Discipline: Economics
Search theory is the analysis of how buyers and sellers acquire information about market conditions and how potential market participants are brought together. Its application to labor markets was pioneered by the American economist GEORGE STIGLER (1911-1991).
Search theory recognizes the principle that both employers and workers need to invest time and other resources to meet if mobility in the labor market is to continue.
Also see: crowding hypothesis, dual labor market theory, insider-outsider wage determination, labor market discrimination, segmented labor market theory

"Half Man Half God" will be part of the setlist for DON BROCO's first-ever U.S. headlining tour, which kicks off September 12th at Brighton Music Hall in Boston. Click HERE for tickets and see itinerary below.
DON BROCO's star continues to rise on both sides of the pond: in the UK, they were declared "Best British Artist" by Rock Sound magazine and have not only shared stages with the likes of 30 Seconds To Mars, Bring Me The Horizon and 5 Seconds Of Summer, they recently headlined a sold-out UK arena tour of their own. They're also 2019 Kerrang! Award nominees for "Best British Live Act."
The band has also earned kudos for their epic and darkly hilarious music videos, including "Pretty," "Come Out To LA," "Greatness," and "Technology."
"Half Man Half God" is their first new release since 2017's critically acclaimed Top 5 album, Technology. The album, the band's third, saw them featured on the cover of multiple Spotify playlists, including "Rocked," "New Rock Only" and "Top of the Rock" and drew rave reviews from the British media, with Rock Sound writing, "Technology is engaging, fun and an early contender for album of the year – plus the album of this band's career." Kerrang! called the album "14 tracks of craziness to be embraced and shouted at from the rafters."


text: You may or may not know this… But I'm a Jersey girl. Yep. I had some big perms back in the day. I also grew up with an awareness of the "swallow you up space" that is found when your toes press into wet sand and your eyes squint across a sky that is reaching down to the edge of the world. There is nothing like the shore. It's so big you can lose yourself in it, then walk away feeling like you know where you are going. I've lived in Pennsylvania now for more than half my life. As far as I can tell, the only flaw in its natural beauty is you can't find the edge of the world. That doesn't stop me from looking. I go walking in meadows and imagine an earth ocean, with tides of wildflowers going in and out with the seasons. Crows dip down into waves of golden grass like gulls in search of a snack. I stand in my worn out sneakers, squinting past the trees that are slowly losing their green trying to see the edge of the world…and wonder where am I going? Anyways, that is what I was thinking this week as I started work on this new painting with the final rays of summer streaming in my studio window. And that maybe I should get a perm. Just kidding;) I'm going to call it Meadow Ocean. That is…after I finish it. It's still an early work in progress, but you might enjoy these paintings that are available to purchase.

Here's All About Our Foodie Sojourn @ Much-Acclaimed Saravana Bhavan in Janpath
Picture Credits: Yummraj
The first Saravana Bhavan was founded in 1981, and we say first here because ever since its inception, it has gone on to become the largest restaurant chain in the world for vegetarian food. This is a restaurant chain which doesn't rely on advertising and marketing but on simple, quality food and the exemplary word-of-mouth of its customers.
We decided to go see for ourselves exactly what is it that makes people, including families and tourists from all parts of the world strolling around Janpath come here and wait for hours on end to grab a meal at this vegetarian joint which has outlets at more than eighty locations worldwide (woah)!
There are two Saravana Bhavans in Connaught Place, one in the inner circle, and one on Janpath road, which might be the source of some confusion. Generally, if you go on a weekend or Friday, chances are that there'll be a lot of waiting.
The interiors of the restaurant are simple and unpretentious, and quite similar to restaurants found in South India. Spread out over two floors, the Janpath outlet has a good seating capacity but triple the amount of customers they can handle. The menu is pretty much fixed, and includes an authentic, falvorful range of South Indian dishes from Dosas (called dosai), Uttapams and Vadas, Rava Khichdi and Idiyappam to their own patented sweets and ice-creams.
For the first timers, the best way to get a wholesome experience here is to order their Thali, which has an assortment of South Indian vegetables plus rice, chapatis and raita. Their Thali and Rasam are available only during meal timings which are till 3 PM during the day and 7 PM onwards at night. So here's the cornucopia of dishes we tried here!
Onion & Tomato Uttapam
First we ordered an Onion & Tomato Uttapam. Every dish here is served on a green banana leaf, and hence the golden-brown Uttapam looked quite attractive & tempting against the fresh green. The Uttapam was thick, well-cooked and stuffed with onions and tomatoes. It tasted delicious and went especially well with the tomato chutney, which was awesome! It's also worth noting that this dish contains actual tomatoes instead of preservatives and food colouring. The size of the Uttapam too was quite massive, and would make for a nice evening snack.
South Indian Parotta
Next we ordered the South Indian Parotta. This one can totally count as a proper meal! It comprises two fat South Indian Parottas which were soft and crumbly and only slightly rubbery, however, their real genius was brought out only with the help of the accompanying Bhaji. The Bhaji was cooked perfectly, replete with all the South Indian herbs and spices added in a manner that made the taste thoroghly consistent and zesty.
Masala Dosa
The third dish was their Masala Dosa, which was a slight disappointment unfortunately. The dosa, although huge, was slightly soggy, and the amount of aloo masala was not in proportion to the size of the dosa at all, and hence we had to order for extra masala, which again was chargeable. The masala, though, tasted well and had the right amount of spices. Their Coconut and Coconut-Mint Chutney went well with our dosa.
The last dish on our table was their Rasam, which was served in cute beer glasses along with light papad. And just like beer, be warned, their Rasam is not for the weak hearted! Extremely hot and spicy with a sour taste, it should be sampled only after being tried and tested! The papad on the side helps dilutes the sharpness of the Rasam. It is quintessentially South Indian and hence should definitely not be missed.
The sambhar at Saravana Bhavan is thicker in nature, like gravy, instead of liquidy which is unusual for a South Indian restaurant, but we personally preferred it that way. It was sour and spicy, but in a good way, and its sauciness made it easier to gobble up, as sambhar is anyway heavy on the tongue, especially for those who are not accustomed to South Indian fare.
We found Saravana Bhavan's claim to foodie fame to be totally justified and were left longing for more! One can only hope that it doesn't plunge in terms of quality, following suit to other chains, and is able to pave way for further success.

An "Arrangement Contract" Can Be Similar to a Restraining Order, Says Top Lawyer
For example, don't even look at your ex.
Say two celebrities need to "arrange" a relationship, for whatever reason. Fame, money, and status all play a role in why they're pretending to be madly in love. On E!'s new show, The Arrangement, some couples actually draw up contracts for the length of their relationship and some time after, to avoid disparaging remarks and secure future payments.
Hollywood stars hammer out everything from babies (how many? when?), sex (how often?), public photo ops (let's make it look real!), if the relationship is an arrangement.
Christopher Melcher, a partner with Los Angeles based law firm Walzer Melcher, said it's much like a premarital agreement, just without plans to actually get married. "The primary goal there is to protect their finances," Chris says. "Then they want to put in this other stuff, and this is where it can get very strange."
Chris says the kinds of things he's been asked to include in contracts—which he refuses to do and which are legally unenforceable—relate to sex.
"How many times a week or month can sex occur? Is there a penalty for not doing that? It's not enforceable," he says. "It's to use over someone's head in the relationship. It's to exert control."
Exes are another hot button topic. "A lot of people want their partner to have no contact with certain exes, [as in], 'You will not text, call, email, or see them.' It's almost like restraining order."
An anti-cheating clause is also popular. "I see a lot of guys — and some women — coming in and saying, 'Hey, if he or she cheats on me they get nothing.'"
Another crazy clause he sees is the stipulation that a spouse (often the wife) maintain her current weight.
"Men want to say, 'If they're not in that zone then they've lost their rights under the prenup," Chris says. "Again, not enforceable . . . but women do it for fear of not getting the money they were promised."
Oftentimes when Chris talks things through with the person seeking the contract, he explains it's not enforceable. But he says people usually tell him, "I get it, but I want it there anyway."
"It gets even more unusual. Like it's more, 'If we do have kids, I get this much and this religion.' Again, both unenforceable."
Chris will tell the couple to fill out a statement of intent as to what they are hoping to get out of the relationship, even though legally it won't hold up.
"It's a bad combo of control and power and fear of losing control so they want to have strings attached," he says. "These are odd relationships. I tell them what they need is an agreement that fosters a healthy relationship."
The Arrangement premieres Sunday, March 5 at 10/9c on E!

Tripper is a functional backpack that can also be used as a diaper bag! This pattern has been cleverly designed to avoid using any bias binding. The name of this pattern was inspired by the American sitcom, Three's Company.
This bag features two exterior zipper pockets, wide opening top, elastic side pockets, adjustable padded straps, carry handle, three interior elastic pockets, and is fully lined. The finished size is 12″ wide, 14″ high, and 10″ deep.
I'm confident that anyone can make this bag if they want to! It's not a quick sew; however, it's a very functional bag and well worth the time! There are quite a few pieces to cut, which can make this bag seem intimidating, but if you take it one step at a time, the bag will come together before you know it! When you're done, you'll feel very satisfied and accomplished!
The only hardware required is a set of Ladder Lock Buckles for the adjustable padded straps. Ladder Lock Buckles are available in five colors: nickel, light gold, antique, gunmetal, and rose gold
Included are step-by-step graphics to help make the written directions easier to understand. Also included are many sewing techniques and tips to help you achieve a quality, finished project. This pattern is designed to help you learn and expand your sewing skills!
Try using our Faux Metal Zippers by the Yard for this project! Easily cut and sew through the zipper's nylon teeth, while achieving the appearance of metal teeth.
RECOMMENDED FABRICS: For the best results, quilt weight cotton, canvas, denim, or linen for the exterior. PUL fabric can also be used for the exterior, but it's a bit more challenging. I recommend PUL fabric for the lining to help keep your bag clean, but quilt weight cotton will work just fine.
Pattern includes instructions for how to make the Tripper bag. Included in this purchase are (2) PDF files available for immediate download after checkout is complete: Tripper Cover and Tripper Instructions.
Please refer to pattern cover pictured above for the material and supply list!
This pattern would not be possible without my wonderful group of pattern testers! I appreciate their hard work! Their samples are pictured above.
Come Join the Fun!

Contested Climate Justice in the Arctic and West Asia and North Africa (WANA) (Part of CliCCS)
Cluster of Excellence: Climate, Climate Change, and Society (CLICCS)
Antje Wiener is part of the Cluster of Excellence "Climate, Climatic Change, and Society (CLICCS)" which is among four of the projects (out of a total of 57 funded Clusters of Excellence in Germany) approved for the University of Hamburg in Germany's Excellence Strategy 2018. She co-chairs the project-group B2, which is dedicated to "Dynamics of Climate Governance: Norms, Contestation, and Policies".
CLICCS will investigate how the climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. Understanding these changes, including how societies adapt, will enable us to assess with far greater confidence than before the range of imaginable climate futures. In taking on this challenge, CLICCS is guided by the overarching question: "Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible?"
Project B2 - Dynamics of Climate Governance: Norms, Contestation, and Policies
The next few years of climate governance-in-the-making are critical: observing them closely allows us to identify and assess key drivers of long-term social trends towards or away from decarbonization, which form – individually and through their interaction at different governance scales – the backdrop of possible and plausible scenarios of future climate governance.
The Paris agreement departs from the Kyoto Protocol's state-centered, top-down approach. It attempts to overcome the fragmentation of current climate governance through an architecture that relies on the global guiding norm of "keeping warming below 2°C", and enables a universal and voluntary bottom-up process based on the cyclical submission and review of freely determined climate policy proposals by states – Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) – and other public and private entities.
The effectiveness of this process will crucially depend on the practice of the upcoming global review-resubmission cycles of the Paris agreement (2018-20 and 2023-25) and the local implementation of NDCs.
The project addresses both. It will focus on the following key drivers:
- The (in)capacity of the UNFCCC to align the expectations and preferences of heterogeneous actors
- The effects of regional norm conflicts and contestations on energy security and climate justice
- The social and political dynamics of policy-instruments that shape NDC formulation and implementation.
Assessing these drivers and their interplay across scales will enable us to identify plausible dynamics of climate governance which will be a necessary prerequisite for separating plausible from possible climate futures.
Chairs: Stefan Aykut (UHH), Grischa Perino (UHH), Antje Wiener (UHH)
Further information about project B2 can be found here.
Outcomes: Workshops
A first workshop, organized by project group B2 took place at the CGG on February 6, 2019. The leading researches took rounds in introducing their research agendas and after a short report on the Climate Conference in Katowice further planning on research within the Cluster of Excellence was conducted.
Further Information on CLICCS, project B2 and job announcements
Further information about CLiCCS, participating researchers and institutions can be found on the project's flyer and official website.
For information about job announcements within the project "Dynamics of Climate Governance", please check the clusters website. Announcements for different positions will appear gradually.

1) We went to Early's yesterday (the local feed/seed store). Bought some layer ration, oats, and sunflower seeds to make up a batch of Breakfast of Champion layers feed for the girls. Already have cracked corn, diatomaceous earth, and nutritional yeast. Got the recipe off Fresh Eggs Daily. Don't have all the ingredients but should be pretty close. I'm excited for the girls to try it!
2) Will made a whole bunch of deer sausage and deer jerky today. Thank you deer(s).
3) Our friend Alan came over for supper tonight and brought a truck-full of composted manure with him from his farm. This stuff is black gold. Our garden is going to bloody rock this summer.
4) It snowed this morning. Not so much exciting as annoying, now that I think about it. But it will provide some lovely spring-time moisture as it melts in the next few days (See? I can look on the positive side once in awhile).
5) Our foster toddler is going to be moved to a family member's house in the next few weeks. She's been getting to know her new family and has a visit scheduled with them this weekend. We're so happy for her! (Not to mention, we're looking forward to taking a break from child-rearing). A positive outcome in the foster care system (It's not all bleak awfulness. Sometimes there are rainbows).
6) The leeks and tomatoes we planted failed to thrive (boo!) but the broccoli is going strong (yay!) We bought onion sets and garlic at Early's yesterday. Looking forward to planting onions and radishes next week. (Only suckers wait for May long). We're planting yellow onions, white onions, and red onions, as well as a small amount of soft neck garlic. Our hardneck garlic has been in the ground since the fall. Also, the chives are up and tulips are starting to poke through the dirt/snow.
7) Got a couple of new play workshops coming up with SPC's Spring Festival, and possibly some auditions, so the acting career is still afloat.
8) The forecast says +17 by Friday! So. Exciting. Time to clean the coop methinks. Got to scrape out the winter wood chips, get some fresh straw for inside and a bag of sand for the run. I'm also planning to add a chicken swing (look it up on YouTube – my girls will love me forever) and some curtains on the nesting boxes (apparently it helps them lay?) Would also like to build a crushed eggshell/oyster shell dispenser this summer. I usually put it in a dish on the ground but they go crazy and spread it all over the run. A dispenser will be much neater.
See you tomorrow!


text: As previously mentioned here, I'm on Facebook and likely to say yes to Friend requests from Winterbirth readers. That's old news. Now, in our continuing mission to explore the new worlds of the internet frontier, Winterbirth has its own Facebook page. Yes, why bother with the author when you can now go directly to the crux of things and make friends with (or in this case 'become a fan of') a book. It's got all the usual stuff Facebookers will be familiar with: pictures, discussion board, news items, blog feeds, links to extract from the book etc. etc. Quite neat. No idea whether it will appeal to people or not, but if you like Winterbirth, go along and have a look, maybe sign up as a fan (or, as I like to think of it, 'moral support'). If there's enough interest, there might be some Facebook-exclusive stuff that shows up there eventually.

Give your Blade Chroma camera drone the power it needs to perform at its highest level. Produced using the best LiPo technology available and bred from our 15-year history, the Venom Drone 3S 7100mAh 11.1V lithium battery is engineered specifically for the Blade Chroma as the perfect replacement or upgrade battery.
With a precision fit polymer case, 800mAh of additional capacity, 5C fast charge capability and legendary quality, trust your next flight to Venom. Venom Drone batteries come backed by our world class, U.S. based customer service team and our unbeatable Limited Lifetime Battery Replacement Plan. Power your Passion, with the Venom Drone 3S 7100mAh 11.1V LiPo battery.
DO: Use a charger that is specifically designed to charge Li-Po batteries. Using chargers that are not Li-Po-specific can be an extreme fire hazard.
DO: Li-Pos don't develop memory or voltage depression characteristics like Ni-Cds. Charge them without the worry of cycling or discharging them first.
DO: Store Li-Pos at least partially charged. Li-Pos will maintain their performance levels over time, even during non-use, much better than Ni-Cds, and there's no need to cycle them.
DON'T: Never fully discharge your Li-Po battery pack. Most electronic speed controls have a voltage cutoff that will prevent over-discharging the battery, but were designed for Ni-Cd & Ni-MH batteries. Be sure that your ESC features the proper Li-Po cut off voltage of 3V per cell (6V for 2-cell packs, 9V for 3-cell packs and so on). Discharging a Li-Po cell beyond its critical minimum voltage will cause damage to the battery.
DON'T: Shorting a Li-Po pack for even an instant can cause damage to the battery. Whether the pack has been shorted when new, while adding or changing the connector, when fully charged or fully discharged, the pack should not be charged without extreme caution. Be sure to take care when soldering connectors and during handling or charging to prevent shorts.
DON'T: If you have a crash and the battery is damaged, don't put the battery in your car or house immediately after a crash. It's possible that a chemical reaction can take place in the damaged battery that could cause a fire. Put the battery in a safe place for at least one hour.
Li-Po packs are available in 2- and 3-cell varieties (Thunder Power packs are also available in 4-cell and 5-cell models). Each cell in the pack has a nominal voltage of 3.7V and multi-cell packs are wired in series.
2-cell pack = 7.4V
3-cell pack = 11.1V
4-cell pack = 14.8V
5-cell pack = 18.5V
A "C" or "current" rating indicates the maximum recommended average discharge current for that pack and is used to help you determine the maximum discharge rate. To determine the maximum discharge rate, multiply the "C" rating by the pack capacity (i.e. 1900mAh cell x 6C rating = maximum discharge rate of 11,400mA or 11.4A).
The "S" number indicates the number of cells in series. For instance, 2S indicates a 2 series (2-cell) pack.
Larger packs use the "P" number to indicate the number of cells in parallel. For instance 3S2P indicates the pack is built with 2 cells in parallel, then 3 sets of the 2 parallel cells are joined in series.
Li-Po batteries require a very different charge method than Ni-Cd or Ni-MH cells and can catch fire if charged with a standard, non-Li-Po charger. Li-Po batteries do not "peak" when fully charged and require a "constant current/constant voltage" capable charger.
JST connectors have become the standard on many electronic speed controls and chargers for slow flyer and park flyer applications. While it's true that the JST connector does have a discharge output limitation, it is still the first choice of beginning modelers or those who do not discharge at very high rates.

Stafford Helps UNH Become Hockey Power
Associated Press Writer
Garrett Stafford had just helped Des Moines win the Junior A national championship when his hockey career was changed by a special visitor.
University of New Hampshire assistant coach Brian McCloskey came to recruit Stafford that day four years ago, a visit that helped turn the Wildcats into contenders for the national title.
The attention Stafford received from the coach, and the relationship McCloskey built with him and his family helped the young defenseman decide to go to New Hampshire.
"I couldn't say no to this guy," said Stafford, who was also recruited by Michigan State, Minnesota, Colorado College and Michigan Tech.
Stafford also had watched as New Hampshire came within one swipe of the puck from winning the national championship in 1999, losing to Maine 3-2 in overtime.
"That was one of the big things," Stafford said. "I wanted to come to a winning team with a winning attitude."
Stafford, a four-year starter on defense for the Wildcats, gets his own chance at the Frozen Four on Thursday when New Hampshire (27-7-6) play Cornell (30-4-1) in the semifinals in Buffalo. Michigan (30-9-3) and Minnesota (26-8-9) play in the other semifinal.
He'll be joined by many teammates who also chose relatively small New Hampshire over bigger schools and have helped make the Wildcats a hockey powerhouse under coach Dick Umile, who is 306-146-43 in 13 years.
The Wildcats are making their fourth trip to the Frozen Four in six years, and boast the second-winningest program behind Michigan State the past five seasons.
"We may not be as glamorous as Michigan, Wisconsin or Boston College, but UNH has a lot of great selling points," said McCloskey, who now coaches the UNH women and was named coach of the year.
"One of the best points is it has an appeal particularly to a kid who is looking for a smaller, more personal experience in school," McCloskey said.
Durham is a town with about 13,000 people _ about an hour north of Boston. Hockey is king there, with no Division I football or basketball, and success has made recruiting easier.
"At first, kids would ask `UNH? What's that?'" McCloskey said. "Now people know about UNH. Our nets have been cast pretty wide. There aren't many hockey markets you can go in and not hear about the Northeast."
But McCloskey said Umile has had the biggest impact on the growth of the program.
"It all starts with Dick," McCloskey said. "He has compassion for other people, a sense of fairness and great leadership skills. The object was to get those top kids on campus to meet Dick. They're always looking to play for someone they respect and admire."
Junior Pat Foley chose New Hampshire over Michigan and the schools in his hometown Boston.
"The reason I came to UNH? _ Umile," he said. "It just felt great sitting in front of him. He reminded me of my own father. He preaches family in the locker room."
Umile, who played at New Hampshire from 1969 to 1972 said the school has a great tradition.
"That's one thing I could always sell," Umile said, noting the 18 UNH All-Americans, one Hobey Baker winner and three other finalists for the top college hockey player, and the 29 former Wildcats who played in the NHL and dozens of others who were drafted.
New Hampshire had a winning program for 18 years under Charlie Holt, who was 347-232-18 from 1968-86, but the Wildcats fell on hard times when Holt left in 1987. Until Umile brought them back to national prominence.
"First, you've got to be a winning program," Umile said.
To get that back, he first recruited hard-nosed players who were competitive.
Then came the move from "lively Snively," an arena that looked like a large Quonset hut, to the new Whittemore Center in 1995.
"We went from 3,500 to 6,500," Umile said. "The Whittemore Center took us to another level."
It is one of the finest arenas in the country, and the Wildcats fill it every game with screaming fans as one of the top college hockey draws in the country.
"Recruits see the excitement hockey has," Umile said. "Everybody gets excited. It's fun for everybody."
It worked on junior goaltender Mike Ayers.
"Once a player sees a game here," he said, "it's tough to say no."

Mayor Giuliani thinks fans of "The Seagull" who got drenched on opening night deserve a rain check to see the summer's hottest show – just like he's getting.
"They all lined up, got their tickets. You have to try and recreate it for them the way you do at a baseball game," Giuliani said yesterday.
But the Public Theater is sticking by its policy not to hand out replacement tickets – although producer George C. Wolfe gave everyone an impromptu promise to find a rain date.
The mayor and gal pal Judith Nathan were among hundreds of VIPs who were rained out of the production of the Chekhov classic on Sunday night.
As The Post's Page Six reported yesterday, the Public Theater offered seats at a future show to celebrities, subscribers and sponsors who braved stormy skies.
But the 400 members of the hoi polloi who managed to get one of the rare Delacorte Theater ducats after waiting in line all night are out of luck.
The theater's executive director, Fran Reiter said the Public has a 46-year policy not to replace regular tickets when rain cancels a show.
But the theater has to give something extra to the bigwigs who support the free plays in Central Park, which cost about $3 million every summer.
"They're in a different category," Reiter said. Hizzoner agreed. "It's very fair because I want to see 'The Seagull' and I'm the mayor," Giuliani said, laughing.

RP veterans get $198M
Stimulus package somewhat fulfills wartime promise
MANILA, Philippines—The US Congress approved on Friday the stimulus bill, a $787-billion package of tax cuts and fresh spending to salvage the broken American economy, handing US President Barack Obama his biggest political victory yet.
The bill contains a provision recognizing the military service of Filipino veterans of World War II and granting a tax-free lump sum of $15,000 to those who are based in the United States and $9,000 to those living in the Philippines.
The Department of Foreign Affairs estimates the number of surviving Filipino veterans at 18,000-20,000, of whom 13,000 are based in the Philippines.
More than 250,000 Filipinos served alongside US soldiers to defend the Philippines from the 1941 Japanese invasion and resist the subsequent Japanese occupation.
The US government had promised Filipinos they could qualify for full US veterans' benefits if they served. But after the war, the US Congress passed the Rescission Act of 1946, stripping Filipino veterans of their status as US veterans.
This denied Filipinos the benefits they were promised.
Since then, Filipino veterans have campaigned for recognition as US veterans to receive benefits.
"Despite America's economic challenges, the US Congress voted to correct a historic wrong and incorporate the lump-sum benefit for our veterans," President Macapagal-Arroyo said in a statement issued in Manila.
Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye, a longtime supporter of Filipino veterans, had earlier said the stimulus measure would provide $198 million for one-time payments to the Filipinos.
Despite Obama's early bipartisan goals, Republican opposition was nearly unanimous to the $787-billion package of tax cuts, aid to hard-hit Americans, and investment in infrastructure, education and energy.
Conservatives in both houses of the US Congress have been relentless critics, arguing that the plan is filled with wasteful spending and that greater tax cuts would be more effective in creating jobs.
Told that no House Republican backed the measure on Friday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs reacted by citing another number—"3.5 million jobs that we look forward to saving or creating."
The stimulus bill includes spending on infrastructure projects, expanded unemployment benefits, aid for small businesses and billions to help strapped states.
The much touted tax break for middle- and working-class Americans survived but was scaled back.
Obama also won money for two other administration priorities—information technology in health care, and "green jobs" to make buildings more energy-efficient and reduce the United States' reliance on foreign oil.
The final details of the bill included the drafting of precise language on trade.
The House included a "Buy America" restriction forbidding the use of foreign steel and other products on infrastructure projects funded in the bill. Negotiators were largely going with a Senate version that is much less restrictive, saying the US government would abide by its international trade commitments.
The bill's approval caps an early period of accomplishment for the Democrats, who won control of the White House and expanded their majorities in Congress in the November elections.
Since taking office on Jan. 20, Obama has signed legislation extending government-financed health care to millions of lower-income children who lack it, a bill that President George W. Bush twice vetoed.
Obama has also put his signature on a measure making it easier for workers to sue their employers for alleged job discrimination, effectively overturning a ruling by the Supreme Court's conservative majority. With reports from Cynthia D. Balana in Manila, AFP, Inquirer wires

Mitchell Page
Mitchell Otis Page (October 15, 1951 – March 12, 2011) was a Major League Baseball player. He finished second to Hall of Famer Eddie Murray in American League Rookie of the Year balloting when he came up with the Oakland Athletics in 1977.

Page played the role of the California Angels first baseman, "Abascal," in the 1994 Disney movie Angels in the Outfield.[1]
Early yearsEdit
Page was born in Los Angeles, California. He originally drafted out of Centennial High School in Compton, California by the A's in the fourth round of the 1970 Major League Baseball Draft, but chose instead to attend Compton Community College. After transferring to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the third round of the 1973 Major League Baseball Draft.
After hitting 43 home runs and driving in 173 runs with a .292 batting average over two seasons in the Pirates' farm system, the A's finally acquired Page on March 15, 1977, along with Tony Armas, Doc Medich, Doug Bair, Dave Giusti and Rick Langford for Phil Garner, Chris Batton and Tommy Helms.[2]
Oakland A'sEdit
Immediately upon joining his new club, Page assumed the job of everyday left fielder, and showed poise with a promising career ahead of him when he batted .307 with 21 home runs and 75 runs batted in for the Oakland Athletics in his rookie year. He collected nine first place votes to Murray's twelve to finish second in voting for the AL Rookie of the Year Award.
Page had a respectable 1978 season, batting .285 with seventeen home runs and 70 RBIs. He got into a contract dispute with A's owner Charlie Finley during Spring training 1979, and wound up getting suspended by the owner for refusing to play in exhibition games.[3] He was used as the designated hitter during the regular season as injuries had limited his range in the outfield. He produced just a .247 batting average with nine home runs and 42 RBIs in his new role.
Page batted just .146 with four home runs and thirteen RBIs in the first half of the strike shortened 1981 season. When play resumed in August, Page saw just three more at-bats for the rest of the season, spending most of his time with the triple A Tacoma Tigers. The A's won the first half of the season; Page was kept off the roster for 1981 American League Division Series against the Kansas City Royals and the 1981 American League Championship Series against the New York Yankees.[4] Page spent most of 1982 with Tacoma and 1983 on the disabled list.
Pittsburgh PiratesEdit
Page was released by the A's during Spring training 1984. He signed a minor league deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates shortly afterwards, and in twelve at bats, hit .333, with three walks as a pinch hitter in August. After spending all of 1985 with Pittsburgh's Triple-A affiliate in Hawaii, he was released.
In 673 games over 8 seasons, Page compiled a .266 batting average (560-for-2104) with 297 runs, 72 home runs and 259 RBI.
Coaching careerEdit
Page returned to Tacoma as their hitting coach from 1992 through 1994, and served as first base coach for the Kansas City Royals from 1995 to 1997.
He accepted a job with the St. Louis Cardinals as hitting coach for the Memphis Redbirds in 1998. From there, he moved to minor league hitting coordinator in 1999. Midway through the 2001 season, he was promoted to the St. Louis Cardinals as hitting coach. He remained with the club through the 2004 World Series, but left the post immediately afterwards to enter an alcohol treatment facility near his Oakland, California home.[5] The Cards batted just .190 in the World Series against the Boston Red Sox.
Page returned to baseball as minor league hitting instructor for the Washington Nationals in 2005, and became the major league hitting coach in 2006.[6] Page left the job in May 2007 due to a relapse of his alcoholism. He returned to the organization later in the year as a roving minor league instructor.[7] He rejoined the Cardinals' organization, and began 2010 as a coach with the Quad Cities River Bandits, but left in May due to "personal reasons."[8]
Page died in his sleep on March 12, 2011, at the age of 59. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.[9]

Recent events worldwide have made disaster preparedness and disaster communication to the public a crucial concern. September 11th, the Indian Ocean tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and other mega-disasters have highlighted not only a woeful lack of community awareness of vulnerability but also the absence of a clear protocol for what to do as events unfold. The first book dedicated solely to the topic of pre-disaster communication, Communicating Emergency Preparedness: Strategies for Creating a Disaster Resilient Public presents the best ways to inform communities about disaster risk factors, response plans, and emergency procedures without fomenting panic or paranoia.
A public awareness campaign is the critical tool to help communities prepare themselves and to mitigate the human and economic impact of disasters. The authors provide an overview and history of public disaster preparedness education and then proceed to explore risk management and the development of a campaign strategy. They include specific instruction on how those charged with developing these programs can obtain funding from donors, foundations, and government grants.
Real Examples of Successful Programs
The second half of the book features a series of case studies which identify various public awareness campaigns that have been successfully conducted in different communities. The text provides program facts and contact information for those who designed and executed the campaigns to enable communities to model their own efforts based on what has worked in the past.
Recognizing that knowledge is the best defense, this comprehensive, practical resource provides public administration officials, emergency managers, evacuation coordinators, and community leaders at the local and national level with the background and tools needed to plan, design, and carry out effective public disaster preparedness campaigns.

Although written with an emergency management focus, Communicating Emergency Preparedness provides public relations and communications information that can be easily used in any field of public safety or public service. ... this book is a quick and easy read that is well organized and jam packed with resources and references for further research. The book provides sidebars with tips for success and information, such as Web addresses and links. Each chapter ends with a list of additional publications and sources for more information. At the end of the book, there are roughly 20 pages of case studies, sample public education plans and an Appendix that lists organizations, websites, and links to downloadable guides on public education and communicating with the public. ... Communicating Emergency Preparedness would be a beneficial addition to any public safety professional's library, but especially for senior-level individuals tasked with some level of preparedness or public education.
—Bob Smith writing in Public Safety Communications, 76(1):49
In Communicating Emergency Preparedness, Mr. Coppola and Ms. Maloney embark on an ambitious attempt to connect academic concepts in several fields to actionable strategies for public communication for emergency preparedness. ... the authors include a full chapter on Program Support, from funding sources and grant prospects to partners able to provide in-kind resources and even guidance on how a project team may learn to request support during the flow of the campaign. This piece de resistance may be just the ticket to help support the practitioner looking to convert the concepts of communication science and market research into actionable project planning to develop successful preparedness communication campaigns.
—Steven C. Weiss, PhD, writing in the Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Vol. 6 [2009], No. 1, Article 70

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would soon push for full funding of his promised wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, which could spark budget battles in a Congress fractured over his immigration policy.
"Trump is lying on immigration, lying about crime and lying about the laws of California. Certainly don't help us much on trade".
But the clip omits the context: Trump is talking with Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims who is complaining that ICE has fewer powers compared to other law enforcement agencies and that this makes it really hard for them to talk to gang members etc.in jail.
During Wednesday's session, Trump thanked the officials, saying they had "bravely resisted California's deadly and unconstitutional sanctuary state laws".
The president's comments reportedly came in response to a California official's remarks on MS-13 gang members.
"We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in, we're stopping a lot of them", Trump said in response to a statement about the MS-13 gang.
"Mexico does nothing for us, they do nothing for us", he said. "Part of the problem that we have is our economy is so strong that people are pouring up to get into our economy".
Trump signed an executive order in January 2017 that denies federal money to sanctuary cities and directs the attorney general to take legal action against them, including the possibility of removing legal protection from undocumented immigrants.
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best", he said then. We're looking to bring them in. "That Democrats gave us that law and they don't want to do anything about it".
"We have companies moving back into the United States like never before".
WASHINGTON (AP) - In President Donald Trump's former life as a casino owner, he might have cheered Monday's ruling from the Supreme Court that struck down a federal law that barred every state but Nevada from allowing betting on most sporting events.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., issued the warning, said a second person who was in the room and spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the private conversation. She, like others, said the president and his policies were far more popular in the state than people realize. Trump has made securing the southern border a focal point of his presidency, with plans to beef up border security and create a wall as key components.

Leaders of Azerbaijan's main opposition parties pledged Monday to boycott a snap presidential election which is expected to extend the autocratic rule of President Ilham Aliyev.
"The Popular Front party and the National Council of the Opposition took a decision to boycott the snap presidential election," the Popular Front chairman, Ali Kerimli, told AFP.
"The conditions for a democratic and competitive election in Azerbaijan are not in place, and there is no independent media," he said.
"Opposition parties operate in a semi-clandestine manner," Kerimli said, adding that they would stage protests against the vote in March.
The 56-year-old strongman stunned his oil-rich country last week when he called a surprise snap presidential vote for April 11 -- six months ahead of schedule -- without providing an explanation.
Azerbaijan was initially set to hold the vote on October 17.
The ruling Yeni Azerbaijan party has said that Aliyev will run for a fourth term, a decision that has sparked strong criticism from dissidents.
Opposition politicians have said the decision to hold early elections was aimed at shortening the campaign period and hampering the opposition's efforts to prevent vote rigging.
Isa Gambar, the leader of Musavat party, told AFP his party "refuses to participate in the election because the authorities will falsify its results."
The Alternative Republican Movement -- whose leader Ilgar Mamedov is serving a jail term over charges he had denounced as politically motivated –- also said in a statement that it would boycott the vote.
- Opposition under pressure -
Aliyev was first elected president in 2003, after the death of his father Heydar Aliyev, a former KGB officer and communist-era leader who had ruled Azerbaijan with an iron fist since 1993.
He was re-elected in 2008 and 2013 in polls that were denounced by opposition parties as rigged.
In 2009, Aliyev amended the country's constitution so that he could run for an unlimited number of presidential terms, in a move criticised by rights advocates.
Cementing his family's decades-long grip on power, the president last year appointed his wife Mehriban Aliyeva as First Vice President.
In 2016, Azerbaijan adopted controversial constitutional amendments extending the president's term in office from five to seven years.
The changes drew criticism from the Council of Europe constitutional law experts as "severely upsetting the balance of powers" and giving the president "unprecedented" authority.
The Azerbaijani government has faced strong international criticism for routinely harassing and jailing those opposed to Aliyev's regime.
Aliyev denies any rights abuses.

We are coming up on the 200th year after Darwin's birth, and 150 since he first published The Origin of the Species. Since that time the western world has been subjected to one of the biggest and most sustained propaganda campaigns of all time in an attempt to indoctrinate mankind into darwinism.
For the past 150 years, in almost every classroom, every university, every hall of learning, every mass media outlet, and every government programme the evolutionist paradigm has been assumed, pushed, propagated, and promoted. So militant has been the offensive that evolutionism has been elevated to where it is synonymous with science and reason and intelligence. Not to believe, adopt, and promote evolutionism either overtly or indirectly is regarded by definition as being obscurantist, unscientific, irrational, and ignorantly superstitious.
The billions of dollars spent on promoting the theory is beyond estimation--not to mention the man hours of effort. The sheer comprehensiveness of the campaign, the breadth and depth of the propaganda consensus, and the magnitude of the effort, has been unparalleled in history.
What has been the outcome? Well, The Guardian recently raised eyebrows with the assertion that half of Britons do not believe in evolution. This is the result of a recent survey undertaken in that country. Over a century of relentless propaganda and inculcation and still half the population thinks it's either rubbish or unlikely! Of the 50 percent who do believe in evolution, half of them think it only probably true, which means they think it is possibly wrong. We quote:
Half of British adults do not believe in evolution, with at least 22% preferring the theories of creationism or intelligent design to explain how the world came about, according to a survey.
The poll found that 25% of Britons believe Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is "definitely true", with another quarter saying it is "probably true". Half of the 2,060 people questioned were either strongly opposed to the theory or confused about it.
The Rescuing Darwin survey, published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species, found that around 10% of people chose young Earth creationism – the belief that God created the world some time in the last 10,000 years – over evolution.
About 12% preferred intelligent design, the idea that evolution alone is not enough to explain the structures of living organisms. The remainder were unsure, often mixing evolution, intelligent design and creationism together. The survey was conducted by the polling agency ComRes on behalf of the Theos thinktank.
This situation is not isolated to Britain as if the inhabitants of that country were somehow afflicted with implacable ignorance. Similar results have emerged from surveys in the United States. According to one science reporter at Physorg.com
Public opinion surveys consistently have shown that Americans are deeply divided over evolution. The most recent Gallup poll on the issue, in June 2007, found that 49 percent of those surveyed said they believed in evolution and 48 percent said they didn't. Those percentages have stayed almost even for at least 25 years. . . .
A Harris poll published last December found that more people believe in a devil, hell and angels than in evolution.
We are reminded at this point of the relentless suppression of the Christian faith and the promotion of "scientific atheism" in the USSR and Eastern Europe for most of the twentieth century. At the end of it, after it had all come to an end, the majority of the population in the disintegrating Soviet Union still professed belief in a deity.
Why has evolutionist propaganda failed so miserably to win over the population, despite the extent, breadth, and length of the effort? There is no doubt a cluster of reasons.
First in importance (although regrettably not in influence) is the internal irrationality and illogic of the theory. Any theory that seriously proposes structure, pattern, order, and natural laws while advocating at the same time that the universe (being, matter, dimensions, time, space, existence, etc) is radically random and the product of brute chance, is so internally contradictory that it is doomed to failure from the outset. It cannot even get to first base, let alone past it. To even attempt to propound the theory rationally is to contradict it.
Secondly, people over the long haul find the arrogance of evolution protagonists tiresome. They are forever talking about "facts" without ever being prepared to examine their assumptions or their theories of fact. They assert the science is settled--and when challenged their modus operandi is to assert more loudly. They name call and demean their intellectual opponents--engaging in ad hominem attacks.
All of these failures in scientific rationality are on display even in the Guardian's article.
A spokesman for Sense about Science, an independent charitable trust, said it was important for scientists and educators to disentangle religious belief from evidence.
James Williams, a lecturer at Sussex University, said: "Creationists ask if people believe in evolution. Evolution is a theory and a fact. You accept it because of the evidence. What the creationists have done is put a cloak of pseudo-science to wrap up their religious belief."
Creationists are "pseudo-scientists"; they deceive by "wrapping up their religious beliefs in cloaks," etc. Moreover, in the quotation above, we have just another manifestation of "the science is settled, shut up" approach to one's opponents.
The theory-evidence-fact claim is pretentious. Evolutionism is a cosmogony--it endeavours to explain how life came into existence. Since the scientists were not present and their laboratories were not functioning at the time life came into existence, all they can do is project from the present backwards, which is inherently speculative. All rigorous scientists know that extrapolation (either back or forward in time) is a dangerously tentative and speculative activity. The best that one can say is extrapolation may or may not provide the truth. But no. The evolutionist propagandists insist that there is no speculation here: only hard evidence and the facts, baby. The self-blindness and the pretension is breathtaking.
Actually, when you think about it, the allegation against creationists in the quotation above is actually misleading. Creationists do not usually wrap up their religious faith--they are most often overt and clear and honest about it. But the allegation is far more fair and accurate when applied to evolutionists, for it is they who put up a cloak of pseudo-science in which to wrap up their religious beliefs. The "science" of evolutionism is nothing more than speculation and endless extrapolation into the past and therefore is pseudo-science. Moreover, beliefs about origins are inherently religious insofar as they purport to deal with the ultimate questions of being itself. Therefore evolutionism is inescapably religious. It is flat out dishonest not to acknowledge that this is the case.
The non-scientific status of evolutionism can be demonstrated another way. Ask any evolutionist whether evolution as a scientific hypothesis could be falsified. (This is a loaded question, since potential falsifiability is a put forward as a distinguishing characteristic of genuine science.) Most evolutionists will then happily describe conditions or experimental circumstances which would allegedly falsify their theory.
But if the world is radically unpredictable, why would these unexpected outcomes disprove the theory? After all, in a world "ruled" by chance--as evolutionists allege--anything is possible. In the end, evolutionism cannot be falsified for it "accounts" for even the most random of outcomes. (It is like the predictive climate models now being employed by another pseudo-science. Whatever happens to the climate it is trumpeted as "proof" the world is warming due to man-released carbon dioxide.)
So, people get tired of the hectoring and the bludgeoning tactics employed by evolutionists. It seems that they might protest too much. We believe that this has probably led to the current disquiet over Darwinianism.
Further, we live in an age when authority is pervasively distrusted. People have been told for over a century now that nirvana and paradise is just around the corner, and that all they need to do is elect this or that political party to government, and all will be well. The government can and will solve every problem. As the decades pass, this becomes more and more obviously untrue. The outcome is a widespread distrust of "official" positions. (Hence the plague of conspiracy theorists and conspiracies now abroad.) Evolutionism has been the official position for so long that it has begun to suffer from the pervasive scepticism attributed to what is perceived to be government propaganda.
So, all evolutionists can do now is plead for more time. One hundred years of relentless propagandising and active suppression of other views have not been enough. If evolutionism is so "factual" and so "obvious" and so "self-evident" and so "true" and so supported by "evidence", why might this be the case? "Well", one imagines the answer would come back, "we just need more time".
Meanwhile, the theory of evolution itself is mutating and changing. It was reconstructed and reshaped around the middle of last century as more and more evidence made original Darwinianism less and less believable. The revision was called the "Modern Synthesis" and people began to speak of neo-Darwinians. Now, there is talk of another major revision being needed--a kind of Modern Synthesis 2.0. Presumably we will now have to speak of neo-neo-Darwinians.
Revisions of scientific theory--even radical revisions--are not unknown. Consider, for example, the move from Newtonian mechanics to quantum mechanics. Newtonian theories now die the death of a thousand qualifications. What is far less normal is that under a revised theory people would still cling to the old. You don't find many physicists still calling themselves "Newtonians" any longer or asserting that Newtonian mechanics are a "fact".
Yet the evolutionists still do. This is a further evidence of how religiously committed evolutionists are. But, such limited success after such a long time. . . .
Another two hundred years, anyone?

Product Description:
the exact same tools he used…"
the #1 Team in Keller Williams, and the #12 Team in the U.S. for Sales Volume (in 2014)
Whether you have a large team or are just starting to create one, there's always a gap between where you are right now and where you dream of being…
The question is, do you have the systems in place to close that gap?
The truth is, if you don't come from a strong business and sales background, there can be a very steep learning curve to building a Champion Team. It's definitely not easy even for ones who have, and there are some specific systems you have to have in place.
You could call these "pieces to the puzzle", and if you're missing even one or two of them, your production can be slowed or even completely stalled…
That's exactly what happened to my good friend Mark Spain about 8 years ago: he was missing some of these pieces and was stuck at around 300 transactions/year.
an additional 700+ transactions…"
Mark hit a ceiling in his production until he made the decision to stop being at the mercy of trial & error. He decided invest in the future of his business with coaching & training. With the right systems in his hands, all that was left to do was for him to start using them. The results speak for themselves…
Just take a look at what he accomplished with the exact same tools you can now get access to. Just imagine what you could achieve with them in your own business:
Real-World Results (2014):
|#1 Expansion Team Worldwide, #1 Team Southeast – Keller Williams International, Inc.
|#12 Team in the United States in Sales Volume (up 60 spots from #72 in 2013) – Wall Street Journal Top 1,000 REALTORS
|#1 Re-Sale Team in the United States in Closed Transactions – Wall Street Journal Top 1,000 REALTORS

|…and more
The list goes on but I think you get the picture. If you want to start implementing the same tools, scripts, and systems he used to potentially increase your production by 200% or even 300%, make sure to keep reading the rest of the page.
Long-story short, Mark and I decided to do something that's rarely seen in our industry: we've paired up together as coach & student to give you, what I believe to be, the most powerful course on teams ever created…

The Pentagon is doling out $29 million to develop software-based secretaries that understand their bosses' habits and can carry out their wishes automatically.Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science will get $7 million to build a Perceptive Assistant that Learns, or PAL, a kind of digital flunky that can schedule meetings, maintain websites and reply to routine e-mail on its own. A total of $22 million is going to SRI International, Dejima and a coalition of other researchers for the construction of a wartime PAL.The efforts could make leaders in the boardroom and on the battlefield more efficient, says the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA. But some defense analysts are finding it hard to see the military value in such a system.Digital assistants have been a DARPA focus of late. The controversial, all-encompassing LifeLog project is also supposed to lead to the construction of a computerized helper. LifeLog's goal is to digitally capture and categorize every aspect of people's lives, from the TV shows they watch to the places they visit. The more information the assistant has about its boss, the argument goes, the more useful it can be."The idea is to develop a system that will adapt to the user, instead of the other way around," said Antoine Blondeau, president of Dejima, a software development firm in San Jose, California, that is working on the PAL effort.Check out my Wired News story for more on DARPA's new electronic helpers.
