Economic Determinism?
My view is that each particular mode of production, and the relations of production corresponding to it at each given moment, in short 'the economic structure of society', is 'the real foundation, on which correspond definite forms of social consciousness', and that 'the mode of production of material life conditions the general process of social, political and intellectual life'.
-Karl Marx
-A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy
Money for the right kind of education, money for influential friends, money for leisure and peace of mind, money for trips to Italy. Money writes books, money sells them. Give me not righteousness, O Lord, give me money, only money.
-George Orwell
-Keep the Aspidistra Flying
Is life determined by the economic structure of your environment? Is it as simple as: "You are what you do"? Of course it isn't. It is a view which overlooks the complex variety in human character. Furthermore, we should not pigeonhole individuals. It strips them of their humanity and skills and the talents that go beyond the mere acquisition of a paycheck. Yet the common conception of "being" your job reveals quite a lot about how class determines the many facets of your life.
Your job determines, to a certain extent, where you live. If you make a living wage, enough to provide for adequate food and shelter and transportation, most likely you live in a working class neighborhood. If you have just enough money for the basic staples of existence you cannot afford to purchase a mansion, or a luxury car.
Your class is also a big determining factor in other necessities of life. Where you shop for clothing, food and entertainment can be traced to your how much you earn. If you're among the upper class, you can afford a meal with your family or significant other at a five star restaurant and not have keep price in mind while you peruse the menu.
Concerning eating, a Wikipedia article titled "Social class differences in food consumption" paraphrases the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu in noting, "While the middle class can afford to eat whatever they'd like, the working class simply has a 'taste for necessity' and eats what they can afford." Once again, we are reminded of what we earn when we sit down to dinner or what foods are "off limits" due to price at the grocery store.
Beyond food, our economic circumstances have great bearing on our personal life. At a birthday party recently, a woman informed me that she would not date someone who was not economically stable. Indeed, aside from Hollywood fantasies, you do not likely witness cross-class marriage. In a recent article in The Atlantic, Adia Harvey Wingfield wrote, "In her 2015 book, The Power of the Past, the sociologist Jessi Streib shows that marriages between someone with a middle-class background and someone with a working-class background can involve differing views on all sorts of important things-child-rearing, money management, career advancement, to spend leisure time." Once again Plutos, the god of wealth, trumps Eros, the god of sexual attraction.
Beyond dating and marriage, perhaps the most important of all these lack of options is your personal well-being. What if you need urgent medical care and don't have employer sponsored health care? Or perhaps you have a pre-existing condition? Or need medication in order to live a healthy life? Every two to three years I have to have an endoscopy procedure to make sure I do not develop throat cancer. If I did not have any health insurance, this operation would cost me about $5,000!
Now all of this information does not mean that if you are not "well off" you should live in quiet misery. By no means! What the preceding information should do is awaken you to class consciousness. This is the realization that you occupy a specific class. If this makes you angry that you are limited in your choices and direction in life, good. There is PSA poster in the local Du Page county building which exclaims, "Your path in life should not be determined by your zip code." We can paraphrase this and state, "Your path in life should not be determined by your class."
Karl Marx once noted that the goal of philosophy should not be to understand life, but to change it. If you are in the working class, you should work about changing your circumstances. Vote when you can. Get involved with candidates that share your views. And, by all means, do not remain silent. Write letters to newspapers and legislators demonstrating your commitment to great cause of democratic socialism. Only in voice and action will we achieve our vision of democratic socialism.

The flow field was measured near the inlet and the outlet of an axial flow inducer with shrouded and unshrouded configurations combined with a centrifugal pump. Investigations were conducted using a five-hole probe for several flow rates. The shroud induces a counterrotating flow at the inlet and a blockage effect at the outlet in the region of the tip and for all flow rates. The radial distribution of losses keeps the same shape in both configurations, however, the loss level is higher with the shroud, giving a lower efficiency for the combined inducer-impeller configuration. Effects of shrouded inducer on part load instability are not clear and deserve more research, which is in progress.

I just purchased a house in Feb so i'm fairly new to pools.
On Sunday I noticed that the water droped 6-8 inches in a day. And now every morning I check its down about a 1 foot. Its well past the skimmer and the jets. I have a schedule service call through my home warranty but the guy can't come out until Thursday. By that time the pool will be empty.
I'm very concerned with all that water leaking into the ground and damaging my foundation or having the pool get pushed out.
What can I do? I'm thinking about jumping in and covering the main drain with something to slow the leak. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi All,
Very new to DNN and to writing code.
So my question is "what is the simplest way to get data from a SQL Express 2012 table and display it on a DNN page. Also if possible it can be edited and deleted."
There is no budget to buy any add on module, but I am sure there must be a free way to do this.
Thanks in advance,
I use the reports module for this. If you have the reports module type one of the below statements in the sql box to test it.

The U.N. report on the future of Kirkuk, an oil-rich city which minority Kurds say is their ancestral capital, is the latest effort to end decades of conflict over an area that is home to a mix of Kurds, Turkmen and Arabs.
Ending tensions in the north is also seen as crucial to lasting peace in Iraq, where many fear that six years of bloodshed between once dominant Sunni and majority Shi'ite Muslims could be followed by war between Arabs and Kurds.
While foreign officials speak of an auspicious moment for compromise between Kirkuk's rival ethnicities, it will be hard to unravel a conflict rooted deep in Iraqi history.
"The dispute over Kirkuk is connected to oil, ethnicity, identity, land -- everything," said Rakan al-Jubouri, an Arab who is deputy governor of Kirkuk province.
Kurds insist that most people in the province, where rusty oil pipelines line highways and snake across oilfields, want to become part of the Kurdish region that has been virtually independent since 1991.
Sheltered from the war that ravaged the rest of Iraq after the 2003 invasion, Kurdistan appears orderly and prosperous. But there are strenuous objections from Kirkuk's Arabs and Turkmen, who accuse Kurds of greed and abuse.
The U.N. report lands as Iraq looks to national elections late this year and as Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, a Shi'ite Arab whose nationalist message has gained him support, seeks to assert greater central government control over Kirkuk.
His assertiveness brings bitter responses from Arbil, the Kurdish capital, where officials speak in alarmed tones of an authoritarian style akin to Saddam Hussein, who slaughtered Kurds en masse.
"Nobody can control Iraq in a dictatorial way. We have a right to our opinion, and we reject any decision against Kurdish people, crushing articles of the constitution," said Adnan Mufti, head of the Kurdish parliament.
Iraq's 2005 constitution envisaged a referendum on Kirkuk, but it has not happened. Arabs and Turkmen say it cannot now.
Arabs and Turkmen in Kirkuk complain that Kurds have exploited their strength -- some blaming U.S. officials for handing them control of the province in 2003 -- and say Kurds have moved half a million Kurds into Kirkuk since then.
The rift between Iraq's Kurds and Arabs widened after Maliki brought a new division of Iraqi Army troops to Kirkuk, alarming Kurdish Peshmerga troops long stationed in the province.
Yet U.S. officials suggest that Kurdish politicians may be more ready to compromise as they contemplate the withdrawal of longtime ally the United States and the likelihood they will lose some of their parliamentary clout in upcoming polls.
Many Kurds speak fearfully of resurgent Arab power and of the U.S. plan to withdraw all its troops by the end of 2011.
"We have to convince (the Kurds) to be trusting in both of their governments ... that the international community won't allow that to happen, civil war or unjust treatment of people," said Colonel Ryan Gonsalves, the U.S. commander in Kirkuk.
The U.S. military is watching for increased violence in Kirkuk, where a car bomb killed 10 people last week. After six years of bloodshed and bickering, many of the city's people are filled with cynicism.
Ali Sadik, a spokesmen for the Turkmen Ily party, sees little reason for optimism. "There is no intention or real solution from the Kurdish side. On paper, there is dialogue, but no action," he said.

America's poor performance in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, education is seen as one of the major causes of the shortage of skilled manufacturing workers. As Manufacturing Day – an image and awareness campaign – approaches on Oct. 5, can manufacturers and their partners in academia and government succeed in refocusing students on STEM and fix the skilled labor gap?
|Related Stories

|Worth a Look: U.S. Manufacturing Helps Rover Get to Mars
|Worth a Look: Fixing Equipment Before It Breaks
According to a September 2011 survey of manufacturers, conducted by the Manufacturing Institute, 67 percent of respondents reported a moderate to severe shortage of available, qualified workers and 56 percent expected the problem to get worse in the next three to five years. Of those, 5 percent said their available jobs go unfilled because of a lack of appropriately skilled workers.
Studies have traced the lack of skilled workers to America's poor performance in STEM education. STEM, which stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, is noted as a fundamental requirement for many high-tech manufacturing jobs in the country, yet "only 32 percent of U.S. and private school students in the class of 2011 are deemed proficient in mathematics," according to a speech Rick Stephens, senior vice president of human resources and administration at Boeing, delivered last summer.
A 2010 PISA study showed American students scored 23rd in math and 31st in science when compared with 65 other top industrial countries, ranking lower than Lichtenstein, Slovakia, Estonia and Hungary.
The Science and Engineering Indicators of 2012, assembled by the National Science Board, showed improvements, but the gains do not suggest a complete turnaround. This data is especially worrisome considering the improvements American education will need to make. As Gray Construction notes, "around 1 million more professionals will be needed to fill STEM jobs over the next decade. To meet this demand, the U.S. will need to increase STEM-degreed graduates by some 34 percent — an unlikely feat given the U.S. is graduating fewer and fewer STEM professionals each year."
The "U.S. needs a manufacturing agenda," Jerry Jasinowski, former president of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and the Manufacturing Institute, wrote at U.S. News and World Report. "Talent is complementary to technology, but the kids coming out of our public schools are pathetically unqualified to work in modern manufacturing. The Germans and Japanese in particular have excellent programs for training bright young people to work with advanced manufacturing technologies. We have enough lawyers. We need more people who know how to make things."
How can the country's lawmakers, educators and manufacturers create this agenda?
Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama have endorsed initiatives to combat the problem. Among other efforts, President Bush signed into law the America COMPETES Act of 2007, which allocated more funding to science and technology education; in his 2013 budget, President Obama requested continued funding for the Effective Teaching and Learning: STEM program, the new name for the Mathematics and Science Partnership (MSP).
Other government efforts have not been so successful. The STEM Jobs bill, which attempted to attract foreign science workers, was rejected by the House of Representatives in late September.
Considering the mixed record of success from government-sponsored STEM education initiatives, many experts encourage manufacturers to become active in addressing the issue themselves.
Amy Kaslow, senior fellow of the Council on Competitiveness, outlined eight steps to close the skills gap in Manufacturing Exective. Her advice is no quick fix; rather, she enumerates a comprehensive, diverse path manufacturers must tread to successfully cross the gulf. One step is simply communicating the consequences of the skills gap. As manufacturing increases as a percentage of American GDP, so too does its role in guiding the country out of the recession. Properly articulating the threat of the skills gap to American workers today and tomorrow will make the industry more appealing to a wider number of job seekers.
"Once manufacturers become authorities on this narrative, they will position themselves as a compelling career choice," Kaslow argues.
Part of commanding this narrative involves rebranding manufacturing in the public mind. Citing Manufacturing Institute survey figures, Kaslow notes that "only 20 percent of American adults would advise their children to pursue manufacturing careers. Their bias is strong, their views distorted by old pictures of factory workers on the assembly line performing mind-numbing tasks." Changing this bias can be solved by direct outreach, such as opening a factory to the public.
Additionally, manufacturers can strengthen their alliances with education partners and demand results. Kaslow suggests firms should ensure their education partners:
- Perform effective entry assessments of students to determine the most realistic and effective career pathways;
- Expedite student connections to the job market with relevant coursework, certifications and just-in-time training offered in the classroom, offsite and online;
- Offer accredited programs that capture and cultivate student interest in STEM/manufacturing, and award post-secondary credits to high school students who work with mentors to learn entry-level trade skills;
- Enter into strategic partnerships with national and/or local industry that lead to well-informed curricula that reflect job market demands and offer access to an array of in-kind support, including teacher training, industry professionals and tradesmen/women as teacher and student mentors, simulators, facilities, work-study programs and internships; and
- Track and report metrics that show the correlations between field of study/mentoring/job placement/employability of graduates.
At IMTS in September, SME also revealed its six-point program to reverse the skilled workforce shortage and improve STEM education. The action plan advises stakeholders to focus on:
- Attracting more students into manufacturing;
- Articulating a standard core of manufacturing knowledge;
- Improving the consistency and quality of manufacturing education;
- Integrating manufacturing topics into STEM education;
- Developing faculty that deliver world-class manufacturing education; and
- Strategically deploying resources to accomplish these goals.
Co-produced by the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, Intl. (FMA); the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP); National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST); the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM); and the Manufacturing Institute, Manufacturing Day is a nationwide effort to encourage manufacturers to open their facilities to the public. Firms across the country will host educational sessions and factory tours for students, veterans, local government officials and other members of the local community.
"Manufacturing Day will be the 'coming out party' for U.S. manufacturers all across the nation," Ed Youdell, president and CEO of the FMA, said in a statement. "Oct. 5 is dedicated to celebrating the great work and innovation of the 12 million men and women who make the United States the world's largest manufacturing economy. FMA and MEP centers are encouraging their members and manufacturers to open their doors to their local school kids, community college students, press, and job seekers so that they can see firsthand the safe, high-tech and innovative work environments that await the best and brightest who pursue careers in manufacturing."
Manufacturing Day is just one effort to "control the narrative" of manufacturing and alleviate the threat posed by the skills gap. Increasing interest in STEM education will take a lot of effort and initiative on the part of the manufacturing community as a whole. What will your role be?

In 1947, we moved to a large house in Edgbaston, Birmingham, again with Mum as cook-housekeeper, Dad as chauffeur-gardener. Life in Birmingham gained new meaning for me in that it took on form and substance rather than a series of disjointed memories.
The house was a large redbrick Victorian detached house with a majestic front porch jutting onto a small gravel drive. The porch led into a large hall with sweeping steps up to a landing and bedrooms. Off the hall was a dining room, a drawing room and a huge library with a garden terrace through French windows. A green baize door behind the stairs led into the kitchen and butler's pantry and our private sitting room. On the first floor were three or four bedrooms, which I never got to see much. Our bedrooms and other spare bedrooms were on the second floor, together with some narrow stairs which led to several attics, a bit frightening for a timid seven-year-old.
The garden, at first, was a couple of acres running rectangular from the house, easily managed by my father, whose knowledge of gardening was, of necessity, increasing daily. I've often wondered how he managed to land the job of gardener as he'd had no formal training. Outside the library was a paved area and a lawn which sloped down to rose beds and herbaceous borders. There was a potting shed and a greenhouse to the side, with a vegetable garden. I spent a lot of time in the garden with Dad and it was from this time that my love of gardening was born. Later, the owner of the house bought some adjoining land, forming an L-shape with the original garden. This provided extra lawns, all manner of fruit trees and a huge lily-filled pond with a path around it. And there were lots of frogs; I didn't like them or the way they made you jump when you weren't aware they were there. A solitary child, the gardens were my playground and blessed with a vivid imagination, I played for hours beneath a crab apple tree surrounded by masses of red, orange and yellow nasturtiums. Even then, I made up stories and enacted them.
I remember Mr Barclay, the owner, as a pink and portly gentleman with thinning grey hair who spoke ponderously and precisely. Mum always said, with some affection, that he was a typical crusty old bachelor. He was a bit of a character too. As a result of an accident earlier, he had some trouble with his back and wore a surgical corset. He was in almost constant pain and probably to deaden this, he drank steadily throughout the day. As a consequence, he was always slightly befuddled. One evening, just after dinner, when Mum and Dad were clearing away, the phone rang.
It was the owner's sister. 'Good evening, Williams,' (male servants were always call by their surnames), she said. 'Is my brother there?'
'He's in the library, madam. I'll just get him for you,' said my father. The telephone, still rare then, was situated on a large sideboard in the hall next to some ornate candlesticks. Dad knocked on the door and went into the library. 'Your sister's on the phone, sir,' he said.
Mr Barclay was dozing in the chair, as he often was, a newspaper spread over his chest, a glass of whisky on the side table. 'Be right there, Williams.'
Some moments later, in the kitchen where they were washing up, Mum and Dad became aware of the silence. 'I don't think he's been on the phone yet,' Mum commented.
Dad wiped his hands on a nearby towel. 'I'll go and see.'
The receiver was still lying off its hook on the sideboard and first checking that Mr Barclay's sister was still holding on, he knocked on the door of the library. This time, at Dad's insistence and with some help, Mr Barclay rose and went into the hall. There, in the subdued lighting, he picked up one of the candlesticks, mistaking it for the telephone. 'Hello, hello?' Unable to get any response, he looked at it and began shaking it. 'Damned telephones!'
Dad gently took the candlestick from him and replaced it with the telephone receiver. In the kitchen, he collapsed into laughter and it took some moments for Mum to be able to understand what had happened.
I remember Mr Barclay as a kindly man who seemed to have a soft spot for me. I suppose now his conduct would be viewed as suspicious though it was all very innocent. Periodically, he'd call me into the library. He'd sit beside me on the piano stool and teach me the basic rudiments of playing the piano. It was at his insistence that I learned to play and I was allowed to practice, when he wasn't around of course, on the grand piano in the library until we obtained a second-hand piano of our own, which somewhat surprisingly, Mum managed to play by ear.
Or he'd talk to me about books. He loved his library, spending hours in there. Amazingly, he didn't mind me borrowing any of his books. By this time, I was a prodigious reader, reading anything I could get my hands on, which wasn't much because books were scarce during and just after the war. I was thrilled when Mr Barclay presented me with a book written and illustrated by a friend of his who wrote under the pseudonym of 'BB'. It was about the adventures of the last gnomes in England, the 'Little Grey Men' of the title. This was followed a year or so later with the sequel, 'Down The Bright Stream,' which he inscribed 'To Anne from E D Barclay, March 5th, 1949.' I loved those books, losing count of the times I read them. They're still on my bookshelves now, dog-eared but much treasured. I was to learn, 60 years later, that BB's real name was Denys Watkins-Pitchford, MBE (1905-1990).

Aqueduct: Dutrow's pair packs 1-2 punch in Friday optional claimer
OZONE PARK, N.Y. – There is no bigger proponent of Aqueduct's main track than trainer Richard Dutrow Jr. Despite the fact he won with 38 percent of his starters during the inner track meet, Dutrow was probably elated when NYRA moved up the opening of the main track to Wednesday, two weeks earlier than scheduled.
That's especially true when it pertains to Groomedforvictory, who heads a Dutrow-trained uncoupled entry in Friday's $71,000 optional claiming race going one mile. Groomedforvictory is one of four horses entered for the $75,000 claiming price – including the other Dutrow-trainee Star of New York. Joe Vann, last year's Illinois Derby winner, is the only horse entered for the third-level allowance condition.
Groomedforvictory has an affinity for the one-turn mile. Since November 2010, Groomedforvictory has three wins and a head loss to Apriority in races run around one turn. Overall, he has a 4-2-0 record from 7 starts over the main track.
Dutrow claimed Groomedforvictory for $62,500 out of a one-turn mile victory on Feb. 12, 2011, at Gulfstream. After a nine-month layoff, Groomedforvictory came back and won a New York-bred overnight stakes by a head going a one-turn mile over the main track.
Groomedforvictory made his next two starts over the inner track, finishing third in the Alex Robb on New Year's Eve and last of six behind Stormy's Majesty in the Mr. G.J.G. on Feb. 12. Dutrow had Ramon Dominguez named to ride Groomedforvictory, but he is injured and will not ride this week. Dutrow said he planned to name C. C. Lopez on Groomedforvictory, who is likely to be forwardly placed from the rail.
Dutrow's other entrant, Star of New York, will likely be coming from off the pace under Cornelio Velasquez from the outside post. He finished third in the Mr. G.J.G. Stakes. Star of New York has a 1-4-2 record from 8 starts over the main track.
"I think he's going to run big," Dutrow said of Star of New York. "If Groomedforvictory doesn't fire, I think Star of New York will."
Manteca makes his second start off a layoff and first since David Jacobson claimed him for $50,000 on March 3. Manteca finished second to Tech Fall in that race after setting the pace. He finished 5 3/4 lengths ahead of the rest of the field.
"We look for a good race from him," Jacobson said. "We haven't had him that long. When you claim a horse and they run good, that's always a plus."
Joe Vann finished fourth in a similar spot as this when he returned from a six-month layoff. His connections expected him to need the race and are expecting a better showing Friday.
Sun Dance Moon, who went winless in five starts over the inner track during the winter, should appreciate returning to the main track where he is 2 for 2.

Well, I've got to get on with SOMETHING!
December seemed to be full of interuptions, last minute requests that I can't say "No" to, and generally messing about.
So far January has not been much better - BUT - though I had planned a sewing day on Wednesday, Mr T decided that he was going to tidy the loft!
Now don't get me wrong, my man is a gem. Very laid back, helps out loads with the domestic stuff, and lets me get away with murder, but his idea of tidying will be to move stuff from one side to the other.
So off up into the loft I went with him and two hours later, it's almost done, and dear hubby looking like he had been hit by a wet fish! One trip to the tip, and one to the Charity shop and we have cleared all of our ..... why do we keep stuff .. stuff.
A small section needs to be viewed by the "children" and then I can happily say that what is up there will be used again ( Christmas decs and Suitcases)
So now we are at Thursday and so I went straight into my little sewing room and started sorting fabrics (from my scraps - why do they never seem to diminish?)
Mini Mania, I don't need much fabric, but I had sorted some half square triangles that had been left over from previous Mini makes so decided to go with them. My maths brain was still obviously laying on my pillow, because I had anticipated the blocks finishing at 3"
I whizzed up some 1/4 square triangles but sewed the last row onto the wrong side! Stupid! So unpick and re sew but this time the wrong way round. Unpick and re sew. WRONG AGAIN!! Fourth time lucky
little group, and I know that she has started her so an extra one to see this time. Still time to join in if you are interested.
After the disappointment of how my first "swap" went ( people not generally joining in with the communication and then dropping out at the last minute so having been given a third partner my bag went off LAST in the group, though it had been finished for over 5 months) - well I was asked by a different Instagram friend, to join in the Totes Amaze-balls swap. So I have.
I am using Noodlehead's Cross Body Bag pattern but wanted to increase the size a bit but when I went to my printer (that had worked perfectly the previous day) it would not print anything black! 6 hours later I was still messing about with it but it has died. Just one day after I had put £60 worth of new ink cartridges in it! Long story later - I have a new (to me) printer that needs the same cartridges so was able to print of the pattern pieces 20% larger, and actually cut my fabric!
Our first "check in" is at the end of January, and I am hoping that my bag will be done by then.
I must remember to take some progress pics as we have two more "check ins" and the final bag is to be posted off in May.
On the crochet front, the blanket that I am making has grown significantly and is quite cosy to work on now that the evenings are feeling colder. I am over half way I think, and seem to be getting a bit quicker.

Getting On With It
4 comments:
I too, am working on my mini mania and my triangles are too big so back to my, literally, graph paper to re-measure! this hard going!!ReplyDelete
You have been busy. Love the look of the mini quilt, and your blanket is growing so quickly, should be finished before the next crochet meet up 😅.ReplyDelete
Great projects! I can't wait to see your tiny sampler! And good luck with your next swap. I had a great partner and got a great package from the Around the World Swap, but I'm in two new swaps and neither of the ladies I'm sewing for post very often. It's not as much fun to sew for them. :-(ReplyDelete

For decades, the U.S. government has subsidized homeownership -- via FHA insurance, the mortgage interest deduction, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and many other programs. The resulting overinvestment in residential real estate is a major cause of the current crisis. Yet, in trying to cope with the crisis, Washington is pouring on more housing subsidies, thus deepening the federal commitment to the old strategy and making it harder to move to a new one.
Don't get me wrong: By encouraging thrift, self-reliance and neighborliness, individual homeownership can benefit society. Government support was, therefore, a wise investment. But homeownership is not for everyone -- it can't be. Transient young people don't need or want mortgages and maintenance; ditto the frail elderly. More broadly, there are some people who just can't afford it.
Yet politicians of both parties have pretended otherwise. As of 1993, the homeownership rate was a healthy 64 percent of all households. President Clinton, though, decreed that it should set a new record by the year 2000; he ordered the FHA, Fannie and Freddie, and the rest of the government to make it happen. Clinton hit his goal, only to be topped under the Bush administration's "ownership society," when the rate peaked at 69.2 percent.
As we all know, these gains proved unsustainable: Many unqualified buyers got mortgages and lost their homes when prices, inevitably, came back down to earth. In that sense, excessive support for homeownership actually harmed intended beneficiaries and destroyed neighborhoods.
Read the whole thing. Our government officials never seem to learn from the failed policies of the past. Their solution is just more of the same.

I wonder how many of the protestors are having second thoughts now? I know several people who are doing the "peace" thing, and they certainly would not support bin Laden or any call for revolution.
I think the organizers have misled a whole bunch of people as to what their real agenda is.
Anyone advocating a change of the US government by
unconstitutional means is subject to arrest a prosecution.
I hope the Justice Department was listening.

Reading Aztec Blood, by Gary Jennings. Before this he read Aztec, by the same author. No further questions. He was running to get on his train.
The author bio's is amazing--in researching his books he has, to plagiarize the website, "faithfully duplicated the travels of his hero, Marco Polo....and traveled with a circus troupe."

|Avian articular cartilage : effects of age, genotype and disease
|Anderson-MacKenzie, Janet Melanie

|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
The degradation of articular cartilage, causing degenerative joint disease (DJD), is a documented cause of lameness in broiler strain fowl, which is a major welfare problem. Broiler strain fowl are both heavier and more susceptible to DJD than laying strain fowl. In this thesis the biochemical and morphological basis for this susceptibility has been investigated, particular attention has been paid to the effects of body weight and genotype on avian articular cartilage. Articular cartilage from three distinct sites was analysed. Samples from mature broiler strain females, susceptible to DJD, had higher hydration and uronic acid content than age matched, non-susceptible, laying strain fowl. In addition to these biochemical features (also seen in mammalian DJD), broiler strain fowl exhibited DJD histopathology including cartilage thinning and chondrocyte cluster formation. In general, both strains at one day old showed no significant biochemical differences between the articular cartilage sites sampled. However the cartilage from the broiler strain distal tibiotarsus (DTT) at one day old appeared to be biochemically and morphologically distinct from the cartilage of the layer strain DTT and from the other broiler strain joint surface of the same age. Production of an infectious arthritis by inoculation of mycoplasma into the tibiotarsal joint of broiler strain fowl resulted in variable biochemistry of articular cartilage form this joint. However, in the non-injected, contralateral joint, sampled from the DTT, there was an increase in hydration and uronic acid content which is dependent upon the degree of lameness. This indicates the importance of in vivo loading in the biochemical composition of avian articular cartilage. Broiler strain birds fed ad libitum, feed restricted and J-line (wild type) were surveyed over the course of one year. Only the ad libitum fed birds developed overt DJD, which suggests that the mass of bird, and not an overriding genetic element, is the major cause of the susceptibility of broiler strain fowl to DJD. The joint surface which presented the first and most severe signs indicative of early cartilage degeneration was the DTT. The biochemical results obtained from articular cartilage samples of the three groups include hydration, uronic acid, DNA and hydroxyproline content.

Applegate Farms brand since they have no added nitrites or nitrates. I think any kind of smoked sausage would work fine or whatever healthier option you prefer. We almost never eat this type of meat so I went with a low-sodium smoked turkey sausage. I am, however, holding on to an Andrew Zimmerman Borscht recipe but it takes 4 hours. BUT it has short ribs instead of polish sausage so I'd say it's worth the time. I'll probably try that one for my Russian Olympic dinner.
here for the full recipe and instructions.

I'm pretty obsessed with comedy now-a-days. I've always liked comedy of course, but lately I've been watching a lot of comedy shows. If a movie, book, or tv show isn't funny then I probably won't be too interested. There are very few exceptions where I like something that isn't comedy at all (The Walking Dead is an example, I talked about that show in a recent post).
Netflix is a prime spot to find a good comedian to watch. There's hours upon hours of comedian stand up shows on Netflix, so the one's I'm about to name are the one's that I've watched so far that have kept me laughing for ages. Just a warning to everyone, I am a college kid so of course I find humor in very weird and crude things.
Here's the very long list of my favorites:
Anthony Jeselnik Thoughts and Prayers
- Aziz Ansari
- Live at Madison Square Garden
- Do you own a smart phone? You may be callous and a rude flake. At least according to Aziz Ansari.
- Buried Alive
"Parks and Recreation" star Aziz Ansari takes the stage to share his unfiltered views on adulthood, babies, marriage, love, and more in the modern era.
- Dangerously Delicious
Aziz Ansari channels his crude side in his 2012 special, taking on topics like watching porn and the struggles of dating in New York City.
- Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening
Red-hot actor and stand-up comedian Aziz Ansari offers up an uncensored routine to a full house, including his foulmouthed hip-hop persona, Randy.
- Live at Madison Square Garden
- Anthony Jeselnik Thoughts and Prayers
There's no subject too dark as this comedian skewers taboos and riffs on national tragedies before pulling back the curtain on his provocative style.
- Leslie Jones Problem Child
- Irreverent comedian Leslie Jones-aka "Big Les"-leaves audiences howling with laughter as she performs her raunchy style of stand-up.
- Kevin Hart
- Laugh at My Pain
- All riiight. Kevin Hart airs out his family's dirty laundry, childhood issues, and his dad's aversion to underwear.
- Seriously Funny
- With his unique hip-hop style delivery, African American stand-up comedian Kevin Hart expounds on life at a sold-out concert performance.
- I'm a Grown Little Man
- Stand-up comedy star Kevin Hart delivers his unique perspective on work, race, family, and friends, with his laugh-riot comedy show.
- Laugh at My Pain
- Chelsea Peretti One of the Greats
- "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star Chelsea Peretti showcases her diverse talents in this dark yet silly reimagining of the comedy special.
- Women Who Kill
- Top comedians Amy Schumer, Rachel Feinstein, Nikki Glaser, and Marina Franklin join up in New York City for one hilarious nigh of stand up comedy.
and finally my all time favorite comedian Bo Burnham with his show What. Left brain and right brain duke it out-and ultimately belt out a melody-in stand-up comedian Bo Burnham's quick and clever one-man show.
I've watched Bo Burnham's show an uncountable amount of times. His show is really unique because of all the songs he writes and performs during it. I can sing along to all the songs, and even though I know the ending to all the jokes I still can't stop laughing.
Bo Burnham has also released a very funny book called Egghead or. You Can't Survive on Ideas Alone. It's filled with pages and pages of stupid and funny jokes.
An example of one of these stupid jokes is called "Cyclops"…
So if you thought that joke was funny or just stupid then you'll like this book. There's also some crude humor. Actually, it's more like a lot of crude humor. Which I find great but like I said in the beginning, I find that kind of stuff funny. So if you get offended easily then this might not be the book for you.
Believe it or not, there's actually some nice poems in Egghead as well. Here are just two examples, I don't want to ruin the whole book for you…
I even had the absolute pleasure to see him perform his new show called Happy live in September. I had bought tickets to this show during the summer, and it was something that I was looking forward to for such a long time. I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life before. I recommend checking out his website to learn more about him. His website is pretty cool as well. He posts pictures he's taken and writes about things he likes and hates.

Si usted siente que después de las elecciones pasadas son los pacientes los que dirigen el manicomio, créame, no es el único.

If you feel that after the last election the inmates are running the asylum, you are not alone. The main lunatic seems to be the president himself, who last week in Miami showed once again that his concept (or his grasp) of reality does not go beyond, well, very bad "reality shows."

We all know that hydration is critical to good health.
Being well hydrated actually helps you look good and feel better!
Vulnerable groups, particularly the very young and the elderly often suffer most from the effects of dehydration. In the elderly there is a real danger that some of the effects of dehydration, such as lethargy, joint pain and disorientation, could just be put down to 'old age'. In the very young, irritability, eating disorders, poor concentration can all be exacerbated by being dehydrated.
We believe that the provision of good drinking water, readily accessible and where the drinking of which is actively encouraged, is one of most important contributions we can make to the health and wellbeing of our most vulnerable.
The range of coolers we provide to schools, hospitals and care homes are all supplied with careful consideration. We will add additional levels of filtration and sterilisation where appropriate, and give our best advice with regard to specifications, installation, maintenance and hygiene.
How much water should you drink?
A lot of research has been done to try to answer this question. The average person will lose about 2.5 litres of water everyday but we get 1 litre of the fluid we need from food. Therefore an average person would need to replace about 1.2 litres every day (hence the 8 x 150ml glasses of water per day).
But, most of us are not 'average', and our levels of activity can vary considerably, along with other factors that influence water need. The key is to drink little and often, interspersed with a good few 'gulps' from time to time, particularly if exercising.
If you are one of those individuals who find water 'boring', consider this – your body will actually adapt so that the thirst response becomes more sensitive and your enjoyment of drinking water will increase.

Carrying body and soul and embracing the one,
Can you avoid separation?
Attending fully and becoming supple,
Can you be as a newborn babe?
Washing and cleansing the primal vision,
Can you be without stain?
Loving the people and ruling the country,
Can you be without cleverness?
Opening and closing the gates of heaven,
Can you play the role of woman?
Understanding and being open to all things,
Are you able to do nothing?
Giving birth and nourishing,
Bearing yet not possessing,
Working yet not taking credit,
Leading yet not dominating,
This is the Primal Virtue.

One of the main accused of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi may be released soon, as the Islamabad High Court suspended his detention notification on Monday.
Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Lakhvi, 54, will be set free from the jail as soon as a written order is issued confirming cancellation of his detention orders.
This order follows Lakhvi's bail permission approved by Islamabad Anti-Terrorism Court Judge Kausar Abbas Zaidi. On 18 December, Zaidi granted bail to 26/11 accused saying there is not enough evidence to support his involvement in the Mumbai terror attacks.
However, Pakistan government detained him for three more months under Public Maintenance Order in Adiala Jail, thus barring his release.
After the Pakistan government rejected his bail plea, Lakhvi's counsel Raja Rizwan Abbasi filed a plea challenging the detention orders under a public security order in the high court on Friday.
In the plea, Abbasi claimed that "legal requirements were not fulfilled in the detention of Lakhvi. Besides, the legal grounds the government had cited in the matter were not maintainable," The Times of India reported.
The anti-terror court's approval of the bail plea earlier drew flak from the Indian government and the decision was criticised as the order came days after Taliban's attack on a Peshawar Army school where at least 132 children were killed.

Assessing human exposure to toxic metals and their potential health effects has recently come to the forefront of public concern with frequent stories in the media of elevated metals in many products including fish, vaccines, and toys, and in some occupational and residential environments. An ever-increasing demand for definitive answers has prompted body burden studies across the country.
Metal speciation in biomonitoring has been gaining significance because a metal's valence state or the metallic compound frequently dictates its availability for uptake into the human body and the subsequent potential for deleterious effects.
For more than a decade, Brooks Applied Labs has been providing services for analytical method development and specialized analyses for trace metals and metal species in a variety of human tissues and fluids including:
- blood
- urine
- hair
- teeth
Over the years, Brooks Applied Labs has developed a number of analytical methods to overcome the common issues and interferences normally associated with analyzing these complex matrices. The laboratory staff at Brooks Applied Labs is also fully trained in the safe handling of potentially infectious materials.

Biomonitoring Public Projects
Brooks Applied Labs' specialized metals analytical expertise in this area has been valuable to lawyers for litigation cases, university researchers, and non-profit organizations for public awareness campaigns. Some examples of public, non-confidential projects that Brooks Applied Labs has been involved in include:
Pollution in People Study
Brooks Applied Labs analyzed hair samples for mercury for the Washington Toxics Coalition for their "Pollution in People Study", a look at contaminant levels in people from Washington State.
Body of Evidence Study
Brooks Applied Labs analyzed methyl mercury in hair, lead in blood, and arsenic species in urine samples from Maine residents for the Alliance for a Clean and Healthy Maine and their study "Body of Evidence: A Study of Pollution in Maine People".
Method Related Work
BAL also has a number of studies that have been funded internally with the goal of developing new methods and improving existing methods for the accurate and precise quantification of low-level trace metals in urine, hair, and blood samples. BAL had published and/or presented the following work related to the methods that are proposed for metals analysis in hair, urine and blood samples:
A Comparative Study of Analytical Methods for the Determination of Trace Metals in Blood using ICP-MS
The focus of this study was to determine a simple and precise technique for the analysis of multiple trace elements in whole blood.

Optimization of an Analytical Method for the Determination of Trace Levels of Cr, Ni, Fe, and V in Urine Samples Using ICP-DRC-MS
Urine samples from individuals known to be occupationally exposed to particulate metal fumes were analyzed with methods developed by Brooks Applied Labs and optimized to provide accurate and quantifiable results at low parts-per-trillion concentrations.

Nissan Motor Co. (7201.T: Quote, Profile, Research) will begin selling partner Renault SA's (RENA.PA: Quote, Profile, Research) Logan cars under its own badge in Mexico soon, a source familiar with the matter said on Thursday, marking the first foray into the ultra-low-cost segment for the Japanese automaker.
The car would be built by Renault in Brazil and exported to Mexico with a Nissan badge, the source said.
A spokesman for Japan's third-biggest automaker confirmed that Nissan would announce a new product for the Mexican market this week, but declined to go into details.
Intended for emerging markets such as India and Russia, the Logan concept has become a hit even in mature European markets, prompting rivals such as Toyota Motor Corp. (7203.T: Quote, Profile, Research) and Volkswagen AG (VOWG.DE: Quote, Profile, Research) to try and follow suit.
France's Renault, which owns 44 percent of Nissan, has said the next model of the no-frills Logan would be launched in Brazil towards the end of this year. The Commitment 2009 plan for Renault, which aims to boost sales volumes and increase its profit margin to 6 percent by 2009, includes the launch of 26 new vehicles, and five of these would be Logans, a Renault executive told Reuters last month. Originally built in Romania, the Logan is also produced now in Russia, Morocco, Colombia, India and Iran. Globally, Renault aims to boost the Logan's production capacity to about 1 million units by 2009.
Nissan's sales in Mexico fell 2.8 percent in 2006 to around 228,000 units.
Nissan and Renault share several vehicle platforms and build vehicles for each other around the world. In Mexico, Nissan manufactures the Renault Clio at its Aguascalientes plant, along with its own Sentra and Versa models.
