When you're young, queer and poor you make money by busing tables, making coffee or serving food. You can submit to horrors of the American Mall and sell over-priced lotions and clothes made in India…you can sell pot and adderall in gentrified neighborhoods to hipsters with trust funds or you can sell your body to married men down on Broadway or on the East Side across the Mississippi. You can move back home with your parents who want you to stop this faggot shit and take on God and get a good job and a wife…you can have a mental meltdown at 2 A.M. drunk on white wine rambling about the depravity of the capitalist system….you could take on an unpaid internship and hope and pray that it leads to a real paycheck…you could go to graduate school or law school but first you have to pay off a huge student loan to get your college to release a fucking transcript only to take out ANOTHER loan and ANOTHER loan and ANOTHER loan.
I'm 24 and queer and poor. Yesterday, I had 7cents in my bank account.
I graduated from college with a degree in journalism from Mizzou in 2009. When I graduated, I spent the first year out of school constantly applying for jobs. Some were professional-beat reporters for random small town papers across the country, communication management positions at progressive, democratic or LGBTQ related non-profits and campaigns. Others were totally RANDOM-retail sales associate, barista, burrito maker, front desk attendant, stock boy.
Most of the time I never heard anything back from my applications but even in that first year I got several phone and skype interviews for communication and reporter positions across the country. The interviews always went well and I even a couple second and third interviews but the results were always "We're sorry but we've chosen another canidate"…and that was if they decided to even call me back. (I loved it when "PROFESSIONALS" would forget to let me know that they had chosen someone else)
I moved back home for a summer but quickly realized that staying there would do more damage than good to my psyche so I decided to move to St. Louis with no money and no job.
Here, I've managed to find two jobs that I can honestly say I love. I work part time for an event photography company and I also work for the city's only LGBTQ publication as their associate editor and as a features writer. The jobs are great but they don't even come close to giving me a living wage.
I'm constantly broke and falling behind on my loan re-payments. I'm looking for a third job… maybe a serving gig or another retail job. I don't think I am entitled to a job. I'm not better or more worthy of employment than anyone else. All I want is to make a liveable wage and do what I've always wanted to do since I was a kid and that is TO WRITE.
Being unemployed in your 20s is hell but I guess the best advice I could give someone is to do what you love and don't settle for just "A JOB"… ya, you may have to sell some fries to make some coins but if you have a passion don't forfeit it because your only other option is regret and who the fuck wants that?

A Delhi court on Saturday reserved its order for February 28 on the plea filed by BJP leader Nitin Gadkari seeking that former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal be summoned as an accused in a defamation complaint.
Metropolitan magistrate Gomati Manocha reserved the verdict after hearing arguments on the complaint filed by Gadkari alleging that he was defamed by the Aam Aadmi Party leader who had included his name in the party's list of "India's most corrupt".
Senior advocate Pinki Anand and advocate Ajay Digpaul, who appeared for Gadkari, argued that Kejriwal had made the statement against the BJP leader with a "malafide intention" to tarnish the image and lower the dignity of their client.
The counsel contended that Kejriwal had made "baseless and false allegation" against 57-year-old Gadkari.
The court had earlier on February 18 recorded statements of Gadkari and advocate Neeraj as complainant witnesses in the complaint.
Gadkari in his statement had claimed the former Delhi chief minister had included his name in the list of alleged corrupt politician to tarnish his public image.
"The accused (Kejriwal) is in the habit of making false and defamatory statements without any basis. The statements made by the accused and his party members have damaged and tarnished my image in the eyes of the people."
"The said statements have been made maliciously by the accused person and his party people with the knowledge that the same are false, without any basis and with the malafide intention to defame and tarnish my reputation," he had said.
The former BJP President had said that on January 31 this year, Kejriwal had issued a list of alleged "India's most corrupt" in which he had named various politicians, including him.
On January 31, Kejriwal had accused several politicians of being "corrupt" and had said AAP will field candidates against them in coming Lok Sabha polls.
Gadkari had said he was "shocked to see the news and the article published online in all leading news channels on January 31, where accused (Kejriwal) had intentionally and deliberately included the name of the complainant and published his name in the malafide and concocted list of 'India's Most Corrupt'".
"This list of corrupt politicians, as stated by Kejriwal, included my name without any basis and it was totally malafide. On the basis of such statements, Kejriwal said to the people that based on his list, they should not vote for such politicians and should defeat such politicians," he had said.
Gadkari had also deposed that he had sent a legal notice on January 31 to Kejriwal which was duly received by him but no reply was received.
He had alleged that after Kejriwal's statement, other leaders of AAP further "sensationalised and scandalised" it and gave defamatory statements damaging his reputation.
In his petition, Gadkari had claimed Kejriwal had deliberately levelled false and malicious allegations against him which clearly reveal that the AAP leader had "ulterior motive for demeaning and slandering" his image.
He had also said that allegations levelled against him by Kejriwal were "wrong" and the conduct and behaviour of the former Delhi CM reflects that "he has the habit of maligning" his reputation to advance his "vested" political agenda and gain cheap publicity and media attention.
A divorce, a jail term, determined foes: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar fighting a lone battle?
The divorce between Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party and Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal(U) and a few days of change in residence for Rashtriya Janata Dal's Lalu Prasad – from 10, Circular Road in Patna to the Ranchi jail in Jharkhand – have totally changed the game that is played in Bihar.
Angry with the SP, convinced that the Congress is a losing proposition, unsure of AAP's ability to win, and fearful that Mayawati may ally with the BJP in the future, Muslims have a difficult choice.

Remembering Mary AnzaloneJune 19,2014We recently lost a pillar in Rutlands Southwest section when my good friend Mary Anzalone lost her battle with cancer.
So many will remember Marys wide and infectious smile. She warmly greeted everyone at the American Legion polls. She was an avid fan of Mount St. Joseph sports and worked tirelessly in MSJ development and at bingo.
I will always remember Mary Anzalone for her pride of community and especially Rutlands Italian-American heritage. She could often be found at Saint Peters Church and concerning herself with the people and issues affecting her Forest Street neighborhood where she lived her entire life. Like so many whose ancestors traveled from faraway Italy over the years, Mary Anzalone and her neighbors helped forge the proud Rutland City we all call home. Rutland smiles today because of you and so many others who have contributed to making this a community of people and ideas welcoming to everyone.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Rutland Italian-American Club. I and other Rutland City and Town state representatives this year sponsored a General Assembly resolution honoring this Rutland City landmark. I wish to dedicate this honor to Mary Anzalone and to all those members of our community with Italian heritage.

Federer-Murray: What's at stake
From Sporting Green columnist Bruce Jenkins: Odds and ends from a memorable Sunday, and what's ahead: Roger Federer will be going for his fifth straight U.S. Open title, a record matched only by the great Bill Tilden, who won six from 1920 through '25. If Federer can beat Andy Murray today, he'll have tied the […] [Read More]
A bit of Federer humor
Roger Federer seems to be enjoying himself more at this tournament than any U.S. Open or Wimbledon I can recall (which is about all I can speak for, since I don't cover the year-long tour). He's been animated, whimsical and vocal on court, and he has shown a funny side in his news conferences. Yesterday, […] [Read More]
The Open's very tough call
From Sporting Green columnist Bruce Jenkins: There was outrage in certain quarters yesterday when the Rafael Nadal-Andy Murray match wasn't moved to Louis Armstrong Stadium until 12:40 — more than an hour and a half after Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic got started on Ashe. Federer got his job done, but Nadal's match was halted […] [Read More]
Rained out: See you tomorrow
From Sporting Green columnist Bruce Jenkins: And suddenly, the day was over. The expected rainstorm arrived with a vengeance, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray were driven off the court, and there will be a Monday finish at the U.S. Open for the first time since 1987. At around 2:45 p.m., rain pelted the Louis Armstrong […] [Read More]
Federer: Tremendous. CBS: Just awful.
From Sporting Green columnist Bruce Jenkins: Roger Federer has won, and CBS has lost all sense of reason.

They're playing both at once
Not that CBS has taken notice, but they are now playing the men's finals simultaneously.

Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have split their first two […] [Read More]
So far, so dry
To the delight of tennis fans who feared the worst today, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have begun their men's semifinal.

Roger Federer seems to be enjoying himself at the U.S. Open, enjoying the crowd's support and the thrill of a five-set win (over Igor Andreev), something he rarely had to face in the past.

Will The Recent Rally of Natural Gas Help Chesapeake?
Lior is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The price of natural gas hiked in the past several weeks to its highest level this year. Did the recent rise in natural gas prices helped keep the stock price of Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE: CHK) from further tumbling down? Further, assuming the price of natural gas will maintain its current level, is it good enough to help rally one of the leading gas producers in the U.S? Let's further explore this issue and see if the company is out of the woods.
NG and Chesapeake
Natural gas hiked in the past several weeks by nearly 30% (from September 7 up to October 1) and United States Natural Gas (NYSEMKT: UNG) also rose by a very similar rate. Chesapeake's stock price fell during the same time by nearly 5.2%. On the other hand, in the last several days shares of the company made a modest comeback. Chesapeake's officials continue to blame the relatively low price of natural gas, compared to previous years for the company's financial troubles. But for valuation purposes if the future price of natural gas rises, then the value of the company should rise assuming we use DCF valuation, which means the recent recovery of natural gas should also reflect in a rise in the company's stock. The linear correlation between the stock price and natural gas daily percent change was 0.19. This means that only 4% of Chesapeake's volatility could be explained by the changes of natural gas prices.
The chart below presents the relation between Chesapeake, Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX), and Henry Hub during 2012 (up to date). As seem below, despite the recent recovery of the price of natural gas, it didn't help Chesapeake much or other natural gas producers such as Chevron. Since natural gas operations still account for a lion's share of Chesapeake's operations, such a sharp change in the price of natural gas should have affected the company's stock. There are two considerations that may have come into play in this regards: the price of oil and the company's financial stands.
Oil and Chesapeake
During September and October the price of oil has declined. The correction between the prices of oil and Chesapeake may have also contributed to the decline of Chesapeake during recent weeks. During September and October the linear correlation between the stock price and oil's (spot) daily percent reached 0.6. This means that nearly 37% of Chesapeake's volatility could be explained by the movement of oil. Therefore, the rise in Chesapeake's stock price may have been partially curbed by the decline in oil prices. The recent fall in the price of oil may have curbed the rise of the price of other energy producers such as ExxonMobile. During September/October the linear correlation between Exxon's shares and oil's (spot) daily percent was 0.57. This means that nearly 33% of Exxon's volatility could be explained by the changes of oil.
S&P500 and Chesapeake
The S&P500 also rallied during the first week of October by 1.4%. The recent positive news regarding the progress of the U.S economy including the growth in the U.S manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors and the modest growth in the U.S employment may have contributed to the rally in the U.S stock market. This rally, in turn, may have also contributed to modest rise in Chesapeake's stock price in the last few days. The linear between the stock price and S&P500 daily percent reached 0.46 (during September/October). This means that nearly 21% of Chesapeake's rise could be explained by the movement of S&P500. All these correlations point out to one thing: despite the recent modest rally of the company's stock, the rise in stocks and natural gas may have had a large role in Chesapeake's recent rise.
Chesapeake's Micro View
The company continues with its plan of selling assets that are mainly related to its natural gas operations (but not only). This process is expected to generate a total proceed of nearly $6.9 billion. These funds, according to the company's press release, are supposed to fully pay off the company's $4 billion loan by the end of 2012. The proceeds from the company's assets sales include the following: Chesapeake entered into multiple agreements in order to sell its Permian Basin assets for a net proceed of nearly $3.3 billion. The company sold all its holdings in Midstream assets for nearly $3 billion. The company also sold non-core leasehold assets in the Utica Shale and various other areas for roughly $600 million. These funds will help the company pass 2012 successfully, but there is still uncertainty around the company's future in 2013.
There are reports that the company is planning to sell additional assets for nearly $5 billion in order to pay some of its costs of drilling in 2013, which is expected to reach nearly $7 billion. As long as the company will continue to struggle in generating earnings and at the same time little growth, this could keep the company's stock price at its current low level. Therefore, the company's situation hasn't improved enough to ease the concerns of its investors. Finally, the recent rally of natural gas doesn't seem enough to pull the company's stock up.

Why drink "pregnancy herbal tea"?
Pregnancy and Herbal Tea
Why drink a special "pregnancy tea" I hear you say. There are thousands of herbal teas out there, so why a special one for pregnancy?
Well, there are some herbs that are not ideal during pregnancy and some that should only be taken at certain times. However, caffeine is probably more harmful than any of the herbal teas that you could buy in your supermarket, so please do not be alarmed. You would also have to drink a LOT of unsuitable herbal tea for it to have a huge effect. Saying that, there are some things to be aware of.
Spearmint Tea and Pregnancy
Spearmint tea is better during pregnancy than peppermint tea. Although both are from the same family of herbs, they are quite different in terms of their chemical make-up. Peppermint slightly irritates the uterus lining, whereas spearmint is completely harmless. Spearmint tea like Mama Tea's Cool Mama tea also help relieve pregnancy heartburn as we have blended it with chamomile and marshmallow leaf, so go for spearmint instead. BUY HERE
Raspberry Leaf and Pregnancy
Raspberry leaf, hibiscus, motherwort and rosehip all stimulate the uterus, which is not recommended before week 38 of pregnancy, so avoid all of these types of teas at the start of pregnancy. Saying that, towards the end of pregnancy, around week 38 onwards, these herbs are actually extremely beneficial for a pregnant woman. All of these herbs will "tone" the uterus and help the body prepare for birth. Increase the amount you are drinking towards week 40 and these herbal teas will actually stimulate the uterus so much that they can help you go into labour naturally and also increase the intensity of your contractions.
There are lots of raspberry leaf teas on the market but very few combine all four of these powerful uterine stimulants. Mama Tea has solved this with their birth preparation tea, Ready Mama as this tea combines all four of these herbs. Mama Tea has also included some lovely rose petals to make this tea smell and taste lovely with the added benefit that rose petals calm the central nervous system. BUY HERE
Rooibos and Pregnancy
Rooibos or redbush tea is a herb that has been used in South Africa by pregnant women for a long time. It is a powerful antioxidant, more than green tea! And it is completely safe to use in pregnancy, so ditch the caffeinated teas and coffees and try a rooibos tea instead.
At Mama Tea, we wanted our rooibos tea, Glowing Mama, to have some little pregnancy "extras", so we also added dandelion and elderflower which both help with fluid retention and also some echinacea, nature's natural antibiotic, for an all-round pregnancy tea! BUY HERE
Drink Mama Tea during your pregnancy for the right herbs at the right time and your peace of mind.

Taste a little lemon balm this spring!
Commonly known as "melissa", this wonderful herb comes from the Greek word, "mel" meaning honey. It's bright green leaves are a common sight in many herb gardens. But why is it such a wonderful herb?
The sixteenth century herbalist, Paracelsus called it the "elixir of youth" as it operates as an antibacterial, antidepressant, antiviral and a mild sedative. It has long been hailed as a natural remedy for depression as well as acting as a gentle natural sedative for emotional upsets.
The real healing power of this fabulous herb is it's wonderful effect on the digestion system. Lemon balm will ease most stomach upsets and digestive complaints, including morning sickness.
Next time you are feeling a little low or have a quest stomach, give lemon balm a chance to heal.
Celebrate Easter with a little well-being……
Happy Easter!
This Easter, put the chocolate eggs to one side and take some time out with a soothing cup of herbal tea. Easter is a time for renewal; take some time for you and make some plans for your well being…..
Creating a Well Being Plan doesn't need to be a massive project; it is the simple steps that make a difference…..
Create a space and some time for meditation. Even if this feels difficult at first, persist. Research shows that a little meditation every day is extremely beneficial for mind and body.
Three quick meditations from Natalie MacNeill from the Huffington Post (link here):
Stress Shaker (releases stress from your body)
Start by taking a few deep breaths then bring your awareness to whatever is causing you stress.
As you become aware of what's bothering you say, "I'm willing to move forward and see this differently."
Then take a few deep breaths, using the exhalation to sigh and release the tension.
Once you've done this, shake it out and move your body, visualizing your stress being shaken away. Do this for as long as you like.
Time Tap (shifts your mindset to a place of abundant time)
Place your hands on your lap. Starting with your pinky fingers, tap one finger of each hand at a time (synchronizing your left and right hands) and move through each finger to your thumbs. Place your hands on your lap. Starting with your pinky fingers, tap one finger of each hand at a time (synchronizing your left and right hands) and move through each finger to your thumbs.
As you tap, recite one word in a five-word mantra for every tap. My favorites include, "I always have enough time," "I am one with time" and "Time is within my control." (Or, create one of your own, being sure to focus on you being in control of time instead of the other way around.).
Focus Flame (Reduces tension and eye strain)
Turn off your computer.
Light a candle.
Bring the flame to eye level, holding it about 12-18 inches in front of you.
Set your gaze on the flame and look at it for 1-2 minutes.
Take deep breaths as you do this, releasing any of the tension you may be feeling with each exhalation.
The idea of exercising every day seems over-whelming at first. But like all small changes, start with the baby steps. Quite literally. Start with walking. A quick walk every day will do wonders for your mind and your body. If you want to lose weight and/or get very fit, then increase the walking to a run but do not under-estimate the benefits of getting a little exercise every day.
Hydrate your mind and body with clear water! It is that easy! We also advocate reducing your caffeine levels substantially. Caffeine is a toxic stressor for your central nervous system and as such, upsets balance in the body. Many of our caffeine-free herbal teas contain herbs that flush out toxins, like the powerful antioxidant, rooibos. We also have fantastic herbs for calming the central nervous system, like chamomile and marshmallow leaf. Give your body a break and go herbal! Drink Mama Tea!
5 beauty reasons to drink Ginger Tea
Did you know that one of your most powerful beauty and well being products is sitting in your tea cupboard? Put your expensive beauty products to one side, pour a cup of steaming hot ginger tea and read our top ten reasons why ginger tea is a powerful beauty aide:
Ginger is an excellent at helping your body to absorb essential nutrients and minerals. As we all know, nutrients and minerals are essential to help maintain beautiful skin, hair and nails.
Ginger contains over forty antioxidant compounds that help to protect against ageing; reason enough to brew up! Ginger removes toxins and stimulates circulation, which allows more nutrients to reach the skin. Antioxidants prevent damage from free radicals, which helps to maintain the youthful appearance of the skin. It improves elasticity making your skin more firm and youthful. In this way, it slows down the signs of ageing.
Ginger helps to keep the skin clean, smooth and free of blemishes as it is a powerful antiseptic herb. It is the best natural acne fighting weapon as it minimizes the rate of acne formation and eruption by killing and clearing the acne causing bacteria. It will nourish your skin also.
Ginger increases scalp circulation resulting in the flow of blood to your scalp. This stimulates the hair follicles and encourages growth and shine. The fatty acids present in ginger are very beneficial for thin hair.
Ginger is known for its aphrodisiac, antioxidant and toning properties which contribute to radiant skin. You can prepare a simple mask by mixing 2 grated gingers with 2 tablespoons honey and 1 teaspoon lemon juice and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. Apply on your face and rinse with cool water after 30 mins. This will help to soften your skin as well as prevent ageing.
BIKINI TEA – New Mama Herbal Tea
With summer just around the corner, we all need a little boost to get us into tip top shape for lazing on the beach or posing by the pool. Here at mama tea, we think we have the perfect solution……a little tea called New Mama…
Our delicious New Mama tea has many benefits but one of the more surprising effects is that of being a slimming tea. New Mama contains several different herbs which help to curb the appetite…the main ones are fenugreek, fennel and nettle leaf, all of which are contained in New Mama:.
There have been several studies that show that the soluble fibre in fenugreek seeds can reduce the absorption of dietary fat as well as aid appetite control by creating a sensation of "fullness."
When it comes to the the big weight loss herb, fennel wins hands down as it has a double benefit: working both as an appetite suppressant and a metabolism booster which really are both useful if you're trying to lose weight.
One of the most popular benefits associated with drinking nettle tea is weight loss. Nettle tea is efficient fat removing toxins from the body. It is also known to feed the cells of the body which results in decreases in cravings. It is often used as an appetite suppressant, which makes it highly beneficial for both weight loss.
Preliminary research indicates that consuming licorice may decrease body fat mass….we need to wait to get the results of further studies but combining liquorice root with the herbs above makes New Mama a bikini fast-buster of a herbal tea!
So, get stocked up in New Mama and get ready to slip into a little black number this summer…..TRY HERE!
Our Glowing Mama gets her dewy glow with a strict beauty regime…..she has plenty of sleep, drinks lots of water and eat 7(!) pieces of fruit and veg a day. But what gives her that well being extra? What is her secret?
ROOIBOS, ElDERFLOWER, ECHINACEA AND DANDELION….
Our lovely lady has a well being secret that combines the well being properties of rooibos tea, elderflower, echinacea and dandelion.
She combines these natural herbs in a delicious tea called after her……Glowing Mama
Our lovely lady adores rooibos tea, as the rooibos herb is such a powerful antioxidant. As an antioxidant, getting rid of toxins and nasties helps to give her skin and hair a particular glow. As Glowing Mama is a caffeine-tea and is 100% natural, it is a wonderful tea and a great beauty product.

We don't quite agree with the term "Irregular Competitors" as we prefer to call them "Influence Competitors" – because in this case, that is what you are dealing with. The issue of influence. As a corporation or government department, you're trying to influence public opinion or at the very least, better inform the public. But in today's hyper-connected world, you have no choice but to acknowledge and work with the impacts of social media and the impacts of influence. By anyone or any organisation.
Who Are The Influence Competitors?
In most cases, they are Non-Profit Organisations or Non-Governmental Organisations that are opposed to your agenda. In the majority of situations, they are working to influence citizen and consumer opinion in a direction that may not be economically viable. These are often activist groups who are cost-effectively reaching citizens and consumers and countering the messages government departments, traditional lobbyists and corporations are using.
While You Spend Millions on Television & Newspaper Advertising
Influence Competitors such as activist groups, are engaging your target audience quickly and far more effectively. They are using social media tools to engage in discussion and ensuring the petition you don't want signed gets signed. Because your audience isn't watching television and they are getting their news from Facebook, blogs, Twitter and other sources. They never saw your message. But they saw the views and opinions of the Influence Competitors who are competing against you to influence your very audience.
Understand Your Influence Competitors
Since 2008 we've been helping governments and corporations understand who is competing with them when it comes to issues around government relations, legislative changes, lobbying activities, facilities security and even human resource security. Social Media monitoring tools will never help you identify these threats. They may provide clues. They won't provide the detailed information on who is connected to whom and how. Who really has influence and who has authority, why? Where? How much? These are the questions we answer. This is the intelligence we provide.
The Impact of Influence Competitors
Whether you call them Irregular Competitors or Influence Competitors, they can cost your organisation significant amounts in terms of real dollars and policy development. You may not even realise where the opposition came from – until it's too late.
- Government policy making
- Legislative changes and new bills
- Citizen views and opinions on major environmental projects
- Share price falls
- Stakeholder relations
- Investor relations
- Corporate Social Responsibility programs and campaigns
- Lobbying campaigns
- Shareholder meetings
The impacts can be broad and deep or quick and painful, resulting in legislative changes that can destroy revenue streams or even companies. Opposition rallies that can bring down governments. Today, the effects and reach of social media channels can no longer be ignored. Only one company has developed the analytical software and has the deep, experienced team that can help. That's MediaBadger. We've been helping clients step away from the brink of disaster since 2008.
We are a market leading intelligence and analytics software firm with a professional services team that includes intelligence analysis, sociologists, anthropologists, rule of law, international policing, criminal intelligence, reputation management, investor relation, government relations and economic development consultants with masters degrees and years of experience.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney speaks during the first presidential debate with President Barack Obama at the University of Denver, Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2012, in Denver. (AP Photo/The Denver Post, John Leyba) MAGS OUT; TV OUT; INTERNET OUT
Updated: November 6, 2012 6:23AM
Amazingly, the phrase "fiscal cliff" was never uttered during Wednesday's presidential debate.
Amazingly, because the cliff is a mere three months away.
For all the general talk by Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama about how each would deal with the government's massive debt and their governing philosophies, voters heard no specifics on what should be done between Election Day and Dec. 31.
It's during that brief window that Obama must lead the Congress back from the edge of the fiscal cliff — or pay the price in his second term. If Romney is the one inaugurated in January, he'll be the one owning the free fall.
On Jan. 2, barring any action by Congress, automatic tax increases and deep spending cuts will jolt the nation. A report by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center this week found that taxes will jump for 90 percent of all Americans. Nine separate taxes will increase, boosting taxes by about $535 million, or almost $3,500 per household. Congress will likely prevent some increases, but which ones and by what degree is hotly contested.
Even the most ardent liberal would argue sweeping tax increases would be catastrophic for the fragile economy, a blow the Congressional Budget Office says could push the economy back into recession.
On the spending side, the cuts are equally devastating. Most defense programs will see a 9 percent cut, with domestic programs taking an 8 percent hit for a total of $100 billion. A few examples: Hospital payments through Medicare would be cut by nearly $6 billion a year and nutrition programs for women and children would lose $543 million. Such drastic across-the-board cuts relieve Congress of its chief responsibility: prioritizing where best to spend scarce tax dollars.
The cliff is mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011, the latest attempt to make Congress so uncomfortable, so frightened by what damage its inaction might cause, that it might finally compromise and agree on a balanced approach — yes, both cuts and new revenue — that will put the United States on the path to fiscal recovery.
Election Day is just over four weeks away.
But soon after, the cliff looms.

1. Graphs
A graph is simply a collection of nodes and the relationships that connect them. As Neo Technology, the creators of Neo4j, like to point out – graphs are everywhere. Graphs are used to model domains as varied as the relationships between individual people (social network analysis) to Metabolic Pathways. An interesting demonstration of modeling Metabolic Pathways can be found here.
Graphs take many forms but the most ubiquitous is the Property Graph which has the following additional characteristics to a simple graph:
- Nodes have a unique identifier.
- Nodes have key-value pair properties.
- Relationships have a unique identifier.
- Relationships have a type. For instance, Tom "likes" Cindy or Jack "IS_THE_BOSS_OF" Bob.
- Relationships are directed i.e. they have an orientation. For example, if Tom follows Jack on Twitter, the relationship would be defined as pointing from Tom to Jack.
- Relationships have key-value properties.
We will be using Neo4j to explore Property Graphs.
To get started using Neo4j go here and follow the instructions for your operating system to get Neo4j installed. Once done, type the below and then open your browser to the web admin screen.
You'll see a screen that looks like:
Click on the Power Tool Console window. This gives you a shell into the Neo4j Graph Database. Most of this post centers around working in this tab using Cypher, Neo4j's graph manipulation language .
Let's model the cinematic Avengers as a graph. Yes, I'm nerdy enough to distinguish between the cinematic and comic book Avengers. Shocking, I'm certain
2. Nodes
Nodes represent entities. Entities can be anything from Molecular Substrates to People. Essentially, they are any concepts or objects that you wish to depict as having relationships. In the graph we are modeling, the nodes are the Heroes of the Avengers. Remember that this is a Property Graph and the nodes will have a unique identifier and key-value properties.
To create the nodes, we will use the Cypher Create Command.
Now let's add a node:
Once that command is executed, you should see:
The Node[0] is the unique identifier and the key-value properties are {name:"Phil Coulson",description:"Agent of Shield"}.
Add the rest of the Avenger's Heroes using:
To see all the nodes you have created use the following:
3. Relationships
Relationships are the connections between nodes. Since this is a Property Graph, relationships can have a unique identifier, a type, are directed, have key-value properties,
Let's create our first relationship using the Cypher Create command. In the Power Tool Console type:
The output should look similar to:
This establishes a "WORKS_FOR" relationship from Phil Coulson to Director Fury.
As noted above, relationships can also have properties. Here is an example:
It establishes a relationship between Iron Man and Phil Coulson with the key being "basis" and the value being "respect".
Multiple relationships can be added to a node. This creates a two-way relationship between Pepper Potts and Iron Man.
These two statements create a relationship from Pepper Potts to Iron Man and from Iron Man to Pepper Potts. When we look at traversing a graph below you'll see that the direction of a relationship has a profound impact on the Graph.
Beyond the relationships below, I'm not going to create all the relationships because I'm lazy.
To see all the relationships you have created use the following:
Here is a visualization of how our graph stands:
4. Traversal
The most interesting things to do with a graph is to traverse it which means walking the nodes via their directed relationships. You can visit all the nodes or limit traversing the graph based on the value of properties. There is much to read and cover regarding Traversals. Most of it is beyond the scope of this post but you can start here.
The below query walks the graph and discovers the shortest path between Iron Man and Director Fury.
It's easy to guess the outcome looking at the visualization above. It should resemble:
One thing to note is because the relationships are directed the reversal of the query returns nothing. Try it out:
The outcome is empty.
Psst…if you leave out the directional arrow it works:
5. Centrality
Centrality is important metric of a node determining the power or influence it wields. One of the most common measures of determining centrality is counting the number of relationships that a node has. This metric is known as degree centrality.
Cypher makes it easy to determine node centrality. Run the below in the Power Tool Console.
And you should see:
Not surprisingly, given my laziness in defining relationships, Phil Coulson has the greatest degree centrality. There are many other methods for determining centrality but they are beyond the scope of this post. You can find more here.
All Things Open
I expanded on these topics and more at All Things Open. It was a fantastic conference. If you get a chance, attend next year. You won't regret it. Also, it's sister conference, POSSCON, is equally rewarding.

The two main benefits of using sound therapy for sleep are a higher tolerance for nighttime noises and the masking or replacing of nighttime noise with more rhythmic, soothing sounds that minimize sleep disturbance. Without sound therapy, individuals suffering from hearing conditions such as hyperacusis and tinnitus often develop insomnia. This therapy, however, is not just for those with auditory ailments; sound therapy can be helpful for those who are restless at bedtime and need help falling asleep. Through the use of noise generators (NG) or sound machines, sound therapy for sleep delivers gentle audio in the form of music, vibrations, and sounds of nature to one or both ears just before sleep and during the first hours of sleep. Special ear implants can also be used for sound therapy.
Noise generators, also called sound machines, are the most popular devices for achieving the benefit of noise masking. These small, tabletop sound therapy devices replace real life environmental sounds and muffle ear ringing with either white noise — noise that maintains a consistent amplitude — or pink noise, sounds with varying amplitude and an emphasis on bass. Examples of white noise and pink noise used in sound therapy for sleep include meditative music, the sound of chirping crickets, raindrop recordings and sounds of ocean waves. Crackling fireplace sounds and soft thunder are among the other eclectic noises available with noise generators.
These devices can be used with or without earphones and usually have a timer that turns the device off once the user has gone to sleep. Noise masking benefits of this sound therapy for sleep can be experienced immediately. Users, however, report that it takes a few weeks or months of consistent sound machine use to reap the second benefit of reduced hypersensitivity to environmental nighttime sounds.
Hypersensitivity to sound, formally known as hyperacusis can make any noise seem amplified and irritating, particularly at night. Individuals suffering from this condition often cannot go to sleep without relying on sleeping aids. Likewise, in cases of tinnitus, a condition where people endure an incessant ringing noise in one or both ears, people find it impossible to sleep because they are too distracted and frustrated. Many patients suffer both these conditions at the same time. While hyperacusis and tinnitus currently elude cures, otolaryngologists have found the benefits delivered through sound therapy for sleep to be as or more effective than using sedatives.
After sound machines, cochlear implants are the next most effective option for experiencing the benefits of sound therapy for sleep. These implants, which send the brain electrical sound signals, can restore the ability to hear gentle, atmospheric noise for those who have become accustomed to focusing on harsh noises or ear ringing. The ambient sound enjoyed through cochlear implants often comes with a drawback. Cochlear implants, although effective in relieving tinnitus, may damage hairs in the ears and promote deafness. For this reason, implants for sound therapy are recommended for people who have already suffered significant hearing loss and suffer from extreme cases of tinnitus.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Capturing the personality of a child in a photo is challenging. A photographer has a limited amount of time to find what it is about that child that will make a great photo. Some kids are shy and some are outgoing. The trick is to take what they offer and be ready for the unexpected. Photographer Jack Reznicki goes through a series of portrait sessions with children, ranging in age from infant to toddler, to preteen. Jack's rules for children are simple: The first rule is to have fun. The second rule is to be flexible. The third rule is to throw out all the rules. Join Jack for some great instruction and tips for photographing children.

No, this is wrong. He says "sing rubber-glue conglomerates," as in the old saying "I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you." This, as well as "brushing parasitic critics to my left side" indicate that he's talking about rapping in his own style without caring what other people think of it much.
I think what hes talking about is 'besting' other rappers once more. (like the "smoking out moles" line). Spin is just a creative verb and nothing more. hearts on sleeves here represents the ideals possessed by opposing rappers and heads on poles represents their 'defeat' when compared to aesop.
this all makes sense, bu hen again, im not fully aware of the context here so it could easily mean something else.
read my interpretation on the previous line before this. "Cant gain" could be talking about how since he chose to roll with the "handshake-proof campaign" it is a lot harder to make something out of it for yourself. (money, publicity, etc).
This and the freedom of having a "handshake-proof campaign" could be the "brown grass both sides" part also. either way you go in the rap game theres gonna be problems ahead
"Smoking out moles" in this case is a reference to him 'besting' other rappers within the underground scene. Why moles? they live underground. "Like a force of nature" suggests that it is in his nature to do so; he lives through hip hop.
i think "a handshake-proof campaign" is referencing how he started as a rapper with no intent to sign to a major label (or something like that); in other words no such deals would be made and signified by a handshake. The "cant lose" portion of the line is referencing the fact that since hes not being signed to a major label, hell be able to continue rapping without being dropped as soon as hes not the hottest shit around anymore.

You knew people were looking for you locally, so you entered info on Yelp and Manta. You understood that Google was the key to search, so you created a Google Plus account. You have ideas for a video, and you'd like to do some email marketing, but it's starting to get overwhelming…
Any of this sound familiar?

What is going on in this video?
You might think the light show is part of a public art installation or ambiance for a dance party, but this is what it looks like in the moments before a black-out on the High Line.
Managing one mile of park built on an elevated freight rail line presents unique operational challenges. Like any building in the city, the High Line has millions of dollars worth of mechanical systems – lighting and electrical infrastructure, plumbing and irrigation, and more – and it's all connected to the city's utility lines. When the power supply is cut nearby, it can affect the lighting system at the High Line.
The first winter storm arrived in New York City on Saturday, blanketing the High Line with a light coating of snow. Our maintenance and operations staff arrived before dawn to begin clearing the pathways, making the park safe for visitors to enjoy the High Line's winter landscape.
The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that took root on the elevated rail tracks after the trains stopped running. The High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees — chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share with you one of our Gardeners' current favorites.
We are always looking for unique ways to minimize waste, cultivate sustainable operations, and keep our discarded plant material closer to home. That is why we are excited about a new opportunity for closed-loop recycling with the introduction of our own organic mulch below the Falcone Flyover, on the High Line between West 25th and 26th Streets.
The Falcone Flyover contains an elevated walkway that carries visitors through a canopy of sumac and magnolia trees. Below the pathway, a gently rolling topography creates soil depth to accommodate shrubs and trees, but it is also prone to erosion.
A new experiment is underway to prevent the erosion and increase the soil's fertility. Using a test area, the High Line Gardeners recently introduced an application of organic mulch created from discarded plant material from the High Line, with the goal of increasing use of compostable material on-site and reducing the frequency of visits to off-site composting locations in the future.
High Line visitors will have a new place to share a meal next year.
Friends of the High Line is now seeking an operator to run a new full-service, year-round restaurant to open directly below the High Line at Gansevoort and Washington Streets in October, 2013.
Many know Joel Sternfeld as the photographer behind the now-iconic images of the wild landscape that grew up on the High Line when the trains stopped running in the 1980s. But his portfolio spans four decades, and a broad collection of his first works is now on view at his gallery, Luhring Augustine, New York in Chelsea.
At this time of year, we get this question all the time: "What do the gardeners do in the winter?"
There is noticeably less activity in the planting beds on the High Line in the winter, but our gardeners are just as busy. They take advantage of the lull in the growing season to plan and prepare for the year to come, and they are also called into action to help ensure the park is safe for the public after snow and ice storms. Here's a little insight into what the High Line Gardeners are up to in the colder months of the year.
One of our favorite ways to stay updated on park life from the office is by skimming through the High Line Flickr Pool. Hundreds of talented professional photographers and aspiring amateurs have shared their images of park visitors and the High Line's architecture, horticulture, and the cityscape beyond.
One recent contributor, Ben Thomas, caught our eye with his tilt-shift photographs, which trick the eye to make the High Line, and the views from it, look like miniature scale models.
We asked. You told us. Now the fun begins.
Dear Friends,
Thank you for helping us make 2011 an incredible year for the High Line.
This year saw two major milestones for the High Line: the opening of the High Line from West 20th Street to West 30th Street, doubling the length of the park, and an agreement to preserve the third and final section of High Line at the rail yards, including the spur.
But so much more happened on the High Line in 2011: a post-snowstorm Snow Sculpt-Off, a Salman Rushdie Karma Chain, rooftop dance performances, 50,000 new plants, four competing teen step teams, mushroom-shaped bouncy houses, a temporary public plaza below the High Line, 15,000 roller skaters, avocado popsicles, a working water feature, kids releasing butterflies and earthworms, salsa dancing at sunset, a historic $20 million gift for the rail yards and the endowment, our first comprehensive book on the High Line, and a larger-than-life $100,000 bill art installation.
We've compiled some of our favorite images, video, and stories from this incredible year. We hope you enjoy them!
Best wishes for the new year.
