Grambling, LA – Grambling State University will host its annual Beacon Awards Gala in early September, honoring individuals and organizations committed to strong character, high ethical standards and the community or university. Nominations are being accepted.
The selected honorees will be recognized at the third annual Grambling University Awards Gala on September 6 in the Convention Hall Ballroom at the Monroe Convention Center at 7:00 p.m. The Beacon Awards also recognize those dedicated to philanthropy, humanitarianism and substantial contributions to society in specific categories. The gala, formerly known as the Port City Gala when held in Shreveport, is expected to attract new audiences as well as longtime friends of the university.
"Our university continues to reach out to area businesses, organizations and individuals to further the educational mission of the university," said Grambling State University President Frank G. Pogue. "We're reaching out across northern Louisiana, but this year we have a focus on Monroe and West Monroe as well as other Ouachita and Lincoln parish communities as we celebrate all that Grambling State has done for this area – and all that the university is going to do."
"Our Grambling State University family is thrilled that we'll be bringing the annual Beacon Awards gala to the Twin Cities of Monroe and West Monroe this year," said Helen Godfrey-Smith, chair of the annual event, chair of the Grambling University Foundation and president and CEO of the Shreveport Federal Credit Union. "The gala is quickly becoming a must-attend event, and we look forward to seeing people from across northern Louisiana coming out to have a good time and to support the university."
Leon Sanders, interim vice president of Institutional Advancement, said the university has been impressed with the quality of Beacon Award winners the last two years and is expecting an equally strong group of honorees. Anyone can nominate candidates, as long as those nominated meet the 2013 Beacon Awards criteria. All nominations must follow the guidelines provided with the nomination form, and the official form must be used. All nominees must be of good character and committed to high ethical standards; committed to philanthropy and humanitarism and must have made substantial contributions to society and/or Grambling State University in the category in which s/he is nominated. Nominations of individuals can be made in arts and culture; athletics; business and industry; community development and civil rights; community service; education and public service. In addition, a business with more than 10 employees may be nominated if the business has served as a trendsetter for other businesses.
Nominations are due by August 2 and can be submitted electronically by emailing email@example.com or mailing to: Office of Institutional Advancement, c/o Rose Wright, P.O. Box 4236, Grambling, La., 71245.

The awards have also been made in the context of the strategic goals set out in Culture, Knowledge and Understanding: great museums and libraries for everyone.
The Arts Council received 29 eligible applications for Major partner funding, requesting a total of £116.4 million over three years. The 16 successful applicants requested £23.5 million a year against an annual budget of approximately £20 million.
One year's transitional funding totalling approximately £8 million has been awarded to unsuccessful applicants who currently receive support from the MLA Renaissance hub scheme, to help them adjust to these changes. Levels of transitional funding have been negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
November 2012 Briefing events for funded organisations
We hosted briefing sessions to update funded organisations on the changes the Arts Council is going through and discuss how they can help us make a strong case for maintaining public funding of arts and culture in advance of the next Government spending review.

The H22A has been de-stroked to displace two liters and filled with billet APEXi-produced internals. The VTEC effect has been deleted because, as a race engine, the powerplant will operate above the VTEC transition speed, so the effect's benefits are lost. The engine has been configured to rotate clockwise, which is opposite from stock. This was done so the H22A could be teamed with an X-Trac six-speed sequential gearbox.

Your little ones can learn a lot about safety if you take some time to teach them. Keep your lessons simple and even very young children can learn how to stay clear of danger. Here's an ABC rule that you and your children can recite together.
Teach your child to get into his or her safety seat. Always make sure your child sits in the back seat of the car, completely buckled into his or her car seat, even if you're only driving to the nearest convenience store.
Always keep matches and lighters out of reach of your child. Teach your child never to touch matches and lighters and to tell you or another responsible adult immediately if someone is playing with them.
Make sure children know that if their clothes catch on fire, they should "stop, drop and roll." Young children may take the safety slogans literally and roll only one revolution. So practice rolling with them to extinguish mock flames.
Devise a family escape route, and crawl with them on the floor to practice getting safely out of the house. Make sure they know what your home's smoke alarms sound like.
Even very young children can learn to call for help by dialing 911 or your local emergency number. Practice dialing the number either on a pretend phone or a disconnected one and stress that the number is used only for emergencies. Tell them not to hang up as that is a key connection that helps emergency services find them. You want them to stay on the line because, if they hang up, the connection is gone.

Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at email@example.com.
Hi Kerry, In the first period of Monday's Canucks-Kings game, Tom Sestito of Vancouver was assessed a five-minute penalty for fighting, a two-minute penalty for instigating and a 10-minute and game misconduct for repeatedly punching unwilling combatant Jordan Nolan. I'm a Canucks fan, but I'm disgusted by these one-sided attacks and think it was the right call. Nevertheless, I was surprised that the five-minute penalty was called "fighting," as "fighting" penalties are usually given to both players involved in the fight! How come the one player fighting major isn't called for other one-sided attacks like the infamous Emery on Holtby incident on Nov. 1? In your response to that debacle you rightly emphasized the importance of referees separating the players quickly, but didn't mention they could assess a five-minute fighting penalty to one player only! Ryan McCormick,Vancouver, BC Ryan:
As you pointed out, the correct penalties were assessed to Tom Sestito in his one-sided altercation/attack against Jordan Nolan. Since Nolan was an "unwilling combatant," the onus and responsibility was on Sestito to stop punching the LA King or be subjected to Rule 46.2 as the "aggressor" (the aggressor in an altercation shall be the player who continues to throw punches in an attempt to inflict punishment on his opponent who is in a defenseless position or who is an unwilling combatant).
Tom Sestito's actions clearly qualified him as the aggressor in this altercation. I scored the punch count six direct hits by Sestito to the head area of Nolan. Jordan Nolan, on the other hand, was undeserving of a penalty on the play because he did nothing in response to being continually punched by Sestito; even to the point of keeping his gloves and stick in his hands.
Each player is penalized based on their actions and response during an altercation. The penalties assessed to Tom Sestito became accumulative when Sestito dropped his gloves immediately after an end zone faceoff, travelled the short distance to Jordan Nolan and began unloading punches. Based on the rules, these actions qualified this altercation as a fight and clearly identified Sestito as the instigator (Rule 46.11).
In the November 1 altercation you reference, Ray Emery left his goal crease and charged the length of the ice to fight with Brayden Holtby. The Washington goalkeeper reluctantly dropped his gloves and was forced to defend himself when referee Francois St.-Laurent was unable to intervene and restrain Emery from the deliberate attack. The 'punches' that Holtby threw in self-defense were deserving of a five minute fighting major. Brayden Holtby would not have been assessed a five minute fighting major if he had 'turtled' or failed to respond in the same manner as Jordan Nolan did last night in L.A. As you see, Ryan, it is possible for the referee to assess a fighting major to one player only. If that were the case it would be in addition to the appropriate instigator penalties.
Aside from the additional minor penalty for leaving his goal crease on November 1, Ray Emery received the same penalties that Tom Sestito was assessed in last night's game; two minutes plus a 10-minute misconduct for instigating; five minutes for fighting; and a game-misconduct as the aggressor.
There is no question that Vancouver intended to send the Kings a strong message and push back from their previous meeting of January 4, which sidelined Canucks goalkeeper Roberto Luongo. The fuse was lit! It only took nine seconds before Zack Kassian was penalized for dragging Dustin Brown around with his hockey stick firmly hooked between Brown's legs after chatting the Kings captain up prior to the opening faceoff.
Tom Sestito only lasted a second on his first shift of the game for speed bagging Jordan Nolan who, by the way, should have been penalized for charging Henrik Sedin. A timely penalty call against Nolan would have been a perfect opportunity for the refs to send a message of their own in an effort to establish some control and to bring the temperature down early. It was a 'gift' handed to the men in stripes that was ultimately rejected! It became a constant uphill battle for them from that point in the game.
In the end, it was Dustin Brown that once again did the most damage by scoring the only goal of the game early in the third period for a Kings' win. I don't think the expression "time heals all wounds" will apply when these teams meet next on April 5 in Vancouver. All eyes will be focused on that matchup; including the refs as well.

RICHLAND, Wash. - Firefighters are trying to figure out what sparked a brush fire in North Richland on Monday.
Richland Fire Battalion Chief Ted Ricci tells NBC Right Now the fire started around 12:30 p.m. near Hanford High School. The fire took about an hour to contain.
About 10 to 15 acres were scorched during the fire, but no homes were damaged and no injuries were reported.
As of now, firefighters are not sure what started the blaze.
"There is no idea what the cause is. We do have fire investigators on the scene, and they'll be taking a look around. They're trained in trying to pinpoint fire investigation in the wildland setting," said Chief Ricci.
Five wildland engines and about 15 firefighters were on the scene.
The southbound lane of George Washington Way near Hanford High School in Richland was closed while crews put out the fire.

To honor his daughter, Gary Catronio hopes someday soon every highway access ramp will have spikes or flashing warning lights to signal drivers going the wrong way and headed for disaster.
Marisa Caran Catronio was killed early Sunday on the Sawgrass Expressway west of University Drive when a wrong-way driver plowed head-on into a 2012 Toyota Camry in which she was a passenger, the Florida Highway Patrol said. She was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after the 1:45 a.m. collision, according to FHP.

Mac Miller.
These are a custom pair I made for a friend of mine, based on Mac Miller's album artwork for "Best Day Ever". these are pretty simple, so I can add whatever else you'd like on them, so long as I have space. Not much else to say!
New Shoes!
NOTE: THESE ARE INCOMPLETE. I still have not added all the colors I am planning to add. This is a work in progress and with update when they are finished.
Seeing as I am extremely exhausted and am currently having trouble finding my camera charger, I will do this the easy/lazy way(cell phone yaaay), and post real pictures up later…and I apologize for any inconvenience (:
I made these shoes for an art project. I had to pick two different artists, and do whatever I want with them. Recently, I have had this spontaneous obsession with Brandon Boyd(well, his art) and so decided to choose him as an artist(specifically his work for Hurley), and my second artist is Hokusai. I chose them because I love the way they paint waves, and decided I would love to make my own spin off of their work(which was the assignment; I'm not just copying these guys for the heck of it and claiming it as my own lol)
Aaaanywho; Originally, I was going to make two different pairs of shoes, one with each style of wave, butttt I got very bored in class, only had one pair, and was feeling rather creative, so I decided to make one pair with both types of waves and try to make them similar.
See Brandon's work here.
See Hokusai's work here.
Without the colors:
Side One(painting not done)
Side Two(same)
Next shoe(same pair) Side One(also not done)
Side Two(same)
Enjoy!! :D And let me know what you think?
The Cab.
I made these specifically for Alex Deleon from the Cab for his birthday. I stupidly forgot to take a picture of the second side of the second pair, and I greatly regret it, since he has them now. One tongue has the lyrics of One of Those Nights and the other, the lyrics of Vegas Skies. Everything on this pair is inspired by the Lady Luck EP(bottom right corner). Everything on them is drawn using sharpies.
Done best on converse.
Alex holding the shoes after I gave them to him.
This was my first design, made for the Jonas Brothers' Burning Up Tour. The top pair is brand new, on the vans shoe, and the bottom pair are my personal converse, which I have worn to about 7 concerts. A little dirty and messy, but still fun. All of the designs are done in sharpie.
These are my newest pair. The left side of the shoe is the inverse of the right side. The two pictures above are the same pair, one is the inside and the other the outside. The pattern on the shoe is just a doodle I always draw; a bunch of little shapes. I can switch the color of the slime/background of the shoe(where there is no pattern) to whichever you'd like. The black is done in sharpie and the green is fabric markers.
This design goes best on converse.
These are my best sellers. I have sold several in both converse and vans style. It might be somewhat difficult to tell, but the colors flow in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, and purple. All done in sharpie.
I can do these on both the Converse type, and vans type. I can also change the color of the sky to whichever you'd like. Both the sky and buildings are done in sharpie, the silver details are dont in paint.
Excuse the bad condition of these…this is my pair and I wear them very often.
(The ones in the picture above are a different pair, painted and sprayed, made for a customer.)

A man with dreams of making it into the NFL went to great lengths to impress scouts. Under flame resistant clothes and a special gel, Jaye Tyroff nailed a 50 yard kick after being set on fire."I think my calmness in being able to kick under pressure separates me from any other kicker in the world. I kicked a football on fire," said Tyroff, a former University of Miami kicker.It's important to note that Tyroff is also specially-trained stuntman who has appeared in movies like "The Blind Side" and "We Are Marshall." He kicks in the Arena League, but he still dreams of playing in the NFL."I think if an NFL general manager sees that, he's going to say one of two things: 'We need to sign this guy,' or, 'This guy's a nut,'" said Tyroff. Tyroff said he had blisters on ears on his ears and singed his eyebrows and the hair off of his left hand while making the fiery kick. Tyroff says he learned fire stunts for the upcoming "Hunger Games" movie and thought this was a great way to bring his two passions together.

Ten Deep 12.20.12: Top Ten Movie/TV Ghosts
Posted by
Mike Gorman
on 12.20.2012
From Samara in
The Ring
and the titular character in
to the pirates from
The Fog
, Delbert Grady from
The Shining
and more, 411's Mike Gorman counts down the top 10 ghosts from television and movies!
"Top Ten Movie/TV Ghosts"
Nothing screams holidays like ghosts, right? Ok, maybe not but what better way to reflect on what has come to then to pick out some spirits that have been there. This list of the top ghosts features specters both spooky and friendly, but no Casper. Sorry fans of that overly friendly spirit. He always creeped me out, seeming a bit too happy to be dead. Some of the entries on this list take creepy to a new level though, especially number one. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. To kick things off, say the name with me three times and move on down to number ten…
10. Beetlejuice from
Wacky and irreverent, Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice is certainly a unique character who brings some new life to the afterlife in his titular film. And while he is out to haunt and spook, he also tries his best to make his haunting fun with an edge.
Check out this clip from the film's famous graveyard scene.
9. Thelma Bates from
If you have not seen
I certainly encourage you to check out this BBC import that followed in the vein of
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
bringing to light the supernatural world. This series is also the first exposure many of us had to
X-Men First Class
's Michael Fassbender. But he is not the draw here, instead it is lesbian ghost Thelma who goes from second fiddle best friend to starring lead as the series progressed. She is known for speaking her mind and making her impact felt even if she is no longer technically arrived.
Every ghost has an origin, ie. they have to die. Here is the tragic moment that started Thelma's true adventure.
8. Kane from
Poltergeist 2
Kane is the first entry on the list that I can say honestly scared the stuffing out of me the first time I saw him. He is the mad preacher who haunts and taunts young Carol Ann and her family during their second adventure. He is intense and pushes as many buttons as he can in order to truly put you on edge. Make no mistake he is no friendly ghost and instead is out to claim Carol Ann for his.
In this scene we learn more about who Kane is and what he wants.
7. Samara from
The Ring
At first we are expected to believe that young Samara was just a misunderstood child wronged in life but soon it becomes evident that she is a much darker force to be reckoned with. She is unrelenting and focused in a way that makes her truly unnerving. Never mind how absolutely frightening she is when she starts to climb out of the video tapes. Speaking of that climbing, here she is in one of the film's most pivotal moments.
6. Dennis from
Leave it to Cordelia Chase to find the perfect apartment for the perfect price, and end up forced to share it with a not so perfect spirit. I like Dennis because he starts out a bit misunderstood and then eventually we learn that he just wants to coexist with Cordy in his apartment. He has no scene where he appears and is given a voice but instead remains an ever faithful invisible aide during several of Cordelia's misadventures.
I could not find an actual scene to share with Dennis so I figured why not spend some time with the lovely Charisma Carpenter as she reflects on the life of Ms. Chase.
5. Delbert Grady from
The Shining
Delbert Grady was one of the previous care takers at the hotel where Jack Nicholson is going mad. During his tenure, Grady killed his twin daughters, at the prompting of the evil in the hotel. He then returned to ensure the dark legacy continued. He acts a confidant of sorts for Jack as he descends even further into insanity. Grady is cold and calm when he appears, almost charming, but clearly devious. This is evident in this excellent scene from
The Shining
4. Dr. Malcolm Crowe from
The Sixth Sense
Crowe makes this list not because he particularly adept at haunting but because of the journey of discovery we take with him.
The Sixth Sense
ends up being about what the disembodied ghosts still must complete before they can truly be at peace with their lot in, well, the afterlife. As Malcom Crowe, Bruce Willis shows us a ghost who doesn't even know he is dead, so the final revelation becomes all the more impactful.
Here is the trailer for this film that I feel is too often written off as gimmicky due to its use of the twist ending. I think it was really much more than that.
3. Annie from
Being Human
Let me be clear that this pot belongs to Annie from the BBC's
Being Human
, not Sally from SyFy's remake. Now that is not to say that Sally is not an interesting character but it is Annie who tread the path first and brought us the story of a truly unique ghost whose only wish was to just be human. Her story is entrenched in tragedy bit she somehow always manages to be the bright light for her friends, the vampire and werewolf. I suppose it is ironic that she is the character full of the most life on the show.
Just this past season Annie's story drew to a close. Here is a BBC produced farewell that truly honors her adventure.
2. Jacob Marley from
A Christmas Carol
I give this spot to Jacob Marley in all of his iterations in the various productions both on TV and in film of Dickens' tale. He is the one that regrets his actions in life and uses his resources in death to try and help his friend Scrooge before it is too late. Marley is bound by chains made from his misdeeds. Without him, there would be no
Christmas Carol
to tell.
Here is a glimpse of one of my favorite takes on the character from the
Muppet Christmas Carol
, of course.
And lastly…
1. The pirates from
The Fog
The Fog
is one of the few movies that has the same effect on me now as it did when I first saw it as a kid. And that is, it scares the heck out of me. Most of the frights are due to the pirate ghosts that inhabit the slow moving fog. They are relentless and single minded; and will not be stopped. They were wronged in life and will not rest until their revenge is exacted and maybe not even then. I think they take the top spot because they do not try to be anything but what they are, and that is terrifying monsters. They are silent and deadly, and utterly terrifying.
If you have not seen the film, you might want to skip this spoiler filled clip as it is the complete ending to the film. I still get chills when I watch it now.

Use the tax deductions system to spur economic groth, and this is not just another tax cut idea.
I would like to share an idea I had to one, help resort the government budget, and two, to increase economic activity. I have entitled my idea The Non-Profit Employment Incentive: It is outlined in brief below.
The basic concept is for profit businesses large to small, to help employ people who they may lay off, or those who need a job through non-profits. The system would work just like the donation program for tax deductions and so on, only these donations would go specifically to employ people at non-profits. So if company A donates $1 million to a non-profit to hire 20 people for a year, then they would get a tax deduction, and/or reduce liability, and so on.
The two major benefits to this program would be increased employment and economic stability, and increases tax revenue without having to raise taxes. When someone is employed that salary is spent 5 to 7 times in the economy, which also means that tax revenue would be 5 to 7 greater for that money. This should spur economic growth, and make downturns less painful in the future.

Mar 27 2011: Just allowing companies to have more money to hire people would not make sense becasue why would a company hire people that they do not need.
The idea is to use money that they give to charity already to focus it on developing more jobs. It may not be a full 100% liability reduction either. Companies would be in favor of suppoting the idea becasue it help to expand the economy, which means more people can buy cars, more can buy homes and so on.
As I said, when someone is employed the money is spent 5 to 7 more times, which would increase tax revenue in the larger picture. So in a 3 year plan the government would be bringing in more money without pulling money out of the economy. This is not a short sighted plan.
It not exactly a loop hole since the money is not going directly into the company pockets. If a bank is able to use some of their gains to spur more people to buy houses, and for more companies to start up business, then it create a more sustainable economic landscape. I agree that there just needs to be more taxes collected, but it does not solve the economic woes.
####If a company A makes $10 million and reduces by $1 million, true the tax revenue would be less from that company. BUT, since the money is going to sepcificly to create jobs, then those jobs have to pay income tax. So the 1 million is still being taxed. Plus that million would get spent in the economy 5 more times increasing overall income, which increases tax revenue. Not to mention more people would spend more, (sales tax revenue), and more people could buy more houses (property tax revenue) ########
The idea uses the fundemantals of a free market economy to generate more wealth. Thanks for commenting.
Mar 28 2011: what is better than a good business? a bigger good business! if i have a company that performs well, i definitely want to expand it. open a new shop, a new factory, get new clients, increase production. to do so, i need capital.
every money spent is spent multiple times. you can't count it on the benefit side, but ignore on the downside. as you take away money from a company, you take it away many times as well. governments often brag about how good what they do is. but they often forget to mention the price of it.
except you want to take away from a functioning, successful company, and give to someone else. at best it is a net zero, but more probably a net negative transaction.
Mar 28 2011: There are times when a company can't expand even if they are doing well. This was the problem in the great depression. There were companies that were making profits. The issues was that there was no more markets to be explored becasue everyone else was too poor to aford to buy things.
Most of the time good companies tend to keep things stable. If they need capital to be given to them by the goernment to expand, then they are not a stable company money wise. Good companies make their own capital, by being good companies.
If companies are pulling in profits, then those profits are going to a few people (like investors, and the rich) who spend their money at lower rates than somone who is middle class. Plus, the profits are after they have paid their labor cost.
True societial wealth is created by creating jobs. More importantly creating middle class jobs. It is better for the money to be in middle class hands becasue they spend a larger percent of their income than the rich. There is only the benifit side to what I am saying. MY idea is not to take money away from companies, but allow them to make the best decesion.
This is pretty simple economics. Thanks for commenting.
Mar 28 2011: it is not possible that a company does well, but can't expand. if the entire economy is shrinking, the company still can take away market from competitors. remember, "doing well" means doing better than the competitor.
we exactly talk about companies that ARE about to expand, but can not, since you took away their profits. it is also not true that companies make capital for themselves. this is only one way, the other is through the banking system or other forms of investment.
it is also not meaningful to "spend at lower rate". put in bank, store at home in a sac, or buy a luxury yacht, neither will put the economy in any worse shape. what counts is the amount of value created by labor, and the amount of consumption. what can put the economy down is malinvestment. another thing is government policies that deter people from saving.
your economics is indeed simple, and just as wrong. you buy keynesian views on face value. i don't recommend it.
Mar 28 2011: I think that you are forgetting that sometimes companies lack an incentive to invest. This is why they do not expand. In fact over expansion is a common cause for a company failing. Companies even if doing well, can't expand becasue the risk is too high. Taking out other competitors market share only adds to more risk if the economy gets worse.
If some put money into a bank, and the bank cannot lend because the economy is not growing fast enough, then what good is it to creating wealth?
Yes I do support Keynesian view becasue the classical economic view of the early 2000's lead to a greater problem later. Sure drop taxes for the rich, lower interest rates to nothing, and let business run wild. That really turns out well. Then again what would you really know about the economics of the Industrial revolution where there was great masses of wealth created, as most people were living in a poverty hell. How about the 1930's when people rioted and were killed becasue people did not have enough to eat. I think you need to look at the human side of your thoughts.
The key to any economiy is jobs. Why do you think investment stops when the unemployment rate spikes? Companies historically do not always create new jobs. In fact they look for way to cut them becasue labor is a cost. Then again I am sure you are happy about the banks sitting on huge amounts of money, and not lending to small business after they were bailed out by this evil government. People like you always are aginst government involvement until the system is about to collapse. You may say let it fall BUT, it bring everyone down with it.
Maybe you are the one that needs to wake up and stop putting trust into the wealthy. Comapnies do not work in the interest for all. Yes it is simple, but you have yet to understand it.
Mar 28 2011: some companies don't want to expand, some make mistakes, and so on. it does not matter as long as there are companies, many of them, that do expand and do make good decisions. that is how capitalism works. you are tried on the market.
banks lending and the economy growing is in reverse relationship than you suggest. if there are savings, the economy grows. except if the money markets are crippled by stupid state regulations.
the key to economy is not jobs, but production.
unemployment rate spikes because there is no investments. more precisely, after a period of massive malinvestments, the labor markets can't adjust because of stupid regulations.
i don't put trust in the wealthy. i put my trust into people. responsible, autonomous, hard working people.
Mar 28 2011: This is your problem with seeing the correct side. Capitalism sometimes does not work!!! Take a look at history. Pure capitalism is dangerous. The US deregulated engergy and we got Enron. Deregulate banking and we got AIG. Yeah there were banks that were doing right, but the system was corrupt.
Less enforced regulation on oil lead to the gulf oil spill.
Maybe you should read up on what is was like in Detroit in the 1930's when ford would lay off thousands of workers at a time.
Time and time again we go over Classical economics, and it fails, and it fails, and fails again. The princuples are solid, but the practice is not perfect. The problem is that hard working people get screwed by the wealthy if something does not step in to enforce. Supply side economics is over. Grow up and look around. It no longer works, nor does it explainn what happened in 2008.
Mar 28 2011: i took a look at history, and i read a lot about it. pure capitalism does not exist, and did not exist ever. the closes thing was the post industrial revolution england and US. but marxism quickly started to erode it, remnants of the power houses too, then came the wars, and came the "progressives", and keynes, and all went downhill from there. enron and recent banking shenanigans all happened on a throughly regulated economy. the oil spill also happened due to idiotic regulations: liability cap, state granted license, and all. in detroit, in 1930, there was a so called "bust" that followed the so called "boom", which was caused by idiotic bank regulations and the also idiotic government.
classical economics does not exist. since keynes, we can call it officially dead. but even before that, states were pre-keynesian. what you observe now is the failure of interventionalism and keynesianism. and true you are, they fail all the time.
however, i recommend you studying austrian economics, instead of the classical british. smith and ricardo were geniouses of their times, but the true masters of economics were the austrians. and it not only explains what happened in 2008, but predicted it!
Mar 28 2011: The recent economy was not thoughly regulated. You need to look up the repealed Glass- Steagal act. How is that a regulated banking system?
Oil companies blatantly ignored the regulations in place, and then paid off regulators. The system became corrupt. The history in detroit was a result of bad banking and over speculation, which is why we must look ay other ways of creating wealth other than just companies.
Allowing too much trust in companies is dangorous. A main componant of Austrian economics is laize fair economics which is the same of the industrial revolution. Putting everything back to a individual behavior is an easy answer but may not expaln it all. Why would someone working in a best interest write bad loans? Why would people sign loans they do not understand? The glass steagall act could have scientifically predicted the outcome. This means that economics is not purely behavioral. There are also actions that can be taken to correct bad behavior. Austrian school of economics is really just taking the next step from Smith: http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/AustrianSchoolofEconomics.html. Individual right to choose, economies work best when people seek the best for themselves.
Keynesians also predicted 2008 becasue there was an obvious demand pull inflation in housing. The market became over saturated (which means banks could no longer write any more loans, meaning that they could not expand even if they wanted to) and housing prices shot up across the US.
Austrians are really just more well thought out classic economist. Austrians just deny that economies can be judge and predicted by ideals, and math.
Mar 29 2011: the glass-steagal act is a bank regulation. how would that prove your point? free (state provided) deposit insurance is the worst thing ever. it undermines risk awareness of banks, and creates incentives to reckless lending. one of the main causes of our problems. such regulation has no place in a free economy.
corruption is part of the state. why there is corruption in every country?
i don't trust companies. i trust the system. the system will give negative feedback for any harmful activities, and positive feedback for efficient service.
why would people sign loans they don't understand? answer yourself. you say people are stupid? i don't think that. those so called "bad loans" were actually very good. free party for a few years, with no risk other than losing a house that you never could afford anyway. banks also won. every participant won. that's rational. we, all others, lose. thanks, wise government! good job!
keynesians possibly predicted, but only in the bathroom or basement or somewhere. look up peter schiff videos on youtube, he debated a lot of "experts" from 2005 up to now. this is documented. what keynesian wrote or talked about a bust before 2007?
just? not just. that is a very tiny detail in austrian economics. the important thing is that it is based on human action, how people act and react. an austrian for example never would such a silly-billy thing that demand pulls the economy. not more than the cart pushes the horse.

ZURICH (Reuters) - Nestle
Catsicas, who began his career as drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline's
Vevey-based Nestle is increasingly linking up food and science with its Health Science unit, set up in 2011 as the Swiss group seeks to profit from growing demand for medical foods from an ageing population.
In February, Nestle said it would buy U.S. company Pamlab, which makes medical foods for patients with conditions including diabetic peripheral neuropathy, dementia, depression and high-risk pregnancy.
That deal followed a stake purchase in U.S. firm Accera, which makes a medical food brand for Alzheimer's patients, last year.
"Bringing together his extensive experience in academia, open innovation and business, Stefan Catsicas has the right competences to reinforce and advance our unmatched research and development capabilities and bring them to new levels of achievement," Nestle Chief Executive Paul Bulcke said in a statement on Friday.

Foucault - The Key Ideas: Foucault and the Panopticon
By Paul Oliver
The Panopticon was an architectural design for a prison. It was developed initially by the philosopher Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832) in the late eighteenth century. The principle of the Panopticon was that prisoners could be observed night and day, without realizing that they were being observed. The structure consisted of tiers of prison cells, arranged in a circular design. In the very centre of the circular structure was an observation tower, tall enough for the observer to be able to see the interior of each cell. The windows of the observation tower were masked so that it was not possible for prisoners to know if anyone was in the tower. An arrangement of blinds was suggested to hide the presence of any lights inside, so that prisoners could not guess whether the observation tower was staffed. The psychology of the Panopticon was thus that prisoners would never be certain whether or not they were being observed. The Panopticon later became the inspiration for a number of different prison designs. Its significance for Foucault was that it reflected much of the philosophy of observation that has become a guiding principle of policing in the modern state. The use of video cameras both in cities and on roads employs the same principle of observation, so that the citizen is never entirely sure whether or not they are being watched.

It is worthwhile considering the reasons for Foucault remaining one of the most cited academics within the social sciences. First of all, his writing and scholarship was so diverse that it is very difficult to place him within a particular school of thought.
Catholicism - An Introduction: Confession
Confession is one of the seven sacraments of Catholicism. It is also known as penance, the sacrament of conversion, or more commonly by its modern name, reconciliation. It affords Catholics an opportunity to confess their sins to a priest and receive absolution. Sins can be either 'mortal' – the more serious – or 'venial' – the everyday. Confession of venial sins is recommended but not obligatory.
Catholicism - An Introduction: Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, Christianity teaches, was born of a virgin mother, Mary, in Bethlehem, grew up in Nazareth, and only began his public life of teaching and healing in AD 30. Three years later he was crucified. He was, according to the Churches, the Son of God, and three days after his death rose from the dead before ascending into heaven.
Catholicism - An Introduction: Mass
The Catholic Church obliges its members to attend Mass on Sundays. They can go instead on the previous (i.e. Saturday) evening. Exceptions are made in cases of serious illness or heavy responsibility for child care, particularly of infants, but absence otherwise is regarded as a grave sin. Despite this, statistics for many hitherto staunchly Catholic countries in the developed world (for example, Ireland) in recent years have shown a fall in the numbers attending Mass every Sunday without fail.
Catholicism - An Introduction: Monks and Nuns
Religious orders – for men and women – have been part of Catholicism since the third century. Members live in communities, based on the model of Jesus and his Apostles. Saint Antony (251–356) is regarded by Catholicism as the founder of monasticism. He gathered like-minded individuals to join loose-knit communities of hermits in the Egyptian desert.
Sikhism - An Introduction: The Pope
An aspect of Catholicism that sets it apart from the rest of Christianity is its loyalty to the papacy. Catholics believe that the Pope in Rome stands in a direct line back to the Apostle Peter and therefore has unparalleled spiritual and teaching authority. In certain matters of faith and morals popes can speak infallibly – without error.
Catholicism - An Introduction: Prayer
All religions have their prayers, ceremonies and rites of passage. Their purpose is to forge a link between humankind and the gods, to provide a forum for spiritual exploration, and to remind individual believers that they are part of something bigger than themselves, both in their own times, and throughout history.
Catholicism - An Introduction: Priests
To become a Catholic priest, you have to be male and willing to live a celibate life after ordination. Study for the priesthood is undertaken in a seminary, either in the local diocese, under the control of the local bishop, or elsewhere. Some candidates, especially those considered to have great academic potential, are sent to study in Rome. The basic training takes six years and includes time spent in parishes and learning by working alongside older priests.

Catholicism - An Introduction: The Vatican
When Christianity achieved official recognition from the Roman Empire in the fourth century, a basilica was built in memory of the first Pope, Saint Peter, on the spot where he had been executed.

Nietzsche - The Key Ideas: Apollo and Dionysus
Nietzsche's first major work was The Birth of Tragedy, published in 1871. At the time of writing, Nietzsche was still under the influence of the German composer Richard Wagner (1813–83) and his writings on the importance of art and nature. Wagner argued that art, especially music, can perform the same function as religion as it expresses the essence of nature.
Nietzsche - The Key Ideas: God is dead
In The Gay Science, published in 1882, Nietzsche introduces the character of a 'madman' who enters a busy market place and asks, 'Where is God?' The madman is mocked by the people in the market, which causes him to say, 'We have killed him, you and I.'
Nietzsche - The Key Ideas: The will to power
The concept of the will to power is one of Nietzsche's most famous contributions to the philosophical tradition, and yet it is a notoriously difficult concept to interpret. The main reason for this difficulty is that Nietzsche, like so much of his thought, is never particularly explicit in his account of the doctrine.
Nietzsche - The Key Ideas: The Superman
In the prologue to Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1885), the proclamation is made that the Superman is on his way. In The Gay Science (1882), Nietzsche talks of the Superman with reference to gods and heroes.

Nietzsche adopted a view of knowledge that is referred to as perspectivsm which, essentially, argues that there is no such thing as absolute knowledge that is independent of our perspective.

In The Gay Science (1882), Nietzsche presents a 'what if' image. He asks what if a demon were to creep up to you one night when you are all alone and feeling lonely and were to say to you that the life you have lived and continue to live will be the same life you will live again and again for infinity.
Nietzsche - The Key Ideas: Nietzsche and politics
There is considerable debate in academic circles over whether Nietzsche really subscribed to any political views.
Nietzsche - The Key Ideas: Nietzsche's legacy
Nietzsche has been hugely influential since his death. He was referred to as the 'Nazi philosopher', but this was due to the propagandist methods of his sister Elisabeth, and Nietzsche himself would have been horrified to be associated with Nazism.
Nietzsche - The Key Ideas: Nietzsche's life
Nietzsche was born on 15 October 1844 in Röcken, which is a municipality in the district of Burgenlandkreis in Saxony-Anhalt in Germany. When he went to university in 1864 to do philology (the study of language and literature) and theology he had already ceased to believe in the existence of God and he soon abandoned the study of theology altogether.

Grown in Detroit
United States
Just imagine... Teen moms becoming urban farmers. Utopia? Not in Detroit. Nature is taking over the city and the new generation is taught to harvest its profit
- Genre: Documentary
- Runtime: 01 hr : 00 min : 00 sec
- Websites:
Detroit has earned its notorious title as one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S. due to a struggling automotive industry, increasingly high unemployment, poverty, race issues, vacant houses, high crime rates and decreased public services. Places where houses, factories and schools were once thriving are left abandoned because only half of the city's original population remains. In the last fifty years, one of the wealthiest cities in America has transformed into one of the most economically and socially challenged. Where residents once had major supermarkets and affordable, healthy dining, now liquor stores sell groceries from behind bullet-proof glass and fast food restaurants, are rampant. However, amidst all this negativity, where the press hangs on every story, the city and its residents have surprisingly emerged with their own solution.With the destruction of so many abandoned homes, nature has taken over and the city is 'greening' from within. Satellite images speak for themselves, more than one third of the city has become green again just as it was before the industrial era. This new landscape is creating opportunities and hope for the city and its residents. Land that was used for farming a century ago has again been cultivated, this time by the urban farmer. The urban farmer turns out, whether out of necessity or not, to have a right to exist. Vacant lots in the heart of the city are being returned to fertile land. Some harvest the crops for their own use, some share with the neighbors or community, while others sell their produce at the market. For instance the bee population, almost extinct in America, is flourishing in Detroit. The extensive variety of native flowers on the vacant lots and the lack of pesticides make Detroit's unique environment perfect for a very pure honey production. In such an impoverished urban environment, it is refreshing to see such ingenuity. This is an image of the Unites States that is rarely shown. Grown in Detroit focuses on the urban gardening efforts managed by a public school of 300, mainly African-American, pregnant and parenting teenagers. In Detroit alone, there are annually more than 3,000 pregnant teenagers who drop out of high school. This school is one of three located in the United States. As part of the curriculum, the girls are taught agricultural skills on the school's own farm located behind the school building what used to be the playground. The young mothers, often still children themselves, are learning by farming to become more independent women and knowledgeable about the importance of nutritional foods. Many of them start out disliking the often physically hard work on the farm but this aversion disappears as they see their crops growing and being sold for profit. "Back to the roots", a simple yet effective solution for a city that has to start all over again and perhaps a lesson to be learned for the rest of the world.

Jeanette08 June 2010 at 00:51 | #This an amazing film. It is SO beautiful and inspirational that it made me want to move back to Detroit just to volunteer at that school! (I can't, yet.) I dare you to watch it and not be moved.
Vikas11 June 2010 at 14:44 | #This movie is so inspiring...it is hard to call it a documentary because it so artistically filmed and produced. It made me laugh out loud and get tears in my eyes throughout the movie. AND it changes the way I look at Detroit each day - it makes me see the possibilities, not the blight. A wonderful message to send about a city reinventing itself...make an effoirt to see this film, it will change your life in a positive manner.

"Got new carpet down, now I don't have the furniture to put on the carpet," said El'Tarell Copeland.Fox 2 was flooded with calls and emails from viewers angry their cash and furniture are being held hostage.Copeland worked 70 hour weeks for months to buy a couch. Now he's out $2,000."I have the paperwork here showing the final payment, zero balance on this brown couch," he said."I kept calling and calling, there was a loud beeping noise that sounded like the phone was going to fax," we were told by a woman who wished to remain anonymous.Park Furniture on Eight Mile seems to have disappeared in the middle of the night just like Furniture Express, the store that was there previously."When I got up here, the door was locked. I walked all around. The place is full of furniture. The lights are on," the woman said.She explained that she shelled out about $700 for a down payment and now has nothing to show for it. There are no forwarding numbers or addresses, just signs that show a non-descript piece of a mortgage document with Comerica Bank scribbled in black marker."I went down to Comerica and asked them about it and they said that the sign was fake. They spoke to corporate and the sign was fake," said the woman."They said ... that paper that's up here with their address is really this address and there was nothing they can do for me. They also told me to go see you, Channel 2," Copeland said.Fox 2 went to the West Bloomfield address of the man listed as the president of Park Furniture, but no one was home, so we called him. There was no answer."Refund me my money. I don't even want the business of this company because they disrespected the people in this community by doing that," the woman said."The public should know they do not have the right to just take our money," said Copeland.We have not yet heard back from the owner.

Stella McCartney Launches Kids' Line
Attention, mini-fashionistas: Stella McCartney is about to launch a new line just for kids! The collection will have everything from yellow rain boots to floral dresses and is meant to appeal to the masses. "As a brand with many working parents on the team, I wanted to create a desirable, fun, wearable kids' collection that was timeless and affordable," she said.
If her lines from the Gap are any indication, this line will be to die for (though a tad on the expensive side). Jeans, rain boots, jackets and minis will range from $25 to $195 but will be made from the finest of fabrics. She's even designing organic onesies for babies -- super soft!
The line will encompass items for children aged 0 to 12, but don't expect any fur or animal products, as Stella is a lifelong vegetarian.
The designer told Vogue U.K., "I feel like all the timeless children's wear is reserved for the expensive brands and that does not sit well with me. Kids and parents, aunts, uncles, friends should all be able to have access to Stella McCartney Kids clothes. We have tried to make that possible in this first collection, and hope it is enjoyed!"
Want a sneak peek at the line? Watch the video here.
Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and youâre kind, amazing things will happen.

Former Pres. Jimmy Carter Congratulates Grandson on Unearthing Romney Video
FiredUpInCa has a Diary up confirming that the source for disseminating the now-infamous Romney video is none other than James Carter IV, the grandson of former President Jimmy Carter. In his Diary, FiredUpInCa asksWouldn't it be ironic if the guy who takes such glee in denigrating the legacy of former President Jimmy Carter, has his political career ended by the literal legacy of Jimmy Carter?
At 7:16 am this morning, we heard from former President Carter:After emailing his grandfather the magazine's story about the tape — under the subject, "Huge campaign news," and calling it "my biggest story yet" — the former president wrote back at 7:16 am Tuesday: "James: This is extraordinary. Congratulations! Papa."
Jimmy Carter, probably the best ex-President who has ever graced our country, has served as a punching bag and punch line for Republicans for the last twenty years. Because he dared to tell the truth to Americans about the economic malaise that we were living through in the late 70's, none of which was particularly his doing, and because he lost the 1980 election to a Republican icon, a man so bereft of personal character as to inform on his colleagues in the film industry and even enlist J. Edgar Hoover to spy on his own family, he has had to endure a constant stream of vituperation and smearing during the latter part of his extraordinary life.
The young Mr Carter is well aware of the opprobrium foisted on his grandfather's shoulders by the same people who nearly destroyed the US Economy and deliberately sabotaged our current President's attempts to resuscitate it.
So yes, FiredUpInCa, it is a delicious irony that we see the grandson of former President James Earl Carter effectively pulling the the switch on the trapdoor that Mitt Romney and the Republican Party have found themselves falling through right now.

The Dish on Glee: Cover Girl Heather Morris Spills
Written on September 15, 2011 at 10:22 am , by FITNESS Editors
Calling all Gleeks! Heather Morris (known to Glee fanatics as Brittany) gave FITNESS the behind-the-scenes scoop on your favorite show.
Heather's inspiration for playing Brittany: "She's like a little kid who says, 'I don't get it.' It's funnier to me to play Brittany as not super-stupid, but really innocent."
Why Heather thinks Glee is such a hit: "People love the music and the characters — everyone can relate to someone on the show, because everyone's felt like an outsider at some point in their lives."
Biggest OMG moment on set: "The Britney/Brittany episode. It was surreal. I was like, 'Wow, I'm just hanging out with Britney Spears as Brittany the character. We're doing a scene. I'm singing her songs.' I was such a fan of hers! I was in a seventh grade talent show and I did her whole MTV Video Music Awards performance [from 2000] when she was in the sparkly skin-tone outfit. After the Britney/Brittany episode, she sent me flowers with a note that said, 'Good Job, Love Britney.' I'll never forget that!"
Biggest oops: "While doing the 'Singing in the Rain' number, we were in a tub of water and after about the eighteenth take it was just disgusting. Water mixed with sweat and makeup, and it was gross. I was doing a dance move, and when I kicked, a whole puddle went all over Matt Morrison. I felt so bad!"
Heather's favorite on-screen number: "MC Hammer's 'Can't Touch This' in the school library. There were a lot of sweet moves in that one."

After yesterday's Supreme Court ruling upholding the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act, conservative politicians turned on Chief Justice John Roberts for siding with liberal justices and ruling the mandate constitutionally sound. Critics of the decision even edited his Wikipeida page to call him a "chief traitor" and "coward," and suggested his epilepsy medicine cause "cognitive problems." Conservative commentator Glenn Beck got in on the action, labeling the chief justice the "Dread Pirate Roberts" and quickly setting up his online store to sell a tee shirt with Roberts's face and the word "coward" below above it. Here's a picture of the shirt, on sale for a mere $30:
