You May Need Awhile To Let This Tax Pretzel Digest
HT/ JC LAdy
Let's say you own a home and your mortgage is $1,000 a month. If, however, you instead rented the home from a landlord your rent, let's say, would be $2,000 a month. To the mandarins at the IRS, you are "earning" an implied $1,000 a month because you own and not rent, and that "value" should be added to your taxable income. If you own your home out-right and don't have a mortgage at all, you would be "earning" $2,000 a month which the IRS thinks should be added to your taxable income.
I have no doubt there is an elaborate, overly complicated theory for how this makes sense. But elaborate, overly complicated theories are also often silly. I own a car. If I didn't, I would have to rent one from a rental firm, which would be considerably more expensive. Is the difference between my car payment and hypothetical rental fees something I "earned" which should be added to my taxable income?
Yes it is, say the bureaucrats in Washington.
This, to me, is a sign of how big a challenge we face in reigning in Washington. When the feds consider money I don't have to pay because of a choice I made as a taxable event, then the leviathan is truly all-consuming.
Oh, and the feds list this exemption as one of the top "loopholes" in the tax code. They estimate that it "costs" the feds over $50 billion a year to not levy this tax. Yes, in Washington, items exempt from taxation are considered "costs" the government bears.

So by the same logic, those who use LED and CFL light bulbs should pony up their savings versus incandescent and halogen. Those who drive a prius, volt, etc, need to pony up their savings realized thru government incentives and reduced MPGs. Those who have only a cheap ass Obamafone need to throw some dollars up versus the iphone5. Fair is fair.Noteworthy Comment +19
Be responsible, play by the rules. Get screwed.
Be irresponsible, break the rules. Be rewarded.Noteworthy Comment +17
EXACTLY Eternal cracker!
ISn't it funny how they want to tax capital gains on the wealthy and now because of their spending have to resort to unrealized capital gains.
Whats next potential gains tax.
Mr. eternal Cracker, we believe you could've made more last year and aren't living up to your potential, so by our calculations, you intentionally made less money to evade taxes.
So were ging to tax you on what we think you could've or should've made.Noteworthy Comment +16
Keep doing what you are, dot-gov. Tax and regulate away ALL incentive for production. Graduate high school students with the education level of 1960′s grammar school kids. Graduate college students with debt to their asses who cannot get a job.
Yea, so you'll be in control, dot-gov. But, in control of what? A freaking shit pile, that's what. Reap what you sow, dot-gov. Enjoy the taste.Noteworthy Comment +13
Sooner or later we're going to be taxed on our IQ.
And sunlight.+9
There is no end to what will be considered taxable.
One of the funniest lines ever on the topic was from an old Dr. Who, talking about a repressive overseer group (I'm talking about 30 years ago, so I don't recall the episode): "like a double vision tax on people with more than one eye".
Because I know several older couples who have gone the reverse-mortgage route, how does this affect them? Any idea?+7
Next up, the money healthy people don't spend on health car will be considered taxable income…
They can call it the "Galt Tax."Noteworthy Comment +12
So… NOT paying the highest price possible for something counts as income?
Shopping for food at Wal-Mart rather than Krogers?
They can't tax something as income until it comes in.
Don't think that would stand up in court, not that Obumfuk wouldn't try, NOW THAT HE HAS NOTHING TO LOSE.Noteworthy Comment +11
Those damn rainbows casting light on a unicorn, man, if I could do that it would cost a fucking boat load. I mean, they have every single color. That has got to cost a fortune. If only I could ask the rainbow man what it cost, I would pay him.
If my payment was accepted, I would kindly ask he point me in the direction of the person responsible for creating the double rainbow.+5
Sooner or later we're going to be taxed on our IQ.
And sunlight.
I fear that one would be unconstitutional, because it would mean democrats would get a tax break based on party voting affiliation.+6

@Thatguy, its already in the books for Obamacare, you don't buy it you get taxed on it, they even argued it was a tax to the SC.+8
"Golly, your honor. I have no idea how my boot ended up in that IRS agent's ass."Noteworthy Comment +15
Nutjob, The secret is, everyone pay the penalty. It's cheaper. This guy and his socialist buddies just ain't that smart. Disturbingly, they seem to be smarter then our elected conservatives. Give this bitch everything he wants now, save anything to do with the 2cnd, he will own it. It;s the only quick way out of this Marxist regime. Give em full rein.+5
I hear ya, the only problem is it comes down to the media once again……who'll never allow them to own up to anything….Its always someone elses fault..its the liberal mantra.+5
"I fear that one would be unconstitutional"
What is this "unconstitutional' of which you speak?
But really, what's the difference between being taxed on hypothetical rental fees and hypothetical unrealized income? I'm not kidding.+7
So I wonder if the section 8 and EBT card users are going to have to pay taxes on something they should've bought based on the realized savings from using other peoples money?
Oh, wait, my bad, they get the useless scumbag worthless piece of shit exemption.+5
This whole thing could open up a pandoras box of taxes…….not like the spendocrats will care but farmers could be taxed for not fall plowing and saving money, college students for getting lower interest loans or grants…ok maybe not that one.
But what about FLuke, shouldn't she get charged for services she should be charging for?+7
But really, what's the difference between being taxed on hypothetical rental fees and hypothetical unrealized income? I'm not kidding.
None Xavier, this is exactly the kind of free-for-all the spendocrats want.
The sad thing is the bootstomping ignorant bootlicking kool-aid drinkers think its for the bettermeant of society, when all it does is enriches the elitist and appointed decision makers.
Amazing how these math illiterates could care less of the wasted billions for their free phone, or 1/2 off electric bill, or rent.+4
"I hear ya, the only problem is it comes down to the media once again"
That the point. Hold a press conference after they vote out the sobbing idiot.
Barry won the election, we are giving him anything he want's unimpeded, except for the 2cnd. Enjoy your self bitch's. They freaken know. They'd be slitting their wrists. It's the only logical move.+4
Economically, any such plan is based upon stupid assumptions. Assume I have a mortgage of $1000 per month. My real estate taxes are about $400 per month, insurance is about $100 per month, and maintenance runs about $400 per month (landscape, upkeep, etc.). As a result, I spend about $100.00 per month less than the $2,000 per month renter, who normally pays none of these particular expenses.
The Administration, if they are proposing this, is proposing nothing more than punishing responsible people. But then again, that's nothing unusual for this bunch.Noteworthy Comment +14
This will hurt the left coast home-owning elitist leftards pretty good. Sooner or later the Demon voters who actually function like responsible conservatives are going to get a hard slap.+5
Wyatt, YOUR PAYING 40% IN PROPERTY TAX. Oh yea, forgot you live in Cali.+5
Cough. TAX STRIKE. Cough.Noteworthy Comment +12
How's that working out?+6
@Bad Brad: No, I'm not paying 40% property tax, and the above was for illustration only. I have never refinanced my house, have lived in the same place for 20 years, and even with this recession, I could not really afford to buy my house now.+4
OK, since I own this property, I am therefore the landlord. Thus, I am losing $1000/mo in potential rent…hmmm, I see deductions for the clever, instead.+5
Bad Brad,
Me, Anne B. and hopefully a hell of a lot more aint paying any penalty for not buying the scam.
They will have to jail us (I for one am not going peacefully)
or kill us (not going quietly into the night, either)
This shit has to stop and playing along won't stop it!+2
Remember ObamaCare…and "Justice" John Roberts' remarks?
His "Enabling Law of
argumentation will be only the opening gambit, if this nonsense is allowed to continue.
Commerce. Clause. Gone. Wild.+1
Taxation as the new version of slavery:
Regardless of how it seems on the surface the federal government knows better that us. After all they are our protectors. As good citizens of the state we should volunteer to send more than our share of taxes to them.+1
"The left's immediate goal is to forcibly redistribute the wealth of the top one percent. But if—as the left asserts—this is the "moral" thing to do, why stop there? The top 2 percent have more wealth than everyone else, too. So do the top 3 and the top 5 and the top 11 percent. If Republicans accept that it is "moral" to confiscate and redistribute someone's wealth because he is wealthier than others, then Republicans have no defense against tax hikes on anyone and everyone who earns more than anyone else.
The left's "one percent" strategy is an egalitarian trap. The logical endgame of their premises is a collectivist society of universal economic, rather than legal, equality—a society in which everyone is equally poor. This scheme is an assault not only on the so-called rich, but on every productive American. If the Republicans accede to the Democrats' demands, the Republicans will have handed the left a political "gift that will keep on giving"—which here means redistributing—as long as there are differences in income.
Everyone who understands arithmetic knows that whatever increase in tax "revenues" follows from increasing the top tax rate from 35 percent to the pre-Bush 39.6 percent will barely dent the deficit, but the left calls for the increase anyway. Why? Because the left's goal is not to reduce the deficit, but to redistribute wealth—and this is just the beginning."+3
They will be stepping up the effort to get your guns.+2
Bullets are next jeckel,
You reload, then you owe taxes to the government for bullets you should've bought and paid taxes on, and being the tax crime involves a gun now its a mandatory felony with prison time.+1
Dadof3, I don't know if you've stopped to consider this, but the Federal Government in essence has facilitated it own tax strike. Hasn't stopped a damn thing. They just keep borrowing more money. You will never get enough people organized to make an impact. It's zero sum.0
So the choice is either:
Play along and…. what? make no difference except be broke and lost rights? Become a New World Order Slave like they want? Hope they come for you last? Pray I survive a crime wave that would ensue a loss of rule-by-just-law with no means to fight back (let them have your guns, etc.)
Not play along and… stand on your rights and put your heart and soul into making America as it once was a long time ago. Actually free.
I choose to be free until they try to physically take them away and I will make them pay the biggest price possible if they go there. They will be putting their life on the line too.
At this point I have only one thing to say, if I truly am alone in in taking a stand about this.
Leave me the Eff alone. Risk that at your own peril.
Go ahead and pay your penalty. Fill out your Doctor/IRS info sheet when you visit for your flu shot and whatever else they decide you must do because you haven't been broken enough yet if you're still playing.
Question is… Where is your line that is "too far" and you say Enough! ?
They passed it for me already. I'm standing ground.
So… where is your line at? Never? Just take the legalese route and try to work them by just paying a penalty and yet allowing all your rights to vansih? Good luck. They make it up as they go along anyway. They want you to do what you are doing. You are not disrupting them at all with that plan.+1

Monthly online giving is one of the best ways there is to grow your donor base, increase your donor retention and enhance your major donor program. But just being able to donate online does not mean you have good program—or a program at all. Technology is the tool, but your land trust's program is what will make it a success.
We'll discuss key tips and strategies to build a strong monthly online donor program including how to interface with your website, strategies for increasing the number of monthly donors, what sort of communication and engagement you need, how to elevate monthly giving so that it's a priority, and examples of how to cross-market monthly giving. Land trusts of all sizes can create a successful program.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Voluntary conservation of private land received a boost yesterday when President Obama mentioned the work of land trusts in his remarks introducing the landmark America's Great Outdoors Report at a reception in the East Room of the White House. The collective voice of land trusts was reflected in the report, which proposes to extend the enhanced tax incentive for conservation easement donations beyond 2011, fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), and focus a portion of LWCF on innovative projects that support urban parks, community green spaces and large-scale land conservation.
Mr. Obama said that "at a time when America's open spaces are controlled by a patchwork of groups, from government to land trusts to private citizens, it's clear that conservation in the 21st century is going to take more than what we can do here in Washington…Meeting the new test of environmental stewardship means finding the best ideas at the grassroots level, it means helping states, communities and nonprofits protect their own resources, and it means figuring out how the federal government can be a better partner in those efforts."
The report draws inspiration from hundreds of land trust participants at America's Great Outdoors listening sessions around the country. "I am proud of the nation's 1,700 land trusts for pioneering the voluntary conservation incentives and locally driven partnerships embraced in this report," Land Trust Alliance President Rand Wentworth said. "This initiative will significantly reorient federal conservation efforts to emphasize working lands and to embrace local governments and land trusts as effective partners in conserving the places that give meaning to our lives."
The report's vision statement describes a future in which "Rural lands—our working farms, ranches and forests—are conserved and restored through local partnerships." The president's Fiscal Year 2012 Budget Request makes a down payment on that vision by providing $200 million for the Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program and $900 million for the LWCF, some of which "will be competitively awarded to address priorities and leverage resources for urban parks and public-private conservation projects."
In communities across America, nonprofit land trusts are working with private landowners to keep farm, ranch and forest lands in productive use, create community parks and open space, protect important fish and wildlife habitat, and conserve our scenic and historic heritage. With the help of more than 100,000 volunteers and 2 million members, land trusts have conserved more than 37 million acres, including more than 12 million acres protected by voluntary conservation agreements with private landowners.
The Land Trust Alliance is a national conservation group that works on behalf of America's 1,700 land trusts to save the places people love by strengthening land conservation throughout America. The Alliance works to increase the pace and quality of conservation by advocating favorable tax policies, training land trusts in best practices and working to ensure the permanence of conservation in the face of continuing threats.

Partnerships with government are a great opportunity for land trusts to expand their reach -- but what do you do when the mayor says NO? Hear how Alaska's Great Land Trust used economic analysis and a grassroots campaign to convince a reluctant Mayor of Anchorage to accept the donation of a 60-acre coastal park. Their relationship building strategies included a grassroots campaign, social media, tours of the site, lobbying via donors, board members and mutual friends, economic benefit analysis, support from partner agencies, and additional funding to sweeten the deal. This campaign generated unexpected partnerships and raised the organization's profile in ways that will forever change the way they work. Would you believe Alaska's Republican and Democratic Senators teamed up to host a fundraiser – for the land trust? Or that an Oregon Senator and the Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service flew up to see their project? Learn how your organization can follow in the footsteps of this remarkable success story.

Title is one of the most critical parts of the due diligence process for acquiring land or easements. Without a proper title review, a land trust risks encumbering the wrong property, being subject to mortgages, tax liens, mineral rights or other restrictions that prevent deductibility and cause a host of other problems. In this webinar, participants will learn:

On Software
1) All software has bugs. Sometimes this is because people have been told to code in a hurry to meet shipping deadlines. Sometimes it is due to the way metal and other software interact with it. Mostly it is karma.
2) In the 21 st Century,It is okay to insult someone over his software , but not over most other things. Sometimes I think people are passionate not just for their own software but to just diss the other guys. It is a politically convenient release.
3) Bloggers writing about software are full of bull-by products. If they were any good in writing code, they would not have time to write a blog. Mostly bloggers on code are people whose coding enthusiasm is more than their coding competence.
4) Software is easier than it looks to people who know it. To those who dont know how to code, it will always be a bit of magic.
5) Despite immense progress, initiatives and encouragement- the number of females writing code is too low . Comparatively, figuratively and literally. If you are a male and want a social life- get into marketing while the hair is still black.
Man walks into Bar. Says to Women at Bar. " Hey,What do you do, Me- I write code"
6) People who write software end up making more money not just because they create useful stuff that helps get work done faster or helps reduce boredom for people. They make more money because they are mostly passionate, logical problem thinkers, focused, hard working and better read on a variety of subjects than others. That's your cue to how to make money even if you cannot code.
7) I would rather write much more code rather than write poetry. But I sometimes think they are related. Just manipulating words in different languages to manipulate output in different machines or people.
8) Kids should be taught software at early age , as that is a skill that helps in their education and thinking. More education for the kids!
9) Laying off talented software people because you found a cheaper , younger alternative half across the globe is sometimes evil. It is also inevitable. Learn more software as you grow older.
10) The best software is the one in your head. It was written by a better programmer too.
Interview JJ Allaire Founder, RStudio
Here is an interview with JJ Allaire, founder of RStudio. RStudio is the IDE that has overtaken other IDE within the R Community in terms of ease of usage. On the eve of their latest product launch, JJ talks to DecisionStats on RStudio and more.
Ajay- So what is new in the latest version of RStudio and how exactly is it useful for people?
JJ- The initial release of RStudio as well as the two follow-up releases we did last year were focused on the core elements of using R: editing and running code, getting help, and managing files, history, workspaces, plots, and packages. In the meantime users have also been asking for some bigger features that would improve the overall work-flow of doing analysis with R. In this release (v0.95) we focused on three of these features:
Projects. R developers tend to have several (and often dozens) of working contexts associated with different clients, analyses, data sets, etc. RStudio projects make it easy to keep these contexts well separated (with distinct R sessions, working directories, environments, command histories, and active source documents), switch quickly between project contexts, and even work with multiple projects at once (using multiple running versions of RStudio).
Version Control. The benefits of using version control for collaboration are well known, but we also believe that solo data analysis can achieve significant productivity gains by using version control (this discussion on Stack Overflow talks about why). In this release we introduced integrated support for the two most popular open-source version control systems: Git and Subversion. This includes changelist management, file diffing, and browsing of project history, all right from within RStudio.
Code Navigation. When you look at how programmers work a surprisingly large amount of time is spent simply navigating from one context to another. Modern programming environments for general purpose languages like C++ and Java solve this problem using various forms of code navigation, and in this release we've brought these capabilities to R. The two main features here are the ability to type the name of any file or function in your project and go immediately to it; and the ability to navigate to the definition of any function under your cursor (including the definition of functions within packages) using a keystroke (F2) or mouse gesture (Ctrl+Click).
Ajay- What's the product road map for RStudio? When can we expect the IDE to turn into a full fledged GUI?
JJ- Linus Torvalds has said that "Linux is evolution, not intelligent design." RStudio tries to operate on a similar principle—the world of statistical computing is too deep, diverse, and ever-changing for any one person or vendor to map out in advance what is most important. So, our internal process is to ship a new release every few months, listen to what people are doing with the product (and hope to do with it), and then start from scratch again making the improvements that are considered most important.
Right now some of the things which seem to be top of mind for users are improved support for authoring and reproducible research, various editor enhancements including code folding, and debugging tools.
What you'll see is us do in a given release is to work on a combination of frequently requested features, smaller improvements to usability and work-flow, bug fixes, and finally architectural changes required to support current or future feature requirements.
While we do try to base what we work on as closely as possible on direct user-feedback, we also adhere to some core principles concerning the overall philosophy and direction of the product. So for example the answer to the question about the IDE turning into a full-fledged GUI is: never. We believe that textual representations of computations provide fundamental advantages in transparency, reproducibility, collaboration, and re-usability. We believe that writing code is simply the right way to do complex technical work, so we'll always look for ways to make coding better, faster, and easier rather than try to eliminate coding altogether.
Ajay -Describe your journey in science from a high school student to your present work in R. I noticed you have been very successful in making software products that have been mostly proprietary products or sold to companies.
Why did you get into open source products with RStudio? What are your plans for monetizing RStudio further down the line?
JJ- In high school and college my principal areas of study were Political Science and Economics. I also had a very strong parallel interest in both computing and quantitative analysis. My first job out of college was as a financial analyst at a government agency. The tools I used in that job were SAS and Excel. I had a dim notion that there must be a better way to marry computation and data analysis than those tools, but of course no concept of what this would look like.
From there I went more in the direction of general purpose computing, starting a couple of companies where I worked principally on programming languages and authoring tools for the Web. These companies produced proprietary software, which at the time (between 1995 and 2005) was a workable model because it allowed us to build the revenue required to fund development and to promote and distribute the software to a wider audience.
By 2005 it was however becoming clear that proprietary software would ultimately be overtaken by open source software in nearly all domains. The cost of development had shrunken dramatically thanks to both the availability of high-quality open source languages and tools as well as the scale of global collaboration possible on open source projects. The cost of promoting and distributing software had also collapsed thanks to efficiency of both distribution and information diffusion on the Web.
When I heard about R and learned more about it, I become very excited and inspired by what the project had accomplished. A group of extremely talented and dedicated users had created the software they needed for their work and then shared the fruits of that work with everyone. R was a platform that everyone could rally around because it worked so well, was extensible in all the right ways, and most importantly was free (as in speech) so users could depend upon it as a long-term foundation for their work.
So I started RStudio with the aim of making useful contributions to the R community. We started with building an IDE because it seemed like a first-rate development environment for R that was both powerful and easy to use was an unmet need. Being aware that many other companies had built successful businesses around open-source software, we were also convinced that we could make RStudio available under a free and open-source license (the AGPLv3) while still creating a viable business. At this point RStudio is exclusively focused on creating the best IDE for R that we can. As the core product gets where it needs to be over the next couple of years we'll then also begin to sell other products and services related to R and RStudio.
JJ Allaire
JJ Allaire is a software engineer and entrepreneur who has created a wide variety of products including ColdFusion,Windows Live Writer, Lose It!, and RStudio.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_J._Allaire
In 1995 Joseph J. (JJ) Allaire co-founded Allaire Corporation with his brother Jeremy Allaire, creating the web development tool ColdFusion.[1] In March 2001, Allaire was sold to Macromedia where ColdFusion was integrated into the Macromedia MX product line. Macromedia was subsequently acquired by Adobe Systems, which continues to develop and market ColdFusion.
After the sale of his company, Allaire became frustrated at the difficulty of keeping track of research he was doing using Google. To address this problem, he co-founded Onfolio in 2004 with Adam Berrey, former Allaire co-founder and VP of Marketing at Macromedia.
On March 8, 2006, Onfolio was acquired by Microsoft where many of the features of the original product are being incorporated into the Windows Live Toolbar. On August 13, 2006, Microsoft released the public beta of a new desktop blogging client called Windows Live Writer that was created by Allaire's team at Microsoft.
Starting in 2009, Allaire has been developing a web-based interface to the widely used R technical computing environment. A beta version of RStudio was publicly released on February 28, 2011.
JJ Allaire received his B.A. from Macalester College (St. Paul, MN) in 1991.
RStudio is an integrated development environment (IDE) for R which works with the standard version of R available from CRAN. Like R, RStudio is available under a free software license. RStudio is designed to be as straightforward and intuitive as possible to provide a friendly environment for new and experienced R users alike. RStudio is also a company, and they plan to sell services (support, training, consulting, hosting) related to the open-source software they distribute.
Opera Unite- the future of cloud computing browsers
The boys (and ladies) at opera have been busy writing code , while the rest of the coders on the cloud were issuing press releases, attending meetings or just sky diving from the cloud. Judging by the language of apps and extensions, it seems that the engineers de Vikings et Slavs were busy coding while the Anglo Saxons were busy preparing for IPOs.
I really like the complete anonymity offered by Opera and especially Opera Unite
1) The Adblock option blocks all ads (same as other extensions)
2) The lovely Opera Unite has incredible apps for peer to peer sharing. You can create your own spotify, host your own chat application, transfer files, remote manage your computer. C'est magnifique!
Some really awesome apps on Opera Unite
All these apps can make your own desktop into a remotely managed website- so SOPA is irrelevant even if passed without any protest or non violent protests
(SOPA- an acronym for STOP OBAMA or STOP A (?) , since OBAMA is the one the internet really supports , and he is dependent on that goodwill for fundraising or A is the acronym of a legendary media myth of an imaginary web based organization (imaginary as in iota)
I think it would be a good idea.

The Ashlee Simpson Show, MTV, JUNE 16, 10:30 P.M.
Ashlee Simpson may be recording an album and starring in an MTV reality show, but she wants to clarify one thing: She is NOT copying her older sister. ''The show is about making a record, not being married,'' says Jessica Simpson's 19-year-old sibling. ''We're in different places.'' The series follows Ashlee as she makes the transition from actress (on The WB's ''7th Heaven'') to singer -- signing a deal with Geffen Records, writing songs, and cutting her teeth in the recording studio. The requisite conflict comes as Ashlee clashes with record execs over the album, which she says is influenced by Blondie and Pat Benatar but has ''a pop element.'' There's also some made-for-TV teen angst thrown in when Ashlee and her boyfriend of two years, an aspiring actor named Josh, break up -- and she uses it for lyric fodder. ''Even when I'm 30 I'll look back and remember my first love,'' she says. ''And now it's on tape.''
The Graham Norton Effect, COMEDY CENTRAL, JUNE 24, 10 P.M.
Erotic toys, naughty websites, deafeningly loud suits: These are the tools of British chat-show host Graham Norton. Now the openly gay star of England's ''So Graham Norton'' is bringing his saucy sensibility Stateside for a weekly New York City-based talk show. ''The interviews are rubbish,'' declares the motormouthed Norton. ''But what's interesting is -- because we keep our [celeb] guests for all our comedy bits -- learning how they react to things.'' In the U.K., Norton's interviews have resulted in such priceless scenarios as Shirley MacLaine picking out the gays from the straights while watching footage of men running on a beach (''She was so good,'' Norton marvels. ''She even spotted a bisexual!'') or Elijah Wood helping reenact Norton's failed ''Lord of the Rings'' audition. Still, he cites one dream guest for his American show (which begins production in late June) who would likely upstage his antics. ''I'd love to have Madonna,'' he says, ''but the Madonna I want is from about six years ago.... Kabbalah -- how dull does that sound?''
Good Girls Don't, OXYGEN, JUNE 4, 9 P.M.
The new ''Friends'' it ain't. L.A. roommates Marjorie (''The Wedding Planner'''s Bree Turner) and Jane (''Not Another Teen Movie'''s Joy Gohring) drink too much, smoke too much, and sleep with all the wrong people. It's about time. ''Good Girls Don't'' is the newest offering from Claudia Lonow, whose Showtime series about a has-been party girl, ''Rude Awakening,'' was largely autobiographical. ''I have a real affection for flawed people,'' says Lonow. ''I think they're heroic.'' If there's a breakout character, it's Jane, a slutty blonde who nevertheless manages to steer clear of stereotype. ''How many whores are there on TV?'' Lonow asks. ''SOOO many...[but] Jane is grandiose. She feels great about herself even though people roll their eyes.'' The yin to Jane's yang is Marjorie, a serial-monogamist schoolteacher who tries to boost Jane's self-esteem but instead inadvertently turns her into a man-eater. It's a loving, supportive, toxic friendship that Lonow feels is best explored on cable: ''There's no [other] place where they make jokes about chlamydia.''

The city is celebrating science as the five-day World Science Festival began Wednesday, and the festival includes an exhibit that is drawing some attention from folks at Brooklyn Bridge Park. NY1's Roger Clark filed the following report.
Something has landed in Brooklyn Bridge Park, and it appears to be from outer space. But don't be alarmed. It's just a scale model of a comet that is currently about 400 million miles from Earth.
"Think about them as like mountains of ice flying through space," said David Delgado of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The scale model replica of the Central Park-sized Churyumov-Gerasimenko Comet is part of the seventh World Science Festival, which runs through Sunday. It includes film screenings, readings, talks, stargazing and a street fair, and it's all about making science a little less intimidating for kids of all ages.
"Education isn't about 'this is good for you, eat your peas,'" said Tracy Day, co-founder and CEO of the World Science Festival. "It's really, if you can bring people the wonder of this content through storytelling and produced programs, it changes the way you view science."
The real-life version of the comet will be viewed up close pretty soon by a spacecraft called Rosetta, which will land on it in November after chasing it for 10 years. Kids from P.S. 107 in Park Slope got to hear from Art Chmielewski, NASA's project manager for the mission.
"We never landed on a comet. We've never been really close to a comet," Chmielewski said. "And comets hold keys to the early solar system."
Jason Klimoski of Brooklyn's STUDIOKCA Architects held the key to creating the Brooklyn version of the comet, including the cool vapors that emanate from it.
"Inside, there are these very, very small high-pressure nozzles. There's 65 of them, and we've run them on five different lines over what we're calling the brain, which is the inner workings of this nucleus," Klimoski said. Even though it's not as big as the real thing, the gang here was still impressed.
"I thought it was incredible," said Holly Chisholm, a student at P.S. 107. "I was like, 'What is that thing?'"
"I was like, 'Is that the actual size of the comet?' And I bet three times more mist comes out of that thing," said Naomi Ulman, a student at P.S. 107.
The festival runs through June 1. For tickets and exhibit information, visit worldsciencefestival.com.

December 22, 2014
A prisoner serving time for armed robbery and aggravated assault is on the streets tonight.
Darrell Crowder was working a shift on work release with Augusta's Transitional Center when he was reported missing.
Crowder was working his regular shift at Schlotzsky's deli on Washington Road last night. He was supposed to come straight back to the Transitional Center.
But that never happened.
45-year-old Darrell Crowder has been serving time in jail throughout the state for more than 20 years.
His crimes include armed robbery, aggravated assault, and even an escape.
Yet despite those charges he was recommended by a parole board to participate in a work release program here at Augusta's Transitional Center before he was to be released in the next six months.
Under state law, Crowder is allowed to participate in the work release program because most of the crimes were committed more than ten years ago.
The Department of Corrections tells News 12 that Crowder was considered a minimal security risk and has had no prior problems while working at Schlotzsky's.
They told News 12 it was "not a major incident" because Crowder was recommended by a parole board.
Darrell Crowder weighs 190 pounds and is about six feet tall.
Even though Crowder worked here in Augusta, he's not from this area, and the crimes he committed were not local, either.
Most of the crimes he committed occurred in Spaulding County, just south of Atlanta.
But before he came to Augusta he served at the men's state prison in Milledgeville.

James Jackson Putnam and the Legacy of Liberal Protestantism in Early American Psychotherapy
Rachael Rosner
Department of the History of Science
Harvard University
My work in the last year has centered on the questions: How and why did psychotherapy become a fixture of 20th century American life? How can we understand its broad and consistent appeal throughout the century? How can we understand this persistence despite frequent shifts in its practitioners, its theories, its patients, its targeted disorders -- indeed, when virtually everything about it is in a state of flux? At the moment I'm playing with the idea that we might be able to get deeper into these questions by examining the intersection of religious and medical impulses in American therapy. They seem to be ubiquitous. This paper represents one of my efforts towards that end.
There is a conundrum in the history of American psychotherapy with respect to the presence (and apparent absence) of religion, spirituality and the ministry. According to a 1980 government report, psychotherapists defined their practice as representing a "wide variety of treatments employed to ameliorate mental distress, mental illness, and problems of coping with daily life. Its practitioners, they report, are primarily psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and social workers" (US Office of Technology, 1980). Earlier in the century, however, indeed in the earliest years of American psychotherapy, Richard C. Cabot, instructor in Clinical Medicine at Harvard Medical School and one of the founders of American psychotherapy, defined psychotherapy as such:
I (define) psychotherapy as the attempt to help the sick by mental, moral, or spiritual methods… This fact has, I believe, been realized more fully in America than elsewhere, and it is for this reason that the American type of psychotherapy seems to me to be something distinguishable -- and in many respects superior to any other type now existing… It is becoming increasingly clear that for the best results in psychotherapy we must have the cooperation not only of minister and doctor, but of minister, doctor, and social worker. It is this, I think, which, more than anything else, characterizes the type of psychotherapy which has sprung up on American soil (Cabot, 1908, pp. 7-8).
Ministers, morality and spirituality are central to Cabot's definition of psychotherapy, but they are noticably absent from the U.S. Technology Office's definition, a definition that is representative of the beliefs of American psychotherapists in 1980. Where did the ministers go? Did they just disappear? Did religion and spirituality and morality just disappear?
Cultural critics in the 1960s, such as Philip Rieff and David Reisman, recognized that some of the sociological features of religion have been at the heart of the American psychotherapeutic experience; others, like Thomas Szasz invoked the religious dimensions of psychotherapy as a way of challenging its medical authority. But the history of the persistence of the sociological features of psychotherapy reminiscent of the sociology of religion, and the history of relationship (or lack thereof) between ministers, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists as practitioners of psychotherapy are virtually ignored. The historiographies of American psychotherapy and American pastoral counseling tend to remain delimited within their own spheres; histories of psychotherapy emphasize its medical and psychological origins, and histories of pastoral counseling emphasize its origin and development within the traditions of the Council for Clinical Training in Theology (CCTT) and Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE). Indeed, historians have given surprisingly little attention to the task of mapping out the particulars of this conundrum -- the questions of how and why religious features in American psychotherapy have persisted or not, and from where they might derive.
One of the more recent developments in the historiography of psychotherapy, however, has been the publication of Eric Caplan's Mind Games: American Culture and the Birth of Psychotherapy (Caplan 1998). Caplan is perhaps the first American historian to recognize the central influences of both medicine and the traditions of faith healing, Christian Science, and liberal protestantism in shaping American psychotherapy in the early 20th century.1 Caplan's book offers an excellent first chapter of the more comprehensive story of the origins of American psychotherapy in both medicine and religion. While some prominent American physicians, he argues, notably Morton Prince and James Jackson Putnam, had "flirted" with psychotherapeutic techniques around the turn of the century, it remained a rather marginal practice. Most physicians practiced a materialistic approach to nervous and mental illnesses, preferring to treat them either with hydrotherapy or electrotherapy, or with physically-based cures such as the rest cure (Weir Mitchell). Psychotherapy as a recognizable medical entity did not explode into the American consciousness until 1906 with the Emmanuel Movement. The Emmanuel Movement, a church-based interdisciplinary initiative at the Emmanuel Church on Newbury St. in Boston offered in the progressive spirit of the social gospel and supported by leaders of the Boston medical community, provided medico-spiritual treatment (free of charge) to psychoneurotic patients. While medical doctors such as Putnam and Isidor Coriat provided neurological evaluations to patients coming to the Emmanuel church, it was the ministers who provided most of the spiritual and psychotherapeutic counseling.
The ministers at Emmanuel Church were so successful in their treatments, and demand across the country exploded so rapidly for similar Emmanuel-type centers, that physicians feared they had committed professional suicide. They turned-coat and, with much effort, harnassed the rhetorical authority of science and medicine to argue successfully that doctors, not ministers, should practice psychotherapy. James Jackson Putnam was the most visible and vocal of these physicians both in his initial support for the movement and in his later repudiation of it. Caplan argues that the significance of the Emmanuel Movement for the history of American psychotherapy was the fact that it galvanized the medical community not only into an official acknowledgement of the medical legitimacy of psychotherapy but also into a full-scale colonization of its practice.
I would like to pick up where Caplan left off. Historians typically recognize the mental hygiene movement (Pols, 1997) or the reception of psychoanalysis in America (Hale, Burnham) as the next mileposts in the story of American therapy. But I think there was a crucial intermediary step, an overlooked "chapter two", that witnessed an integration of religious and even theological mandates into the calculus of medical psychotherapy. Despite the rapid dissolution of Emmanuel-type centers after 1908, the cultural press continued for psychotherapists to provide integrated medical and religious systems -- to offer moral and empathic consolation in lieu of materialistic cures, to provide a sympathetic ear and gentle guidance with respect to some of the most personal issues. All of the medical psychotherapists post-1908 had to address these popular demands. The years immediately following the demise of the Emmanuel Movement (1908-1917), then, are most notable for the broad-based efforts of medical psychotherapists to offer theological and moral imperatives along with their otherwise entirely materalistic systems. Many of them published, for the first time, ethical and even theological programs representing personal religious beliefs as part of medical treatises on psychotherapy. Pastoral Counseling, also an outgrowth of the Emmanuel Movement, emerged in these same years and in the same spirit: Ministers forged alliances with hospitals in order to fashion an interdisciplinary program that treated the spiritual suffering of the mentally and physically ill in hospitals and in parishes. But in this paper I will examine closely the work in the post-Emmanuel Movement years of James Jackson Putnam and Richard C. Cabot, perhaps the most religiously-inclined as well as most celebrated members of the Boston school of psychotherapy.
Putnam, when he rejected the prospect of ministers turning into physicians, nonetheless remained sanguine about physicians annexing some of the duties of the minister. He alluded to this belief in an oft-cited letter to the Rev. Elwood Worcester of the Emmanuel Movement, where Putnam tried tactfully but forcefully to urge Worcester to cease encroaching on Putnam's professional jurisdiction:
I have, for my part, already taken steps to express publicly my views as to the rational basis of religion in a way to make them appeal a little to physicians… I regard it as the physician's duty to see that his patients are not suffering for lack of moral and religious teaching...2
But Putnam was more explicit about the depth and breadth of this venture into ministry in his correspondence with Sigmund Freud. He confessed to Freud several years later that he experienced a certain kind of religious turning around the time of the Emmanuel Movement (1908):
Until recently I have had no religion at all, properly speaking, and was ready to let 'natural science' be the arbiter of everything. Within the past few years I have changed in this respect… Psychologic observation of ourselves teaches us much, but it teaches us nothing with regard to the essential nature of the universe or of ourselves… Our psychopathic patients need, I think, something more than simply to learn to know themselves. If there are reasons why they should adopt higher views of their obligations (as based on the belief that this is a morally conceived universe, and that 'free-will' has a real meaning, then these reasons ought to be made known to us.3
In their lengthy correspondence, published by Nathan Hale in 1971, Putnam asserted repeatedly the increasing influence of religious ideals in his work: "I believe that no patient is really cured unless he becomes better and broader morally, and, conversely, I believe that a moral regeneration helps towards a removal of the symptoms."4 He believed that sublimation alone was insufficient to cure his patients; they needed to understand the higher and greater purpose of the universe and of God, and in so doing of sublimating their energies in morally "right" directions.
By 1915 Putnam had published his emergent theology in a book entitled Human Motives, a book manifestly designed to introduce Freud's psychoanalytic ideas to an American audience. But Putnam's additional agenda was to add a series of moral imperatives to psychoanalysis: "I … heard a distinguished and clear-thinking professor of philosophy… assert that if God exists, it must be as an influence or energy penetrating the universe as an essential feature of it and as present in every detail and part of it, and that in fact he believed this to be the case. This is my own opinion." (p. 44 Putnam, Human Motives). The striving towards one's best potentials, in the spirit of his unitarian and transcendentalist roots, was at the base of Putnam's psychotherapeutic program after 1908. Putnam's response to the impact of the Emmanuel Movement, in other words, was to build both a theology and a moral system for the physician to use, one rooted in Putnam's private religious experience but one that expressed the values of the larger, protestant and social community in which he lived and worked. In Putnam's eyes the physician could easily serve as both doctor and minister; he offered (what Susan Lanzoni calls) an intradisciplinary model.
Richard C. Cabot, in contrast, was less optimistic than Putnam that physicians had the right "stuff" for the ministry -- even though he agreed with Putnam entirely that it was now incumbent on physicians to take into account these religious imperatives. Cabot confessed to Putnam a lack of confidence in his own fitness, and in the fitness of most of his medical colleagues, for the tasks that psychotherapy now demanded of them:
… I have for some time maintained that the training of physicians does not fit them for the treatment of psychoneuroses, and the recent discussions in relation to psychoanalysis makes me even more emphatically of this opinion
… So long as our doctors are so fundamentally uneducated, that is, so long as they perversely insist on regarding medical science as a branch of natural history, I shall continue to fear that some strong, sensible journal like Collier's weekly will get up and expose the lot of us, showing how we practice pseudo-science instead of the real article, and bunglingly interfere in provinces better understood by laymen.5
He proposed instead a system where ministers and secular equivalents of the ministry --social workers and educators -- would help physicians do psychotherapeutic work:
If an alliance is desirable, I believe myself that the fittest people to be allied with the physicians in this movement to-day are the social workers. I think the social workers, -- what we used to call the 'charity' workers -- are the best, the wisest, the most spiritual people in the community -- more spiritual in my opinion, more religious, even, than the clergy. Therefore I believe that they should be allied with the physician in carrying out his work.
So a patient may be treated by ordinary physical methods alone; but if, without giving up anything that medicine has taught us so far, we work upon the social, moral and spiritual side of each patient's nature, I think we shall see in the future, through the alliance of medicine with the minister, the social worker or the educator, or by such a reform of medical men as will make them include and treat all sides of human suffering, a far greater help for the diseases with which our bodies are burdened.6
Cabot was finely-tuned to social gospel and progressivist trends. He had published an analysis of several cases from Emmanuel church in Outlook, a social gospel and progressivist journal, and he founded the department of social work at Mass. General Hospital. Cabot's interests in team-work and social service are evidence of his commitment to the central tenets of the social gospel and certainly to a kind of "social christianity", an extension of the social gospel that did not rely to as great an extent on any kind of immanent theology (Dorn, 1995). Cabot redefined religion to downplay its theological dimensions: "I mean by religion the deepest that there is in any human being. When you reach the core of any man, you reach, it seems to me, the divine spark in him, that is, you reach his religion. That center, that core as I have called it, lies behind and issues in all that he does… The point of view of religion is one of hope and confidence in the fundamental rightness of things" (p. 47). Still, Cabot was deeply committed to the view that ministers should have a share in psychotherapeutic healing, albeit so long as they did not attempt to engage in medical healing. In that vein he was also instrumental in founding the Council for the Clinical Training in Theology, an early incarnation of the Pastoral Counseling movement. In the end he had successfully established institutional support for the practice of psychotherapy by physicians, on the one hand, by social workers on the other hand, and by ministers on yet another.
It is tempting to think of the reactions of Putnam and Cabot as outliers from, or exceptions to, the sentiments of the general community of Boston medical psychotherapists. Putnam and Cabot were, after all, the most publicly religious and moralistic members of their community. But such was not the case in the years following the decline of the Emmanuel Movement. Virtually all of the prominent members of the Boston school of psychotherapy made their voices heard after 1908 with their own solutions to the religious problem that the Emmanuel Movement urged on them. For instance, Morton Prince and the faculty at Tufts University tried to solve this problem by offering two different courses on psychotherapy, one exclusively for medical students (taught by Prince) and the other exclusively for divinity students, taught by Rev. Shields7, a student of Worcester and McComb. The Boston Evening Record, noting these new developments at Tufts, admitted that the Emmanuel Movement had reshaped the landscape of medical psychotherapy: "Even the critics of the Emmanuel Movement… admit that it is part of a great movement… " The Herald reported that "these two "psycho" courses at one of the most enterprising of our Eastern colleges should help to remove the grounds of such criticism by supplying a better quality of scientific training to such divinity students as are drawn towards the new ideas.. We believe this is the first course of lectures of this kind in any medical college in this country."8
Other prominent members of the Boston School of Psychotherapy proposed different solutions. Hugo Münsterberg, the eminent Harvard psychologist, responded in 1909 with a large treatise on psychotherapy suggesting that psychologists, rather than physicians or ministers, were best suited to bridge the worlds of medicine and religion (Munsterberg 1909). Isador Coriat, a Boston neurologist and son of Moroccan Jewish immigrants who remained a loyal consultant to the Emmanuel Church long after Putnam turned away, continued to conceive of his work as an integration of religion and medicine even after he became a psychoanalyst. He argued that the psychoanalyst was "capable of combining the roles of physician and minister" (Sicherman, p. 172). It is also worth noting that prominent physicians outside of Boston responded similarly; James J. Walsh, for instance, Dean and Professor of Functional Nervous Disorders at Fordham University School of Medicine, published in 1913 a 780-page textbook on psychotherapy dedicated to "the Jesuits… To whom the author owes a happy introduction to the intellectual life and constantly renewed inspiration in his work." Indeed, despite the overwhelming amount of medical information in the book, Walsh ultimately gave religion the last word. The final appendix of the book was dedicated to the subject of "Religion and Psychotherapy;" and Walsh ended the book by reminding his readers that "we are here on trial for another world is the thought that in the past strengthened men to bear all manner of ills, if not with equanimity, at least without exaggerated reaction. It has still the power to do so for all those who accept it simply and sincerely" (p. 780) (Walsh 1913).
Historians have rightly observed that Putnam, Cabot, Prince and the others used a flourish of rhetoric about the greater value of science and medicine over religion in their efforts to buttress the leadership of the medical profession in psychotherapeutic practice in the post-Emmanuel Movement years. But this was not their only, or even most successful, line of defense. In this paper I am arguing that they also tried to outwit the ministers at their own game as spiritual leaders. They shored up their personal religious and spiritual philosophies, certainly philosophies that would have been of little rhetorical or practical value to them in the purely materialistic framework of late 19th century neurology, and integrated these philosophies into their emerging "psychologo-medical" calculus. This new calculus (to borrow a phrase from Caplan) of medical psychotherapy now demanded not only technologies of symptom-reduction, or even knowledge of psychological response-times, but also programs of faith, rooted in the social gospel and other liberal protestant ideals, with which to rectify and build upon the perceived moral lassitude of urban patients. The appearance of Freud and his entourage at Clark University in 1909 could not have been more propitious. The purely psychological framework of psychoanalysis offered a crucial bridge, in secular language, between their materialistic past and their new medico-spiritual undertaking.
Now, to return to the question: Where did the ministers go? Part of the answer lies in the emergence of pastoral counseling. When ministers retreated from psychotherapy in the wake of the Emmanuel Movement they nonetheless continued its practice in a more limited form and realized it institutionally in the creation of pastoral counseling. Richard Cabot is the one physician from the cohort of Emmanuel Movement physicians to influence directly the creation of pastoral counseling. But many of the ministers involved in Emmanuel-type healing guided the next generation of students of the ministry towards the kind of clinical consciousness that the Emmanuel Movement had awakened. And these ministers, most notably Anton Boisen, crafted the template for pastoral counseling that has endured to this day.
Another, and perhaps more overlooked, part of the answer to the question of the missing ministers suggests that the aim, if not the bodies, of the ministers remained present in the program for medical psychotherapeutics that neurologists and psychiatrists adopted after 1908. American psychotherapy retained its cultural power in part because its early medical practitioners concocted a potent mixture of ethics, spirituality, science and medicine that satisfied a public hungry for Emmanuel-type healing.
I'd like to end by looking more speculatively toward the implications of these ideas. This interdisciplinary moment in the formation of a uniquely American psychotherapy might offer historians a new way of linking the Emmanuel Movement with other later but equally significant psychotherapeutic moments in American history that typically are understood only in secular terms. For instace, the mental hygiene movement of the 1920s. Mental Hygiene psychiatrists, as Hans Pols has shown, preached a philosophy of "positive adjustment", a socialization process whereby they might prevent children and young adults from falling into the pits of mental illness. While this concept of "adjustment" has been linked to Adolf Meyer's philosophy of the organism in its environment, it is equally derivative of social gospel, progressivist and liberal protestant ideals. Social gospelers argued that teamwork and social relations were the path towards salvation in an economy where work was growing increasingly mundane and social roles becoming increasingly diffuse. Suffering, from this standpoint, was redefined as being lonely, isolated, unable to function and work cooperatively with others, being unable to find meaning in one's life's work or in one's social relations. Social adjustment, facilitated by this new moral concoction of early medical psychotherapists, became crucial not only for an industrial and corporate economy but also for the spiritual salvation of individuals here on earth.

The abs and engine lights are always on. When I park in drive-way with a little slope downward it will try to kick over but doesn't. This happens occasionally. Battery is new, plugs new, plug wires new, plenty of high octane gas. If I let it rest for 3-5 minutes while the engine is still cold it will then turn over. When parked in the garage or at work on level ground it kicks over every time. I have 237,000 on it...

Another goal that will never be "finished" but I'm going to count it as "well established" and use the 43Things list for more specific, smaller goals. 9 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.

I had lunch yesterday with the guys, who spent most of the meal teasing each other and me. It's rare that we get to sit at a table together, and this summer, we'll be all over the place.
Burgers never tasted so good. 9 years ago
and I treasure the relationship I have with each of them. We're not "pals"
- I'm Mom - but we love and trust each other.
My relationship with my own parents has been awkward and difficult, and I don't ever want to let things between me and my own children deteriorate to that point. 9 years ago

2012: Here and elsewhere in Pennsylvania
What's in a name?
Penn State's OTHER statue
The outcast
Joe Paterno's fall from grace has been remarkably swift. No sooner did the Freeh Report hit the street than entities ranging from Nike to Brown University to "Paternoville" itself got busy disassociating themselves with the late coach.
JoePa continues to have his defenders, but their numbers are tiny compared to those nationwide. The man whose name once was always preceded by the words "legendary football coach" is now viewed as much as a "pedophile enabler."
JoePa and the victim
Six feet under
Goodbye, Joe
It's hero time!
The state's investigation into child-sexual-abuse allegations against former Penn State defensive co-ordinator Jerry Sandusky began under then-state attorney-general Tom Corbett, the current occupant of our governor's mansion. Corbett took the governor's seat on the Penn State Board of Trustees, but even then never gave any indication to the board about the Sandusky probe.
Why? Well, the governor claims he was legally barred from divulging any information regarding a grand jury investigation (fair enough) and that he wanted to ensure a successful prosecution by gathering evidence of other acts by Sandusky. Meanwhile, Sandusky was free to go about his "business."
Corbett defends his inaction and bridles at any suggestion he should have pulled the trigger on the grand jury's findings years ago (although it's worth mentioning that doing so might have negatively impacted his run for governor). The governor's spokesman has gone so far as to call his boss a hero.
I don't know about that. I do know that politicians and elected officials often have a warped sense of priorities.

I've been with Percona for about 5 years, so I can tell you: it's probably the best company to work at: great pay, great benefits, great people, and truly driven by a desire to do right by customers and do good work. What more can you ask for? Of course, all these jobs are MySQL-related: Perl + MySQL, PHP + MySQL–maybe the UI/UX job less so, but still close enough.

vacation homes and pavilions that can be found on ocean coasts and riverbanks.
But, more than that, Beachlife also includes furniture and products made for the
seaside as well as original projects by creatives from around the world, who have
discovered the beach as a location for experimental art, temporary installations
and events.
The numerous examples in Beachlife deliver new and unusual insights into how
the beach can be presented and utilised creatively not only as a place for
relaxation and inspiration, but also as an attitude and way of life.

GPCA 2010: Demand Rebounds but Supply Additions Still Loom
2:39 PM MST | December 7, 2010 | Lindsey Bewley in Dubai
Demand for global petrochemicals has rebounded stronger than expected in 2010, Gary Adams, president of CMAI (Houston) told attendees at the fifth annual GPCA Forum currently being held in Dubai. Demand is being driven by emerging economies, with Asia and India leading the way, Adams says. "The rebound has been quite strong, and demand growth is now tracking at just over 5%/year," Adams says. Between 2000-2005 the demand for basic petrochemicals and plastics was growing by about 20 million m.t./year; CMAI now expects growth to be about 35 million-40 million m.t./year between 2010-2015....
