Russia slams western criticism over Syria vote
Russia has condemned as "unacceptable" western criticism of its decision to veto the Western-backed draft resolution against the Syrian government. "It is absolutely unacceptable that some Western countries are trying to lay the blame for the escalating Syrian violence on Russia's refusal to support a resolution threatening sanctions against the authorities," foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said on Friday. On Thursday, Russia and China vetoed the resolution that called for new sanctions against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. SAB/AZ

Dubai is all set to launch yet another tourist attraction in a bid to outdo other countries vying for the tourism pie.
July 8, 2012 5:20 by Priyanka Pradhan
There's news of yet another tourist landmark to be constructed in Dubai, just in case the world managed to miss the tallest building, the largest mall or the only seven star hotel on the planet. Dubai has earned the dubious distinction of being the world's flashiest, most superficial city with more fake potted palm trees than real monuments of culture and history.
Now Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has launched a new AED120m (US$32.66m) tourism project, to be dubbed "Dubai Landmark". Construction of this new building called Al Berwaz Tower will begin within four months and is slated to be completed by the end of 2013. Authorities say this project is expected to attract around two million visitors and tourists.
Kipp thinks this move is more of a reaction to Saudi Arabia's ambitious plans to dwarf the Burj Khalifa with its 'Kingdom Towers' than anything else. This one-upmanship and competition is cute when its between five year olds, not between nations with the ability to feed the population of a poor country with the kind of money being spent on brick-and-tar toys.
Data published by Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) attempts to justify this venture by showing that the number of tourists visiting Dubai rose by 10 percent to total 9.3 million in 2011. The data also indicates that revenues grew by 20 percent to touch AED16bn ($4.36bn) as the emirate managed to withstand any impact from regional unrest.
Bravo. Now residents of Dubai can heave a sigh of relief. Afterall, that's what the city really needs- Another building in the concrete jungle filled with fake lakes, ice capped mountains and more artificial lawns. Truly a blessing in disguise.
1 Comment
one should also consider the economic benefits that come with mega projects like this, the labor and of course the significant number of employment these landmarks will require once completed. Its definitely not a waste of money on brick and tar. Full marks to Dubai for their position in the world. No reason for European pessimism.

Censorship of a pro-marijuana legalization group's ads could be attracting attention to its cause.
Censorship of a pro-marijuana legalization group's ads could be helping attract attention to its cause. Reddit's marijuana related content category displays links to "Yes on 19" t-shirts in favor of pot legalization in California. But the site's publisher, Conde Nast blocked ads from Just Say Now, another pro-Proposition 19 campaign. Facebook also censored the organization's ads.
"After our ads with the Just Say Now logo of [a] marijuana leaf ran more than 38 million times, Facebook flip-flopped and banned all images of marijuana from its ads," stated Just Say Now on a petition page on the Firedoglake site. Just Say Now is a project of Firedoglake and Students for Sensible Drug Policy aimed at passing marijuana legalization measures in California, Arizona, Oregon, and South Dakota.
The organization, launched earlier this month, turned the Facebook ad situation into a "Facebook Censors Marijuana" rallying cry, using a slashed-out pot leaf as its logo on the Just Say Now Facebook page, which has around 10,000 likes. Facebook's guidelines fully prohibit ads for some legal products including tobacco, weapons, and adult toys and videos.
More recently, representatives of the Just Say Now campaign complained that social news site Reddit would not accept its ads. "After seeing the significant attention marijuana issues, and Proposition 19, received on the site, it seemed a natural place to try to advertise for supporters," wrote Firedoglake's Michael Whitney in an August 27 post.
According to Reddit, it is its parent company, Conde Nast, that has a problem with the ads. "As a corporation, Conde Nast does not want to benefit financially from this particular issue," the company said, according to a post from Reddit execs on its site.
So, Reddit took matters into its own hands, and is now running the Just Say Now ads free of charge. "Since we're not allowed to benefit financially, reddit is now running the ads for free," the company wrote. The August 27 post also noted, "reddit itself strongly disagrees with [the Conde Nast decision], and frankly thinks it's ridiculous that we're turning away advertising money.
In addition to those free display ads, Just Say Now said it "will run text advertisements on Reddit in support of marijuana legalization regardless of Conde Nast's censorship. We'll also work with the Reddit community to support Prop 19 in 2010, and to pass marijuana legalization across the country in 2012 and beyond." California's Proposition 19 is on the November ballot and would legalize possession and cultivation of marijuana if passed.
It's not the first time a controversial ad campaign has been blocked or censored by media outlets. Indeed, campaigns sometimes can garner additional recognition as a result of a ban through media coverage of the situation.
Firedoglake is running Google AdWords ads linking to a Just Say Now petition asking President Obama to "end the war on marijuana." Proposition 19-related Google searches turn up ads promoting the petition and linking to Firedoglake. "Want to help legalize marijuana? Find out how to help," states one ad.

December 1, 2015
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- An Egyptian security official says the death toll from a weekend rock slide that buried a shantytown on Cairo's outskirts has reached 75.
The official says rescue workers recovered more bodies overnight from underneath mammoth rocks that sheared off a cliff above the Manshiyet Nasr slum. The official spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
The state-owned Middle East News Agency reports that about 112 families have been moved from the shantytown to new homes after Saturday's rock slide.
The densely populated slum was built by rural migrants seeking work in Cairo. It is located beneath unstable limestone cliffs. There are fears many more bodies could be found in the rubble.

MISSION VIEJO – While the thoroughbreds were competing for the Kentucky Derby in Louisville, Mission Viejo/Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge No. 2444 thoroughbred members held their own Derby Day to raise money for its State Major Project, the Purple Pig.
All California/Hawaii Elks lodges give their members purple piggy banks to collect coins for their State Major Project. Other events, such as the Derby Day event, also raise money for the Purple Pig. Derby Day raised more than $1,500 to help children with disabilities.
The funds are used to provide therapy to children with major physical problems: occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech-language therapy. CHEA employs its own medical personnel to deliver this therapy. It also provides vision screening for children throughout California and Hawaii.
After viewing the real Kentucky Derby, the Elks Lodge Derby Day races began with the singing of "My Old Kentucky Home." Women guests wore hats like they would at the actual Kentucky Derby. Six jockeys were selected and mounted their broom stick horses for the Elks derby.

Special moves that women do, and just your own preferences, thank you!
This is actually my favorite! I like it when, after she is on top of me, she leans forward to put her hands on each side of my head, so that her hips can easily bounce up and down on me, quickly and easily. It's the best!
Just move your hips back and forth or around in a circle! And pull your self up off of him just enough not so it comes all the way out but just enough and make it go in and out!

This was once a hot topic on midforum and has me hot under the collar today.
We, and most of our neighbours, often leave out some bags to go with the bin and it is never a problem. Today, our gardener was outside when the garbage truck came by and the garbage collectors told him to call me. They me that they will only take the loose black bags next to our bin if I give them a cool drink.
I have given these guys cool drinks before and get that it is a hot day etc. but today, the 'bribery mentality' just got to me and I refused. Instead, I told them that I would report them.
If they had simply asked for something to drink, I would've GLADLY given them something.

Pop art by Peter Max and Andy Warhol sets a mod 1960s tone at this casual boutique hotel. The mood continues in the red-and-black guest rooms, whose amenities include iPod docks, complimentary Wi-Fi, and bathrobes. The hotel ballroom, with its twinkly starlight ceiling, is worth a peek. Breakfast burritos and omelets with avocado and bacon make the on-site First Avenue Bar & Grill a popular breakfast stop; the restaurant also serves lunch, dinner, and happy hour cocktails.

Muirhead skipped Britain at Vancouver 2010 but is the only one to remain from that squad with her 2013 World Championship gold-medal winning rink confirmed for Sochi.
That means Claire Hamilton, Anna Sloan and Vicki Adams will join her on the plane to Russia next year looking to add Olympic gold to their growing major championship medal haul.
Britain have won two curling medals at the Olympics, both gold from Chamonix 1924 and most recently Rhona Howie, formerly Martin, from the Salt Lake 2002 Games.
And Muirhead, seventh at Vancouver 2010, is determined to show the improvements she has made over the past four years when she takes to the ice in Sochi.
"I am thrilled to be part of Team GB in Sochi. This will be my second Olympics and I'm excited. Having won the worlds this year we want to continue our winning streak," she said.
"It's not often we get to compete as Team GB and, as proud as we are to compete for Scotland, it's great to be part of a British team too."
And Team GB Chef de Mission for Sochi Mike Hay, coach of Howie's rink back in 2002, is expecting Muirhead, Hamilton, Sloan and Adams to be in the medal mix in Russia.
"I am delighted to welcome the curlers as the first members of Team GB. They are reigning world champions and earned the right for Team GB to be represented at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games with their performances at the past two World Championships," he said.
"The 2013 season was their best ever, adding the Players' Championships to their world crown so they know how to win and what it takes to be successful at major events.
"With Eve skipping the rink they also have Olympic experience to draw on from Vancouver 2010 so they are well equipped to challenge for medals in Sochi."

Hill Cut Si...Sierra LeoneFoodFunding via Association for Rural Development (ARD)
When Mary left high school, she did not have someone to sponsor her because her parents were poor. She went into sales and when she had enough capital, she opened a small stall. In order to fulfill her dream of becoming a nurse, she enrolled in training as a pharmacist and she now owns a pharmacy, selling drugs to patients. Working 7 days a week and 16 hours a day, Mary earns about SLL 2,256,000 monthly from her business.
Mary has already received and successfully repaid 1 loan. She would now like a new loan of SLL 4,000,000 in order to buy Pinoplex blood syrup (4 cartons @ SLL 140,000 each), pain relief (5 cartons @ SLL 50,000 each), Lucmal (anti malarial) drug (10 cartons @ SLL 120,000 each), Zincofer blood syrup (5 cartons @ SLL 140,000 each), Lucozade (10 cartons @ SLL 100,000 each) and Amodiquin hydrochlode tabs (1 carton @ SLL 250,000), with the balance used as transport fare. Mary hopes that this loan will enable her to increase her monthly profits by approximately SLL 564,000.
Mary doesn't face much competition since she is the only one owning a pharmacy in the area. She serves about 60 people per day, and her business is popular because she treats her customers with care and respect. Mary is assisted by her closest family members. She usually orders twice a month through delivery van from Freetown. In the future, Mary plans to save enough money for her retirement. She feels good and nervous about the future prospects of her business because she needs someone with good experience and capabilities to run her business when she retires. She wants her child and her dependents to finish school. The loan will help as she will be able to save money. Mary is hardworking and honest. She thanks you for your support.

Farrah Abraham of "Teen Mom" has a bone to pick with pregnant Kourtney Kardashian.
Abraham, 20, took to Twitter to express her disapproval over E! reality star Kardashian's second pregnancy, which she announced exclusively to Us Weekly on Wednesday.
PHOTOS: Look back on Kourt's first pregnancy
"I'm shocked Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant again. Did she not learn anything from 'Teen Mom'?" Abraham, single mom to 2-year-old Sophia, oddly seethed in a Friday post on the microblogging site. "Maybe it's a fake pregnancy like Kim's wedding. SAD."
Though Kardashian, 32, and her boyfriend of five years, Scott Disick, 28, are in a stable relationship and are already parents to son Mason, 2, Abraham is indiscriminate with her criticism. "Double standards in this world? Yes, and guess what? Age and money honestly do not change a person's poor choice. Quit making excuses," she ranted.
PHOTOS: Adorable snapshots of Mason Dash Disick
It didn't take long for members of the Kardashian clan to fire back.
"Why would I have anything to do with 'Teen Mom'?" Kourtney tweeted. "I'm 32 years old! I may look young, honey, but don't get it twisted."
Disick also responded by tweeting, "We're not teenagers, ya f------ moron."
Khloe, 27, then asked Disick on the microblogging site how he knew who Abraham was. His blunt reply? "I just thought she was some s--- stain on Twitter, no?"
PHOTOS: More adorable pics of Mason
Friday's online outburst is not the first time Abraham has taken aim at the Kardashians.
In January, she fumed after Kourtney's sister Kim, 31, dissed the "Teen Mom" franchise, and argued that the show's subjects are "not people you should idolize."

"Sex tape, drinking stupidly, Playboy, all the guys?" she tweeted in response to Kim's jab. "Really, you remind me of a mess. I am a role model, so if people are in need, I can help."

Where's the Beef?
In Vienna, and boiled the old-fashioned way.
Jun 11, 2012, Vol. 17, No. 37 • By VICTORINO MATUS
Plachutta, by the way, was fed up that another restaurant down the street had, for years, claimed to be the home of the Wiener Schnitzel when all it served was "this very flat pork Schnitzel." As he not so subtly put it: "This is like if you sell a Mercedes and in reality it's an Opel. And I found it's a shame that millions of tourists go away with the impression of having original Wiener Schnitzel, and it was not." The other restaurant—Plachutta refused to utter its name—is Figlmüllers, and when the Gasthaus opened nine months ago, the rival owner allegedly told his staff, "This is war."
Such is how, in my search for Tafelspitz, I stumbled upon the Great Schnitzel War of 2012.
Thankfully, Tafelspitz is on the menu at the Gasthaus; Plachutta recommended I try it along with a slice of Schnitzel. How could I say no? "The monarchy was not very rich," he reminded me, which is why "you tried to use as much of the meat as possible. Boiling was a good way to use the parts." And despite the caveat that eating Tafelspitz here is not quite the same as at Plachutta, the dish is nonetheless perfect: plenty of juice and not overly salted. The dish is also a hit with tourists from Asia, so much so that Plachutta is planning an outpost somewhere in the Far East. "This food that we do here, the soup and the boiled beef," he told me, "it's very popular in China, very popular in Korea." But why not America? Plachutta speculated that the term "boiled beef" was a turnoff.
Wolfgang Puck agrees. "I just don't think that boiled beef is an American thing," said the celebrity chef and restaurateur who, besides Arnold Schwarzenegger, is perhaps the most famous Austrian living in America. Calling from the kitchen at Spago's in Beverly Hills, the chef joked that "maybe if we have it with some barbecue sauce on the side," it might work.
Puck once had Tafelspitz on his menu at Spago but, as he recalled, "it is very hard to sell it to the customers. I remember, when you cook it, you can't just cook two orders or five orders, you cook 15 orders. So what I liked to do with the leftovers then is slice it when it gets cold, slice it really thin, and put onions and vinegar and pumpkinseed oil and salt and pepper on it and have it like a salad. That's how I had to eat my Tafelspitz—as leftovers!"
This isn't to say that Tafelspitz doesn't exist in America. The problem is finding an Austrian restaurant that serves it. One called Seäsonal in midtown Manhattan offers Tafelspitz on its dinner menu for $28. Yes, a German restaurant might offer it, too—but don't tell the Austrians, who doubt a German can distinguish one cut of beef from another. "You know what the Germans say?" asked Plachutta. "The Germans say, 'I want to eat Tafelspitz, please bring me the shoulder!' "
When it comes to their cooking culture, the Austrians are fiercely protective. Heinz Reitbauer, regarded as one of the country's top chefs, said that his job is "trying to bring Austrian cuisine one step further. . . . We never forget where we came from, our culture, our tradition." At his Steirereck restaurant, which boasts two Michelin stars, he explained, "What we have to do is look at the healthier side of this cuisine." One of the seven courses he served me was char cooked in beeswax. (While still a molten syrup, the wax is poured over the fish. After 10 minutes, the char is broken out of the hardened wax mold, gently cooked and tasting of honey.)
Reitbauer described Austrian cuisine as "a good mixture of a lot of different cultures." To wit, Frederic Morton notes that at the height of the Habsburg Empire, "Thirteen million [subjects] spoke German. . . . Ten million spoke Hungarian. Five million spoke Czech. Three million spoke Slovak, and millions more spoke diverse Slavic or Arabic languages." Morton also lists the equally diverse titles claimed by the kaiser, including emperor of Austria, apostolic king of Hungary, king of Jerusalem, king of Bohemia, king of Dalmatia, king of Transylvania, king of Galicia and Illyria, grand duke of Tuscany and Cracow, margrave of Moravia, and duke of Auschwitz.
Morton goes on to describe the monarchy as "a dynastic fiction, venerable, fragile, superb." Fragile, indeed, as the empire plunged into a war from which it would never recover, its possessions carved up like a cow destined to be someone's Tafelspitz, Schulterscherzel, andHieferschwanzl.
Luckily, the actual Tafelspitz has survived—albeit served in a less aristocratic fashion. Indeed, the only thing that could have made my trip to Vienna better would have been to eat boiled beef in the regal manner described by Joseph Wechsberg. Alas, that wasn't possible. Meissl & Schadn closed its doors shortly after the murder of the Austrian chancellor Karl von Stürgkh in 1916. Stürgkh was shot to death by Friedrich Adler, the son of the Social Democratic party founder Victor Adler.
It happened at the restaurant, and Stürgkh was killed while eating his Tafelspitz.

H Foundation - Goombay Bash
For nearly fifteen years, The H Foundation a non-profit organization founded by businesspeople in and near west suburban LaGrange, Ill., has grossed more than $5 million, of which $3.3 million has provided seed money for the Lurie Cancer Center, which in turn has leveraged $35 million in a wide variety of grants – all for basic science research.
Proceeds from The H Foundation's wildly successful Goombay Bash — A Caribbean Festival to Find a Cure for Cancer — provide the majority of its philanthropic funds.
"The Lurie Cancer Center continues to benefit from The H Foundation's pioneering support for basic research in cancer," said Leonidas Platanias, MD, PhD, director of the Lurie Cancer Center. "Each year, 14 million people are diagnosed with cancer and eight million succumb to the disease. Cancer can only be defeated by physicians, scientists, and philanthropists working together. The H Foundation and its many supporters provide critical funding to our investigators, accelerating the pace of breakthrough discoveries that will ultimately benefit patients in the future." In December 2014, The H Foundation presented Dr. Platanias with a check for $225,000.
In recognition of the extraordinary commitment of the H Foundation board, the Lurie Cancer Center's basic science symposium is now named the "H Foundation Annual Basic Science Symposium." The H Foundation's fundraising support has led to many innovative and successful projects in the area of cancer research. By furthering laboratory-based research, the H Foundation has allowed physician-scientists at the Lurie Cancer Center to pursue unique ideas and collect the initial data that ultimately results in their ability to compete successfully for larger, external grants from the National Institute of Health (NIH) and other agencies.
The cumulative accomplishments made possible by support from the H Foundation serve as a tremendous testament to the importance of private funding for basic science research at the Lurie Cancer Center. With these laboratory discoveries, researchers across Northwestern University strive to translate new findings into improved clinical treatments and cures for cancer patients everywhere.

Silverdale Coffee Shop Calls It Quits
Silverdale After more than two years of operating downtown, the three owners of Americana Coffeehouse are closing the quaint, family-owned cafe.

"My mom, it was her dream to own a coffee shop," said Adrienne McLaughlin-Hampton, one of the owner-operators. "We are closing because we would like to be able to do more things with our family."McLaughlin-Hampton, her mother, Christine McLaughlin, and sister Rachel Melton first opened the cafe in Poulsbo three years ago. After a year, they moved the business to Silverdale's Ross Plaza across from Kitsap Mall. The Central Kitsap residents have been the cafe's primary employees for the past three years.

"One of my goals was to have a business to hand down to my daughters," McLaughlin said. "But the girls have moved on and it wasn't financially good for them."

Two months ago, McLaughlin was upset about the decision to close the shop. But she said she has since gotten over the sadness and admits she already feels a sense of relief.

"It has just financially become impossible to keep going," she said. "It's not good when you are working a full-time job to support your business."

A travel agent with an Edmonds company, McLaughlin said the past three years have been split between her full-time job — including the commute from Seabeck to Edmonds — and the gourmet coffeehouse.

A number of factors contributed to the closure, but the primary reason was a lack of financial gain due to high rent and a recent decline in coffee sales.

"As soon as gas prices go up, people are going to cut out the first thing they can cut out," McLaughlin-Hampton said. "Which is usually going to be gourmet coffee."

On the cafe's last day Friday, the women planned an invite-only goodbye party for their loyal customers. Instead of being depressed about the closure, the recently married McLaughlin-Hampton was looking at it as a celebration of the store's existence and the beginning of many more family-filled days.

"I would like to spend a whole lot of more time with my husband and my family," she said. "We can't even go on a family vacation together because one of us always has to watch the shop."

Fox News misled viewers about trends in household income, job creation, and the use of food stamps while claiming that President Obama's policies are to blame for a supposedly stagnant economy.
During an interview that aired on the September 28 edition of CBS' 60 Minutes, Obama argued that the United States "is definitely better off" economically than it was when he took office in 2009. The president said he would compare the success of his response to the "terrible, almost unprecedented financial crisis" that he inherited to the response by "any leader around the world."
On the September 30 edition of Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy and Fox Business anchor Stuart Varney attempted to refute Obama's claim of economic achievement over the past six years, citing three major indicators -- household income, part-time job creation, and food stamp participation -- to make their case.
In each instance, Fox cherry-picked data to obscure positive trends in the overall economy:
National Review Online contributing editor Jim Geraghty suggested that President Obama "set the tone" for high profile leadership scandals including disgraced NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and embattled General Motors CEO Mary Barra who he claimed were influenced by Obama's alleged lack of "accountability."
Geraghty's September 22 National Review Online blog highlighted a number of recent scandals involving "leaders of large organizations" and compared their missteps to the purported example set by Obama, "the unaccountable leader." Geraghty asked, "Does our president just reflect a broad cultural trend in the behavior of leaders, or does he set the tone from the top?" He continued:
Consider some recent examples of leaders of large organizations with important responsibilities, once they find themselves in the public eye:
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told CBS This Morning he never saw the second tape of Rice striking his wife before Monday. He said, "when we make a decision we want to have all the information that's available. When we met with Ray Rice and his representatives it was ambiguous about what actually happened." Friday afternoon, he announced the league would be making a new effort in dealing with unacceptable player conduct... by forming a special committee.
General Motors CEO Mary Barra, whose company has recalled of 2.6 million cars with defective ignition switches. The faulty parts have been linked to at least 13 deaths and 54 accidents since 2009 and have led to numerous lawsuits. She said, "I don't really think there was a cover up. I think what we had, and it was covered in the report, there were silos of information, so people had bits and pieces and didn't come forward with the information or didn't act with a sense of urgency, and it simply was unacceptable."
These are all private sector scandals, of course. Every administration and every era has its scandals. What our current moment seems to feature is a bumper crop of (alleged) leaders insisting they can wait out he storm, often displaying a glimpse of indignation at suggestions that they resign because something terrible happened on their watch. Somehow tapes of criminal behavior never reach the folks at the top, nor reports of a defect in ignition switches.
Everybody's got rogue low-level staffers in Cincinnati, it seems.
The message has been sent, far and wide: Accountability is for suckers.
Right-wing media figures continue to misleadingly link Obama to unrelated scandals in order to attack his presidency. Not only have conservatives falsely accused Obama of attempting to help GM cover-up its ignition defect, they have baselessly linked the NFL domestic abuse scandal with the terror attacks in Benghazi, falsely suggesting the Obama administration was insufficiently transparent about the September 2012 attacks.
Conservative media are claiming that unemployed Americans are "lazy" because they supposedly spend too much time "shopping" and not enough time working or looking for work. But the data they cite includes the activities of stay-at-home parents, students, people with disabilities, and retirees who are "not employed."
On September 8, fringe conservative website CNS News published an article claiming "an unemployed American is more likely to be shopping ... than to be looking for a new job. " The article ostensibly cited data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), an annual survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). CNS claimed that "only 18.9 percent of Americans who were unemployed" engaged in job searches or job interviews on "an average day." Meanwhile, according to CNS, 22.5 percent of the "unemployed" engaged in shopping "for items other than groceries" on "an average day."
Unfortunately, CNS did not link to its internal data or provide methodology for its reporting, leaving readers to take the website's claims at face value.
Digging into the technical notes of the ATUS reveals that the BLS does not categorize individuals as "unemployed," but rather as "not employed." This distinction is important, as it includes individuals who fit the classification of being unemployed -- not working but actively looking for work -- as well as individuals who are "not in the labor force" for other reasons, including retirement, educational pursuit, and disability. So-called "discouraged workers," the small percentage of the population who involuntarily leave the labor force due to a lack of opportunity, would also count as "not employed" by ATUS classification.
CNS' insinuation that the so-called "unemployed" spend too much time engaged in non-work activities like "shopping" is based on a fatally skewed statistical error. But that fact has not stopped right-wing media outlets from using CNS' assumptions to fuel their campaign against the unemployed.
Fox News turned to misleading statistics and sensational rhetoric in a renewed attack on government anti-poverty relief programs, federal workers, and public pensions.
On the August 21 edition of Fox News' Happening Now, co-host Jon Scott invited Fox Business contributor Charles Gasparino to discuss concerns regarding the scope and sustainability of government benefit programs. The two falsely portrayed government employment as a "growth industry" and made a confusing comparison between the total number of Americans receiving so-called "welfare" and the population of Russia. Gasparino lamented that more "stigma" is not attached to receiving federal aid or "living in a housing project," before falsely concluding that public pensions face a "huge looming crisis" and are, in essence, "Ponzi schemes":
GASPARINO: I don't think Americans are against handing people a check if they really need it, if they're starving, if they need welfare, if they need a helping hand. But we have a cultural situation in this country where it is more than that, where it is almost acceptable. The stigma is gone about accepting that check.
GASPARINO: We've become the old Soviet Union! If you threw in the state numbers, it would even be bigger. The pension issue that I brought up is one of the huge looming crisis out there. It's essentially a Ponzi scheme.
Scott's initial claim that "nearly 110 million Americans live in households on welfare," is misleading. According to the United States Census Bureau, in the fourth quarter of 2012 roughly 109.6 million Americans resided in a household receiving "one or more means-tested programs." These include housing assistance, disability and survivor benefits, numerous nutritional assistance programs, Medicaid, and forms of "cash assistance." Only 5.4 million individuals lived in homes receiving from the benefit program Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), commonly referred to as "welfare."
The portrayal of government employment as a "growth industry" is also false. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, total government employment across local, state, and federal agencies has declined significantly during the Obama administration and over the past seven years. Total government employment was roughly 22.6 million when President Obama took office in 2009, declining to 21.9 million today:
Gasparino's final claim that public employee pensions are "a Ponzi scheme," is incorrect. A February 2011 report by economist Dean Baker of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) demonstrated that most of the long-term funding shortfall in public pensions is a result of the 2007-2009 economic crisis and the accompanying stock market downturn. Baker concluded that the debate on pensions had been "seriously misrepresented" and that most public pensions appeared "easily manageable" over the long term.
Fox News and Gasparino have a long history of misappropriating terms like "welfare" and relying on sensational comparisons of pensions to "Ponzi schemes," in addition to unsubstantiated correlations between the number of recipients of a government program with completely unrelated population statistics.
Heritage Foundation chief economist Stephen Moore grossly exaggerated the cost of providing unaccompanied minors access to American public education to stoke fears that the costs might hurt local communities.
On the August 7 edition of Fox News' Your World, host Neil Cavuto invited conservative economist Stephen Moore to discuss the purportedly high cost of allowing roughly 50,000 unaccompanied minors access to public schools around the country. Citing his own calculations, Moore claimed that the cost of educating these immigrant children could reach $1 billion annually, adding that "it's unfair to put these costs on the backs of local residents ":
Moore's calculation is problematic for a number of reasons.
According to research from the Heritage Foundation, Moore's current employer, the cost of educating a single undocumented immigrant child is roughly $12,300 per year. Therefore, the cost of educating the roughly 50,000 recent undocumented minors in the U.S. would actually be roughly $615 million per year, according to Heritage's estimates.
Furthermore, Moore's fear mongering over the purported $1 billion price tag ignores the size and scope of the American economy. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the current dollar value of the American economy in the second quarter of 2014 was $17.3 trillion. In other words, the cost to educate these children would be less than 0.006 percent of the value of the economy as a whole. Hardly cause for alarm.
Moore's sloppy calculations have gotten him into trouble in the past, as he employs a façade of "economics" to disguise his conservative political agenda.
Heritage Foundation chief economist Stephen Moore was caught using incorrect statistics to mislead readers about the relationship between tax cuts and job creation in the United States.
On July 7, Moore published an op-ed in The Kansas City Star attacking economic policies favored by Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman. The op-ed claimed that "places such as New York, Massachusetts, Illinois and California ... are getting clobbered by tax-cutting states." Moore went on to attack liberals for "cherry-picking a few events" in their arguments against major tax cuts, when in fact it was Moore who cited bad data to support his claims.
On July 24, The Kansas City Star published a correction to Moore's op-ed, specifically stating that the author had "misstated job growth rates for four states and the time period covered." The editorial board of the Star inserted this annotation to Moore's inaccurate claims:
Please see editor's note at the top of this column. No-income-tax Texas gained 1 million jobs over the last five years, California, with its 13 percent tax rate, managed to lose jobs. Oops. Florida gained hundreds of thousands of jobs while New York lost jobs. NOTE: These figures are incorrect. The time period covered was December 2007 to December 2012. Over that time, Texas gained 497,400 jobs, California lost 491,200, Florida lost 461,500 and New York gained 75,900. Oops. Illinois raised taxes more than any other state over the last five years and its credit rating is the second lowest of all the states, below that of Kansas! (emphasis original)
On July 25, Star columnist Yael Abouhalkah explained the correction in more detail. Abouhalkah wrote that Moore had "used outdated and inaccurate job growth information at a key point in his article" and that Moore should have used data from 2009 to 2014, rather than from 2007 to 2012. Abouhalkah also argued that "the problems with Moore's opinion article damaged his credibility on the jobs issue."
Moore's credibility on "the jobs issue" is not the only troubling aspect of his economic punditry. Moore was recently brought on as the chief economist at the conservative Heritage Foundation after serving for many years on the right-wing editorial board of The Wall Street Journal and as a go-to economic commentator on Fox News. Moore has a history of disparaging reasonable economic policies in favor of fiscally irresponsible tax cuts for the wealthy and painful spending cuts to vital programs.
Moore has referred to unemployment insurance as a "paid vacation" for jobless Americans and bizarrely claimed that laws guaranteeing paid sick leave for full-time workers were "very dangerous for cities." Moore spent years basely claiming that the Affordable Care Act would reduce job creation, seamlessly transitioning from one debunked talking point to the next along the way. He is also an outspoken opponent of increasing the minimum wage, claiming that even a moderate rise in wages would result in a "big increase" in unemployment. In a recent foray out of the safety of right-wing media, Moore's anti-living wage spin was easily cut down by CNN anchor Carol Costello.
The original intent of Moore's Star op-ed was to garner support for tax cuts enacted over the past two years by Gov. Sam Brownback (R-KS), which The New York Times and other outlets have labeled "ruinous." The tax cuts have been such a dramatic failure that more than 100 members of the Kansas Republican Party have sworn to help replace Brownback with a Democrat willing to reinstate taxes and spending at their previous levels.
Fox News misleadingly attacked the federal food stamp program for being wasteful and unaccountable despite reports that the program achieved the lowest payment error rate in its history in the most recently available data.
Fox New complained about the findings of a report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on quality control in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), previously known as food stamps. The USDA report clearly states that the 2012 fiscal year was "another year of excellent performance in payment accuracy" before noting that the most recent payment error rate of 3.42 percent was once again "the lowest National payment error rate in the history of SNAP."
On the July 24 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade cast the findings in a negative light, stressing that "the government is overpaying on food stamps by about $2 billion." Co-host Steve Doocy then questioned whether the Obama administration could "be trusted with more money," given the overpayments. Fox Business anchor Stuart Varney went on to chastise the Department of Agriculture for labeling the food-stamp payment error rate of 3.42 percent "excellent," wondering aloud "since when has that been good?"
Fox News' mischaracterization of the SNAP report continued throughout the day. On Happening Now, co-host Jenna Lee called the USDA report "startling" and said that "the administration is having a tough time managing its funds." On The Real Story, host Gretchen Carlson claimed that federal spending on nutrition assistance was "reaching a breaking point" before highlighting the growth of participation in the food stamp program since 2007.
Far from indicating a managerial flaw in the Obama administration, the 2012 payment error rate in SNAP is evidence of success in rooting out improper payments. According to the report being derided on Fox News, the national payment error rate in SNAP during President Obama's first year in office was 4.36 percent. That error rate then fell to 3.81, 3.80, and 3.42 percent in fiscal years 2010-2012, respectively.
In the second quarter of 2014, women comprised just over one-third of weekday cable news guests invited to discuss issues relating to the American economy. The disparity between men and women still marks an improvement over previously measured trends in gender diversity among cable news outlets.
Weekday broadcast and cable evening news coverage of the economy during the past three months focused heavily on policies aimed at spurring job creation and economic growth despite the general lack of input from actual economists. A Media Matters analysis reveals that several topics -- taxes, spending cuts, deficit reduction, economic inequality, minimum wage -- have become highly polarized among major networks.
Fox News hosts read directly from Walmart's official corporate script to defend the company against a critical New York Times op-ed that indicated the retailer's role in perpetuating the need for government assistance programs.
On June 19, The New York Times published an op-ed calling Walmart "a big part of the problem" of rising economic inequality in the United States. Citing data from multiple sources, opinion columnist Timothy Egan noted that the average "associate" at Walmart makes between $8.81 and $11 per hour, frequently relying on government anti-poverty relief to fill income gaps. Egan noted that Walmart claims its average employee makes "at least $12 per hour," but that "these numbers are skewed by higher pay for management." Egan cited a recent exposé by Fortune senior editor Stephen Gandel detailing how the company could easily give a 50 percent raise to more than one million employees without hurting its stock value or profitability:
No matter the exact figure, there's no dispute that Walmart's business model forces thousands of hard-working people to look for outside help just to get by.
And under that model, Walmart has made a fortune -- $17 billion in profits last year, executive compensation for one man at the top in excess of $20 million a year, and a windfall making the six heirs of the founding Walton family worth at least $150 billion.
Walmart could make life easier for its 1.4 million workers, without diminishing its stock value. Writing in Fortune.com, Stephen Gandel concluded that Walmart could give workers a 50 percent raise without hurting shareholder value.
On the June 23 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy and Fox Business anchor Stuart Varney dedicated a segment to supposedly fact-checking the Times, pulling pushback directly from Walmart's officially sanctioned corporate response.
Varney called the Times op-ed "utter nonsense," and an attempt to "demonize Walmart." Ignoring that Egan acknowledged the dispute over Walmart's average hourly wage in the op-ed, Varney stated that the author "got it wrong" as he recited Walmart's more palatable average wage claim. Doocy and Varney uncritically agreed that the data supplied by Walmart was "all true" before pivoting to place blame for economic inequality at the feet of the Obama administration:
Despite Fox's unabashed foray into corporate public relations, Timothy Egan's statement holds true: "No matter the exact figure, there's no dispute that Walmart's business model forces thousands of hard-working people to look for outside help just to get by."

"I ordered the light grey and was a little concerned the pattern on the card would be too light. I was pleasantly surprised when I got the cards - they turned out to be absolutely beautiful and look just like the picture. Subtle and classy, I would definitely recommend it!"
"I love the elegant design with flowers that appear almost hand-painted in water colors on both sides and the texture of the paper is very nice. The teal color is my favorite and appropriate for either male or female receivers."
"I bought these as note or thank you cards when I'm sending to people and put a family picture on the back. I wish I made my own name a little bigger on the bottom, but that was my own fault since there was a picture that showed me what it would look like. Either way, I love it. This is such a sweet design and very usable for any season. I loved being able to put my family picture on the back since people are always asking for updated pics if we don't see them often."
"This card is so perfect and dainty. I bought it as a baby gift for a friend. It is great for a baby girl or a big girl! I used an all lowercase font to make it more juvenile and informal. The quality of the paper is better than I expected."
"I have ordered this card twice after enjoying it so much the first time. I found it versatile and the perfect size for a short note...sometimes a thank you note or a sympathy note...it worked well for both. I deleted the "thank you" heading and inserted my name at the top. That left a little more room to write."

So this mare is a bit closer, but she's been out of work for awhile (although has been brought back into it a few months ago) after having a foal.
The basics: she's 10 years old, 16hh, utd on everything, very willing and eager.. and I'm going to message to find out more.
I'd be using her for jumping and/or hunters, if that is of significance. I also want to eventually try dressage or eventing, but I intend on getting another horse once I'm out of university to "upgrade" so to speak. :)

And that's a creepy video.
I guess this is as good a place as any to post this. I was hoping someone might consider using this in a hype video for the football team this year.
I've been following the Dirty Heads for over 5 years. They have a pretty diverse sound that ranges from reggae to hip hop to slow acoustic jams. Some songs have NSFW language while others are more like radio pop.
This is the title track off their new album which was just released a few weeks ago. I think there is a lot of imagery in the lyrics that could be used for our football team.
For those that listen to 89X, their song "My Sweet Summer" is played about 83 times a day.
Yeah they are really trying to force that as a summer hit song. It's not even in my top 5 favorite songs on the album unfortunately.
so you don't currently work for her, but this will be used as a part of your resume/portfolio.
When you've joined the Medicare Generation, resumes and portfolios won't be an important consideration for you.
You claim to have eclectic musical taste, but when it comes to sports you're as narrow-minded as they come.
Not that interesting
I'm so glad you said tupac is the greatest rapper ever and not the greatest lyricist who ever rapped...
I like boff o dem
Above & Beyond blew me away at EDC this year
Who else had a song tagged by Pac and biggy?
Pac and biggy autocorrects to Pat and boggy, which falls into the Irish genre you mentioned
G funk had some definite classics and Pac is one of the greatest. Above the Law's Black Mafia Life and Uncle Sam's curse are soo damn funky. Dj Quik, SCC, Dre and Snoop, Warren G, Dangerous crew, were all dope. Pac was one of the greats, and his first few albums, Strictly for my N*****, 2pacolypse and Me against the world are incredible. I liked All eyes on me, but half of that album was garbage, the other half classic. How can you diss the east coast though? Give me Gangstarr, Wu-Tang, Rakim, Krs and Tribe any day of the week. Even down south used to be dope as hell. 8ball and MJG, Scarface, Big Mike, UGK. Every coast back in the early 90's was legit in my book
Wants to get funked up!
Sam Hunt was the QB at Middle Tenn ST & UAB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA_e2OK9Nf8
I prefer this one.
These guys have some serious talent. Somehow, I can't carry a tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiVwDnUHcYc
Too many screaming women! I like rock music from '00s and before but in the past two to three years it has gotten worse. A few good bands are out there like five finger death punch but a bunch of junk is out there now!
I'll put Lzzy Hale against any current rock front man though
If you like country I suggest Brantley Gilbert's latest album Just As I Am. I've gotten into country lately as a change of pace and have really enjoyed it.
Try Jamey Johnson for a more authentic country sound and Sturgill Simpson is a new guy getting some attention after a couple really good albums. Country radio has changed alot as the majority of it is pretty much pop now.
I like Brantley's style because it's more rock than anything else. I'm not huge in the traditional stuff. There definitely is a huge variety of country sounds.
Sturgill Simpson is a badass.
I love when these threads come along... I'll recommend almost anything except country.
Alternative/Indie Rock: Spoon (new album dropping the fifth of Aug.), Cold War Kids, The Shins, Vampire Weekend, St. Lucia, Future Islands (more of a synth sound), Phoenix, Portugal. the Man, MGMT (trippy), Arctic Monkeys, Magic Man, Foster the People, Broken Bells, Bon Iver, Avett Brothers (folk/bluegrass rock sound), Bad Suns, Franz Ferdinand, and The Black Keys
In terms of synth rock: Chvrches, Broods, Purity Ring, John Maus, Rudimental, and the Naked and Famous
I saw the listing for hip-hop, so hopefully that includes rap... Not a huge rap guy, but here are the guys that I listen to: Danny Brown, Childish Gambino, Earl Sweatshirt, A$AP Ferg, and Kendrick Lamar.
One of the advantages of having been born when Harry Truman was President of the United States is that I've enjoyed listening to the evolution of popular music and getting introduced to music from all over the world.
While I'm no fan of country, rap or opera, and the only classical album I've ever bought was one that had a recording of the 1812 Overture, I'll give almost any kind of music a try.
Agreed on St. Lucia, they're an incredible band based in NYC. Kind of a mix of m83 & Passion Pit. Just saw them a few weeks ago in Michigan and they put on a hell of a performance too.
Their entire When The Night album is fantastic.
Danny Brown's alright... he's odd-looking, but he spits okay... earl sweatshirt's pretty nice lately, especially now that his voice has bassed-down a bit... I can't do anything with Kendrick Lamar, though... I'm trying to figure out what the hype is about... perhaps I'm too old to understand why his skills are seen as superior to and more marketable than somebody like pharoahe monch...
If you're into folk/indie music, everybody should check out the new album from Australian duo, Angus & Julia Stone.
New album is produced by Rick Rubin and comes out August 1st (digital) or August 5th (physical).
Note: I can't make the same disclaimer OP did, but I'm confident in the quality of this record. It's one of my favorite albums of 2014 so far...
Ultraviolet Hippopotamus (from Grand Rapids), Widespread Panic, Greensky Bluegrass, The Mantras....
Just saw the Mantras at the Tonic Room in Chicago on Saturday night. Pretty damn impressive show- they took maybe 90 seconds total across 3 "set breaks" but basically played non-stop for 2+ hours.
Is performing at Meijer Gardens tomorrow night, for all you "west siders"
Also for the Westsiders: if you're into folk, go see The Crane Wives at Founders on Saturday
Has nice tits
Nothing More. Play on repeat until you or your machine breaks, whichever comes first
That hype video was the start of hype videos for me...still watch it and "2010 michigan football pump up" before the season and games...still gets me, everytime
It's probably not quite hype video worthy, but I have been rediscovering my rather impressive collection of Tangerine Dream albums lately, as well as Yellow Magic Orchestra. Definitely dated stuff by today's techno / progressive rock standards, but these two groups were innovators back in the day. I actually had Tangerine Dream's 1981 album "Exit" playing a little bit ago...
Tangerine Dream reminds me a little of the Alan Parsons Project whom many sports fans may recognize from the old Chicago Bulls intro music, Sirius.
For hype video music I've suggested a song by Steve Wynn, a founding member of the Los Angeles based 80s band The Dream Syndicate, from his album Static Transmission with The Miracle 3, Amphetamine.
There's a good version of Amphetamine on YouTube from a live set played at SXSW in 2011.
If hip hop has gotten bland to you, a fresh voice that most people have never heard is homeboy sandman... no two songs he's made sound the same and he's quite the clever linguist... and you could always try Aesop rock (not a$ap fucking rocky), who's not new by any means, but is also lesser known commodity...
I got turned on to Homeboy Sandman through his collaboration with Kalae All Day (now Kalae Nouveau) on this song:
2014 albums I've bought:
1. Beck - Morning Phase
2. Black Keys - Turn Blue
3. Jack White - Lazaretto
Beck's and Jack White's are amazing. Black Keys' is different from their norm...
I saw Jenny Lewis's show recently. It was swell.
Good little mashup that will stick with you. https://soundcloud.com/djearworm/dj-earworm-hands-only-cpr-mashup
The latest Old 97's, anything by The Bottle Rockets, Neil Young International Harvesters, anything by Alejandro Escovedo and the first Stone Roses
Only Built For Cuban Links. Best album ever put out by the Wu-Tang Clan.
the purple tape...
Yep. You just press play and sit back and listen. It almost plays out like a movie in your mind. To this day, whenever it rains Rainy Dayz gets stuck in my head.

No new guitar, but a cool souvenir nonetheless!
Nothing for me either. As it turned out, we could only stay from 11-4 Friday, and could not make Saturday. Apologies to those of you I did not say hello to. I was this close to a a HB II SC, but fortunately for my bank account, they did not have any colors that grabbed me.
No guitars or amps for me, but I did grab one of these lovely padded leather straps for my DGT. Soooooooooooo comfortable!

I should probably apologize for not seeking out forum members as well, I spent most of Friday trying to find things that to photograph, that didn't have someone walk in front of me just as I got it focused. Then Saturday I was on the quest for a non-blue P24 Trem, but apparently 1) I waited too long and the black/gold all sold, and 2) I learned the international dealers scooped up most of the limited 50 stock. So it was ugly blue or nothing, and I learned from Shawn that refinishes are ~$1200 so it was nothing in the end. Sorry I was preoccupied a bit, but even sorrier I couldn't score a P24t. Here's hoping they release a standard model with additional colors in the spring!
BTW - what happened to the Foosball Throwdown??? I did swing by the table frequently and the leader board was blank the whole time.

For a variety of reasons I wasn't able to get there until about 3pm on Saturday. My buddy greeted me and asked, "So what are you going to buy today?". "Nothing", I said, having just bought a sweet Breedlove acoustic-electric this week (a nice complement to my SE Angelus). Needless to say, I was walking out of the building by 3:45 carrying a Black Gold 408 Semi. I'm such a sucker for limited runs...

If you are interested in trading some value stocks, but aren't quite sure which stock you trust the most, then you may want to consider an ETF such as the iShares S&P 500 Value Index Fund (IVE). This exchange traded fund corresponds to the price and performance of the S&P 500 Value Index. The underlying index tracks the performance of the large-cap value-stock sector of the U.S. equity market. The stocks that IVE holds have an average P/E ratio of 11.5 and an average Price/Book ratio of 1.4. Some of its biggest holdings include General Electric (GE), Microsoft (MSFT), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Exxon Mobil (XOM). Each of those stocks have P/E of around 15 or lower. Using this ETF allows you to diversify over a wide range of stocks, which limits your downside risk should one or more of the stocks run into trouble. ETFs are great for the investor looking to enter into a specific part of the market, but not put all their eggs in one basket.

(Andrea Cremer, New York Times bestselling author of the Nightshade trilogy)
Two days before the start of her junior year, seventeen-year-old Janelle Tenner is hit by a pickup truck and killed—as in blinding light, scenes of her life flashing before her, and then nothing. Except the next thing she knows, she's opening her eyes to find Ben Michaels, a loner from her high school whom Janelle has never talked to, leaning over her. And even though it isn't possible, she knows—with every fiber of her being—that Ben has somehow brought her back to life.
But her revival, and Ben's possible role in it, is only the first of the puzzles that Janelle must solve. While snooping in her FBI agent father's files for clues about her accident, she uncovers a clock that seems to be counting down to something—but to what? And when someone close to Janelle is killed, she can no longer deny what's right in front of her: Everything that's happened—the accident, the murder, the countdown clock, Ben's sudden appearance in her life—points to the end of life as she knows it. And as the clock ticks down, she realizes that if she wants to put a stop to the end of the world, she's going to need to uncover Ben's secrets—and keep from falling in love with him in the process.
