Occupy Wall Street: Is It Really The 99%?
- EconMatters's blog
- Printer-friendly version

EAT SHIT you dumb fuck and don't even thing about coming back to the ZH community you prick
repost, my bad
It is incredible that Lewis Powell can post from his grave.
the dynamics are playing and revealing. perhaps the nazi's
and communist party elites are correct. perhaps the corporatist
and oligarchs are correct. the general public is entirely incompetent
and too distracted to enact law. maybe the masses need to be herded
and fleeced, inspected and fumigated for advantage of those doing the
fleecing and fumigating?
democracy and representative governance being just fairy tales and
sweet dreams for sleeping, count your sheep.
it is curious. the bastions of the true believers seeking support
financial from china and iran, ideological anti-thesis. but coins
always have an obverse. so, here we go, again. and the spin relates to
the real world of physics and electrodynamic and gravitational complexity,
haunting the ghost of our reality predicated on study and awareness of
our history and the crime of all humanity. civilization itself as defined
by law and the written word.
Since the beginnings of the Occupy Wall Street movement it has resembled the throng of followers in "Forrest Gump's" cross country run marathon. Just a bunch of aimless folks with no clear sense of vision jumping on with hopes of it leading somewhere meaningful. Heck, the only one in that chapter that came out ahead was the enterprising chap that capitalized on the "Shit Happens" bumper sticker! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVY8ouWnDyQ&NR=1 Fast forward today, it's no wonder Obama embraces and with sincere empathy, identifies with the protesters. As neither seemingly communicate a clear message of stated goals or offer concise strategies with realistic prospects of achieving the desired and improved state of affairs. In keeping with pacifying the masses, Obama should immediately seek passage of the "No Crises Left Behind Act", wherein as follows… 1. All protesters shall be given job classification and become unionized. 2. All protesters shall receive government issued "Mexican Backhoes", i.e. shovels. 3. Effective upon passage the aforementioned and newly unionized protesters shall commence digging at strategically determined locations until further notified. Reaching the conclusion of this glorious shovel-ready project Obama and his new found friends of distinction can resoundingly chant, 'can you dig it, baby?', finally fulfilling the campaign slogan of "Yes We Can!". And at the risk of being verbose, here's a blast from the past for all the sheeple out there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhUlP4wiAQo
....the problem with the movement is that it is not hurting the big banks, but rather, it is hurting the small-business owners that are fighting to survive in a recession, says small-business owner Carol Bloom Stevens."
which is exactly Obama's agenda.
So says Google: http://www.google.com/cse?cx=011272781630429997772%3Anyqp33fbnxu&ie=UTF-...
and just for fun...
That article "bad moon rising" that discussed the generational differences in opinion on OWS appears to have more fact to it then I thought. Alot of Boomers think we should all just shut up and take it in the keister for 30 more years like good little tax cattle. Just like you guys did right? People should be more ashamed that they sat around with thier thumbs up thier ass while thier children are being robbed by financial terrorists.
We protested Vietnam and it got us Richard Nixon, Cambodia, and hundreds (maybe thousands) of POWs abandoned at the Paris peace talks. Oh yes, protest is so effective.
The difficulty is finding what works, that is not coopted, that benefits the people AND screws "the man".
The closest things to this I have seen are things like Max Keiser's "Buy silver, bankrupt JP Morgan" and the "national change your bank day". Non-violent, effective, less confrontational.
Add to this, possibilities like
- samizdat network that is not internet based (DVDs, flash sticks)
- flash protests that fade quickly - just to remind folks it is still important, and people still care. They just also care about small business
- How about finding alternative ways to fund small startups, or products useful to real people? We are talking thousands of dollars, not millions.
You said it better, clearer, and more succintly than I ever could. My sentiments exactly only they are your sentiments.
@ "Occupy Wall Street: Is It Really The 99%?"
consider the difference between the words...
"is" and "represent" as the word is being used
in this title. do you mean to ask....
" occupy wall street: does it represent the 99% ". it being
the movement or phenomena, ows.
Keiser Report: Cameron & Osborne on the Run (E209)
who has the authority to make law? change law? the 99%?
In my opinion, OWS is just another tool the elite are using to divide and distract the People, inciting them to violence so they can launch their pogrom. The elite know if they do not create the cover of war and chaos to mask their crimes, they will eventully be held accountable. Obama's endorsement of this 'movement' is revealing of it's true intent. Follow the money, the power, the players.
It's threads like this that truly exposes and distinguishes those with intellect and those who are slaves to bias, conditioning and utter stupidity.
Some very salient and relevant opinions from some members, thanks. Revolutions are not pretty or necessarily cohesively implemented and executed but rest assured that's exactly what this is and will continue to become IMHO. There will be widespread violence within 24 months.
Anyone who opines that the current "status quo" can be changed with votes is a blathering fucking imbecile, period. How many state elections have been purposefully "undermined" thanks to Diebold to date for example?
Tyler et al, can you please discontinue posting whatever Econmatters jacks-off all over himself/herself/themselves, it does nothing but cheapen ZH.
Well said. coundn't agree more.
Some pretty good ideas Haole.
Many people greatly underestimate the undelying amger in this Country.
A quite lame Post this one, for sure.
To expect some fully-formed movement in a few weeks is simply illiterate. To miss the potential of this is stunningly naive.
One more major Financial boondoggle in this Country (EU?) and this will go viral...maybe not #OWS but the "next one"; this is the Tip of the Spear, make no mistake.
Constructive change is never the result of anger alone. What positive contribution is OWS making?
If it gets even 1% of people who hear about it to look further into something that they haven't previously known, or cared about, then that is a positive contribution to the education of people the world over.
Purely anecdotal, but the Arab spring piqued an interest in Middle Eastern history, and I learned about topics I'd never even considered prior to that. If it happens to me, then it can happen to someone else too.
People need information and impetus before enacting change, and OWS provides both to others.
I've attended antiwar protests going back decades and I can't honestly say that it ever accomplished a thing other than to give me a chance to let off steam. It seems to me that public protest can only be effective when it's confined to a narrow topic and targets a select group of officials who could lose their seats due to an electoral threat. But asking one party or one branch of government to clamp down on its opposite member is like asking a man to use his right hand to chop off his left.
Right. If you put your blinders on the bogey man will go away. Great plan!
"For example, if not for the OWS[???], it is doubtful the Penn State students would have resorted to rioting over a football coach who probably deserved to be fired in the first place based on reported accounts."
Sorry. This is idiotic. Penn State's problems with pedophilia have nothing to do with general disgust with our bank owned leadership. Penn State students are maybe infuriated that the brand they committed to is now being tarnished forever. I don't think these demographics overlap. Except that the Penn State students, by virtue of losing an important illusion, may develop more in common with OWS, if this starts a process by which they question more assumptions. What's this? OWS pre-crime? Ice Hockey fans riot in Vancouver as the Canucks lose Stanley Cup against Boston Bruins
"Another observation: As part of the 99% "worker bees", it is also very difficult for us to fathom how much free time these protesters ... have".
Time is what you make of it. Do you ever ask yourself? Maybe you should quit your job? Maybe you don't have your priorities identified? You talk about family. What kind of world are you leaving to your offspring?
Well, never mind about that. You just get on that hamster wheel and keep spinning. Who knows, you may even move up a few seats.
You can tell Carol Bloom Stevens that sometimes, the time comes when we all have to endure some hardship.
I think I see a way to transition existing Central Banks (worldwide) from debt based money, to debt free, intrest free money.
Sovereign citizens around the world (Occupy Globally) demand debt free interest free money. Back up that demand with action. Stop using and supporting debt based money. If this is done globally, the debt based money system will end.
Governments respond by nationalizing central banks, and reduce interest rates to zero. (Aren't we headed there already?) Create money to retire all debt.
We have now transitioned to debt free money for transactions and unit of account.
Preserve your wealth with Gold and Silver.
The term "sovereign citizen" is an oxymoron. ONly suckers and dupes use that term. The gov't is the entity that coined it. hping you go into court looking like a nut by calling yourself 2 contridictory terms.
The term "citizen," as understood in our law, is precisely analogous to the term "subject" in the common law, and the change of phrases has entirely resulted from the change of government The sovereignty has been changed from one man to a collective body of people, and he who before was a subject of the king is now a citizen of the state. "Citizens," under our Constitution and laws, means free inhabitants born within the United States or naturalized under the laws of Congress. United States v. Rhodes (U. S.) 27 Fed. Cas. 7S5, 788 (citing 1 Kent, Comm. 292, note
We are simply free men and women. The STATE can not be sovereign under any theory except for a fool's consent. Men and women can not give alligiance to a coporation trust or any other legal fiction. allegiance is between MEN.
First, every subject (as it hath been affirmed by those that argued against the Plaintiff) is presumed by Law to be sworn to the King, which is to his natural person; and likewise the King is sworn to his subjects which oath he taketh in his natural person: for the politique capacity is invisible and immortal; nay, the politique body hath no soul, for it is framed by the policy of man...
A body politique (being invisible) can as a body politique neither make nor take homage: Vide 33 Hen. 8. tit. Fealty, Brook. 5. In fide, in faith or ligeance nothing ought to be feigned, but ought to be ex fide non ficta .
Calvin's Case aka Case of the Post-Nati
Sovereign citizens around the world (Occupy Globally) demand debt free interest free money
The fiat monetary system is providing interest free money. That's the problem! It's why folks can't save for their future and it's what enables the government to steal from the present and future earning of the people.
Hogwash. This is a nonsensical post by someone who is profoundly uninformed or trying to spin. Sounds like the latter to me.
See, for example, Ten Ways the Occupy Movement Changes Everything
This is a global movement that has gone viral. It's not going away anytime soon.
As the weather gets cold, the OWS movement will need to transition to indoor activities. Here are some suggestions:
Demand debt free money such as HR2290. (Using debt as money is insane.)
Stop supporting the system you rebel against.
Use Gold and Silver for store of value.
Learn more about the problems and solutions:
Bill Still's Money Changers
FOFOA FreeGold
The OWS better come to grips with Jon Corzine and what this well connected democrat did to MF Global. MF Global has comitted the ultimate fraud on customer accounts and has effectively lost their $600 mil. If this is not the rallying cry for OWS they are clearly just a complete waste of time politically. It might then be concluded that this organization is nothing more than the 2012 Obama re-election campaign.
My sense is that this the group's primary mission.
This article blows. It's written by the same kid who would remind the teacher to assign homework just as the bell rang. It's also written like shit and if I had to guess I would say whoever wrote it probably has parents making over 100k. Probably trying to get hired by Morgan Stanley. I hate the those fucking kids just like I hate Econmatters because I never wanted to homework and I sure as shit don't want to read about how Occupy Wall St. should relent and not draw attention to how utterly FUCKED up and debaucherous our financial system continues to be. What's next? SHould people stop posting anti Wall St exposition on the internet? Maybe I should just say "Hey it's cool that the average CEO makes 240 times what his employees do." Let's just keep our fucking mouths shut and not even give these jerkoffs a hard time. I found the following consumately offensive (moreover there is an issue with the subject verb agreement that even a monkey with wet AMD could spot while rolling a blunt) :"The longer it spread and goes on in a disruptive manner without a clear and definitive mission, and solution, the more likely other parts of the society will start turning against it. Time to regroup before falling flat on its face once the red carpet gets abruptly pulled out.
Why does everyone need thinks to fit into neat consumer friendly packages? THE PROTESTS ARE A LITTLE VAGUE SHUT THE FUCK UP NOW. GO BACK TO YOUR MAC LAPTOP AND LEARN ENGLISH VERB CONJUGATIONS. IF YOU COME UP SHORT ON THE FUCKING RENT JUST CALL MOM DUKE.
Here is what I wish an article might read:
Posing as wealthy arab investors, Occupy Wall St. simultaneously takes over Goldman and CNBC headquarters and is deforming upper managment's genitals with blow-torches and acids. They aren't negotiating but FBI can hear porn soundtracks playing loudly to drown out screams. The assailants are entering all sorts of crazy fucking trades always in lots of 666. Supporters have come to cheer them on and throw eggs at the police waiting anxiously outside. The standoff is tense there could be some casualties and hurt penises.
Reggie, do you think it is ok for the star of a movie to make 240 times what a craft services person makes? Is it ok that Peyton Manning makes 240 times the person in the ticket booth?
Prices are a function of supply and demand. Your perverse sense of morality has nothing to do with it. People deserve to earn what their talents enable them to earn.
If pay scales are to be determined by so-called fairness then you owe a whole lot of money to starving Ethiopian kids.
Just to clarify, were you replying to me or Reggie? Because it looks like it is indented under my comment. My questions of Reggie were an attempt to find out what his beliefs are, I don't think any assumption of my morals could be based on those questions.
I was speaking to you.
Let's try this. Suppose I spend 5 minutes a day sweeping the street and Dr. Jones works 20 hours a day for thirty years discovering a cure for certain types of cancer. Do you seriously believe that I am entitled to earn a set percentage of his earnings based on some "fairness" recipe?
Start here: People own themselves. So far, so good? If you own yourself and you perform labor then the fruits of those labors must belong to you, right?
Now rethink your wage "fairness" doctrine and get back to me.
Really? I ask questions to refine what an Occupy supporter believes and you say I have a perverse sense of morality? Are you familiar with the Socratic method? I am not advocating in favor of wage "fairness" and I have no idea why you assumed I was based on what was written. If Reggie had taken the bait, I would have made a point similar to the one you made. For example, if I have apples, flour and sugar I can make an inedible mess, or through skill, knowledge and work, I can make a tasty apple pie. Should both people receive the same wage? (Double plus bonus points if you know where this example comes from.)
Please excuse my hastiness. I misunderstood your post when I assumed that your questioning of Reggie was actually support for his arguments. My apologies.
No need to be sarcastic, I don't know what you believe, just trying to get you to explain. So what do you feel would be the correct multiplier that the top person vs. lowest person? 10x? 1x?
Reggie, you're a fuckin' idiot! I fire guys like you every day, good luck with your future as I'm fairly 100% certain you'll amount to what your are currently, a big fat ZERO!
You are in your dimwitted parlance "fairly 100% certain" of only the follwing: you GRIN before the DICK goes in your SALIVATING MOUTH. Admittedly, you do seem like an asshole boss type but I would never work for ANYONE EVER ESPECIALLY NOT SOMEONE WITH TATER IN THEIR FUCKING NAME. GO BACK TO THE OZARKS AND FUCK YOUR SISTER , THEN FINGER YOUR BROTHER/COUSIN, THEN MILK THE COWS. NASCAR ISN"T GOING TO LET YOU IN THE PIT CREW TATER BUT IF YOUR DAUGHTER/WIFE/COUSIN (FORGET MULLER"S RATCHET- JUST LOOK AT THE ROYALS) IS FLY I CAN HIT THAT(AND WELL). YOU ARE REALLY PROUD OF THE CAPACITY TO FIRE PEOPLE EVERYDAY WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE A PERSONALITY DISORDER AND NO FRIENDS. NO ONE TATER LIKES NOT EVEN ON THE INTERNET. Here is Tater: someone who you give a little bit of power to and he exercises it because he isn't too bright/has a small dick/parents don't love him/believes in god/loves opressing other to feel better about his own insecurties. It's the same with you people. You don't know anything about me and clearly do not have the inferential might to deduce/induce A FUCKING THING ABOUT THE NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN NAMED REGGIE HAMMOND.
Guess I struck a nerve huh Reggie? ALL CAPS EVEN! Yup, no friends, everyone hates me. I'm going to go back to my quarters, sip some very expensive liquor and marvel at the fact that I've earned all that I have, sleep like a baby and pay more in taxes in one month than you make (or will ever make) in a year, same goes to chairty. Neither of these though do I expect you to know or understand little man.
I hope you don't kiss your mother with that mouth Reggie (new sherriff in town) Hammond...I'm still laughing...! Man I love this blog!
MARVEL AT WHAT???? YOUR MICRO PHALLUS? YOU THINK YOU ARE BALLING ON THE INTERNET? TATER? OH YOU PAY TAXES? DAMN SON. SIP THAT EXPENSIVE LIQUOR (THE HALLMARK OF TRUE WEALTH-NOT) HOPEFULLY YOU WILL INTOXICATE YOURSELF AND BLOW A HOLE IN YOUR MONGOLOID FACE CLEANING YOUR GUN. RULE #1.......REAL PLAYERS DON"T TALK SHIT ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY MAKE ON THE FUCKING INTERNET AND REAL PLAYERS DON"T EVEN PAY TAXES. SO YOU ARE EITHER LYING, DELUSIONAL, OR A SUPER REPUBLICAN ASSHOLE COMBO. I REALLY LIKE IT WHEN YOU BRAG ABOUT YOUR RICHES AND CHARITABLE SIDE AFTER TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU LOVE FIRING PEOPLE JUST LIKE A TRUE SOCIOPATH. BUT YOUR HONOR MY SON LIKE ME MOLESTING HIM? SORRY TATER, JURY SAYS YOU ARE FUCKED. WHAT A GREAT GUY. DIPSHITS LIKE YOU EQUATE SOME SENSE OF WORTH, DIGNITY, OR ACCOMPLISHMENT WITH YOUR TAX RETURN SOLEY AND NOT CONTENT OF CHARACTER WHICH TRULY REDEFINES TERMS LIKE SHALLOW/MERCANTILIST/CAVE MAN/SELF AGGRANDIZING TURD. KEEP EARNING COMRADE. I FEEL GREAT KNOWING YOUR TAXES ARE LITERALLY PAYING PEOPLE PROTEST THE INIQUITY YOU DEFEND LIKE A COWARD. CHARITY TO YOU IS PROBABLY NRA, ANTI-ABORTION, OR PRO INCEST. YOU ARE A FUCKING JOKER WHICH SHOULDN"T REALLY DETRACT FROM THE POINT THAT No ONe GIVES A FUCK HOW MUCH YOU MAKE. ARE YOU REALLY TELLING ME ABOUT YOUR PRESONAL FINANCE IN ORDER TO INTIMATE THAT MY PERSPECTIVE IS LESS VALID BECAUSE YOUR NET WORTH IS HIGHER?? REALLY? I KNOW ALOT OF FICH PEOPLE AND NO ONE IS GONNA TYPE IT TO FEEL VALIDATED. THAT'S A PROBLEM COMRADE.THAT EXACT BRAND OF REASONING IS MAKING AMERICA SUCH A SHITTY PLACE TO LIVE. IT"S ZERO HEDGE NOT AN ESTATE PLANNING SESSION SAVE YOUR TAX TALK FOR FAT UNDERAGE TRANNY WHO MIGHT NEED A LOAN FOR GENDER REASSIGNMENT. TATER MAKES ALOT OF MONEY YA DIG? BRAG TO YOUR KINFOLK AND MOLESTATION VICTIMS. IS IT YOUR TAXES YOU PLAY MONTHLY OR CHILD SUPPORT (TATER DONE KNOCKED UP A TRANNY COON AGAIN)?? PAY YOUR TAXES MONTHLY THEN YOU PATHETIC LUMP OF SHIT. I WOULD ADVISE YOU TO KEEP PAYING YOUR TAXES BECAUSE THAT IS OBVIOUSLY AN IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR IDENTITY. TATER PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES!!!!!!!!!
So tell me about those pork bellies...
Clean up on aisle 5.
Free world? Yeah, right. The corrupt bankers go free and the cops are free to beat up on protesters and the banks are free to foreclose on homes the "considreation" [contractual term usage] of which consisted of punching in digits in someone's checking account. Let's cut out this free shit and tell it like it is...
It's way past time to give the Zucotti Park crowd a gasoline shower and light a fucking match.
So true Vulture, these guys are like Obama, a bunch of "post turtles". No idea what just happened, no idea how they got their, and the only one's dumber than them are the one's supporting them!
OWS supporters, eat my sack!
Well Econ you certainly have generated some nice traffic. But this will be the last time I read or click on one of your posts.
Say hello to Leo.
when you make a statement like this: " For example, if not for the OWS, it is doubtful the Penn State students would have resorted to rioting over a football coach who probably deserved to be fired in the first place based on reported accounts." you sound stupid. I guess ows is to blame for the riots in chicago after nba championships, etc.

Headers Give Your Ford Mustang More Power
Headers Give Your Ford Mustang More Power—that's a fact.
Aftermarket exhaust headers improve exhaust flow and cylinder scavenging compared to stock cast manifolds or tubular shorty headers. With that, most aftermarket headers (long-tube or short-tube) feature larger-than-stock and often longer primary tubes, and a performance collector design.
If this style header makes more power, why doesn't the factory use them? Fact is, very few factory vehicles are equipped with an exhaust system that's optimized for power. That's because tubular headers are more expensive to produce and they generally don't fit as tight to the engine, which would slow assembly at the factory.
And while every engine is different, a typical set of high-quality aftermarket headers, like those sold at BrothersPerformance.com can be worth 25-40 horsepower depending on your combination.
In this example, we installed BBK 1 ¾-inch long-tubes which feature 1 ¾-inch primary pipes that are CNC-mandrel bent, a thick 3/8-inch flange for solid sealing, and clean welds for strength and durability. In addition, they have a 2-bolt lower flange with a ball-and-socket collector so you never have to worry about old-fashioned header leaks. And all BBK header kits come with new gaskets, installation hardware, and detailed instructions.
If you're Coyote is really pumping out the power, you should consider the larger BBK 1 7/8-inch headers. These are more suited for max-effort naturally aspirated engines, supercharged engines or nitrous applications. It's important to mention that BrothersPerformance.com sells header and exhaust kits for all 1979-present Mustangs, including those with engine swaps.
When you make the move from shorty to long-tube headers, you'll need a shorter mid-pipe. Fortunately, BBK Performance sells a dedicated X-pipe to mate its long-tubes to virtually any Mustang exhaust. BBK's mid-pipes feature 3-inch Mandrel Bent Aluminized Tubing, oxygen sensor bungs. Unfortunately, they can't be sold or shipped to California residents.

Panama City Beach - Binders, markers, pencils, and crayons are all things the Risalvato kids are packing in their backpacks for the first day of school. Their mom Sarah says she enjoys preparing the kids for their first day back at school.
"On one hand its like we can't believe its here but on the other hand its been an unusually long summer so its a double edged sword mixed with emotions for it," said Sarah Risalvato.
Thomas will be entering the 5th grade and his younger sister Anna-Katherine is going into first grade at Patronis Elementary School. Both are eager.
"I'm excited to see some friends I didn't see over the summer and I'm also sad because I'm going to miss playing and having fun around here," said Thomas Risalvato.
"I like playing on the playground and doing math and writing," said Anna-Katherine.
But, unlike his sister Thomas is a senior on campus this year, and only the important classes matter.
"Probably lunch because its a break to eat and it's always fun to have time to talk with your friends," said Thomas.
That's why they helped their mom make them a well balanced lunch. The Risalvato's, like many families, have been preparing for the first day for almost a week.
"Several nights before school starts we certainty go to bed a little earlier and get into the routine," said Sarah.

Also known as Chinese Poppy of Yan Hu Sou, as used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a blood purifier and tonic. The herb corydalis just may end up replacing the use of hydrocodone for chronic pain relief. Chronic pain is persistent pain that is ongoing or recurrent for three to six months or more, resulting from disease or an injury. It is a pain that continues even though it should not.
Corydalis-Natural pain relief the wise way
How does it work? The natural pain reliever binds dopamine with the pain centers of the brain to apply chronic pain relief by blocking the pain signals. The cycle of pain can be hard to break and problematic. Research scientists are giving this herb a boost in reputation.
Particularly good for for back pain, migraines and menstrual cramping
Classic medications for chronic pain and its management are opioids, along with relaxation techniques, stretching and some activity, including positive self-talk and thinking. Corydalis does not cause dependence, and it is not addictive. This is good to know if you are concerned about long term use of prescription medications.
Just 3-9 grams of corydalis, in the granulated form, mixed in warm water, is fast acting. There is no need to wait for a pill to dissolve and go into your digestive system and then assimilate it for introduction into the blood stream.
Populations to avoid the use of corydalis, pregnant and Cardiac Arrhythmia

Divine Healing: Is It Scriptural?
by A.W. Pink
4. 2 Chronicles 7:14 Considered
"If My people which are called by My name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" (2 Chron. 7:14). This passage bears directly on our present subject and contains important and definite instruction for us. First, it shows that God sends physical judgments upon His people because of their transgressions. Second, it makes known what they are to do when the Divine rod falls upon them. Third, it contains a pertinent and precious promise for faith to lay hold of. Against this it may be objected that such a passage is not applicable to us; that God's dealings with His people in this Christian era are on very different principles than those which actuated Him under the Mosaic economy; that He dealt with them according to the Law, whereas He deals with us according to the riches of His grace. Such a contention is entirely unscriptural. God's governmental dealings are the same in all dispensations: maintaining the requirements of holiness and exercising mercy toward the penitent have ever characterized God's "ways." Had the O.T. regime been one of stern and unrelieved justice, there had been no "healing" promised upon repentance, for Law as such knows no pity and shows no mercy.
Let it be carefully noted that the teaching of the New Testament is precisely the same on this subject as in the Old Testament. "For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation (judgment) to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep" (1 Cor. 11:29, 30). The Corinthians had been guilty of profaning the Lord's table, turning the holy Supper into a carnal feast. God would not tolerate such irreverence and impiety in this dispensation any more than He would under the Mosaic, and evidenced His sore displeasure by visiting them with a temporal judgment, smiting them in their bodies. Thus this passage is strictly analogous to that in 2 Chronicles 7. But more, as there so here, the remedy is also graciously made known: "For if we would judge ourselves we should not be judged" (v. 31). If the Corinthians would unsparingly condemn themselves for their unseemly conduct and mourn over it before God, His judgment would be removed and the many weak and sickly ones recovered and not be made to "sleep" (die). If we sit in judgment on ourselves we shall not be judged by the Lord. "But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world" (v. 31): God chastening us here that we may escape eternal woe hereafter.
Let us return then to 2 Chronicles 7:14. There we find the Lord's people being dealt with for their sins. A temporal judgment bears heavily upon them: how is deliverance therefrom to be obtained? First, they must "humble themselves." And what is meant by that? The same as in 1 Corinthians 11:31, "judge ourselves." A word in Leviticus 26:41 will supply the needed help: "if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity, then will I remember My covenant." To "humble" ourselves beneath the rod of God is to cease asking, What have I done to deserve this? to stop resisting the rod, and meekly bowing thereto, acknowledging that my wicked conduct deserves it. David "humbled" himself when he owned "I know, O Lord, that Thy judgments are right, and that Thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me" (Ps. 119:75). To "judge ourselves" is to take sides with God against ourselves: not until we do so does the rod begin to obtain its designed effect. The "peaceable fruit of righteousness" is only obtained under Divine chastisement "unto them which are exercised thereby" (Heb. 12:11 )—exercised in their conscience. We must "hear the rod" (Micah 6:9) if we are to profit therefrom, and when we have heard its rebuking message, endorse the righteousness of it.
"If My people which are called by My name shall humble themselves": that is the first thing, and it is vain to proceed further until it be properly attended to, for pride is more hateful to God than anything else. "And pray" is the next thing. Until we have truly humbled ourselves before God there can be no real prayer, but having taken our place in the dust and condemned ourselves, then we may make known our requests unto Him. And what is it, under such circumstances, that we most need to pray or? Surely for a deeper sense of His holiness and of our vileness, for a contrite and broken heart for faith in His mercy, for cleansing and restoration to fellowship. Such requests issue not from the Pharisee, but they are the breathings of humility. "And seek my face": is that but a repetition of the previous clause? No, it goes further: it expresses increased definiteness, diligence and fervor. The omniscient One cannot be imposed upon by mere lip service: He requires the heart. There has to be more than a bare asking, namely, a "seeking," and such a "seeking" that we actually "draw near" and have a face-to-face meeting with Him we have displeased. God will not gloss over our sins, neither must we.
"And turn from their wicked ways." It was their departure from the paths of righteousness and entering into forbidden territory which brought down upon them the displeasure and rod of the Holy One, and therefore if they are to be delivered from His judgment they must of necessity forsake their sins. "Turn from their wicked ways" with loathing and abhorrence, with no secret reserve but with firm purpose of heart to abandon them and go back to them no more (Ps. 85:8). Repentance is something more than sorrowing over the past: it includes the resolution there shall be no repetition in the future. Idols must be destroyed and not put away in a cupboard from which they may be taken out again. "Then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." Here is the gracious promise. But mark well its opening "Then": only when its preceding conditions have been fully met: we have no warrant to look for its fulfillment until its qualifying terms are observed by us. Note too its scope: hearing from God is granted, forgiveness is assured, and healing is available for faith to claim.
"Then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" (2 Chron. 7:14). We have no time to waste on any who would raise the quibble that this verse refers to the healing of "land" and not of our bodies. But some who perceive that the principles of this verse are pertinent to cases of personal affliction will ask, Are we then to understand that where God has visited His people with temporal judgment and they have complied with the conditions He has here specified, He will in every instance remove that judgment; that He will bestow immediate and complete healing? Ah! the terms of that question go beyond the terms of that promise: 2 Chronicles 7:14 neither says that He would heal their land "immediately" nor "completely." Nor must we when pondering the subject of Divine healing confine ourselves to this particular verse. For instance, we read that the men of Jericho sought unto Elisha on behalf of their ground, saying "the water is naught and the ground barren." And we are told the prophet said "Bring me a new cruse and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. And he went forth unto the springs of the waters and cast the salt in them and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from hence any more death or barren land" (2 Kings 2:21).
God could have healed those waters without any salt, as He could have made sweet the bitter waters at Marah without bidding Moses to cast a certain tree into them (Ex. 15:23-25). Sometimes the Lord is pleased to use means, and at other times to dispense with them: for He exercises His sovereignty here as elsewhere. Perhaps some will say, this makes the subject more complex and hence more perplexing. Doubtless, and God may have so designed it. The natural man wants everything to be made smooth and easy for him. But God's way is to stain human pride, to make us feel our insufficiency, to drive us to our knees. God would have our hearts to be exercised before Him, and instead of assuming we must now act in the same way as we did before in a similar situation, look to Him for instruction and directions. "My soul wait thou only upon God, for my expectation is from Him" (Ps. 62:5).
God is sovereign and does not act uniformly, and we are both responsible agents and utterly dependent upon Him, and therefore must act neither irrationally nor presumptuously. God is sovereign: He did not always afflict Israel's land with drought or pestilence when they displeased Him, nor does He afflict the Christian's body each time he backslides or forsakes the highway of holiness. And when God did cause His judgment to fall upon Israel's land, He did not always remove His stroke as soon as confession of sin was made and reformation of conduct was affected; nor will He in every instance removed sickness when the afflicted one acknowledges his fault and does his "first works." And, as already pointed out, when God was pleased to heal Israel's land sometimes it was by blessing the means of His own appointing, and at other times it was without the use of any means at all. Thus it is when He heals our bodies. To one blind man Christ gave sight instantly, but to another He put His hands on his eyes a second time before he was fully restored (Mark 8:22-25).
Does some one say, All of this seems very confusing and gets me nowhere. No doubt it is so to the carnal mind. It is for the tried child of God we write and not for those who wish to be spared all exercise of heart, like patients going to a doctor for a prescription so that nothing is required of them but to hand it to the chemist for him to make up. As intimated at the beginning of the preceding paper, the first duty of the ailing Christian is to inquire into the occasion or cause of his sickness: whether it be due to imprudence or intemperance, whether God be chastening him for some breach of His Law, or whether there be some other reason for it, for afflictions are sometimes sent upon the saints for their refining and pruning rather than for correction, that they may yield some of the choicest of all the spiritual fruits. Thus the believer who desires light on his situation must wait upon the Lord and say "show me wherefore Thou contendest with me" (Job 10:2).
If the Lord has shown that the sickness is a mark of His displeasure because we have followed some wicked way, then our course is clear, namely, to conduct ourselves according to the requirements of 2 Chronicles 7:14. Having done so, then what? Appropriate its promise, yet meekly and not presumptuously. Having righted the wrong before God, having obtained His ear, now plead His Word. Say, Lord, I have sought to humble myself, pray, and seek Thy face, and renounce my wicked ways, and Thou assurest me Thou wilt forgive and heal me: do as Thou hast said. But Lord, I am a poor ignorant creature and knowest not Thy mind: what wouldest Thou have me to do? Is it Thy pleasure to lay Thy restoring hand upon me this very moment? If so, enable me to trust in Thee with all my heart; or wouldest Thou have me to use some means? if so, graciously direct my mind and hand to them and cause me to count upon Thy making them efficacious unto me, so that I may trust Thee and not them, that the glory may be all Thine own.

I have locale set for en_DK
Nautilus still displays non-standardized date-time format. Is there a way to make it behave and display ISO standard?
I think this may be related to the removal of date format options - details can be found in this question:
How to show full date and time in Nautilus/Files 3.6+ list view?
I'm using en_AU and expect dates formatted 1 Jun but see Jun 1 instead. Nautilus appears to ignore the locale. I'd prefer the choice of a full date, but it should at least conform to the locale.

Information on Federal Programs and Interagency Efforts That Support Small Businesses Engaged in Manufacturing
GAO-07-714: Published: May 18, 2007. Publicly Released: Jun 18, 2007.

(202) 512-4800
Small businesses engaged in manufacturing, typically those with 500 or fewer employees, comprise about 90 percent of all U.S. manufacturers and employ 6 million workers. Recent studies have shown that small manufacturing businesses face a number of challenges in their efforts to remain competitive, including the inability to obtain operating and investment capital, a lack of familiarity with new business practices, and difficulty in finding independent advice and skilled employees. To help these businesses overcome such challenges, many federal agencies provide financial and nonfinancial technical services through targeted or general programs or create interagency work groups to better coordinate their efforts and more effectively support these businesses. In this context, GAO identified (1) federal programs that provide services to support small businesses engaged in manufacturing and (2) federal interagency efforts that focus on issues of concern to small manufacturing businesses. To identify these programs and efforts, GAO obtained documentation from 19 federal agencies. In commenting on a draft of this report, 18 of the 19 agencies made technical comments that we have incorporated as appropriate. GAO is not making recommendations in this report.
GAO identified 254 federal programs that provide services to support the business sector, of which 5 provide services specifically to small businesses engaged in manufacturing and an additional 15 target manufacturers, regardless of their size. Seven of the 20 programs had data on the level of services provided to small manufacturing businesses, and between fiscal years 2004 through 2006 these programs provided over $35 million and served from about 8,000 small manufacturing businesses in 2004 to over 9,000 in 2006. The 5 programs that target small businesses engaged in manufacturing provide primarily nonfinancial technical assistance to help firms improve the efficiency of their manufacturing operations and their quality control processes as well as to solve specific manufacturing problems. These 5 programs also offer small manufacturing businesses general assistance with their strategic and business planning, accounting and financing, and sales and marketing. In addition, 1 of the 5 programs offers financial assistance. Of the 15 programs that provide services to manufacturers, regardless of their size, 9 offer only nonfinancial services similar to the 5 that target small manufacturing firms, and 6 also provide financial services. Small businesses engaged in manufacturing also can obtain services from 127 other federal programs that are available to all small businesses, regardless of their business type. Many of these programs provide general business and management services, and about 35 percent also offer financial services, such as loans or grants. Finally, small manufacturing businesses can obtain general business, export, and financial services from an additional 107 federal programs designed to help the business sector in general, regardless of the size or type of the business involved. Because not all of these programs gather data on the size of the businesses they serve, it is unclear how many small manufacturing firms received services from these general programs. GAO identified 20 federal interagency efforts that focus on supporting the business sector. Of these 20 efforts, 4 were created specifically to focus on the challenges that small businesses engaged in manufacturing face, and 2 were created to focus on issues relevant to manufacturers in general, regardless of their size. The agencies involved in 3 of the 4 interagency efforts that focus on the concerns of small manufacturing businesses collaborate to expand and coordinate their services through national networks of technical assistance centers. The 4th effort involves efforts to help small manufacturing businesses improve the efficiency of their operations. The 2 interagency efforts that focus on issues relevant to manufacturers in general focus on developing strategies to improve the competitiveness of manufacturers and resolving issues associated with manufacturing-related research and development policies, programs, and budgets. The remaining 14 interagency efforts that GAO identified focus on the concerns of small businesses or of all businesses in general, which may include some issues that also are of concern to small manufacturing businesses.

Larry Johnson called his coach a name via his twitter account, and again to reporters. The issue took on a life of its own because he used what some think is a slur. Is this really what society has become? You use a word and you're decried as a bigot?
He got suspended by the Chiefs for two weeks, and we can only HOPE that its because he called out his coach and was disrespectful in that regard, and not because of the word he used.
What is even stupider is that the major media outlets won't repeat the word in print or verbally out of fear they'll offend someone.
So just what is this hideous word? Fag.
For the record, in British slang a "fag" is a cigarette. It can also mean to tire by strenuous activity : exhaust <fagged by the strenuous climb>, toil, to act as a servant to an older schoolboy, and that other definition.
Lets suppose for a minute - in the context that LJ wrote his post (that Todd Haley had never played football and didn't know as much as his father) - he actually was using the definition that he was acting as a servant to the father and hadn't mastered the game yet.
Would that make you feel differently about it?

Michael Nyqvist plays Mikael Blomkvist
One of Sweden's most beloved actors. Michael Nyqvist graduated from the Swedish Academic School of Drama. After working mainly in theatre he landed smaller parts in several different film productions. His first big breakthrough came in 2000 with the film TOGETHER by Lukas Moodysson. The movie reached great international success and Nyqvist won a Best Actor Award at the Gijon International Film Festival.
He went on to play leading parts in award-winning movies such as THE GUY IN THE GRAVE NEXT DOOR (2002) d by Kjell Sundvall for which he won a Guldbagge Award (Sweden's equivalent of the Oscars) for Best Actor for his performance, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN (2004), by Kay Pollak, DAY AND NIGHT (2004), by Simon Staho and SUDDENLY (2006) by Johan Brisinger. The cast from DAY AND NIGHT won a Silver Hugo Award for Best Ensemble Acting at the 2004 Chicago International Film Festival. Michael shared this award with his THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO co-star, Lena Endre. He also starred in LONDON VOODOO (2004) with his other DRAGON co-star, Sven-Bertil Taube.
Nyqvist has most recently starred in THE BLACK PIMPERNEL (2007), ARN: THE KNIGHT TEMPLAR (2007), THE KAUTOKEINO REBELLION (2007), and DOWNLOADING NANCY (2008). His latest project is ANGLAVAKT.
Always in the running for playing the part of Mikael BLOMKVIST, it was Nyqvist's charisma that suited the role the most. Director Neils Arden Oplev found the match he was looking for – someone who had the right looks, the charm and the likeability factor.

I was excited to hear that there was a new Limited Edition flavor of M&Ms in stores for the holidays this year: Cinnamon M&Ms. Cinnamon specifically isn't a specific holiday flavor that comes to mind, as it's usually combined into "Holiday Spices" that I see so often this time of year. Nevertheless cinnamon is indeed evocative of this time of year, and I applaud M&Ms for giving us a new flavor option for the season. A quick trip to Target, where I believe this flavor is sold exclusively at, and I had these beauties ready to review.
The bag is very festive. With a deep maroon background featuring Green in a cute silver hat and scarf combination. She's hugging some cinnamon sticks held together with a bright crimson bow. It's beautiful how it keeps in theme with both the holiday and cinnamon spice theme. Green is always an excellent spokeswomen for the new flavors too, who can resist her?
The M&Ms are pretty and they are larger than the plain ones, but smaller than the peanut or pretzel varieties. They come in two colors, maroon and red. I like how they're both holiday colors and colors that one often sees with cinnamon flavors.
The flavor is subtle. Which I am relieved about as I was expecting it to be a powerful taste. Instead you first taste the chocolate, with it's sweet notes and chocolatey tones. Then the cinnamon flavor kinds in as the shell starts to melt and crack. It's a nice cinnamon flavor, it's neither hot or spicy. Combined with the chocolate it's a sweet, holiday flavor that mild but noticeable.
I can see these as an adorable festive candy for a candy dish, or just as a snack if you're looking for something a little different. I think they'd be very pretty mixed with the Mint ones they also release this time of year. So if you're interested to see what cinnamon and chocolate taste like together, I recommend trying these as they're at a very "beginner" level for chocolates with a twist to them. I very much liked this flavor and hope they bring it back next year.

Player of the Day: Jim Baxter
Scottish legend in the spotlight.One of the finest players of his generation, Jim Baxter will be forever remembered by Scottish football fans as arguably the best the Tartan Army have produced.
At Sunderland, the cavalier character showed his genius in glimpses as he edged towards the end of his career but his quality still left its mark on the Roker faithful.
Born in Fife, Baxter began his career with Raith Rovers before moving to Glasgow Rangers in 1960 for a fee of £18,000.
In five years at Ibrox he won three league titles, the Scottish Cups and five Scottish League Cup titles as well as being a finalist as Rangers made the European Cup Winners' Cup final in 1961, only to be defeated by Fiorentina in the final.
Ian McColl signed Baxter in May 1965 as the Black Cats parted with £72,500 to secure his services.
His home debut, a 4-1 win over Sheffield United, in which he scored two goals, the second of which as good as any he scored in a Sunderland shirt, was the benchmark for his debut season.
He followed up his home debut with a further 37 appearances over the course of the campaign and five more goals, including strikes in wins over Aston Villa and Chelsea.
Baxter scored on the opening day of the 1966-67 season as the Black Cats lost 3-1 to Arsenal at Roker Park, though, his most notable contribution of the campaign would be in a Scotland shirt.
In April 1967, Scotland defeated a World Cup winning England side 3-2 at Wembley with Baxter's breath-taking display in the game receiving widespread plaudits.
Jim made just another 18 appearances for Sunderland before moving to Nottingham Forest for £100,000 in December 1967.
He returned to Rangers in 1969 before retiring a year later.
Capped 34 times by the Tartan Army, ten of which were during his time with Sunderland, Jim sadly passed away in 2001 at the age of 61.

Cherryholmes: A Bluegrass Family Affair
Songs from 'Cherryholmes'
'Workin' Man (Nowhere to Go)'
'Red Satin Dress'
'No One to Sing for Me'
It hasn't taken the family band Cherryholmes long to rake in accolades. They scored an upset at last year's International Bluegrass Music Awards, and their self-titled album is up for a Grammy Award on Feb. 8.
Craig Havighurst of WPLN reports that Cherryholmes' sudden success grew out of a tight-knit family unit and an old-fashioned work ethic.
The band goes by the family's surname, and got its start after Jere and Sandy Cherryholmes took the family on a road trip to a bluegrass festival. The trip was meant to be a spirit-lifter after the death of their daughter Shelley.
The festival inspired the couple, who were homeschooling their children, to add music to the educational agenda. Molly and B.J. played fiddle, Skip played guitar. Eldest sister Cia, 22, took up banjo and became the band's singer and songwriter as well.
Now, after only four years of performing, Cherryholmes have been signed to country star Ricky Skaggs' label. The family's tour bus is headquartered in Goodlettesville, a suburb of Nashville, Tenn., where they moved two years ago. But the bus is rarely in the driveway — the Cherryholmes family is on a stage most nights of the year.

[groovy-dev] groovy compile issue and fix
Aadi Deshpande <mailinglists@...>
Hi, I noticed that under my installation ( Fedora Core 3 / Blackdown/Sun JDK 1.4.2 / Eclipse 3.0.1 ) I noticed whenever I referenced classes from my classpath that included my own jars, I would not be able to compile the classes, nor would I see what was wrong. I took a look at the source code and noticed that the logic for the classpath builder in GroovyProject was misaligned, causing it to not work ( i.e. the resource was always not null , and would not be added to the classpath ) Additionally, it was appending window file separators that will not work on unix environments. I have included a patch that resolves both these issues. I'm not sure what jira issues they map to, so I apologize in advance for that. Thanks, -a

"#DidYouKnow we now offer a Hidden Menu? Check out our fresh twist on some of your favorite menu items."
With that January 9th tweet, Panera (@panerabread) announced a new secret menu to its Twitter followers.
As of February, the menu was still hidden. The stores offer no clue, but if you ask, they're happy to take your order. Ask.
The Hidden Menu has six "Power" meals. That means they have fewer calories, "limited processed carbs," and are an "excellent source of protein." They're also free of salty, fatty ingredients like cheese, commercial salad dressing, and fried tortilla strips.
For breakfast, try the Egg White Bowl with Roasted Turkey (and baby spinach, roasted red bell pepper, and pesto). It's got 190 calories, 25 grams of protein, only 1 gram of saturated fat, and no bread or other refined carbs. Sodium (500 milligrams) is the only downside.
For lunch, choose from the Chicken Hummus Bowl, Mediterranean Chicken Salad, Mediterranean Roasted Turkey Salad, or Steak Lettuce Wraps. All have 280 to 360 calories and 22 to 35 grams of protein. The sodium (310 to 590 mg) is surprisingly low for a restaurant lunch. (Exception: the Roasted Turkey has 830 mg, but you can trim it to 380 mg if you skip the olives and pepperoncini.)
The olive oil packet holds a tablespoon—the perfect amount to complement the fresh-squeezed lemon juice that comes on the salads.
Don't eat meat? Panera is often willing to swap ingredients. Psst. Pass it on.

"Ladyfinger cookies soaked in espresso and coffee liqueur layered with Mascarpone, dusted with cocoa powder and served with chocolate shavings." That's how Maggiano's Little Italy describes its Tiramisu.
And when it arrives at your table, you won't think "big splurge." It's not a towering slice of cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory or a pizza-sized cookie from Uno Chicago Grill. Tiramisu looks like, well, a mini-splurge.
That diminutive rectangle holds 830 calories and 28 grams of saturated fat (1½ days' worth) plus 15 teaspoons of sugar. Gulp.
Who would guess that it's about equal to a Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pepperoni Pizza topped with a half cup of Häagen-Dazs Coffee ice cream? Or a dozen Dunkin' Donuts Glazed Munchkins doughnut holes?
And we're guessing you didn't show up at Maggiano's just for dessert. So those 830 calories—okay, 415 if you share your tiramisu with a friend—come after you've polished off your entrée (800 to 2,400 calories), which may have come after your appetizer (600 to 1,700 calories). Talk about higher math!
Despite its dainty-ish looks, tiramisu is never a light dessert. Even so, Maggiano's version manages to top the tiramisus at other popular Italian chains like Romano's Macaroni Grill (690 calories) and Olive Garden (510 calories).
It may be Maggiano's Little Italy. But the menu makes for big patrons.

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
The venture capital funds of two pharma giants have taken a stake in Nimbus Discovery, joining with two earlier investors to help the biopharmaceutical company secure close to $24 million in series A financing.
Proceeds from the financing will be used to accelerate existing programs targeting IRAK4 and ACC in inflammation, cancer, and metabolic disease, as well as expand the Nimbus pipeline to include new targets for several medical conditions. IRAK4 plays a pivotal role in inflammatory disease, allowing the Nimbus drug candidates to be pursued in a broad range of therapeutic applications. Humans with inactivating IRAK4 mutations are resistant to autoimmune disease but are otherwise healthy in adulthood.
SR One, the corporate venture arm of GlaxoSmithKline, and Lilly Ventures, a venture fund associated with Eli Lilly & Co., co-led the round along with Atlas Venture. The investments fit with Nimbus' goal of partnering with larger pharmaceutical companies early in the development process, so that Nimbus can focus on drug discovery.
In connection with the financing, Kent Gossett, M.D., Ph.D., partner at SR One, and Steve Hall, Ph.D., venture partner at Lilly Ventures, have joined Nimbus' Board of Directors.
Also participating in the series A round was Bill Gates. The Microsoft founder-chairman and philanthropist joined in March on an extension of an earlier seed financing round of undisclosed value with Atlas and Richard A. Friesner, Ph.D., professor of chemistry at Columbia University and co-founder of Schrödinger, a developer of chemical simulation software for computational drug discovery.
Schrödinger – the recipient of a $10 million investment from Gates --has partnered with Nimbus in a drug discovery collaboration. Within the first year of that effort, Nimbus has delivered compounds for two disease targets the company considers to be pivotal in the progression of an aggressive form of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and obesity.
Last year Atlas joined with Schrödinger, to raise $3.5 million for Nimbus in a seed round. Atlas and Schrödinger co-founded Nimbus in 2009.

Social media has taken the marketing industry by storm and has emerged as a subsidiary: social media marketing. Social media marketing has become very popular among Business-to-Consumer and Business-to-Business companies alike. The following are four ways in which your company can benefit from taking your company's marketing efforts to social media.
Get to Know Your Consumers
Businesses are taking their marketing efforts to where their consumers are: social media. Finding ways into consumers' personal lives provides immense benefits for businesses. With social media, companies are able to see what their consumers' interests are and what characteristics of companies they find most valuable.
Creating ways for customers to reach out to your company will give opportunities for relationship building, allowing your business to become more than just a name. Building relationships with consumers ensures they come back to you for their needs, choosing you over another competitor every time.
Provide Exceptional Customer Service
Social Media has also provided a new means for customer service. If used effectively, social media will allow companies to respond quickly to any customer complaints. While on a public platform, companies have an opportunity to correct any wrongs and provide the customer with exceptional customer service for all consumers to see.
Gain Brand Recognition
Reaching consumers has never been easier than with social media. Providing a way to gain recognition and increase follower growth, social media gives companies new and creative ways to get recognized.
A popular tool companies use is product giveaways where consumers become eligible upon "sharing" the company's post. Having consumers "share" a post gives the company incredible amounts of exposure and all at the cost of giving away one product.
Increase Your Sales
Social media provides a channel for exclusive deals for your products, which consumers will find valuable. Gaining followership on social media sites is often the hardest part of social media start up, giving away products, using contests, or providing deals will get consumers to your social media sites for those extra savings.
Once you've gained their followership, you're able to use this valuable opportunity to gain a dedicated consumer and increase your sales. Using social media analytic tools, such as Google Analytics, will provide you with your return on investment (ROI) of your social media efforts, so you will be able to see first hand, in hard numbers, how social media is benefitting your sales.
These four ways are not the only options for benefitting from social media. Social media has emerged as a new channel, an effective technological tool to reach your consumers. Though not as rich as a face-to-face conversation, the benefits of this creative communication channel are endless. These endless possibilities are what makes social media so fun for creative marketers. Allow your imagination to run wild and you will see just how far social media can take you.

Astronomy Colloquium
The standard model of planet formation has difficulties explaining some of the features observed in our Solar System. Of particular note, it predicts that Mars should be as massive as the Earth. In addition, it has difficulty in building the cores of the giant planets before the nebula disappeared. Here, I will argue that current models of planet formation are missing two important processes- planetesimal-driven migration and collisional grinding. I will present new simulations that include these processes. Preliminary results suggest a heretofore unknown and radical mechanism for building the outer planets.

The science journal Environmental Research Letters published a report stating that famous landmarks such at the Tower of London, the Statue of Liberty, and the Sydney Opera House, will be lost to rising seas caused by global warming. The researchers conducted a study to determine how many of the 720 world heritage sites would be affected as ice sheets melt and warming oceans expand. With just 3°C of warming, over 1/5 of the sites will be swallowed up by seas over the next 2000 years. Some places, like Venice, are already being affected by rising sea levels.
On March 7, a report was released, Leading from the Middle: How Illinois Communities Unleashed Renewable Energy. The World Wildlife Fund, the Illinois Sierra Club, The George Washington University Solar Institute, and other organizations contributed to the report which says that Illinois is using more renewable energy sources than any other state. So far, 91 communities provide 100% renewable energy to their citizens. That means 1.7 million people -- out of a population of not quite 13 million -- get their power from wind, solar, or other green energy sources. Illinois is one of six states that allow community choice aggregation (CCA), which means communities can use their bulk purchasing power to get bids from energy companies. Bid requests can stipulate the mix of energy sources -- or even mandate that only renewable sources may be used.
President Obama used his executive authority to expand the California Coastal National Monument (CCNM) to include the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands on the Mendocino Coast. It is the first land-based addition to the CCNM and permanently protects over 1660 acres of beach, bluffs, and the Garcia River estuary. It is also home to rare and endangered species like the coho salmon, steelhead, the Point Arena mountain beaver, and the Behren's silverspot butterfly.
Unseasonably warm weather increased the air pollution in Paris, producing a record-setting smog in the middle of March. Over the weekend, the city offered free public transportation and bike sharing to encourage people to not use their cars. The smog persisted, so on March 17, Paris and 22 surrounding areas banned cars and motorcycles with even registration numbers from the road. Electric vehicles, hybrids, and cars carrying more than three people were exempted. The ban lasted only a day. The Minister of Ecology Philippe Martin noted that 90% of Parisians followed the rules, and said the ban was lifted because of changing weather patterns.
Three EU member countries, Bulgaria, Estonia, and Sweden have already met their renewable energy goals for 2020. Sweden gets 51% of its energy from renewable sources, putting it ahead of all the other countries in the EU. Only Norway, which isn't an EU member, gets a higher percentage of its energy from renwables. Twenty of the 28 countries in the European Union are more than halfway towards their 2020 goals. By contrast, Malta, Luxembourg, and U.K. are behind. The European Union countries, on average, get 14.1% of their energy from renewable sources. The EU has a stated goal of their members getting 20% of their energy, on average, from renewables by 2020.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science launched a campaign to help people understand the dangers of climate change. They published a 28-page report called What We Know. It emphasizes three items: 1) 97% of climate experts have concluded that climate change is real and that humans caused it; 2) climate change may have unpredictable and abrupt impacts; and 3) the sooner we respond, the less severe the consequences will be.
The Obama administration announced an initiative to provide private companies and local governments easier access to public climate data. Said initiative is a clearinghouse website for climate data that opened on March 19. It will provide people with localized climate data. There will also be computer simulations that will demonstrate the consequences of rising seas and other scenarios. High-tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Intel will provide tools to help communities deal with extreme events like droughts or floods.
Four years after the BP Deepwater Horizon oil and gas disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lifted the ban that had forbidden BP from engaging in any contracts with the federal government, thus allowing BP to bid on leases for gas and oil development on public lands and waters, including the Gulf. BP already holds over 600 lease blocks -- and there are dozens of other companies working in the Gulf. Not long after the ban was lifted, NOAA scientists reported that crude oil was linked to heart defects and other deformities in the larvae of bluefin and yellowfin tuna.
On March 22, a ship collided with a barge carrying roughly 4,000 barrels of bunker fuel oil in Galveston Bay, Texas, causing an oil spill. As a result, 200,000 pounds of oiled sand and debris stretched along 22 miles of Texas coast shoreline. The Houston Ship Channel was closed for three days. Areas around the spill provide crucial stopover points for migratory birds, including the extremely rare whooping crane. Other affected birds include ducks, herrings, herons, pelicans, plovers, sanderlings, willets, and loons. Marine life has also been affected, leading some fishermen and bait shop owners to sue. A federal judge ordered the seizure of the cargo ship, ordering it to remain in the area as a Coast Guard investigation determines who was at fault for the collision.
On March 31, the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its latest report, which is part of a larger report called the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) that has been coming out in stages. The first stage had concerned the science of climate change and this second stage, Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability, describes the impacts of climate change.
