Minimum wage effects are arguably the most-researched in economics. To even a casual armchair economist, the effect of minimum wage legislation seems clear. The standard demand/supply model predicts imposing a minimum wage above the prevailing wage reduces employment, particularly among low-wage workers the very population it is meant to support.
The problem is that this obvious result is not observed in the real world. Some research conducted 30 years ago did find evidence that minimum wage increases caused reductions in employment. Recent studies use more robust data and rigorous statistical methods. Two very recent meta-analyses (study of studies) examined almost 100 research studies and over 1,200 employment estimates. Included were studies that focused on teenagers and other low-wage workers, and time periods that included recessions. The results? Minimum wage increases have little, if any, effect on employment.
The interesting question, then, is this: Why would increasing the cost of some workers not result in reduced employment? It turns out that when the minimum wage increases, the reaction of firms is much more nuanced than the simple model predicts. The fact is, when the minimum wage increases, firms have several responses available, only one of which is a reduction in employment.
Intuition suggests that one response could be to substitute higher-skilled workers for the relatively more expensive minimum wage workers, particularly replacing teens or other low-skill workers with higher-skilled employees. However, this possible response does not appear to be widespread for teens or any racial or ethnic subgroup.
One reaction to increases in the costs of lower-wage workers appears to be the compression of wages at the higher end of the distribution. Research indicates that employers faced with increases in the minimum wage may delay or limit pay increases for their more experienced workers.
Another possible response is to pass along minimum wage increases to consumers in the form of higher prices. However, a 10 percent increase in the minimum wage increases prices by less than 1 percent, economy-wide. This is largely due to the slight effect of wage increases on firms costs. In fact, this same 10 percent increase in the minimum wage causes a 0.1 percent increase in total wages paid, overall. Minimum wage workers earn little, are a small percentage of the workforce and labor expenditures are only one component of business costs.
Another reason that minimum wage increases do not result in lower employment is the change in turnover. Studies suggest that minimum wage increases result in lower turnover rates, particularly for teens and restaurant workers. Employee turnover represents significant costs for firms; the savings from reducing turnover could offset some of the increase in wage costs.
The focus of hundreds of economic studies, the effect of raising the minimum wage on employment for low-wage workers is, counter-intuitively, small or nonexistent. The reason appears to be that the cost impact for firms is small relative to their overall wage costs, and modest relative to the wage costs of low-wage workers. Policy discussions that focus on minimum wages impact on employment appear to be too narrowly focused, as firms react to changes in a variety of ways, not simply by reducing their workforce.
As tempting as it is to use simple economic relationships to explain the world, sometimes issues require a multifaceted model to develop full understanding.
The reaction of employers to minimum wage increases is one of those issues. ⬛

Ligonier Country Christmas market offers unique shopping
The fourth annual Ligonier Country Christmas Market will be held 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 30. This year's event will be held at the Ligonier Valley YMCA.
The event will feature creations and products from more than 70 local merchants and vendors. Admission is free.
"Even during this event, we hold true to our slogan – 'Make It, Bake It, Grow It,'" said Angela Kay Iezzi, manager of the market.
The market's mission of enhancing the vitality and viability of small farms, independent food processors and local/regional artists and artisans of the Ligonier Valley is embraced at this festive event.
"I like to look at it as a 'thank you' to the vendors for sticking with us through the regular season," Lezzi said. "You have to be a vendor at some point during the regular market season to get an application."
A variety of items — from fresh goodies and homemade wine, to handmade jewelry, decorative items, scarves, soaps and lotions — will be on display.
An hourly drawing for prizes from a variety of participating vendors will be held during the event. Customers are invited to fill out an entry form to become eligible.
Local artisan Alisa Pavick Barnhart, who creates handmade jewelry for her business, Clementine, said she is looking forward to attending the event.
"This is a great opportunity for people to support the economy by buying from local artists and farmers and, at the same time, come home with some quality items," said Barnhart.
Barnhart said she is impressed by the caliber of handmade items that are available from the Country Market vendors.
"It's wearable art," she said. "Crafters today are more artisans than ever before. Our wares are so much more sophisticated than the popsicle stick, pipe cleaner crafts of the past."
A complete list of vendors participating in the Ligonier Country Christmas Market can be found at ligoniercountrymarket.com.

deccaman, the NR yesterday was a rehash of things the market was aware of, not earthshattering etc., good guidance, smart management etc. For sure, however,
This stock is still speculative, I haven't seen Prevue in my London Drugs yet, don't even know what it is selling for.... yet. Before this starts to move higher, we need to see some revenue numbers, margins, costs, institutions buying etc., there is a 93 million float out there for a company that hasn't had significant revenue as yet, cap is over 8 million at the moment, IMO, this is why we haven't moved much. Low volume today, tells me the believers are holding...... and yes, positive statements by any long on these boards is pumping, any long who says that isn't pumping is decieving themselves IMO. I am long, go MOM go.....
and the bashers here are doing what they can to rattle the trees..... to buy more, any basher on a public chat room who says different, is lying IMO, no one shorts a 9 cent stock
Never take investment advice from a chat room

|Diastolic ventricular interaction in patients after atrial switch for transposition of the great arteries: A speckle tracking echocardiographic study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20621369 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|BACKGROUND: We tested the hypothesis that diastolic ventricular interaction occurs after atrial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and that subpulmonary LV diastolic function is influenced by septal geometry.
METHODS: Twenty-nine patients (male 19) after atrial switch operation for TGA aged 20.8±4.1years and 27 healthy controls were studied. Two-dimensional longitudinal systolic strain, systolic (SRs), early diastolic (SRe), and late diastolic (SRa) strain rates of both ventricles were determined using speckle tracking echocardiography. Early diastolic trans-atrioventricular velocity (E) and myocardial early diastolic myocardial velocity (e) at the ventricular free wall-annular junction were measured. Geometry of the morphologic left ventricle was quantified by the diastolic eccentricity index (EI).
RESULTS: In both systemic and subpulmonary ventricles, SRe and SRa were significantly lower and trans-atrioventricular E/e ratios higher in patients than controls (all p<0.001). In patients, RV SRe correlated with left ventricular (LV) SRe (r=0.49, p=0.008), and RV SRa correlated with LV SRa (r=0.46, p=0.01). Significant leftward shifting of the septum in patients was reflected by the greater LV EI (p<0.001). In patients, LV EI correlated with age- and sex-adjusted z score of LV end-diastolic volume. As a group, LV EI correlated negatively with LV SRe (r=-0.62, p<0.001) and LV SRa (r=-0.51, p<0.001), and positively with mitral E/e ratio (r=0.33, p=0.02).
CONCLUSIONS: Systemic RV diastolic dysfunction occurs after atrial switch operation and correlates with subpulmonary LV diastolic dysfunction. The observed diastolic ventricular interaction may potentially be mediated through alteration of septal geometry.

What is it about Pinterest that makes it impossible to complete a homework assignment without pausing to scroll through boards and boards of creative ideas?
Pinterest, the visually appealing web tool, has been generating unique ideas for different interests since December of 2009.
Fans of the site have spent embarrassingly long periods of time on the consuming website, pinning ideas for a project they will probably never pursue.
But what is it about Pinterest that makes it so hard to stop scrolling, even when it's 2 a.m. and you've yet to study for that exam tomorrow?
According to senior marketing major Ashley Lavorini, the act of pinning is never-ending.
"When I'm on Pinterest, I can literally scroll forever. Once I'm done looking at the category of women's fashion, I move right on to health and fitness boards. It never ends," Lavorini said.
Separated into various interests, the website makes it easy for users to select what kind of category they want to scroll through.
But Pinterest doesn't rely solely on fashion boards, make-up tips and DIY nail ideas to appeal to their large audience.
The social media site is also a successful vehicle for a number of businesses, which may be why it is so addicting.
As someone who plans to work in the field of marketing, Lavorini can't help but notice the marketing strategies that are showcased on Pinterest every day.
"A ton of companies use Pinterest to promote a product or expand their company's mission. By representing themselves in a visual way, it makes it hard for us to look away. These companies are marketing products without us even knowing it," Lavorini said.
On a less strategic level, Pinterest is simply a creative, ideal way to pass the time.
Boards for summer fashion, healthy dinner recipes and even engagement ring ideas are some of the most popular among users.
And because Pinterest is so accessible, it is easy to pin at home, in the classroom or even on the go.
According to senior human resources major Vicki Juran, Pinterest even enhanced her social life.
"I had a Pinterest party with all my girlfriends, and it was a huge hit. We each made some kind of appetizer that we found on the site and brought it to the party," Juran said.
"My friends and I go on Pinterest all the time. We might as well put all that pinning to use."

False Prophets and Deception
The existence of false prophets is one of the most important issues discussed in the Bible, especially in the epistles of the New Testament. The epistles were written for two primary reasons: to encourage other Christians to resist sin and live holy lives and to warn them about false teachers. The following verses describe false prophets, while showing God's people how they can recognize them.
Among the Church
Many people think that false prophets can only be found in strange cults and other religions. In these verses, the apostles warned that there would also be false teachers within the Christian church.
Empty Words
The Bible contains many verses describing how false prophets teach people. They use "empty words," "fair speeches," "meaningless talk," and they "speak from the viewpoint of the world." Their preaching is not backed by the truth and power of God's word
it is empty. There is no conviction, no passion for serving God, and no real love. This is why so many people don't like going to church and can't stay awake during the sermons.
Acts 20:29
- "Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them."
2 Pet. 2:1
- "But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves."
Jude 1:4
- "For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord."
Rom. 16:18
- "...by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple." (KJV)
Eph. 5:6-7
- "Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them."
1 Tim. 1:6-7
- Some people have wandered away from love, a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith and have turned to "meaningless talk." "They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm."
Titus 1:10
- Paul calls some false prophets "rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers."
2 Pet. 2:3
- Some teachers exploit people with "stories they have made up."
2 Pet. 2:18
- "For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error."
1 John 4:4-6
- "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood."
There are numerous verses in the Bible that describe how deceptive false teachers can be. This is one reason why Paul tells the Thessalonian church to "test everything" (
1 Thess. 5:21
), and why John says "do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world" (
1 John 4:1
). The following verses describe the extent of this deception, and most of them are warnings written to God's people to prevent them from being deceived.
Acts 20:29-31
- "I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears."
2 Cor. 11:3-4
- "But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough."
2 Cor. 11:13-15
- "For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve."
Mat. 7:15-16
- "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them..."
Mat. 24:24-25
- "For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time."
Luke 11:44
- Jesus told the Pharisees that they were like "unmarked graves, which men walk over without knowing it."
2 Tim. 2:17
- Concerning some false teachers, Paul warns Timothy that "their teaching will spread like gangrene."
2 Tim. 3:13
- "...evil men and imposters will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived."
2 Pet. 2:2
- "
will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute."
Deut. 13:1-4
- "If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a miraculous sign or wonder, and if the sign or wonder of which he has spoken takes place, and he says, "Let us follow other gods" (gods you have not known) "and let us worship them," you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. It is the LORD your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him."
Deut. 13:6-8
- "If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known, gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), do not yield to him or listen to him..."

It happened today – 3 November
3rd November 1991
Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
On 3rd November 1991, Gianni Morbidelli took part in a Formula 1 Grand Prix in a Ferrari for the first and only time. He was already a test driver for the Scuderia, but raced that season for the Maranello-powered Minardi team. Morbidelli was called in to deputise for Alain Prost who had been sacked because of the comments he made following the Japanese Grand Prix two weeks earlier. The race was affected by really heavy rain hitting the Adelaide street circuit right from the start, so that the drivers were more concerned with keep their cars on track than with trying to floor the throttle. From lap 10 onwards, the storm got worse and as a result, the number of off track excursions increased. Crossing the line for the sixteenth time, Senna indicated with his arm that the race should be stopped and so it was. The stewards decided that the race result would be taken from the order on lap 14. This meant that some, such as Mansell for example, who had ended in the barriers, were back among the leaders. It was unlucky for Morbidelli who was third on lap 16. The Italian was classified sixth, which was worth half a point, as only half points were awarded. However, Morbidelli made amends four years later at the very same track, when he finished third at the wheel of an Arrows.

In today's evolving world, some people are often heard saying that marriage is too difficult, or that the sanctity of marriage has been destroyed. Don't tell that to television and movie star Kirk Cameron, who brings the Love Worth Fighting For: Marriage Event to the Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts in Franklin on Sunday, Feb. 9, at 4 p.m.
For the last four years, Cameron, and musical guest Warren Barfield, have been spreading their passion and faith in the power of marriage at churches and complexes throughout the country by sharing their personal experiences and using the tools of music and humor to help eager couples who are either married or preparing to be.
"Marriage is the foundation upon which you build a family, and if families fall apart, then our churches, our communities and ultimately our whole nation crumbles," Cameron says. "We're excited to share this event with the people of Franklin and know that it will bring both hope and healing."
The Love Worth Fighting For tour, sponsored by Feed Your Faith, is in its fifth year and has touched more than 200,000 attendees since its inception. The 2014 tour will be making more than 30 stops across the country including events in Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, California, Ohio, Missouri, Arkansas, Indiana, Florida, and Alabama, among others.
According to conference organizers, tickets are currently still available for the Franklin event, but if past shows are any indication, it could quickly sell out. Tickets range from $20 to $35 each and are available as reserved seats or general admission for singles, couples and groups of 10 or more.
For more information about Feed Your Faith's Love Worth Fighting For tour featuring Cameron and Barfield, or to order tickets, visit http://www.loveworthfightingfor.com/.
Cameron is best known for his memorable role of "Mike Seaver," a cultural icon of the 80s, with his mullet hairstyle, cool glasses, and wisecracking comebacks on "Growing Pains." More recently he has enjoyed success with the number one grossing inspirational film of 2008, "Fireproof," and his recent documentary, "Monumental." His company, CAMfam Studios, has released his latest film, "Unstoppable." His speaking tour, Love Worth Fighting For, is a marriage event held in churches and has been hosted in more than 150 cities. Cameron and his wife, Chelsea, were on-screen sweethearts during "Growing Pains" years and are the founders of Camp Firefly, where terminally and seriously ill children and their families are provided an all-expense paid retreat (http://www.campfirefly.com/). The couple lives in California with their six children.
North Carolina-born singer/songwriter Warren Barfield is on a mission to make the truly important things important again in his life. Things like faith, love, marriage, children, truth and with his songs, he challenges us all to do the same. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live." Warren has found those things in his faith, his wife, and his belief in love. "These are the things I would die for; things I will wake up every morning and spend my day fighting for."
Tickets to Love Worth Fight For are $22.50 per person. To purchase tickets to any performance at the Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts, to get more information, or to see a schedule of coming events, go to http://www.greatmountainmusic.com/ or call 866.273.4615.

Reading in the Redwoods

200 Day versus 10 Month Moving Averages
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On February 20, 2013 @ 7:25 am In Markets,Technical Analysis,Trading | Comments Disabled
Yesterday evenings reads [1] led with a link to Mark Hulbert's How to know when it's time to leave the party [2]. Hulbert created a backtest that compared being "fully invested in the Dow whenever it was above its 200-day moving average, and otherwise completely out of the market."
That above or below signal in theory keeps you out of trouble. I prefer to use a broader index than the Dow — which is too small, too large cap — such as the S&P500 or the Wilshire Total market.
The problem with using the 200 day is it generates a new data point daily. This potentially creates a new buy or sell signal every single day the market is open. That is potentially rather "whippy" — subject to many false signals of breakouts and breakdowns,
One simple solution is to use the 10 month moving average instead. (10 months is roughly 210 trading days). Since it only generates a new data point once a month, it removes a lot of the head fakes and false signals.
I mentioned this to Mebane Faber [3], whose done a lot of number crunching on this issue. In an email, Meb notes the following:
1. It doesn't matter what precise indicator you use (i.e., 50 day SMA, 10 month SMA, 200 day EMA etc), they generally perform similarly over time and across markets. Of course, in the short term there will be very large variation (example Oct 1987), but on average they are similar.
2. You have to include dividends and interest paid on cash. Most trend models don't trade that much vs. a normal rebalance, and transaction costs are low now (although substantial the longer you go back).
3. The point about daily vs. monthly signals is valid, in that daily will get whip sawed around more and also incur more transaction costs.
4. The main takeaway, and missed often, is that trend indicators in general are not return enhancing (although they often are in the more volatile asset classes like Nasdaq or REITs). They are mainly risk reducing for volatility and drawdown. This results in higher Sharpe ratios and a less volatile portfolio.
5. If you want return enhancing, a relative strength or momentum approach works great. But the magic occurs once you start combining lots of assets with lowered vol and drawdowns….results in a great portfolio.
Here is Meb's data for the DJIA back to 1922. It's a simple 10 month SMA on the total return index, and places the cash in either Tbills or 10 Year Bonds.
Note that it doesn't do much for returns [5] — I argue it is because the entries and exits [6] are symmetrical (my thesis is they shouldn't be [7]). Rather, using the 10 month manages works to drastically reduce volatility (by about 33%) and cuts down drawdowns (by about 50%).

Redesigning police cruisers: In Rhode Island, it's an art
Industrial design students streamline vehicles to increase officer safety
The car, billed as the first of its kind, is designed to clear clutter near the dashboard and cut down on distractions by allowing officers to perform a variety of commands without lifting a hand from the steering wheel.
"We tried to right a real wrong. We tried to look at making people's life better," said Songwe, who developed the idea several years ago while pursuing a master's degree in industrial design at the Rhode Island School of Design.
The new model is being tested in a squad car in Providence, with a goal of eventually installing it in all the department's vehicles, said Police Chief Dean Esserman.
"It does my heart proud when someone comes here and says they want to help the officers of this department," Esserman said at a news conference Thursday outside the Providence Police Department, where the car was displayed.
The central feature is a sleek dashboard where officers can access assorted commands that in conventional squad cars might take more effort.
Buttons to adjust the lights, strobes and sirens are attached to the steering wheel.
Communicating with dispatch no longer requires an officer to use a hand-held microphone. Dual speakers mounted in the dashboard are designed to improve sound quality. An adjustable keyboard and computer screen are intended to be less cumbersome. The car also includes a license plate recognition camera.
Removing equipment from the center of the car could make it easier for an officer to escape if an accident occurs.
Songwe came up with the idea several years ago when, as a RISD graduate student, he was walking in downtown Providence and stopped to peek inside a police cruiser. What he saw distressed him.
"It somehow just triggered a whole lot of design emotions, design feelings," Songwe said in an interview.
He discussed it with RISD President Roger Mandle, who helped arrange a meeting with Esserman.
"How could a police chief not be happy?" Esserman asked.
Dawn Barrett, dean of RISD's architecture and design division, said the school's students often collaborate with government entities and private companies as part of their curriculum.
"Designers, after all, are always designing for real conditions — and there couldn't be any more real condition than a police vehicle," Barrett said.
Songwe has started a design company, Joneso Design, in Central Falls. He said his goal is for police departments around the country adopt his new model.
"It just makes sense," he said.

The father is illiterate. He is is uneducated. He probably saw all the hype around this ,and went with it, and someone cued him in that Madge is one of the richest women in the world, and he wants a peice. It is not that crazy. What is crazy is that she would pick a child with strings attached. She really should of beenb a little smarter and chose a child with no strings. I wonder what it was about this boy that she chose him over all of the kids.

I just agree that maybe she should have chosen to adopt a child with no parents. I'm not sure the father is selfish. I think he's uneducated and if the government was willing to break it's own adoption rules, I don't think they would be above lying to this man about the adoption.

I would like to pop out a child, give him to someone else to shoulder the expense and burden of feeding, raising, and caring for my child, and then get him/her back at 18, all ready to be an adult and do me proud living with me in my hut. This father is now become selfish selfish selfish, and this most likely coincides with the realization that Madonna earns more than the entire country's GDP. Besides, when the child is grown, he will be able to decide to go back to Malawi (or not to). She should give the baby back and pick out another one with less baggage.
jennifer76 9 years
If and when the child is finished with his education, he can return to Malawi if he so desires, no? Adopting him doesn't equal owning him. He'll be an adult one day and he can go where he pleases. Ginger - I've never heard of social services taking custody of children whose parents can't afford child care. This whole situation is a mess. I don't know who or what to believe and I don't know who actually has this child's best interests as their priority.
hotstuff 9 years
This is just a huge mess. Hopefully she can clear things up on Oprah!
Ginger 9 years
I don't view it as extortion. She doesn't have to give the family any money, I'm just pointing out that for far less than she has already spent on this child, he could have been raised to adulthood by his own family in his own culture. But it looks like she was more interested in her vanity than what might be best for the child. Ripping him reminds me of when the relatives of Elian Gonzalez tried to keep him in Florida, rather than be raised by his own father in his own country. It's similar to when social services takes away a child from a single parent who can't afford child care but has to work to support the child. Social services spends a chunk of tax payers money to have a foster parent raise the child, and if only there was a way to give the parent that money for child care, they could afford to work and raise their own kid, which is what most parents would want.
tlwilliamson29 9 years
when is she gonna have time to take care of another kid?
Imabeliever 9 years
But the father was also giving interviews to journalist who spoke his language and telling them that he understood this adoption and was excited that his son was going to have a better life.. now she will probably have to give the child back and he will live the rest of his childhood at this orphanage.. sad. And I don't think she should pay the father to raise the child or give any more money to the orphange then what was already planned or it seems like it could be a form of extortion. And soon this start happening to all wealthy couples who try to adopt.
t0xxic 9 years
crazy. it will be hard to watch his son grow up in the tabloids to Im sure
Ginger 9 years
Also consider that Malawi laws forbid international adoption by non-residents, so there is no context for the father to have understood that he was giving away his son forever, to new parents. The reason he wasn't living with the father was financial. If Madonna had just donated the cost of her legal fees and the kids private plane ride to the family, they probably could have afforded to raise him and she could have picked a real orphan, with no living parents.
Ginger 9 years
The father doesn't speak English, so he probably doesn't know the word adoption from hamburger. Perhaps the father had hopes (like many parents) that with a good Western education his son could return to Malawi and make a difference, maybe in politics, engineering, or some other way. That's pretty common for people with means in African countries to want to return to help their country after getting a good education elsewhere. I was just reading an article that said: In the Reuters interview, Banda said what he was told by the officials was that the papers he signed said Madonna would look after David, educate him and bring him back. "What he has told you now is not true," Kilembe said, but refusing to provide the adoption papers that the father signed.

so the idea is that the dad was using the orphange as a sort of child pawn shop? bullshit. i smell extortion.

And I am shocked that she is not wearing a sweat suit.. not loving the jacket,,, but the shoes are cute.
Imabeliever 9 years
the word adoption was used when he spoke to the press in interviews as well..am I completely jaded in thinking the father might have thought his son could be raised by Madonna and then share his "wealth" with him when he was older? Who in their right mind would let their son enjoy a rich, privlegded lifestyle temporarily and then make him come back to a mud shack without electricity and no hope for a future.. thats more cruel then growing up in an orphange.

The Bolshoi

|Years active
|Beggars Banquet
|Trevor Tanner
Jan Kalicki
Paul Clark
Nick Chown
The Bolshoi were a London-based music group prominent mostly in the mid to late 1980s. They are best known for the hits "Sunday Morning" and "A way" or "Away" (the name is interchangeable and has been noted as both on different albums/singles).
The band formed in 1984 in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. The original lineup consisted of singer/guitarist Trevor Tanner, drummer Jan Kalicki, and bassist Nick Chown; Tanner and Kalicki had previously played together in the short-lived punk band Moskow, where Trevor performed as Trevor Flynn (his mother's maiden name). Early gigs supported the likes of The Cult, The March Violets and The Lords of the New Church. In 1985, the band released their debut single, "Sob Story", followed by the mini-album, Giants and their hit song "Happy Boy". Word of mouth was such that the Bolshoi were able to sell out many of their early headlining performances.
The band moved to London in 1985, and their lineup expanded to include Paul Clark on keyboards. In 1986, they released their first full-length album, Friends, and expanded their touring schedule to the U.S., South America and Poland. It was followed in 1987 by the album Lindy's Party, on which the sound was more pop-oriented. TC Wall, reviewing the album in Underground magazine, described Lindy's Party as "completely confident, commercial, professional, and dangerously catchy" and "a fine album that'll be caressed for generations".[1]
Stylistically, The Bolshoi was difficult to categorize. It has been described as a proto-goth band, similar in their live act to fellow Beggars Banquet signees, Bauhaus. Tanner was recognized for his dark, pensive lyrics that belied a social responsibility and awareness.
After the release of Lindy's Party, the band recorded a fourth album, but problems with their record label management impeded its release, and they disbanded as the 1980s drew to a close. The unreleased fourth album, apparently titled Country Life, is reportedly still in the vaults at Beggars Banquet.
Trevor Tanner started a new group, Kite, who sounded similar to the Bolshoi, with Jason Stainthorpe from Then Jericho on bass and Ian Whitehead on drums, and recorded an album with Adrian Borland from The Sound. This album still remains unreleased to this day.
Since the band disbanded, Trevor Tanner moved across the Atlantic to the U.S. and has continued to record both as a solo artist and as a founding member of 'cult' Celtic rock band, Rathkeltair.
Paul Clark lives in Seattle. His most recent recording, Starship Oak was released in June, 2014 as Basehart Snitch and he is currently working on a new album Songs From Space mixed by Mick Glossop.
Jan Kalicki lives in Los Angeles and Nick Chown in London.

Hi All
Just wanted to get some advice on a problem with my 2001 Nissan Almera. I have had the car for 2 years now. I am the second owner and it has been fully maintained by myself and the previous owner. When I bought it with 73000mls the timing chain was replaced straight away. It needed to be done. The car now has 96000mls and I have never had any problems with it. However about a month ago I noticed that the rev needle started jumping when it reached about 3000 revs. There was no difference in the performance of the car. At the time I thought that perhaps is was the rev counter that may was faulty. A few weeks later the car began to give what felt like a misfire. More noticible when it was cold. I believed that the plugs were most likely failing. Got the car serviced new plugs included. No change it felt the same' if not a little worse. At the moment that problem is still there and has been for the last 2 months. It is missing on acceleration like it's jumping. I finally got a engine management light which gave me a code . It was a random cyclinder misfire detected. Reset the code and believed that a coil may of needed to be replaced. Checked the coils with one that a friend got for me in a scrap yard. All the coils have been checked and the problem with the rev counter and the misfire are still present.One day during the cold snap the engine management light came on again .The light was not there the following day. Really dont know what this problem is. I really hoping that its not a timing chain problem again. I dont believe it is as Im sure I would have had a cam sensor fault code at this stage. The oil has been changed about three times in two years. Recommended for the Almera and it history with the chain. Could it be stretched again after 20000mls? The fault code I got could be anything really. Its just jumpy rev counters and almera's means dodgy chain. Advice would be great.

Organizers at the Hampton History Museum are hoping to make lessons in local history and meteorology cool, thanks to a little help from the Disney movie "Frozen."
At "Hampton Frozen Over," which runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, the museum will host "Frozen"-themed entertainment, science experiments, art activities and more.
"We're using it as a catalyst to talk about cold temperatures and winter weather in Hampton," said Duffee Maddox, the museum's educator.
Attendees are invited to wear character costumes or shirts portraying the movie "Frozen" which debuted in theaters two years...

Kashmiri Lamb Lollipops
lamb rib chops
, frenched completely trimmed
3/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
3/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk (one 13.5 ounce can)
1/4 cup water or white wine
2 cinnamon sticks, broken into a few pieces
Seeds from 10 whole green cardamom pods
10 whole cloves
1 inch piece of ginger, grated
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2/3 cup arrowroot flour (traditionally chick pea flour)
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup thick plain yogurt (we like goat)
Palm shortening, or
for deep frying
Lime wedges
In a small frying pan, dry roast the cumin and coriander seeds till aromatic. Crush the seeds with the peppercorns in a spice grinder or mortar & pestle.
Transfer the spice mixture to a large sauce pan and add the coconut milk, wine/water, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger and onion.
Bring to a boil over a medium heat. Gently drop the lamb chops into the liquid and bring it back to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the liquid is very thick and reduced. Remove the lamb chops and pat dry. Discard the left over liquid.
Whisk together the arrowroot and chili powder into the water and yogurt to make a thick batter.
Fill a heavy based saucepan one-third full of palm shortening/tallow. Heat till it reaches about 350 degrees on a candy/deep fry thermometer.
Dip the lamb cutlets in the yogurt batter, shaking off the excess and fry in small batches until crisp and golden. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Allow the oil to heat back up to 350 degrees before starting the next batch.
Serve with lime wedges

"We support the legitimate authority but legitimacy should not deprive us of our legitimate rights..."
Thursday, September 2, 2010
Mainstream media has to lie, Mr PM!
Your immediate answers (I guess) would be - "of course I do (in publishing what I said and in putting the national and the government interest above all... that they have Barisan Nasional at their upkeep... and that their editorial policy should support the legitimate government..."
As for question no.2 - "they report the truth, we believe in them. Afterall, if they tell lies, their printing permit will be at stake..."
My apology, sir but when mainstream media is put to question, many would say that they belong to BN and its components like Umno, MCA, MIC and others. To some extent, they would ask 'who isn't Umno?'
At the NSTP on Thursday, you advised the mainstream media (namely NSTP, Media Prima, Utusan group, RTM, Bernama, Nanyang Siang Pau and a few more) to base their reporting on actual fact and figure (here). Which is wise and smart.
You were also admitting the fact that they (the mainstream media) was facing a stiff challenge from the new media such as blogs and websites (some of which are more factual and precise in reporting the truth).
Now, the problem with mainstream media is they cannot and are not allowed to tell the whole truth about anything. Why? To protect the government, the leaders, the banks, the GLCs and others. There are some blankets being applied. We could understand that as it is one of the ways to lure foreign investors to Malaysia and not to frighten and chase them away.
The mainstream media will always be very protective of the government and its leaders, regardless of whether certain policies do work or if some Cabinet members are involved in graft of other irregularities.
They become so protective that they are willing to lie to the rakyat and the readers. Politicians from the ruling party are also allowed to ride on this mainstream media for their political and personal interest, on reasons that should their wrongdoings are exposed, it would humiliate the government and will cost them dearly at the next elections.
The bosses of this mainstream media are all pro-government and the best 'Yes men' around. For instance, if Rosmah gets more or as much publicity as Najib, that is because those 'Yes men' feel oblige to report anything she does, from A to Z. Compared with other First Ladies in the whole world, none gets so much publicity and in some cases, we hardly read them in newspapers or watch them on television.
Yes, mainstream media is the greatest liar and the best 'Yes man'. So, when blogs and websites published what they refused to publish, it puts them in a limbo. When more people go for blogs and news portal, their readership and circlulation are very much affected.
But it leaves them to no choice but to go on lying and hoarding facts for the sake of their 'masters'.
That is why mainstream media should be free of political control. The government already have Bernama, RTM and its radio station. Tying Utusan to Umno, NSTP to Umno or Nanyang Siang Pau to MCA, for instance will only make them the government tools and propaganda machineries.
We are not living in the 60s, 70s and 80s where newspapers and TV stations were very important in disseminating news and information. The Information Department (Jabatan Penerangan) used to be very important in carrying out such tasks but I think it is high time for it (Jabatan Penerangan) to be dissolved for its redundancy.
My conclusion is, the mainstream media cannot help but to go on spreading lies, exaggerations and bias reports. The business is good but its political attachment will continue to change the rakyat's perception on them, that they are just a propaganda machine!

jai bro,
they have to lie for business survival. those at the helms are not only yes men but also good ballsuckers.
they carry whoever balls that can benefit them - pm, dpm, politicians, businessmen and others.
- September 3, 2010 at 1:08 AM
Your are spot-on about the present state of main stream media. By saying yes all the time to the ruling party but silent on the important facts of the news are actually hurt than helping the government. Far worst they insult the intelligent of many people who are internet savvy which not necessary accept whatever publish in the newspaper or government controlled media.

Bro, in almost all cases involving MSM editors kow-towing to their political masters, it's about strength of character and the will to upholds the profession's ethics and principles.
Kalau seorang editor itu lemah syahwat, he's impotent and is therefore in no position to say NO. There are many editors like that,now and in the past.
Let's not forget that the history of local journalism is also filled with brave editors who had to be hacked down, imprisoned and cold-storaged because they wanted to get the job done.
It's no different with judges, lawyers, top cops, A-Gs and other professionals -- the quality of a profession is always down to an individual's commitment to his or her profession.
Thank you.
- September 3, 2010 at 1:09 AM
the political strings attached make them liars. they cant help it as it is part and parcel of the agreement with their political masters.
they wont publish any bad things about the government and the leaders. they will try at their very best to protect their interest.
also part of their duties is to slam the opposition.
thats very normal
- September 3, 2010 at 1:10 AM
oiii bro.
dulu kau kerja dengan nstp, tu pun mainstream media gak. bila kau dah blah, kau belasah diorang pulak.
tapi kan.... aku setuju sangat dgn apa yang kau tulis ni.
aku pun kadang2 kena tulis temberang gak!
- September 3, 2010 at 1:12 AM
he he he...
i think najib was too much on the buka puasa food!
- September 3, 2010 at 1:13 AM
newspapers and tv stations (not govt-owned) must be free of political strings and become business entities instead.
when they are attached to the govt, of course they will have to protect the govt and its leaders from opposition assaults.
in many countries, editors and bosses of newspapers and tv stations are close to the leaders but their business is free from any govt interference, unless they go against the law.
in malaysia, the govt should monitor the mainstream media and not control them. just ensure they follow all regulations and never abuse their printing permit.
otherwise, sooner or later the media operators will be seen as dogs!
- September 3, 2010 at 1:30 AM
sebab tu lah kita ada akhbar pembangkang dan akhbar nyamuk yang lain yang turut dituduh berbohong oleh penyokong serta media prokerajaan, walhal mereka ni lah yang cuba menyiarkan berita benar dan tulen
- September 3, 2010 at 1:32 AM
pls understand that the mainstream media is a govt mercenary. so, when they lie, they also lie for the govt!
- September 3, 2010 at 1:33 AM
dont deny that most blogs also lie a lot and got to moral like malaysia today, malaysiakini, parpukari, husin lempoyang, pure shiite, lampongkaram and others. you wont find substance of their write in the mainstream media but at least the mainstream media maintains its moral of not to take issues to personal!
- September 3, 2010 at 1:36 AM
what is wrong if they lie.
some bloggers lie too!
- September 3, 2010 at 1:37 AM
jai, kau dulu dengan nstp gak, sebuah pertubuhan media arus perdana.
masa kau wartawan diorang dulu, kau pun terpaksa bohong jugak ke dalam tuisan kau?

sebab depa banyak tipu la punca bn kalah banyak kerusi pada pru12 yang lalu.
padan muka depa! sokong bawa rebah!
- September 3, 2010 at 1:50 AM
that's why najib asked them to report facts - because he knew they have been telling so much lies before!
- September 3, 2010 at 2:02 AM
newspapers should be free from politics. as long as they feel they have to cover someone's butt, they tend to lie.
the prob with mainstream media nowadays is, they follow instruction from the top blindly
- September 3, 2010 at 9:50 AM
media aliran perdana mempunyai fungsi besar dalam membantu kerajaan menyebarkan maklumat kepada rakyat secara telus dan bukannya berbohong.
apa jua pembohongan media pada zaman teknologi maju sekarang akan mudah dikenal pasti dan dipantau oleh rakyat.
kerana itulah makin ramai pembaca memilih blog dan portal tertentu untuk mencari kebenaran, menyebabkan akhbar atau media arus perdana hilang kredibiliti.
- September 3, 2010 at 9:54 AM
the media only takes care of najib and rosmah.
that is good enough what!
- September 3, 2010 at 9:55 AM
hiding the facts mean to cover wrongdoings and the truth. in this manner, we collaborate with those crook.
no wonder some media players employ crooks to work with them
- September 3, 2010 at 9:59 AM

Island fire damages historic property
Around Lake of Bays
By Judy Vanclieaf
The Lake of Bays fire and water rescue boat was put to good use on Sunday of the long weekend when someone paid no attention to the fire rating and bylaws regarding having a fire in Muskoka. Lake of Bays fire crews from Port Cunnington and Baysville fire stations were called to a bush fire on Langmaids Island where, upon arrival, one of the old cottages on the north side of the island along with the bush around it, were ablaze. It really is a shame as Langmaids, a privately owned island, has not only been identified as one of Muskoka's heritage areas, but the owners so far have been nice enough to let everyone use the beautiful beaches to spend our hot, sunny days on. We must treat the island with respect or we will lose our privileges. This is the second fire on the island in the last few years, so it is hard to say if the owners will allow us to continue using it after this. On a less serious note, the Baysville Horticultural Society's spring flower show was a great success with 103 entries. The organizers would like to extend a huge Sales Representative Cell: (705) 646-4024 firstname.lastname@example.com 231 David Street, Gravenhurst Century home boasts 3 bedrooms & 2 baths.

Now $189,900. thank you to everyone who participated and came out to the show. Special thanks were paid to Rhoda Moeller, the flower show co-ordinator, for all her dedicated work. Thank you to John Oliver Peel who presented a very interesting demonstration on the art of bonsai. The next society meeting's topic will be 'flower show 101,' where guest speaker Betty Morrison will teach how to prepare flowers for a flower show. Everyone is invited to join in on Thursday, June 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Baysville Seniors Club. Are you ready for a good laugh? Her Wake, a professional comedy play based on an Irish wake, from the makers of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest is coming to Baysville. Get your tickets early as seating is limited. Her Wake is sponsored by the Baysville Friends of the Library. You can pick your ticket up for $15 at the library or by calling 705-767-2361. The Muskoka seniors luncheons are coming to an end until the fall. The last two of the season for Baysville will be held on Thursday, June 14, with a Father's Day theme (the colours to keep in mind are blue and green, with colourful fish), and then again on Thursday, June 28, with the Canada Day theme (with colours red and white). As a reminder, the luncheons are available to anyone over the age of 60 for a fee of $8 per person, but you must sign up first.
