Commercial Theatre Claim Newsletter November 2014
12 November 2014
This year is an important year for artists working across commercial theatre, as we renegotiate the Equity agreement for all artists working in the sector outside of the West End of London - including most regional tours, pantomimes and a number of non-West End producing houses.
Our claim has been put together after extensive consultation with all artists who have worked on it over the last three years, compiled by a working party of experienced members from the sector – working performers and stage managers who serve on Equity committees and as deps on shows across the country.
Our claim has a straightforward purpose – to set minima that represent what producers can afford to pay. The bigger the show, the bigger the producer, the more that should be returned to the artists involved.
We've also heard loud and clear that subsistence and touring allowance is no longer meaningfully contributing to the costs of artists on tour or coming to London to rehearse. Along with proposing a restructure to end unfair clauses like the reduction in touring allowance to subsistence after four weeks in a venue, and a significant rise of around 20% in touring allowance, we're proposing that subsistence rises to match the rate of touring allowance in every case.
These are your proposals, proposals to make your working lives better and fairer. However, the managers will make their claims of us, and we need to defend existing terms as much as make claims to improve them.
We know that not every proposal of ours will be agreed – and we know that all will meet with resistance. Commercial producers won't write us a blank cheque, which is why we need you standing up in support of our claim.
Encourage non-members to join our union and stand with us to make our voice louder, and watch out for the newsletters which will keep you updated as to where we are.

When: Today, 5 p.m. Where: Cal State Fullerton.
Outlook: A rematch of the San Diego Section championship game won by Bishop's 71-63.

Studevent, Northwestern signee Inga Orekhova and the rest of the Knights will face a determined Mater Dei team led by Jhazmine Lynch, Ebone Henry and Soulijah Evans, who scored 28 points in a regional semifinal win over North Hollywood Harvard-Westlake. The survivor will become the section's lone state championship finalist.

Audubon police vehicle struck broadside while responding to call in DL
An Audubon police squad car was struck by another vehicle at a busy Detroit Lakes intersection Wednesday night while responding to a call.
The police vehicle, driven by Eric Hegna, was responding with lights and sirens to a call when hit was struck by a pickup driven by Diane Bellefeuille, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.
Bellefeuille, 50, of Detroit Lakes was driving a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado south on U.S. Highway 59. Her vision was obstructed by a semi stopped in a turn lane when she entered the intersection with U.S. Highway 10 and broadsided the squad car, which was traveling westbound, the State Patrol said.
Hegna, 41, of Audubon suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Sean Mork, 29, of Lake Park was a passenger in the 2007 Ford Explorer driven by Hegna. Mork was treated for his injuries and released.

Girardi won't commit to role for Soriano
Girardi won't commit to role for Soriano
The way Girardi sees it, there's no need to jump the gun.
"Look, I'm not saying what I'm going to do or what I'm not going to do," Girardi explained prior to the second game of a four-game series against the Rays. "The biggest thing is I have to get this guy healthy and know how he's throwing the baseball. If he's throwing the baseball the way that he's capable of, I've got a great thing going, because I have two guys that can do the same job. And that's a great problem to have."
That other guy is David Robertson, who made the American League All-Star team and has posted a 1.21 ERA while doing an admirable job filling in for Soriano as the eighth-inning man.
Before landing on the DL, Soriano had a 5.40 ERA and a 1.73 WHIP in 15 innings. He then struggled in his first Minor League rehab start on Tuesday night, giving up two runs on two hits while throwing 21 pitches in 1 1/3 innings for the Class A Tampa Yankees.
When asked on Thursday in Toronto if Soriano would be his setup man when activated, Girardi said: "Let's just see. Let's just get him back first."
Five days later, the manager's thoughts essentially remained the same.
"We have to see how he's throwing and how he's feeling before I can make any determination," Girardi said. "The big thing is we have to get him back healthy and throwing the way that he's capable of. We'll just see what happens. But we have to get him back first."
On the one hand, of course, are Soriano's struggles and recent injury, which included a serious setback. On the other, there's the fact that the Yankees gave him a three-year, $30 million contract to pitch the eighth inning.
Since Soriano has been out for more than two months, Girardi could work him back slowly before giving him the later innings. If Soriano struggles, then the decision to stick with Robertson as the bridge to closer Mariano Rivera may be an easy one.
But if both are pitching well?
"Right now, it's just hypotheticals -- my favorite," Girardi said with a wry smile.
"Let's make those decisions when I have to," he added. "Let's not make them tonight."
While also appearing in his first rehab game as a designated hitter for the Tampa Yankees, Eric Chavez, out with a bone bruise on his left foot, went 0-for-3 with a walk.
Girardi said that neither Soriano nor Chavez would be ready for the Yankees' home series against the Athletics this weekend.

Even for the U.S. the only country of any consequence that maintains an embargo of Cuba the policy may be a fading reality, maintained primarily out of concern for the electoral clout of the anti-Castro lobby in swing states such as New Jersey and Florida. But public opinion may have swung the other way, with a Reuters survey in the spring finding two thirds of Americans opposed to the embargo. Moves to end it are growing ever bolder and more numerous: Washington has relaxed restrictions on direct flights to the island, and U.S. Chamber of Commerce president Tom Donohue and Illinois's Republican governor George Ryan have both made strong appeals last month to end the embargo, while Missouri GOP senator John Ashcroft is currently promoting a bill to ease restrictions on sales of food and medicine to Cuba. The Ibero-American summit will likely fuel the anti-embargo argument, since the event has clearly provided a boon for the anti-Castro opposition inside Cuba, and whatever kudos Castro has accrued from the arrival of foreign dignitaries has been tempered by their challenges to his human rights record. Comparisons with the U.S.-China relationship may become irresistible.
Havana Hoedown Confronts Both Castro and U.S.
Havana and Washington got their first glimpse Tuesday of what a post-embargo Cuba may look like. Fidel Castro donned a business suit to revel in the presence of the heads of state of Spain, Portugal and 14 Latin American countries at an Ibero-American summit on the once-isolated island. But many of his guests pointedly chastised the Cuban leader over human rights, and held meetings with the dissidents Castro had tried to keep under the carpet. In spite of that, the summit was clearly a diplomatic triumph for the aging Cuban strongman, because it represented an explicit repudiation of the embargo maintained by eight successive U.S. presidents. The summit's draft declaration in fact contains a strong critique of the Helms-Burton law by which the U.S. seeks to force other countries to uphold its embargo.

SHANGHAI, April 19 (UPI) -- Bob Socia, the head of General Motors in China, said the company would attempt to rev up sales of its luxury brand Cadillac in a market where sales are slow.
"With a refreshed SRX and a locally produced XTS and the right powertrain, we really expect it to start to take hold," Socia said Friday in an interview in Shanghai, where GM has its headquarters in China.
GM has about 100 Cadillac dealers in China and hopes to double that number by 2014. The company also has plans to launch four new Cadillac models in the Chinese market in the next four years, The Wall Street Journal reported.
China is GM's largest market. However, of the 2.8 million vehicles sold in China in 2012, only 30,000 were Cadillacs, the company's luxury brand.
Socia said GM is aiming at sales of 100,000 per year by 2015.
One issue that slowed sales: One of the first Cadillac models launched in China had a V-8 engine. That meant consumers were hit with a higher sales tax rate to which cars with large engines are subjected in China.
On the other hand, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said luxury brands now make up 8.5 percent of the sales in the country so the potential for increased Cadillac sales is there.

LONDON -- Rupert Murdoch and his son James first refused, then agreed Thursday to appear before U.K. lawmakers investigating phone hacking and police bribery, while in the U.S., the FBI opened an investigation into allegations the Murdoch media empire sought to hack into the phones of Sept. 11 victims.
Those two developments -- and the arrest of another former editor of a Murdoch tabloid -- deepened the crisis for News Corp., which has seen its stock price sink as investors ask whether the scandal could drag down the whole company.
Murdoch defended News Corp.'s handling of the scandal, saying it will recover from any damage caused by the phone-hacking and police bribery allegations. The 80-year-old told The Wall Street Journal -- which is owned by News Corp. -- that he is "just getting annoyed" at all the recent negative press.
He also dismissed reports he would sell his U.K. newspapers to stem the scandal, calling the suggestion "total rubbish."
A law enforcement official in New York said the FBI was investigating allegations that employees of News Corp. tried to hack into the telephones of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States.
News Corp. executives could be at risk of being found criminally or civilly liable under federal wiretapping and state privacy laws if investigators find that American citizens were targeted, analysts said. The company could also face

285 August 24, 1983 INCREASE THE IRA .ADVANTAGE INTRODUCTION Millions of Americans have taken advantage of the opportu nity to save through Individual Retirement Accounts IRAs since they were made available to all employees on January 1, 19
82. In that time, an estimated 20 to 25 million Americans have deposited anywhere from 30 to $50 billion as a retirement n est egg. Tens of millions of dollars more flow into banks, brokerage houses insurance companies, and other IRA trustees every week. This explosive growth in IRA savings has two important implications 1) it means Americans are seeking to build retirement s e curity using private savings 2) it may indicate the beginning of a significant increase in the personal savings rate, which would provide a major stimulus to capital formation and economic growth In contrast, the so-called Social Security reform package t h at Congress passed last spring was a short-term political solution to the system's problems. It failed to address Social Security's structural weakness--its attempt to fulfill the con flicting objectives of insurance and we1fare.l Said Congressman Bill Ar c her (R-Tex during the debate on the plan We have postponed once again the day of reckoning by transferring the burden of supporting the system's shortcomings to future genera tions." Not only that, the reforms1' reduced benefits and raised taxes for today ' s younger workers In other words, workers retirement incomes will be lowered, as it will be more difficult for them to save for retirement because their take-home pay will be reduced by increases in the Social Security payroll tax See Peter Germanis, "For $168 Billion, Only a Band-Aid for Social Security Heritage Foundation, Backgrounder No. 249, February 25, 1983. 2 Tax deductible IRAs offer Americans a savings vehicle to supplement the-dismal returns from Social Security, with many advantages over Social Security-higher return on contributions, immediate vesting, and freedom of choice. As such, the IRA system should be expanded as a supplement to, and perhaps even- tual voluntary replacement of, the Social Security system. For example, the ceiling on tax d eductible IRA contributions could be raised, particularly for nonworking spouses IRAs have a second function. They provide Americans with incentives to save savings could have potentially powerful effects on the nation's savings pool. Because the current tax code has so many features discouraging savings, expanding IRAs would help rekindle the desire to save.
Tax deductible IRAs already are a popular and powerful inducement to Americans to save for their retirement-and they take considerable pressure off the ailing Social Security system..
Congress should respond to these features of this new savings instrument by expanding and modifying the tax code wh ere it deals with IRAs, and thereby move toward the creation of a comprehensive private retirement income system Changes in the tax treatment of personal I BACKGROUND When IRAs were originally established under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act o f 1974 (ERISA they were avail- able only to workers not covered by any other pension plan. The Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 (ERTA) expanded the eligibility standards, making IRAs available to all workers under 70% years of age. The new legislation al s o raised the maximum annual tax deductible amount from the lesser of $1,500 or 15 percent of earned income to 2,000 or 100 percent of earned income, which ever is lower In addition, workers may deduct from their tax able income an additional 250 a year fo r an IRA contribution if they have a nonworking spouse.
This expanded IRA eligibility from 63.5 million to 111.4 million Americans, raised the annual maximum contribution by about a third, and thus increased the potential savings from 68.7 billion to $171. 5 billion.2 poweful effect. A New York Times/CBS News poll revealed that Americans invested about 30 billion in IRAs during the 1982 tax year, much higher than the $18.8 billion estimated by the These changes have had a fkeasury Depahent According five em ployed adults had opened to the poll, nearly one of every an account by early 1983-the Robin C. DeMagistris and Carl J Federal Reserve Bank of New York Palash, "Impact of IRAs on Saving,"

The primary sources of retirement income today, in addition to Social Security, are private pension plans and personal savings.
Social Security thus far has provided the highest return per dollar invested, but this is only because it is still in the I1start=up1l phase. The average retiree today receives about five times as much as he paid into the system, even after adjusting for a reasonable rate of return. But Social Security will not continue to provide suc h a generous return in the future As the system matures, economic conditions and demographic realities will make that all but impossible. Indeed, many of today's young workers can expect to receive less in benefits than they paid into the system, after adj u sting for the interest their contribu tions could have earned. Unfortunately for them, the I1reformif legislation passed by Congress this spring lowered this return still further 5 The uncertain future of the Social Security system means that the public m u st be encouraged to utilize alternate savings vehicles. Otherwise, America's senior citizens may find their retirement income jeopardized by the end of the century IRAs can play an important role in filling this void and are already beginning to do so. Ac cording to one New York tax lawyer, there Robert A. Bennett, "IRAs a Hit with Taxpayer," The New York Times, April 15, 1983, p. D1 A more recent study estimates that IRA deposits deducted on 1982 tax returns totaled $54.3 billion.
Institute, "1982 IRA Grow th Sets New Record June 8, 1983, p. 1 See Robert J. Myers, "Money's-Worth Comparison of Social Security Benefits," National Commission on Social Security Reform Memorandum No 45, August 12, 1982; Anthony J. Pellechio and Gordon P. Goodfellow Individual Ga ins and Losses from Social Security Before and After the 1983 Amendments," presented at a Cat0 Institute Conference on Social Security, June 6-7, 1983; and Rebuilding Social Security, Heritage Lectures 18 (Washington, D.C The Heritage Foundation, 1982).
Pe llechio and Goodfellow, op. cit See Employee Benefit Research 4 is a "surge in IRA account openings each time there is a scare about Social Security 1'6 ADVANTAGES OF IRAs Rate of Return An IRA-based pension system has several advantages over Social Secur ity. Private investments, for instance, can be expected to yield a much higher return than Social Security.
Most young workers today can look forward to about a 1 to 3 percent real return on their Social Security contribution Historically, this compares po orly with the returns available in the private sector. For example, between 1926'and June 30, 1983 a period including the Great Depression, World War 11, two other wars, and a period of severe inflation, the combined real rate of return on all stocks on t h e New York Stock Exchange was 6.4 percent.a While it can be argued that the stock market was more rosy in some years than in others it must be remembered that when the economy is weak, the Social Security system itself will be no more healthy than the sto ck market, since a weak economy slows down the growth in contributions.
Critics suggest that the risk involved in obtaining a 6 or 7 percent real return may be too great for a retirement port- folio, and that while the market as a whole may do wel1,'an ind ividual with limited investments may bear an extraordinary level of risk. But an individual-or rather the financial insti tution managing his IRA savings=-can greatly minimize this risk by diversification.
There are two types of risk in investing 1) the s ystema tic risk, which is a measure of how an asset's value fluctuates with the economy; and 2) the unsystematic risk, which is indepen dent of the economy. By building a market portfolio, investors can diversify to eliminate just about all risk except th e risk of the economy as a whole. Systematic and unsystematic risks will vary, depending on the type of security, but for a large number of common stocks on the New York Stock Exchange, the systematic risk has been estimated at one-quarter of the securityl s total risk.g According to widely accepted financial theory, just The Widening Choices in IRA Investment," Business Week, December 6 1982, p. 120 8 Robert Meyers, op. cit p. 5 Stocks, Bonds, Bills and Inflation," Quarterly Service, Vol. 1, No. 2 Chicago: R. A. Ibbotson Assoc., Inc., July 1983).
See Thomas E. Copeland and J. Fred Weston, Financial Theory and Corporate Policy, (Reading Mass Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, 1979 p 479 5 picking ten to fifteen securities at random will virtually elimi nate u nsystematic risk (or about 75'percent of the total risk).
Diversification, therefore, means that savers can avoid much of the risk associated with holding any one security.
Mutual funds are an effective and economical means whereby small investors can ta ke advantage of the professional advice and investment diversification available to wealthy individuals and financial institutitons. They allow thousands of investors to pool their resources in a fund that invests in a variety of equity and debt instrumen t s under the management of a profes- sional investment adviser. Not surprisingly, IRA investments in mutual funds had a five-year average rate of return from 1978 to 1982 of 17.1 percent, or 9 percent after adjusting for infla tion.1 In addition, young peo ple can invest in instruments promising fast growth, though at more variability and risk; and later, as they near retirement, they can shift these investments into safer havens, such as money market funds or the bond market.
These may offer lower returns, but they bring more stability and peace of mind IRAs, therefore, provide savers with flexibility to plan for retirement according to their age and financial situation.
Social Security, on the other hand, offers no such flexibility or choice. Savers run the risk of having their benefits reduced if the economy turns downward in the case of either Social Security or IRAs but it is unlikely that Social Security will ever ag ain provide the returns and benefit increases that were common in the early years of the program.
Portability Another advantage of IRAs is that they provide immediate portability and vesting find they are not in one occupation long enough to qualify for be nefits under a company pension plan. With an IRA, however individuals are immediately and fully vested, regardless of how many times they switch jobs their benefits without penalty at any age between 59% and 70S questions pertaining to the appropriate ret i rement age are largely rendered moot Workers who move from job to job often Since individuals can elect taking Unlike Social Security, people are not forced to purchase insurance they do not want or may never be able to collect. For example, an IRA does n o t require a single person to contribute to survivor's insurance he does not need. However, the law govern ing IRAs should be expanded to allow investments in life insur ance, so that married workers who desire such protection can purchase it through their IRAs. Nonworking spouses should also lo Employee Benefit Research Institute Individual Savings for Retirement A Closer Look March 1983, p. 4.
I 6 be allowed to invest a greater amount in IRAs, to put their benefits on similar footing with the spouse's ben efit in Social Security. These reforms would provide individuals even greater freedom to select the insurance protection best suited to their needs and desires'.
True Saving IRAs also offer savers a tangible form of wealth under their personal control. So cial Security, however, operates on a pay as-you-go basis and is based on the implicit promise that the young will pay taxes to support the old. This promise could be broken at any time, which becomes increasingly likely as the population ages and a heavi er burden is placed on the young.
Moreover, people have a heightened sense of ownership and take comfort in knowing that they will reap the full value of their savings. In the case of Social Security, however, public opinion polls indicate that most young workers believe that they will receive little or nothing from their taxes the payroll tax simply as a reduction in their wage. Explain economists Bernard M S. Van Praag and Peter A. B. Konijn They appear to view The difficulty with most Social Security pr e miums is that the worker is actually made to buy something (a kind of insurance) at a prescribed price. That can cause a lot of frustration, especially since younger people tend to be overoptimistic. Calamity is unlikely to strike them, and the time of th eir retirement is far off. Therefore, younger workers frequently measure their well-being by their net disposable income, for getting almost completely about the value they get for the money which is withheld for Social Security.
Consequently, any increase in Social Security premiums may well reduce the motivation to work, especially if the gap between the unemployment benefit and the net wage is not so large reaction will yield increased unemployment in the next period, resulting in a higher workers' prem ium level.

Because IRAs are subject to individual control, they avoid. these discriminatory aspects IRAS AND SAVING A second goal of the IRA provision in the 1981 Tax Act was Yet some to provide taxpayers with greater incentives to save ec o nomists believe that the surge in IRA investments has added little, if anything, to new savings, and that the increased contributions level merely reflects a shift from other savings instruments contention, nor is there any reason to believe this will be the case in the long run There is yet no solid evidence to support this Marginal Tax Rates Do Americans adjust their savings behavior to take advantage of changes in the available real after-tax rate of return?
For many years, most economists felt that sav ings are rela tively insensitive to changes in the real after-tax rate of return.15 More recent research, however, disputes this and shows l3 l4 l5 See "The Effect of the Social Security System on Black Americans Dallas, Texas: National Center for Policy Analysis, 1983 See Peter J. Ferrara, Social Security Reform: The Family Plan Washington, D.C The Heritage Foundation, 1982).
See Edward Denison A Note on Private Saving," Review of Economics and Statistics, 40 (1958), pp. 261-267 and E. Philip Howrey and Saul H. Hymans, "The Measurement and Determination of Loanable Funds Saving,"

It indicates that tax policy may well ha ve a power ful impact on the amount of savings.16 These are important find ings because the more responsive saving is to changes in tax rates, the more certain it is that high taxes on savings damage the savings rate.
If 1RAs.are to succeed in expanding s avings, they must reduce the marginal tax rate facing IRA savers has already saved over $2,000 in a year simply shifts part of his savings from another account to an IRA to gain tax relief, then the IRA probably will not stimulate extra savings. This is b ecause the after-tax rate of return on each additional dollar saved would be the same as it was before the existence of IRAs.
For such a person, the IRA merely provides tax relief for past not new, savings If a person who But IRAs do provide an added incen tive for those who save less than the maximum allowable amount, since in this case the tax rate on savings is reduced. Moreover, the account switching undertaken by some savers is likely to diminish over time, as they run out of funds that can be easily s h ifted to IRAs.17 And raising the current deduction ceiling would also mean that more taxpayers would find that the ceiling exceeded their usual annual saving, and they thus would find it a tax incentive to increase their savings Of concern to some economi sts and policymakers is the possi- bility that the tax deduction for IRA contributions might widen the federal deficit, thereby increasing Washington's borrowing requirements and diverting funds from private capital formation.
If the increase in total personal savings were less than the tax revenue lost due to the IRA deduction, then the extra funds government had to borrow could outpace new private savings. Even if.this were the case, however, it would likely be only a transi t ional problem. Moreover, any slight increase in the deficit be cause of IRAs would pale in significance compared to the one that may again face the Social Security system. Furthermore, encourag ing people to save privately for their retirement may begin t o take some pressure off the troubled Social Security system l6 See Michael J. Boskin, "Taxation, Saving, and the Rate of Interest,"

There is some evidence to indicate that such fund switching would exhaust 17 the pre-existing assets of most households in just a few years. See Martin Feldstein and Daniel F eenberg, Alternate Tax Rules and Personal Savings Incentives: Microeconomic Data and Behavioral Simulations National Bureau of Economic Research, Working Paper No. 681, May 1981 9 I I Tax Equity The impact and success of IRAs as savings incentives are sti l l undetermined. Nevertheless, they are important because they make the tax code more equitable. biased against saving, in the sense that both saved income and the earnings from those savings are taxed, while income used for consumption is only taxed once. There is thus double taxation when income is saved rather than consumed. IRAs and other tax breaks for saving reduce this discrimination in the tax code. Former Under Secretary of the Treasury for Tax and Economic Affairs Norman Ture notes that a prelimin a ry step toward tax neutrality would be to liberalize substantially the tax treatment of saving by expanding the limits on the deductibility of income invested in Individual Retirement Accounts, by provid- ing new tax credits or deductions for individual s a v- ings, as ste s toward eventually transforming the saving in all forms would be completely excluded while all returns to saving would be fully includedY Moving toward an expenditure base, or a so-called consump- tion tax, would have several advantages I t is more equitable to tax what Americans take from the economy than what they contri- bute to it in the form of new capital In addition, removing the double taxation of savings would mean that equally situated individuals would be treated more fairly. Cur r ently, two indivi- duals earning the same annual income may pay widely differing amounts in tax over their lifetimes, because of the tax penalty on savings. A consumption-based tax would treat present con- sumption and savings equally. ister because the t a x base would be more clearly defined and many of the The present tax system is present tax E ase into an expenditure base from which It might also be easier to admin roblems in measuring capital income would be elimi- nated B The primary advantage of a sh i ft to an expenditure tax is that it would increase saving. The disadvantage is that tax rates on consumption would have to be boosted somewhat to yield the same amount of revenue. The increase in savings resulting from a consumption tax, however, would in c rease capital forma- tion. While consumption initially might be reduced, the economy ultimately would grow faster. tion to exceed the level it otherwise would have reached under the existing income tax system. Similarly, the increase in This would allow f u ture consump Norman B. Ture, "Treasury," in Richard N.

Extra economic growth, moreover, would allow lower tax rates on consumption in the future.
The net effect would be a solid improvement in the nation's economy. As a re cent National Bureau of Economic Research study concluded: "Results indicate that sheltering more savings from the current U.S. income tax could improve economic efficiency even if the necessary marginal tax rate adjustments are made in order to maintain g overnment revenue RECOMMENDATIONS Current Leqislation There are many bills before Congress that would modify IRAs in one way or another. The most comprehensive is the ltSocial Security Guarantee and Individual Retirement Security Act S.541),I1 sponsored b y Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC It seeks to solve Social Security's long-term problems by guaranteeing Social Security benefits to existing retirees, issuing a retirement bond based on a workerls contributions, and encouraging workers to establish Individual R e tirement Security Accounts (IRSAs) in place of Social Security. To ease the transition, Helms suggests a phase-in period and proposes some reforms to the present Social Security system to lower the cost of transition and to make the existing program more equitable.
Other proposals expand the eligibility requirements for an IRA and raise the contribution ceiling. For example, H.R 3266 introduced by Congressman Tom Corcoran (R-Ill would raise the 2,000 ceiling to $5,000 in three steps. Several other bills wo uld increase the maximum deduction to $2,5
00. Other bills would increase the current $250 limit on a spousal IRA to the full 2,000 available for a working person. And there are proposals that would allow nonworking spouses to include the compensation of a working spouse as their own for the purpose of investing in an IRA The increasing popularity of the IRAs has prompted some legislators to offer bills that would use the IRA concept for purposes other than retirement. Senator Robert Dole (R-Kan for examp le, has introduced S.1489 on President Reagan's behalf.
This bill would permit nondeductible contributions of up to 2o Don Fullerton, John B. Shoven, and John Whalley, "Replacing U.S. Income Tax With a Progressive Consumption Tax: A Sequenced General Equil ibrium Approach NBER Working Paper No. 892, May 1982, p 26.

Proponents of s uch legislation argue that the purchase of a home and the payment of a child's tuition are essentially invest- ments for retirement. A special deduction for housing and educa tion, however, would distort their real cost relative to other goods and service s in the economy that must be purchased with after-tax dollars. A Mortgage Retirement Account, in particular would add another subsidy to the already heavily subsidized housing industry. It would imply tax support for consumption breaching the IRA principl e of shielding only savings from tax.
Needed=-A Super IRA IRAs can ease the transition toward structural reform of the Social Security system. legislative changes to 'make the present IRA system more compre hensive so that it becomes, in practice, a small- scale private Social Security system--supplementing federal Social Security This effort should begin with small The size and structure-of this "Super IRA" would be identi cal to the Social Security system. As the Social Security pay roll tax increased, fo r instance, the maximum tax-deductible contribution to an IRA would rise to the same cash level.
Similarly, the allocation. of an IRA between retirement income disability, and old age health insurance would be required to reflect the equivalent allocation of the Social Security tax.
Had these changes been in effect in 1983, individuals would have been allowed to invest up to $4,783.80 in an IRA, with a maximum of $3,409.35 for retirement and life insurance benefits 446.25 for private disability insurance, and $928.20 to save for health insurance during retirement strictions is primarily political. While in an economic sense the current allocation of money for the various types of insur ance may not be optimal, expanding the IRA system in this way would mak e it a mirror image of Social Security. Americans would be able to compare the two alternatives. As they gradually'became more familiar with the parallel private sector option, they would find it easier to compare the private and public alternatives when d e ciding which plan to use as their principal guarantee of security The reason for designing a ''Super IRA law with these re12 To facilitate the comparison between IRAs and Social Security, the Social Security Administration should establish an individual a c count for each person participating in the program and provide them with an annual statement showing how much they have paid into the system and what benefits they can expect to receive. through Social Security.

If the Social Security Adminis tration were unwill ing or unable to perform this task, it could be contracted out to private sector firms that already have the technology to make the necessary calculations.
CONCLUSION Since the 1981 Tax Act, IRA contributions and the number of contributors have soared. While it is still unclear how much new saving has been injected into the economy, one thing is certain: IRAs are extremely popular. Notes Wesley Howard, edito r of the IRA Reporter IRAs will become like the home mortgage interest deduction. No legislator would touch it. Right now, 25 percent of his or her constituents have IRAs. Revenue loss or no revenue loss, they're here to stay.1f21 Fortunately, it appears l i kely that over time, as workers run out of the money that can be shifted from their existing savings accounts, IRAs will become important instruments to boost savings. Moreover, increases in the ceiling on contributions to an IRA would improve their effec tiveness as a savings incentive.
IRAs constitute a real alternative to the crumbling Social Security system. Further expansion of the IRA system could secure a viable private sector alternative that should help individuals save for their own retirement an d alleviate their concerns over Social Security. Moreover, the expansion of tota savings resulting from such a reform would make more money avai able for capital formation and economic growth, which would benefit all Americans, not just the elderly.

The First time I tried the Sheath it was hard as hell to get everything in. I "highly" recommend being shaved if you are going to use this Product! Lots of the specialty Lube as well. Once I got the Sheath on I felt like a fucking machine, and I wore my Girlfriend out that night. It just gives you this feeling you can just fuck forever! Sometimes I will wear it at night and when I wake up with that Morning wood it feels even better! Excellent Price and not expensive to replace if you fuck the Sheath to shreds!

this thing looks awesome and i really want to try it out but before i buy it i have a question that maybe someone else writing a review can help me out with. it says the shaft is only 4.5 inches long and my penis flacid is about 4.5 inches long and when im erect its about 7.5 inches long and it says its 1.5 inches wide and my penis is a little over 2 inches wide so i guess my question is will it strech another 3 inches long and almost another inch wide? if someone out there can help answer my question it would be greatly appreciated and maybe my girlfriend and i can reward you wink wink ;)

These take a lot of getting used to getting on, if you are unshaved they are nearly impossible, but take a bit of time and use a bit of lube, cock first the none ball at a time and it is onn and will not slip off. What I like most is they reduce the senstion a bit for both parties. Women come more slowly and say the sheath feels completely different, but I like them best fucking a lad's ass. Last weekend I met a mate and his girlriend we spit roast her and then gave her a double fuck up the ass. I then move on to my 19 year old mate's ass and spent the next 2 hours reaming his tight hole. I came three times and no spunk leaked out, it just worked as more lube when I took the sheath off all three of us ate the cum, I am looking forward to drinking piss from it next time.

i purchased this exact sheath from a store in atlanta. Just be patient it will go on. You have to work at it. One reviewer really explained it well how to get it on. After a few times you really get the hang of it. Yes, mine tore at the base as well. The best thing I did was cut off the head so my penis could make it through the top. That is really a good improvement.

These things are great. I managed to get a split under the ring somehow (still don't know how) but the sensation is unreal. Try stretching the ring to help get your balls in, and watch out if you still have hair down there (can catch and pull). Have shagged in this, and it's like wearing a thicker condom, with an (sometimes useful) associated reduction in sensation. The chicks loved it as less mess ;) Have bought another one from another site, but it is tighter with a small ball sack so will be ordering another from here. Make sure you use a latex conditioner and at least powder the inside as after washing the latex can start sticking to itself.

Leon Smith ( Sept. 22 ) admits that President Obama is "an excellent speaker. However, this is accomplished by reading from a teleprompter."
The teleprompter has been utilized by political leaders and others since 1951, soon after the dawn of broadcast television. I recall reading during the Clinton presidency that his staff sometimes became very nervous when Clinton veered from his teleprompted text during an important speech, such as the State of the Union. Our president is called "the leader of the free world," and there is no room for a significant glitch during a major address.
Mr. Smith then tells us that there will be no teleprompters at the upcoming debates with Mitt Romney and that Obama will utter "numerous 'ahhs,' 'umms' and 'urrs.'"
I agree; so what? As I recall, Sen. Obama did fine debating Sen. McCain four years ago. But now, while Romney can be his usual motor-mouth self, President Obama's debate words shall be heard and read critically around the world. ...

Last week Buzzfeed, the hugely popular "viral" media site, went on a photo tour of DC's offices, including a slideshow that we now can't find that included shots of publicity VP David Hyde's office. EDIT: It was on CNET, that's why. Which was ironic, since early last week it was announced Hyde was leaving DC.
Well apparently, while on that tour someone held open the ultra-secret notebook of Watchmen art, which was handcuffed to Bob Wayne's wrist at the retailer summit week before last. Here's a bunch of concept art and stuff but not the "Rorschach's face in the clouds" page other alluded to.
We're not going to spotlight all the art except Amanda Conner and Lee Bermejo, Conner because she's the one who's sticking closest to the original, and Bermejo because he's quietly become one of the best mainstream artists working in the last few years with his Joker and Batman: Noel graphic novels.
Our opinion: this all looks like nice stuff. Very nice. Nice enough to sell your soul?
But see next post.
Meanwhile, Buzzfeed has also been made privy to "leaked"photos from the New 52 Second Wave.
How exactly are these "leaked" when someone stood there with the notebooks open? Is it like the moment in the adoption agency when the nice lady tells you she can't legally tell you who your birth parents are and then leaves the room with the file open on her desk? Did Buzzfeed use their secret spy glasses to take the pictures? Did David Hyde hold the book open before packing up his things?

A deputy contacted a male subject in the County Court parking lot for driving under restraint. The deputy observed the subject drive a car into the lot, and then park and make his way into the courthouse. Dispatch verified that the subjects license was revoked with two prior alcohol related convictions with additional bond conditions;he also had 6 additional actives currently in the system. He was placed in handcuffs and charged with driving while license under restraint/revoked with prior alcohol, and violation of bail/bond conditions. He was then escorted into the court room for his court appearance for a prior case. The deputy had also been the arresting officer in the prior case. After his court appearance, the subject was turned over to another deputy for transport to jail.
A woman came to the Sheriffs Office to report that someone had unlawfully entered her residence and had taken her two-month old black Schnauzer puppy. She had left at around 10 a.m., and left the dog inside her home. When she got home, she noticed that the screen door was wide open and the door unlocked. When she went inside she noticed that her outdoor cat was sitting on the counter, and that the cat had never been allowed inside the home. She also stated that there had been cash and jewelry in sight, but it had not been disturbed. She stated that she had rarely taken it outside, and that only a few people even knew about the dog, and she did not suspect that any of them would have taken it. The puppy had been given to her for free, and there were no papers associated with it. She was advised to check with the animal shelter in the event that someone may turn the dog in.
A deputy was contacted by a reporting party and a witness at the lobby of the Sheriffs Office. A man wanted to report the theft of a 1979 GMC truck he had purchased from a subject. The reporting party knew who had stolen it, as the person who had sold the truck to him on May 13 had gone to the DMV and applied for a duplicate of the title, and then pawned the truck at a local pawn business. After the trucks seller and the buyer had come to an agreement on price, the truck was towed, and the seller requested an initial payment of $500 to get the vehicle out of the tow lot. The buyer provided a check in that amount and at that time, the seller signed the title over to the buyer. The seller tried to get the truck from the tow yard, and became very agitated when they would not accept the check, saying (Expletive) Sheriffs, I am going to kill every one of them. The seller asked the buyer to provide another $500, which was also provided to him by check. Both checks were cashed and had been endorsed by the seller. The buyer decided to pick up the truck himself, and paid the tow yard $637.50 and provided a valid title for the truck, and had a friend drive the truck to a property to be picked up by the buyer. The seller was also paid an additional $960. The buyer was informed that the seller had shown up at the property, demanded the keys and taken the truck, after claiming that the buyer still owed him $300. He had been given the keys because of the violent history the seller is known for. An employee of the County Clerks office confirmed that the seller had come in and applied for and received a duplicate title for the truck. The deputy spoke with the owners of the pawn shop who confirmed that the seller had taken out a loan for $2,000, using the truck as collateral, ten days after he sold the truck. The seller had claimed that the buyer had paid him with a couple of bad checks, and that was why he was asking for a loan from them. The seller will be charged with aggravated motor vehicle theft and providing false information to a pawnbroker. Due to his violent history and his history of threats against all law enforcement personnel, a warrant has been sought for his arrest with a request for bond to be set at $100,000.
A deputy reported to a business for a report of theft. He spoke with employees who reported that a shovel, chains, and 800 gallons of diesel fuel had been discovered missing. The 6,000 fuel tank was still locked, and whoever had stolen the fuel had climbed on top and pumped out the fuel through the fill port. Due to the isolated location of the business, the only people who would have known what was in the yard would be employees or county workers who frequent the facility. The employee gave a description of a suspicious vehicle, a silver box-style older model Jeep Cherokee, that had approached the business while she was leaving late one evening before the theft. As it approached her, it suddenly stopped and then turned around and left.
A deputy was dispatched to a self-storage business for a report of trespass. He spoke with owners of the business who noticed that several storage units had been broken into, and that the locks on a total of 6 storage units had been cut. One of the owners relayed a previous incident she had had with one of the storage tenants. A woman had opened a unit that did not belong to her by cutting the lock. The woman was not believed to be a suspect, because she had cut the wrong lock by accident and immediately reported this to the owner. The storage unit tenants were yet to be contacted, and it was unknown what had been stolen as of the time of this report. A hole was also discovered in the fence surrounding the facility that only a person of small stature would fit through.
A deputy contacted a county resident for a report of stolen guns. The property owner had been having construction work done on the house by build contractors, and due to the workers needing access, had left the sliding glass door unlocked. The guns were on a shelving unit in a bedroom, covered by a blanket. Stolen was an AK47 valued at $350, a Smith & Wesson 9mm with night sights valued at $300, a stainless steel 12 round 9mm magazine valued at $30, and a Bianchi basket weave holster valued at $60.

The interior is an "Off Orange" does that count???? Ok, it's red.
plz help answer
What color is it
just silver???? or is it a pepper grey
and do you recoomend painting the srtipes or getting done what you did
looks great 10/10
The color is Charcoal Metallic.
I chose to go with the Vinyl stripes for now to see if I like it. I have the option to take them off at any time, change the color etc. If you were 100% sure you wanted them and were certain of the color, painting is probably the way to go....although, painting will cost a lot more money, every part of the body they put the stripes on, they would have to clear coat that entire body part (Hood, trunk, bumpers and so on)
I will see how these hold up.... the vinyl I chose supposedly has a 7 year guarantee not to fade, if left exposed to the elements 24/7 but since mine will be garaged most of the time, I am sure I will get a longer life span from them.
I like the GT 300 at the bottom Nothing like 300hp I also like the stripes, nice work.
I cant describe how awsome that looks!
You lucky bum, you did it first cause I'm planning on doing the same thing. I'm not a fan of black , but that black with the red interior and silver stripes is just is so dam sexy! WHen I first saw the 05 I knew I wanted to get the twin shelby racing stripes also. I was thinking about a side stripe, but not sure if I would have the stripe with out any letters or maybe GT300. Now that I see yours I love the side stripe also. And I have to commend you on your wheel choice!!! I also love the 17" painted aluminum instead of the bright machined rims. I think they are too busy. The 5 spokes look so beautful, mush like the crager ss mags of the 60's. And best of all, if you decide to buys other later, you havnt wasted any extra money on the upgraded bright machined ones.
When I saw the first pic, the close up of just the front end, I was overwhelmed. That shot right there, with the stripes and the fog lights, looks so much like a shelby, dam thats beautiful! See I have always loved the 68 GT ever since my brther had one, and of course dreamed about the 68 Shelby, but the Shelby's are just for the super rich these days. But here we have a car that looks so much like a 68 Mustang, and with a few touches, very similar to a Shelby, but at a price we can aford, with performance neither of the others ever had, its just so sweet I cant wait to get mine!!
Mine will be torch red with twin white stripes, and I guess Ill do the side stripes also. But I think I'll wait till I see what body parts I want to add. I dont want to try to imitate a Shelby exactly but I love the rear spoiler and the side scoop, I have to have that much.Once again you made excellent color choices, couldnt look beter!!!
Looks great! I ordered mineral grey thinking about blk stripes.
Man that looks good. I was thinking about doing the same to my car, but wanted to see what it'ld look like first. I'll have to find a place near me to put them on though. I dont have the time with all my projects going on right now.
Looking at your car makes the 05 grow on me even a little more.
I'm starting to like
OMG i think ... oh yes I just creamed my pants. That looks sooooo goood!
Very sharp, man... I love it. Where do you live in Michigan? If you don't mind, how much did that job cost? The top stripes I mean.
Sorry, missed the post where you included the price. Nevermind.
I think Im the only one who doesnt like the stripes,,, sure they look cool,, but a black 2005 GT (just like the one i have) looks better ALL black, with tinted windows,,,, thats just the way I feel, cause when its all black, it gives it such an evil and mean look!,,,, but as i said nothing wrong with it, as long as you're likin it , which you do !
You're not the only one. I agree with you completely that a Black GT with tinted windows and a nice set of wheels looks better than one with racing stripes. Don't get me wrong, the stripes look good, but not better than an all Black GT done the right way.
Totally into the stripes! They look awesome on that car... :worship: x infinity.
Personally thinking about a blue GT with white stripes... there's a company in FL that sells a "Tribute Shelby" kit that Shelby actually certifies... if I pick up an 05 that's the way I'm doing it.
Yes, but it doesn't look that good, IMO. Really, anything can be done.
The problem is the hood scoop and the indentation in front of it.
They have a sharp taper that goes against the stripes.
I wanted to put gold stripes on my black '03 GT, but nothing looked good.
I finally decided on the 40th Anniversary stripes when they came out, but no one makes them.
Bob White said he was going to start making them, but never did even after I gave him detailed measurements and pictures.
I have a few pics of GT's with wide straight stripes if you'd like me to email them to you.
Just wanted to thank all of you for all the nice comments on my car, I really appreciate it!
I think shot 2 looks really nice (the overhead shot of the hood).
The head on shot is nicer then stock (the stripes ) but I'm still not a fan on the front
Stripes = definately good
That looks damn nice. Wish it was sitting in my driveway.

If time is money, then First National Bank of Pennsylvania was spending way too much to back up critical applications. A full weekly backup would take 90 hours, and nightly incremental backups were taking around 24 hours. The bank, which has over 220 branches in PA and Ohio, was also bogged down with a tangle of products: 13 different backup systems were employed to service 570 servers. The company had to devote an IT staff person full time just to maintain all these backup products. When the bank decided to migrate from direct-attached storage to a SAN, it also decided to streamline its backup operations and embrace deduplication.
In the summer of 2009, the company purchased a pair of EMC Clariion CX4-240 SANs, one at the bank's production data center and the second at a warm site. Around the same time, it purchased CommVault's Simpana 8 deduplication software. Brian Diegan, vice president of network services for First National Bank, says the company investigated several deduplication products, including EMC Avamar, but at the time Avamar didn't support Novell GroupWise, a critical component of the bank's software infrastructure.
Diegan says he's pleased with Simpana. "We did a week's worth of testing, and now we dedupe everything. We dedupe to the production site first, and then to the warm site." Weekly backups have dropped from 90 hours to 24. Nightly incrementals also happen more quickly. "Nightly backups used to take 24 hours. Now they're down to two hours," says Diegan. Deduplication has also reduced the amount of backup data he has to store on disk, from 40TB down to about 6TB.
First National Bank also sees other benefits in deduplication. One is around file restoration. The bank keeps 30 days worth of deduplicated files on its production site, and restoration takes minutes. Before the deduplication software, Diegan says they backed up to tape, so restoring files could take six or seven hours. In addition, the IT staffer only has to spend part of his time on backups. "He's working on progressive projects instead of day-to-day maintenance," says Diegan.
With deduplication of critical backups in place, the company is turning to other storage-related projects, including tiering of data, in which files and information that are accessed frequently will be stored on high-performance (and expensive) disk, while other data can be moved to less expensive disk. The company will have a mix of flash, Fibre Channel and SATA drives in its SANs. "We're trying to nail down what gets in the tiers," says Diegan. "The easy part is that if someone hasn't touched a file in a certain amount of time, that goes to a lower tier." The company is also adopting virtualization: more than 30 servers have been virtualized so far, and Diegan's IT staff is investigating backing up virtual images.

CHICAGO, June 13 (UPI) -- A Chicago federal judge found a juror in contempt for taking a business trip during an ongoing trial, saying the man did not have a good cause for his absence.
U.S. District Judge James Holderman's ruling against juror Scott Enke expressed frustration with what he perceived as an apathetic attitude toward jury duty after Enke attended a business meeting with a client March 8 instead of serving on the jury of a Medicare fraud trial, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Wednesday.
Although Enke was excused from work for the first five days of the trial, he did not ask to be excused from court on March 8 to attend the meeting, nor did he inform anyone at the court of his scheduling conflict, the court ruling said.
Enke claims he attempted to contact the court, leaving messages, and his lawyer, Kevin Bolger, said his client is "extremely sorry for it. There were a lot of crossed signals. This is not some guy who disrespects the law."
Bolger added he has never seen a similar charge against a juror.
Holderman, chief judge of the U.S. District Court in Chicago, has a reputation for demanding respect for the process of jury duty, including holding companies responsible when they pressure employees not to sit for jury duty, the newspaper noted.
Enke's sentencing, which can include three days in prison, a fine and community service, is scheduled for July 10, court records say.

A Chicago man with a history of jerk crimes is accused of robbing a man with cerebral palsy in a wheelchair at Chicago Union Station last week, officials said.
Demetrius Thomas, 48, confessed to holding an elevator door shut while another man took a cellphone out of a purse wrapped around the waist of a man in a wheelchair, according to police reports.
Thomas was recognized in surveillance footage of the incident, which took place Aug. 21 at Chicago Union Station, by an Amtrak Police officer, officials said.
Thomas was arrested Aug. 22 while he was picking up his belongings after he was arrested a day earlier for a separate incident.
He was charged with felony robbery of a handicapped victim and held in lieu of $300,000 bond Saturday, according to the Cook County Sheriff's office.
Thomas admitted to holding the door shut while his friend stole a cellphone, valued at $300, from the man, who was paraplegic and suffered from cerebral palsy.
Thomas told police he knew the man was being robbed and "felt bad for the poor guy," according to a report.
The offender also attempted to steal cash from the victim's purse but the victim slapped his hand away.
Both men fled the scene, but it was not clear if the other offender has been arrested.

NEWCASTLE United are set to tie up a double French defensive swoop today.
Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and Massadio Haidara will undergo medicals before putting pen to paper on long-term contracts with the Magpies.
Their signings will give manager Alan Pardew a welcome boost as he looks to galvanise his side in the next seven days before their trip to fellow strugglers Aston Villa next Tuesday.
Yanga-Mbiwa's capture will represent something of a coup for Newcastle, with United having stolen a march on a number of top European clubs to land the Montpellier captain who was attracting interest from Arsenal and AC Milan not long ago.
The Gunners were linked with a late move for him, but Montpellier chairman Louis Nicollin confirmed the 23-year-old's switch to Tyneside – though he believes Mapou-Mbiwa will just use Newcastle as a stepping stone.
Nicollin said: "It had been agreed with my son (Laurent, vice-president of Montpellier) that he could leave if he found an interesting club. We will not cry. He is not irreplaceable.
"It is not my fault if he is an idiot. Newcastle is really not a good choice. He will be re-transferred next year."
Yanga-Mbiwa's fee is expected to be around £6.7m and reports suggest he will sign a three-and-a-half year contract, joining fellow French international Mathieu Debuchy, who was Newcastle's first signing of this transfer window.
He could come straight into contention for a start at Villa as Newcastle look to shore up their leaky defence.
Haidara, 20, is not expected to be an immediate first-team starter, but instead provide back-up to left-back Davide Santon.
Pardew has expressed concern at Newcastle's underbelly this season, with several youngsters not taking their chance when presented to them.
Haidara will stiffen that department, with Newcastle having agreed a fee in the region of £3m with Nancy for the France Under-21 international, who will be offered a five-year deal.
Nancy today confirmed Haidara's move, saying on their official website: "After 46 games and two and a half years in the Nancy shirt, Massadio Haidara is leaving for Newcastle United.
"The two clubs have reached an agreement and will finalise the transfer on Tuesday."
Reports in France have also claimed that Newcastle have had a £625,000 bid for Bordeaux forward Yoan Gouffran rejected as they look to find a replacement for Demba Ba.
Gouffran is out of contract in the summer, when he would be able to leave for free, but Bordeaux are believed to be willing to cash in on the 26-year-old this month for 1m Euros (£840,000).
Meanwhile, wantaway United captain Fabricio Coloccini met with Pardew yesterday to discuss his future.
Coloccini has expressed a desire to return to Argentina, with former club San Lorenzo keen on signing the player.
United are unwilling to let the defender leave during this transfer window, however, and while the club were staying tight-lipped on how the meeting went, it is believed the issue was left unresolved.

You got it right with your cover headline, "It's the Voters, Stupid. Forget the experts. Forget the polls. Forget the TV ads" [Jan. 21]. What the primary results from New Hampshire showed, once again, is the arrogance of America's national media especially television news. The press seemed downright insulted that the voters of New Hampshire didn't vote the way the commentators and pollsters said they would.

We sail on the Dream in May,and I am torn between staying at a Disney resort the night before the cruise and then driving to Port Canaveral the morning of to board the ship or staying at a hotel in Port Canaveral and watching the ships sail away out of port the day before our cruie. What have others done? Has anyone done both? We are driving from GA, so transportation is no issue and the pirice of the hotel will be about the same, (Disney Moderate resort). I know our kids would love to splash in a Disney pool but we have never seen a cruise ship before and I heard that it is neat to see these ships leave the port, the Fantasy leaves port the day beofre ours.

"Just give me a number!" Practical values for the social discount rate
A major reason the quality of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) varies widely is inconsistent use of the social discount rate (SDR). This article offers guidance about the choice of the SDR. Namely, we recommend the following procedures: If the project is intragenerational (does not have effects beyond 50 years) and there is no crowding out of private investment, then discount all flows at 3.5 percent; if the project is intragenerational and there is some crowding out of investment, then weight investment flows by the shadow price of capital of 1.1 and then discount at 3.5 percent; if the project is intergenerational and there is no crowding out of investment, then use a time-declining scale of discount rates; if the project is intergenerational and investment is crowded out, then convert investment flows during the first 50 years to consumption equivalents using a shadow price of 1.1, and then discount all of these flows at 3.5 percent, and discount all flows after the 50th year using time-declining rates. We then compare current discounting practices of U.S. federal agencies with our estimates. Consistent use of the recommended rates would eliminate arbitrary choices of discount rates and would lead to better public sector decision-making. © 2004 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management.

Civil Rights Movement Assignment
Due: September 22
(September 28 for Monday Evening Class)
Follow these steps to complete this assignment:
1. Select one of the civil rights activists' primary sources from Takin' It to the
Streets that we read for this week:
Anne Moody, The Jackson Sit-In
Letters From Mississippi
Sheyann Webb, Selma
2. Write one paragraph that shows how that activist's experience fits with Martin Luther King, Jr.'s concept of nonviolent resistance. Below are a questions to help you focus your analysis:
Did the activist's experience fit with the characteristics of nonviolent resistance?
Was the activist able to meet the demands that King said nonviolent resistance demanded?
Was there any sign that nonviolent resistance worked as King said it would?
3. Type up your paragraph and be sure that it conforms to these rules:
It must be typed, double-spaced, with your name at the top of the page.
It must begin with a topic sentence that in one sentence answers the question.
It must explain why you answer the question the way you do by using specific facts from the activist's document.
It must use the "evidence sandwich" approach (see below) to show how the facts support the topic sentence.
It must be written entirely in your own words. USE NO QUOTATIONS.
It must have be at least six sentences in length.
Every sentence should relate to the topic sentence.
The evidence sandwich technique works like this for each piece of evidence you use:
• It begins by identifying the source of the evidence. For Moody's and Webb's documents, that requires only explaining who each of these people was at the beginning of the paragraph. For the "Letters from
Mississippi" documents, you must explain who the writers were in general and then be specific about which one you have taken each piece of evidence from
It then states what the evidence is. What fact or facts are given?
It then explains why this fact or facts relate(s) to and support(s) the
topic sentence.

The Con-Game Comedy With A Twist.
A hilarious comedy about love, money and the art of faking art. Wiley (Jeff Goldblum) has a talent for forging paintings while Kate (Kristin Scott Thomas) has a talent for selling them. Together they make a great team until one day Kate disappears with the cash and Wiley gets nabbed by the cops.
Wiley figures she set him up and after two years in jail, is out for her and the money. But when he catches up with her, he falls right into her arms-and into her plans. Kate has a new scheme: the seduction of a millionaire art collector and theft of his rare masterpiece. But she needs Wiley's help-to paint a fake as a replacement for the original, so no one need know that the real one has gone. Get the picture? Wiley will-unless a 'brush' with the law means Kate is out to frame him again.
