On The Florida Roundup: Saturday marks the third anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti. How has it affected us in South Florida, home to the nation's largest Haitian diaspora? We take your calls on what you have seen in Haiti and what responsibility we have to this country less than 700 miles away. Why has development been so slow after so many promises?

Aloe pillansii, dichotoma & plicatilis
juleclmns(Europe 7)August 8, 2009
I´m from Germany and I´m looking for seedlings, plants or cuttings from Aloe pillansii, dichotoma & plicatilis. Special from Aloe pillansii. I have to give up different types of Pachypodium, Adenium & Crassula.
Your going to struggle to get Pillansii.Aloe dichotoma and Plicatilis grow very easily from seed.Maybe you should think of ordering seed from here in South Africa.There are two very good "seed nurseries" whom I frequently buy good quality seed from.Aloe pillansii is endangered ,so I dont know if it would be legal to send you a plant.But it is beautiful.If you like the trees aloes also think about Aloe ramossisima,but Plicatilis is by far my favourite.

Pics of rainy day heucheras
jeremywalshMay 27, 2012
Some pics around the yard of my heucheras after some much needed rain. Help with the NOID's if possible is appreciated. Thanks!
Heucherella Sweet Tea
This one was labeled Autumn Leaves, but I am not sure if that is right or not.
tepelus(6a SW MI)
Your Autumn Leaves I think is actually Heucherella Brass Lanterns. It certainly looks like mine. Your NOID may be Frosted Violet, but I'm less sure of that one than I am of the heucherella.

"Multicultural Student Expo" is a student organization fair for first year African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino and Native American students. During the program, first year students have an opportunity to meet upper class students, learn about multicultural student organizations, and meet other members of their graduating class.
2014 Multicultural Student Expo
Fun, talent, information and laughs were just a few of the things shared during the first Ohio University Multicultural Student Expo on Thursday, Aug. 28.
The event, which was hosted by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, attracted more than 700 multicultural students, faculty and staff to the Baker University Center Ballroom.

The theme of the evening was "Nyansapo," or the "wisdom knot" in the Twi language, which is commonly spoken by a section of people in the West African country of Ghana.
Winsome Chunnu-Brayda said in the spirit of "Nyansapo" it is hoped that the wisdom that the students gained at the Expo will guide them through their academic journey at Ohio University.
"This event was a wonderful opportunity to reach out to current and potential Patton College students," said Kelly Davidson, an academic counselor in the Patton College of Education. "We were able to plant a seed with the undecided students. I think overall the event was a huge success. Now we just need to build on this year's momentum and take it to a higher level next year."
One student said that she and one of the student organizations that she's involved with took advantage of the event's numerous information tables.
"I liked the fact that my organization, Athens Black Contemporary Dancers, gained about 20 new members tonight," said sophomore Raven Reid. "I even joined two new organizations myself."

Throughout the evening, attendees enjoyed music, food, prizes and a black Greek fraternity and sorority stroll competition. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority won the first-prize trophy for its performance during the contest. Student organization Anointed Praise opened the entertainment portion of the evening with a spirited rendition of the popular Negro spiritual "Ride on King Jesus."
The Athens Wal-Mart hosted a table at the event that included information about jobs and internships that are available to the students. The store also gave away four gift cards worth a total of $300 to four first-year students via a raffle.

Chunnu-Brayda, associate director of multicultural programs and a member of the Diversity and Inclusion sponsored committee that organized the event, said the evening went really well.
"The large turnout of students was encouraging and I have to give credit to Dr. [Shari] Clarke, the vice provost for diversity and inclusion, for her vision for this event and arranging for Wal-Mart to serve as a corporate sponsor," Chunnu-Brayda said. "We're excited because this is the first year we had the Greek stroll competition and other performances and we see that those things kept the students here throughout the evening."

Former Oklahoma Gov. and U.S. Sen. David Boren threw his support and credibility Tuesday behind a bipartisan presidential ticket that could challenge both parties.
Group files petitions to get bipartisan ticket on Oklahoma ballot
Boren, who served as governor for four years before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 1978, said dissatisfaction with America's political system and recognition that the country is in severe trouble led him to get involved with the effort by Americans Elect, a nonprofit group that in June will hold the first-ever nominating convention to select a president-and-vice president ticket.
"The system needs shock therapy," Boren said. "The two parties are just fighting, they're not working together to serve the country. I believe in the two-party system, but I believe it needs some temporary shock therapy, not starting a permanent third party."
Boren made it clear his support of the group was as a private citizen and not on behalf of the University of Oklahoma where he serves as president.
Boren, who resigned in 1994 from the Senate to lead OU, showed up with members of Americans Elect to deliver about 90,000 signatures of Oklahomans to the state Election Board.
Organizers, who said they obtained signatures from registered voters in each of the state's 77 counties, were required to get 51,739 signatures in order to get their candidates placed on the state's Nov. 6 general election ballot.
"Those who signed this petition are sending a message to Democrats and Republicans alike — stop wasting precious time fighting with each other and start working together to solve our problems," Boren said.
State Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax said his office has 30 days to determine the sufficiency of the petitions.
If enough signatures are on the petitions, the petitions will be sent to county election boards, which will compare the signatures with voter registration records.
If the petitions contain a sufficient number of valid signatures of registered voters, the Americans Elect party would be recognized and its ticket would be placed on the November ballot.
Boren said he would wait to see who is selected to the Americans Elect ticket.
Boren, who signed the petition to put the Americans Elect ticket on Oklahoma's ballot, said he continues to serve as co-chairman of President Barack Obama's intelligence advisory board. He said Obama has enjoyed success in national security, and he emphasized his working with the Americans Elect group is not meant as a criticism of the president.

Where are the best places to work?
Thirty-seven companies were honored by the Business Journal for being outstanding places to work. Look through the slideshow to see more about what makes these places so great.Tia Gemmell | Riverview Media Photography
Micro, winner: Folsom Asset Management Inc.
Description: A local private equity and asset management company that specializes in purchasing, rehabbing and reselling residential homes
Employees: 10 full-time equivalents
Define the perfect workplace: "For our team the perfect workplace is truly a family. We understand each other's strengths, give each other grace, and try to infuse a sense of humor into our everyday. We all know that work is only a part of our lives and that balance is essential to happiness. Overall we all respect the individuals that we are." -- Amanda Blackwood, chief financial officerNoel Neuburger | Sacramento Business Journal
Second place, micro: Closed Loop Inc.
Description: An optimization agency that makes online interfaces easier to use, more effective and more profitable for users
Employees: 17
Biggest mistake an owner/manager can make: "Treating employees like perishable commodities instead of long-term investments. Excessive employer cheapness is a pet peeve of mine. If you're fortunate enough to build a successful business, I believe everyone wins if you share that success with the people who helped you attain it. There's no spreadsheet model to support it, but I believe generosity comes back to you." -- Lance Loveday, CEONoel Neuburger | Sacramento Business Journal
Third place, micro: 3fold Communications
Description: A boutique marketing agency that provides public relations, strategic communications, media buying, social media and design services
Employees: 16
Most important workplace dynamic: "That what we work together for is to hold a strong sense of purpose as a team centered around a vision for the future. At 3fold, we're focused on being a contributing member of our community where we work, live and play. As such, our team serves on over 25 nonprofit boards and advisory committees. We foster a sense of teamwork through monthly potlucks, outings and casual get-togethers. We also provide healthy eating options for breakfast and lunch. And, beer on tap." -- Gordon Fowler, presidentDennis McCoy | Sacramento Business Journal
Winner, small companies: DesCor Builders
Description: A licensed general contractor that provides full-service preconstruction, general contracting and construction management services throughout Northern California
Employees: 34
Define the perfect workplace: "We believe that there is no such thing as a perfect workplace because we are always striving to improve and adapt to the needs of our people. However, we do define an A+ workplace as a company that cares more for their employees for who they are than what they do; focusing on the 'quality of life' of their people. An A+ employer creates an environment for their teammates to succeed by using their talents and skills, while enjoying what they do and who they work with." -- Brad Des Jardin, founderNoel Neuburger | Sacramento Business Journal
Second place, small companies: Robert W. Baird & Co. Description: An employee-owned, international financial services company
Local employees: 45 total employees: 2,925
Most important workplace dynamic: "To create a work environment where associates are encouraged to succeed and given the resources to do so. Baird offers many personal and professional development programs, including tuition reimbursement, leadership development courses, community service opportunities, and two paid days off each year for volunteer work. We also have a 'no-jerk' policy to ensure we hire quality people." -- Mike Ankrim, Sacramento branch managerunknown
Third place, small companies: Owen-Dunn Insurance Services
Description: Independent insurance agency specializing in employee benefits programs, including health care and human resource management
Employees: 44
Biggest mistake an owner/manager can make: "To forget that everyone has a life outside of work, a life that is more important than the work we do. Work needs to be a source of energy that helps empower us to do great things with our life." -- Owen Taylor, principalDennis McCoy | Sacramento Business Journal
Winner, medium companies: Paradies
Description: Atlanta-based company that operates retail stores and food services in airports and hotels throughout the U.S. and Canada
Local employees: 85 (includes full and part-time) Total employees companywide: More than 3,900 Define the perfect workplace: "A workplace where employees are respected, enjoy coming to work, have access to new learning/ training opportunities, celebrate as a team, form a strong bond as a family and are rewarded for their achievements and success." -- Diwan Chand, human resources managerDennis McCoy | Sacramento Business Journal
Second place, medium companies: Western Health Advantage
Description: Not-for-profit health plan created by three hospital systems for local business owners and individuals
Employees: 117
Most important workplace culture: "Western Health Advantage has fostered a culture of giving back by supporting our employees' volunteer activities. WHA employees donate more than 2,000 volunteer hours serving on boards, working in schools and supporting local nonprofit organizations in a wide variety of ways." -- Nora Bruce, marketing managerDennis McCoy | Sacramento Business Journal
Third place, medium companies: Runyon Saltzman & Einhorn Inc.
Description: An integrated communications agency
Employees: 62
Biggest mistake an owner/manager can make: "Not frequently and directly expressing appreciation of the work done by employees. I don't think one should make insincere or perfunctory comments. But it is very important to acknowledge employees with verbal or written praise when it is deserved in addition to giving them raises, bonuses etc." -- Chris Holben, presidentDennis McCoy | Sacramento Business Journal
Winner, large companies: Hyatt Regency Sacramento
Description: Downtown luxury hotel with 503 rooms and 27,000 square feet of flexible meeting space
Local employees: 324, including full-time, part-time and on-call workers

Second place, large companies: McCarthy Building Cos. Inc.
Description: A construction company offering preconstruction, project management, risk management safety and legal services
Local employees: 217. Total employees: 1,722
Most important workplace dynamic: "As a company, McCarthy's biggest feature or perk is employee ownership. We are a 100 percent employee-owned company. Employees have a vested interest in working together to improve the value of the company and are rewarded for that effort." -- Ryan Heeter, senior vice president of operationsNoel Neuburger | Sacramento Business Journal
Third place, large companies: Paramount Equity
Description: Residential mortgage banking company
Local employees: 458. Total employees: 492
Biggest mistake an owner/manager can make: "To put their own interests ahead of their teams. Instead, they should lead by example and provide all the tools their team needs to excel." -- Matt Dawson, presidentNoel Neuburger | Sacramento Business Journal

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 28, 2013
Explore Talent created a new page where talent agents and casting directors have written testimonials about working with the talent site. Anyone looking for talent can fill out the information for their upcoming project, and Explore Talent will publish it on their site.
"Exploretalent.com allows me to contact talented performers directly with a click of a button, literally saving me thousands of dollars that I would have to pay a Casting Director to get the word out about my production's casting calls, which is an invaluable resource for a non-profit organization such as mine," states Gregory, a producer of "Live from Midtown" Documentary Series.
"I believe Explore Talent treats every Casting Director with the same respect, regardless of the budget. Best of all, several OTR staff & cast members are resident actors still working with us after 3 years from Explore Talent.com," wrote Michael Harding, CEO of OTR Theater Company.

Paying the price for centuries of contempt March 27, 2015Posted by WorldbyStorm in British Politics, European Politics, Irish Politics, Northern Ireland, Scottish Politics, The Left, Wales.
6 comments
It's not necessarily coming, as they say, from a place of love. More like a place of snark, but this is a great line from Simon Jenkins in the Guardian when discussing the shape of the next British Parliament.
British politics is paying the price for centuries of English contempt for the political aspirations of the Irish, Scots and Welsh.
Ain't that the truth.
Throughout the 19th century Tory (and some Liberal) opposition to even moderate home rule for the "other British empire" ensured a more drastic separatism would eventually triumph.
Actually his line is intriguing because he argues that with SNP support a Labour government is more or less inevitable. Well, we'll see.
He makes another point, one which given the way in which unionism looms large in the political consciousness is perhaps sometimes forgotten on this part of the island
The lesson of separatism across Europe is the same. For restless Ukrainians, Slovenians, Kosovans, Slovakians, Basques and Catalans, regional autonomy is not a passing fad, to be bought off with a few powers and subsidies. It is a visceral response to the arrogance of centralised power. It is the response that many Britons profess towards the overbearing power of Brussels; yet few in Westminster see themselves as the EU of Great Britain.

Mario Draghi had words for the protestors outside the new ECB headquarters this evening:
"European unity is being strained," he said.
"People are going through very difficult times. There are some, like many of the protesters outside today, who believe the problem is that Europe is doing too little.
"But the euro area is not a political union of the sort where some countries permanently pay for others," he said.
"It has always been understood that countries have to be able to stand on their own two feet – that each is responsible for its own policies. The fact that some had to go through a difficult period of adjustment was therefore not a choice that was imposed on them. It was a consequence of their past decisions."
Past decisions? Really? Would these be decisions (and by the by who made them?) as regards deregulation, the financial sector, low taxes? And would these decisions have been of a nature that the…er… ECB, and IMF and OECD cheerled them? Sure looks like it, for as noted on this site in 2011, the unlikely figure of John Bruton noted:
in a speech to the LSE last month that the ECB didn't attempt to utilize powers it has under article 14 of its statue to instruct our Central Bank to engage with the 'fiscal and macroeconomic risks related to the property boom in Ireland'.
There's more evidence of such lack of intervention, but why would I want to spoil the ECB's special day? Any further.

A telling criticism from the SBP editorial on the government approach in relation to Greece.
The Irish government is a bit-player in all of this drama, but has a seat at the table. Its approach so far has been to follow the rhetorical line set by the creditor countries. Taoiseach Enda Kenny and finance minister Michael Noonan have urged Greece to follow Ireland's example of negotiating incremental concessions to the bailout agreement over time in the hope of reducing the pain of the implementing austerity.
The SBP disagrees:
This is a mistake. To show solidarity to weaker countries is the essence of the European ideal. Many countries seem to have forgotten that. As a former bailout economy and the fastest growing in the eurozone this year, Ireland should offer support and encouragement.
And it makes a broader point, which is also often forgotten.
Instead the line from Dublin has been that Athens must honour its debts fully as Ireland has done. Athens' interests are Dublin's, in the long run. The Greek crisis has the potential to endanger the European project. Anything Dublin can do to help solve this will only be to the common good.
Things are stableish across Europe at the moment, but that's not guaranteed, and more importantly this crisis is going to be followed by future crises. Dublin's reticence, no – actually what is an aversion – to engaging positively and supportively in relation to Greece, may well come back to haunt it.
Not so fast! That emerging Fine Gael 'narrative' over austerity February 23, 2015Posted by WorldbyStorm in Economy, European Politics, Irish Politics.

According to Henry McGee Fine Gael have a pre-packaged explanation for why their approach to 'austerity' has been correct…
For several years now, critics of the compliance path pursued by the Coalition, and Fianna Fáil before it, have railed that it lacked the bottle to face up to Frankfurt or Brussels. In recent months, Sinn Féin has ramped up this argument. Gerry Adams claimed his party would have put in the hard yards – and all-night negotiations – to come back with a better deal.
Until now, such theories were not tested because they lacked laboratory conditions.
Until now, such theories were not tested because they lacked laboratory conditions.
And then:
But then Greece happened. Alexis Tsipras and Yanis Varoufakis found to their cost last week their force was not so irresistible after all. Syriza's gambit has backfired on them and, by corollary, has backfooted anti-austerity parties here.
Except there's one small fly in the ointment…
Still, [Michael Noonan] did concede the Government never directly asked for debt write-down – the circumstances surrounding this admission are sure to be tested.

21st February
The crowing from the establishment and its tame media about forcing a climb-down by SYRIZA over the Greek debt and the continuing austerity programme barely disguises the complete contempt that they have for the people.
It matters little whether one thought that SYRIZA would inevitability have surrendered to the demands of the European Union or had hoped they would stand up and challenge it and defend the Greek people and blaze an alternative direction from within the European Union and oppose the IMF. Those who are anxious to advance the people's interests need to reflect more seriously about what these past few weeks have demonstrated.
One of the lessons must be that the treaties governing European Union have in effect outlawed not only a radical people-centred solution but have effectually outlawed even tame Keynesian policies, and that the controlling forces are determined to solve the crisis of capitalism at the expense of the working people.
A second thing is clear: that people can vote at the national level for whoever they like, but this is not decisive, as the European Union will impose TINA ("There is no alternative") and the economic and political straitjacket of what is in the interests of capitalism.
The debt is still the weapon of choice to be used against the people; democracy has been trumped by the overriding needs of European monopolies and the big finance houses and banks.
Those in Ireland who still labour under the illusion that the European Union can be transformed into something that it is not, need to look long and hard at the events of the last few weeks. The blocking minority that is built in to the EU decision-making process means that the big powers—those with real economic power and therefore real political power—can block anything that is not in the interests of the monopolies and finance houses.
The Irish government, once again demonstrating its abject servility towards imperialist powers, did nothing to support the Greek people apart from expressing a vacuous sympathy, and voted to defend the interests of the ruling class.
Those who continue to peddle the illusion, whether here in Ireland, in Greece or in Spain, that they can solve the people's problems within the confines of the European Union and controlling mechanisms such as the euro are only leading our people down a blind alley. There are simply no solutions to be found to debt or austerity within the European Union.
The struggles of the Greek people have exposed the true class nature of the EU and its institutions. They have shown that it can be resisted – a lesson that needs to be learnt by working people throughout Europe.

…despite some stern posturing from Germany on Thursday, Athens even seems to have won some concessions.
A deal that allows the eurozone policymakers, the International Monetary Fund and the government of Athens to keep talking next week is the first stage in a clampdown on anti-austerity sentiment.
Which is more accurate will, presumably, become clear over time.
Another piece on Greece, and Ireland… February 17, 2015Posted by WorldbyStorm in Economy, European Politics, Irish Politics, The Left.

Funny to read Megan Greene – who I think is a broker or financial analyst – in the SBP saying the following:
The new Greek government, led by opposition party Syriza, is doing what no other peripheral country in Europe has had the gumption to do: it is resisting a bailout programme that has caused the country's economy to shrink by 25 per cent in five years and, as prime minister Alexis Tsipras has highlighted, sparked a humanitarian crisis on the ground.
Rather than play nice and push through the final measures of Greece's existing bailout to receive the roughly Ђ7 billion left to be transferred to Greece, the government has made new demands. It refuses to extend the current bailout programme, due to expire at the end of this month. Instead, the government would like to scrap the bailout altogether, disband the so-called troika of international lenders (the European Commission, ECB and IMF) and come up with an entirely new plan for returning Greece to growth and debt sustainability that does not include austerity measures.
She continues:
This makes sense to any reasonable economist. Syriza has been a little fuzzy about the details of its proposal so the fiscal numbers may not add up perfectly yet, but generally it's hard to disagree with finance minister Yanis Varoufakis when he says that the bailout medicine is killing the patient. Just look at Greece's unemployment rate (25.8 per cent in November 2014) or poverty statistics (25 per cent of children are going to school hungry) if you need tangible proof.
Because all that flies in the face of what we hear from our own government and other eurozone governments. Of course as noted at the weekend by Noel Whelan it is simply not in the interest of those governments, most of which have a right of centre political and economic stripe to sustain an approach which questions and undermines the approaches taken by them in the last five or more years. Greene believes that a deal will be done, face saving or otherwise and that Greece will be given more positive terms. Hard to know, the rhetoric being what it is at the moment. But perhaps a lot of it is just rhetoric.
Pat Leahy looks at this from another angle in the same paper:
The phrase "nothing will be the same again" is one of the most comically hackneyed in all of journalism (and that's saying something). But if Greece leaves, or is pushed out, no phrase summarises things better.
I have no hotline to Chancellor Merkel's office, but I know that German officials have been communicating to their Irish counterparts – and reportedly to other countries – that they believe a Greek exit is a "containable" event. It would be a disaster for Greece, the Germans believe, but manageable for the rest of Europe.
The containable exit theory is disputed by many economists, though I think its more important opponents are political – who argue that a Greek exit changes the political character of the European Union irrevocably.
And what of this?
Standing behind it is the political judgment that other EU governments must not reward the political extremes in Greece – both as a matter of principle, but also to defend the political centrists in governments in Spain, in Portugal, in Italy, in Ireland, and beyond that, in the rest of the EU.
One has to love the idea that the approaches taken have been 'centrist' or indeed that Syriza are all that extreme. But Leahy isn't finished making an argument, for he continues:
And this is the weakness of the German determination to support the political centre. The political centre which has ruled Greece since the restoration of democracy in 1974 has manifestly failed. It has failed not just in the years of euro-plenty that preceded the crisis; it has failed to reform Greece since the crash and the arrival of the troika.
Difficult to argue with that.
For one example, despite promises, there has been no meaningful reform of the ludicrously inefficient Greek tax collection system. …Their [Syriza's] most revolutionary pledge was not the stuff about ending austerity but promising to change the corrupt political and administrative culture of Greece.
Greece's troika programme has failed not because it didn't implement deep enough austerity, but because it didn't actually reform the Greek economy.
Perhaps Syriza won't or can't succeed in the profound reform that the country needs if it is to function as a modern European state. But rather than forcing Greece out of the euro in the first weeks of the most reformist government the country has ever elected, it might make sense to give them a chance to try.
Whether that sort of analysis will work its way through to the eurozone governments and inflect their approach to Greece is an open question. But it certainly is far from incorrect.
Yet more on Greece… February 14, 2015Posted by WorldbyStorm in Economy, European Politics, Irish Politics, The Left.

…some interesting points from Noel Whelan in the IT yesterday, not least the following:
…because Greece is now the case study for the choice between anti-austerity politics and centre-right politics.
And this intrinsically political aspect is determining much of the response to Greece in the last week.
While the outcome of this Greek saga is not yet clear, what is clear is that the response of EU governments, including our own, has as much to do with domestic politics in states as it does with euro-wide economics.
The centre-right governments in charge of most of Europe have no interest in seeing this new left-wing Greek government succeed. These are the politicians typified by Jean-Claude Juncker, currently head of the European Commission, who famously said when commenting on how the current economic crisis could be solved: "We all know what to do, but we don't know how to get re-elected once we have done it."
In that sense the RoI government is merely an exaggerated reflection of a broader European sentiment at government level.
Meanwhile does anyone have a clear handle on the state of play as it stands at the moment. There's a notable effort to make insinuations of a breach within the Greek government, or at least a difference of opinion as seen here:
Although Varoufakis gave tentative approval to one formulation, this was withdrawn at the last moment after calls he and Dragasakis made to Athens.
German minister Wolfgang Schäuble had already left for Berlin. As the talks ended in stalemate, participants noted privately that the direction issued from Athens had severely undermined Varoufakis's authority. He appeared deflated, said one observer.
All manner of spinning going on…

Writing about Greece Shona Murray has a revealing quote in the SBP at the weekend:
In Germany, chancellor Merkel and Schдuble have not been drawn publicly on the political implications of the Syriza victory, but sources in the Merkel administration say they "find disturbing" the cooperation between far-left Syriza and its right-wing, populist coalition partner, the Independent Greeks.
"This is hampering democracy," one source said. "The middle of society is being left out of decisions being made by the very right and very left."
Whatever else it is simply untenable to suggest that Syriza is the very left, in the sense that it now commands a sizeable chunk of the Greek electorates support. But doesn't that say a considerable amount about the view of democracy? Somehow it was entirely acceptable when New Democracy in Greece government in tandem with the rump PASOK and the even more rump Dimar? One doubts that Merkel et al characterised that as the very right with the somewhat left and fretted about the 'middle of society'.
Nor, did we hear any criticisms of the seat boost mechanism that delivered ND and now Syriza to power. Strange that.
Greece and a Grexit… February 12, 2015Posted by WorldbyStorm in Economy, European Politics, Irish Politics, The Left.

Pat Leahy has a good overview of the Greece situation in the SBP this weekend and outlines it as follows:
The Samson Strategy is not something that is only occurring to the Greeks now.
According to Channel 4 reporter Paul Mason, who has reported extensively from Greece and interviewed leading Syriza figures, the new government will not flinch from exiting the euro if it cannot secure a deal they believe ends austerity inside it. Syriza calls it the "Samson Strategy" and it is prepared to push down the pillars of the palace to end their own "slavery".
On the German side, along the axis that links the chancellor's office in Berlin to ECB headquarters in Frankfurt, the line is firm and, as yet, unyielding.
Greece must keep its word. Countries must abide by the rules to which they have agreed. Solidarity has already been shown. To give in to Greek demands would be to encourage the extremes everywhere.
Backing up this hardline is a belief that a Greek exit from the eurozone is something that could be contained. The real losers would be the Greeks, they think.
The level of sympathy for the Greeks in Germany is minimal. Why must Germany always pay?
What's fascinating is that there's no admission that the structures of the eurozone were so poorly put together that there was no real oversight of individual member states and how they were doing. In other words Greek governments – with the help of pliable private sector international companies were able to cook the books largely untrammelled by any external considerations. And it gets worse. The adherence to a very specific ideological approach – low regulation, low income taxation, etc, and a belief in this as the only way to economic growth, also blinded the analysis from outside. We see a very similar dynamic in relation to this state during the 2000s where in the face of growing evidence that the economy was heading into significant trouble there was if anything a greater acclaim for the Celtic Tiger and its supposedly inevitable triumph.
And bundling all that together is a sense that Germany remains wedded – despite the strengthening consensus to the contrary – to a very specific right wing economic approach to be applied, come what may, to Greece and elsewhere in the eurozone.
That this has already unravelled conceptually, given that alternative views have achieved the status of a trope at this point, and politically given the arrival of Syriza, there's a certain degree of wishful thinking on the part of Berlin (and others).
So perhaps Germany, and others, have to pay, because the vehicle they constructed was not fit for purpose from the off.
And the political push back, first in Greece, soon perhaps in Spain, and elsewhere, is of no small consequence, as Leahy notes. Which raises a significant question. As he puts it, was there another way?
As can be seen from the Taoiseach's and the Irish government's increasingly hardline pronouncements on the matter, the European stand-off is a matter of huge contemporary political importance here.
Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis is eyeballing the president of the ECB over support for the Greek banks in the way that Brian Lenihan and then Michael Noonan both did over the planned burning of the infamous bondholders.
Both men, believing they had no other choice, blinked first, accepting huge costs for the Irish taxpayer.
And Leahy asks, what if they were wrong, and continues:
Bluntly, if Syriza gets its way, it destroys much of the government's economic narrative. And without that narrative, there is no route to re-election for Enda Kenny and his increasingly nervous coalition.
The Irish response to the ECB's ultimatums was cautious and risk-averse. But Varoufakis's hand is different. He and Tsipras have a hint of desperation about them which makes them unpredictable and, to the Germans, dangerous.
He also asks:
The only possible compromise now is a debt extension, rather than a writedown – a long way from what Germany deems
acceptable and a very long way from what Syriza promised Greek voters.
And even if such a deal were available, above the concerns of other eurozone governments, it's not clear Syriza could or would sell it at home.
I'm beginning to wonder if a Greek exit is the only path forward. Syriza is caught in a bind itself, but it's a bind that allows it room for movement, whereas for Europe there's much less room given the rhetorical and actual adherence to the orthodoxy.
And the very desperation of Greece's plight paradoxically strengthens their hand. A banking collapse in Athens, caused by the withdrawal of European support, would certainly crash the Greek economy. But for many Greeks, it has already crashed. They have nothing left to lose. They elected Syriza on precisely that logic.
Greeks say they want to stay in Europe, the polls say. But the election results say they want a different euro, and a different EU. That may not, however, be on offer.
And if they do exit the euro that in and of itself will have enormous repercussions, well beyond the actual economic weight and importance of Greece within the eurozone.

Kudzu bugs
Who's seeing these? I was wondering what the 'new' critters were that I'm seeing on allllll kinds of plants. "They" are concerned about soybeans but I suspect there are oh so many ornamentals they've been dining on. Now that I realize what they are, I'll observe what I can...
This post was edited by purpleinopp on Fri, Oct 25, 13 at 14:55
Purple, I haven't seen them myself, though I have no doubt that they are here....probably in abundance. Your post triggered a little search (very little) and I came across kudzubug.org. Have you seen it? I had NO idea how interesting these little pests are!
Anyway, on that site you can sign up to be a reporter of observations. They want homeowner information as well as farmer reports. I think that you should participate; I know that I would if I started seeing these insects.
Soybeans are one of the cash crops around here.
I would like to help but don't know what to report except that I've seen them, adults and empty cocoons. These things are easy to spot on porch plants. I have at least 200 species within a few feet of each other, and there's always stuff going wrong with various leaves, here'n'there. I usually never know what if it's a bug I can't find. Don't know that I have much to report under these conditions but I will take some pics and let it be known that they are in the middle of town in Opp.
The host plants for which the form asks for info are soy, kudzu and Wisteria. If I can determine these bugs doing something to other particular plants, I can report other hosts I guess, none of these 3 on the porch, or within eyesight. Don't know if that matters either, with a flying bug.
I need to look at more pics of eggs and nymphs, then my plants.

Boxing's Greatest Fighters: Joe Louis
Originally Published: May 17, 2006By Bert Randolph Sugar | Boxing Historian
Joe Louis' exploits are accorded no special place of prominence in boxing record books. His 71 bouts are sandwiched between the records of James J. Braddock, whom he succeeded, and Ezzard Charles, the fighter he was succeeded by. Both Braddock and Charles had more professional engagements, as did Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney, Primo Carnera, and Max Baer. And there have been men who had more KOs, Carnera and Charles; a higher percentage of knockouts in defense of their titles than ...

How would you prosecute a child abuse case without admitting that the victim is, indeed, a child?

The estate is a separate legal entity from any person. Contracts that flow into the estate remain binding upon the estate. Ergo, she doesn't need to have signed it; it's still binding upon the estate.
The distinction that people seem to be missing is that nobody is squelching her freedom of speech as an individual, but rather as a beneficiary of the estate. Again, remember that the estate is its own legal entity. She's not being sued as J. Random Person, but rather as somebody who profits from that estate. As a beneficiary, she's also subject to its contracts. If she breaches those contracts, she's subject to suit in her capacity as beneficiary, and can be forced to disgorge her profits from the estate.
(Note: I practice in probate law.)
" If she doesn't want to abide by the terms of the contract, she should at least be compelled to disgorge the money she was paid."
Certainly doable, but then that would generally void the contract on both sides and the movie itself is lost. So no, the company doing the suing doesn't want that.
I'd like to know if she herself signed the contract. From the sounds of it, she's being bound by it the actions of the Estate itself. So... did she promise to keep her mouth shut, or did someone else promise she'd keep her mouth shut?
If she wants to enjoy the profits of the estate she should also abide by its constraints. Nothing it preventing her from completely disclaiming her rights in same.

You're sitting in front of a terminal that gives you access to information in a way that makes the great library at Alexandria look like a comic book store, and you can't be arsed to look up what the 17th Amendment says before commenting on it?
The 17th Amendment does not give two senators to each state. That was written into the original Constitution; the bicameral system was a compromise between those who wanted population-proportional representation (i.e. the House of Representatives) and equal-state representation (i.e. the Senate).
The 17th Amendment changed the method for choosing senators from selection by the state legislature (US Constitution, Article 1, Section 3, Clause 1) to a popular vote by the people of the state. The Founders had very specific reasons for having the state legislatures choose senators instead of the people; the 17th Amendment changed the balance of power significantly.
The newspaper will still have a right to freely express its opinions; it's just going to have to repair its presses first.

That's not the way do to it. The camera should be recording for the whole shift, but if the officer doesn't unholster a weapon, that day's footage gets erased at the end of the shift. If a weapon is drawn, footage around that event would be saved. Less privacy worries for the officers, and more incentive for them to resolve situations without firing.

Making Sookie's Maker
Tunica native Charlaine Harris charmed an overflow crowd at last Sunday's booksigning at the Tunica Museum, opting to give a brief talk and then take questions from the crowd instead of reading from her work.
Harris was also tapped for the museum's exhibit, "Sons and Daughters of Tunica County," during the program. She has published scores of books and short stories, had eight books on the New York Times best seller list at once, and won an Anthony Award for Best Paperback Mystery in 2001.
Harris has stayed grounded, though, despite the success she has enjoyed since her Sookie Stackhouse vampire books were first adapted for the HBO series True Blood in 2008. Producer Alan Ball picked up one of Harris' Sookie books, read seven chapters straight through and immediately saw the potential for a hit.

My oldlady shoots my Gp100 all the time at the range and she handles .357's like they are nothing. She likes my Gp more than her Glock. Shes about 5'4" and maby 130lbs and she does great with it. But shes looking at getting and Sp101 for her carry weapon. Dont know if this helps but she also tried the Lcr in .38+p and didnt like it at all its to small of a gun. Im pretty sure the Gp will be a great choice for you. What lenght barrel are you looking at? Mine is the four inch barrel. Dont mind the other thats her Glock.
That is the exact gun, that I am considering, thanks for the info about how your wife handles the gun, I think I will go for either that one or the sp101 .357 in the 4" barrel. I'll have to do some more research, and maybe try them out.
You would probaly be better off getting the Gp100 the recoil probaly isnt gonna be as bad because of the added weight and if all else fails it would make a really good club.
Ruger fan club checking in...can't go wrong with the GP, simple operation, maintenence, usage. .357 chambering is the way to go, you don't have to run .357's through it but it's nice to have options!
Ok, thanks, I'm leaning toward the GP 100
