Cunard Line has long been idolised as one of the world's premier cruise lines, and rightly so. Having been established since 1804, Cunard Line has a reputation that proceeds them and is still very much one of the most respected and trusted cruise lines in the world.
Aboard the world's youngest fleet you can expect first class service, mouth-watering dining options and an onboard atmosphere that will capture every inch of your imagination and take you back in time to the golden age of cruising.
Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary 2, the largest ocean liner in the world, are famed for their highly-stylistic décor, resplendent with classical art deco touches and onboard accommodation that echoes the world's finest hotels.
Cunard's three Queens offer exquisite dining options that are guaranteed to tantalise your taste buds. Immerse yourself in the range of dining experiences; from casual bars that offer superb views of the horizon, to the fine dining restaurants that offer award winning cuisine prepared and served with a panache that rivals the world's top eateries.
When not exploring ashore you can take a leisurely stroll around any Cunard ship and discover that those who refer to these vessels as 'cities at sea' are not far wrong. The onboard leisure facilities are superb and the world renowned Canyon Ranch Spa is the ideal way to relax after a busy day soaking up the atmosphere and sights ashore.
You will also find a wonderful selection of public lounges and aboard Queen Mary 2 you will find the only planetarium at sea. The library's onboard offer an impressive selection of books; you can soak yourself in an action packed novel or simply unwind and research your next port of call. Each Cunard ship is designed with you in mind and once aboard you will find that your time spent at sea can be filled with as little, or as much as you like.
In 1922 the Laconia embarked on Cunard's first ever world cruise, a 130-night voyage which called at 22 ports. This voyage would begin a love affair with world cruising that is as popular today with passengers as it was almost 100 years ago.
A world cruise is still considered one of life's greatest travel experiences and with the knowledge and experience of Cunard you can be assured you will experience the best world cruise programme in the world. As all three of Cunard's Queens offer world cruises your hardest decision will be deciding which ship and itinerary to choose.
Queen Mary 2 World Cruise 2015 Highlights:
Queen Mary 2 sets off to the east on a circuit across four continents - Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa.
Queen Victoria World Cruise 2015 Highlights:
Queen Victoria follows her own extended route to the Americas, the Pacific Islands, Australia and New Zealand.
Queen Elizabeth World Cruise 2015 Highlights:
Queen Elizabeth follows the curve of the world to the west on a full circumnavigation of the globe which she will complete over 112 nights.
As Cunard homeport in Southampton they offer a vast selection of cruises directly from the UK to some of the world's greatest destinations.
You can sail to the Canary Islands, Northern Europe, Mediterranean, Baltic region and even the Caribbean without having the hustle and bustle of getting to the port via air.
Transatlantic voyages are incredibly popular and Cunard are the only cruise line in the world to still offer the regular service between Southampton and New York. Queen Mary 2 sails several transatlantic voyages a year each offering something unique. You can choose to sail direct and fly back to the UK or vice versa. Some even opt to sail from the UK and have an extended stay in New York, sailing back to the UK at a later date. It is an incredibly flexible option and what a way to see New York. They say the best way to arrive in New York is via a grand ocean going vessel and to do it with Cunard is still the best way.
Cunard's 2014/15 cruise programme is as exciting as ever and there are several new ports of call lined up for 2014 including: St Tropez, Elba, Bodrum, Toulon, Skagen, Volos and Kotor.
2014 will also bring two extra special transatlantic 'Birthday Crossings' for Queen Mary 2 as Cunard celebrate her 10th year in service. Southampton to New York departing May 9th 2014 and New York to Southampton departing May 16th 2014. Both voyages will feature a number of special events and celebrations along with special guest speakers.
The Cunard 2015 cruise collection is also promising to be full of exciting and interesting voyages with various segments of the world voyage programmes being available. These include: Singapore to Dubai aboard Queen Elizabeth, Perth to Southampton aboard Queen Mary 2 and Sydney to New York aboard Queen Victoria.

James said she was "starting from scratch" and "opening whole new chapter and a brand new journey" with her career change.
The wrestler/singer said she was influenced by listening to classic country stars like Willie Nelson and Tim McGraw growing up. Click here to see her performance on Fox and Friends. Below is a video of her wrestling.

Should the United States have created the state of Israel?Submitted by pawnstorm12 on Thu, 01/31/2013 - 07:15
I hope this essay isn't seen as anti-Semitic in any way. It is not meant to be.
It only asks a question about the role of the U.S. in creating another nation based solely on a creed.
When the United States created the state of Israel in 1948, it sealed a certain fate which will last indefinitely.
One might argue that the U.S. didn't create Israel by itself - after all, didn't many nations participate?
But after WWII, the U.S. had the biggest guns in the world, including sole possession of the atom bomb.
No one could have forced us to do, or prevented us from doing anything.
So without the power of U.S. military might behind the decision to form a new nation (which meant displacing three quarters of a million people), and draw up new borders (based only a religion), such a nation-state would not have been created.
The United States itself was formed under strict rules prohibiting it from being based on any religion, creed, culture, language or any other such parameter restricting citizenship - other than the idea of individual liberty.
So it's rather ironic that we were instrumental in creating a new country BASED COMPLETELY on a belief system.
If you weren't Jewish, you couldn't live in Israel proper after the borders were drawn, and it's basically the same today I believe.
Now I'm not arguing whatsoever against U.S. efforts to liberate Jewish prisoners from Nazi concentration camps.
I read the book "Auschwitz" when I was 13, and it had a profound and lasting effect on me.
It was hard to believe humans could do that to one another, but the photos didn't lie.
My question is: After the Germans were defeated and Jewish prisoners freed from those camps, is that where the U.S. should have stopped?
Other than humanitarian efforts (not by government force, but rather by charity) to aid former prisoners back into freedom, was it a good idea to actually create a nation for them?
Would our founders have warned us about being invloved in forming a nation based strictly on a religion?
Would thay have told us we would never be safe again if we did that?
Will we one day be involved in a war over Israel?
Is there's any stopping it?
How many Americans will die (or have already died) in defense of Israel?
Will it never end until the end of time?
How many more 9/11's will happen to us for our involvement?
Will all the biblical connotations become self-fulfilling prophecies wherein our interventions will be justified and deemed necessary i.e. Revelations?
Maybe I'm off base here, and I suppose the criticisms will come hot and heavy.
But today, American citizens are a semi-slaves, not only to Israel, but to all the other countries to whom we're giving untold billions of dollars in a futile attempt to buy peace and "friendship."
Case in point: We've given Egypt some $70 BILLION over the last 40 years to leave Israel alone.
And we still give them billions. But they're not going to leave Israel alone anymore.
So what do we do NOW? Continue to give them weapons and money which one day will be used against US?
The same goes for Syria, Libya, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, UAE, Qatar etc.
Our founders warned us, but we didn't listen.
And now we'll forever pay the price - in blood, treasure and national insecurity.
As always, I'm open to opinions as to why I may be wrong about this.
I only wish I was.

Should have been created in Germany if at all...
... and granted the best half (resources / agriculture / etc.) or more of the land within Germany's original, pre-war borders.
What would the Founders do?
Let me run a 'hypothetical' senario by you
The West, as defined in modern history, is undergoing a rapid, and catastrophic, economic decline. The reasons we won't go into here, but centered around greed, corruption and incompetent decision making.
There is an impending power shift to the East, both economically and militaristically, within the foreseeable future.
The Achillies heel of China is the reliance on the importation of raw materials and natural resources.
The PTB in the West, in order to counter that shift, have embarked on a course of strategic control, through militaristic intervention, predominently US and NATO, to take possession and control the wealth of natural resources in the Middle East and North Africa. The key element to power, is possession and control.
Neither China, India or even Korea and Russia present an existential threat to the West of itself, but there exists, in the face of interventionism, a common threat that forces a common alliance, and combined resistance.
Israel exists as a 'Western' power in the Middle East, and a controlling factor thereof, threatened only by Iran with any future nuclear capability provided to it.
The goal is world domination, the threat is world war. Big stakes, big risks in the name of "The New World Dis-Order".
End of hypothetical.

Israel is a Western bulwark. It was created for our own defense against the Russians, the Chinese, and the Muslims. This is not new, the West has been fighting the East for centuries...and it goes on today.
Russia, China, and the United Nations HATE Israel.
Gee, I wonder why.
A sovereign Western nation state, smack dab in the middle of the globe...geostrategically speaking, the creation of Israel was brilliant. In a military sense, it makes perfect sense. The Russians were anything but happy when Israel was born in 1947.
Israel is tremendously important to American and European national security interests.
Japan was, "created," for the same purpose on a more eastern front. Who's their closest neighbor? China.
I don't think the Chinese Communist Party leaders were smiling after the United States took control over Japan and helped build that nation into an economic powerhouse that forever changed the world for the better.
Israel and Japan are practically two giant Western military bases/fronts...each on the edge of the west and east.
Israel was created to keep an eye on Russia, and Japan was created to keep an eye on China.
Even though Americans rarely hear or see anything about Russia or China, I think those two countries are the real reasons behind the creation of Israel and Japan.
Never be afraid to ask simple questions.
this is all assuming that China and . . .
Russia are real threats, which they would not be, if America had minded *her* own business--
America could be a Switzerland in the western hemisphere--
no bases needed--
the enemy was created by the elite anyway--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
Well, ultimately.
To be quite fair to the indigenous people of that land, this did create quite the problem to be sure. No one can deny this fact. Now, there is good evidence to suggest that many European countries did not want a major influx of Jewish refugees, much like Roma (Gypsies) are now seen as a nuisance to many Europeans. Anti-Jewish sentiment still existed after the war, and some allied and neutral countries continued to have suspicions that the Jewish people at least played some role in the war. This anti-semitisim did exist prior to WW1 and came to a head during the economic downturn that preceded World War 2. Many Europeans even came to blame the Jews, and not Serbian terrorists, for the assassination of Franz Ferdinand which led to WW1.
Now, looking at it from a perspective of if it should have happened - my answer is, unfortunately, no. It should not have taken place. Prior to Israel being established as a nation state, indigenous Hebrews, Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived in that region without much conflict, albeit under British, and once Ottoman rule. The issue of contention was that the British Empire, still in control of the world currency, and flexing its imperialistic imperatives, decided to do this, without so much as consulting anyone else in the region. At the time, the region was considered to be dominated by savages and so forth. Now, looking at what really happened, many Palestinians were displaced, and this cannot be denied. The state of Israel adopted a theocratic republic that would allow anyone of Jewish heritage to move there, which would kind of being like if you had a claim to being Roman, you could automatically gain Italian citizenship. It does not make any sense, except to super-religious people.
Thus, many Jewish families who traced their lineage to Europe alone, and not the "promised land" of Judea, found themselves moving there, and considering it their holy land. The problem, of course, being, that all 3 world religions have had a casus belli on this land (or cause for war under Christian Just War Theory) due to the nature of all 3 religions springing from this area. Thus, the only result could be conflict.
Mind you, however, that whats done is done, and cannot and should not be reversed. However, in the spirit of the UN Charter, I do believe that this violated it. Indeed, I also believe that Israel should comply with UN resolution 242 calling for 67 borders. Prior to this, the UN only recognized the 48 borders, and according to the UN, no nation can gain land from war following World War 2. This obviously makes sense as a world policy, since it deters nations from trying to annex land.
It is also the reason why the US failed to get UN support to invade Iraq. The entire point of the UN is to prevent war and not subsidize it, although the US and Britain have used their might in the last during Korea to make that a matter of discontent. So, really, no Israel should not have been created. But it has, and what they are doing now is far more important than what happened before. The settlement program needs to end and they need to go back to the 1967 borders, remove the blockades and physical walls through Gaze and the West Bank, and absolutely dismantle the settlements. The settlements encompass almost all of the West Bank to the point that it barely exists any more as a Palestinian entity. Israel cannot annex Gaza or build settlements on the strip because incorporating it into Israel proper would give the Palestinians living there the majority throughout all of Israel. The Knesset would be overrun by Palestinians and that would be end of the theocratic state.
So if you look at what is really going on, we are looking at the slow but sure elimination of an indigenous people as a culture, as a race, and so forth, whether intentional or not. Nation states always subjugate the indigenous peoples of a land to gain more territory and this is quite unfortunate. In the case of the Palestinians, there is nothing left, but Gaza is still one of the more densely populated areas in the world, and so they have built giant walls around it and so forth to prevent any interaction with the outside world. This is a policy of the state of Israel and not Jews themselves, which should be understood as being quite mutually exclusive.
Very well written
You have done a nice job here of looking at the many layers of 'human context' within this conversation of 'why was Israel created?'
I appreciate how you bring attention to the various indigenous groups living in the land of Palestine ( Hebrews, Jews, Christians, Muslims). Truly, there was a "mixed multitude" living in the land...and this is still true today.
As a follower of Christ, I am grieved over the cruel treatment of the Palestinians, especially those living in Gaza.
I totally agree with your statement, " This is a policy of the state of Israel and not Jews themselves, which should be understood as being quite mutually exclusive."
Looking at this issue from a spiritual perspective I would ask those that profess Christ these questions ,"Is this land in the middle east called 'Israel' really the Holy Land?" Does God approve of how the Palestinians are being treated? Is the Kingdom of God 'lo here or lo there' or is it WITHIN?"

the creation of Israel was bankrolled almost 100% by the Rothschild Banking Family, so it should really be called the "State of Rothschild". Also Judaism and Zionism are NOT the same thing at all.

Face It - The Endless Checks are Going to Stop
What attracts me about libertarian ideas is that they reveal that artificial environments will eventually fall under their own weight. We see that in the analysis of the federally subsidized Ponzi schemes such as Social Security and MediCare.
I try to be neutral about Israel, the Arab states, the Middle East and all parties involved. I try to learn as much about the history, people and politics of the region. Like everything else there is a lot of good and bad and in-between on all sides.
Currently, we give Israel billions of dollars each year in military aid so it can defend itself against hostile neighbors. We give billions in dollars in military aid to Egypt so it won't fear Israel. We also give Egypt billions to keep their economy going so it can feed and employ its people. We give less but still large amounts to most of the other countries in the region.
Lets take geopolitics and religion out of this. What is Israel, Egypt and all these countries receiving foreign aid going to do when the aid stops? Anyone with a 6th grade education can easily see that the US government will go bankrupt before the end of this decade. All the recipient parties had better realize this and start making alternate plans.
On a personal level, I have come to the realization that Social Security will be bankrupt by the time I retire and I have to make alternate plans. I can moan and complain and blame and accuse. Still that isn't going to stop Social Security's bankruptcy and not going to pay my future bills.
Haavara Agreement
The US didn't create Israel, other than supporting international recognition of the Jewish State of Israel.
The German Nazis had a transfer agreement with the Jewish Nationalists (Zionists) ratified in March, 1933 that extended into 1942. This was to avert a Jewish worldwide boycott on the German enocomy. Under the agreement Jews in Germany, could relocate to Palestine, with their wealth, provisional on British immigration regulation.

thank you for this information--
I hadn't known this; there was a lot more going on there than *I* was told in public schools.
The British certainly held a lot of power--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
Nazis made a lot of agreements.
The one with Chamberlain "peace in our time". The one with Stalin. With the czechs. With the Poles. With the French. With the Dutch. With the Danes, Norwegians, Hungarians.
Do you know of one agreement the NAZIs made that they honored?
Can you cite an example? Much appreciated!
Similar to asking
For one presidential candidate that honored his campaign promises, but there are exceptions to everything, as you no doubt know.
But yes, the Haavara agreement does seem to be one of those exceptions, considering some 60,000 Jews and 40,419,000 (1930's) dollars went to Palestine. I expect the prospect of a worlwide Jewish boycott of a poverty stricken, depression torn nation had something to do with it.
Possibly the fact that the German Jews, disproportionately, had a monopoly on the national media and failed banking system, also lent some incentive.
Unfortunately, due to British resistance, and the immigration levy imposed ($4,990), later increased along with other costs, only the wealthy (or fortunate) had access to the system, otherwise maybe a lot more 'transfers' would have been effected.

An important aspect of the
An important aspect of the forming of Israel to remember is that many, many Jews were flowing into Palestine for YEARS before the creation of the state. And not only were they forming communities and enclaves within British Palestine, they were actively defying British rule even before WWII. Very similar to the American colonists here, they saw the British as the arbitrary rulers over their own land.
So when the U.S. voted in favor of the creation of the state of Israel (the Partition Plan), it was important but not game-changing. Indeed, the issue of recognition of Israel was highly contentious, with many in the Truman administration wary of its effect on Muslim relations, which the US saw as vital to contain Soviet influence. In fact Truman himself was more concerned with the displaced people of Europe than recognition of Israel.
Far more important was the tripartite agreement with Israel, the U.S., Britain and France, which followed the Palestinian Civil War and assured that the three superpowers would defend the Green Line should the Arabs encroach on Israeli territories. That's what really set up the prominence of the United States in Israeli politics. You could also argue that the relationship wasn't truly solidified until Nixon.
Dont forget the Jews native to Palestine before any of this.
Several hundred thousand *generally* living fairly peacefully side by side with everyone else even before the British mandate.
If anything it was the foreign western occupying powers that instigated the nonsense still going on today.
yes, the Jews did live peacefully with the Muslims and . . .
Christians there before 1948--
the 'foreign western occupying powers' are guilty for a lot of crimes, throughout the world, not just in the middle east--
and the Jews who moved into the 'neighborhood' after 1948 were a different sort of people than those who lived there before--
made for a very interesting situation--
that has led to heartache--
and not all the Jews were happy about it; will you ever respond to this:
The way you write implies that you are a Christian (as am I); I hope you are not the sort of Christian who believes that only secular Jews who don't believe that the Jews have any hope in the Messiah have a right to exist--
These people are real; they are righteous, and they have strong opinions--
but most Christian Zionists don't like them, because they actually believe that the Messiah will come.
So do those of us who believe that Jesus will come again.
These Jews are peaceable; they are friends of Christians and Muslims, though wary of secular Jews--
but they are not violent, though they do protest--
why can't you acknowledge them?
Do you think righteous Jews displease God?
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
Consider me Jewish.
How about this. I am a Christian and I am personally anti-zionist.
However, I am not anti-semetic like I suspect you are.
So, here's my proposal. I willingly take upon myself the mantle of a Jew for the purposes of our relationship.
Henceforth, I want you to consider me and treat me as you would any Jewish person, ok? Consider me to be what I think you believe is the "worst" kind - Ashkenaz.
Now, let's proceed accordingly.
Thank you.
I am not anti-Ashkenazi--
The only thing I have ever criticized about European Jews IN ISRAEL is the way they have treated African Jews and Sephardic Jews IN ISRAEL. I obviously didn't spell Sephardic the right way.
I admit that I haven't studied Jewish ancestry very much, even though I have Jewish relatives; some of them have concerted to Christianity; some of them have not, but I have had nothing to do with conversions, and I support those who remain Jewish.
Because I state that nobody knows how many have been killed in worldwide genocides--
I become anti-Semitic?
I, too, am not sympathetic with Zionism, but I think that using the word "anti" is problematic. I believe that the governments of both America and Israel are being controlled by some kind of cartel. Do I believe most of the 'members' of the cartel are of Jewish descent? No, I do not.
So, why am I anti-Semitic?
I am wary of Israel, because most of the members of my own Christian denomination revere the leaders of Israel and are highly pro-Israel, very sentimental about Israel--
and are highly anti-Muslim.
I am neither Muslim nor Jew, but it's enough proof to me that the Muslims have been used as an excuse for invading the middle east--
that hundreds of thousands of innocent middle easterners of mostly Muslim religion have been killed in the past decade--
That makes me suspicious that Islam is being used as an excuse for something--
the fact that most of my Christian friends claim that Israel is a frightened victim when the people of Gaza are suffering--
does make me wonder what is happening.
But I don't believe that any more of the Israeli citizens are 'evil' than American citizens.
In fact, I am quite convinced that many Israelis are not happy with the present 'regime', and I am also convinced that many Jews outside Israel are very unhappy with Israel's treatment of Palestinians.
I was heartsick when European Jews (not in Israel) were turned away when they tried to get aid to the Palestinians.
I don't believe there is a malignant religion; I don't believe there is a malignant ethnic group--
but I do think that Israel is controversial. I am not even sure why--but I think it's very controversial.
I believe there are evil people in every religion, ethnic group and nationality--
I would never pick out one group to call evil--
unless it is a shadowy group of unknown people who are behind this kind of thing:
I believe there are shadow governments (I heard Dr. Paul use that term) in every nation in the world--
I think they have more power in some than in others; I highly suspect they are very powerful in the most wealthy nations of the world--
but I don't know for sure--
You're asking me to consider you an Ashkenazi Jew--and I am quite sure there are Jews of Ashkenazi descent (I think there's another term for them) among those Orthodox Jews who are unhappy with Israel--
You didn't answer my question--
Is God displeased with righteous Jews? If so, why?
You didn't respond to anything I said about how I support the Jews against Zionism--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
Holy cow FBI,
you are human first, jew second. Most of the western world states that they "hate Americans", and 99.99 percent of people know that it's American politics that is hated...not the everyday American that they meet.
Grow up about this.
I abhor Zionist politics...but I don't hate Jews.
I don't believe you, therefore, for your purposes.....
...consider me to be Ashkenaz. Thank you.
Look at what Harry Truman said about the Jewish people.
Truman?s newly-discovered 1947 diary entry continues:
?The Jews, I find, are very, very selfish. They care not how many Estonians, Latvians, Finns, Poles, Yugoslavs or Greeks get murdered or mistreated as D[isplaced] P[ersons] as long as the Jews get special treatment. Yet when they have power, physical, financial or political neither Hitler nor Stalin has anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment to the under dog. Put an underdog on top and it makes no difference whether his name is Russian, Jewish, Negro, Management, Labor, Mormon, Baptist he goes haywire. I've found very, very few who remember their past condition when prosperity comes.?
(this from the President that recognized Israel over the objections of the Joint Chiefs of Staff)
that might have been an opinion he had, but--
he dropped the bomb.
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
Yes, because Japan would not agree to "unconditional...
surrender," as they feared the Emperor would be tried for war crimes. In return, Truman ordered the incineration of the the two largest cities in Japan with Christian populations,carnage second only to Churchill's bombing of Dresden, which killed more people than both atom bombs combined.
they were both monsters--
I have just recently become aware that Churchill admitted that WWII could easily have been prevented--
but it wouldn't have suited the PTB--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
You keep using that word
(anti-Semitic) I don't think it means what you think it means.
How about you define what you think "Semitic" means, hmm?
Calling 1988vote "Anti-Semitic" and attempting to paint them as anti-Jewish (no, those two terms are NOT interchangeable, no matter how hard you believe they are) only shows how shallow your arguments really are.
Stop stating your opinions as facts, stop pulling assumptions from your rear, and stop attempting to alter the definitions of words.
Of course, if you *did* stop those three things, you'd have nary a thing to post.
A signature used to be here!
Mirriam-Webster and Dictinary.com definition of Anti-Semite...
Definition of ANTI-SEMITISM: hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group
I think you know perfectly well what Anti-Semitism means.
You're splitting hairs to avoid the subject.
"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."
-Ron Paul
I know exactly what it means.
Thank you very much.
And I'm more than fully aware of all the neonazi "versions" of what both mean.
Great, glad you know what it means, because...
Arabs are Semites too.
Now the question is...is Israel anti Semitic?
i had at one time
a congressional map from the 30's
this map showed israel as a nation already
i have looked all day just for you
also on this map it showed the world sectioned off
with different nations running the sections
If we deny truth before your very eyes,then the rest of what we have to say,is of little consequence

Anti-Hitler strip from wartime 'Beano' goes up for auction
An original 1943 comic strip from The Beano making fun of Adolf Hitler will go up for auction later this month after being rescued from a dumpster in the 1960s.
The Daily Express reports that the strip was created by cartoonist Dudley Watkins for The Beano #219 as part of a propaganda campaign to raise British spirits during World War II.
Comics A.M. | Wizard World Philadelphia's $5.9M economic impact
Conventions | While the South Jersey Times and Philadelphia Inquirer focus on the fans who turned out over the weekend for the 14th annual Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con, Philadelphia Business Journal zeroes in on its economic impact: an estimated $5.9 million, which seems like a lot, until you compare it to the expected $16.2 million impact of the 6,000-person American Industrial Hygiene Association conference. [Philadelphia Business Journal]

Comics A.M. | Rare copy of 'The Beano' #1 goes up for auction
Auctions | A rare copy of The Beano #1 from July 1938 — only about 25 copies are believed to exist — is being auctioned on eBay by Seaford, England, dealer Phil Shrimpton. With just four days remaining, the opening bid of £3,499 (about $5,875 U.S.) has yet to be met. As you can see on the website, the copy certainly isn't in the best shape. The issue, which sold a reported 442,963 copies when it was released, introduced such characters as original cover star Big Eggo the ostrich, Lord Snooty, Wee Peem and Ping the Elastic Man (the racist caricature in the magazine's logo is Little Peanut, who stuck around on the cover until 1947, when he was replaced by Big Eggo). "Every year or so another one seems to emerge – often found in someone's attic," Shrimpton says. "People didn't really look at comics as collector's items until the sixties and seventies, so lots of them got destroyed. Also a lot of the comics were destroyed during the war as people were more conscious about recycling the old issues." [The Argus]
Dundee, Scotland, unveils Bash Street sign
More than a year after city council approved the proposal, officials in Dundee, Scotland, today unveiled the sign for Bash Street, honoring the long-running comic strip from The Beano.
Created by U.K. cartoonist Leo Baxendale, the strip debuted on Feb. 13, 1954 as When the Bell Rings before becoming The Bash Street Kids in 1956. DC Thomson & Co., the Dundee-based publisher of The Beano, asked city council in November 2012 to name a previously unnamed road in the Marketgait area after the comic.
Comics A.M. | U.K. artists Gordon Bell & Tony Harding pass away
Passings | British cartoonist Gordon Bell has died at the age of 79. He was a contributor to DC Thomson's children's comics, including The Beano and The Dandy, in the 1960s and '70s; his creations include The Bash Street Pups. After that, he went on to become a political cartoonist (under the nom de plume Fax) for the Dundee, Scotland, newspaper The Courier, which is also apparently owned by DC Thomson. Lew Stringer has posted a sampling of his work at Blimey! [The Courier]
Passings | Another U.K. creator who drew for weekly children's comics, Anthony John "Tony" Harding, has also died. While Bell's work was on the goofy side, Harding drew soccer stories for action-packed boys' comics such as Bullet, Hornet and Victor. His best-known gig was as the artist for "Look Out for Lefty," the story of a hotheaded soccer player with a skinhead girlfriend, which got a bit too close to reality with its depictions of violence during soccer games. Again, Lew Stringer posts some of his work. [Down the Tubes]
Comics A.M. | Webcomics and proper credit in the viral age
Webcomics | Shaenon Garrity looks at the problem of webcomics going viral without any attribution to the artist or link back to the original site, often because that attribution has been stripped from the image itself. She cites the case of Rachel Dukes, whose "Life With/Out a Cat" comic racked up half a million views for the uncredited version, while the one with her signature received just 81,000. [The Comics Journal]
Retailing | Brian Hibbs, owner of Comix Experience in San Francisco, has announced he'll assumed ownership of Comic Outpost from Gary Buechler as of Monday. "It only took me 24 years to do it, but finally Comix Experience will have a second store!" Hibbs writes on Savage Critic. He goes into more detail on the Comic Outpost website, telling customer, "Comix Experience runs pretty differently from Comic Outpost, but I want to assure you that we have no intention of changing the essential nature of the Outpost. Customers dictate the kind of store that exists, and we'll be dedicated to bringing you the same passionate and engaged love-of-comics service you've received from Gary over the years!" [Savage Critic]
Comics A.M. | Digital comics' 'era of experimentation'
Digital comics | Jason Snell uses Comic-Con International as an opportunity to take a snapshot of digital comics in "an era of experimentation," and hones in on Madefire, the convention's embrace of technology, comiXology and the growing popularity of the digital-first model. "Digital has made us rethink how we fulfill books into the [print] retail market," Chris Ross, Top Shelf's director of digital publishing, said during a panel. [TechHive]
Legal | The Attorney-Generals Chambers of Singapore has charged cartoonist Leslie Chew (the pen name of Chew Peng Ee) with contempt of court because of four cartoons posted on his Facebook page Demon-cratic Singapore. A hearing on the charges, which could result in jail time and fines, will be held on Aug. 12. Chew's attorney M. Ravi said in a phone interview, "Our judiciary is not like fragile flowers to be offended easily by such criticism. We have full faith in the impartiality and independence of our judiciary." [Bloomberg News]
Digital 'Dandy' is gone for now, but maybe not forever
Word got out over the weekend that Issue 13 of the digital version of the venerable U.K. children's comic The Dandy would be the last. It seems to have started with a tweet from contributor Wilbur Dawbarn, who was relaying what his editors had told him. That prompted the editors to take to Facebook to deny (sort of) that the comic is dead:
A DC Thomson spokesperson said, "The Digital Dandy team has worked hard to produce an interactive and engaging App. While the digital comic has delivered its promised mixture of daft, dramatic and different stories, the technology and format have let us down.
"For this reason, we're suspending the existing App. Discussions and planning are already underway to re-examine The Dandy's digital offerings. It is still too early to announce what form this next stage will take but we would like to reassure readers that The Dandy remains a very important part of the company's plans for the future."
You can include me as one of the people who was not enamored of the latest digital Dandy, and I'm a longtime fan — I grew up reading it, and I still treasure an almost-complete run of the annuals from the 1970s. I was thrilled with Dandy's original iPad app, which was serviceable and basically identical to the Beano app: You could buy a digital version of the print comic from the storefront, with no bells and whistles, and it worked fine.
Comics A.M. | DC Comics confirms loss of pulp hero licenses
Publishing | Pulp heroes The Spirit, Doc Savage and The Avenger disappeared from the DC Comics lineup more than a year ago, with Co-Publisher Dan DiDio now confirming on his Facebook page that the company's rights to the characters have lapsed. Brian Azzarello paired the vintage characters with Batman, Black Canary, the Blackhawks and other current DC heroes in his First Wave miniseries, which launched in 2010. Heidi MacDonald adds, "we've heard that at WB it was pointed out that DC paying good money to license old characters didn't make much sense when they had their own catalog of little-used characters to exploit." [Blog@Newsarama]
Digital comics | As noted here Monday, comiXology was No. 3 on the list of top-grossing iPad apps of 2012, and in the press release announcing this, the comiXology folks dropped another number on us: They have served more than 2 billion pages since their launch three years ago. [comiXology]
Comics A.M. | Scottish city to create Bash Street to honor Beano strip
Comics | The Dundee, Scotland, city council has approved a proposal by publisher DC Thomson to name a street in the city's west end to honor the Bash Street Kids, stars of the long-running comic strip in The Beano. Dundee already has statues honoring comic characters Desperate Dan and Minnie the Minx. [BBC News]
Comics | Laura Sneddon continues the New Statesmen's week-long series on comics with a look at children's comics in the U.K., including the digital relaunch of The Dandy, the continuing popularity of The Beano (which sells a respectable 30,000 copies per week) and the new kid on the block, The Phoenix. [New Statesman]
Comics A.M. | Scottish city may honor Beano characters
Comics | Scottish publisher DC Thomson has asked Dundee City Council to rename a street in the city's west end to honor the Bash Street Kids, stars of the long-running comic strip in The Beano. An unnamed street adjacent to 142/144 West Marketgait would be called Bash Street as part of the celebration of the magazine's 75th anniversary. [LocalGov]
Retailing | North Hollywood will get a new comics shop on Nov. 10, when Blastoff Comics opens its doors. Owner Jud Meyers seems to think it is an essential part of a hip neighborhood: "They want restaurants, they want bars, they want supermarkets, they want gyms. What didn't they have? They don't have a comic book store, every neighborhood has got to have a comic book store." The opening will feature an assortment of comics guests, including Mark Waid, Greg Hurwitz, and Jim Kreuger, whose The High Cost of Happily Ever After will premiere at the event. [Patch.com]
What Are You Reading? with Caleb Goellner
Hello and welcome to another edition of What Are You Reading? Our guest today is Caleb Goellner, pug lover and senior editor of ComicsAlliance.

Across the Pond | A roundup of U.K. comics news
The long-lived children's comic The Beano has a new look (and a new subtitle: The Beano starring Dennis the Menace and Gnasher). Comics artist Lew Stringer takes a look inside at some of the changes. Nigel Parkinson takes over on Dennis the Menace, who will start to be menacing again; his character was watered down a while ago, but apparently the editors have started listening to 8-year-old boys, which is a good thing in this case. And several of the long-lived comics have had art changes. Only 19 of this issue's 36 pages are comics, though.
• Stringer also reviews a history of The Dandy, which has the same parentage as The Beano but in recent years has become the edgier of the two (i.e. more fart jokes). It looks like The Beano may be evening things out a bit in that regard. John Freeman posts a lengthier review of the book at Down the Tubes.
• Jeremy Briggs talks to the organizers of Carlisle Mega-Con, a new convention taking place next weekend. As the organizers are also staffers at the local Waterstone's, they have some insight into local tastes; interestingly, manga and superhero comics are both popular, but customers really prefer "genre books with a dark edge to them such as Vertigo."
British Royal Mail features comics characters on stamps
Britain's Royal Mail is releasing a set of 10 stamps today featuring a diverse group of comics characters from British comics. They're available to those outside the U.K. as well and feature internationally famous characters like Judge Dredd and Dan Dare in addition to less-known folks like Roy Race and The Four Marys. There's also a Dennis the Menace in the set (he's the one appearing in front of the Beano comic), but don't confuse him with the U.S. character created by Hank Ketcham. Though both characters debuted within a week of each other in March 1951, they're different boys.
To see the full gallery of stamps, visit the BBC website.
Comics A.M. | Another delay for Spider-Man? CCI hotel reservations
Broadway | The New York Times reports the producers of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark are considering delaying the $65 million musical for a sixth time, until as late as June, a move that would make the show ineligible for this year's Tony Awards. Speculation about another possible postponement follows a wave of scathing reviews, reports that comics writer and playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa had been approached to rewrite the book, and the hiring of veteran conductor and musical supervisor Paul Bogaev to help improve the production. A spokesman for the show would only say that, "Opening night remains scheduled for March 15." [ArtsBeat]
Comic-Con | Hotel reservations for Comic-Con International will open at 9 a.m. PT on March 9. A preliminary list of hotels included in the Comic-Con block is available on the convention website. [Comic-Con International]

Results of an early-stage clinical trial of an investigational malaria vaccine from Sanaria Inc., published in the journal Science, indicate that it is safe and effective in healthy adults. Researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, and the Naval Medical Research Center conducted the Phase I trial of 57 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 45 who have never contracted malaria, 40 of whom received the PfSPZ Vaccine. Those who were vaccinated were divided into groups that received two to six intravenous doses at increasing dosages, with those receiving higher doses generating more antibodies and T cells. Both the vaccinated and control groups were exposed to bites from five mosquitoes carrying the malaria strain used to develop the vaccine, but none of the infections that occurred—in three out of 15 participants who received higher vaccine doses, 16 of the 17 participants who received lower doses, and 11 of the 12 participants in the control group who were not vaccinated—were related to the vaccine. However, the fact that the vaccine currently is administered intravenously poses a challenge for researchers

AEP to change coal plant to gas
POSTED: 7:36 AM May 30 2013 UPDATED: 11:33 AM May 30 2013
Appalachian Power is requesting approval to convert a coal fired power plant in Russell County, Virginia to operate with natural gas.
If approved, the project is expected to generate the equivalent of 267 short-term job and 117 long-term jobs at the Clinch River Plant.
The project is expected to generate nearly $1 million in taxes for Russell County every year.
Appalachian Power officials say changing two of the three generating units from coal to natural gas is the cheapest way to meet customers' need.
If the proposal is accepted, the transition will cost the company about $65 million.

Global Citizenship to the Forefront
There are many words that I think of as "buzz words" around my own university's campus. These are words that are often said and discussed, but not necessarily applied to daily life in a tangible way. One of the words that comes to mind most easily is global citizenship. I have often wondered what this word means to me and to all those who are considered global citizens, which would be everyone.
In my first week at the International Summer School here in Oslo, and during the week prior to this in Lillehammer, I have truly begun to grasp the idea of global citizenship and have seen it played out in front of me. Never before have I had the opportunity to share meals and conversations with people from 96 different countries everyday—bringing to light the many ways that we are uniquely different and incredibly similar, all at the same time.
While reflecting on this newly realized meaning of global citizenship, I have been reminded of a statement made by Chief Albert Luthuli in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in 1961, calling all people to join together to work for peace. "May the day come soon, when the peoples of the world will rouse themselves, and together effectively stamp out any threat to peace, in whatever quarter of the world it may be found. When that day comes, there shall be peace on earth and goodwill between men." Not only have I been reminded of the importance of global citizenship by Luthuli's speech and by the many people that have found a common place with here at ISS, but I have also been reminded of this idea as I learn more about Norway. Though this may be a small country in the grand scheme, there is a common feeling of contributing to the greater good, of being part of something bigger than our national borders. In what has been less than two weeks here in Norway, Norwegians, Luthuli, and my peers have become an inspiration to me to put my global citizenship into action.

Location & area
Turkbuku & Bodrum
Midway along the peninsula's north shore, nestled in a huge bay are the two quaint villages of Turkbuku and Golkoy. Safely tucked in the surrounding hillsides on the west side of the bay and sheltered by two islands the village of Turkbuku is a natural haven for area fishermen, who still operate from the many wooden jetties along the beachfront. Just outside the bay are popular fishing grounds for dil baligi, or sole. Further on, at the foot of the bay, the village of Golkoy occupies a verdant green valley fronted by a long sandy beach with small pensions and restaurants. The delights of Golkoy are many, but perhaps foremost among them is the ability, to enjoy the quiet native atmosphere of fishermen, farmers and tradesmen going about their daily tasks with little concern for the noise and hustle and bustle of modern life.
In Bodrum you can visit the castle, Antique Theatre and museums.Night time you can enjoy the bars Gumbet and Bodrum Bar str.Also do not forget to go for shopping to Oasis Shoping Centre(open all day till 23:00)open bazaar in Bodrum on Tuesday&Thursday(All day) open bazaar in Turgutreis on Saturday(All day).

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

What San Diego Can Learn From San Francisco's Minimum Wage Bump

San Diego is joining a growing movement of cities using local policies to counter rising income inequality and falling real wages.
City Council President Todd Gloria, other Council members and a community coalition called Raise Up San Diego announced plans to put a comprehensive measure on the November ballot in support of earned sick days and an increase in the minimum wage.
Research on earned sick days and on the higher minimum wage rate in San Francisco shed important light on the economic impacts when cities raise the low-wage floor.
Ten years ago, San Francisco became the first city in the U.S. to enact a city-wide minimum wage ordinance. The wage floor, now $10.74, is indexed to maintain buying power over time. More than 50,000 workers received higher pay as a result of the law, and low-wage workers earnings increased by an estimated $1.2 billion over the next decade.
The minimum wage law enabled San Francisco to buck a national trend of declining real wages (meaning adjusted for inflation) for workers at the bottom of the income spectrum. Between 2003 and 2013, real wages for low-paid workers stagnated and then fell in surrounding Bay Area counties and the rest of the country. But in San Francisco, wages rose.
The city also passed a paid sick leave ordinance in 2006. Workers earn one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked. While employers initially expressed concern about San Francisco's ordinance, a survey after the law was implemented found broad employer support.
Critics warned that these laws would kill jobs and hurt economic development – just like opponents are now doing in San Diego. Extensive academic research on San Francisco's policies, however, found wages and benefits improved significantly for tens of thousands of people without hurting employment or the economy.
From the first quarter of 2004, when the minimum wage ordinance took effect, to the first quarter of 2011, employment in restaurants, the industry most affected by the law, increased by 17 percent in San Francisco, compared with 13 percent in neighboring Bay Area counties without raised wages.
San Francisco's experience is not unique. Economists from universities across the country compared hundreds of pairs of counties with different minimum wage rates across state borders over a 16-year period. They found the same thing: Minimum wages raised incomes without harming employment.
In a separate study using similar methods, University of Massachusetts, Amherst professor Arindrajit Dube also found that raising the minimum wage was an effective strategy to reduce poverty. The $10.10 national minimum wage proposed by Sen. Tom Harkin and Rep. George Miller would reduce the number of people in poverty by 4.6 million.
But how did San Fransisco pay for higher wages? Workers stayed in their jobs longer, generating savings to employers on turnover costs. Another source of savings came from improved performance.
After a mandated wage increase at the San Francisco International Airport, employers reported reduced absenteeism and grievances, improved morale and better customer service.
Consumers absorbed the rest of the costs through slightly higher prices at restaurants. After the 26 percent minimum wage increase, prices in San Francisco restaurants rose 2 to 3 percent more than in similar restaurants across the bay. Price increases in other sectors were negligible.
Since San Francisco passed its minimum wage ordinance, eight other cities and counties, including San Jose, have done the same. Many more cities are currently considering their own proposals. Five other cities and Connecticut have adopted earned sick days policies.
These policies make good economic sense, especially in cities that have higher-than-average costs of living.
The California minimum wage, even after the scheduled increases, will stay low by historical standards, and it isn't indexed for inflation.
Jobs that pay too little for families to live on continue to pose a major problem for local economies. City-based policies can be part of the solution.

A local increase in minimum wage should be county wide, not city wide.
Another situation to keep an eye on - Seattle's mayor is proposing raising their minimum wage to $15 p/h
My buddy Jim Bass, he works pumping gas. He makes $2.50 an hour. He's got rhythm in hands as he's beating on the cans. He sings rock and roll in the shower.
John Stewart
@ToddGloria Funny how no outrage over sky-high rent and gas but God forbid you pay people enough to afford to live here and work for you.
@ToddGloria Wages for legal professionals like me are around $12-18/hr. I earn more but barely afford rent. Wages must match cost of living
@ToddGloria ...we are just "reacting" to inflation, not responding to it. Trace the root issue... :)
San Francisco was already geographically small, and expensive tourist town, with convenient public transportation from the outlying areas. For example, Forbes Island restaurants costs are not dominated by the dishwasher labor. In addition, some labor, such as sole proprietor food carts do not have employees, and are off the books. San Francisco hotels are not cheap, and costs are not dominated by maid money. San Diego could raise the minimum wage downtown and in La Jolla with good results, but not in Kearny Mesa and Mira Mesa.
I note several comments here that generally disparage this commentary based on sarcasm and suggestions that these individuals are biased. I note no comments that refer us to data which refute their asserted facts and conclusions. It's always frustrating to see a cherished belief refuted, but if you disagree with the bases of the commentary please give me tangible arguments, not political dogma.
Figures lie and liars figure.
In the latest financial news tonight, Venezuela just raised its minimum wage by 30%! Surely we San Diegans can do better than that.
pure fecal matter more citizens will not be able to afford going to a restaurant or staying in a san diego hotel.. less tourists for san diego more for cities with cheaper hotel rates .. less jobs and more poverty and homelessness as has pappened doring the lasdt 5 ears in sam diego .. greenwald 4 California governor 2014 if its brown flushit down !!
pensioners and the working families .. full time college students are forced out of san francisco
what a farce there are more homeless and people living in poverty than in the last 10 years.. san Francisco is unaffordable for 67% of the citizens living there!!
I may very well support and vote for the wage increase. But not for the biased "research" a couple of pro labor liberal academics put forward.
If we want to slow population growth in this sector (lower income) a closed shop may very well be the way to do it.
San Diego has way too many people and far to rapid of population growth.
Yes those with money from tech industry boom helped to pay the wages. Prices at restaurants went up too. Basically inflation. How long is it going to last? tech bubble 2 is about to pop. We need to be competitive with machines that are replacing people (see self check out? just need 1 person to manage 4 of them instead of 4 cashiers). It is unfortunate cost of living is high. I think rent control might be the option, as this will help businesses stay open - look how quickly businesses turn over and bellyflop in downtown/hillcrest and north park. THe 1% includes slum lords
How many high school kids, are supporting families?
Mr. Kimball: What is your evidence to support the statement that, "San Diego could raise the minimum wage downtown and in La Jolla with good results, but not in Kearny Mesa and Mira Mesa."
@Chris Brewster The reason why restaurants have increased employment in San Francisco is because the Silicon Valley wealth is living in San Francisco and going out to eat more often in higher priced restaurants. This masks the damage in the union-driven minimum wage hike explosion
@Grammie According to this USA Today article, more than half of the fast food workers are also on public assistance. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2013/10/29/how-you-subsidize-the-minimum-wage/3295759/
The Earned Income Tax Credit helps, too
Apparently about 45% of the minimum wage workers are over 25, 49% of the people making less than minimum wage (jobs with tips/ some agricultural jobs, etc) http://www.bls.gov/cps/minwage2012.pdf
@Jim Jones According to an article in the Seattle Times, there's another study by Nicolas Potter from the University of New Mexico that looked at basically the same effect in Santa Fe. The article also claims the Berkeley study looked at 8 cities, and 21 states. Joseph Sabia of SDSU has a study which has very different findings than either Berkeley or New Mexico studies.
In other words, economic theory can be murky.
@Chris Brewster You obviously are ignoring the laws of supply and demand as influenced by the forces of competition, and are incapable of estimating business operating costs share based on labor, unless someone else tells you in a some peer reviewed journal paper. All your statements indicate that you are unwilling to make any mathematical estimates on your own, and are thus lacking in the application of critical thinking skills required for a reasoned debate. This is intentional on your part, especially given the very high price of real estate in San Francisco, for which I have submitted no evidence.
Ms. Forsberg: Firstly, any evidence of this or are you simply expressing an opinion? Secondly, you state that, "This masks the damage in the union-driven minimum wage hike explosion." Two questions: 1) What damage? 2) What explosion?
Thank you for adding emphasis to my point.
@Jim Jones Hey Jim, sounds like you've been reading up on that old insurance executive Charles Ives. His big thing was developing Estate Planning. Anyway, he proposed that there should be cap on individual property. I think he wrote that around 1916.
@Jim Jones @Grammie It's a good thing that the teen pregnancy rate have dropped so dramatically. It's almost half of what it was in 1960. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db89.pdf
Mr. Kimball: I appreciate that you are of the view that I am lacking in the application of critical thinking skills. You opinions in that regard notwithstanding, I am merely asking for the basis for your statement.
Mr. Jones: More unsubstantiated hyperbole. Who says there will be any increase in unemployment. Got any evidence of that? According to 600 economists:
"In recent years there have been important developments in the academic literature on the effect of increases in the minimum wage on employment, with the weight of evidence now showing that increases in the minimum wage have had little or no negative effect on the employment of minimum-wage workers, even during times of weakness in the labor market."
Got it. I personally like the Ron Unz justification (i.e. don't let employers pay so little that we end up subsidizing them through social welfare programs).
- "The wage was indexed and is now $10.74."
Much as the state has proposed. Like I said I consider that prudent. Assumption that ours goes to the proposed increase that would be a large % jump.
"While employers initially expressed concern, a survey after the law was implemented found broad employer support."
That statement is nebulous. Define Broad support
-" Since the minimum wage ordinance took effect employment has increased 17% in SF versus 13% in neighboring cities."
OK. how much minimum wage vs higher paying jobs. No breakdown.
Looks like cherry picking to me.
Like I said in another post I may very well support this but for a different reason.
I'm not trying to refute the "facts" as much as I'm saying their Key facts are ambiguous and do not go into much depth leaving .
In addition there is no figures on how many businesses increased or decreased and whether those increase decrease were in larger higher end or in small operations
Mr. Giffin: My interest is mostly in the underlying data which, as I have noted, no one seems to be able to refute here. Instead, there is a lot of opinion and so on. Here are some key facts they have laid out. Do you believe them to be untrue? You could request a fact check.
- 10 years ago SF was first to create a city minimum wage ordinance.
- The wage was indexed and is now $10.74.
- 50,000+ workers received higher pay as a result of the law.
- Between 2003 and 2013, real wages for low-paid workers stagnated and then fell in surrounding Bay Area counties and the rest of the country. But in San Francisco, wages rose.
- The city also passed a paid sick leave ordinance in 2006.
- While employers initially expressed concern, a survey after the law was implemented found broad employer support.
- Since the minimum wage ordinance took effect employment has increased 17% in SF versus 13% in neighboring cities.
- Similar situations have been found elsewhere in the country.
- The $10.10 national minimum wage proposed by Sen. Tom Harkin and Rep. George Miller would reduce the number of people in poverty by 4.6 million.
The study referenced was by a group that is pro-labor and extremely biased thus is very suspect.
Junk Science? Sure looks like agenda backed B.S. . Read the guys bio on wikipedia
One of the authors, Michael Reich, was a founding member of the Union for Radical Political Economics (URPE).
They are in a nut shell....socialists.
Precisely. Versus the study referenced in this article.
To cherry pick a couple of your comments: "most reasonable people realize [the correctness of your point of view." and "No amount of common sense will convince someone [who doesn't share your point of view]." That is argument, not evidence.
@Jim Jones Yup, for most people, if they are lucky enough to own their own home, it is their largest investment. You are sounding more and more like that old insurance mogul. He wasn't being sarcastic, though.
@Jim Jones @-P I don't think he was referring just to land, but to personal wealth in general.
@Grammie @-P How many rhetorical questions equal a statement? The article lays out a clear picture that would justify a minimum wage increase. It looks like charity but it ends up benefitting employees and employers alike. It's an opinion piece and labeled as such.
"But most of those employees are dumb kids! How are they going to build character if they're able to earn a living wage?"
@Jim Jones @-P After that explanation, I'm thinking that I should vote for it. After all if it affects very few people, and has such a minimal effect then what harm can it do?

Carnival's announcement on Thursday that it was pulling out of Mobile, Alabama shocked local officials, who were given no advance notice, the Mobile Press-Register reports this morning.
The news outlet says the line's unexpected departure after seven years will leave the city with no direct revenue to pay off millions in debt that it took on to build the cruise terminal that Carnival uses.
"I'm a little bewildered," the Press-Register quotes the head of Alabama's port authority, Jimmy Lyons, as saying. "To the best of my knowledge, they were filling up every voyage."
RELATED: Carnival to end cruises out of Mobile, Alabama
GALLERY: A photo tour of the ships of Carnival Cruise Lines
The news outlet says Carnival didn't call city officials before announcing online that the 2,052-passenger Carnival Elation would leave the city in October to move to New Orleans.
"We really thought, for us, that was an inappropriate way to do it," the news outlet quotes Mobile major Sam Jones as saying.
The 13-year-old Elation has been operating four-, five- and seven-night cruises out of Mobile, and is the only cruise vessel sailing out of the city. Its last trip out of Mobile will be on Oct. 22.
In a statement on Thursday, Carnival president and CEO Gerry Cahill said the line had been unable to achieve favorable financial results with the Ecstasy in Mobile.
"Although we have consistently filled the ship, it has been at lower relative pricing to the rest of our fleet," Cahill said. "We have made every effort to drive higher demand and pricing through our sales and marketing initiatives and the deployment of a newer class of ship in 2009. However, we have not been successful in achieving a sustainable level of acceptable pricing."
Cahill also noted that itineraries from Mobile require much higher relative fuel costs than itineraries from other home ports due to the town's location, and fuel costs will become even more unfavorable with the implementation of new environmental regulations in the region starting in 2012.
"We would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to everyone in the Mobile community for the friendship and support we have received during the past six years," Cahill said.
Cruise Loggers, share your thoughts below.

1 Cup Grated Fels Naptha Soap
1/2 Cup Washing Soda
1/2 Cup Borax
Mix. For light load, use 1 tablespoon. For heavy or heavily soiled load, use 2 tablespoons.
That's funny that we both posted about Homemade Laundry detergent for Frugal Friday! I will have to try the powdered version. The liquid soap was very easy to make. I used Ivory soap, which added a nice fragrance.
Hi Melissa,
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I really do like using the washcloths. They do absorb better and I can rinse them out quickly for another use. I am also thrilled that I don't have to spend that much more money on paper towels!
I also tried making the powdered laundry soap as you have mentioned. Although I used it up very quickly! I haven't made another batch since although I have lots of ingredients left!I guess with all the great sales on the other detergents, I switched back :- I should get back to that :)
Have a great weekend!
I have been making that version of laundry soap for many years. I wouldn't go back to the store-bought stuff! I love this stuff!
I have LOTS of tips on my blog for ways to save money. Many of them are for things like body care items (deodorant, liquid hand soaps, body sugar scrubs), but also cleaners and lots of recipe mixes for things like bbq sauce, taco mix, dry onion soup, etc. I hope you stop by and take a look! I'm sure you'll find some more things to help you cut your expenses.
I've been looking to make my own laundry detergent for awhile, but I've had a terrible time finding washing soda. Luckily, I have found that vinegar boosts the effectiveness of my current detergent, but I hope to try yours soon!
Is this safe for newer HE top-load washing machines?
i was wondering how to make this laundry soap thanks for sharing im gonna try this tide is just getting to expensive thanks

Nixstaller 0.5: Installation Assistant for Linux and Co.
Nixstaller is conceived as an installation kit for Unix systems and conducts dependency tests and supports UTF-8.
The new dependency manager establishes the installation configuration and installs said configurations according to the user's wish. With the new UTF-8 support, the project has expanded software localization. At the user's specification, Nixstaller is capable of incorporating the user's given application software language. Among the new additions is the current option to incorporate an autonomous installation process that does not require user interaction.
Software developers are able to control and view installations or to allow installation to proceed automatically with the use of Nixstaller. For controlled installation, Nixstaller enables three separate interfaces: the text-based Ncurses, the X11 based FLTK, and a GTK+2 based interface. When a user activates the controlled, diagramed installation a series of screens are displayed which can be configured using text boxes and prompts according to preference. In contrast, the automatic installation option is executed via paramaters the programmer sets on the command line. Further information is available on the project website, in addition to Tarball, the version available for download (with Nixstaller installation script included, of course). The installer works with the MIT licensed script Lua, which first appeared in 1993.
The name Nixstaller refers to the project goal of making Nixstaller compatible with as many Unix systems as possible. As a further technical goal, the project seeks to increase efficiency by making the compressed version as close to the original version as possible. In addition, the installer requires few other packets. On the project website, Opensuse 11.1 and Fedora 10, Debian Lenny, or Ubuntu 8.10 are listed as being supported by Nixstaller.
