Each semester, Social Work professor Ronnie Swartz has projects, exams and thousands of hours of community-based experience for his students. Each semester, the department chair, who keeps a guitar in his office, will also try to give a special musical performance as an opportunity to examine social justice through a different lens.
"I'll sing a song that somehow relates to an example in class," he says. One of his favorite selections is the migrant worker tune "Pastures of Plenty" by Woodie Guthrie, with the lyrics: "I harvest your crops … cut the grapes from your vine, to set on your table your light sparkling wine."
This song, says Ronnie, is an example of interconnectedness of a variety of social aspects including class, labor conditions, economics and the environment. While it may be a Depression-Era folk song, understanding that interconnectedness can provide insight to the present as well. "For example, people might not know that we divert water from the Eel River so that Santa Rosa can have grapes for its wine," he says. "It affects species, culture—even taxes."
For Ronnie, Social Work shouldn't focus solely on an individual. It has to give attention to all of the interconnected systems of oppression. "Just trying to work with an individual will only make them a little more comfortable in their suffering," he says. "We do a lot more than that."
Students in the Department of Social Work are consistently engaged in fieldwork in the community, contributing roughly 50,000 hours of service each year. Much of the focus in his teaching connects people to resources that could improve their lives.
Recently, the department expanded access to social work education by taking the program online. "Learning happens in many contexts of peoples' lives," he says. "In social work, as well as in teaching, you have to help people build on and learn by using their strengths."
While his work—ranging from counseling at-risk youth and persons contemplating suicide—has tested the limits of his own strengths, nothing, he says, presents more of a challenge nor provides as much joy as being a parent. Through his profession, Swartz hopes to contribute to a world of fairness, justice and opportunity, not only for his clients, but for his own daughter as well.

We make digital advertising easy! Sophisticated digital ads don't have to be complicated. Just give us some basic information through an online form, and we will take it from there.
This program includes two components: (1) a Dynamic Ad Box that circulates in a random rotation through all of the pages of our 50 local websites, and (2) an Expandable Featured Listing that is placed within appropriate categories of our Business Directory.
Question: What should a digital ad accomplish for your company?
Answer: It should foster brand awareness, send a message to potential customers, and ultimately result in customer engagement.
Our dynamic ads are comprised of three distinct sections that are geared to achieve each of these goals. The top third is for a company logo, the middle third is for a changeable company message, and the bottom third is devoted to social media links, town and phone number.
The Expandable Featured Listing will be found in our robust Business Directory containing over 13,000 listings. Our directory is organized by thematic guides (i.e. home improvement, pets, seniors, kids, etc.) With over 300 business categories to choose from, we are sure to find one or more categories to place your featured listing at the top of a category page. With so many listings, the placement and size of your Featured Listing will ensure that your ad will be seen. Click here to see some examples.
Featured Listings contain the dynamic ad (described above), detailed business description, all contact information (phone, address, email), links to website and social media, mini photo gallery, coupon link, and more). It is truly "Your Company in a Box" - your "elevator pitch" that will entice customers to contact you.
We believe in transparency and want you to have the information necessary to determine the effectiveness of this program. To this end, BucksCountyAlive.com will give you access to your ad's performance (both impressions and click-throughs).
You can choose between two payment options:

Some Highlights of the 120th Annual Meeting
The 120th Annual Meeting of the American Historical Association will be held January 5–8, 2006, in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Marriott, Loews Philadelphia, and Courtyard Philadelphia Downtown hotels. More than 1,300 scholars, including 107 from other countries, will participate in 289 AHA and affiliate sessions. Forty-six specialized affiliated societies and other groups will cosponsor sessions or hold separate luncheons, sessions, and meetings. AHA and affiliate events are summarized in the front portion of the Program (which members should have received by now), beginning on page 27 with details of sessions listed in the main body of the program. AHA-sponsored sessions begin on page 78, with affiliated society sessions following in alphabetical order in each time period.
Noted below are sessions and events sponsored by Association divisions and committees. Session numbers are indicated.
The AHA Teaching Division is sponsoring one session, "The Evaluation of the Teaching American History Grant Program" (24), and two roundtables, "Public Historians Reaching Classrooms K–16 through Museums" (110, with the AHA Professional Division, and scheduled off-site at the Philadelphia Museum of Art) and "Assessing Student Learning in History: How Are We Doing?" (142).
The division will cosponsor the Advanced Placement luncheon on Saturday, January 7 with the College Board and the World History Association.

EDIT: Starting another point here so as not to have 2 posts in a row...
What I find really curious are all those people who have obviously just installed Debian a few days ago on very recent hardware, but actually installed Wheezy and then are wondering why it's not running the latest Intel video card. I wonder how that happens. I mean, I'd understand installing Wheezy after realising that Jessie is too buggy, and I'd understand this maybe in server use. OTOH, I can't imagine that beginners who can't troubleshoot simple video card issues really know or care about the systemd debate. It just makes no sense to me, as all the default downloads link to Jessie images.

AUR User Guidelines
Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary end
The Arch User Repository (AUR) is a community-driven repository for Arch users. It contains package descriptions (PKGBUILDs) that allow you to compile a package from source with makepkg and then install it via pacman. This document explains how users can access and utilize the AUR.
- 1 Using the AUR
- 1.1 Comments
- 1.2 Searching the AUR
- 1.3 Installing Packages from the AUR
- 1.4 Sharing PKGBUILDs in UNSUPPORTED
- 1.5 Submitting Packages to UNSUPPORTED
- 1.6 Maintaining Packages in UNSUPPORTED
- 2 [community]
Using the AUR
Avoid pasting patches or PKGBUILDs into the comments section. They quickly become obsolete and just end up needlessly taking up lots of space. Instead email those files to the maintainer, or even use a pastebin like http://pastebin.ca.
Searching the AUR
The AUR web interface can be found here.
Queries search package names and descriptions via a MySQL LIKE comparison. This allows for more flexible search criteria (e.g. try searching for 'tool%like%grep' instead of 'tool like grep'). If you need to search for a description that contains '%', escape it with '\%'.
Installing Packages from the AUR
Installing packages from the AUR (aka the [unsupported] repository) is a relatively simple process. Essentially:
- Acquire a PKGBUILD and any other required files (e.g. patches)
- Run makepkg in the directory where the files are saved
- Install the resulting package with pacman
AUR Helpers add seamless access to the AUR. They vary in their features, but can ease in searching, fetching, building, and installing from PKGBUILDs found in AUR. All of these scripts can be found in UNSUPPORTED.
What follows is a detailed example of installation of a package called "foo".
First ensure that the necessary tools are installed. The package group "base-devel" should be sufficient; it includes make and other tools needed for compiling from source.
# pacman -S base-devel
Next choose an appropriate build directory. A build directory is simply a directory where the package will be made or "built" and can be any directory. Examples of commonly used directories are:
or if using ABS (the Arch Build System):
For more information on ABS read the Arch Build System article. The example will use Template:Filename as the build directory.
Acquire build files
Locate the package in the AUR. This is done using the search feature (text field at the top of the AUR home page). Clicking the application's name in the search list brings up an information page on the package. Read through the description to confirm that this is the desired package, note when the package was last updated, and read any comments.
Download the necessary build files. From the package's information page download the build files by clicking the "Tarball" link on the left-hand side near the end of the package details. This file should be saved to the build directory or otherwise copied to the directory after downloading. In this example, the file is called "foo.tar.gz" (standard format is <pkgname>.tar.gz, if it has been properly submitted).
Build the package
Extract the tarball. Change directories to the build directory if not already there and extract the build files.
$ cd ~/builds $ tar -xvzf foo.tar.gz
This should create a new directory called "foo" in the build directory.
$ cd foo $ nano PKGBUILD $ nano foo.install
Make the package. After manually confirming the integrity of the files, run makepkg as a normal user in the build directory.
$ makepkg -s
The Template:Codeline switch will use sudo to install any needed dependencies. If the use of sudo is undesirable, use fakeroot (see #Using fakeroot) and exclude the Template:Codeline in the above command.
Install the package
Install the package using pacman. A tarball should have been created named:
<application name>-<version number>-<architecture>.pkg.tar.gz
This package can be installed using pacman's "upgrade" command:
# pacman -U foo-0.1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Using Template:Codeline
Template:Codeline simply allows a normal user the necessary root permissions to create packages in the build environment without being able to alter the wider system. If the build process attempts to alter files outside of the build environment then errors are produced and the build fails -- this is very useful for checking the quality/safety/integrity of PKGBUILDs for distribution. By default, Template:Codeline is enabled in Template:Filename; users can prefix the option with a Template:Codeline in the Template:Codeline array to disable it.
Sharing PKGBUILDs in UNSUPPORTED
The user plays an essential role in the AUR, which cannot fulfill its potential without the support, involvement, and contribution of the wider user community. The life-cycle of an AUR package starts and ends with the user and requires the user to contribute in several ways.
Users can share PKGBUILDs using the UNSUPPORTED area in the AUR. UNSUPPORTED does not contain any binary packages but allows users to upload PKGBUILDs that can be downloaded by others. A comments facility allows users to provide suggestions and feedback on improvements to the PKGBUILD contributor. These PKGBUILDs are completely unofficial and have not been thoroughly vetted, so they should be used at your own risk.
One of the easiest activities for all Arch users is to browse the AUR and vote for their favorite packages using the online interface. All packages are eligible for adoption by a TU for inclusion in [community], and the vote count is one of the considerations in that process; it is in everyone's interest to vote!
Submitting Packages to UNSUPPORTED
After logging in to the AUR web interface, a user can submit a gzipped tarball (Template:Filename) of a directory containing build files for a package. The directory inside the tarball should contain a Template:Filename, any Template:Filename files, patches, etc. (ABSOLUTELY no binaries). Examples of what such a directory should look like can be seen inside Template:Filename if ABS was installed.
The tarball can be created with the following command:
$ tar cfvz pkgname.tar.gz pkgname/
Note that this is a gzipped tarball; assuming you are uploading a package called libfoo, when you create the file it should look similar to this:
$ ls -a libfoo . .. PKGBUILD libfoo.install $ makepkg --source
# List contents of tarball. $ tar tf libfoo-0.1-1.src.tar.gz libfoo/ libfoo/PKGBUILD libfoo/libfoo.install
When submitting a package, observe the following rules:
- Check [core], [extra], and [community] for the package. If it is inside any of those repositories in ANY form, DO NOT submit the package (if the current package is broken or is lacking an included feature then please file a bug report in FlySpray).
- Check UNSUPPORTED for the package. If it is currently maintained, changes can be submitted in a comment for the maintainer's attention. If it is unmaintained, the package can be adopted and updated as required.
- Verify carefully that what you are uploading is correct. All contributors must read and adhere to the Arch Packaging Standards when writing PKGBUILDs. This is essential to the smooth running and general success of the AUR. Remember you are not going to earn any credit or respect from your peers by wasting their time with a bad PKGBUILD.
- Packages that contain binaries or that are very poorly written may be deleted without warning.
- If you are unsure about the package (or the build/submission process) in any way, submit the PKGBUILD to the AUR Mailing List or the AUR boards on the forum for public review before adding it to the AUR.
- Make sure the package is useful. Will anyone else want to use this package? Is it extremely specialized? If more than a few people would find this package useful, it is appropriate for submission.
- Gain some experience before submitting packages. Build a few packages to learn the process and then submit.
- If you submit a Template:Filename with a file named 'Template:Filename' in it you'll get a an error: 'Could not change to directory Template:Filename'. To resolve this, rename the file named 'Template:Filename' to something else, for example, 'Template:Filename'. When it is installed in the Template:Filename directory you may rename it back to 'Template:Filename'.
Maintaining Packages in UNSUPPORTED
- Check for feedback and comments from other users and try to incorporate any improvements they suggest; consider it a learning process!
- Please DO NOT just submit and forget about packages! While in UNSUPPORTED, it is the user's job to maintain the package by checking for updates and improving the PKGBUILD.
- If you do not want to continue to maintain the package for some reason, disown the package using the AUR web interface and/or post a message to the AUR Mailing List.
The [community] repository, maintained by Trusted Users, contains the most popular packages from UNSUPPORTED. It is enabled by default in Template:Filename. If disabled/removed, it can be enabled by uncommenting/adding these two lines:
[community], unlike UNSUPPORTED, contains binary packages that can be installed directly with pacman and the build files can also be accessed with ABS. Some of these packages may eventually make the transition to the [core] or [extra] repositories as the developers consider them crucial to the distribution.
Users can also access the [community] build files by editing Template:Filename and enabling the community repository in the Template:Codeline array.

Nokia's 'Free Wireless Charger' page has been live for a while, but registration isn't quite ready / open yet. The Finnish manufacturer has however published the terms and conditions, which reveal exactly what will be on offer and who will be eligible for said free gear. Those who purchase either the Lumia 920 or Lumia 820 through Phones4u will be able to claim a free wireless charging plate.
To be eligible for the free offer, a promotional Lumia 920 or Lumia 820 must have been purchased through a Phones4u store, online or via the call centre between November 2nd and December 31st. This is restricted to residents of the UK and Republic of Ireland and opens tomorrow, November 16th. This appears to be a somewhat similar deal to the free Lumia 820 wireless charging shells for O2 customers.
Registrations for the plate must be completed at least 14 days after purchasing the qualified Windows Phone where personal information and the device IMEI number will need to be entered. The wireless charging plate will subsequently be sent within 28 days of form completion. A pretty neat offer to further incentivise the purchase of a Lumia Windows Phone. be sure to get in touch with Nokia should you be unsure if you'll be eligible before making the purchase.

ALLEN PARK � Nate Burleson caught a touchdown pass in his first game back from an arm injury, then held the ball aloft like it was a freshly made pizza.
"I buckled my seatbelt first," the Detroit receiver said.
The quirky celebration was classic Burleson � and his return after missing two months following a car crash was one of the few bright spots in the Lions' 24-21 loss to Tampa Bay on Sunday. Burleson broke his left arm in the one-car accident in late September, saying he was distracted by pizza boxes sliding off the front passenger seat before his car hit a wall.
So after scoring a touchdown in the second quarter against the Buccaneers, Burleson pretended he was delivering a pizza in the end zone.
The Lions hope Burleson can provide more than just laughs as the season draws to a close and he looks ready to contribute. The 32-year-old receiver caught seven passes for 77 yards Sunday, giving Detroit some much-needed receiving depth for quarterback Matthew Stafford. Afterward, Burleson seemed no worse for wear.
"I came out of the game OK. I was good," Burleson said Tuesday. "My arm held up. It was more just soreness from getting hit. I felt like I was in an accident all over again. It felt good, though, actually."
Burleson has 26 catches in the four games he's played this season, enabling the Lions to rely a bit less on star receiver Calvin Johnson. Detroit still lost after turning the ball over five times, but the Lions will be back on track if they can beat Green Bay Thursday.
The annual Thanksgiving showcase hasn't been pleasant for Detroit lately. The Lions have lost nine straight times on the holiday.
Detroit (6-5) is tied for first in the NFC North with Chicago, and Green Bay (5-5-1) is right behind. When the Lions lost to the Packers 22-9 on Oct. 6, a banged-up Johnson didn't play.
Johnson's knee has been troublesome this year, and he didn't practice Tuesday, but it still looks like he and Burleson will both be on the field Thursday.
"We've got chemistry there," Johnson said. "It's great to have Nate back again. I know Matt's happy to have him back."
Aside from Johnson, Detroit's leaders in receptions this season are running back Reggie Bush and tight end Brandon Pettigrew, so there's a void at wide receiver waiting to be filled by Burleson, now that he's back.
There's also no real excuse if the passing game doesn't start to click. Detroit had a hard time getting the ball to Johnson late in its last two games � and Stafford was intercepted four times by the Bucs.
But with Burleson back, the Lions seem awfully healthy � especially compared to a Green Bay team that has been without quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
"I'm really confident in the fact that once we play our game, there's no other team in the NFL that can play with us," Burleson said. "We walk on any field, anywhere and know that we have a great chance of winning. I've been in the league 11 years, and I couldn't say that every year. I could say we had a good team, but there were always teams that might have been better at certain things.
"If we piece it together, and everybody's healthy on this team, we can go out there and not just compete with anybody, but I think we can beat anybody."

"It is the genius of William Christenberry to stir up intensely evocative emotions and meanings from common, even humble, pieces of the world." —Howard N. Fox, curator of modern and contemporary art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Since the early 1960s, William Christenberry has plumbed the regional identity of the American South, focusing his attention on Hale County, Alabama, from which he hails. His theme is singular: the history, the very story of place, is at the heart of his project. His poetic documentation of Southern vernacular architecture, signage, and landscape captures moments of quiet beauty in a sometimes rustic terrain that, with its worn iconography and buildings turned ramshackle, evokes the power of the passage of time.
Havana Methodist Church, Havana, Alabama, 1976 is part of a previously unseen body of Christenberry's work: a group of 35 mm Kodachromes, developed in 2006, some thirty years after they were taken, and is included in William Christenberry (Aperture, 2006). The Havana Methodist Church, which still stands, was built at the time of the Civil War and is where Christenberry's paternal grandparents are buried. The artist laments the fact that the wonderful country churches of his youth are disappearing, and are being replaced by dreary cinderblock structures. This image of a whitewashed church is simple, almost faceless, but representative of a fading part of the rural landscape; it evinces Walker Percy's description of Christenberry's work as a "poetic evocation of a haunted countryside."
William Christenberry (born Tuscaloosa, Alabama, 1936) received his bachelor's (1958) and master's (1959) degrees in fine arts from the University of Alabama, studying under noted abstract expressionist Melville Price. Since 1968 he has taught at the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, D.C. Though known more as a photographer and multi-media artist than as a painter, Christenberry continues to teach painting. His work has been exhibited in solo and group shows around the world and is the subject of several monographs.

You can try partition-specific wipe using Partition Wizard - Use the Bootable CD.
In that case I'd resize enough space at the right end of the HD to store data, then wipe the preceding partitions, repartition for Win7 and XP, boot XP CD to full format the XP partition and install, then boot Win7 DVD to format and install to its partition. Take care not to touch the data partition.
Be aware this is not a truly safe way to backup data, which should always be backed up elsewhere.

This thing has become somewhat personal; between me, the laptop and Windows since in 25 years I can't remember ever having a problem I was not able to eventually solve (very experienced user with a tad of programming knowledge, but no expert to be certain).
Again it would seem just one small thing is out of sync here, and the Microsoft bulletin points to the boot.ini or the like, but it would seem I have exhausted those possibilities.
There must be a solution to this, other than giving up and formatting. Again the XP setup files loaded to the partition I chose, and boot.ini, ntdetect and the other (cant remember name atm) loaded to first 100meg partition. Then it goes to its first reboot in the process, and either comes up with hal.dll error OR hardware configuration problem (depending on which partition it tries to go to apparently) both mentioned in same Microsoft bullentin (and hal.dll is in the files loaded). I have tried changing the default partition and path in boot.ini in order for it to make the connection to the Windows files, yet it does not seem to. What exactly is supposed to happen after the first reboot in the XP installation anyway?
I am likely going to "give up" and take one of several other paths, but this is really bugging me. It may be interesting to note (or not), that OPH Crack shows 4 partitions, numbered sda1, 2, 3 and 5. For some reason 4 is skipped here. All boot files are on 1, 7 on 2, and XP on 5. After XP installs the boot.ini has default and path set to 4, which I think is correct (tried 1 - 5 now).

My understanding is the way which the BIOS SLIC table is emulated (all I know to quote) in a cracked activation can indeed interfere since it involves the boot sector of the HD. We regularly see problems with installs here that are remedied by wiping the boot sector with Diskpart Clean Command.
I do not know what OPH crack is but no discussion of cracks are allowed here and can lead quite easily to being banned. So I'd wipe it clean to install Genuine Win7.
|My System Specs
|22 Oct 2012
Well I have "given up" on the first course of action, and went ahead and zeroed out the entire 750G drive in prep to install XP, and then once done, 7.
So I inserted the XPSP2 disc, made 3 partitions, formatted one and started installing XP.
Do you want to guess what happened on the first reboot?
Yep, 7 had nothing to do with the error whatsoever, its still there
So it appears that it is likely a Sata driver issue, even though XP has NO trouble seeing the whole drive, and even partitioning it etc. Unless someone has some other idea on what is wrong here? I checked the Bios at this point, and Sata Native Mode is actual disabled. So when 7 was installed prior, it was done under this suboptimal condition. It also means that if the Bios was running in IDE mode, that this is why XP has no trouble seeing anything, which would seem to rule out Sata issues at all.
I am just about ready to throw the laptop off my Condo roof, any help would be appreciated to figure out what the actual issue is here. This is why I didn't want to give up in the first place, since the actual problem is still there.
ps - Just for kicks, I am going to try slipstreaming XP with SP3 and Sata Driver, and try to start over AGAIN with Sata Native Mode enabled, but I really have my doubts this is going to work.
pss - XP disc has no scratches and worked 6 months ago
btw - oph crack is a free and very handy program to help you figure out what your admin password is if you forgot, and has a few other handy tools built in. During the first part of this process when I went to Recovery from the XP install disc and tried to go to command prompt, the stupid thing told me to put in an admin password (XP Pro) and just hitting enter would not work. oph crack did not find a password, so I still have no idea why this was even happening. Once, after restoring 7 and fooling around, I got into XP restore command prompt without the password prompt, but have forget how I did it now

Use an XP SP3 installer. Full format the partition using XP CD.
If installer sees the HD then it is not a SATA driver issue. But I would try install in IDE mode.
|My System Specs
|24 Oct 2012
I FINALLY got it to work, holy crap what a nightmare.
Turns out it did have nothing to do with Sata As far as I can tell, as we figured. The Bios DID have Sata mode disabled as I mentioned and explains why XP had no issue seeing the drive (though I thought SP2 had Sata drivers included....).
I don't know what was wrong, and it still bugs me, but my best guess is that I was trying to install to the 3rd or 4th partition each of the two times I tried prior, and somehow the lettering or something else was throwing it off. When it worked this last time, I installed it to the very first C partition.
The only other thing I did differently was slipstream SP3 into the install instead of only SP2. I did use the SP2 disc that I was using to do this, so nothing must have been wrong with the disc as I figured.
So either SP3 has something important for my hardware or otherwise that SP2 does not (doesn't seem that likely really), or installing on the first partition was the solution. When I try to enable Sata mode now it won't boot, so I need to install a driver first and go through a little process, then I should have my Sata running optimally hopefully.
Thanks for the help, I would sure still like to know what was wrong
|My System Specs
|24 Oct 2012
Yes, as explained you must have SP3 to have any chance to install XP on newest hardware.

Windows 7 Ultimate x 64
Thanks. I found slipstreaming and using nLite to be a breeze. I got my original xp cd and was able to to slip in SP3 and remove a lot of bloat [who needs omega tape drives ect ]. I installed xp on D [windows 7 was already installed to C] . I got a problem with booting 7 and followed the restore/repair with a win 7 install disk , afterwards I used easyBCD to success. Now I get a boot menu without problems. I did the same for a frieind using Tinyxp . Its not rocket science. However I read about hiding the Win 7 drive from XP here and wondered if it was necessary. If so can anybody let me know how? Is it an administrator too in 7?

Hello Sibo,
There has been many that had issues with their restore points and shadow copies in Windows 7 being deleted everytime they started XP. The workaround for that was to hide the Windows 7 partition/drive from XP inside XP.

By Newt Gingrich
The jobs report from February was, on balance, good news for the American people.
Two hundred and twenty two thousand private sector jobs were created and the unemployment rate dropped below 9% for the first time in 22 months.
While this is not an extraordinary amount of jobs created, it is solid, and is certainly an improvement from the tepid growth that has characterized the Obama administration's stimulus-fueled "recovery."
Naturally, the administration is attempting to take credit for the good news. But in doing so, they are hoping the American people will overlook a few facts and avoid asking some obvious follow-up questions.
What changed?
It has been 25 months since the Obama stimulus was signed into law.
During this time we have lost a net of 2.1 million jobs.
1.96 million of those jobs were in the private sector.
That's why the uptick in the number of private sector jobs created in February is good news. It shows that businesses are hiring again and willing to invest in their companies.
This begs the question, though, what changed? After so many months of stagnation and job loss, what was it that sparked the private sector job creation?
Liberal Democrats aren't going to like the answer.
The last significant economic policy enacted by President Obama was the extension of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts through 2013. Finally, businesses and investors were given some tax certainty and knew they would have extra money for the next two years with which to create jobs.
President Obama is certainly entitled to share in the credit for passing this extension. But he should be asked a few follow-up questions.
If he's willing to take credit for the job creation spurred by keeping taxes low, why does he want to raise taxes again in 2013? Why does he want to put small business owners and investors in the same position they were in throughout 2010 -- facing a looming tax increase -- in 2012? How will that help the recovery? And what does the success of keeping taxes low mean for the rest of his agenda?
How fast can we turn things around?
The real issue that President Obama can't avoid is as simple as 2+2=4.
Job killing policies kill jobs.
And the fact is that until signing the tax cut extension, he was pursuing job killing policies like an energy tax, the health care bill, and wasteful stimulus spending.
I remain hopeful that President Obama will recognize the tax cut extension worked and that the rates deserve to be permanent (and that this realization would force the president to reevaluate his entire big government agenda).
However, it is far more likely that he will remain committed to his left-wing, secular-socialist ideology and keep trying to raise taxes.
This leads us to a simple question.
If President Obama is not willing to do what is right, what could the next president do on his first day in office to help reverse the left wing policies of this administration?
What could the next president do on day one to start the turnaround as rapidly as possible?
Executive Orders
To be clear, I do not think America's problems can be fixed from the White House. The country is simply too big and too complicated.
As I have written many times in this newsletter, there are 513,000 elected officials in the United States. That's why it will take a genuine grassroots movement at all levels of government to achieve the level of real change this country needs in its policies to remain safe, prosperous and free in the 21st century.
This is not to say, however, that the President of the United States does not have real power to significantly affect people's lives.
Take the power of executive orders.
Executive orders are directives from the president to employees of the Executive Branch. These orders cannot make new laws, but seek to clarify or direct the implementation of laws passed by Congress in executive branch agencies.
George Washington was the first president to issue an executive order, and his successors in the White House have relied on these as a useful tool since then. Many landmark reforms in our history, from Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation to Reagan's ending of price controls on gasoline, have been put into effect by executive orders.
A "Day One" Executive Order Project
If President Obama refuses to reverse course on his radical agenda, we will need a bold plan for the next president to use his executive order power on "day one" to reverse as many of the left-wing policies enacted over the previous four years as possible, as rapidly as possible.
At a speech Monday night to the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition, I suggested four executive orders that would immediately protect the sanctity of human life and protect religious liberty in America.
1. Direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to ensure that no federal funds shall be expended for any abortion, except in the case of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother.
2. Reauthorize President Ronald Reagan's policy -- also known as the "Mexico City Policy"-- to stop the federal funding of any non-governmental agencies or charities that perform or promote abortions in foreign countries.
3. Respect the beliefs and integrity of healthcare workers by making sure that no American working in a medical environment should be forced to perform any action or procedure that he or she finds morally or ethically objectionable. This protection should include, but not be limited to, abortion and sterilization procedures. Existing conscience clause protections need to be strengthened.
4. Respect each sovereign nation's choice of its capital by instructing the U.S. State Department to respect the choice of capital of each sovereign nation and place the American embassy in that capital. (This would apply specifically to Israel, where the United States refuses to locate our embassy in Jerusalem).
Share Your Ideas
These are just four examples of executive orders to help reverse the left wing policies of the Obama administration. There are many more.
For instance, there could be an executive order to halt all federal government activities to ration health care services on the grounds that the government has decided the costs are not worth the benefits to the patient.
Another executive order could instruct the EPA that it is not the policy of the United States government to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act unless Congress expressly passes a law amending the act to grant that authority.
Another could repeal President Obama's ban on offshore drilling in the Outer Continental Shelf, allowing America's energy companies the freedom to produce more oil to lower prices.
I look forward to hearing your ideas on what should be included in a Day One Executive Order Project.
Your friend,

Oh my goodness what a cute little bunny, I want one!
My favorite thing about Easter is my whole family getting together and having lots of fun. We always do a raw egg toss, which is fun and funnier when it crack on someone else. The newest tradition we have been starting is the beer hunt for the older cousins (who are legal). I hide the beer very hard for these ones since I don't drink.

News that traces of drugs are found in tap water consumed by millions of Americans should awaken citizens and public officials. Precious water resources must be guarded and pharmaceuticals treated as hazardous waste.
Investigative reporters at the Associated Press have established that the drinking water of at least 41 million Americans from coast to coast is tainted by pharmaceuticals, albeit in minute levels far below those taken as prescriptions.
They include a medicine cabinet full of various drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, from pain medications to antidepressants to steroids. Some 56 kinds of drugs were identified in the water supply of Philadelphia alone. But the report says smaller towns and even rural areas may be affected, too. And that bottled water you're sipping? It probably wasn't tested for drug traces either.
The news report spotlights a troubling and growing form of pollution. As the series points out, the number of prescriptions written in the US rose to 3.7 billion in 2006, a 12 percent increase over five years earlier. Nonprescription drugs account for another 3.3 billion annual purchases.
While a portion of the problem comes from improper disposal of unused drugs, the majority is the result of drugs that are taken and excreted into wastewater systems. They make their way into groundwater and eventually into reservoirs. Nearly all forms of conventional water treatment, except the expensive process called reverse osmosis, fail to completely remove the drugs, the report says.
An added problem: Some of the drugs are likely to have come from animal sources, either farm animals or household pets, both of which are being given pharmaceuticals in growing amounts.
Studies have shown these drugs are present in wildlife, from fish to earthworms. The effects are unknown: The US government hasn't established any safety limits nor does it mandate testing for them.
Certainly more local water districts will need to test for the presence of drugs. Of 62 major districts contacted by AP, 34 do not test. And the Environmental Protection Agency should be more aggressive in studying the problem and possible impact. What might be the long-term effects? Could certain drugs combine with each other or with chlorine, frequently used in treating water supplies, to form toxic compounds?
The era of flushing nonconsumed prescription drugs down the toilet is over. Dropping drugs in the trash risks them being fished out by others and abused. That's why federal and state officials urge crushing and mixing pills with coffee grounds or cat litter to prevent misuse.
Even then, drugs sitting in landfills leave some risk of escaping into groundwater.
Better yet would be programs to return unused drugs to the drugstore or other vendors where they were purchased for proper disposal, or for cities and towns to include them in hazardous waste drop-off programs.
The problem of consumed drugs is more difficult. The ongoing discussion over whether Americans are being overmedicated perhaps has gained a new talking point.
If Americans don't want to breathe someone else's cigarette smoke, do they really want to swallow someone else's drugs – even in small amounts?

Living the Poor Life in Glasgow: Part Two
4 comments:
"Glasgow was not going to keep all the vagrants who cared to come into it. Sentence of two month's imprisonment was passed." - So they kept him after all.ReplyDelete
Hi Apple,ReplyDelete
Yes I noticed that too - by sending him to prison Glasgow was still housing and feeding him. When you add in the expense of a court case I don't think they can have saved themselves much money, but no doubt it was the principle of the thing!
I've nominated you for the Ancestor Approved Award. My blog post today will tell you a bit more about it: http://famresearch.wordpress.com/ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to your on-going posts.
I had read that there was a test ward in poorhouses used for suspect cases, and that, in these wards, conditions were a lot tougher, so they could weed out the people who didn't absolutely have to be there. I wonder why they didn't do that with M'Ateer.ReplyDelete

Barbour says Sandy 'broke Romney's momentum'
Haley Barbour is the latest Republican to suggest that Hurricane Sandy has dealt a serious blow to Mitt Romney's quest for the White House.
"The hurricane is what broke Romney's momentum," the former Republican Mississippi governor said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."b"I don't think there's any question about it. Any day that the news media is not talking about jobs and the economy; taxes and spending; deficit and debt; Obamacare and energy; is a good day for Barack Obama."
Barbour, who told POLITICO last week that Sandy took attention away from important domestic issues and was therefore the "Obama campaign's dream" -- on Sunday once again referred to the superstorm that devastated large swathes of the country's East Coast as a force that caused a media "blackout."
"If this election had been held last Friday, the last Friday in October, Romney would have won," Barbour said. "Nothing was stopping Romney momentum. No matter what Obama did, he couldn't stop the momentum. This blackout – I'm not blaming the news media -- all the news coverage was about everything but Obama's policies."
Republican strategist Karl Rove has said that Sandy helped Obama by taking away from the force of Romney's message on the economy. Like Barbour, Rove didn't go as far as to say the race was over. But both men's messages were similar: Sandy was not a helpful October surprise for the Republican presidential nominee.
