July Jobs Report Confirms These Major Problems with U.S. Employment
The July jobs report brings the total number of part-time jobs created this year to more than three times the amount of full-time jobs added.
Welcome to America: Land of part-timers...
The trend was pronounced in June when data revealed part-time jobs grew by a robust 360,000 and full-time jobs declined by 240,000. Friday's July jobs report was further proof.

Today's May Jobs Report: When Bad News is Good News
When bad news is good news for stock markets you know just how convoluted the current economic environment is.
According to the May jobs report out today (Friday), the U.S. unemployment rate ticked up to 7.6% in May from 7.5% in April, the first increase since the start of 2013. And, markets rallied on the news. The Dow Jones soared more than 200 points by mid-day.
Some will say the May jobs report was good news - thousands of out-of-work people returned to the work force, and the 175,000 jobs added beat expectations.
The reality is we're just treading water. And the labor force participation rate is still at 30-year lows.
But the real good news is the jobs report means more U.S. Federal Reserve support, which will fuel markets already hitting record highs.

April Employment Report Begins to Show the Signs of the "Obamacare Effect"
Economists breathed a sigh of relief when the Labor Department reported a better than expected April employment report on Friday, but the details show cracks still remain.
Many of the job gains proved to be in lower paying fields and the average number of hours worked dipped.
In fact, April's report revealed the average workweek for private sector employees declined 0.2 hour to 34.4 hours.
The data also suggests The Affordable Health Care Act, aka Obamacare, is already having an impact on hiring since job growth has slowed most significantly among businesses with 50-499 employees.
This could be the reason why...

U.S. Jobs Report: How Unemployment is Really 14%
Employers added just 88,000 jobs in March, according to the U.S. jobs report released Friday, hiring at the slowest pace since June 2012.
The number was a huge miss. Analysts expected a gain of 200,000.
"We all over shot it," Austan Goolsbee, former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors in U.S. President Barack Obama's first administration, said on CNBC. "This is a punch to the gut. I mean, this is not a good number."
Since the government's way of calculating unemployment is frighteningly inaccurate, even with such a small amount of jobs added the unemployment rate fell from 7.7% to 7.6%.
That's because the labor force participation rate slipped from 63.5% to 63.3% -- the lowest level since 1979.

January 2013 Jobs Report: 4 Reasons Unemployment Will Stay High
The U.S. Labor Department released the January 2013 jobs report Friday, showing the unemployment rate inched upward from 7.8% to 7.9%.
Employers added 157,000 jobs in January, short estimates of 168,000, which would have kept the unemployment rate stable.
The jobs report included some good news: Revisions to last year's data, customary in January, show the U.S. added 335,000 more jobs than initially reported in 2012, bringing the monthly average for jobs gained to 181,000 from the 153,000 initially reported.
Employment gains for November and December were revised higher by a total of 127,000.
Contributing most to January payroll increases were the retail, construction and healthcare sectors. The government continued to shed workers, a trend that began four years ago.
But the employment outlook remains bleak. Joblessness has proved persistent, with the unemployment rate stuck above an unhealthy 7% for more than four years.
"The good news is that January's employment gains, coupled with large revisions to the prior months, may translate into more consumer spending power. The bad news is that unemployment remains stubbornly high," said Kathy Bostjanic, director of macroeconomics analysis at the Conference Board.

- The Ugly Truth About the Promise of the JOBS Act On one level, the JOBS Act is full of promise. On another some of the elements are downright ugly. As Shah explains, its buyer beware. Continue reading... Read More...
The Good the Bad and the Ugly Truth about the JOBS Act
It's about jobs.
I'm not just talking about the upcoming election and who is promising to do more to stimulate the economy. The entire future of America depends on job creation.
There are good and bad reasons why there aren't enough jobs.
Jobs have been lost because of advances in technology. Jobs have been lost because they've been outsourced.
Jobs aren't being created because banks aren't readily lending to entrepreneurs and businesses, and entrepreneurs and businesses supposedly aren't hiring because there are too many regulations and the future is uncertain.
All the reasons why there aren't enough jobs in America can be argued from both sides. And, while that's being done, arguing isn't doing anything for the unemployed.
Fortunately, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
There is a pathway open, and hopefully soon to be widened, that bypasses all the arguments and does what our bickering partisan politicians can't do, create good jobs in areas where American ingenuity has always outshined the rest of the world.
The Promise of the JOBS ActThe Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act or JOBS Act was signed into law on April 5, 2012 and is the single best hope America has of regaining its preeminence in the world.
The JOBS Act has good, bad and ugly elements...

Are We Headed Straight for Recession 2013?
Fresh reports pointing to a slowdown in the struggling U.S. economy, coupled with worries of Europe's fiscal woes, have experts warning that Recession 2013 is inevitable.
The dismal and downtrodden jobs numbers, the elevated long-term unemployment levels, the ailing housing market and the looming "fiscal cliff" are all fueling recession fears.
Just last month, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported that unless lawmakers move to avert scheduled tax increases and spending cuts at the end of this year, a recession is likely.
This marked the first time the CBO has forecast a recession resulting from the fiscal cliff.
The CBO projected that gross domestic product (GDP) will contract by 1.3% in the first half of 2013 before growing 2.3% later in the year. Annualized, GDP would grow just 0.5% in 2013.
That forecast is an about face from January when the CBO forecast a 1.1% GDP growth in 2013 (if policies are not dealt with).
The report stated, "Given the pattern of past recessions as identified by the National Bureau of Economic Research, such a contraction in output in the first half of 2013 would probably be judged to be a recession."
Now other economic experts are saying the same.

U.S. Economy 2012: Jack Welch on What's Stifling Job Creation
Excessive government regulation and uncertainty over tax policies are what's restraining companies from hiring, former General Electric (NYSE: GE) CEO Jack Welch said on CNBC last Wednesday.
Welch joins a large number of economists and pollsters trying to sort out why the U.S. economy in 2012 hasn't rebounded more strongly from the 2008-2009 recession.
In particular, everyone is trying to figure out why job creation has been so sluggish.
The U.S. economy added just 69,000 jobs in May. That's far below the 150,000 or so needed just to keep pace with new workers joining the labor force.
"We should be poised to do well, but we are getting hammered by political forces who won't deal with the fiscal cliff coming up," said Welch, referring to the expiration of the President Bush-era tax cuts and sharp reductions in federal spending due to hit in January.
Welch blamed an array of government agencies for cooking up more and more nitpicking rules. Such rules have little or no benefit, but hamper business owners and suppress job creation.
"These are the things that are going on every day. They add up," Welch said. "That's why we're not taking off."
Welch compared the current recovery to the Reagan Administration recovery in the mid-1980s. That recovery, once it got going, accelerated rapidly.
"If you look at 2009, and you look at the recovery we launched, we were getting into a traditional recovery," Welch said. "We had 4%, 4.5% growth until we started getting into regulations."
Jack Welch Not Alone in U.S. Economy ViewThe blunt talk from Jack Welch echoes data from several recent surveys of businesses.

Dow Jones Erases 2012 Gains – What's Next?
The "sell in May and go away" approach panned out this year as the month was not merry for markets.
U.S. equities experienced a steep drop during May, enduring the worst monthly declines in two years. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 6.2%.
A good part of May's decline was blamed on the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis that has swelled of late and shattered investors' confidence. But things on the home front are far from ideal.
The flight from stocks flowed into the first day of June. The Dow plunged 274 points Friday, erasing all of the year's gains. Fueling Friday's fall was May's dreadful U.S. jobs report, which showed employers added just a trifling 69,000 in payrolls, less than half the expected 150,000.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index and Nasdaq both plummeted more than 2%. The Nasdaq has given back more than 10% since its late-March peak.
Traders consider a 10% drop to be a market correction. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is just a mere point above correction territory.
Just 17 of the 500 companies in the S&P index ended higher on Friday.
"The big worry now is that this economic slowdown is widening and accelerating," Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at market research firm S&P Capital IQ, told the Associated Press.

Five with Fitz: What I See When I Look Over the Horizon
When you've been working the markets as long as I have, you learn that the biggest dangers are always found in a place just over the horizon.
It's why I spend my time hunting for stories, news items and opinions that in the old days were considered far "below the fold."
Invariably, what I am looking for is the stuff that everybody else has missed.
Because I believe that's where the real information is -- especially when it comes to uncovering profitable opportunities others don't yet see or understand.
It's the story behind the story that interests me. To find it, you need to go beyond the headline news.
In that spirit, here's my take on five things that I'm thinking about right now.

Why the Eurozone Debt Crisis Never Really Went Away
How many times have we been told the Eurozone debt crisis is resolved, only to have it turn up again like a bad penny?
Last year's string of good news/ bad news on the Eurozone debt crisis had the markets going up and down like a yo-yo until the routine grew so tiresome that most people stopped paying attention.
But while the crisis faded into the background, it never really went way.
Remedies that were sold as solutions haven't solved a thing.
The celebrated bailouts of countries like Portugal, Ireland, and especially Greece have served mainly to postpone real solutions that would be far more painful.
"The Eurozone politicians in their infinite wisdom have concluded that it is easier to prolong the agony than to take their medicine," said Money Morning Chief Investment strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald.
In fact, the Eurozone debt crisis is getting worse.
Collective debt among the 17 member nations is on the rise, having increased from 85.3% of GDP (gross domestic product) in 2010 to 87.2% last year. That's the highest level in the history of the Eurozone.
Unemployment in the Eurozone rose in March to 10.9%, up from 10.8% in February and 9.9% a year ago. Manufacturing also declined last month, as new orders fell for the 11th month in a row.
And the austerity imposed on the troubled PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) to bring their budget deficits and debts under control have actually made the situation worse.
"It's done no good at all," Fitz-Gerald said of the Eurozone's efforts to deal with the debt crisis. "It's an absolute travesty."
The steep and sudden cuts in spending are pushing most of Europe back into a recession, which will eventually be felt here at home.

The March Employment Report: Here's the Real Story with the U.S. Unemployment Rate
Fewer workers are marching in the unemployment line, but the March employment report shows that many are not yet returning to work.
U.S. employers added 120,000 jobs in March, pushing the U.S. unemployment rate down to 8.2%, the Labor Department reported today (Friday). Economists were looking for 210,000 jobs to be added in March, and the unemployment rate to stay at 8.3% as more discouraged workers reentered the job market.
Most market participants will have to wait until Monday to react to the disappointing numbers as exchanges are closed in observance of the Good Friday holiday. However, the bond market is open in a shortened trading session, and the Dow futures tumbled some 111 points following the release.
The less than stellar March employment report conflicts with several recent private surveys that show the economy is improving.
The March Employment Report Numbers
In the previous month, employers added 227,000, slightly more than expected. February capped the best six-month streak for job additions since the height of the financial crisis in 2008.
Michael Erwin of CareerBuilder recently told ABC News, "Thirty percent of employers we spoke to say they plan to hire full-time positions in the second quarter." That compares with 24% in the last survey three months ago.
Erwin added, "The numbers are going back to where they were pre-recession so that's good news employers are back to the table, they're looking to hire."
Jobless claims are now down to their lowest level in four years, after falling to 357,000 in the final week of March, the Labor Department said Thursday in advance of the monthly jobs report.
While the decline in unemployment insurance claims is good news, it does not tell the whole story.

Five Savvy Ways to Conquer the Wall of Worry
If you like extreme risk and consider living on the edge to be "normal," today's column isn't for you.
Today I'm writing to the millions of investors who are completely terrified by the prospect of what's next and who simply want their faith restored - not to mention their investments.
To all of them I would say: You are not alone and you're not wrong to be apprehensive.
Our political situation is an embarrassing train wreck, our national debt looks like a one way trip to financial hell, housing remains in the dungeon, unemployment is unacceptably high and Europe...oh Europe.
It's nothing short of a gigantic wall of worry.
Plus, there have been so many attempts to "fix" things that I've lost count. Throwing good money after bad is a fool's game and one that will have very real and inevitable consequences.
So what should investors do?
The Fed's War on CapitalismHere's how I see things. The "Whitewash Ministry" has basically five options:
- Repression
- Devaluation
- Austerity
- Deflation
- Inflation
Even though both would be the proper way for free markets to bleed out the excesses of the past, they are essentially political nukes and nobody has the willpower to touch either one of them.
The third, austerity, is being tried but only halfheartedly. Our leaders have no idea what this actually means. Since they remain completely unaccountable, there is no true incentive.
Besides, large numbers of people have figured out it's easier to be on the dole than it is to actually work, so this is another disincentive for meaningful cuts in spending.
As for inflation, this too is officially a non-starter as long as interest rates are held near zero. Unofficially, it's a different story. Most investors I know are feeling the heat of 12% to 15% a year in their wallets.
That leaves option number one - repression.
You can call it what you want, but repression is really a fancy way of saying that our government is conducting punitive monetary policy.
While they mouth off about how they want to create jobs and take care of the middle class, in reality they're eviscerating it.

I don't remember if I've seen this trailer before. When I first got into WoW, I searched YoueTube to watch the Warcraft cut-scenes, as I never played the RTS games. The puppet-like dragon looks familiar, but the rest, not so much.
I actually like this one better than the released WoW trailer (vanilla cinematc), but that may just be my Horde bias. ;) Elves and dwarves are bland to me, compared to playable monsters. My first toon's race was undead because it was such a novel thing to be able to play the zombie instead of the usual zombie-killer character.
Funny how the main gate of Orgrimmar in this trailer looks like the current in-game version more than the pre-4.0 version.

Kathy Giusti and MMRF Featured in Harvard Business Review
Recognized for accelerating research to improve treatment of multiple myeloma-
Norwalk, CT — June 7, 2011
The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) today announced that the June issue of the Harvard Business Review features a profile of MMRF founder and CEO, Kathy Giusti, chronicling her journey from corporate leader in the pharmaceutical industry to nonprofit entrepreneur.
As described in the HBR article, Giusti, a graduate of Harvard Business School (HBS), who also recently addressed the HBS MBA Class of 2011 during the Class Day ceremonies, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma as a pharmaceutical executive at G.D. Searle. Following diagnosis, and upon discovering an empty and stalled new drug pipeline for multiple myeloma, she founded the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) to apply innovative means to accelerate the development of new multiple myeloma treatments and effectively extend patient lives.
The article describes the impact MMRF has had in helping to advance four approved therapies for multiple myeloma in the past decade alone. It also highlights how the Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC), founded in 2004, has helped to support the launch and rapid completion of more than 30 clinical trials of new and combination therapies, including eight now in late stage clinical development.
"I'm honored to have the opportunity to highlight through this publication the impressive efforts underway by researchers and the industry to effectively treat multiple myeloma," said Giusti. "In the last 15 years, we have seen a vastly improved understanding of the disease and made great strides to increase the number of treatment options available to patients. While there is still much work to be done, I'm confident that patients will continue to benefit from new and targeted treatment options through the dedication of the multiple myeloma community, a collaborative approach to R&D, and the continued effort to build upon and leverage our biologic understanding of the disease."
About Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is an incurable blood cancer. The five-year relative survival rate for multiple myeloma is approximately 34 percent, one of the lowest of all cancers. In 2010, more than 20,000 adults in the United States were estimated to be diagnosed with multiple myeloma and approximately 11,000 people died from the disease.
About the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF)
Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) was established in 1998 as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization by twin sisters Karen Andrews and Kathy Giusti, soon after Kathy's diagnosis with multiple myeloma. The mission of the MMRF is to relentlessly pursue innovative means that accelerate the development of next-generation multiple myeloma treatments to extend the lives of patients and lead to a cure. As the world's number-one private funder of multiple myeloma research, the MMRF has raised over $165 million since its inception to fund nearly 120 laboratories worldwide, including 70 new compounds and approaches in clinical trials and pre-clinical studies and has facilitated 30 clinical trials through its affiliate organization, the Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC). As exceptional stewards of its donor's investments, the MMRF consistently surpasses its peers in fiscal responsibility. For more information about the MMRF, please visit www.themmrf.org.
About the Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium
The Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC) is a 509(a)3 non-profit organization that integrates leading academic institutions to accelerate drug development in multiple myeloma. It is led from MMRC offices in Norwalk, Conn., and comprises 16 member institutions. Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center at Dallas, City of Hope, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute, the John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute, Mayo Clinic, Ohio State University, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Sarah Cannon Research Institute, University Health Network (Princess Margaret Hospital), University of California-San Francisco, University of Chicago, University of Michigan, Virginia Cancer Specialists, and Washington University.
The MMRC was founded in 2004 by Kathy Giusti, a myeloma patient, and with the help of the scientific community. The MMRC is a sister organization to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF), the world's leading funder of multiple myeloma research. The MMRC is widely recognized as an optimal research model to rapidly address critical challenges in drug development and to explore opportunities in the today's most promising research areas in genomics, compound validation, and clinical trials. The MMRC is the only consortium to join academic institutions through membership agreements, customized IT systems, and an integrated tissue bank. For more information, please visit www.themmrc.org.

Adverse selection, market access and inter-market competition
AbstractWe study the role of informed trading in a fragmented financial market under the absence of inter-market price priority. Due to frictions in traders' market access, liquidity providers on alternative trading platforms may be exposed to an increased adverse selection risk. As a consequence, the main market dominates (offers better quotes) frequently albeit charging higher transaction fees. The empirical analysis of a dataset of trading in French and German stocks suggests that trades on Chi-X, a lowcost trading platform, carry significantly more private information than those executed in the Primary Markets. Consistent with our theory, we find a negative relationship between the competitiveness of Chi-X's quotes and this excess adverse selection risk faced by liquidity providers in the cross-section. Our results have some implications for the design of best-execution policies. JEL Classification: G10, G14, G24

The Department of Natural Resources is helping Putnam County Sheriff's office search for Shirley Dermond, 87, and her husband's head.
Police found 88-year old Russell Dermond's body in his garage on Tuesday. Police said someone cut off his head and took it with them.
The DNR gave CBS 46 an exclusive boat ride into the cove behind the Dermond's home. It's the only other way someone could access the Dermond's lakefront property on Reynolds' Plantation in the Great Waters Community.
Since the discovery was made Tuesday, investigators have been using sonar technology to search Lake Oconee.
Police believe Shirley Dermond was abducted, but the are not ruling out the possibility that she may have been killed and her body tossed in the lake.
"Usually when we have a drowning victim, the body has gasses in it. As the water heats up it causes the gasses to expand then you have a chance of recovering a body because they float to the surface," said DNR Corporal David Allen.
Allen searched the cove with sonar equipment on Friday.
"If anything has been put in the lake, body wise, then as the temperature rises the gasses of the body expands causing it to be buoyant and it floats to the top."

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - For many churches across the country, Sunday was "Gun Violence Prevention Sabbath."
At one church here in San Diego, families recounted personal stories about how gun violence has impacted their lives.
Stories of loss and calls for change filled the walls of St. Stephens Cathedral in Valencia Park Sunday.
Over the past several years, 12 families within this congregation have lost a loved one to gun violence.
Frank Ramirez's son Adam was murdered on August 2nd, 2005. He was shot by a gang member, although he himself was not in a gang.
Ramirez and his wife Teresa have spent the last six years trying to curb gun violence by telling their story.
A continuing effort he says means more now than ever before.
Across the country, more than 150 churches took part in "Gun Violence Prevention Sabbath."
It was organized by Pico, a national faith based community, in response to last month's massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
The tragedy has prompted cities everywhere to speak up about the need for more gun control.
Las week, the Chula Vista City Council adopted a resolution asking the federal government to pass tougher laws.
Elder Mark Robson says what members are striving for has nothing to do with people's second amendment rights but rather a change to how guns are sold and who winds up using them.
Pico estimates 100,000 worshippers nationwide took part in Sunday's "Gun Violence Prevention Sabbath."

How can social media networks be used for forming communities of ORGAN DONATION for transplantation?
Health conditions requiring replacement of a damaged organ is something that is increasingly being known in the public domain. This condition is a difficult situation for the patient and the family. Because it is very difficult to find persons who are ready to donate organ and also their blood type matches with the patient. How can social media/networks form organ donation chains connected to relatives of patients so that multiple patients find mutually consenting relatives with matching blood types who would donate their organs, e.g. kidney, liver.

Feb 27 2012: wow, great question!
If facebook can use the information i put into it to create a profile that matches me to my lost friends and colleauges how powerful would it be if i consented to let it store my willingness to donate my organs, my blood type etc and allowed a searchable function. Very powerful but does it leave you exposed to feel cornered into donating to a 'relative' stranger.
Mar 11 2012: Also creates all kinds of security issues and possibilities for rather science-fictiony types of abuse. I do think, though, that for the many many people out there who genuinely don't seem to care about protecting this information, this use of facebook might be quite useful. (Not trying to rain on your parade, so to speak, just raising concerns.)

I finally bothered addressing my haters on the Double X but I know the purists among you will want to read the unabridged version:
Linda Hirshman is a celebrated author, lawyer and philosophy professor. Lizz Winstead is a comedian and political satirist who co-founded the infallible Daily Show. I am a financial journalist who a few years ago was driven by financial necessity into the Hobbsean field of stay-at-home punditry known as professional blogging. That someone with my resume would be capable of (almost completely inadvertently) capturing the interest of individuals fitting the first two descriptions is one of the few perks of submitting oneself to the draining, malodorous conditions of my industry. I should be totally stoked to have gotten myself into a flame war with two persons of such distinction. And in any other case, over any other issue, I am sure I would be. But that's just the issue: what the hell is the issue?
If there ever was an underlying philosophical debate to this feud it has certainly been lost over the course of its convoluted history, which began last June, when Hirshman wrote a column for the Washington Post Outlook section bemoaning support of Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton among white women of my generation. The Post website commissioned me to author a rebuttal to Hirshman's screed. The gist of her argument was that my generation had "somewhat ignobly" abandoned the feminist politics of self-interest in favor of policies more interested in serving humanity. I suggested this might be because we care about people other than our partners in demography, she mocked me for the "blogger's disease" of emoting, but by October she was praising Obama for taking up "the daunting task of explaining to Americans why they should once again care for one another." If there was any substance to this debate, Hirshman has already conceded the victory to "The Great Political Theorist Maureen Tkacik."
But internet wars are nothing if not severely substance-resistant, and "events" as I have thus far recounted them comprise a tiny fraction of the millions of page views and tens of thousands of inflammatory comments this war would generate when Winstead read my column, as any substance averse internet addict may know.
Now, I do not know how exactly I wound up agreeing to appear on Thinking and Drinking, a small New York comedy production hosted by Winstead under the rubric of something aptly called "Shoot The Messenger Productions." The thing was mostly coordinated by my friend and Jezebel colleague Tracie Egan, who is also named in Hirshman's indictment of Jezebel and had been invited to the show by one of Winstead's producers, who professed to be a daily reader of the site. The producer told us she and Winstead felt Jezebel represented a new class of emerging media outlets that "got it," and wanted to interview us about sex, pop culture and politics; Tracie said the latter was my beat and the two of us agreed to handle the show together. All I know is that the Hirshman rebuttal seemed to be my only piece of writing Winstead had read, and by the time she brought it up a much bigger and less coherent battle was well underway.
Here's what happened: I showed up skittish after a day at the blog, was handed two beers and instructed to get drunk; imbibed them while watching a political comedy show and waiting anxiously for Tracie to arrive; before long we were onstage joking about sex. Winstead asked Tracie if she believed abortion was an ideal form of contraception; Tracie said the pullout method was a lot less painful; Winstead offered that she'd had a sufficient number of abortions to be warrant the pet name "Terminator 3" and reminisced about a more promiscuous era during which she offered sex to men as a quid pro quo for their assistance moving boxes in the morning; I told a charming story about my mother assuming my toothbrush was a vibrator; suddenly Winstead wanted to know how we balanced our "sexual freedom" with the fact that "it's not always safe to just have a free, 100% total sexual life." Then I offered, god knows why, that during a more promiscuous era I had in fact gone home with a guy when I'd been locked out of my house and fallen victim to date rape; Winstead refilled our wine cups a few more times and demanded to know why I hadn't reported the incident to police, and in a clumsy and drink-addled and characteristically idiotic attempt to inject humor back into the conversation, I replied that I'd had "better things to do, like drinking more," a comment that Winstead would highlight in a furious post on her Huffington Post blog the following week.
From there my statements would go on to scandalize pundits right and left, professional and troll. On the PBS program "To The Contrary", the Heritage Foundation's Genevieve Wood would concur with Women's Campaign Forum president Ilana Goldman's assessment that my performance "reflect[ed] badly on women as a class." Subdued but never vanquished by such competing memes as the collapse of the global financial system and the historic election of Hirshman's care advocate in chief, the conflict would flare up again in December, when New York magazine would use it to peg a trend piece on women and drinking in a passage Leonard Lopate would repeat in horror on his eponymous radio show later that month.
But it was Hirshman who bravely courted charges of "overness" when she carried this meme into the current year, nearly to its first anniversary, in honor of the debut of the website Double X.
I turned on my computer one morning last summer, and there was a YouTube clip of two women, manifestly drunk, discussing why one of them could not be bothered to call the police when she was raped.
Fucking this again??, I thought, and pondered finally defending myself on a blog or something. I had not bothered to formally defend myself regarding the issue — and yeah, drinking was among the activities that seemed more worthwhile — beyond placing an irritated call to Lopate in December. What, I asked him, did you think I meant when I said that? Did it strike you as serious?
"It sounded awful to me, I gotta tell you Moe," he said. "It said to me I'm willing to put myself in a dangerous situation again."
Oh Jesus, but okay. I offered him a few contextual details: it was uttered during a comedy show. Called Thinking & Drinking. In response to a disarmingly serious (and I have been told inappropriate, but whatever) question. Concerning something that had happened ten years earlier. To a younger, former self I get to joke about now because I am old enough to have trustworthy sex partners to whom to turn when I lose my keys.
The New York writer offered that she felt the comment had been "tongue-in-cheek." Suddenly Lopate got it. "It was in the same kind of spirit that when people used to ask me when I was a smoker if I knew about cancer, and I would say, 'please don't make me nervous, I'm going to need another cigarette,' and I thought that was witty at the time," he said. Exactly!
"Now I think I was being an idiot, but that's a whole other matter."
"People make short-term decisions all the time that counteract their long-term interests!" I said, eyeing the pack of Parliaments on my coffee table longingly. "I mean, that is just life."
Next caller.
Which is, of course, part of the answer to Hirshman's (rhetorical?) question: "How can women supposedly acting freely and powerfully keep turning up tales of vulnerability — repulsive sexual partners, pregnancy, STDs, even rape?" Yes, drinking is fun, and sex feels better without a condom. I can come up with some pretty good evolutionary biology-based explanations as to why these things are true, but human biology never seems to quite keep pace with the aspirations of its civilization. Our long-term and short-term desires are locked in permanent conflict with one another, and then you die.
Which brings me to the bigger obvious explanation for why supposedly free women persist in being vulnerable all the time, which can also be summarized by a popular beachwear slogan known as "shit happens."
In truth I didn't report my date rapist for a whole slew of reasons other than the opportunity cost of all the lost boozing hours. Because I remembered events only well enough to find them more insulting than traumatizing. Because I chewed him out in the morning and told everyone I knew and thought that would be more productive. And after I chewed him out and things calmed down he asked me about my job at the local newspaper, where at the time I covered murders and drug busts and violent, non-date rapes committed by sociopathic serial rapists who preyed on crack addicted hookers whose mangled bodies eventually turned up in state parks. Which was another thing I was busy with that summer, logging enough in various outposts of the Philadelphia criminal justice system to know much better than my date rapist the odds that such a case would hold up in a 20-mile radius of a grand jury: zero.
I could have said that to Winstead, and added that there are probably more productive ways to shame douchebag fratboys than volunteering to testify in court about something rather unmemorable that happened while you were passed out drunk, because fundamentally I felt then and still feel that the problem of douchebags cannot be solved in courtrooms. The problem of douchebags is that they are so divorced from the reality of the world outside their frat houses that they lack any conception whatsoever of what sort of shit is really happening. I did not believe the problem with my date rapist was something you would find in the DSM because it seemed to be fundamentally less a deliberate act but a sin of omission, a disregard of the lives or desires of anyone but himself that happened one drunk night to enable him to tell himself, "Nah, she's just saying no." So I told him about this housewife I knew who ministered to junkies in the worst slums of the citiy, and how American drug policy is so totally fucked up it is willing to pay three or four times the cost of rehab to incarcerate addicts and petty drug criminals when white collar fraudsters like Michael Milken had campus buildings named after them, etc. etc.. And I lit up a cigarette and he told me not to smoke because his father had had lung cancer.
And in retrospect it is funny that he would castigate me for smoking (and on the basis of his father's having succumbed to a major health hazard that was not exactly some secret, hello Lopate) so soon after "victimizing" me. But my first impulse, and maybe this is a woman thing, was to feel lucky for my own dad's good health and remember how shit happens to everyone, all the time, and how much worse it could be. I never ended up quitting, though. Maybe Hirshman can get a column out of that.

TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers, Texas Rangers
LOS ANGELES Finally. An honest man. Maybe even two. Zack Greinke said that when it came down to choosing the Dodgers over other teams pursuing him, it was all about the money. The new Dodgers right-hander said that he was leaning toward joining the Texas Rangers before taking the Dodgers offer of 147 million over six years. The negotiations changed, he said. Was it the money that put the Dodgers over the top? Greinke smiled and said: Thats what it comes down to at the end. A no-nonsense type on the mound and usually reticent with the media, the 2009 American League Cy Young Award winner seemed happy to be regaling inquisitors with truthful tales of negotiations. Even though he now has the highest average salary for a pitcher on a multi-year deal, he knows his place in the record books wont last long. The moneys getting higher and higher, said the 29-year-old Florida native, and thats just how baseball is. As soon as a couple of other guys sign, Ill be passed. And it may...

The Trust
Byker is a unique, Grade II* listed estate and in need of investment to update it. We think the Trust is the best way to make this happen. The Trust can also make a difference in other ways by helping to promote the work of community groups and be creating opportunities for training and employment to improve quality of life for residents.
BCT are committed to keeping rents at social rent levels in line with government policy. A key stock transfer promise was that for a 5 year period following the Housing Transfer, our rents would not increase more than a maximum limit which current government policy allows. After the first 5 years, BCT will only increase rents in line with government rent policy.
The BCT board is made up of 13 people: 4 tenant members, 4 independent members, 2 City Council nominees, 1 YHN nominee and a co-optee.
The main objective for the BCT is to invest in the estate for the benefit of tenants and the details of this investment are set out in the Offer Document. The BCT will also work to improve the physical condition and management of non-residential buildings on the estate. It will have regeneration objectives which will provide opportunities for local training and employment and also create opportunities for social enterprise to deliver services on the estate.
Yes. All improvements to the estate will protect its heritage value.
Yes. There is a small team of 5 staff working on behalf of the BCT.
No, the type of investment planned by the BCT will include improvements to the District Heating scheme and substantial environmental improvements which will also benefit owner occupiers and leaseholders as well as tenants.
In addition to delivering many improvements to housing and the general environment on the estate, the BCT is also committed to working with residents and community groups to improve life chances for everyone.
YHN will still deliver the services it does now on behalf of the BCT and the Board.
This map in the Offer Document shows the area that will be transferred to the BCT. All homes currently owned by the City Council that fall within the red line will be transferred to BCT ownership.
The BCT will own the housing on behalf of the community.
There will be an extensive process of consultation with residents to prioritise works to each neighbourhood and produce solutions which satisfy English Heritage but also tackle the problems facing residents on a day to day basis.
Getting Involved
Yes. The BCT Board will decide what happens on the estate and manage how the budget is spent. 4 of the BCT board members are tenants. Key decisions such as the approval of the annual accounts are made at Annual General Meetings. Tenants are eligible to become shareholders of the BCT. This will enable tenants to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting which is held annually in September.
All residents should receive regular newsletters and leaflets. We will also keep this website updated and we have held, and will be holding a number of community events in and around the Byker Estate. A text alert service is also available. Please text BYKER to 88802 to register. Please note you will be charged a one off fee of 8p when you sign up for this service.

Obama TPP Trade Deal Secrecy Insulting, According To Senator Ron Wyden
Zach Carter | June 7, 2012 | OpEdNews.com
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has loosened some of its most stringent secrecy policies surrounding a controversial set of free trade negotiations, but the Democratic chair of a Senate subcommittee on international trade is demanding far greater transparency provisions — and garnering Republican support for his effort.
In late May, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), chair of the Senate Finance Subcommittee on International Trade, introduced new legislation that would require the White House to share trade documents with all members of Congress and their qualified staff. The move was largely a symbolic act of protest against the secrecy the White House has imposed on a new trade deal, known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
The agency responsible for trade negotiations — the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative — had denied Wyden office access to any of the draft documents involved in the trade pact, offering an unusual legal argument that only a handful of members of Congress were permitted to view them. After Wyden introduced his legislation, however, USTR partially relented, allowing Wyden to see the documents, but not his staff.
That's better than nothing, Wyden spokeswoman Jennifer Hoelzer told HuffPost, but not helpful from a practical standpoint, given that congressional staff perform much of the legislative work on Capitol Hill.
"I would point out how insulting it is for them to argue that members of Congress are to personally go over to USTR to view the trade documents," Hoelzer said. "An advisor at Halliburton or the MPAA is given a password that allows him or her to go on the USTR website and view the TPP agreement anytime he or she wants."
The general public and most nonprofit organizations have no access to the documents, although a number of corporate officials can see them.
USTR told HuffPost that members of Congress can "be accommodated at an appropriate location on Capitol Hill" and said, "We are continuing to work directly with Senator Wyden and his staff to be responsive to the concerns he raises about TPP transparency, and are glad to be doing so; this is an important conversation."
USTR's refusal to share documents with congressional staffers has also raised the hackles of Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), who agreed to co-sponsor Wyden's bill after his own staffer was turned away.
"When our staff requested to review the TPP on behalf of the senator, even staff with what we consider to be appropriate clearance were denied access," Burr spokesman David Ward told HuffPost.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has been more aggressive, leaking the entire text of the draft intellectual property chapter to the public on his website. Although the document had previously been available over the internet through legally dubious channels, Issa's posting was viewed as a political shot across the bow.
Public health experts and internet freedom advocates have bemoaned both the secretive negotiation process and the actual terms of the trade pact, which they claim threaten to drive up global medicine prices and curb online innovation.
Wyden and Issa are widely viewed as Capitol Hill allies of the tech community as a result of their efforts to block the Stop Online Piracy Act and its Senate partner, the Protect IP Act. The administration's refusal to share Trans-Pacific documents with Wyden for months sparked concern that Obama was selectively freezing out critics of the deal from the talks.

Employees of Mercedes Benz Financial Services spent Friday morning cruising around Farmington Hills, getting to know the community better and volunteering their time with local non-profits.
The company's third annual road rally involved eight steps that were completed between 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., with photographs and team-building challenges along the way. Jenn Korman, who works in community relations, said teams volunteered at , the Eight Mile Boulevard Association, a arts camp and Beyond Basics, a nonprofit that gives kids the opportunity to publish their own books.
"Elementary age students write the books, which are bound by volunteers," Korman said of Beyond Basics, a Detroit charity. "Many of the students don't have any books in their home."
Groups also helped the Eight Mile Boulevard Association, by landscaping an area in , just west of Gill Road.
"We call them our fairy godparents," said Tami Salisbury, the Association's executive director. "Without our corporate donors, a lot of what we do on Eight Mile Road could not be completed." Investing in improving the border between Detroit and its suburbs, she said, gives donors a stake in the road and transforming its image as a "connector", rather than a "divider".
Salisbury said Mercedes Benz Financial Services is a stand out among the Association's corporate supporters.
"Not only do they require their employees to do community services, they coordinate those activities," she said. "They don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk."
Korman said giving back to the company's non-profit partners is one of three purposes for the road rally. It also stresses team-building, and employees learn more about the company's vehicles, which were on display at some of the stops.
"A bonus of it is that so many of us work here but don't live in Farmington Hills," she said, "so this is an opportunity to showcase the city."
Jelena Jelich, the company's new director of communications, said the event also contributes to a "fun work environment. It is not always just about the work, it's about enjoying coming in to work each day."
For Waterford resident Allison Schreiner, an intern and student at Oakland University, the rally provided a unique look at the company. At every stop, teams could see how Mercedes Benz's charitable contributions were put into action, she said.
"It's cool to see what Mercedes Benz does in the community," Schreiner added, "because I wouldn't necessarily get to know all that."
