An article published in 2011 in Forbes is making the rounds again and people are talking, but despite the dust on the copy, it's a timely conversation. The article by Brendan Coffey reveals that there are four companies that control 147 other companies and those 147 companies control virtually everything. So in other words, control of world markets is quite concentrated.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Slowly, Americans are waking up to see the nation is slipping further into plutocracy where a few wealthy people manipulate politics and markets to perpetually enrich themselves. This is how free-markets work, but without moral checks on greed, plutocracy emerges and opportunity for the individual evaporates.
This is the simple outline of the problem, and while we can bog ourselves down in minutiae, the bottom line is the same. Plutocrats at the top have become so wealthy and powerful they are beginning to pull the ladder up behind them, leaving millions of Americans without much hope of moving up the social ladder. The American Dream is evaporating as we awaken.
Let's support the spread of morals to counteract greed. Better decisions come from moral education.
That Americans are awakening to this is what makes the article penned by Brendan Coffey in 2011 so timely. According to Coffey, researchers built a digital model of 37 million companies and their connections which surprisingly showed that these millions of companies are controlled by just 147 firms. Those 147 dominant firms are themselves controlled by just four much larger firms.
None of this is engineered deliberately, it's just the product of rich people doing what they do to get richer.
Coffey wrote: "You can see where I'm headed here. That means the real power to control the world lies with four companies: McGraw-Hill, which owns Standard & Poor's, Northwestern Mutual, which owns Russell Investments, the index arm of which runs the benchmark Russell 1,000 and Russell 3,000, CME Group which owns 90% of Dow Jones Indexes, and Barclay's, which took over Lehman Brothers and its Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, the dominant world bond fund index. Together, these four firms dominate the world of indexing. And in turn, that means they hold real sway over the world's money."
Coffey then explains how these companies can manipulate indexes and other indicators which gives them a powerful influence on the world market. You can read his full article here, which in turn links back to others to support his conclusions.
Ultimately, we live in a much more economically homogenous world than we think. Those four companies are dominated by powerful stakeholders creating a power elite that is virtually untouchable.
Conspiracy theorists might be on to something when they claim that most of the world's decisions are made by a small group of perhaps a few dozen men, although there's no active conspiracy going on. Each plutocrat has just one desire, which is to enrich and empower themselves, even at the expense of their fellow billionaires. They are by no means loyal to one another.
But there's much more to this than that. When the elites number in the dozens, and power is concentrated in their hands, it leaves very little in share of voice for the people. This is becoming painfully evident in the United States, a nation which is supposed to be a republic and where people elect representatives to govern themselves. Unfortunately, the entire process is awash in corporate cash and the politicians are bought and owned by their sponsors.
Recent studies have shown that even when corporate will and public will are at odds, it is the corporate will that won legislative battle much more often. Now, elections only offer the illusion of choice as opposed to genuine choice and no matter what the people want or say, the corporate money does all the deciding.
What's most ironic about all this is that for all their wealth and power, the plutocrats are eroding the very foundation of their wealth, which is the middle class. Inequality is rising sharply and the middle class is shrinking. While we can blame President Obama, or the American welfare state, or the rise of tuition, or low minimum wages and so on, these are all red herrings. Even Obama is just a puppet of the elites.
The heart of the problem is that there is no more moral compass which governs decision making on behalf of the plutocrats. Historically, even plutocrats listened to the Church, or their American values when making decisions. Take for example Henry Ford who insisted on paying his workers enough to allow them to buy the cars they built. There are no more Henry Fords today.
Billionaire Nick Hanauer in the current issue of Politico Magazine said as much in his article, "The Pitchforks Are Coming. For Us Plutocrats." As inequality grows and the middle class disappears, the foundation of a stable society erodes, and the likelihood of civil unrest and tectonic economic upheaval grows.
Of course, it's not like the elites don't see this coming-they do, but it's human nature to ignore the threat until it's too late. Consider the first batch of aristocrats beheaded during the French Revolution. If they believed for a moment they had a date with the scaffold, they would have fled the country well before their own people turned against them.
In France, all it took was a single bad year and a government too broke to buy bread for the people, and within days to weeks, the revolution was out of control beyond anything the royal family or First Estate could do. It can happen faster than you think.
Today's plutocrats would probably contract themselves to build their own scaffold. This is why we need a moral revolution at the top, before pitchforks appear in the streets.
Having four companies in control of everything, even if by extension, is dangerous especially if the people who make decisions in those companies lack the morality to restrain their greed and ensure the social ladder stays in place behind them. It's tempting to pull the ladder up behind you and enjoy all the cake for yourself, except that history shows us that strategy never works.
We're headed into perilous times, distracted by celebrity worship, sporting extravaganzas, and hyped political scandals that approach reality-show heights in terms of drama. Meanwhile, the real scandal is the fact that our government has mortgaged the future of our nation while playing for the next election cycle, all at the behest of their corporate masters who operate behind the scenes in Washington and around the world.
It's public disengagement and unrestrained greed that have created a perfect storm of circumstances where just a few dozen men, controlling four companies, have become the economic masters of the world. In doing what they do, they have started consuming the middle class of American society in a bid to become yet more rich and powerful because this is the nature of greed.
Unfortunately, our nation may likely be just one bad year away from collapse. In 1787, the young King Louis XVI knew he faced some significant economic challenges, but he had no imagining that he was just months away from total disaster.
The warning signs are there, but nobody who can do anything is heeding them, so let us pray that when the difficulties come we remember our morals and use the opportunity to create a better future.

Jeff Scott has Ole Miss offense up and running
OXFORD — Ole Miss first-year football coach Hugh Freeze had a laundry list of concerns after spring practice last April. First and foremost was whether his uptempo offense would work.
"We couldn't run the ball coming out of spring," Freeze said. "We'd lost both of our offensive tackles to the NFL, one being drafted and one as a free agent. You have to be able to run in the SEC to win."
Seven games into this season with the Rebels at 4-3 overall and 1-2 in the league heading into Saturday's 11:21 a.m. game against Arkansas in Little Rock, Ole Miss is fourth in the league in rushing, averaging 211.1 yards with 17 touchdowns, which is five more rushing TDs than the Rebs scored all of last season when they averaged 129.6 yards on the ground.
It has helped that Ole Miss has been able to start the same offensive line for all seven games this year. Maintaining such chemistry has been vital.
But the biggest reason the Rebels suddenly have a viable ground game is junior Jeff Scott, who's playing some of the best football of his career. Scott, just 5-7, 170 pounds, gained 100 or more yards in each of his last two games — 137 yards in a win over Auburn and 108 in a loss to Texas A & M, with 21 carries both games.
He ranks fourth in the SEC in rushing, averaging 93.7 yards per game, and he has six touchdowns in the last five games, impressive stats for someone who supposedly doesn't have the bulk to survive poundings from physical SEC defenses.
"I read about that (perceived lack of size) all the time, and it bothers me," Scott said. "But it makes me work harder. The coaches know what I can do and my teammates know what I can do.
"It's why I play that much harder, I play with that chip on my shoulder to prove everybody wrong — that I am durable."
His teammates, even new ones like starting quarterback Bo Wallace, have never doubted Scott's ability.
"Jeff's an explosive player, and we've probably got to get the ball more in his hands," said Wallace, who saw Scott turn a simple catch of a Wallace pass into a 55-yard game-breaking TD in the win over Auburn to snap Ole Miss's 16-game SEC losing streak.
"He's becoming a much smarter player. If we need to run some clock, you see him run and then get down on the ground inbounds."

CSS: Page Layouts introduces basic layout concepts, gives advice on how to create properly structured HTML based on prototypes and mockups, and goes into critical page layout skills such as floats and positioning. Author James Williamson shows how to combine these techniques to create fixed, fluid, and responsive layouts. Designers are also shown how to enhance their pages through the creative use of CSS techniques like multi-column text, opacity, and the background property. Exercise files are included with this course.
In this chapter, we're going to focus on building fixed layouts, and we've worked with fixed layouts already, and for the most part we've discussed all the concepts that you need to know in order to create them. So our focus here will be on defining exactly what a fixed layout is, and on the issues that you're going to need to consider when you're thinking about using them. So fixed layouts are layouts that are set to an overall fixed size that doesn't react to changes like browsers being resized or device-orientation changes. In fact, in their pure form, fixed layouts really don't care about things like the width of the browser window, what device they are on, or how the site is being viewed.
Most fixed-width layouts start with an overall width value that's applied to the body tag or to a wrapper element that surrounds the site's content. The side is then centered or aligned based on personal preference. Interior spacing is then defined for container elements at values that divide up the available space. Element spacing is typically controlled through the use of margins or padding, and the resulting values will typically add up to the overall defined width. Most fixed-width sites are designed with the desktop in mind. As such, the average target size has increased over the years.
Now, originally designers targeted 640x480 monitors, which increased to 1024x768, and has currently grown to occasionally targeting 1280x960. Regardless of which size you're targeting, most designers set the width to a value slightly smaller than the target size to allow for things like browser chrome or maybe floating browser windows that aren't maximized. Many layouts currently target around 960 pixels, which would still be visible on the 1024x768 monitor.
Now, like any technique, there are pros and cons to using fixed layouts. Fixed layouts tend to be easier to create and require less code than other layout types. You're only targeting one size, so you have less to consider when designing and writing the layout. You also have a greater amount of control over the visual aspect of your design. Since elements are fixed in place, it's a little easier to create pixel-precise layouts that look exactly the way that you want them to. Because they don't change, they also provide a consistent look and feel for the user.
There are of course some downsides to using fixed layouts. Their very nature means that they don't adapt to other devices or smaller browser windows, meaning that users sometimes have a less-than-optimal experience, due to increased scrolling or content being cut off. On larger monitors, smaller fixed layouts can look lost, with large amounts of empty space surrounding the layout. They are also tied to the very rigid nature. An element-spacing problem that might even go undetected on a flexible layout could potentially break a fixed layout, meaning that small changes to layouts have to be very thoroughly tested.
Now, as a designer, you should keep all these points in mind when deciding on whether to use a fixed layout or not. The recent explosion of mobile devices means that fixed layouts to some degree ignore a significant part of a site's potential user base. Later on, we're going to explore creating flexible layouts that change when resized and responsive layouts that change based on factors such as screen size, orientation, and resolution. For now, let's take a closer look at building fixed layouts.

Oakland is a leading green energy city.
When looking to bring your moving boxes to a new place, you may consider many factors in your transition. The choices can vary, but you may want to be a part of something that fits you. If you value a city that is a leader in green technology and energy efficiency, then there may be plenty of options available. Whether you plan on grabbing a job at an energy-efficient office, or you are more interested in getting into the research and development aspect of the market, these cities may be attractive options.
A city that is quite invested in energy efficiency is Boston. The area is a hub for smart city development initiatives, according to FastCoExist.com. This is helped by the fact that the city is filled with higher education institutions, as approximately 70 are located in the local area. There is also more than $1 billion invested in research and development each year by the several schools.
The city is also a hub for entrepreneurs, which helps further research in the city, as many are connected to the local government to improve overall efficiency, the website noted.
The Windy City may be an attractive option for many people looking for a new place to live. Not only for its large number of activities and places to visit, but it is also a popular green energy destination. The city has been working with green technology for more than 100 years, according to the Mother Nature Network. When it comes to modern technology, the city also has a host of new programs, including the Chicago Green Roof Program. This involves a host of roof tops throughout the city growing plant life.
The Pacific Northwest is also home to a city that prides itself on smart technology. Seattle is consistently improving its technological and ecological status, as it has taken many measures that include using social media to find stolen cars, as well as radio-frequency identification for determining waste issues, FastCoExist.com explained. The city is also exceptionally green, and has been atop energy-efficient city pioneer.
California is no stranger to green energy, and traveling to many areas could put you in a place that prides itself on being green. One of these cities is Oakland. Currently, the city is taking significant strides to be a top destination for green energy in the near future, as it wants to be independent of oil usage in the next seven years, Mother Nature Network explained. At present, nearly one-fifth of the city's energy comes from renewable resources.
Not to mention, you may not have to buy bottled water here. Oakland has the cleanest tap water in the country, the website noted.
Los Angeles
Another California city is also a national leader in energy efficiency. Los Angeles is improving its energy situation at a rapid pace, according to FastCoExist.com. This is notable, as the city is not typically known for being green-friendly. In recent years, the area increased pathways for both cyclists and those just walking around in order to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.
Incentives are also a popular aspect to the city's energy efficiency ratings, the website added. The city is fourth in the world in incentive cities ranking. Many entrepreneurs are present in the city, and these initiatives have more than $80 million in funding.

The second lawsuit over a case of "twitter-squatting" has ended just a month after it was filed. Coventry First, a company that operates in a controversial corner of the life insurance business, has backed off its demands to get the identity of an anonymous Twitter user critiquing its business.
Coventry First operates in the secondary market for life insurance policies, also known as the "viatical" business. That allows investors to essentially bet that a person's life insurance policy will be collected earlier than expected, putting companies like Coventry First in the awkward position of profiting from the untimely deaths of its customers. The critic, who was operating with the Twitter handle @CoventryFirst but now goes by @CoventryFirstIn, wrote tweets that criticize this aspect of Coventry First's business.
But Coventry First has backed off and dropped its lawsuit, according to a blog post published today by Paul Levy, an attorney with Public Citizen. Levy said in an e-mail to paidContent that he began representing the anonymous user behind @CoventryFirst when she reached out to him after receiving a notice of subpoena from Twitter.
Levy was set to file a motion to quash Coventry First's demand for the user's identity this morning, which he says could have resulted in the company being sanctioned for discovery misconduct. But late yesterday, Coventry First dismissed its lawsuit. Levy's anonymous client also changed her account to be more compliant with Twitter guidelines–first, by changing her handle so that it wasn't the exactly name of the company she was criticizing; and second, by adding a note to the account's profile noting that it is a "Parody Site."
As Twitter grows into one of the dominant platforms for online speech, how the company reacts to legal claims against its users–especially legally tenuous ones, like Coventry First's claim that its trademark rights were being abused–is being closely watched. Generally the company has a good reputation for protecting its users' privacy, including their right to speak anonymously.
In his post, Levy says that while Twitter certainly has the right to create its own rules above and beyond trademark law, he is worried those rules may be too "rigid" in that they urge users not to mimic the exact name of the company or person they're criticizing. "[T]o the extent that Twitter's policy prevents the parodic use of the mark as the Twitter name, it may hamper Twitter users who want to take advantage of the search function to bring their criticisms more forcefully to public attention," writes Levy.
The @CoventryFirstIn Twitter account has only 16 followers. There's little doubt that by filing suit, Coventry First brought more attention to the critic than she could have garnered by herself.
Coventry First didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about the lawsuit. Twitter has a policy of not commenting on disputes regarding specific accounts.

AP Top News at 11:49 p.m. EST
WASHINGTON (AP) - Seeking an elusive middle ground, President Barack Obama is proposing a 2014 budget that embraces tax increases abhorred by Republicans as well as reductions, loathed by liberals, in the growth of Social Security and other benefit programs. The plan, if ever enacted, could touch almost all Americans. The rich would see tax increases, the poor and the elderly would get smaller annual increases in their benefits, and middle income taxpayers would slip into higher tax brackets despite Obama's repeated vows not to add to the tax burden of the middle class. His proposed changes, once phased in, would mean a cut in Social Security benefits of nearly $1,000 a year for an average 85-year-old, smaller cuts for younger retirees.

Some changes are dramatic, others subtle—but there is no question that our coasts and marinedependent communities are undergoing profound change. Scientists who study the oceans and coasts see indications that even greater change is coming between now and the end of the century. With thoughtful planning we can minimize the harm to our communities, businesses, and lifestyles, and in some cases we may find ways to benefit from change.

Prices retreated the following year and the concern about fuel efficiency diminished. In 2011 prices began climbing again, and analysts say that the supply and demand factors point to a coming era of fuel prices substantially higher than previously experienced in the United States. Research organizations in the United States and abroad conduct studies on ways to cut fuel costs. Formal research and operational experience point to technological and operational measures that can help vessel owners save fuel. This report summarizes results from published studies and experiences reported by commercial vessel operators on ways to reduce fuel consumption and save money. It is intended to do the following: 1. Briefly outline how fuel energy is consumed in a fishing vessel and the implications for finding fuel savings. 2. Describe results of research into vessel energy efficiency. 3. List some emerging technologies, existing technologies currently in application outside of the fishing industry, and technologies and classes of products that are being touted as helpful in saving fuel but are impractical, unproven, or proven to be ineffective. 4. Describe some proven methods for achieving improved efficiency that are realistic for fishing operations. 5. Summarize the concept of a fishing vessel energy audit. pdf pdf by Terry Johnson Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program University of Alaska Fairbanks 1007 W. 3rd Ave., Suite 100 Anchorage, AK 99501 (907) 274-9695 email@example.com ALASKA SEA GRANT MARINE ADVISORY PROGRAM ASG-57 2011 doi:10.4027/fsmfiv.2011 pdf Saving Fuel on Your Recreational or Charter Boat Terry Johnson 8 pp. | 8.5 x 11 Fuel-Saving Measures for Fishing Industry Vessels Terry Johnson 16 pp. | 8.5 x 11 Tips to Reduce Fuel Costs for Your Boat 11 x 17 | Poster ASG-56 | $1.00 PDF | Free ASG-57 | $1.00 PDF | Free SG-ED-63 | Free PDF | Free Save Money on Boat Fuel Brochure SG-ED-62 | 50¢ PDF | Free 10 Easy, secure online shopping cart at AlaskaSeaGrant.org COMMERCIAL FISHING SAFETY & SURVIVAL New Editio 7th Edition n oon Coming S pdf Beating the Odds: A Guide to Fishing Safety, 7th edn Susan Clark Jensen and Jerry Dzugan 5.5 x 8.5 | Softcover book ISBN 978-1-56612-178-1 Defensive Diving: What Every Tender Should Know about Dive Harvest Safety Ellen Frankenstein 28 minutes | DVD Fishing Vessel Stability: Operational Practices Deborah Mercy, director 20 minutes | DVD Knowledge and Tools to Prevent Sinking Deborah Mercy and Jerry Dzugan, directors 14 minutes | DVD Flooding Control: MAPV-63D $20.00 Stability problems account for 35% of all vessel losses.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al Qaeda's leader in Iraq who led a bloody insurgency of suicide bombings and kidnappings, was killed in an airstrike north of Baghdad.
President Bush welcomed the news of the killing of al-Zarqawi by military forces in Iraq.
Al-Zarqawi's death "is a severe blow to al Qaeda, and it is a significant victory in the war on terror," Bush said in a news conference at the White House.
"We have tough days ahead of us in Iraq that will require the continuing patience of the American people," he said.
Earlier today, Iraq's prime minister in Baghdad confirmed al-Zarqawi's death.
"Today, al-Zarqawi has been eliminated," Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Kamel al-Maliki said in Arabic amid cheers at a news conference this morning, with U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and U.S. Gen. George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, at his side.
Al Qaeda in Iraq confirmed the death of the group's leader, according to an Islamist Web site posting.
Al-Zarqawi, the prime minister said, was killed along with seven others, including his spiritual adviser Sheik Al Rahman, Wednesday night, while meeting at an isolated house in the volatile province of Diyala, just east of the provincial capital of Baqouba. Diyala is 30 miles northeast of Baghdad.
Al-Zarqawi's death came six days after the Jordanian-born terror leader appeared in a videotape, urging Sunnis to engage in sectarian violence against Shiites in Iraq.
A secretive organization called Task Force 145, made up of some of the most elite U.S. troops, had one goal: hunting down al-Zarqawi.
U.S. forces and their allies came close to capturing al-Zarqawi several times since his campaign began in mid-2003.
The task force narrowly missed capturing him in April 2006 in a raid about 20 miles southwest of Baghdad.
His closest brush may have come in late 2004. Deputy Interior Ministry Maj. Gen. Hussein Kamal said Iraqi security forces caught al-Zarqawi near the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah but then released him because they didn't realize who he was.
In May 2005, online statements by his group said Zarqawi had been wounded in fighting with Americans and was being treated in a hospital abroad - raising speculation over a successor among his lieutenants. But days later, a statement said al-Zarqawi was fine and had returned to Iraq. There was never any independent confirmation of the reports of his wounding.
U.S. forces believe they just missed capturing al-Zarqawi in a Feb. 20, 2005 raid in which troops closed in on his vehicle west of Baghdad near the Euphrates River. His driver and another associate were captured and al-Zarqawi's computer was seized along with pistols and ammunition.
U.S. troops twice launched massive invasions of Fallujah, the stronghold used by al-Qaeda in Iraq fighters and other insurgents west of Baghdad. An April 2004 offensive left the city still in insurgent hands, but the October 2004 assault wrested it from them. However, al-Zarqawi -- if he was in the city -- escaped.

Potential bench-clearing brawl between Nationals and Cubs turned into a bench-clearing shoving match
Originally written on No Guts, No Glory | Last updated 9/7/12
Benches cleared after Cubs pitcher Lendy Castillo threw inside on Bryce Harper. But once teams gathered on the diamond, all they were able to muster was a little yapping and shoving. Things seemed to have calmed down when more yapping and shoving broke out at first base. Meanwhile Nationals announcers are going on and on about the Cubs "throwing at a teenager" and wondering why certain Cubs players have not been ejected. [MLB] The post Potential bench-clearing brawl between Nationals and Cubs turned into a bench-clearing shoving match first appeared on No Guts, No Glory.

I wish the finished product was shown. It is hard to picture how it will turn out. The video is helpful but a still picture on the directions would be great!

Where is it from?
- A Place & Date Used Melbourne, Australia
Satchel - Brown Leather, Croatia, circa 1940s Reg. No: HT 952
- Summary:
- Alternative Name(s): Briefcase
Leather satchel used by Helen Ilich during her time as a teacher in Croatia and then brought out with her to Australia, to use as a teacher in Melbourne.
Helen migrated to Melbourne from Croatia in 1953 with her two children, her husband already having arrived. She had always wanted to be an artist but rarely had the opportunity or parental support to pursue her passion. This continued in Australia but she found a degree of artistic outlet by working in three ceramic studios around Melbourne - Ellis, Isobel (a small independent business) and Guy Boyd's studio which she particularly enjoyed. Helen later joined the Heidelberg Artists' Society and taught painting at home, producing many works of her own.
- Description:
- Brown leather satchel, with a small handle at the top. There are two pockets on the front of the satchel and a brass clasp to hold the flap in place.
- Acquisition Information:
- Donation from Mrs Nina Chelleri, 2002
|24.00 cm (Height), 6.50 cm (Width), 32.50 cm (Length)
