Boehner to Obama: 'You've got your tax increase'
Republicans and Democrats dig in yet one more time in a budget fight. The big question is how much the battles will hurt the economy.
President Obama wants some tax increases to offset some inevitable spending cuts. The Republicans won't discuss it.
The President on Monday urged the nation's governors to press Washington lawmakers into action to avert the looming sequester. "All of us are concerned about our politics, both in our own party's as well as the other party's. But at some point we've got to do some governing," he said.
But House Speaker John Boehner scoffed Monday at the tax idea. "The president says we have to have another tax increase to avoid the sequester," Boehner said. "Well, Mr. President, you got your tax increase. It's time to cut spending."
Boehner and others accused Obama of running a political campaign and trying to scare Americans rather than doing any serious talking about sequestration.
It's not clear how soon the cuts will be apparent after Friday when sequestration is supposed to kick in. Investors, however, didn't much like the uncertainty. The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) fell 216 points to 13,784, the worst loss for the blue-chip index since November.
The sell-off was exacerbated by worries that Italy was heading to political deadlock and could disrupt markets in Europe.
The sequester involves about $85 billion in cuts, roughly split between military and nonmilitary domestic programs. It was imposed in the 2011 deal that ended the debt-ceiling crisis. The cuts were meant as a scare tactic, not as a real-world policy, the Washington Post noted on Monday. The cuts conceptually were so deep and so painful, it was believed, that the two parties would be forced to replace them with something else.
But the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party is the controlling element, and they want spending cuts more than they care about anything else.
But after Boehner reportedly said over the weekend that the president had "b---s made out of marshmallows," the White House might not be too excited to negotiate with him.
The real bite will come on or about March 27 when Congress is supposed to pass a continuing resolution to keep the government running.
There are clear indications of who would be affected: Everyone. Federal employees face furloughs and salary cuts. Federal hiring has been frozen. The Transportation Department is warning that flights could be delayed or cancelled as air controllers are furloughed.
Airport security lines will be longer, Homeland Security Secret Janet Napolitano said Monday.
Most affected all will states and communities with big defense presences, including Texas, California, Florida, Virginia, Washington State and Hawaii.
In addition, medical research would be disrupted as would Medicare and other popular programs.

President Obama is not proposing a tax hike. What he's proposing is getting rid of the (tax loopholes/breaks) on private jets, yachts and capital gains.....(something the average Joe/Jane doesn't get to take advantage of) so why should the "ultra rich"? With the revenue, President Obama can pay off Bush's War debt. If not the middle class will continue to pay. SIMPLE AS THAT...
"Facebook" a multi-million dollar company had "no" federal income tax liability and got millions of dollars in a refund...
Go figure..
GIL...You are REACHING, and running a SMOKE and SMEARS Campaign, just like the Majority of Conservative Republicans....Don't hurt the Wealthy, don't hurt the Defense Machine..
And for God's sake don't hurt, any of those "CUSHY" Government Jobs
After the rest of America, the Poor and Middle Classes, have taken it where the sun doesn't shine.
It's time to "Pay the Piper."
If you are a Moderate, with Fiscal Sanity; Maybe even a Conservative with that attitude, I could probably accept it ?....But, that's not what you sound like...The "free rides are over."
When you only blame the President, and make childish, mockery statements; It really doesn't hold water with me...
After the fiscal cliff, Boehner said "I got 98% of what I wanted".I guess that was a tax
increase.I`m going to start calling Boehner "the undertaker".He always looks like he`s at
a funeral.If he had his way we would be at a funeral.Except for the top 1%."the
undetaker" can`t hold the TEA party from taking over his party.

The best junior age players from the two of the world's top hockey nations go head-to-head in Halifax tonight as the Canada-Russia Hockey Challenge resumes tonight. Watch the game live at 6:30pm et/3:30pm pt on TSN and TSN Mobile TV and listen live on TSN Radio 1050 and TSN Radio 990. You can also talk hockey and get updates with TSN.ca's Live Game blog during the game.
After winning Game 1 of the series by a score of 3-2, Canada fell 6-3 to Russia in a penalty-filled affair in Game 2.
Team Canada's Mark Scheifele was ejected in the scoreless first period on a game misconduct after a kneeing call on Kirill Kapustin, who went on to be the difference maker with a hat trick in the game.
"We knew that if we took poor penalties and were soft with our discipline we were going to allow them to stay in the game," head coach Steve Spott said. "Ultimately, for me, that was the difference in the game."
Goaltender Maxime Lagace, defencemen Dougie Hamilton, Xavier Ouellet and Griffin Reinhart and forwards Brendan Leipsic and Hunter Shinkaruk will not suit up for Canada tonight.
Reinhart is dealing with a stinger.
"Our doctors will decide going forward whether he'll see another game," said Spott. "He's got a good range of motion and the pain's definitely subsided."
Laurent Brossoit will start in goal for Canada.

Eat Humane: Food Guides for Meat, Eggs, and Dairy
Which is better: grass fed or pasture raised? What about Certified Humane? No matter how many articles you've read, it can be hard to remember what all of these labels mean when you're standing in the meat, egg, or dairy aisle at the grocery store. WSPA, the World Society for the Protection of Animals, gives you a hand with their Eat Humane food guides. In addition to their website, there's an iPhone app and a printable pocket guide.
With Eat Humane, WSPA defines and ranks food labels, categorizing them as Good, Better, and Best. Through the website and free iPhone app, users can search for products like dairy, eggs, processed meat, and unprocessed meat at grocery chains and restaurants. If you're not an iPhone/Touch/Pad user, there's also a printable pocket guide. The website also provides a wealth of information about animal welfare, factory farming, and making humane eating choices.

It looks like that chicken is aiming a fresh egg right at the camera...
Guess what? Chicken butt.
Proof I need to pay closer attention as I'm scrolling through Google Reader: I read "Eat Humane: Food Guides for Meat, *Dogs*, and Dairy.
Yikes! I didn't think this was that kind of website.
What is wrong with that chicken's butt?!
For chicken and pork and eggs, "pasture raised" is what you are looking for. I think it may be referred to as "naturally raised" but you need make sure it's pasture raised. For cattle, most cattle are technically "grass fed" most of their lives. Its the last few months of their lives, where commercially-processed cattle are sent to feed lots where they live in squalid conditions and are fattened up with hormones and additives, that make the difference. So you are looking for "grass finished" beef to be truly naturally raised.
I think even many of the smaller, naturally-raising farmers use the same slaughter houses that commercial ranchers do, so it gets a lot more fuzzy with the humane-ness of that part. I think the quality of their lives tips the balance in favor of method of death, ultimately.
Is it really necessary to show the the butt end of a chicken in the opening photo?
Thanks for the guide! I have a pocket guide for seafood the the Monterey Aquarium (http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr/cr_seafoodwatch/sfw_recommendations.aspx) so in those situation where I have to eat seafood I don't feel to bad about it
I suggest reading Jonathan Saffran Foers book "Eating Meat" if you're interested in knowing exactly where your meat comes from! It exposes the shocking truths about factory farming and such.
the best way to know? buy local and visit the farm. labels are meaningless if you don't know where your food actually comes from.
Just a heads up that Whole Foods have "grass-fed, grain-finished" beef - what? Don't get suckered into the whole grass-fed thing, because it can get quite tricky.
babyfishmouth is right, pastured poultry and pigs are the way to go, try to eat more bison than beef.
Foer's book is actually called Eating Animals and is apparently pretty eye-opening in a horrifying way.
Just downloaded the iPhone app, thanks!
Or, you know, you could just go veg :-)
Oh yes! I'm sorry.. Eating Animals. Thank you for the correction.
And I absolutely agree with veggiesho! Just become vegetarian so you don't have to worry about all of that stuff!
"Proof I need to pay closer attention as I'm scrolling through Google Reader: I read "Eat Humane: Food Guides for Meat, *Dogs*, and Dairy.
Yikes! I didn't think this was that kind of website."
really, there's no difference. dogs and cows - both animals. in some countries it's absurd to eat cows just as much as americans find it absurd to eat dog. how about not eating any animals instead of picking favorites?
anyways, gross.
and there's no "humane" meat. it's humane not to kill them at all. it's ridiculous.
Nothing "humane" happens in the bowels of a kill floor.
"Humane" means to be concerned with the alleviation of suffering. These beings are not ill, maimed or otherwise "unhealthy". They are not in an aging pain. They are delivered "fit for living", so there is no "suffering to alleviate".
If one is really concerned with animal "welfare" the best thing that can be done for animals is to stop eating them! There are so many healthy and satisfying plant based alternatives.
Want to create a better world? Eat like you mean it-Go Vegan
This is why my stay in this community will be short. All the lecturing in the comments get really old, really fast.
Did I miss something or did PETA just swarm The Kitchn's comments section all of a sudden?
Goodness. There's nothing wrong with eating meat; if anything, our eating meat has ensured survival of both cows and chickens. Humans were born omnivores, and I sure feel much better after eating responsibly raised and slaughtered meat than I am after eating fake, usually overly processed substitutes for it, like that awful Tofurky junk. Plus all that money towards soy-based products ironically feeds back into giving more money towards the factory farming system, since the government gives more money to subsidizing soy which is used BOTH in factory farm feed as well as in "vegetarian alternatives."
If you want to make a difference, you won't do it with changing your eating habits. If you're doing it for religious or dietary reasons, that's respectable, but you won't make a difference by funneling your money into the factory farm system via a different (not to mention usually much more expensive) means. The best thing to do is eat less processed foods, whether it's omnivore-friendly or not.
I'm a little late chiming in here but I'm catching up on my posts and the news about the dairy farm abuse in Ohio (Google if you're interested). I find it heartbreaking that animals can be abused at a family farm, by a worker AND the farm owner, although only the worker was arrested.
I know that many of us only eat food that we can visit. But what can we do as eaters to demand better behavior from our food producers across the board? I'm in the midst of contacting food companies to find out if they have ways of monitoring their suppliers. I know that most farmers go into the business because they care for their animals, but the system has become so depraved that I feel at a loss. On the other hand, maybe it's that reporting has become more prominent and we are on the path toward more humane standards across the board.

With no pre-existing relationship or shared contacts, I very carefully drafted a cold-email. A cold-email is an email where you reach out directly to someone of interest, without an introduction. Introductions are great, as they allow you to lend off the credibility of your mutual contact and can give your email priority among all the nameless messages; however when there is no mutual contact a cold-email is the way to go. Cold-emails can often feel like you're sending a message to the black hole - but if done right, can be incredibly successful.
Over the course of the last year and during my academic research that led to SoJo, I have sent hundreds of cold-emails. SoJo has been relatively successful with cold-emails. More than half of the content on http://theSoJo.net have come as a result of cold-emails. When going on our first cross-Atlantic networking trip, some of my most engaged and meaningful connections came as a result of cold-emails.
I am obviously a big advocate of cold-emails, and as such, SoJo has implemented a policy where we respond to all new incoming emails within a timely manner. However if you are not cold-messaging us, here are some insights that may help you overcome this fear:
Practice, Practice, Practice
Daunting initially, it gets easier with time. The more cold-emails you write, the better you get at articulating your message in a way that resonates with your audience. With no human contact, it can be very difficult to get the attention of your reader and compel them to take the initiative to respond to your message.
Be clear with your intentions
Everyone is busy. Be honest and state your intentions upfront. If you don't have a clear idea of why you're messaging this person, then perhaps wait until you confidently feel like you can lead a meaningful conversation that will offer value to the other party. You'd be surprised of the number of people willing to help, but it's your job to ensure they understand what you need.
Opportunity cost of waiting
You miss 100% of the opportunities you don't take. Ask yourself, what's the most you have to lose? The time you spent writing that email and disappointment that comes when you receive no response? The more you send, the better your probabilities of a positive response. Often we don't send a cold-email, because we're waiting for a warm introduction, or for the right time to sell our vision. Its ok if your product is not perfect or if you don't have all the answers. That's why you're reaching out to others to get involved.
Its OK to be nervous
While it gets easier with practice, if you're sending an email to someone whom you're excited to connect with, the nerves will still kick-in when you're about to click "SEND." That's ok. It serves as a reminder that you're still passionate about the work you do, and have the courage to put yourself out there. This is a good thing!
Write with no expectations
If I had to guess, I think my success rate on cold-emails is about 40%. Although I put an incredible amount of effort into drafting good cold-emails, with time, I've learned to let go of the expectations of a response. In my opinion, it is better to be pleasantly surprised, then sadly disappointed. People are busy. Some people don't acknowledge or read an email if it is not from someone they know. I personally don't think this is smart business, as we must be open to opportunities that present themselves in many forms -- but we must be mindful of the reality that exists.
Twitter is also cited as a highly effective way of building meaningful connections with strangers, and some of the suggestions above can be adapted for other forms of communication.

I am also an avid amateur photographer. I have been taking photographs most of my life. My primary camera is the Nikon D7100 with an 18-135 mm lens attached, but I'm also known to use other lenses as well as the camera on my iPhone 5.
I created this website to put all my strategies for stock market investing and financial independence, my better photographic images, and my random thoughts and ideas in one centralized location. By putting this all in one place, hopefully I will eventually become a better investor, a better photographer and a better thinker.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The Green Bay metropolitan area's unemployment worsened in February after skyrocketing in January.
The jobless rate increased from 7.3% to 7.6% in February.
That's according to new numbers from the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development released Wednesday. The unemployment rate is based on a household survey.
There was a net loss of 100 jobs in February. That data is derived from a very small survey of employers.
The data is preliminary and local jobs numbers are not seasonally adjusted. The data is typically revised months later.

-- Robert Preidt
TUESDAY, July 12 (HealthDay News) -- Among nursing home
residents at high risk for bed sores, black patients are more
likely than whites to develop the potentially serious
Bed sores, also called pressure sores or pressure ulcers,
greatly increase a patient's cost of care and the risk of illness
and death. They can almost always be prevented through proper care,
such as helping a patient change position every few hours.
For this study, researchers analyzed 2003 to 2008 data on bed
sore rates in 2.1 million white residents and 346,808 black
residents of 12,473 certified nursing homes in the United States.
The patients included in the study were at high risk for bed
Overall rates of bed sores decreased over the years, but black
patients had consistently higher rates than white patients. The
rate among white residents decreased from 11.4 percent in 2003 to
9.6 percent in 2008, while the rate among black residents decreased
from 16.8 percent to 14.6 percent.
The highest rate of bed sores in 2008 (15.5 percent) occurred
among black residents in nursing homes with the highest
concentrations of black residents. The lowest rate (8.8 percent)
was among white residents in nursing homes with the lowest
concentrations of black residents.
The researchers also found that residents of both races in
nursing homes with the highest concentrations of black residents
were at least 30 percent more likely to develop bed sores than
residents in nursing homes with few or no black residents.
The study appears in the July 13 issue of the
Journal of the American Medical Association.
Nursing homes with higher concentrations of black residents tend
to have lower staffing levels of registered nurses and certified
nurse assistants and to be larger for-profit and urban facilities,
noted Yue Li of the University of Iowa, Iowa City, and colleagues
in a journal news release.
Because differences in mattresses and disposable briefs can
influence bed sore rates, the authors of an accompanying journal
editorial said more research is needed to explain disparities and
correct them.

Bowling Green Police have spent hours searching fields along Sand Ridge and Wintergarden roads looking for a suspected robber. Now they need help from the public.
A woman came home to a house on the 1400 block of Sand Ridge Road Tuesday night to find a stranger inside. When police responded, they noticed a man walking down the road nearby.
Police say when the suspect spotted the officers around 10 p.m. on Tuesday, he ran straight into a cornfield where he hid. The surrounding roads were roped off until 1 a.m.
"They turned around and attempted to confront him, and as soon as he turned on the spotlight to illuminate the subject, he darted into a cornfield," said Major Tony Hetrick.
Police say they had the perimeter secure, but the suspect managed to get away.
"We have about 4-5 officers on duty at any given time, so to cover the miles around this area, there's going to be some gaps until you get more units in," Hetrick explained.
The victim of the robbery didn't want her identity revealed. Police couldn't say what was stolen, but they do say she was targeted by the suspect.
Police also warn others in the area to use caution and report any suspicious activity until the suspect is behind bars.

Officials in Tiffin are
working on a plan to tear down two buildings they bought earlier this week on
Market Street.
The former home of the
Pryzm Hotel, and the warehouse directly behind it have become an eyesore in
downtown Tiffin.
"The hotel has been vacant
for probably approximately 10 years," said Tiffin Council President Paul
On Monday, city council
approved the purchase of the two buildings for $120,000, using money from their
Venture Capital Fund. The previous owner showed no signs of doing anything with
the property, so the city stepped in.
"Let's get it down," said
Councilman Jim Roberts. "It's not going to do us any good sitting there, as it
is, right now."
Demolition is expected to
cost around $75,000, which is more than what's left in the Venture Capital
Fund, so yesterday council approved to allow the city to take bids for
demolition, hoping the bidding process will lower the final cost.
But officials say the
final total will be money well spent.
"We're going to make some
good use of the funds, and help create some economic development for the City
of Tiffin," Elchert said.
No concrete plans are in
place yet for the property after demolition, but officials know whatever goes
in will be better than the current vacant buildings that left a bad first
impression on visitors.
"This is the first thing
they see after the cross the river bridge," said Roberts. "We just hope it will
revitalize the city and revitalize the citizens a little bit."

United States home front during World War I
Weapons for Liberty – U.S.A. Bonds by J. C. Leyendecker, 1918
|United States
The home front of the United States in World War I saw a systematic mobilization of the entire population and the entire economy to produce the soldiers, food supplies, munitions and money needed to win the war. Although the United States entered the war in April 1917, there had been very little planning, or even recognition of the problems that the British and other Allies had to solve on their home fronts. As a result, the level of confusion was high in the first 12 months, then efficiency took control.
The war came in the midst of the Progressive Era, when efficiency and expertise were highly valued. Therefore the federal government (and states as well) set up a multitude of temporary agencies to bring together the expertise necessary to redirect the economy and society into the production of munitions and food necessary for the war, as well as the production of ideas necessary to motivate the people.

Lead-up to U.S. entry[edit]
By 1916, Britain was funding most of the Empire's war expenditures, all of Italy's and two thirds of the war costs of France and Russia, plus smaller nations as well. The gold reserves, overseas investments and private credit then ran out forcing forced Britain to borrow $4 billion from the U.S. Treasury in 1917–18.[1] Much of this money was spent paying United States industries to manufacture ammunition. United States Cartridge Company expanded its work force ten-fold in response to September 1914 contracts with British purchasing agents; and ultimately manufactured over two billion rifle and machine gun cartridges for the United Kingdom, Russia, the Netherlands, Italy, France, and the United States.[2] Baldwin Locomotive Works expanded their Eddystone, Pennsylvania, manufacturing facilities in 1915 to manufacture Russian artillery shells and British rifles.[3] The United States production of smokeless powder was equal to the combined production of the European Allies during the last 19 months of the war; and by the end of the war United States factories were producing smokeless powder at a rate 45 percent higher than the European Allies' combined production. Production rate of explosives by the United States was similarly 40 percent higher than the United Kingdom and nearly twice that of France.[4] Shipments of American raw materials and food allowed Britain to feed itself and its army while maintaining her productivity. The financing was generally successful.[5] Heavy investment in ammunition manufacturing machinery did not bring long term prosperity to some major American companies. The United States Cartridge Company Lowell, Massachusetts, factory which manufactured nearly two-thirds of the small arms cartridges produced in the United States during the war, closed eight years later.[6] After Baldwin manufactured over six million artillery shells, nearly two million rifles, and 5,551 military locomotives for Russia, France, Britain and the United States,[3] postwar production never used more than one-third the capacity of the Eddystone factory; and Baldwin declared bankruptcy in 1935.[7]
Temporary Agencies[edit]
Congress authorized President Woodrow Wilson to create a bureaucracy of 500,000 to 1 million new jobs in five thousand new federal agencies.[8] To solve the labor crisis the Employment Service of the Department of Labor attracted workers from the South and Midwest to war industries in the East.
Government propaganda[edit]
In April 1917, the Wilson Administration created the Committee on Public Information (CPI), known as the Creel Committee, to control war information and provide pro-war propaganda. Employing talented writers and scholars, it issued anti-German pamphlets and films. It organized thousands of "Four-Minute Men" to deliver brief speeches at movie theaters, schools and churches to promote patriotism and participation in the war effort.[9]
Military draft[edit]
In 1917 the administration decided to rely primarily on conscription, rather than voluntary enlistment, to raise military manpower for World War I. The Selective Service Act of 1917 was carefully drawn to remedy the defects in the Civil War system and—by allowing exemptions for dependency, essential occupations, and religious scruples—to place each man in his proper niche in a national war effort. The act established a "liability for military service of all male citizens"; authorized a selective draft of all those between twenty-one and thirty-one years of age (later from eighteen to forty-five); and prohibited all forms of bounties, substitutions, or purchase of exemptions. Administration was entrusted to local boards composed of leading civilians in each community. These boards issued draft calls in order of numbers drawn in a national lottery and determined exemptions. In 1917 and 1918 some 24 million men were registered and nearly 3 million inducted into the military services, with little of the resistance that characterized the Civil War.[10]
The private American Protective League, working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, was one of many private patriotic associations that sprang up to support the war and at the same time identify slackers, spies, draft dodgers and anti-war organizations.[11]
Civil liberties[edit]
The Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 attempted to punish enemy activity and extended to the punishment expressions of doubt about America's role in the war. The Sedition Act criminalized any expression of opinion that used "disloyal, profane, scurrilous or abusive language" about the U.S. government, flag or armed forces. Government police action, private vigilante groups and public war hysteria compromised the civil liberties of many Americans who disagreed with Wilson's policies.[12]
In a July 1917 speech, Max Eastman complained that the government's aggressive prosecutions of dissent meant that "You can't even collect your thoughts without getting arrested for unlawful assemblage."[13]
The nascent film industry produced a wide variety of propaganda films. The most successful was The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin, a "sensational creation" designed to rouse the audience against the German ruler. Comedies included Mutt and Jeff at the Front. The greatest artistic success, considered by many a landmark of film history, was Charlie Chaplin's Shoulder Arms, which followed the star from his induction into the military, his accidental penetration of the German lines, and his eventual return having captured the Kaiser and Crown Prince and won himself a pretty French girl.[14] Other activities included film shorts supporting the sale of war bonds or for war relief such as Tom's Little Star.
Farming and food[edit]
The U.S. Food Administration under Herbert Hoover launched a massive campaign to teach Americans to economize on their food budgets and grow victory gardens in their backyards.[15] It managed the nation's food distribution and prices.[16]
Gross farm income increased more than 230% from 1914 to 1919. Apart from 'wheatless Wednesdays' and 'meatless Tuesdays' due to poor harvests in 1916 and 1917, there were 'fuelless Mondays' and 'gasless Sundays' to preserve coal and gasoline.[citation needed]
World War I saw many women taking traditionally men's jobs for the first time in American history. Many worked on the assembly lines of factories, producing tanks, trucks and munitions. For the first time, department stores employed African American women as elevator operators and cafeteria waitresses. The Food Administration helped housewives prepare more nutritious meals with less waste and with optimum use of the foods available. Most important, the morale of the women remained high, as millions joined the Red Cross as volunteers to help soldiers and their families, and with rare exceptions, the women did not protest the draft.[17]
For example, a number of fathers and brothers entered the war, and many were subsequently maimed in action or killed, causing many children to be brought up by single mothers.[18] Additionally, as the male workforce left for battle, mothers and sisters began working in factories to take their positions, and the family dynamic began to change; this affected children as they had less time to spend with family members and were expected to grow up faster and help with the war effort. Similarly, Woodrow Wilson called on children involved in youth organizations to help collect money for war bonds and stamps in order to raise money for the war effort.[19] This was very important because the children were having a direct effect on the financial state of the United States government during World War I. As children were collecting large amounts of money outside of school, within the classroom, curriculum also began to change as a result of the war. Woodrow Wilson again became involved with these children as he implemented government pamphlets and programs to encourage war support through things like mandatory patriotism and nationalism classes multiple times a week.[20] Even though war was not being fought on United States soil, children's lives were greatly affected as all of these changes were made to their daily lives as a result of the conflict. World War I affected children in the United States through several social and economic changes in the school curriculum and through shifts in parental relationships.
Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor, and nearly all labor unions were strong supporters of the war effort. They minimized strikes as wages soared and full employment was reached. The AFL unions strongly encouraged their young men to enlist in the military, and fiercely opposed efforts to reduce recruiting and slow war production by the anti-war IWW and left-wing Socialists. President Wilson appointed Gompers to the powerful Council of National Defense, where he set up the War Committee on Labor. The AFL membership soared to 2.4 million in 1917. In 1919, the AFL tried to make their gains permanent and called a series of major strikes in meat, steel and other industries. The strikes ultimately failed, forcing unions back to positions similar to those around 1910.[21] Anti-war socialists controlled the IWW, which fought against the war effort and was in turn shut down by legal action by the federal government.
To keep factories running smoothly, Wilson established the National War Labor Board in 1918, which forced management to negotiate with existing unions.
Americanization of ethnics[edit]
The outbreak of war in 1914 increased concern about the millions of foreign born in the United States. The short-term concern was their loyalty to their native countries and the long-term was their assimilation into American society. Numerous agencies became active in promoting "Americanization" so that the ethnics would be psychologically and politically loyal to the U.S. The states set up programs through their Councils of National Defense; numerous federal agencies were involved, including the Bureau of Education, the United States Department of the Interior and the Food Administration. The most important private organization was the National Americanization Committee (NAC) directed by Frances Kellor. Second in importance was the Committee for Immigrants in America, which helped fund the Division of Immigrant Education in the federal Bureau of Education.[22]
The war prevented millions of recently arrived immigrants from returning to Europe as they originally intended. The great majority decided to stay in America. Foreign language use declined dramatically. They welcomed Americanization, often signing up for English classes and using their savings to buy homes and bring over other family members.[23]
Kellor, speaking for the NAC in 1916, proposed to combine efficiency and patriotism in her Americanization programs. It would be more efficient, she argued, once the factory workers could all understand English and therefore better understand orders and avoid accidents. Once Americanized, they would grasp American industrial ideals and be open to American influences and not subject only to strike agitators or foreign propagandists. The result, she argued would transform indifferent and ignorant residents into understanding voters, to make their homes into American homes, and to establish American standards of living throughout the ethnic communities. Ultimately, she argued it would "unite foreign-born and native alike in enthusiastic loyalty to our national ideals of liberty and justice.[24]
Alien internments[edit]
See also German American internment during World War I
German citizens were required to register with the federal government and carry their registration cards at all times. Some 2,048 German citizens were imprisoned beginning in 1917, and all were released by spring 1920. Allegations against them included spying for Germany or endorsing the German war effort. They ranged from immigrants suspected of sympathy for their native land, civilian German sailors on merchant ships in U.S. ports when war was declared, and Germans who worked part of the year in the United States, including 29 players from the Boston Symphony Orchestra and other prominent musicians.[25]
Anti-German activity[edit]
German Americans by this time usually had only weak ties to Germany; however, they were fearful of negative treatment they might receive if the United States entered the war (such mistreatment was already happening to German-descent citizens in Canada and Australia). Almost none called for intervening on Germany's side, instead calling for neutrality and speaking of the superiority of German culture. They were increasingly marginalized, however, and by 1917 had been excluded almost entirely from national discourse on the subject.[26]
When the war began, overt examples of German culture came under attack. Many churches cut back or ended their German language services. German parochial schools switched to the use of English in the classroom. Courses in German were dropped from public high school curricula. Some street names were changed. One person was killed by a mob at a tavern in a southern Illinois mining town.[27]
War bonds[edit]
Elaborate propaganda campaigns were launched to encourage Americans to buy Liberty bonds. In ethnic centers, ethnic groups were pitted against each other so that groups were encouraged to purchase more bonds compared to their historic rivals in order to demonstrate superior patriotism.[28]
Economic confusion in 1917[edit]
In terms of munitions production, the first 15 months involved an amazing parade of mistakes, misguided enthusiasm, and confusion. Americans were willing enough, but they did not know their proper role. Washington was unable to figure out what to do when, or even to decide who was in charge. Typical of the confusion was the coal shortage that hit in December 1917. Because coal was by far the major source of energy and heat a grave crisis ensued. There was in fact plenty of coal being mined, but 44,000 loaded freight and coal cars were tied up in horrendous traffic jams in the rail yards of the East Coast. Two hundred ships were waiting in New York harbor for cargo that was delayed by the mess. The solution included nationalizing the coal mines and the railroads for the duration, shutting down factories one day a week to save fuel, and enforcing a strict system of priorities. Only in March, 1918, did Washington finally take control of the crisis[29]
Attacks on the USA[edit]
The Central Powers carried out a number of acts of sabotage and a single submarine attack against the mainland of the USA during the war, but never staged an invasion of the country, although there were rumors that German advisers were present at the Battle of Ambos Nogales.
Numerous rumors of German plans for sabotage alarmed Americans. After midnight on July 30, 1916, a series of small fires were found on a pier in Jersey City, New Jersey. Sabotage was suspected and some guards fled, fearing an explosion; others attempted to fight the fires. Eventually they called the Jersey City Fire Department. An explosion occurred at 2:08 a.m., the first and biggest of the explosions. Shrapnel from the explosion traveled long distances, some lodging in the Statue of Liberty and other places. Seven people died.
On July 21, 1918, a German U-boat positioned itself off of Orleans, Massachusetts opened fire and sank a tugboat and some barges until it was driven off by American warplanes.

After teasing it for quite some time now, Lexus has finally unveiled the third generation IS sedan at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. The new model will be put on sale in mid-2013 in both rear- and all-wheel-drive versions, and in 250 and 350 trim levels. There will also be an F-Sport variant, and Europe and Japan will get an IS 300h version featuring the new Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder, 2.5-liter engine combined with a high-torque motor.
The 2014 Lexus IS features the same design language we have already seen in models like GS and LS , including an inverted trapezoidal upper grille and slanted lower grille. Unlike the previous models, which featured a three-projector LED headlamp unit, the new IS receives Lexus' new powerfully articulated headlamp cluster design with L-shaped Daytime Running Lights (DRL) located independently below.
Both models will be offered with a V-6 engine, one in a 2.5-liter displacement and the other one in 3.5-liter displacement.

Updated 11/08/2013: Lexus came with its entire 2014 lineup at the Miami International Auto Show that opens its doors today. The new generation IS luxury sedan is of course included, so, if you happen to be in the neighborhood then you should definitely take a ride at the show.
Updated 06/27/2014: Lexus announced today a series of upgrades for the 2015 IS sedan which will be put on sale later in the summer. For the 2015 model year, IS gains a new pair of LED fog lights for the exterior, while the interior gets numerous cabin enhancements. Check them out after the jump.
Hit the jump to find out more details on the third generation Lexus IS.
The third-generation Lexus IS features a powerful stance with design elements shared with the previous sedan models launched by Lexus. It gets an inverted trapezoidal upper grille and slanted lower grille, new powerfully articulated headlamp cluster design with L-shaped Daytime Running Lights (DRL) located independently below and wide flare of the wheel arches.
Lexus is also offering an F-Sport package that adds in an exclusive spindle grille that incorporates a bolder-insert design, aerodynamic detailing on the bottom corners of the front bumpers and a unique set of 18-inch wheels in a Y-spoke design, which are inspired by the LFA.
New for 2015
- new LED fog lights
The interior features a clean, horizontal theme, combining refined materials with all the latest technologies offered by Lexus. The driver's seat has been redesigned so it now offers greater comfort and better lateral support. There is also an LFA-inspired steering wheel and a high-quality analog clock with surface-emitting illumination.
The wheelbase is now 3 inches longer and ensures a more comfortable cabin and increased trunk capacity. The list of standard features is quite long and includes: a climate-control system that incorporates Lexus-first electrostatic switches, and Lexus Display Audio or Remote Touch-controlled Navigation multimedia systems.
New for 2015
- heated steering wheel
- F SPORT package now includes heated/ventilated front seats
- the standard backup monitor adds dynamic gridlines
- the in-demand Siri® Eyes Free mode, with technology licensed from Apple®
- advanced Lexus Enform Remote (one-year trial subscription included)
The Engine
The 2014 Lexus IS is offered in two trim versions: IS 250 and IS 350. The base version is powered by a 2.5-liter V-6 gas engine and the IS 350 version gets a 3.5-liter V-6 gas engine.
The new IS will be offered with a new Drive Mode Select system that features four switchable driving modes – ECO, NORMAL, SPORT and SPORT S+.
For the top version — the IS 350 RWD — Lexus serves up an eight-speed, Sport Direct Shift (SPDS) automatic transmission from the IS F high-performance sedan with quicker shifts, full torque converter lockup and throttle blips in manual mode.
Up front, the new IS features a revised double-wishbone front suspension system and at the rear it gets a new multilink suspension system from the GS.

The Competition
The new Q50 - the replacement for the previous G sedan - was unveiled on the same floor in Detroit. It comes with an updated 3.7-liter aluminum-alloy DOHC 24-valve V-6 engine that delivers a total of 328 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque.

The 3-series recently entered its new generation and it comes with an updated design and a new engine lineup. Customers can choose between a new 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine with an impressive output of 245 horsepower and a 3.0 liter six-in-line unit that delivers a total of 306 horsepower.
All three models deliver an incredible level of equipment and all of them have entered a new generation, but which one is the best? Up to this point is pretty difficult to offer an answer, because the 3-Series is the only one with real production experience, while both the IS and Q50 are just a few days old.

Press Release
Lexus today unveiled the all-new 2014 IS sedan at the North American International Auto Show. IS will be available in rear- and all-weather drive versions of the IS 250 and IS 350, a further evolution of F SPORT available across the entire model range, and for Europe, Japan, and select international markets, the IS 300h, the first IS to feature Lexus Hybrid Drive.
Driving performance is a key selling point in the sport sedan segment. In conjunction with a bold new design including the Lexus spindle grille, the all-new IS has been painstakingly engineered to have excellent dynamic capabilities to provide an exceptional driving experience.
"I adopted an entirely different approach to the development of the all-new IS," said Junichi Furuyama, IS chief engineer. "Specifically, it was to make an entertaining driving experience a major premise behind all aspects of performance.
"The conventional approach involves developing each individual aspect in the hope that they will combine to offer an engaging driving experience. By contrast, development of the new IS flipped this process on its head, first establishing the pleasurable driving experience owners desire, and then developing the individual performance elements to support it."
Every aspect of the IS has been engineered with a renewed focus on engaging performance, agile handling, accurate response to driver input and highly communicative feedback.
"The IS has always been precise and fun to drive," said Mark Templin, Lexus group vice president and general manager. "The all-new IS kicks it up a notch with true sport sedan driving dynamics, state of the art onboard technologies, and an all-new design that makes it look fast even when it's standing still."
Incorporating several Lexus-first features and technical innovations, the IS showcases an interior design with all the refinement and quality expected of a Lexus, plus a focused driver's environment, a significant improvement in rear seat comfort and spaciousness, and a larger, more convenient trunk.
Rear- and all-weather drive versions of the IS 250 are powered by a 2.5 liter V6 gas engine. The IS 350 features a 3.5 liter V6 gas engine. The IS 300h, which will be available in Europe, Japan, and select international markets, will employ the Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain, based on a newly developed 2.5L Atkinson-cycle engine.
IS adopts the Drive Mode Select system which offers up to four switchable driving modes- ECO, NORMAL, SPORT and SPORT S+ (S+ available on IS 350 only) - to optimize vehicle systems to suit the driver's preferred combination of fuel economy, comfort, performance and handling characteristics.
The IS 350 RWD features the eight-speed, Sport Direct Shift (SPDS) automatic transmission from the IS F high performance sedan with quicker shifts, full torque converter lockup and throttle blips in manual mode. The new IS is the first Lexus model to adopt G force Artificial Intelligence (G-AI) control in Sport mode. This system automatically selects the optimal gear and downshift pattern in response to G force, and maintains the selected gear through a corner.
Driving enjoyment was at the heart of the new IS development program, and every aspect of the new Lexus sedan's driving dynamics has been carefully engineered to that end.
New, laser screw welding and adhesive body bonding techniques, along with additional spot welding, have increased overall body rigidity. This enhances stability and also allows for a more comfortable ride without compromising handling agility.
The double wishbone front suspension system has been revised, offering a twenty percent increase in sway rigidity. The rear adopts a new multi-link suspension system from the GS. Fine tuning has resulted in outstanding grip performance and excellent response to steering inputs. Separate mounting of the spring and shock absorber maximizes trunk space.
Steering feel and feedback is key to an enjoyable driving experience, and the new IS benefits from a steering gear box based on that of the GS sedan, incorporating a variety of tuning techniques. The structure and rigidity of each gear box component has been revised to create a smoother and more accurate steering feel with enhanced input response and greater driver feedback.
IS F SPORT models not only benefit from exclusive, exterior and interior design features, but also genuine dynamic enhancements. Both the front and rear suspension systems and the Electric Power Steering (EPS) are exclusively tuned for F SPORT, enhancing handling performance. An Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) system is tuned for F SPORT models, while Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS) is also available on IS 350.
F SPORT models announce their presence with an exclusive spindle grille that incorporates a bolder insert design. The bottom corners of the front bumpers feature aerodynamic detailing to provide enhanced brake cooling. Unique 18-inch wheels feature a Y-spoke design inspired by the LFA.
On board, drivers will receive vehicle information from an innovative driver's meter cluster with a moving center ring, inspired by the LFA. Interior trim detailing includes an F SPORT steering wheel and shift knob, and aluminum pedals and scuff plates that include the Lexus logo.
The overall dynamic shape of the body emphasizes the wide flare of the wheel arches to give the new IS a broad, powerful stance.
In profile, the strong horizontal beltline shows off the large rear tires and its low center of gravity. The exterior design includes a new, powerfully articulated headlamp cluster design with Lexus' trademark, L-shaped Daytime Running Lights (DRL) located independently below.
Interior Design
The clean, horizontal theme of the interior is bisected by the strong upward sweep of the center console, creating an ergonomically ideal environment. The newly designed driver's seat offers greater comfort and better lateral support. Both the seat hip point and the angle of the new, LFA-inspired steering wheel have been lowered and steering reach adjustment has been increased, creating a driver focused seating position.
To better accommodate passengers, the new IS wheelbase is nearly three inches longer, providing a more comfortable cabin and increased trunk capacity. The extended wheelbase and a thinner front seat design results in three inches more knee room for rear passengers. New to the IS are standard, lockable 60:40 split/folding rear seats.
Refined materials throughout the cabin are complemented by a high quality analog clock with surface-emitting illumination. The climate control system incorporates Lexus-first electrostatic switches, which enable vehicle occupants to adjust temperature settings with the touch of a finger.
All IS models are equipped with the next generation, Lexus Display Audio or Remote Touch-controlled Navigation multimedia systems. Both multimedia systems provide industry-first complimentary real-time traffic and weather information delivered without a subscription through HD™ Radio Technology. The new steering wheel is the first on a Lexus to coordinate multimedia system control with both the meter cluster and center console displays.
The 2014 IS has 10 airbags standard, including rear seat side airbags. Available safety and security features include an Automatic High Beam (AHB) headlamp system, a Lane Departure Alert (LDA) system, a Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) and a Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system.
The AHB headlamp system maximizes visibility at night by automatically switching to low beams when its camera detects the lights of either an oncoming or preceding vehicle.
An LDA system helps prevent unintended lane changes by alerting the driver when the vehicle deviates from its lane without the operation of the turn signal.
The BSM uses rear mounted radar to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes that are not visible in the outer door mirrors.
The RCTA system employs the BSM radar to alert the driver to approaching vehicles when backing out of a parking space.
The all-new Lexus IS will go on sale in mid-2013.

52 issues, and a sellout ain't the problem*|*The Beat
I get the feeling that the #2's are going to be under-ordered and thus finding first prints will become difficult.While you can argue just what selling out means, it seems DC aced it this month — all 52 of the new 52 sold out from Diamond, and all will have 2nd editions. Even LEGION LOST, HAWK AND DOVE, ACTION, and BATGIRL will have third printings, and JL #1 is already in its FOURTH printing.
That leaves retailers scratching their heads over how to order #2s — more? less? The same?
Lost Comics: The Gerber/Nowlan Man-Thing graphic novel*|*The Beat
Awesome.A Man-Thing graphic novel by writer Steve Gerber and artist Kevin Nowlan. Initially started and announced in the 80s, it reportedly fell by the wayside while sitting on Nowlan's drawing board. The original title was "Screenplay of the Living Dead Man", intended to be a follow-up from the story "Song-Cry of the Living Dead Man" published in Man-Thing #12 way back when. It wasn't until Gerber's passing in 2008 that Nowlan refocused his energies and began working on the project again in his spare time. Back in March, Nowlan told me that it'll end up being a 62-page painted story, and I even confirmed with Marvel that they're going to publish it once Nowlan completes it.
Was Catwoman worse than Wonder Woman was good?*|*The Beat
Yesterday's Week 3 New 52 books brought the usual array of reactions, and in particular two pages from Red Hood and the Outlaws and Catwoman caused much consternation and tweetering. The usual suspects — ComicsAlliance , Blog@ and DC Women Kicking Ass were all up in arms over two admittedly icky characterizations — Starfire as a cosmic bimbo and Catwoman as Batman's arch-enemy with benefits. Andrew Wheeler has the most astute write up:
The third page also gives us the title of the issue, 'And Most of the Costumes Stay On'. This is your final clue that you are not imagining things; this is consciously and conspicuously an exploitation comic. This is a comic that emphatically sensationalises sex to stir up its audience.I still haven't read my Week 3 DC books, but Wonder Woman is getting REALLY good reviews.And here's my whole point: to everyone who wants things to change, we have to start getting behind the GOOD STUFF, not just putting down the bad stuff. Until a book of the quality of the Azzarello-Chiang Wonder Woman sells as well as (or, dare we dream…better) than the cheesecake fan service, there's not going to be more of it. It's easy and fun to give ridiculous poorly executed stories like CATWOMAN #1 a lot of attention…but isn't it really helping sell the book?
Speak with your dollar. Go back and buy an extra copy of WONDER WOMAN and give it to a friend. Promote the good.
New 52 team breaking up already: Krul off Green Arrow*|*The Beat
I don't really care about Green Arrow, but I do like Giffen...Now, JT Krul is out as GREEN ARROW writer. As revealed in the solicitations for December, Krul will be replaced by Keith Giffen as writer on GA

The Sun Used to Shine
THE SUN USED TO SHINE by EDWARD THOMAS
The sun used to shine while we two walked Slowly together, paused and started Again, and sometimes mused, sometimes talked As either pleased, and cheerfully parted
Each night. We never disagreed Which gate to rest on. The to be And the late past we gave small heed. We turned from men or poetry
To rumours of the war remote Only all both stood disinclined For aught but the yellow flavorous coat Of an apple wasps had undermined;
Or a sentry of dark betonies, The stateliest of small flowers on earth, At the forest verge; or crocuses Pale purple as if they had their birth
In sunless Hades fields. The war Came back to mind with the moonrise Which soldiers in the east afar Beheld then. Nevertheless, our eyes
Could as well imagine the Crusades Or Cæsar's battles. Everything To faintness like those rumours fades--- Like the brook's water glittering
Under the moonlight---like those walks Now---like us two that took them, and The fallen apples, all the talks And silences---like memory's sand
When the tide covers it late or soon, And other men through other flowers In those fields under the same moon Go talking and have easy hours.

Shooting has wrapped on The Hunger Games, which is based on the Suzanne Collins novel of the same name.
Filming began on 23 May 2011 and principal photography ended in North Carolina following an 84-day shoot.
With two other books in the teen fiction series - Catching Fire and Mockingjay - Lionsgate will hope this film can become the first in a money-spinning four-part series (yes, they're planning on doing a Harry Potter/Twilight and wringing an extra installment out of the books).
And the studio doesn't have long to wait now to find out if it its first movie can find a cinema audience, with a release date set for 23 March 2012.
The Hunger Games stars Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson.
