"Conservatives and Liberals Agree: End the Malignant, Symbiotic Relationship Between Big Government and Big Corporations"
Still trying to re-arrange the deckchairs on the Titanic GW ?
"...many pretend that liberals and conservatives are too far apart to work together, there are actually many issues on which everyone can agree."
It's sad enough that every new generation of youth think that they can make a few adjustments and Govt will change. What's even sadder is older folk like GW still keep banging their heads up against a brick wall time and again thinking (?) just a regulation here, a new rule there, will turn the rotten tide of 'democracy'
"..liberals and conservatives look at the government's approach to the financial crisis as socialism for the rich and free market capitalism for the little guy."
Eh?!! Boy are these lib-cons confused... even running 'socialism for the rich' our corrupt Parasite Club still operate under capitalisms economic rules... that's why socialists always go bankrupt.
The real oppression of the little guy (eg. the positive contribution taxpayer and small businesses) only takes the form of robbery (Govt taxation). And it's the little guys choice to continue contributing to the socialism of propping up the bankrupt elite and keeping them rich. It's not the relationship between politician and crony businessmen that worries me, it's the idiot taxpayer continuing to fund their relationship
It's no good you speaking up for the little guys oppression when he/she is actually contributing to the systems continued existence in paying their taxes dutifully/compliantly ....the little guys continued stupour of paying taxes is the single BIGGEST part of the problem
..it's about time the PEOPLE took responsibility for their funding of these illegal wars, these perverse bailouts, this most corrupt of all stinking systems in history, paying taxes to democratic Govt
zero Tax = zero Govt = zero Problems
It's no good you speaking up for the little guys oppression when he/she is actually contributing to the systems continued existence in paying their taxes dutifully
Quit paying taxes tomorrow, but fail to take away their printing presses, and nothing changes. Nice premise you have there, but it only fixes a part of the problem.
Suggest you read "The Creature from Jekyll Island"
how many new steve jobs would we have in the future if students worked making iphones here putting themselves thru colledge
While we rush to purchase another million new iphones and make a movie about the greatest American icon (Steve Jobs), reflect on the slave child labor Apple uses to make all its products. Isn't Steve Jobs just a current day slave trader.
Unfortunately, this R/L populist alliance against the ZOG isn't (yet) possible. For one thing (HardLeft Alex Cockburn at Counterpunch, e-mail to this writer), "the left is chicken, too afraid of the Right"); also: while the Right understands that Big Socialism and Big Capitalism are a symbiosis, you have to get rid of both, the Left perists in its delusion that you can curb crony capitalism by piling on more gov't. The twain just don't meet. Yet. Actually, I think Cockburn may be "Right": we are going to devour the Left.
Nice summary GW. Capitalism can work reasonably well if it is instituted in an equal, fair, honest, transparent, responsible and accountable manner. The first step would be to remove the crooks from government, limit the powers of the FED and severely punish the law breakers in the private as well as public sector.
The Fed and it's dishonest monetary system is the root of the problem. Everything else is a symptom or an action in support of it. Unless you eliminate the problem the symptoms and insidious actions will continue. Wake Up. END THE FED!!
There are two types of people. Those who want to be free and left alone and those who want to control you. Nothing has more weight and who would you choose?
See: RAPE OF THE REPUBLIC
The Kids Art Alright. But Don't Get Fooled Again
OccupyWallStreet's Young People are the tip of the spear in America's awakening. They are demonstrating what is our birth right. We The People must take up our Patriotic Duty and demand the restoration of The Rule of Law, Our Constitutional Democracy, Free Market Capitalism and an Honest Monetary System. It is the only path to true and lasting change!... Wall Streets crimes and Washington's complicity make them legitimate targets... They are however, the minions for a larger more evil construct. That is a monetary system that demands constant growth of debt and war. And that criminal enterprise is controlled by the central banks THE FED and those behind them.
- OccupyWallStreet: The Kids Are Alright! ...but Don't Get Fooled Again - See our respons to OccupyWallStreet's First Public Statement.
Capitalism can work if it was fair, honest, responsible, accountable.....is like saying communism can work if leaders were not corrupt, power hungry, and not using idealogue for their own benefit.
power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. In communism, central planners had absolute power over state assets. In capitalism, capitalists had absolute power over private assets. Whether an "asset" is in private or public hands doesn't really matter. If one person holds all the power, they will abuse it. concentration of capital is as dangerous as concentration of state powers.
I guess you've never known people who are honest and ethical and will stick to their principles no matter what. Sorry to hear that. Furthermore, we are trying to improve the system as we all agree "perfection" is not possible. The changes mentioned above along with stronger penalties would go a long way towards doing that. If you still don't believe this, then please present to us your ideas of a "new system".
The poor Fed is just doing what it must to continue its preparations for the end of the dollar. It must and will fight it to the end but also must prepare for that morning when we wake to that new world when the last person on earth takes the last dollar out of their wallet and replaces it with....
This is heresey here at ZH but consider if it was the Amero. A nice fiat that could be treated like all other fiats, inflated to the end again. Along side would be gold, not part of any money system but available in all money systems of free countries. If the folks do not like their current fiat they switch to gold, forcing the fiat to behave if only a little. By this time however all paper gold assets have been seen to be the frauds they are and all gold trades must be physical. It has a much higher price and value. Oil trades in any currency in which gold is guaranteed.
Fiat for the soft money/ debtors, gold for the hardmoney/ savers and each of us is at some time a debtor and a saver. Welcome to the future.
hopefully we are witnessing the beginning of the end to this many headed beast. the markets are obviously telling the government and big banks that proping up their corrupt business' with artificial revenue gains and securities will not last. the people now publicly do not support any authority who attempt to keep this up and pathetically use the blame game.
but whats scary, as many users have pointed out, that these people will be so desperate to keep their game going they will attempt to remove any trace of democracy from the normal system. tighten your belts, its going to get real rough from here
DAS KAPITALism! JA!
If the government were a lot smaller and weaker there wouldn't be much for the corporations to buy.
Oh, oh.....
Who's lending? At any rate? I thought the banks were all focused on rounding up the in-default mortage holders...
Are "actions" property?
Like the seperation of church and state, peolple need to recognize, there is a need for sepration needed between capitol and state. Many argue the state needs some morality/church, but the basic seperation exists. this is not the case of the holy church of Capitol/ism. The state is now thought of by Insiders as a money machine. People do come to the State for advancing their Ideals of,or understanding of religion or individual faith. This must become the situation for Capitolism also. The premis that the State can guarentee an advantage in a capitol investment must stop.
The reliance on State sponsered schemes for capitolism seems to be the only way any buisness exists in America. This ideal of 'democracy=capitolism=free interprise is a fallacy when the State Tax and Central Bank is the source for all capitol that buisness depends on.
There is no seperation of Capitol from the U.S. State, there is no seperation of the State-Three parts,Federal Bank,private banks. Hanging signs on different doors, appointing new people, listening to speachs, arguements, new billws/regs.... nothing will change the fact that Central State/Federal Govt as become what all buisness depends on... or is eliminated by.
When the Fed Govt controls and directs capitol, it no longer is Capitolism, nor Democracy, nor free trade. The closest appoximation is Corpratism, and like Corporate Charters/ rights as theyexist today, their are few rights to the commoners and Insiders are the Benificiaries.
The Central/Federal Govt. has taken all rightsand chitcanned them to be subject to Insiders Wishes/profits.
America would collapse tomarro without the handouts from the Fedaral reserve. And the Insiders.. love it.
It can but be a short term plan.
Okay, separating the State from the Capitol will provide work to build a new capitol somewhere else than Capitol hill.
But once it is done, it will likely be similar, just a new place with a different name and it wont employ that much people.
Well George we agree. Having moneyed interests control the economy through the power of the police state is a BAD idea. I in fact don't think the current "liberal vs conservative" meme is anything more than a distraction that serves the interest of the powerful. The only real argument is central control or individual control (no matter what you call it - political law vs natural law, socialism/fascism/crony cap vs free market, or any of a dozen other formulations).
But here is where we diverge: how STUPID do you have to be to believe the way to address a corrupt system is to MAKE IT MORE POWERFUL? That is the current "progressive" agenda - criticize the system and fix it by giving it more power and more money. Never in the history of mankind has centralized power failed to become corrupted by the nomenkaltura. When either "liberals" or "conservatives" stop talking about fixing the problem with federal programs then this bullsit "we all agree at heart" might have some meaning.
fix leak by making it larger, fix debt by borrowing more, fix government by making it larger.
The technique of regulatory capture is to invent a third lie, the impartial regulator, whose job is to arbitrate between the two factions defending the two lies, all in the name of 'general good', whose hidden agenda is to occupy the terrain and ensure that precisely the opposite really occurs. Now the system is truly functional in its hegemonical dysfunctionality for the benefit of 'the happy few', international Oligarchs.
We are there in the real corrupted power world, behind the smoke screened virtual democratic, regulated world, of Congress and WS shenanigans; with regulators of bourses who allow direct opaque peer-to-peer dealings by PDs in 'dark pools', using HFT techniques massively. So called notational regulators who have looked the other way for decades, so called Congresional committees who have rubber stamped rampant fraud. And this whole gravy train is now totally out of control in the whole western world. There ain't no pilot in this plane...Happy landings, in Greece as elsewhere.
So if the Conservatives and Liberals agree to this symbiosis in Congress, they will execute as first act of true democracy that all these shills on Capitol Hill commit collective 'HAra Kiri' and leave the slate clean to a new generation. That would be the first signs of true honest governance.
I think your real close Falak. In New Hampshire, their was zero debate or notice pensions were cut by 50%. The media lockdown in this State is so tight, it wasn't even reported. I lived in this police state until 2004 and recently moved my business out. Instead of an income tax in New Hampshire they decided on using Family Law and police fines as indirect tax vehicle. The judges rule the State. In my last case I was in (fought the bastards to slow them down for a decade) they changed the court date with no notice and told me I defaulted.
Any person with a penis was the target as it was the radical feminists that ran for office in MA in the early 90's, was rejected and came to New Hampshire. Fuel assistance is being cut 50% too. NH is a Petri dish. It was worse than the Soviets.
Sounds like now its become the "Try to live free and you die" state, but I would expect this in the northeast. They should put that on their license plates.
Regulatory capture is a logical impossibility in a plutocracy. Since its birth in the bloodbaths of the French revolution, "democracy", and later its retarded cousin "comunism", has been the political weapon of the international plutocracy. Under the spell of "democracy" and "comunism" the masses vote for their own enslavement, commit atrocities with a clear conscience and sing on their way to the slaughterhouse. It is the perfect system of domination: the herd never notices the concentration camp behind the Disneyworld façade.
You may think its a logical impossibility, but in the real world, in democratically elected and republican ruled political systems; I leave aside your inconsequential rant on democracy being the retarded cousin of totlitarian communism; they require that justice "appears to be done". That is where the regulatory capture trick comes in useful as Machiavellian ploy, to create an aditional layer to the social-legislative cake, icing that is anything BUT neutral. Its a fact of life, time and time again. If Wikipedia devotes a whole section to it, this means that its reality can no longer be contested based on hard facts, not theoretical considerations.
Roubini's come out with a plan to end the new great depression:
I wish/hope/pray GW, that would be nice...The hurdles to this trip around the track will leave many twisted ankles and many hurt feelings...Seems emotion trumps logic concerning politics...Too many vested interests and way too much $ involved...Nothing separates people more viciously than $................
ok, so we have to realize that to self identify
as left or right is to self identify as a slave.
and a pretty fucking dim one at that. the term
fodder comes to mind.
communist sympathizer/operative
trying desperately to join the Tea Party with the flea party (blacks, jews, homos, illegals, communists, muslims, baby killers).
An amalgam of slobs bound together by nothing other than malevolent envy and hatred of Natural Law.
take a hike
Pond scum
You tell them brother...no wait, I am one of those malevolent envy homos that supports OWS and hates natural law. BTW who is Natual Law?
Somebody ban this despicable maggot. You're deserving of much worse than down arrows.
I have no doubt that Natural Law wins in the end, eventually. I also know several sheeple who, when faced with true liberty the responsibility for insuring their own well-being, especially in the in the chaos that is to come, would choose to walk into the gas chamber instead of pull the trigger. I guess it all depends how anyone thinks they will be judged or if that even matters to them.
Ugly little baby picture guy,
(can't read full name)
You should stay with your regular nazi schtick, it's way funnier. This one was good for some giggles, but nothing like the ones where you're goose-stepping.
ah yes. The Nazis. The gift that never stops giving.
No business like shoah business, hey jew?
Du bist ein scheisskop
I'm as Jewish as you are.
In a property rights system, one can not apply simple causality like the polluter has to pay.
Causality is mediated by property rights.
Food poisoning:
A food provider has a right to poison one's own food.
When sold, people are not poisoned by the food provider's food since property is a zero sum game. The food provide no longer owns the food. People are poisoned by their own food.
Half serious free marketeers do acknowledge that fact and come with the idea that poisoning food will be bad for business. Putting out of business food providers who poison their food before selling it.
Yet eating is an uncompromized human need. And there can be a demand for poisoning people. It is clear that US citizens would see favourably shipping poisoned food to certain places in the world.
And even without that, as the characterization of competition yielded out, creating your own concurrence is good for business.
All food providers share the common interest of poisoning certain food articles, adverstize it, not poison their other food articles and advertize it.
US citizenism is such a failure in what it does not foster clear thinking but always muddy thinking (or it might be a success)
Still funny how some US citizens love to claim that a free market that respect property rights would deal with pollution other than by making pollution a valorizing selling factor or that corporations infringe on property rights.
Monsanto when they say that farmers have to pay them when the farmers'seeds are contaminated by Monsanto's seeds apply perfectly property rights principles.
US citizens who claim that Monsanto has to be held responsible for the contamination, certainly not.
AnAnomous said: "Monsanto when they say that farmers have to pay them when the farmers'seeds are contaminated by Monsanto's seeds apply perfectly property rights principles."
So when my property runs you down in the middle of the street, I can claim damages that you inflicted upon my property?
It is funny how US citizens like to distort in an attempt of avoidance.
Cool. How? Please explain how property being a zero sum game is played in the example you called up.
From the very fact that pollution is not to be settled down the way US citizens claim it should be once mediated by property rights, they come up with unplausible cases.
My examples were explained, how the zero sum game part comes in.
Please explain yours. Lets have a bit of fun.
Once again, US citizens can not stand by their own actions. You want to put words into my mouth? Well, I put them back to where they belong, your mouth.
So please explain. Please enlighten people with how US citizens play the zero sum feature of property to achieve your result.
So when my fist hits your face are you liable for the damage to my knuckles for not getting the fuck out of the way? You shouldda seen it comin'...
I saw it coming.
US citizens love to sidetrack. So when the sun light hit your skin, the Sun is liable for the damage done to your skin...
Always the same with US citizens, their nature is eternal. They are preaching for a failing system and when the failure of their system hits them, they scream for others to be pushed under the train instead of themselves.
So yes, I saw it coming. Somehow, US citizens think they are innovative when they have not been able to innovate on their propaganda that has been debunked decades ago.
@"Monsanto when they say that farmers have to pay them when the farmers'seeds are contaminated by Monsanto's seeds apply perfectly property rights principles.
US citizens who claim that Monsanto has to be held responsible for the contamination, certainly not."
incorrect. monsanto is claiming property rights on a highly
probable mutation. this is not property but a characteristic
of property. it would be like me claiming that your home is
my property because the temperature of the dwelling is above
70 degrees and i can pay a judge to agree with me that dwellings
over 70 degrees belong to me. here the corporate judicial system
is merely pushing the populations to homicide in self defense.
it is not a question of property rights. where there is no
ethics or morality there are no rights. period. imo
How is it not property?
Property is a zero sum game.
Either this mutation is owned or it is not.
If Monsanto owns the mutation, it is owned by Monsanto.
If it appears elsewhere, people have to explain how they end with having it.
US citizens are funny, they might not even realize how cheap their propaganda is.
Their tricks are known and were debunked ages ago.
Here's the trick: unintended consequence against intended consequence.
I chose on purpose only intended consequences examples, examples showing that even with intent, property rights have consequences.
And US citizens come with unintended consequences which actually strengthen the segmentation of causality.
In a property rights system, ethics and morality have to be mediated by property rights. Morality and ethics do not exist outside the property rights system, they exist within it.
It is not the corporate judicial system that is pushing people to homicide in self defense.
Corporations apply property rights principles perfectly. You dont. You exclude them when you dont want to deal with them.
After reading three of your stupid posts it's clear how badly you need to take a class in logical thinking.
You Sir are a trolling Clown...Private property and even relatively free markets have shown to raise the standard of living of the populace WAY beyond anything comprehensible to the human race 100 years ago...I will gladly take private property and capitalism over tragedy of the commons and communism/fascism (they are really the same aren't they?)
and as far as your hate for america goes...Fuck off we have you electricity,cars planes, the lightbulb....and trillions of other things that make your life better then it otherwise would be...I don't give a fuck where you live..sure we got some problems But we will work them up as we always have...just like you should do Go back to your country rally the troops and lobby for a communist utopia...otherwise Piss off I would rather not have to see you fallacious arguements every 5 fucking comments don't like it? WELL HERE IS A SONG FOR YOUR PUNK ASS BITCH!
turn your speakers up!
Private property and even relatively free markets have shown to raise the standard of living of the populace WAY beyond anything comprehensible to the human race 100 years ago...
Really? More fabled past from US citizens.
US citizens performed the biggest land theft in human history and they still want to sell the idea that their booming is the consequence of private property respect.
The US has something more than any other and that is cheap propaganda.

What our customers say...
Thank you for such a nice easy transaction. I felt safe in the knowledge that I could travel to buy this car by the things that you did such as scanning and sending me a receipt and HPI check and photos of the service history and vehicle registration documents. The photos of the car were also numerous so I really knew what I was getting and it is in such great condition. A pleasure doing business with you. Thank you. J.H. Herefordshire.
First class customer service from a friendly, family run, professional and genuine company.
Happy to go the extra mile to ensure their vehicles exceed expectations. I would definitely recommend to family and friends and will most likely be returning to purchase my next car in a few years time M.J. Leeming Bar.
North Yorkshire Cars found exactly the type of car I needed well within my budget, at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend them to anyone. H.W. Guisborough.
A superb car at a superb price, thank you. J.K. Stokesley.
North Yorkshire Cars gave me free help and advice with my current vehicle, I will definately buy from them when needed, and have recommended others speak to them. G.L. Seamer.
I approached North Yorkshire Cars to find me a little run around for work. I gave them specifics in terms of wants and needs and through Gary's diligence came up with a number of options. He contacted me to advise me he had a Fiat Punto 51 plate, very low mileage for its age and one lady owner and in really top condition. What he presented to me was exactly what he said. In fact I would say it was better than he described it.
The little touch up jobs North Yorkshire Cars carried out, put it through a service and MOT before handing it over (they didn't have to do that as the existing MOT was still very much valid). It offered additional reassurances to me that I was getting a good car and exactly at the price I was looking to pay.
I have had the car for several weeks now and have put 6500k on the mileage already. It has proven to be reliable, economical fuel consumption and insurance wise. The car does exactly what I wanted a little run around to do and I am extremely grateful to North Yorkshire Cars for the service they provided.
R.W. Guisborough
Highly highly recommended, purchased a car the other day, great price... great service ... awesome ... wont go far wrong with NYC! B.D. Saltburn

College Hockey:Miami leaves unsatisfied, but RedHawks keep their chins up after regional loss
TOLEDO, Ohio — Perhaps a "down year" at Miami still is a pretty good year, but Enrico Blasi heard the critics loud and clear anyway coming into this season.
"There are some people in this room that didn't give us a chance — ever, any weekend," Blasi said.
2013 NCAA Midwest Regional
Follow all of our coverage from Toledo at Regional Central
NCAA tournament page, with bracket
The NCAA championship still won't be brought to western Ohio this year, but a regular season title and a regional final appearance make Blasi proud, even if he isn't satisfied.
"This isn't the end of the world," Blasi said. "There's 18 freshmen and sophomores; these two seniors and the senior class did an outstanding job. We won a championship. And we won a CCHA championship, which is hard to win. We got to a regional final, which is not easy to do. And we lost to a great St. Cloud team, too."
Perspective is important, for while Miami's eighth consecutive NCAA tournament appearance ended short of the final goal, the parity of college hockey and the bounce of a simple puck reign supreme. The agony of defeat is called that for a reason, but Blasi saw a bigger, comforting picture Sunday night.
"You know, we've been on the other side of things, too," he said. "I think you need to take the good with the bad. It stings right now — there's nothing that I can say to these guys right now that is going to make this any better, but on Monday when I design a championship ring for them, and they get one, that's special."
It's the end of the line for several of Miami's seniors, too. And Blasi had high praise for a group that could be seen as pioneers of Miami's surge in the last decade.
"This senior class has gone to a Frozen Four, won a Mason Cup, two regular season championships, and been in the national tournament four straight years," Blasi said. "You tell me why they should feel sorry for themselves. No way. I'm extremely proud of them; they've done a heck of a job, and they've left our program better.
"We have a statement in the locker room that says you leave the program better than you found it, and guess what, that's what they did. I'm extremely proud of this group."
"It was a great ride," said Steven Spinell. "Starting at the end of last season all through the summer. At the beginning of the year, I think we just came together quickly. It's been an amazing run and a great group to play with."
And Blasi knows that his underclassmen have bigger things in mind for the years to come, despite the absence of the seniors next season.
"We'll get back to work in a couple of weeks, and hopefully we'll be talking again a year from now, in a better light."

Hill, Edward W. et. al, Slanted pavement: How Ohio's highway spending shortchanges cities and suburbs. In Bruce Katz and Robert Puentes (eds.) Taking the high road: A metropolitan agenda for transportation reform. (Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press, 2005): 101-138.
The geographical distribution of transportation funding revenues has become a hot issue at both the federal and state levels.
In the last reauthorization of the federal transportation bill, numerous states and constituencies called for a revised system of allocating states' shares of the Highway Trust Fund-- more than 60 percent of which are generated by the federal gas tax. Some states argued that their shares of federal transportation dollars should be proportional to the amount of gas tax revenue they paid into the trust fund. Others wanted their shares determined by need. To a large extent both groups of states prevailed in obtaining greater equity.
In Ohio, and some other states, state transportation dollars flow to localities on the basis of neither of these standards for revenue distribution. The result in Ohio is a spatially skewed pattern of state transportation spending that is essentially anti-city and even anti-suburb. In effect, funds are diverted away from the very places that struggle with the greatest transportation needs and pay the most in gas taxes.
Hill, Edward W. and Jeremy Nowak, Policies to uncover the competitive advantages of America's distressed cities. In Iain Begg (ed.) Urban competitiveness (Manchester, UK: Public Policy Press, 2002).
This chapter is not about public policies directed at poverty alleviation: it is about re-establishing the competitive viability of distressed central cities. It discusses public policies that reconnect fiscally distressed cities to their regional economies through the fundamentals of economic development: land, labor and capital. The reason for this focus is that cities can help relieve the poverty of their residents only if they foster economic opportunity. The problem with too many central cities and fiscally distressed older (formerly) industrial and residential suburbs in the United States is that they have institutional structures, redistributive practices and political cultures that are more appropriate to the market positions they had in the 1940s and 1950s when most business transactions had to be completed within their municipal boundaries (Peterson 1981).
Hill, Edward W. and Jeremy Nowak, Nothing left to lose: Radical policy changes are required to uncover the competitive advantages of America's distressed cities, The Brookings Review Summer 2000): 23-26. ***
Portions of this article were reprinted as: Cities that have forgotten their regional economies: Strategies for America's distressed cities, Greater Philadelphia Regional Review, with Jeremy Nowak (Fall 2000): 8-11 and Wanted: A Camden exit strategy, Philadelphia Inquirer.
When we first started work on this article, we called it "Cities Forgotten by Their Regional Economies." But as we reflected more on the competitive position of distressed central cities, we realized that the title was wrong. Cities have not been forgotten by their regional economies; rather, all too often, the opposite has happened. Distressed central cities have not, or perhaps cannot, react to changes in their current competitive positions within their regional economies.
The urban employment renaissance of the 1990s has been largely confined to a few large central cities, bypassing many others and avoiding scores of formerly industrial small to mid-sized central cities. Our challenge is to understand why distressed central cities such as Camden, New Jersey, or Detroit, Michigan?have had trouble adjusting to competitive realities and then to try to devise public policies that allow them to uncover their competitive advantages.

This paper is an overview and summary of the findings and recommendations from twelve papers written by a research team assembled by the Economic Development Assistance Consortium. The authors did not try to find either a unified line of argument or a consistent set of policy recommendations. Instead, ten of the papers were written in four primary areas: policy and principles, rural development, community development, and science and technology policy. Two of the papers looked at independent themes that were not easily categorized: One examined the federal role in mitigating the impact of military base closings; the other examined the impact of tight metropolitan labor markets on spatial income disparities between central cities and their suburbs. In this paper we summarize these findings.

A period of unrivaled industrial entrepreneurism from 1870 to the late 1920s laid the economic foundation for the old-order Cleveland. Steel, iron ore, coal, shipping, and oil built the city, and it evolved into a durable goods economy that included automotive production, lighting, electrical motors, and chemicals, paint, and coatings.
Things began to change in the mid 1970s. By 1979 - a watershed year - the secular erosion of the area's durable goods base became evident as the city and its surrounding area began an abrupt economic restructuring.
Hill, Edward W., Yonkers' planners acted ethically: Its citizens and politicians acted illegally, Journal of Planning Education and Research 8(3) (Summer 1989): 183 188. *
The city of Yonkers violated the Constitution by locating schools and public housing in ways that were prosegregative. Did the city's planners act unethically, using the Davidoff-Krumholz categorical imperative of redistribution as the ethical standard? Possibly yes, but I argue that the imperative is an irrelevant standard for a city's planners and conclude that Yonkers' planners acted ethically. The imperative is valuable as a personal moral reference point and is appropriate for judging the actions of elected and appointed officials. It is inappropriate, however, as a standard for evaluating public servants. Yonkers' planners provided best practice advice to political decision makers. They were ignored.

Lorde made a concert stop in Phoenix, April 17, 2014, at the Comerica Theatre in between her two weekend appearances at Coachella. The 17 year old phenomenon is riding high this year off her success with her "standard" hit record "Royals" and her subsequent album "Pure Heroine." When your song is covered by the likes of performers that include Bruce Springsteen, it must be considered a standard!
Ella Yelich-O'Connor, aka Lorde, was born in New Zealand in 1996 to a mother who is a prize-winning poet. Lorde began singing and writing songs with her guitar at the age of thirteen. Actually Lorde became infatuated with singing and acting at the ripe old age of five. She has been on course for fame since. Lorde has received various accolades worldwide that have culminated with two Grammys this year. She won for Song of the Year and for Best Pop Solo Performance for her debut single "Royals." For more information on Lorde's meteoric rise to pop stardom, click here.
The show was expected to draw primarily "tween" fans, but the crowd consisted of fans all ages. Everyone was excited to see and hear today's favorite 17 year old! There were few props except for two floor candles and three ornate empty frames in the rear of the stage. The lighting was low except for a single spotlight on Lorde with the opening song, "Glory and Gore."
That set the mood for her 75-minute show filled with songs of teenage angst. Her songs possess a genuine quality that is missing from a lot of pop music today. Therein lies the widespread appeal of her music. There were no pyro technics or flashing lights, just Lorde on the large stage with a small band and a large chandelier overhead.
It was immediately apparent that Lorde was there to entertain and entertain she did! She uses a lot of dramatic moves while she sings and she reaches out to her audience frequently. She danced during the breaks in the songs and her moves resembled fast, seizure like motions. Her long hair flew and often she would go down close the floor. The crowd was enthusiastically on their feet for the whole show. For a complete set list, click here.

Can anyone well versed in lisp explain this joke to me? I've done some reading on functional programming languages and know that CAR/CDR mean Contents of Address/Decrement Register but I still don't really understand the humour.
In Lisp, a linked list element is called a CONS. It is a data structure with two elements, called the CAR and the CDR for historical reasons. (Some Common Lisp programmers prefer to refer to them using the FIRST and REST functions, while others like CAR and CDR because they fit well with the precomposed versions such as (CADR x) ≡ (CAR (CDR x)).
The joke is a parody of the bumper stickers you sometimes see on beat-up old cars saying "My other car is a Porsche/BMW/etc."
My response to this joke has always been "My other CAR is a CADR. CDR isn't a CAR at all."
Yes, definitely a geek joke.
The names come from the IBM 704, but that's not the joke.
The joke is (bad) pun on "my other car is a ___." But the in-joke is about recursion.
When you loop/manipulate/select/invoke/more in lisp you use a combination of car (the first element in the list) and cdr (the rest of the list) to juggle functions.
So you've got a car, but your other car is your cdr because you can always get a car from a cdr since the cdr is always (in recursion) more elements. Get it? Laugh yet?
You'll probably have to learn lisp to actually chuckle a bit, or not. Of course, by then, you'll probably find yourself chuckling randomly for no apparent reason because:
Lisp makes you loopy.
//Coming from Scheme
Maybe it's just an 'in-joke', only understandable by those 'in the know'.
Some would find it amusing that they understand something most readers don't.
On the other hand, if it's only seen by people who would understand it, it becomes a celebration of shared knowledge. We all like to do that, don't we?

You're invited!
Before I even arrived at my office, a teacher stopped to tell me that some of my habitual lice hosts, two sisters, had been sent home for lice again yesterday. Reportedly, they were totally loaded with live lice. There were two very fantastic things about this: one, the school didn't call me to have me drive over and check the girls; they actually listened when I designated and trained the ever-present crossing guard to do that job! Success! Second, something totally unheard of, the prinicipal made a Healthy Start referral for the family. What?! The principal. This guy is awesome. I was even more blown away when the sisters showed up to school today - and passed my lice check. I will admit I spent awhile pulling the last few nits out of each, but they were so close to being clean that I just didn't have the heart to turn them back home. To be loaded with lice one day, back at school the next - someone is finally getting the message. Too fantastic for words.
I stayed "late" and was rewarded with an invitation to be a guest speaker during Career Month at Kids Corner, the after school program on school grounds that many, many kids attend. How fun! They rehearsed their speech to invite me, and even colored me a pretty invitation too. How super sweet.

It breaks my heart to see a person that works with children saying they "despise" one of the kids. I have been enjoying your blog quite a bit. But some of your harsh judgments against people that are of lower socioeconomic status really make me sad. I wonder if the staff at the elementary school I attended viewed my own mother in such a light? I wonder if the staff may have thought we were lesser simply because we lacked money.ReplyDeleteReplies
I would appreciate it if such comments were either made a) not anonymously or b) directly toward me (see the "contact me" link in the top right corner). But yes, it's true: sometimes, school nurses have kids they take care of they aren't particularly fond of - that doesn't mean I take care of them any less than anyone else. Sometimes teachers have students they prefer over others. People have preferences, that is life. However, I can only speak for myself when I say it has nothing to do with anyone's socioeconomic status and all to do with the respect I get from them, both parents and students. If you treat me nicely, I'll do the same, but if you're going to disobey everyone in the office and become a nuisance while others are trying to work, I'm probably not going to enjoy your company. (Though I might feel sorry that you were raised in such a way you feel the need to act out like that.)Delete

Orix CEO Weighs in on the Tepco Problem: Filling the Hot Seat
Yoshihiko Miyauchi, chief executive of Japan's largest leasing firm, Orix Corp., is a successful manager, dedicated disciple of deregulation and has passionate views on what to do with struggling Tokyo Electric Power Co.
Recently, as the Japanese government desperately searches for executives to head Tepco, some people have floated Mr. Miyauchi's name as a possible candidate.
Yet Mr. Miyauchi says he wouldn't want a job running the utility, and that his views make him too radical for the government to consider anyway.
"Even if I wanted to, the government wouldn't ask me to," Mr. Miyauchi told JRT in an interview.
Mr. Miyauchi's answer highlights a big problem for the Japanese government, as it tries to craft a plan to take control of Japan's biggest utility, in the wake of last year's debilitating accident at its Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
The government was originally hoping to appoint new managers for Tepco when it announces a comprehensive restructuring plan for the company at the end of the month. But it has turned out extremely difficult to find replacements for Tepco's current chiefs–Chairman Tsunehisa Katsumata and President Toshio Nishizawa.
That's because the task of running Tepco is a thankless job: It entails cutting jobs and wages of workers, hiking electricity rates to the annoyance of users, and dealing with complaints from evacuees about slow compensation payments and loss of their homes. In the meantime, the managers also have to ensure that the gutted buildings at the Fukushima Daiichi will stay standing amid constant risks of earthquakes.
One government official told JRT that taking the post of Tepco CEO now is "like trying to step into a landmine."
Other names have been floated too, such as Central Japan Railway Co. Chairman Yoshiyuki Kasai and Dowa Holdings Co. Chairman Hirokazu Yoshikawa. But government officials said neither Mr. Kasai nor Mr. Yoshikawa is likely to be chosen.
Trade and Industry Minister Yukio Edano also acknowledges the difficulty of finding replacements for Tepco's top executives. "Successors should be found by Tepco's shareholders' meeting (in June), even though it would be better if they can be found earlier," he said in a press conference Wednesday.
Mr. Miyauchi is no stranger to the power business. Orix has operations in power generation and distribution. After years of efforts by the government–and a deregulation panel he was on–to open up the power market, Mr. Miyauchi said that "little has changed."
His view on the industry is simple and clear: "Tepco should be nationalized and broken up," Mr. Miyauchi said.
Mr. Miyauchi's straight talk has made some creditor banks uneasy. They fear that if someone like Mr. Miyauchi took over Tepco, he would implement a radical restructuring of the company, such as selling off most of its assets, which could jeopardize the company's ability to generate cash.
Others argue that straight talk and clear visions are exactly what is needed for Tepco. "Tepco is undergoing a historic change from a highly regulated business to a more competitive environment. The company needs someone who has a vision about what to do with the electricity policy and can work with the current government," says Mana Nakazora, head of research at BNP Paribas Securities in Tokyo.
Ms. Nakazora also thinks it is important to have somebody with a track record as a business leader. She cites as another promising candidate Kazuo Inamori, founder of electronics components maker Kyocera Corp., who served as CEO of Japan Airlines after its 2010 bankruptcy.
Ms. Nakazora also listed people who she thinks shouldn't lead Tepco, including deputy Tokyo governor Naoki Inose, an author and a well-known critic of Tepco. Despite his strong interest in the power business, Mr. Inose lacks experience in running a big corporation and is considered too ideological to win the trust of creditor banks, Ms. Nakazora said.

The 2014 NIT Tournament live stream and TV schedule get underway tonight with nine games ready to tip off. The NIT is the second biggest tournament in college basketball, but don't think for a minute that these teams won't be giving their all as they try to chase down an NIT championship. These live stream NCAA games are must see for any college hoops fan.
According to Bleacher Report on March 17, the 32 team schedule tips-off tonight at 7:00 p.m. EST with three games including heavy underdog Robert Morris taking on St. John's. Robert Morris will try to shock the NIT Tournament world as they come into tonight's game as a 16 point underdog vs. the Red Storm.
If you had a hunch that Robert Morris will win the 2014 NIT Tournament you could become pretty rich from it! Las Vegas odds makers have Robert Morris at +250 to win the NIT tourney, which is very high for a 32 game bracket.
One of the big match-ups tonight will include an old Big East rivalry when Georgetown faces West Virginia. Both teams had a down season in 2013, but just because West Virginia moved to the Big 12 conference, you can expect some old school Big East competition tonight.
Other great match-ups tonight include Missouri vs. Davidson, Arkansas vs. Indiana State and St. Mary's vs. Utah. All of these games can be seen on ESPN, ESPN 2 or streaming live online through ESPN3 or Watch ESPN.

Devotional Reading: I Kings 9; I Kings 10; I Kings 11
Listen to this devotional on Cinch: 04/25 Podcast
Memory Verse: And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. I Kings 9:3 KJV
The word of the Lord came to me saying,
I can hear you, even though your words are few, when you call me. I can see you. You think that I don't know the tears you cry: a fountain never dry. You did not know my voice? Remember the still small voice.
You call me. You come looking for an answer to questions in your soul that you've had for so long. Did you think that I just did not care to know the war you fight: a battle for your soul? You did not know my voice? Remember the still small voice. Yes child, that was me. I said, it is going to be alright.
Excerpt from The Still Small Voice by Shenica Graham
Remember that God hears your call, even if with a contrite spirit you are not able to utter many words. It is not our prolonged speech, but our sincerity of heart that moves Him. If we are not careful, we can miss His gentle voice amongst the chatter and shouts of everything vying for our attention.
"11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: 12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice." I Kings 19:11 - 12 KJV
Song Of The Day: I Need You To Survive by Hezekiah Walker
Album: Family Affair, Volume 2: Live at Radio City Music Hall
"I need you. You need me.
We're all a part of God's body.
It is His will that every need be supplied.
You are important to me.
I need you to survive.
I pray for you. You pray for me.
I love you. I need you to survive.
I won't harm you with words from my mouth.
I love you. I need you to survive."

Mr. President, I thank you for your unprecedented commitment and support for the security of Israel in your first term.

Mr. President, you represent the future. Your success will be the success of us all.

Global Connect (News - Alert), a provider of a various communication services, has just launched the GC1 Peak Dialer, a hosted cloud-based predictive dialer platform designed to help collections clients reach contacts quickly, easily, and cost effectively.
The innovative predictive dialer functionality will assist clients to increase agent productivity, while keeping operating costs low, company officials said in a press release.
GC1 Peak Dialer leverages cloud-based technology to offer advanced dialing features including direct agent login, unique login, call monitoring module and easy customization.
With the direct agent login, agents can be logged in directly to the dialer for campaigns including Direct Connect Campaigns, or can utilize a Web portal log-in for RPC Predictive Campaigns. In addition, the unique login provides a secure login for each agent into the GC1 Peak Dialer.
With the call monitoring module in the predictive dialer, supervisors can listen to agents, coach them through calls, and "barge" into calls when necessary. Also, the system offers custom and default settings for pacing algorithms, call hold queues, disposition codes, agent prioritization and call routing.
"In today's economic climate, clients are actively looking for tools and systems that help them accomplish more with less," said Darrin Bird, chief operating officer of Global Connect."Since there are no upfront fees, hardware or software expenses, the GC1 Peak Dialer's hosted cloud-based system offers a solution that is as economical as it is effective."
The new features offered by its cloud-based predictive dialer are added to the legacy features of Global Connect's voice messaging system, along with Global Connect's compliance, reporting, analytics, and security modules.
Back in May, Global Connect announced a partnership with Global LiquidEdge Solutions, a provider of collection scores and workflow optimization solutions, to launch the first fully integrated score-based predictive dialer solution from the cloud, called Global2.

Fixed Dialing: Fixed Dialing gives your call center manager the power to manually set the volume of calls. The software will then automatically dial a predetermined number of lines per agent. Fixed dialing is ideal for political campaigns, charity campaigns, and other situations drop call ratios are not a factor.
Auto dialer: makes thousands of calls screening for busy signals, no answers, fax machines while detecting answering machines/voicemail and delivers pre-recorded messages. SpitFireX Auto Dialer is a low cost solution for voice broadcasting.
Predictive dialers use complex mathematical algorithms that calculate, in real time:

Former Red Wings defenseman Todd Gill signed as a free agent with the Stanley Cup Chamion Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday.
Gill, who started the 2000-2001 season with Cincinatti of the AHL, filled in well for Detroit when Chris Chelios went down with a knee injury and was kept on the team after Chelios' return.
The signing, Colorado's first since retaining Joe Sakic, Rob Blake and Patrick Roy, will help the Avalanche fill a gap in their defensive corps caused by Ray Bourque's retirement and the loss of Jon Klemm to free agency.
Gill has had two tours with Detroit, as well as playing with Toronto, San Jose, St. Louis and Phoenix.

If you're incorporating date and time data into a website, it may not make sense to roll your own calendar system. Using someone else's service can cut down on development time and may give you more features than you'd have if you did it on your own.
Here are three free APIs to look into if you want to build a calendar or event tool.
30 Boxes – The basics are covered: programmatically add, retrieve, update and delete events on this popular calendaring site. The API also lets you search events by full text or tag. 30 Boxes also has todo data available through the API.
Google Calendar – Does everything that 30 Boxes does, minus the todo stuff. It's hard to deny the power of ubiquity. If your app needs to access your user's data elsewhere, you'll probably use Google Calendar.
Spongecell – This event promotion service also has a surprisingly complete API. If you're looking to create private calendars, this might not be the one to choose. If you organize events yourself, check out Spongecell. In addition to normal calendar stuff, you can send invitations, check on responses, and more.

Lesson learned, one should wait until a viable amount of data before affinitizing. In an attempt to get some early findings I took two users' data and started an affinity only to realize when I had a third person's that I would really have to re-think the groups I made so far. I started grouping the new user's data and then it hit me that I'm doing the same thing over again… start over… do it again 🙂

This course project was announced today. Here is a demo video of the Social, Spatial, Interaction (SSI) technology we will design for.

Light Up The Plaza – fun with flash
In the process of building our interface. We decided that a black background would be better since our application will be running in the plaza at night… it should subdue the distracting effect of a computer screen in the plaza.

Light Up The Plaza — Interaction layout
We re-evaluated our idea of using tweets and changed to being able to control the lights through gestures. This idea continues to incorporate the lights that are traditional in Madeira but allows for people to stand closely to each other. Our system has a screen that gives directions to the participants and facilitates interaction between people.
Capstone – So close I can smell the user.
Our capstone project has reached a major milestone. Data Consolidation. We have hung our affinity notes and I'm amazed and excited on how the voice of the user really comes to the front. This takes a lot of work through all of the steps of matching work behavior, naming the sub-groups, column headers and group headers. We've made some interesting insights from this data.
One of our subjects tell us: "I stay at the gate in case the flight information changes." This was going to be put into the category about signage, but it was observed that this type of information is transitory and not a perminant fixture like a bathroom or train station location. We then saw this idea of trust in information come up again in other notes. We have a working theory of who people seek out for particular types of information. It seems that when people are seeking information on fixed objects like bathrooms they will trust anyone, gate changes and boarding changes they seek billboards or cell phones, and finally for any type of transitory information they seek out airline representatives. This is valuable information for when we build our application to engender trust in our data.
Light Up The Plaza – Low fidelity prototype
This is our low fidelity experience prototype to see how our idea plays out in the classroom. We found from this experience that using twitter to send messages and light up a light was great, but we didn't have a way to show the lights themselves were linked together in a conversation.

Besides being a keystone species, beavers reliably and economically maintain wetlands that can sponge up floodwaters (the several dams built by each colony also slows the flow of floodwaters), prevent erosion, raise the water table and act as the "earth's kidneys" to purify water. The latter occurs because several feet of silt collect upstream of older beaver dams, and toxics, such as pesticides, are broken down in the wetlands that beavers create. Thus, water downstream of dams is cleaner and requires less treatment.
Access to both burrows and lodges is sub-surface for protection from predators. Due to the construction of the lodge, many predators are unwilling to take the time to dig through the walls to get at the beavers safe within. In the rare cases when this has happened, the beavers have usually escaped into the pond. To assure adequate water depth, streams are dammed using branches, logs, mud and stones. Lodges are usually between 8 and 12 feet in diameter (2.4 to 3.5 meters) and have heights of around 3 feet (1 meter), but can be found as large as 16ft by 6 1/2ft high (5 by 2 meters).
The beaver is the largest rodent in North America and second only to the Capybara in the American continents. Beavers are relatively short and squat, with are large rump. Each foot has five toes, with the hind feet being webbed to help the beaver swim. The second toe on each hind foot also has an extra claw (a double claw) to help the beaver groom. Beavers have small, short ears and have been known to stand using their hind feet only. Typically the tail is used to help balance the beaver while they perform this manuever.
Beavers have two different types of hair, a long tough hair (guard hair) that grows through a shorter softer layer of hair. This "underlayer" of fur helps insulate the beaver in colder or wet weather. Beaver's outer hair is a dark chestnut brown. The "underlayer" is usually a softer, reddish tinted brown. Usually their heads and underparts are slightly lighter than the rest of the body. This is not the case with the black subspecies of beaver.
The two incisors in each jaw grow continuously as they are worn away. Four rootless molars are selenodontic (having crescent ridges of hard enamel on the crowns which are used for cutting the fibres of their wood diet - compare to the smooth crowns of the molars of ruminants). Dentition is 1 0 1 3 indicated in the absence of cuspids and canines to tear and cut flesh. A Beaver's chewing force is 80 kg (176 lbs) compared to man's 40 kg. (88 lbs).
Beavers that are forced to leave the family pond will often travel downstream from the original pond. There they may start a new pond and a life of their own. This can cause a chain of ponds leading down a stream as successive generations of beavers build their way down.
The beaver's large incisors are kept sharp by having hard enamel faces and softer dentine backs. The dentine wears away faster than the enamel as the animal gnaws, leaving a keen biting edge of enamel at all times. These incisors never stop growing, so the beaver has to chew or grind its teeth continually to keep them ground down to a manageable length. If a beaver breaks a tooth or otherwise distorts its bite, the incisors elongate, force open the mouth permanently and cause the animal to starve.
The beneficial effects are described by Bruce Wright in Wildlife Sketches - Near and Far; he calls the beaver "a key to wildlife abundance". Young beavers separate from their families at about two years. They find an area where tender young poplars grow. They start to build a dam. Upstream they build a lodge; as the pond fills up, they collect a raft of poplar branches for winter feed. As the pond grows, sediments falling from the trees and silt carried by the stream settle to form a fertile muck; pond weeds and lilies flourish. As years pass the beavers, having exhausted the supply of poplars move on. Water lilies and pond weeds run riot. The pond now provides range for moose, waterfowl and other wildlife. As the dam decays, the water level falls, a sedge meadow appears and white-tailed deer replace the moose. As coarse grass takes over, woodcock move in. Finally the dam gives way and the fringe of alders spreads to deposit rich leaf mould.

AUSTRALIA—In this story, the city employee accused of having porn on his work computer is not the one who gets in trouble. No, in this tale of bad deeds gone punished it is the allegedly corrupt mayor of a Sydney suburb named Ryde who may suffer for having leaked the porn allegation. Strange goings on Down Under, indeed.
The porn facet is not central to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), which is currently underway, charged with "investigating allegations that six Ryde councilors, including [Ryde] Mayor Ivan Petch and Labor's dumped candidate for the federal seat of Bennelong, Jeff Salvestro-Martin, engaged in corrupt conduct that included not disclosing political donations."
Nevertheless, the Commission was informed of the allegation that Petch deliberately leaked a council IT report about a laptop issued to Ryde general manager John Neish that had been used to access pornography, and also heard "a phone tap of [Petch] threatening to destroy [Neish] by releasing details of [the] downloads to the media," ABC News reported.
What had Neish done to earn the ire and retribution of the mayor? According to ABC, "He refused to delay a project to redevelop Ryde's civic precinct." Why that was so problematic for Petch is not explained in news reports, but he clearly wanted Neish out and decided that porn would be the perfect method of acheiving his end, even though Neish is not accused of doing anything "illegal or corrupt."
"According to the council's code of conduct," reported ABC News, "the IT report was meant to be confidential and the matter was subject to an internal investigation, but Petch hired a solicitor after saving images from the laptop. The solicitor, Bryan Belling, today told the ICAC he met with Petch in a cafe where they discussed the possibility of terminating Mr. Neish's employment."
"In a phone conversation secretly recorded by the ICAC after the meeting," the article continues, "Petch told Belling that IT staff had given him a CD with the file names of pornographic websites accessed from the laptop."
"If it goes to the national press it's irrefutable," Petch said on the call. "It will destroy him absolutely... His personal standing in the community will be at an all-time low."
Petsh also said Neish should "have his resignation ready" and be prepared to "leave town" once the allegations are made, because his career would effectively be over.
ABC News also released a snippet of the actual call during which the two men joke about their in with the media:
Petch: The ramifications in the hands of the media... they will crucify him.
Belling: I've got, um, I've got a lot of mates at the Tele (the Daily Telegraph newspaper).
Petch: Yeah.
Belling: That's the place you'd publish - they'd love this stuff.
Petch: Oh I know. We've got all the same contacts there. I've got a national press bloke who advises me on press releases. With your contacts and my contacts, mate, we'd have no trouble. (LAUGHS) It will be close to a front page.
The inquiry continues.

The Kim Kardashian wedding grabbed headlines all during the Memorial Day weekend as the reality star (not so secretly) married Kanye West. After claiming that she wasn't going to be sharing her special moment with the fans like she did in her last marriage, there are reports suggesting that a special will be shown on the E! Network. Reality TV Magazine is reporting on Wednesday that the Mrs. Kim Kardashian-West will definitely be putting her special day on television in the very near future.
When it comes to what Kim Kardashian has to say about what she plans to make public, it's pretty obvious she makes sure the details are precise. Previously, she became very upset when people suggested that the reality star would be filming the wedding for "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Of course, she batted down that idea, but she conveniently forgot to mention that a special with her exclusively could be a possibility.
The cameras were seen at the Kim Kardashian wedding, but how much of the actual ceremony will be seen is a good question. The paparazzi could see the crew taking shots of the different events and there is probably some editor in Hollywood working hard on putting together a show as they slice together different parts of the event.
There is no worry that there won't be enough material to show the world the special day. Apparently so much film was taken that there will be a 2-part special of all the events leading up to the wedding and the big wedding day. There is still some question if the moment where the two wed will be on tape as previously that was off limits. Of course some fans are even wondering if the reality star will sell a DVD of the event too.
Will people watch the Kim Kardashian wedding on television, even though they saw the lavish event being throw before with Kim's ex? Probably so. Especially if the star hasn't share all the details of her special day and continues to tease her fan base on what they might see.

Its crisp green leaves are flavorful and nutritious additions to salads. Parsley can be sprinkled over potatoeswhether mashed, whole or salad styleand its use in flavoring sauces, soups and stuffings is legendary.
Parsley is usually planted in March or April when the moon is waxing. (i.e. increasing illumination) It is a biennial which does well either in open sun or partial shade. Any ordinary garden soil which does not dry out too rapidly, is rich in nitrogen and is not excessively alkaline, is suitable for growing parsley.
To avoid damaging the shallow roots while weeding, plant radishes among the parsley and consider companion planting. The radishes will force out weeds and help to mark the parsley rows.
Parsley will overwinter if given the protection of a light mulch during severely cold weather. One of the earliest green plants to show in the spring, parsley blossoms in the second year. To prevent the herb from going to seed, the blossoms, which look like QueenAnne's-lace, should be cut off as soon as they appear.
In the fall the herb may be dug up, potted and brought indoors where it will continue to provide fresh leaves throughout the winter months. Care should be taken to dig up as much of the root as possible, and some of the outside foliage should be cut from the plant. Potted plants may also be grown by starting seeds indoors.
Customarily, the outer leaves only are cut. This practice permits the heart of the plant to continue to grow and produce more leaves.
