Poietischer Realismus
Zur Novelle der Jahre 1848–1888. Stifter, Keller, Meyer, Storm
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
The novella from the Age of Realism does not represent literary reality, but literary artificiality. It is characterised by an aesthetic quality which until now has only been commented on marginally. The novellas display 'artfulness' by continuing the Romantic programme through strategies of aestheticisation of both a formal nature (e.g. framing) and a substantive kind (e.g. logical inconsistencies). ?Poetry of poetry' is taken seriously as a guideline and runs counter to the efforts of the Realists to picture reality.

Wallace N. Jensen, MACP
Wallace N. Jensen, MACP, a nationally known educator and pioneer in hematology, died March 13, 2003. He was 81 years old.
Born in Moroni, Utah, in 1921, Dr. Jensen graduated from the University of Utah School of Medicine in 1945. After an internship at Baltimore's Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1945-46, he served in the U.S. Army until 1948. He then completed a residency at the University of Utah Hospitals in 1950 and a fellowship in medicine in 1953.
In an academic career that spanned 40 years, Dr. Jensen chaired departments of medicine and taught internal medicine and hematology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine; Ohio State University College of Medicine in Columbus; George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington; Albany Medical College in Albany, N.Y.; and New York Medical College at the Metropolitan Hospital Center in New York. He retired in 1996.
Dr. Jensen was renowned for his significant contributions to hematology research. He helped develop the Westerman-Jensen needle for bone marrow biopsies in the 1950s. He also pioneered research into sickle cell anemia and was honored for his work by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
In 1967, during the first days of the space program, NASA asked Dr. Jensen to investigate the effects of space flight on blood chemistry. He also served on numerous NIH hematology study sections from 1957 to 1977.
Dr. Jensen was also very active in organized medicine. From 1975 to 1978, he chaired internal medicine's residency review committee. He also served on the board of examiners and executive committee of the American Board of Internal Medicine from 1974 to 1978, helping prepare questions for the internal medicine board certification exam.
Dr. Jensen served as a College Regent from 1975 to 1980 and Vice President in 1980-81. He was awarded College Mastership in 1982.

Apr 15, 2014Save your $$ and to choose another game to buy.
As an avid point-and-click adventure game fan, I thought I would enjoy "Moebius: Empire Rising." Unfortunately, the story is tiresome and the lack of interactive hotspots is extremely disappointing.
Where this game really fails, however, is in the technical execution. The 3D graphics and animation are some of the worst you will see in a new commercial title. This is a terrible shame, as it nearly kills the experience, and the shoddy 3D work clashes with the well-done backdrops. As others have said, the character movements are wacky and very slow; you will be screaming at the character to walk faster after playing for 20 minutes, if you are patient enough to last that long.
I don't know where Jane Jensen found this terrible Phoenix Online Studios developer or if this was the only option she had with her budget (although backers on Kickstarter DID give Jensen hundreds of thousands of dollars to make this game, and other developers have been able to do MUCH better with that much money), but I can't help but think that this game could have been salvaged by a developer able to produce work above an amateurish level.
If you are a Jane Jensen fan, you will probably be demanding that any games from her in the future be done with a different, better developer. If you aren't a Jane Jensen fan, "Moebius" won't turn you into one.… Expand
Apr 15, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll give everyone a fair spoiler warning before i begin...
I'm really disappointed with this game as a fan of Jane Jensen's previous work. Having played her excellently written Gabriel Knight series I came in to this game expecting a similar level of script writing but was surprisingly disappointed. Having been a backer on Kickstarter and playing one of the chapter as a preview, I agreed with others who made comments very early on stating that there were major fixes required for the animation which seemed to have gone completely unheard by the production staff. Walking animations and Malachi's strange standing pose as well as the fact that he seems to have boulder shoulder syndrome. Other things of note were subtle hand movements weren't paid any attention, most notably in one cutscene where a man climbs a ladder while seemingly not grabbing any of the rungs and instead appearing to become some kind of spider-like creature crawling up the ladder.
The written dialogue as well as the way in which the lines were delivered were very stilted from some of the characters, namely by Malachi himself. The fact that the 'interact' icon appears on a lot of items which cannot be interacted with until you have done something first is frustrating and looks sloppy as surely there could have been a way to hide that icon prior to the option being available? That would have saved a lot of hassles to be honest.
The story is bizarre. I mean hey, as I mentioned before I LOVED Jane's older works, played all 3 GK games and had shivers with the way Tim Currie delivered his lines especially the famous "what can you tell me about voodoo?" but here we have a very wooden delivery of a discussion about the possibility of history repeating in people? That is ridiculous. I love a good fantasy story or something that stretches the imagination but this just seems really lazy.
I was really looking forward to this game. I played the first chapter when it was released to backers as a beta test and was disappointed but was glad to see some changes were being made... but overall I am still very disappointed and kind of sad to see that in comparison to other Adventure, Point and Click games being released at the moment via Kickstarter, this is probably the lowest in quality.… Expand
Apr 15, 2014In my opinion, many backers of this Kickstarter felt tricked after learning that Phoenix Online Studios would be developing Moebius. Phoenix Online had developed a critically-panned game called The Silver Lining set in the King's Quest universe, and reportedly they were not explicitly identified as developers in the funding campaign video for Moebius. With no option for Kickstarter refunds, and already having low expectations for Phoenix Online, apparently many backers were left with little choice but to hope and have faith that Jane Jensen's writing and game design would be enough to make the game a winner.
Was it enough? No.
The character animation is embarrassingly bad and looks worse than an old Sims game. You almost have to wonder if they are embarrassed putting out this quality of work. There is also a disappointing low number of interactive hotspots in each scene, which should frustrate classic adventure game fans. The voice acting is also bad (and, at times, laughably bad), though the voice-over actor for the main character is solid.
How is the writing? Not one of Jane Jensen's better efforts. The dialogue feels unnatural and the plot, well, silly.
If someone is able to get this game for a low price, and if they aren't scared off by the Phoenix Online Studios name, then Moebius: Empire Rising could be a good candidate for "a game so bad it's funny" entertainment experience. Otherwise, people should save their money and avoid this stinker.… Expand
Apr 16, 2014Don't believe the positive reviews.
This game is poorly made with some of the ugliest animation in a game that isn't free. I'm actually surprised they are charging people for this.
It's not even fun to play and the characters move too slow. The Sierra games from 20 years ago were way better than this.
Apr 16, 2014As someone who has loved all GK games and even enjoyed Gray Matter quite a bit (my rating: 4/5), I figured Jane would be able to handle herself and so I supported this with way more than any other game. Man, was I wrong.
The alpha was quite a disappointment but I figured they might still refine it a LOT and so I wrote an extensive report on it. Unfortunately, the quality of the final product is very similar. The animation is awful pretty much all around, characters don't even look into each other's eyes and the shoulders of the main character make him look bizarrely deformed.
With a delivery like that, how can one even care about the story? It's like watching a great theater piece being performed by some hillbilly amateur group that has only started to learn about acting two weeks ago.
It just seems unprofessional through and through. Well, aside from the music. There's that.
Speaking about being unprofessional - there are even spelling mistakes in the historical data. And there are words missing sometimes. I really enjoyed reading about some guy who "was talented Italian artist". But why care about such details, as if reading about things would be important in this game...
People keep talking about the niche appeal, the low budget, etc. to try to justify the low quality of Moebius. As if adventure games "naturally" have to look like crap. So, how do explain The Book of Unwritten Tales, Gray Matter, Deponia, Machinarium, etc.?
In fact, aside from the Telltale games, I don't think I've ever seen an adventure game that looked as bad as Moebius. And even though I don't care for Telltale's art style, I still find it acceptable in comparison.
And, frankly - Jane Jensen's writing isn't that great to begin with. For crying out loud, it's mundane, somewhat cheesy mystery stuff! There's nothing innovative or meaningful to be found in there. That was the case with Gabriel Knight already. But the overall atmosphere of the games was what caused it be a great ride. Unlike Moebius.… Expand
Apr 17, 2014It would be unfair to stop at the bad graphics when discussing Moebius. Like many other point-and-click adventure fans, I can overlook the ugliness of a game if it has a good story underneath. But Moebius' bad graphics only serve to hide the bad quality of everything else. And while a small budget can excuse (to a point) its bad graphics, its ridiculous animations, its clunky interface, and its buggy gameplay, what Moebius lacks is nothing you can buy. It lacks logic, research, attention to detail, creativity, self-awareness... It basically lacks good design.
The game TELLS us that Malachi Rector is an irresistibly attractive genius antiquarian expert, but he never actually SHOWS any of these qualities. Far from being attractive, he is an intentionally off-putting character who makes contemptuous flash judgments of everyone he meets based on gender and racial stereotypes. In order to convince us he's attractive, the game has another character describe his previous sexual history. Malachi also thinks and behaves like someone of completely ordinary intelligence, and the only times when he appears out of the ordinary is when he exhibits superhuman powers, like the ability to detect if a historical artefact is genuine just by looking at it. Again, the other characters don't miss a chance to gush over how brilliant he is. As for being an expert, most of the time when he looks at artefacts he just says they are expensive. But, you guessed it, there's always another helpful character around to praise his expertise in antiques.
The other characters are barely developed stereotypes, including Malachi's sidekick David. Most woman characters (and some of the men) are stereotyped as vain, self-centered, superficial, and sexually needy (we even get a sexually frustrated librarian!), which even if you're no feminist still makes for a boring, uncreative, lazy cast.
Another thing that's barely developed is the game's premise of history repeating itself (the "Moebius Theory"). It's an afterthought, full of holes and inconsistencies, and it just seems a pretext to bring Malachi and David together. Some plot threads (the ninja attacks) are never quite explained, and don't make much sense as they happen. Malachi's entire investigation doesn't make sense either. He travels around to uncover characteristics about people (called "datapoints") that he could have found online (like "he has a sister"). Sexism strikes here too: while the men's datapoints are about their work accomplishments, the women's datapoints are about how old they married, how pretty they looked, and whether their father was rich. There's no real climax to the story, no real explanation or reveal, no real mystery even. There's nothing to spoil about Moebius' mystery plot except by saying you can't spoil it -- it's pretty much all in the trailers.
The puzzles are very easy, but sometimes take too long to slog through. None of them is particularly original or creative. There are a lot of sexist puzzles you can solve immediately by treating every woman like an airheaded sex tool. The worst puzzles in my opinion are a tile slider that reveals a nasty cartoonish drawing, and a nondescript maze with no payoff.
The music is nice.
I'd only recommend this game as "so bad it's good". It's full of unintentionally ridiculous moments because of the bad animations and the bad writing. The dialogues sound like a soap opera. The "spy" angle results in a ludicrous villain confrontation that made me laugh out loud. Foreign names are mangled. The fake accents and bad intonations are a mockery of the European languages the actors pretend they can speak. Foreign texts such as a letter or shop signs look like the output of an online translator. Maybe it would work if the game showed any self-awareness or sense of humor, but it takes itself deadly seriously. So it's just plain bad.… Expand
Apr 16, 2014Games like Moebius and other products developed by Phoenix Online Studios give adventure games a bad name. They look terrible and appear to have been developed with a bare minimum budget. This game is slow-moving, hard to get into, has ridiculous, unbelievable characters and overall terrible production values. Pros: -Some nice backgrounds. -Comedic value in ridiculously bad animation.
-Frighteningly bad animation.
-Limited gameplay.
-Requires lots of sitting and waiting while character walks at snail's pace.
Verdict: Unless you have money to throw away, don't waste it on Moebius.… Expand
Apr 17, 2014The quality of this game is abysmal.
It starts with the writing, where not much in the storyline actually makes sense, and you are better off NOT asking questions about it, or trying to analyze it. You won't get far before your brain shortcircuits.
The contrived plot and pained dialogue, that look like they had been written in a rushed span of a weekend, are wonderfully complemented by the efforts of a less than competent development team to animate it.
The result is a one of a kind creation, with a cast of exceptionally badly animated 3D characters on ok-ish 2D backgrounds, enacting a story, which if you won't forget, it's owing to its unexpectedly bad ideas.
The development studio should first and foremost concentrate on finding talented visual artists, with capabilities beyond that of mediocre amateurishness, if they seriously wish to produce computer games on a professional level.
The author should not underestimate the intelligence and taste of her prospective audience, and if she wishes to live up to her name and fame, it will need a more serious attempt, with much more effort, thought, research and care invested.
Some self-reflection is probably in order for both parts of the team.
I give a score of 2 for trying (1 for the design and 1 for its execution (pun intended)). Otherwise this is unforgivable.… Expand
Apr 16, 2014Waste of money. I played all the Gabriel Knight games, and Moebius feels like a cheaply made "fan game" in comparison.
The gameplay is such a chore. You couldn't pay me to finish this game. You can only pick up items when the game wants to let you pick them up, and you have to wait so long while the character performs these routine (and horribly animated) automatic actions. The dialogue sounds like something from a very bad b-movie, and the characters aren't at all likable. The plot (I won't give any spoilers) is like a lame wannabe Dan Brown knockoff.
After one night of this game I had enough.… Expand
Apr 29, 2014There is the glorious Gabriel Knight, than there is this cheesiest dialogues piled up on top of each other with completely illogical character behaviors. Only positivity I can take from Moebius is that it hopefully will fund a new Gabriel Knight game but if they make it as cheesy as Moebius or make Gabriel sound and talk like Malachi or Tim Curry, I can't get my hopes up for even mediocrity..
Jun 9, 2014Considering the budget that this game was made on, it is not strange that the level of polish is not as high as it is on for instance Broken Age. If you compare it to cognition for instance, it does a lot better on the art, animation and cut scene department. But, Cognition, having a much smaller budget, is a lot more enjoyable. Because if you past the low budget art/animation sequences, you are left with a fairly decent adventure game, while with Moebius, the graphics are better, but the game underneath is a lot worse.
The most frustrating part Moebius for me, is the character profiling, and character matching puzzles. The game is full of them, which makes it repetitive. They come in two forms: a: you get to judge a character based on what they are wearing, or how they are looking, and try to find some extra data while doing so, b: you try to match a character to other people's lives based on facts about their life that overlap with the other person's life. The problem with these puzzles, is that sometimes, they're horribly ambiguous. So you put in the options which you think match best, press the button to verify, and the game just goes "WRONG".... upon which you can try to revise your choices (which make less sense to you now, since you went with your best guess first time around) or you brute force the thing, which can be a LOT of work.
The overwhelming amount of these type of puzzles, and the low amount of "game world"-puzzles (just to call m something) killed this game for me. I didn't finish it, which is a shame since I was looking forward to another Jane Jensen story to play. I backed the kickstarter for this for a good amount, and was really excited about it, but I'm afraid it is a lot less fun than Cognition was, and it can't hold a candle to Jensen's earlier work like Gabriël Knight or even Gray Matter (which I really enjoyed)
For me, an adventure game is about the story, and dealing with this story. Matching arbitrary statements in tables is not part of my definition of fun, and it feels to me like the game is full of m, because there's not much else going on.
This game could have been so... soo much more.
A real shame.… Expand
May 2, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If we are to say that adventure games are separated from other genres because they are story-driven, then it's difficult to call "Moebius" an adventure game. What it is are a number of plot points without a strong connecting thread.
The central theme concerns a secret organisation that uses the titular "moebius theory" to politically manipulate the government. This plot is compelling and promise but it is dropped after act two of the game and is never addressed again. The protagonist mentions how this shadowy organisation needs to be publicly outed. He says he wants to end their political machinations, yet he does absolutely nothing to bring this about.
The game ends without a climax or denouement to tie together all of the plot threads. And a series of plot points without a resolution is not a story. It is, essentially 2/3rd of a story, seeking an ending that never comes. So I cannot give it a grade on story. Technically, "Moebius" has no story.
They designers tried to bring something new to the puzzles and some of it works. Unfortunately, the remainder of the puzzles are really straightforward and the player is never challenged. You will find no complex, intriguing puzzles that allow the player to feel a sense of accomplishment. Even the maze is ridiculously easy. If the player misses the obvious markers, any wrong turn sends the player to a dead end, so backtracking is difficult and makes it impossible to get lost. But, for all this game's ease, there were no illogical puzzles either, and that is a plus. Puzzle Grade: C+
Now, the graphics are not state of the art. The character models are clunky and move freakishly, but I didn't find this distracting. This is a kickstarter game, after all, and they didn't get enough funding to provide state of the art. I can forgive them this. Graphics Grade: C+
I was mostly pleased with the voice acting. Some of the dialog is horribly trite but the actors do their best to make it sound natural. Actor's Grade A-
The score is hit&miss. I enjoyed some of the themes but others created moods that felt unrelated to the scenes in which they played and became distracting. Music Grade B
Ultimately, the game has some compelling moments but for a $30 price tag, I can't recommend it. If you feel pity for a struggling company, or are a die-hard Jane Jensen fan, then you may find some something salvageable here and fork over the cash. For the typical adventure aficionado, I'd wait until the game hits the bargain bin.… Expand
Jul 30, 2014On this new Jane Jansen adventure game, we are taking the role of an Antique dealer Malachi Rector, a man with terrible 3D graphics.
Jul 23, 2014Moebius is not bad, but it's the weakest entry in Jane Jensen's portfolio and we have every right to demand more from her than just a decent game. [06/2014, p.70]
Jun 16, 2014Despite awkward graphics, it uses classic adventure themes to craft a mystery and a world worth exploring. [July 2014, p.72]

JERUSALEM, Israel - While Israeli leaders continue to pursue a cease-fire with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, a poll released Thursday shows a large majority in Israel is opposed to such a truce if an agreement doesn't include the release of the captive Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
Sixty-eight percent of Israelis surveyed by the Truman Institute at Hebrew University oppose a deal that doesn't include Shalit, while 30 percent support it. Half of those surveyed would oppose a cease-fire, even if an agreement included Shalit. Hamas leaders have demanded that the Shalit issue be separate from a temporary cease-fire.
The poll also showed that Israel's citizens are increasingly opposed to giving the Golan Heights to Syria in exchange for a peace agreement. Sixty-seven percent said no to a full withdrawal from the Golan Heights, while only 22 percent supported it.
In March, the university found 56 percent were opposed to ceding the Golan, indicating that attitudes have hardened since the government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced that Israel has been conducting secret negotiations with the Syrians through Turkish mediators.
Other findings in the survey reflect pessimism among both Israelis and Palestinians concerning talks between Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Sixty-eight percent of Palestinians and 55 percent of Israelis believe the talks are leading nowhere and should be stopped.
And despite a strong diplomatic push from the United States to forge an agreement for a Palestinian state by the end of the year, 69 percent of Israelis and 66 percent of Palestinians say that chances for a state in the next five years are weak or non-existent.

No. 1 on the list: DO NOT go see Tim Morgon at The Prison of Socrates.
The controlling guy was not her boyfriend for long. She and a group of her friends went to the show, and she loved it.
"Tim was the whole package," Sue said. "He had looks, personality. I thought to myself, 'God, if only I could marry someone like that.' "
A few days after they met, he asked her out to dinner at the Chinese Stage restaurant. They were married Dec. 18, 1965. Over the next five years they had two daughters, Shawn and Shannon, and a son, Ben.
• • •
The music world changed.
The British invaded. Vietnam divided homes. Coffeehouses died.
But Tim Morgon didn't change.
He sang American standards, love songs, show tunes. He didn't do protest songs. Or drugs. He wasn't Hendrix or Jim Morrison. He was more 1950s than '60s or '70s.
"I wasn't hip," Morgon said.
His longtime bassist, Spencer Hathaway, agrees. "Tim wasn't weird. He's very straight. He didn't like that Hollywood scene. He was Orange County."
Still, Morgon wanted desperately to become a multi-dimensional star.
Morgon met with writer/director Tay Garnett, who had directed "The Postman Always Rings Twice." Garnett wrote a script for Morgon and Jane Powell ("Seven Brides for Seven Brothers") in which Morgon, a surfer, saved Powell, a schoolteacher, from an international spy ring.
It sounds lame, but it also sounds Elvis.
Nikas nixed that movie deal (like he nixed at least three record deals), because he had other plans for Morgon.

Langhorne Slim's When the Sun's Gone Down is busking music composed in the grip of what sounds like a molar-rattling caffeine-and-Ritalin addiction. Said to have been recorded in "apartments in Brooklyn," it's supposed to be ruralmerry skiffle by a smiling hillbilly. Guess what? This still seems done by someone stuck in an eight-by-10 room for too long who can't tell if the sun has gone down because there are no windows in the place. "We know a lot of people in a small town," sings Slim, who's going to take his girl to his house by the beach and "thank all the ladies" because he loves to dance, dance, dance. With a voice abrasive enough to drill tooth enamel, Langhorne Slim is born for success should Chuck Barris come out of retirement.

SEPPIR: Brazil's Special Secretariat for the
Promotion of Racial Equality By Karen Juanita CarrilloMembers of Brazil's renowned
Black Movement - the country's Black Consciousness Movement - are credited with pushing for the creation of SEPPIR, the
Secretaria Especial de Políticas de Promoção da Igualdade Racial (Special Secretariat for the Promotion of Racial Equality).
"It was one of the first things President Lula's government
did," Edson Santos, the current head of SEPPIR said in an exclusive interview: "Based on the recommendations from
the Durban conference [the United Nation's World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance (WCAR), which was held in Durban, South Africa from August 31 to September 8, 2001].
Santos (right), Brazil's minister in charge of SEPPIR, explains his organizations goals with the help of his translator,

"Durban told governments
they needed to do more to promote racial equality. That spurred on the Black Movement and through their pressure they
insisted on the need to create SEPPIR."

people of African descent from Latin America and the Caribbean. The presence of Afro-Latin@s in the United States (and throughout

situated to bridge the widening social divide between Latin@s and African Americans. At the same time, their experiences reveal
pervasive racism among Latin@s and ethnocentrism among African Americans. Offering insight into Afro-Latin@ life and new ways

The View from Chocó: The Afro-Colombian past, their lives

Karen Juanita Carrillo
The View from Chocó:
The Afro-Colombian past, their lives in the present, and their hopes for the future is an introduction to the lives of
Blacks in Colombia. Afro-Colombians live in a resource-rich yet remote region of Colombia. They only recently won recognition
as one of that nation's distinct ethnic groups. But Colombia's on-going civil war has led many Afro-Colombians to reach even
farther than their nation's borders for recognition: many have made their way to the United States as refugees and as political
activists working for peace in their homeland. The View from Chocó introduces the lives and struggles of a
too-long neglected community of Colombian Blacks.

WASHINGTON – For the second time in a year, the Obama administration is giving certain employers extra time before they must offer health insurance to almost all their full-time workers.
Under new rules announced Monday by Treasury Department officials, employers with 50 to 99 workers will be given until 2016 – two years longer than originally envisioned under the Affordable Care Act – before they risk a federal penalty for not complying.
Companies with 100 workers or more are getting a different kind of one-year grace period. Instead of being required in 2015 to offer coverage to 95 percent of full-time workers, these bigger employers can avoid a fine by offering insurance to 70 percent of them next year.
How the administration would define employer requirements has been one of the biggest remaining questions about the way the 2010 health care law will work in practice – and has sparked considerable lobbying.
By providing the dual phase-ins for employers of different sizes, administration officials have sought to lighten the burden on the small share of affected employers that have not offered insurance in the past.
As word of the delays spread Monday, many across the ideological spectrum saw them as a White House effort to defuse another health care controversy before the fall midterm elections.
The new postponements won over part, but not all, of the business community. And they caught consumer advocates, usually reliable White House allies, by surprise, particularly because administration officials had already announced in July that the employer requirements would be postponed from this year until 2015.
Congressional Republicans seized on the announcement as the latest reason to scrap the health care law. In particular, they renewed their opposition to the law's requirement that most Americans have insurance, saying it is unfair to delay rules for businesses and not for individuals.
If unilateral delays were an Olympic sport, the White House would sweep the gold, silver and bronze, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., said in a statement. The White House is in full panic mode, and rather than putting politics ahead of the public, it is time for fairness for all.
Originally, the employer mandate – which affects companies employing 72 percent of all Americans – was to have gone into effect Jan. 1, at the same time the law began requiring most Americans to have health insurance.
A senior administration official, who briefed reporters on the proposal on the condition of anonymity shortly before the rule became public, said the Treasury Department decided to allow medium-size businesses more latitude because they need a little more time to adjust to providing coverage.
The law says that anyone who works 30 hours or more is a full-time employee, and it compels many employers to offer affordable insurance to those workers and their dependents. Businesses that fail to do so will eventually face a fine of up to $2,000 for each employee not offered coverage, though workers are not required to sign up for the benefits.
The National Restaurant Association, whose nearly 500,000 members were concerned because many industry employees work odd schedules and do not receive benefits, lauded the phase-in.
It's welcome news, as is anything that helps employers figure this out and gives them time to comply, said the group's director of labor and workforce policy, Michelle Neblett, who noted that many members do not yet have systems in place to keep track of worker hours.
But Joe Trauger, the National Association of Manufacturers' vice president of human resources policy, said businesses will still face massive new compliance costs under the law.
What they've released is doing what they can to make some things that are not great policy more livable, Trauger said. But at the end of the day, it's not great policy.
Under the health care law, small employers – those with fewer than 50 workers – will be allowed to buy health plans through new marketplaces created under the law.

The Importance of Employer-Employee Connection through Talent ManagementNovember 13th, 2014
Communication is the rock of smooth-sailing relationships. This is also the same with companies. Good communication with their employees aids in improving their operations and work relationships. Therefore, company leaders must connect with their employees through their talent management systems. Reasons highlighting the importance of connection include the following:
Get Both Parties' Perspective
Employers and employees are in the same company, but it's important for the former to acknowledge the big difference in perspective when it comes to business operations. Employers feed employees with their points as to how business operations work and the latter must comply with the set policies. However, this doesn't mean that the employees accept their perspective with open arms. Some often resist their employers' operational procedures and result to misunderstandings that prevent employees from being productive. Establishing connection lets employers listen to their employees' perspectives. This opens an opportunity to know where employees are coming from and understand them better. Promoting mutual understanding about business operations by listening to both parties' points is better compared to employers using their authority to force their ideas on their employees.
Have an Idea about Employees' Leadership Expectations
Employees look up to their leaders, but most find themselves disappointed upon working under these individuals. Most will lose respect and even resist cooperating with their leaders. Connection established through talent management informs employers of workers' expectations on their leaders. This is also a chance to receive feedback and see if the assigned leaders are effective or not. Employers will also have a clearer picture of leadership strategies that work for employees and their teams.
Meet Career Advancement Needs
Going up the career ladder is considered as an instinct among employees. They want to be promoted and rake more income if possible through their positions. Employee management systems give employers an idea about their employees' career goals. Employees will have the chance to introduce themselves better to their managers through interviews and surveys. They may receive other tests or assessments that may be useful for discovering new talents. This is then a chance for employees to show their abilities and be noticed. Candidates will be narrowed down and the best ones will receive promotions once positions are available.
Promote Productivity
Connecting well with workers guarantees productivity among teams. Most of the time, employees feel underappreciated in the company and result to absenteeism or inefficiency. Knowing that managers listen their talents serves as a confidence boost and motivates employees to do well in their jobs. Talent management makes this possible with various communication means integrated with the system.
Retain Employees
High employee turnover is not only inefficient for employers, but also expensive due to the onboarding procedures new hires have to undergo like training and document processing. Managing talents will help companies minimize turnovers and retain employees, especially the talented ones who will be of help for the company. Employee management helps companies gain insight from their employees and meet their expectations to keep them working in the same company for a long time.
Build Employer-Employee Trust
Trust is crucial in every relationship, which is very important for businesses. When an employee trusts a company, he will be an efficient worker with great contributions to the company. On the other hand, an employer who trusts his employees will be confident that success is on its way because he knew that everyone is working in the same goal. Talent management gives way to employer-employee trust, which means harmonious business operations.
Talent management is indeed a good tool in establishing communication between employees. Simple connection opens a good opportunity for the company to improve both business protocols and relationship with employees.

Star PowerSubmitted by Number Six on Mon, 12/17/2007 - 12:44
No, I am not Patrick McGoohan. However, I do have some thoughts that I would like to share with the readers here.
Obama has Oprah Winfrey. Huckabee has Chuck Norris. Other candidates may have other celebrities endorsing them, also.
Those candidates are drawing on celebrity star power. The candidate in question receives a lot of MSM (LSM!) and consequent exposure by virtue of the celebrity endorsement. Since Doctor Paul can lay legitimate claim to being a Six Million Dollar Man, I do not think that it is unreasonable to evaluate the potential that Star Power could assist in the effort to get Doctor Paul elected to the presidency of these united States.
Regretably, with the passing of Aaron Russo, this idea may have less chance of coming to fruition. Nevertheless, it's got to be said and put out there for consideration.
If there is anyone on these forums that is intimate with the Hollywood elite, I hope they can pick up the ball and run with it. Maybe somebody knows somebody in Hollywood and can put a bug in their ear. Whatever. If such people are out there, I would submit that the iron is getting pretty hot, and it needs to be struck.
Insofar as celebrities are concerned, a few come to my mind:
1. Patrick McGoohan, of course. The Prisoner. Who is Number One? If you don't have the series, get it.
2. Clint Eastwood. His name has been batted around often enough, perhaps he could step up to the plate with an endorsement.
3. Tom Selleck. Hey, he was in Midway.
4. Neal Peart. Not an actor. Not American. Nevertheless, this Canadian plays the skins better than Buddy Rich, and he's a lyricist. Check out Rush's album 2112. Beauty.
I'm sure bunches of folks will think of bazillions of other celebrities that we would all love to endorse Ron Paul. Well, if you can make it work, have at it! Don't be a pesky or anything, but if gentle persuasion can get such people to come out and say, "Vote for Ron Paul! He is The Man!", then have at it.
I don't have any influence over such people. Maybe you do. Hell, if they just read and listen to Ron Paul---well, it'd be like, "Shut up and play your guitar!" Let the music do the talking.
Just my thoughts. I sincerely pray for the safety and good health of Dr. Paul and his family, plus the folks doing the heavy lifting on his staff. God Bless.
The DP is proof that the grassroots support for Ron Paul and his peaceful message of individual liberty is large, real, and not going away!
we already have a few "celebrity" endorsements. Possibly some of them could come out after the CA debates or after Maine, just before Super Tuesday? A political endorsement, like a governor or senators should actually mean more, but alas many Americans like that others "think" for them, not themselves.
Apart from religious figures there are a few well know public figures like Robert Kiyosaki and his wife Kim that have Ron Paul on their myspace as friend that could officially endorse Ron paul at a strategic time. The timing of endorsement also play an important role! Many people should be aware of the author of Rich Dad Poor Dada etc.
Also: Huck has Churck Norris and McCain has Satallone now, but we have Ronbot (see hilarious pic on ronpaulwarroom , a class act drawing :-)
AND two WWE like Jacobs (Kane). During the last FL debate McCain and Huck made reference to their celebrity support. Ron Paul could say - on a lighter note - that he wil send Kane over to take care of both Norris and Stallone at the same time! (one in one hand and other in the other).
Kane is a HUGE guy !
Jacobs is a big man I recall
Jacobs is a big man I recall him following Paul around some building and ducking doorways that he was completely filling.
Just to drop a name... Charlton Heston? Mr. "from my cold dead hands!"
"But, indeed, no private person has a right to complain, by suit in court, on the ground of a breach of the Constitution. The Constitution it is true, is a compact, but he is not a party to it."
Bono from U2 needs to do a concert for Ron Paul! Done deal!
I love U2
but Bono knows Dr. Paul wouldn't give him millions of dollars in foreign aid relief so he'll probably lean Obama's way. I would pay $250 a ticket to see that show! So long as the money went to CFL or RP candidate.
How about Viggo Mortensen?
How about Viggo Mortensen? He's against militarism and U.S. foreign policy. He publicly supported Dennis Kucinich but since Dennis has dropped out maybe he can become a Ron Paul supporter.
Good call
Good call
"But, indeed, no private person has a right to complain, by suit in court, on the ground of a breach of the Constitution. The Constitution it is true, is a compact, but he is not a party to it."
Set up committee
We should set up a committee to start mailing or emailing every single libertarian on that list to ask them to endorse. Some might already be on his main site. Would need to check that first. Got any committee chairmen here???
1/30 is the CNN debate in CA. We have submitted and
voted up 5 grassroots questions that we want as the top 5 most popular questions.
We have #1 and #2 in place but need help with pushing the 3 remaining questions. Tonight is the big push to make this happen so please help out.
Details are here
It only takes 2 minutes for these. You dont even need to register on the site.
We've put in over 100 hours of work to make this happen. Please Please help push the remaining questions to the top. Only the grassroots can make this happen.
This is a call for help. A call for action.
Many Thanks
For Ron Paul!
Selleck is my favorite actor--whatcha' talkin' bout.
I've been saying this for months. Let's find that person. Maybe in the country music faction.
They are laying in wait. If we build it they will come. After super Tuesday we will be only half way there.
Mathew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Penn Jillette
I saw Penn Jillette on Glen Beck the other day, and he was singing Ron Paul's song. I really wish he would come out and support RP.
He really should get endorsements from the Cato Institute as a whole, seeing as how he is the only candidate that practices what they (Cato) preaches.
Research your groups first.
Some are not who they say they are!
Look at the founders and what they've tried to do.
The current Cato ideology
The current Cato ideology actually differs from Dr. Paul as to how to run the economy. In fact, they seem diametrically opposed.
Strange huh?
Also decries that he isn't for open borders or abortions.

Timothy Leary is dead
Maybe we should just take an example from the politics of the common people in the 1960's There were a lot of people milling around in protest of the then war--- and even though a lot of them did nothing to show it, they simply fell out of the work force and refused to do anything---at all. There were huge groups of people clogging the arteries of American cities merely with their presence and eventually their message....now I'm not saying quit your job and start smoking crack, but I think all of us in numbers could do great things---even without star power. Where are the revolutionaries? Are we all just scared or lazy?
Can we claim him as ours from beyond with a video and parallel thoughts???

Live Free Or Die There is a
Live Free Or Die
There is a huge star who has been bitten by Empire. The red headed stranger, Willie Nelson. He'd be a natural.
Live Free Or Die
Willie Nelson is a Democrat, but that shouldn't stop him!
Willie Nelson was a strong supporter of Dennis Kucinich...he was helping Dennis protest a ballot-access issue here in Texas. I don't think that excludes Willie from a RP endorsement, but I would not expect Willie to cross over so quickly after Dennis' departure. Who knows?
There is an error in bullet point 4.
Neil Peart is a great lyricist, and a fantastic drummer, but in all honesty he cannot even shine Buddy Rich's shoes. You can prefer Neil's particular "style" to Buddy's but to say Neil is better on technical ability is a huge error.
But you have to see it, to believe it: Watch Buddy in a dazzling display of speed and technical ability, the most amazing left hand in all of drumming I'm convinced, past, present, and future.
Neil refers to Buddy as, the consummate master. In fact, Buddy Rich is about the only drummer who was able to hypnotize even non-drummers into standing back in awe of his natural talent.
The man did not own a drum set. He only practiced when he played with his bands. His practices, were his live performances. LOL.
Have to agree about Rich v. Peart
Buddy Rich was the ultimate drummer. Neil Peart is the ultimate drummer/percussionist of our era, but not as talented as Buddy Rich...or even Gene Krupa. Don't get me wrong. I am a major fan of Rush (the band). Neil Peart and Jaki Liebzeit (deceased, from the band 'CAN') are modern-day drumming masters...unless you want to include Animal from the Muppets!

List of Celebrity Libertarians.....
Angelina Jolie
Has an official 'ambassador seat' with the CFR!!!! She is not libertarian,except maybe for 'herself' and 'her own life'.
How many people in power are like that,anyway????
Anyway,she is also a UN-bot,as well.
You can google 'celebrity libertarians' and come up with a list.
Drew Carey is on the list.
Charlie Sheen came out on 9/11-but I hear he's an insider of the kind that would not support RP.
Bill Maher?
Celebrity endorsement,ironically,is top-down,and sheeple oriented.
Celebrity attention would help,however.
When will you people start
When will you people start to imagine they "we" may have people on the inside? Not everyone within the system is our "enemy".
...so much for that
I didn't know about the CFR thing (God, they're everywhere). Well, I naively wanted to believe the best about her.
Ted Nugent is still pretty good, huh? : )
Matt Damon,Ben Affleck,Mel Gibson,Sylvester Stallone,Jay Leno
Where ya at guys?
It's safe now to make you're endorsements! ;} )

Still from 1960s Volkswagen TV ad
When the fifth season of Mad Men premiered in Britain this week, the show aired with original ads from the 1960s, the time period in which the show is set. Top Gear.com was impressed by what it called "two classic examples of car advertising."
The first was for the Citroen DS and highlighted the car's directional headlights, which, "even now is only an option from the best manufacturers," wrote Top Gear, remarking, "In 1968 they must have seemed like space lasers."
The second ad is for VW, "ruthlessly and hilariously dedicated to proving how expensive American cars were":
• Last week we reported on the world record that was set for most cars doing simultaneous donuts – that was 75 twirling, smoking, autos burning lots of rubber in Sonoma County, California. One of our readers who was there posted a comment here, saying that he had much better video of the event – because he himself shot and edited it. A big thanks to Joe Tardiff for alerting us – and for making the video in the first place. Not only are there shots from every angle and perspective, including some with a driver's eye view, but it's skillfully edited – and it's got really dramatic music. Watch and enjoy:
• Did you know that there's a Top Gear Philippines magazine? This week it came out with its first-ever Geek Issue. Don't believe us? Here's the cover:
• Most people want their cars to be seen (or driven) and not heard. Not Yorkshire composer Mark Marrington, who has composed a piece of music entirely from car noises. He describes "Cars" as "dance music with a vehicular twist." Take a listen:
Catchy, isn't it?
• Speaking of music…As anyone who's ever listened to a car radio knows, there are certain songs seem to have been written to be played in a car, as you're whizzing down the highway. In fact, we're convinced that one of the reasons the car was invented was to pave the way for the writing of certain songs and entire genres of music. Top Gear is compiling a list of best driving songs to put onto a CD – and they want your suggestions, which you can offer up on their Top Gear CD Facebook page. But, by all means, leave them here as well – we'd love to hear what they are.
What are your favorite driving songs?
