OK, you might have to lift a finger. But beating the market is worth it, isn't it?
To understand what I'll tell you below, you'll need to have some basic familiarity and comfort with options -- financial instruments that you give you the right to buy or sell an underlying investment at a future date. Click here and get a quick primer if you need it, then flip back to see my simple strategy.
Assuming you're not intimidated by these modest prerequisites, you'll want to read on.
Putting on a collar
No, I'm not suggesting a studded leather piece of punk rock apparel or a return to the days of tunic shirts and starched, glistening white neckbands. This "collar" refers to a combined stock-and-options strategy that has historically walloped the market while also protecting investors from losing their collective shirt during financial panics.
Specifically, a collar strategy implemented with the PowerShares QQQ Trust (Nasdaq: QQQ ) , an ETF based on the Nasdaq 100 Index, returned 9.6% annually during the 11.5-year period ending in September 2010. This research was conducted by Edward Szado and Thomas Schneeweis, two sharp fellows from the University of Massachusetts. That highly respectable gain looks downright stellar when compared to the cumulative loss of 3% that befell the QQQ Trust itself.
So what is this collar thing, you ask? Simply, a collar involves simultaneously buying a put and writing a call against an underlying stock or ETF that the investor owns. In this case, the put limits potential downside in the price of the QQQ and the written call caps the upside. Hence, the value of the total investment is, well, collared.
Now, the beauty of this approach is that it involves lower up-front costs than simply buying a put, as the proceeds from the written (sold) call help finance, or even fully cover, the cost of the put. Moreover, the inclusion of the put purchase provides far greater downside protection than does a call writing strategy alone.
Even better looking, though, is the actual performance of Szado and Schneeweis' collar model. Just check out the table below.
Monthly Data: April 1, 1999 – Sept. 30, 2010

Source: "Loosening Your Collar: Alternative Implementations of QQQ Collars," by Edward Szado and Thomas Schneeweis. Model assumes purchase of a 2% out-of-the-money six-month put and sale of a 2% out-of-the-money one-month call, at a one-to-one ratio against underlying QQQ shares. Option positions are settled at intrinsic value and rolled forward prior to expiration.
A couple points stand out here. Not only did the collar strategy deliver excellent relative returns, but it also did so with about one-third of the risk (as measured by standard deviation) compared to a long stock-only position in the QQQ Trust. The strategy also posted positive monthly returns nearly two-thirds of the time, so it definitely fits the bill for those who desire equity-like returns and a solid night's sleep.
The most appealing aspect of the QQQ collar, however, may well be how it performed during the bear markets in the tech bubble-and-burst period and the more recent financial crisis:
- From April 1999 to September 2002, the collar chalked up 21.6% annualized gains with a very tame 13.6% standard deviation. The QQQ trust, meanwhile, lost 23.3% annualized, with a hair-rending 42% standard deviation.
- During the financial crisis and subsequent recovery (October 2007 to September 2010), the QQQ trust lost an annualized 1% at a 26.6% standard deviation. The collar, however, kept investors saner and in the black, returning 3.8% annualized, with a standard deviation of only 10.2%.
Is this strategy right for me?
That's not for me to answer. But if you're interested in a hedged investment with respectable upside potential, then I certainly see it as an appealing partial portfolio allocation. Specifically, the QQQ has plenty of risk along with high potential rewards.
First up has to be Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) , which is the ETF's biggest component. The possible negatives here are manifold (and I say this as a shareholder): demand for the company's products eventually pauses or otherwise disappoints; something truly tragic befalls CEO Steve Jobs; or, more prosaically, with every investor and his great aunt already all-in, the stock simply suffers from a lack of new buyers.
Then there's Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) , a company faced with potentially major regulatory headwinds while also wrestling through its own margin-pinching identity crisis. On that latter point, we can throw in Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX ) , which just informed shareholders that the cost of continued growth is heading higher.
Moreover, not every stock in the QQQ has been a huge growth success story. Among its holdings, Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO ) is down 35% over the past year as some fear that its days of dominance may be over, while Teva Pharmaceutical (Nasdaq: TEVA ) has dropped 22% despite having some resistance to the general concerns in the industry over pipeline strength.
And there's still a big bad world out there!
Yes, Fools, besides company-specific uncertainties, macro risk remains, even if investors are all but commissioning oil portraits of their portfolios' two-year charts. In fact, a recent survey of investment advisors reveals bullishness to be within a hair's breadth of October 2007 levels, right before all hell broke loose. In contrarian terms, that means that the emergency slide on the market is just begging to be pulled.
But whether the cause for the next selloff is developments at the global or company level, the QQQ collar should do a good job of seeing investors through relatively unscathed. Depending on such factors as volatility and the depth and pace of a downward move, the put component of the collar could even help deliver a net positive return.
Finally, aside from the QQQ, one can use a collar strategy on the SPDR Trust (NYSE: SPY ) , a proxy for the S&P 500 -- or any other ETF with options. But to create an accurate hedge for your portfolio, I recommend matching as closely as possible the volatility of the ETF to that of your stock holdings. In this case, the QQQ has historically been slightly more volatile than the SPDR Trust.

The math is fairly straightforward. Barring quick turnovers and some intentional fouling, a six-point game with about 90 seconds to play will usually yield about three possessions per team.
At that point, it's a skins game. If the team with the lead can score on one of its three possessions, it essentially forces the team that's trailing to run the table, with at least one 3-pointer in the mix.
Conversely, get a stop on any one of those final three possessions, and chances are you can coast to the finish line with a couple of late free throws.
In short, the Miami Heat collapse at the finish of Game 4 was a failure on both ends of the floor.
LeBron James will undoubtedly shoulder the popular blame for his inability to convert on Miami's final meaningful trip downcourt, but the Heat turned in six poor possessions during the game's final minute and a half -- three offensive and three defensive.
Had the Heat executed on any one -- and certainly two -- of the six, they would have likely returned home on Sunday night with nearly a full week to prepare for the conference semifinals.
Here's what happened instead, with the Heat leading 82-76 with 1:35 remaining in the game:Rob Carr/Getty
This is the failed play that everyone will talk about, but there was plenty that preceded it.
Evan Turner's runner
The Heat are generally a very selective trapping team, but when they fell behind early on Sunday, they ratcheted up their defensive aggressiveness by throwing multiple bodies at the Philadelphia 76ers' ball handlers -- in the backcourt, on pick-and-rolls and particularly when the ball found its way to the sideline.
When traps work, they look unstoppable. After all, there are few human beings walking the earth who can consistently score or make sound plays when two professional basketball players are hounding them in their personal space.
But trapping presents all kinds of hazards, as well. On a pick-and-roll requires, the defense must rotate, which means defenders now have to make judgment calls and multiple decisions. If two defenders are guarding the ball, who's going to pick up the roller? And who's going to pick up the guy the picker-upper left? When the ball handler dishes it off, the second defender has to find the open man before the ball does.
This stuff requires coordination and precision, which is why many coaches (including the Heat's Erik Spoelstra and the Sixers' Doug Collins) generally prefer a strong base defense, sending help only when absolutely necessary.
For most of Sunday afternoon, though, the trap worked wonders for the Heat. So it's a cruel irony that it failed them on a defensive possession that could've sealed the game.
The Sixers have a small lineup on the floor that includes Jrue Holiday, Lou Williams, Evan Turner, Andre Iguodala and Elton Brand, while the Heat counter with Mario Chalmers, Dwyane Wade, James, James Jones and Chris Bosh.
Williams (guarded by Wade) brings the ball up the left side of the floor, with Holiday, Philadelphia's starting point guard, playing off the ball, eventually clearing through to the right side where Brand and Iguodala are situated. Turner (Chalmers' assignment) sets a screen for Williams just to the left of the top of the key.
The Heat have been running traps at Williams regularly in this series, and do so again here. But the defense never fully recovers and Miami pays for it.
Williams is able to move right of the lane, as far as the foul line, where he meets resistance. That's when he pitches the ball off to Holiday way out on the right wing. Holiday, played by LeBron, takes one left-handed dribble toward the paint, but hits heavy traffic. He looks up to see Turner wide open on the left wing.
How wide open is Turner? If you froze the play and drew a straight line down the middle of the floor, nine players would fall to the right side of that demarcation. The 10th is Turner.
Instead of recovering promptly, Chalmers "ball watches" long after he should return to Turner. He's still hanging around the scrum in the middle of the floor once Williams dishes the ball off to Holiday.
The oddest thing, though, is that when it finally occurs to Chalmers that he might want to pick up the rookie scorer on the far side of the court, the route Chalmers takes resembles a parabola.
When Holiday finds Turner on the far side with the pass, Chalmers is so far upcourt, Turner has the baseline all to himself. He takes a single dribble and, with forward momentum, hits the runner. Bosh does an acceptable job of contesting, but it's a long distance and Turner has nothing but free space to work with.
Chalmers has his attributes as an on-ball defender, but this is an atrocious piece of team defense by the third-year guard.
Miami 82, Philadelphia 78
Mario Chalmers' missed 3-pointer
You normally like to see a team get into its offense quickly to ensure that there's a second or third trigger available should the first one fail. But you can understand why Wade takes his time dribbling the ball up the left sideline. The clock is ticking toward one minute and the Heat have possession along with a four-point lead. Why hurry?
Wade dribbles in place with Holiday in front of him. Chalmers and Bosh are down on the box, while Jones sets up on the weak side perimeter. James lingers around the top of the key, guarded by Iguodala.
It's obvious what's coming:
The vaunted Wade-James pick-and-roll. As the Heat's single most efficient half-court action, it's the right play call here.
A Wade-James pick-and-roll doesn't have a monolithic objective (other than, you know, to score two points). It can be used to get Wade a driving lane, or James on the move diving to the rim, or, as is the case here, to work a mismatch.
James clearly wants to post up Holiday and play bullyball, and the Sixers seem comfortable executing the switch. So now James backs Holiday in to the left elbow, while the lanky Iguodala harasses Wade at the top of the floor.
We sometimes forget Iguodala has a 6-foot-11 wingspan, and that length really bothers Wade here. Even though James is poised for an entry pass, Wade can't execute it over Iguodala's outstretched arms.
With the shot clock ticking down -- 7, 6, 5 -- Wade realizes he needs to cut bait, so he kicks the ball over to Jones, who has a reasonably open look. It's not an infinite look, but it's enough. Yet, Jones passes up the shot. He takes a dribble inside the line, then dishes it off to Chalmers in the right corner, who also has an open look.
With the 24-second clock expiring, Chalmers launches the 3-pointer, but the shot is short.
Jrue Holiday's 3-pointer
The Sixers finished the season as the NBA's 17th most efficient offense. As much as Philadelphia can struggle in the half court, it thrives in transition and on the secondary break. It ranks toward the top of the league in transition offense and is very proficient at early jump shots.
After the Sixers secure the rebound off Chalmers' miss, they get the ball to Holiday to push it upcourt. James has been covering Holiday, but he went to the offensive glass and is now trailing the play.
The Heat generally do a nice job of sending enough personnel back to stop a potential break and, sure enough, Wade has already reported downcourt to stop the ball. You can see him motion toward a trailing James to pick up the right sideline, where Turner is streaking down the floor.
Holiday wants to initiate something early here, but Wade meets him at the arc. Just as you think the Sixers are going to settle into a set offense ... BAM. Holiday slinks back over the line and fires a 3-pointer that falls through the net with 46.6 seconds remaining in the game.
Wade afforded Holiday a few feet. Was he right to do so?
"[Holiday] froze me," Wade said. "He got off a shot probably not many people in the arena expected him to shoot."
Holiday took a dribble perpendicular to Wade, then squared up and launched the shot.
"Holiday's was a clean look," Spoesltra said. "it was about as clean a look as you can get normally against us."
Miami 82, Philadelphia 81
Dwyane Wade's missed fadeaway
The Heat have done an admirable job in recent weeks choreographing legitimate basketball sets in big situations.
We've seen the emergence of the aforementioned Wade-James pick-and-roll. The Heat have been slaying opponents by running angle screen-and-rolls with Wade and Bosh. When the Heat beat the Sixers late in the regular season, they ran a gorgeous set that compromised Philly's stay-at-home defense. They ran multiple screen actions to get Wade that wide driving lane to beat the Los Angeles Lakers down the stretch last month.
There isn't a shortage of stuff in Spoelstra's playbook the Heat can go to in critical late-game situations. This isn't a team with a single superstar, or a unit with one guy who demands a double-team and a few specialists, when running an isolation or 1-4 flat can be justified. This team, with its diversity of skill sets, should be legally bound to make all five defenders work.
Yet what do the Heat do here?
Wade whittles down the clock opposite Holiday, a capable defender who gave up only 0.82 point per possession in isolation situations during the regular season. James, Chalmers and Jones are planted to the floor standing still counterclockwise around the arc, with Bosh hangs out on the weak side block.
Wade backs Holiday in from the 3-point line to the edge of the paint. After he tries to cross Holiday over, Wade picks up his dribble with :09 left on the shot clock:
James is at the top of the arc with about seven feet between him and his defender, Iguodala. James isn't the most proficient 3-point shooter on his team, but a wide, wide-open 3-point look from the top of the floor is a much higher percentage play than a tightly contested Wade 2-pointer.
Mario Chalmers is also open from 3-point range.
James Jones is absurdly open across the floor in front of the Sixers' bench. At this point, all five Sixers defenders have packed the paint. None is in a position to close out on a 3-point shooter were one to fire up an attempt.
If there's a counterfactual of this play, it has James making a basket cut from his perch on the arc down the gut of the lane to collect a pass from Wade. We can only hypothesize how many points the Heat would score if we brought this scenario to life ten times from the frozen screen, but you'd have to think it's somewhere in the 12-15 range, with a highly probable result being a foul call.
Instead, Wade pivots with his right foot, spins left to find more space, then falls away as he launches an off-balanced jumper.
"I got a good turnaround, it just didn't go in," Wade said.
Sure, it's a shot Wade has hit a couple hundred times before and will hit a couple hundred times again before he retires. But on this team with this personnel at your disposal, you can't in good conscience classify Wade's attempt as "good."
Lou Williams' 3-pointer
With about two seconds separating the shot and the game clocks, Williams bringing the ball up the right side.
Even though this is a hold-for-the-last shot situation, the Sixers are well aware they have trouble creating shots in a half-court set. So rather than wait, Brand immediately sets a hard screen that pastes Wade and allows Williams to move left with the ball.
Bosh does tremendous work here jumping out on the perimeter, ceding no space to a gunslinger like Williams. Even though he's eager to get back to Brand, who has drifted into the paint, Bosh wisely stays with Williams until Wade, who slips while trying to recover, can get back into the play.
Williams can't find any room, so he pitches the ball off to Turner along the left sideline, about 29 feet from the basket.
Very little is materializing for the Sixers. Holiday, who is on the right side, is calling for a reversal. Williams moves in front of Turner toward Chalmers' left shoulder as if he's going to screen for him, but instead flares back to the top of the floor. Turner returns the ball to Williams as the Sixers reset.
So now it's Williams versus Wade, with everyone else at home. With Wade just inside the 3-point line, Williams takes one dribble from about 30 feet. Wade now comes out, just as Williams stops and pops a 27-footer with 10 seconds on the game clock.
He buries it.
"The [3-pointer] there with Williams, that was highly contested," Spoelstra said. "[Dwyane] got a hand-to-ball contest."
Though Wade confessed he was caught off-guard by Holiday's shot, he agreed with Spoelstra's assessment.
"I got a great contest on that shot," Wade said. "I couldn't defend it any better when it comes to playing both the drive and the shot, I got a good contest. He hit a good shot."
Philadelphia 84, Miami 82
LeBron James' missed layup
The Heat have 8.1 seconds and a two-point deficit. James Jones is the inbounder on the left sideline, with all four teammates lined up in front of him. The ball finds its way to James at the top of the floor. His trip there was easy, as he zipped up from the low block, rubbing Iguodala off Wade.
Iguodala catches up to James at the top of the floor, and James goes to work immediately. He drives along the right edge of the lane with Iguodala squarely in front of him. Chalmers and Jones remained along the left side of the arc, while Bosh sets up underneath and Wade trails the play, looking for a potential putback.
Brand doesn't bother himself a bit with Bosh, and why should he? By virtue of making this an obvious isolation drive for James, the Heat absolve the Sixers from having to defend anyone else on the floor. Brand eagerly leaves Bosh beneath the basket and rises in unison with James, his big right hand brushing the ball, which caroms off the corner of the backboard.
The Sixers collect the miss, and Wade is forced to foul Turner, who ices the game with a couple of free throws.
"There were a couple different triggers to it," Spoesltra said of the play. "That was the first trigger. [James was] able to put the ball on the floor, but we weren't able to get anything out of it."
What if the Heat had run this with, say, Bosh setting a step-up screen? Chances are the Sixers trap LeBron in that situation, but would that double-team have presented any greater resistance to LeBron than Iguodala primed in isolation and Brand essentially acting as a goalie? Maybe Iguodala gets hung up and LeBron finds the seam he's looking for? Maybe a helper has to collapse from the perimeter and a shooter is left wide open? Maybe Bosh floats to 15 feet because Brand is trapping James and there's no one available to rotate? At this point, would you prefer LeBron against the world or a wide-open look for Bosh at the right elbow?
There are a million variables put into motion when an offense pressures a defense by moving players around on a court. I don't believe for a second that isolations for LeBron James are less than a 20 percent proposition.
But I do know that, since the 5-game losing streak ended in early March, the Heat have scored their most impressive buckets in the most critical situations when they were at their most creative.

To be real, though - PokeCommunity is a huge forum, with areas that cover pretty much everything in life. You would be hard-pressed to find a club that
steal activity from another forum in some way. The more common victims are Culture & Media and Japanese Entertainment, because the focuses of those forums are where a lot of fandoms come from, but ultimately that shouldn't matter because clubs have a very different energy than a regular discussion thread - they are generally a more cohesive and inherently positive environment, and I believe that's why the clubs deserve to exist.
I forgot the point I was trying to make with this.... oh right! The fact that a club might take activity from another section isn't necessarily a reason for it not to exist. Clubs and discussion sections are two very different things, and if a person has enough passion for the subject at hand then I see no reason why they shouldn't be able to post in both.
So personally, I don't see the problem with an artist's club. It goes well with the musician's corner and the fitness club. I do question how much activity it would get, but I guess that's something you can only know for sure by trying it out. As for a deviantArt club, I tend to agree with CWP there - so maybe just lump that in with the art/artist club and do it all as one?
droomph, my point about activity-stealing above applies to the Japanese language club as well, but if you're worried about that, I don't think you need to be. I just had a quick look in the club and from what I've seen, all the threads except for one are about various anime series, and not so much about the culture itself.
In any case, I've always been a sort of 'you don't know until you try' sort of person, so that's what I recommend you do. That's just my opinion though, the others are bringing up valid points as well

Whether by hanging or electrocution, Nebraska, since declaring statehood, has used capital punishment sparingly. As the state prepares for its first execution by lethal injection, NET News asks the a simple question. How did we get here? The result is the documentary "…until he is dead: A history of Nebraska's death penalty."
The program reviews a century and a half of differing methods, changing law and shifting public opinion. Fascinating stories and rarely heard stories of those who were executed give fresh insight into the reasons for, and opposition to, the ultimate punishment given the worst of society's offenders.

Hello all,
I just got my registration info back from TOSRV (Tour of the Scioto River Valley) on May 11 & 12. I am rather excited about the whole thing, but have yet to hook up with anyone in the touring club here to see if anyone else is going. The tour starts in Columbus, Ohio in the states.
I would like to ride with someone, and was curious if anyone here on BikeForums is going to be doing the ride?
Winter has arrived again here in Northeast Ohio, and there are two inches of snow on the ground. Hhrrmpphht. Back to the fluid resistance trainer - bummer.

With the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, Cardozo professors Michael Herz, Kate Shaw, and David Rudenstine discuss how having an even number of justices impacts the United States Supreme Court.
Prof. Stewart Sterk Quoted in the Philadelphia Inquirer: How Hershey Trust's Chairman Found a Summer Job For His Son
Philadelphia Inquirer - "It was designed to be a whitewash and it is a whitewash," Stewart E. Sterk, professor at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York, said of the report. "It's disingenuous to the extreme. The report takes at face value anything that the trust says."
Prof. David Udell Details in The National Law Journal the Progress Courts Have Made in Helping Those Without Lawyers
The National Law Journal - "The biggest story in Justice Index 2016 is about the progress courts are making to help people without lawyers," said David Udell, executive director of the center, which is housed at Yeshiva University Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. "Nothing replaces the role of a lawyer, but with judicial leadership, many states are pursuing common-sense reforms to help poor Americans in civil cases."
Prof. Marci Hamilton Mentioned in the AP: In Minnesota, Hundreds Take Opportunity to Sue Over Sex Abuse
Boston Globe - "States have taken two basic approaches to changing their statutes of limitations to allow new cases, said Marci Hamilton, a professor at the Cardozo School of Law in New York."
Lee Sporn, Co-Director of Cardozo's FAME Center for Fashion, Art, Media & Entertainment Law, Wins Lifetime Achievement Award
The Global Legal Post - A leading fashion lawyer has won the Luxury Law Summit's Lifetime Achievement award.
U.S. News & World Report: "There's been a retreat" in the courts, says Michel Rosenfeld, a professor at Cardozo Law School. "It used to be that the federal government, through court decisions, was expanding rights to everybody, even in states where there was resistance."
Prof. Kate Shaw's Paper Highlighted in Law 360: Invitees To High Court Amici Party Aren't a Diverse Bunch
Law360 - A recent paper examining amicus invitations from the U.S. Supreme Court found that a majority of invitations were issued to former law clerks and that women and minorities have largely been excluded, revealing a court that has become "increasingly insular and cloistered."

Since it's summer, it's something to talk about. Why not MoMo Jones?
Jones transferring out of Arizona program - CBSSports.com
One more PG, and this one with big-time experience.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
I think the big reason why not is that he's transferring back home to be with his sick grandmother, which may get him an exemption to play right away. No shot for ISU.
Forever trying to find a cure for the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
I wouldn't be on board with it. Kind of a slap in the face to Sledge at this point if we brought in a transfer PG, especially one with two years of eligibility left.

I have a 8 week old dd who will not sleep. For the past month or so, she can't sleep unless it is in someone's arms or the swing, or carseat when I run to town. At night it takes me 2-3 hours to get her to sleep! Once she does, she sleeps anywhere from 7-9 hours, so I can't complain about that, but during that 2-3 hours she wants to nurse constantly. I try and put her down, and she wakes right back up. The past couple of nights, I had to let her fuss in her swings until she fell asleep because I am so frustrated and exhausted! she never full out cries during this, just fussing with a cry here or there, so that is okay, right? I know she is too young to cry it out.
I think she is just using me as a pacifier- I've tried everyday to get her to take one, but she won't, it just makes her more mad. I have 2 boys, and neither of them did this, so I feel like a failure not being able to handle this. I don't see my husband much, because by the time I actually get her to sleep, he is asleep. He has tried helping me out by rocking her, but she has none of it- she wants to nurse.
So should I just tough it out and she will grow out of it? I am usually in tears every night now knowing what is coming. Does it have something to do with my milk? Is she not getting enough? She is filled out good so I don't think it is that, but I am at a loss. Any thoughts?
A little update: today has been the same as night except all day she has hardly slept, and she'll fall asleep nursing, but wake up right away when I put her down. what do I do?

Extremely oversold. VMW beat top/bottom line; guides low; but guidance can be changed if global economy is in solid foot in the future.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Agreed, but it is churning below 78 trying to decide if it needs to test 76.3 again, or if this churning is establishing a new support point. Time will tell.
Be the guest of MMs ... AAPL board is full of posters such as yourself, who bought at 675, thinking that it was oversold from 700++ level! (now ~ 450) . And AAPL has such a reasonable valuation!
What do they say about falling knife? ...
Sentiment: Sell
The knife has already fallen.

According to the Lansing Fire Department a 36 unit apartment in the Waverly Park Apartment Complex was engulfed in flames that started from a car crashing into the middle of the building.
Fire officials say at least 2 were injured including the driver of the car and transported to a local hospital.
It's unclear how severe their injuries are.
When the car hit the building it severed gas lines that ignited causing flames to engulf the building.
It's also unclear why and how the driver crashed into the complex.
The Lansing fire department says all the registered tenants were accounted for.

Labour's latest policy announcement, creation of a committee of English MPs to scrutinise bills only relating to England, highlights the party's panic over the Conservatives popular English Votes for English Laws (EVEL) proposals.
It remains to be seen whether plans to address youth engagement are indicative of a genuine desire to address the issues facing the young, or simply hollow incentives aimed at scraping as many extra votes as possible in the run up to what is set to be an incredibly tightly contested general election.
If I were to lie in a court of law, I would go to jail. If I make false or misleading statements as a director of a publicly listed company about my shares or assets I can face criminal prosecution. But astonishingly it's entirely legal for an MP to lie to Parliament. It's one rule for them and one rule for us.
This entity speaks a robotic language, it is well versed in parliamentary procedure and his or her head is full of weird terminology, rules and regulations. Career politicians beware, Amelia is ready to take your job! She can give straight answers to straight questions. So, what is there for you to do?
The advent of fixed-term Parliaments means that we know when the next election will be. We know when purdah will kick in and given the need for the 'conscious uncoupling' of the Coalition, we are already in a state of permanent election campaigning.
We Europeans did nothing to help Tunisia achieve its revolution in January 2011. Yet, today, we can and must support the most successful of the Arab Spring countries - because we know that democracy can never be taken for granted.
Campaigning has become daily routine for me. I now know that no matter what my job is and where I am in the world it'll always be something I'm proud to be involved in and that motivates me.
The admission by former Liberal Democrat Party Treasurer Lord Razzall, that he was offered cash for peerages "several times a year" over a period of twelve years but failed to report any of these criminal offences threatens to take the lid back off one Westminster's most unseemly and nocuous can of worms of recent decades: cash for honours.
As Parliament Week draws to a close, both its organisers and prominent figures, like Mariam and Alvin, will soon turn their attentions to May 2015, and the challenges that are sure to arise.
There's already a lot of buzz around Parliament about the upcoming election. On 7 May , over three million young people will have the chance to vote in Britain for the first time. Here's the bad: only one-third of young people say that they will vote, compared to two-thirds of the general population and 75% of those over 65.
No-one is short on an opinion about Ed Miliband and the way that he is leading the Labour Party. After the media storm at the weekend about a plot to oust him, things have gone quieter but the media are still desperate to see leadership blood...
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act should be reviewed to protect the "welfare of women" along with the "welfare of children".
The speed of change in terms of global drug policy over the past few years has been nothing short of remarkable. As is their way, Britain's political class has largely responded by shutting their eyes, putting their fingers in their ears and insisting on business as usual.
Standing in the middle of Parliament Square, I watch the October twilight turn the breath of the Superintendent and the Baroness into steam. In the middle of hundreds of protestors with placards like "People, not banks!", the Green member of the House of Lords Jenny Jones is receiving a Pinteresque line of questioning...
Real democracy is messy, like the Houses of Parliament is rocky and uneven; an organic structure in the Gothic style... It should not be made clean, and it should not be made smooth. Winston Churchill, for one, was not afraid of the fight. And neither, one may hope, are #OccupyDemocracy.
Recall would strengthen the link between an MP and their constituents, which is at the heart of our representative democracy. Real recall would mean MPs who are involved in serious misconduct, fail to represent their constituents (think Nadine Dorries or George Galloway ditching the Commons for reality TV), switch parties without triggering a by-election or break electoral promises could face recall if enough of their constituents demand it.

The Open Shop Fight
The National Chamber of Commerce has com
pleted its referendum on the question of the
"open shop"; the decision of its members going
almost unanimously in favor. This national or
ganization of labor skinners means to wage ag
gressive war on organized labor all over the coun
try. In many cities the fight is already on, devel
oping on a wide scale and increasing in bitter
ness. Here in Cleveland the tailors and pattern
makers are already in the midst of it. A half-page
advertisement of the merchant tailors announces
their determination to stand for "Industrial Free
dom and the open shop." This means freedom for
the bosses to close the shop to union men and fill
it with scabs and traitors ; freedom to push wages
down below the living line, lengthen the working
day and increase the speed; freedom to deter
mine the conditions of the workers' lives while
denying them any voice or representation.
If we are not to be riveted to a system of in
dustrial servitude more hideous, even, than wo
suffer under today, we must fight back with all
our power. The bosses have the advantage at the
start because they are organized in a solid body.
We must organize in the same manner if we want
to win.
Get Together, Boys!
There is lots of sentiment among the more
progressive workers for industrial unionism, and
lots of talk about it, but we don't see anything yet.
that looks like One Big Union.
The I. W. W. says it's the One Big Union. So
does the W. 1. 1. U. Independent industrial unions
are springing up all around -in some cases two or
three in the same industry and they say they're
the One Big Union.
And now the One Big Union of Canada is
coming down to enter the field. It is the latest,
as far as we know. But there may be others
we haven't heard About yet.
Now, if we could put them all together into
one organization, and swing in those fighting
unions still in the A. F. ol L. who are ready to
line up as soon as they see something that looks
like iiusiness. we would have a good start toward
the real One Big Union. As we see it, this is
what will have to take place sooner or later. The
rank and fil? of all these organizations would
welcome such a move without a doubt.
The name of the One Big Union doesn't make
any difference. And it doesn't matter much who
the officials are, if the shop committee system
and other safeguards are incorporated so as to
put actual control into the hands of the rank and

PRINTERS working on a Minneapolis paper

THE very fact that the employers are banding

WASHINGTON — Workers at a Jordanian factory that produced bikinis and underwear for Victoria's Secret under a subcontract are allegedly being threatened with forced deportation after striking to protest the imprisonment of six co-workers, according to a report from the National Labor Committee.
The watchdog group said the six workers were imprisoned on "trumped-up charges" after they spoke out against increased production demands at D.K. Garments, where the 150 employees from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka toil long hours in poor conditions. The workers' production goal was increased by 43 percent this month to 4,000 pieces in a 10-hour shift for 22 sewers, the NLC said.
"This case to us seemed very extreme," said Charles Kernaghan, director of the NLC. "We had to move quickly."
The group said workers were slapped and beaten, not paid their full overtime pay and labored from 7 a.m. to as late as 10 p.m., seven days a week with one day off every three or four months. Dorms for the workers have irregular access to water and no heat or hot water.
The strike began Nov. 12 and the factory owner is now threatening to cut off the workers' food and water and force deportation, said the NLC, adding the workers paid up to $3,000 to purchase three-year work contracts in Jordan and will go deeply into debt if they return to their home countries.
Factories in Jordan can get duty free access to the U.S. market under the Jordan Free Trade Agreement and a system of Qualified Industrial Zones under an Israel-U.S. trade deal.
A May 2006 NLC report revealed a variety of labor abuses of foreign workers and led to an official investigation that also found labor abuses. As a result, the country added labor inspectors and gave factories incentives to comply with standards.
"There are a lot of problems, but the big issues of human trafficking and workers being held in involuntary servitude have been much improved," said Kernaghan. "It seems to me the government's doing something quite positive, but maybe the message is not strong enough. There is no doubt that there are continuing problems. We're getting two or three calls [from Jordan] a week, at a minimum."
This story first appeared in the November 28, 2007 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Samer Naber, legal officer at Jordan's embassy in Washington, said the allegations would "be fully and fairly investigated in accordance with Jordanian law and the findings will be made publicly available." Naber said the country is continuing its work to improve labor conditions.
Limited Brands, which owns Victoria's Secret, declined to comment.
