Skip to comments.15 Programming Skills Most Coveted By Employers
Posted on 09/04/2013 12:51:44 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
More than ever, companies need coders. And while tech firms do the bulk of the hiring, the demand for programmers spans industries and only seems to be growing.
From writing basic HTML to building complex logic into mobile applications, the ability to smartly craft lines of code continues to be one of the most in-demand and often, well-paying skill sets one can have.

So what skills are the most sought after? That's an ever-fluctuating, somewhat difficult thing to track. Normally, we'd avoid turning to a single source for such data, but its very nature makes Indeed.com an ideal place to look. The job search site aggregates more than 16 million listings from a wide range of sources, so it's fairly comprehensive.
It may be almost 20 years old, but the object-oriented scripting language is still going strong. After existing for years as a general purpose programming language, Ruby got a huge bump from the advent of Ruby on Rails, the hyper-popular Web development framework. Since the rise of Rails, the two have practically become synonymous, but Ruby has plenty of applications as a general scripting language.
Microsoft's server-side Web development framework is more controversial than many of its peers, in part because it's a Microsoft product. Still, its ability to build dynamic sites and Web applications is favored by many programmers and, more importantly, the organizations who hire them.
AJAX is actually multiple technologies bundled into one. Asyncronous JavaScript and XML was first popularized by Web applications like Google Maps and Gmail. The ability of websites to retrieve data in the background without reloading the page is something we now take for granted, but it was groundbreaking stuff a decade ago. Today, using a conglomeration of HTML, CSS, JavaScript (or JSON) and XML to build asynchronous Web apps is still popular, and the job listings prove it.
For a 30-year-old programming language, Objective C is looking pretty good. It's the core of development for both of Apple's operating systems. Its roots in Mac OS X go back to Steve Jobs' days at NeXT and it's at the heart of iOS. Considering the the platform's enormous popularity, it's no wonder that Objective-C is coveted by employers across industries.
PHP is huge. The open source, server-side scripting language runs on more than 20 million websites and powers high-profile sites we deal with every day, including Facebook and Wikipedia. Any blog, news site or other website built using Wordpress or Drupal is making use of PHP as well. It's all over the Web, even if you can't see it by clicking "view source."
Python is a general purpose programming language that can be used in a variety of ways. Known for its clean and efficient code, Python is used by players as notable as Google and NASA. It's also what Dropbox is written in. In fact, the technology is so important to Dropbox that the company hired Python author Guido van Rossum away from Google late last year.
Dropbox isn't the only one hiring Python talent. There are currently 19,455 Python job listings on Indeed.com.
Perl was very popular in the 90s for its ability to create CGI scripts that beefed up the functionality of early Web pages. But the dynamic programming language sometimes called the "Swiss Army chainsaw" of languages is capable of a wide range of feats. In addition to Web development, it's used for things like system administration, building desktop apps, game development and even bioinformatics.
C has been around since the early 1970s and remains one of the most widely-used programming languages. It may lack the sexiness of the latest Web development frameworks, but C is what lots of operating systems, kernel level software and hardware drivers are made of.
Not to be confused with C or C++, C# is an object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft in 2000 to compete with Java. Programmers will debate the merits of one language versus the other until the end of time, but tyhe fact remains that employers are hiring C# programmers like crazy.
XML is everywhere. The markup language is used to define structured information in a wide variety of contexts. On the Web, it forms the basis of RSS and XHTML, it talks to databases and is paired with JavaScript for AJAX interactivity, among much else. It's even extended beyond the Web and has found its way into the heart of desktop applications like Microsoft Word and Adobe InDesign. The list goes on and on. And so do the job listings.
Like its predecessor C, C++ is used widely in operating systems, desktop apps, developing games, hardware drivers and much else. C++ has a reputation for being more complex and inefficient than some of the alternatives , but it is nonetheless an incredibly widely used and important programming language.
On the Web, JavaScript is what makes things interactive. This is especially true now that the rise of tablets and smartphones has bumped Flash from its once-prominent perch. Whether it's trendy frameworks like jQuery or the JSON data interchange standard, companies need JavaScript-focused talent like never before.
It's only natural that the language at the heart every Web page would be in high demand, even as native mobile app development and back-end cloud technologies command bigger ad bigger chunks of IT budgets. In fact, as tablets, smartphones and cloud-hosted services proliferate, the importance of the Web grows along with it. The conglomeration of Web technologies known as HTML5 is all the rage at the moment, but hypertext markup is more than a fad. It is, and will remain, the skeleton of the Web for the foreseeable future.
Java certainly has its critics, not to mention some well-publicized security issues. But the object-oriented language remains in heavy demand and used for a wide range of purposes. It can't possibly hurt that Google uses Java as the basis for Android application development, a sector that isn't likely to slowdown anytime soon.
NoSQL databases might be getting all the attention as of lately, but more traditional, structured databases are still going strong. Thus, SQL, the programming language for querying, manipulating and managing relational databases is in high demand. Considering the sheer volume of data being generated everyday, it's no shock that having the ability to help manage it is such a marketable skill. There are currently more than 98,000 SQL jobs indexed by Indeed.com.
No mention of MSFT .net?
Java - The New COBOL.
Replaced by C Sharp?
#4 is getting to be very important, knowledge of JQuery is becoming a must.
dot net is the most sought after where i work
It's number 7: C#.
It's a representation of data.
XML and JSON should be grouped together. I
Seems like C sharp and ASP.NET should be higher.
We are a .Net shop.
Just being able to sling some code together in this language or that language - at least from where I sit - is not going to get you that dream job. More typically you have to have some additional expertise in some specific subject area - be that embedded systems, web design, computer graphics - the list can go on and on. Just because you can write a while loop or a for loop in .Net (if such a thing is even possible lol) is probably not going to be enough in and of itself.
#7 and #14, C# and ASP.NET
Just what I thought - no need for being able to write comprehensive, cohesive, and attainable REQUIREMENTS! ;-P
I don't feel like expending a lot of effort to become good at 2005-era corporate-style Java or C# is the way for a young developer to go right now. There is a big change looming ahead, and companies will be forced to stop paying big money for big, complicated, in-house projects. They are going to start demanding quick, cheap wins and that means web technologies, Open Source, the LAMP stack, and project teams of disposable programmers and temporary analysts.
Just use an Indian tech writer to scribble down a few of the CEO's brainstorms and you're done - what's the problem? :)
RE: No mention of MSFT .net?
C# is on the list. You can't programming in C# if .NET is not installed.
I'd agree, but you also have to say the same thing about HTML.... As someone who is in software development, I cringe when people say they can "program in HTML"...
But the article was about "programming skills", not languages, and being able to represent data as XML (either by hand or programmatically) is a skill.
And you can cross the line with XML with XSLT.
PHP is amateurville. I can't imagine a first rate pro website being written in it.
It should be HTML/CSS. CSS is not easy to master.
Who needs requirements? Marketing tells the customer what the new software will do and management tells the programmers to make that happen. :=)
At least that's what happened at the last place I worked. And it all worked out so well. </sarcasm>
PERL isn't going anywhere.
No way XML and HTML are programming languages. The people who do are the same ones who call AR15's automatic weapons, and a Magazine a Clip. Try to put XML into a loop. You can't that's called XSLT.
Remember Journalist's are not too bright.
Where does Fortan77 fall on the list?
C# is a programming language, of several that fall under the .Net Framework. .Net is the framework of classes and functionality that make up an overall set of development tools. .Net is not a language. ASP.Net is also not a language but a web development component of the .Net Framework. ASP.Net can be implemented using C# or any of the .Net capable languages.
You better C# or you'll B ( B-Flat).
It's not in demand today unfortunately...
Fell off in 78
I've kept mine all these years just in case...I have to jump back into mainframe processing. Still have my assembly language books as well.
And your Easytrieve manual.
Those of us who understand the JES2 and JCL references are probably the only real programmers here.
The last computer language class I took was PL1. Before that it was FORTRAN.
You just need to know it to maintain or update the old ones. Same with Perl.
When Java becomes the #1 in demand language then the Seventh Seal will have been broken.
Wow that is good news for me, this 63 year old who's retirement plan is to die at my desk as I study for my next Microsoft certification in Querying 2012 SQL Server databases
HTML 5 is starting to edge toward a programming language. But, I agree -- it's not there yet.
"Programming", bah. It's all just COBOL with pictures these days.
The Java environment is the same, with multiple languages supported on the JVM, namely Groovy, and my personal favorite, Scala.
What's a S0C4?
The article combined Javascript and JSON, but they aren't really the same. Javascript is the programming, JSON is the data.
JSON is JavaScript Object Notation, a data representation language that is much less complex than XML. Developers are migrating to it because it doesn't take as many resources to parse a JSON object, compared to XML. If you are dealing with millions of messages, you can save a lot of CPU time with JSON.
You can easily convert JSON to XML, but not necessarily the other way around. But even when they represent the same data, they are just two ways to express it.
Knowing Java isn't just knowing about the language (ditto with PERL), it's knowing all of the packages out there. You have to know about things like Apache Commons or Spring, so you don't wind up reinventing the wheel.
Foxpro is the worlds best programming language.
PHP is used on a vast majority of web sites (that require server side programming). I remember reading recently from a Alexa ranking that the of the top million web sites, nearly 80% use PHP.
Check out the Laravel framework. It will guarantee its popularity (and growth) of PHP for the foreseeable future.
Every language has it's quirks.
Drupal and Wordpress are PHP-based are they not?
I heard there big demand for CpplEmails
Yeah, I saw that on usenet just the other day.

His First State of the Union Address.
I'm listening to the President's first State of the Union address as I surf online. I'm just imagining the hateful, mean-spirited, nasty remarks; the seething, the drool, the blasphemy, the cursing, the mockery, the derision hurled at their television sets by his critics. The stomping, the protest, the anger...

text: All the gold and silver companies have been on downtrend since quite sometime. This is mainly because of the decline in prices of the precious metals. For FNV, the fundamentals have not been very strong with the company reporting a net loss in Q4'12. Even the revenue had declined on a YoY basis. The stock is trading well below its short term averages, and there has been lot of momentum to the decline. The 10 day average volumes have been in excess of one million shares compared with 411K for the three month average. The stock has fallen from above $61 in October 2012 to its 52 week low ($34.53) made on April 17, 2013. It has bounced sharply from those levels and is now almost 15% up from there. However, such long periods of declines do not get over so quickly and the stock has to spend time around current levels to make a march towards the 50 DMA of $43.35. However, the recent crash has also created opportunities for contracts which are available at low valuations. FNV, being in the streaming business, should remain on the lookout for good quality development stage companies which are on the verge of starting production. Pershing Gold Corporation (PGLC) is about to start production in 2014, and is anticipated to produce 50K ounces of gold in the first year. There are other stories also, and FNV would do well to use the cash available to make investments in assets which can help it in the long term. Being a zero debt company, the cash can be put to good use as these depressing times are the best to buy assets. Coeur D'Alene Mines (CDE) recently had taken a stake in PGLC to take advantage of the capital appreciation expected over the next one year. FNV had recently put in $1 billion in Cobre Panama project.

Get down and dirty in the garden
by Katie Priebe
Katie Priebe, Peanut Butter Fruit, Fruit Garden, Planting Season, Sweet Red Plant
Peanut butter is probably one of my favorite foods on sandwiches and crackers. Did you know that you can grow a peanut butter fruit right from your home? This fruit (Bunchosia argentea) originated in South America. It has a hint of peanut butter flavor, and produces bright, yellow blossoms that will develop into a 1-inch oval fruit (about the size of a large olive). The peanut butter plant will go through several blooming cycles from March until October; the fruiting season is summer to fall. It is best maintained in a 12- to 14-inch pot and needs warmth and sun. Usually two fruits per flower stem develop.
Ripening happens quickly with the peanut butter plant. In a matter of days, the fruit will turn red and soft. There is sticky, sweet pulp in the fruit that has a hint of peanut butter in it.
Add the peanut butter fruit plant to your fruit garden this spring. Photo by Asit K. Ghosh Thaumaturgist/Courtesy Wikimedia Commons
The minimum indoor temperature for a peanut butter plant is 40 degrees. When fertilizing the plant make sure to apply a balanced fertilizer throughout the growing season. If you decide to grow it, make sure to watch out for aphids and spider mites. These are pests that could be a potential problem.
What do you think about this unique fruit garden plant? Let me know your thoughts.

A Walk in the Woods
Doubleday Canada, May 15, 2012 - Travel - 304 pages
God only knows what possessed Bill Bryson, a reluctant adventurer if ever there was one, to undertake a gruelling hike along the world's longest continuous footpath—The Appalachian Trail.
The 2,000-plus-mile trail winds through 14 states, stretching along the east coast of the United States, from Georgia to Maine. It snakes through some of the wildest and most spectacular landscapes in North America, as well as through some of its most poverty-stricken and primitive backwoods areas.
With his offbeat sensibility, his eye for the absurd, and his laugh-out-loud sense of humour, Bryson recounts his confrontations with nature at its most uncompromising over his five-month journey.
An instant classic, riotously funny, A Walk in the Woods will add a whole new audience to the legions of Bill Bryson fans.

When December 5th came and went, I emailed. I got a response that they were having supplier problems and thanks for my patience. I waited about another week then when I didn't receive my "won" gift cards, I emailed again. I continued to email every two to three days and never received a response from DealDash. I tried calling their posted number and got a recording saying to email Customer Support.
Finally, as Christmas was fast approaching and after seeing so many complaints and Facebook pages popping up with irate customers, I decided to file claims against Deal Dash through Pay Pal AND my credit card provider before time ran out. PayPal allows 45 days to file a claim. I filed for the items I had won and not received, and for the bid packs I purchased during the time I was winning (but not receiving my items). I would NOT have purchased more bid packs if I had any prior indication of not receiving what I won and paid for.
I, like another who filed a report here noticed that as soon as I filed with PayPal, my "shipped" item status changed to voided on the Deal Dash site. Then when they responded to Pay Pal, Deal Dash flipped the status back to "shipped" and gave a USPS tracking number of my items. These numbers do NOT correlate with USPS tracking numbers, nor any other carrier's numbers.
Currently I have 15 claims against Deal Dash, have not heard a word from them since the first response I got thanking me for my patience, and have not received any of my items since the third week of November. My credit card company has now charged back PayPal for the claims. Hopefully PayPal has better luck getting their money from Deal Dash than I have. I had to purchase the Christmas gifts I had won TWICE, thanks to Deal Dash's unethical practices. I want my money back.

#1 UPDATE Employee
DealDash Ships Thousands of Products Daily to Satisfied Customers!
AUTHOR: DealDash_Adam - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, January 21, 2013POSTED: Monday, January 21, 2013
Due to an unforeseen increase in the number of orders placed with us through the holidays, we experienced some shipping delays , but this does not mean that these orders were going unfulfilled. However, when customers file disputes with Paypal, it means that their payments are no longer verified and therefore any outstanding orders are placed on hold. This is why customers who complicate their accounts by filing these disputes see that their items are voided. Once someone from our finance team has a look at the disputes, they will place new orders or refund the payments according to the specifics of each case.
As you did not provide sufficient personal details for me to look up your account, I cannot comment on your specific situation. However, I assure you that everyone at DealDash worked feverishly this holiday season to get everyone their items before Christmas. We have currently been able to get back up to speed: items are now being shipped faster than ever before, and our customer support personnel are currently responding to all customer queries within 24 hours. Please don't hesitate to get in contact with us regarding your account, as we're available to help you with the issues you've described here or anything else you might need.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Join us at the Tuscany Suites on August 2nd & 3rd, 2016 for our 8th annual iteration of
Security BSides Las Vegas
The PvJ CTF Call For Volunteers is open!
Mission Statement:
BSidesLV is a non-profit organization designed to advance the body of Information Security knowledge, by providing an annual, two day, open forum for discussion and debate for security engineers and their affiliates. We produce a conference that is a source of education, collaboration, and continued conversation for information technologists and those associated with this field. The technical and academic presentations at BSidesLV are given in the spirit of peer review and advanced knowledge dissemination. This allows the field of Information Security to grow in breadth and depth, and continue in its pursuit of highly advanced scientifically based knowledge.
BSides Las Vegas isn't another "talk at you" conference. Everyone at BSides is a Participant.
Track after track, year after year, the security researchers, engineers, analysts and managers that present at BSidesLV are looking to engage our participants and be engaged by them. They want your feedback, insights, opinions and questions on the latest InfoSec topics and discussions of the Next Big Thing.
Our speakers don't talk at you, they converse with you.
Come join the conversation!
Events include:
- Proving Ground – Mentorship and Scholarship track for first time national speakers. Get paired with a great mentor, who will help you with your presentation from CFP to podium AND receive up to $500 to help offset the costs of traveling to Vegas to present. More specific information below.
- Breaking Ground – Ground Breaking Information Security research and conversations on the "Next Big Thing". Interactively discussing your research with our participants and getting feedback, input and opinion. No preaching from the podium at a passive audience.
- Common Ground – Other topics of interest to the security community. e.g., Lock-picking, hardware hacking, mental health/burnout, Law, Privacy, Regulations, Risk, Crypto, Activism, etc. Again, interactive discussions with your peers and fellow researchers. Not passive lectures "at" an audience.
- Underground – OTR talks on subjects best discussed AFK. No press, no recording, no streaming, no names. Just you and your peers, discussing what matters, behind closed doors. Think about it.
- Ground Truth – Focused on innovative computer science and mathematics applied to security. Topics of interest include machine learning, natural language processing, Big Data technologies, cryptography, compression, data structures, zero knowledge proofs or just about anything academically publishable that usually baffles review committees for other conferences.
- I Am The Cavalry – Security that affects public safety and human life. Where our domain overlaps others, we must gather teammates and forge an alliance. Technical discussions cover medical devices, cars, and other connected technologies with a higher consequence of failure. Non-technical talks cover issues where security overlaps with the human condition, and building skills to influence change outside the echo chamber. See I Am The Cavalry or @iamthecavalry for more information.
- PasswordsLV – Focused on the (in)security of passwords and other authentication solutions, bringing together security researchers, password crackers, and experts in password security from around the globe in order to better understand and address the challenges surrounding digital authentication. This track explores all facets of authentication security, from analysis and education to creating, securing, cracking, and exploiting authentication solutions. See passwordscon for more information.
- Training Ground – consists of workshops and classes to give your students hands-on experience learning the latest and greatest. We accept proposals for 1/2 day, full-day and 2-day workshops.
- 2-day "Hire Ground" Career Track: Mock Interviews, Open Resume Review, Recruiter Bingo
- Joes vs Pros CTF, sponsored by Maven Security and Wilmington University
- Lock Pick Village
- Tuesday night Speaker, Sponsor, Donor Thank You Reception
- Water balloon fight to benefit Hakz4Kids
- Hacker Pyramid
- Wednesday night pool party sponsored by #STAGEFRIGHT #BBMFTW (Bug-Bounty Money For The Win!)
BSides Las Vegas Photo/Video/Recording Device Policy
Ensure you have the permission from anyone you photograph or record. This includes those in the background of your shot. "Crowd shots" from the front (facing the crowd) are strongly discouraged. No photo/video/audio recording in the Underground Track, period.
If you've accidentally taken a picture without permission, delete it. If you are asked by a participant to delete/blur a picture they did not give you permission to take, do so immediately.
We ask Press photographers to adhere to this policy, as well. A Press badge is not a pass to break these rules.
Upon a first infraction, you will receive one warning from BSidesLV Staff. Upon a second infraction you will be asked to give up your device to BSidesLV Safety & Security for the duration of the Con or to leave the Con with your device, your choice. You may return to the Con once you have deposited your device in a secure location, offsite.
There are two official BSidesLV Photographers. Both will have professional cameras and Staff badges. They are aware of this policy and are not immune, except in cases where they have been requested to document activities, official parties, presentations, etc., for BSidesLV PR purposes. If you believe that either of the official BSidesLV photographers are breaking these rules, or abusing their privilege, please bring it to the attention of BSidesLV Safety & Security or any BSidesLV Staff member.
Thank you for your cooperation!
We have NO TOLERANCE for physical/verbal/sexual harassment of any human!
Our "Code of Conduct" is "Be Excellent to Each Other" AKA the Golden Rule.
Failing that, it is "Do not be an Ass* or we will kick your ass out!".
Asking questions of a speaker during their talk, to get clarity or debate a point is NOT being an ass – heckling or haranguing the speaker IS. If you are not sure, ask, or err on the side of basic decency and common courtesy. If what they are doing would not be acceptable to have done to you, your best friend, your worst enemy, your sister, niece, daughter, brother, nephew, son, mother, father, or any human being, do not let them treat anyone else that way – whether you know them or not. If someone asks you to stop – stop.
If you are having an issue with a BSidesLV participant of ANY badge type, find a radioed member of our Safety & Security Team in the red BSidesLV t-shirts (or any staff member, in purple shirts). They will call our Safety & Medical Response Team (S.M.R.T), who will assist you in determining the next steps for you to feel safe and heard.
*Staff reserves the right to determine what constitutes "Being an Ass".
We can't wait to see you in Vegas, Baby!

I called the shop back before ordering the parts and asked about the price of the parts and was told that price was not high and that they won't install parts unless you buy them from them. Their policy is fine, it's theirs, even if I don't agree with it since it is the same part number they were going to install and not a knock-off part, but their 380% markup over a retail website is ridiculous since they probably pay even less than I did.
Anytime you get a parts quote from them, check it online as they might be ripping you off.

Parts markup is normal business practice, and every business does it. The steak you ate at a restaraunt did not cost them $20. You could buy it at a grocer yourself and save about $17.

Aunty Betty Worked on indigenous and environmental issues in relation to her people's land. She linked up with IWW people in Melbourne in the mid 1990's.
There were 300 people at the funeral. Many of those came from Portland and south west Victoria to pay their respects to Aunty Betty. The funeral was at midday followed by a large entourage who travelled to her burial site at Lake Condah Mission Cemetery.

The General Strike
by Ralph Chaplin
Thousands of thoughtful and class-conscious workers in years past have looked to the General Strike for deliverance from wage slavery. Today their hopes are stronger than ever. Their number has been increased with additional thousands who are confident that the General Strike, and the General Strike alone, can save Humanity from the torture and degradation of the continuation of capitalism and the misery and privation of its recurrent wars and depressions.
The General Strike is the child of the Labor Movement. It is Labor's natural reaction to a system of society based upon the private ownership of the machinery of production. It is Labor's ultimate attitude in the class struggle. It is Labor's answer to the problem of economic disorganization.
Direct Action – July 1st 1914
A Fight to the Finish
I.W.W. Men Jailed at Port Pirie.
The Following is from the Sydney "Sun" of June 25th
PORT PIRIE, Thursday.. "A serious position has arisen over members of the Industrial Workers of the World claiming the right to hold meetings in the public street.Charles Reeves, the organiser, was recently sentenced to 10 days imprisonment for refusing to move on when requested to do so by a constable. Since then members of the organisation have defied the police by holding a meeting in the street every night. Five of their number were on Wednesday sentenced to 21 days, and they told the magistrate that they intended speaking again when released.
Members of the I.W.W. have arrived from Broken Hill and Adelaide to continue the free speech campaign, and a wire received from the Barrier last night states that another large crowd from that city will arrive here to-morrow by train. Speakers are also coming from Sydney, Melbourne and other parts of the Commonwealth. At a meeting last night the crowd collided with the foot police, and mounted troopers were called out. If it had not been for the leaders appealing to the crowd to keep their heads a serious disturbance would have taken place. The police several times broke the mob up, but eventually had to let the meeting proceed owing to being outnumbered. Police reinforcements will probably arrive from Adelaide to-morrow.
Since the campaign started the police have taken the names of about 20 speakers, who will all appear at the police court. Violent and inflammatory speeches were made at last nights meeting, and the police were bitterly attacked, on man, referring to the constable's job as being "the lowest which a man would take." "The police are so low and degraded," continued the speaker, "that when they die they will need to climb a ladder to reach Hell." A Russian member gave an address in his own language; another speaker said the rulers of Port Pirie were the most damnable mob that ever lived in any town in Australia. Members of the I.W.W. had all come to Port Pirie quite prepared to be gaoled for advocating their cause; but none of them minded, and the authorities would soon find that the gaols were not large enough to hold them. They already had comrades coming from all over Australia to carry on the fight, and, if necessary, they would come from America. He himself was concerned, he said, in a similar fight in America, and there the members of the organisation killed a policeman for every member of the I.W.W. who was shot by the police. When the authorities were up against the I.W.W. they would find they were up against a tough proposition. Until additional police are sent here it is probable that the meetings will be allowed to occur without intervention..
Reeve informed the magistrate that he would continue with I.W.W. propaganda, gaol or no, whereupon the Beak threatened to commit him for contempt of Court. "Direct Action here and now wishes to inform the Beak in particular, and the judicial vampires of capitalism in general that the I.W.W. never did have anything but contempt of the most radical kind for the legal institutions of the capitalist class. We wish further to intimate that before this fight is through the Bosses round Pirie way will have reason to regret the day their hireling prostitutes interfered with the Freedom of Speech.
The fight is by no means only in these chance encounters with police authority. In Sydney and other towns recently the authorities have hampered the I.W.W. in its propaganda work as far as they dared, and there is every reason to believe that, now that our principles are permeating the minds of the working class throughout Australia, a conspiracy as afoot to crush the organisation. Well go to it, you legal pimps and judicial parasites. We defy your laws, your courts, and your gaols. You have awakened too late. You may gaol individuals: principles and ideas still remain, and before you can now stop I.W.W. propaganda you will have to put your dishonoured and filthy claws on thousands of workers throughout the Commonwealth. And then some. Before twelve months have elapsed we will not alone have Free Speech in Port Pirie, but in every industrial centre in Australia.
We call upon all rebels and lovers of freedom to rally to the cause of Free Speech. Salvation Army ranters and fanatical sky pilots are allowed to make the night hideous in the streets of the city, because their teaching of the cowardly Christian "virtue" of meekness and servility is calculated to keep the workers in bondage. But discussion on industrial and economic subjects, according to the magisterial abortion who is handing out justice in Port Pirie, is an interference with the principles of freedom. Contempt of the Court! Bah! We spit upon you.
Meantime rebels at the scene of action: REMEMBER THE WOODEN SHOE. Never mind hitting the police. Hit the boss in his heart and soul.
Direct Action: July 15th 1914
The fight for free speech waged by the I.W.W. in Port Pirie has been won. The "authorities" who set the law in motion were for once compelled to recognise an authority and a power greater than themselves, the power of working class solidarity. The fighting spirit and the unswerving devotion to principle which characterises members of the I.W.W. the world over, were something that the "powers that be" had not estimated in their calculations.
The following letter, written from Port Pirie in the thick of the fight is illustrative of the spirit, the joyful enthusiasm, with which members of the organisation enter into conflict of this kind:- "We are having a hell of a grand fight in this town. When the fellow workers of Port Pirie sent out their "S.O.S." for help. We came by rail and boat, and bikes, tired legs and blistered feet, to show to the world that our solidarity was not a vain empty boast, and to demonstrate by precept and example that an injury to one was an injury to all.
At our next meeting the police tried to ride us down with their horses, but we beat them every time accompanied by roars of applause from the three thousand workers who constituted our audience. When those who were summoned appeared in the "sacred" court of justice they refused to kiss the dirty old book of capitalism. Chunks of I.W.W.ism were heaved at the j. P. on the bench, and his call for silence greeted with an hilarious and hearty laugh. Law and Order has got hell here this week. We flout their law, slang the police and tell the working-class that the Law is the Boss and the workers are the "ordered". If they organise on I.W.W. lines we will soon alter the old order of things.
The police took six more names last night, but they won't damp our spirits. They can gaol us or trample our faces in the dirty streets of Port Pirie, but they can never take from us the militant spirit that permeates the breast of every member of the Industrial Workers of the World. We will win this fight with passionate devotion to our principles, and we mean to win, irrespective of the sacrifices to be made.
We are hoboes and scamps and tired tramps,
NATIONALISATIONWhat it means. What it Leads to.
How the Boss Saves his Face
By Tom Barker
The most marked thing, in modern society is the development of scientific labour-saving machinery. Mechanical revolutions are taking place side by side with ever increasing rapidity. The day of handicraft and factory production has gone and in its place we have machinofacture, where not only the product itself but the very machinery, which produces it, are made by machinery. The modern machine eliminates all forms of skilled labour, and performs, with little or no supervision, the most elaborate functions.
Work and WagesBy Norman Rancie
It is not an uncommon sight to see members of the working class standing perplexed and baffled when asked that pertinent question "Is a rise in wages beneficial to the working class?"
Many maintain that it is a grave waste of time to fight for a rise in wages, because every time it is followed by an advance in prices, the workers being no better off and the employing class not affected in the least. This ignorant wail comes only from those not conversant with the present industrial system. To the student of Political Economy this question is easily answered: Yes; undoubtedly and undeniably yes! A rise in wages is always beneficial to the workers, and it behoves them to continually fight for more wages until the wages system be overthrown.
The dogma that a rise in wages is o good to the working class has been foisted upon suffering humanity by lying politicians and traitorous leaders with but one object in view: To keep the toiling masses from arising and seriously affecting the profits of the master-class. The workers find themselves, every now and then, forced to demand higher wages in an effort to keep pace with the ever-souring prices of commodities, It is useless to blame the Labor Party, the Liberal Party, or the Socialist Party for the existence of these prices.
No statesman or ruler in the universe can deny the working of this self-evident economic law. In the lands of trusts, in the lands of no trusts; under protection or free trade; under conservative, liberal or labour governments, it matters not. From every corner of the globe; from all sorts, colours and creeds of workers, comes the one and the same cry, "What can be done to present the high cost of living?" Because prices of certain articles are high it does not necessarily mean that those particular articles have increased in value.
No! It is the tendency of all commodities to day to decrease in value. The value of a commodity is determined by the amount of necessary social labour embodied in its production. It should be plain to all, that in the machine age, the same amount of labour is not spent in producing commodities as formerly. Their value ust, therefore, necessarily decrease.
High prices simply mean that gold – the universal medium of exchange – has decreased in value at a more rapid rate than other commodities.
Gold has been adopted as the universal medium of exchange merely because of its peculiar adoptability. It wears well and is easily recognised; it is almost impervious to counterfeit, and can be carried in a very small compass.
Gold is a commodity, as are labour-power, mules, coal, sheep, jam, boots, automobiles or socks. All commodities have decreased in value owing to inventions and new labour saving appliances. Gold – the medium of exchange – has decreased in value even more rapidly, until the sovereign to-day does not approach in its purchasing power the sovereign of years gone by.
The commodity gold – according to experts – costs less than half as much as it did a few years ago, by reason of the newer and more economical processes of treatment. It will be plain, then, to all that the sovereign has lost some fifty percent of its previous purchasing power.
Having learned, then, that out wages will buy merely about half of what they purchased a generation ago, is there not sufficient justification for making a bold bid for more wages and take back the loot that has been stolen?
The wages of the working class, in the aggregate, are determined by the necessities of life; the necessity of reproducing its labour-energy from day to day. Why not, then, fellow workers, make some of those so-called luxuries, necessities? The necessities of today were luxuries yesterday.

Charleston, W.Va. (AP) -- The coal industry is responding with diplomacy to Sen. Robert C. Byrd's attack on mountaintop removal mining.
The National Mining Association says it agrees with most of the West Virginia democrat's comments, including statements that coal remains an essential energy source.
Highly efficient mountaintop mines are common in parts of Appalachia but widely opposed as too damaging by environmentalists.
The statement Byrd issued Thursday says the practice enjoys little support in Washington.
Moreover, he says the industry isn't helping by attacking opponents and sowing fear in the Appalachian coalfields.
The mining association says coal mining is adapting to the 21st century by embracing better safety equipment and technology while remaining vital to the economy.

Matchwinner types...
I know its badly seen in here to critize our mighty club and the gaffer but....
4 draws in a row against mid/bottom sides, another mediocre year awaits us (trophy wise) finger crossed it wont happen, but....
What we clearly need is proven matchwinner types - we pass and play like no other team and my god it looks great at times, but it doesnt win us a great deal of trophies...
Our attacking midfielders simply doesnt know how to kill a game.. Hleb have started overplaying badly like last season - he finds the nearest opposition player and dribbles into him... Rosicky is clearly not suited for the English game, way too fragile... Van Persie - great matchwinner potential, but can we rely on a guy who plays 1/3 of the games every season ??
We badly need star quality matchwinning players like Torres, Ronaldo, Rooney, Gerrard, even Joe Cole who keeps going directly for goal when needed... And wengers reply is as usual "i wont buy" - his blind faith in this squad is killing our season....
And that said, my god I hope i am wrong, but its just frustrating how we cant open up games. We know away teams come here with 11 men in front of their own goal, but hey its the same for united and Chelsea - A team like 'boro dont come all guns blazing at Old trafford do they. The difference is the lack of matchwinning types here.
Your thoughts ?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I have said in an other post that I find it some what arrogant to suggest we can not improve on our current squad over the summer.
IMO if we have the cash, which the club and manager keep telling us we have, we should strengthen by buying over the summer.
My novice prefference would be another striker to replace Eduardo (who might or might not return during the second half of next season) but I also think we could use more depth in the back. Gallas is getting older and Senderos just does not do it for me.
Clearly the lack of scoring from midfield has caused us a lot of dropped points but who knows young guys like Walcott might start to contribute.
Rosicky I love but agree with you that he is a liability in the reliability department.

Since we are not Aw's personal little experiment as someone so aptly put it there should be some kind of overhaul during the summer; players who are not contributing much should be off-loaded and this includes Rosicki; Diaby and even RVP. Wenger has always failed to strengthen the team when we were in a position of strength in the past. Just look at Fergie; after winning a league he splashes big and will possibly be rewarded for this. When Wenger says he is not spending this summer this sounds unbelievable. Does he really believe we are so close to perfection? If we were we would not be where we are right now; in danger of winning nothing! It is not always about losing; it is the manner...
I agree sometime we overplay and didnt have enough shots. but i disagree we didnt have matchwinner. We have a few matchwinners, but they are still in-mature, like Cse and Wallcott. The main question is whether we should buy "ready meal" or "organic home make food"
Ready meal - more money spend, not guarantee taste good, but likely fill you up and quick
Organic home make food- Have to wait but cheap, always taste better etc...
well ..... we might have to wait another year to see whats happen....sign oooo

If we have injury prone players in the creative areas
then we have a problem. Hleb's been ok for a while now , that's been good but unusual . Tired though?
Rosicky doesn't look like he will play again this season. Playing through the middle has been our way lately because we don't have a natural wide man. Teams can play narrow and stop us.
Not hard to sort out if we get a winger.
Thought Martins was good in second half last night. He would fit in.
There aren't enough at the club now and we can't break teams down. Eduardo was doing ok as he could find space ....
Sure we will address this in the summer...
Without Ronaldo, Mancs would still be behind us
and we are gonna need that type of player , a goal scoring midfielder . Remember Overmars , Pires ,Ljunberg . Quaresma? what u think?

I kept the service for about 5 months and did not notice any traffic or leads from the service so I felt it was not for me. I called the company and was placed on a never ending hold by a machine. I then emailed my account manager the cancel request but my emails started bouncing back. This manager continued to send messages from the same address. I attempted again multiple times to call with no success.
This went on for nearly 2 months when I looked for another email address and sent my cancel request to that email. Still no response. I then contacted the BBB and filed a complaint, and also my credit card company to cancel my card. It was 1 day too late as 411.ca had taken another payment.
411.ca responded to the BBB 4 days after I filed the complaint stating that they have a very active customer service and gave me the same number I called so many times before and 2 email addresses I was unaware of. Said I should put my request through those means.
At this point I wanted my money back, so I faxed the credit card company the details and emails I sent. I then tried to call 411.ca again and this time waited on hold for a long while when an answering machine finally kicked in. This was straight from hold music. I left my message stating about the issue and the BBB complaint. I then emailed one of the email addresses they assured would get results. I let them know of the situation and explained how upset I was and I wanted my money back.
I still have gotten no call back and am about to continue my report with the BBB. So as of this report, I still have their service, no refund, no call back, nothing.
I did some searching on google and found that this is common practice and it seems to happen often. There are plenty of reviews and reports of people having gone through this exact situation. One report mentions a fake bad review by an employee of 411.ca after making a big fuss to cancel, which to be fair can not be verified.
Stay away from this company, you will really regret giving them any bank or credit information. CONSUMER BEWARE!

AP Source: Broncos, Fox agree on 3-year deal
Published: Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 9:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 9:26 p.m.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - A person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press that coach John Fox has agreed to a new three-year contract with the Denver Broncos.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn't been announced, said the team ripped up Fox's 2014 contract and replaced it with a deal that runs through 2016.
GM John Elway said in early February that Fox would get a new deal this offseason.
Fox has gone 37-17 with three AFC West titles in his three seasons in Denver.
He overcame a heart operation in November to lead the Broncos to an appearance in the Super Bowl, where they lost 43-8 to Seattle.

Note: This story has been changed to correct the sequence in which the shootings occurred. Diana Buckley appears to have shot her husband first, according to Coroner Bob Allen.
Married couple Michael Buckley, 62, and Diana Buckley, 60, were found dead Friday afternoon in an apparent homicide/suicide in their Hamilton Township home, according to Monroe County Coroner Bob Allen.
The couple appeared to have been dead for at least three weeks, he said.
The couple left a note that seemed to indicate they had made a suicide pact.
Both died from gunshot wounds, and it appeared Diana Buckley shot her husband before taking her own life, Allen said.
A handgun was found at the scene.
A state trooper went to the home, off Neola Road in Snydersville, at about 5:30 p.m. for a welfare check after a concerned relative's call.
The trooper, after waiting a short time, entered the residence and found the couple.
The Buckleys had extensive medical problems, and numerous medications were found in the home.
"He had a lot of issues, and she did too," Allen said. "They felt like they couldn't continue," according to the note, Allen said. "There was no quality of life."
Police found mail in their mailbox dating back to February.
Autopsies will be performed at Lehigh Valley Hospital on Monday.

The first weekend of college football has come and gone, and my liver went with it. Here are my 10 musings from the first week…
10) Oklahoma State defeats directional Michigan school and looks average
For a good two plus quarters of football Thursday night, Central Michigan was better than Oklahoma State. Trailing CMU 13-10 in the 3rd, the Cowboy defense was giving up chunks of yards and the OSU offense could do nothing on the ground. It looked like it may be rough night, and nobody would be wearing their OSU t-shirt to work on casual Friday.
Then Mike Gundy fired Mike Yurcich. Well, probably not literally. Just seemed like it.
Editor's Note: We'd like to thank Gravy for another fine season of recapping the college football games. When you read this, I hope a little tear falls from your eye and drops in your whiskey. It would be fitting.
1) 40-6
The Cheap Ass Sporting Goods Bowl was the perfect microcosm of the issues plaguing this program since the end of September.
A great way to exorcise the demons of Bedlam would have been a fast start. Not going three and out (including what should have been an INT on an awful, yet foreshadowing 3rd down pass from Trevor Knight). And certainly not giving up a 65 yard touchdown pass on the first play to an offense that mustered 17 points against Boston College, 16 points against Syracuse, and 6 points against Georgia Tech.
Fine. Whatever. Let's regroup and play good, sound, fundamental football. Which would NOT include getting caught offsides on a fucking field goal attempt (that was blocked …) or getting caught *wait for it* offsides on a pick six. OR … throwing two GD horrific interceptions in the first half, one of which was returned for a touchdown. OR … continuing to give up 3rd down conversions by not covering a simple 7 yard out. OR … missing an extra point.
Again, perfect synopsis for the season.
The Game
The Sooners led OSU 35-21 with 7:54 to play.
Game over.
Tyreek Hill returns the ensuing kick off to the 40 of OSU. OSU three and out.
Game. Over.
How in the blue hell does OU lose?! No decent team loses this game. But OU is no decent team. They punt with just over 5 minutes in the game. No chance OSU comes back to win.
GAME OVER … Right?!
Mason Rudolph to Brandon Shepard for the score with just under 5 minutes to play. OU goes three and out. No timeouts left for the pokes. Zach Sanchez picks the ball off with three minutes left. OU goes three and out. Punt, OSU runs into the kicker after OSU's Tyreek Hill fair catches at the 15. And instead of just dealing with the OSU offense at the 15 with no timeouts and under a minute left …
Oklahoma and Bob Stoops do the unthinkable .. the idiotic – they take the penalty and kick the ball to Hill again. Literally the only guy on the field who shouldn't have the ball is given the ball is purposely given the ball. In space. Anyone want to venture a guess as to how this worked out?????
If Saturday left any doubts, Samaje Perine has officially made it.
Yesterday, the Taiwanese Animators released a video recapping the OU running back's record-setting day in Gaylord Oklahoma Memorial, or as OSU fans like to call it, The Big Gay.
The video is amazingly accurate in its storytelling. It shows stereotypical rain-soaked OU fans enjoying the game…
Sterling Shepard using a toy he bought from Patricia's (or the Hustler Store) to massage his groin…
And KU defenders showcasing their tackling skills…
Check out the entire video after the jump. You'll probably want to watch it three or four times like I just did…
10) Samaje Perine
Last week, Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon broke LaDainian Tomlinson's 15-year-old NCAA single game rushing record when he rushed for 408 yards against Nebraska.
Hello 427.
On a rainy afternoon in Norman, a game where dozens of people cared… where alums stayed home (e.g. this guy)… where the game was delayed 90 minutes for "lightning"… where Cody Thomas couldn't complete a forward pass… where the receiving corp was horrendous… where Keith Ford started the game…
Samaje Perine ran for an NCAA record 427 yards. 5 touchdowns. 12.6 yards a carry.
And he's only 18.
Perine's level of dominance was eclipsed only by the Sooners offensive line. After watching the Kansas linebackers and safeties explode through the Oklahoma line of scrimmage for a cool quarter or so, the O-line went straight medieval on that ass, hammering the second level of the Kansas defense, and allowing Perine to be part of history.
But let's not give the line all the credit. Keith Ford – and his two fumbles – averaged 4.2 yards a carry. Alex Ross averaged less than a yard per carry. Thomas could not complete a pass. Perine was amazing. He broke tackles. He broke off long runs. He broke the will of Kansas.The same Jayhawk team that nearly upset TCU last week. No, Kansas isn't going to be mistaken for the 1985 Bears (or 2000 Jenks), but 427 on the ground is amazing regardless who you play. Perine and his line were completely dominant and the record provides a level of solace for an otherwise craptastic season.
9) Oklahoma/Kansas
This marked the second time Oklahoma has rushed for 500+ yards this season, which makes you wonder how in the blue hell did that mongrel idiot in the press box called 30 plus passing plays in any game at any point this season. The Sooners called 13 pass plays to 55 run plays, an acceptable ratio when your quarterback has the accuracy of Rick Vaughn.
Thanks! Your message has been sent!
