Benjamin and Kochin (1979, Journal of Political Economy) present regression estimates to support their hypothesis that larger unemployment benefits increased U.K. unemployment post–World War I (WWI). The Benjamin-Kochin (BK) regression is easy to replicate. When the replication is widened to include income tax rates and WWI observations using Bayesian Monte Carlo methods, the evidence moves against the BK hypothesis and in favor of regressions that include the capital income tax rate. We explain these results with Daunton (2002, Just Taxes). He argues that U.K. tax rates were set during WWI and the interwar period to achieve an equitable, or "just," mix of taxes and debt. Neoclassical theory suggests that capital income tax rates fluctuations created inefficient factor input allocations that drove up interwar U.K. unemployment.
JEL classification: E32, E62, N14, N34, N44
Key words: U.K. interwar unemployment, replacement ratio, capital income tax rate, Markov chain Monte Carlo

Sports injuries happen when you exercise or play sports. Although not every sports injury can be prevented, the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) says that injury rates could be reduced if all athletes—professionals and amateurs—followed essential safety, conditioning, and preventive strategies.
Most people who experience sports injuries have one or both of these in common:
A history of injury. Previous injuries often develop into chronic problems if they're not properly and thoroughly rehabilitated.
No rest days. Playing or training hard every day taxes your body. Rest days reduce injury rates because they give muscles and connective tissues time to repair themselves between training sessions, the NIAMS says.
The following strategies can help reduce your injury risk:
Get in shape before playing a sport. Don't expect the sport to get you in shape. Instead, follow a regular conditioning program designed for your sport.
Don't play or exercise when you're fatigued or in pain. Pay attention to your body, and don't push yourself unnecessarily.
Always warm up before you play or exercise. Take a light jog for five to 10 minutes, then go through some of the movements you do when playing. Stretch specific muscles that tend to be tight and that you'll use in the activity. A proper warm-up can help prevent injury and improve your level of play.
Don't do too much too soon. Gradually increase the level and amount of time you exercise.
Wear the right shoes for your sport. Make sure they fit properly, are stable, and absorb shock.
Learn proper form. This can reduce your risk for overuse injuries in sports such as tennis and golf.
Always use proper safety gear. This includes helmets, goggles, and mouth guards. Helmets, the most common safety gear, protect you when you're playing team sports, as well as when you are biking, skateboarding, and in-line skating.
Never try to "work through" the pain of a sports injury. Stop playing or exercising when you feel pain. Some injuries should be seen by a doctor right away. Others you can treat yourself.
These are times when you should see a doctor:
The injury causes severe pain, swelling or numbness.
You can't put weight on the area.
An old injury hurts or aches.
An old injury swells.
The joint doesn't feel normal or feels unstable.
If you don't have any of these signs, it may be safe to treat the injury at home with RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) for at least 48 hours.

"How can you not like cats?"The more benevolent version of Crazy Cat Lady and Right-Hand Cat. It has commonly been said that dog is man's best friend, but there are many people out there who prefer company of a more feline variety. Unlike the above mentioned evil and crazy versions of the cat loving tropes, these characters have an honest affection for cats and are usually decent individuals themselves. The range of love for cats these character runs a wide spectrum. Some people simply have a cat as their best friend or just adore them for their inherent cute factor. Other characters have a strong affinity toward them and will even go as far as to adopt some of their mannerisms or have felines flock to their location. Characters who follow this trope aren't necessarily good guys, but the kind gestures they make is a way of showing that they aren't all bad - in other words, a scene where they're petting a cat is an example of Pet the Dog. This one crops up in anime a lot due to the way cats are perceived in Japan, as opposed to much of the Western world. Compare Cuteness Proximity, and Heroes Love Dogs for its canine equivalent (real-life examples go in Canine Companion). See also Crazy Cat Lady, Cats Are Mean, Meganeko.

text: The Future of Manufacturing is Local - Allison Arieff (NYTimes) opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com … But there are many parts of this country where manufacturing is very much alive, albeit in a different form. The monolithic industry model — steel, oil, lumber, cars — has evolved into something more nimble and diversified… <… As Mark Dwight, who started SFMade in 2010, explains, "For decades we have developed a culture of disposability — from consumer goods to medical instruments and machine tools. To fuel economic growth, marketers replaced longevity with planned obsolescence — and our mastery of technology has given birth to ever-accelerating unplanned obsolescence. I think there is increasing awareness that this is no longer sustainable on the scale we have developed." <… Things made in places like San Francisco or New York command a desire-by-association (though I'm also sure creative individuals in less name-brand locals could adopt many of the business synergies and sustainable efforts discussed here). To be sure, there may be a higher cost of doing business in major metropolitan centers like these, but at the same time what gets made is largely driven by design and by consumer demand. ..

Sex Pollen: That tickle in the muse's nose? It's not hayfever, it's a pervy plant, and for the next (Anon decides) the muse is going to want to shag everything that moves. Especially if it moves in front of them.
Marathon: For reasons best left up to the cosmos, the muse has the uncontrollable urge to indulge in some 'me time' every half hour no matter where they are or what they're doing for (anon decides). (Try not to get arrested!)
Sensitivity: All of the muse is their new erogenous zone, and clothing does not. help this. for the next (anon decides)
A sudden um...: For the next (anon decides) muse will suffer an impromptu orgasm every time (anon decides-breathing does not count) happens. It may be multiple things and it may utilize any sense, including time (IE every half hour)
The urge: Whether or not they were aware of it before, the muse now has a mating season and it's open. For the next (anon decides) the muse will be driven crazy with the need to go forth and make babies or shag themselves exhausted trying.
A gift: Muse is tied up in a chair or a compromising position with a list of instructions detailing others to do (anon decides) sexual act(s) to them. Anyone who comes across them will be compelled to act out these instructions for (anon decides)
Irresistible: There's just something about the muse today, and for (anon decides)...but no one they come across will be able to control themselves. No matter who they are or how they feel, they'll be compelled to try to get some personal time with the muse. And it's not for an interview.
It's not the Midas touch: If the muse touches someone for the next (anon decides) that person will have a sudden (terribly timed) orgasm. Oops?
Owned: Either the muse owns another, or is owned by someone else for (anon decides) but they'll both be compelled to take certain sexy advantage of that for as long as it lasts.
Absolute Obedience: Anything anyone asks the muse must do for (anon decides) but one catch - it must be sexual in nature. Oh...wait, no there's two catches. Every time they issue a command they lose more control of themselves and can't help asking more next time. Absolute power corrupts.
Four minutes: The world will end immediately if the muse doesn't shag whoever they see for the next (anon decides). And that would just be terrible, wouldn't it?
Impaired judgment: Booze, drugs, sex, they all blend together. The muse has had a bit too much of something and thinks everyone around them is prime sex estate for the next (anon decides). They're not compelled to or any good at picking people up, they just think everyone's really hot, you guys.
Sleeping Beauty: There's only one way to wake the muse from their slumber (other than waiting for anon decides) and it's not a kiss.
Frustration: The muse has a desperate need for relief for (anon decides) but no matter what they do it just won't come without a little help from a friend. A person friend, not a plastic friend.
Candid Camera: The muse and someone else have been trapped in a room with cameras an ordered to perform..FOR SCIENCE. Anon could decide who, or it could be anyone who encounters them for (anon decides).

Directions to the Pioneer Log Cabin
From Louisville and points north.
Take Exit 28 off of Interstate 65.
Remain in the left-hand lane, headed toward Bowling Green, passing the Corvette Museum on your left.
Continue straight. The road is 68/80, merging with 31W (Louisville Rd). It splits as you approach town, and the lane you are on becomes one-way Adams St.
The two lanes of 68/80 join again at a "Y" just beyond a white building on your left housing shops (Hilltopper Inn). You will see University buildings (parking structure, arena) ahead. Bear left around the "Y" to reverse your direction. You can now see the Pioneer Log Cabin set back a bit from the road on your right.
There are several parking lots on the left of 14th St. across from the Cabin and the Kentucky Building. On the weekends, parking should be fine in either of them. One is designated for visitors to the KY Building (this one is probably preferable), the other is a faculty-student lot.
From Natcher Parkway and points south:
From Nashville, take I-65 north to Exit 20, and go west on the William H. Natcher Parkway (formerly the Green River Parkway).
From the parkway, take Exit 6 and turn right (north) onto Highway 31-W. (There is a sign for Western Kentucky University at this exit.)
Take 31-W to University Boulevard, and turn left (west). Follow the boulevard to the Kentucky Building/ WKU Welcome Center (about 4 miles from Exit 6). The road splits. Just after the split you will see the Pioneer Log Cabin set back from the road on the right. Visitor Parking is on the left.
Coming From Either Direction:
You will see The Pioneer Log Cabin just BEFORE you reach the Kentucky Building/WKU Welcome Center. After you pass the Kentucky Building, you will see a second cabin, but that's the wrong one.
The phone number for the Pioneer Log Cabin is 745-5178 or call the Folk Studies Office 745-5295.

How To: Kids' Travel Pillows
Kids and sleep is always a tricky issue and usually more so when you travel. So anything you can do to ensure some Z's during the trip is worth it. Here are four great tutorials for making kids' travel pillows to help your kids sleep in transit and to have something comforting from home when sleeping in a new place.
Maya of Maya*Made made travel pillows for her kids with the adorable and practical twist of adding a handle. The handle makes it easy to carry, clip to a backpack or hang up. (Great idea - shouldn't every pillow have a handle?) She's written up a comprehensive tutorial so you can make your own.
Next up is a camp pillow made by Blair of Wise Craft for her daughter Emma's first time by herself at sleepaway camp. Not only will the pillow remind Emma of her mom, but Blair has included a pocket for a stuffed version of the family cat, Gracie. We bet Emma will enjoy showing this off to her new camp friends and we imagine it being clutched to her chest during some good old fashioned ghost stories around the campfire. Not a full tutorial on pillow making, but Blair shares more photos and how she made a stuffed Gracie here.
If you've never made a pillow before you might want to start with Ariel's travel pillow - small, simple, super cute and she's written a detailed phototutorial on The Creative Juices of Ariel so you can follow along.
Does your child suffer from bobble head syndrome (BHS)? A pint-sized travel pillow will ease BHS when you're on the road and Ashley shows you how to make it at Make It and Love It (trust us - we just made it and we love it!)
Thank you Maya, Blair, Ariel and Ashley for beautiful inspiration to make life on the go a little bit more comfortable!
2 Comments
Thanks so much Carrie for including our camp pillow! It was a big hit with Emma at camp (and even now that she's back home).
We have a big 16 hour flight coming up in two weeks wiht our 2.5 year old and a friend gave us the great idea to go and buy a standard size pillow that's flat and compacted in it's bag yet to be opened. This way you can take the comfy full-sized pillow for little ones, cut it open when you get on the plane and if they have a window seat they have full body comfort. You can then either leave the pillow on the plane (a bit wasteful) or bring home and have another new pillow! I think it's genius and hope it helps us out to make her more comfy.

Cheap and last-minute Halloween costumes
Some are a bit naughty, some are nice.
This guest post comes from J. Money at Budgets are Sexy.
For all you slackers out there (myself included): Last year for Halloween I went as a rock star, but I'm thinking of going as a blogger this time around. According to a friend, though, that means I have to put on a pair of nerd glasses and hike up my pants like Urkel! I think my friend is confused. We're more like this guy. I mean, come on.
- Bing: Famous haunted houses
Actually, I have no idea how to dress as a blogger. I'm just being lazy. More than likely I'll paint the black nail polish back on and sharpen me up some rocker tattoos again. I already wear ripped jeans and T-shirts anyway, so it'll cost me a big fat $0. And I don't have to worry about any props getting stolen by drunkards!
Haven't picked a costume yourself? Check out some of these clever ideas from me and friends around the net (thanks, everyone):
- Christmas tree: I once saw this guy dressed in all green with nothing else but Christmas lights wrapped around him. It looked kind of stupid at first, but when he plugged himself into the wall he had the whole party's attention.
- Random hook-up: My brother won a contest with this: Just drape a lot of colored extension cords around you. You're a "random hook-up." -- MoneyMateKate
- Tanning bed: Tape glow sticks up and down your arms and then trap people in them as a tanning bed. -- hollyjunesmith
- Wolverine/Freddy Krueger: Just put silverware on your fingers. -- The Digerati Life (pics)
- Kissing booth: I took a picture of this dude a few years back and it still cracks me up to this day. All he did was put some cardboard together with some red velvety stuff, and labeled it "Kissing Booth." From what I remember, it really worked.
- Smarty pants: Tape Smarties candies to your pants -- smarty pants. (I did this last year.) -- Jennifer Bruyette
- Gold digger: Gold-colored dress + shovel. -- beskeie
- Martini glass: Saran Wrap around me as the stem, and a big dog medical collar as the glass, my head in green tights for the olive.
- Road/highway: Black T-shirt with yellow tape down the middle, then glue/tape dollar store toy car/trucks to the shirt. Super easy and inexpensive. -- Kim
- Drunken college students: Just wear a college shirt (with buffalo wing stains) and drink lots of natty light! Cheap, easy and fun! -- Matt_SF
- A "cool" guy: You know, trucker hat, popped collar, fancy facial hair, and boxers hanging out. Like this. -- Nicole at Breaking Even Inc.
- Sasha Fierce: A leotard will run you about $15. Throw on some heels and fake eyelashes and put on a fake bling ring. You can get the fake bling rings for about $2.99 in the wedding section of costume/party shops. -- The Frugalista
- D.C. tourist: You know the kind: fanny pack, I heart DC T-shirt, metro maps, high-waisted long shorts, camera. -- myprettypennies
- A nudist: Price free. Adam and Eve for couples. --pffirewall
- Skunk: Black tights with a while stripe down the back. -- pffirewall
- Bunch Of grapes: Purple tights with purple balloons glued on. pffirewall
- Cheap zombie costume: Just need tissue paper, glue, makeup and some old clothes. -- creditgoddess
- Job seeker: Wear an old suit from your closet. Tape a pink slip of paper to a "Hello, My Name Is" sticker that you can buy from an office warehouse store for about $4.97. -- The Frugalista
- 1970s disco queen: You can either buy a ready-made outfit from a place like Party City or you can hit up thrift or vintage stores for discount bell bottoms. Wear your hair in a flip or buy an afro from a beauty supply store for about $25. -- The Frugalista
- A domino: I used black clothing and white paper circles to make myself a domino. Kind of lame, but I was in Japan and had 10 minutes' notice. -- MoneyMateKate
- Penguin: I am going to be a penguin. Black hoodie with orange felt beak and giant Styrofoam ball eyes. Adorable, yet frugal. -- calquist
- Spider: Hefty bags stuffed with newspaper, legs made of foam pipe insulation, and a vintage black pillbox hat with veil. -- MoneyMate Kate
- Charlie Brown: Got a T-shirt off some Web site and bought a pair of long(ish) black shorts.
- Ghost: sheet. -- centsiblelife
- Baby: pajamas. -- centsiblelife
- Spy: Walkie-talkie, dark glasses, sly glances. -- @centsiblelife
- Cat: All black, paint-on whiskers. -- centsiblelife
- Waiter: White shirt and black pants. Add an apron and a notepad for taking orders. To really jazz this one up, print a menu of the night's specials to carry around. To take it to the next level, make a waiter's tray and glue a couple of drinking glasses to the tray. Fill the glasses with Jell-O to give the illusion that drinks are being served. -- Converting A Spendthrift
- Special agent/FBI/Secret Service: Build on the waiter costume by adding a black jacket, black leather-like wallet for the badge, and a pair of super cool shades. Jazzing this one up is easy as well by adding the ear piece and a wrist communicator. -- Converting A Spendthrift
- Old-school wrestler: Colored pantyhose or tights, briefs and bare chest. A cape, mask or prop personalizes this costume. -- Converting A Spendthrift
For couples
- Jim and Pam from "The Office": You couldn't ask for an easier and cheaper costume. -- My Life ROI (click for more info and a picture)
- Bonny and Clyde: You should both dress nice in an early 20th century way, carry fake guns, and get a cloth sack with a dollar sign on it to represent the money you just stole. -- My Life ROI (click for more info and a picture)
- Clark Kent and Lois Lane: The costume is much like Jim and Pam's, except with more professional clothes and a superman T-shirt underneath. -- My Life ROI (pictures & info)
- Cleopatra and Marc Antony: To dress as Mark Antony, try and dress as a Roman would. For Cleopatra, you can wear a white dress with gold embroidery. Get some fake gold jewelry to make yourself flashy. -- My Life ROI (pictures & info)
- Tarzan and Jane: Just go to any store that sells fabric and you can make a skirt and shoulder strap for Tarzan. For Jane, you can go in two different directions: Dress as an English person who is on a safari in the jungle, or dress like Tarzan in a skirt and bra. -- My Life ROI (pictures & info)
For kids
- Kid robots: All you need is boxes and Sharpies. -- The Digerati Life (click for pics)
- Mario Brothers: Get some caps and paste some letters on them (which you can have your children do themselves), paint the moustaches on your kids, pick up oversized gloves, have your kids wear overalls. -- The Digerati Life (click for pics)
- Stuffed animal: You know those huge stuffed animals you win at a carnival or fair. Tired of them lying around the house? Cannibalize them. Take out the stuffing, poke holes and let kids wear the outer shell. -- Converting A Spendthrift
- Lilo from "Lilo & Stitch": My daughter was Lilo from "Lilo & Stitch," one of her favorite movies, TV shows, etc. -- Hit up Converting A Spendthrift for details and directions
- Athlete: Have a kid who plays a sport? Football, basketball, soccer, cheer leading, taekwondo, etc. Let them wear that uniform that you paid a lot of money to own or rent/lease for the season. -- Converting A Spendthrift
Happy Halloween, all! May your weekend be full of beverages and candy.

Cash or Credit?
There are certainly benefits to using cash. I think I don't spend as much, and I can't spend more than I have. But I have found that if you have a credit card you can pay off each month to avoid finance charges, there are some perks that you just don't get otherwise.

A breast-themed restaurant by any other name may not be as sweet. While scantily-clad women and burgers are a classic American combination, chains like Hooters, Twin Peaks and Canz have lost the rights to use the terminology "breastaurant" for the iconic combo.
Doug Guller, founder and CEO of the Texas-based restaurant chain Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill, announced in a press release last week that Bikinis has secured the trademark for the term through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
"We're really excited about receiving this federal trademark," Doug Guller said in the press release. "Our team has worked hard over the last seven years to offer a unique experience to our fans. It just further solidifies that Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill is America's ONLY breastaurant®."
The sports bar chain features waitresses in low-cut bikini-style tops and short jean skirts and plans to grow from 14 to 50 eateries in the next five years.
According to a 2012 report by Technomic, a food industry research firm, the industry for breast-themed restaurants has seen boom while other less boob-focused restaurants have experienced steady declines.

The House of Delegates on March 28 took a step toward potentially overturning Citizens United.
Delegates voted 60-39 to adopt House Resolution 9, which calls on Congress to propose a constitutional amendment overturning the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizen's United v. Federal Election Commission ruling and related cases.
The 2010 case held provisions under the 1st Amendment prohibit government from restricting independent political expenditures by corporations and unions. House Resolution 9 seeks to prevent corporations and unions from pouring money into primary and general elections at the sate and national level by asking Congress to repeal, though constitutional amendment, the Supreme Court's decision.
The debate in the House came down to philosophical differences — are corporations considered individuals and does the 1st Amendment apply to them? Well, that depends on who you ask.
Delegate John Ellem, R-Wood, dusted off the history books and pointed out the Dutch East India Company, the first multi-national corporation, was created to do big business and had powers to declare war and to try, imprison and execute people. But, Ellem said, times have changed.
"It was a tool," he said. "Corporations existed before the 1st Amendment. They existed before our constitution. Since a corporation is a tool for commerce, I strongly believe being a tool we created, we have the power, we as the legislative body, and the Supreme Court has chimed in on it, but we have the right to impose restrictions."
But to Delegate Eric Householder, R-Berkeley, Citizen's United evened the playing field and created a system that is applicable to all Americans and anyone is allowed to present information to the voters.
"Citizens must be free to obtain information from all sources to make an informed decision when casting a vote," he said. "Having more speech, not less, in a political process is paramount to our democracy."
He went on to call HR 9 a "ridiculous resolution that prevents free speech."
Democrats who spoke on the issue pointed out the Supreme Court has been wrong in the past. Delegate Doug Reynolds, D-Cabell, said the Supreme Court was off-base when it ruled in the Dred Scott case that African-Americans cannot be citizens. That was decision was later reversed.
Delegate Tim Manchin, D-Marion, said no elected officials like to be targeted by anonymous groups, so HR 9 allows the Legislature to react the only way it can.
"This is doing the only thing we know how to do when the Supreme Court bases a ruling on a constitutional principle," he said. "This is what we've got to do, and that's to change the constitution."

If this game of dropsy with food exasperates you, play it instead with toys. It's fun, baby-style, and an appropriate way to engage your child exactly where her learning lies.

With the thousands of people planning to attend the US open in Ardmore, finding parking will be a problem.
That's why SEPTA has announced additional train service, along the Paoli, Thorndale line and the Norristown high speed line.
Free shuttle buses will be added, running from Rosemont station to the golf course.
SEPTA says that you may want to think twice about driving to the event.
In addition to the announcement made Tuesday about Montgomery County's Cherry Street parking garage staying open longer for the U.S. Open, commissioners had more news for drivers.
The Norristown parking garage will now have expanded hours for the rest of the work week.
Josh Shapiro, the chair of the board of county commissioners said Wednesday, "with thousands of gold fans taking advantage of SEPTA's excellent service to Merion Golf Club both on the regional rails and Norristown High Speed Line, we have significantly expanded the hours of the Cherry Street garage."
The daily parking fee will be $6 dollars.
As of this morning, over 10-thousand people have used the extra service.
The additional service will run through Sunday.

79 MacDougal St., New York, NY, 10012
nr. Houston St.
By RogerGill on 7/6/2009
The front of this restaurant is unassuming, though clustered amid Camaje and Villa Mosconi it's got good neighbors. Once you notice it, the next thing you discover is the bar is hidden all the way in the back and it's super cozy and yet hip at the same time. We enjoyed a sweet pea risotto as well as an arrabiata pasta to start, and then had a very tasty salmon entree and my friends both ordered the steak which was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The only real knock I could come up with is that the wine list is a little pricey for the quality, but it could just be that we made a bad pick. I will definitely be back.

Had a great experience at SmithÃÂs over the weekend. In short I found the service refreshingly accommodating and the food quite inventive. A friend was arriving into town after our scheduled reservation so we decided to decrease the party by 1. She then arrived to the restaurant late and the host was more than gracious in reseating us at our original party size. I was quite impressed there wasnÃÂt more of an issue, and I apologized profusely for mangling the situation on our side. The food, again, was fantastic. We ordered the two different egg appetizers (truffled deviled eggs and the steamed egg with polenta) ÃÂ I normally wouldnÃÂt order an egg appetizer but these two were fantastic. Scallops and panna cotta were also great. Many thanks to the restaurant for making the evening enjoyable for my and my guests.

This joyful bustling restaurant is a gem planted on an unexpected strip of MacDougal alongside kitschy Italian and NYU-friendly restaurants in the vicinity. First of all, reservations are highly recommended since it's a relatively small place. Once you've got that covered, you can't complain about the wait. Definitely start with an order of their divine deviled eggs, garnished elegantly with a crispy Parmesan tuile and sprig of micro-arugula. I can see why they won the honor of Best Deviled Eggs, but why aren't they listed on the menu? I had bites of the Charred Cape Cod Baby Squid, Grilled Portugese Sardines, and the Grilled Ribeye Steak. All were delicious. This is a great place for a date or dinner with friends. There's a plush intimate bar room in the back that I'd be curious to check out sometime...

Pam Reeves: Employers should be aware of NLRB social media rulings
Most nonunion companies would never stop to think about the National Labor Relations Board before disciplining an employee if the employee said something tacky about the company on Facebook. However, recent activity by the NLRB signals that it is using social media issues as a platform to increase its control over non-unionized companies.
The Acting General Counsel of the NLRB issued a memorandum on May 30, 2012 documenting several incidences in 2011 where the NLRB determined that company policies on social media were unlawful. The NLRB is taking the position that its guidelines apply to both union and nonunion employees since the National Labor Relations Act gives nonunion employees the right to discuss wages and working conditions with co-workers.
The memo indicates that the NLRB is particularly critical of policies that prohibit employees from discussing "confidential" information on social media sites, at home or in public places. One policy in question simply stated that employees were not to "share confidential information" with other employees unless they have a "need to know the information to do their job." The NLRB determined that this policy was too vague and could prevent employees from discussing even protected information about the terms and conditions of their employment.
Another employer's policy warned employees not to post misleading or nonpublic information about the company on their social media sites and threatened disciplinary action if an employee violated the policy. The NLRB worried that this policy might be interpreted so broadly that employees would hesitate to criticize the employer's treatment of employees or engage in other protected discussions. The NLRB also disapproved of a provision in the policy that required employees to check with the legal department if they had questions about whether they could post something. This requirement was viewed as a violation since it required employees to get permission from the employer as a precondition of engaging in protected activity.
Another policy that simply warned employees to "think carefully about 'friending' co-workers" was found to unlawfully discourage communication between co-workers.
Thankfully, a policy that prohibited "inappropriate postings that may include discriminatory remarks, harassment and threats of violence or similar inappropriate or unlawful conduct" was found to be lawful. A policy that cautioned that employees should "Be Respectful" in their social media posting also was OK, but only because the policy gave specific examples of egregious conduct and employees should not be intimidated to the point that they would not engage in protected activity.
The NLRB's authority to intervene in these cases has yet to be tested in court, but until there is a definite ruling employers should be cautious about disciplining employees because of social media activity and should review their current policies with legal counsel.

Soul Sand
Solid Block
|Blast resistance
Yes (64)
|First appearance
|Data value
dec: 88 hex: 58 bin: 1011000
Soul Sand (also known as Slow Sand) is a brown-gray dirt-type block, only naturally found in The Nether, usually near large bodies of lava in large veins in excess of 100 blocks.
Soul Sand looks somewhat similar to a dirt block, but it has some unique features. It slows the movement of any player or mob, and players sink slightly into the block while walking on it. It is only 7/8 the height of a normal block, so the player cannot walk from a block of Soul Sand to a slab without jumping. Its texture has faces on it similar to creepers.
Soul Sand's slowing effect is much greater when it's placed in water and is useful for making drowning traps more effective against mobs. This block will also prevent water currents from transporting items over it. For example, it is often used in a cannon to stop water from moving the TNT too quickly. When placed directly over an ice block, Packed Ice, or Slime Block, Soul Sand's slow effect is greatly increased, affecting both mobs and players. The slowing effect can also be used to stop large amounts of mobs at once, making them vulnerable to attacks with a bow.
Soul Sand can be used to suppress the impact from boats when colliding to it at the angle of approximately 6° to 174°, which made it an effective building material when creating a dock.
4 blocks of soul sand are used in the construction of a Wither.
Used in conjunction with fence posts, it can be used to create mob traps. (see trivia)
Automatic walkway[edit]
Because of its size, Soul Sand can be used in automatic walkways where Soul Sand and a fullsized block are arranged in an alternating pattern and pushed around in a rectangular circuit by pistons. This can be the fastest possible way of transport in Minecraft if it is built properly, however there are several disadvantages:
- The walkway cannot be more than 16 blocks per span, although multiple spans can be connected.
- The player must stand at the very edge of the walkway or they will fall through it.
- Also the end portal frame block, without the eye of ender, can be used to make a one-way walkway (can be obtained in creative mode or with the pick block option); with an Eye of Ender in it has a regular block's height.
One-way and Minecart-only gates *No longer functional in Version 1.8*[edit]
When placed on the ground in front of a two-block high doorway, Soul Sand prevents players from going through it from that direction since it is 1/8 less in size than an actual block. This can be useful for building one-way passages or invisible barriers. This affects mobs too as they have to jump to get out of the slowing effects of the block, thus are unable to get through the door.
However, it is possible to avoid the sand trap by jumping over the Soul Sand and squeezing into the one way door or continuing to jump when trying to go through the entry way. Since you do not sink into the Soul Sand in this case, it is like jumping over an empty space. It is possible for a mob to avoid the trap in this way, but unlikely, since a mob usually only jumps when there is a block one level higher than the mob. For that reason, these kinds of one-way doors will be best served by covering a large (4x9 centered in front of the door itself) rectangle with Soul Sand, such that players and entities will not be able to merely jump over it.[1]
Because rails can be laid on Soul Sand like most other block materials, the slowing ability can be exploited to create minecart-only gates (by placing Soul Sand on both sides of the doorway). This is one of the few ways to allow rails to go directly inside a secure area without risking wandering mobs getting in.
Using the same idea underground, one can create a tunnel trap for wandering mobs and players. By digging out one block of the ceiling of a 1x2 tunnel and placing Soul Sand underneath, players will be unable to easily leave the Soul Sand block without destroying blocks.
Another way to get through the gate is by placing a block above the doorway (see picture). It can be any block above the doorway except air. But there is one problem with this other walkway: it will glitch and you will get stuck in the ground.
Growing Nether Wart[edit]
Another use for Soul Sand is allowing the player to grow Nether Wart, a primary base ingredient for many varieties of potions. Nether Wart is planted on Soul Sand like a seed, and at full maturity produces multiple Nether Wart when harvested.

|Console Edition
|Added soulsand.
- The first appearance of this block was on Notch's blog.[2]
- Soul Sand can prevent zombies and skeletons from burning under certain conditions. If you add glass above their head and prevent them from jumping, they will not ignite.[3]
- There's a glitch with Soul Sand and sprinting. If you sprint and hit a certain spot, instead of sinking to 7/8 of the block it's possible to sink all the way through it.
- Because Soul Sand is not a full block, standing near lava while on Soul Sand will set you on fire and make you take lava damage. Be very careful around Soul Sand.
- The slowest speed you can have while still moving can be achieved by sneaking and blocking with your sword while walking on Soul Sand with ice underneath it through cobwebs and still lava backwards, under the effect of a potion of slowness II. In addition, if the player is under these conditions and is moving at a steep angle against an adjacent block, they can move at almost infinitesimal speeds, moving only 0.00001 m at a time. You can achieve even slower speeds by using the following command: /effect-user name-2-(seconds)-6, as levels 7 and above render you immobile.
- If a water current is pushing you diagonally against a wall and Soul Sand is the block adjacent to your head when the current ends, it will cause you to jump.
- In the code, Soul Sand is called "hell sand".
- The fastest way to travel by foot over Soul Sand is jumping repeatedly while sprinting with a potion of swiftness.
- If Snow or carpet is over Soul Sand, the effects of it being a partial block are avoided, as you will be walking on the cover block, not the Soul Sand.
- Soul Sand can be used in junction with fences to create effective mob traps, by alternating Soul Sand and fences in a grid. The player can run over the combination, but mobs become stuck in the Soul Sand, unable to jump over the fences surrounding them.
- Because of the ability to reset the Nether in the Xbox 360 edition, Soul Sand is renewable in that edition. Although you can reset the Nether in the PC edition by deleting the DIM-1 folder in a Minecraft world file, some may consider this cheating.

5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
Herman Miller
Another potential earnings short-squeeze trade is Herman Miller (MLHR), which is set to release its numbers on Wednesday after the market close. This company engages in the research, design, manufacture and distribution of office furniture systems, seating, products and related services worldwide. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Herman Miller to report revenue of $452.07 million on earnings of 39 cents per share.
The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Herman Miller sits at 3.8%. That means that out of the 57.51 million shares in the tradable float, 2.18 million shares are sold short by the bears. This isn't a huge short interest, but it's more than enough to spark a decent short-covering rally post-earnings if Herman Miller can deliver bullish results.From a technical perspective, MLHR is currently trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last two months, with shares spiking higher from $15.96 to its recent high of $21.93 a share. During that uptrend, shares of MLHR have been mostly making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed MLHR within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. If you're in the bull camp on MLHR, then I would wait until after they report earnings and look for long-biased trades if this stock can manage to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $21.93 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that registers near or above its three-month average action of 271,264 shares. If MLHR can trigger that breakout, then this stock will have a great chance of re-testing or possibly taking out its 52-week high of $23.54 a share post-earnings. I would simply avoid MLHR or look for short-biased trades if after earnings this stock fails to trigger that breakout, and then drops below some near-term support at $22.50 a share with high volume. If we get that move, then MLHR will setup to re-test or possibly take out its 200-day at $19.72 and its 50-day at $19.08 a share post-earnings.

What actions can we take to return power and attention to our congress?
We live in a unitary state. An article published by NPR on three realistic alternatives to a single president fully illustrates that. I am extensively irritated that congress wasn't the natural response to the growing problem that the American people look to the president to affect change. As I recall, early congressmen decided to name the head of state "president" as the position was intended to merely preside over the going-ons of our nation's politics. Somehow (possibly inevitably) the president has become a modern-day king, responsible for almost everything our congress once was. So, my question now is: how do we return our attention to congress? How do we re-invest power in the legislative branch of the government?

Feb 19 2013: The "founding fathers" are not one group. They are two groups: The Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. I have no respect for the Federalists, and every respect for the Anti-Federalists. I can hold this position because I have investigated American history using original documents. I KNOW that Americans have been lied to in their formal educations.
Feb 19 2013: Well.. not quite. There were many parties. But, this aside, I am noticing you are just as pretentious - entering the conversation under a specific pretense - as the people you condemned in your original comment. I was under the impression you supported bipartisan politics. I'm also nervous about your sensationalism concerning being lied to. I commend you for having dug deeper. Others haven't.

Little wonder the lotus is a sacred flower in parts of the world. The Bali Red that opened at home yesterday is exquisitely proportioned and delicately colored. We acquired seeds from a gardening friend, and followed his instructions.
|Bali Red on its first open day.
Seeds were scarified with a metal nail file and soaked in water for days in the kitchen window until the first leaf began to emerge. They were tenderly planted in aquatic soil mix but not put in the pond. Instead, we have them growing in large ceramic bowls. All last year, the tubers grew and sent up marvelous round leaves. Over winter, the leaf size shrank back but the plants didn't die during all that cold. All along, they were given aquatic fertilizer tabs.
Now, the first flower has made the long wait worthwhile, blooming as predicted in its second year. And not only is it lovely, it is biologically interesting as well: the flower heats up to attract its beetle pollinators.
The first day, nine stigmas showed that they were receptive by glistening as the petals opened. By
|Glistening yellow dots are receptive
stigmas seen as the flower opens.
early afternoon, the flower closed. In nature, this closure traps beetles inside, where they warm up and mate. This morning, on the second day, the petals opened more broadly, showing the pollen being released by the stamens. Should beetles have been inside, they would have emerged covered in pollen to carry to the next hot flower.
There are other flowers that heat up to attract pollinators. Cycads heat their cones and release sweet beetle-attracting scents. Plants in the aroid family, such as Philodendron selloum, heat their spathe when the female flowers on the spadix are receptive to pollination. Ditto magnolias, water lilies, aristolochias, some palms and members of the Panama hat plant family.
In 1997, Roger Seymour and Paul Schultze-Motel from the University of Adelaide wrote a paper on heat-generating flowers, saying that these ancient plants co-evolved with beetles, which need a good deal of heat and energy to fly. So the pollinators are lured into the large flower, are rewarded with warmth for their own mating, then fly off to pollinate the next flower.
|On day two, the pollen is being shed onto petals below.
Maypop, Passiflora incarnata, is passion vine with lovely purple flowers. It has been a great

eggs on the leaves. Its flower buds have nectaries on the edges of the calyces that draw ants, presumably to attack butterfly larvae. In addition to the ants, the plant tries to discourage butterfly egg-laying by producing glands on the leaf stems that appear to be eggs already in place. The butterflies still are ahead in this little evolutionary game.
However, the vine has drawn another critter that has arrived from the Caribbean. It's a leaf-footed bug, whose official name is Chondrocera laticornis. Its antennae have little swellings in various segments, but those smart leaf-like back legs are hard to beat. Figures. South Florida always draws the flashiest.
|Dazzling Gloriosa superba.
Hanging in Suzanne Kores' workspace in the Davis House is a giant reproduction of a 1999 stamp that depicts flowers of a bird of paradise, royal poinciana, hibiscus and gloriosa lily. Kores, who is the garden's director of program development, has taken the "stamp" with her from office to office. Outside the Davis House, a gloriosa lily is climbing a palm tree and dangling upside down flowers so beautiful they stop you in your tracks. Wavy petals in Venetian red and canary yellow make this a shooting star of a flower, entering Earth's orbit with fiery dazzle.
A bizarre member of the lily family, this bulb has evolved to develop tendrils at the ends of its leaves in order to climb. From tropical Africa, Gloriosa superba deserves its name. Its colors perhaps warn that all
|Hibiscus schizopetalus.
parts of the plant are poisonous and produce colchicine, which is a substance that plant breeders use to double the number of chromosomes in desirable plants, such as orchids.
In the hibiscus section of the garden is another upside down flower: Hibiscus schizopetalus, the fringed hibiscus. This time, the petals have taken the art of Chinese paper cutting to the top. As intricate as an elaborate "window flower" cutout, this hibiscus begs to be painted. It grows in full sun, and like other hibiscus, will drop its buds if conditions fluctuate suddenly: if temperatures go up and down, if soil moisture changes, and if humidity drops. It also likes moderate moisture. But for the sheer art of it, the gardener's efforts are rewarded.
When you line up to taste mangos Saturday at the International Mango Festival, see if you can determine the suite of flavors that Chef Allen Susser described finding in several mangos during
|Chef Allen Susser
Friday's culinary conference: vanilla and honey, candied lemon; apricot, papaya and a little vanilla; lush peach and pineapple with a touch of acidity.
It's this fine-tuned tasting that makes him a chef. Once he has figured out the flavors, this owner of Chef Allen's in Aventura then tries to think of the flavors that would complement them: for the Haden (lush peach, etc.) he imagined crab salad with a hint of mint and coconut milk.
"This is these things come together in thinking about flavors,'' he told the 80-strong audience at the Visitor's Center.
This year's 18th Annual International Mango Festival features the mangos of India, and the morning of the culinary conference was devoted to talking flavors and differences in mango cuisine.
|Norman Van Aken.
The afternoon saw Susser and Chef Norman Van Aken and his wife Janet prepare two dishes: Van Aken produced Black Bean, Tropical Fruits and Queso Blanco Salsa, while Susser make a brine for pickling mangos.
Both Susser and Van Aken have been long-time Mango Festival stars, as well as nationally known chefs. Susser serves on the mango board and has written several cookbooks, including The Great Mango Book. Van Aken is called the Father of New World Cuisine. He has recently opened Norman's 180 in Coral Gables, where he and Janet work with their son Justin. Janet Van Aken said she is called Mom in the kitchen
|Janet Van Aken.
and answers all the sous chefs' questions.
Here are the ingredients for Susser's "brine" for mango pickles: garlic, Serrano chili pepper, black pepper, toasted cumin, cloves, mustard seeds, star anise, salt, lime juice, water. He added an Angie mango. "You can use it after 30 minutes, but ideally you should leave it for 24 hours,'' he said. Serve the pickles on fish or shrimp.
Van Aken's Salsa came with this recipe:
1 cup cooked and drained black beans
1/3 cup finely diced red bell pepper
¼ cup finely chopped scallions, white and light green parts only
1 Scotch bonnet pepper, stemmed, seeded and minced
¾ cup crumbled queso blanco (cheese)
¾ cup diced mango
½ cup orange sections, coarsely chopped
½ tablespoon Spanish sherry vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly toasted and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed orange juice
1 cup diced ripe avocado.
He mixed all of the above in a bowl, making sure the avocado went in last "so you can see the cubes."
He then prepared a dressing.
½ tablespoon minced shallot
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped Italian parsley
½ teaspoon freshly toasted and ground cumin
¼ teaspoon freshly toasted and ground black pepper
Kosher salt to taste
2 tablespoons Spanish sherry vinegar
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil.
Mix all of these ingredients together, whisk well, and chill. When ready to serve, gently fold the dressing into the salsa.
Question: Why Kosher salt? "It's less intense and more rounded."
When cookbook author and world authority on Indian cooking Madhur Jaffrey joined a panel discussion, she suggested using green mangos in place of apples in apple pie, trying mangos in Upside-down Cake and freezing mango puree because it has a thousand uses.
"Using mangos in a cuisine is the key to acceptance of mangos in the United States,'' said Richard Campbell, moderator and senior curator of tropical fruit at Fairchild.
Get out those pots, pans and mangos, the cuilinary ascendance of the mango is happening now!
|Great southern white male butterfly.
Caterpillars are feasting on the new growth that has appeared with the onset of our rainy season. Gulf fritillaries, sulfurs and great southern whites are in the neighborhood, pirouetting and flitting, gliding and darting in the sun and shadows. Chomped leaves are a part of the show and our native passion vine, Passiflora suberosa, as well as the purple-flowering Passiflora incarnata are filled with crawly life.
Alas, snails, too, are numerous, so it's time to be vigilant: pick them off in the early morning; sink saucers filled with beer near vulnerable plants at the soil line; or carefully scatter a few mini-nuggets of Deadline around the base of aroids, amaryllis and other delectable and leafy plants. The mini-nuggets, which are toxic to pets, do not have to be applied in large amounts, just a few carefully scattered will do to catch snails but not the attention of the dog. But check often because they will disappear quickly in rainy weather and you'll have to reapply them.
June brought heat stress to my back yard in the form of yellowing leaves. The garden looked more like an August garden than one of June. Epsom salt and potassium nitrate, 2 tablespoons each in a gallon of water, can be sprayed on plants to help alleviate stress.
Meanwhile, the Fairchild mangoes are filling bowls in our kitchen with orbs of goodness. The ying and yang of summer.

About ShiKaiShiKai began 40 years ago. With a vision, hard work, and determination, it's grown into the company it is today.
Dr. Dennis Sepp, an organic and medicinal chemist, began exploring the unique properties of certain plants and their benefits for hair and skin. His first studies were done with shikakai, a plant which grows in India and is well known for it's ability to clean hair, leave it silky, soft and shiny, and not dry the hair or scalp.
The result was a shampoo which was an immediate hit with friends, family, and local health food stores. Thus, in 1970, the original ShiKai Shampoo was created and a new company formed.
Today ShiKai has more than 50 products which are made, start to finish, at the ShiKai facilities in Santa Rosa. Dr. Sepp continues to oversee the formulation and manufacture of all items.

Male and female interconnectiveness
For the masculine to understand the feminine there has to be empathy or an emotional reaction that can establish a connection between the male and female. If the masculine wants to offer knowledge or energy via information, intent, by way of the seeds, energy, he implants within the feminine, he serves Source best when he follows and satisfies Source intent dramatized or enacted by the feminine expression. She is the code or word manifesting Source intent. For the feminine to animate and give birth to a new form or expression she must receive the sound or vibration of the masculine presence that animates or invigorates the form or her feminine presence. He can only do that by both experiencing and defining, thus activating the feminine presence from within the form she presents and the environment he perceives. The masculine clothed with the feminine form recognizes and sounds the instruction of Source intent. In the doing becomes the manifesting blueprint or seed that will induce the creation of a new life expression. If the feminine is agreeable, stabilized or fertile, she will not only receive the knowledge or wisdom of Source intent via the masculine presence she will also replicate or manifest the instruction of Source intent within a newly created form.
The masculine is most productive if he comprehends the wisdom inherent to the feminine form thereby enabling him to understand and consciously participate with the creation of new life expressions. If the masculine does not possess the wisdom to consciously experience, assimilate and define the intelligence inherent to the feminine presence there is no stabilization of the duality that is necessary to make the feminine aspect passive and willing to accept the fertilized seeds that could grow within her prepared womb eventuating in the rebirth of a form with expanded life awareness and presence. Such lack can and does perpetuate the status quo but it can not and will not induce the creation of new forms wherein life can exist and express increasing levels of Source love and will. The masculine provides, via the feminine the blue print, intent underlying the form the feminine expresses and gives birth too. The feminine is dependent upon the masculine to give her definition and the masculine is dependent upon the feminine to experience and define the knowledge that provides wisdom and self awareness for both.
