Piketty Gets It Wrong
This article appeared in the on April 23, 2014.
For those who believe in the redistribution of wealth, the hero of the hour is Thomas Piketty, the French economist whose book Capital in the Twenty-First Century provides a serious critique of inequality in modern capitalist economies and warns that market economies "are potentially threatening to democratic societies and to the values of social justice on which they are based." To remedy this, he argues for a globally imposed wealth tax and a U.S. tax rate of 80 percent on incomes over $500,000 per year.
The Left has been rapturous. In the last two months, Piketty's book has been cited more than a half-dozen times by the New York Times, something that has happened with no other book in recent memory. Paul Krugman hails it as "the most important economics book of the year." Martin Wolff, in the Financial Times, lauded it as "an extraordinarily important book."
"Instead of berating capitalists, we need to make it easier for workers to join their ranks."
Capital in the Twenty-First Century is well researched and contains much useful information and some important insights. But it is not unflawed. Some of the problems are technical — Piketty tends to underestimate the elasticity of returns on capital — but more are deeply philosophical. Piketty takes the evilness of inequality as a given, ignoring the broader question of whether the same conditions that lead to growing wealth at the top of the pyramid also improve material well-being for those at the bottom. In other words, does it matter if some people become super-rich as long as we reduce poverty along the way? Which matters more, equality or prosperity?
To cite just one example, Piketty devotes considerable effort to criticizing the rise of inequality in China over the past three decades as it has adopted market-oriented policies. But he largely glosses over the way those policies have lifted millions and millions of people out of poverty.
Piketty's proposed "solutions" are equally problematic. He seems to believe that "confiscatory taxes" (his term) can be imposed without changing incentives or discouraging innovation and wealth creation. Piketty's solutions would undoubtedly yield a more equal society, but also one that was remarkably poorer.
Still, Piketty makes some important points. In particular, he notes correctly that returns on capital nearly always exceed the return on labor. With capital held by a relatively narrow group, therefore, rising inequality is inevitable. Moreover, with the wealthy able to pass capital on to their heirs, that inequality will be perpetuated and even extended over generations.
One wonders why, then, Piketty's fans ignore the obvious answer to this problem. Instead of attacking capital and capitalism, why not expand the number of people who participate in the benefits of having capital? In other words, let's make more capitalists.
Yet, the Left is unremittingly hostile to exactly those policies that would give workers more access to capital.
Take, for example, 401(k) plans, which allow some 52 million American workers to own stocks and bonds as part of their retirement portfolios. Teresa Ghilarducci, director of the Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis at the New School in New York, has argued before Congress that 401(k) plans should be abolished, and replaced by an expanded social-insurance system. Representative Jim McDermott (D., Wash.), who sits on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, has pronounced himself "intrigued" by Ghilarducci's ideas. And retiring congressman George Miller (D., Calif.) has called for eliminating or reducing the tax break for 401(k) contributions. The Obama administration has also sought to limit tax breaks for 401(k)s, although primarily for wealthier participants. In a speech calling for the expansion of Social Security, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) criticized private retirement accounts like 401(k) plans "that leave the retiree at the mercy of a market that rises and falls, and, sometimes, at the mercy of dangerous investment products."
No policy proposed in recent years would have done more to expand capital ownership than allowing younger workers to invest a portion of their Social Security taxes through personal accounts. One of the unsung benefits of such Social Security reform is that it would enable even the lowest-paid American worker to benefit from capital investment. Indeed, since the wealthy presumably already invest as much as they wish to, lower-income workers would be the primary beneficiaries of this new investment opportunity.
In Chile, for example, workers, through their pension accounts, own assets equal to approximately 60 percent of the country's GDP. As José Piñera, the architect of Chile's successful pension reform, points out, personal accounts "transform every worker into an owner of capital."
Moreover, my Cato colleague Jagadeesh Gokhale has demonstrated that, because personal accounts would be inheritable, privatizing Social Security would significantly reduce inequality across generations.
It is this "democratization of capital" that attracted honest liberals like Daniel Patrick Moynihan to the idea. Yet, Democrats in Congress today would sooner sell their first-born to the Koch brothers than even consider it.
In the end, there are two ways to address inequality. You can bring the top down, or you can lift the bottom up. It is free-market capitalism that gives us a chance to do the latter. And if there is a problem today, it is more likely a result of too little capitalism, not too much.

November 28, 2015
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio's governor says the state health director is stepping down later this month to return to private medical practice.
Director Theodore Wymyslo has led the Ohio Department of Health since 2011. He previously worked as a family physician in Montgomery County.
Gov. John Kasich said in a statement Tuesday he respected Wymyslo's desire to return to practicing medicine and working with patients.
Wymsylo advocated for so-called patient-centered medical homes, a model of primary care focused on keeping patients healthy. He's also had a prominent role recently in an abortion clinic's closure.
Wymsylo revoked the license of a suburban Cincinnati clinic and ordered it closed, questioning whether it followed rules to provide patient backup care.
A judge on Friday allowed the clinic to remain amid a court fight.

Production of salted cakes from the flesh of stunted tilapia spp. and silage from their offal.
Akande, G.R.
MetadataShow full item record
The yield of mince from stunted Tilapia species using a flesh-bone separator was investigated. Salt was added to the mince to prepare dried cakes with enhanced keeping qualities. Pre-heat treatment of the cakes prior to low temperature drying resulted in an initial moisture loss and improved the appearance, flavour and texture of the cakes. The dried cakes were assessed for total viable counts and sensory attributes after preparation and storage. Desalting of cakes was effected by boiling in water, Salted dried cakes were found to be microbiologically stable and the reconstituted cakes organoleptically acceptable after a storage period of 2 months. Feed compounded from Tilapia offal silage kept better than feed from fishmeal and was not mouldy after 6 months of storage......

Kimbo Slice is a Piece of Trash
With the upcoming Elite XC card just days away, it's time for more people to step up and speak out about Kimbo Slice. Dana White has worked diligently to bring respect and consistency to the sport of MMA. He doesn't put up with any crap and ensures that the people participating in the sport respect it and represent it well. In a move that works to destroy everything he has worked so hard to do, CBS is airing a card being headlined by a street fighter named Kimbo Slice. This thug has no MMA skills and is simply a brawler who's claim to fame is fighting for $20 dollar bills in a high school gym (and losing.) ESPN has picked this guy's story up and tried to glamorize it, but the fact remains that he is not a legitimate Mixed Martial Artist, just a puncher. I believe Dana said it best, when he offered to put B.J. Penn up against him and of course, BJ would destroy him. I really hope that the Elite XC show does well this weekend, so MMA and mainly UFC can make it into our prime time television viewing, but I hope it's for the fighters on the card, who respect the sport and do it well, not for some gang banger who belongs in jail.

Everhart encouraged by Duquesne's growth
College Football Videos
After playing without a full roster, Duquesne returned home Tuesday from an intense Canadian tour that saw the Dukes play five exhibition men's basketball games in four days in the Toronto area.
They performed OK, said coach Ron Everhart, following the team's only loss, a 96-89 decision Monday night against A-Game Hoops, a collection of Canadian former NCAA players and European professionals.
"I'm excited about having the opportunity to maybe be a little ahead of where we would have been had we not taken this trip," said Everhart, who welcomes five new players, including 7-foot-1, 290-pound center Martins Abele, a transfer from Radford. "We played some really competitive teams. It was great to go against some high-level opponents. These games were a bit more physical than some of our games in the States."
Canadian teams play under the sanction of FIBA regulations, which include elements such as four 10-minute quarters, a wide lane, a different timeouts structure and a 24-second shot clock.
Prior to Monday's lone loss for the Dukes, they had defeated A-Game Hoops, 82-78, in Toronto in the first of a day-night doubleheader on Sunday before routing Brock University, 109-68, in the nightcap in a game played in St. Catharines, Ontario, 70 miles south of Toronto.
"I liked the way our guys responded after a very hard-fought game and the long bus ride," Everhart said. "We were able to see a little of everything."
Duquesne, was without two incoming freshmen — 6-8 forward Mamadou Datt, who is recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery, and 6-6 Kadeem Pantophlet, who just arrived last week on campus from his native Netherlands.
In addition to Abele, whose transfer was made official yesterday, the Dukes' other newcomers are 6-4 guard/forward P.J. Torres, who sustained a slight ankle sprain against Brock and played sparingly in Monday's tour finale, and 6-4 guard Danny Herrera.
Abele, who has three years of eligibility remaining, likely will sit out this season. But in certain cases, the NCAA has granted schools a waiver permitting immediate eligibility.
Against Brock, the Dukes, who averaged 91.4 points during the five games, played in front of the biggest crowd of the trip, a gathering estimated at 400 for a game that was a last-minute addition with no advance public notice.
"They treated it like a regular-season game," Everhart said. "It was a real-game environment against experienced college-level players. We faced different scenarios with each team. We had to play fast at times and slow at times. For having 10 days of practice and putting together five games in four days, I thought our guys really adjusted well. That's what our season is all about. You have to adapt and make game-time adjustments at different times."

Bluefish are approaching their summer/fall peak of abundance and can be caught anywhere from the Rhode Island Beaches to Norwich Harbor, with the Race and reefs between Fishers Island and Watch Hill all likely to be good spots for a trip.
Fishing Report
Bluefish are approaching their summer/fall peak of abundance and can be caught anywhere from the Rhode Island Beaches to Norwich Harbor, with the Race and reefs between Fishers Island and Watch Hill all likely to be good spots for a trip.
The beautiful thing about bluefish is they will take any bait, dead or alive and greedily whack artificials ranging from tube and worm rigs to any plug in the bag. A popular method is diamond jigging in the Race, but its not necessary to brave those treacherous waters for a few choppers.
Striped bass action has picked up recently. Some of the early fall migrants may be moving into the area and as days cool off and shorten, progressively more and larger bass will begin moving into and through this region.
Having some kind of an abundant food source such as peanut bunker, adult bunker, snapper blues or any other small bait fish is all you need to find stripers.
Live eels fished along the rocks after dark is a classic, very effective method for hooking into large stripers, though if the blues get to that expensive bait first it will be turned into cigar butts by their razor sharp teeth.
Scup, Sea Bass and Fluke
Bottom fishing has been excellent for fluke all season with anglers continuing to catch limits or near limits of summer flounder from the south shore beaches and the eastern end of Fishers Island Sound.
Scup or porgies invaded rocky shorelines a few weeks ago, and by now, are providing some fast action for anglers who target them. Stay close to structures. They love to hang around marker buoys and along the outside of lobster pot strings, which often denote boney bottoms where porgies school.
Sea bass love wrecks and sparsely dispersed bottom boulders, so those anglers who have them marked on their chart recorders can catch them with surgical precision.
They will eat squid and sand worms on high-low rigs, while fluke enjoy baited jigs or jigs with a dropper baited with squid, and/or some sort of small fish. I've done well using strips of menhaden, skin on for fluke, especially if the bunker are fresh. Also try drifting with a snapper blue on the jig when targeting fluke.
The heat has caused many freshwater fish to feed early or late in the day and during cooling rains. Fish right in the lily pads during the heat of the day. Work the open water and channels around dawn/dusk and under low-light conditions.
Soft plastics are probably the best bait in most weed-choked ponds for bass. In deeper lakes, look for fish out beyond weeds near any kind of hard structure such as sunken walls, ledges, sunken brush piles or the deep end of downed trees.
Page 2 of 2 - Look for panfish such as jumbo bluegills, calico bass and schools of large yellow perch to be hanging around the same deep structures. Use small jigs fished in eight or more feet of water in deeper lakes or openings, and any holes in the weeds in the area's smaller bog-type ponds.

Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev scribbled a note on the inside wall of a boat where he was captured, saying that the April 15 attack was in retaliation for Muslims killed by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to media reports.
CBS News' John Miller, quoting law enforcement sources, first reported that 19-year-old Tsarnaev -- who was badly wounded in a police shootout three days after the bombing -- also wrote that he would not miss his older brother, Tamerlan, who had been killed only hours before, because he was a martyr in paradise and that he would be joining him soon.
The report has also been carried by CNN and NBC News.
CBS News said the sources reported that the note was written with a pen on the wall of the boat.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was badly wounded in the same shootout as his brother in Watertown, not far from where Dzhokhar was found hiding in the boat in the backyard of a home. Tamerlan died from gunshot wounds as well as injuries sustained when Dzhokar ran over his body while fleeing the scene.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been charged in connection with the bombings at the finish line of the Boston Marathon that killed 3 people and injured more than 250 people.
Tsarnaev is now being held at a prison medical center outside Boston.

You know that Content is King; however, ranking your images is just as important and your ratings can have a great deal to do with the online traffic that is generated for your business if your images get attention.
One thing that is for certain is that images are, in their own way, just as important as words. They really add a great deal to what you are offering online and they capture people's attention and entice them to continue reading what you are sharing with them. Of course, the importance of the images depends, to some extent, on your actual business. On the whole, most business stand to increase their online traffic (and ultimately will probably eventually increase their sales) because of images. Some of those professions are:
- Photographers: This is an obvious choice. The images are clearly the majority of what they are selling. However, photographers are constantly running into the danger of people using their images without permission. If they rank their images and their copyrighted material is offered to the public, they are protecting themselves from some of that.
- Websites that are driven by advertising: Those types of websites are very image driven. The more high-quality images you offer online, the more people will pay attention to your business. People generally react differently to images than they do to words. Both are very important and can be extremely powerful; however, the reaction that they invoke from the audience are different from each other.
- Websites that are selling only images: If you happen to have a website that is selling images exclusively, your rankings in the search engines are absolutely critical. Because you don't have the power of words behind what you are offering, your images must be exceptional in order to be successful.
Leveraging rankings for your images
There are many different ways in which to leverage image searches and to get people to be enticed into choosing your images over the images of your competitors.
Making sure that your images are optimized so that you rank high in the search engines
When it comes to optimizing images, it is very different than optimizing written content. There are several website testing tools that you can use to do just that. Once you have optimized your images for their size, loading times, and the impact that they will have on your server, you need to try to make sure that they are displayed as often as you would like them to be for your business. There are some things that you can do to make sure that this happens.
- Naming your image effectively: Once you have downloaded your images, if you don't intentionally name them appropriately so that other people can find them, they will end up with a generic, alphabetized name that will not be very effective when it comes to other people's searches of them. This won't be very helpful for the search engines to find and rank them well. Of course, you do have control over giving the image a more effective name, which you can link to your URL.
- Alt tags (an alt tag is used in HTML or XHTML documents to specify alternative text): If you add an alt tag to your image, you will be doing two things. First of all, you will be connecting your image to text directly.
- Use a title tag: The title tag is very important for people who are searching for your images. It does impact the search results that you should definitely take advantage of using it. It will undoubtedly enable your visitors to find your images more easily. If you aren't convinced that it actually does anything, you should use it anyway because it will only help.
- Use page copy: Page copy will help the search engines to establish the relevancy of your images. You should always connect some content (written word) with your images. Even a short caption will suffice. This allows the search engines to put your images into their context.
Images are very important for most businesses. Images can generate a great deal of traffic to your website and you should discount their importance. They have a strong connection to your content and they absolutely enhance what you are offering online. You should try to include them in your overall social media strategy and you will start to see the online traffic increase with high-quality people who have a genuine interest in what you are offering and those people will begin to interact with you on a regular basis. It is very important for you to keep an open mind when it comes to leveraging all that social media has to offer for the continued success of your business.

FARMINGTON, Utah (KTSU) -- He won't be kneeling before Zod, but he will have to stand before a judge.
Officers from the Davis County Sheriff's Office in Farmington, Utah arrested a man named Christopher Reeves Tuesday morning. Reeves is seen wearing a Superman T-shirt in his Davis County Jail booking photo.
Reeves, 33, faces several charges, including driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, possession of spice, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, unsafe lane travel and speeding.
According to a probable cause statement, Reeves was in possession of approximately 52 grams of meth, a baggie of spice, a metal pipe and a meth pipe.
Reeves also admitted to ingesting two Lortab pills about two hours before he was stopped, police said.
Actor Christopher Reeve, who died in 2004 at age 52, portrayed comic book hero Superman in four Hollywood films.

Marie Osmond confesses breast-reduction surgery in her 20s
Published November 5, 2013 10:18 am
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
You would think that at 54 and having spent most of her life in the public eye as an entertainer, talk-show host and doll saleswoman Marie Osmond wouldn't have any personal information left to divulge.
You would think incorrectly.
The longer-haired half of Donny & Marie appeared on CBS's daytime gabfest "The Talk" on Monday, and told the ladies there that she underwent breast-reduction surgery when she was in her 20s.
"I was like an E cup," Osmond said on the show (according to E! Online). "When I did' Sound of Music,' all they did was talk about the hills were alive! That's all they saw were my boobs."
The surgery wasn't just cosmetic, Osmond said, but to relieve pain in her back.

As a hypothetical lets say I am a 1ian and you are not.
if 1ians beleve anyone who steps on a sidewalk crack go to hell, and you are not a 1ian and do not suscribe to that belief then why would you care whther we think you are going to hell or not?
Reaaly I want to understand this, if you are not a christian then why do you care whether our religon approves of you or your lfestyle? I mean we are all just deluded fools who allow a 2000 year old work of fiction to tell us what to do right?

The church of Satan is a reconised tax exempt church and army chaplains are taught how to minister to them. A mosque in the mdwest despite large community protest is allowed to broadcast the call to prayer over loadspeakers. So I am afraid your persecuted non chrstians argument doesn't hold water. try again.

Corn, Soybeans End Lower
DES MOINES, Iowa (Agriculture.com)--On Wednesday, the CME Group new-crop corn market dropped settled in the $3.00 area, while soybeans knocked around the $10-plus range.
The Dec. corn futures settled 6 1/4 cents lower at $3.98.
Nov. soybean futures closed 12 1/2 cents lower at $11.03.
Sep. wheat futures ended 5 cents lower at $5.51.
The Dec. soymeal futures contract closed $2.10 per short ton lower at $355.20. The Dec. soyoil futures settled $0.67 lower at $37.30.
In the outside markets, the NYMEX Brent crude oil is $1.37 per barrel lower, the dollar is lower and the Dow Jones Industrials are 76 points higher.
Mike North, First Capitol Ag Senior Risk Advisor, says the markets are testing support levels that have been watched for quite some time. "Corn broke through $4, but will need a more convincing break to keep sellers motivated. Soybeans are hovering just north of $11. The trade is bringing together the technical elements of the market with the fundamental weight hanging over it. Weather remains cooperative as forecasts through end of July support strong pollination results and big yields," North says.

Sony-Ericsson to intro K660i, W380, W890i tomorrow?
updated 11:50 am EST, Mon November 5, 2007
Sony-Ericsson K660i Leak
The Japanese and Swedish phone partnership Sony-Ericsson is poised to launch a new set of phones on the 6th, according to a pre-release leak as well as brief mention on the company's own product pages. The K660i will attempt to bridge the gap between smartphones and smaller devices by allowing web browsing in landscape mode with a cursor; this allows sites to fit more on to a single page and also lets users jump to links or text boxes without repeatedly tapping a directional pad. The bar phone will support HSDPA only over European networks but should add quad-band GSM and EDGE access to permit calls and 2G data in the US. A 2-megapixel camera and FM radio will be built-in when the phone ships in either lime/white or black/wine color combinations before the end of the year.
The escaped details also confirm the impending release of the W890i, an update to the W880i that brings the phone to North American networks with localized HSDPA. It also upgrades the camera to 3.2 megapixels and improves the Walkman music player software on the slim device. Its release is also expected before the end of the year, though whether it would be available in the US before 2008 is uncertain.
A final device, the W380i, would be limited to 2G access but would introduce a new gesture control mechanism for music to the existing W300i phone. Early details do not explain whether this would include the shake music controls similar to earlier Walkman handsets. A VGA camera and other relatively basic features are expected for the release, which also takes place by the end of the year and should include North America given existing sales of the W300i in the area.

Salt Lake City launches cradle to career education initiative
They're calling it the Capital City Education Collaboration Agreement.
Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker and Salt Lake City Schools Superintendent McKell Withers joined with officials Wednesday from half a dozen agencies and organizations to begin forming an education framework "to cultivate a college, career and civic-ready environment."
"This is a symbolic event that binds us to a mission to do more for Salt Lake City kids from the time they are born to the day they enter college," Withers said.
The initiative, organized by the National League of Cities, is an outgrowth of the Lumina Foundation program that focuses on education and success.
The League of Cities selected Salt Lake City in 2011 to participate. It is one of eight participating U.S. cities, according to League spokeswoman Majorie Cohen.
Among those joining Salt Lake City and the Salt Lake City School District in the initiative are the University of Utah, Salt Lake Community College and the Salt Lake Chamber.
One of the group's goals is to "identify and provide access to education and career pathways for all youth and families," according to the mayor.
"This is a first of its kind for us to bring private and public sectors together in a commitment to shared goals," Becker said. "Plans don't mean anything unless they are embraced by the people involved."
Members of the new alliance will meet regularly to establish, among other things, fundraising resources and strategies and develop long-range planning and goal setting, according to the mayor's office.

The Gabardine is a relaxed hipster haunt in the thick of cash-money Bay Street. I honestly felt really odd walking into the place as it feels like the space has been transplanted from Queen Street West or Ossington. If I felt a bit awkward (awkward reads, unexpected) I wonder how the "suit and ties" who pop in here for client lunch meetings and late night team dinners feel like when their server is comfortably dressed in plaid and jeans.
The staff seem bubbly and full of energy. I'm guessing they feel empowered through their laissez-faire attire and the exemplary food they are serving to the 9-5 stiff-as-a-board bank crowd. While the economy withers and wretches along Bay I'm happy to announce that The Gabardine holds its head high with a creative cocktail list and honest yet indulgent French inspired menu.

text: The Global Wind Energy Council welcomed the agreement reached at COP 17 in Durban yesterday, but warned that both the level of ambition and the speed of the negotiations needed to increase dramatically to meet the challenge of global climate change."Yesterday's agreement was a victory for multilateralism and the climate process", said GWEC Secretary General Steve Sawyer. "Let's see if we can gather enough political will in the next few years to make it the victory for the climate that the public demands and our children deserve."The agreements in Durban provide for a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol after 2012, and established a process to come up with a Protocol or another form of legal agreement by 2015, which would enter into force by 2020. But perhaps the most important part of the agreement is the 'review' of the science in the context of the IPCC's 5th Assessment Report which Parties agreed should guide the level of ambition of the new agreements."At some point, diplomacy and short term national interests must come face to face with the facts", continued Sawyer. "Action which does not begin until after 2020 will be too little too late, and we will lock in 3°C or more of temperature rise, with disastrous economic, social and human consequences."Throughout the nearly fourteen days of negotiations, the EU, small island states, least developed countries and others fought tirelessly against the major emitters to come up with an agreement that they could live with. "We live to fight another day", concluded Sawyer. "But the margin of error from here on out is very slim, and if we don't speed up the process and raise our level of ambition, we will leave our children an extremely unpleasant legacy."

Chaffey also helped create the image that Ontario had an ample water supply. To do this, he and his brother had a shallow basin installed in front of the train depot. It is even told that the brothers hired a man to turn on the fountain when a train passed through or stopped at the station.
In 1886, Charles Frankish designed a second larger fountain to be placed in the parkway behind the Chaffey fountain. The fountain now stands in front of the Ontario Museum of History and Art at 225 South Euclid Avenue. Through the years, the fountain has been a symbol of prosperity and blessing and is regarded by old time residents as the City's unique and proudest historical landmark.

In this excerpt from the new volume The Witness of Bartholomew I, Ecumenical Patriarch — which Rowan Williams has called "a fitting tribute to one of the most independent and creative church leaders in our age" — editor William G. Rusch introduces the life and work of Bartholomew and describes the scope of the essays that follow.
* * *
The word and the concept of witness is deeply embedded in Christian faith and life. Even a superficial reading of the Scriptures discloses that for Israel and the earliest Christian communities the witness to what God had done and disclosed in history was critical. In the Christian unfolding of this story, the community of the Church can be seen as a narrative of the eyewitnesses and then witnesses to the gospel of the Father's love manifested by Christ and his resurrection, and shared by the Spirit. Christian witness to this activity of the Triune God has been seen as a hallmark of what it means to be a Christian in any age. It is worth noting that this witness has been described by the Greek word that can be rendered in English martyr. There have been occasions over the centuries when this Christian witness has indeed been costly.
In the pages that follow, the reader will encounter a collection of essays that portrays the witness, and especially the ecumenical witness, of one of the outstanding Christian leaders of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, Bartholomew I, Ecumenical Patriarch. This volume appears on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of Bartholomew's enthronement as Ecumenical Patriarch. The goal of this enterprise of some eight ecumenical theologians is to offer an insightful evaluation of the activities of the Patriarch after twenty years. All the chapters seek to provide a helpful picture that avoids flattery on the one hand and unfair criticism on the other.
Bartholomew I (born Demetrios Archontonis) was born on 29 February 1940, on the island of Imvros, Turkey. In the 1960s he attended the Patriarchal School at Halki, the University of Munich, the Ecumenical Institute in Bossey, Switzerland, and the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Gregorian University in Rome. From the last of these institutions he received a doctorate in canon law. Also during this period he was ordained a deacon and took the monastic name of Bartholomew.
In 1969 Bartholomew was ordained to the priesthood; in 1973 he was elected Metropolitan of Philadelphia. Some seventeen years later he was elected Metropolitan of Chalcedon, a most senior rank among the bishops of Constantinople. During the 1970s and 1980s Bartholomew was active in a number of ecumenical roles, including attendance at assemblies of the World Council of Churches and work of the Commission on Faith and Order of the Council. In October of 1991 Bartholomew was elected Ecumenical Patriarch, and on 2 November 1991 he was enthroned as His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.
Often in Western circles Orthodox Christians have been perceived as locked into the past, inflexible in their theological positions, indifferent to the social concerns of the modern world, and rigid in their requirements for Christian unity. In the last twenty years, as these essays demonstrate, Bartholomew has destroyed this caricature. The Bartholomew who emerges in these pages is a spokesperson for Orthodoxy, totally faithful to his tradition, and also a deeply faithful Christian aware of the context of the present world and its environment, committed to a broad vision of ecumenism, and a theologian open to the legitimate diversity of the Christian faith in the twenty-first century.
Each of these essays in its own way casts light on Bartholomew's person and contributions to individual areas. From these explorations emerges a portrait of a Christian, a church leader, an ecumenist, and a pastor whose presence in the contemporary world we should be grateful for and take heed of — whether we be Orthodox or not.

The Benefits Of Donor Breast Milk
|June 23, 2013
|Posted by Luschka under Baby Daze, Breastfeeding, Carnivals, Keep Britain Breastfeeding
The year Ameli was born, I wrote a series of breastfeeding related posts as a first time mother, entirely in love with breastfeeding. I wrote about the things I wish I'd known before I started, and about some of the very rarely known facts about breastmilk as well as reintroducing breastfeeding if you had to stop for any reason.
By the time my second National Breastfeeding Awareness Week rolled by, I had entered into the domain of 'extended breastfeeding', and attended my first breastfeeding flashmob.
In the blink of an eye, it seemed, it was the third National Breastfeeding Awareness week of my parenting time line, and I had been breastfeeding through pregnancy, through Hyperemesis Gravidarum, and breastfeeding a toddler. In fact, last year all my posts for Keep Britain Breastfeeding were around the theme of tandem breastfeeding.
As much as my own journey of breastfeeding has progressed and developed, and my babies have grown – both of whom are still nursing – I don't have a huge amount to add this year, so I thought I'd spend a bit of time this breastfeeding awareness week around the theme of milk expressing and donation, something that has been very close to my heart at times over the last few years, and particularly while I donated to a hospital for their AIDS babies in South Africa for six months.
We all know the benefits of breastfeeding now, but very few people know or understand WHY anyone would choose donated breastmilk over formula for new or preterm, or otherwise unwell babies.
Please understand this is not about guilt or about having done it wrong if you've chosen differently. It's about sharing information so that mothers can make informed choices going forward.
The World Health Organisation recommends milk given to babies should be breastmilk. If that is not possible, donor milk is the next best option. This often raises questions for people, because we trust something that comes from a shop – they wouldn't be able to sell it if it wasn't safe, right? – over simply trusting other people, and often for good reason.
Unfortunately, statistics around milk donations and recipients are ridiculously hard to come by. I've been trying to find out who the greatest users of donated breast milk are – as far as I can tell it would be the roughly 15 million premature babies born every year, but don't quote me on that – and also whether there were reported problems or statistics on actual contamination or illness from donor milk, but again, this hasn't been something I've been able to find any information on.
So, with donated milk being in many ways, such uncharted territory, why would anyone choose to use it over easily accessible formula? According to research from 2007, babies who receive breastmilk, even donated breastmilk, are at much lower risk of Necrotising Enterocolitis, the second most common cause of morbidity in premature infants, the condition where portions of the bowel undergo necrosis – tissue death. Incredibly, the risk is reduced by a whopping 79%. In statistics related to babies, that's huge.
Breastmilk is also easier to digest. A preterm baby's gut is very delicate and it absorbs breastmilk more easily because the balance of proteins is different, and designed for the human gut.
I've been searching for stories on milk donors causing a child to become ill, or spreading disease, or causing problems, but I've not had any jump out at me. Milk donors are themselves mothers to babies or young children, or in some very sad cases mothers who have lost their babies and want to give something of that baby to help other mothers and baby dyads, so I can't imagine that a mother would take illegal drugs, or do anything that would be a problem in her own milk.
Speaking to mothers of babies who had to use donated breast milk in the early days, I asked them what they felt the benefits were of using donor milk rather than formula.
Jorje from Momma Jorje's son Spencer had some trouble with his oxygen levels at birth. He also had a little trouble with the suck, swallow, and breathe reflexes, so he would get tired out while nursing. She had to breastfeed him, then top him off with a bottle, which was much less work for him. "I could have just done bottle, but I wanted him to nurse."
Jorje wanted to use a breastmilk donor, because she felt donor milk was less likely to be accidentally contaminated. "You never know when there is going to be a recall on a commercial product, but with breastmilk, if the mother had turned up with food poisoning, she'd have known long before I actually got the milk".
Kellie, who writes at Our Mindful Life, found out her son had a tongue tie and was only able to get it clipped at 7.5 weeks. In the meantime, he wasn't able to nurse or suck and wasn't gaining weight. Kellie was pumping milk, but wasn't able to pump enough to give him her milk exclusively, so she also gave him a few ounces of formula every other day. "After a few weeks, he also began to show an allergic reaction to the formula. We were told that if we couldn't get him breastmilk to take him to the hospital and have him admitted."
Asked what she felt the benefits of donor milk for her son were, Kellie says, "For us, it was hugely beneficial because it kept him out of the hospital, and kept him from having allergic reactions."
Melissa W. had a terrible experience with her daughter losing 40% of her weight in two weeks. At 8 weeks she switched to formula, but two weeks later, Arwyn developed Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), got a lot worse before she got better. After three more weeks on breastmilk, the doctor recommended swapping to formula full time, but Arwyn was throwing up everything. A week later they went to yet another doctor and discovered that she had a Milk Protein Sensitivity, and formula made her ill, but breastmilk, with or without dairy, was fine. Since then, they've been using donor milk, and Arwyn hasn't been sick again.
These are just three stories of donor recipient mamas and their little people. Read more the rest of the week to find out more about their experiences as breast milk recipients.

I agree – I had so much milk to offer and lived four doors from a donation center and as my daughter was six months and one day when I went to register with them, they said no thanks! It still annoys me. I didn't know about human milk for human babies then, (eats on feets as it was then) and six months later ended up dumping 3 liters of milk because we were moving and I had no where to keep it! Then I was in South Africa for six months and they were so grateful for every drop! The nurse told me any breastmilk – regardless of baby's age – is better than formula for the sick babies, and I donated for months. It was a wonderful gift to them, and to me!
thanks for sharing, its been interesting to read

Legislator warns of black mobs, gets smeared
Posted By Les Kinsolving On 05/21/2012 @ 7:53 pm In Commentary,Opinion | No Comments
In accordance with full disclosure, Maryland state legislator Pat McDonough is my fellow talk-radio host on WCBM in Baltimore and was one of my two Election Day guests.
On May 18, Del. McDonough called a news conference and issued a press release revealing that he had written a letter to Maryland's Gov. Martin O'Malley: "requesting the possible assistance of the Maryland State Police to work with the Baltimore City Police Department in order to prevent the consistent and dangerous attacks upon citizens by roving mobs of black youths. St. Patrick's Day witnessed another out-of-control incident involving hundreds of young people in a mob-like posture, fighting among themselves, and attacking innocent tourists and visitors to the Harbor Area.
"A number of the members of these roving mobs attacked a tourist from Virginia, knocking him out, beating him, and stealing his clothing and other valuables. This scary event was covered on video and went global, becoming a sensation, and seriously tarnishing Baltimore's image.
"Last year, a young man was murdered and a 6-year-old child was shot in the leg. This violence has been occurring on a regular basis.
"The mayor and the Baltimore City Police Department have failed to prepare adequate plans and actions to protect public safety. Frankly, the entire dangerous series of criminal activity has been covered up.
"The image of Baltimore is suffering; perhaps beyond redemption. The revenue generated by Baltimore's magnificent harbor is being challenged and harmed. Decent folks, who work in the harbor area, live there, or just visit, should not be subjected to this type of reckless brutality.
"There are even reports that some of these assaults may be racial in nature. This is not a time to cover up or abandon the good people in order to protect a false image of a city in chaos.
"Finally, I would request that the governor not only render assistance from the Maryland State Police, but declare the harbor area as a 'no travel zone' until the mayor can guarantee the safety of our fellow citizens."
This led the Baltimore Sun's editorial page to publish an unbelievably furious denunciation, in which they cited the following:
From the mayor of Baltimore's spokesman, Ryan O'Doherty, came the following statement:
"Del. McDonough's sad and racially charged publicity stunt is not deserving of a response, and Mayor Rawlings-Blake is proud of the men and women of the Baltimore Police Department for reducing crime to historic lows. As an elected official, Del. McDonough should show more respect for the work our police officers do with the community every day to make Baltimore safer."
Gov. O'Malley, a former Baltimore mayor, dismissed McDonough's suggestions, saying Baltimore had cut its crime rate more than any American city of comparable size.
"Del. McDonough should come and visit sometime," the governor said. "He might enjoy it."
Nevertheless, there were signs that McDonough's comments were resonating outside Baltimore. The Drudge Report, a well-known conservative news website, carried his remarks to a national audience.
Baltimore Sun reporter Peter Hermann wrote the following:
"On St. Patrick's Day, police confronted a downtown mob larger and more violent than previously experienced. Public reports by police in March about that volatile night did not fully relate the scope of what's described on dispatch tapes obtained by the Baltimore Sun, when 500 youths converged, resulting in more than a dozen fights, up to three stabbings and one man left unconscious."
In 1993, 353 people were killed on Baltimore city streets, accounting for the all-time high. The 1990s would conclude with 10 consecutive years of 300 or more killings. In contrast, last year the city recorded fewer than 200 killings.
WND's Colin Flaherty reported that Baltimore's mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, described the episode as "a bar brawl," and the Baltimore Sun suggested that violence at the Inner Harbor was part of an "Easter tradition" of "kids milling around."
"After the beating, police commissioner Frederick Bealefeld told reporters that the violence was an isolated incident, not racially motivated, and that only about 100 people were involved. But two months later, reporters from the Baltimore Sun listened to the audio tapes of police dispatchers and discovered that there were at least five times more people involved and much more violence, including previously unreported stabbings and beatings.
"And according to witnesses and video accounts, all the perpetrators were black.
"McDonough's 'aha' moment came two months ago when he and his wife were in the area for a charity fundraising dinner.
"'This was a Wednesday night,' he said. 'And when I stopped at the traffic light, I saw 100 young black people in the next block over fighting and walking down the middle of the street. There were no police around. No police reports. And no stories in the paper. Violence and mayhem among young black people in the Inner Harbor is the new norm,' said McDonough. 'And this has to stop.'"

Ott has big night dishing, but just one assist to show for it
Steve Ott's hero growing up was Wayne Gretzky. Say, what you want about that not fiiting his personality now, but he was once an affable kid who loved the skill side of the game.
So it didn't seem so strange on Tuesday night when Ott was channeling The Great One, and whipping passes all over the ice. He set up Jamie Benn twice on opportunities that were missed, and put one in Adam Burish's wheelhouse during a 2-on-1 that also wasn't converted. In the third period, he finally connected with Benn, who finished off a great pass that put the Stars up 3-1.
"I had the disher going, eh," he said with a smile when it was jokingly asked if he had ever had five assists in a game before. "It was good for us. We had some opportunities, and we finally got a big one there in the third."
So, coach Glen Gulutzan, did you know Ott could be such a playmaker?
"Well, yeah, that's what he said on the bench to us," Gulutzan said with a wry smile.
By the way, Ott has five assists in the last six games.

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
This jelly is a pleasant combination of tart berry flavors balanced by the pronounced nutty sweetness of the port. Its ruby glow is beyond compare.
Easy peezy new years treat.
This traditional Middle Eastern condiment is difficult to find in stores; thank goodness it's easy to make at home. The flavor is explosively sweet/tart, and goes on everything from meats and fish, to salads and veggies.
Home made mustard is the Christmas miracle gift: shamefully easy to make, wonderfully variable and incredibly inexpensive. This mustard recipe gets it's pink color from the sweet blush of pomegranate juice and bits of tart cranberries.
Quince and pomegranates are in the farmers' market right now! These two create a jewel-toned and fragrant jelly - a great holiday gift.
Make an unusual pomegranate liqueur just in time to give as Christmas gifts.
Beautiful and tasty syrup that can be made using pomegranates when in season, or bottled juice any time of the year.
A simple recipe for DIY grenadine syrup - the perfect addition to any home bar.
I invented a new type of jam I am calling Super Purple!, because it is super-antioxidant, super-tasty, and very purple.
Perfect for holiday gift giving, this syrup is so versatile! Mixed with a little soda water it's a perfectly refreshing fizzy drink, added to vodka it makes a very festive holiday libation, drizzled over ice cream it's a lovely sweet-tart dessert

Aishwarya and Salman come face to face!
07th Dec 2006 21.20 IST
By ApunKaChoice
Aishwarya Rai normally avoids going to events where her ex boyfriend Salman Khan is in attendance. But this time she made an exception.
It has been close to four years since Ash and Salman parted ways. And since then, there has been no truce between them. Not only have the two not spoken to each other, Ash has categorically turned down film offers to act with Salman and has even shunned from as much as verbally taking his name in television interviews.
But the premiere of Ravi Chopra's movie Babul on Wednesday, December 6, saw Salman and Ash present under the same roof.
The movie's premiere, held at Cinemax in Mumbai, was attended by the film's main stars : Amitabh Bachchan , Rani Mukherjee , Salman Khan and John Abraham .
Ash too was invited to the event and she walked in with her family. Abhishek Bachchan came separately.
According to a source who was present at the event, Amitabh, Ravi Chopra and Salman took the lead in meeting the guests. While Salman decorously kept a distance from Ash, sources say a few glances did exchange between them. However, the cold war is apparently still not over as they did not exchange courtesies.
However, Salman did get along very well with Mr. Bachchan and Abhishek.
'Baabul' has Salman playing a son to Mr. Bachchan. The film tells the story of a man who goes against set traditions to help his widowed daughter-in-law marry again. Rani Mukherjee plays the daughter-in-law and John Abraham plays the man who wants to marry her after the death of her husband (Salman).
The film hits the theatres on Friday.

Google Search Preview Bug
Taking a closer look at an odd bug in Google search snippet preview of an indexed Google+ post.
Every day I run a brand search query to see who is talking about us. I checked one particular mention by John Mueller which refers to a short little article/observation I posted in March. It seemed odd that such an old article is still being shared so I went to see what the deal is. I could not locate that particular article on John's recent post timeline and thought this was strange.
On closer inspection, I realised that the entire search snippet is wrong in Google search results and the preview pane.
In the above image we see a normal scenario:
- User enters search query.
- Search query displays in the result snippet.
- Preview shows the location of the content in a red border
- Tool tip style display zooms in the text to a readable level
Note the original search query:
"We knew it already but now Google confirms. Pages which give errors such as 404 or 500 eventually drop out of index and lose PageRank"
Now look at the preview pane text, it borders a totally different message and zooms in on a different piece of text:
"I hate the original, with a vengeance, but this version is infinitely better."
That was from John's share of a post by Pierre Far.
Any idea what's going on? Have you seen any other examples of this type of snippet hijacking? Please let us know on Google+

Max Pacioretty (67) of the Montreal Canadiens celebrates his second goal of the game with Lars Eller on Saturday, Nov. 30, 2013 in Montreal.

Montreal Canadiens winger Max Pacioretty realized not long ago that the obstacles to making the U.S. Olympic team were all in his mind.
"We are all human, and I was thinking about the Olympics more than I should," Pacioretty said. "As soon as I stopped thinking about it, I started to find my rhythm."
With the announcement of the U.S. roster less than a month away, Pacioretty, a Michigan alumnus, has picked a good time to be a hot scorer. He has eight goals in his past seven games. ...

The St. Louis Blues and Buffalo Sabres introduced new third jerseys over the weekend.
Blues new one and Sabres new one
The Blues' jersey looks really sharp. I like it a lot.
The Sabres' jersey, I'm not feeling it. The piping and the front number ruin it for me.
The old Sabres logo is just ok, too nothing great, but it's definitely better the the Buffaslug. Frankly I miss the buffalo head logo the organization had in the late 90s, early 00s. I also liked the third jersey, cross sabres logo at about the same time.
I posted earlier today on a message board that I wasn't digging the new tie-up jerseys. I thought the NHL "V" made them supeflous. I see now the way Paul Kariya has his that they are not. I stand corrected.
Still I like with the tie-up jerseys designers are trying for an old school look. Yet with the new, sleek jerseys they don't look right to me.
