BY THOMAS SOWELL, Investor's Business Daily
This country is at a historic crossroads, and the path we choose can determine our future far beyond the next four years. Our children and grandchildren may someday bless us or curse us for what we do this Tuesday.
Against that background, it is painful to see the petty talking points and gross misconceptions that seem to dominate this year's election campaign.
Take the question of jobs. How many times have we heard about how many jobs have been added during the Obama administration? Yet few people bother to find out whether these are net additions to jobs — which is what is crucial.
The government can always increase some jobs, either directly by hiring more people or indirectly by policies that increase employment in particular industries or regions. But the real question is whether the government's actions create more jobs than they destroy — that is, whether there is any net addition to jobs.
Yet who in the media even asks that question? Instead, they focus on the unemployment rate. But people who have given up looking for a job are not counted as unemployed. The proportion of the working-age population that is not working is higher now than it has been in many years.
Another gross misconception on the job front is that jobs created during a given administration are a result of the policies of that administration, as are any other signs of economic recovery. But this assumes that the economy is incapable of recovering on its own, without government intervention.
Yet the American economy recovered from downturns on its own for more than a century and a half, until President Hoover intervened after the stock market crash of 1929. Indeed, this was one of those bipartisan interventions so much hoped for by the media — and the results were catastrophic.
The media misconception today is that what we need to speed up economic recovery is to end gridlock in Washington and have bipartisan intervention in the economy. However plausible that may sound, it is contradicted repeatedly by history.
Unemployment was never in double digits in any of the 12 months following the stock market crash of 1929. Only after politicians started intervening did unemployment reach double digits — and stay in double digits throughout the 1930s.
There is nothing mysterious about an economy recovering on its own. Employers usually have incentives to employ and workers have incentives to look for jobs. Lenders have incentives to lend and borrowers have incentives to borrow — if politicians do not create needless complications and uncertainties.
With Ted Cruz announcing and Rand Paul and Marco Rubio soon to follow, it's time to start handicapping the horses and making enemies. No point in wasting time on the Democratic field. There is none. The only thing that can stop Hillary Clinton is an act of God, and he seems otherwise occupied. As ...
Every day the Chinese go to work, Americans get a raise: Chinese workers, many earning each day about what Americans spend on a Starbucks latte, produce apparel, appliances and other stuff cheaply, enlarging Americans' disposable income. Americans similarly get a raise when they shop at the stores ...
Hillary Clinton's expected presidential run is being hailed as a chance to shatter the glass ceiling. That, of course, is nonsense. Hillary rose to power solely on her husband's sleazy coattails. She's not self-made. And it shows. The recent email scandal is the latest in a lifelong pattern of ...
It is amazing how a simple question can cause a complex lie to collapse like a house of cards. The simple question was asked by Bill O'Reilly of Fox News, and it was addressed to two Democrats. He asked what has Hillary Clinton ever accomplished. The two Democrats immediately sidestepped the ...
Don't just rely on Benjamin Netanyahu's passionate advice to Congress on his way to re-election that Iran is our archenemy. Now we have the counsel of retired Gen. David Petraeus, who gave a remarkable interview this week to the Washington Post. Petraeus agrees with Netanyahu: Iran, not the Islamic ...


text: America, you're doing it right! And proving so many wrong. Worry that the majority of TV audiences simply wanted to watch dancing C-list celebrities and Ashton Kutcher explaining why he got a haircut on Two and a Half Men (that's what happens on that show, right?) is starting to subside. It's now clear that if you build an understated, American epic, they will come.

You can get something in a similar mood with Lineto, but
their fonts seems to be quite expensive (or not?). Links to

I'm am not digitalizing the letters. Marcelinho , a friend from fau, reconstructed the letters based on a photo for the logo of his studio, named "estudio 6" and he asked me what font was that.
It may be an interesting idea to digitalize it don`t you think?
Yeah, it's a nice lettering, except for "e" and "s", that seems
odd to me. I wouldn't attempt to make an exact revival of
that, but it is inspiring indeed. :-)

Once upon a time, there was a girl who lived in a village by the sea. She loved piano, books, trees, fish, and extravagant hats. She had a romance with Beethoven and Chopin. She had tea-time daily with the Bronte sisters. She also had a strong friendship with Emily Dickinson and William Shakespeare. But what is this past tense? She still lives!
And her name is Fiona-Mae.

Come, dear friend, it's night now; all the world is fast asleep. Come! Let's run away, Far to the shores and deep.
How Dare You Imprison God?

The Dreadful Truth
I looked in the mirror And a reflection gazed back. It was me. But not the way I saw myself -
A Psalm
Sometimes I lay under the sun and believe that there could be nothing more powerful. Sometimes I look out to the ocean, and believe that there could be nothing more vast. But then I think of the Hand that gave heat to the sun and the brush that painted the sea, And I believe, "Truly, what is there greater than He who holds all of the universe fast? "
Haiku To A Stranger
Waiting in line at the groceries, You're in the aisle just next to mine.
Can You Promise?
Can you promise that I will be remembered? That the world will shed a tear When it realizes there's no more Fiona, That she no longer lives here?
In The Land Beyond The Sun
When the time comes that I vanish, Remember me when I am gone. When my footprints fade away To the land beyond the sun.
~Eulogy To The Pines~
You will be missed. Your rough red skin peeling Like the many tourists who enjoyed your shade.
The Stone of The Wailing Wall
It warms to the touch like a loved one, Like a friend one has not seen in years. Pressing one's face into its surface The stone comes to life,
The Love Affair
I sat in my room, cold and bleak, The light within grew grey and weak. I stood to open the door, just a peek, And I had a love affair.
Wild Horses
Their swift feet which carry them far away Into places unimaginable to man. Their manes flow in the breath of Wind Who sweeps them up in his vast wingspan.
Piano Lessons
I finish the piece. You smile and nod. "Beautiful." I doubt it. "But…? "

It really is a sorry situation To live in New York without the means. But if you've got the gift an imagination like mine… By Jove, the luxuries swell and teem!

I want us – and only us.
Whatever else, together, we'll find.
I want to be where no one ...

Can't get blooms
I grow a lot of tropical plant outside in summer (full sun) and winter them under a high intensity light in my basement. Some have not bloomed since the first year I got them (Podranea) some very late in the summer (Duranta, Brugmansia - no buds yet), some have never bloomed ((Solanum rantonnetti, Mirabilis longiflora). This year I cut back on fertilizer - 1/4 tsp 20-20-20 per gallon of water alternating with plain water. No difference. Some other things bloom extravagantly. All are somewhat pot-bound. Any ideas?
This post was edited by timed on Wed, Sep 11, 13 at 11:13
You can leave mirabilis longiflora outdoors in your climate, if you want. I have one in the ground here in zone 5 which blooms pretty profusely every year.
I know what you mean about potted tropicals not blooming, though, since I have plenty of those too. The one annoying me most at the moment is a two-year-old streptosolen which looks very healthy but has never performed.
I'm not sure the Brugmansia can go in a larger pot. About 20 inches or more now. I need a hand truck to get it to the basement! The others are in fairly large pots too but the profuse vegetative growth requires water every day or they wilt. What about root pruning? Remember Thalassa Cruso?
"What about root pruning?"
Absolutely, speaking generally for container plants, I don't know Brugs well. (They are hardy here though I did try to keep a couple of cuttings in a pot last winter, trying to save about-to-be-frostbitten pieces by making new plants from them.)
Root pruning should be part of almost any repot. Also usually the only way to remove the old soil. And I totally agree, at a certain point, the pot is as big as it's going to get for a certain plant. If roots have run out of room to grow, the whole plant will suffer. Trimming the roots allows space for them to grow anew, and most plants respond with a growth spurt.
Sometimes it's also necessary to prune above the soil a bit to keep things at a manageable size/shape. That would also result in a more bushy appearance, if that would appeal to you. For example, removing the leaves along the main stem/trunk would result in new branches starting to grow where they were.
Could you be seeing stress wilt in the afternoon/evening? Some plants that do not need a drink can wilt at that time of day, yet be perfectly perky and fine the next morning. When these plants are given a drink in the afternoon, it would usually do more harm than good. (Although by the end of a hot afternoon, a severely pot bound plant could definitely be genuinely very dry.) Checking in the mornings can prevent this mistake.
I would be more inclined to believe the plants really do need water that often if the pot is packed with roots. That would mean there's very little 'soil' left to hold moisture for a longer period. If the soil is all or mostly peat, which can become hard as a rock and hydrophobic (unable to accept moisture,) it could be that water isn't penetrating the center of the pot/root ball at all. To find out, water as usual. Ten minutes later, water again. If a lot more water soaks in the 2nd time, you know the soil/pot is hydrophobic. Not good, now the roots have tons of moisture, but no air. Roots need tiny air pockets to stay healthy to obtain oxygen and have somewhere to physically grow into. Needing to water every few days is great from the plants' standpoint, but not if it's because the pot is slam-full of roots. It should be because the soil mix is more chunky, porous, and just doesn't hold excess moisture.
Back to the potted ones kept inside last winter... By the time they went back in the ground, the above-ground parts had died back to the surface, and the pots (about 1 1/2 gallon) were full of roots and at the bottom, they were in a tight strangle of death-spiral/circle. Anytime I've ever unpotted a plant like that, it wasn't doing well and I was checking to see why... These plants had gone from cuttings in October to no more room for roots to grow by April. There wasn't much going on above, but those roots were busy, and took up all of that space that quickly. When put in the ground, (after trimming that "pad" of circled roots from the...

Opinion: Heart of Midtown threatened by widening of I-94
Tommy O'Flynn
Tuesday, June 18, 2013

Transit-Oriented Development
In two days, the Southeastern Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) will be voting on its
Regional Transportation Plan
that includes a $2.7 Billion MDOT-sponsored project to widen I-94 through the heart of Midtown Detroit.
The expressway, which already provides a substantial barrier to economic development in New Center, would be widened from six lanes to 10. In addition, a two-lane continuous service drive would be added in each direction. In total, the expressway would grow from six lanes to 14 lanes in width.
While this may enable more cars to drive straight through Detroit, it actually makes it more difficult for Detroiters to get around. In total, eleven freeway crossings will be demolished and not replaced as part of this project. Examples of the crossings to be removed include the
Third Street bridge over I-94
, the John R bridge over I-94, and the Canfield pedestrian bridge that crosses M-10 near the I-94 interchange. Building a bridge across a wide expressway can be very expensive, and it appears MDOT has decided that maintaining the mobility of Detroiters did not justify the cost of replacing the bridges slated for demolition. This is especially interesting, as the $2.7 Billion dollar price of this project would seem to imply that no expense had been spared.
's proposed Regional Transportation Plan also includes a plan to widen I-75 through Oakland County. The combined cost of the I-94 and I-75 expansion projects is projected to be $4 Billion.
Just imagine what else could be done with $4 Billion:
The region could fund nearly 100 miles of light rail, dwarfing the $140 Million, 3.3 mile,
M1-light rail project
currently under development. That is enough track to build a line from Ann Arbor to Detroit and then to Flint.
We could fund the
$500 Million Bus Rapid Transit
system proposed by Gov. Snyder and then take the remaining $3.5 Billion and purchase a moped for each of the 4.7 Million people who live in the seven counties represented by SEMCOG.
We could invest in projects to minimize the impact of expressways on our cities. We could add freeway crossings rather than removing them. We could bury the portion of I-75 on either side of Woodward, finally uniting the energy of Downtown and Midtown. We could also dig up
and turn it into a surface road as a number of downtown business leaders have already proposed.
We could restore the $7 Million that SEMCOG recently cut from the DDOT Bus Service's annual budget. For the next 570 years.
During the State of the State address this year, Gov. Snyder made a very compelling case for why Michigan cannot wait to fix our crumbling roads and transportation infrastructure. The Governor went so far as to advocate for raising the gasoline tax to generate the funds required for repairing the extensive freeway system that already exists. In a climate of crumbling roads, unsafe bridges and utter lack of mass transit, I question why many of our leaders have still not come out against the I-94 expansion and other similar projects.
At a time when Michigan's roads are crumbling, why would we invest in additional freeway capacity? Detroit's population has fallen substantially since 1994 when this project was initially conceived. New freeway capacity is not needed or being requested by the city's residents. Even if the proposed widening would reduce congestion (which is debatable due to induced demand), a 2013 SEMCOG survey has demonstrated that the region's residents would prefer not to spend more to reduce traffic.
Not only is the I-94 expansion project an extraordinary misuse of taxpayer money, it also threatens the livability of Midtown, one of the great success stories of Detroit's comeback. Midtown residents – myself included – are attracted to a walkable environment where we can get to work, buy groceries, and go out without needing to use a car.
Watch this
video created by MDOT to get a picture of the plan;
here is a MDOT presentation in 2010 that shows
lane cross sections at various locations;
a page of a June 11 draft of Regional Transportation Plan gives
project cost information about I-94 and I-75
; and, finally, here is
some general information about the project
Editor's note: Read more about the plan in
Mode Shift - Move Together
, a media partner of Model D.
In my experience managing rental real estate in Midtown – a market where residential vacancy rates have plunged to below 5 percent – I can also tell you that massive freeways are not consistent with what new residents are seeking.
Please join me in spreading the word about these freeway expansion projects to your friends, family and elected representatives. SEMCOG's meeting to vote on the Regional Transportation Plan will be held at 4:30 p.m. this
Thursday, June 20
at the Atheneum Suite Hotel in Greektown. Public comments will be heard before the vote and there will be a rally in opposition to this project beginning at 3 p.m. outside of the hotel.
Tommy O'Flynn lives, works and walks his dog in Midtown. He is a resident of the Fourth Street neighborhood, one of several stable neighborhoods threatened by the I-94 expansion. Tommy also develops real estate in Midtown on either side of I-94 and is in the process of finishing up an MBA degree at the UM Ross School of Business with a focus on real estate development.

Weber grills at Sports Authority
dwagnerJuly 25, 2002
To my surprise I saw Weber grills at Sports Authority tonight. Silver B for $399 (with porcelein grates). I felt fortunate to find a Silver B deluxe (SS grates, extra fold-down shelf on tank side and metalflake paint on hood) last year for $429. but the Sports Authority price was the best I've seen not on clearance.
I understand that Weber won't let bigger dealers discount the grills. The smaller dealers can sometimes get away with it with end of the year stock without getting in trouble.

Russia in East Asia: History, Migration, and Contemporary Policy
May 05, 2014 // 9:00am — 11:00am
Kennan Institute
This talk explores Russia's ties with East Asia through the lens of migration and policy. Russia spans the Eurasian continent, yet its historic and present connections with East Asia are often forgotten. At the turn of the 20th century, thousands of Asian migrants arrived in the Russian Far East, spurring fears of a "yellow peril." A century later, the recent influx of new Asian migrants to Russia has generated similar sentiments. The talk discusses Asian migration in the context of cross-regional attempts to strengthen trade ties and diplomatic relations in the 21st century.
An Unwanted Visionary: Gorbachev's Unrealized Ambitions and the Soviets' Retreat from Asia
March 31, 2014 // 4:00pm — 5:30pm
History and Public Policy Program
Radchenko will offer a fresh interpretation of Mikhail Gorbachev's foreign policy by showing how the Soviet leader tried to reshape the international order through engagement with China and India, and why his vision for a Soviet-led Asia ultimately failed. Relying on newly declassified records from Russian, Chinese and other archives, he will discuss lost opportunities and recount painful legacies of Soviet retrenchment from Asia.
Cancelled--Then and Now
March 03, 2014 // 4:00pm — 5:00pm
Kennan Institute

Communism on Tomorrow Street: Mass Housing and Everyday Life after Stalin
May 20, 2013 // 12:00pm — 1:00pm
Kennan Institute
This book examines how, beginning under Khrushchev in 1953, a generation of Soviet citizens moved from the overcrowded communal dwellings of the Stalin era to modern single-family apartments, later dubbed khrushchevka. Arguing that moving to a separate apartment allowed ordinary urban dwellers to experience Khrushchev's thaw, Steven E. Harris fundamentally shifts interpretation of the thaw, conventionally understood as an elite phenomenon.

Azaleas at National Arb threatened with destruction!
Most of you who live in DC, Maryland, or Virginia have visited the National Arboretum (and if you haven't, you really should). Every spring, the azalea collection explodes with flowers, particularly on the hillside planted many decades ago with the original test plants for many Glenn Dale cultivars. After many years of neglect, this area and the rest of the azalea collection have been expertly renovated, documented, and augmented with companion plants and many other deciduous and evergreen azaleas. I won't go into gory details here (see links given below for excellent summaries of the supposed rationale for this plan as well as the arguments against it), but the powers-that-be have decided not only to destroy this precious resource but also to "decommission" the national boxwood and perennial collections, including the daylilies that brighten up the doldrums of summer.
To avert this disaster, everyone is urged to write to your congressional representatives as well as the administrators listed in the websites below. If you have been among the thousands of visitors that flock to see the azalea show in spring, to enjoy the other threatened collections at the Arb, or you simply agree with the need to maintain these irreplaceable national treasures (your tax dollars at work!), PLEASE help by making your voice heard where it counts. Thank you for listening!
The full story, and contact information for responsible officials, are given in the following links:

8AAA baseball: Early miscues cost Alex in quarterfinals
Alexandria baseball coach Russ Hinrichs said on Monday that he thought coming into the season that St. Cloud Tech would be one of the best teams in Section 8AAA.
The Tigers were up and down throughout the regular season, entering the playoffs as a six seed with a 12-7 record. They proved in the section quarterfinals that they are too good of a team to not play sharp against.

help with native shrubs for wet areas
i would like to plant a shrub border on a 3 to 4 foot deep slope/swale next to a small intermittent stream. The soil would have good drainage because of the slope, but it is an acidic, clay/silt soil with average fertility. The swale might flood once or twice a year after a lot of rain as the stream overflows. The area gets full sun. i'm thinking of planting the following:
Sambucus canadensis
Viburnum trilobum
Aronia arbutifolia
Aronia melanocarpa
Ilex verticillata
Lindera benzoin
Cephalanthus occidentalis
Hibiscus moscheutos
Will they do well in these kinds of conditions? i'm also hoping that i can keep them relatively small - ideally 5 feet tall. Can they be pruned to this size without sacrificing flowering/fruiting? i know some of these can get really big and will sucker. i am also planning to use these other smaller shrubs in the border:
Rosa virginiana
Clethra alnifolia
Myrica gale
Kalmia angustifolia
Anyone have experience with any of these? Thanks for your help.
Certainly the first group can handle moist/wet conditions. Not sure about keeping them 5 feet. Many of these provide good berries for native birds but in order to keep them smaller and still flower, you'd have to prune them after flowering which would prevent fruit formation. Perhaps pruning them in cycles would help (one shrub one year then a different one the next, then the next). Coppicing might be an option.
Here is a link that might be useful: Coppicing
These are excellent choices for your streamside. However, Aronia melanocarpa isn't really a wetland shrub -- I would recommend planting it well above the stream. Also, I'm not sure about the wet tolerance of Rosa virginiana. You could consider Rosa palustris instead -- though it is larger than virginiana. Another idea: Rhododendron viscosum, which doesn't offer berries, but it's beautiful and fragrant.
As for pruning, some shrubs can be kept smaller if, every year, you cut out a few of the oldest and tallest stems. This works with Ilex verticillata, for example, and I suspect it would also work for the Aronia, Cephalanthus, and Viburnum. The Sambuccus will, I think, be hard to keep down to 5 feet, because it wants to be a good deal larger, and it's fast-growing.
You could also choose cultivars that will stay small. Dwarf cultivars exist for Aronia arbutifolia, Ilex verticillata, and Viburnum trilobum (I think). The disadvantage, of course, is reduced genetic diversity.
Esh_ga, Janet, thanks for the responses.
Esh, i was hoping that i might be able to prune a little from each shrub every year - removing some of the taller, older growth to the ground and hoping that new shoots would appear that year. i guess that's like coppicing except that i wasn't thinking of taking all growth to the ground. Will these shrubs put out 8 or more feet of growth in a single growing season in the northeast US?
Janet, i am planning to use dwarfish cultivars if i can find them, like I. verticillata 'Red Sprite' and V. trilobum 'Compactum'. i also like R. viscosum but thought it might not do well in clay/silt soil in full sun. i really wish there were more cultivars of these shrubs to choose from.
Thanks for your help.
Just anecdotally speaking, I normally observe lindera benzoin in not particularly wet areas but since your area will only be intermittently flooded I bet it will work. Sambucus volunteers in my wet areas. Red osier dogwood and silky dogwood are possibilities in wet areas. Various willow species (salix species) should like it wet and can probably handle a hard pruning. A year or two ago I planted some Ilex Verticillata in an area that is almost constantly wet and they are still alive. Not sure about your height requirements although I do remember there is a dwarf version of the red osier dogwood that is commercially available.
Bob, thanks for the response. i'm leaning towards giving these shrubs a try and see how they do with different pruning strategies to keep them somewhat manageable. i had originally thought that if i don't like them or they don't work well, i can shovel prune them and insert something different. But now, i'm wondering what i'll do if they do too well and i can't keep them under some control. i'll check out the salix and cornus too. Thanks.
You might be able to root the willow and dogwood cuttings for future plantings or to give to like-minded friends. My willows are from dormant stakes that I purchased commercially and then hammered into the soil. A few companies sell such things as "bioengineering" materials.

Endurance, i guess you meant lasting through 3 periods, well Dp gets pulled as much as Luongo
Durability is definitley Luongo, because DP takes too many stupid risks, but if you think that that is most important and that DP cant be stopped from roaming around and thus getting more chances than Luongo to get hurt. That the coaches or he cant stop from leaving his crease so much, then you are plain wrong.
oh and i never said it was a more important skill or should be weighted more, get off of that idea
oh boy, he wont this year?!?!?you got me
Oh no i misspelled!!!I hve no knwleddge of goaltendiers becase i cant spell. Maybe its because i dont have the chance sometimes to proof read all my posts. Could it be? You know what speelling has nothing to do with watching goalies. Zero zilch nada (they are from different parts of the brain.
Wow you show other posters some great ways to Becoming a Homer. And Broduer is way better than all of them, then comes Queen(Lundqvist) and those 3. You must watch a lot
of Eastern conference games
Eklands sorse, you use #;s like they mean more, well guess what they mean ****,
1-Different team from 2 years ago, better defense?!?!
2-maybe he hit a hot streak and shutout them a few times
3-could it be that Dallas went cold
4-didnt have a offensive team
too many varibles lead to a goalies numbers especially in a finite seris that only lasts at tops 7 games. Good try tho
yeah the Canucks never had good players to help Luongo
the Sedins
