Skip to comments.Obama: Limited Gov't That Preserves Free Markets 'Doesn't Work. It Has Never Worked'
Posted on 09/03/2012 7:16:24 AM PDT by Son House
In a speech delivered at Osawatomie High School in Osawatomie, Kansas, on Tuesday, President Barack Obama argued that while a limited government that preserves free markets "speaks to our rugged individualism" as Americans, such a system "doesn't work" and "has never worked" and that Americans must look to a more activist government that taxes more, spends more and regulates more if they want to preserve the middle class.
"'[T]here is a certain crowd in Washington who, for the last few decades, have said, lets respond to this economic challenge with the same old tune. 'The market will take care of everything,' they tell us," said Obama. "If we just cut more regulations and cut more taxes--especially for the wealthy--our economy will grow stronger.
"Sure, they say, there will be winners and losers," Obama continued. "But if the winners do really well, then jobs and prosperity will eventually trickle down to everybody else. And, they argue, even if prosperity doesnt trickle down, well, thats the price of liberty.
"Now, its a simple theory," said Obama. "And we have to admit, its one that speaks to our rugged individualism and our healthy skepticism of too much government. Thats in Americas DNA. And that theory fits well on a bumper sticker. But heres the problem: It doesnt work. It has never worked.
"It didnt work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depression," said Obama. "Its not what led to the incredible postwar booms of the 50s and 60s. And it didnt work when we tried it during the last decade. I mean, understand, its not as if we havent tried this theory.
"Remember in those years, in 2001 and 2003, Congress passed two of the most expensive tax cuts for the wealthy in history," said Obama. "And what did it get us? The slowest job growth in half a century. Massive deficits that have made it much harder to pay for the investments that built this country and provided the basic security that helped millions of Americans reach and stay in the middle class==things like education and infrastructure, science and technology, Medicare and Social Security.
"Remember that in those same years, thanks to some of the same folks who are now running Congress, we had weak regulation, we had little oversight, and what did it get us?" said Obama. "Insurance companies that jacked up peoples premiums with impunity and denied care to patients who were sick, mortgage lenders that tricked families into buying homes they couldnt afford, a financial sector where irresponsibility and lack of basic oversight nearly destroyed our entire economy.
"We simply cannot return to this brand of 'youre on your own' economics if were serious about rebuilding the middle class in this country," said Obama.
Did you get a ping to http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2896349/posts?page=221#221 ?
Trying to figure out where I'm at.
>>So, what next?
Read Romans 1:18++
"Because of this, God gave them over..."
such a system "doesn't work" and "has never worked"
i noticed he ignored all history before 1920.
...seems to me, things generally worked great,
until 1912, and the Constitution was fundementally changed.
Thanks for this post!
Your statement reminded of the first time I saw the movie "idiocracy".
I thought it was funny and clever... but highly improbable.
Now I wonder if the movie wasn't somewhat prophetic.
If you want to destroy America you have to go after the financial systems and foundational structures because capitalism and the tenants of Christianity are the backbone of this country. We are wildly successful because of this. Obama and his ilk are doing everything they can to KNOWINGLY tear apart this system.
Ignorant or not, progressives are evil prix for trying to dismantle the greatest, most successful economic and culturally advanced system in the HISTORY of the world. They must fail God willing and the crick don't rise!
First, you jug-earred moron. Even the poor in this country live better than many that would be considered middle-class in other countries. That's because of capitalism and because a rising tide lifts all boats higher. It's absolutely true. Obama and his ilk don't like the idea that people can make themselves better off by their own efforts, and therefore have more than those that didn't put forth the same effort. They don't want to admit that some live with less because of choices they made, and not because government and society were unfair to them.

"...the Weathermen, when not engaged in group sex, committed such revolutionary acts as parading with a Viet Cong flag through a local park on Independence Day and spray-painting the walls of a high school with the slogans, "Off the Pigs," "Viet Cong Will Win," and "F#$k U.S. Imperialism."..."

"What happens next bears watching closely, as does the response of the president, ex-Speaker Pelosi, and others on the left. Encouraged by leftists in the Democratic Party and funded by left-leaning nonprofit organizations and celebrity contributors, Occupy Wall Street may in time morph into something resembling the radical factions of the late 1960s and 1970s."
Obama's words fit the photo.
Americans must look to a more activist government that taxes more, spends more and regulates more.
Obama's got nothing but bad ideas bad mouth bad past.
BHF: "Like moths to the flame."
You're sure right. The human mind amazes me. How can people so completely separate the reality of their day to day interactions with others and government policy? No one, NO ONE, would let other people vote to redistribute what that person owns. It would be like comparing bank accounts before a party, and whoever has the most gets to pay. Yet, that's exactly what President Obama proposes for the economy.
My point about the argument being compelling is a very important one. There are people in Russia and East Germany today who would love to return to the days of the USSR. Those in power want a return to their lives of privilege at the expense of their comrades. Those who are unwilling to work for what they want hope for free stuff. It doesn't matter if they have to beggar their neighbor so long as they're taken care of.
I see it as the difference between adults and children. Leftists, in my opinion, are children, and just like children, they love fantasies. That's what President Obama proposes! In his world, no matter who you are or what you do you'll be taken care of. Food, shelter, a free education, etc. are yours simply by virtue of being born. You don't have to earn it. The community owes you!
I served for over two decades in the Cold War to defeat this wicked, but persuasive, ideology.
exactly, plus those college kids are away from parents and feel they have to fit in thus the lefty kooks and those who are employed there are very vocal and making it appear to be an outsdier if you have right wing views.
so much for diversity and tolerance hey .
"Sure, they say, there will be winners and losers," Obama continued. "But if the winners do really well, then jobs and prosperity will eventually trickle down to everybody else. And, they argue, even if prosperity doesnt trickle down, well, thats the price of liberty.
"Now, its a simple theory," said Obama. "And we have to admit, its one that speaks to our rugged individualism and our healthy skepticism of too much government. Thats in Americas DNA. And that theory fits well on a bumper sticker. But heres the problem: It doesnt work. It has never worked.

Ping for later
The Collapse of The American Dream Explained in Animation
My eight year-old understands it.
There are no words to express my intense hatred for Obama.
. . . But centrally planned economies work marvelously. Just ask what's left of the soviet union.
It may not be quite gone yet, but it's getting chillingly close.
This is definately not your father's America. A generation ago, this Marxist SOB would be lucky to sniff 20% of the vote.
The GOP should use this as their campaign ad. Just use Obama's own words.
I just read "Guns, Germs and Steel" which has a biological view of how a hunter-gatherer economy can yield to a farmer economy, and eventually to a manufactured goods economy, and governments suitable to each. There is a tendency for government to turn into kleptocracy, as all increases in productivity are claimed by the government. That is what wee are seeing in Obama. He wants all increases in efficiency to be funneled through him so he gets his cut.
If such increases in productivity are not restricted by government, people live better, and need less government. Obama and his minions live in reduced circumstances, such as minor but annoying members of of homeowner's associations.
Incredible statements by Zero. This is some good material for GOP campaign adds. Zero seems to be completely ignoring the huge, almost uninterrupted economic expansion starting in 1981 and running all the way to 2001 that was fueled by the Reagan tax cuts and policies of limited government by Reagan, Bush 41, and to a lesser extend by Clinton. Clinton's tax increases slowed the economy during his first term, but we were pulled out of that sluggish economy by one big factor: the initial build-out of the commercial internet starting in 1995. Without the internet boom we would have had another four years of sluggish economic growth in Clinton's second term.
This speech by Obama is filled with false and amazingly foolish statements by King Barry. The Romney/Ryan team should get some video or at least the text of this speech and start going through it to find statements that can easily be proven to be false by our economic history. There is some great material in this speech for Romney attack ads.
"Preserve the middle class" or create a proletariat?
Until the federal government forcing banks to lend to un-creditworthy individuals caused huge bundles of mortgages to become unmarketable, causing a massive implosion of the capital markets and the puncturing inflated real estate values, it worked just fine. Sabotaging the free markets with such hocus pocus gimmicks is what didn't work, and the Dems fought for that gimickery tooth and nail, and they still want more of the same. Destroying wealth is not redistribution of wealth, merely destruction.
"He is saying that government creates wealth and it redistributes it. He says you have to have both. Fascinating. I recommend it. Great story too."
Okay, I'm mystified as to why you say we may be missing the brilliance of Hugo who says that government CREATES WEALTH AND IT REDISTRIBUTES IT AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE BOTH. What the Hey? Just what brilliance are you referring to?
Maybe he really is looking forward to moving to Hawaii in a few months. He probably has billions of our money stashed away by now plus he can expect someone else to pay for his mansion by the sea and the taxpayers will furnish security service, free medical and a retirement check. For someone who really does not seem to like work at all we have to wonder what he gains by being reelected. Only an utter idiot could think that he would solve any of America's problems in another four years so why not dump it all on the GOP and then stand on the sidelines and piss and moan like a wounded Kenyan while being paid huge sums to read a teleprompter at some university for fools.
He has said this in the past, it's in dreams from my real father, on video!
RNC needs that video, with juxtaposed video of a little girl selling lemonade.
Keep switching back and forth, watching the girl smile making a sale, and Obama condemning her.
There are many citizens near to publicly proving publicly Obama was/is not eligible for POTUSA. If there was any support from anyone in the so called Republican party this guy would have been exposed long ago. I didn't notice Trump at the GOP convention and wonder if his to close to the truth didn't wash with the king makers. What I do wonder about is what happens when all the history comes out. I will bet there are a lot of untold even nefarious truths about Obama. Perhaps Obama will be a long way on his retirement to Kenya and not Hawaii. The Kenyans might even be a little disappointed if Obama retires to Hawaii and who knows what that might bring out in the open. Obama probably wouldn't be in a position of power to send two ships loaded with relief supplies to Kenya. Maybe perhaps his friends like Soros could still buy off the Kenyans one way or another. When such happens my disgust at the people old and young will make me vomit to look at them after looking at my WWII service records and the medals of my only brother killed on Okinawa.
Free markets allow greater participation by the People in the economy. Only a fascist would talk like this.
They suffer from moral insecurity.
This is pretty damn brazen, coming from one of the Perps of the First Part, talking about the housing bubble. He was ACORN's of-counsel in the New York case in the late 90's that forced banks to lend to uncreditworthy borrowers for the purpose of buying houses they couldn't afford.
This guy and the rest of his ACORN wrecking-crew were the trick-perpetrators, not the mortgage companies and banks.
It would not surprise me in the least bit to find out Obama DOES NOT work at all. I do not think he has an inkling what it means to be President, much less the duties which are involved.
The worst choice this country has ever made for head of state, and it was all done in the name of faux white guilt!
I think Barky must lie even in his dreams, when he's asleep. He keeps dragooning Theodore Roosevelt into the ranks of orthodox socialism and Marxism-Leninism to support himself and supply his dearth of American precedents. Consider this quote from Obozo's Osawatomie speech of last December:
Now, for this, Roosevelt was called a radical. He was called a socialist – even a communist. But today, we are a richer nation and a stronger democracy because of what he fought for in his last campaign: an eight-hour work day and a minimum wage for women, insurance for the unemployed and for the elderly, and those with disabilities; political reform and a progressive income tax. (Emphasis added.)
He made this same reference during his lying campaign for Obamacare: that Roosevelt in 1912 had campaigned on a platform of Medicare and Obamacare, and that it was up to us to "redeem" Roosevelt's visionary promise.
This was Barky cribbing a Rushmore president to be his stiff, his dime-store Indian testimonial, his (as boilerroom yaks say) "singer".
Whereas in fact Roosevelt's idea was actually much more akin to key-man insurance that has a disability-income or income-continuation plan, that compensates the employer for continuing to pay their disabled man. It was not Sovietcare or Obozocare or any other sovietizing health-insurance plan. Roosevelt never, to my knowledge, ever endorsed such a thing.
And he spat on Communists.
s But Barky knows you don't need to know that.
Is that your answer to every question? Please stop your spamming. This is a good thread and you are posting irrelevancies.
Actually big government crony protectionism was a large contributor to the depression.
"Its not what led to the incredible postwar booms of the 50s and 60s.
Is he suggesting that we use our air force to physically destroy the industrial infrastructure of our international competitors? That is, after all, what led to the post-war boom.
And it didnt work when we tried it during the last decade.
He can't seriously be suggesting that we had anything approaching free market capitalism with a low tax rate, can he? It's been about 100 years since we had anything like that.
"We didn't truly know the dangers of the market, because it was a dark market," says Brooksley Born, the head of an obscure federal regulatory agency -- the Commodity Futures Trading Commission [CFTC] -- who not only warned of the potential for economic meltdown in the late 1990s, but also tried to convince the country's key economic powerbrokers to take actions that could have helped avert the crisis. "They were totally opposed to it," Born says. "That puzzled me. What was it that was in this market that had to be hidden?"
How's that TARP over the A$$paper thing workin' out for ya?
See? If you aren't spamming, you're cursing at someone. Trying to be clever calling yourself stale tea? You might want to take a break and do something about that stomach ulcer, Earl.
A$$paper is the vernacular term used on Wall Street for the fraudulent AAA-—>Junk that was manufactured via the sub-prime securitization process.
TARP was the how that fraud was further redistributed.
How's that workin' out for ya?
You're nuts. How's that workin' out fir ya?
and apparently the government FORCING bajks to lend money to peopel to buy hosues they can't afford works according to whiny o? Freddie and Fannie will be the first to declare big government RUIINED them- then stepped i nand bailed them out with TAXPAYER money that hte taxpayers will NEVER see again- he left is spendign htis coutnry into oblivion, but this country doesn't realize it yey because the bill hasn't come due just yet- thanks to big government- they are running out of ways to STEAL more money fro mworkign class America to pay for buig government-
Who was Roland Arnall super genius?
I am printing this speech and distributing it to all that I can. I may tack it on telephone poles and say read what your communist President has to say about the USA and how we have thought and how we have run our Nation since it's beginning and weep, and vote him out.
Everyone tack this around the city you live in. Send it to everyone. Do our Conservative commentators know about this unbelievably anti USA, communistic speech??? This cannot be buried, but this speech must have accountability.
I am not exaggerating when I say that I think that Satan himself lives in this man.

Reigning champions Wales saw off a promising Italian side 23-15 thanks to tries from Alex Cuthbert and Scott Williams.
Reigning champions Wales saw off a promising Italian side 23-15 thanks to tries from Alex Cuthbert and Scott Williams.
Italy showed huge improvement from their substandard outings last November, exciting centre Michele Campagnaro grabbing a brace with two opportunistic tries.
History beckons for Wales; the objective of becoming the first side to complete a hat-trick of consecutive titles has been drilled into their squad over the last few weeks.
This, though, was an unconvincing performance. Wales worked harder in defence than attack and struggled to sustain phases going forward, although they did control the breakdown.
This is a special group of players without doubt, perhaps whose true destiny will be the Rugby World Cup next year, but they were worryingly flat in the second half.
Italy fielded their most experienced pack in Test history but had three 20-year-olds in the backline, still trying to find that balance between set-piece excellence and exciting back play. Judging by this game they appear to be leaning towards the latter.
Such was their decline at the back end of 2013 it was easy to forget they defeated both Ireland and France in last year's competition. Going against tradition, the Italian scrum struggled, but the backs were dangerous and exciting. Campagnaro at outside centre sparkled.
Two crucial lapses at either end of the first half though were Italy's undoing, highlighting the need for composure as well as plenty of enthusiasm. Wales are too good to cough those chances up. The Italian scrum disintegrated, Wales winning the penalties in that area and at the breakdown as the match wore on to secure victory.
Angelo Esposito endured every debutant's nightmare early on, rushing across to cover Rhys Priestland's grubber kick and missing it completely to allow Alex Cuthbert to scoop up and dive over in the corner with only three minutes on the clock.
Italy got on the board thanks to Tommaso Allan's simple penalty in an even opening quarter, Wales' supremacy at the breakdown just handing them the territorial advantage.
Halfpenny's 28th-minute strike opened up a 10-3 lead for the champions but Italy were dogged for large swathes of the first half, keeping the door shut on Wales and working hard to chase their kicks and put the hosts under pressure.
Sergio Parisse couldn't gather Edoardo Gori's clever cross-field kick for what would have been a impressive try as the Azzurri maintained their tenacious start.
It faltered just before the break – Scott Williams releasing Jamie Roberts to bust through Alberto Sgarbi's tackle before receiving the inside ball to go over, handing Wales a comfortable 17-3 cushion. Italy's energy and enthusiasm had worked against them as Sgarbi leapt out of the defensive line too soon.
Campagnaro bagged an excellent try for his first, his pass to Leonardo Sarto coming under scrutiny from the TMO but he raced after the winger's kick to bring Italy within nine points of the lead.
Italian rugby currently weighs on the shoulders of the 20-year-old Allan and his missed conversion and penalty were vital, particularly when Italy were enjoying the majority of possession.
Wales were left to soak up attacking waves and bide their time, Priestland nearly pouncing with a winding run to the corner only for his pass to find a man in blue rather than red.
Sam Warburton received a rousing reception following his introduction off the bench, political differences put to one side, as the Wales scrum continued to dominate in the eyes of the referee. It generated a second penalty for Halfpenny, helping Wales breath easier at 20-8.
Halfpenny's breathing was considerably less easy a few minutes later when Campagnaro pounced with an interception try, narrowing the deficit to five.
The Wales full-back though added another penalty – again won by great work from the hosts at the breakdown – to keep the Italians at arm's length. It was far from a masterclass from Wales, but a job done.
Man of the Match: With two tries and causing plenty of danger for the Welsh defence, Michele Campagnaro gets the nod for a very impressive performance in midfield.
Moment of the Match: A pick for Campagnaro again, with his interception of Halfpenny's pass seeing him streak away for a long-range try to narrow the scoreboard late on and leave Wales sweating.
Villain of the match: No real nasty stuff worth mentioning.

Red faction 2 two if a great realistic fantasy game that you can play on multiplayer for hours without stopping. The multiplayer is fun and doesn't get old easy. There are many levels in campaign mode that are fun and hard and will appeal to hardcore gamers. The story is great and you can really get into it and it starts out with telling you what the last game was about so you don't have to play the first on if you don't want to.
The multiplayer is cool because it has many different game modes and maps for you to play on and even know there is no online play if you have a friend it is fun. There are game modes like death mach and bag man and the classic capture the flag. You can set the game mode for an hour if you want.
The campaign is fun mostly because of the different types of levels. Some levels you fly in a helicopter some you are in a building or on a roof or even under water. The final twist is cool I won't tell you what it is but it is a happy ending. Bottom line game is fun and a classic in my eyes.

Kiobel, Subject Matter Jurisdiction, and the Alien Tort Statute
Anthony J. Bellia Jr.
Notre Dame Law School
Bradford R. Clark
George Washington University Law School
February 20, 2012
Notre Dame Legal Studies Paper No. 12-52
GWU Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2012-27
The Supreme Court is currently reviewing the Second Circuit's decision in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum, a case holding that federal courts lack jurisdiction under the Alien Tort Statute ("ATS") over claims against corporations. Although the parties have focused on issues of corporate liability under the ATS, there is a logically antecedent question of subject matter jurisdiction that the Court should decide before considering corporate liability. All of the parties in Kiobel — whether corporate or individual — are aliens. Understood in its full legal and historical context, the ATS was a jurisdictional statute that did not apply to suits between aliens. The First Congress enacted the ATS as a species of foreign diversity jurisdiction to satisfy the United States' obligation under international law to redress violence by U.S. citizens against foreign citizens. Accordingly, the ATS was originally understood to give federal courts jurisdiction only over claims by aliens against U.S. citizens for intentional torts to person or personal property. In Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain, the Supreme Court sought to interpret the ATS in accordance with the expectations of the First Congress. If the Court adheres to this goal in Kiobel, then it should conclude that it lacks statutory subject matter jurisdiction over the case. If the Court decides that the ATS does not apply to suits between aliens, then the Court likely will never have occasion to decide the thorny question of corporate liability under the ATS. Under the express terms of 28 U.S.C. §1332, federal courts already have jurisdiction over suits by aliens against U.S. corporations provided that the amount in controversy is greater than $75,000.00 — a condition easily met in cases against large corporations.

Keynote Address by Achim Steiner at the Opening Session of the High Level Forum on Forests and Climate Change for Development
Kinshasa, 10 October 2011 - Your Excellency, the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mr. Joseph Kabila,
Your Excellences the Prime Minister, Mr. Adolphe Muzito, the Minister of the Environment Nature Conservation and Tourism Jose Endundo,
Honourable Ministers, and members of the Government, of the National Assembly and of the Senate,
Director General Hans Brattskar from Norway, Representatives from DFID, EU, GIZ, Spain, Norway.
Distinguished guests from the World Bank, the African Development Bank, Commission des Forets d'Afrique Centrale (COMIFAC) Executive Secretary, Mr. Raymond Mbitikon; the UN Resident Coordinator, Mr. Fidele Sarassoro, and representatives of United Nations system and other guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
we meet here in Kinshasa in the UN's International Year of Forests; just over one month before the UN climate convention meeting in Durban, South Africa and some eight months before the Rio+20 conference in Brazil.
Forests- A Pathway to Sustainable Development
What links these key events to our discussions and discourse here in Kinshasa is how to deliver sustainability on a planet of close to seven billion people, rising to over nine billion by 2050.
What brings us together is a common vision that forests need to be at the centre of that response.
Across the developed world, forests have been depleted to provide timber for sailing ships and later to fuel the industrial revolution and steam engines-Europe lost 80 per cent of its forest cover from prehistoric times.
Today only one tenth of primary forest cover remains on the globe. Globally deforestation continues with some notable exceptions - yet here in the Congo River Basin either by default or design, the extraordinary forests of this region persist largely intact.
The challenge facing countries here is whether to pursue a development path that mines this formidable nature-based assets part of the urgency to lift people out of poverty and growth economies.
Or whether there is a more intelligent path that invests and re-invests in the forests of the Congo River Basin in order to accelerate a transition to a low carbon, resource efficient Green Economy-one that raises per capita incomes, catalyzes employment for young people but keeps humanity's footprint within planetary boundaries.
The evidence of the past few years is that this decision has already been taken-that the countries who are custodians of these vast ecosystems and multitrillion dollar services, have chosen sustainable management over unsustainable mining of these national, regional and indeed global assets.
In doing so, you have shown leadership not only on climate change but on a myriad of multiple challenges that can deliver opportunities to realize the poverty related Millennium Development Goals and meet targets from reversing biodiversity loss to conserving and enhancing water supplies.
In doing so, this region is making a deliberate and decisive contribution to an area of the global economy which supports the jobs and livelihoods of 1.6 billion people.
In Durban, UNEP will issue a series of posters on key climate related themes. Our headline for forests will be "Insurance Policy".
The journey countries of this region have embarked upon, is an insurance policy in terms of adapting to climate change and providing vital, global mitigation services -deforestation as we know accounts for around 18 per cent of current greenhouse gas emissions.
It is an insurance policy not just for this generation, but is an inter-generational insurance policy- two thirds of the planet's life forms inhabit forests.
This rich and varied treasure-trove of biodiversity and genetic resources will be part of this century's biological, industrial revolution that will mark a fundamental departure from those industrial revolutions of the past that were premised on clearing rather than conserving forest ecosystems.
Congo Basin-a Forest Partnership Unfolding
Your Excellency, the direction you have embarked upon is at its heart premised on partnership.
Partnership between the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Cameroon and indeed all the nations of this region.
It is also premised on a wider partnership, bringing in forward-looking developed countries such as Norway and the multilateral system of which UNEP is proud to be part.
It is also a partnership with science-sound science that is underpinning policy.
A partnership with transformational economics that is underlining the enormous value of nature which in the past was all but invisible in national and global accounts.
That science and these economics spotlight that the DRC alone hosts about half of Africa's tropical moist forests, and 50% of Africa's freshwater resources.
Up to 43 billion tons of carbon could be emitted from land use change in the DRC, equivalent to 4 years of worldwide emissions, under an old, one might say out-dated model of development.
REDD+-the Opportunity
One of the principle vehicles for catalyzing positive environmental change and sustainable development is the Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation initiative (REDD or REDD+).
The UN-REDD programme- involving UNEP, the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the UN-is now just over three years old.
The Programme currently has 36 partner countries spanning Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America, of which 13 are receiving support to National Programme activities to ready these nations for a fully-fledged REDD+ regime.
The importance of the forests of the Congo Basin was recognized in this partnership from the outset with other partners in Africa including Tanzania and Zambia. Discussions are also underway to bring Nigeria and the Republic of Congo into the programme too.
There will be those who might say that the programme, and parallel initiatives for example under the World Bank, could have moved further and faster in these brief intervening years.
But Your Excellency, honourable guests, ladies and gentlemen, it is perhaps better to manage the complexities of this bold initiative during this preparation period than afterwards.
REDD+, if it is to be sustainable over the long term, requests and requires all partners to fine tune the operations and ensure they it meet the highest standards of rigour.
That the emission reductions estimated are verifiable, well monitored and above all benefit the widest number of local and indigenous people.
We know from the past, that many well-intentioned initiatives in respect to forests and the wider environment have floundered not for want of enthusiasm but for want of prudent, in-depth planning and preparation.
DRC-Leadership on REDD+
That said, we are now seeing a real dynamism here in the DRC with the pace and scale of engagement moving ahead.
The DRC is, through the leadership of the Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Tourism, and the Coordination Nationale REDD, also making great strides in terms of outreach to local people, bringing the notion of partnership to the grass roots.
Through dialogue and stakeholder engagement, and the development of standards and safeguards, you are bringing an understanding of REDD+ and its potential to a wider public and in many ways demystifying its transformative aims and objectives.
Meanwhile, the DRC is also joining up the dots-making REDD+ part of Vision 2035, part of the Plan de Climat and the Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers.
In doing so Your Excellency, your country is embedding REDD+ and the sustainable management of forests in the very fabric of your current and future development goals rather than leaving them to the vagaries of some separate, stand-alone initiative.
In doing so, the DRC is assisting Africa in expressing its aims and charting its direction in terms of the upcoming and future climate negotiations.
Your experience in terms of operationalizing REDD+ here can also act as a learning curve for other countries in the Congo River Basin and beyond - a centre of REDD+ excellence.
Your Excellency, these important strides forward in respect to REDD+, clearly have several more steps to go before fully maturing.
The finalization of the national strategy, backed by a solid and cross-sectoral implementation framework, is benefiting from your personal, political leadership.
There is also leadership needed from donor nations to ensure sufficient and timely flows of funds support and extend the ambition of countries in this region.
Green Economy-the Wider Strategic Goal
But through the lens of REDD+, one can see the foundations of a broader evolution of the DRC economy and the economy of countries in the region into the Green Economy space.
A space that prizes not only investments in sustainable forestry, but in sectors such as sustainable transport to clean and renewable energies.
UNEP's Green Economy initiative estimates that if two per cent of global GDP is - with the right enabling policies - invested in ten central sectors, this could grow the global economy and generate at least the same if not more jobs than the 'old economy' yet without the shocks and disruptions of food to fuel price hikes being increasingly witnessed today.
The main and final report, to be launched in a few weeks in China in advance of Rio+20, underlines that the opportunities are as much for developing as for developed countries.
Indeed in many ways, countries on the continent of Africa are better placed than most, to seize this Green Economy opportunity and catalyze this shift.
Africa is now growing significantly and is developing new, rather than being challenged to retrofit old, infrastructure to meet the opportunities of a new century.
The boom in renewable energy globally, which in 2010 saw $2011 billion invested and more than in new fossil fuels, has only touched this Continent - yet I am sure that over the coming years and decades investors will be flocking in increasing numbers.
Why? Because policies here are changing and Africa has some of the highest wind, solar, biomass and other renewable potential.
Indeed, almost everywhere you look, countries in Africa are putting in place many of the elements that can green their economies.
Apart from REDD+ in the DRC, Kenya has taken a deliberate decision to pursue renewable energy rather than oil or coal via the introduction of a feed in-tariff.
Organic farmers there are seeing profits some three times higher as a result of premium prices for organic produce on global markets, while being less dependent on pesticides and man-made fertilizers and their impacts on health and the wider environment.
And there are many, many more examples. These are not just opportunities for the countries concerned; they are living Green Economy laboratories from which other African countries can benefit.
While REDD+ evolves here in the Congo Basin, what about other opportunities-from sustainable harvesting of non-timber forest products and sustainable and certified timber operations. New global markets including voluntary ones are emerging in respect to payments for environmental services.
A strengthened management capacity for DRC's protected areas could be part of developing a flagship ecotourism business while policies prioritizing gully and soil erosion protection measures in urban areas as they rapidly expand can be a contribution to safer and more sustainable cities.
Your Excellency, honourable guests UNEP and the UN system as a whole stands ready to support these transformations in the DRC and in Africa.
They represent not only a sustainable development direction but one that can allow more than 50 countries on this Continent to prosper in a peaceful way-and can send a clear and unequivocal conviction on how a family of more than 190 nations can cooperate to bring peace and stability in a complex world of competing demands.
Moving Forward at Durban En Route to Rio
As nations prepare for the Durban, UN climate negotiations, the developments here in the DRC offer an anti-dote to the frustration that many face when contemplating action on climate change.
Progressing REDD+ in Durban offers one positive outcome that can allow the global public to feel and to perceive that world leaders are shouldering their responsibilities to keep a global temperature rise under 2 degrees C by 2050.
And in doing so send a positive signal to the Rio+20 meeting in Brazil next June. The world is a very different place to what it was in 1992-geopolitically, economically, socially and environmentally.
The developments in the DRC and the Congo River Basin are part of that changed world.
Rio+20 needs to be a moment in history when governments cooperate and fast forward a route out of dilemma and distraction, towards a development path that embraces the realities and inordinate opportunities for a fundamental break from the past in order to break into a future of positive environmental, economic and social change.
The actions and activities here in the DRC point to how such cooperative efforts can be realized through a broad alliance of partners and a committed interest in pulling together in common cause.
Your Excellency,
I am sure there will be surprises and detours along the journey you are taking to realize a sustainable and peaceful DRC and a springboard and beacon for the Green Economy.
But the biggest risk of all is to stand still and exist in the comfort zone of the status quo - your country and your people are signaling by word and by deed that this is not the DRC's destiny and you are seizing a fresh and progressive future with both hands.

Gospel Reading
Document Actions
16th Saturday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to Matthew 24:1-13
At that time, the disciples came to Jesus to point out to him the buildings of the temple. But he answered them, "You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down."
As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?" And Jesus answered them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying 'I am the Christ, and they will lead many astray.' And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: all this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs.
"Then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and put you to death; and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. And then many will fall away, and betray one another, and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because wickedness is multiplied, most men's love will grow cold. But he who endures to the end will be saved."

The Tony Olejnik Leadership Service Award
Several years ago, the Leadership Service Award was established by the Board of Trustees to pay tribute to members of the faculty and staff who exemplify the university's core values of integrity, citizenship, continuous learning and excellence.
In 2004, the award was rechristened the Tony Olejnik Leadership Service Award in memory of a professor who served first on the faculty of George Williams College in Downers Grove, Illinois, and later as a member of the psychology department at Aurora University. During his many years of service, Tony distinguished himself as a colleague, mentor, teacher and friend. This award is presented on behalf of the Board of Trustees by the Provost.
The Marcus and Mark H. Trumbo Award for Excellence in Teaching
In 1976, the institution's most prestigious faculty award was established by Mark Trumbo, a former dean of Aurora College in memory of his father. Upon his own death years later, the award was renamed to recognize the accomplishments of both father and son. This award has served to recognize the finest work of Aurora University faculty in their roles as teachers, mentors, and transformative scholars. The university's chief academic officer presents the Marcus and Mark H. Trumbo Excellence in Teaching Award to a deserving member of the AU faculty at commencement. This year's recipient will provide remarks at the Honors Convocation next spring.
Presented to Recipients of the Bachelor's Degree
Distinguished members of the graduating class are eligible to receive a number of awards and honors, including the following:
Graduation Honors — Individuals with outstanding academic records will receive special recognition during the ceremony. Graduates completing their course of study with a minimum of 90 semester hours for a letter grade, of which 45 semester hours must have been earned at Aurora University will graduate with academic honors. Graduation honors requires the following cumulative grade-point average:
- Summa Cum Laude: 3.90 to 4.00
- Magna Cum Laude: 3.75 to 3.899
- Cum Laude: 3.50 to 3.749
Gold Ivy Leaf Award — For superior scholarship for those students who have completed a minimum of 90 semester hours at Aurora University and graduating with at least Magna Cum Laude honors.
Spartan Award — The Spartan Award is presented to a graduating senior who has made outstanding contributions to the life of the university. Students nominated should embody the university's commitment to character and scholarship. Selection criteria include at least two of the following categories:
- Leadership role(s) in a recognized student organization that demonstrates the rights and responsibilities of citizenship in an educational setting.
- Leadership role(s) in a recognized athletic field that serves others in continuous learning and improvement.
- Service to the community indicative of respect, fairness and ethical conduct.
Lincoln Laureate— Each year an outstanding senior from each of the four-year degree-granting institutions of higher learning in Illinois is awarded the Student Lincoln Academy Medallion and thereby becomes a Student Laureate of The Lincoln Academy of Illinois. Student Laureates are honored for their overall excellence in curricular and extracurricular activities.
Omicron Delta Kappa — Eligibility for membership in the National Leadership Honor Society is based on established national guidelines. Candidates must rank in the upper 35 percent in scholarship and must show leadership in at least one of five areas: scholarship; athletics; campus or community service, social and religious activities, and campus government; journalism, speech and the mass media; or creative and performing arts.
Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society — Eligibility for membership in the Freshman Honor Society is based on first time, full-time university attendance and a term grade-point average of 3.50 during the freshman year.
Honors Program — Aurora University's Honors Program requires of its members the completion of a course of study within each of the four years of the traditional undergraduate curriculum, combining honors coursework in general education, experiential learning in travel-study opportunities, and the completion of an advanced research project within the student's major field of study. Honors students maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 3.5 throughout their time in the program, and as seniors completing the program, students present their senior honors projects at Aurora University's Undergraduate Research Conference.
Dunham Scholars — This program seeks out a special kind of student, one chosen for his or her academic accomplishments, as much as for character, work ethic and potential. It is designed to ensure the success of American enterprise by providing a select group of unique and deserving students with an innovative academic experience that will prepare them to thrive and prosper in their communities and in a dynamic world environment.

really nice
"I decided to "treat" myself and get this as it is quite different from the few other designer bags I have. I love the chains. The price is really good (especially if you collect points). My only comment is that this bag doesn't have much structure so it can be a bit tricky to find things (although that is my problem with most bags). Overall, it looks great, isn't heavy, and has plenty of space."

"I realized this was vegan leather after I bought it and was worried I would be disappointed in the material, but it looks great in person and is really soft. The chain has a good weight to it also. My friend has the larger version of the bag, which has the extra chain, and the difference is slight. This one carries everything I need without looking overstuffed or out of shape."

After raids http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...sis-talks.html on UK farms in Wales and Yorkshire over them selling Horse produce as Beef produce all I can say is Da pigz must av da trotz.
I mean ok I know fraud is illegal but its an open secret that any value or economy burgers or ready meals that say beef on the packet have anything but beef in them it is blatantly cheaper than bee to use horse for burgers and people ought to thank therere lucky stars it was horse and not something worse as something http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-21430329 needed to fill the gap after new regulations http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddr...by-Europe.html on mechanically recovered meat in April 2012.
I am getting de ja vu http://www.allthingschristmas.com/fo...his-time-round I cannot help but cast my mind back to September 2010 when The Stig being unveiled as Ben Collins was a big frickin deal despite indifference when he was unveiled as Michael Schumacher an year earlier in 2009 as history seems to have repeated its self being that when Alex Rileys Really Disgusting Food found evidence that meat was not exactly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8RVNH5T4kk what it says on the packaging but I cant remember no where near the media storm that we are now facing today in 2013 compared to Alex Rileys finding back in 2009.
I have come to the conclusion that we have a very fickle media here in the UK, but considering serial killers such as Jack The Ripper and more recently Stacey Slater http://www.allthingschristmas.com/fo...Bradley-jumped who has not been brought to justice for the murder of Archie Mitchell are at large the UK police must have the trots if they are using therere resources to investigate an open secret like this.

That was the takeaway from yesterday's third annual Health and Wellness Expo of the Staten Island Economic Development Corporation, which was presented by City Councilman James Oddo and Staten Island University Hospital.
About 2,500 people visited the Hilton Garden Inn, Bloomfield, to participate in free screenings, attend workshops and seminars, view fitness demonstrations and gather information regarding all aspects of healthy living.
"We hope to get as many Staten Islanders as we can to embrace a healthy lifestyle," Oddo said during the morning keynote address.
"As we stand here today in 2011, the biggest threat to Staten Islanders' health and well-being happens to be Staten Islanders themselves," Oddo noted. "People can find it within themselves — no matter how long they've been sitting on the couch eating bonbons — they can at any age find the fortitude and wherewithal to reclaim their lives."
"Cancer has become so rampant and I live in a community where cancer incidence is higher than the other boroughs and mortality is higher," she said. "Like many Staten Islanders, I didn't really practice preventive medicine. I didn't see a physician on a yearly basis for a check-up."
Dr. Coomer urged borough residents to go for annual screenings, which can detect a problem before it worsens. She also encouraged lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and increased exercise.
Tony Books Avilez of Staten Island Slim Down offered a way for Islanders to take control of their health. The 10-week Slim Down initiative, which helped more than 1,200 Islanders lose weight last year, will be starting again in January.
Alfredo (Frado) Dinten of Todt Hill, a runner-up on Season 10 of "The Biggest Loser," gave several presentations throughout the day, offering advice to all ages. During one session, he spoke to 250 elementary school children about his weight-loss journey, recounting how he shed 162 pounds on the show.
"I learned a lot on the ["Biggest Loser"] ranch and it got me my life back. Maybe you can help someone you know, a family member, neighbor or friend to get moving," Dinten encouraged before engaging the children in a workout.
Islanders from all over attended the expo, where they perused offerings from more than 100 vendors in respect of everything from nutritional advice to information on conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
They also availed themselves of free health tests, including mammograms, hearing exams and screenings for high blood pressure, diabetes and glaucoma.
For Jeannette Stevenson of New Brighton, the expo was about bringing much-needed information about issues like diabetes and cancer to her community. "A lot of people, especially in my neighborhood, don't know about things like this," she said.
Jeannie Rowan of Sunnyside and Marie Garone of Grant City had their hearing examined and participated in osteoporosis screenings.
"If you start young and take care of yourself, down the line you won't have to worry about all these diseases, hopefully," Ms. Garone said. "I'm a big believer in prevention."
Overall, organizers called the event a great success — one they believe got their message across.
"This is the most successful Health and Wellness Expo to date," said Anthony C. Ferreri, SIUH president and chief executive officer. "Each year, the expo builds upon the prior year with more valuable and current information for all ages."

Do all of my investigators have to participate in Human Research Protection Training to be eligible to participate in this trial?
Yes. After January 1, 2007, no application will be processed if all of the investigators listed have not received Human Research Protection Training. It's easier to add that investigator to the trial after they have completed their training.
What if I'm missing one or two documents at submission? Can I still submit my application?
Yes. Please call the IRB office to notify them of the documents that will be missing. There are 2 ½ weeks between the IRB deadline and the IRB meeting. You will be required to have the missing documents to the office before the meeting. An approval letter will not be issued until all of the documents have been received into the IRB office.
What documents are required to be submitted with the application?
In addition to the completed application, you will be required to submit:
What if my potential participants are non-English speaking subjects?
Your Patient Informed Consent form will be required to be in the language of the potential participant. If a sponsor provides you with non-English materials, you will be required to submit both versions of the material (English vs. non-English) to Interpreter Services here at Mercy. They will provide you with a letter to submit with your application to the IRB. During the consenting process, we suggest that you use Interpreter Services.
Can I submit a signed copy of the sponsor's Financial Disclosure instead of having the investigators sign the one provided in the Application Packet?
No. At the present time CHI (Catholic Health Initiatives) requires that each investigator listed on the application sign the provided financial disclosure. One Financial Disclosure should be signed for every application submitted to the IRB office.
Am I required to have a co-investigator sign the application?
No. This area of signature is provided only in the case of an emergency. An example would be if it is the last day for submission and the Primary Investigator was out of town. A co-investigator could sign for him.
What is the Site Sponsor Information Sheet for?
From this sheet comes the information needed to invoice the sponsor company for IRB review fees. These fees are for review of the submitted trial. The fees are not for approvals and the sponsor company will be invoiced whether the trial is approved or not. Trials that are sponsored through the NIH, investigator-initiated or are part of a grant are not invoiced. Trials that are registries or Phase IV trials are invoiced $500. All other sponsored trials are invoiced $2,000.
Any study invoice that is not paid within 60 days will be placed on Administrative Hold. This means that the IRB will not place any further items (amendments, annual reports, etc.) on their agenda for that trial until the invoice is paid. The site and sponsor will both be notified on any trial being placed on Administrative Hold.

A group of Rockford natives made the decision to share their passion for fine beer and food with others in the form of a brewpub. Their home is the historic Prairie Street Brewhouse, an important part of Rockford's history and currently coming back to life as a mixed-use development. Home to the original Rockford Brewing Company, this building was one of the first breweries in the nation, pumping out over 75,000 barrels a year and its peak. Their shiny new 15-barrel brewery is the backdrop to Rockford's newest destination for handcrafted beer and food. They are proud and excited to bring this wonderful piece of Rockford history back to life and look forward to exceeding expectations.
It has become far too easy in our consumer culture for us to forget that coffee is a crop. This means that coffee is something that is grown by farmers; it requires workers to harvest, to mill, to dry, and a list of other tasks that happen well before those beans ever arrive to us. We believe if handled properly at origin, coffee has the potential to be respected and treated like a fine wine. We aim to bring in coffees that have been grown properly and responsibly. Quality sourcing is just the first step in our journey toward the best possible flavor in the resulting cups of coffee we make.
We are a 35 acre family owned orchard with approximately 5,000 apple trees. You have a choice of either picking your own apples, or purchasing the apples that we pick daily.

Titans Deal Brown To Jets For 3rd-round Pick Breaking News

Titans deal Brown to Jets for 3rd-round pick
By Len Pasquarelli
Finally completing a trade that had been rumored for weeks, the New York Jets on acquired runningback Chris Brown from the Tennessee Titans for a third-round choice in the 2007 draft, ESPN.com has learned.
Given the uncertainty over the availability of Curtis Martin, who is rehabilitating from knee surgery, the Jets considered a variety of options for bolstering their runningback depth chart. As recently as earlier Sunday, the Jets were still in discussions about a trade that would have brought them Bears backup runningback Thomas Jones in a deal that would have sent a 3rd round pick and a conditional pick in the 2007 NFL draft. Monday morning however, the Jets came to Terms with the Titans to complete a deal. also targeted was Marcel Shipp. Rumors about Lee Suggs turned out to be false.
New York coaches feel confident, after doing extended research on Brown, that he is a starting-caliber runningback in the league. If Martin is unable to play at the outset of the season, Brown likely will be the starter.
The Jets inherit Brown's existing contract, which has just one season remaining, at a base salary of $1.68 million for 2006.
Ok this is my last joke like this. its just too funny to see people fall for it, but now its starting to be cruel.

While he was slogging through stop-and-go traffic at the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel, the car next to him was violently rear-ended. The quarterback threw his car into park, hopped out and ran to the woman whose car had been hit. She was wearing, of all things, an Esiason jersey, and was utterly shocked when he tapped on her window to check on her.
"Are you OK?" he said, trying to keep calm. "Are you OK?"
"Boomer? Is that you?" she asked the Good Samaritan, sounding disoriented. "I think I'm OK, but . ... "
But what?
"But you guys sucked."

Western upsets number one Trinity WesternQUEBEC CITY (March 1, 2013) – New monarchs will be crowned at the end of the CIS men's volleyball championship this Sunday. Trailing two sets to none, the seventh-seeded Western Mustangs mounted a comeback for the ages to defeat the two-time defending champion Trinity Western Spartans in a thrilling five-set quarter-final Friday afternoon at PEPS Stadium.
Every set was pretty much insane too watch. The finals score was 26-28, 23-25, 31-29, 27-25, 15-9
Combine to McMaster's win earlier today, the result means an OUA team will reach the CIS final for the first time since Toronto accomplished the feat in 1991. The only Ontario-based team to win the Tantramar Trophy was Ottawa in 1968, although the Gee-Gees were not competing in the OUA conference at the time.
"It was a little stressful! Each set was a battle and it was fun. We talked about this, our motto for today was 'all day'. Even down 0-2, we were going to continue. That's when the momentum started to switch and my guys started to believe in themselves a little more, and they got it," said the Mustangs' coach Jim Sage.
The standing room only crowd of over 3,000 was a big help for the fifth-seeded and tournament host Laval Rouge et Or, who defeated the No. 4 Alberta Golden Bears in four sets of 15-25, 25-22, 25-21 and 27-25 to reach the semifinals for the fifth year in a row at the CIS men's volleyball championship.
"I feel relieved! We should not forget that those kids are not often exposed to this kind of idolatry. I wasn't nervous, and neither was Gino (Brousseau, assistant coach), because we had lived this in the past. But to play volleyball with a knife on the throat, it's not pleasant," said Laval head coach Pascal Clément.
In the other men's quarterfinals, the top-seed Brandon Bobcats defeated l'Université de Montréal 23-25, 25-18, 25-19, 25-20 and McMaster swept New Brunswick 25-23, 25-17, 25-14.
The semifinal match-ups for Saturday are Western-McMaster and Laval-Brandon beginning at 6 p.m.

The Death of Clock Speed
By Josh Simons on Oct 13, 2008
Sun just introduced yet another chip multi-threading (CMT) SPARC system, the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440. To me, that's a Batoka (sorry, branding police) because I can't keep the model names straight. In any case, this time we've put 256 hardware threads and up to 1/2 TeraByte of memory into a four-RU server. That works out to a thread-count of about 36 threads per vertical inch, which doesn't compete with fine Egyptian cotton, but it can beat the crap out of servers with 3X faster processor clocks. If you don't understand why, then you should take the time to grok this fact. Clock speed is dead as a good metric for assessing the value of a system. For years it has been a shorthand proxy for performance, but with multi-core and multi-threaded processors becoming ubiquitous that has all changed.
Old-brain logic would say that for a particular OpenMP problem size, a faster clock will beat a slower one. But it isn't about clock anymore--it is about parallelism and latency hiding and efficient workload processing. Which is why the T5440 can perform anywhere from 1.5X to almost 2X better on a popular OpenMP benchmark against systems with almost twice the clock rate of the T5540. Those 256 threads and 32 separate floating point units are a huge advantage in parallel benchmarks and in real-world environments in which heavy workloads are the norm, especially those that can benefit from the latency-hiding offered by a CMT processor like the UltraSPARC T2 Plus. Check out BM Seer over the next few days for more specific, published benchmark results for the T5440.
Yes, sure. If you have a single-threaded application and don't need to run a lot of instances, then the higher clock rate will help you significantly. But if that is your situation, then you have a big problem since you will no longer see clock rate increasing as it has in the past. You are surely starting to see this now with commodity CPUs slowly increasingly clock rates and embrace of multicore, but you can look to our CMT systems to understand the logical progression of this trend. It's all going parallel, baby, and it is past time to start thinking about how you are going to deal with that new reality. When you do, you'll see the value of this highly threaded approach for handling real-world workloads. You can see my earlier post on CMT and HPC for more information, including a pointer to an interesting customer analysis of the value of CMT for HPC workloads.
A pile of engineers have been blogging about both the hardware and software aspects of the new system.

Charles Schwab credits the success of his Fortune 500 company to the quality of his employees. Their well-being is a driving force toward construction of the $230 million Lone Tree corporate campus that officially broke ground May 10.
"Our company really is nothing without really happy employees," Schwab said in a brief speech at the Lone Tree Arts Center. "Denver is such a fantastic environment to live (and) provides the well-educated employees we love to attract to our company. By being here, this will give us a better edge."
The 75-year-old Schwab started the San Francisco-based company 40 years ago with four employees. It now employs nearly 15,000 people and serves 8.2-million client brokerage accounts.
Off-stage, Schwab didn't rule out the prospect of someday making Lone Tree its global headquarters.
"As we get this campus developed, we will consider all options," he said.
Schwab spoke from the arts center's stage along with Gov. John Hickenlooper, Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella, Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning and Schwab Senior Vice President Brian McDonald.
The Charles Schwab Corporation's 2,200 metro-area employees, now spread among three sites, will move into their new home in late 2014.
Schwab credited Lone Tree for its part in bringing the project to life.
"I just want to thank all the people who with Godspeed put this whole thing together," he said. "You did an incredible yeoman's job to make this all happen."
McDonald said Schwab plans to become part of Lone Tree, and already is pondering a relationship with the Lone Tree Arts Center for potential use of the company's on-campus amphitheater.
"We feel like we're moving out of a business complex and into a community," McDonald said. "We're committed to being a great neighbor."
Hickenlooper said Schwab is a natural fit for Colorado. "I love to hear Charles Schwab say 'campus' because the one thing campus says to me is expansion," he said. "I can't imagine a better company that ties in with our identity and what we're trying to be."
The state gave Schwab a financial nudge in its decision to build the campus. In exchange for the creation of 480 new jobs in the next five years, Schwab will receive tax credits from Colorado's Job Growth Incentive Tax Credit.
Those jobs will have a "$500-million-a-year direct and indirect economic impact," Repella said. "Those are the numbers that help residents prosper."
The featured speakers and dozens of invited guests then converged outside the arts center for a ceremonial groundbreaking. Sunshine glinting off the silver tips of their shovels, Hickenlooper, Repella, Gunning and seven other officials joined Schwab in lifting scoops of rain-soaked dirt.
Construction on the first phase of the two-part, 52-acre project at Lincoln Avenue and Park Meadows Boulevard already is under way. It includes two five-story office buildings, a parking garage, amphitheater and retail branch building. A third five-story office building and second parking garage are planned for the later phase.

6th Sense Crush 300DD Crankbait
The 6th Sense Crush 300DD Deep Diving Crankbait has taken deep water cranking to the next level. Designed to dive quickly and efficiently to depths of 14-19 feet with less drag, the 300DD maximizes your time in the strike zone, while adding a fish-attracting turbulence trail. It's Deflecting Lip Geometry allows it to quickly rebound off thick brush, trees, rocks or any other type of cover, while maintaining position and trajectory. Its high buoyancy characteristics also allow it to back up and float out of snags. A faint rattle chamber creates a light knocking sound as well that provokes strikes without spooking finicky fish. Sharp VMC black nickel hooks and top-of-the-line paint schemes with realistic 3D gill plates, 3D eyes, and 3D scales differentiate the 6th Sense Crush 300DD Crankbait from all other deep diving crankbaits on the market.

Comments: I have a confession to make. I'm a DD22 fan. BUT,I recently bought a couple 300DDs & I really like them. They cast like a bullet and get to depth fast. Enjoy!
From: Brandon: Fort Knox, KY 6/28/15
Comments: About the size of a SK 6XD but much less resistance in the water. Slightly less wobble than the 6XD though. The finish on the 6th Sense is also flashier, but after accidentally rebounding one off a rock, the clear coat chipped and all of a sudden my lure could not float anymore. Still caught a nice 5lber with it. I looked on the bright side and now I have a crankbait that I can effectively fish 40+ feet if needed! Still would buy it though due to it's nice finish, less strain on the arms while cranking, and a really good price for a 15ft+ deep crankbait
