Economic History. We've Been Here Before but We Forgot.
Tuesday, July 10th, 2012From the Social Science Research Center a nice speech explaining some history of economic thought by economist Erik Reinert. Thanks to Mark Thoma at economist'w view for highlighting Reinert's speech.
What we're undergoing today has happened before; in 1848, the 1890s, the 1930s, and again today. In each period economic thought became dominated by classical economics. Other, often complementary, economic approaches were pushed aside. In each instance it became apparent that classical economics failed to avoid or explain, subsequent economic collapses. In each case other more practical theories came to the rescue. Call it common sense or applied economics–whatever–classical theories turned out to be just that, theories. And in each period classical economics were, at minimum, salted with other economic ideas that worked better in reality.
Today we're back in the soup, again. And just as occured the last couple centuries those classical theories, resurrected and now formalised in elegant mathematics, have produced mal-investments and extreme economic underperformance. From the speech:
In the case of financial crisis, long periods of economic stability produce easy credit, which with time creates instability and systemic risk, even with a small economic downturn. In the case of economics, long periods of economic stability create a belief that a Physiocratic (today's laissez faire) approach of deregulated market – which may work well for a while – will forever solve all problems. Both the French Revolution and the European Revolutions of 1848 were results of an overdose of Physiocratic thinking, and both cases produced a return to Anti-Physiocratic – active – economic policies. The present financial crisis falls in the same category of an overdose of Physiocratic de-regulation, the famous "flaw" that Alan Greenspan discovered was a typical Physiocratic flaw: the market, if left alone, did not produce automatic harmony, but financial collapse. It remains to be seen if – and how fast – Anti-Physiocratic regulatory measures can be put back. Strong vested interests wish to prevent it….
A key problem of mathematized neo-classical economics that came into fashion during the Cold War was that it only came with one very high level of abstraction: the tools used automatically disregarded any and all real-life nuances and differences. By disregarding all differences between economic activities, between human beings, and between cultures, economics became a science depicting markets as producing automatic harmony. Economists proved, not very surprisingly, that a standardized humanity in a world where all economic activities were identical, would produce equality. When communism promised "from each according to ability and to each according needs," this became an unnecessary complication of things: the market would also produce equality. That the apparent equality of outcome that the models produced was simply a result of the assumptions on which the theory was based – how could a model where everything is identical and equal produce anything but equality as an outcome? – was simply not listened to. The West sorely needed models supporting the perfection of the market system, and we got it…..
When Margaret Thatcher famously said "there is no such thing as society" she was merely stating a fundamental assumption of ruling economic theory. Assuming no difference between economic activities and a frictionless economy, economists modeled a world where a coordinating nation-state was no longer needed. So Ronald Reagan's statement that "government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem"[41] was completely in line with ruling economic theory at the time. The society modeled in neo-classical economics did not need governments, only centuries of experience would contrast what had become the mathematically obvious fact expressed by Reagan. Economic theory modeled a world with no voluntary unemployment, and it therefore became legitimate to label all the unemployed of the world as "lazy." Neo-classical economic modeling produced that blend of wishful thinking, ignorance, and intolerance which we call neoliberalism….
That by abstracting from key agents and key phenomena economics had also abdicated from studying reality only became evident much later. Under a guise that the magic of the market would create factor-prize equalization, the opposite movement – towards a polarization of incomes – is taking place. In the meantime vested interests took over increasingly larger slices of the economy. Under the assumption that the financial sector can be treated as any other sector in the economy, and under the assumption that no regulation of the financial sector was necessary (the abandonment of the Glass-Steagall Act), individuals and nations are increasingly becoming debt slaves to the financial sector. Under the assumption of perfect competition, what used to be called natural monopolies – the opposite of perfect competition – have been privatized, and long-lasting monopolies and quasi-monopolies have been created. All in all, the economics profession became a useful tool (and fool) for the vested interests of a 'plutocracy'. Under the assumption that markets would create automatic harmony, the West – particularly the United States – is embarking on a process of Darwinian survival of the fittest, a movement that previously had been stopped starting in the 1890s and again in the 1930s. The distribution of wealth and income is moving in the direction of a post-industrial feudalism, but a new type of feudalism, where power is not narrowly based on land ownership but on financial ownership in general…..
What needs to be reconstructed is a science of practice:a theory based on human observations of facts. This contrasts with today's standard economics, where observations of reality tend to be filtered through a set of arbitrary and – from the point of view of observable reality – mostly totally inappropriate assumptions. This theory produces accuracy, but at the expense of relevance.
Margaret Thatcher famously said "there is no alternative," and in this tradition capitalism is often presented as one solid block of theory to which there is no alternative. Hyman Minsky, on the other hand, argued that there are fifty-seven varieties of capitalism.[43] To explore and reconstruct the many alternative versions of capitalism, we need to resurrect the methodology of the historical schools: creating new knowledge by connecting previously unconnected facts. Present mainstream theory cannot for ever explain away important phenomena as "market failure" rather than recognize them for what they really are: theory failure.
Beezer here. We've had a series of 'market failures' the past 22 years in particular: The Orange County (CA) bankruptcy in 1989, the S&L collapse of 1990-92; the Long Term Capital Management (LTCM) collapse of the late 1990s, the North Atlantic banking collapse of 2007–08 and the European Union banking crisis of today. Neo-classical economics got blindsided by all of them, yet those theories simply won't die even though they're obviously seriously flawed. These cannot be simply wished away as 'market failures.' These are theory failures. We need to get back to a less formalized economics approach, one that's flexible, facts based and empirical. That which makes the patient better is what is used. Today we desperately need jobs. The private economy is still struggling and cannot profitably hire new employees fast enough. Tax cuts piled on top of tax cuts plus super low interest rates and dramatic Federal Bank intervention in markets have not turned the trick. The one tool we haven't used is the tool that guarantees jobs: Direct hiring to rebuild America's infrastructure.

WEC's Bi-Monthly Commentary on Energy Issues, 15 October 2008
As most of you know by now, WEC Secretary General Gerald Doucet passed away on 4 October in Toronto, Canada, after a short battle with cancer. His passing was a shock for his colleagues and friends both within and outside WEC. Gerald will be fondly remembered by us all as a true embodiment of the "WEC spirit", and it is with deep sadness that we acknowledge WEC's loss.
Gerald joined WEC as Secretary General in 1998. He was introduced at the Houston Congress, and from the very start of his tenure, he brought energy, commitment and enthusiasm to his role. His vision was to make WEC a "household name" in the global energy industry, and by all accounts, that vision became a reality under Gerald's strong and dedicated leadership, with WEC now regularly consulted on energy issues and having an acknowledged role as the voice of the energy industry. Gerald served with four WEC Chairmen - Jim Adam, Tony del Rosario, André Caillé and Pierre Gadonneix - and with their support, achieved the doubling in size of the WEC work programme; launched and expanded the WEC Patrons programme; enriched and developed WEC's regional programme; initiated, with global consulting firm McKinsey, a review of WEC's mission and goals; was instrumental in developing WEC's 3A Millennium Goals of energy accessibility, energy availability and energy acceptability; and oversaw the successful completion of numerous globally recognised studies, technical reports and projects, including, among others, Energy for Tomorrow's World - Acting Now!; Living in One World; Drivers of the Energy Scene; Energy and Climate Change; Energy Policy Scenarios to 2050; Grid Reliability; the Centres of Excellence for Sustainable Energy; the Grand Inga project and, for the 2008-2010 work cycle, Assessment of Energy Policy and Practices.
Gerald had a phenomenal memory for names and people, and he could "work a room" with the greatest skill and finesse. He thoroughly enjoyed meeting WEC members, and he had boundless energy and enthusiasm, a great love of adventure and a keen sense of humour and joie de vivre. He was a skilled diplomat who handled even the most sensitive situation with care, and he relished speaking at meetings and conferences to promote WEC to the global energy community. He was devoted to the "WEC family", and with his wife Nancy by his side, managed during his ten years as WEC Secretary General to visit the vast majority of WEC's 94 Member Committees.
Prior to joining WEC, Gerald was President and CEO of the Canadian Gas Association and a member of the Board of Gas Technology in Canada. Over the span of his career, he also served as President of the Canada-Europe Development Association in Paris; as Agent General for Ontario in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Benelux; and as Senior Vice President of the Retail Council of Canada. From 1967-1981, he held various senior positions in the Government of Canada.
Outside of WEC, Gerald loved music, writing, his friends and his family. He often wore a jaunty fedora hat, which became his "trademark" to his friends and colleagues. A Canadian by birth, Gerald was the father of five grown children. His wife Nancy was a familiar figure to WEC members, accompanying Gerald on many of his WEC-related travels and to all of the Executive Assemblies and Congresses during his tenure.
The WEC members, officers and staff have lost not only an inspirational and visionary leader but also a valued friend and colleague. Gerald will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
We will honour Gerald's memory with a suitable tribute at the Mexico City Executive Assembly, and we are very pleased that his wife, Nancy, has agreed to come to Mexico City to say goodbye and to accept our thanks and tribute.
In Mexico City, we will also place a "Book of Remembrance" in the WEC staff office so that any member wishing to share a special memory of Gerald or express their condolences may do so. The book will be presented to Gerald's wife after the Executive Assembly.
A Memorial Service for Gerald will be held at the American Cathedral in Paris (23 av. Georges V), at 16.00 hrs. on Thursday, January 8, 2009
Long-time WEC member Kieran O'Brien, who formerly served as Chair of the Programme Committee and is currently a WEC Honorary Officer and Chair of WEC's Irish Member Committee, has been appointed Acting Secretary General (part-time) by the Officers Council. Kieran will serve in this role, working with WEC on average 2-3 days a week, until the new Secretary General is in place. He will also be in Mexico City for the Executive Assembly. The officers are very grateful for Kieran's willingness to help WEC during this difficult period of transition and are confident that his knowledge and experience will provide stability and reassurance until we have a new Secretary General.
There will be no EnergyFax on 1 November due to preparations for the Executive Assembly meetings. The next issue of EnergyFax will be issued on 15 November and will report on the outcomes of the Mexico City meetings.

Earl Grey
Black Tea by Stash Tea Company
A Stash Tea best seller and long-time customer favorite! Earl Grey is black tea scented with bergamot, an oil extracted from a pear-shaped Mediterranean citrus about the size of an orange. Earl Grey brews up a beautiful amber cup with a distinctive flavor and lightly fragrant aroma.
Earl Grey is a versatile tea, at its best in the afternoon or after dinner. Delicious and flavorful plain, it may also be served with sugar and milk. Plus, it makes a wonderful, refreshing iced tea.
The tea leaves in Earl Grey are usually a blend of Chinese black or Indian Darjeeling teas. Stash uses superior grades of Ceylon black tea from Sri Lanka and black teas from China for our Earl Grey. We strive for a distinctive tea flavor that is not overwhelmed by the pungent citrus, and we use only 100% pure bergamot oil, not a mixture.
Story has it that in 1830 Englishman Charles Earl Grey (the second Earl Grey, 1764-1845) was on a diplomatic mission to China, when a mandarin presented him with the recipe for making this distinctive tea. Now it is the most famous scented tea in the Western world.

Hi folks! Many of you already know that I'm a teacher. Next week, my district returns to a new school year. I've been thinking about the year coming up, and I have a question for those of you who care deeply about the Civil War (I think that's pretty much everybody here!): What one thing (or more, if you're so inclined) would you like kids to know about the CW? I teach 8th and 9th grade students and also run the Civil War club (surprise, surprise!). I know you are mostly NOT teachers, but in a way, you know, we ALL are teachers because we love the subject, and will talk about it whenever and to whomever we can, and go out of our way to help those who have shown even a glimmer of interest. I have managed to work a lot of Civil War into my English curriculum, but I'd be interested in finding out your ideas--the "experts!" I'd appreciate hearing from any and all, especially those of you who are inclined to Southern perspectives (I'll admit, as a Northerner, I'm woefully inadequate in that, but willing to accept help!), and those of you who are still students. If you're like me, what I learned about the CW in school was pretty thin, and there are so many bigger issues kids can take away from the study of it. Thanks in advance! Pam |

I think Ed is right. Before starting an endeavor of such magnitude, I think it is important to teach that we can't place sins of today on historical figures. To learn about this subject correctly, it is important to see the whole picture with objectivity. |

Great question, Pam. I've always felt that we're all "students" when it comes to learning about the war, no matter our age or experience level. We go back and forth between being 'students' and being 'teachers,' as you suggest. Not sure your question is something I could answer with just one thing. I'd have to think about it some. I'm inclined to answer, that the war was caused by slavery, which I absolutely believe. But the subject of slavery, and the way it brought about the war, is so involved, that just saying "slavery did it" doesn't adequately explain things. You really need to delve into the details, and that's a twisty-turny maze if ever there was one. I guess that's not really a southern perspective though. But if I can think of an answer that I like better, I'll post it. Best of luck with your class. Perry |

Pam, I teach that slavery & union were equal parts of the of a braid of rope that had many strands. Just as a rope is weakened when one strand is removed, so is the argument over which is more important for fighting the war. You cannot argue one over the other without weakening the "rope" (or argument). As for the constitutionality of secession, we look at the Constitution (we've already studied it as a unit earlier in the school year) then, hold a debate. Sometimes it gets a little "squirrelly." After that, we concentrate on the famous persons, battles and the regiment(s) that recruited from our area. Much of what is done concerning battles is done via reports by the students. Some draw up battle maps on bed sheets so they can make a BIG map. Some sing battle songs. A few have come in to deliver soliliquoys(sp) by famous folks. One time a student dressed up as Jeff Davis and delivered a small part of his inaugural address. He did quite well! I always come in dressed, talk about the regular soldier, and shoot my .69 cal. outside for them every year. Sometimes I organize an encampment when I can get my hands on some extra $$$ for a few units and surgeons, zouaves, etc.. The idea is to do less talking (by the teacher) and more research and talking by the students. The war presented as a lecture is really dry and boring. Bringing in artifacts helps. Sometimes starting the whole unit off by doing something different and getting the kids out of their chairs is the best way of teaching. Find your passion in presenting and the students will follow you! And without knowing it, they will learn!!! Psst-just don't tell them that they're learning. :-) |

I would tell them that the ACW, like any period of history, isn't always what it appears to be at first glance. Much of it can't really be understood or appreciated until you are older. Much of it is shrouded in simplicity and romanticism. It is an extremely complex event of American History. If you want to get a true understanding of history you need to read multiple sources even if you don't agree with a particular thesis. Finally, teachers need to start adding flesh and bones to historical figures. For example, most people don't care about the campaigns of George Washington. To them these are just dry dates and facts. Teach them what kind of man he was. Tell them that he was a reserved man who possessed incredible bravery, loved to play cards, and could curse like a sailor if need be. This is why people love fictional characters from books and movies. They seem real and can identify with them. There's a reason why biographies are the most popular form of historical text.

I think it's important for them to learn that the idea of secession was not a new one. From the beginning, the states felt that each had a right to secede from the Union at any time they chose. Delaware was a hold out at the Constitutional Convention. South Carolina threatened it in Jackson's time and the issue was National Banks and not slavery. California considered becoming an independent Republic, and we all know, or should, the history of Texas. So many seem to point to the idea of the southern states choosing to leave the union as something unheard of at the time,when in actuality all of the above events took place before the Civil War. |

Interesting ideas from all. Pam since I have retired I work at a Civil War site as a docent one day a week. One of the things we do is go to one of the middle schools in the Los Angeles area where a history teacher has put together a Civil War day. He invites reenactors to come to the school for the day. Some times they are the Sons of Union Veterans, the Civilians from a local reenactment group, a doctor , a surgeon who sets up camp with all his tools, Sons of Confederate Vets, a member of the Cal 100 band who brings his instruments. We go as the Drum Barracks with displays of some of the thing we have in our museum that relate to things that happened first during the Civil War. The kids come out to visit us in classes with a questionaire. We all chat with them and explain what they are seeing . It is a very successful day. Maybe you can get some local reenactors to come to your school and put something like this together? I think what Bama said is true, The kids need to know that there are two sides and both were Americans that thought they were doing what for them was right. We can't judge them with 21st century values. Or as they are doing at some Visitors centers presenting the Civil War from four sides. North, South, Slave , and Civilian. Hope our suggestions help.

The finest compliment I have ever received, and I have now refceived three almost identical ones, came from a combat veteran. To paraphrase: Most of these presentations glorify war, it is ugly to those of us who have experianced it, you presented it as it was. I hate the "Rambo" mentality, I highlight just how ugly it really was. Let the students know about how the soldiers and civilians suffered. Explain the horror of the hospitals and the battlefield and then explain how those men kept going back in knowing full well the horror of it. THings haven't changed that much in the scheme of things when it comes to warfare. Understanding a little about what those men faced and soldiers have always faced can go a long way in planting an interest. And an interest in more than just the CW, but in human chrachter. |

Good post Johan but then you KNOW the common sodier well. You see things from his viewpoint . I think you post is a good one for us all to read and remember when we talk about the Civil War . It was not a picnic in the park. It was Hell. Thanks for spelling that out . Susan |

I can't really follow Johan's excellent reply, as I agree with it entirely. I like Crazy's description of the rope, and might steal it for my own purposes as it sums up how I think about the issue of slavery. In reply to Pam's question, I think one topic that needs to be discussed is why the Civil War matters to today's society. It's always useful to place events into context, otherwise one becomes merely a historical tourist. |

Thanks, everyone, for your ideas. Again, you've been a terrific help, especially since you gave me a lot of different angles to view this from--as always! I like the "rope" analogy a lot. I may have to "borrow" that one, Crazy. Susan, you are doing exactly what I'd like to be doing when I retire from teaching, so I'm jealous. But the idea of having local reenactors (military and civilian) come out to school, suggested by you and hinted at by others is one I've toyed with for years now--I'm just not sure where to start, or if my district would foot the bill. I guess it can't hurt to ask! But I too think that that chance to immerse the kids, even for a day, in soldier/civilian life would be priceless. I am a true believer in less talking by the teacher, more research and doing by the students, and have been for all my teaching life, so that was a suggestion that I actually do on an everyday basis. There's nothing like seeing the lightbulb come on for a student of mine when he/she has turned it on him/herself--way better than if I did it for them. To see that happen in relation to the CW would be the absolute best! Pam |

Pam the Civil War day we do at the middle school I would think is not too expensive. All of us that take part do it as volunteers . We are not paid. One of the teachers is a member of the Cal 100 so he gets others who reenact to join him. We come out from the Drum for free . The only cost that I know of to the school is they buy subway sandwiches for all of us at lunch time and provide cold drinks. I am sure there are some other expenses that I don't know about as I just show up in period clothing and help at the Drum booth explaining about things that happened first in the Civil War. Contact reenactment groups and Round Tables in your area and see what they have to offer . We adults all say we had such fun seeing the kids who are mostly first generation US citizens get excited about the things we show them. One year the Sons of Union Vets basically had the kids enlist !!!! They signed up . Good luck. Susan |

Strangley enoguh the place I go to school at I am supposedly the only current reenactor going there. I have offered so many times to do something for the civil war and I dont just go in there empty handed ethier I go whith a letter of recconmendation , etc. But every time they turn me down. if the wanna pay me fine buit if not I have no problem with that I evn said to one of the teachers. They said the no. I dont no why they wouldnt tell me. They had a medevile reenactor come in before that and they still wouldnt let, in the end one teacher wanted me to and they let me do for one period. I walked the halls in my Confederate Uniform while people thoguht I was stupid, only a handful of students knew what it was, to think maybe if I had been aloud to do it I could have tought them so they werent so ignorant about the subject. |

Prior to retiring as a State Trooper I did school programs (grade school) through our tropers organization. I did it on my own time as a volunter. It delt primarilly with traffic, bike, and home safety type training. I frequently did joint presentations with DARE. I was also invited back to do early Ohio history where my wife and I wore appropriate costume and explained the garments and tools (including weapons) and how early settlers lived in an understandable and hands on way. Most teachers and students enjoyed my employment presentation and then my hobby of studying history and re-enactment. However I was also questioned why I came to school with a weapon. I was there off duty as a representative of the Highway patrol and a weapon was part of my uniform. When I traveled to and from the school I was in uniform and would have responded to any emergency as if on duty. I also eventully was not allowed to bring weapons (flintlock rifle, knife, tomahawk) to show how tools were used. I also brought draw knifes, froes, mallets, and other hand tools. All that could be used as a weapon. So I eventually just stopped doing the living history in schools. Shotgun has a good example of the causes of the ACW compared to a wagon wheel. The spookes are the many regional differences ( tarriffs, urban vs. rural, industrial vs. agricultural,states rights vs. central government) held togeather by a wheel rim of slavery. |

Hi there,
Just wanted to say hi and before I give you my sob story, I think I'll read around this Forum to see which threads I can definitely relate to.
I know I'm not alone and I want to thank all of you for being accessible and here for support. Unfortunately for some of us, talking about panic/anxiety can on occasion actually trigger the disorder so I'm going to take it slow.

The Met-turned-Pirates prospect smacked a pair of two-run homers in consecutive at-bats to highlight his four-hit, four-RBI day in the Double-A Altoona Curve's 7-4 win Sunday afternoon over the Binghamton Mets.
"It's nice, but I have nothing bad to say about the Mets. It is different playing against them," said Welch, who added he is on friendly terms with two or three of his former fellow farmhands. "It's nice to be doing well."
Batting sixth and playing the hot corner, the left-handed hitter pulled a 3-2 pitch off Mets starter Cory Mazzoni over the right-field fence in the second inning (on a fastball) and the fourth inning (slider).
"The wind was blowing out pretty hard," the native of Adelaide, Australia said modestly after his second multi-homer game of the season. "I just hit it and ran, but I think they both [landed] in the same area."
Despite being Mazzoni's teammate at Class A Advanced St. Lucie last season, Welch said he relied more on the scouting report of his batting coach. After Mazzoni's exit, Welch singled in the fifth and seventh frames before striking out in the ninth. Over his five plate appearances, he saw 29 pitches, or almost six per.
"I didn't think it was that many," he said. "[My approach] changes every game."
Now 23, Welch signed with New York as a non-drafted free agent in January 2005 and, after five Minor League seasons in which he wasn't promoted beyond the Florida State League, left as a free agent. Why sign with Pittsbugh this past offseason? He knew some ballplayers who had and were happy.
Starting out with Class A Advanced Bradenton, Welch posted .265/.320/.429 marks in 65 games before finally reaching Double-A on June 14. He has looked like he belonged all along, batting .431 with four longballs -- three against Binghamton -- and 14 RBIs in 15 games.
Mazzoni (1-2) was charged with six runs on nine hits and didn't come out for the fifth inning.
Curve spot starter Matt McSwain (3-2) gave up three runs on seven hits over five frames.

A great combination of kale, garlic and lemon! A light meal that will fill you up.
- 2 bunches fresh kale trimmed and chopped
- 1 large garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons walnuts, lightly toasted
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Steam the kale (do not boil) in a large pot until tender (about 10 minutes); drain well.
- Coat a large skillet with oil.
- Sauté garlic over medium heat until just golden, about three minutes.
- Add kale to skillet.
- Stir in the olive oil, sauté until heated through (about five minutes).
- Stir in walnuts, remove skillet from heat.
- Sprinkle kale mixture with lemon juice.
- Transfer to a shallow serving dish and serve immediately.

Just a minor detail. The ingredients list walnuts, but then the instructions have you add pine nuts.
I just made this the other night, and I'm pleased to report that this isn't half bad! Also keep in mind that I ate it cold, so I'd have to guess that if you plated and ate it immediately (as the instructions suggest!) it would be close to excellent.
Kale is called kale in Australia, all the hippies eat it so most organic veggie shops will have it. It's peak season is autumn so it pretty much in all the veggie shops now. I get mine from the radical food store in brunswick, Melbourne.
I made this dish with a twist. Instead of walnuts and lemon juice, I added a tablespoon of curry powder along with some sauteed chicken and two teaspoons of almond butter. Came out awesome.

My name has been on the DNC list since its inception. Since then, my family and I have enjoyed our dinners together without the agonizing interruption of telemarketers trying to sell me something I do not want. Before, we could not watch one movie together without the phone ringing at least three times. Now, we sit and watch in peace and quiet. The DNC has made me, my family, and countless others very happy. Do not throw it away by allowing some calls through - even calls from companies with whom I already do business. Therefore, I do not believe there should be any change to the Do Not Call List, unless it is to make it where no one or company can call you, unless you specifically request them to call. This includes anyone that you do business with. I pay for the convenience of having a telephone, for my needs, not to be disturbed by a calling center, who calls when they desire. If I choose to do business with a company, I will call them; this includes those I have done business with previously. In other words, I do not want anyone calling me, unless I give express consent, not implied.

Palin: 'Conservatives Must Stay Engaged'
Posted on | January 1, 2013 | 27 Comments
by Smitty
Best wishes to everyone for a happy New Year! In the coming days there will be a great deal of debate about the goings-on in the political arena and the shenanigans in Washington. Constitutional commonsense conservatives must stay engaged and hold our "leaders" accountable to the voice of average everyday hard working Americans or we will very soon become an enslaved, bankrupt former nation of greatness. So, please keep the faith heading into this new year. And for now, remember to be grateful for the blessings and opportunities God has given us as independent individuals, as caring members of families, as honorable businesses and communities, and as countrymen who understand this most exceptional nation's foundations of strength. We've been given all this for yet another year; let's not take it for granted. In this new year, as jobs change with doors closing and opening, kids growing, relationships evolving, and life throwing curveballs, may you resolve to stay engaged and optimistic. May you pick your battles wisely. And may you live life vibrantly! God bless you all and God bless our great country as we promise to live out 2 Chronicles 7:14. Here's to liberty!
- Sarah Palin
It's easy to succumb to despair and anger, get emotional, throw a fit. Fine get it out. Call them all everything under the sun. Block out a "pouty day".
Then, if all of your efforts thus far meant anything, get up and get back in the fray. A huge chunk of the battle was showing up. Another chunk is having the stamina to outlast the Godless Commie enemies of liberty. I'm not saying be detached and high minded. You're not Mitt Romney or George W. Bush, sufficiently insulated from all this that you can buy privacy and gaff off the moocher hordes that rejected limited government.
The bad guys want you to give up. Deny them joy.

(NY Daily News) Shena Hardin, 32, pulled the off-road move twice to avoid stopping for the students, local WEWS-TV reported.
The bus driver, Uriah Herron, shot video of Hardin pulling the maneuver in her silver Jeep in east Cleveland on the first day of school in September.
He tipped off police, and Hardin was busted a few days later after doing it again.
She appeared in court on Monday and was cited for not stopping for a school bus.
Along with paying a $250 fine, Hardin must stand at the intersection where she was caught next Tuesday and Wednesday wearing a sign that says: "Only an idiot drives on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus."
She will also lose her license for 30 days.

health and wellness programs that work
Jacksonville 4/24/2012 06:41 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)
Florida Homeowners Insurance Carrier Citizens
Home Insurance Sales Increase
Term life insurance quotes are all about years
Wellness programs are a second-hand response to an evident need for people to take better care of themselves. The programs often are sponsored by employers as a means of making their workforce more stable and healthy. For a FREE wellness program consultation, please call 1-888-324-6178 today.
The programs are work-centered because it is in a company's best interests to encourage employees to become more health. Sometimes the programs are initiated by a workplace insurance company for the same reason: to improve the physical conditioning and stamina of employees. But the insurance company's interest is in reducing medical claims on policies.
The Wellness Councils of America have estimated that eight in 10 health insurance claims are a consequence of people being in chronically health because they do not practice good wellness habits. In other words, the sick employees are tobacco users, eat poorly or immoderately, fail to exercise with any regularity, and generally are hurting themselves and denying their employers full productive capacity.
Businesses that are not large enough to run their own preventive / wellness programs for employees sometimes let insurers do so. The outside providers health and wellness programs, provide a nurse or exercise specialist to work with employees, and produce health assessments by which employers can monitor their progress and partner with their doctors along the way.
Programs offered by insurers include nutrition classes, where food values and consumption habits are taught. These can help obese employees as well as workers who simply are not eating the foods necessary to produce needed energy and mental acuity. Some programs will offer extended weight loss activities, playing on the group dynamic to encourage individual effort.
Probably the most popular wellness programs are exercise events. These can range from on-campus or after-work aerobic classes to strength-building and flexibility activities. The key to success of such programs is long-term commitment. In recent decades, smoke cessation programs have become popular as cigarette smoking continues to lose its cachet.
Besides the health benefits that accrue to participants in wellness programs, other rewards sometimes are given by companies. Prizes of one kind or another are offered to those who endure in their exercise, smoke cessation, or weight loss programs. And health insurance companies sometimes offer discounts to participants whose health has measurably improved.

NURSE Corps gives nurses nationwide the opportunity to turn their passion for service into a lifelong career through the NURSE Corps Scholarship Program and the NURSE Corps Loan Repayment Program,
NURSE Corps helps to build healthier communities in urban, rural and frontier areas by supporting nurses and nursing students committed to working in communities with inadequate access to care.
Although the NURSE Corps name is new, it comprises the Nursing Education Loan Repayment and Nursing Scholarship programs that have helped critical shortage facilities meet their urgent need for nurses since 2002.
NURSE Corps members fulfilling their service obligation enjoy the competitive pay and benefits negotiated with their employer, which could be any one of thousands of nonprofit hospitals, clinics and other facilities located in designated primary medical care or mental health Health Professional Shortage Areas across the U.S.
Join 2,983 dedicated nurses (plus 921 in school or pending placement) providing high quality care where they are needed most. Join NURSE Corps.
Read the most recent NURSE Corps Nurse Notes newsletter and visit NURSE Corps on Facebook.
NURSE Corps Loan Repayment Program, formerly the Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program, helps alleviate the shortage of nurses across the country by offering loan repayment assistance to registered nurses and advance practice nurses, such as nurse practitioners, working at Critical Shortage facilities and nurse faculty employed at accredited schools of nursing. Program participants receive up to 60 percent of their qualifying student loans in exchange for a 2-year service commitment – and an additional 25 percent of their original loan balance for an optional third year.
NURSE Corps Scholarship Program, formerly the Nursing Scholarship Program, helps students complete their nursing education by paying tuition, fees, other education costs, while providing a monthly living stipend. The program is open to full-time nursing students accepted or enrolled in diploma, associate, baccalaureate or graduate nursing programs at accredited schools located in the U.S. Upon graduation, scholarship program members fulfill a service commitment at a Critical Shortage Facility.

Few scholars have left more of a mark on the field of development economics than Amartya Sen.
The winner of the 1998 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science, Mr. Sen has changed the way economists think about such issues as collective decision-making, welfare economics and measuring poverty. He has pioneered the use of economic tools to highlight gender inequality, and he helped the United Nations devise its Human Development Index -- today the most widely used measure of how well nations meet basic social needs.
More than anything, though, Mr. Sen is known for his work on famine. Just as Adam Smith is associated with the phrase ''invisible hand'' and Joseph Schumpeter with ''creative destruction,'' Mr. Sen is famous for his assertion that famines do not occur in democracies. ''No famine has ever taken place in the history of the world in a functioning democracy,'' he wrote in ''Democracy as Freedom'' (Anchor, 1999). This, he explained, is because democratic governments ''have to win elections and face public criticism, and have strong incentive to undertake measures to avert famines and other catastrophes.'' This proposition, advanced in a host of books and articles, has shaped the thinking of a generation of policy makers, scholars and relief workers who deal with famine.

Campouts, sleepovers, the kinds of things kids do on summer vacation, can be a drag for someone with diabetes.
Lisa Hedrick's son constantly has to figure the carbs he's about to eat then make sure that's balanced with the right amount of insulin. It makes it difficult for her son to do something as simple as sleepover at a friend's house.
"At first we were really hesitant and even the parents of his friends were hesitant because they weren't sure what to do, so they would call or text us quite often," says Hedrick.
Fortunately, a doctor at Nationwide Children's Hospital has helped to make things a lot easier for kids, and adults, with diabetes.
Dr. David Repask has invented a new online calculator app that calculates how much insulin and carbs a diabetic needs. After plugging in a few numbers, the app creates a printable, portable chart.
"Having something printed out that is not just for one time but is useful for a month or six month, or even a year no matter what the conditions are," says Repask.

attendant was courteous and quick.
all worked out great thanks...
The attendant on duty was polite and helpful
This was a great experience. At first I was concerned because my ticket said I was parking from 7:30 PM until 11:30 PM, but I had planned on getting there earlier. I called the number on the ticket and the man who answered told me that I paid for 12 hours and that I could come early. When I got there the attendant (who was super nice) asked me if I was the one who called. What a nice departure from the anonymous treatment I usually get. I will use them again and highly recommend. Safe little garage tucked away on the side street - very satisfied - especially for the price!!!
The website says entrance on West End Ave, but entrance is on 63 St. Very easy and a quick walk to Lincoln Center. Great price for garage parking!! Would use again.
Prompt service, easy in and easy out!
This garage is part of the West End Ave apartment building complex. The garage is a down ramp at the intersection of West End Ave and 63rd St.

By Howie Rumberg The Associated Press
NEW YORK - With midnight approaching, the Baltimore Orioles' bats awoke for one more improbable rally.
Now they have a last shot to finally overtake the New York Yankees.
J.J. Hardy hit an RBI double in the 13th inning and Baltimore bounced back from a demoralizing loss to outlast the Yankees 2-1 Thursday night, forcing a deciding Game 5 in the AL division series.
After splitting 22 games this year, it all comes down this: a winner-take-all game for a spot in the AL championship series.
Game 1 winner CC Sabathia was set to pitch the deciding game for the Yankees. Orioles manager Buck Showalter had not announced his starter.
The Orioles were 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position until Hardy doubled off David Phelps with one out to score Manny Machado. Phelps had relieved in the 12th after Joba Chamberlain was hit by a flying broken bat, forcing him to leave with a bruised right elbow.
Jim Johnson bounced back from allowing Raul Ibanez's pinch-hit homer in the ninth inning Wednesday to earn his second save in the series with a perfect 13th.
Hours after learning Joe Girardi had kept quiet that his father died last Saturday, the Yankees couldn't rally late. This time, Girardi called upon Eric Chavez to pinch hit for slumping Alex Rodriguez. He lined out to third base to end it.
Baltimore's win pushed all four division series to five games for the first time since the round began in 1995.
The Orioles have been pursuing the Yankees all season, cutting a 10-game deficit in July to zero in early September. Baltimore and New York were tied 10 times atop the East in the final month but the Yankees wrapped up the division on the final night of the regular season.
After dropping Game 1 , the Orioles rebounded with another one-run win in a season in which they had the best record in the majors in such games at 29-9. But they lost in stunning fashion in 12 innings Wednesday night, when Ibanez homered twice in his two at-bats after pinch-hitting for Rodriguez.
The team that caught the Yankees in September didn't rattle, though.
They came right back Thursday for their first win in extras against the Yankees this year. They also lost twice to New York in extra innings before going on a run of 16 straight wins after the ninth inning.
It wasn't easy, though. Nate McLouth homered off Phil Hughes to start the fifth, but Baltimore wasted three shots with a runner on third base in the first four innings. They struggled against New York's bullpen.

Cost vs. Location Considerations: A Look at London Hedge Fund Real Estate
Last week, we took a closer look at the current state of the New York City hedge fund real estate market. Today, we're crossing the pond to provide some updates on new developments in the UK real estate arena.
London remains Europe's number one destination for hedge funds and private equity managers, with Mayfair and St. James's being the most-preferred neighbourhoods. But have mounting economic pressures and increased interest from overseas for property pushed funds away from these areas? How are these factors affecting the popular "hedge fund alley" section of Curzon Street and Berkeley Square in Mayfair?
As of the last quarter of 2011, 51% of hedge funds and investment management firms based in London's West End area were operating in office space in Mayfair and St. James's. This figure is down significantly from five years ago, when 69% of those shops were located in those same areas, according to property consulting firm Cushman & Wakefield. This shows that London-based hedge funds are increasingly moving away from the traditional core areas, as they have quickly become the city's most expensive office neighbourhoods. In fact, after Hong Kong, rental prices in London's Mayfair and St James's districts south of Oxford Street and West of Regent Street are now the second highest in the world.
So, where are all the funds moving to?
To avoid paying exorbitant leases, many investment firms are seeking out the more manageable rental figures per square foot on and around Oxford Street. Additionally, there are a growing number of hedge funds setting up shop in areas such as Victoria and the district immediately north of Oxford Street. Rents for premier properties in these neighbourhoods are currently averaging around £65 per square foot, a stark contrast to the £100+ rates we're seeing in Mayfair and St. James's right now. Iconic buildings such as the Shard at London Bridge or the Heron Tower in the City are also becoming more and more attractive to hedge fund managers. Office space in the Shard is about 30% cheaper than comparable buildings in Mayfair.
Well-established investment firms are in a better position to move away from Mayfair right now, since they have an existing base of investors and other stakeholders that are familiar with them and willing to venture outside of this core real estate area in order to meet with them. That said, there are still many firms who are willing to pay top dollar for this premier location in the heart of London's most sought after area for the hedge fund industry. Despite these costs, most start-up funds also prefer to be located in or near Mayfair to give them a better opportunity to create awareness amongst time-pressed investors who are unlikely to travel far between meetings, especially for firms with whom they are not yet very familiar.
