i DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING BUT YEAH,great!
I had to google what oxymoron was, didn't know
[ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxymoron]Oxymoron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]An oxymoron (plural oxymorons or oxymora) (from Greek ὀξύμωρον, "sharp dull") is a figure of speech that combines normally-contradictory terms. Oxymorons appear in a variety of contexts, including inadvertent errors such as extremely average, deliberate puns like same difference or pretty ugly, and literary oxymorons crafted to reveal a paradox.
A bit random, but funny

In a mezzanine area flooded with natural light from arced windows, cardio machines stand alongside free weights and strength-training equipment, ready to help exercisers combat calories and stress levels. Instructors, meanwhile, inspire participants to reach their fitness goals during group fitness classes set to upbeat music, while yoga teachers promote a stronger mind-body connection with styles ranging from breath-focused Vinyasa to energetic prana flow. For more in-depth work, guests can work with trainers certified by the likes of the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the National Academy of Sports Medicine. The crew also includes registered nurse Maria Glad, whose 12-week and 12-month wellness programs complement the club's fitness activities.
Staffers at the organic, raw-food juice and smoothie bar stand by to whip up a healthy and satisfying snack after workouts, while vapor from the locker rooms' sauna and steam room loosens muscles.
Located within walking distance of an ocean-side beach, the pet-friendly NASCAR RV Resort keeps campers comfortable with well-maintained campsites trumpeting a slew of amenities. Camping quartets pop a tent or stow a bungalow-on-wheels at one of the resort's many sites, keeping creature comforts flowing with hook-ups for necessities, including water, electricity, and fondue. Occupy sunshine-drenched days fishing the stocked lake, swimming in the resort's four pools, or parading about the four playgrounds, or settle vacation quarrels with old-fashioned rounds of horseshoes or shuffleboard. Visitors can also work up a sweat at the resort's basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts, or make a gentlemanly wager at the 18-hole miniature-golf course.
It's a tradition dating back to the 1930s, and for many moviegoers, it still eclipses the modern multiplex experience. But it's also threatened by extinction. With only an estimated 357 drive-ins still functioning throughout the US, Saco is one of the last places where an audience of automobiles can bask in movie magic under the twinkling starlight. With speakers propped by the car windows and affordable concessions at hand, viewers laugh, cry, and cheer at double features of first-run films while knowing exactly who's kicking the seat behind them. Those who want to keep this American tradition going can donate to Project Drive-In, which aids outdoor theaters as they strive to make the pricey conversions to digital projection.
The captains at South Portland Sailing Center have a knack for sailing not only because of their licensure and training, but also because many of them have called a boat home at some point. They share the expertise they gained from living on and conquering the waters off the east coast with their clients, who can charter a variety of crafts including a gaff-rigged New England Cat and a full-keel cruising boat. After a relaxing ride or a lesson, members kick back at the clubhouse, a converted 48-foot wooden powerboat.
At Maine Tactical, instructors lead training classes from the NRA Basic Pistol course to the Hunter Safety course. When not helping guests improve their marksmanship, the team mans a pro shop that, as a Glock Blue Label dealer, extends exclusive benefits to law enforcement, military personnel, and state-licensed security officers. Maine Tactical's staff also includes armorers for manufacturers such as Sig Sauer and Smith & Wesson, which means the staff can complete custom builds for anything from hunting scopes to glued-on bottle openers.

Beachfront property? Saturday (Mar. 7), 5:15pm, Old Lahaina Lu'au It's impossible for me to fathom moving through life with a mindset that frames everything in terms of commodity and individual gain. Imagine a life with no sense of aesthetics, no awe, no intrinsic desire to hold some things sacred, not even phenomenally gorgeous natural landscapes. Imagine walking along the shore at Oneloa/Big Beach and, instead of being overwhelmed by the place's profound beauty and significance, dreaming of the kind of money that would pile up if only you could make the place die by way of development. Yet there are people who think this way, and they often get themselves into positions where they can demolish pristine environments, and are even encouraged to do so by unquestioning elected officials. Thus, people who care about the land have to learn the language of money if they are to be heard. Maui Coastal Land Trust has caught on to this, and for the eighth year in a row is putting on its Buy Back the Beach Luau, which will raise funds for the nonprofit's coastal conservation efforts. Mana'o Radio's Kathy Collins emcees, and Willie K. is slated to perform. $150. That's right! Music! Saturday (Mar. 7), 4pm-12am, Mulligan's On the Blue When I say that music may be the most important thing that's ever crossed my threshold of perception, you may take that as hyperbole. But it's not. For me music is like air; an essential element that determines the quality of an experience. I get transfixed on a band or album, which subsequently serves to define the era of my life in which I got hooked. (Right now I'm on my third Buffalo Springfield kick.) I know that when it comes to this addiction to music I am not alone. And that is why the South by Southwest music festival/conference exists. This year a few Hawaii bands are headed to Austin to perform during the event, including Maui's own Anuhea as well as A Kettle Prime. To help cover the costs associated with traveling to and playing in Austin during this week, A Kettle Prime has put together a fundraiser that features a number of local acts, including Erin Smith & the Throwdowns, Ryan Robinson, Kanekoa and yours truly (a little shameless self-promotion never hurt anyone). AKP headlines. The event also features silent auctions and, yes, beer. $12 in advance/$18 at the door. A long way to go Monday (Mar. 9), 7pm, Ka Lama 103, MCC This Sunday marks the 100th observation of Women's Day, a day meant to observe the accomplishments of the female gender. In 1911 the celebration earned the handle International Women's Day. In some circles the occasion has devolved into a diluted Valentine's Day, but in others it's going strong. The day after the 2009 installment of Women's Day, Maui Peace Action will bring activist Jane Roberts to MCC to talk about the state of women's health and reproductive issues. Roberts, who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005, is doing something remarkable. When the Bush Administration announced that it was going to cut the U.S.'s $34 million in funding to the UN's Population Fund in 2002, Roberts launched a campaign to get 34 million Americans to donate one dollar to replace the lost money (which had constituted over 10 percent of the organization's budget). The UNPFA is an organization that works to ensure women's rights to plan their families and live free from worry of contracting HIV/AIDS and falling victim to gender-based violence. As of January 19, 2009 Roberts has raised $4,014,180. Not bad, but she's got a way to go. Free. The brutal truth Tuesday (Mar. 10), 7pm, Cameron Center, Wailuku One of the silver linings of our current era is that while it can seem like everything is on the brink of collapse, we still have the opportunity and the resources it would require to change our ways; to transition comfortably into a more sustainable mode. What we eat and how we produce it is one major area we can learn from our mistakes before it's too late. This is why it's important for us to know about the pitfalls of the food industry, even if it challenges accepted viewpoints. Farm Sanctuary founder Gene Baur, who speaks Tuesday, will present some of the less pretty aspects of the practices that render cuddly creatures into various meals, aspects he discusses in his best-selling book Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food. Baur has worked to expose unsavory slaughterhouse (a word most meat producers have ditched for PR purposes) practices as well as his organization's efforts to rescue and rehabilitate the victims of said practices. Anything to get more people to think about what they're eating, and maybe even change their ways, is valuable these days. Copies of Baur's book will be available and vegan refreshments will be served. Free. |

Russian sprinters: Kiss not protest
Quick kisses exchanged by four Russian female sprinters, exuberant after winning a relay race at the world championships in Moscow, have set off a flurry of speculation that they were protesting Russia's new controversial law against gays.
But two of the athletes, who appeared to brush lips while kissing each other on the cheek, insisted Tuesday that was not the case.
Kseniya Ryzhova, one of the 4 x 400-meter relay winners, said: "The storm of emotions going through us was incredible. And if we, accidentally, while congratulating each other, touched lips, excuse me. We think the whole fuss is more of a sick fantasy not grounded in anything."
Russian women often kiss one another on the cheek when celebrating a happy occasion or even just in greeting.

February 15, 2011 John Kerry off to Pakistan to "calm" diplomatic tensions
The only way that Senator Catsup will be able to "calm the situation in Pakistan is by admitting that American diplomat Raymond Davis, being held illegally by the Pakistani government for shooting two armed robbers in Lahore a few weeks ago, is guilty and should be executed.
That's the feeling among the overwhelming majority of Pakistanis. The pressure on the government to bring Davis to trial is tremendous and it's hard to see how the bungling of Mr. Kerry will do anything except make the situation worse. ABC News : Sen. John Kerry has left for a trip to Pakistan today, according to his spokesperson on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, to calm frayed diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Pakistan. Is the Obama administration about ready to throw Davis under the bus? When the government refers to the "strategic relationship" between countries where there is a dispute, that could mean that all other considerations are minor compared to the overarching interests in not damaging the alliance. Davis is an impediment right now, and while the State Department wouldn't like it, giving up on the "diplomatic immunity" claim in exchange for a trial for Davis followed by some kind of amnesty granted by the Pakistani government might satisfy the Pakistani street as well as the Americans. Let's hope that Kerry doesn't bungle whatever negotiations he's going over there to conduct. |

WASHINGTON (MNN) – In a press conference this morning containing representatives of various educational groups and lobbyists, the USDA unveiled a new redesign of their venerable food pyramid. This time, it specifically targets an aging population.
Dr. Ralph Upwat Ijestait addressed attendees. "In all my years as a nutritionist, I've never seen a food pyramid that reflects the specific needs of seniors. Now, we finally have it."
The new pyramid stands tall, featuring Viagra at its sharp and proud peak.
Other new categories can be seen in the accompanying illustration.
One area of debate inside the USDA revolved around whether it was appropriate to feature Alpo, a name-brand dog food, as essential. Some wished to retain grains and legumes instead, but after much lobbying from dog food executives, Alpo won the day. However, according to some insiders, the main argument for its inclusion was due to the fact that today's senior citizens are basically broke. Many Americans unable and unwilling to save money in their working years rely on Social Security. That fact, along with runaway inflation, has made Alpo into an unlikely staple.
Dr. Ijestait addressed the "Alpo" controversy by stating, "Alpo is really a lot better than many things seniors could eat. Like, uh, each other, I guess."
Representatives from Lean Cuisine and Ensure also helped with the pyramid, showing that corporate representatives can act outside of their own self-interests for the greater good of the nation.
No word on whether the new food pyramid will help seniors keep the damn kids off their grass.

The seal, found at St Helen's Duver. Picture courtesy of the British Divers Marine Life Rescue.
A BABY seal has been transferred to a specialist animal centre after it was found at St Helens Duver.
It followed reports from several Isle of Wight County Press readers who had spotted a seal and pup in the area in recent days.
The female seal, less than one week old, was spotted by members of the public on Friday and Saturday and it has now been taken to the RSPCA's Mallydams Wood Wildlife Centre, West Sussex.
Nigel Dove and Stephan Voigt of the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) attended the uninjured seal at St Helens on Saturday.
It was then taken to the Isle of Wight's RSPCA centre in Merstone, where it received fluids for rehydration and treated for a minor infection.
The seal will remain at the West Sussex centre until it is old and mature enough to be released back into the wild.
Mr Voigt, the Isle of Wight's assistant area coordinator for the BDMLR, urged people to be cautious if they spot a seal.
He said: "If people find a live seal they should watch it from a distance.
"Do not approach the animal, as seals regularly haul out on our coasts — it is part of their normal behaviour.
"Therefore, finding a seal on the beach does not mean there is necessarily a problem.
"A healthy seal should be left well alone, however, if you see a seal that may be abandoned, thin or ill, then call for advice and assistance."
*RSPCA nurse Nikki Lambert said the female seal had an infection around its umbilical cord, but no injuries.
She said: "She is very bright, very happy and absolutely fine apart from the infection. We are tube feeding her every three hours because her teeth are only just starting to come through.
"She currently weighs about 8kg. When she weighs 30-35kg she will be released back into the sea locally. At that point - probably in 3 or four months - she will be big enough to fend for herself."
The BDMLR hotline is 01825 765546 or to contact the RSPCA, call 0300 1234 999.

Latest update (21/07/2012) from RSPCA Mallydams Wood Rehabilitation Centre:"Unfortunately our little seal suddenly took a turn for the worse on Friday and the Vet thought it was kinder to put her down. These very small newborn pups can develop complications at any time in the rehabilitation process."
19th July 2012, at 18:10:57
Part 3:You might like to hear, that the latest update (17/07/2012) from the RSPCA Mallydams Woods Rehab Centre team is, that the pup is doing well. It is still on antibiotics for prophylactic reasons (umbilical cord infection), but it is already enjoying its fish soup. It still has some time to spend in the Rehab Centre, as it will have to reach at least 25kg body weight, before it can be released back into the wild, preferably back into the Hayling Island seal colony, if possible.
19th July 2012, at 18:10:21
Part 2:No attempt has been made to reunite presumed mother and pup, as in our experience it is very unlikely, that firstly the mother would have accepted the pup again, and secondly we would have successfully managed to get them together to even attempt to reunite both. The mother would not have come close enough to us (and the pup) to make useful contact. To put the pup back onto the beach would have been the death sentence, as the pup would not have been in easy reach for us anymore, if we would have needed to interfere. Other reasons were tidal conditions, weather, the presence of several dogs and most importantly of members of the public being not in control of their dogs and themselves, the busy harbour entrance etc. Please note, that the pup was already dehydrated and hypothermic as well. The decision has been made jointly by our local well experienced Isle of Wight BDMLR MMM team and the UK BDMLR Veterinary Coordinator.You might like to hear, that the latest update (

Although I have got my serious doubts about the capability of some people having commented so far on this post to comprehend the situation and the consequences, I have decided to give it a try anyway, and to give you some insight into the subject.Just for clarification, British Divers Marine Life Rescue is a charity, consisting of a UK wide network of trained marine mammal medics, who are the ones you are referring to as 'tits' and 'halfwits', which are by the way all volunteers.Back to the actual issue. The mother of the seal pup has been spotted the day before (together with pup according to members of the public) and presumedly on the day (by trained British Divers Marine Life Rescue Marine Mammal Medics) near Bembridge Harbour, before the pup was found away from the beach inland several hours later. According to eyewitnesses, the mother of the pup has been scared away by kayakers.No attempt has been made to reunite presumed mother and pup, as in our experience it is ver

Rescued it from what? A useless mother who was probably off getting a quick snack and is now out of its mind looking for its pup. Its what seals do with their young. They cant afford childminders. Bet the tit that authorized it was a social worker in a former life.

The pernicious nature of this cycle spills over to all members of a group when the stereotype is reinforced. Dr. Claude Steele describes this as stereotype threat (visit www.DiversityInc.com/steele to see him talking about this).
Different Perceptions
Now to answer your question. Before I became better informed, like most white people, I probably would have brushed off your assertion as being paranoid. But if you understand what's going on (and I have a better grip on this now), the fact is that it's not paranoia, it's a real concern that arises from the knowledge that some groups in this country are persistently, perniciously and consistently discriminated against for reasons of race, gender, orientation, religion, age and disability. (There are other factors, but these are the major ones.)
Your situation is difficult; it isalmost impossible to discuss anopinion on a subject where thereare two very different perceptionsof reality. What might be a topic ofnormal conversation if we are all onsimilar levels of perception ("Is thatcolor pale green or chartreuse?")becomes loaded with implica-tions, implied wrongdoing, guiltand emotion. I don't assume yourmanagement is racist (they may be,but let's assume they aren't for thesake of this point). Therefore, bytalking about what is plainly racialbias to you and invisible to yourmanagement, you are coming upagainst their reality, which is basedon white privilege. Having grownup never worrying about race,white people have the privilegeof never thinking about it from apersonal perspective. We cannotpossibly truly understand what itmeans to have to think about it allthe time. I have dedicated my life'swork to understanding diversity,but, in America, I cannot possiblyunderstand what it means to beaware that every situation I'm in isfraught with potential discrimina-tion based on the color of my skin.
Are You a 'Troublemaker'?
When you challenge or question decisions where race or privilege are factors, you are shaking the very foundations of what most white people believe to be true: that our country is a meritocracy, that we all compete equally and that the outcome is fair. But it's not, and, although you wanted to discuss inequity in promotions, what you ended up doing was challenging the core of your leadership's grounding in reality, which made you a "troublemaker" in their eyes. You wouldn't be a "troublemaker" in an organization that is run to optimize performance because part of that optimization is diversity education, the tools to make opportunity equitably distributed (like employee-resource groups and mentoring)—and accountability for equitable talent management.
Frederick Douglass said, "Noman can put a chain about theankle of his fellow man without atlast finding the other end fastenedabout his own neck." However,it is an ironic fact of life that theoppressed must lead the oppres-sor out of oppression. You wouldthink that feeling the chain aroundour collective necks—the failure tothrive of the very Black and Latinoyouth that will soon be more thanhalf the children in our country—would lead us to action, but it takesa precipitating factor (for example,photographs of Bloody Sunday tomove Lyndon Johnson to meet withDr. King to try and solve the prob-lem of civil injustice).

Lesley Hansard and Rebecca Welsh
"Two years ago we received an email in our junk mail box which we shouldn't have really opened, but we did anyway," recall designers Lesley Hansard and Rebecca Welsh of the introduction to their artisans. "A young man found our website and said he loved our designs and would love to work with us."
It was perfect timing for the duo: After 14 years of hand-felting their own designs, they were considering new manufacturing options. "We jumped on the next plane and trained the Nepali felt-makers to make our designs. We met the whole family and became good friends."
Hansard and Welsh go to great lengths to ensure their artisans have access to health insurance. Working conditions are a top priority. Their Nepali partners maintain fair treatment, allowing artisans to bring small children to work.
"It's great to learn new skills," they beam. "We're becoming business women as well as felt-makers." collection

Dave' D'Onofrio's Sox Beat: For Victorino, it only took one
The 2013 American League champion Boston Red Sox.
"I couldn't be happier for Vic," said Sox outfielder Daniel Nava. "He had a situation before where he couldn't get a bunt down; he takes pride in that stuff, so I think a lot of the emotion that came out was that it had been a frustrating game so far — and now we're going to the World Series. All that together was awesome."
But while the public was generally hesitant to jump aboard the bandwagon, the players bought in from the early days of spring training. Farrell had a plan, an approach, an attitude. Cherington brought in players who thrived under pressure, sought opportunity, and played with a renowned relentlessness. They were the most consistent team in the game, in large part because of the intelligence and intensity that permeates the roster, and perpetually gives them a chance for the type of late-game dramatics that they used to spoil both of Max Scherzer's ALCS appearances.

At today's Verizon iPhone conference, the Verizon CEO has confirmed that iPhone 4 will be headed to the Verizon network. The new iPhone 4 will support the CDMA technology that Verizon has.
The new iPhone 4 has been designed specifically for the CDMA network and was in test for more than a year. This should open up iPhone access for CDMA vendors across the world, so you will see more networks being added by Apple in near future. Verizon iPhone users will most likely benefit from the Verizon LTE network and see higher speeds. There goes millions of AT&T customers. The price of 16GB iPhone 4 on Verizon will be $199 and 32 GB iPhone 4 will be $299. Verizon will also support mobile hotspots out of the box where you can connect up to 5 devices and access the internet. The Verizon iPhone 4 will be up for pre-order on February 3, 2010. Sales of iPhone 4 will start on February 10, 2010 at online stores for Verizon and in Verizon or Apple stores."We're incredibly pleased to give Verizon's customers the choice we've been waiting for. We've designed an iPhone 4 which connects to the CDMA network — and it has all the features that you'd expect. Like FaceTime. Features like Apple's stunning Retina Display."
More updates coming shortly. For the official Verizon iPhone press release head on over to iPhoneForums.net .

A family in the Kassena Nankana District
Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) programme of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana
The Kassena Nankana Area programme (KNAP) supports many children with disabilities. A large part of the programme's work focuses on tackling the spirit child phenomenon and it is often the case that children are labelled as spirits as the result of a disability which is either misunderstood or is difficult to manage in the local environment. KNAP and particularly the AfriKids Child Rights Centre in Sirigu has become well known as a place where children with disabilities can find help and through their outreach and home based support work the KNAP team discover and care for many children with disabilities themselves. The CBR offers specialised support in, among other things, early identification, physiotherapy, mobility tools and referrals for people with disabilities.
The two organisations have become close partners and refer to each other's services frequently. The AfriKids Child Rights Centre is often used for CBR programmes and many of KNAP's children have benefitted from therapies and tools provided by CBR. The partnership is complimentary and also feeds into Ghana Health Services provision well, making it a fantastic example of cross- sectorial partnership and the creation of an effective social welfare net for some of the districts' most vulnerable people.

Hi guys,
just a quick question:
By installing many plugins, does it affect TXP performance?
Depends entirely on the plugin. Each plugin takes a different task and has its own cost as far as server resources go. Plugins that do heavy lifting and processing can have bigger impact.
In general, for instance plugins that merely just introduce new Textpattern markup tags have no impact at all until the plugin's tags are used. On pages where the tags are not present, the plugin is literally in sleep and has no visible impact at all.
Just installing plugins does not have major impact to performance. The fact that it's a plugin, doesn't make so that it has bigger impact than having the same code built-in the core.
Rah-plugins | What? I'm a little confused… again :-) <txp:is_god />

America 'Less Equal...Less Mobile,' Says Reform-Hostile NYT Welfare Reporter on Front Page
New York Times poverty beat-writer Jason Deparle, who once described Clinton's welfare reform proposal as "a bill that begrudges poor infants their Pampers" and predicted it might cause women to "camp out on the streets and beg," made Thursday's front page with the claim that America is becoming "less equal...less mobile" with the poor stuck in place, in "Harder for Americans to Rise From Economy's Lower Rungs."
A photo caption read: "Occupy protesters, like these in Flint, Mich., have pushed discussions about economic mobility toward center stage."
Benjamin Franklin did it. Henry Ford did it. And American life is built on the faith that others can do it, too: rise from humble origins to economic heights. "Movin' on up," George Jefferson-style, is not only a sitcom song but a civil religion.
But many researchers have reached a conclusion that turns conventional wisdom on its head: Americans enjoy less economic mobility than their peers in Canada and much of Western Europe. The mobility gap has been widely discussed in academic circles, but a sour season of mass unemployment and street protests has moved the discussion toward center stage.
After noting that some Republicans, including Rick Santorum, have made the case that mobility is declining, DeParle presented a host of possible causes with a liberal tinge.
One reason for the mobility gap may be the depth of American poverty, which leaves poor children starting especially far behind. Another may be the unusually large premiums that American employers pay for college degrees. Since children generally follow their parents' educational trajectory, that premium increases the importance of family background and stymies people with less schooling.
By emphasizing the influence of family background, the studies not only challenge American identity but speak to the debate about inequality. While liberals often complain that the United States has unusually large income gaps, many conservatives have argued that the system is fair because mobility is especially high, too: everyone can climb the ladder. Now the evidence suggests that America is not only less equal, but also less mobile.
DeParle included some vital caveats and conservative sources, but in lower paragraphs:
Skeptics caution that the studies measure "relative mobility" -- how likely children are to move from their parents' place in the income distribution. That is different from asking whether they have more money. Most Americans have higher incomes than their parents because the country has grown richer.
Some conservatives say this measure, called absolute mobility, is a better gauge of opportunity. A Pew study found that 81 percent of Americans have higher incomes than their parents (after accounting for family size).
There is no comparable data on other countries.
Since they require two generations of data, the studies also omit immigrants, whose upward movement has long been considered an American strength. "If America is so poor in economic mobility, maybe someone should tell all these people who still want to come to the U.S.," said Stuart M. Butler, an analyst at the Heritage Foundation.
The income compression in rival countries may also make them seem more mobile. Reihan Salam, a writer for The Daily and National Review Online, has calculated that a Danish family can move from the 10th percentile to the 90th percentile with $45,000 of additional earnings, while an American family would need an additional $93,000.
The causes of America's mobility problem are a topic of dispute -- starting with the debates over poverty. The United States maintains a thinner safety net than other rich countries, leaving more children vulnerable to debilitating hardships.
Later DeParle took up the liberal line, blaming the lack of unions and the "sheer magnitude of the gaps between the rich and the rest."
DeParle notoriously feared the passage of Clinton-era welfare reform. In his July 28, 1996 Times Week in Review story "Get a Job -- The New Contract With America's Poor," DeParle warned: "If he signs the measure as it is, President Clinton will appear to have fulfilled his famous pledge about ending welfare. In truth, he will have abandoned the vision that animated the slogan. Having sought office with the aim of a redefined social contract -- health care for every American -- he will be seeking re-election with a bill that begrudges poor infants their Pampers....No doubt the harsh reality of an empty stomach will cause some people to do better. Some may indeed get jobs and marry, as [Fla. Rep. Clay] Shaw predicts. Others may turn to prostitution or the drug trade. Or cling to abusive boyfriends. Or have more abortions. Or abandon their children. Or camp out on the streets and beg."
None of DeParle's fears came to fruition.

Welfare reporter? The media
Submitted by ant on Thu, 01/05/2012 - 2:35pm.
Welfare reporter? The media have as many useless job titles as the government.
He left out the studies that the average American family (don't know if they counted polyamorous families) income has decreased by 6.7% under the black messiah and the botox princess. Also some other studies that show the 'income' gap has grown wider under both Obama's regime and previously under Clinton's. Funny how that works like that under the party of the working class. It's like how Republicans are said to be in bed with big Oil, yet gas prices usually rise under Republican control, and fall when more Dems are in office. Now...if Republicans and Big Oil are one and the same why would they shoot themselves in the foot and erode consumer approval of themselves by raising gas prices? If Republicans are the party of the rich, why does the wealth gap between 'haves and have-nots' grow under Democrat regimes?

Oprah. Rush. Gates. Jobs. A few of our most extreme cases of upward mobility, and none graduated college.
On the other hand, Obysmal and Moochelle and many of their friends have many college degrees, and they have caused more DOWNward mobility than anyone in the history of this country (not for themselves, of course).

Maybe our problem is that any bit of money gleaned by someone is taxed by multiple authorities (local, State, Federal). Any property that they manage to acquire after that bit of theft is also taxed, every year, based on it's "value" and regardless of any income made off it or not.
Ben Franklin and Henry Ford never had to deal with the government getting their "cut of the action" before even they saw penny one.
Ben's famous quote: "A penny saved is a penny earned".
Current government's response: You owe taxes on the penny saved as well as taxes on the penny earned.
Our current system might as well be called the perpetual poverty guarentee.

It's been four years since I contributed to a Foto8 Summershow exhibition. This year I submitted some of my work for the 2012 edition of the show, held at the Host Gallery in London. One of my images was selected and I thought I would share with the OCA community how I decided on which images I submitted.
Backed by the prestigious magazine Foto8, the Summershow attracts UK and international documentary photographers who know that the show has gained a reputation for exhibiting work that redefines and expands our understanding of the documentary genre. For this year's edition a total of 3200 images were received and 159 were selected for the exhibition – see press release.
Such stiff competition requires a very methodical approach to making a submission if you want your work to be amongst the 5% final chosen images.
What were they looking for?
There is no set theme and photographers are invited to submit personal, political or commissioned work undertaken recently, of any subject, style or genre, which engages or challenges the viewer, either to convey stories, raise questions or provoke feeling. Above all we encourage free expression and are keen to see new and creative approaches to the medium.
How many images?
You may make only one entry to the competition with UP TO THREE images to be considered as a sequence or individually.
I read the guidelines over and over again because every bit of information in them was relevant to the process of choosing which images to submit. I ruminated about them for over a week, mentally browsing my picture library and making preselections of my images. That's before I actually sat down and got sucked into Lightroom to prepare the digital submission.
The following are some of the issues that I had to think about long and hard before parting with £20 and sending my entry.
- Three individual images or a sequence of three? This prompted further questions that I had to answer as honestly as possible. What kind of photographer am I? What do I do? Why am I taking photographs? What is the purpose of my photography?
- "…work that challenges the viewer…" what do they mean by that? What is it that they expect me to challenge, really? Preconceptions, social hierarchies, cultural understanding?
- "Above all we encourage free expression…creative approaches…" Does that mean that expression and creativity will have more specific weight than information and storytelling? Are they looking for more conceptual approaches to documentary?
I agonised on the above questions and trawled my stock of recent work, putting together a puzzle of submission guidelines, personal and commissioned work. I finally decided on three images that could be considered both as a sequence and individually. This was my submission:
A set of three images taken on commission for Tree Aid in 2011.
This is a summary of why I decided on these images in particular – deciding factors are not just purely visual:
- They work together to tell a story, that of people working to exhaustion in gold mines in Burkina for the sake of gold.
- They are the result of a genuine interaction between me as photographer and them as subjects of my photography – including the sleeping workers, to whom I spoke when they woke up soon after I took their picture. I feel my work was not only done for an ethical and worthwhile cause but also ethically produced. I feel it is legitimate to show it on an exhibition as long as I do not put my subjects out of context.
- They are visually uncluttered and the elements of design in them work well from a creative and expressive perspective. I believe they are photographs that attract the viewer's attention, which is a pre-requisite for subsequently conveying information to them. I also thought that the first two images, being almost monochromatic, provided a balance for the highly saturated third image.
- In the first two images we can see the faces of the gold miners, but the face of the gold wearer remains anonymous in the third photograph. Interestingly, it is the gold miners in developing countries the ones whose faces we don't see. I thought that the exhibition jury would pick up on the connotations of that.
The photograph of the two sleeping gold miners was selected by Foto8.
The final decision I had to make was to do with pricing the selected photograph. I had been paid for the job anyway; it was commissioned work. I felt awkward treating an image of two dusty Burkinabé gold miners as a commodity item. Isn't an art gallery photograph a commodity object after all?
A can of worms.
So I priced the framed print at £350. The Host Gallery gets 50% of that. It has cost me £55 to print and frame it and a further £12 to send it by courier. And this is what my entry in the exhibition catalogue will read:
101. Jose Navarro
Séguénéga in northern Burkina Faso is suffering serious environmental damage due to the growth of gold mining. There are nine major mines where workers, mostly young men, are paid by the number of bags of stones they dig out. 90% of able people in northern Burkina have been drawn to these mines.
70x50cm, framed£350 (100% of the profit made by the photographer through print sales goes to support the work of Tree Aid in Burkina Faso – www.treeaid.org)
I had no desire to open that can of worms. I took the photograph of the two gold miners to tell a story. I was paid for it. And while a gallery is a perfectly good place to show documentary, I have no intention of making of those two miners objects of consumption.
That's my answer to the questions I posed at the beginning of this article.
The exhibition will be on display at the Host Gallery 7th July – 18th Aug 2012. Make sure you go and see it because I have had a peek at the exhibition catalogue and there is very, very interesting work.

Councils have been accused of spending millions of pounds to delay settling "legitimate" equal pay claims.
More than £4m has already been spent by local authorities, which still have to deal with about 32,000 claims, according to figures obtained by the Conservatives.
About 3500 new claims were made in the past 18 months, the figures show.
Margaret Mitchell, the party's local government spokeswoman, said: "It is quite simply not sustainable that Scotland's councils are continuing the scandal of spending such enormous sums of money delaying the legitimate settlement of equal pay claims.
"Local authorities should be facing up to this and negotiating a solution, not spending millions booting the matter into the long grass.
"It has been evident for many years now that this is an issue which must be addressed yet five years on there are more outstanding claims than settled ones.
"Quite simply, the issue of equal pay is still a ticking timebomb in Scotland's local authorities with some recording a significant increase in the number of claims made every year."
Claims still outstanding range from single figures in some councils to more than 8000 in Glasgow, the largest of Scotland's 32 local authorities.
Totals spent on legal fees and other associated costs range from nothing to six-figure sums, such as £184,759 in Edinburgh and £598,477 in Glasgow.

Story at a Glance
"Through projects like the 11th Street Bridge, DDOT is recreating our city's transportation infrastructure network to promote safe, efficient, multi-modal travel throughout the Anacostia Waterfront area," said Mayor Vincent Gray.
Media Contacts
(WASHINGTON, DC) – The results are in: the leading magazine covering the transportation construction and maintenance industry has named the 11th Street Bridge in southeast Washington its top bridge project for 2012.
In its November issue, the editorial staff of Roads & Bridges magazine cited the design-build-to-budget procurement model as an innovative approach that saves time and money and applauded the project as "a triple-crown winner in traffic congestion relief, innovative delivery and environmental stewardship."
The project is replacing two bridges built in the 1960s with three new bridges which will separate local and freeway traffic. The new freeway bridges also provide much needed new direct connections between I-695 (SE/SW Freeway)) and both directions of the Anacostia Freeway (I-295/DC 295).
"Through projects like the 11th Street Bridge, the District Department of Transportation is recreating our city's transportation infrastructure network to promote safe, efficient, multi-modal travel throughout the Anacostia Waterfront area," said Mayor Vincent Gray. "Our city is proud of the 11th Street Bridge Project and excited about how this and future transportation projects will help improve the environment, spur economic growth and provide better access and more connections for our citizens on both sides of the river."
The design-to build-to budget procurement model the department adopted established a fixed price and delivery deadline, allowing the contractor to propose the most dynamic, innovative and cost effective plan, resulting in a cost savings of $100 million. While the design saves money and time—it also incorporates drainage, storm water treatment and other environmental and recreational investments that preserve the beauty and delicate ecology of the Anacostia River.
When Phase I is completed next year, the project will feature three new bridges, a new 16-foot pedestrian and bicycle path that connects to the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, and space for future streetcar tracks. Phase 2, which began this summer, is located within the Capitol Hill/Navy Yard area and includes replacing the 2-lane outbound I-695 (SE/SW Freeway) flyover bridge over M Street with a new 3-lane bridge structure.

In Recent Years
Citing a foot injury, Radcliffe withdrew from competing at the 2008 London Marathon. She then resumed her training in preparation for the women's marathon at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, held in Beijing, China. There, however, another injury would interfere with the runner's Olympic hopes. While running the marathon, she suffered a muscle cramp that slowed her down significantly, and subsequently finished 23rd in the race.
In 2010,
Radcliffe won induction into the England Athletics Hall of Fame. The following year, she placed third at the Berlin Marathon, finishing the women's marathon in 2 hours, 23 minutes and 46 seconds—the fourth-fastest 2011 marathon time by a European runner. The following year, she was beaten by Ethiopian runner Haile Gebrselassie at the Vienna Half Marathon.
Again citing a foot injury, Radcliffe decided not to compete at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, England.
