Looking for old family photos
Journal by cowboyup1960
I am looking for anyone who might have old photos of my ancestors.
by JimJoe on 2010-06-26 16:05:14
If my sisters and I ever find our parent's old photo box, I might have some photos of Great Aunet Tennie and Great Uncle Earl Caffey.
I'll put them on my web site when I find them: http://myancestors.drivein-jim.net/

Injury-plagued Giants use a wild lineup
Aug 16, 2011, 6:05 PM EDT
It's safe to say the defending world champs weren't projecting this as a starting lineup a few months ago:
CF Cody Ross
2B Mike Fontenot
1B Pablo Sandoval
LF Aubrey Huff
RF Brandon Belt
SS Orlando Cabrera
3B Miguel Tejada
C Chris Stewart
For the record, this is the Giants' 122nd game of the season. The eight players in the Giants' lineup tonight have started at those positions a grand total of 98 times this year.
Ross – 3
Fontenot – 8
Sandoval – 4
Huff – 1
Belt – 0
Cabrera – 16
Tejada – 37
Stewart – 29
Only Stewart and Tejada are playing at their most common positions. Tejada actually had started 37 games at both third base and shortstop, but he had played more innings at third.
What made the odd lineup even odder is that the Giants originally had Huff in right field and Belt in left before switching the two. Huff had played right in 13 of his 14 outfield starts this season, and all three of Belt's previous outfield starts had come in left.
So, why are we seeing this? Not only did Carlos Beltran go on the disabled list Tuesday, but the Giants have also had to send Nate Schierholtz (foot) and Jeff Keppinger (wrist) for tests that will help determine how much time they'll miss. Finally, Aaron Rowand is nursing a strained intercostal muscle.
At least the Giants have the right starter on the mound tonight: Jonathan Sanchez loves those walks and strikeouts, so there shouldn't be a whole bunch of balls is play. He can go as long as he wants, too: with just two players on the bench in Mark DeRosa and Eli Whiteside, the Giants don't figure to do any pinch-hitting.

As a diehard SF Giants fan: congrats Arizona on winning the division.
- The Baseball Gods - Aug 16, 2011 at 6:54 PM
Wow, that's a hell of a defeatist attitude from a fan of the team that won the World Series last season after being down 6.5 games in the division on August 25th last season. It's not like your team was hitting anyway and your stud pitchers are still around. The Giants are only 2.5 games back to a team that was 65-97 last season and finished dead last in the NL West.
- dcburden - Aug 16, 2011 at 7:01 PM
Interesting definition of "diehard."
- rhandome - Aug 16, 2011 at 7:08 PM
See how confident you feel when your team starts two first basemen in the outfield.
- anonmonster - Aug 16, 2011 at 7:22 PM
I'm more worried about the offense. Schierholtz was streaky but came up big often, and Keppinger is a solid hitter. With them and Beltran out, that leaves Sandoval as what's left of our already poor offense. Maybe Belt will go on a tear.
Huff sucks on fire in the OF though.
- joelgold - Aug 16, 2011 at 8:00 PM
"Diehard"?? 2.5 games back in mid August is no time to concede anything. Did you even watch last year at all? Don't know if they will repeat, but that's why they play the games and I watch.
- kcrockett1 - Aug 16, 2011 at 6:36 PM
When the hell did everybody get hurt? I guess you don't really notice until you lose the division lead
- anonmonster - Aug 16, 2011 at 7:01 PM
No idea when Keppinger and Rowand got hurt, but Nate had been dealing with a leg injury for a couple of games and then fouled hard off of his foot last night. Sandoval did that too, and I'm surprised he's in the lineup tonight – it was suspected he'd miss a game or two after he was pulled yesterday.
- anonmonster - Aug 16, 2011 at 7:50 PM
Aaaaaand Sanchez just rolled his ankle. Awesome.
- icanspeel - Aug 16, 2011 at 8:32 PM
And they are being no hit through 6 innings so far.. haha the irony
- The Baseball Gods - Aug 16, 2011 at 8:38 PM
By a guy making his second career start……even more ironic.
- The Baseball Gods - Aug 16, 2011 at 8:40 PM
Well Cody Ross just put a quick end to that with a solo home run to tie the game.
- anonmonster - Aug 16, 2011 at 9:24 PM
That is the exact opposite of irony. With the Giants' offense to this point and the injuries sustained, a no hitter through 6 would, in fact, be expected.

June 2010 Election Predictions
Randy Shaw: The June 8, 2010 election is not the most eventful in recent years, but it will provide valuable guidance for November. In California, the Republican Party will continue its pattern of political suicide by nominating two candidates — Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina — who have almost no chance of prevailing in the fall.

Damn it. It should of been Utah vs USC.
You know, as much as I would love to say it, I cant say that Auburn would have beaten USC tonight. They played perfect. The plays they made would eat up any defense. But I still think Auburn rightfully deserved a shot rather than OU. Scary to think what they would have done WITH Mike WilliamsOriginally Posted by MWM
Congrats USC, I consider you the true national champions after your performance tonight.
It's hilarious listening to Craig James and the other two ABC "analysts" right now talking about their comments and predictions before the game. I think they all thought the Sooners were going to win. Before the game, James was talking about how Oklahoma looked like themore confident team and were more fired up and that USC looked lackadaisical. Even a lot of the ESPN guys licked Oklahoma. Goes to show you that these guys aren't any better at predicting what will happen than any of us here.

Go Gators!
Good thing I don't gamble, since I picked Oklahoma here. USC looked unbeatable last night.
I said at the Alamo Bowl that I would have liked to see how Ohio State would have fared against Oklahoma. I think this showing confirms my belief that Tressel would have out-prepared Stoops.
I was surprised to see Oklahoma get demolished the way they did. USC played an incredible game, but Oklahoma just completely fell apart after Bradley's fumble inside the 10 on the punt. Then Jason White threw a lob pass into quadruple coverage. Just a poor game by them overall.
The way USC was rolling, I don't think Auburn would have stood much a chance, but alas, we will never find out now.
I'm guessing Leinert bolts to the NFL, since his stock will never be as high. Which (unless I am forgetting someone-which it feels like I am) means that most of the top Heisman candidates will be either sophomores or juniors; Reggie Bush, Adrian Peterson, Vince Young, Mike Hart, Ted Ginn, and Chris Leak. I can't think of any real impact seniors next year, other than maybe Frank Gore.
Really, I thought a number of the games were very entertaining. However the BCS bowls were a letdown...except for the Rose Bowl.Originally Posted by pedro
I would've liked to see Utah play Auburn.
Oklahoma certainly made the case to never be invited to a NC game again. Two straight years of screwing someone out of the NC game, two straight years of getting their doors blowed. Maybe they'll fade into the sunset like the Nebraska program after their last NC game debacle.
On a different note, could someone please tell CF band directors that they don't need to play the fight song on a three yard gain, or on a two yard loss? Geez, hearing those cruddy songs played incessantly throughout the game reaches the point of :dflynn:
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
Congrats to USC. Now I know why I don't make a living predicting games.

Piazza Venezia
The enormous Vittorio Emmanuele Monument faces one side of Piazza Venezia, and the interchange is also at the base of the Capitoline Hill and next to Trajan's Forum. In short, although this piazza isn't one in which you're likely to spend lots of leisure time, you'll certainly pass through it on your way to and from other major attractions in central Rome.
Those of you taking the bus around Rome will find Piazza Venezia to be a major transportation hub, which is useful for getting around the city. And if you're ambitious enough to be driving in Rome, you'll probably pass through the intersection a number of times.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals didn't exactly sting the ball against Clayton Kershaw. They just went to the plate with the purpose of putting it in play.
Cardinals beat Kershaw, Dodgers 5-3
The plan worked.
Matt Carpenter drove in the go-ahead run with an infield single and Pete Kozma hit a three-run double, leading the Cardinals to a 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday in the rubber game of their series.
"Kershaw's a great pitcher. But he's going to come out and throw strikes, so you need to be ready to swing the bats," Kozma said. "We needed every run we got."
"When you face someone like Kershaw, he's not going to give you anything. You have to scratch and claw for everything you get and that's what we did," manager Mike Matheny said. "The timely hits — some of them weren't all that pretty. But these guys came in here today talking about fighting, and that's exactly what they did."
Kozma led off the seventh with a bloop double off the glove of shortstop Dee Gordon as he dived for the ball in short center field. One out later, Carpenter grounded a single off the glove of first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, allowing Kozma to score. Pinch-hitter Matt Adams added an RBI single in the ninth.
"They found some holes today and got a lot of hits that fell in there. But that's the mark of a good team," Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said. "That's a good professional hitting team over there that battles and grinds."
Seth Maness (4-1) got credit for the victory in relief of starter Shelby Miller despite retiring only two of the six batters he faced. Kershaw had a chance to help himself with the bat in the sixth, but grounded into an inning-ending double play against Maness.
Edward Mujica pitched a perfect ninth inning for his 14th save in 14 attempts, as the Cardinals improved the major league's best record to 32-17 and increased their NL Central lead over Cincinnati to 1 1/2 games.
Kershaw (5-3) gave up four runs, seven hits and three walks in seven innings and struck out five as his ERA rose from a major league-best 1.35 to 1.68. The 2010 Cy Young Award winner had allowed only three earned runs in 39 2-3 innings over his previous five starts, including two no-decisions.
Kershaw had not allowed more than three earned runs in any of his previous 22 starts since giving up eight over 5 2-3 innings against the Cardinals on July 24, 2012, at St. Louis. That was the longest such streak by a Dodger since Orel Hershiser's 27-game stretch between July 12, 1985 and May 25, 1986.
"This start is better than going five innings and giving up three," Kershaw said. "Going deeper into the game is obviously important, especially for our bullpen. You're not going to be able to just go out there and throw up zeros or one run every time. You've got to battle sometimes."
Slumping center fielder Matt Kemp was not in the Dodgers' starting lineup, a day after he was removed by manager Don Mattingly in a double-switch with the team ahead by a run in the seventh inning of a 5-3 win. The two-time All-Star pinch hit for reliever Ronald Belisario in the eighth with a man on and grounded into an inning-ending double play.

Ted you'll be fine...
Earplugs are good, but you'll also be so tired you could sleep in a disco. Which incidentally, it will sound like in the truck most of the time. I'm also a big Cameo fan. Word up.
We'll have a nice sit down at the house before the race with the crew and talk about what to expect, what everyone's expected to do, etc etc. Then the race will start and we'll adjust that plan as necessary. I will also apologize then for getting testy at some point later in the race. It'll happen, don't take it personally!
Biggest thing is just to roll with the punches.. you'll have to get up before you want (we all do) you'll have to go hungry at times. You'll want to go to bed but have one more thing to get done before you do. You'll want to take a shower but not have time.. But as long as you keep a positive attitude and laugh a little, you'll have a blast.. Niles and I laugh the whole way through (which reminds me, sometimes we like to watch tv in the truck so if you want to bring some videos on your phone or ipod, we'll watch them in the mornings when we hit the road, before naptime).
See you in Mar del Plata!

Growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and liver disease, diabetes and cancer coupled with the presence of high unmet medical needs in these disease segments is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, increasing government support pertaining to funding R&D initiatives and the growing demand for medical tourism and stem cell banking services is expected to boost the demand for stem cells over the next six years. The future of this market is expected to be driven by opportunities such as the growing global prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, increasing demand for contract research outsourcing services and the substitution of animal tissues by stem cells.
The stem cells technology market was valued at USD 12.88 billion in 2013 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 12.0% during the forecast period. This market was dominated by the cell acquisitions technology segment in terms of share in 2013 owing to the fact that this technology serves as the foremost step to process involving stem cells culture. The global stem cell acquisition technology market is expected to reach USD 10.88 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of over 14.0% over the next six years.

34 year old man | Santa Monica, CA, USA | Seeking women 27-33 within 15 miles
Take nothing for granted....do it now.
I'm a laid back Midwestern guy. I could do beer and a ball game or wine and an art gallery and have fun doing either one. My motto is we work to live, we don't live to work...I try to make the most of my free time, but understand that a good work ethic can take you far. I could also spend an entire day beach lounging and book store hopping and would consider that a productive day. Lethargy is my archnemesis. My friends would say you won't find a more loyal friend. The best friends I have I've known since I was 7. We still keep in touch and get together annually. They'd also say I'm extremely thoughtful. I'm the kind of guy that would randomly pick you up from work one day and head off to a weekend of wine tasting in Santa Barbara. I like surprising people. I've picked up a few things since moving out here like surfing, sailing, and skiing. I hope to join a beach volleyball league this year...my friends and I play regularly on the SanMo beaches. I love 75 and sunny, but sometimes crave a good thunderstorm, or even snow! A little of the bad weather makes the good weather all that much better. I dearly miss seasons. I'm looking for the kind of girl that can get as excited about a camping trip to Yosemite as a weekend going out in Hollywood. She has to be willing to go on jogs with me on Saturday mornings and then laugh with me at racy cartoons like South Park and Family Guy at night. At least a "mild" interest in watching sports would be great (especially college football)! She MUST enjoy travelling...all kinds...not just fancy resorts and restaurants, but willing to go on jungle treks and mountain hikes. Mostly I want to meet someone that I can have great conversation with one minute and then just enjoy a comfortable silence the next. I know, sounds like a lot. :)
Alumni connections , Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Dancing, Football, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
Santa Monica's got so much...jog Palisades Park, cocktails at Copa D'oro, views at Shangri-La. But if I'm leaving town, my next stops are Australia and New Zealand, with hopefully many more to follow. The rest of the world is too cool to miss.
The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH
As far as music goes, I can see a Shins concert on Friday, a Crystal Method DJ set Saturday, and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra on Sunday. I listen to NPR. I don't watch a ton of TV, but I do try to catch Family Guy, Game of Thrones, and South Park.
One of my favorite things to do is going on road trips, seeing new things, and just traveling in general. I'm a pretty eclectic kind of guy...with the right person, I can have fun doing just about anything!
I love reading but don't have as much time for it as I'd like. I used to get National Geographic magazine. The last books I read were Deep Survival, Packing for Mars, and Guide to Central America. Just finished the last of Game of Thrones...

I suppose the Post gave the Hillary Clinton story low priority because it was a second day story based on Ann Curry's Monday interview on NBC; JoAnn Armao did blog about the impact on feminine politics in the "PostPartisan." The Times and the Post both blogged about Clinton's declaration on Monday.
Politico carried the Deeds-McDonnell debate on its home page, but it also gave a ride to Ben
Stein's Smith's scoop that Liz Cheney is launching an interest group, Keep America Safe, designed to attack President Obama's foreign policy. It will advocate the hard line positions taken by her father, former vice president Dick Cheney.
There was zip in the Post, though the Post's Jason Horowitz got the scoop last week on sister Mary's starting her own lobbying firm.
The Post did run a front page profile of a woman who is the "11th-highest-ranked professional competitive eater in the world."
To the Post's credit, its lead article on the Obama Administration's unannounced deployment of 13,000 support troops to Afghanistan rebounded around the media world and got links on the Daily Beast and Huffington Post.
But on politics—once its domain—the Post continues to cede valuable territory.

Something definitely changed. lol I started hounding people about it back in February and asked a few different people to write in and show support for the event, pointing out the importance of the episodes. Maybe the people I spoke to didn't know the real deal, or someone actually listened. Not sure, just happy we're finally getting one of these events on PEI. I've gotten half a dozen friends lined up to go see it. Tickets are bought.

Home Kent Business County News Article
The 114 room hotel will now be demolished to make way for the drive-thru restaurant, with car park, 16-pump petrol station, and shop.
The plans went Gravesham councillors last night.
In total there were 33 objection letters, 363 circular letters and a petition opposing the idea signed by 1,784 people.
Members of the regulatory board seemed keen to not grant permission, desperately seeking a legal way the plans could be turned down.
However, the plans were sound and no planning objections, including highway fears, could be found.
Cllr Lee Croxton said: "I think all of us would like to see a hotel, but unfortunately we have to determine what's in front of us now, according to planning law.
"If I could find a lawful reason, I would turn it down. I think it's going to be chaos, but there is no legal grounds. I have to support it".
Cllr John Burden asked: "Is there any highways objections we can use so we can say no?"
To which the answer was no.
In total, about 40 people attended the meeting to discover the decision.
Cllr Burden said: "We have to take the advice from our officers and I'm not willing to go against it."
The Tollgate Hotel was bought by the Highways Agency under a compulsory purchase order in November 2006 for £4.85 million when the A2 was widened.
Once that was finished, for several years it was offered for sale and marketed as a site suitable for continued hotel use.
The restaurant is likely to employ 65 staff. Deliveries of stock to McDonald's would roughly be three times a week.
The petrol station expects one delivery each day for both petrol and stock.
The plans have angered the owner of the existing BP petrol station on land opposite the Tollgate site, who was not informed of the idea by his supplier.
Simon Privett, who bought his garage in 1998, said he would cause as much trouble as he could and refuse to close, as BP wants.
Despite Mr Privett organising a petition, holding demonstrations and putting up signs, the planning officer said: "Competition between businesses or diversion of trade is not a material planning consideration.
"The question of need or whether there are too many already are also not material considerations to the determination of the planning application.
"It is considered that on balance there are no overriding reasons on planning policy, highway, design or other planning considerations to reject the current proposal."

fear issues are serious matters:) we applaud our selves by using only postive reinforement on helping owners and thier dogs with fear and aggression issues:) from your friends at k9katelynn..k9katelynn.com
Understanding the Foundation of Fear in Dogs
Understanding the physiological effects of fear on a dog's autonomic nervous system (ANS) is not just a bunch of big words tossed out to make me feel smart. Truth be told, it's sentences like that that make me grateful for spell check.
Fear can cause a dog to become more or LESS aggressive. When frightened, some animals will experience an increase in heart rate, others a decrease. It can vary within species based on the threat presented. Being less aggressive when frightened has proved to be such an effective response that some animals take it to an extreme. Some will display what is called 'tonic immobility'- think possums. That 'calm' or 'submissive' behavior is based less on animal's psychology and more on an immediate and dire response to a perceived life-threatening situation.
If your own psychology is making you feel proud every time you manage to get an animal to stop trying to escape or defend itself by using force or intimidation you are reveling in the fact that you've managed to scare them so thoroughly that another possible life-saving, out of their cognitive control, response has kicked in. Let this sink in for awhile. When we applaud trainers who proudly display this approach, whether on television, youtube or in person, we are not unlike spectators at the arena who cheered on gladiators as they slaughtered unarmed opponents or wild animals.
When I think of it that way, bowling seems like a better option all around.

It basically is explaining fearfulness can vary dogs responses, can make some dogs more apt to defend itself, or can cause others to shut down. Strong corrections can bring on fight or flight response when a dog feels threatened which can deter learning.

My amazing 6 dollar shoes
View LOVEUNDERLINED's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from LOVEUNDERLINED
Saturday, February 25, 2012
(My old, wide tennis shoes that got me through my weight loss.)
During high school and college, the only pair of tennis shoes I owned was a pair I bought for gym class. I was (and am) a hardcore Converse fiend. I'm not a shoe�connoisseur�in the least.
But when I acquired my elliptical in June of 2010, my mom took me to buy some actual tennis shoes. I knew I needed them, but despite being practically the only people in the store, I felt awkward trying on the shoes. All of them felt like they were crushing my feet, and I couldn't help but think it was because I weighed 220 pounds.
I finally settled on some ugly white Nike shoes. They were wider than most, so they felt more comfortable, even though they looked ridiculous. They were size 8 1/2 and $50. My mom graciously paid for them, so I used that fact as incentive to put them to good use.
The shoes were never snug on me, but that was okay. I was only using them on the elliptical�anyway. However, whenever I wore them out of the apartment (not often; I avoided it), I felt like I was wearing clown shoes. I even asked my friend Caito, "these look stupid, don't they?" She is fashionable and confirmed that they did. For example, here's me last July at Enchanted Forest�(I was about 133 pounds here):
(This witch's mouth haunted me as a kid.)
And here was our genius attempt at hiding my shoes with her awesome ones:
(This is the house from Hansel and Gretel; isn't it awesome?)
Anyway, I'm stingy and continued to wear the shoes despite the fact that I sort-of hated them and they were getting looser and looser. I just didn't want to pay for new ones.
But for my birthday last October, I got a little box in the mail. It was an orange, miniature shoebox, and it contained a $50 Nike card from Caito! She lives in Nebraska right now, so I waited until she was in town, then we made a trip to the Nike factory outlet store to find me some epic shoes.
They were having a sale on the day we went, which was a blessing and a curse. Some stuff was 30% off, but the store was swarming with people. It seemed like everyone decided to bring their children to the Nike store that day, and there was an overabundance of employees aimlessly walking down the aisles. All my visions of a leisurely shoe-finding trip went out the window, and I suddenly felt rushed. I just wanted to find the right shoes and get out of there, but trying on shoes is not the fastest process.
Luckily, I guess, I was pretty particular... I didn't even try on shoes that I considered ugly (I have that luxury now), and if I put on a pair that didn't feel right, I immediately took them off. But I was worried I wouldn't find any shoes that actually felt good.
To my relief, I found some that I liked. I was hoping for some turquoise or green�shoes,�but these were gray and yellow -- still better than pink. They were size 8, and they made my feet look thin, unlike the clown shoes.
(And no, I never wear matching socks. I consider it a waste of time, much like shaving.)
The original price on the box was $79.99. The sale was 30% off, so $56.00. After swiping my gift card, I handed the cashier 6 bucks. It was the best thing ever. 6 dollar shoes!
But I would've paid more for them if I had to, because they are so nice. They fit so snugly and comfortably that I forget I'm wearing them. Best of all, I can wear them in public. I actually feel somewhat like one of those fashionable, fit girls.
Only I'm still missing a sports bra that fits. I know. That must be rectified soon.

Teaching inequality: Notes on Piketty, Stiglitz and Harvey
The relevance of wealth and income inequality has been acknowledged by unorthodox writers for some time. The recent success of Piketty's book (2014) shows that the wider public is also interested in this issue. Piketty's 15-year program of empirical research conducted in conjunction with other scholars analyzed the evolution of income and wealth (which he calls capital) over the past three centuries in leading high-income countries. Among the lessons, he highlighted; Read more…

The Larry Summers' Memo
from Lars Syll
The Memo
DATE: December 12, 1991
TO: Distribution
FR: Lawrence H. Summers
Subject: GEP
'Dirty' Industries: Just between you and me, shouldn't the World Bank be encouraging MORE migration of the dirty industries to the LDCs [Less Developed Countries]? I can think of three reasons:
1) The measurements of the costs of health impairing pollution depends on the foregone earnings from increased morbidity and mortality. From this point of view a given amount of health impairing pollution should be done in the country with the lowest cost, which will be the country with the lowest wages. I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that. Read more…

Ethics, goals, and well-being
from Neva Goodwin
Twentieth century economics supported, implicitly when not explicitly, the idea that neither ethics nor history nor the institutions of law or culture were of much economic importance – as long as these things did not get in the way of "free" market functioning. This case was pressed with special vigor from about 1970 to the end of the 20th century by economists from what was known as the Chicago School.
Even early on in this period there began to be concern that individuals acting solely to achieve their personal goals could not be counted on to operate a business in ways that would be good for the business itself. This real-world concern, combined with the dogma that people only act on the basis of self-interest, resulted in various efforts to motivate business leaders by offering rewards for specific markers of success (such as the price of the company's stock). These efforts had the unintended consequence of escalating compensation of top management in the United States to levels that were many times greater than anything that had previously been considered normal (or were normal in other countries). They also resulted in an increasingly short-term vision on the part of business leaders. Very large scale frauds, Ponzi schemes, tax evasions, and environmental and human costs that businesses externalized during this period have made it increasingly evident that society cannot afford to encourage a culture of economic activity that ignores all normal human motivations except the selfish pursuit of personal gain.

Clockwork Justice?
from Peter Radford
One of the central beliefs held by people who advocate a market based worldview is that, somehow, markets are apolitical, they are antiseptic, they are objective. This is nonsense. It is dangerous nonsense.
That markets work according to rules does not make them objective or even impersonal. Rules are human constructs. Ergo markets are simple extensions of base human attitudes and are thus fraught with all the frailties that encumber all human activity.
The sanitization of markets, by which I mean the constant effort to make them appear "natural" or "neutral" and thus "fair", is an ideological cover that market ideologues desperately, and successfully, propagate. It is a cover to mask the consequences of this supposed naturalness and to give it the imprint of ethical cleanliness. After all if the outcomes of a market are simply those of nature working her course, who are we too argue?
Economists, or at least orthodox economists, are the great cheerleaders of this ruse to get us all to accept our fate. Over the course of the development of economics much work has been put in to the elucidation of the mechanics of markets. There is an overpowering sense of determinism in the result. Start here, crank the machinery, and let the outcomes just flop out. The market is such that any outcome is "correct", because left untouched market machinery always hones in on the superior outcome. Thus the current distribution of income "must" be the correct one: the market created it and the market is always, unerringly, right. Read more…
from Peter Radford
All the justified fuss over inequality in recent months begs a rather significant question doesn't it? If we are all so vexed over inequality we must have some yardstick or some more ideal state we could call equality. What is it?
The problem I have is that equality almost immediately disappears into a fog.
There are very few of us who would argue for the blandness of total equality. That seems to be as inhuman as extreme inequality. After all we are all very different and thus there is an inherent tendency towards lumpiness in society. Some people will always outperform others whilst some will underperform. Some will be richer and others poorer. This much is so simple we can move on quickly. After all we don't want to fall into the trap that has ensnared orthodox economists: they cannot do their work without expunging humanity from their equations. Else all that lumpiness gets in the way of the smooth operation of maximization, efficiency, and rationality. So they sweep it away peremptorily by making absurd assumptions and then pretend to have discovered something of extreme value about humanity. Ridiculous, I know, but they plod on stupidly despite it.
So what is equality in the context of our discussion of inequality? Read more…
Is medicine a model for ethics in economics?
from Peter Radford
A recent correspondent asks whether medicine could act as a template for the importation of ethical standards into economics. On balance I don't think it can. Here's why:
Medicine consists of a practical part that faces outward towards its customers. We call those customers patients. From the earliest times medicine has adopted the credo 'first do no harm' which forms the ethical bedrock for all subsequent standards. This is relatively easy to do since 'doing harm' is quite quickly identified. Even then such an ethical background failed to stop the development and implementation of some outrageous and harmful medical techniques. In the modern era the 'doing no harm' ethic has allowed the creation of a number of rules that govern doctor activity and provide a measure of protection to patients. Those rules are enforced by various governing bodies that not only establish and monitor the rules, but also govern the very process that allows someone to call themselves a doctor in the first place. This governance structure gives practical medicine a coherence and shape that are identifiable by the public, and ensures that the profession recognizes it relationship with society at large.

Skill or dumb luck?
from Peter Radford
Be very wary of anyone who claims that their wealth is the result of great skill. Or even hard work. Luck had to play a part. Usually a very significant part. And dumb luck ought not be the basis upon which we build intelligent, caring, or stable societies.
Be wary, also, of arguments against popular policies that include references to envy or jealousy. Being opposed to plutocracy does not necessarily imply either. Those arguments are old and have been used to undermine the moral authority of populism since democracy first reared its ugly head and disrupted the ease with which our leaders could syphon off wealth for their own enjoyment.
The two go hand in hand.
Populists will be accused of devaluing hard work and skill, and of stirring up the evil sentiment of envy that is presumed to lie close to the surface in the squalid and uneducated minds of the masses. By being both an advocate of sloth and jealousy a populist is easily and summarily dismissed as being irrelevant to policy discussions and properly ignored by serious analysts everywhere,
Where being serious means combining allegiance to the economic status quo with a suitable level of puritanical moral self-abuse. Read more…
"Such an economy kills"
from David Ruccio
The other day, I posted a few paragraphs from the new Roman Catholic Pope Francis's apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium (which translates as "The Joy of the Gospel").
I've now had a chance to read the entire text (available here), which seems to have gotten some notice around the world (although, best I can tell, there's still no comment from the likes of Paul Ryan, who would steal bread from the mouths of the poor in the name of saving them from anything but the market).
The document as a whole is a call to a new kind of evangelization on the part of Catholics, both clerical and lay. (On Michael Sean Winters's interpretation, "The Pope is calling the Church to be a missionary Church, an evangelizing Church, and the privileged path of fidelity to the Gospel is service to the poor.") The main sections on economics are located in chapter 2 ("Amid the Crisis of Communal Commitment") and chapter 4 ("The Social Dimension of Evangelization").
The paragraphs I posted before are from chapter 2, in which Francis identifies the nature of the world in which he is making his call for a new missionary church. Permit me to repeat them here: Read more…
How free markets corrode your character
from Lars Syll
For centuries, economists have argued that nothing beats a free market for efficiency. Unfettered competition leads to lower prices and better products, more innovation and greater choice. But market forces may also make people less ethical and more selfish.
There is no shortage of speculation on the topic by philosophers and social scientists. But the supply of empirical evidence on the topic has not kept up with the demand. Armin Falk and Nora Szech, two behavioural economists from Germany, have made a contribution.
In a series of experiments, a group of German volunteers were offered a choice between Read more…
Creating an Economics for the 21st Century
guest post from Rob Johnson
In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, many of our policy makers and top economists are still stumbling in the dark.
One needn't look far for proof. The symptoms of their failure are everywhere. Financial markets remain too volatile and crises too common. Inequality is raging and increasing around the globe. And environmental damage continues unabated, with rising climate volatility belying claims that we can experience sustained and broad based prosperity without major changes in the global economy.
A key part of this problem – and one that hasn't been adequately explored – is the economics profession. Read more…
Destroying the lair of the budget-balancing cretins
from Dean Baker
By now almost everyone knows of the famous Excel spreadsheet error by Harvard professors Carmen Reinhart and Ken Rogoff. It turns out that the main conclusions from their paper warning of the risks of high public sector debt were driven by miscalculations.
When the data are entered correctly, this hugely influential paper can no longer be used to argue that the United States or other wealthy countries need fear a large growth penalty by running deficits now. There is no obvious reason that governments can't increase spending on infrastructure, research, education and other services that will both directly improve people's lives and foster future growth.
With the advocates of austerity on the run this is a great time to pursue the attack. The public should understand that the often expressed concerns about long-term growth, the future, and the well-being of our children are simple fig-leafs for inhumane policies that deny people (a.k.a. the parents of our children) work and redistribute income upward.

Error Correction and Ethics
from Peter Radford
You probably have missed it, but there is a major furor within the economics profession concerning the findings of an academic paper written by Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff in 2010. The profession issues a torrent of papers annually, most of which remain scarcely read and massively under-appreciated. Probably deservedly so since the sole objective of most is to meet the check-box requirement of publication that dominates academia. This desperation to publish to build reputation and to demonstrate mastery of the subject to a determinedly self-referential peer group is one of the causes of the rapid decline within economics: it encourages ever more fragmentation of the subject into ever less relevant sub-disciplines, and has resulted in a near total elimination of a common understanding – or common memory – of its development.
It has also produced sloppiness.
The R-R paper has now become a cause-celebre of such sloppiness.
This would not normally be worthy of passing along to a broader audience – who cares what academic economists write after all? – were it not for the particular topic that R-R covered. Read more…
Standard & Poor's
from Peter Radford
It is good news that Standard & Poor's is being sued by the government. S&P was complicit in the market rigging that led us to the bubble and the destruction of a boatload of wealth. It has escaped, thus far, any serious damage from its involvement in the creation of crisis and deserves to be taken down a peg or two. The amount of damages being sought is roughly equivalent to one year's income of S&P's parent company McGraw-Hill. That's not enough to put the company out of business, but it is noticeable.
Anyone who is committed to a free market system will applaud the suit. Market rigging is about as serious a problem as can be imagined in a free market. Read more…
Wall Street speculation tax: a way to address corruption
from Dean Baker
Over the past week, the business news has been filled with stories about major British banks manipulating the LIBOR rate. While these stories are undoubtedly confusing to most of the public, which is not generally familiar with the intricacies of different interest rate indexes, the basic story is fairly simple: Big banks were caught lying about interest rates in order to make big profits.
For the most part the victims were other high-rollers who were taking the other side of bets on complex financial derivatives. However there were also pension funds and even governmental units such as school districts and park services that were persuaded by their financial advisers to get into this high-stakes game. These folks were among those who lost because of the LIBOR liars.

Bain Bashing – The Folly of Modern Business Theory
from Peter Radford
We are entering the season of Bain bashing. Rightly so too. Romney's long association with Bain and its activities, and his reliance on his business experience as a primary quality for election as president, bring Bain into focus. Its way of doing business, and its view of the world now need scrutiny because of the Romney connection. But I would suggest, they need scrutiny anyway. For Bain is just another of the very many manifestations of the post Reagan style of capitalism that pervades our economy. So its beliefs, its methods, and its results stand as exemplars of that era. Since that era just produced an economic depression, a great gulf in incomes, inequality, and rampant banking errors we are justified at offering a critique. If we indict Bain, we indict Romney. So let the Bain bashing commence. Read more…
A Reply: Economics and Ethics
from Peter Radford
A correspondent of mine suggests we need to define both economics and ethics better if we are to resolve my ongoing angst with the state of the two combined.
This is true.
Ethics is, I think, well defined. The literature is full of notions of ethics and its evolution. Behavior that was once ethical is no longer so. Behavior that was once unethical is now acceptable. Clearly ethics is a relative and socially determined concept with changing views altering where its boundaries are. Currently there are behaviors falling outside those boundaries that economists seem blithely to continue to accept. This I attribute to the general out of date nature of the discipline. Remember that economics has successfully sealed itself off from reality, other disciplines, and society at larger for a while now. Instead it has taken on board its own vision of society, its own view of human nature, and its own calculus of how people interact. This allows it to have its own ethical standards separate from those being developed in the outside world.
Thus economists can genuinely argue that competitive pressures will reduce the incidence of unethical behavior. After all they invoke those pressures to resolve practically every other social problem, so why not ethics? Those of us less convinced by the ubiquity and efficacy of market forces would prefer to see a more interventionist element to ethics – a set of rules perhaps – to establish boundaries of behavior.
This is problem enough. More problematic is defining what economics is at all. Read more…

PAUL GIGOT: Winners and losers, picks and pans. We call it Tony and Tacky, our choices for the best and worst of the week.
The last time we visited Ukraine, the demonstrators in the streets were forcing a re-run of the rigged election. Now the results have been reversed in the new election, and the new loser is appealing. Dan Henninger thinks this deserves a tacky.
DAN HENNINGER: I certainly do. Barbara Boxer, meet Viktor Yanukovych. Viktor Yanukovych was the loser in the most recent Ukrainian election, the one they re-ran and the one that had about a zillion international observers. Yanukovych is now suing and the Ukrainian Supreme Court saying the election was fraudulent. Just this week, Barbara Boxer was standing in the well of the U.S. Senate contesting the vote in Ohio which was seen by thousands and thousands of lawyers. I think Barbara Boxer is guilty of American cultural imperialism. We are leading the losers in elections all over the world to think any time that things go badly, sue, challenge, call it fraud.
PAUL GIGOT: You know, John Kerry did not support that effort in the Senate, and so I'd give him a tony on this one for statesmanship. Thanks, Dan.
The Palestinian election campaign to replace Yassir Arafat is winding down to Sunday's election, and Rob Pollock sees positive signs in this and other progress toward democracy. Rob?
ROB POLLOCK: Oh yeah, I'd like to give a tony to an old concept called democracy and to everybody who is working to extend its frontiers to the Middle East. I mean, on Sunday we have the Palestinian elections, later in the month we have Iraq. And one person who deserves special credit here is President Bush, who put this right at the center of his agenda in the aftermath of 9/11 and endured a lot of ridicule for that. I mean, there's a lot of people who think that the Arabs aren't capable of governing themselves and therefore we ought to just deal with the local strongman. But people said the same things about the Asians and about Catholic countries before that. And I think we should all be hoping that this Sunday is the beginning of the pessimists being proved wrong about the Arabs as well.
PAUL GIGOT: You know, I lived in Asia when it was said that Confucian values couldn't tolerate democracy. Now we have democracies in South Korea, Taiwan and other places. And let's hope it happens in the Middle East. Thanks, Rob.
And finally, speaking of democracy, Kim Strassel has mixed feelings about the latest lawsuit against reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in school. Kim?
KIM STRASSEL: Well, some people might remember Michael Newdow, who was the father who sued to have the words "under God" removed from the Pledge of Allegiance. And the Court threw it out on a technicality, because he didn't have custody of his child. But this week, he and a number of other parents have sued again. Now, I love the Pledge of Allegiance and don't believe, along with most Americans, that there's a constitutional issue. But that being said, courts do exist to give us guidance on these questions. And what the Court did last year was a pretty major cop out. So a very reluctant tony to Mr. Newdow and his friends for filing this again. And my sincere hope that he is in the court room gritting his teeth when the Marshall opens the session with the tradition words, "God save the United States and this court."
PAUL GIGOT: The gift that keeps on giving to journalists, Michael Newdow. Thanks, Kim. That's it for this edition of THE JOURNAL EDITORIAL REPORT. Thank you from all of us. We hope you'll join us again next week.

Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) August 06, 2014
Every Friday from now until mid-October, visitors and locals can enjoy live al fresco jazz music in Newport Beach, California at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach Summer Concert Series.
"We are pleased to be hosting this phenomenal event at our renovated, world-class property again this summer," said Daniel Kuperschmid, General Manager of the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach. "Our intimate venue, delicious food, and great music make this event a compelling experience for both local residents and visiting guests looking for the perfect summer evening. We have an exciting lineup of musicians that attendees will love."
Starting in June, the series is hosted at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Newport Beach and includes 15 shows from popular top-performers, sure to please all tastes — from Macy Gray and Natalie Cole to Average White Band and Brian Culbertson.
The full-list of performers coming up include the following:
Concerts take place in the one-of-a-kind intimate venue that is the Rose Garden Amphitheater at Hyatt Regency Newport Beach. With grass carpeted steps and seating for just 1,000 in a lush garden, guests can listen to tunes while overlooking the serene Back Bay Nature Preserve, located at Jamboree and Pacific Coast Highway.
Each concert begins at varied times around sunset, either 7pm, 7:30pm or 8pm and ends at 10 p.m., however guests can arrive at 6 p.m. and experience plenty of vendors offering up food, drinks and more.
There's also a VIP Hospitality Suite set up exclusively for season ticket holders — complete with a roast beef carving station for sandwiches, other munchies and a bartender serving up a variety of wines — that can be enjoyed outdoors at tables and chairs amid local residents and visitors.
Concertgoers can also opt to arrive even earlier and head to the new SHOR restaurant — part of a recently-completed property-wide redo that included the hotel's 400-plus guest rooms and suites and grounds — to enjoy a three-course seafood dinner prepared by Executive Chef Leo Gianulis and wine (available for pre-purchase for $58).
The series has been getting the audience on their feet for one month so far, "It's a fun, easy-going experience," says longtime concert attendees Suzanne Franco and Keith Ogata of Anaheim Hills. "The intimate atmosphere is fantastic, and it's always a relaxing time after the end of a hectic week. Nothing could be better than coming down to the wonderful weather of Newport Beach."
Individual tickets range from $55-$110, depending on the date and seating tier, with self-parking for $25 ($20 in advance) and valet for $35 ($30 in advance). Season passes can be purchased for $1,730 and include tickets to all 15 shows and VIP benefits including assigned premium seating, complimentary valet service and access to the VIP Hospitality Suite.
