What Spring Teaches Us
The beginning of spring is a time to think about renewal. In our quest for material abundance and comfort, this is a time to pause and put our quest in context.
Most prominently at this time of year, March madness is upon us. No, not the budget battles in Washington, although that constitutes insanity of a sort. In a rite of spring, the NCAA college basketball tournament extends from March 19 to April 8. For fans, it's a welcome break from the daily round.
March is a transitional month as the vernal equinox on March 20 heralds the change of seasons. The word equinox is derived from Latin words meaning "equal night." Daylight and darkness command equal time as the sun rises and sets due east and due west. In response to the increasing light and warmth, gardens explode with new growth as Mother Nature dons colorful finery.
Religious observances call for contemplation. Passover extends from March 25 to April 2 in this year 5773 on the Hebrew calendar, a celebration of the deliverance of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt.
Following 40 days of Lenten contemplations and the solemnity of Good Friday, on Easter Sunday, March 31 this year, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is celebrated.
Perhaps God created seasons to remind His human flock that change is constant. From day to day, weather conditions fluctuate, sometimes with fearsome storms that sweep away material things, forcing re-examination, rebuilding and re-direction. Yet in the changes of season, there are patterns we can count on.
The NCAA tournament is about winning and losing with grace and good sportsmanship. In all we do, in our daily activities, family matters, work projects and plans and investing, we have varying degrees of success and frustrations.
We learn that in many aspects of life, we have no control over people, places, or things. We only have control over our own reactions to challenge. Coaches and athletes learn that they do not control the other team's playbook. They only control how they play their game, and how they react to the opposition's moves. Keep that in mind as you ponder frustrations, no matter where they come from – Washington, Wall Street or Main Street.
The Old Testament chronicles the journeys of the Jewish people, witnessed in the story of Passover. It's about deliverance, a long journey to a better tomorrow. Good Friday is about material death overcome through resurrection and deliverance on the third day, reminding us that this life is but a brief journey on the way to eternal life in the spirit. Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism.
The balance of light and dark on the vernal equinox reminds us of the need for balance in life, yin versus yang, work-life balance, balancing the material with the spiritual. At a Lenten retreat, a Dominican priest urged that we "give up hope of a better past." Acceptance and moving ahead is at the heart of the Passover story and the Passion of Christ. The priest reminded us that "it's never been about the problems in my life ... it's about the solutions." Said he, "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift ... that's why it's called the present."
Money and material possessions are but tools that enable our journey. It's not about the possessions; it's about the journey. Riches and success are not evil. It's about what we do with our blessings. The religious observances of March, along with the change of seasons, remind us of the true meaning of life, a material interlude in an eternal spiritual journey. This is a time to pray for those who have lost their way, as well as a challenge to us, as Sherpas to help the burdened and the lost.
The lesson of Passover and Easter is that sometimes you have to be humbled in order to be exalted. On the last night of the Lenten mission, the priest offered an introspective philosophical point: "Humility is not thinking less of yourself. Humility is thinking of yourself less."
Have a beautiful spring.

Paula, Thanks for the interview of Keegan! We really enjoyed his skating at Liberty this year.
Here's his new SP to Robin Hood from this year's Liberty competition:
And here's his Hulk LP from last year's Liberty competition. This year he put in a 4T:
I really liked last year's Hulk costume, where he had the green Hulk arm breaking out of the plaid shirt.
Thanks! It was a joy to see Keegan at Liberty again! Hope he has a great season (and injury free).
He is definitely one to follow. Almost medaling at Jr worlds-it was a very narrow loss for bronze.
I have seen his skating several times before. He is a really amazing skater. I am always puzzled by his huge jumps with his small body. I love his triple axels. They are really solid. He is very fast and has really quick rotations in the air.
Correction: Keegan got 3rd in SP & 2nd FS at Liberty.
Keegan is FANTASTIC! I love watching him skate.
Read this article while in Fairbanks this weekend (saw GregPet skate for the first time since 2008! SO HAPPY) and got all giddy. It's about time he got recognized. With the fact that skating is not well sponsored/supported up here in Alaska and he doesn't get as much ice time as others in his group do it's amazing what he's accomplished!

'Sex superbug' may not be so super after all
Department of Health: No cases of H041 in California
A spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told KCRA 3 on Wednesday that reports of a "sex superbug" are misleading.
According to a story posted by the Associated Press on Wednesday, health officials were concerned with a strain of gonorrhea -- known as H041 -- believed to be resistant to any known antibiotic.
The report said the "sex superbug" had spread to Hawaii, and also surfaced in California and Norway.
The CDC and the California Health Department both confirmed Wednesday there haven't been any cases of H041 in California.
Nikki Mays, a spokeswoman for the CDC, said the H041 strain refers to a case detected in Japan in 2009, and is related to ceftriaxone resistance.
Ceftriaxone is the drug the CDC recommends for the first-line treatment of gonorrhea.
"This strain hasn't been detected elsewhere, and ceftriaxone resistance has not been detected in the United States," Mays said.

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (17:21): Obtained leave and introduced a bill for an act to provide for the protection of persons with a disability; and for other purposes. Read a first time.
The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (17:22): I move:
That this bill be now read a second time.
It gives me great pleasure to be reintroducing my Disability (Mandatory Reporting) Bill 2012. I will try to keep my comments brief as, in essence, the bill is pretty simple. It stands to protect some of our most vulnerable citizens which, to me, seems like a pretty simple concept. However, you will have to indulge me as I recap some of what I said in this chamber almost two years ago when I introduced in this bill in its first iteration.
As members will see, it seeks to protect people are unable or are likely to be unable to even recognise abuse or neglect toward them such as people with certain intellectual disabilities or people with physical disabilities such that they are unable or likely to be unable to report abuse and neglect. This may be because of a physical impairment which inhibits speech, for example.
I would like to elaborate on where the initial idea for this bill—or inspiration, if you like, for this bill—came from. In mid-2010 early in my time as a member of this chamber, I attended a Productivity Commission hearing which was inquiring into disability services. While there, I heard the story of a South Australian mother of a child with multiple and complex disabilities, now an adult child. She spoke as a parent of an adult child with an intellectual disability about her daughter's experience while living in institutional residences for people with disabilities.
This young woman had lived most of her life in such institutions and, whilst she was there, she suffered more abuse and more neglect than, frankly, her mother cared to know about. I believe the mother's exact words were, 'I'll never know exactly how much abuse my daughter suffered during her time in institutions and, frankly, I don't want to know.' I think this quote speaks for itself and speaks volumes.
Since the bill was first introduced I have discovered through consultation and feedback that a number of additions needed to be made to provide clarity and ensure adequate protection and effectiveness of the bill's intent. I also found that the current mandatory notification phone line used for notifying suspected abuse of under 18 year olds was so overloaded that it was preferable that, in the circumstances of this bill, prescribed persons instead contact the Public Advocates Office and that that office handle the report.
Why do we need this bill? First, while I am not suggesting for a minute that the moment we put people with disabilities into residential facilities or institutions they are going to be abused or neglected, we do need to recognise that people with both physical and intellectual disability are at much higher risk than the general population. In fact, research shows that people with intellectual disabilities in particular are at four to 10 times higher risk of being victimised than people without any form of disability.
If people are abused, it seems there is a lower incidence of reporting, so this bill seeks to address part of this issue by requiring those who do became aware of abuse simply to report it. Presently, it seems there is a culture of turning a blind eye to abuse against people with disabilities or denying that it is there, or perhaps indeed not recognising it for the abuse that it is, simply because it forms part of a person's daily care routine.
I would like to suggest that this occurs in mental health facilities and aged-care homes, and this bill ensures that people with disabilities have some protections when living in these places, too. Tragically you can see how perpetrators might target adults with physical or intellectual disabilities, mental health issues or communication impairments, or any combination thereof, given the limited likelihood that it will ever be reported, let alone investigated or prosecuted.
Another reason we need this bill is that we have no other suitable mechanisms for monitoring people with disabilities living in facilities or receiving services. In Victoria and Queensland at least they have enshrined in legislation through their disability acts some accountability measures in the form of a community visitors scheme and senior practitioner for people with disabilities. This provides for some protection and is proving to be successful in those places. We have no such allowances here, yet my Disability Services (Miscellaneous) Amendment Bill seeks to address this but is yet to pass through this chamber.
This bill seeks to protect not only those people but also those who have the courage under this bill, if it should become an act, to report abuse and neglect. Why should it be a punishable offence or something that is feared to report the abuse and neglect of some of our most vulnerable people, those most in need of our help at times like these? Why should people feel afraid or that they are to be punished for standing up for people who cannot, in many cases, stand up for themselves?
As I said, I am not suggesting for a moment that all people with disabilities are subject to this treatment (thank heavens for that), but we do need to recognise that there is a much higher risk of its happening to these people. Article 17 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities states that 'every person with a disability has the right to integrity, both physical and emotional, on an equal basis with all others'. The trouble with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is that it does not have any teeth, if you like. It is more a philosophical document and, whilst it says some wonderful things, until we have a complete overhaul of the entire disability services system, such as that which my disability services bill seeks to instate, it will not actually stand for very much at all.
I think that is a pretty sad fact because all people, with or without disability, should have integrity and should have the right to protection. It is also important to note that this bill does not stand to provide mandatory reporting to people whose disabilities would not prevent them from recognising or reporting their own abuse. I suppose, for one example, people like myself. So, it does not take away from the privacy or dignity or choice of those people, but it does, in fact, protect the dignity of the people who cannot report abuse and neglect for themselves. Of course, this is a delicate balance to strike, and I look forward to receiving further feedback from members and the community on how this might be achieved.
I am aware that there will be some implications, particularly financially, if this bill should become an act. But we do have a six-month lead-in, as you will see in the bill, to provide time for the training for all necessary people to become mandatory reporters for people with disabilities specifically, and we do have several service providers onside to help us implement that training. So, it is out there and it does make sense to utilise it.
As you are aware, we have similar provisions for mandatory reporting for children, under the Children's Protection Act, and for the elderly, under the Aged Care Act, federally. So, it seems to make no sense to me and my party, Dignity for Disability, that people with disabilities can be completely underlooked—overlooked—both overlooked and underlooked in this sense. In fact, everyone we have spoken to in regard to this bill has said, 'I can't believe that this isn't already in place,' and the only response we can provide is, 'Nor can we.'
As I said, it just seems to make sense that, if we are going to protect our children and the elderly on the understanding that they are some of our most vulnerable people, why should we not protect people with disabilities who are just as vulnerable, if not more so? I would like to explain why only some types of disability are covered by this bill presently. Some people with disabilities, such as physical disabilities, lead mainly an autonomous life. It would be patronising to suggest that all people with disabilities require this mechanism because they do not. It would be an invasion of their privacy and not acknowledging their ability to lead an independent life.
I think that any implications of this bill, particularly financial, coming into place would be far overridden by the emotional and physical cost of not having mandatory reporting in place for people with disabilities—not just for people with disabilities but also for their families. Members would have heard the story I told about the parent of the child who lived in institutions and who now lives with the pain and regret every day of knowing that, in her mind, it is to some extent her fault that these things happened to her daughter because she allowed her daughter to live in those institutions.
It is also with great disappointment and even greater sadness that I point out to members that, if this bill should become an act, South Australia would, in fact, be the only state with a specific disability mandatory reporting mechanism for people with disabilities in place. As I said, it seems such an obvious thing that, again, I and many others cannot believe this to be true but, unfortunately, it is. Detractors of my bill seem to suggest that this is an overly punitive and regulatory measure. However, we need something. We still have mandatory notification for children, after all.
On the positive side, however, as I do tend to be a bit of 'the glass is half full' type of person, I hope that, if this bill were to made into law, it would be only a matter of time until the rest of the states, I would hope, follow suit. All I can do is encourage members to consider this bill very seriously. I think we can agree that it seeks to do a lot in just six pages.
While I completely recognise that this is not a solution to solving the problem of abuse and neglect of people with disabilities, specifically in that it does not prevent people from being abused, any person with a disability who has ever felt vulnerable, or any parent or family carer of a person with a disability who has been involved in the consultation on this bill, such as the parent I talked about a little earlier, will tell you that this is a good start. This is one part of a very big puzzle. I hope that members will consider supporting this bill and making Article 17 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in particular a reality for all people in this state. I commend the bill to the council.
Debate adjourned on motion of Hon. J. M. Gazzola.

Whenever Ilya Beruashvili hears his dog bark, he knows the Russians are at the gate.
For the past five years, Beruashvili, 53, who lives on the outskirts of the Georgian village of Ditsi, has watched from his windows as Russian soldiers stationed in the neighboring separatist territory of South Ossetia have patrolled the fields he used to farm.
Orthodox Easter was celebrated on April 15 in Georgia. This year, Misha Tabatadze could not join in the traditional pilgrimage to visit the graves of loved ones. He could not light a candle in the cemetery where his daughter, Etuna, is buried, or place a brightly dyed red egg on her grave.
Since the Russo-Georgian war of August 2008 and the subsequent buildup of Russia's military presence in the breakaway Georgian territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, relations between Moscow and Tbilisi have remained mostly consistent .
Three years after their war, Russia and Georgia are still fighting over the separatist territory of South Ossetia. Russia's political supremo, Vladimir Putin, ignited the latest skirmish with a suggestion that South Ossetia may opt to join the Russian Federation.
The espionage charges brought recently against three photographers in Georgia are stirring a debate in Tbilisi: how spooky is the Russian bogeyman?
Some observers believe Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili's administration is suffering from a severe case of spy mania. Others, however, maintain the cases are all too real.
Faced with a growing outcry over the arrest of three prominent photographers on espionage charges, the Georgian government on July 13 took action to counter criticism that a desire to stifle a press freedom is a major motivation for the spy case.
Hollywood's treatment of the Russia-Georgia war in 2008 is about to hit movie theaters in the United States. The Georgian-funded action flick, titled Five Days of August, seems to blur the line between entertainment and propaganda.
The unexpected May 29 death of Sergei Bagapsh, the de facto leader of the breakaway region of Abkhazia, is certain to shake up Abkhaz politics, but some Abkhaz observers say that the underlying question is whether or not it will lead to instability in the territory.
In a jab at Moscow, Georgia on May 20 became the first country to recognize as genocide Tsarist Russia's massive slaughter of ethnic Circassians in the mid-19th century. The decision constitutes part of Tbilisi's ongoing argument that the Caucasus is a region where Russia comes as an outsider, not as a native with the right to rule.

Matt Madsen of Bleacher Report took a look at the Indianapolis Colts' first quarter of the season and graded each positional group, seeing Linebacker as a bright spot:
Newly assigned outside linebacker Robert Mathis is tied for seventh in the league with four sacks, even after the Colts early bye week. Kavell Conner, Jerry Hughes and Jerrell Freeman have all contributed a sack, as well.
As you can imagine, the other bright spot, according to Madsen, is the Quarterback position – some guy named Luck… Don't forget to click the link.

In 2012 took place in Las Vegas, in 2013 does anyone know where and when?
No official word yet. There are a couple of options that would place it in Las Vegas from October 21st to October 25th. That would be either if they integrated it into SAP TechEd (as they've done with the other former Sybase products) or if they run it as a separate event co-located with TechEd (as they did last year).
Personally, that's what I'm tentatively planning for. There is still a possibility that they would host a separate event and not co-located it with TechEd, perhaps regional events rather than one international event. I think that's only a remote possibility though.
Its listed as Oct 21-25, 2013 in LV.

Hello Bruce.
I was there in Las Vegas. I remember that slide, but. .....
we are now in March and there is nothing new.
I do not give trade date, not the beta else, nothing moves.
PB 12.5 is old and it's been 5 months ......
Sue Dunnell has said on more than one occasion that the beta would start "soon". Hopefully soon will come along soon.
Hi Roland;
I am led to believe that nothing can happen until SAP official accepts PB into its "price book". Its at that point that development and other activities can officially commence. Unfortunately, even if we see SAP accept PB into its price book this summer - I suspect that it will take some time to get what ever engineering, marketing, evangelist, etc resources realigned to move forward with PB.
Hence, my inkling is that there will be no PDC in 2013.
Regards ... Chris
Hi to all the world
I see that the registration to SAP TechED is open:
Las Vegas: October 21-25
Amsterdam: November 5-7
Bangalore: December 11-13
A little bird told me that this year we would not have Powerbuilder developer conference.
It 's true?
If so, why?
Well, my original response was in March. It's late June now, and still no word. Given that last year the call for papers was made in early June (and it was late to have that), I'm leaning towards there not being a PBDC at SAP TechEd this year. If they were going to do that, we should have heard something official by now.
Also given that the release dates for 15 that have been hinted at are in 2014, I would expect that you'd want the conference about the time of the release, so that you could officially show off what was in the new version rather than rehash slides from the last 2 years that don't promise any certain features at any certain time.
I don't know that any of the PBDC attendees got much out of it being co-hosted with SAP TechEd last year except perhaps the special event (which FWIW, I didn't attend). It would perhaps be better if it was done separately, tied to the release date of 15, and (at least IMHO) held someplace other than Las Vegas.
Any news on PB 15 features and release date?
It is July (3rd Quarter 2013)
Hi P;
All quiet from my perspective. I believe that until SAP gets PB instantiated in its "price book" - nothing can proceed development wise. AFAIK we have been waiting for this since Nov 2012.
Regards ... Chris
The community just needs to put on a PowerBuilder conference somewhere, and not rely on SAP for anything other than sponsorship.
Although I agree that we do not need to rely on SAP, but quite frankly what are we going to discuss?
Sure we could talk about coding methods and tips etc. but really that is all a bit academic when the product is being slowly killed off by SAP. The fact that it is not in the price list yet is fundamental and says a lot more than is being said anywhere else.
Just for discussion, what if SAP do not add PB to their price list and do not ship any new releases? How do we the community want to go forward from that position?
All valid points David, and I can't say I have an answer for any of them, unfortunately.
I suspect SAP's problem is a decision on whether it would pay off to try and move PB from Cash Cow to Rising Star (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCG_growth-share_matrix) . With Appeon Mobile as a platform, that may be possible. I'm not tuned in to SAP corporate culture well enough to offer a prediction, but I do know that as long as the cow is giving enough milk to pay for its feed, it's safe from the burger factory.
Hi G;
At this week's PBTV webinar that question came up. As far as the panel of presenters knew - there will be no PBDC this year.
PS: Also, it looks like PB 15 will be Q1 2014 at the earliest and its focus for will be mostly on PB Native (new name for PB Classic).
Regards ... Chris
While I like the new name for classic, I do not like that there is no PBDC, and am therefore torn between 'Liking' your comment, or having to mark it as 'Abuse'...
Hmmm ... so is "honesty" abuse then?

A man whom a jury found guilty of vehicular homicide was sentenced Friday to six months in jail.
Kevin T. Wertz, 22, of Bascom, who had been indicted on a third-degree felony charge of aggravated vehicular homicide, but was found guilty of the lesser, first-degree misdemeanor charge this week, was handed down the sentence Friday afternoon by Seneca County Common Pleas Court Judge Michael Kelbley.
Prior to the announcement of his sentence, Wertz apologized to the family of 20-year-old Jacob Hohman, who died as a result of the October 2012 crash on TR 71A.
"I understand saying sorry may seem worthless but at this time, it's all I can offer," Wertz said.
"I'm truly sorry for the pain and suffering," he also told the family.
Wertz was the driver of a pickup truck that rolled onto its top after he lost control and struck a ditch. Wertz had failed to yield for a stop sign prior to losing control. Alcohol and speed were factors in the crash, according to the State Highway Patrol.
Hohman, who was a passenger in the pickup truck, died the same day at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo.
Terrence Rudes, Wertz's attorney, told Kelbley that Wertz had been traumatized by the incident. Rudes also described Wertz to Kelbley as a responsible and consciousness young man.
Libra Martin, Seneca County Victim Assistance Director, read several letters from friends of Hohman Friday prior to the announcement of Wertz's sentence. Many described Hohman as quiet, funny, respectful and a good friend. Hohman's mother, Rebecca Hohman, also spoke. She asked Kelbley to impose a six-month jail sentence, which was the maximum.
"He was one of a kind," Rebecca said of Jacob. "He was very loved and admired by many."
"The defendant has taken away from me my beautiful boy," she also told Kelbley.
Kelbley also imposed a five-year license suspension and a $1,000 fine Friday.

WINDHOEK – Swapo Party Vice President Dr Hage Geingob says there is a need for the party to convene a consultative meeting to see how best to implement the 50/50 representation in the national general elections slated for November this year.
Geingob said this as he was responding to questions at a meeting in Windhoek where he addressed the party's Khomas regional leadership on Saturday morning. "I propose that we hold a consultative meeting before we make blunders and destroy the party. We are just shouting 50/50, but we did not think carefully on how we will implement it," he said. He said the resolution must be implemented without creating division in the party. According to Geingob implementing the 'Zebra-style list' would disadvantage male cadres of the party. "We cannot have a list of women and one of men and take one from each list until we get the required number. If we do that, you will have a situation where the lady topping the female list makes it while the man at position 10 on the male list does not make it even if he has more votes than the lady topping the female list. This will not work, the ones with the most votes must make the nod," Geingob said. "There is a misunderstanding with the 50/50 concept, because some women think they will just walk into positions. I can assure you that it is not the case, women must fight and sacrifice as much as the men," said the Prime Minister. He also expressed fears that using the zebra style system might annoy males in the party. "By doing so, you are pleasing the women and annoying the men. Therefore everyone, male or female, must be democratically elected, no one must be wheel-barrowed into positions," he said.
During its 5th Ordinary Congress held in 2012, the ruling party committed itself to the 50/50 representation of men and women in all the party structures.
Calls for death
penalty reactionary
With the country experiencing an upsurge of violence committed by men against women, there have been calls from the public, as well as some leaders across the political spectrum, urging government to reintroduce the death penalty. Geingob described call for the reintroduction of the death penalty as 'reactionary'. "You have been praising our constitution, saying it is doing well, but now you want the death penalty. It (death penalty) will not deter people from committing crimes, therefore let us look for other ways to punish offenders," said Geingob. He labelled men who commit violence against women as 'sick cowards', who are not worthy to be called men. "Our communities must isolate these crazy men," he said.

who else will support the 50/50
viva Prime minister and down with 50/50 representative.Every one must fight for his position,not wheelchaired. It has never happened in the whole world and it should not happen in our mighty swapo.
I wont't support 50/50 representative in parliament. I only support 25% of women and 75% of man. We have to think deep in detail before we decide and impliment ideas. As a country we have to prevent and avoid more mistakes like we did when it comes to gender equality. IT IS TOO MUCH AND WOMEN ABUSE IT TOO MUCH. We really don't dont want to sell and export this country. The head of the home the is always a men, never heard a women. Power to the men please.
I do not support 50/50 in the parliament representative,Lets give 15% to the women and 85% because women they will missleading as like we know them already.Egumbo ohali kala ashike lina omutse gumwe ndee omutse ngono owomulumentu ashike inatutuleni iinima mumwe kaya.let us not kill traditional please.

Head movement man, your standing straight up... that step is giving away your jab, try getting in range before throwing cause your reaching alot. The guy didn't dominate you but he can see your punches coming, he's catching you everytime you reach in...no doubt this is a type of fight you can learn alot off...good luck man...

be more light on your feet and move your head more. you need to develop a better jab and incorporate feints with head movement. footwork seems to be a little lackadaisical as well. get on those toes and build that explosive speed / power, in hand and foot!

Every piece of advice that has been supplied is going to take more oxygen and place more strain on your body and mind.
Surely, you've been through several sparring sessions so getting hit/ countered should no longer be an issue.
I'm also going to assume that you put in enough work on the heavy bag and, hopefully, the mitts that your coach would allow you to participate in a match so throwing punches and combinations should also be finding its way into your skill set.
The next thing, I would say, is believing that you can put all of that together. I find that when I don't FEEL like I'm properly conditioned that I have a habit of holding back and not fighting the fight that I'm sure I can.

It seemed like you got really discouraged when he started throwing back with those wid shots. You let him off the hook a couple times... like at 5:40 you had him in the corner and were landing decently on him then he let off one big hook and you reset in the middle. And a bunch of times he threw a wide punch and you didnt come back with anything even though he was way off balance.
It looked good though the confidence will come with more fights, just keep at it and you will keep improving, good luck man.
Btw the other guys trainer with making me lol with him freaking out
edit: also if you held your hand up to catch his jab it couldve save a lot of trouble

The guy you were fighting was more or less one handed, just winging that right hand. You fed into that by doing three things. First, staying right in front of him. Second, pawing with your jab. Third, putting your hands up and waiting on the punch. If all he's got is that right hand, circle to your right, make him punch across his body. A lot of times his right hand was real wide, while other times he telegraphed it by picking his right elbow up and 'aiming' the punch. these are things- making him punch across himself and picking up on when he's going to punch- that enable you to land counters.
You, also, telegraph the right hand by picking up the elbow before you throw it and you are real slow at getting your punches off. Just shoot them. There were times when it seemed like your opponent was winded and didn't want to fight, was maybe trying to catch his breath. In those instances, first you weren't able to walk him down behind a jab. Second, when you did get close and start throwing punches, you'd square up and drop your hands and he'd sting you, once with a left. Generally, he'd wing the right and you'd back off.
Get sharper with your punches and work on your defense. No reason to be eating right hands like that.

Environmental Regulation, Top Story
Court Won't Rehear EPA on Air RuleBy Steven Johnson | ECT Staff Writer Published: January 28th, 2013
A federal appeals court will not reopen a decision that struck down the Environmental Protection Agency's sweeping Cross-State Air Pollution Rule.
In a two-sentence order released Jan. 24, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia denied EPA's request for reconsideration by the full court.
A three-judge panel of the circuit court had vacated the rule last August, saying EPA overstepped its authority under the Clean Air Act.
The rule would have had a huge impact on power plants by setting new limits on sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in 27 states, mostly east of the Mississippi River. EPA estimated compliance costs at $800 million in 2014.
NRECA and several electric cooperatives filed lawsuits against the rule, contesting its legality and noting that it treated different parts of the country in an arbitrary and unfair manner.
"We're pleased that the court denied EPA's request for reconsideration," said Rae E. Cronmiller, NRECA environmental counsel. "The rule as written was fundamentally flawed and based on assumptions that simply did not correspond to real-world situations."
In rejecting the rule, the court held 2-1 last August that EPA was forcing upwind states to make more than their required share of reductions in power plant emissions that contribute to ozone formation. Those emissions can impair the ability of downwind states to meet air quality standards.
EPA also used questionable calculations to develop an allocation of tradable emissions allowances that accompanied the new emissions limits. The system would have shortchanged some G&Ts of their proper amount of allowances, NRECA added.
In a statement, EPA said it was disappointed that the court did not grant a petition for rehearing, and is considering additional options. The agency can appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Fontana Dell'Acqua Paola
The monumental fountain formally known as the Fontana dell'Acqua Paola is referred by more casually by locals as the fontanone, "the big fountain." Located on the Janiculum Hill, the fancy watering hole boasts a baroque background of marble finery. It is fronted by six columns - two in grey granite and four in red granite, and five arches. All the materials used for construction were scavenged from ancient ruins, as was the custom of the time. Commissioned by Pope Paul V Borghese, it was part of a public works project to repair the ancient Traiano Aqueduct that was built in 107 BC. It once traversed 47 kilometers from Lake Bracciano to bring water to Trastevere and Pope Paul V renewed its course and its glory, marking it with this monument, that resembles an ancient Roman triumphal arch.
The commission was given to the aptly-named architect, Carlo Fontana. The facade is decorated with angels and dragons. Water overflows from three bowls into a wide semi-circular basin below. The perimeter was later balustraded off to keep horses from being watered there.
The Fontana dell'Acqua Paola sits on a high point on the Janiculum Hill and offers splendid vistas of the city and its domes. It's considered one of the most romantic spots in Rome.

Cinefinances offers breakdowns of pic production coin
Thanks to its government-backed film-funding system, France's movie industry now reads like an open book on Cinefinances.info, a website that breaks down the funding model of every French film, including Gallic co-productions.
Launched by Serge Siritzky, managing editor of French trade mag Ecran Total, the website currently lists more than 150 projects.
"Investments in France are regulated and contracts are filed to the national film and TV public registry," says Siritzky. "So we're buying the listings and we're analyzing them. We complete the information we get from investors themselves."
One of the goals, explains Siritzky, is to help film professionals identify the key players of the French film biz and raise the financing for their projects.
For a monthly fee of ?1,794 ($2,450), members can learn how much producers invested, to what extent French TV and cable channels pre-bought the film and check out the international sales revenues and minimum garantees, if any.
The website also lists revenues for each investor, funding from regional sources as well as salaries of directors and producers.

VODACOM is targeting 25-million data customers by 2014, the company said in its annual report released yesterday.
It added 5-million active data customers in the year to March, taking the total subscribers to 15-million and "lending credence to our target of 25-million", CEO Pieter Uys said.
According to Vodacom, mobile data is set to play a vital role in lifting economic growth, creating jobs and improving the quality of life in underdeveloped countries.
"Mobile data use in sub-Saharan Africa is tiny compared to other regions, so this is a huge opportunity for us and we are driving adoption of mobile data services in all our countries," said Mr Uys.
Of the 15-million data subscribers, 12,2-million are in SA, while the rest are in Mozambique, Lesotho, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Vodacom spent R8,7bn on voice and data networks in the year to March, and will invest more money this year. Its data revenue increased 27,1% to R8,1bn for the year. Lower data prices stimulated higher usage, Vodacom said.
Smartphones are steadily becoming the primary device for internet connectivity in Africa.
"As the cost of smartphones continues to come down and as the popularity of other data-hungry devices like tablets continues to grow, I don't think it's exaggerating to say that we really are only at the beginning of something big. And the really nice thing about this coming connectivity boom is the virtuous circle that comes from internet penetration driving economic growth, economic growth driving employment, and employment driving further growth in data usage," said Mr Uys.
He said this year the company would focus more on "unlocking the power of the internet".
"This is crucial for economic development and job creation, but it also means that we're developing a whole new generation of data-using customers."

Dear Heloise: My family asked me to make pumpkin bread, and I remember using your recipe. Problem is, I can't find it. Would you please reprint it? I promise I'll put it in a safe place. - Karen, Fair Oaks Ranch
I'd be happy to. You'll need:
12/3 cups flour
11/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup salad oil
1 cup canned pumpkin
Sift together dry ingredients. Add the nuts and mix well. Set aside. Combine the remaining ingredients and add to the dry ingredients.
Mix until blended. Pour into a 9-by-5-by-3-inch greased and floured loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 60-75 minutes.
Your family also might enjoy my carrot-cake recipe. That and cost-saving hints to clean around the house can be found in my Heloise's Baking Soda Hints and Recipes pamphlet. To order, send $4 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (58 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Dear Readers: What is star fruit? It's a delicious, five-pointed, star-shaped fruit that can be golden yellow to greenish yellow in color and tastes like a combination of plum, pineapple and lemon all together! Plus, it's just plain pretty as a star! - Heloise
Dear Heloise: I read the hint in The (Carlisle, Pa.) Sentinel regarding the lady who held back two portions of each meal she made to give to a young widower with two young children. I'd like to take it a step further.
There are many single parents today who work multiple jobs just to pay the bills, and this hint could help them, not just the young widower.
So please remember that single parents would be extremely grateful for such a caring gesture. - A Reader, via e-mail
Dear Heloise: I have a recipe that uses processed cheese. I usually cut it piece by piece into smaller pieces for faster melting.
It just recently occurred to me to use an apple corer to make quick work of that task. Just set the cheese on the narrow end.
Push the apple corer all the way through. Quick and easy! - Sally in Fort Wayne, Ind.

text: First of all I hope this is the right place to ask this question. I've noticed a lot of street rods on TV that don't have any pollution stuff on them, even in California. I live in N.C. and am building a complete car and don't want to put all of that stuff on my engine. Now the Question , How do I get by without it? Is there special provisions for street rods or what?

The Houston Texans were salivating for a rematch with the New England Patriots as they sat in the visitor's locker room, licking their wounds following a 42-14 loss Dec. 10.
If that moment ever came, they swore things would be different.
"They came out and hit us with everything they had, and that's what you do if you're going to be a championship team – you don't leave anything like that," Houston safety Danieal Manning said. "We've seen their whole hand. We didn't play our best ball, and they did. So I think that definitely the (rematch) will be different."
By beating the Cincinnati Bengals 19-13 in the first round of the NFL playoffs Saturday, the Texans ensured they would get their chance to return to Gillette Stadium and try to knock off the Patriots Sunday at 4:30 p.m.
Whether or not New England showed its entire hand remains to be seen (Rob Gronkowski was sidelined in that contest). However, it seems unlikely things will be as easy for the Patriots the second time around.
With that in mind, here is a look back at few key points from the Week 14 meeting:
The overall impact of erasing Foster should not be minimized. He started by taking off for a 12-yard gain (a play erased by an illegal-formation penalty) and bolted for 15 on the next play. If the Patriots fail to build an early lead this time, Foster could cause some problems with an increased workload.
Three names you need to know:
Foster: Touched on previously, he is the heart of Houston's offense. He uses his vision to find the holes created by zone-blocking schemes, and has enough power and speed to make teams pay. Foster finished the year with 17 runs of 15 or more yards, one more than New England's Stevan Ridley, en route to rushing for 1,424 yards and 15 touchdowns.
WR Andre Johnson: Johnson got off to a slow start but gained 1,154 of his 1,598 yards from Week 9 on, including 95 against the Patriots. Cornerback Aqib Talib, who is battling a hip injury, will likely spend a good amount of time paired up against Johnson.
CB Johnathan Joseph: With Watt already covered, Joseph deserves highlighting as the standout member of the secondary. One of the better corners in the league, Joseph was battling a hamstring injury the last meeting and was matched up against Brandon Lloyd for many of the nine catches Lloyd made for 89 yards. He's healthy now, so it should be more of a fair fight in the rematch.

Prices also nudged upward.
The region sold 630 homes last month, according to a report released Wednesday by the Lehigh Valley Association of Realtors. That's a 34.3 percent increase from August 2011, which recorded 469 sales.
"With each passing month, LVAR's research shows that our local housing market projects continued growth," LVAR CEO Ryan Conrad CEO said in a statement. "Our members are reporting that renters have become more financially savvy and are taking advantage of low interest rates to purchase a home and build equity."
Mortgage rates have been at historic lows for years but only recently have sales consistently gained. The August increase marked 14 straight months where sales exceeded prior-year levels.
It was also the highest monthly clip since June 2010, when 670 sales were recorded. Sales in spring 2010 benefited from a federal tax credit for homebuyers, a temporary program intended to spruce sales that has since expired.
Despite the improvement, home sales remain well below pre-crash levels.
The Lehigh Valley housing market, like the nation, plunged in the late 2000s after years of booming growth. The summer months of the mid-2000s frequently surpassed 800 sales, an era when credit was easier and the job market stronger.
Persistently high unemployment is now widely blamed for weakening consumer confidence. The Lehigh Valley jobless rate last measured at 8.8 percent, almost double pre-recession levels.
The Federal Reserve has attempted to revive lending in the sluggish economy through low historically low interest rates.
The average 30-year mortgage listed at 3.54 percent Wednesday, according to bankrate.com. The average 15-year mortgage, a popular refinance option, was 2.91 percent.
Also in the LVAR report:
- The average sales price rose 4.1 percent last month to $203,000, up from $195,000 in August 2011.
- The median sales price — or midpoint — rose 2.9 percent to $175,000 from the year-ago clip.
- Pending sales, a future indicator, also rose. The region reported 607 pending sales in August, up 38.9 percent from 437 in the year-ago period. Pending sales are signed deals yet to close.
- Homes are selling quicker. The average home sold after 73 days in the market in August, down from 74 days in July and 90 days in August 2011.

Carbon Prices and the Adoption of Methane Digesters on Dairy and Hog Farms
Stay Connected
Economic Brief No. (EB-16) 6 pp, February 2011
Biogas recovery systems collect methane from manure and burn it to generate electricity or heat. Burning methane reduces its global warming potential, thereby reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Climate change mitigation policies that effectively put a price on GHG emissions could allow livestock producers to "sell" these reductions to other greenhouse gas emitters who face emissions caps or who voluntarily wish to offset their own emissions. Depending on the direction and scope of future climate change legislation, income from carbon off set sales could make methane digesters profitable for many livestock producers. By modeling the main determinants of producers' decisions to adopt biogas recovery systems, we illustrate how the price of carbon influences this decision and the potential supply of carbon offsets from the livestock sector.
Keywords: Methane, methane digesters, manure, livestock, climate change, greenhouse gases, carbon offset, agricultural economics

Market cycles can be erratic and impossible to foresee. A market peak or valley may not be obvious until months after it happens, so it's important to understand market cycles and how they can affect your portfolio performance.
No investment is immune
Every asset class – stocks, bonds, cash equivalents and real estate – can be affected by cyclical patterns. However, different types of investments tend to move in opposite directions as a result of changes in the market. History shows that when stocks increase in value, bond prices typically decline – and vice versa.
Economy and politics drive cycles
Market ups and downs are often affected by economic and political conditions.
- Stock and real estate markets typically do well in a growing economy. Cuts in taxes and interest rates, high employment, political stability and increased corporate profits also can mean rising stock values.
- Bond markets historically do well during times of political uncertainty. Moderate inflation, international conflicts, a volatile stock market and tight money supply often are a boon to bond markets.
3 ways the markets can react
- A correction – A sudden drop of 10% in the major market indexes. After a correction, stock prices tend to more realistically reflect a company's growth and earnings potential.
- A crash – A market keeps dropping, maybe 20% or more, in a short period accompanied by widespread selling.
- A bubble – Overly optimistic investors drive stock prices to unsustainable levels. Although it may take a while, post-bubble stock prices often deflate, giving investors the opportunity to buy at bargain prices.
Another kind of cycle – cyclical stocks
Investments in certain economic sectors typically experience predictable ups and downs because their performance is closely tied to what's happening in the economy.
So-called cyclical stocks do well in a strong economy, but may suffer during an economic downturn. Examples include airlines, housing and automobile manufacturing. Conversely, stocks in pharmaceuticals and utilities are more apt to weather an economic downturn because their products and services generally aren't tied to the economy.

PITTSBURGH - Andy LaRoche looked like he could barely stand up Monday night.
Yet, the Pirates third baseman was back in the lineup for the finale of a four-game series against the San Diego Padres at PNC Park. He had missed the previous three games because of the flu.
"The trainers told me I couldn't get any worse, so I'm playing," LaRoche said. "I don't feel the best but I'm sick of sitting out. If I'm not putting myself at risk and I'm not risking any of my teammates getting sick then I see no reason not to play."
The flu has become a problem in the Pirates' clubhouse in recent days.
Backup catcher Jason Jaramillo also has been unable to be play since the homestand started Friday. First baseman Steve Pearce and left fielder Lastings Milledge also have been sick, though they have been able to play.
Pearce said he would have normally sat out the games Saturday and Sunday against San Diego but felt compelled to play because first baseman/outfielder Garrett Jones was sidelined by a strained right shoulder and second baseman Delwyn Young was unable to play because of lower back spasms.
"It's a case of where I had to play through it," Pearce said. "I was so sick [Sunday] that I was having a hard time even seeing the ball. It was tough but you do what you have to do to get through it."
Pearce said he was feeling much better. Milledge, too, said he was improving despite still having congestion.
"Part of being a professional baseball player is being ready to play every day," Milledge said. "We've had a lot of guys sick or hurt but I was fortunate enough that I was still able to at least get out there and play."
The Pirates medical staff does not believe the strain of flu is the swine flu. However, LaRoche did visit with an acquaintance in Houston during the Pirates' last road trip who had contracted the swine flu while on vacation in Mexico earlier in the summer.
Injury update
Young was back in the starting lineup for the first time since Sept. 11, a bit of a surprise since there were indications over the weekend that his back problem might cause him to be limited to pinch-hitting duty for the remainder of the season.
"Delwyn felt it had loosened up to the point where he could bend down for ground balls again," Russell said. "We'll keep watching him, though."
Jones was able to play again after feeling no significant pain while taking batting practice in the indoor cages before the game. He admitted he is not 100 percent but said: "I'm good enough to play."
Reliever Joel Hanrahan played catch before the game and said he felt no pain in his elbow. He has not pitched since last Tuesday because of pain in the elbow but is hopeful of being available for game action in the next few days.
First-pitch plans
Yukio Hatoyama, the newly elected prime minister of Japan, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Friday night's games against the Los Angeles Dodgers at PNC Park. He is the first prime minister elected from the Democratic Party after winning the general election last month.
Hatoyama will be attending the G-20 Summit of world leaders that will be held in Pittsburgh on Thursday and Friday.

Hi SAP Experts ,
I have a query and looking forward for your expert advice
My client has increase in pay from april itself but this was not implemented yet.
Now they wish to increase the Basic pay from June onwards and compensated amount of previous months to be accounted in JUNE itself.
Here mu query is that in May , outstanding amount is 35 in may and april according new pay scale.
As, these amount should be paid in JUNE only so shall I go for additional payment ( IT0015)
Can I maintain WT of salary adjustment in June for the amounts of May and April.
Kindly advice.
I also want to include that I tried this and retro occured and I got to know thet Retro pensiona claculation has also occured.(other thread for this is also there)
PLease advice me how I need to go..
Waiting for positive revert.
Thanks in advance
as you have done salary adjustment it would trigger outstanding amount as difference which would be trigger retro and call each time payroll run as /551 and /552 unless it is paid (posted). hope i met ur requirement.
Thanks Vishal...
Sorry but somehow I am not getting you..
My issue is why custom wage type retro pension came in picture? Its showing in RT table and hence it is affecting total payment.
I want to know the concept of retro pension here.. In PE51, cumulation Id WT for retro pension is mentioned n hence RT is triggereing Retro pension.
Also My major question was : Is it right to maintain 0015 infotype for back payment??
PLease advise.
Hi Vishal !
I would like to again to ask one thing , although April and May payroll ahs been posted also, now if retro is occuring new payslip is generated for April and May ..
I have doubt that how June payslip will include back payment of may and june...
Kindly clarify my doubt.
Thanks alot in advance.
Im unsure of uk payroll but yes if changes have been made to the April and may for which payroll already been posted, if the retro is is still there for April and may then it would call differences in above mentioned (/551, /552) wage types and that wage types have to be posted as well .
Yes Vishal,
I got you now.
Here issue is that my client does not want to do posting for previous month.
So can we maintain the salary adjustment in June month only and hence in payslip, cumulative amount can seen, thats what client wants.
I tried this too but dont know why Pension (custom wage type) is popped up in RT table
Please guide
i would say IT0015 would be better option to pay the previous balance, but don't know why pension is picked up, could u check in log where it is been called followed by wagetype for balance configuration. hope this would solve your issue
Thanks alot Vishal !
Actually this Pension WT is only being seen in RT log ..
I could see in PE51, Cumulation ID , this WT is maintained..
I am just not getting why this is coming in picture only for JUNE..
Is it because basic pay has increased...???
I could check cumulation class of this WT, 1,5,11,21 is maintained and processing class 1, 20, 30 ..... Can it be the reason,,,
This WT is nowhere maintained in master data as well
Please guide again.
I tried PA40 and run the action type contract change and reson change in pay..
Maintained date 01.04.2012 and hence retro occured till June...
In this case I dnt need to maintain 0015 and payroll log is not calling that retro Pension WT as well.
But If I am going for 0015 infotype and trying to maintain back pay salary adjustment the retro pension WT is getting popped up..
Somehow I am not able to meet teh requirement
Please help me with some guidelines......
Sorry, retro pension WT is still geting calculated in RT table in both the case,,,,,
I dont know it is correct or what,,
But as per client's requirement, that amount should not be thr..
Hi Priya,
How are you.. If you are maintaining in infotype 0015 then we mention the date of current month to pay the amount. If we do so why the system is going for retro. Are you maintaining the 0015 from April date.
In standard retro amount will be posted in the current month only. Dont pay them through infotype 0015. When you change the pay from back dated system picks the change in old net pay and current net pay and bring forward that amount in the month of June.
One more thing ask the client how they calculate the pension amount...it is calculated on what components....what ever the amount is triggered to u in pension wage type in RT table you can analyse based on that. Why because in Indian payroll we have PF dependent on Basic pay so when retro is run we get CF PF monthly which is automatically calculated by the system.
All the best dear...
HI Akula,
Thanks for help.
I tried all the options.
I really dont why system is calculating pension retro even though I mentioned cuurenr month date in 0015.
below things I tried
* Frstly I tried change of pay from april(back date) and then ran payroll., retro occured and i could see in CRT table of Current month and hence calculation in payslip was not as per the requirement.
*Secondly I tried maintaining change in pay in June and maintained 0015 with back date of april n may. Retro occured and RT table I could see the retro pension WT.
*Thirdly I tried Maintaining change in pay in June and salry adjusmnet in 0015 with June date only & ran payroll , again retro with retro pension WT(custom wage type)
****I could see Pe51, cumulation id, In payments and deduction, both the table, this WT( custom) retro pension is maintained.
****>ZRR PCR is calling this WT in RT table..
This much I could anaysed ...
Hope to get some guidelines.....
Dear Priya
If an employee has retro's going back a few months then WTs /551 & /552 are hold the difference
If you are using IT0015 with current payroll date the retro will not triggered
Pl. check the master data has changed from April or may
Without modification system will not triggered the retro
Check the LOG
Hope your client requirement is fullfill
Thanks & Regards
Nadir Sheikh
Thanks Nadir,
Yes /552 holda the difference and I could see the differece in RT table..
But how client's requirement is fullfill by this ?
Kindly let me know..
As you are running the payroll for the month of April in the month of June you can find the /551 amount(Difference between the old net pay and the current increased net pay) in the APRIL month and the MAY month under the Retro schema INNR.
Then in the month of June you can find the same amount been transferred to /552 and gets added to /560 net pay in the current month JUNE.
Dear Priya
Do not modify the master data wef April & May & difference amount put in IT0015 then system will not triggered retro
you can give one time payment in IT0015 in the month of June & change the master data as per client requirement wef. July onwards
Pl. check with client that difference amount which is paid through IT0015 it NIable & pensionable etc
Thanks & Regards
Nadir Sheikh

WASHINGTON - A task force of union and foundation leaders is pushing a comprehensive plan for creating new well-paying middle-class jobs - even as a separate report reveals what most workers already know: Those jobs that have been created since 2001, in recession or in recovery, pay little.
"Industries that once were great contributors to our country - auto, shipbuilding, machine tools and even electronics - are shadows of what they once were," declares the Task Force on Job Creation, in its report, released in late July. Steelworkers President Leo Gerard and Leo Hindery of the New American Foundation co-chaired the task force.
Their report comes just as the National Employment Law Project released its own study, July 26, showing that what little job growth has occurred since the official end of the Great Recession in mid-2009 has been in low-wage jobs. And before that, 60 percent of the job losses were in mid-wage jobs, NELP said.
Four million middle-income jobs disappeared during the two years of the crash. Over a million higher wage jobs and 1.25 million lower waged jobs disappeared during the same period, according to government figures.
"In the weak recovery to date, employment growth has been concentrated in lower-wage occupations, with minimal growth in mid-wage occupations and net losses in higher-wage occupations. From the first quarter of 2010 through the first quarter of 2011, lower-wage occupations grew by 3.2 percent, with retail salespersons, office clerks, cashiers, food preparation workers and stock clerks topping the list. Mid-wage occupations grew by only 1.2 percent and higher-wage occupations declined by 1.2 percent," NELP said.
The labor-foundation task force presented 15 recommendations. Among them: Creating a National Infrastructure Bank to use federal loans and loan guarantees to leverage private capital for nationally valuable construction. The task force also wants to link a 10 percent investment tax credit - which firms now get for investing in equipment - directly to "rehabilitation and renovation of existing manufacturing facilities," which "could pump billions of dollars into the modernization of America's plants."
And it advocated government cash grants for renewable energy production.
The task force also said Congress should enact temporary tariffs to help cut the annual $600 billion-plus annual U.S. trade deficit. It urged establishment of a special U.S. Justice Department office to enforce trade laws against nations that illegally subsidize their goods, and it later singled out China. It also wants the government to initiate its own trade cases against foreign subsidizers, rather than waiting for hurt industries - or unions - to marshal the evidence and make the case.
And it criticized the U.S. Trade Representative, now responsible for trade policy, as being more interested in negotiating trade treaties than in enforcing them.
Task force members also called for stronger buy-U.S. standards.
"No single measure would do more to help resuscitate U.S. employment, particularly in manufacturing, than a buy-domestic government procurement requirement that is consistent with our international trade obligations," their report says. It also advocates safeguarding national security-essential manufacturing, a longtime Machinists cause.
And the task force demanded Congress "eliminate the tax incentives that encourage American companies to invest overseas rather than here at home." Instead the government should "provide financial and legal inducements for corporations to provide good jobs for Americans." And government programs should be required to produce "employment impact statements" about job creation, just like other projects now require environmental impact statements.
One of the task force's long-tern recommendations harkens back to FDR's New Deal.
"As the U.S. economy strengthens and the deficit shrinks, the government should consider a 21st century version of Franklin Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration.
"Roosevelt put millions of Americans back to work in 1935 by creating jobs that improved living conditions and generated new wealth. Today's unemployed can be put to work renovating factories and installing new equipment, devising new financing, marketing and sales packages for local business, and reinventing the way we deliver skills. Providing counties and communities with the federal dollars to hire the unemployed will improve our global competitiveness and jump-start depressed local economies," it said.
In its report, NELP agreed with the labor-foundation task force that high-paying jobs are disappearing.
"While it is too early to predict whether these trends will continue, the dominant growth in lower-wage occupations suggests there is a good jobs deficit that has hollowed out many of the decent work opportunities people are looking for," said NELP report author Annette Bernhardt, the group's policy co-director.
Other union leaders on the jobs task force included Machinists President Tom Buffenbarger and former SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Chair Anna Burger.
