Whether it's the newest iPad or the latest flat-screen TV to hit the market, people are always eager to upgrade their favorite products. The same can be said in the fashion realm--who doesn't appreciate a great improvement on a beloved piece? With a little help from today's eight tastemakers, April's Styling Tips will show you how to elevate a slew of styles you already adore to create totally fresh looks. Mad for floral prints? This season, try out the motif on a pair of pants a la Minka Kelly or test out a supersized version of the pattern as seen on Rachel Roy. Are you a die-hard fan of black leather skirts? For the warm-weather months ahead, take a cue from Ashley Greene and consider swapping it for a tan iteration. Of course, our ideas don't end there-read on for the rest of our savvy suggestions!
Tip #1: Try a pencil skirt with an oversized print.
Botanical prints never fail to make an appearance this time of year, so we're always on the lookout for fresh, interesting ways to wear the timeless motif. Luckily, Rachel Roy gave us a fantastic idea: don supersized versions of our favorite florals! At the New York premiere of HBO'S new show Girls earlier this month, the designer wore pieces from her own line, including the Black and White Washed Silk Pin Tuck Blouse ($298) and Iced Lemon Floral Duchess Satin Ikat Placement Pencil Skirt ($298), along with Givenchy heels. We think oversized blooms are totally chic and definitely an au courant interpretation of a classic spring trend. To channel Roy's savvy styling, we suggest buying Dolce & Gabbana's Floral Pencil Skirt ($745), Banana Republic's Linda Floral Pencil Skirt ($90), or Milly's Violet Print Pencil Skirt ($225), all of which are A+ alternatives!
Tip #2: Make a statement in floral-print pants.
Neutral pants will always have a place in our closets, but this season we're excited to try bold floral-print renditions instead! Minka Kelly executed the look perfectly at a nightclub opening in Sydney, Australia late last month. We instantly fell in love with her vivid Dolce & Gabbana Floral Print Trouser Pants ($400) and appreciated how she juxtaposed the feminine pattern with the tough-girl vibe of J Brand's Baez Leather Top ($795). Additionally, we thought her choice of colorful accessories--namely a Jimmy Choo clutch and Crown Snakeskin Platform Pumps ($795)--made the energetic ensemble even more memorable. To make a Kelly-inspired statement this season, pick up Zara's Floral Print Trousers ($60), 7 For All Mankind's Kauai Floral-Print Skinny Jeans ($189), Paige Denim's Skyline Ankle Peg Jeans in Floral Print ($189), or Sandro's Pressage Tapered Floral-Print Twill Pants ($285), and you'll surely turn heads!
Tip #3: Mix neutrals for a chic evening ensemble.
Creating an intriguing outfit with just neutrals is no easy task, but Nora Zehetner proved it's possible indeed! At a celebration for John Pawson's new photography book, A Visual Inventory, earlier this month, she smartly teamed a tan Wren jacket and blush-colored Calvin Klein sheath with Edmundo Castillo sandals. We love how she combined various hues in the same color family, creating a masterfully mixed look that is quite chic and sophisticated. To get a Zehetner-esque ensemble for yourself, start with a simple frock, such as Rory Beca's Dahan Low Waisted Dress ($209) or Sandro's Resonance Crepe Peplum Dress ($320), then simply add a great jacket, like J Brand's Nicks Bomber Jacket ($995) or Trouve's Channel Quilted Leather Jacket ($298) to complete your look.
Tip #4: Chanel the '90s with a flannel tied around your waist.
Does Taylor Tomasi Hill ever get it wrong when it comes to personal style? We think not, and her look at the Sigerson Morrison F/W 12 presentation in New York last month was certainly no exception. We love the rock 'n' roll spirit of her outfit, which consisted of a vintage graphic t-shirt and Isabel Marant F/W 11 jeans, especially the way she tied a plaid flannel shirt around her waist for a grunge-inspired look. We also approve of how she elevated her casual combo with a tuxedo-style Phi blazer and Sigerson Morrison pumps, which gave the outfit an unexpectedly polished finish. Feeling inspired? Simply reach for your favorite tee and pair of jeans, then grab a flannel shirt-we like Free People's Vintage Plaid Flannel ($98), James Perse's Slim-Fit Flannel Button-Down Shirt ($74), or American Apparel's Unisex Flannel Long Sleeve Button-Up Shirt ($31)-and tie it nonchalantly around your waist!
Tip #5: Create a polished spring look with a tan leather skirt.
Leather isn't exactly synonymous with summer style, but there is a seasonally appropriate way to wear the chic material-just look to Ashley Greene's outfit to see what we mean! Last month, the actress attended a DKNY event at Macy's in New York wearing a ruffled red blouse and leather A-line skirt from the brand's Pre-Fall 12 collection. We love how the tan hue and short hemline make the skirt totally warm-weather-ready, resulting in a splendid ensemble we're dying to recreate. To do so, simply pick up spot-on alternatives like ASOS' Kookai Leather Miniskirt ($195), Vince's Leather Miniskirt ($495), Dallin Chase's Flynn Washed Leather Skirt($354), or Organic by John Patrick's Mini Skirt ($685)!
Tip #6: Add interest to your outfit with a removable collar.
Everyone has their go-to ways of spicing up a classic LBD, but have you tried adding a removable collar? We're dying to test out this unexpected accent seen here on Kate Mara! The actress was snapped at Juicy Couture's F/W 12 presentation in New York last month wearing a noir frock by the brand, which she punched up with gold accessories, including Danijo's Precious Metals Necklace ($458), Edie Parker's Edie Oval Clutch ($1095), and Brian Atwood's statement-making Raffia-Heel d'Orsay Sandals ($1452, available here in Colorblock). The pseudo-collar necklace especially stood out to us, as it transformed a simple dress into a completely adorable look! Dying for a similarly cute outfit? We recommend updating an LBD with Miss Selfridge's Gold Chain Peter Pan Collar ($32), Need Supply Co.'s Hammered Collar Necklace ($124), or Karl's Sequined Poplin Collar ($175) for a Mara-inspired ensemble in no time.
Tip #7: Pair a Victorian blouse with a flirty skirt.
Nothing screams warm weather like an all-white ensemble. If you're dying to bust out your white pieces this season but need a bit of advice, simply consider Liya Kebede as your guide. The supermodel stepped out at the premiere of the film Sur La Piste Du Marsupilami in Paris last month wearing a high-collared blouse with a tiered mini skirt, both from the Isabel Marant F/W 12 collection. We love how the blouse gives off a chic Victorian vibe, while the ultra-short skirt lends a youthful flair to the look, resulting in an undeniably stylish outfit. Anxious to sport this fresh hue too? Start with the perfect blouse, such as Pepe Jeans' Ruffle Front Sheer Blouse ($107), Ralph Lauren's Faith Blouse ($215), or Les Aperizes' Pleated Collar Blouse ($695), then add a flirty skirt like Rachel Zoe's Shirley Ruffled Layered Skirt ($369) or Paul & Joe Sister's Mini Skirt ($125), and you'll be ready to paint the town white!
Tip #8: Elevate wardrobe basics with strappy sandals.
When it comes to finding inspiring outfits for our Styling Tips every month, Into The Gloss' Emily Weiss is one trendsetter who makes our job easy! To no one's surprise, Weiss compiled a to-die-for ensemble for an event celebrating the latest issue of the bi-annual magazine Acne Paper in New York last month. We appreciate how she started with basic pieces-namely American Apparel's Unisex Denim Long Sleeve Button-Up ($64) in Light Wash Indigo, Rag & Bone's Skinny Jeans ($176) in Coal, and Jil Sander for Uniqlo's F/W 11 belt-and added strappy sandals by Azzedine Alaia, which effectively elevated her otherwise pared-down look. To emulate Weiss, we recommend snagging Forever 21's Long-Sleeve Button Up ($16) and pairing it with either Cheap Monday's Narrow Jeans ($65) in Tonki Used Black or Current/Elliott's The Roller Jeans ($178) in Black Beauty. Finally, add a pair of strappy sandals a la Weiss to give your look a chic finish- Zara's Stretch Sandals ($90) or ASOS' Helios Leather Gladiator Sandals ($98) will do the trick!--Erin Fitzpatrick

Narcissism is itself a slippery concept that psychologists have debated for years. How to define it and how to measure it have been looming questions as well as the extent to which a certain level of narcissism may be adaptive in a psychological sense. More recently, however, Twenge and colleagues have published volumes about the current narcissism "epidemic" plaguing those of us in our 20s and 30s.
According to Twenge, there are significant differences between "cohorts" (generations) in terms of narcissism, with young adults today having higher levels of self-esteem and narcissistic attitudes making them worthy of the "Generation Me" moniker. In a recent Social and Personality Psychology Compass article, however, Donnellan and colleagues argue otherwise. They present compelling evidence that the differences, if there are any, are only very slight. Additionally, they claim that any differences are not generalizable to the larger population because of the convenience sampling of college students. Further, they critique the notion of grouping generations of individuals under a larger umbrella that is only defined by a few questions on a scale.
Their critique raises important questions not only about method and measurement, but about the interconnection between social and personality psychology with "popular sentiment" and the way in which academic — 'scientific' — research is uniquely positioned to corroborate or complicate the reality which surrounds us.

SWARTHMORE, Penn. (MarketWatch) — Some ideas have to simmer for a long time before they're ready for mass consumption. All three of these have been around for a long time now, but there are signs that 2013 is their time to shine.
World premieres on the Web
Last weekend, Netflix Inc. NFLX, -1.39% entered the original entertainment programming business with House of Cards, a made-for-streaming-video series starring Kevin Spacey as a deliciously villainous politician.
In a quirk that reflects its Web-centric world, Netflix made all 13 one-hour episodes of the first season available at once to its subscribers.
According to Variety, "extreme binge viewing" has ensued.
The New Yorker declared that House of Cards is "in the same league as the best shows" on cable, not to mention "about five times better than the average Hollywood film."
It had better be. Netflix reportedly paid $100 million for two seasons of the show.
Meanwhile, Netflix's extremely deep-pocketed competitor Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, +1.25% just won exclusive rights to stream the popular PBS costume soap opera Downton Abbey, all the way through season five, if it happens. According to a company statement, Amazon is selling the first three British seasons as a package now — meaning Americans can get the final three episodes of the current season before they air on U.S. television.
That's one in the eye for Netflix, which has only got season one of Downton Abbey, and even that is expected to be pulled soon, thanks to the Amazon deal.
This battle for subscriber share is going to get very expensive for Netflix and Amazon, and very entertaining for consumers.
The clear losers are the cable television service companies. If consumers were already thinking of cutting the cord to Comcast or Time Warner, the knowledge that some of the best stuff is available only in their Netflix or Amazon Prime subscriptions could push them over the edge. Read Minyanville's "Four Questions to Ask Yourself Before Making a Trade."
Game consoles for grown-ups
The invitation from Sony SNE, +0.68% to its next "press event" is cryptic, but it sounds an awful lot like the company is going to launch a new and more powerful version of the PlayStation home game console on Feb. 20 in New York. Read Minyanville's "Despite New Laws, Expect More Sites Dedicated to Online Shopping for Kids."

America's current condition is bad, and the long-term prognosis is worse. But don't take my word for it.
A well-known diplomat fears that the country has "passed its high point like so many other civilizations." An eminent scholar warns that military spending and overseas commitments are pushing the United States toward "imperial overstretch." Another says that "the engines of economic growth have shut down." According to a respected pundit, "Europeans and Asians are already finding confirmation of their suspicion that the United States is in decline."
A leading presidential candidate concludes that the United States has fallen from "a position of undisputed power … to the brink of possible disaster." Another politician says that America is "in the midst of unprecedented political troubles."
A popular governor laments how America has become a nation of "idle industries and small dreams." Another grimly concludes, "Our country is not strong anymore." Yet another warns that America may "become a second-rate power."
Even the president concedes, "The state of the union is not good."
One caveat: each of these assessments about America's decline was made decades ago – some as far back as the 1860s.
So if fears about U.S. decline were wrong in decades past, why should we believe them today? Maybe we shouldn't.
Downers. Amid budget crises, stalemated wars and rising global challengers, the America-in-decline diagnosis is not only fashionable but seems reasonable. After all, the United States lost its AAA bond rating. A European official deemed it likely that "the U.S. will lose its status as the superpower of the global financial system." Even the slow-witted boss on NBC's "The Office" noticed. "My whole life I believed that America was No. 1," he sighed. "That was the saying, not 'America is No. 2.'"
No wonder that 70 percent of Americans believe the country is "in decline." But are they right?
Of the many ways to address that question, two seem especially helpful: comparing America's global status today with earlier junctures in history, and considering American power in relation to that of other nations.
Let's start with the U.S.-vs.-U.S. comparison.
The United States entered the world stage with a bang, defeating the greatest empire on earth. Yet less than 30 years later, the young republic was swatted back into place. The War of 1812 saw U.S. forces routed and the capital set ablaze. When measured against its own position just a generation earlier, the United States had declined in drastic terms.
The country endured another period of decline during the Civil War. After Lincoln's murder, Gen. William Sherman openly feared America slipping into anarchy, wondering "who was left on this continent to give order and shape to the now-disjointed elements of the government."
But the country rebounded and emerged as a global power at the beginning of the 20th century. By the end of the Great War, American ideals were embraced around the globe. Indeed, some historians argue that the world was never as receptive to American leadership as it was when President Woodrow Wilson arrived in Paris.
Yet the postwar period saw U.S. power and prestige plummet on the world stage. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt called America "a stricken nation in the midst of a stricken world."
"The future and the safety of our country … are overwhelmingly involved in events far beyond our borders," he conceded in early 1941. "As long as the aggressor nations maintain the offensive, they – not we – will choose the time and the place and the method of their attack."
In short, U.S. power had declined to where it was a century earlier, when other countries held sway over the world and America's fortunes.
Historian Derek Leebaert captures this rapid reversal in his book "The Fifty-Year Wound." In November 1941, the program for the Army-Navy football game included a picture of USS Arizona and a caption boasting, "No battleship has ever been sunk by air attack." Japan made a mockery of that false bravado less than a fortnight later.
Although U.S. military, industrial and economic power was unrivaled at the end of World War II, it pays to recall that the 1950s began with debates over who lost China and ended with debates over who lost Cuba. In between, Americans wondered how they lost the space race.
Similarly, the 1960s began and ended with humbling setbacks (the Bay of Pigs and Vietnam), opening the way to a period of self-doubt in the 1970s. By the late 1980s, experts predicted that Japan and Germany would dislodge a beleaguered America from its economic perch.
Yet in the 1990s, the United States was promoted from superpower to "hyperpower." One historian even declared that America had "too much power for anyone's good, including its own."
Power Play. Even amid today's post-recession retrenchment, the U.S. economy remains a remarkable force. At $15 trillion, America's GDP dwarfs every other country's. Only when the European Union cobbles together its 27 economies can it claim to rival U.S. economic output. U.S. GDP is about 50 percent larger than China's, and three times bigger than India's. Yet the U.S. labor force is two-thirds the size of the EU's, one-third the size of India's and one-fifth the size of China's.
China's economy is booming, but it's important to recognize the immense gap in per-capita income – $47,200 in the United States vs. $4,260 in China – and the country's systemic problems. Although it does have an ocean of cheap labor and a swelling treasury, it doesn't have a stable middle class, a social safety net, a government that breeds confidence in its trading partners, or a political system that embraces the rule of law and responds to the will of the people. That's not exactly a formula for long-term success.
In addition, China faces serious demographic problems. "By 2050," as Jonathan Last reports, "China will be losing, on net, 20 million people every five years."
Similarly, Russia's population will shrink by 15 million in the next 20 years. Japan and Europe are rapidly aging, lacking the immigration levels and birth rates to reverse the trend. But America's population growth rate outpaces Europe's, Japan's and China's, boding well for our long-term health.
As for America's current economic health, the recession exposed serious problems. Entitlement spending is unsustainable. And the country's debt, bulging from 38 percent of GDP in 2008 to 63 percent in 2010 to 85 percent today, has entered a danger zone. But these are solvable problems that policymakers have the tools, if not the will, to tackle.
The systemic and demographic problems facing much of Asia and Europe may not be solvable. Many countries would be thrilled to have our debt-to-GDP ratio: Japan's public debt is 199 percent of GDP; Britain's external debt is 413 percent of GDP, France's 250 percent, Germany's 185 percent, Australia's 138 percent.
Despite its economic challenges, the United States remains the engine of the global economy. It boasts 18 of the 50 largest companies on earth – three times as many as the closest challenger. The United States is home to the world's largest aerospace (Boeing), biotech (Amgen), pharmaceutical (Pfizer), retail (Walmart), petroleum (ExxonMobil), software (Microsoft), technology hardware (HP), computer services (IBM), communications equipment (Cisco) and heavy equipment (Caterpillar) firms.
Rather than simply mass-producing, reverse-engineering or pirating what others create – like China's state-controlled industries – these corporations are shaping the future and propelling globalization.
Some argue that globalization is just another word for Americanization, and they may be right. Indeed, it is in the wake of globalization that we begin to glimpse the full breadth of U.S. power:
The converse simply does not hold. Americans are not buying Afri-Cola, watching Chinese basketball, tuning in to Castro's state-run TV, surfing the Web with Chinese software or European PCs, or opening research labs in foreign lands.
Speaking of foreign lands, the U.S. military provides a security umbrella to about half the world's landmass, polices the world's toughest neighborhoods, and serves as the world's first responder and last line of defense. No other military could attempt such a feat of global multitasking.
Because of the U.S. military's restraint, foreign governments invite it onto their territory: Kosovo, Korea and Kuwait want U.S. troops to maintain regional stability. From Germany to Georgia, those who remember a Europe of concrete walls and iron curtains want U.S. forces on their soil as a hedge against Russia. And those who fear China's rise are strengthening their U.S. ties.
As to the charge that America is "overstretched," consider that in the 1950s, the United States had 3.4 million troops on active duty, a sizable 2.1 percent of the country's 160 million population at the time. In the 1960s, the country had a million troops stationed overseas. During the Cold War, America spent 6 to 10 percent of its GDP on defense. Today, the United States has 1.4 million troops on active duty (out of a population of 313 million); 70 percent of U.S. forces are based in the United States and its territories; and America spends 4 percent of its GDP on defense.
Without question, the United States faces challenges that could erode its global position: its fiscal situation is a mess, China is ascending, and the world abounds with asymmetric threats that could undermine the liberal order Americans have built for generations.
But America overcame worse economic times in the 1930s and 1970s. America has coped with rising powers before. And today's asymmetric threats pale in comparison to the existential threats posed by the madmen of the 20th century. Moreover, no country enfolds the full spectrum of geopolitical power (economic, military, cultural) and embraces universally appealing attributes (political pluralism, economic opportunity, cultural openness) like the United States. This confluence of strengths gives the United States a decisive edge.
So perhaps it's premature to replace Old Glory with a white flag just yet.

This is not the same country that my grandparents were born into. It is a country that I spent 23 yrs in uniform, only to have most of what I served for taken away from me by corrupt politicians and corporate officials. The reason whay I wasted 23 years is that most politicians and CEOs know that very few military members bother to vote. Many feel that wearing a uniform is enough. WELL IT IS NOT!!!!! I have never missed on exercising my responsibility from the time I enlisted in 1980 through 2003 and then into retirement. If given the chance to do it again with what I know now I WOULD NOT BOTHER!!! This country has gone down into the deepest depths of ruin and most likely will not recover. It has become a country of lazy and illegal people. We have allowed an individual who refuses to answer in person the question of his citizenship to become President. We have a Supreme Court that allows people to disrespect and desecrate our fallen military members. We have allowed corporate officers to lie about weapons of mass destruction so that they could get rich off the blood of best. The biggest money grubber being Dick Cheney. Cheney, Rumsfeld(sic) and Rice are traitors and murders and should be tried for their crimes. Obama is a Socialist and is destroying this country and should be removed from office and charged with treason.
Bottom line is that current and past military members needs to step up and fight for our benefits that WE PAID FOR WITH OUR BLOOD AND SWEAT!!!!
my best friend's sister made $19668 the prior week. she has been making cash on the laptop and got a $424600 house. All she did was get fortunate and set to work the directions explained on this site >>>> LazyCash1.com
All the mega corporations referred to in Dowd's article manufacture primarily outside of the US. This is most evident when shopping at the evil Wal*Mart Stores where it's nearly impossible to find an item not made in China. I do my best to buy American made products, it isn't easy but I refuse to buy made in China. Doing my part for the America I love and have given 25 years of service for.
You're doing your job as expected. Painting the glass as half full, and I applaud you for that. With that said, it almost seems feeble or moot at this point. We are 15,000,000,000,000 dollars in debt. We are completely controlled by the whims of those in control of our Fed Reserve. We are not focusing on China's military build up because too much $ is at stake (to be made). All the while I'm tripping over more homeless in my depressed area than ever. All the while CA 33 prisons are at maximum capacity. (free-est country is 5% of world's pop but has 25% of incarcerated?) Okay though because our strongest lobbying power in CA is the Correctional Officers Union. Our local law enforcement has turned into predators where they eagerly tow every car and impound it for 30 days, forcing people to auction, which goes hand in hand with the courts here in CA that are assessing 5 times the "recommended penalty" for infractions. That means if my ticket is 250 dollars in the State penalty amounts listed each year the local courts are making people, often making 7 dollars an hour, pay 1250 dollars.. We let the Jeannie out of the bottle. We are a sick nation without the moral footing we had once and we continue to slaughter people with 3rd grade educations abroad for reasons that are totally "foreign" to me. I miss my country. I miss the pride we once had. We're in a sad state. Regards, Rob
Free Trade sponsored by Big Business has gutted the American dream of middle class employment in manufacturing industry. Outsourcing overseas and to Mexico and bringing in the products now made there at low or no tarrifs has resulted in big profits for Big Business and empty factories for US workers.
We can't have it both ways. Cheap quality goods and components made overseas and in Mexico paying no or low tarrifs means fewer jobs and people able to buy them.
Free Trade has impacted SSA contributions, State's and US tax revenue, and future jobs for those entering the job force.
All in all, we have been screwed by Big Bsiness and Free Trade.
Wake UP people, before it is too late.
I sense that this article does give history of which America had very little control of the causes or events that occurred. We now have America under control of a government religious movement which our Country was not founded nor the people has no control of the mis-use of political power. The people had no control of the financial institutions de-regulation which caused the financial collapse or the "greed" of those involved. Our Constitution has been manipulated to suit our elected officials to their own benefit when in past history it was a honor and privilege to serve America. The elected officials when leaving office now are considerable richer and receive benefits for the rest of their life after one term. It has been said that 1% of the population controls the economy of this Country and the power of the people's vote does not change the outcome because these same financial related appointments end up in office.
Civil War Veteran and Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan (1833-1911) dedicated a Bible to the Supreme Court of the United States in 1906. The flyleaf pages of that Bible have been signed by every justice since that date. The story of the "Harlan Bible" as it has become to be known, may be read at ajatoday.com. Interestingly, in that same year that Harlan gave the Supreme Court that Bible, (1906) he is quoted as saying:
"I fully believe in both the Bible and the Constitution.... I believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Nothing which it commands can be safely or properly disregarded; nothing that it condemns can be justified. No civilization is worth preserving which is not based on the doctrines or teachings of the Bible. No nation that habitually ignores or violates the rules prescribed by it for the conduct and government of the human race, can long last. This country is, in a large sense, a Christian country, and its adherence to the fundamental doctrines of Christianity is becoming more and more every year a marked feature in American civilization."
It is truly unfortunate that the primary difference from previous periods of decline and their respective recoveries is the current lack of faith and moral fortitude. Entitlement mentality and a fear of becoming "plitically incorrect" have created a void of meaningful values which we hold dear.
Anyone who believes that Justice Harlan was correct in his statement above should consider reading a book "Radical" by David Platt. It is a truly convicting piece about selling out our faith to the American dream. Too many people are far more concerned with personal gain and maintaining personal freedom than we are with God's principles of Christin love and sacrifice that were the founding principles of this great nation.
We need to pull out of Afganistan, bring our troops home, protect our own borders. Keep our "big stick" and do not disarm as we did after WW I and WW II. Tell the world to not pick on us or we will strike back with awsome force!!!
Legion Members, including Sons and Auxiliary Members and Riders, have GOT to put down the sports page, turn off the "game of the day", take some time off the hunting and fishing, or the golf course, or whatever distracts us....and PAY ATTENTION! Why is our gasoline (oil) supply so low that the price is over double what it was 3 years ago? Why is our food so expensive? Why can't I build a small house without having to beg the Federal EPA, the State EPA, some County permit officer, and a local Tree Commission for their OK for me to start ... on my own acre of land? Why do so many of my neighbors get so much of my reward for working so hard (welfare, food stamps, tax-paid rent, tax-paid college, 2 years of unemployment checks, etc.)? Who (really) is Eric Holder? Who (really) is Steven Chu? Why is it so hard to get business investors to try their business ideas HERE... in America in 2012?????
I just had an additional to the initial comment...just a couple of basic "truisms.
Isn't it ironic:
The food stamp program, part of the Dept. of Agriculture, was pleased to be distributing the greatest amount of food stamps ever....
Meanwhile, the Park Service, also part of the Dept. of Agriculture, asks up to "please not feed the animals" because the animals may grow dependent and not learn to take care of themselves.
"Though no one can go back and make a brand new start...anyone can start from now and create a brand new ending."
Absolutely correct. For the whole 50 + year history of how America's policy makers, judges, "educators", and social engineers with OPM (other people's money) have brought us to a crisis point, see Charles Murray's book - Losing Ground. We need to dump the government teat and go back to private charity for our needy neighbors (we have coddled them into dependency, ruined them and their families and communities).
All seems to be true looking at both perspectives....except our population.
The citizens (legal and illegal) have a totally different attitude and work ethic than those in the past. Everything is at their fingertips...heck...cars even park themselves now. Work...real work...is being done by others and getting our hands dirty can be left to others. We have become odese and lazy...look around. Less than 1% are in the military and the other 90% uless they are attached to somkeone in the military could "really" care less. Our Govt. is spending a billion every eight hours on the average with no end in sight. Gas prices are 'predicted' to go up to $5 @ gallon...Where is the "hope" left for the population ???

Buzz: Mets are Shopping Gary Matthews Jr.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post believes the Mets are shopping OF Gary Matthews Jr., "and the Reds could be a possibility."
The Mets acquired Matthews Jr. from the Angels in January for Brian Stokes, and are only responsible for paying $2 million of the money due to him the next two seasons.
…i said it a few weeks ago, that it would not surprise me to see the Mets trade matthews, mostly because i don't see him winning the job, and like sherman says, what happens to him when Carlos Beltran returns… i mean, if he didn't like being a bench player with the Angels, how's he going to handle being a third stringer, and is there even a role for that on this club… i think not…
Last week, WFAN's Mike Francesa said he believes Matthews will be traded for pitching, and, he too said the Reds have interest.
…in the off season, there was lots of buzz connecting the Mets to the Reds in talks about Bronson Arroyo, Aaron Harang and Brandon Phillips, among others… i left the winter believing talks were real, but that the Reds were only interested in trading a pitcher, while paying most of his way, in return for a top prospect… i have no idea how a player like matthews fits in to that today… but, the Mets clearly still need some sort of reliable starting pitcher to be added to this rotation, and so if there is a way to still get arroyo or harang, i hope Omar Minaya is working on it…
The 31–year-old Harang was 6–14 with a 4.21 ERA in 26 starts for the Reds last season, missing starts the last two seasons with a forearm injury, a neck injury and an appendectomy.
He is due to earn $25 million over the next two seasons, after which he can be made a free agent.
Arroyo, 33, is 39–39 with a 4.27 ERA in 101 starts the last three seasons, during which opponents are batting .277 against him, while he has struck out 446 batters in 631 innings.
He will earn $10 million this season, but has an $11 million team option for 2011.
By the way, also on his blog, Sherman offers the Mets a suggestion on how they should have communicated Jose Reyes's return to the public, so to better manage everyone's expectations.

The Galaxy S I9000 messaging app automatically converts long SMS messages to MMS. How can I disable this?
You can't do so with your samsung official messaging application, all of what you can get is a pop notification that you are now in the MMS zone (Converting to multimedia message...).
I would recommend Handcent SMS application, available at the market, and has an option for not converting texts (SMS) into MMS
You need to change the Creation Mode in the messaging app's settings to "Restricted". I tried it on my Galaxy S II and it worked.
You need to open the text application, then menu then settings. In settings click creation mode and then change to "free". Your problems are now over.
Personally, I suggest BigSMS instead of Handcent. Handcent is too bloated, slows your phone down. Plus, the standard Android SMS Client is usually perfectly fine.
BigSMS is very quick, simple and doesn't take up much space. It does what it says on the tin, allows users to send longer text messages. Free as well.

State of the art equipment upgrades and preventive maintenance tasks underway,
DELTA, PA — Operators at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station removed Unit 2 from service at 8:00 p.m. yesterday to begin a planned refueling outage. During the outage, Exelon employees and supplemental workers will perform maintenance activities and replace nearly one-third of the reactor's fuel to keep the unit running safely and efficiently for another two-year cycle.
To support this work, the station will utilize the talents and expertise of more than 2,200 additional workers, many of whom travel to Peach Bottom from outside the area. For several months preceding and following the outage, the influx of workers provides a significant boost to the local economy.
"This is the largest number of supplemental workers we've had supporting an outage in recent years," said Site Vice President Garey Stathes. "We are proud of our history of safe and efficient refueling outages, and it wouldn't be possible without support from our neighbors in York, Lancaster and Harford County."
During the outage, technicians will also replace Peach Bottom's Unit 2 low pressure turbines with new, high-efficiency components. When this project is complete, Unit 2 is expected to generate an additional 30 megawatts. The turbines on Unit 3 were replaced during last year's outage.
Peach Bottom is home to two boiling water reactors that went online in 1974 and jointly produce over 2,200 megawatts of electricity, powering approximately two million homes.
Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC) is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with approximately $33 billion in annual revenues. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is the largest competitive U.S. power generator, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The company's Constellation business unit provides energy products and services to approximately 100,000 business and public sector customers and approximately 1 million residential customers. Exelon's utilities deliver electricity and natural gas to more than 6.6 million customers in central Maryland (BGE), northern Illinois (ComEd) and southeastern Pennsylvania (PECO).
