An introduction to unemployment in Argentina.
Aside from street vending and scavenging for recyclables, another major form of unregistered work is "changa": odd jobs like washing dishes, helping on construction sites or cleaning houses. This is the kind of unsteady employment that predominates in Buenos Aires' slums.
Eking out a living in a slum whose streets leak raw sewage, Yannet Apudaca and her husband earn all of their 200 pesos per month — about $55 — from changas. She guesses that four out of five residents in her neighborhood are also so-called "changuitos." The pay is poor — they might make less than $10 for a 14-hour workday — and the work isn't secure.
"Sometimes you go once a month, sometimes once a week," she says.
And that frequency has fallen. Her only steady employer, a restaurant, hasn't paid her in months. And the construction industry, where her husband found most of his work, was one of the first to grind to a halt when the economy slowed.
Things aren't going to pick up for them soon. The government announced last month that in January the national economy grew only 2.3 percent over a year prior, the worst published growth rate for any month in six years. Most private economists believe the rate is even lower.
Economists at the Foundation for Latin American Economic Investigations (FIEL) say that the sudden drop in GDP growth, together with the observed rise in real salaries in many sectors, is consistent with the initial reduction of unemployment seen in the official numbers. But unfortunately, according to the FIEL's assessment, it also heralds the onset of a deep recession, and rising unemployment to come.
In a country with a history of unemployment, it's not surprising that jobless residents have, over the years, developed ways to make their grievances known. In good Argentine form, Miguel Quintana — who was laid off from his job at a mattress factory last November — and perhaps a thousand other unemployed workers took to the main avenues of Buenos Aires in recent weeks, waving signs and chanting slogans demanding jobs and money.
This sort of protest has its roots in the crescendo of joblessness that took place in the late 1990s, when unemployed workers gave birth to Argentina's particular form of the "piquete," a phenomenon that took its name from the American picket line.
Instead of the usual labor unions that bargain with particular employers, these are generalized organizations of unemployed persons that block public roadways and occupy buildings. The piquetes climaxed after Argentina's last economic crisis, and today the term "piqueteros" is synonymous with these unions of the unemployed.
The government itself is clearly concerned about the employment situation, despite its assurances. Several months ago, the chairman of the ruling Peronist party and first gentleman Nestor Kirchner (his wife is Argentina's president) directed companies to "not touch a
single job."
Now the government is directing more than $16 million to bolster the salaries of some 38,000 workers. In return, the 648 beneficiary companies — which the government said deserved subsidies because of a decline in sales — have agreed not to lay off workers or cut salaries.

This soup is so simple, with the main ingredient being only carrots, and no potatoes or cream to thicken it. I'm sure there are many directions in which the flavors could travel, but I prefer to make it with a predominantly Indian taste. Feel free to adjust the spicy-level as necessary. I like it with a moderate to intense heat, but you can add more or less cayenne and crushed red pepper to suit your own taste. The final product should be smooth and evenly blended, so you will need some kind of food processing device to get it right.

Sunday, February 19
Target Center
Attendance: 18,759
Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Kevin Love made two free throws with one- tenth of a second remaining in regulation, giving the Minnesota Timberwolves a 92-91 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.
Thaddeus Young put the Sixers on top, 91-90, on an 18-foot jumper with 40.4 seconds left. Love and Lou Williams exchanged misses, with Love grabbing the rebound of Williams' miss and calling timeout with 3.6 seconds to go.
Love caught the inbounds pass at the top of the left wing and drove to the lane. Andre Iguodala came off his man along the baseline and tried to tie up the fellow All-Star on the left block. Love went up for a shot and was blocked by Elton Brand, but the whistle blew on Iguodala's reach-in.
The ensuing free throws all but sealed Minnesota's third straight win and Philadelphia's third consecutive loss. The Timberwolves outscored the Sixers at the free throw line, 23-8.
"We haven't been able to get that critical stop," said Sixers head coach Doug Collins, who did not comment on the final foul call.
Love finished with 20 points on 7-of-23 shooting to go with 15 rebounds, while Ricky Rubio logged 22 points in the victory.
Jrue Holiday led the Sixers with 20 points, while Iguodala and Williams scored 13 each in defeat.
There were 15 lead changes -- all in the second half and 11 in the final quarter. Love did not make a field goal in the second or third frames, but posted 12 points over the final 12 minutes, including a jumper in the final minute that gave the T'Wolves a 90-89 lead prior to Young's mid-range make.
"I only played one good quarter," Love admitted. "(But) we were the more physical team tonight. We played well."
Philadelphia never trailed in the first half and led by as many as 11 in the opening quarter. Holiday threw down a left-handed slam for an 18-7 lead midway through before Rubio and Love helped cut the deficit to 24-22 by the end of the stanza.
The visitors led 49-44 at halftime and 74-72 entering the fourth.

Rumors of Doom for ISBN Numbers
Posted: April 1, 2013 Filed under: Books, Education, Opinion, Publications & Current Papers | Tags: bookstores, economist, google books, isbn, ORCID, porter anderso, Publishing, publishing perspectives, self-fpublishing, SIN DOI, UPC Comments OffSince its invention in 1965, booksellers have depended on the ISBN system used internationally to facilitate the distribution of books and to track sales. However, the digital revolution is changing even this long-standing publishing tradition. eBooks do not need, and mostly do not have, ISBN numbers (the cost of acquiring an ISBN ranges from $25 to $250). In a world that has become increasingly less analog, the perceived need to have a universal system is rapidly diminishing. Instead of one global identification system, there are now many. According to The Economist,
"Amazon has introduced the Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN). Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) tag articles in academic journals. Walmart… has a Universal Product Code (UPC) for everything it stocks—including books. Humans are also getting labels: the Open Researcher and Contributor ID system (ORCID) identifies academics by codes, not their names. And ISBNs are not mandatory at Google Books."
This breaking up of the system has resulted in less-than-reliable numbers when it comes to tracking the growth of self-publishing. "Self-published writers are booming; sales of their books increased by a third in America in 2011," the article continues. "Digital self-publishing was up by 129%. This ends the distinction between publisher, distributor and bookshop, making ISBNs less necessary."
However, as Porter Anderson points out in Publishing Perspectives, that number estimating eBook growth at 129% is simply a guess. No actually knows the true number due to the anonymity that foregoing ISBNs affords. Anderson also points out that "boom" in self-publishing does not always equate in success for authors. There's more writing out there, yes, but just how fruitful is self-publishing for writers? Without hard data, it is impossible to say for sure.
Should we be concerned about this or not? I think the question Anderson poses is a good one: "[I]s there something inherently wrong — or somehow too determinedly journalistic — in wanting to be able to quantify, categorize, and track the progress of the industry through the "tagging" of its output?"
What do you think? Is time to end ISBNs?
R.I.P. Encylopedia Brittanica: 1768-2012
Posted: March 19, 2012 Filed under: Articles, Edited Volumes, Education, Encyclopedia Entries, Publications & Current Papers, Research, Teachers & Teaching Comments OffMy grandparents had them. They lined the den in their modest Indiana home. In the garage, outdated sets were stacked neatly in boxes. Every year, salesmen came to the doors of homes and schools peddling their wares. But all that is over. Encyclopedia Brittanica has announced that they will no longer offer their product in print.
It's rather a sad passage for some of us older folk. There aren't many businesses that can claim they were viable for over two hundred years. In 1768, Encyclopedia Brittanica published its first set of volumes in Edinburgh, Scotland and has been in continuous publication until this year.
It's not difficult to understand what finally put the venerable company under. Two words: Wikipedia and Google. Publicly, the company claims that their online competition was not a deciding factor in killing their printed volumes but that seems difficult to believe. Not only is it much easier to access needed information quickly, it's difficult to compete with "free." A complete set of Encyclopedia Brittanicas runs some $1,395.
Space, too, is a consideration. A full set consists of thirty-two volumes and weights upwards of 129 pounds. A good flashdrive, by contrast, could conceivably contain every entry in Wikipedia (26,603,553 pages) and fit comfortably in your pocket, with room to spare.
While some champions of the old school encyclopedias decry Wikipedia for having factual errors, a study comparing errors in a sampling of Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Brittanica articles found that there were three errors in Brittanica entries and four in Wikipedia selections. And of course, factual errors are much easier to correct online than in print.
Encyclopedia Brittanica prides itself on having experts write their entries. For example, Arnold Palmer penned the article about the Master's tournament. If you truly care about this sort of thing, you can still have access to Encyclopedia Brittanica online. But it will cost you $70 for an annual subscription.
Don't Mess With the New Oxford American Dictionary
Posted: August 9, 2011 Filed under: Other Publications, Research Comments OffIn the cut-throat world of lexicography…
Wait… what?
When you think of industries laying traps for potential predatory and purloining practices, it's unlikely you would assume the people who compile dictionaries are on the lookout for thieves.
But they are.
Just like any form of plagiarism, taking an idea that is not your own and presenting it as original is unethical, explains Editor-in-Chief Erin McKean. So the New American Oxford Dictionary, and others, sometimes set traps for those who do not bother to do their own legwork.
Way back in 2001, the NOAD included the made-up word esquivalence, and defined it as ""the willful avoidance of one's official responsibilities; the shirking of duties." The editors did everything they could to make the "word" legit, including using it in a sentence: "After three subordinates attested to his esquivalience, Lieutenant Claiborne was dismissed." And tracing its etymology to the " late 19th Century, "perhaps from French esquiver, 'dodge, slink away.'"
The word is especially sweet to Christine Lindberg, the editor who invented the word. She explains: "I wanted the word to suggest character weaknesses, and words like 'quivering' and `vacillating' went through my mind and became the glob of brain putty that eventually got fashioned into 'esquivalience.'"
NOAD didn't have to leave their fishing line in the water long. The bait of "esquivalence" was soon gobbled up by Dictionary.com, who credited Webster's New Millennium Dictionary of English (electronic edition). Dictionary.com removed the word, but even ten years later, Google still turns up three separate sources offering definitions.
So now the question is, when does a not-word become a real word? Lindberg says she uses it frequently and has an affection for her invention: "I especially like the critical, judgmental tone I can get out of it. Sounds literate and nasty all in one breath. I like that."
What happens to those who get caught? Not much. Sometimes fines for copyright infringement, but embarrassment is the primary punishment for those esquivalient little weasels.
Amazon Gets All Publish-y and Stuff
Posted: May 9, 2011 Filed under: Publications & Current Papers Comments OffIn its continual attempts to become the Wal-Mart of the literary world (there's an oxymoron if I ever heard one), Amazon, the strapping, young Fabio, has gone on a Quest for Fair Maidens: the trembling, nubile, romance writer.
This week, Amazon announced that it will be launching its own line of romance novels, called "Montlake Publishing." Sounds vaguely knight-y and seductive, no? The books will be available in all forms of media: on Amazon's Kindle, traditional print, and audio. The line is scheduled to debut in the Fall.
Why would Amazon want to bother with getting into the direct publishing end of the business? Well, for several reasons. First, they are in a great position to sell to their customers. They can advertise on the site, of course, but they also have access to their customers' buying habits and can recommend selections to them.
Why a romance line? That was probably a no-brainer. Romance novels are voraciously consumed by readers. Romance Writers of America reports that sales for 2009 topped 1.37 billion dollars.
In addition to romance novels, Montlake will also eventually offer science fiction, thrillers, and mysteries. While the initial titles will likely be from relatively unknown authors, it seems plausible that bigger names will want to get in on Amazon's mass audience.
Rolling in the Big Bucks! (Just Kidding) A Snapshot of Academic Salaries
Posted: April 11, 2011 Filed under: Articles, College Students, Education, Opinion, Publications & Current Papers, Teachers & Teaching Comments OffOver the past several months, there has been much talk about how teachers make a heck of a lot of money. I read and listened to several of these reports as I waited for the water to boil for my ramen noodles.
This week, the Chronicle of Higher Education released data showing the average salaries of professors from hundreds of academic institutions across the nation—from tenured profs at private institutions that grant doctoral degrees, to adjuncts who teach at community colleges.
Not surprisingly, private universities like Harvard, Columbia, and Princeton offered the highest paying positions, averaging a nice $190k or so per year. Professors at the top levels of public universities earn about a third less than their private counterparts.
Of course, these positions are few and far between. Most professors work in lower tiered schools. The average for these colleges ranges from about $87k for a tenured professor to around $40k for a professor of "no rank" (adjuncts).
While the highest paying schools certainly provide a nice living for their professors, even they fall far below what those individuals might be earning in the non-academic world. In fact, that is probably true of an academic on any rung of the teaching ladder.
Where does your school fall in the salary range? Read the full report here. If you are considering teaching, does this information change your mind at all? While it's true that no one goes into teaching for the money, the reality is quite eye-opening, to say the least.

Winnsboro, S.C. | September 16th, 2013 |
Tonight at the regular monthly meeting of the Fairfield County Republican Party, members passed a 29-point resolution in favor of censuring South Carolina's U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham. The yeas carried the evening with 82% of the vote. This reflects the continued frustration of many in the party with officials who are elected as Republicans and then seem to forget the platform of the party when they assume office.
"The Fairfield County Republican Party believes in traditional conservative Republican principles and we expect those who are elected as Republicans to vote like Republicans, not Democrats, and on these 29 issues Senator Graham voted with the Democrats" proclaimed Fairfield County Republican Chairman Kevin S. Thomas.
"We find his views and votes on these 29 issues to be unacceptable and as the Republican Primary approaches we are looking for a more conservative candidate to represent us in the United State Senate, someone who votes more like former Senator Jim DeMint than current Senator Lindsey Graham".
Nearly every member of the Fairfield County GOP was in attendance and voted on this Censure Resolution. The members of the FCGOP hope that by taking this action, Senator Graham will realize those who are elected as Republicans can and will be held accountable for their actions. We know that a significant number of members of the South Carolina Republican Party across the state feel the same way, and we expect to see more actions, like we have taken, to continue at future county meetings.

Our strategy is to establish Jacmel, Haiti as a surf tourism destination. The surf industry generates billions of dollars in sales yearly and many developing nations have capitalized on development of a "surf culture" that provides jobs and a passion for environmental protection. The founders and volunteers of SurfHaiti.org have a passion for surfing, the ocean, the environment and seek to share our passion for the benefit of those less fortunate.
We are honored to be featured in Magic Haiti Magazine.
Magic Haiti in their own words:
Magic Haiti's objective is to be a useful and entertaining publication for short and long term visitors alike. It will not be a touristic brochure to attract visitors to Haiti but rather one that assumes that its readers will have already overcome the numerous obstacles to travel to Haiti. So, our readers will already be in Haiti whatever their reasons to travel.
The goal of SurfHaiti is to create long-term economic opportunity through the establishment of Haiti as a sustainable surf tourism destination. Haiti has warm water, beautiful beaches, and plentiful uncrowded waves — all just a short flight from the USA. Haiti is well positioned to capitalize on the $7 billion per year American surf industry.

TOKYO (AP) — An online video released Saturday night purported to show an Islamic State group militant beheading Japanese journalist Kenji Goto, ending days of negotiations to save the man and heightening fears for the life a Jordanian fighter pilot also held hostage.
Troy Bradley and Leonid Tiukhtyaev made a controlled descent four miles off the coast of Baja California near La Poza Grande after a change in winds made a landing at sea a "more prudent" option than landing onshore. "Mexican authorities are cooperating fully and the Coast Guard is enroute to the balloon. We anticipate they will tow the capsule to shore," a statement from the Two Eagles team said. "A water landing is acceptable under the international rules governing the establishment of world records," the statement said, noting that two recognized around-the-world records also ended at sea.

But it is rude to tell someone not to do a cake.
I know am I one that posted that I would not do a 'gross' cake. I NEVER told someone else not to, and please know that I wouldn't.
Honestly, I briefly scanned through the original poster's post, then responded more to replies to it than to the op. I've seen that done MANY times before and even seen some threads get totally off track as a result - but with no ill effects. For whatever reason, that has not been the case here. In my post, I might have referred to something as gross, but never to someone as rude, nor would I.
I apologize to the original poster and to anyone I have offended for what I thought was an honest response to the the comments I read after she posted. I never intended to be "negative" towards anyone. In fact, I think I stated that my opinion was just that, mine. I was only expressing it, and thought it would be ok to do so. I guess I will think more carefully about that in the future.

A community staple since 1955, Glencoe Country Club weaves through trees and waterways to form an 18-hole, par 71 layout. Rated as the hardest hole on the course, the fourth hole puts golfers at the mercy of all of the course's obstacles at once: trees and sandtraps straddle the landing zone for tee shots, and two ponds?one behind, one on the left side of the hole?protect the green from invading drives and vikings that can't swim. Before rounds, golfers can prepare at the driving range or by grabbing some new gear at the pro shop.
Course at a Glance:
Shadowbrooke Golf Course weaves through the Minnesota countryside to form a scenic par 71 layout envisioned by architect Joel Goldstrand, whose designs are sculpted throughout the state. The course eases golfers into the round on the older and more forgiving front nine, letting swings find their stride before a more treacherous second act that winds through tunnels of mature trees. Shadowbrooke's pro shop keeps hot dogs, candy, and drinks on hand for hungry golfers, as well as gloves, apparel, and balls for those who fear they may not be able to keep every shot in play or prevent their orbs from being smuggled away by a local juggler.
Shadowbrooke Golf Course's rates fluctuate during the day and throughout the week.
If rain suddenly interrupts a round at Timber Creek Golf Course, players can take shelter at an unusual spot: the creek. A pair of wooden covered bridges straddle the creek at different crossing points, adding rustic charm to an 18-hole, championship-length course that wends through mature trees and hilly terrain. The layout also encompasses another novel feature: a double green that lets players intimidate the group on the other side of the green with their putting or choreographed dance skills.
Zap Zone's eight locations in Michigan and two locations in Canada each feature a unique combination of attractions—anything from bumper cars to the Jump Zone's cushioned obstacle course. In the laser-tag arena, both kids and adults demonstrate their teamwork skills by outscoring opponents in fast-paced games that take place inside black-lit mazes of neon-tinged hallways. Arcades also round out every location's attractions, tempting passersby to drop a few tokens on racing games and skee-ball, or a lot of tokens on the claw game filled with Fabergé eggs.
With its clubhouse occupying a renovated ivory barn originally built in the 1930s, CreeksBend Golf Course transports golfers back to a bygone era before embarking on a trip across a prairieland course replete with bucolic flourishes. As bluegrass fairways bob and weave across more than 80 acres of ponds and wetlands, quaint footbridges make the course navigable for clubbers and caddies yet to develop gills. Water comes into play on nine holes across the 6,293-yard, par 71 course, including on the signature seventh hole, a 161-yard par 3 where tee shots must clear a creek and avoid hydraulic hazards left of and behind the green. Before rounds, golfers can roll orbs across the 10,000-square-foot practice green to prepare for the course's speedy bentgrass putting surfaces, or share a tender bonding moment with their 3-wood at the grass tee driving range. After rounds, players enjoy retiring to the clubhouse restaurant to refuel with refreshments and casual grill fare.
Course at a Glance:
18-hole, par 71 course
Length of 6,293 yards from the farthest tees
Course rating of 70.6 from the farthest tees
Slope rating of 131 from the farthest tees
Four tee options
With a front nine that dates back to 1910 and a second nine first designed in 1956, Faribault Golf Club has established a historical legacy that includes hosting the Minnesota State Open and Minnesota PGA Pro-Am. The fairway chain stretches across 6,447 yards of gently undulating terrain, where fairway-side timbers, glassy ponds, and hypnotic tee boxes supply the bulk of the course's difficulty. Water hazards come into play on five holes, including the par 3 eighth, where players must send tee shots somersaulting over a pond stationed directly between the green and the divot-pocked launch pad. The par 5 18th offers a grandiose finish to the round, where a sound approach shot can set up a birdie putt that, if made, grants golfers the right to carve the club's decorative hedges into their favorite acronym. After their round, guests can retire to the Top View Grill, a full-service bar and restaurant with a fireplace, outdoor seating, and splendid views of the 9th and 18th holes.

If you're the type to curl up in a dark corner while spilling your half empty glass of water, then there's a reason to be concerned about the Jason Peters contract. A four-year extension at $41.5 million ($51.3 million including the existing year) is heavy both in dollars and length for a tackle who's 32 years old, and is only about two years removed from an Achilles tear.
But if you're the sort to enjoy the brighter and peachier things in life, there's much more to like.
The finances are a little concerning, especially considering that age worry, but they're not terrible. Please remember that even with his increasing age, retaining a six-time Pro Bowler and two-time first team All Pro is never a cheap endeavor at the left tackle position. For an idea of the going rate at that spot in the current market, we can look to what the St. Louis Rams gave Jake Long a year ago during free agency. Long also received a four-year deal, but at a rate of $34 million with $16 million guaranteed, and that's on the low end of left tackle pay days due to injury concerns.
Sure, Peters has those same concerns to same extent as well, but he became far more valuable in 2012 and worth the extra change when the Eagles' offensive line absolutely crumbled during his absence, allowing 48 sacks and a league worst 118 quarterback hits, which broke Michael Vick (again). Left tackles are usually given a small mountain of paper with monetary value to prevent that ending, and at a per year rate the total value of Peters' new contract falls in line with the top tier at his position, which is where he belongs. Peters will make $10.3 million annually, which is behind the yearly salaries given to Joe Thomas ($11.5 million) and Ryan Clady ($10.5 million), and only marginally ahead of those given to D'Brickashaw Ferguson ($10 million), and Trent Williams ($10 million).
What matters most for Peters given his age is the guaranteed money, and at $19.55 million that's several stratospheres behind Thomas ($44 million) and Clady ($33 million). Upon further review then, the finances are somewhere between fine and completely tolerable in the current market, with the manageable guarantee protecting the Eagles against an injury or body breakdown of some kind.
And the product purchased is of the highest quality. Including last spring's first-round pick Lane Johnson, the Eagles now have four members of their offensive line under contract beyond 2015, and in Peters they extended a left tackle who gave up only four sacks and three quarterback hits over 1,040 snaps this past season according to Pro Football Focus. Even better, Eagles running plays went for an average of 6.12 yards when they were called to go behind Peters, showing he's a vital piece for the passing game while keeping young Nick Foles upright, and on the ground while opening lanes for LeSean McCoy in Chip Kelly's run-heavy offense.

(See EXT4 <GO> for more on the euro-area financial crisis and GMEET <GO> for more on the G-20 meeting.)
Oct. 15 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, attending a meeting of finance ministers and central bankers from the Group of 20 nations, welcomed European efforts to tackle the region's fiscal crisis.
"The elements of this plan include a much more substantial financial firewall to ensure that the governments of Europe can borrow at sustainable interest rates," Geithner said at a briefing after the G-20 meeting in Paris today. It also includes "a broad recapitalization of banks, further support for a sustainable program in Greece and steps toward fiscal union."
European leaders are seeking to stop the fiscal crisis from spreading to larger nations as investors grow increasingly concerned about a Greek default. Slovakia last week became the last euro nation to agree on boosting the firepower of the region's 440 billion-euro ($610 billion) rescue fund ahead of an Oct. 23 summit in Brussels.
The European Financial Stability Facility, or EFSF, has gained the authority to buy sovereign bonds on the secondary and primary markets, offer credit lines to governments and grant aid to banks as the region's debt troubles have spread. Its role so far has been to sell bonds to finance rescue loans.
Geithner said the plan would complement "more aggressive action" taken by the European Central Bank while the bailout of Dexia SA helped "limit the potential collateral damage that could have accompanied" the collapse of a bank.
'More Work'
European leaders "clearly have more work to do on the strategy and the details, but when France and Germany agree on a plan together and decide to act, big things are possible," Geithner said. The G-20 meeting was also attended by ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet.
The G-20 policy makers are preparing for a Nov. 3-4 summit of global leaders in Cannes, France. In the works is a five- point plan foreseeing a solution for Greece, bolstering of the EFSF rescue fund, fresh capital for banks, a new push to boost competitiveness and consideration of European treaty amendments to tighten economic management.
Geithner didn't call for expanding funding for the International Monetary Fund. In the statement, the G-20 ministers said they are "committed that the IMF must have the adequate resources to fulfill its systemic responsibilities."
"The IMF has a substantial arsenal of financial resources, and we would support further use of those existing resources to supplement a comprehensive, well-designed European strategy alongside a more substantial commitment of European resources," he said.

i feel that your horrendously slow start can be quickly countered by early game ganking of your team by a heavy carry group with a few support/heals. the enemy team does not really need tanks, they can use mages that specialize in well timed stuns/snares and burst damage (like veigar, ryze, or annie), heavy carries such as yi or ashe or TF, and one support that sets up ganks and protects/heals (morgana, kayle, etc). this team could easily gain a rediculous early game advantage through extreme ganking and jungle domination, inhibiting your levelling, pushing, creep killing, and jungling. of course, your team is devastating mid-late game. A properly played counterteam will make sure the game is decided in the early game. if you are playing competitively, expect your opponent to respond with something like this.
Only played one game against a team like this, they had Kayle, Taric, Soraka, Alistar, and while I can't remember what their 5th hero was it doesnt matter since it wasn't a healer.The soraka and alistar both had promote/rally. While they pushed down all of our outer towers quite fast they barely even scratched our mid base tower. After taking them all down in one team fight we crushed their mid inhibitor and it was over. No more promotes = teams like this will ussually fail IMO. Though I admit we had Sivir on our team which probably made it easier. On another note why don't you have any rallys on this team?
I think with the current heal and clarity summoner skills, u get a bit of overkill. remember that the heal has been nerfed badly, and although u heal urself for the full ammount. i still think it isnt worth it. dont get me wrong, 2 or 3 heals van be good, but4 or 5 is too much. try going for 1 or 2 rally's, or even a cleanse (note, even though they nerfed it again, its still really good) i see u took the cleanse cloak for kayle, why not replace that item with something better, and give him cleanse? Also, if your having trouble farming: try putting sivir in there, hes a great pusher, of the opposite teams mobs, and ur other chars will keep ur own mobs alive. soraka and sivir is a killer lane combo, ive had issues with that alot. even though i went 3-0-3, killing soraka and sivir 3 times with my lanemate, they still pushed us so far, that they killed our second turret in 12 mins! So even if the other team has 4 times your kills, and even if they are way better farmed, pushing towers will hurt them alot. All in all, it could work.
Junior Member
no rally and stacking heal?? no way dude ive went against this comp only once and it was pretty annoying though but that was a few patches back (and only once) also no mana manipulator stacking is fail also, this is an early game strat and u need starks
Captain Scro
Wow Taric's new art makes him look even more...eh.....fabulous
Without promote I don't think this build has much of a shot. The best improvement I would recomend is that your summoner spells need tweeking. Heal and Clarity are nice sure, but how often are each of the 10 abilities on cd? Sub in 2-3 rallies. They help take down towers and heal almost as much as the heal spell over time. Take out 2-3 Clarities for some more CC, something like Exhaust to weaken iny physical threats.
Hilariously low damage output, but can heal til the end of time? Not gonna work here. Your team heals, my team takes executioner's calling with heavy DPS. We win quickly because you don't hurt and now your heals are essentially useless. Hate to say it, but a cheap item on a couple of fast carries ruins this team.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: CZECH REPUBLIC for FACT CHECK
The government of the Czech Republic has collapsed at an awkward time.
Czech Republic: The Government Collapses
<media nid="134329" crop="two_column" align="right">Czech Prime Minister
Mirek Topolanek at a press conference on March 24</media>
The government of the Czech Republic lost a no-confidence vote March 24.
While the prime minister might be allowed to remain in office until the
end of the Czech Republic's term as head of the EU presidency, he will
receive even less attention from fellow EU leaders and Russia than before.
<relatedlinks title="Related Special Topic Page" align="right">
<relatedlink nid="124360" url=""></relatedlink>
<relatedlink nid="131272" url=""></relatedlink>
The center-right government of Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek lost a
parliamentary vote of no-confidence March 24. Czech President Vaclav Klaus
now can either appoint a new prime minister, who would require
parliamentary approval within 30 days, or call for early elections by
dissolving parliament. Further complicating the situation, Prague
currently holds the <link nid="129729">rotating six-month EU
The collapse comes at an awkward time for the Czech Republic, given that
it currently holds the rotating EU presidency. I know that we
traditionally have the "nut" graph and all, but in this case we are
literally just repeating the last sentence from the trigger graph. For
pieces that are less than 600 words, do we really need a nut graph (or in
this case the nut sentence)? I mean it is a medium-shorty that tells like
a story... With the summary, the trigger and the nut, we say the same
thing (that this is an awkward time) three times.
This is Central Europea**s second change in governments in two days.
(<link nid="134216">Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany confirmed
March 23 that he is resigning</link>. It <link nid="131051">comes as no
surprise to STRATFOR</link>. The Topolanek government was shaky from its
very inception in June 2006. It held exactly 100 seats in the 200-seat
lower house of parliament, and faced multiple problems with coalition
partners along the way.
The most recent clashes between Topolanek and his coalition partners and
opposition focused on the proposed U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD)
radar installation -- in July 2008, 44 percent of Czechs opposed the
installation, and only 35 percent supported it -- and on the economic
measures to deal with the economic crisis. While Prague had managed to
escape the worst of the financial crisis sweeping through its neighbors in
Central Europe, its dependency on eurozone demand for its manufactured
goods has severely hurt its industrial output, which fell 23.3 percent in
January (the fourth straight monthly decrease) compared to January 2008
numbers. Ultimately, it was Prague's handling of the economic crisis that
ultimately (ultimately is repeated here twice, we should scratch the
second) brought Topolanek and his government down.
Now the question is whether President Vaclav Klaus, by no means a fan of
Topolaneka**s government nor of the proposed U.S. BMD plan, will allow the
current government to serve out the remainder of its term as EU president
(until the end of June), propose a totally new caretaker government of
technocrats to deal with the financial crisis until new elections are held
in 2010, or call for new elections which would have to be held within 60
days of the dissolution of parliament.
Klaus's well-known europskepticism -- he refused to fly the EU flag over
Prague Castle during the Czech EU presidency, and has opposed the Lisbon
Treaty vociferously -- also adds a further dimension to the imbroglio.
This is because he will now have the chance (indeed, even the
responsibility) to become much more involved in the day-to-day running of
Praguea**s foreign policy, and ironically, the EU -presidency. The
situation could become downright embarrassing for the Czech Republic when
U.S. President Barack Obama and the entire EU leadership descend upon
Prague on April 5 following the NATO summit. Even simple protocol issues,
such as who greets the incoming EU and U.S. leadership at Ruzyne
International Airport, will become uncomfortable, to say nothing of the
decision of who will represent the Czech Republic at the meeting (the
choices being the deposed prime minister of the euroskeptic president).
The most likely scenario being talked about in Prague is that Topolanek
will be allowed to remain in power until the end of the EU presidency in
an interim capacity. Main opposition leader Jiri Paroubek of the Social
Democrats confirmed as much immediately following the no-confidence vote.
This will mean, however, that a weak and distracted Topolanek, pressured
by emboldened Klaus at every turn, will receive even less attention from
fellow EU leaders and Russia than he already had (<link nid="130513">which
was not much</link>). Meanwhile, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been
practically salivating for a chance to return <link nid="129925">Paris to
its hyperactive diplomacy overdrive</link> -- at one point even suggesting
that due to the financial crisis and negotiations with Russia, the French
presidency should be extended at Praguea**s expense.

Arkansas House Approves Tax Hike For Forestry Agency
By Associated Press
A proposal to increase the tax that private timberland owners pay to help the financially troubled Arkansas Forestry Commission's firefighting efforts is headed to Gov. Mike Beebe's desk.
By a 75-10 vote, the House approved legislation that would increase the fire protection tax from 15 cents an acre to 20 cents an acre.
The tax increase would be effective for assessment years beginning in 2013. The measure is expected to raise about $700,000 a year.
The proposal was approved a year after the commission's director resigned over questions about finances.
