Why We Were Right To Like Ike
Thirty years after judging Eisenhower to be among our worst Presidents, historians have now come around to the opinion most of their fellow Americans held right along.
December 1985 | Volume 37, Issue 1
But while many recent historians have portrayed Eisenhower as a dove, a pioneer of détente, there are dissenters. Peter Lyon argued in his 1974 Eisenhower biography that the President's 1953 inaugural address was a "clarion" that "called to war," and that the general was a hawkish militarist. In her 1981 study The Declassified Eisenhower, Blanche Wiesen Cook says that Eisenhower used the CIA to launch a "thorough and ambitious anti-Communist crusade" that toppled governments on three continents.
Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., who had previously described Eisenhower as a weak, passive, and politically naïve executive, asserted in his 1973 book The Imperial Presidency that Ike went overboard in his use of presidential powers by introducing claims for "executive privilege" in denying government documents to Sen. Joseph McCarthy and by also approving the buildup of the CIA. Even so, Schlesinger now ranks Eisenhower with Truman and his former White House boss, John F. Kennedy, as the successful Presidents of the postwar era.
Another Eisenhower critic, William Leuchtenburg, insists that Ike was not so different from his more obviously hawkish successors. He points to Eisenhower's covert intervention in Iran and Guatemala, his threats to use nuclear weapons in Korea, and his war of words with China over the islands of Quemoy and Ma-tsu. Leuchtenburg also blames Eisenhower for neglecting major public issues, especially in the field of civil rights, "at a considerable cost." Even so, Schlesinger and Leuchtenburg both concede that Eisenhower was much more of a hands-on executive than was realized during his administration.
The records of the Eisenhower administration have ended the myth that the old soldier left foreign policy to his influential secretary of state, John Foster Dulles. A leading Eisenhower revisionist, Fred I. Greenstein, reported in his 1982 study The Hidden-Hand Presidency that Ike made the decisions and DuIles carried them out. Greenstein said that it was Eisenhower's international political strategy to be the champion of peace in his public statements, while his secretary of state acted as a Cold Warrior. Dulles once claimed that he, as secretary of state, had ended the Korean War by threatening the use of atomic weapons. But the diplomatic historian Robert A. Divine wrote in Eisenhower and the Cold War (1981) that Dulles had exaggerated his role. "It was Eisenhower, in his own characteristically quiet and effective way, who had used the threat of American nuclear power to compel China to end its intervention in the Korean conflict. …"
Eisenhower's decision not to intervene militarily in Vietnam is described by some revisionists as his finest hour. Nine years later Eisenhower explained in a private memorandum that he had not wanted to tarnish the image of the United States as the world's foremost anticolonial power. "It is essential to our position of leadership in a world wherein the majority of the nations have at some time or another felt the yoke of colonialism. Thus it is that the moral position of the United States was more to be guarded than the Tonkin Delta, indeed than all of Indochina."
Largely because of his White House staff structure and the authority that he delegated to ranking subordinates, Eisenhower was often characterized as a disengaged President. His chief of staff, Sherman Adams, wielded more power than any White House adviser since FDR's Harry Hopkins, and a popular joke of the fifties had the punch line: "What if Sherman Adams died and Ike became President?" But the memoirs of Adams, Richard M. Nixon, Henry Cabot Lodge, Hagerty, Emmet John Hughes, Milton and John Eisenhower have shown a President firmly in command.
Eisenhower's uneasy relationship with Nixon has also been distorted by some revisionist scholars. While Ike and Nixon were never close, some historians have demonstrated political naïveté in accepting Eisenhower's private criticism of his Vice-President at face value. If Eisenhower held such strong reservations about Nixon as they have suggested, it is unlikely that he would have retained him on the ticket in 1956 and supported him for the Presidency in 1960 and 1968. Eisenhower did not share Nixon's zest for Republican partisanship, but he considered him a loyal and capable Vice-President. Had one of Ike's personal favorites, such as his brother Milton or Treasury Secretary Robert Anderson, emerged as a potential heir, there is evidence that Eisenhower might have supported them over Nixon. But Ike definitely preferred his Vice-Président over Nelson Rockefeller and Barry Goldwater.

#1 Budget Deal Reached, Republicans Get Nothing10-16-2013, 01:31 PM
Not surprising: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013...-cancels-vote/
Back pay for furloughed workers(in other words a free paid vacation), raising the debt ceiling until 2/7/14, no provisions for Obamacare except income verification for those getting subsidies. That's the bare bones of it but once again the GOP is showing why their party is dead.Deplorably Proud To Be An American

10-16-2013, 02:27 PMIf it's any consolation at at all, I now know how it feels for a welfare queen who doesn't want to work to be stealing from my pocketbook. That's exactly what I've felt about Obama and Congress this past two weeks, like it was theft.
It does look like they're be making extra sure that those who receive substidies actually need them.
Look at it another way. If it's implemented in 2014 and it's as horrible as Republicans say it's going to be, then the Democrat's ass is grass come November.
No, because the attack dogs in Obama's media will go out of their way to blame Republicans and the brain dead voters will believe them and vote Democrat. It's the same old song and dance. Obama got re-elected even though he had the worst record since Carter. People don't care, all they want is free stuff and that's what they're voting for.

Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!
This amazes me Ody but it doesn't shock me. It absolutely amazes me how often the GOP shoots themselves in the foot. Democrats don't have to do anything, the GOP is doing all the work. Someone on Fox News was right when they said that had the government not been shut down, the headlines on every newspaper would have been what a clusterfuck Obamacare is and the willful media wouldn't be able to hide from it. This country is doomed and the GOP is piloting the ship.

Why didn't the GOP just kept going? We could've have won...
We're from Philadelphia, We Fight- Chip Kelly
They would have had to have been opposed to what the Democrats are doing for that to have taken place, only a handful of Republicans are seriously against raising the debt ceiling and funding Obamacare fully.
We have a one party system complete with a false party who's only job is to resist just enough to fool the population into believing it is a 2 party system.Pffffffffffffffffffffff! Buh Bye Big Ears
The Democrats know who they are, the Republicans are whatever they are told to be for however long need be.

Devils add size to blueline at 2009 Draft
by Eric Marin / New Jersey DevilsGelinas has big-time size to go with his scoring touch from the blueline. |
Having taken added center Jacob Josefson in Friday's first round, New Jersey grabbed Eric Gelinas (6-4, 185 lbs.) with the 54th pick; Alexander Urbom (6-3, 196 lbs.) with the 73rd; and Seth Helgeson (6-5, 220 lbs.) with the 114th.
Left wings Derek Rodwell (5th, 144th overall) and Ashton Bernard (6th, 174th overall); and defenseman Curtis Gedig (7th, 204th overall) rounded out New Jersey's selections.
Gelinas was Lewiston's (QMJHL) top defensive scorer last year with 10 goals and 29 assists. A skilled player who said he watches a lot of Montreal's Andrei Markov, Gelinas has size and scoring touch.
"He is one of the most consistent players I have ever coached. He's a smart kid who is always ready to learn," said Lewiston head coach Don MacAdam.
Some promising signs: Gelinas grew two inches from the start of the season, and height runs in the family. His 6-8 father once played in the Pittsburgh Pirates system, and Eric's 6-4 older brother Karl is a pitcher in the Los Angeles Angels farm system.
Gelinas' said his biggest assets are his skating, shooting and vision. He'd like to work on his toughness and looks up to Chris Pronger: "He's probably meaner than I am," Gelinas said. "I'm more of a skilled player."
He's never been to New Jersey, but respects the Devils' winning reputation.
"I know that they're in the playoffs every year, and they're pretty solid," Gelinas said. "It's a pretty good organization and a good thing for me."
Urbom played 28 games with Djurgarden (Swe.) where he was Josefson's teammate last season, and was ranked 21st out of all European skaters. In two seasons with Djurgarden's junior team, the Stockholm native had eight goals and 14 assists in 55 games.
Helgeson hails from Zach Parise's hometown of Faribault, Minn., but plays a completely different game from the Devils' leading scorer. Helgeson said Saturday he's a defensive defenseman that keeps it simple, comparing himself to Matt Greene of the Kings.
He's seen former Gopher and current Devil Paul Martin working out at the Minnesota campus, and knows just how much work goes into becoming an effective NHLer.
Helgeson |
Helgeson had four goals and 12 assists in 58 games last season with the Musketeers.
Rodwell, who's listed at 6-1, 190 lbs., has committed to North Dakota for next season. The native of Taber, Alberta, notched 17 goals (7 PPG) and 12 assists in 41 games with the Okotoks Oilers of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.
"Derek is a quiet, sincere, dedicated team player, who has matured into one of the best power forwards in Canadian Junior 'A' hockey," said Okotoks GM/Head Coach Dan MacDonald. "His continued development will most assuredly see him playing at the highest level of hockey."
Bernard is bruising 6-4, 194-lb. left wing who racked up 111 penalty minutes in 53 games last year with Shawinigan (QMJHL). He set a career high 209 penalty minutes the previous season, when he played 26 games with Rouyn-Noranda before being dealt to Shawinigan.
Shawinigan traded the Eskasoni, Nova Scotia native to Cape Breton on June 5.
Gedig, New Jersey's final pick in the Draft, is a 6-3, 190-lb. blueliner from the Cowichan Valley Capitals of the British Columbia Hockey League. The Kelowna, British Columbia native posted four goals and 14 assists over 46 games split last season between Cowichan Valley and the Merritt Centennials.
Devils center Travis Zajac (Salmon Arm) was also a BCHL product.

Tebow no no no. Let him stay in Denver Sanchez 10x better.
If you're paying attention you know that the Bills game was close because our defense sucks. Our QB isn't the big worry. The OL and the running game and the offensive coordinator have crippled the kid.
Call me a low standards Mets fan when I start defending the defense, the OC, or the head coach. Not when I defend the quarterback. In one of his most average games he had 4 TD's and a 50% completion rate. I see nothing but upside for a QB who just turned 25, played in 6 playoff games, won 4 of them, and bounces back in seconds from disasters that would have had weaker men curled up in a little ball.

Remember when Miami was running the Wildcat like crazy? Remember how teams struggled to stop it? Now, they've caught up to it and it's a useless gimmick again like it always used to be. Teams will catch up to Tebow also. He's not that good, and soon we'll see defenses figure him out and he'll be on the bench. He's just not good enough to keep teams honest. Tebow's not winning, that crazy defense is winning the games. No one can score on them. They're a pretty sick defense right now.
I'm down on our entire offense, very disappointed in them.
But not the quarterback.
The OL is filled with beefy veterans with past success.
The RB position has established veteran talent with past success.
The WR position has established veteran talent with much past success.
The TE position is occupied with veteran talent with known suspect blocking ability.
The OC role is occupied by a massive failure.
The QB is dependent upon all these other groups to play well. If we're playing chicken-and-egg here, I say that these other offensive personnel have let us down far, far more than our 25 year old quarterback has. Our OL, RB, WR, and TE's have been in the league a long time, no excuse for their horrific play.
The O has its issues, but the D spends a lot of time on the field during the course of the game because the D can't get off it.
It's not the O's fault when the D gives up 3rd down conversion after 3rd down conversion. The D got eaten alive by Fitz on 3rd down. The Jets D stopped the Broncos on 3rd down for 55 minutes and then allowed every 3rd down conversion on the final 95 yd drive.
Those 3 & outs you mentioned happened over a span of 2 games. What is the D's excuse for the other 9 games?
The Jets have a minimal pass rush and the worst Safety tandem in the NFL. That has nothing to do with getting worn down.
I think Tebow is awful but the one thing I agree with the OP is this team lacks identity. Denver has become a tough team simply because they have to be. The D knows they have to stop the other team cold, the O knows they are going to run the ball. When the OL and the D have one mission the team has a clear smash mouth identity.
The Jets had that identity in 09 and to a lesser extent last year. It's even less this year as we have a finese short passing game combined with a bend don't break D.
The Jets don't need Tebow but they do need to be a tough punishing team and we really aren't all that this year.
This thread is a joke
Our offense would go from middle of the pack to bottom 3 in the league
I hate tebow, and would never want him on my team. But I thought it would be a good conversation for the board.
When u take away the sideshow the broncos are the 2010 jets. They ground and pound and play good defense. They beat a team with only a handful of pass attempts the entire game just running the ball. That's rex's dream.
In terms of being a fraud, I thought so to until they beat us. There gameplan will keep them in every game the way we used to do it. Altho I don't want tebow, it's certainly a good topic. They went from one of the worst teams in the league, and now are better then us

A Shreveport teen is the city's latest murder victim, and a suspect is behind bars.
Police found the victim with a gunshot wound to the stomach in the 800 block of Turner Lane in the Cedar Grove section of Shreveport.
17-year-old Demarcus Jones was reportedly shot Thursday night while visiting friends at the home.
On Friday night, 17-year-old Almetric Curry of Shreveport, accompanied by members of his family, arrived at Shreveport Police headquarters and surrendered to authorities without incident. Detectives with the Shreveport Police Department's Violent Crimes Unit were able to gather information linking Curry with Jones' death.
Following interviews with investigators, Curry was subsequently booked into the Shreveport City Jail, where he was charged with a single count of negligent homicide.
"My heart dropped. We didn't know what had happened," said Roshanda Caldwell, Jones' aunt.
Not only is the family feeling grief from the loss, they're also feeling confused, as they try to understand exactly what happened, and what led up to the incident that took the teen's life. Some family members say they've been told by witnesses it was an accident. Other family members were told that the shooting followed a dispute.
Witnesses tell police they heard one gunshot then heard Jones say he'd been shot.
His family tells KSLA News 12 they left the hospital around 4 a.m. and spent the entire morning searching for answers and talking to Jones' friends who were at the house at the time of the incident.
"We want the God's honest truth to come out because our boy was a sweet boy, he wasn't a bad guy. He was very loving of his nieces and to his family and it's just heart wrenching," said Caldwell.
Anyone with any additional information on this case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 318-673-7373.

To the Editor:
I have obtained a copy of the questions used in the poll regarding the location of a new hospital. The first 45 questions inquire about a person's attitude towards the hospital and I would state that they appear neutral; however, the real issue starts prior to question 46.
"Information" given prior to the next question states that: "The first option is a partial replacement hospital at the current location. No tax increase would be necessary because the hospital has the financial resources necessary to pay for construction. Russell Street by the hospital would be permanently closed. The new facility would be about the same size as the current hospital but built to make medical services more efficient and modern. The facility would be designed for future expansion."
This "information" boldly states that no taxes would be needed to build the hospital if built at the current location. This tactic is called setting up the question. After a couple of questions are asked, additional "information" is offered: "Another option is to build a completely new hospital at a different location. The cost of this project would be approximately $2 to $3 million more than the cost of the partial replacement at the current location. In order to secure the additional $2 to $3 million, a property tax increase will be required. The new hospital facility would be designed for future expansion."
This is the hammer for the next few questions giving the subject a choice of building at the current location with no new taxes or building somewhere else with a tax increase. No questions were ever put forth about building on the current location with a tax increase or building at another location with no tax increase. Was this a neutral poll? I leave it to you to decide, as for myself, I think NOT. It will be interesting to see how the TMH board uses this poll. I do not believe that anyone who understands the way this poll was conducted regarding a new hospital location would give it any credence or would be manipulated by the alleged results. Of course it was the TMH board who retained Dan Jones & Associates to conduct the poll and obviously the purpose was to attempt to show community support to build a hospital at its current location. If the TMH board must resort to using threatening poll questions to obtain an alleged showing of community support then I propose that it shows that the TMH board itself feels that it does not have community support to build the hospital at the current location.
Very truly yours,
Kenneth L. Hall

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.33 / 5.00 6,282 ViewsMy second version of this game now comes with improved graphics and sound. Enjoy with toast and a cup of tea.
Pretty solid.
You have produced a fairly solid game here. I was a little disappointed by the lack of complexity in the levels. Apart from having moe than one overflow pipe, the levels really didn't get any more complicated than level 2. Adding some different pipe types (like warps, for instance) or bonuses to have the water collect would have made a big difference in the game.
I am very happy to see that this game did not employ the old "hurry up and give the water a path" technique. Still, I think there is lots of room for improvement.
Nice work on the pipes, by the way. They look great. The moving mask to show the "watered" pipes needs a little tweaking, but the graphics are clean.
level 4 was the hardest in the game, yet we still managed to make it to the end!
We spent well over an hour playing it, and so were dissapointed by the dull ending.
would fireworks be too much to ask?
anyway, great game, we completed it, all you who can't...YOU SUCK!
Good ol' pipedream.
@Aloneinthedark: It's Pipedream. I still have it around.
I like the game though. :)
I found the game damn easy! I completed all the levels except 4 and 24 within 30 seconds. I used to play this game alot when i was young only then it was called 'pipelines'. Or was it 'pipedream'.... I cant remember anymore. I used to play it with my dad, man those were fun times.

10 Best Musical Performances In Non-Musical Movies
- By
- 37 Comments
Inside Llewyn Davis, the new film from wunderkind filmmaker siblings Joel and Ethan Coen, is defined in part by artistic struggle, personal grief, and a bleak, wintry backdrop. It's also overflowing with outstanding music on the title character's journey to gig his way from the Big Apple to Chicago; as the picture unfolds, leading man Oscar Isaac regales us with a soulful repertoire of classic folk tunes.
The soundtrack is so good that it got us thinking about great musical performances in other movies. Inside Llewyn Davis isn't a musical, per se, so you won't find any Broadway adaptations here, but that still leaves a number of films with wonderful music cues, from teen comedies to biopics.
So without further ado, here are our ten favorite music numbers in movies that aren't musicals:
Imagine this: you've traveled back in time to ensure your parents fall in love and preserve your own existence. The linchpin of your plan is their 1955 high school dance. What else, then, do you do when your future is on the line but tear up the stage playing Chuck Berry's "Johnny B Goode"?
That's exactly what Marty McFly does in Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future. Of course, nobody knows who Berry is when Marty introduces the song, thus making our hero the real "genius" behind the rock legend's most memorable number. But hey, who's keeping track?
Zemeckis almost cut this sequence from Back to the Future entirely, but positive test reactions convinced him to keep it. Smart move; it's one of the best in the entire film.
How can anyone watch the members of Stillwater belt out "Tiny Dancer" in Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous (arguably his best film to date) and not crack a smile? What starts out as an awkward, taciturn moment of unspoken frustrations turns into the movie's most important lesson on the unifying power of music.
Before Elton John's voice starts filling the air, the attitude aboard this bus can be described as sullen, silent, and generally peevish; nobody's happy with anybody. But before long, everybody's walls have come down; grievances are forgotten as they joyfully add their voices to Elton's.
It's a perfect reminder of how easily a single song can bring people together.
Sid Vicious, the late, great, erstwhile bass player for seminal English punk rock band The Sex Pistols, really did do things his way, so it's only fitting that the man chose to write a cover version of Paul Anka's "My Way" (popularized, of course, by Frank Sinatra) in 1978.
Which made it just as appropriate for filmmaker Alex Cox to essentially do a cover of the cover in his 1986 biopic on Vicious and girlfriend Nancy Spungen, Sid and Nancy. Cox and his star, Gary Oldman, recreated the video for the song (down to the ultimately censored violence) to anarchic perfection.
The rest of the film is a gut punch, heartbreaking and moving in equal measure, but this sequence (a foreshadow of the movie's tragic ending) could be its most evocative.
Generally, it's hard to go wrong with David Bowie; the one exception would be when he kidnaps your baby brother in the dead of night and holds him hostage in a castle full of goblins. Such is the plight of Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) in Jim Henson's Labyrinth.
Sounds pretty grim, but Jareth, king of the goblins (Bowie), has a decent streak in him: he gives Sarah thirteen hours to get through the eponymous maze, and in the meantime, he and his subjects do a halfway decent job of babysitting little Toby, singing "Magic Dance" together to cheer up the little tyke.
None of this makes their aims any less nefarious, but at least they're conscientious villains.
An open-casket funeral presided over by singer Jim James and indie rock band Calexico sounds strange enough on paper; on film, it's almost downright surreal. But the setting is what makes "Goin' to Acapulco" the most off-beat entry on this list.
That said, the film it's part of is pretty unorthodox, too. Todd Haynes' I'm Not There, an ostensible biopic about Bob Dylan, uses many non-traditional flourishes, including a fractured narrative, to tell its story, and cast six different actors (including Richard Gere, Christian Bale, and, most notably, Cate Blanchett) to portray Dylan at various points in his life.
When James shows up during Gere's segment, crooning this "Basement Tapes" ditty in full face make-up, it leaves a lasting impression, to say the least.
Few people know how to turn out a party better than Ferris Bueller, everyone's favorite 1980s teen truant. If Ferris Bueller's Day Off demonstrates anything, it's that the guy can't help but be the center of attention wherever he goes; he's a magnet for excitement.
Maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, though, since he tends to incite good times on his own. He doesn't need fun to find him, he just makes it. That's what defines Ferris – his undeniable cult of personality.
Case in point: when the Von Steuben Day parade wanders into Ferris' path, he takes the opportunity to lead revelers in a chorus of the Beatles' "Twist and Shout". What can you say? The kid has an inherent knack for seizing the day.
Like Almost Famous, the final number of Christopher Guest's folk mockumentary A Mighty Wind is all about music drawing people together. In this case, the people are folk musicians uniting for a memorial concert, but given that this is a Guest film, not everything goes as smoothly as intended.
Much of A Mighty Wind is spent getting to know the musicians – The Folksmen, Mitch and Mickey, and The New Main Street Singers – before the film's climactic performance. They're a quirky bunch; some of them worship color, while others, like Mitch, are victims of their own neuroses.
But when everyone gets on stage to play "A Mighty Wind" as one, all of their oddities fade into song. It's a heartfelt note to a movie defined by the ravages of failure.
It's hard to remember a time when Heath Ledger wasn't defined by his iconic turn as the Joker in 2008's The Dark Knight, but before he played the Clown Prince, before he starred in Brokeback Mountain, and even before he met Chaucer in A Knight's Tale, Ledger played Patrick, the male lead in the Shakespearean adaptation 10 Things I Hate About You.
This is the role that helped Ledger break out into the mainstream, and for all of its many delights (the film holds up well even today), his gutsy musical entreaty to Julia Stile's Kat remains its hallmark scene, even though his motives aren't totally pure.
Portraying a real person is enough of a challenge without the added task of mimicking their musical talents to boot, so the acting world probably still hasn't forgiven Joaquin Phoenix for making it look so easy in 2005's Walk the Line.
Whether he's playing a song or just being Johnny Cash, Phoenix nails the man's every tick; he more or less melts into the role, becoming almost indistinguishable from the person he's embodying. It's an impressive turn from a gifted actor in a film littered with great music.
Arguably, "Folsom Prison Blues" is the cornerstone moment of the picture, but if you've got a soft spot for "Ring of Fire" and "Jackson," Walk the Line's final scene is probably more to your liking. That said, you can't really go wrong either way.
If this last pick feels a bit coy, it still feels right: the Coens aren't strangers to pulling off musical numbers in their films, and in that regard, O Brother, Where Art Thou? feels like something of a spiritual cousin to Inside Llewyn Davis.
But music is used differently in both films. Here, it's a cover for Everett (George Clooney), Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson), and Pete (John Turturro), as they're on the run from the law after breaking out of prison; posing as folk musicians seems like a decent enough way to throw off the scent, so to speak.
It doesn't totally work in the end, but since it leads to a fantastic impromptu performance from the self-styled Soggy Bottom Boys, it's all worthwhile regardless.
This list could honestly have gone on for another ten entries (and maybe another ten after that); there are far more movies out there that hinge on strong musicianship than you might realize, and no two of them look the same. Films like Ray and The Doors, or non-Broadway musicals like The Muppet Movie and Once (yes, Once is now a Broadway musical, but in 2009 it was its own thing), all have a powerful musical pulse running through them. (To say nothing of seasonal hits like Elf.)
So let us know in the comments what your favorite musical non-musical movies are, and make sure to check out Inside Llewyn Davis once it begins its theatrical run.
Inside Llewyn Davis opens in theaters on December 20th, 2013.

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new survey from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® found consumers are concerned about the cost of their energy use, yet lack awareness of emerging energy management systems.
While many consumers turn lights off, shop for energy efficient devices and practice other eco-friendly practices, just 10.2 million of 119 million U.S. households are estimated to have enrolled in electricity management programs. Utility companies, the study found, are in the best position to raise awareness of these programs to boost consumers' understanding of energy consumption.
Currently, energy management systems allow consumers to control their home air conditioning and heating units through a programmable display. In the future, a smart grid would enable consumers to adjust home cooling and heating systems with a smartphone, run their dishwashers at times of low energy costs, or control home appliances remotely, among other applications. CEA member companies, including utilities and manufacturers of smart grid electronics, are advancing the deployment of smart grid systems across the country through CEA's new Smart Grid Working Group.
"Our research shows consumers are interested in how electricity management programs could reduce their monthly electric bills," said Steve Koenig, director of industry analysis for CEA. "However, our survey found there is little difference in the bills of those enrolled in electricity management programs and those who are not; which indicates further development by industry, utilities and government is needed to realize the vision of a smart grid that could bring about more meaningful cost savings to consumers."

Cost of electric bill |
60% |
21% | 36% | 64% | |||||
Amount of electricity used by electronics | 38% | 36% | |||||||
The survey of 1,250 adults, conducted in April, sought to better understand consumer awareness and attitudes regarding energy management and how energy efficiency gains in consumer electronics products have changed purchasing habits. More than half (55%) of consumers expressed interest in an electricity management program sponsored by a utility or electric company. Consumers also indicated they would prefer to use a device in the home (41%), an online portal (41%) or a mobile device (32%) to monitor energy use.
Looking forward, 46% of respondents aware of electricity management programs available in their area expressed an interest in enrolling in the coming years. Many more expressed interest in buying efficient consumer electronics devices. The research also showed those with energy management systems had slightly lower electricity costs, although much greater energy savings is possible when a truly interactive smart grid comes online.

Fall | $114 | $118 | |||||||
Winter | $137 | $146 | |||||||
Average | $125 | $132 | |||||||
"There are no silver bullets to advancing energy management solutions and eventually creating a smart grid that will allow consumers to remotely monitor and control products and appliances in their home," said Ben Arnold, senior research analyst for CEA. "Marketing efforts need to focus on the cost savings of these systems to get consumers' attention, but at the same time, consumers must be willing to adjust their electricity consumption habits and invest in energy efficient technology."

The survey (available here) follows a recent CEA whitepaper recommending new policies to improve the way Americans understand and manage energy consumption. The comprehensive whitepaper, "Unlocking the Potential of the Smart Grid – A Regulatory Framework for the Consumer Domain of Smart Grid," called for dynamic pricing programs and real-time consumption and pricing information to reduce energy usage and improve consumer awareness of consumption practices. Such developments could reduce consumption by as much as 20% and these changes are necessary so consumer electronics manufacturers can create the innovative devices of tomorrow that will empower consumers to take control of their energy consumption.

Would you know what to do if a fire started in your home? Would your kids? Take the time now to review fire safety facts and tips so your family will be prepared in the event of a fire emergency in your home.
Fire Prevention
Of course, the best way to practice fire safety is to make sure a fire doesn't break out in the first place. That means you should always be aware of potential hazards in your home.
Start by keeping these tips in mind:
Electrical Appliances, Cords, and Outlets
- Are your electrical appliances in good condition, without loose or frayed cords or plugs?
- Are your outlets overloaded with plugs from the TV, computer, printer, video game system, and stereo?
- Are you overusing an extension cord?
- Do the light fixtures in your home use bulbs that are the correct wattage?
- Does your home contain GFCIs (ground fault circuit interrupters) and/or AFCIs (arc fault circuit interrupters), which prevent electrical shock and fire by shutting off faulty circuits?
Look around your house for potential problems. And unless you're a trained electrician, be careful about do-it-yourself electrical projects. Studies have shown that many home fires are caused by improper installation of electrical devices.
Other tips:
- Replace or professionally repair any appliances that spark, smell unusual, or overheat.
- Don't run electrical wires under rugs.
- Make sure lamps and night-lights are not touching bedspreads, drapes, or other fabrics.
- Use caution when using electric blankets.
- Don't let kids use kitchen appliances by themselves and supervise any art or science projects that involve electrical devices.
- Cover any outlets that are not in use with plastic safety covers if you have toddlers or young children in your home.
Portable Heaters
The number of residential fires always goes up during colder months, peaking between December and February. Portable space heaters substantially contribute to this increase. Before plugging in your space heater, make sure you know how to use it safely:
- Carefully read the directions for its use.
- Never place a space heater where a child or pet could accidentally knock it over.
- Never place a space heater too close to a bed, especially a child's bed.
- Keep newspapers, magazines, and fabrics from curtains, clothes, or bedding away from space heaters, radiators, and fireplaces.
- Heaters should be at least 3 feet from anything flammable.
Careful in the Kitchen
Did you know that cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the United States? The kitchen is full of ways for a fire to start: food left unsupervised on a stove or in an oven or microwave; grease spills; a dish towel too close to the burner; a toaster or toaster oven flare-up; a coffee pot accidentally left on.
Always supervise kids while cooking and practice safe cooking habits — like turning all pot handles in so they can't be accidentally knocked over and not wearing loose-fitting clothing that could catch fire around the stove.
Check the Fireplace
Fireplaces should be kept clean and covered with a screen to keep sparks from jumping out. Only wood should be burned in the fireplace — paper and other materials can escape while burning and ignite nearby items. Never leave a fire burning unattended and make sure a fire is completely extinguished before leaving the house or going to bed. Have the chimney professionally cleaned once a year.
Beware of Cigarettes
According to the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), cigarettes are the No. 1 cause of fire deaths in the United States and Canada, killing about 1,000 people per year. Most are started when ashes or butts fall into couches and chairs. If you smoke, be especially careful around upholstered furniture, never smoke in bed, and be sure cigarettes are completely out before you toss them into the trash.
Matches and Lighters
You've heard it again and again, but playing with matches is still the leading cause of fire-related deaths and injuries for kids younger than 5. Always keep matches and lighters out of children's reach. Store flammable materials such as gasoline, kerosene, and cleaning supplies outside of your home and away from kids.
Using Candles Safely
As decorative candles become more popular, candle fires are on the rise. If you light candles, keep them out of reach of kids and pets, away from curtains and furniture, and extinguish them before you go to bed. Make sure candles are in sturdy holders made of non-flammable material that won't tip over. Don't let older kids and teens use candles unsupervised in their rooms.
Be Aware of Holiday Dangers
Around the holidays, there are even more potential fire hazards to think about. If you use a real Christmas tree in your home, make sure to water it daily — electric lights strung on a dried-out tree are a recipe for disaster.
All lights and lighted window ornaments should be inspected every year to make sure that cords are not worn or frayed, and all candles should be used with care. According to the NFPA, the number of fires started by candles nearly doubles during the month of December.
Smoke Alarms
It's a fact — having a smoke alarm in the house cuts your risk of dying in a fire in half. Almost 60% of all fatal residential fires occur in homes that don't have smoke alarms, so this may be the single most important thing you can do to keep your family safe from fires.
If your home doesn't have smoke alarms, now is the time to install them on every level of your home and in each bedroom. If possible, choose one with a 10-year lithium battery. If your smoke alarm uses regular batteries, remember to replace them every year (hint: change your batteries when you change your clock back from Daylight Saving Time in the fall). Test your smoke alarms monthly, and be sure your kids are familiar with the sound of the alarm.
Because smoke rises, smoke detectors should always be placed on ceilings or high on walls. If a smoke detector near the kitchen goes off while you're cooking, do not take the battery out of it — you may forget to replace it. Open the doors and windows instead. Or you might consider installing a rate-of-rise heat detector for places like the kitchen, where smoke or steam from cooking are likely to cause false alarms. These alarms can sense when the temperature reaches a set critical point or when it rises by more than a certain number of degrees a minute.
If you're having a new home built or remodeling an older home, you may want to consider adding a home sprinkler system. These are already found in many apartment buildings and dormitories. Carbon monoxide alarms also can be lifesaving.
Fire Extinguishers
Be prepared for any accidents by having fire extinguishers strategically placed around your house — at least one on each floor and in the kitchen (this one should be an all-purpose extinguisher, meaning it can be used on grease and electrical fires), the basement, the garage, or workshop area. Keep them out of reach of children.
Fire extinguishers are best used when a fire is contained in a small area, like a wastebasket, and when the fire department has already been called. The NFPA says to remember the word PASS when operating an extinguisher:
- Pull the pin. Release the lock with the nozzle pointing away from you.
- Aim low. Point the extinguisher at the base of the fire.
- Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly.
- Sweep the nozzle from side to side.
The best time to learn how to use the fire extinguisher is now, before you ever need it (if you have any questions, the local fire department can help). Fire extinguishers have gauges on them indicating when they need to be replaced and should be checked regularly to make sure they're still functional.
If you're ever in doubt about whether to use an extinguisher on a fire, don't try it. Instead, leave the house immediately and call the fire department.
Teaching Kids the Facts About Fire
Unfortunately, many kids will try to hide from a fire, often in a closet, under a bed, or in a corner. But if taught basic fire facts, they'd be better able to protect themselves.
Teach your kids that fires spread quickly, that most fire-related deaths are not from burns but from smoke inhalation, and that dangerous fumes can overcome a person in just a few minutes.
Kids should learn to:
- cover their mouths and noses with a moist towel or an article of clothing to keep out dangerous fumes while evacuating
- crawl under the smoke to safety, staying as low to the ground as possible (smoke always rises)
- touch any door (not the doorknob) to see if it is hot, and if it is, not to open it — find another exit
- locate the nearest stairway marked "Fire Exit" if they live in an apartment building, or a fire escape if the stairway isn't accessible — kids should know to always avoid elevators during a fire
- never stop to take personal belongings or pets or to make a phone call (even to 911) while evacuating
- never go back into a burning building once safely outside
- stop, drop, and roll to extinguish flames if an article of clothing catches on fire
Kids should also always be dressed for bed in flame-retardant sleepwear.
Practice Fire Drills at Home
Kids have fire drills at school and adults have them at work. Why shouldn't you have them at home, too? Fires are frightening and can cause panic. By rehearsing different scenarios, your family will be less likely to waste precious time trying to figure out what to do.
Planned escape routes are a necessity, especially if a fire were to occur during the night. Go through each room in your house and think about the possible exits. You should have in your mind two escape routes from each room, in case one is blocked by fire. Inspect the room to make sure that furniture and other objects are not blocking doorways or windows.
Make sure that the windows in every room are easy to open and are not painted over or nailed shut — remember, these may be your only way out in a fire.
If you live in an apartment building, make sure any safety bars on windows are removable in an emergency. Be sure to know the locations of the closest stairwells or fire escapes and where they lead.
If your house is more than one story tall or if you live above the ground floor of an apartment building, an escape ladder is an important safety feature. You should have one escape ladder made of fire-safe material (aluminum, not rope) in each upper-story bedroom that is occupied by a person who is capable of using it.
Like fire extinguishers, escape ladders should be operated by adults only. The ladder must be approved by an independent testing laboratory, its length must be appropriate for your home, and it must support the weight of the heaviest adult in the house.
Discuss and rehearse the escape routes you've planned for each room of your home. Designate a meeting place outside your house or apartment building that is a safe distance away (a mailbox, a fence, or even a distinctive-looking tree will do) where everyone can be accounted for after they escape.
Then, every so often, test your plan. Use your finger to set off the smoke detector and let everyone know it's time for a fire drill. See if everyone can evacuate your home and gather outside within 3 minutes — the time it can take for an entire house to go up in flames.
Be sure any babysitters in your home know all escape routes and plans in case of a fire.
Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide poisoning is another indoor danger. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by wood- or gas-fueled appliances (such as heaters, stoves, water heaters, or dryers) that don't burn properly, as well as by charcoal grills, automobiles, and fireplaces.
Feeling very tired (more than usual), having long-lasting headaches, and nausea or dizziness are some symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. Sometimes people may think they have the flu. You should also be suspicious if other people in the house are experiencing these same symptoms at the same time.
Install CO detectors in the home near bedrooms and sleeping areas. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation, testing, and replacement of CO detectors.
If people are feeling ill and the CO alarm goes off, get out of the house immediately and call 911. Do not go back into the home until the fire department gives you the OK.
A few other tips to prevent CO exposure:
- Never keep a car on and running in the garage, even if the garage door is open.
- The home should not be heated with the range or oven.
- If you have a charcoal grill, use it is outdoors only.
- The home's heating system and chimney should be checked by a professional every year.
Being prepared is the best way to protect your family from a fire. So know the rules of fire prevention, stock your home with fire-safety items, and make sure your kids know what to do in a fire. A few minutes of planning now may save lives later on.

Gary shit breath said it's not the homo room anymore it's the homosexual room and corrected Hein like 3x on the WUS.
He has job security because he knows where the bodies are buried. Consequently the show sucks bad when there is no talent left on the show any more. Only two people are in the Studio now. Howard and Fred.
Oh right...so who pitched the Return of the Homo Room at last weeks meeting? Sal or Richard?? or Benjy ....I agree it was pretty funny ! ETM takes alot of shit from the show....(like I do here) and he just keeps on going! THat's what I LOVE about him! His calls are ALWAYS funny!! on the other hand..... Hanzi = NOT FUNNY Howard...STOP shoving Hanzi down our throats...he's NOT Funny..he's just a PHONY....and a BORE.... ETM is NEVER boring....always FUNNY! peace & Love
Hanzi is so phony it's nauseating. As soon as Howard mentioned how uninteresting he is when he's calm, he went right into shtick mode.
Soooo funny...Sooooo TRUE! and most of the time Fred isn't even THERE! He's either asleep at the "wheel" or on a "pee break".....(age related like Howard & Robin's dementia) Gary's Book...."My 30yrs of ABUSE on the Howard Stern SHow".....look for it in 3 years (or sooner depending on his mental breakdown) Are we going to one day HEAR all of them "melt down" ON AIR??? It's getting close to that day! peace & Love
I agree about Fred. He's off in pre-senile dementia land. Or he has "I can't be bothered to care-itis"
eric is a fucking idiot. he ruins everything. i gotta ask, what made you laugh? he just pulled the same shit he always does. IM NOT DOIN IT. fuck him. hank woulda been down there sticking a toilet brush up his ass and flossing his tonsils all because he loved the show and old howard. fuck this ungrateful unfunny midget. i hope he drops dead and burns in hell and when i get there because im sure it won't be long, ill fuck eric in hell face down in his hot coal litterbox for all eternity!!!!!!!!

Well, what can I say....been on Co-Q10 for numerous years now.I am a victem of "Statin" Cholesterol medications. Back in 1995 my doctors paid no attention to me about muscle pains, and falling down when trying to look skyward. I did a lot of research and found several research labs were trying to get the FDA to cause co-prescribing Q-10 along with statins...to no avail...not even yet. However, a few doctors do now co-prescribe. As for me it is a lost cause. All I am doing is delaying the progressive decay of muscle to nerve connections (which is what natural Q-10 in the body does)I am diagnosed with Peripheal Progressive Poly-neuropathy. I have diabetes but that neuropathy affects my hands and feet. My Primary Care Doctor does now recommend I stay on this product. If I get off of it the first thing that happens is my feet and my hands will feel as though they are submerged in flames and I am burning.The Peripheal poly-neuropathy is not caused in my case by Diabetes II. I did not get Diabetes until 7 years after being totally affected by this particular neuropathy. Using 200 mg is the top side of the Laboratories testing dosage. But, I have climbed to this level from 50 mg to sustain my abilities.

Good but get Jarrow's PQQ+Ubiquionol if you can afford it, way better.
Posted by dbaverstock on Jan 28, 2017
If you're 30 or under then you'll do great on plain 'ol Co-Q10, as your body is still able to readily absorb it in this form. You should find it gives you a massive energy boost in general when consistently taken. IF you don't, give Jarrow's PQQ+Ubiquionol combo a go, it has Co-Q10 in its more bioavailable form combined with another mitochondrial booster. You should find either of these to give you a massive boost in energy, depending on your age.

(Sept. 10, 3:11 p.m.) Robert Strube and his wife, Helen, have established the Bob and Helen Strube Freedom from Hunger Fund to support the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
One of the original founders of the food depository in 1978, Robert Strube is the former president of Strube Celery & Vegetable Co., Chicago.
The fund, which stands at $470,000, including donations made in honor of the Strubes, uses revenue from the principal to support the food depository's efforts to provide food to food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters throughout Cook County, according to a news release.
Last year, the food depository distributed more than 46 million pounds of food to more than 600 food pantries and shelters, helping feed 500,000 people, according to the release.

The idea that voter fraud doesn't exist is a left wing fairy tale. It does. If a Congresswoman is doing it you can feel certain that lots of other people do. There has never been any way to stop it or prevent it so leftists like to point our the low number of arrests made. That's like saying a bear doesn't crap in the woods because no one saw them do it.

L.S. Lowry
We are based in South London near Croydon and if preferred this item can be picked up by appointment. Just e-mail here.
Born in Rusholme, a suburb of Manchester, Laurence Stanley Lowry (1887-1976) lived all his life in and around that area. He studied at the Municipal College of Art in Manchester and the Salford School of Art between 1905 and 1925. He is best known for his scenes of solitary people crowding the streets of the northern industrial landscape. By 1920 he had developed his distinctive style and subject matter, but it was not until 1939, with his first London exhibition, that this unique artist began to achieve the national recognition which culminated in his election to the Royal Academy in 1962.

Anyone who knew Bubba knew that he was unfaithful long before he got into the White House. Used to work with a guy from Little Rock, and he had many stories about the Clintons well before they lived in the White House. She had to know what he was up to---everyone else in Little Rock knew. Bill was having a thing with a woman who attended the same church as the Clintons and my friend.
I'm sure that Hillary despises Obama. It should be interesting to see them try to throw each other under that proverbial bus. It could get really ugly.

Hillary doesn't despise Obama. She flat out hates the man. I mean her level of hate to him is at a level that is unimaginable. She would probably love the opportunity to crucify if given the chance. Her and Bill both feel that way about Obama. Most of it started when he called them both a racist for running against him in 2008, and the rest is from his total lack of following orders and ego driven megalomaniac attitude.

Hillary Clinton is getting the ultimate butt kissing from Hollywood. Yes, Hollywood is making a movie on her life. Oh I can not wait to see this flop! MSNBC will give it rave reviews and the public will want nothing to do with it. lol Don't be surprised if they make it where she wins in 2016.

D'Erryl Williams II made an oral commitment to San Diego State while on an official recruiting visit, which ended Saturday.
"This is a Top 25 program," said D'Erryl Williams Sr., his father. "D's dream is to play in a Final Four. In order to do that, you have to play with a group of players and coach who has assembled something that allows you to do that. And that's now in play for him."
Williams is a teammate of four-star recruit Dakarai Allen, who committed to the Aztecs last month.
Williams and Allen have played together since 7th grade and talked openly about continuing that in college.
"I told them it was a great dream but a far-fetched dream," Williams Sr. said. "I'm never going to tell my kid or anyone else that they shouldn't have a dream. It's empowering to have dreams. But I told them the likelihood of it happening is very slim, because there are just so many factors in choosing a college.
"But it happened."

Hi Everyone - I hope you are having a wonderful time over the Holiday Season! I have jumped on the Top Ten bandwagon this year and am showing my ten most popular blogposts (by pageviews)from the year.
This has been my most popular post by a factor of 60! This year I am going to post a more detailed tutorial on how I created it.
I made these one afternoon for my mother-in-law and the illustrated tutorial has been really popular.
I created this project after I was selected as a monthly Guest Designer for Little Yellow Bicycle.
One of my favorite projects of the year - part of a large collection of items I created for Echo Park as part of their Fresh Face Design Team.
One of my few non-scrapbook posts but really popular with parents and teachers alike!
Such a fun way to upcycle jars and use scraps of scrapbook paper.
This really simple tutorial using a single sheet of paper has so many potential uses.
Another non-scrapbooking project, this idea is perfect for using up old scraps of crayons.
This was so much fun to work on but I decided the pressure of completing it every day was too much so we gave it away in the shop as a prize at our Christmas event!
One of my personal favorites of the year was this post below.
I created the items for a lady named Jodi who won a custom card set. When she set she wanted one with a military theme to give to her son who was about to start training, I suggested a mini album and frame instead and she was so thrilled. I got a REAL kick out of that!
I would like to thank everyone who has become a follower this year and
everyone who has left a comment. I love to read them and I try and visit
your blog too!
Please leave a comment with any questions.
Lowri :-)
I am linking up this post to these websites here.

Under the Gang of 8s backroom immigration deal with Senators Schumer, Corker and Hoeven, formerly illegal immigrants who are amnestied will be eligible to work, but will not be eligible for ObamaCare. Employers who would be required to pay as much as a $3,000 penalty for most employees who receive an ObamaCare healthcare exchange subsidy, would not have to pay the penalty if they hire amnestied immigrants.
Consequently, employers would have a significant incentive to hire or retain amnestied immigrants, rather than current citizens, including those who have recently achieved citizenship via the current naturalization process.
The issue is really an interaction effect of the immigration proposal and ObamaCare itself.
Beginning in January, businesses with 50 or more full-time employees, that do not currently offer healthcare benefits that are considered acceptable by the Obama administration, must pay a penalty if at least one of their workers obtains insurance on a new government-run exchange. The penalty can be as much as $3,000 per employee.
Many employers have been preparing to cope with the new regulations by slashing the hours of full-timers to part-time status. Since full-time, in the language of ObamaCare, is averaging 30 hours per week, employers will, in general, receive the penalty if they have 50 or more employees who are working an average of 30 hours per week.
If the immigration bill becomes law, many employers could receive incentives of hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire amnestied immigrants over American citizens. In addition, these newly legalized immigrants could work full-time, an advantage for companies and businesses as well, while employers could lay off or diminish to part-time status, American workers.

FUMR and your gang of eight traitors!
Convicted felons and illegal aliens are the only ones that will have a job in the USA.
So why are the unions for this monstrosity? Early retirement benefits/pensions?
Is there a part that says AMNESTIED IMMIGRANTS do not ever have to pay any taxes
Claire Wolfe's alarm clock is winding down.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Let me see....amnestied folks get full time jobs and don't have to deal with deathcare? They will be able to go to any doctor anytime and I get to die.
How I hate the ones ruling us.
phuck them all.
Those bastards continue to violate their Oaths
as they actually sell OUR country and, what is
left, of its security.
They are Lawless without remorse.
They are corrupt without accountability.
They have made the Constitution a document for them
to pi$$ on and ignore at their whim, hourly.
They lie ... and there is NO accountability, just
a press that snuggles and lies.
Unintended consequences? As a result of my Congress?
I doubt the rank and file union members even know how screwed they'll be. The union bosses love it, though, since their main job is to collect dues and RAT votes. The wetbacks will oblige without asking questions, and the mega-corporations will get plenty of cheap labor.
Every day it seems we are one step closer to shooting. Our fore fathers would have already started it.
I wonder who they think is going to be around to pay any taxes in the future.
When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt, but protects the corrupt from you - you know your nation is doomed.
-Ayn Rand
This does indeed smack of 10-289
Every day it seems we are one step closer to shooting. Our fore fathers would have already started it.
Yep. But our fore fathers would slap us silly for allowing it to get this far. They'd take us to the wood shed.
Then they can pay their own damn benefits and fund this stupid government themselves while I sit on my ass in a comfortable chair and which it fall to the ground.
Post of the day. Truer words have never been said.
You are exactly right:
Directive 10-289 is ratified roughly halfway through Atlas Shrugged as an emergency measure. It locks the economy in place.
As they learned the hard way in the subsequent pages, economy, like an education, is motion, not a status, position or level. To lock it in place is to kill it.
Point One: All workers, wage earners, and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment...
Point Two: All industrial, commercial, manufacturing, and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit, nor leave, nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business...
Point Three: All patents and copyrights, pertaining to any devices, inventions, formulas, processes, and works of any nature whatsoever, shall be turned over to the nation as a patriotic emergency gift...
Point Four: No new devices, inventions, products, or goods of any nature whatsoever, not now on the market, shall be produced, invented, manufactured or sold after the date of this directive...
Point Five: Every establishment, concern, corporation or person engaged in production of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth produce the same amount of goods per year as is, they or he produced during the Basic Year, no more or no less...
Point Six: Every person of any age, sex, class or income, shall henceforth spend the same amount of money on the purchase of goods per year as he or she spent during the Basic Year, no more and no less...
Point Seven: All wages, prices, salaries, dividends, profits, interest rates and forms of income of any nature whatsoever, shall be frozen at their present figures, as of the date of this directive. (But taxes will be allowed to increase as needed for the public good)
Point Eight: All cases arising from and rules not specifically provided for in this directive, shall be settled and determined by the Unification Board, whose decisions shall be final.
So, what happens to all of the union workers that will be displaced?
I should have added that after they took us to the wood shed, they'd lock and load and then go hunting.
This is all such a shame.
We've known from the beginning that Rubio is nothing but an opportunist joke.
Cuba has more honest government than we do now.
wow.Just insane
Just another day, just another betrayal of the republic.
Cool! If I turn myself into a BP office claiming to be Jose Jimenez, I can get a car, a phone, an education, health care, housing and welfare?!? I really don't want to actually work though so maybe I can have my friend, Joe American, work in my place and pay me 10% of his salary as a finders fee. Hmm, this could work!
Does it matter? Nappy already said DHS will decide what to enforce and what to ignore. Do you think Obama, who would be the biggest vote buyer in history, and his IRS would want his new Dem (or worse) voters to be unhappy?
I think Rush teased about this...relinquishing citizenship, going to Meheeco, then walking back across the southern border to get all of the freebies.
Frankly, I think the Lefties would like nothing more than for the "right-wing-nuts" to start shooting.
Of course they don't. The Union bosses told them it would be good for them, and they agreed.
No shit, they know most regular citizens will not vote to give them power so they wanna import people from a third world where they gladly vote for tyrants in exchange for promises of trinkets and security...
Thanks. Even if they did owe taxes, well, this is the new political IRS.
You nailed it!
Just more proof that those that believe and live like Americans, you are the enemy and you need to be dealt with. We are in a full swing to totalitarianism by the ruling class in this country. Reality does not matter to them, only the chance to obtain ultimate power.
It's anti-minority!
Most unskilled jobs are held by minorities such as blacks.
This creates an incentive to fire blacks in favor of latinos.
Why should this nation court 10-20 million latinos when the unemployment rate among blacks is over 16%!
THAT is how you fight this bill!
"The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them."
- Patrick Henry
Are there any men that will lead?
I can feel the breeze from the graves from here.
They are too stupid to figure out. Really I have never see such blindness... Guess it's the commie brainwashing.
There is nothing in this for manufacturing union members.
Exactly. To me, it doesn't make ANY sense for ANY union member or low paying entry level worker to support this. They're about to be replaced.
Only until they found out that they were the targets of opportunity!

Penguins notebook: Olli Maatta plays after all
May 11, 2014 11:50 PMNEW YORK -- Penguins rookie defenseman Olli Maatta was a surprise absentee Sunday at the game-day skate, raising the possibility that Deryk Engelland would take his lineup spot in Game 6 against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.
But Maatta joined his teammates for the pregame warm-up and was able to play. The Penguins did not immediately indicate why Maatta missed the skate.
Engelland has not played since the penultimate regular-season game, April 11 at Philadelphia, but he proclaimed himself ready to step in if or when the Penguins need him.
"The last series I played was against Boston" a year ago in the Eastern Conference final, he said. "That's probably as intense as you're going to get."
Successful debut
Whitehall native John Gibson didn't just make his Stanley Cup playoff debut Saturday night for the Anaheim Ducks.
He made history.
Gibson, 20, turned aside 28 shots in Anaheim's 2-0 victory against Los Angeles in Game 4 of their Western Conference second-round playoff series to become the youngest goalie in the NHL to ring up a shutout in his first postseason appearance.
He also is just the second goalie to record shutouts in his first start in the regular season and playoffs. The other was Boston's Tiny Thompson in 1928 and 1929.
Gibson established himself as the Ducks' goalie of the future not long after being drafted in 2011, but the timetable for him taking over as Anaheim's go-to goalie seems to have been accelerated.
With good reason.
"It's not the first time he's come in and played well for them," said Jeff Zatkoff, 26, the Penguins first-year goaltender. "He played a great game for them. Obviously, there's a little more pressure ... but he's done the job for them and he's played great in the [American Hockey League] playoffs for Norfolk.
"Obviously, he has a lot of talent. Everyone knew that. ... He came in, he played great, and I thought the team really rallied around him, too."
Thornton incident discussion
Despite knowing that Boston was a possible opponent in the Eastern Conference final for whichever team advanced -- or perhaps because of it -- the Penguins and Rangers were a bit reluctant to talk before Game 6 about an incident involving Bruins winger Shawn Thornton.
Thornton was fined $2,820.52, the maximum allowed under the Collective Bargaining Agreement based on his salary level, for unsportsmanlike conduct in Game 5 Saturday of the Bruins-Montreal series.
In the final minute of Boston's win, Thornton, from the bench, squirted water onto the visor of Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban as he skated past.
"It's not a dirty play. They're trying to just get under their skin," said Rangers defenseman Marc Staal, although he added that, "Out of a respect factor for playing the game, it doesn't happen very often."
Staal began using a visor after an eye injury. He and others acknowledged that having water sprayed onto the outside of a visor while play going on could be an impediment.
"You wouldn't be able to see very well," Staal said, then smiled. "It depends on how good he got him."
Penguins forward Joe Vitale shied away from offering an opinion on Thornton's actions, but agreed that it could temporarily limit a skater's ability to play.
"It definitely impairs your vision when you get water on your visor," he said. "And then it smears when you try to wipe it."
Thornton said he "got caught up in the moment."
Locker-room 'lows'
Jussi Jokinen stepped up onto the seat of his locker stall to stow his helmet after the game-day skate. A couple of his teammates made a calculated toss.
As part of renovations at Madison Square Garden, the visiting locker room that the Penguins use for games were revamped. The shelves and cubbyholes above their seats are much higher than in any other NHL arena.
"We were trying to figure out if this was a basketball locker room," said defenseman Robert Bortuzzo. "The showers are pretty high, too, so I figured that's probably what's going on."
Bortuzzo, who is 6 feet 4, can place his helmet on the top shelf above his head without much trouble -- as long as he's wearing his skates.
"It's tough for some of us and not so tough for others," said Penguins winger Brian Gibbons, who sat next to Bortuzzo for games at MSG in this series and is 5-8. Gibbons and Joe Vitale were among those who didn't even try to get their helmets on the top shelf where they usually are kept; they hung them on a hook meant for a skate but within easy reach.
