Invergordon 1971
Single Grain - Scotland - 48.00% The most wood influenced. Medium bodied. Very focused spirit.
Adelphi Invergordon 1964
Single Grain - Scotland - 47.10% 7 A rich grain whisky on the fruity side. Interesting.
Berry's Own Selection Invergordon 38 Years Old 1971
Single Grain - Scotland - 48.00% 8 The balance between sweet and sour is perfect. A grain whisky? I would have thought of an old bourbon.
Cadenhead's Invergordon 12 Years Old, Whiskies of the World
Single Grain - Scotland - 65.30% 6 The sweetness on the palate can't tame the alcohol harshness. It has not benefited from the casks as its pale colour confirms.
Cadenhead's Invergordon 13 Years Old
Single Grain - Scotland - 67.80% 7 Paler than the Royal Mile version, and drier, too.
Dewar Rattray Invergordon 1964
Single Grain - Scotland - 51.30% 7 A pretty bundle of US oak, slathered in silky creaminess. Impossible not to like.
Dewar Rattray Invergordon 1964
Single Grain - Scotland - 52.10% 8 Shy at first but cheering up on cake aromas. A liquid pudding.
Dewar Rattray Invergordon 40 Years Old
Single Grain - Scotland - 48.10% 8 A strange, huge, dark and dense whisky. Try with Pecan pie or scallops seared in burnt butter. Surely a nod to the Ozarks?
Duncan Taylor Invergordon 1965 38 Years Old
Single Grain - Scotland - 50.10% 7 Such a long ageing has made the bourbon wood very dominating. The crisp, cleansing, hint of pine in the distillery bottling better suited a single grain.
Duncan Taylor Invergordon 40 Years Old
Single Grain - Scotland - 50.30% 8 An interesting profile. Well matured. The butyric note on the nose does not echo on the palate.
Duncan Taylor Invergordon 40 Years Old
Single Grain - Scotland - 49.00% 7 Want to get bourbon drinkers into whisky, give 'em grain! Maybe not 40 Years Old grain but it could be the way in.
Invergordon CI5517
- Scotland - 50.20% 8 That rare commodity...a mature grain. Snap it up quick the industry is in short supply!
Royal Mile Whiskies Invergordon, 22 Years Old
Single Grain - Scotland - 45.00% 6 Appetising. Some length and complexity.
Scott's Selection Invergordon 1964 47 Years Old
Single Grain - Scotland - 43.80% 8 An enticing oldie. But I bet it was in a better shape a few years ago.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company Invergordon
Single Grain - Scotland - 41.60% 3 Some pleasant touches, but not a great deal to hold it altogether in the end.
Wemyss Malts Single Cask Release Lemon Cheesecake
Single Grain - Scotland - 46.00% 8 Tender hearted and loveable. Delicious.

text: 'Prophet (s) Carpet' Sells for $5.5 Million A carpet that was commissioned in India 150 years ago to decorate the tomb of the Prophet Muhammad (s) in Medina has sold for nearly $5.5m at an auction in Doha. Bidding was expected to start at about $5m but the starting price was brought down to $4.5m as there were few buyers. The rug, known as the Pearl Carpet of Baroda, was created using an estimated two million natural seed pearls. It is decorated with hundreds of precious stones, including diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds. "We had to reduce the opening bid to $4.5m and the pearl carpet [eventually] sold at $5.458m,†including commission and fees, news agency AFP quoted Sotheby's spokesman Habib Basha as saying. The identity of the buyer has not been revealed as he wished to remain anonymous, Mr Basha said. It is believed that the Pearl Carpet of Baroda was commissioned by India's wealthy Maharaja of Baroda, Gaekwar Khande Rao, as a gift to sit at the tomb of the Prophet Muhammad (s). The maharaja's death meant it was never delivered and remained in India, being exhibited as a highlight of the Delhi Exhibition more than 100 years ago. Later, it was taken by a family member to Monaco. The tiny natural pearls, known as Basra, were harvested from the waters of the Gulf. Created in the late 1860s, the carpet is largely red and blue, with swirling vines of flowers and three large round rosettes across its centre. 11-14 March 26, 2009 by TMO 0 comments 30 viewson *The Muslim Observer, 11-14, Arts & Culture, Business/Economy, Volume 11 Share this post Facebook Twitter Google plus Pinterest Linkedin Mail this article Print this article Next: Hijab Debate Lifts Veil on Limits of Norway's Tolerance Previous: Ali Tabassi Appointed to WiMax Forum Board

Warm-You-Up Lunch: Curry Udon at Chaya in Costa Mesa
Categories: Local Eats
|Michelle Woo
Chaya is becoming a go-to spot for several of us at the Weekly. The Japanese grill (and "Internet comic café") offers hearty curry-rice plates, katsu bowls and other basic Asian fast-food-type items. The curry udon, my favorite dish so far, is spiced perfectly and packed with a good amount of onions and peppers. The noodles are cooked well, though I'd prefer them just slightly firmer. Still, at $5.99, I could slurp this often.

The Eight Basic Run Types
- By Triathlete Europe
- Published January 15, 2013
Base Run
A base run is a relatively short to moderate-length run undertaken at a runner's natural pace. While individual base runs are not meant to be challenging, they are meant to be done frequently, and in the aggregate they stimulate big improvements in aerobic capacity, endurance, and running economy. Base runs will make up a bulk of your weekly training mileage.
Example: 6 miles at natural pace

Port St. Lucie, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The New York Mets plated two runs in the seventh inning and two more in the ninth to play the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-5 draw on Friday in spring training action.
Anthony Recker and Andrew Brown both belted solo home runs off of Alexander Reyes in the seventh to pull the Mets within 5-3. After a scoreless eighth, Wilmer Flores drove home Recker with an RBI single to right, and Eric Campbell knotted the score when he plated Brown on a liner to center.
Carlos Martinez started for the Cards, allowing just a hit over three scoreless frames. His counterpart Daisuke Matsuzaka was tagged for two runs -- one earned -- on six hits over two innings.

Solar ovens offer many positive uses
Re: "Science projects that are over this mom's head"
In reading Blythe Newsome's column on how much she hates science fairs, one of her many negative statements involved solar ovens. It is unfortunate that her child's pizza box oven did not produce the desired effects. But, as many local Tallahasseeans and others around the planet have found, if built correctly, solar ovens are very effective and efficient at cooking many things. They are being built and used around the world to lower our carbon footprint, and in third-world countries are used to boil and sterilize drinking water, preventing waterborne illnesses and eliminating deforestation and pulmonary diseases that can occur from burning wood.
There is even a free local workshop this Saturday at 1:30 p.m. on how to build parabolic solar ovens. The workshop, sponsored by Rethink Energy Florida, will allow participants to make their own solar cookers and will show how to cook in them at a cost of zero dollars and zero carbon emissions.
Transition Tallahassee and the FSU Center for Participant Education are co-sponsors. Interested participants can go to http://rethinkenergyflorida.org/events/workshops to register.
Small businesses hurt by Amendment rejection
Re: "Lord have mercy, Florida voters are sane" (Paul Flemming, Nov. 9)
Paul Flemming licks his chops over the killing of Amendment 4 which would have given a small morsel of tax relief to beleaguered business owners.
His graceless delight in slaying the goose that lays the golden egg spoils the ancient receipt: "Do not rejoice when your enemies fall lest the LORD see it and it displease Him."
During the unsustainable run-up in real estate values and inevitable market collapse, local governments feasted on unrealized capital gains by refusing to roll back property tax millage rates and deprived business owners of essential working capital. Homestead property owners were immune from this market aberration because of the protections given to them by Florida voters in the homestead exemption and the Save Our Homes Amendment.
Because some political leaders poisoned the well, speaking of business owners as evil and undeserving of the fruits of their labors, it appeared unsafe to drink from the well of knowledge of equitable tax policy. And so, the voters said no to tax relief for overburdened, business owners; not knowing that they muzzle the ox while it treads out the grain.

Wells Cathedral clock, c.1392
The Wells Cathedral clock was built around 1392 and has been in almost continuous use ever since. It is the second-oldest surviving clock in England (the oldest is at Salisbury Cathedral). Similarities in construction make us think that the craftsmen went on from Salisbury to Wells to make this clock.
In the 1600s the original horizontal swinging beam mechanism called a foliot balance was replaced by a pendulum and anchor escapement to improve timekeeping. The clock also drove a display of automata figures which can still be seen at Wells every 15 minutes.
This original mechanism came to the Patent Museum in London in 1871, where new bells were added.

The last edition of the German (snake-oil) HiFi-magazine AUDIO reported on some interesting recent research on hearing. They claim humanity is made up of two types of listeners: the fundamental tone hearer and the overtone hearer. They go on and say that the former is prevalently hearing with the left side of his brain and usually prefers melodic music and higher instruments (piano, violin, flute), while the latter is hearing with his ride side and favours instruments with rich timbre (voice, bassoon, cello).
There is a simple test, to find out to which class you belong. A pair of sounds is played and you decide whether the frequency is increasing or decreasing.
Here is the file: audio.de - overtone.flac
There is a total of 12 pairs. A German-speaking voice introduces each iteration and every pair is repeated once. For each sequence jot down, whether you thought the frequency to be increasing or decreasing.
Afterwards compare your results with this table:
incr decr
1 x
2 x
3 x
4 x
5 x
6 x
7 x
8 x
9 x
10 x
11 x
12 x
The more your results agree with this list, the more you are a fundamental tone hearer. If your result is the exact inverse of the above, you are a pure overtone hearer.

Biogeochemical elemental cycling is driven by primary production of biomass via phototrophic phytoplankton growth, with 40% of marine productivity being assigned to diatoms. Phytoplankton growth is widely limited by the availability of iron, an essential component of the photosynthetic apparatus. The oceanic diatom Thalassiosira oceanica shows a remarkable tolerance to low-iron conditions and was chosen as a model for deciphering the cellular response upon shortage of this essential micronutrient.
The combined efforts in genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics reveal an unexpected metabolic flexibility in response to iron availability for T. oceanica CCMP1005. The complex response comprises cellular retrenchment as well as remodeling of bioenergetic pathways, where the abundance of iron-rich photosynthetic proteins is lowered, whereas iron-rich mitochondrial proteins are preserved. As a consequence of iron deprivation, the photosynthetic machinery undergoes a remodeling to adjust the light energy utilization with the overall decrease in photosynthetic electron transfer complexes.
Beneficial adaptations to low-iron environments include strategies to lower the cellular iron requirements and to enhance iron uptake. A novel contribution enhancing iron economy of phototrophic growth is observed with the iron-regulated substitution of three metal-containing fructose-bisphosphate aldolases involved in metabolic conversion of carbohydrates for enzymes that do not contain metals. Further, our data identify candidate components of a high-affinity iron-uptake system, with several of the involved genes and domains originating from duplication events. A high genomic plasticity, as seen from the fraction of genes acquired through horizontal gene transfer, provides the platform for these complex adaptations to a low-iron world.

In 2011 and into 2012 our campaign aims to get the people of England talking about mental health.
Mental health problems affect one in four of us yet people are still afraid to talk about it. For people with mental health problems not being able to talk about it can be one of the worst parts of the illness. So by getting people talking about mental health we can break down stereotypes, improve relationships, aid recovery and take the stigma out of something that affects us all.
We launched the new campaign name 'it's time to talk, it's Time to Change' in March 2011 with activity on TV, radio, press, digital, ambient and an excellent PR campaign working with Frank Bruno and his daughter Rachel among others talking about how talking about mental health changed their lives. Time to talk continues to run throughout 2012 with a large burst of activity in Jan 2012.
The advertising highlights the awkwardness and fear that stops many people from talking about mental health. For the first time the campaign uses humour to engage the audience. The adverts use ridiculous, over the top scenarios to convey the thoughts going through the mind of a person who is wondering whether to ask how a friend or colleague is feeling after recovering from a mental health problem. The adverts end with the 'real' scenario which reveals that the friend or colleague actually just appreciated the simple gesture of being asked and nothing scary happened at all. You can watch the TV advert at the bottom of this page.
How did the campaign do?
81% of adults in England recognised seeing the campaign after the January/February 2012 burst of activity. This is a fantastic result.
Over 4,000 pledges to talk about mental health were made and over 153,000 new visitors came to the website to find out more about the campaign.
What you can do....
Make your pledge to talk. This could be to be more open about personal experiences, to talk to a friend who has a mental health problem or maybe to share the campaign with friends online. Join thousands including Stephen Fry and Gok Wan and make your pledge to talk now.
Share our campaign. Share our new cartoons by Stephen Collins or fantastic short videos and blogs with friends online and help the campaign reach further.
Get your organisation involved. Hold activity at your place of work by ordering our free materials and raise awareness of mental health stigma and discrimination. Or ask an organisation close to you to make an organisational pledge to show their support for Time to Change.
Any questions?
The campaign FAQs may hold the answer. For any other queries please email email@example.com.

A simple ruby wrapper gem for the Gracenote Music API, which can retrieve Artist, Album and Track metadata with the most common options.
Inspired by pygn project.
Gracenote allows you to look up artists, albums, and tracks in the Gracenote database, and returns a number of metadata fields, including:
Basic metadata like Artist Name, Album Title, Track Title. Descriptors like Genre, Origin, Mood, Tempo. Related content like Album Art, Artist Image, Biographies.
Gracenote 1.2 supports TVShow queries
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'gracenote'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install gracenote
You will need a Gracenote Client ID to use this module. Please visit https://developer.gracenote.com to get yours.
Each installed application also needs to have a User ID, which may be obtained by registering your Client ID with the Gracenote API. To do this, do:
spec = {:clientID => "your_client_id", :clientTag => "your_client_tag"}
obj = Gracenote.new(spec)
This registration should be done only once per application to avoid hitting your API quota (i.e. definitely do NOT do this before every query).
Once you have your Client ID and User ID, you can start making queries.

As I move myself towards a faster, more effective set of GTD practices, I have noticed that Levenger products seem to be less and less attractive to me. A lot of their newer stuff seems either dysfunctional, over-priced, or both. They've never been cheap, but their quality has always been very good. However, I find myself seeing a lot more stuff in the ugly and useless category, and wondering if anyone actually tested these products in the real world. Does anyone have other suppliers of similar products that they like better?
No announcement yet.
Levenger- time for alternatives?

"Ugly and Useless" categories
However, I find myself seeing a lot more stuff in the ugly and useless category,
(discl: I work for Levenger, and speak with members of a few DIY communities to learn what kinds of products we should be making.) Ryan Rasmussen - DiyPc profile
My intention is not to divert attention from your question. The cross-pollination of products and methods benefits everyone. Nonetheless, I am here to listen to exactly the message your are delivering, to try to make things right.
Thank you,
Drop me a PM any time, or contact me at Ryan.Ras mussen(@)Leve nger.com. (I can also be reached at Twitter: RRasmussen)
For a paper-based solution, I find the vanilla DayTimer/DayRunner binders work great. Just get the calendar inserts you like, add some tabs, label them with your trusty labeler, add the address book (or print in appropriate format and punch), etc. Plus, I have a tab for "Capture" - works great!
Levenger and Franklin
Hi all, and especially Ryan,
You all know that I have cast about a lot for my system---and even spent a lot of time in your store at MARSHALL FIELDS in Chicago with you Ryan (it's now Macy's but I refuse to acknowledge that). Anyway I am really under a huge work crunch this year and have found that nothing beats my Franklin Planner with month view, week view, and then lots of room for lists, plans under tabs behind all this. HOWEVER, I do love the Levenger papers. And Ryan, why not kowtow to us somehow and make us some papers in those colors that will fit in our Franklin binders--mine isn't really Franklin but it might as well be? There is nothing more substantial than a ring binder and I don't have to worry about my papers falling out, getting worn from moving them around on those plastic rings when I use my Franklin.
Now the downside is carrying the thing around...as we all know. It sucks. But after trying everything else, it is what I come back to and, pain that it is, it works. Better than that, it supports my life.
What I am about ready to do is cut strips off my Levenger stockpile, punch holes in the pages and slap them in my binder. The paper IS gorgeous and fun!! I love it. Franklin pages are so vanilla, but functional and functional has to come first right now.
xo, Trish:
Since you asked...
I'm a big fan and a heavy user of many Levenger products. However, I am extremely disappointed with Levenger's 3x5 cards. Great concept, lousy execution.
The problem is that index cards don't have room for wide margins, but Levenger insists on using them anyway. As a result, the writing area on a Levenger card is only about 2.5 x 3.75, or less than 2/3 of the card's area. Worse, the margin is non-symmetric, forcing the card into a vertical orientation whether that's what the user actually wants or not. That might be desirable for a ruled card, but I like grid and blank cards precisely because they're orientation-neutral.
The reason for the wide margin is obvious from Levenger's catalog: it leaves room for personalization. While I'm sure personalization is a lucrative revenue stream for Levenger, I'm also sure that it is irrelevant to the vast majority of index cards, which are used for the purchaser's personal notes.
Might I suggest taking a lesson from Levenger's own Wallet Cards? These are business card sized, with grid on one side, lines on the other, and a narrow margin all the way around. I love them, but they're too small. If they came 3x5 sized, I'd order them by the thousands. (And would be correspondingly more likely to order from Levenger's wide selection of 3x5 card accessories.)

My runway still gets muddy when it rains ...
Circa 3x5 "PDA"
I started using the Circa 3x5" PDA notebook with plastic covers + Tab Dividers.
I need a pocket sized system for NA lists and quick capture. The PDA offers the excellent Leveneger notecard stock in a easy-reorganziable Circa binder. (I also punch my own cards as needed.)
Very handy to pull out a card and hand it to someone else at dinner to jot notes for you, and replace in the pocket-sized binder before it gets lost. You can also place a few loose PDA cards in a Pocket Briefcase (same size) and add them back to the PDA. You get the idea
I agree with Katherine the there is a bit too much "wasted" space at the top margin, but since the Circa holes occupy some real estate, the waste is less of an issue, and not bothersome to me.
Made a useful discovery: the Micro PDA cards (these are Circa-punched business card sized note cards) are the same size as the Wallet Cards. So, you can use the Micro PDA (Circa punched) cards in the Wallet and other gear that supports the Wallet Card system, and easily add those cards to other notes in the PDA or other Circa binder when necessary.
I recently switched back from my letter size Circa binder to my 7 ring Day Runner mainly because I am on the road (in the car) everyday in my outside sales job, and I find the 7 ring works better for me than the Levenger/Circa. I'm constantly flipping around, and I'm a bit rough with my binder and I got tired of the Levenger paper coming out or off the rings.
I love Levenger / Circa products, but the 7 ring works better for me. I will continue using the Levenger paper and I even suggested to them that they come out with a 7 hole paper line.
I had about 6 Levenger note pads left that I 7 hole punched for my binder.
They are a great company, customer service is awsome!
Just my 2 cents!

Let me give one example from a new product line, the Cubi.
The Cubi triple decker is a set of 3 desk trays that have front faces and behave like drawers: you have to pull them out to access each compartment, taking up extra desk space and slowing you down. The Cubi Adjust-A-File is an upright file holder that is not stepped. This means you either have to stand partially upright to see labels or, more likely, turn your head sideways and stand up to read labels. I think the large leather facings on the line are not very attractive, and would prefer plain wood or more modest trim. I hope there is a market for attractive, sturdy, functional officeware, but there sure isn't a lot out there.
Let me give another example from a Levenger staple, folios and notebooks. Currently, I am carrying a Softfolio in my briefcase and my wife has the Tyler folio, and we have a few others that we occasionally use for travel, et cetera. I find myself using a less expensive folio from Buxton, also in my briefcase, more often than the Softfolio. I like the Softfolio better, in many ways: it's thinner, folds back on itself in a pinch, wonderful leather. However, the horizontal slit pockets are difficult to get papers in and out of, maybe 5 seconds every time. Although I would like to keep print-outs of my calendar and next-action lists in the Softfolio, I don't because I am looking at them all the time. The Softfolio also has a zipper compartment. It's too big for receipts (and how many people carry their folio around for that?), but it's just a bit too small to easily get letter-size sheets out, so I don't use it. I think the Tyler is better with its vertical slit pockets, but I also know my wife uses it less than a less expensive folio with a different pocket design. From my point of view, a great design would have 2 diagonal slash pockets, and a full-size vertical slit pocket underneath those for hiding papers. An outside stash pocket might be nice. Somebody must want a double folio with 2 pads of paper, but it's not me. I want thin, and that seems to mean no zipper either. And could somebody check to make sure the junior-size folios can accomodate a letter-size paper folded once, rather than being just a wee bit too small? As others have said, the traditional classic size planner is more functional, because it is designed for exactly half an 8.5 x 11 sheet.
Sorry for being long-winded (long-typed?), but you asked.Last edited by mcogilvie; 09-12-2007, 10:36 AM. Reason: typo correction
I'm sure someone has suggested this.
But just in case...
First, The pocked sized Moleskine goes for about $9.95, not including shipping. Has 192 pages. A pilot G2 pen works best.
Second, here's a modified Moleskine that will work with 3x5 cards easily:
For example, here:
and here:
Now, third, check out this:
And this:
This according style memo filer Moleskine can hold quite a number of 3x5s and even dividers too.
I like the regular Moleskine, portrait (upright) style, with lines. Works great, and I can keep items in the notebook's envelope-type back pocket. I like to keep a record of my days on this notebook in chronological order.
You can go thinner and cheaper with the Cahier version, paperback, with 64 pages each. Get 3 for 6.95.
And I don't work for Moleskine, just like them!
I also suggest going to http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=moleskine+hipster and look at the many varieties!
Alternative to Levenger
Get 3 x 5 post-it notes. Get some regular 3 x 5 cards. Get a rubber band.
For each context you have, or for each special list, write the name of that list on a 3 x 5 card.
Write each item, question, action step, thought, fact, someday/maybe, tickler, whatever, on a 3 x 5 PostIt note. Stick the PostIt note on the appropriate card. So if you have a 3 x 5 card labeled, "Calls", all the postit notes that are about calls you need to make stick to it.
Rubber band or clip together the ones you want to carry around, along with some blanks.
Keep notes on the PostIts as you do the next actions. When complete, they're either thrown away or put them into the project folders to which they belong, if you want a record.
Want to sort the priority of all the desk postits or call postits? Should take about 10 secs.
Infinitely flexible. Cheap. Light. Fun.

The Great Compression: How War And Taxes Made Us All Middle Class, And Why That's Changed
Posted by: Mark Gimein on December 14, 2011 at 8:30 AM
Last week, my colleague Dan Beucke wrote about the latest work of economists Thomas Piketty, Emmanuel Saez, and Stefanie Stantcheva, who presented a case for top tax rates as high as 83 percent. That rate essentially is confiscatory: the point of it really is not just to raise revenue for the government, but to put a limit on how high incomes should go. That's an idea very foreign to the debate today—but it wasn't always so, and if you want to understand the 20th century history of the income gap, it's worth looking closely at the times during and after the Second World War when that kind of taxation was public policy.
But first a little back-story: The obvious question to ask about the explosion of income at the top is why, especially in the US, it has taken off so fast since the 1980s. Piketty and Saez have done a lot of work analyzing top incomes around the world, though, and they raise a related and subtly different question: not "Why has the income gap grown?" but "Why did the income gap fall dramatically during the Second World War and stay so low through the 1970s?" When it comes to income, you can think of that period as The Great Compression. And what needs explaining is not why there's a big income gap—that's been the situation through most of history—but why in those four decades the gap narrowed so much.
Here's where things get interesting. Nominally, the Piketty/Saez/Stantcheva paper is about the most economically efficient tax rate for high incomes. Get past the pages of equations, though, and a lot of it is really about building an economic model to answer that question about the Great Compression. That model goes something like this:
During World War II tax rates rose to confiscatory levels because it was believed that very high incomes reflected profiteering, not real work. With the government taking so much money, managers lost their incentive to bargain for extravagant wages. High tax rates through the 1970s reinforced the social perception that there was an upper acceptable bound to incomes. Dan's already quoted the authors' key line on this:
"Policy makers at that time probably considered—rightly or wrongly—that at the very top of the income ladder, pay increases reflect mostly greed and socially wasteful activities rather than productive work effort."
When tax rates got cut, things didn't go back instantly to where they'd stood decades earlier (as they might have if people were just hiding income from the IRS). It took a long period of tax cuts and social changes for managers and stars to recognize and use their full bargaining power. That has brought us to where we are now, with the income share of the top slice of earners just about back to where it was the 1920s.
The data on this is well known, but if you haven't seen it, here's a chart of the share of income going to the top one percent in the US. The Great Compression is the big trough in the center.
Piketty, Saez and Stantcheva dance around explicitly taking a position on just how much of the income at the top is a product of waste and collusion among managers. There's "rightly or wrongly," and the next sentence about how "it's a complicated empirical issue." Really, though, it's pretty clear where the authors stand. The 83 percent tax rate they talk about in their latest work is actually a bit lower than rates went in World War II and the post-war years. The National Taxpayer's Union, an anti-tax group, has a chart of those, with top rates reaching 94 percent in the war and remaining at 91 percent until 1963.*
Rates that high are designed to discourage any company from paying the kind of salaries at which they'd kick. They're really a de facto income cap. That's certainly one solution to the rising income gap. I think right now, though, it's a solution for which there will be very few takers.
Piketty, Saez, and Stantcheva might chalk that up to how thoroughly the wealthy have changed the terms of the political debate, but there's a lot more to it than that. Just as some on the left miss the relative economic equality of the post-War years, there are plenty on the right who miss the Ozzie and Harriet mores. There's no going back to that, for either the left or the right. And there's justification even for those who don't make mega-incomes to suspect that confiscatory taxes at the top of the economic scale will also mean higher taxes lower down.
Still, the 83 percent tax is a good thought experiment. The income gap can narrow only if (a) if incomes at the top get pushed down, (b) income gets redistributed through taxes or (c) wages at the bottom and middle rise a lot, and fast. The Piketty/Saez/Stantcheva paper basically argues for (a)—that's what happened in the Great Compression. It's pretty clear that a lot of folks would prefer (c)—in fact, I'd argue strenuously that if you really care about poverty, not just punishing the rich, you should definitely prefer it. Much of the current discussion of that, though has been little more than wishful thinking. Capping the incomes of the wealthy seems like neither a direct nor an efficient solution to the problems of the poor and middle class, but it does underline just how far we are from a better one.
*Those brackets applied to incomes of $200,000 (later $400,000) and up. There were some very high pre-war brackets, but only for a tiny slice of incomes. The highest pre-war rate of 79% only kicked in at $5,000,000.

Jennifer Lawrence's ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult has revealed that he took up knitting as a hobby while he filmed his upcoming movie Mad Max.
The 'About A Boy' actor admitted that he became "obsessed" with the therapeutic pastime while he shot scenes for the movie remake in Africa alongside fellow British star Tom Hardy.
Nicholas has revealed he was knitting up a storm (Ai-Wire/WENN)
"A make-up artist taught me. I've stopped. Although I did become obsessed with it," the 23-year-old revealed to the Radio Times.
And it seems the heartthrob developed quite a knack for knitting while he spent seven months away from the UK, admitting that he managed to make an impressive eight items.
"I made two scarves, a snood and five hats. It was such a masculine set," the star added.
Despite raising his profile significantly in recent years, helped by his role in the X Men franchise, Hoult confessed that he wasn't always dedicated to his art.
"I really enjoyed making 'About a Boy'. But if there was a cricket game going on next door, I'd be more interested in playing in that than doing the scene. It wasn't like I was thinking, 'Oh, this is gonna be a career, let's focus on acting.'"

| Eye infections: Pinkeye
A: Viruses, bacteria or fungal agents all can cause eye infections. Little hands that wipe runny noses often wipe the eyes too, transferring the infection. Read on to learn more about pinkeye, its symptoms and how to treat it.
Conjunctivitis, or pinkeye, is an inflammation of the thin lining (the conjunctiva) that covers the white of the eyeball and the inner surface of the eyelids.
Any virus or bacteria that infects the nose or throat can find its way into the linings of one or both eyes (or conjunctivae). Infections here, known as conjunctivitis (or pinkeye), produce a reddish discoloration and thick, discolored drainage. Other symptoms may include watering eyes and itching or irritation.
Conjunctivitis caused by bacteria usually produces a thick discharge that gathers on the lids. In the morning, the eyelids may appear crusty or even stuck together. A warm, wet washcloth will remove the crust and unstick the lids. (Be sure to launder the washcloth before using it again to prevent spreading the bacteria to others.) Bacterial conjunctivitis will usually respond to antibiotic drops or ointment within a few days.
Conjunctivitis caused by viruses tends to be accompanied by a more watery drainage than with bacterial infections, but in some cases the redness and swelling can be very intense. In most cases, the infection will run its course in 10 to 14 days. As with all viral infections, antibiotics will have no effect on this form of conjunctivitis.
The bacteria or viruses that cause conjunctivitis can be quite contagious through direct contact: little hands rub infected eyes, then touch toys or other children, whose fingers then touch other eyes and noses, including their own. Toddlers and smaller children with these infections should be kept out of day-care situations until the problem is calmed down or at least until treatment is well under way. Check with the child's physician. Careful hand washing is a must for anyone who has pinkeye or is around someone who has pinkeye.

AFRICA/MALI - The Archbishop of Bamako participates in negotiations on the crises
Bomako (Agenzia Fides) - There was Mgr. Jean Zerbo, Archbishop of Bamako, in the delegation of civil society who attended the talks held last weekend in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) with the military junta and political parties in Mali, in order to find a way out of the crisis following the coup of 22 March. This is what was reported to Fides by sources of the Episcopal Conference of Mali.
"The meeting in Ouagadougou was intended to develop the next stages of transition and discuss the appointment of the future Prime Minister" specify the sources of Fides. "The Premier could be named today or tomorrow, while progress has been made to define the process of transition." The coup leaders have reached an agreement, negotiated by ECOWAS (West African economic community), to initiate a transition phase, whose first act was the appointment of an ad Interim Head of State, the President of Parliament Dioncounda Traore, who will lead the country for 40 days, after which new bodies of the government will be created.
"At a political level the situation is improving day by day, also in the north of the Country, which is in the hands of various armed groups" continue Fides sources. "The President ad interim has sent an envoy to Nouakchott (Mauritania) to meet the leaders of the MNLA (National Liberation Movement of Azawad, the " secular " independence movement that shares the control of the north with the jihadi groups). It seems that even with the jihadists there are preliminary contacts ".
"The main concern of the Government of Mali is to create humanitarian corridors to send food and medicine to the people of the north who are cut off from the rest of the Country. Negotiations are being carried out in this sense " our sources highlight.
"With the rebels of the MNLA one can reach an agreement even if it is not easy, because they have declared the independence of Azawad (northern Mali). We need to find a political formula that satisfies all parties. With the Islamists things are even more difficult because most of the inhabitants of the Country do not want an Islamic regime in power," concludes the source of Fides. (L.M.)

Sometimes it's much easier to get the answer you need from another person than to spend time searching for it. A service called Wondir, makes it possible to ask questions on any topic and get answers from other members of the community. The service is completely free and supported by advertising from Google.
Wondir has been around for a couple of years (here's a 2002 story from SearchDay) but the official launch of the service came yesterday. Stop by, ask a question or share an answer. You don't have to be a registered member of the community to use the service. However, registered users gain access to many features including an question alert service. Additional details in this news release.
Wondir is being led by info industry veteran Matt Koll. Matt is the person Chris and I credit in our book with coining the term, Invisible Web. Here's a link to a Q&A interview with Dr. Koll that I put together last year.
Btw, Wondir isn't the only place you can have questions answered for free. Most libraries (public, academic, even The Library of Congress) offer "virtual reference" services where you can interact with librarians and ask questions via an IM like tool. Not into IM? Most libraries also offer e-mail and telephone reference service. More about virtual reference in this post.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.
- Filed Under
The Press-Gazette editorial staff is correct - Sen. Ron Johnson's lawsuit against the Obama administration for exempting Congress and staffers from complying with Obamacare is not a stunt. However, suggesting that Johnson should go through Congress instead of the courts ignores why he filed the suit.
The media never challenges Obama's faux complaint that "Congress won't act." But in reality it's the Senate controlled by Harry Reid that has become Obama's gatekeeper who won't allow any bills or amendments go forward unless approved by the administration. Over 200 bills were passed by the House in 2013, but only a very few were allowed to be voted on in the Senate.
Suggesting that Johnson's lawsuit should go through Congress when the media knows it would never get past Sen. Reid is disingenuous. By creating a straw-man obstructionist Congress the president justifies circumventing the legal process to sign more executive orders. In reality it's a perfect scheme between Obama and Reid to neuter Congress, blame Republicans for inaction and then make a totally unjustified case to create or manipulate laws as he pleases.
If Obama followed the law and Reid allowed the senate to function properly, Johnson would not have to take this action.

|In regards to the northern militia, they didn't need to actually fight a battle with the ANV to be effective. Just by burning the bridges over the Susquehanna River they could have held up Lee for at least a week. Lee would have been alone in unfriendly territory. Not a good position to be in. By the way, Brazil was only recognized after a bitter debate in parliament, and the UK kept enormous pressure on the Kingdom until they finally did abolish slavery. But even if England had recognized the Confederacy, what then? The Royal navy might have broken the blockade, but the blockade was never very effective in the first place (see Archer Jones, "Why the Confederacy Lost"). If the South was to win, and I think they had excellent chances to do so, it would not have been at Gettysburg.

BARNSTABLE — Unremarkable in its appearance, the black jacket presented Tuesday during the trial of Andrea Mastandrea marked the first time in two days that physical evidence connecting her vehicle to the death of Andrew Dexter II was presented.
The jacket, which Dexter, 17, was wearing when Mastandrea struck and killed him Jan. 1, 2010, as he walked down Head of the Bay Road in Buzzards Bay, displayed tears a state police chemist said could have been caused by Mastandrea's 2003 Ford Explorer.
It was one of several items Cape and Islands First Assistant District Attorney Michael Trudeau presented as evidence connecting Mastandrea's SUV and Dexter's body.
Although dozens of pieces of physical evidence were introduced, Tuesday's session initially focused on the hours leading up to the crash.
Several of Mastandrea's co-workers at Mezza Luna restaurant testified that she was with them when they gathered in the bar area after their shift that night.
Mastandrea had a beer, a shot of tequila and a small amount of sparkling wine during a midnight toast, co-worker and "very good friend" Matthew Kemmett testified.
A group of employees then went to Marc Anthony's pizza restaurant in Onset, where she had at least one more beer, co-workers testified.
But Kemmett and Derek Griffith, Mastandrea's then-boyfriend and now-husband, said she did not seem intoxicated.
It was as she drove home around 2:30 a.m. that she hit Dexter.
Jean Booth, a Wareham bartender on her way home a few minutes earlier, testified that while driving on Head of the Bay Road she had to swerve to avoid a young male who was walking in the road just over the fog line.
But two crime scene experts testified that when he was hit, Dexter likely became stuck between the car and the guardrail.
Griffith testified Tuesday that he lingered in the Mezza Luna parking lot after Mastandrea headed home that night, and that she "was angry" he was late but not upset about anything else.
Phone records showed she had called Griffith five times in 12 minutes beginning at 2:44 a.m.
After Griffith arrived home, Mastandrea mentioned she hit something but "told me she didn't know what she hit," Griffith said.
The next day, when shown a news article about Dexter's death, Mastandrea became upset and wanted to go to police, but Griffith suggested she consult a lawyer first, he said.
Mastandrea first went to the Bourne police station on Jan. 4, 2010.
She is charged with motor vehicle homicide by negligence, leaving the scene of an accident causing death and driving an uninsured vehicle. In a motion filed before the trial, attorney Edward Gargiulo stipulated that Mastandrea was the driver of the vehicle that killed Dexter.
The jury-waived trial, presided over by Judge Robert C. Rufo, was scheduled to resume at 9 a.m. today.

NFL: Colts coach Chuck Pagano honored for resilience
Chuck Pagano spent most of last season finding new ways to coach football.
During his ordeal of chemotherapy treatments for leukemia, he watched games from his bed with his wife, communicated with players and assistants by phone and text messages and scoured game film on his home computer. The Colts responded with one of the greatest turnarounds in league history and an improbable run to the playoffs.
On Monday, the Professional Football Writers Association selected Indianapolis' inspirational coach as its George Halas Award winner for overcoming adversity.
"I am honored and humbled to receive this award," Pagano said in a statement released by the team. "The encouragement I received from my family, friends, the Irsay family, the Colts organization, the city of Indianapolis and fans around the country was overwhelming. The outpouring of prayers, love and support from a community that hardly knew me, made me realize how fortunate and proud I am to serve this organization and city."
Hired in January 2012, Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia in September and took a leave of absence after only three games. The team began winning under offensive coordinator Bruce Arians while Pagano underwent treatment for 12 weeks. Under their guidance, the young Colts rebounded from a 2-14 mark in 2011 to 11-5 in 2012 and a surprising playoff berth.
Johnson released
A contrite Chad Johnson apologized Monday for disrespecting a judge when the former NFL star slapped his attorney on the backside in court last week and was released from jail in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after only a week instead of 30 days. Broward County Circuit Judge Kathleen McHugh accepted Johnson's apology and cut back his jail term for a probation violation.
Around the league
Packers • Receiver Donald Driver, who retired in January as Green Bay's all-time leading receiver after 14 years with the team, says he will be ready to play if the Packers call and say they need his help this season.
Bengals • Cincinnati will star in the training camp documentary show "Hard Knocks" for the second time in five NFL seasons, HBO announced.

The first rule of thumb is that you should never beg your ex to come back to your side. Based on various case studies I knew of, begging your ex to come back never works. This can't make the getting back together successfully, instead it can harm the relationship to the extend that you will never win back your ex at last. This is crucial.
You might have heard of some advices that recommend you to date a new person in order to make your ex jealous. This never works either! This is very dangerous! Not all the people are the same as some people are easily irritated. Such a childish act for dating a new one can most likely drive your ex away rather than pulling them back to your side.
Finally, you shouldn't ask friends or families of your ex to say good things about you. Doing so will look untruthful and insincere. Don't do this if you don't want to drive the relationship to dead end.
I hope these tips can help in your effort to win back ex.
Proceed to this win ex back guide to see how to win back ex fast.]]>
Many people fail to win back their loves because they do this in their own way. In my opinion, we can't afford to waste any single opportunity to get back your loved one. We need a systematic way with higher success rate. Following own way can possibly set yourself up to the worst situation where getting ex back is impossible. Since you're reading this post, I believe you might have already understood the importance of it.
I was so depressed after Sarah had left me. I lost my appetite and focuses on work. I felt lonely, felt like losing the purpose of life. I told myself, I couldn't just sit there and do nothing, I gotta find out a way to win back Sarah. So, I started my research online looking for some tips to help me. Many seemed useless and some seemed feasible..Luckily, I did find a precious gem, I referred to the advices and instructions in it and modified them slightly to suit my own situation. And, it worked great!
What I want to emphasize in this post is that, no one can be responsible for your happiness of life except yourself. If you really think that you still love your ex, just go! Go to chase him or her back.. Research and find out a method that suit you so as to win back your ex boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband..
I've written down the experience-based & easy-to-implement guide to win back your ex which I think to be useful to help you get some ideas of how you should go about your plan. So, feel free to use it, I believe your happiness will be arriving sooner or later as long as you're willing to start working it out today on how you can get your ex lover back by referring to the right and proven strategy.]]>
After you have apologized to your ex with sincerity, changed your image to attract your ex and practiced the "hobby attack" to regain trust from you ex, it is now the time to add some sweeteners to enhance the taste of the relationship in the process of chasing back your ex.
A thoughtful small gift comes into picture. A right gift presented at the right time can repair an almost fixed relationship in a very massive way.
For my case, I designed and made a beautiful album pasted with our family photos which were taken during every gatherings. I presented the gift to Sarah together with a self-designed hand written letter which stated my love and determination to changing to a better husband and father.
Believe me, a thoughtful small gift can play an important role to fix your relationship or marriage. If you think your ex is your loved one who you can stay together life long with, do not hesitate from taking action today to get him or her back. With a right attitude, correct method and sincerity, you can definitely get your ex back in no time
I would call the method "Hobby Attack". Okay…I know the name is kind of weird. But, let me explain..
Do you know what does your ex like most? What are the things your ex is always crazy about? You should be able to name one if not a few.
My wife likes photography a lot. Before she left me, she had always talked a lot about photography. She had shared a lot about lens, image editing software, aperture stuff, camera updates etc to me, and I just nodded without really focusing on what she was talking about. After Sarah had left me, I missed her so much. I started to pay some attention on photography because whenever I immersed myself in the world of photography, I felt so close to Sarah. I liked that kind of feeling. The more I learned about photography, I found myself to be more interested in it.
One day, I called Sarah out for a lunch so that I could meet up with my 2 kids. I interacted a lot with my kids during the lunch but talked less with Sarah as she seemed to be not that willing to talk to me. Until one moment, miracles happened! I saw one man holding a brand new camera next to our table, I just unknowingly started to comment on the camera. Out of surprise, Sarah responded and she started to comment on the camera as well.. We started to talk to each other about the latest news and trend of camera.. What followed? I think you can guess.. We came out more and more and talked more. Eventually, I got her back!
This is definitely useful and being personally proven by me. Do not afraid to give it a try as it works like a love spell to get your ex back.
After the apology you have to let yourself as well as your ex to take some time to sort the emotion out.If you keep on looking for your ex just after the apology, it can make you look weak. Your ex would have a very negative impression on you. Constantly calling or finding chances to look for your ex simply means that your become less appealing to them. A needy image will be projected in the eyes of your ex. Needy simply means desperate. Desperate just means that you are not valuable to them.
Now, you need to cheer yourself up and start to go about changing yourself as what you've promised your ex to. In order to do so, you must not be spending all your time on your own. It's very easy to emphasize on the feelings your ex has walked out of the relationship and you might be starting to doing nothing but thinking about your ex.
My Advice is that you can spend more time with your family and friends. I know it's not very easy especially when you're still under the emotion of losing your ex. But, if it's the way to make you have a clear mind to think on how to change yourself and rectify your behavior to a good one in order to regain trust back from your ex, you gotta do it. You might think that it's not fair that only you're the one who is doing all the changes! Please do not feel like this, when your ex discovers that you're sincerely making all the changes, he or she will start to reflect on what he or she has done wrong and start to take care of his or her own issues and mistakes. (The best case scenario is that he or she has already start to do so after your sincere apology)
Remember back to the time of the sweet honeymoon time? What were the factors that have attracted your ex? This is very important. Try to recall and retrace back.. Why were you so attractive to your ex? You need to turn back time. You need to change back to the one that your ex liked previously. This point is vitally important in the process to chasing back you ex.
So, now it's time to go out of the dismay and start to build a new image in the eyes of your ex. Start to make a change and you'll see the result and win back your ex lover soon! At least, I have impressed Sarah by having done so..
You might be the one who made some mistakes which led to the break up. Never beat yourself up. What you have to do now is to get up and think of what you've done wrong and what steps you have to take to save your marriage or relationship. It is not that easy to come up with an effective apology to get ex back until you know the essential purpose of an apology.
You've to understand that you're not going through the motion of an apology because you think you have to do so, or you think it's what your ex wants to hear from you. You have to put yourself in his or her shoes to understand what he or she is objecting to. You've to understand his or her point of view. List down the things which he or she is objecting to and tackle them.
No matter you're about to plan to win back your ex boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband, you have to show your attitude to your ex with sincerity and seriousness regardless of what gender you're. You've to show to him or her that you care about the relationship. While you apologize, you've to let your ex feel that you've completely understood his or her point of view and you have the determination to change to what he or she wants to see or want you to be.
Before you call for an apology, it's better off having a plan. Remember to jot down what you have planned to say as it might come to a situation where you have forgotten what you have planned before hand. If you decide to meet your ex up face to face, make sure you memorize well the sequence of points which you're planning to say. An apology can't be successful without a good preparation. Of course, the apology must seem natural but not "artificial".
Although you've so much to say during the conversation. You can't just keep on bombarding him or her with your words of apology. Make sure that your let him or her to have space to talk and you have to listen with sincerity. You show your respect for your ex as a good listener.
After you apologize, you should convey the message that you will let your ex to have time to cool down for not calling him or her often. You've to promise that you'll use this period of separation to reflect on yourself and change to be a better one for him or her. Of course, you have to keep your promise and let your ex see your changes. These changes can unconsciously attract your ex again.
Okay, when you have fully prepared to apologize to your ex. But, what if your ex doesn't wanna reply your call or text? Here comes an advice with proven statistics, you can text your ex saying that you have something very important to tell him or her and it won't take up much time. Or you can say you want to meet your ex up as you want to thank him or her for the things your ex has done for you. Curiosity works wonder! Most likely, you ex will reply the message. Got it?
Trust me. If you followed the methods I told you, you're well on your smooth way to get your ex back in no time.

Verona, Italy, the capital of Verona province in the northern region of Venetia. It is situated on the Adige River 60 miles (97 km) west of Venice. Verona is a rail and highway junction on the route leading southward from the Brenner Pass in the Alps. Manufactured products include machinery, paper, drugs, plastics, printed goods, and furniture. Verona has many medieval buildings. The cathedral, built during the 12th to 15th centuries, has an altarpiece by Titian. The Roman amphitheater, only slightly smaller than the Colosseum in Rome, can seat 27,000 and is used for opera performances.
Verona was occupied by the Romans about 200 B.C. It was a leading city in the Lombard League in the 12th century and reached its peak in the 13th. Shakespeare's Romeo and Julietportrays Verona in the 14th century when it was torn by strife between rival noble families. The city came under the control of Milan in 1387.

It is less than obvious how to connect a Commodore 64 to a modern television, especially if your C-64 didn't come with the cables or the manual.
There are, as it turns out, several ways to do it.The C-64 and 128 have an RCA jack on the back that matches the RCA jacks on the front of most televisions. Confusingly, this isn't the key.
That RCA port sends out a modulated RF signal, not a standard video signal. To use that port, you need a switchbox that connects to your TV antenna. Commodore used the same switchbox as Atari, so you may have one laying around or be able to find one in a box of ancient computer and videogame cables. Those switchboxes used to be a standard item at Radio Shack, so you may get lucky there. Or there's always Ebay.
If your TV has a round antenna connector rather than a two-wire connector, you're in luck. All you need is a converter. Radio Shack part number 278-276 is equivalent if you want to get it today, but it's cheaper at Amazon. If you go to Radio Shack, ask for that part number specifically–if you ask for a part to connect a Commodore to a television, don't expect to get far. Incidentally, that same part also works with Atari consoles (Atari 2600, anyone?) and 8-bit computers like the Atari 400 and 800.
But that's not your only option, and today, it's not even the best option. Near that plug, you'll find a round DIN-type plug. On most C-64s and the C-128, it has 8 pins. On the very early versions of the C64, it has 5 pins.
Commodore video cables have the proper DIN plug on one end and RCA plugs on the other. If it has two plugs, it'll plug right into the composite video and audio plugs on the front of most modern televisions or VCRs. The color codes should even match. If the video cable has three plugs, what you have is actually separated composite, an early implementation of S-Video. No problem; get a Y-adapter such with a male connector on one end and two female jacks on the other end (Radio Shack part # 274-881), plug the red and yellow RCA plugs from the Commodore cable into that, and then plug the adapter into the video plug on your TV.
What if you can't find a Commodore video cable? If you're handy with a soldering iron, you can make your own cable with parts from Radio Shack. You'll need a 5-pin DIN plug, two male RCA plugs, and two lengths of speaker wire. Shielded cable like RGU-58 would be better, but isn't totally necessary.
Here's the pinout on the Commodore video port.
no connection -----8 7-----no connection 6---------chroma out audio out -----3 1----- luminance (B & W signal) audio in -----5 4----- composite video out 2----- ground
Solder one wire from each of your lengths of speaker cable to pin 2 on the DIN plug. Solder the other end of each wire to the outside post of each RCA connector. Solder the other wire of one cable to pin 4 and to the RCA plug, and label that wire pair "video." Solder the remaining wire to pin 3 and to the other RCA plug, and label that wire pair "audio."
If you have a S-Video plug on your TV and you want a higher-quality display, I have instructions for a Commodore-to-S-video cable.
Way back when, a Commodore monitor gave a much nicer picture than a television, because the switchbox degraded the signal significantly. But a modern TV with standard RCA video connectors gives at least the same quality display that a Commodore monitor did, if not better, since picture tubes have improved in quality in the last 20 years.
I saw a search for this in my logs and I don't know how many people have ever explained how to do this. In the 1980s it seemed almost obvious, but times have changed.
