Episode #34
Fed up with the economy?
Turns out there's a little committee in charge of making sure you don't get a raise.
Why haven't wages risen in 40 years? It's not just bad luck. The mostly invisible, ultra-powerful folks who run at the Federal Reserve have gone to great lengths to keep it that way. When too many people get jobs, when pay starts going up... wham! They knock things back down again.
But lately, things have been a little different. The financial crisis jolted the Fed into superhero mode—and Janet Yellen, the new boss, seems determined to make the economy work for regular people. Trouble is, the old guard's not happy about it. What's needed is another jolt, a fresh infusion of real-world voices. And now, an unlikely group of outsiders is stepping up to provide it.
Meet Action United's Kendra Brooks, the AFL CIO's Damon Silvers, and the Center for Popular Democracy's Ady Barkan—and go inside what might be the wonkiest and most important economic-justice fight of the year. Or the decade. http://tgf.fm/34

Show Notes
- For more information about the Federal Reserve's and other international central bankers' annual hangout session in Jackson Hole, check out this super-fancy official website. Juicy details include: a complete history of the symposium (the tradition started three decades ago!), more information about this year's meeting (they adjourn each day at 2pm!), a complete guest list (check it, maybe someone you know went!), and others.
- Center for Popular Democracy explains why it's organizing protests at the Fed's annual Jackson Hole symposium.
- Here's The New York Times' coverage of Chairwoman Janet Yellen's remarks at this year's symposium. Our guest Ady Barkan is quoted at the end of the article.
- Like us, Vox wants you to meet the activists who protested in Jackson Hole to get their voices heard and considered as central bankers weigh policies. Our guest Kendra Brooks is quoted there!
- Bloomberg News covered the protests, too.
- The blogger who inspired this whole campaign was Matt Yglesias. Here's his terrific explanation of the Fed. Here's his much shorter one. And here's his latest piece, about why Obama's failure to focus on the Fed is his single biggest economic policy mistake.

Cong Govt in AP is facing a peculiar situation as one of the minister Mopidevi Venkata Rama is languishing in jail while other five ministers are facing tensions over the 26 GOs they issued during their regime with late YSR at helm. With Dharmana Prasada Rao tendering his resignation after his name included in the CBI charge sheet and with the court even issuing summons asking him to appear in person, heat is on the remaining four ministers.
Many eye brows were raised when CM Kiran and his Govt decided to offer legal aid to the tainted ministers drawing from the money paid in form of taxes by people. Now the ministers are huddled in discussions as to how to file their counters in Supreme court over the notices they received some time back. They even met CM Kiran over the whole issue of GOs and even Vanpic case.Ministers feel that they followed the business rules and did not commit any mistake while issuing GOs. They say if they are treated in this way no one will come forward to become ministers in future. Going by their argument, the whole case on Jagan and YSR will collapse altogether.
They decided to fight it single handedly replying in person individually but after consulting with each other over the content of replies. But many political analysts are predicting dooms day for them whether unitedly or singly. It has to be seen what will be the fate of these ministers Ponnala Lakshmayya, Kanna Lakshmi Narayana, Sabita Indra Reddy and Geetha Reddy.

A: One pack is one weft, one piece, about 100g, 3.5 ounces.
Q. How many packs for a full head?
A: If you need to do a full head, it needs 2 to 3 packs, but if you need very full head, then 3 packs will be better.
Q. Why are the hairs getting tangled?
A: Because the hair is being dryness, oil & dirt build-up, salt-water, chlorine and not comb (wide tooth comb) your hair daily. Make sure to wash & condition your hair at least once a week, twice a week is better. Use hydrating drops or consult your stylist for more help.
Q. What type of hair care products should I use?
A: Treat our hairs as your own hairs. Use good quality shampoo and conditioner. Please don't use very high temperature, and put make it by chemical ink. Chemical ink means the chemical which you dye the hair or color the hair, or fix the hair texture.

Smeg's orbital wash system has a major spray arm and satellite spray arm which spins ten times for every single revolution of the major spray arm to ensure water is thoroughly distributed in-between every piece in the wash for exceptional results.
A must for families with young children, Smeg has developed an electronic system for locking the dishwasher controls. Children can press the buttons without interrupting the wash program.
Active Acquastop electronically determines when and how much water to let into the dishwasher, automatically controlling the water feed at the tap. It's a major advantage of a Smeg dishwasher, because there is no water in the hose and therefore no building water pressure, where problems most often occur. Active Acquastop is one of five distinctive water safety and flood prevention features in all Smeg dishwashers.

Former Buffy, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER star Anthony Head believes his house is haunted by the ghost of a young girl.
The British actor, 50, who played TV's most famous vampire slayer's mentor for six years, is convinced his home in Bath, England, has been touched by the supernatural - even though he has yet to see his mystery guest.
Head explains, "My house dates back to 1813. Somebody gave us a photograph of our house in the 1900s and on the lawn outside was a woman with a little girl. It's the same little girl.
"We asked the person who gave us the photo about the history of the village, but no one really knows anything about the girl.
"Yet I feel it's one of those things that if I needed to know, something would come through to me in some way.
"She doesn't talk to me, but I have heard her call out. My partner SARAH has heard her and so has our daughter DAISY. Even my father, who was quite sceptical about the whole thing, has heard her."04/11/2004 21:23

Even with Turner Field's stadium-shaking sound system and Jumbotron, the humble organ still plays a major role during games, and the man behind the keys is Matthew Kaminski.
The Atlanta Braves' organist paid us a visit and brought his instrument with him to discuss the job and to talk about his new album of stadium organ music.
You can hear Matthew Kaminski in action at Turner Field next Tuesday as the Braves take on the Kansas City Royals. And you can follow the organist on Twitter here.

I had relaxed hair, but I did the big chop and went natural. It has beend 2-3 months, and my hair is still growing out relatively straight. I don't understand this. I was under the impression that once you cut all of your relaxed hair out; you automatically get the beautiful kinks and curls. Could someone please help me??!!!
What is scab hair?
Sometimes you can change the chemical make up of the hair folicle... for example during that time when all women are going through puberty... I got my hair permed... and now 15 years later... I still have curlyish hair... so just becareful of what you put on your hair...
also once you dye your hair you will never have your "natural color" back either...
What is scab hair?
I don't know, sounds kinda gross.
What is scab hair?
HI~ how short did you go? You may still have some relaxed hair left, or, if it's like buzzed, sometimes hair has to really get some length on it before it curls up. Hair grows about 1/2 inch a month.. so an inch an 1/2 or so in about three months will barely start to loop around unless it was extremely kinky curly to begin with.
Also, if you have had it relaxed for many years, hormones can play a part in curly/straight hair. Such as puperty, or if you had a baby.. ect.
What is scab hair?
sounds like scrap hair... i don like the term

Owen: No hard feelings with Shearer
Newcastle United skipper Michael Owen has revealed he has no problem with manager Alan Shearer after being dropped by him.
The 29-year-old striker was left on the bench for the 3-0 Premier League defeat at former club Liverpool, and had little chance to make amends for his costly miss in the Magpies' 0-0 home draw with Portsmouth five days earlier when he came on as a substitute.
Owen hoped to return to the starting line-up for Monday night's must-win derby clash with Middlesbrough, and insisted there were no hard feelings.
Writing in his programme notes for Monday night's game, he said: "On a personal basis, I am glad the last fortnight is over.
"I was angry with myself for missing that chance against Portsmouth and then disappointed to be left out of the starting line-up against my former club, Liverpool.
"I have known our manager, Alan Shearer, ever since I started in the game and consider him to be a friend.
"But there was no old pal's act as far as his decision-making was concerned.
"Though I was upset and felt that he was wrong - only last week, the press pointed out that even though I had only scored eight league goals this season, my conversion ratio was the best in the Premier League - what I can't fault is the way he handled the situation: strong, up-front and honest, just the way a top manager should be."

The start of a new school year was complemented in Pine Bluff by the opening of the new Quest Middle School, an open-enrollment public charter school, at 308 S. Blake St. and the expansion of Ridgway Christian School onto the campus of the former St. Joseph Catholic School on West 73rd Avenue.
The start of a new school year was complemented in Pine Bluff by the opening of the new Quest Middle School, an open-enrollment public charter school, at 308 S. Blake St. and the expansion of Ridgway Christian School onto the campus of the former St. Joseph Catholic School on West 73rd Avenue.
Responsive Education Solutions, the Quest parent organization, received approval from the Arkansas Department of Education in 2012 to open a Pine Bluff campus serving students in the fifth through eighth grades.
Quest campus director Kasey Porchia said the school has an enrollment of 96 students and is the only Quest Middle School in Arkansas.
�Our goal was right around 100 students to start off and we are at that level,� Porchia said. �We offer our students a more hands-on approach to learning than a traditional classroom experience where the teacher stands in front of the class and reads from a textbook. We also incorporate character development into our academic program and emphasize the importance of respect and responsibility.�
Porchia said the school also emphasizes the need for parental involvement in their children�s education.
�Our instruction is technology-based and is more individualized to meet the particular needs of each student,� Porchia said. �The students have daily goals that must be met.�
Porchia said music and the arts are also part of the Quest curriculum.
�We are now in our third week of instruction and things have gone well so far,� Porchia said.
Porchia said that the school has 10 staff members and the school day is from 8 a.m. until 3:10 p.m.
�We plan to add one new grade level per year until we reach the 12th grade,� Porchia said.
Ridgway expansion
Ridgway Christian School announced June 26 that it would be expanding from its original campus on Ridgway Road to also encompass the former St. Joseph campus, where its seventh- through 12h-graders are attending classes.
�The addition of the new campus has been phenomenal for us,� RCS administrator Lenora Porter said. �It�s just been a great start. The students seem to be enjoying their own space and campus. Our younger students are also more comfortable now. Our hallways were very crowded before with the big kids stepping over the little people and the little ones afraid of the big kids.�
Porter said the added space makes the learning process more comfortable for everyone.
�We all have a little more elbow room now,� Porter said. �Our secondary enrollment has increased by just shy of 10 students over last year.�
Porter said total enrollment is 400 students, with 115 in the seventh through 12th grades and 285 in kindergarten through sixth grade.
�We�re very pleased,� Porter said. �God has been very good to us.�

A former Rancho Palos Verdes councilman, who designed the city's logo and was set to receive a proclamation from municipal officials next month, died this week.
Robert "Tom" Hollingsworth, who served on the City Council from 1995-1999, died Monday. He was 79.
Colleagues lauded Hollingsworth for shying away from political drama and focusing on his core values.
Born in Minnesota on April 5, 1933, Hollingsworth spent his childhood in Columbus, Ga., according to family.
After earning his master's degree in fine arts from the University of Georgia and serving in the Army, Hollingsworth moved to New York City, where he met his wife, Angela Mastrangelo.
In 1969, the couple moved to the Palos Verdes Peninsula. After Rancho Palos Verdes incorporated in 1973, the independent commercial designer left his mark on the city when he designed the now familiar blue-white-and-green city logo.
During his one term on the City Council, Hollingsworth served a one-year rotation as mayor in 1998.
"He was known in the community for having walked door to door on the campaign trail, and he refused campaign donations," said Councilwoman Susan Brooks, who left her first stint on the council as Hollingsworth came on. "It worked! We are a better community because of Tom."
Marilyn Lyon, the program manager for the South Bay Environmental Services Center, served with Hollingsworth during his term.
"I didn't know him too well socially, but I had a lot of respect for him on council," she said.
Hollingsworth respected the residents he served, studied the issues and proved his integrity. "He was a man who did what he said he was going to do," she said.
Hollingsworth served only one term.
"He always said, 'Serve one term ... then let someone else serve,"' Lyon said.
Mayor Anthony Misetich met Hollingsworth during his own run for council in 2009.
"He was very well-liked," he said. "He was an inspiration to many people in the way he conducted himself. He was a gentleman."
Hollingsworth was married for 48 years before his wife died in 2010. During their marriage, they traveled extensively, often visiting family in Minnesota, Georgia and New York. He is survived by a sister, Carole Hollingsworth.
No information regarding a memorial service has been released.
City officials still plan to honor Hollingsworth with a proclamation on Oct. 2.

Tracy Prepares to Launch Business Network Chester
New Networking Concept Will Support Entrepreneurs
A big responsibility for anybody – but far from daunting for this remarkable woman whose career blossomed almost from the moment she was awarded her textile technology degree from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology.
Naturally this talented young Nottingham-born woman went into textiles and before long she found herself in a senior management role. Then she had the opportunity to show what she was capable of with industry giant Speedo and subsequently found herself head-hunted by the world-famous Adidas.
"I enjoyed eight successful years with Adidas in senior positions spanning customer service, business development and leading change programmes including the integration of the recently acquired Reebok operation," recalled Tracy.
"It was a challenging but rewarding time that increasingly involved a great deal of travel across Europe and the USA"
However, Tracy was also a young mother who wanted to spend more time with her family, husband Nick and daughters Elizabeth, now six and Annalisa,(4)
"I took the life-changing decision to work for myself and set up Elianna my leadership coaching consultancy in which I used the skills I had learned over years in the corporate world," she said. "I quickly picked up clients and things were going very well.
"However, I found myself alone and, for the first time in my professional life, not part of a team. By nature I was a team member and a team-driver. I needed someone to connect to and to communicate with."
Tracy decided the best way to find that support would be to network with like-minded business people and living in Hazel Grove near Stockport decided to join not just one but two Business Networks, Manchester and South Manchester, groups that had generated tens of millions of pounds worth of business for members over the years.
"I immediately felt at home," said Tracy. "I was welcomed by the members and found myself with like-minded people who were totally supportive and encouraging. As time went on I found suppliers and advisors among the membership and, of course, I also found new clients.
"It was refreshing to learn that the Business Network's ethos is all about attracting high quality members for the long term. That way, members get to know and trust each other and are there to offer each other help and assistance when required.
"It's not just about generating new business."
"The whole concept was appealing. I could see why this group of entrepreneurs had made such an impact on the local business community. In fact I liked it so much I took the decision to buy into it."
Tracy told Business Network England Director Helen Bennett that she wanted to bring the concept to Chester and won her full support.
"Chester is a city I have always loved and when I researched potential locations for a new Business Network, I saw that although the city had lots of networking groups, it did not having anything quite like the Business Network. I'm convinced the concept will succeed in Chester, partly because many of my trusted business contacts already live or operate from the city."
Doors open to Chester's first Business Network meeting at 11.45 am on Wednesday June 30th. Visitors will be able to enjoy an open networking session, after registration, before sitting down to a two course lunch. The meeting is due to finish by 2.30pm.
Visitors can also register for a free morning seminar by Britain's leading networking guru Will Kintish, who will guide them through the basics of successful networking.
To register for a place at the inaugural meeting call Tracy on: 01244 220060 or email Tracy at: tracy@business-

In a non-surprising move, the Dolphins continued to make changes to their staff by firing Head Trainer Kevin O'Neill. O'Neill was fired for not cooperating and not being forthcoming during the Ted Wells interview. It has been said that O'Neill showed "hostility" toward the line of questionning by Ted Wells back in November regarding Jonathan Martin treatment from other players on the Dolphins football team. Chris Mortensen was the first to break the story via ESPN.
In addition, it was Mr. O'Neill who was aware of the racial epithets hurled toward his intern of Japanese descent.
O'Neill served with Jimmy Johnson in Dallas and then went to Miami after then head coach Don Shula retired in 1996.
All in all, the Dolphins continue to make headlines this season and the worse is yet to come with the NFL poised to announce suspensions of OL coach Jim Turner, Center Mike Pouncey, and John Jerry (a free agent).
It remains to be seen if the Dolphins were actually looking to suspend O'Neill since he was said to have traveled with the team to Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine. O'Neill was fired in Indianapolis, which seems cruel, but in reality, the combine functions as a job fair of sorts.
As expected, offensive line coach Jim Turner was also let go from the team. There were several allegations against Turner including the harassment of other players, in addition to Martin, as well as encouraging the culture that led to this investigation. Although Turner denied having knowledge about what was occuring, the report stated other wise. During the interview process, Turner also insisted that he couldn't remember any of the events that took place.
Recently hired assistant offensive line coach John Benton will take over Turner's role. Benton is almost certain to be an upgrade compared to the 58 sacks that the unit allowed under Turner.
Surely, there are fans and pundits that do not agree with the Dolphins embarrassing way of making headlines or protocol and timing of transactions, but in this day and age, the firing of a trainer for partaking in Incognito's antics, seems to have hidden meaning. The Dolphins now will be looking for a new trainer to fill the vacant position.
For the Dolphins, expect everything to get worse before it gets better and the month of September can't come soon enough when fans can actually focus on games and not the Ted Wells report.
Daniel Monardo also contributed to this report.

Durban - Four fearless gangs of robbers – two of them extremely violent – are unleashing terror in quiet, upmarket western suburbs of Durban at a rate of four attacks a week.
Since Sunday three incidents have already been reported: two separate Hillcrest families were tied up, blindfolded and tormented by their attackers. Another resident was attacked by hijackers. And, a week ago, a Hillcrest Park businessman was repeatedly stabbed in his front yard.
His wife went into premature labour shortly after the robbery.
The chairman of the Hillcrest Neighbourhood Watch, Shaun Lyle, said it was suspected that four gangs were operating in the Upper Highway area of Hillcrest, Kloof, Westville, Waterfall, Gillitts, West Riding and Assagay.
Since January almost four houses a week had been hit by the gangs, he said, and the Finger Gang and the Whoonga Gang were the most violent and dangerous, while the Panga Gang and Gate Crashers were also notorious.
The gangs have been named according to the ways they operate.
"The Finger Gang use a hammer to break their victims' fingers to remove rings. The Whoonga Gang are drug addicts. These gangs are fearless. They risk their own lives most times," Lyle said. The gangs were becoming increasingly violent and appeared to be organised crime syndicates, he said.
"They are evading hi-tech security systems, neighbourhood and police patrols and entering specifically targeted properties. Since January, serious crime has been going off the charts in the Upper Highway area."
He said women also appeared to be soft targets.
"Last week, two Hillcrest women – one going for a jog and the other walking to work – were attacked. Their screams and quick action from the community deterred their attackers."
A police source said the Hillcrest area was under siege.
"The gangs are very violent. They steal laptops, cellphones, cameras and jewellery – stuff they can dispose of."
He said CCTV footage had been obtained from some of the robberies and several of the suspects belonging to the different gangs had been identified.
Their arrests were imminent, he said.
On Monday, two suspects entered the home of a Hillcrest Park woman, around 4.15am.
Lyle said the woman was tied up and blindfolded while the robbers ransacked her house. Her vehicle, which was also taken, was recovered a few hours later in Clermont.
The same afternoon, an Impala Street resident was hijacked.
On Sunday, an elderly Hillcrest couple were bound, gagged, blindfolded and terrorised for almost two hours. Lyle said the suspects verbally abused them and threatened to kill them. The suspects ransacked the house before making off in the couple's car.
In both robberies, the intruders had handkerchiefs tied around their noses and mouths.
KZN police did not formally respond to queries about the spate of house robberies in the Hillcrest area.
But, commenting on the Whoonga Gang, police spokesman, Colonel Vincent Mdunge, said criminals were known to indulge in drugs before crime sprees.
"I cannot confirm this was the case in the Hillcrest robberies. But the reality is that criminals do use drugs," he said. "It makes them feel brave and also prevents them from pitying their victims."
Mdunge said criminals under the influence of drugs believed they could survive any situation.
"Even if they are hurt, they do not feel pain."

I-Team Consumer Alert: Tech support scam
A tech support scam is targeting phone numbers in Rhode Island, the NBC 10 I-Team has learned.
It happened to Steffanie Windus. When her phone rang a few days ago, it was a caller claiming to be from Microsoft tech support. After 35 years running computer systems at the University of Rhode Island, Windus knew right away the call was bogus. But the same man called three more times.
So she called the I-Team, worried other consumers could be at risk.
"Then I decided to go further and call Channel 10 and get it out there so that other people will understand that this is a scam, and they shouldn't fall for it," Windus said. "They should hang up and not do this."
The caller told Windus her computer was sending out suspicious signals on the Internet, even though her machine was turned off at the time. Then, the caller tried to convince her to download software that would give him control of her computer, even getting his manager on the phone.
Windus was familiar with the software from her work at URI, and knew downloading it would be a bad idea.
"I wasn't about to let them use it, because who knows what they would do to my computer?" she said.
In a strange twist, I-Team reporter Katie Davis got the same bogus call on her cell phone last week. The caller threatened that she could lose all her data as well as internet access.
Davis told the caller she was a reporter with NBC 10, but he refused to back down. He repeatedly threatened that hackers would steal information from her computer until she eventually hung up.
Other NBC 10 viewers emailed the I-Team about the same scam, concerned after they received aggressive phone calls over and over.
"My 90-year-old father received six phone calls from a very dramatic man," Terry wrote in an email. "He identified himself as an agent from Microsoft."
"A man who claimed he was from Microsoft ... called me six times in a row yesterday," said Robin in a similar email.
Windus later called Microsoft to report the scam.
"If you have a problem with your computer there are better places to go to get it fixed," she said.
A company rep told NBC 10 that Microsoft is well aware of the scam phone calls, because "cyber criminals often use the names of well-known companies like Microsoft to convince people their services are legitimate."
Microsoft also said it doesn't make unsolicited tech support calls to consumers, and will only call you if you've contacted its tech support department first.

Trying to get a good splash of water I had my son take his jeep several times through this huge puddle to get the shot I wanted. I have brought up the contrast of the muddy water spraying up to highlight it. I also had to really tone down the jeep lights (unfortunately we couldn't turn them off).
I always knew the image would be black and white even before I shot it.
It was a lot of fun to do this shoot.

Alex Atwill is a shining example to us all.
The nine-year-old selflessly asked his friends to forgo giving him birthday presents at his recent party.
Instead, having heard about all the little boys and girls in Thunder?Bay who lost everything in the May 28 flood, the youngster asked his friends to bring him money.
Alex knew by giving that money to the Disaster Relief Committee's fundraising efforts, through two-for-one matching by the province, the $200 he got would turn into $600.
In the whole scheme of things, it's a drop in the bucket.
The city is trying to raise $5 million before year's end, to meet the demands of residents afflicted by the flood and subsequent sewage back up.
Given that the United Way asked for – and barely reached – $2.5 million last year, a charity Thunder Bay residents are used to donating to each year, it's a tall order.
But, as young Alex showed, it's something everyone can lend a helping hand to, if only they try.
No donation is too big or too small, says campaign co-chairwoman Lynn Peterson.
At last count, the fund stood at $804,000. That's a long way from $5 million.
A long way. If you can find a way to help, please do. It's your friends and neighbours who need the help.

I've enjoyed the fantasy novels by Glen Cook about a p.i. named Garrett, so Dragon Precinct seemed like it might be fun. It's more or less an attempt to come up with the fantasy novel equivalent of an 87th Precinct novel. Too bad it didn't work very well.
My problems with the book included characters that I didn't find very interesting, threads that didn't really develop, and an ending that comes from way out in left field (it's a variation on what Roger Ebert calls the "idiot plot," and it relies on someone's not giving essential information at the beginning of the investigation, information that would have rendered the rest of the book unnecessary).
What did I like? Well, the book concentrates on the procedural details instead of the magic angle, and the world-building isn't bad. All in all, though, the book wasn't strong enough to make me want to read another one in the series, assuming that one was ever published. DeCandido has written a ton of media tie-ins (Buffy, Star Trek, Farscape, Serenity, etc.), and this seems to have been an attempt to establish his own territory. Maybe it would work better for you than it did for me.

WASHINGTON (Jun. 18)
Solomon Michoels, president of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee in Russia,and Itzik Feffer, Jewish poet and member of the same committee, who arrived in the United States this week as a delegation representing the Jews of Russia, today issued a joint statement emphasizing that the purpose of their visit is "to unite the efforts of the Jews of all countries in the sacred struggle" for the complete destruction of Hitlerism. The delegation will leave Washington on Monday for New York.
"We bring with us greetings to their American brothers from the Jews of the Soviet Union who shoulder to shoulder with other peoples of the U.S.S.R. are waging a fierce fight against the most cruel enemy of all mankind, against the oppressor and exterminator of peoples and murderer of the Jewish people, against Fascism,"their statement said. "Our aim is to achieve without sparing any efforts the complete destruction of Hitlerism in all its forms and manifestations.
"We believe that we shall succeed in helping to unite efforts of the Jews of all countries in this sacred struggle. The unity of these efforts is the imperative demand of the day, a matter of life and future not only for our own people but of all freedom loving peoples. The peoples of the Soviet Union permeated by the spirit of this struggle wish to achieve, hand in hand with the peoples of the United States, Great Britain and all the peoples of the United Nations, a decisive victory in the shortest possible time. This struggle demands courage, heroism and self-sacrifice. These qualities are necessary not only for those at the front but for all of us in our every-day life, no matter how far away from the front we may be.
"The blood of our brothers and sisters who have been mutilated, tortured, hanged and shot by Hitlerite hangmen calls for revenge, for decisive actions, for the mobilization of all the people's forces, for the subordination of all interests to one aim – struggle and victory. To consolidate the efforts of the people in the struggle against Fascism, to increase and multiply the ranks of the fighters against Fascism-those are the tasks confronting us."
The delegation came to the United States on the invitations of the Jewish Council for Russian War Relief and the Committee of Jewish Writers and Artists.

Is the "Rawkdown" really beneficial for the WWE?
by, 09-03-2011 at 10:13 AM (3740 Views)
Now, I'm going to play devil's advocate (well, sort of devil's advocate) for keeping the Split-Brand concept. It seems that one of the main reasons for combining the two shows, which I collectively call the "Rawkdown" is to get better ratings for Smackdown. Now the fact is the hottest draws will always be on Raw and they will always be on Raw because that's the WWE's bread and butter. The hot draws that are thrown to Smackdown are there for the reason is to help the shows ratings, but in turn, it's to free up space on the Raw Roster to continue hyping the main wrestler Vince wants to center his company around. That is perfectly understandable. If Raw ratings go down, then the business will go down. Because of this, Smackdown will always be the inferior show.
Now if combining the shows is due to ratings, we must take the other factors into account which is why they are low. First of all, Smackdown is on the Sy-Fy channel. Over all, the Sy-Fy channel does not have the same ratings as the USA channel. So, comparing the RAW ratings versus the Smackdown ratings isn't really fair because they both are aired on two different channels.
Secondly, RAW on Monday night on the USA channel is so ingrained in the WWE fans psyche that people tune in as a force of habit. I don't think I will ever forget that on Monday Nights on the USA Channel at 9pm, I can watch RAW. Smackdown on the other hand is different. It has traveled from Thursday nights on UPN to Friday nights on UPN to Friday on the CW to Friday on My Network TV then finally to Friday on Sy-Fy. Plus, ratings across the board tend to be lower on Friday nights, because many people choose to go out on Fridays than stay at home. Does this mean that Smackdown can never get the same ratings as Raw? I will say that nothing is impossible, but both shows are on different playing fields.
My problem of combining the two shows (creating Rawkdown Part 1 and Rawkdown Part 2) is that it's like you're selling me the same beer in two different bottles. As a fan, I like the variety of watching different wrestlers, which is what the split brand gives me. By combining the two shows, I can already guess that I'm going to be watching the same set of wrestlers spreading their one or two storylines from one show to the next show. I'm probably shortsighted on this, but I can't see this getting better and better. There has to be a long term strategy in order for this to really work, but only time will tell as to what the WWE has in store.
Many of you guys have great ideas on what the WWE should do now that the brands are not officially split anymore. For me, I believe that instead of combining the brands, they need to go the other way and even more divide the brands. Kevin Nash said in an interview in describing the difference between WCW and WWE is that WCW was a multi-media company that does wrestling, while the WWE was a wrestling company that does wrestling. This statement is so true because if many of you can recall, WCW was one of many companies owned by Ted Turner. He bought the company not because he wanted to rule over the wrestling world, but to rule over the cable networks. WCW was one of the companies he purchased in reaching that goal. Now if rumors are to be true about the WWE Corporation (and not the WWE wrestling show), they too are striving to become a multi-media company with their own cable channel. You can't have a cable channel centered around one wrestling show. Now, if they created a form of a "minor league" wrestling promotion with their own belts and exclusive roster, then you will have two shows to air on the channel. Then create NXT 2.0 (see my previous blog) as another promotion, then you'll have 3 wrestling shows for the channel.
Now, you might think that that's what WWE has been trying to do with the split-brand. True, but what I'm proposing is that each show have their own Executive Vice President (second to only Vince McMahon) with creative control of their respective shows. A show ran by Vince is different from a show ran by Bischoff, which is different from a show ran by Cornette, which is different from a show ran by Heyman. If Bischoff, Cornette, and Heyman all had a show with the same budget and cable network airtime, each show will definitely be distinct from each other. That distinction is the variety that the wrestling fans are looking for. Some will like one more than the other, but the ultimate winner would be the WWE (Corporation) who will essentially own all the shows.
We all can pretty much tell that this scenario has a 99.99% of not coming about because it's hard to see Vince giving anyone total control over any wrestling product he owns. Vince had the opportunity to achieve this scenario when he purchased WCW and ECW, but as many of us have witnessed, those two shows (well, ECW was the only company that had their own show under the WWE) were watered down into WWE style. Instead of keeping it's distinction, it returned the "same beer in two different bottles" analogy.
I have great admiration for Vince McMahon for all he has accomplished in the world of wrestling. Those who grew up in the 80's that are still wrestling fans today, has seen the evolution of the WWE. The question is, where does the WWE go from here? I don't have the answer, but neither do I think that the solution is doing away with the split-brand concept. Instead of combining the two brands, create a new promotion out of one of the brands with a separate identity. Theoretically, it all sounds pretty good.
Leave your comments below. I'm looking forward to hearing your reaction.

I had separation and infection of the incisions and also a hematoma in the right breast. I now have tissue retraction bilaterally. The right side is less obvious and is at the incision which leads me to think it would be from scarring. However, I still have a great amount of pain on the right side. The retraction on the left side is more extensive. It is also more medial and away from the incision. Should I be concerned or is this a common side affect after surgery?

Breast Reduction Results?
Thank you for the question in pictures.
Although it is difficult to evaluate the close-up pictures accurately, it is clear that you are over the "worst of things" and the remainder of your recovery should be smoother. Unfortunately without direct examination is not possible to diagnose the specific cause of pain you are experiencing.
I would suggest that you allow for several months to pass before evaluating the end results of surgery. You may find that 6 months to one year after surgery, you will be pleased with the results of surgery. If not, revisionary surgery may be helpful.
In the meantime, continue to follow-up with your plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

Early scar contracture following a breast reduction
It appears that most of your problem is with a shortening of the vertical scar as this scar matures it contracts thus causing the indentations. Continue to massage the area and it may just be fine.
Problems after breast reduction
Sorry your course wasn't as smooth as would be ideal. It does look like you are healed now and what you are seeing may well resolve with time and massage. Sometimes, internal scar tissues are worse from infection and hematomas so work closely with your surgeon over the next 6 months and see how it all goes.

It's simple, and free.
Therefore, it will be difficult to implement them on a widespread basis without various incentives.
Nonetheless, based on the discussion of the positive outcomes, it is also clear that the team building is an essential concept for school principals. Considering the complexity and the diversity of their tasks, principals should not try to take on the running of the schools on their own. Rather, they should enlist the aid of the teachers, parents, the community and the school district office. The successful collaborations between the dhfferent stakeholders will require team building. In spite of the difficulties, the examples provided by the authors in the three publications demonstrate that these strategies can be implemented in the school setting.
With regard to stress management, articles from the three different resources offered disparate perspectives. In their article published in Leadership, Bloom, Castagna and Warren (2003) proposed the hiring of experts to offer leadership coaching to principals, as a means of helping principals to deal with the stressors of the workplace. Because they are specialized in leadership training, these experts are well-versed with different strategies to help principals cope with their leadership demands efficiently and effectively, thus lessening the level of their stress. On the negative side, the hiring of experts for one-on-one sessions with principals can be extremely expensive for the school districts that are already affected by funding.
Utilizing a slightly different approach to address the issue of stress management in her article published in Educational Leadership, Cherniss (1998) identified the qualities of emotional intelligence in school principals, which enable them to manage the stress effectively. Supporting her discussion with profiles of school principals who manage stress effectively, Cherniss (1998) explained how principals who are open to dealing with chal...

Outdoors notebook: U.S. boaters' impact: $121 billion in 2012
Recreational boating in 2012 had an economic value of $121 billion, according to the annual U.S. Recreational Boating Statistical Abstract, compiled by the National Marine Manufacturers Association.
For the first time, those boating numbers can be broken down by congressional districts. The Dallas-Fort Worth area has 179,033 recreational boats that generate a total annual economic impact of $1.9 billion, supporting 14,853 jobs.
July 18-21, the DFW Boat Expo will display more than 450 watercraft at Market
Hall. Promoters call it the largest event of its kind staged at the venue.
Twenty North Texas boat dealers and nearly 100 vendors are scheduled to take
part. Details are at dallasboat
Some dove hunters to receive national survey
The National Dove Hunter Survey has been mailed to randomly selected dove hunters across the U.S. Survey questions attempt to determine hunter characteristics, time spent hunting, perceived constraints to hunting and hunters' thoughts about the potential effects of spent lead from ammunition on mourning doves and other wildlife.
In a good year, Texas' 250,000 hunters bag about 5 million birds, firing a minimum of 35 million shots. The average dove load holds about an ounce of lead pellets. Texas has nearly 25 percent of the nation's 1 million dove hunters.
The National Dove Hunter Survey will be compiled by the end of 2013.
Changes in the works for hunter education
On May 23, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department announced plans to streamline the state's highly successful hunter education program. Nancy Herron, TPWD Outreach and Education director, wrote in a June 17 email response that the proposed changes had just been sent to the Texas Register.
"We anticipate that the official comment period will open around June 28 and continue for 30 days," Herron said.
From 1966 through 1987, Texas averaged 78.4 hunting accidents and 19.3 hunting-related deaths each season. Since the current hunter education system began in 1988, the average number of accidents is 43.3 with fatalities reduced to 5.6 per season.
Streamlining details have not been made public, but proposals call for cutting class time in half and lowering the passing grade for students who take the course online.
Tyler man charged with smuggling snakes
Snakes on a plane? A Tyler eco-tourism guide pleaded guilty to smuggling live snakes from Peru to Texas in August 2012. Authorities say he smuggled, concealed in his jacket, seven snakes that he bought at a market in Lima, Peru. He flew from Lima to Miami, then on to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The TSA would not allow him to board, with the snakes, a commuter flight from Dallas to Tyler.
Fireworks forbidden in forests, grasslands
The U.S. Forest Service is reminding the public that fireworks are prohibited in the nearly 700,000 acres incorporating the National Forests and Grasslands in Texas. Forest supervisor Mark Van Every said fireworks can create a potentially dangerous fire situation.
"For the safety of the public and our forests and grasslands, we urge people to attend public fireworks displays and to keep in mind that fireworks are not allowed in the Angelina, Sam Houston, Davy Crockett or Sabine National Forests, or the Caddo and LBJ National Grasslands," Van Every said.

Hi all, When I run multiple TPC-H queries (DBT3) on postgresql, I found the system is not scalable. My machine has 8GB memory, and 4 Xeon Dual Core processor ( 8 cores in total). OS kernel is linux 2.6.9. Postgresql is 7.3.18. I run multiple q2 queries simultaneously. The results are: 1 process takes 0.65 second to finish. 2 processes take 1.07 seconds. 4 processes take 4.93 seconds. 8 processes take 16.95 seconds. For 4-process case and 8-process case, queries takes even more time than they are executed serially one after another. Because the system has 8GB memory, which is much bigger than the DB size(SF=1), and I warmed the cache before I run the test, I do not think the problem was caused by disk I/O. I think it might be caused by some contentions. But I do not know postgresql much. May anybody give me some clue to find the reasons? Thanks! Xiaoning

Shauna, our meeting is so short, I have no idea what any of them were really like. :[
I am a dog person, I will hug anyone who needs it, I think tea and coffee are equally marvelous and if I have a randomly occurring thought or idea, I'll share it with anyone polite enough to listen (even if they're confused). Most people who know meseem to agree I would fit in and be happy in places like Wales or Canada. I don't know exactly what that means. You can make your own assumptions.
Does that all sound Shauna-like?

Fey! That description is positively scary! I can't speak for the last sentence (not being a parent yet), but the rest of it sounds like something I would write if I were trying to describe myself to someone (although I might be a bit more self-deprecating.) The emotionalness, the accidental adventures, prioritizing my dreams over perfect financial security, the emphasis on loyalty, the complicated relationships...Spooky! Especially when contrasted with my birth name, the only points of which I indentify with are in bold:
It's completely trippy to me that the description of my chosen name is basically spot-on, where my birth name profile contains such big inaccuracies. It makes me wonder if I chose the name because it resonated with how I already felt about myself, or if choosing the name and going by it every day somehow steered me in the direction of these character traits? Fascinating thoughts to ponder. Thanks for looking me up!Zion Nathaniel ~ Solomon Fable ~ Balthazar Wolf ~ Malachi Sparrow nn Kai ~ Tobias Rowan ~ Caspian _____

Walking is very underrated. The times when I have been in the best shape is usually in the summer when I am out and about, walking around all day. Obviously due to time constraints, you can't really do that all the time.
About 5 years ago I dropped about 15 pounds (I'm 5"11, 185 pounds atm I was about 5"10, 175 then) after College I used to go to my garden, skip for 10 minutes, run quick sprints in my garden for another 5 minutes, stop and get my breathe back, then carry on for another 5, and again for another 5. I also had this footmaster kind of cardio machine which I used for about another 10 minutes on top of that. I did this with 3 jackets on and I lost 15 pounds very quickly and I looked much better and felt GREAT. The funny thing was, my diet was the same pretty ****ty, it was before I knew anything about PROPER nutrition and proper gym routines.
Now I have grown a bit, filled out a bit more and put on some more muscle and dropped some of the fat I had then. My goal atm is to pack on some muscle without losing too much fat, just doing it slowly but regularly. It worked for me before around 3 years ago where I put on a good amount of muscle pretty quickly and lost some fat but I feel fitter now in terms of lifting my own body weight and true functional strength, even though I could a little more back then. Though I am 100 pcent sure I can beat that if it was my goal. My routine atm is:
When I enter the gym I stretch, do a very light round on the bag..i stress very light just to get my body temp up a bit and to loosen up. I then jump on the cross trainer for 5 minutes at a slow to moderate pace. Then I do 3 sets of dips or pullups depending on what I am doing OR both really depends on how I feel. I make sure I do 50 rows on the row machine before this. Altogether I do 250 rows per session and because of that my forearms have gone MUCH bigger, pretty quickly too. I don't train till failure per set, purely so I can do more sets overall. I noticed if I train till failure per set overall I do A LOT less in the gym. Drink plenty of water as well during the day, drink enough to keep you hydrated during the workout not TOO much.
Just do pressups, pull ups, rows, cardio on any machine...the cross trainer works well for me if I put it on a incline with resistance plus it isn't harsh on your joints like the treadmill and works you out more than the bike. Skip if you can and do some rounds on the punching bag. It really depends on your body type so it's pretty general. I don't only do this by the way because I lose fat pretty quickly and look too skinny and weak...I do a bit of weightlifting a lot with it to keep some good shape and size on me.
Eat proper foods with good nutritional value, drink plenty of water, take some supplements like cod liver oil/omega fats, zinc etc, and don't over train because you will harm yourself and your motivation will be depleted eventually.

Local companies should search for innovative talent
The China Post news staff Friday, May 30, 2014, 12:09 am TWN
The Cabinet's Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics recently adjusted its forecast for Taiwan's GDP growth for this year to 2.98 percent, and estimated that domestic demand will contribute 2.47 percent to growth while foreign demand will contribute the remaining 0.51 percent.
When speaking to the press, National Development Council Deputy Minister Chen Chien-liang (陳建良) insisted that foreign demand will remain the main driver of Taiwan's economic growth. Indeed, Taiwan has always been a country that relies heavily upon exports. Chen said that domestic demand is unlikely to provide enough momentum for economic growth.
It is a statement that does not stray from the truth. Taiwan has a small population of 23 million. The market is relatively small compared with most other nations. In order to win approval from overseas customers, there is plenty of work to be done.
During a recent forum held by the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research to discuss Asia's economic outlook in 2014, Vice President Wu Den-yih (吳敦義) said in his opening remarks that structural changes need to be made in Taiwan's industries. He stressed the importance of cultivating innovation and research capability to make more "Made in Taiwan" products.
Many Taiwanese companies have set up manufacturing facilities overseas to take advantage of other countries' lower labor costs. By moving overseas, they have also scrapped job opportunities in Taiwan. This business model is detrimental to Taiwan's economy.
Some may argue that it makes business sense to move production to wherever costs are lower. This practice certainly benefits enterprises operating overseas. However, it might not last forever and someday the costs might outweigh the benefits.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Meijer announced that it will double match every customer's $10 Simply Give donation made Nov. 9 to 10 to help boost support for local food pantries before the holidays. The Double Match Days initiative is being launched as part of the retailer's Taste of the Holidays in-store sampling event as a way to thank customers for their continued commitment to help fight hunger in the Midwest.
"As hunger continues to grow in all of our communities, our customers never cease to amaze us with their generosity," co-chairman Hank Meijer said. "Not only does this initiative share food with our customers while they help us feed our hungry neighbors, but it stretches their Simply Give donations even further. This is our way of showing customers how much we appreciate their support."
Each Simply Give campaign aims to replenish the shelves of nearly 200 food pantries in the retailer's five-state region by encouraging customers to purchase $10 Meijer Food Pantry Donation Cards. The donation cards are then converted into Meijer gift cards and given to the food pantry selected by the store. The Simply Give program runs three times a year for about ten weeks.
Simply Give Double Match Days will stretch those donations even further: For every $10 donation card purchase, Meijer will give $20 to the program, resulting in a total $30 donation.
While the Holiday Simply Give campaign runs through Jan. 5, Meijer will provide partnering food pantries with a mid-campaign donation in December so hungry families can have the food they need before the holidays.
