The Rise and Decline of Job Insecurity
Job security is an important aspect of work quality. Accumulating evidence shows that insecurity has deleterious impacts on individuals and households, and in the mid-1990s, job insecurity became a public and political issue. This paper critically examines the concept and measurement of job insecurity and examines trends based on representative survey data in a number of industrialised countries. There is some evidence that insecurity increased in the 1970s and 1980s. However, perceived rising insecurity during the 1990s was a middle-class phenomenon based in part on the experience of professional workers and on the finance industry. In recent years, most occupation groups in Britain have experienced declining insecurity, reflecting a return to historically low levels of unemployment. Insecure workers are concentrated in jobs with temporary contracts and short job tenures, and in the private sector. Plant and Machine Operators remain especially insecure. Workers in foreign-owned firms are experiencing greater insecurity in recent years, and this link is associated with competition from low-wage economies.

The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes are moving on to the next round and they dropped nearly 100 points in the process against the No. 15 Iona Gaels. The Buckeyes will play the No. 10 Iowa State Cyclones, who beat the No. 7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish with ease.
Ohio State had two players score in double digits in Deshaun Thomas–what a surprise–and Sam Thompson. Thomas had 24 points, while Thompson had 20. If the Buckeyes can get a second scorer that puts up big numbers besides Thomas, Ohio State could be very dangerous.
What to Watch For
How about Deshaun Thomas. Thomas has been so good this year when it comes to scoring the basketball. It doesn't matter who is covering him, he is going to get his 20 or so points every game. Aaron Craft could play a pretty big role as well, considering that he is one of the best defending points guards in the nation.
The Cyclones' two leading scorers did not come up big tonight, but Will Cybrum–the leading scorer for Iowa State–is definitely one to watch. He is putting up 15 points per game and 7.1 rebounds per game.
If Iowa State can limit everyone on the court, other than Thomas, this could be a very close ballgame. However, Ohio State is known for its defense and it can easily be an opposing team's worst nightmare. The Buckeyes are playing their best ball of the year right now. Iowa State is going to need another impressive performance against the Buckeyes, but it still may not be enough. However, only giving up 58 points to Notre Dame is still pretty impressive.
Ohio State 68 Iowa State 60

What is contemporary ice skating?
Amidst the spins and sequins of traditional figure skating, a few irreverent yet international level athletes turned away from the aging traditions of "On Ice" entertainment in order to develop a new form of contemporary and urban dance using the magic of gliding.
'Le Patin Libre' is a Franco-Canadian company recognized as pioneers of this new performance art. They will be proposing their work in Berlin for the first time.
'What is contemporary skating?' is a short genre-defining performance regrouping short pieces that marked the evolution of the collective and excerpts of their latest creation.
After the performance, the public will be invited on the ice stage to meet the artists and to try dancing and partying on skates themselves.
Discover what we'll define as a new artistic venue: the Erika-Heß-Eisstadion (Berlin – Mitte)

There will be some traffic problems Tuesday on I-70 during a bridge inspection.
The Ohio Department of Transportation says Tuesday crews will be inspecting the bridge over the Muskingum River, near the Maple Avenue exit ramp.
Traffic will be impacted in the afternoon when crews will close the eastbound ramp to I-70 from Maple Avenue and the 5th Street exit ramp. That will happen between 12:30 and 3:30 in the afternoon.
Traffic using eastbound I-70 from Maple Avenue will be detoured to Underwood Street and traffic using the 5th Street Exit should use the 7th Street Exit instead.

A Novel
Loop Group
A Novel
In perhaps his finest contemporary novel since Terms of Endearment, Larry McMurtry, with his miraculously sure touch at creating instantly recognizable women characters and his equally miraculous sharp eye for the absurdities of everyday life in the modern West, writes about two women, old friends, who set off on an adventure—with unpredictable and sometimes hilarious results.
As Loop Group opens, we meet Maggie, whose three grown-up daughters have arrived at her Hollywood home to try and make her see sense about her busy life, a life that intersects with lots of interesting—all right, bizarre—people. Her daughters push her into having a few second thoughts about it, and these are reinforced when her best friend, Connie, seeks an escape from her own world of complex and difficult relationships with men. Maggie conceives the idea of driving to visit her Aunt Cooney's ranch near Electric City, Texas, and the two women prepare for the trip by buying a .38 Special revolver (which leads to unexpected trouble along the way). This road trip will end by changing their lives.
Alternately hilariously funny and profoundly sad—even tragic—Loop Group is a major Larry McMurtry novel and a joy to read.

Soccer star David Beckham, who recently celebrated his 15th wedding anniversary with wife Victoria Beckham, has one more thing to celebrate.
The world-class athlete will be given the first-ever Legend award at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Sports Awards in honor of his talent and sportsmanship.
Beckham, 39, who was recently named Ambassador of United for Wildlife by Prince William, will receive the award for being a role model to young kids both on and off the field.
"He exemplifies the qualities every kid aspires to achieve and his name is the first that comes to mind when we think of his sport," the network said in a statement.
Beginning his career in 1992 at Manchester United, Beckham went on to win six Premier League titles, the FA Cup twice and the UEFA Champions League in 1999. After playing four seasons with Real Madrid, he signed a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy, winning back-to-back MLS Cup Championships in 2011 and 2012. In 2013, he spent his last professional season with Paris Saint-Germain, where the club won its Lique 1 title.
RELATED: David Beckham's H&M Ads Are (Once Again) Super Smokin' Hot
Pharrell Williams, Florida Georgia Line, Marshawn Lynch, Kevin Durant, Will Arnett, Megan Fox and many other athletes and celebs are expected to join Beckham at the inaugural award show.
LIVE with Kelly and Michael and Fox NFL Sunday's Michael Strahan will host the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Sports Awards on July 17 (8 p.m. ET) on Nickelodeon.

I guess there's some...irony? justice? synchronicity? between Robert Smithson's non-site works--pieces of far-off locations displaced into a gallery--and twiddling your thumbs at a boring* Smithson symposium in a college auditorium while the last 36 hours of the artist's Floating Island tick by in gorgeous, sunny, autumnal splendor.
Net net: forget the next three sessions of the symposium (maybe they'll be podcast), and get your butt to the river to watch the barges go by.
[*although one potential bombshell was dropped, it went seemingly unnoticed. In answer to the moderator's question about ever rebuilding the Spiral Jetty by allowing new rocks to be piled onto it, the artist's widow and executor Nancy Holt didn't reject the idea.
There's precedent, she said, because Smithson sometimes instructed Holt or other friends go get rocks for his pieces. He didn't privilege the hand of the artist, she said. True, perhaps, but only partly relevant; more to the point is Smithson's own intentions for the effects of entropy on the Jetty, not whether he had to be present to dump the rocks. The other factor is how to deal with increasing touristification of the site, which now gets tour buses and up to 100 visitors/day.]

ThePhysicists, by Friedrich Dürrenmatt
Adapted by Michael Healey, based on a translation by Birgit Schreyer Duarte
(World première)
Directed by Miles Potter
Designed by Peter Hartwell (set), Gillian Gallow (costumes), Steve Lucas (lighting), ToddCharlton (sound)
Featuring Graham Abbey, Seana McKenna, Mike Nadajewski and Geraint Wyn Davies
|L-R: Mike Nadajewski as Ernesti / Einstein, Geraint Wyn Davies as Mobius
and Graham Abbey as Kilton/Newton. Photo by David Hou
The story (which contains spoilers) is thus: three physicists in a sanatorium – one thinks he is Sir Isaac Newton, one believes he is Einstein, and the last, Möbius, believes King Solomon visits him on a regular basis. However, it turns out that none of them are insane - Einstein and Newton are actually spies for different agencies, sent to keep an eye on Möbius , the super-genius who has solved some of physics' biggest problems. Both Einstein and Newton have killed nurses who discovered their secrets - for the greater good, of course. Einstein's agency wants to share these answers to benefit mankind, Newton's agency wants them for pure scientific study, but Möbius believes his ideas could doom mankind and is determined to keep them secret at all cost, even murdering the nurse who loved him to do so. Möbius reasons that they are none of them are truly free, and that they must be held accountable for the murders they committed. They vow to stay in the asylum and work together for science. However their psychiatrist Fräulein Doktor von Zahnd reveals that she knows their secrets, has stolen Mobius' research and has sold his ideas for commercial gain. The men are trapped and retreat into their alter-ego identities as the Fräulein Doktor takes her now enormous corporation private.
When The Physicists premiered on Broadway in 1964, the Cold War had the Western World in its grip of paranoia and the Cuban missile crisis is a very recent memory. Weaponized nuclear science is the core of this fear, a science that is badly explained by politicians and media. Out of this comes Friedrich Dürrenmatt's play of "big ideas" that can be dangerous when known to parties with different philosophies. Which philosophy is correct? Who gets to use these big ideas and to what end?
|Members of the company in The Physicists.

Leap ahead 51 years. There are invisible threats in the world from malware, identity thieves and home-grown terrorists, and at least in Canada, the current federal regime has been muzzling the scientific community for nearly a decade. Secrets are kept and revealed by vigilante hackers. So, nothing much has changed… except for the technology and speed at which things happen.
Michael Healey's adaptation of Dürrenmatt's Cold War play certainly brings the play's language into the 21st Century; nurse #2 is strangled with an ipod charging cord, the insane asylum is now a "healing institute" and there are references to computers, bankers, mixed martial artists and fan fiction. There are still throwbacks to the 1960's in the nurse and police uniforms, and a throwback to Newton's time with the armillary chandelier (although it could be an atom), but all in all the language of this adaptation is relevant and witty - perfect for Canadian audiences, so willing to laugh at ourselves and our leaders.
|Graham Abbey as Beutler / Newton / Kilton.
Photo by David Hou
However, for a play that is full of plot-twists and grand reveals, the final denouement is not much of one for a modern audience. Given two minutes to think about it, it should come as no surprise that the real villain is a fanatical capitalist, the head of a giant corporation that has appropriated scientific ideas for monetary gain. This is so high on our collective radars that while it seems clever and indeed handled in a highly comedic way, it is not surprising at all. So while the play seems fresh and relevant, at the end this adaptation lacks the knock-out punch the original must have produced.
|Mike Nadajewski as Ernesti/Einstein and Geraint
Wyn Davies as Möbius. Photo by David Hou
That is not necessarily the fault of the text but rather a failure to realize just how savvy the audience has become in the last five decades. Also, this is not to say that the philosophies debated are any less debatable now, or that our moral compasses are in any less need of adjusting. We should still be horrified at injustices done in the name of law, wary of paranoia created by technological ignorance and cautious of leaping blindly onto whatever bandwagons Madmen (pun completely intended) create.
The production is solid – Miles Potter at the helm does provide the mixture of comedy-tragedy he does so well, albeit with much more gallows humour than usual. He makes no bones about the fact he believes corporations are the world's current evil-doers, including dollar signs on the SWAT-team's Armani uniforms like badges of honour. As Newton, Graham Abbey's brand of understated wit suits the character perfectly, as does Mike Nadajewski's distracted vehemence as Einstein. Seana McKenna is relishes in her role as the maniacal sociopath Fraulein Doktor (her look channelling Linda Hunt), and Geraint Wyn Davies' constantly anxious, fearful Möbius convinces everyone, not just the other physicists, of the dangers they have created.
|Seana McKenna as Fräulein Doktor

All in all this is a play for our times indeed, it just does not leave as much open for debate as one would expect from a play about the philosophy of politics of science. The Physicists continues in repertory at the Tom Patterson Theatre until September 27th.

Jane Hamilton, award-winning author of The Book of Ruth and A Map of the World, is back in top form with a richly textured novel about a tragic accident and its effects on two generations of a family. When Aaron Maciver's beautiful young wife, Madeline, suffers brain damage in a bike accident, she is left with the intellectual powers of a six-year-old. In the years that follow, Aaron and his second wife care for Madeline with deep tenderness and devotion as they raise two children of their own. Narrated by Aaron's son, Mac, When Madeline Was Young chronicles the Maciver family through the decades, from Mac's childhood growing up with Madeline and his cousin Buddy in Wisconsin through the Vietnam War, through Mac's years as a husband with children of his own, and through Buddy's involvement with the subsequent Gulf Wars. Jane Hamilton, with her usual humor and keen observations of human relationships, deftly explores the Maciver's unusual situation and examines notions of childhood (through Mac and Buddy's actual youth as well as Madeline's infantilization) and a rivalry between Buddy's and Mac's families that spans decades and various wars. She captures the pleasures and frustrations of marriage and family, and she exposes the role that past relationships, rivalries, and regrets inevitably play in the lives of adults. Inspired in part by Elizabeth Spencer's Light in the Piazza, Hamilton offers an honest and exquisite portrait of how a family tragedy forever shapes and alters the boundaries of love.More
"In each surprising permutation, Hamilton offers fresh perspectives on the puzzles of time, memory, and consciousness, and keenly gauges the many shades of guilt and audacity, grief and sacrifice, tenacity and goodness." (Booklist)

1950 CHILD'S DISNEY / DISNEYLAND / DISNEY LAND FILM PROJECTORMade by Mavco ~Includes Donald Duck Cartoon Strip~ Offered in today's auction is something that I found at a local estate sale. It's a toy film projector with its original box. It's made by Mavco (I think they made the animatronics at Disneyland). It is a fully functioning item, I plugged it in and it worked. See photos of this item on, and also the photo of the cartoon (sorry, I didn't focus the cartoon). It's made of a brown plastic, and has an electric cord that runs through some kind of transformer. The graphics (sticker) on the front of the projector shows some minor wear, but considering it is 60 years old, I think it's in pretty nice condition. The cord has some tape on it, but I didn't take it off, so don't know the condition of the cord at that point. However, I did plug it in and it worked. This was made in 1950 by Mavco, and from what I can find out in my internet research, it is quite rare. Special film strips fit through it . . . each strip has four cells per column/row. This auction includes on file strip - it's Donald Duck.
Thanks for looking at my auction.
Payment is due immediately with "Buy it Now". For auction items, payment is requested within 3 days of auction close. Items... read more

Umm yea so they're making a sequel. Saw that coming, but after the first one's hype machine lead to an OK game – I'm skeptical. Phrases like 'never before seen visual experience' is being thrown around and I'm not sure what to think. The game will follow the title characters as they wreak havoc in the gritty Shanghai underworld. Hence the foreign language in the logo. Apparently this 'never before seen visual experience' is inspired by documentary filmmakers and the user generated era. So crappy content presented on a shaky handy cam? Awesome. Well I might not be too far off – especially with these two "viral" videos: Bowling for Shanghai and Burger Joint. The bowling one is cool but the Burger Joint one makes no sense. And I'm glad that dog is ok. I hope this isn't the 'new visual experience' cause I'll throw it out there. It'll suck. Work on a new Hitman game. Anyways, K&L Deuce is looking at a 2010 release check the official site for updates.

Roof DecksRoof deck construction options
Rooftops offer great opportunities for creating attractive entertaining or relaxing areas, but this useful space is so often wasted. Building a roof top deck on an existing building is often seen as expensive, time-consuming and very difficult. But it needn't be that way. Depending on what you want to achieve as the final result, Architrex has two alternative options for building amazing looking roof decks.
Firstly is the option of laying down interlocking tiles over the existing surface and secondly is the option of creating an elevated deck using a pedestal support system. Let's look at both of these in turn.
Interlocking Deck Tiles
The beauty of interlocking deck tiles for a rooftop deck is their simplicity. You simply lay the tiles by snapping them together right over the existing surface, creating an instant 'floating' rooftop patio. So it's normally a do-it-yourself job that can be completed in less than a day. The existing deck will normally slope for drainage, so your new deck when using interlocking deck tiles will also slope in the same direction. In most cases, you can lay the tiles directly over drainage holes that may be positioned in the rooftop area.
With interlocking deck tiles, you don't need any permanent supporting structures which is often the major impediment to installing a roof deck. If you live in a condo building, generally speaking, the building owners won't permit the construction of any 'permanent' structures on a rooftop.
We often get asked 'will the decking damage the waterproof membrane on the roof top?' All our interlocking decking tiles have a large number of 'feet' on the underside of the integreted plastic base. These 'feet' distribute any load evenly over the surface below, so under normal circumstances with typical waterproofing materials, the 'feet' should not dig into or damage the membrane.
But if you or the building owner still have concerns about possible damage to waterproof membranes on the rooftop, we suggest you lay down an extra protective layer of EPDM sheeting over the existing roof surface. You can buy EPDM in various widths with lengths up to 50′ wide from specialist suppliers such as Best Materials or Resource Conservation Technology who can also custom fabricate a single sheet to avoid seams. They can also supply a complete system for your roof deck that includes adhesives, sealants etc.
Pedestal Paver System
For large rooftop decks and especially in commercial locations subject to heavy foot traffic, we suggest constructing your roof deck with structural porcelain pavers supported on adjustable height pedestals. These 3/4″ thick pavers are exceptionally strong, scratch resistant, stain resistant, frost proof and non-combustible. They are not interlocking but with this pedestal supported plaza system, they are simply positioned with the corner of each paver placed on the head of an adjustable height pedestal using the inbuilt spacer tabs to keep them accurately aligned and correctly spaced.
One of the big advantages of this pedestal paver system is where your rooftop has service pipes, an uneven surface or slopes in multiple directions because they enable you to raise the deck surface to completely cover the service pipes and create a perfectly level, elevated roof deck surface. A pedestal paver system can raise the deck height from as little as 1/2″ to over 3 feet if required. And all this is achieved without any permanent structures such as beams or bearers or other deck support foundations being installed on the rooftop. The pedestals are simply placed on the existing surface or waterproof membrane, the wide, flat circular base avoiding any damage to membranes.
Porcelain pavers are considerably lighter than concrete pavers and thus much easier to transport to your rooftop and install compared . Plus they are wear resistant, stain resistant, fade resistant and freeze/thaw resistant. They are also available in an exceptionally broad range colors including simulated stone and simulated wood, so you have the ability to construct a wood look roof deck in locations which may have strict fire codes prohibiting or restricting a natural wood roof deck.
But if you still long for the classic beauty of real wood deck, are not concerned about long term maintenance and local regulations will in fact permit a solid wood deck on your rooftop, we also supply solid Ipe wood structural tiles which are also designed to be used with a pedestal system. Just like the porcelain pavers mentioned above, these 24″ x 24″ tiles are simply positioned with each corner placed over an adjustable height pedestals, again enabling the construction on a perfectly level deck without any expensive substrucuture.
But there's yet a third option using a pedestal paver system. Eterno pedestals are also available with a special head that is designed to support wood bearers which are held in place on the pedestal head with screws. This means you can actually build a conventional wood plank deck on a rooftop but potentially overcoming restrictions the building owner may place on having 'permanent' structures built on the roof top. You can see more details about this application here.
Whichever roof deck option you select, decking tiles or a pedestal paver system using either porcelain pavers, Ipe wood deck tiles or a conventional plank style wood deck laid over bearers on pedestals, before you start, you must always seek permission from the building owner or other organizations concerned with the care and maintenance of your building. You should also check that local regulations permit your preferred deck material to be installed on your rooftop.
For example, in some urban areas, there may be fire regulations which could restrict the building of a wood or composite wood deck on a roof top. Although the Ipe wood used on our SwiftDeck Ipe wood deck tiles and structural wood tiles has a Class A (highest) fire rating, even this may not be sufficient to satisfy some authorities.
Fortunately the option of a pedestal paver system with porcelain pavers will still give you the ability to build a wood lookalike roof deck either using 24″ x 24″ or 16″ x 48″ porcelain pavers or the elegant 12″ x 96″ porcelain planks of our DeckWay system.
If you'd like further information on building roof decks with either interlocking deck tiles or a pedestal paver system , just give us a call on 866 206 8316 or send us an e-mail.

Reasons to Try Mountain Biking
Road biking was my first taste of exercising on wheels. I loved the smooth terrain, how fast I could speed along, and how much distance I could cover, which made for great sightseeing. I never gave much thought to trying mountain biking, until my hubby persuaded me to go with him. I tell you, it's a completely different feeling riding on a woodsy trail than it is riding on the road. Here are some reasons you should give it a try.
- It's the perfect time of year — the air is chilly so you won't overheat, there are no bugs, the ground is less muddy, and the foliage is gorgeous. It's a great way to celebrate Fall.
- It's a major calorie burner. An hour of mountain biking burns over 500 calories.
- You can forget about doing endless squats and lunges because mountain biking will effectively tone your thighs and booty. Since you have to pedal hard up steep hills, you really feel the burn in your lower body.
- Once you purchase a mountain bike, cycling shoes, and a helmet, the trails are usually free, so it's a great way to stay fit during a time when we're all pinching pennies. Visit a bike shop and purchase an old model that stores are trying to get rid of, or check out Craigslist if you're on a budget.
To see why else you should start mountain biking
- It's a great alternative for people who say that running hurts their knees or back.
- Since you're biking through narrow trails, over roots and rocks, dodging tree limbs and holes, you really tune your sense of balance. It also requires more awareness and quick thinking, so boredom just isn't an issue.
- It's a great form of exercise you can do with a friend or whole group. Not only is there safety in numbers, but your pals can suggest new places to ride.
- It's hardcore. I feel so tough after a ride in the woods because mountain biking is so challenging. I come home with scratches from branches, bruises from falling (since I'm a beginner), and mud on my legs. Aside from strengthening my body, my inner self feels stronger.
Tell me, have you ever tried mountain biking?

Neuroscience Research:
We have examined the involvement of the mitochondrial permeability transition in isolated CNS mitochondria from normal and Huntington's Disease model mice. At the systems level, we are currently examining metabolite changes in brains of Huntington's Disease model mice and how these metabolite changes can be used both as biomarkers for disease progression and to provide insight into mechanisms of disease progression.
A new project is investigating how certain classes of drugs might alter synaptic vesicle availability or cycling as a means of limiting high frequency activity in epilepsy.
Research in Science Teaching:
The field of neuroscience probes the cellular, molecular and circuit properties contributing to learning and memory, processes that should influence teachers' classroom strategies and practices. Providing professional development for postbaccalaureate teachers into the biological basis of learning and memory applies the new knowledge generated in my field towards solving a pressing societal need, improving K-12 science education. As a research scientist, communicating this knowledge to teacher audiences is a part of translational research. BrainU is a professional development program for K-12 science teachers interested in understanding the brain and its relevance to education (www.brainu.org). BrainU was created in response to requests from teachers to learn more neuroscience than could be covered in one-hour classroom visits. My goals for the BrainU program are to engage teachers both in teaching about and applying neuroscience to their classroom practices and to motivate teachers and their students to learn more about themselves and the pursuit of science. Our research goals are to probe how learning about the nervous system motivates teachers and students to teach, learn and do science in their classrooms.

Congress is Finally United – Against the People
Congress is Finally United – Against the People
original article written by Net Advisor™
Synopsis: The Republican-controlled House and Senate got together with the Democrats and passed a $1.8 Trillion spending bill that fully funds everything Obama had asked for. Are the People of the United States being heard by Congress anymore? Read More in this report.
WASHINGTON, DC. After increasing their majority in U.S. House, and taking back a majority control of the U.S. Senate during the 2014 Mid-Term Elections, Democrats and the establishment Republicans are finally united – against the People of the United States. The majority of the Republican Congress is voting EXACTLY like Spend-Thrift Democrats, and putting the People of the United States in greater debt.
[1] Debt-R-US
Apparently the U.S. credit rating being downgraded for the first time in U.S. history and under Obama's watch in 2011 and 2012 didn't give anyone the message to control debt spending.
- 2011: S&P Downgrades U.S. Debt Rating
- 2012: Egan-Jones Downgrades U.S. Credit Rating After FED Stimulus
- 2012: Moody's Warns of U.S. Debt Downgrade – For the 5th Time
Congress passed what is called the Omnibus Bill (Latin: For All) with – $1.8 Trillion spending [up $700 Billion from the original bill – Source 1 (PDF), Source 2 (PDF)].
The bill seems to be called "For All" because Democrats and the establishment Republicans all get something. U.S. citizens concerned about paying for it, their safety, sanctuary cities, border security, illegal immigration, welfare reform, entitlement reform, bringing unvetted foreigners (at $64,000 per person) from countries involved in a religious war where known terrorism exists – that was not Congress' concern in the Omnibus bill.
- Egypt, Iraq, Syria, It's All a Religious War [Report, Point 12]
Establishment Republicans conceded to Democrats in last year's (Omnibus Bill) too, where according to Roll Call, many in Congress didn't bother reading the bill, and voted for it anyway.
"Many of these members acknowledged earlier in the day and week that they weren't excited about the 1,582-page bill (which many had not read), but said would vote for it anyway."
Democrat Congressman Earl Blumenauer (Oregon) said nobody ready the 2014 bill either.
"When asked whether he read the 1,528-page, $1.1 trillion government spending bill before he voted for it yesterday, Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) said, "Nobody did!""
— Source: CNS News
This year is no different. GOP 2016 Presidential Candidate, Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) said on Dec. 20, 2015, "Nobody read it (the Omnibus Bill), so, frankly, my biggest complaint is that I have no idea what kind of things they stuck in the bill…"
This new 2,000+ page bill which Obama signed with House/ Senate passage will create $780 Billion in new debt (with interest) over ten years or $2 Trillion in new debt over 20 years.
"Over two decades, (this Omnibus) deal would add more than $2 trillion to the debt."
— Source: (The Bipartisan), Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (PDF)
GOP 2016 Presidential Candidate, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said:
"This is what's wrong with the Washington Cartel," Ted Cruz said of a budget deal that "betrays the promises we made to the men and women who elected us."
— Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Source: Investors.com
It's amazing that Congress can pass massive spending bills (including at 3:00AM EST (HTML)(PDF) and no one is bothering to read what's in them? Don't be surprised if some politician sneaks language in future bills that strips away personal liberty.
Billionaire real estate mogul and current leading GOP 2016 Presidential Candidate, Donald Trump said Congress "threw in the towel" on the Omnibus spending bill and:
"The only special interest not being served by our government is the American people…"
"If anyone needed more evidence of why the American people are suffering at the hands of their own government, look no further than the budget deal announced by Speaker [Paul] Ryan…"
— Donald J. Trump. Source: Breitbart
The difference from establishment Republicans and Democrats seem to be more purple than red and blue now. As long as Democrats get massive welfare and Republicans get defense spending, everyone is happy – except the taxpayer paying the near $2 Trillion bill on top of the (current) $19 Trillion of existing debt.
[2] More Taxes Equals More Spending
Last year, the U.S. government ran a $589 Billion deficit despite receiving an all-time record $2.66 Trillion in tax revenues. Thus it seems the more government taxes, the more it spends.
In May 2015, it was reported that President Obama is spending up to $17 Billion for a fleet of 23 new helicopters for his office and his 'entourage.' Former House Speaker Boehner (R-Ohio) said that Obama was 'not serious' about controlling deficits. That is true, but neither was Speaker Boehner.
Just in the month of November 2015, and before the new Omnibus bill, the U.S. deficit soared by $578 Billion.
The U.S. national debt is expected to hit a record $20 Trillion under the Obama presidency. This does not include the $75 Trillion+ [See current debt live] off-balance sheet transactions, and other unfunded liabilities (mostly entitlements) that Congress pretends that isn't there until they have to pay (or borrow more) it in a given year.
[3] Fund Everything – Tax Me More Later?
The new Omnibus bill for 2016 (27-page summary, PDF) fully funds all of President Obama's de facto amnesty programs, bringing Syrian refugees in to the U.S. despite admissions and warnings by FBI Assistant Director Michael Steinbach, Director of National Intelligence, Homeland Security Committee Chairman, Michael McCaul, The National Counter Terrorism Center, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Matthew Emrich.
In November 26 State governors sought to block Syrian refugees over the inability to properly vet (screen backgrounds) for terror risks. It appears that the majority of the current Congress, not President Obama is really interested in domestic security.
26 State Governors Now Refusing #SyrianRefugees Over Lack of Proper Vetting & National Security Concerns. pic.twitter.com/4dybEqKz5j
— NetAdvisor™ (@NetAdvisor) November 17, 2015
The above tweet has since climbed to 31 states balking at accepting Syrian refugees over security concerns. Texas filed a lawsuit, and Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit seeking information on the refugee program. The 2016 Omnibus bill also funds ObamaCare, does not slow or stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, given more money to train and arm Iraq.
On the social side, the Omnibus bill fully funds Planned Parenthood – a privately-ran (non-government) "healthcare" organization that has been under high controversy for allegedly selling aborted body parts for money (External Reports by CBS, CNN, Daily Mail.UK, NPR).
The Omnibus deal also includes tax breaks for business and some for consumers. This night sound good idea until we discovered that Congress is borrowing the money in order to get these deals in the budget. Congress at the very least, should be cutting back spending in other areas to offset its borrowing, but that would require fiscal responsibility.
[4] Government Shutdown Fear
The purpose of the 2014, 2015 Omnibus bills are all about averting the false and misleading narrative of "government shutdowns."
Government shutdowns don't mean the entire government ceases functioning. It means non-essential parts such as National Parks temporarily close, some government websites are off-line (which makes no sense if the government is the web host). Tax refunds MIGHT be delayed, but Social Security checks continue to be issued on time, "national defense, emergency medical care and air traffic control" all continue to run uninterrupted.
In 2013, most of the media incorrectly blamed Republicans for a brief government shutdown. The facts are President Obama threatened a shut down by way of veto threat and, then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) threatened the shutdown the government if Obamacare was not fully funded.
"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid reiterated on Saturday that the House bill would be dead on arrival in the Democratic-controlled Senate…"
"Obama also threatened to veto any bill that delays his healthcare restructuring."
— Sources: The Chicago Tribune (PDF) and West Central Tribune, MN (PDF) highlight added
Harry Reid (D), NOT Republicans continued to block progress when the shutdown occurred blocking even government employees from being paid retroactively.
This whole thing about Government shutdowns is a political and media-ran fear story on the American public. The fear is to persuade the People of the United States to allow the government to spend, spend, spend as they see fit, as recklessly as they wish, regardless of costs or consequences to current or future generations. That is not 'Government by the People,' that is Government Ignoring the People.
[5] Remember, It's…We, The People
The Preamble of the U.S. Constitution begins with, "We, the People."
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
— Preamble of the United States Constitution (1787), Source: U.S. Constitution.net
We're not exactly sure how Congress is following the We, the People part, when creating massive deficits year after year, after year, by allowing the U.S. to risk default.
Technically, the U.S. doesn't have to default because the Constitution also authorizes Congress (NOT the President) under Article I, Section 8 to borrow money. Would our Forefathers have intended for Congress to print and waste unlimited amounts of money such as $486 million for foreign air fleet then selling it for scrap metal, or insuring that Viagra is covered in the Defense budget? This unlimited and uncontrolled deficit spending puts the U.S. at economic risk and would seem to go beyond the framework of our Forefather's Constitutional intent.

Dangerous Games: Prisoners of Destiny is a Hidden Object style adventure game with a little more bite than most. Thanks to actually utilizing the magical undertones that so many of these games offer, puzzles require a little more thought than usual, and youŌĆÖre sure to quite enjoy the ride.┬ĀThings can be negotiated at whatever speed suits you, but no matter what pace you choose, you should consistently find whatŌĆÖs around the next corner pretty satisfying.
In Dangerous Games: Prisoners of Destiny┬Āyou play a regular person whoŌĆÖs just moved to a new city and acquired a new job. Your boss challenges you to a friendly game of cards, and thatŌĆÖs where everything goes a little weird. By playing the card game, you end up in a strange mystical world, having to solve various puzzles to escape. Think Jumanji, and you wouldnŌĆÖt be too far off.
Your friends are trapped, everythingŌĆÖs perilous, and itŌĆÖs down to you and your cards if you want to survive this. ItŌĆÖs an imaginative idea, and one that means mysticism is brought to the forefront of whatŌĆÖs going on.
Early on, youŌĆÖre tasked with a card that can freeze lava, enabling you to cross fiery areas, but itŌĆÖs not without its limitations. As you progress, you earn more, soon learning when theyŌĆÖre best used. ItŌĆÖs a nice extra element alongside more familiar casual adventure gaming moments. For instance, much of your time will still be spent combining items from your inventory. The main order of the day when youŌĆÖre in a new location is to poke around, picking up whatever you can find. Generally itŌĆÖs a good starting point, and the gameŌĆÖs pretty good at highlighting what can be grabbed.
ItŌĆÖs also reasonably good at being logical. Need to sharpen something? Find a sharpening stone. Need to lift something up? A jack should help here. That means that you wonŌĆÖt have to rely on the hints button too much here. Instead, itŌĆÖs best used when tackling the Hidden Object scenes.
You see, those Hidden Object scenes are pretty challenging at times. Each screen is often littered with all kinds of objects, meaning itŌĆÖs sometimes tricky to see whatŌĆÖs going on. Some objects are immediately reasonably obvious, but many others take some poking around. Crucially, a few of them require some kind of interaction with multiple other objects.
One early challenge has you collecting up vegetables, before finding a knife to chop them with, and then placing them in a pot to make soup. ItŌĆÖs that extra level of thought that means Dangerous Games: Prisoners of Destiny feels a cut above the rest when it comes to Hidden Object scenes, but also might test your skills at time.
To add to the challenge, there are also some puzzles thrown in for good measure. Think typical logic puzzles such as ŌĆśdivide the weights up so everything is equalŌĆÖ and youŌĆÖre going down the right path. Some are pretty easy┬Āand┬Āsome are real┬Āhead scratchers, but again, itŌĆÖs all quite satisfying stuff. Dangerous Games: Prisoners of Destiny does a good job of mixing things up so you rarely feel like youŌĆÖre doing the same thing over and over again.
ThatŌĆÖs what makes this game seem better than most. Its variety keeps you interested, and also tested, but never so much that youŌĆÖll be frustrated. Telling an interesting story is helpful too, and unlocking new cards means youŌĆÖll feel like youŌĆÖre gaining something new regularly. ItŌĆÖs a fun example of the casual adventure gaming genre.

10 Tips To Turn Your Internship In To Your Job
Given the vagaries of the current economy, it's not easy to land a job outside even after completing a successful internship. An internship certainly gives you an edge, but it's not a job-guarantee. It makes sense, therefore, to try and turn your current internship into a job – here's how.
Impress Your Boss
Do whatever you can impress your boss and earn a job recommendation. Listen respectfully, learn what they know, volunteer to do more, show initiative and intelligence and be reliable and diligent. Not many bosses want to lose such an intern, and when the time comes, he or she will recommend that you be hired.
Think Of Your Internship As An Extended Job Interview
You know how it is at an interview – you will be drilled, you'll be observed, assessed, studied and assessed some more. An internship is pretty much the same, only longer. Remember your seniors are observing what you do, how you dress and how you behave. Don't give them the chance not to hire you.
Act The Part
So you want to be an employee? Act the part. Throw away those flip-flops and get some real shoes. Dress the way your seniors do – modestly, and in formal clothing. You can get some formal clothes for cheap at thrift shops. Impress people with your professional attire.
Treat Everyone You Meet With Respect
There may be someone lower on the rung than you, but that's no reason to treat them with scorn. Be respectful and polite with everyone. It's important to get everyone to like you, because sometimes companies take feedback from an intern's immediate team members before making a hiring decision.
Maintain Professionalism
Listen more than you talk, and never badmouth anyone, or make jokes in bad taste. Don't discuss your personal life at work, and don't gossip. If you find someone discussing their personal life, smile, make an excuse and move away. Be to work on time, and try to put in some extra time.
You may be asked to attend business events and conferences; even some social events. Be gracious and polite when you do so. If free drinks are offered, drink sparingly, or stick to water. Don't barge into groups and network discreetly with people.
Discuss Your Goals With Your Manager
Within your first week, ask your manager for some time and establish internship goals. Find out exactly what the company and your manager want from you. Be clear about what you want as well, such as specific skills you hope to gain. This kind of professional approach will deeply impress your manager.
Display A Positive Attitude
All career development internships programs involve a certain amount of grunt work, and you won't enjoy everything you do. Still, maintain a positive attitude, taking each menial task as another building block in your career. Show that you can be trusted with bigger tasks, and soon your manager will learn to rely on you.
Ask Questions
Asking questions demonstrates initiative, intelligence and interest. Carry a notebook with you and note down points you want to remember. By doing this, you'll be demonstrating your level of engagement. It'll help you get a more realistic preview of your company and your prospective career as well.
Remember To Be Assertive On Occasion
Menial tasks are necessary but no one appreciates a passive worker. Raise your hand now and then and ask for more serious work. Volunteer for tasks when they come up, and check with other departments if there are things you can do. This proves you can handle a full-time job's responsibilities if you were to be hired.

- Photo: The inscription of this sandstone grave has been lost with time in the Wilcannia Cemetery. (Landline: Tim Lee)
Wilcannia cemetery, set amongst gnarled gum trees and saltbush on the outskirts of town, has an estimated 700 graves.
The burial records have long been lost and in many cases any earthly inscriptions that once existed, such as wooden crosses, have vanished over time.
Of the headstones that sprout from the red outback soil, some are in good repair.
But a great many are wearing away and the details of those that lie beneath them are slowly being lost.
"Finance is the biggest challenge," said Shirley Evans, a stalwart of the cemetery committee.
"For 30-odd years we've been trying to get finance to get the old graves restored before they fall down."
It's just so historic. It would be a shame to see it deteriorate any further.Christine Elliott, secretary of the Wilcannia Cemetery
Ms Evans points to an elaborate grave erected in 1916.
The ornate white marble angel on top is on a fearful lean.
The cemetery committee has tried for years to find descendants or family who may be able to fund or oversee the grave's preservation. But the task, like so many of the graves here, has proven fruitless.
Maintaining and preserving the final resting places of the dead is a huge challenge confronting the trustees of cemeteries nationwide.
Rich history found in Wilcannia graveyard
For long-established graveyards like Wilcannia, the problem is compounded by the age of the graves.
But in death many of the poignant inscriptions tell a rich history of earlier Australian life.
Dr Herbert Butcher is a case in point.
A short, misspelled inscription on a pointed sandstone column provides no clues to the life of the man who lies beneath it.
In death he has long remained in near obscurity.
Evidence of his brief earthly presence in far western New South Wales is easily seen by visitors - his grave is close to the main gate - but the wording merely says that he died on March 24, 1893 aged 38 years and was "loved and respected by all".
The stonemason made a mess of it, misspelling Butcher as Butcer and running out of room for the word March.
Herbert Butcher was probably the first in Australia to attempt to find a biological control for the rabbit plagues that swept across the Darling River region in the 1880s.
"He was a pupil of the celebrated Pasteur," said the obituary in the Barrier Miner newspaper.
It detailed how his method was based on inoculating rabbits with a lethal virus, then releasing them back into the wild to spread the sickness.
Herbert Butcher's work was partly motivated by the government of the day. It offered a sizeable reward for a means of destroying the rabbit pest.
He (Dr Herbert Butcher) was a pupil of the celebrated Pasteur,"Obituary in the Barrier Miner newspaper.
However, he could not sufficiently convince the authorities of the efficacy of his method, so was never able to claim it.
A few years later a kick from a horse prematurely ended his life, so the true merits of his work will never be known.
Lack of resources thwart efforts to preserve headstones
At least his grave is in good condition. It is made of solid stone and has been restored in recent years.
"There's a lot of challenges here and not a lot of resources to fix it," said Christine Elliott, secretary of the Wilcannia cemetery.
She has detailed knowledge of many graves, but admits to being frustrated by the countless other plots that are either unmarked or have no known descendents to care for them.
"It's such a historic cemetery, graves going back here to before 1866 when the town was gazetted, they picked this area for the cemetery and we've got a Jewish section, there was the Chinese section," she said.
"It's just so historic. It would be a shame to see it deteriorate any further."
There are graves of drowning victims, of accidental shootings, victims of epidemics such as measles and at least eight tombs containing victims of the heat wave of January 1896 when the temperature in Wilcannia reached 48 degrees Celsius.
The most poignant memorials are the innumerable graves of young children, frequently infants.
Ms Elliott and Ms Evans are part of a small band of older locals who organise working bees and try to carry out maintenance work at the cemetery.
But as age and the elements continue to take their toll on eroding headstones and rusting iron railings it is a race against time.
Restoring old monuments can also be very expensive.
"To get them restored back to originality is almost impossible," said George Zanon, a monumental mason from Broken Hill whose work takes him to the small bush cemeteries scattered throughout the region.
"The cast iron kerbing, it's impossible to source that. The old marble is far too expensive, so to restore them, you've just gotta restore them to basics.
"As long as you can keep the original headstone, I think that's the main thing."
Mr Zanon believes Wilcannia's historic graveyard deserves some special attention, such as federal heritage grants if it is to preserve many of the decaying, historic graves.
"There's no state or federal government funding," Mr Zanon said.
"The local government hasn't got the finances to put into restoring old monuments.
"If the families don't do it, they'll just continue to get run down until perhaps they're lost forever."
If the families don't do it, they'll just continue to get run down until perhaps they're lost forever.George Zanon, a monumental mason from Broken Hill
Mr Zanon and Ms Elliott both believe that the Federal Government's proposed work-for-the-dole scheme could assist in the preservation and maintenance of old cemeteries.
"A lot of practical skills can be got doing this type of work," Ms Elliott said.
"A proper program with proper supervision could be set in place to maintain historic cemeteries, any town cemetery."
Mr Zanon is a little more circumspect.
"First thing you'd have to have those people willing to do the work," he said.
"A lot of people, if you mention the word cemetery, they go 'oh, I'm not setting foot in there'. If they're willing to come out and they're wanting to learn some sort of skills to help restore these old monuments, yeah I think it's a good idea."

Huey Luey's, a specialty Mexicana restaurant, is expanding into Sandy Springs by converting a building that once housed Staples.
The company has a history of taking over big-box retail spaces and creating an open design with a modern, industrial feel and vibrant colors.
"After having visited countless full-service restaurants with my family, I realized the traditional real estate model was tired," said Richard Stoll, founder, Huey Luey's. "The Huey Luey's design puts our guests on a mental vacation. From our roof-top views to lengthy bar rails, guests almost feel transported from their everyday lives."
Huey Luey's opened its first location in Hiram in 2011 and its second location in Acworth a few years later.
It features handcrafted Mexicana dishes inspired by authentic recipes from regions throughout Mexico and around the U.S.
"Our bold flavors and extensive cocktail offerings make it the perfect destination that balances a family dining environment with an adult margarita bar experience in Sandy Springs," explained Stoll.
Menu favorites include tacos, burritos, fajitas and nachos, as well as the restaurant's dishes that nod to American tastes, including Southern BBQ Brisket tacos or Grilled Hot Wings that are "sauced" tableside with Huey Luey's own Smooth Mexican Hot Sauce.
The restaurant uses only fresh ingredients and prides itself on sourcing no ingredients from cans or frozen packaging.
"We are unique in that we feature specialty dishes created by experienced cooks who incorporate flavors from their hometowns in various parts of Mexico," added Jason Salisbury, General Manager of Huey Luey's Sandy Springs. "We encourage our cooks to experiment with new flavors and dishes that reflect everything from old world tastes to the latest Americana cuisine. Our customers appreciate that we are foodies at heart, but thoughtful in our pricing and specials."
Huey Luey's tequila cabinet is stocked with more than 200 tequilas and mezcals, making it one of the most extensive and diverse collections in the metro Atlanta area.
Huey Luey's has a strong commitment to giving back.
For every Huey's Gigantic "Burrote" sold, a percentage of sales goes to the Murphy-Harpst Children's Center, a nonprofit that meets the needs of abused and neglected youth through residential treatment, placement in specialized foster care and community programs that serve at-risk children and their families.
