Oirats (Mongolian: Ойрад, Oirad[needs IPA]; in the past, also Eleuths[1]) are the westernmost group of the Mongols whose ancestral home is in the Altai region of western Mongolia. Although the Oirats originated in the eastern parts of Central Asia, the most prominent group today is located in the Republic of Kalmykia, a federal subject of the Russian Federation, where they are called Kalmuks—the correct pronunciation and spelling of the name. The Kalmuks migrated from Dzungaria to the southeastern European part of the Russian Federation in the early 17th century.
Historically, the Oirats were composed of four major tribes: Dzungar (Choros or Ööled), Torghut, Dörbet, and Khoshut. The minor tribes include: Khoid, Bayads, Myangad, Zakhchin, Baatud. The name probably means "oi" (forest) and "ard" (person)[2] but it may also derive from Mongolian word "oirt" (or "oirkhon") meaning "close (as in distance)," as in "close/nearer ones." They are counted among the "forest people" in the 13th century.
Writing system[edit]
In the 17th century, Zaya Pandita,[3] a Gelug monk of the Khoshut tribe, devised a new writing system called Todo Bichig (clear script) for use by the Oirat people. This system was developed on the basis of the older Mongolian script, but had a more developed system of diacritics to exclude misreading, and reflected some lexic and grammar differences of the Oirat language from Mongolian.
The Todo Bichig writing system remained in use in Kalmykia (Russia) until the mid-1920s when it was replaced by a Latin-based script, and later the Cyrillic alphabet. It can be seen in some public signs in the Kalmyk capital, Elista, and is superficially taught in schools. In Mongolia it was likewise replaced by the Cyrillic alphabet in 1941. Some Oirats in China still use Todo Bichig as their primary writing system, as well as Mongolian script.
The Oirats share some history, geography, culture and language with the Eastern Mongols,[disambiguation needed] and were at various times united under the same leader as a larger Mongol entity — whether that ruler was of Oirat descent.
The name Oirat may derive from a corruption of the group's original name Dörben Öörd, meaning "The Allied Four." Perhaps inspired by the designation Dörben Öörd, other Mongols at times used the term "Döchin Mongols" for themselves ("Döchin" meaning forty), but there was rarely as great a degree of unity among larger numbers of tribes as among the Oirats.
Comprising the Khoshut (Хошууд Hošuud), Choros or Ölöt (Өөлд Ööld), Torghut (Торгууд Torguud), and Dörbet (Дөрвөд Dörvöd) tribes, they were dubbed Kalmyk or Kalmak, which means "remnant" or "to remain", by their western Turkic neighbours. Various sources also list the Bargut, Buzava, Khereid, and Naiman tribes as comprising part of the Dörben Öörd; some tribes may have joined the original four only in later years. This name may however reflect the Kalmyks' remaining Buddhist rather than converting to Islam; or the Kalmyks' remaining in then Altay region when the Turkic peoples migrated to the West.
Early history[edit]
One of the earliest mentions of the Oirat people in a historical text can be found in The Secret History of the Mongols, the 13th century chronicle of Genghis Khan's rise to power. In the Secret History, the Oirats are counted among the "forest people" and are said to live under the rule of a shaman-chief known as bäki. They lived in Tuva and Mongolian Khövsgöl Province and the Oirats moved to the south in the 14th century.[4]
In one famous passage the Oirat chief, Quduqa Bäki, uses a yada or 'thunder stone' to unleash a powerful storm on Genghis' army. The magical ploy backfires however, when an unexpected wind blows the storm back at Quduqa. During early stages of Temujin Genghis's rise, Oirats under Quduqa bekhi fought against Genghis and were defeated. Oirats were fully submitted to Mongol rule after their ally Jamukha, Temujin's rival/friend was destroyed. Subject to the khan Oirats would form themselves as a loyal and formidable faction of the Mongol war machine. In 1207, Jochi the eldest son of Genghis, subjugated the forest tribes including the Oirats and the Kyrgyzs. The Great Khan gave those people to his son, Jochi, and had one of his daughters, Checheygen, married the Oirat chief Khutug-bekhi or his son. There were notable Oirats in the Mongol Empire such as Arghun Agha and his son Nowruz. In 1256, a body of the Oirats under Bukha-Temür joined Hulagu's expedition to Iran and fought against Hashshashins, Abbasids in Persia. The Ilkhan Hulagu and his successor Abagha resettled them in Turkey. And they took part in the Second Battle of Homs where the Mongols were defeated.[5] The majority of the Oirats, who were left behind, supported Ariq Böke against Kublai in the Toluid Civil War. Kublai defeated his younger brother and they entered the service of the victor. In 1295, more than 10,000 Oirats under Targhai Khurgen (son-in-law of the Borjigin family) fled Syria, then under the Mamluks because they were despised by both Muslim Mongols and local Turks. They were well received by the Egyptian Sultan Al-Adil Kitbugha of Oirat origin.[6] Ali Pasha, who was the governor of Baghdad, head of an Oirat ruling family, killed Ilkhan Arpa Keun, resulting in the disintegration of Mongol Persia. Due to the fact that the Oirats were near both the Chagatai Khanate and the Golden Horde, they had strong ties with them and many Mongol khans had Oirat wives.
After the expulsion of the Yuan dynasty from China, the Oirats revived in history as a loose alliance of the four major West Mongolian tribes (Dörben Oirad). The alliance grew, taking power in the remote region of the Altai Mountains, northwest of Hami oasis. Gradually they spread eastward, annexing territories then under the control of the Eastern Mongols, and hoping to reestablish a unified nomadic rule under their banner.
The greatest ruler of the Four Oirats (Mongolian: Дөрвөн Ойрaд) was Esen Tayisi who led the Four Oirats from 1438 to 1454, during which time he unified Mongolia (both Inner and Outer) under his rule. In 1449 Esen Tayisi mobilized his cavalry along the Chinese border and invaded Ming China, defeating and destroying the Ming defenses at the Great Wall and the reinforcements sent to intercept his cavalry. In the process, the Zhengtong Emperor was captured at Tumu. The following year, Esen returned the emperor. After claiming the title of khan, to which only lineal descendants of Genghis Khan could claim, Esen was deposed. Shortly afterwards, Oirat power declined.
From the 14th until the middle of the 18th century, the Oirats were often at war with the Eastern Mongols. Illustrative of this history is the Oirat epic song, 'The Rout of Mongolian Sholoi Ubushi Khong Tayiji', about the war between the Oirats and the first Altan Khan of the Khalkha.
The Khoshut Khanate[edit]
The Oirats converted to Tibetan Buddhism around 1615, and it was not long before they became involved in the conflict between the Gelug and Karma Kagyu schools. At the request of the Gelug school, in 1637, Güshi Khan, the leader of the Khoshuts in Koko Nor, defeated Choghtu Khong Tayiji, the Khalkha prince who supported the Karma Kagyu school, and conquered Amdo (present-day Qinghai). The unification of Tibet followed in 1641, with Güshi Khan proclaimed Khan of Tibet by the Fifth Dalai Lama. The title "Dalai Lama" itself was bestowed upon the third lama of the Gelug tulku lineage by Altan Khan (not to be confused with the Altan Khans of the Khalkha), and means, in Mongolian, "Ocean of Wisdom."
Amdo, meanwhile, became home to the Khoshuts. In 1717, the Dzungars invaded Tibet and killed Lha-bzang Khan (or Khoshut Khan), a grandson of Güshi Khan and the fourth Khan of Tibet.
The Qing Empire conquered Upper Mongolia or the Oirat's Khoshut Khanate in the 1720s. In 1723 Lobzang Danjin, another descendant of Güshi Khan, defended Amdo against Manhchu-Qing Dynasty's attempts to extend its rule into Tibet, but was crushed in the following year and 80,000 people were killed.[7] By that period, Upper Mongolian population reached 200,000. Thus, Amdo fell under Manchu domination.
The Dzungar Khanate[edit]
The 17th century saw the rise in power of another Oirat empire in the east, known as the Khanate of Dzungaria, which stretched from the Great Wall of China to present-day eastern Kazakhstan, and from present-day northern Kyrgyzstan to southern Siberia. It was the last empire of the Great Nomads of Asia, which was ruled by Choros noblemen.
The Qing (or Manchu) conquered China in the mid-17th century and sought to protect its northern border by continuing the divide-and-rule policy their Ming predecessors had successfully instituted against the Mongols. The Manchu consolidated their rule over the East Mongols of Manchuria. They then persuaded the East Mongols of Inner Mongolia to submit themselves as vassals. Finally, the East Mongols of Outer Mongolia sought the protection of the Manchu against the Dzungars.
Some scholars estimate that about 80% of the Dzungar population were destroyed by a combination of warfare and disease during the Dzungar genocide due to the Manchu-Qing conquest of Dzungaria in 1755-1757.[8] The Zunghar population reached 600,000 in 1755.
The main population of the Choros, Olot, Khoid, Baatud, Zakhchin Oirats who battled against the Qing were killed by the Manchu soldiers and after the fall of the Dzungar Khanate they became small ethnic groups. There were 600,000 Khalkha Mongols and 1,100,000 Oirats in 1755 and now 2,3 million Khalkha and 638,372 Oirats live in four counties while a few hundred Choros people live in Mongolia
Kho Orlok, tayishi of the Torghuts, and Dalai Tayishi of Dorbets, led their people (200,000-250,000 people, mainly Torghuts) westward (Volga River) in 1607 and they established the Kalmyk Khanate. By some accounts this move was precipitated by internal divisions or by the Khoshut tribe; other historians believe it more likely the migrating clans were seeking pastureland for their herds, scarce in the Central Asian highlands. Part of the Khoshut and Ölöt tribes would join the migration almost a century later. The Kalmyk migration had reached as far as the steppes of southeast Europe by 1630. At the time, that area was inhabited by the Nogai Horde. But under pressure from Kalmyk warriors, the Nogais fled to the Crimea and the Kuban River. Many other nomadic peoples in the Eurasian steppes subsequently became vassals of the Kalmyk Khanate, part of which is in the area of present-day Kalmykia.[9]
The Kalmyks became Russian ally and a treaty to protect Southern Russian border was signed between the Kalmyk Khanate and Russia. Later they became nominal, then full subjects of the Russian Tsar. In 1724 the Kalmyks came under control of Russia. By the early 18th century, there were approximately 300-350,000 Kalmyks and 15,000,000 Russians.[10] The Tsardom of Russia gradually chipped away at the autonomy of the Kalmyk Khanate. These policies, for instance, encouraged the establishment of Russian and German settlements on pastures the Kalmyks used to roam and feed their livestock. The Russian Orthodox church, by contrast, pressured Buddhist Kalmyks to adopt Orthodoxy. In January 1771 the oppression of czarist administration forced the larger part of Kalmyks (33 thousands households or approximately 170 thousands men) to migrate to Dzungaria.[11] 200,000 (170,000)[12] Kalmyks began the migration from their pastures on the left bank of the Volga River to Dzungaria, through the territories of their Bashkir and Kazakh enemies. The last Kalmyk khan Ubashi led the migration to restore the Zunghar Khanate and Mongolian independence.[12] As C.D Barkman notes "It is quite clear that the Torghuts had not intended to surrender the Chinese, but had hoped to lead an independent existence in Dzungaria".[13] Ubashi Khan sent his 30,000 cavalries to the Russo-Turkish War in 1768-1769 to gain weapon before the migration. The Empress Catherine the Great ordered the Russian army, Bashkirs and Kazakhs to exterminate all migrants and Catherine the Great abolished the Kalmyk Khanate.[12][14][15] The Kyrgyzs attacked them near Balkhash Lake. About 100,000-150,000 Kalmyks who settled on the west bank of the Volga River couldn't cross the river because the river didn't freeze in the winter of 1771 and Catherine the Great executed influential nobles of them.[12] After seven months of travel, only one-third (66,073)[12] of the original group reached Dzungaria (Balkhash Lake, western border of the Manchu-Qing Empire).[16] The Manchu-Qing Empire transmigrated the Kalmyks to five different areas to prevent their revolt and influential leaders of the Kalmyks died soon (killed by the Manchus). Following the Russian revolution their settlement was accelerated, Buddhism stamped out and herds collectivised.
On 22 January 1922 Mongolia proposed to migrate the Kalmyks during famine in Kalmykia but Russia refused.71-72,000 (93,000?; around half of the population) Kalmyks died during the famine.[17] The Kalmyks revolted against Russia in 1926, 1930 and 1942-1943. In March 1927, Soviet deported 20,000 Kalmyks to Siberia, tundra and Karelia.[17] The Kalmyks founded sovereign Republic of Oirat-Kalmyk on 22 March 1930. The Oirat's state had a small army and 200 Kalmyk soldiers defeated 1,700 Soviet soldiers in Durvud province of Kalmykia but the Oirat's state destroyed by the Soviet Army in 1930. Kalmykian nationalists and Pan-Mongolists attempted to migrate Kalmyks to Mongolia in the 1920s. Mongolia suggested to migrate the Soviet Union's Mongols to Mongolia in the 1920s but Russia refused the suggest. [17]
In 1943 all of 120,000 Kalmyks were deported to Siberia by Stalin, accused of supporting invading Axis armies attacking Stalingrad (Volgograd) and a fifth of the population is thought to have perished during and immediately after deportation. [18][19][20] Around half of (97-98,000) Kalmyk people deported to Siberia died before being allowed to return home in 1957.[21] The government of the Soviet Union forbade teaching Kalmyk language during the deportation.[22][23][24] The Kalmyks' main purpose was to migrate to Mongolia. Mongolian leader Khorloogiin Choibalsan attempted to migrate the deportees to Mongolia and he met with them in Siberia during his visit to Russia. Under the Law of the Russian Federation of April 26, 1991 "On Rehabilitation of Exiled Peoples" repressions against Kalmyks and other peoples were qualified as an act of genocide. Now they are trying to revive their language and religion. In 2010 Kalmyks are 176,800.
Xinjiang Mongols[edit]
The Mongols of Xinjiang form a minority, principally in the northern part of the region and Mongols are 194,500(50,000 about Dongxiangs) in 2010.[25] They are primarily descendants of the surviving Torghuts and Khoshuts who returned from Kalmykia, and of the Chakhar stationed there as garrison soldiers in the 18th century. The emperor had sent messages asking the Kalmyks to return, and erected a smaller copy of the Potala in Jehol (the country residence of the Manchu Emperors) to mark their arrival. A model copy of that "Little Potala" was made in China for the Swedish explorer Sven Hedin, and was erected at the Great Exhibition of Chicago. It is now in storage in Sweden, where there are plans to re-erect it. Some of the returnees did not come that far and still live, now as Muslims, at the South-western end of Lake Issyk-kul in present-day Kirghizia.
Alasha Mongols[edit]
Bordering Gansu and west of Irgay River is called Alxa or Alaša, Alshaa and Mongols who moved there are called the Alasha Mongols.
Törbaih Güshi Khan's 4th son Ayush was opposed to the Khan's brother Baibagas. Ayush's eldest son is Batur Erkh Jonon Khoroli. After the battle between Galdan Boshigt Khan and Ochirtu Sechen Khan, Batur Erkh Jonon Khoroli moved to Tsaidam with his 10,000 households. The 5th Dalai Lama wanted land for them from the Qing government, thus in 1686, the Emperor permitted them to reside in Alasha.
In 1697, Alasha Mongols were administered in 'khoshuu' and 'sum' units. A khoshuu with eight sums was created, Batur Erkh Jonon Khoroli was appointed to Beil, and Alasha was thus a 'zasag-khoshuu'. Alasha was however like an 'aimag' and never administered under a 'chuulgan'.
In 1707, when Batur Erkh Jonon Khoroli died, his son Abuu succeeded him. He was in Beijing from his youth, served as bodyguard of the Emperor, and a princess (of the Emperor) was given to him, thus making him a 'Khoshoi Tavnan', i.e. Emperor's groom. In 1793, Abuu became Jün Wang. There are several thousand Muslim Alasha Mongols.[26]
Ejine Mongols[edit]
Mongols who lived along the Ejine River descended from Ravjir, a grandson of Torghut Ayuka Khan from the Volga River.
In 1678, Ravjir - with his mother, younger sister and 500 people - went to Tibet to pray. While they were returning via Beijing in 1704, the Qing ruler, the Kangxi Emperor, let them stay there for some years and later organized a 'khoshuu' for them in a place called Sertei, and made Ravjir the governor.
In 1716, the Kangxi Emperor sent him with his people to Hami, near the border of Qing China and Zunghar Khanate, for intelligence-gathering purposes against the Oirats. When Ravjir died his eldest son Denzen succeeded him. He was afraid of the Zunghar and wanted the Qing government to allow them to move away from the border. They were settled in Dalan Uul–Altan. When Denzen was died in 1740, his son Lubsan Darjaa succeeded him and became Beil. Now Ejine Torghuts are 5000.
In 1753, they were settled on the banks of the Ejine River and the Ejine River Torghut 'khoshuu' was thus formed.[27]

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas Gallery
When his father (played by David Thewlis) is made commander of a concentration camp in Second World War Germany, eight-year-old Bruno (Asa Butterfield) reluctantly travels with his family to his new, secluded home.

I have been trying to diagnose this cars issues for some time and I have had it. Car started having trouble starting and would die when coming to stops. I have dropped the gas tank cleaned it out, put a new fuel pump, new fuel filter and new gas. Car still had trouble starting, drove for a few miles parked it and now it turns over but will not start argh! When trying to start the car it wants to start, you can hear back firing also. So now I have removed the EGR valve, gross full of yucky stuff (I'm a girl hence the gross yucky words LOL) and the spring was not moving properly, I cleaned it all up, the spring moves easy now, cleaned the throttle body really good too! Car still has same issue and now I'm more frustrated. So on to the next thing I cleaned the PCV and also checked to make sure the fuel pressure regulator was working properly. Car still will not start. I have checked to make sure all hoses are connected and not worn or breaking, put a new battery, spark plugs and wires. Checked the IAT, IAC, and cleaned out the MAF sensor. I am so lost for words on what to do next, I would really like to get this car running again. Any suggestions on what could be the issue? I would be most thankful.

VLO: Refined Calendar Spread
Valero Energy (VLO) is in the oil and gas refining and marketing business. That means VLO makes gasoline from crude oil and then they sell it at their gas stations. Somebody is making a lot more money now that gasoline is above $4 per gallon. However, VLO analysts think the company is doing only fair for now, with better earnings on the way over the remainder of fiscal 2012.
Meanwhile, back to the game of, "What have you done for me lately?" VLO continues to drop from its 2012 high made in early March around $28.50 to where it closed yesterday around $23.35. That is a serious decline for only six weeks. The catalyst for the selling was the news that VLO is closing down a refinery (in Aruba) because it was not a profitable operation. The company announces Q1 earnings results on May 1, and I am sure it will comment fully on this management decision.
The expected earnings for Q1 are $0.20 per share, a small increase on a year-over-year comparison with 2011. For Q2 the average earnings guesstimate (of 14 VLO analysts reporting to Yahoo! Finance) is $1.56 per share compared to $1.30/share which would be a 20% increase year-over-year. For fiscal year 2012 the average earnings guesstimate is for VLO to have earned $3.67 per share compared with $3.38 per share in fiscal year 2011 which ends in December. VLO is now trading with a trailing P/E of 6X and a forward P/E of 5X, which is seriously and cheaply low for any stock! The dividend yields 2.50%, a $.60 per share payout annually. That has plenty of room for improvement as VLO grows its earnings and serves as a downside governor for its stock price.
If you believe the analysts in VLO's business sector you begin to scratch your head as to when the best time and price is for this company relative to the price of crude oil. VLO has a 52-week price range of $16 to $29. That fact is not missed by options traders who are currently using mid-40s volatility for VLO options. VLO has decent options liquidity and tight enough markets as per the spread between the bid and ask.
Before we get into the options strategy, let's take a look at the T3/OP video with Jill and Marc as they further review fundamentals and the chart.
The trade tactic I prefer for VLO now is the calendar spread. This type of spread is 100% risk controlled. It is medium as per its risk level and open-ended, for now, as per its reward potential.
Trades: Sell to open 3 VLO May 24 calls at $0.90 and buy to open 3 VLO June 24 calls for $1.30.
The total risk for the trade is the premium paid for the spread, or $0.40 per spread. As always, I will monitor the trade on this site in the comments section below.

Our recent call for donations has ameliorated our hosting costs most months (although this month is looking a bit bleak), and this has provided us with the wiggle room to wiggle. And wiggle we shall.
We are tickled to install a handful of new humans. First, please give a warm round of implied applause to our new Lead Editor, Melissa Wiley. Her skilled editorial oversight is already streamlining our publication process, thereby reducing the time needed to prepare piping-hot articles. Furthermore we've invited an array of new talented writers to join us, thereby upgrading our overall capacity. As each author finishes the process of pitching, writing, and revising his/her first feature--a process startlingly similar to dressing room montage scenes from 1980s cinema--you'll see their shiny new articles begin to appear and we'll give each a proper introduction.
With this un-jamming of the logs and un-necking of the bottle, our overall output should accelerate gradually over the coming months. Of course we're unlikely to ever publish at the quality-compromising rate of certain unnamed borderline-plagiarism content regurgitators, but nor would we want to. Life is too short for such stuff.
On an entirely unrelated note, we are attempting to increase the visibility of our podcast, so if you can be convinced to rate and/or review it on iTunes (or another podcast catalog of your choice) that would be perfectly damned delightful of you.
If this all works out as well as we hope, subsequent pleasant surprises are forthcoming.
Update: Please pay no attention to the remark regarding a bleak outlook for donations this month. The situation has improved owing to our generous, supportive, and shockingly attractive readers. Much gratitude.


text: The New York Yankees announced Monday that Alex Rodriguez will begin a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday with Low-A Charleston. It will be his first test in a game since undergoing hip surgery in January. The plan seems to be for Rodriguez to play at least three innings in tonight's game. In addition to trying to make a successful return to the Bronx Bombers, MLB officials are also investigating his alleged role in the Biogenesis scandal. Rodriguez hit .272 with 18 home runs and 57 RBIs last season. Since he has been out of action, his is replacements have struggled and the Yankees desperately need to get a few of their big bats back in the lineup. Rodriguez might not be the player he once was for the Yankees, but it won't take much for him to be an upgrade over what the Yankees have received from their third basemen this season. We'll begin to see tonight if he is ready to return to the physical demands the game puts on players.

This post I am writing directly from Pioduran Albay. The hometown of my in-laws. This is the place where my father-in-law lives with his youngest daughter and her family. It's also the place where we are staying right now.
It is fun staying here because whole day family is passing by and going again. It is a lively house. No dull moments.
I do not have that much time to work on this blog, and aside from that I do not have the right facilities to publish pictures. The computer I am using is slow and doesn't have the right software to do some photoshopping. Internet is slow, and we have experienced a few brown-outs already the last few days. One lasted for several hours. On such moments I enjoy staying in the province: No loud music, no karaoke. Just a tricycle passing by every now and then.
There's not much roosters in this neighborhood, so I can sleep wel and a little late in the morning.
When I walk in the street, many children come to me and offer their hand to bless. This is a common thing in the Philippines. It shows that the person is respecting you.
Many children from the village know me already and see me as a lolo. For that reason they want to do the blessing ritual.
We were planning to go to Legaspi to do some business and to see if I could make a few nice pictures of Mayon Volcano, but the weather is not nice. It is a complete grey sky and showers from time to time. The moment it is clear I go out and bring my camera to try to shoot nice pics.
Coming sunday we will go back to Manila. I hope that the weather is good for travelling another almost 600 kms. And that I will be able to shoot a few nice landscape pictures.
I will post more next week about this week in Pioduran.

For any triathlete, the open water swim can be somewhat scary. There is no black line to follow at the bottom of the lake or the ocean. The water is not crystal clear but rather dark and ominous. More often than not, triathletes put off "open water" swimming until the last minute and then wonder why they have such slow times on race day. If you really want to be a fast open water swimmer you have to get out there and practice!
One of the key things I do leading up to race day is head out to the local lake with all my FINIS gear and do my swim sets in the open water. I practice my sighting while focusing on my stroke rate, body alignment and getting comfortable with not having a wall to push off of every 25-50 yards. I have actually found that the more I practice in the open water the better my sighting has become and the less often I have to sight. In addition, my new Lighting Goggles give me a wider view without any glare.
Prior to becoming a FINIS sponsored athlete, I had problems with my goggles in just about every race. They were too tight, too foggy, too leaky or they were too narrow to see the other racers around me and the buoys that I was aiming for. Since signing with FINIS for the 2013 season, I have had a vast amount of success in my open water swimming thanks in part to my new goggles and my improved technique in the water.
So, get out there and don't let your open water swimming experience, or lack of it, be the reason that you don't hit your race PR this season. As my mother always said, "Practice makes perfect."
Cheers and Happy Training!

Where's the Progressive Agenda for the Great Recession?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
One major difference between the Great Depression and the Great Recession is the death of a visionary progressive movement. Yes, the Republicans and the media like to call liberal Democrats "Left," but that just means they are slightly more moderate than Attila the Hun.
Many in the 1930s believed that capitalism needed a major overhaul. From there it got vague and contentious. The Communist Party, of course, was in love with the Soviet Union, which seemed to be the workers' paradise on Earth, in part because it had avoided the worst of the Depression. American socialists and Lafollette progressives looked more to a mixed system where government would not eliminate private capitalism but instead would heavily control it, even to the point of setting up its own key enterprises.
In general, the consensus view was that capitalism had run amok. Wall Street and the failing banking system were under fire. Serious change was in the air and progressives provided the agenda: unionization, public enterprises like the Tennessee Valley Authority, social security, minimum wage and overtime laws, public housing, controls on banking, public employment projects like the Works Progress Administration and the Civilian Conservation Corps. In addition there were experiments in alleviating debilitating competition, controlling prices and overproduction, soil conservation and a host of others, many of which failed.
The reason we don't have bread lines now largely is due to programs that progressives jammed through the under the rubric of the New Deal.
But you would think our Great Recession might be severe enough to at least conjure up a coherent set of reforms. After all, 29 million are unemployed or underemployed and we have poured about $13 trillion in cash and asset guarantees into Wall Street. Only a few months ago, we were all aghast at the incredible casino that was Wall Street. We couldn't believe that billions poured into junk fantasy finance instruments that got AAA ratings. We were really going to do something about those astronomical compensation packages. Our outrage knew no bounds but had no focus, no organization. We were, and maybe still are deeply angered, but we do so in private.
The banks that were too big to fail have actually gotten bigger. No one is even talking about regulating specialty derivatives that were so instrumental in the crash. The consumer financial protection agency is getting watered down by bank lobbyists funded indirectly by our bailout. And to name just one overcompensated financier, Andrew J. Hall, an oil speculator working for CitiGroup, is about to make a mockery of wage constraints by walking off with a $100 million payday -- from a bank that we virtually own.
Still no progressive movement. Still no national agenda for reforms. Still no compelling vision for what needs to be changed. Still no collective action to build our sense of empowerment.
If we are ever to form a coherent reform effort, there are two fundamental changes that should guide us:
1. We must move money from the top of the income ladder to the middle and the bottom. This crisis was the result of near-sighted, selfish tax "reforms" that encouraged money to accumulate in the hands of the top fraction of one percent. Those folks literally ran out of real world investment opportunities that satisfied their demands for high returns, so they poured their excess capital into the fantasy finance casino. We have the worst income distribution since 1929 - no coincidence, I would argue. When money is more fairly distributed we will dry up much of the demand for fantasy finance.

More New and Used
from Private Sellers
The People, Place, and Space Readerby Gieseking; Jennifer
Nonspecific Binding
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the 1st edition with a publication date of 5/29/2014.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
Many academic disciplines have taken a spatial turn in recent years, and environmental crisis is on everybody's lips, but all too often students, scholars, and practitioners do not know where to go to read about the issues that spark their imaginations. People, Place and Spaceprovides a broad, theoretically informed introduction and brings together key texts from a variety of disciplines that focus on environment, space, and place as they relate to both the mundane and the spectacular in the everyday lives of people. As interdisciplinary studies proliferate dramatically and the boundaries between such things as area studies, cultural studies, urban studies, and environmental studies become more porous, this compendium of readings on space and place is relevant to an increasing number of students in a wide variety of fields. This reader provides the integrated analytical tools and imaginative theories that will prod an individual from any discipline to think harder and reach farther on the many issues raised by the human environment.

I did it!!!! Yah!!!! FCCA/CPNE......Here I come!
- 1Jul 30, '11 by Determine2bI am so relieved to have passed the dreaded LS3 on my 2nd attempt. That exam was extremely difficult.....even more so than my 1st attempt at it. I believe that I passed because I was more prepared this time. But honestly, if I had the time I would have studied for another 2 weeks before taking. I am just glad to put that one behind me! I am taking a well-deserved vacation starting in 2 dys. I will focus on my FCCA/CPNE application when I get back. Hoping to apply to NPAC & SPAC.
Thank you all for your support.
- 0Jul 30, '11 by Pixie.RN, BSN, RN, EMT-P Senior ModeratorYay!!!! Congrats!!
- 1Jul 31, '11 by BeachCathyRN, BSNCongrats!!! Hope I get the same results, studying right now for my retake of LS3 Good Luck with the CPNE!!
- 0Jul 31, '11 by WestPalmLPNcongrats......... d; welcome to the club!!!!!
- 0Jul 31, '11 by MommymedicCongrats!!!! I hope to be in the same boat after saturday. I take LS 2 and then hopefully (fingers crossed) I am onto the FCCA, and CPNE.... woohoo for you!!!
- 0Jul 31, '11 by spreadloveCongrats!!! So happy for you!!
- 0Aug 1, '11 by Determine2bThanks guys!
What a relief! Whew!!
@K9kabs...sent you a pm yesterday. Did you get it? The notes really helped...not so much the Sg101 & LA...just didn't have the time to break those down, yours on the other hand was to the point. I also continued my use of Saunders but it was not sufficient for this exam.
@Beachnurse....going to the same tutor Ursula used. I spoke with Ursula and she said the tutor was fabulous!
Perhaps you should consider her K9kabs! Let me know.
All those studying for this exam: be very prepared and know your disease process--all of them! A lot of priority nursing and S/Sx of the many diseases. Also know the differences. I even got 2 maths calculations, 6 choose all that applies and a fill in the blank and the correct sequencing of nursing actions! I think they made the 2nd exam especially more difficult for me!
Good Luck, you can do it too!

On the suggestion of the instructors in a couple of my clases, right now I'm reading "Nursing Mother, Working Mother" and "The Happiest Baby on the Block." "NMWM" so far is a little too touchy-feely about how wonderfult it is to breastfeed and how important it is, lad-di-dah -- it's way more convincing than I personally need but I guess the author felt like part of her job was to convince more working mothers that they can and should breast feed. I haven't gotten to any of the practical part yet.
I'm at about the same point with "Happiest" - he has a long discussion of what people have thought causes colic and how they're wrong and then a discussion of his own theory (that basically all babies are born premature because they need to come out before their heads are too big but many lack coping mechanisms). I find this interesting in part because I had colic and am very worried about coping with what my mom lived through. I can't say whether his techniques to calm babies work yet, obviously, but I've heard good things about them.
2-Step:This is my first time, but two of my friends gave me the book On Becoming Baby Wise and told me it really helped them out in the first few months. The book advocates working toward a schedule based on feedings that happen within a set, but flexible time frame, so both you and your baby can know what to expect throughout the day. It is also supposed to help them sleep through the night more quickly. Both of my friends said their babies were on a consistent scheudle and sleeping through the night well before they returned to work at 3 months. The advice in there made sense to me, so we'll see if it works for us!
A coworker recommended this book to me as well. Hope that it works for us!

California unemployment rises
The L.A. Times reported this morning that unemployment rates in California have grown again in January. The state now ranks fifth highest for unemployment in the country. In nearly eight counties, more than one in five people are out of work. The chart topper in Southern California is Imperial County with an unemployment rate of 27.3%. The Inland Empire reached 15% in January and Los Angles County hit 12.5%. With the steady growth in GDP over the last three months of 2009, the numbers have startled analysts, so the question is… when will hiring match that trend?

Thursday marked the first game action of any kind for Grady Sizemore since September of 2011. That's nearly 900 days away from the game for the former Gold-Glove outfielder. He went hitless in 2 at bats from the leadoff spot, playing 3 innings in left field for the defending champs against the Northeastern University Huskies. It was a rather uneventful day, which is a good thing for the oft-injured Sizemore.
Check out photos from Thursdays action in our Galleries, and see what Grady had to say about getting back into action below.

For Sizemore, it seems like old times – Brian MacPherson, Providence Journal
Sizemore downplays Sox debut after two years out of MLB – Sean McAdam, Comcast Sportsnet
Sizemore downplays significance of first game with Red Sox – Ricky Doyle, NESN
Despire originally thinking that he probably wouldn't be ready for the first spring action on Thursday, on Monday manager John Farrell announced that Grady Sizemore would suit up for the Red Sox in one of two 7-inning split-squad games on Thursday against Boston College and Northeastern.
Sizemore's body has reacted better than expected to an increased workload, causing the Red Sox medical staff and management to adjust up their timeline for the former All-Star.
"Definitely better than expected," Sizemore said Tuesday when asked about his health. "I didn't expect to come in here and have continuous days without any issues and be able to keep pushing it to keep up with the volume and keep going from there."
Grady Sizemore will be in the Red Sox's lineup for first spring training game on Thursday, swing 'looks great' – Jason Mastrodonato, MassLive.com

Grady appeared on Red Sox Live on NESN yesterday, live from Fort Meyers. He sat down for an interview and also took part in their Slapshot Classic contest. Check out the videos below.
Jason Mastrodonato at MassLive.com has an intriguing look at Grady and how he feels about getting back into the game after a 2 year layoff.
Sizemore smiles for the fans and seems in a good enough mood, but something doesn't feel quite right. His mother, Donna, says he's naturally shy and likes to keep to himself, so all the attention could be adding to the discomfort. But that's not why he feels weird.
Grady Sizemore feels weird because he's wearing a major league uniform for the first time since 2011.
"It feels really good," he said. "But it feels weird to put the uniform on again."
Check out the full piece, including insight from Grady's mother Donna, and his high school baseball coach at MassLive.com.

BAY MINETTE, Ala. (WALA) – The race for Baldwin County Sheriff is winding down and one of the challengers hoping to unseat incumbent Sheriff Huey "Hoss" Mack is Larry Milstid.
Milstid was chief deputy sheriff for the department for 18 years up until 2006 and served in the army in Vietnam. He said his more than 20 years of law enforcement service make him more than qualified for the job.
"I had the authority and the responsibility for all divisions of the sheriff's office. I wrote many, many grants, I prepared budgets, and so forth. And I'm fully aware of what it takes to run that operation," Milstid said.
Beyond his role as chief deputy, Milstid also taught for 17 years at the Southwest Alabama Police Academy, served for three years as an investigator for the Baldwin County District Attorney's Office and holds three degrees in business and management.
"I feel like I've got the background in law enforcement, I've got the educational credentials and I understand it and I want to do this. And I want to return the sheriff's office to the public," Milstid said.
He said growth is one of the biggest issues facing Baldwin County and that the unincorporated areas aren't seeing enough attention.
"People lock up and leave every morning before they go to work, and they're just at the mercy of hoping they've got a good alarm system or a dog or something like that. And there's just not enough high profile patrolling out there in these unincorporated areas," Milstid said.
Milstid will meet with Mack and his other challenger, Jeff Dunn, an investigator with the Baldwin County District Attorney's Office, Thursday night at a debate in Fairhope.

Brooklyn, New Yo...
See Release Notice Below
The fabric was really strange on this dress. It has very loose weave like a linen and then patches of solid silk flower pattern.
The dress is a simple tank style, but its loosely fitted. I wanted it to fall outside of the body line or move around the body.
The cropped jacket buttons in the back and at the sleeve cuffs. The jacket is fully lined in a rich red silk and the buttons are leather.
I decided to use a french seam, but zig-zagged over the raw edge of the first go, then completing the french seam (encasing a strong zig-zag inside of the french seam).
More pictures here: http://papermothballvintage.blogspot.com/

2. order leading to disorder
To get to the faucet the entire under-sink-cabinet has to be cleared out. Since there was a leak everything has to be dried as well. In a house this would be no problem: Simply put everything from under the sink somewhere next to you on the floor. If you do this on a boat you loose pretty much ALL of your floor space. But you put everything on the floor thinking this will be a quick fix…
So once you have everything out of the cabinet and on the floor you realize you will need the shop-vac and some tools. Only then do you realize that now you cannot get to your tools because your have blocked off all floor space.
Next you notice that the water needs to be shut off to remove the faucet. This pretty much ends your ability of staving off entropy. You cannot simply shut off the water to the sink only – the entire boat's water supply has to be turned off. It's a good thing we have a fresh water foot pump faucet in the galley.
Well, we better head out to catch the bus to Home Depot (yes, we have the 'Deep in Mexico) and buy a new faucet. I need my living-room/dining room/office and galley and bathroom back!
Update November 4: After getting a lot of comments regarding the size of my under sink cabinet I'm adding a photo. Top shelf is pyrex and plastic storage containers, bottom shelf contains cleaning products. Underneath is even more space which is filled with canned food and also accessible through a floor board. Behind the cabinet on the left is a large cabinet for a regular size garbage can, which is accessible from above and the side. Love my galley!

Wow, that's a lot of cleaning products on the table! You must have a lovely big cupboard under the sink. Thanks for the post, now a I have a name for the organised chaos we live in

Heh… I remember those days….those effin boats, you love em but can't leave em. It's always something.

Wow that IS a lot of cleaning products!! I don't know where we'd put it on Nyon… I think we should have called our boat Entropy… Then we wouldn't feel bad if (who am I kidding, when) it lives up to its name! Haha.

I know it'd be additional work up front, but you might consider installing some in-line shut off ball valves to each system. That way you could shut off each water system individually without sitting down the whole boat's water?

Ha, know this well. Even to the point of "I know I have one of those things, but to be honest it is simpler to just walk up to Ace then try and dig it out…"

Indeed, I do have a rather large space under my sink. I love it! Added a photo to this post for those of you who are interested. Happy to report that the new faucet went in today!

Change means larger, faster growing lottery jackpots
Updated On: Feb 28 2013 03:14:23 PM CST
Florida has now joined Iowa and 41 other state in selling Mega Millions lottery game tickets.
Iowa Lottery officials tell KCCI that the game itself will not change.
Mary Neubauer of the Iowa Lottery said the only difference Iowans will see is that Mega Millions jackpots will be larger and will grow faster. That's because Florida is the fourth largest U.S. state in population with more than 19 million people.
Florida already sells Powerball, another multi-state game.
