits or units of government, 2) be eligible to receive Federal funds, 3) have an accounting system, 4) practice nondiscrimination, 5) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs, and 6) if they are a private volunteer organization, have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply.
Decatur County has distributed Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds previously with Bread of Life, Human Services Inc., New Directions, and Turning Point. These agencies were responsible for providing meals, nights of lodging, rent assistance, and utility assistance.
In anticipation of this award for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds, qualifying public or private voluntary agencies are encouraged to apply. Those interested must contact Joane Cunningham, Decatur County United Fund, 108 S. Broadway, Greensburg, Indiana 47240 or call 812-663-3342 for an application.

Notwithstanding his new position atop the points table following his superb Korean Grand Prix victory, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso is adamant he is still not the F1 2010 title favourite.

Here, mentor and label boss Jonathan "J.R,."

Over the past few days I've seen a ton of Mocks and I've seen a ton of predictions (some more bold then others) so to try and maybe bring some clarity to those predictions I thought I would bring forth the following:
Who do we know the Bills brass is high on/is guaranteed to be in a Bills uniform come week 1.
Shawne Merriman - OLB, Alex Carrington - DE, Torrel Troup - True NT, Kyle Williams - NT/DL, Ryan Fitz - QB, Stevie Johnson - WR, Demetrius Bell - LT, Eric Wood - C/G, Andy Levitre - G, Cj Spiller - RB, Fred Jackson - RB, Chris Kelsay - OLB, Dwan Edwards - DE and Jairus Byrd - FS
So with that list being braught forward I thought I would kind of share some of my insight on how this translates to the draft.
Buddy wants to be a 3-4 defense regardless of whether his personnel is ready for it or not. He wants it, so hes going to make it happen. What does a dominant 3-4 need, well, it needs 4 capable LB if not good to great LBs, it needs a true NT that can eat up guards and centres and fullbacks, and it needs good coverage corners and a SS that can do just about everything.
What do we have?
Well from that list, we have maybe 1 capable if not good LB,
We have an unproven NT.
and thats it, we don't have any coverage corners, and we definatly do not have a do it all SS. So that leaves us with 6 HUGE holes to fill (CB,CB,OLB,ILB,ILB,SS) if we want to become a dominant 3-4.
We could look at the offensive side of the ball and see what it takes to become a dominant offense.
So what do you need in this league to become a dominant offense? Well you need a pretty darn good QB, a solid core of WR and a offensive line that can hold its own vs any team and you have to be able to switch game plans on a dime.
Well in place we have a good/ get the job done QB
We have 1 WR on my list but we all know we have at least 3 get r done WR
We have 3 guys on our O line in place
and we have 2 RB that can help us be either a ground and pound or a spread.
Im going to go out on a limb here, but I think this team is much closer to being a dominant offense then it is to being a dominant defense. With that said, I would figure that Buddy recognizes this and might base his draft around that accordnigly.
Now we have to take into account what Buddy has said publicly, he has came out and said this, "Ryan is our QB moving forward", "will we take a Qb in this draft? probably" "we will not be a better team in this league until we get better at stopping the run" "We need to get bigger LBs"
Now when I read these comments, it screams to me, that he will probably draft defense heavy. I understand why he would want to do that but does it make the most sense. YES and in a few short word im going to tell you why.
When Buddy took over this team he said it would take about 2 or 3 years before we became a contender. Last year he filled voids, this year he will be specific and come 2012 we should have another high pick to fill an absolute necessity and then Buddy's plan should be complete. We will have all the players that Buddy has chosen to be in certain areas and we will be on our way.
Sorry for jumping all over the place but I wanted to show that we could go a number of different ways in the draft this year, but with what we have in place and what Buddy has stated publicly it looks to me like we are going to focus solely on defense this year and let the players on our offense develop.
And last but not least, if I were making the pick and he was available I would select A.J. Green. I say this because it just goes to show you the difference of opinion between me and between you and between Buddy Nix.
But for clarity purposes I believe Buddy will draft defense heavy this year.(The whole point of my post)

A Point of View: What would Keynes do?
What would John Maynard Keynes, one of the most influential economists of the 20th Century, have made of the current economic situation, ponders philosopher John Gray.
"I can see us as water-spiders, gracefully skimming, as light and reasonable as air, the surface of the stream without any contact at all with the eddies and currents underneath."
That was how John Maynard Keynes, speaking in 1938 in a talk later published as his brilliant memoir My Early Beliefs, recalled his younger self and his friends in the Bloomsbury Group as they had been in the years before World War I.
The influential Cambridge economist has figured prominently in the anxious debates that have gone on since the crash of 2007-2008. For most of those invoking his name, he was a kind of social engineer, who urged using the power of government to lift the economy out of the devastating depression of the 30s.

That is how Keynes's disciples view him today. The fashionable cult of austerity, they warn, has forgotten Keynes's most important insight - slashing government spending when credit is scarce only plunges the economy into deeper recession.
What is needed now, they believe, is what Keynes urged in the 30s - governments must be ready to borrow more, print more money and invest in public works in order to restart growth.
But would Keynes be today what is described as a Keynesian? Would this supremely subtle and sceptical mind still believe that policies he formulated long ago - which worked well in the decades after the World War II - can solve our problems now?
The first thing to be said about Maynard Keynes is that he was an astonishingly intelligent man. Bertrand Russell, his contemporary at Cambridge, described the economist as having "the sharpest and clearest intellect" he had ever known.

Keynes had a depth of culture that few economists could claim today"
Having transformed the study of logic, Russell was himself one of the great minds of the early 20th Century. Yet when he argued with Keynes, Russell wrote, "I took my life in my hands, and I seldom emerged without feeling something of a fool."
Intimately familiar with the history of economic thought and widely read in many fields, producing a major treatise on the nature of probability alongside his famous General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money and a host of penetrating essays, Keynes had a depth of culture that few economists could claim today.
His brilliant intelligence wasn't exercised only in the realm of theory. Keynes was an outstandingly successful investor, who lost heavily in the 1929 crash, changed his investment methods and recouped his losses, growing the funds of his Cambridge college and leaving a substantial personal fortune. He had a deep understanding of the complex, unpredictable and at times insolubly difficult nature of human events.
Key(nes) facts
- John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) was educated at Eton and Cambridge University, where he studied mathematics
- He became friends with members of the Bloomsbury group of intellectuals and artists
- Keynes joined the Treasury during World War I, and in the wake of the 1919 Versailles peace treaty, published The Economic Consequences of the Peace, criticising exorbitant war reparations demanded from Germany, claiming they would harm the country's economy and could foster a desire for revenge
- During inter-war years, Keynes became a prominent arts patron
- His best-known work The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, published in 1936, made Keynes Britain's most influential economist
- Keynes led 1944 British delegation to the Bretton Woods conference in the United States, playing an important role in planning the World Bank and International Monetary Fund
But Keynes didn't start out with this understanding. As he records in his memoir, he and his friends in Cambridge and Bloomsbury believed they already knew what the good life consisted in and were sublimely confident that it could be achieved. Influenced by the Cambridge philosopher GE Moore, they thought the only things that had value in themselves were love, beauty and the pursuit of knowledge.
Some of the most bold of Moore's disciples - Keynes was one of them - ventured to suggest that pleasure might also be worth pursuing, but Moore, who was something of a puritan, would have nothing of this. Despite these disagreements, Moore's was a liberating philosophy for Keynes and his friends.
Keynes viewed his early philosophy as being entirely rational and scientific in character. Yet it was also his religion, he tells us - the faith by which he and his friends lived. And, in many ways, it was not a bad faith to live by. It armed him against idolatry of the market, which he described as "the worm that had been gnawing at the insides of modern civilisation... the over-valuation of the economic criterion". To identify the goods that can be added up in an economic calculus with the good life was for Keynes - young and old - a fundamental error. The market was made for human beings - not human beings to serve the market.
At the same time, Keynes's personal religion immunised him against the faith in central economic planning that bewitched a later generation at Cambridge. He was never tempted by the lure of collectivism, which he dismissed as "the turbid rubbish of the Red bookshop". Firmly believing that nothing had value except the experiences of individuals, he always remained a liberal.
In other respects, Keynes's early philosophy was dangerously shallow. "We were among the last of the Utopians, or meliorists as they are sometimes called", he wrote, "who believe in a continuing moral progress by virtue of which the human race already consists of reliable, rational, decent people, influenced by truth and objective standards... We were not aware that civilisation was a thin and precarious crust... only maintained by rules and conventions skilfully put across and guilefully preserved." Underlying this complacent faith in progress was a naive faith in the power of reason. Inspired by a "thin rationalism", he wrote, "We completely misunderstood human nature, including our own."
The Bloomsbury Group
Cambridge University archives have released photographs featuring the influential Bloomsbury Group, a set of English writers, philosophers, intellectuals and artists of which Keynes was part
Keynes discovered just how deluded this faith in reason was when in 1919 he attended the Versailles Peace Conference as part of the British delegation. The European continent was in ruins, and millions were hungry or actually starving. Yet the victors in World War I, who were supposed to be planning Europe's future, could not escape from squabbling among themselves and plotting revenge on a defeated Germany. In his prophetic book The Economic Consequences of the Peace, Keynes forecast a popular reaction in Germany, born of desperation and hysteria, which would "submerge civilisation itself".
We do not find ourselves today struggling with the aftermath of a catastrophic world war. Yet the situation in Europe poses risks that may be as great as they were in 1919. A deepening slump there would increase the risk of a hard landing in China - on whose growth the world has come to depend. In Europe itself, a downward spiral would energise toxic political movements - such as the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn, which won seats in parliament in the last election in Greece. Facing these dangers, Keynes's disciples insist that the only way forward is through governments stimulating the economy and returning it to growth.

Keynes's most important lesson is to let go of inherited ideas. If we cling to the panaceas of earlier times, we risk losing the civilisation we have inherited"
It's hard to imagine Keynes sharing such a simple-minded view. As he would surely recognise, the problem isn't just a deepening recession, however serious. We face a conjunction of three large events - the implosion of the debt-based finance-capitalism that developed over the past twenty years or so, a fracturing of the euro resulting from fatal faults in its design, and the ongoing shift of economic power from the west to the fast-developing countries of the east and south.
Interacting with each other, these crises have created a global crisis that old-fashioned Keynesian policies cannot deal with. Yet it's still Keynes from whom we have most to learn. Not Keynes the economic engineer, who is invoked by his disciples today. But Keynes the sceptic, who understood that markets are as prone to fits of madness as any other human institution and who tried to envisage a more intelligent variety of capitalism.
Keynes condemned Britain's return in 1925 to the gold standard, which famously he described as a barbarous relic. Would he not also condemn the determination of European governments to save the euro? Might he not think they would be better advised to begin a planned dismantlement of this primitive relic of 20th Century utopian thinking?
I suspect Keynes would be just as sceptical about the prospect of returning to growth. With our ageing populations and overhang of debt, there's little prospect of developed societies keeping up with the rapid expansion that is going on in emerging countries. Wouldn't we be better off thinking about how we can enjoy a good life in conditions of low growth?
Keynes's most important lesson is to let go of inherited ideas. If we cling to the panaceas of earlier times, we risk losing the civilisation we have inherited. This is the truly Keynesian insight that our leaders - airily floating above the dangerous undercurrents of popular feeling like the water-spiders of Bloomsbury - have yet to grasp.
Here is a selection of your comments.
An extraordinary article which fails to acknowledge Keynesian economics' significant role in the crisis the world is facing today. Gold, a barbarous relic? Oh well, if Keynes says so, that claim MUST be right. Never mind that if we'd remained on the gold standard this crisis would not (indeed, could not) have eventuated in the first instance.
Something that seems never to be mentioned in debating the pros and cons of Keynsian-style stimuli to stagnating economies is the the relative size then and now of public sector spending compared to GDP. In the early thirties in the advanced economies, this was routinely below 30%; now it is mostly 45% to 55% (France 56%) of GDP. The dangers of crowding out private sector investment anywhere above about 35% are well attested. Keynes' famous propensity to change his mind when circumstances changed would certainly have taken account of this.
"Keynes's most important lesson is to let go of inherited ideas." Absolutely, and one of those is the notion that it was Keynesian policies that "rescued" the world from the Great Depression. Not only are neo-Keynesian ideas of increasing government spending unlikely to be the panacea for today it is unclear that they were the answer in the 1930s. These policies have been tried to death in the US and each time "stimulus" ends the US economy subsides and the US is deeper in debt. As suggested, we need to consider that the sustainable rate of growth may now be much lower (or non-existent) and have to cut our cloth accordingly.
When Keynes advocated public works schemes government spending was a much smaller proportion of the economy than it is now and, in any case, it wasn't public works schemes that eventually pulled the world out of recession; it was the massive increase in government spending around the world to fight World War II. It is the size of the budget deficit and not the level of public spending that increases demand and so increases employment. Government spending increases demand with no increase in supply. If deficits were now increased by reducing taxes, in the UK most appropriately by reducing the rate of VAT to 15% or even less, this would increase demand and also supply (production). Public works schemes take far too long to take effect whereas VAT can be reduced at midnight tonight. Demand, wages and employment would pick up tomorrow.
Some universal truths remain. Austerity in the midst of a recession makes it worse. Only spending provides any hope of a recovery, and we should by now be wise to taking on ever more debt. Forget national vanity infrastructure projects that only benefit offshore multinational corporations and a handful of cheap migrant workers, what the country needs to put money back in the pockets of the public who will spend it is spending on state institutions to provide the services we need, paid for by effective tax collection from the greedy rich who are hiding £13 trillion or more from the tax authorities.
As far as I can tell Keynes had no understanding of the 'limits to growth'. As a result he did not understand why the UK economy could pick up after WWI. Coal production had been in decline since 1913, and with decreasing energy available, a decline in economic activity was inevitable. The economy only recovered after WWII with increasing imports of oil making up for the decline in coal production. We are in the same situation now. The UK's North Sea oil production is in decline and dropped by 17% last year. We are unlikely to be able to afford the necessary imports to compensate for this. We have to accept that 'growth' will not be our salvation, and redirect our economic thinking - better redistributing what wealth we do have.
The greatest lesson we can learn from our past is that one size rarely fits more than one, especially in complex social and economic situations such as this. This is a unique crisis that requires a unique solution. We need the best minds and leaders of our time to come together, and make difficult, unselfish decisions, that will serve the long-term interests of society. This is not the time for popular opinion, rather those of the qualified and wise. Politicians must listen to experts, and make tough calls even if that means losing popularity, as the right decisions today, will no doubt redeem them tomorrow. Mass society must also play their part, and accept that public spending is only sustainable if there is genuine wealth creation. Cuts are inevitable in a recession. We can't expect things to not be tough in times like this. That is not to say there should be no public spending. Public spending, and borrowing, should be aimed at growth inducing ventures such as infrastructure and new industry. Create jobs, and compensate for losses in welfare. No doubt easier said than done. That is why this is a time for great minds, not popular opinion.
It's important to remember that although Keynes said that government should run deficits in bad times he also said that governments should run surpluses in good times. How many governments ran a surplus between 2003-2008? If they had, would we be in the mess that we are?
One point that most economists, past and present, seem to miss is the fact that growth as we define it is by its very nature unsustainable. As long as we insist that consumption must continue at an ever faster pace, depleting natural resources and creating negative externalities, then soon rather than later we will be forced to slow down. Why can't economic success be measured in terms of sustainabilty, or human welfare, or even happiness! While the work of Keynes is important and does hold lessons for us, I feel we need to look deeper and for some serious long run solutions to what are ever worsening problems.

Attack on Jewish Settlement In Gaza Strip: Five Settlers Killed, Hamas Claims Responsibility; Assailant Shot Dead
A Palestinian gunman penetrated the Gaza Strip settlement of Atzmona, in the Gush Katif settlement bloc, late Thursday night and began to open fire at a pre-military training academy, killing five settlers and injuring 15 others.
Israeli soliders arrived at the scene engaged the Palestinian in a gunfight. The gunman was killed. Sources added that the Palestinian also threw several hand grenades.
According to preliminary reports, the gunman shot for around fifteen minutes before Israeli soldiers managed to engage him.
At least 15 settlers were injured, including five who sustained serious wounds.
The military wing of Hamas, Iz a Din al-Qassam, claimed responsibility for this attack. The gunman was identified as Muhammad Fathi Farahat, 19.
Earlier, a suicide bomber blew himself up Thursday afternoon in the lobby of the "Eshel Hashamron" hotel in the commericial center on the outskirts of the West Bank settlement of Ariel.
At least ten settlers were injured in the blast. One sustained serious injuries, one was moderately injured and the others were lightly injured.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine claimed responsibility for the attack. Palestinian sources identified the bomber as Shadi Muhammad Nassar, 24, from the village of Madma, located to the south of the West Bank city of Nablus.
Earlier, the Israeli police said they caught a Palestinian bomber in Jerusalem. The Palestinian, who was apparently planning an attack, reportedly set a bag or suitcase containing a large bomb in a popular cafe.
According to Israeli media reports, a massive security contingent arrived on the scene and sealed off the area, dispersing pedestrians about 200 meters from the scene of the cafe. (Albawaba.com)

First things first, let me apologize to all on the 1st round draft thread for all the negativity. I made the Licensed pessimist look optimistic. As an fyi, while I am a huge Colt fan, I have been a lifelong Browns fan for longer than I care to admit. I like most of you, have lived and died with the team, and after continual let downs, I simply boiled over.
Secondly, let me stress some positives in the draft that I missed yesterday:
We got the RB we wanted, and by all accounts, he seems to be a dynamic, elite back. Shelf life, 3 picks will all be forgotten when he leads the league in rushing next year.
The FO know Colt McCoy well and feel very comfortable that he will never develop into a starting QB, and they got a new QB more to their liking.
Finally, I like the fact that Shurmur and H&H will finally have some accountability to win, and win sooner rather than later. If Shurmur gets as much out of Weeden as a rookie, as he did from Sam Bradford – he is gone. If Breeden is not a top 10 or so QB in 2013 – H&H will be gone, and Polian or Cowher will have to turn down like $10 million large per year. Would be hard to continue to sell yourself as a QB guru – when your Browns history is to overpay for a washed up vet QB, brought in a substandard and dour number 2, spent a 3rd rounder on a guy you will trade for a 6th or 7th this weekend. Add a failure in the draft of the oldest player ever drafted and you know the story.
But I am really pissed about the age issue, and its implication on my opinion of the front office. From purely a Browns' perspective, the age is not a huge issue. They felt we needed a starting QB and they got the guy they wanted to stake their reputations to. If Weeden gives 5 good years – that will me more good years than we had since 1992, from all QBs combined.
But if are a team, and you already have a starting QB – the age issue is absolutely huge. No one would give a premium pick for a guy who will be a 29 year old rookie, and have him develop behind their starter. The QBs between our first and 2nd pick were Stafford of Det, Ben of Pit, Schaub of Hou, Rodgers of GB, Ponder of Min, Alex Smith of SF, Freeman of TB, Bradford of St.L, Luck in Ind, Flacco of Bal, and the brothers Manning. Can you seriously look at the contract situations, the talent, youth of that group and tell me with a straight face that one of those teams would have taken Weeden? Heckert could have looked in the mirror and seen the total market for Weeden in the first 2 rounds. His statement that many teams were interested is an insult to our intelligence.
There is a big difference between a scout and a GM. Scouts can afford to fall in love with guys. GMs should damn well know the draft priorities of their competition. They should know the contract commitment of all QBs in their competition. When you are trying to stop being a doormat of the NFL - you cannot make mistakes. While I don't pretend to be a draft expert, the following are suspect to me:
• Did the Browns screw up the serendipitous drop of the blue chip OL?
• Why in God's name did they not at least trade down to get Weeden? And don't tell me they couldn't – many trades made at the end of the round.
• Why in God's name did they turn the pick in without at least considering other offers?
I will let you decide if those are mistakes, but if so – they are inexcusable. I have a real hate for the "circus bearded lady picks". The LB who came from a division 5 program that went 0-13, the Christian fella with the bad mechanics. The RB who blew out his knee horribly on TV and got picked in the first round. The long snapper, and now the oldest guy ever drafted. I sincerely hope it works out – Browns fans could really use a break.

Kim Kardashian Running for Mayor of Glendale, California
Kim Kardashian Wants to Run for Mayor
Kim Kardashian is pursuing her political aspirations. For real.
In an attempt to get her name in the headlines yet again, Kardashian is adding a new wrinkle to her media exposure -- announcing her run as mayor of Glendale, California.
Read: Theraflu Makers Not Happy with Kanye West's Song
Well, in 2017, that is.
This can't be good. Or real, even, but you can watch Khloe and Kim discuss their political aspirations in this bonus video clip from Khloe & Lamar and judge for yourself.
During a visit at Khloe's, Kim notes she's buying a house in Glendale so she can run for mayor.
Kim tells Khloe, "I decided I'm going to run for the mayor of Glendale. It's going to be in like five years. So I have to buy a house there, you have to have residency there."
She even has a campaign manager!
Why does Kardashian have a plan to run for mayor? (Besides the obvious media grab?)
Glendale, with a population of 190,000, has one of the largest Armenian communities in the U.S. with "one in four people being Armenian," according to Wikipedia.
Khloe responds by saying she's going to run for mayor of Dallas.
I know I ask the obvious here, but haven't the Kardashian 15 minutes of fame run out yet?
See: Kardashian Family Photos
A Kardashian running for political office is certainly one of the signs of the apocalypse.
Anyone else suddenly feeling bad for the residents of Glendale?

3Robert Pattinson May Have Given Kristen Stewart His Grandmother's Pearl Ring
It was Kristen Stewart's 23rd birthday last week, and to celebrate, on-again boyfriend Robert Pattinson apparently decided it was a good opportunity to hand over a precious family heirloom: his grandmother's pearl ring. Apparently he didn't bother to put it in a box or leave a card or anything, he just wrapped some tissue around it and slipped it through her mailbox, which is a surefire way to get something thrown in the trash, in my books.
Anyway, here's the scoop from OK Magazine:
"Rob gave Kristen his grandmother's treasured pearl ring," a source said.
"He just casually wrapped it in tissue, put it in an envelope and slipped it into her mailbox. No note, no words, just the ring. It was a huge statement on Rob's part symbolising his full forgiveness of Kristen and his renewed trust in her future."
Pattinson also bought Stewart a number of other gifts, including a pen worth $53,000 to add to her collection.
The insider added: "There was the latest chain and bracelet set from Versace, and a Hermès silk scarf.
"He also managed to get hold of an original vinyl copy of her favorite Van Morrison song, 'Madame George'."
There are so many things to "LOL" and "WTF?" about here. First of all, a $53,000 pen? I begrudge spending $1.99 on a pack of Bics. Second of all, 'Madame George' is KStew's favourite Van Morrison song? 'Beside You' is a way better track on Astral Weeks, but to each her own, I guess.
This story is probably total bullshit anyway, and KStew doesn't really seem like the diamonds and pearls type (?D to the I to the A to the M…?), but whatever.

I can't wait till he gives her the boot.
That honestly made me laugh out loud!
I was going to say that I don't see her as the Versace and Hermes type. She'd have been happier with a ratty shirt and worn-out chucks from Goodwill.

ST. PAUL (KTTC) -- An environmental committee is urging legislators to take notice and stop the threat of invasive species.
On Wednesday, members of the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR) decided on 48 projects they believe the 2013 Minnesota legislature should invest in and there's a strong emphasis on invasive species.
More than $36.6 million would come from the Minnesota Lottery generated Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund.
Selected projects address issues facing Minnesota's land, water, fish and wildlife.
26% of the recommendations are for projects that would battle aquatic invasive species, including zebra mussels and Asian carp.
A large chunk of that money (about $8.7 million) the LCCMR wants to see go towards the new Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center at the University of Minnesota.
The center would help develop new techniques to control Asian carp and zebra mussels.
Also, another 2% would focus on terrestrial invasive species, like Emerald Ash Borer.
Recommendations will go before the 2013 legislature for consideration and approval during the legislative session beginning on January 8.
Projects that are approved will begin on July 1, 2013.
