text:
Because, in my mind, there is little question economic conditions will worsen, and our economic assessments have been spot on for the most part, I believe the market is not reflecting the economic weakness that exists, but it will.
Some in our government are suggesting the economic conditions of today are a hangover from the credit crisis, and in many ways those observations are right, but they are right for the wrong reasons. The tail does not wag the dog, and although we might like to assume that the credit crisis is what caused the mess we are in today, that is not true..
Slow growth was coming with or without the credit crisis, and it will continue with or without QE programs. Neither QE 1, 2, 3 or infinity, nor the credit crisis, governs real economic conditions, but instead it is a simpler part of what was once defined as supply and demand that matters.
In order for the economy to grow, people need to invest in it, and in order for them to do that, they must also have money to invest. Without immediately bringing "reason to invest" into the equation, a simple focus on the "having money" part is extremely interesting.
The Investment Rate, a study produced in 2002 (spanning 1900-2030), defines the rate of change in the natural flow of new investment dollars available to be invested into the U.S. economy; it is this crucial component that truly governs economic growth over longer-term periods. More details about the Investment Rate can be found on Stock Traders Daily.
Longer-term economic cycles are based solely on the amount of new investment dollars available to be invested into the economy over time, everything else becomes noise in this longer-term trend. One might argue that QE creates new investment dollars, but that is not true. It does create a surplus of free cash, but the definition of new investment dollars does not reside within the balance sheets of the banks and financial institutions that are benefiting from these QE programs, examples include Bank of America (BAC), JP Morgan (JPM), Citigroup (C) and Wells Fargo (WFC), but instead new investment dollars come from individuals.
New-business start-ups are at a 30-year low according to Governor Romney, and that is a direct reflection on this premise. Small businesses are a barometer of "new money" and economic cycles, because that is where the most jobs are created.
We, as a population, govern economic cycles, and over time there are more people, we spend more money, and therefore the economy will continue to grow. But this natural rate of growth will experience natural periods of weakness, and it is that which is the defining characteristic of the U.S. economy today. It is a natural state of weakness and unavoidable.
The credit crisis, instead of being a reason for this mess, was actually caused by the free flow of new investment dollars, as defined by the Investment Rate. The Investment Rate peaked in December of 2007 — we knew it would peak there when this macroeconomic work was created in 2002, so we were prepared for it, and at that time, the Investment Rate told us that there was a longer-term top in the amount of naturally driven new money available to be invested into the U.S. economy. Another way of putting it is that the economy was flush with natural liquidity.
The credit crisis was fostered by the natural existence of new investment dollars, and furthered by bad legislation and greed, but greed is also a natural part of the peaks in the Investment Rate. When the natural rate of new investment dollars is peaking, people are willing to assume more risk, and that is exactly what we were witness to leading up to the 2007 top.
Now, once again by taking their eyes off of the ball, investors are thinking that QE programs will save the day, and change the course of history, when instead they cannot prevent the inevitable. The reason that the excess $1.5 trillion of cash in the system, soon to be $2.5 trillion, is not working to better the economy is that the most important part of our economic system does not have new money to invest.
The economy is all about people. People have less new money to invest into the economy, The Investment Rate shows this clearly — this definition of new money has never been wrong (since 1900) at predicting major economic cycles — it tells us that weakness is here to stay (for a long while), but it also tells us something else.
The rate of the decline of the slope of The Investment Rate gets much worse right now. Yes, it peaked in 2007, but between then and now it only trickled lower. That is exactly why the market has been able to recover (it fell too much in 2008), but this time the declines that lie ahead will not have that same immediate snap-back.
The Investment Rate tells us that continued economic weakness will exist, it gets much worse starting immediately, QE programs cannot stop this (they are trying to prevent utter collapse), and that leads us to believe that the next major decline will not have the same snapback as the 2008 collapse has had.
Next time it will be much worse because it will not be event-driven like the credit crisis. Instead based on a realization that the economy and therefore corporate earnings are simply not growing at a rate that warrants the multiples that exist today, investors will soon ask why they are paying up for risk. Coupled with fewer and fewer new investment dollars, multiple contractions will be a brutal truth and almost impossible to overcome in the not too distant future
This has nothing to do with the elephant in the room, but when we add in higher taxes and lower government spending the case for a depressionary environment can also be made.
For conservative investors, the appropriate action given this environment is to protect your wealth. For more aggressive investors, participate on the short side. We are doing it very methodically right now.

Will GTAV's Story Be Great...And Do We Care If It Isn't?
Before you answer the question, bear in mind that Grand Theft Auto has undergone some fundamental changes.
In Grand Theft Auto III (not the first GTA, but the first that started the phenomenon, as it was 3D open-world), I don't think anyone cared much about the story. We were all just mesmerized by the size of that virtual world and the sheer amount of freedom we enjoyed. It was almost unparalleled and a definite revolution. If you ask people today to explain the plot, I doubt anyone could in any detail. Heck, the main character you controlled didn't even have a name. Wasn't he just "The Guy?"
Vice City stepped things up a bit in the story department, as it essentially stole from "Scarface." Well, sorta. I'm not implying that Rockstar lifted the idea, but the influences were obvious, especially in regards to the mansion you end up living in. Tommy Vercetti was a cool character, too, and Ray Liotta brought him to life. San Andreas had an even more complex story with even more characters, but gamers could still just run around and wreak havoc if they so chose. And it was still wicked fun to do. I still like to throw in Vice City every now and then, just to terrorize the streets in my tank. That just never stops being fun.
But GTAIV brought about that aforementioned fundamental change and Rockstar went grittier and more realistic. Many didn't like the change and while I missed a lot of the wacky craziness from previous entries, I still loved GTAIV. However, love it or hate it, the path has been clear since then- Grand Theft Auto V will take that premise to the next level and lo and behold, we've got three protagonists this time around, each with his own back story and adventure. Furthermore, those three plot lines must intersect, so it must've been a challenge for the writers.
Therefore, it seems that we really should care about the story in GTAV. I think I will. But is this what the long-time fans are looking for...? Or will GTA forever be associated with running around beating people with baseball bats? The stereotype should be dead by now, but...

One thing I hope Rockstar does with GTAV is calm down with all the over the top humor and characters I noticed this generation. I mean whitty humor seen in Naughty Dog products are what I want to see, not Rockstar trying too hard with some characters. Example: Bruno was just all over the place. Or in RDR, you had that "crackhead" by the cemetery and the medicine swindler. These characters changed the vibe of everything in a bad way.
I have a feeling, GTAV is going to use the Trevor as comic relief a little bit too many times. We will see. Not a fan of corny in your face humor. I like clever comedy...give me that.

You have to be a new Grand Theft Auto fan. This is what made the series in the beginning! They only changed it with GTA4. I hope they KEEP alot of zany and crazy humor and they provide PLENTY of Trevor's humor. I'm not trying to lose that certain "Grand Theft" charm.

I'm not expecting The Last of Us or Heavy Rain caliber stuff. Just an epic tale that keeps you engaged. San Andreas use to be my favorite GTA game and it still is to some degree (i love the customization and huge world) but it's GREATLY hampered by one of the worst stories in GTA history imho!
Regardless i'm a biased GTA gamer So i'll enjoy it by default regardless of the story

GTAs stories have always been so stereotypical and generic, expecting GTAV to have a great story is like expecting a F1 car to have the same fuel consumption as hybrid!
aint gonna happen!!!!!!
care, no not really, as long as the games fun and lets you wreak havok, than thats all that matters because thats all the series ever let you do.
id be nice if it surprised us and actually had a great story, but thats hardly anywhere on the priority list.
Thursday, August 01, 2013 @ 6:44:11 AM
If we look at the promo videos for San Andreas they look a lot like what we see from GTA5. The light, sunny visuals are back (as opposed to the dark, rainy GTA4 visuals), the whole atmosphere takes me back to VC and SA with the beach babes, outdoor activities, and the attitude and style of the three protagonists.
Furthermore I gotta say that I am one of those who really thought the story in both VC and SA were a lot of fun, so to me this will not be the first GTA with a story. Sure, I strayed off the main story a lot in the former GTAs and I fully expect to do the same in GTA5, but that doesn't mean I don't care for the story.

A federal judge Monday denied bond for former Winchester Commonwealth's Attorney Paul H. Thomson based on a charge of witness tampering and a positive drug screen.
A DEA affidavit claims Thomson, 56, tried to manipulate statements by his alleged former cocaine supplier after the supplier was arrested and started working with police. A local police incident report indicates Thomson was disheveled and incoherent in two encounters with officers in November.
According to a published report, Thomson tested positive for cocaine after his arrest this week. He reportedly told Magistrate Judge James Welsh he suffered a "post-traumatic stress breakdown."
"There are things happening in my life I never thought would happen," Thomson said, according to an account in The Winchester Star.
Also charged in connection with the alleged evidence tampering is Thomson's assistant, Nannette Boden.
Thomson served four terms as commonwealth's attorney before losing an election in 2001. Since then, he has maintained a criminal defense practice in Winchester.
Thomson apparently plans to retain counsel. No appearance of counsel was noted as of Tuesday in online court records.

State Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, a former Dana Point mayor, says the city should not adopt a ban on single-use plastic bags.
Harkey, R-Dana Point, wrote in an opinion piece for The Orange County Register that in the Legislature, she is "forced to fight against proposed new taxes and 'Nanny State' laws every day. While I usually avoid involving myself in city issues … the Dana Point City Council will consider an ordinance that falls into both categories."
The council had been scheduled to consider proposed ordinances at its meeting Monday night to ban single-use plastic shopping bags at local stores and the use of polystyrene (Styrofoam) containers at local food vendors, city facilities and city-sponsored events. But after receiving a flood of feedback on the issue, the city Friday pulled the items from the agenda. The council instead will discuss the ordinances next year, giving staff time to gather more public input and refine the proposals, City Clerk Kathy Ward said.
In her piece for the Register, posted online Friday, Harkey said the plastic-bag ordinance "strongly encourages" retail stores to charge customers a fee for each paper bag used in place of plastic "and places no limit on that fee."
"If council members adopt this, they will allow a new tax on shoppers, deprive consumers of bag choice and further bloat our local bureaucracy with another far-reaching government mandate," Harkey wrote.
She also made a direct appeal to the council members in a letter dated Dec. 7.
"New ordinances, regulations, fees and taxes send the wrong message to our citizens and business community during this continuing recession," the letter said.
Harkey, whose 73rd Assembly District includes Dana Point, noted that similar proposed bans on plastic bags and plastic-foam containers did not pass the state Legislature. "Even the most liberal members of our Legislature understood … the additional costs of these bans are passed directly to the consumer at a time when many are struggling financially," she wrote.
Supporters of the plastic-bag and polystyrene bans say they are necessary to reduce litter and protect marine life from ingesting or getting ensnared in plastic waste.
"A better, freedom-based solution would be to educate the public about the importance of recycling and to promote the proper use of reusable bags," Harkey wrote in her opinion piece.
She said the ordinance would increase retailers' cost of doing business by forcing them to switch to more-expensive recyclable paper bags.
She ended her letter to the council by saying, "It would be very disappointing if my home city were more hostile to local businesses than Sacramento."

Do you want the silkiest, spiciest, tangiest and most fragrant kala chana recipe ?
Well your search ends here !
This kala or black chana speciality, popularly known as Himachali Khatta is from the traditional kitchen of devbhoomi (land of gods). This is so yum that it will leave you drooling.The Tangy Kala Chana popularly known as Himachali Khatta is from the traditional kitchen of devbhoomi (land of gods).Click To Tweet
Thank you Himachal – For Giving Me The Best Kala Chana Recipe
This tangy Kala Chana Recipe didn't happen by chance. All thanks to my dad who is pretty emotional when it comes to caring about his friends and family back in his hometown Samehl – a tiny but beautiful village in Himachal.
He will always find reasons for get togethers where he can rejoice, laugh and feast with them. But this time he wanted to lit up a big smile on faces of his dear ones.
Reason –My post marriage celebration.
He wanted to introduce Kunal and my in-laws not only to serene landscape & scenic beauty of Himachal but also to the exquisite Pahari cuisines like Cha Mutton & Tangy Kala Chana Recipe (Himachali Khatta).
So, 7 months after our marriage, we decided to head towards my hometown Samehl to celebrate our union with our loved ones.
To treat his dear ones, Dad had already made arrangements & organized the yummy Dham function. Actually, In Himachal no celebration is complete without Dham.
Dham is a get together of people where there are served traditional himachali food (on plates made of leaves) as a mid day feast. (as shown below)
As I suddenly stepped into the open area where Dham was organized, I could smell the delicious spread of food, such as
- Aromatic rice,
- Special Tangy Kala Chana called Himachali Khatta.
- Spicy Moong dal .
- Madra of chickpea cooked in yogurt,
- Meetha – sweetened rice mixed with a generous helping of raisins and other dry fruits
This spread of yummy food was making me very hungry. For Kunal, it was an experience of a lifetime. Everyone was dancing around us. It was an awesome sight.
Everything was delicious but for Kunal it was Tangy Kala Chana curry that turned him into a real bhukkad (foodie). He would have had at-least 4 servings of this delicious curry.
I remember ,he turned to me and said " You gotto note down this Kala Chana Recipe".
Also there are tons of kala chana benefits – Being low in fat, rich in minerals, vitamin and high in dietary fibre it makes for a great addition to my home menu.
So without wasting any more time, I straight away went to the cook and asked for the kala chana recipe.
Pro Tips before preparing This Kala Chana Recipe
- Due to a slightly tough skin, black Chana needs to cook longer than its white counterpart (white chickpea). In Dham, the cooks usually make use of huge brass utensils called Baltoi. This helps them speed up the cooking process for this kala chana recipe. This Video explains how.
However at home – soak kala chana overnight (8 to 9 hours) and then pressure cook them to soften them. Post that you can easily use them for your delicious Kala Chala Recipe (Himachala Khatta)
- This Himachali Kala Chana Recipe has a smooth silky like consistency. To achieve that consistency you can either add rice flour or gram flour. What ratio need to be maintained is mentioned in the recipe.
Ok enough of chit chatting. Let me give you this super yummy & authentic recipe.
- 1 Cup Black Chana ,soaked overnight
- 3 Cup Water
- 2 Tbsp oil
- 1 Tbsp Coriander seeds
- ½ Tbsp Fenugreek seeds
- 1 Large onion,chopped
- 5-6 garlic cloves ,crushed
- 2 Dry Red Chill,pounded or 1 Tbsp Red chilli powder
- ½ Tbsp Turmeric powder
- 1 Tbsp Cumin powder
- 3-4 Tbsp Dry Mango Powder
- 1 Tbsp Rice flour
- 11/2 Tbsp Jaggery
- Salt to taste
- Handful of Chopped Coriander
- Wash the Dry Black Chana under running cold water till water runs clear
- Add 3 cups of water to 1 cup of dry chana in a bowl and soak it for 8-9 hours overnight. Once the soaking process is done, in the morning you would notice black chana would have grown bit big in size. That is because of water absorption.
- Take out the soaked Black chana and discard the soaking water via a strainer. Great.
- Take the soaked Black Chana in a pressure cooker.
- Add salt and 2 Cups of water to it.
- Cover the lid, turn the heat on high flame and pressure cook it until your hear three whistles.
- Now reduce the flame and pressure cook it for another 4-5 minutes till you get the fourth whistle. Once its done. keep it aside to cool.
- Once its cooled down, Open the lid. You would notice that our chana would have cooked all the way through. It would have become soft. A Good test would be to take a chana and try press it between your thumb and finger. It would get mash easily.
- At this point, separate black chana and the water. Do not throw away the water - Keep it aside,We`ll use that later.
- Heat oil in a non stick wok.
- Add Coriander seeds and Fenugreek seeds. Saute it for few seconds.
- Add Chopped onion and Garlic. Saute it till onion turn to golden brown in color.
- Now Add pounded Dry Red chilli (you can use red chilli Powder too) & turmeric powder.
- Add salt to taste and Saute it for a minute.
- Now add black chana to onion mixture and saute it on medium heat for one minute.
- Add Cumin powder, dry mango powder and mix well.
- Now take half of the pressure cooker water that we had reserved and add rice flour to it. Rice flour helps gravy to thicken a bit and help you achieve that perfect silky consistency.
- Add rice flour and water mixture to black chana mixture in the wok. Mix it well.
- After a minute, add rest of the water and jaggery .
- Cook it for 12-15 minutes on Low flame.
- Sprinkle with some chopped green coriander and our tangy kala chana recipe is ready
If you see the gravy going too thick, add some water to it to achieve the desired texture.
Feel free to play with quantity of Dry Mango Powder and Jaggery to arrive at the perfect tanginess.
I hope this tangy kala chana recipe can make it your favorite lunch or dinner menu card. This is certainly a favorite at my place and now at my in laws place.
If you have any question or feedback about this recipe, do leave a comment.

From the Publisher
Welcome to Worldview Interactive, an alternative concept in Christian publishing for Australia. Some time in the future we may tell you the story of how the concept of Worldview Interactive came into being, but this first issue is about other people's stories and we believe that you'll find plenty here to interest and inspire you.
If we do our job correctly Worldview Interactive will stretch the mind, encourage the heart and stir the spirit. We'll be addressing issues that will cause us all to stop and reflect and rethink some of our basic assumptions. We'll be telling stories from around the world, just to remind us that the world is a whole lot bigger than our own backyard. We will be celebrating the things that God is doing among his people, in all of their cultural, geo-political and ethnic diversity. We hope to remind the world that followers of Jesus are not just crusading moralists, ultra right-wing conservatives and money-hungry evangelists (stereotypes which we are all-too-well acquainted with) but that we are thinkers, intellectuals, artists, musicians, poets, activists, philanthropists and servants of our fellow man. We are a people who creatively and conscientiously seek to engage the world with our faith to redemptive ends – 'to proclaim good news to the poor, liberty to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind and liberty to all who are oppressed.' We will unashamedly proclaim that Jesus Christ is the sure foundation for our hope in this mad world, and despite the foolishness of this message in the sight of some, we are bold and unashamed because we believe that the foolishness of the gospel of Jesus Christ is God's wisdom, that God reveals it to the humble, and that it is the power of God to bring salvation. We invite you to join with us, pray for us and support us as we seek to take this message throughout Australia and beyond.
When you visit the website - www.wvi.net.au - you will be able to post feedback, access related links, download files such as text, music, streaming audio and video, and eventually enter into dialogue with other readers. The website is under development and new features will be added progressively, so please be patient and stay tuned. If you encounter any technical problems with the website, please let us know.
Finally, this publishing forum requires your participation. If you have any views, articles, personal stories, multimedia, music or art to contribute, then please contact us. Worldview Interactive will be pushing the boundaries in an effort to make the publication worthwhile, informative, interesting, edifying and accessible. Our unique new subscription system is one example of how we are exploring creative new ideas.
We believe that you will find this risk-free system both affordable and convenient.
Enjoy the magazine… and please pass on those subscription forms to your friends!

Gee, strange play send Mets over Nationals 5-1
Credit: The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Dillon Gee seems to have the right change-of-speed repertoire to defeat the Washington Nationals.
A couple lucky hops always help, too.
Gee beat Washington for the third time this season and the New York Mets scored the go-ahead run when third baseman Ryan Zimmerman and shortstop Ian Desmond made errors on the same strange play for a 5-1 win Saturday.
"Things kind of bounced my way," Gee said.

Dirt 2 Demo In September, Screen Capture Feature For PS3
For those who enjoy the Rally racing experience, Dirt quickly became a huge hit and a highly sough-after title. Not surprisingly, Codemasters is hard at work on a sequel.
According to PSU, the developers have confirmed that we can expect a playable demo to hit the PlayStation Network this September, and as another little treat, PlayStation 3 owners will get the bonus of an awesome new screen capture feature! This will be added in an upcoming firmware update and we believe this is an exclusive option for the PS3 version, which is good news for Rally fans and owners of Sony's console. Of course, Gran Turismo 5 will feature its own Rally portion but we fully expect Codemasters to really push the envelope with Dirt 2. The tragic death of Colin McRae hasn't stopped them; they believe it's better to honor his name by continuing the tradition of top-quality off-road simulators, and we wholeheartedly agree. We do expect more media to come our way over the next few months, and we can pretty much guarantee that when this sequel arrives, it'll be a definite winner.
Just remember: the off-road racing genre has really blown up over the past few years, so there will be plenty of competition!

Of course they were also responsible for the TOCA touring car racing series of games in Europe as well - which rocked. With the exception of Polyphony Digital, Codemasters is right at the top when it comes to racers.
Nice to see the screen capture feature finally making it into a game.

Another funny thing I heard was that Forza 3 is only again gonna support 8 people online again like FM2. Poor Xbox live can only handle 8 with that game as it uses shared server architecture. GT5 is gonna support 16 as it does now in prologue (even tho the online sucks in prologue mainly because of it just being thrown in as a feature in the demo). I'm sure the final version will run amazing like only Sony exclusives always run.
As for Forza 3 cartoony environments and cars is once again what I saw, yet Dan Greenwalt of Turn 10 boasts that his racer is gonna be leading this generation in graphics and physics. HA. Nice try Dan, not even close...The 360 is pretty hard to push much further for any developer even tho FM3 does look better than 2, but no where near the quality and brilliance of GT5

Played the firs demo for Dirt and didn't really like it...felt too "strict" or like it wanted to be a road game mixed with rally.......which is fine but eeeeeh just didn't like it.
Too bad that Sega ain't doing Sega Rally Revolution anymore...I have the first one and it's pretty fun.
Motorstorm takes the crown! Yes it's Arcade-ish but it still has enough realism(physics) that it delivers everything a rally game fan wants.
I'll see if I can this one though.
You know what I'd kill for?...a real Rally Cross(Sony's old rally franchise...) That one was ******* fun! damn

After several years of record cargo performance, Port of Tacoma cargo volumes flattened in 2007 due, in part, to a softening US economy, a weakening national housing market and the rising cost of inland transportation.
From 2002 through 2006, Tacoma set successive containerized cargo records, with volumes growing from 1.5 million teus (20-foot units) to 2.1 million teus. In 2007, the Port's container volume totaled 1.9 million teus.
"Ports are at the forefront of national and worldwide economic trends. Consumer demand is cyclical and cargo volumes follow these economic factors. At the Port of Tacoma, we're looking to the future by investing in the success of our customers and the economic health of our region," said Port Commission President Dick Marzano, emphasizing the Port's five-year, $953.6 million capital improvement program that focuses on expanding the Port's terminal, rail and road capacity.
Port of Tacoma Executive Director Timothy J. Farrell expects a recovery in 2009, when Tacoma containerized cargo volumes are forecast to rise to new record levels. "Over the long-term, world trade is expected to triple by 2030. We have an opportunity to capture this trade growth for the economic benefit of the communities we serve," he said.
The Port of Tacoma's non-containerized cargoes remained strong in 2007. Total tonnage was up 3%, grain held steady at 6 million tons, breakbulk was down 4%, and the Port's automobile volume finished the year up 5%.
The Port of Tacoma's 2007 cargo volumes were:
- Total Tonnage: 19.564 million tons (up 3%)
- Containerized Cargo: 1.93 million teus (down 7%)
- Breakbulk Cargo: 123,647 tons (down 4%)
- Autos: 175,074 units (up 5%)
- Intermodal Lifts: 481,102 (down 19%) ' Grain: 5.97 million tons (down 1%)
"We are particularly pleased with the performance of our auto business," said Farrell. "Each of our auto customers (Isuzu, Kia, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Suzuki) had strong years, introduced new models and strengthened their dealer networks. As we continue to invest in this business, we forecast greater volumes ahead."
While cargo volumes declined in 2007, Farrell notes that the Port's financial performance remained strong. The Port closed 2007 with $97.6 million in operating revenue ' a 6.3% increase from 2006.
Port Commission President Marzano says the Port of Tacoma is working to plan and build the facilities and infrastructure that will be needed to keep the Port competitive in the future. "In 2007, we announced major agreements that will bring NYK Line to Tacoma at its own 168-acre (68-hectare) terminal and a redevelopment and expansion of the TOTE (Totem Ocean Trailer Express) Terminal," he said. "Investments like these not only provide a place for our customers to be successful, they create new jobs and business opportunities throughout our region and our state."
The Port of Tacoma's 2008 cargo forecast includes:
- Total Tonnage: 20.1 million tons (up 3%)
- Containerized Cargo: 2.05 million teus (up 6%)
- Breakbulk Cargo: 131,000 tons (up 6%)
- Autos: 187,300 units (up 7%)
- Intermodal Lifts: 525,350 (up 9%)
- Grain: 6.0 million tons (flat)

Mary McAleese hails transformed relations between Ireland and UK
24/02/2016 - 20:46:48Back to Ireland Home
Former Irish president Mary McAleese has hailed the transformation in relations between Ireland and the UK in the 100 years since Dublin's Easter Rising.
In a speech to MPs and peers in the Palace of Westminster, Mrs McAleese discussed how once-fraught diplomatic links across the Irish Sea were now positive.
Her address covered the Easter rebellion against British rule in 1916, the Troubles in the North and the subsequent peace process that brought that conflict to an end.
She referred to the Queen's historic visit to Ireland in 2011 and also noted Ireland and Britain entered into the European Union on the same day in 1973.
The event was organised by the All Party Parliamentary Group on the Irish in Britain, in partnership with St Mary's University, Twickenham, London, where Professor McAleese is a Distinguished Professor in Irish Studies.
"These hundred years have seen massive changes in the relationship between Ireland and Britain and further afield," said Mrs McAleese.
"Things that were deemed strong and invincible a century ago have disappeared into the footnotes of history.
"Things that seemed weak and set for failure have grown strong and enduring. A conflict that seemed intractable has been quelled by the politics of peace based on justice, equality, parity of esteem and a willingness to compromise.
"Ireland and Britain are today egalitarian democracies held accountable nationally and internationally by our commitment to the same human rights. We meet now on the international stage as equals and as good neighbours.
"Behind the world of politics and diplomacy are legions of men and women from Ireland who have made their lives in Britain and vice versa. The web of personal connections is richly textured and strong. It is infused with a new confidence and trust in one another.
"I pay tribute to the men, women and young people on all sides who have worked to recalibrate the historically-skewed relationships between these islands. Today's peace came at an awful cost in terms of lives lost, bodies and hearts permanently broken and bitter lessons learnt. Its momentum, however, is clear. It is towards a permanent, stable peace through politics and partnership."
Conor McGinn MP, who is chairman of the Irish in Britain APPG, said it was a honour to host the former president.
"She is a seminal, inspirational figure who has been central to relations between Ireland and the UK over the last 20 years," he said.
"The centenary of the Easter Rising is hugely important to the Irish in Britain, and as on the island of Ireland there are a range of views, experiences and thoughts about its impact and its consequences.
"The Irish in Britain played a significant role in the events of 1916, and our community now - 100 years later in 2016 - is at the forefront of driving forward a new and positive relationship between these two islands."

WASHINGTON — In a major environmental victory for the Obama administration, the Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to regulate the smog-causing pollution from coal-fired power plants that wafts across state lines from 27 Midwestern and Appalachian states to the East Coast.
The 6-2 ruling upholds a centerpiece of what has become a signature of President Barack Obama's environmental agenda: a series of new Clean Air Act regulations aimed at cutting pollution from coal-fired power plants. Republicans and the coal industry have criticized the effort as a "war on coal."
Legal experts said the decision, written by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, signaled that the Obama administration's efforts to use the Clean Air Act to fight global warming could also withstand legal challenges.
The EPA is expected to unveil in June a sweeping new climate change regulation, using the authority of the Clean Air Act to rein in carbon pollution from coal plants.
The regulations covering cross-state air pollution, known as "good neighbor" rules, have pitted Rust Belt and Appalachian states like Ohio and Kentucky against East Coast states like New York and Connecticut.
In its arguments before the court, the EPA said the rules were necessary to protect the health and the environment of downwind states. East Coast states in particular are vulnerable to pollution blown by the prevailing winds of the United States.
In her decision, Ginsburg noted that in reining in interstate pollution, regulators must account for the vagaries of the wind.
"Some pollutants stay within upwind states' borders, the wind carries others to downwind states, and some subset of that group drifts to states without air quality problems," she wrote, adding a biblical quotation from the Book of John: "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth."
The utilities and 15 states on the other side of the issue argued that the rules, as written by the Obama administration's environmental regulators, gave the EPA too much authority and placed an unfair economic burden on the polluting states.
To comply with the regulations, electric utilities are expected to have to install costly pollution control equipment at coal plants, or just shut them down.
In a dissent, Justice Antonin Scalia, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, suggested that the regulation was Marxist and unwieldy. As written, the regulation will require upwind polluting states to cut pollution in relation to the amounts of pollution each state produces, but also as a proportion of how affordably a state can make the cuts. In other words, states that are able to more cost-effectively reduce pollution will be required to cut more of it.
"I fully acknowledge that the proportional-reduction approach will demand some complicated computations where one upwind state is linked to multiple downwind states and vice versa," Scalia wrote. "I am confident, however, that EPA's skilled number-crunchers can adhere to the statute's quantitative (rather than efficiency) mandate by crafting quantitative solutions. Indeed, those calculations can be performed at the desk, whereas the 'from each according to its ability' approach requires the unwieldy field examination of many pollution-producing sources with many sorts of equipment," he said, quoting Karl Marx's "The Communist Manifesto."
Justice Samuel Alito recused himself from the case.
The court on Tuesday seemed torn as it considered a pair of cases about whether the police need warrants to search the cellphones of people they arrest.
Some justices seemed inclined to apply precedents saying that people under arrest lose significant privacy rights. Those decisions say warrantless searches in connection with arrests are justified by the need to find weapons and to prevent the destruction of evidence.
"Our rule has been that if you carry it on your person," Justice Antonin Scalia said, "it is subject to seizure and examination."
Other justices said the vast amounts of data held on smartphones warranted a different approach under the Fourth Amendment, which bars unreasonable searches.
"We're living in a new world," said Justice Anthony Kennedy. "Someone arrested for a minor crime has his whole life exposed."

Orchids at Palm Court
Chef Todd Kelly at Orchids at Palm Court wins a Snail of Approval 2012 for his rigorous commitment to local, artisanal food. From the chickens (from a single family farm in Xenia, Ohio) to the fish (the only fresh salmon ever served at Orchids is line-caught from the wild, never farmed) and the locally produced artisan caviar (made from ultra-sustainable farmed paddlefish), to the 16th-floor apiary where they raise their own bees and honey, Orchids absolutely nails the concept of a finest-dining establishment that is all about good, clean, and fair food.

September 11, 2001
I am writing this in my 1967 MCI 5a bus [conversion] in a campground at the Grand Canyon in Arizona. It was a beautiful day today, and I walked for several miles along the south rim.
A month ago, on September 11th [2001], terrorists hijacked four commercial jetliners. Two were flown into the twin largest towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. One plane hit the Pentagon in Washington, DC. The remaining plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. Thousands of people were killed, and the twin towers collapsed. These towers contained 10% of the office space in Manhattan, and were 110 stories each.
These disasters are gripping the world, and the USA has been bombing Afganistan, which the US believes is sheltering Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect.
I did not know anybody who was killed in the attacks.
I decided to visit the Grand Canyon after attending the Bus Conversion Magazine annual convention in Laughlin, Nevada. The Grand Canyon is only a four hour drive from Laughlin, so I decided to visit. I don't recall being here as a child.
The visibility today was 8 on a scale of 10, according to a ranger I spoke with. I shot some video and took pictures.
I am less lonely on this trip. It helps to be in touch with my cell phone.
I sold almost all of my remaining GoAmerica stock yesterday, retaining just ten shares, as souvenirs.
[This post is from my handwritten journal, October 10, 2001. I posted it to this blog and added the bracketed language on August 13, 2011.]

Check out Bill Gillespie's Facebook page, and you'll find a gallery of famous Savannah folk holding Gillespie's campaign signs.
Gillespie hasn't formally announced, but he intends to run for Alderman at Large District 1, the post now held by Edna Jackson.
She plans to run for mayor.
The famous folk, by the way, are statues of Johnny Mercer, Gen. James Oglethorpe and John Wesley.
And that has a few people mighty upset with Gilespie. Some see it as plain old tacky. Others see it as an inappropriate use of city monuments.
Gillespie sees it as just having a little fun, and isn't bothered a bit by a few terse remarks.
"Good. Let them complain," he said Thursday as he waited for the City Council meeting to start. "Every day there's some tourist with a beer groping Johnny Mercer, so I don't feel bad about it."
He didn't hang signs from the other statues, he said. He relied on Photoshop.
"I would never deface public property," he added.


text: Blog Details Myth Busting: The Truth About Triclosan Author : JoAnn Gurenlian Published Date 12/24/2014 0 Comments Share this post Over the past decade, concerns have been raised by the media about the use of triclosan in products such as soaps, deodorants, shaving cream, and toothpastes. Articles and news programs have reported the dangers of triclosan leaving the public confused about the safety and efficacy of this ingredient.Triclosan is a chemical added to Colgate Total toothpaste, designed to work with a copolymer to prevent gingivitis with effects lasting up to 12 hours. Dental science has demonstrated that it is effective as both an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent, and is effective in managing biofilm and gingivitis.Unfortunately, there are naysayers who claim that triclosan is unsafe. For example, as reported in examiner.com, an assistant professor in civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute stated that triclosan in toothpaste could react with chlorine in tap water to produce chloroform gas. This reaction may cause depression, liver problems, and cancer. A similar finding was reported in a study published on the Environmental Science & Technology research website As Soon As Publishable suggesting that triclosan may be ineffective and harmful. A study conducted by researchers at the University of California, Davis, and the University of Colorado noted that triclosan hinders heart muscle cells and skeletal muscle fiber contractions at a cellular level, causes thyroid dysfunction, slows swimming in fish, reduces muscular strength in mice, and could cause disruption of reproductive hormone activity and cell signaling of the brain. Given these health concerns and the purported association of triclosan with adverse effects, it is important to seek additional scientific information to determine if the evidence supports or refutes these issues. Fortunately, such science does exist.First, Colgate had to submit a New Drug Application to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1997 to demonstrate that Colgate Total was both safe and effective. Approval for this product was received at that time and has been continuously monitored by the FDA. In a briefing conducted in December 2013, the FDA verified that Colgate Total is safe and effective.In addition, Colgate Total is the most widely studied toothpaste in the world. More than 80 published clinical trials involving more than 19,000 subjects have been conducted evaluating the safety and efficacy of this toothpaste with triclosan. The American Dental Association granted the Seal of Acceptance to Colgate Total after reviewing longitudinal studies that documented the safety of long-term use of this toothpaste. The criteria to receive this seal are substantive and rigorous.More recently, the Cochrane Oral Health Group conducted an independent review of Colgate Total toothpaste. This international organization is designed to help individuals make well-informed decisions about health care by preparing, disseminating, and maintaining systematic reviews of the effects of health care interventions. Cochrane Reviews are globally recognized by health professionals as the authority for high-quality clinical decision making. As part of their independent review, The Cochrane Oral Health Group evaluated 30 studies from 1990 to 2012. These studies included 14,835 subjects randomized to receive either a triclosan/copolymer-containing fluoride toothpaste (Colgate Total) or a traditional fluoride toothpaste that did not contain the triclosan/copolymer. Results of this systematic review showed significant oral health benefits from using a triclosan/copolymer fluoride toothpaste. Findings showed a 22% reduction each in plaque and gingivitis, and a 48% reduction in bleeding. There was no evidence of any harmful effects associated with the use of Colgate Total in studies up to three years in duration and no serious safety concerns.Why should oral health care professionals feels comfortable, even enthusiastic, about recommending Colgate Total? What talking points can they use when discussing Colgate Total and triclosan with patients?Dentists and dental hygienists should feel confident recommending Colgate Total toothpaste as the science supports its safety and effectiveness. For those patients who express concern about using a toothpaste containing triclosan, they can be assured that regular and continuous research has demonstrated that the formula in Colgate Total provides significant oral health benefits and has not shown any deleterious systemic health effects.

Thomas Vanek has been traded from the Islanders to Montreal for a second-rounder and Swedish prospect Sebastian Collberg.
Vanek, 30, is a right winger with 271 goals and 270 assists (541 pts) in 645 games which isn't chicken feed. This is a bonafide NHL star with great hands who will help our team.
The one knock seems to be that Vanek doesn't always play with passion. Hopefully when he's in the great Montreal Canadiens environment and wearing the CH, the passion will come flowing out.
I'm very excited about this.
Along with Vanek, Montreal's right wingers include Gallagher, Gionta, Bourque, Weise, and Parros.

No. 3 Baylor wins 22nd in row, 89-66 over Oklahoma
WACO, Texas (AP) — With Niya Johnson passing at a record pace and Nina Davis scoring almost at will, No. 3 Baylor is well on the way to a fifth consecutive Big 12 title.
Johnson set a Big 12 single-game record with 17 assists, all without committing a turnover, and Davis had 31 points as the Lady Bears stretched their winning streak to 22 games with an 89-66 win over second-place Oklahoma on Wednesday night.
"I had no idea. They handed me that stat sheet in the locker room and I just went 'Wow!' It's not just the 17 assists," said coach Kim Mulkey, a former championship point guard. "It's zero turnovers in 30 minutes of play against a team that was trapping you and playing real aggressive and causing deflections and turnovers. That's so impressive."
Alexis Prince added 16 points and 11 rebounds as the Lady Bears (23-1, 12-0) matched defending national champion UConn for the longest current winning streak. They have a three-game lead over Oklahoma (15-8, 9-3) with six conference games to play.
Davis, who finished 12 of 15 shooting, scored 12 points with two three-point plays in a 20-0 run early in the game and Baylor led throughout. The sophomore post player, the conference's top scorer at 21 points a game coming in, had 20 by halftime to match the Sooners total at that point.
"We weren't connected defensively at all, and early didn't make a lot of shots, and we let it snowball. We let not making a shot on offense carry into the defensive end," Sooners coach Sherri Coale said. "And they're the type of team if they smell you being weak, or they smell you being frustrated, then they come at you even harder, and we were the recipient of that tonight."
Peyton Little, the sophomore transfer from Texas A&M, had 22 points with five 3-pointers to lead the Sooners. Freshman guard Gabbi Ortiz added 16 points with a quick spurt of 3s after halftime.
Imani Wright added 11 points and Sune Agbuke 11 for Baylor.
Johnson went into the game the national leader with 8.4 assists per game, and third with a 3.5 assist-to-turnover ratio — and those numbers only got better.
"She's probably one of the most underrated point guards in the country, and people don't know her name, but her numbers are unbelievable," Coale said. "It's hard to have 17 assists and no turnovers if nobody is guarding you."
Davis was still outscoring Oklahoma on her own until Sharane Campbell's layup in the final minute cut the Sooners' halftime gap to 42-20.
Ortiz had a layup with 17:21 left in the first half that got the Sooners to 7-5. They then went scoreless for more than 6

The Suffragette Movement is a 'romantic' movement, in that we've romanticized these social activists, to a degree.
It will be interesting to see how Carrie Mulligan/Meryl Streep's new movie, Suffragette, will deal with history. The movie is slated for release in October.
We forget how much these suffragettes were feared and loathed in 1912/13 by many people, even by those people who wanted women to get the vote.
But I've just uncovered a TRULY romantic Hollywood-Style romance about one of Mrs. Pankhurst's troops.
And, yea, it's got a Montreal angle!
I've written an ebook, Furies Cross the Mersey, about the British Invasion of Militant Suffragettes to Montreal in 1912/13.It's available on Amazon.
Mrs. Pankhurst visited Canada on two occasions to speak. She made just one visit to Montreal, in late 1911. She was the guest of the Montreal Council of Women. Carrie Derick, Past-President, had requested that she be invited to the city, 'to hear the other side of the question.'
Barbara Wylie of the WSPU came to Canada in early September, 1912 and stayed until 1913. In her speeches, Wylie bragged about having been to jail.
The pretty suffragette traveled all the way to British Columbia, during a winter of record cold.
Then she returned to England and became the spokesperson for Mrs. Pankhurst for a while - and then she got arrested in a protest in front of His Majesty's Theater in London. You can read all about her Canadian escapades in Furies Cross the Mersey.
Caroline Kenney, sister of prominent militant Annie Kenney, came to Montreal, Canada in December, 1912 and stayed a few years.
Iconic Image of Annie Kenney and Christabel Pankhurst.
I write about Caroline in my Furies book, too, and will write more in the follow up, Service and Disservice about the years 1913-19 and the Conscription Crisis of 1917.
Caroline came to stay with her older sister Nell in St. Lambert. I have seen her immigration documentation. She intended to stay in the country and work as a teacher.
While in Montreal, she helped found, in late 1913, the Montreal Equal Suffrage League. It was to be a group made up of militants and non-militants.The ESL didn't get much press. Caroline, herself, gave a couple of talks upon her arrival, to a Jewish Group and to the Women's Temperance Union.
She got bad press for her first talk, about the "Evolution of Militancy." Militancy was a very dirty word in Montreal and Canadian suffrage circles in 1912/13, even though many, many women sympathized with Mrs. Pankhurst's WSPU.
Caroline's sister, Nell, had immigrated to Canada in 1909 and married Frank Randall Clarke, a journalist, late of the Daily Mail of London.
I figured out that Nell Kenney had acted on behalf of Mrs. Pankhurst's militants in 1908 in England. There are mentions of her meetings in Votes for Women Magazine.
And, just lately, I read an account of that romantic 'suffragette' story I told you about.
Lyndsey Jenkins, an Oxford scholar, soon to release a new biography of prominent British Suffragette Lady Constance Lytton (and now researching the Kenney Family) sent me a certain biographical document saying that Frank Randall Clarke met Nell at an election rally for Lord Asquith, one she disrupted on behalf of the suffragettes.
The police fell on Nell hard, apparently. (Naturally!) And who came to her rescue? A young reporter covering the Asquith speech, one Frank Randall Clarke.
From Ann Lynn Becker's McGill Thesis via McCord Museum.
Clarke fell in love with the suffering suffragette, followed her to her 'safe haven' in England and ...well... the document says he married her in England.. but, that's not right.
I have seen their marriage certificate. They came to Canada in 1909 and married here in Montreal.
It seems that they had to get out of England quickly.
Now, isn't that romantic? Reeealllly romantic? Hollywood-style romantic?
I'd say so.
I see nothing in the newspapers to indicate Nell worked for the suffrage cause while in Montreal, but by 1913 she had two infants.
Frank Randall Clarke's new place of work, the Montreal Witness Newspaper, was for woman suffrage, but covered the British Suffragettes in the most sensational way! See the pic at top.
Still, I can see from the membership list of the Montreal Suffrage Association that St. Lambert, a community of Anglos south of Montreal Island, was an enclave of suffragists. The MSA had lots of members from that place. (The MSA, upon launch in 1913, promised to be peaceful and reasonable and to go about a quiet education of the people.)
That seemed weird to me at first. Why St. Lambert, of all places?
Now, I know why. A dyed-in-the-wool militant suffragette moved there in 1912-13, at the height of the movement, at the height of all the controversy.
Anyway, Frank Randall Clarke became a prominent social activist in Montreal, lobbying for better labour conditions, and the author of the biographical document assumes that Nell helped him along.
His fonds are at the McCord Museum in Montreal. They include photos of the Royal Princes on their Montreal visits, wearing suits so sleek, so finely threaded, they shimmer, and also pictures of homeless men during the Depression sleeping in their rags on park benches.
Whatever, Frank Randall Clarke appeared to adore his wife all through their time together. They had more children.
Nell accompanied Frank on a cross-country assignment of behalf of CP Rail in the 1930's. A McGill Thesis was written on the project by Ann Lynne Becker. You can read it here.

Rain swamps Texas, Oklahoma
by UPI
SAN ANTONIO - Heavy holiday weekend rain in Texas and Oklahoma closed roadways, sent a bus dangling over a bridge and trapped 1,000 people at a campground.
In San Antonio, a Greyhound bus with 33 passengers aboard broke through a bridge railing and dangled over the Medina River after its driver lost control on the wet highway, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
"Kids were crying and grown men were freaking out," college student Valerie Roa told the Texas newspaper Sunday.
Passengers crawled out rear windows to safety.
In Fredericksburg, Texas, rescuers searched for a 22-year-old man who called his family Sunday to say his vehicle was stuck on a flooded bridge.
In Oklahoma, rain-driven Honey Creek stranded campers at Turner Falls Park, The Oklahoman reported.
"The park got to the flood stage around 3:30 a.m. Sunday," park Manager Tom Graham told the Oklahoma City newspaper. "Some of the campers have been evacuated, but there's probably a little over a thousand still in the park."
In Pittsburg County, Okla., a tractor-trailer hydroplaned and hit a pickup truck head-on, killing the pickup's driver Sunday, police said.

Just Walk AwayCaroline looked longingly at the chocolate-frosted cake, thinking about how much she really wanted to fill her mouth with chocolaty goodness. For the past ten weeks, she had gone without any sweets; she ignored the endless inducements of cookies, brownies, pastries, pies, and cakes that surrounded her. She thought they were deliberately taunting her, attempting to break her from her strict diet. Rather than satisfying her taste buds with sugar-infested galore, she was instead munching on dry baby carrots. She crossed her flabby arms over her stomach as it began to growl.
Man, that cake looks so yummy, she thought to herself. No, look away. That is not your friend, Caroline. That is your enemy.
She had lost about 30 pounds and she sure as hell wasn't planning on gaining it back. Okay, now just walk away. If I walk away, I'll be fine, she assured herself. She took a small step away from the glass display of decorated cakes. She hesitated before taking another step. Before she knew what was happening, she was dashing along Main Street. Cars blurred past her as the wind whipped her hair back from her face, bringing tears to her hazel eyes. Her breathing became raspy and her sides began to ache, but she continued to weave between pedestrians, putting more distance between her and the swirls of chocolate frosting. When she was far enough away, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had a doctor's appointment in about a half an hour and the last thing she needed was to add an extra two pounds beforehand.
She strolled along the sidewalk, her breath visible in the cool, crisp air. Cars honked and engines roared furiously as Caroline passed by the lines of lofty buildings. Truck-sized advertisements loomed over her head, their lights flashing in the dimness. Her boots shuffled along in the snow, imprinting it with dirt-stained footprints. Fifteen minutes later, she arrived at the downtown hospital.
