Many people have their own fishmongers and butchers, and now, with the opening of the Taylor Shellfish store at Melrose Market, Seattle now has its own resident oyster guy. Kevin Bartlett, manager of the Seattle store, spent his childhood fishing and eating shellfish out of the Puget Sound. He beat out a likely large group of applicants to head Taylor's Seattle store. Since then, his time at Taylor has been an ongoing education. Whether it's flash cards, challenging inquiries from oyster connoisseurs, or a friendly competition with his assistant manager, Bartlett is always working to sharpen his oyster knowledge as he turns a lifelong hobby into a full-fledged career.
Photo by Tiffany Ran
I actually used to work with Homegrown. I started with Ben [Friedman] and Brad [Gillis] when they first started in Fremont. I worked for them for a few years. Then, when I saw that Taylor [Shellfish] was moving in here and they wanted to bring someone from this area in to manage it, I applied for the job along with probably 500 other people. I did about four of five interviews where [for] some of them, I went to Shelton. They were looking for someone who could manage a store for one, but then, they were also looking for someone that was interested in what Taylor does, which is shellfish in general.
I told them that this was all stuff that I used to do as a hobby. My Dad used to take me out on the Puget Sound fishing, clamming, [and] taking oysters from some of his friends' [shellfish] beds. We've been doing that basically my whole life so basically it was an amazing opportunity to turn a hobby into my career.
Since you weren't working in the shellfish industry beforehand, was it crazy to just be thrown into this?
Absolutely. Even when they hired me, they were all like, "We're hiring you because we know that we can teach you all this stuff." They did kind of a crash course with me in which they took me out to the farms and I got to meet all the farmers. I did a lot of public outreach stuff. I went with Nicole Hopper, who does a lot of the outreach. I'd go to a few junior high schools and talked to the students about shellfish. We did a couple of things where we took first graders out to the farm and let them wander around while we try to teach them not only about what we're doing there, but why it's important to take care of the Puget Sound, the preservation of it. They threw me into a lot of that.
Basically, the biggest help was that I was observing Marco Pinchot, who does the traveling oyster bar. [I was] going with him to these events and listening to him talk to people, just leaning from him. Me and my assistant manager -- we got hired at the same time -- even now, we would challenge each other to who can learn more about a certain species and we would type out notes for each other.
Do return to the oyster farms often?
Since I'm [at the store] 99 percent of my life, [I go] probably once a month. I still go down to Shelton probably once every two months. Any time I hire people and it looks like they're going to work out, I'll make sure I take them down to the farm and let them see how much work that is. Then, I'll take them to Shelton where after stuff gets pulled out from the farms, it gets sent out to Shelton where it gets cleaned and sorted. I love to show them [the process] from beginning to end. When it shows up in a box, it didn't just grow out of a box. Many oysters take four or five oysters to reach this size. It's a lot of blood, sweat, and tears for those oysters to get here, and having every single one of my staff know how important each and every step of this is a very big deal for me.
Have you had any interesting experiences converting oyster virgins?
I'll say the vast majority of oyster virgins that I give oysters to really, really enjoy them. I did work at a winter beer festival that I brought my oyster bar to and we had a line of people the entire time. This young girl came up. I think she was about 22. It was a little bit into the event. I think she had already had quite a few beers. She came up and she wanted to try oysters for the first time. She tried to eat it and then instantly hit the deck. I had these buckets down there for shells, and she just hugged on these buckets for about five minutes. And here's the thing, she stood up [afterwards] and was like, "Hah, alright, let's try that again." She actually ate a second oyster and loved it that second time. That's amazing! I bought her that second one.
On the flip side, do you have those who come in with substantial knowledge about oysters and environmental factors that affect them, and pressing you on those issues?
I can really talk on these topics for a long time, so I love it when people do that. It's also really fun to me. Sometimes you get people who do know a bit about it, and they are almost kind of challenging me. For me it's like, "Yeah, let's do this!"
A little off topic, but can you explain the elaborate tattoos on your arm?
These are Scandinavian art movements from 900 to the 1100, which is the Viking era. What I love about them is that you can see their art change. They would go to English, France, Ireland and their art changes and reflects kind of the areas they go into. It's always kind of the animal and the common struggle. This one (points to his arm) is a sea creature wrestling with these other two sea creatures. This one is of elks that look to be wresting with each other. I basically got that because that is my heritage. When I was 18, was the first time I've ever been to Norway.
What's your favorite oyster and your favorite way of eating oysters?
What I love about oysters is that the flavors really change with time. You'll have oysters where the oyster will be take on different flavors the following week. It ultimately is back and forth between Shigokus and Virginicas. Shigokus are some of the best, but during the winter like around January, the Olympias, which is our native ouster, are amazing.
I like to just eat them raw, just straight up. I grew up barbecuing them. I haven't really eaten a lot of them raw until I started here. I started getting into them just raw, and really getting into them through breaking down the flavor profiles and treating them like wines. That being said, I'm not particularly a huge purist about it to where I'd give other people shit about how to eat them. As long as you're eating oysters, then that's good!

Some background info on my financial situation is, I'm only 20 years old. Before I found out, I was about to start school, but I had to withdraw from my class because I needed to work. I live with my boyfriend of 6 years. He is 23 and works 2 jobs. 12 hours a day 7 days a week. They only pay 10 dollars an hour at both. When I was 16 weeks I was diagnosed with placenta previa, and I was put on bed rest. I had to quit my job because it was an on your feet all day job, and they weren't being too nice about the pregnancy. It was beginning to be a huge hassle. At the time my boyfriend and I had roommates, so our rent plus bills was only about 650 a month, so we were doing fine. Now I'm 27 weeks, still can't work because I developed SPD in my hips, and it is very painful. My new doctor is only in it for the money it seems, and charges me for stupid things. I have blue cross blue shield, and at first it was great, but then I found out that after the 2,000 I already paid this year for deductible and out of pocket, I will have to pay it again in January because she won't be here till February. I just don't have that kind of money. My new doctor is also charging me 650 for the birth, and won't set up a payment plan. I could pay it if I had time to save, but they told me at my first appt 2 weeks ago that I would have to pay it by my next appt. There's no way I can scrape that kinda cash together and still afford bills and groceries! We had to move because our lease was up and we couldn't find rommates that wanted to live with a newborn baby, so we had to find a small duplex with cheap rent. Its 700 a month, but then we have electricity, and water to pay for, plus groceries.
I am living penny to penny right now until my boyfriend finishes school and gets a good paying job. Normally I wouldn't go for govt help, because I think there are others that need it more than me, but I just don't see any other way. Any experienced mamas out there have any advice?? I would seriously appreciate it!!

6:15 – 8 p.m.
Three leading authors have offered the IIE Annual Conference the opportunity to organize a book signing event during the Sunday Welcome Reception. They will be pleased to sign their most recent works on Creating a Lean and Green Business System: Techniques for Improving Profits and Sustainability' by Keivan Zokaei, Hunter Lovins, Andy Wood and Peter Hines; Design for Six Sigma in Product and Service Development: Applications and Case Studies by Beth Cudney and Sandra Furterer and Enterprise Growth Strategy - Vision, Planning and Execution by Dhirendra Kumar. Be one of the first to receive a personalized copy of these recommended works!
This book signing event is brought to you by the Society for Engineering Management Systems (SEMS).
Creating a Lean and Green Business SystemAuthor: Keivan Zokaei, Hunter Lovins, Andy Wood, and Peter HinesPublisher: CRC Press
Creating a Lean and Green Business System is packed with case studies and examples of companies going lean and green simultaneously. The book reminds us that there's so much more to 'lean' than simply cutting waste and reducing costs to protect the bottom line. Indeed, the authors suggest that those companies that obsess about waste and cost reduction, to the exclusion of all else, will never secure the profound cultural changes on which true success increasingly depends. Numerous "firsthand" examples from companies such as Toyota, Marks and Spencer, MAS, Tesco, Wal-Mart, Adams and many more are provided which illustrate that being lean and truly green is not just about saving money, but about continuous value enhancement for the whole of society. At a time when many organizations seem to be void of systematic methods for continuous and profitable green improvements, the authors put forward practical guidelines for organizations to design their lean and green journey to eliminate wastes and to generate sustainable value while becoming ever more profitable. Case studies are used to shed light on the key aspects of lean and green from strategy to operations and from people engagement to supply chain management. The authors also provide an up to date overview of Toyota's latest achievements: becoming green by putting into practice the mantra of Monozukuri. Each case study is underpinned by a great deal of research and include an up to date environmental benchmark of the auto sector.
Creating a Lean and Green Business System has a framework, an overview of tools and techniques, and many case studies showing how companies can, not only, reduce environmental footprints, but also improve service to customers and reduce costs at the same time. Today, far too many environmental management systems and green interventions are skewed in the direction of one-off technical fixes, end of pipe solutions involving limited number of people and scattered improvements which hardly leave a lasting cultural change. This is a book about how to change that all together in favor of profitable and sustainable change.
Enterprise Growth Strategy - Vision, Planning and ExecutionAuthor: Dhirendra KumarPublisher: Gower
Enterprise Growth Strategy presents the total process of a growth strategy. Dr. Kumar is an engineer who entered the academic world following a long career in manufacturing business and has since taught almost every aspect of business and management. The "growth strategy" concept he has developed is comprehensive and manifestly practical.
Dr. Kumar describes mechanisms by which businesses can gain market share; develop, modify, or upgrade products; acquire new or expand existing businesses; transform resources to increase revenue and profitability; reduce cycle time; and empower business associates. Quality concepts – market growth, financial and core competency – are outlined and a variety of growth strategy tools presented. The relationship between continuous improvement metrics and business growth metrics is explained and their relevance to financial performance examined. Examples and case studies are presented to illustrate how different business areas such as sales and marketing; product development; operations; support services; and the finance function, contribute. Leadership responsibilities, employee participation in the execution of growth strategy, culture and change issues are also discussed.
Business leaders, managers and consultants, academics and teachers, as well as higher level students on business-related courses will find enormous value in this book. It is unusual, if not unique, in presenting the total process from vision to mission, to development of a growth strategy, implementation of initiatives, use of tools, and measurement of both operational and financial outcomes.
Design for Six Sigma in Product and Service Development: Applications and Case StudiesEditor(s): Elizabeth A. Cudney and Sandra L. FurtererPublisher: CRC Press
Real-world examples and hands-on experience are invaluable resources when learning how to use new methods and tools, whether in training or in a classroom. Yet there are very few books on design for Six Sigma (DFSS) that provide the practical knowledge required to be up and running quickly. Until now. Design for Six Sigma in Product and Service Development: Applications and Case Studies provides step-by-step analysis and practical guidance on how to apply DFSS in product and service development.
The book discusses the DFSS roadmap and how it is linked to methodologies, including organizational leadership, product development, system integration, critical parameter management, voice of the customer, quality function deployment, and concept generation. The chapter authors provide real-world case studies that demonstrate how the application of DFSS has significantly improved meeting customer requirements. They follow the Identify-Define-Design-Optimize-Validate (IDDOV) structure for new product or service development. Examples of tools covered include quality function deployment, voice of the customer, Pugh concept selection, ideal function, failure modes and effects analysis, reliability, measurement systems analysis, regression analysis, and capability studies, among others.
Clearly outlining the tools and how to integrate them for robust product and service design, the case studies can be used by industry professionals and academics to learn how to apply DFSS. The book gives you hands-on experience in a safe environment, where experienced Black Belts and Master Black Belts act as mentors and prepare you to touch actual data and make decisions when embarking on real-world projects. Even after you've mastered the techniques, the breadth and depth of coverage contained in this book will make it a vital part of your toolkit.
Using Hoshin Kanri to Improve the Value StreamAuthor: Elizabeth A. CudneyPublisher: Productivity Press
In Using Hoshin Kanri to Improve the Value Stream, leading lean and quality expert Elizabeth Cudney constructs a complete how-to guide that any organization can employ to start a Lean effort correctly and keep it on track. Rooted in practical examples garnered over years of hand-on practice, she illustrates the key principles of lean and value, and then shows you how to put them to work.
Cudney points out that organizations often fail at improvement because they go after symptomatic problems rather than the faulty system-wide processes at the root of those problems. She shows you how to avoid this common misstep by using value stream mapping to create a current-state map. Done properly, this map will help everyone in your organization come to understand just how they deliver value to customers and where flawed processes cause them to fall short.
The next step is to create a future-state map that defines best processes. While that may seem easy, reaching the goals of future-state maps requires a highly disciplined effort. At this point, Hoshin Kanri -- the art of policy deployment – can make a crucial impact. Hoshin Kanri encourages a systems approach that focuses on the long-term strategy of an organization. As much as defining a methodology, it inspires a positive mindset within your organization by starting with improvements that affect flow across the entire organization. In addition to improving the delivery of value, changes with broad impact will catch people's attention, encourage their involvement and increase the momentum of improvement.
Chapter by chapter, this book defines the key tools, such as Six Sigma, 5S, and mistake proofing, that your organization can employ to initiate needed process improvements.
Implementing Lean Six Sigma throughout the Supply Chain: The Comprehensive and Transparent Case StudyAuthors: Elizabeth A. Cudney and Rodney KestlePublisher: Productivity PressExplanations of theory, lists of rules, and discussions of procedure are the basis of learning the lean Six Sigma, however without a visceral understanding of the application of this powerful system in various circumstances the knowledge remains, at best, conjecture. Detailed examination of case studies that take real-world variables into account is the only way to truly master Lean Six Sigma.Providing a comprehensive Lean Six Sigma case study from start to finish, Implementing Lean Six Sigma throughout the Supply Chain: The Comprehensive and Transparent Case Study employs the Define—Measure—Analyze—Improve—Control (DMAIC) process used in today's retail industry.Going far beyond the brief overview found in current texts, this interactive case study presents all of the data used by a team as they implement Lean Six Sigma in a distribution center. It details their decision-making rational, thus allowing the reader to extrapolate and implement the same analyses and conclusions in their own settings.An interactive CD accompanies the book and contains all of the numerous graphs, charts, tables, and data analyses provided in the text. It provides PowerPoint training slides and easily accessible data sets that correspond to the figures in the book, as well as a full Glossary and reference guide to commonly used Lean and Six Sigma terms.Providing a clear link between all of the Lean Six Sigma tools and their application in a real-world setting, indispensable training tool gives the all-important, rubber-meets-the-road understanding needed to start you on your Lean Six Sigma journey.

Isolation of a homogeneous population of hESC-derived ventricular cardiomyocytes
One of the obstacles to pharmaceutical and clinical applications of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived cardiomyocytes is insufficient purity of these cells. Our proposed research to identify a pure population of hESC-derived ventricular cardiomyocytes will provide a solution to this obstacle: 1) hESC-derived cardiomyocytes could potentially be transplanted to replace heart muscle cells lost or damaged to cardiovascular disease such as heart attack, which is the leading cause of death in the united states and other developed countries. Present cardiac differentiation protocols induce a heterogeneous population of cardiomyocytes including ventricular, nodal and atrial subtypes, which co-exist with other undefined cell lineages and/or undifferentiated cells. Transplantation of undifferentiated cells poses the risk of tumorigenisis, while a mixed population of different subtypes may cause cardiac arrhythmias. A pure population of chamber-specific cells such as ventricular cardiomyocytes will provide safer testing of in vivo cell replacement therapy. 2) A pure population of hESC-derived ventricular cardiomyocytes could be used to develop in vitro cardiac disease models, such as cardiac hypertrophy, to assist in finding relevant cures. 3) Understanding of the molecular basis for cardiac differentiation, growth and maturation by studying the development of these cells may lead to novel approaches to regenerate damaged heart tissues by in situ induction of cardiomyocyte proliferation and/or differentiation of adult cardiac progenitor cells. 4) Pure populations of hESC-derived cardiomyocytes may provide accurate prediction of pharmaceutical drug cardiac safety. Pharmaceutical agents unintended for cardiac diseases may interfere with the normal function of ion channels on heart cells, leading to increased risks of cardiac arryhthmia and sudden death. Compared to current cell models used in cardiac toxicity test such as animal heart cells, these cells bear closer resemblance to human cardiac cells and therefore may offer greater sensitivity and specificity. In summary, our proposed research will greatly facilitate the development of applications using hESC-derived cardiomyocytes..
Our research goal is to use innovative strategies to identify a pure population of hESC-derived ventricular cardiomyocytes. The state of California and its citizens will benefit from the outcomes of this research through its roles in facilitating the development of cardiac disease therapy and improving cardiac toxicity test of pharmaceutical drugs. In addition, our research will engage both interested graduate and undergraduate students and help reach out to the broad base of students in our teaching-oriented institute, who might otherwise have no direct opportunity to learn about the significance and progress of stem cell research. This is important considering that as they become a main stream work force post graduation, they may have direct or indirect influence on the government's policy in related to stem cell research on a national level.

Does anyone know how I can paste a MS Word table into a post?
All of the options I've tried leave me with an unformatted table.
Does anyone know how I can paste a MS Word table into a post?
All of the options I've tried leave me with an unformatted table.
This is also my experience. There is nothing wrong with the tables, it is just that they look very plain in wordpress. I guess there is no support for shading the backgound color or changing the size of the cells.
code that word uses is just that -- code that word uses. Its NOT code that is meant to be used on the web and viewed by standards compliant browsers.
OK, I understand what you say 'whooami', but what if you want to have a table in wordpress that looks 'nice', in the sense that you control the background color of the cells and the size of the rows?
than you use HTML, just like you would were you creating any content that was intended for the web.
Thanks whooami that solves it!
To others that might need this help: Here is a like that describes how to write HTML directly in the blog. It works with a bit of tweak you can get the table to look like you want.
It would probably also be possible to define a tabel template in CSS, but that is too advanced for me.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study by pharmacy benefit manager Prime Therapeutics (Prime), in collaboration with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, found that the recent dramatic increase in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) specialty drug costs has resulted in the drug costs now accounting for more than two-thirds of the patients total cost of care. While many with MS have seen improved quality of life as a result of drug therapy, unfortunately these MS specialty drug cost increases were not associated with MS medical costs declining. These study findings will be presented today at the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy's 2012 Educational Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio.
According to the study, the average individual annual MS specialty drug cost was $28,152 and all other health care costs were $13,608 in 2010. The price for MS self-injectable specialty drugs has increased 16.3% to 22.6% each year from 2008 to present, calculated using the compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Assuming the same inflationary MS specialty drug price increases, within four years, the average annual cost for a MS specialty drug will exceed $50,000.

The lessons of Chuck Noll
Updated: January 22, 2009, 8:28 PM ETBy Elizabeth Merrill | ESPN.com
LATROBE, Pa. -- There is nothing fancy about where the name went. At least it's spelled right. The words "Chuck Noll Field" hang neatly over a brick press box, two stories above the grass at Saint Vincent College. Noll would be happy about its simplicity. Twenty-three years in one job, and people in Pittsburgh still spell Noll's name with a "K." Maybe he never noticed. Chances are he didn't care.
Sometimes late in the summer, when the newbies arrive at Saint Vincent for the start of practice, ...

The press for the King County Sheriff's Office hasn't been great lately. The agency recently found itself the subject of two negative reports - one from the King County Auditor and one from the King County Office of Law Enforcement Oversight - calling into question its handling of use or force reviews as well as internal complaints and complaints from citizens.
*See also: Man Allegedly Goes Berserk at Bowling Alley After Employee Refuses to Let Him Sing Karaoke on PA System
Now three female detectives with the King County Sheriff's Sexual Assault Unit have come after the county, "alleging they were victims of rampant acts of sexual harassment and verbal abuse under three sergeants over many years," according to the Seattle Times - which reports the detectives have "filed up to $9 million in claims against the county."
The detectives who filed the claims - Marylisa Prebe-Olson, Janette Luitgaarden, and Belinda Ferguson - contend that Chief Deputy Dave Jutilla (while a sergeant), along with current sergeants Tony Provenzo and Paul Mahlum were responsible for creating a "toxic, degrading and humiliating" working environment in which they were the constant target of sexually crude comments and demeaning treatment - including being unfairly berated in front of peers and even spit on. As the Times notes, the claims comes as a possible prelude to a full-on lawsuit, with the county now having 60 days from the time the claims were filed (Aug. 21) to reach a settlement with the detectives before things head down that road.
According to the Times:
The claims, which each seek between $1.5 million and $3 million, allege that Jutilla, while sergeant, and two current sergeants, Tony Provenzo and Paul Mahlum, were responsible for allowing or tolerating sexual and gender harassment in the Sexual Assault Unit at the Regional Justice Center in Kent.
And ...
Fergusson was the target of harassment for 8 ½ years while working for Provenzo and Mahlum, according to her claim.
She alleges Provenzo yelled, screamed and spit on her; discussed the size of her breasts; directed other detectives to walk by to look at her breasts; and singled her out for criticism in front of peers.
In their claims, Prebe-Olson and Luitgaarden make similarly disturbing allegations.
As to why Prebe-Olson, Luitgaarden, and Ferguson chose to come forward now, after enduring the treatment for so many years, Julie Kays, the Tacoma-based attorney representing the detectives, tells the Times the three recently reached a breaking point, and decided to take action to protect other women within the Sheriff's office.
Kays also tells the Times that the timing of the claims is unrelated to King County Sheriff Steve Strachan's election bid.

20days missed period negative urine test & negative transabdominal ultrasound
Comments (3)
Probably just something hormonal going on, unrelated to pregnancy. Do you have PCOS?
I'd call and ask for provera to start my period.

Actually she could be. And depending on the type of test means she could get a false negative.
OP, when you see your doc next ask for I believe its call a Quantative blood test. It'll tell you how much Hcg is in your system. If its above 3-5 then you are actually pregnant.
And the type of ultrasound that was done was incorrect. If you are in fact pregnant they're not gonna pick up anything on a abdominal US. They need to give you a transvaginal one if they're gonna see anything.
And I wouldnt take the antibiotics either if your urine came back clear. And of course you know to drink more water if they're saying you're dehydrated.
Also, you may be getting negaties on the urine tests because you might not be following the directions correctly. I'd get another test and read the directions all the way through and try again.
I hope that helps!

It's seem like Wheatley from Portal 2 had a way to transform himself a portal that sends him to Chell and apologize her.
The shape of the center made me think of the Space core from Portal 2. But nonetheless, a great-looking scene.

text: Chantelle Response: Hi Rebecca! Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. We're sorry to hear that the lace and shape of the cups of our 3086 weren't fitting the way you would have liked. We have two suggestions for you: If you like the silhouette of 3086, but would like a more natural cup shape, we think you would love "Mademoiselle" (style 1162) and "Vous et Moi" (style 2126), has ultra smooth memory foam cups that form to your bust from your body heat, giving you a custom fit with every wear. Our other suggestion is our fabulous bra called "Parisian Demi" (style 1476), which has a similar look to 3086, but the lace on the top of the cups is shorter, which causes it to lay nice and flat against the body. All three of these great styles suggested come in your 30F size. We hope this helps!

2012's Top 10 Country Albums
This year's swath of country albums were a diverse collection of contemporary pop, new rough-edged sounds and throwbacks to the genre's roots. Mega releases from the biggest stars filled country radio and vied with underrated albums from new artists and legends. All this made picking a list of the Top 10 albums difficult in spots (I hated having to leave off Lee Brice's "Hard 2 Love") and easy in others (Dwight Yoakam was an obvious number one).

Milwaukee band Revomatics re-create '60s surfer music
Like Carly Rae Jepsen and Robin Thicke, the Revomatics' sound is strongly affiliated with summer. But in the Revomatics' case, it's the sound of summer from 50 years ago.
"Surf music is the punk rock of the early 1960s," said bassist Peter Flessas of the local surf-rock band. "It was dynamic music, but it was all instrumental, and you didn't have to have a big budget. It enabled young musicians to get their music out there." »Read Full Article(2)

A Day for Detroit: U.S. critics celebrate an imperiled art collection
People do not give works of art to museums. Donors of great works of art give their treasurers to the cities they love, to the school children on yellow buses, the couples on dates, the artists and would-be artists, the seniors on a Sunday afternoon.
In a very real sense, the art in our museums belongs to us. It is a public trust. This simple truth is at the core of a foundational ethic within the museum world that prohibits museums from selling works of art to pay off debts. »Read Full Blog Post(4)

Oligarchy in the U.S.A
Winters, Jeffrey A., In These Times
IN 2005, CITIGROUP OFFERED ITS high net-worth clients in the United States a concise statement of the threats they and their money faced.
The report told them they were the leaders of a "plutonomy," an economy driven by the spending of its ultra-rich citizens. "At the heart of plutonomy is income inequality" which is made possible by "capitalist-friendly governments and tax regimes."
The danger, according to Citigroups analysts, is that "personal taxation rates could rise- dividends, capital gains, and inheritance taxes would hurt the plutonomy."
But the ultra-rich already knew that. In fact, even as America's income distribution has skewed to favor the upper classes, the very richest have successfully managed to reduce their overall tax burden. Look no further than Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney, who in 2010 paid 13.9 percent of his $21.6 million income iu taxes that year, the same tax rate as an individual who earned a mere $8,500 to $34,500.
How is that possible? How can a country make so much progress toward equality on other fronts- race, gender, sexual orientation and disability- but run the opposite way in its policy on taxing the rich?
In 2004, the American Political Science Association (APSA) tried to answer that very question. The explanation they came up with viewed the problem as a classic case of democratic participation; While the poor have overwhelming numbers, the wealthy have higher rates of political participation, more advanced skills and greater access to resources and information. In short, APSA said, the wealthy use their social capital to offset their minority status at the ballot box.
But this explanation has one major flaw. Regardless of the Occupy movements rhetoric, most of the growth in the wealth gap has actually gone to a tiny sliver of the i%- one-tenth of it, or even one-one-hundredth.
Even more shockingly, that ? percent of the 1% has shifted its tax burden not to the middle class or poor, but to rich households in the 85th to 99th percentile range. In 2007, the effective income tax rate for the richest 400 Americans was below 17 percent, while the "mass affluent" 1% paid nearly 24 percent. Disparities in Social Security taxes were even greater, with the merely rich paying 12.4 percent of their income, while the super-rich paid only one-one-thousandth of a percent.
It's one thing for the poor to lose the democratic participation game, but APSA has no explanation for why the majority of the upper class - which has no shortage of government- influencing social capital- should fall so far behind the very top earners. (Of course, relative to mido!le- and lower-class earners, they've done just fine.)
For a better explanation, we need to look more closely at the relationship between wealth and political power. I propose an updated theory of "oligarchy," the same lens developed by Plato and Aristotle when they studied the same problem in their own tunes.
First, let's review what we think we know about power in America.
We begin with a theory of "democratic pluralism," which posits that democracy is basically a tug-of-war with different interest groups trying to pull government policy toward an outcome. In this framework, the rich are just one group among many competing "special interests."
Of course, ifs hard not to notice that some groups can tug better than others. So in the 19505, social scientists, like C. Wright Mills, author of The Power Elite, developed another theory of "elites"those who wield more pull thanks to factors like education, social networks and etUicity. In this view, wealth is just one of many factors that might help someone become the leader of a major business or gain a government position, thereby joining the elite.
But neither theory explains how the super-rich are turning public policy to their benefit even at the expense of the moderately rich. …

Caitlyn Jenner Has Settled One Of The Three Lawsuits Against Her
It looks like Caitlyn Jenner can go ahead and cross one of the names off her "People Who Want Me To Pay Up For That Malibu Car Crash" list. TMZ says that Caitlyn and Jessica Steindorff have settled their lawsuit. Jessica was the driver of the Prius that was rear-ended by Caitlyn's Escalade and hit Kim Howe's Lexus, which resulted in her being struck by an oncoming vehicle and killed back in February.
At the time the lawsuit was filed, Jennifer was asking for lost wages, personal injury, and more than $25,000 in damages and medical fees. TMZ doesn't say just how many dollars Jennifer ended up stuffing into her purse, but one thing we know for sure is that none of them came with the dirty stink of Kardashian money. A source says the settlement was paid for completely by Caitlyn's insurance.
Caitlyn still has two more lawsuits to deal with: one from Kim Howe's stepchildren, and one from the family who was driving the Hummer that collided with Kim Howe's Lexus. So, start saving those pennies, Caitlyn Jenner's insurance company. And I guess don't worry about saving any pennies, Caitlyn? "You might not need any extra kash, but that doesn't excuse you from your familial obligations, so get your ass back to strolling for the paps in front of the DASH store" whispered Kris Jenner. I don't know if they actually make money every time they're photographed waddling to and from their cars, but I would assume so, since why else would they do it? Oh, right – attention.
Speaking of family, here's Caitlyn's hottest kid (don't worry, I'm deeply ashamed every time I say those words out loud) in Las Vegas last night with his girlfriend, who is giving off some major bootleg Kylie Jenner vibes.
Brody Jenner Says His Little Sisters Could "Teach Him" Things About Sex
Brody Jenner recently did an interview with Mirror Online (via UsWeekly) and talked about sex, because Brody Jenner is a sexpert now. One of the things Brody talked about was how his younger half-sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, probably won't be calling up their big brother and asking for sex advice any time soon. And it's all thanks to growing up in the Kardashian Khompound.
"Do you seriously think they don't know what's up? They could teach me things! I mean, look at their older sisters. Are you kidding me?"
And if Kylie and Kendall are too busy to teach him about sex, he could always call up Scott Disick and to audit the non-stop fuckfest happening at his bachelor pad this weekend.
But really, what could an amateur sexpert like Brody teach them that they haven't already learned from a pro like Kim Kardashian? Only in the Kima Sutra does it explain how to execute maneuvers like The Sleepy Kanye (when you slip your husband a sleeping pill so you can spend the night taking selfies), The Fame Maker (when you have sex with a famous singer's barely-famous brother on camera), or The Non-Drowsy Kim (when someone fucks you so good that your face muscles move). Speaking of sex tapes, Brody also talked about if either of his little sisters decided to release a sex tape. Brody, STOP.
"I'd be supportive if that's what they wanted to do. I'd congratulate them – especially if they did what I did and put an entire project together from beginning to end."
The "project" Brody Jenner is referring to is a sex tape he made when he was 17 and destroyed shortly after. Once again, as if Brody needs to give Kendall and Kylie advice on releasing a sex tape. If they want to learn how to release a sex tape, they can sign up for their Kris Jenner's 2-day seminar, How To Kash In Your Koochie With Kris, at Hell's Learning Annex.
Here's one of Brody's little sisters (the fashion model one) getting frozen yogurt yesterday.
Here's Caitlyn Jenner's ESPYs Award Speech
While working a custom-made Ver-sayce gown and styling by Dame St. Angie Jolie's stylist (Can't you tell?), Caitlyn Jenner accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs tonight as some people screamed, "(insert the name of any and every athlete here) deserves it more!!!!!" Bob Costas' wig probably flipped off of his head.
Caitlyn's 5,000 children were in the audience as well as Khlozilla, Kim Kartrashian and The Slow One. Pimp Mama Kris, who wasn't invited, watched it in her lair while saying, "Ugh, she looks so fat," to the TV screen as her boy toy/future victim massaged the retractable devil horns on her head.
Before her speech, they played a 13-minute-long video that was narrated by Jon Hamm of all people and showed Caitlyn's Olympic wins as well as some of her transition. During her speech, Caitlyn said that she feels it's her responsibility to "reshape the landscape of how trans issues are viewed" and hopes her story will push people to accept each other for who we are. Caitlyn talked about the murder of 17-year-old transgender woman Mercedes Williamson in Mississippi and a 15-year-old transgender boy who committed suicide just days before her interview with Diane Sawyer aired. Caitlyn said that she can take it when people call her names and makes jokes about her ass, but the thousands of transgender kids out there who are just finding themselves shouldn't have to deal with that shit. Below is a piece of her speech:
"So for the people out there wondering what this is all about — whether it's about courage or controversy or publicity, well, I'll tell you what it's all about. It's about what happens from here. It's not just about one person – it's about thousands of people. It's not just about me — it's about all of us, accepting one another. We're all different — that's not a bad thing. That's a good thing. And while it may not be easy to get past the things you always don't understand, I want to prove that it is absolutely possible if we only do it together."
And in motion:
Kim would've squirted out a fake tear, but her ducts are all Botoxed up.
I really wished that at the end of Caitlyn's speech she would've done a slow, lazy, Ambien and red wine-induced spin, because with that hair and that dress she was giving me Lana Del Rey on Saturday Night Live. Okay, a more alive Lana Del Rey.
Because You've Been Wondering: Yes, Brody Jenner And His Piece Have Threesomes
It's a slow Sunday and I am way too hungover to shit up another Rachel Dolezal post, so here's the overfilled Diva Cup that is Brody Jenner mouth queefing up about threesomes with his girlfriend and how the most traumatic thing he's ever experienced is going down on a girl whose coochie situation smelled like Khlozilla's breath after she catches salmon in a lake.
Since E!'s pact with the devil states that they must give a shit show to absolutely any whore associated with the Kartrashians, Brody is getting a sex talk show that premieres next month. To promote his new show, the douche bro Sue Johanson did an interview with GQ about fucking. Brody let everyone know that he and his current girlfriend Kaitlynn (AWKWARD ALERT) get into threesomes and that's my brain's cue to burp up the image of Kaitlynn filing her nails as Brody and his Dollar Tree Wilmer Valderrama friend go at it.
"We have the best sex together, but we also switch it up and do fun things as well. We're not opposed to having somebody else join in on our sexcapades. It's funny, because a lot of people are always nervous to bring up that subject: 'Hey, what about having a threesome?' I truly believe that a lot more people are a lot more receptive than you think. And when the conversation was brought up, Kaitlynn said, 'I actually don't mind that at all.' So I was extremely excited about that."
I think what Kaitlynn meant is, "I actually don't mind that at all, because I'll have someone to laugh at your douchetastic tattoo with."
And as for Brody's most "traumatic" sexual experience:
"The first time I ever went down on a girl, I was fairly young—like fourteen, fifteen. It smelled terrible, I'm not gonna lie. It was honestly the most traumatic experience for me. After that, basically I said that I'm never gonna do that ever again in my life. I was just like, 'Oh my God, that's what it's like? Jesus. I'm never doing this again—ugh!' Like, I was completely disgusted. And then later on in life, I tried it again and was like, 'Oh, this is totally different than the first time.' So I think maybe the first misconception was that it smelled like that on every girl. That's definitely not the case."
But what I want to know is, how did the chocha smell afterward? Because well, it's been claimed that a coochie's supposed to smell like fresh laundry and tropical rain after encountering a gigantic douchebag.
Here's Brody and Kaitlynn with a K at the Entourage premiere a little while ago.
Not Surprising: Kim Kardashian Has Kissed One Of Her Step-Brothers
You've got to hand it to Pimp Mama Kris; she truly is an innovator when it comes to discovering more grotesque ways for her gaggle of slutty goblins to reach new levels of shamelessness. I know, I'm sure you're thinking: "But what's higher than leaking your own daughter's homemade porno for profit?" Don't worry, shameless whores always find a way.
On last night's episode of Keeping Up With A Bunch Of Low-Klass Kunts, the "Brody Gets A Not-Right Boner" saga continued when Brody Jenner admitted to his step-pimp that he got a little turned on by seeing Kim Kardashian dressed like a cheap marshmallow hooker. Then Kris accused Brody of having a crush on his step-sister since he was 7-years-old, to which Brody denied (because – DUH – having a crush on a skanky narcolepsy-faced Botox demon is the kind of secret you take to your grave). But instead of leaving it at that, Brody dragged his brother Brandon Jenner down into the pits of poor taste hell by accusing him of having a crush on Kim and going so far as kissing his step-sister. Brody never says when the kiss happened, but it was probably when they were kids, because you know if it happened any time in the past 7 years, Kris would have filmed it, burned DVD copies, taped them to Kim's porno, and marketed it as a special KUWTK edition 2-disc set.
Brandon, who was sitting directly across from his wife, keeps denying it and tries to change the subject, but Kris keeps shrieking "YOU KISSED KIM??" in hopes of drawing more information out of him. And not because she thinks it's not-right for two step-siblings to make out, either; she was probably pissed that Kim was turning tricks without her. "Was it just a kiss? Kisses start at $50. She probably gave you a blow job too. That's an extra $200. I take cash or cheques. Pay me in full by the end of the day, and I'll throw in an on-the-house handy from Khloe." It doesn't matter that Brandon is family; none of Kris's bitches work pro-bono!
(via E!)
File Under "BARF": Brody Jenner Admits That Seeing Kim's Half-Naked Tits On Vacation Gave Him A Semi
Any good will Brody Jenner sustained from ditching Kim Kardashian's shameless pre-divorce ceremony just been completely thrown out the window. On a recent episode of Keeping Up With The Klassless Kall Girls, Brody Jenner "accidentally" walked in on The Narcoleptic Hooker Queen and her assistant in the middle of an Instagram photo shoot on the family's vacation on Thailand. One of the rules in Kim's contract with Satan states that she can't take a picture without showing off her tits or ass, but since she was on a vacation with her family, she had to find a tasteful way to do it. So what did that clever slut do? She wrapped herself in a cheap white tablecloth from the dollar store and called it a dress.
Unfortunately, she "forgot" to wear underwear underneath, and Brody ended up getting an eyeful of his step-sister's Botoxed nipples and porn star pussy. Kim quickly covered her rode-hard put-away never bits and told him to get out (nobody gets to see Kim's moneymakers without forking over some cash to Pimp Mama Kris first). Brody ran to tell his brother and sister-in-law what he'd just seen, but instead of screaming for them to get a jug of bleach and a blow-torch while he collapsed into the fetal position and started cry-singing "Amazing Grace", he admitted that seeing a half-naked melted off-brand Bratz doll turned him on. How much?
"Maybe just a half-chub."
Never has the word "maybe" grossed me out more than it does at this moment. And I'm not grossed out by the fact that he got a semi-hard boner from seeing his hooker-looking tramp step-sister wearing a stripper dress. Well, I mean, I am, because that's some
Flowers Skanky Weeds in the Attic bullshit. No, I'm more offended that he would use the word "chub". EW! The only thing worse would be if he had gone full-disgusting and said "chubby" (or its less-shameful, but still gross cousin, "stiffy"). I don't know where he learned such drunk jock language, but it certainly wasn't from his father. Bruce Jenner is too classy to EVER call his erect penis something as distasteful as a "chub" (obviously he refers to it as his "trouser javelin").

Brody Jenner Swears He Doesn't Hate His Evil Step-Sister
Brody Jenner is giving me a little Tom Ford in the face, and yeah, I don't hate it, but he had to go and ruin it all with the douche fingers. What a shame. Bruce Jenner must be so embarrassed that none of his children can even come close to achieving the same level of devastating flawless beauty as he.
But enough about immaculate earth angel Bruce Jenner; this is about the feud between his Drakkar Noir-scented douchebag son and his narcoleptic porn star step-daughter. Despite being THE premier showcase for reality show has-beens and never-wases, Brody Jenner didn't attend Kim Kardashian's biennial wedding ceremony last month because he was "busy". Even though he didn't fall out of Pimp Mama Kris's fame whore hole, some of her stunt queen DNA must have rubbed off on him, because Brody made sure to drop everything he was doing (nothing is a thing you can do) to make a big show of attending the wedding of Kim's ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush this weekend. Brody is about as subtle as the padding in a Kardashian's ass.
Then on Monday, while Brody was walking the red carpet for the 9th Annual All-Star Celebrity Kickoff Party (we're really playing fast and loose with the definition of the word "star", aren't we), he was asked if it was intentional that he skipped Kim's dumb attention whore extravaganza. Instead of answering truthfully by saying "DUH! I'd rather get a root canal though my asshole", Brody replied:
"Kim's was in Paris. I was working. Kim was in Paris, and it's as simple as that. So yeah, it's kind of ridiculous that everybody's making such a big deal out of it. Reggie's been a friend of mine for a very long time. So it's all good."
Then he added: "Besides, it's not a big deal. Kim will have many many many many more weddings that I can pretend I'm too busy to go to."
Here's more of Brody at the 9th Annual Not-Stars Celebrity-ish Kickoff Party on Monday night looking like what you'd see if you threw one of Ashton Kutcher's nut hairs under a microscope:

Brody Jenner Went To Reggie Bush's Wedding After Skipping Kim Kardashian's Pre-Divorce Ceremony Last Month
Brody Jenner wasn't in Italy when Lucifer's most-prized hooker whore Kim Kartrashian married the Illuminati joker Kanye West in front of a wall of moldy cauliflower covered in yeast infection sauce last month, because he said he had already booked a DJ gig in Chicago and had to work. That excuse was hilarious, because: a) Brody Jenner is acting like he works and; b) Somebody paid Brody Jenner to hit the shuffle icon on an iTunes playlist. But at the time, "sources" said that Brody didn't go to Kim's latest wedding, because Kim and Kanye are shameless fame whore demons who didn't give an invitation to Brody's girlfriend but did give an invitation to the likes of Jaden Smith. Besides, Brody figured that once you've dry heaved and rolled your eyes at one fake Kim Kuntrashian wedding, you've dry heaved and rolled your eyes at all of them. Well, cut to one month later, when Brody threw up a picture on his Instagram of him and his girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter smiling at Reggie Bush's wedding in San Diego, CA yesterday. The beautiful shade of it all.
People says that Reggie Bush married Lilit Avagyan, a professional dancer and a Kim Kardashian wax figure made out of parts discarded from a factory-defected OctoMom wax figure, at the Grand Del Mar Resort in San Diego. Lilit and Reggie started rubbing their nipples together three years ago and 14 months ago she gave birth to their daughter Briseis. The groom wore way too many clothes and the bride wore a stunningly exquisite mermaid gown that accentuated her suffocating exercise ball titties and made her look like a Reno, NV stripper turned third tier mob wife on her wedding day circa 1987.
Brody Jenner is a Summer's Eve bottle in a curly mop and he's never been accused of making good decisions (see: the tattoo of his last name in modern douche font), but he has redeemed himself by going to the wedding of his stepsister's ex-boyfriend and a more elegant and natural version of her. The only way this could be better is if Annie Leibovitz took that Instagram picture. And any thing that makes Pimp Mama Kris take a moment from siphoning the innocence out of a newborn baby to scream and rage is a beautiful, beautiful thing.
Here's that Lilit trick taking her smushed chichis for a walk in Beverly Hills the other day.
Leonardo DiCaprio Refused To Be Filmed For Satan's Favorite Reality Show
Before you start gathering your things in response to what sounds like first sign of the apocalypse, please be assured that, no, Pimp Mama Kris hasn't sunk her claws into Leonardo DiCaprio by sending Khloe Kardashian over to his house in a pair of Victoria's Secret angel wings and a rag soaked in ether. Page Six says that Leo decided to catch some hos at Frankie Delgado's birthday party on Sunday with professional famous friend Lukas Haas. Upon arrival, he began scanning the crowd for skinny 20-year-old model ass like a bony butt-hunting T-1000, and noticed that the DJ was sometime Kardashian step-brother Brody Jenner. Next to Brody was his brother Brandon Jenner, as well as the flawless shimmering jewel in the Kardashian Krown, Bruce Jenner.
That's when the fog of booze and coke cleared from Leo's bloated horny lizard brain and he realized they were filming an episode of Keeping Up With Lucifer's Low-Klass Trash. A source claims he and Lukas refused to enter the party for fear of being filmed for KUWTK and chose to wait outside until the filming was over. Wow, you know your shit stinks when it's able to keep Leo away from the ladies.
Page Six also says Paris Hilton arrived at the party and pulled a 180 just like Leo because she didn't want anything to do with KUWTK either. Although in defence of the KUWTK film crew, they probably wouldn't have filmed her anyways, since they have enough footage of Z-list has-beens left over from Kim and Kanye's wedding.
And I don't think Leo left because he didn't want his Academy Award-nominated face to appear in such low-level garbage as KUWTK. I think he was forced to make a quick exit after getting the dizzy, light-headed feeling that comes from gazing upon Bruce Jenner's breathtaking beauty. It probably gave him flashbacks to the fish tank scene in Romeo + Juliet.

What A Genuine And Not-At-All Staged Family Portrait
Two days after Pimp Mama Kris tried to pull up the ratings of her reality shit show by announcing that she and her prisoner Bruce Jenner have been separated for a whole year, TMZ said that Brody and Brandon Jenner screamed "Hallelujah!" while dancing around their daddy as he re-attached his nuts to his crotch with a needle and thread.
Some source told TMZ that right after Auntie Bruce married Pimp Mama Kris, he pretty much abandoned Brody and Brandon and didn't pay child support to their mother Linda Thompson for years. Brody and Brandon believe that their evil cunt of a stepmother was the one who pulled Bruce away from them. Now that Auntie Bruce is free from Lucifer's whoriest minion and living in Malibu, he's spending more time with Brody and Brandon and trying to repair their relationship.
All of that made sense to me, because in one of the only episodes of KUWTK I've seen (for research! FOR RESEARCH!), there was a scene on a yacht where Brody looked like every muscle in his body was snapping from trying to keep himself from throwing that whore overboard and screaming at the captain to book it, bitch. But wait, a quick second after TMZ threw up that story, both Brody and PMK Instagrammed a natural and candid picture of all four of them smiling while spending some quality time together.
I like how PMK added the hashtag: #sorryTMZgotitwrongAGAINLOL. #sorryPMKbutdontactlikeyoudidntleakthatstoryyourselfLOL.
PMK and TMZ are like fuck buddies who don't want everyone to know that they're fuck buddies, so they pretend to hate each other in public. PMK probably gave that story to TMZ to drag this out for maximum attention and then she got even more attention by posting a touching family portrait while pretending to slap at TMZ. You can always count on PMK to take desperation to levels you didn't know existed.
And here's the happy family posing on the floor of their foyer:
Touching IS PMK posing with Bruce (who is looking more and more like Lindsay Lohan: the Metamucil years), Brody and Brandon in the front hallway after giving them a stack of hundreds to do so. Speaking of touching, I don't want to know what PMK is doing with her right elbow…
