text: ArchiveIran charges US over military action A Tehran court has ordered the United States government to pay $1.2 billion in damages in connection with military actions against the Islamic republic in the 1980s, a report said on Wednesday. 03 Mar 2004 16:37 GMT Lawyers say US marines killed two Iranian 'martyrs' "We obtained a conviction against the American government to pay 400 million dollars for its part in the deaths on the martyrs Nasr Allah Shafiie and Nadir Mahdavi," lawyer Nassrin Niktash was quoted as telling the student news agency ISNA. "We have asked the foreign ministry to follow this dossier to obtain payment," he said. He said that Shafiie and Mahdavi were killed by US Marines in the 1980s, but the report did not elaborate. According to ISNA, the court also ordered the United States to pay $800 million to two Iranians who were "kidnapped" by US forces and "suffered damage," also without elaborating. Similar penaltiesThe verdicts come following a series of cases lodged against Tehran in US courts. The Islamic republic has been ordered to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in damages following 21 such lawsuits. In one of the most high-profile cases, a US court ruled last September that Iran had to pay more than $420 million to a dozen US victims of a 1997 bombing in Jerusalem carried out by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, which the court alleges is supported by Iran. In March 2000, a US federal judge ordered Iran to pay $341 million to journalist Terry Anderson and to members of his family. Anderson, who had been Beirut bureau chief for the Associated Press, was kidnapped by another Palestinian resistance group, Islamic Jihad, and held for more than six years. Source: AFP

The Ideal of Equality
Matthew Clayton, Andrew Williams
Macmillan, 2000 - Philosophy - 230 pages
One of the central debates within contemporary Anglo-American political philosophy concerns how to formulate an egalitarian theory of distributive justice which gives coherent expression to egalitarian convictions and withstands the most powerful anti-egalitarian objections. This book brings together many of the key contributions to that debate by some of the world's leading political philosophers.

Artist: Fra Angelico (Guido di Pietro) (Italian, Vicchio di Mugello ca. 1395–1455 Rome)
Date: ca. 1420–23
Medium: Tempera on wood, gold ground
Dimensions: 25 1/8 x 19 in. (63.8 x 48.3 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Maitland F. Griggs Collection, Bequest of Maitland F. Griggs, 1943
Accession Number: 43.98.5
Dating some eighty years after Pietro Lorenzetti's Crucifixion (on view nearby), this exquisitely rendered painting further accentuates the drama of the scene by exaggerating the poses of the Virgin, now collapsed in grief, and the lamenting Marys, as well as the varied attitudes of the Roman soldiers and their horses. But the medium of tempera painting could not begin to approximate the sense of realism that Van Eyck achieved in his figures, especially their expressions, and naturalistic settings through his singular technical skill in oil painting.

Annual Farm Tour a success
This week, I held my annual Farm Tour where I visit farms in the 16th Congressional District to keep in touch with the agricultural community. On Tuesday, I visited Luke Brubaker's farm in Mount Joy. The Brubaker farm is unique in that it is completely self-sustaining for the power needed to operate the farm. They use an innovative process that actually turns cow manure into electricity, by using an anerobic digester to break down the manure. As the manure is broken down, methane is released, which is then captured and burned in a generator to create electricity. In fact, the process produces more energy than the farm needsthe rest is sold back to the power grid, providing nearly 300 homes with electricity in the process. The waste that is leftover when the digesters are done is no longer waste. It is actually cleaner than saw dust, and the farm uses it as bedding for its animals. On Wednesday, I visited Norman Laffey's farm in Cochranville. It's a brand new 1,300 cow dairy farm with state of the art equipment. He was hosting an open house with a couple of hundred people there. I was pleased to be able to stop by for a tour and speak with people in the agricultural community about their thoughts and concerns.
Congress plans extra session to spend more money
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced this week her intention to bring Congress back after the election for a "lame duck" session to take advantage of the economic crisis to pass a multi-billion dollar pork barrel "stimulus" bill. Though initial reports indicated it could be cost $150 billion, newspaper stories later in the week reported it could be closer to $300 billion. The bill would do little to help reduce the cost of energy or create an environment that allows businesses to create jobs. It would simply fulfill long sought Democratic special interests. The $300 billion will be on top of the $700 billion Congress just authorized as part of the financial bailout legislation.
Voter fraud on the taxpayer dime
ACORN, the left-wing advocacy group under investigation in nearly a dozen states for claims of voter registration fraud has received at least $31 million in federal funding from various federal agencies in the last decade. The group is under investigation by the FBI for a "coordinated national scam" of voter registration fraud. One of the grants to an ACORN affiliate was a 2007 award to ACORN Associates Inc. of Albuquerque, NM, titled "Education and Outreach Initiative/Subprime Lending Component," which appears to facilitate and encourage risky subprime loans, the same loans that many acknowledge as a contributing factor in the credit crisis.
Good news for families seeking adoptions
This week, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), announced a new policy that will help parents who have been trying to adopt children from abroad. The policy change will allow parents who began the adoption process prior to April 1, 2008, to continue moving forward without starting over. I had been urging USCIS to make the important change. Due to unforeseen delays in international adoptions, if a change in the USCIS policy had not been made, families who had begun the application for adoption before full enactment of the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of International Adoption (Hague Adoption Convention) would have been forced to start the long process over again and re-apply under the Hague approved process. Prospective parents will still need to turn in an application that will bring their adoption in line with the Hague Convention, but they will not need to start over again, a prospect which would have cost a great deal of time and money.
Quote of the Week
"The American people are hurting. But they're not asking for pork-barrel spending masquerading as stimulus.' They're asking for reforms that create jobs, lower energy costs, and let them keep more of their own paychecks."
--Republican Leader John Boehner, in an op-ed appearing in the National Review.

As far as television goes I like absurd comedies like early season The Simpsons, MTVs The State (from the early 90s) for recent comedies Portlandia, East Bound and Down, Arrested Development don't really watch much broadcast television but if you're really into 30 Rock or Community you won't have to twist my arm to get me to watch it with you.
I really prefer intense dramas of the HBO post-modern variety where main characters actually might die. Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, Sopranos and Treme are great.
Also really weird out there documentaries fascinate me. Things like The Wonderful and Wild Whites of West Virginia, Life on the Mesa, Dark Days and most of the journalism videos on www.vice.com
For food I like a good steak but can enjoy vegetarian cuisine as well. Really not crazy about most fake meat so if you're a vegetarian lets just make meals that are supposed to be made with vegetables instead of faking meat. Sushi is great, Vietnamese Pho Soup is a favorite and I'll never turn down a good falafel. I guess here is a good place to mention I like to sample lots of quality micro-brew beers and I'm a bit of a coffee snob.
Huge collection of music w/ decent speakers.
Being able to get in touch with friends and family when I need them.
What's that song stuck in my head.
What crazy awesome people I haven't met yet, but will. (you could be one of those!)

Productivity gains, technology spillovers and trade: Indonesian manufacturing, 1980-96
The importance of R&D spillovers for productivity growth has been well documented in the literature. While studies in the developed country context have focused extensively on sectoral linkages, research on North-South spillovers has largely been confined to the aggregate level. This paper assesses the contribution of international R&D spillovers to manufacturing performance in Indonesia at the sectoral level. Drawing on OECD and Indonesian data sources, we consider two distinct phases: a phase characterised by intense policy regulation (1980-87), followed by a phase of liberalisation and reform (1988-96). Our results indicate that international technology spillovers made a significant contribution to the performance of Indonesian manufacturing, especially after liberalisation. The contribution of technology spillovers to productivity change is influenced by sectoral characteristics and industrial market structure.

text: Now, I will turn the call over to Rick for a recap of the disk drive components division first quarter.Rick Penn Thanks Wayne. During our fiscal 2012 first quarter we shipped $89.3 million to suspension assemblies, which was down 30% from $127.4 million in the preceding quarter and in line with our guidance. The decline resulted from flood related capacity constrains at our customers. We believe that our competitors also experienced declines in their volume and that we maintained our overall market share we had approximately 20%. Thanks to the efforts of our employees here in the U.S. and abroad we've been able to leverage the existing capacity of our vertically integrated U.S. operations to meet customer's needs. This available capacity also positions us well to respond to increased demand as the industry recovers. For the fiscal 2012 first quarter our mix of product shift was as follows suspensions for 3.5- inch ATA applications decreased 56% sequentially and accounted for 35% of our shipments compared with 55% in the preceding quarter. Shipments from mobile applications increased 11% sequentially and accounted for 42% of our shipments up from 27% in the preceding quarter and shipments for enterprise applications decreased 9% sequentially and accounted for 23% of our shipments, compared to an 18% in the preceding quarter. These changes in our product mix were a result of the flood related capacity constraints at our customers and caused our average selling price to increase from $0.58 in the preceding quarter to $0.60 in the fiscal 2012 first quarter. Our first quarter shipments TSA+ suspension assemblies decreased 39% sequentially to $47 million and accounted for 52% of our shipments, down from 60% in the preceding quarter.

Van Gaal in Neuer admission
Bayern Munich boss Louis van Gaal has admitted his interest in signing Schalke keeper Manuel Neuer.
By Pete O'Rourke - Follow me on Twitter @skysportspeteo
Last Updated: 01/03/11 5:41pm
Bayern Munich boss Louis van Gaal has admitted his interest in signing Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Van Gaal has stoked the fires ahead of Bayern's German Cup semi-final with Schalke on Wednesday by declaring his interest in the Germany international.
Highly-rated keeper Neuer has been continually linked with a move to Bayern with the player establishing himself as one of the best young shot-stoppers in Europe.
Youngster Thomas Kraft is currently No.1 keeper at the Allianz Arena, but Van Gaal would be happy to have Neuer on board to provide competition at the club.
"I think we could do with Manuel Neuer," Van Gaal told Bild. "A top team needs two top players in every position - in goal is no different.
"If Kraft can not accept this, then I recommend he leaves."
Neuer has shrugged off Van Gaal's comments as mind games ahead of the cup semi-final meeting between the two sides.
"That is only a little trick before the semi-final," noted Neuer.

Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor who are currently living in together were spotted at a family dinner with the Kapoor Khandhan on April 11 in Mumbai.
Ranbir's dad, Rishi Kapoor may have been missing from the scene but the rest of the family was spotted, grandmother Krishna Kapoor, mother Neetu Singh, uncle Randhir Kapoor, sister Riddhima Kapoor and cousin brother Aadar Jain.
From the looks of this get together, Katrina's bonds with the Kapoor family only seem to be strengthening more and more. And guess what, if sources are to be believed then the couple will be making their debut at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
The couple looked great together, with matching attires of jeans and blue shirts. They will be soon seen together on screen in their upcoming movie Jagga Jasoos.
Professionally Ranbir Kapoor will have a release before that, Bombay Velvet in which he stars opposite Anushka Sharma, with whom he is pairing up for the very first time.
Katrina Kaif on the other hand has Fitoor with Adiya Roy Kapur, another new pairing we will get to see on screen soon. While the professional life is going well, check out the pics of their personal life, which seems to be going even better.
Ranbir Kapoor-Krishna Kapoor
Ranbir Kapoor is seen helping his grandmother Krishna Kapoor when they all headed out for family dinner at the Royal China.
Ranbir Kapoor is seen with his mother Neetu Singh in this picture. A lot of Kapoor family members were spotted.
Katrina Kaif
Katrina Kaif too was present at her beau's family dinner. She seemed to get along well with the entire family.
Randhir Kapoor were also spotted at his dinner and from the looks of it, everybody have accepted the Kaif girl into the Kapoor Khandhan.
Riddhima Kapoor
Ranbir Kapoor's sister Riddhima Kapoor and cousin brother Aadar Jain were also also seen at this get together.

Controversial gospel singer SBJ was you musician before the release of his song 'Yesu Nipe Nyonyo'. However, the singer became an instant hit, not to mention an overnight online sensation immediately after releasing the video to his controversial song, 'Yesu Nipe Nyonyo' which was thoroughly criticized by Kenyans both on social and mainstream media.
However, SBJ recently came out to defend his song and named the person responsible for his online trolls and quandaries. In a candid interview with a local entertainment magazine, SBJ said there was absolutely nothing wrong with his song and went ahead to accuse NTV Wicked Edition's host Dr .Kingori of his quagmire, claiming the comedian was the one who initially played the song on his show, opening up room for a great deal of hullabaloo.
''I released Nyonyo in November 2013.I have never pushed it, just uploaded on YouTube and that was that. But it was after Dr. Kingori played it on his comedy show on a local TV station that the hullabaloo started .I am still surprised by the response though.'' He said.

ok this may sound silly
can you still get pregnant while on the mini-pill? I just stopped nursing my son about 2 months ago and i'm still on the mini-pill because my dr didn't want me to be on the regular pill while breastfeeding. Well lately my cycle has been almost non-existant (spotting here or there) and i've always been extremely irregular. I missed one pill the other day, and i've started noticing my weight has gone up a little and my cycle hasn't started all month long. Should I be worried. (Regular EPT's do not work for me)

Novelist Savors Link to Broadway
By C. GERALD FRASER
Published: November 17, 1990
"I was passing by the Booth Theater," Rosa Guy said the other day, "and 'Once on This Island' is up there on the marquee. I said, 'My God!' and then I thought, 'I deserve it.' " Ms. Guy, whose name rhymes with "key," is clearly enjoying the limelight that comes with being associated with a Broadway musical. But, she said, as a grandmother of five who confesses to being "well past 50" and who has written 15 novels and one play, she feels the recognition is long overdue.
Ms. Guy's 1985 novel, "My Love, My Love, or the Peasant Girl," which took first prize at a festival in Cabourg, France, in 1988, was the basis for the musical "Once on This Island," which has just opened at the Booth Theater after a highly successful premiere Off Broadway at Playwrights Horizons.
Chatting with a visitor in her home, a three-room suite in a residential hotel on the Upper West Side, Ms. Guy said she was delighted with the adaptation: "They held to the story line quite a bit. The book is a lyrical book, and the production is poetry on stage."
A Transplanted Fairy Tale
Ms. Guy, who was born in Trinidad, based her novel on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Little Mermaid," but she transplanted the story to a Caribbean island setting "to give the moral of the story in my terms." The story, as adapted for the stage by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, concerns the doomed love affair between a peasant girl, Ti Moune, and an aristocratic mulatto, Daniel Beauxhomme.
"The moral," Ms. Guy continued, "is that there are barriers that people, regardless of whatever they want, cannot bridge. Even in human terms. The mermaid couldn't bridge the difference between living in the sea and living on land. And in 'My Love, My Love,' the peasant couldn't bridge being a peasant in the bush and coming out and living in a real upper-middle-class environment."
Since the publication of her first book, "Bird at My Window," in 1966, Ms. Guy has supported herself by writing. With publication, she happily abandoned the brassiere factory that had sustained her and her young son and began, she said, "to put most of my time into writing."
Of the 14 books she has written since, several are serious novels for young adults. "Ruby," for example, published in 1976, dealt partly with the lesbianism of two high school girls at a time when most books for high school girls ignored the subject.
The best reception for her work has come in England. Her 1983 novel, "A Measure of Time," made the best-seller list of the English educational and noncommercial press. And she wrote a documentary film for Thames Television about writing her novel "The Friends." That book, "Edith Jackson" and "Ruby" form a trilogy about two adolescent girls growing to womanhood in Harlem.
Denying Brutishness
Assessing Ms. Guy's work, Wilfred Cartey, a poet and the Distinguished Professor of Africana and Urban Studies at City College, said her writing had "a sensitivity and a sentimentality which denies the brutishness of the world around." He also praised her ability to "soften scenes and lighten the harshness of reality" with "some form of promise and possibility."
Most of Ms. Guy's books remain in print. Among her other works are "Children of Longing," "The Disappearance," "Time Out in Haiti," "Summer of 1985" and "Mirror of Her Own." Her novels express a profound faith in women. "I believe in the strength of black women in Africa, in the West Indies and all over the United States," she said. "There is a nurturing quality about women that makes them rise to occasions that men don't do, generally."
Her characters are black Americans, West Indians and, as she describes herself, West Indian-Americans. "I don't write as a West Indian writer," she said, "and I don't write as an American writer, either. I write as a West Indian-American writer. I write about a certain people; but I just want to be universal."
Ms. Guy did not start out to be a writer. As a young woman, she was attracted to acting by the success of the play "Anna Lucasta," which had come to Broadway in 1944 with an all-black cast. She enrolled in acting classes sponsored by the American Negro Theater but soon withdrew and wrote a play, "Venetian Blind." Shortly thereafter she switched to writing novels because, she says, she felt she had a lot to say.
Enjoying a Verbal Joust
Her family emigrated from Trinidad, then a British colony, to New York when she was 7 years old. Within a few years both parents had died and she and her sister were alone in a new world. "I was like an orphan in New York," she recalled, "an orphan in the streets. A cousin who was a Garveyite took me to meetings -- my first poem was related to Marcus Garvey."
She said: "I was always there, in Harlem, listening to the speeches. Africa became my thing -- and what was happening to black people in the United States."
Over the years, Ms. Guy sometimes played back variations of those speeches among her acquaintances and gained a reputation as a woman who enjoyed a verbal joust. "They're right," she said. "I used to always get so angry, I used to battle and it was fun." She would challenge fellow writers about the social issues in their work.
"I used to argue all the time," she said. "Then I found that people don't like to argue anymore; when I came into a room people would get quiet. So I would just leave them, sit in a corner, sip my cocktail and come home and write. I think that writers who just don't want to talk about issues and really fight about issues are losing out."
Not to be misunderstood, she added: "I don't write the angry novel and I don't give the angry speech. Writing is about knowing, knowing people deeply."

text: Animal Industries (New, Developing and Maturing) HomeResearch ProgramsAnimal IndustriesAnimal Industries (New, Developing and Maturing) Program Overview Overview New, developing and maturing animal industries play an important part in the Australian agricultural landscape. In addition to contributing to Australia's economy, they provide alternative enterprises and, in some cases, tourism and eco-benefits. Some could grow into major industries. The Rural Industries R&D Corporation's Animal Industries (New, Developing and Maturing) Program covers around 40 animal species and includes industries that are relatively new – such as farmed rabbits and ostriches; and small industries that are more established – such as game birds and angora goats. The Program includes both levied and non-levied industries. The objective of the Program is to conduct research, development and extension (RD&E) for new, developing and maturing animal industries that contribute to the profitability, sustainability and productivity of regional Australia. A wide range of industries fall within the program. Four of these (buffalo, deer, fibre goat and kangaroo) have statutory levies while a fifth, alpaca, makes an annual voluntary contribution to RD&E through its industry association. The remaining industries do not have a levy or voluntary contribution arrangements. The new and developing livestock industries (including aquaculture) which were examined for development of the Animal Industries – New, Developing and Maturing Five Year RD&E Plan 2013-2018, had an estimated gross value of production of $346 million in 2011-12, and they earned export revenue of around $217 million (M Foster, 2013). In comparison, the annual value of all Australian livestock products in 2011-12 was $21.2 billion. Some of the industries have the potential for significant growth. The new and developing industries also provide alternative enterprises for some farmers and make a valuable contribution to rural communities not only from a primary production perspective but also, in some cases, through tourism and eco-benefits. There are several industries where the largest barriers are commercial rather than technical and cannot be addressed by projects that fall within the definition of research and development. These barriers include lack of processing facilities, orderly marketing arrangements, scale or access to markets. For some industries, especially non-levied industries (dairy sheep and goat, marron, rabbit, redclaw and potentially crocodile), the problem is not lack of demand but lack of commercial supply. The Program covers the following industries: Alpaca, Buffalo, Deer, Fibre goat, Kangaroo, Crocodile, Dairy goat and sheep, Duck, Emu, Game bird, Marron, Mulloway, Rabbit and Redclaw. Program Aim To conduct RD&E for new and developing animal industries that contributes to the profitability, sustainability and productivity of regional Australia. R&D Plan The Five-year Plan for the Animal Industries (New, Developing and Maturing) Program identifies opportunities to enhance industry performance through the conduct of RD&E. While many may require industry-specific investigation (e.g. nutrition, disease, husbandry for a particular species), there are a number of issues that present impediments or opportunities to more than one industry. These issues could be addressed in a cross-industry manner, providing benefit to several industries and enhancing the value of RIRDC's investment.

Most of us know how to adjust our conversation according to the experience level of our audience. Unfortunately, we tend to only speak to one audience through a web site, which can alienate the others. Recently I had occasion to review several dozen Web sites in one industry -- camera stores. I found this eye-opening, as an unfortunate pattern emerged that I believe holds true not only on the Internet but also in paper-based marketing materials, and applies to many professions. First, some background.
 Most of us, particularly those who regularly deal with a wide swath of the public, know how to adjust our conversation according to the experience level of our audience. If someone asks to see a particular camera, a retailer explains it differently, depending on whether the person seems to know as much as he does about cameras, or next to nothing. An oncologist explains the same case of cancer differently to the patient than to the patient's doctor.
 On paper and on the Web, however, we tend to orient our promotional material to just one kind of audience and only one level of sophistication. If we do this strategically, great. If we make a conscious choice to target one audience rather than another, because the former accounts for higher profits, terrific. But that's not what I saw at the camera store sites.
 For beginners, people who don't know much about a product or service, it's a huge mistake to lead with detailed product information. Too much APS 505 AiAF f/2.8 2x overwhelms when I'm wondering whether a digital, 35mm or disposable point-and-shoot camera would fit my needs. Beginners need helpful guidance that takes their goal as the starting point. Questions and answers and products recommended for specific purposes may work best for this audience so long as the descriptions use laypersons' vocabulary.
 Enthusiasts, people who love spending money on their hobby, respond well when invited to adventure farther or deeper and meet new challenges in pursuit of their favorite pastime. Activities such as clinics and outings for wildlife photography, sports shots or photojournalism capture the imagination of this group -- and get them to spend more money. Since this segment loves exchanging tips and sharing their passion, an online discussion group and an email newsletter containing picture-taking techniques would earn their devotion to a Web site.
 Finally we get to the geeks, the experts, the pros, who usually have a rough idea of what they want and might be narrowing down the field to one or two models or manufacturers. They're the ones that all that APS 505 AiAF f/2.8 2x speaks to. I doubt very much they represent the majority of camera buyers, or that they bring a merchant the greatest profit, since they're probably skilled comparison shoppers. Nearly all the sites I looked at mainly appealed to geeks. And I think this was unintentional, due to the camera store owners belonging to this category themselves.
 Don't pick out one audience only unless that's your strategic choice. By combining approaches on your Web site, or on a brochure or sales sheet, you can lasso all levels of customers -- beginners, enthusiasts and geeks.

Tips for setting boundaries with Pre-Schoolers
Having just recently moved, we have been presented with the need to re-defind the rules for our kids. A new house means new places they can and can't be. What are your best tips for setting and enforcing rules for younger kids?
walk the boundaries with them and when playing with them be sure not to cross the boundaries (at least at first). just a thought. i havnt actually had to do this myself
I haven't done this yet so I'd like to know what moms do. I know with the dogs it only took a few times to shut a door then they just weren't interested in a certain room anymore.. but I doubt it's that easy with kids :)

The plot of the morality play set in motion by the United Kingdom's announcement of a 50% tax on bankers' bonuses has now taken form. And it is a play that holds an important lesson about how politicians are managing – or mismanaging – demands for financial reform.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, once at odds over Sarkozy's criticism of Anglo-Saxon capitalism, have reconciled: predictably, France followed Britain with a bonus tax of its own. Equally predictably, the UK banking community responded by playing the "we'll take our marbles and go home" card ("home" meaning New York, Honk Kong, Zurich – anywhere but London). A Bank of England executive then responded with the "good riddance" card, saying that, "given the costs of carrying that financial system around, it may be a price worth paying."
Now that the story is clear, it is useful to take a step back and view the events from a strategic perspective. For, if the players in this drama are not currently acting strategically, they will end up doing so, and it is useful to see where that will lead.
Consider first the structure of the British bonus tax. It is levied on the banks, which are free to pay both bonuses and the resulting tax. Moreover, it is a one-time tax, expiring in April. In essence, the UK has imposed less a tax than a fine for the banks' arrogance in ignoring public anger.

I'm not exactly sure Gunsmithing is the right forum. It could be construed as political, considering recent legislation omitted nail guns but not others, so I wasn't sure if Club House was would have been right either.
LOL! What's the MSRP on that thing? :D Do you think I could pick one up at my logal Home Depot?

Obama is now saying this recession could last for years, will cause double digit unemployment, and cause $1 Trillion drop in GDP.
In other words, his policies and "stimulus" will not work.
But since the liberal mindset cares more about "doing something" and accomplishing anything, he will not be criticized by any of his own.
He's lowering the expectations of his adoring fans so when they are clustered around the trash fire in the garbage can on the street corner 4 years from now wondering why Obama did not pay their mortgage, he'll be able to justify himself.
And all this suffering AFTER he's taken and spent a bloated "aid package" worth of our money.
However you look at it though, his election was a breakthrough to all the old Democrats who couldn't stand the sight of a black person anywhere but bending in front of a shoe shine stand:
The consensus… is that Obama's election at least shows that race barely matters to most people when they pick a leader. In the vanguard of that change are people under 40. They grew up in an America where people of color were routinely part of daily life – at schools and shops, and at sporting and social events.

Why the outside's in
GEOGRAPHY IN THE SCHOOL GROUNDS. By Ralph Hare, Christine Attenborough and Trevor Day. Southgate pound;8.99
Want to make more use of your playground? Harvey McGavin offers some Tarmac tips
May Day is a traditional excuse to hang out the bunting and dance around a maypole. But today is also School Grounds Day - the fourth annual celebration of the world outside the classroom window. It's also a reminder that playgrounds and playing fields are not just for sports days and fetes but can be an all-year-round addition to a school's resources.
School Grounds Day is organised by Learning through Landscapes, the national charity that promotes the educational and environmental use of a school's surroundings. Last year more than 1,500 schools took part.
LTL's message is that school grounds, whether they're green and spacious or grey and covered in Tarmac, are a learning opportunity waiting to happen. After their own homes and gardens, a school playground is probably the second most familiar outdoor space in children's lives, so how they relate to that environment and what they learn from it can shape their ideas about the outside world.
Simon Lewis, LTL's school grounds officer for Greenwich, was taken on by the charity last year - along with another officer in Hackney - and given the job of cultivating creative use of school grounds in two of the capital's least verdant areas.
It's a challenging job and his first impressions of the borough's playgrounds gave him an indication of the task in hand. "Like many school playgrounds, they were predominantly asphalt," he recalls. "Some of them looked pretty much like prison yards - featureless and windswept. There was little evidence they were used for teaching at all."
He has been canvassing the opinion of staff and pupils at 12 pilot schools ever since, helping to set up projects and putting them in touch with landscape gardeners and architects. He says making better use of an unpromising patch needn't cost the earth.
Cheap solutions - designating areas for ball games, painting murals on the walls or games on the ground - can quickly transform an urban yard. The basics - seating, shelter and shade - can be added relatively cheaply. And the great British weather shouldn't be a deterrent, he says.
"Unless it's chucking it down, children will be outside. Children spend about a quarter of their school day outside and you can make the playground a friendlier and more hospitable place throughout the year."
LTL's School Grounds series shows how to deliver aspects of the key stage 1 and 2 curriculum while brightening up neglected schoolyards. "Almost every subject can be taught in school grounds," the publicity claims, and this series sets out to prove it. These two new titles, covering arts and geography, add to those tackling maths, science and English with PE and history in the pipeline.
These books are packed with ideas and case studies which, with a little imagination, can be adapted to most school sites. Geography might seem naturally suited to using the school grounds, but, as a 1994 Office for Standards in Education review of the subject found, "more opportunities should be taken for investigative and fieldwork in the school grounds".
The guide suggests map-making as a starting point. It's a difficult concept for young children to grasp, but plotting the familiar contours of their playground can ease the task.
The skyline, land use, traffic flows, and the weather can all be studied on the school site, and painting paths of coloured footprints, mazes, signposts, compasses and maps can help children find their bearings, keep them entertained and teach them something.
Arts in the School Grounds shows there is more to outdoor arts classes than pressed flowers and crayon rubbings. Making totem poles - carpet warehouses will usually let you have the inner rolls for free - and building dens can lead to a project on tribes, for example. And reviving old customs such as beating the bounds can add to children's sense of pride and belonging. Getting children involved in designing, decorating and using their play areas can also reduce vandalism.
If all else fails, you could call in the professionals. Learning through Landscapes keeps a database of artists who work in schools, and a one-day workshop or consultation can be the catalyst to greater things.
These guides would be a useful fillip to a newly-qualified teacher. But all teachers will find ways of sprucing up familiar landmarks and adding new ones. And by taking advantage of a sunny day, you can rejuvenate well-worn areas of the curriculum, making for healthier, happier children.

Obama says Beyonce is the perfect role model
Barack Obama says the singer is a great role model for his daughters as A-listers attend a fundraiser for the US President.
Beyonce and Jay-Z played host to a fundraiser for US President Barack Obama in New York and helped raise $4 million for the American leader's re-election campaign.
When Obama took to the stage he joked that his wife Michelle and two daughters Sasha and Malia were upset that they couldn't attend the event before paying the 'Crazy In Love' stars a compliment.
'To J and B, thank you so much for your friendship,' the President declared. 'Beyonce could not be a better role model for my girls.'
