date: 1 October 2008
embargo: 00.01hrs Friday 3 October 2008
The TUC today (Friday) warns that campaigns to end global poverty will fail unless more attention is paid to getting people into decent jobs.
The warning comes ahead of World Day for Decent Work, a global day of action on Tuesday 7 October, when the TUC will be joining 165 million trade unionists around the world to demand 'decent work for decent life' and calling for work to be put centre stage in the campaign against poverty.
In particular, the TUC is calling for:
- trade justice: a boost to world trade by opening global markets to goods from the global south, and pro-development agreements between developed and developing countries;
- an emphasis in environmental policies on creating new, green jobs, with help to protect the livelihoods of workers in other industries;
- more teachers, nurses and other workers to provide decent public services, funded by more aid and debt relief; and
- building equal treatment for people at work - based on core labour standards such as no forced or child labour, no discrimination, and rights to join unions and bargain collectively - into the work of international trade and financial institutions and migration systems.
In a letter to unions and poverty campaigners ahead of World Day for Decent Work, TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said: 'Unless governments, NGOs and unions place a strong focus on work, all we are doing is providing endless charity. What people in the developing world really want is good jobs at good wages. This is the only long-term solution to global poverty.
'Earlier this summer, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) recognised the importance of work, including job creation and employment rights, with its 'decent work agenda'. We want more organisations to make this call a central plank of the campaign to make poverty history.'
The decent work agenda elaborated by the UN's ILO has four pillars - job creation, social security, social dialogue and rights at work. The UN has recognised the role of decent work in delivering the first of its eight Millennium Development Goals. At its international conference this June, the ILO adopted a declaration on 'social justice for a fair globalisation'.
- The TUC will be exploring these issues through a series of workshops in its London headquarters on Tuesday 7 October from 9:30am to 4:30pm (register free online at www.tuc.org.uk/wddw) - other UK events are being planned in Newcastle and Cardiff.

I read that Obama has had something like 800+ executive orders since taking office in 2008 versus 30 something from W in 2 terms. That's pretty incredible.

The reality is that there should be NO parties. Every man for himself, I say.
When you start adhering to an overarching political agenda then your own beliefs and values get skewed to meet the masses. It's bogus and it dumbs the average American down.
pretty much summed up the difference between working together and being divided. Thats probably the biggest issue out of everything, even the debt. The debt is something we can fix, IF, we work together. Seems congress will only work together when given a deadline and then its only at the last minute and throwing something together.Quote:
It wasn't too long ago (in the 90's) both sides actively sought a balanced budget. Bush and his 2 years of party control in congress ruined that (aided by war) and took us into the red. Not to be outdone, Obama took us even further, doubling what W did in a mere 4 years.
Now, one side can't spend enough and the other are too chicken shit to stop the spending. NO country has ever taxed and spent their way to prosperity.
We're in deep shit right now, having a debt of over $16 Trillion (with only $15 Trillion in circulation). That bill is going to need to get paid eventually. In the meantime, we better hope nothing serious breaks out in the world and we have to defend ourselves. Right now, we can't afford it. Literally.
There will always be compromise to meet the masses. The problem is the lack of political fidelity. The more people there are, the larger the disconnect between the little guy and his supposed representative, and the easier it is for politicians to act without recourse. That's what happens when you have a country of 300 mill. people. History repeats it's self, power is corrupt.
My take personally, state succession is our only chance. We are getting too diverse and too massive to expect anything to get done within our government anymore. How can we expect politicians to agree and to get things done when they disagree on the most fundamental levels of what the governments job is?
Twitter and FB have been abuzz about a new tax people are just discovering, thanks to Obamacare .....
It's called the "Medical Excise Tax" and people are not happy.
This has been verified by snopes.com as being legit and not some register glitch.
Clothing falls under this definition so that's a national 2.3% tax whenever you have buy some clothing.
One way or the other this country is going to be very different.
A lot of states like Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, and Kansas are, in a sense, setting themselves up for secession. It could absolutely happen.
I worked a couple hours over and was still short of my normal pay. Taxes and health insurance increased. Very discouraging.

the Ryan plan. Boner did get a landmark bill passed cutting the spending. It wasnt in the trillions like the Tea party wanted but in the billions, around $30B which had Pissy Reid pissing in his pants.
We can thank Boner for agreeing to the taxes and all the caving in he did but in fairness he didnt have much choice. The money was falling off the cliff or so they say and why it's call the fiscal cliff deal, so the great compromiser compromised and the DEMs are still pissed because they didn't get higher taxes. The GOP is liberal based now so they caved in on the taxes but at least they kept them down.
The link I posted above says DEMs wanted higher taxes and grand raven would be paying even more than he is now and gonna be paying. Newt's gang would have fought it and don't forget, these are Ws tax cuts that they agreed to stop.
Oh, and this from his web site:
Romney would eliminate Obamacare, a maneuver which was estimated by the CBO to save $1.2 trillion over
ten years,[12] helping to offset some of the tax increases that were used to fund Obamacare.
Guys, Clinton never balanced the budget. What he did was get lucky enough to have the DotCom boom fall into his lap and create an unsustainable growth spurt. The balanced budget myth comes from PROJECTED numbers two decades after Clinton would've left office. That tells us two things: Clinton never had a balanced budget, and our economy is so screwed it'll take at least 20 years of unprecedented growth to fix the damned thing.
As for succession, I am all for it. Give me everything from from Texas east, and Maryland south and we'll create a great country founded on the real ideals of the American Constitution.
P.S. It's not that I want you bunch of yankees in my country, but my favorite football team is up there so y'all can just hitch along for the ride.:thumbup:
Well darb, Charlie Daniels would agree with you. He said the South is gonna do it again-lol.
Fact Checks does not agree with you but they do mention the dot com boom. Clinton's 1994 plan even had some

Dog Thrown Over Bridge
They might be man's best friend, but apparently not everyone feels the same way about them. Police say four boys, none of them old enough to drive, stole five dogs over a three day span from a North Central Florida animal shelter. One of the five dogs won't be coming back.
Lake City Humane Society Executive Director Terry Marques says the kids got into the humane society by peeling back a fence. He says they then got the dogs by lifting up the fencing over their cages. Three of the dogs are now safe, one is unaccounted for, and police say the other one was killed when one of the boys, Malik Drummond, threw it off of a bridge.
"It's not the first time that we've had a break-in, it's not the first time certainly that animals have been taken," said Marques, "it's just the seriousness of this crime causes great alarm in that these were basically children."
Police say a couple went to the Humane Society to adopt a pet and told officials that they had previously seen some kids there after hours. Police followed the lead and say the boys later admitted to the crime.
"I just couldn't imagine taking a small puppy and throwing him over a bridge," said Lake City Police Lt. Joe Moody, "I just couldn't do that. Some people, depending on their upbringing and stuff, it happens."
Marquez says he's trying to raise funds for an upgraded security system at the Humane Society.

From Neurons to Neighborhoods, the National Research Council's recent major report on factors that influence child development, articulates seven inter-related social, economic and political challenges facing those who care for children, whether at the level of families or the level of public policy. Among these is the "devolution of some important responsibilities for the implementation of child and family policies to the state and local levels." Title V of the Social Security Act (beginning with its predecessor, the Sheppard-Towner Act) represents the fundamental federal role in maternal and child health programs and through the years Title V has reflected the swinging of the pendulum between state and federal roles. While the MCH Services provide core funding for infrastructure, population-based services, enabling services, and gap filling for clinical and other services that may not be readily available, the capacity of MCH agencies or programs to meet the needs of the population is a function of multiple political and economic characteristics of the states. In the political domain, the structure and capacity of governors' and the legislatures' roles may influence policy. In the economic domain, state domestic product, total taxable resources, per capita personal income, special education spending and other variables may have an impact on allocation decisions. Similarly, in the health domain state-level health insurance coverage, the supply of health care providers and other health system indicators may constrain or advance MCH programs. Given the understandable, but nevertheless disproportionate, impact of services for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (C/YSHCN) on state resources, it is especially important to understand the relationship between state capacity and outcomes for these children and their families. The National Survey of CSHCN provides state level health status process measures to enable analysis of the relationship between state social, political and economic capacity and the health status of C/YSHCN. Using multivariable techniques, the proposed research project will examine contextual factors that affect the capacity of MCH professionals and programs to assure the health of C/YSHCN.

Milwaukee bands get their own stage at SXSW 2014 in Austin, Texas
PHOX frontwoman Monica Martin had one realistic goal for the band's trip to Austin, Texas, last year during the South by Southwest Music Conference and Festival: eat some good tacos.
That happened, but while in Austin, the Madison band also met Christian Greene with Onto Entertainment, who would become its manager. Before the year was done, Greene got PHOX on the Lollapalooza lineup in Chicago and booked an opening gig for the Lumineers at the iTunes Festival in London.
It's that kind of chance encounter that gives SXSW its mystique as the premiere event for music discovery and promotion. It attracts some 2,000 bands for around-the-clock gigs from Tuesday through Sunday, as well as a flood of label reps, booking agents, talent managers, marketers, media types and more.
This year, there will be a greater representation of Wisconsin bands than ever before.
Milwaukee's own 'Home' stage
For the first time, there will be an unofficial Milwaukee showcase in Austin during SXSW. At least 30 local acts will perform Wednesday at the MilwaukeeHome Stage (named after a local apparel company) at a free, 15-hour event less than a half a mile from the Austin Convention Center, the heart of SXSW.
Good Land Records, a 4-year-old local label, will host its own free showcase Saturday with the Milwaukee acts Midnight Reruns and Brett Newski, plus headliner Two Cow Garage from Ohio. For the second year, the Majestic Theatre in Madison, along with First Avenue in Minneapolis and Metro in Chicago, will co-sponsor a show at the downtown Austin club Holy Mountain, with Wisconsin acts including Anna Vogelzang, TUGG and Youngblood Brass Band on the bill.
PHOX, along with Milwaukee bands Vic and Gab and Hugh Bob and The Hustle, will play official SXSW shows, and Wisconsin exports including Grace Weber, Yellow Ostrich and French Horn Rebellion will be officially showcasing as well.
"South by Southwest is the biggest possible festival you can do to get your name out there and actually meet new people," said Jon Phillip, head of production and artists and repertoire for Good Land. "I want to make our name more present and in the forefront of the industry."
Standing out in a crowd
Working together as a unified front, Milwaukee bands playing the MilwaukeeHome Stage stand a greater chance of standing out at SXSW than a lone, little-known act trying to make a splash in an ocean of noise.
Each of the acts will be working their connections to attract people to the showcase, and Jeremy Rogers, a former Milwaukeean now working for a marketing and event production boutique, Hack Studios in Austin, is putting a promotional street team together, said one of the stage's organizers, Jason Burczyk.
Recognizing the expense for artists, the event's chief organizers — including MilwaukeeHome founder Melissa Thornton and John Revord, owner of the Milwaukee music venue Hotel Foster, have been trying to raise enough money to provide each participating act a $200 stipend.
The process for launching the MilwaukeeHome Stage has been met with stress and some shortcomings. The concept itself didn't materialize until last Christmas, when Milwaukee native Ray Nitti, a rapper based in Houston, proposed the idea to Thornton for 2015. But in mid-January, Thornton found out an Austin venue in a prime location was available this spring.
"It's been a year's worth of work in two months," Burczyk said. "I don't think any of us have slept in two weeks."
To offset $19,000 in hard costs — including the venue rental fee, sound equipment, stage hands and food and beverage expenses for the artists — the event organizers launched a fundraising campaign on Indiegogo.com, with a goal of $20,000 in a month's time. Only $4,120 was raised.
However, exposure from the campaign attracted sponsors, which as of deadline had nearly covered all the hard costs. (Land the Big Gig, a talent search competition presented by Tap Milwaukee and Summerfest, is the event's lead sponsor.) And other area businesses have donated time and services for fundraising and event promotion.
But the impact the MilwaukeeHome Stage will have remains to be seen. South by Southwest has become so big that even an ambitious showcase such as the MilwaukeeHome Stage has to compete with Kendrick Lamar at the iTunes Festival and dozens of other corporate-sponsored shows stuffed with buzz bands.
The other two Wisconsin showcases, while less ambitious in scope, are also less costly to produce. The Majestic is splitting costs with two other venues, all of which have strong industry connections to better guarantee a good turnout, said Majestic co-owner Scott Leslie.
Phillip, of Good Land Records, is only spending about $4,000 to $5,000 to produce fliers and promotional compilation CDs. The venue, a bar and restaurant called Freedmen's, is owned by a friend and is being donated for the event. Phillip also has nationally-known acts like Garage and Chicago's Archie Powell & the Exports (featuring Milwaukee natives Nick Junkuncz, Ryan Lynch and Adam Melberth) to help draw people in.
Benefits not guaranteed
Ultimately, given the expense and competition, the benefits for little-known artists to go to SXSW is mixed. What happened to PHOX last year is a relatively rare occurrence, and the band was going into SXSW with some buzz behind it, thanks to its video EP, "Confetti".
"South by Southwest is something that every band with their sights on getting outside, it's a box they have to check," said Christopher Porterfield, frontman for the Milwaukee band Field Report. "In order to grow as a band, you have to play in front of unfamiliar people, and you have to win them over."
But Porterfield is relieved to not be going this year.
"One year we did 12 shows in three days, so it's just a grind," he said. "There's thousands of people, and you have to park the van and unload stuff, and the sound guys are burned out and don't want to be there anymore," Porterfield said. "And the industry folks, they don't go to a showcase to see bands they've never heard....The second time we went, it was thousands of dollars for one room for a week. That's probably still on my credit card."
However, with time, a SXSW event like MilwaukeeHome can help local bands make connections in other markets and even arouse greater attention at home, said Dani Grant, a founder of Spokesbuzz, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting Fort Collins, Colo. as a music destination. She has staged Colorado showcases at SXSW for four years.
"Some of it is a tipping point," Grant said. "You have to do something long enough to get enough ears and eyes and people talking....Give it three to five years to develop."
Despite the challenges, the MilwaukeeHome Stage organizers say they're glad they're starting what they hope will be a recurring, growing event.
"We may not have raised $20,000 on Indiegogo, and it may not be the smoothest operation, but we" (had to start somewhere) said Burczyk's brother Jayk, whose Milwaukee band Jayk will play the MilwaukeeHome Stage.
"If nobody throws the first pebble, there'll never be a ripple."

Rabindranath Tagore Love Quotes and Sayings
2. The greatest distance in this World is not that between living and death, it is when I am just before you, and you don't know that I Love You. (According to a website which I found in Google, it said that this is not the work of Tagore but was translated from a Chinese poem to English. Can anyone verify?)
3. Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.
4. Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it.
5. Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.
6. Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.
7. You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.
8. Those who are near me do not know that you are nearer to me than they are.
Those who speak to me do not know that my heart is full with your unspoken words.
Those who crowd in my path do not know that I am walking alone with you.
Those who love me do not know that their love brings you to my heart.
9. Children are living beings – more living than grown-up people who have built shells of habit around themselves. Therefore it is absolutely necessary for their mental health and development that they should not have mere schools for their lessons, but a world whose guiding spirit is personal love.
10. The biggest changes in a women's nature are brought by love; in man, by ambition.
11. Once we dreamt that we were strangers. We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.
12. Only in love are unity and duality not in conflict.
Excerpt from Wikipedia: Rabindranath Tagore (Bengali: রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর, pronounced [ɾobin̪d̪ɾonat̪ʰ ʈʰakuɾ]) (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941) as per Bengali Calendar, (২৫শে বৈশাখ, ১২৬৮ – ২২শে শ্রাবণ, ১৩৪৮ বঙ্গাব্দ), also known by the sobriquet Gurudev, was a Bengali polymath. He was a poet, visual artist, playwright, novelist, educator, social reformer, nationalist, business-manager and composer whose works reshaped Bengali literature and music in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He became Asia's first Nobel laureate when he won the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature.
Tagore wrote novels, short stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays on political and personal topics. Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora (Fair-Faced), and Ghare-Baire (The Home and the World) are among his best-known works. His verse, short stories, and novels, which often exhibited rhythmic lyricism, colloquial language, meditative naturalism, and philosophical contemplation, received worldwide acclaim. Tagore was also a cultural reformer and polymath who modernised Bengali art by rejecting strictures binding it to classical Indian forms. Two songs from his canon are now the national anthems of Bangladesh and India: the Amar Shonar Bangla and the Jana Gana Mana respectively.

4. Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.
5. Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.
6. When you came you cried and everybody smiled with joy; when you go smile and let the world cry for you.
7. Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
8. Emancipation from the bondage of the soil is no freedom for the tree.
9. Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them.
10. Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.
11. Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.
12. He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good.
13. I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door – or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.
#14 Sādhanā: The Realisation of Life, 1916

16. The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.

#20-26 Stray Birds, 1916
20. If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.
21. Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it.
22. Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.
23. A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
24. Do not say, "It is morning," and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a new-born child that has no name.
25. Clouds come floating into my life from other days no longer to shed rain or usher storm but to give colour to my sunset sky.
26. By plucking her petals you do not gather the beauty of the flower.
27. Great calm, generous detachment, selfless love, disinterested effort: these are what make for success in life. If you can find peace in yourself and can spread comfort around you, you will be happier than an empress.
#28-29 Glimpses of Bengal, 1921
28. It sometimes strikes me how immensely fortunate I am that each day should take its place in my life, either reddened with the rising and setting sun, or refreshingly cool with deep, dark clouds, or blooming like a white flower in the moonlight. What untold wealth!
29. Every person is worthy of an infinite wealth of love — the beauty of his soul knows no limit.

Little Of Me
Let only that little be left of me
whereby I may name thee my all.
Let only that little be left of my will
whereby I may feel thee on every side,
and come to thee in everything,
and offer to thee my love every moment.
Let only that little be left of me
whereby I may never hide thee.
Let only that little of my fetters be left
whereby I am bound with thy will,
and thy purpose is carried out in my life
and that is the fetter of thy love.
Only Thee
That I want thee, only thee – let my heart repeat without end.
All desires that distract me, day and night,
are false and empty to the core.
As the night keeps hidden in its gloom the petition for light,
even thus in the depth of my unconsciousness rings the cry
– 'I want thee, only thee'.
As the storm still seeks its end in peace
when it strikes against peace with all its might,
even thus my rebellion strikes against thy love
and still its cry is
– 'I want thee, only thee'.
Give Me Strength
This is my prayer to thee, my lord—strike,
strike at the root of penury in my heart.
Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows.
Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.
Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might.
Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles.
And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love.

Actor, Pilot, Manager: JAL's Ueki Extends His Repertoire
For a man with so much on his plate, Yoshiharu Ueki smiles a lot.
The 59-year-old former pilot was chosen by Kazuo Inamori, architect of Japan Airlines Co.'s eye-catching turnaround from bankruptcy, to head up the carrier as president once Mr. Inamori retires early next year. With next to no management experience before Mr. Inamori's arrival at JAL at the start of 2010, Mr. Ueki will have to keep the carrier on track through the glare of publicity that will accompany an initial public offering due in September that is expected to be the second-largest in the world this year after that of Facebook Inc.
If he's feeling the pressure, Mr. Ueki's genial mood and disarming frankness easily cloaked it in a recent interview. The son of a traditional Japanese kabuki stage actor and movie star, who appeared on screen alongside his father as a very young child, he joked that it's all in the line of the family business of acting.
But there's a streak of decisiveness and confidence to Mr. Ueki after his 35 years in the cockpit that leave him in no doubt he is equipped to do the job for which Mr. Inamori has groomed him. And the philosophical approach of his mentor has rubbed off on "Ueki-kun" – "Young Ueki" – as Mr. Inamori calls him.
Here are edited excerpts from the interview.
Q. Were you surprised when Mr. Inamori asked you to take the job? Do you know why he asked you?
A. It is hard to say in a single word. I've learned so many things from Mr. Inamori. But the most valuable thing I learned is the courage to stick to your beliefs. I wouldn't have taken this job if I hadn't learned that.
Q. How did you feel when you were assigned the position?
A. I have been working together (with Mr. Inamori) for more than two years. So I had no option to reject it. Still, I thought I shouldn't take it unless I was confident that I could really help the employees. So I had just one question for myself: 'Can I really serve as the company's president for the benefit of its people only?' I asked myself if I could sacrifice my own personal interest or happiness, and take their collective happiness as mine. Then, my answer was, 'Yes, I will.'
Q. When you joined JAL in the 1970s, it was a symbol of national prestige. What would you say to the parents of a young person you're trying to hire now? How can they know their child will have a secure future in two or three years' time?
A. We have announced our midterm business plan for the next five years. I know that if we can meet goals set under the plan, JAL will be a successful company. But the question is. 'Can you really do that? And what's going to happen after Mr. Inamori leaves?' My answer is, 'I'm confident.' The reason is because we have established 80% of the structure we needed. But I wouldn't say I'm confident just because of this. There is no doubt that people's mindset is changing. I see a change in our staff on the shop floor — in their eyes and faces. I can say we can do it because I'm sensing the change.
Q. This is what you're going to tell potential investors at roadshows for the planned initial public offering?
A. I think so. Figures are very important. We are committed to meeting targeted figures. We are spending so much time on educating our employees by focusing particularly on their mindset. It's important to show that we can actually meet targeted figures, or earnings, through this process. We want results. We believe educating people's mindset is the most important thing (in achieving those). We can unite the company in this way, but it will only get stronger if we prove we can hit numerical goals every year.
Q. Where do you get inspiration as a manager? What makes you excited to come to work each day?
A. The past few months, basically that have been tough. And at this moment, honestly speaking, I'm not enjoying this position. But I want to enjoy my role as president, that's my goal. More recently I am beginning to see a bit of light.
Q. Do you ever watch the movies that you appeared in? Do you have copies of them at home?
A. I have a set of the movies at home, but I don't feel like watching them. It's not so much fun. My dad appeared as a lead actor. But when I was a little boy, I saw him only as my dad, not an actor, it was just like my dad was playing in the movie. So it wasn't anything special for me.

Doubts grow over Japan PM's remedy for economy
By Yoko Nishikawa - Analysis
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's next prime minister, Taro Aso, has vowed to revive the flagging economy but his immediate plans are unlikely to give the economy anything more a short-term boost.
Japan's economy is skirting recession due to high energy and raw material prices amid global economic gloom, while its sky high public debt, already 1- times GDP, faces fresh pressure as a wave of baby boomer retirements boost welfare spending.
"As I traveled around the regions, I became even more convinced that the economy was in a recession," Aso told a news conference on Monday after being picked to lead the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, and thus become prime minister.
"People are worried about their post-retirement life and the economy, and they are frustrated with the politics that have been unable to give a solution.... So, solving those problems is the key mandate for me."
He reiterated that Japan's economy should return to nominal growth of around 2-3 percent before the government can focus on fiscal reform. The economy shrank an annualized 3.3 percent in nominal terms in the second quarter.
Economists say Aso's priority on spending and tax cuts could provide a short-term boost to the sluggish economy but they said more important were longer term plans to make Japan more competitive, revamp its fragile social welfare system and raise consumption tax to fund growing costs of the ageing population.
The majority view of economists is that Japan faces only a mild contraction, because firms cleaned up their balance sheets and cut costs after the collapse of an asset bubble in the 1990s.
"I wonder if Japan's economy is really in crisis as he suggests. I think it is only in a cyclical downturn," said Takahide Kiuchi, chief economist at Nomura Securities. Continued...

Amazon Kindle Fire Review Round Up
Brandon Hill

Amazon Kindle Fire
So how does Amazon's Kindle Fire stack up to the competition
Amazon's Kindle Fire
will officially be
released to the public on Tuesday
, but reviews are already in for the 7" media tablet. For those that aren't "in the know", the Kindle Fire uses the
BlackBerry Playbook
reference design; hence its dimensions and specs stick pretty close to that tablet.
That means that the Kindle Fire has a 7" display with a resolution of 1024x600, measures 7.5" x 4.7" x 0.45", and weighs 14.6 ounces. The tablet comes equipped with a 1GHz dual-core processor, 8GB of internal storage (6GB available to the user), Wi-Fi, stereo speakers, and runs Android 2.3 with Amazon's own custom skin running on top.
The Kindle Fire is priced at a low $199.
Tim Stevens,
The Kindle Fire is quite an achievement at $200. It's a perfectly usable tablet that feels good in the hand and has a respectably good looking display up front. Yes, power users will find themselves a little frustrated with what they can and can't do on the thing without access to the Android Market but, in these carefree days of cloud-based apps ruling the world, increasingly all you need is a good browser. That the Fire has.
When stacked up against other popular tablets, the Fire can't compete. Its performance is a occasionally sluggish, its interface often clunky, its storage too slight, its functionality a bit restricted and its 7-inch screen too limiting if you were hoping to convert all your paper magazine subscriptions into the digital ones. Other, bigger tablets do it better -- usually at two or three times the cost.
Joshua Topolsky,
The Verge
If you're thinking about getting the Fire, you have to decide not just whether you want a tablet, but what kind of tablet you want. This isn't an iPad-killer. It has the potential to do lots of things, but there are many things I have yet to see it do, and I wonder if it will get there given the lean software support. It's my impression that Amazon believes that the Fire will be so popular that developers will choose to work on its platform rather than on Google's main trunk of Android, but that's just a theory right now.
Still, there's no question that the Fire is a really terrific tablet for its price. The amount of content you have access to — and the ease of getting to that content — is notable to say the least. The device is decently designed, and the software — while lacking some polish — is still excellent compared to pretty much anything in this range (and that includes the Nook Color).
Sam Biddle,
If you like what Amazon Prime has going on in the kitchen, the Fire is a terrific seat. It's not as powerful or capable as an iPad, but it's also a sliver of the price—and that $200 will let you jack into the Prime catalog (and the rest of your media collection) easily and comfortably. Simply, the Fire is a wonderful IRL compliment to Amazon's digital abundance. It's a terrific, compact little friend, and—is this even saying anything?—the best Android tablet to date.
Sascha Segan,
PC Magazine
It's hard to make the Kindle/Nook decision without reviewing the Nook, but here goes. The Kindle has enough storage—especially with Amazon's Cloud Drive and focus on video streaming—along with better app and media stores and a lower price. I feel safe awarding it our Editors' Choice for small tablets. If the Nook lives up to its promise, it will also be a great tablet, and may get the same rating. But the Kindle Fire will still be a winner, if not the only winner, for this holiday season.
"I want people to see my movies in the best formats possible. For [Paramount] to deny people who have Blu-ray sucks!" -- Movie Director Michael Bay

I'll Have Another's team shows no bitterness
ELMONT, N.Y. – On the day after, the connections of I'll Have Another expressed gratitude for what they did achieve, not remorse for what they didn't.
Trainer Doug O'Neill and jockey Mario Gutierrez were still somber and subdued Saturday, 24 hours after their Triple Crown dreams were dashed when I'll Have Another was found to have a tendon injury that not only forced him out of the Belmont Stakes, but prompted owner J. Paul Reddam to retire the colt.
"It's a little tough, a little sad, but the trainer and the owner are making the decision for the horse's good," Gutierrez said. "He's the one that brought us here, so we try to take care of him. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't even be here."
O'Neill, sounding a bit exhausted, said he felt more disappointed for his employees and staff than himself and said he hoped to be back on the Triple Crown trail as early as next year.
"I've been going through all kinds of different emotions," O'Neill said in a phone interview. "But through the journey I gained a lot of confidence, and I'm hoping to be here every year – in there running against [Wayne] Lukas and [Bob] Baffert."
Gutierrez still had some action at Belmont on Saturday, riding three mounts. He finished last aboard Last Cat in a maiden race; was third aboard Politicallycorrect in the Easy Goer Stakes; and eased Brian, a recent purchase by Reddam, to the finish in the Woody Stephens.
In between, Gutierrez met with the media in the Belmont Park winner's circle about five hours and fifty feet from where he had hoped to be on Saturday.
Six weeks ago, few knew who Gutierrez was before put up two sensational rides on I'll Have Another in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness.
"I'll Have Another has done nothing but make my dreams come true," Guiterrez said, wearing the red and white silks of Ken and Sarah Ramsey, the owners of Politicallycorrect. "It was an unbelievable journey this journey of the Triple Crown . . . I got the Kentucky Derby, I got the Preakness. Those are staying with me for the rest of my life and [I'm] just thankful to I'll Have Another . . . ."
Gutierrez said he never allowed himself to think about winning the Triple Crown before it happened.
"I never thought about the Triple Crown," Gutierrez said. "I take one race at a time. My head was focused on the Belmont Stakes. That's all I was thinking of was the Belmont. If I got to race and win it, then I was going to take everything that came with it."
Gutierrez said he was headed back to Southern California on Sunday and that he would ride be splitting time riding between there and Woodbine.
O'Neill was also headed back to California on Sunday. He told NBC's Bob Costas that he will contest the 45-day suspension handed him by the California Horse Racing Board for one of his horse's having an excess level of total carbon dioxide.
– additional reporting by Jay Privman
People that watch horse racing for the 5 weeks the "BIG TV" gets paid to show it, have no clue on what they are talking about. I hope you keep on betting who they tell you to every year, I love collecting the money from those who bad mouth a sport , a sport which has been on Earth 10 times longer than they have, and will be here 10 times longer after your gone. If ya don't like it don't watch it, but keep your uneducated spew to yourselves.
That wasn't much of a ceremony. I left the room and it was over. Can't hear what Doug or Mario are saying over noise on tube. Again, shame on NY! Nice goin' Gov, ha!
IHA would have clobbered these guys by 10 plus lengths. UR should have destroyed off that trip but he is not that great. to bad IHA didnt get the chance and im sick of hearing about O'neill bein a cheater. they test winners of $5k claimers so do u really think they didnt test IHA in the SA and KY derby and preakness give your head a shake. you wanna see real cheaters look up the likes of dutrow and pletcher. as for matz crying good for him most of u would cry if u won a maiden allowance so whats the problem with that
Please REMEMBER that horse racing is a GAMBLING game. Which means that all other horse matters, issues, decisions always come second to the gambling and money that the track officials either keep, or pay out. The track takeout is NOT the big piece of the pie. Thats just "on the record" money. Racing's big prize is to confuse the public and then keep the greater percentage of race handle. People it is NOT just the takeout they keep.
Gotta lotta miserable folk hanging out on drf.com. Losers.
I hope you people do not sound like this at home or at work. Good grief. Spite, anger and negativity. No wonder you think horse racing is going down the tubes. It is the echo of your own wretchedness.
Gees, most of you guys need to learn how to spell. IHA trainer scratched him because he didn't want to get caught cheating! Are you alright? Michael Matz was crying and you criticize him! Are you alright? IHA and his jockey (another class guy) gave us thrills and hope for a Triple Crown winner. He did what was asked of him and did it well. I would have loved to seen him run that race, but it wasn't to be, so I wish him a great retirement to stud and a long and happy life. We ask these great athletes to trust us, and they do, so let's give them the respect they deserve. As for Michael Matz; I was thrilled for him. He's a good man, a good trainer, and an even better humanitarian. Does anyone remember that burning plane that he went back into, to save three children????? How many of you would have done that? Kudos to Michael and Union Rags. I would be crying too if my horse had just won the test of champions.
Lose the Hat.
You eastern folks sure take the cake, your like a dog on a bone. I watched J. Veiesques on Union Rags and he beat the lights out of Union Rags to barely get the nose in front of Paynter. J Velaquez must have been on drugs, no normal jockey on the west coast would such athing cause they would get set down by the stewards, they have alaw on the westcoast against this.
Sousa: You may be spot on with your picks but you know nothing about O'neill or New York racing based on that post. To Imply that O'neill won the Derby and Preakness because he cheated and only scratched the horse because he would be caught cheating in NY is idiocy. You call into question the Vet (mind you not O'neill's personal vet) and his reputation as well as all others involved in the game. You are drinking too much of Pat Forde's idiot juice.

(alglucosidase alfa) Injectable for Intravenous Infusion
ANAPHYLAXIS, SEVERE ALLERGIC AND IMMUNE MEDIATED REACTIONS and RISK OF CARDIORESPIRATORY FAILURE
Life-threatening anaphylactic, severe allergic and immune mediated reactions have been observed in some patients during MYOZYME® infusions. Therefore, appropriate medical support should be readily available when MYOZYME is administered. [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
Risk of Cardiorespiratory Failure
Patients with compromised cardiac or respiratory function may be at risk for serious acute exacerbation of their cardiac or respiratory compromise due to infusion reactions, and require additional monitoring. [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
MYOZYME (alglucosidase alfa), a lysosomal glycogen-specific enzyme, consists of the human enzyme acid α-glucosidase (GAA), encoded by the most predominant of nine observed haplotypes of this gene. MYOZYME is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a Chinese hamster ovary cell line. The MYOZYME manufacturing process differs from that for LUMIZYME®, resulting in differences in some product attributes. Alglucosidase alfa degrades glycogen by catalyzing the hydrolysis of α-1,4- and α-1,6- glycosidic linkages of lysosomal glycogen.
Alglucosidase alfa is a glycoprotein with a calculated mass of 99,377 daltons for the polypeptide chain, and a total mass of approximately 110 kilo Daltons, including carbohydrates. Alglucosidase alfa has a specific activity of 3 to 5 U/mg (one unit is defined as that amount of activity that results in the hydrolysis of 1 μmole of synthetic substrate per minute under the specified assay conditions). MYOZYME is intended for intravenous infusion. It is supplied as a sterile, nonpyrogenic, white to off-white, lyophilized cake or powder for reconstitution with 10.3 mL
Sterile Water for Injection, USP. Each 50 mg vial contains 52.5 mg alglucosidase alfa, 210 mg mannitol, 0.5 mg polysorbate 80, 9.9 mg sodium phosphate dibasic heptahydrate, 31.2 mg sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate. Following reconstitution as directed, each vial contains 10.5 mL reconstituted solution and a total extractable volume of 10 mL at 5.0 mg/mL alglucosidase alfa. MYOZYME does not contain preservatives; each vial is for single use only.

Iris's admission a courageous step
Iris Robinson was a politician who never shied away from speaking her mind. Her description of homosexuality as an abomination sparked a flurry of outrage but few doubted that her views were sincerely held if not to the liking of most people. There will be much more sympathy for her latest public comments revealing that she is to quit politics because of her battle against mental illness.
Whatever anyone's views of her politics or her public utterances, no-one can deny that she was a very impressive politician. As an MP and MLA for the Strangford area she worked unceasingly for her constituents and was never slow to raise their issues at the highest level. She was also an assiduous member of the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee at Westminster, ensuring that the province's problems got a fair hearing at the heart of Government.
Health issues were of particular interest to her - perhaps not surprisingly with hindsight given her condition and the fact that she has had a number of operations for health problems. By speaking out about her own battle against depression she has raised the profile of an illness often swept under the carpet. People are reluctant to reveal their mental health problems for fear that it may affect their employment or social acceptability.
Yet, as Mrs Robinson points out, one in four of the population struggles with mental illness at one level or another. It is an illness that needs greater recognition and much improved services and facilities. However, with her retirement from public life a potential champion of fellow-sufferers has been lost.
Mrs Robinson has been dogged by criticism in recent times both over her comments on homosexuality and also because of the income earned by her and her husband Peter in their various political roles. Given her condition the criticism must have been very difficult to bear, and most people will wish her well as she tries to regain her health.

Really nice product. Went on smooth and worked great when I was at a lake over the sunny weekend. Unfortunately I have too many products like it in my bathroom already - no need to buy more at this point.4

It was particularly helpful to be able to discuss travel options with Jarvis rather than go round in circles on websites, missing the better deals. A most impressive service.

I wasted some time trying to book good flight timings with a good price on the internet and then I called DialAFlight. Piers searched for me and found me the best deal. What more could I want?

Beware of the bounce house! A new report, published online today in the scientific journal Pediatrics, says inflatable bounce houses can be dangerous. In recent years, the number of injuries from bouncing has skyrocketed. The report says that children should use extreme caution when playing on these devices.
From Bounce to Ouch
Over the past 15 years, the popularity of bounce houses at birthday parties, fairs and other events has grown. Unfortunately, so has the number of children who suffer injuries while playing in bounce houses. In 1995, fewer than 1,000 children visited the emergency room for bounce house accidents. In 2010 there were nearly 11,000 accidents. The study reports that each day in the United States, 30 children are treated in emergency rooms for sprains, cuts, concussions and broken bones from jumping on the inflatable devices. These reported injuries all occurred with children aged 17 and younger. More than a third of the injuries were with children younger than 5. "I was surprised by the number, especially by the rapid increase in the number of injuries," said Dr. Gary Smith of Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
Playing It Safe
The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of children's doctors. Earlier this year, the group spoke out against the use of trampolines at home. Bounce houses, also called moon jumps, are similar to trampolines and present many of the same hazards. On both devices, injuries can occur from rough play, doing flips, and colliding with other jumpers. Bounce houses run the risk of accidentally deflating or collapsing from high winds. To avoid these risks, children should play with jumpers of a similar size and age. The number of people on the inflatable plaything should be limited, and a list of safety tips that are often included with bounce houses should be reviewed before use. In addition, Dr. Smith, in Ohio, says that it makes sense for kids younger than 6 years old to stay out of bounce houses, noting that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that children under the age of 6 should not use full-size trampolines.

The least possible wardrobe expense
We're talking very near nothing:
For nearly half a century, the Muong people of this village in Hoa Binh Province have become accustomed to the image of a naked figure in their community. She is Ms. Dinh Thi Dong, 53, who never wears clothes.
"Never" is a pretty strong word, don't you think? But she's not entirely insane:
Although Dong does not wear clothes, her life remains normal. Every day, she goes to work like everyone else in the village. She goes to the field to plant rice and cassava and to the river to catch fish.
Mr. Dinh Van Tan, the village chief said: "Many times I saw her going into the forest to pick firewood with clothes in her basket. She'd put them on before climbing up a tree. After gathering firewood, she'd take off the clothes again and return them to her basket. She said she wore clothes to climb trees to avoid being scratched."
This, I understand all too well.
Oh, the weather? Not a factor, apparently:
Dong's village is situated in the Da Bac District's Tien Phong Commune. To meet with her, reporters had to scale dozens of steep, slippery slopes.
Mr. Khanh, the guide, explained that, even when it's very cold, with temperatures down to 9-10 degrees Celsius, Dong does not wear anything.
Oh, come on. Ten degrees Celsius 50° Fahrenheit is not all that cold.

According to data published on Net Temps, a job search site, seven out of ten employees feel their pay is not linked to their performance. Most employees feel their work excels above the average worker, and that they are not adequately paid compared to other employees. Of course mathematically, it is impossible for every employee to perform above average, there must be a distribution, with types of employees ranging from the sub-par to exceptional.
Pay has a large impact on your performance and job satisfaction. The University of Rhode Island, in its evaluation of job satisfaction, discusses pay as part of a reward inducement system. You develop certain presumptions regarding pay and when you feel your compensation matches your value, you generally feel satisfied in that regard. Of course, several other factors — like feedback, interoffice communication, and the nature of daily operations — play into your job satisfaction and performance as well. But pay is a prime motivator.
Having wind of this, many employers ask about salary expectations prior to hiring for a position. In spite of the salary expectation question that comes at some point during most interviews, an AOL report indicates 50% of workers reported they were underpaid in 2013. Perhaps this is due to pay cuts, insufficient or infrequent salary increases, or a workers simply being under-informed about the job's requirements or rewards.
Whatever the reason, with so many workers in seemingly in the same boat, how can you tell if your pay is not at the level it should be? Here are a few ways.

This Week: Injustice in Missouri, Emotion and 'The Giver'
If you watch the news in this town and our towns across the country, you're bound to have been saddened, bewildered and not a little agitated over the furor and fury that has erupted in Ferguson, Missouri, where an unarmed young black man was shot by a white police officer. This horrible, tragic event was followed by demonstrations, clashes between the police and demonstrators as well as looters, fire and tear gas in the night almost every night, in ways that we have seen before throughout our troubled and often violent racial history.
Nothing has really been settled yet. Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis with a predominantly black population and an overwhelmingly white police force, remains a cauldron of outrage, uncertainty, seething and explosive emotions, and conflicting and confusing accounts of what actually happened. The local police—heavily armed with high tech, military-style weapons—along side the county police and the highway patrol, and soon to be joined by the National Guard—have repeatedly clashed with demonstrators, many of whom have protested with their arms held high in the traditional "don't-shoot" stance. The FBI is investigating the shooting and everything surrounding it. A video showing of the shooting victim, Michael Brown, and a friend allegedly stealing boxes of cigars from a convenience star was released several days later by the Ferguson sheriff's department to outrage in the community. There have been at least two autopsies done on Brown's body. The officer who shot Brown has been identified. The parents of Brown are demanding the arrest of the officer.
Ferguson has become a flash point for anger, another reminder that the racial divide in America appears in this case as wide and deep as ever. The situation was not new. The volatility of relations between the police force and the residents of Ferguson bubbled over with the shooting, but it's also a part of a process which we have seen locally when Prince Georges County became a majority black county, even as the police force remained predominantly white. The same was true for Washington, D.C., in the wake of the coming of home rule until Marion Barry became mayor.
The echo of some of the imagery we've seen—the protesters in the streets, the heavily armed police force, acting very much like a military force, and the presence of familiar civil rights leaders like the Rev. Al Sharpton, who said, "Ferguson is the defining moment today in America"—reminded people of other times and other places—the shooting of Trevon Martin and Selma, to some.
Ferguson was a news story that became something way beyond itself. It was a reference story to the ongoing, often violent saga of race relations in this country and delivered its quota of tragedy, metaphors and memories.
Other things happened, of course. Ukraine remained a tinderbox, deaths from Ebola remained on the rise in West Africa, the truce in Gaza appeared to be holding amid the ruins and great tension. The United States -- in a limited, but effective, way -- helped slow the momentum of ISIS in Iraq with fighter and drone attacks.
We caught up with an old movie, "Dead Poet's Society," Peter Weir's elegiac, lovely piece about the price of non-conformity at a 1950s prep school, where actor Robin Williams presided over and inspired a group of young students with "Carpe Diem." It was a quiet, touching movie, every bit as memorable as Williams's more manic efforts or the creepy "One Hour Photo." It was also emblematic of the gifts of Weir, who gave us "Witness" and "The Year of Living Dangerously." Williams's suicide Aug. 11 and its manner touched cinematic tribal memories for anyone who watched television, laughed out loud often or went to the movies. It became a loss, like that of some never-forgotten friend from a distant land.
We also saw the new movie, based on a classic old tome of a novel: Lois Lowry's 1993 novel for young people, "The Giver," a book that found its way into many middle-school and high school curriculums as a thought-provoking work that let youngsters think about the kind of world which was best to live in.
Many years in the making—which, for what it was, did a respectable $12.8 million at the box office this weekend—it was an approximation of the book (which I gulped down over the weekend). It seemed almost hip and trendy in the sense that it caught the tail wind of two other movie version of teen books about heroes and heroines in a dystopian world, "The Hunger Games" and "Divergent," helping to make the word "dystopian" very cool itself.
"The Giver"—which was helped into existence by the persistence of actor Jeff Bridges who has the title role—is about a world and a society, which has survived an unexplained catastrophe, called the ruins. In this brave new world, there are no emotions. There is nothing called death except the euphemistic "release" of the elderly and rule breakers. There is no music, no colors and no books. There is no conflict, racial or otherwise. There's no unemployment, no war, no starvation, no unnecessary excitement, no love or hate. It's all controlled by a ruling class, called the elders, and every one in it knows their place.
There is also the giver, the one person who holds all the memories of events, feelings, feelings, creativity and such that existed. He is there as a kind of wise man in waiting, who has the answers for any questions that might come up. In this society, everyone is given an assignment—and young Jonas, age 16 (he's 12 in the book), is about to get his. He will become the new giver, a process by which the Giver himself fills him with all the memories that he has inside him.
Jonas soon s finds himself in conflict with the "community," his family and his friends, not to mention a watchful head elder, played by Meryl Streep in the film.
This is, of course, a movie and it must have its heroics and action, but it is also a highly affecting work. I'm not sure why but the daily lives of Jonas, his family and friends and his adventures are a potent emotional brew.
We left the theater in Georgetown and wandered by the water fountain at Percy Plaza in Georgetown Waterfront Park, past the new restaurants at Washington Harbour. We saw the birds of the river and the family of man, chaotic, warm, energetic, enjoy the day and seizing it for its quality of gentleness and sunshine, the citizens of this town and our town, enjoying the fruits of whatever labor there is. I would not have been surprised to see a spry Walt Whitman singing the multitudes.
There were as yet no signs of ruins, only a pirate ship and two impressively sized yachts and dogs at play—these everyday things, far from Ferguson for now.
