Doubts whether the profession continues to enjoy noble status
CHENNAI: Chief Justice of the Madras High Court A.P. Shah on Thursday criticised "politicisation" of the Bar and the behaviour of a section of legal professionals.
Speaking after opening the library section in the name of Habibullah Badsha, Senior Advocate in the Madras Bar Association, on the Madras High Court campus, Mr. Justice Shah said it was unfortunate that politicisation had crept into the legal profession. This had prompted him to think whether the profession continued to enjoy a noble status.
Appealing to the senior legal fraternity to take up the role of teaching the juniors the basic ethics of the Court, the Chief Justice noted that the Bombay High Court did not allow any politicisation to creep in. In this context, he suggested that senior lawyers take up the responsibility of moulding the younger generation.
"Leading lights"
Mr. Justice Shah described the 75-year-old Mr. Badsha, who had completed 50 years of legal practice, as one of the leading lights of the Madras Bar.
Former Judge of the Supreme Court S. Natarajan, offering his felicitations, criticised the present tendency of legal professionals to owe allegiance to political parties. It was unfortunate that the professionalism of the legal profession was not only degenerating but was also being degraded at all levels.
"We must stand out as legal professionals as we provide justice to those hapless litigants," Mr. Natarajan said, urging the seniors in the profession to shape and mould the younger generation.
In his speech, Mr. Badsha said he owed everything to his senior, S. Govind Swaminathan, under whose guidance he was able to make a mark in the legal profession.
He announced an initial donation of Rs.30,000 towards creating a corpus fund to equip the libraries at the district-level courts with the required law books.
Advocate General G. Masilamani presented a memento to Mr. Justice Shah and Mr. Natarajan. T.V. Ramanujun, President of the Madras Bar Association, thanked Mr. Badsha for his donation of Rs.1 lakh for setting up an exclusive section in the Madras Bar Association Library.
S.M. Loganathan, secretary, said the initial donation of Rs.30,000 announced by Mr. Badsha for creating a corpus fund to equip the libraries at district-level courts was a "boon." The Madras Bar Association would continue to donate law books to these courts.

With explorations of addiction, homelessness, and abuse, this book touches on some of society's weightiest issues. This is a title for teens who like their fiction serious and gritty.
—School Library Journal
Abby lives in a lavishly decorated secret cave in the woods, doted on by the handsome and mysterious Sam. She's free to sketch all day, losing herself in her artwork, mythology and the classic literature Sam loves to read aloud. She wonders about her life before she met Sam, but the details are too fuzzy to pin down, and everything seems perfect as she basks in the glow of Sam's affection and care. Leaving their snug hideaway to uncover the truth is out of the question, anyway, because Sam fears Abby will be attacked by the evil denizens of the world outside, which he's dubbed Circle Nine, after Dante's most intimidating Circle of Hell. His reasoning doesn't hold up: Abby notes that Sam leaves the cave to get "medicine" from his "doctor," Sid, while Amanda, another Circle Nine resident, turns up to live in the cave, too. Amanda makes Abby question her perceptions of the cave, the food they eat, even Sam's motivations. Astute readers will have sussed out most of Sam's problems and Abby's past well before her memories trickle, then surge back, eliminating the urgency and suspense essential to any psychological thriller's success.
Abby and Sam's tragic story is better suited to tearjerker fans than die-hard thriller readers. (Mystery. 14 & up)

This is not an easy review for me. When a story deals with abusive relationships, I normally don't read them. Books with sexual abuse or drug addiction usually a hard read for me. But this book was on my new release list, so I said I'd give it try. I'm so glad I did. I really did fall in love with the story between Sam and Abby. I would have liked to have known more of what happened to Sam, seen more of a resolution for him. Sam really grabbed a hold of my heart and I couldn't let him go. The choices he made took him down a road he could never return from, but I still thought of him as messed-up little boy that I wanted to love and fix. I was, however, happy to see that Abby's terrifying experience made her a better person from where she first started in this story. Anne Heltzel has an amazing way of writing about a subject I have a difficult have a hard time reading about. This is a very serious and dramatic situation between Sam and Abby, so be ready with the tissue box. I will definitely be reading more of Anne Heltzel's books. Circle Nine is an amazing story and a definite must read!!

This story is a tragic narrative about trust and how you can never fully trust anyone but yourself in life. Circle Nine is exhilarating with its complex main character who sees only what she wants. The story is a bit creepy and daunting but its fun at the same time! I had a remarkable experience while reading it and felt everything that the main character did! I say read this story!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

When my grandmother was alive, I learned to be careful with my words, especially when paying any compliments.
If I told her I liked her raincoat, five minutes later she would have snuck it into the trunk of my car. If I admired her olive bowl, I would later find it wrapped in paper tucked in my suitcase. If I spent too long thumbing through one of her cookbooks, it soon would be mine.
I was reminded of this feeling earlier this month when Ben and I spent the morning at our friend Jim's mother's house learning how to make prosciutto. Before we began, Antonietta showed us the cold room of her basement, where prosciutto, capicola and week-old sausages hung from the ceiling, homemade wine aging in carboys lined the perimeter, and mason jars of homemade tomato sauce, roasted peppers and pickled vegetables filled a closet floor to ceiling.

The other night I was watching the Angels and Indians. He pitched 7 2/3 innings with 3 hits. I thought this guy was really young then i found out he was 38. 1 of AL's better pitchers :clap:
I love big Tatonkas and MONKEYS
I think it was a bad idea for Albert to move teams. He was much better with the Cardinals.. I think Prince will come around and start bombing them just like Kemp.
Well I just started watching baseball this year and I've been reading the rules and I'm understanding this stuff great.. So im going to have to say yes to your post jerv111. He is very good and is...
Kila Ka'aihue... Best player on the A's team! AL slugger of the year
I think Freddie Freeman should be on this list :mad:
I saw Jon Jones fight a couple weeks ago.. He fought Rashad Evans pretty tough and glad that he beat him. I love watching these fights live but tickets cost way to much. Almost cost an arm and a leg....
I think Francisco Cordero is going to be an elite pitcher. He just has to shake off the dust if you know what im saying:clap:

The customer loyalty market is changing, both in form and in function. When one considers customer loyalty, chances are high that a loyalty card springs to mind. Further, it's likely that a points-based system in which customers accrue credit for each purchase is also associated with loyalty. In such a system, customers can receive credit in an actual store or through online purchases. This credit acts as a secondary type of currency that can be redeemed for rewards, usually after a certain threshold has been reached.
While both the physical loyalty card and point-system are still very successful tactics, a different type of loyalty market is emerging. This market responds to the new type of interaction happening between brands and consumers. Because of the constant connectivity of the internet, the majority of interactions consumers have with an organization will not result in a purchase. That means the best customer loyalty programs now have to extend past simply sales.
For instance, a visitor who frequents a website to consume content may not be far enough down the sales funnel to make a purchase, meaning incentivizing that type of action would be a waste of resources. However, rewarding their consistent readership with an offer to download exclusive content, or with recognition via social media are both methods for keeping them engaged. This type of interaction turns the concept of purchase-based loyalty on its head, and changes the way businesses think about their customer relationships.
In the Information Age, the buying process is more complex, and raising retention rates post purchase often requires more than sending coupons to past customers. Loyalty happens across a range of actions, often centered on the consumption of content.
This type of interaction is a response to consumer expectations, but it typically requires integrating a software platform dedicated to rewarding customers. This guide details the features of customer loyalty software, examines how businesses can measure ROI, and discusses the continued use of purchase-based loyalty programs.
Rewards Customization
To properly reward non-purchase behavior, businesses will need to structure rewards that create user loyalty. These type of rewards can vary from access to unique or limited-time content, to gamification elements such as special statuses or badge icons. Robust loyalty program software will also allow businesses to customize their rewards based on the context of the interaction as well as the type of loyalty behavior the business is trying to promote. The best customer loyalty programs should make distributing rewards intuitive for business users, making oversight of the rewards program simple and straightforward.
In the context of loyalty, game elements are excellent tools for driving users to engage in specific behavior. Consequently it's common to see the use of gamification in loyalty programs. By structuring loyalty campaigns into levels or tiers, and by rewarding users for engagement, organizations can create an incremental experience that develops a sense of progress in users, thereby increasing their motivation to participate.
Time specific campaigns such as contests also fall into this feature category, with certain software allowing intuitive customization of limited-time loyalty events.
Omni-Channel Accessibility
While many of the new innovations in customer loyalty software are being driven by online interactions, leading programs offer businesses omni-channel capabilities. This means customer will be able to access loyalty rewards and features through three main channels: online, mobile, and in-store. Omni-channel functionality is important because even though customer expectations have increased for online interactions, they have not lessened their in-store expectations.
Omni-channel is also known as a seamless experience. Such a program connects customers to loyalty rewards across mobile devices, stores, and computers. Given the meteoric rise of smartphone usage among consumers, more and more brand interactions take place there.
For example, if one of your customers receives coupons in his email, an omni-channel experience would allow this customer to simply open said email from his smartphone and scan the coupon in-store.
Of course, mobile access may not be relevant for programs that feature a physical card, though it's becoming more common for card-based programs like Pirq to take the form of a digital app that customers also scan through their phone.
For organizations that implement loyalty functionality on their site, it's important to consider how your new loyalty program software will integrate with your legacy systems. To function properly, the loyalty program software will need to include an API which integrates with content management systems like Wordpress. Otherwise, installation will require heavy support from the software vendor, which could delay the launch date and make future software changes difficult.
It's also important to consider social media integration, which makes it easier for customers to log in with their social profiles and for you to distribute rewards for targeted behavior through social channels. Email integration can also be important for distributing coupons and other rewards to your customers.
Similarly, buyers should look for loyalty solutions that integrate with your customer relationship management system. With CRM integration, businesses will be better able to organize their customer information and track the behavior of each customer.
For brick and mortar businesses, it's also critical to ensure that the solution integrates with point of sale systems. Certain card-based products like Belly may feature unique hardware that needs to be purchased for customers to scan the card, while others will allow scanning straight into the POS system. Advantages exist to both: the latter may be more user friendly for your employees and customers while the form can collect more detailed information about buying habits.
Functionality that's common to both card-based and web-based customer loyalty software, analytics features enable businesses to gain greater insight into the buying behavior of your customers – insight which you can then cross reference with demographic data to develop customer profiles and better target your marketing or loyalty efforts. The type of data you gather will vary depending on the type of platform you deploy.
For example, web-based loyalty management software will capture data on how customers act when they're on your site, when they mention your brand on social media, and when they make a purchase. Card-based systems gather a narrower set of data, e.g., mostly buying behavior and demographics, though vendors like Perkville can sometimes gather more robust data through their loyalty software.
Measuring the effectiveness of loyalty has historically been limited to an incremental model, i.e., customers receive rewards or incentives and an organization waits to see who responds over a certain period of time. With the rise of analytics, it's become easier for you to measure the return from your loyalty program software. Using an uplift model specifically, you'll be able to track the effectiveness of your efforts.
An uplift model creates a control group against which to test the returns of your loyalty incentives. The control group consists of customers who were not exposed to your customer loyalty program, which allows you to measure the impact of the independent variable – in this context your incentives and rewards – for comparison against the control. Certain top tier vendors include this in their software platform, but it's also possible to build an uplift model yourself.
Once you've let your model run for a couple of months, you can examine the data to analyze not only which rewards and incentives are most effective at spurring engagement, but also which tactics translate into the most significant return for your business.
One of the market leaders in West Coast-style apparel, Pac Sun wanted to increase retention rates among their customer base. As the result of a successful digital strategy, Pac Sun had acquired a substantial database of customer information, but the California retailer wanted to ensure they capitalized on every opportunity to advance their relationship with their customers. So after vetting different loyalty software companies, Pac Sun settled on Seattle-based Big Door.
After four months of fastidious preparation, Big Door launched a loyalty solution that integrated with both Pac Sun's website and represented the brand's well-crafted aesthetic. Big Door offers their clients an open API, so Pac Sun's new loyalty functionality blended perfectly with the existing website features. Big Door also provided a series of custom reports to Pac Sun so their marketing team could identify the best customers and target them with premium offers.
After implementing Big Door's loyalty software, Pac Sun realized a tremendous 132 percent increase in on-site engagement and a 138 increase in registrations. Consequently, Pac Sun realized a 38 percent increase in revenue per customer. Pac Sun also continues to use the aforementioned uplift model developed by Big Door to measure customer response to loyalty marketing efforts.

Cicer reticulatum, C. echinospermum, C. bijugum, C. judaicum, C. pinnatifidum, C. cuneatum and C. yamashitae are wild annual Cicer species and potential donors of valuable traits to improve chickpea (C. arietinum). As part of a large project to characterize and evaluate wild annual Cicer collections held in the world gene banks, AFLP markers were used to study genetic variation in these species. The main aim of this study was to characterize geographical patterns of genetic variation in wild annual Cicer germplasm. Phylogenetic analysis of 146 wild annual Cicer accessions (including two accessions in the perennial C. anatolicum and six cultivars of chickpea) revealed four distinct groups corresponding well to primary, secondary and tertiary gene pools of chickpea. Some possible misidentified or mislabelled accessions were identified, and ILWC 242 is proposed as a hybrid between C. reticulatum and C. echinospermum. The extent of genetic diversity varied considerably and was unbalanced between species with greatest genetic diversity found in C. judaicum. For the first time geographic patterns of genetic variation in C. reticulatum, C. echinospermum, C. bijugum, C. judaicum and C. pinnatifidum were established using AFLP markers. Based on the current collections the maximum genetic diversity of C. reticulatum, C. echinospermum, C. bijugum and C. pinnatifidum was found in southeastern Turkey, while Palestine was the centre of maximum genetic variation for C. judaicum. This information provides a solid basis for the design of future collections and in situ conservation programs for wild annual Cicer.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Kyle Lohse will start again Wednesday
The Brewers announced Monday that right-hander Kyle Lohse will make his next start on Wednesday in Washington against the Nationals.
Lohse started Sunday in Pittsburgh but went only 1 2/3 innings before a two-hour rain delay ended his day. The Brewers went on to lose, 2-1, in 14 innings to get swept in that series.
Because of his short outing, which in essence serves as sort of a bullpen work day, Lohse will come back on short rest Wednesday. The Brewers have listed TBA for the Thursday finale in D.C.
Rookie Johnny Hellweg would have been scheduled to make his second big-league start Wednesday but obviously is being held back for use in long relief the next few days if necessary. Hellweg went only 1 2/3 innings in his first start Friday in Pittsburgh.
Tyler Thornburg, summoned from the minors to provide bullpen depth after Hellweg's short outing, took over when play resumed Sunday and tossed five shutout innings. Thus, he won't be available for several days to pitch again, leaving the bullpen short.
If Hellweg and/or Donovan Hand aren't needed in relief over the first three games of the series in Washington, one will start the finale. It would be Hand's regular day to pitch but the Brewers don't want Hellweg sitting around a long time, either.

Love to Laugh
Im outgoing and a bit goofy. I love to laugh and enjoy sarcasm...I can't tell a joke to save my life, but I will try and almost always ruin it. I like living in the moment but love to plan ahead because i enjoy something to look forward too. I am always up for doing something outdoors, and with that being said I like to be active and healthy... hiking, camping, bowling, baseball, fishing, a night out/night in.. as long as its good company I am always up for it. I do enjoy my quiet time too, I think it grounds you to be able to sit with yourself and not feel you need anyone around and feel just as content. I'd rather tell you more about myself in conversation rather than giving you a long bio of my life and what Im looking for, This is all new to me so I am going at this with an open mind so if you care to get to know me any further then ask away... * I am currently living in Northern Cali.. so I apologize for being misleading. I shall return to San Diego the end of this year though. Also I prefer you dont "wink" at me.. if you are interested just say hello.. the whole winking part of this I can't quite grasp.. we are all on here for the same reason why not just say hello as we would in person? Trust me if I were to wink back at you it wouldn't look as cute.. haha. I guess to sum it all up, we all are looking for something that triggers us, whether its a laugh, smile, challenge.. I personally like it all.. I can't say that I'm not waiting for that spark because I am.. I don't have a type, im not picky, and I could care less how much you make or what you drive.. but if you can make me smile till my smile hurts, and make me forget that I had something I should be doing, but Im not.. then that's good enough for me ;)

Hmm.. well I wish I was much more cultured.. but Id have to say any spot in SD is amazing... Cabo, SF, Redding, Lake Arrowhead, basically all the places I have lived..
Love all music, country being my top favorite. Modern Family, Nashville, Archer, The League, and New Girl are the only shows I watch anymore.
Rather you ask me.. I think thats the fun part of getting to know someone..

Magic Switch: Orlando bounces Boston from 2nd
ORLANDO, Fla. Dwight Howard blocked a potential go-ahead layup by Paul Pierce with 3.8 seconds left, and the Orlando Magic clinched their second straight Southeast Division title with an 84-82 win over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.
Howard had 24 points and 21 rebounds as the Magic (53-18) bumped Boston (54-19) by percentage points for second in the Eastern Conference behind Cleveland. Orlando remains five games back of Cleveland for the conference lead with 11 games left. The Magic took the division title with Atlanta's loss to San Antonio.
Pierce hit a jumper to cut Orlando's lead to 83-82 with 1:27 left, but the Celtics couldn't make up the difference without Kevin Garnett, who was limited to 16 minutes as Boston continues to work him back in the lineup from a right knee strain. Pierce then missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer that would have won it for Boston.
Rashard Lewis had 21 points, and Hedo Turkoglu added 13 points for the Magic, who nearly blew a 16-point lead before holding on for their fourth straight win and 11th in their past 13 games. The Magic were held to just 14 points in the final period.
Pierce had 26 points, and Ray Allen added 16 points for the Celtics, who snapped their four-game winning streak.
Fueled by their big man, Orlando finally started to shed that image of a team that can't win the big game.
Howard followed up a rim-rocking, two-hand dunk with a 3-point play that put the Magic up 66-50 with 3:54 left in the third quarter. Garnett was called for the foul on the play and left the game for good, but not before huddling his teammates to give them a few choice words.
They would respond.
Pierce had six points during a furious 12-2 Celtics run that trimmed Orlando's lead to six. Reaching to give his team some life, Howard dunked over Glen Davis on an alley-hoop from Turkoglu that ignited the Magic bench despite ending the third quarter with only a 70-62 lead.
With home-court advantage at stake for a potential second-round playoff series, the Celtics made health the priority.
Boston coach Doc Rivers again resisted the urge to play Garnett for a full game, limiting him to eight-minute spurts in the first and third quarters. Garnett finished with four points and eight rebounds in his fourth game back from injury, and Rivers has said he will continue to ease the All-Star forward back in the lineup.
Howard had a double-double by the first quarter.
Orlando's do-it-all center had 12 points and 10 rebounds in the period, powering the Magic to a 25-19 lead after a quarter in which he had three dunks, soaring at times above the backboard. Howard started 6-for-9 shooting and took advantage of Garnett's limited minutes to penetrate the paint at will. It was the fourth time this season Howard had a double-double in the first 12 minutes.
He had help.
The Magic's free-shooting perimeter players went to work in the second quarter, with Lewis and Turkoglu hitting a 3-pointer to help Orlando go ahead by 12 points midway through the period. Lewis finished with 12 points in the quarter on 4-of-6 shooting.

Oddometer: 150
O.K. now I'm done with the blah blah blah and it's time to commence with the adventure.
I'm not going to bore you with pack lists or what camera I have or what helmet I have or what type of fruit of the looms are rubbing my butt raw along the way. Just the ride, lots of pics and the stupid stuff we got ourselves into.
Day #1. San Diego to as close to Sedona as we can get while not killing each other on Day 1......
Packed up and ready to hit the road. With what we have planned to do we have known we were leaving for this trip for over 9 months so were ready to do this. I've checked & double checked all the supplies, tools, spares, loctited everything so it doesn't rattle off (it is a harley), spit shined everything, farted, burped and emptied the system and it's time to rock and roll.
I've got visions of roaming the countryside free as a bird with my wife on the back laughing and smiling telling me what a knight in shining armor I am and how I would have been Christopher Columbus if I was born back whenever the heck he lived. At some points it was like that but... well you know. Its traveling on a motorcycle. Don't need to go into detail on ADV.
Anyhoo.... It's 7 in the morning, July 13th, and the forecast for the desert is looking to be 105-110 degrees. We have to make our way past Palm Springs and then we get into the Anza fun times on our way to Sedona.
Our plan is to do the least amount of interstate as possible along the way which is going to be slow traveling but more scenic and a more relaxed pace since I had learned an approximate breaking point on mileage with mama on the Spain trip. 300 miles seems to be a good # for her and if things fluctuate over she should still be good.
So off we roll and the adventure begins....
Nice cool morning and the miles are flying by.... Clocks ticking by, miles are clicking by and the music is blaring... Freedom on my mind and miles to pound.
Get through Palm Springs and start making our way into the desert and the temp starts picking up. All good in my mind and we roll on.
And it gets hotter...and hotter...and hotter...
This is when I figure out that anything above 95 degrees (at highway speeds) is like a freaking furnace and at this point the harley temp gauge is reading some foreign # that doesn't even register on the Kelvin scale. The heat from this friggen V-twin is roasting my thigh like a slab of beef jerky.
I've ridden dirtbikes a lot in hot 100+ degree dez stuff but typically you're not going 80 mph in 106 degree heat for hours on end and you can just drink out of the camelback and spit it back on your face or neck. Not so on a harley... I felt like a friggen turkey on Thanksgiving day.
Luckfully I had read about ECV vests and had purchased a couple to help deal with this. Soak them up, strap them on and they act like swamp coolers for the body as long as you have a mesh or perforated leather jacket to let air in.
So at the gentle urging of mama that she was about to pass out and do the worlds longest belly slide down the freeway (longest freeway section she did the whole ride) I pulled off and we soaked down the vests.
If you have never used these in extreme hot temps before I highly advise it. I'll definitely be using these on an future hot rides on the dirtbike.
Anyway... Jammed on to Blythe and called it a day to ease the Mrs. into this long trip. The Spain trip was about 300 miles split in 2 days so I had to start small and see how things were going and go from there.
Day one over! No issues. Happy times and pretty much a boring day #1 just trying to get through a crappy dez ride. 200 miles down... 5,800 to go....
Pics for the day.... Just two quickies. Nothing to show/talk about on Day 1
Morning Departure.... Told you we're a freak show!
The route for the day:
(P.S. she might create a login here to so you can hear the wife's side of this trip also. Maybe we'll have an epic online forum fight for all of you to enjoy!

We had a wonderful stay at the Candlewood. We always like a hotel with a pool so our grandsons can swim. The water temperature was just right as was the hot tub.
Our golden retriever loved the hotel.
May 25, 2015
We had never stayed at a Candlewood Hotel and did not realize that the reservation made over the phone was for Candlewood until we arrived. The fully stocked room allowed us to eat our ordered meal in comfort and the table allowed us to eat from chairs rather than the bed. The grounds around the hotel were especially nice and added to the convenience of walking to local shops.
Comfortable bed

When going to Cranberry this is the best place to stay.

It is beyond my understanding. Why these companies are not doing bankruptcy? Why they are seeking taxpayers assistance? Do the bankruptcy and restructure the company again thats all.
it's the oil industry we are supporting not the auto
While others were seeking to drive down the wave of revulsion that greeted the information about AIG bonuses, categorising it as merely "populism" and thus suspect by the ranks of privileged and the reportorial class, who seemed to have never thought once that the "rage" was merely the appropriate response to any situation where anger was never listened to in the first place, where depression had been passed over and passed through already, and where "bonuses" were somehow more privileged than "wages" or "salaries," and at a point when job security as a concept was seemingly slipping well-past its nadir, let's start persistantly asking (as I did when the Big Three first came to Washington on their mission for money) why it is that union contracts are never regarded as untouchable, but bonuses earned at the expense of the corporation are? All to the chorus of "So sue me!"
And while we are at it, why is it not an appropriate response to ask our national legislators to take a pay cut? After all, we would seem to have a prima faciae case for them having been asleep at the wheel, right? Let's start acting like we are all in this together, eh?
1976 congress allowed pickup trucks to have a much lower MPG then passenger cars and much lower safety standards then passenger cars. The reason at the time was to help farmers who were really struggling and who were the majority of pickup truck owners at the time. Now, SUV's, pickups, mini vans and Crossover SUV's are all classified as trucks and have lower MPG and inferior safety standards as trucks dating back to 1976. They are also significantly cheaper to make then passenger cars. Hence the big profit margins to build and sell these things. You don't have to make anything illegal to get rid of trucks being used as passenger cars. All you have to do is bring truck MPG and safety standards equal to passenger cars. Over night car companies would be dropping their SUV lines. You could also give a big tax break for those who legitimately need a tuck for their business.
I am an avid motorcycle. The state of the auto industry seems to parrallel the state of Harley-Davidson in the late 70's and early 80's. They need to provide the public with a product which they want and promote the fact that they are doing so. A turn around is possible, but it will take some time and a drastic new approach to the way they do business.
your caller says get government out of business. no. get business out of government. it's finance, the AIGs and Bank of Americas whove rewritten the rules, it's GMC and big pharmacy and the insurance companies whose transportation, energy, health, finance deregulation, disregulation, misregulation, misfeasance, malfeasance, abrogation of fiduciary responsibility, and overwhelming dowry cost of getting into bed with international oil which has bankrupted us, and the GMC and Chrysler's traditional dependency on government has bankrupted them.
get business out of government and government back in government.
re: making good cars.
Both my parents and my sister bought Chevy Impalas---which are beautiful cars. My brother-in-law has always only purchased Chevy trucks, and as far as I know, has always been happy with them.
I am quite happy not to own a car anymore, but I'm also quite happy, when I visit my parents, to drive their Impala. Niiiice ride.
"Blackmail" caller? The government didn't just jump into their business GM asked for a bailout from the government. President Obama is allowed to say NO! Get over it.
want to help auto communities pay people to move out, tear down their old homes, get them to move where jobs are, offer them college.
I have to pull my own weight to keep a business going, no bailout option, so should they!
Tax or no tax, SUVs and Hummers should never have been legal.
We need regulation in the auto industry to prevent such waste, just as we need regulation in banking to prevent excessive credit default swaps and predatory lending.
Universal health care, as Darius mentions, would help even the playing field for US manufacturers, but it is not enough. The US must increase taxes on gasoline to keep the pump price high enough so that US car buyer do not demand fuel inefficient monstrosities like the SUV or Hummer. Like European countries, Japan and other developed countries do.
SUVs and Hummers were not forced upon an unwilling public. They were demanded by people as a passenger version of the highly popular light trucks while the oil prices were unsustainably low in the late 80s, and 90s. Even this year, after the cost of gas declined, the sales of the Prius have declined more than auto sales in general.
It takes several years to bring car with major redesign to market. The cost of fuel is a major factor in what kind of car the US public will buy. So the cost of fuel must be stabilized and the only way to do that by taxing fuel at the same levels as the European countries.
Hmmm, this is a serious problem. I think the best solution would be to legalize pot.
Brian: Regarding the relative "non-negotiability" of AIG contracts vs. UAW contracts: excellent point. I've hardly seen anyone bring that up.
Excellent point!
Universal healthcare would save the car companies.

Yoo wan mai arrt?
So this happened today.
Out of the clay grew THE PEOPLES.
And they have a story to tell....
The peoples have holes in their heads.
But they do not know this.
They listen to their own chatter, their own empty conditioning.
They need to be heard, to be right.
The peoples are so very righteous.
They preach to you in their TONGUES OF TRUTH.
They search for ways to fill the emptiness.
They bow in reverence to the external object.
The grotesque has become their everyday...
The absurd has become their rational
The peoples are screaming, but they do not hear....
leaving the father's house:
"Overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out."
Arthur C Clarke, The 9 Billion Names of God
Finally I have found a moment to blog about the fantastic show I was very excited to be part of which was hosted and curated by OX Art.
The show was a response to an Arthur C Clarke short story called The 9 Billion Names of God. The story was rich material to work with, holding many metaphors in relation to the human condition, faith, belief and society at large. Please do visit Ox Art's blog to see photos of all the artists work in the show - the show was very diverse!
My response, Leaving the Father's House, focused on the question of 'how do we as humans find meaning in a seemingly meaningless universe'?
I created a fold-able pocket shrine which explored the ideas of personal mythology, objects of power and ritual making activity as ways of finding meaning in our 'arbitrary universe'.
Pictures of my work are below (gallery photos courtesy of Annabel Pettigrew, Ox Art):
The Nine Billion Names of God
I am super excited to be part of an upcoming group show curated and hosted by OX called 'The Nine Billion Names Of God'. Selected artists have made work in response to the short story 'The Nine Billion Names Of God' by Arthur C. Clarke. The show will run for 24 hours only.
Please see the below flyer and this Facebook invite for more details. Really hope to see you there!
rituals of the soul:
"The woman who takes the time to grow herself in the darkness becomes familiar - perhaps for the first time - with the real source and containment of her psychic strength."
"No longer is her strength dissipated in obeying an idealised father figure, in pleasing a lover, in trying to satisfy a perpetually unsatisfied mother figure, in accommodating to a patriarchal organisation or culture, in appeasing the inner witch who tells her she is worthless...."
"....No longer is her strength lost to obeying compulsions, drives, and obsessions that can slip in during the dark night of the soul and substitute for the real thing...."
"....and what is the real thing, the thing for which she longs?...."
".... [it is] the love affair with her own spirit, the inner marriage that commits her to her destiny, the rituals of soul that feed her deepest hunger....."
"..... the sense of being pregnant with her Self, the creative essence"
spinning some CROW ideas:
Contemporary Artists' Books Exhibition - Riverside Gallery:
I am very excited to be exhibiting in the upcoming Contemporary Artists' Books exhibition - at Riverside Gallery, Twickenham, 29 November 2014 to 14 February 2015. This is to coincide with the annual literature festival that is also taking place.
My hand embroidered book Dissociation will be featured, as will my illustrated book Yes, No, Maybe, Crow - with the opportunity to buy limited edition copies of the latter.
