Social media censorship is so hot right now. The high-horsisms by social media CEO's Zuckerberg, Dorsey, and others give people a sense of confidence in a self-regulating social media industry. Yet, social media "code of conduct" policies are akin to a five year old's tree house rules.
Tree house social media rules make perfect sense… to a five year old. And they make perfect sense to our own internal five year old. Dorsey and Zuck are doing the "greater good" by having solid tree house policies to "help increase the collective health, openness, and civility of public conversation". Plus, it's their tree house, and they are the ones who raised the funds to build it, so they can do whatever they want. Completely valid… to a five year old.
Censorship as a platform doesn't roll off the tongue as well as "social media", but that's really what Twitter, Facebook, et al are. They are Jack and Mark's platforms. The methods used to derive code of conduct policies for Twitter and Facebook are ostensibly social and give the pretense of "openness and civility of public conversation". Yet, no matter how much you agree with what is being censored, censorship at a platform level doesn't truly promote openness. It only forwards the "civility of public conversation" as well as tree house rules do for a five year old. Still, Jack and Mark can sure feel good about themselves because they are handing out social media justice that fits their narrative of openness without being truly open.
Twitter and Facebook could easily build social censorship into their platforms. They already have all the pieces in place. The concept is simple: Allow social media users to join groups that enable users to align their timeline/feeds to the censorship settings of the group. They could even call it "filter settings" instead of censorship settings so that it sounds a bit more palatable.
If a group wants to block Jimmy Dore, they simply put that in the group's "filter settings" (which must be public, along with reasons: e.g. "Peddles conspiracy theories" and/or "Presents extreme left political positions") and allow users to "align" their personal filter settings to that group. Boom! Jimmy Dore is blocked. Want to block Alex Jones and all future Alex Joneses? Align your "filter settings" with a group that does all the blocking work for you.
This can be done with any of the existing tree house/social media platforms. Alex Jones and Jimmy Dore continue to have their social media outlets with exposure being limited to those who are members of groups that don't block them. Exposure isn't limited by the platform itself but by the actual communities using the platform.
This concept is different than the often heard "if you don't like something, don't watch it" argument. Choosing not to view/listen something requires someone to be exposed to something in order to determine that s/he doesn't want to view it. The exposure has already happened. The Censorship Settings model allows users to avoid the exposure in the first place. While an argument can be made that this creates a "social media bubble", it's still a choice being made by the user in the first place; just like scrolling passed undesirable content. The primary difference is the lack of initial exposure.
Jack and Mark et al are then promoting social engagement for people within their social circles and allowing their platforms to build socially created feedback on why content creators and their content is being blocked. That data can be useful in trying to "help increase the collective health, openness, and civility of public conversation".

My friends and I arrived to Logrono late in the afternoon and decided to explore the city for a bit. So happy to have stumbled upon this winery. We arrived right when they were opening up and the staff in the tasting room could not have been more welcoming. Gonzaga did our wine tasting with us and did a fantastic job of talking about the wines and also tailoring choices to our groups tastes (half are red drinkers and half are white). He has been working at the winery for years harvesting grapes and had just started in the tasting room. Couldn't tell that he had just started since he was so knowledgeable and gave our group a one of a kind experience! You could see his obvious passion for his job and for the work being done at the winery. Definitely add this to your list of activities to do within the city. Especially great for picking up some wines to enjoy back at our hotel in the evenings during our visit.

Ad earnings have dropped almost 2 dollars a day in the last week what's up?
Earnings fluctuate all the time depending on your traffic which then depends on the appeal that your hubs have for people at this point in time. It's summer, people are not online as often due to vacationing and what not.
Yeah thanks for your reply it was just in one weeks time it plummeted there was no progression of declining in earnings it just plummeted like a rocket like 80%. My traffic is still the same and my hub scores even went up so I don't know
by Rajan Singh Jolly 17 months ago
My views & earnings have dropped almost 70% & the dip is continuing everyday. What about you guys? Any idea what can be done? Thanks.

My traffic has dropped in the last week to almost nothing.What happened???Is this some Google Slap or something else
by Stove And Home 3 years ago
My Adsense earnings (not the ad program earnings) dropped by two-thirds yesterday yet I have the same amount of traffic as always. This has never happened before. Did I miss some kind of FYI that the page restructuring was going to affect Adsense earnings? This is bunk.
by Nell Rose 6 years ago
Has your daily earnings dropped significantly since changing your Hub profile page?Ever since I changed from the old profile to the new, my earnings have dropped below the silly stage. It may be something to do with the new Zzzzs as well, any ideas?
by salt 7 years ago
Yes, its been slow the last week, the turnover seems to have slowed as I get closer to the payout amount. I wait, I watch and think why cant this pick up, just one extra dollar per day. Last week you'd think my adsense was an olympic swimmer, this week, youd think it was an ever slowing rain drop.
by Phyllis Doyle Burns 5 years ago
My daily earnings have dropped drastically -- WHY? Is it because HP has pulled ads on my hubs due to the "unfeatured" hubs, which are mostly poems? Are poems not worthy of being featured and getting daily earnings? And WHY does HP decide what should or should not be featured?...

Debt has long been a way for corporations to boost returns to shareholders, but recently debt has been shunned by corporate America. According to a recent report from JPMorgan, since 2008, the ratio of total debt to total equity on the S&P 500 has dropped from a 20-year average of 171% to just 104% in the third quarter of 2013. Companies are clutching cash and not investing it back in the business, and they certainly don't have a normal appetite for leverage.
One of the reasons the S&P 500's debt has fallen is immense cash-generation from companies like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). They have more cash than they know what to do with.
Erin Miller sat down with Fool contributor Travis Hoium to see why leverage is suddenly a bad word in corporate America.

|Red Alert issued for Hurricane Otto
|Wednesday, November 23, 2016, Panama
|As Hurricane Otto progresses through Central America, Panamanian national authorities have elevated safety concerns by issuing a RED ALERT nationwide. Harbour movements have been suspended until further notice and some ports and terminals (such as Cristobal and MIT) have suspended operations.Although Panama Canal transits are currently continuing, attendance at Balboa and Cristobal anchorages are experiencing delays and interruptions.Effects already seen include flooding, landslides and falling trees and branches. Due to excessive rainfall the Panama Canal has opened 13 of 14 of the Gatun water dam gates (spillway) to prevent excessive flooding.
There are several delays and setbacks due to both the strong wind (gusts recorded in excess of 70 mph) and constant, heavy rains both at Balboa and Cristobal.
The National Hurricane Center (http://www.nhc.noaa.
In light of the worsening conditions, GAC-Wilford & McKay yesterday (22 November) evacuated non-essential staff from its Cristobal office, leaving it manned by watch staff. Responses to emails may be delayed, and contact should be by mobile phones for the time being, as below:

How to Protect Yourself from Flu Epidemic
Much of the country is experiencing widespread and intense flu activity with an aggressive strain of influenza called H3N2. Getting an annual flu vaccine is the first and best way to protect yourself and your family from the flu. You should get a flu vaccine now, if you haven't gotten one already this season. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body that protect against flu. Here's what you can everyday to take preventive actions and protect yourself from getting the flu:
Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.
If you are sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone for 24 hours without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.)
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
Wash your hands
often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an
alcohol-based hand rub
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu.
heck with your doctor promptly if you are at high risk of serious flu complications and get flu symptoms.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures reversed losses Friday, gaining 1.4% on speculations that the precious metal has been oversold. Gold for December delivery gained $9.80 to $724.50 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. It dropped to $681 earlier, the lowest level since September, 2007. Gold is "still fighting the deleveraging holocaust but as soon as this alleviates, it has significant room to rally," said Peter Spina, president of GoldSeek.com.

Tickets will be available to purchase from reception at Tyneside Badminton Centre or directly from myself. If you are block booking for a club please come directly to myself. I have a very strict deadline for returning numbers to the venue so there is a deadline for all ticket applications to be in with money by Thursday 24th April, after all once again this is very advanced warning of this year's date.

– Lime Pickle / Yoghurt / Raita etc.
They will also provide a vegetable curry option and a non-spicy food option by request, so please let me know if there are any requests for these so I can provide the numbers (it won't be generally available to all).
Once again we intend to present the volunteer awards so if you would like to nominate someone who has worked hard for your club, or indeed another club or the Association over the years please put a nomination to Norma with the reason you are nominating the person – email Norma Waterfield. Think hard about this as there are a number of volunteers out there in clubs who haven't been rewarded.
In addition please can Alison Thompson have all the trophies back by the end of March, please email / phone her to arrange delivery/collection or pass them to Julie Brown.
Please get this advertised to your club members and I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the event for a good dance. You don't need to know anything about ceilidh dancing to come along and have fun taking part, and also there is a separate bar area to sit in for those who wish to avoid the dance floor.

NoBama & No RINOS in 2012
My dreams consist of a world void of progressive ideaology. As these liberal communists and socialist seek to destroy the very freedoms that give them the civil right to spew their trash, society stumbles. These folks don't carry a torch for anyone or anything but their own bank accounts. They use minorities as pawns and lower and middle class citizens as cannon fodder. How long will you accept being the progressive whore of the left wing agenda? The nobles get fat and rich as we die and our families starve. They continually strive to disarm a public likely to revolt should their true design become obvious to the "useful idiots" they claim to champion. Renew and embrace the values our fore fathers fought and died to preserve. LIBERTY OR DEATH!
NoBama & No RINOS in 2012
"The people never give up their liberties, but under some delusion." - Edmund Burke
A well known person said "all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing". And unfortuneatly I see alot of nothing these days. I can always spot a good person running for office however by listening to how bad the mainstream media attacks him or her. Yes I do like Sarah Palin. I think she would make a good President.
Love this thread.
My dream is multiple worlds with people (so we don't become extinct if something bad happens to one), LOTS of elbowroom (so overcrowded people don't overdo that horrible evil called Government), and a society like the North American Confederacy in L. Neil Smith's Probability Broach novels, where all citizens carry gun and knife, but there is no government standing armed force.
Gee, didn't our Founding Fathers describe a republic like that, calling a standing army "the bane of liberty," or am I misremembering my history?
The police of a State should never be stronger or better armed than the citizenry. An armed citizenry, willing to fight is the foundation of civil freedom. Heinlein
"Wherever standing armies are kept up, and when the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." Henry St. George Tucker
Gary Johnson must be a real threat because the media won't even let him into the Republican debates in New Hampshire.
"The 2nd amendment was never intended to allow private citizens to 'keep and bear arms'. If it had, there would have been wording such as 'the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed'." -- Ken Konecki on Usenet, on 27 Jul 1992

Agreed, all. It's hard being active duty and still being politically active... I can get in trouble if I don't watch it. I try to get into subtle conversations with co-workers and send out emails to them about current topics I'm concerned about with the hopes that they too will want to educate themselves and make an informed choice about whatever matter.
Sadly, the majority just couldn't give a hoot. They don't ask why about anything important... just concerned about their Iphone's Apps. Or, some are very liberal and won't entertain any other view I try to present. I think for many, being in the military has spoiled them. With the paycheck every two weeks, "free" health care(it's crappy), paid housing on base, and in general a lack of connection with what the other americans deal with. B/c we(military) are employed by and paid by uncle sam we tend to forget what it is like to really work for what we have. Now, saying that... for those of us who go forward into battle overseas, we earn every damn cent we make over there and every entitlement we're given.
It bothers me to see so many of my fellow Americans comfortable with being so ignorant! But, maybe I'm wrong... as many of the people around me tell me..."you're parinoid" and other things like that.
It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush-fires of freedom in the minds of men.
Samuel Adams
Having walked in your shoes for 27yrs+ I understand the sentiment, although I would probably not use the word entitlement (only because there is such a stigma associated with it, in that the liberals have perverted it so badly) when it comes to our meager benefits as they are factored in as part of our wages for our 24x7 obligations... sure while we are on active duty we have the steady paycheck, but it pales in comparison to what many average u.s. citizens bring home (at least the ones working anyway) .
For others whom might not see where I am coming from...

Speaking about the house u have access to all that u can use at your home back in hometown. No restrictins on any. Its ur home in london.
Thanks kames for the lovely stay.
Several items need to be upgraded. To get into the bathtub was very inconvenient to my wife since it was unusually very high off the floor. I personally had to help her into and out of the bathtub for her to shower. There was no mirror in the bedroom nor a closet/wardrobe for hanging clothes. Hence, our clothes remained in our suitcases. Did not use the stove since the burners were badly rusted. If this is the standard of "shared apartments", then I will not select this option in the future.

The room was just as nice as it looked in the picture. Everything was clean. Owner Kam was very helpful and friendly. Helped me with directions online and looked up the location and trains where I needed to go.
Breakfast was good. I will definitely recommend this to my friends.
He was very helpful regarding which train to take and the bus routes not to mention which places to visit. He is a very good host.

"little natural market"
An eco minded business that brings out the lost equilibrium between man and nature. A brand beyond consumerism, where commerce delivers a conscious, ethical, and intuitive way of living.
A spark of enlightenment
This is my first time doing this so bare with me. Something inside me has sparked, and that spark has brought me to take my journey with Loca Luna more personal.
This page is going to be a personal journal where I share my moods, inspiration, growths, learning experiences and feelings that make up for the Loca Luna I am trying to build.
I am doing this also as part of my experimentation process for self growth, self love, and self understanding.
I chose this picture because it brings me a lot of calmness, tranquility, and inspiration. Three things that have been off balance in my life for the last couple of years. The freshness and cleanness of this image represents the start of my journey. I have agreed to surrender myself to my own existence and our two mothers, Mother Earth and Mother Moon. I welcome the journey that will help me embrace all my beauty and timidity.
Wish me luck!!
Natalia Colichon
slowly learning the practice of manifestation. In order to manifest one must first surrender with their scars open to the beauty of just existence.
At the moment I am still struggling to come clean to myself with certain things but I definitely moving forward.
Loca Luna has been one of my biggest sources of inspiration and self love.
I have been thinking of working with semi precious stones in a bigger scale. One thought... The combination of metals, gems and fibers.

Franklin Barbecue
900 E 11th St (at Branch St)
Austin, TX 78702
(512) 653-1187
$ $
Tue–Sun: 11:00 AM–2:00 PM
By 10 a.m. on a Friday there will be more than 90 people in line at this modest establishment, which traces its roots back to 2009 and a turquoise trailer. The 90 people who show in the next half-hour wait in vain; a waitress will tell them that there's just no barbecue left. So it goes at Franklin, where Aaron Franklin serves some of the best of Texas's greatest culinary claim to fame. The brisket, with its peppery exterior, falls apart as you pick it up. The turkey is what presidentially pardoned birds aspire to. The sausage snaps loudly when you slice it, juice splashing out and up... You've heard the buzz. You've seen Franklin on TV. You're heard his acolytes' brisket gospel. It's not hype. It really is that good.

If you have been diagnosed with periodontal disease, Dr. Ariana may include laser gum disease therapy as part of your treatment plan. Laser therapy can be very effective for treating an active infection in the mouth in a single visit. We will get great results with minimal cutting and sewing. Let us help you maintain optimal oral health with laser gum surgery.
Many people overlook the effects of gum disease on their health. It is important to note that an infection in the mouth has the potential to spread to other parts of the body so early detection is the key to preventing a number of general health problems.
Gum disease has been linked to several health issues, such as diabetes, an increased risk of a stroke, heart disease, and premature delivery. Common symptoms of gum disease include: inflammation of the gums, sensitive teeth, receding gums, and bad breath.
Laser Gum Surgery is a very targeted and precise procedure that can treat moderate to severe cases of gum disease. We can treat infected gums with a simple procedure without damaging healthy tissue and can even promote tissue regeneration. Laser dentistry allows us to provide a high standard of care to our patients and provide treatment with high degree of accuracy.
Dr. Ariana will pass a laser over the infected tissues to kill bacteria in the gums and stimulate healing. The laser may be passed a couple of times to ensure all of the infection has been treated and the laser can also prompt the natural healing process. Since this is a minimally-invasive procedure, it is relatively painless and there is no excessive bleeding or swelling involved. Thanks to the efficiency of the laser periodontal treatment, you can take less time out of work, because it requires minimal stitches, cutting, or sewing. This is because it heals faster and more comfortably than traditional periodontal treatments.

|[CPEO-MEF] Stakeholder Information
[This message was posted to the listserve by Ed Oberweiser, <email@example.com>] Hi folks, I am requesting that you place this important press release on your mail list server. It is important for stakeholders around military bases being closed. Thank You Ed Oberweiser F O R I M M E D I A T E R E L E A S E Federal Court upholds Fort Ord Toxic Project's Lawsuit The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to overturn its landmark decision in favor of the Fort Ord Toxics Project's (FOTP) precedent-setting lawsuit against The U.S. Army, the Department of Defense and the State of California over toxic landfills at the former Fort Ord Army training base in Monterey, California. The denial of the Army's appeal was handed down on January 7, 2000 in San Jose, California. FOTP and the Callifornia Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG) originally filed suit in mid-1997 against the federal and state government to stop the Army's dumping hazardous wastes into the unlined landfill on Fort Ord in Monterey County, California. Fort Ord is designated as a national (Superfund) cleanup site by the federal government (EPA). The Army is using the landfill to dispose of hazardous wastes excavated from multiple sites across Fort Ord. Evidence indicates that the toxic wastes threaten an underground aquifer that is the primary source of drinking water for the City of Marina, Monterey, County, California. The original 9th Circuit Court decision, on September 2, 1999 stated that the right to challenge Superfund cleanups at federally owned property is broader than the right to challenge such cleanups at private sites. The court stated the decision "allows plaintiffs to sue to enjoin many cleanups on federal property even though plaintiffs could not sue to enjoin a similar cleanup on private property." The FOTP lawsuit is a precedent-setting case. The court's decision, written by Judge Charles Wiggins, acknowledged that it is the first of its kind in the nation. The opinion stated, "no [other] circuit court has published a decision reaching this question." "Over the years, the U.S. Military has polluted millions of acres of land at thousands of military bases across the nation with highly toxic substances," says Executive Director of the Fort Ord Toxics Project, Curt Gandy. "In addition, the military has refused to adequately clean up its toxic legacy. At one base after another, the military fails in its response to clean up the pollution. The Army and the federal government believe they are protected from citizen lawsuits that challenge their cleanup actions. This decision changes that. FOTP vs. Army has national implications." "This decision provides millions of people across the U.S., who live in the shadow of toxic pollution at military bases, with a right to sue the U.S. and demand cleanups that protect the health and safety of their children," said Scott Allen of Cox & Moyer in San Francisco, attorney for the plaintiffs. FOTP is a community-based, non-profit organization of residents living on and around Fort Ord and Monterey Bay, formed to ensure the cleanup of environmental pollution on and around the former Army base protects human health, safety and the environment. CALPIRG is a California-wide educational and issue-advocacy organization engaged in research, lobbying, and citizen organizing to encourage protection and preservation of the public health and the environment. The plaintiffs represented by attorneys Scott Allen of Cox & Moyer and Charles Caldart and David Nicholas of the Boston-based National Environmental Law Center. For Further Information Contact: Curt Gandy, FOTP director (831) 641-5353 or attorneys Scott Allen (415) 543-9464 and Charles Caldart (206) 568-2853.

Estranged is a Malaysian alternative rock band that formed in Damansara, Kuala Lumpur in 2001. Currently comprising vocalist Rich Gimbang, lead guitarist Nor "Enha" Hanafi and rhythm guitarist Din Hormatov, the band have released four full-length albums: In Hating Memory (2004), Remain Unknown (2008), Anugerah Hidup (2013) and Sepenuhnya Vol. 1 (2016).
The band held their first live show in 2001, at TwelveSI. The band went through many changes to its line-up, including original lead guitarist Adzrai departing to further his studies, replaced by Hanafi, a grunge-influenced guitarist. Estranged participated in the "Yamaha Asian Beat Competition" in 2001, finishing 2nd runner-up.
After Rock The World 4 (Malaysia's annual rock festival), the band started work on their debut 11-track album 'In Hating Memory', released in December 2004. The album includes 10 English tracks and 1 Malay track. Their first single 'Velocity' started receiving airplay in June 2005, followed by the second single 'Chocolate Syrup'. Both singles were accompanied by music videos, directed by Motion Notion and Tan Chee Meng, respectively.
The band played alongside The All-American Rejects, Hoobastank, Raygun, Boys Like Girls, Pixie Lott, Misha Omar, and Kasabian as one of the live acts at Asia's very first MTV World Stage Live In Malaysia concert that was held in Malaysia on 15 August 2009.[1]
With a bit more diversity in the music arrangement, providing more variety between tracks, Estranged could well be an undiscovered Malaysian gem. -TERRINA HUSSEIN, The Malay Mail, 15 June 2005
Estranged's approach may seem middle ground, but there's still plenty of anger, as evident with plenty songs on 'In Hating Memory' being about times. -ADLIN ROSLI, New Sunday Times, 26 June 2005

Those governments taking the least action to combat modern slavery are North Korea, Iran, Eritrea, Equatorial Guinea, Hong Kong, Central African Republic, Papua New Guinea, Guinea, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan.
The governments that have the strongest response to modern slavery are The Netherlands, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Australia, Portugal, Croatia, Spain, Belgium and Norway.
Seeking strong laws to abolish slavery,Andrew Forrest, Chairman and Founder of Walk Free Foundation, said eradicating slavery makes sense, morally, politically, logically and economically, and called on the governments of the worlds leading economies to provide an example to others by enacting and implementing robust anti-slavery measures.
"We call on governments of the top 10 economies of the world to enact laws, at least as strong as the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, with a budget and capability to ensure organisations are held to account for modern slavery in their supply chains, and to empower independent oversight."
Forrest said leaders of the worlds major economies must bring the power of business to this issue, by requiring a focus on supply chain transparency.
"I believe in the critical role of leaders in government, business and civil society. Through our responsible use of power, strength of conviction, determination and collective will, we all can lead the world to end slavery," he said.
Forrest emphasised the key role that business needs to play in eradicating slavery.
"Businesses that dont actively look for forced labour within their supply chains are standing ona burning platform. Business leaders who refuse to look into the realities of their own supply chains are misguided and irresponsible," he said. PTI NC PMS AKJ PMS

After a one-day reprieve, oil prices shot higher again Thursday, setting another record. The jump spooked investors and drove the Dow Jones industrial average below 10,000 on fears that higher energy costs could further dampen consumer spending and undermine an already fragile economic recovery.
Crude oil contracts for September delivery closed at $44.41 per barrel in New York trading on renewed concern about a loss of supply from Russia.
Market analysts and traders said the highter oil prices directly led to a stock market sell-off in which the Dow fell 163.48 points, or 1.6 percent, to close at 9963.03, with 29 of 30 stocks in the average closing lower. It was the worst one-day point and percentage decline for the Dow since March 11, when it dropped 168.51, or 1.64 percent.
Other major market indicators sank as well. The technology-heavy Nasdaq composite index slipped 33.43 points, or 1.8 percent, to close at 1821.63. The broad Standard & Poor's 500-stock index closed at 1080.70, down 17.93, or 1.6 percent. It was the lowest close for the S&P 500 this year as 468 of 500 stocks in the index declined.
All three major stock market indicators have lost ground this year. The Nasdaq has fared worst, down 9 percent. The Dow is off 4.7 percent, while the S&P 500 is down 2.8 percent.
Despite the recent increase, energy analysts and economists note that when adjusted for inflation, oil prices are still far from where they were during the energy crisis of the late 1970s and early 1980s and that the United States has a solid supply of gasoline.
But experts also said oil prices are high enough to dent consumer spending, threatening a key pillar of the economic recovery at a time when the health of business spending and hiring remains uncertain.
If businesses fail to pick up spending where consumers leave off, or fail to sufficiently increase worker paychecks, the recovery could falter. That fear is reflected in the stock market.
"Oil prices are clearly part of the market's weakness," said Henry Cavanna of Cavanna Capital Management. "The question is whether they will undermine economic expansion."
A large part of the answer could come Friday, when the Labor Department issues its July jobs report. The economy has added jobs every month since last August, but the size of the monthly increase peaked in March and dipped in each of the three months since.
Economists say employment must rise by around 200,000 jobs per month to keep the recovery on track. Only 112,000 new jobs were created in June.
"[Oil prices] are certainly going to dampen things a bit, there is no getting around that," said Cynthia Latta, economist at Global Insight in Lexington, Mass. "But alone they aren't enough to derail the recovery. . . . If hiring picks up and we get 200,000 new jobs a month we will be okay. If we don't . . . that could slow things down."
Thursday's jump in oil prices came after the Russian government changed course and blocked Yukos Oil Co. from using frozen bank accounts to fund operations. Yukos is fighting bankruptcy amid charges by the Russian government that it owes $3.4 billion in back taxes. Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the largest shareholder in Yukos's parent company, is on trial in Moscow on charges of fraud and tax evasion.
Oil prices eased on Wednesday when it appeared that Russia would allow Yukos to use frozen money to fund its operations. But the Russian Justice Ministry said Thursday that the company did not have permission to do that.
Questions over continued oil flow from Russia have become more market-rattling as worldwide demand for oil soars, driven by expanding economies such as those of China and India, and because most oil producing nations are pumping at or near capacity. The threat of political turmoil in Nigeria and Venezuela, two major oil-producing nations, as well as continuing unrest and terror attacks in Iraq and throughout the Middle East add a further "risk premium" to prices, experts say.
"What's going on here is that inventories are still low enough on a global basis and [the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries'] spare capacity is tight enough that the markets are walking a tightrope," said Deutsche Bank analyst Adam Sieminski. "What everyone is afraid of is that just one more accident or sabotage or natural disaster and you are looking at $50 a barrel, if not something north of that."
Thursday's stock market decline was led by blue-chip companies such as Wal-Mart Stores. The retailing giant said July sales rose just 3.2 percent, the second-slowest increase in 13 months. The company said higher gas costs cut into consumer spending. Shares in the firm dropped $1.15, or 2.2 percent, to close at $52.05.
Tom McClellan, publisher of the McClellan Market Report, said stocks have entered a period of direct, negative correlation with oil prices. "So today's run-up in crude drove stocks down," he said.
Stephen Stanley, economist at RBS Greenwich Capital Markets, suggested that the correlation might not change until oil, along with fear of both domestic and foreign terror attacks, is not the main subject of conversation among investors and traders.
"Right now the tone of chatter in the room here is more like the post 9/11 environment. . . . People are more nervous and they are definitely talking about [oil] every day," rather than about the strength of the economy, as they were earlier this year.

Obama at WH Correspondents Dinner
Obama Jokes About Creating The Blame Bush Library
Obama: I'm Not the Muslim Socialist I Used to Be
Obama Mocks Rush Limbaugh at Correspondents' Dinner
After entering to hip-hop music, Barack Obama wasted no time in mocking conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday.
"How do you like my new entrance music?" Obama said, smirking. "Rush Limbaugh warned you about this. Second term, baby."
Obama entered to, "All I Do is Win," a DJ Khaled song that features Ludacris, who once rapped about wanting to paint the White House black.
Barack Obama made a birther joke.
Obama was talking about how his recent appearance at the dedication of George W. Bush's presidential library inspired him to start his own legacy. He then made a quip about the potential location of his library.
"Some have suggested we put it in my birthplace, but I'd rather keep it in the United States," Obama joked.
He then said, smirking, "Did anybody not see that joke coming?"
Wild Thing's comment...................
Of course the evening was spent bashing conservatives. He is such an ass.

It's nauseating to even watch this deceptive SOB so I'm not even going to watch the video clips here.

This ass has no concept of humility. His programmers and handlers make sure to keep his ego stocked which is an easy task.
Posted by: TomR,armed in Texas at April 28, 2013 11:44 AM
...these events were never intended for political campaigning. *THE*RULER* is not joking here. Don't merely s-t on us Ubama; be sure to rub our noses in it as well. How low can this arrogant f-k go ? I believe that he has gotten worse since his re-coronation. as I warned that he would. I hope that Limbaugh ignores what this jerk says. Dear Ruler wants to get "Media Matters" going...

Non-veggies, come back to reality!
New Vegetarians..!
With the bird flu causing a mighty scare throughout the country, my neighbor Susan yelled across the fence she would like to go veggy shopping with me, "Sure," I said thrilled she had chosen me and not others in the neighborhood who would have been more than happy to have escorted her. We entered the vegetarian store and I saw Susan looking a little out of sorts. "What's wrong?" I asked anxiously.
"They know I don't belong here," she whispered, "it shows all over me!"
"Nonsense," I said, "you look quite a veg to me, as genuine as a cauliflower!"
"You sure?"
"Never more right," I said cheerfully, "doesn't the lady look as cool as a cucumber?" I asked the storekeeper.
"You guys don't belong here," said a pimply looking fellow who was carrying a pumpkin in his cart.
"Don't belong here?" I laughed, "Why? Do I need to have a club membership to shop veg?"
"These are non- vegetarians!" shouted the pimply-faced fellow.
"Look," I whispered, "maybe there's no need to make it too obvious."
"Non-vegetarians!" shouted a crowd running towards us.
"Why you come here?" asked a woman with a foreign accent.
"The same reason as you came here," I said politely.
"I like to eat veg!"
"Good for you," I said and looked at Susan, "she says she likes to eat veg!"
"What you eat?" asked the same lady.
"Any thing," I said, "I'm not too particular you know."
"You are non- vegetarian," said the pimply fellow.
"Lets get out of here," whispered Susan holding my arm.
"Look," I said looking at the crowd, "Maybe we can shop, and you can leave us alone?"
"Lets get out of here," said Susan and I felt her fingernails dig into me.
"No," I said, "nobody has a right to bully us like this. Get out of our way," I told the crowd.
"No," said the pimply fellow.
"No," said the lady with a foreign accent.
"No," roared the crowd.
"So what do you want to do?" I asked.
"Shop with you!" roared the pimply fellow and the foreign lady and the rest of the crowd.
"Why?" I whispered.
"Because, we are all non vegetarians and we don't know what to buy!"
"Aha!" I said as I felt Susan's hand relax, "that there is a tomato!"
"That is an orange sir," said the storekeeper.
"And those are carrots!"
"Ladies finger sir!" said the storekeeper, and I watched aghast as Susan slipped away with the rest of the crowd. I buried my face in a basket of garlic.
"Not garlic, onions sir..!" said the storekeeper and watched me cry.

Tip If you have already applied a filter to the field for which you display a Slicer, the Slicer
reflects the filter's result.
A Slicer displays the values within the PivotTable field you identified. Any value displayed in
color (or gray if you select a gray-and-white color scheme) appears within the PivotTable.
Values displayed in light gray or white do not appear in the PivotTable.
Clicking an item in a Slicer changes that item's state—if a value is currently displayed in
a PivotTable, clicking it hides it. If it's hidden, clicking its value in the Slicer displays it
in the PivotTable. As with other objects in an Excel 2010 workbook, you can use the Shift

SUP Season Finale - Let's Do London!
I know, I know... SUP season finale when the sea is still frozen we haven't even started yet? But we'll be running plenty of water based activities throughout the summer so you'll have lots of time and many opportunities to get paddle fit.
The Big Ben Challenge is a group paddle through one of the most iconic and historic riverscapes in the world! Not the sort of paddle we do every day, and a fantastic way to end the summer season on a high note. Plus it's great to have a goal to work towards, and we get to enjoy a fun weekend in London!
Up to Protected content will journey 20km along the river, taking in the sights and sounds of the city. It's not a race in the strictest sense of the word (no prizes for coming first) but everybody who completes the course is entered into a draw for which there WILL be prizes. And some friendly competition between paddlers is always a possibility anyway if that's your thing.
We hope to be meeting up with our Internations friends from London's Outdoors group, and maybe members from other cities too. Travel and accommodation we'll sort out closer to the date.
Link to register is here:Protected content
Those without boards (probably all of us here) can request to rent one during registration.
Here's a video from the Protected content
Protected content
This event is NOT for the first time SUP paddler. You will need some experience and a decent level of fitness. And surely I don't need to say that swimming ability is essential, do I? But that's OK, we have all summer to get there! So if this sounds like your idea of fun and you would like a unique goal to work towards go sign up for the race and stick your name on this event.
Hope to see you on the river!

Jacksonville | Another victory secured, Hoggard finally can turn its attention to the Mideastern Conference championship tilt.
As soon as the clock at Jacksonville High hit triple-zero, a Hoggard player could be heard coming off the field yelling, "Y'all know what's next."
After a 35-0 win over the Cardinals Monday night, all the Vikings know what's next: A meeting Friday against New Hanover at Legion Stadium.
Hoggard enters the game 9-0, 5-0 in the conference; New Hanover is 6-4 but on a five-game winning streak.
Defensive coordinator Jeff Turner and quarterback Mark Crecco acknowledged that the conversation about New Hanover began as the teams lined up to shake hands.
"It hadn't started until about five minutes ago," Crecco said. "We knew we had to take care of Jacksonville."
Crecco did his best to help take care of the Cardinals, completing 6 of 7 passes for 172 yards, including two beautiful bombs to receiver Luke Caldwell. The Vikings'
defense did the rest, upsetting the home crowd on senior night.
Hoggard coach Scott Braswell declined comment following the game, referring questions to Turner.
"They knew what was at stake, and we didn't want to go into the next game with a loss," Turner said.
Crecco and Caldwell were among the Vikings who made certain that didn't happen. With 2:38 remaining in the first half, Caldwell caught a pass between two defenders and put a nifty move on one to waltz into the end zone from about 10 yards.
On Hoggard's next offensive snap, Crecco hung a lob over the middle that Caldwell picked out of the air before easily getting past his defender to make the score
35-0 with 1:11 to play.
"I think he does most of the work," Crecco said. "I hate to say it, but I can just throw it up and he'll come down with it. That's the confidence I have in him."
Along with the 35-0 halftime score, poor field conditions gave plenty of reasons to Braswell to play his starters sparingly in the second half.
Brad Busby took over for Crecco at quarterback and took his time between snaps, with the intention of getting his team off the field without injuries.
Shawn Sidbury scored the first three touchdowns, two on 12-yard runs and one a 62-yard sprint in which he was barely touched. He had eight carries for 111 yards.
Hoggard tops Cards en route to showdown
Jacksonville | Another victory secured, Hoggard finally can turn its attention to the Mideastern Conference championship tilt.

How educational this list is! ::grin:: Well, just in case you haven't figured it out yet, he writes pretty generic quest fantasy. I quite like most of his books; they're undemanding fluff, perfect for when I don't want to engage my brain, and have a certain degree of humour. If you're thinking of trying his stuff, the Belgariad is his first series (5 books of Saving the World). Then comes the Mallorean, which is a sequel series to the Belgariad, and is basically the same story over again, but I think he did it better the second time round. The Elenium is a trilogy (unrelated to the first two series) which has some rather nice politicking, and a sequel-trilogy named the Tamuli. I wouldn't bother with any of the rest of his stuff; it's more and yet more of the same - the first book of his latest trilogy left me snarling, "If that man inflicts one more fucking Child Goddess on me I shall travel to America and force him to EAT the damn' book!" Incidentally, while I don't doubt Juliette's memories of his books, I can't recall anything Ent-like anywhere in them; in fact, he doesn't go in for any non-human races that I can think of (unless you count gods).

Coordinate an international adventure as a volunteer
This Student Volunteering Week we have been talking to some of our student volunteers to find out how they support the children and young people we work with. Max is a student who has been volunteering at Loughborough University to help students aiming to climb the Morocco High Atlas Mountains to fundraise for us.
1. Where do you study and what course are you doing?
Loughborough University and I study International Relations
2. What is your volunteer role with us? What is a typical day?
Another student, Jon Ako, and I are the team leaders for the Morocco Trek. This means we will be supporting the team throughout their fundraising missions as well as joining them in Morocco. As a team leader I basically act as a home base for the volunteers and a close and friendly face round campus.
3. What have you most enjoyed when volunteering for us? Why?
The fundraising process itself. From introducing yourself to the team to organising socials. As the process continues it is great to make new friendships and watch new friendships be made while raising money for a fantastic cause at the same time
5. How has volunteering with us helped you with your studies? Have you gained new skills?
The main way volunteering has helped me is the responsibility. Being in my final year at university I thought it was a good idea to get my act together before going out in the world of work. Being a challenge leader for The Children's Society has given me the opportunity to work on skills such as organisation and presentation skills that will be useful in later life.
6. What would you say to other students who are interested in being a Challenge Leader for us?
Do it. It's an amazing opportunity to go on an adventure while having a fantastic network of people behind you. It goes without saying that raising money and also coordinating an international adventure looks great on your CV as well.
7. What would be your three top tips to new students who have signed up to a trek to make the most out of their experience?
1) Get the fundraising started early and do little bits at a time
2) Running is a great way to get a decent level of fitness while also opening up a new avenue to attract fundraising as everyone loves a marathon runner
3) Go to the socials. A lot of people make excuses to miss out on socials for whatever reason. When you get on the trek its good to know that you've got a good bunch of friends to meet you at the airport.
Get involved
If you are interested in signing up to the Morocco Trek and having Max as your fantastic leader please visit our sign up page.
Or you can check out more about how you become a challenge leader with us.

Recently we were given a bag of fabric scraps. Beth wanted to make a skirt or dress from some of the browns but there wasn't enough of any one color and it had odd angles. Finally, I had an idea of making patches and sewing them together.
First, I cut rectangles 7"x11" (Next, time I think I'll do 7"x10")
Then I pinned the patches together.
Next, I let Beth and Hannah sew them. This was great practice for them. It is a short straight line. They enjoyed it, and I saw an improvement in their ability to sew straight.
After they finished sewing, I serged all the edges.
Instead of doing gathering stitches, I put in little tucks semi-evenlly around the skirt.
To finish it, I hemmed the bottom, and made a casing for 1" inch elastic.
I have a large safety pin that I use for pulling the elastic through the casing.
The finished product!!!!

There are a lot of sports cars and muscle cars out there that have huge fan followings and iconic designs but, if you ask us, there are none that can stand up to the world-wide appeal and reliability of the 2017 Ford Mustang! In fact, the Mustang is the number one best-selling sports car in the whole world, and 92% of all Mustang models sold in the last 10 years are still driving today! With popularity and dependability like that, you'll see how it easily puts its rivals in the back seat.
No matter which one of the new Ford models most appeals to your needs behind the wheel, whether it's the 2017 Mustang or anything else, we'd love nothing more than to give you all the details you need and a test drive around the town. With our friendly experts at your side, your only problem will be deciding which vehicle you love the most.
