For decades West Europeans competed with each other to build the ''model'' welfare state. Sweeping programs of ''social insurance'' - from generous unemployment benefits to almost limitless free health care - were built on a foundation of economic growth.
Today that foundation is shaken. Growth has halted, or slowed to a trickle. And as the recession bites deep from one end of Europe to the other, a new race has started . . . to slash welfare budgets.
It foreshadows potentially significant social and political change. But the key immediate challenge facing governments today, according to many observers, is to trim their welfare budgets without trimming their electoral support.
''Many governments would find themselves out of office if they were to cut welfare payments too drastically,'' says one political analyst. ''There's no question the welfare system has become something sacrosanct since the war. But at the same time, if they don't reduce public spending - a large chunk of which goes to the welfare systems - their economies could collapse. And that would also put the governments out on the street.''
Just how Western Europe's welfare systems will eventually be rebuilt will vary from one country to another. For now, the catchword is cut.
The pruning shears have been wielded primarily (and not surprisingly) by conservative and center-right governments in Britain, West Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark. But even in socialist France, the shears have begun to prune a blossoming welfare budget deficit now exceeding $4 billion a year.
In the Netherlands, the new center-right government (sworn in earlier this month) has set as one of its priorities saving $1.4 billion next year alone by cutting some social security benefits and freezing others, and by chopping some health-care subsidies. Premiums will also be raised.
In Britain, where Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher saved the government more than $2 billion by slashing unemployment and family benefits in her first year in office (1979), a debate has opened over how much more will have to be cut from the welfare budget. Most agree cuts will have to be made.
Social benefits and the nationalized health service now take more than $8 billion a year from the British government till, accounting for 40 percent of government spending (against only one-third in the late 1970s).
For its part, the new West German government of Chancellor Helmut Kohl announced plans to cut public spending, including outlays for welfare, less than a month after taking office in October. Labor Minister Norbert Blum, however, rejected proposals by Economics Minister Otto Lambsdorff to reduce unemployment and other social benefits, pledging instead to delay pension increases, tighten up on student loans, chop child-welfare benefits, and boost insurance premiums for the elderly.
''We are faced with only one choice,'' Mr. Blum said recently, ''caution or demolition. And as I am against the demolition of the social welfare system, I regard a breathing space as absolutely necessary.''
In Belgium, the center-right government has been encountering stiff public resistance recently to its new austerity program. This includes freezing for two years state-supported insurance schemes for doctors and health workers, cutting family allowances, and reducing the number of hospital beds in the country by one-quarter.
And in Denmark - once the model-of-models for the rest of Western Europe - Poul Schluter, the new conservative prime minister, has pushed through a plan aimed at cutting public spending next year by about 7 percent - almost entirely at the expense of the welfare system.
''People will not take lightly to seeing their welfare benefits dwindle away, '' says one analyst. ''Once those cuts start taking effect, we can expect to see some public unrest - if not outrage.''
Taking a slightly different tack is Ivor Richard, European Community social affairs commissioner. ''On the face of it,'' he says, ''the public reaction could be nil. After all, many of the cutbacks will affect the least vocal and least organized members of society - the sick and the elderly.
''On the other hand,'' he told the Monitor in an interview here, ''the 11 million unemployed, whose number could grow to 15 million by the mid-1980s, are organized, young, and fit. They are not going to take the cutbacks sitting down.''
Some experts add that the cuts will have to be accompanied by an upturn in the economy. Otherwise, they say, government credibility will suffer and public protests will mount.
''It's the economic crisis that's been at the heart of the problem, and not any faults inherent in the welfare systems themselves,'' says Mr. Richard.
It was a recent paper written by European Community experts at Richard's request (''I want to engage the EC member countries in a discussion to find a European solution to the problem'') that emphasized the point that the postwar ''obligation'' of European governments to provide their citizens with comprehensive social insurance programs rested on a foundation of continuing economic growth.
Today, not only has that growth disappeared, but even while it was slowing down governments continued to pump money into their welfare systems so that national welfare expenditures in the EC have risen to an average of one-quarter of gross national product, up from one-fifth a decade ago.
Also working against the welfare systems have been the falling birth rates throughout West Europe. This has combined with the recession to lead to fewer workers supporting for example, more than 10 percent of the population that is either unemployed or over 75 years old.
Over the next few months, the debate over the role the welfare system should play in modern society is expected to intensify, pitting those who believe the system to have been at the core of West Europe's inability to successfully absorb the post-1973 oil-price shock against those who feel that to abandon the system now would be abandon the only stabilizing factor in an otherwise gloomy social and economic landscape.
The EC Commission, urged on by Mr. Richard, has sided with the latter school. It states in its recent paper that ''social protection is a precondition for maintaining a high level of skills, efficiency, and motivation in the economic life of Europe.'' Moreover, it says, ''the amounts levied do not drop out of the economic circuit'' but help to maintain economic activity.
To complement the current welfare-cutting craze, the Commission is suggesting that the EC governments begin looking at ways to streamline the systems to avoid overlapping administrative costs and minimize waste, review the means of financing the systems, find means for eliminating abuse, and make the systems more flexible, allowing them to adapt more readily to changing needs.
Is the crisis temporary?
''Absolutely not,'' Mr. Richard answers without hesitation. ''It's not simply a matter of holding our breath while we get through the recession. The problem will be with us for some time to come. And the answers will not come easily.''

For many decades, the healthcare system in the US has been inefficient and corrupt. Healthcare companies do not care for those who need healthcare, and instead are only concerned about how much money they can make. This is why a federal healthcare system is inevitable, not only because the US is one of the few developed countries without one, but also because we must not allow corporations to keep robbing those people they represent.
Healthcare in the United States is a private industry, and therefore none of the federal government's business. The federal government needs to stay out of healthcare and individual health choices. Private industry has always and continues to drive the healthcare industry to greater technological advancements and better treatments, and there is nothing that federal interference can do to help this, it could only slow things down.

Man dies in Oak Creek house explosion
Law enforcement, fire crews on scene at 208 Carbon Avenue
February 13, 2008
Oak Creek — A man died after a home in Oak Creek exploded this morning. The likely cause of the blast is a propane tank explosion, an Oak Creek fire official said.
Chuck Wisecup, chief of the Oak Creek Fire Protection District, said the man was trapped in the wreckage of the blast, which occurred shortly after 8:30 a.m. Wednesday at 208 Carbon Ave., on the west side of the South Routt town. The house was destroyed. Crews reportedly heard the man calling for help when they arrived on the scene early this morning, and fought to reach the man in severe smoke inhalation conditions for the next several hours. Wisecup said more than four feet of water poured into the crawl space of the home. The walls were blown out and the roof caved in when the explosion occurred, Wisecup said. Oak Creek Public Works crews helped pump out water and remove debris at the scene. Routt County Coroner Rob Ryg confirmed the man's death at about 4 p.m. Wednesday, but would not confirm the man's identity pending notification of kin.
A neighbor and town official both identified the resident of the house as Dennis Eugene Harris, 64, known as Gino or Gene. Harris reportedly lives alone with his dog. The dog reportedly escaped the house alive. Harris is a driver for the Routt County Council on Aging. A council van was parked at the residence this morning. The explosion blew out all the van's windows.
"It was definitely an explosion," Oak Creek Police Chief Russ Caterinicchio said of the blast. Neighbors said they felt the blast at their homes, and reported smelling propane in the area as early as Monday, when Harris may have had his propane tank refilled.
Numerous law enforcement and emergency response agencies, including Oak Creek police, the Routt County Sheriff's Office, and fire crews from Oak Creek and Steamboat Springs, responded to the scene. The fire was contained by noon. Wisecup said several adjacent homes suffered structural damage including blown out windows and skylights and exterior damage. Law enforcement did not evacuate Carbon Avenue. Wisecup said the Colorado Bureau of Investigation will inspect the site Thursday morning.
According to the Routt County Assessor's database, the home at 208 Carbon Ave. was purchased by Peter Nauman of Steamboat Springs in November 2004. The 674-square-foot, one-bedroom home has electric heat and wood siding, according to the Assessor's Office sales record.

Not a DreambyKapricorn71©

I was laying on the couch watching Bridezilla when my husband came downstairs. He sat near me on the couch, then told me to get across his knee. It shocked me a little, "What?"
"Lay across my knees for me to spank you."
"Ohhh," I shifted to get up. "What did I do to deserve this?"
"You are in possession of a phat, spankable ass."
I loved when Bret took control like that, and he knew it. His description of my ass made me smile so hard, my cheeks got slightly read – not an easy task for a black woman.
"Those aren't the only cheeks that will be red when I finish."
I laid across his lap, and he pushed me back up.
"What's with the clothes?"
I didn't have on much, but I took it off and started to lay back down. He stopped me again.
"Just stand there."
He knows I'm not 100% comfortable with my body, but I did as he told.
"Why didn't I get any pics to my cell today?"
I shrugged.
He swung around and smacked my ass. "Why didn't I get any pics to my cell today?"
I let the sting subside a little, "I knew you were in meetings all day."
"I knew it was important, and didn't want to distract you."
He looked at me hard, "You know that's when I like getting them the most. You were scared others would see."
I nodded my head, "A little."
"Then why'd you lie?"
I felt a twinge of fear, "I'm sorry."
Bret tied my hands and ankles together, then pulled me across his lap. His hand came down immediately.
"Wrong answer," he brought his hand down again.
"I'm sorry!"
"You've already said that."
His hand hitting my bare skin had a cold feeling at first, then warm as the sting spread to my whole ass. I couldn't kick away, or push myself up. His hand on my back kept me from rolling, so I had to take his punishment. "This isn't fair!"
"Want me to stop?"
I didn't want him to stop, "Maybe just lighten up a little?"
He felt my nipples; they were hard. Then he opened my ass cheeks, "You're saying that this isnt fair, but the creamy substance I see and the way your toes wiggle with each slap tell a different story," He brought his hand down again, "Matter of fact, your body's reaction all adds up to one thing." He brought his hand down twice in a row, "Your ass belongs to me!"
After two more slaps, I screamed, "Yes, daddy!"
"Now we're getting somewhere." He untied my ankles, and told me top open my legs. I did as he said, and the cold rush of air I felt told me he wasn't lying about what he saw. I then felt his fingers on my pussy, "So this is why you aren't a good girl? You don't do what I want you to do so I will spank you."
"No, that wasn't it."
He ran his finger between my lips, "Oh really? You're gonna try to tell me you don't like this?"
All I could do was groan.
"You like this, don't you?" his finger hit my clit.
"Ohh, please fuck me."
He moved his hand away, and it came down on my ass, "That's not what I asked you!"
I felt the stirs of an orgasm, and couldn't answer quickly enough. His hand came down again. "I like it!"
"See, you like being disobedient," his hand went back to my pussy."
"Please fuck me, baby," I said a little out of breath. "Flip me over and take out this frustration on my pussy."
"Don't worry, I'll do that and then some, suga, but this is what I want for now." He slid a finger inside me, then rubbed my clit some more," You should see how wet you have my leg. I'm loving your deep grunts and low moans; it's like sweet music to my ears." He brings down his hand on my ass again, "But so are your yelps!" he brought his hand down again. "You have a hell of an ass, and I know you can take it. Can't you?"
"What kind of answer is that?"
I felt a stronger orgasm building the more he spanked. "Yes, I can take it," I murmured.
"I know you can," he spanked faster.
I squirmed, and felt my clip rub his thigh – which felt fantastic! His spanking actually pushed my clit onto his thigh in this new position.
"Will a get a pic every day now?"
"I don't care if I'm in a meeting or not, I'd better get a body pic of you."
"You will, daddy, yesss!" an orgasm rolled through me, sending off a bell in my head – a bell that sounds like a telephone. I shoot up in bed, and search for the phone when I don't see it on the base. I fish it out from the covers and look at the caller ID. It's Bret.
"Are you all right? You sound out of breath."
"Yeah, I laugh. I'm fine."
"Is the baby all right?"
I put my hand on my belly, "Yes, we're both fine."
"What were you doing?"
I laugh, "Sleeping."
"Sleeping gets you out of breath like that?"
"Well, no."
He lowers his voice, "Then what were you doing?"
I laid back down, "Dreaming."
"You," I check between my legs, and I am wet.
"Was it a good dream?"
"Oh, very good!"
"Will you tell me about it tonight?"
"As much as I remember."
"Good. I hated leaving this morning, but last night was great."
"I totally agree."
"Hey, the shuttle is here to go to the hotel. I say Grier as I was leaving, and I asked him to keep an eye out to make sure you are okay."
I laughed, "I'm sure he jumped at that."
"So he thinks you're cute, that just means he won't let anything happen to you."
"Nothing is going to happen. You're only gone for three days."
"Three long days."
"I love you, daddy."
"Don't be startin' nothing now!" he laughed. "I love you too."
I hang up the phone, and lay there recalling the dream. It was so hot, and so vivid. I close my eyes and rub my pussy as I remember how Bret spanked me – just took absolute control. I open my legs more and push my fingers inside to ride. I know every woman doesn't agree, but I know my orgasms are more intense since I got pregnant. I cum hard thinking about how Bret tied and spanked me, and almost drift back to sleep.
When I got the bathroom, I catch a glimpse of myself as I pass the mirror. After I relieve my bladder, I get my cell phone. I take and send Bret a picture of me in his loose tank top. My swollen nipple is showing through the arm hole because of how I have the top.
It doesn't take him long to respond, "I told you not to be starting nothing!"
I laugh, then jump in the shower to start my day of running errands. When I get back home about five hours later, Grier is mowing his lawn. "Isn't it too hot for that?" I say taking groceries from my trunk.
He stops mowing and rushes over to help, "It's too hot for you to lug the bags around. Go ahead inside, I got them."
"I'm pregnant, not cripple," I grab some lighter bags. "And it's not like you are some teenager. You should be out of this sun too."
"Oh, this is fine to me; I love summer," he helps me get the bags inside.
"Want something to drink?"
"A quick glass of water, if you have it."
"You know we have water," I pour him a glass.
"Thank you."
"How've you been?"
"Margaret's dethaversary was last week, but I took it pretty good this year."
"Don't call it that; it's so morbid."
"Seven years," he sighs.
"I can't imagine."
"You're too young to imagine. Just enjoy the hell out of your loved ones while they're here," he handed me the empty glass. "I'd better stop stinking up your house."
"Don't worry; I have Oust," I smile.
He laughed. "Hey, I'm right next door if you need anything while Bret's gone. You two are good people, so don't hesitate to call on me."
"I appreciate that; thank you."
He left. I put the groceries away and take another shower.
"So tell me about this dream," Bret asks that night after we've get through all the basic stuff.
"Well," I get comfortable on the bed to tell him. As I go through the story, I slide my hand inside my panties. By the time I'm done with the dream, I'm just as wet as I was this morning.
"Let me hear you cum. I know you're rubbing that pussy."
"And I know you are stroking that big dick."
"You are right. Now let me hear you."
I let me breathing gets louder.
"Imagine me fucking you after that spanking; my dick sliding in and out of that hot, wet pussy."
"Yessss, I feel it."
"You know I love that pussy. And it's made for me, ain't it?"
"Just for you, daddy."
"Rub my pussy faster."
I moan in Bret's ear as I cum.
"Yessssss, that's my baby!"
"Did you cum?"
"Not yet."
"Hold on, I got something for you," I set the phone down, and got the massager I bought today from its package. "I got a new toy I want you to hear."
"What is it?"
"You'll know." I plugged it in, then got comfortable again. I left my panties on, because I wasn't quite ready to feel the full force. I turn it on, and he asked what it was. "Guess," I put it to my pussy, and moan.
"A vibrator?"
"Noooooo," I groan.
"I don't know what it is, but I love how it is making you sound.
I rub it over my clit, and let Bret hear my orgasm. "Oh shit," I toss it aside when I can't take anymore. "Your turn."
Bret grunts and groans.
"Release for me, daddy," I say in my sexiest voice – and he does. "Yes!"
"Damn, I wanna roll over and fuck you!"
I start rubbing my pussy again, "Nah, I'd be riding that dick tonight. I'm in cowgirl mode."
"You know I love that, because your titties are right where I can grab and play with them."
I pinch my nipple, "My what?"
He knows I like when he calls my breasts that, "Your titties!"
"Your big, sexy titties!"
"You know they're gonna start leaking soon."
"And I can't wait!"
"You gonna let me squirt it on you?"
I pull my panties off, "You so nasty! And I like it."
"You gonna let me nurse?"
"That's your job, when the baby is full."
Bret groans through another release, and I rub my pussy to another orgasm.
"Are we really that nasty?"
He laughs, "I guess we'll see in another few months."
"I love you so much."
"Me too, and I miss you."
"Good night."
I woke up tied to the bed. My ankles were tied to each bedpost, and my wrists were tied together over my head. Bret is standing at the foot of the bed, stroking his dick. He sees I'm awake and climbs on the bed to put his dick in my face. I lick it – kissing the tip and sucking his balls. He tells me to put my tongue out, and starts sliding his dick along it. He groans and increases the pace until his shoots on my face and neck. I think he is about to untie me, but he backs up, sliding his dick between my titties. He pulls my nipples as he keeps sliding down. The sensation causes me to pull against the ropes, but I don't break free. As he squeezes my tittes, his dick finds my pussy. He makes me look him in his eyes as he pushes in. I pull against the ropes again, and he laughs. Using my titties for leverage, he pounds his dick in my pussy. His grip gets borderline painful, but it feels too good for me to tell him to stop. He explodes in me, giving me an orgasm. Now I'm sure he's about to untie me, but he climbs back up to suck my nipples. Just as his sucking is feeling real good, I feel a tongue on my pussy. I lift my head, but can't see through Bret. The tongue expertly licks my lips, then sucks them. I lay my head back and groan. I feel the lips encircle my clit, and I look up again. Bret is gone. The mouth on my pussy belongs to Grier. The straps were gone, and I grab his hair with both hands. He crawls to the edge of the bed and between my legs. As he sucks my clit, I hump his face. I feel his tongue slide inside, and ride it to an orgasm - but he doesn't stop.
Grier started kissing my parted thighs just above the knees on the inside, as his hands caress the outsides of my hips, which start rotating. His hands moved over my abdomen, and kept moving higher until they were on my titties, "You have such delicious breasts."
"I'm glad you like them," I moaned.
"I've dreamed about them since you moved in. Long before you even got pregnant. You just don't know how much I've fantasized about having them in my hands," he squeezed.
"They're yours now."
His hands grasped my titties, and pinched your nipples.
His mouth found its way back to my clit, and he whips it with his tongue.
I scream out in pleasure, and my eyes pop open. I sit up and try to catch my breath; my panties are at the corner of the bed, and Bret's tank top isn't hiding my breasts. Grier is looking at me with a smile. I wait for him to fade away, or for the phone to wake me up – but neither happens. "Are you real?"
He looks confused, "Shhhhh."
I grab the sheet to pull it up, "Are you really in my room? What are you doing?"
He moves up higher to get back to my pussy, "Licking. Squeezing."
My body continues responding.
One of Grier's hands comes off my breast and he slides two fingers inside me.
"Is that your G-spot?" he presses against it again, and slides them in and out while licking my clit in rhythm. His other hand is still caressing and squeezing my titties, and pinching the nipples.
I move my hips to get his fingers deeper.
He increases his pace; licking my clit and stroking my G-spot faster.
"Oh, here I cum!"
He pushes his face deeper in my pussy when he feels my hips shaking.
I grab his head with both hands.
He lightly bites my clit, then grinds his tongue into my pussy and pinches my nipple harder.
"YESSSSSS!" My muscles contract for about a full minute, then I fall back when my orgasm ends – totally out of breath.
"Holy macirole! It looks like you pee'd the bed!
"I'm still too out of breath to respond.
He starts kissing his way up from my stomach, to my breasts and nipples.
"Wait. How'd you get in here?"
"Does it matter?" he keeps kissing and nibbling my hard nipples; his hard dick bumping my pussy.
"Stop, you know I'm married."
"Can't stop now; you're too sexy."
I try to fight the good sensations he's giving me, "Wait."
"You didn't mind my tongue and fingers a few minutes ago."
"I thought I was dreaming!"
He moves up to kiss my neck, "You know that was no dream."
"No, I didn't - not at first."
"You did at the end and you didn't stop me."
"Shhhhhh." He pulls his shirt over his head, revealing his gray-haired chest. Then he rolls on top of me, supporting his weight on his elbows so his hands can play with my titties.
"Oohhhhhh shit, don't do that."
"Shhhh. You know you love it."
My body starts squirming when I feel the underside of his dick against my clit. He stops moving, and lets me move my clit against him. "Bret will kill us."
"So will my wife – I mean, would my wife."
I looked at him. "Was she your last?"
"Ten years."
"Thought you said she's been gone seven years?"
"Do you think she was up for sex those last three years she was sick?"
"There was nobody else; even since."
"I feel for you about that, but..."
"Do you even realize that your legs are opening wider right now?"
I'm shocked that he's right, "No they're not." I try to close them, but his body is between them.
"He'll never know," he slips his dick into my pussy.
I put my hand on his chest to push him back, but the hairs feel good between my fingers.
"That's it Baby. Oh yes, let me in," he starts to move in and out of me.
"Wait," I groan.
"Feel the pleasure baby."
One of my hands stays on his chest, and the other moves down his side to his ass.
He strokes long and deep inside me. Not as good as Bret, but who he is and hold old his is makes it feel good. As best he can, he grinds in me with each thrust. "Your pussy is so wet and tight baby. You feel so good."
I put both arms around his neck, "Don't say that."
"Fuck me baby." He speeds up, "Give me your cum."
I groan and follow his directions.
He leans his head down and sucks my nipples.
I hump harder, and faster. I lift my legs around his waist to take him deeper.
"That's it! Help me pound that gorgeous pussy of yours!
Those words send a chill through me.
Grier lifts his head, and starts fucking me faster and faster until he is slamming into me. As my orgasm ends, his body starts jerking. "Shit!!"
When I feel his cum spurting in me, I realize he didn't have on a condom. I push him off me, "YOU CAME IN ME? YOU BASTARD!"
He reaches over and massages my clit, "You liked it."
"I'M MARRIED," I push his hand away.
"You also can't get pregnant again!" He rubs it again, "I knew from the way you walked down the street when I watched you that you'd be a good fuck. You are so hot and sexy; even more so being pregnant.
"I don't believe I just did this. I don't believe I'm sitting here letting you rub me like this."
"I don't either, but I'm not going to stop. And, given that you still haven't closed your legs, you don't want me to."
I shook my head, "You still haven't told me how you got in here."
"You had a delivery that needed to be signed for. I saw him leaving your door with the package, and told him I hadn't seen you leave. I signed for it, then knocked on the door myself. I thought you might be in the shower, so I waited about a half hour, then came over here again. When you didn't answer, I let myself in – Bret told me where you hide a spare key."
He keeps rubbing as he continues, "I saw you in bed; wrapped in the sheet, partially exposed. You were dreaming. I didn't resist my urge to look at you. Matter of fact, I pulled the sheet down. Your panties were off, and your nipples were showing around the tank top. You looked beyond sexy laying there. I felt my dick stir like it hadn't in a while. I dropped my pants to stroke it. Then you called my name."
"I did not!"
"You did!"
I reach over to answer the ringing phone, "Hi, baby."
"How are you feeling? You're not out of breath this morning."
"I'm fine, and the baby is fine."
"Did you have another dream?"
I gave Grier a look to tell him to stop rubbing me, but he didn't. "Um, yeah – I think. It's not real clear."
"Okay. I'm about to go into the meeting. Call me if you need me, and remember that Grier is there to help."
"I love you, Bret. I really do."
"I love you more," he hung up
"You've got to leave."
"Look at this dick. See what you've done to it?"
I try not to, but I see it swelling again. "What, did you take Viagra this morning?"
"I want you."
I shake my head, "Grier."
He pushes me back on the bed and climbs over me. "We both want this," he kisses my neck.
"Wait - get off for a minute!
I push him off me, and get off the bed. So many thoughts are going through my head. Why have my dreams been so vivid, and raunchy? Why can't I get enough of Bret? Why am I telling Grier 'no', when I've always thought he was a handsome man? I quiet them all, until I only hear my hear racing. I go to my nightstand and dig out a condom. I hand it to Grier, then climb on the bed with my ass up.
"Oh baby, I love this ass!"
I feel him thrust in, then see him toss the unopened condom on the bed.
"It's too late for that now anyway."

Whether it's a sign of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer or simply of more effective segmentation by retailers and package-goods marketers, it's a paradox with an increasingly pronounced effect on the industry.
As consumer frugality holds its ground in a world of plenty, package-goods companies are paying more attention to consumers bypassed by the prosperity of recent years. They're tailoring some products to dollar store consumers and finding price increases hard to sustain in some cases, despite rising raw material costs.
Dollar stores' growing impact on the package-goods industry stems largely from decisions by major players in the channel within the past two or three years to dramatically change merchandising emphasis from a mix of roughly 70% soft lines and 30% package goods to one that roughly reverses those numbers, according to one consultant for the dollar store industry who asked not to be named.
As in most areas of package goods, Wal-Mart Stores has been a major factor in the shift. Growth of Wal-Mart supercenters and mass merchandise outlets has forced many independent food stores and five-and-dimes out of business in small towns and rural communities, leaving a void that dollar stores increasingly have filled.
As a result: Wal-Mart and dollar stores have an almost symbiotic relationship. The more thinly populated the county, the higher the household penetration rates for dollar stores, according to Todd Hale, senior VP-consumer analytics for ACNielsen Corp. That pattern mirrors the household penetration rates for Wal-Mart and other mass merchandisers.
Dollar General Corp. now has more than 4,700 stores, up more than 400 from last year. Family Dollar Stores, with more than 3,600 stores, has opened more than 200 in the past year. And Dollar Tree Stores, with 1,677 stores, is on pace to open roughly 200 more in the next year.
Sales growth similarly is strong. Family Dollar sales were up 13.9% to $3.1 billion for the fiscal year ended Aug. 26; stores open at least a year were up 5.2%. Year-to-date sales for Dollar General were up 14.7% to $2.8 billion for the 35 weeks ended Sept. 29; sales for stores open at least a year were up 0.8%. And Dollar Tree's sales were up 29% to $1.1 billion for the nine months ended in September; same-store sales in the third quarter were up 5.3%.
With combined sales less than $9 billion annually, the three are a drop in the bucket compared to Wal-Mart's $183 billion. But dollar stores are a growing factor, particularly in such categories as laundry detergents and household cleaners. Dollar stores' share of each category grew by more than 30% in 1999 to about 3%, according to ACNielsen.
While moving from a 2.7% to 3.1% share in detergents may not seem dramatic, annual detergent product group sales total nearly $8 billion, Mr. Hale said. "Capturing an additional four-tenths of a percentage point of share shifts nearly $32 million to the dollar store channel," he said. "This channel is more than nibbling away at some of the other channels; it's taking a significant bite."
The dollar store channel already has a similar share in detergents and cleaners to that at drugstores, and helped take share away from mass merchandisers and warehouse outlets in such categories as batteries and school supplies last year, according to ACNielsen figures based on research conducted with its panel of 55,000 consumers nationally.
While neither ACNielsen nor Information Resources Inc. has scanner data for dollar stores, Mr. Hale said client demand is driving them to try to develop systems to track sales there.
Key to dollar stores' success is offering a limited assortment of brands, strong private-label programs and simplified pricing structures generally rounded off in dollar increments and offering in many cases genuine savings over prices even at Wal-Mart, said Burt Flickinger, managing partner of Reach Marketing, a Westport, Conn., consultancy.
"The dollar channel is going to be extremely significant, and a channel that Wal-Mart is concerned about, because wealth on Wall Street isn't translating into prosperity on main street," he said. "Every year for the past eight years a million Americans have filed for personal bankruptcy. And 67% of the country had household incomes of $35,000 or less. You've got 35 million Americans one medical emergency away from personal bankruptcy."
Such factors as rising energy costs also fuel dollar store growth, he said, since most of the stores serve areas more than 5 miles from a supermarket or mass merchandise store.
Mr. Hale believes Wal-Mart could easily counter the dollar store threat by rolling out more of its smaller-format neighborhood stores.
But whatever the ultimate outcome, package-goods manufacturers are taking notice of the channel's growth. Just as it forged a partnership with then-fledgling Wal-Mart in the 1970s and '80s, P&G has paid special attention to Dollar General, too, devoting a 10-12 member sales and marketing team to the chain, according to an industry consultant.
At the request of Dollar General and other dollar stores, P&G began offering a non-concentrated version of its Dawn liquid dish detergent two years ago that has made the chain the No. 2 outlet for the brand nationally behind Wal-Mart. Colgate-Palmolive followed suit last year with a non-concentrated version of its Palmolive and Ajax brand liquid soaps for the dollar stores. The dollar stores also sell concentrated versions, but poorer customers appear to see more perceived value in the unconcentrated versions that give them more ounces for their dollar.
As P&G restaged its Pantene haircare line as higher-price Pantene Pro-V Essentials earlier this year, the company also maintained the original formulation and packaging for the brand for its dollar store customers.
"You will see Dawn, Tide, Pantene and Folgers on the shelves in those stores," a P&G spokeswoman said. "Our goal is to make sure our brands are available everywhere, and we recognize the growth in that venue. We've done our own research and we've found that consumers in households that make $35,000 or less a year still want premium performance. No matter how much they have to spend, they want to make sure they're getting a good value."

..and who am I to disagree? I've certainly travelled the world and the seven seas (subconsciously from the comfort of my own bed). Everybody's looking for something, and I've certainly encountered a hell of a lot of people while recording my nocturnal imagery. Some of them want to use me, and some of them do indeed want to be used by me. Unfortunately some of them want to abuse me but I've yet to encounter anyone who wants to be abused so that's where the song reference ends. The word 'Eurythmics' actually means 'A system of rhythmical physical movements' by the way so it would be perfect if I did indeed move about in my sleep.
For the best part of the last 6 weeks I've been recording the noises made at night, and the results so far are, well, less than expected unfortunately. The dreams themselves are still being written down in excruciating detail and are slowly gathering in a large pile of A4 paper on my desk that will soon need its own postcode. So it's slightly disappointing to find out that whilst encountering some of the most beautiful, intriguing, incredibly detailed, disturbing, and at times just plain weird scenes that wouldn't look out of place in a John Carpenter or Stephen King novel, the conscious efforts and sounds are little more than some rapid breathing or, in most cases, total silence.
What I have discovered however, is that the people who live around me do keep some strange hours and the walls get pretty thin in the middle of the night when there's little to no background noise. Doors, car engines, dustbin wagons, birds, wind (not always just my own), rain, thunder and even someone doing the washing up at 11.30 at night have been known to make an appearance.
I keep repeating the morning ritual though, in hope that one day there'll be something exciting to show for a crazy night of dreaming. The recording is copied over to the computer for further studying (using a free program called Audacity - pretty nifty software) and poured over meticulously by yours truly with a set of headphones on and a diary to hand. The notes themselves are being uploaded daily to my webspace for more of a backup purpose than public viewing, but if you're interested they're here.
The actual dreams themselves are still in the process of being typed up - I'm about halfway through doing them. My plan is eventually to turn them into a screenplay format with cast lists and scene descriptions so they're not ready just yet, but just as an example of how incredibly detailed and vivid they are, here's the "cast list" from last night's epic 8-page thriller:
- A poodle
- A receptionist
- A policeman
- A drunk
- Three of my friends from Kalgoorlie
- A bunch of strangers taking photographs
- A woman that I work with
- A bloke I work with
- Another bloke I used to work with
- Mum
- Dad
- My Stepmother
- My sister
- My sister's friend
- My teacher from secondary school
- A barmaid
- My great-aunt
- An airline pilot
- 3 Crocodiles (no, really)
- Angelina Jolie with a chainsaw (yeah that one really confused me)
..and that was all in one night. There must be someone out there that can make sense of all this garbage and help me interpret what's going on, or whether an appointment as an outpatient to the local funny farm is required.

JERUSALEM, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Israel's surprise rate cut appears to have come from a confluence of a rising shekel meeting a weakening economy.
The central bank on Monday lowered its benchmark interest rate to 2 percent from 2.25 percent. All 12 economists polled by Reuters beforehand had expected unchanged rates for a fourth straight month.
The cut was particularly surprising given that the Bank of Israel had expressed concern over rising housing prices, according to the minutes of its September 24 rates decision.
Indeed, the Bank of Israel's own economists had forecast no rate changes through 2013. Most attention was being paid on the strength of the economy rather than of the currency.
But the shekel has been appreciating. It reached 3.81 per dollar by mid-October from a level of 4.02 at the start of September. It has since moved back to a rate of 3.90 but the Bank of Israel is opposed to a strong currency since it harms Israeli exports.
Exports account for more than 40 percent of Israel's economic activity.
``The Bank of Israel has a strong preference to avoid currency appreciation,'' said Citi's David Lubin. ``It is possible that the Bank of Israel would like its rate to be as low as possible to discourage foreigners from developing an appetite for the shekel.''
When the shekel has strengthened in the past few years, the central bank has countered with heavy dollar purchases that totalled some $50 billion.
One of the main reasons the central bank had stayed on hold since cutting rates last in June is the resiliency of the economy. The bank last month raised its 2012 economic growth forecast to 3.3 percent from 3.1 percent.
But it lowered its 2013 estimate to 3 percent from 3.4 percent. And in the past month, various consumer and business surveys signalled economic weakness ahead, while the purchasing managers' index has held below the 40 point level for two months, indicating contraction in the manufacturing sector.
The central bank also stressed that the absence of a budget due to early elections in January would harm the economy early next year since government spending will be restrained.
``This move increases the likelihood of fiscal consolidation and tighter fiscal policy,'' said Murat Ulgen, HSBC's chief economist for central and eastern Europe. ``In the first two to three months of 2013, until the 2013 budget is approved, government spending will be severely restrictive. This allows the Bank of Israel to run a more expansionary monetary policy.''
At the same time, the central bank is not worried about inflation, with the annual inflation rate at 2.1 percent in September - within an official 1-3 percent target.
It also addressed the issue of rising housing prices by limiting mortgages -- a move that most analysts doubt will work.
``The Bank of Israel have decided that the risks to the inflation outlook are sufficiently benign that they can afford to buy a little extra insurance against further downside risks to growth,'' said Deutsche Bank Chief Economist Robert Burgess.
But he was not expecting more.
``Monetary policy is now very accommodative and .. We think the Bank of Israel will revert to a holding pattern,'' he said.

Simply place the correct number of Bóveda packets inside your humidor to maintain a precise relative humidity. The number of Bóveda packets to use depends on the cubic volume of the humidorregardless of how many cigars are actually stored inside. As a guide, use one Bóveda packet for every 25 cigars the humidor can hold. For example, a 50-count humidor would need two Bóveda packets; a 75-count humidor would need three Bóveda packets, and so on. The only exception to this guideline is for a small 25-count humidor where a minimum of two packets is still needed due to surface area and volume.

I love astrologer Caroline W. Casey's advice, "Believe nothing, entertain possibilities." Love it. LOVE. IT. Recently, this idea has been bringing to mind the phrase "seeing is believing". (Yes dear reader, I am indeed profoundly fond of aphorisms, thanks for noticing.)
Now follow me down this side-path for just a moment:
Have you ever head the phrase "curiosity killed the cat"? If so, it was likely within the context of trying to dissuade a curious person – as in, don't be a fool. Well actually, the full phrase goes more like, "curiosity killed the cat and satisfaction brought it back". (This connects to the cats-having-nine-lives thing and is vaguely alchemical, but anyway!) So basically, this saying was intended to encourage curiosity – not extinguish it. This is a lovely example of humanity's game of Telephone. So please, let's all be Fool's and try not to take everything so seriously.
Back to our regularly scheduled (hahaha jk) programming:
The meaning behind 'seeing is believing' can swing in polar directions. You have the capitalist empiricist version which is all about what the eyeballs are capable of perceiving, what the hands are capable of physically touching – all about concrete, re-producible proof. In this way, all critical thinking and spiritual meaning is null and void. If you see it, there it is, no argument, piece of cake, that's reality, bam done. In this way, 'seeing is believing' smashes the multi-dimensionality of existence & experience into a flat pancake of unquestionableness.
However, this phrase can also take on a powerfully philosophical and spiritual meaning. Seeing pertains to the eyeballs & brain when taken directly and concretely – but language is oh so much more than that, and so is the concept of seeing. Think of when someone explains a riddle to you, and your response is "Oh, I see!"
Seeing can refer to understanding, comprehending, realizing, 'putting two and two together'. Taken with this broader idea of seeing, the phrase 'seeing is believing' refers to a critically-questioned spirituality and/or personal philosophy. Instead of swallowing scripture dogmatically, this is the process of "entertaining possibility", this is taking a spiritual lesson and testing it in the fires of experience to really see how it works. Only after seeing, after personally experiencing, do you truly believe – like, in opposition to blind faith.
In this way, instead of tacitly agreeing with how others explain life, "seeing is believing" encourages a questioning outlook where life is a series of adventures to be tasted and tested and navigated via our own [personal, unique, intersectional] sight.

This is important information for Everything (especially for the Everything Copyright Problem), because the length of time a work is protected by U.S. copyright often depends on this; the term is currently 95 years after publication, but see below. The exception is for works created by a single author, and not made for hire for some company; the copyright on these works lasts 70 years after the author's death.
However, the law establishing this copyright term only went into effect on October 27, 1998, a day that will live in infamy, for it essentially established that no more material would enter the public domain for another 20 years.
Before this date, the term was 75 years after publication or 50 years after death for single-author works not made for hire.
As a result, only compiled or hired works published before October 27, 1923 and works produced by single authors who died before October 27, 1948 are in the public domain.
Note that this is why we can have the full text of Webster 1913 here; it became public domain in 1988.

One of the most unusual players in Major League Baseball was Rickey Henderson. Not the least of his uniquenesses was "Rickey-Speak." He once framed a million dollar check because he thought it was cool. (The organization had to call him to tell him to cash it!) Here are a few samples of his oddities:
In 1996, Henderson?s first season with San Diego, he boarded the team bus and was looking for a seat. Steve Finley said, ?You have tenure, sit wherever you want.? Henderson looked at Finley and said, ?Ten years? Ricky?s been playing at least 16, 17 years.?
This one happened in Seattle. Rickey struck out and as the next batter was walking past him, he heard Henderson say, ?Don?t worry, Rickey, you?re still the best.?
Rickey once asked a teammate how long it would take him to drive to the Dominican Republic.

"Government should grow at the same rate as the economy," according to Christopher "Kit" St. John, executive director of the Maine Center for Economic Policy, speaking in opposition to TABOR II at Policy Soundings, a forum for state and national issues.
It seems to reflect a deeply held belief that government is entitled, in equal proportion, to the fruits of our labor. The more we make, the more our government deserves.
If government grew at the rate of inflation and population, it might be more reasonable – but pegging growth in government to the growth of the economy assumes we want government to grow rather than demanding that it be more efficient and less costly.
People who are creatures of government argue that the government is us and, therefore, what is yours is theirs. That's understandable coming from the donors who oppose TABOR II. They rely on government for their livelihoods: The Maine Municipal Association, Maine's state employee union, the teacher's union, companies with state contracts, etc. They are simply protecting their self-interest.
As the vote on TABOR II approaches, members of the Appropriations Committee have been doing a good job closing the gap between tax revenue and state spending. They have shed more than $500 million in expenses – but more work needs to be done. They now have to find another $200 million to cut, or they'll need to raise taxes.
That's why the outcome of TABOR II is so important to both sides of this debate and why we all need to do our homework.
Five years ago, voters approved a law called LD 1 that made three promises to control spending and lower taxes:
First, state government would pay for 55 percent of the cost of local kindergarten-to-grade 12 education. That hasn't happened.
Second, municipalities and school districts were expected to reduce property taxes from those savings once they didn't have to pick up the entire tab for education. That, too, hasn't happened.
Third, the Legislature and governor would not increase state spending from the General Fund beyond a specified formula. This is the one promise that was kept.
State and local governments share the blame, but the real failure of LD 1 was that it had no teeth to ensure property tax relief. Also, the limit is only for the state's general fund. Other categories of spending have no cap. Voters trusted their elected officials to do the right thing and it didn't happen.
Here are some data points. From 2000 to 2006, state government spending increased by 34 percent. Personal income for state employees grew by 31percent, but personal income in the private sector grew by only 22 percent. The average income in the private sector in 2006 was $35,614. The average income in state government was $42,411.
TABOR II is about control. It says that elected officials have to ask permission from the voters if they want to increase spending or taxes beyond prescribed limits. If the voters reject the request, then elected officials are forced to make choices and set priorities within the limits.
Here's an example of how it would work: When voters were asked last fall if they supported the new beverage tax to fund the Dirigo Health Plan, they said no. However, a majority of the Legislature then went ahead and added a 2.14 percent tax onto our health-care services to fund the failing plan. They didn't have to ask permission, they just added the tax. They would have had to ask permission under TABOR II.
Also on the ballot is a proposal to reduce the state's vehicle excise tax.
While towns brace for cuts in state revenue-sharing and more unfunded mandates, the proposed excise tax reduction will simply compound the pressure on local governments. Unlike the state with its many revenue sources, towns primarily have the property tax and the excise tax for revenue. Data shows that 99 percent of excise taxes go directly to town road maintenance budgets. If the excise tax is reduced, then towns will either cut other municipal services or raise the property tax – or do some of both.
In Maine, 68 percent of vehicles are more than 5 years old and, therefore, those owners will not realize any savings if the excise tax is reduced. The savings are realized only for new and late-model vehicles, while hybrid vehicles are charged nothing for the first three years.
The fate of TABOR II and the excise tax are now in your hands. Think about the role and cost of government and then make an informed decision on or before Nov. 3. Also, ask your state legislators how they come down on these two issues. It may surprise you and will definitely inform you.

Believe it or not; there are many good hiking spots in Kansas City. I've recently been wandering the trails of Shawnee Mission Park. I started with the dog park trails, for obvious reasons. My last adventure was the South Shore trail
Sadly, I was not able to hike the whole 3 miles; we recently had a major storm and the trail was really just a mud bath. I desperately wanted to play with our new Canon however, and the weather was beautiful.
I cannot speak much to the quality of the trail on a normal day. Or to the adventures that await further down the trail. But I can speak to (more like show) some of the beauty I was able to bare witness too.
Of course, some time near water is always worth the hike too. Glad to start getting some practice with the new camera before our upcoming trip!

Back to Main Page / Back to List of Rules
Rule 89. Transferred If Plea Is Sustained (1943)
If a plea of privilege is sustained, the cause shall not be dismissed, but the court shall transfer said cause to the proper court; and the costs incurred prior to the time such suit is filed in the court to which said cause is transferred shall be taxed against the plaintiff. The clerk shall make up a transcript of all the orders made in said cause, certifying thereto officially under the seal of the court, and send it with the original papers in the cause to the clerk of the court to which the venue has been changed. Provided, however, if the cause be severable as to parties defendant and shall be ordered transferred as to one or more defendants but not as to all, the clerk, instead of sending the original papers, shall make certified copies of such filed papers as directed by the court and forward the same to the clerk of the court to which the venue has been transferred, as above provided for, the same will be subject to trial at the expiration of ten days after the mailing of notification to the parties or their attorneys by the clerk or any party or his attorney that the papers have been filed in the court to which the cause has been transferred.
Amended by order of June 16, 1943, eff. Dec. 31, 1943.
|Prior Amendments
|Future Amendments
|Oct. 29, 1940, eff. Sept. 1, 1941
|June 15, 1983, eff. Sept. 1, 1983
Question: Rule 89 provides that upon a court's sustaining a plea of privilege, the case should be transferred to the proper court, while Article 2019 provided that the case should be transferred to the court having jurisdiction of the person of the defendant, and Article 2020 provided that the venue should be changed to the proper court of the county having jurisdiction of the parties and the cause. Under Rule 89 may a court, upon sustaining a plea of privilege, transfer a case to a court which has jurisdiction and exclusive venue under the law, but which is not situated in a county which is the residence of the defendant?
Answer: Yes – In the opinion of the Committee, the court hearing the plea of privilege may transfer the case to a court having jurisdiction and exclusive venue of the case regardless of whether the defendants reside in such county or not.
If, for instance, a trespass to try title was filed in a county where non of the defendants reside and in which the land was not located and several of the defendants residing in different counties should file pleas of privilege, the court should transfer the case to the District Court of the County where the land was situated, even though none of the defendants resided therein.
8 Tex. B.J. 559 (1945).

The Omaha Police Officers Association recently published a disturbing video of a black toddler cursing on camera and titled it "The Thug Cycle."
The video captures a young black boy in diapers using profanities, racial slurs and sexual comments as several adults can be heard in the background encouraging the young boy to say such obscenities.
At one point, the adults are heard laughing off-camera and telling the child, "You a h** n****" in which the toddler responds, "You a h** b****." During another moment, the child is seen holding his middle finger to the camera.
Excerpt from the Omaha Police Officers Association website:
"We here at OmahaPOA.com viewed the video and we knew that despite the fact that it is sickening, heartbreaking footage, we have an obligation to share it to continue to educate the law abiding public about the terrible cycle of violence and thuggery that some young innocent children find themselves helplessly trapped in," the post reads.
