Police: Homeowner holds burglars at bay with handgun
2 men charged in burglaries at churches, homes in Indiana County
Police said a homeowner held two burglars at bay with a handgun and later helped investigators charge the men in several burglaries at churches and homes in Indiana County.
According to state police, two men tried to enter a home on Church Street in Armagh Borough when they were confronted by the homeowner, who was armed with a legally owned handgun.
Police said the homeowner was able to briefly detain and later identify the men -- Nathan Yanity, 22, and Gregory McAdoo, 31, both of Seward -- through photographs.
During questioning, one of the men confessed to burglarizing several homes and churches in the Armagh area, police said.
The burglaries took place between Nov. 15 and Nov. 30, police said.
Both men are being held in the Indiana County Jail.

The First Carnival of Radical Feminists is a ridiculously difficult act to follow, because Heart did such a fantastic job with it. It is a great resource, and I hope this one will be at least somewhat useful as well. My approach has been to separate the material by broad (yes, bad pun) subject designations, which I have done imperfectly in places, due to overlapping issues. Also I can't really do some of the linked posts justice by describing them, so in many cases all you have to work with is post titles. I hope you will not be put off by a lack of enthusiastic adverbs or exclamation points, and check them out. You won't agree with everything you see at these links, but I think you will learn things and be made to think.
As both a lawyer and an academic, I love a good argument. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, the blogosphere is not a particularly productive place to have one. Joseph Kugelmass of The Kugelmass Episodes has a post called "On Pitilessness" that does a nice job of articulating the problematic nature of flame wars. Here is an excerpt:
The cost of a flame war is not something we know, for the following reason: the tendency of flame wars to produce a lot of links back and forth, and a lot of enthusiastic comments, makes them look terrific. However, we have no idea how many people decide they will never write a comment, or decide not to start a blog, or decide not to weigh in on their own blogs on a given subject. If that decision is based on trouble refuting well-made counter-arguments, so be it. But if it's based on verbal abuse? Where is our triumph then?
Angry Black Bitch noted in a recent post entitled "Weekend Review":
… the internets lost their motherfucking mind last week, thus this bitch had to do a little technical correction (wink).
As a matter of fact everything lost its motherfucking mind Friday so this bitch had to shake the dust off of the merciless rod of correction and re-establish my authority!
Lawd, why can't people just act right?
Blink. …
Finally, Twisty Faster wrote recently about the difficulties of moderating blog comments in "Define this" at I Blame The Patriarchy.
Several bloggers have written posts about Malalai Joya: For example, see Heart's posts here, here, here and here. More information from Sonali Kolhatkar at WIMN's Voices.
At BlogHer, Carmen Van Kerckhove makes some interesting observations about the way the mainstream media discusses race in its coverage of Barack Obama's presidential bid in her post "Michelle Obama, feminism and the strong black woman".
Maia at Touchingly Naive blogged about pre-pubescent virgin worship in Nepal in Royal Kumari: The Living Goddess.
Women's Health:
Watch a video entitled "Happy Weekend?" by Liz Spikol at The Trouble With Spikol, to hear Liz talk about mental illness.
Read "Bones To Pick, and Preserve" at Our Bodies, Our Blog, which notes:
In a recent commentary at Women's eNews, Judy Norsigian and Heather Stephenson of Our Bodies Ourselves caution women about buying into the hype surrounding a new, once-a-year, injectable medication for osteoporosis.
While it might be a worthwhile option for women of a certain age or women with certain risk factors, most women should think long and hard before rushing out to get the bone density screenings needed to determine if you might benefit from the drug.
Although the drug companies don't really want you to hear it, medications for postmenopausal osteoporosis have many potentially serious side effects, which Norsigian and Stephenson outline in detail.
Read Richard Leader's essay at Adonis Mirror entitled "The Left, HPV and Cancer." It is very thought-provoking. He writes:
… Where was the male Left, when it came to cervixes, a decade ago? Where were we on HPV and cervical cancer before there was a"cure?"
That answer can, ironically, be found in Merck's own commercials for Gardasil. They feature one nubile woman after another proclaiming that she had only just heard about HPV, how it can cause cancer, and how absolutely terrified she was for that one brief second before the pharmaceutical industry heroically came to her rescue.
This terror is new. …
… Inflicting cervical cancer upon someone was never a consideration of men. HPV strains that did not burden a male with unsightly warts were deemed not worth testing for by the medical establishment; out of sight, out of mind. There were no marches. Penises were never called"the original cancer sticks."No man ever curtailed his sexual behavior on account of it, admitting that even condoms not might prevent its transmission.
And yet that same generation of Leftist men, cure in hand, now accuses religious fundamentalists of murderous indifference.
It is only now that women can be saved:and pockets can be lined:that women are allowed to fear HPV and the very worst of its effects. Indeed, they are even encouraged to fear it. Before, it was merely part of heterosexual life for women, an uncommon yet ordinary consequence of all we ordained as"natural." Bad luck, or the Will of God, cancer was seen as outside the domain of male control. …
Note that the ACLU released a report entitled "Religious Refusals and Reproductive Rights: Accessing Birth Control at the Pharmacy."
Read La Doctorita's post, "sins and virtues in medical education, part 1: pathologizing" at Unconventional Beauty and be glad she is joining the medical profession.
Read "Feminist Mama Files: A Vegan Mama" at The Red Thread for thoughts about veganism.
Read "not very exciting but perhaps useful" at One Jewish Dyke, because it is indeed useful information.
Priscilla Huang authored a thoughtful post, Family Values: Made In America?" at The RH blog.
"Books you're likely to be hearing from soon" by Amy at Feminist Reprise offers useful book recommendations and commentary.
A linkeriffic twofer is provided by Ms. Jared at Sinister Girl: What I'm Reading… and What I'm Thinking…
It's quite a bit longer than a blog post, but some of you may be interested in Leti Volpp's article, "Divesting Citizenship: On Asian American History and the Loss of Citizenship Through Marriage."

Feminist Theory:
Great thought-provoking links include:

I also want to again plug the very useful Topics in Feminism section of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
Internet Harassment:
At Den of the Biting Beaver, read "a bit of an explanation" to learn why Biting Beaver stopped blogging.
Read this WaPo article to learn about what happened to 18 year old Allison Stokke. Here is an excerpt:
A fan on a Cal football message board posted a picture of the attractive, athletic pole vaulter. A popular sports blogger in New York found the picture and posted it on his site. Dozens of other bloggers picked up the same image and spread it. Within days, hundreds of thousands of Internet users had searched for Stokke's picture and leered.
The wave of attention has steamrolled Stokke and her family in Newport Beach, Calif. She is recognized — and stared at — in coffee shops. She locks her doors and tries not to leave the house alone. Her father, Allan Stokke, comes home from his job as a lawyer and searches the Internet. He reads message boards and tries to pick out potential stalkers.
"We're keeping a watchful eye," Allan Stokke said. "We have to be smart and deal with it the best we can. It's not something that you can just make go away."
On May 8, blogger Matt Ufford received Stokke's picture in an e-mail from one of his readers, and he reacted to Stokke's image on instinct. She was hot. She was 18. Readers of Ufford's WithLeather.com — a sports blog heavy on comedy, opinion and sometimes sex — would love her. …
(NB: Twisty blogged about the situation here at I Blame the Patriarchy)
Update: While it does not diminish Allison Stokke's suffering in any way, this information about her father Allan at Feministing is fairly discouraging.
Amananta's post "We Told You So" at Screaming Into The Void talks about sexism in online gaming. It's part of a series she has been running that makes me laugh even as it makes me cringe, because she is such a wonderful writer and observer of human behavior.
I mightily applaud everyone who is drawing attention to the DeAnza rape allegations situation and pressing for a criminal investigation. See, for example, Marcella's topical post at Abyss2hope, Echidne's post at Echidne of the Snakes, and Twisty's post at I Blame The Patriarchy. Radical feminist blogs are doing a terrific job of discussing the case without blaming the victim, which is sometimes harder than one might think, or so it often seems.
Other violence related posts include:
"honor killings redux" by La Doctorita at Unconventional Beauty.
Heart's post "Dorothy Stang, Confronter of Male Power" at Women's Space/The Margins.
"From the testimony of Lola Cristeta Alcober, Tacloban City, Leyte" at LABAN! Fight For Comfort Women.
"I can't get away from disturbing images" by Charliegrrl at Blog of Feminist Activism Against Porn.
The Smoking Gun has a copy of the indictment filed against a porn producer who sometimes goes by the name of "Max Hardcore." The website notes: "A copy of the indictment, which was filed in Tampa, Florida and unsealed yesterday, can be found below. As described in the DOJ release, [Max Hardcore] … is a "nationally-known director, producer, and star of films featuring acts such as anal penetration, urination, insertion of an entire hand into a vagina or anus, vomiting, and severe violence" towards female performers."
Finally, Our Vaunted Feminist Humorlessness Is Challenged By:
The Girl Detective's post entitled "we have enough, apparently."
Hermione's post "Red Riding Hood: the real story" at Cronespace.
Mad Kane's Humor Blog post: "Keeping Abreast Of Bras."
See also this Cat and Girl.
Let me know about any needed additions, subtractions or corrections. Thanks to everyone who nominated posts, and especially to Heart for her powerful and relentless feminism, and for founding the Carnival.

sees the justices and the people as partners in a "marriage" that bypasses the elected legislature and the president. "It frequently is the case that when judges rely on the Constitution to invalidate the actions of the other branches of government, they are enforcing the will of the American people," he says."...
How well does this claim hold up against the historical record? Friedman's best evidence is that the people and the court are still married. To be sure, a divorce in the form of diminished authority for the justices would be hard to bring off, given the legal obstacles. And particularly early on, a few marital spats led to serious rifts and estrangement. McCulloch v. Maryland, the 1819 decision upholding the power of Congress to charter a national bank, infuriated states' rights advocates and brought that century's fight over federalism to a head. A decade later, when the court ruled in favor of Cherokee sovereignty over Georgia's assertion of authority to remove the tribe, the state refused to comply, or to appear before the court at all. In the reaction to Dred Scott, the divisive 1857 decision to deny citizenship rights to black people, Friedman sees an "evolution in the nation's commitment to judicial review," because the ruling was not met with defiance. But since the country cracked apart four years later in a civil war that the Dred Scott ruling hastened, the fact that the court emerged tarnished but otherwise unharmed seems a bit beside the point.
Friedman's case strengthens in the 20th century....Friedman is certainly right that over time, the court has proved itself the Teflon branch of government.,..
All of this serves as a response to the argument that judicial review is bad for democracy because it resides in the unelected branch of the federal government. If the court has stayed in the public's good graces by increasingly reflecting its will, then the justices have learned to make themselves accountable.

Bazelon reviews Friedman, The Will of the People
The Will of the People: How Public Opinion Has Influenced the Supreme Court and Shaped the Meaning of the Constitution by Barry Friedman, which will be released next week, has been reviewed by Emily Bazelon for the New York Times. Hat tip. She finds the book a "thought-provoking and authoritative history of the Supreme Court's relationship to popular opinion." Legal historians have seen Friedman's ideas develop in a series of articles, which are posted on SSRN.
According to Bazelon, Friedman

The Johnson family on black-ish has seen a respectable number of high-profile celebs breeze through their spot over the years: Tyra Banks, Rashida Jones, Beau Bridges and even Chris Brown among them. None, though, is as big as the guest star black-ish almost got, a lady you may have heard of named Michelle Obama.
black-ish Will Do Another Police-Themed Episode Next Season
You read that right. "We thought we had a shot at getting Michelle Obama three years ago, right when she was heading out of office," black-ish executive producer Jonathan Groff told TV Guide recently at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.
It makes sense. black-ish creator Kenya Barris has said the show was hugely influenced by the Obama presidency -- their legacies live and breathe throughout the blood of the series, and they're integral to the emotional core of the 2016 episode "Hope" -- and Michelle once called black-ish her favorite show. She'd have nailed it too; Barack's boo has shown she's super comfortable on camera, having been on screen lots of times. She's chopped it up with buddies Corden and Fallon just to name a few, and her appearance would've been in line with those, as opposed to a fictional turn. "She would have been probably playing herself," Groff said, "tying it into Dre's work -- perhaps promoting her gardening initiative."Michelle Obama and Tracee Ellis Ross" data-image-credit="Getty Images" data-image-alt-text="Michelle Obama and Tracee Ellis Ross" data-image-credit-url="" data-image-target-url="" data-image-title="Michelle Obama and Tracee Ellis Ross" data-image-filename="180809-michelle-obama.jpg" data-image-date-created="2018/08/09" data-image-crop="" data-image-crop-gravity="" data-image-aspect-ratio="" data-image-height="1380" data-image-width="2070" data-image-do-not-crop="" data-image-do-not-resize="" data-image-watermark="" data-lightbox="">
So what happened? Well, nothing, but it wasn't anyone's fault per se. The Obamas, as you might imagine, are busy people, and it eventually fell through the cracks. "It just didn't happen," Groff said. "It was a near miss."
Maybe both parties will make it happen one day -- especially since Mrs. Obama and black-ish's Tracee Ellis Ross have a great rapport, as evidenced by this photo of them at the The United State Of Women Summit in Los Angeles earlier this year. And hey, those who absolutely can't wait to see Michelle Obama on TV just have to hold on a little longer: their production company, Higher Ground Productions, is hard at work making shows for Netflix.
black-ish returns for Season 5 Tuesday October 16 at 9/8c on ABC.

Today's economy has challenged everyone to become more flexible in their approach to business. For today's club owners, managers and leaders, this means learning to adjust, adapt and overcome.
As the economy creates stress, opportunities will be created for those who are bold enough to take advantage of them. But first, you must take an objective, hard look at the way you do business.
How efficient is your marketing and sales process? How much value are members placing on their experiences at your club? Are you providing genuine customer service, or is it just lip service? Are you settling just for customer satisfaction, or are you striving for customer loyalty? Have you learned to adapt to your changing market, or do you just blame lack of sales on increased competition?
You must answer these questions, adjust your thinking and step outside the box to find a solution before adapting a new strategy to be competitive. The following are strategies that some clubs already are implementing.
1. The economy creates stress in people's lives. Promote a package that focuses on stress management: massage, meditation, cardio, yoga, speakers on stress, etc. Start re-selling members on why they should continue memberships, so they don't fall apart as their worlds fall apart.
2. Sell to niches. Rethink your promotions and programming. Forty percent of people in a USA Today survey said they were under increased financial pressure. Anger, irritability and fatigue have risen, as has difficulty sleeping. Programming is a need that your members and potential customers have. Are you serving it, or are you pretending that people's stress levels haven't increased? Move from a reactionary business model to an anticipatory one that allows you to experiment.
3. Actively listen to members and staff. Do member and staff surveys, offer comment cards and suggestion boxes, survey focus groups and member advisory boards, and employ mystery shoppers.
4. Set the right service foundation. Create a culture, not a club. This means developing a mission statement, credos, core service philosophy and management objectives.
5. Make sure you have passionate, committed leadership, with dedication to member service.
6. Offer management training that involves goal setting, coaching skills, quality control, being proactive, establishing a service manual and communications training.
7. Hire correctly. To do this, you need recruitment commitment, interview techniques, multiple interviews, reference checks and trial periods.
8. Hold orientations for new hires. Training should include employee handbooks, staff and member introductions, job descriptions, new hire checklists, boot camp, homework and mentoring relationships.
9. Require departmental training, including training checklists, quizzes, evaluations, individual weekly meetings and role playing.
10. Offer continuous staff training, including sending them to conventions, seminars, training meetings, personal presentations, outside speakers, club visitations and retreats, as well as creating a reference library. Also send staff to certification training.
11. Evaluate, measure and communicate with staff. It can come as monthly audits or evaluations, staff newsletters, service committees, the member service manager and meetings.
12. Recognize, reward and promote staff with retention-based pay, results compensation, superstar-of-the-month contests, service contests, thank-you notes, praise, club prizes and other incentives.

Recent developments and dependencies on prices/taxesla Cour, Lisbeth; Milhøj, Anders (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In the following we will analyse the sale of alcohol in Denmark. Various figures related to this question are published by Statistics Denmark at different frequencies. Our main concern will be with quarterly data for the sale of beer, wine and spirits from the period 1990 – 2004. Our two hypotheses are: First we want to convince the reader that the total sale of alcohol in Denmark since 1980 has been fairly stable. By total sale we mean the total sale of 100% alcohol so the three categories – beer, wine and spirits are measured in litres of 100% alcohol equivalents. In order to convince the reader that the total sale of alcohol has been fairly constant we will present graphs and various indicators and tests of the degree of temporal dependence in this series. The overall impression from this analysis is that our first hypothesis seems to be supported – at least not contradicted – by the data. Next, we want to model the sale of beer and wine as shares of the total sale of alcohol. Even though the total sale can be considered fairly stable there have been divergent paths of evolvement for the sub-groups: the sale of beer has decreased over the period and the sale of wine has increased. The sale of spirits has been fairly stable. Modelling the system of the beer-share and the wine-share we want to split the total development into a part that can be ascribed to changes in the relative prices and a part that can be explained by changes in taste and drinking habits specified as a trend. By specifying a system conditionally on the prices of beer, wine and spirits and a trend we manage to estimate price sensitivity and taste sensitivity. A small forecasting exercise shows that the final model is fairly good at predicting changes in the shares due to price changes. Finally, the effects on the market shares of hypothetical changes in the taxation of alcohol are discussed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7532

Abstract: The focus is effects of investments in airports and runways on the market for air travel and more in general for the production possibilities of the economy. In the case of Greenland two types of impacts can be sorted out. One is more efficient production of air transport due to increased density in the utilization of the net because of no use or less use of the airport in Kangerlussuaq. The other effect, connected to the first, is that resources are set free by avoidance of double work receiving the same passengers (and goods) in Kangerlussuaq and especially in Nuuk. Transformation curves are used to illustrate both effects and the first is dealt with also in an ordinary price quantity diagram. Using previous calculations and estimates done by the author two specific scenarios are treated in the theoretical framework presented: one is a lengthening of the runway in Nuuk to 1799 m and less intensive use of Kangerlussuaq, the other is the building of an airport south of Nuuk with a 3000 m runway in combination with abandoning Kangerlussuaq. Profitability and amortisation of the investments are reviewed in transformation curve diagrams. On the assumptions of the calculations both scenarios are profitable, but by far the most profitable is the big investment south of Nuuk. Concluding remarks stress the preliminary character of my calculations, but they also point out that decision makers' choice of scenarios to be discussed and compared is unstable.

The relevant antitrust market for salmonHaldrup, Niels; Møllgaard, Peter; Kastberg Nielsen, Claus (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Delineation of the relevant market forms a pivotal part of most antitrust cases. The standard approach is sequential. First the product market is delineated, then the geographical market is defined. Demand and supply substitution in both the product dimension and the geographical dimension will normally be stronger than substitution in either dimension. By ignoring this one might decide first to define products narrowly and then to define the geographical extent narrowly ignoring the possibility of a diagonal substitution. These reflections are important in the empirical delineation of product and geographical markets. Using a unique data set for prices of Norwegian and Scottish salmon, we propose a methodology for simultaneous market delineation and we demonstrate that compared to a sequential approach conclusions will be reversed.

Temporary Protection and Refugee OutcomesLarsen, Birthe; Kilström, Matilda; Olme, Elisabet (Frederiksberg, 2018)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We study a Danish reform in 2002 that lowered the ex ante probability of refugees receiving permanent residency by prolonging the time period before they were eligible to apply for permanent residency. Assignment to the new rules was completely determined by the date of the asylum application and the reform was implemented retroactively. We formulate a simple search and matching model to derive predictions that can be tested using our data. Then we study the effects on educational and labor market outcomes and find that the reform significantly increased enrollment in formal education, especially for females and low skilled individuals. In terms of employment and earnings, coefficients are in general negative but non-significant. Other outcomes of interest are also studied. The reform had a negative impact on criminal activity driven by a reduction among males. There are no effects on health outcomes and significant but relatively small negative effects on childbearing for females. The results do not seem to be driven by selection, since the reform had no significant effect on the share that stayed in Denmark in the long run. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9650

Abstract: Processing ashore of raw materials from the fisheries tend intuitively to recommend itself because more creation of value added in this manner should take place in Greenland. However, we observe the opposite tendency: production is shifted aboard on factory trawlers and catches are shipped directly to export markets or may be so after transshipping in e.g. Nuuk. It is shown that this actual development indeed is the prediction of location economics. In the case of unemployment it may be optimal to secure raw materials for processing on plants ashore, an aim that may be achieved via subsidies. The optimality of such policy is discussed using concepts from cost benefit analysis, and it is demonstrated how the shadow price of labor has a crucial role. Shifting to the macro level capacity restrictions on plants and on the labor market are pointed out. The effect of taking raw material ashore is illustrated with a macro production function, which is assumed to have a positive marginal product until the capacity limit is hit. This, however, may take place after the noninflationary augmenting level of employment has been reached. Finally the possibility of alternative and better policies than the one relying on subsidies is touched upon. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7570

A Disaggregate PerspectiveMalchow-Møller, Nikolaj; Skaksen, Jan Rose (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Skill-Biased Technological Change in Denmark: A Disaggregate Perspective* In this paper, we provide an industry-level analysis of skill-biased technological change (SBTC) in Denmark over the last two decades. The analysis shows that SBTC has varied considerably across industries, and traditionally large Danish industries have experienced relatively less SBTC. This may partly explain why wage inequality between skilled and less skilled has risen less in Denmark than in other countries. We also find that SBTC has been concentrated in already skill-intensive industries. This contains important information about future labour requirements, as the relative importance of these industries must be expected to grow, thereby reinforcing the shift in demand for skilled labour.

Larsen, Birthe (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper examines the implications of that workers may not be able to estimate their true costs of acquiring skills. Consequently, too few workers may acquire skills. This allows for the possibility that subsidizing education is welfare improving. Furthermore, if the presence of skill-biased technological shocks increase unemployment, this may explain why the market it-self cannot respond to this by making it sufficiently attractive to acquire skills. Consequently, the trade-off in-between subsidizing education and thereby reducing unemployment and optimizing welfare may be eliminated. We analyse this issue in a simple educational model and next in a search equilibrium model including a skill choice decision. Keywords: Education, subsidies, efficiency, unemployment.

Abstract: We find that the main featues of labor policy across OECD countries can be explained by a simple general equilibrium search model with risk neutral agents and a government that chooses policy to maximize a social welfare function. In equilibrum, policies are chosen to optimal redistribute income from advantaged to disadvantaged workers. A worker can be disadvantaged in the sense that they may have less ability to aquire and utilize skills in the workplace. The model explains why passive benefits tend to fall and active benefits tend to increase during the course of unemployment spell. The model also explains why countries that appear to pursue equity spend more on both active and passive labor market programs. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7648

Abstract: This paper studies the impact of outsourcing on individual wages. In contrast to the standard approach in the literature, we focus on domestic outsourcing as well as foreign outsourcing. By using a simple theoretical model, we argue that, if outsourcing is associated with specialization gains arising from an increase in the extent of the market for intermediate goods, domestic outsourcing tends to increase wages for both unskilled and skilled labor. We use a panel data set of workers in Danish manufacturing industries to show that domestic and foreign outsurcing affect wages as predicted by the theory.

Abstract: This paper introduces the concept of a steepest ascent tariff reform for a small open economy. By construction, it is locally optimal in that it yields the highest gain in utility of any feasible tariff reform vector of the same length. Accordingly, it provides a convenient benchmark for the evaluation of the welfare effectiveness of other well known tariff reform rules, as e.g. the proportional and the concertina rules. We develop the properties of this tariff reform, characterize the sources of the potential welfare gains from tariff reform, use it to establish conditions under which some existing reforms are locally optimal, provide geometric illustrations and compare welfare effectiveness of reforms using numerical examples. Moreover, being a general concept, we apply it to the issue of market access and examine its implications. Overall, the paper's contribution lies in presenting a theoretical concept where the focus is upon the size of welfare gains accruing from tariff reforms rather than simply with the direction of welfare effects that has been the concern of the literature.

Abstract: This paper examines the macroeconomic effects of youth unemployment programmes in the form of vocational training (YUPs), developing a two sector general equilibrium model featuring matching frictions and worker-fi rm wage bargaining for skilled workers. Unskilled sector wages are indexed to skilled sector wages. Workers differ with respect to ability, having importance for the young worker s skill decision. Furthermore, a young worker may be offered vocational training through YUPs. The total number of skilled workers is therefore determined by these two channels and the interaction between them. We focus on the impact of of YUPs on skill division, unemployment distribution workers and aggregate unemployment.

The Strange Case of Robert Oppenheimer
Brotherhood of the Bomb: The Tangled Lives and Loyalties of Robert Oppenheimer, Ernest Lawrence, and Edward Teller
Pandora's Keepers: Nine Men and the Atomic Bomb
April next year will mark the centenary of the birth of the physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the leader of the generation that built the atomic bomb. He had been a Wunderkind, the son of well-to-do German Jews in New York City, a brilliant student of physics at Harvard and Göttingen. In the 1930s, teaching at both the California Institute of Technology and the University of California, Berkeley, he trained the United States' first vital school of theoretical physicists. Together with his students, he provided the theoretical analysis of the nuclear data that came pouring out of the cyclotrons at the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory. They were the product of the driving inventiveness and entrepreneurship of Ernest O. Lawrence, a midwesterner of uncomplicated ambitiousness whose work on big accelerator physics earned him a Nobel Prize in 1939.
The two men admired and liked each other, although Lawrence strongly disapproved of Oppenheimer's politics. Awakening politically in the mid-Thirties, Oppenheimer became an energetic fellow traveler—joining with Communists in supporting the Loyalists in Spain and promoting labor activism, including attempts by the Federation of Architects, Engineers, Chemists, and Technicians (FAECT) to organize the employees at the Radiation Laboratory. Lawrence, perhaps fearful of alienating his rich California patrons, prohibited anyone, including Oppenheimer, from raising political questions at the Radiation Laboratory. Even though Oppenheimer broke the rule occasionally, Lawrence nevertheless brought him into the atomic bomb work at Berkeley in 1941, declaring, "I have a great deal of confidence in Oppenheimer."
Since the bomb project not only posed a formidable scientific challenge but also entailed a huge task of procurement and production, authority over it was given in 1942 to the Army's new Manhattan Engineering District under the command of General Leslie R. Groves.1 Groves selected Oppenheimer to direct the laboratory where the atomic bombs would be designed, even though Oppenheimer seemed unqualified for such a job either by experience or temperament. In July 1943, despite counter-recommendations from Army security officials, Groves ordered Oppenheimer cleared "without delay," declaring, "He is absolutely essential to the project."
Oppenheimer succeeded brilliantly, assembling a team of world-class physicists in a new base at Los Alamos, New Mexico, and managing their egos as well as their dissatisfactions with the muddy streets as they worked on the design of the bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He emerged from the war as one of the most famous physicists in America, the leading sage of the nuclear era, an influential adviser to statesmen, chair of the General Advisory Committee (GAC) of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), and the new director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, where Einstein was a professor. He enjoyed power and took care not to jeopardize his access to it, declining to contest attacks against the political reliability of other scientists and telling security officials who among physicists might have been a Communist or might now be…

After a too-long unexcused absence, I hope to return to intermittent blogging for Bench Memos. I cannot maintain the pace or intensity of Ed Whelan, the greatest legal blogger of all time. But I will join the fracas every now and then on issues of special concern.
Starting today: On the National Review home page today is a short article of mine entitled Trump's First Unconstitutional War.
The title sums up the main point: The military strikes against the Assad regime in Syria might have been morally justified. They might have been strategically and tactically sound. But they were plainly unconstitutional. Moreover, it is dangerous to allow presidents to initiate wars on their own, in seemingly plain violation of the Constitution. Especially this president. An excerpt:
This act of war might be one that some are inclined to cheer. But if the principle is conceded, or the precedent set, that Trump (or any president, for that matter) can take our country to war with another — on his own, without congressional authorization, in violation of the Constitution — then there will be nothing to stop him from initiating any further wars he wants, against any foes he wants, at any time he chooses, based on his own good judgment (or lack thereof). And that should frighten Americans of all political persuasions.

Abstract: Foreign direct investment (FDI) in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has been maturing as the region prepared to join the European Union (EU). Since the beginning of transition the pattern of FDI has evolved, reflecting new business strategies pursued in anticipation of EU membership. Based on first results from a questionnaire survey conducted in 2003 in Hungary, Lithuania and Poland, we portray the recent patterns and developments in foreign investment, the motives for investment, and managers' assessment of the local business environment. Some questions have been replicated from a study conducted in the emerging economies of Egypt, India, South Africa, and Vietnam, which allows us to benchmark FDI patterns in CEE against other emerging economies in different parts of the world. We find that find fewer changes over the period of the 1990s then we expected, but some interesting differences across the three countries in our study, and between CEE and other emerging economies.

Abstract: The concept of 'distance' has been used by international business scholars to explain variations in international business strategies and operations across countries. The more distant a host country is from the organizational centre of a multinational enterprise (MNE), the more it has to manage cultural, regulatory and cognitive differences, and to develop appropriate entry strategies, organizational forms, and internal procedures to accommodate these differences. Scholarly research has focused on the concept of psychic distance, which has been narrowed down in empirical work to indices based on Hofstede's work on culture. However, these measures capture only very partially the dimensions of distance of concern to international business. In this paper, we show how the broader theoretical concept of institutional distance, which incorporates normative, regulatory and cognitive aspects, affects entry strategies. Specifically, our theoretical arguments suggest that the impact of distance varies with different aspects of the concept of institutional distance, and that this impact interacts with both the investor's experience and with the relative importance of the pertinent operation for the investing MNE. Using a unique dataset of foreign direct investment in emerging economies that incorporates multi-host as well as multi-home countries, we find empirical support for our propositions, and provide an explanation for apparently inconsistent results in the previous literature.

In Poll, Obama Is Given Trust Over Medicare
By MICHAEL COOPER and DALIA SUSSMAN
NY Times
The Romney-Ryan proposal to reshape Medicare by giving future beneficiaries fixed amounts of money to buy health coverage is deeply unpopular in Florida, Ohio and Wisconsin, according to new polls that found that more likely voters in each state trust President Obama to handle Medicare.
The Medicare debate was catapulted to the forefront of the presidential campaign this month when Mitt Romney announced that his running mate would be Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, who is perhaps best known for proposing a budget plan, supported by Mr. Romney, to overhaul Medicare to rein in its costs.
After more than a week of frenzied campaigning on the issue, Medicare ranks as the third-most crucial issue to likely voters in Florida, Ohio and Wisconsin — behind the economy and health care, according to new Quinnipiac University/New York Times/CBS News polls of the three swing states. The Republican proposal to retool the program a decade from now is widely disliked.
Roughly 6 in 10 likely voters in each state want Medicare to continue providing health insurance to older Americans the way it does today; fewer than a third of those polled said Medicare should be changed in the future to a system in which the government gives the elderly fixed amounts of money to buy health insurance or Medicare insurance, as Mr. Romney has proposed. And Medicare is widely seen as a good value: about three-quarters of the likely voters in each state said the benefits of Medicare are worth the cost to taxpayers.
"On Medicare, I don't like the Paul Ryan plan," said Beverly McLaren, 72, an independent from St. Petersburg, Fla., who said in a follow-up interview that Medicare worked well for her and that she planned to vote to re-elect Mr. Obama. "I can't see how it will help at all, and we'll have more out-of-pocket expenses, and I'm not really clear how it will work."
About 60 percent of independent voters in the three states support keeping Medicare as it is today, as do at least 8 in 10 Democrats. Republicans are closely divided on the issue in Florida and Ohio, but in Wisconsin, Mr. Ryan's home state, a majority of Republicans support changing it along the lines he has proposed.
The polls — the first in this series of swing-state surveys taken since Mr. Ryan joined the Republican ticket — showed that at least in Mr. Ryan's home state, he may be helping Mr. Romney. A majority of likely Wisconsin voters said they approved of the way Mr. Ryan has handled his job in Congress, and 31 percent said his selection made them more likely to vote for Mr. Romney, while 22 percent said it made them less likely to do so. The race appears to have tightened a bit in both Florida and Wisconsin in recent weeks.
In Florida and Wisconsin, where Mr. Obama had led Mr. Romney by six percentage points in polls conducted before the selection of Mr. Ryan, the race is essentially tied. Mr. Obama is ahead in Florida by 49 percent to 46 percent and in Wisconsin by 49 percent to 47 percent — differences within the polls' margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points. Mr. Obama retains a six-point advantage in Ohio, where he leads Mr. Romney 50 percent to 44 percent, unchanged from last month's survey.
The polls were largely conducted before the uproar over remarks on rape and abortion made by a Republican Senate candidate in Missouri, Representative Todd Akin, which officials in both parties agree could alter the dynamic of the race, especially among women. Mr. Obama enjoys solid support of a majority of women in each of these three states, the surveys found, but in Wisconsin his healthy lead among women has narrowed since the last poll and now trails the levels of the 2008 election, when he won the state.
The polls' findings on Medicare underscore the risk Mr. Romney took when he chose Mr. Ryan to be his running mate. Mr. Ryan rose to prominence among conservatives who lauded his willingness to propose unpopular measures to balance the budget and cut the rising costs of Medicare — costs officials in both parties agree are on an unsustainable path. But while the polls found that Mr. Romney enjoyed a wide advantage in all three states on the question of who is better equipped to tackle the budget deficit, it found that he lagged on other questions voters feel strongly about — including who is better equipped to handle health care, Medicare and foreign policy. Some voters give them credit for campaigning on a politically contentious issue.
"It may be political suicide, but at least Romney and Ryan are willing to stand up and say we can't keep shoveling money into this program and other programs like this," said Michael Behnke, 59, an independent from Solon, Ohio.
When it comes to the running mates, Mr. Ryan comes out ahead with independents. On balance, they feel more favorable toward Mr. Ryan but have a more negative view of Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who has drawn criticism in recent days for saying that Mr. Romney's policies would unchain the financial sector and "put y'all back in chains." But many voters in Florida and Ohio said they did not yet know enough about Mr. Ryan to form an opinion — and many in all three states said the choice of running mate would have no impact on their votes.
The polls were conducted by telephone (landline and cellphones) from Aug. 15 through Tuesday among 1,241 likely voters in Florida, 1,253 likely voters in Ohio and 1,190 likely voters in Wisconsin. All three are states Mr. Obama won, but where Republicans have since made gains in state and local elections.
Mr. Romney has taken pains to stress that his Medicare plan would not change the benefits for people 55 or over. But voters over 55 have strong feelings about it, including in Florida, the electoral-vote-rich state where Republicans will hold their convention next week.
Jim Ryan, 75, a retired executive from Bradenton, Fla., who is an independent, said it was an important issue because he and his wife were on Medicare.
"We're enjoying the benefits now, and the Paul Ryan program of making it into a voucher system would change things," he said. "I know it's not intended to apply to people in our age group, but I'm concerned about the future. I think it's a wonderful program, and I've got middle-aged children and I don't want to see the program destroyed. It's probably one of the best programs sponsored by the federal government that we've ever had. It does have to be made fiscally sound, but there are ways to do that without destroying the whole concept or the substance of it."
Mr. Romney has been attacking Mr. Obama for counting on $716 billion in Medicare savings to help pay for his health care law — savings that Mr. Ryan also counted on in his budget plan but which Mr. Romney has promised to restore. The poll underscored how unpopular deep cuts to Medicare are.
Only about a tenth of the voters in each state said they would support major reductions in Medicare spending to reduce the federal deficit. Nearly half of the voters in each state said they would support minor reductions, and about a third said they would not support any reductions at all.

Building a chicken house is very vital. The chicken coop should be safe and protect the birds from predators such as hawks, cats and even canines. Some people can even try to steal your chickens. Your hen house must be well covered as well to protect your birds from too much sunlight, cold and rainwater.
You must try by all means to keep your chicken coop clean as possible. The house should be large enough to accommodate all of your chickens, young and old. They should be enough space for your birds to lay their eggs and eat. Fresh water can also be given to your birds in their coop.
You should surround your chicken house with a fence to give your chickens some space to move around and search for insects to enjoy.

Sounds Like a Broken Record
Wide World Photos
The IAAF, track and field's governing body, made sure not to disappoint the fans at the sports' biggest showcase the World Championship which were held in Athens in 1997. After much debate, the IAAF awarded "wildcard" slots to the defending champions whether they qualified through the proper channels or not.
Johnson bounced back from his injury in June to successfully defend his gold medal in the 400 as a wildcard entry. Spinter Maurice Greene avenged Johnson's loss to Bailey, beating him in the 100m final with a time of 9.86, just .02 seconds off of Bailey's world record time. Ukraine's Sergey Bubka won his sixth consecutive gold in the pole vault. Marion Jones completed the double dip for the Americans in the 100m and won her second gold with the U.S. 4x100 team. The foursome, anchored by Gail Devers, set an American record with their blazing time of 41.47. However, the women's 4x400 team was upset by the Germans, thanks to a lightning-fast anchor leg by Grit Breuer, and settled for silver.
There was a plenty of action outside the World Championships as well. World records fell like hail and the biggest of those to drop was Sebastien Coe's 16-year-old mark in the 800m. Wilson Kipketer, a Kenyan who runs for Denmark, first equaled the mark of 1:41.73 set by the Briton before besting it-for the second time-in August.
Then there was the letdown of the year. It was the biggest disappointment since Dan vs. Dave. But at least we got to see it. Well, sort of. Michael vs. Donovan was unable to settle the question. Still it remains. Exactly who is the world's fastest man? After the months of hype for the showdown at the bastardized length of 150 meters in Toronto's Skydome, the payoff eluded us. Michael Johnson, the American hero in the 200m and 400m from the Atlanta Games in 1996, was representing the U.S. while Donovan Bailey, the gold medal winner in the 100m in Atlanta and the current world record holder in the event, represented Canada. Seconds after it started it was over. Michael Johnson pulled up lame after he was slightly behind coming out of the turn. Some said that Johnson feigned the injury to save face.
While the largely pro-Bailey crowd was ecstatic, it was in many ways a empty win. The only thing that is certain is that it was a terrible day for track and field. It was supposed to be a big moment for the sport, a day when non-fans would turn their attention to track and field and maybe give it its due. Instead everyone was left with a sour taste in their mouths.
Finally, a man who knows a little something about world records, gold medals and what its like to be the world's fastest man retired in September. Carl Lewis, winner of a record nine Olympic golds and former 100m world record holder, hung up his track spikes for good following a relay exhibition at half-time of the Houston-Pitt football game.
