Rising Prices Mean Stormy Weather for Businesses
First, let's get something straight: rising prices and inflation are not the same thing and should not be used interchangeably. Businesses often see inflation where there is really only rising prices for a limited set of goods.
In Merrill Lynch's words: "Actual inflation over any time period (as opposed to a couple of months of one-time higher resets of prices) requires a sustained increase in inflation expectations reflected in higher prices more generally - including the price of labor."
Since inflation is not as pressing as prices, and since it got ample coverage in the Fed's first press conference, I will save that issue for another day.
What's Going on with Prices
Businesses of all sizes and across several sectors are feeling the pinch of higher raw material costs stemming from high-growth economies' demand, natural events, and macroeconomic/political unease. Smaller companies are the least well prepared: they don't have the same mindshare dedicated to forecasting, and they don't buy large enough quantities to use their buying power to control higher costs coming down the supply chain… or do they?
Several small businesses have followed the best practices of their big company brethren and have gotten positive results. I have surfaced three general rules for how others can repeat their successes.
1) You Must Know Your Costs
A consultant friend recently told me about one ice cream maker who managed his commodity risk by watching raw materials markets and stockpiling more of certain ingredients in anticipation of rising prices.
He balanced rising costs of one commodity by buying more of another, lower cost one. He analyzed, based on his current pricing, how much he'd have to decrease his supply costs by in order to maintain his profit margin. By keeping track of costs, he knew how much more air he'd need to whip into his ice cream to produce the same amount of ice cream with fewer ingredients (thus allowing him to keep his costs down). Before you judge, know that many larger companies use the same approach.
2) Ask What Your Suppliers Can Do for You
Many companies have learned that if you are a good customer your suppliers will want to help you. Ask your suppliers to help you forecast costs - from commodities to distribution. (For those commodities that are rising, consider a longer-term contract.) Suppliers are better positioned to control costs since they have a better view up the supply chain. They can also suggest changes in terms of the delivery schedule and the number of orders they have to fill on your behalf.
In consulting, we call this "cost to serve". You see, if you make it hard for suppliers to serve your business, they probably won't be amenable to helping you reduce input costs. If you try to make their lives easier by aspiring to consistency in how you order and when you pay, you will find that they will be willing to work with you (e.g., agreeing to pay early can often lead to discounts).
3) Cut the Waste
It seems obvious, but you can cut a lot of cost out by reducing, reusing, and recycling. Don't order more than you need, and use what you order.
Follow the lead of the best restaurants: try to use everything. In the book Heat, written by a reporter who took a year to work in the kitchen of a top restaurant, there is ample description of how top chefs waste nothing. Food that goes unused one day will make it onto a plate the next.
Finally, try to find someone who wants your waste (e.g., scrap metal, boxes, biomass for compost, etc.); they may be willing to pay for it or at least remove it for you. Many big retailers get paid for their waste by partnering with recycling companies.
Aside: While writing this, I was reminded of Chris Rock's Cheap Pete from In Living Color (funny, but not appropriate for all audiences).

Higher Labor Costs Cometh
Marx wrote that "the production of too many useful things results in too many useless people." If you watch Downton Abbey, you can see that tension playing out through the British class system of the early 20th century.
Fast forward to today, and the story is far more complex. Yes, there are too many qualified people who cannot find steady employment, but there are also many companies that can't find the talent they seek.
Fear of inflation and commodity costs abound, but should it change a company's outlook? Maybe not. But what about labor costs? For many companies, the answer is yes. I have summarized four points below to help business owners, casual economists, and investors make sense of the current business environment.
- Pricing power and profits do not always go hand-in-hand. Profits depend on relative pricing power (growth in prices relative to unit costs). Rising profits, therefore, imply that selling prices are improving relative to production costs. With high unemployment rates and unprecedented productivity, costs have been low for many companies. But they are rising alongside demand for scarce talent, as well as commodity costs.
- There is usually a temporary profit spike early in recoveries when there is a surge in productivity growth and a slowdown in compensation costs, but that doesn't tend to last as labor costs pick up. Don't assume that growth rates will be even, and watch for rising labor costs.
- The rule of thumb for developed economies is that labor costs dominate business input costs. While the costs of energy and other raw materials are significant, labor costs are the largest business costs. In the nonfinancial corporate business sector, labor costs are roughly three times more significant than non-labor costs, according to Merrill Lynch. Factor in expected pay raises and hiring costs, looking at the supply and demand for the labor you seek. For startups, this may mean that locking in full-time talent may be less costly now than in the near future, even though labor costs are often your riskiest investment.
- Rising commodity prices will not hit companies as hard as many pundits believe, but some companies may feel the pain of consumer restraint. Watch commodity prices, but know that they don't necessarily spell inflation. It may be a good time to revisit your supply chain costs and find a more efficient distribution model.

Global Economic Aftershocks of the Japan Quake
As shallow and cold as it may sound, there are repercussions beyond the aftershocks, death, and destruction that followed the quake that has so tragically shaken Japan. I hope the rescue continues, more lives can be saved, and the potential nuclear catastrophe can be contained. My heart goes out to Japan, but my mind turns to the economic impact.
When considering the impact of a massive event, it is wise to use multiple levels of analysis (e.g., economic, social, and political perspectives). In this post, we briefly consider the micro-level industries affected, the global macroeconomic effects, and the political or policy repercussions of the quake's aftermath.
- On a micro level, daily we are hearing about how factory closures in Japan are affecting the global supply chain. "Nearly all automakers, even those with no plants in Japan, could be forced to halt production of some models in the weeks ahead if Japanese suppliers are unable to quickly resume making parts used in their vehicles." The only two automakers who do not use Japanese parts in their vehicles are Hyundai and BMW, according to the article.
- Merrill Lynch says: "Japan is the world's fourth-largest exporter, accounting for about 14% of exports of automotive products. It also produces 60% of the silicon used to make semiconductor chips. Japan is a key supplier of advanced components to Asian nations that specialize in the final assembly phase of manufacturing. China depends on Japan for 13% of its imports, largely capital goods, such as machine tools and electronic parts for manufacturing."
- In terms of oil and interest rates, demand for oil, liquefied natural gas, and coal from Japan is expected to increase to help cover power requirements, which will push global oil demand higher in the near term. A sustained oil spike will lead to a greater chance of oil prices sneaking into core inflation, which would mess with the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks' efforts to keep interest rates low. Caveat: if the economy is badly damaged, Japan's longer-term energy needs will be depressed; also, around 40% of the country's energy comes from nuclear power, implying that there may be infrastructure delays that impede a quick expansion of fossil fuel-burning plants to offset nuclear plant closures.
- On a global macroeconomic level, Japan represents 8.7% of global GDP as of 2010, says the IMF. Japan's impact on global growth and U.S. GDP will be limited, as Japan constitutes less than 5% of U.S. exports and roughly 6% of U.S. imports, according to Merrill Lynch. The macroeconomic affects will be a drag on the global economy, but not an enormous weight.
- In terms of what the nuclear crisis in Japan means for energy policies in other countries, it seems that nuclear power has a future - at least for the moment. But U.S. nuclear regulators are considering a formal review in the wake of Japan's crisis. Germany has reacted more aggressively, closing seven nuclear reactors built before 1980 for a three-month review of nuclear-plant safety and the country's broader energy strategy.

UPDATE: E! Online is reporting that there will indeed be a Whitney Houston-tribute episode.
And this will apparently not be any ordinary tribute episode -- or at least not like last month's Whitney-centric episode: This one will feature eight of her songs and is said to be more of a ""character piece.""
ORIGINALLY: They've done Madonna, Michael and, Gaga; is Glee tackling Whitney next?
When news of Whitney Houston's passing first spread, there must have been a bit of a panic over at Fox's hit series Glee. Just days after the tragic event, the series aired a lead character, Mercedes (Amber Riley) singing Houston's most recognizable hit, ""I Will Always Love You."" The uncanny timing was coincidental and didn't allow the series to prep a proper tribute, so the episode simply concluded with a placard that read, ""We will always love you."" But that's not the way Glee does it. They deliver grandiose, episode-consuming tributes, so where's Whitney's?
Well, it may be on its way. On March 8, Lea Michele tweeted from the Glee set hinting at an upcoming tribute:
She doesn't say who this singer is or what song she's working on, but who else could it be? Now that the writers have had time to sit back and create a plan, how could they do a tribute to any other artist before first giving the late great Houston her due praise?
Michele also tweeted that she's working on one of ""her favorite songs"" with co-stars Naya Rivera, Chris Colfer, and Riley. If it is in fact a Whitney tune, which song do you think they're working on?

The soy balsamic marinade was great on grilled pork steaks. Not to salty, not to sweet. It was simple to make and the recipe made just the right amount. We are going to try it on rib eye steaks tonight. I can't wait.
Grilled Marinated Meat
Notes: Marinating the meat in a heavy zip-lock bag is efficient, but you can also use a large bowl or baking dish; turn pieces in marinade to coat, then cover and chill, turning pieces occasionally. If the marinade includes a little oil, sticking during grilling is not usually a problem. However, if the meat is very lean or has no marinade, or if your marinade contains a lot of sugar, brush the food or grill lightly with oil to prevent sticking. If you use cuts of meat that are slightly thinner than 1 inch, check for doneness sooner; if meat is thicker - 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches - use medium-hot coals (you can hold your hand at grill level only 3 to 4 seconds) and allow a few more minutes for cooking.
- 1 to 1 1/2 pounds tender beef steak; pork or lamb chops; boned, skinned chicken pieces; or fish fillets or steaks , about 1 inch thick
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup marinade, choices as follows:
- -Spiced Cider and Maple Marinade
- -Lemon-Pepper Marinade
- -Soy-Balsamic Marinade
- -Wine and Herb Marinade
- 1. Trim and discard excess fat from meat (dripping fat can cause flare-ups). Rinse pieces and pat dry; if necessary, cut into serving-size pieces.
- 2. Place meat in a heavy zip-lock bag (1-gal. size; see notes). Seal bag and turn to coat pieces in marinade. Chill, turning occasionally, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day for meats and poultry, 20 to 30 minutes for fish.
- 3. With tongs, lift pieces from bag and lay on a barbecue grill 4 to 6 inches above a single, solid layer of hot coals or high heat on a heated gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds; see notes); close lid on gas barbecue. Discard marinade.
- 4. With a wide spatula or tongs, turn pieces over halfway through cooking. (For fish fillets with skin, grill skin side down first; to turn, slip spatula under flesh and flip onto another place on grill. Remove and discard skin.) Cook beef or lamb until done to your liking (cut to test), 8 to 10 minutes total for medium-rare; pork and chicken until no longer pink in center of thickest part (cut to test), 9 to 12 minutes total; or fish until barely opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part (cut to test), 9 to 12 minutes total. Transfer meat to a board or platter and let rest 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

Instead of constantly arguing about how to pay the skyrocketing cost of health care, maybe it's time to resolve that we just won't pay so much.
— Stop paying medical ransoms — George Pyle | The Salt Lake Tribune
Phone rings.
"911. What is your emergency?"
"My wife has been kidnapped. I found a note saying that I have to pay $500,000 by midnight tonight. Can you help me? Please!"
"Yes, sir. Just tell me how the ransom is to be delivered and we will provide the money for you."
"What? Don't you want to catch the bad guys?"
"Oh, no, sir. That would require some real police work, which is very expensive. And it would also require us to make a judgment as to who is to blame. People would be embarrassed and jobs would be lost in the kidnapping and blackmail sector of the economy. Now we just use taxpayer money to pay ransoms. The money flows through the economy. We don't have to hire so many police officers. And you do want your wife back. Don't you?"
That's not exactly how the discussion went the other day at the Utah House Health and Human Services Committee. But the decision made there, to forward a bill that seeks to weaken the state Medicaid Office of the Inspector General, is based on the same idea. Namely that we'd rather pay whatever the health care providers demand than crack down on overcharges — accidental or deliberate — and get our ransomed lives back without any more argument. ...
— An average ER visit costs more than an average month's rent — Sarah Kliff | Washington Post Wonkblog
Steve Brill's recent Time cover story, for me, drove home one key point: Prices in our health-care system are absurd. They range dramatically depending on where you seek treatment and what type of health insurance coverage you have.
Brill examined seven medical bills in his story to make this point. A new, NIH-funded study takes the idea even further: A team of four researchers looked at medical expenditure bills that represented more than 8,303 emergency room visits.They found, essentially, two things. First, huge variation in prices: Bills sent out for sprained ankles ranged from $4 to $24,110. Second, overall, really high prices: The average emergency room visit now costs 40 percent more than a month's rent. ...
— Welfare for the Medical-Industrial Complex — Paul Krugman | New York Times
Stephen Brill's long piece about medical costs has brought forth a mixture of praise and annoyance from health-care economics experts, including Aaron Carroll and Uwe Reinhardt; they've been screaming for years that our medical system charges too much, and so they're both gratified and annoyed to see a major-media piece confirming what they've been saying all along.
Weirdly, though, Brill sniffs at one thing that we know works to keep prices down: single-payer systems that can say no. There's a reason single-payer systems are pretty much universally much cheaper than systems — even the Swiss system — that run things through private insurers. And it's not just the administrative costs.
Note that Medicaid, in particular, which is able to say no in ways Medicare can't, is substantially cheaper than both Medicare and, even more so, private insurance. ...

Newline Maker
What are the signs and symptoms of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS)?
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is characterized by the development of growths called hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract (particularly the stomach and intestines), and a greatly increased risk of developing certain types of cancer.[1][2]
Children with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome often develop small, dark blue to dark brown spots on the lips, around and inside the mouth, near the eyes and nostrils, and around the anus.[1][3] These spots may also occur on the hands and feet. They commonly appear during childhood and often fade as the person gets older. In addition, most people with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome develop multiple polyps in the stomach and intestines during childhood or adolescence. Polyps can cause medical problems such as recurrent bowel obstructions, chronic bleeding, and abdominal pain.[1]
People with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome have a high risk of developing cancer during their lifetimes. Cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, cervix, ovary, and breast are among the most commonly reported tumors.[1][2]

A number of years ago someone suggested I had a look at The Bahamas as an area to buy a vacation home. I arrived in The Bahamas at Nassau spent a few days looking around and looking at property and decided it was pretty crowded, a little dirty for my taste and came to the conclusion Bahamas was not for me. Then my realtor suggested I looked at Freeport being a little naive I asked what part of the Island Freeport was situated, of course only to be informed politely it was a different Island!! Now of course since living here I have learned that there are over 700 Islands making up the Bahamas.
I arrived in Freeport, and boy what a difference!! Two lane roads (but NO traffic, rush hour here seems to consists of 5/6 cars at the traffic lights at 9.00 am)
An island that is 30 miles by 12 miles but with only 30,000 people, great shops, lots of duty free!!!
There are also a couple of very large hotels, including the Westin and Sheraton, with their own Casino for those who fancy a flutter and dozens of great restaurants catering for every taste. The only down side of the duty free shopping is that my good lady wife is always spending money in the jewellery shops, but I have to admit the prices are great!!
The beaches away from the hotels are deserted, and after taking the dog for a walk in the morning, when I come back in the evening often the only foot prints in the sand are the ones I left there that morning!! But for those who want Jet Ski's, booze cruises, scuba or EVEN diving to feed the sharks, it's all here in Freeport
We call one of our homes paradise, it would be more correct to call them all paradise, I am sure one day Freeport will become the bustling city that I found in Nassau but until then I strongly suggest to anyone looking for an inexpensive holiday to give serious consideration to enjoying this little piece of paradise that has still not been discovered despite it being only 30 miles from Florida!!
Whatever kind of holiday you are seeking, Freeport has it all, but one of its best highlights are the people; very warm, very genuine people who really understand that the tourist industry is very important for the Islands survival, something which I personally feel makes a good holiday into a destination you return to time and again.

Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Redolent in cherry and spice, with hints of strawberry, game and Pinot's characteristic velvety texture, this is a subtle, seductive wine of great charm and poise. Enjoy slightly cooler than the usual Australian reds but not too cold as the acids will stand out.
"Bright crimson-red; has bell-clear varietal perfume and flavour framed by quality French oak; there is an attractive forest fruit/savoury undertone that adds to the complexity of the wine."

Wherever he makes wine, Bob Oatley's underlying philosophy is to find the right vineyard with the right soil and match it to the right variety.
With the guidance of winemaker, Larry Cherubino, Robert Oatley Vineyards shares the expression of regions, such as Margaret River, McLaren Vale, Yarra Valley, Great Southern and Central Ranges.
From stickies to Pinot Noir, Victoria is varied in its wines. The southernmost state of Australia, Victoria is third in wine production, after South Australia and New South Wales.

The Robocop Trilogy
Released in 1987, Paul Verhoeven's Robocop was an entertaining thriller ahead of its time. Never quite fitting into a strict action movie mold, the formula here is three parts blinding violence mixed with two parts witty social satire…perceptive moviegoers will recognize this style later used to great success in Starship Troopers and Total Recall. Not content to just conform to the confines of an action movie, Verhoeven presents us with his sardonic and cynical vision of the not-to-distant future. Comedy is interspersed amongst the extreme and gory violence. And violent it is…the unrated cut of the first Robocop contains the extended goriness cut out of the movie in order for it to receive an R rating in theaters.
Set in futuristic crime-ridden Detroit, corporate giant OCP is looking for ways to clean up the city to make way for its rebirth as safer New Detroit. A murdered policeman is resurrected as the mechanized Robocop to clean up the streets. The policeman's' memories persist, however, and soon Robocop is seeking out the thugs who left him for dead.
Look for Kurtwood Smith (of TV's That 70's Show), Ronny Cox and Miguel Ferrer in supporting roles. Smith plays a maniacal thug secretly on call for OCP VP Cox, with Ferrer as the scrappy young executive who's Robocop trumps Cox's failed endeavor to create a super robot to fight crime. Part of the fun of this movie is watching these three antagonists go about their business.
Robocop 2 attempts to realize Verhoeven's bleak vision just a little further: OCP sets out to create an even more advanced version of Robocop, employing the disembodied brain of a captured drug lord. During the first half of the film we witness his antics to distribute the deadly designer drug 'Nuke' before he meets his unsettling end. The plot is mostly predictable, but there are some funny moments in the film (watch for a little league team robbing a store en masse).
Unfortunately, the series loses a little luster with each sequel. While the second film has many of the same performers, including Peter Weller in the title role and Nancy Allen as his partner, Lewis. The story just doesn't seem as strong and gets thin in spots, often bordering on silly. The third movie is easily the worst, as the series appears to have taken a turn for the younger, comic book set. In this watered-down PG-13 outing, the signature brutal violence is mostly gone. In its place are lame lines and some not-so-special effects. You won't see much blood spilled the entire movie and a few of the explosions looked like a high school kid with a few firecrackers had rigged them. On the plus side, look for some nice cameos such as Jill Henessey (Jordan on TV's Crossing Jordan), Rip Torn and CCH Pounder.
The special DVD edition of the first movie is the real reason to buy this set; if you really enjoy the extreme violence and witty social commentary, you'll be thrilled as some of the more disturbing scenes are shown in their gory splendor. All in all, it's light fun, and also a nice trip down memory lane.
While only the first Robocop DVD has any special features, they are worth a look. Two entertaining behind-the-scenes features, deleted scenes and an look at the animation effects in the film narrated by Phil Tippett. While stop motion animation seems kind of cheesy by today's standards, back in the 80's. It's fun to hear Tippett - who has now established his studio as a major player in the computer animation field – describe how he animated the ED209 robot.

What Are We Doing About Gaddafi's Bloody Hands in Libya?
Note: The important link in this article is to this "Urgent Appeal to World Leaders to Prevent Atrocities in Libya."
As uprisings sweep the Middle East and North Africa, the bloodiest crackdown is happening, right now, in Libya, where Muammar Gaddafi has ruled for more than 41 years. There are reports of hundreds killed, of massacres in Libya's second-largest city of Benghazi, of snipers shooting peaceful protesters, of tanks crushing bystanders, of regime gunmen firing on mourners in funeral processions for protesters previously murdered, of rocket-propelled grenades and helicopter gunships used against crowds of demonstrators.
That's Gaddafi. Since Gaddafi came to power in a 1969 coup, he has ruled by terror, crushing dissent with jailings, torture and murder. His career of sowing terror abroad — of the Lockerbie Pan Am bombing, the UTA flight, the Berlin disco; of aiding Palestinian, Irish, Spanish and Italian terrorists — was an extension of his terror-based rule at home. Libyans know Gaddafi's bloody ways better than anyone, having suffered under his tyranny for more than four decades. During that time, Gaddafi has plundered the national oil wealth to fund his brutal secret police, his "revolutionary committees" and the rest of his despotic state apparatus, and as blood money to help buy his way out from under U.S. and UN sanctions. He has also been readying the way for inheritance of his grotesque state machinery by one of his sons. For Libyans to rise up against Gaddafi takes staggering courage and determination. This, Libyans are now doing, and for this they are right now being massacred.
Gaddafi does not allow the kind of international media presence that recently flooded Egypt. Libyans are smuggling out reports by phone and internet — as they can, at great risk, when the lines aren't being cut, as some have been. From the U.S., a leading human rights activist, Mohamed Eljahmi, has been sending out bulletins and appealing for support for the people of Libya. Eljahmi knows what he's talking about. His late brother, once Libya's leading democratic dissident, Fathi Eljahmi, died in 2009 in the custody of Gaddafi's secret police, after years of imprisonment, isolation, medical neglect and Soviet-style application of abusive "psychiatry."

"What help is on the way for the people of Libya? Not nearly enough."
Well, I'm sorry, but the Libyan people DID keep this guy in power for 41 years, right? When are we going to stop intervening in every miserable country on this planet? The Libyans are going to have to fight hard, and possibly die for, their freedom. Believe it or not, the country with most at stake in Libya's problem is Italy. Italy is directly north of Libya and a collapse of the Libyan government could mean literally thousands of refugees flooding into that country by boat. And what exactly would replace Muammar Gaddafi if he is eliminated? And, trust me, Gaddafi is going to have to be killed. he is insane and is NOT going to go away quietly to some other arab country. If Gaddafi is killed, figure on yet another Islamic theocracy springing up, with a lot of refugees trying to get out. The entire region is falling like a house of cards and the west is NOT prepared for any of this. The only people that are seem to be the mullahs.February 20, 2011 - 1:13 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

You say that as if Gaddafi was elected and re-elected in free and fair democratic elections every few years since 1969. The fact is that he seized power in a coup that desposed King Idris. He soon emerged as the leading and then, effectively, the only voice of the group of military officers that overthrew the King. As far as I can tell, there have been no elections of a kind that we would recognize since 1969. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_LibyaFebruary 20, 2011 - 1:30 pm Link to this Comment | Reply
So, what's your point, Henry? So they didn't have any elections since 1969. Wouldn't you think that by say, oh, year 20 of this guy's reign that the people of Libya knew they had a problem? Freedom is not free. I get sick and tired of people around the world thinking that the United States can just hand them freedom on a silver plate. And I get even more disgusted when people think that, just because they've overthrown a dictator (as in Egypt), that they will automatically have a successful democracy or republic. It takes work, A LOT of work, and these people have to understand that. Russia is a classic example of what happens when you don't defend democratic principles. They overthrew the Soviet Union, had some very brief democracy, and now are ruled by Putin, who is basically a dictator. Who knows, Putin could also be the next czar, depending on who he wants to succeed him. So democracy is NOT a guaranteed thing. You have to fight, and maybe even die, for it in order to keep it. And the rest of the world has to understand that uncomfortable fact, or else they will simply trade one Gaddafi for another.February 21, 2011 - 4:15 am Link to this Comment | Reply
You make good points. Those who underestimate how difficult it is to create and sustain a true democracy are also likely to be those who discount the notion of American exceptionalism.

Debka has it as partly an ethnic or regional battle, with local authorities in the Benghazi area and more defecting to the dissidents. This seems to jibe with the speech by Qaddafi's son Seif who talked about foreign plots to divide the country into Islamic statelets. Of course, he mentioned Israel.
I think Qaddafi is in deep trouble. He will kill thousands if necessary, or he may not get the chance to kill that many.February 20, 2011 - 9:30 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

It may take a lot more than that to bring an end to more than 40 years of Gaddafi's murderous rule, but Libyans are right now sacrificing themselves in exactly that cause. Who will help?
Certainly not the United States, unless perhaps there's a strong prospect of Islamists succeeding Gaddafi in power. Obama failed to offer even verbal support for the Green Revolution in Iran in 2009 and only offered tepid support to anti-Mubarak demonstrators when it appeared that Mubarak might be replaced by a government controlled or dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood.
3. Elli Davis
The positive news is that Gaddafi has to rely on foreign troops to maintain order in his own country which I think is a good opportunity for the Libyan people to push harder and force the military to collaborate with them.February 20, 2011 - 1:38 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

According to Iranian Press TV, "Libya's Muammar Gaddafi has left his country for Venezuela or Brazil, as protests calling on him to step down have turned violent, a report says."
I guess it's possible; he would fit right in Venezuela, to which he sent a tent for el Thugo Chavez to sleep in when part of the Presidential Palace was temporarily used to house Caracas residents whose homes (such as they were) were destroyed by floods last year; it was a nice gesture even though I don't know whether el Thugo ever slept there. Gaddafi seems really to like el Thugo and attended a summit between South America and Africa in Margarita, Venezuela. Maybe Gaddafi can reclaim the tent so graciously donated for el Thugo's use and sleep in it as he helps the Cubans train the Venezuelan military.February 20, 2011 - 5:05 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Gaddafi has treated the Libyan people like an old dog that has finally had enough of being kicked and beaten and is finally biting/fighting back.
Good for them.
As for whom will help – probably anyone with interests in that country – and that is a very short list other than the citizens of Libya.
Personally I hope they treat Gaddafi with the same respect other former leaders have gotten – Mussolini comes to mind for some reason…
And my God – he's one ugly sumbitch!
It's too bad Reagan's air raid in the 80′s didn't get him – but that was more of a 'shot across the bow' designed to get his attention than an effort to 'take him out'.

Mubarak was not a democrat. A lot of people thought he was a really bad guy. Maybe he was. But compared to what is happening in Libya and Iran, he was a softie. In the context of the Middle East/North Africa, he WAS a moderate. Really bad people don't send a few camels through the public square, give a few dopey speeches, then resign. They bring out tanks (see Tiananmen, Syria, Czechoslovakia, etc.) and kill people in the hundreds. Dictators around the world are taking note.

Agreed. They don't. Meanwhile, Obama is doing everything in his power to undermine American stability. Friends of mine fear for our ability to survive, but I look around and think that Israel is relatively decent, relatively stable and full of the right kind of faith. I look back at California, hi-tech and all, and see a place where the fault lines are breaking apart.

How else does one explain Obama's absolute silence on Libya, Tunisia, Iran, Jordan, Bahrain, et al…. I blame Bush! The Arabs, Persians, et al, actually believe if they revolt America will join them in over throwing their tyrrants.

TRAINING CAMP 2009: NT Jenkins Injured
By Sean M. Deegan
Publisher, Jets Insider.com
August 1st, 2009
A hush fell over Cortland stadium this morning when NT Kris Jenkins hobbled off the field and into the lockerroom with an apparent leg injury.
JetsInsider.com spoke to Jenkins just minutes ago outside the locker room and he told us that he strained his calf while pushing off his leg during a pass rush drill.
"I immediately felt it," said Jenkinns who then slowly walked off the field into the locker room intentionally trying not to put weight on the leg.
"I heard a pop, pop," said Jenkins. "It's a tight muscle, but I'm fine. I'll be back in a few days."
Jenkins will sit out for at least a few days and get treatment. He's told reporters that he's never had calf issues before.
"I'm 30 now so these things happen," said the burly nose tackle.

Coral Atlas - the cause of natureCoral Atlas was an identity born on Second Life and in real life I am Carl Leitz
However I, Carl decided to extend my Second Life identity to encompass everything I do in real life. Thus Coral Atlas became both my alias and my internet brand name as well as my pen name as a writer, an artist or as a proponent for massive planet wide societal change and insurrection aka change for the better.
I, Coral Atlas identify myself personally with the causes of preserving, repairing, restoring and embellishing upon nature by emphasizing environment conservation ecology education science technology and related subjects and causes where ever my presence is felt which presently is mostly on the internet ..
By simply reminding everyone I come into contact with that nature is the sole and primary source of all life and represents the solution to all that ails humankind.
The conflict that humans have yet to resolve is that between NEED and WANT.
Nature provides ALL that is needed to live and be happy yet humans dispute over who gets what and selfishly how much they get as individuals. This is worsened by the addition of WANT for unneeded items to what is needed to live causing humans to effectively indirectly and directly destroy one another as individuals and as groups aka religious, national, political, gender, age, race and societies.
Profit totally and destructively represents WANT which is promoted by the false science of economics. There is absolutely no justification for the economic inequality that capitalism and capitalists thrive upon. We Americans and many of our allies have all totally and without deliberation embraced the ideas of capitalism, in large part involuntarily and unknowingly by the coercion of a corporate society constructed, influenced and controlled (the media) by capitalism and the conventional wisdom that is used to manipulate the public opinion of the mass of humans.
The "message" the mass of humans are fed constantly is created and controlled by those very few who have in most cases been mistakenly empowered by 7+ billion humans as the representatives of human society. In truth those who represent humanity are empowered by the power & wealth of influence peddlers who manipulate the majority of peeps with massive amounts of media aka capitalist aka corporate propaganda.
Wars and pollution and the destruction of nature are the ultimate and most damaging acts that we human beings aka peeps routinely are encouraged by the capitalists to engage in ..... yet despite being confused by the media propaganda most of us human beings ultimately disagree with such acts as war and pollution and economic inequality.
Capitalism would have us (all humans) believe that equality (nature) is evil and that human beings need to be motivated by need to work (for others via jobs). In fact human beings are motivated by life itself to work. Without effort AKA WORK there is no life; no food to eat or water to drink nor shelter or clothing to protect humans against changes in climate.
JOBS are a form of SLAVERY creates by the want for profit that perpetuates inequality, injustice and financial slavery. Without want, consumption and waste capitalism cannot exist and profits cannot be made.
It's impossible to find anything on our planet earth that sustains life that is not related to and wholly dependent upon nature!
We humans first and foremost are disregarding nature yet are the most vulnerable to the adverse effects that we are wholly responsible for that diminish natures innate ability to sustain life.
Thanks to the propaganda of the very institutions we've created most of 7 billion human beings are unaware and have false perceptions of what is normal, right or wrong.
Nature is all about life. And we humans are part of all living creatures.
When nothing lives there is no nature.
OR no nature, no life.
Therefor we humans must know nature. We humans must protect, preserve and restore nature.

If you wish to contribute financial help and/or add your personal efforts to my own efforts please write me personally at firstname.lastname@example.com and introduce yourself so we may know and understand one another. There is much to be done and in order to succeed we must create the largest most powerful group of unified human beings on the planet earth. That begins one human being at a time. I would like to be among the first to establish this group. My initial goal is 1,000 human beings in 100 days.
The world can and will ultimately be changed by individuals who agree with each other on the solution embedded in NATURE. AND take action to evoke meaningful and rapid change for the better.
Nature requires nothing more than our effort aka WORK as human beings for ALL life on the planet to thrive and to provide all that is needed to insure health happiness and freedom for all life from physical harm and mental strife.
Join me in this effort to eradicate such travesties as war, hunger, disease, famine, draught, pestilence, inequality, slavery, injustice and more ...
Nature is the simple and only solution. It is OUR cause as human beings.

How to develop a passive income posting ads on the internetThe cost of a domain name is as little as nothing if you make some commitments to certain Internet Service providers. Once you've registered a name, even for little or nothing, you've unknowingly begun a financial journey that inevitably leads to spending more money or abandoning the name.
However the best domain names are already registered as a result of the dot com boom. Occasionally you can pick up a premium name that falls thru the cracks and is inadvertently dropped by someone who has lost interest or doesn't understand the potential of a name.
Here are a few guides I use personally for understanding the potential of a domain name.
Domain names that are ten characters or less have relatively more potential for appreciation than longer names. Shorter is better than longer. Short meaningful names are more easily remembered.
Domain names that have intrinsic meaning to a broad audience have greater potential for branding and for generating cash flow.
Commonly known & used keywords as components(syllables) of domain names add potential value.
The top level domain extension .COM is the most widely used and preferable to many of the recent deluge of vanity extensions. Physicians.com is better than physicians.physicians or physicians.doctor or .MD or whatever.
Thru use the .COM TLD (top level domain) brand has had hundreds of billions of dollars invested in it's perpetuation. When you have a domain name that is meaningless to peeps at large ... you have to invest much more capital in creating & developing the brand. Developing a list of prospects or customers and then getting them to visit JoeBlow.md is not as easy and natural as DrBlow.com or DrJoeBlow.com. The .MD TLD requires marketing which costs money and is not as familiar as .COM. Billions has been invested in the .COM brand already by hundreds of millions of domain name owners aka registrants.
This brief introduction to domain names is designed to convince you that investing in a premium .COM TLD name can generate revenues much faster and in greater amounts than the new vanity TLD's given intelligent business planning and a viable product or service to brand, market and sell.
Premium .COM names have popular broadly recognized keywords ... ideally no more than one, two or three keywords as syllables in the name.
Thus for example Aquarium.com is theoretically better than the plural Aquariums.com which is better than Aquariumfish.com.
All three of these names have branding potential however. Here is a list of appraisals of four (4) related names. These values cannot be taken too seriously but are useful as a benchmark of their relative value.
Observe that the relationship between pay per click values and the appraisals are inconsistent - as well as the SERP (search engine results pages). Most of the following names I am offering have attracted over 10 advertisers which is a healthy indicator ... the demand for a keyword(s) increases the cost per click bids made by advertisers. A portion of the cost per click paid by advertisers becomes the EPC or earnings per click for publishers aka website owners.
Taking into consideration that very little SEO (search engine optimization) has been implemented for these names and the associated sites are still organic (organic means that visitor traffic flows to the domain site naturally) their potential future cash flow value becomes apparent.
See the drop down menu bar (top of this page) for lists of my available premium domain names with websites.
Good luck! To inquire email coralatlas at freefish dot com

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The 2002 harvest was one of the finest growing seasons in the last decade. Average rainfall,
moderate temperatures and consistent weather patterns during the year created the perfect scenario for the fruit to ripen
and reach full maturity. The wines from this vintage exhibit depth and intensity of flavors, vivid colors, and
well-developed tannin structure.

Preparing for a bear market
Investors rushing to funds designed for success in a down market. Could the end of the market rally be near?
JPMorgan Chase and Pacific Investment Management say that people are following the lead of hedge funds and preparing for the end of the stock market rally.
So far this year, they have put about $10 billion into mutual funds designed to protect against falling stock prices, according to Bloomberg. That's more than twice the amount that flowed into these funds in 2006, which was the previous record.
The funds' rising popularity shows how skeptical small investors remain even after the Standard & Poor's 500 Index recouped almost half the 57 percent loss incurred from October 2007 to the March 2009 low.
The most popular fund is reportedly Hussman Strategic Growth (HSGFX), which attracted $1.7 billion through September. That was almost matched by JPMorgan's Highbridge Statistical Market Neutral Fund (HSKAX).
Pimco's Fundamental Advantage Total Return Fund (PFATX) has received about $786 million.
Long-short funds will, as the name suggests, sell some stocks short but remain long on others. Long-short funds generally have more longs, while bear-market funds have more shorts.

Load balancing with the Apache http server
Balancing Act
Today's web performance and availability requirements make load balancing indispensable. In this article, we show you how to set up an effective load balancing system using features built into the Apache web server.
A multitude of technologies support load balancing for web servers. Load balancers come in all shapes and sizes, from simple DNS-based techniques through vast and versatile proprietary systems. In some cases, however, the load balancing features you need might be available already through the Apache web server. In this article, I describe some strategies for load balancing with Apache.
The schematic in Figure 1 shows the underlying structure of a software-based balancing system. In this scenario, several front-end load balancers accept incoming user requests and distribute them to a pool of back-end servers on the basis of a predefined scheme. Multiple individual systems can run in parallel to provide a fail-safe (shown in the background in Figure 1). Apache includes a number of modules for supporting load balancing (Table 1), and you'll need to make sure any modules you intend to use are loaded:
LoadModule xyz_module modules/mod_xyz.so
As you can see in Table 1, Apache's basic load balancing capabilities include features such as caching, compression, URL rewriting, and header processing. Some of the modules in Table 1 are loaded by default.
Consult your own Apache configuration for more on which modules might already be present on your system.
If JServ-capable application servers, such as Apache Tomcat or Jetty, are used, the gateway can also use the Apache JServ Protocol (ajp). All you need to do is load the mod_proxy_ajp module instead of mod_proxy_http and change the URLs from http:// to ajp://.
The use of this binary-format protocol offers a couple of advantages with regard to back-end connection performance and lower resource overheads, but this functionality is bought at the price of more permanent connections to the back ends.
Incidentally, you can run ajp and http back ends at the same time as members of the same pool. For the sake of completeness, keep in mind also that Apache supports ftp proxy with the mod_proxy_ftp module.
For additional details, check out the Apache http server documentation [2].
The sample configuration shown in Listing 1 includes the basic front-end server settings for load balancing in Apache.
Listing 1
Sample Configuration
01 ProxyRequests Off 02 ProxyVia Off 03 04 ProxyPreserveHost On 05 ProxyErrorOverride On 06 07 ProxyTimeout 30 08 09 <Proxy balancer://pool> 10 BalancerMember http://server1:8080 \ 11 min=10 max=50 loadfactor=2 12 13 BalancerMember http://server2:8080 \ 14 min=5 max=25 loadfactor=1 15 </Proxy> 16 17 ProxyPass /shop balancer://pool1 \ 18 lbmethod=byrequests \ 19 nofailover=Off maxattempts=3 \ 20 stickysession=PHPSESSIONID
This configuration starts with ProxyRequests to disable the normal proxy mode and setting up what is known as a reverse proxy, or gateway, to be more precise. Disabling Via headers (ProxyVia) makes the gateway invisible.
The ProxyPreserveHost and ProxyErrorOverride commands ensure that the host headers included in the request are passed on to the back ends and that any error messages generated by the back ends are replaced by the load balancer and thus standardized. The output of a suitable timeout, with ProxyTimeout, rounds off the basic configuration.
The core definition, that of a back-end pool and its members, is handled by a Proxy container and the specification of a special balancer:// schema followed by the pool name. The BalancerMember instructions and parameters in the container specify the individual members along with their properties.
At the end of the configuration, the back-end pool defined previously is assigned a separate URL space; more parameters define the load balancer's generic approach. To enable regular expressions, you could use the advanced ProxyPassMatch command instead of ProxyPass.
As an alternative, the rewrite module (mod_rewrite) and custom rules would unleash the full power of regular expressions. However, in this case, you will need to use ProxySet because load balancer parameters cannot be modified by rules:
ProxySet balancer://pool1 lbmethod=bytraffic ... RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/+(.*)$balancer://pool1/$1 [P,L]
Listing 1 thus defines two back-end servers for pool1. Requests are distributed on the basis of the number of requests (see the lbmethod parameter). The load factor setting assigns twice as many requests to server1 compared with server2. Connections are reused but also restricted to a maximum value. The URL space is defined as the complete URL space below /shop.
Table 2 provides a summary of the most common ProxyPass and BalancerMember commands. For more information, see the Apache http server documentation [2].
The Apache http server's proxy module (mod_proxy) provides an unbelievable range of special settings. Tools are available for many different scenarios. For example, you can use the status parameter to operate a hot standby server:
BalancerMember http://server4:1080... status=+H
This command specifies that server4 is only enabled if all the remaining pool members fail.
This server is the last line of defense and can be used to serve up a restricted version of a web application or to forward requests to a substitute system.

Police release sketch of suspect sought in Amity case
Jul 31, 2014
By Paul Daquilante
Of the News-Register
He was described as a slender, 5-foot-5 Latino male in his 20s, clean-shaven and sporting a dragon tattoo on his left forearm. Capt. Dennis Marks of the McMinnville police gave this account of the incident:
The intruder tried to grab a member of an Amity family and a struggle ensued. After sustaining an injury to his lower left abdomen, the intruder jumped into a red or maroon 1990s SUV, possibly a Chevrolet Blazer.
The SUV was driven by a man accompanied by a woman. It sped north on Highway 99W.
The incident was reported about 1 p.m. by a third party. Amity and McMinnville police were joined by sheriff's deputies and Oregon State Police in responding.
Investigators closed Highway 99W between Rice Lane and Rosedell Avenue for about three hours before clearing the scene. Traffic was routed around.
Amity and McMinnville police said members of the family had been threatened and assaulted multiple times in recent days. They said they had already been working the case for about a week prior to the Wednesday confrontation.
Anyone with information about the case, the suspect or the suspect's whereabouts are asked to call McMinnville police detective Hugo Cerda at 503-435-5616 or Amity Police Chief Dan Brown at 503-835-8606.
