When she happens to be Pam Roach.
Last week the State Senate settled a $1.75 million claim that had been filed because of alleged abusive behavior by Roach.
There will be no financial payout, but the settlement continues a ruling that limits what type of interaction can occur between Roach and Senate staff.
It's another political setback for the contentious Roach, who had been kicked out of the Republican state caucus because of what was described as abusive and violent behavior.
The only reason she was allowed back into the caucus was because Republicans needed her vote during a budget battle in the last legislative session.
There's no question that Roach is sometimes a contentious and divisive force in the senate.
But that should be a matter for the folks of her 31st District to deal with.
Voters there have sent her in Olympia since 1990.
She's up for re-election in 2014.
Senate Republicans may not like how she does her job, but she has been elected to do it.
By limiting and/or handcuffing how Pam Roach goes about serving as a state senator, the real impact will be felt by those she is supposed to represent.
Pam Roach may well be a nutcase, but there's got to be a better way to keep her in line so that the people of the 31st District don't suffer the consequences.

Jeannette Wing argues that we should promote "Computational Thinking", e.g., the use of methods and techniques that computer scientists use daily to solve problems (Wing 2006). In particular, she says:
"Computational thinking involves solving problems, designing systems, and understanding human behavior, by drawing on the concepts fundamental to computer science. Computational thinking includes a range of mental tools that reflect the breadth of the field of computer science."
Computational thinking is not the study of computer science, but rather a paradigm that is increasingly becoming more necessary as the traditional liberal arts begin to encounter problems of scale. The concepts of computational thinking include fundamental concepts of computer science including identifying and restating the problem in order to understand the domain and context, analyzing alternative solutions to determine the best way to attack a problem (often using abstraction, decomposition, and tradeoff analysis to make seemingly intractable problems tractable), working in multidisciplinary teams to solve large problems that no one person can solve alone, and putting all of the gained knowledge together in order to produce a solution.
Among others, At Miami University I am currently teaching an introductory course on programming entitled "Fundamentals of Programming and Problem Solving" (affectionately called "CS1"). I recently asked the students about the Miami Plan Principles. The Miami Plan, for those of you not familiar with Miami, is the strategy set forth by the university over 25 years ago to ensure that Miami students were education in the liberal arts. The Miami Plan Principles fall into four different areas:
- (CT) Critical Thinking
- (UC) Understanding Contexts
- (EO) Engaging with Other Learners
- (RA) Reflection and Action
So I asked my students, "How many of you know what the four Miami Plan Principles are?" All I heard were crickets. So I continued, "How many of you have taken Miami Plan courses?" All their hands went up. Is this a problem? Yes, but maybe not for a computer science student and I claim it is because of computational thinking.
To accept my argument you have to understand that the stereotype that many hold to about what practicing computer scientists do are false. They do not lead solitary lives locked away in dark rooms never to see the light of day. Instead, the spend a great deal of their time communicating with others (EO), understanding domains that go beyond the subject of computer science (UC), evaluate an array of concerns and viewpoints while developing alternative solutions (CT), ask questions of their solutions (Did I build the right product? Did I build it the right way?) (RA), and are continually rebuilding, modifying, and reworking as conditions change (RA). In solving the problems this way (e.g., applying the Miami Plan Principles), I claim that they are merely applying computational thinking.
Why is this important? Recently, my colleague Glenn Platt recently asserted the following (Platt 2013):
"We see games as the liberal arts of the 21st century."
You may think that this is just Glenn promoting the gaming program, but I think he is right but that maybe he was thinking too narrowly. It is computation that is the liberal arts of the 21st century! In February, a YouTube video released by Code.org underlines my point (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nKIu9yen5nc):
So, what do we do with this. The Miami Plan asks students to reflect and act and so why don't we? And so I did. My action was this. Back in the beginning of February, Katie Henry, a fourth grade teacher in Brookville, Ohio contacted administrators about presentations they were going to make for a teacher education course in the School of Education, Health and Society at Miami. It was her students' desire that they get a chance to come "see the computer science department". Eventually, this request trickled down to me and I agreed to host this class of twenty-four fourth graders. Originally I suggested that the students come and create Apple iBooks, but Katie pushed back and said the following (Henry 2013):
"Is there any possible way students can still get a behind-the-scenes look at writing code?–Perhaps as a part of our Miami visit? I am highlighting writing code as a 21st century language/literacy skill, best learned while young."
Who could say no to that? Incidentally, her message came four days after the release of the Code.org video! So we put a plan into place. Along with two students, I visited the Brookville school to teach the fourth grade students how to program a Magic 8-Ball app using the MIT Appinventor tool. Ten days later, they finally visited Miami and we started creating a completely new app meant to help students learn arithmetic. We are now following up by creating labs that are meant to help those students continue down this path of learning to code that I believe is more than just a language or literacy skill but rather the best way to learn computational thinking but also the best way to engage in the next greatest liberal art.

American Idol: Controversy Over Joanna Pacitti
January 23, 2009 03:00 PM by Paulene Hinds
Last Wednesday evening, American Idol rolled into Louisville Kentucky. Among the lucky singers to get a golden ticket to Hollywood was one young lady, Joanna Pacitti. Her performance was wonderful, but now it is being marked with controversy. Why? Keeping reading!
Joanna Pacitti is being criticized for using American Idol to boost what people are calling, a well-established career in showbusiness. Joanna Pacitti had been signed to A&M Records in the past, recorded an album as well as having many songs featured on movie soundtracks including; Legally Blonde (Watch Me Shine), Bratz (Out From Under), First Daughter, and Nancy Drew. Joanna Pacitti has also had her songs picked up by big name's in the industry. Her song Out From Under was re-recorded by Britney Spears on her most recent CD, Circus.
After A&M Joanna Pacitti recorded and released an album in 2006, This Crazy Life, on Geffen Records and she has also dated pro dancer and mirror ball trophy winner, Mark Ballas from the hit ABC show Dancing With The Stars.
Many people are saying that Joanna Pacitti is too big to be considered for this amateur competition? Is this the proper venue for someone who has made it as far as she has in the business? It will be interesting to see how far she goes and if the fact that she is so well known will help her or hinder her as she moves into the Hollywood round on American Idolin the next few weeks.

Health Care Again Tops the Agenda, This Time of GOP
WASHINGTON—The new Congress prepared to begin business Wednesday much where lawmakers left off before the November election—battling over the merits of the Democrats' health-care overhaul.
The two parties clashed Tuesday over plans by Republicans, who will take control of the House when Congress reconvenes, to hold a vote next week to repeal the health law. That fight is largely symbolic, as any repeal measure would be rejected by the Democratic-led Senate and President Barack Obama.
But next week's skirmish could help determine the course of the longer battle to come, as House Republicans zero in on more targeted measures to dismantle the law or strip funding needed to implement it. If either party gains ground in public opinion, it will likely gain a strengthened hand in jockeying over the law.
Already, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has begun an effort to push Congress to repeal the law's requirement that larger employers provide insurance or pay a penalty.
"I think we can clearly demonstrate that jobs are not being created because of that provision," said James Gelfand, director of health policy at the Chamber, which opposes the law.
Should efforts to remove the requirement fail, the Chamber will push lawmakers to water it down by minimizing its penalties or exempting more businesses. The National Federation of Independent Business, which represents small employers, is backing the Chamber's push.
Democratic leaders on Tuesday said they would stand firm against any effort to repeal or scale back the law.
"Fruitlessly trying to nick health care reform to death is going to take hundreds of hours of staff time, floor time and member time," said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.). She said the time would be better spent trying to create jobs and improve the economy.
Democrats also sought to contrast the repeal proposal with Republicans' pledge to cut the federal deficit, citing projections that the health law will save the government an estimated $138 billion over 10 years due to tax increases, cuts to Medicare and other changes.
Rep. Eric Cantor (R., Va.), the incoming House majority leader, said voters had rendered a clear verdict against the health law.
"It is a job-killing health care bill that spends money we don't have," he said. Republicans also say cost-savings projections are flawed and that the law will cost money as time goes on.
With Republicans reviving the health fight, other industry groups were restarting efforts to strip away their least favorite pieces of the law.
Insurers were targeting a tax on their industry that starts in 2014 and will total $8 billion that year, arguing that it would mostly get passed on to small employers because it effectively bypasses large firms that are self insured.
Drug makers sought to neutralize a new panel that recommends cuts in Medicare spending.

The Linoleum Economy
Submitted by Peter Tchir of Brean Capital,
The Linoleum Economy
Before reading further, just pause and think about what linoleum means to you. If flooring isn't your thing, go ahead and think about Formica cabinets or anything else that fits the genre.
To me, it is something functional, which looks okay from a distance, but doesn't stand up well to closer inspection. It conveys the disappointment of something that looked good, but turns out only to be a thin veneer covering cheap particle board.
That is how I see the economy right now. I think that at the moment we are getting a bit of a "bounce" from the disastrous first quarter, but that it is far lower than it should be if the underlying economy was strong. Even worse, is I think there is a real chance that the economy slows again, driven by a weakness in housing, and the Fed has very few useful tools left, if that happens.
But before going into more detail on why I have that view of the economy and what I think it means for the market, let's look at what others are thinking.
The 2007 Recession
I won't spend more than a moment on this, but I still find it "perplexing" if not insane, that the recession that started in December 2007 wasn't "identified" until December 2008. We were only told that we had been in a recession for a year AFTER Lehman failed and AIG was bailed out.
I understand the saying "better late than never" but seriously, this is a bit ridiculous. It really shouldn't have taken a -765,000 NFP print to confirm to the powers that be, that the economy had already been sucking wind for a year.
I am not saying that the same thing is happening again, but I would not be handing out any awards for seeing what is right before your eyes to the group of prognosticators responsible for seeing bad things in the economy.
Which brings us right to Q1 2014 GDP.
I do not know what the expectations were back in January of this year. But I do know that by the time the first release of GDP came out, we all knew the weather had been bad.
Expectations had been ratcheted down to 1.5%, yet the number was an appallingly low 0.1%. A huge miss.
As more data came out, the economists could refine their forecasts. They came in at -0.5% and once again the estimates were too optimistic as the actual number was -1.0%. Maybe not quite as embarrassing as the initial miss, but...
While I have heard some "positives" like inventory build will help Q2, I have heard any things that show we may have gotten lucky to "only" be at -1%. It seems many people were surprised how much of a "positive" impact Obamacare had on the numbers. There is also a debate that is getting louder by the day, that the real inflation rate is higher than the reported inflation rate, artificially making Real GDP seem higher than it is.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
They had two chances to get this number right and missed both times by being too optimistic. Why are we so eager to believe the optimism most share for the first quarter? The fool me once phrase resonates with me right now.
Mailing it In
I promise I am almost done picking on our "ability" to forecast GDP, but I cannot resist showing this one last chart on the street's view of GDP.
Consensus GDP Forecasts
GDP is fully expected to bounce back to just over 3% for Q2 and then settle into a nice cozy run rate of 3.0%. All is good, right?
Not so fast. The data just looks careless. The prior 5 quarters have been 1.1%, 2.5%, 4.1%, 2.6%, and -1%. The average isn't anywhere close to 3% and the numbers have shown no consistency.
I would be much more comfortable with the chart if I saw some peaks and valleys in the estimates. I would like to see some evidence in the data that the estimates include any seasonal adjustment issues the data is experiencing (post Lehman, many adjustments seem to fail frequently as they are not good at adapting to 7 standard deviation moves). Maybe there is something that should be helping drive one quarter versus another quarter. (Obamacare? Heck even a new iPhone).
There is little evidence much real work has gone into these projections, but then again, why should there, when the Fed is already telling us what to expect and has no shame in being wrong.
The Fed's Forecasts
Enough picking on the little guy. Let's move straight to the Fed. The Fed has become the single biggest market driver. Between zero rates, forward guidance, QE, taper, and whatever else the Fed chooses to throw at the market, they drive the market more than ever.
With more than $60 billion of annual interest income, just from their treasury holdings alone, they are the biggest single player in the treasury market.
What they say and think matters. This almost omnipotent entity must have the ability to analyze and forecast the economy better than anyone else. Surely, anyone with so much power must be basing their decisions on analysis that time and again comes true. And clearly if the Fed says the economy is going to be okay, then it has to be okay.
So what is the Fed telling us? Fortunately, on June 18th we will get updated projections for the Federal Reserve, but for now let us look at what they are currently telling us.
Where to start with this data?
We will ignore the member who didn't get the memo that growth is "good" and made the mistake of picking 2.1% for 2014 rather than the party line of "just about 3.0%"
To get 3.0% for this year, after a quarter of -1% we need to average 4.3% for the remaining 3 quarters. Seems highly unlikely when even the "bounce" quarter is tracking sub 3% so far as I can tell.
How we jump to 3.1% next year remains unclear to me, especially as QE and any impact it had will be gone
I am not exactly sure how 2.9% this year, 3.1% next year, and 2.75% in 2016 leads to a "longer run" average of 2.25%. 3 years of well above average growth, followed by some indeterminate amount of time [insert some hand waving here] then finally settling into a very stable long term future, much below any current levels we are told to expect.
Maybe we should ignore their near term projections and assume that their "in the longer run" projections are what they really believe is achievable and not the near term stuff they are using to try and use optimism as a policy tool. I find it far more believable that the economy is currently hovering around a 2.25% trend (still high, but at least believable). A 2.25% trend, when couple with some level of cyclicality, and some element of randomness in the data, should produce some negative quarters alongside some 4% quarters (exactly what we seem to be getting).
But maybe I am not giving the Fed enough benefit of the doubt. Maybe they really believe the near term will outperform the sustainable long term rate by so much. Maybe it is carefully thought out analysis that leads them to the conclusions. Maybe they are just that much better at this than anyone else.
So here we are back in December 2012 – not even 18 months ago.
2013 came in at 2.5%. Lower then their central tendency of 2.65%. Honestly, not a bad guess on their part.
But 2014 was going to be a breakout year hitting 3.25% and 2015 was going to be 3.35%. Those have already started to be nudged down. Maybe the Fed knows something about 2015 weather that we don't?
The "low" guess (I really can't keep calling these estimates with a straight face) for 2014 was 2.8%. That fell to 2.1%.
Even more worrisome to me is that the "longer run" number, which I believe they think is the real sustainable level, dropped on average since their 2012 projections. Some wild eyed optimist thought the long run could be sustained at 3%. That person either didn't understand long run, has left the Fed, or has to come to their senses put in 2.4%.
So in the long run, no one at the Fed thinks a rate higher than 2.4% is sustainable.
Another good time to pause. We are supposed to get a few years of 3% growth when no one believes that the longer run potential best case is above 2.4%. When wondering whether the short term numbers are a realistic assessment of any real data, or just wishful thinking meant to encourage the public, I would be leaning heavily towards the latter.
I will point out that last June, someone thought that the average guess of 3.25% was so low, they submitted a 3.6% guess for 2014 GDP.
Last June's report was actually the one report that really got the "growth juices" flowing. The Fed looks like they were wrong. Again.
I will say it again, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me".
Don't Get Fooled Again
I was wondering how I could turn this note a little more upbeat, and if I can't do it with the content, at least I can put a loud song into your head for the weekend.
But the message is serious:
- Economists missed the first quarter GDP by a wide margin, not once, but twice
- The Fed has missed growth expectations repeatedly and has been ratcheting down longer term growth forecasts
- While GDP estimates are being revised up or 2014 estimates are now only "going forward" estimates, look around and see if it makes sense.
When your sources consistently overestimate growth, you can either continue to go along for the ride, or you can "adjust" the expectations down, which is what I am doing.
The Linoleum Economy
If everything is so "good" then why are we getting data points such as the following
Maybe you can see the pattern of accelerating growth, but I can't.
Again, I look at the data, and I can see some evidence of being better than prior years, but I think I would rather have back 2011's data. Maybe this spike in March is creating some new trendline, or maybe, just like every other March for the past 4 years, it will be a local high as some adjustment process isn't working.
Whatever bounce we got, after a horrific December seems to be fading, and wasn't as strong as some earlier bounces. This does not look like a longer run average affected by weather, it looks like a longer run average affected by the inability to the unwillingness of people to purchase homes.
Are Stocks Pricing in too Much Growth?
I believe the answer is yes, and it is important this time, because QE has become more than just a monetary policy of dubious quality, it is becoming a political issue, domestically and internationally, so it won't be run in a way to help the markets like it was last time.

What idiot would believe govt numbers after all the made up lies and bullshit over the last 20 years.....please!
Maybe someone that knows the real numbers could please recap the last 20 years.
Transparency. ...LOL
+2% GDP < I think this is about right
-2% GDP < I think this is about right
Here's some transparency... if you want to calculate real GDP by counting lettuce and beans the old fashioned way...
Looks like GDP has been running at about -2% (+/-) for the last three or four years. Does that feel about right?
(And that is gdp with trillions and trillions in deficit spending... trillions more in asset purchases... and probably trillions more again in unreported pentagon spending...)
Linoleum, supports my head, gives me something to believe.
Metal meter in my hand...sporting a pocket full of change.
Wait until the guy writing this article finds out all the numbers are figments of someone's imagination, bearing no relation whatsoever to reality.
I rather enjoy watching the analyst types trying to make sense of government stats, never once questioning the source. It's sort of a fitting punishment for them for blindly believing people who have demonstrated no ability to tell the truth.
A woman from ghetto Detroit walks into the local drug store and axes the man behind the counter....I am having my time of the month, can you recommend something?
Man says, whats's your flow like? Woman responds....
Actually the funniest part is that she would not need to be from the ghetto in Detroit, she might be from Beverly Hills.
yeah... just watching a debate here about why deflation has caused Europen growth to grind down and why we need negative bond rates of -0,25% and why we should limit cash withdrawls to counter panick to keep liquidity in the system blablabla blabla bla....
it's pissing me off right now to hear that crap!
and to keep deposito rates also that low untill they get their 2% inflation mark and sure... they should print more money and hyperinflation is something only panicky people who don't understand economics believe in...
oh dear...
Everyone know the FedRes sacrifices a unicorn and reads its entrails for their forecasts.
This highly accurate method precognition leads its leaders to classic statements like;
Sub prime is contained......
It conveys the disappointment of something that looked good, but turns out only to be a thin veneer covering cheap particle board.
But somehow tile or slate over the same shitty OSB would be better?....are there any other practical and economical building products Peter would like to demonize before heading home to his blessed maple cabinets and granite countertops?
Years ago, in my home in Glendale, CA, I had a Linoleum floor in the (so-called master 1907) bedroom.
Boy, when WINTER came (read K-WAVE) that S.O.B. was one cold PUPPY on the bare feet. KINDA
Like I believe the Indonesian trained fellow has in store for his non-international Americans.
I read his book and what Walid shoeabt wrote about him in ISLAMOPHOBIA - we are in for not my 40 degree for:
NOPE that S.O.B. wants to freeze the Americans like the mamoths got frozen by the MINUS 400 degree COMET
- don't lick IT. The FLOOR that is...
Not only is the current high inflation in food and fuel not accounted for, what about the mega-billion print spawned by the Fed? Far as I can tell, that's not being backed out of the GDP report. Truth told, we're probably negative 8-10%.
"looks okay from a distance"?
What, are you currently viewing from the Space Station?
Same thing for a laminate floor.
Looks great and wears very well as long as you don't chip it.
Belgium will levitate our economy
"doesn't stand up well to closer inspection"........is the $ made out of linoleum as well?
Linoleum is expensive and hipster.
Linoleum, as the word suggests (i.e. lin-oleum) is derived from linseed oil, one of the many useful products of the flax plant. Linseed oil is one of the more popular drying oils known since antiquity. The term 'drying oil' can be confusing for people who are unfamiliar with it, so perhaps a word of explanation is in order. We do not mean to say that it evaporates like a puddle of water evaporates when it dries, nor that it solvates and removes water (as in 'alcohol is a drying solvent'). We mean to say that it hardens, it undergoes an oxidation process that forms oxide cross-bridges between units of linolenic acid; it dries in the sense that paint dries. In fact, it is the reason that paint dries. Linseed oil has been used as a natural paint base for centuries.
To make linoleum the linseed oil is mixed with an oxidizer and baked; this accelerates its natural drying abilities. In this form it can be blended with various admixtures to alter its properties: it can be plasticized to differing degrees of hardness, it can be dyed to any color and textured to any finish, and it can be extruded into almost any shape. In other words, linoleum is a very versatile, inexpensive, naturally occuring plastic that serves humanity in innumerable ways -- just one of the many gifts God has given us through the humble flax plant.
I only wish we had an economy as good as linoleum.
Not to mention its usefulness as a fiber over the ages. You can still pick up a "Cane Brake" in Pennsylvania, a heavy table with legs and a very heavy arm which was used to smash the straw, removing the pulpy mash to get the strong fibers... linen. You can use the brake on hemp which was an equally important grain and fiber, abandoned but that, now that pot is legal almost everywhere, needs to be brought back. After the EMP a hemp or flax farm, a break, water, a mill all useful.
It is the "Feral Reserve", make no mistake. Like packs of feral animals (which is exactly what TPTB are) they parasitically latch onto all of the people to suck what remaining blood we may have. Abolish this bankster's cabal once and for all! We gotta TAKE the power back! They ain't just gonna let go. Think tick removal.
Linoleum is the flooring of choice for mobile home living as it flexes when the wind blows.
Back in the day there were a couple of home improvement companies with logo'd trucks running around San Jose, one was "Linoleum Dick's" and the other was "Quick Mounting and Finishing Company".
I hope that helps.
you would be better off calling it Synthetic.
There are fake elements to our economy.
Just like Synthetic CDO's, as opposed to the Real CDOs.

It places the manufactured cars in the farmers field.
We must differentiate the kinds of economic growth and understand that all growth is not created equal. If you spend money but afterwards have little to show for it you have wasted it. Sadly, much of the money America "invests in itself" each year through government spending and programs falls into this category.
We need the right kind of economic growth to propel us forward. It must be sustainable, with a purpose, well directed, and have long lasting benefits. It should be in harmony with the environment and at the same time make economic sense. An example of failure is that over the years our government has spent a fortune upgrading hospitals and colleges. This has driven up the cost of using both to where many Americans can no longer afford to visit or attend either. More on this subject in the article below.
"How we jump to 3.1% next year remains unclear to me, especially as QE and any impact it had will be gone...I am not exactly sure how 2.9% this year, 3.1% next year, and 2.75% in 2016 leads to a "longer run" average of 2.25%."
The Fed will MAKE it so...

text: Hi, I'm about to set up Zimbra Open Source on a Red Hat Fedora Core box for evaluation purposes. Our current mail server gets hammered with disk I/O in part due to Amavis having to open file attachments and related things. The evaluation server has lots of ram, and I figure create a ram disk for Amavis. I'm both Debian guy and completely new to Zimbra, so what directories would I want to mount on the ram disk? Obviously the resulting mail files should be written to disk, I'm just trying to increase performance on mail processing.

Here's the rundown on the SF Symphony's Black and White Ball: Paul Simon. Cyndi Lauper. SF Symphony. June 2nd. Civic Center. All. For. A. Great. Cause.
With its unique indoor/outdoor block party approach and killer pop/rock lineup, this is one fundraiser that pushes the society event boundaries. That said, why not push back a little with an edgier take on black tie attire?
Look of the Week: Spring Blues
Boy, we've got the blues.

Look of the Week: 7 Men's Cardigans for the Shifty Weather
It's sweater weather – no doubt about it – and cardigans are the answer. The versatility factor alone makes them a wardrobe essential for every San Francisco man. And don't let anyone tell you a button-down knit isn't manly, because it is. In fact, men's cardigans are stylish, practical and quite flattering when worn correctly. Here's how.

I was talking with someone about the Entity Framework, and I'm not really into it yet, but I'd like to learn it. However, I'm still kinda confused whether I should learn it or not. I've heard a lot of people saying you shouldn't use the entity framwork, however I haven't heared any arguments why that is.
So my question is, what are the pro's and con's of using the Entity Framework compared to other products. Like
- NHibernate
- DataObjects.Net
- etc..
In terms of ease of use, testability, semantics...
I know there are some duplicate questions about this. But they are all kinda outdated (2008,2009) and to be honest, the arguments are also lacking something. I know Entity Framework 4.0 is available, and I haven't found a good (complete) comparison yet.
Some of the nice people here have answered my question by explaining some details on the different frameworks. Thought it might be good to show them here for future reference.

As Newscenter 11 reported earlier this week, Cong. Chip Pickering is considering a $1 million a year lobbyist job. We also learned Friday that Pickering has postponed making his final decision until Monday. He had been expected to reveal it Friday.
The underlying reason for Pickering's possible resignation from congress is money; $1 million a year as a lobbyist as opposed to $155,000 as a congressman.
To the man on the street, $155,000 may sound like a great deal of money. But republican gubernatorial candidate Haley Barbour, who spent a lot of time in Washington said it really isn't.
"The problem for most people in Congress is they live in two places. They don't just have a place in Washington," Barbour said. "They have a home and they spend lots and lots of time at home, especially members of the house who have to run every two years. And someone who makes that kind of money and has to have a house in Washington and a place in Mississippi and is going back and forth all the time, it's very hard to save anything if you've got five children. I can't imagine what it's like."
Newscenter 11 has also learned Pickering plans to sell his house in Washington, buy a small farm in Madison County and move the family back to Mississippi.

Don't have time to volunteer at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen? What can you do and act as an example for your family? As food prices rise, food banks are suffering too! Here are a few simple ways you can help:
- You can help by hosting a food drive or transport food to a charitable organization. Locate a food bank in your area through Feeding America's web site feedingamerica.org [1] (formerly America's Second Harvest) or check your local yellow pages!
- If you involve children in collecting the food, have them come with you to the food bank to sort and put the items away. Then have them fill the orders for the people using the bank. It goes a long way for kids to actually fill grocery bags with food and know it is going to a family in need. This teaches them the consequences – benefits – of giving and will make a lasting impression on them.
- Plant a vegetable garden with your kids [1], and have them take the bounty to a neighbor who may not get out much and may need fresh produce. Or take it down to a soup kitchen or food bank. Encourage your neighbors to do the same.
- Contact your local church or synagogue help establish programs to feed the hungry in your area. Do they have a pretty lawn? Wouldn't a vegetable garden to feed the hungry be more appropriate? Put Faith into action - suggest it and get it started!
We are the co-founders of Buttoned Up, inc., a company dedicated to helping stretched and stressed women get themselves organized and co-authors of "Everything (almost) In Its Place [2]." We welcome your thoughts! Please send ideas and questions to us at: firstname.lastname@example.com [3] or visit us at www.getbuttonedup.com [4]

Stadttheater Bern ~ Flag
I'm curious about this book, fist because I found it on "Nieves" and second because the image is so fun and fascinating. But check this out--Between 2004 and 2007, Flag (Dimitri Broquard and Bastien Aubry) designed more than 60 posters for the "Stadttheater Bern" (Switzerland). This booklet contains a selection of 15 pieces. Each original poster has a size of 90 x 128 cm and is silkscreened.
Love these beautiful graphic pillows. Just one is all you need to make a huge statement in your home.
Two color design that works best on white or light walls. The recommended colors are Garnet and Navy, but the choice is yours. Goes well with Americana or Country decor.Tags: humor, modern, interior design, home decor, wall arts, vinyl, graphic, dresses, stickersAdded 8 Years Ago from Tradingphrases
Cool graphic tee.
Twenty-four flags in twelve different designs. I found hese on a site for kids, but the designs are sophisticated enough for adults.
These fabric flags are reuseable so you cut back on party decoration waste. Twenty-for flags in 12 different designs. Great idea for kids' outdoor parties.

Reunion Weekend June 3-5, 2016
The Bachelor of Science in Communication is a more general program, giving students the opportunity to explore each of the other Communication programs offered at Endicott College (Digital Journalism, Marketing Communication, and Digital Film Making) as well as topics exploring the internet and computer-mediated communication.
Programs of Study:
Through their course work, students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Communication explore the many ways media impacts the individual and society, locally and internationally. Because Communication is a more general major, students also complete hands-on work within their communication courses. Additionally, students may begin their studies in the Communication major and then move into another Communication major or concentration as their interests develop.
Communication graduates leave Endicott with a full toolbox of skills that enable them to enter a variety of fields.

I always believed that Labour had lost it's fight because it had lost sight of it's purpose. I was wrong. The party machines remains acutely aware of that purposes, it just chooses to ignore it.

Kirstie Allsopp is not telling every woman that she needs to have a baby, flat and nice boyfriend by 27. I'm sure that in the light her comments to the telegraph she will be railed against for these suggestions, made as they were to her theoretical daughter. She is however most certainly a feminist and I'd argue many of her other beliefs far more radical than the average.
If you don't like Jeremy Clarkson or Top Gear, don't watch it. If you don't like Jeremy's political views, don't read his Sunday Times column.

If you are one of the many people who hadn't heard of SuicideGirls until a couple of days ago, then let me clear things up for you. Despite the name and some of the press reports that it makes death look good; it's not some sort of Pro-ana website for suicide. It's simply a community of people who challenge the ideals of beauty and also celebrates alternative cultures.
Usually the month of August is referred to as the silly season. The political exploitation of 14-year-old schoolgirl Hannah Smith's suicide by both tabloid and broadsheet newspapers suggests we might have to rechristen it the sinister season. Even for a press like ours, with its many well-known moral lapses, the shroud-waving over Hannah's death marks a new low.

Alex Witt | January 19, 2014
>>> jr. day and it's when the nation stops to honor and remember the life and accomplishments of the late civil rights icon known for his nonviolent activism, in the efforts to try to end racial discrimination in this country. yet as we celebrate his legacy, theodore johnson says it is vitally important that we remember martin luther king jr . was just an everyday man. he joins me now from washington, d.c. with a welcome to you, we took a look at your piece. it's coming out tomorrow on grio.com. part of it has a quote here. by humanizing the historic figure, we make his significant accomplishments more accessible and tangible to us all. so explain what you mean there and why you think it's important to see him as a regular guy.
>> first of all, thanks for having me, alex.
>> glad you're here.
>> i'll tell you, my first image of martin luther king was on the back of a church van in the southern baptist church i grew up in, and the only other person that had a van was jesus. so we get this heroic caricature for those who did not grow up with doctor. king while he was alive. so he seems sort of other worldly. the problem with that is when you see him as this figure who accomplished things that are unattainable otherwise, you start to question whether your efforts and talents can be brought to bear to address the problems of the nation. and so when we see him as a regular guy, then we start to see him in our brothers and uncles and family members and in ourselves and that gives us the inspiration and makes his legacy more accessible.
>> you make reference in your piece that he wrote for ebony a poem called "advice for living." you say it gives us a glimpse at his approachability and nursing counsel. it's the same advice that you yourself would give a loved one. so why is this important?
>> because like in that column, he talks about civil rights movements . so some of the answers we expect to hear. but when a young lady writes in and says that she's being pressured into doing things she doesn't want to by men she'd like to date, he gives advice that's like a grandfather. and so when i look back and think about the advice that i got from my grandfather or the legacy i carry from my grandfather, it makes me feel that i have more to give to the nation, to the country, more to offer than something maybe not on par with what dr. king did, but certainly something that can contribute to the betterment of the nation. when we start to see doctor. king -- dr. king in all of us, it's not a mistake on dr. king's holiday they call it a day on, not a day off. that's because the bit of him that resides in each of us, the drive to do something bigger and better is something that we should call on on that day. and that's how we truly honor the legacy.
>> do you think there's a limit, though, to humanizing dr. king? for example, as you know through the several fliers that have surfaced and sparked outrage, there's one advertising a dance party showing him as a rapper with tattoos and a large gold chain there. i mean, are these at all appropriate?
>> no, these are wholly inappropriate. if there is any explanation for these -- and i don't think there is anyone that is truly satisfactory, it is an attempt, again, to humanize him, to modernize him. it's done distastefully. it's disrespectful. but i think at the core of this, for those aside from the money making aspect of this and the inappropriateness, there is some drive in all of us, some kernel in each of us that wants to make him accessible today. it's a horrible attempt. it's much better to try to help the homeless or mentor children or do something to help the country that doesn't put dr. king in an inappropriate light.
>> looking forward to having your article published tomorrow. it's really good. thank you very much.

Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The 80 metre, 22 storey building has gone on the property market with a £5m price tag.The building is the current home of the Parades Commission and currently generates a £200,000 yearly income from its various tenants.The property includes two retails units and a car park for 96 vehicles.Commercial estate agents, CBRE have been appointed to manage the sale of the Bedford Street property and say it would be ideal for offices, conversion to a hotel or even student accommodation.Gavin Elliott, CBRE said: "Windsor House offers a unique opportunity to refurbish a landmark building, in a tax efficient manner."Belfast has developed into one of Ireland's premier business cities and has been extremely successful in attracting foreign direct investment."However, one issue has been the lack of quality office space in the city and a comprehensive refurbishment of this property will provide much-needed accommodation as well as strong fundamentals for rental growth in the future." © UTV Share Share Share

Tomorrow I am off for my second annual QT2 training weekend. MY second, I'm sure there were more before me. I'm pretty sure the weather looks good, which is nice to take care of one of those things we have no control over. Last year we lucked out in that in a month where it literally rained almost ever single day we really didn't have it too bad, only a bit of rain on I think one of our rides (although I was definitely awakened in the middle of the night due to a nasty thunderstorm once)
When I signed on to this camp it was supposed to be more of an intensity-oriented camp rather than last year where the focus was putting in huge miles in the final push to Lake Placid. See, I wasn't supposed to have to do another Ironman in July, but you know, circumstances change and I somehow procured a slot and now it is all about volume again. The volume will be less than last time, but a 7-hour bike ride is arduous whether or not you have to ride a whole lot more on the other days of the weekend. Fortunately, I am not the only one of my teammates who is racing in a month, so I will be far from alone. While I don't make a habit of training with other people, it is definitely a nice change of pace, especially when you get close to the race and mentally the training becomes a lot more difficult.
So I will be gone Thursday through Sunday, getting in plenty of swimming, biking and running. I'm not really upset that I've found myself in the position to race in Lake Placid again. In fact, all season long I was thinking how strange it would be to let the end of July show up and not be heading up there to race for the first time since 2003. Sure, it'd be nice not to have to do it, but at the same time, I'm kind of glad not to be missing out. Now if I could somehow find my long lost confidence in my racing abilities, things would be a lot better.
So I may or may not be able to update while I'm there. I remember from last year that theoretically we were supposed to have wifi at the house we were staying at, but it was definitely not the case. All I know is that I am sure that whatever happens, I will be ready to thoroughly enjoy a bit of rest starting on Monday before the final taper weeks of training. I can't believe I have to do it all again so soon. But it will be nice to take on a much "easier" course than last time.

text: Home Culture Cleveland: It's No Longer Mister Rogers' Neighborhood Against the backdrop of the Cleveland kidnapping saga and the heroism of rescuer Charles Ramsey, Nikki Woods explores at BlackAmericaWeb.com how the concept of community, when everyone knew their neighbor, has been lost. By: Nikki Woods Posted: May 15 2013 12:06 AM 0 Neighbor Charles Ramsey recounts the rescue of kidnapping victims. (WEWS screenshot) In light of the Cleveland kidnapping saga and the heroism of rescuer Charles Ramsey, Nikki Woods explores at BlackAmericaWeb.com how the concept of community, when everyone knew their neighbor, has been lost. The Cleveland hostage situation has sparked a lot of conversation about who's actually living next door ... and what you know about them. When I was growing up, we knew every single person that lived on Hinsdale Court and we were very involved in each other's lives. In fact, more often than not my neighbors knew more about what was going on in my life than I did ... in a good way. I was raised in a loving community. Back in the day ... It was the one neighbor you DIDN'T know in your hood that was the person of interest. These days, we tend to only know one or two neighbors -- if that -- and now, we're wondering whether that needs to change. Who knew the practice of not reaching out to your neighbor actually had a name? Well, it does. Cocooning. "Cocooning", according to those who study it, is a growing trend of people retreating into their homes and socializing less often in public. Some of the reasons given are dependence on social media for everything from chatting with friends and family to shopping. Many of us have designed our homes to provide every single comfort making it almost unnecessary to leave ... not even to go to work. One in 5 or 60 percent of Americans forfeit their daily commutes to do their jobs from a home office ... Charles Ramsey has been the butt of lots of jokes because of his appearance, his animated interviews and later the reports that he had a checkered past. But when his neighbors needed him, he was there. The woman that ran to his arms might not have given him the time of day if she'd seen him on the street and neither would a lot of us.

Kim Smith goes up for a shot past Iowa State's Katie Robinette. (AP Photo/Gary Kazanjian)
March 19, 2005
By JANIE McCAULEY
AP Sports Writer
FRESNO, Calif. - Once Utah finally found its shooting touch, the Utes showed just why they are so dangerous from long range.
Kim Smith had 22 points and eight rebounds and 10th-seeded Utah rallied from a 15-point first-half deficit to beat Iowa State 73-61 in the first round of the Kansas City Regional on Saturday night.
Julie Wood made three 3-pointers after halftime to finish with 17 points and Shona Thorburn added 15 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds and five steals for the Utes, who advanced to the NCAA tournament's second round for the third time in three trips and the second time in three years.
Utah (26-7) has won eight of its last nine and will play either top-ranked Stanford, seeded second, or No. 15 Santa Clara on Monday night. The Utes hosted the Cardinal for both teams' season opener Nov. 19 and Stanford won 63-57.
After shooting 33.3 percent in the first half, Utah made eight of its first 10 shots in the opening 5:31 of the second half, getting nine from Wood.
She converted three free throws with 16:40 left to pull the Utes to 39-35, then made a 3-pointer the next time down the floor to make it 41-38. Lyndsey Medders hit a 3 for the seventh-seeded Cyclones (23-7) moments later, but Wood then came up big again from long range to tie the game at 44 with 14:39 to play.
Smith's 3 from the top of the arc at 14:10 gave the Utes their first lead, then Thorburn's layin with 13:21 to go capped an 11-0 run that put Utah in control.
Smith, who shared Mountain West Conference player of the year honors, bounced back with a big game after being held to 10 points on 3-for-17 shooting in a loss to New Mexico in the conference tournament title game.
The Cyclones shared the national lead with their 8.8 3-pointers per game and were ninth in percentage (38.7). Utah, which led the Mountain West Conference, averaged 7.0 3s per game and shot 36.8.
It was a quick Fresno homecoming for Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly, an assistant at Fresno State during his early coaching days from 1981-86 - nearly two decades before the $103 million Save Mart Center was built.
The Utes, in their 13th NCAA tournament, defeated DePaul 73-64 in the first round in 2003.
The Cyclones, making their seventh tournament appearance as one of six Big 12 teams in the draw, also faced Utah in their first trip to the NCAA tournament in 1997, losing 66-57. Fennelly and Utes coach Elaine Elliott both were on the sideline for that game.
Utah came out sloppy and missed 12 of its first 17 shots, while Iowa State shot 53.8 in the first half and made 6-for-11 3-pointers for a 34-26 halftime lead.
The Cyclones boast that four players have navel rings and three are tattooed. Freshman guard Seirra Dawson has both.

How Millennials Are Changing the Worlds of Media and eCommerce
While demographers and marketing executives may argue over how to define generations, they agree about the impact that Generation Y -- no matter which set of age parameters you use -- is having on communications technology, ecommerce, and the media.
It's huge, as several recent reports document.
For example, a recent study from Barkley reports that Millennials aged 16-34:
- Watch much less TV than other Americans (26 percent v. 47 percent).
- But watch many more TV shows on laptops (42 percent v. 18 percent), and other devices.
- Are much more likely to be influenced by their friends about where to shop, etc. (70 percent v. 45 percent).
- Like to check out brands on social media sites more than older Americans (53 percent v. 36 percent).
- Like brands more if on social media sites (33 percent v. 17 percent).
Led by 19-Year-Old Founder, Kiip Launches New Ad Model Based on "Emotional ROI"
Everywhere you look these days, people are playing games on their mobile devices. Business travelers at the airport, kids on the bus, restaurant patrons waiting for meals –– they all seem to be gaming in 5-10 minute spurts.
Meanwhile, as is the case with all types of original content, creating all those cool (free) games is an expensive proposition, so the same problem plaguing all types of digital media hangs over the gaming industry –– how to pay for it all?
Brian Wong thinks he may have found an answer. The 19-year-old founder of the advertising startup Kiip (pronounced Keep), unveiled his unique approach earlier this week.
It can be summarized in Kiip's tagline: "Real Rewards for virtual achievements."

The Key Brothers Diamond Anniversary Air Show was not as successful as coordinators had hoped.
Those involved with organizing the event say they are unsure if it was the heat, ticket prices, or other scheduled events that prevented the stands from filling up.
"We were just a little disappointed in the crowd," said Burt Zeller, air show coordinator. "We were way below where we thought we would be. We probably had about 2-3,000 people a day. We needed about 10,000 a day. Don't know what happened. To have such a fine air show as we did, all the people that put this on, our committee. We're just a little upset. "
Zeller went on to add that he is still extremely thankful for the volunteers, pilots, and sponsors that helped make the air show possible.

Reliance Industries Limiteds (RIL) R1.8 lakh crore investment plansto be executed over just three yearsis in keeping with its long-term strategy of both building on its existing businesses and expanding into new areas. The firm has always been willing to commit serious capital to both existing and new spaces and, at its annual general meeting last year, it had announced it would be investing R1.5 lakh crore. Given its large cash flows, it is not surprising the firm ventured out into new areas. The telecom piece has been in the making for a few years now and RIL is looking at a big bang pan-India rollout of the 4G network next year. The telecom services business has been viewed by analysts with some degree of anxiety; they believe it may not succeed in generating a good enough return, of, say, 10%, on the projected investment of $14 billion, which pencils in a $4 billion ebitda loss to pick up market share. Kotak Institutional Equities, for instance, feels the firm will need to garner a market share of 30-40% in both the voice and data spaces before the returns can be decent.
Meanwhile, the other consumer-focused business, RILs retail venture, is clearly gaining scale. However, given the small margins, the turnover will need to treble from the current level of R14,496 crore for the profits to contribute meaningfully to the companys consolidated bottom line. Till then, the core petrochemicals and refining businesses will drive earnings; indeed, the bulk of RILs investments have been earmarked for its petrochemicals expansion. RILs refining segment continues to do well as reflected in the strong gross refining margin of $9.3 per barrel reported in Q4FY14. The Street has been concerned about how soon gas production from the companys KGD6 basin will be ramped up and how soon the government will raise gas prices. Together with a steady rise in output, a price of $8 per mmbtu or thereabouts would make a big difference to the companys bottom line leaving it with larger cash flows for new ventures.

Strengthening American Democracy
MacArthur today announced nine grants totaling more than $1.2 million to support information sharing and research on the role of money in politics and efforts to improve election administration.
Over the last years, MacArthur has been exploring how to strengthen democracy in the U.S., given the widespread view that the political system has failed to address adequately major issues confronting the nation, from climate change to healthcare, from our fiscal future to the criminal justice system, from immigration to education. The rising frustration of citizens, documented in poll after poll, is influenced by an economy that is improving too slowly, a sense that the social and cultural ground is shifting in unpredictable ways, and a perception on the part of many that the political system is distorted by the large amounts of money being spent on campaigns.
"The recent government shutdown demonstrated once again that our public debate is too partisan, too shrill, too heavily influenced by campaign fundraising, and too often grounded in ideology rather than evidence. Yet virtually all of the work that we do as a foundation requires thoughtful and responsive public policy and an effective government," said MacArthur President Robert Gallucci, who recently published an opinion-editorial about the need for philanthropy to do more to help address the challenges facing American democracy. "MacArthur is proud to make these additional investments in strengthening our democracy."

Open Marriage Isn't So BadSierra Black
Newt Gingrich's ex-wife is making headlines today saying he asked her for an open marriage before their divorce.
While that seems like a slimy request from a cheater trying to wiggle out of having betrayed his wife, Newt's not alone in wanting non-monogamy. Anywhere from 1 % to 10% of couples are living intentionally non-monogamous lives.
My husband and I are among them, and we're pretty happy with our arrangement.
Tonight after we tuck the kids in, my husband will kiss me goodnight and head over to his girlfriend's house. It's not a secret or a problem; that's just how our marriage works. We both have other partners.
I don't know what we'd do without them. Our friends and family are wonderful, but it's my girlfriend I call when I need a ride to the hospital with a sick kid. There's something about the intimacy of a romantic relationship that makes me feel better about asking her if I can bring my vomiting child in her car.
I don't know how monogamous couples do it.
Of course everyone has their own unique support systems, and you don't have to sleep with someone to build strong bonds of love and trust. I know most people prefer monogamy as the best way to get that bond of trust with their partner.
Some people do prefer non-monogamy, though, and for them it's a perfectly fine option. Going out on a date with my girlfriend doesn't cause any more drama around here than going out to my book club. Being honest and relaxed about desires outside my marriage makes my partnership with my husband closer and more authentic.
My marriage started out open, and has always been honest. I can't imagine being in Newt's lying cheating shoes, trying to piece together an open marriage in the wreckage of an affair. I know about half of married people cheat at some point in their lives, so plenty of people must go through that scenario.
What do you think? Are you shocked that Newt might have asked his ex-wife for an open marriage? Would you consider it yourself?
