On April 11, Maynard Ferguson visited
East Tennessee State University (ETSU) to perform a master class
and concert that evening as featured artist at the Tri-Cities Jazz
Fest, under the direction of Dr. David Champouillon.
Mr. Ferguson will turn 75 in May and is still going strong. His
clinic included working with the ETSU Jazz Ensemble and an attentive
audience of over 100 trumpet lovers. He was introduced by the band
playing his signature tune, Blue Birdland, a show of respect for
his accomplishments which was well received judging by the radiant
smile on Ferguson's face. Also presenting the master class were
several members of Ferguson's band, including trumpeters Patrick
Hession and Kevin Meads. The clinic focused on basic brass breathing
fundamentals, daily practice skills, stylistic concerns and different
uses of the piece. Justin Stanton, a sophomore trumpet major, performed
Blue Bossa for Ferguson and received coaching on his soloing. Ferguson
suggested that to also have experience as a lead player would be
a positive influence on soloing. The rest of the class consisted
of Ferguson answering questions from the audience, on topics ranging
from horn and mouthpiece choices to personal and professional stories
from his career. Ferguson also emphasized the need to maintain healthy
teeth, having had some playing problems with this in the last year.
He explained that his dentist had corrected the problem and he was
now playing as strongly as ever. That night's concert proved him
The ETSU Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of David Champouillon,
opened with a 30-minute set. Ferguson and his Big Bop Nouveau Band
then took the stage then for 75 minutes that left no listener unsatisfied,
constantly bringing the crowd of more than 800 to its feet, shouting
its approval. Tunes included outstanding arrangements of I Want
To Be Happy, The Girl From Impanema, and I'm Old Fashioned, each
selection thrilling the audience with Ferguson's playing (still
soaring constantly above high G), ample space for each soloist,
and good old-fashioned "strong-as-a-horse lead playing"
from Patrick Hession. Trumpet Larry Foyen, a New Orleans native,
performed numerous well-paced and exciting jazz solos throughout
the night. Trumpeter Kevin Meads provided the intangibles to any
fine trumpet section, including stints as lead. The concert was
completed with a 15-minute medley of signature Ferguson tunes including
MacArthur Park, Hey Jude, Give It One, Don't Let the Sun Go Down
On Me, and Chameleon.. The medley evoked many memories of prior
concerts as the trumpet section went out into the crowd for Hey
Jude, playing the melody up the octave alone and in unison. Additionally,
they all came to the front to perform the Chameleon melody up the
octave in unison, again reminding concert listeners of scenes from
earlier Maynard concerts. Hession's lead playing should be noted,
as not only did he play lead for a strenuous 60 minutes, but then
performed all of the original Ferguson parts in the medley. It was
a testament to Ferguson's ability to feature his band members, allowing
them to share the large spotlight that constantly follows his playing.
Ferguson and the band were the perfect role models for aspiring
and professional musicians alike - courteous, gracious, patient,
enthusiastic, and talented. After the concert the evening closed
with an All-Star jam session, in the lobby of the Meadowview Marriott
Convention Center, with Ferguson's band members and other artists
at the festival.

Truth. I tried one on at Project No 8 a couple weeks ago and was really impressed.
The white sku in particular was gorgeous in person. Not sure how it would age though.
Why would I? I actually am not a huge fan of the lows, although I own a couple of pairs - they look sometimes a bit "blobby" to me, and the highs are just a bit too techy. But I actually like the much maligned mids. I find them more interesting, and jeans fall on a cool way on them. Got these ones:
It's an ouroboros! Halp!

have you ever worn clothes before? have you ever been in a rainstorm? stop posting stupid shit. you clearly don't know that much about clothing, and that's fine, but your smug dismissal of everything that's outside of your boring aesthetic is really grating, especially considering how obviously ignorant you are.

i actually just saw them for the first time at IF and was also impressed. everything about it looked good. don't know if I'd ever actually buy one because other than shoes I don't have rain-specific clothing (umbrella does the job), but maybe that's just me.
Not gonna lie. I think that this was actually a pretty good job of subverting Ann Demeulemeester, which I like. I mean, take away the shades and the knit, and tuck in the shirt, and it's just Ann D. But they've #mensweared it up in a pretty clever way, without messing with the original intent and fit of the Ann Demeulemeester pieces. Subverting the "subversive" is always cool to me. I want to see a MA+ Aviator, worn with some bootcut jeans, but in a way that makes sense.
I got them on sale, and then an extra 25% off coupon. $260 and change. So, about 50% of retail (depending on the store)
I'm about to order some organic pink jeans dyed with real shellac, who here has the audacity to wear such a fashion forward piece in public? Not sure even I do but I'm going to try.

Car Sharing Might Destroy the Auto Market
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Car sharing has moved beyond the "phenomenon" stage and into possibly historical territoriy -- becoming slayer of the U.S. urban auto market.
Recent data from Navigant Research says the car sharing market should grow from 2.3 million consumers last year to more than 12 million by 2020, especially as more larger, deep-pocketed service companies the market.
"Car sharing offers consumers the ability to enjoy mobility without the expense and hassle of owning a car, or the need to frequently rent a vehicle from a traditional car rental agency," says Lisa Jerram, senior research analyst with Navigant. "In addition, car sharing is viewed by both public and private entities as a powerful tool to reduce urban congestion and [bring] lower emissions of greenhouse gases."
Car sharing lets non-vehicle owners rent vehicles either directly through a provider or through a peer-to-peer network for an hour for a day or for a weekend.Alix Partners, a global business advisory firm, says in a study released Wednesday that car sharing services will "have a greater impact than previously thought on the vehicle market." The study, which canvassed 1,000 customers in 10 major U.S. cities, reports that car sharing in those markets are displacing vehicle purchases at a rate of 32 to 1. That's twice as much as researchers previously thought, and it's a gap that will narrow as more car sharing vehicles hit the market. To date, car sharing services have cut about 500,000 new vehicle purchases, and that number should rise to 1.2 million by 2020, Alix says.

Upper, Lower Wacker Drive reopen after 2 years of work
BY TINA SFONDELES Transportation Reporter email@example.com December 1, 2012 1:38AM
Article Extras
Updated: December 1, 2012 5:24PM
Chicago cabdriver James Adegbite couldn't wait for Friday's evening rush.
That's not something you hear every day from someone often caught in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
But Adegbite's wish to cruise down a reconstructed Lower Wacker Drive for the first time in 2-1/2 years came a bit sooner than that, as the city opened it to traffic about 2 p.m.
"Everybody should be excited because it's been closed for such a long time," Adegbite said. "It's a shortcut not necessarily just for cab drivers. It's just a very good one."
Lower Wacker Drive had been closed since April 2010, when crews began the biggest upgrade to the lower viaduct since it was built in the 1950s.
More than 60,000 vehicles use both Wacker Drive and Lower Wacker Drive every day.
Drivers on Lower Wacker will notice better lighting, a higher ceiling, giant exhaust fans that will provide better ventilation and separate lanes for service vehicles that use the road, along with signalized intersections. And Lower Wacker now features an underground ramp that offers more space for drivers merging onto Congress Parkway.
Earlier Friday, the intersection at Wacker and Van Buren was reopened for the first time since it closed for demolition and reconstruction in July, allowing drivers and pedestrians the freedom to move along all of Upper Wacker.
For mass transit riders, the two years of CTA bus re-routes are almost over, except for four buses which will resume normal routing on Monday. Those include the No. 11 Lincoln/Sedgwick, No. 120 Ogilvie/Wacker Express, No. 121 Union/Wacker Express and No. 32 Goose Island Express.
Web developer Maria Delgado's bus route was in constant flux during construction.
"My bus [No.11] was affected for the whole time construction was going on," Delgado, 27, said. "It kept on making different turns."
Her co-worker Shane Stiles joked he'll no longer have an excuse of being late for a meeting.
"I take the train to work, but I walk back-and-forth between the buildings on Wacker, and even walking or trying to get to a cab to a meeting, It was just a pain to find the moving targets and trying to make sure you could get around to be on time," Stiles said.
"Oh, we're definitely happy it's over," he said.
The massive $303 million project began in April 2010 and came in $47 million under budget, officials said in November. It included reconstructing Upper and Lower Wacker Drive from Randolph to Congress, and reconfiguring the Congress Parkway interchange. The east-west section of Wacker Drive from Michigan to Randolph was renovated in a $223 million project in 2001-2002.
The project supported and created 3,100 jobs, Gov. Pat Quinn's office said. Eighty percent of the project, $240 million, was reimbursed by the federal government, while $60 million came from the State of Illinois Jump Start program and $3 million came from the City of Chicago.

3rd time not charm for Memphis
Ollie has it figured out (with video)
|Memphis guard Joe Jackson (1) drives against Connecticut guard Ryan Boatright (11) during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game in the quarterfinals of the American Athletic Conference men's tournament Thursday, March 13, 2014, in Memphis, Tenn. (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey)
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Kevin Ollie is not one of those guys who buys into the theory that it is difficult to beat the same team three times in one season. All those years playing teams multiple times per year in the NBA cured him of any of that.
The only theory the UConn coach buys is that every game is different. The Huskies proved that against Memphis during the regular season, shooting a ridiculous 57 percent at FedExForum in January to win and then shooting just 39 percent in an overtime win against the Tigers at the XL Center last month.
Thursday night's game between the teams at FedExForum between the two in the American Athletic Conference Tournament was nothing more than a third meeting.
"They know us and we know them," Ollie said. "We played two totally different games and won both. All I expect is our team to play hard and play with effort."
They certainly did, beating Memphis easily, 72-53.
There is not much evidence to prove that beating one team three times in the same season is difficult. It really depends on matchups as Louisville showed in beating Rutgers by 61 points Thursday afternoon. The Cardinals beat the Scarlet Knights three times by an average of 38.7 points. Louisville is good, Rutgers is not.
UConn last beat a team three times in one season in 2004-05, toppling Georgetown in the trio of meetings. Since then, the Huskies have only played a team three times in one year on four occasions, three of those against Syracuse.
The bigger issue for the Huskies on Thursday night was the venue. FedExForum is Memphis' home court. The Tigers had won 15 straight postseason games played in the building. They entered the game having gone 24-2 with seven titles in their last nine conference tourneys, all in Conference USA and most of those games having been played at FedExForum.
Revenge time?: Cincinnati guard Sean Kilpatrick was clearly unhappy about not winning the league Player of the Year honor that went to Shabazz Napier. Kilpatrick promised to take out his anger on the rest of the tournament field.
A UConn win Thursday night would have given Kilpatrick the chance for revenge against Napier. Kilpatrick scored 20 to start his anger management tour in the Bearcats' 61-58 victory over Central Florida.
UConn split two games with No. 13 Cincinnati during the regular season, winning at the XL Center and losing at Cincinnati. Memphis lost both regular-season games against the Bearcats (27-5).
Oddities: UConn's Niels Giffey is on pace to set the single-season mark for 3-point field goal percentage. He entered Thursday night shooting 50 percent (44 for 88) from 3-point range. Albert Mouring holds the mark, hitting 47.8 percent of his attempts in the 1999-2000 season.
But it is a comparitive record. Mouring took far more shots that season (180) from long range than Giffey has taken.
Napier is on track to become the shortest player ever to lead UConn in rebounding in a season. The 6-foot-1 Napier entered Thursday averaging 6.0 rebounds, just 0.4 ahead of DeAndre Daniels. The shortest player to ever lead the Huskies in rebounding was 6-4 William Ebel, who pulled down nine rebounds per game in the 1950-51 season. The Huskies haven't been led in rebounding by a player shorter than 6-7 since 6-5 Waterbury legend Tony Hanson averaged 10.5 rebounds in the 1976-77 campaign.
Power outage: SMU is probably in the NCAA Tournament, but it didn't do itself any favors Thursday by losing to Houston in its first AAC tourney game.
The Mustangs were looking at a low NCAA seed to start with because of their bad non-conference schedule. Losing to Houston will almost assuredly bump them even lower. SMU has lost three in a row. The first two of those came against Louisville and Memphis, but a three-game losing streak is not the way you want to enter the NCAA Tournament.
"I'm not thinking about that," SMU coach Larry Brown said. "I don't think anybody is going to look at a Louisville or a Memphis loss and be worried, but I kinda had it in my gut what was going to happen today."
SMU guard Nic Moore, who leads the team in scoring, was held without a field goal for the first time this season.

At the lunch recently in Kakata, Margibi County, Maryland County Senator John Ballout said the forum (LEGISLATIVE SPOTLIGHT) is a realization of a part of a long time Legislative Modernization Plan (LMP) deliberately envisioned by the Legislature to raise the august body on pile with other legislative bodies around the World.
Ballout told an audience of 30 rural community radio managers and hundreds of Margibians that the SPOTLIGHT as envisioned, will create a platform for Legislators and their constituents to interact in ways that link both the legislators and the people.
He challenged the implementor of the project, the LMDI and its community radio partners to ensure a scrupulous roll out that will allow for broader participation of lawmakers on the radio shows.
Earlier, Senators Clarice Jah and Oscar Cooper- all of Margibi County certificated 30 rural community radios on behalf of the Liberia Media for Democratic Initiatives (LMDI) for continuous partnership and collaboration in democracy related work.
LMDI Director John Kollie, in comments, described the rural community radios as strategically vital to the work of his organization. Kollie said the LMDI cherishes the continuous support of rural community radios.
The Country Director of the NDI for International Affairs in Liberia, Aubrey McCutcheon called on the rural community radio managers to use the LEGISLATIVE SPOTLIGHT to constructively engage lawmakers across Liberia, and urged the hundreds of Margibians and Liberians in general to listen to the set of radio programs and to ask what he called hard questions needing the right answers.
The Kakata Launch of the NDI/LMDI radio program project also saw the presentation of the debut edition of the media and community outreach blend of the project named and styled LEGISLATIVE SPOTLIGHT ON THE DIALOGUE.
On the first edition, five lawmakers, Senators Clarice Jah and Oscar Cooper of Margibi County, John Ballout of Maryland County and Representatives, Matonekay Tingbah and Sam Kogah presented views on the topic, "the Sensitivity of Rural Liberia in the Fiscal 2012-13 National Budget".
The LEGISLATIVE SPOTLIGHT is working to increase public awareness on the 53rd Legislature and establish a link between the lawmakers and their constituents and the LMDI is producing and broadcasting the LEGISLATIVE SPOTLIGHT radio programs across Liberia on 31 of its National and Rural Community partner Network of 45 electronic media outlets.

"Really enjoyed it, but found the meaty part a bit bland. I think I'll either throw garlic, worcestershire, or BBQ sauce in next time, and that might bring it up to the 5-star rating. Definitely adding it to my recipe book! Thanks HeatherFeather!"
"Great flavour with the spices! I'm going to try doing it as a crisp, too. You could even do the filling alone and serve it in parfait glasses with whipped cream or ice cream on top. Excellent!"
"Super easy, and the one I made looked like it was from the pages of Bon Appetit! Absolutely beautiful results, and impressed the dinner guests. I can't imagine it working well with a graham crust, but it worked perfectly with my regular pie crust. Thanks Sharlene!"
"We love it! The key is to stir it up 3 or 4 times during roasting to get nice caramelization."
"Fabulous! This has become a special occasion staple. Simple to make, yet elegant. We also use port instead of dry red wine. Thanks ratherbeswimmin'!"
"Excellent and simple way to use up a huge end-of-summer harvest of chard. Like the others, I also added some sliced fresh garlic. Thanks Shirl!"
"Fantastic! Just like the kind I order at my favourite Szechuan restaurant. Thank you for posting!"
"This was a big hit this Thanksgiving, and will now become my "official" Holiday stuffing. The only change I made was adding 2 to 3 times the recommended amount of mixed herbs (I used fresh rosemary and sage)."

Rehydration and structure of reconstituted casein micelles
Principal Investigators: Don McMahon, Utah State University
Project Summary:
Synthesis of casein supramolecules in the mammary gland rely on a controlled synergy between two concomitant aggregation processes. Calcium phosphate is formed into clusters because of its low solubility, and caseins are simultaneously undergoing polymerization because of their calcium sensitivity and hydrophobic nature. Precipitation of calcium phosphate is limited to formation of nanoclusters by binding of caseins via their phosphoserine side chains, and the polymerization of the caseins is limited to colloidal size by the chain-terminating influence of k-casein. The irregular supramolecular structure for the colloidal casein particles in milk, supports an open structure in which different caseins can attach to calcium phosphate nanoclusters preventing calcium phosphate crystallization in the mammary gland. Chains of proteins can then grow until they encounter a chain-terminating protein or bond with another chain. Also, different dissociation and aggregation behavior of casein supramolecules may be explained using this model. Overall, this study has put forth a molecular model for the casein supramolecule that satisfies the principles of self aggregation, interdependence, and diversity that are often observed in nature.

Parry S et al. – Optimal strategies to employ cervical ultrasound and progesterone treatment might be revealed by additional studies investigating cervical length cut–offs, frequency of screening, selective screening in higher–risk groups, and the use of transabdominal cervical length screening as a surrogate for transvaginal cervical length screening.
- Three large randomized controlled trials investigating the efficacy of universal cervical length screening and treatment with vaginal progesterone or cervical cerclage to prevent preterm delivery have been published over the past several years.
- None of these trials demonstrate proven efficacy for universal cervical length screening and cerclage placement in women with short cervical length.
- However, universal cervical length screening and treatment with daily vaginal progesterone in women with short cervical length reduces the risk of preterm birth, but large numbers of women must be screened to prevent a relatively small number of preterm deliveries.
- Issues that should be considered while implementing universal cervical length screening include: 1) the standards of quality and reproducibility for transvaginal ultrasound cervical length ascertainment; 2) the implications of screening on the application of therapeutic strategies to populations not known to benefit (so–called "indication creep"); and 3) the willingness of obstetricians to prescribe vaginal progesterone formulations that are not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for preterm birth prevention.

The Brewers Yovani Gallardo asserted himself as one of the NL's top pitchers this afternoon as he dominated the Nationals line up en route to a 7-3 Brewers victory.
The 23-year-old Gallardo sliced through the Nationals line up, only giving up five hits in seven innings. The Brewer twirler fanned 11 Nats while walking only one.
10 of Gallardo's strikeouts came without controversy, but Anderson Hernandez's fanning in the third did not sit well with manager Jim Riggleman. With a 1-2 count home plate umpire Joe West called out Hernandez saying he swung through the ball, Hernandez however contested, saying he fouled it off.
Riggleman argued for about a minute, then was ejected.
The Nationals only success at the plate came when Ryan Zimmerman launched a two out, three run bomb to center giving the Nats their only runs. Zimmerman's homer was his 19th of the season and his fourth homer in the last ten games.
Nyjer Morgan continued his hot streak as well. The centerfielder went three for four with a run, a double, and his 32nd stolen base of the year.
Morgan has been on quite a tear lately. In his last 10 games his batting .447 with nine runs scored. Many have attributed the Nationals recent success to Morgan's energy and spark at the top of the line up. Whether or not this is quantifiable is unsure, however his hot streak has definitely helped, and his defensive prowess is undeniable.
In other news, here was the Nationals reaction to Adam Dunn's homer the other night.

There's no question that social media can be beneficial to nonprofits and their causes. There are plenty of great blogs out there on that topic (like Beth's Blog, NTEN's blog, and John Haydon's blog). But the concept that social media are most beneficial to nonprofits, that these mediums are optimized for the nonprofit industry, is a newer idea. I sat down with Boston University Professor Steve Quigley, a public relations veteran and social media thought leader, to get his take on nonprofits and social media.
First question: Is it possible that social media present an even greater opportunity for nonprofits than they do for for-profit companies?
Here's my takeaway from that video:
Okay, question two: You make it sound easy to find success on social media -- any specific tips on how to get started?
My takeaway from that video:

Student Chapter of Amnesty International
To Hold Forum and Debate on Death Penalty
MAILED: March 22, 2002
EAU CLAIRE — April 1-8 is the National Week of Student Action for Amnesty International. Over 600 student chapters will direct their energy toward abolishing the death penalty.
The UW-Eau Claire student chapter of Amnesty International will host a death penalty forum titled "Lethal Injustice" at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 3, in Schofield Auditorium. A debate on the death penalty will follow at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 4, in the Menominee Room in Davies Center. The student group also will have an informational table in Davies Tuesday through Thursday.
According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the death penalty is a violation of the right to life. Currently, the United States is the only industrialized nation that still practices capital punishment. Amnesty International, a worldwide organization that peacefully defends human rights through grass root actions, opposes the death penalty in all situations.
Wednesday's forum will feature two speakers: Gary Gauger and Ed Garvey. Gauger was sent to death row in Illinois for the murder of his elderly parents, Ruth and Morris Gauger, in 1993. Thanks to the hard work of those who believed in his innocence, he was ultimately released and exonerated, and two other men, James Schneider and Randy Miller, were arrested for the crime. Since his release, Gauger, who opposes the death penalty for his parents' murderers, has joined Murder Victims' Families for Reconciliation to speak out against the death penalty.
Garvey practices law in Madison at Garvey & Stoddard, where the emphasis is on protection of the environment. Federal Judge Barbara Crabb appointed Garvey as counsel for all inmates at the Supermax prison in Boscobel. He will address problems in the criminal justice system, including the death penalty, and will give the forum a local spin by addressing the human rights abuses he worked to abolish in the Boscobel Supermax prison.
Following the forum, audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions and take action against the death penalty by signing a petition.
Thursday's debate will feature Dr. Donald Mowry, director of Service Learning at UW-Eau Claire and a member of the ACLU; Chrissy Smith, student co-president of AI-UW-Eau Claire; Dr. Erwin Steiner, associate professor of management and marketing at UW-Eau Claire and instructor of a course on business law; and Dr. Daniel Strouthes, assistant professor in UW-Eau Claire's department of geography and anthropology and instructor of a course on the anthropology of law. Mowry and Smith will argue for abolition of the death penalty, while Steiner and Strouthes will present arguments in support of the death penalty. Audience members will be able to submit questions during the debate. Admission is free and open to the public for both events.
For more information, contact Amnesty International student group co-presidents Chrissy Smith, at 858-1167 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or Sarah Aldridge, at 855-2925 or email@example.com.

There is an old saying that goes, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." It's alternately been credited to writer Mark Twain and British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli.
No matter where it originated, though, the quote applies well to unemployment figures released by the U.S. Labor Department.
Earlier this month the Labor Department reported the nation's unemployment rate dropped for the fifth consecutive month in January to 8.3 percent, its lowest level in three years. That is good news, but not quite as good as it first appears.
Using that measure, 12.3 million people are unemployed, which is a decline of 0.2 percent from December.
The number of long-term unemployed — those jobless for six months or more — was 5.5 million people, accounting for 42.9 percent of the unemployed.
Critics of how the government calculates the unemployment rate, however, say it's misleading because it doesn't count so-called "discouraged workers." Those are people who are jobless and have looked for work sometime in the past year but aren't currently looking because of real or perceived poor employment prospects. In other words, they've given up.
Federal data shows a disproportionate number of young people, African-Americans, Hispanics and men comprise the discouraged-worker segment.
Including those workers, the unemployment rate was 16.2 percent in January. Some analysts, however, believe that grossly understates the numbers. (The highest the rate got during the Great Depression was 25 percent in 1933.)
Here's some context. In the modern era (1948-present), the U.S. unemployment rate averaged 5.7 percent — reaching a record high of 10.8 percent in November 1982 and a record low of 2.5 percent in May 1953.
As economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has noted, "we started 2012 with fewer workers employed than in January 2001 — zero growth after 11 years, even as the population, and therefore the number of jobs we needed, grew steadily."
Krugman added, "at January's pace of job creation it would take us until 2019 to return to full employment."
In a little noticed report, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) stated last week that the rate of unemployment in the United States has exceeded 8 percent since February 2009, making the past three years the longest stretch of high unemployment in this nation since the Great Depression.
Additionally, the CBO — which is the official, objective analyst for the federal government — estimates that the unemployment rate will remain above 8 percent until 2014.
If that's not depressing enough, consider this: The share of unemployed people who have been looking for work for more than a year — referred to as marginally-attached workers— topped 40 percent in December 2009 and has remained above that level ever since.
The CBO stated the high unemployment rate's primary cause is weak demand for goods and services as a result of the recession and its aftermath, which results in weak demand for workers.
To produce the largest increases in employment per dollar of budgetary cost, the agency recommended reducing the marginal cost to businesses of adding employees; and targeting people most likely to spend the additional income — generally, people with lower income.
"Policies primarily affecting businesses' cash flow would have little impact on their marginal incentives to hire or invest and, therefore, would have only small effects on employment per dollar of budgetary cost," the CBO's report stated.
"Despite the near-term economic benefits, such actions would add to the already large projected budget deficits that would exist under current policies, either immediately or over time," it added. "Achieving both short-term stimulus and long-term sustainability would require a combination of policies: changes in taxes and spending that would widen the deficit now but reduce it later in the decade."
Let's make that clear — economic stimulus for poor people who would actually spend the money is most effective, and to have an impact the federal deficit needs to increase in the short-term.
Republicans, are you listening?
After a few months of preparation, two Ohio legislators today formally introduced an economic development plan that a nonpartisan group has said could create up to 16,000 jobs in the state.
State Sens. Eric Kearney (D-North Avondale) and Nina Turner (D-Cleveland) have submitted Senate Bill No. 278, known as "Forward Ohio," for the State Legislature's consideration.
Some campaign workers for independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader are conceding their choice for the Oval Office probably doesn't have a realistic chance at being elected. But they say Nader's platform of issues is what's truly important and are urging progressive voters to pressure the winners in this November's elections into pursuing his agenda.
Two Cincinnati City Council members will unveil a proposal Wednesday to require banks to take better care of foreclosed properties.
Councilmen P.G. Sittenfeld and Cecil Thomas want city administrators to gauge the feasibility of launching a pilot program to improve vacant and blighted properties, which they said would help stabilize neighborhoods.
If ultimately deemed feasible and approved, the proposal would create a mandatory registry for vacant foreclosed properties and enact stiffer civil offense charges for properties that aren't properly maintained. Also, it would require point of sale inspections prior to sheriff's sales, and assess the costs for code violation corrections to lenders.
The program would be tried on a one-year trial basis in Westwood, Price Hill, College Hill, Madisonville and Mount Airy. If successful, it could be expanded to other neighborhoods.
When foreclosed properties are left vacant, they often become targets of crime and sources of blight, and can ultimately end up in the hands of absentee landlords, Sittenfeld said.
"Our efforts are all about demanding accountability," Sittenfeld said. "Banks and lenders must maintain the properties they own, just like the rest of us."
He added, "We must all care about this issue because all of us are affected by it. If you live next to a vacant foreclosed house, your property values go down and your quality of life deteriorates. This pilot program provides an important step toward stabilizing our neighborhoods."
Sittenfeld and Thomas will formally announce the plan at a press conference Wednesday morning at a foreclosed home at 1540 Ambrose Ave. in College Hill. The property is owned by mortgage giant Fannie Mae, which has had 188 building code enforcement cases in Cincinnati during the past five years.
The proposal also has the support of Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls and Councilmembers Chris Seelbach, Charlie Winburn and Wendell Young. That gives it enough votes for passage, which means administrators will report back to council on the costs for such a program and whether it would be effective.
Community activists and advocates from Working In Neighborhoods and the Legal Aid Society also support the proposal.
News junkies probably heard about the warnings issued by Cincinnati City Hall this week, reminding citizens of its "ticket amnesty" program: Anyone with unpaid parking tickets should pay now or possibly have their vehicles impounded by police.
What City Hall didn't announce was that as of last month, 429 of the nearly 62,000 unpaid parking tickets were issued to municipal employees — including some cops and firefighters.
...do people in Washington D.C. not get the concept of economic stimulus?
There was a period of time in U.S history, roughly for 30 years after the Civil War, known as "the Gilded Age." The American economy grew at an unprecedented rate as the nation transformed itself from an agrarian society into an industrial one.
But the transformation's downside included excessive displays of wealth and captains of industry who grew their fortunes on the backs of exploited and mistreated workers. The government ignored the situation, as the era gave rise to the concept of "social Darwinism."
Before it went down to a crushing defeat, top officials at the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve were describing the $700 billion bailout plan that failed Monday in starkly different terms during private conversations with Wall Street investors.
As most people know, the proposed bailout failed yesterday in a surprising 205-228 vote, defying the wishes of President Bush as well as Democratic and Republican party leaders. Overall, there were 140 Democrats in favor of the plan and 95 opposed, with 65 Republicans in support and 133 opposed.
Progressive bloggers were tipped off that Treasury officials were holding a secret conference call with Wall Street executives Monday before the vote and managed to access the call and listen in. What they heard reveals a lot about who really wields power in the U.S. political system, and how Congress — both Democrats and Republicans — shade the truth for constitutients.
Treasury officials reportedly told the executives that provisions calling for the $700 billion to be given in phased payments were a formality and the entire amount could be accessed at once, if needed. Also, provisions limiting executive pay at failed firms were mostly symbolic and would have little actual effect, as they didn't affect existing contracts.
Further, clawback provisions that would attempt to help taxpayers recoup some of the money once assets were sold by the government "would need more congressional and presidential action to implement" and was unlikely to occur.
It's interesting how Treasury Department appointees — who are supposed to be acting in the public's interest — give a different description of the bailout in private.
Meanwhile, Democratic and Republican leaders promise to try again with a revised bailout plan when they reconvene Thursday. Already the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Realtors are busy trying to pressure GOP lawmakers into approving a bailout plan, threatening to withhold campaign cash from those who don't.
Although hometown boy and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-West Chester) initially tried to blame the bill's defeat on a fiery floor speech by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, today's Washington Post undercuts that position. GOP leaders said later they had been pessimistic about the bill's chances from the start because many conservative representatives were ideologically opposed to a large, taxpayer-funded intervention. In fact, Boehner and others seriously considered asking Pelosi to delay any vote Monday, The Post reports.
Adhering to simplistic GOP talking points, Hamilton County Republican Party Chairman Alex Triantafilou blasts Pelosi on his blog for the bill's defeat. Ol' Alex defends Boehner, adding his stance showed leadership. What, then, does the opposing position taken by Steve Chabot, Jean Schmidt, Geoff Davis and the rest of Greater Cincinnati's Republican congressional delegation show? The chairman is remaining mum on that one.
Some observers on both the right and the left describe what happened Monday as a modern day Boston Tea Party, with an angry public finally standing up to an out-of-control investor class. Let's hope the party doesn't peter out anytime soon.

The nights are getting longer and the sunshine less effective; that's right, the Winter is coming. But fear not, sometimes the best part of Winter weather is the ability to combat it, the know-how to prevail in it, and the comfort in doing so. With the right outfit and layers, you can stay comfortable in the cold and ready for anything old man Winter throws your way. So here for you today is a a suggestion to what a great Winter setup might look like:
If you are going to be tromping around in some wet, snowy, and icy Winter conditions; then you'll want to get some boots with good traction, water-proofing, and preferably a little insulation to keep your toes cozy. I would recommend something from Merrel's boot selection like the Thermo 6 for men or the Snowbound for women.
Wool Socks:
Remember the days when receiving socks on the holidays was a big let down? Now if you unwrap a pair of SmartWool's PHD BackCountry socks, prepare to be amazed. Not only will this socks keep you warm and dry, but with smart seam technology, they feel functional and assist any every Winter activity.
Long Underwear:
If you are going to be standing around in some cold weather, don't let that wind ripping around your legs get you down. Invest in a pair of long underwear and stay warm all day. If you can spend the dime, going for a pair of wool leggings will suit you best. Products like IceBreaker's Merino Anatomica Leggings for men and Sprite Leggings for women will keep you warm and wick away in moisture to keep you feeling fresh.
Well of course you need to wear pants, you animal. But more specifically, insulated and water-resistant pants will treat you best. Their are a variety of products to choose from, but I would recommend the sturdy yet stylish selection from Marmot, including the Ridgewood Insulated Pants for men, or the Kylie Insulated Pants for women.
Base Layer:
Whatever company you choose, just remember, avoid cotton base layers. For those of you that don't know, base layers refer to the first clothing item touching the skin. And that first item should be a material like wool or recycled polyester similar to Patagonia's Capilene 2 for Men and Women. These materials will effectively wick away your sweat, instead of collecting it like cotton does, and let you not worry about turning into a Popsicle overnight or stinking up the campsite.
An important aspect of Winter wear is to be able to shed and adorn layers quickly and at your convenience. So for a good fleece, I would go with one that packs in the heat and has a full zipper for maximum versatility. Something like The North Face's Grizzly Jacket for Men and Women would be nice to zip up on the the chairlift ride, and let the jacket flail as you're riding down the slopes.
Winter Coat:
A lot of avenues to go down here. The number one thing you should be looking for if you're hanging out in the cold is that the jacket is warm. In a perfect world though, everyone could wear something like Arc'teryx Fission SV Jacket for Men and Women. Not only is the jacket warm, it's got a functional fit, it's completely waterproof, and has enough retail jacket technology to make your head spin.
What's maybe the worst thing in the world? Digging through your winter clothes collection and only finding one right-handed glove. Invest in a nice pair of winter gloves akin to Mountain Hardware's Snowzilla Glove and not only will your fingers stay toasty warm, but you'll never let them out of your sight long enough to leave a brother behind.
It's said that most of your heat escapes from you head. True or not, there's no doubt that the difference between wearing a winter hat and not is noticeable, especially amongst the snowbanks and snowmen. Do yourself a favor while your at it, make sure to get something like Outdoor Research's Peruvian Hat, one that covers the ears and let's you avoid looking embarrassed with red ears every time you step out.
Want to know the best way to never get out of bed again? The Pacific Coast Furniture Company knows the answer. Their Cozy Warm Down Blanket and Comforter will turn your bedroom into a winter retreat. Get lost at the end of the day in this mammoth fluffy mess and sleep easy knowing that you'll stay warm.

Update #2: EA has further commented on the launch day woes, insisting that the installation issues have been ironed out.
Update #1: A Maxis spokesperson had this to say in regards to the launch day woes:
There are a small number of players who have encountered issues with SimCity for Mac. Our live team is working individually with our players to resolve their issues and get them into the game as quickly as possible.
Original story: The Windows launch of SimCity didn't exactly go smoothly in March. There were issues with offline play -- namely, it doesn't exist -- and servers were flooded and impossible to connect to. But those issues seem to pale in comparison to today's release of the Mac version, with many players unable to even install the game.
The official EA forums are overrun with Mac gamers desperately trying to get their purchases to work correctly on computers ranging from brand-new Retina MacBooks to iMacs that are just a few weeks old. I've been told by one player that in order to even download the game, he was forced to reinstall EA's Origin download application three times.
Comments from players on social media are decidedly negative ranging from "It's totally unplayable," to "It is a disaster." Yikes.
There also appear to be issues with attempting to start the software, with the game lagging on even the most capable Macs. Many users are reporting that the game can't be played in full-screen mode and will repeatedly default back to a small window without being prompted.
Here's what Twitter has to say on the matter:
Hey, PSA everyone: Despite being delayed multiple times, @SimCity doesn't work for Mac. HOW. ABOUT. THAT.- Nicholas Salazar (@TheNickSalazar) August 29

Stop Summer Brain Drain!
Kids' math and reading skills fall three months behind over vacation. Here are eight fun ways to ensure their learning doesn't suffer
Summer's almost here! The long-awaited school break gives kids time to play, sleep in, relax – and lose three months of skills. In fact, many children fall almost three months behind in math and reading gains over vacation. Educators call it the "summer slide," and it usually takes the first two months of the next school year for teachers to bring them back up to speed.
But creating a summer that's totally void of learning isn't what children need. Parents can provide high-quality learning opportunities that are different from activities they're exposed to during the school year. It's a break from traditional schoolwork, yet prevents important skills from slipping. Try these eight tips from the authors of The 10 Commitments: Parenting with Purpose.
1. Calculations everywhere. Math skills deteriorate rapidly in the summer. Use your environment to help kids use those abilities. When you put chemicals in the pool, take the time to figure out the area, diameter or volume. At approximately 9 pounds per gallon of water, how much does all that water weigh?
2. Travel adds up. Taking a road trip? Calculate the mileage by using a map and adding up the distance as indicated on the map. What does miles-per-hour mean – and how do you compute it? How many MPGs are you getting? What is the difference in gas prices in different locations?
3. Budget it. Sit together with your 11-year-old and balance the checkbook and compare it to the family budget. Help your teenager create a budget plan or pick a stock to invest in and track its progress through the summer.
4. Cash in hand. Have your children handle money. Return pop bottles and have kids estimate how much money they will receive. Allow them to make change at your garage sale. Have them count the money you have in the family charity jar.
5. Keep it fun. Play games that require the use of skills learned in school. Remember the classic card game "War?" It's now "Top It." Turn over a card and see if you have a card that is higher. For first and second graders turn over two cards, add them together and see which sum is higher. For fourth, fifth and sixth graders, turn over two (or three) cards and multiply them and see which product is higher. Play Monopoly, Scrabble, Yahtzee, Rummikub, Boggle, Sequence or Word Up, too. A brief stop at the department store game section and your list of options easily multiplies.
6. Read to it. Keep lots of reading material around your home. Read to and with your children. Create a family book club. Pick a book with your child and both read it. Just the two of you sit down together over an ice cream cone once a week and discuss the plot development or characters.
7. Model learning. Turn off the TV and get away from the video games. Let your kids catch you reading this summer. Learn a new computer program. Start that book you've been wanting to write. Expand your with a wood carving or painting class or parenting workshop.
8. Get help. Every community has learning activities for kids. Libraries have reading programs. Recreation centers and churches host day camps. Schools have inventors' camps. Art institutes offer drawing, painting, pottery and drama classes for children. Sign your kids up!
Create a summer that balances rest, relaxation and fun with learning. Use the many opportunities that summer offers to help your children grow their brains. If you do, you'll help them begin the new school year right where they left off – and the only summer slide they'll experience will be the one at the local or water park!
