Statistically, dealer Paul Reeves's selling exhibition fared slightly better than its accompanying Sotheby's auction, with 60% of the 134 pieces selling during the show and another 10% afterwards. The spotlight fell on a pair of vases by Edward William Godwin (1833-1886), decorated in scraffito with Japanese-style bird motifs (one illustrated right). Made in 1877, they were unique and went to the V&A museum for £112,500 ($222,750).
The move by Sotheby's to generate a curated sale in exchange for a selling exhibition has provoked mixed reactions in the trade. Dealers supported Paul Reeves's decision to work with the auctioneers as "too good to miss", but were ambivalent about Sotheby's role. "Paul worked extremely hard to make the auction happen," said the Fine Art Society's Max Donnelly. "It's good for us that it has brought glamour to British design, but it blurs the boundaries and takes ground from dealers."Former Sotheby's auctioneer and dealer Christopher Wood said: "It was a remarkable assemblage of British design but I'm not in favour of half-auction, half-exhibition—it's confusing. There was too much for what is still a very small, underappreciated market" V.L.

HAVE YOUR SAY: Group's market bid for Cockermouth
Last updated at 13:23, Friday, 01 February 2013
Proposals to revive Cockermouth's market have been put forward by a community group.
Riversmeet Community Co-operative wants to start talks about holding bustling markets in the town, as it believes that national retailers are taking business away from local traders.
The group is working with the Plunkett Foundation's National Local Food Systems Initiative, which has helped to reinvent local markets across the UK.
Currently, the town hosts a market once a month on a Saturday in Market Place, which has about three or four stalls.
Rick Cross, of Riversmeet, said: "Small towns like Cockermouth have experienced a reduced diversity in local products and services and shrinking job options for young people.
"The profits of our weekly shop are coming out of the local economy and what remains supports the dwindling cluster of truly local shops and suppliers that most locals and visitors say is what they like about our town.
"Now our street market has shrunk to a point that it has become commercially non-viable."
Mr Cross is working with Allerdale council on the idea and said he had received a positive response from Cockermouth and District Chamber of Trade.
He said: "I think most of the community feels the market is important to the town and this is an opportunity for them to let us know their views.
"We want the community to benefit more widely as the market has been the beating heart of the town since the 13th century.
"The market has so many social, community and local economic benefits and it needs people to come together and explore the possibilities."
Riversmeet will start a small monthly craft and produce market.
The first will be held on March 2, from 10am to 3pm, at the organisation's community resource centre on Market Street.

Six directors of Harrods, the flagship Knightsbridge store owned by Egyptian-born tycoon Mohamed al-Fayed, have quit the firm in the last 12 months. The resignations, revealed in the company's latest accounts, follow those of three other Harrods directors who left last year.
The departures will prompt speculation about the store's fortunes, already under scrutiny after it emerged that profits tumbled 50 per cent in the year to 31 January.
'Trading has been awful recently and we would not be surprised if operating profits at the store of £29 million in the previous year moved into a loss of £10-15m in the current year,' said Nick Bubb, retail analyst at Societe Generale.
This would have a serious effect on Harrods, which provides the lion's share of profits for Fayed's business empire. The latest set of accounts shows that pre-tax profits at Harrods Limited, the company running the store, fell from £38.9m to £20.2m.
Former Tory MP Charles Wardle, who quit Harrods Limited last month along with the firm's managing director, John Whitacre, is the latest, most high-profile, resignation. Four other directors listed in the accounts as JM Griffiths, MFV Zingraff, A Pitcher and AK Wiles - resigned in the last 12 months. Three other directors quit in 2000. Five directors of Harrods International, which runs the Harrods airports stores, also resigned.
A spokesman for Harrods denied the resignations were a cause for concern.

Super help please - in over my head!

Went into our bank today as it's high time we consolidate all out super funds into one, ive been meaning to do it for ages
After 15 mins i was way in over my head! Call me ignorant but i obviously know nothing about super and all it entails, as apparently you can do so much more with super than i knew.
Could someone please tell me what it all means. This lady helping me was telling me all about investments, shares, insurance etc. I really dont know what to do with our super once its consolidated.
I dont know which plan to pick as well. Ok lets be straight - i know nothing basically ok?! I thought our money went away by employers into a nice little account and we access is when we retire. Oh how wrong i am.
Posted 13 November 2012 - 12:52 PM
Before you even look indepth at what you want to do with it, pick the super fund you want to put it all in.
Call them all and get them to each send you a PDS compare fees, insurances, investment structure and earnings for the last 10 years or so. Choose the one you think will work best for you and go from there.
I'm sure there are people out there who can do all the leg work for you if you're willing to pay for it
Posted 29 November 2012 - 06:27 AM
It can be as complex or easy as you like. At its simplest, pick a fund that has low fees and a solid performance, and then within the fund you will be given investment options. At its most complicated, you can start your own superfund and be in charge of your cash.
Posted 29 November 2012 - 06:31 AM
lots of helpful information here
Posted 29 November 2012 - 07:13 AM
You get a choice of funds, and within the fund you get a choice of investments.
Super funds can also provide you with life insurance, total and permanent disability insurance, and income protection insurance. This will cost extra but it comes out of your pre-tax income so it can work out better than getting insurance separately.
The main things to think about when deciding are:
Fees - what are you going to be charged every year, and how does this add up over the life of your super. Some people find that industry super funds suit them best on this issue.
Performance - how did the fund go over the last few years in comparison to others.
Risk v security - this is where the different types of investments come in. Obviously the safest investments is cash in the bank, but it won't stay ahead of inflation. Shares and property will have more potential for growth but can go backwards as well. The idea is to have a mix of investments that suits your risk profile.
Your risk profile will depend on your personal preference and when you intend retiring - people who want to retire in only a few years will generally favour security over growth, in case there is a big downturn in the market in the next few years. Younger people should generally go for more growth, as any losses should balance out over time. Your fund will probably have a few choices ranging from Conservative to Balanced to High Growth - you don't actually have to chose the investments yourself.
You can even chose options which guarantee that they only hold ethical investments (Like no tobacco or gambling).
Insurance - what would your family need if you pass away or are permanently disabled? Most people start with the amount it would take to pay off the mortgage.
Hope this helps

I really need to consolidate my super... I know I have lost super, plus super in a mirade of accounts.
I think I have about 4 different super accounts? *facepalm* I keep saying I'll do it and then I don't!
I'll wait until I start my new job next year and then I'll put it all into that super account. I just need to get all the details of my super accounts together first.
I don't even know where to start with consolidating it though, do I contact the super I want it to go to and they do it or do I inform all the others I want it moved to super XYZ.
Sorry to hijack your thread OP :/

There is a tool on the ATO's website where you can search for lost super, so that would be the best place to start.
Then once you know what fund you are going to roll everything into, contact them & let them know you have super that you wish to roll into your account with them & they should send you the documents you need to fill out.

There is a link on the page, you'll need your TFN. When you have all the details of the funds, ring them and ask for a current statement/information - this way you'll find out if you have any death/TPD cover (which you may want to keep). Also ask about the fees as the new one you get with your new job may not necessarily be the best.
To consolidate, all you need to do is pick which one you want to stay with and call them, most super funds will do the work for you, all you'll need to do is fill out the forms they send you and get certified id. They send the info off to the other funds and get the money transferred across for you.
The alternative is to wait until the government introduces their new website (I think it is in 2013) and you'll be able to do it all online.

Wayne Swan Insists Surplus on Track, No GST Amendments
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Erik Pineda | November 5, 2012 6:00 PM EST
Australia's economic goals remain firmly in place, Treasurer Wayne Swan said on Monday, insisting that Labor's commitment of delivering a surplus by May 2013 is not a remote possibility.
Pointing to the recently released Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO), Mr Swan stressed that the surplus target of $1.1 billion, downward revised from previous projections of $1.5 billion, is wholly achievable owing to the spending adjustments laid out by the government over the next six months.
The Gillard Government has proposed wide-ranging cuts on federal expenditures, which mostly the public would feel via the reduced payments for baby bonus and public health insurance.
But a new report from Deloitte Access Economics has suggested today that slashing funds for government services alone will not necessarily power the government's aim of producing more savings and translate them to a surplus, which Labor critics said, has precariously adopted as its core economic road map.
Factors that were controllable by Canberra would likely frustrate that target, the Deloitte report said, such as the deliberate cooling down of China's economy, which is Australia's biggest market for its resources shipments.
The subsequent weakening of global commodities prices, particularly of coal and iron ore, took a big hit on projected government revenues, mainly hinged on the minerals resource rent tax (MRRT) that started rolling out July this year.
Three months after taking effect, the mining tax produced zero revenues for the government as the resource industry struggled to squeezed profits from meagre orders and plunging market prices for commodities.
According to Deloitte Director Chris Richardson, Canberra's budget plan seemed to have overlooked the impact of Beijing's economy to that of the local setting despite strong indications that "in recent months, it's been China that's still hurting the budget bottom line."
"For a couple of years now the government's had to keep scrambling and scrambling basically because the headwinds keep getting stronger," Mr Richardson was quoted by ABC as saying on Monday.
He had concluded that instead of arriving at a surplus, the government will be left to swallow a deficit, though in a much manageable scale of $4 billion as against to the mammoth 2012 budget shortfall of more than $43 billion.
The Deloitte report, however, was unacceptable for the government, Mr Swan told ABC on Monday.
"I certainly don't believe that (the Deloitte report) is correct . . . and of course, Deloitte Access Economics doesn't always get it right," the treasurer asserted.
In the same interview, Mr Swan reiterated too that Labor has no immediate plans to reassess the GST following the review submitted on Friday last week.
"We believe the GST, by lifting or broadening the base, would really hit people, particularly battlers, really hard," the treasurer told ABC, adding that doing so "is not a priority of this government."
But former New South Wales Premier Nick Greiner, who chaired the GST review panel, has maintained that it would be stupid of the government to dismiss outright any rethink or dialogue pertaining to improving the current from of the tax.
Mr Swan simply replied that he would issue a rejoinder on the matter and discuss it on state level within this year.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It's not just the food either. I do admit I'm a fan of cranberry sauce and turkey and stuffing, apple, pumpkin and mince pie, etc. But there's more to this great holiday than the good food.
I also have many good family memories of this important day. They go way back to my childhood when Uncle Jerry would come for deer hunting at our upstate western NY farm and he and Dad would tell the stories of their youthful deer hunting days. Then Mom and Grandma would put on a feast, except in those days we didn't eat turkey, we ate roosters we had raised and butchered ourselves. As an adult I remember not only Thanksgiving dinners with my Mom and Dad at their house, but also Thanksgiving times with JoAnne's family at her younger brother Mark's house in Bath. We played pool in the basement and watched football while the turkey was cooking.
Over the years as a Pastor, I have developed an affection for what this day stands for through my work with people. So many folks are deeply burdened. They expect the worst and focus most of their energy reciting their troubles. There is no thought of thanksgiving. But by contrast, sometimes I go to the hospital and visit a very sick parishioner and find them giving thanks that things aren't worse and praying for someone in the other bed who is so much worse off than they are. I'm quite sure right then that person will make a good recovery. They have the attitude of gratitude which is so foundational to spiritual and mental health and affects our physical health as well.
"Thanksgiving is Foundational" will be the theme for our November sermon series at Copper Hill Church. I hope to guide us in reflecting together on how the habit of being grateful can change our lives for the better. Thanksgiving is just so wholesome. Here's the series outline. It's only a three week series because the Advent/Christmas season begins on November 30 this year.

It seems no matter what I do I can not hit more than 60% eficiency And I can not understand why I have changed the P.H. of my water using P.H. 5.2 I have a fine crush I use breiss pale 2 row malt for my base I use 2 electric turkey fryers one for sparge and one for my MLT I like these because it is easy to control the temp. I heat my water to 155 then add my grain because I use the fryers I do not loose much heat at this time usually cook for one hour with no rest then mash out and sparge with 170 water any Idea what the hell is going on I'm lost
*******Check Out My Rolling KegeratorBierMuncher Tried & Trues: Tits-Up IIPA (3-Time Medalist), Black Pearl Porter, Kona Pale Ale, Outer Limits IPA, Centennial Blonde (4.0%), Nierra Sevada (SNPA), SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde,
if you are heating your water to only 155 then adding the grains, your only going to be mashing in the 140s. you need to compensate for your grain temps
Are you sure the software or calculation you are using is correct relative to your actual malt?
Heat your strike water to 168-170ish. And, I recommend using a cooler MLT, much better temp control.
If your thermometer is near the bottom of your turkey fryer its going to be hotter down there, so you won't necessarily have a constant temp throughout.
... my 2 cents.
I agree that your strike temperature is too low. How much water are you using in the mash and sparge?
Also, what do you mean by this?

On the eve of Christmas, Brooklyn rapper Red Cafe recently opened up on his personal interest in female stars like Sade and Katy Perry along with unveiling a celebrity crush on actress Zoe Saldana.
Asked a few female-related questions, Cafe admitted he is a huge Sade fan.
"I listen to Sade. I'm a big Prince fan. Their melodies triggers things that make me feel like maybe I can do something like that," he revealed. "[If I could collab with any pop artist?] I like Katy Perry. I think we'd make a hot record. [Celebrity crushes?] Zoe Saldana is hot. I like clever, not slick women. I'm very easily turned off." (Global Grind)
The Brooklyn rhyme spitter also revealed his admiration for elusive rapper/singer Lauryn Hill.
"I definitely wanna work with Lil Wayne and Jay-Z. I think me and Lauryn Hill could make a great, classic record. I'm a fan of great artists and music, so for you to stay relevant and I've been around for a long time so for me to still be relevant, you have to be a fan. I listen to everything and then I take things that I need to take from it to inspire me, which I think is necessary." (Global Grind)
Fellow New York rapper Saigon previously hit up SOHH and said he would choose R&B singer Keri Hilson for his 2011 Valentine.
"If I could choose any lady in the world for Valentine's Day, it would be Keri Hilson," Sai revealed. "Tell her I said that. [laughs] Tell her I love her. I love Keri Hilson. [Women like her] always say they like bad boys until they call and ask them for bail money. [laughs] Where would I take her for our date? Hmmm. Where would I take Keri Hilson on Valentine's Day? I'd take her to the pad, man. We're going to the crib just in case I don't get this opportunity again. So I would try to seal the deal. One night, one shot, one kill. Tell her she's on my mind all the time." (SOHH)
Unfortunately for Sai, Keri told SOHH her big dreamy Valentine would be model Tyson Beckford.
"I don't really know who I'd pick for Valentine's Day," Hilson confessed. "I guess the closest would be [model] Tyson Beckford, maybe. I don't know him personally, so it's purely off of looks. I only know him in passing and I think he's adorable. That's it. He's somebody who in high school and in college I really had a crush on. So it would be him and where would we go? Hmm. Bowling." (SOHH)

Good group activity ideas, thanks.
I've played many of these over the last few years; they're all good fun. Now that I've got little girls, I try to encourage them to play these regular games, but ask them to think of ways in which the rules can be changed. It's a great way to get them involved and make playtime learning time too ;)
Thanks, I am a young youth leader and it is great to get some ideas.
Group Activities – List of 75 Things You Can Do � Great Group Games Blog, was a
wonderful blog title to give this article. Where
can I actually read through even more pertaining to this?
I was wondering for a large group of parent what would be something we can do the moms at my child school are on the older side and are bit more experience then myself so far what I've suggested has been good but ran out of ideas since there's both male and females I suggested a spa date but didn't get a lot of reply, had a play date when successful suggested we'd meet up for drinks no one was able to make it. Its a co op so this is something I was assigned to do please help if it helps its in San Carlos were majority of the parents live.
Hi there! I could have sworn I've visited this web site before but after browsing
through some of the posts I realized it's new
to me. Anyways, I'm certainly happy I stumbled upon it and I'll
be book-marking it and checking back often!

Choro Democrático includes Luciana Araripe, mandolin; Adam Bahrami, cavaquinho; faculty flutist Fernando Brandão; Jason Davis, seven-string guitar; Keita Ogawa, pandeiro and percussion; and Tom Rohde, six-string guitar. Special guest: Evan Harlan, accordion. Choro (pronounced 'shoh-roh) and maxixe ('mah-shee-sheh) were two of the first musical styles to evolve as truly and authentically Brazilian. Choro and maxixe originated in the late 1800s in Rio de Janeiro through the melding of Europeans dance forms (like the polka and waltz) and African lundus. In its 130 years, choro has gone through many phases, but like jazz, it has never died. Today, it is one of the most important and rich genres for musicians learning the vocabulary of Brazilian instrumental music, and experienced a particularly strong and fertile period in the last 15 years. The traditional choro ensemble is formed of one or more solo instruments (flute, mandolin, clarinet and saxophone being the most common), the cavaquinho (four-string soprano guitar), one or more guitars, and pandeiro (tambourine). The cavaquinho plays harmony and rhythm. The guitar also plays harmony, but central to its role are improvised bass lines that create counterpoint to the main melody. These bass lines are played by a six- or seven-string guitar; the latter is a typical instrument in the ensemble and takes the place of an acoustic bass. The pandeiro plays syncopated rhythmic patterns. La Timbistica (the Berklee Latin Jazz All-Stars), a sextet and 11-piece powerhouse salsa band, started with six top scholarship students at the college from Puerto Rico, Israel, and the United States and coalesced around their love for the polyrhythms and joyful precision of the Latin jazz form. The group was named this year's Best College Jazz Band in Down Beat and was featured at the Monterey and Duke Ellington jazz festivals and the Berklee in Valencia project. The All-Stars are led by conguero Paulo Stagnaro and include timbalero Marcos Lopez, bassist Juan Maldonado, pianist Abraham Olivo, trumpeter Niv Toar, and flutist Enrique Trinidad.

Permissions | Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
DragonTravel gives players the opportunity to ride dragons in Minecraft.
It offers server-admins the possibility to add a new outstanding way of travel to their servers.
More videos on DragonTravel (including tutorials)
- Allows admins to set destinations for the dragons.
- Allows players with the specific permission to summon and mount a dragon and...
...fly flights which consists out of waypoints(as many as you like)
...fly to destinations which have been set by an admin before.
...fly to coordinates chosen via command.
...fly to players choosen via command(different permission-nodes for other types of travel).
...fly to your faction's home-position (Factions required)
...fly to a home-position which has been set by this player earlier.
- Allows admins to set stations and limit the mounting of dragons to these locations (or a specified radius around it).
- Possibility to require a special item for players to use the plugin (e.g. a dragon-egg)
- Making signs which automatically mount a player and bring them to the written destination on the sign.
- Permissions-Support
- Support of all Economy-Plugins supported by Vault (Vault is required for that)!
Admins can set different prices for all ways of travel!
- Admins can choose in the config whether dragons of this plugin should destroy blocks or if any dragons should break blocks when touching.
- All messages are fully customizable! Default messages.yml is English, but we provide other language-files in our wiki.
Due to the fact that things can change rapidly in this project, I stopped maintaining instructions on the plugin and other information like a list of commands/permissions in the forums, on this page etc. and decided to create a central location where you can always find all information up-to-date: The DragonTravel-Wiki.
Please use this wiki and report all mistakes you find in there and avoid posting questions on topics like commands/permissions/sign-creation etc., which are answered in the wiki, in the comments.
The questions and requests posted in the comments are repeating and there are some questions we answer at least once per week, so we decided to write down some of those Frequently Asked Questions.
Please read the questions below and see if you can find your question there, this really saves us time we can then spend on the development of DragonTravel.
- Is it possible to change the speed the dragon's wings are flapping?
- Is it possible to remove the dragon's health-bar?
- Is it possible to control the dragon manually?
- Is it possible to move the rider closer to the dragon to avoid him flying above it?
- DragonTravel does not start, what can be the problem?
You can find the answers to those questions in the FAQ!
Please read the paragraph above before posting any questions!

I am not sure it was the best but it definitely has a lot of memories. :-)
no the N64 imo sucked. similar to the Wii it had alot of lackluster titles. PS1 was god of that era. Then PS2. Now XBOX 360. Before N64 SNES was god of that gen, before that NES, before that Atari was god, before that PONG FTW!.

"I guess the phrase "should've quit while your ahead" applies for nintendo here.
Good times, Ocarina of Time, Mario Party, Super smash bro's
Does it? The Playstation outsold the N64, if I remember correctly.
Anyone miss the Sega Saturn? I'm feeling really nostalgic for it right now.
The Nintendo 64? That system had months of game droughts. Yeah now it seems like a pretty good console but people have to realize that those Nintendo and RARE games they refer to were pretty much all that there was to the system. Add Body Harvester, Resident Evil 2, Spacestation Silicon Valley, Sin & Punishment, and Ogre Battle 64 and that's pretty much all there was to the system.
Yeah it had a great line-up but for a console that was out for 5 years that's pretty weak. I mean in comparison the Wii and especially the DS are far better consoles as they deliver far more compared to the N64 in its point in time.

not THE best but defiantly one of them
"Axersia said:I would disagree. The orginal xbox controller is the worst ever. That thing was to big for half of the american population to play, and the entire Japanese population to play."The greatest system can't be the greatest system if it has the worst controller.

I don't think it's anywhere near the best, in fact some people will claim it was the worst, though that's a huge lack of perspective.
It was a great console because it had great games, games that really meant something to the people who played them. Mario 64 was the first 3D (not sprite-based) game of any kind that didn't suck, Goldeneye invented and perfected the template for what we consider the modern shooter, Rogue Squadron and Mario Kart (and Golf) and Conker's Bad Fur Day and Turok 2 and Perfect Dark were all awesome. Others, like Star Fox and Zelda 64 are on a lot of people's best-game-ever list, though I was left a little wanting by them.
Also, I'll still hold that, from a non-business, strictly gamer perspective, Nintendo did good in staying with the carts. Those things loaded instantly, and N64 was (games aside) a much better system to play than the PS1, hands down. People who say otherwise have completely forgotten just how insanely long first generation PS loading times were. From a business standpoint it was stupid of Big N, nobody wanted to develop for them, but from a gamer's perspective it was much more pleasurable to play the good games that did come out for it.
The bad, of course:
RPG fans were completely left out. I mean, so completely left out that me and my friends tried to theorize for years about what technical bug there was that prevented a single RPG from coming out on the system, like, ever. The closest they ever came was the godawful Quest 64. I know the whole backstory with Square and Sony and CDRoms and so forth, but God DAMN, not one RPG for the company that had virtually all the RPGs in the SNES generation.
The RPG thing was just a symptom of the system's real problem, of course, the carts. The reason there was such a high hit-percentage on the N64 was that you'd have to be crazy to develop for it if you knew you weren't going to make a hit, since the materials cost 20-25 $ vs. < $1 for the PS.
And of course, I'll always be a bit bitter about the N64 because that was when Nintendo began its slide into kid-focus in earnest. And then there were little things like the draw distance and the expansion RAM and the space on the carts, but those are the same sorts of things fanboys argue about today. (Zomg Blu-Ray! Live ftw! MotionPlus splits the userbase!)

I love nostalgia as much as the next, but I think (so far) the "greatest system of all time" changes with each generation. I have never had so much fun with video games until I got my Xbox 360. Better games, better graphics, better controls, and an unrivaled online experience. It's my favorite, until next generation that is....

I enjoyed the controller. It worked well for most games and games that had the choice of using the dpad or the joystick almost always picked the correct use, (wrestling games using the d-pad, while lots of other games used the joystick primarily). The buttons were all in great places. Even someone who didn't like the controller and felt awkward switching from button to button can at least admit that it did feel good in your hands. Most of my favorite games are on this, this and SNES are my 2 top faves.

ARIEL, Israel - The surveillance video showed Jack Teitel leaving a bomb disguised as a Purim package in March of 2008. The bomb exploded in the face of then 15-year-old Ami Ortiz, nearly killing him.
Miraculously, Ortiz has recovered from nearly all of his wounds and now plays basketball for his high school. CBN News talked to Ortiz about his reaction to the long-awaited arrest of the man who tried to kill him.
"Relief, of course to hear that somebody that tried to murder you and your family is in jail," he said.
Despite the Ortiz attack and other crimes, Teitel told reporters he was proud and his goal was to wipe out Messianic Jews in israel.
"You are completely pure in what you did?," a reporter asked him.
"Absolutely," Teitel responded. "It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve my God."
Ortiz hopes Teitel has a change of heart.
"I'm praying and hoping that in this time in jail he'll think about it and understand and realize he's done some pretty serious mistakes and he needs to repent," he explained.
Ortiz says he has forgiven his attacker.
"From the beginning there was no hate for nobody,'" he said. "I thought maybe there would be a chance I'd change once I saw a face. But thank God, no, nothing's changed."
The one change is exposure. The bombing spread news about Jews believing in Jesus throughout Israel and the world. It also led to a groundswell of support and prayer for the Ortiz family.
" amazing how much support we got, the prayers," Ortiz said. "I believe it worked tremendously in this whole story."
The bombing nearly broke Ortiz's body, but he says it's also built his faith.
"I've seen many miracles on my own body," he said. "I've felt it. You see how awesome God is. He controls everything, every little thing. I understand why people say God is so great. Because he can control everything. No problem."
"I've heard that people said that it brought them closer to God and brought the congregation closer to each other and it's not over yet," Ortiz continued. "I believe God's still working and will work and do greater stuff. So we have to wait and see."

The article states that a DI claimant must have worked for 5 of the last 10 years. Although accurate in most cases, the work requirement is based on the age of the claimant. Someone who files a claim at age 24, by example, would only need 6 quarters of covered earnings which easily translates to about 6 months of work. Another issue is that benefits are calculated assuming that the claimant had continued to work until age 70 which results in a larger monthly award than the typical retiree who stops working at age 65 (or earlier). Everyone knows of people abusing the system such as my brother who is a real estate broker and runs his commissions through his daughter. Disability should be for people who can not work at any job rather than for people who have a sondition that makes it uncomfortable to work.
Some easy partial fixes might include basing benefits on age 65 projected social security retirement benefits, providing healthcare for the disabled through Medicaid rather than Medicare (Medicaid negotiates prescription drug prices while Medicare doesn't), requiring that claimants show they are not able to do any work rather than not do the work they did before (a disabled beat cop might be able to work the desk) and making more of an effort to reduce fraud.
I would be interested in seeing a racial breakout of the DI claimants. Using a Lake County, Indiana, lawyer as a source is suggestive that a large portion of his client base are African American or some other minority. For many minority families, welfare and/or disability is a viable 'career.' Some high school students have been quoted as saying that is their career plan.
My mail carrier says she delivers 6 soc sec checks to one household which appears to consist of able bodied people. Sort of upsets her.
Not to deny legitimate payments to honestly needy people but this program seems to be particularly subject to abuse.
There are always the stories about the 'easy' doctors that will certify that a claimant is permanently disabled. How many claimants have the same doctors certifying their disabilities?
This is a really laughable assessment from someone, who apperently never applied for SSI. First time claims are almost always denied. Same with the second. For instance, my mother had two aneurisms, chronic kidney disease and asthma. Because she had worked her whole life, she was turned down for DI. On the other hand, if you are any age and admit to being a drug-addict, alcoholic, or for any reason have not kept a job more than a month or so at a time, you are a shoe in. It's not that old folks who have worked for thirty years are getting on the dole becasue they're tired of working. The main problem with SSI, is that it is arbitrary. I actually know several people who could apply and should not be trunded down--one with rheumatoid arthritis, on with a bad hip and no money/insurance for a hip replacement, and one with such severe mental illness that she's had to have ECT. They know they will be turned down, and none of them have the stamina for the fight, even with a lawyer.
Disability insurance can not be overlooked. You do not know what the future can predict, so it is essential that you are covered for the unexpected. I recently finished doing all of my insurance plans, and even though it was a pain, I am glad I did it. I didn't know where to start when it came to disability insurance, but I found this post that was extremely helpful. It covers all the things to consider before choosing your plan. http://bit.ly/DisabilityInsurance
"As someone else pointed out, losing medical coverage is a disincentive to recipients who are able to work."
Not true. I am acquainted with a healthy woman in her 30s who is on permanent disability. She used to drive a school bus but started having seizures. Obviously, someone who is prone to seizures cannot drive a motor vehicle anymore. Rather than find a job in an office or retail environment, she is on disability. Meanwhile, she cleans houses under the table and can afford a new car and house as well as a vacation every year when you combine her disability and untaxed cleaning income.
She also receives free health care via the state's indigent health care program (i.e. Medicaid). Since she doesn't report her business income, as far as the state is concerned she has no income and can qualify for indigent health care. This woman knows exactly how to play the system and is riding the gravy train all the way to easy street.
I understand this is only anecdotal evidence, but I am sure there are plenty of other Economist readers with similar stories.
A tea bagger relative on mine is on SSDI for depression after being fired for showing up to work not once, but twice. Of course, she loves Scott Walker and hates public employees who actually work for their money. The irony here is that my severely autistic son can't get SSDI because I make too much money at present. But with the Governor's new budget, I will.
Finally. In the last 4 yrs we have noticed applicants for our rentals are all on DI. Whole families children for flat feet, women with fibromyalgia, men with stress/drug addict.Some of these families get a total of $3000 a month. This is an outrage. Please, point to this article when contacting your congressmen/women. The fraud and abuse is rampant. This system is broken. Not to mention the AFDC program, which pays for children to have babies. These entitlement programs are breaking the back of this country.
Disability pensions are a problem in many countries but the US seems to have some added pernicious ellements.
The role of the litigation and DI lawyers is one issue. they prey on the vulnerable and gettheir "cut". Many countries use mechanisms that keep lawyers out of these types of situations and the US should adopt these and limit the ability to appeal but since they pay a lot of money to the Democrats to keep their hand in the till that is unlikely to happen.
Another is the US does not have an effective universal medical system or a working unemployment system which leads to people who should be dealt with by other means going on DI.
One solution would be to force all working people to take out income protection insurance of their own that covers physical and mental impairment. This will transfer the cost from employers and Government to the people being covered. By covering a much larger group of contributors the cost should be kept down. As people are forced to pay more if people flaunt the system they will want to ensure there is no abuse. The Government may though need to subsidise the cost for low paid workers but that could be done in a way that would be less costly than the current DI system.
Whoops, I just saw that MichaelinMDUSA just raised the same point much more elegantly and much more thoroughly than the article.
How much does the sharply rising obesity rate contribute to the disability rates? I would imagine it is a significant contributor to back, knee, and other injuries that would then qualify somebody for DI.
From the article: "Obesity does not seem to be the main cause either. Beneficiaries claiming problems such as diabetes and heart disease comprised a sliver of the awards in 2009."
The author apparently thinks (or implies) that obesity-related DI claims can only be measured as a cause of diabetes and heart disease.
When in reality obesity itself is considered a "problem" warranting DI. For example see:
The article from that link specifically says "In 2002, SSA policy was revised yet again with obesity considered a severe impairment that merits its own medical listing."
So why conflate obesity with diabetes and heart disease? Obesity is itself a core "problem" warranting DI, and apparently a very real and significant problem outside the scope of the author's analysis.
Had the author considered obesity directly rather than indirectly as a presumed cause of diabetes and heart disease in the analysis, I think the synthesis may have been very different.
It seems to me that many readers are becoming emotional that the author of this article brought up the topic of overspending on disability insurance. Why? I think because it is true. No one is saying we should not help people who need help. The problem is that with DI and every program the government runs, the budget becomes inflated. So if .5% of the population needs help then a few years later that percentage will increase exponentially. That is because people will try to get free money. Sorry but that is what it is. Free Money.
Don't believe me. Than look at every program the government runs and look at the difference from cost estimates compared to reality.
I know several working age people who are "on disability" for the duration. They have adapted to their lower income and never plan on working again. Worse, none is truly disabled. They know they are milking the system. In every case they continue to work, lackadaisically, under the table to augment their DI.
SSDI is a great example of why aid to the poor and disabled shouldn't be administered through countless labyrinthine bureaucracies.
Freidman's negative income tax could replace most of our entitlement programs with massive gains in efficiency.
Another thing to remember is that in the US, SS DI is about the only safety net there is for adult men. Unlike the UK, we do not have public healthcare and while there are some programs for women and children, there is NOTHING for men unless you qualify as disabled. Men without health insurance have almost no access to affordable health care at all. Disabilities really happen and it is usually the result of working hard, doing physical labor, for 30 years with no health care at all. The US needs plenty of reform. Reduicng payments or access to SS DI is NOT one of them.
I don't think there needs to be changes in Social Security Disability Insurance. For one thing workers and employers pay into SS DI every paycheck. This is not a free program, it is one workers and employers pay into and I take issue with the way this article suggests that back pain and mental illness are not real conditions. I know many men with back pain and they are in real pain and not making it up. It is not hard to believe that a 50 something man would have real back pain after 30 years of working in a steel mill or any other job requiring labor or even just standing. Just remember US workers also pay into Social Security and Medicare too. There may be a need reform these programs, but not by reducing benefits to people that qualify. Americans are hard workers and I have never (yes never) met an American man that wouldn't rather work than collect disability. Unlike Europe, Americans get little vacation and sick leave time and they typically work 40-50+ hours a week most of their lives. After working like this for 30 years, I think a man deserves to qualify for disability insurance if he has back pain, a mental illness, or any other qualifying condition. The problem in the US is not with 50-60 year olds that qualify for disability, it is with our failure to tax large corporations and the mega rich. Levying a tax against US corporations and foreign ones employing people here, would resolve the Social Security problems quickly and justly.
"In 1984 Congress made it easier for DI applicants to claim mental illness and musculoskeletal disorders such as back pain—both inherently subjective ailments."
Therein lies the problem. I have seen several people on disability for "back pain" become addicted to pain pills, 2 of which ended up committing suicide. During college I worked for an employment survey, and I was absolutely amazed at the number of people who were on disability. It could have just been the fact the disabled people were more likely to be at home to answer the phone, but there is an army of disabled people sitting at home throughout our country. They watch TV, eat unhealthy foods, and slowly become more disabled. Our government is encouraging this through current disability policies, but nobody is going to change the system and lost those armies of voters sitting at home on the sofa.
The article glosses over the fact that the reason that these disability applicants have attorneys at the appeal level is that attorneys are entitled to a "cut" of the disability award off the top and do not have to chase their struggling client for a fee.
The Republican Tea Party need another Maggie who will stand up to the Trade Union scums supported from the White House who will demand high pays for low productivity work.
OH! My goodness! Governments enact legislation providing free benefits and people actually lie to become entitled! And this is NEWS? Good gracious! It is only happening all around the world! EVERY socialistic program enacted anywhere has experienced the same thing. Hell, I dated a nurse in Canada in the early 1960's. She told me of the numerous children brought to the hospital on Friday and picked up on Monday. Very heavy incidence of that happening. Why? Easy! Free competent babysitting as there was NO cost to the parents.
Socialistic governments and politicians enact "reasonable, needed" legislation that free loaders and fraudsters quickly turn to their own advantage. The major effect of this legislation is to provide a totally new and effective system of fraudulent activity. The socialists and the governments NEVER learn. They keep doing the same thing over and over, and keep expecting different results. Now THAT is stupidity! And there is a rumor of intelligent life on Earth? BAH! HUMBUG!
