Media releases, whilst not entirely dead as a means of generating media coverage as part of a public relations strategy, are these days nowhere near as effective as establishing a thought leadership platform.
Establishing this platform helps generate media coverage through media utilisation of op-eds (opinion pieces) and, because the organisation/individual becomes known as an expert (or 'talent') on this topic, they actually call you for comment, rather than the other way around: every public relations professional's dream come true!
Most media is tired of product announcements through media releases, but they can still be captivated by issues-driven campaigns underpinned by thought leadership (Craig Badings' blog is a great resource on this topic). Three fundamental precepts of meaningful media coverage for thought leadership include:
- strategically targeting media relevant to organisational target audiences (appropriate vertical B2B media, mainstream metro, talkback radio etc). There is no point (other than ticking fatuous media coverage KPI boxes) in coverage for the sake of it. The KPIs should be driven by business and communication needs
- focusing on issues platforms relevant to organisational target audiences and, even if not all the time, they should be consistently relevant to the company's service/product offering
- choosing wisely who will front the thought leadership campaign. Will it be one person or more? From a brand consistency perspective it is better to have one person, but it provides brand 'insurance' if more than one person is utilised, as employees can leave at any time. It is also possible to use different spokespersons for different sorts of campaigns in a customised manner (e.g. a technical, customer-facing person for technical issues and the CEO for broader issues such as supply and demand in the marketplace or sustainability).
There are a range of ways, or 'steps' if you like, to help develop thought leadership platforms. These include:
- undertaking 'desktop' research into key areas relevant to the organisation through the internet/media; looking overseas to identify useful information and potential platforms that can be refined for Australia (the recycling and recontextualising and freshening up of platforms/information is fine – in fact, it's smart!)
- talk to any potentially relevant person you can in the organisation – marketing, business, technical etc – to inform you as to what the organisational needs and opportunities are, including for thought leadership itself; what are the target audiences looking for expertise on?
- holding workshops/brainstorming sessions with senior leadership: identify their interests and passions, both professional and non-vocational specific; what are they obsessed about/experts in? Don't be afraid to probe and push and use what you have come up with in the preliminary research stage
- A combination of the above approaches is, of course, the best practice way to go.
When coming up with a draft list of thoughts, and this might be pre or post the leadership workshop, it is absolutely a good idea to have a chat with a few journos who are ultimately being targeted. Get their feedback on some of the thoughts/issues you have conceptualised to see if they would be interested in a point of view on it/them.
You need some themes/content to back up the question so you sound more credible, but it is okay to position it as a WIP. This is good for a relationship-building exercise with the media. Only use journos you trust for this, bearing in mind it is also a great way to build trust.
You should undertake this interaction before spending large amounts of time (i.e. client/employer money) developing the content anyway, as you may decide to drop an approach or dramatically reconfigure it to more closely meet media needs/interests.
An op-ed is a great way to kick off the thought leadership campaign. Different elements of the thought leadership platform can be focused on over a long period of time in different op-eds.
In future posts I'll talk about leveraging the media interest generated by an op-ed placement and, in particular, how op-eds have an even greater opportunity in B2B media.
So, what are your thoughts on information in this post? Have you applied any of these approaches? How did they go? What have I missed out on that is crucial in undertaking these approaches?

How Can I Become Recertified in Neurofeedback?
Please note the following changes to the 2014 Recertification program:
Online Recertification Form or Printable Recertification Form
Candidates for recertification must complete 48 hours (30 hours for Senior Fellows) of accredited continuing education related to the blueprint relevant to biofeedback and/or the disorder you may be treating with the majority of your hours being neurofeedback-specific. Senior fellows may use the online or the printable recertification form. Individuals certified in both General and Neurofeedback may use CE credits from accredited providers for recertification in both programs.
Technicians must complete 30 hours of accredited continuing education to include 3 hours of ethics/professional standards and may recertify using the printable recertification form.
All certificants are required to abide by the BCIA Professional Standards and Ethical Principles.
Three of the required hours must be related to ethics and professional standards, and the 25 hours of elective continuing education are no longer required; however, we do encourage you to continue to read and study good materials that are outside of the accredited work. If for any reason you are unable to complete the continuing education, you may take the written certification exam.
How to Fulfill your CE Requirements

 Scott, thanks for the reply. However I did build numpy first in the sequence, and it built without errors. I'm beginning to think I may have incompatible versions of the source code.

On my system ubuntu installs a self compiled versions of numpy in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ where it won't normally be found if you have already got a version installed in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/. One solution to that problem is to make a *.pth file

Type: Bug
Status: Closed
Priority: Blocker
Resolution: Not A Problem
Affects Version/s: 2.2
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: None
Environment:Windows Vista Business (x64), Windows XP (x86), Windows 2003 Server (x86)
Apache Maven 2.1.0 (r755702; 2009-03-18 20:10:27+0100) and Maven 2.0.10
Java version: 1.6.0_13
This bug report provides more insight on the situations in which the maven-checkstyle-plugin is unable to get the class information for exceptions that are declared by the project. This report is, therefore, a refinement of prior bug reports such as MPCHECKSTYLE-1, MPCHECKSTYLE-20, or
MCHECKSTYLE-54. We believe, however, that through a more in-depth study of the problem we can provide a narrower definition of the problem that, hopefully, will result in it resolution.
Our experiments have shown that the maven-checkstyle-plugin fails for classes or interfaces that contain method signatures with a "throws" clause pointing to exception defined by both the project and elsewhere. This is demonstrated by the interface "ch.ethz.globis.demo.Demo" contained in the attached demo project.
public interface Demo
If the command "mvn checkstyle:check" is executed in the project, it will fail with one checkstyle violation. If, however, the method "foo()" is commented (or removed), everything works fine. Note that method "foofoo()" which only declares "ch.ethz.globis.demo.DemoException" is unproblematic as well as method "bar()" which declares a set of exceptions that are declared outside the project. Hence, the conclusion is that it is the combination of both project and outside-project exceptions that make the maven-checkstyle-plugin fail. Note that we have run maven on clean installation (where the local repository has been removed first) to produce a reproducible error.
The attached zip file contains both the demo project that can be used to reproduce the error as well as the output of the "mvn checkstyle:check" command under "target". We also provide the file "output.txt" that documents the console output of the command. If further documentation is required, do not hesitate to contact me. We hope that by providing this information we can contribute to the resolution of said issue, once and for all.

This looks like an issue with checkstyle itself, see:
Is there some activity on this topic? I can find similar error reports from years back - it looks like either this bug is very hard to track down, or it's simply not worked on I, and I think many others, would be very grateful to see this issue removed
We ran into this at work too. Evidently checkstyle, if run on uncompiled code, will not be able to find your custom exceptions. With compiled code (what we usually do), it looks like things should be OK unless your error originates from a dependency that is marked with a test scope. In our project, junit currently is marked as being in the test scope but that is where the InitializationError Exception comes from and what triggered the bug for us. It should be possible to fix this by pointing checkstyle to the right dependency but I am not completely sure how.
Closing, as this is not a problem of the maven-checkstyle-plugin itself.
This happened to me as well when working with annotation processors, etc. In this case simply add the framework dependency in question to the <plugin><dependencies> worked for me.

My compute has had a virus for about a week. I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of it, and have only made the problem worse if anything. I finally have to ask for help, and I'm afraid this may be my last resort before I just leave the whole system for dead.
Last week my desktop background changed to a message reading:
"WARNING! Spyware detected on your computer! Install an antivirus or spyware remover to clean your computer.
Warning! Win32/Adware.Virtumonde
Warning! Win32/privacyremover.M64"
And my ability to change my desktop has been removed. I made sure I had the latest update for my anti-virus program, McAfee, and ran it to find a few trojan files and a bunch of files it said were encrypted and weren't scaned.
I made sure I had the latest update for Spybot too, and ran it to find a lot of Spyware. But strangely, about half way through the scan, Spybot freezes and won't scan any further. So I stopped the scan, and fixed all the problems in had found up to that point. Not that it matters, because they all came back when I restarted anyway.
This freezing may be caused because I only have the latest definitions from Sybot, and not the latest version of the program. But I can't update that because, and here's the REALLY horrible part, this virus seems to be blocking certain internet sites that might be helpful. Even the online scan I use, trendmicro, can't be reached. In fact, the only place I was lucky enough to be able to come to is Computing.Net.
So far the only thing that's changed about this whole thing, is I've somehow messed up my system so that explorer.exe doesn't run at start up, and I need to run it manually. Just lucky I knew how to do that.
Just a suggestion, get rid of mcafee, go to the website listed below and download either antivirus program. Make sure you remove mcafee before doing so. Uninstall spybot and do a install of lavasoft adaware. Do a scan and delete everything that comes up.
Jim R
I was about to make a new thread for this, but luckily someone else is having the same problem.
I'm also running Mcaffee, although I don't like it, family does. I have a few Anti-Spywares that work well, Super Anti-Spyware included. ATF-Cleaner as well. For future reference..please say Mcaffee is useless compared to ones like AVG...so I have a reason to get rid of it :D
My computer is showing the same symptoms, and a few more unmentioned. It started on one of the computer's accounts, blocking internet access (the account had known tracking cookies, but I doubt those could cause that..it did hijack my google though). The computer's background was changed, as well as the screen saver, overwrited with a SS called "Bluescreen" showing exactly what it sounds like, and removing the ability to exit the screen saver. The registry was changed, removing Desktop and Screen Saver from the Display Properties dialog. Safe mode is the safest bet now. The virus seems to be spreading and making more changes over time, as it got worse for the past few days. My cousin has the same virus, and its completely ruined her system, she can't even do safe mode anymore. Before this gets worse, I'm reformatting either way, disk is ready, just cleaning stuff up. Either way, I'd like to know if anyone can track down the name of this virus. I figure its new since alot of people have gotten it only recently, and doing a completely unrelated search I even came across the symptoms posted by someone else (stating that the virus was obtained from downloading a false flash update). I just want to know the name, date of release, and maybe a few ways its downloaded so I know to get everyone to avoid it next time :) Long message, I know..thanks for the help though :D
P.S I tried to change the registry data for background and screensaver in place of the display properties menu. That failed..made no change to the computer..the virus is smarter than me? :(
Just a suggestion, get rid of mcafee, go to the website listed below and download either antivirus program. Make sure you remove mcafee before doing so. Uninstall spybot and do a install of lavasoft adaware. Do a scan and delete everything that comes up.
Jim R
Sadly, all of those sites are getting blocked. I shall do a Google Search, and see if I can find a site that isn't that has the programs up for download.
Well, I spent the last day trying to install AVG and failed. The file was probably bad or something. The only place I could actually download it from was Download.com, and they seem to enjoy cutting my download off halfway through. That was a wasted 15 hours. I'm trying to download Avast! now.
I did install and run Adaware, and after deleting something like 80 infected files it seemed to have fixed everything. I could even change my desktop again. Sadly, it all went back to being broken after I restarted my computer and I couldn't get it fixed again in future scans. Is it possible to have a virus that comes back each time you restart?
Oh, and explorer.exe still doesn't run at start up. I seem to be going nowhere fast. It would almost be funny, if it weren't so depressing.
Good news. I got Avast! running, and after several scans and deleting something like 20 trojans out of my WINDOWS folder everything seems to be running properly. My internet is no longer blocked, explorer runs at start up, and even those annoying little pop-up in my taskbar that Windows sets off when it thinks I'm not doing things properly are back. I could have lived wtihout those honestly, but it's good to see them none the less.
Now the only problem is my desktop. I still can't change it by right-clicking and going to the properties menu. Not that it's life threatening or anything, but as long as there's one problem I'm, afraid they all might come back.
use spybot search & destroy and it will give you your desktop back. find a helpful link @ http://www.mytechbench.com

By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: June 2 2011 4:35 PM 0 Dean Baquet In what's being called a "historic and sudden shake-up" at the New York Times, Jill Abramson has been named the first female executive editor, and former Los Angeles Times Editor and Executive Vice President Dean Baquet will take over as managing editor. According to the Daily Beast, "There was a plausible rival [for the executive editor position] in the person of Dean Baquet, the Washington bureau chief, who moves up to managing editor. Baquet was a dynamic editor of the Los Angeles Times before resigning amid the wreckage of Tribune Co. budget cuts. He may still become the first African-American editor of The New York Times." The new positions mean that one of the world's most influential newspapers will have a woman and an African American in its top two jobs. Baquet began his career as a reporter in New Orleans in the late 1970s. In 1988 he shared a Pulitzer Prize for the Chicago Tribune's coverage of City Hall corruption. Later he took over at the Los Angeles Times as the paper struggled with decreased circulation and with the threat of major budget cuts; he is well-known for his refusal to cut staff there. He'll undoubtedly continue to make his mark on journalism in this new and prestigious post. Read more at the Daily Beast and Politico.

A 18-year-old motorcyclist died after troopers say he was thrown about 100 feet off his bike after crashing into a culvert late last night.
It happened around 11:25 p.m. Wednesday in Beaufort County.
Sgt. Tim Crumpler tells WITN that Zachary Albee of Beaufort County was traveling south on Taylor Road, just outside of Chocowinity, when witnesses say he crossed the center line, over-corrected, struck a driveway culvert and hit an utility pole. Witnesses say they could see flames coming for the motorcycle after impact.
Albee was thrown from the 1997 Honda motorcycle and was pronounced dead on the scene. Sgt. Crumpler says no other vehicles were involved and that speed was a factor in the crash.

text: 3D-mapped chapel becomes laser-controlled musical instrument Culture 02 April 12 by Olivia Solon Archifon I. - Interactive InstallationINITI.org (The Macula) Prague-based projection mapping collective Macula have turned a Baroque church into a virtual music instrument that can be played with laser pointers. The surface of the interior of the Olomouc Baroque chapel in the Czech Republic was mapped, with parts of the architecture becoming triggers for different sounds and visual effects.The piece -- called Archifon I -- allows up to 10 visitors to interact with the mapped surface of the deconsecrated church. In addition to triggering sounds, the laser pointers also trigger projected animations, ranging from simply lighting up a particular statue or causing a rainy thunderstorm to accompany a dramatic soundscape.For example, angel statues trigger the sound of choristers, while different panes of the windows trigger different tones of tubular bell. Different parts of a large biblical painting trigger different polyphonic soundscapes. The pillars act as effects sliders, and running the laser pointer along them triggers a moving animation and a crackly feedback sound. There is even a programmable drum machine integrated into the top part of the pillars. The audio and Max MSP programming was done by Tomaš Dvořák and the real-time tracking was developed by Dan Gregor. The piece was erected for the opening ceremony of the PAF film and animation festival in Olomouc in December 2011. Edited by Nate Lanxon Latest on wired.co.uk

Local packaging company rebounds, expands following economic crisis
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
Eighth in a series
Joseph Wallace last week told the MSR that his business, Independent Packing Services, Inc. (IPSI), is "doing six figures" in annual revenues. Wallace is president of IPSI, one of several local Black-owned businesses that employ many workers, in his case "just under 50 employees."
He believes it is the only Black-owned packaging and crating firm in the nation, but he quickly points out, "I don't necessarily look at [it] as being a minority business or a trailblazer. I would look at it as the type of product we deliver in this
region; we're definitely at the top of the food chain of delivering heavy industrial design and packaging to our clients. I'm very proud of my ethnicity, but that's not how I think in terms of my business."
IPSI is a transport packaging firm started by his father in 1976, who according to Wallace "has been in business for himself since the age of 26. "We design and manufacture transport packaging — customized crating for anything from fine artwork to heavy electronics to heavy industrial equipment" — for major commercial customers in the medical, government, transportation and industrial industry, explains the three-year president.

09:08, UK, Thursday 09 October 2003
A horrifying bear attack which left a renowned wildlife author and his girlfriend dead was caught on tape, it has emerged. It appears the couple had turned on a video camera to film the bear shortly before it attacked.
But the camera lens cover had not been taken off and only the sound of the attack was recorded.
Timothy Treadwell, author of Among Grizzlies: Living With Wild Bears in Alaska, was mauled to death while filming bears in Alaska.
'They're both screaming'
Girlfriend Amie Huguenard was also later killed by a bear: it is now known whether she was mauled at the same time or some time afterwards.
The tape was recovered by trooper Chris Hill who found the couple's remains, which were being sat on by a bear.
"The audio starts while he's being mauled and ends while he's being mauled," Mr Hill said.
"They're both screaming, she's telling him to play dead, then it changes to fighting back. He asks her to hit the bear.
"There's so much noise going on. I don't know what's him and what might be an animal."
He added: "It's pretty disturbing. I keep hearing it in my mind."
It is thought Mr Treadwell may have heard a bear and asked Ms Huguenard to turn on the camera, which was found with the lens cap on and packed in a camera bag.
"At first, she sounds kind of surprised and asks if it's still out there. I'm not sure if she was asking if a bear was outside their tent or in the brush," Mr Hill said.
A ranger who recovered the bodies shot and killed a large brown bear when the animal charged at them through the dense brush.
Troopers and rangers later killed a smaller bear apparently stalking them.
The remains of Mr Treadwell, 46, and Huguenard, 37, both of Malibu, California, were found on Monday at Katmai National Park and Preserve on the Alaska Peninsula.
The writer was known for approaching bears in the wild.
Much of the footage recovered from the scene is close-up shots of bears.
Some scenes show bears no more than a few feet from Mr Treadwell while others show a more timid Ms Huguenard leaning away as bears come close to her on the bank of a river.

ELEVEN years ago, Joe Tiller, Purdue's head football coach at the time, presented a challenge of forming one of the largest chapters in the National Football Foundation here in Northwest Indiana. In the 10 years since receiving its charter in Tippecanoe County, the Northwest Indiana Chapter (which was renamed in 2007 the Joe Tiller Chapter of Northwest Indiana) has enlisted nearly 670 members, becoming the largest chapter in the state and the second largest in the nation at one point.
As a group of football-loving enthusiasts with the purpose of advancing amateur football at the local, state and national levels, the Joe Tiller Chapter of the NFF provides grassroots support in a many ways.
As a non-profit organization, this chapter has awarded more than $230,000 in grants, scholarships, honorariums and donations since receiving its charter in 2004. Awards nominations must be submitted to chapter director Jim Vruggink each year by the end of January.
This chapter offers scholarship opportunities for scholar athletes at 70 high schools in 17 Northwest Indiana counties (Benton, Carroll, Cass, Clinton, Fountain, Fulton, Howard, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Miami, Newton, Porter, Pulaski, Tippecanoe, Warren and White). Selection of the Scholar Athlete of the Year is based 40% on academic achievement, 40% football performance and attitude, and 20% leadership and citizenship. In addition to seeking donations and sponsorships to support the scholarship program, the chapter also receives money ($500 for every 50 dues-paying members in the local chapter) from the national office in Irving, Tex. In its first 10 years, this chapter has recognized 195 scholar athletes, awarding scholarships ranging in size between $200 and $5,000 individually.
In addition to the scholarships, the local chapter has been involved with youth programs such as the Dream Season (providing experiences for kids and young adults with disabilities) and the Lafayette 56ers, Attica Youth Football, Little Gridiron, and West Side Flag Football, helping to provide opportunities for elementary school-aged players in the area. The chapter also helps to support the Indiana Football Hall of Fame.
The NFF chapter is one of 120 nation-wide and is now the largest in Indiana and seventh largest in the country with 159 members. Other Indiana chapters are in South Bend, Fort Wayne, Evansville and Indianapolis. Nationally, the NFF has more than 12,000 members and awards more than $1.3 million in scholarships each year.

A compound fracture was an injury that occurred when there was a break in the skin around a broken bone.
When miniaturized by spiroid epsilon waves in 2269, Hikaru Sulu suffered a compound fracture of the leg after falling from a console top on the USS Enterprise. (TAS: "The Terratin Incident")
The Doctor had healed eleven compound fractures during the USS Voyager's first year in the Delta Quadrant. (VOY: "Lifesigns")
In 2373, after having sex with Grilka, Quark had a compound fracture of the right radius, along with several other injuries. (DS9: "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places")
In 2374, Kellin was left with a tibular compound fracture after a bulkhead on her vessel had fallen on her. (VOY: "Unforgettable")

Ask Sam...
More questions: Healthy diet| Ages and stages| Health issues| Keeping food safe| Food labels
Labelling rules
I bought a sandwich and when I got home I realised that its 'use by' date was two days ago. What should I do?Don't eat the sandwich. You shouldn't eat any food product that has passed its 'use by' date, because it might not be safe to eat. In fact, it's illegal for shops to sell food after its 'use by' date.
You could take the sandwich back to the shop where you bought it and ask for an exchange or refund. Or you could contact the trading standards or environmental health service at your local authority. It is their responsibility to investigate if they think a shop is not obeying the law, and to take appropriate action. If you decide to contact your local authority, you may need to make a statement and give them the food product and packaging as evidence.
But remember that 'use by' dates are different to other dates you may see on food products. It's not illegal for shops to sell food after its 'best before', 'sell by' or 'display until' date.
If a food contains trans fats, do they have to be mentioned in the ingredients and the nutritional information on the label?Trans fats (also called trans fatty acids) don't have to be included in the nutritional information provided on a food label unless a specific trans fats claim has been made such as 'low in trans fats'. And they don't need to be listed in the ingredients.
However, trans fats can be formed during the process of hydrogenation, which means that some foods that contain hydrogenated vegetable oil also contain trans fats. Hydrogenated vegetable oil must be declared in the ingredients list. This means that if the ingredients list includes hydrogenated vegetable oil, there may also be trans fats in the product.
Trans fats count as part of the total fat in the nutritional information on the label. They are not classed as saturates, monounsaturates or polyunsaturates, so they won't be included in the figures for these.
Trans fats have a similar effect on blood cholesterol to saturated fats. They raise the type of cholesterol in the blood that increases the risk of coronary heart disease. Some evidence suggests that the effects of these trans fats may be worse than saturated fats.
It's important to try to eat less of both saturated fat and trans fats. Food high in saturated fat includes meat, sausages, meat pies, hard cheese, butter, cakes, pastries, biscuits and food containing coconut or palm oil. Generally, people eat a lot more saturated fat than trans fats.
Is a shop allowed to sell food that has passed its 'sell by' date?'Sell by' dates, like 'Display until' dates, are used by some shops to help staff know when they need to take food products off the shelves. It is up to the manufacturer or shop if it wants to put a 'Sell by' or 'Display until' date on packaged foods. But they must also have either a 'Use by' or 'Best before' date.
Since the 'Sell by' date is just a guide to shop staff, it isn't against the law to sell a food after it. However, shops mustn't sell foods that have passed their 'Use by' date. And you shouldn't eat foods after their 'Use by' date because they might not be safe to eat. 'Use by' dates are used on foods that go off quickly, such as milk, soft cheese, ready-prepared meals and smoked fish.
You will see 'Best before' dates on foods that last longer, such as frozen, dried or tinned foods. Shops are allowed to sell foods after their 'Best before' date (except eggs) and they will probably still be safe to eat.
But if you buy foods after their 'Best before' date, bear in mind that they might not be as good to eat as they were before. They might have started to lose their flavour or texture. The one food you shouldn't eat after its 'Best before' date is eggs. This is because eggs can contain salmonella bacteria, which could start to multiply after this date.
Do sachets have to give ingredients and 'best before' dates?What information must be on a sachet depends on the size of the sachet. Small sachets of salt, sugar and vinegar only need to be labelled with the name of the food. Small sachets of other foods, including hot chocolate, should give either a 'Best before' or 'Use by' date, as well as the food name.
If the largest surface of a sachet is more than 10 square centimetres then it must give the following information:
Do I need to label cakes and jams sold for charity?If you sell food for a charity, you might have to follow food labelling regulations. There isn't a straightforward answer to whether the regulations will apply to you or not because this will depend on how the food is sold and the organisation or charity selling them.
In general, the Food Labelling Regulations 1996 don't apply to food that isn't prepared as part of a business. So this means that most food being sold for charity won't need to be labelled, including food sold at one-off events such as church fêtes and school fairs.
But if you regularly sell packaged food for charity (for example, jars of jam or boxed cakes), you might have to follow the regulations. This is still the case if you don't make a profit.
Foods that are sold loose don't need to be labelled. So if you sell unpackaged cakes and buns, you wouldn't need to label them even if you sell them regularly. However, if any of the ingredients had been irradiated or genetically modified, you would need to declare this.
To find out more about what regulations apply to your situation, contact the trading standards department at your local authority. You may also need to follow food hygiene regulations – ask the environmental health department at your local authority for more information.
If you're not legally required to label a food, you could do it voluntarily, giving the product name, a list of ingredients (in descending order of weight) and details of any ingredients that could cause an allergic reaction, such as nuts. If you do label a food, you must make sure that the information you provide is accurate.
If fish has been farmed, does it have to say so on the label?The label on pre-packed fish must show how it has been produced, for example, 'farmed', 'cultivated' , 'caught' or 'caught in fresh water'. The label must also state:
When fish is sold loose at a fish counter, the same rules apply. The information will generally be displayed on a sign next to the fish.
Is it legal to sell products past their 'best before' date?Shops are allowed to sell food after its 'best before' date has passed. 'best before' dates are concerned with quality rather than safety, so it doesn't mean that the food is dangerous if the 'best before' date has passed. However, if you buy food after the date, remember that it might no longer be at its best.
'Use by' dates are different to 'best before' dates and it is against the law to sell any food that has passed its 'use by' date. Using it after this date could put your health at risk.
In all cases, whether or not the 'best before' date has expired, the law says that food sold must not put people's health at risk and must not be falsely or misleadingly described or presented.
What are the rules for labelling foods that contain GM ingredients?A food that contains or consists of genetically modified (GM) ingredients must say so on the label. However, labelling isn't required for:

A fifth person has been arrested in connection with the murder of a Rocky Mount teenager last month.
Juan Simmons, of Rocky Mount, was arrested in Phoenix, Arizona. The 33-year-old woman is charged with accessory after the fact for murder and accessory after the fact for arson.
Two suspects in the September 4th death of Chavalis Boyd were found last weekend in Phoenix as well.

Hey I just got a kitten and have some basic questions.
1. Kitty Litter. How often do you completely dump it and change it? A google search showed people changing it daily all the way to 2 months. It seems like 2 - 3 days is what I am looking at. Is that normal? I am using Cats Pride Complete Kitty Litter which seems to suck. I do not have experience with kitty litter so I am not sure if it is just me or this is normal. Can I change kitty litter brands or will the cat be sensitive to changes? I have a kitty litter box which senses the cat, then scoops it out and puts it in a tray 10 minutes later. It is actually very nice but the kitty litter doesnt seem to clump all that much even though they consider it "scoopable".
2. Food - Safe to leave dry food and water out all day or will the cat get fat? How often do you give wet food? Is that like a treat?
3. Sleeping - I got like a little Kitty Kondo. During the day he plays on it and jumps on it and goes on it but he usually just sleep on the rug next to it. Do they need a specific sleeping spot or is it ok he sleeps wherever he wants?
4. Other than that I got him a bunch of toys to keep him occupied while I am away which he seems to love. Anything else I should know? Thanks

Exactly. He was trained by Epstein, the guy who put us where we are today.
Please name a better GM in Red Sox history. And before you bring up Duquette - who did have some good points - he had the team for only one less season, he did have team payrolls far more commeasurate with league leaders, and he never won anything...
His name is Dick O'Connell.... I should not have to educate you on this one.
He was the man who got the farm system back on track and drafted some future all stars and HOF players. He had his share of mistakes, but is def one of the best GM's in Red Sox history.


text: Ok, who out there is a list-geek? Let me rephrase that, who out there is a knowledgeable, keen sort of type, who likes compiling lists? It's been so interesting reading through the posts here and realising just how comprehensive and extensive the roll call of great short story writers is – from famous exponents through people we normally think of as novelists to new writers just bursting on the scene. I think we should have our own lists, a sort of Shorty-pedia, that could build up over the year… maybe divided into Classic and Contemporary. What do you think? Any volunteers to get the ball rolling…?

Local Security Bug in GNU Emacs
A vulnerability in the extended text editor GNU Emacs gives local attackers the ability to run arbitrary code.
Developer Drake Wilson disclosed the vulnerability on the Debian Security mailing list. The error is caused by incorrect behavior of the "hack-local-variables" function if it is set to ":safe". The documentation for the function states that Emacs only runs variables that are declared as safe in this case, but this is not true: Emacs actually ignores the function and uses any local variable. An attacker could exploit this to modify the current user's init file and execute code by means of a carefully crafted Emacs Lisp file.
The bug affects Emacs version 22.1 and possibly others. The Emacs 22.1 package in the Debian Etch repository does not have the bug says another developer. A fix is available from the CVS repository. The vulnerability has been assigned CVE ID CVE-2007-5795. The GNU Emacs maintainer has been notified.

R-Flex Belt Repair Kit
R-Flex Belt Repair Kit is formulated to quickly repair tears, gouges, and holes in styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) heavy weight conveyor belts. Offering excellent abrasion resistance as well as superior adhesion, the R-Flex urethane compound is easy to mix and cures quickly — the repaired belt can be back in service just 90 minutes after application.
In addition to the R-Flex resin and curing agent, each kit includes a 2-part surface conditioner, a mix bucket, a wooden paddle, a scrub pad, gloves, paper towels, and a plastic spatula. R-Flex, which has a 2-year shelf life, mixes as liquid, and within 3-4 minutes becomes non-sagging, self-leveling putty. The mixture should be stirred with the wooden paddle. Working time is 7-9 minutes, and functional cure is 1.5 hours. The 4-lb. kit of R-Flex is enough to cover up to 440 square inches at a thickness of ¼ inch. The tough putty can also be used to protect hinged and solid plate fasteners (after adequate preparation).
Preparation of the belt surface starts with abrading and cleaning. Devcon Cleaner Blend 300 (sold separately) should be poured on and around the areas to be repaired, wiped with the scrub pad, and then wiped dry. After the area has been roughened with an abrasive grinding wheel to release contaminants and grit more cleaner blend should be applied and wiped off. Next, Devcon Surface Conditioner (included in the kit), which maximizes adhesion, must be mixed and then daubed thinly onto the repair area. The surface must dry a minimum of 3 minutes before applying product. The conditioner contains a fluorescence that allows for visual inspection of the prepped area before the R-Flex compound is applied with the spatula.

1 - Finally Back From the War
Welcome to The Crown Prince!
This weekly webcomic follows the adventures and misadventures of a King and a Queen as they face their most terrifying challenge yet: a new baby, namely the Crown Prince. Diapers, breastfeeding and sleepness nights await them in the coming weeks.
In this first strip, I wanted to introduce our two main characters in a way that told us a little something about their personalities but without sounding too much like an "introduction".

Sharing the Pain
We were taken away, in the
dead of night like cattle in cars, no air to breathe smothering,
crying, starving, dying. Separated from the world to be no more. From the
ashes, hear our plea. This atrocity to mankind can not happen again.
Remember us, for we were the children whose dreams and lives were stolen
away. (1)
On July 4, 2003 I was
touched by the holocaust. On that day, a day when most Americans were
celebrating independence and patriotism, my family and I were
commiserating pain and anguish. There are no words that can describe it
and nothing that can prepare you for it. I am speaking of Auschwitz, and
my unforgettable, life-changing experience.
During this fascinating trip we saw many interesting places such as Krakow, the salt mine, and the beautiful Polish countryside. One day my dad mentioned visiting Auschwitz and I really didn't think twice about it. I wasn't certain what this was going to be but I was eager to find out. In the parking lot I began to think about the theme parks and attractions I have visited in Florida. But here there was no admission charge. Later I realized that the value of this trip to me was priceless.
As we entered I suddenly realized that this visit would be unlike anything I had ever seen. There were train tracks and layers of barbed wire on an electrified fence. I looked at the gate and saw the phrase Arbeit Macht Frei with a backward "b". P.J. explained to me that the phrase meant "work is liberating" and the letter was done intentionally as a warning of the cruel untruth. The next haunting sign beckons you as follows: "You are entering a place of exceptional horror and tragedy. Please show your respect for those who suffered and died here, behaving in a manner suitable to the dignity of their memory."(2)
We entered several of the red brick barracks and began to share the stories of Auschwitz. A letter from a young girl to her brother touched me. She was unsure about her fate but sent her love and hoped to return home soon. It was her last letter. The walls of these museum areas contained pictures of prisoners.
Those that registered survived an average of two to three months. Each picture had the date the prisoner arrived and the date they died. Each one was a person, a soul, just like me.
I could see the anguish on P.j.'s face as he explained to me how the Nazis attempted to destroy the Polish people. Polish language was forbidden. Polish art and culture were obliterated. Churches and synagogues were destroyed. Many doctors, attorneys, professors, and clergymen were targeted. These atrocities were hidden from the world. I saw him begin to tear up so we continued on.
Next we saw a small brick building with a large smoke stack. I stood in a room where women, told to undress for a shower, instead choked to death on the Cyclon B gas that was pumped into the crowded room. Then I saw the hideous ovens where the bodies were burned. Suddenly I felt the eyes of a thousand souls looking at me. I heard "help me" and "save me." The sadness and despair of standing in a spot where millions were murdered began to affect me.
We proceeded to cell blocks 10 and 11, and saw the sign for the "Wall of Death." Here prisoners were shot to death. There were flowers placed at the base of the wall. Out of respect for those souls I remained silent. A tour guide that was speaking loudly in English bothered me. There was a torture pole where prisoners were hung with their arms tied behind their back. I began to feel the pain. I was horrified but fascinated and wanted to share the lives of those who had suffered and died here.
I could only think that I would have been one of those who threw themselves against the electric fence just to be free. But then I thought that would allow the Nazis to triumph, and we must never give up the fight against evil. I was horrified but fascinated and wanted to share the lives of those who had suffered and died here. It was a difficult experience for my mother so we soon left but I vowed to make a difference.
Evil continues to reopen a wound that
will not heal even after sixty years. A sixteen-year-old teen in Minnesota
killed nine people in a recent shooting rampage. He had posted messages on
a neo-Nazi web site expressing admiration for Adolph Hitler. He used the
nickname "Todesengel" or German angel of death.(3) Five neo-Nazis were
convicted of plotting to explode a bomb during the dedication of a new
Munich synagogue and Jewish community center in 2003.(4) In addition to
this, the Anti-Defamation League reports that
anti-semitic incidents in the United States are at their highest levels in
nine years. (5)
My goal is to share my experience with others. I have talked to German classes and American history classes. My friends and family are fascinated by my sad tale. I would love to tell my story to anyone who will listen. Those souls are with me now and they need my help. My only wish is that people who are filled with hatred could be forced to share the horror of the camp. If they could only share what I felt then maybe there could be some hope for them, to prevent a repeat of the grimmest chapter of history.

Local boys in our community benefit each year from the Bay County Sheriff's Office Wilderness Camp.
The camp is geared toward Bay County pre-teens and teens, and gives them a chance to enjoy the great outdoors, and learn from local law officials, building trusting relationships, and helping them with making the right choices.
This year's camps are over, but now it's time for the upcoming golf tournament to support the youth ranch.
NewsChannel 7 was joined by Officer Tim Cyr, who helps head up the camp, and Ruth Corley with the Bay County Sheriff's Office to talk about the upcoming golf tournament.
For more information on the camps and the golf tournament, you can contact the Bay County Sheriff's Office, 747-4700.

- "Wonderful! A nectar from the gods; a taste of sunshine and happiness. I knew you were the man for the job, m'boy!"
- —Horace Slughorn[src]
Party Punch is a drink. Horace Slughorn had Harry Potter make some for his Christmas party in 1996. It contained fresh fruit such as lemons, pineapple and strawberries and various juices which includes pumpkin juice. It was deemed wonderful by Slughorn.

The Phillies will start an 10-game homestand on Tuesday. At some point, they will find themselves with a lead in a close game going into the ninth inning. They will go to Jonathan Papelbon. His music will play and the bullpen door will open and he'll head out to the mound and go through his pre-pitch stare-down routine with various batters.
All of that will happen. What happens thereafter is less certain.
The season has barely begun and there is already an uneasy feeling when the Phils call on their closer. You watch and you wait and you wonder if he will get the job done or disintegrate. It is appointment viewing, even if it's also worrisome.
As Papelbon put it over the weekend, his performance as a closer has been "a roller-coaster ride. I liked Space Mountain as a kid, you know what I'm saying?"
Papelbon has had three outings. That is an admittedly small sample size. His results so far might mean nothing at all. Or they might forecast the future just as they remind us of his recent past.
In his first appearance, Papelbon threw 12 pitches, nine for strikes. He recorded one strikeout and three outs. The Phils beat the Rangers 14-10. It was a low-stress outing for him and everyone who witnessed it. Nothing much to see there. Move along. Which, when it comes to Papelbon, is just fine.
His second appearance, as everyone remembers, didn't go very well. Papelbon faced seven batters. He retired just one. He threw 21 pitches (12 for strikes). He allowed four hits and three earned runs. He blew the save by walking in the winning run. The Phils lost.
In his last outing, Papelbon faced three batters, had a strikeout, didn't allow a base runner and earned his first save of the season in a win over the Cubs.
Three outings. One forgettable. One unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. One somewhere closer to average.
The Cubs appearance had the desired result for the Phillies -– a 1-2-3 inning and a save for the closer who will make $13 million this season and next -– but it wasn't exactly an overwhelming demonstration of dominance for Papelbon. His best fastball registered at 91 mph that afternoon. It took him seven pitches to retire the first batter and 18 pitches to get out of the inning. And when he started off the third and final batter with a fastball, it hit just 88 mph. He left some pitches out over the plate. The Cubs missed them. It was a save for Papelbon, but it also represented quite a few missed opportunities for Chicago.
A lot has been made about Papelbon's velocity, and with good reason. According to fangraphs.com, Papelbon has averaged 90.5 mph on his fastballs this season. His minimum velocity is 88.2 mph, while his maximum velocity tops out at 92.2 mph. That represents a pretty big dip from just two yeas ago.
In 2012, Papelbon averaged 93.8 mph on his fastballs. He recorded 37.3 percent of his strikeouts that year with the pitch. Last season, Papelbon's average fastball was 92 mph and he got 27.5 percent of his strikeouts with the pitch.
Between 2007 and 2012, Papelbon averaged 11.2 strikeouts per nine innings. Last year, he averaged 8.3 and converted 81 percent of his save opportunities. Both of those were the worst marks of his career.
Papelbon is 33 years old. As with all pitchers, his velocity was bound to dip. The question is whether he can still be a quality closer without the ability to overwhelm hitters with heat.
"The longer and longer I pitch the more and more I learn, so sometimes I need to be a pitcher more than a thrower," Papelbon told reporters over the weekend. "I get into that mode sometimes of just going out there and trying to throw it by guys or throw a pitch without a certain intent. You know, as the season goes on, hopefully my velocity will be able to increase. I think everybody usually hits their peak around June. But right now I'm going to focus on just pitching."
What you have is a closer who knows his velocity is down, who cops to sometimes throwing a pitch "without a certain intent," and who hopes his velocity will somehow increase this season even though it's dipped each of the last few years. Decline and denial. That is not a good mix.

RESET SLAVE makes the slave
forget its replication position in the master's binary log. This
statement is meant to be used for a clean start: It deletes the
master.info and
relay-log.info files, all the relay log
files, and starts a new relay log file. To use
RESET SLAVE, the slave
replication threads must be stopped (use
STOP SLAVE if necessary).
All relay log files are deleted, even if they have not been
completely executed by the slave SQL thread. (This is a
condition likely to exist on a replication slave if you have
issued a
STOP SLAVE statement
or if the slave is highly loaded.)
Connection information stored in the
master.info file is immediately reset using
any values specified in the corresponding startup options. This
information includes values such as master host, master port,
master user, and master password. Options for which values are
not specified are cleared. If the slave SQL thread was in the
middle of replicating temporary tables when it was stopped, and
RESET SLAVE is issued, these
replicated temporary tables are deleted on the slave.

But there's lots of cool stuff, so buy something! It's for a good cause.
Another good cause: helping women get the birth control pills they've been prescribed. As you have probably heard, some pharmacists around the US have taken it upon themselves to refuse to fill prescriptions for BC pills, because they think contraception is morally wrong. This is bullshit. It's a legal prescription, and a pharmacist has no right to interfere with a medical decision made by a woman and her doctor.
Some pharmacy chains are not supporting a woman's right to choose to take The Pill. Target is one of them. So this site has started a photo petition to show Target the faces of people who won't be shopping there because of their failure to protect pharmacy customers from the interference of unethical pharmacists. I'll be sending them a picture. I hope you do too.

An example of how Max is so much nicer than I am…
Well, Max thinks, I'm standing in line behind you, obviously.
Her gaze alights on the logo on his t-shirt.
And she says, "'Thunder In The Mountains' – what's that?"
Now, as I said, Max is a much friendlier and kinder person than me. My response to being questioned like this - and yes, it's happened - is generally to fix the person with a cold eye and say, "I think you've got all the information I'm interested in sharing."
Or, if I'm really feeling pissy, "Why don't you explain to me just exactly why you think I should answer your questions?" I almost never talk to strangers in public places, and I very much resent having my thoughts intruded upon by rude people like this woman.
But Max said, "It's a conference in
She didn't take it. "I know that," she said in this very exasperated tone of voice, as if he were being just so tiresomely obtuse. "What kind of conference?"
Now, she'd be way into "it's none of your business" territory with me. But both Max and Roman have a sometime charming, sometimes alarming, willingness to come out to random strangers, if said random stranger asks enough questions. I will not do this. I think it's a gender thing.
So Max replied, "A rope bondage conference." (Technical note: yes, TITM is actually a BDSM con, not just a rope-bondage con. Max knows that. He just didn't feel it was a really crucial distinction to make at the moment.)
When Max was relating this story to me, I laughed out loud and said, "I can't believe you said that to her! What did she say then?"
"Her eyes got big," he replied. "And she just looked at me for a minute and then said, 'I gotta get out of this town. It is just way too weird here, I gotta get back to
Huh. I wonder if she knows about this….

More news on Heidi Fliess's plan to build an all-male brothel in
I'm struck by this quote from Fliess, though:
"I have heard from very wealthy, very beautiful women who say they'll be first in line..."
Very beautiful? Hmmm, why the insistence on the women's looks? If they're paying the boys, why does it matter? Just take some Viagra and get the job done, gentlemen.
No, I think Heidi is playing to the gigolo fantasy that a lot of boys have, sending them the message that they'd get paid to fuck women they found attractive anyway. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if she'd cooked up some scheme to make money off the would-be male prostitutes, perhaps charging them a very high "room and board" fee, or something like that. That's not uncommon in the industry – Lord knows the strip clubs right here in
I'll be watching to see if any ground ever gets broken on this, or if it just dwindles into smaller and smaller news items.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..
And that's always a weird time of year for me. I like Christmas, don't get me wrong. But I think I'd like it a lot better if the whole "holiday season" was about a week long. Maybe two weeks. But six plus weeks of being beaten over the head with it? Bah humbug. By the time December 25th actually rolls around, I'm over it.
Then there's the whole present thing. I like giving people I love presents. But in the past, I have sometimes had a hard time accepting them. I've gotten better at it, but still, I have to remind myself from time to time that people give gifts because it honestly gives them pleasure to do so, and I don't have to put pressure on myself to instantly reciprocate in some way, just because I think I need to keep some invisible set of scales neatly balanced. I know if I give someone something, it's just because I think they'd like it and I enjoy the act of giving it to them and seeing them be happy about it. But that's been something I've had to learn to trust in others.
All that said, I do have some very sweet and generous boys who have asked me for a Christmas gift list. So, okay, here goes.
Books are always good. Here's some stuff off my Amazon list I'd like to read over the holidays:
Marriage, a History: From Obedience to Intimacy, or How Love Conquered Marriage by Stephanie Coontz
The Girl in the Glass : A Novel, by Jeffrey Ford
The Virgin's Lover, by Philippa Gregory
A Breath of Snow and Ashes, by Diana Gabaldon
The Kinky Girl's Guide to Dating, by Luna Grey
Polyamory: Roadmaps for the Clueless & Hopeful, by Anthony D. Ravenscroft
Something more personal? Well, I love this bracelet. (Of course this is nice, too, but it seems a bit excessive. I don't really move in a diamond-wearing crowd.)
I am also lusting after this jacket. This coat is pretty as well, although I've never worn such a long coat. But it looks warm, and I am a girl who's often wearing skimpy little outfits when it's cold outside. I'd have to have it in black, of course.
Boots. I love pretty boots. Love 'em. Size 8.5, if anyone's wondering.
Then there's kinky stuff. It's great when people bring me naughty things, because my rule is: you bring it to me, you're asking me to use it on you. Heh.
I do seriously want this sling. And while I have one fucking machine, this one looks uber-cool.
I could play some wickedly fun games with this little device, too.
Geek stuff? Gee, Santa, I want a laptop. Do the elves makes those? I also want one of these, although I'm still researching brands and models.
Of course, I'm not sure exactly how good of a girl I've been this year, but we'll see what the guy in the red suit does for me. Hey, even if he puts switches in my stocking, I'm sure I can think of something fun to do with them.

There must be more to this senseless killing. Those Rabbis who pocket millions of dollars from extremely fragile Jews are an insult to our Jewish tradition. They sell advices,benedictions and cures for a hefty sum of money. Now what's the real motives behind the killer's minds? Was he a victim of a scam artist? Did he retaliate in revenge for an ill advise? NO, I do not condone murder . He should have taken his problems to court and expose once and for all the abuses of these Rabbis, Pinto, Abuheitzira and the likes. Charlatans using religion and the name of their forefathers to enrich themselves at the expenses of the poorest of the poor and the most vulnerable people.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'
- Bob Dylan
The times were rapidly changing when Bob Dylan authored those lyrics 50 years ago. The leaders of the civil rights movement were demanding an end to the long accepted injustice that relegated people to second-class citizenship because of the tint of their skin, risking and sometimes giving their lives for the cause.
In the 1960s the younger generation would challenge many of the precepts of their parents and grandparents - that America's wars were to be supported right or wrong, that women had to keep their place, that material acquisitions in a suburban home were the measure of success.
In June 1969, as that tumultuous decade ended, a series of violent demonstrations against police raids on gay bars in Greenwich Village, New York City - the Stonewall Riots - marked one of the first times homosexuals outwardly challenged a legal system that sanctioned their persecution.
The times, of course, are always changing, and not always for the better. The counter-culture movement of the 1960s embraced drug use, and ultimately abuse, ruining many lives. Criticism of a war led to a hurtful and misguided condemnation of those obligated to fight it by law or sense of duty. For most young people, the rejection of materialism proved fleeting and not terribly practical.
But the aspiration toward a society that treats people equally and with equal opportunity is a change that has endured. A photo published Tuesday by The Day of a routine though wonderful event long part of the culture of southeastern Connecticut - the return of a submarine after a long tour of duty - was a reminder that the times are again changing and in ways some "can't understand."
The photo, also the subject of the opening of the news story, was familiar - a sailor on bended knee surprising his beloved with a dockside proposal upon returning ashore. But there was a difference; the sailor and the object of his ardor were both men.
It was a scene once unimaginable, but then, so too was the prospect of racially integrated military units. Two years ago Congress ended the duplicitous "don't ask, don't tell" policy that allowed homosexuals to serve their nation and risk their lives, but only if they kept a major part of their identity secret.
This is the far better way.
The photo - provided by a U.S. Navy photographer - jolted some of our readers. Using the reader comments tool on theday.com, a reader, identified as "Chuck," commented on an earlier version of the story, one with no reference to the photo of the proposal. It instead carried a more traditional illustration of a baby running into a dad's arms.
"I just wish every kid from middle school through the 12 grade could see what the benefits are for bearing down in school and keeping their noses clean. You young men are the best there is. Welcome home and a job well done," he wrote.
Chuck was aghast when his comments remained as the story was updated, with the photo of a man proposing to a man.
"It went from a good story about a ship returning to homeport from deployment to another politically motivated Gay agenda story," wrote Chuck, demanding an apology from theday.com for having kept his comments up with the revised coverage.
This news organization's only agenda is to reflect a changing society, one that still welcomes home young men who are the best there is and acknowledges their job well done, but no longer demands they hide who they are.
Expect more changes, Chuck. The Navy is moving ahead with its plan to integrate enlisted women into the submarine service. Female officers are reporting for duty aboard the large, ballistic-missile submarines. By 2015 the Navy expects to assign women officers to attack submarines, the kind stationed at the Groton base.
Anticipate more welcome-home photos not seen before, reflecting change for the better.

Should [Democrats] have tried to push through a major new economic program during that narrow window [when they briefly had 60 Senate votes]? In retrospect, yes — but that doesn't change the reality that for most of Mr. Obama's time in office U.S. fiscal policy has been defined not by the president's plans but by Republican stonewalling.
The most important consequence of that stonewalling, I'd argue, has been the failure to extend much-needed aid to state and local governments. Lacking that aid, these governments have been forced to lay off hundreds of thousands of schoolteachers and other workers, and those layoffs are a major reason the job numbers have been disappointing. Since bottoming out a year after Mr. Obama took office, private-sector employment has risen by 4.6 million; but government employment, which normally rises more or less in line with population growth, has instead fallen by 571,000.
Thomas B. Edsall wonders why Team Obama and the Democrats haven't capitalized on the key vote-killer in their opponents' playbook:
What people have not been talking about enough is that the Ryan budget contains an $ 897 billion sinkhole: massive but unexplained cuts in such discretionary domestic programs as education, food and drug inspection, workplace safety, environmental protection and law enforcement.
The scope of the cuts—stunning in their breadth—is hidden.
Jeffrey Sachs, one-time economic "shock therapist" says both the Republicans and Democrats got it wrong on the economy:
The scary truth is that Obama's budget plans call for a continuing cut of civilian government programs relative to GDP through 2021. If Romney is elected, taxes will be gutted further, so that spending cuts will be far deeper, enough to cripple the economy and create massive social unrest.
A true recovery should be investment led rather than consumption led. We need long-term investments in human capital (skills) and in key infrastructure such as low-carbon energy systems, smart grids for cities, cutting-edge information and management systems for low-cost integrated healthcare delivery, and inter-city fast rail. These investments are inevitably a mix of private investments and public investments, with the mix differing according to the sector in question.
Just saw John Sununu, one of Republicans' favorite Bushie junk yard attack dogs all up in arms about the debt subject to the limit (the so-called national debt) reaching $ 16 Trillion dollars, and going on to tell people that every man, woman, and child in the United States now owes $ 50,000 to pay that debt off. Now, I'm here to tell you that all that is bull shit.
Eliot Spitzer says he was left a bit empty by President Obama's end-of-convention speech in Charlotte because there was no specific economic plan despite the still battered economy:
The singular success of the Obama administration on the economic front was the auto bailout and accompanying reform package. The lesson from it should be that bold investments can pay off: The political courage to go big will get the president re-elected, and saved an entire sector of our economy.
We need more of those grand bets, not fewer. The crisis of 2008 may have been stopped, but the trends of declining middle-class incomes and a shrinking workforce have not.
Mark Hertsgaard was glad to hear President Obama use the "C" word at the Democratic convention, "climate change," that is:
"It is nothing short of terrifying to imagine a party that openly mocks climate change taking back the White House," the Obama campaign fired back via email. True enough. But the president's own statements, before last night, have not been terribly reassuring either, if only because there have been so few of them. Ever since his cap-and-trade legislation crashed and burned under intense Republican fire in 2010, Obama has avoided the term climate change in public.
So does his convention speech signal that Obama will now champion the climate fight? Or was he merely punching back at Romney and telling the Democratic base what they wanted to hear?
Michael Moore explains why two words, "President Romney" should scare everyone into action this election:
Trust me, if [Republicans] believed that America was a right-wing country they'd be passing laws making it so easy to vote you could do it in the checkout line at Walmart.
But the voting on November 6th will not take place at Walmart or on any potato's couch. It can only happen by going to a polling place — and, not to state the obvious, the side that gets the most people physically out to the polls that day, wins. We know the Republicans are spending tens of millions of dollars to make sure this very thing happens. They have built a colossal get-out-the-vote machine for election day, and the sheer force of their tsunami of hate stands ready to overwhelm us like nothing we've ever seen before. Those of us in the Midwest got a taste of it in 2008. Traditionally Democratic states — all of which voted for Obama — saw our state legislatures and governor seats hijacked by this well-oiled machine. We didn't know what hit us, but these new Republicans wasted no time in dismantling some of the very basic thing we hold dear. Wisconsin fought back — but even that huge grassroots uprising was not enough to stop the governor bought and paid for by the Koch brothers. It was a wake up call, for sure — but have we really woken up?
Mitt Megaphone Jennifer Rubin says the Democratic Convention was "nothing else but the interest group beg-a-thon."
E.J. Dionne sees the advantage out of both party conventions to Barack Obama:
Still, money does buy Romney additional options. The Republicans will have extra dollars to use in trying to make states currently solid or leaning to Obama — Wisconsin, and perhaps Michigan — more competitive. Obama can't afford to be sucked into contests in states he should be able to count on.
Jonathan Zimmerman may be unaware that the GOP's presidential candidate can change his mind from one bite of lunch to the next:
Mitt Romney has put forth a [voucher] plan that could completely transform the way Americans organize and fund public schools. And that's why it has little chance of being implemented any time soon. [...]
For the first time, a major political candidate has suggested that kids in a poor public school district should be allowed to enroll in a wealthier one.
That would represent real and fundamental change, of a kind that we've never seen.

But don't worry. No one was actually in danger. It was all a part of an elaborate prank made possible by LG's IPS Monitors.
The floors were actually 9 LG IPS monitors placed together to simulate the terrifying experience
There is no doubt these people were fooled.
They needed to double-check to make sure that the floors were in fact display monitors.
