Airman00, that also sounds like a good idea of installing the microphone directly onto the bot. One question though: Do you have much trouble to Chive's picking up too much background noise. Say there's some music playing on a radio, or the TV's on, or there are a lot of guests talking in your house. In your experience, is in harder to have your bot understand your vocal commands? Thanks, both! Loren

Cheerleaders are a good topic for fan fiction. Maybe some good stuff that ends up in the Tuesday Terror.
Bahahaha! That made me happy.
Who doesn't love epic violence, aliens, and brilliant profanity?
In regards to the skalorno, they always struck me as having an "If we can't have it, neither can you" mentality; which is where the sat bombs come into play. It's like their desire to win was so strong, that they were willing to use any means necessary. Let's not forget that the skalorno engage in cannibalism whenever their population gets too large. So if they can take over a planet, fine. If not, there's always the sat bomb.
That being said, I'm not sure how good their tech was compared to the other races. It could be that the sat bombs were used merely as a tactic to make the rest of the galaxy think twice before attacking them.
Just wow. I feel the need to rebut because this is an interesting conversation, but I obviously need to do my frigging homework first or you guys will squash me.
However, I will say that the very existence of the Purist Nation (driven seemingly by fanatical religious ideology) puts every other race automatically on the defensive, including the human factions that are sympathetic to other species. I say 'seemingly' because, at the end of the day PDFD's point about territory and resources is still probably the HolyMen's motivator, with the race hatred being the outwardly visible 'excuse'.
At any rate, and regardless of the crazy Sklorno, I wonder how much more peaceful (from the surface anyway) the universe would be if the PN didn't have that religious axe to grind.
I think acceptance of other races is becoming more common throughout the galaxy. We learn from Yasood that multi species biology classes are taught in schools, which means that people are being exposed to the other races at a relatively young age. So interacting with them isn't such a big deal. I'm not saying that interspecies relations are perfect, but I think the galaxy is definitely headed in the right direction.
that the Creterakians don't particularly care one way or the other about the other species, they just wanted to them to cut the shit with all the wars and killing and whatnot. The territorial nature of past galactic wars seems to be an inevitable aspect, exacerbated by the factor of species-bias. When you distill the reasons for conflict down to their purest motivators, we tend to find that most wars are fought over territory and / or resources anyway. Species-bias (and I'm basing this on research done on race-bias in armed conflit) plays a significant factor when it is used to motivate a population to accept the idea of armed conflict by envoking a "they're different from us, therefore a significant threat" attitude when, had species not been a factor in the consideration of using military force, the conflict could have been resolved through diplomatic means. I tend to think that this is a major factor in the Cretirakian takeover, that they wanted to basically force the other sentient species to grow up and act like adults (so to speak) when it comes to resolving conflicts, rather than just beating the hell out of each other like children fighting over a toy in the sandbox.
However, one also has to consider the cultural differences present in the multi-species mix, as well as alien psychologies that are quite differnt from humans. Consider the First Galactic War, in which the Sklorno attacked Withrit with seemingly no provocation or warning simply because they wanted to expand their territory to make room for an exponentially growing population. Okay, on the surface that makes sense. You need more land for your population, you just run the neighbors off and take over their parcel, getting both land and the resources with it. But the Sklorno saturation-bombed Withrit, making it unsuitable for population by anyone but the Quyth. That seems counterproductive to the goal of acquiring more land for a growing population, so there must have been some other behavioral motivator going on in the psyche of the Sklorno that is not understood from the human point-of-view. Either that or the Sklorno just really didn't like the Whitok and wanted to seriously jack their shit up. 🙂
Wow, I could totally write ten or fifteen more paragraphs on in-group / out-group bias, racial identity, and defense of culture, but that seems kinda silly seeing as that we're talking about a fictional future-history.
**Conjunction Junction, what's your function? No seriously, I slept through grammar class, so I have no idea what you do.**
….for some good discourse on this subject
Very true regarding the intergalactic wars, but one would have to ask if the past wars were more a result of territoriality rather than an inherent dislike of another species. It's also unclear, from what has been revealed about The Rookie Universe, how the Creterakians feel toward other species. All we know is that they conquered most of them quite decisively.
I definitely agree that the overarching Creterakian rule makes it difficult to blatantly promote hatred (without said entropic rifle making one very dead) but I wonder what the average citizen feels about other species…personally as they express their internal voice. And moreover, has the universe really progressed when it comes to male/female relations?
Gmork – Wiki Czar and Thwackacutioner
about everyone but the Purist Nation being accepting of other species. After all, it was interspecies war that led the Bats to take over. In most places in the galaxy I would imagine that it's less a matter of out-species acceptance and more a matter of the residents simply not have a choice but to be civil, least they get an Entropic rifle shoved in their faces.
**Conjunction Junction, what's your function? No seriously, I slept through grammar class, so I have no idea what you do.**
Your comment actually leads to another interesting question, which is in the year that The Rookie takes place (2682) is the universe more accepting of gender. We know that all but the Purist Nation are accepting of species and on a scale of acceptance I would imagine accepting a different species as an equal and contributing member of the galaxy is a lot harder than accepting a male versus a female.
We know from some of The Crypt episodes that the image of beauty for a woman may not necessarily include Heavy-G women but they do include the blue skinned women of Satirili-6. On the flip side, we also know from some of The Crypt episodes that crimes against women, i.e. rape, are still common.
So where does that leave gender relations in the future?
Gmork – Wiki Czar and Thwackacutioner
GFL cheerleaders are an interesting idea. There are players from several different species. There are fans from even more species. For the cheerleading squad to provide "eye candy" for as much of the fanbase as possible, as many species as possible would have to be represented on the cheerleading squad. Of course, since female Quyth don't leave their people's homeworlds, they're out of the picture. But who said the cheerleading squads had to be single-sex? The football teams aren't. Sadly, though, I don't think humans would accept male Quyth as cheerleaders in the same way that they accept female Sklorno as football players. It's a fascinating topic to consider.

This never even crossed my mind before. Would love to see what the FDO could do to make them an interesting part of the series.
No disagreements here!

Interesting idea… would give a chance to have a few more female characters in the books. (Was there even 1 HM or MC female that wasn't sklorno in The Rookie?)
Cheerleader story –
My nephew was always scared of costumed characters, including Santa. At about age 5 he had never sat on Santa's lap and never would. When asked who was going to bring his Christmas presents he said, "Cheerleaders." I believe he later specified that the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders would be bringing his Christmas presents. What a kid!
they'd be a great base at the bottom of the pyramid though, or at tossing the normal human cheerleaders up for aerial tricks
what about heavy G human cheerleaders…or maybe there would be a problem with pom pom damage when their knuckles drag along the floor.
I hope some of the cheerleaders have tentacles. That's hot…in a Cthulu kinda way.
Well, when you put it that way… Who can resist?

Am I the only one who wondered what the cheerleading squad must have looked like for any given team on any given tier?
At one point during the book I wondered if there were cheerleaders at all, since they weren't mentioned. Our FDO has to add them- the cheerleaders are an important part of the game! (Like if you have to wince & look away, at least you have something pretty to focus on.)

Heading Home – Lynn Mosher's Inspirational Writing Ministry
Here's an interview with one of our precious contributing writers Lynn Mosher. Lynn is the author of the inspirational blog "Heading Home". Heading Home is a wonderful Christian resource where you will be encouraged, edified, and empowered in your faith. Read more about Heading Home below.
* Why is it called Heading Home?
If you are a Christian and love the Lord, and as you walk through this life, you are in a constant state of heading toward your eternal Home in heaven.
We make many choices in this life, and they will either lead us down God's path that leads Home, or lead us down the enemy's path that leads…well, not where you want to go. Heading Home offers wisdom from the Word to help in making those right choices.
*What's the purpose of the site?
The slogan in the header of my blog says, "Following God's compass as it points to the right path Home." The scripture says, "Set up road signs; put up guideposts. Take note of the highway, the road that you take." (Jeremiah 31:21 NIV)
The Lord has asked me to write for Him, so I write in obedience to bring glory to Him and to be of some benefit to others—whether that is to encourage, inspire, exhort, comfort, uplift, or whatever. It's to help us tread those paths and be the people of God that He desires us to be. And as we learn to follow His Word and His will, making those right choices, we are able to set up the guideposts for others to follow.
*How does your site help your readers?
It is always my prayer that whatever I write will meet the need of at least one person. Helping more is better, but the Lord knows who needs a word whispered to his or her heart. In whatever way He desires to bless someone, it's His call. God uses my hands to spell out what He speaks to my heart. Only the comments of others can speak of how my words touch their hearts.
*Here are some comments readers have left who have been inspired by Lynn's writings.
"As always, wonderful insight delivered in language that allows us to understand and apply to our daily walk. Thanks!"
"This post is right on time for me. I always hold to our Lord's promises. I know that His word is true, but I love it when He gives me the confirmation I need. This posting was exactly that…confirmation."
"What a beautiful post that makes me just want to curl up and spend some time with the Lord! Thank you for having a listening heart and obeying that nudging, Lynn!"
"Oh, Lynn what a wonderful post. That is simply a powerful story. Thank you for sharing. With my husband's work hours just being cut, I really needed this reminder to be thankful in everything."
"After the year our family has had, this post gave me such hope and peace. I'm typing with tears in my eyes. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful devotion with us. I'm copying this and reading it through the year when I feel particularly overwhelmed."
"What a word! Thank you for sharing that. I want to do such great things for the Lord. I'm ready for Him to use me…and don't want any old remnants from last year. I love your blog site and you are a great teacher of the Word! God bless the work of your hands!"
"Your words speak such encouragement and hope…and life…thank you…blessings."
"Bless you, beautiful woman of God for pricking my heart with this reminder to do better. I'm printing this and putting it up where I can see it every day."
"Thank you so much for your inspiring words, you are an encouragement and may everything you give be given back to you: pressed down, shaken together and running over!"
As a last word…
I am very thankful to the Lord for using my words to bless others, and for bringing those precious souls to visit and read what I have to say on my site. I pray God's blessings on all who stop by!

Policing Minister Damien Green visited Addingham to discuss community policing preparations in advance of the arrival of the Tour de France this weekend.
Accompanied by Keighley and Ilkley MP Kris Hopkins, Mr Green met Inspector Sue Sanderson of Wharfedale and Craven Neighbourhood Policing Team, and members of The Tour Addingham, committee which is organising an extensive range of events to celebrate the peloton's arrival.
The Policing Minister was advised that the route would be bolstered by extra officers during race weekend and he praised the local community for getting behind the race.
Mr Hopkins said: "Addingham has a well-deserved reputation for excellent community relations. The Tour de France will see a large number of tourists come to the village to enjoy the race and the many other attractions that will be on offer, and the local police have a key role to play in ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
"I know that Damien welcomed the opportunity to be briefed on the policing plans, and also to hear about the vast amount of work that The Tour Committee and Addingham Civic Society have undertaken in preparation for what will surely be, two unforgettable days."
Addingham Civic Society chairman, Jim Robinson, added: "The village has really come together under the leadership of Richard Hunter Rowe and his tour committee to prepare for what undoubtedly will be a fantastic weekend. I am delighted that the Civic Society has been able to play a part in helping and supporting the committee's efforts."

With the help of the app, which allows users to harmonize multiple vocals in just seconds, the veteran singer and the TV host sing 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'.
Billy Joel performed a duet with Jimmy Fallon when he made a guest appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Thursday night, March 20. The veteran singer and the TV host formed a two-man Doo-Wop group with the help of an iPad app.
"You're one of my all-time favorites and just to even talk to you, I get a little nervous. But to sing with you is the craziest thing," Fallon told Joel before the performance. "And so I came up with an idea where maybe I could sing with you. See if you want to do this or not."
Called Loopy HD, the app allowed the two stars harmonize multiple vocals in just seconds. They sang an amazing rendition of The Tokens' classic "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".
Later in the Thursday episode of the late night show, Joel sat on his piano while singing his song called "You May Be Right". Fallon then appeared next to the singer and showcased his vocals before crawling on the top of the piano.

Bromelain Information | Ingredient Guide
An enzyme
found in the stem and juice of the pineapple, bromelain is primarily extracted
from stems after the fruit of the pineapple is used for other purposes. In Taiwan, India and Thailand,
producers of bromelain supplements peel, crush and then press pineapple stems
to obtain soluble bromelain enzymes that are later purified and concentrated.
In addition to being used as a meat tenderizer, bromelain
may have strong anti-inflammatory properties as well as the ability to inhibit
tumor cell growth and delay the formation of blood clots in cardiovascular
The U.S. National Institute of Health states
that bromelain may be effective for relieving the pain and inflammation of
osteoarthritis when bromelain is taken as Phlogenzym,
a medication containing bromelain and other proteins.
Some people take bromelain to prevent muscle fatigue following vigorous
exercise but as yet, no clinical evidence exists for the efficacy of bromelain
as a post-workout aid.
How Does Bromelain Affect the Body?
By influencing
synthesis of prostaglandin (hormone-like lipids that regulate pathogenic
mechanisms responsible for inflammatory responses), bromelain is able to
provide its documented inflammatory effects. In addition, bromelain extract increases
fibrinolytic activity in the bloodstream that can expedite wound healing by
degrading fibrin, a substance which inhibits blood clotting in open wounds.
Some studies found that bromelain reduces release of proinflammatory
cytokines and chemokines that are thought to be the mechanistic chemicals
behind Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and inflammatory bowel disease.
Potential Health Benefits of
As an potential anti-inflammatory, bromelain may be used to reduce swelling
and inflammation following minimally invasive surgeries involving moist tissues
(nose/sinus/oral operations, for example). The
American Cancer Society reports that a few studies indicated that bromelain
may also help decrease side effects of chemotherapy, such as nausea and
Bromelain may also reduce allergy and asthma symptoms in addition to the
pain and stiffness of tendonitis, joint pain, ACL tears and sprains.
Potential Side
Effects of Bromelain
Intestinal discomfort and diarrhea are the only side effects
that have been reported by people using bromelain extract supplements. However,
not enough is known about bromelain to make it safe for use by pregnant or
breast-feeding women. Those with
Bromelain is known to interact with amoxicillin by
increasing concentrations of this antibiotic in the body. Additionally, taking
bromelain with other antibiotics like tetracycline may increase side effects
caused by these drugs. Blood clotting preventatives such as Plavix and aspirin
could also be inhibited by bromelain and induce bleeding and bruising.
Usual dosage suggestions when taking bromelain supplements
is between 250 and 500 milligrams daily, depending on how much is needed to
reduce existing inflammatory conditions.

New York City Target Corp. spent $1.4 million on lobbying in the first quarter, focusing on legislation involving credit-card reform, organized crime, clean air and other matters, according to a recent disclosure report.
That was much higher than the $250,000 Target spent a year earlier or the $530,000 it spent in 2009's fourth quarter.
The retailer also lobbied on clean air and health care in January through March, according to the report it filed April 20 with the House clerk's office.
Among of the highest-profile issues that Target monitored was the Credit CARD act, which is meant to give credit-card users more information and stop policies that many consider abusive. The bulk of the law --which focuses on "credit card accountability, responsibility and disclosure" -- took effect in February.
Target, which sold 47% of its credit card receivables to JPMorgan Chase in May 2008, has tightened its credit-card underwriting standards to reduce risk.

This is the moment brave Ben Baddeley walks again after his final life-changing operation - thanks to Mirror readers.
The 10-year-old cerebral palsy sufferer faced being stuck in a wheelchair when he was denied treatment by Tory NHS cuts.
But our kind readers raised £20,000 after we highlighted his case - and his family elected to pay for selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) treatment privately.
Footy-mad Ben - filmed taking his first tentative steps in hospital - has just had his second and final op and proud mum Amy could not be happier.
She told how the delicate surgery had transformed her son's ability to walk.
The 29-year-old said: "We walked him up and down the hospital corridor with him holding my hands, just getting him used to his new legs.
"His right leg is almost perfect, the left one needs some more work but is improving all the time and he just wants to be up and about after the operation.
"You just would not believe how different he is.
"He is loving it, he wants to be moving now."
He underwent his first SDR operation in April after the Mirror revealed in a series of stories how the NHS had cruelly dropped his treatment.
Money poured in from readers to pay for SDR at Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham.
And the second operation was completed at the weekend.
Proud mum Amy said it was "nothing short of a miracle" watching her son walk now.
She paid tribute to all those who made his treatment possible, adding: "Dozens of donors did not give their names or addresses as they wanted to give anonymously.
"We thank every single one of them."
One £7,440 donation came from a businessman with five healthy grandchildren.
He read our stories and could not bear to let Ben wait for his vital second op.
The first procedure saw a catheter inserted into Ben's spine to stop a "bad" nerve linked to his condition hampering his movement. The second relaxed Ben's muscles further and helps him move more freely.
He originally endured 18 months of intense physio to get ready for NHS treatment. But funding was pulled at the last minute as it 'did not show relative cost or clinical effectiveness'.
Dozens of other children had their hopes of walking dashed when their operations were also axed earliert this year.
Amy, car worker husband Gary, 37, and their other son Joshua, five, of Silverdale, Staffs, will continue to fund raise in order to pay for equipment and physio needed for Ben to build up the strength in his legs.
Cerebral palsy is usually caused by an injury to the brain before, during or after birth and it affects muscle control and movement.
No two people are affected in the same way.
Some have such mild cases it is barely noticeable. Others need help with every aspect of daily life.
The injury to the brain does not get worse but the effects can change over time.
There are treatments but no complete cure. It is estimated that one in every 400 UK children is affected by cerebral palsy, with 1,800 babies diagnosed each year.

"I want to love you, but if it's not right, what can I do?"
G-Eazy surprises me with every new release in an ear-matically satisfying way.
He slows it down with "Marilyn" which features unique, indie laced vocals from Dominique LeJeune on the hook; The two weave a story of mistrust, regret, and the intensity of what else, but a love story. G makes this song relatable in the motional sense through his serious tone that he's set, which is a different vibe from what we usually hear from him.
"So make it worth it tonight, only so you know I never hurt you in spite/ Love you like you never will again/ It's our last time, tonight forget about the past time"

Johannesburg - Satanic groups are increasingly reaching out to vulnerable young people, and their influence is becoming "rampant" in certain communities.
Helen Clark, head of the child and adolescent psychiatric unit at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, said on Wednesday at an SA Depression and Anxiety Group session on teen suicide that she had seen a dramatic increase in her suicidal teen patients reporting being involved in these groups.
She said young people often craved attention, which satanic groups gave them.
"These people sit with you at break, they talk to you, they take you out," she said.
She said vulnerable teenagers were often not interested in the rituals, but as parents, schools and communities failed to protect and attend to them, they turned to other avenues for support.
In South Africa, 10 percent of non-natural deaths among teens are due to suicide, and a fifth of teenagers say they have considered suicide.
Clark said there had been a dramatic rise in adolescents overdosing on antiretrovirals, to which they had access within their homes.
She said systems such as home life, schools and communities were not giving the protection they should be, and the systems that were meant to protect adolescents were dysfunctional.
"Our families are categorised by loss, by traumatic experiences," she said.
"Making an attempt on your life has become a form of communication for adolescents, and it's growing".
The youngest suicide attempt Clark has dealt with involved an eight-year-old girl who told her that "poverty and lack of food" were her reasons for trying to kill herself.
Clark said even a seemingly minor incident could be the catalyst for vulnerable children to spiral into crisis.
Without an adult or another figure to ask for help, they could quickly begin to feel hopeless and unable to cope.
"Sometimes they say: 'I thought that if they thought I wanted to die, perhaps they'd see me'," she said.

Dynamic Probes (Dprobes) is a generic and pervasive system debugging facility that will operate under the most extreme software conditions such as debugging a deep-rooted operating system problem in a live environment. Dprobes allows the insertion of fully automated breakpoints or probepoints anywhere in the system and user space. Each probepoint has an associated set of probe instructions that are interpreted when the probe fires. These instructions allow memory and CPU registers to be examined and altered using conditional logic. When the probe command terminates, prior to returning to the probed code, a syslog record may be optionally generated.

Leukoplakia is a condition characterised by white patches or plaques on the inside of the cheeks, the tongue or palate. While the condition is harmless in itself, it has some potential to turn cancerous.
Conventional treatment options are limited, but there is evidence that specific nutrients may help reverse the condition. In a recent study, the effects of supplementation with the plant chemical lycopene (found most plentifully in tomatoes) was assessed in a group of leukoplakia sufferers. Individuals took either 8mg or 4mg of lycopene, or a placebo, for three months.
Fifty-five per cent of individuals taking the higher dose of lycopene were found to have a complete response to treatment (defined as no evidence of leukoplakia for four continuous weeks). The lower dose was found to bring complete relief in 25 per cent of those who took it. No individuals taking the placebo were found to experience a complete response. This suggests that lycopene supplementation offers considerable potential in the treatment of leukoplakia.

The future financial success of this blog was dealt a significant blow recently when I received this e-mail from the people at Google AdSense:
"Thanks for your email. However, please be aware that because your site was found to be in violation of our program policies, it is no longer eligible for participation in the AdSense program.

I think it's debatable if my site truly has "adult content" on it. Sure I talk about porn and dirty words found in Urban Dictionary but it's no worse than anything you'd see on FOX in primetime.
As noted above, Google says I can have my account activated if I remove all the adult content. THAT'S NOT HAPPENING. I will continue to give the people what they want. I will continue to talk about tits and farts and people I want to punch in the face. I'll continue to write sexist columns and bitch about my fiancé even if it means sacrificing the two dollars a month I currently bring in with Google AdSense.
Although losing the ability to place Google ads hurts the chance of my blog becoming profitable in the future, I am not too worried about it. There are plenty of other ways to make money online. Contrary to popular belief, Google does not control everything.
There are plenty of other advertisers out there. Do you know any? Because I could really use some cash.

Paris Hilton recently made international ads for Brazilian beer company and the Israeli Lottery which were shot in New York and Rio de Janeiro respectively.
Paris Hilton is adding to her international appeal after filming new ads for a Brazilian beer company and the Israeli Lottery. The 29-year-old busy socialite shot a spot for the Lottery at Shoe Woo in Manhattan, New York at the beginning of the month, on February 3, and more recently filmed a sexy commercial for Devassa beer in Rio de Janeiro, where Hilton and boyfriend Doug Reinhardt spent Valentine's Day weekend at the city's world famous Carnival.
In the new ad, the hotel heiress causes a stir on the streets below as she poses provocatively with an ice-cold can of beer in her hotel room.
Meanwhile, her Israeli Lottery ad comes with a bonus - the lucky lotto winner will join Hilton for a shopping spree.

Rising star Sara Takanashi said she was satisfied with her winning performance at the Nordic Junior World Ski Championships in the Czech Republic last week and is hoping to turn it on again for home fans at upcoming World Cup meets in Japan.
"I had two good jumps and it was a satisfying competition," the 16-year-old told reporters after arriving back in Japan at Narita airport. "I got a good image of how to perform."
Takanashi, who has already won four events on the senior World Cup circuit this season and leads the overall rankings, had jumps of 98.5 and 102 meters to successfully defend her individual title at the junior event in Liberec with 268 points.
The next World Cup events take place in Sapporo this weekend before moving to Zao, Yamagata Pref., on Feb 9-10.
"I want to enjoy myself so that the people supporting me can enjoy watching," she said.

Hicksville is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) located within the Town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County, New York, United States, on Long Island. The population of the CDP was 41,547 at the 2010 census.
Valentine Hicks, son-in-law of nationally famous abolitionist and Quaker preacher Elias Hicks, and eventual president of the Long Island Railroad bought land in the village in 1834 and turned it into a station stop on the LIRR in 1837. The station became a depot for produce, particularly cucumbers for a Heinz Company plant. After a blight destroyed the cucumber crops, the farmers grew potatoes. It turned into a bustling New York City suburb in the building boom following World War II.
Metalab, Equipment Company, a division of Norbute Corp, made laboratory furniture and cabinetry. Alsy Manufacturing manufactured electric lamps and lampshades from 1975 through 1991.[1]
The Rubber Company of America (RUCO) built a manufacturing site in 1945. RUCO Polymer Corp. (Hooker Chemical Company) manufactured plastics, latex, and esters. Occidental Chemical Corporation (OCC) owned and operated this site from 1966 to 1982. The site was purchased by Sybron Corporation, then in 2000, the Bayer Corporation (Bayer MaterialScience) purchased the Hooker Ruco facility and in 2002 decided to close the facility. The site was used for the production of polyester from 1982 until 2002.

UNEMPLOYMENT has shot to a 12-year high – leaving east Manchester reeling.
New figures released by the Government show that the number of people claiming Job Seeker's Allowance in Beswick and Clayton rose a whopping 54 per cent, up from 358 in May last year to 552.
The unemployment rate across Manchester currently stands at 5.5 per cent, with east Manchester bearing the brunt at an average of 8.1 per cent.
It is thought the area has been the worst hit in Manchester by the credit crunch, with Wythenshawe following close behind.
Liberal Democrat councillor for Gorton, Jackie Pearcey, said: "For many people in Gorton, the job situation is starting to look like the darkest days of the 1980s. This is having a knock-on effect on local businesses and starting to be reflected in the house repossessions. East Manchester families need help now, we can't wait until the recession is over."
People under the age of 25 are said to be the worst hit by the financial crisis with the number of long-term unemployed youngsters countrywide set to rise three-fold by December 2011.
But Labour councillor for Ancoats and Clayton Jim Battle said: "It is not all doom and gloom and east Manchester is weathering the storm and there is hope for the future. We can't deny that the recession has hit east Manchester but we need to remember that there is a lot of provision and developments in the area. We have the new BMX centre and the new police HQ in Newton Heath, and the list goes on.
Andy Carr, advisory services manager at Openshaw Jobcentre Plus, said: "There is little we can do to prevent someone from losing their job, and there is no doubt it's tougher to find a new one. But we are committed to providing real help to people to enable them to get back to work as soon as possible. Although some employers in the area have been recruiting, for example Tesco and Matalan, there are far fewer vacancies now compared to the same time last year.
"Nevertheless, Jobcentre Plus continues to work with employers, to identify and fill as many local job opportunities as possible."
Bucking the current trend, more than 420 people in Openshaw found work last month – the highest figure in three years.
Steve Mycio, deputy chief executive of Manchester City Council, said: "Although there are no grounds for complacency and the regeneration agencies need to continue their good work, it is clear that the work done so far has significantly contributed to us being relatively better off than many other parts of the country."
The new figures from the National Statistics claims 2.261 million have lost their job in the UK – the highest since November 1996.

Urinary Disorders
Discharge after ejaculation
Hi, I am a 20 year old male, in good helath.
Last october, I started to have symptoms of a UTI, i.e. burning in urination. Then, I had severe epididymitis and a slight discharge from my penis. This cleared with antibiotics. A month later, my urine started to dribble after I finished urinating, and I needed to urinate quite frequently. My doctor said it was prostatitis, and gave me antibiotics. Now, my ejaculate is really sticky and after it goes flaccid, a gooey clear liquid discharges out.
Do you think I still might have prostatis?
I had a bacterial culture done on my urine 2 weeks ago, and it came back negative for bacteria. Can I assume that I do not have any STDs, i.e. chlamydia and gonnorhea? Does this mean I had non-bacterial prostatitis?
A urine culture would not necessarily be positive for Chlamydia or GC. If you are concerned enough to send cultures, you would need to have swabs of the urethral discharge plated on specific culture media. It is not uncommon, however, to have a clear discharge after antibiotic treatment for a urethral infection. As for whether you still have prostatitis, you might. Prostatitis tends to occur in younger men and be a recurring problem even if treated appropriately. Current recommendations for bacterial prostatitis are for 6-12 weeks of antibiotics. Many providers only give patients 10-14 days.

The Xbox Live Arcade has recently been suffering some stagnation. The titles have become somewhat irksome and it seems that there's very little in the way of new original titles being released.
The Maw changes all that. The Maw is a new, original and very entertaining platform title.
In The Maw you play an alien called Frank, who has been enslaved by some other rather nasty aliens. You are thrown into a cage alongside a range of creatures, including something very dangerous but also very amusing; the Maw.
When the alien space ship is suddenly destroyed you find yourself waking in a pile of rubble on some foreign planet. Next to you, the only other survivor it seems is the near indestructible Maw. The Maw and Frank need to find their way off the alien planet and avoid being recaptured by the nasty aliens, and this is where you come in.
Thanks to Frank's acquisition of an alien weapon that is used to hold onto objects as well as other creatures, you can lead the Maw around on what is much like a leash. The Maw itself is relatively fearful and lazy, but has an insatiable appetite and will devour anything and everything (or close to), continually growing and developing with every bite.
As the Maw grows it can begin to devour larger and larger aliens, helping you on your journey through the levels, solving puzzles and devouring strange objects. Each level also has some special aliens, that on devouring, the Maw will take on the characteristics of the alien. This is really fun, and has been implemented with some exceptional animations. On attempting to devour a fire lizard I found that the Maw broke free of my grasp and immediately ran to the nearest water source to extinguish its burnt tongue. I couldn't help but laugh at the almost slap-stick humour that has been implemented very successfully.
You will, from the outset, rely heavily on the Maw's eating capabilities, as Frank has no means to defend himself. Well, apart from his leash gun, which he can use on occasion to flip over an enemy turret that is in most cases dropped from enemy spacecraft that fly overhead. But this approach works very well, and in most cases you simply just move the Maw over something edible and he will devour it. On occasion though you will need to use your leash to throw something his way, which is reminiscent of canine behaviour. Overall the Maw really is just a big cuddly hungry alien, however dangerous he might be with his never-ending hunger and growth.
The graphics are really fantastic, with The Maw easily being one of the best looking XBLA titles available. The downside is that each of the levels is not hugely different to the last in look and feel, although they are different enough to not feel repetitive. The biggest downside is that the game simply isn't long enough, although admittedly there is some replayability in that you can compare your statistics with your friends (such as how much your Maw eats per minute). It is good news then that the developers have already announced some planned DLC to extend the play, therefore adding to the value of the title.
There is no multiplayer unfortunately, other than comparing your statistics, and it is hard to imagine how multiplayer could have been implemented. The game itself however is still well worth the 800 points being asked, and wins serious points on the originality and amusement factor. The game is also easy enough for almost anyone of any age to pick up, much like most platformers. But because neither Frank nor the Maw can die, there is none of the frustration involved with similar titles.
Overall The Maw is certainly one of the best XBLA titles. It is fun, entertaining and the promise of DLC makes it even sweeter. The only downside is that the game should have been longer. This is the sort of originality that we love to see on the XBLA, and hopefully The Maw spells a return to the quality titles we have previously seen on the Arcade.

PLANS for a new conference centre in Newport that could serve as many as 3,000 delegates are set for the green light at a Newport council meeting next week.
Officers have recommended that the Celtic Manor Resort's application for outline planning permission to build the so-called Wales International Conference Centre be granted with conditions.
It's now up to councillors on the council planning committee, who will need to consider objections from the Gwent Wildlife Trust and other worries over the traffic impact on nearby roads, to decide on the application.
Officers said the proposed development is considered to be acceptable in principle, with clear economic benefits to South East Wales, as were issues of biodiversity and traffic impact.
It aims to be a world-class conference centre, complete with multi-storey car park, that would generate more than 100,000 bedroom nights per year. Most of these would need to be accommodated off-site, with the Celtic Manor Resort only capable of accommodating 20,000 a year.
Edwina Hart, business minister, announced in November that the initial stage of the project will be match-funded by the Welsh Government. Construction of the centre is expected to take two years.
According to a report going to the meeting of the planning committee next Wednesday, Gwent Wildlife Trust has objected to the plans on the grounds that they'd result in the loss of ancient semi-natural woodland.
The environmental charity said its greatest concern was at the loss of 1.2 hectares of Coldra Wood, claiming mitigation for the loss of habitat didn't meet criteria guidelines.
In a worst-case scenario the centre would generate 500 trips per hour between 8am and 10am and 4pm and 6pm, but only when there are major events when the facility is fully occupied.
Head of Streetscene Phil Matley is concerned that however expressed concerns that proposed full-time traffic lights on the bridge over the M4 that accessing the site could create more problems than it solves, due to queuing issues.

Julia Roberts Mirror Mirror
April 1, 2012 by staff
Julia Roberts Mirror Mirror, Julia Roberts has taken time off from Hollywood of late to focus on her three young children – but admits she enjoys being back on the big screen, as a fairytale villain in her latest movie. Playing the evil Queen in "Mirror Mirror," a new version of Snow White, marks a departure for the US actress, whose career has included everything from campaigning lawyer to high-class call girl and celebrity love interest.
Directed by Indian filmmaker Tarsem Singh – who made last year's "Immortals" – the movie based on the famous Brothers Grimm children's tale opens in the United States on Friday. Roberts, who at 44 remains one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, made her name in films including 1990′s "Pretty Woman" and "Erin Brockovich" in 2000, and said she never thought she would appear in a fairy tale.
"Just the one sentence pitched over the phone: 'Hey, they're doing this Snow White adaptation,' that didn't grab my attention. I didn't have any interest in this one, really, until Tarsem lured me in his lurid way." she told reporters.
"And I looked at the script and realized that there was really something here." The film tells the story popularized around the world by Disney, but gives it a different, sometimes comic or even absurd twist, creating a visual universe sometimes closer to "Alice in Wonderland" than the Brothers Grimm.

Drapes passed away in October of 2011. His wife, children and grandchildren attended the Nov. 7 Montana Society of Engineers banquet during which he was honored.
"The amazing thing is that Alex Drapes was both a mechanical and electrical engineer," said Doug Brekke, past president of the Montana Society of Engineers. "Today that is unheard of. But Alex was special."
Drapes graduated from Great Falls High School in 1942 and attended Montana State College before joining the United States Army.
Drapes was in the Battle of the Bulge, one of the bloodiest fought by Americans in Europe. During fighting in the Ardennes region, Drapes was captured by the Germans and sent to three different Nazi concentration camps.
After the war, Drapes went to the California Institute of Technology, where he finished out his bachelor's degree in engineering in 1949.
Drapes then returned to Montana where he worked as a staff engineer for VanTylingen, Knight & VanTylingen, an architectural firm based in Great Falls.
In 1954, he founded Drapes Engineering in Great Falls. William "Bill" Kilby was a partner in the firm, which provided mechanical and electrical design services for numerous projects across Montana. In 1992, Drapes sold the firm to the group of engineers that formed Gordon Prill Drapes or GPD.
His engineering portfolio includes public schools in Great Falls, Harlem, Brockton, Lame Deer, Lodge Grass, Big Sandy, Choteau, Cascade, Miles City, Bozeman, Babb, White Sulphur Springs, Centerville, Glendive, Glasgow, Browning, Terry, Missoula, Highwood, Plains, Helena, Malta, Geraldine, Box Elder, Lakeside and Kalispell.
He was also engineer for numerous telephone switching facilities owned by Mountain States Telephone, numerous additions to Malmstrom Air Force Base and Glasgow Air Force Base, Montana State Prison, as well as numerous health care facilities, banks, airports, motels, churches, television studios, libraries, swimming pools and private residences.
At MSU, Drapes was engineer on numerous ground-up and remodel projects, including Brick Breeden Fieldhouse, which received a national award for its lighting system. He also worked on the Creative Arts Complex, Sherrick Hall, Ryon Labs, planning for the Animal Biosciences Complex, heating plant upgrades, and the Kappa Sigma Fraternity.
Also part of Drapes' portfolio are the Life of Montana building in Bozeman, the Lee Metcalf Building in Helena, a remodel for the Montana House of Representatives chambers in Helena, primary electrical and heating systems for the University of Montana in Missoula, MSU Northern heating plant and Cowan Hall renovations in Havre, as well as Eddie's Supper Club in Great Falls.
Drapes also worked on projects outside Montana, from the Agriculture Ministry building in Saudi Arabia to fish hatcheries in Alaska.
The Montana Professional Engineers Hall of Fame, which is housed at MSU's College of Engineering, is sponsored by the Montana Society of Engineers to honor those who have made significant contributions to the development of Montana and the engineering profession.
Previous inductees into the Montana Professional Engineers Hall of Fame include Ralph Prussing, John H. Morrison, Ben F. Hurlbut, W. Paul Schmechel, Leland J. Walker, Harold S. "Sonny" Hanson, Robert L. Sanks, Eldon R. Dodge, Joseph A. Maierle, Willis J. Wetstein, Daniel T. Berube, W. J. Bennington, and Fred F. Videon.

Hello and my clippings won't sync
Ok, here's the deal. I had my annotations not set to backup (didn't realize this). Made tons of highlights then realized that my book had "reached it's quota of highlights." I then realized that these clippings can still be viewed online. So, I went to check out the amazon kindle beta site and found none of my clippings. I then realized that the kindle was not set to backup so I enabled this feature. Still no highlights in the amazon kindle site. I read in one post that I might ought to highlight one passage in the book and then it would reset. Did that, and only have that highlight. Does anyone know how to get all my clippings from my device to the website? I live in Asia so I thought that might be the issue. I changed my country of location in the manage your kindle settings. Still no highlights (other than the ones on the device). Please help with this sync issue?

The 19-year-old Prince who moved north to study History of Art at the very old and famous St Andrew's University topped the survey by a Scottish newspaper.
The Prince charming beat off competition from footballers and actors in the list of 50 blokes, including Rangers defender Lorenzo Amoruso.
The survey listed his skills that catapulted him to the top spot including his excellent skiing.
Not to mention his looks! The survey commented: " he's handsome, wealthy and will, eventually, become one of the world's most powerful men."
No peace
But you wouldn't be able to go on a cinema date in peace with such a Royal celeb with his many bodyguards in tow!
To qualify for the list celebs had to be born, living or working in Scotland. Last year, Harry Potter author JK Rowling made it onto the woman's list, but she has since found romance.

A "repeal day" abolishing thousands of redundant federal laws may not do much to help business, based on the West Australian experience of an almost identical policy.
The Coalition government plans to ask Parliament on March 19 to repeal 8000 articles of legislation it says are redundant.
Now in its third year, Western Australia's "repeal week" has been criticised for focusing too much on obsolete legislation rather than genuine impediments to business.
In 2013, 10 of the 43 acts removed were directly linked to long-obsolete rules governing how cemeteries should be established in regional towns.
State laws prohibiting people from marrying close relatives – made irrelevant because of federal jurisdiction over marriage – were among the repealed laws.
"It makes sense to remove redundant legislation, some of which is over 100 years old, but ultimately the real benefits of repeal days will come when business is feeling the regulatory burden decrease," a spokesman for the Chamber of Commerce and Industry WA said. "That hasn't happened yet, but we are hopeful that the process will gather steam."
Liberal West Australian Premier
Some attempts to reduce red tape in WA have been met with resistance. The state opposition has supported the principle of repealing redundant laws although criticised the government for concentrating on laws that no one had to adhere to anyway.
"The legislation has had no impact on modern red tape," Labor Treasury spokesman
"If you are going to focus on legislation that has no impact on anyone it's almost redundant."
Most of the federal laws to be repealed will be covered by the Omnibus Red Tape Repeal Bill, which the government hopes Labor and the Greens will support in both houses.
More contentious pieces of legislation, including the Future of Financial Advice legislation, the Coastal Trading Act and the Australian Jobs Act, will likely be covered in separate legislation the same day.
On Monday, the federal opposition was unable to say if it would support the repeal bills and would wait for shadow cabinet to make a decision.
"Labor will support sensible changes to remove redundant regulations, however we will not allow the government to get away with dismantling important protections for families, consumers and workers and hiding it behind the mask of red tape reduction," Labor spokesman for small business
Separately, the federal government is working to make it easier for small and medium-sized businesses to apply for procurement contracts by lowering the dollar-value threshold that triggers complex accreditation processes.
Parliamentary secretary to the Prime Minister
"The deregulation agenda requires a whole of government approach and one of the key areas for reform will be in the procurement and grants processes," he said.
"There is great potential for introducing a more efficient approach that reduces the reporting burden on contracting businesses and allows government to be more efficient too."
According to the Department of Finance, 70 per cent of procurement contracts were valued below $80,000 in 2012-13. At present, applications under that value are subject to a standardised template for application.
The Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal is among the initiatives Mr Frydenberg wants to axe. The tribunal was set up by Labor to respond to Transport Workers' Union concerns about contract drivers being forced to speed or skip breaks.
The Abbott government is reviewing the tribunal and submissions are due on Tuesday, but the tribunal's fate appears to have been decided, angering the union.
"We haven't even had the review yet. It's a disgrace that you can announce the outcome of a review before you've even held hearings," a TWU spokesman said.

House Speaker John Boehner Says Administration Never Consulted with Congress on Taliban Prisoners
(Washington Times / Worthy News)-- House Speaker John A. Boehner said Tuesday that President Obama may have broken the law in failing to notify Congress of his plans to transfer Taliban fighters from Guantanamo Bay, elevating the battle over this weekend's deal to a constitutional clash between Congress and the executive branch.
Mr. Boehner said the White House avoided fulfilling the law because officials knew they wouldn't get approval of Congress, after earlier broad overtures about a prisoner exchange met with resistance.
"There was every expectation that the administration would re-engage with Congress, as it did before, and the only reason it did not is because the administration knew it faced serious and sober bipartisan concern," Mr. Boehner said in a statement.

Now that her TV series 'Ghost Whisperer' is canceled, Jennifer Love Hewitt considers to go to West End to land a role.
Jennifer Love Hewitt is preparing to swap the small screen for the New York stage - the actress is making plans for her Broadway debut. The "I Know What You Did Last Summer" star is lining up work following the recent cancellation of her spooky TV series "Ghost Whisperer".
Hewitt will play a prostitute in upcoming TV movie "The List", and after that she's hoping to put her singing and dancing skills to the test in a Broadway musical. She tells E! Online, "I'm looking at possible doing Broadway. To be able to sing and dance will be fun."
After canceled by CBS following a streak of mild rating, "Ghost Whisperer" reportedly was considered by ABC, but it was not happening. "After five wonderful seasons and over 100 episodes, we are disappointed to announce 'Ghost Whisperer' will not be returning for a sixth season," executive producers Kim Moses and Ian Sander said in a statement Thursday, May 27. "We've had an incredible experience and owe a debt of gratitude to everyone involved."

LOS ANGELES -- Nuclear facilities as military targets? The drumbeat appears to be growing louder. Western leaders repeatedly declare that no option is off the table to stem Iran's nuclear ambitions. And, in mid-November, London's Sunday Times reported that Israel put defenses around its Dimona nuclear reactor on "red alert" 30 times, as worries grew that Syria would avenge Israel's September attack on a suspected nuclear site in Syria.
Israel's fear reflects the region's unique history. Since World War II, strikes to halt nuclear activities have taken place exclusively in the Middle East: Iraq was struck by Iran (1980), Israel (1981), and the United States (1991, 2003), while Iraq bombed Iran (1984-87) and Israel (1991). But raids never generated significant radiological consequences, because plants were under construction, contained inconsequential amounts of nuclear material, had radioactive elements removed prior to the attack, or because the attacker missed the mark.
A successful strike on Dimona, however, would be another matter. So, given the threat of radioactive releases, does the plant's continued operation outweigh the risks?
Dimona is unique. It is the region's largest nuclear plant and sole producer of atomic weapons materials. Since it went into operation in the mid-1960's, it has generated elements for an estimated 200 nuclear weapons. Israel's first prime minister, David Ben Gurion, inaugurated the enterprise to compensate for Israel's strategic vulnerability, a fledgling army, and the West's unwillingness to enter into a formal alliance to defend the Jewish state.

Medical Definition of Psoas
Psoas: Two muscles of the lower back. There are two psoas muscles on each side of the back. The larger of the two is called the psoas major and the smaller the psoas minor. The psoas major originates at the spine, around the bottom of the rib cage, and runs down to the thighbone (the femur). The psoas major acts to flex the hip. The psoas minor also originates at the spine, around the bottom of the rib cage, but it runs down to the bony pelvis. The psoas minor acts to flex the lower (lumbar) spine.

Feast of the Triumph of the Cross
September 14, 2015 by Liz Estler
Filed under Feast Days, Liz Estler, The Cross
"What a great thing it is to possess the Cross! He who possesses it possesses a treasure."* In the second reading for today's Mass, we hear, in Saint Paul's letter to the Philippians, that Christ humbled himself becoming obedient to death, death on a cross. And, because of this, God greatly exalted him (cf Philippians 2:6-11). Jesus' death on the cross reveals his utter humility, His obedience... Read More

COPPERAS COVE — If there were any doubters, Gatesville believes it proved them wrong.
After losing a wealth of talent to graduation from a team with consecutive regional semifinal trips to its credit, an us-against-the-world mentality began to resonate within the current players, who dismiss any notion they cannot live up the lofty benchmarks set by their predecessors.
The Hornets believe they opened some eyes by defeating several larger schools, including the host team, to win the Copperas Cove tournament Saturday.
"People didn't believe in us," said middle blocker Ashley Cook. "To come up here and win the whole thing against big schools, that's a big deal."
Teammate Paige Chambers agreed.
"People didn't think we would be able to do this, and we did," the senior setter said.
Following an undefeated run through their pool, the Hornets beat three of the field's six Class 4A or Class 5A teams, beginning Friday with a win against Georgetown East View and concluding Saturday with straight-set victories against Copperas Cove (25-14, 25-19) in the semifinals and Pflugerville Connally (26-24, 25-23) in the championship match.
Gatesville head coach Rickey Phillips never claimed his team's performance would silence any critics, but he admitted he thought his players put together an impressive showing.
"We knew the best competition all weekend would be today, and it was," Phillips said. "(Copperas Cove and Connally) are very athletic, and they present a lot of problems.
"I thought the kids handled both games pretty well. We try to keep things in perspective, play the way we can and not let (others) affect us too much."
At no point was such mentality more evident than midway through the second set of the championship match, when Gatesville (8-0 overall) rallied from a double-digit deficit.
Using an 11-2 run, the Cougars built a 13-3 lead and appeared to be en route to a match-tying victory, but the Hornets won 22 of the next 32 points, including 10 consecutive on the back of a string of kills from Cook, to clinch the tournament title.
"I'm not sure what got the ball rolling, but, from my standpoint, we wanted it," Chambers said. "I said, 'We are not going to lose the game,' and we just picked it up."
Earlier in the day, the Hornets defeated the Lady Bulldawgs with relative ease thanks to an active defense that frustrated the host team, especially in the first set as Gatesville constructed a 19-7 advantage.
"We just dug a hole really quickly, and we just mentally stepped out of the game," Copperas Cove head coach Cari Lowery said. "And we just didn't recover.
"As they get more experienced and (gain) a little more volleyball maturity, they'll be able to come back out of that."
In the second set, the Lady Bulldawgs held a 14-12 lead, but lost control as Gatesville won 13 of the match's next 18 points, including the final six, to advance to the championship round.
The loss sent Copperas Cove (6-2) into the third-place game against Plainview.
Despite falling into a funk against Gatesville, the Lady Bulldawgs responded, defeating Plainview 25-18, 25-15.
"We've got all the tools, we just have to work as a team," Lowery said. "When we played Gatesville, it was very much like six people on the court playing six different ball games.There was no cohesiveness, no flow to the game, but, in that last game, there was cohesiveness, and we were in control the entire time."
Along with teammate Cook, Gatesville senior Megan Chambers was named to the all-tournament team. Copperas Cove outside hitter Brittany Johnson was also placed on the all-tournament team.
Lady Badgers fall in Silver Division finals
Lampasas could not overcome a slow start against Austin Hyde Park, and it cost the Lady Badgers the Silver Division championship.
The Lady Badgers simply could not get on the same page as a number of players were forced out of their normal positions due to an absence, resulting in a poor performance early, according to Lampasas head coach Kecia Davis.
"It just took us too much time to kind of get going," the coach said. "In the first set, we were a little tentative, and we had a whole lot of unforced errors, and then in the second set, we started to play"
But it was not enough to mount a comeback as Hyde Park won 25-16, 27-25 to claim the title.
The loss dropped the Lady Badgers' overall record to 3-3, but Davis believes her relatively young and inexperienced team earned a moral victory it can build on by advancing to the championship round.
"To be the runner-up in our bracket is a huge accomplishment for these kids at such an early stage," the coach said.
Senior outside hitter Shayna Perry was named to the all-tournament team.

"To describe [the cholera outbreak in Haiti] is pretty difficult," said PIH Physician Evan Lyon on a recent interview on Democracy Now! "It's a terrifying—it's a terrifying situation. The economic and social conditions in Haiti have left Haitians vulnerable to any manner of infectious diseases that are endemic there—typhoid, TB, malaria, HIV. But this is new."
"There hasn't been cholera in Haiti for more than fifty years, so the population has little experience with it," Evan told host Amy Goodman. "Their immune systems have no exposure, which will help the disease spread more rapidly. And then, of course, nurses and doctors also have not seen this disease in several generations. So it's a terrifying situation, rooted... in the lack of infrastructure, lack of sanitation and clean water, which has been very clearly—very clearly slowed down and diminished by manipulation from the outside."

I recently came across this article by Daniel Grant on AFA News. It examines the controversial California resale royalties law. According to the law, contemporary art collectors, auctioneers, galleries and dealers are required to pay a 5% royalty to original artists upon resale of that artist's work. Amazingly, they are required to pay royalties to the artist's heirs if that artist has died within the last 70 years.
Several recent law suits have brought attention to the California law which is similar to one currently in effect in England and other parts of Europe. Even many contemporary artists feel that this law is unfair. Although it does not affect me personally, I feel very strongly that it is not fair. And now, two knuckle-head politicians have tried to introduce it on a federal level (read the article). Fortunately, It was not passed.
Lets think about this (California obviously didn't). Although I am a rabid supporter of the arts and agree with helping struggling artists wherever possible, this tariff does not help them. In Europe, only six percent of this bogus "fine" goes to living artists. The rest goes to their heirs and the entity that collects the fines. Those artists who benefit from the law are generally the ones who are doing okay, because their art commands a high price in the market place. The starving artist is still starving. Legislation can't help him, only patrons of the arts can.
Buyers who support the arts are doing just that. Supporting the arts. So we should penalize them if they profit on their investment? What about the patrons who feel so strongly about helping a particular artist that they continue to buy that artist's works even when they don't really need any more. It happens all the time. Lets fine them as well!
Buying and selling contemporary art has inherent risks. When you buy art, you risk that the market will go down. When you sell, you risk that the market will go up. If you are not willing to take the risk, don't make the transaction. Artist included. How about if I buy a contemporary artwork from a living artist for $10,000 and when I sell it 5 years from now, it only brings $2,000? Will that artist share in my loss? Should I send him an invoice for a percentage of my losses? What about the piece that my Father bought 50 years ago from an artist who is no longer living? If we sell it a for less than Dad paid, should I send a bill to the children of the artist? If I sold it for more, I would have to pay them! Are you kidding me California? Lets not take responsibility for our choices, but rather, lets insist on getting something that we have not earned. Perfect. What right does the Grandchild of an artist who has been dead for nearly 70 years have to take a piece of the profit from a risk that I take?
I think we should take it a step further. I've lived in the same house for 23 years. It is worth quite a bit more today than what I paid for it. Much of the home's value is the artistry and fine workmanship of the builder. I think when I sell, I'll pop a check in the mail to the Grandson of the builder. He'll like that.
Read the article and let me know what you think by leaving me a comment. Do you feel as strongly as I do?

I have just returned from the Winterthur 2012 Furniture Forum, where I lectured on the subject of northern clockmakers trading with the southern market during the 1st quarter of the 19th century. It was entitled "Clocks For Corn: Northern Clockmakers Trading With The South". The Forum was called "Furniture In The South: Makers & Consumers". It included two days of lectures and a fascinating field trip to Homewood Museum At Johns Hopkins University and Hampton National Historic Site. Both were well worth the trip. Add a tour of Winterthur's Southern Furniture Exhibit on Saturday and it became a four day event. The forum was very well attended and the speakers were excellent. We recorded my lecture which you can now watch on my website. Click Here. Most of the attendees were from the South, so I was one of the few Yankees on hand. We had a lot of fun teasing each other about our accents. The crowd was largely made up of museum professionals and collectors, but there ware also a number of auctioneers, private dealers and restorers.
