The Fast-Track Fandango 3 days ago Why can't we have a trade debate worthy of the reality we face? Unprecedented trade deficits have undermined America's working families. We need a new strategy, not another dishonest and corrupted debate.
A Voice for Workers at the Federal Reserve 7 days ago The Federal Reserve Board is deciding when to raise interest rates. Its decisions will decide if millions of Americans get jobs or pink slips, whether wages rise or stagnate. Workers need a voice in those deliberations.
Warmongers – Beyond Giuliani's Bile, The Real Threat 1 week ago Rudolph Giuliani's slur against the president was vile, but the Republican and neoconservative chorus that is peddling fear and pumping for more war is truly dangerous.
Why the Country Needs a Populist Challenger in the Democratic Primaries February 17, 2015 Clinton is the prohibitive favorite. Some say a primary contest would be good for her. But the reason we need a populist challenger in the primaries is that we need a big debate about the direction of the country.
Rigging the Rules: The Next Corporate Sting February 2, 2015 The president's budget will trigger a new battle over America's direction. It contains many sensible proposals. But hidden in it is the next corporate sting: a massive tax break for multinationals. Here is how the rules get rigged.
The Mainstream Meets Occupy January 29, 2015 The recent Report of the Commission on Inclusive Prosperity may provide a leading indicator of Hillary Clinton's economic views. The mainstream gets it that the rules are rigged, but can't admit who did it.
Obama Gets His Swagger Back: The State of the Union's Scope and Limits January 21, 2015 The president's State of the Union address challenged the Republican Congress with a broad populist vision. Its scope and its limits make progressive movement even more important.
The President's State of the Union Address: A Progressive Field Guide January 20, 2015 Tonight's State of the Union address will be delivered before Republican majorities in both houses of Congress. Here's a short summary on the task the president faces tonight.
The Empty Center: Challenge and Opportunity for Progressives January 15, 2015 The Republican Congress offers no hope. The bipartisan agenda only digs us deeper in a hole. Americans are looking for real change. This poses both the challenge and the opportunity for progressives.
In Praise of John Conyers January 7, 2015 A movement leader. A savvy legislator. A whip-smart politician. A pragmatic visionary. Michigan Rep. John Conyers is being honored by the Institute for Policy Studies for his 50 years of service in Congress.
Growth or Fairness: The Phony Debate December 22, 2014 After the 2014 debacle, Democrats are looking for answers. But the phony debate pitting growth and jobs against fairness distracts from what is needed, while repackaging the failed ideas of the past.
The New Center Democrats: There's No There There December 19, 2014 Can old New Democrats find their voice in this populist moment? Hillary wants to know. William Galston, veteran scribe of the New Dems, applauds Sen. Chuck Schumer for showing the way. Only one problem: there's no there there.
The Bipartisan Cromnibus Saga: A Final Assessment December 16, 2014 With the passage of the spending bill, the keepers of convention – like The Washington Post editorial page – want applause for bipartisan achievement. But if that "spirit might flourish," most Americans will pay the price.
The Budget Bill: They Can't Help It; This Is Who They Are December 11, 2014 This $1 trillion dollar spending bill contains the first signs of the resurgent Republicans. Their signature touches of governing for the rich and the powerful are the first slush of the Republican winter to come.
December 8, 2014 Bernie Sanders Lays Down the Gauntlet Last week, Senator Bernie Sanders put out a 12 point Economic Agenda for America. His reforms break the bonds of the limited debate in Washington, but they already have remarkably strong support in the country.
December 5, 2014 November Jobs Report: Good News Coming The Department of Labor's November jobs report exceeded expectations, amid signs that working people may finally be seeing the first signs of the recovery that officially is in its fifth year.
Low Wage Workers: "We Can't Breathe" December 5, 2014 Even as protests over the Eric Garner grand jury swept the country, low wage workers walked off their jobs in over 180 cities, protesting jobs that leave them with no way to breathe. Senator Sanders stood with them. Will others join?
Chuck Schumer's Populist Concession December 3, 2014 Sen. Chuck Schumer started a brawl when he blamed the Democrats' losses on President Obama's success in passing health care reform. Missed in the hubbub is the surprising populist concession of the senator from Wall Street.
Giving Thanks For The Strangers November 27, 2014 As our family gathers this Thanksgiving, I am struck by the poetry and truth of the president's words in his immigration initiative: We know the heart of a stranger – we were strangers once, too. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
Keep On Steppin', Mr. President November 24, 2014 President Obama's executive action on immigration has been greeted with the expected threats by Republicans. He would best ignore the noise and keep on acting.
Obama's Immigration Order Moves Us Closer To Opportunity For All November 21, 2014 The American economy will grow stronger, from the bottom up, once we end our two-tiered economic system and ensure that all workers have the same rights. President Obama's executive action is a major step forward.
More Than The Minimum November 12, 2014 The Campaign for America's Future joined Good Jobs Nation and the co-chairs of the Congressional Progressive Caucus to urge President Obama to issue executive orders that would boost wages and strengthen worker rights.
The New Bipartisanship: The Big Sting November 11, 2014 All the talk is about "governing" and "getting stuff done." But when the two parties begin to agree, Americans should hold onto their wallets. This is the way the rules get rigged to favor the few.
Debacle: Get Ready for the Real Fight November 5, 2014 The election debacle puts Americans at risk. With a Republican Congress rewarded for its obstruction, anything that gets done in Congress is likely to serve the few and screw the many. Get ready for the fight to come.
Clear Lessons from Tuesday's Election Muddle November 3, 2014 Key elections are going down to the wire. Activists are mobilizing; dark money is flooding in. But some lessons seem clear. We're witnessing not a conservative revival, but the beginnings of a populist upheaval.
The Republican Governing Vision: Not October 27, 2014 Despite predictions, Republicans still haven't locked up the Senate. They parade as "not Obama." But they have little to say about where they would take the country. It is hard to win without a clue.
The Economy: What is the Democrats' Closing Argument? October 23, 2014 The election is still about the economy. And polls show Republicans have the edge on that. So what is the closing argument for Democrats? How do they make their case? The freshman Senator from Massachusetts offers a clue.
Being The 'Indispensable Nation' Is Killing American Democracy October 21, 2014 America — proudly dubbed the "indispensable nation" by its national-security managers — is now the entangled nation enmeshed in conflicts across the globe. But endless war undermines the Constitution.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio: A Powerful Populist Voice October 16, 2014 De Blasio's acceptance speech at CAF's Awards Gala Tuesday was a clarion call for a bold populist politics, one that would challenge the limits of conventional wisdom.
Celebrating America's Future: Light in Dark Times October 14, 2014 The news alarms. The elections will deepen obstruction. It is easy to lose heart. But there is a populist movement stirring that has only begun to build, but is likely to transform our country.
September Jobs Report: The Old Economy Strikes Back October 3, 2014 Is there a new foundation for growth in America, as President Obama claims? The September jobs report shows the recovery continues, but most Americans still don't feel it. In fact, the old economy has returned.
Bill Clinton's Corporate Fantasy September 25, 2014 Bill Clinton argues that corporate CEOs will soon care more about employees and society than profits. But today's CEO's are cashing out their own companies' futures to line their pockets. Sweet dreams won't change that.
Campaign 2014: Will Democrats Get the Message? September 22, 2014 As the campaign enters into its last weeks, ordinary voters begin to pay attention. People don't seem to be buying what Republicans are selling. But Democrats can overcome the odds only if they turn to a more populist voice.
Republicans for What? September 15, 2014 So asks the Wall Street Journal editors, urging Republicans to offer a few "smallish" ideas on what they are for in the upcoming campaign. Problem is Americans would be appalled if they knew what Republicans want.
The Importance of Zephyr Teachout September 9, 2014 She has run a shoestring campaign against a powerful, lavishly funded governor who refused to debate her. But whatever the outcome, her campaign has already had dramatic significance for progressives across the country.
August Jobs Report: The Folly Continues September 5, 2014 For August, the monthly BLS jobs summary reported a disappointing 142,000 new jobs. The economy continues to grow, but far too slowly. Action in Washington is needed, but is blocked by the Republicans in control of the House.
It's Harder to Reach the American Dream If You're Reaching All Alone September 2, 2014 With less than 7 percent of the private workforce represented by a union, the share of national income going to workers is near record lows. Democrats must once more make empowering workers central to their program.
Inequality: A Broad Middle Class Requires Empowering Workers August 28, 2014 A new CAF report makes a compelling case: Rebuilding America's broad middle class requires reviving a strong union movement. Labor helped build the middle class; and as labor lost ground, so did the middle class.
Democrats: Party of Future Change or Past Accomplishment August 13, 2014 Should Democrats run on what needs to be done or touting what has already been done? You wouldn't think this is a hard question. But the White House thinks its time to brag on the economy.
August Distemper: Will Change Yet Come? August 11, 2014 Americans are in a foul mood, for good reasons. Current polls suggest the fall elections offer little hope for change. Conservatives have failed; liberals remain too cautious. Only citizen movements can foster the change we need.

Rise In Lakeville Road Rage May Be Due To Construction
We've all felt this way before: annoyed while sitting in traffic, or mad someone cut us off. You may want to honk, but that's where it usually ends. Some, though, take it a step further.

Coming Soon ...
A new history of the wartime British Army,
from the author of the award-winning
Demobbed: Coming home After World War Two (2009)
Available March, 2015
How the British Army's First World War Shaped its Second
More than three-and-a-half million men served in the British Army during the Second World War, the vast majority of them civilians who had never expected to become soldiers and had little idea what military life, with all its strange rituals, discomforts, and dangers, was going to be like.
Alan Allport's rich and luminous social history examines the experience of the greatest and most terrible war in history from the perspective of these ordinary, extraordinary men, who were plucked from their peacetime families and workplaces and sent to fight for King and Country. Allport chronicles the huge diversity of their wartime trajectories, tracing how soldiers responded to and were shaped by their years with the British Army, and how that army, however reluctantly, had to accommodate itself to them.
Touching on issues of class, sex, crime, trauma, and national identity, through a colorful multitude of fresh individual perspectives, the book provides an enlightening, deeply moving perspective on how a generation of very modern-minded young men responded to the challenges of a brutal and disorienting conflict.

"Brilliant insight ... a great read for everyone who cares about the human cost of war" -
Taylor Downing, History Today
What happened when millions of British servicemen were "demobbed"—demobilized—after World War II? Most had been absent for years, and the joy of arrival was often clouded with ambivalence, regrets, and fears. Returning soldiers faced both practical and psychological problems, from reasserting their place in the family home to rejoining a much-altered labor force. Civilians worried that their homecoming heroes had been barbarized by their experiences and would bring crime and violence back from the battlefield.
Drawing on personal letters and diaries, newspapers, reports, novels, and films, Alan Allport illuminates the darker side of the homecoming experience for ex-servicemen, their families, and society at large—a gripping story that's in danger of being lost to national memory.
"Refreshing and fascinating ... an extremely interesting and lively read
which adds greatly to our understanding of the demobilisation process" -
Mark Connolly, Journal of Military History

· Carmaker presents itself at the World Economic Forum
· Shuttle fleet sharply underscores strict CO2 guidelines in Davos
· Audi Urban Future Initiative and Audi A2 concept provide ideas for the mobility of the future
Ingolstadt/Davos, – Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler strongly advocates a common economic and finance policy in Europe at the World Economic Forum in Davos: "From a global perspective, only a united Europe will be competitive in the long run." Representatives from business, politics and science are meeting for the 42nd time in the Swiss winter resort to discuss a better future."The rescue of the euro is currently the decisive topic, not just for us Europeans, but for many regions with close economic ties to us," emphasizes Stadler. The Audi chairman does not consider solving the crisis to be the responsibility of politics alone. What is needed now more than ever is responsible, future-oriented and sustainable business activity to bolster mutual trust within Europe and to consolidate the European national economies. "We need a strong European economic region if we are to be competitive from a global perspective. There is no alternative to the euro," says Stadler.
Audi established the Audi Urban Future Initiative in 2011 to identify and promote pathways to a sustainable and responsible future. At the World Economic Forum, the company is therefore presenting new ideas that architects, urban planners, politicians and energy suppliers have developed for the urban mobility of the future at this interdisciplinary exchange in the Audi Lounge – CO2-neutral, networked with the surroundings and driverless, if necessary.
The Audi A2 concept technology study on display in the Audi Pavilion at Lake Davos also offers a tangible peek at the electric mobility in the megacities of the future. Participants in the Forum can also experience the new driving feeling for themselves. The Audi A6 Avant hybrid and the Audi A3 e-tron, for example, are available for test drives at the Audi Pavilion. Under the watchful eye of instructors from the Audi driving experience, they will also have the opportunity to test and improve their driving skills on snow and ice in, among other vehicles, one of six Audi Q5 hybrid quattro models provided by Audi.
Audi has been the exclusive shuttle partner of the World Economic Forum since 1987. This year's fleet once again fulfills the strict guidelines of the "Towards a Greener Davos" initiative. With emissions of 171 g CO2/km, the Audi sedans are well below the limit of 200 g CO2/km set for Davos. The company is providing a total of 86 Audi A8 L and 13 armored high-security vehicles for the shuttle service in Davos.

England x Reader - I Believe YouYou were about to attend a party at your friend Alfred's house. You hadn't really wanted to go since his parties were always so loud, crowded and crazy, but when you found out that Arthur was going, you decided to go as well. You had more than a little crush on the British man, and maybe you'd get a chance to hang out with him at the party.You were extremely nervous, but also excited. The two of you were good friends, as you had known him since high school, but you didn't get to talk to him as often as you would have liked. He was always so kind to you though, and you felt calm and happy around him.As you parked next to the many other cars outside of Alfred's house, you looked around, trying to see if you could spot Arthur's car. You didn't notice it though.'I'm sure he'll show up soon,' you thought.You got out of your car and locked it, now heading towards the front door of the house. You could hear loud music as soon as you neared it. Y

Romano x Reader - Running Into YouYou were currently in the store shopping for groceries because you were having some friends over for dinner later in the evening. You had decided to make spaghetti since it was simple and tasted really good. You were currently holding your list of stuff to get. As you looked down at the paper in your hands and walked forward, you didn't notice that someone was walking right towards you."Let's see, next I need- Oof!" You dropped your list as you smacked right into someone and fell on the floor, which caused them to fall as well."Oi! Watch where you're-a going dumbass!" You looked up sheepishly and saw who it was you had bumped into. He had tan skin, hazel eyes, and dark brown hair with a gravity defying curl on the right side of his head. He was looking down, but you could still see the scowl on his face."I-I'm so sorry sir! I should've been watching where I was going," you laughed nervously.As soon as he heard

Rain tonight and tomorrow = Jack Trice Bathtub. Here is what I expect to see from the Purple Kitties tomorrow. There will be no escape from JK20 and AK47 however.
I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord, You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. During the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me? Because, says the Lord, Sandpeople always ride single-file, to hide their numbers.
This has potential!

Nat Adderley
~ Person
Born: Nathaniel Adderley, Tampa, Florida, USA
Died: Lakeland, Florida, USA
Active: 50s-90s
Instruments: Cornet, trumpet
Although less known than his brother Cannonball, and somewhat shadowed by him, Nathaniel Adderley had a rich and extended musical career.
Switching from trumpet to cornet, he made debuts with Lionel Hampton, before joining the early Cannonball's formation.
Then playing here and there, success came for the Adderleys at the dawn of the 60's, and Nathaniel sticked with the formation until the death of Cannonball in 1975.
Leading his own quintets, he recorded a number of interesting sessions during the next 20 years for random labels.
While most people can discover him in Cannonball's records, more experienced listeners may dig into one of the later Evidence releases, like the excellent Autumn Leaves: Live at Sweet Basil.

GOAT SONGS by John Weston. 242 pages. Afheneum. $6.95.
A very good novella is crated like a cracked vase in this volume, padded between two undistinguished lesser fictions that serve only to give the book that solid $6.95 heft. The unfortunate excelsior stories, All My Bones and The Call, are summer-weight Southern gothic. in which the author follows the convention of this school by writing about the rural poor as if they were all dimwitted. The title work, Goat Songs, is something else. A series of erotic recollections links a man to his boyhood....

Java RPG Stats System
28 May 2012 - 07:58 PM
I have been thinking this for a while and I'm not sure if there is already a solution out there. I did not find anything from Google. What I am wondering is how can I create a system that is easy to use for RPG games that uses stats for characters. It is not simply "Str", "Dex" and use some number to scale "attack" or "attack speed", but instead, a system that would nicely integrate effects into the game that is EASILY EXTENDABLE. Effects are things such as "decrease 10 hp per frame" or "increase 1.5 mana per frame". I'm thinking that each Entity in the game would keep at least two list of effects. Each effect maybe once time applied or per frame applied. During each frame, we simply loop through these lists and apply each effect. We remove the ones that are applied once and keep the ones that are applied over time. Anyone got any good polymorphic object oriented design?
Getting Resources in a Jar File
06 February 2012 - 05:33 PM
While loading any resources in a developing environment (ie run from Eclipse or BlueJ or w/e you use to edit your Java including CMD / Shell), it is easy. You can use relative path or absolute path. However, it seems when I export my game into a jar file, the path is not returned properly even if I call getClass().getResource("/").getPath(). I am GUESSING that it has to do with the fact that my classes (.java files) are inside packages. Specifically, they are in "sf/core/" folder (package sf.core). I have been searching (Google) and have yet to find any solutions. The getResource() always return null and calling getPath() will cause a NullPointerException. Anyone know of this problem?

Casey Anthony Mask Sells For Almost a Million Bloody Dollars
eBay user prophunter |
"Innocent" |
"Prophunter," the Los Angeles vendor who listed the mask, wrote in the item description that "Halloween is only a few months away. Forget Freddy, Jason, Meyers, here's your chance to scare the *#&% out of everyone ... with this amazing Tot Mom latex rubber mak, possibly the most frightening mask on the planet... I bet Nancy Grace would love one of these."
While it's certainly up for debate if Nancy Grace really needs another scary mask, we may never know the identity of the user who pledged to plunk down almost a million bucks for the horrifying (and creepily accurate) mask.
The starting price on Sunday was $25, but bidding quickly ratcheted up to $50,000 before making a jump to $700,000 about two hours before the end of the auction, suggesting several bidders had put in automatically increasing bids capped in the hundreds of thousands of dollars even as the top bid sat around $25,000.
Prophunter's most recent piece of feedback was for a $444 movie-prop silicone head he sold July 8; other than a $236 mannequin he sold the day before that, there isn't any feedback listed for sales since April 2009. If the Casey Anthony buyer ponies up, ol' prophunter's triumphant return to eBay may be the last auction he ever has to worry about, all over a little prop from "a parody video by enigmatic pop artist / sculptor Torro."
Even if the buyer backs out, prophunter can offer the mask to the other bidders at their last bid amount, and there were four accounts with bids over $700,000. Does anybody know how to make these things? I'm tryna make a bust of O.J. Simp-- oh. Never mind.

Churchill Downs Incorporated Reports 2012 Fourth-Quarter And Year-End Results
Net earnings from continuing operations for the fourth-quarter of 2012 were $2.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share, versus $4.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, during the final quarter of 2011.
CDI's fourth-quarter EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) decreased to $17.6 million from the record $19.6 million reported during the same period last year.
Gaming EBITDA improved $2.4 million due to the acquisition of Riverwalk. Racing EBITDA declined $1.5 million primarily due to Churchill Downs Racetrack not hosting the Breeders' Cup in 2012, as they did in 2011. In addition, Corporate EBITDA decreased $2.1 million during the fourth-quarter of 2012 due to increases in equity compensation expenses related to the successful performance of the Company during 2012. Finally, Online Business EBITDA declined $0.7 million as expenditures related to the Company's new real money gaming site, Luckity.com, offset incremental EBITDA generated by growth in the segment's core operations.
Net revenues from continuing operations for 2012 climbed to an all-time record $732.4 million, up from $696.9 million in 2011, a 5 percent increase. The growth in net revenues was due largely to the continued expansion of the Company's Online Business, a record Kentucky Oaks and Derby week performance and incremental net revenues from the October 2012 acquisition of Riverwalk. Net revenues from the Company's Gaming segment increased $10.5 million, primarily due to $10.3 million of net revenues generated by Riverwalk. In addition, Gaming revenues increased $3.4 million at Harlow's Casino Resort & Spa (Harlow's) during the year ended December 31, 2012, which was closed for 25 days during the same period of 2011, as a result of damage sustained from the Mississippi River flooding. These increases were partially offset by a $5.0 million decline in net revenues at Calder Casino during the year ended December 31, 2012, due to increased regional competitive pressure from the opening of a new casino in Miami during January 2012, along with what we believe to be a weak South Florida economy.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I've never been to a otb tournament so I don't know where my rating stands. I just played a match for my college chess team and I gave them an approximate rating to pair me up(~1500). This rating was just based on the many chess.com standard games I usually play where my ranking usually varies between 1500-1600. and a few of my friends who have actual ratings of about 1600 (they beat me usually 3/4 blitz games we play; but I tend to be better at longer rated games).I was to play a 1491 uscf rated player so I expected a pretty challenging game (60 min game with 5 sec inc.) to be my first real test of where my rating stands.A few things I noticed about the game:I controlled the game and in my opinion had better positioning.Despite this, I was unable to create problems that resulted in a material advantage or any positional advantage that would give me a lead. All my threats were neutralized.So my question about this game which I hope you guys can help is: Where could I have complicated the game more, created offbalances, or transformed the game into a position where he would have to play sharply?It seemed that I was gaining positional advantage and then falling back into an equal position, how could I convert it to winning?I was very pleased in this game of my tactical finish, but besides for that the game was very even.
I was pleased by the game but disappointed that if he didn't make that mistake the game would have been even again. What did I overlook in this game?
28....h6 would not work do to bxh6 and on move 11 I would not do bg5 because it trades away my active bishop for no reason.But anyway, thanks for looking at it
check queen bg5..... f6? check king and castle kxf6...gxk....discver the bishop in f6 or h6 and check in g7............if he move the queen after b g5 .....same play ......knight sacrifice ofcourse but danger for black you also have the castle can work. but i am not high rating so take this like a suggestion..........or you could simply bh6 but after bd4 you are stocked and in problem whith the knight..........anyway suerte for the next
i understood zero of that sorry.
talking about your 29 th move .....you said how toconvert in a winning position ......bueno for me you should attack the queen and after maybe sacrifice the knight dipend from the move of your opponent......but if you dont understand maybe i am talking whith the wrong person......regards and suerte for the next tournament...........ciao
ok maybe is not clear but at 26 th move you take the pawthe pawn .....better bishopin h6.....opponent can do g6 or bishopin d4 or queen in f6..........after this you candecide ......if queen f6 you take the pawn....for the other two option you can think about but bishop d4 is not usual and g6 is the most obvious.....like this is more winning position ...because you put the opponenent in a choice a triple choice....and you have the move.........taking the pawn whith the knight obligate the changing of the caste your opponent have the move like this is not winning position.....and give bish....op in e5 why? regards again and suerte again
Ya i probably should have castled instead of pushing to d5, will do next time because i seemed to get a lot of criticism for that. My basic reasoning was I didn't want him to trade off his bad white bishop for my knight after he pins my queen.Thanks for the analysis lazychess, there were a bunch of helpful combo's you pointed out to me that would increase the pressure on him. 24.Bc3 would have been interesting to play
sorry for my allucination..........again suerte

Facts and Events
Lucy Walter or Lucy Barlow (c. 1630 – 1658) was a mistress of King Charles II of England and mother of James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth. She is believed to have been born in 1630 or a little later at Roch Castle near Haverfordwest, Wales into a family of middling gentry. The question of whether King Charles had secretly married Lucy Walter was raised during the Exclusion Crisis, when a Protestant faction wished to make her son the heir to the throne, while the king denied any marriage, and supported the claim of his brother, the Duke of York. Indeed, the question has persisted and is the subject of numerous non-fiction writers on the subject including, but not limited to G.D. Gilbert's Appendix A to Baronne Marie Catherine D'Aulnoy's "Memoirs of the Court of England in 1675". <edited by G.D. Gilbert,Kissinger Publishing's Rare Reprints, originally published 1913.> Most outstanding of these so-called straws are several surviving letters from Daniel O'Neil, Charles II and his mother and sister referring to her as wife and him as husband.< MacAll, Brat, "Brown, Beautiful and Bold: Review of Her Non-Fiction Literature with Questions", Kindle 2012, Createspace of Amazon,2013> [edit] Origins

Clock ticking for bushfire commission
Experts are questioning whether the Royal Commission into the Victorian bushfires will have sufficient time to examine all the evidence.
The Victorian Government has provided open-ended terms of reference for retired Supreme Court judge Bernard Teague, but it is asking for an interim report to be delivered before August.
Robert Heath, a crisis management expert from the University of South Australia, says the terms of reference are generous, but the timeframe is not.
"On one hand you are saying look at anything and everything, and on another hand you are saying get it done in the next 100 days," Mr Heath said.
"I think [the commission] can do its job properly, but it depends on what we expect properly to mean - how detailed?
"There lies a bit of a problem because if we have different expectations, then some of us, obviously, are going to get disappointed."
Simon Marks SC, who assisted in the Royal Commission into the Longford Gas Explosion, also says the time frame poses a challenge for the commission.
"Six months is, in my view, a short period of time for an interim report, but I think it is doable and I have no doubt that every effort will be undertaken to ensure that a meaningful interim report is published," Mr Marks said.
"I notice that there is opportunity for the Royal Commissioners to seek an extension of the time frame were they to need it.
"I have no doubt that were they to really feel that it was impossible to report in the time frame, they would seek the Government's assistance in that regard but I have no doubt they will endeavour to complete it within the time frame, having regard to its importance.
"I think it is ambitious, but I imagine it can be done."

The diagram below shows the key points to measure when calculating size, then simply select the correct size from the chart above. It's best to actually take body measurements rather than measuring over clothes. You shouldn't need to 'size up' or 'down' unless you have a particular fit preference of course.
Back to top
Keep your bra on and measure in inches around your ribcage directly under your bust.
This gives you the band or back size. When measuring, you should always round down! Your underband should be snug, e.g. If you achieve 29.5 ins then round down.
For example: your underband measurement is 29in then add 5 ins - you are a 34.
Now measure around the fullest part of your bust, the full bust measurement less underband = cup size. When measuring, you should always round up!
The over bust measurement should always be generous, e.g. If you achieve 34.5 ins then round up to 35 ins.
width - toes should have room to spread with no bulges at the shoes widest part.length - there should be half an inch (1.25cm) between the end of the shoe and the longest toe.
High leg boots that do not have any stretch material in them will not fit everyone. To find out whether boots will fit, use the calf measurement chart below.
In order to get the most precise measurement it's best to get someone to measure for you.

U.S. stocks skidded to their fourth loss in five weeks, as concerns about a splintering Europe and the slackening U.S. recovery prompted investors to flee risky assets.
The selling accelerated Friday after investors were reminded that neither the Atlantic nor our benevolent Federal Reserve can shield us from Europe's noisy drama. As Europe's recession deepened, U.S. employers slowed the pace of hiring and added just 69,000 jobs in May, the least in a year, and the unemployment rate ticked up to 8.2% (for more on this, see Economic Beat, "Jobs Data's Chilling Message"). By the closing bell, the Dow industrials had fallen into the red for the year, and crude oil and copper were plumbing fresh 2012 lows.
The alarm was even shriller in the bond market, where the lunge for safety drove the yield on 10-year Treasuries below 1.5%, a record. In Germany, yields on two-year bunds fell to zero, while its 30-year yield actually dipped below that of Japan. Just think: Investors are now willing to lend money for years to Washington or Berlin at no, or next to no, interest, even if factoring in inflation means that they'll take a loss.

Attention now turns to Greece's June 17 elections. Success by a pro-bailout coalition, with enough votes to stave off a default, could trigger a momentary relief rally. But any deviation from this script could fan the market's worst fears.
You'd think fresh bleeding from the tired, familiar scab that is Europe can't possibly shock or hurt much, but think again. Investors have been paring risk and are crouched in neutral, but most aren't bracing for a big setback. BofA Merrill Lynch's mid-May survey showed fewer global money managers expecting strong growth, and less than 10% saying that they're taking on above-average portfolio risk. Yet a recession isn't in their forecasts.
If Greece leaves the euro zone—which some on Wall Street deem unlikely but hardly impossible—banks could come under more pressure. Already, strategists estimate that a third of deposits have left Greek banks over three years. Unless the chain of events is arrested, banks in southern Europe might have to sell their government bonds to meet the outflow of deposits, pushing yields there even higher, notes Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial.
Last week, Credit Suisse nudged the odds of a Greek exit to 20% from 15%, but says there's just a 10% chance of a complete euro-zone breakup. JPMorgan pegged the odds of a Greek exit at 50%, but it thinks there's a less than 10% chance that this will lead to contagion in Spain and Italy.
Meanwhile, the brittle global recovery has increased calls everywhere for central banks to ride to the rescue. The scramble to shore up liquid assets lifted the buck to a two-year high against the euro, with the dollar index even higher today than in the summer of 2008, before our central bank embarked on its record bout of money printing. With markets shuddering in sync and the outcome in Europe hard to handicap, money managers would rather withdraw and wait. The result is a state of stasis, akin to paralysis.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended last week at 12119, a 2012 low, after losing 336 points, or 2.7%. The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 40 points, or 3%, to 1278. It has slumped 8.9% over the past five weeks and is up just 1.6% this year. The Nasdaq Composite lost 90 points, or 3.2%, and ended Friday at 2747, while the Russell 2000 fell 29 points, or 3.8%, to 737.
For all of May, losses totaled 6.2% for the Dow, 6.3% for the S&P 500, 7.2% for the Nasdaq, and 6.7% for the Russell.
GOLD'S REPUTATION AS A STORE of value has been burnished to a blinding gleam in this age of competitively depreciating paper currencies. So why is gold lately behaving more like a risky asset than a safe harbor?
Over the past year, gold prices have tended to spike or skid in lockstep with stocks and commodities—much more than with Treasuries. Stocks may have pulled back 10% since April 2, but that money hasn't gone toward gold, which is down 9% over the past three months.
Gold is still a compelling hedge against inflation in the long run. But since 2009, when central banks began printing reams of money to support their flailing economies, "investor enthusiasm has pushed the metal past fair value and into speculative territory," says Jack Ablin, Harris Private Bank's chief investment officer. "For that reason, gold appears to more closely resemble a risk asset, rather than a safe haven nowadays."
That guest-starring stint in the risky-asset soap opera won't end until the precious metal gets less out-of-whack with inflation expectations. Gold has far outgunned other commodities since 2008, and the ratio of gold prices relative to the CRB all-spot commodity index has leapt far ahead of year-over-year inflation. In the shorter term, the metal might have to trail other commodities to bring prices more in line with inflation, Ablin says.
Gold had also benefited from the surge in liquidity and emerging-market wealth, with demand especially rabid in India and China, so waning agricultural prices can thwart Asian hoarders.
Gold prices have repeatedly tested a key support level near $1,520 a troy ounce, notes Michael Shaoul, CEO of New York brokerage firm Oscar Gruss, and "our experience is that levels that are revisited time and again eventually give way."

The home-goods chain has defied expectations to rally 22% this year. Bed Bath had benefited from the downfall of rival Linens 'n Things, but investors have begun fretting about slowing growth, tougher comparisons and encroaching competition from Internet retailers.
When Bed Bath recently agreed to buy Cost Plus (CPWM) for $550 million, detractors took the acquisition—its largest to date—as a tacit admission that management had run out of ideas for growing the business.
Yet Cost Plus may prove to be money well spent, because Bed Bath has no debt and a cash pile equal to 11% of its stock-market value.
Cost Plus became profitable over the past two years after a string of annual losses, and the underappreciated discounter earns 60% of its sales from home furnishings, many of them private-label, and another 40% from consumables.
Analysts expect it to expand Bed Bath's food offering and merchandise sourcing. Its 260 stores are often smaller than Bed Bath's superstores, but their choice real estate could come in handy for expanding other Bed Bath businesses like Buy Buy Baby.
At about 71, Bed Bath shares fetch just 15 times projected profits—compared with their median of 17.5 times over the past decade. Credit Suisse recently nudged up its projected 2013 profits to $5.37 from $5.15 and applied a 17 times multiple to the stock to arrive at a price target of 91.
Bed Bath & Beyond, of course, isn't the only consumer stock to shine. Investors have been dumping energy and industrial issues hitched to global growth, but many still hope that our housing and jobs markets will continue to mend, and that Fed-coddled Americans will keep shopping, even as Europe burns.
As a result, consumer discretionary is the year's top sector, joining staples as the only groups to far surpass their prior bull-market peaks.

BalestrateBalestrate (approx. 5000 inhabitants) has not yet been overwhelmed by mass tourism, meaning you can still enjoy its typical Sicilian flair. Hospitality and friendliness to children are part of the way of life here. Sun, sea and kilometres of clean sandy beaches, some with child-friendly lidos all go to make up an unforgettable holiday experience. Balestrate is in close proximity to the motorway system (about 2 km away), meaning the most famous sights of Sicily are in easy reach (e.g. Palermo 25 minutes, Aetna about 3 hours). The bus and rail routes to such places as Taormina, Agricento, Segesta etc. are also ideal. Cycle and car hire are available locally. Since Balestrate lies in the proximity of the motorway (approx. 2 km removed), the most beautiful and most famous objects of interest can be achieved by Sicily shortly (e.g. Palermo 25 minutes, Ätna approx. 3 hour). In addition, bus and railway connections after e.g. Taormina, Agricento, Segesta etc. are ideal. Occupancy Calendar |

READ PEOPLE!Submitted by Franklin (not verified) on Thu, 08/13/2009 - 2:09pm.
Nowhere in any article did it say anything about these people murdering their baby. This is the US...innocent until proven guilty remember? Well the autopsy showed she had a miscarriage, meaning the fetus died before it was born. I agree it is a little twisted that they buried it in the back yard and that they obviously need some psychiatric help. No charges were filed, end of case!
