May 10, 2004
by Irwin Stelzer
"The economy is on steroids," an administration official told me last week, before the latest jobs report was released. The April jobs report, released late last week, certainly supported that view. The economy added 288,000 jobs last month, well above the 150,000 that most economists were expecting. The frosting on the cake was an upward revision of the previous month's report, from 308,000 new jobs to 337,000. If the economy continues this performance, more than two million new jobs will be created by the time voters go to the polls in November.
Bad news for the president's critics. They say that an economy on steroids might be growing, but it is excessively dependent on an artificial and unhealthy stimulus. The steroids being administered to the economy include a federal deficit that exceeds 4 percent of GDP, a trade deficit running at 5 percent of GDP, derisory interest rates, and tax refunds that are keeping consumers in the shops.
None of these steroids can be taken for long without producing a serious reaction—runaway inflation. The federal deficit will force investors to demand higher, growth-stifling interest rates from a government that will drown in red ink when the ageing baby boomers demand their pensions. The trade deficit is also unsustainable, say the worriers, because foreigners won't forever accept little bits of paper with pictures of American presidents on them, in return for automobiles, trainers and other goods. They will drive the value of the dollar down, making it worth less and stimulating inflation.
The low interest rates that have fueled consumer and corporate borrowing, and helped share prices to levitate, are also soon to be a thing of the past, as Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan has warned. Rising interest rates will discourage debt-ridden consumers from shopping and buying new homes. Finally, supplies of the final steroid, tax cuts, have been exhausted.
With these artificial stimulants removed, the economy is headed for bad times. To which cynical Republicans reply, "Yeah, but not before the November elections." More responsible analysts have a different answer: the economy's strength does not depend on artificial steroids, and the problems that have administration critics in full cry will be corrected without causing much more than a blip in the upward trajectory on which the economy is launched. Interest rates will rise, but not so much as to bring growth below 5 percent.
Consider these facts. The service sector is growing at its fastest rate in seven years; the manufacturing sector is on the rise; profits are growing at double-digit growth rates; consumer confidence is high; new and existing home sales were up by 8.9 percent and 5.7 percent, respectively, in March; and retail sales continue to grow, especially in high-end shops.
Even New York City's hard-hit economy is recovering. The city's key financial services companies are scrambling to add staff; restaurants are heavily booked; and for the first time my hotel of choice is fully occupied. On the Fourth of July, ground will be broken for the highest of the towers to replace the two destroyed on September 11, and in August the economy will receive a further fillip when thousands of free-spending Republicans descend on New York to renominate George W. Bush.
This city boomlet cheers the media types who dominate television and print reporting to the nation. With the value of their apartments rising at a London-style rate, and their friends finding jobs, they have turned bullish, and are radiating optimism to the rest of America.
The development that has economy-watchers most worried is the price of oil, which broke the $40 barrier last week. Supplies remain tight as Saudi Arabia continues to shut in some two million barrels per day of potential output, while at the same time hypocritically proclaiming its continued fidelity to a $22-$28 price range. Venezuela's output is about 500,000 barrels per day below normal levels, and other countries are producing about all they can. Demand, meanwhile, grows as China sucks in imports, Japan returns to sustainable growth, and American motorists remain impervious to soaring gasoline prices. Government sources, which have been predicting that prices will return to the $30 range, are about to retreat from that view, and up their guess to $35.
Add to these price pressures a rising risk premium. Threats to the northern pipeline make it imprudent to count on Iraq to continue exports at current levels of 1.8 million barrels per day. More important, terror attacks in Saudi Arabia have increased uncertainty about the durability of the House of Saud. Should Saudi exports be interrupted by terrorists, prices will certainly soar, even if American forces intervene, as is most likely.
Watching all of these developments with a practiced eye is Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan. He is quite relaxed about consumer debt, pointing out that the spurt of home-buying has reduced consumers' rent obligations by an amount about equal to the increase in their mortgage payments, while adding substantially to the asset side of consumer balance sheets.
He is also relatively unconcerned about the trade deficit. Last week he told a meeting in Chicago that "history suggests that current account imbalances will be defused with modest risk of disruption." Unless, of course, protectionists "erode global flexibility". Only the budget deficit worries him. And with good reason. Congress is fashioning a bill of corporate tax cuts that has executives licking their lips in anticipation of its passage.
In the end, all depends on whether productivity grows at a rate sufficient to offset the rising costs resulting from tightening labor markets, high oil and other commodity prices, and the modest increase in interest rates that is now in the cards. If it does, a 5 percent growth rate should be sustainable without triggering rapid inflation, even if high oil prices shave half-percentage point off of growth.

Some notes for the Ipanema consumer:
1) Wearing them will NOT make you look like G Bundchen.
2) PERHAPS she wears shoes from this collection when she is carrying out the rubbish in her low-key Bev Hills home, but PROBABLY she does not.
3) You could PROBABLY buy some very similar ones from Monsieur Price for very much less.
4) If you do buy them, please do NOT wear them with a ball gown, they look offensive.

New additions to the family are a tricky thing on Game of Thrones. On Sunday's episode, both Tyrion and Daenerys welcomed new members into their respective families.

"You're just not for everybody," comedic curmudgeon Marc Maron is told — by the more popular TV clown (at least among a comic-store backroom of Twitter nerds) Dave Foley, who plays a rather unflattering version of his real self, as does Maron, in IFC's new dark-side-of-laughter comedy series Maron (Friday, 10/9c). Sunnier than FX's Louie if only by virtue of being filmed in California, the sardonically squirm-inducing Maron alternates between slice-of-rant sitcom and self-obsessed podcast from the comedian's garage, where he vents on his unhappy personal life, his diarrhea-prone cats and his unruly, taunting Twitter following: "Who are these people? Don't they have lives?" You might well ask the same about Maron, although if he was happy (shades of Louie) there'd be no show.

It's the path less traveled. Or at least on this forum. I use emc2 and like it very much.
Looks like a real bargain and buying one myself. Should work fine with emc2 (but there is a weird and lengthy thread going on in the gecko forum). Honestly this should work out fine. It's not scaring me away from buying. Kelinginc can package it with ps and motors. Might save a few bucks.- Gecko G540 4-axis step motor drive
I have a mini-mill (X2) kit from them. Cncfusion is golden imo. Nice folks.- Micro-Mill CNC kit #1 from cncfusion.com
No clue what it costs to import stuff in NZ. Best guess: costly I'll assume you already own the mill.My budget is NZD$3000~4000.

TopCubans Experience:
Rustic and Grandiose! One of the famous Havana cigars mainly due to its presentation format. The cigars come in layered 8, 9, 8 sticks, and bundled in the very recognizable Partagas 'Fagot'. This is a powerful Churchill, sometimes even harsh. Flavours of roasted cacao and mocha adorn the primary spicy wood taste and give this cigar its reputation for being a connoisseurs choice. I reserve this Churchill as my dinner party cigar, finding it the best accompaniment to large and rich meals. This is a noble cigar, made for the experienced palate and for the cigar lovers extreme pleasure! |

i have been offered a position in a start-up...i was initially told that my 100,000 share options were 0.25% of "the allocated shares".
In my own research i came across terms for "diluted stock". which i believe is all the shares have company have issued... but may not have allocated.
I asked the company for their total number of diluted shares and they replied saying that there were about 250million shares in issue on a fully diluted basis.
Does this mean that my % of the company is actually 0.04%.
Or if they have only allocated 40 million shares then my percentage is 0.25%.... which is what they are telling me.
I'm concerned that even if they have only issued 40million shares... if they go through further rounds of funding.. my percentage will be diluted even further.
Also... if the company were to be bought...(which i believe is their exit strategy) when the buyer comes to value the company... do they look at the diluted stock only when making an offer?
They are well financed.. $100million... and have visions to be worth $1billion in 3-5 years..
if they did reach that $1billion dollar valuation.. would i be right in saying that $1billion dollars divided by 250,000,000 shares.. gives a valuation of $4 a share.. so my options would be worth $400,000 (less the strike rate).
thanks in advance....J

L.E.P. Bogus Boys follow up their hit single "Commas" with the remix featuring Young Jeezy, T.I. and fellow Chicago MC, Spenzo.
Clyde Carson enlists Young Jeezy and Game to the remix of "Pour Up".
Young Jeezy put his emotions on the record after last night's verdict of not guilty for George Zimmerman. It comes with this note:
I am in no way shape, form, or fashion am trying to capitalize off of the latest series of events. These are my true feelings and my form of expression about it.

An all-new remix of #Beautiful now featuring a new verse from Young Jeezy and a flip on the production by DJ Mustard.
If you can remember last week I posted about Mariah Carey and Miguel possibly shooting a video for the remix of "#Beautiful," and it appears that was indeed what they were doing. This past weekend Mariah hit the studio with rapper Young Jeezy and producer Mike Will Made It. Jeezy hinted the possibility that he will in fact be on the remix tweeting:
I'm just going to take a wild guess and say Mike Will Made It will serve as the producer for the remix. That and he tweeted, "In the yo working with one of the worlds biggest RnB female artist. Another Banger." Mariah Carey's new album The Art of Letting Go will be in stores July 23rd. Also she is confirmed along with Justin Timberlake to performing this Sunday at the 2013 BET Awards.
Iamsu! adds a verse to this remix.
Yo Gotti gives us this new single "Act Right" featuring Young Jeezy and YG. This will appear on Gotti's debut album I Am dropping later this year.

Il Diavolo Rosso
Italy was, after France, the second nation to truly embrace cycle racing and in doing so, help define the sport throughout the 20th century. In fact, according to some, the sport's first true professional was a racer from the northern Italian town of Asti. And it was this man, Giovanni Gerbi, who won the first ever edition of the Tour of Lombardy, in 1905. Originally named Milan-Milan and run over a distance of 230km, in its formative years it became known as the 'World Championship of Autumn'.
"Fifty-five took part as Gerbi triumphed following a 199km lone breakaway. His average speed, a shade under 25kph, left Italians awestruck…"
– From Maglia Rosa by Herbie Sykes
Gerbi was certainly the stuff of legend. A notoriously explosive character, he rode to numerous victories at dynamite pace and wearing his trademark blood-red jersey, reminiscent of the vino rosso for which his native Piedmont region was famed. In 1903, he won Milan-Turin by more than half an hour and in 1904 became the first Italian to race at the newly established Tour de France.
As a child Gerbi was expelled from school for pugilistic tendencies. His father bestowed upon him the gift of a bicycle, which proved the perfect way to channel the young brute's aggression. He was dubbed Il Diavolo Rosso, the Red Devil, in part due to the colour of his jerseys, but also thanks to the devilish streak he displayed throughout his professional career.
Folklore has it that, in 1906, he tied up a signalman at a level crossing after he broke away on the second edition of the by now renamed Giro di Lombardia. With his rivals forced to take a detour, the Red Devil cruised to victory, allegedly rubbing his hands with glee like a silent-movie nasty.
When his misdemeanour was uncovered he was banned for two years. His fans became enraged. Gerbi's huge appeal had contributed to a surge in sales of the Gazzetta dello Sport which, spreading like Gerbi's evil grin, topped 100,000 copies at the peak of his popularity. Aware of his great publicity value the race organizers duly reduced his ban. If the incident produced cycling's first supervillain, it also helped establish the Giro di Lombardia as one of the sport's legendary one-day races.
The 106th Giro di Lombardia takes place tomorrow, Saturday 29th September.

The business case for digital signage
13 Mar, 2012 By: Andrew SheivachmanDuring an economic downturn that left operators strapped for CapEx dollars, digital signage in public areas tended to be a low priority for most hoteliers. Recent reductions in the cost of TVs, in addition to shifting guest expectations, mean that brands are putting a new focus on exploring the opportunities presented by digital signage as a touch point and potential revenue generator.
"Ninety-five percent of LG's revenue comes from the consumer product stream, so it drives availability of technology," said Dan Smith, director of digital signage for LG. "Smart TVs are starting to come into their own on the retail level for consumers. In general, something similar to what a tablet does today is what TVs will do in coming years. But when we're talking about this all in one solution, there are limits."
New models from vendors such as LG and Samsung include limited built-in slideshow technology that can allow a hotelier to simply display information or slideshows on screen. "The high-end industrial devices have twice the life expectancy and require a separate media player," said Smith. "They need video rendering, where they can render live video or Flash video. Our system is not designed to layer and render multiple layers of video; I don't think they're going to get that far because it adds too much cost to panel."
Despite the increased costs of a high-quality screen and a separate media player, digital signage investment gives hotels a more robust set of tools to reach guests. "The hotel industry is doing much better financially, so now many chains are looking to improve branding and the customer experience at the same time," said Smith. "Anything dynamic is far more exciting for the customer. Instead of looking through pamphlets, guests can see videos and do some interactive delving into actual things. From the hotel side or owner side, their intent is to create branding to drive loyalty and repeat visits. It's far more compelling to present a concept via digital signage, and more effective than trying to train people behind the desk. The message will always be the same."

Wet, heavy snow and rain showers brought a rather dismal end to the weekend yesterday for Upper Michigan, and it appears today won't bring much change.
A strong area of low pressure will depart the Great Lakes region today, kicking up strong north-northwesterly winds and more wintry precipitation. The good news is that the showers won't be as widespread as yesterday. Snow will likely be the main precipitation type north, with more scattered, more liquid precipitation south. Any snow will still be the wet heavy stuff, though, as temperatures will once again be hovering above freezing in the afternoon.
Even after some clearing tonight, it looks like we'll get another shot of rain and snow tomorrow evening. A small scale, but fairly potent low pressure system will swing by Lake Superior in that timeframe and kick up some more precipitation and keep Wednesday on the unsettled side as well.
Thursday looks to be the first appreciably clear day this week--check out the full extended forecast on our weather page to see if that'll be the start of a clearing trend.

Stove Top Stuffing Hilarious "Scurvy" Commerical
In case you missed this commericial it was the funniest of the Thanksgiving Holiday Season.
Next Year Let's forget the turkey and head to Walmart
This year more stores than ever were open on Thanksgiving Day. This first started happening a few years ago and only a few stores did it. Walmart and ToysRUs were pioneers of opening Thanksgiving evening, but apparently the evening was simply not enough. This year more stores were open for more hours, and more people stepped away from the dinner table and headed off to the stores. Retailers are thrilled but WWTPS (What Would The Pilgrims Say?) What is Thanksgiving anyway? The definition is in the name Thanks For Giving. The Pilgrims thanked God for sustaining them in the New World. Over the years we have seen all of our holidays no matter how sacred turned into an opportunity to shop. We've got the President's Sale, the MLK Holiday (last year a swim suit company put his image in a wetsuit as part of their sales strategy), The Easter Sale, Memorial Day Sale, Labor Day Sale and now the Thanksgiving Day Sale. Black Friday as bled into the holiday, and is attempting to completely blot it out. The true meaning of the holiday gets lost in pursuit of the dollar. So next year let's forget the turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Who has time to cook all the goodies? Who has the time to spend with families and friends and talk about the good ole days? Who has time to teach younger generations how to to bake a cake from scratch or how make homemade macaroni and cheese? Nobody has time when there are XBoxes, 100 inch televisions, Tablets, Sweaters, shoes and boots to buy. The fact is all of these things need to be purchased on Thanksgiving Day because on Friday there will be nothing to sell? That's not true everything will be there for the next month, but all the media hype sent families out in the cold when a few years ago they were home enjoying another piece of pie.
Is the media hyping the "Knockout Game"?

All of that may be true but you start down a slippery slope when you let someone die or go without medical attention just because you decide they don't deserve it. You help people because you would want them to help you, not because of anything they did.
Don't take what they say personally. You have a good heart and believe in doing the right thing.
I am not a proponent of allowing criminals to get away with anything, but when you start allowing them to die just because you don't like what they do, that makes you no better than them.

Using Bathroom Tiles to Create Space
Link: http://www.tileflair.co.uk/category-is-bathroom-tiles/
Using larger bathroom tiles can make the room appear bigger, especially in lighter natural tones. The science behind this theory is that lighter colours (such as white or cream), elongates the room look as they reflect the light. When these effects are combined with a glossy tile the effects are stunning.
Another top tip for creating space using bathroom tiles is using one colour for the wall tiles and floor tiles which help create the illusion of space. Co-ordinating floor tiles and wall tiles are also effective in making the room appear sleek rather than breaking it up. The Palace range is a perfect example of how floor and wall tiles can compliment each other to maximise the space in your bathroom.
It is also important to consider the finish of the bathroom tiles. Matt colours can absorb the light but if you are thinking about using glossy tiles to reflect the light in your bathroom be warned that they can become slippery when wet, so either use textured floor tiles or take precautions if using glossy tiles on the floor. You can still create the illusion of more space with glossy wall tiles.
Although there are many benefits of larger tiles making the bathroom appear larger, there are some occasions when bigger is not always better. For example, darker colours and big statement tiles can sometimes be overbearing on smaller bathrooms so in this instance you can add a flash of statement, just enough to have impact but keeping the space. If you would like to use colour but have a small bathroom, our Decko bathroom tiles help you add a splash of colour whilst keeping the rest of the room light and airy.
We hope that this gives you an indication of the ways in which you can make your bathroom appear larger but if you are unsure of what bathroom tiles will make the most of the space ask one of our friendly staff members- details of how to contact us can be found on the advice page. Alternatively pop into one of our stores and one of our team members will be more than happy to help you achieve the bathroom of your dreams.

He is from the rabbit year, "2011 - The year of Ryeowook!". He has such an adorbably weird aegyo. He is the master of the butt dance. He likes sweet potatoes. He is afraid of big roller coasters. He is awkward swimming. Poor baby can't play soccer. He has the Moves Like Jagger. He plays the piano with so much passion. He loves taking selcas. He likes free makeup samples. He can sleep like a sloth, the whole day. His english is adorable. He loves Winnie The Pooh! He is a cry baby.

Readers respond to Friday's "Demand accountability from judges, too" Denver Post article from Clear The Bench Colorado
After a few weeks (and a Face The State article - "Supreme Court's temporary digs draw a dart from court critics" - noting the Denver Post's lack of critical coverage of the Colorado Supreme Court, and the issue of judicial retention elections, since the Colorado Supreme Court began paying the Denver Newspaper Agency $1.6 million in annual rent for office space in the Denver Post building) the Denver Post published our response this Friday (July 2nd) to a June 11th article defending incumbent judges and attacking critiques of the court ("Criticism of retiring Judge (sic) Mullarkey unfair").
The guest commentary (published under the "My Turn" header as "Demand accountability from judges, too") generated a fair amount of response and reader comments, considering its appearance at the start of the 4th of July holiday weekend. We've excerpted some of the most interesting comments below (since Post readership is declining, you may have missed it) and invite additional comment here or on the Post's website. Also, the full version of the original article (the Post's version was heavily edited for space) can be viewed here for purposes of comparison (Accountability, Transparency apply to the Colorado Supreme Court, too).
Comments on the Post website opened up with the obligatory salvo from the paid "trolls" who surf the comments section attempting to "spin" the message to their side:

"CTBC's message is: Get informed, using a variety of sources. Then do your duty as citizens."
This is inaccurate. And it exposes CTBC's political agenda. "Clear the Bench" would otherwise be named "Get Informed Before You Vote". All appellate court decisions are published and available for review by the public. CTBC focuses on one or two of hundreds, and hopes that you will side with its disgruntled founder's self-interested attacks on judges that he doesn't agree with. CTBC's arguments are intellectually and morally flawed, and should be ignored.
The commenter (Paul W., or "corndog") works for one of the organizations supporting the current incumbents. Although he (correctly) points out that "all appellate court decisions are published and available for review by the public" (Clear The Bench Colorado also links to those decisions and other references in the interest of an informed electorate) he fails to mention that it is VERY difficult to find any useful information on the Colorado Supreme Court site unless you already know what you're seeking. Clear The Bench Colorado does focus on a subset of the "hundreds" of Colorado Supreme Court cases – we have highlighted several (not "one or two") decisions that have the most impact on Colorado citizens and the state as a whole, and that have most blatantly and egregiously violated the clear language of the Colorado Constitution. The fact that the "Supremes" might get it right on several cases of interest only to the parties involved does NOT excuse the fact that on the most consequential cases, dealing with core issues of constitutional law and affecting the entire population of the state, the current majority has repeatedly come down on the wrong side of the law and violated your rights.
The Colorado Supreme Court – and particularly, the Chief Justice – exercises enormous power ("clout") over the lives of Colorado citizens. The current majority has repeatedly demonstrated that it does not exercise this power with restraint or consideration for your constitutional rights – ruling consistently against individual protections and in favor of expanded government power. Upholding tax increases (such as the "Mill Levy Tax Freeze" property tax increase, or the "Dirty Dozen" new tax laws) imposed without the required vote of the people, enabling taxes to be collected under the guise of "fees" (such as the Colorado Car Tax), expanding eminent domain abuse to seize people's property, and grabbing the (legislative) power to draw up voting districts (aided by the recent "Mary-mandering" bill) – this court is acting like rulers, with you as the subjects; re-writing the laws, instead of upholding them.
Other comments reflected citizen interest in and understanding of the importance of the judiciary in our system of government and the need for citizens to take seriously their responsibility to hold these officials accountable:
Article Discussion: Demand accountability from judges, too
by infossh on July 2nd, 2010, 11:02 amIn general, judges have become complacent and often see themselves as lifetime justices. They also assume that their role is to change the semantics of laws to accommodate what they perceive in changes of social order and understanding.
That is certainly the case in Colorado's Supreme Court. It's time for a renewal of commitment to the wisdom of the rule of law rather than the vagaries of whim that have come to determine judicial ruling.
Re: Article Discussion: Demand accountability from judges, too
by jpa11074 on July 2nd, 2010, 11:24 amCTBC does a great service to those of us that believe we should be an informed electorate. Finding information on judges has historically been very difficult, and for the life of me I don't understand why some would want to silence anyone trying to get detailed information out to the public so they can make informed decisions. That is, of course, unless they don't want that information made available to the voters. "Yup, just tell me how to vote and don't get me mired any of the detail." Right.
The many, not just "one or two" decisions, CTBC has highlighted clearly show why these 4 justices should not be retained. The light of day disinfects much, and in this case, hopefully our supreme court. I just wish we had similar information easily available (judges decision records) for all of our judges….
Many comments focused on the need for transparency and accountability, with information from a variety of sources:
I Can "Judge" Just Fine, Thanks
by throatwarbler on July 2nd, 2010, 11:45 amThe remedy for speech that you don't like is your own speech! Anyone who doesn't like CTBC's message is free to create their own web-site. Retainthesegoodjudges.com is probably available. By all means, go for it. I'll be the first to go read it. I'm sure it will be interesting.
Regardless of where I get my information, I consider the source. If I get info from a lawyers group, I think about the fact that they have to work with these judges (at their mercy). I can also evaluate the "disgrunt" factor of other sources. For once, I GET TO BE THE JUDGE!
Article Discussion: Demand accountability from judges, too
by polygirl on July 2nd, 2010, 12:53 pmIt seems to me that we "the people" have the right to retain or not retain judges who make decisions that affect all of our lives. Our political system is one of accountability through the electoral process. We should know as much about these judges as we do about any other candidate for office and make an informed choice in the voting booth. Clear the Bench is doing something that should have been done a long time ago — giving more scrutiny to politically appointed lifetime judges that we have the people have a right to retain or oust.

Somehow it just doesn't ring true that hearing from a citizen's group highlighting judicial decisions and sharing opinions as to whether the judges are good for us, will harm us and then jump to the conclusion we'll have only judges "hired by the most money." Considering how typically difficult and time consuming it is to sort through court decisions, I'm delighted to have someone do some of the work for me, then follow through with my own analysis of their opinions and recommendations.
Instead of generalizations from Corndogsaredelicious, maybe he would simply tell us what his substantive argument(s) is(are) with Mr. Arnold's and CTBC's opinions on these justices. That would be helpful. Is it only CTBC that Corndogsaredelicious does not want to air their synthesis in public, or is it any or all citizen groups? Or just some groups? Or should we just allow the State Commission on Judicial Performance decide who to retain, and not have the voters "bother" having opinions or retention votes?
Some readers also fired back at the attacks on the notion of outside citizen's groups having a say in evaluating the judiciary:
Re: Article Discussion: Demand accountability from judges, too
by H J Ledbetter, J.D. on July 2nd, 2010, 12:51 pm
I have done far more than research Matthew Arnold, as Paul W suggests. Paul W has clearly never met Mr. Arnold, nor informed himself of what has been going on in the Colorado Supreme Court for the last few years. I know Matt Arnold. He is a gutsy man who doesn't mind some sniping from positions of ignorance. He has done his research, and so have I. I read the cases that these folks decided. I didn't read them as an uninformed observer either. I read them with the foundation of more than 35 years of the practice of law behind me, including a fair number of appellate cases. What's more, even the justices themselves are identifying some of the worst aspects of what these justices are doing. Please refer to Justice Eid's dissent in Mesa County v Ritter. She tells it like it is. She shows just how far the majority opinion went to make sure that no vestige of TABOR remains in Colorado. The will of the people of Colorado is being tossed aside like a dirty tissue.
Beyond that, I have had a personal conversation with Justice Bender, who told me (while looking me right in the eye), that the purpose of the Colorado Supreme Court was to "make Colorado law". So, if you are a left-leaning person who believes that the justice system should be as active at law-making as the legislature, he is your guy. But if you think that laws should be made in the legislature, and applied by the courts, then maybe it is time that these four (now three) justices should find new jobs where they can be less "active" in making Colorado law that neither you nor I want.
It is about time that someone started pulling back the curtain on the mysteries that surround us in government. Thanks Matt for doing so!
Finally, some commenters provided their own analysis of several court cases (particularly the "Mill Levy Tax Freeze" case which unconstitutionally increased property taxes without a vote of the people and ripped open a loophole through which the legislature rammed through the "Dirty Dozen" tax increase bills this year) and provided additional insight into the Judicial Performance Review Commission that was the subject of the dueling Denver Post articles:
Re: Article Discussion: Demand accountability from judges, too
by PETERCOULTER on July 3rd, 2010, 9:40 am
In order to fairly assess the results of the Judicial Performance Commission (JPC) one must be familiar with it's rules (http://www.coloradojudicialperformance.gov/) and whether they comply with their respective State Statute. (CRS 13.5.501 ) Of importance here are the rules complete absence of real public input concerning the selection of appellate and supreme court justices. In fact, in an article (http://law2.fordham.edu/publications/ar … ub8522.pdf) about the JPC, ex-Supreme Court Judge, Jean Dubofsky wrote. "The primary structural problem with the JPC is that the appointing authorities have complete control over the political make-up of the commissions, as there is no requirement for partisan balance. Thus, the commission membership depends upon the political affiliation of the appointing authorities." followed by "Experienced commissioners tend to think that the public hearings are a waste of time." The result being that the public now feels that activist judges are being evaluated by activist (read political) commissions. This point is highlighted by Democrat's reaction to Mr. Arnold and the CTBC organization. Democratic party attorney Mark Grueskin has teamed up with Democrat Jean Dubofsky in an effort to offset the increasing influence of CTBC. (http://www.lawweekonline.com/tag/jean-dubofsky/) They are prohibited from doing it directly so instead they have implemented a strategy to convince the public that they can trust the recommendations of the JPC. In order to do so one has to overlook that the commissioners were appointed by a majority Democrat Legislature, Democrat Governor, and Democrat Supreme Court Justice Mullarkey*.
The results of these actions are an activist Judiciary that holds no accountability to the citizens of Colorado, a self serving "country club" mentality. It should be of no surprise then that when it gets out of control, someone like Matt Arnold and CTBC pushes back. Another example of this are ballot questions 60, 61 and 101 which in reality restore the provisions of the TABOR amendment. If not for the activist Supreme Court gutting the intent of TABOR and the citizens of Colorado; these questions would not be before the voters again. In questioning by US Senator Whitehouse, Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan defined the relationship of politics to the Court, "the people need to trust the Court as a non-political body." The outcome of retention voting for justices Bender, Martinez and Rice (and also Gilmore and Blair who acted as shameless prosecutors of Tim Masters) will not only indicate the voter's confidence in the respective judges; but also their confidence in the objectivity and recommendations of the status quo Judicial Performance Commission or those of Clear the Bench Colorado. /Peter Coulter/
Clear The Bench Colorado very much appreciates the interest and engagement demonstrated by so many of the comments submitted to the Denver Post website, and encourages further discussion – after all, it's YOUR rights that are at stake. Join the discussion – right here and/or on the Denver Post site.
We The People can (indeed, as citizens, we must) hold our public officials – both elected and appointed – accountable. Be a citizen, not a subject – get informed, then exercise your right to vote "NO" this November on the four (er, three remaining) 'unjust justices' of the Colorado Supreme Court's "Mullarkey Majority"- (Justices Michael Bender, Alex Martinez, Nancy Rice – soon to be minus Chief Justice Mary Mullarkey) who need YOUR approval to continue taking away your constitutional rights: your right to vote on tax increases, your right to defend your home or business against seizure via eminent domain abuse, your right to be fairly represented in the legislature and Congress, and your right to enjoy the benefits of the rule of law, instead of suffering under rule by activist, agenda-driven "justices." Continue to support Clear The Bench Colorado with your comments (Sound Off!) and your contributions – and vote "NO" on giving these unjust justices another 10-year term!

Fuel for Innovation
To ensure the best possible foundations for our innovations, we're working to harness and develop the best science and technology available.
Through extensive literature and patent reviews, we identified the latest scientific advances from a variety of fields that could improve pit latrine performance.
From this basis, we selected the most promising technologies to take forward in our innovation process and developed a scientific research agenda to fill in the gaps in current understanding.
Applying Existing Technology
We reviewed the latest developments in science and technology which could help tackle the problem of pit latrine filling.
By exploring progress across a range of relevant disciplines, including microbiology, enzymology and biomass conversion, we found many exciting approaches.
We also carried out a broad survey of science and patent literature, against which we tested five hypotheses for possible effective approaches to enhancing waste breakdown. This technology landscaping process revealed ideas to support most of our hypotheses, forming a key input for our innovation process.
Building New Knowledge
We're bringing together leading expertise in biochemistry, physical chemistry, microbial diversity, mathematical modelling and geophysical mapping.
Together these experts enable us to maximise our learning about pit latrine performance through two closely-linked lines of work:
- Analysing and modelling latrine contents and processes to identify the major factors which control fill rate
- Understanding the influence of pit design, environment, usage and location on decomposition rates and pit lifetime.
Our scientific research is designed to make new discoveries about factors that affect the break-down of pit latrine contents – discoveries that can drive future innovation for improved sanitation.
Get Involved
We'd love to hear from researchers, scientists or product developers who have ideas for how we can solve the exciting challenges we face.
Please get in touch if you think you can help.

Aquino plans massive relocation of squatters
by Joyce Pangco Pañares
[ manilastandardtoday.com ] May 7-8, 2011
JAKARTAPresident Benigno Aquino III said late Saturday more than half a million squatter families in Metro Manila will be relocated and receive two hectares of farm land each under his administrations program on illegal settlers.
He said the government had identified some 1.5 million hectares of farm land that could be distributed to an initial 560,000 squatter families in Metro Manila in a bid to decongest the capital and improve agricultural production nationwide.
One out of four families in Metro Manila are informal settlers [squatters], Mr. Aquino told reporters at the Four Seasons Jakarta hotel.
The Department of Agriculture and the Department of Environment inventory shows we can lend, lease or give two hectares of land per indigent family provided they cultivate agricultural crops, develop, and earn from the land they will live on.
If they fail to stick to these conditions, the land will be taken from them.
Mr. Aquino said there were about 1.4 million squatter families nationwide, and of those more than a third were in Metro Manila.
He said initial studies showed the government could match the specific provinces where the indigent families would want to move to nationwide that had some 1.5 million hectares of state-owned land.
We have to give these families a reason to go back where they came from. It will be a complete package, including support [for farming], Mr. Aquino said.
You will need political will and coordination of credit.
Earlier, Mr. Aquino said relocating the squatters would cost at least P100 billion or P200,000 per household.
He said his approach was better than the traditional method of giving houses to relocated squatters, noting that if a family built a 30-square-meter house on a 45-square-meter property, it would have only 15 square meters left to cultivate, hardly enough to make a living.
Although the law requires the government to provide alternative housing to those who are evicted, efforts to relocate squatters often end in violence.
Last month, squatters battled police and demolition teams trying to evict them from a burned-out shantytown in the Laperal compound, a stones throw away from the countrys financial and commercial center. The street battles tied up traffic on Epifanio delos Santos Avenue for at least an hour.
hindi dapat bine-baby ang mga p-tang inang squatter na ito! we're the ones paying taxes. tayo LANG ang dapat pakinggan at pagsilbihan ng gobyerno because we pay taxes while squatters DO NOT.
Everytime a squatter is relocated by the government, they shouldn't give them the title of ownership dun sa ibinigay nilang bahay/lupa. Kasi ibinebenta lang nila. The government should just lease it to them for 10 to 50 years.

Some years back my mom gave me an old church cookbook. It was the centennial celebration of a church in Wisconsin. In fact, it was the church where my maternal grandparents said "I do." Mom passed it along to me when she realized she had two copies.
Over the years, I've made a few things in it, some with success and some not. The trouble is that not being published by an actual publishing company, its editing and accuracy standards were pretty low. For instance, one cookie recipe called for one egg but the directions below said "stir in eggs." So I'm left to figure out whether the list of items is correct or if the directions are.
Still, it came in handy this weekend, when I finally got around to fulfilling my neighbors request for a pierogi recipe. She did not specify from which country she wanted the recipe nor whether she was expecting meat-, cheese- or potato-filled. So I hope it's OK that I went with my Polish roots and just followed the recipe provided in my largely Polish-descent neighborhood church cookbook.
The recipe wasn't the easiest to follow. Most recipes are written as if from another time, as evidenced first by the fact that the ladies don't use their own first name. Then, by the fact that many of the recipes are obviously from the Depression-era, using every piece of meat, etc. they can. So my pierogi recipe did not call for cottage cheese as the filling, and instead asked for dried cottage cheese and enough cream to moisten. That was just one of the guesses I made. But nonetheless, here's what it called for (and how I did it):
2 cups flour
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
2 T. water (I found I had to use much more, maybe eggs used to be bigger)
1 cup (ish) cottage cheese
2 T. minced onions (I used much more)
1 egg
salt and pepper, to taste
The recipe suggested I cut the rolled-out dough, to 1/8 inch, into triangles or ovals. I tried both and found oblong works a little better, but I think I probably had the best luck with squares. I also really struggled with getting the filling in and getting it shut, without leaking or soaking the dough, so I may not have the best ideas here about how to seal off dough. I'm thinking of investing in the little rolling thing that people use to seal off ravioli.
I painfully put filling in each piece of dough and hoped I could get it closed before the liquid seeped out. And I learned a little too late that the pierogi should have been placed on flour while waiting to be poached in boiling water. Once all were made, I started throwing them in the water, which helped stop the filling from leaking out.
After finishing the batch, I took a dozen or so and, six at a time, fried them in butter. I put the store-bought fried onion crunchies on the top, which was the only part of the meal that didn't work (and the piece I stupidly took from a Wikipedia suggestion). Maybe if I'd fried them myself, but I don't think they're at all necessary after the dough's been fried. The frying adds enough texture.
If anyone, my neighbor included, can share secrets of sealing filling inside of dough, whether it's pierogi or ravioli (I have a great ravioli recipe I've been too afraid to try), I'd welcome the learning experience so there's a little less swearing in my lovely kitchen.
Still, it had to be easier (and taste WAY better) than making fish in clear Jell-O, another Polish treat.
No plans yet for what to cook this weekend. I'm still a little tired from three loaves of bread, waffles, macaroni and cheese and pierogi in one weekend, not including a Thursday dessert baking experience.

Three budgets for the Federal Government are being proposed by Republicans and Democrats in Congress. Ellen Frank, a University of Massachussetts economist who writes for Dollars and Sense, talks with the Old Mole's Bill Resnick about the values behind each of them and what their impact would be.
In the course of confirmation hearings for John Brennan as director of the CIA, the question was posed, "Can the President order the killing of an American citizen on US soil?" In this commentary, Clayton Morgareidge reads from two recent articles about Rand Paul's filibuster of the Brennan nomination, asking how did such a question become a serious one, and whether the Democrats should have supported Paul.
Iven Hale reads this piece by Gyassi Ross from Indian Country Media Network about how rape impacts Native American women and political opposition to extending the Violence Against Women Act.
Noam Chomsky's recent piece, published on AlterNet, asks whether Capitalism, as it really exists, is compatible with democracy, or even civilization. Tom Becker reads it here for us.
Bill Resnick attended the rally on Sunday in support of the Postal Service workers and against cuts in service, including Saturday deliveries. He recorded sound bites from speeches and interviews at the rally, plus a more extended defense of the Postal Service by Willie Goshell, in the KBOO studios. From it all, we learn more than we knew about what the Postal Service does to bind communities together.
Iven Hale hosts this episode of the Mole dealing with Congressional Budget proposals, drones and filibusters, rape and Native Americans, civilization's fate in the hands of capitalism, and the fight to save the US Postal Service.
