We Are Living In A State Of Keynesian "Bliss"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/21/2014 21:22 -0400
Back in 1930, Keynes looked out into the future and saw that with the proper management of the economy, monetary policy and the like, the world could attain a type of utopian stasis: Keynes expected growth to come to an end within two to three generations, and the economy to plateau. He referred to this imaginary state of equilibrium as "bliss," noting "thus for the first time since his creation man will be faced with his real, his permanent problem - how to use his freedom from pressing economic cares, how to occupy the leisure, which science and compound interest will have won for him, to live wisely and agreeably and well." However, Keynes did say this would happen if mankind avoided any calamitous wars and if there was no appreciable increase in population. Two more flawed base assumptions there could not have been.

Paul Krugman: "We'll Only Feel Prosperous During Bubble Periods"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/10/2014 20:30 -0400
While hardly able to match the wit, sophistry or, allegedly, satire of yesterday's MarketWatch grandslam in market insight "Why This Stock Market Will Never Go Down", we are confident readers will enjoy the following interview from none other than the Nobel prize winner in Keynesianomics, Paul Krugman, who in this interview with Princeton Magazine, had some comments on bubbles, inflation, student loans, minimum wages, artificially low rates, the Fed's dual mandate, and, of all things, Bitcoin.

The Lesser Depression: How Bubble Finance Has Deformed The Jobs CycleSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2014 22:21 -0400
The term "jobless recovery" is itself an oxymoron since the main function of any economic advance is to broaden participation. Thus a "jobless recovery" is nothing of the sort, indicating more so the re-arranging of numbers rather than full achievement – the hallmarks of redistribution.
As financialism spreads, so does disharmony, not just in function but in breaking correlations among economic accounts and statistics that were once seemingly so unconquerable.

The Fed And Mr. Krugman: The Price Of NutsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/06/2014 20:02 -0400
Google "grocery prices last 12 months" and it's post after post beginning with "Consumer prices rise" or "Rising food prices bite." One person who is happy about this is the New York Times' Paul Krugman, for instead of being like Europe, that is "clearly in the grip of a deflationary vortex," America only teeters on the edge of a general price plunge. "And there but for the grace of Bernanke go we," writes the voice of Grey Lady economics wisdom. However, Mr. Krugman shouldn't declare defeat to the deflationists just yet. Bankers are learning to say 'yes' again, and that means velocity and price increases.

Employers Aren't Just Whining: The "Skills Gap" Is RealSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/29/2014 19:13 -0400
What is hard to measure is often hard to manage. Employers using new technologies need to base hiring decisions not just on education, but also on the non-cognitive skills that allow some people to excel at learning on the job; they need to design pay structures to retain workers who do learn, yet not to encumber employee mobility and knowledge sharing, which are often key to informal learning; and they need to design business models that enable workers to learn effectively on the job (see this example). Policy makers also need to think differently about skills, encouraging, for example, industry certification programs for new skills and partnerships between community colleges and local employers. Although it is difficult for workers and employers to develop these new skills, this difficulty creates opportunity. Those workers who acquire the latest skills earn good pay; those employers who hire the right workers and train them well can realize the competitive advantages that come with new technologies.

"Rather than trying to spur private-sector spending through asset purchases or interest-rate changes, central banks, such as the Fed, should hand consumers cash directly.... Central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken aggressive action, consistently lowering interest rates such that today they hover near zero. They have also pumped trillions of dollars' worth of new money into the financial system. Yet such policies have only fed a damaging cycle of booms and busts, warping incentives and distorting asset prices, and now economic growth is stagnating while inequality gets worse. It's well past time, then, for U.S. policymakers -- as well as their counterparts in other developed countries -- to consider a version of Friedman's helicopter drops. In the short term, such cash transfers could jump-start the economy... The transfers wouldn't cause damaging inflation, and few doubt that they would work. The only real question is why no government has tried them"...

Krugman's Keynesian Crackpottery: Wasteful Spending Is Better Than Nothing!Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/24/2014 11:04 -0400
Janet Yellen has essentially confirmed QE's demise; good riddance. Unfortunately, I don't think that is the final end of QE in America, just as it hasn't been the end time after time in Japan (and perhaps now Europe treading down the same ill-received road). The secular stagnation theory, that we think has been fully absorbed in certainly Yellen's FOMC, sees little gain from it because, as they assume, the lackluster economy is due to this mysterious decline in the "natural rate of interest." Therefore QE in the fourth iteration accomplishes far less toward that goal, especially with diminishing impacts on expectations in the real economy, other than create bubbles of activity ("reach for yield") that always end badly. What Krugman and Summers call for is a massive bubble of biblical proportions that "shocks" the economy out of this mysterious rut, to "push inflation substantially higher, and keep it there." In other words, Abenomics in America. Japanification is becoming universal, and the more these appeals to generic activity and waste continue, the tighter its "mysterious" grip.

Never Mind Their Distrust Of Data And Forecasts; Austrians Can Help You Predict The EconomySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/16/2014 10:57 -0400
"Of all the economic bubbles that have been pricked, few have burst more spectacularly than the reputation of economics itself." – From The Economist, July 16, 2009.
Mainstream economists continue to dominate their profession and wield huge influence on public policies. They merely needed to close ranks after the financial crisis and wait for people to forget that their key theories and models were wholly discredited. Meanwhile, heterodox economists who stress credit market risks and financial fragilities – the Austrians, the Minskyites – remain stuck on the fringes of the field. It doesn't much matter that the crisis validated their thinking. Nonetheless, we'll continue to explain why we think a shake-up is overdue..."Mythbusting" the theories of mainstream economists.

I had avoided Abrams Star Trek, deliberately, until I stumbled upon it on Channel 4 in the UK on Saturday night.
My worst fears were confirmed, it was crap and I did not enjoy the convoluted plot, the look, the CGI, and most importantly, the cast.

Needless to say, I wont be going to the new one either.

With all the talk about Edward Snowden, the notion of whistleblowers is back front and center in the public eye. (Put aside for the moment that Snowden is not likely a "whistleblower" in the legal sense.)
On a federal level, whistleblower claims are mostly covered by the False Claims Act. But at a state level, there are comparable state statutes that cover this.
Amidst all of this, though, the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities plays an important role in investigating and prosecuting whistleblower retaliation cases. Much of this is not recognized by the general public who typically view the CHRO has covering discrimination cases.
The CHRO has a whole section of the website devoted to whistleblowers and talks extensively about the protection afforded to them under Connecticut law.

This restaurant has really good food. I have eaten here several times and not been disappointed once. They have a good variety on the menu. My only complaint is the service is really slow.
This friendly restaurant served very good pasta. I had a salmon/pasta daily special and was very pleased. Good service and inexpensive, but good wines. They have some outdoor seating.
We liked this resaurant so much we went back the second night we were there!! HUGE portions though, so don't wear tight trousers/skirt!!
Very good Italian food, with a lovely hostess and nice servers. If the weather is nice, sit outside -- so pleasant!
Who woulda thought you coulda found good I-talian in Kernville? We did. Nice little unpretentious restaurant right on the Kernville plaza. Ate out on the front portico with friends and had an excellent meal with fine wine. Service as great from one waitress, spotty from another but really nothing to complain about. We recommend.

In the past few years, New York's Lower East Side has become one of the coolest parts of the city. As such, it's a suitable setting for one of the five funky NYC properties in the Thompson Hotels
chain. This 141-bedroom temple to design isn't the place for down-to-business conferencing, but organisers can instead take advantage of slick spaces like the Loft Penthouse suite to host cocktail
receptions or informal dinners against the backdrop of jaw-dropping New York skyline views. There's also a heated (and tented) terrace able to host events for up to 100 standing or 70 seated guests
year-round, while in summertime, the irresistible Pool Deck serves up a stonking sound system and space for 120 for cocktails. Larger events can take over the new Blue Ribbon restaurant, opening in
Spring 2012, with food by the acclaimed Eric and Bruce Bromberg, who already rattle the pans in LES's sister hotel, 6 Columbus.

Skoll Awardee(s): Jeroo Billimoria
Award Year: 2006
Issue Area(s) Addressed: Economic Opportunity, Education
(Click here to print)
Skoll Awardee(s): Jeroo Billimoria
"Acquainting children with the concept of saving and banking is a first structural step that empowers them to handle money responsibly and contribute to breaking the cycle of poverty. What microcredit has brought to adults, the concept of savings can bring to children."
Sub-Issues: Early Childhood to Primary Education; Financial Services
Half a billion children live in rural poverty. Most have some access to money, at least in small amounts, but they do not know how to manage and save it to achieve goals.
The Skoll Awardee: Aflatoun is a fun-loving and mischievous Bollywood movie character, and also the Arabic name Plato, the Greek philosopher who, among other things, described the ideal concept of citizenship. Jeroo Billimoria created a cartoon character called Aflatoun as a fireball from outer space who inspires children to explore and engage with the world around them by means of activities, stories and games, and teaches them about their rights, and about money. When she founded an international organization to engage children with Aflatoun and financial empowerment around the world, she had already built Child Helpline International, an organization that helps millions of street children each year, starting with just her own telephone number and her personal savings. She had developed the educational program and curriculum for teaching children to take responsibility for themselves, to plan for a better life, and to save through school-based Aflatoun Clubs, through an Indian organization called Meljol, demonstrating that these skills helped children to manage their impulses, work toward future goals, and succeed in school. She founded Aflatoun to apply the same international replication model she had developed at Child Helpline International to Meljol's child empowerment and financial education and savings program. Aflatoun was just a year old at the time of the Skoll Award, beginning the international growth phase with a goal of reaching a million children within five years. In 2012, Jeroo stepped down as executive director of Aflatoun to focus on another new venture: Child and Youth Finance International, a global advocacy organization working to promote "economic citizenship" among children and young people.
Impact since joining the portfolio in 2006:
- More than 2.3 million children receive social and financial education each year through more than 27,000 education centers in 109 countries.
- 40 percent of students enrolled in the program save small amounts of money each week, building savings that average €2.23 euros per child per year (€ 2.76 million total).
- Aflatoun students have launched 5,177 social enterprises and 11,449 financial enterprises.

Howard Lukk's Short Film 'Emma' Gets the High Dynamic Range Treatment with Help from DaVinci ResolveThere is something special about "Emma." Not only did the short film have its screening at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, but it was also one of the very first films shot and produced in a High Dynamic Range (HDR) workflow. HDR produces a greater dynamic range of luminosity and allows the cinematographer to capture and display a much wider contrast ratio. And while HDR requires filmmakers to pay more attention to the nuances of shooting, such as lighting, production and costume design and makeup, being able to take advantage of a greater range in color in post production creates truly stunning images more akin to what the human eye sees.

The three co own AIMA FILMS, an agency that forgoes traditional film shooting in favor of marketing through art. This emotional tug sets the young entrepreneurs apart. They each bring their own experiences into their work, be it a love of the horror genre or an aptitude for designing clothing, and they host weekly brainstorming sessions to work them all together into trial art projects.

I always like going to this Whataburger. The service is great, the place is clean, and I've never had a bad meal here.
We were driving through from NM to SC. We are familiar with whataburger and love the burgers. The drive thru gal was a bit snooty as all get out and rude! Not even a "thank you" when she gave us our food. Ugh!
We went to Whataburger for the first time. I had a grilled chicken salad and it was very fresh and delish. We were with a large group and everyone else enjoyed their food and any extras we needed, we were promptly given them! Will go back!
So much wished that Whataburger was in INDIANA. The burgers are simply the best that you can get at a fast food chain. This location is a must stop for us during our long drive home from Florida's beaches. We stop here for the AMAZING FRIENDLY SERVICE. Thank you.

My daughter and I at here last night and up until then all I heard was how good they were. But being the skeptic I was I figured it was between a McDonalds and a Steak n Shake . But after just two bites two because we knew it couldn't be that good that's why it took two bites. We... More
is something about a whataburger. really enjoy their basic burger and the onion rings are also tasty. service is better than what receives in the typical fast food joint. located just off the highway - highly recommend if this is the type of food you are looking for.
Convenient to interstate. Open 24 hours. Clean and neat. Friendly service. Just a very mediocre burger. Fries were good. Drink that came with combo was large. Good soda variety.
It's big and it's yummy! I suggest small drinks as the medium is more like a large! Always a great atmosphere, great burgers, delicious milkshakes! Their fries aren't to die for, but they'll do with the other deliciousness that is served.
It's Whataburger which is bad anyway. But this is worse bad service bad food served by horrible people. It's not worth getting out of the car for so don't waste your time!!!
Stopped here while traveling through the area. Great service, unexpectedly GREAT food and a good value. I wish they had Whataburger near my hometown!!!

Super League match preview: Widnes Vikings v Wakefield Wildcats
Last Updated: 26/04/13 7:50pm
Wakefield can usurp Widnes in the Super League table on Friday night with a victory at the Halton Stadium.
Both Widnes and Wakefield come into the game with their tails up following Tetley's Challenge Cup wins over Doncaster and Hemel Stags respectively.
The Vikings will be without youngster Alex Gerrard due to a torn posterior cruciate ligament injury.
However, Rhys Hanbury, Gareth Hock, Ben Cross, Cameron Phelps, Chris Dean and Eamon O'Carroll are all back in contention to face the Wildcats.
Long-term absentees Danny Craven and Stefan Marsh are nearing the end of their rehabilitation, while Dave Allen is closing in on a first-team return.
"We're still hopeful of trying to get the best possible side in the healthiest possible way on the field, as often as we can," Betts told the club's official website.
"We've put the Doncaster game behind us now and our focus is on Wakefield. Under Richard Agar, you can clearly see just how well organised, structured and well coached they are.
"We're trying to emulate what Wakefield did last year and it will definitely be a game that is competitive and contested by two sides that are keen to strengthen their position in the league."
Wakefield boss Richard Agar welcomes back a number of first-team regulars following last weekend's triumph over lower league opposition.
Captain Danny Kirmond, half-back Tim Smith and wing pairing Ben Cockayne and Peter Foxt return to face the Vikings after being rested last weekend.
Jon Molloy is named in a 19-man Super League squad for Wakefield for the first time but the second row is expected to miss out on the final 17.
Richie Mathers is the only first-team absentee as he sits out another week through injury. The full-back ruptured a testicle and also suffered a foot injury in Wakefield's defeat at Wigan Warriors earlier this month.
Widnes Vikings: Ah Van, K. Brown, Clarke, Cross, Dean, Gore, Hanbury, Hock, Isa, Joseph, Lawton, Leuluai, Mellor, O'Carroll, Owens, Phelps, Pickersgill, Winterstein, White.
Wakefield Wildcats: Fox, Collis, L. Smith, Cockayne, Sykes, T. Smith, Poore, Aiton, Raleigh, Lauitiiti, Kirmond, Washbrook, Wood, Amor, Wilkes, Mellars, Lyne, Annakin, Molloy.

I have used this product on several occasions now, and it has worked well on different metals in the automotive industry, including aluminum, copper, and zinc plated steel. The solder flows real nice after this flux has been applied. I wish the bottle had an intregrated brush inside the bottle, maybe attached to the cap.
As an automotive mechanic, I use this flux to solder all my wire terminals on 8 to 22 gauge wire. Quality is excellent but value dropped one star due to no brush inside bottle.

A major development is shaping up north of Capitol Drive for the City of Brookfield.
Spectrum Development LLC and Rizzo Development Group LLC are proposing a 320,000 square foot light industrial development on a 26-acre site north of Gumina Road and between Springdale and Barker Roads. The City of Brookfield annexed the property from the Town of Brookfield on July 15.
"It fits into the City of Brookfield's master plan. The vacancy rate in Waukesha County is very low right now and there's a limited supply of sites available for industrial development," Todd Rizzo, principal at Rizzo Development, said. "So what is in short supply in the county is what the city (wants). So the timing is dead on."
Rizzo's partner Chris Leffler of Spectrum Development has owned the property for over 10 years and his desires for development are nothing new.
"We've wanted to develop here for years. It's partly been (waiting for) the economy, and the other part has been the annexation by the city and the availability of sewer and water for the property," Leffler said.
Town of Brookfield Administrator Rick Czopp had no comment in regard to the annexation of the property.
The development hinges on the creation of the city's fourth tax incremental financing district, which Brookfield's Community Development authority endorsed last week.
City of Brookfield Director of Community Development Dan Ertl says that taxes from the new development would generate approximately $17 million in new real estate value. The city would recoup its costs over a 14-year term.
As of now, Ertl says that water and sewer work is the only piece of a timeline that he has knowledge of.
"The only goal is that the city plans to extend sewer and water to that property by July 1, 2015," Ertl said.
The development is projected to create up to 300 new jobs and Rizzo says that the developers have been in contact with potential tenants although he declined to mention names.
Although the City of Brookfield's Community Development authority endorsed tax incremental financing district #4 last month, Ertl notes that there are many more steps in the process before the plan can move forward.
"It would have to go through the Plan Commission, the Common Council, a Public Hearing, and the Joint Review Board," Ertl said.
Joe Tierney, the developers' attorney, says that the creation of the TIF district would be a necessity in order for them to proceed with their plans.
"This site has some challenges. In order for development to occur of this type in this location, there's no other way," Tierney said.
Tierney noted that the developers face issues with the grading of the site, bedrock, and soil challenges.
Specifics of exactly what the development will include are still not set in stone; however, Rizzo says the development will be sizable.
"We've presented some conceptual plans and it looks like (the site) lends itself to one or two buildings. It's possible it could be three. It just depends on where the site ends up," Rizzo said. "It's probably a two-building development in the neighborhood of 250,000 to 350,000 square feet."
Leffler notes that the developers hope to be able to get started as early as October, depending on the approval of the TIF district.
"We're working through the process of the TIF, so once that is completed, hopefully that will give us a better timeframe and we might be able to do some site preparation and have shovels in the ground next spring," Leffler said. "But we're not just going to sign up with the first person who shows interest. We want to bring a quality user to the City of Brookfield who is going to be sustainable and bring good jobs."

Because of when we can travel I think we will visit Maryland and Deleware this October. Plan to fly into Baltimore and we will have 2 and a half days. We plan to visit Fort McKinley, historic ships, and maybe the aquarium, science museum or Walters art museum (thoughts on these last 3 choices??). We will also walk some of the neighborhoods.
then we will get a car and drive to Annapolis and stay one night there which will give us only one day. We have been there before. Plan to tour the naval academy and maybe the state capital. We could give up one of the above to tool the Hammond Howard house. he next day we will drive to St Michaels and stop at Wye Mills and Easton. the next day we would go toTilghman Island for a festival and the Rebecca Rourk boat tour. I have heard good things both about this boat tour and the Selina 11 in St. Michaels. seems like I t w old be a repeat to do both, any thoughts on this??? then we should have one day to visit the museum in St. Michaels, shop and just chill. Then we would drive to Chestertown, Chesapeake City and probably spend the night in Wilmington but certainly could stay elsewhere. the next morning we plan to tour the Wintherthur museum and then fly out of Philadelphia in the afternoon. any input on itinerary, restaurants, places to stop are all appreciated.

If you have been to Annapolis, it might be worth just going on to the Eastern Shore from Balto. Perhaps spend the night in the historic part of Easton before going on to St Michaels. Try to see Oxford while you are in the area. There is a seasonal ferry from near St M's, otherwise it is quite a drive. But I would not take two boat tours.
You don't say where you are from or when you are coming. I do agree with Winterthur and would add New Castle, south of Wilmington, an 18th century village tucked between urban congestion and the river. I would add Longwood Gardens while you are so near and perhaps a drive through the Brandywine Valley if you don't get to this part of the country too often.
Report Abuse
I'm sorry but there is NO WAY anybody can really "do" Winterthur AND Longwood Gardens AND New Castle and then fly out the same afternoon.
Frankly, I am baffled by the OP's supposed "schedule" with 2 and a half days and about a week's worth of sightseeing.
Report Abuse
dukes, what is OP??? which part are you talking about where there is 2 and a half days and a week's worth of stuff???
I am trying to rework some stuff to get more time when at Winterthur. The problem is that so far I always end there on a Monday and they are not open.
Report Abuse
ackislander, forgot to say that we a from Colorado and we would be there about the 3rd week in October.what would the gardens be like then?
Report Abuse
You could see really beautiful color then...or not. It's hard to predict. Our color in Southeastern VA generally peaks about the end of October, begnnning of Nov and MD and Delaware is usually about the middle of Oct. I think color is going to be early this year. That's my very unscientific prediction based on one oak tree in my neighborhood that has already started to turn.
Report Abuse
So I think I am going to add a couple of days. I know that I want to see Winterthur so if I could choose 2 other attractions what wo und you commend... Hagley, Longsood Gardens, or Nemours???
Report Abuse
I wondered about those 2.5 days, dukes, but I chose to conclude that those were the days in Baltimore itself, not in all.
Report Abuse
Most post that I have read have said that 2 and a half days is plenty for baltimoree
Report Abuse
ahhhh...don't just walk the neighborhoods in Baltimore !!
aquarium, little Italy, federal hill area....nothing else.
Annapolis....naval academy and the small downtown dock area...nothing else.
Report Abuse
tidy--"OP" means "original post" or "original poster". I'd concur that don't have time to see more than Baltimore. It's got a lot to do. We like the Fells Point area; a little less hectic than the Harbor.

Slideshow: First Look: Dorie Greenspan's Beurre & Sel
Large Cookies
3-inch cookies are sold by the piece, ranging in price from $2 to $3.25 ($3.75 for the chubby Chocolate Chunker in the very back).
Dorie and Joshua Greenspan
On working with her son: "It's been remarkable—we were lucky to have such a special relationship. We've really learned so much about each other; I've seen him work in ways I never knew he could. I'm super proud—and I still like him!"
Classic Vanilla Sablé
The butter-rich shortbread is infused with Sonoma Syrup & Co. Vanilla Crush extract: "I'm in love with with it—there's crushed pulp in there, and it's just intoxicating."
World Peace Cookies
For many, the cookie to end all cookies. The dark sablés are made with both cocoa and chunks of dark chocolate, and a hit of salt.
Coconut-Lime Sablé
Though Dorie has a full-time pastry chef baking cookies at breakneck speed, she gets plenty of kitchen time herself. "I'm in charge of the aromatherapy division, and I beg them to let me make cookies like these. I grate the lime zest over the sugar and rub it in by hand to release the oils; the kitchen smells amazing."
Espresso-Chocolate Sablé
With visible grains of espresso and bittersweet Valrhona chocolate.
Chocolate Chunker
"These have pounds of chocolate in them." Consider: melted and chopped bittersweet chocolate and milk chocolate chunks, joined by dried cherries and salted cashews.
Ring Molds
The cookies are punched out—and baked—in these stainless steel ring molds, which preserves their sharp edges.
Ring Molds
Beurre & Sel will be selling the molds later in October. Whether you use them as baker's aides or fashion statements is up to you.
A savory cookie, and another Dorie prefers to make herself because it makes the kitchen smell so good.
Sesame Sea Salt
These mini cookies are made with a touch of almond flour, and topped with black and white sesame seeds.
Cocoa and Cayenne
These spicy sablés come with large flakes of Maldon salt.

Friday night, the Indian Hills Rural Health Building hosted a holiday show put on by the Ottumwa North and South HyVee stores.
Here you can see performances from the OHS music department, as they serenaded guests in the lobby. The holiday show is a place for people to sample what HvVee has to offer during the holiday season.
??This is our annual holiday show,?? Max Dains, co-organizer said. ??Obviously it??s to show off some of the things we do throughout the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. We've got all departments here, from the floral to the meat and produce departments. We've got the indian hills crew doing some chef demonstrations around the area.??
Admission to the event was $5, but all the proceeds will go to a local charity and that organization is yet to be decided. Last year the funds went to the local food banks.

Are you scared? I basically plan on us looking like giant drunk skittles
We should have cut you off when you asked the can driver if you could ride in the trunk.
For some reason there are two like 10 year old black girls crumping at the bar. I feel like I'm in a missy elliot video.
We need you. We already made it on global news and are drunk at the election party.
how do you feel about lunch break shots ?
I do not want to do anything. The words more tequila need to be erased from my vocabulary
I can't believe I paid your booty call for a ride home in cake.

LeBron James becomes youngest ever to 20,000 points

LeBron James becomes youngest ever to 20,000 points
There may never have been an NBA player with more physical gifts than
LeBron James
. He is the size of Karl Malone, he is strong, but he has the quickness of an elite point guard. He has touch and he has that innate court vision and sense of the game that only some of the elite guards in the game have seemed to possess.
So, it really shouldnât be a shock he was the youngest NBA player to 20,000 points with the shot above. He passes
Kobe Bryant
, who got point 20K at 29 years, 122 days old. LeBron did it at 28 years, 17 days.
LeBron also had the advantage of being on teams for years in Cleveland that needed him to score big to have a chance. (Advantage when trying to rack up points, not advantage if you wanted to win titles.) He obliged and put up some huge scoring numbers. It took a move out of his home town and some hard knocks for his mistakes for him to mature enough to lead a team to the title. That and better talent around him.
If you think this record will stand forever, Iâd like you to meet
Kevin Durant
, who has more than 11,000 points at age 24.

Parole de l'Orrient 31 (2006) 1-9
Elia N. KHALIFEH
First of all, I want to thank so much Dr. Sebastian Brock. Because of
him, I had the great opportunity to continue my studies and research in Ox-
ford on this important project. Also, I would like to thank Fr. Samir Khalil
for giving me the opportunity to be among you today.
My paper will consist of a few short words on my project on the Or-
thodox Chalcedonian Manuscripts in Syriac, Arabic, Christian Palestinian
Aramaic (CPA) and Greek.
Before I begin my talk, I want to show a beautiful icon from the very
old Monastery of the Dormition of the Theotokos in Kaftun1, Northern
Mount Lebanon, to summarise how the three languages: Greek, Syriac and
Arabic were used all along in the Orthodox Chalcedonian Patriarchate of
Antioch and all the East. This icon is painted on both sides (i.e. bilateral):
- The first side shows an icon of the Theotokos Hodigitria from the 11th
century by an unknown iconographer. [Plate 1]
- The second side shows an icon of the Theophany (the Baptism of Jesus
Christ) from the 13th century also by an unknown iconographer. [Plate 2]
1) For further information concerning the monastery and the bilateral icon of Kaftun
see: LAMENS, «Notices» (1996) 21-27. MOUAWAD, «Les Mystérieux Monastères de Kaftun»
(2001-2) 95-113. HÉLOU, «L'icône bilatérale de la Vierge de Kaftoun» (2003) 101-31.
IMMERZEEL, «Medieval Wall Paintings» (2004) 11, 25, 31.
Here, I would like also to bring to attention to the recent and extremely important dis-
covery of the ancient and wonderful frescoes in the Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus
near the Monastery of the Theotokos in Kaftun. A project was set up to reveal and preserve
these frescoes hidden under plaster. These frescoes contain a number of inscriptions in Greek,
Syriac Chalcedonian, and Arabic.
Page 2
What is distinctive about the second side of this icon (the Theophany) is
that the inscriptions are written in three languages:
1st) In Greek: we have: "the Baptism" and "Jesus Christ" (in the cen-
tre), "the Prophet Isaiah" (in the upper right corner), and "the Prophet
David" (in the upper left corner).
2nd) In Syriac Chalcedonian: on the open scroll that the Prophet Isaiah
holds in his hand, we read a liturgical composite text taken from Isaiah I: 16,
LV: 1 and XII: 3.
"Thus the Lord says: wash yourselves, make yourselves clean and put
away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. And everyone who
thirsts goes and draws the waters from the spring of salvation."
3rd) In Arabic: on the open scroll that the Prophet David holds, we read
a liturgical composite text taken from the Psalms CXIV [CXIIIA]: 3-5 and
"The sea saw it and fled, and the Jordan turned back. The mountains
feared like the ram, and the hills like the lambs. What ails you O sea that
you fled, and you O Jordan that you turned back. The waters saw you O
God, the waters saw you and were afraid."
In my research, I am trying, through my work on manuscripts, micro-
films, microfiches, checklists, catalogues and other published bibliographies,
to determine the location of manuscripts which originated in the Chalcedo-
nian Orthodox (or Rum Orthodox) patrimony of the Patriarchate of An-
tioch (commonly referred to as the Melkite or Greek Orthodox Church),
along with any relevant material from the Patriarchates of Jerusalem and Al-
exandria - including Sinai.
These manuscripts are in Syriac, Arabic, CPA and Greek, and date from
the 5th to the 19th centuries.
So far, based on catalogues, other publications and on some of the
manuscripts themselves or their copies, I have collected information from
more than 50,000 manuscripts spread around the world. Of these, approxi-
mately, 4250 are definitely Rum Orthodox: 3250 are in Arabic and 1000
are in Syriac and CPA.
My ultimate aim is to compile a catalogue of this corpus of manuscripts
with repertories, inventories, indices and bibliographies.
Page 3
Plate 1 - Theotokos
Plate 2 - Theophany
Page 4
Here I should mention that there are a lot of mistakes and errors in some
of the notes and information on the manuscripts to be found in the catalogues
and other bibliographies.
To give you one result of the research, I will mention only the Syriac,
Arabic and CPA manuscripts in the Bodleian Library in Oxford.
a - Syriac Manuscripts:
Among the collection of the 205 manuscripts, I found 53 which are
definitely Rum Orthodox. The rest belong to the Syriac Orthodox, the
Church of the East, the Maronite, and some of which cannot easily be classi-
fied under any of these patrimonies.
The proportion of Rum Orthodox manuscripts in the Bodleian Library
happens to be considerably higher than that for most other British libraries.
These 53 manuscripts are written in the Syriac Chalcedonian Script
that began to appear in the 10th-11th century.
As for the contents of these manuscripts, all of them are liturgical. Such
as: Horologion [1] (the most used and the less likely to survive), Menaion and
Anthologion [25], Octoechos [9], Triodion (Triodion I) [2], Pentecostarion
(Triodion II) [5], Antiphonarion [1], Alleluiarion, Exapostolarion and
Troparion [2], Lectionary and Epistolarion [5], Psaltirion and hymns [3].
All of them show the particularities of the Rum Orthodox Antiochian li-
turgical tradition.
From the colophons, rubrics and notes of these manuscripts we can learn
a great deal of different and helpful information of importance; for example:
* These manuscripts date from between the 12th and the 16th centuries
when the usage of the Syriac language began to decrease in the Rum Ortho-
dox Antiochian Patriarchate. We have from the: 12th c. (1), 13th c. (2), 15th c.
(7), 16th c. (14).
They use different eras: Era of Adam [Annus Adami, AA], Era of the
World (i.e. Era of the Creation) [Annus Mundi, AM], Era of the Greeks
(i.e. Seleucid Era) [Annus Greacorum, AG], Era of the Incarnation [Annus
Incarnationis, AI], and Era of the Hijrah [Annus Higrae, AH].
* They mention numerous towns, villages, churches and monasteries;
Page 5
mainly from Mount Lebanon and the Syrian Kalamun (between Damascus
and Homs). The places mentioned are: where they were copied, or where
they were located.
These manuscripts were written in or for places like: Balamand (Mon-
astery of the Theotokos), Hardin (Monastery of St. Thomas), Kaftun (Mon-
astery of the Theotokos, and Church of Sts. Sergius and Bacchus), Kfur al-
'Arbeh (Church of St. George), Amiun, Btorram, Baalbeck (Church of St.
Barbara), Ras Baalbeck (Church of St. Elian), and Tabshar (Church of St.
George) in Lebanon. Or in places like: Bludan (Monastery of St. George),
and Yabrud in Syria.
These enable us to draw up a map of the derivation of the manuscripts.
* Also, they mention names of scribes: laymen, monks, deacons,
priests, bishops and patriarchs. We have from the:
- 12th c.: Priest Ibrahim [1 manuscript], Priest Sa'id [1]. [2 names]
- 13th c.: Priest Sham'un ben Freij ben Siar ben La'azar ben Khuri [1].
[1 name]
- 15th c.: Priest Musa ben Ya'qub from Mout Lebanon [1], Priest Tuma
ben Ibrahim ben 'Issa from Fahrah [1], Deacon Ya'qub ben Deacon Yu-
hanna from Hardin [3], Deacon Saliba ben Srur ben Sa'id from Kfur (al-
'Arbeh) [3]. [4 names]
- 16th c.: Bishop Gerasimos of Baalbeck [1], Bishop Yuhanna of
Yabrud ben Priest Ibrahim [1], Hieromonk Saba in Kaftun [1], Hieromonk
Dawud ben Salam from Ras Baalbeck [1], Deacon Makarios in Kaftun dis-
ciple of Yuakim Bishop of Beirut [1], Deacon Gerasimos ben Yusef ben
Musa from Saidnaya [1], Monk Ibrahim ben Dawud from Qara [1], Zosima
ben Priest Dawud from Btorram [1], Yuhanna ben Priest Dawud from Btor-
ram [3]. [9 names]
* We can also find further information in colophons, such as notes
1st) Wakf (donation, dedication, legacy).
2nd) For overeager and acquisitive collectors and scholars, almost all
contain anathemata and curses against anyone who steals the manuscripts.
3rd) Additional historical information provided at a later date (e.g.
earthquakes, famine, plagues, etc.).
4th) Additional material of sociological and demographical changes.

Office of Management and Budget
Fiscal Year 2016 Budget Hearings – In conjunction with the annual budget process, members of the community are invited to attend two public hearings to provide feedback on the Fiscal Year 2016 St. Johns County Budget. The public hearings are scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on September 8 and September 24 in the Board of County Commissioners Auditorium, 500 San Sebastian View. For additional information, please view the FY 2016 Final Millage Rates and Budget, and Budget Calendar, or call the St. Johns County Office of Management and Budget at 904.209.0572.
FY 2016 Proposed Budget Presentation – On July 21, 2015 at 1:30 PM, as part of their regular agenda, the County Commission will hear a Fiscal Year 2016 Recommended County Budget Presentation. Please view the Fiscal Year 2016 Recommended County Budget Workbook.
The annual County budget process requires a number of steps, ranging from its preparation through adoption. Florida Statutes specify that a tentative balanced County budget must be submitted to the County Commission as the next step in the budget process.
At this point in time, the FY 2016 Recommended County Budget has been balanced with expenditures and adequate reserves within each County fund equal to projected fund revenues. County Administration believes the Recommended County Budget represents a funding level that can reasonably assure the achievement of St. Johns County's operational needs while minimizing the tax impact on its citizenry.
A follow-up County Commission workshop on the FY 2016 Recommended County Budget will be scheduled tentatively for July 28, 2015. At that time, following the workshop, County Commission will be asked to set the tentative FY 2016 County millage rates in order to accomplish the required mailing of notices of proposed property taxes.
FY '12 Performance Measures Report
Annual Budgets
The Financial Plan, Budget in Brief and Capital Improvement Plan are prepared annually by the Office of Management & Budget (OMB) of the Board of County Commissioners. These reports present the annual budget for the County at October 1st of each year. St. Johns County has been awarded a Distinguished Budget Presentation award for fourteen consecutive years.

The Holy See has announced the president of the Vatican bank must leave his post after only 16 months in office. It indicated the move came in the wake of recent efforts to clean up the bank's internal structures.
DPA news agency said Tuesday the shake-up would see its bank's president, Ernst von Freyberg (pictured above), leave after having been appointed in the final days of Benedict XVI's papacy.
Australian Cardinal George Pell, who Pope Francis chose to chair the Secretariat of Economy, said it was time "to move the bank to a second phase of reform under new leadership."
The new board of the bank, which is formally known as the Institute for Religious Works, or IOR, was expected to be announced on July 8, with French financier Jean-Baptiste de Franssu widely tipped to replace von Freyberg.
Shrinking customer base
Also on Tuesday, the Vatican bank published its 2013 accounts, which saw net profits drop to 2.9 million euros ($3.9 million) from 86 million euros in the previous year.
The IOR pointed out that it had written off 28.8 million euros in investments last year, but gave no further details.
The bank closed thousands of client accounts in a bid to weed out suspicious transactions . It said its total number of customers fell to 15,495 from 18,900 back in 2012.

Greece has unveiled a draft budget for 2016 that sticks to the savings targets Athens agreed upon with its international creditors back in August. The country's economy isn't expected to return to growth until 2017.
German carmaker Volkswagen has said the overwhelming majority of its roughly 11 million cars with built-in defeat devices were sold across Europe. The company again apologized for the "wrongdoing of individuals."
