$150 bonds cover just one animal in cruelty case
May 16, 2014
LISBON — A Darner Road couple accused of 12 counts each of cruelty to animals were required to post $150 bonds each to help care for one of the animals they are accused of abusing....
Just a stupid Judge! 150 each for inhumane treatment? And out on bond wanting animals back? Were is the justice. They should remain in jail till them animals are nursed back, no matter how long it takes. And they should have to pay all the bills including wages and costs of the rescue. And then judge and extend the time to suit the crime! And last but not least they should get 20 years in jail for ever owning a animal again!
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
These two scumbags MUST NEVER be allowed to even look at another animal of ANY type!

She is an interested, caring doctor. Great!
I have never had a surgery before I am 22 years old, almost 23, and born autistic, aspergers. I am filling out this review because Dr Childs is probably the most awesome surgeon I have ever met. She has taken the time to be professional, answer all my questions and calls, and care to listen to everything I had to say. If i could trust my life into anyone in the medical field, it would be her, I know she would take good care of me; Surgery was simple, she told me it wouldn't be this grueling painful experience, she was spot on, I couldn't agree more. She knew every answer to every question I asked and made me feel very at ease. I appreciate talking to her because she made my life so much better just from the surgery she did. If i ever have any problems again, I will go to her immediately. Thanks so much Dr Childs, you made life that much easier!Sincerely, a very impressed and appreciative patient!
Great doctor!!!!!
Dr. Childs was very caring , easy to talk to, and very direct in getting to my overall goal...Removing my tumor.The surgery went just as expected. She is an artist!!! I was so apprehensive about my breast looking deformed. She performed an excellent job!!! The lumpectomy she did on my breast looks better than the other breast!!! I recommend her highly. Her follow- up was excellent as well.
She rushed in late for the appointment, then hurt me during the exam. She appeared to be in a bad mood. Poor bedside manner.
i am very sorry that your experience was unsatisfactory. the nature of what i do is often unpleasant for the patient and i try to make it as comfortable as i can.
This lady knows her stuff people. She is board certified and quite knowledgeable in all that matters in the subject of rectal issues. She is straight to the point. Won't waste your time.
I interviewed three surgeons for a colon resection surgery. Dr. Childs was one of them. I liked her personality very much and she truly seemed like she would do an incredible job. I was wholly disappointed. My scar was atrocious. It was supposed to be a laparoscopic surgery but the incision was crooked, much longer then promised in length and instead of going in thru my naval she put the scope above my navel and I now have an actual hole that I will have to live with unless I have surgery to fill it in. I was supposed to recover within 2 to 4 weeks - it has been over 2 months and I am still not adjusted and feel worse then when I went in.
She is an excellent physician. She was most understanding of my situation,. I had excellent results

Motion is a great tool to design in, but where it's most fun is when you get things moving. In order to properly get things going, you should have a healthy understanding of just how to control timing with the Timing pane. So if you don't already have it opened, press F6 to open the Timing pane. In here, you'll see I have a Circles layer that actually has the word STRETCH, as well as 3 circles, and I also have a Background_Video layer which contains our Railing video.
So let me just deselect everything and press the spacebar to begin playback. As you can see, I've got this kind of cool, funky, rack-focus-thing going on here. What we want to do is focus on a certain section of this video, maybe right around two seconds here, and I want these three circles to pop on and then have the word STRETCH pop on. So in order to trim a layer within the Timing pane, you want to have that layer selected and then press I to trim the in point for that layer.
Now since I want these to go in sequence, what I want to do is actually work backwards. So I'll select my playhead, move it back in the Timeline just a few frames here. And I can also trim a layer just by clicking on the left-hand side, and notice it'll snap, and I get this nice in and out point contextual menu telling me exactly what's going on. If I want to move my playhead back without clicking on it, I can click right here in the Timing window. Now, if you double-click and then type -10, notice the playhead moves backwards in the Timeline 10 frames.
Now, I'll make sure I have Circle 3 selected, and I can press I to trim that in point. If I press Home to move my playhead to the beginning, I can go ahead and press play and see what's going on here. One, two, three, okay, perfect! So I have my three circles actually appearing, and now I want my type to appear. So to move the type down, all we have to do is click on the word STRETCH and press I. Now what this did is actually trim the in point. To show you the difference between trimming and sliding, let's go ahead and make an adjustment to our Background_Video layer.
Select the Railing_Rack layer, and let's just move our playhead back here to around one second. Now, notice this section of the video right here near my anchor point is rather sharp. If I go ahead and press I, I've trimmed the in point of my layer. Notice it's still sharp. So let me just Command+Z to undo that. To slide a layer, what you want to do is hold down Shift and then hit the left bracket key, which is just to the right of the letter P. Now, notice this area is nice and blurry, because that's my original first frame for this video layer.
So I slid the layer down instead of actually trimming the in point. So now if I press the spacebar from this point, I have my circles and then my type appear. So now that you know how to trim and slide the in points of layers, let's talk about the out point. It's pretty straightforward. If I want to change the out point for any layer, just go ahead and select that layer and instead of pressing I for in, you want to press O for out.
You can do this in real time in addition to actually just doing it with the playhead stopped. So here I am going to play back and then press O. So as you can see, I trim the out point for the circle. Now, to slide, instead of the left bracket, you want to hold down Shift and do the right bracket. So I think you get the idea between trimming and sliding. So last thing, I just want to show you some little things about the interface in the Timeline as you are viewing your media. Notice anytime I select any of these layers, the Mini Timeline changes up here.
That's just showing me the layer that I have selected, and the timing for that individual layer. I can also select the group for an overall layer, and the group can have a different time from the sublayer. So let's say I move this Video layer back, notice the top layer moves with it. I know I said it can have a different time, but that's really only when you have more than one object within the layer. So for example, if I move up to my circles, that's really only if you have more than one object within the group.
So if I move up to my Circles group here, I can slide it back to the left, and now you notice I can move the start point of the different layers, but notice the in and out point is actually going to slide according to the one that's furthest to the left or furthest to the right. So, sliding and trimming groups is slightly different than sliding and trimming individual objects within the layers within a group. Now since I've gone ahead and changed absolutely everything and it's all sort of messed up again, what I am going to do is actually focus on that one section of the video and re-time everything again.
So you can actually set the playback to only play back a certain section of video pretty quickly and easily by adjusting the play range. Now, just like trimming the in and out points by clicking on the left or right side of a piece of media, I can adjust the play range by clicking directly on this little arrow here that's pointing to the right. That will move the in point of my play range. And then I can do the same thing here with the out point. Now, if I want my play range to move based on a key command, I can go ahead and position my playhead and then hold down Command+Option+O to set my out point, and then if I move my playhead again, I can do Option+Command+I to move my in point.
Now, when I press the spacebar, I'm previewing only that one section. So here, very quickly, I can move my playhead back to the beginning of the play range, select the Circle, press I, and just use the spacebar to begin and stop playback. Here I could move the next one, press I, I. I can do this in real time as well.
Perfect! So remember, if you need to adjust the timing of the objects in your project, or just navigate the Timeline, the Timing panel and the Timing Window have you covered.

Sales performance is highly driven by specific and appropriate forms of motivation. Sales managers constantly work to keep their team actively engaged by motivating high achievers and laggards, increasing the pace, and promoting natural social pressure. This can lead to higher performance in the form of productivity, customer satisfaction, and revenue produced.
Topics: Employee Performance
Businesses can't achieve their goals without a committed team, and that responsibility lies on management. In order to improve company performance, managers need to ensure their teams are properly trained, engaged, and motivated to step up their game.
Driving employee engagement requires the most effective tools and tactics. Here are three types of employee engagement tools that are proven to accelerate motivation and performance. Let's dive in.
Topics: Employee Performance
In order to achieve business success, you need to hit your goals. And, to hit your goals you need:
- The right talent.
- That talent performing optimally.
You simply won't achieve your goals without a committed team. It's up to management to effectively train employees and drive motivation and engagement. If crucial departments, like customer service, aren't properly nurtured and morale is lacking, not only will performance decrease but people turnover will increase.
Topics: Employee Performance, Customer Service
Sales teams are only as strong as their managers leading them. When sales reps are kept motivated by sales managers, high morale will drive business — it's a given.
In this post, we'll illustrate the best ways that managers can motivate reps and elaborate on the impact sales motivation has on teams by sharing key insights from experts in the field! Here's our roundup of proven methods for motivating sales reps.
As a sales manager, you understand the importance of measuring your team's performance in order to make improvements, but do you accurately understand how frequently you should be looking at these metrics? The answer is: you should almost always be looking at this data in real-time. Here's why:
It's no secret that sales is a unique function in any organization that requires employees with particular talents and skills. With that singularity comes the need for sales managers and human resources to manage this group differently than they would manage employees in other groups. How is sales performance management different?
Topics: Sales, Employee Performance
Your customers are what drive your organization; your product or service was built to solve their problems, and their contribution (financially and otherwise) is what keeps the organization moving in the right direction. It makes sense that you invest in making every interaction they have with your company the best. Take a second to think about the time, capital, and human resources you invest in customer experience every month. Now it's time to be 100% honest with yourself — do you invest the same amount of resources in your employees' experiences?
Topics: Employee Performance
Consistently measuring and reporting on customer service KPIs helps your organization benchmark a standard level of performance and view trends over time. These trends will allow you to determine if the overall quality of customer care is improving or deteriorating and where that might be attributed. For example, if you notice customer satisfaction is steadily improving, it could be correlated to a lower time to resolution. As a manager, you can now see which agents are improving their individual KPIs and reward their achievements.
Topics: Goals, Employee Performance
Goals are an incredibly useful tool and possibly the most important element within performance management. Everything else tends to be somewhat ancillary to a strong goal system. We are often asked for recommendations on how to set up goals.
Topics: Goals
It's that time of year again; year-end reviews have been completed and employers are strategizing ways to increase team performance for the next year. Before getting too far into strategy talks, it's important to understand the workplace trends 2016 will bring and how they will impact employee performance management. Here are five of our predictions:

Believe it or not, progress has been made on the Peace Bridge. Historic progress that could move truck traffic along and go a long way toward alleviating many problems.
After years of talk comes news that some U.S.-bound cargo will be inspected on the Canadian side of the Peace Bridge starting Feb. 24. The kickoff begins a six-month pilot project that could result in the eventual move of all initial truck inspections to the Fort Erie side of the bridge.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., took the lead in persuading the Department of Homeland Security to select Fort Erie for one of two pilot projects, so it was appropriate that he announced the move. He also added an amendment to the Senate-passed Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill in June 2013 that will make the preclearance pilot programs permanent if deemed successful. Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, also pushed for the Department of Homeland Security to include the Peace Bridge in the pilot project.
As Schumer said, this could herald a new era at the Peace Bridge, an era in which idling truck traffic on the bridge or in Buffalo would be greatly reduced. Getting to this point wasn't easy. It also required agreement by the Canadian government to allow gun-toting U.S. customs agents on its side of the border, which at one point seemed to be a deal-breaker.
If the program becomes permanent, truck congestion on the bridge should be reduced because trucks often back up as they wait to approach the seven customs inspection booths in Buffalo.
Moreover, speeding truck traffic across the bridge will result in less noise and cleaner air for residents of the neighborhood near the bridge. That could ease residents' concerns over asthma and other respiratory problems.
However, that seems unlikely after the story last month in The News that in 2012 high asthma rates prompted several federal agencies to briefly consider moving all the truck traffic off the Peace Bridge and to the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge. The U.S. General Services Administration led that effort, even while some within the agency weren't aware of it. An official from New York summarily squelched the effort, and now neighborhood activists and environmentalists are understandably up in arms.
The solution, though, is not to move the pollution to another place but to reduce it. The pre-inspection pilot project is a step in that direction, along with the federal budget agreement that increased funding for Customs and Border Protection by $220 million. More than half that money will go toward hiring and training 2,000 new border agents, and some of them will be available to staff more inspection booths for vehicles coming into the United States.
It's been a long road, but in the end it is one that may get a little less congested.

About Great World Texts
Launched in 2005 by the Center for the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Great World Texts in Wisconsin connects scholars at UW-Madison with high school teachers and students across the state through the shared project of reading and discussing a classic piece of world literature. Drawing from world literature throughout the ages, the program's selection of texts reflects a capacious understanding of the idea of the "literary classic." In previous years, faculty, teachers and students have collaborated on texts associated with mid-twentieth-century Colombia, ancient Greece, and contemporary India. The program includes workshops in which participating teachers work with UW faculty members on interpreting and understanding each text, extensive supporting curriculum materials, and an Annual Student Conference in which students from all participating schools come together to share their work and hear from distinguished speakers. Now in its eleventh year, Great World Texts has reached hundreds of students and teachers in dozens of school districts throughout the state of Wisconsin.
2016-2017 Program: William Shakespeare's The Tempest in Wisconsin
Call for Participation: click here to apply to participate in the 2016-2017 Great World Texts in Wisconsin program. The deadline for applications is June 6.
In the 2016-2017 Great World Texts in Wisconsin program, teachers and students throughout the state will read William Shakespeare's The Tempest. Participants will thus join worldwide celebrations of Shakespeare's 400-year legacy, which at UW-Madison will include an exhibit of Shakespeare's original First Folio, arguably the most treasured book to date. The Tempest is the last play Shakespeare wrote and one of its most enigmatic and inspiring, anticipating contemporary debates around colonialism, imperialism, racism, indigeneity, gender, and disability. First performed in 1611, The Tempest takes place in a remote island where exiled sorcerer Prospero seeks redemption for himself and his daughter Miranda by orchestrating several encounters between human and supernatural, native and foreign, noble and treacherous characters. The play offers a reflection on literary creation itself, with Prospero figured as an "author" within the play. It also features some of Shakespeare's most unforgettable and complex characters: the spirit Ariel, the Algerian witch Sycorax, and her deformed and enslaved son Caliban—an anagram of "cannibal". As they read the play and explore its hundreds of adaptations (including sci-fi movies, prison dramas, and classic opera, and a forthcoming adaptation by Margaret Atwood), students and educators will engage with a historical background of transatlantic travel, conquest, and slavery throughout the 16th and 17th centuries.
Featuring a keynote address by Booker Prize-winning novelist Margaret Atwood, the Great World Texts in Wisconsin Annual Student Conference will take place on Monday, April 3, 2017. The conference program will be available as the conference nears.

Critical Access Hospitals play an important role in the provision of long term care (LTC) services in rural communities, and are more likely than other rural and urban hospitals to provide "core" LTC including skilled and intermediate care nursing services. Trends over time showed a greater decline in CAHs than other hospitals in the provision of LTC services, suggesting that changes in LTC reimbursement policies could affect LTC access in rural communities.

Provision of Long Term Care Services by Critical Access Hospitals
Cutler Institute awarded $600,000 to help youth raised in foster system
USM's Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy has been awarded a $600,000 grant to help young people raised in Maine's foster system to prepare for college and the workforce.
The money comes from the Annie E. Casey Foundation as part of a $5.4 million national effort aimed at youth who are homeless or in either the foster care or juvenile justice systems.
"Many of these young people have suffered abuse or trauma and were raised in poverty and neglect," said Marty Zanghi, the Cutler Center's youth development director.
The money -- including an expected $400,000 more in matching funds -- will pay for contracted work with agencies in the target areas, starting with the greater Portland area and Penobscot, Kennebec and Somerset counties.
Nationally and in Maine, only about 3 percent of people who grow up in the foster care system achieve a college degree, he said.
"It's dramatically lower than the rate for the general population," Zanghi said. "It's a horrible outcome."
It doesn't have to be that way, though.
"There are young people that overcome these circumstances," he said. "I know people who have master's degrees and Ph.Ds."
The Casey Foundation's national effort is being called the "Learn and Earn to Achieve Potential" (LEAP) initiative.
The initiative is working on partnerships in Maine and nine other areas: Alaska, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska and New York. In each case, people will adapt two evidence-based models to meet the needs of these youth, including support to address the trauma they may have experienced in their lives.
In Maine, the work will include a pair of successful programs, Jobs for Maine Graduates (JMG) and Jobs for the Future. Results will be carefully tracked, Zanghi said.
After the first year, the program is expected to grow.
"Eventually, the additional help will be available to all children, 14 and over, in the foster care system in the state of Maine," Zanghi said.

Sixers GM: No Decision Yet On Coach
Philadelphia 76ers general manager Sam Hinkie denied a New York Daily News report that the team has decided to hire San Antonio Spurs assistant Brett Brown as their new coach.
Saying "nothing of that substance happened," Hinkie also said after the draft: "We had a lot of things going on. That was not part of what happened in the last several hours."
Hinkie said he has yet to formally interview anyone following the departure of Doug Collins, who was not retained after three seasons as the club's coach.

Commissioners from both the city and county met to discuss an excise tax that would reinstate a 2% tax on manufacturers of energy after the energy tax is phased out.
The Georgia Legislature voted to abolish the energy tax in order to be more competitive in luring big industries to Georgia since Florida, Alabama and South Carolina do not currently have an energy tax.
Industries were being taxed 7% for energy consumption--4% of that was going to state tax. Imposing an excise tax would restore 2% of that lost revenue. The tax would be a county tax and, if adopted, the city would have the opportunity to enter into an intergovernmental agreement and receive a portion of that revenue. Commissioners will have 30 days to form a decision.
Spokesperson for Proctor and Gamble, Vince Falcione says they appreciate local commissioners supporting the abolishment of the energy tax, meanwhile they understand local leaders must do what's best for the county and the area.

It's a girl for Chad Lowe and his girlfriend, producer Kim Painter, the actor's rep confirms to PEOPLE.
Daughter Mabel Painter Lowe made her debut on Saturday in Los Angeles. "Everybody is healthy and happy," says the rep.
The couple announced the pregnancy in January, with Lowe explaining that Painter revealed the baby news to him with a grin. "She woke up with a very big smile on her face and I knew exactly what that meant," the Emmy-winning actor, 41, told Access Hollywood.
Lowe and Painter began dating in January 2007. Mabel is the first child for the couple.

Game Night is usually Friday nights at Western Oregon Wargamers club and Sunday nights wherever we have a venue.
As a bit of background, we play House Games. A tabletop RPG that canabalizes World of Darkness, Call of Cthulhu, etc. Its majorly homebrew and VERY lethal. In fact, my character is infected with a spritual parasite that will eat my soul unless I figure a way to fix myself before the next game(Sunday).
The players are called High Rollers, well, because they put everything on the line in the pursuit of power. Beings called Harbingers come in and give players various missions to do, sometimes not telling them anything just to see what will happen.
High Rollers are dicks. Pure and simple. We look out for number one and no one else. This isn't D&D, where everybody looks out for each other. I will look out for the guy/gal next to me in a party only in so far as to assure my own survival. I will kill them or abandon them if it suits my purposes.
Most people would shy away from such single minded gaming, but it IS very much fun and terribly addictive. After all, every mission you succeed in, your PC gets a gift/power.
I'm hungry right now, but that's not important.
Anyways, people do get upset over the game because they've invested alot of time into their characters(a typical rookie character will stay novice until he/she survives at least 25-30 games and the death rate is usually 50%).
Last night was no exception as our fearless leader and another player went at it over a few things.
Namely, railroaded games.
You know the type, the GM/DM walks in and MAKES your party do shit.
"I want to cross the street and ask the cop something."
"The cop walks off and ignores you completely"
"Oh yeah? I shoot an innocent bystander!"
"Your gun jams"
"God damnit!"
Pretty much like that. Not that it has ever really happened to that extent in any of our games. Each player will get a chance to GM eventually. I'm going to do my first House Game next Friday.
This kind of 'railroading' characters just isn't fun for anybody. What's the point? Let the PC's figure out the plot on their own, if you as GM are not creative enough to accomodate a bunch of players fumbling around, you need to look elsewhere for entertainment. Provide some hints! Obvious clues are lame, but be subtle and hope that the players notice something. If necessary, nudge them, but never force them down a path.
That is all. I'm going to play some Dragon Age now. Lates!

Rainier Equine Hoof Recovery Center
Rating: 5 stars 11 11 reviews
12211 123rd Avenue SE Rainier WA 98576 USA
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to aiding equines whose hooves have fallen into a state of disrepair for any reason. We work diligently to return them to a condition where they can move painfree.
Our large goals are the purchase of a long loafing shed to provide pasture shelter for all the horses at one time. There are 40 acres adjacent to our 10 acres that we would love to purchase one day to create an equine sanctuary and enable us to help more horses and teach morse students about caring for their fundamental needs.
Geographic areas served:
Western Washington
Hoof trimming clinics to teach owners about natural hoofcare and maintaining their horses hooves as well as riding clinics, natural horsemanship and kids camps.

I discovered an extremely foundered mini mare laying in misery in a field all alone. Dora had foundered many years prior to my seeing this little beauty. I called Pat and told her what I knew at the time of Dora. Pat went the next day and rescued Dora. Pat put Dora in a minivan and drove her back to REHRC. That same day Pat worked on Dora's little hooves and made "custom" booties for her little feet. Today Dora is running with the rest of the herd. Content and mostly pain free. THANK YOU PAT!

Richfield trustees discuss issues with Rising Valley Park gate
The ballad of the Rising Valley Park gate added another verse recently, and the Richfield Township Board of Trustees talked at the April 18 meeting about how to wrap it up.
In order to make things easier for emergency vehicles and the township road crews, the trustees left the gate open throughout the winter.
They instructed Park Administrator Chris Eastwood to lower the gate April 15. However, less than three days later, someone driving from the south crashed into it.
"Chris said the gate was bent so much that one of the welds was broken," said Trustee David Wyatt. "Maybe speed bumps would be a good way to slow people down."
"Cars are continuing to fly through there," said Township Administrator Linda Bowmer.
"I wouldn't be surprised if we've paid as much in repairs as we paid for the gate originally," said Fiscal Officer Laurie Pinney.
In related news, the trustees approved a paving project for Newton and Oviatt roads. The township lowered its costs by repairing the trouble spots rather than motor-paving the entire road.
Trustees agreed to pay Lytle Construction Co. $34,068 to fix Oviatt Road and $23,956 to repair Newton Road. Bowmer said next month township officials will learn if they will receive funding for the repair of Hawkins Road, which would take place in 2014.
Also during the meeting:
- Bowmer said the Ohio Department of Transportation was nearly finished with its repairs of the Interstate 77 bridge over state Route 303.
In addition, Bowmer said she attended a meeting of the Ohio Township Association, which introduced township officials around the state to 360-Public.com, a website that aggregates public information on demographics, housing, economics, crime and education from several sources.
- The trustees agreed to renew the township's insurance policies with Wichert Insurance at a cost of $15,428.
"Our cost went up by $1,500 due to an extra piece of equipment and an increase in property value," Wyatt said.
- Pinney delivered the quarterly financial report to the trustees. She said the township is expected to receive approximately $61,000 in Local Government Funds in 2013, which is "dramatically" down.
Pinney also said her budget planning is easier since the police and fire contracts are set for the next two years. Also, the trash-hauling contract with Rumpke Waste Hauling is fixed through 2015, with an option to renew for two more years, she said.
She also said the 2014 budget is scheduled to be approved at the July 18 trustees meeting.
- Township Trustee Janet Jankura discussed the idea of having a dog park in Richfield.
"It's a nice feature in a community that allows dogs to run free in a fenced area," she said. "We could post behavior and use rules. There's a little one in Brecksville with a double gate to keep the dogs in, as well as some obstacles. It's just a thought."
- The public hearing that was scheduled to take place before the meeting was continued until June 20 at 6:30 p.m. The owners of the property on the southeast corner of Broadview and Boston roads requested a postponement of the hearing on the proposal to rezone the property from R-1 (Rural Residential) to C-1 (Local Commercial.)
The next Richfield trustees' meeting is scheduled for May 2 at 10 a.m. at the township offices, located behind the fire station on West Streetsboro Road.

Libertarian Paternalism Is an Oxymoron
Gregory Mitchell
University of Virginia School of Law
FSU College of Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 136; FSU College of Law, Law and Economics Paper No. 05-02
This essay considers the concept of libertarian paternalism recently advanced by Sunstein and Thaler and argues that, on close inspection, this attempt to reconcile the traditionally opposed concepts of libertarianism and paternalism fails to succeed. Most significantly, Sunstein and Thaler neglect alternative approaches to dealing with irrational choice behavior that are more consistent with libertarian principles and that make choice-framing paternalism evitable, they would subjugate the liberty of irrational individuals to a central planner's paternalistic welfare judgments, and they fail to deal with the redistributive consequences of libertarian paternalism. Libertarian paternalism, as currently formulated, is not designed to liberate individuals from their irrational tendencies but to capitalize on irrational tendencies to move citizens in directions that the paternalistic planner deems best. Libertarian paternalism does leave rational persons a way out of the central planner's paternalism, but often the exit will not be costless, as the paternalistic costs of trying to improve the welfare of irrational persons are shifted to the rational persons. While fidelity to libertarian principles leaves little room for the government to regulate irrational behavior, there are some forms of irrationality regulation more congenial to libertarian principles than Sunstein and Thaler's version of libertarian paternalism, examples of which are discussed here.

SCHUBERT: German Lieder - Low Voice, Vol. II
To play the media you will need to update yourFlash plugin.
Bass/baritone voice
Composed by Franz Schubert (1797-1828). Vocal Score and CD+G. Published by Music Minus One (MO.MMOCDG4004).
Item Number: MO.MMOCDG4004
ISBN 1596154942. Accompaniment: John Wustman, piano.
Volume Two of our collection of Schubert Lieder for low voice. More magnificent pieces for your learning and performance pleasure from the composer who revolutionized the concept of the lied.

About CD+G
CD+G (CD+Graphics) is a special disc format in which simple graphics and text are stored in the sub channels of an audio disc. When you play a CD+G disc in a CD+G compatible player (like a karaoke machine), lyrics and images appear on the monitor or TV screen in time to the music. If you play a CD+G disc in a regular CD player, you'll still be able to hear the music and sing along to your favorite tracks, but the graphics features won't function. The CD+G format is a fun and useful learning tool!

Who's hotPHILLIES: Ryan Howard. The Phillies first baseman has hit .349 (22-for-63) with seven home runs and 23 RBI over the last 16 games.
ROCKIES: Troy Tulowitzki. The 2006 Rookie of the Year hit .350 over the final month of the season with eight home runs and 19 RBI. As expected, he's been a huge part of Colorado's run to a wild-card berth.
Who's notPHILLIES: Chase Utley. Much has been made of Utley's .204 average in September but of more concern was his .304 OBP. Even when he struggles at the plate, Utley always has been able to reach base close to, if not over, .400.
ROCKIES: Third Base. Ian Stewart and Garrett Atkins have combined to hit .227 this year. Despite that low average, Stewart and Atkins have combined for 118 RBI and 34 home runs.

Interfaith Alliance to Gohmert: Stop Demonizing Islam
February 22, 2013
For Immediate Release
Contact: Josh Glasstetter, West End Strategy Team, 202-776-7700, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Honorable Louie Gohmert
2243 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Representative Gohmert:
I write to you with great concern over your recent comments on the radio program The Voice of Freedom regarding measures to prevent gun violence. Your implication that the Second Amendment must be strongly upheld so that Americans can arm themselves against sharia, Muslim religious law, is troubling. It is all the more troubling when I recall that just last summer the organization which I serve as president, Interfaith Alliance, alongside 41 religious and civil rights groups wrote to you in protest of your demonization of prominent American Muslim government officials and community organizations. I am disappointed to see that neither your rhetoric nor your misinformed view of Islam has changed.
I hope that you will review a resource Interfaith Alliance produced in collaboration with the Religious Freedom Education Project of the First Amendment Center entitled What is the Truth About American Muslims: Questions and Answers. I have attached a copy to this letter and in particular would call your attention to questions 19-27 which focus on the nature of sharia. These questions include, "How do American Muslims follow sharia?" and "Do American Muslims want to replace the U.S. Constitution with sharia?" This resource has also been endorsed by nearly two dozen religious, civic and civil rights groups, all united to combat ignorance and bigotry against American Muslims and protect religious freedom.
I feel compelled to again remind you that the continued demonization of Islam and disenfranchisement of the American Muslim community is not only uncalled for, it is a dangerous affront to the religious freedom upon which this nation was founded and it must end. American Muslims, the overwhelming majority of whom live peaceful, law-abiding lives — just like Americans from other religious groups — should not have to live in a country where their elected officials imply that they need to be kept at bay with firearms.
Furthermore, at a time when gun violence has wracked our nation with one unimaginable tragedy after another, I would hope that elected officials such as you would stay focused on real measures to prevent future needless deaths. I would hope that you would focus your attention on measures to truly balance the Second Amendment rights you so strongly defend, rather than derailing what should be a substantive policy discussion with misguided bigotry. No matter our disagreements, we as a nation need to be done forever with the thought that guns are a solution to our problems.
In my experience, the only people in the U.S. government who are concerned that there are those who think "sharia law ought to be the law of the land" are those who, like you, are misguidedly attempting to infringe upon the religious freedom of American Muslims to practice their faith. I hope that you will give a close look to the attached questions and answers guide and cease your demonization of a group of Americans who have the same right as you to be here and practice their faith.
Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy

Economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez have emerged over recent years as the world's most respected authorities on income concentration. No one has generated better historical data on the incomes of America's super-rich.
But Piketty and Saez haven't done much work, for the general public, on the impact of top-heavy income distribution on our daily economic lives. That just changed. The Paris-based Piketty and Saez, a University of California at Berkeley scholar, joined with MIT's Stefanie Stantcheva on a brief article that helps explain why raising taxes on a nation's rich creates economies that work for everyone, not just the wealthy.
Piketty and his colleagues begin "How Much Should The Rich Pay In Taxes?" in the most recent edition of the Tax Justice Focus quarterly by noting a simple and amply documented reality: In nations that have significantly lowered tax rates on high incomes, the rich have significantly increased their share of national income.
Since the 1970s in the U.S., the tax rate on income over $400,000 has dropped from 70 percent to 35 percent. Over that same span, households in the U.S. top one percent have more than doubled their national income share, to 20 percent.
In Europe and Japan, by contrast, tax rates on the rich have dropped much more slowly and top one percent income shares have increased "only modestly," they report.
Conservatives have an explanation for these numbers. High tax rates on high incomes, they claim, discourage entrepreneurs. Lowering high rates, the claim adds, encourages them. Entrepreneurs who can keep more of their income go on to invest in their economy, create jobs, and make everybody happier.
In the bigger economy lightly taxed entrepreneurs build for us, conservatives freely admit, the rich will make plenty of money and even increase their income share. But the rest of us shouldn't mind any of this at all. Thanks to the rich, they argue, we get to live in larger, more buoyant economies, the conservatives claim.
In their new Tax Justice Focus paper, Piketty, Saez, and Stantcheva put these claims to the test. If the conservative argument reflected reality, they note, nations that cut tax rates on the rich substantially should show much higher economic growth rates than nations that still levy stiff taxes on their richest.
In fact, the three economists point out, reality tells no such story.
Nations that have "made large cuts in top tax rates such as the United Kingdom or the United States, have not grown significantly faster than countries that did not, such as Germany or Denmark," their research shows. So what's going on in countries where the rich all of sudden face substantially smaller tax bills?
In these countries, such as the U.S., Piketty and his colleagues submit, top executives don't suddenly - and magically - become more "productive." They instead find themselves with a huge incentive to game the system, to squeeze out of the companies they run all the personal profit their power enables them to squeeze.
The more these executives can squeeze, in countries that sheared tax rates on the rich, the more they can keep. The result? The top one percent - in nations that go easy on the wealthy at tax time -proceed, as the authors put it, to "grab at the expense of the remaining 99 percent."
The three authors don't go into chapter and verse on this money-grabbing in their new paper; they don't need to. Millions of Americans already know this grabbing behavior first-hand. They've seen corporate execs routinely outsource and downsize, slash wages and attack pensions, cheat consumers and fix prices.
How can we start discouraging these sorts of corporate executive behaviors? Piketty, Saez, and Stantcheva have a straightforward suggestion: Raise taxes on America's highest-income bracket; raise them as high as 83 percent.
This suggestion, the three acknowledge, may now seem politically "unthinkable." But back between the 1940s and the 1970s, they point out, the notion that we ought to raise taxes on the rich to reduce the incentive for outrageous behavior rated as the conventional wisdom in the United States.
In those years, "policy makers and public opinion" felt strongly that pay increases at the nation's economic summit "reflected mostly greed or other socially wasteful activities rather than productive work."
Is this perception about pay at the top now about to make a comeback? Piketty and his fellow researchers certainly think so, and they see in the Occupy movement signs of a shifting public perspective on the wealth of the wealthy.
Economists ought to be speeding this shift "with compelling theoretical and empirical analysis," add Piketty, Saez, and Stantcheva in a hopeful final note. These three authors, their new paper demonstrates, practice what they preach. All the rest of us should be grateful.

A longtime financial adviser preyed on the widowed friends of his wife and mother to bilk them out of more than $1 million to fund a lavish lifestyle including yacht docking fees and private school tuition for his children, according to federal prosecutors.
Frederick McMenimen III of Exeter will go on trial in January, after a federal judge last week found him mentally competent to stand trial. He was deemed incompetent in June and was committed to federal custody for psychiatric treatment and evaluation at a medical facility in North Carolina.
McMenimen, 50, has pleaded not guilty to charges of mail fraud, tax evasion, money laundering and interstate transportation of goods obtained by fraud. He declined to comment outside of court.
Assistant U.S. Attorney William Morse argued for an earlier trial date, saying the elderly victims were stripped of their life savings, are anxious to see justice done and could forget details when questioned in court.
"Their memories are not improving," Morse said.
But Judge Steven McAuliffe deferred to public defender Bjorn Lange's request for postponement, noting the dwindling resources and staff at the public defenders' office. Lange was appointed by McAuliffe after McMenimen's financial affidavit showed he couldn't afford a private lawyer.
McAuliffe said there would be no further delays "absent truly extraordinary circumstances."
Lange declined to comment on the case.
Morse would not say how many women are involved, and the October 2012 indictment doesn't specify the number or identify the victims.
Court documents describe them as "financially unsophisticated" women who placed a great deal of trust in McMenimen. Prosecutors say McMenimen directed them - all residents of New Hampshire - to liquidate life insurance annuities and other investments and turn them over to him.
The indictment says McMenimen convinced the women to write him checks totaling in excess of $1 million between 2007 and 2011. Rather than invest the money as he claimed he would, prosecutors say he put more than $134,000 toward his home mortgage, made $350,000 in credit card payments and $120,000 in tuition payments and spent more than $31,000 to dock and accessorize his yacht.
Prosecutors say he deposited the women's checks into an account he maintained for a defunct sporting goods business he once ran. Many of the deposits were made to a bank branch in Kittery, Maine. He then funneled most of the funds into an account he maintained in the name of a close relative, authorities say.
He is also charged with tax evasion from 2008 through 2010, when prosecutors say he "substantially" underreported his income.
