While you're getting some rest for the holiday, you can ponder potential future worries facing the markets.
So much for that warm, smug feeling....
Habitat's ability to out-build some of the nation's largest corporations partly reflects the insatiable demand for affordable housing in a nation where more than a quarter of the population can't afford a median-priced home in their area, according to the Wall Street Journal.
As U.S. troops accelerate their withdrawal from Iraq, the military is offloading thousands of tons of unwanted junk accumulated during seven years in the country by selling it to dealers, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Law Blog Obituary: Vanderbilt's Richard Nagareda
The sad news has begun making its way around the internet: Vanderbilt law professor Richard Nagareda died at his home on Friday, October 8. He was 47.
Click here for the release on his death, issued by Vanderbilt.
Nagareda was the David Daniels Allen Professor of Law and director of the Cecil D. Branstetter Litigation and Dispute Resolution Program.
He was a leading civil litigation scholar whose work focused on class actions and aggregate litigation. He was the author of a book on complex litigation theory, Mass Torts in a World of Settlement (2008), as well as a casebook, The Law of Class Actions and Other Aggregate Litigation, which came out this year.
He had written articles for a variety of law reviews, including the Harvard Law Review, the University of Chicago Law Review, the Columbia Law Review and the Michigan Law Review.
According to the release, Nagareda was also widely admired as a teacher. He held the three-year Tarkington Chair for Teaching Excellence from 2006-09 and was recognized three times by his students with the Hall-Hartman Award for Teaching Excellence, most recently in 2010. He taught Administrative Law, Complex Litigation, Evidence, and multiple seminars.
He seems to have had a sense of humor too. He awarded a prize each year to the student whose impression of him was judged best.
Nagareda graduated from Stanford in 1985 and got his law degree at Chicago in 1988. He clerked for Judge Douglas Ginsburg on the D.C. Circuit, then practiced law in the Office of Legal Counsel for two years and then joined the law firm of Shea & Gardner, where he practiced for three years. In 1994, Nagareda joined the faculty at the University of Georgia School of Law, where he taught for seven years before joining Vanderbilt's faculty in 2001.
Nagareda's appointment to the David Daniels Allen Chair in Law had been announced just two weeks before his death by Dean Chris Guthrie. "Richard was a personal friend as well as an esteemed colleague, and those of us who were fortunate enough to know him and work with him are devastated," Dean Guthrie said. "The legal academy has lost a gifted scholar, our students an extremely talented teacher, and his wife, son and mother have lost a beloved husband, father and son."
Law Blog personal note: I never had the privilege or pleasure to meet Richard, though I — and other reporters at the Wall Street Journal — spoke to him often to get his take on matters relating to complex mass torts and class actions. As an expert source, he was a journalist's dream, never failing to return calls and always answering every last question (no matter how trivial or ill-informed) with patience, respect and an exacting clarity. His knowledge on issues related to big-scale litigation was vast and impressive, and his commentary never failed to be thoughtful and nuanced.
I speak for several reporters here (and probably elsewhere) when I say that his voice will be sorely missed.

One Hundred Years of Solitude
by Gabriel García Márquez
One Hundred Years of Solitude Chapter 2 Summary
- Now a little flashback.
- The Buendías are from up north, near Riohacha, a port city on the north coast of Colombia. When British pirate-turned-privateer-turned-knighted-guy Sir Francis Drake attacked Riohacha at the end of the sixteenth century, Úrsula's great-great-grandmother freaked out so much that she went nuts for the rest of her life.
- A small aside: how did the British rule the seas back in the day? Well, some of it was their navy, but mostly they issued permission slips for pirates to attack any foreign ships with impunity and leave the British alone. These pirates were known as privateers. Really successful ones would get whitewashed into history as naval heroes. Score!
- Anyway, where were we? Oh, yes, the frightened great-great-grandmother.
- So her husband moved the family far away inland to try and calm his wife down.
- And that's where Úrsula and José Arcadio Buendía eventually met and married. Which is all well and good, except they were cousins, and so their families were a little stressed about the whole inbred children situation.
- But love is love, and the heart wants what it wants, as they say.
- Before the wedding, Úrsula's mom terrifies her with stories of crocodile children, so Úrsula refuses to consummate the marriage for several months. Word gets around town that she's still a virgin.
- One day, after a rousing bout of cockfighting, a dude named Prudencio Aguilar insults José Arcadio about his virgin wife. José Arcadio goes home, gets a spear, and throws it at Prudencio's throat, killing him.
- That night, Úrsula stops being a virgin.
- Over the next few days, they start to see Prudencio Aguilar's ghost sadly meandering through the house looking for water with which to wash his throat wound.
- It's less scary than pathetic. José Arcadio kills all of his game cocks, packs up the house, and, with a bunch of friends, decides to move from the little village to a new place, partly to bring peace to Prudencio's ghost.
- They cross the mountains, wander around, and finally decide to stop looking for the sea and to settle on a little river.
- During the journey, Úrsula gives birth to José Arcadio (II).
- On the night they finally stop traveling, José Arcadio Buendía has a dream about a city where all the buildings have walls made out of mirrors. In the dream, the city is named Macondo, and so that's what they call it.
- Return from flashback! When he sees the gypsy ice, José Arcadio Buendía thinks he's finally figured out the mirror-city dream: clearly ice will be the building material of the future and they won't be plagued with heat anymore.
- But he doesn't get too carried away with the ice project because he's still into his kids' education.
- José Arcadio (II) isn't into being in the alchemy lab with his dad and brother because he's just on the other side of puberty, during which he becomes crazily well-endowed in the under-the-pants department.
- Pilar Ternera, a woman who works in the Buendía house helping with chores, finds out about this and decides to see for herself, basically by feeling him up. José Arcadio (II) starts fantasizing about her. He eventually goes to her house in the middle of night… and they get it on.
- José Arcadio (II) and Pilar Ternera do this every night for a while, and he is so overwhelmed with the sex that he has no idea what else is going on in the house.
- Meanwhile, José Arcadio Buendía and Aureliano have used the alchemy lab to extract the gold back out of the gross metal sludge they had made earlier.
- Finally José Arcadio (II) can't keep things to himself and tells his brother Aureliano about Pilar. Aureliano lives vicariously through the descriptions.
- Meanwhile, Úrsula gives birth to another child, a girl named Amaranta.
- A few months later, the gypsies come back again. It's a new type of gypsies, who are all about entertainment and not sharing scientific discoveries. One of the things they bring is a flying carpet, but no one thinks about it as a mode of transportation. Instead, the Macondoans just ride around on it for fun.
- But things are about to get serious in Pilar and José Arcadio (II)'s world. She's pregnant. When she tells him about it, he freaks out and starts to get really, really interested in his dad's laboratory again – mostly as a place to hide out whenever she's around.
- One day, while walking through the gypsy fair, José Arcadio (II) sees a very young gypsy girl. He follows her around, presses against her to demonstrate what he's got down his pants, and they go into a tent to make out. (Huh. Things go a little faster in this world than in real life, don't you think?)
- The tent is apparently part of a brothel, since just as José Arcadio (II) and the girl are rounding the bases, another gypsy woman comes in with a local dude.
- José Arcadio (II) is overcome by some kind of amazing sexual euphoria. Two days later he leaves town with the gypsies.
- Úrsula takes off in search of him. His trail grows cold and she disappears.
- Now Úrsula is gone. José Arcadio Buendía takes care of baby Amaranta, and slowly he and Aureliano try to build a new life for themselves. Secretly, though, José Arcadio Buendía is constantly praying for Úrsula to come back. Finally she does, five months later.
- Úrsula comes back with a whole bunch of new people who live in a town on the other side of the swamp, where they get mail and aren't cut off from the rest of the world. Basically, Úrsula has finally found the road out of town.
- But no dice on José Arcadio (II).

MSI Wind U120 to be launched next month with built-in 3.5G module
About the only thing that separates netbooks from mobile phones is the fact that they don't come with cellular network connectivity as standard. Well, fortunately, MSI is stepping up to the plate and equipping the latest addition to its Wind netbook line with a built-in 3.5G module to give users yet another way to connect to the Web.
With the inclusion of 3.5G on the MSI Wind U120, MSI joins the ranks of Dell and Asus in their mission to put cellular network connectivity on netbooks. It's an in-demand feature for these said devices, and it's a good thing that MSI is listening.
The MSI Wind U120, said to be scheduled for a launch on November, will feature a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB RAM, and a 120GB hard drive. It will use Windows XP as its operating system.
There's still no word on which particular carriers the MSI Wind U120 will be offered, but in Taiwan, MSI has partnered with local telecom operator Vibo Telecom for 3.5G services on the MSI Wind U90, a lower-end version of the MSI Wind U120.
The MSI Wind U120's price is said to be around $552 USD.

TV Watch Bachelor Pad
Another season of Bachelor Pad has come and gone, and this year was full of some major twists and turns.
Two couples found themselves in the finale – and one couple walked away with $250,000 – but to get there took strategy, clever negotiating and walking on the tight rope of maintaining integrity.
As the remaining four couples found themselves in Vegas for the final challenge, we wondered who would have to be the person to make the dreaded decision of sending two couples home that week to get down to the final two couples to go to the finale.
Thankfully, one of the new twists of the season brought past Bachelor franchise alumni (Trista, Jason, and Ali) back to judge the final challenge and do part of the dirty work.
Michael Stagliano may have won Bachelor Pad with his former fiancée Holly Durst, but the finale proved to be as complicated as it was celebratory.
Before their victory was announced, the entrepreneur, 27, found out on camera that aspiring author Durst, 28, was newly engaged to fellow contestant Blake Julian.
Still recovering from the shock they'd heard only an hour before, they spoke with PEOPLE exclusively at the finale's taping last week in their hometown of Los Angeles.
After six weeks of tears, teams and a new romance-turned-engagement, the second season of Bachelor Pad concluded Monday night.
Kasey Kahl and Vienna Girardi were the early frontrunners of the game, and of the eight contestants at the end, PEOPLE.com readers thought Ella Nolan and Kirk Dewindt were the most deserving of the $250,000 prize.
So which couple emerged victorious? Read on to find out!
At this point, there seems to be more baggage than contestants in the Bachelor Pad house.
The four remaining couples – Vienna and Kasey, Michelle and Graham, Holly and Michael, and Ella and Kirk – each have their own unique histories, strategies, and, naturally, drama, which should add up to fireworks on Monday night's finale.
Masterminds from the start, real-life couple Vienna and Kasey have been able to influence other contestants since they all moved in together, but their arguing and manipulation could get the best of them.
Holly Durst may have voted off Blake Julian on Bachelor Pad this week, but the note she handed him at the rose ceremony – saying that it wasn't the end for them – has turned out to be rather telling.
That's because the pair, both 28, who have flirted all season long, are now engaged to be married, a source tells PEOPLE.
Their courtship was always complicated, given that Durst's former fiancé Michael Stagliano was also competing on the show, and still had feelings for her. And Julian himself was involved with fellow contestant Melissa Schreiber throughout much of the season.
Despite putting up quite a fight in The Nearlywed Game challenge, law student Erica Rose, 28, and dentist Blake Julian, also 28, were sent packing from the Bachelor Pad on Monday. The doomed duo spoke with reporters about house hook-ups – both good and bad – failed strategy and why they saved Kasey and Vienna.
What would you have done differently?
Blake: I don't think we were ready for the amount of emotional depth and strategy involved. Partner selection would have been considered much more carefully on my part.
Erica: The first two weeks I wasn't playing the game, wasn't thinking for myself and was just voting the way Kasey told me. If I could go back in time, I would start thinking early on.
Brilliant. That's the first word that comes to mind when describing Graham and Michelle's "Nearlywed" challenge strategy on this week's episode of Bachelor Pad.
In true "work smarter, not harder" fashion, these two devised a simple plan that consisted of "seven, Michael, Holly." And that, friends, is how you turn three simple responses into two powerful red roses. However, immunity is only part one and this happens to be a two-part victory.
In addition to securing their spot in the Bachelor Pad for another week, Graham and Michelle also managed to navigate another potentially emotional and tormenting challenge without giving up any real information about their personal lives and more importantly without offending any of their fellow housemates. Deciding to give canned responses based on the type of question as opposed to the content of the question turned out to be the perfect strategy.
Months after teaming up on season 2 of Bachelor Pad, Michelle Money and Graham Bunn are closer than ever.
"Graham and I talk multiple times a day," Money told PEOPLE over the phone recently. "When I left the show, we both knew that he was going back to New York and I'm going back to Utah, and we live very different lives. We don't live close to each other by any stretch of the imagination, so we knew that it was kind of like, 'We'll see what happens.' And since then, we have definitely grown closer."
Melissa Schreiber, a 32-year-old waitress, and cell phone salesman William Holman, 30, got the ax instead of the rose on Monday night's episode of Bachelor Pad. They spoke to reporters via conference call about their disadvantages, dramas – and the deserving contestants they're hoping will win.
If you could get a redo, how would you change your strategy?
William: I think I played the game pretty well but I wasn't as competitive as other people. The only thing I would change was the last night. I would have tried to convince everybody that I was worth keeping around and Kasey should have been voted off. Because I laid low, it was easy for people to say, "Let's take William out. We don't want to hurt Kasey's feelings. He'll definitely say something to us."
Melissa: Do I wish I had done things differently [and] chosen a different partner in the beginning? Absolutely.
Last week we learned that every rose has its thorn. This week on Bachelor Pad we learned that some roses actually have daggers. Two and a half new relationships were over-powered by the devastatingly loud snap of one broken man (Michael). Hearts don't break quietly.
This week opened with the closing of last week's rose ceremony. Some departing words from Jake led us all to believe that this week would be all about strategy and the game. One sleep-deprived night later, however, the Bachelor Pad residents awoke to two words you never want to hear coming from Chris Harrison: "kissing contest." (While it was said that this was a favorite challenge from last year we can assure you that was not the consensus around the house.)
The kissing contest is as much about heart and brains as it is about lips. Now more then ever, it's important to make the right decision about how to handle this challenge as there is an existing relationship and a recent engagement present in the house. Do you put all circumstances out of mind and focus in on the money or do you tell yourself that some things are more important then money? Personally, we feel it's a no-brainer – respect your housemates first and keep your character intact.

|Luiza Borges
Luiza Borges, who played an integral role in perhaps the most successful four-year period in the annals of the East Carolina women's tennis program, is in her third season as assistant women's tennis coach with the Lady Pirates.
Borges joined Tom Morris' staff in the spring of 2010 as a student assistant while completing requirements for her undergraduate degree and was elevated to a graduate assistant's position the following fall. She assists in all phases of the program, ranging from on-the-court duties to academic coordination.
A native of Brazil who spent her formative years in Portugal, Borges concluded a stellar Lady Pirate career that began in the fall of 2004 with an all-time singles record of 81-39 and a doubles mark of 67-34. Her 81 singles victories currently stand second among all women's tennis players in ECU history.
During Borges' playing career under Morris, her on-the-court success and leadership helped the Lady Pirates post the top four single-season win totals in the program's 33-year existence - capturing a pair of 19-victory campaigns in 2006 and 2007 and two 17-triumph springs in 2005 and 2008.
Borges earned her bachelor's degree in business in 2010.

There's an old saying about procrastination- "never put off until tomorrow what you can do today." Nice ideal to be sure, but many like many people, sometimes find myself following a different rule, "never put off until tomorrow what you can put off until next week."
If this second adage more accurately represents your approach to filing your tax returns, you are not alone- the IRS says around 20% of Americans wait until the last week to file.
The good news is if you are the type to wait until literally the last minute, the US Postal Service is ready to accommodate you. Today the Downtown Denver post office at 951 20th St.(map) will stay open till midnight. So long as you get there and drop off your return before the stroke of twelve, you won't turn into a pumpkin... er, be late filing your taxes.

A Ghost Story?
I work on a university campus which began its life as a military fort, Fort Brady.
Some of the buildings date back to the 1880's.
There are times when I can feel the history of the place...
But Monday, things took turn for the . . . something.
One of the RA's who lives in Brady Hall fell and hit his head Sunday night. He does not remember the rest of the night, including a trip to the hospital some time after midnight.
What he does remember is this:
At approximately 2130, he was sitting in the lobby when he noticed two older men entered the building. They were walking side by side, talking, and appeared to be checking the building out.
After a short time, the older of the two men left the building but second man went downstairs. The RA followed him and watched him enter a store room which was locked. When he went in right after, the man was gone.
When he went back upstairs, he saw the older man, who had gone outside, coming up from the basement at the opposite end of the building where he was joined by the man who had gone downstairs into the store room. The RA then asked the men for identification and was given the names Phil Sheridan and George Hoyt. When the RA started to ask them questions, however, Sheridan cut him off and said their boss was waiting. He also said things would be okay. He then told Hoyt 'this will work' and then said 'the commander is in need of our services'. Both men then wished the RA a good evening and they left the building.
On Monday morning, the RA, who also works as one of our student auxiliary officers, came in to our office, clearly agitatedr. He asked me if I knew anyone working on campus by the names of Sheridan or Hoyt and he told me about the encounter he'd had Sunday night. He also told me about his fall and the fact he didn't remember anything from the night before except his encounter. I checked and confirmed we don't have any employees with either name.
The RA had to go to class. I then contacted his supervisor, who explained more about what had happened the night before, including the fact that he had taken the RA to the hospital and that the RA had a concussion. He chalked up the encounter with the two men as a 'delusion' brought on by the concussion.
I was willing to chalk it up as the same until the RA came back in and practically demanded I google the names. He was determined to figure out who the men were and why they had keys to his building.
I had been bugged by the feeling I knew the name Phil Sheridan all morning, and when I googled it, I realized why.
Philip Henry Sheridan (1831 - 1888) was a union general during the Civil War. He was also the general who selected to location of Fort Brady when it was moved from by the St. Mary's River to where the university is now.
There is a street near the school named after him.
When I googled George Hoyt, however, I didn't get anything concrete. The RA said I should add the letters QM to the front of his name because that was the way it was on his ID...
I asked him if he knew what QM stood for. He had no idea so I said it stands for Quartermaster. He had no idea what that meant.
When I googled QM George Hoyt, I came up with a direct link to a Wikipedia entry on...
Fort Brady.
Hoyt was the Assistant Quartermaster who platted the grounds of 'old' Fort Brady in 1894.
It gave me the chills.
The RA described the men as being dressed in uniforms, with long coats; one was in black with brass buttons. When I showed him a photo of General Sheridan, he got really quiet and then said "He was older."
I don't know what to think.
Well, I do. There are three explanations for what happened.
One, he's playing the best prank on me I've ever had played.
Two, it was nothing but a delusion brought on by the concussion.
Three, this young man had an encounter with General Phil Sheridan and QM George Hoyt.
I know which I believe.
How about you?

I'm a bit suspicious as to why the young man didn't google the names himself.
Why did he insist you find out for him? It wouldn't seem logical to me if I had such an encounter and was told no one by those names worked there that I would not have first googled it myself.
Seems even a bit more staged since he added the QM after you said you couldn't find anything. I ink he was eating you up. Not sure why, but something doesn't pass the smell test here.

As a Civil War buff I recognized where this was headed right away.
I think the RA is quite proficient at using Google.

Ah! I enjoyed the ghost story. A little less angry seems... well good! And your take on the culture war issues was helpful, instructive and I'd give it a 90% rating on my agree with the thought and the tone list. Till the word Obama comes up and we fall back on the usual distortion prose. Too bad. Oh well good try....:)

Rita and Greybeard:
I guess you'd have to know the young man and what he'd been going through. He was dealing with memory loss due to the concussion and struggling to understand something he couldn't understand. I believe he came to me because he knew he could and he knew I wouldn't pat him on the head, you know?
The thing that makes me think it isn't a prank is the quote about "Our commander needs our services." The young man is from Detroit. Where does a Detroit kid hear a phrase like that? Plus, he wrote the incident up and sent it to his supervisor. I know the history of the fort but I'd never heard the name Hoyt. So... who knows?
The usual distortion prose? Distortion, how? Because it doesn't agree with you? My take on things is my take, usually based in fact.

My all time favorite from Jethro Tull: Minstrel In The Gallery

BREAD( if a picture paints a thousand words)
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"

My all time favorite from Jethro Tull: Minstrel In The Gallery
"Naked and Starving as They are We Cannot Enough Admire the Incomparable Patience and Fidelity of the Soldiery" George Washington, Valley Forge, 1777.
A song befitting this forum:
How about the Beatle's: "Happiness is a Warm Gun".
Yes, it really is a Beatle's song:

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch; Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."

OK guys, I have to weigh in on this. When I was much younger, back in the '70s, I grew up here in San Antonio, TX. My father was/is a prominent CPA (bean counter to us commoners) and used to have an eccentric millionaire for a client, who just happened to own a Radio station as a tax shelter. The format of this station was independent and verrrry flexible and was headed up by two guys named Lou Roney and Joe Anthony. Those were prominent names in the hard rock arena because they were the first American DJs to give a whole lot of the following bands airplay. I write this because I got to meet a whole lot of these bands I am about to list and their hits, and have promo copies of the albums the songs came from.
So here we go:
Angel - White hot
AC/DC - Walk All over you
Argent - Hold your head up
Black Sabbath - Sabbra Cadabra
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Karn evil 9

On 6 May 1977 the USSR and US signed the COSPAS-SPASAT Treaty covering deployment of an international system of emergency beacon receivers aboard satellites. On 23 November 1979 a Memorandum of Agreement was signed by the USA, USSR, Canada, and France on implementation of the system. The receivers would be placed on satellites operating below 1,000 km altitude, and provide a positional accuracy of 3 km for 406 MHz beacons, 20 km for 121.5 MHz. Twenty were flown aboard Tsikada maritime navigation satellites, the first being Kosmos 1383 on 30 June 1982. The system, designated 'Nadezhda', was credited with saving hundreds of lives.
From 1995 these satellites were equipped with the Kurs system for better location of air, sea, and ground craft in distress and for transmittal of digital data to the Kurs Centre. These were designated Nadezhda-M. Signals at 150,00 MHz and 400.00 MHz. The spacecraft provided dual use - location of vessels in the Soviet merchant marine and fishing fleet; and work within the international space search and rescue system for locating vessels and aircraft in distress (COSPAS-SARSAT).

Good experience with excellent seats (2nd row, center stage floor), but the play wasn't as good as I anticipated. I want expecting 50 shades of gray, but the scenes seemed a bit drab and unfortunately I found myself bored at times. The singing was really good and the actors were all likeable, but the "wow" factor was missing. Sorry.

Holy smokes, its been over a YEAR since I updated my journal.
I'm not gonna go through everything that has happened since the last update (that would be ridiculous and entirely unnecessary) but the short and version is that I received a promotion and have moved on to bigger and better things. This also has greatly cut into my time to do what I love, which is to create things. My personal art folder and idea page is full of projects at various stages of completion, from random sketches to fan art, to photoshops and stories. As I find time to finish things and have time to post them, I will. I will be MIA for approx. 2 months, so don't expect any activity. When I say MIA, I mean pretty much no internet, no cell reception, nothing. zilch. nadda.

Women and Age Discrimination
At 52, you're one of the oldest employees in the office and among the best paid. Your evaluations have been glowing; in fact, you just won a productivity award. Then one day you meet the new division head, who appears to be some 20 years your junior. He asks how long you've worked at the firm and if there's anything you still hope to accomplish there. And are you getting enough time to visit with your grandchildren?
Your bias detector — the one you honed back when bosses still dared to call you "honey" — is twitching. And it should, because, after decades of climbing the ladder and playing the game and perhaps paying a personal price, it turns out that seniority and a big salary can endanger your job security. Especially if you're a woman.
Age discrimination used to be more blatant than it is now. Airline "stewardesses" were forced to retire at 32. And help-wanted ads blithely sought "applicants between the ages of 25 and 35." The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), which protects the rights of workers 40 and older, helped to end the most barefaced bias. But we live in a culture where beauty is youth and change trumps experience (a culture, some would argue, that the upper tier of our own demographic helped to foster decades earlier with slogans like "Don't trust anyone over 30"). As the massive baby boomer generation grows older, age-based complaints to the federal government's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission have increased; they're up nearly 21 percent from 10 years ago and now comprise nearly a quarter of the commission's workload. "People are living longer and wanting to work longer," says Elizabeth Grossman, an attorney in the EEOC's busy New York office, "and quite a few employers resist keeping these employees on the payroll past a certain point." Or hiring them in the first place: Job candidates ages 35 to 45 were 40 percent more likely to be called for an interview than candidates with similar backgrounds — and more years of experience — who were 50-plus, according to a study published this year by Joanna Lahey, an assistant professor of economics at the Bush School at Texas A&M who specializes in age discrimination. For each decade of age, job seekers needed to apply for four and a half more positions just to get an interview.
"Search consultants have told me their clients say, 'Don't bring me anyone over 50,'" says Peter Cappelli, director of the Center for Human Resources at the University of Pennsylvania. "The clients don't say why; the implicit suggestion seems to be that older workers don't have the energy to do the job." Or that we're inflexible, or unsociable, or unused to new technologies, or any one of a number of other maddening stereotypes. And often the bottom line is, simply, the bottom line: They think we cost too much.
"As companies want to cut back, they do that by getting rid of people who have been there for 20 to 25 years and hiring younger people for far less money," says Trish Bangert, a Denver-based attorney specializing in civil rights, constitutional law, and discrimination. And then there is that other elephant in the corner office: health insurance. "It's not exclusive to age, but I think it's an unspoken thing, looking at potential employees and wondering how they will impact healthcare costs," says Terri Swain, a former EEOC investigator who now does human resources consulting in Fort Worth, Texas.
Bangert began noticing an increase in age-discrimination clients about eight years ago, when the first of the boomers hit their mid 50s. Until recently, most complaints about age bias came from white male middle managers, who were "especially dumbfounded," she says, because they had never experienced discrimination before. Now older women are filing nearly as many EEOC complaints as older men. Some allege both age and sex discrimination. In these "age-plus" (or "gender-plus") cases, sex discrimination — typically in such male-dominated fields as finance and law — worsens with age. Older women, she says, "are probably the least valued persons in the workforce — after having given the most."

GOP South Carolina Primary Race Card Educates Voters
Spartanburg, SC – Nikki Haley, Governor of South Carolina has been facing the slings and arrows of Northern aggression when it comes to making sure all citizens of the state not only have the opportunity to vote, but vote for the wight GOP candidate.
The bill requires people to present a state-issued driver's license, ID card, military ID, or U.S. passport, to vote. Haley said it protects the rights of all voters. The U.S. Department of Justice claims it must approve changes to South Carolina's election laws because of the state's failure in the past to protect the voting rights of blacks.
"Everyone implies that this is voter suppression. There is nothing that we want more than to make sure every person in South Carolina has the wight to vote. You will see us fight, and you will see us fight hard." – South Carolina Governor, Nikki Haley
While some argue there are plenty of poor whites that depend on public transportation and have no identification, the U.S. Justice Department, led by the socialist President Who Is Not President Bush, is investigating this as a black only issue. They don't even consider those without birth certificates claiming to be 'delivered at home' might be illegal aliens that need to be deported. The new law would make sure only U.S. born citizens or duly naturalized citizens are able to vote.
"A long time ago, the midwives delivered you. If they mishapped and didn't put it in the courthouse, you didn't get in, and my name was not in the courthouse." – 72 year old Lutie Morris-Floyd, illegal living in South Carolina
In anticipation of the continued blocking of this important immigration and voter legislation, one women's coalition is standing up and taking charge to combat the wobbly argument of the U.S. Justice Department by educating voters to the facts.
The South Carolina Women's Liberty Voter Coalition for a Better South Carolina is very sensitive to racial voting issues. As proud South Carolinians, they understand the needs of the people to support civil rights for all people to participate in democracy. Mrs. Dr. Jasson Voorhees, wife of Dr. Jasson Voorhees and Communications Grand Duchess Supreme of the group, introduced the card during a press conference in Spartanburg, SC.
"There are a lot of foreigners we see as friends in Spartanburg," she said, referring to the number of German and European workers at the BMW facility. "We want those of you that have become citizens and may be voting for the first time to have the vital information you need."
During a second press junket at the famous Bob Jones University in Greenville, not far from Spartanburg, Mrs. Dr. Voorhees addressed the needs of the young first time voter. She again stressed the need for education, noting that the GOP South Carolina Primary Voter Race Card is an educational tool available to all voters, black and white.
Reactions to the card seemed mixed. Some seemed thrilled and began asking for small stacks to hand out to the local sanitation workers. Others seemed more interested in the Krispy Kreme donuts. In any case, this is one women's voters coalition that isn't going to sit still and let big government say who can vote just because it is an election year.
"This whole campaign is not about race," Voorheese said. "It's about saving this country."

Caren Weinhouse, a doctoral student in the School of Public Health's Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of Michigan, and colleagues are the first to report a direct and statistically significant link between exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) and liver cancer in the Feb. 3, 2014, edition of the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
The researchers exposed female mice to varying levels of BPA that were equivalent to the levels of exposure people would experience from plastics, the lining of food cans, cash register receipts, and paint. The highest level of exposure was 50 milligrams of BPA per kilogram of diet.
The exposed female mice were bred and their offspring were observed to have a 27 percent higher than normal rate of liver cancer and the development of cancerous lesions in their livers. The same rate of development of liver cancer was observed in male and female mice. Normally, female mice and humans have a lower rate of liver cancer than males.
The researchers also noted that this study proved than free BPA (not bonded to another molecule) could be transferred to the fetus and produce a higher potential for liver cancer.
This is the first research that demonstrates the connection between BPA and liver cancer and shows that "the timing of exposure and the dosage are extremely critical in evaluating study outcomes."

Suburbia Encroachment
Suburbia Encroachment
Oil Painting
This is the third in a series of paintings that are fun to view and works that would fit perfectly in a children's room or in a children's hospital.

Paul Klee Gardens
Paul Klee Gardens
Oil on Board
The obvious reference to an artist well loved. I had an opportunity to see a number of his works in Vienna several years ago.
Lanterns and Orange
A little departure from the favorite landscape paintings in this still life.
Lanterns and Orange
Oil on Linen
Party Time
A departure from some of the landscapes. Painted the canvas in a first layer red, purple background. That was followed by the lines.

Oil on Linen
A lot of juried exhibitions and gallery commitments seem to come around the same time. Now that the gallery is closed I find it easier to make that choice. More paintings to sell, so gallery choices are more critical. Cash flow becomes a reality.
Approaching the canvas with an open mind can be interesting at times. Just as in my landscape abstracts, I let the work develop as it goes. The "Selfie" was accepted into the 2015 Hoosier

Evening Fog
Oil on Linen
Completed this work with a flat #3 and #5. The finished painting looked pretty complex and busy, so I knocked the color down with a white glaze.

Zionsville Hollyhocks
Oil on Canvas Board
For the last three years I have been driving over to Zionsville to paint hollyhocks that have been growing in one of the resident's yards. This time around a young woman came out of the house to see what I was doing. She had moved in during the Winter and said she was quite shocked when the flowers started growing. Does anyone ever plant these flowers as they are rare to see in modern gardens.

Last Light
Oil on Panel
This is a plein air painting I did last summer and recently reworked the color as well as bump the contrast a bit. I also have started using the cold wax in the mix with my paints.
Wednesday, April 30, 2014
Black Bamboo
Oil on Linen
As I started the design, I was reminded of the bamboo grove I have near the studio. It was interesting to play the strong vertical shapes against the warm/cool and light/dark colors. I thought of Munsell among the trees.
T. C. Steele
Oil on Canvas Board
This was the painting I completed at the 2013 T. C Steele Paint Out. Always enjoying painting on his property as I feel the spirit of him paint in his nearby studio every time I've been there.

Autumn Walk Through
Oil on Linen
After completing the smaller version, "Over the Hill" I wanted to do a larger version. I changed the ratio of sky/ground with more pattern creeping in with the curves of the limbs.
Landscape Patterns
Oil on Linen
The painting is a continued exploration of abstract patterns and shapes in the landscape.

Zionsville Path
Oil on Canvas
I was gett ing ready to send several paintings to Steeple Gallery and realized I had not photographed a painting completed last summer South of Zionsville. The path back through the field is always a mystery as to where it goes and who may choose to walk it.
Thursday, February 27, 2014
Just Over the Hill
Oil on Linen
Continuing the series. Started out as a 40"x30", but I didn't like the bottom and the horizon ended up at the middle point. I liked the spatial contrast better with this crop. Of course, now I have to adjust the stretcher and stretch again.

January Ground Cover
Oil on Linen
The 2014 Winter has been a record breaker with one snow storm followed by another. With little or no traffic in the gallery, I have been painting in my studio. This image is based on my many looks at Indiana fields covered with snow, melting slightly before the next blanket of white.

Into the Woods
Oil on Linen
This is a smaller version of the Secret Passage painting completed a few weeks ago. This work has the same color palate, but with slight changes to the various color passages. Also need a smaller version as the entries this year for the Indiana Artists Exhibition are going to be 38" max in dimension.
Wednesday, January 15, 2014
Secret Passage
Oil on Linen
Secret Passage is all about laying down soft, low key colors and creating a space that leads the eye through the entire painting. It also brings back the fond memories of walking in the woods as a child, moving branches, creating a path and finding an opening to the field void of trees.

Field of Dreams
Field of Dreams
This was completed during the snowstorm of January, 2014. With 3 days in my studio, I wanted to continue the exploration of color and design in the modern landscape.

First Snow
First Snow
Oil on Linen
The painting was influenced by the late evening long shadows. The snow takes on so many colors in the shadows and shapes created by a light source. Using the square brush, I painted the various shapes and tilted the horizon for more design interest.
Saturday, November 30, 2013
Among the Trees
Oil on Linen
I have started a new series of more fragmented color shapes in the landscape. I plan to explore the subject with various color palettes. In this painting almost every color is greyed down with a mix of "bluf" made by Vasari and Gamblin Mars Black.

Montana Cabin
Oil on Panel
This was the cabin that the six artists stayed in for a week to paint and view the sites, mainly Yellowstone. The cabin is located on the J Bar L Ranch owned by one of the granddaughters of the Rockefellers. The ranch is in the very Southern area of Montana near Idaho and Wyoming. With 20,000 acres, it took 2 hours just to drive across the rand from East to West.
Early Morning at the Ranch
Oil on panel
During the first part of the week we drove to the ranch to see the cowboys prepare the horses for the morning work. There were horses coming in from a night on the range to be fed and saddled. There were many photo opportunities and as I turned I saw this view of the moon with this strange color in the sky.
Oil on Panel
Midweek, we drove to Yellowstone to view the absolute wonders of this park. I set up my painting gear on the side of the road and painted this great view. Impossible to capture the feeling of the vast space, the running water, the fly fishermen wading into the waters, the animals roaming about. And, not forgetting the raven, about 18" long that was determined my palette had colored food for him.
Montana Barn
Oil on Panel
This was another painting that took almost an hour to find. We drove across the ranch and turned North to reach the end of the 20,000 acres to find this barn sitting nicely on a hill with the Aspen trees behind.
Idaho Aspen
Oil on Panel
This was the final painting during the Montana trip. We had to drive for almost an hour to get to the wooded area. When I saw this area, I knew this was the set up. Stood in the road and painted for about two hours. The Aspen were just starting to change. The area was about 100 yards into Idaho.

November Evening in Indiana
Oil on Linen
I was asked to do a larger Winter painting for a photo session this week. My smaller plein air canvases are prepped with an orange background, but for this studio painting, I started with a dark blue background. It's always interesting working in a different manner and analyzing color as the painting builds. For this landscape, I wanted to show the snow in the last light of the day as well as the dark trees silhouetted against the sky.
Wisconsin Road
Oil on Panel
This painting was completed in my studio after returning from the Door County Paintout. It was interesting there driving some of the back roads. I could see a house back to the left that this road led to and after setting up, sure enough a woman drove out to see what I was doing. I used the small study to create this work with a more inviting sky. The original session ended in a hard and long rain.

The House of the Singing Winds
Oil on Panel
Drove to Brown County yesterday to paint the house of T. C. Steele. Always a magic place to paint and be with the spirit of a great painter.
Thursday, July 4, 2013
Summer Field
Working on pastel painting and experimenting with various papers. Thinking about doing pastel and oil paintings at the Door County Paint Out.

Landscape Mosaic
Oil on Linen
Finished in the studio this week. Continuing the series of color shapes in an abstract landscape format.

Western Sky West of Noblesville
Oil on Panel
This was the painting I completed for the Noblesville Paint-Out a few weeks ago. It was actually my second painting and came off better than the first. No fuss and only had 1.5 hours to finish before judging. Won a merit award...pleased with that.
Monday, June 24, 2013
Earth Layers II
Oil on Linen
Reworked this painting after getting it back from a show. I hated to break my rule of going back instead of moving on to a new one, but thought the changes were worth it.
Added note: Just heard today that it was accepted into the 2013 Hoosier Salon.
Sunday, June 23, 2013
ACA Awards
An exciting night last night at the Art Collector Awards, sponsored by the Art Design Consultants in their beautiful gallery space in Cincinnati, Ohio. I received two awards from Studio El, one of the largest publishing companies in the US as well as gallery representation from Art Design Consultants.

New Harmony Country Road
Oil on Panel
This is the small work I completed for the "Field to Finish" Exhibition that will be held at the New Harmony Gallery in April, 2014
Wednesday, May 1, 2013
Backyard Mosaic
Continuing with pastel this week working out some new patterns and compositions. I like the softness of the pastel and the ability to build color with the density of the mark.
Wednesday, April 24, 2013
New Harmony Country Road
This is a pastel painting I did coming back from the New Harmony Paint-out. This may be the finish study for the "Field to Finish" Exhibition 2014 Exhibition.
