The People Strike Back
On Tuesday, during the oral arguments in McCutcheon v. FEC, in which the petioners asked the Supreme Court to strike down the overall, or aggregate, limits on what an individual can give to all candidates and parties in an election cycle, Justice Ginsberg said the following:
It has been argued that these limits promote expression, promote democratic participation, because what they require the candidate to do is, instead of concentrating fund-raising on the super-affluent, the candidate would then have to try to raise money more broadly in the electorate. So that by having these limits you are promoting democratic participation, then the little people will count some, and you won't have the super-affluent as the speakers that will control the elections.
As she posed this question to the litigators inside the Courtroom, the "little people," were out in force in front of the Court at a rally organized by U.S. PIRG and People for the American Way, holding signs of, "Democracy is Not for Sale" and "Stop Citizens United 2."

Citizens United: Part 2
Rally props Super PAC man and Ms. McCutcheon PAC vs. free speech and democracy.
There are some important distinctions between the limits that were argued over in McCutcheon versus those at stake four years ago in Citizens United v. FEC, the ruling that opened the floodgates on corporate spending in the elections and laid the groundwork for the creation of super PACs. Most importantly, at issue in McCutcheon are limits on contributions directly to candidates and parties whereas Citizens United dealt with "outside" spending, so-called uncoordinated independent expenditures. Holding that limits on campaign contributions are necessary to prevent corruption and the appearance of corruption, the Supreme Court has never struck down a federal contribution limit.
Regardless of that distinction, Citizens United opened the floodgates for a handful of wealthy donors and well-heeled interests to dominate election funding and, should the Justices rule for the plaintiffs, McCutcheon would be more of the same. In fact, if the Court strikes down the aggregate limits we will see campaigns that look more and more like super PACs – that is, the majority of their money will come from just a handful of individuals.

When a handful of large donors can account for such a large portion of the funds spent on an election, it minimizes the voice of most Americans who can only afford to chip in $20, $50, or $100 to support candidates and it makes candidates more dependent on those elite donors. The aggregate limit is already set so high that only a miniscule set of donors even bumps up against it, 1,219 in 2012, yet to lift it would significantly increase the clout of those few. In new research cited on the day of the arguments by the New York Times editorial board, U.S. PIRG and Demos projected that if the aggregate limit had not been in place in 2012, this set of 1,219 elite donors would have given about 150% of what all small donors gave to Obama and Romney combined.

All of this is made even more concerning when you consider that the type of spending that Citizens United affected only made up about 20% of the total pie in the record breaking $7 billion dollar 2012 election cycle. The other 80% remained under the limits at stake in McCutcheon, meaning that if the Court does toss aside precedent and for the first time strike down a federal contribution limit, the effect could be even more staggering.

Enough is Enough
On the day of oral arguments, when asked about the possible consequences of the McCutcheon case, President Obama said, "there aren't a lot of functioning democracies around the world that work this way."
This demonstrates recognition at the highest levels of what most Americans, the aforementioned "little people," have long recognized in our guts. As he put it, "the latest case would go even further than Citizens United…What it means is ordinary Americans are shut out of the process."
When addressing the crowd the at the rally on October 8th, I said that, beyond the differences in the types of limits at stake, the major difference between the oral arguments in Citizens United and the arguments on that day was all the people who were standing with us at the Court and across the country:
Citizens United and the resulting big money in the 2012 elections awoke a sleeping giant: the American public that knows when enough is enough.
Blair Bowie, U.S. PIRG, C-SPAN
In addition to many of the foremost campaign finance reform advocates, the rally featured a variety of leaders from across the issue spectrum and across the country.

(From left to right) top row: Marge Baker, Executive Vice President for Policy and Program, People for the American Way; Steve Cobble, Senior Political Advisor, Free Speech for People; Josh Silver, CEO, Represent.Us; middle row: Tara Malloy, Counsel, Campaign Legal Center; Nick Nyhart, President and CEO, Public Campaign; Rob Weissman, Executive Director, Public Citizen; bottom row: Mary Boyle, Vice President for Communications, Common Cause; Liz Kennedy, Counsel, Demos; Fred Wertheimer, President, Democracy 21. C-SPAN
The diversity of the speakers was a snapshot of the growing movement of Americans who have come to realize that when our voices are shut out of democracy, we lose ground on the protecting the people, places, and values that we care about most.
Craig L. Rice, Maryland State Director of the Young Elected Officials Network, pointed out that young, minority candidates for office often struggle because they lack access to the large donors that their opponents rely on to run a competitive campaign. A ruling allowing those large donors even more influence would be a blow to efforts to elect individuals more representative of their constituents. He said:
Money should not determine who serves in office. It is my hope that this nation will be one where candidates will not be judged by the amount of money in their campaign funds but by the content of their character.
Craig Rice, Young Elected Officials Network, C-SPAN
Matthew Segal, President of OurTime spoke on behalf of young people who have the most debt of any generation in history, pointing out that we do not have the funds to make campaign contributions on the scale of those who would benefit from a sweeping ruling in McCutcheon. Unsurprisingly, we often lack the access and influence to steer the conversation in Washington towards policies that would help alleviate this burden and protect our future:
We cannot be expected to sit around and wait while our interests are ignored.
Matthew Segal, OurTime, C-SPAN
Tom Blackton, an 81 year old retired school teacher from Bath, Pennsylvania and leader with Center for Community Change, told a similar story from another generation's perspective: as a senior citizen without the ability to make large campaign contributions, he is frustrated and feels his voice is not being heard when legislators advocate balancing the budget by cutting the social security which he has paid into for over sixty years:
I am here like many others to express my deepest concerns about the impact that the McCutcheon case could have on our democracy. What we seniors need is justice.
Tom Blackton, Retiree, Center for Community Change C-SPAN
David Borris, a small business owner from Northbrook, Illinois and an executive committee member at the Main Street Alliance, spoke about how big money in politics benefits the narrow interests of large industries, but harms true small businesses, saying:
Small business owners believe in earning loyalty from customers, not in buying it from candidates.
David Borris, Owner of Hel's Kitchen in Northbrook, IL C-SPAN
Kica Matos, Director Immigrant Rights and Racial Justice at the Center for Community Change, powerfully spoke against the domination of big money in politics, saying:
The moral outrage of rampant deportations, of children going hungry, of massive and seemingly permanent unemployment in many communities in this, the richest country in the world, is made all the more outrageous when the institutions supposed to serve justice and the people only conspire to make them more invisible. Giving unlimited power to the richest and most privileged among us is morally repulsive. It is an affront to our values and it is deeply un-American. We should not stand for this. I'm here with my brothers and sisters today to say enough: it's time to take money out of politics and restore democracy.
Kica Matos, Center for Community Change C-SPAN
Courtney Hight director of the democracy program at the Sierra Club, Erich Picah, Executive Director of Friends of the Earth, and Phil Radford, Executive Director of Greenpeace USA, spoke on behalf of environmentalists everywhere. According to Radford:
We're here today because we need to send a clear message to the Supreme Court that we will not sit by while the dream of American democracy is torn up.
Phil Radford, Greenpeace Courtesy Ben Droz
Picah told the crowd:
Friends of democracy, friends of labor unions, friends of immigration reform, friends of people over money, friends of the earth, it's time we make good and tell Congress, tell the Supreme Court that our democracy is not for sale... We cannot pass carbon regulations that protect the planet without campaign finance rules.
Erich Picah, Friends of the Earth C-SPAN
And Hight explained:
It is not a coincidence that when the amount of money in our political system has gone up, so have the number of crises our country faces. That's because there are wealthy individuals, corporations, and special interests that benefit from dysfunction. When congress and our government don't work it means there isn't anyone to enforce the laws that protect us as workers, as citizens, and protect our water and our air from pollution.

Larry Cohen, the President of the Communications Workers of America, described the rising of this broad democracy movement:
We're tired of being on defense. It doesn't mean we won't stand up and fight back when we're under attack, but imagine if all these organizations were working together on offense. Well, we are. Our membership together is more than 20 million and the question for all of us is can we make democracy the second most important issue we work on.
Larry Cohen, Communication Workers of America, Courtesy Ben Droz
More from CWA on McCutcheon v. FEC.
Rev. Dr. William Barber II, President of the NAACP North Carolina and the leader of the Moral Monday movement said,
When we talk about what money can do in North Carolina, it's not theory. We know firsthand that when you undermine laws that guard against voter suppression and you undo regulations on the ability for corporations and individuals to spend unchecked amounts of money influence and infiltrate and literally infect the democratic process it has an extreme impact.
Rev. Dr. William Barber II, North Carolina NAACP, C-SPAN
Brendien Mitchell, a student at Howard University and fellow with YoungPeople4, powerfully and eloquently summarized the difference between the activism present outside the Court and the type of "activism" that Shaun McCutcheon claimed to be protecting inside the Court:
Where is the freedom of living in a government that is bought out by individuals who coin their corruptive spending donations as activism? Being an activist means that you understand that the true power of a political campaign rests with the people not with the dollar. As a college student I have not made any major donations to political campaigns but I am positive that I and many other students who traveled from DC to Ohio to get out the vote in 2012 did just as effective a job. While activism comes in many forms, it is not "activism" for an individual or a corporation to pour millions of dollars into the campaigns of politicians. Today we as young people gather to challenge any law or policy that undermines our ability to actively participate as citizens and we gather to say that this is our country and that in a case of money versus people the answer should be apparent: the people.
Brendien Mitchell, Student at Howard University, C-SPAN
"The People Will Not Be Shut Down"
Despite the on-going government shut down, four Congressional champions of campaign finance reform stopped by the rally to state their opposition to lifting the aggregate limits and encourage their colleagues to take action to get big money out of elections now. Rep. Jim McGovern (MA), Rep. Ted Deutch (FL), and Sen. Bernie Sanders (VT) have introduced joint resolutions to amend the Constitution that would overturn Citizens United and Buckley v. Valeo to clarify that money is not speech and corporations are not people. Rep. John Sarbanes (MD) has introduced legislation that would empower grassroots donors to make their voices heard and incentivize candidates to fundraise small contributions from their own constituents.
"Big money is calling the shots across the street [the Capitol] and that is in large part because of decisions being made in the decisions behind me [the Supreme Court]. We need Congress to get serious about campaign finance reform and take the big money out of the political system. We need the Supreme Court to understand that the people have the power in this country, not the corporations and millionaires and billionaires." – Representative Jim McGovern
Representative Jim McGovern, MA, C-SPAN
"The best thing that we can do to restore faith in American democracy, to ensure the agenda is set in Washington is set by the men and women who can vote in our elections, is to make sure, one, that the people who can donate to our campaigns are citizens not corporations and, two, to make sure that the power of a very small minority cannot trump the power of the American people to restore our democracy." – Representative Ted Deutch
Representative Ted Deutch, FL, Courtesy Ben Droz
"If we do not want to move this nation to a form of society where a handful of billionaires can determine the outcome of these elections, then it is imperative not only we overturn Citizens United, but we put a lid on how much people can contribute in elections. Freedom of speech, in my view, does not mean the freedom to buy the United States government." – Senator Bernie Sanders
Blair Bowie and Senator Bernie Sanders, VT, Courtesy Ben Droz
"Do we want a government where the voices of everyday Americans can't compete against the megaphones of the big donors? No we don't. We want a government where the voices of every day Americans are heard." – Representative John Sarbanes
Representative John Sarbanes, MD, Courtesy Ben Droz
These four champions eloquently laid out the case for campaign finance reform, and we know we need more elected officials following their lead by speaking up and taking action. That's why immediately following the rally representatives of U.S. PIRG, Public Citizen, People for the American Way, Common Cause, Public Campaign, and Demos held a lunchtime training for over 20 activists, then hit the marble halls of the Capitol to talk to as many Members of Congress and staff as we could.
The asks were straightforward and four-fold:
1. Support amendments to the constitution that will allow us to reinstate reasonable, democratic limits on money in elections that ensure all citizens, regardless of the size of their wallets, can make their voices heard in politics.
2. Support legislation that will raise up the voices of small donors: create a tax credit so that all Americans have money in their pockets to direct towards candidates and match small contributions with public funds.
3. Support legislation that creates some level of democratic accountability for corporations that spend money on elections by allowing shareholders to decide if and when their money is used to support political causes.
4. Create rules that require all funds spent on elections to be disclosed so that the public will know who is trying to influence our votes.
We spoke with twenty-one Congressional offices, including conversations with Rep. Lujan-Grisham (NM) and Rep. Duckworth (IL), two more powerful advocates for reform.
Regardless of what the Supreme Court does in the McCutcheon case, Congress and federal agencies, like the Securities and Exchange Commission, must act now to protect our democracy. And it's not just our federal government that can and should take action.
A Nationwide Outcry
Events on the day of oral arguments weren't limited to Capitol Hill: all across the country citizens stood up to say enough is enough and to push their state and federal elected officials to take action to correct the skewing of our democracy.
In Iowa, Iowa PIRG, Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, League of Women Voters, Sierra Club, Move to Amend, WILPF, Food & Water Watch, AFSCME Retired Workers and elected officials held an event outside the state house in Des Moines against lifting the aggregate limits and condemning the current course of campaign finance rulings at the Supreme Court.
The groups called on their state legislators to pass a resolution calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

In Wisconsin, WISPIRG, the Money Out, Voters In coalition, which represents over 30 local groups, and elected officials held a rally at the State Capitol in Madison. The groups urged the Supreme Court to uphold the aggregate limits and asked that their state officials pass a joint resolution that would put a question on the 2014 state-wide ballot asking whether or not Wisconsin should support a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and allow for limits on big money in elections. Speakers included Bruce Speight, director of WISPIRG; State Rep. Chris Taylor; Mike McCabe, executive director of WI Democracy Campaign ED; Dave Pauly, CEO of Capital Insurance Companies; Logan Quinsley of South Central WI Move to Amend; and Lisa Subeck executive director of United Wisconsin ED.

Colorado Common Cause's Elena Nunez and COPIRG's Danny Katz
In Colorado, COPIRG and Colorado Common Cause used the opportunity of the McCutcheon case to release a scorecard reminding their congressional delegation that the people of the state resoundingly passed a ballot initiative in 2012 calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. The groups released a statement saying:
Today the Supreme Court is considering a case that could INCREASE the amount of money special interests can pour in our elections by 5,744%. Last November, 74% of Coloradans approved Amendment 65 directing our members of Congress to pass a constitutional amendment to get big money out of politics, but so far only 3 of our members have taken action.
In New Jersey, NJPIRG, the Overturn Citizens United Coalition, local Citizens, and the New Jersey Chapter of the Sierra Club held a press conference at the state house to oppose lifting the aggregate limits and to encourage Congress to pass legislation to create a tax incentive for small donors to give to candidates.
"McCutcheon will supersize the influence of big out of state donors making government less responsive to New Jersey voters. One big reason that Americans' confidence in Congress is at a historic low is that they see their representatives are more responsive to big money donors than to regular voters," said NJPIRG's Peter Skopec.
New Jersey Sierra Club director Jeff Tittel says lifting the limits on campaign contributions could hurt the environment:
We believe we can never have clean air and clean water without clean government. We are concerned that the only thing green that's going to happen, whether it's in Washington or in the Statehouse, the only thing green about our elected officials will be the money they get from PACs and from SuperPACs.

In Oregon, OSPIRG worked to ensure that the public understands big money in politics as a non-partisan issue by publishing an op-ed with Knute Buehler, a Republican candidate for Secretary of State, and Carmen Kulp, the founder of the Columbia County Tea Party.
In Massachusetts, MassPIRG and Common Cause MA released a statement condemning lifting the aggregate limits. They followed up with a letter to the editor in the Worcester Telegram and Gazette.
The People v. Money
Back at the Supreme Court, Justice Roberts seemed to be looking for some middle ground between striking down all aggregate limits and letting them stand, perhaps by striking down only the aggregate limit on gifts to candidates.
Regardless of what the Court does in McCutcheon, we are already headed in the wrong direction if we want to preserve the voices of all people and promote political equality in our democracy. To turn the car around, we need Congress and the states to take up the solutions available and ultimately to overturn the Court's misguided jurisprudence in Citizens United and Buckley v. Valeo which allows special interests to dominate our elections.
At the end of the rally in D.C., Represent.Us organized a tug of war between money (individuals dressed in dollar bill suits) and the people. The Supreme Court may deal another blow to our democracy if it strikes down any contribution limits in McCutcheon, but as with the tug of war, if we keep working together and building our movement, ultimately, we know the little people will prevail.

Primary Health Care encompasses all of the Life Cycles and consists of five major components:
All of these components must be met to provide primary health care in the Nurse Managed Clinics (NMC), Rural Health Care/Training Centers (RHC/TC), Rural Health Clinics (RHC), Community Health Centers (CHC), and other types of health care.
A community health center is defined as consumer driven, providing primary health care services by state licensed professionals, which are also comprehensive in scope, coordinated within the community, acceptable, accessible, affordable, appropriate, and available. The Primary Care Office administers the State Community Health Center Operating Grant.

The Indiana State Office of Rural Health was established in 1992 and is located in the Primary Health Care Office. The State Office of Rural Health administers the State Rural Health Program, the Rural Hospital Flexibility Program (FLEX), and the Small Rural Hospital Improvement Grant Program (SHIP). Collaboration is critical to the State Office of Rural Health; we develop and strengthen partnerships and work collaboratively with statewide rural-focused organizations in order to meet program core functions.
Beginning in 2007, SORH strengthened its commitment to rural EMS. The Trauma Task Force, the Spinal Cord and Traumatic Brain Injury Research Board, and injury prevention fall under the SORH umbrella. SORH is also working on collaborative projects with Primary Care Office staff to leverage resources that will build community level networks among CAHs, federally qualified health centers, community health centers, rural health clinics, managed care organizations and local health departments.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Private equity investor Lone Star
The sale of one of the highest-profile German casualties of the financial crisis is likely to begin shortly, they said, as upcoming European bank health tests put pressure on Lone Star to find a financially robust home for the lender.
It is likely to spark the interest of banks hoping to expand business with medium-sized German companies. Potential suitors include BNP Paribas
"Lone Star has shown that it is ready to exit German banking assets now," said one person close to the sale.
Lone Star, IKB, Rothschild, Bank of America, BNP Paribas, Societe Generale, Santander and HSBC declined to comment.
U.S. investor Lone Star, which owns 91.5 percent of IKB, sold property lender Corealcredit
IKB was known before the financial crisis mainly as a lender to mid-sized German companies. It required several bailouts from development bank KfW
Following the rescues, IKB was taken over by KfW, which sold it to Lone Star in August 2008 for 137 million euros.
By late 2012, IKB had returned the last of the 12 billion euros in state guarantees it received from Germany's bank bailout fund Soffin during the crisis, and its Chief Executive Hans Joerg Schuettler said late last year that a restructuring of the lender was now largely complete.
IKB now has a market capitalization of 432 million euros, but the sources familiar with the sale said the current stock price was unlikely to be a good indication of how much a sale could be worth.
Potential buyers will be allowed to bid for individual parts of IKB, one of the sources said, adding that Lone Star aimed to conclude a deal this year.
IKB reported a profit of 8 million euros for the six-month period ending in September, compared with a 51 million-euro loss in the same period last year, mainly because of lower legal and consulting costs.
Bankers said a sale of IKB to a peer with a strong balance sheet may help the German lender pass European bank health checks that the European Central Bank and the European Banking Authority are running this year.
IKB is the smallest German bank deemed important enough to be supervised from November by the ECB rather than the national regulator. IKB said last year it could meet the ECB's demands, but it would not be easy.
Tested banks will need to have minimum Core Tier 1 equity capital of 8 percent of risk-weighted assets by the end of 2013, something IKB described as a "surprisingly harsh" requirement "that left banks little time to react".
IKB's balance sheet totaled 25.8 billion euros at the end of September, compared with 1.65 trillion euros at Deutsche Bank

Do all cultures (or societies) regard math equally?
Why is it that mathematics is considered to be of different value in different cultures?
Topics: Mathematics cultural values culture math maths value
Oct 11 2013: the basic knowledge of maths over the world is absolute ,but if we add the factor of culture like for example 1=3 in christianism or 1+1=1 in poesy ,we will conclude that the truth is relative and if we considering the relativity like maxim we can eagle-eyed from it that the relativity is absolute.
Simon K
Oct 10 2013: I doubt it. In a modern technological society driven by scientific innovation you most definitely require mathematics, often quite advanced mathematics. I don't necessarily mean advanced pure mathematics but rather advanced techniques to solve difficult problems of all kinds, especially in industry where the use of numerical simulations to artificially model a complex process is done a great deal. This saves money and also avoids having to do possibly dangerous experiments for example.
But in many cultures which don't rely on maths to such a degree only the basics of arithmetic are needed. For exampl, even in countries such as china or India most people are still poor people working the fields in the country or other jobs which have little to do with mathematics. These people may require say accounting skills when tallying up produce etc but nothing advanced. However, maths still plays a role and matters but not to the same degree.
In the few remaining native cultures where people still live a less industrial life e.g. the bushmen of Botswana or the pygmies of the Congo or some remaining amazon tribes the ability to count matters and to some degree a need to keep a tally matters.
Oct 10 2013: In China, parents put a heavy stress on math learning , they let their children learn Olympic math after class from a little age. Although it has changed that if you can get awards in Olympic math competitions, you can get extra points added to the score of the entrance exam to middle school,a lot of parents still consider math important for their children's future and keep them learning it..
Da Way
Oct 9 2013: Mathematics is the same all over the world, and the understanding of its basics is the same.
That is why 1 + 1 = 2 all over the world; this makes international trade and negotiations possible. A circle can not be called a pyramid, a cylinder can not be called a sphere. And so on.
Cultures may differ on the relevance and applications of the complex and seemingly less practical aspects. But basically, mathematics is a global language.

Rappers have always wanted to be athletes and since hip-hop's birth athletes have always wanted to be rappers. The competitive nature of each form of entertainment makes them perfect running mates. In 2012, we spoke with various mainstream rappers and producers to get their take on why the two blend so well together. Now, we introduce a two part series on the best and worst hip-hop records that house sports references. Unless, these lists are 1,000 miles long, someone is going to be upset. All ten of these songs could disappear and another list could replace them that would be just a legit. But as they stand, these are 10 of the best. The great thing about art is that it's always subjective. Click here to read/watch/listen to this feature The post 10 classic hip-hop and sports mergers appeared first on Players View.

text: Joan walks slowly over to Mrs. LandingGod, who gives Joan one of her sad, soulful looks over the top of her glasses. The music in this part of the scene is a song called "Can't Be Long," by The Enablers…founded by Barbara Hall. Joan has tears in her eyes as she says, "You should have been more specific." No response. Joan sighs. "You could have made me." Mrs. LandingGod says, "I can only point things out. Give you choices." Joan: "But what if I mess up again?" She squeezes her face up as the tears come. "I don't want to mess up again." Mrs. "Take A Chance On Me" LandingGod gestures for Joan to come to her, and Joan hugs her and cries as Mrs. LandingGod pats her back, and strokes her hair and shushes her gently. "Well I think I'll go / Down to the river / And let that water / Wash over me / Yes I think I'll go / Down to the river / And let that water / Wash over me / 'Cause it can't be long / You know it can't be long / Until my Lord / Remembers me…" The camera draws away slowly until the image is surrounded with black and the image keeps getting smaller and smaller and then it disappears in a tiny rectangular box in the middle of the screen. What's that about?

From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Secrets)
Secrecy (also called clandestinity or furtiveness) is the practice of hiding information from certain individuals or groups, perhaps while sharing it with other individuals. That which is kept hidden is known as the secret. Secrecy is often controversial, depending on the content of the secret, the group or people keeping the secret, and the motivation for secrecy. Secrecy by government entities is often decried as excessive or in promotion of poor operation; excessive revelation of information on individuals can conflict with virtues of privacy and confidentiality.
- A secret remains a secret until you make someone promise never to reveal it.
- Fausto Cercignani in: Brian Morris, Simply Transcribed. Quotations from Fausto Cercignani, 2013, p. 17.
- Three may keep a Secret, if two of them are dead.
- Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack (1735).
- If you would keep your secret from an enemy, tell it not to a friend.
- Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack (1741).
- If you have hitherto conceal'd this sight,
Let it be tenable in your silence still.
And whatsoever else shall hap to-night,
Give it an understanding, but no tongue.
- William Shakespeare, Hamlet (1600-02), Act I, scene 2, line 249.
- But that I am forbid,
To tell the secrets of my prison-house,
I could a tale unfold whose lightest word
Would harrow up thy soul.
- William Shakespeare, Hamlet (1600-02), Act I, scene 5, line 13.
- Two may keep counsel, putting one away.
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet (1597), Act II, scene 4, line 209.
- Two may keep counsel when the third's away.

- As given in Burmann's Anthologia, Book V. 217. (1778). Sub rosa. Under the rose (i.e., secretly). The rose was emblematic of secrecy with the ancients. Cupid bribed Harpocrates, god of silence, with a rose, not to divulge the amours of Venus. Hence a host hung a rose over his tables that his guests might know that under it words spoken were to remain secret. Harpocrates is Horus, god of the rising sun.

Okay I've been hearing a lot of talk about the big 3 that could be in N.Y. I just want to make a point. "mike d'antonio" In Phoenix he had Amare with Nash and a very talented team around them what did that get them? score a lot, lose in the playoffs. why would the Knicks be any different? Nash is just as good as Paul is, only older. and if they sign Carmelo and CP3 all they are going to be able to put around them are aging veterns and sub par bench players. For that reason I'm not worried about that happening, I would rather Carmelo go to the knicks rather than stay here in our division.

The above is taken from the Manchester Evening News' report on City's 2-2 home draw with Sunderland last night.
Plenty of sticks are available with which to beat City for a shonky draw that ends their title bid, but we're not quite sure falsely representing a possession graphic is one of them.
What's A Few Thousand Between Friends?
On Wednesday, Neil Ashton wrote a piece in the Daily Mail highlighting the lunacy of youth players in the Premier League being paid huge salaries, often with little to no hope of making the grade. It's a viable and oft-used tactic on the part of larger clubs, but we can see the argument that it can't be particularly good for the game to have young foreign imports stockpiled in the hope that one proves themselves to be a Next Big Thing.
The prime example used by Ashton was Chelsea's Andreas Christensen, an 18-year-old Danish defender that arrived at Stamford Bridge from Brondby in 2012.
'Meet Andreas Christensen, the 18-Year-Old Chelsea defender who is on £1million a year but has never played for the first team,' Ashton begins.
'Andreas Christensen, described as a 'gazelle' by pretty much anyone who has ever watched him play, turned 18 on April 10. He earns £20,000 a week and has not made a first team appearance. Something, somewhere, is going wrong when youth team players are walking around with that kind of money.'
Later that day, however, and the father of Christensen himself had made public his feelings on Ashton's story.
"It is completely out of proportion what the Daily Mail has written about Andreas' salary," Sten Christensen was quoted as saying.
"It is tasteless and very far from reality. I naturally cannot say what Andreas earns, but it is completely ridiculous to bring that kind of sum in play when it is very far from reality."
Which is presumably why the beginning of the story on the Daily Mail website this morning reads more like this:
'Andreas Christensen, described as a 'gazelle' by pretty much anyone who has ever watched him play, turned 18 on April 10. Sportsmail sources report he earns £20,000 a week - although the club refute that - and he has yet to make a first team appearance. Whatever the exact sum of money in his pocket, he is carrying a lot of change for a youth team player a long way from the first team.'
It's the 'whatever the exact sum of money' line that makes Mediawatch laugh/cry most because, well, it really does matter when you used it as the big sell for your story, which was tweeted out as 'On £20,000 a week...and he plays for Chelsea's youth team.'
Write the piece, guess a figure, get it wrong, change the piece, say the figure doesn't matter. Textbook.
Hook, Line And Sinker
Manchester United fans (and indeed the national media) are so eager to welcome a major new signing to Old Trafford that they will do almost anything to make their dreams come true. Including, it appears, run with fake quotes.
The Daily Mirror, Daily Star, Daily Express and Manchester Evening News this morning all ran quotes from Mario Gotze, former team-mate of Marco Reus and Borussia Dortmund, in which he claimed that Reus wished to join United. Those newspaper stories were then picked up by Sky Sports, amongst others, meaning that they made their merry way onto some of the finest football websites in the land. Ahem.
However, it appears that everyone has been caught hook, line and sinker.
The first mention of the quotes seem to be from a Manchester United fan site with little to no reason for any inside information. Their tweet from 10.12pm on April 14th reads as follows: 'Mario Gotze asked about transfer gossip "When I was at Borussia Marco [Reus] wanted a move to Man Utd, he hasn't changed" - [Munchen Lokal]'.
Given that there is no German newspaper called Munchen Lokal, that throws a rather large Schlüssel into the works.
And we thought the 'Adam Lallana to Dortmund' was a successful made-up rumour.
Man Goes Outside
Hot on the heels of their scoop on Monday that Manuel Pellegrini took money out from a cash machine, the Daily Mail website may just have taken one further step into the dark abyss. Because Wednesday is 'Man Goes Out' day.
'Rooney spotted out on the streets of Manchester hours after three United players are fined by Moyes for late-night antics,' farts the headline on a story that manages to include nine photos and two videos but few words (and even fewer of genuine interest).
'Wayne Rooney has shown his team-mates how to behave just days after three Manchester United players were fined for their antics on a night out in Manchester city centre.
'The England striker was out for a meal at Wing's Restaurant in Manchester on Tuesday night with his agent Paul Stretford, but was back in his chauffeur driven car just after 11pm.'
Yes, that's it. Rooney Showed his team-mates how to behave by going out for a meal in public. How couth.
It may or may not surprise you to learn that by the time Mediawatch found the story, it was the third most read on the Mail's football website. And we die a little more inside.
A Duff Story
Damien Duff is considering a move to either the USA or Australia to continue his football career. Mediawatch knew this much yesterday afternoon when pretty much every news outlet in the country ran with Duff's quotes that the BBC Sport website reported as being originally made to the Irish Times.
Quite why therefore the Daily Mirror felt the need to brand Duff's quotes this morning as an 'Exclusive' in its 'Football Spy' section goodness only knows. It's not exactly covert operations and dead drop stuff.
Mediawatch is a lonely soul at times, and passed the time on our walk to work with hopes of one member of the press going big on Connor Wickham this morning. Thankfully, our prayers were answered by Niall Hickman in the Daily Express.
Hickman begins with talk of Wickham's 'famous double', but it is his last paragraph that stole our hearts.
'City were strangely out of sorts for much of last night and the away side fully deserved their share of the spoils, earnt by Wickham's double strike. The first was clinical, the second absolute class. At last now it seems Poyet may have found his Mr Fix-It.'
This is a striker that before last night had played over 1,500 minutes of Premier League football for Sunderland over three seasons, scoring one goal two-and-a-half years ago. Sunderland paid £8million for his services.
Wickham's goals last night were well-taken, but let's not go painting him as the saviour just yet eh?
Sub-Editing From The Same Hymn Sheet
Tagline on Paul Wilson's piece on the Guardian website on why 'Liverpool's Premier League title bid is all about romance, not numbers': 'Having not played in the Champions League this season should not be a factor in assessing Liverpool's admirable achievements'
First words of that same piece: 'There can be no doubt, as Liverpool home in on a possible first title in 24 years, that their chances have been enhanced by non-involvement in Europe.'
Glad that's clear.
If I've Told You Once...
"If you live in London there's a million clubs you can support" - Luton manager John Still on the advantages of it being a one club town.
We've told him a million times not to exaggerate like that.
Optimistic Quote Of The Day
"I've played for England at all levels below the senior squad and that is the next step for me. Roy Hodgson watches most of the games in the Premier League. When Andros was playing well, he chose him" - Mediawatch can't help feeling that Harry Kane needs to walk at Spurs before he can run with England.
Torturous Intro Of The Day
'On this day fifty years ago the 'Great Train Robbers' received more than 300 years for their part in Britain's most infamous heist - and this was the night Sunderland were supposed to go through a long, dark tunnel on to the tracks which signalled the Championship. Sometimes it has felt as if Sunderland have not found the net for three centuries' - Niall Hickman gets side-tracked in the Daily Express.
Worst Headline Of The Day
'Connor Wack'em' - Just because his name is Wickham, the club's nickname is the Mackems and he 'whacked' Manchester City with two goals, it doesn't make the Daily Mirror's back page headline work on three levels.
Non-Football Story Of The Day
'A pot-smoking American woman got high before driving off from a friend's house forgetting she had left her baby on the car roof. Catalina Clouser, 21, drove 12 miles home before realising the two-month-old tot was not inside the vehicle and was arrested as she re-traced her journey.
'The tiny baby was discovered by a passerby, still in a car seat and miraculously unharmed, in the middle of a highway. Clouser, from Arizona, astonishingly escaped jail and was only sentenced to 16 years probation after pleading guilty to child abuse and driving under the influence. - Daily Mirror

Slide 1 [00:00 to 00:11]
Short video from the ONS looking at the latest on the UK labour market for October 2011
For a transcript email firstname.lastname@example.com .
Slide 2 [00:11 to 01:06]
We are going to look at the labour market estimates for the UK in June to August 2011, comparing them to March to May 2011.
Firstly, unemployment in the UK for everyone aged 16 and over was 2.57 million, up, 114,000 on the previous three months.
Employment for everyone aged 16 and over stood at 29.10 million, down 178,000, while inactivity for those aged 16 to 64 was 9.35 million, up 26,000.
Looking at September 2011 we can compare August 2011 for the claimant count, which is a count of everyone in the UK that are claiming benefits related to looking for work. Note this is not the same as everybody unemployed, as some people who are unemployed do not claim benefits.
The count stood at 1.60 million in September, up 17,500 from August.
Slide 3 [01:06 to 01:36]
We just showed that employment fell by 178,000 when comparing June to August 2011 with March to May 2011 but if we look at the changes in full-time employment this was more or less unchanged and only fell by 2,000, while part-time employment fell by 175,000, with the difference in these two estimates and the total of 178,000 because of rounding.
Therefore the fall in employment has been more or less totally driven by a fall in the number of people working part-time.
Slide 4 [01:36 to 02:19]
Now let's focus a little more on the unemployment numbers, firstly by bringing up this chart and looking at the total number of people aged 16 and over who were unemployed in the UK and the series back to 1992.
What we see here is that unemployment reached a peak over the period, at 3.02 million in the period December 1992 to February 1993 and this followed the end of the 1990s recession that ended in the summer of 1991.
Focusing on more recent times the number of people unemployed currently stands at 2.57 million the highest point since 1994 and the recent recession actually ended around 2 years ago or in the 2nd quarter of 2009.
Slide 5 [02:19 to 02:58]
With increases in the UK population over time this will impact on the numbers of people who would be unemployed so another thing we can look at is the unemployment rate.
The rate is the total number of people unemployed divided by the economically active population which is those employed and unemployed. It shows the percentage of people who are unemployed in relation to everyone either working or looking for work.
If we plot the unemployment rate since 1992 we see a similar pattern to the level we just showed with a peak of 10.7 per cent following the end of the 1990s recession and it currently stands at 8.1 per cent, the highest rate since 1996.
Slide 6 [02:58 to 04:12]
Now we will focus on the unemployment rate for the UK and compare it to some countries across Europe.
Here is the rate for the whole of the European Union and here the rate for those countries that are in the Eurozone, which is similar but the rate in the UK is below both of these rates.
If we remove these rates and look at some selective countries this is the rate for Germany. You can see that it was increasing up until the mid 2000s as the German economy was weak and it then started to fall. There was no major rise upon the start of the global recession with this in part explained by policies such as introducing subsidies for short-term working to minimise job losses. The rate in Germany is now below that of the UK.
Looking at France their rate follows a similar pattern to that of the UK albeit slightly higher and now looking at our nearest neighbours Ireland, the unemployment rate was pretty similar in the run up to the recent recession. However with a deeper recession in Ireland, unemployment has grown faster and the rate is over 14 per cent.
The highest unemployment rate across the whole of the EU is in Spain where it stands at over 20 per cent and this is in contrast to the lowest unemployment rate which is in Austria as you can see on the graph now.
Slide 7 [04:12 to 05:10]
Finally we will look at the number of vacancies in the UK, plotting them from 2001 and they hovered at around 600,000 throughout the decade until the onset of the recent recession.
They then fell as job opportunities became limited through the recession but there are still vacancies in the UK and in July to September 2011 there were 461,000.
With the fall in vacancies and increases in unemployment in recent years it is also interesting to look at the number of people who are unemployed and therefore looking for work in relation to the number of vacancies.
Throughout most of the decade this stood at around 2.5 people unemployed for every vacancy but since the onset of the recent recession has increased.
So we have shown there are still vacancies in the UK but with increases in unemployment in June to August 2011 there were around 5.6 people unemployed for every vacancy in the UK.

BAYFIELD COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - The body of a southern Wisconsin man was found Sunday, two days after he fell into a lake in the far northwest part of the state.
Searchers found Gerald Buss of Cottage Grove in about 10 feet water on Lake Namakagon in Bayfield County.
Authorities said Buss and a friend were fishing when he fell into the water on Friday afternoon. A seat cushion was thrown to him -- but Buss couldn't hang on, and he lost his grip and went under.
The friend signaled other fishermen on the water, and they called 911 immediately. A search continued until the body was discovered around 12:15 p.m. Sunday.
The coroner's office ruled the death as an accidental cold water drowning.

I am not feeling well when composing my blog post for today but still, my love for blogging needs to push through and for the sake of my 48 followers too (last month they're only 3 – happy!). I am glad when I am receiving messages from them asking me what to do when wearing this and that, at least in my opinion, I can help others. I know I may not be one of the best bloggers in town but I really don't mind. I just believe that "whatever your wants/needs in life, if you are happy doing it then just continue it".
Let's continue with my look today. It's my first time wearing vertical -stripe top to be posted on my lookbook. It's actually one of my high school polos that I tend to wear up until now. By the way, I was quite huge when I was in high school and all of my clothes are of size Large to XL. I was around 80+kg before but as of now, my body mass index matches with my height and weight (thanks God!). Anyway, let's start.
Again (one of my high school polos), the polo that I wore was from Havoc. The good thing about this, is that I am really comfortable wearing this and it stands out to the test of time. It's actually 9 years old. The cardigan was previously branded from my previous post (please check it out too).
Here's the closer view of the polo with my huge smile.:D
The watch was actually given to me by my friend after he went to Hong Kong, well it's really fun shopping there for all of the clothes and watches are of good prices that you can buy tons of them there. The watch really looks classy and cool and of a good brand too.
The pair of shoes that I am wearing was from my friend's online shoe store (yeah, from the same online store I always posted here in my page, feel free to check my other posts too to find out). I wore this yellow pair to equalize the paleness of my top look – so I just added twist to a plain boring scene. Just be reminded that if you are afraid of trying out unrelated colors to top part, just stick to its related color (just a quick styling tip.) Also, vertical lines make you taller too - so it's advisable to be worn by petites and healthy (you know what i mean) people like us .:D
By the way, this look was also posted to my lookbook account. Feel free to check it out too here: http://lookbook.nu/look/4085846-Verticals
thanks for reading my post. hope you'll leave heart and comments so i can improve my looks too. thank you.:D
thanks to my blooming best friend Rexcheal Basang for the pictures.:D

TUCSON, AZ (KOLD) - Arizona Game and Fish is offering an incentive for someone to come forward with information on whomever killed a Rocky Mountain bighorn ram.
The ram was shot west of Alpine over the July 4th weekend and his body was left to rot.
It's a blow to efforts to boost the size of that bighorn population.
Arizona Game and Fish, the Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society and the Arizona Bowhunters Association are joining forces to offer a reward up to $6,000 for information that could lead to the arrest and conviction of the responsible party.

Why Google Fiber spooks AT&T and Verizon
As owner of infrastructure that can meet demand for Internet resources at the lowest cost, Google undermines the business model of its telecom and cable rivals.
By Dana Blankenhorn, TheStreet
A decade ago, in my book, "Moore's Lore," I wrote of how Enron was done in by "kittens."
I was referring to a technology known as Wide Division Multiplexing (WDM), which lets you multiply the data-carrying capacity of a fiber cable many times by using light in a variety of colors, not just white on-and-off pulses.
Back in the late 20th century, Enron tried to monopolize Internet data traffic by running it through a market, the way it was running natural gas through a market and costing Californians' millions. The effort failed, because WDM cut prices on data transmission so dramatically. The power of abundance undercut any effort to create scarcity.
It was as if Enron had two cats, I wrote, then capitalized the value of all the kittens it might produce, only to discover that other people could also breed cats. (Cats are what economists call widgets, since they have endless utility and no discernible economic value. Something like data bits.)
Around the time that I published my book, Google (GOOG) began buying up "dark fiber." That is, it bought fiber lines that were not turned on, due to overcapacity. Google was getting these unused fiber lines at bargain prices.
The more you take, the more Google makes
Ever since, the heart of Google's business model has been to encourage use of Internet resources, as its own infrastructure had the industry's lowest costs. The more the Internet is used, the more vital its cost advantages become. Hence the headline -- take all the kittens you want, Google will make more.
In contrast to Google, companies like Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) -- and to a lesser extent cable operators like Comcast (CMCSA) and Time Warner Cable (TWC) -- see infrastructure as a cost. Wires are expensive because it takes money to roll trucks into neighborhoods and string them one-by-one. They want to practice an economics of scarcity.
So while Google can run 1 gigabit/second downloads and 100 Mbps uploads in Kansas City and, soon, Austin, Texas and Provo, Utah, through its Google Fiber, Verizon can offer only one-fourth the speed, at four times the cost, on its FiOS Quantum system.
Few places have Google Fiber, so Verizon, AT&T and the cable companies figure they have the power Enron sought. They're the local gatekeepers to your Internet, and you pay what they say. By expanding Google Fiber, Google gives this strategy a sell-by date.
Google's core advantage
To Scott Cleland, who often advocates for the interests of companies like Verizon, this makes Google an evil monopoly. Even though Google has never used government subsidies, while Verizon and AT&T have taken billions to provide "universal service," we should hobble Google for winning the market anyway, he argues.
Google is certainly winning the Internet core, which AT&T and Verizon have long dominated.
According to new research from Deepfield, 60% of all Internet users now connect with a Google server at least once a day, and Google's servers now account for 25% of all Internet traffic, up from 6% three years ago.
A lot of this gain is due to the success of Google Global Cache, which brings Google servers into Internet Service Providers' offices to serve popular content locally, especially YouTube videos.
Dark fiber gives Google capacity to deliver even more low-cost bits, which is why its $35 Chromecast device -- which turns your Android phone into a TV remote, drawing content from Google through your Internet connection -- is so important. The more bits you get, the more money Google gets as compensation for use of that infrastructure and for bringing that infrastructure so close to users, multiplying its cost advantage.
This is why I wouldn't want to own Verizon or AT&T shares. If your best bet is to complain that an unsubsidized competitor is beating your subsidized offer in the market, don't expect much sympathy. Expect, instead, the suggestion that you learn to breed cats, like Google has.
At the time of publication, the author owned shares of Google.
