Hello MG mate a lot of the LEDs used for the charge light actually change colour so say for charging they will glow yellow for example and then green for fully charged.
Now depending on what sort of LED/s it is either means you have to replace the charging one or the whole thing as some LEDs work on circuitry that will change the colour depending on the stored charge ie volts and theoretical available current.
this may give you an idea on what I am saying https://www.sparkfun.com/products/105? &
Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Having said all that to replace is no mean feat you need to be able to disassemble the machine and from experience those LEDs are very small. For what it is worth my friend I would just accept that the fully charged comes on if it doesn't well something is wrong either with the battery or adaptor
Oh by the way I meant to mention my Toshiba's show me when power is hooked up too so in effect I have three LED indicators on the machine

@ICit2lol, thanks for d reply. It shows white light when pluged to Alternating Current Socket, and the white light is off immediately instead of showing AMBER-COLOUR which indicates CURRENTLY CHARGING, but nothing like that. It only shows back the white light when fully charged. Pls what can I do to rectify this? Any Idea???

I don't think so MG mate as one of the the LEDs has either gone south.
There is usually three indicating LEDs as you say one for the power is hooked up one for charge and one for fully charged or sometimes you can get dual and triple element LEDs that work off different sensing circuits.
Another more likely cause is the circuitry driving the LED set up has - that is to say the charging level detection is malfunctioning for some reason. So if you cannot do this job yourself and personally it sounds very fiddly, probably difficult without expensive equipement - not to mention the arm and a leg they will charge you for doing the job.
So I guess it is really up to watching that the fully charged comes on and making sure the battery is holding th charge for a reasonable time . Lithium batteries do have a finite shelf life which starts from the day they are manufactured and three years is "getting on" for a lithium based battery.

Heat Sensor
This simple heat sensor circuit acts as a warning device whenever the temperature exceeds the preset level in its vicinity. It is an ideal circuit to monitor the heat generating devices like PC, Inverter etc. The circuit is compact and can be incorporated in the device itself.
The heat sensing element is the NTC Thermister and its resistance drops when the temperature increases. The image below shows how a NTC Thermister looks like:
This Heat Sensor Circuit can be powered from the device itself or use two 3 volt lithium cells. If it is used in PC, 5 volt DC can be tapped from the USB port. Use a small DC buzzer that works off 3-12 volt DC.

The significance of school libraries in the educational development of students: the case of Novena University Staff School, Kwale, Delta State, Nigeria.
Children and their teachers need library resources and the expertise of a librarian (1) A person who works in the data library and keeps track of the tapes and disks that are stored and logged out for use. Also known as a "file librarian" or "media librarian." See data library.

School libraries help children to discover for themselves by independent study and learning how to ask questions. This study assesses the educational development of students and library use by students and the problems encountered. The population for the study is students from the Novena novena (nōvē`nə) [Lat.,=a group of nine], in the Roman Catholic Church, primarily a series of public or private prayers extending over nine consecutive days, especially nine days preceding a feast. They often carry an indulgence. University staff school.

Secondary students in the university's staff school were surveyed to find their experience with and views on library service.
A questionnaire was used to gather data for this study. Questionnaires were administered to 200 students of Novena University staff school, with 198 returned.
Findings and Discussion
Responses were fairly evenly divided by gender, with males having a slight majority.
The largest number of respondents In the context of marketing research, a representative sample drawn from a larger population of people from whom information is collected and used to develop or confirm marketing strategy. were aged between 15 and 16.
A majority of respondents were from Senior Secondary 2 at 126 (63%). This could be the result of availability of students at the time of the study.
The vast majority of students (81%) say that they use the library.
Less than one quarter of respondents use the library frequently, with nearly three quarters using it occasionally.
A clear majority feel that using the school library helps students be academically better.
More than 80 percent of respondents find the library's resources inadequate.
Response to this question is mixed, with nearly one-third undecided, and a quarter thinking it "false."

Nearly 80 percent of respondents find that the library does not satisfy their educational needs.
Nearly all respondents are not provided audiovisual See A/V. materials by the library.
A similar large majority find that there is not enough reading room in the library.
More than three quarters of respondents say that there is not professional librarian.
Distance to the library is not a problem for almost 90 percent of respondents.
Only 14 percent of respondents always get the information they need at the library.
Conclusion and Recommendations
The survey shows that most students who responded are not satisfied with the services and collections of their school library. The literature demonstrates the importance of a good school library in students' academic achievement. Based on the importance and the benefits of the school library to both staff and the students, the author has the following recommendations:
* The school library should have a professional librarian to render (1) To make visible; to draw. The term comes from the graphics world where a rendering is an artist's drawing of what a new structure would look like. In computer-aided design (CAD), a rendering is a particular view of a 3D model that has been converted into a realistic image. effective services to staff and students
* The teacher/librarian should organize orientation, films, exhibitions, and displays to create awareness of the library service to users.
* The library should take steps to enhance its collections and resources with material for both staff and students that meets their educational needs and developments and augments classroom teachings.
* Students need audiovisual materials as well as print and other formats.
* The library should provide adequate recreational and information materials to arouse student interest
* The library should provide adequate reading and study space.

Slept in a little, went to the gym, and then the stress began, my man leaves debit card at home and can't reach me cuz I'm working out for a couple hours. I was told dinner was at 5, but I guess they changed it to 3, my family from the states say they'll call me on skype at 2...I get ready drive over to Earl's moms and get computer up and talk to a friend in Aussie on Skype...and then it stops working...I try with my iphone, but that doesnt last, and finally I use a phone card! My plate breaks in 1/2 and all over the table, my man backs his car into a tree, and I fall down some stairs!!! SERIOUSLY! LOL And neither of us drink! Man....now pain pills, heatpad, and hopefully I can still workout tomorrow...Last day of Bootcamp!!
I hope everyone had a less eventful Christmas!!!! LOL
Good Night!~
Those were the words out of an 11 year old's mouth today when she saw my "lack of tummy!"...LOL
I always say a compliment from a man is nice.
A compliment from a gay man is even better (It's true and they don't want to get into your pants)
But a compliment from a child....PRICELESS!!! (honesty without a buffer!!!)
It's been a rough couple days for me as most know from my previous blogs...
Today I am blogging early in the day as I sit here at my Hair Spa getting my every 5 week Platinum touch up done and cut. I love being pampered and I don't think most people do it enough for themselves. Women take care of so many other people and put others first and Oprah has taught me in the last 38 years that you have to do things that fill you up and make your soul happy.
I am a hairdresser, Image consultant, makeup artist, beauty therapist, personal trainer, weight loss consultant, nail tech, and soon Nutritionist....I sit and listen to people and help them...that weighs on me sometimes. I want everyone to be happy, healthy and feel on top of the world!!! I believe a bit of pampering NEEDS to be part of every woman's life!!! For your body, skin, soul, and special time!!! It puts a pep in my step, makes me feel stronger when I walk out the door everyday...a great cut, perfect skin care, and the right colours are worth the investment!!!!
My grandfather always taught me that you should never skimp on your teeth and your shoes....I will add...or yourself!!!! My hair gets done every 5 weeks and it's $205.....HOWEVER....I rarely pay that amount because I am stopped at least twice a day and complimented on my hair...they get a card from me to bring here and they get $20 off their first visit and I get $20 off for the referral!!! PLUS...it makes my day!!!! :) HA HA Within my 5 weeks away...usually 3 have come in :)
There is a saying I firmly believe in now...heard it about 10 years ago... IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN A COMPLIMENT ON YOUR HAIR IN 6 WEEKS, CHANGE IT NOW!!!!!
I went dark a couple times, and the comments I got were "Oh...you changed your hair"....yea....that's a comment...NOT a compliment...and I didn't give out any cards! LOL Went back to this style and colour and gave out 5 that following day!!!!!! REAFFIRMED!!!! LOL
It's funny....my hair has become part of my identity...and even my man's...we get our hair done and share hair product!!! It shows our personalities and when people describe us, that's the first thing they start with...even over me being American!!! The Blonde American who wears Makeup and from Chicago! That's me! :) PROUD OF IT ALL!
So....I challenge all of you to do something nice for yourself on a regular basis! It may be buying a really cool bath bomb and enjoying it with some music...it may be a manicure, or massage....but do something! YOU DESERVE IT!
hate the weather - Really wish Christmas would be over and I could get back to work and normal life. Missing my friends and my grandparents who've passed....a warm Christmas is wrong and there's no friends and family here for me, so...I'm having a wee pity party tonight and a wee cry. This is NOT my normal self and hate it when I get this way...just gets to me. Sorry the whining...I try to get at least 100 points a day and needed the blog! LOL
I have never been a fan of Summer! I HATE it! Most people lose weight in summer and gain in winter...I am the opposite! It's too hot, I get headaches, I'm tired, and I don't feel like cooking or going anywhere. It's been over 90 degrees here the last couple of days and it sucks! OKAY...there's my whining...
I still exercised...does anyone have the problem of having huge boobs and your shoulders hurt after exercise from the weight in your sports bra pulling down on your shoulders? The last 2 days I am really hurting...think I need to schedule some acupuncture time. He always makes me feel better! My boobs don't shrink either! forever a 34G! As is Good Lord! Just curious if anyone has found a solution for this issue! LOL I'm all boobs...oops I mean ears!
Food was fine, exercise was fine, and I found out that my goal of getting on the Top 10 Users at my gym list is gonna be interesting...but they offer a prize for number 1!!! Usually $150 and flowers. The top person last month had 40 visits! So far the top has 20 and I have 14!!!! That's not too bad!!! I think I will attempt this challenge in January/February!!! 2 times a day...should be insane and interesting! I am a prize and recognition whore so I want on that list and number 1 would be even better! She said usually those people come in the morning and do cardio and then come at night and do weights....sounds reasonable...LOL....I'm game!!!
Well, I have moved furniture around today. lots of serious cleaning and now need to put some pressies together for my clients!
OH I ALMOST FORGOT!! I have had these adidas shorts for about 6 years but haven't fit in them in over 4...so I gave them to my man...today I reclaimed them...THEY FIT!!!! WHOO HOO!!!!

- 3 hr 15 min
- Yield:
- 8 to 10 servings
- Level:
- Easy
- One 8- to 10-pound bone-in, smoked, fully-cooked ham, butt or shank portion
- 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice (3 to 4 lemons)
- 1/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
- 1/2 cup hot pepper jelly
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 jalapeno, halved, seeded and sliced
Let the ham sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Trim off any skin from the ham if needed. Score the ham through the fat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern without cutting into the meat. Place the ham, flat-side down, on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1/4 inch of water into the bottom of the pan. Roast the ham until it reaches an internal temperature of about 130 degrees F, about 2 1/2 hours or 15 minutes per pound.
Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon and lime juices, pepper jelly, Worcestershire sauce and jalapeno in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and reduce until thickened to about 3/4 cup, about 20 minutes.
Remove the ham from the oven when it has reached 130 degrees F internally. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Spoon or brush half of the glaze all over the ham. Add water as needed to the bottom of the pan. Return the ham to the oven and roast, basting every 10 minutes with the remaining glaze until glossy, glazed and well browned, about 45 minutes more.

Airfare Expert: Finding cheap flights to Spain
There are so many reasons to visit Spain: wonderful climate, excellent food and wine plus an exceptional cultural and historical heritage. The most popular tourism centers in Spain are its most populous cities: Madrid and Barcelona. Here are some tips on finding cheap flights to Spain.
Sponsored Links
How much will my flight to Spain cost?
Late summer and early fall, departures to Spain can be found from larger cities on the East Coast for under $700 round trip, with fares from West Coast airports running slightly over $900.
MORE AIRFARE ADVICE: Traveling to Europe in 2011
Flights to Madrid are typically about 10% cheaper than Barcelona, mainly due to more traffic to Madrid (more seats typically means better prices).
Remember fuel surcharges and taxes are over $500 round trip, so on some of these $650 round-trip flights, the actual fare is under $100 each way.
Prices go up by a couple of hundred dollars for travel starting in mid-December through Christmas, then settle back down until major increases in late March.
DESTINATION GUIDE: What to see and do in Madrid
DESTINATION GUIDE: The best of Barcelona
When should I shop for tickets?
For the cheapest flights to Spain, follow the same seasonal rules for the rest of Europe: summer is prime tourism season and therefore the most expensive time to fly; bargains are available in fall and winter, especially the last weeks of November and early December.
Start shopping for airfare about five months in advance. Keep your eye out for those seasonal price-breaks mentioned above and if your plans call for travel during the off-peak seasons, you can probably wait as long as a month before you buy. If you plan to visit Spain over the holidays, don't wait as long, as flight prices may rise closer to Christmas.
ALSO ONLINE: Can you get a refund if airfare falls after booking?
Should I fly or take trains within Spain?
There are plenty of reasonably priced flights between Barcelona and Madrid. However, some travelers prefer the AVE high speed rail line, which connects the two cities in less than three hours. It can be a good backup if you can't score those sub-$70 roundtrip airfares.
Is getting to Spain cheaper by flying via another European capital?
It can be if you pack light. For example, over the weekend we saw flights between New York and Barcelona for about $710 round-trip while flights between New York and Dublin were about $540. Low-cost airlines like Ryanair have deals for under $100 between Dublin and Barcelona, so you could save money by adding the stopover, or you could combine a trip to Ireland and Spain for a little less than Barcelona alone. The advice to pack light is due to Ryanair's dreaded baggage fees, which are calculated by weight and could offset the lower fare if you're not careful.
Airport tips
Madrid-Barajas International (MAD) is ideally positioned just under six miles from the city's financial district and only eight miles from the historic Puerta del Sol. The airport is served by American, Delta, United/Continental and US Airways as well as a huge roster of airlines from around the world. It also acts as a hub for Iberia and several discount carriers like EasyJet, Ryanair, and Spanair.
Getting to/from Madrid's airport: Budget travelers can grab a ride on the Madrid Metro by purchasing a Travel Pass. The Metro has airport stops in Terminal 2 and Terminal 4. Transit to/from the airport is about $4; consider buying one of several multi-use/multi-day passes (a week-long pass for unlimited public transportation to the most popular tourism areas is just $31.)
Barcelona El Prat Airport (BCN) is located just eight miles from the city center. It is served by American, Continental, Delta and US Airways plus numerous international and discount airlines, including EasyJet and Ryanair.
Getting to/from Barcelona's airport: Besides taxis and rental cars, the RENFE train or Aerobus service transports you to the city center. Note that Barcelona's metro system does not have direct service to the airport. Consider purchasing a Barcelona Card for unlimited rides on public buses, the rail system and the metro as well as free entrance or discounts on popular attractions and dining. Prices range from $38-$62 depending on length of pass, with discounts for kids 12 and under.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of joint disease, and it is often associated with significant disability and an impaired quality of life. A number of trials have suggested a relationship between weight loss and clinical benefit in patients diagnosed particularly with knee osteoarthritis, prompting a Danish study team to assess and quantify whether clinical benefits are evident when overweight patients achieve a weight loss.
A total of 23 clinical trials were identified by the study team. Among these, 4 trials met pre-determined inclusion criteria and provided data suitable for further analysis. Three randomized controlled trials (4 intervention/control groups, n=417) reported changes in pain and disability, with 2 trials reporting changes in the Lequesne index, assessing pain, walking and function (n=117).
The association between improvement in physical disability and weight reduction was convincing, and showed that disability reduction could be predicted with great certainty from weight loss.
Whilst the team were not able to predict the clinical efficacy of pain reduction (owing to contradictory results from published trials), meta-regression evidence shows that osteoarthritis patients will experience at least a moderate clinical effect in their physical disability (ES>0.5) with a moderate dietary regime following more than 7.6% weight reduction. In addition, statistical models predicted that even a modest weight loss of more than 5.02% and an intensity of at least 0.25% per week, respectively - would result in a significant disability reduction.
"Based on the pooled analysis from 3 randomised controlled trials, we can provide category 1a evidence that weight reduction does reduce the pain and physical disability in knee OA patients. As such, weight reduction therapy in overweight osteoarthritic patients is a very appealing goal, both with regards to disease specific pain and disability reduction as well as for overall health benefits such as cardiovascular risk reduction" explained study author Robin Christensen, The Parker Institute, HS Frederiksberg Hospital, Copenhagen. "Weight loss is quite possible in these patients in spite of the lack of mobility and physical exercise, often associated with progression of osteoarthritis. A 10% reduction in body weight results in a moderate to large improvement in self reported physical disability; attention from the health care providers is necessary in support of patients learning to cope with a 'double chronic disease' - i.e. both knee osteoarthritis and obesity" he concluded.

Goodbye Public Investment
As the following chart from the Financial Times shows, public sector gross capital investment–which includes government spending on infrastructure, scientific research, education, and other long-term priorities–is now at its lowest level since 1950 as a percent of GDP.
Perhaps even more worrying, net government investment, which takes depreciation into account, is heading towards zero.
Removing spending on defense from the total leaves an even more depressing picture. The Financial Times evaluated all the major budget proposals currently being considered by Congress, and finds, as illustrated in the next chart, that all of them involve significant reductions in non-defense public investment over the next decade.
Slashing public investment is not the way to a healthy economy.
Worries About Inequality
The Wall Street Journal had an interesting article about income inequality.
What follows is a chart from the article which shows that average income for the bottom 90% of families actually fell by over 10% from 2002-2012 while the average income for families in all the top income groups grew. The top 0.01% of families actually saw their average yearly income grow from a bit over $12 million to over $21 million over the same period. And that is adjusted for inflation and without including capital gains.
What was most interesting about the article was its discussion of the dangers of this trend and the costs of reversing it. In brief, the article noted that many financial analysts now worry that inequality has gotten big enough to threaten the future economic and political stability of the country. At the same time, it also pointed out that doing anything about it will likely threaten profits. As the article notes:
But if inequality has risen to a point in which investors need to be worried, any reversal might also hurt.
One reason U.S. corporate profit margins are at records is the share of revenue going to wages is so low. Another is companies are paying a smaller share of profits on taxes. An economy where income and wealth disparities are smaller might be healthier. It would also leave less money flowing to the bottom line, something that will grab fund managers' attention.
Any bets how those in the financial community will evaluate future policy choices?
For A Stronger Public Sector
The current economic recovery officially began June 2009 and is one of the weakest in the post-World War II period by almost every indicator except growth in profits.
One reason it has offered working people so little is the contraction of government spending and employment. This may sound strange given the steady drumbeat of articles and speeches demanding a further retrenchment of government involvement in the economy, but the fact is that this drumbeat is masking the reality of the situation.
The figure below shows the growth in real spending by federal, state and local governments in the years before and after recessions. The black line shows the average change in public spending over the six business cycles between 1948 and 1980. Each blue line shows government spending for a different recent business cycle and the red line does the same for our current cycle. As you can see, this expansionary period stands out for having the slowest growth in public spending. In fact, in contrast to other recovery periods, public spending is actually declining.
According to Josh Bivens:
public spending following the Great Recession is the slowest on record, and as of the second quarter of 2013 stood roughly 15 percent below what it would have been had it simply matched historical averages. . . . if public spending since 2009 had matched typical business cycles, this spending would be roughly $550 billion higher today, and more than 5 million additional people would have jobs (and most of these would be in the private sector).
The basic stagnation in government spending has actually translated into a significant contraction in public employment. The figure below highlights just how serious the trend is by comparing public sector job growth in the current recovery to the three prior recovery periods.
As Josh Bivens and Heidi Shierholz explain:
the public sector has shed 737,000 jobs since June 2009. However, this raw job-loss figure radically understates the drag of public-sector employment relative to how this sector has normally performed during economic recoveries . . . . (P)ublic-sector employment should naturally grow as the overall population grows. Between 1989 and 2007, for example, the ratio of public employment to overall population was remarkably stable at roughly 7.3 public sector workers for each 100 members of the population. Today's ratio is 6.9, and if it stood at the historic average of 7.3 instead, we would have 1.3 million more public sector jobs today.
In short, the challenge we face is not deciding between alternative ways to further shrink the public sector but rather of designing and building support for well financed public programs to restructure our economy and generate living wage jobs.
Unhappy Labor Day
As the Wall Street Journal reports:
Four years into the economic recovery, U.S. workers' pay still isn't even keeping up with inflation. The average hourly pay for a nongovernment, non-supervisory worker, adjusted for price increases, declined to $8.77 last month from $8.85 at the end of the recession in June 2009, Labor Department data show.
In other words, as the chart below illustrates, the great majority of workers are experiencing real wage declines over this expansion.
Growth also remains sluggish, increasing "at a seasonally adjusted annual pace of less than 2% for three straight quarters—below the prerecession average of 3.5%." But by intensifying the pace of work and reducing the pay of their employees, corporations have been able to boost their profits despite the slow growth.
The following chart from an Economic Policy Institute study shows the continuing and growing disconnect between productivity and private sector worker compensation (which includes wages and benefits) using two different measures of compensation.
As the Economic Policy Institute study explains, "there has been no sustained growth in average compensation since 2004. The stagnation began even earlier, in 2003, when considering wages alone. Since 2003, wages as measured by both the ECI and the ECEC (not shown) have not grown at all—a lost decade for wages."
The point then is that we need a real jobs program, one that is designed to create new meaningful jobs and boost the well-being of those employed. Government efforts to sustain the existing expansion have certainly been responsive to corporate interests. It should now be obvious that such efforts offer workers very little.
One Reason It Is Tough To Pass Progressive Legislation
Dylan Matthews, blogging in the Washington Post, discusses a very interesting paper that provides evidence showing that politicians seriously underestimate the progressivity of their constituents.
David Broockman and Christopher Skovron, the authors of the paper, "surveyed every candidate for state legislative office in the United States in 2012 [shortly before the November election] and probed candidates' own positions and their perceptions of their constituents' positions on universal health care, same-sex marriage, and federal welfare programs, three of the most publicly salient issues in both national-level and state-level American politics during the past several years." They then matched the results with estimates of the actual district- and issue-specific opinions of those residing in the candidates' districts using a data set of almost 100,000 Americans.
Here is what they found:
Politicians consistently and substantially overestimate support for conservative positions among their constituents on these issues. The differences we discover in this regard are exceptionally large among conservative politicians: across both issues we examine, conservative politicians appear to overestimate support for conservative policy views among their constituents by over 20 percentage points on average. . . . Comparable figures for liberal politicians also show a slight conservative bias: in fact, about 70% of liberal office holders typically underestimate support for liberal positions on these issues among their constituents.
The following two charts illustrate this bias when it comes to universal health care and same sex marriage.
As Matthews explain:
The X axis is the district's actual views, and the Y axis their legislators' estimates of their views. The thin black line is perfect accuracy, the response you'd get from a legislator totally in tune with his constituents. Lines above it would signify the politicians think the district more liberal than it actually is; if they're below it, that means the legislators are overestimating their constituents' conservatism. Liberal legislators consistently overestimate opposition to same-sex marriage and universal health care, but only mildly. Conservative politicians are not even in the right ballpark.
The authors found a similar bias regarding support for welfare programs. Perhaps even more unsettling, the authors found no correlation between the amount of time candidates spent meeting and talking to people in their districts while campaigning for office and the accuracy of their perceptions of the political positions of those living in their districts.
One consequence of this disconnect is that office holders, even those with progressive views, are reluctant to take progressive positions. More generally, these results speak to a real breakdown in "the ability of constituencies to control the laws that their representatives make on their behalf."
Corporations And The General Welfare
There is general agreement that the economy is not growing fast enough to boost employment. The question: What to do about it?
The response, at all levels of government, seems to be: increase corporate subsidies and lower corporate taxes in hopes that corporations will boost investment and, by extension, employment. Those who promote this response no doubt reason that corporations must be struggling along with workers and need additional incentives and support to become successful "job-creators."
The chart below, taken from a Paul Krugman blog post, certainly raises questions about this rationale and response. It shows trends in corporate profits (in red) and business investment (in blue), both measured as shares of GDP.
As you can see, profits have clearly been trending upwards over time, especially during our current recovery. At the same time, business investment, although improving, remains historically quite low. It is hard to see a poor profit performance as the root cause of our slow growth and job creation.
Moreover, banks are sitting on record amounts of money. The chart below, from the St. Louis Federal Reserve, shows that banks are holding approximately $1.5 trillion in excess reserves. In the past, excess reserves averaged roughly $20 billion. In other words, our banks just aren't motivated to make loans. And, instead of taxing these excess reserves to encourage loan activity, the Federal Reserve is actually paying the banks interest on their holdings.
Now, as noted above, it would not be fair to say that governments are not actively trying to create jobs. It is just that they are going about it in the wrong way, the wrong way that is, if their aim is to actually create jobs.
Governments continue to shovel huge subsidies and tax breaks at our major corporations. This, despite the fact that most studies find little evidence that they help promote investment or employment. What they do, of course, is enhance corporate profits. They also force cutbacks in public spending, which does have negative effects on the economy and social welfare. Ironically, these negative effects then cause corporations to shy away from investing.
The New York Times recently ran a good series on state and local tax deals and subsidies written by Louise Story. She wrote:
A Times investigation has examined and tallied thousands of local incentives granted nationwide and has found that states, counties and cities are giving up more than $80 billion each year to companies. The beneficiaries come from virtually every corner of the corporate world, encompassing oil and coal conglomerates, technology and entertainment companies, banks and big-box retail chains.
The cost of the awards is certainly far higher. A full accounting, The Times discovered, is not possible because the incentives are granted by thousands of government agencies and officials, and many do not know the value of all their awards. Nor do they know if the money was worth it because they rarely track how many jobs are created. Even where officials do track incentives, they acknowledge that it is impossible to know whether the jobs would have been created without the aid. . . .
A portrait arises of mayors and governors who are desperate to create jobs, outmatched by multinational corporations and short on tools to fact-check what companies tell them. Many of the officials said they feared that companies would move jobs overseas if they did not get subsidies in the United States.
Over the years, corporations have increasingly exploited that fear, creating a high-stakes bazaar where they pit local officials against one another to get the most lucrative packages. States compete with other states, cities compete with surrounding suburbs, and even small towns have entered the race with the goal of defeating their neighbors.
These subsidies can dominate state budgets. The Times reports that they were equal to approximately one-third the budgets of Oklahoma and West Virginia and almost one-fifth of the budget of Maine.
Here in Oregon, we continue to struggle with budget shortfalls. And, fearful of losing corporate investment, the state legislature is doing what it can to keep corporate costs down. In December 2012, Governor John Kitzhaber called the state legislature into special session to pass a bill specially designed to help Nike.
Nike had privately told the Governor that it planned to spend at least $150 million in an expansion which it claimed would create at least 500 jobs over a five year span. If the state wanted that expansion and those jobs to be in Oregon, it had to reassure the company that its current favorable tax treatment would remain unchanged far into the future.
Although state legislators were not pleased to be presented with a major tax bill with little if any time to study its terms, they passed it. The new bill guarantees Nike that the state of Oregon will not change how it calculates the company's state taxes for the next 30 years, regardless of any future changes in the state's tax policy. More specifically, it gives the Governor power to offer such a deal to any major company that plans to invest at least $150 million and create at least 500 jobs over a five year span. It just so happened that Nike is the only company, at least for the moment, receiving this benefit.
To appreciate what is at stake in this deal a little background on how Oregon taxes multi-state corporations like Nike is helpful. Prior to 1991, Oregon taxed Nike using a formula that considered the state's share of Nike's total property, payroll, and sales, with each weighted equally. In 1991, Oregon double weighted the sales component. This greatly reduced Nike's state tax bill, since while its property and payroll are concentrated in Oregon, only a small share of its sales are made in the state.
Then in 2001, Oregon began introducing a "single-sales factor" formula. As Michael Leachman of the Oregon Center for Public Policy explains:
Under this formula, only in-state sales relative to all US sales matter in determining how much of a company's profits are apportioned to and thus taxable by Oregon; it doesn't matter how much of their property or payroll is based in Oregon. The Legislative Assembly in 2005 cut short the phase-in process and fully phased-in the "single-sales" formula for tax years starting on or after July 1, 2005.
The Oregon Department of Revenue estimates that using the single-sales factor formula instead of the double-weighted sales formula is costing Oregon $77.6 million in the current 2005-07 budget cycle, and will cost another $65.6 million in the upcoming 2007-09 budget cycle. The projected decline in the cost of "single-sales" in the upcoming budget cycle is temporary. It is due primarily to a corporate kicker that will slash corporate tax payments by two-thirds this year. In subsequent budget cycles, the revenue hit from "single-sales" will return to a higher level. . . .
Take Nike, for example. Nike lobbied for the switch to single-sales factor apportionment and it's easy to see why. At the Oregon Center for Public Policy, we conservatively estimate that Nike's 2006 tax cut from "single-sales" was over $16 million. Other prominent, profitable firms such as Intel also received a massive tax break from "single-sales."
As Michael Munk points out:
The governor's deal is also particularly cynical when at a time of declining public services desperate politicians are dragging out a regressive sales tax out of mothballs and The Oregonian's "fact checker finds "mostly true" a finding that Oregon's existing tax breaks (including almost $900B a year in corporate welfare) exceed tax collections.
Of course, this stance towards the needs of Oregonians is nothing new for Nike. In 2010, Oregonians voted in favor of two measures (66 and 67) which temporarily raised taxes on the very wealthy and corporations. Phil Knight, the Nike CEO, not only gave $100,000 to the anti-Measures campaign, he also wrote an article published in the Oregonian newspaper in which he said:
Measures 66 and 67 should be labeled Oregon's Assisted Suicide Law II.
They will allow us to watch a state slowly killing itself.
They are anti-business, anti-success, anti-inspirational, anti-humanitarian, and most ironically, in the long run, they will deprive the state of tax revenue, not increase it.
The current state tax codes are all of those things as well. Measures 66 and 67 just take it up and over the top.
Knight even threatened to leave the state. He didn't, but I guess the last laugh is his, now that his company's tax situation is secure for the next 30 years.
So—what lies ahead—more counterproductive state policies and head scratching about why things are going poorly for working people, or a change in strategy?
Who Is For Change?
Many expected that the severity of the Great Recession, recognition that the prior expansion was largely based on unsustainable bubbles, and an anemic post-crisis recovery, would lead to serious discussion about the need to transform our economy. Yet, it hasn't happened.
One important reason is that not everyone has experienced the Great Recession and its aftermath the same. Jordan Weissmann, writing in the Atlantic, published the following figure from the work of Edward Wolff. As of 2010, median household net worth was back to levels last seen in the early 1960s. In contrast, mean household net worth had only retreated some ten years.
The great disparity between median and mean wealth declines is a reflection of the ability of those at the top of the wealth distribution to maintain most of their past gains. And the lack of discussion about the need for change in our economic system is largely a reflection of the ability of those very same people to influence our political leaders and shape our policy choices.
Scaling The Fiscal Cliff
With the election over, the news is now focused, somewhat hysterically, on the threat of the fiscal cliff.
The fiscal cliff refers to the fact that at the end of this calendar year several temporary tax cuts are scheduled to expire (including those that lowered rates on income and capital gains as well as payroll taxes) and early in the next year spending cuts are scheduled for military and non-military federal programs. See here for details on the taxes and programs.
Most analysts agree that if tax rates rise and federal spending is cut the result will be a significant contraction in aggregate demand, pushing the U.S. economy into recession in 2013.
The U.S. economy is already losing steam. GDP growth in the second half of 2009, which marked the start of the recovery, averaged 2.7% on an annualized basis. GDP growth in 2010 was a lower 2.4%. GDP growth in 2011 averaged a still lower 2.0%. And growth in the first half of this year declined again, to an annualized rate of 1.8%.
With banks unwilling to loan, businesses unwilling to invest or hire, and government spending already on the decline, there can be little doubt that a further fiscal tightening will indeed mean recession.
So, assuming we don't want to go over the fiscal cliff, what are our choices?
Both Republicans and Democrats face this moment in agreement that our national deficits and debt are out of control and must be reduced regardless of the consequences for overall economic activity. What they disagree on is how best to achieve the reduction. Most Republicans argue that we should renew the existing tax cuts and protect the military budget. Deficit reduction should come from slashing the non-military discretionary portion of the budget, which, as Ethan Pollack explains, includes:
safety net programs like housing vouchers and nutrition assistance for women and infants; most of the funding for the enforcement of consumer protection, environmental protection, and financial regulation; and practically all of the federal government's civilian public investments, such as infrastructure, education, training, and research and development.
The table below shows the various programs/budgets that make up the non-security discretionary budget and their relative size. The chart that follows shows how spending on this part of the budget is already under attack by both Democrats and Republicans.
Unfortunately, the Democrat's response to the fiscal cliff is only marginally better than that of the Republicans. President Obama also wants to shrink the deficit and national debt, but in "a more balanced way." He wants both tax increases and spending cuts. He is on record seeking $4 trillion in deficit reduction over a ten year period, with a ratio of $2.50 in spending cuts for every $1 in new revenue.
The additional revenue in his plan will come from allowing tax cuts for the wealthy to expire, raising the tax rate on the top income tax bracket, and limiting the value of tax deductions. While an important improvement, President Obama is also committed to significant cuts in non-military discretionary spending. Although his cuts would not be as great as those advocated by the Republicans, reducing spending on most of the targeted programs makes little social or economic sense given current economic conditions.
So, how do we scale the fiscal cliff in a responsible way?
We need to start with the understanding that we do not face a serious national deficit or debt problem. As Jamie Galbraith notes:
. . . is there a looming crisis of debt or deficits, such that sacrifices in general are necessary? No, there is not. Not in the short run – as almost everyone agrees. But also: not in the long run. What we have are computer projections, based on arbitrary – and in fact capricious – assumptions. But even the computer projections no longer show much of a crisis. CBO has adjusted its interest rate forecast, and even under its "alternative fiscal scenario" the debt/GDP ratio now stabilizes after a few years.
Actually, as the chart below shows, the deficit is already rapidly falling. In fact, the decline in government spending over the last few years is likely one of the reasons why our economic growth is slowing so dramatically.
As Jed Graham points out:
From fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2012, the deficit shrank 3.1 percentage points, from 10.1% to 7.0% of GDP. That's just a bit faster than the 3.0 percentage point deficit improvement from 1995 to '98, but at that point, the economy had everything going for it.
Other occasions when the federal deficit contracted by much more than 1 percentage point a year have coincided with recession. Some examples include 1937, 1960 and 1969.
In short, we do not face a serious problem of growing government deficits. Rather the problem is one of too fast a reduction in the deficit in light of our slowing economy.
As to the challenge of the fiscal cliff—here we have to recognize, as Josh Bivens and Andrew Fieldhouse explain, that:
the budget impact and the economic impact are not necessarily the same. Some policies that are expensive in budgetary terms have only modest economic impacts (for example, the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts aimed at high-income households are costly but do not have much economic impact). Conversely, other policies with small budgetary costs have big economic impacts (for example, extended unemployment insurance benefits).
In other words, we should indeed allow the temporary tax rate deductions for the wealthy to expire, on both income and capital gains taxes. These deductions cost us dearly on the budget side without adding much on the economic side. As shown here and here, the evidence is strong that the only thing produced by lowering taxes on the wealthy is greater income inequality.
Letting existing tax rates rise for individuals making over $200,000 and families making over $250,000 a year, raising the top income tax bracket for both couples and singles that make more than $388,350, and limiting tax deductions will generate close to $1.5 trillion dollars over ten years as highlighted below in a Wall Street Journal graphic .
However, in contrast to President Obama's proposal, we should also support the planned $500 billion in cuts to the military budget. We don't need the new weapons and studies are clear that spending on the military (as well as tax cuts) is a poor way to generate jobs. For example, the table below shows the employment effects of spending $1 billion on the military versus spending the same amount on education, health care, clean energy, or tax cuts.
And, we should also oppose any cuts in our non-security discretionary budget. Instead, we should take at least half the savings from the higher tax revenues and military spending cuts–that would be a minimum of $1 trillion–and spend it on programs designed to boost our physical and social infrastructure. Here I have in mind retrofitting buildings, improving our mass transit systems, increasing our development and use of safe and renewable energy sources like wind and solar, and expanding and strengthening our social services, including education, health care, libraries, and the like.
Our goal should be a strong and accountable public sector, good jobs for all, and healthy communities, not debt reduction. The above policy begins to move us in the right direction.
The Times They May be Changing
One of the biggest obstacles to improving economic conditions has been majority belief that our current economic system is capable of delivering steady improvements in living and working conditions. Because of that belief, it has been easy for economic and political elites to convince large numbers of people that current economic problems must be the result of too much government spending, or immigrants, or unions, or taxes or . . . . In other words anything but capitalism itself.
However, there are now signs that the times may be changing.
A New York Times blog post by Thomas B. Edsall discusses some recent polling data which suggests that growing numbers of Americans, what many analysts are calling the rising American electorate–unmarried women, young people, Hispanics, and African Americans–are open to serious economic change.
For example, Edsall summarizes the results of one poll as follows:
When voters were asked whether cutting taxes or investing in education and infrastructure is the better policy to promote economic growth, the constituencies of the new liberal electorate consistently chose education and infrastructure by margins ranging from 2-1 to 3-2 — African Americans by 62-33, Hispanics by 61-37, never-married men by 56-38, never-married women by 64-30, voters under 30 by 63-34, and those with post-graduate education by 60-33.
Conservative constituencies generally chose lowering taxes by strong margins — whites by 52-42, married men by 59-34, married women by 51-44, all men by 52-41; older voters between the ages of 50 and 65 by 54-42.
The constituencies that make up the rising American electorate are firmly in favor of government action to reduce the gap between rich and poor, by 85-15 among blacks, 74-26 for Hispanics; 70-30 never-married men; 83-15 never-married women; and 76-24 among voters under 30. Conservative groups range from lukewarm to opposed: 53-47 for men; 53-47 among voters 50-65; 46-54 among married men; 52-47 among all whites.
One of the clearest divides between the rising American electorate and the rest of the country is in responses to the statement "Government is providing too many social services that should be left to religious groups and private charities. Black disagree 67-32; Hispanics disagree 57-40; never-married women 70-27; never-married men, 59-41; young voters, 66-34; and post-grad, 65-34. Conversely, whites agree with the statement 54-45; married men agree, 60-39; married women, 55-44; all men, 55-43.
Edsall also cites a 2011 Pew Research Center Poll that is even more suggestive of support for fundamental change. Although it is impossible to know what people mean by the terms capitalism and socialism, the table below, taken from the poll, suggests that opposition to capitalism is at significant levels among many of the groups that comprise the rising American electorate.
Polling data is not the same as political action of course. But the negative views of capitalism and surprisingly strong support for socialism among many in the population must be worrisome to those who continue to benefit from existing economic relations.
One can only imagine that far more people will come to hold these views if government leaders succeed in using the artificially created "fiscal cliff" to further cut key social programs. People want action on jobs, not cuts in government spending, regardless of whether those cuts are accompanied by tax increases on the wealthy.
Economics And Values
Mainstream economics is largely built on theories that assume that people are best understood as highly competitive and individualistic maximizing agents. In fact, capitalism is said to be the most desirable economic system ever constructed precisely because its laws of motion are in sync with these traits. Capitalism's desirability is easily called into question, however, if people highly value fairness, cooperation, and relations of solidarity. After all, capitalist imperatives tend to work against the development of social conditions and institutions that promote these values.
Many supporters of capitalism draw upon studies of non-human animal behavior to defend their assumptions about human nature. But, as the Ted Talk by Frans de Waal found here (and below) demonstrates, non-human animals also greatly value fairness, cooperation, and relations of solidarity.
After watching the video take a few moments to imagine an economic system that builds upon these attractive values, then compare the policies that would be helpful to create it with the policies we currently promote to strengthen our existing economic system. For example, how would this foundational shift influence our thinking about how best to organize production, relate production decisions to social and community needs, structure the ownership of society's productive assets, and so on.

Photo Credit: ABC
Of course, I watched the show anyway! And I'm here to say: They delivered -- to an extent. Although we got no more dish on what really happened between Rozlyn Papa and the mysterious ABC producer who lost his job over her, I give creator and exec producer Mike Fleiss credit for confirming some long-suspected, behind-the-scenes details.
1. Why Jake picked Vienna Girardi: 20/20 cohost Chris Connelly explained, "Tenley just didn't seem to be able to unfasten Jake's seatbelt quite like Vienna…Proof to some of a time-honored Bachelor love lesson: 'Lust conquers all.'"
2. There are two private, camera-free rooms in the mansion. Former season 4 contestant (and ABC special correspondent) Melissa Rycroft showed viewers one, the master bathroom, where she said "we would get ready together for dates and rose ceremonies," and revealed, "We were our own chefs, our own housekeepers, and our own makeup artists." Touring the bedrooms, we saw a shockingly small closet five women share. For two months, contestants are in "total isolation from the outside world. No laptops, no ipods, no tvs, no phones."
3. Host Chris Harrison used to think his scripted lines were stupid. "For a while I fought it," he said. "Everyone knows there's one rose. This is stupid. I don't want to say, 'This is your final rose tonight.' But now I embrace it."
4. Season 1 Bachelorette Trista and Ryan Sutter's wedding cost nearly $4 million, and the couple pocketed a cool million on top. Six years later, they live a private life in Colorado, where he's a firefighter, and she's a stay-at-home mom to 2-year-old Max and 8-month-old Blakesley.
5. Good TV trumps all. After a season 1 clip, when a contestant's panic attack required an ambulance, Fleiss said, "We weren't sure going into the series whether or not the women would really care, whether they would really compete for the love of one guy.... And once we started seeing girls hyperventilating and what not, we knew it was working." And on his seemingly heartless decision to let Rycroft get dumped on national TV, he said, "
6. But at least Fleiss admitted -- finally someone admitted! -- the contestants aren't all there to find romance.
7. Another revealing exchange came when Connelly asked, "Why do so few women just walk away?" He put this excellent query to a relationship therapist. "It's the group dynamic," replied the therapist. "People are all geared around 'how can I stay,' and 'how can I win?' So it seems very counterintuitive to think, 'How can I get out of here?'"
The most intriguing answer to that question came from Rycroft. "This is gonna sound terrible, but I wasn't attracted to Jason [Mesnick]," she said. "If I were to meet him on the street and be single, I don't think that we would ever date. But put in the circumstances that we were, I thought he was the greatest thing to drop from heaven.'"
8. The producers have changed their ideas about the key to the show. "The initial thought [was] that we had to have real love and a marriage," Fleiss said. "Now we know that's not necessarily true. It's really based on whether or not [the viewers] like the guy and hate the girls…
9. Ever wondered whether contestants are drinking heavily? "Champagne, tequila, beer, red wine, white wine," said Fleiss. "I don't think it plays any more of a role than it does in dating situations just in general." Estella Gardinier of season 4 joked about an average day: "Wake up. Go to the margarita machine. Take a nap. Go to the margarita machine. Say hi to the girls. Go to the margarita machine."
10. And the question we've all been dying to ask: Do the Bachelors have sex with the women?
"I heard they called me the Kissing Bandit," Guiney said. "Ultimately it was like you know just trying to figure out if you had a romantic connection." Uh-huh, sure, Bob.

Our head wants to look at increasing everyone's disk space, I think a SAN would be the best option but she's asked me to look at other on-site solutions (cheaper if there is such a thing?)
We are an RM CC4 school, which may or may not make a difference... If it was up to me I'd just throw a SAN in - but it's not!.
ideas? :confused:

Mammography Campaign Fends Off the Competition
OSF Holy Family Medical Center is constantly fighting for market share in the Monmouth, IL area. The 23-bed hospital has three much larger competitors within a 30-mile radius and its technology often lags behind. But the hospital held its ground this fall with a highly successful mammography direct mail campaign.

This is an amazing app I'm only 14 and I saw this game first at my moms meeting so I recomend this app! :)
(53 stars)
It brings back memories from the past. I played this game many years ago at a restaurant in Georgia. I loved it then and I love it now. Thanks. Great app.
(53 stars)
Don't know what to do on it
(53 stars)
Would not let me move! I couldn't get the peg to move! Horrible. UNINSTALLED!
(53 stars)
The pegs didn't move. They just lit up green
(53 stars)
Very poor

Just like the dollar store original, only free! Best part is how authentic it is...because I can't beat this one either!

I'm a mommy to 3 kids, I breastfed for a combined period of 5 years. My husband and I decided we don't want any more kids so I'm starting to work on myself.

Being born and raised in Miami, Ive been hearing about Dr Roudner for years. Finally, When my fiancé and I decided it was time, we scheduled a consult with Dr. Roudber right away. During the consult he was extremely through of our options and his suggestions. The friendly staff was also very helpful with any questions or concerns. I scheduled my date right then and there. Coming in for... more
"Most Beautiful Breast... Seriously!..."
Caring doctor. You can tell he is truly passionate about what he does. Answered all my questions in a very professional and kind demeanor. I appreciated his honestly with all the questions I asked prior to surgery and after. Set realistic results and totally exceeded my expectations. Patient coordinator Amanda made me feel welcomed and remembered my name every time I passed by her office... more
"Mom of Two in Need of Breast..."
I have been dissatisfied with my breasts for as long as I can remember, but after breastfeeding my second child, I was motivated to do something about it. Apart from loosing the original size, the left breast drooped significantly lower than the right. Nothing fit like before and I felt very self conscious. I live in the Caribbean and started the process of seriously looking into surgery six... more
"Breast Implants Saline 360cc 24 Yo -..."
I had my breast implants done with Dr. Ortega in July and now that my breast have finally healed and dropped, I have to say that he did an amazing job. The staff treated me very well and Dr. Ortega was very down to earth and took his time to explain everything to me which made me feel very comfortable. There was a point where I had a little scare in the healing process and I was out of town... more
First I wanna say hi and thanks to everyone on this site because I'm a new member, but I've been visiting this site for the past year. I'm 28 with 4 kids age 10,5,4,and 8 months. I've been insecure with my breast since I was little.I've always felt they were always too little. Then when I had kids,they just drooped n looked like 80 year old titties. I've been researching for 4 years now,but... more
"Got my New Boobs!!! 421 cc silicone..."
Well i did it! I researched for a long time and am traveling to Miami to have Dr Hochstein do my breast augmentation. I'm so excited! I had a phone consultation and am paid and ready for next week!

"22 Year Old, 5'7, 138lbs, Currently..."
So far I went to my first consultation. Doctor said I could do 575cc silicone for my height and weight. I'm having trouble deciding how many cc's I should get because i want them to be big but I don't want them to look like i'm al boobs only. Also I don't know what profile I should get. My friend has 600cc and hers don't look that big when she doesn't wear a bra. Her boobs look very natural to... more
Iam 29 years old with a 1 1/2 year old daughter. I gained almost 100lbs during pregnancy. I worked out hard and Iam back to my old self except for the boobs. They are empty inside and saggy :( Iam 120lbs n 5'1. So i decided with my husbands support to get a BA. I had consultations with multiple doctors and did hrs of online research. I was looking for a good dr but also looking at the $ matter... more
"5'3 1/2" tall and weighs 100lbs w/..."
I'm getting excited surgery date is next week Sept 18, 2014. Went in for my BA consultation in Aventura, FL. (a 4 1/2 hours drive from me) on Sept. 5th appointment was at 12:30, but he wasn't in his Aventura office (he was doing a surgery) so I went to his surgical facility. While I was in the Aventura office I met Nancy my patient coordinator (nice lady, well everyone were nice) filled out... more
"32 Year Old Mom Needs the Twins..."
I had been wanting BA for over 10 years. The opportunity presented itself while I was on vacation (yep, I got a boob job over my vacation, even though I didn't plan my trip that way). I do want to say that the way I went about actually GETTING my BA done was not conventional, and maybe I didn't go about it the best way. However, I am STILL HAPPY that I went through with it. Google was my... more
I am very into fitness and once I started training one of the first things to go was my boobs(the little that I had). I love being strong and looking strong, but I also like looking feminine. I wanted bigger boobs because I felt as though it would be more proportional to my body. Going into the surgery I was very nervous, I never had surgery before, but the nurses really helped calm my nerves.... more
"36 Years Young, No children 5' 11"..."
I, like so many other small chested women, have decided to have BA and I'm super excited. I have been researching online like crazy and just imagining myself on the beach in a bikini... even more excited. I have been clothes shopping online for my holiday in the island during the Christmas holiday and I can hardly contain myself. I will finally be able to wear a halter back tops and bustiers... more

"23 year old mom of 2, Getting my..."
So I decided to start a review since my surgery is right around the corner! I've been browsing around this site and I have found other reviews to be SO helpful, and I thought it was only fair to share my experience with you all =) I breastfed for over a year, and when my boobs were FULL I could be a DD (previous a small A). After I stopped breastfeeding my boobies slowly dwindled down to... more
"Amazing Doctor and Staff! and of..."
Back in 2012 I had my breast done with doctor Soler-Baillo. Since then I've had already 4 friends that have had their breast procedure done with him and they are all happy with their results. Being 17 at the time I was super nervous and no other doctor and staff made me feel more calm and comfortable then he did. (Of course I did have a parent with me and her consent to get the procedure done)... more
