Review "They're Bankrupting Us!": And 20 Other Myths about Unions Beacon Press: 2012 Tearing Apart the Big Lies about 'Big Labor' By Michelle Crentsil Labor Notes August 29 2012 http://labornotes.org/blogs/2012/08/review-tearing-apart-big-lies-about-big-labor?utm I started reading Bill Fletcher's "They're Bankrupting Us!" and 20 Other Myths about Unions on my way to Miami to sign up new members for the union. Florida is a right-to-work state and I was looking to recruit members in a largely conservative workforce in a big public hospital. I was inclined to believe I was in a scorched-earth situation. As a union organizer, I'd heard these myths before. I had traumatic flashbacks with practically every page, and I started guessing which myths I'd hear from the workers first. "Unions are corrupt and mobbed up"? "Unions were started by communists and other troublemakers"? Or the title myth: "They're bankrupting us and destroying the economy." These myths aren't heard just by those of us knocking on doors for a union. They permeate popular culture. I told a friend I was a union organizer once and he asked me if I was out breaking people's legs. He was joking, but he got the idea from somewhere. And he certainly wasn't able to tell me what I actually do. As organizers, we're equipped to have one-on-one conversations where we educate others on what a union actually is and the power solidarity can bring to a workplace. But this book is a great reminder of the sheer magnitude of what we're up against. It isn't a few people with some misinformation. It's a complete rewriting of history based on an opposing interest. The loudest narrative about organized labor comes from the other side. Fletcher critiques the mainstream media, using mogul Rupert Murdoch as just one example to show how business interests dominate the news and create hostility toward unions. Fletcher's book is an accessible and entertaining read that clearly outlines why unions are (still) relevant and, in fact, critical to movements for social justice, by dispelling the myths with compelling arguments rooted in history and personal experience. His use of history goes beyond answering tough questions or dispelling myths in a tit-for-tat manner. Rather he takes the time to educate the reader on the impact that workers have had throughout our history and today in the fight against power imbalance and injustice. Myth-Busting For each myth, Fletcher starts with history and context first, giving background for what the myth is referring to and where it likely comes from. Take the "Unions are mobbed up" claim. Fletcher uses the myth-busting opportunity to talk about where corruption stems from in any institution and how to fight it specifically in unions. Rather than denying the history of organized crime in labor and instances of corruption, Fletcher acknowledges it and reminds us that most unions don't fall prey to it. Then he stakes out worker strategies to fight it. In good organizing, an organizer will validate a person before kindly letting that person know the facts. Though most of these myths stem from right- wing, pro-business nonsense, some have the blush of reality to them. Denying these realities, in my experience, does more harm than good. No one likes to feel lied to. Fletcher understands this, and strikes a tough balance in defending unions while also offering a critique, shedding light on major contributions while also exposing missteps. Organized labor is responsible for the 40-hour work week, weekends, hiring equity in discriminatory industries like the docks, multiracial organizing (a major priority of the IWW in its prime), and community unionism that saw labor and local organizations working together to promote justice. But major missteps include servicing-oriented business unionism, an almost institutional link to the Democratic Party, and a departure from being a "cause" and a movement. The systematic erosion of organized labor's power by neoliberal policies, legislation, and attitudes is at the root of much of Fletcher's myth-busting. But labor's own response to these major ideological shifts in mainstream culture and politics was problematic. Fletcher says union leaders deliberately departed from the "social vision that had accompanied the rise of labor unions." Fletcher traces this shift back to Samuel Gompers, founder of the AFL, who called his rebranding "bread-and-butter" unionism, which would evolve into business unionism. The scope of unions narrowed to a particular set of needs for members (not workers in general) within a specific company or sometimes industry, but with no real connection to a larger movement, and not at odds with the capitalist system. In the section that addresses the "Unions have a checkered history and were started by communists and other troublemakers" myth, Fletcher reflects on the positive influence radicals and leftists had on the labor movement and their subsequent persecution because of anti-communism. But the history is a distraction that misleads by promoting fear and panic, he argues, used to squash all organizing efforts that might shift the balance of power in favor of workers. Move Past the Myths How should we move forward, considering the difficult terrain? Fletcher offers specific strategies to return to a culture of solidarity among working people and their communities and restore the link between the labor movement and the fight against injustice. We should build associate membership categories in unions so non-union workers can join without having collective bargaining. We should organize outside the extremely limited Labor Board rules by joining with worker centers and becoming involved in community-based projects where organizations are organizing entire cities. The key is moving past the narrow framework of just one's own union or workplace. They're Bankrupting Us! is a title that should be much appreciated by organizers and labor activists. New unionists should know where these myths come from, and seasoned ones can use the book's renewed hope and sense of strategy to make those organizing conversations easier. Fletcher reminds us how important it is both to educate others on labor's history and to acknowledge our own shortcomings in order to grow this movement. He explores where we have to go and how to get there succinctly and superbly. ______________ Michelle Crentsil is an organizer for the Committee of Interns and Residents, SEIU. ___________________________________________ Portside aims to provide material of interest to people on the left that will help them to interpret the world and to change it.

Autumn is on the horizon, the perfect time to indulge in a good read with a touch of the supernatural. Ghost stories help celebrate the season, but those with an element of mystery and/or romance are especially seductive. Similar to a paranormal romance (think vampires and werewolves) these titles are wrapped up with an "otherworldly" undercurrent.
Because they don't fall as a whole into one distinct category (there's an overlapping of genres going on here) they appeal to lots of different readers. Why do people love them? They're passionate, arcane, and just plain fun!
A few titles from our collection to get you started:
The Girl on Legare Street by Karen White
The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende
The Uninvited Guests by Sadie Jones
The Red Garden by Alice Hoffman
The Famous Flower of Serving Men by Deborah Grabien
Shadow Theatre by Fiona Cheong
After Glow by Jayne Castle
In the Country of the Young by Lisa Carey

What are symptoms and signs of a Naegleria fowleri infection?
Comment on this
After entering the nose, the amoeba travels into the brain along the olfactory nerve and through membranes to enter the brain. Once there, it causes primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (meaning inflammation of the brain and the lining around the brain). In the popular press, Naegleria fowleri is sometimes called the brain-eating amoeba, and meningoencephalitis is sometimes referred to as Naegleriasis. Symptoms usually appear within five days after exposure but can be delayed up to two weeks. Patients may initially notice changes in smell or taste. Fever, headache, loss of appetite, and nausea follow quickly. The patient becomes confused or semiconscious and finally comatose. Physical examination shows fever and a stiff neck (meningismus). How is a Naegleria fowleri infection diagnosed?A spinal tap will be done to examine the spinal fluid. Infection is diagnosed by seeing the amoeba under the microscope. Traditional Gram staining is not used to detect Naegleria because the heat used in the fixation process destroys the organism. Although not specific to Naegleria, the spinal fluid often has a mild elevation in the levels of proteins and a mild decrease in glucose, along with a high white cell count, and is often bloody in the later stages of disease. Because rapid diagnosis is critical, examination of the spinal fluid is imperative. The organism can also be cultured in the laboratory using on a plate that is coated with bacteria for the amoeba to eat. The culture takes a few days. Newer tests are becoming available that use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to detect amoebic DNA in spinal fluid. Patient CommentsViewers share their comments

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Hey there! My name is Nick and I'm a student at UC-Berkeley, otherwise known as Cal. I graduated high school last year with a weighted GPA of 4.51 and an unweighted GPA of 3.91. I excel in all sorts of subjects, especially mathematics, English, and American history. I'm also a highly qualified SAT tutor. I'm very up-to-date with the test, as I only took it two years ago. My score breakdown is as follows: 790 in Critical Reading, 780 in Math, 710 in Writing, 2280 Composite. I've been tutoring elementary, junior high, and high school kids for three years now. In my short history, I've had 9 clients, all of whom saw an improvement of at least one letter grade in the class for which they received tutoring. But aside from the stats and credentials, I love teaching. Nothing can quite quantify the feeling of satisfaction I get when a student has an "aHA!" moment. When they finally grasp the concept that's given them so much trouble, I know I've done my job. And furthermore, it's fun for me! Three years into this, I am hard-pressed to call tutoring a job. Being a college student myself, I know what makes kids tick. Whether it's through humor, sports, or what have you, I can find ways to connect to kids. And once I earn their trust, getting them interested in learning is nothing more than a cakewalk. If you're interested, I am too. Contact me!
Last summer I helped my calculus teacher's son with his summer reading, and it was a fantastically rewarding experience. Up to that point, her son had absolutely dreaded everything about books. He especially despised the book he had to read because it didn't involve Transformers (perhaps the most glaring fault of the Judy Blume series). As I began to help him see things like conflict and motivation and character development in the book - though not in so many words - he began to tolerate and eventually... Read More
I played football at the Pop Warner level from 3rd through 8th grade. I did not continue in high school because I chose to focus on other sports, but I am still very knowledgeable in terms of techniques, rules, and everything in between. I can teach young kids the basics of the sport and show them how fun it can be.
I played basketball in recreational leagues throughout high school and continue to play at the club level in college. As a kid, I played center, but as everyone around me skyrocketed in height (so goes the plight of kids who love basketball), I reverted to the role of combo shooting guard/small forward. I excel behind the threepoint line and shoot above 85% from the foul line for my career. I can teach basic skills to young kids, and I can also teach advanced skills to those who are looking to...

I played varsity baseball in all four years of high school and continue to play at the club level in college. I have been the ace starter on every team I've been on in the last six or so years. With this experience, I can teach the basics of baseball, as well as advanced techniques in hitting, pitching, fielding, and baserunning. I'm also an avid participant in fantasy leagues, and can rattle off stats and rules of which few others are aware. Baseball is my favorite sport, and I guarantee that... Read More

C A+F Facilities: Libary is good that is about it. Arc is poopy and gross.
D A+F Facilities: The ARC offers great facilities if we were living in the 1970s. A couple of gyms and a small fitness center.
B A+F Facilities: It's what you make of it. Some people may rant about how there's nothing to do, but if you go to what's offered you will love it. The library is a little to small for our growing campus, but on weeks when everyone doesn't have exams it's a great place to be. All of the student centers are free like IT support, the writing center, and tutoring.
B A+F Facilities: Greek life is a great thing to get involved with, it has completely changed my life.
B A+F Facilities: I think that Valparaiso has a beautiful campus. One attraction being the Chapel. Not many universities have or even offer daily worship.

Written by Amber Will
Valpo has been updating the campus over the last few years with some really nice renovations and new facilities, including the library, Union, and fitness center. The library is a great addition to campus. It brings a state-of-the-art facility to a campus that is trying to move forward and expand. The spacious atmosphere and floor-to-ceiling windows promotes a relaxed setting to study in. The Harre Union opened in January of 2009 and has a games and recreation center, meeting rooms, lounges, a 24-hour computer lab, and a ballroom that hosts numerous events. It has two different eating places: one that is available at meal times and another open later into the night. The facility has become a center for student life since many activities are held there on a weekly basis.
The ARC, while nice in size, is usually overrun with athletic teams and their practices. However, the recent addition of the fitness center offers a wide range of options for non-varsity athletes. It is state-of-the-art with a cardio area that has 25 machines, a weight training area, and an aerobics area. There are also fitness classes available. The facility is free for students and is open much longer than the old gym was. It makes exercising accessible for students so they can fight off the freshman fifteen with ease.
The VUCA (Center for the Arts) and Kallay-Christopher are also newer buildings serving academic purposes. Both are equipped with up-to-date classrooms and equipment. The VUCA also has a museum, theater, and recital hall that hosts many events and performances throughout the year.

More press on the Serena Mashup Exchange
by naisan on May.29, 2008, under Mashup, Mashup Exchange, MashupExchange
Came across an interesting article from Paul Gillin, who does a great job of explaining a very powerful platform – the Serena Mashup Exchange – in a few simple words.
As I look at the amount of automation we have in place around the Mashup Exchange, the systems powering it, and how we've been able to "glue" these systems together for real business value and results, technological progress becomes apparent. SaaS is real, and has real benefits, and the move to SaaS represents another evolutionary step in enbracing the power of the web.
I'm currently attending the Metamorphosis 8.0 show in San Jose today, where we're hearing about Integration generally. This is another crucial ingredient in the evolution of SaaS – and Pervasive seems to have a great story – 150 integration adapters that can connect to a SaaS system. More on that later.

More reviews by stuffaboutbeauty
I love this product, before it I tried other correctors to help hide my dark under eye circles but all of them were complete crap and when I found this stuff I tried it with the CoverGirl simply ageless concealer and the two of them are miracle workers together. Get these two together and see what a difference it has compared to other correctors and concealers because I have never had anything cover my dark circles completely before this stuff hit the market.
I don't know where to start because I'm obsessed with this product that much. It's like a dream in a little pot. It is seriously probably the best concealer/corrector for under eyes that I've ever tried. WAAAAAAAAY better than the Bobbi Brown one for sure. It brightens and conceals circles under the eyes perfectly. Blends perfectly and lasts all day (with some powder of course) It's silky so when you put it on, it feels really nice on the skin and not heavy or cake-y at all. I use this for my makeup on a daily basis. It makes my skin look flawless and my makeup comes out looking awesome each time. I can't believe I'm writing an essay about a concealer but I honestly can't stop saying good things about it, it's just that good. I even got this half off at my local CVS, so that's another plus. This was my first ever purchase by CG, so because of this I went and got their Clean Whipped Cream Foundation, and I ended up loving that as well. Well done Covergirl, well done!

This review is for the concealer pot in light, not the yellow tinted corrector.
I adore this concealer! It is creamy and highly pigmented, and blends really well. It is very lightweight, not at all heavy, and doesn't crease under my eyes when blended and set with powder. Sadly, I suspect that CG may be discontinuing this product as it has been 50% off at CVS for a few weeks. I scooped up 2 pots which should last me a year or more. This has replaced my Benefit Bo-ing! I have heavy dark circles and this works very well to mask them when coupled with the cover girl yellow corrector stick concealer.

UPDATE: I still don't think this product amazing but I have noticed that it doesn't crease and the product in the pan lasts along time. I use everyday and barely made a dent.
I bought this on sale at shoppers drugmart for $8 usually it's about $16 I believe. I picked up two cause of the cheap sale price! Over all this product is ok though not my HG. I like the packaging unlike other people do. I think it's super cute and perfect for storing. Colour is a tad to dark for my skin, I'm about a nw15 so I put this on first then foundation then my regular concelor. I put no to repurchasing because I don't feel that it's that amazing for the regular price. So yes I think it's an ok product it's just not for me. Plus I really don't suffer from bags under my eyes anyway.

I def think for drug store and for Cover Girl this is way too expensive but you do get a lot of product and yes, it does have Olay in it. Whats up with all the drug store stuff getting so $$$ (ahem physicians formula). Anyhow points off for that. The product itself is great. I DID get it by mistake as a concealer and in retrospect should have bought the same bottled product but in "light" or "medium" if thats what i wanted. Per other reviews, its not actually a concealer, its very yellow toned corrector, but for me, does a good job at concealing/evening out and brightening under-eye. I do not have very dark under eye circles, but find a little under eye product like this can really wake up your face. It applies smoothly and like i said there is a ton of product. I do not mind the twist top. This doesn't work so much for covering pimples and can slip off the rest of the face but for eyes its great because its smooth and can be patted in nicely without feeling like your tugging at the delicate eye-skin.
I've suffered from dark undereye circles since childhood (damn genetics) and have had no luck (so far) in getting rid of, or at least, reducing the appearance of them.
From past experience, I'm not a big fan of concealers - throughout the years, I've tried different drugstore concealers and if it wasn't buying the wrong colour 90% of the time that would put me off from using them, it was the fact that they would melt off my face, settle into lines (making it look like I had wrinkles), and/or my eyeliner would run down and "stick" to the concealer, making my dark circles look worse. I decided to try this product because I've once again become self-conscious of my dark circles - even with a decent creme foundation, they are still quite visible and probably more so when in natural sunlight.
I saw this product on the CoverGirl website and researched it further on here and decided to give it a shot. I bought this corrector at Shoppers Drug Mart for CDN $11.99 but didn't buy a concealer to put over it because I thought I should try this out first, see how I like it. And the verdict is: LIKE IT! This product acts as an amazing base and I agree with other reviewers that's it's a good highlighter... it goes on SO smooth and a little goes a long way, the price isn't so bad once you take that into account. I put this on after my face primer has dried up a bit and then put on my foundation a few minutes later, waiting for it to "settle". The colour is universal, I suppose... it's WAY lighter than my skin tone but it is meant to be worn UNDER concealer/foundation and the foundation I use (Revlon New Complexion One-Step Compact Makeup in Medium Beige) does a great job of blending this
the corrector doesn't even "wipe off" too much when you're blending it and putting powder over it (which is a big problem for me). Aside from my dark circles, I also dab this onto spider veins and red spots on my face so that my problems areas are less visible - not 100% concealed but a noticeable difference for me compared to not using this. I can't wait to find a decent concealer to try with this. The only complaint I have with this is packaging - I would prefer a "flip" top instead of a screw on top. People interested in this might also want to buy a concealer brush or something so you're not constantly putting your fingers into the container. Keep it as bacteria-free as possible!

All I have to say is-- OH MY GOD! This is a miracle product. I use primer on my face then apply this concealer on all my red marks. I know this is mainly for under eye area, but I use it all over. does a GEAT job at covering all my acne scars and brown spots and I use a foundation over it and my skin looks so much better. I have been getting everyone hooked on this stuff. if you have a lot of dark spots- this stuff should be your best friend.

I truly love this product! I've never been a drugstore makeup girl but after trying almost every concealer/corrector on the market I decided to try something different; hello drugstore makeup! This stuff covers up anything! It's not thick and sticky like a lot of other products and you can control how much you apply because its so smooth. I will use this product from now on.
Before finding this corrector, I was almost at my wit's end trying to find a way to hide or treat my purple-ish under-eye circles. I did a Google search for the best drugstore under-eye concealers, found this, and I have now been using it for about two weeks. When used on top of my cream eye moisturizer, I can apply it without it caking up on my dry, crepey skin, and it does not settle into fine lines. A little bit goes a long way! I then follow up with a tiny bit of Neutrogena's 3-in-1 under eye concealer. However, I have noticed that it does not stay on smooth for as long as I'd like, and it needs touching up after more than 5-6 hours, but that might be partly due to my dry, slightly bumpy skin under my eyes. But overall, this is the best product I have used to help with my under-eye circles. I highly recommend it.

So originally I was going to give this a bad review as well. Ive been looking for a good concealer that acts more of a highlighter than a concealer but havent been able to find anything that doesnt accentuate my dry spots around my cheek area. So far, everything has pretty much failed for winter. When I picked this up I was really disappointed, I kept trying to apply it with my Real Techniques buffing brush and it would just look worse. I then tried dabbing and rubbing it on with my fingers and it still failed. I tried a different primer and again, didnt make it look any better.
I then saw a YouTube tutorial of someone using the same concealer but dipped her damp beauty blender into the pot and bounced the beauty blender (pointed tip toward under eye) and used it as a concealer/highlighter. It looks amazing. I completely forget about my beauty blender sometimes and wow does it make a difference when using this concealer. Its the perfect combination and blends effortlessly when using the damp beauty blender. So if youve used this too, try a beauty blender before giving up!

Hang tight!
Recipe by Peggy
"These bars are great and easy to make. Hope you like them!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (18.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix with pudding
1 egg
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/3 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
These bars are really good despite how easy they are! I've found that to take away the "cake mix" flavor of the bars, I use a yellow cake mix and add a tablespoon of lemon juice, and a tsp. or so of lemon zest (or lemon extract works well if you don't have fresh lemon zest). To make these bars a bit prettier, I drizzle them lightly with a powdered sugar/lemon juice glaze, and cut them into diamonds or triangles.
These lemon bars were pretty good and very easy for my kids to make. Although they didn't like them, they did have fun making them. I listened to some of the other reviewers and doubled the filling, I don't think these would have been very good at all if I hadn't.
189 Ratings
Made these for a graduation party!!! Fabulous and so easy...I couldn't find a Lemon Cake mix with the pudding already in, so I added a small package of Lemon Instant pudding and it worked out great! Will make again!
very nice. Made exactly as stated but did add 1/2 tsp. lemon extract to the cream cheese layer and the grated peel from 1 lemon. These were not sweet and sickening, and had a wonderful lemon flavor with the zest. The cream cheese layer offset what could otherwise be a very sweet rich bar. I didn't think they tasted like cake mix at all. I would definitely make again. *Make sure they are completely cool before cutting. Thanks for the nice recipe.
I made these for a party, and was a little leery, only because I don't like making things for gatherings that I haven't tried before-it's so embarrassing to make something that turns out terrible. These are awesome. So much better than any lemon bar I have ever made, and I'm a huge lemon bar fan. So for those of you that are non-believers like me, this one rocks. As per other suggestions, I did double the filling, and added a little extra lemon (juice of two lemons, total) Perfect. I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could!!
This was a really good lemon bar recipe, however it really needs to have double the filling. Also, the amount of lemon juice the recipe calls for makes for a really mild lemony flavor. I would suggest, if you like the bars to be lemony, increasing the amount of lemon juice. We used 5 tbls in ours. This recipe passed my boyfriend's taste test--and we've been through every box recipe the stores have to offer!
I used a lemon cake mix and a small box of lemon pudding for the crust and then i doubled the filling, using juice from 3 lemons, it was a hit everyone loved them!
These lemon bars turned out good, but I have a few complaints. The crust seemed a little dry and crumbly - even with the one cup of butter base ! The two lemons I used produced 8T of lemon juice, and it turned out just fine with adding additional flour. I recommend that you watch the bars, because the 20minutes recommended was too long, and the top really started to burn ! Overall, I would make these again. They had a good flavor - not too sweet.

- Excellent indoor hoop Review by Heels Fans
Rating Great product-- very sturdy and fun to use. The spring/rubber bushing gave out after my son and his friend hung on the rim (counter to the very clear instructions against this), but I emailed and got a free replacement from JustInTyme [...]. Excellent! One thing we don't like: The foam balls are too light for good shooting-- you can get used to it, but it would be better if they could come up with a similar ball with more mass. Customer service was great when the bushing/spring broke and got us a new one in days. Thanks! (Original 3/22/11)

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
That's the level -- -- for more of the living fiscal Clinton proposals bouncing around Washington let's bring congressman John Carney of Delaware he joins us from Capitol Hill.
I'm sure -- conversation that came before you congressman how close do you think we're getting to really solving this problem.
Well first of all I think -- was a good characterization of where we are.
And the the analogy with.
With the peanuts character is some ways appropriate I think this is really what you can expect.
With both sides talking about what they want what they're willing to do.
As opening positions and then maybe moving a little bit more deliberately -- slowly.
Frankly to look to an agreement.
But what.
Everyone sort of sticking to their guns and -- we aren't getting closer to resolution meanwhile -- the clocks ticking.
Yeah I think that's right but I think -- there's been tremendous movement if you just consider the difference from -- two or three months ago.
To where we are today where the Republican side as has been considerable amount of revenue on the table the issue really there is the increase.
In the rates vs a tax reform which is an important.
Important item and then on the other side.
A concern about specificity with respect to spending cuts and both need to happen -- I'm among the number of members who -- very interested in seeing.
And every year presented to us are going to be a defensive if it's going to be an agreement that's gonna work they're going to be things and if there were not gonna like.
Right okay so -- secretary of finance in Delaware you're known for reducing the State's debt cutting taxes.
And you -- the first triple A bond rating in Delaware history so that's an incredible accomplishment.
You've also written extensively on how to rein in deficit spending but where do you stand -- just reference this on the president's call for one point four trillion in revenue and should.
The tax rates go up for the wealthiest Americans.
Yeah I think it should I mean that's the -- -- basically own all the responsible plans to address this fiscal situation look and if we do this if we come together on an agreement I.
I'm very optimistic about what the economy will do what the markets will do.
In the future a lot of good things on the horizon for -- but we've got to do our business here in Washington.
Gotta come up with -- -- got to be balance the markets have to interpreted as being real we don't really have to.
-- get frustrated that Democrats are.
Agreeing to deeper spending cuts would you be amenable to more spending cuts.
What I think we have to have spending cuts was no question about their and we have to be specific about it.
I think the only way that that's gonna happen is to identify a target both on spending cuts and for frankly.
Tax reform and move into next year and let the committees of jurisdiction.
Go to address -- spending cuts and and -- reform targets.
But if you look at the revenue that's generated by raising those marginal tax rates if he conceded that he would run the government for a week and a half.
I mean do you feel pressure to really reform.
And slow the growth -- -- cut the size of government to something that taxpayers can actually support because it seems like what's coming out of both sides.
Is still a government that can't be supported.
By taxpayers.
Yeah I think that's exactly right we have to have spending cuts if you look at.
The framework that the Simpson Bowles plan put together.
It's three dollars of cuts for every dollar revenue I think something on that order needs to be part of the framework we -- the most important thing.
Is that we have two.
-- the spending curve the cost curve down with health care.
Across the board.
For Medicaid Medicare of course -- the -- the government programs but you could talk to any business person as I do in my state.
And they'll tell you that health care costs -- inflation is just killing.
Yeah absolutely congressman thanks for joining us we appreciate your time as always thanks.

text: Boost of ConfidencePOSTED: 14 July 2011 Boost of Confidence Self-confidence is always important for a team. Sometimes, it even acts a catalyst that can completely change the performance and personality of the team. Let me show you a good example. After the 10th round of Swedish Allsvenskan, Djugardens was able to earn only a single win. 5 matches later, they impressed everyone with 4 wins & a draw. Though they did get a draw in the last match, it was still a surprising performance since they went up against the table leader Helsingbord. They couldn't have pulled off a draw against Helsingborg without the confidence and momentum they built up in the 4 matches prior to that. Djugardens' next match is set against Mjallby at home. How ironic can things get? Mjallby is at the opposite end after gaining only a single win and five losses in their last 6 matches. If you take a look at the past tiffs between these teams, the home team always defends home soil successfully. It's an easy decision, Home win! |

Pelican Bay State Prison inmates stand in the yard during an exercise period in Crescent City, Calif. (Los Angeles Times / October 13, 2012) |
When liberals expand the reach and cost of government, we conservatives label them "knee-jerk." However, conservatives have shown themselves to be enthusiastically knee-jerk in one area: criminal justice spending. For more than 40 years, conservatives have blindly supported a vast expansion of criminal laws and appropriated billions of dollars for new prisons to hold the inmates convicted under those laws.
Now, the weight of those costs is sinking California's budget, siphoning off dollars that could go to schools, roads, hospitals or tax cuts. With the state's expensive and troubled corrections system in crisis, there is a great opportunity to apply conservative principles — smaller, more effective government at lower cost to the taxpayers — to the prisons.
We are leaders in the national Right on Crime movement. We believe it's no longer enough for conservatives just to be tough on crime; we also must be tough on criminal justice spending. That means getting the most public safety for the fewest taxpayer dollars. Conservatives must demand the same accountability from our correctional system that we require from other government programs.
Some Republicans, for example, are trying to score short-term political points by employing old scare tactics about the state's prison "realignment" plan. Realignment gives local jails the responsibility — and funding — to oversee low-level inmates, while violent and career offenders remain the responsibility of costlier state prisons.
This is a common-sense division of responsibility. Realignment is a work in progress and there will be challenges, especially at the county level as different jurisdictions try different strategies.
Instead of reflexively chaining themselves to a costly prison structure that is failing, California conservatives should take a page from conservatives in other states who have successfully reformed prisons with conservative ideas. Those reforms have reduced crime and taxpayer costs while keeping the public safe and, when possible, providing assistance to victims.
There is much for conservatives to like about realignment. It returns significant criminal justice discretion and dollars to local control. With careful management, realignment should keep crime rates low and reduce the nearly $10-billion California corrections burden by reserving expensive prison beds for career criminals and violent felons.
The public supports the new direction. A USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll in June found that nearly 3 of 4 Californians endorse the idea behind realignment. And when David Binder Research asked crime victims whether California should "focus more on sending people to jail and prison or more on providing supervised probation and rehabilitation programs," the respondents chose probation and rehabilitation by a 2-1 ratio.
Other states have found that rethinking corrections can pay dividends, for victims and taxpayers alike. In Texas, where being tough on crime is practically a residency requirement, legislators shifted funds from building prisons to alternatives such as strengthening probation and expanding drug courts. Texas saved more than $2 billion in prison costs, and crime rates have fallen to levels not seen since 1968.
Texas' example has been repeated in states such as Ohio, Georgia and South Carolina. And in Oregon, the Legislature passed a major reform bill with bipartisan support that will help the state save $326 million in new-prison construction while supporting local programs proven to prevent crime and reduce recidivism. Supporters included Oregon's associations of police chiefs, district attorneys, state police and sheriffs.
With California at a critical crossroads, the time is right for conservatives at the state and county levels to weigh in on corrections reforms. Here are three possible pathways:
Evaluation. One of realignment's weaknesses is the absence of outside evaluation of outcomes. Demand strict local accountability for taxpayer dollars and hard evidence of program results.
Alternatives and treatment. Explore how drug offenders, whether imprisoned or not, might be better helped to overcome addiction, which drives many lower-level crimes.
Accountability. Use sanctions that are rooted in conservative values, such as requiring restitution to victims, community service and other cost-effective measures that hold offenders accountable while helping them resume productive, law-abiding lives.
For too long, California conservatives have fallen into rhetorical traps that run counter to true conservative values of limited government and fiscal discipline. Now is the time for conservatives to retire the tough-on-crime sound bites and instead propose proven criminal justice reforms.
Pat Nolan, a distinguished fellow on justice at Prison Fellowship Ministries, was Republican leader of the California Assembly (R-Glendale) from 1984 to 1988. Chuck DeVore, vice president of policy at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, served in the Assembly (R-Irvine) from 2004 to 2010.

Sweet edible gifts not your thing? Then how about something savory? Even better, how about something bacon-y, like this to-die-for bacon jam. It's so good that I could only give one jar away. (I gifted myself with the other jar.) It's smoky, sweet, porky, and spicy. A long, slow cook ensures that the onions caramelize and the bacon melts. It has the chunky texture of tapenade and is easy to spread.
I've enjoyed it on toast, crackers, pasta, burgers, and simply and devilishly by the spoonful. If you want someone to fall in love with you, then I highly recommend giving them bacon jam. The words themselves are magical — say it with me: bacon jam. Bacon jam. You get the idea; now get the recipe!

Son of Rambow
Published: August 11, 2008
The threat of cloying nostalgia hovers over Son of Rambow like the sword of Damocles. It's set in the early 1980s, with musical nods to the Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Preteen outcasts Lee (Poulter)—a scrappy rebel always one step away from detention—and Will (Milner)—a sweet lad from a religious sect that believes television and movies are sinful distractions—form a bond over their shared love of Sylvester Stallone's Rambo in First Blood. Armed with a video camera, they set out to make their own sequel. Jennings may not convert the pure cynics, but he does his damnedest to restore respectability to the term whimsy.
