Our Board of Commissioners have narrowed the choices for Clayton's police chief down to three candidates to replace former police chief Jeff Turner.
As per the AJC, Assistant Chief of Police John E. Pearson Sr. has served the Hogansville Police Department since March 2009. The former DeKalb county assistant police chief is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree at Columbus State University. Pearson, who is married to WSB-TV anchor Monica Pearson, could not be reached for a comment.
Although Deputy Police Chief Gregory Porter has worked with the CCPD for 22 years, he has been an active member of the Clayton county community for 30 years, serving on several boards ranging from school based youth programs to addressing issues and concerns with the elderly, among many other community based initiatives.
"It will be my intention to improve the response time of calls for service while increasing the level of customer service from every aspect. This will be accomplished by implementing a more proactive approach focusing on reducing crime by utilizing various proven law enforcement methods," says Porter. "Continuing to foster community involvement, as well as, seeking new partnerships, will be the most significant aspect surrounding my new and improved "community oriented policing model"."
Interim Police Chief Timothy R. Robinson has served the CCPD for 28 years in various capacities. Robinson, who has held the position since December 2009 when Jeff Turner was fired, could not be reached for a comment.
The BOC has not stated when the new police chief will be named. But based on these candidates, who would you choose and why? What qualities will you expect from Clayton's new police chief? Is there someone else who you think should be considered for the position?

Cheif Turner should have never been unceremoniously dumped not once but twice so far.

I agree Turner should have never been let go, but Porter is no joke and he's not a puppet ether.
August 16th, 2010
6:42 pm
All 3 candidates will just be used as a puppet for the BOC. Chief Robinson has already made several decisions that have dramatically reduced morale at CCPD. Experienced officers are looking to leave ASAP. Just another blow to Clayton County.
August 16th, 2010
6:49 pm
In my honest opinion, Timothy R. Robinson is the best man for the job. If the Officers don't agree with his decisions, thats the reason that he be the boss and Chief of Police. Changing diapers should not be part of his job as our Chief.
August 16th, 2010
6:50 pm
I agree Turner should still be chief, but Porter is no joke and he is not a puppet ether.

We need strong leaders. Someone who is going to bring justice to the citizens of Clayton County. We need a Chief who will do what is right, not bend over and take it.

Wow John Pearson has zero vote, good thing he married well LOL

I don't see how it will matter with any of the above. Until our county government improve from the top, a new police chief will be about as effective as a sterile man humping a hussy in heat.
August 16th, 2010

I don't see Jeff Turner's name on the list, to be considered, for Chief; Where did his name come from ?
August 16th, 2010
9:20 pm
Yes, Turner needs to be back, however it will never happen. Porter is no where ready for this job. Robinson has been the next yes man, and unfortunately, that is what the commissioners are looking for. So if they chose Porter, sobeit.

It doesn't matter who's chief if the politicians keep running the police department. @ 0 confidence you are def right.

Interim Police Chief Timothy R. Robinson has served the CCPD for 28 years in various capacities. Robinson, who has held the position since December 2009 when Jeff Turner was fired. This is the man who should keep the job! Think about it, things aren't that bad now! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, crime is up but it's up "EVERYWHERE"! Let Chief Robinson run it until he screws up; in the "PUBLIC'S EYE" not CCBOC eyes; they're crooked! Timothy R. Robinson police the entire county, not just the politicially astute areas! That's where Jeff lost!
August 16th, 2010
11:57 pm
I'm glad Jeff Turner is out. He was a "Politician" not a "REAL" police chief. Maybe he should run for politicial offices in Clayton! Now, he knows what the old saying means, " what goes around, come around"!

Clayton County is very fortunate to have two great candidates for its next Chief Of Police in Interim Chief Of Police Timothy R. Robinson and Deputy Chief Of Police Of Field Operations Command Gregory Porter.
Either one would make a great Chief Of Police of the Clayton County Police Department.
Only one however can be the next Chief Of Police so the question is who is the best candidate who can lead our great Police Department to even higher levels of success, achievement, and honor, build on the successes that the Police Department have already obtained and achieved, and will correct areas of deficiences, underperformance, and less than stellar work within some areas of the Police Department.
Both Tim Robinson and Greg Porter bring significant strengths in terms of their experience, educational backgrounds, additional police training, completion and graduation from the Federal Bureau Of Investigation's National Academy which serves as a training ground for Police Officers who aspire to be Chief Of Police. More of their accomplishments, accolades, honors, recognitions, and achievements can be read by clicking on the links provided by the blogmaster Ms. Kimberly Allen within her blog topic article.
So it really comes to who is the best candidate who as our next Chief Of Police will make the very hard and tough decision that will come when he reorganizes the department and reassigns people to the right areas and departments that will exercise their strengths and their effectiveness as they carry out the next Chief Of Police's vision, outline, goals, and plan of action for the Clayton County Police Department in reducing crime, perserving the quality of life for all of Clayton County residents and citizens, and making this county a very safe, secure, and peaceful place to live.
It comes down to which candidate can best connect with the citizens and residents of Clayton County, some of which who do not trust the police officers in the Clayton County Police Department in building bridges and restoring trust, confidence, and faith that these residents want to have with the police officers and also with the entire Clayton County Police Department and the leaders who will lead the department.
It comes down to which candidate is the most ethical, honest, trustworthy, sincere, and who will have transparency and openness in the Clayton County Police Department
It comes down to which candidate will connect and work with the other local (Clayton County Sheriff's Department, and the other Police Departments in the cities within Clayton County), state, and federal law enforcement agencies, the general public as a whole, neighborhood programs, the faith based communities, and the Clayton County School System.
It comes down to which candidate will further build upon, enhance, and improve upon the Neighborhood Patrol Policing System by the Clayton County Police Officers started by Clayton County's previous Chief Of Police Jeffrey E. Turner when he became Chief Of Police three-and-one-half years ago which has been a very successful policing system that is designed to have the police department partner with and connect to the citizens, residents, business owners, homeowner associations, schools, and others in Clayton County to address head on, crime and criminal activity by knowing the beat or zone areas to which the police officer is assigned and getting to know the people and businesses in that area and having the people know the police officer. Because of this powerful and great policing system, the community and businesses will know who their police officer is and this relationship empowers the citizens and business owners to know and be aware of what is going on in their area and they will be more likely to call their police officer for any suspicious or criminal activity or activities that they witness or see.
It comes down to which candidate will work best with the Clayton County Board Of Commissioners and will respect and carry out their collective vision for crime reduction and having a Police Department that is supremely and efficiently run, manages its resources and its man and woman power well, maximizes its monetary budget approved by the Clayton County Board Of Commissioners on a yearly basis, give strong, powerful, and great leadership of the department and who will make the very tough, hard, and necessary decisions needed to ensure that the Clayton County Police Department will always work and perform at its very best level.
Lastly, it comes down to which candidate as Chief Of Police will work the hardest, is the best dedicated and committed, commands respect, not afraid, timid, or hesitant to take quick, decisive, and swift actions when needed without fear, has the very best drive, desire, energy, enthusiasm, intelligence, know-how, work ethic, love, passion and spirit for the job and leader of the entire Clayton County Police Department, zeal, power, leadership skills and abilities, charisma, personality, devotion, superior skills and abilities to inspire, motivate, and lead all the police officers to positive actions in keeping the residents and citizens of Clayton County safe, secure, and protected, and who will be able to get positive results from all who are under his command, power, and authority.
Out of the two candidates for the Chief Of Police of the Clayton County Police Department, one candidate is an excellent candidate with impressive credentials, training, education, and leadership skills and in any other county or city of Clayton County's comparable size, he would make a very fine and excellent Chief Of Police of that county or city.

Robinson, take your pension and run like hell! You are too good a man to get mired in this cesspool. You seem to be the best man on paper, but I doubt if you have the stomach for the political infighting and back-stabbing that comes with this job. I doubt if the new chief will last 3 years ( better get a contract) unless he's a total puppet.

This nonsense about being a "Yes Man" is silly and immature.We don't want another Victor Hill as our Chief of Police in Clayton County and the BOC as the power to stop this from happening.The Sheriff is elected and he is protected because he is constitutional official in this county, the Chief is not. The Chief has to answer for his actions, misconduct, his statements to the public and press, and his overall performance to the BOC. The Chief is another paid employee of the county. Disrespect, to our elected officials and our citizens, should not be tolerated by county employees at no time.

Why is the Pearson man even being considered as a viable candidate? He is just now pursuing a bachelors degree after all of his years in law enforcement? That is a joke, considering he wants to lead a large complex police department. Must be a whimsical deisre. He has sure not put in the expectd academic work yet. Quite frankly none of these are guys are strong candidates. This process seems to have a lot of local flavor; which tends to ignore truly well qualified objective candidates from being hired. Start over…

Clayton County had an excellent Police Chief. The goofball commissioners chose to fire him. The County continues to be a laughing stock.
August 17th, 2010
11:15 am
I totally agree 100 Percent with The Evaluator's comments and posting that Greg Porter is the very best man for the job as Clayton County's next Chief Of Police.
Greg Porter is a great police officer, an ethical and moral person of great character and integrity, and will serve the Clayton County citizens well as Chief Of Police.
Greg Porter is a great leader who as the Number Two guy in the Clayton County Police Department under previous chief Jeff Turner and present Interim Chief Tim Robinson served his position well, respected the decisions that these two made, showed them both great loyality, if had an opinion of a better way of doing things, knew his place and offered his opinions when asked, never publically nor privately portrayed himself in an unfavorable light, always respected the power, authority, and command that came with his position as Deputy Chief, and was a very superior, capable, accessible, out-going, friendly, personable, Deputy Chief who had an open door policy to any and all Clayton County Citizens, Residents, and any other person who needed his help on any policing issues, problems, or concerns of the police officers under his command and authority and would not only hear your concerns, but would devise a plan of action and would implement that plan and would get back to you to see if his plan of action is working and is providing success and addressing and solving the problem or complaint and would readjust the plan of action if necessary if it was not providing the desired results.
Greg Porter will hold everyone under him accountable, responsible, and answerable for their actions, conduct, and behavior and will make sure that all will follow, adhere to, and obey all of the laws, rules, regulations, policies, and procedures that govern the Clayton County Police Department and as The Evaluator stated, will take swift, quick, immediate, and decisive actions for those police officers who choose not to.
Greg Porter is a very strong but fair leader who himself not break, bend, or violate the rules, regulations, policies, procedures, or laws that govern his behavior as Chief Of Police (positive thinking as the decision has not been made yet) as he will have some very tough, hard, and difficult decisions to make in reorganizing the command structure of the Police Department.
Tim Robinson is also a man of impeccable and exemplary qualities and would also make an excellent police chief.
However, in my opinion, Tim Robinson's skills, abilities, personality, temperament, nature, character, qualities, and overall talents as a Chief Of Police would best be suited in counties that are rural, smaller, not urbanized, and stable in terms of the population makeup, with controlled growth such as Fayette County, Coweta County, Forysth County, and Clayton County of years back in the 1970's, 1980's and even in the first half of the 1990's until the Olympics which brought a dramatic shift and change to Clayton County with massive population increases, a change in the counties' demographics, socioeconomic status, income average, and the overall change of Clayton County's status from a quiet, rural, peaceful, majority homeowner owned houses, relaxed county (much like Fayette County execept the income level of its residents was not as high as in Fayette County) to an urbanized, overcrowded, and in many areas, a crime ridden county that is now full of renters, Section 8 People, other undesirables, and a county that is majority renters and has a transient and constantly moving population of people.
The way Clayton County is right now with massive overcrowding, its urbanization, its present majority population of people, its current status as a place for renters, it being a home for the Section 8 Population of people with the massive decrease of property values in its homes, instability in general and the constant problems that occur on a regular basis, divided Clayton County Board Of Commissioners (Wole Ralph, Sonna Singleton, and Gail Hambrick on one side which constitutes the majority voting and decision making power on the Commission and Eldrin Bell and Michael Edmondson which are in the minority two) makes the choice very clear, obvious, and evident that there is only man that as The Evaluator stated is the very best man for the job of the next Chief Of Police of the Clayton County Police Department who will be successful and will carry the department to new heights of success, accomplishments, achievements, and will get great, positive, and powerful results for all under his command, authority, and leadership and that man is GREGORY PORTER.

The Choice is obvious…Greg Porter…the reason…Community Orientated. Chief Robinson is not a public figure that interacts well with the Citizens. I have been to the community meetings and observed Greg Porter take over the Q & A sessions where Robinson would stay mum. We need community based leaders and in my opinion, Porter is it.
August 17th, 2010

Chief Porter is the best man for the position of Chief of Police for Clayton County. I have seen his face in the community SEVERAL TIMES OVER…..can't say that for the other candidates. I question their ability or willingness to serve the people of this county. You can't be scared to come into the heart of the community if you are going to genuinely and proudly serve the people. Porter is the man….he's hands on in the community, committed to involve himself in every aspect and that makes me proud. There are some candidates who have not embraced every corner of this county…..except for Morrow and Lake Spivey….I wonder why?????? BUT WE REALLY ALL KNOW THE ANSWER!!!!!

Why are the Commissioners still hiring? I thought we were under a hiring freeze, but oh no, tonight they went and approved about 8 new county positions, PLUS they still have yet to hire a new Chief of Police. Where is the money coming from? Didn't they close the Police Academy under the supposition that county funds were very tight. What about the 5 Academy employees let go (including the former Chief of Police)? I smell a rat…

Evaluator, you took half page to say what everyone else knows……Robinson won't get the job BECAUSE he's white. While that doesn't help him, a white candidate with more charisma and dynamic leadership ability could overcome that, he doesn't seem to be that guy. He may win on paper but personality wise does not seem to be a good fit. Porter seems to be the annointed one and perhaps not a bad selection, but just wait until he exercises any independence or exibits a strong ethical or moral compass……….honeymoon over!

If Greg Porter becomes the chief of Clayton County, God help us all!! Remember my words! What is with the people in this county? Can you for once look for some substance. Let's encourage the county to start a new search to identify candidates with proven track records of reducing crime somewhere. Have them present the community with a plan for reducing and preventing crime. Stop going for the okie-doke people and taking personality over substance. I don't want a grinning jokester, I want an effective chief and don't care what race he belongs to!!

In my own opinion; Greg Porter's dedication to his religious duties,while serving as a Deacon Church in his Church, in College Park, may play a role in how well he would enforce crime in this county, as Chief. Most of problems with crime is enforcing our current laws and next comes the lack of prosecuting the criminals. In the past, our Clayton County system of justice failed to do their and when many Clayton County Police went to court, they would be totally ignored. Did the Chief follow up on this ? The answer is NO. We need a Chief will stand up for the Officers, to our Magistrate Judge, and ask Why spend the time for an arrest, only to see the criminals go free.
I just don't think that Porter is up this kind of task.
August 19th, 2010

You may as well be having a pool on who gets the job. As the public, you will have no say in it. This is one of the perks of living in this county. No responsibility on your part, no accountability on the commission's part.

You said – "In my own opinion; Greg Porter's dedication to his religious duties,while serving as a Deacon Church in his Church, in College Park, may play a role in how well he would enforce crime in this county, as Chief."
What do his religious duties have to do with Porter possibly becoming Chief and performing his duties? May I ask if you have issues with the founders and their beliefs and how they administered the founding of this country? Hmmm I think it was the religious beliefs of the founders that helped shape the Constitution.
Why don't you really be honest and say why you feel Porters religious beliefs could affect his managing Clayco PD……we won't Dr.Laura you. LOL!!

The readers of the blog topic of the week on the candidate that they want to be the next Police Chief of the Clayton County Police Department are speaking very loud and very clear with their vote.
As of the writing of this posting, with 139 Votes cast, Greg Porter is by far the overwhelming choice for the next Police Chief of the Clayton County Police Department with 55 Percent of the vote total with twice the number of votes as the voters second choice.

@DoubleAction – Are you sure you aren't a politician? You dodged my question better than Neyo dodged that bullet in the Matrix.
Tell us how you really feel. Let us know that you don't think Porter has his own mind because he's been around Turner so long. Tell us you are scared that he thinks like Turner regarding gun laws. Come on man, please share with us. I promised you we won't Dr. Laura you!!! =)

Just Wondering,
I would tell you that Mr Porter or Mr. Robertson would do a fine job as Chief in Clayton County. The decision must be difficult for the Commissioners as both Candidates are good and upstanding.
Both will express their best intent to the Commissioners when asked and volunteer their true opinion when not asked. Both have always had the best interest of the County and her Citizens above personal gain. Neither of these two candidates will be a push-over for the Commission.
Both will fight tooth and nail for dwindling resources required for the Department. Both will use what they have available to affect change, as much as they can.
I don't know enough about Mr. Pearson to offer an opinion but I am aware that the Pearsons have been showing up in Clayton County circles in the pas 18 months. Circles that i don't think are well-intentioned for the County. I don't intend for this to denegrate Mr. Pearson or his character one iota, just an opinion.
Regardless of the appointee it is up to each and every Citizen to cooperate with the Police. Report suspicious activity. Report things even if you are unsure they are suspicious. If something seems out of place, if something just makes you glance out of the corner of your eye for a split second, it's suspicious. Call the Police. They are glad to come out, you can remain anonymous when you call. Better an ounce of prevention.

Rock : " Neither of these two candidates will be a push-over for the Commission."
Rock; Our County Commissioners are Elected Officials in our county, The Chief Police is not. If the Clayton County Police Chief did what our previous Sheriff did, wouldn't you want the County Commission to nip it at the bud, before things escalated ?
If any pushing is go on, I had rather it be by our elected officials.
Our Proprieties should be display respect in our chain of Government in Clayton County.

StraightNoChaser : (( Tell us you are scared that he thinks like Turner regarding gun laws.))
The Chief of The Clayton County Police Department has absolutely nothing to do with our State or Federal Laws nor does have nothing to do with our U.S. Constitution or our State Constitution. His job is to enforce our laws, not to criticize our laws.

Oh, my fault. Didn't know we were selecting 8th grade president, thought we were looking for a competent police chief. Who in their right mind would select a chief based on feedback from a frigging blog!! I hope Greg Porter is selected. Afterall it's the most appropriate choice for a county that gave Victor Hill some 40 percent of the vote in recent elections and re-elected Sandra Scott. If nothing else, folks here are consistent. Wow, in-frigging-credible!!!

Thanks to the Solicitor General of Clayton county – we again see the petty foolish actions of the 3 stooges on the BOC. Apparently none of these 3 fools can read. They do not understand their jobs or their limits of office. They seem to be from the Obamanation school of the govt knows better – and how dare you question the ruling class. Their antics will – sooner or later – lead to even more lawsuits against the county. Taxpayers – start saving your pennies. It is nice to see Mr Baskin is not a vindictive man, but is a commendable public servant.

Wise words Sergeant Rock but be vigalant. One day after the chosing, an unholy trinty coming from the East, North, and South will attempt to sway the Chief. Behind them, invisible, will be a fourth, whispering.
He will be tempted by this alliance, he will be threatened, his funding will held in the balance or worse yet, the set-up will be played against him.
He must be strong, supported by all, to have the strength to overcome the THREE and the FOURTH one that will throw everything in his pathway to destroy him or have him do their bidding.

I hope the commission of Clayton County chose the right candidate for the position of chief of police and that person is Greg Porter. The citizens of Clayton County will be better served by a person who truly cares about the department and the community as a whole. Mr. Porter is a man above reproach with remarkable character and integrity, and yes God fearing. We need someone in this position who cares about the department and it's officers as well as the community.
Chief Porter has proven his skills and abilities to lead this department to it's full potential. This man is humble and has taken no credit behind the scenes trying to protect the citizens of Clayton County and provide guidance to officers within the department. He has develop a relationship with the officers that is positive and he fostered a cooperative bridge with a cross section of communities within the county that is to be commended.
To know Greg Porter is to know a man of greatness, and I am proud that he has an opportunity to share his vision with for the citizens of Clayton County. He truly cares and love the department and will provide the best service to the community than any of the candidates by far. The citizens and the officers are lucky to have a man of this statue willing to represent and serve them. The only choice for Clayton County newest Police Chief is CHIEF GREG PORTER.

Taxpayer you do know that none of us get to actually choose the police chief, right? That is up to our "esteemed" commissioners but at least the blog gives us a chance to speak on who we like and why without a two minute time limit. Not like the commissioners ever listen to us ANYWAY they already have their agendas. Out of these choices Porter is the best IMO. agreed on Victor Hill and Sandra Scott though just thankfl I don't live in either of their districts.

GREG PORTER? So, how well do you know this man? Can he be trusted? Will he do what's best for Clayton County Police Department? Or is he going to be a little puppet?

Decisions, Decisions –
I would also like to congratulate Mr. Porter & Mr. Robertson as finalists for police chief here in Clayton County. I have long been an advocate of having someone that would be police chief of a county or city to have some significant ties to that area. Both Mr. Porter & Mr. Robertson fit that criteria. Just as Sgt. Rock stated this is no slight to Mr. Pearson but simply comparing a list of qualifications coupled with having long term ties to the local community there isn't a match.
He Who Controls the Guns Rules –
One of the final bastions of the community is the local police dept and with the manner in which the unholy trinity have been hell bent on controlling everything and everyone, the police dept is the last area I would want them to have "their type" control over. My only concern with our new Chief is that he has the "cajónes" to stand up to our commissioners when needed. With some things that I have already heard concerning one of the candidates I am wondering if his stones haven't already been crushed.
Intangibles –
I personally think this choice will come down to intangibles that only board will decide what they are. I do however say our next Chief MUST and I saw MUST be able raise the moral of the dept as well as command the respect of his fellow officers. Our next Chief will have be visionary in some aspects while holding true policing foundational police tactics that have stood the test of time and produced results. I say good luck to both men and say that Clayton County will have a fine police chief whoever that may be.

If he has been with the Department for decades, why hasn't he distinguished himself by working to reduce crime? He's there and in a high-level position already. If he is as great as folks say, we ALL should know him by what he has achieved with the police department. And while we don't "select" the chief, I am thankful that the commissioner representing voters in my district listens to his constituents. I know he has heard from many of us on this matter and will vote in the COUNTY's best interest.

Whoever wants Victor Hill voted in needs to move to RIVERDALE and you can have him ALL DAY LONG! Leave the rest of us outta that hot mess! Robinson seems a bit soft and detached from the community. I don't know much about Porter and even less about Pearson. Hey BOC, start over!

I is very obvious to me, that some of our posters on the forum, advocates a Government that conflicts with governmental policy. In my own opinion, this would constitute a Police State to maintain obedience by forceful unlawful acts of unbridled control. This against our U.S.Constitution and The Constitution of Georgia. We have already seen threats to rights in county, during the past four years and only a very few of us stands up to lodge our grievances, only to be condemn and ridiculed by our fellow citizens.
This might be why this county has so much sadness, ignorance, and low self esteem.

The readers, bloggers, and voters on-line continue to speak, vote, and blog very loud and very clear on who is their choice for the next Chief Of Police of the Clayton County Police Department.

Porter is truely the man for the job, he is a true leader with all the right qualities to lead the police deprtment to the next level. Clayton County let's do what IS right for the county and not for personal gain. Being negative towards Porter don't change the issue. MAKE PORTER THE NEW POLICE CHIEF AND EXPERIENCE A NEW LAW ENFORCEMENT DAY FOR CLAYTON COUNTY.

@Double Action: [We will never know about what ego does to some people, until after the fact.]
So true. So easy to start by thinking "I want to do what's best for the community" but to find yourself thinking "What's best for me *is* what's best for the community." Even if you start with the best of intentions. Power–even the promise of power–is a terrible temptation.

Multifunctionality And Non-Agricultural Supply Of Public Goods
AbstractWhen public goods are joint outputs of agricultural production, there is a trade-off between agricultural and non-agricultural provision of the public good. The principle of minimal price distortion in the reform of agricultural policies has led to a theoretical recommendation that public goods, if under-provided at agricultural free market level, should be promoted through non agricultural policies instead of agricultural policies. We show that the economies of scope between the agricultural production and the joint public good play a key role in determining the optimal way of providing this latter. If the policy designed is a non-agricultural policy, the production cost of the public good is higher than with an agricultural policy. If the policy designed is an agricultural policy, the production cost is lower but generates market effects. Under the assumption of strictly positive economies of scope, we show that the optimal policy is a mix of agricultural and non-agricultural policy. We confirm this result in the two-country case, demonstrating the optimal level of agricultural support for public good provision is strictly positive and lower than in the case of one country.

In other words: Political money and hence influence at the top levels is disproportionately white, male, and with almost no social context that includes significant numbers of African Americans and other people of color.
This is why money isn't speech. Freedom of speech as a functional element in democratic life assumes that such freedom can be meaningfully deployed. But the unleashing of yet more money into politics allows a very limited class of people to drown out the money "speech" of everyone else—but especially those with a deep, overwhelmingly well documented history of being denied voice and presence in American political life."

Money Is a Terrible Way to Measure the Value of a College Major
The cliche about majoring in humanities is that it's a lovely way to spend four years of college and poor way to land a lucrative job. To some extent, that cliche may be true. On the whole, humanities grads earn less than students who study disciplines like business or engineering. So sayeth the statistics.
But the Association of American Colleges and Universities would like you to know that getting a degree in English or History, while perhaps not the most financially rewarding choice, doesn't require an oath of poverty either. Over a lifetime, they note, typical humanities and social science majors earn similarly to graduates who study practical, pre-professional fields such as education or nursing.

How Thinking About Time Can Make You a Better Person
Are you rich? That's great. But bad news: You're probably an awful cheater. Science says.
"The increased want associated with greater wealth and status can promote wrongdoing," Paul Piff of the University of California, Berkeley wrote in a widely-cited paper showing that the "upper-class" was more likely to lie, cheat, violate driving laws, and even take candy from children.
It's not just having money that makes us dishonest. Even thinking about it—lustrous gold coins, money trees, year-end bonuses—makes us us more likely to behave unethically. A new study this week both indicts the immoral intoxication of money and offers a simple solution: When you make people think about time rather than money, they become self-reflective and less likely to do the wrong thing.

This Christian Company Will Win Because It's Rich
My money's on Hobby Lobby—not because it's a corporation, not because it's Christian, but because its owners are rich.
The specific issue in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores is whether a for-profit corporation may refuse to comply with mandatory employee insurance coverage provisions of the Affordable Care Act, on the grounds that its employees may use their insurance for purposes the company's owners find distasteful on religious grounds.
Hobby Lobby, a chain of craft stores, and Mardel, a chain of Christian supply stores, are owned by the Green family of Oklahoma. The Greens are conservative Christians who object to any form of contraception that can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in a woman's uterus. The Act requires that employee insurance policies cover all forms of FDA-approved contraception. This requirement, the company argues, is a "substantial burden" on its corporate right to "the free exercise of religion," and thus violates the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Where Americans — Rich and Poor — Spent Every Dollar in 2012
Food, clothes, and housing account for more than 60 percent of all spending among the poor.
Can Your Language Influence Your Spending, Eating, and Smoking Habits?
Yes, I know. That headline. It looks like the most egregious form of causal inference. Americans don't save money because of … our grammar? How utterly absurd. But bear with me.
In the 1930s, linguists proposed that the way we read, write, and talk helped to determine the way we see the world. Speakers of languages that had the same word for orange and yellow had a harder time actually distinguishing the colors. Speakers of the Kook Thaayorre language, which has no words for left and right, must orient themselves by north, south, east, and west at all time, which enhances their awareness of geographical and astronomical markers.
Last year, economist Keith Chen released a working paper (now published) suggesting speakers of languages without strong future tenses tended to be more responsible about planning for the future. Quick example. In English, we say "I will go to the play tomorrow." That's strong future tense. In Mandarin or Finnish, which have weaker future tenses, it might be more appropriate to say, "I go to the play tomorrow."

Drops of sweat slip from my furrowed brow
Eyes squint, select a number and let fly now
Miss again, a millimetre is a mile once more
Aimed for triple twenty, only got double four
The walk of shame, my oh so familiar friend
Silence broken, on alcohol I forever depend
The steel point of eyes bore into my neck
My opponent leaves me a juddering wreck
I lose the match; the wife won't give me a kiss
I wish I could have been anything else than this...

Higgs Boson Machine Learning Challenge
If you've ever wanted to get involved with a particle physics analysis but not had the opportunity to work with one of the largest scientific collaborations in the world, your luck has changed!
The ATLAS experiment is running a machine learning challenge to try and gain input and expertise from people all over, who might have a new way of looking at our data to discover the Higgs particle.
Machine learning encompasses the branch of computer science where you use clever algorithms (such as boosted decision trees and neural networks) which learn from known data to help classify unknown data.
Here in the particle physics community, the known data falls into two categories (a binomial problem) - signal and background. The signal is the process we want to discover. The background is all the other processes which look almost identical to the process we really want to see.
If our signal was so unique and different from the background continuum then we would not need to work out ways to discriminate between the two. Sadly Nature is not that kind to us, and often if we are looking for one particle physics process to produce a final state of particles, there will always be other ways (other Feynman diagrams) which could produce the same outcome.
The challenge here has simulated data from Higgs to di-tau events as the signal. From a statistical standpoint, if you can correctly categorise the signal and background into their respective categories then you can evaluate the discovery sensitivity or discovery significance. Information is provided on calculating this, and this will be the marker with which to rank the entrants.
People wishing to participate have until the 15th September 2014 to submit an application, and you can submit a limited number per day. Further information about the machine learning tools which are freely available is provided on the webpages and the tutorial pages.
If you are good enough you could win up to $7000. Not a bad prize for doing some coding. Already there have been over 800 entrants and the great thing about this is that you don't need to understand the physics involved to manipulate the data, extract information from the variables, and combine it all together to correctly classify data. The only benefit particle physicists get is knowing what kind of correlations to expect between these variables, but in fact, a perfect machine learning algorithm should be able to find and exploit these correlations anyway.

If anything, I'd add an addition Star Wars attraction to that land, and maybe a walkthrough experience for Indiana Jones, though I'm not sure if there would be any room for them. In any case, I think it's a great re-imagining of the park that would put Disney on top of the movie theme park game. Because, as it stands, Universal is doing a lot to bring their parks into the modern age while Disney (particularly at DHS) has been content to rest on their laurels.
With all the hug zones in MK this park needs one and I want a Jessica Rabbit hug zone in a toontown land. The Roger Rabbit movie played in Hollywood and was about movies.
Btw I did the Indie coaster (backwards) at DLP and it was crap. That is not a ride you want.
I also wish they'll start removing the hat and the stage and put more small classy musical shows in that beautiful main street to make it more appropriate for the time it's reflecting and keep the load stomping sounds somewhere dedicated at the back of Rock'n Rollercoaster.
And finally I want them to make an app for the Beauty and the Beast stage show so I can start using my iPad with games and stuff to "enhance" the show (or in other words get me trough that boring old show).
But I'm surprised there isn't a Wall-E attraction yet (even something in tomorrowland would be cool)
Or there's Up. The balloon ride to Paradise Falls in South America could be something cool.
An Incredibles ride similar to the Amazing Spiderman at Islands of Adventure would be a lot of fun.
Honey I Shrunk the Kids should be re-themed to Bug's Life. And I think the "Streets" area should be turned into Monstropolis from Monsters Inc. Let that be a big Pixar area.
I actually wish they'd build an UP attraction at Disney Animal Kingdom, since they could have Carl's house in a South America themed area of that park. I think Ratatouille belongs in EPCOT in the France section.
I'd love to see a kids' area built around the Muppet Studios theme. I actually think the Great Movie Ride could be reimagined as a Muppets attraction...with the Muppets characters playing the roles of the famous movie parts. It would be a way to freshen up that attraction and also give the Muppets a new thing to do in the parks. It would also be great to have just all the Disney characters be put into the Great Movie Ride, with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and (yes) Roger Rabbit acting out the movie roles. I just think this would be more interesting and fun than going past the current figures representing movie characters.
I think anything Indiana Jones should go in either Adventureland at MK or it should be used for Animal Kingdom (because an Indy ride could easily be built around him searching for some mythical creature on whatever continent he needs to be on). I don't think he's the best fit for DHS.
If I could think outside the box for DHS, I'd want a Wizard of Oz land that would be built concurrently with Star Wars Land. I think there's so much potential if they build the Emerald City: they could have several rides in there but also a very elegant restaurant and a children's area setup like the China Town village or Munchkinland. If Star Wars Land skews more to boys than a Land of Oz could skew more to girls. Though I think both genders will enjoy either land.
It makes so much more sense to me to put Oz at DHS than it does to try to cram Oz into Fantasyland at MK or Disneyland. All of that glittering emerald and gold would look gorgeous in the Florida sun. From the recent Oz movie with James Franco they'd have that balloon ride...and they could do a witch's ride on broomsticks or with flying monkeys from her perspective (or riding on bubbles like Glinda).
I think DHS needs to retheme itself to "the park where movies come to life"...and so the attraction would no longer be about taking people behind the scenes of movies but letting them step into the worlds of movies. Star Wars, Wizard of Oz, the Pixar Movies. The other thing I'd like to see more of are classic Disney movies represented...the older ones that people today forget about, like Cat from Outer Space or Escape From Witch Mountain. Maybe the Great Movie Ride could be remade with ONLY Disney movies represented. That would be a lot of fun, and a chance for newer generations to discover the old classics.
Personally regarding pixar I would love an Up ride similar to the Peter pan ride but on a larger scale with larger show sets. The movie was charming and I'm sure a ride would be aswell. Its never to late to make a ride based on a great film. Pinocchio in Fantasyland was built in1983, 43 years after that film!
I too agree that just because Indy at Disneyland is the same ride system as Dinosaur, doesn't mean it can't come to DHS. They are separate parks. Universal has Transformers at one park and Spiderman at the other, and no one is complaining. I wouldn't replace Dinosaur with Indy, wouldn't make sense, but I would love to see it replace the stunt show at Studios.
Personally my favorite idea is a Muppets land, because I hold them near and dear to my heart; there is no TV/movie franchise I love more than the Muppets. I would love to see the Great Muppet Movie ride idea rehashed. I just don't see this happening. Muppetvision 3D and the new Muppets movie are just not popular enough, which is extremely unfortunate and hard to understand, with Disney's key demo to make them greenlight much more than a refurb of Muppetvision.
So the most likely idea, and one I'd definitely be happy with, is Monstropolis. I've always wanted a door coaster ride, and they could bring the dark ride from DCA or Tokyo too. Plus New York Street could become Monstropolis itself, with lots of cool buildings and stores, and they could have an actual Harry Hausen's restaurant.
If not Pixar, I think a giant Star Wars land would be better than the other choices. Indiana Jones and the Muppets just aren't as big now as they used to be, and non-Disney properties do not belong in a Disney park. However, I'm fine with just about anything provided it isn't a clone of something in California.
Star Wars land is on the way and I dont know many detail, but assume there will be at least 1-2 major rides. It's time I think also for a major Indiana Jones ride.
DHS needs a minimum of 4 additional rides. Not replacements of existing rides - 4 more. At least 1 should be an E ticket ride and the others D ticket rides.
What I fully expect to see is a couple of new restaurants, a couple of next gen queues, and another couple of walk thru exhibits (probably to promoted Lone Ranger after it's epic box office fail!)
I have to say that basing anything on Star Wars is probably risky. Remember, Disney will be making the films from here on out. You know, the folks that brought you Dinosaur, the remake of the Parent Trap, The Lone Ranger and other smash hits.
Whatever they decide, Disney has to get off of their collective butts and *do*. Promises of amazing things to come in 5 or 6 years just don't cut it. While I know that many of the folks on here are die-hard Disney fans who discount what happens in other parks, Universal is running circles around Disney these days. And they deliver instead of making far distant promises. I have annual passes to both and Universal is seeing more of me and Disney less.
Besides, the prequels (under Lucas & Fox) weren't exactly critically acclaimed or loved by the fans......and the franchise is as strong as ever.
In a way, you could almost say Star Wars is critic proof. There's such a rich history with the merchandise, films, books, series, conventions, characters, etc.
It's a part of pop culture......and as long as Disney doesn't stray from the formula (I.e., turning the franchise into something it's not, like a gross out comedy or an urban dance series), Star Wars will be fine.
Anyway, as mentioned already, having Incredibles in the parks lets them satisfy that superhero itch without utilizing Marvel. Sad to say that they can't use Marvel, but hey.
There's my idea, now let's get on board, TDO!

Investigators have ended, at least for now, the active search for two missing Bedford County kids thought to have died a house fire last month.
As first reported in the Shelbyville Times Gazette, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives spent last week closely inspecting the charred remains of the Kingdom Road home for any signs nine-year-old Chloie Leverette and her seven-year-old brother, Gage Daniel.
Sheriff Randall Boyce told the paper ATF agents left Friday and no additional searches or inspections were planned.
"We're still checking out leads," he said, "but none by any agency have proved fruitful."
Chloie and Gage lived with their grandparents. The family's home in Unionville caught fire on September 23. The remains of Leon and Mollie McClaran were found the following day.
An Amber Alert was issued for the children less than a week later after agents found no traces of their bodies in the remains of the home or in nearby fields.
Some family members like Joy Frame, the children's aunt, now believe the children weren't in the home.
"Everyone has tried so hard to find those kids, but they're not there," she told Nashville's News 2 earlier this week. "I know in my heart they're not there."
Frame said she believes someone deliberately set her parents' home on fire and left with the children.
The Amber Alert remains active.
Anyone with information on Chloie or Gage's whereabouts is urged to contact the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND or the Bedford County Sheriff's Department at 931-684-3232.

NEW YORK (AP) — Portland center Meyers Leonard and Philadelphia center Daniel Orton were each suspended for one game without pay by the NBA on Sunday for their altercation Saturday night.
Leonard initiated an altercation by slamming Orton to the floor, and Orton retaliated by elbowing Leonard in the mouth in the fourth quarter of Portland's 139-105 victory in Philadelphia.
Leonard sat out Portland's game at Detroit on Sunday, and Orton will miss Philadelphia's game at Brooklyn on Monday night.

What You Can Do to Help the Bees
Folks, we've got a crisis on our hands; one that you've probably heard about already but bears repeating. It's called Colony Collapse Disorder, and it means that honey bees--our top insect pollinators, partly responsible for ensuring that crops successfully produce and bear fruit--are strangely disappearing. They need all the help they can get right now, and there are a few simple things you can do (provided you're not allergic, of course) to help the bees get back on their feet--err, wings.
Part of the problem bees are facing, according to books like Fruitless Fall by Rowan Jacobsen, is the lack of flowering plant variety.
Since bees do best in environments that offer great plant diversity, so in addition to the seeds you're starting for your spring fruit and veggie gardens, sow some from this bee-friendly list. Flowers native to your area are best, of course, so ask your local plant gurus (think nurseries, farmer's markets, etc.) what would do the trick.
If your city allows it (check the ordinances), and your neighbors are cool with it, and you're up for the bit of work entailed (yes, that's a long list of pre-recs, but...) look into backyard beekeeping. There is a wealth of information online, of course, but visit the library to find beekeeping books and be sure to read up before starting a hive. We're in the very beginning stages of putting hives out on two family farms, which means we're investigating everything from costs to upkeep to what to do in the event of bee mutiny.
If you want to invite the bees but don't want to keep a hive, look into other bee homes like these, or this one.
And without touching the bees at all, you can help out by supporting your local farmers and purchasing local honey. Not only will it taste like your surroundings (fields of wildflowers or clovers, for instance), but it's great for alleviating local allergies.

Bees love our rosemary, which is why we'll continue to grow more than we need.
I read something totally anecdotal recently, suggesting that perhaps early-morning watering cycles are washing away nectar. The writer (sorry, can't remember who, or where I read it) started watering in late evening instead and noticed that the bees came back. His theory is that watering when flowers are open leads to bee starvation. Thoughts?
Mother Nature (rain) does not water only in the evening or only in the morning time... She has her own schedule.
Some say evening watering can cause root rot. I have not experienced that, but I only water in the evening once in a while when I've run short on morning time and have to zip out quickly.
Perhaps water from the base of the plant, not the top.
There is no clinical data that corroborates the suggestion that eating local honey will lessen one's allergic reactions to local flora. If you have some I would appreciate a link.
It's anecdotal, SunnyBlue, but I've noticed that my allergies flared up when we moved here (to CA from TX) and I've added local honey to almost everything I've cooked (And we cook 3 meals a day) and my allergies have calmed in a matter of months.
Does the honey get all of the credit? I don't know, and frankly, it's working and it's tasty, so I don't care.
Bonus - we have lots of flowering fruit trees around our house and I've noticed they buzz with activity (literally) almost all day every day.
When I plant more, (If I plant more) I will certainly use your bee-friendly list.
Amberb: Thanks for bringing this issue to the readers. Good suggestions, esp. notes on variety & native plant use.
For your family farms, I hope you consider incorporating methods of inviting native bees. Encouraging native habitat in the farm area is one of them.
Relevant research has been done by Clare Kremen at Univ. of California, Berkeley, and also Sarah Greenleaf at UC Davis -- for example.
A discussion of this topic is here: http://www.ethicurean.com/2009/02/09/buzzkill-can-native-bees-do-the-job/
(and many other places).
Another reference:
"Farming for Bees: Guidelines for Providing Native Bee
Habitat on Farms" published by Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation.
Good luck.

HAERTS - Wings This song made a big impression in 2012, spotted on numerous 'best of' lists with good reason. A perfect summer song (if you're a southern hemisphere friend) with dreamy lo-fi production and sweet lyrics to melt away to. "..and I'd grow wings for you".
Mostly new pop, indie and electronic music that makes us happy, sad and excited.

On your branches he would swing, do you long for the happiness that day would bring? He found shelter in your shade. You thought his laughter would never fade. Weeping willow, stop your tears. There is something to calm you fears. You think death has ripped you forever apart. But I know he'll always be in your heart.

The Mad Max series of movies are one of those unique points in the history of film and car fans. From a truly critical standpoint the movies are not that great, but for some reason all three films have garnered a dedicated following.
Perhaps it is the idea that our future could be a rough and inhospitable land filled with hooligans, miscreants, raiders, and other terrible ilk. Perhaps we as a nation built on the automotive fear what may happen if there was a true gasoline crisis.
It could just also be that there are lots of awesome cars and explosions, and hell yes we want more of that.
Whatever the case, the Mad Max universe has proved to be ripe for the picking, and there is a new video game coming for all of us to enjoy. The game is simply titled Mad Max, and thankfully it has very little to do with any movie. Rather, the game is simply set in the world of Mad Max, and Avalanche Studios has used that world as their blank canvas.
The game itself is very car heavy, and while we are sad that you don't get to cruise around in a kitted out Ford Falcon, Avalanche has given us a pretty bad-ass car to use and modify. They call it the Magnum Opus, and West Coast Customs has built one in real life.
See the new game trailer and learn more about the WCC Magnum Opus after the jump.

The 21st Ethylene Producers Conference
The use of organosulfur compounds in steam cracking furnaces to produce ethylene and propylene is a universal practice to essentially prevent carbon monoxide (CO) and minimize coke formation. While there is agreement that this decreases the level of CO in the product gas, there is seemingly conflicting data on the impact of the sulfiding agents on coke formation in the furnace tubes and transfer line exchangers. This paper will review known and disputed facts about the impact of sulfiding agents on extent of coke formed, look at common practices including state of the art in this industry, and identify areas for further investigation.
