Since I moved to Texas in 2005 I have not made the trip with my children to Brenham, Texas to see the beautiful bluebonnet and wildflower fields. I decided this year was going to be our year so I dressed the kids up in their easter outfits and loaded them up for the long trip. Joining us on the journey were my adorable niece and nephew. I was so excited to finally get some great shots of my kids in the bluebonnets! So we start driving and just when we should be starting to see fields of lush beautiful flowers we see nothing! My heart sinks as I begin to realize that I had waited a couple of weeks too long. Darn. My kids were getting frustrated and disappointed at the lackage in pretty flowers. We were just about to turn around and call it quits til next year when my sister in law spotted a small patch off the side of the road and hidden almost from view. YES! By this point the kids were so fried we were lucky to get these shots.
Lincoln had been the best sport the whole time, until the picture below. "No more pictures Aunt Liz!"
My nephew is incredibly protective of his little sister. When I asked my sister in law how she taught him this she just said he was born that way. Too cute!!
Children's Portraits are a very touchy subject, you want happy, smiling, kids but sometimes things don't always work out as planned. A good tip for any mom getting her kidos ready for their portraits is to not get them dressed until we are ready to shot. This keeps the kids from messing up their cute clothes . Also I usually bring along bribery of some sort. This time we brought along jelly beans, which while they were yummy for the kids they were a colorful drooling mess!! Note to self…jellybeans+pictures=messy, gooey, faces. Although it did make for this cute pic below.
My youngest Emma had had enough of the whole ordeal. To show her disdain for my picture taking she ripped up a bluebonnet and threw it at me…what an angel
Timeless Photography captures children's portraits on location of your choice (we have plenty of suggestions if you don't have anywhere in mind). Our session fee includes two hours of photography for an unlimted number of persons. We are very flexible and we allow plenty of time for outfit changes, short snack breaks, quick location changes, as long as time permits, whatever it takes to keeps your children happy and comfortable. We know kids and our sessions allow for a welcoming setting where they are free to be themselves while we capture their own unique personality.

We Need to Get These Overlooked Visionaries Some Attention!
Writers like Verne and Wells get a lot of attention and they were no doubt great minds and visionaries, but a shocking number of other creative men and women stand largely unknown or forgotten; we deeply hope that we can help play a role in changing this situation! Without your help, these men and women could easily be waiting another hundred years to get noticed. After all, if they don't get their due in the Internet Era, then when is it going to happen?
-Truly Evil Aliens
-The Internet (yes, seriously)
-Videophones (yes, seriously again)
-Life extension technologies
-Green technology
-Ultra high-speed rail
-Evil Robots
-Even Eviler Robots
-Powerful advances in food production
-Weather Control
-Equal Rights
-Women in Key Political Positions
-Universal Translation Machines
-Truth Drugs
-Outlandish Weapons
-Space Battles
-Space Stations
-Space Travel
-Different Social and Political Structures
-We cover this and much, much more!
While we could tell the story of these visionary minds of science fiction without any animation, artwork or graphics, this documentary most definitely cries out for this treatment. The intense and visual nature of these works is such that the more animation and artwork we can put into the final documentary, the more engaging and entertaining it will be.
These highly descriptive and imaginative works need the visual accompaniment of animation and richly detailed artwork. Luckily, we have some of really great artists and animators who have joined the project! Also we have lined up many excellent interviews of people with diverse backgrounds in academia, entertainment, technology and literature. We will be announcing more people that will be interviewed shortly.
Here are a few of the entertainment industry people who will be interviewed in Cities in the Sky. (We will be announcing people from other industries shortly!)

Who are the Authors You Cover?
Science fiction experts and die-hard fans may know many of the names that are covered in Cities in the Sky, but for the overwhelming majority of viewers, the information covered in this documentary will be unexplored terrain. A wide range of authors from around the globe and throughout thousands of years of history are covered.
Here's info on just a few of the authors we are covering:
Space travel, aliens and more staple science fiction concepts were all contemplated and detailed by Lucian in his work True History in the 2nd century AD. This is a controversial selection for this documentary, but the date of authorship and the sheer number of science fiction themes explored in his writing makes it an easy pick.
Edward Page Mitchell's work The Clock That Went Backward predated H.G. Wells's much better known work about time travel The Time Machine. Additionally, Mitchell penned several other gems involving invisibility and other topics often seen in modern science fiction.
The work of Russian Vladimir Odoevsky is also explored in Cities in the Sky. Odoevsky's The Year 4338: Petersburg Letters was written in 1835 and yet prognosticates an impressive array of technological breakthroughs and concepts including communications breakthroughs like blogging.
This is just a taste of the numerous authors discussed in Cities in the Sky: Science Fiction's Forgotten Visionaries. So who are the other writers whose works we will be exploring? Good question!
Please back our project today and find out!
How Will the Funds Be Used?
Animation, Art and CG-Oh My!-Since we are a documentary that has animation, CG and lots of artwork, we need funds for all three of these major areas. Due to the nature of our topic, namely covering all these great overlooked science fiction novels and stories, we truly do need these visual tools to showcase just how great these works truly are. Plus, it will make for a much cooler and interesting documentary as well.
Music-We feel that music is a very big deal and we don't plan on making it an afterthought. Music adds a lot to any project and this is why we went out and found a really great composer. There will be other music from bands, such as Thrushes, which we really like and think you'll like as well.
A Professional Crew-We have all the expenses you would expect to see in a feature-length documentary and more. Our goal is to produce a very-high end documentary on what is truly a shoestring budget. The addition of animation, professional artwork and CG, of course, adds to the costs, but this project just wouldn't be the same without it! We should note that the only reason that any of this is possible at the budget we have set is that many working professionals in the industry are cutting us a real break on what they normally charge for two reasons- one is that they like the project, and two, they are nice.
So why should you support Marisa and Issac on their journey to make Cities in the Sky: Science Fiction's Forgotten Visionaries?
- We are lifelong science fiction fans and love the genre.
- Issac has a Masters Degree in History and has been researching this topic for many years.
- Our time as festival directors meant that we've seen thousands of independent films, animations and documentaries. This has given us a good idea of what generally works and what should probably be avoided. (We've seen wonderful things. And, of course, we've seen things that have made us worry for the soul and future of mankind.)
-Having promoted and screened lots of films by great filmmakers over the years, we have always been looking for the opportune time to launch this project. (We are finally looking for the chance to be the bride instead of just the bridesmaid!)
Help us to fund this documentary and we promise to use our hearts and souls to give you a professionally produced, visually intense and interesting documentary.
Risks and challenges
We have successfully executed many film festivals and panels, and also have completed a feature length film. But we do realize that every time a project is in the works, there are always risks and challenges that result. Life can be unpredictable.
While we don't necessarily foresee this happening, one issue that could occur is we could lose key people (like animators or artists) who previously had made commitments to work with us. This could delay the project's completion, because we might need to replace these people. Also we have lined up more industry professionals to interview for the documentary. These people's schedules and locations could change, and if this happens, it could also delay the project. We promise to keep our backers updated every step of the way, so you have a clear idea of when the film will be completed.
Right now the biggest hurdle is the money we need to make sure that Cities in the Sky is everything we hope it can be. And that is why we need your support and participation!

Graeme Armstrong pulled one back for Gateshead but MacDonald's second two minutes later eased home nerves. Weston's 25-yard drive and tap-in made it five for Brentford before Armstrong scored his and Gateshead's second. .... read more

DREAD TIMES: The New Reality
Friday, December 2, 2011
As many of you know, Troy Davis' sister, Ms. Martina Correia, died yesterday in Savannah, Georgia, at about 6:30 p.m. Without doubt, Troy Davis' most reliable advocate during his twenty years on Georgia's death row (and for the two years he awaited trial) proved to be his elder sister, Martina Correia. Born in Savannah, Georgia, and educated and trained as a health care practitioner, this modern day "Harriet Tubman" worked as a nurse in the United States Army when her brother, Troy Davis, initially faced charges of murder in August 1989.
According to Martina, before she saw the miscarriage of justice in her brother's case, she never opposed the death penalty. In fact, until the arrest of her brother, Martina never believed that, in the United States, the innocent went to prison. As a matter of fact, in August 1989, when local television broadcasts informed Georgia residents that the police regarded Troy Davis as "armed and dangerous", Martina initially believed that the murder charges against her brother would be "dropped" after Troy surrendered to the police and thereby gave the police a chance to see that "Troy was innocent". However, her views changed in August 1991 after the state of Georgia wrongfully convicted and sentenced Troy to die in the electric chair. Although barred by the white trial judge from sitting in the courtroom during her brother's trial, Martina Correia nevertheless witnessed the heinous aftermath of perjured prosecution testimony and of police misconduct. After seeing this injustice, Martina soon joined the movement for the abolition of America's death penalty.
From August 1991 until Troy Davis' death on September 21, 2011, Martina Correia proved to be not only Troy's sister and best friend, but also his most credible and effective advocate against the wickedness of the American police state. For about two decades, Martina campaigned against the death penalty, doing so for a substantial period as a member of the board of directors of the National Coalition for the Abolition of the Death Penalty and, later, as a member of Amnesty International, U.S.A. Indeed, for many years, she campaigned against the death penalty without mentioning Troy Davis' case, because she worried that her advocacy would appear to be biased because of her desire to free her brother from death row.
However, as evidenced by her resolve to free her brother from prison, Martina Correia never doubted Troy's "actual innocence". More than the lawyers who represented Troy Davis, and more than such organizations as Amnesty International and the NAACP, Martina Correia spoke to American courts, to the American people, and indeed to the world at large about the racially bigoted injustice of the Troy Davis conviction. After all, Martina Correia informed the public: (1) that seven out of nine prosecution witnesses recanted their trial testimony against Troy Davis and confessed that they perjured themselves for the government, and that some did so because of illegal police pressure; (2) that at least five new witnesses filed sworn affidavits identifying a police informant named Sylvester "Red" Coles as the actual murderer, not Troy Davis; and (3) that a humane society would never execute someone with so much proof of his or her actual innocence.
Despite Martina's advocacy, the state of Georgia never wanted to know the truth about Officer Mark MacPhail's murder on August 18, 1989. Nor did it want to know the truth about Troy Davis' innocence from that date until his execution on Georgia's death row. As a result, Martina Correia finally bore witness to the death of her brother by "lethal injection", that is to say, by a legalized lynching, on September 21, 2011. A little more than five months earlier, on April 12, 2011, Martina's and Troy's mother, Ms. Virginia Davis, died "of a broken heart", as Martina would say -- while asleep at home in a rocking chair.
For several years, Martina insisted on the political truth in the claim that "I am Troy Davis". She never wavered from the proposition that, while she desperately wanted her brother to live and to be free from prison, his case had become immeasurably larger than that of one man. She made clear that, whatever happened, the injustices of the American police state had to be crushed into nonexistence. Moreover, while the Mark MacPhail family exhibited disdain and hatred for her brother, even to the point of wishing him to be dead, Martina Correia always respected them and spoke lovingly about wanting to protect them from the emotional pain that resulted from Mark MacPhail's murder on August 18, 1989. In the end, Martina, like her brother and mother, died with the courage of her belief in her brother's actual innocence and also with a principled desire to abolish, once and for all, capital punishment.
Survived by her son, De'Jaun, by her sisters Kim and Ebony, and by her brother Lester, Martina Correia, her work, and her cause deserve our utmost respect. From this day forward, or even "from everlasting to everlasting", Martina's life must be our example. After all, Martina's uncompromising love for her brother provides an excellent standard for us to follow, particularly in our political struggle against injustice and against political wickedness.

We carry out research for both the public and private sectors. Here are several examples of current and completed research projects.
Truck Freight Generators and Attractors in the Province of Ontario
This work is being carried out in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation as a follow up
to a study that examined some of the more internationally-oriented freight generators in the
Province. The purpose here is use available data sources to accurately screen out a large number of
second-tier freight generators scattered throughout regions of the province and to perform a round of
survey work to gather further details about each generator. Linked Report
Maximizing the Potential of the Foreign Trade Zone Concept in Canada
This research examined the array of programs in Canada that seek to provide similar benefits to the more singular U.S. FTZ program. It has also examined the dilemma of not using a true zone concept in a world that is used to FTZs as zones with defined spatial boundaries. As well as the U.S. case , some examples from around the world are evaluated. The report concludes that some geographical reframing of the FTZ concept is required and that there are some important marketing issues to be considered as well. Finally, it suggests that the disparate FTZ-oriented programs in Canada need to be brought more into line with one another. Linked Report

Seaway Under-Utilization: Are
Regulations to Blame?
This report assesses the extent to which the regulatory environment can be used as an explanation
for why Seaway volumes have not reached the levels of decades past and why it has been difficult for
new Seaway services oriented towards higher value goods to gain traction. The results suggest that
non-regulatory factors such as shifts in global demand patterns and intense competition from other
modes within the region such as rail offer the most powerful explanations. Nevertheless, the report
notes that even after the elimination of the Canadian 25% duty on foreign built ships, there are still some significant regulatory barriers to be addressed. Linked Report

Shutterbug Follies
- Posted by Johanna on December 29, 2005 at 2:12 pm
- Category: Graphic Novel Reviews
- CREDITS: by Jason Little
- PUBLISHER: Doubleday Graphic Novels; $24.95 US
Bee, the heroine of Shutterbug Follies, is just out of high school. Until she has enough money to do something with more of a future, she's working at a one-hour photo processor, where she's developed a rather odd hobby — making her own copies of the weirder pictures people bring in. When a customer asks her to develop pictures showing dead bodies, she decides to follow him to find out the story behind the images. Her snooping puts her in danger as she winds up involved with gangsters and assassins.
The book is an intriguing combination of Nancy Drew (only with more mature content in the photos and images) and Rear Window, as Bee obsessively spies on her prey. The art is vibrantly colored, with lots of oranges and greens and violets, and the panels have rounded corners, similar to old photos. It all adds up to a feeling of unreality that suits the action motif. The landscape (horizontal) format of the gorgeous hardcover gives the story a feeling of film, whether still pictures (which influenced the plot) or movies (which influenced the tone).
The look of the book positions the reader as observer, similar to Bee. Putting myself in her place made me more sympathetic to her rather outrageous behavior. Her youth and excitability make it understandable that she'd take such risks out of curiosity. She's going to follow her hunches through until she finds out exactly what's going on, meeting friends and helpers along the way.
I wanted to know more about many of the characters; they seem like real people with lives beyond the panels we see them in. The author describes the book as "bubblegum noir", which is both accurate and a great phrase. It's a bit darker then an old-fashioned teen adventure, but the colors, especially, keep the story feeling light and fun, even when we're watching a character in mortal danger.
Shutterbug Follies won the 2003 Ignatz Award for Outstanding Artist and the 2002 Ignatz for Best Online Comic. More information and sample comics are available at Little's website.

And that, of course, is precisely what they did not do. Instead, the overseers at GM tiptoed through a kind of bookkeeping loophole. "Retiree benefits were a future cost," Lowenstein writes. "Forced to choose, executives inevitably found more slack in future budgets (if they bothered to calculate them at all) than in present ones. Thus they repeatedly offered richer pensions later in exchange for modest increases in wages now." San Diego officials engaged in a similar shell game. Their desire not to raise taxes made the city council look at pensions as an ideal vehicle for funneling money to city workers without actually having to pay for it.
Since these decisions amounted to mortgaging the future to keep peace in present, they seem obviously wrong in retrospect. But the truth is that they were obviously wrong at the time they were made, which is what makes Lowenstein's story so infuriating. It's not that offering pensions was a mistake. But offering—and continually expanding—pension commitments without preparing to meet them was impossible to defend.
What makes the behavior of these institutions so mysterious is that aging is not exactly a new process. This is the nice thing about looking at an actuarial table: it makes it very clear what you can expect. (The rapid inflation in healthcare costs made forecasting the future value of health-care benefits more difficult, but Lowenstein shows that as far back as the 1960s, auto executives were aware that health-care inflation was a serious problem.) Yet whenever actuarial reality told them something inconvenient, Lowenstein's protagonists chose to ignore it. When their pension funds had a good year in the stock market, they often spent the proceeds instead of saving them as a bulwark against the bad years. When they needed to make their pension obligations look smaller, they boosted the expected return on their investments, creating the illusion that the fund was in better shape than it actually was.
The glaring question is why. As Lowenstein sees it, the people making the decisions were too insulated from the consequences of those decisions. And again, they had incentives to take care of things in the present while letting the future go to hell. After all, the nature of retirement benefits is that by the time the bill comes due, the people who negotiated the deals are usually long since gone. Someone else can pay the costs down the road.
In that sense, While America Aged is about more than just pensions. It's really an excellent case study of a bigger and more general problem in the modern economy, namely the principal-agent problem. Today, we (the principals) have to put more and more responsibility for our lives in the hands of others (the agents), whom we pay to represent us. (Shareholders are the principals, CEOs the agents; voters are the principals, elected representatives the agents.) And sometimes this works great. But what's become increasingly clear is that unless the incentives in a principal-agent relationship are carefully designed, agents are often going to look out for their own interests first.
The recent boom in reckless behavior by people working for mortgage brokers and investment banks—behavior that in some cases wrecked entire companies— can be explained in large part by the fact that the people who made the bad decisions had a short-term interest in doing so. And pensions, of course, exacerbate the principal-agent conflict, because of the factor of time. In the short run, taking a tougher line on pensions means that executives need to pay higher wages, raise taxes (or cut profits, if they're running a company), or risk a strike. None of those options are especially attractive. By contrast, if they're generous with pensions, they get to keep the peace and not give up very much in the present. Everyone wins—except the future citizens or shareholders, now saddled with hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars of debt. As Lowenstein suggests, this was a recipe for disaster: "Retirement schemes necessarily involve a treaty between today and tomorrow, and on a mass scale. It is no surprise that so many have run aground, or that when they do, financial upheaval is the result."

The top hockey clubs of Dhaka are seemingly taking a u-turn on their decision to recruit Pakistani players and are considering Indian players instead in light of the strained diplomatic relations between Bangladesh and Pakistan over the execution of war criminal Abdul Quader Mollah.
The top clubs usually bank on the Pakistani players to fill their foreign player quota and initially that was the case this time too.
In the absence of Mohammedan SC and Dhaka Mariner Youngs Club, the other two giants Abahani and Usha KC had initially communicated with Pakistani players, but are now having to look for players from India for the season, which starts with the Club Cup on January 7 followed by the Premier Division League, as they feel they cannot ensure the security of Pakistani players in the current context.
"We had communicated with Pakistani coach Rana Jahir, who was in charge of the club last time, along with a few Pakistani players but we had to drop that idea due to the change in scenario," said Usha KC manager Rafiqul Islam Kamal. "We have already contacted four Indian players through Indian coach AK Bansal but nothing has been finalised yet."
Further explaining the reason behind dropping their plan of signing up Pakistani players, the former national forward, Kamal, said, "It is a question of ensuring the security of the Pakistani players which we cannot ensure on our own. Besides, we don't know whether the Pakistani players will get visas for Bangladesh in time. That's why we are looking for the Indian players."
Like Usha KC, giants Abahani are also communicating with an Indian agent to get the players for the Club Cup and Premier Division Hockey League despite having confirmed four Pakistani players earlier.
"We had confirmed four Pakistani players, but now we have started communicating with the Indian players as we cannot ensure security for the Pakistani players in light of the deteriorating ties between the two countries. Since the Club Cup and the league will be completed within a short span of time, we will make do with the Indian players that we can get," said Abahani's adviser coach Mahbub Harun yesterday, adding that the club is yet to take a final decision on the issue.
However, it has been learnt from the club officials that the Pakistani players are also not too intent on coming to Bangladesh in the current situation even though there is no embargo from either the Bangladesh Hockey Federation or the government on Pakistani players playing in Bangladesh.

Local company develops small wind turbine for home and commercial useFriday, May 23rd, 2014 Issue 21, Volume 18.
Bechtel said the company has designed and built a compact Wind Turbine Generation System (WTGS) that can produce more than enough energy to power the average home. "We are still in the development stage but we are looking at building five kilowatts per hour system," Bechtel said. "The average home consumes between two and a half to three and a half kilowatts per hour so one turbine can generate enough energy to run a house every hour." Currently, the company is in the process of working with Riverside County and University of California, Riverside for the modeling and prototype of the WTGS. "We have been in contact with UC Riverside through their engineering department and they are very interested in the wind turbine," Bechtel said. "We want to use their senior class who has a competition with 16 other colleges for wind turbine development. My goal is to bring it to a grass roots level. That is why I wanted to go through a university." The WTGS is much smaller than the turbines that are commonly seen dotting the landscape throughout Riverside Countys rural areas. It was invented by Paul Moretto, CEO of Universal Wind Turbine LLC. Moretto also holds the patent for the 4-foot high turbine which is intended for individual home and commercial application. "The ones you see in Palm Springs are humongous, the blades are 110 feet long," Bechtel said. "What we have is innovative because it is free standing and small. Wed like to have it on the roof of a house or a commercial building." One of the goals of the project is to utilize as many recyclable materials as possible, Bechtel said. "There are so many different technologies for polymers, lightweight material and recycled materials," he said. "We want this wind turbine to be made out of as much recycled and lightweight and composite material as possible. We want renewable and reusable material." The generator itself was designed focusing Advertisement As the wind fuels the WTGS it is redirected to hit each blade six times, multiplying the WTGS power within any blowing wind. Unlike existing windmills, each turbine within the WTGS follows the flow of the wind like sails on a sailboat or as a water wheel follows the path of the water. "The patent for the WTGS includes 20 novelties including the horizontal design utilization of the reverse principle causing leverage and increasing its power, and its small size which blends in seamlessly with existing buildings," Bechtel said. Bechtel says the WTGS is designed not to replace solar, but rather compliment it. According to his estimates, to run only wind turbines should cost homeowners just a little less than solar at the current rates for the average home. "I dont think of solar being our competitor, we want to be complimentary towards solar, which can only generate so much electricity. Solar gets between four and five hours of sunlight and sometimes even six but that is the max," Bechtel said, noting that the wind blows 24 hours a day, seven days a week. "The U.S. Department of Energy has a site that forecasts all the different wind speeds throughout the U.S. and the average wind speed is 7 to 13 miles per hour. In California that wind speed is seven miles per hour. Our wind turbine will turn typically at three to four miles per hour so its fully generating electricity for you." Once financing is secured the company can begin mass production, bringing jobs into the area. "There would be a minimum of 10 jobs just for manufacturing, then when you figure in the marketing and sales force that number could grow to 100 jobs easily," he said. "Youve got the trickle effect; when you have the demand you need the supply. We could definitely employ quite a few people." 1 comments

Author: Mark Stegall, M.D.
(Excerpt) "Donor-specific alloantibody is increasingly recognized as a major problem in renal transplantation. Whether present prior to transplantation or developing de novo after transplantation, the presence of DSA is a significant risk factor for premature graft loss. The past decade has seen the development of several novel therapeutic approaches to these patients. Paired donor programs now provide the possibility of either avoiding DSA completely or providing a donor against whom the recipient has much less antibody. Novel desensitization protocols have allowed successful transplantation of patients once considered untransplantable. Newer, more sensitive alloantibody detection assays have demonstrated that donor specific alloantibody (DSA) is a much more common than previously realized both pre and post-transplant. This review outlines our current understanding of alloantibody at various stages of transplantation and endeavors to assess the current treatment approaches to these difficult clinical problems. At the request of the editors, I also will address the challenges involved in clinical trial design in this area."

"..public-sector workers are spoiled rotten. Government employees earn 21% more than private ones and are 24% more likely to have access to health care..."
Once upon a time in America (not long ago), people who worked for the Government/Public sector earned much less than their Private sector counterparts. In return, they were promised a Pension & Medical benefits when they retire.
But, for the past few decades Labor has been in steady decline, thanks in large part to Outsourcing. Almost everything that was once done by Public Sector employees, is now contracted out. To the point where even the CIA was outsourcing some of the most Classified/Clandestine sensitive tasks to Blackwater (now Xe)!
Although I've never been a fan of Bureaucrats or Big Government, who can blame them (Public Sector workers) for fighting Tooth & Nail for a Living Wage?
There are a couple of dozen names that I can think of to describe many of those Government workers, like Complacent, Lazy, Rude, etc.... But calling them Spoiled Rotten, I think not.
Peace, Love & Respect.
What a nasty article.
In virtually every other rich country in the world (apart from the United States), healthcare and a decent pension are considered a right, not a privilege.
Last summer in Toronto, the garbage collectors had a strike over the government's plan to cancel the paid-days off to save the city from its desperate financial situation - right in the middle of the summer, so that garbage could pile up and rot in summer heat.
Now the entire province of Ontario is paralyzed by a driver's testers union striking out, which has been going on for 4 months. The entire province is without a way of acquiring its driver's license.
Can you believe these guys?
If "public-sector workers are spoiled rotten," what does this make the median American reader of the Economist whose income is $166,000 a year?
The hypocrisy here is shocking. Somehow we are supposed to believe that it is wrong that 24% more of government employees have access to health care than private sector employees. This means that something like 12% of them have no health care. Would the Economist have us increase that number?
The wages of non-managerial employees have barely budged since 1973. Meanwhile the American economy has continued to grow at a steady if not driving clip. One of the reasons wages amongst these workers have not declined is because of the unions. Does the Economist believe that we should have actually been experiencing a decline in non-managerial wages over these decades? For the Economist is rather short on proposals for decreasing the extreme wage disparities between Americans and the lack of access to health care for so many.
If this is the brand of free trade the Economist chooses to push, there should be no surprises when strong majorities rebel.
Abolishing unions in public sector is reasonable. Charging high tax on bankers is also feasible. Both actions should be taken to protect the hard-working middle class in the private sector who has lost the most jobs.
California, Detroit, The Democrats using their majorities in these parts of the country to buy votes with public money has led to total disaster. And Obama is following their model at the national level. The result won't be any better!
The decline of guilds' monopolies was necessary to herald in the industrial revolution. Similarly, the fall of unions will be necessary for a truly twenty-first century economy to take hold in America.
Unions have long since outlived their usefulness and original purposes, for now they do nothing more than promote cronyism, inefficiencies, ossified job markets, and kakistocracies. When meritocracy, competition, and human liquidity are returned to the market then we will truly be poised for the fruitful opportunities of a lightning fast twenty-first century economy.
Furthermore, with unemployment rate officially at 10% and unofficially at 17% I think now is the perfect time that we bust up these unions for good and finally free ourselves from this burdensome albatross. We have millions of eager unemployed who are more than ready to work for competetive prices and these unemployed can be tapped to replace unworthy union members. After all, union members are more oft than not low-skilled and incompetent, their power lies solely in their numbers.
It's a shame, though, that politicians - largely Democratic in alignment - view unions as a white elephant they dare not disturb for fear of losing precious votes. Just like at GM, it looks like myopic politics will trump long-term sanity.
Re Simdon66 comments:
Your statement that public sector employees would earn much more in the private sector is absurd. I worked in the field of Compensation management for >10 years in Los Angeles County (an employer of 60+ thousand) and can categorically tell you that the money earned, the generosity of the benefits, and the potential pensions far and away outstrip those of their private sector brethren. Public sector employees are NOT the best candidates to leave and seek their fortune in the real world. They find out how unprepared and overpaid they are. In addition, the management is not as sharp as one might expect, because political promotions are much more prevalent in the public sector. Teacher unions? Don't get me started....they whine and moan and ALWAYS are working "on behalf of the children". Unmitigated crap! They work for money like everyone else, and are no more altruistic, and are in many instances hindrances to good teaching practices. And the unions are right there to back them up. There are probably less teachers (as a percentage) let go for incompetence than in just about any other employment group. Just read some prior articles in the Wall Street Journal (and probably The Economist) and you will find it almost impossible to fire bad teachers in a system like New York City. Public unions are, quite frankly, dangerous to the fiscal health of many a taxpayer who supports them handsomely and then hears nothing but whining. You'd think they were working in open-pit mines with hand trowels on hands and knees for 16 hours a day, get abused by management 17 hours a day, ad nauseam. A pox on the unions houses and the stooopid public managers --- and their politician bosses --- who have few clues about the real world of work.
I agree with jonobo1064 and pursuer of happiness. It is interesting to note that you are considered a normal, red blooded American to state that a person who has a masters in social work, who works for a state and works hard all of their life trying to help people in their time of need are considered spoiled rotten and coddled because they have decent health care insurance and a pension but if you say that a person who has a masters of business administration who sells financial products or markets cleaning products doesn't deserve millions of dollars, golden parachute pensions or health care benefits that costs way more than any in the public sector than you must be a socialist / communist. Sounds like a double standard.
Also, although there are many practices that are ridiculous in the public sector, especially regarding pensions such as retiring from one job and then being hired in a similiar position or having a person being moved up or down a rank so they can recieve a bigger pension (this unfortunately happens with municpal workers, especially police). For the most part, articles like this one don't really go into detail. For example most state and federal workers are highly educated, and although they earn alot more money than the average private sector worker, they would be earning alot more money in the private sector if they held equivilant jobs. Again, on the municipal level, it is true that people who work in the department of public works tend to earn more and definetly have better benefits than their private sector counterparts, howevever these are reforms that need to be handled at that level rather than broadly saying public sector workers are spoiled. Also, while many teachers will even complain about some of the absurdities about the power of teachers unions, it is interesting to note that with in the public school sector, there are great differences between different districts and even schools with in the same district all with in the same states that have the same union / workplace rules.
Why can't American workers be more like their counterparts in China? We've outsourced as many jobs as possible here, and have hired illegal immigrants to break the "family wage" union jobs in meat-packing, construction, hospitality, etc. Now we must focus on the public sector. Already we've forced treachers and public servants to work 3 or 4 days each month without pay and upped their co-pays while cutting health care services. Now we need to finish off the job Wall St. started by zapping what's left of their pension funds.
No one but those who clip coupons or preside as investment bankers or CEOs deserves health care, retirement, vacation, or access to free education. It's the neo-liberal way. Workers of the world beware! China has given us all a model to emulate--no unions, no workplace health and safety expenses, no benefits, rock bottom wages, toxic pollution externalized into the air their families breathe and the water they drink--now that's Comparative Advantage! Long days in the work house, subsistence wages, short, brutal lives. That's change we capitalists can live with!
A good way to solve this would be to end the fancy government programs and put ALL government employees and politicians on Social Security and 401k like all of us other Joe Average folks.
There are 22.5 million US government employees. There are only about 20 million jobs in the nation's manufacturing and construction sectors combined. The average annual salary on the federal government payroll is $US 75,419 this year, according to Econwatch. The story is much the same at the state and local levels. In Pennsylvania, the average state employee has an annual salary of about $US 68,000 while the state's average HOUSEHOLD income is $US 48,576. The US private sector has a per capita income of $US 39,751 and a per household income of $US 50,740.
The George W. Bush years were very lucrative for federal workers. In 2000, the average compensation (wages and benefits) of federal workers was 66 percent higher than the average compensation in the U.S. private sector. The new data show that average federal compensation is now more than double the average in the private sector.....and the inequality between government employees and the rest of us is still increasing under Mr. Osama's administration.
While $221K-and-change *pension* (for that retired police-chief) is surely obscene, I seriously doubt that civil servants in *general* earn much more than employees in the private sector; in fact, I suspect that the opposite is the case. Is the rank-and-file so generously remunerated? I cannot imagine. Also, police-work has to be seen, investment-like, as a risk/reward proposition: if you work on Gunshot Alley, you should command far higher pay than if you sit comfortably behind a desk. So this example, singled out by The Economist, is doubly distortive of the big picture.
As a nation the USA is in terminal decline, supported mainly by the energies of largely immigrant entrepreneurs who are still willing to put in the effort and hours required to support the great mass of the population that is content to drift gently into irrelevance. There is a class of problem that cannot be fixed, and the public-sector in the USA is merely one such problem. Very large ships sink very slowly - so slowly that hardly anyone notices, because there's plenty of time to adjust to deteriorating conditions. But in the end, the waves close over the top of the mast. It's a sad trajectory for a one-great nation.
Having access to health care is being "spoiled rotten"!?
As a civil servant for many years in the immigration sector, I would love to receive the fees charged by the private consultants in this sector ! but could not bring myself to charge such fees to clients that can receive the same service, free of charge.
Unions are cartels, plain and simple. Not only should they be illegal in the Public sector but Private sector bosses who allow their workers to unionize are signing death sentences for their companies.
From a 27 year old public servant.
First and foremost, thank you to the author for focusing on public sector unions and not simply the public sector as a whole. I have been a public sector employee for nearly four years. I worked for New York State Government as well as a County government near NYC and now I work for a foreign government. All of my work experience has been as an exempt employee/intern or at-will employee. In other words, as an exempt employee one is not afforded the same protections as in the unions and can effectively be terminated at any point should poor finances or performance deem it so. Also as an exempt employee I could not be granted civil service protection whilst employed in New York State - though this could vary depending on the municipality - I'm not entirely sure. I understand that it is still difficult to be terminated as an exempt employee and that the benefits are still exceedingly good (and sometimes unfair to private-sector counterparts). However, what the unions ask for and in many cases receive, is downright unrealistic and serves as an eternal drain on public finances. It has been appalling to witness the uncompromising attitude and inflexibility of public sector unions and their members.
Lastly, I wholly agree that teachers unions have no one but to blame but themselves for the rise of charter schools. Again this points to the unrealist and inflexible demands of such unions. When such demands become too unrealistic, one who uses such services may have no choice but to operate outside the system in its entirety, thus the creation of charter schools.
I hope The Economist will continue on this issue not just in the public sector but regarding unions as a whole.
Private companies should be allowed to bid on all possible services every 3-5 years against a proposal put forward by the union and current management. For those services where a private contractor is not possible (courts, police and fire perhaps), strikes should not be allowed, and an arbitrator should determine pay rates based on skills needed, danger and discomfort, and market rates for similar private sector jobs. Very few public employees would leave their cushy sinecures for the harsh realities of private employment, even at a much lower pay rate. Defined benefit pensions and free health care have got to go.
Amen to jonobo1064. Interesting that the Economist opposes a tax in the UK on bankers' *bonuses* at amounts above what many of the people in this article make as a yearly salary. Interesting also that, for American *workers*, access to health care is now considered part of being 'spoiled rotten'.
Obviously in tough times everyone needs to sacrifice (including unionized employees). However, if I compare what teachers, police, fire fighters, and garbage collectors add to my life vs. the effect that the wonderful folks in the world of finance (for example) have had on my family, I think I know who should be getting the bonus.
Well before the world economey went into decline people were lamrnting the fact that at times of record corporate profits workers pay and benefits were failing to keep pace, if not actually declining.
While there certainly are cases where unions are unreasonable and counter productive that is the exception not the rule.
When financial necessity dictates it is sometimes necessary for concessios to be made; however the vast majority of these situations are brought about by incompotenance and malfeasance of management be it a private company or goverment entity. I find it interesting that all these hollier than thou officials who preach personal responsibility are obviously the most irresponsible, incompotent managers to be found.
While union employees enjoy the pay and benefits that most people whish to have for themselves these same people are appaled that someone else has them. As is so often demonstrated in our society most people apparently realize that it is easier to drag someone elese down to your level than itis to lift yourself up to theirs

Bought at a reduced price, my 18month old loves wearing it with her wellies. brilliant, means she can play outside when it's wet without ruining her clothes!
April 04, 2013
I have a 4 month old and needed a rain suit for a sailing trip. bought 6-9 month as needed room to put a couple of warm layers underneath. really pleased, it's lightweight and breathable. excellent value for money.
January 21, 2013
I think it is a great product for kids keeping their clothes underneath suit dry and clean, if they fall over you can just mop the suit down
November 09, 2012
Great suit if you intend taking a baby out in something that doesn't have a rain cover - in other words a sling. you need something warm underneath as it is very lightweight but perfect at keeping them dry.
November 04, 2012
Not tried out yet but looks good quality and should keep our 2 year old dry in december!

Hello, and welcome to The Great Outdoors, a blog for all those who love the outdoor life, and are visiting or thinking of visiting the Upper Valley region. If you are currently in The Great indoors reading this, hopefully it will inspire you to visit the area, safe in the knowledge that when you get here you'll have planned your trip with military precision. (Though hopefully not the same military precision we used in Iraq that is). Don't worry, I'll stay away from the politics from now on. I should say that none of my views are representative of Loch Lyme Lodge, our sponsors on this little project. Anyway, the plan for this is to grow into a great resource for the area, somewhere you can go to find out just about anything, from where to fish , what to visit , where to find a children's playground or get a great pint of old speckled pigeon or whatever its called. You get the idea anyway. It does of course depend on yo' all to contribute your vast knowledge for this to work.
We are always looking for local expertise on the information we provide, so if you are an an avid fisherman, hiker or have anything at all you think you would like to contribute to , then let us know, we will add a category for you.
