Obama Dragged Down by Chaos at Home and Abroad, not by the Economy
"Why do you think President Obama's job rating is falling, even though the economy is recovering?" the interviewer asked.
It's a fair question, even though the economy declined 2.9 percent in the first quarter, even though most jobs created in June were part-time, and even though labor force participation remains low.
The fact is that the economy is growing, however slowly; jobs are being created, and the unemployment rate is heading down toward what economists consider full employment. And still the president's job rating languishes.
What's wrong with the question is an assumption embedded within it, that what voters seek most from government and political officeholders is economic growth. I think there's something they value even more: the maintenance of order.
This isn't what I was taught in political science classes. Political scientists who had grown up in the 1930s' Depression taught that politics was about "who gets what, when and how."
Operating on that assumption, political scientists developed rules that explained past election outcomes as a function of economic variables — how much the economy grew in the second quarter of the election year, for example.
Those rules generally worked pretty well at predicting future elections — until they didn't.
What they don't explain very well are the political upheavals that come when voters perceive that the nation and the world are in disarray. Americans, blessed with a mostly happy history, tend to take fundamental order for granted. They recoil and rebel when things spin out of control.
Example: The political scientists taught that the big shift toward Democrats in 1874 was a response to the financial panic of 1873. Sort of like the Great Depression.
But further study convinces me it was a rebellion against Ulysses Grant's military occupation of the South to protect blacks' rights. Voters tired of violence voted for the anti-black Democrats, who held House majorities for 14 of the next 20 years and won the popular vote for president in five of six presidential elections in those years.
Or consider Republicans' "back to normalcy" victory in 1920. This was a response to disorder at home (dizzying inflation and depression, waves of strikes, terrorist bombings) and abroad (Communist revolutions, continued fighting in Russia and the Middle East, rejection of Woodrow Wilson's League of Nations).
Closer to our times, Jimmy Carter was rejected in 1980 as the nation faced not only stagflation (inflation-plus-recession) at home and but also an "arc of instability" abroad. Americans, unlike voters in many other countries, demand the maintenance of order in the world as well in their own nation. From the early days of the republic, there has been an unspoken awareness that what happens in the world affects their own lives.
In the 19th century, American merchants went out into the Mediterranean, American whalers to the Pacific, American missionaries to China and the Middle East.
American troops followed. The Navy and Marines went after the Barbary pirates on the shores of Tripoli. American gunboats opened Japan to the world in 1854 and were stationed on rivers in China from the 1840s to the 1930s.
Which brings us to today. Many things seem to be spinning out of control. Important government agencies are malfunctioning — the Internal Revenue Service, Veterans Affairs. Obamacare is producing higher health care premiums and is on track to deliver more.
Tens of thousands of underage and some not-so-underage Central American illegal immigrants are streaming across the Rio Grande, and the government is flying them to parts unknown — and sending 38 back to their home countries.
Abroad things are even worse. In Syria there is violent civil war, and next door in Iraq terrorists are proclaiming a caliphate. Israel has been forced to launch a ground attack on the terrorist Hamas regime in Gaza.
A Malaysian airliner cruising at 33,000 feet over Ukraine has been brought down by a rocket, probably by thugs armed by Vladimir Putin's Russia.
The president, in-between fundraisers, has time for a photo-op playing pool in Colorado, but not for one on the border. He has time for only two sentences on the airliner shoot-down before a photo-op and two more fundraisers. First things first.
Not everything spinning out of control is the president's fault. But his responses so far have confirmed voters' sense that the nation and the world are in disarray.
This, not economic sluggishness, is why he and his party are in trouble.

It was just a normal day on YouTube when i was watching a pewdiepie video and the computer froze. Not knowing what to do i clicked on the screen a few times. Still nothing happened. After a few more clicks the screen went black. Thinking i broke my computer i started getting a bit scared. Continuing to frantically click the screen.
The screen turned white and i sighed out relieved thinking the computer was fixed, but instead of my pages coming back up it was just a play button. Like a regular YouTube video in full screen. Thinking it was possibly my video i was already watching i clicked play.
Instead of seeing pewdie on the screen it was an empty dusty room. Like all the rooms in Amnesia there was a old wood chair in the middle of the room. I moved the mouse around the screen looking to find the button to exit out of full screen. I tried to hit the escape button but the screen wouldn't go down.

starter 3. pax southIt'd been a bright and early morning when Mark'd woken up at his hotel. He actually overslept by a few minutes, so he only had time to eat some rushed pancakes from the hotel lobby before racing with Bob and Wade to the Bobcat Theater. They got there a minute late, and already there were people streaming into the place, practically on the edges of their seats wanting to see them. It never ceased to amaze Mark how much his fans adored him; he always felt like he wasn't good enough or didn't deserve all of this attention. It was a phenomenal thing to be a role model to so many, but of course a huge responsibility. Mark actually stopped Bob and Wade on their way inside, and told them to tone down their profanity and keep calm while on stage so that things could go without a hitch and as many questions as possible could be answered. He hadn't known if there were going to be kids in there or not, and he didn't want to take any chances.

Wanna kill yourself? Imagine this.
You come home from school one day. You've had yet another horrible day. You're just ready to give up. So you go to your room, close the door, and take out that suicide note you've written and rewritten over and over and over You take out those razor blades, and cut for the very last time. You grab that bottle of pills and take them all. Laying down, holding the letter to your chest, you close your eyes for the very last time.
A few hours later, your little brother knocks on your door to come tell you dinners ready. You don't answer, so he walks in. All he sees is you laying on your bed, so he thinks you're asleep. He tells your mom this. Your mom goes to your room to wake you up. She notices something is odd. She grabs the paper in your hand and reads it. Sobbing,

Broadcasters Bet on Sports As First Step In New Markets
By GERALDINE FABRIKANT
Published: March 4, 1996
In India, where World Cup cricket captivates the sporting public the way the Super Bowl does in the United States, 10 million cable television households had access last week to 200 hours of televised matches through Star Sports, a joint venture of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation and John C. Malone's Tele-Communications Inc.
Those who cared only about the home team could switch to the rival programmer, the Walt Disney Company's ESPN International, which was showing "India Victorious," highlights of the Indian national team's past matches. ESPN has obtained the rights to all the team's matches outside World Cup competition from the Board of Cricket Control of India.
The fact that neither Star Sports nor ESPN International expects to turn a profit from its cricket coverage is almost beside the point. In the sticky wicket of international television sports coverage, the name of the game is to secure programming rights and attract loyal local audiences. The money, the companies trust, will eventually follow, and so they are slugging it out in nascent cable markets like India. The cricket World Cup continues through March 17.
Disney became the world's largest media company with its recently completed acquisition of ESPN's majority owner, Capital Cities/ABC. And like the News Corporation, Disney is well aware that while televised sports is a mature, if thriving, business in the United States, there is plenty of room for growth in markets around the world.
There is also plenty of room to lose money, given the political and cultural vagaries and the uncertain revenue streams in many of the Asian and Latin American markets that Star Sports and ESPN are trying to cultivate.
"It has become a head-to-head battle between the Murdoch/Malone axis and the Disney camp for international cable and satellite sports rights," said Jay Stuart, an analyst in London for Kagan World Media, an international consulting firm. "There are not that many other players wealthy enough to sustain losses until the business pays off."
Whether it is cricket in India, badminton in China or soccer in Argentina, Disney and the News Corporation realize that if they intend to become video programmers to the world, "sports is the most important driver of any multichannel program package," said Gary Davey, chief executive of Star TV, the Hong Kong-based satellite television operator that distributes Star Sports programming in Asia. (So far, Star TV, which Mr. Murdoch took control of in 1993 as a way of reaching a potential audience of billions, is losing about $85 million a year.)
Disney and Murdoch/Malone are also investing in Latin America, but direct competition is already more cutthroat in Asia. Star Sports says that about 50 million homes can receive its programming; ESPN says it reaches 25 million homes in Asia. Both companies transmit their programming through satellites capable of covering all of India, which has 900 million people and 45 million homes with television sets, and all of China, which has a population of 1.2 billion and an estimated 290 million television households, as well as other Asian countries.
"The scale of what we are trying to do here is enormous," Mr. Davey said. "Our signals can reach half the earth's population."
But whether the revenues eventually come from advertising or from cable and satellite-television subscriber fees, it could be years before there is any payoff.
"Probably the most likely source of revenues will be subscriptions," said Dennis Leibowitz, who follows cable television for Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette. "Without ratings, advertisers are unlikely to spend heavily."
And yet, he cautioned, given the low income levels in many Asian and Latin American countries, and the absence of an established system for billing and collection, even subscriber fees may be tough to collect.
Both companies play coy about revenues. David Zucker, managing director of ESPN International, said most of his company's fees in Asia currently come from advertising, though there is also some subscription revenue. Mr. Davey said advertising generates Star's revenues.
What lures both Star Sports and ESPN, however, is the potential for replicating in some fashion the success that Mr. Murdoch had with B Sky B, the British subscription satellite television service.
Mr. Murdoch began Sky Television in 1989 as a direct-broadcast satellite service in which customers used dish antennas the size of pizza pans. He initially suffered heavy losses before eliminating competition for programming by merging with Sky's sole rival, BSB, in 1990 to form B Sky B.
After that move, and in the absence of any well established cable television business in Britain at the time, Mr. Murdoch was able to gain control of the market by locking up exclusive pay-television rights to many movies and sporting events, including the matches of the top professional soccer league. So successful did the service become that the News Corporation sold 20 percent of its stock to the public in 1994, raising $1.2 billion. Since then, the share price has risen 50 percent in Britain and the United States, trading in the $36 range lately.
As a result, "other companies have nightmares that they will wake up one day and discover that Murdoch controls all the access to China," said one media executive who requested anonymity.

China's Confucius Prize debacle
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating is associate editor at Foreign Policy and the editor of the Passport blog. He has worked as a researcher, editorial assistant, and deputy Web editor since joining the FP staff in 2007. In addition to being featured in Foreign Policy, his writing has been published by the Washington Post, Newsweek International, Radio Prague, the Center for Defense Information, and Romania's Adevarul newspaper. He has appeared as a commentator on CNN International, C-Span, ABC News, Al Jazeera, NPR, BBC radio, and others. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he studied comparative politics at Oberlin College.
The attempt by a group of patriotic Chinese scholars to create a Chinese alternative to the Nobel Prize appears to have backfired disastrously today, with the recipient a no-show and the Chinese government distancing itself from their efforts.
The first ever Confucius Peace Prize was awarded to former Taiwanese Vice President Lien Chan, who worked for closer ties between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China. But Tien wasn't in attendance, largely because no one from the committee had bothered to inform him about it. Instead, the award was given to a young girl described as an "angel of peace."
Who exactly is behind the prize remains a bit of a mystery. The existence of the prize was first announced three weeks ago, though bizarrely, the organizers also claimed they had been preparing for it since 1988 and had been seeking "Confucian wisdom." The organizers at first claimed to have worked closely with the Chinese culture ministry, but the government claims to have nothing to do with the prize and it has received little coverage in state media.
Other nominees for the prize reportedly included Bill Gates, Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela, Mahmoud Abbas, and the Panchen Lama. (The Beijing-approved one, of course.)
The jurors refused to acknowledge that the prize had anything to do with imprisoned activist Liu Xiaobo, who will receive the Nobel Peace Prize in absentia tomorrow, or even mention his name. But the official prize announcement did take some gratuitous shots at puny little Norway:
China is a symbol of peace, meanwhile it owns the absolute power to uphold peace. With over 1 billion people, it should have a greater voice on the issue of world peace. In essence, Norway is only a small country with scarce land area and population, but it must be in the minority in terms of other relatively large numbers concerning the conception of freedom and democracy. Hence, the selection of the "Nobel Peace Prize" should open [sic] to the people in the world instead of engaging in "minority" type of the [sic] so-called presumption. Because it is unable to stand on the highest point of the whole human being, but also difficult to represent the viewpoint of most people, which could be inevitably biased and fallacious.
As usual, the good folks at Next Media Animation had the last laugh.

2012 colour trends inspired by Chagall
The touch Chagall had with colour was the product of genius, even regular folk can bring just a little of that into their own surroundings.
|Report an Error

View 4 photoszoom
Tour the "Chagall and the Russian Avant-Garde" exhibit that ends Sunday at the AGO ( www.ago.net) and you're sure to be struck by the light-soaked, theatrical, gloriously vibrant colours. After paying homage, consider that while the touch Chagall had with colour was the product of genius, even regular folk can bring just a little of that into their own surroundings.
Doing so with paint is very affordable, given that for less than $100 you can make a statement in just about any room of the house. Manufacturers are further obliging this year by pushing some very confident shades of the primaries.
Reds and oranges are poised to take centrestage in 2012. Blues, notably midnight and navy, are showing up in design magazines, but it may still be a bit before the average consumer considers these colours for the home.
If you're drawn to red, it may be because it's a relatively easy colour to work with, says Alison Goldman, communications manager for CIL Paints ( www.cil.ca), which picked a pinkish-red Tea Dance as a signature colour this year.
"Red is actually fairly friendly. We like it soft and blushy," Goldman says. "Tea Dance has some orange in it, so it's a bit coral. But that makes it really versatile, so it lends itself to many decorating situations. It works beautifully, for example, with grey or beige neutrals, and whites."
Before you go bold, Goldman strongly advises investing in a sample pot, which CIL sells for between $3 and $5. "You want to look at the colour as the light changes throughout the day. It's a step a lot of people skip, but it's really, really worthwhile to make sure you get a colour you love."
For more of Goldman's tips on using colour and images, go to my blog at www.thestar.blogs.com/onthehouse.
Pittsburgh Paint ( www.pittsburghpaints.com) reds include a very pretty Rum Punch, part of palette called Local Revival that pairs berry shades with pebbly grey, brick brown and creamy white.
Farrow and Ball ( www.farrowandball.com) is showing the brick red Incarnadine with the bluish grey Pigeon and fresh white. They also pair it with the inky Drawing Room Blue to great effect.
Red's younger cousin, pink, is showing up soft and peachy. Look at Behr's ( www.behr.com) Tea Party (wonder if the company regrets choosing that name stateside?) that matches shades such as First Peach with minty green, pales blue and violet to reference '80s spa colours. Behr paint is available at Home Depot ( www.homedepot.ca).
This current crop of popular yellows are mustardy and tinged with tan, green or gray. (And while it's pretty, enough with the gray and yellow Toile de Juoy, already. Please.)
Consider CIL's Golden Ember, which looks as though it would do well with peachy beiges and orange. Personally, my all-time favourite yellow remains Oro de Maya, from Pittsburgh Paint's Hacienda collection. PPG colour consultant Janice Lindsay ( www.janicelindsay.com) once proved her own genius by suggesting I trim it with the twiney Jute.
Goldman likes the teal, midnight and navy blues that are showing up used as accents. "It's a great colour for a backsplash," she says, "and it's gorgeous with crisp white cabinets — such a fresh, clean look." For this application, Goldman suggests a furniture and cabinet melamine paint from CIL's Smart and Allure lines.
Even homeowners comfortable with colour may puzzle over the question of trim colours for high-octane hues. "Traditional high-contrast trim, usually white, is still the most popular way to go, but with introduction of water-borne and latex trim paints, I think we are going to start seeing a change," says Goldman. "I really like a monochromatic scheme. Doing a darker shade on the door and trim — say in gray — gives you a great graphic look."
There's also a continuing trend in the use of high sheens to denote luxury and heighten the effect of light. If you like the look, be sure you can live with any flaws or angles on the wall that are not alterable. Because natural light will at some times of day act like a spotlight, making both colour — and imperfections — scream. Consider instead starting slowly with glossy colour, perhaps by an exterior door this spring in Farrow and Ball's great hues in high gloss in its under-appreciated exterior paint line.
While the siren call of colour can be powerful, how likely are most homeowners to say a fond farewell to reliable beige? Goldman has her fingers crossed, pointing out that sales of coloured paint have been picking up steadily over the past few years. "Having said that," she adds wistfully, "beige and white are still number one, which is why you need to tell your readers to discover which colours they love and then embrace them!"

Hope the schools play it
Hope the schools play it safe...this time.
Oh, yuk.
We've still got snow (on the back lawn) and an icy driveway from the "weather event" a week ago...
Emergency Frog Evacuation Plan
When one has 8 tanks with tropical frogs and the possibility of power outages, it leads to having to do some serious planning. We don't have a generator nor are we ready to go down that road just yet, so I had to come up with a plan.
When we travel during the summer and have a pet/house sitter, I had to devise a "Emergency Frog Evacuation Plan" for the poor sitter who asked the question, "what if the power goes out, will the frogs get too hot?". That plan is about a page long and ultimately the frogs go into 16 quart lidded containers and then placed in the cool basement. Mark and I had to do this when our power was out for 3 days this past summer.
However, with cold weather, it is more of a dilemma, how to keep them warm. In the long run, I need to buy (on the internet, not sure if they can be purchased locally) some heat packs that are used when shipping live frogs. But for now, I have several packs of the packets used to slip in gloves and shoes to keep warm. The frogs will go into the 16 quart containers and then I will be placing these packets taped to the under side of the lid of each container. These will all be placed in an inside closet and covered with blankets. I know we could take the 8 containers with us to the hotel, but then we may have to explain what is in them.
So imagine freezing in your own home trying to catch frogs and putting them into these containers! Life is exciting at the Harmon house.

I have a kerosene heater for just such an occasion. A friend bought the thing years ago but his wife was afraid of it so I 'inherited' it. It's still in the original box and has an extra wick.
Just be sure there is adequate ventilation in the area you plan to heat. I wonder, too, if exotic frogs may be sensitive to the fumes from these things.

The end of the year is coming - which means the Best of 2013 lists have already started. Last year I couldn't do a Top 10 or even Top 20 - I did a Top 50 albums. This year I could easily do a Top 100. I've seen a few other sites doing Top 100 lists, plenty doing Top 50. It's been a great year for music - but if you add more albums to your Best of The Year list does that actually diminish the power of the list? And before someone charges in to say that music's not a competition and that there's no one best and this is all just opinion let me answer all of that: well, dur!
I'm still catching up on a few great things that were released last year - Icebreaker and BJ Cole's reimagining of Brian Eno's Apollo album, say. Or The Bryan Ferry Orchestra's reworkings of Ferry's catalogue as The Jazz Age - just the latest two and there are more from 2012 for me to get across too.
And still more albums coming in from 2013 - just recently I've really enjoyed the Darkside album and the new Four Tet and I mention them here because, well, that end of the year list is going to be huge.
Or maybe I simply don't bother at all.
So that's what I wanted to ask you today, Blog On The Tracks readers. This is your blog - in as much as you turn up to read it. So how would you like the information put across? What would you like from me in terms of a Best Albums of 2013? A Top 10? 20? 25? 50? 100? Or a Top 37 even? Would you like a list of just a small handful of what I considered the very best? Or would you like me to try to highlight everything I've raved about this year?
It seems a long time ago that I declared Jaga Jazzist's symphony collaboration as the album of the year. That's because - well, it was. So many great albums have happened since then. And yet, that still feels like a very special record to me. Same with Daft Punk's Random Access Memories; at one point a clear frontrunner - but so much has happened since then, so many great albums have been released.
I can give you one clue: my list will not feature the latest Fly My Pretties album. No chance.
But there's every chance it will feature the latest Lord Echo - because you can do the "local supergroup" thing if you do it well...
Anyway, I'm interested to know today what you would like to read in terms of the structure of a Best Albums of 2013 list. And then I'll get it ready for next week. By all means add in your suggestions for the albums you expect to see on the list. Lorde's Pure Heroine no doubt? Arcade Fire too? (Pah!)
But should it be a traditional Top 10 or 20 or 50? Or should I go beyond that? Or do you just really not care for Best of The Year lists?
Postscript: And if anyone thinks I'd struggle to do a Top 50 or Top 100 this year look back to the 2013 Half-Time report. And there have been so many great albums since then...

Young in Groningen: Art from the Period 1945-1975
Siep van den Berg, No title, Oil on canvas.
Groninger Museum
presents the exhibition entitled Jong in Groningen- Kunst uit de periode 1945-1975. This exhibition has been compiled by Henk van Os, former director of the Rijks Museum in Amsterdam, and focuses on post-war art in Groningen. The exhibition displays work by sixteen artists, of whom only five are still alive: Els Amman, Siep van den Berg, Jo van Dijk, Jan Hoving, Han Jansen, Marten Klompien, Ruloff Manuputty, Karl Pelgrom, Matthijs Röling, Coen Schilt, Martin Tissing, Edu Waskowsky, Fie Werkman, Olga Wiese, Drewes de Wit, and Henri de Wolf.
The abundance of interest in the painters of De Ploeg led to a situation in which the art of the generation of artists who were young just after WWII has remained underexposed. This exhibition gives a picture of the quality and diversity of young art in the period just after the war. Many people are familiar with Werkmans printings, but few people know that his daughter Fie was also a fascinating artist.
In 1965 a spectacular exhibition was held, showing the work of Henri de Wolf, Martin Tissing, Jo van Dijk and Edu Waskowsky in the Groninger Museum. The artists arrived in a silver open-welded Citroen, from which an abstracted gas bubble arose. In Groningen, an avant-garde atmosphere predominated in those days. At the same time, Matthijs Röling gave a new impulse to the figurative tradition and painted genuinely splendid works. In those days there was so much going on in Groningen that is certainly worthwhile recalling.
The exhibition Jong in Groningen kunst uit de periode 1945-1975 displays coherent groups of works by the artists mentioned. Only now is it evident just how varied art from that period was: from figurative to abstract, from environment to land-art, and from minimalist to lyrical-abstract art. The exhibition includes drawings, sculptures, paintings and photography.

The Nation's Online Editor Carol Martindale looks at What's Trending today in Barbados. Prime Minister Freundel Stuart wants to see more people doing an honest day's work for a honest day's pay. Our readers are commenting on this story. Abraham Millington: "In such a small country which heavily depends on organic cohesion and is not foreign to the formal and informal expectations of workers' rights and can preach what is expected, by the same loud speaker is seldom seen bellowing any accountability or stewardship acclaim." Titus Thomas: "I so agree with you Mr. PM. Let it start with you and your ministers. Some people wait until the boss is around to look busy. Some people sleep on the job, then over stay the contracted period trying to look busy." Margaret Ross: "When it comes to work and earning it honestly, I'm all for that. Now some, would rather not; those are the ones who don't have good intentions."
