Adam Fleischman says he has nothing against restaurant critics. While preparing his Umami Burger chain in Los Angeles for expansion and developing a new pizza concept, Fleischman found his company in the limelight last month when one of its restaurants, Red Medicine, ejected Los Angeles Times restaurant critic S. Irene Virbila and posted her photograph online to destroy her long-guarded anonymity. Fleischman, who is a financial backer in the Beverly Hills restaurant, said he is tired of ...

China's government on Thursday lamented a World Trade Organization ruling that found its caps on exports of rare-earth elements, tungsten and molybdenum were unjustified.
"China will keep enhancing its management of resource products under the WTO rules to preserve fair competition," an unnamed trade ministry official told the official Xinhua news agency.
The WTO ruled Wednesday that restrictions on the exports of those raw materials, which are used to make high-tech products and sophisticated weapons, violate global trade rules.
China, which in the case of rare-earth elements is a quasi-monopoly supplier, has 60 days to appeal the decision.
"The dispute has not come to an end. We are evaluating the panel report to decide whether to appeal to the WTO appellate body. If the final ruling upholds the panel report, we will remove the restrictions," the trade ministry's director for treaties and law, Yang Guohua, said.
The Geneva-based organization began investigating China's rare-earth caps in 2012 at the request of the United States, the European Union, Japan and Canada, which argued the Asian giant was abusing its advantageous market position and wielding it as a trade and even political weapon.
In 2010, for example, China reduced its rare-earth exports to Japan in retaliation for the interception of a Chinese fishing boat and arrest of its captain near disputed islands in the East China Sea.
China insists the caps are imposed for environmental - as opposed to economic or political - reasons, saying extraction of rare-earth metals is highly polluting.
Indeed, China accounts for 90 percent of global output of rare earths in part because countries like India, Brazil and the United States have not developed their large reserves of those metals due concerns over the impact of production on soil or because of lack of technology.
"The government of China, which is facing severe resource and environmental pressure, has boosted its controls on products that are highly polluting or which consume large quantities of energy, thus contributing to the sustainable development of the planet," a trade ministry official told Xinhua.

range County encompasses 798 square miles and borders on the counties of Los Angeles to the north, Riverside and San Bernardino to the east and San Diego to the south and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Its population is more than 2.5 million, making it the fifth most populated county in the country. The combined population of Los Angeles, Riverside and Orange counties is more than 14.5 million. The county includes 31 cities characterized as "sprawling" suburbs with no distinct urban centers. The largest population concentrations are in the cities of Santa Ana (13 percent) and Anaheim (12 percent).1 The population has spread considerably into the southern reaches of the county during the past decade, resulting in the creation of new cities.
Compared with the nation as a whole, Orange County has a higher proportion of young to middle-aged residents, and a lower proportion of older residents. It also has a significantly higher proportion of Hispanic and Asian residents, and a lower proportion of African Americans than the national average. Education and income levels exceed the national averages, and the proportion of families living below the poverty level is about half the national average.2 Unemployment in Orange County is also lower than in the nation as a whole. Despite this generally affluent economic picture, respondents report pockets of poverty. The proportion of Orange Countys population covered by Medi-Cal and the proportion without any health insurance exceed the national averages.3
Overall, Orange Countys health status is quite good. Age-adjusted total mortality is about 30 percent lower than the national average.4 Overall infant mortality is 27 percent lower than the national average; among whites, it is 12 percent lower than the national average for whites, and among non-whites, it is 57 percent lower than the national average.5 Given the countys relatively healthy population and history of managed care, it is not surprising that hospital utilization is relatively low. Hospital admissions per 1,000 and hospital days per 1,000 are 21 percent and 36 percent lower than the national averages, respectively.6 Hospital capacity is 21 percent lower than the national average.7 Physician supply, on the other hand, exceeds national averages; primary and specialty care physician supply is 20 percent and 18 percent higher, respectively, than the national average.8
The market for health insurance in Orange County extends throughout Southern California and, in some cases, statewide. In contrast, the market for health services has remained relatively local. The broad market for health insurance reflects health plans corporate strategies and the areas commuter culture. Many of the countys larger employers have operations elsewhere. Most of the health plans operating in Orange County have an Orange County sales force that operates within a statewide or Southern California marketing strategy.
The market for health services is more defined within the county boundaries. Respondents describe separate but overlapping sub-markets in South County, Central County and North County. Each sub-market is home to full-service hospitals as well as physician groups and IPAs. A few provider systems span the entire county, including the St. Josephs hospital system and its affiliated physicians and the newly formed Tenet/OrNda system. Memorial Health Services and MedPartners have providers in South County and North County and are aiming for county-wide coverage. A few provider systems reach into or from Los Angeles County.
No distinct tertiary care core draws referrals from surrounding hospitals. The University of California Irvine Medical Center, Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, St. Josephs Hospital and Medical Center and Childrens Hospital of Orange County all provide a significant amount of tertiary care. Respondents report that out-of-county migration to tertiary care facilities in Los Angeles and San Diego, such as UCLA, Cedars/Sinai and Scripps, has declined in recent years as local providers built their own tertiary care programs. Some indigent patients reportedly continue to use the public facilities of Los Angeles County.
Plans and purchasers view Orange County as a relatively low-cost health care market, and predict increased efficiency, especially as hospital consolidation continues. There is a strong business orientation to local health care. Health care leaders measure themselves and their competition in terms of premiums; profit margins; the number of capitated lives; per-member-per-month rates; and the split of capitation revenue among plans, hospitals and physician groups.
There was no clear consensus on the value of health services consumers receive. Respondents views of the quality of care delivered within this market vary. Some hospital and physician group medical directors commented on the sophistication of care management techniques at the medical group level, and pointed to these mechanisms as evidence of high-quality care delivery. Others indicated that intensive competition has forced physicians to take shortcuts in care delivery that ultimately may lower quality of care.
Leadership and decision making are dispersed throughout Orange County. There is no definitive "Orange County way" of doing business and no sense that the county defines itself as a single community. Sources of county-wide leadership are difficult to locate. Health care leadership emanates from specific organizations pursuing their market-driven agendas.
Asked about community leadership, several respondents spoke of decision making at the level of the countys 31 cities. Others spoke about the countys diffuse small businesses as the "fabric of the community." Still others reported that many of Los Angeless prominent residents conduct business and exert influence in Orange County. Members of the local business community reportedly do not play a strong role in health care leadership.
Executives of the major health plans, hospitals and physician organizations operating in Orange County are the key health care leaders and decision makers. Respondents report that leaders of some of these organizations are losing their local focus as their organizations target larger markets. A mix of nationally and locally based business leaders is at the helm of these organizations.
Health care consumers are not unified. The Healthcare Council is an umbrella entity with 73 member organizations focused on community-wide health care issues. It has not enjoyed community-based funding or support from county residents, who reportedly give more to arts charities than to health or social services. Several organizations focus on issues for specific populations, such as Latinos, Southeast Asians and the elderly, but consumer organization and advocacy are considered much stronger in neighboring Los Angeles County.
Respondents said the community generally addresses health care problems, such as the expected curtailment of Medi-Cal-funded prenatal care for undocumented immigrants, through collaboration among a few broad organizations. These organizations typically include provider associations, such as the Health Care Association of Southern California, the Orange County Medical Association and the Coalition of Community Clinics; safety net providers; local government; and a few not-for-profit groups, such as the United Way. Although the communitys approach is not viewed as proactive, community actors have worked together at times to address crises.

Anette Ejsing will give her presentation, "Balancing Environmental Fear: A Redemptive Eschatology between Silent Spring and The World without Us," at the Midwest Regional AAR Meeting, April 4-5, at the Dominican Priory Conference Center, River Forest, IL. In the presentation, Anette Ejsing argues for the importance of an eschatology that falls between fear-infused apocalypticism and fear-less evolutionism. She does so by a critical evaluation of the following two works: 1) Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (1962), which first raised awareness that the spread of chemical pollutants causes environmental changes that might eventually make human existence impossible. It was instrumental in launching the global environmental movement, but it also caused a surge in fear-infused apocalypticism, the most recent expression of which is Al Gore's, An Inconvenient Truth; 2) Alan Weisman's recent publication, The World Without Us, which eliminates the fear factor by looking past humanity's disappearance into an imaginary future where the earth, without the daily pressures of human life, would heal itself.

Pamplona – A bull took the lead early in the fifth running of the bulls in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona, making for an exciting spectacle on Monday for runners and spectators alike at the San Fermin festival.
Several runners fell down as the black bull from the Fuente Ymbro estate raced past them, completing its run in barely two minutes and leaving the rest of the herd 30 seconds behind.
Runners sought out the blessing of Saint Fermin before the traditional firing of a rocket in front of Pamplona city hall, marking the start of the run.
The lead bull trampled a runner who could not stay ahead of it, and several other runners suffered the same fate, but no one was gored.
The nine-day San Fermin festival got under way on July 6 with the traditional firing of a rocket in front of Pamplona city hall amid the shouts of thousands of people, many of them visitors from around the world.
A total of 2.7 million euros ($3.8 million) was budgeted this year for the festival, whose program includes 342 music shows, 137 family related activities and 33 events involving bulls.
The runs in Pamplona are filled with tension and emotion, and occasionally result in tragedy, with 15 runners having been killed since statistics began to be kept in the early 20th century and many others having suffered gorings and other injuries.
The run to the bull ring is especially dangerous because some people take part in the event after all-night drinking binges, which makes them reckless and more likely to get too close to animals that weigh in excess of 500 kilos (1,100 pounds).
The running of the bulls is monitored by experts who control the route and try to prevent accidents, but, inevitably, runners fall, suffer cuts and bruises, and are even gored by the animals.
As many as 1 million visitors from around the world descend on Pamplona during the festival - many of them Americans but also Frenchmen, Britons, Italians, Germans and Latin Americans.
The festival, begun about 400 years ago, was popularized by Ernest Hemingway in his 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises."

Should witchcraft be criminalized?
Amich Alhumami
The Criminal Code — inherited from 1918 Dutch colonialists — is to be revised. The government has proposed a new bill to the House of Representatives for deliberation. The bill has sparked controversy as it includes witchcraft in the penal code, categorizing it as a criminal offense punishable under the law.
The reason witchcraft must be incorporated into the criminal law is because it is harmful to the people, and the Criminal Code should protect them from the dangers of witchcraft. It should also protect those accused of practicing witchcraft, charlatanism and black magic from any sort of violence, witch hunts or sorcerer murders by the masses.
We have frequently observed how witchcraft and attacks on perceived witches and sorcerers occur across the country, while authorities who are supposed to enforce the law to maintain public order and justice can do nothing.
That witchcraft is hazardous to the people is beyond a shadow of a doubt. As a result, we should take it seriously in order to prevent the excesses of witchcraft and sorcery practices from escalating.
Nevertheless, despite the social significance of adopting witchcraft into the penal code, it is obviously important to define clearly what can be classified as a witchcraft-related crime. In this regard, we should distinguish three types of behavior: (1) killing-by-witchcraft or harming someone with the use of magic or through sorcery, (2) witchcraft accusations that often result in the assault of suspected witches and massacres, and (3) mass violence involving taking the law into one's own hands as a result of a collective reaction to witchcraft and an expression of public anger with the perceived witch.
There are numerous anthropological studies showing that witchcraft is deeply ingrained in the culture of a society. Much of anthropological research has clearly shown that witchcraft is a part of the system of cosmological beliefs of any society and exists both within primitive society and modern society.
Anthropologists commonly argue that witchcraft is a sort of psychic phenomenon shrouded in mystery and secrecy, and sorcery is always practiced in clandestine settings, which are beyond empirical observation by other people. Here, people perceive that someone is practicing sorcery or employs witchcraft on someone else simply through rumor and gossip.
Prominent anthropologist Adam Ashforth ( 2005 ) once said that witchcraft is both a subject of gossip and a product of gossip; and gossip is the medium within which it lives. What emerges among the public is that accusations of witchcraft lead to communal tension, even violence. In this sense, accusations and tensions are the only proof of witchcraft.
Certainly, this is the crux of the problem in relation to the prosecution of witchcraft-related crimes. As witchcraft is employed with the use of supernatural power and it always takes place in concealed areas, actual physical proof is lacking. Equally, the way witchcraft works cannot be observed directly, nor can empirical evidence of it be easily captured. In most cases, accusations of sorcery and those who are accused of employing witchcraft usually come about due to circumstantial evidence, instead of empirical evidence, in the form of jealousy, abhorrence, vengeance, retaliation and the like.
Having considered the urgency of adopting witchcraft into the criminal code, it is necessary to take a look at whether other countries apply, say, a sorcery law. Here, we can learn from one of the most advantageous and modern states like Canada, which has regulated witchcraft and magic. The Canadian Criminal Code (c.C-46, 1985, section 365) clearly states: "Everyone who fraudulently (i) pretends to exercise or to use any kind of witchcraft, sorcery, enchantment; (ii) undertakes, for a consideration, to tell fortune; or (iii) pretends from his skill in or knowledge
of an occult or crafty science to discover where or in what manner anything that is supposed to have been stolen or lost may be found, is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction."
We can also learn from most African countries that apply the same law. Take the case of the Republic of the Ivory Coast, which adopted the French Criminal Code and issued a decree on Nov. 19, 1947 stipulating: "Shall be punished by one to five years of imprisonment whoever has … practiced witchcraft, magic, or charlatanism, susceptible to trouble the public order or to injure persons or damage property" (see Veerle Gijsegem, Criminal Law of French Origin — The Modernity of Witchcraft Trials in the Republic of the Ivory Coast, 2006).
Furthermore, it is interesting to take the case of how the prosecution process of witchcraft-related crime in African countries is carried out. It is reported that such prosecution rests solely on the judge's interpretation of the enacted law, and judgments are therefore issued based on the faith and beliefs of judges. This approach is taken simply because of the absence of empirical evidence.
When the judges are asked why they take this kind of approach, they respond to such concerns in an hilarious way: "the judge will look at them [the accused persons] and see if they act like witches, illustrating that acting like a witch entailed behaving 'strangely' or 'nervously' in court" (Graeme Wood, Witchcraft and the Law in Central African
Republic, 2010).
It is widely acknowledged that the difficulty of bringing a witchcraft case to justice is how to provide proof and evidence. Indeed, this is the most challenging task that needs to be tackled by experts and lawmakers during the legislation process of the proposed bill.
The writer is an anthropologist by training, who obtained a PhD degree with his doctoral thesis titled Political Power, Corruption and Witchcraft in Modern Indonesia from the University of Sussex, the United Kingdom.

RUSH: You remember when Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize on the come? I don't want to add to the promotional fanfare of this, but there's a new kid that just got a TV show on MSNBC. He's been doing the show for three days. He's a daughter of Mia Farrow and somebody. It's not known if it's Frank Sinatra or Woody Allen. This kid had been on television for three days.
Wednesday night he got the Cronkite Award for excellence in Exploration and Journalism. (laughing) I mean, these people are so eager... You talk about people that are corrupting their own institutions, in addition to ours? A kid who doesn't shave yet, it looks like, is on the air for three days, and gets the Cronkite award. Can you imagine...? Well, Cronkite, hell, he'd probably support it.
So much that the Democrats are doing is on the come.
RUSH: A kid three days on TV gets the Walter Cronkite Award for Exploration and Journalism -- three days! -- all because he might be Frank Sinatra's kid. (interruption)
Well, they sure as hell aren't giving him an award because he might be Woody Allen's. The kid can barely spell "TelePrompTer." (interruption) I know he's a Rhodes Scholar and all that, but... I don't even know. Look, again, I'm not criticizing him. Good for him, if he can get... Well, I don't know it's good for anybody being hired by MSNBC, but, I mean, the guy wants to be on TV, found a job, good for him.
I'm talking about the liberals. What are they doing when they give an award to someone with no experience? What was Nobel doing giving Obama a peace prize when he hadn't done anything yet? They were giving him an award on the come. They were falling for PR. They were advancing the agenda. What does it say about the Cronkite award if anybody on TV for three days reading a prompter can win it?
And, by the way, if you happen to be Mika Brzezinski or if you happen to be Rachel Maddow -- if you happen to be somebody who has been working at MSNBC for 15 years in the basement -- and here comes the kid getting the award after three days, how do you feel? You probably think, "Good, good, this is advancing the cause. This is good for the agenda." (interruption) I know, the blue eyes. Just look at the a picture and you understand why this is happening, do you not?

An early departure from the hotel with your Tour Director at approximately 7.15am, and drive to the designated port for embarkation on today's cruise of the Saronic Gulf. Departing at 8.00 am, begin sailing towards the island of Hydra, located approximately 37 nautical miles from the southern mainland. You will notice that donkeys are used for transportation on this small island as cars, by law, are prohibited. On Hydra you will stay approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes allowing for a walk around the shops along the quay or a swim in the Aegean Sea. Departing Hydra, en-route to the island of Poros, a Greek style buffet lunch is served with many of the local traditional foods including Greek salad, stuffed vine leaves, fish roe salad, beans, beetroot, tzatziki, local cheeses, and main courses with fish, beef, pork, chicken or vegetables are served. The island of Poros, 31 nautical miles from Piraeus and with only a 200 meter wide stretch of sea separating it from the town of Galatas on the mainland, is a popular weekend destination for Athenian travelers. The cruise remains on Poros for approximately 1 hour before departing for your final destination, the island of Aegina. The island of Aegina with a population of 13,550 is the largest of the 3 islands visited today. The ship remains at the port for approximately 2 hours allowing time for shopping, swimming or sightseeing. Even though an extinct volcano substitutes for 2/3's of the island, Aegina is well known for cultivating pistachio nuts and exporting worldwide. Estimated time of return to the port after todays cruise is approximately 7:30 pm.
Approximate value: 90 EUR per person
Escorted by your Tour Director, depart from your hotel and make your way along the harbor front until you reach the port of the Caique boats. Here you will be welcomed on-board by the Captain and taken to the island of Bourtzi which is located approximately 450m from shore. You will have time to explore the Bourtzi Fortress, built to provide protection to the town of Nafplio mainly against pirates. After the Greek War of Independence of 1821, where the fortress was active in defending the town against the Turks, the next few unsettled decades saw the fortress occasionally housing government officials in need of a secure and protected environment. In 1865 the fortress became the permanent residence for the town's executioners, and finally from 1930 to 1970 The Bourtzi Fortress was used as a Hotel. After approximately 30 minutes to explore the small island of Bourtzi, return to the port with the local Caique and after a short 5 minute walk to a nearby Taverna, you can enjoy a traditional 3 course meal listening to the bouzouki player entertain with traditional Greek tunes. The meal starts with "Gemista" which is an oven baked tomato, stuffed with rice, onion, garlic, and a combination of herbs. For the main course you can choose between oven baked lamb on the bone or chicken breasts served with potatoes cooked with olive oil and oregano, accompanied by a traditional greek salad with tomatoes, cucumber, onion, feta cheese and olives. Finally for desert a traditional baked semolina dish called Ravani is served with ice cream. You will also enjoy the local red or white barrel wine or soft drinks. After your meal allow for some free time to leisurely walk amongst the narrow "Venetian" streets enjoying the tall houses, decorative squares and colorful shops. Estimated time of return to your hotel is approximately 10 pm.

The tour today begins with your tour director escorting your group from the hotel to the Archaeological site of Olympia where you will meet your local Greek guide at the entrance to the site. Considered today as being one of the most interesting and educational sites you will find throughout the Peloponnese, Olympia is mostly famous for being the venue of the Ancient Olympic Games and home to the Olympic flame. Today you will see the remains of a gymnasium, ancient temples, the stadium, housing structures, and just outside the site, the archaeological museum hosting findings from the ancient site and from other excavations in the surrounding areas with well labeled exhibits including the famous statue of Hermes of Praxiteles and Nike Paionios. The games held in Olympia, were actual athletic events with a religious element as they were dedicated to the god Zeus. The Temple of Zeus, located close to the stadium, was built in the 5th century BC by a local architect and made of limestone and marble. Historical records narrate that a giant statue of Zeus was found inside the temple made of ivory and gold. The site of Olympia also houses one of the oldest temples in Greece, The Temple of Hera. This was constructed in the 7th century BC and is the alter where the Olympic Flame is lit for todays modern Olympic games. As did the ancient Olympians, you can enter the Stadium through the archway and run on the ancient track stretching just over 200 meters.

Enjoy this typically Greek dinner outing in this very nice restaurant with wonderful views of the valley with the olive trees. Taste delicious appetizers while you are given a presentation of the wine industry and production in Greece. Later enjoy a Greek style three-course meal with free flowing wine.
The sightseeing tour today begins with your Tour Director escorting you to the entrance of the Archaelogical site of Delphi where you will meet and continue with a local guide. Located on top of a hill overlooking a valley blanketed with olive trees, Delphi is among the most popular ancient sites in Greece. During the 8th century B.C. Delphi became internationally known as the "naval" or center of the earth, considered to be the holiest of all holy sites. The reason being the powers of Pythia, the priestess and Oracle of Delphi. The Oracle could supposedly tell the future. Sitting on a tripod inhaling ethylene gases in a state of hypnotic trance and muttering words incomprehensible to mere mortals, holy priests were needed to interpret her visions into a common language and deliver the prophecy to whoever was requesting it. For this reason no major decision was made without consulting the Oracle of Delphi first. While visiting Delphi you will see the Temple of Apollo which housed the oracle, the various treasuries holding the offerings made to the god Apollo and the Oracle, the stoa of the Athenians where trophies were displayed from their sea battles, the ancient theatre, the grand alter, the Naval of the Earth stone, the marketplace, statues, ceramics and many artifacts from excavations at Delphi. You will also have time to visit the archaeological museum close to the site and finally, walking downhill, to see the Sanctuary of Athena Pronea consisting of several altars, temples, two treasuries and the Tholos, a round construction rather unusual for the ancient Greek architecture.

It was a showdown of sorts on Seventh Street a few weeks ago. Carolyn Barr stood in the front yard of the dilapidated Obrecht House, barring city officials from looking inside.
Her attorney had already said the News couldn't go inside. Though disappointed, we acknowledged the house is private property. City employees, among them the police chief, had no warrant so they milled around a little and went back to City Hall for their meeting on what to do with Barr and her home.
A dollar is a dollar and most of us avoid wasting even one. But shame on those who swindle the city out of a trash tag just to save a buck.
As we've reported several times over the past year or two, the city faces a growing problem of people who either refuse to tag their trash bags or who cut tags in half, then try to finagle the tags so it appears there is a full tag on the bag.
The city catches violators and charges them the full buck. We'd suggest a fine.

For me, this week's Schweizer Fest is a lot like some holidays. There is plenty of extra work, so much in fact that finding time to enjoy the actual festivities can be a challenge.
The weeks before Schweizer Fest have our staff working on the combined program guide and Zeitung. It was included in the paper a couple of weeks ago. We also publish a pre-Schweizer Fest sample edition. That's the issue you're holding now.
The Tell City Historical Society was among the first Heritage Support Grant award winners made available through the Indiana Historical Society. The Tell City Historical Society will be making repairs to the exterior and roof of the current Carnegie Library building.
The society was awarded $19,115.
The Tell City Historical Society is also fundraising for a required local match and interior water damage repairs and to continue the energy efficiency updates to the original part of the building.
Jeff Thomas, in "The Blind Leading the Clueless," thoughtfully assessed the dilemma the American people face. I highly recommend patriots read and digest his article's perspective which can be found at www.internationalman.com/articles/the-blind-leading-the-clueles.

Visitors will have the opportunity to experience one of the best state fairs yet, as Indiana celebrates its 200th birthday. Our state's history, art, folklore and traditions will be highlighted through new exhibits that display what it means to be a Hoosier, both past and present.

Tonight at Columbia Law School, a debate on Social Security pitted supply-sider Larry Kudlow against The Century Foundation's Greg Anrig.
Most interesting about Anrig's remarks, I thought, was the eery similarity to Paul Krugman's performance at a debate against Michael Tanner (of the Cato Institute) in Manhattan a few weeks ago. Same talking points: It's an insurance program, not welfare, so we musn't quibble about the fact that some people reap fewer in benefits than they contribute. What kind of society would we be if we each went our own way and didn't care about everyone's survival? After all, life in the United States is riskier than ever before.
Risker than ever? That's a hard claim to make with a straight face. Unemployment is negligible. Americans live longer than ever, enjoy more sterile environments (thanks to anti-bacterial soaps, pesticides, and asbestos litigation), and don't worry about starving to death (quite the opposite, for many of us). In fact, we've eliminated so many of the old *risks* that we have time to read magazines that urge us to get enough beta carotene and fiber or else. And don't forget to sleep 8 hours a night.
It's odd to hear a Democrat defend Social Security so, well, defensively -- "it's NOT a welfare program" -- as Krugman did in his debate, and as Anrig did tonight. Oh, so there's a problem with welfare? A problem with means testing, which, I heard an audience member protest tonight, stigmatizes the poor?
We free-marketeers may not win every political debate, but at least we speak frankly about our own position. No mincing of words here.

Bullying the Ratings03/06/2012
Written by Joseph Weiler, NFFTY Intern
Lee Hirsch's documentary Bully has been creating a lot of buzz all around the industry. A significant film that people say could, "save thousands of lives" may very well be inaccessible to those it is trying to reach out to.
Official Synopsis:
Directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, The Bully Project is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of Americas bullying crisis. The Bully Project follows five kids and families over the course of a school year. Stories include two families who have lost children to suicide and a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus. With an intimate glimpse into homes, classrooms, cafeterias and principals offices, the film offers insight into the often cruel world of the lives of bullied children. As teachers, administrators, kids and parents struggle to find answers, The Bully Project examines the dire consequences of bullying through the testimony of strong and courageous youth. Through the power of their stories, the film aims to be a catalyst for change in the way we deal with bullying as parents, teachers, children and society as a whole.
Official Trailer:
Due to multiple instances of foul language the MPAA has ruled that this film should be rated R, thus preventing it from being shown in public schools. This rating ultimately will only stop Hirsch's intentions with making this documentary. How can it reach out to bullied children if it can't reach them at all? The Weinstein Company is not the only ones petitioning for this change in rating. Rev. Jesse Jackson along with 200,000 other petition signers will have their signatures delivered to the MPAA on Wednesday, The Hollywood Reporter states.
The issue is not just that Bully was initially given the rating of R but that it was given R when other films with graphic content also can be given PG – 13. In 2010 a film put out by Warner Bros, The Losers, was given the rating of PG – 13 even though there are multiple graphically violent scenes, several instances of swearing and some sexually charged scenes. This begs the question, which is worse for the younger demographic? Seeing violent and sexual scenes or hearing harsher swear words a few times?
In my own opinion I would rather see films like Bully be justified as rated PG – 13 even though there are such swear words since the message throughout the film is one that is so powerful. The purpose of this documentary is important enough to shine through and since harsh words are a form of bullying it honestly wouldn't be too big of a surprise if most of the children viewing this film had already heard them multiple times.

SustainableBusiness.com News
Sir Richard Branson says that Virgin Atlantic Airways will be running on waste gas-based fuel by 2014.
The fuel is made from recycled industrial gases, which are captured from industrial steel production, and then fermented and chemically converted into jet fuel.
"This technology will enable airlines to dramatically reduce their carbon footprint by reusing gases that would otherwise have been emitted directly into the atmosphere. It promotes sustainable industrial growth, as the process enables manufacturing plants to recycle their waste carbon emissions," says Dr. Jennifer Holmgren, LanzaTech CEO.
If all goes well with current pilots in New Zealand, and in Shanghai later this year, Virgin says it will roll it out worldwide.
One of the development partners, LanzaTech, estimates the process can be used at 65% of the world's steel mills, and it could also be applied to metals processing and chemical industries. That would make the new fuel feasible for worldwide commercial use.
"With oil running out, it is important that new fuel solutions are sustainable, and with the steel industry alone able to deliver over 15 billion gallons of jet fuel annually, the potential is very exciting. This new technology is scalable, sustainable and can be commercially produced at a cost comparable to conventional jet fuel," says Sir Richard Branson, Virgin President.
Further, the technology overcomes the complex land use issues associated with earlier generation biofuels, while cutting lifecycle carbon emissions in half.
Virgin has pledged to reduce the carbon it emits per passenger 30% by 2020. In addition to running on renewable fuels, it's investing in more fuel-efficient aircraft and advocating for a global carbon cap and trade program that includes the aviation industry.
Virgin Atlantic was the first commercial airline to test biofuels - in 2008, it flew from London to Amsterdam on a combination of babassu and coconut oils.
In August, President Obama announced a $510 million public-private partnership to produce advanced drop-in aviation and marine biofuels.
Passenger air travel accounts for about 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Marc Jacobs's 17-Year-Old Fit Model Wants You to Know She Was Fine With Working Those Long Night Shifts [Updated]
"[It] was actually one of the favorite jobs I have had so far."
News broke yesterday that Marc Jacobs again disregarded the CFDA's age guidelines and asked a 17-year-old fit model to work without pay during the late nights leading up to his show last month. Marc Jacobs quickly tweeted a rather blasé response, that "If [models] don't want to work w/ us, they don't have to," and his "looks model" Hailey Hasbrook also responded to the story on Tumblr. She said it's all been overdramatized and misconstrued: "I loved working and doing looks for Marc Jacobs. It was actually one of the favorite jobs I have had so far. Everyone there were absolutely amazing and awesome to work with."
In her post, Hasbrook gave more details about her long shifts:
"It wasn't like I was non-stop trying clothes on for a full 9 hours ... I had many breaks where I could go and lay on the couch, read, or just relax. They took really good care of me there. All I had to do was ask if I needed anything. There was plenty of food and drinks there the entire time. They were all very understanding, flexible, and accommodating.
I enjoyed my time there, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I am not and was not complaining one bit about it at all. I hope that everybody can see and understand that I meant no harm by those posts and that this will help clear everybody's mind of any false beliefs that were put there by Jezebel or any other posts that may have mentioned me in them."
It's a shame that Hasbrook believes the controversy reflects poorly upon her — it doesn't. Nor does it necessarily reflect badly upon Jacobs himself, who may or may not have known Hasbrook's age (or her full schedule). But Hasbrook's bookers would have known she's only 17 years old, as would — most likely — some of the casting team at Jacobs's studio, and they arranged the job regardless.
Hasbrook also says that she "actually preferred to be paid in trade. I love everything that I got, and it was well worth it." If she's in a position in which she doesn't need the cash, that's great (or hey, maybe she's selling the Jacobs merch on eBay). But many of her fellow models need more checks and fewer couture samples in return for their work, and with (it seems) even more modeling jobs being booked for trade instead, that's a problem.
Update: A "well-placed source" tells Jezebel Jacobs paid his spring 2012 fit model $100 p/h for her services. According to the hours Hasbrook says she worked with the Marc Jacobs team on looks, this means she'd have picked up over $2,200 had the rate of pay remained consistent.
