Skip to comments.The Low-Wage Jobs Explosion
Posted on 09/02/2012 7:46:34 PM PDT by Nachum
NEW YORK Sure, the economy is adding jobs these days
but most of those positions pay pretty poorly. Some 58% of the jobs created during the recovery have been low-wage positions, according to a new report by the National Employment Law Project. Only 22% have been mid-wage jobs and 20% higher-wage positions. These low-wage jobs pay $13.83 an hour or less. The recovery continues to be skewed toward low-wage jobs, reinforcing the rise in inequality and Americas deficit of good jobs, said Annette Bernhardt, NELPs policy co-director. While theres understandably a lot of focus on getting employment back

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I never hear anyone talk of "McJobs". I wonder why?
The NY Times just recently had a piece on this exact same topic as well.
I know the MSM is careful to run interference for the Kenyan on these kinds of stories, but he can't be pleased to see them being put out there.
Notice how they talk about "The Recovery" in the first few sentences.
What a joke.
This is the normal result of communist economic policies.
More wage inequality.
I know I was better off after four years of Reagan than I would have been with four more years of Carter. I predict that four years from now, after Romney and Ryan have been in office, we'll see another heavy economic expansion similar to the 80's. Oh, and don't forget, not soon after Romney is inaugurated, the homeless will magically reappear.
Yep, and the numbers help Obama mask the real story.
Yep. After the lay off...took a job at$12 dollars less an hour. Can't consume luxury items and can barely save. Thanks Obammy for making me "equal"!
A completely 'service economy' will not work for long.
In order to stay viable and growing, manufacturing must be first and foremost the bedrock of any economy that will ever hope to last.
You cannot build a strong nation on nail salons, fast food and entertainment venues........
I believe Michael Savage wrote a book about this. Title was Trickle Up Poverty.
The purpose of socialism is to make everyone equally miserable........
Not necessarily obama wages, more like global wages. Don't expect any change no matter which of the two liberals end up @ 1600 Pennsylvania ave.
Isn't that what the libs say when they're complaining about Wal Mart? Is this the Wal Mart recovery?
Bush and last GOP Congress Federal Deficit 2006. $160 billion
Obama and Last Dem Congress Federal Deficit 2010. $1.6 TRILLION
Right they "all the same" /s
Its a fact that 999 out of 1000 Americans can not grasp. The more of the economy that is in the hands of Gov't controllers and central planners, the more the benefits flow only to those connected to the Gov't.
Fundamentally the only sources of wealth are to
Extract it - fishing, forestry, mining and drilling
Grow it - farming
Manufacture it - from resources extracted or grown
Transport it - from where it is to where it is needed
Taking in each others laundry (also known as a service economy) doesn't create wealth, it just spreads it thinner and thinner until it is all gone.
A year or so ago, someone posted an interactive"unemployment map" which showed--VIVIDLY--how unemployment has spread throughout the country.
In 2004 there were pockets of low-employment, red in color. By 2006 those red areas had spread out quite a bit, but by 2008 they were starting to take over the map, and by 2010, the whole country was "bathed in red".
Gave a very simple to understand and visually powerful picture of what the Dims have done to destroy this country--starting when they took control of the Congress!
If anyone can find that map, I'd sure love to see it again!
Yes. Because the available wealth keeps decreasing rather than increasing.
The USSR wouldn't have lasted 20 years without their mineral and oil wealth.
It's the new normal.
EXACTLY what I was taught many years ago. Another might be knowledge based ideas that can be used and/or sold. Also I was taught that to improve a local ecomomy, such items be sold outside of one's locality to increase local wealth.
"Yep, and the numbers help Obama mask the real story."
Nothing is masking it from the people forced to take those jobs (or their families and friends), and nothing is masking it from those that can't even get those jobs. The horrible economy (unemployment, inflation) should suffice to sink Obama, because they simply can't be hidden from the average person.
"Not necessarily obama wages, more like global wages. Dont expect any change no matter which of the two liberals end up @ 1600 Pennsylvania ave."
I'd still rather give Romney a try than the token teleprompter; if Romney doesn't get some results he will get demolished in the mid-term and sent packing two years later.
Also, you can't create wealth by counting it (accountants) or suing it (lawyers). We've got FAR too many of those guys in the USA now!
Junk economics.
Hong Kong has a strong economy, and for most of its modern history, has always had one, yet it manufactures nothing and has no wealth of natural resources either. Hong Kong is a strong economy because it concentrates on what it does best and what the rest of the world (i.e., Hong Kong's customers) finds most valuable: it provides SERVICES to the global economy, and in return, it receives manufactured goods, agricultural goods, etc. "Manufacturing" is not at all necessary for a viable, growing economy; FREEDOM of trade and division of labor are important.
It also follows that if a country manufactures everything it needs on its own, even if it has a great wealth of natural resources, it won't be a strong, viable, growing economy. In fact, it will be a weak economy. The economist Henry George made the following argument in the 19th century, the logic of which is still relevant (and, I believe, still unanswerable) today:
One of the ways a country effectively subdues another country during wartime is by imposing an economic blockade, thus forcing the blockaded country to rely economically completely on itself: trade with other countries is forcibly prevented, so the blockaded country must manufacture everything on its own. No military strategist would think this was a way of strengthening the blockaded country! By forcing the blockaded country to rely completely on its own resources, you obviously weaken it. That's why blockades are imposed. That's why they work.
And yet, certain conservatives (Trump, et al.) believe that if a country such as the US imposed a blockade on itself by implementing economic policies forcing it to manufacture things it could simply trade for much more cheaply, it would somehow have the opposite effect of a military blockade, and would magically strengthen the economy! Obviously, whether a blockade is imposed from the outside by an a enemy nation, or from the inside by one's own government policies, the result will be the same: the blockaded nation will waste its resources, its land, and its labor, trying to be completely self-sufficient, by having to manufacture everything domestically. Under conditions of liberty and free trade, countries do the same thing as individual people: they concentrate their efforts on whatever they do best, and whatever their customers estimate to be of the highest economic value. Then they trade, value for value.
In the case of the US and the rest of the world, what we do best in other words, what our customers, the global economy estimate to be the contribution with the highest value are services like electronic component design (not manufacture, but design); computer and smartphone design (not manufacture, but design), software (a service, not a manufactured object), and of course, banking, finance, and insurance. Those services add the most value to various final products, the manufacture and assembly of which are more efficiently done by others, elsewhere.
Finally, a common flawed assumption of much junk economics is that a service is either not a true economic good, or is somehow "less valuable" than a physical good. Thus, according to this view, the service of providing a haircut is less valuable to an economy than the physical manufacture of the scissors. This is utterly untrue and reflects nothing but a materialistic bias on the part of those who make the claim. In fact, "value" in an economy is subjective and in the eye of the beholder ultimately, the consumer. If consumers are willing to pay a higher price for the service of a haircut than they are for a physical pair of scissors, then by definition the haircut service adds more value to the economy than the manufacture of the physical scissors. That scissors are necessary for providing a haircut is true but irrelevant to the argument.
You might think of it this way: brain surgery is a service; scalpels are physically manufactured objects. Which adds more value to an economy? True, the surgical service requires the physical scalpels, but the scalpels take on a greatly added value in the hands of the skilled surgeon. Same can be said for the scissors and the barber. And the entrepreneurial manufacturer and his banker or financier. And the assembly of smartphones and those who design and improve them: the service ADDS VALUE to the physically manufactured object. And in these cases, the added value is itself of higher value than the original physical object.
Again, what the US should be doing is whatever it does best that adds the most value to the world economy, which, today, is no longer physically manufacturing things, but ADDING VALUE to things manufactured by others, elsewhere, at less cost.
C'mon. It is better to see one working for 13 bucks than one spending gubmint benefits to consume booze and meth instead of working.
If people voluntarily pay to have their laundry done, then by definition, it creates wealth, even if it's not something physically tangible. Conversely, if no one buys an ugly, inefficient, Chevy Volt, even if every solid part was patriotically manufactured in the good old USA, then, by definition, zero wealth was created even though the entire product is physically tangible. In fact, there was a net loss of wealth, because Chevy misdirected resources land, labor, capital into manufacturing something that no one found valuable. The land, labor, and capital could have been used to create something else that people find valuable . . . for example, they could have been used to build and staff a laundromat that provided the valuable service of taking in people's laundry.
If people voluntary pay money to have their laundry taken in, washed, folded, and handed back to them in a timely manner, and if they do NOT voluntarily want to pay money to Chevy to buy a physically manufactured object such as a Volt, then the service of taking in the laundry has added value wealth to the economy, and the manufacture of a physical good like the Volt has added nothing; in fact, it has subtracted wealth from the economy.
Additionally, what you're not seeing is the fact that laundry has to get done, willy-nilly. If my laundry is not done by the low-wage immigrants operating the laundromat down the block, then it has to be done by high-wage-ME, at home. Since my time is worth a lot more than the low-wage immigrant's time, having to do my own laundry results in a loss to the economy in the same two hours that I might normally waste doing my own laundry, I could have been at the office doing two more hours of productive high-value-added work. That someone else takes in my laundry and does it for me, however, frees up my time and labor so that I can be more productive and add a bit more value to the economy.
Thus, the service of taking in laundry also indirectly creates wealth by freeing up other people's time and labor.
It is not just that so many low wage jobs are being created, many that paid fairly well, are now paying LESS, even though the company is making a very good profit. And those that lost jobs are finding that when companies hire, they now hire at lower wages for the same job. And if you are 50+ you are going to have a harder time finding a job. You are getting to that age where health care is the driving factor not your skills.
No, you're all wrong. The only sources of wealth are:
* Tax it from "the rich"
* Tax it from "Big Business"
* "Solar Energy" and other "Green Jobs"
* Returns on "Investment" in human capital
* Get the Federal Reserve to print more of it
* Give it to government employees and welfare recipients to multiply by spending it in "the economy" as stimulus
Forgot one:
* General Motors
That's a lot of big red O's
And that is the intent, at least the part creating more poor people. This will give the dirty Americans their just award for their supposed excesses, killing the Indians, enslaving blacks, harming the environment, yada, yada yada.
At the same time, these policies are creating more government dependence and the number of likely Dimocratic voters.
The rich get to pay for it all, until they are poor, too.

Looking back at WSU's loss in the desert
Well, there is basketball tomorrow. It's obvious some of you are looking forward to that. We'll be there. But before we begin another sport and another season, we're still wrapped up in football. Our follow on WSU's loss at UA is on the link, along with the look back and, yes, a short basketball advance. Read on.
• Here's the follow ...
PULLMAN – Whether or not Washington State University has freshman quarterback Jeff Tuel available for Saturday's home game with UCLA has yet to determined.
"He's sore today, but (there was) very little swelling, which is a real positive," coach Paul Wulff said Sunday. "He had to get an MRI today to see if there was anything going on more than they anticipated."
Tuel, who is still on crutches, was injured in the second quarter of the Cougars' 48-7 loss to the University of Arizona last Saturday, a defeat that dropped WSU's record to 1-8, 0-6 in the Pac-10.
The freshman was trying to scramble when linebacker Xavier Kelley caught him from behind. As Tuel went down, he slightly dislocated his kneecap, suffering what is known as a subluxation, in which the kneecap is pulled laterally from its usual path.
"It's just wait and see," said Wulff, who expects to know the MRI results today. "We'll see what happens tomorrow and on Tuesday."
Since taking over as the starter five games ago, Tuel has completed 71 of 121 passes (58.7 percent) for 789 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions.
If he can't go against UCLA (4-5, 1-5) on Dad's Weekend, sophomore Marshall Lobbestael will step in as the starter.
Lobbestael was 7 of 11 for 103 yards in relief of Tuel on Saturday and is 56 of 116 for 578 yards this season. He started two games earlier this year and has thrown three touchdown passes – including a 64-yarder to Jared Karstetter for WSU's only score against UA – and five interceptions.
But quarterback isn't the only area of injury concern for Wulff this week. The Cougars lost two safeties Saturday and played the second half with Myron Beck, who has played mostly linebacker this season, filling in deep.
Wulff is hoping usual starting strong safety Chima Nwachukwu will be able to return from his sprained ankle.
"We think Chima has a good shot at coming back," Wulff said. "We think Jay Matthews will be back, so with them and (starting free safety) Xavier (Hicks) and the ability of Myron to play there, we'll be OK."
Matthews suffered a shoulder subluxation against UA and missed the second half.
Kicker Nico Grasu (quadriceps pull) and left tackle Tyson Pencer (ankle sprain) will probably miss this week, replaced by Kevin Rooney and Steven Ayers, respectively.
Wulff admits his team is tired after playing five of the last six games on the road, all losses and all against schools that were ranked at some time this season.
"That's a pretty tough stretch for any team in the country," Wulff said.
He canceled on-the-field practice Sunday and expects to hold shorter sessions this week.
"They were a little relieved, sure," Wulff said of the time off. "It's what they need right now. We need to come back on Tuesday and have a good, solid practice.
"It won't be long, but it needs to be a crisp practice."
• And here's the look back ...
Arizona 48, WSU 7
• High point of the game
After nine games, sophomore receiver Jared Karstetter has six touchdown catches for a team that has found the end zone just 14 times. But none might have been better than his fourth-quarter 64-yarder that was the result of an audible between he and backup quarterback Marshall Lobbestael. Though each gave the other for deciding to go for a big gain, it was Karstetter who made the play work. He snagged Lobbestael's pass with one hand despite Mike Turner's best efforts, tucked the ball away and sprinted for the score.
• Low point of the game
It didn't take long to get to this point. Thirteen seconds, in fact. The opening kickoff came down to Travis Cobb at the Arizona 5-yard-line. He cut to the right, up the middle, where the Wildcats' return team had opened an Escalade-wide hole in the Cougar coverage. Cobb raced through, made kicker Patrick Rooney miss and out-ran Terrance Hayward's best effort. The 95-yard kickoff return was the first time since 1998 a Wildcat had returned the opening kickoff for six.
• A pat on the back
As he tried to drag his 22-year-old body up the locker room steps after the game Saturday, senior linebacker Andy Mattingly grimaced. "When did you turn 50," he was asked. Mattingly smiled. "Today," he answered. Playing more than 60 plays in 80-degree heat against a physical Arizona team aged Mattingly perceptibly. But he persevered, despite a sore right knee that limited his speed, and ended up with 11 tackles, second only to safety Xavier Hicks' 12.
• Needs fixing
There is no easy way to say this. Until the Cougars receive competent – not outstanding, not great, just competent – left-tackle play, their passing attack won't work. Tyson Pencer tried first Saturday, whiffed a couple times and finally left with a sprained ankle. Freshman Alex Reitnouer, 6-foot-5 and 253 pounds, was up next and he got overpowered, being stood up and driven back into quarterback Jeff Tuel on one play. Steven Ayers took the final turn and seemed to be more productive, especially sealing off the outside on running plays. But this is a key position for every team and one that is probably the Cougars' most unsettled in an unsettling season.
• Three unanswered questions
• How long will Tuel be out? According to coach Paul Wulff on Sunday night, it's not known how long Tuel's knee injury will keep him from the field. The good news for Tuel was the swelling was light, indicating the damage may have been light as well. The bad news? Until there is no swelling and Tuel can perform certain exercises without pain, he will probably have to sit.
• Is there a chance this Saturday? Last week things looked brighter. But that was before UCLA held off Washington, Tuel went down, there was another rash of injuries at safety and kicker Nico Grasu came up lame. Maybe the best hope for the Cougars now is a good old-fashioned Palouse snow storm. After all, the Bruins, an 18-point favorite, have never seemed to play well when it's cold in Pullman. Add in their injuries at the quarterback spot – starter Kevin Prince is questionable after taking a blow to the head against UW – and this might still be WSU best chance for another win.
• How will WSU fill its safety gap? Though Anthony Carpenter could probably help the Cougars this week, there is no way the freshman's redshirt will be burned for just three games. So the Cougars will have to hope Chima Nwachukwu's ankle heals enough for the junior to play. Along with Hicks, that would give WSU two experienced players back there. Jay Matthews, a redshirt freshman who missed the second half Saturday with a shoulder injury, should also be back. Myron Beck, who bulked up to play linebacker this year, will also be thrown into the breach.
• And here's the basketball advance
PULLMAN – The public will have their first chance to see the Ken Bone-coached Cougars tonight at Beasley Coliseum, when Washington State University hosts Lewis-Clark State College at 7.
The Cougars, who were 17-16 last season under current Virginia coach Tony Bennett, play their only exhibition game of Bone's first year against the NAIA Warriors. Admission is free. The first official game is Friday, when Mississippi Valley State comes to Friel Court.
Sophomores Klay Thompson, who averaged 12.5 points a game, and DeAngelo Casto, both members of the Pac-10 All-Freshman team last season, and senior Nic Koprivica are expected to play crucial roles for WSU this year.
Bone comes to WSU from Portland State, which he guided to the NCAA Tournament the last two seasons.
• That's it for now. We'll be back in the morning with some thoughts – we only ever have "some" – and links. Until then …

By Dennis Waszak Jr., AP Sports Writer
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. Jonathan Vilma laughs at the notion that the New York Jets might be catching a break.
Just because the New England Patriots might not have some key players in the season opener Sunday, the Jets linebacker knows that doesn't mean things will be any easier for New York.
"You want to play them when they are at their best," Vilma said Thursday. "You want to play every opponent at their best. The injuries that they have, I don't think they are going to affect them. They are still going to run their offense and do what they do. For us, it doesn't make a difference whether they are injured or not."
The Patriots will be without two of their best defensive players in defensive end Richard Seymour, on the physically unable to perform list with an undisclosed injury, and safety Rodney Harrison, suspended four games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. It's also uncertain whether wide receiver Randy Moss will play after being sidelined most of training camp by a hamstring injury.
Quarterback Tom Brady missed a portion of practice Thursday because of a chronic right shoulder injury, but the Jets know he'll likely be leading New England's offense Sunday.
"I have a lot of respect," Vilma said of Brady. "He's always done a great job against us. He's always had good games."
That's more truth than it is exaggeration. In the 12 games he's started against the Jets, Brady is 10-2 and has thrown 14 touchdowns and just five interceptions. He's 6-0 against New York at the Meadowlands, the site of Sunday's game.
"I can't say enough good things about him and what he does year-in and year-out," Jets coach Eric Mangini said. "Game-in and game-out, pressure situations, his ability to read defenses and understand where the defense is going to be vulnerable and where he's going to be able to make some plays."
Brady needs three touchdowns to reach 150 for his career, and has posted an impressive 99.6 passer rating on the road. He might be able to improve on those numbers this weekend when he faces a Jets secondary that could include touted rookie cornerback Darrelle Revis in the starting lineup.
"They will be throwing the ball a lot," Revis said. "As a secondary, you just have to play hard, do what you have to do to make plays and just go out there have fun and try to win."
The game could be short on fun for the Jets if Brady gets full use from his new stable of wide receivers. Besides Moss, the Patriots added Donte' Stallworth, Wes Welker and Kelley Washington to go along with Jabar Gaffney.
"We have seen them all," safety Kerry Rhodes said. "We know what they are all capable of doing and we know that they are great receivers, but we will be ready to play. We have a good game plan."
New England is so deep at the position this season, it was able to release Reche Caldwell, the Patriots' leading receiver a year ago.
"With the changes they made, they can do anything," Rhodes said. "They can go five-wide, four-wide or with three tight ends. They can do whatever they want. We have to be ready for everything they can do."
Despite the success Brady has had against them, the Jets know they can beat him. After nearly defeating him in Week 2 at home, New York went up to Foxborough and constantly pressured Brady in a 17-14 win. The lasting image from that game was a muddied Brady sitting on the turf as the Jets celebrated around him following a sack by Shaun Ellis, who forced a fumble to seal the win.
Brady was solid against the Jets in the playoffs two months later, turning a one-possession game into a late rout.
"We prepare for everything and the great thing is playing these guys as many times as we have, we understand their style," Brady said. "It's still very challenging to prepare for because you have to prepare for everything. I hope we are more prepared this time around than we were the last time around in the playoff game."
The oddsmakers have the Patriots listed as the favorite to win the game and the AFC East, a familiar predicament for the Jets.
"It was the same thing when we went up there," Vilma said. "Everyone said we had no chance to win when we went up there. We're not worried about that."

1994 Nissan Maxima RecallsNissan Recalls 1990-1994 Models Due to Problem with Fuel Filler Tube
Nissan has recalled 1990-1994 Maxima and 1990-1992 Stanza models because a mixture of mud and salt may get trapped between the fuel filler tube and wheel housing, which can cause corrosion. This can lead to fuel leakage and a possible fire. Also, the left rear seat belt retractor is mounted to the wheel housing, and in the event of significant corrosion, the mounting could fail in a vehicle crash. Dealers will inspect these vehicles and corrective action will be taken depending upon the extent of the corrosion.
Nissan has recalled 1993-1994 Maxima models because the aluminum wheels were excessively clear coated, which can leave too much distance between the wheel nuts and the wheel hub. This can cause the wheel nuts to loosen over time, causing the hub bolts to break and the wheel to separate from the vehicle. Dealers will remove the clear plastic coating from the brake rotor mating surface on the back of each wheel and from the wheel nut mating surfaces. The wheels will be reinstalled and the wheel nuts tightened.

LOS ANGELES – The NBA released its annual general managers survey in October and the answers were fairly predictable. Asked which player they most wanted to take a game-deciding shot, all but three of the 26 GMs polled selected Kobe Bryant.
He didn't get a single vote.
That says something about both Bryant and James. So did Sunday afternoon.
The NBA matched its two leading scorers and brightest stars against each other, nervously weathered a 10-minute rain delay then got the very type of thrilling finish a national stage deserves. Forty-one points for James, 33 for Bryant and a spirited, successful fourth-quarter comeback for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Funny thing about those game-deciding shots: They don't matter much if you don't take them.
The clock had already expired on the Cavaliers' 98-95 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers as Bryant watched the ball leave his fingertips for the last time Sunday. With two defenders collapsing on him, Bryant had passed to Luke Walton behind the three-point line only to watch his teammate fumble the ball before hurriedly shuffling it back to him as the final second ticked away. Bryant's shot was worthless as soon as he released it.
"Nobody wanted to shoot," Cavs guard Larry Hughes said.
Eight months ago everyone said the same about James. With Cleveland trailing Detroit by two late in last season's Eastern Conference finals opener, James drove into the lane and fired a pass to Donyell Marshall in the corner. Marshall's three-point attempt missed, the Cavaliers lost and James was criticized for not taking the shot himself. When Cleveland lost the next game after James shot – and missed – the criticism grew.
James' shaky free-throw shooting last season also contributed to the belief that he couldn't play well under pressure. He was too eager to pass, his critics said, too eager to give up the responsibility of deciding the game's outcome.
James went a long way toward retiring that tag with his 48-point performance in Game 5 of those same conference finals. After spending the offseason improving his jump shot, he looks even more comfortable with the ball in his hands and the clock ticking down. As for fourth-quarter production: Sunday was Cleveland's league-high 17th victory when trailing by at least nine points with less than eight minutes left.
James likely has had something to do with a few of those wins. Against the Lakers, he scored six of his 14 fourth-quarter points in the final 76 seconds, driving for a layup, sticking a 22-footer over Bryant then coolly making both his free throws after Bryant intentionally fouled him with nine seconds left. Bryant, meanwhile, missed six of his seven shots in the final quarter and, according to Lakers coach Phil Jackson, "looked tired" after playing all but 1 minute, 12 seconds of the second half. During the Lakers' loss in Cleveland last month, Bryant also missed two crucial shots in the final minutes with James chasing him.
That's not going to tarnish Bryant's reputation as the game's preeminent pressure performer. Nor should it. No player, not even James, is as adept at creating his own shot as Bryant. Nor can any player match Bryant's ruthlessness.
Need to win one game or even one playoff series? Take Bryant.
James, despite his improvement this season – and Bryant's 4-for-15 second half – isn't in Bryant's class as a shooter. Bryant also still has a higher ceiling for game-to-game greatness.
Because of that, though, James isn't prone to the same peak-to-valley dips. While Bryant still seems to play with an on-off switch, alternately debating whether to involve his teammates or impose himself on the game, James seems to merely play. Among current players, his court vision is rivaled only by Steve Nash and Jason Kidd.
James occasionally still settles for his jump shot, but he's at least shooting it with more balance now.
"If you look at the Game 5 (against Detroit), he took over the game shooting a lot of shots that if you had a seventh-grade team, you'd cover their eyes and say don't watch," Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said. "But those are shots he makes, so those are shots we have to live with a lot."
The Cavaliers lived with it Sunday. Saying he benefited from a 12-minute break in the first quarter after officials halted the game to stop water from dripping onto the court from a leak in the Staples Center's roof, James played the entire second half. He watched as forward Anderson Varejao was carried off the court with a sprained ankle that figures to sideline him for a few weeks. Then James watched center Zydrunas Ilgauskas foul out with more than six minutes left.
The Cavaliers continued to put the ball in James' hands. He continued to make plays. So did Bryant, tasked with compensating for the loss of his promising young center, Andrew Bynum.
"Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players we have in this world today, and I feel I am, too," James said. "So going against a guy like that just raises your game."
In the end, Bryant was left to walk off knowing he still had one bullet left in his gun.
Game-deciding shots? That one came 20 seconds earlier when James raised up over Bryant and fired.

Belkin staffer caught paying for Amazon reviews
Belkin's Business Development Representative, Mark Bayard, has reportedly been paying Internet surfers to post fake positive reviews or poorly selling Belkin products on Amazon.com, according to a Friday report. Bayard has posted on Amazon's Mechanical Turk website, which pays users to perform tasks computers cannot, paying them on a per-task basis. At the time, Bayard offered 65 cents for every positive review posted, urging users need not own the product they are reviewing. The practice has both been challenged for its ethics and violates Amazon's Terms of Service.

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj

The luxury sedan starts at $99,900 for the 4S model, and scales up to the Panamera Turbo, which sells for $146,900. Other vehicles that currently support CarPlay include the 2016 911 and the 2017 models of Macan, 718 Boxster, and 718 Cayman.

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
The UK Government has proposed that the tax rate on certain profits from UK shale gas production should be reduced from 62% to 30%. This will make the UK's shale gas tax rate among the lowest in the world.
Under the current tax regime, profits from gas production are ring-fenced and subject to a higher rate of corporation tax of 30% and a supplemental charge of 32%. In addition, for oil and gas produced from oil fields granted development consent before 16 March 1993, Petroleum Revenue Tax is also payable on profits at a rate of 50%. This is deductible as an expense when calculating profits for corporation tax and supplemental charge purposes so it gives an overall tax rate of 81% for such fields and 62% for other fields, although there is a 100% first year allowance for most capital expenditure. The high rate has traditionally been justified by the idea that the exploitation of oil and gas depletes the country's non-renewable resources and so a premium to the standard tax rate is required. This very high rate has been reduced for certain areas where the extraction of the oil and gas was seen as being technically difficult by the granting of "field allowances", which remove the supplemental charge from certain profits arising in those fields.
New proposals
The Government has now issued new proposals for the shale gas industry, in a consultation paper published on 19 July 2013; Harnessing the potential of the UK's natural resources: a fiscal regime for shale gas. The Government has proposed an approach based at the pad level (where a "pad" is the term used to describe the drilling and extraction site). The "pad allowance" is to operate in a similar way to existing field allowances, by exempting a portion of the company's income from the supplementary charge and therefore effectively reducing the tax rate on that portion from 62% to 30%. The logic to this is that the costs of shale gas extraction will be high but, while it is easy to identify the discrete fields or reservoirs of oil and gas in conventional production techniques, unconventional hydrocarbons cover larger areas with indistinctly defined boundaries so the existing field allowance system would not be suitable to grant relief. In effect, unconventional production techniques such as hydraulic fracturing would be treated as if they are taking place within a field where field allowances are available so that a proportion of the income, based on the capital expenditure incurred which is eligible for 100% first year capital allowances in relation to the shale gas pad, will be exempt from the supplemental charge. This gives a good incentive for capital investment in these areas.
Contributions to the consultation close on 13 September and can be made directly to HMRC or you can contact the author or your regular K&L Gates contacts.
The new allowance has been designed to address the high upfront costs associated with shale gas projects and to encourage investment in the industry. However, there are a number of material issues which the consultation paper seeks industry input on. In particular, existing field allowances can be used fully over a minimum period of five years but the potential steep decline rates from shale gas production may mean that this period is inappropriate for the pad allowance. The consultation paper also seeks input on the specific proportion of capital expenditure which would attract the allowance.
The primary objectives of the proposals are intended to encourage early investment in the exploration for, and development of, shale gas in the UK and to maximise the economic production of the UK's shale gas reserves. George Osborne is openly ambitious to make the UK tax regime "the most generous for shale in the world." The proposals will secure this. The tax break for shale gas is significant and it is likely that the proposals will encourage substantial investment in the industry.

The death penalty continues to generate intense debate, including in Nebraska — one of 33 states that authorize capital punishment. In this debate, Nebraska Solicitor General J. Kirk Brown and University of Colorado Boulder professor Michael Radelet will explore such questions as whether the death penalty is humane, fairly applied, reduces violent crime, or is cost effective. They'll also examine impacts on the condemned person, the legal and judicial systems, victims' loved ones, and the taxpaying society at large.

Create something beautiful,
something new;
live my own way,
shape a path no one knew.
In the depths of my soul,
this I wish most to do.
Be genuine,
strong and always true.
Give hope to others,
like I have a clue.
And if I could paint the sky,
I'd paint it blue;
leave a message in the clouds,
'my gift to all of you.'

Successful rehabilitation will deliver real benefits to society
The rehabilitation of offenders is a cornerstone of the government's criminal justice policy. Fewer offenders will commit less crime requiring fewer prisons costing less money. With 60% of short sentenced prisoners re-offending within a year of release there is a real opportunity to revolutionise the rehabilitation of prisoners. The challenge is that reducing re-offending is a long-term commitment requiring time and investment.
The One Service delivers results for Peterborough prisoners
The One Service: One year on
Peterborough Social Impact Bond
Find out more about our projects
Peterborough Social Impact Bond
Social Finance designed and manages a £5m Social Impact Bond to reduce re-offending among short-sentenced male prisoners leaving Peterborough prison...
£5m FOR PRISONER REHABILITATION IN PETERBOROUGH
The Challenge
Short sentenced prisoners are more likely to reoffend than other groups in the UK. Currently there is no statutory support for them on release. Many prisoners do not have a home, a family or a job to go back to and are often battling mental health and substance misuse problems. Costs to the state are great and the lack of support does not break the cycle of crime.
The Intervention
A consortium of 6 organisations under the auspices of the One* Service offer a tailored service that focuses on the immediate needs such as accommodation, medical services, family support, employment and training, benefits and financial advice. This is to provide stability and support for the prisoners. The intervention does not duplicate existing services and works closely with the prison, public services and local charities.
The Impact
The programme supports 3000 male prisoners and helps them move away from a life of crime. Our "Through the Gates" model has been adopted by Peterborough prison for their female prisoners and the Ministry of Justice has recently announced a roll out of statutory support to all short-sentenced prisoners in England and Wales. Peterborough is the first Social Impact Bond and has led the way for the creation of an international Social Impact Bond market.
Mayor's Office of Police and Crime to reduce drug-related crime
Social Finance assessed the feasibility of a Social Impact Bond to reduce drug-related crime for the Mayor's Office of Police and Crime in London..
Drug using offenders are more likely to reoffend
The Challenge
Drug using offenders re-offend on average 57% within one year and commit a high volume of the crime nationwide. Costs to the system are very high and these offences impact greatly on crime victims. Existing services do not sufficiently address the underlying causes of their reoffending
The Analysis
Social Finance analysed drug arrest data to understand how many individuals are tested positive for drugs, how much crime they commit and how they access current services. We spoke to experts in the field to understand which needs were not being met. We modelled a Social Impact Bond to fill the gaps in provision by offering a flexible range of support including housing, peer mentors and individual case-workers
The Impact
Dedicated support that works with existing services would engage more offenders in drug treatment programmes and would help keep them in treatment. The programme would aim to reduce reoffending among drug using prisoners by a minimum of 10%
Due to high levels of offending, drug-using offenders incur high costs to the police, criminal justice system and other public services, as well as a significant amount of trauma to victims of crime

Visitors to 'Jackass' star's roadside vigil see firsthand 'what drinking and driving can do.'
By Mary J. DiMeglio
Bam Margera at Ryan Dunn's memorial service in West Chester, Pennsylvania

WEST GOSHEN, Pennsylvania — Visitors who came in droves to the stretch of highway where Ryan Dunn's life ended said the deaths of the "Jackass" star and his passenger on Monday serve as a shocking warning that even someone as seemingly immortal as the daredevil couldn't survive the risk of drinking and driving.
"I hope a lot of kids in the community will see what happened to their role model. Maybe this sends a signal that you're not indestructible," said a West Goshen police officer, a father of two teens.
Laraine Livergood of Collegeville brought her three children to the crash site Wednesday night. "It shows what drinking and driving can do," she said. Daughter Valerie, a 15-year-old "Jackass" fan, called Dunn's death "heartbreaking." She and her two sisters, ages 11 and 8, taped a bright-orange poster board to the guardrail with the words, "RIP Ryan Dunn. We love you forever and always."
Accident-reconstruction teams have estimated that at around 2:30 a.m. Monday, Dunn, who a preliminary toxicology report shows was intoxicated, was driving his 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 between 132 and 140 mph in a 55 mph zone. The Porsche collided with a guardrail and went soaring through about 40 yards of trees before hitting one and bursting into flames.
Dunn's family and friends, including "Jackass" stars Bam Margera and Johnny Knoxville, attended a private memorial service on Wednesday. A public service is expected to be announced at a later date.
A steady stream of fans, friends, family and those who are "just curious" have been stopping by at all times of day and night, police officer Joseph Burt said, displaying their love for the merry prankster with flowers, balloons, candles and dozens of Sharpie-scribbled messages on the guardrail.
Browse exclusive, on-scene photos of fan tributes to Dunn in Pennsylvania.
To ensure visitors' safety, officials were watching over the portion of the highway near the roadside vigil, which had been narrowed to one lane in each direction.
West Chester East High School student Tori Williams, 15, said that even though she knows accidents happen all the time, visiting the crash site left her shaken. "It makes me more scared to be a driver," she said.
The scene is disturbing: Skid marks on the highway lead to a long stretch of mangled trees that ends with a single, sturdy tree, blackened from top to bottom but still standing.
Joni Bradshaw, of West Chester, said she hopes young people learn a lesson from the tragedy: "Hopefully, it will teach these kids that you can't get behind the wheel and drive [after you've been drinking]," she said. "It causes nothing but problems and heartache for everyone."
Much to her dismay, her 18-year-old son, Will Bradshaw, said, "At least he went out having fun." Will admitted that even after a couple of his friends were killed while street racing three years ago, he and the rest of his peers have not been more careful when driving and probably won't be after this incident either. "People are gonna do what they're gonna do," he said matter-of-factly.
Chrissy Guthan, of Coatesville, agreed: "They shouldn't have been driving [drunk]. People do it all the time though. We've all done it," the 32-year-old confessed. "Sometimes, you don't make it back." Now that she's a mother, Guthan added, she avoids risky behavior. "But if I didn't have a kid, I'd probably still be doing it," she admitted.
According to the Chester County coroner's office, Dunn's blood alcohol level was .196, more than twice the .08 legal limit in Pennsylvania. The report also says there were no "drugs of abuse" detected in Dunn's system.
The coroner's report lists blunt force trauma and thermal trauma as the official causes of death for Dunn, 34, and his passenger, 30-year-old Iraq war vet Zachary Hartwell, who was credited as a production assistant on "Jackass Number Two" and was working with Dunn on his new G4 show, "Proving Ground."
Hours before the crash, Dunn tweeted a photo of himself, Hartwell and another man at Barnaby's of America, a West Chester bar.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Wednesday that Dunn received at least 23 driving-related citations in the past 13 years, 90 percent of which ended in guilty pleas, including 10 stops for speeding and careless driving and three more for driving with a suspended license. In 2005, he was arrested for drunken driving, but charges were dropped when he completed a probationary program; his license was suspended for more than a year, according to court records.
"He drove too fast," April Margera, mother of Dunn's best friend and "Jackass" co-star Bam Margera, told the local NBC station Monday. "I yelled at him all the time about that."

Cost: $70 to $150
For more info: whistlerecotours.com

Brief Synopsis
In light of the ongoing threats issued by al-Qaeda (AQ) against the United States and its allies, the need to prevent the radicalization of young Muslim men and women remains as pressing as ever, and perhaps nowhere is this task more urgent than in the countries of West Africa. The global expanse of the ongoing war on terror places these territories in the frontline. With large Muslim populations that have hitherto remained mostly impervious to the advances of Islamism, the challenge now confronting the Nigerian government and the international community is ensuring that this remains the case. But in recent months, Islamist groups have been highly active in the region. The aim of this monograph is to assess the potential of Nigeria's Sufi Brotherhoods to act, both individually and collectively, as a force for counter-radicalization, to prevent young people from joining Islamist groups.
