The debate over public sector unions has been lacking in economic arguments, and the justifications argued on unions behalf have not been of the kind one usually finds in these debates among labor economists. The two main economic arguments for unions are to provide workers with voice, and to counteract monoposonies. My main concern here is the latter, but I'll briefly address both with regard to teachers unions in particular.
With respect to the voice function of unions, a standard reply of labor economists is that the National Labor Reform Act should be changed to allow more non-union types of voice. For instance, the act prevents firms from supporting any type of labor organization. That means a firm is unable to organize a non-union way for workers to voice complaints, settle disputes, negotiate over working conditions. As Barry Hirsch argues, these parts of the NLRA, while not without legitimate purposes, "restrict development of nonunion vehicles for employer-employee, cooperation and productivity-enhancing voice." Canada, in contrast, does not bar employer-initiated or supported labor groups. And every progressive loves Canada, right?
The second economic argument for unions is to help counteract the power of monopsonies. In the public sector, this is certainly a plausible complaint. Given that governments are often the only ones providing some services, they may have large degrees of labor market power, also called oligopsony power. While few may be explicitly making this economic argument, the common concerns about teacher powerlessness in the face of fickle administrators certainly reflects this problem. In a well-functioning and competitive market, administrators would face repercussions for firing good teachers. For one thing, parents would be upset, and competitive enterprises suffer consequences when customers are unhappy. In addition, competitive labor markets would mean teachers would demand a risk premium to work at firms where they could be fired for political or illegitmate reasons. When there is no competitive check on a school, neither of these repercussions is as important.
Thus if we are concerned about the oligopsony power of schools, and we want teachers to be treated as other comparable professionals are treated, then one possible solution is to make schools more competitive by allowing more school choice, either through charters, vouchers, or simple choice among public schools. This way, if an administrator has a reputation for firing good teachers, there are consequences. This will not prevent unjust firings from happening ever, as no system could, but it will make it less likely. After all, we don't worry too much that about good accountants getting fired, do we?
On the other hand, the lack of competition for government, and schools in particular, also provides the opportunity to earn so-called economic rents just as lack of competition does in the private sector. These rents may be shared in an organization among administrators and teachers, meaning that less competition means higher pay for teachers. So while more competition can mean more labor market power relative to administration, it may also theoretically mean lower pay.
In order to shed some empirical light on this issue, a recent paper (I can't find an ungated version) by Lori Taylor at Texas A&M looked at teacher pay in Texas. Importantly, Texas is a right-to-work state so collective bargaining does not confound her analysis. What she found was that in a handful of very uncompetitive markets, teacher salaries actually would decrease as a result of more competition, meaning that they were sharing in some of the economic rents. In most markets however, oligopsony power meant that increasing competition among schools would actually increase teacher salaries. Here is how Taylor summarizes her results:
More than 88% of the teachers with less than 20 yr of experience would benefit from increased competition. Seventy-nine percent of the highly experienced teachers would also benefit. Only 2% of beginning teachers, 5% of experienced teachers, and 6% of highly experienced teachers could expect increased competition to lower their pay.Profits and Rent-Sharing.
To provide one example, she highlights the Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio areas, home to more than 70% of the charter schools in Texas. Prior to the existence of these charter schools, a 1% increase in competition would increase teacher salaries by 2.5%. Given these increases in salaries, it seems likely that non-wage power of teachers is increased as well, meaning it's harder to fire a good teacher for bad reasons.
Despite the theoretical ambiguities discussed above, these really are common sense results: the more labor market opportunities you have, the less power your bosses have over you, and the more competition there will be to hire the best teachers. The only place this isn't going to be the case is areas where teachers are earning rents and schools are very uncompetitive. In these areas teachers are already likely to be overpaid, and the other benefits from competition, like better student outcomes, are likely to be the greatest. Long story short: more competition helps the teachers who need it.

A nitric oxide supplement that promises lean and strong results.Top Rated Diets of 2017
Most diet supplements are designed for women. But the supplement MuscleXEdge is designed to support lean muscle development in men.
Muscle X Edge is known for its continuous release formula which ensures the body absorbs the maximum nutrients.
Arginine Alpha-ketogulutrate is released into the blood stream aiding in nitric oxide production. Enhancing nitric oxide gives you an extended and intensified "PUMP" before and after your workout.
MuscleXEdge contains a premium L-Arginine blend of amino acids and herbal ingredients that increase the nitric oxide (NO2) levels in your blood stream. As a result, more oxygen is getting to your muscles to increase the overall effectiveness of your pumps and maximize muscle growth.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
- Designed for men
- May help to promote lean muscle development
- May cause side effects
- Lean muscle mass has never safely nor effectively come in a bottle
- Automatically enrolls user in monthly auto shipment program after signing up for trial offer
MuscleXEdge contains arginine, OKG, A-KIC and GKG.ADMINISTRATION
The user should follow the dosage instructions on the bottle's Label and not exceed them.DIET & EXERCISE
There is no diet or exercise plan provided.CONCLUSION
MuscleXEdge is a diet supplement for men that claims to help build lean muscles. Its supposed magic comes from its use of arginine and other key amino acids that are precursors to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is associated with muscle development because it provides the energy necessary for key nutrients, that play a vital role in muscle development in cells to communicate with one another.
While MuscleXEdge may help to inspire a guy to workout more, it will not result in a six-pack set of abs or rock-hard biceps without the implementation of a diet and fitness program. And it may do so with side effect as well. Be aware also that once you sign up for the trial offer, you are automatically enrolled in the program's auto shipment program.Common Misspellings

This is a scam. You should NOT place it on the list of diets to follow, it makes you, Diets in Review, an accomplice of these scammers.
Remove this scam from your site or be forever known as participant to this scam.
I was just about to have them send me my "FREE" trial and I was reading through the fine print and came across the cancellation number. I called the number to see what the process would be and the number on the website wasnt even a working number! SCAM SCAM SCAM! Try it for yourself
I didnt' like it as a pre-workout. Then, when I called to avoid being charged and return it, I was told that I would have to pay a $10 restocking fee, or $.77 per pill if more than 45 pills were used. I was fortunate to have felt and seen no results before using it longer than 4 days.
I would not recommend this, even as the "pay shipping only" trial, because i am going to end up paying nearly $20 for a sub-par product (initial $4.95, $10 restocking, estimated $4-5 to return it)
How do i quit the free trial so that i won't be charged with the full amount
First I will mention the good. The 3rd party company that answers the phone when you have an issue with the product, is very helpful. Needless to say, they can only do what they are authorized to do. They will do what they can to get you a refund and stop any future shipments, however, they cannot stop shipments that are very close to the recurring shipment date. That's how Muscle X Edge got me. I placed an order for a "free" trial. It only cost me $4.95 for S&H. I did not receive the "trial" product for well over 30 days after initially ordering. When I received this product, I checked my bank statements for a recurring charge, but there wasn't any. So...I forgot all about it. At the first glance at the ingredients, I knew this product was garbage. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT SUPPLEMENTING. This product is about as effective as an energy drink without the sugar. I feel this company ripped me off because they did not send me the "trial" product in the time frame that would have allowed me to opt out of the recurring charges in time. Furthermore, this product makes FALSE CLAIMS. There is NO WAY this product will even assist in the results claimed by the adds. BUYERS BEWARE.

Afro beat singer, Erick Senderi has urged fellow artists to put into consideration recording songs revealing Rwanda's tortured history of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.
The singer hails commemoration songs for helping in uniting the nation and educating Rwandan youth about the tragic history.
"Commemoration songs are healing, and they inspire hope among Rwandans, about a better future, one without differences," says Senderi.
Senderi says many young artists are still reluctant about recording songs on Rwanda's history.
The singer recently premiered a new video, for his song about the genocide dubbed Baruhukiye Inyanza, He plans to stage various shows around the country during the commemoration period.
Every year on, 7th, April, Rwanda starts the commemoration period to remember the more than one million Tutsi who were killed in the 1994 Genocide, in a period of 100 days.
The former APR freedom fighter Senderi composed over forty songs about Rwanda's history, before and after the 1994 genocide.

LGBT Adult Lifespan Development: Counseling, Targeted Task Group Through developmental stages of young adult, midlife adult, and older adult, this TTG will explore the diversity within each stage of the LGBT population. With a lens of intersectionality, aspects of the group such as identity/multiple identities; culture and minority status; physical ability; and gender for example, will be examined. Counseling needs can be specific for the LGBT group; this TTG will examine risk factors in various counseling settings, and demographics create the need for counseling, advising, and mentoring strategies built on self-awareness, empathy and skills/knowledge. The culmination will be the creation of a training guide on the intersectionality of counseling LGBT adults within a lifespan perspective, which will be used initially at an ACA Training Conference/Institute called ILLUMINATE! on the same topic. LGBT Adult Lifespan Development: Counseling TTG Roster
ACA members meet with Representative Steve Womak (R-AR) during ACA's 2013 Institute for Leadership Training "Day on the Hill."
Counseling leaders from around the country visited Capitol Hill on Thursday, July 25, where they lobbied for important legislation.
Participants were dropped off in front of the Capitol building where they posed for a photo on the Capitol's historic steps before heading off to meetings with members of Congress. The first stops were the Russell, Dirksen, and Hart Senate Office Buildings, where participants had in-person meetings with their respective senators. After that, the group made its way to the Cannon, Longworth, and Rayburn House Office Buildings to meet with representatives.
During these face-to-face meetings with members of Congress and their staff, Day on the Hill participants discussed three specific policy initiatives (as well as an existing piece of legislation) that would benefit both professional counselors and Americans with mental health needs:

Fast Break: Paul Pierce, Celtics ground Hawks in overtime
|03.08.13 at 10:50 pm ET
The over-35 crew of Paul Pierce (27 points), Jason Terry (19) and Kevin Garnett (17) combined for 63 points, 19 rebounds and 14 assists, leading the Celtics to their fifth straight win — 107-102 over the Hawks in overtime — and helped the C's keep pace with the Bulls in the Eastern Conference seeding race.
Piercing hot: In the first quarter, Pierce made his first four buckets, including two 3-pointers, to finish with 12 points in the opening 12 minutes. Of course, he missed his easiest shot of the frame — a layup as time expired — but his shooting set the tone for the C's 28-point quarter. Garnett and Avery Bradley also started a combined 4-of-6.
And more Pierce: The captain dropped back-to-back 18-foot jumpers late in the fourth quarter to keep pace with a furious Atlanta comeback. In overtime, he drained a 27-footer with a hand in his face to regain the lead with 1:37 remaining. And he assisted on Terry's 3 that gave the C's a 105-102 lead a minute later. Basically, he did it all.
Board to death: The Hawks started big against the Celtics with Josh Smith, Al Horford and Johan Petro in the frontcourt. While Horford and Smith combined for 20 points, 9 rebounds and six assists in the first half, the Celtics owned a 19-16 rebounding edge, didn't allow a single second-chance point and took a 52-47 lead into halftime. That margin got flipped on its heels in the second half, when the Hawks made their comeback, and the Hawks star tandem totaled 54 points, 21 boards and 14 assists to give Atlanta a 41-35 rebounding edge.
KG being KG: Regardless of which lineup Celtics coach Doc Rivers pieced around Garnett, the C's center made the most of his 35 minutes. He started 7-of-11 from the field — including a 3 in a second straight game that even got him excited — to go along with his eight boards and two dimes. When the Hawks cut the lead to two starting the fourth quarter, Garnett seemingly had a hand in every play, including a beautiful assist to a cutting Courtney Lee and a driving baby hook over Horford that pushed the lead back to 12.
Fa-Teague: Just 24 seconds after Jordan Crawford checked into the game, Jeff Teague drained a wide open 3-pointer. The Hawks guard totaled 12 points and five assists in the first half, and that didn't even reflect the number of open looks he had — a big reason Atlanta only trailed by five at the half despite the C's 59 percent shooting.
Sloppy sets: The Celtics committed nine first-half turnovers, but they fumbled about twice as many passes, which left them struggling to get into an offensive rhythm during stretches. Luckily, the Hawks scored just seven points off those errors and their porous defense more than made up for the butterfingers the C's must've eaten pregame.
Green with envy: After scoring the game-winner against the Pacers on Wednesday and deservedly receiving heaps of praise for his recent play, Jeff Green didn't pack the aggressive punch he's so often displayed the past two months. The athletic forward started just 2-of-7 and grabbed only two rebounds in 19 minutes through three quarters. A fourth-quarter reverse dunk and overtime triple helped make up for an otherwise off night for Green.
Too comfortable: A Terry jumper pushed the Celtics lead to 90-81 with 4:28 remaining, but a Kyle Korver 3 capped an 11-2 Hawks run over the next three minutes that tied the game at 92-92. After trading buckets, Smith gifted the C's a chance to end the game with the shot clock off, but Kevin Garnett missed a jump shot and left 1.8 seconds remaining. Thankfully, Smith bricked his game-winning attempt, too, and thus the extra period.

I received a call from an aquaintance yesterday who said he had just discovered a swarm of bees in a bush in his front yard. They must have set up shop earlier in the spring because they now have built a comb larger than two dinner plates and apparently have some honey stores also. The guy is concerned that the bees won't survive the winter and wondered if I could use them. I don't have any hardware, and it might take several days to get some from a supplier. However, if starting a new hive this time of year is a bad idea, I might pass up the opportunity. I assume if I do start a new hive, I will have to do alot of feeding of sugar water and pollen. What does everyone think?

Tomas Kaberle brings Stanley Cup to Czech Republic
|07.20.11 at 3:42 pm ET
When David Krejci and his Bruins teammates arrived in the Czech Republic to begin what would end up being a championship season, the best he could offer was taking fellow players out for goulash. As the video below shows, what he and Tomas Kaberle have brought this time is a bit shinier, and contains far less calories.
(On that first video, what is that at 0:35? Did the Winnipeg Jets make a draft pick on this trip?)
The Cup is on its European swing now, with Kaberle up first. Krejci will have his day on Thursday, with captain Zdeno Chara getting two days with the trophy on Friday and Saturday. Tuukka Rask will have it Sunday and Monday before it heads back to North America.
As Bruins PR man Eric Tosi tweeted, the defenseman signed autographs and took pictures with fans for over five hours and didn't stop until all who showed up were accomodated. That's hardly surprising that Kaberle would do such a thing, as his kindness was not on the list of things in question during his time in Boston.

I'm installing a Spal power window kit in my ZX3. I need to grab power and fuse it, but I thought it would be cool if I could actually grab the power from the fuse panel and use the factory power window fuse spot since it's empty.
Is this possible or too difficult? I can see couple screws and clips holding in the fuse panel, but I'm thinking if I manage to dislodge it there might be a whole chunk of wires back there preventing me from turning it around to work on.

Sprinkle the steak strips with House Seasoning to light cover them, and then dust with flour. In a large skillet, quickly brown them on both sides in the olive oil and butter. Remove the steak from the pan. Add the onion slices and mushrooms to the pan drippings. Saute for a few minutes, until the onion is tender. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon flour. Put the steak back into the pan with the onion and mushrooms. Add the mushroom soup and beef broth. Cook over low heat for about 30 minutes, covered. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding salt and pepper, as needed. Stir in the sour cream the last few minutes, right before you serve. Serve over cooked noodles.
Mix the ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Ø Know your inputs:
o Current Pay Scale: Refers to the Pay Scale of the post held on the date of retirement / death, under the V CPC. If you are not aware of the pay scale, it can be ignored. This pay scale is required to arrive at the minimum pension admissible based on the 50% of the minimum of the Pay Band under the VI CPC. This input is optional.
o Current Pension (Gross): Denotes the pension authorized on the PPO, inclusive of the commuted portion. Dearness pension should not be added if the retirement is prior to 01/04/2004. For retirements after 01/04/2004, the DP having been added while computing the pension, the gross pension shall include the DP. This input is compulsory.
o Commuted Value: Refers to the portion of pension commuted by you. Please do not validate this input if the commuted portion is already restored as on 01/01/2006. If it is restored after 01/01/2006, this input is required. This input is optional.
o Date of Restoration: This input is required if the restoration of commuted portion, (ie if 15 years has passed after the date of commutation) falls between the arrear period 01/01/2006 to 31/08/2008. This input is optional.
o Date of Birth of Pensioner : This input is required to determine the age of the pensioner, based on which additional pension is to be allowed. This input is compulsory.
o Date of Retirement / Death: This input determines the fitment to be adopted viz if the date of retirement / death is on or after 01/04/2004, it assumes that the current pension includes the DP element otherwise, the current pension is exclusive of DP and accordingly the fitment is done. This input is compulsory.
o General: The Dearness relief rates are applied on the gross pension both on the 'due' side and the 'drawn' side, as applicable from time to time. The calculation is only indicative and it is observed during evaluation that there is a minor error in rounding off to an extent of Re.1/-, and the additional pension is computed from the first of the month following the date of birth on which the age of 80/85/90 is attained – the errors are under debugging. Inconvenience is regretted.

Exploring lost worlds can save a bookshopRobert Colvile
Published: December 31 2012 - 3:00AM
A writer friend recently embarked on a pre-Christmas book tour, seeking to fill a few extra stockings with copies of his latest work. He returned in a state of mild despair. I asked him what the problem was: hadn't the punters turned up? Actually, he told me, it wasn't a lack of customers that had perturbed him, so much as a lack of bookshops. In Leeds, for example, there were three universities - but only one Waterstones.
Of course, the book trade's obituary has been written often enough. But some kind of tipping point does seem to have been reached. It was reported last week that the number of bookshops in Britain has halved in seven years. Partly, that's a result of the tough economy. But it's also due to the fact that we're moving our reading from page to screen, as the piles of iPads and Kindles under the nation's Christmas trees demonstrated.
I can't be the only person who - having issued confident pronouncements about how the e-book would never catch on, how the printed paperback was an unsurpassable triumph of technology - now finds himself devouring holiday reading on a tablet computer, and blessing the saving in luggage space. Admittedly, I still buy plenty of hard copies as well as electronic, but even then, the transactions are online, either via Amazon or the vast network of second-hand dealers at AbeBooks. Even when I do visit an old-fashioned bookshop, I often find myself wincing at the price and firing up my mobile to see how much less the internet is charging.
Having spent much of my childhood (and adulthood) in libraries, I'd be a fool if I said that I don't, on some level, consider the number of bookshops in a country to be a good index for its level of civilisation. But I'd be a greater fool if I didn't admit that I've played my part in their decline - or that there doesn't seem to be much hope of reversing it, given that the cost of running a bricks-and-mortar outfit in high street and hiring a bunch of English graduates to man it, will always outweigh the price of a large warehouse on an industrial estate and a giant pile of stamps.
So is there a way to save the bookshop, apart from nationalising Waterstones and running it on a pro bono basis? The most obvious solution - already embraced by outfits such as Foyles - is to head upmarket, whether by catering to the bibliomane rather than the punter, or by making your shop more of a ''destination'' via readings and gourmet coffee.
Bookshops also have one unmatchable advantage over the internet, and that is the opportunity they offer for serendipity. Theodore Dalrymple wrote a lovely essay in this newspaper a few weeks ago about the pleasure of browsing the shelves of a dusty second-hand store, but the same holds true even if the spines are uncreased. A good bookshop maximises the chances of delightful discovery, of emerging with more than you intended.
Whenever I was passing through Oxford, I used to find excuses - until it joined the list of the departed - to visit the bookshop set up by the team behind QI. Its sections were organised by (loose) theme rather than topic or name: as a result, I invariably found, and bought, books that would never have otherwise crossed my radar. An informed guide can be an invaluable assistant under such circumstances: one of the problems with many bookshops, particularly in academic towns, has been that they often functioned as social housing for intellectual unemployables, who preferred browsing the stacks themselves to helping the customer.
Another approach - taken by the Folio Society - is to focus on books as objects, to produce editions so wonderful to hold (and behold) that an e-book pales by comparison. The actor Neil Pearson has described his passion for rare editions; while I don't have his budget, or the mania that leads people - for example - to buy a copy of Sachin Tendulkar's autobiography impregnated with the batsman's own blood (such a book really was published), I still appreciate a decent hardback as much as anyone, and am willing to pay for the privilege.
The speed with which bookshops are vanishing suggests a process that is not so much Darwinian as apocalyptic. Given what happened to the record shops, few would put money on a mass-market bookshop still competing with the online giants in a decade's time: the way we read books is changing too fast, as is the way we buy them. But it would be a tragedy if they vanished - and with them, the age-old joy of being able to lose yourself in a good bookshop.

Ev, Charlie Are On, See Page Two 59TH YEAR NO. 212 Spy Scare In Britain Worsens Investigations Are Blossoming After Mac's Statement LONDON lead- ing expert on Britain's -se- curity system today began an investigation of sensa- tional rumors that a gov- ernment minister planned to flee to the Soviet Union with a homosexual spy. Prime Minister Macmillan in a startling statement to the House of Commons Wednesday called for a "trial of truth" and named Lord Radcliffe, 63, as the head of a tribunal with sweeping powers to look ino the rumors and the state of government security. The spy.alarm was heightened by Charles Jan Orr-Ewing, civil lord of the admiralty, who said in a speech that thousands of Communist secret agents are op- erating in Britain. Large Scale? Macmillan himself warned that "hostile intrigue and espionage are being relentlessly maintained on a large scale" in Britain and that "massive efforts are being made by every possible method to undermine our security." His statement was prompted by a rumor that Thomas Galbraith, former civil lord of the admiral- ty and the second-ranking civilian official there, planned to defect to the Soviet Union with William John Vassall. Vassall, an admiralty clerk, confessed at his trial" last month that the Soviets used his homo- sexuality to blackmail-him into- spying for them for six years. He was jailed for; 18 years. For Months Lord Radcliffe's tribunal also will investigate a press report that it was known for 18'months, be- fore Vassall's arrest last Septem- ber that there was a spy in the admiralty. This will be Lord Radcliffe s second inquiry into government security. He led an investigation of intelligence services after George Blake, a foreign office in- telligence agent turned traitor, was jailed for 42 years last year. As a result of the investigation greatly tightened regulations for civil service employes went, into effect. Likes Probes Before that Lord Radcliffe, a lifetime peer, made almost a ca- reer of conducting government in- quiries. He headed commissions that drew up the boundaries of .India and Pakistan and the con- stitution for Cyprus and another that made a four-year study of the tax, monetary and'credit sys- tem. He served as director gen- eral of information in World War II. Assisting him will be Sir Milncr Holland, one of Britain's top law- yers, and Justice Patrick Barry, a high court judge since 1950 who in 1952 tried William Marshall, a foreign office radio operator, and sent him to prison for five years for giving secrets to the Soviet Union. A Dark- Cloud Macmillan told Parliament a "dark cloud of suspicion and in- nuendo" has surrounded Gal braith, the former admiralty min- ister who last week resigne'd as undersecretary for Scotland. Vas- sall had worked for him at the admiralty, and a number of brief, seemingly innocent letters from the minister to the clerk were, found in Vassall's apartment. "It is no good beating about the declared the prime minis- ter. "What was being spread about was that he was guilty.of a perverted- or immoral associa- tion with Vassall." As Macmillan spoke, Galbraith, 45, married, and the father of two children, sat white-faced orf the Conservative benches behind him. He is a member of the House of Commons from Glasgow.'

Burkhart Asks Federal Court To Order Oklahoma To Reapportion According To Commissions Plan Conditions Are Secret, Sources Say WASHINGTON Soviet Premier Khrushchev has sent President. Kennedy an offer to pull .Soviet jet bombers out -of Cuba but attached so many "ifs" that a Cuban settlement is not within sight, .authoritative sources said early today." Khrushchev's proposal, it was learned, was received several days ago and is be- ing discussed at negotia- tions presumably in New York where U.S. and Soviet representatives have been trying to hammer out an agreement. Exactly what conditions the So- viet premier attached to his offer were not disclosed. But there were so the sources said, 'that they cannot foresee a swift solution to the problems that have been keeping a fire to 'the Cuban crisis.

U.S. officials have reported' that 42 of the missiles were counted on Soviet vessels steaming away from Cuba. -That's the number of missiles the Soviets say they had on the island. Officials here look.upon. the re- moval of the missiles (unless some are hidden in caves) as ful- fillment -of the mo'st "important, of Khrushchev's promises to Ken- nedy. In addition to the bomber issue, Khrushchev has not carried out his promise to allow U.N. inspec- tion of the dismantling of weapons and their bases which Castro has cried he will not permit. The United States 'pressed the Soviet Union1 on the planes Tues- day during the New York talks. U.N. Ambassador Adlai-E. Steven- son politely but firmly told Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister..

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger will do whatever it takes to protect Jack Wilshere from the perils of 'burn-out'.
Football history is littered with stories of talented youngsters who shone brightly and then faded from vision, and the Arsenal manager is determined to handle Wilshere with care.
That is easier said than done. The 17-year-old was so impressive at the Emirates Cup in August that he won two consecutive man-of-the-match awards and was even touted for a place in England's 2010 World Cup squad. No wonder the clamour for his inclusion in the Arsenal first-team has grown ever since.
But Wenger has chosen to keep Wilshere on the fringes of the side until tonight, when the teenager will start the Carling Cup tie against West Bromwich Albion at Emirates Stadium. In an exclusive pre-match interview with Arsenal TV Online, the manager explained why Wilshere's progress must be managed correctly.
"I believe last year he paid a little bit of a price physically for a very demanding start," said Wenger. "This year we feel that he is strong, more mature, and I'm sure that he will show that.
"It's difficult to treat them [young English players] completely the same because you want to speed up a little bit their progress, but physically I will still treat him like anybody else because most people once they get to 19 years of age - 19 or 20 without big injures - they are over-used. A big injury can always happen because you get over-use of the players."
With that in mind, Wenger will use Wilshere sparingly. The 17-year-old can expect to pick up valuable first-team experience this term but his manager is setting no targets on that front.
"You cannot predict that too much, because for a player like Aaron Ramsey you know what can happen because he's now physically ready," said Wenger.
"I believe you do not know what will happen throughout the season so for Jack the most objective target is to improve. There are some areas where he can improve and that is most important that you work on everything."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

9 reasons to book a Disney Dream cruise
It's no secret I love cruises. I don't really know of a person who has cruised on a good ship and did not fall in love with this mode of travel.
Aside from the fact that it's an all inclusive vacation, your stateroom moves from one destination to another. I have traveled a lot in the last few years. Half of that travel was with Lexi, so I am no stranger to traveling with a kid. When it comes to cruises, I am less experienced, but I have been on enough cruises to know what I am doing and to be able to compare those experiences.

Give a child the gift of friendship
Peace. Hope. Joy. Love.
These are not only Christmas words.
When we step away from our hectic schedule and build a relationship with a child, we find peace. The affirming words we offer in friendship give hope. Simply smiling because we appreciate someone brings joy. Standing beside them through thick and thin creates love.
Here's a sampling of four deserving children from the Kinship Partners' Lake Country Office waiting to experience these feelings.
Chelsey is an active fifth-grader who wants to fish, ride horses, ski and be outdoors.
Peyton is a sweet sixth-grader with a list of interests a mile long. Crocheting, swimming and music are just a few.
Alec is a fourth-grader with a big heart who needs a nudge to try new experiences. He would love to spend time around the bonfire or try fishing.
Addy is a third-grade pixie who delights in everything. Board games, crafts and trips to the library will bring a smile.
Give yourself and a child in our community the gift of friendship this Christmas. Be a mentor.
Kinship Partners serves families in Crow Wing and southern Cass counties and the Staples/Motley area by providing positive role models to youth ages 5 to 14. Offices are located in Pequot Lakes, Brainerd, Crosby and Staples.

Wine Cellar in Finished Basement
Hi All,
I'm planning to build a wine cellar in my basement, which is currently finished. The cellar will be kept at 58deg year round and perhaps 70% humidity with an active temp/humidity device made for this purpose. I live in MN, so my basement is insulated with a vapor barrier directly behind the sheetrock (the warm side).
My plan is to build a stud wall and partition off part of my basement to create the cellar. Two of the walls I'm planning to use are finished insulated foundation walls as described above.
I understand vapor barriers should always be on the warm side of walls, so this brings me to my question. The placement of vapor barrier on the new stud wall is easy - under the Sheetrock on the non-cellar side, the warm side. But, Do I need to gut my two finished foundation walls to put a vapor barrier behind the insulation? In the summer, the cellar will be the cool side. In the winter it will be the warm side. Thus my dilemma.
Now, I understand the basement basically has this same problem already. The basement is the warm side in winter and cool side in summer. The contractors who finished my basement just put up 6 mil poly directly beneath the Sheetrock (over the insulation) and called it a day. That seems to work fine.
Anyone have any tips here? Thanks!
Insulate all the walls of the wine cellar enclosure and the ceiling. I would also use an insulated door with a gaskets perimeter to maintain the rooms temperature and humidity.
Are you using one of those wine cooling units that go through the wall? Make sure you get the correct size or it will shorten it's life dramatically.
I updated the title to something more apt.
Ron...yes, I'm planning to get a through-wall unit, perhaps a WhisperKool. I haven't quite picked it out yet. I hear you on getting the correct one for the space.
I'm definitely planning to insulate the walls and ceiling. Do you have any more thoughts on the floor? Under the carpet (which I'll remove for this room) is a concrete slab. I was thinking of just leaving it concrete.
As far as the ceiling, would you recommend tearing out the existing finished ceiling and putting insulation up between the floor joists, or just insulate over the finished ceiling with pink foam or some such?
I think what I'll do in regards to the vapor barrier is the following. I will leave alone the two finished foundation walls. They have studs, fiberglass batting insulation with a 6 mil poly vapor barrier directly behind the sheetrock. On the new partition wall I'll build, I will put the vapor barrier on the basement side of the cellar because the basement should always be warmer than the cellar.
On the new partition wall, that gives me:
basement--> sheetrock--> 6mil poly--> studs/insulation --> sheetrock--> wine cellar
Thanks all!
I would remove the ceiling and insulate the space. The concrete is more problematic. You can't just lay down a sheet of foam insulation. I might look into a cork floor as an option.

Star Ruler 2 is a pausable 4X/RTS Hybrid developed by Blind Mind Studios (I'm one of the 2 BMS developers!). It's set in an original sci-fi setting at near-future tech levels - though it ends with the construction of entirely theoretical constructs such as Ringworlds.
You play as one of seven unique races [or a product of your own terrifying intellect] each with their own morph on the base gameplay (minus the 'vanilla' Terrakin). The first four non-terrakin races are minor morphs to the gameplay and the last two alter or even entirely subvert core concepts of the game. That's before we get into what FTL method your race uses (there are four, each have their perks and work entirely different from the others) and what Government your race adheres to. Your job is to survive, expand, and ultimately persist in the galaxy. Whether you wind up conquering the stars with thousands of ships hurled into the void with potent, star-crushing, weaponry - or diplomatically annexing and subjugating those who could or would stand against you - is up to you as their leader.
Star Ruler 2 runs on the Starflare Engine, a from-scratch in-house engine we built specifically for Star Ruler 2, and is releasing on PC and Linux. It has really minimal hardware requirements, which you can check out here on the Steam store page if you like but - brass tacks - if you've got a rig that's post-2009 you should be just fine.
Our goal was to create a 4X which tries to actually solve a lot of the problems we've had while playing other 4Xes, such as nobody having figured out a good way to do a diplomacy system that isn't Civilization's. Meanwhile, we wanted to revisit and improve all the ideas of Star Ruler 1 like making your planets something you care about and making the economy not mind-numbing. As a result, between the innovations and the improvements, we believe SR2 is a far superior title to the first one - despite offering a different gameplay experience.
Beginner/Default (Recommended for those who are new to Star Ruler 2)
Advanced (Recommended for advanced players who understand the basics of the game and are ready to absorb new strategies)
Expert (Recommended for players who have mastered the core mechanics of the game and wish to learn new ones)
What's going to go in here? Badass mods, community events, et cetera. I'll fill this section out as quickly as I'm able.

Inside Pitch
As major league debuts go, it does not get much better than Max Scherzer's on Tuesday night.
Scherzer retired all 13 batters he faced in a relief role against Houston, although he did not enter in time to prevent the Diamondbacks' 6-4 loss.
Against one of the best lineups in the NL, Scherzer struck out seven while featuring a fastball that topped out at 98 mph and reached 96 mph in each of his five innings. The Astros did not put a ball into fair territory until their sixth hitter, and got only one ball out of the infield, a lazy fly to left field by pitcher Tim Byrdak.
Scherzer's first five outs were strikeout, foul out, strikeout, strikeout, strikeout, strikeout #3 coming on on a 1-2 changeup to Miguel Tejada after hitting 98 mph on an inside fastball with the previous pitch.
"Once he got through that first hitter, it was lights out. Literally. We talked about his fastball. Pretty electric," manager Bob Melvin said.
"It was relieving," said Scherzer, who was recalled Sunday after going 0-0 with a 1.17 ERA in four starts at Class AAA Tucson, striking out 38 and walking three in 23 innings. "I was so prepared to finally make my major league debut. I was just happy to get out there and get it out of the way."
Scherzer, 23, entered in the third inning Tuesday to replace Edgar Gonzalez, who gave up six runs in 2 2/3 innings. That spot in the rotation comes up again Monday.
"We'll take a look at it later," Melvin said after the game.
Astros 6, Diamondbacks 4: Houston jumped out to an early 6-2 lead, and Arizona was unable to make it all the way back. Conor Jackson's two-run homer was the offensive highlight for the Diamondbacks, who managed just seven total hits off five Astros pitchers. Former Diamondbacks closer Jose Valverde got the save by striking out three of the four batters he faced in the ninth inning.
Snake Bytes
- RHP Max Scherzer was perfect in his major league debut, retiring all 13 batters he faced while striking out seven in a 6-4 loss to Houston on Tuesday. Scherzer entered in the third inning and needed only 45 pitches to record his 13 outs. "Once he got through that first hitter, it was lights out. Literally. We talked about his fastball. Pretty electric," manager Bob Melvin said. Scherzer was consistently between 95 and 97 MPH with his fastball - twice touching 98 against Miguel Tejada, while his secondary pitches ranged from 83 to 87 MPH.
- LF Eric Byrnes (hamstring) did not start Tuesday, the third time in six games he did not start, but he pinch-hit in the ninth inning and will play Wednesday, manager Bob Melvin said. Byrnes has been plagued by hamstring issues in both legs since the start of spring training. "He's better, but (Wednesday) is a day game, and I don't want to give him two days in a row off because he likes to keep some continuity to his swing," manager Bob Melvin said, "so we'll give him the night game off. We'll try to be cautious."
- RHP Micah Owings threw a normal 55-pitch bullpen session early Tuesday, and he will make his scheduled start Friday. He was removed from his Saturday start after suffering a sprained ankle when he landed awkwardly on second base after a double, but he said Tuesday he felt just a little restriction where his right ankle was taped. "He has three more days, and by then he'll be fairly close to 100 percent," manager Bob Melvin said. Owings is 4-0 with a 3.48 ERA and four quality starts.
- 1B Conor Jackson has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, hitting .353 with three doubles, two triples and two home runs after homering Tuesday. He is hitting .435 with runners in scoring position, and has done all that while making contact -– he is the fourth-hardest to strike out in the NL, averaging one strikeout every 16 plate appearances.
- 1B/3B Chad Tracy (knee) had two hits including a home run in six at-bats as a DH in an extended spring training game Monday and was to play again Tuesday. His next step will be to play at Class AAA Tucson. "We'll move him along when we think he's ready to go out and play" at least half a game, manager Bob Melvin said.
- LHP Doug Davis began his radiation iodine treatment Tuesday, 19 days after his cancerous thyroid was removed.
By The Numbers: 17-5—The Diamondbacks' record in a 22-game stretch against the NL West that concluded April 27.
Quote To Note: "Every game counts. We'll take it. It's a 22-game block, more than a quarter of our games in the division. To do well is important. But some teams that were off to great starts last year didn't get to October, so we are not overestimating what happens. But it is good to win games in your division."
—General manager Josh Byrnes, on the D-backs' 17-5 record against the NL West.
