Comparing the Living Standards of Husbands and Wives: In and Out of Marriage
This paper argues that analyzing the livings standards of husbands and wives within families is a critical challenge for researchers concerned with the valid measurement of family well-being. No major data sets provide information about significant aspects of individual family members' living standards. The family remains a "black box" because it is treated as the natural unit of analysis. The paper defines living standards, reviews examples of inter- and intra- family examples, finds these efforts guilty of methodological sexism, describes a small scale study that needs replication, and notes the importance of housework in any measures of living standards. It concludes with suggestions for two major changes in data collection efforts.

High Skill and Low Pay: The Economics of Child Care Work
In the midst of a debate over the cost and quality of child care and the appropriate public role in its provision, this paper documents the current situation of child care workers. Using available data from the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and numerous salary surverys conducted by a variety of groups across the country, it describes who child care workers are, in terms of their gender, race, age, and education; the job titles, occupations, and settings in which they work; and the wages and benefits they receive.

OPM Comparable Worth / Pay Equity Study Overstates Women's Progress In Federal Workplace
A recent report by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) contains numerous misleading conclusions about women's progress in the federal government and the impact of pay equity (also known as comparable worth) on women's future employment gains in this sector. The data the OPM report and its assessment of comparable worth/ pay equity are flawed. OPM overstates the progress of women in a few occupations and grades and ignores the continued predominance of women in low-paid, female-intensive occupations-- the exact problem that pay equity is meant to address. This paper uses data from the OPM report, and other unpublished data from the agency, to show why pay equity is still needed in the federal government.

Eat More of Your Greensby Food Network Magazine in Food Network Magazine, April 17th, 2012
Hot tips from Food Network Kitchens' Katherine Alford:
You can eat the stems of sturdy greens like Swiss chard, kale and collards. Just note that the stems take longer to cook: When you're chopping, set the stems aside so you can cook them separately, like we did for Food Network Magazine's Creamed Chard. Or start by cooking the stems, then add the leaves to the same pan.

I really like what you have acquired here, certainly like what you are saying and the way in which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still take care of to keep it wise. I can not wait to read far more from you. This is actually a great website.
Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
very nice put up, i actually love this web site, carry on it.
Good post. I be taught one thing more difficult on different blogs everyday. It would always be stimulating to read content material from different writers and follow just a little something from their store. I'd choose to use some with the content on my blog whether you don't mind. Natually I'll give you a link on your net blog. Thanks for sharing.
I've been browsing online greater than three hours as of late, yet I never discovered any interesting article like yours. It's pretty price enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the web will probably be much more helpful than ever before.

Find a Conversation
|Sun, 04-13-2003 - 4:05pm
Here's a few key points. For the full article click on the above link.
Incidentally, here are a few guidelines that will help you negotiate an enthusiastic agreement:
1. Set ground rules to make negotiations pleasant and safe: a) try to be pleasant and cheerful through your discussion of the issue, b) put safety first--do not threaten to cause pain or suffering when you negotiate, even if your spouse makes threatening remarks or if the negotiations fail, c) if you reach an impasse, stop for a while and come back to the issue later.
2. Identify the problem from the perspectives of both you and your husband. Be able to state the other spouse's position before you go on to find a solution.
3. Brainstorm solutions with abandon. Spend some time thinking of all sorts of ways to handle the problem, and don't correct each other when you hear of a plan that you don't like. You'll have a chance to do that later.
4. Choose the solution that is appealing to both of you. And if your brainstorming has not given you an answer that you can enthusiastically agree upon, go back to brainstorming.

Neil Young's Biography

Neil Young is one of rock and roll's most important, influential and enigmatic figures, an intensely reticent artist who has granted no writer access to his inner sanctum -- until now. In Shakey, Jimmy McDonough tells the whole story of Young's incredible life and career: from his childhood in Canada to the founding of folk-rock pioneers Buffalo Springfield; to the bleary conglomeration of Crazy Horse and simultaneous monstrous success of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; to the depths of the Tonight's the Night depravity and the strange changes of the Geffen years; and Young's unprecedented nineties "comeback" with Ragged Glory and Harvest Moon. No detail is spared -- not the sex, drugs, relationships, breakups, births, deaths, nor the variety of chameleon-like transformations that have enabled Young to remain one of the most revered musical forces of our time.
Shakey (the title refers to one of Young's many aliases) is not only a detailed chronicle of the rock era told through the life of one uncompromising artist, but the compelling human story of a lonely kid for whom music was the only outlet; a driven yet tortured figure who learned to control his epilepsy via "mind over matter"; an oddly passionate model train mogul who -- inspired by his own son's struggle with cerebral palsy -- became a major activist in the quest to help those with the condition.
Based on interviews with hundreds of Young's associates (many speaking freely for the first time), as well as extensive exclusive interviews with Young himself, Shakey is a story told through the interwoven voices of McDonough -- biographer, critic, historian, obsessive fan -- and the ever-cantankerous (but slyly funny) Young himself, who puts his biographer through some unforgettable paces while answering the question: Is it better to burn out than to fade away?
Jimmy McDonough is a journalist who has contributed to such publications as Variety, Film Comment, Mojo, and Spin. Perhaps best known for his Village Voices profiles of such artists as Jimmy Scott, Neil Young, and Hubert Selby, Jr., he is also the author of The Ghastly One: The Sex-Gore Netherworld of Filmmaker Andy Milligan. He lives in the Pacific Northwest.
"Most people did their best work when they were younger. Neil Young is as good as he ever was, which is quite an accomplishment.... I don't know if you could name anybody better who came out of rock & roll." -- Randy Newman
"For someone like me, who loves Neil Young's music with a deep and abiding passion … Jimmy McDonough's fat, teeming, obsessive and revelatory biography of Young is a pure shot of all-access pleasure." -- LA Times
"As the music journalist Jimmy McDonough makes clear in Shakey, his exhaustive, quarrelsome and sometimes maddening biography, it's never wise to presume to understand this complicated artist…. Fans thirsty for the melancholy hues of Neil Young will not be disappointed: He avoids lights! He drinks tequila all night long! Songs are recorded in one take! Songs are made up on the spot!…. Part of the uncanny shrewdness of Neil Young, never more apparent than in the nearly 800 pages of Shakey, is the evasion." -- The New York Times Book Review
"Inconsistent? Eccentric? You bet. McDonough's Neil Young is a reclusive loner in flannel shirt and workboots, a stubborn changeling and zing-zag wanderer whose erratic genius and pursuit of the muse has made him a potent force in popular music for 35 years at the same time as he's left lovers, business associates, friends and fellow musicians puzzled, angry and disillusioned…. The Neil Young in Shakey … is finally an impossible, even ridiculous man. Impossible to predict, impossible to categorize, impossible to unreservedly love, perhaps, but just as impossible to really hate. Even more than Sinatra, he's done it his way on the human highway." -- The Globe and Mail
"McDonough spent a decade writing his semi-authorized tome, the first three years just trying to get Young to talk. Even then it was like meeting Brando's Kurtz in a cave at the end of Apocalypse Now. McDonough, 42, has taken the trip upriver for every journalist who ever had a notion to interview Neil, and after reading the exhaustive results, I can only say better him than me…. Young comes across as a Jekyll-and-Hyde loner whose life has unfolded like a reckless chemistry experiment -- a control freak on an endless quest for the uncontrolled moment…. Displaying an obsessive zeal that matches his subject's, McDonough traces every step, and misstep, of Young's life in staggering detail. [Shakey] offers a motherlode of fascinating detail, especially about the circus of characters around Young." -- Maclean's
"The thrill of McDonough's breezy, anecdotal prose is that it sheds meaningful light into every cranny where it chooses to snoop…. With its rotating cast of characters, Shakey presents Neli Young's messy, brilliant, erratic story with humour, sadness and big, greasy dollops of truth -- a rarity in the "official biography" genre…. a worthwhile read for fan or foe alike." -- The Ottawa Citizen
"…a meticulously detailed and thoughtful book that sidesteps the sort of robotic adulation and self-censorship that often drags down rock biographies." -- The Toronto Sun
"Despite there being a virtual cottage industry in Young books in recents years, McDonough's access to the man himself, along with his tenacious research, renders [Shakey] the definitive volume. McDonough crafts an engrossing portrait of a man whose obsession and focus turned to megalomania."
–Winnipeg Free Press
"For Young, authenticity is all, and more than any previous book, Shakey shows to what extremes he is prepared to go to stay spontaneous and fresh."
–The Gazette (Montreal)
"This book is a necessity for the rabid Neil Young fan, the sort who lies around contemplating where the idea for the hand claps in the intro to Cinnamon Girl came from, or wonders what particular brand of guitar was responsible for the sound on Zuma. But any fan at all will enjoy it."
– The Calgary Herald
"…a sympathetic and understanding, yet clear-eyed and merciless biography…Young, who has always sought authenticity above refinemnt, truth over glamour, has…got the biography he deserves."
–Vancouver Sun
"Jimmy McDonough's biography of Neil Young is…passionate, urgent and thorough. Young fans, get ready to bliss out."
–NOW magazine, Toronto
"Through the different voices of friends, relatives, enemies and associates, as well as the often profane talks with the man himself, McDonough is able to provide strong, penetrating insight into a unique, complex individual."
–The Toronto Sun

AFRICA/SUDAN - Chadian troops entered in Darfur, accusing a rebel movement
Khartoum (Agenzia Fides) - The Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), one of the main rebel groups in Darfur (western Sudan) has accused Chad of having sent troops across the border and warned Chadian President Idriss Deby Itno not to get involved in the conflict between the Khartoum government and rebel groups in the region.
Chad has sponsored an agreement between a splinter group of the JEM and the Sudanese authorities. The leaders of this dissident faction, Mohamed Bashar and Suleiman Arko, however, were killed in an ambush while returning in Sudan from Chad. The JEM is accused of the ambush in Chadian territory, an accusation that the leadership of the movement rejects.
The JEM also stated that Chad has had a role in the killing in December 2011 of its leader Khalil Ibrahim. (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 15/05/2013)

Bruges ( /ˈbruːʒ/ in English; Dutch: Brugge, [ˈbrʏʝə], French: Bruges, [ˈbʁyːʒ], German: Brügge, [ˈbrʏɡə]) is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is located in the northwest of the country.
The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. It is oval-shaped and about 430 hectares in size. The area of the whole city amounts to more than 13,840 hectares, including 1,075 hectares off the coast, at Zeebrugge (meaning "Brugge aan Zee"[2] or "Bruges on Sea"[3]). The city's total population is 117,073 (1 January 2008),[4] of which around 20,000 live in the historic centre. The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 616 km² and has a total of 255,844 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008.[5]
Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam, it is sometimes referred to as "The Venice of the North".
Bruges has a significant economic importance thanks to its port. At one time, it was the "chief commercial city" of the world.[6]
The place-name Bruges is first mentioned as Bruggas, Brvggas, Brvccia in 840 - 875, then Bruciam, Bruociam in 892, Brutgis uico end 9th century, in portu Bruggensi around 1010, Bruggis in 1012, Bricge in 1037 (Anglo-Saxon chronicle), Brugensis in 1046, Brycge 1049 - 1052 (ASC), Brugias in 1072, Bruges in 1080 - 1085, Bruggas around 1084, Brugis in 1089, Brugge in 1116.[7]
Probably from Old Dutch, cf. Middle Dutch brucge, brugge (or brugghe, brigghe, bregghe, brogghe). cf. Dutch bruggehoofd "beachhead", Dutch Brug "bridge").[8] The Dutch word brug(ghe) would be variant form from the south.[9]
Ultimately from Proto-Germanic brugjō- "bridge", "harbour bridge", "veenbrug" (cf. English bridge)
Very few traces of human activity in Bruges date from the Pre-Roman Gaul era. The first fortifications were built after Julius Caesar's conquest of the Menapii in the first century BC, to protect the coastal area against pirates. The Franks took over the whole region from the Gallo-Romans around the 4th century and administered it as the Pagus Flandrensis. The Viking incursions of the ninth century prompted Baldwin I, Count of Flanders to reinforce the Roman fortifications; trade soon resumed with England and Scandinavia.
Bruges got its city charter on July 27, 1128 and new walls and canals were built. Since about 1050, gradual silting had caused the city to lose its direct access to the sea. A storm in 1134, however, re-established this access, through the creation of a natural channel at the Zwin. The new sea arm stretched all the way to Damme, a city that became the commercial outpost for Bruges.
With the reawakening of town life in the twelfth century, a wool market, a woollens weaving industry, and the market for cloth all profited from the shelter of city walls, where surpluses could be safely accumulated under the patronage of the counts of Flanders. Bruges was already included in the circuit of the Flemish cloth fairs at the beginning of the 13th century. The city's entrepreneurs reached out to make economic colonies of England and Scotland's wool-producing districts. English contacts brought Normandy grain and Gascon wines. Hanseatic ships filled the harbor, which had to be expanded beyond Damme to Sluys to accommodate the new cog-ships. In 1277, the first merchant fleet from Genoa appeared in the port of Bruges, first of the merchant colony that made Bruges the main link to the trade of the Mediterranean. This development opened not only the trade in spices from the Levant, but also advanced commercial and financial techniques and a flood of capital that soon took over the banking of Bruges. The Bourse opened in 1309 (most likely the first stock exchange in the world) and developed into the most sophisticated money market of the Low Countries in the 14th century. By the time Venetian galleys first appeared, in 1314, they were latecomers.[10]
Such wealth gave rise to social upheavals, which were for the most part harshly contained. In 1302, however, after the Bruges Matins (the nocturnal massacre of the French garrison in Bruges by the members of the local Flemish militia on 18 May 1302), the population joined forces with the Count of Flanders against the French, culminating in the victory at the Battle of the Golden Spurs, fought near Kortrijk on July 11. The statue of Jan Breydel and Pieter de Coninck, the leaders of the uprising, can still be seen on the Big Market square.
At the end of the 14th century, Bruges became one of the Four Members, along with Franc of Bruges, Ghent and Ypres. Together they formed a parliament, however they frequently quarrelled amongst themselves.[11]
In the 15th century, Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, set up court in Bruges, as well as Brussels and Lille, attracting a number of artists, bankers, and other prominent personalities from all over Europe. The weavers and spinners of Bruges were thought to be the best in the world, and the population of Bruges grew to 200,000 inhabitants at this time.[12]
The new Flemish-school, oil-painting techniques gained world renown. The first book in English ever printed was published in Bruges by William Caxton. This is also the time when Edward IV and Richard III of England spent time in exile here.
Starting around 1500, the Zwin channel, which had given the city its prosperity, also started silting. The city soon fell behind Antwerp as the economic flagship of the Low Countries. During the 17th century, the lace industry took off, and various efforts to bring back the glorious past were made. During the 1650s, the city was the base for Charles II of England and his court in exile.[13] The maritime infrastructure was modernized, and new connections with the sea were built, but without much success. Bruges became impoverished and gradually disappeared from the picture, with its population dwindling from 200,000 to 50,000 by the end of the 1800s.[12]
The symbolist novelist George Rodenbach even made the sleepy city into a character in his novel Bruges-la-Morte, meaning "Bruges-the-dead", which was adapted into Erich Wolfgang Korngold's opera, Die tote Stadt (The Dead City). In the last half of the 19th century, Bruges became one of the world's first tourist destinations attracting wealthy British and French tourists.[clarification needed] Only in the second half of the 20th century has the city started to reclaim some of its past glory. The port of Zeebrugge was built in 1907. The Germans used it for their U-boats in World War I. It was greatly expanded in the 1970s and early 1980s and has become one of Europe's most important and modern ports. International tourism has boomed, and new efforts have resulted in Bruges being designated 'European Capital of Culture' in 2002.

Many of its medieval buildings are notable, including the Church of Our Lady, whose brick spire reaches 122.3 m (401.25 ft), making it one of the world's highest brick towers/buildings. The sculpture Madonna and Child, which can be seen in the transept, is believed to be Michelangelo's only sculpture to have left Italy within his lifetime.
Bruges' most famous landmark is its 13th-century belfry, housing a municipal carillon comprising 48 bells.[15] The city still employs a full-time carillonneur, who gives free concerts on a regular basis.
Other famous buildings in Bruges include:
Bruges also has a very fine collection of medieval and early modern art, including the world-famous collection of Flemish Primitives. Various masters, such as Hans Memling and Jan van Eyck, lived and worked in Bruges.
Bridge at Bruges, (ca. 1919)
by Louis Dewis.
View of the Steenstraat with the St. Salvator's Cathedral in the background.
Part of the Markt (market square).
The Bonne-Chière windmill.
Bruges has motorway connections to all directions:
Driving within the 'egg', the historical centre enclosed by the main circle of canals in Bruges, is discouraged by traffic management schemes, including a network of one way streets. The system encourages the use of set routes leading to central car parks and direct exit routes. The car parks are convenient for the central commercial and tourist areas; they are inexpensive.
Bruges' main railway station is the focus of lines to the Belgian coast. It also provides at least hourly trains to all other major cities in Belgium, as well as to Lille, France. Further there are several regional and local trains.
The main station is also a stop for the Thalys train Paris–Brussels–Ostend.
Bus links to the centre are frequent, though the railway station is just a 10 minute walk from the main shopping streets and a 20 minute walk from the Market Square.
Plans for a north–south light rail connection through Bruges, from Zeebrugge to Lichtervelde, and a light rail connection between Bruges and Ostend are under construction.
The national Brussels Airport, one hour away by train or car, offers the best connections. The nearest airport is the Ostend-Bruges International Airport in Ostend (around 25 km from the city centre of Bruges), but it offers limited passenger transport and connections.
Bruges has an extensive web of bus lines, operated by De Lijn, providing access to the city centre and the suburbs (city lines, Dutch: stadslijnen) and to many towns and villages in the region around the city (regional lines, Dutch: streeklijnen).
In support of the municipal traffic management (see "Road" above), free public transport is available for those who park their cars in the main railway station car park.
Although a few streets are restricted, no part of Bruges is car free.
Cars are required to yield to pedestrians and cyclists. Plans have long been under way to ban cars altogether from the historic center of Bruges or to restrict traffic much more than it currently is, but these plans have yet to come to fruition. In 2005, signs were changed for the convenience of cyclists, allowing two-way cycle traffic on more streets, however car traffic has not decreased. Recent cycle fatalities have increased pressure to close bridges and further calm inner Bruges, but laws have not yet passed. Due to heavily populated suburbs, bus traffic is high on the narrow streets. This makes cycling even trickier.
Nevertheless, in common with many cities in the region, there are thousands of cyclists in the city of Bruges.
The port of Bruges is Zeebrugge (Bruges-on-Sea). It is the most modern and second biggest port of Belgium and one of the most important in Europe.[citation needed] On 6 March 1987, the British ferry MS Herald of Free Enterprise capsised after leaving the port, killing 187 people, the worst disaster involving a British civilian vessel since 1919.[16]
Bruges is traditionally the starting town for the annual Ronde van Vlaanderen cycle race, held in April and one of the biggest sporting events in Belgium.
Bruges is also a football town, represented by two teams at the top level (Belgian First Division): Club Brugge K.V. and Cercle Brugge K.S.V., both playing in the Jan Breydel Stadium (30,000 seats) in Sint-Andries. There are plans for a new stadium with about 45,000 seats in the south of the city, near the junction of the E40 and the E403.
In 2000 Bruges was one of the eight host cities for the UEFA European Football Championship, co-hosted by Belgium and its neighbour the Netherlands.
Bruges is an important centre for education in West Flanders. Next to the several common primary and secondary schools, there are a few colleges, like the KHBO (Katholieke Hogeschool Brugge-Oostende) or the HOWEST (Hogeschool West-Vlaanderen). Furthermore, the city is home to the College of Europe, a prestigious institution of postgraduate studies in European Economics, Law and Politics, and of the United Nations University Institute on Comparative Regional Integration Studies (UNU-CRIS), a Research and Training Institute of the United Nations University specialising in the comparative study of regional integration.
On principle, Bruges has to date never entered into close collaboration with twin cities. Without denying the usefulness of this schemes for towns with fewer international contacts, the main reason is that Bruges would find it difficult to choose between cities and thinks that it has enough work already with its many international contacts. Also, it was thought[who?] in Bruges that twinning was too often an occasion for city authorities and representatives to travel on public expense.
This principle resulted, in the 1950s, in Bruges refusing a jumelage with Nice and other towns, signed by a Belgian ambassador without previous consultation. In the 1970s, a Belgian consul in Oldenburg made the mayor of Bruges sign a declaration of friendship which he tried to present, in vain, as a jumelage.
The twinning between some of the former communes, merged with Bruges in 1971, were discontinued.
This does not mean that Bruges would not be interested in cooperation with others, as well in the short term as in the long run, for particular projects. Here follow a few examples.
The following people were born in Bruges:
In the 15th century, the city became the magnet for a number of prominent personalities:

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

Is it just me or does the guy in the picture look like Silvio Berlusconi? Maybe it's supposed to be him, then the women tied up in the boot would make sense; bunga bunga.
The cartoonish drawings were never part of a paid campaignbut were part of "a creative exercise by a team that was submitting for an ad competition," according to Chris Preuss,Ford (F, Fortune 500) spokesman for WPP. "They were actually posters uploaded to a website, which is where it all took off from."
One of the images depicts Silvio Berlusconi, former prime minister of Italy and a candidate in the current campaign, driving a Ford Figo with three tied-up women in the back.

Album Rating: 5.0"Also is it bad if Midnight City is my least favourite so far"
No. As I stated before, Midnight City is a bomb-ass song but there's so much more to this album than Midnight City. I love
Splendor, New Map, Wait, Klaus I Love You, Reunion, Steve McQueen, Intro, Outro, My Tears Are Becoming A Sea, and
even Reconte-Moi Un History more than Midnight City. It's very epic but needs to be listened to in the right mindset
I'm surprised that this album is only a 4. I feel it should be like a 4.3-4.4
Splendor is probably my personal favorite because of the Brand New vibe it gives off. Sounds so much like Jesse Lacey

The hotel is well located in the heart of the city, the reception is nice and secure. However, we find two cockroaches in the room. Faucets showers are unscrewed my private room was small, windowless and not soundproof. As a result, poor value for money. I found better in other cities of the same type.

Women's Retreat In Review
Thank you for praying for our women's retreat. Through our study of Moses, we were encouraged and challenged by the truth that when God calls us, He equips us and we must go with a willing heart. We had a wonderful time cooking meals together, writing letters of encouragement and serving one another, and most of all, worshiping our living God. We also got to hear stories of how God has brought light into darkness and also of sharing struggles and areas that are still in need of healing. Please continue to pray for our women.
Women's Retreat
This Friday, the women will be going on an overnight retreat. Our prayer is that as we spend time together in the Word, prayer, and in fellowship, relationships will grow deeper with Christ and with each other. Our hope is also to see reconciliation happen amongst the women as the Lord convicts and moves hearts. Please pray for our time together this weekend.
Apple picking
Though we were expecting rain, God cleared the weather for us and the Sunday School teachers had a great time with the children. Thank you for your prayers! We picked many apples and had fun rolling down hills together. So much laughter and joy, especially as we got to know the children more. We can tell that the children are breaking out of their comfort zones as we continue to build relationships with them.
Apple Picking Day!
The children will be going apple picking this coming Saturday! It will be most of our children's first time apple picking, so we are excited. Please pray against rain and that it would be a joyous time as we create new memories and fellowship in the Lord.

Your Turn, NH: Republicans need to stop listening to the conservatives
So, what does the Republican Party (my party) do now?
The first order of business should be to take the party back from the conservatives. Republicans are the minority party, and the party's success depends on appealing to independent voters and conservative Democrats. The radical Tea Party and the Rush Limbaugh/Ann Coulter faction do not appeal to these voters.
What have the conservatives done to us? The Bush/Cheney administration was a disaster and led to the presidency of a most unqualified man. The Republicans in Congress, instead of negotiating with the Democrats and presenting their own agenda, simply said "no" to any proposals. Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, should be impeached for making his legislative goal the one term presidency of Barack Obama. He failed in that goal, and he at least should be stripped of his leadership role.
Sen. McConnell should read the Constitution. The purpose of the Congress is to represent the people in governing the country. For the last four years, we have had no governing, just partisan gridlock. Is this how the Republican Party will govern, if given the opportunity? No wonder the voters rejected our party.
Why did the party allow eight uninspired and uninspiring candidates to run in the primary elections? Why did the party allow the negative campaigning that emerged? It only came back to haunt us. It made Mitt Romney a political chameleon, constantly changing positions, which led to President Obama's quote in the general election, "Governor Romney has changed positions so often we don't know what he stands for."
Gov. Romney and the Republican Party ran a terrible campaign. In June, we had a beaten President who suffered from a failed economic policy. Gov. Romney then lost control of the conversation. He attacked Obama's record, but never told us what he would do. He merely told us he had a better plan.
Gov. Romney told us he would repeal Obamacare, but he never told us what parts of the law he would keep, because even he admitted the Affordable Care Act is not all bad. Gov. Romney told us he would repeal Dodd-Frank and Sarbanes-Oxley, but he failed to tell us how he would regulate Wall Street. A casual reading of a newspaper shows that Wall Street and major banks cry out for more, and better regulation. How did social issues become such a major factor when the economy continues to fail?
The problem extended to the governor's race. The party selected a nice guy, but as Leo Durocher so famously said, nice guys finish last. Was Ovide Lamontagne picked because he waved the conservative flag? Our state Legislature has reverted to Democratic control. Is that a commentary on the way the last legislative body conducted itself? In the height of a budget crisis they found time to allow guns in the capitol building. They lowered the cigarette tax at the same time they cut higher-education spending. This is good government?
Frank Guinta lost to the most unqualified person in the election. How did that happen? Carol Shea-Porter lied about Guinta's stance on entitlements and lied to the voters that entitlements can continue as they are. No intelligent observer believes that, but the lie prevailed.
So, back to the beginning. Here's what the Republican Party, in my opinion, has to do.
On a national level, the party needs to develop an agenda. This agenda should included repeal of Obamacare, and a detailed listing of what items will be retained. The same with Dodd-Frank and Sarbanes-Oxley. The party needs to admit that regulation usually stems from abuse, and Wall Street and the nine major banks have certainly been abusive. Next is an admission that spending cuts alone won't balance the budget, accompanied by a detailed revision of the tax code. In Congress, select new leadership that will actually lead. Above all, recognize that the word compromise is not an obscenity. Our country emerged from colonialism because of compromise.
At the state level, cooperate with the Democratic governor. Yes, there will be differences, but those are to be negotiated away.
As for Carol Shea-Porter, we have twice elected an unqualified person to Congress. She is totally unqualified to manage the country. Create a committee to dog her. Make a record of each committee vote and debate. Do the same for floor debates. Attend all her public functions and make a record of the lies she tells. Develop a candidate with no baggage (Frank Guinta is not the guy). Avoid a primary fight in 2014. She will be beatable by that time.

Sir Michael Rocks - Make This Bread
Artist: Sir Michael Rocks
Producer: Reno
Album: Lap Of Lux 1.5
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 9 votes )
On Make This Bread, an "official" leak from his next project, Lap Of Lux 1.5, Sir Michael Rocks offers up an ultimatum: "Make this bread or make your bed." Judging by his success in 2012, it seems as though The Cool Kids member has heeded his own advice. In addition to joining Mac Miller on a 45-city tour, the Chicago native spent fall of 2012 sharing a stage with Pac Div on the group's West Coast run. I am no accountant, thankfully, but I am sure that all of Rocks' hard work earned him more bread than a bakery. The emcee looks to continue his success on this spacey, Reno produced cut. As the beat sways, Sir Michael craftily attacks the track with his unique sound, highlighted by his incomparable vocal delivery and laissez-faire cadence. Lap Of Lux 1.5, a revamped release of Lap of Lux, is set for a Thursday, December 6 release.

There's something different about Dancing with the Stars this season — and it's not just the stage."There's no lightning rod! No one [is] controversial, so everyone can stop freaking out!" Tom Bergeron tells TVGuide.com.Dancing's Maria Menounos: Don't call me the favoriteAfter nabbing such divisive figures as Kate Gosselin, Bristol Palin, Chaz Bono and even perceived ringers like Nicole Scherzinger in the past few seasons, executive producer Conrad Green and casting director Deena Katz went with a low-key approach for Season 14. They also had a theme: nostalgia. The new crop includes the old-school likes of ...

Kim Matula, Jack Wagner
CBS' The Bold and the Beautiful, which celebrates its 25th anniversary March 23, is daytime's youngest soap — and it's only getting younger! TV Guide Magazine spoke with exec producer-head writer Bradley Bell about the show's increasing emphasis on its twentysomething stars and what this will mean to the show's veteran players.

Jaleel White and Maria Menounos
"I'm not going out there in a thong," says soap star Jack Wagner (The Bold and the Beautiful). "Anything else, I'm good to go."
And so are 11 other stars, who will strap on their dancing shoes for the 14th season of ABC's Dancing With the Stars. Call it the Season of Nostalgia, with actors like Wagner, Melissa Gilbert (Little House on the Prairie) and Jaleel White (Urkel from Family Matters); the "Empress of Soul" Gladys Knight and tennis legend Martina Navratilova taking top billing.

The stars of daytime's No. 2 soap are about to get a big dose of reality: On September 7, CBS's The Bold and the Beautiful will start broadcasting in high definition, a development "that will take our show to a whole new look and level," exec producer Brad Bell tells TV Guide Magazine. "We knew back when we did all that CGI work on the Brookeberries story that it would have been so much better in high-def. Now we've got what we need to really move the show forward. And it's about time because, globally, you need to be high-def. It's now expected that you deliver your product that way." (B&B is the most widely seen daily drama in the world.)
Susan Flannery
The Bold and the Beautiful can be wildly goofy and trash-tastic — and we do love that! — but the CBS soap turns deadly serious for its 6,000th episode on February 7. That's when stage 4 lung-cancer patient Stephanie Forrester, played by Susan Flannery, and several actual lung-cancer survivors — including Desperate Housewives star Kathryn Joosten and Chinese opera diva Zheng Cao — will attempt an intervention to convince Nick (Jack Wagner) that he needs to deal with his addiction to cigar smoking. TV Guide Magazine got a rare chance to speak with the ultra-private, four-time Emmy winning Flannery — herself a cancer survivor — and got her take on this groundbreaking story.
Bonnie Franklin, Melanie Griffith
Looks like Betty White and Mary Tyler Moore aren't the only duo reuniting during Hot in Cleveland's second season.
Sarah Joy Brown
Will she set a Daytime Emmy record? Sarah Joy Brown is a frontrunner in the lead actress race for her role as crazy-ass mob moll — and axe victim — Claudia Zacchara on General Hospital. She already has three Emmys as GH's original Carly, one in supporting, two as younger actress. If she wins again on June 27 (9/8c, CBS), she'll be the first to score a statue in all three performance categories. The bodacious Brown is already laying the groundwork for a 2011 nod for her current role as lovelorn Agnes Jones on The Bold and the Beautiful. Expect things to amp up June 17 when Aggie, who carries a secret torch for Nick (Jack Wagner), definitively learns what she's been suspecting for weeks — that Nick's wife Bridget (Ashley Jones) is pregnant by her loverboy Owen (Brandon Beemer). And, just one episode later, Aggie blabs the news to Nick! TV Guide Magazine spoke with Brown about the fine art of hell-raising...

City school chief says he still has a lot to accomplish
MANCHESTER - Superintendent of Schools Thomas Brennan plans to pack a lot into his final semester on the job.
He doesn't have much of a choice. There is still much to do before this summer, when Brennan will step away from the job he took in 2008 when he returned to the district he left as an assistant superintendent 10 years earlier. A lot changed in his 10 years away from Manchester. Even more has during his tenure as superintendent.
"I feel good about being around here. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I think the five years has taken its toll emotionally, not only for me but for my family," Brennan said. "If I stay any longer, the baggage that I carry will always be at the forefront, whether it's earned or not."
Brennan bluntly acknowledged some in the city will be glad to see him go. Answering to a board that is chaired by the mayor of the state's largest city and school district hasn't been easy. It grew to be enough of a political tightrope that Brennan announced last July that the 2012-13 school year would be his last in Manchester. Not a lame duck
Brennan's tasks include negotiating new teacher contracts he hopes will avoid additional layoffs, getting overcrowded classrooms back within state standards and salvaging agreements with neighboring towns that pay to send students from those communities to Manchester.
"One of the goals I have is to resolve as many of these things as possible for the incoming superintendent," he said. "Some people suggested I might be a lame duck. Anyone who suggests that doesn't really know who I am."
Some have accused Brennan of lacking leadership, resulting in the loss of more than 100 staff members through layoffs and unfilled retirements over the summer. Some classrooms were filled beyond the fire code and others remain over the 30-student limit mandated by the state for core classes.
Tax cap
Brennan was also criticized for siding with Mayor Ted Gatsas, who held tight on the city tax cap through bitter negotiations and warnings that city schools were headed for trouble.
Brennan said Gatsas has told him his initial budget projections should not require more layoffs. The two plan to sit down within the next week or two to go over the numbers. Brennan is hoping Gatsas is correct.
"I may be missing something. Very few people challenge his numbers because he hasn't been proven to be wrong too often," Brennan said. "I need to sit down with him and hopefully get that 'aha' moment."
Gatsas said Brennan will continue to push.
"I think he's doing a great job," Gatsas said. "He's working at it. I think he's got some major things that he's looking at right now."
Gatsas is unlikely to have some magic number that will restore faculty levels to where they were a year ago. But Brennan remains hopeful they can find enough small fixes to lead to big results. He noted the community has also taken notice, and not just in the form of angry parents.
"We have so many assets - by that I mean the schools themselves, but also businesses and other services within the city that can really be advantaged or leveraged to help our kids along the path of education and learning," he said.
Superintendent search
Brennan said businesses have been assisting by donating things such as equipment and agreeing to continue doing so.
"I'm seeing more of that," he said. "I'm sure in part that's because of the mayor's personality and also in part that they're recognizing that something has to be done differently, not only in terms of how we educate students, but the funding situation and how they can help. I'm seeing more of a long-term commitment."
Gatsas was able to raise $25,000 from local businesses to fund the hiring of Chicago-based Proact, a specialty search firm that will narrow down the list of potential replacements for Brennan to about a dozen by March. (See related story.)
"I think we needed to go outside the city of Manchester and look for a national search firm," said Gatsas, noting he was impressed by the way Proact handled the search for a new superintendent in Portland, Maine, earlier this year.
The entire Board of School Committee will vote on the finalists and hope to have a new superintendent named by the end of March.
Some advice
Whoever it is, Brennan has some simple advice.
"Do everything in their power to work collaboratively with the board of school committee," Brennan said. "Figure out a strategy to work with them. I think that was my biggest failure in terms of my inability to work with them."
Brennan opened himself up for more criticism at a meeting earlier this month when he proposed giving 2.5 percent raises to assistant superintendents Karen Burkush, Michael Tursi and Business Administrator Karen DeFrancis - raises he assured the board the three wouldn't accept. Brennan said it was a symbolic gesture, which didn't go over well with some.
Board member Arthur Beaudry, who has often been one of Brennan's more vocal critics, felt it was wrong under the financial circumstances the district still faces.
"They had already indicated to me that they had no intention of wanting any more compensation," Brennan said. "Politically I could have not have said anything, but sometimes I think I think you need to make a statement about the value you place on the people you work with."
At age 65, Brennan isn't sure what is next for him. He thought this would be his last job, but doesn't feel ready to retire just yet.
"I think my wife would like me to slow down, but I still think I can provide some energy and work with school districts and or consulting. I'm wide open for anything," Brennan said. "It's just that it can't be here for me. But that doesn't mean I won't push until the very end."

Because they don't want a player who's putting up the same numbers, the same size, and is younger. Yeah, never! ]]> ructation
