ESA awaiting signal from Rosetta comet probe
Like nervous parents, scientists and engineers at ESA are pacing the floor of mission control as they await word of whether or not the Rosetta spacecraft has survived 31 months of hibernation. The unmanned comet chaser was scheduled to reactivate itself today at 10:00 GMT, but the time required to complete the operation and the distance a radio signal must travel back to Earth means that the space agency will not know until at least 17:30 GMT if the probe is operating again or has become deep space scrap.

NASA's Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) may have only come back online last September after a 31-month hibernation, but it's already producing results. According to the space agency, the unmanned spacecraft discovered a never-before-seen asteroid on December 29 – the first discovery of its new mission to seek out potentially hazardous near-Earth objects (NEOs).

Asteroid impact welcomes in the New Year
Earth saw in the New Year with some celestial fireworks as the first asteroid to be discovered this year, 2014AA, likely impacted the Earth between 7 pm Wednesday and 2 pm Thursday GMT. Read More
NEOWISE returns first test images post hibernation
NASA's Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) has sent back the first test images from its 16-in (40-cm) telescope and infrared cameras as it is prepared for its new mission. Intended to seek out potentially dangerous asteroids and help in selecting a near-Earth object as part of the space agency's asteroid retrieval effort, NASA says NEOWISE will be a powerful tool for discovering, cataloging and understanding the asteroids in the inner Solar System.

NASA testing lighter space suits for asteroid work
Sometimes you have to take a step back to take a step forward. NASA is carrying out initial tests on a new, lighter spacesuit for use by the crew of the Orion spacecraft that is currently under development. The tests are being carried out in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory near the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas on a modified version of the pumpkin orange suit normally worn by Space Shuttle crews during liftoff and re-entry and is a return to a space suit design of the 1960s.

Planetary Resources partners with NASA to crowdsource asteroid detection
We are continually being surprised by new discoveries of near-Earth asteroids and comets, often noticing them only after they have completed a close approach. Only one asteroid has ever been found and projected to impact prior to its actually doing so. With that in mind, NASA, Planetary Resources, and Zooniverse have formed a collaboration to use citizen scientists to detect members of the vast swarm of near-Earth objects not yet recognized or mapped.

Astronomers spot bizarre six-tailed asteroid
In the old days, astronomy was simple – comets had tails and asteroids didn't. Now, as if to not only disprove such established views, but drive the point home, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took images in September of an asteroid called P/2013 P5 that has not one, but six comet-like tails.

GRAIL mission casts new light on the "Man in the Moon"
Sometimes great mysteries hang right over our heads. We're so used to looking up and seeing the "Man in the Moon" that we often don't realize that those familiar dark areas on the face of our nearest neighbor are part of a centuries old question that has yet to be answered. Many hypotheses have been put forward and now data from NASA's twin Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) lunar orbiters has provided new insights into how the surface of the Moon formed and how its distinctive "seas" came to be.

In what at first glance seems like a terrible sense of direction, in March students from the University of Washington fired rockets from kites and balloons at an altitude of 3,000 ft (914 m) straight into the ground at Black Rock, Nevada: a dry lake bed in the desert 100 mi (160 km) north of Reno. This may seem like the ultimate in larking about, but it's actually a serious effort to develop new ways of collecting samples from asteroids. Read More
Gaia launch delayed over dicey components
The Gaia mission to map a billion stars in the Milky Way has been delayed for about two months by the European Space Agency. Problems in X-band transponders used in other satellites have begun to appear, and the ESA has decided to replace those modules prior to launching. The likely blastoff date will be in late December of this year. Read More

That went remarkably well. The Federal Reserve released a hawk-tinged statement from its October FOMC meeting–and stocks bent but did not break.
The S&P 500 dipped 0.1% to 1,982.30 today, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has slipped 0.2% to 16,974.31. The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.3% to 4,549.23.
Here's what happened: As expected, the Fed ended its bond buying, but left the "considerable time" between the end of asset purchases and the first rate hike intact. A little more surprising: It painted an alnost rosy picture of the U.S. economy that all but ignored the market turmoil of the last month. The Fed called the risks to the job outlook and economy "nearly balanced," spotted "solid job gains" and noted that the "underutilization of labor resources. is gradually diminishing." CRT Capital's David Ader takes it all in:
Bottom line is that this is a bit more optimistic than before with some enthusiasm for labor market and household spending. Inflation remains an issue and mentions energy and 'other' factors (presumably the dollar) and so that extends this concern a bit as does the idea of "Market-based measures of inflation compensation having declined (whatever that is). We look for extended period to disappear in Dec or very very soon so that's moot point. Note that distant Fed fund futures are very little changed which makes sense.
ISI Group's Dennis DeBusschere hopes the Fed is reading things right:
…although inflation is clearly front and center, they are for now talking about temporary influences, and they note that labor underutilization is gradually diminishing. Hope they are correct on inflation expectations being wrong and temporary influences keeping inflation low. Market could react very poorly to inflation exp being correct and influences being more than just temporary.
Making the market's recent gains temporary, too.
Shares of Amgen (AMGN) shot higher yesterday following its solid earnings report–and its financials were solid enough for Nomura's M. Ian Somaiya to upgrade its shares to Buy from Neutral. He explains why:
Our upgrade is based on our view that Amgen has significantly improved its longer-term outlook following additional cost-cutting measures which should support a nearly 15 point improvement in operating margins by 2018E and drive double-digit EPS growth. However, the key to our upgrade is the ability of the company's biosimilar portfolio to offset erosion of its base business, enabling its pipeline to drive growth beyond 2018.
Somaiya also calls Amgen, which trades at 17.5 times forward earnings, "too cheap to ignore." Shares of Amgen have gained 0.8% to $158.51 at 3:25 p.m. today
There's good news and bad news in a today's Credit Suisse report on the offshore drillers. The good news is that the number of rigs needing to be taken off the market to rebalance supply and demand is probably lower than many expect. The bad news: There are still a lot of rigs that need to be "stacked" before the job is done.
Credit Suisse analysts Gregory Lewis and Neesha Khanna explain:
While some industry vets put the number of required floater retirements to balance the market at 50 (makes sense as ~50 UDW floaters are scheduled for delivery from 2014-2016 at established yards) we are thinking the number is closer to 30. The 20 rig difference is based on an assumption of 3-4% rig demand growth over the next two years. Bottom line: more rigs need to be stacked to balance the market and this only happens if the market continues to languish – no one will stack a rig in a rising market…
Noble (NE), Transocean (RIG), Ensco (ESV), and Diamond Offshore (DO) are asking themselves that question. While Transocean has 8 floaters stacked, they have not stacked a rig in over a year (sort of) – that may soon change. More recently both Diamond Offshore (Q3) and Ensco (Q2) have taken write downs and starting the stacking/scrapping process.
So who's been stacking rigs? Lewis and Khanna point to Ensco and Diamond Offshore:
Last quarter Ensco announced plans to stack 5 floaters and hold them for sale (we expect buyers to be limited) and also announced plans to stack the DS-2 for a total of 6 stacked rigs since last October. Not to be out done last week, Diamond Offshore announced plans to scrap 6 floaters; this included 3 long term stacked rigs and 3 rigs that have worked in the last 12 months (1 is still working). Additionally, Diamond Offshore recently stacked 2 other floaters (1976 built). A bit dazed and confused but that is 5 stackings from Diamond Offshore in the last year for a total of 11 stacked rigs between Diamond Offshore and Ensco. Who's next?
Shares of Diamond Offshore have ticked up 0.1% to $38.90 at 1:03 p.m., while Ensco is unchanged at $38.91, Transocean has gained 0.4% to
$40 $30 and Noble has dropped 0.8% to $20.77.
Orbital Sciences (ORB) made news in the worst way possible when its rocket carrying supplies to the International Space Station exploded on takeoff.
Orbital's shares have dropped 15% to $25.70 at 11:35 a.m. but Stifel's Joseph DeNardi and Sawyer McKelvey thinks that reflects much of the possible damage. He explains:
Orbital's Antares experienced a catastrophic anomaly during launch in its third CRS mission. The cause is not yet known. According to footage from NASA TV, the current focus appears to be securing the classified cargo that was on board the rocket and assessing damage to the launch facility-which could be fairly extensive based on commentary from NASA personnel…Clearly, it is difficult to assess the longer-term impact of this event on Orbital's financials but we would anticipate it negatively impacting sales, earnings, and cash flow. While Orbital's launch insurance should cover losses associated with this anomaly, we would expect additional work on CRS to be slowed as NASA and Orbital investigate the cause.
16% Selloff Seems to Price-In Near Worst-Case: If we assume a $20m reduction in EBIT from CRS in 2015 and 2016 (a fairly poor outcome for ORB) and value Orbital at a lower multiple (14x instead of 18x) to account for higher risk and lower FCF, we get a combined Orbital-ATK value of $61 with Orbital shareholders owning 46%, or $28 (compared to our prior target price of $33). Based on what is known and our analysis of a reasonable worst-case scenario, we would be buyers below $28. We anticipate updating our estimates as more information regarding the financial impact becomes available.
Anyone willing to catch this exploding rocket?
U.S. Steel's (X) earnings thrilled investors today, causing the stock to jump nearly 10%. Is the big gain a selling opportunity?
U.S. Steel reported a profit of $2.16 a share once massive charges related to the closure of its Canadian operations and other items were stripped out of its results, easily topping forecasts for $1.20 a share, on revenue of $4.59 billion, narrowly topping forecasts for $4.54 billion. U.S. Steel offered a more muted take on the fourth quarter, however.
Axiom Capital's Gordon Johnson thinks U.S. Steel's big beat was "one-time in nature." He explains why:
We maintain our negative bias on X, as we believe C4Q14 guidance confirms our view that C3Q14's stellar earnings result is one-time in nature. More specifically, taking the company's C4Q14 guidance for: (a.) Flat-Rolled op. income slightly above $100mn (we assume $105mn), (b.) slightly better incremental European op. income (we assume $31mn), and (c.) slightly better incremental Tubular op. income (we assume $80mn), as well as $18mn from other businesses and $18mn for postretirement (falling from $26mn in C3Q14 due to X's shedding of the Canadian business), we arrive at $205mn in aggregated op. income, or just $345mn in adjusted EBITDA from $611mn in C3Q14; taking $60mn in interest expense and assuming a 23% tax rate produces EPS of around $0.77/shr (vs. current Consensus ests. of $0.87/shr).
Nomura's Curt Woodworth is still feeling bullish on U.S. Steel:
We reiterate our bullish view on US Steel, as we believe 3Q-14 results confirm continued strengthening of the company's through-the-cycle earnings power and its ability to generate significant FCF in the coming years. We believe U.S. Steel can generate cumulative FCF of over $1.5bn in 2015 and 2016, allowing it to accelerate investment in some of these growth areas. U.S. Steel reported adj. EBITDA of $611mm, well above our $433mm estimate and consensus $483mm; adj. EPS of $2.16 was also significantly above our $1.08 estimate and consensus ($1.20). Flat-rolled maintenance costs are expected to increase by $150mm in 4Q-14, as U.S. Steel plans to reline its Mon Valley Works, while Granite City and Great Lakes will both undergo minor maintenance project in the quarter, resulting in both higher cost as well as lost production.
U.S. Steel has jumped 9.7% to $$1.83 at 11:11 a.m., and lifted other steel stocks higher with it. Steel Dynamics (STLD) has gained 0.9% to $22.79, while AK Steel (AKS) has climbed 3.3% to $7.59 after Deutsche Bank added it to their short-term Buy list.
Sometimes an earnings miss is just plain unimportant–and that's been the case for Anadarko Petroleum (APC) today.
Anadarko reported a profitof $1.16 a share, missing the Street consensus for $1.27 but its shares have gained 1.8% to $92 at 10:52 a.m. today. What gives? Credit Suisse analyst Arun Jayaram says Anadarko's results are "much better than meets the eye." He explains why:
While the first blush reaction would appear negative (headline miss, lower oil volumes, and cash flow miss), this would be the wrong conclusion, in our view, as operating results were strong. The source of the headline and oil production miss was the timing of crude liftings in Algeria, which masked a significant U.S. oil beat. In fact, Anadarko raised its full-year production guidance by 1.5% to 305 MMBoe at the mid-point on the strength of US oil production—which is the key driver of the stock. APC's adjusted cash flow reflects the anticipated deferral of the $550 MM Tronox (TROX) tax benefit to Q115. Adjusting for this discrete tax item, adjusted Q314 cash flow per share of $4.58 would have comfortably topped our estimate and the Street. Meanwhile, Q4 volume guidance looks conservative as Lucius is expected to commence production in coming weeks.
Anadarko has dropped 13% during the past month of trading.
Shares of Gilead Sciences (GILD) are falling today after the biotech giant released earnings that the missed the Street consensus.
Gilead reported a profit of $1.84 a share, missing forecasts for $1.93, on sales of $6.04 billion. Gilead's earnings were hit by the so-called Branded Prescription Drug Fee, an excise tax included in the Affordable Care Act, as well sluggish sales of Gilead's Hepatitis-C drug Sovaldi.
Leerink's Howard Liang and team call the Sovaldi sales "relatively unimportant." They explain why:
[We] view US Sovaldi sales this quarter (which were lower than consensus) as relatively unimportant as all eyes turn to the Harvoni launch but we believe progression of OUS Sovaldi sales were encouraging as most of the $617M sales in 3Q were from only two countries Germany and France and reimbursement has progressed well . In addition, products other than Sovaldi grew 8% sequentially although inventory for HIV products finished at the upper end of the range. The company narrowed guidance for total sales of $22-23B (from $21-23B previously), which we believe is conservative given the strong (albeit early) trends seen so far with Harvoni as well as positive commentary on many more prescriptions written, a broader initial prescriber group and earlier prescribing.
Piper Jaffray's Joshua Schimmer and Jerry Yang all Gilead's quarter "sloppy" but don't appear worried:
GILD reported a somewhat sloppy 3Q, with strong beats for the HIV franchise, particularly products that are facing generic entry over the next 5-7 years, while the HCV franchise that is also being replaced by the new HCV franchise came in weak. We were disappointed to see the EU HCV market not growing more swiftly, but that may be the new nature of European launches, and the tax rate was higher than hoped – a large-cap theme lately. In the end, this quarter isn't that important for GILD as its shares are primarily dependent on the new wave of HCV products, its next-gen HIV franchise, and ability to sustain some type of EPS growth through various financial strategies. Reiterate OW and our PT increases by $2 to $120 to reflect revisions to our model.
Shares of Gilead Sciences have dropped 1.9% to $111.36 at 10:45 a.m. today.
When a company has been beaten down as much as Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF), you would think it would want to set easy-to-hit targets. Cliffs Natural Resources' CEO Lourenco Goncalves chose the opposite route. Wells Fargo's Sam Dubkinsky explains:
The new CEO was pretty bold on the earnings call, expecting to either sell a stake in high cost Canadian operations or shutdown the asset with minimal recourse to parent. Cliffs also believes it can lower its cash production cost per ton in U.S. operations to the low $50′s/ton vs. about $59 in Q3 2014 over the next few years, as well as maintain its dividend (investors have been expecting a cut). The company also still wants to sell coal operations and Australia, though is waiting it out for an attractive offer.
We're cautious on shares due to our bearish stance on spot iron ore pricing (incremental supply outpacing incremental demand by 3x), as well as concerns that Cliffs' ASPs will head lower next year regardless due to a portion of contracts resetting to the seaborne index. In terms of Canada, we give the company the benefit of the doubt in our model, but the jury is still out on whether CLF can shed the asset without recourse. Cost targets are not an easy feat based on historical figures and we don't think it makes sense for the board to approve a dividend given the high debt loads…In our view, there is too much uncertainty in both the macro backdrop and Cliffs' strategy to change our rating, though we would have an open mind if China accelerates or mgmt executes.
Dubinsky maintained his underperform rating on Cliffs despite–or because of–yesterday's 22% gain. Shares of Cliffs Natural Resources have dropped 1.2% to $11.15 at 9:59 a.m. today, while BHP Billiton (BHP) has risen 0.5% to $59.92 and Rio Tinto (RIO) has dipped 0.1% to $49.22.
With the Federal Reserve on tap today, stocks look set for a quiet open.
S&P 500 futures have dipped 0.1%, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures have ticked up 0.1%. Nasdaq Composite futures have. dropped 0.3%
United States Steel (X) has jumped 8.8% to $41.50 after beating earnings and revenue forecasts, while AK Steel (AKS) has climbed 6.5% to $7.83 after it was added to the Short-Term Buy List at Deutsche Bank.
Orbital Sciences (ORB) have plunged 14% to $26.01 after one of its rockets carrying goods for the International Space Station exploded on takeoff.
Hershey (HSY) has dropped 3.7% to $92 after the chocolatier missed earnings forecasts and lowered guidance. Hershey blamed higher milk prices and a stronger dollar for the miss.
Ballard Power Systems (BLDP) has slid 6.4% t $2.80 after the fuel-cell maker reporting a smaller-than-forecast increase in revenue.
The Fed will release the statement from its October policy meeting tomorrow, a fact that investors almost completely ignored today as stocks hit their highest level since the beginning of the month.
The S&P 500 rose 1.2% to 1,985.05 today, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 187.81 points, or 1.1% to 17,005.75, its highest close since October 3. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.7% to 4,564.29 and the small-company Russell 2000 finished up 2.9% to 1,149.45.
The folks at Bespoke Investment Group note that the S&P 500 has done well on Fed days since the beginning of the Fed's Zero Interest Rate Policy, or ZIRP, but are curious to see how the market will perform tomorrow, especially if the Fed completes the taper, as expected. They explain:
[The] S&P 500 has averaged a strong gain of 0.46% on Fed Days since ZIRP, which is 11 basis points more than the average performance of the S&P 500 on all days going back to 1995. Over both time periods, the S&P has done very well on Fed Days compared to the average of around 0.03% seen for all trading days throughout history…
It is noteworthy…that the S&P has been up on each of the last four Fed Days, and on five of the seven Fed Days we've had during the "taper." With the taper now off the table, let's see how the markets react.
Wells Capital Managements' Jim Paulsen worries that investors might be too complacent–and no he's not using the VIX to measure it, instead using a five-year measure of stock returns to measure their market consistency. He explains:
Perhaps for the first time in this recovery, "investor complacency" has become a problem. Until the last couple years, the primary legacy of the Great 2008 Recession was an economic recovery and stock market dominated by fears. With investors hoarding cash and high-quality bonds while waiting for another imminent Armageddon, complacency was never a problem. During the last couple years, however, the S&P 500 Index has risen in a very persistent and methodical manner to a significant new all-time high above 2,000. While this market action has not produced wild optimism among investors, it has arguably resulted in the greatest sense of calm and hope about the future than at any other time in this recovery.
In the last five years, up months have outpaced down months by about 2.5 to 3 times. Since 1870, there have only been three other periods (i.e., in the late 1920s, in the late 1950s, and in the late 1990s) when the stock market has proved more consistent. Consistency breeds complacency. Since the S&P 500 first broke to new all-time highs in early 2013, who isn't getting use to record stock market closes? …
With the Dow Industrials just 1.6% away from its all-time high, don't be surprised if we see one again.

President Obama's new "religious tolerance" consultant to the Pentagon, Mikey Weinstein, wants Christian military service members who openly talk about their faith in uniform to be charged with treason, which is a crime punishable by death according to military law.
Get this: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to ban the sale of cigarettes - now legal to people at age 18 - to people younger than 21.
Even back in 1980 when George "The Possum" Jones received a Grammy Award, I regarded him as an old fogey who should step aside for the younger set, such as, well, um, Kenny Rogers.
President Obama receives reports that 20 children and 6 adults have been murdered at the Sandy Hook Elementary School and decides the country needs national standards for gun accessories to protect our children. Limit ammunition capacities for rifle magazines. Outlaw triggers and stocks on rifles that look like pistols. Push for legislation requiring all law-abiding citizens to go through background checks and have the information stored for future reference.
F. Scott Fitzgerald famously uttered, "There are no second acts in American lives," but bless his heart, the besotted scribe seems blissfully unaware of the loophole large enough to taxi a C-130 through that exists for American politicians.

There are times when the words "never" and "always" are the only ones that work. In my case, "never" is becoming the word I must use to describe how I feel about certain candidates for high office. For example, I voted four times for a Bush and once for a McCain - something I will never do again.

When James French became the last person to be executed in 1966 under Oklahoma's death penalty law, he uttered these famous last words (no joke) that quickly belong to the ages: "Hey fellas," he shouted to reporters there to witness his electrocution. "How about this for a headline for tomorrow's paper? 'French Fries!'"
Proms sure have gotten expensive these days.
Riveted to our screens, we learned last week of the enormous value of social media and surveillance video when tragedy strikes. But -- and this second point is as significant as the first -- we were also reminded of the importance of established, well-funded, conventional media, without which the big picture would have had gaping holes.
What if you had to choose between making insurance more affordable for Americans with pre-existing conditions or funding lobbyists and political hacks?

According to Forbes magazine, at least 5,000 Americans contacted healthcare providers fearful they had contracted Ebola after the media reported that someone with Ebola had entered the United States. All 5,000 cases turned out to be false alarms. In fact, despite all the hype about Ebola generated by the media and government officials, as of this writing there has only been one preliminarily identified case of someone contracting Ebola within the United States.

There was joke that made the rounds when Bill Clinton was trying to figure out how to allow gays in the military without upsetting morale. "Gays in the military," the joke went. "Next thing you know they'll want to be interior decorators!" Of course, gays have always served in our military. Now, after long last, they can serve openly, and as it turns out it is no big whoop.
After 13 years of war in Afghanistan - the longest in US history - the US government has achieved no victory. Afghanistan is in chaos and would collapse completely without regular infusions of US money. The war has been a failure, but Washington will not admit it.

The Local Spin: Music is where it's atMay 01,2013By Ali Flewelling
Arts Correspondent
I remember discovering the power of music at the time I was a young child. Singing has been a passion of mine since I first got the courage to perform a solo on "Take the A Train" at my middle school chorus concert. I had always been in chorus but I didn't really think much of my voice until that moment. I was nervous, a feeling I still get to this day. But, no matter how nervous I get or how small or big the crowd, I have always had support. Support from my family, my music teachers, my friends and all of you who read my column.
Music is a very powerful thing and if you let it, it can take you places you never thought possible.
I know my passion is something I share with all of you and with my fellow local musicians. So, not to delay any further, I will tell you where you can find them this week.
Tonight, John Popper of the well-known group, Blues Traveler, will take the stage of the Paramount Theatre in downtown Rutland. I have to commend our own Jim Sabataso for getting a great interview with him and giving us a nice sneak preview of what this evening's show will bring. Along with performing some of our favorite Blues
Traveler tunes, Popper will be tearing it up on harmonica and sharing some of his stories about life on the road.
Popper has recently become very involved in the local music scene, playing shows in Vermont and making guest appearances with local bands. Tonight you can check it out for yourself right here in Rutland starting at 8 p.m.
Tickets are on sale from $24.50 to $29.50 and can be purchased at www.paramountvt.org.
On Friday, the Tinmouth Old Firehouse Concert Series continues. Vermont vocalist Jenni Johnson will be in town to perform jazz, blues and funk. The venue has seating for 80 people and tickets are $10 at the door. A portion of the proceeds goes toward maintaining the building. Contact Jo Reynolds at 802-446-3457 for additional information.
Also on Friday, Ladies Night Out Women's Chorus will be at the Brandon Town Hall on Conant Square in Brandon for a 7:30 p.m. show. The group of 20 singers presents "Songs for Children of All Ages." The chorus, which was founded in 1987, is directed by Lucy Allen Tenenbaum and will be accompanied by Jacob McLaughlin on piano and
Glendon Ingalls on bass and trumpet. The group will also perform at the Pittsfield Federated Church on Route 100 in Pittsfield for a 3 p.m. Saturday performance. Shows are open to the public and a free will offering will take place at both. I urge everyone to check out one of these performances, and there will be additional shows next week as well!
On Saturday, local rocker Duane Carleton will be at the Foundry at Summit Pond for a 4 p.m. happy hour. This Killington Road venue just isn't ready to let go of winter, and as long as they continue to provide us with good live music, we don't mind one bit!
Duane will also be at his usual Sunday spot, JAX on Killington Road for a 9:30 p.m. locals' night performance.
On Sunday, Immaculate Heart of Mary on Lincoln Avenue in Rutland hosts "An Evening of Sacred Chant Music" at 7 p.m. Various Rutland area choruses and soloists will be on site and a freewill offering will be collected.
On a final note, I just wanted to let everyone know of some new album releases. Divine Art Records, located on Country Club Road in Brandon, has recently produced albums for New England native Elliott Schwartz and Swiss composer Thomas Fortmann. The label specializes in modern music and rediscovered masterpieces. For additional information, or to sample one of these albums, contact Steven Sutton at email@example.com.

text: Treasure Hunter: Sara Wardrip May 29, 2014 "Auctions in Paris get my blood going," Sara Wardrip reveals of a favorite source for scoring the finds that fill her Encinitas shop, C'est la Vie Antiques. On her frequent buying trips to Europe, Wardrip searches out pieces like the 18th-century French armoires, French and Italian crystal chandeliers, and commanding architectural elements that mingle together in her expansive 6,000-square-foot warehouse. Outdoor space allows her to incorporate vintage faux bois furniture, antique stone garden pieces and pots from Anduze and Biot. What started as a penchant for English, Welsh and Irish pieces, Wardrip's taste has evolved since she opened her shop in 1999. She now hunts for French, Italian and Swedish furnishings and likes to "mix lighter painted items with the darker wood pieces, especially Swedish Gustavian with French Empire." After over a decade in the business, Wardrip isn't ready to stop. "The excitement of finding these things keeps me going," she says. "And, of course, unloading the container filled with all of the beautiful antiques." LX: What's inspiring you now? SW: Paris. I get some of my greatest inspirations from my dealer friends in the flea markets. They are masters at setting up exquisite vignettes of different textures and pieces. LX: Design period you find most engaging: SW: I love 18th-century Gustavian. It mixes so well with other periods and styles, especially here in California. LX: Tools of the trade: SW: A good shipper, trusted dealers and a husband who speaks several languages. LX: Design icons: SW: Axel Vervoordt, Albert Hadley and David Easton. They are not only able to richly layer a project, but use old and new textiles together. LX: Favorite hotel: SW: The Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat. It's in the perfect setting, and its recent renovation is very chic and modern. LX: Words of wisdom: SW: Buy what appeals to you. You may end up with the pieces in your own home, so you had better like them. cestlavieantiques.com; 760.944.5244 Tweet COMMENTS (0) Thanks! Your comment has been submitted for approval.

Amber Tamblyn Punks Tyrese
Actress Amber Tamblyn has released a series of emails between herself and actor/singer Tyrese in which he confused her for Amber Rose, Kanye West's ex-girlfriend and Wiz Khalifa's fiancée. A mutual friend emailed the two stars and Tamblyn, whose middle name is Rose, soon found herself creating raps on her iPhone after Tyrese suggested they work together.
Tamblyn quickly realized this was a case of mistaken identity and decided to pull a little joke on Tyrese. Read the entire exchange and hear the tracks at Street Carnage.
How did it all turn out? The real Amber Rose thought it was pretty funny, Tyrese was "not cool" with Tamblyn taking it public, Tamblyn blogged that she is 86% sorry, and Street Carnage reports that Shai LaBeouf wants to create animated shorts of each rap.

Mehta, K.M., A.L. Stewart, Kenneth M. Langa, K. Yaffe, S. Moody-Ayers, B.A. Williams, and K.E. Covinsky. 2009. ""Below average" self-assessed school performance and Alzheimer's disease in the Aging, Demographics, and Memory Study." Alzheimers & Dementia, 5(5): 380-387.
Background: A low level of formal education is becoming accepted as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although increasing attention has been paid to differences in educational quality, no previous studies addressed participants' own characterizations of their overall performance in school. We examined whether self-assessed school performance is associated with AD beyond the effects of educational level alone. Methods: Participants were drawn from the population-representative Aging, Demographics, and Memory Study (ADAMS, 2000-2002). The ADAMS participants were asked about their performance in school. Possible response options included "above average," "average," or "below average." The ADAMS participants also underwent a full neuropsychological battery, and received a research diagnosis of possible or probable AD. Results: The 725 participants (mean age, 81.8 years, 59% female; 16% African-American) varied in self-assessed educational performance: 29% reported "above average," 64% reported "average," and 7% reported "below average" school performance. Participants with a lower self-assessed school performance had higher proportions of AD: 11% of participants with "above average" self-assessed performance had AD, as opposed to 12% of participants with "average" performance and 26% of participants with "below average" performance (P < 0.001). After controlling for subjects' years in school, a literacy test score (Wide-Range Achievement Test), age, sex, race/ethnicity, apolipoprotein E-epsilon 4 status, socioeconomic status, and self-reported comorbidities, respondents with "below average" self-assessed school performance were four times more likely to have AD compared with those of "average" performance (odds ratio, 4.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-14). "Above average" and "average" self-assessed school performance did not increase or decrease the odds of having AD (odds ratio, 0.9; 95% confidence interval, 0.5-1.7). Conclusions: We suggest an association between "below average" self-assessed school performance and AD beyond the known association with formal education. Efforts to increase cognitive reserve through better school performance, in addition to increasing the number of years of formal education in early life, may be important in reducing vulnerability throughout the life course.

OBJECTIVE: Antidepressants have been associated with the induction of
mania and rapid cycling. This study examined whether antidepressant-
associated manic states differ in any way from spontaneous mania. METHOD:
Forty-nine consecutive inpatients with antidepressant- associated manic
states were compared with 49 matched inpatients with spontaneous mania in a
blind, retrospective chart review. RESULTS: Across virtually every clinical
measure examined, the patients with antidepressant-associated manic states
experienced milder and more time- limited manic episodes than the patients
with spontaneous mania. The patients with antidepressant-associated manic
states were subject to frequent checking by nurses and hall restriction for
a significantly shorter period of time than the patients with spontaneous
mania. The patients with antidepressant-associated manic states also had
significantly less severe levels of delusions, hallucinations, psychomotor
agitation, and bizarre behavior, according to a standard rating instrument,
than the patients with spontaneous mania. For further study the patients
with antidepressant-associated mania were divided into subgroups taking
four individual classes of antidepressant drugs: tricyclics (N = 19),
fluoxetine (N = 13), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) (N = 8), and
bupropion (N = 6); three patients taking combinations of drugs were not
included in these analyses. The patients with MAOI- and
bupropion-associated mania had a slightly lower overall rating of severity
of psychopathology at admission than the subgroups with fluoxetine- and
tricyclic-associated mania. CONCLUSIONS: Antidepressant-associated mania
appears to be a milder and more time- limited syndrome than spontaneous
mania and may represent a distinct clinical entity. MAOIs and bupropion may
be associated with milder manic states than either tricyclic drugs or

Bail Out: Williamsburg Style
Filed under: Area 51, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg
This morning I woke up curiously early. I usually avoid doing so like the plague because the Mister has this annoying habit of firing up NPR online in our living room and via conventional radio in the kitchen. Any of you who have done this probably know there is a delay with online audio; this phenomenon turns the confines of the 450 (if that square feet) palace we call home into one big echo chamber of current events.
As I got my first cup of morning coffee I learned about David Foster Wallace committing suicide.
Did you hear that Merrill Lynch is going to be bought by Bank of America? I have: once in the kitchen and again in the living room!
In other news the Feds have refused to bail out Lehman Brothers. I got the why and wherefore before and after going to the bathroom.
I don't know about any of you but this whole government bail-out of corporate interests really pisses me off. A good friend of mine once described it this way:
It's sort of like playing poker with your dad. You lose all your money but instead of keeping it he gives it back to you.
This is hardly the way to teach someone fiscal responsibility. What's more, if I "Jane Q. Citizen" racked up a bunch of bad debt do you think I would get such royal treatment? I think not. The fact of the matter is there is no easy, quick way for a non-corporate entity to extract him (or her)self from the red.
Or is there?
This interesting business proposition was found by Greenpoint's very own mihow last weekend at McCarren Park. I can't honestly say I find this solution very palatable (while effective, it is a little too permanent for my taste), but to each their own.

Not Cool
Filed under: 11211, Williamsburg
Despite the stifling humidity I took a nice long walk this afternoon. Upon crossing the BQE at 3:00 p.m. I noticed a group of men conferring with some police officers at Father Giorgio Triangle.
Once I crossed the street I learned why.
It would appear that someone has stolen the bronze plaque from this monument. He (or she) sold it for scrap. This is the second instance of metal theft I have heard of in as many months (1000 Manhattan Avenue was broken into and stripped of all its copper pipe recently as well). This is ridiculous.
Miss Heather
P.S.: Down the street I discovered that someone stole the potted plant in front of the Brooklyn Kitchen.
What the hell is wrong with people? If it isn't yours don't take it. Why is this concept so difficult for some of our fellow citizens to comprehend?

So you live in north Brooklyn and are a veritable commuting Casanova. What's more, you are really proud of your conquests. What do you do?
- Keep a diary of your sexual prowess.
- Call your friends and tell them every salacious detail.
- Document your activities on a subway map at the Lorimer Street stop of the L for all to enjoy.
If you picked item #3 CONGRATULATIONS! You are worthy of calling yourself a true Williamsburger!
Hmm, what do we have here? A three-way in Crown Heights. Kinky!
A friend of mine recently told me about growing up in Midwood. He said it was boring. Obviously he didn't know the right people.
You know when I see shit like this I realize how very, painfully, EXCRUCIATINGLY dull my life really is. Damn.

Two Things That Don't Go Very Well Together
Filed under: Bushwick, Urban Artifact, Williamsburg
On September 11, 2008 Mark India commented (in regards to this post):
…And really, this is New York. Are you telling me you've ALWAYS obeyed EVERY traffic sign?*
Well as a motorist I have. Here's why: I have never driven an automobile in this city nor do I ever intend to. As a matter of fact if it has wheels chances are you will not be seeing me operating it anytime soon. Two things I have had to cope with in my life are limitations and anger management. When it comes to operating a vehicle I have learned that the former informs the latter. I am not a terribly patient person— and driving in New York City requires a lion's share of this gift. One I simply do not possess. Therefore I have found it to be in my (and probably the PUBLIC'S) best interest to leave my mobility to my own two feet, the MTA or (if I'm feeling lucky) a cabbie.
Sure, I still find myself muttering "Who the fuck taught this clown how to drive?". OFTEN. But I am not manning two tons of steel when I do so. The way I see it I can either:
- Reform each and every idiotic operator of a moving vehicle personally or
- Remove myself from interfacing with said motorists.
Realizing point #2, dear readers, was A BIG MILESTONE regarding anger management for me. I leave my transportation needs to the professionals. What's more walking has opened up a whole new world for me. I see things I would never have noticed if I was speeding around in a car. FUN THINGS. Like this.
I found this card on Graham Avenue near Scholes Street. Terrified —yet amused— I picked it up. Here's what I found on the back.
The next time I find myself asking how some clown learned how to drive I will have the answer: El Payasito! I wonder if he drives a SUV like this?
In all seriousness folks, clowns and auto school advertising do not mix.
Miss Heather
*I'm just busting your chops, Mark. No ill will intended— and I hope none was taken. We're all hypocrites anyway— I just happen to be one who is tired of dodging bikes and landing on the hood of cars**. Imagine how many more good motorists New York City would have if they simply turned in their keys and rode the bus!
**I have only done this once (and for the record I had the right of way). Trust me, one time is enough.

I had Lumbar surgery by Dr Todd 6months ago. I havent felt this great in years. I wanted to send a note stating what a caring surgeon he is.

Was recommended to Dr Todd by several fiends who had recently seen him. he told me I had 2 severely degenerated discs and a slipped vertebrae and that surgery was my only real option but therapy had to be tried for insurance reasons. after therapy i did not see Dr. Todd again. all visits were with his PA.after an EMG his PA told me I wasn't a surgical candidate and that Dr. Todd had not noted talking to me about surgery. I asked to see the notes myself but he refused and Dr. Todd refused to talk with me. I have since gotten a second opinion and had surgery and haven't felt this good in years. In addition to this all of my friends that have had surgery by him are now worse off than they were before and have all started seeing other doctors. The only good thing about him was that I never waited more than 10 minutes to be seen. But I'll take a longer wait any day to see a better doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Todd for about 8 yrs. now and he never fails to explain everything to me before I leave and no matter how down I am I always leave with a smile. I have always had very good results after his surgeries and no infections due to him just to the hospital(NASH). I would gladly put my life in his hands anyday without a thought about it! Thank You Jerry Sue Soper

Dr. Todd and his staff are very caring people who give the patients physical health and and peace of mind as a top priority. I have had two spinal fusions by him and both were successful. I was able to return to my regular job both times. I have recommended him to others and they have become satisfied and healed patients. Keep up the good work. Tom Hale

He generally appears arrogant. Frequently I saw his PA when I went for appts.. Information he gave regarding what to expect post-operative was minimal to non-existant. On the positive side I had surgery more than a year ago and have been relatively pain free since, although my surgery was extensive. Pain management in the month or so following surgery was excellent.

Excellent bedside manner. Immediately prior to a major surgery he took the time to comfort my wife. His surgery relieved immense pain. It's been 7 months and I'm virtually pain free.

My biggest complaint is when ever you go you see his Physican assistant and not the Dr. very rarely has the Dr. seen me on my appointments.

A Croatian judge remanded Zagreb's mayor Milan Bandic and 11 others in custody for a month after they were arrested for alleged involvement in corrupt dealings in the city administration.
Milan Bandic is facing an interrogation at the hands of Croatia's Office for Suppression of Corruption and Organized Crime, USKOK, concering a number of corruption allegations.
Croatian police have been searching homes and offices after Zagreb mayor Milan Bandic was detained in a major operation over alleged corruption and abuse of office, alongside 18 other suspects.
The trial of Zdravko Mustac and Josip Perkovic, former Yugoslav intelligence chiefs accused of killing a Croat émigré, heard claims that a key prosecution witness was an assassin and a German spy.
Mayor Milan Bandic, who has run the Croatian capital for over a decade, was arrested for alleged corruption, abuse of office and influence peddling.
The first hearing for Zdravko Mustac and Josip Perkovic, two former Yugoslav Intelligence officers accused of killing a Croat emigre, started on Friday in Munich.
New office for fighting tax evasion is starting its probe into companies and persons suspected of having avoided payment of their taxes in Croatia.
Senior Yugoslav intelligence service ex-officials Zvonko Mustac and Josip Perkovic are being tried in Munich for involvement in plotting the murder of a Croatian émigré in 1983.
A growing number of Croatian hospitals are refusing to perform abortions, even though they are legal, because doctors refuse to conduct them for reasons of conscience.
The State Attorneys Office, DORH, is investigating the Environment Minister, Mihael Zmajlovic, over his decision to move his office to an expensive privately owned skyscraper.
US officials offered to help resolve the row between Zagreb and the Hungarian energy company MOL, fearing that Russia could gain a foothold in the Croatian energy system.
Presidential adviser's attack on 1991 independence referendum - which led to him being sacked - continues to reverberate in Croatia.
A coalition of trade unions and campaigning groups has launched a petition opposing plans to sell off concessions to run Croatia's highways.
Croatia must do more to protect the rights of disabled people who are still being removed from society and put into institutions, Human Rights Watch said in a new report.
Survivors joined a memorial ceremony for victims of the concentration camp in Sisak where Serb, Jewish and Roma children were imprisoned by the Nazis and Croatia's wartime Ustasa regime.
While other EU countries race to meet EU renewable energy standards, Croatia is slowing its development with unrealistic quotas and bureaucratic obstacles.
Growth in Southeast Europe is likely to worse in 2014 than was anticipated, a new IMF report says.

This Australian documentary, that has won praise from professionals in the field, highlights how real estate distorts the rest of the economy.

How economies work – and don't
more transformation than reform; it's a step ahead. Harvard economics students this year did petition to change the curriculum, in the wake of the English who caught the dissension from across The Channel. French reformers, who fault conventional economics for conjuring mathematical models of little empirical relevance and being closed to critical and reflective thought, reject this "autism" – or detachment from reality – and dub their offering "post-autistic economics". Not a bad name, but again, academics define themselves by what they're not, not by what they are, unlike geonomists. We track rent – the money we spend on the nature we use – and watch it pull all the other economic indicators in its wake. We see economies as part of the ecosystem, similarly following natural patterns and able to self-regulate more so than allowed, once we quit distorting prices. To align people and planet, we'd replace taxes and subsidies with recovering and sharing rents.
not exactly Georgism, the Single Tax on land value proposed by Henry George. He did, tho', inspire most of the real-world implementations of the land tax that some jurisdictions enjoy today, and modern thinkers to craft geonomics. While his name and our remedy both begin with "geo" since both words refer to "Earth", the two have their differences. (a) George pegs land monopoly as the fundamental flaw while geonomics faults Rent retention. (b) To fix the flaw, George was content to use a tax, while geonomics jettisons them in favor of price-like fees. (c) George focused on the taking while geonomics headlines the sharing. George envisioned an enlightened state judiciously spending the collected Rent while geonomics would turn the lion's share over to the citizens via a dividend. (d) And George, as was everyone in his era, was pro-growth while geonomics sees economies as alive, growing, maturing, and stabilizing. Despite these differences, George should be recognized as great an economist as Euclid was a geometrician.
a scientific look at how we divvy up the work and the wealth, how some of us end up with too much or too little effort or reward. That's partly due to Ricardo's Law of Rent, showing how wasteful use of Earth cuts wages. And it's partly due to how a society's elite runs government around like water boys, dishing out subsidies and tax breaks. While geonomists look political reality right in the eye, without blinking, conventional economists flinch. When Paul Volcker, ex-chief of the Federal Reserve, moved on to a cushy professorship at Princeton cum book contract, the crush of deadlines bore down. So Volcker asked a junior associate to help with the book. The guy refused, explaining that giving serious consideration to policy would ruin his academic career. The ex-Fed chief couldn't believe it and asked the department chair if truly that were the case. That head honcho pondered the question then replied no, not if he only does it once. And economics was AKA political economy!
a new policy from a new perspective. Once your worldview shifts — so that vacant city lots are no longer invisible — then epiphany. "Of course! Why didn't I see it before?" Once you do see the emptiness and what damage it does, how can you ever go back to the old paradigm?
a POV that Spain's president might try. A few blocks from my room in Madrid at a book fair to promote literacy, Sr Zapatero, while giving autographs and high fives to kids, said books are very expensive and he'd see about getting the value added tax on them cut down to zero. (El Pais, June 4; see, politicians can grasp geo-logic.) But why do we raise the cost of any useful product? Why not tax useless products? Even more basic: is being better than a costly tax good enough? Our favorite replacement for any tax is no tax: instead, run government like a business and charge full market value for the permits it issues, such as everything from corporate charters to emission allowances to resource leases. These pieces of paper are immensely valuable, yet now our steward, the state, gives them away for nearly free, absolutely free in some cases. Government is sitting on its own assets and needs merely to cash in by doing what any rational entity in the economy does – negotiate the best deal. Then with this profit, rather than fund more waste, pay the stakeholders, we citizenry, a dividend. Thereby geonomics gets rid of two huge problems. It replaces taxes with full-value fees and replaces subsidies for special interests with a Citizens Dividend for people in general. Neither left nor right, this reform is what both nature lovers and liberty lovers need to promote, right now.
close to the policy of the Garden Cities in England. Founded by Ebenezer Howard over a century ago, residents own the land in common and run the town as a business. Letchworth, the oldest of the model towns, serves residents grandly from bucketfuls of collected land rent (as does the Canadian Province of Alberta from oil royalty). A geonomic town would pay the rent to residents, letting them freely choose personalized services, and also ax taxes. Both geonomics and Howard were inspired by American proto-geonomist Henry George. The movement launched by Howard today in the UK advances the shift of taxes from buildings to locations. A recent report from the Town and Country Planning Association proposes this Property Tax Shift and their journal published research in the potential of land value taxation by Tony Vickers (Vol. 69, Part 5, 2000). (Thanks to James Robertson)
an alternative to conventional land trusts. Just as it seems some functions should not be left to the market – private courts and cops invite corruption (while private mediation is fine) – just so some land should not be left in the market. That said, sacred sites do not make much of a model for treating the vast acreage of land that we need to use. So the usual trust model, which is anti-use and counter-market, can not apply where it's needed most. Trust proponents worry about ownership and control – two very human ambitions – but they're not central. Supposedly, we the people own millions acres – acres that private corporations treat as private fiefdoms – and conversely, the Nature Conservancy owns wilderness the public can some places use as parks. So, the issue is not who owns but who gets the rent – ideally, all of us.
a way to connect the dots. Making the cyber rounds is "The Cavernous Divide" by Scott Klinger, from AlterNet (posted March 21): "As the number of billionaires in the world expands, so does the number of those in poverty." Duh. The yawning income gap is not news. Nearly every issue of our quarterly digest carries a similar quote. Yet the connection was worked out long ago by one of America's greatest thinkers, Henry George, who labeled his masterpiece, Progress and Poverty. Techno- and socio-advances always enrich few and impoverish many. Yet progress also pushes up location values – the geonomic insight (is Silicon Valley cheaper now or more expensive?). Instead of taxing income, sales, or buildings, society could collect those values of sites, resources, EM spectrum, and ecosystem services via fees and dues, which would lower the income ceiling, and instead of lavishing corporate welfare, pay out the recovered revenue via dividends, which would jack up the income floor. Dots connected.
an answer for Jonathan of the Green Party (Nov 7): "What does 'share our surplus' mean?" Our surplus is the values that society generates synergistically. It's the money we spend on the nature we use: on land sites, natural resources, EM spectrum, ecosystem services (assimilating pollutants). It's also the money we pay to holders of government-granted privileges like corporate charters. We could share it by paying for the nature we use and privileges we hold to the public treasury then getting back a fair share of the recovered revenue. Used to be, owners did owe rent ("own" and "owe" used to be one word). And presently, some lucky residents do get back periodic dividends: Alaska's oil dividend and Aspen Colorado's housing assistance. Doing that, instead of subsidizing bads while taxing goods, is the essence of geonomics. Jonathan: "Is local currency what you mean?" Editor: It's not. Community currency is a good reform, but every good reform pushes up site values. That makes land an even more tempting object of speculation. Now, any good will eventually do bad by widening the income gap – until you share land values.
one of many words I coined over 20 years ago: geoism, geonomics, geonomy, geocracy, etc – neologisms that later others came up with, too. CNBC once had a Geonomics Show, and Middlebury College has a Geonomics Institute. If "economy" is literally "management of the household", then geonomy is "management of the planet". The kind of management I had in mind is not what CNBC was thinking – top-down. My geonomics is not hands-on, interfering, but hands-off, organic. It'd strive to align policy with natural processes, similar to what holistic healing does in medicine, what organic farming does in agriculture. Geonomics attends to two key components: One, the crucial stuff to track is fat – or profit, especially profits without production, such as rent, or all the money we spend on the nature we use. Society's surplus is the sine qua non for growth, needed to counter death – not merely more, but sustainable development, more from less. Two, the basic process to respect is the feedback loop. These let nature maintain balance automatically and could do the same for markets, if we let them. Letting them would turn our economies, now our masters, into a geonomy, our servant, providing us with prosperity, eco-librium (to coin a term) and leisure, time off – a hostile environment for economan but a cradle for a loving and creative humanity.

When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave... escaping seconds before Nick's frightening vision becomes a terrible reality. Thinking they've cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning.

The film marks the latest in the highly popular "Final Destination" series, and its first 3D installment, giving horror fans an especially visceral thrill ride.

- Petitioned Security Company CEOs
This petition was delivered to:
Keep America Safe With Stronger Standards for Security Officers
Sponsored by
Service Employees International Union (SEIU)
Multiply Your Impact
Turn your signature into dozens more by sharing this petition and recruiting people you know to sign.
There are over one million private security officers in America today—more than double the number of police officers. These private security officers are often the first responders to life-threatening emergency situations and they are a critical partner in keeping the public safe nationwide.
But as we mark nine years since the attacks of 9/11 we still face an urgent public safety vulnerability: Poor training and professional standards for front-line security officers.
Despite being the first to respond to national security breaches, most of America's security officers are provided with minimal training—sometimes none at all. Half of all US States put the public at risk by lacking any training requirement for security officers. By contrast, all 50 states require about 1,500 hours of training to become a licensed cosmetologist.
Poor working conditions for security officers have also created a turnover rate higher than in the fast food industry—historically as high as 300%. This poses a serious risk to public safety. The average pay for most security officers is less than $23,000 a year, and many work two or three jobs just to make ends meet. Although many officers want to turn their jobs into good careers, the result of these practices is a constant "revolving door" of inexperienced security officers struggling to meet the demands of their job.
Only a few huge private security corporations dominate this multi-billion dollar industry plagued by high turnover, poor training, and lax oversight. We can't leave America's safety in their hands without quality standards for the hundreds of thousands of security officers in our communities.
In the interest of public safety and national security, it's time we raise industry standards. Please take a moment to contact the CEOs of the ten largest private security companies and urge that they support higher professional standards and a fair wage for security officers—America's first responders to life-threatening emergency situations.
Security Company CEOs
Yet, in most of the security industry, a lack of adequate training combined with low pay and benefits has led to turnover that rivals rates in the fast food industry.

Yet, in most of the security industry, a lack of adequate training combined with low pay and benefits has led to turnover that rivals rates in the fast food industry.
That's why I am joining the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) in asking that you make changes that will bring more professionalism and respect to private security.
Specifically, I join SEIU in asking that your company support the following for all security officers:
-- Comprehensive training programs;
-- A guaranteed living wage and wage increases, paid sick leave and paid vacation;
-- Affordable healthcare for security officers and their families;
-- Secure retirement benefits including 401K and pension plans.
In the interest of public safety and national security, it's time we raise standards and put stronger rules in place for security officers and the companies that train and employ them.
I urge you to champion these basic, common-sense standards at your company and set an example for the private security industry.

Dutch filmmaker admits faking viral 'human bird wing' video | Fox News
