If Congress Agrees to This Rip-off Bailout, We'll Be Handing the Money to the People Who Got Us in This Mess
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The Bush administration is infamous for handing over its responsibilities to the private sector -- often with disastrous results -- so it is no surprise that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson wants to outsource the implementation of the Big Bailout he is now trying to ram through Congress.
Paulson has indicated he wants to hire private asset managers to carry out the purchase of some $700 billion in "troubled" securities. (That's after the federal government had already sunk a total of $900 billion into the housing and credit mess this year.) No restrictions are being placed, so far, on who these money mangers would be. This leaves open the possibility that some of the same firms that are being bailed out could be hired to oversee their own rescue. Institutions benefiting from a monumental giveaway of taxpayer money could turn around and earn yet more by acting as the government's brokers. Aside from the unseemliness of this double-dipping arrangement, there would be egregious conflicts of interest.
Paulson's original legislative proposal was oblivious to this danger. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd put forth a competing plan that went along with the idea of contracting out the asset management, though he had the decency to include a provision on conflict of interest. Yet rather than stating what the ethical rules should be, Dodd's draft would leave it up to the Treasury secretary to decide.
Paulson's approach to the bailout, particularly the insistence that there be no punitive measures for banks, shows he is not the right party to oversee the ethical issues. Paulson apparently can't help himself. He still has the mindset of a man who spent more than 30 years working on Wall Street, at Goldman Sachs. He is a living example of the perils of the reverse revolving door: the appointment of a private-sector figure to a key policy-making position overseeing his or her former industry.
Paulson also has personal conflicts of interest. Although he sold his Goldman stock after taking office, that $600 million personal fortune was presumably transferred to other investments that the current bailout plan would help protect. Paulson's wealth came from lavish executive compensation linked to his decision to shift the firm into more dangerous forms of investing. A 2006 article in Business Week about "Wall Street's culture of risk" read, "Goldman Sachs' CEO Henry M. Paulson Jr. has led the charge." Goldman managed to avoid the worst excesses that brought down the likes of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, but under Paulson it was betting in the same general casino.
Given his background, Paulson is not likely to impose very onerous conditions on the money managers he hires. Even if Treasury has the good sense not to choose firms that are getting bailed out, there remain serious pitfalls in having for-profit money managers handling the process. For example, there will be enormous temptations for those managers to use their inside knowledge to benefit their nongovernmental clients (and themselves) or collude with buyers to the detriment of the public.
There have been reports that a leading contender for a federal money management role is Laurence Fink and his firm BlackRock, which was involved in managing the portfolio of Bear Stearns when that firm was sold to JPMorgan Chase as part of an earlier bailout. In March, BlackRock -- which is 49 percent owned by Merrill Lynch (now part of Bank of America) -- announced it was forming a venture to "acquire and restructure distressed residential mortgage loans." Will Paulson see that as a conflict of interest -- or more likely as a credential?
Letting financial firms that have profited from the mortgage crisis manage the bailout puts the country even more tightly in the grip of Big Money. To Paulson's way of thinking, that's not a problem, but it could turn a bad plan into a total disaster.

Yoga's Surprising Health Benefits
Weight Control
Researchers can't say exactly why, but two recent studies show that yoga helps with weight loss and maintenance. After surveying more than 15,000 adults, researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle found that those who didn't practice yoga gained about 18.5 pounds more over a 10-year period than those who practiced for at least four years. A second study from the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, California, found that people who practiced yoga and meditation regularly, exercised, and watched their diet lost more weight than those who exercised and ate a healthy diet but skipped yoga.Pose Rx: Seated spinal twist
Sit on floor with legs extended. Bend right knee, stepping right foot on floor next to left hip. Bend left knee, bringing left foot near butt. Place hands on floor behind you. Sit tall and extend left arm in front of you at shoulder height. Turn torso to right, resting left elbow on the outside of your right knee. Breathe deeply for one minute, twisting deeper on each exhale. Repeat on opposite side. Twisting can aid digestion by helping the absorption of nutrients and the elimination of waste.

Any exercise will give you a healthier heart, a better nights sleep and of course feeling better. Yoga is good but I think it should be taken with other additional exercise, such as running, swimming etc. http://www.yoga-retreats.info/9/24/2014 04:45:52 PM Report Abuse
A few months ago I started reading Brilliant Yoga: The Complete Guide to Upgrading Your Body and Life by Sarah Sanders. It helped me discover the amazing benefits of yoga: increased flexibility, stress relief, toned muscles, improved sense of health and wellbeing and so many more. It also helped me lose weight, which is great!

The Times are Changing for This Technology Company
Gaurav is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is having a hard time lately as the shares have dropped nearly 10% following its Q4 earnings report. While the company has posted solid top line growth, its EPS of $8.67 remained a fraction below the street estimates. What is happening?
The Times They Are A-Changin'
This Bob Dylan song aptly illustrates all that is wrong with Apple. No company can remain at the top for so long and Apple seems to have reached the end of its golden era. That is not to say that Apple will cease to exist, it is just to suggest that Apple will not be such a powerhouse as it had been in the past. Now the possibility is that it will trade range bound. What makes me say so? I just look at the signs:
1) Whatever products Apple has launched after the death of Steve Jobs have not been able to "please" the end user.
2) Users can get better functionality than iPhone at much lower prices. I feel that the time when iPhone gained popularity, it was by far better than all the alternatives available on the market. But at present the things have changed and the competitors are closing in.
3) Consumers have started questioning the point of refreshing the product line every other year.
4) Apple has lost on the trust aspect it has taken long to build with its customers. The map fiasco was a "disaster." I cannot believe that it could have happened if Steve Jobs was still running the company.
While Apple and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) are inherently different from each other both of them have been the tech gems of their respective times. Microsoft looked pretty solid in 2002 with its high revenues and growth opportunities. Everyone loved it. Windows was on every computer, the TAM was growing, and FCF was not bad. But the company had far overgrown the growth stage. Now looking at Microsoft while the company has almost tripled its revenues over a period of ten years its stock price has only doubled in comparison taking into account the adjustments for splits. In the same 10 years Microsoft has launched several versions of its highly successful products- Windows and Office, same thing that Apple is doing right now-launching versions of its highly successful products. I feel that Apple could be walking along the same path as the hype around its products decreases.
Cannibalization & Competitive Concerns
With the iPad mini, iPad2 at a lower price and iPad4 all contesting to be the consumer's choice, I believe that a lot of cannibalization is going to happen for Apple going forward. Further, Apple is continuously struggling with its margins as the competition is getting more and more intense. The new products that are being launched by Apple are supporting lower operating margins than usual as is evident from the decrease in gross margins from 47.4% to 42.8% from Q2 to Q3, and a further 277 bps gross margin downfall is expected in Q4.
While many investors will still argue about the low PE of Apple when compared to Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), I feel that Amazon's PE is justified as Amazon is in the process of expansion by building its warehousing empire (in order to offer same day delivery) and Next gen cloud computing assets. Adding to that, I believe that Amazon is the leading retail stock to look for this holiday season as Amazon could break sales record this year too as online holiday sales will grow by ~12% to $96 billion in 2012 as forecasted by shop.org.
The Bottom Line
While I will still be using my Apple iPhone, I will not be willing to invest in the stock anytime soon. Reason? I can get much better returns if I look elsewhere. Even If Apple goes north from now, I don't believe that it can go past the high it had achieved and looking from the current prices I believe that it would be 28% return and who knows how much time it will take. As I believe that the growth stage is finally over for this stock and the stock is going to trade range bound from now on, I would advise the investors to lay off this stock in case you have it.

Britain's Defence Intelligence Staff have come up with "a reasonably justified explanation" to solve the mystery of UFO.
After a four-year inquiry, they have concluded that most sightings can be explained by a little-understood atmospheric phenomenon.
Glowing "plasmas" of gas are created by charges of electricity. Air flows then sculpt the plasmas into round or cigar-shaped objects which appear to fly at extraordinary speeds through the sky.
Such plasmas can play tricks on the mind, creating vivid impressions. In addition, because plasmas are electrically charged, they can change shape or colour if hit by another energy source, such as a radio signal sent by a UFO spotter. "This has led 'ufologists' to imagine that an 'alien response' is being given to their signals," the report adds. As a result, UFO witnesses may not be mad but instead suffering from "extended memory retention and repeat experiences" induced by the plasmas.
The report goes on to recommend that the findings on UFOs could be developed for "novel military applications", adding that Russia is already investigating such weapons.
It has been a bad year for fans of UFOs and green invaders. Last month, Special effects expert John Humphreys claimed he was one of the hoaxers behind the Roswell incident, footage supposedly showing an autopsy on alien corpses in 1947.

Tomas Saraceno will be at theThe Curve 11 May 2006 - 16 July 2006, Barbican Art Gallery, London. His long-term project draws on Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, and artistic disciplines in order to create a floating Utopia that would drift among the clouds to solve the world's exploding population problem.
A few decades ago, some architects had a similar vision of suspended or moving communities: Superstudio's City of the Hemispheres and Archigram's moving units, Seaside Bubbles and Yona Friedman's spatial cities. Friedman developed his principles shortly after the Second World War, a period in which acute housing shortage and urban rebuilding had to be addressed. The architect proposed huge structures, supported on columns, in which residents could build their own dwellings. He later developed manuals in the form of comic-books that enabled people to take decisions about the design of their own living environment (audio interview of the architect in french.)

US ethicist Patrick Lin, of the The Nanoethics Group in Santa Barbara, believes that we will need an intergalactic police force to keep order in space and protect the interests of the vulnerable.
Commercial space travel is becoming a reality, says Lin, and the public needs confidence that governments, scientists and astronauts are considering the consequences of exploring space.
For instance, we need a fair process for commercialising or claiming property in space to avoid the kind of "chaotic land-grab" that occurred with internet domain names. There are legal disputes already. Despite UN treaties declaring space as commonly-owned, he says lawsuits have been filed to lay claim to asteroids.
Lin says it is important to have a justifiable reason for exploring space. "Are reasons such as for adventure, wanderlust or 'backing up the biosphere' good enough to justify our exploration of space?"
Lin says issues such as polluting space, the proliferation of military technologies in space and the safety of space travellers should also be considered. "Have we learned enough about ourselves and our history to avoid the same mistakes as we have made on Earth?"
Finally, some critics suggest it may be better to spend money on alleviating poverty and hunger, providing access to clean and affordable water and energy, and addressing other issues including human rights violations.
In order to help alien visitors to land their UFO's safely in the Netherlands, Martin Riebeek in collaboration with the Dutch city of Houten (near Utrecht) have imagined to create an UFO landing pad on the roundabouts at the exit of the A27 highway.
On the eastern roundabout, a UFO platform will be built with light green reflecting, artificial coating. In the middle, a big red "U" (for UFO) has the role to greet alien cultures politely.
On the western roundabout, the light of the six meter high traffic tower will change its colour as soon as traffic on the highway has low intensity. Then the UFOs will know that they can start their landing. The intermediate 300 meters will be lit with blue lights on both sides of the road, much like the ones at airports.

Malaysia's National Space Agency is holding a conference to consider Muslim astronauts pray in space as the country prepares to send its first citizen into orbit.
Three of the four astronaut candidates selected so far are Muslims. Two will eventually be trained and sent into space by Russia.
Performing ablutions for Muslim prayers with water rationing in space and preparing food according to Islamic standards will be among issues discussed.
The astronaut will also visit the International Space Station, which circles the earth 16 times in 24 hours, so another thorny question is how to pray five times a day as required by Islam. Muslims also have to turn towards Mecca to pray and working out which direction that will be while hovering above the earth might be challenging.

According to Pink Tentacle and NS Technology Blog, Robo-One which organises a remote-controlled robot combat event held in Tokyo every year plans to launch in space a mini-satellite carrying small humanoid robots in October 2010.
Tokyo will have 10-minute windows of communication with the satellite 4 times per day as it passes overhead. Battles will be conducted in the space surrounding the ROBO-ONE satellite during these 10-minute periods.
A 5-meter long safety line that connects each robot to the satellite will be outfitted with tension sensors that detect when the line is fully extended, determining that the robot is out of the ring.
Robot developers will have to consider new issues, such as how to deal with the strains of operating in a vacuum under extreme temperatures and high levels of radiation.
ROBO-ONE's long-term plan is to hold competitions on the surface of the moon, which might not be possible until at least 2030.
Less fun but very Japanese:
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency plans to use robots to explore the moon and planets in the solar system. The robots will be able to operate exploration vehicles and make decisions on their own to build a base on the moon. The exploration vehicles will be sent to the moon within 10 years, and the base completed within 20 years.

Hang on to your neurons…Theoretical Physicist, Nassim Haramein takes us on a ride into black holes manifesting within us, how synchronicity works from a scientific perspective and the imminence of tapping into the Zero Point Field energy to transform our world from one end to the other.
As early as 9 years old, Nassim was already developing the basis for a unified hyperdimensional theory of matter and energy, which he eventually called the "Holofractographic Universe."
Nassim has spent most of his life researching the fundamental geometry of hyperspace, studying a variety of fields from theoretical physics, cosmology, quantum mechanics, biology and chemistry to anthropology and ancient civilizations. Combining this knowledge with a keen observation of the behavior of nature, he discovered a specific geometric array that he found to be fundamental to creation, and the foundation for his Unified Field Theory emerged.
This unification theory, known as the Haramein-Rauscher metric (a new solution to Einstein's Field Equations that incorporates torque and Coriolis effects) and his most recent paper The Schwarzschild Proton, lays down the foundation of what could be a fundamental change in our current understandings of physics and consciousness. This groundbreaking theory has now been delivered to the scientific community through peer-reviewed papers and presentations at international physics conferences. Further, The Schwarzschild Proton paper has recently received the prestigious "Best Paper Award" in the field of physics, quantum mechanics, relativity, field theory, and gravitation at the University of Liège, Belgium during the 9th International Conference CASYS'09.

ACA members meet with Representative Steve Womak (R-AR) during ACA's 2013 Institute for Leadership Training "Day on the Hill."
Counseling leaders from around the country visited Capitol Hill on Thursday, July 25, where they lobbied for important legislation.
Participants were dropped off in front of the Capitol building where they posed for a photo on the Capitol's historic steps before heading off to meetings with members of Congress. The first stops were the Russell, Dirksen, and Hart Senate Office Buildings, where participants had in-person meetings with their respective senators. After that, the group made its way to the Cannon, Longworth, and Rayburn House Office Buildings to meet with representatives.
During these face-to-face meetings with members of Congress and their staff, Day on the Hill participants discussed three specific policy initiatives (as well as an existing piece of legislation) that would benefit both professional counselors and Americans with mental health needs:

Will The Australian Basins Drive The Next Shale Oil And Gas Boom?
Nathan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The advances in the technology for hydraulic fracturing has arguably helped a spectacular rise of shale oil and gas production in North America. After this indisputable oil and gas boom, Australia is poised to commercialize its holdings too. Will Australia replicate North America's success? Will the shale oil and gas production rise in Australia as much as the largest of the kangaroo species, the Red Kangaroo, has been observed jumping?
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Australia's regions have significant oil and gas potential. In shale oil, the Canning Basin in Western Australia and the Georgina and Amadeus basins in Queensland and the Northern Territory are seen as having oil potential, while the Cooper Basin is seen as the best shale gas target.
Assuming EIA is correct, the thing is which publicly traded North American companies are going to benefit from this huge opportunity. Let's be an early mover then, providing the investors valuable information about all the deals that the US-listed energy companies have completed in Australia so far. These deals are scattered here and there and the summary below will definitely help.
Australia Is Getting Hot
The latest news come from Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) that pays as much as $349 million to join Beach Energy in an Australian natural gas exploration campaign. This is Chevron's first shale investment in Australia. Chevron will acquire as much as 60% of a permit in South Australia and 36% of a block in Queensland. The blocks cover about 810,000 acres in the Cooper Basin. The Cooper Basin is considered to be one of Australia's best prospects for commercially producing shale gas given its proximity to the country's eastern population centers and export infrastructure at the port of Gladstone.
Few days ago, ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) and PetroChina (NYSE: PTR) also teamed up for unconventional natural gas exploration in Australia as PetroChina recognizes the significant resource potential and value of the Australian opportunities. PetroChina will acquire from ConocoPhillips a 20% WI in the Poseidon offshore discovery in the Browse Basin, and a 29% WI in the Goldwyer Shale in the onshore Canning Basin. The Goldwyer Shale runs along the northern edge of Great Sandy Desert and stretches across 45,000 sq km of the onshore basin. ConocoPhillips earned a 75% WI from New Standard Energy in July 2011 in exchange for $A113.5 million. According to an April 2011 report by EIA, the Goldwyer Shale contained 764 tcf of risked gas in place and 229 tcf of risked recoverable gas, the largest estimate for any basin in Australia.
Heritage Oil added few weeks ago on its stake in PetroFrontier Corporation, a Canadian company that holds both conventional and unconventional petroleum assets in Australia's Southern Georgina Basin. PetroFrontier has an approximate 85.5% WI in 14.1 million gross acres and it is one of the first companies to undertake exploration in the Southern Georgina Basin in Australia's Northern Territory. Heritage acquired 1,800,000 common shares of PetroFrontier representing 2.27% of the outstanding Shares. Together with shares already held, Heritage now holds 13,960,467 shares, representing approximately 17.58% of the outstanding Shares of PetroFrontier. Heritage is a Toronto-listed company with producing assets in Nigeria and Russia and exploration assets in Malta, Tanzania, Pakistan and Libya.
Give Me More Shale Deals
As output from aging fields off Norway's coast declines, Statoil (NYSE: STO) is another major player who is expanding internationally and into so-called unconventional resources. In June 2012, Statoil acquired 65% of PetroFrontier's interests in four existing exploration blocks, plus two pending permits in the Southern Georgina Basin, Northern Territory, Australia. The venture may drill as many as 20 wells by 2017 in three phases.
Hess Corporation (NYSE: HES) made a JV agreement with Falcon Oil & Gas that covers significant seismic costs and an option to drill five wells. Falcon holds 100% interest in four exploration permits covering 7 million acres in the Beetaloo Basin of the Northern Territory, Australia. As of August 2012, Hess has deployed two seismic crews in central Australia's Beetaloo basin and has increased its planned capital expenditure to $57.5 million from $40 million. Hess shot 470 line-km of 2D seismic in 2011. In 2012, Hess also completed the acquisition of seismic data on Exploration Permits 76, 98, and 117 held by Falcon. Following completion of the seismic program, Hess may elect to drill and evaluate five wells to earn a 62.5% WI in the licence area covered by the three permits but excluding the 100,000 acres around the Shenandoah well. Hess has until the 30th June 2013 to make this election.
Rodinia Oil is another Canadian company that holds onshore petroleum and natural gas assets in Australia's Officer Basin. According to the company, the Officer basin is geologically analogous to the vast producing fields in Siberia and Oman that are of equivalent Neoproterozoic age. According to the independent resource-evaluation firm, Ryder Scott Company Consultants Ltd., Rodinia's lands contain prospective (recoverable) un-risked, undiscovered resources totalling 125.7 billion barrels of oil. Rodinia drilled the Mulyawara-1 and Kutjara-1 wells in 2011 and encountered oil and gas shows and excellent Neoproterozoic reservoirs. Although these shows demonstrated an active mature petroleum system capable of generating hydrocarbons, both wells were plugged and abandoned as neither was perceived to be commercial. However, the company continues its efforts to find cash in order to keep drilling and prove its acreage.
Foolish Round Up
Although large-scale shale production in Australia may take time due to a lack of drilling equipment, higher labor and infrastructure costs, several global energy companies are trying to tap what Australia's government estimates is 400 tcf of potential shale gas resources. So it seems that the opportunities in Australia are tremendous and this could be the next big thing. It remains to be seen how the things will evolve in 2013 when the first rigs start drilling at the kangaroo continent.

UNDATED (WRN-WSAU) A young girl's nightmare has resulted in a bipartisan bill that would restrict where suspects in child sexual assault cases could live while they are awaiting trial.
Republican Tom Weatherston of Caledonia and Democrat Cory Mason of Racine are sponsoring "Isabella's Bill", named for the Racine girl allegedly assaulted by a neighbor. The suspect was allowed to return to his home next door on bail after being charged.
The bill would require suspects stay at least 250 feet away from the homes of their alleged victims, and could not live on an adjacent property. At a news conference on the steps of the Racine County Courthouse, Weatherston said he believes the bill will receive wide bipartisan support in the Legislature. A vote could come as early as June.

My colleague Joe Ptak has written a post linking homeschooling to the rise of cultural pluralism and the erosion of the civic culture, which he argues leads to a "culture of relativism." Once you start homeschooling, according to Joe, you threaten the stability of a society and open the door to "anarchic relativism." It's an innovative argument, associating the rise of homeschooling with cultural disorder and a lack of cultural unity. Unfortunately, it's also an argument that relies on several troubling assumptions, all of which Joe leaves wholly unstated.
Let me start out by admitting that there are a lot of points in Joe's argument that I'm unclear about. For one thing, a crucial part of his argument seems to be that homeschooling leads to having a "fractured civic ontology." Now, perhaps I am somehow out of the loop here (it wouldn't be the first time), but I cannot, for the life of me, understand what a "fractured civic ontology" looks like nor do I understand how it differs in practice from an "intact civic ontology." Joe does link to the Wikipedia entry for Ontology, yet somehow I doubt that Heideggarians and Cartesians coexisting together is the kind of cultural pluralism he's worried about.
It's also up to the reader to determine what Joe means when he talks about the importance of "civic culture": a phrase that I take, rightly or wrongly, to be an appeal to the civic republican tradition which emphasizes the importance of having a commonly-held set of social, political, and personal moral values. At the surface level, this might sound like a very conservative goal; in fact, Joe seems to be appealing to the sympathies of traditionalist conservative readers by using the republican (small-r) and largely conservative language of civic virtue and the need for some kind of cultural cohesion. For Joe, it seems that the real goal of educating children is not to make them educated, but to make sure that they are inculcated with the correct civic views. Of course, from a conservative perspective, the value of such civic education depends entirely upon which views are being transmitted.
What Joe doesn't make explicit is that he implicitly considers the educational system a better source for civic virtue than he does parents. The desire to instill virtue, public as well as private, in their children is undeniably one of the major reasons parents choose to educate their children at home. Joe recognizes this, but sees home-instilled values as a "recipe for extremism" because the children will not encounter views that contradict the parents' own.
However, if Joe is really concerned about the pervasive effects of "relativism," this should be a good thing, shouldn't it? Joe seems to feel that a plurality of viewpoints within a society is "insidious" while a plurality of viewpoints within the homes of (typically conservative) families prevents extremism. If opposing views can help combat extremism at the family level, then why not extend this principle to the whole society? Alternately, if a plurality of viewpoints inevitably leads to moral relativism, then why would we want to thrust the children of conservative families into moral confusion? There is an obvious double standard here, and one begins to wonder if Joe's problem with homeschooling is not so much that it allows for a plurality of views, but that it allows for the propagation of what he considers to be the wrong view.
Secondly, Joe suggests that having a "fractured civic ontology" totally precludes us from teaching moral values to our children, but it is wholly unclear why this should be the case. Once again, Joe seems to attribute the transmission of moral and civic principles to the society writ-large (or at least to the education system writ-large) instead of placing responsibility for the moral upkeep of the young where it has been for millennia: in the hands of the church and the family. Standing contrary to this tradition, Joe seems to see such localized, bottom-up propagation of moral principles as "anarchistic" and opts to side with centralized, uniform, top-down transmission of moral principles flowing from the society directly to school children, with as little interference from the family as possible. This is certainly a way to combat pluralism in society, although the accompanying loss of liberty and local particularity make it hard to believe that any theoretical benefits outweigh the definite costs.
The problems of moral relativism and a lack of social cohesion in society that Joe refers to are serious issues that deserve serious consideration. In bringing attention to these issues, Joe does conservative readers a great service. An honest examination of these issues, however, shows the nation's public school system to be a large part of the reason that they are a major issue. And while Joe allows for parochial schools, his total dismissal of homeschooling seems unwarranted.
Far from being anarchistic and undermining of the culture, homeschooling has been one of the major ways that concerned, traditionally-minded families have responded to the moral relativism that pervades the contemporary American educational scene. If, from an academic perspective, the entire K-12 educational industry in this country seems more interested in producing a certain type of citizen than classically educated individuals, and if that type of citizen seems engineered to radically alter traditional American society, then wouldn't choosing an alternative education for your child (either parochial schools or homeschooling) be a defense of the civic culture?
Homeschooling- whether for religious, educational, or philosophical reasons- has quickly become one of the most dramatic and effective rejections against contemporary American culture. In an age of increasing uniformity and decreasing local particularity, homeschooling provides the ultimate expression of decentralized control and local values. It would be a shame for conservatives to write it off due to fears that homeschooled students might turn out "different" than their public-and-private schooled peers.

Condo woes
I own a condo that was built in 1973. Due to a surgical error part of my spinal cord was damaged so in 2010 my income dropped by 35%. The condo is all on one floor, after climbing 16 steps. I was trying to get it ready to sell before the surgery, but now am unable to do so on my own, or budget.
The biggest problem is the stair well wall, which is 18 feet high. It continues to crack width wise from the top step to the bottom wall.
Is it a condo or townhome? If it is a condo the problem should be addressed by your HOA.
It will have to be fixed - by someone. The alternative is sell it as is. It is a known defect and you will have to declare it.
Fun and Info
A picture would help, but really you need someone on site to evaluate it. If the crack is in a public space it isn't your issue to repair. If it is within your walls the repair may be your responsibility.
General Disclaimer
Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.
My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Get a contractor for a professional opinion and the estimate should not cost you.
It is a condo and since it is on the inside wall, it would be my responsibility. Outside issues have contributed, I'm sure. I have owned the condo for 15 years. The carpet from the long wall was damp out about 8" then. No water source along the wall. The HOA replaced the siding with T111 that had sat out from October to April, on the ground and uncovered. Within 6 months, the carpet soak had expanded to 10 feet from the wall and I had carpenter ants everywhere.
Long story short, siding, and headers around all 4 garage doors were water soaked and eaten away.The last "repair" was another siding, above the garage doors and the carpet replaced. Not one installer was professional and sledge hammers and crowbars were used and not once was the under wood sheeting were ever replaced.
Sorry for the yapping. These buildings were prefabs and have been sinking a lot, so the original wall I asked about is also bowing in.
Thank you so much for your answer.
Thank you for your advice. 3 years ago I had a contractor in and the estimate was $8000.00 Way out of touch for me.
Whoa- Is the stairwell inside of your condo or common hall area? If common hall area not your responsibility, I don't think.
Have you tried one of the HGTV shows..that's a chance. Certainly the need. Another idea is to call Red Cross,, and your local agencies. I think if it were me. You could write a letter, have it copied and just mail it out to every agency you could find including all gov't agencies. Another idea is to call code enforcement..they would find out real quick who's responsibility it is...and if yours can help get help.
Another idea is to write a letter to small local contractors..same idea.
Yes, many people like to do a good deed for someone in need and in this case, you are in need.
Here's another idea -- Local adult education has building classes.. auto classes they could take it on as a project. They would secure the proper permit, so forth...completely surpervised. Worth a shot.
If you want to PM me, I will try to help further.This message has been edited. Last edited by: real estate lady,
Here's another possible solution,, however not sure if you are a senior or not... but most towns cities have senior services..I would call them.
Keep it short explaining your health problem and
the risk of the stairs problem.
Ragarding HGTV help, what meanies.. your association is... not to allow someone to help you like HGTV. Why don't you call your local news..we her have Channel 8 on your side...who help solve problems. Remember on the phone be
to the point.
Regarding surgical error..hope you got compensation for that error. Did you apply for SS disability?This message has been edited. Last edited by: real estate lady,
REL- re surgical error. Sometimes surgery doesn't go as predicted- doesn't necessarily mean surgical error or liability on part of surgeon. Don't really know the real story here.
yes, unfortunately it was according to his PM's to me, however was able to get disability.
So sorry for all your physical and condo issues; I'll keep you in my t/p's....
Thank you. Have a blessed day.
how old is your condo - did you get a contractors warranty..or was it a resale when you bought.
Also there are agencies in your city for disabled...and certainly can look into defective stairs.This message has been edited. Last edited by: real estate lady,
Per the OP -- it was built in 1973 and the OP has owned it for 15 years.
From further posts by the OP it sounds like the whole place is sliding into disrepair. I would not spend that kind of money on repairs and get as much as I could from a cash sale to an investor. But - DISCLOSURE of all known defects!
Fun and Info
Thank you for your input. The entire place is not in total disrepair. My main question was about the stairwell wall.
In the past year, with the help of our county agency, I have had a new furnace, new water heater, attic insulation update to R19, since the garages below the condo are unheated, they also insulated the ceilings. On my own I have a new garage door opener and 3 year old double pane replacement windows. The outside repairs, which are the HOA's responsibility, have included insulated replacement siding on the garage end wall only, and replacement of damaged siding on the back outside wall, due to golf ball damage. Also, all of the headers and frames around the garage doors were replaced in 2009. I of course would explain this to a real estate agent and provide what documentation necessary.
Things like painting walls are difficult due to physical limitations, but up until 3 years were done every 2 years. The rest is cosmetic: new flooring,update tub surround and vanity, and new counters in the kitchen. Up until 3 years ago this home got a thorough deep cleaning every fall.
I so appreciate all input I have gotten, contacted local agencies, and as for help with painting and the one wall repair, have not been able to find help. My son and I have been painting on and off for the past 3 weeks, as our disabilities allow. I do have an agent who will come and give an opinion when I get the painting done, and all the clutter put in storage, and get the carpet clean.
Sounds like you are on the right path. One other thing...if the neglect of outside repairs caused inside damage the HOA should foot the bill.
I totally agree, but the HOA has stated that I have no proof the multiple people they had do the work, since 2000 had any part in the inside damage. I was home during most of the outside work, and do not have before/after pictures of the damaged areas. Since none of the "repairmen" were licensed contractors, or even experienced repairmen, and were not insured, I have no way of falling back on them. Since our HOA has gone from self-managed to managed 5 times since 1998, missing records are what I'm told I cannot have. I have a report from an EPA home inspector, 2011, stating all the outside work that needed done, but was not, I would have to get an attorney to sort this all out. If I cannot get complete records from the board of the HOA, I'm just trying to do what I can, and will reveal what I need to when I speak to the agent. Thanks for your response.
Our Tampa Board of Realtors ,locally, has a "Paint Your Heart Out" DAY... Realtors who volunteer and dedicated to those homeowners not able to paint their homes themselves. Call your local Board of Realtors..and asked if they have such a program and could you apply.This message has been edited. Last edited by: real estate lady,

These Thanksgiving Couplet poems are examples of Couplet poems about Thanksgiving. These are the best examples of Thanksgiving Couplet poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
I thought I would just say
Have a Happy Thanksgiving Day!
For all of You Souper people are
In my estimation, the ones who care.
It is wonderful to have your comments, too
When I write something here for all of you.
The joy of reading your works and words
Goes well beyond the things I've heard.
And in the short time that I have around you
Friendships through words abound, too.
I say that you are the cheeriest bunch
With whom I have never sat down to lunch.
But I'll say a prayer of thanksgiving for all
And hope that the Lord hears my call.
For tomorrow when we remember the good things in life
I'll count all of you in, with a thought none too brief.
With you I feel like I am a true part,
So, I say "Thank You All, from the bottom of my heart".
The day after Thanksgiving I didn't have to work
So, I decided to do something which was kind of a quirk.
I thought I would do some early shopping
For those Christmas gifts that would be eye popping.
As I started my car to begin my store raid
Something went amiss to stop my escapade.
I opened the hood to find the problem there
When I saw it, it really gave me a scare.
Our neighbor's black cat had crawled onto the engine block
Feeling the warmth, but not taking stock.
When I turned the key to give it a start
The cat shrieked as its tail was nearly cut apart.
Oh, it wasn't intentional that I hurt that poor pet
But you've never seen anything like it I'll bet.
When I heard the noise and the hissing you see,
I thought one of the hoses had broken...leaking fluently.
But it was the cat that was hissing when I raised the hood
All he could think of was to jump for where I stood.
With claws all out and teeth set to bite
Him coming at me was quite the site.
Fortunately he missed me with his outstretched paws,
Or I would have been really attached to those razor like claws.
When he hit the ground he ran away
Scared the crap out of me...that's all I'll say.
So I had to collect myself before I could go anywhere
Went back to the house and just stood shaking there.
Of course, I had to have a pop or two
To settle my nerves before I started anew.
Before I knew it, I was asleep in a chair
I never attempted to go anywhere.
All because a black cat wanted to keep warm
In the end, I was thankful I did so little harm.
"Black Friday" would have cost me a heck of a lot more
Had it not been for that cat's dozing for sure.
So, now whenever I go to the store
I buy some cat food, for that kitty next door.
He still remembers my opening that hood
I still remember him trying to claw me where I stood.
But we've come to an understanding that cat and me
And I tap the car before starting it to let him see.
As it is now...he stays out of my way,
Except when I feed him, for all the money he saved me on "Black Friday".
May tranquility reign and grace your Thanksgiving board this year,
As you thank the Good Lord for all the blessings you hold dear!
I pray that it will be a time of good cheer and not a free-for-all,
As in the dysfunctional family described below, ending in a brawl!
Grandpa said grace that rambled on interminably while stomachs growl.
Grandma had heard enough of that and poked him with a warning scowl!
Pompous Uncle Blimp boasted about the democrats winning the election,
While saner heads steered the conversation in a more innocuous direction!
Ne'er-do-well Cousin Cletus who was recently released from prison,
Wailed about being falsely imprisoned saying the cannabis wasn't his'n!
Aunt Louise complained that she didn't get the turkey gizzard as was her due!
Dad was happily sozzled having consumed too much of his homemade brew!
Little Marvin slopped gravy on grandma's prized heirloom tablecloth!
Nana screeched about controlling your brats - she was most visibly wroth!
The kid howled and mommy hugged him saying, "It was not your fault!"
In the aftermath, little was said except an occasional, "Pass the salt!"
Elbows flew and the hapless turkey's carcass was stripped clean and bare!
Grandpa removed his teeth to take a snooze, fed up with the whole affair!

Talk turkey; talk turkey
It's Thanksgiving day.
Fill up your mouths
the Thanksgiving way.
Gobble down; gobble down
meat and red berries.
Some adding gravy
for flavour that varies.
White mashed potatoes
hollowed in boats.
Filled with yellow butter
that warms 'till it floats.
Turnip and parsnip
mixed in together.
Tangy mild flavour
that lasts forever.
Green tiny peas
piled on the side;
covered in butter
in tears they have cried.
All for the price of a prayer
to say thanks
and gathering our friends
in a place that is nice.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Lord for all that is with me
Forever I will praise and adore thee
The miracle of each breath I take with each day
Never taken for granted, thank you I pray
My being is in your hands, you have a plan
Created by you, I live at your command
Along the path you have prepared for me
Thank you for holding my hand and being the key

November 21, 2012 "Happy Thanksgiving Everyone"
Lord in answer of prayer
Child of mine. I must admit I don't hear from you very often,
Your brother though is quite devout, to him your heart should soften.
He say's he works hard to me - but that you will blame him.
For anything you don't do, and you will try to shame him.
Your brother, put in a plea for you, and not for a new bike.
You had better try harder, boy before I give you what you like.
I even hear from your teacher, he's his own wits end,
He prayed for the cane to come back, so your ways you better mend.
Your mother tries so very hard it's not her cooking at fault,
Its you and your picky ways, so they had better halt.
Your mother works hard and has little time to bake you pumpkin pie,
You're lucky boy to have gravy, never mind the turkey dry.
Your granddad needs a rest, don't be a pest, he's getting on you know.
As for grandma she puts up with all of you, so let the wines flow.
Your big sister, her father has already requested the boyfriends' disappearance.
I'm working on that and everything else, so just give me a chance.
The neighbour's - well they have not said, anything about you.
They just prayed that your family would go out, and then come back without you.
So listen boy the lord has spoken, and you better hear me well.
Cos come next thanksgiving year, You may hear from him below.
Thank you dear God for simple zest;
Thank you dear Lord for choice and quest.
Thank you for play, for easy smiles;
For light of day, for cheery style.
Thank you for jest, for wit that swirls;
For lovely fest, for dance and twirl.
Thank you for words, for lines and rhymes;
For art that's heard, for verse and chimes.
Thank you for voice, for heart that feels;
For faith and poise, for touch that heals.
Thank you for fate, for certain charm;
For healthy plate, for peaceful psalm.
Thank you for friends, for kin and kind;
For happy trends, for peace of mind.
Thank you for joy, for thoughts that spring;
For sense to toy, for sensuous flings.
Thank you dear God for earthly ways;
Thank you dear Lord for ample stay.

I Am So Thankful
By Rick Rucker
I am so Thankful for this Life,
Though there has been some Pain and Strife,
It has been the greatest Gift,
The memories do always lift,
Me, when I feel a little Down,
Cheer me up, like a clown.
But the most Blessed thing I see,
Our time Together, You, and Me!
If that were all I had,
I would be ever happy, never Sad!
In our brief Time together,
You have helped me to weather,
Some pretty turbulent Seas,
And you do it with relative Ease!
All it takes is your Magic Touch,
Our private time I love so much.
I feel so blessed for the Love I have found,
Which will warm me, all year 'round,
To You, I would like to say,
I don't need to wait for Thanksgiving Day!
Twas Thanksgiving and I was starving
So all the turkey we started carving
And when it was finally open wide
We looked to see what was inside
It was a message from my son
Who said after Thanksgiving is done
I'm not there and hope you understand
Have been far away for year in Afghanistan
You're lucky at home now get to stay
While I am full of sorrow so far away
And each time that turkey you do see
Be sure to remember the death of me.
The shadows of doubt were following me since my life's dawn
Overcastting my thoughts as not to find the place that I belong
But Thou, my Lord, have shown me Thy everlasting celestial way:
Unconditionally to love every being of your creation to this day
For that my heart everlastingly Thy glory would thankfully sing
Continuously working the desired peace on this planet to bring

Ring of Honor World TV Champion and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Campion Adam Cole joined Kayfabe Wrestling Radio Tuesday Night. In a nearly 30 minute interview, he talked about his victory at Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's "Battle of Los Angeles", facing Kevin Steen and beating him for the PWG World Title, the environment around Joey Ryan's last PWG match, the confrontation with Matt Hardy at "Death before Dishonor X" and their upcoming match, his thought on former "Future Shock" tag team partner Kyle O'Reilly and his recent actions, the history of his feud with Sami Callihan in Combat Zone Wrestling, his thoughts on the "Cage of Death" match and if he ever wants to step into that match, if he feel that CZW can expand to the levels of TNA and ROH and get itself a TV Deal, what his biggest accomplishment for the year has been and more.
Facing and defeating Kevin Steen for the PWG World Championship
: "It's funny, I think the match up, last minute, which was made into a "Guerrilla Warfare" match, which means there's no rules whatsoever; weapons are into the mix as well. So the interesting part about that is although many people look at that and say 'Oh, that really benefits Kevin Steen', the reality is that it's such an unpredictable situation, where I can take advantage of something; he can obviously take advantage of something and I think that's exactly what happened. You know, the match was very barbaric; I'm not going to spoil anything for the ones who want to check it out on DVD as far as what actually happened, but it was one of the most brutal matches I've been in in my entire life. So, I feel like I definitely earned my keep that night as far as being able to walk away as PWG World Champion, because it was an absolute war. So I think the unpredictability had a lot to do with that and Kevin Steen is an animal; he's a savage. So, he was right in his environment but I think even though I hadn't been tested too much in those situations, I think when I am put in those situations, I've proven I can hang and obviously that was the case this past weekend."
The scene after Joey Ryan's last PWG Match this past weekend
: "It was a sad moment, man. You know, Joey not only has given so much to specifically PWG, but he's a staple on the independent wrestling scene and he's been for so long. Specifically in PWG, you know, that's his home; that's where he's made his name and was and always will be such a big part of that company. The draw that night was unbelievable, you know, the amount of people that were there and I think all credit can be given to Joey Ryan. A lot of the fans wanted to go and wanted to say goodbye; Joey wanted to say goodbye as well and the match was fantastic. And yeah, it's cool to see one of us move on to a bigger stage and I know he'll do everyone proud. I know the fans feel that way and I know the wrestlers feel that way also so ever though it was a sad moment, it was really cool to be a part of it."
Talking about Matt Hardy and his comments towards Cole after "Death Before Dishonor X"
: "It's a tough situation. I think, mainly, what was going on in my mind was kind of what was shown on my face that night in Chicago, which was shock. You know, Matt Hardy, even though based on the comments that he said, and I still feel that way; He's a guy I really respect. All of the stuff he said about what how much he's given to pro wrestling and about how people will always remember the name 'Hardy', that is very true. Matt has definitely given his fair share to professional wrestling and he'll be remembered forever; however, I feel this is certainly a case of him not trying to convince the wrestling fans, him not trying to convince me or the other guys in the Ring of Honor roster; he's still trying to convince himself that he's still just as good as he was then and he feels like that he wants to prove that against me. Based on the comments he had said, obviously I retaliated. I'm a very proud athlete, I'm proud to be in Ring of Honor and I'm proud to be the Ring of Honor Television Champion and I'm certainly not going to stand for something like that. So, the last thing that I am is a second-rate Matt Hardy. I'm the first Adam Cole and I'm going to show Matt Hardy exactly what I'm talking about when we go in and do battle in New York."
The history of the feud between himself and Sami Callihan in Combat Zone Wrestling
: "Well, actually, what had happened was me and Sami, when we both came into CZW at relatively at the same time, we were both labeled as future World Champions of the company. So our careers, even though we never met in the ring, were always on a very similar path whether it be in CZW or in other wrestling promotions. We both were kind of moving up the ladder at the same time, so there was always a comparison there and there was a competitive nature there as well until finally, at "Best of the Best 10" me and him met in the finals and I won, in the finals of the tournament. And, in turn, it created this rivalry that's just continued to go on and on and on. Sami was the guy; I was CZW Junior World Heavyweight Champion for 553 days; I was the longest reigning CZW Junior Heavyweight Champion there ever was; I defended the title all over the world and Sami was the guy that took that away from me. At the time, that was the most important thing to me, so obviously, I had a lot to say about that as well. And even though Sami and I have had battle after battle and match after match, there's still always that comparison of who really is the best. And what it's come down to (at CZW Cage of Death on iPPV), I've decided, because I issued the challenge out to Sami, that me and him face off in a match that I feel he excels the most, which is No Holds Barred. We've had wrestling match after wrestling match; it's been proved time and time again that it's 50-50. It's one of those times where I if go in there, maybe I'll win and if he goes in there, maybe he'll win. But this is just the ultimate test of two men going into the ring and fighting and seeing who is the absolute best. So, this match is everything to me and I know it's everything to Sami so this is definitely going to be the one that settles the score for us and I certainly intend of being the guy to walk away the winner."
The biggest accomplishment for his year
: "For me, it's got to be winning the Ring of Honor World TV Championship and, for me, the reason is, you know, Ring of Honor being the #3 company in the United States and being a company that I wanted to be a part of for so long; just for them to sit back and say we want to invest stock in you; we want you to be a guy we believe in; we want you to be a guy to help carry the company, is (pun-intended) a huge honor. So, for me to be given that opportunity and given that chance to have, hopefully, a very successful and memorable ROH World TV Title reign is awesome for me and it's definitely something that I'm very, very proud of and intend to keep for a long time."

Restaurant Review – Jack Patrick's
by emilybarlean
Let me tell you a little something about myself. I don't do many things "spontaneously." I am a teensy bit of a control freak… and so, "flying by the seat of my pants," is not usually my jam. Luckily, on the rare occasion, I allow such mayhem to enter my life, and usually this mayhem doesn't disappoint me. Yesterday was one of those days. The set plans for the evening involved going to Buffalo Wild Wings with my roommate Alissa […]

To apply bailout money to morgages
What would the effect be if the us government instead of giving a bailout directly to the banks were to give the banks a payment of some percentage of the mortgages held by the banks? Wouldn't that give the banks the same money while at the same time reducing the burden of debt on individual us mortgage holders? If this idea has any merit, could it be applied now by insisting that any bailout money not repaid to the Us Government be applied to all the mortgages held by the bank equally? Granted this might end up being a small percentage, but any percentage would improve the situation for individual debtors. If this idea has no merit please explain why, and if it is meritorious what can be done to advance the idea?

Jan 13 2013: Banks could do this now without the government providing the funds. But they choose not to.
However, they are ignoring people who are not making payments for their mortgages. They are free to change the mortgage rates if the people come in and apply for them. But they often choose not too.
The greatest problem with this issue is that so many people were given loans that did not qualify and the housing market was so inflated. More money was loaned out than was reasonable or realistic. Now, the banks are suffering, and people, for their poor decision making process in this.
I do not wish to be mean, but let them learn from it. The banks are surviving and so are people. It is not pretty, but they will not make the same mistake twice.

Software Porting and Tuning
Need to move your application to new hardware or software technology? Want your application to exploit the potential cost/performance benefits of GPUs or manycore coprocessors? Need a custom version of the NAG products for particular system?
The NAG Software Porting and Tuning Service can help you with all your porting needs.
NAG expertise and experience has been proven through four decades of developing and supporting high quality software products across a wide variety of systems, and through porting and tuning a range of user applications in our HPC services (e.g. the HECToR Support Service).
Your application running on new technology
Safely benefit from the advantages of new technologies for your applications by working with NAG's application migration service. NAG's expertise, proven processes and tools work with you to reliably port your applications in a maintainable fashion to new processors, systems or software technology with reduced risk. NAG understands the technical issues at the heart of reliably porting, tuning and verifying software. NAG is the trusted partner to enable your applications to safely benefit from new generations of hardware.
Custom editions of the NAG products
NAG has the infrastructure to port the NAG library and customer specific numerical routines to your architecture of choice. We have developed a range of tools for checking and improving numerical code to make the porting exercise and future maintenance more reliable. As well as CPU implementations appropriate NAG routines can be ported to GPU and coprocessor systems. We regularly tune our high-performance math library by request for specialist and custom computer systems.
Porting to GPUs and manycore processors
NAG can assess your code to identify the likely value of porting to GPU or manycore processors. Where performance or cost benefits are possible, NAG can port your code to GPUs or other manycore coprocessors using appropriate standards and languages – e.g. CUDA, OpenCL or OpenMP.
We can also advise on appropriate alternative algorithms that may be better suited to manycore/coprocessor/GPU processors.
