34 Comments on "Ron Paul's Great Speech Against TSA Abuse (video)"
I was a precinct manager for Ron Paul's Presidential campaign in 2008. What real proof does anyone have that he may be an insider? I would be greatly dismayed if he is.
i'm sure he got some kind of ultimatum or something after this? any1 know anything?
He's playing out the Hegalean philosophy. They play both sides against the middle(us).
I am surprised he is republican, and I am surprised they let him in?
We can only hope he is for real.
"I have, therefore, chosen this time and place to discuss a topic on which ignorance too often abounds and the truth too rarely perceived. And that is the most important topic on earth: peace. What kind of peace do I mean and what kind of a peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, and the kind that enables men and nations to grow, and to hope, and build a better life for their children — not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women, not merely peace in our time but peace in all time." – JFK
I Foresee him being shut-up by the illuminant REAL SOON
isn't ron paul one of them too? its like 'oh mann no one knows about us..' oh hire someone to talk about us haha
i love ron paul. lol
I donot trust him sorry
every time i read an article about or see/hear something will Ron Paul, i ask myself, "how is this man still alive, saying and doinig such things?!"
as for his supposed Freemason connections, sometimes these handshake images i see with various people are a bit up to interpretation, i know every handshake i share with someone is unique, albeit not photographed. just a thought.
p.s. would love to see VC put many of George Carlin's sentiments/background through the scrubbers–incendiary from start to finish, though depression informed some of the latter work, there is some objectivity in the thinking about politics that is very dangerous to the keepers. it is often safest to say the most dangerous things AS A JOKE.
the huge difference between George Carlin and Ron Paul is that Carlin died for saying the truth. Ron Paul on the other hand is rich and comfortable in his seat. I understand everybody wishes he's the real deal but unfortunately it doesn't happen in real life to have a rich politician fighting for people's rights and justice. It just doesn't happen anymore.
It can also be likely that some might join these organizations just to be an insider. While they may look like they are part of the organization, they are trying to take it down from the inside. Others may look like they are thinking for themselves, but they are mired in the orgaization even more. I'm hoping Ron Paul is of the first kind. If its the first case, then if he goes too far, we might end up having an assassination. The Illuminati don't want anyone to disrupt thier plans, so we shall see if Ron Paul can make some positive changes. Here's hoping.
I do hope that Ron's bill gets passed, seriously… this TSA security theater needs to be overhauled. Ever since 9-11 we have allowed the government to cower us and make us think that all terrorists are MacGuyvers capable of taking down a plane with a paper clip, some rubber bands and a pen! And with that they implement these stupid ass "security implements that sounds like a premise for a cheap p**n movie.
we cant say anything,they might have planned that way so that people find the TSA offensive and wanted to raise a hero or else there will be something behind it.i am sure this is planned.
As much as i have liked Ron Paul and his rants the above comment is proberbly very true. When keeping a keen eye for Freemasons and other elite society members allways watch the handshakes and hand gestures that are made. i have seen Ron Paul on more than one occasion give a freemasons hand shake to other known masons. not to mention doing the bloody horned hand symbol. sorry people.
I have noticed that too. And as hestitant as it makes me, I don't see anyone else willing to take on the establishment in the manner he is. I am keeping my eye open for someone but have yet to find one. Keeping all that in mind…….maybe just maybe sometimes the snake starts eating it's own tail. JFK did…….here's hoping! As of today I see no better option for 2012. That doesn't mean someone else might rise to the occasion. Will be an interesting couple of years coming up to say the least. And I hate to break it to you, but in everything I have studied about FM…..I feel safe in saying about 90 percent of the guys and gals in the district of criminals are in the brother and sisterhood……many at blood pact level. Time to get them out!!!!
Sorry to rain on your parade but Ron Paul is their man. He's there only to prove democracy 'works'. He just barks, never bites..
Ron Paul is my hero also.
thank you! 😉
I totally agree with ya. I had a holiday flight scheduled, but because of this crazy TSA crap i opted to drive the 700 miles. … and as for this mandatory passport nonsence to fly in the states..? just another way to keep track of the population and monitor us.
it just seems that everyday more and more information surfaces. Im starting to feel hopeless.
Don't feel hopeless, I know when I first got reading all Vigilant's articles and learning what was happening behind our backs I felt depressed and betrayed. I felt like my whole existence on this planet for for me to get dumbed down and controlled. I could not, and still can not believe what is happening right in front of our eyes and the world has no clue. But there is hope, We have Jesus, they do not. Enough said
Excellent reply! Jesus has all power!!!
i just wanted to let you know that i feel your pain, or have. At times it has almost felt like a death in the family and has taken days at a time to process. What I see now though, is that knowledge is power and we are taking it back. The growing pains are a good thing even though it doesn't feel like it at the time. Just do what you can, in your sphere of influence. One open mind and heart at a time. Less overwhelming that way. You will start seeing victories everywhere.
Please don't feel hopeless my brothers and sisters. Instead be VIGILANT and demand for the truth.
The bible says "Due to lack of of knowledge my people perish". We do not seek for the truth instead we accept everything the evil rulers of this world tells us. They are getting their orders direct from SATAN and passing it on to us. NO MORE!. Thanks to vigilantCitizen I've started looking at the world diffrently I no longer accept what the media tells me and no longer tolerate fear to rule my life. JAWEH is greater than these mortal beings and in his own time he will strike and destroy these evildoers.
In the meantime we have to desire and search for the truth, and I believe that Yaweh will open our hearts to find it.
Ignorance is not an Escuse! Wake up People and start asking questions!!!!!
I was watching this earlier on youtube. It's true what he's saying. @ Hope he was always my hero.
I was watching this earlier on youtube. It's true what he's saying.
opt out… and if people have to fly that day, then they all should go up to the gates and ticket managers and say that they want no patdown and no body scan.. and if they refuse then full refunds or give them their money back.
However, if anyone has read 1984, I think the true reason why the government is antagonizsing the travel sector so much is that they want to stop travel altogether. It is much easier to have a tolitarian government, when travel is much greatly restriced amongst its citizens. Look at North Korea or China.
So I feel like ultimately, the U.S,. government wouldn't mind the airline industry collapsing.
YASS! I don't trust ANY politician, but this was GOOD!!! Thank you Ron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! …..already.

Jamie Moyer survived spring training and made the Rockies' rotation, yet the question lingers: Will he be able to pitch every fifth day at age 49?
"I don't question it," said Moyer, who pitches against the Giants today at Coors Field in his second start of the season. "I would rather put my energy and my focus into what I am supposed to do.
"I am preparing myself for every start, and if I run into a glitch here and there, then I am going to have to deal with it."
With another victory, Moyer would become the oldest pitcher to win a major-league game. The left-hander failed in his first attempt Saturday at Houston. Moyer's location was not great, but the Astros' Jordan Schafer, who crushed a home run off Moyer, believes Moyer still has enough good stuff left to confound hitters.
"People are surprised by how many people he jams," Schafer said. "But you just don't see guys flipping up 78 mph fastballs all the time. You're trying to wait, wait, wait. A lot of times, you wait too long.
"After a guy like that comes out and you see a guy come in throwing 96, it looks like 106."
Pomeranz tuneup. Lefty Drew Pomeranz, who pitches Sunday against the Diamondbacks at Coors Field, didn't have quite the command he hoped for Tuesday in a minor-league tuneup with Double-A Tulsa. But he said he's ready for his season debut with the Rockies.
"I feel good. I feel strong," he said via text. "My arm's ready."
Pomeranz pitched four scoreless innings against Corpus Christi in a Texas League game, allowing four hits and striking out four on 77 pitches (48 were strikes). He was most pleased with getting out of a one-out, bases-loaded jam by striking out two.
The Rockies want to limit Pomeranz to 160 to 170 innings this season, but manager Jim Tracy said Pomeranz won't have a strict pitch count during Sunday's game.
Lucky catch. Rockies pitcher Jeremy Guthrie was looking for someone to play long toss Tuesday at Coors Field, so he tweeted a message from his Twitter account @JGuthrie46.
Woody Roseland, a student at Metro State, replied first and got the gig at an empty ballpark.
It turns out Roseland is a five-time cancer survivor whose leg was amputated. He shares his story of hope as a public speaker.
"I didn't know any of that before we met," Guthrie said Wednesday. "That was cool. Inspiring."

(Critical Survey of Literature for Students)
The complete title of Michael Drayton's long topographical poem is Poly-Olbion: Or, A Chorographicall Description of Tracts, Rivers, Mountaines, Forests, and other Parts of this renowned Isle of Great Britaine, With intermixture of the most Remarquable Stories, Antiquities, Wonders, Rarityes, Pleasures, and Commodities of the same, Digested in a Poem. Quite a bit of digesting is entailed, especially when a title page note continues, "With a Table added, for direction to those occurrences of Story and Antiquitie, whereunto the Course of the Volume easily leades not." This table is Drayton's extensive index to the proper names in the poem, and it is printed separately in volume 5 of the standard edition. The poem's title derives from the Greek poly, meaning "many," and Albion, a name for England that is related to the Greek word for "happy."
Drayton's opus comprises thirty songs—as he calls his poems—eighteen in part 1 and twelve in part 2, each preceded by a summary "argument" of twelve to twenty lines in rhymed iambic tetrameter. Each song celebrates the natural beauties and historic events of a particular region of Great Britain and is accompanied by an impressionistic map of that area. Although songs 22 and 24 go on for 1,638 and 1,320 lines, respectively, most of the songs are between 450 and 500 lines in length; the rhymed Alexandrines, or lines of iambic hexameter, are divided frequently by caesuras and split almost evenly between end-stopped and enjambed. Allusions to British history and classical myth abound, and personification becomes a reliable narrative device, notably in the pretense that it is Drayton's muse who is speaking. The term "chorography," which is no longer used, in Drayton's time commonly specified writings about topography, and several classical models of the genre were available to Drayton. Among many influences on Drayton, the Renaissance historian and antiquarian William Camden organized his Brittania (1596) by counties, as Drayton organizes this work. Part 1 of Poly-Olbion is dedicated to Prince Henry, son of the reigning British monarch, James I.
The frontispiece to Poly-Olbion, an engraving by William Hole, presents an elaborate tangle of allegorical meanings. Great Britain is personified as a woman seated within a triumphal arch. Britain holds in her right hand a scepter that signifies her power, and in her left an overflowing cornucopia symbolizes the richness of her land. The open sea behind Britain teems with ships that suggest the sea power Great Britain enjoyed under Elizabeth I, and indeed it is hard not to see the dead queen in the personified Britain. The soft folds of Britain's clothing are adorned with the peaks and valleys appropriate to a topographical poem. On the four corners of the arch appear statues of Great Britain's four conquerors: Brute, or Brutus, the legendary nephew of Aeneas; Julius Caesar; the Saxon Hengist, who conquered the land in 449; and William the Conqueror, who led the Norman triumph at Hastings in 1066, and from whom King James I traced his descent. These figures form a loose historical framework for part 1 of the poem.
Summed up broadly, Drayton's poem depicts the pre-Anglo Saxon period as the source of Great Britain's distinctive culture. The Romans and the Saxon hordes of Hengist contributed their own unique elements—for example, the Anglo Saxons brought the Christian influence—but the Normans despoiled the land by oppressing its conquered people. It is significant that, considering that part 1 appeared in the middle of James I's reign (from 1603 to 1625), Drayton concludes his short poem explicating the frontispiece with these lines: "Divorst from Him [the Roman], the Saxon sable Horse,/ Borne by sterne Hengist, wins her [Britain]: but through force/ Garding the Norman Leopards bath'd in Gules,/ She chang'd hir Love to Him, whose Line yet rules."
Each song in part 1 is followed by "illustrations," or several pages of dense notes expanding on the historical backgrounds and meanings of...
(The entire section is 1690 words.)

I often meet elders who really blow me away with the things they do – their dedication to causes, their countenance and attitude and their hard-earned wisdom. I use the term "elders" because I believe it does not imply any specific age – it simply refers to people who are "older than you" who are valued for their influence and personal accomplishments in their families, communities and in society in general. It signifies respect for those who've forged the path ahead of us. In this blog, I will introduce you to some of the fantastic elders I meet. I hope they inspire you as much as they inspire me.
Carolyn, a 55 year old grandmother, is one of six grandparents highlighted in my column this month, Grandparents on a Mission. I've known Carolyn for many years and she is one of those people who I marvel at – how does she keep on going despite all the set-backs? She founded Grandparents on the Move, a school-based support group for grandparents raising grandchildren in New Haven, CT. With up to 60 grandparents attending monthly meetings, it's one of the largest ongoing support groups I've come across.
Carolyn knows first-hand about the challenges these grandparents face – she's been raising 3 grandchildren herself for over 10 years. One is her son's child and the other two are not, but they share the same mother, who has been in and out of the criminal justice system. One child was born drug-addicted. Carolyn has struggled with enormous legal, health, emotional and lifestyle issues. "The wear and tear on your body and mind is unbelievable. I thought I was free at last and all of a sudden here comes a little child who changed everything."
Retired after 23 years in the New Haven school system, she has suffered two strokes…and yet she keeps on persevering on behalf of grandparents and grandchildren.
"We can't stop now – most of our grandchildren are still young and we still need services and help and resources – it hasn't ended yet! There will always be a new challenge – health issues, college education…"
Carolyn was determined to lead New Haven grandparents to Washington, DC to take part in national GrandRally on Capitol Hill events to raise awareness about the roles they play and their grandchildren's needs. With support from AARP CT and other local partners and businesses, they raised enough money to pile into buses and go to Washington, DC – not just for the first GrandRally in 2003, but again in 2005 and 2008.
"It changed everything – we found out we were not the only ones and we had a voice."
And this September, when the 4th national GrandRally is held on Capitol Hill, I have no doubt that Carolyn and the Grandparents on the Move will be there making their voices heard, driven by their love for their grandchildren and their passion to give them a better life.

Tiny, delicate blood vessels supply blood to your eyes. Like other vessels, they, too, can be damaged by high blood pressure:
Although the inability to have and maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction) becomes increasingly common in men as they reach age 50, it's even more likely to occur if they have high blood pressure, too. Over time, high blood pressure damages the lining of your blood vessels and causes your arteries to harden and narrow (atherosclerosis), limiting blood flow. This means less blood is able to flow to your penis. For some men, the decreased blood flow makes it difficult to achieve and maintain erections — often referred to as erectile dysfunction. The problem is fairly common, especially among men who are not treating their high blood pressure.
Women may have sexual dysfunction as a side effect of high blood pressure, as well. High blood pressure can reduce blood flow to your vagina. For some women, this leads to a decrease in sexual desire or arousal, vaginal dryness, or difficulty achieving orgasm. Improving arousal and lubrication can help. Like men, women can experience anxiety and relationship issues due to sexual dysfunction.
High blood pressure can also affect other areas of the body, leading to such problems as:
High blood pressure is usually a chronic condition that gradually causes damage over the years. But sometimes blood pressure rises so quickly and severely that it becomes a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment, often with hospitalization.
In these situations, high blood pressure can cause:

The Cowboys' Pacman Jones is still riding out his most recent suspension, but NFL Kommizzioner Roger Goodell could theoretically reinstate him this week. But let's be realistic: he won't. And Dallas coach Wade Phillips knows the score:
Phillips said that he doesn't know anything about the possibility of Pacman's indefinite suspension ending. "I really don't know," Phillips said. "When he's gone, he's gone. We don't really think about it. We're preparing the guys that I have."
Would Phillips want Pacman back if the commissioner clears him to play? "Yeah," he said. "Sure."
There you go. A ringing endorsement from the coach who's trying to keep his team afloat in a crowded playoff picture. "Do you want your Pro Bowl-caliber cornerback to return?" "Whatever, I guess."

IN a bid to help villagers with their livelihood, a group of officials from the Fisheries Department conducted a pearl farming awareness program in Wainikoro early this week.
Principal fisheries officer Northern Joji Vakawaletabua yesterday said the program was aimed at educating villagers on how to do it in a sustainable way.
"The team conducted the training on Wednesday and the villagers were educated on how to collect pearl spats for such farming," he said.
"Some villagers in Bua and Cakaudrove have embarked on pearl farming in the past years and it's about time we help farmers in Macuata because it's a way of earning high and quick income.
"The department is assisting villagers not only in this project but also in seaweed farming and other income-generating fisheries projects."
Meanwhile, villagers of Kavewa and Lakeba Island in northern Macuata continue to receive income from harvesting their seaweed farms, said Mr Vakawaletabua.
He earlier said one tonne of dried seaweed cost $800.
The department initiated seaweed farming on the two islands last year.

Welcome to Havelská Koruna
Welcome to the paradise for gourmands of Czech cuisine. The restaurant Havelská Koruna specializes in traditional Czech cuisine. The great variety of meals offered is unique not only in Prague but in the Czech Republic itself. Our customers can choose from at least 40 different meals every day. Daily menu consists of 25 dishes which are undoubtedly part of traditional Czech cooking. Our regular customers can also try other 15-20 dishes which can vary within the week. High quality Czech beer is a necessary supplement to delicious Czech meals. Tap beer 10°Gambrinus a 12° Pilsen Prazdroj are served in our restaurant.
At the front door you can see a mascot of the restaurant that is enjoying lovely taste of beer. It is a monk that found his way to the restaurant perhaps from the church of St. Havel. This beer lover drinks several pints of beer a day, normally 10°Gambrinus before payday and 12°Prazdroj afterwards.
Spacious and stylish interior, which is divided into five sections, welcomes the guest after entering the restaurant. At first there is a section of sweet dishes and salads. Then there is a section of soups, followed by a section of traditional Czech cuisine and last but not least a section of tap beer.
One of the most popular places in the restaurant is an all year round winter garden that can seat 36 people.
A roomy interior offers other 96 seats that are stylishly divided into simple compartments with 4-6 places to ensure privacy of customers.
Those, who are permanently in hurry and prefer to eat while standing, can take advantage of 40 places available.
Another priority of our restaurant is the speed of service as the dishes are served as a way comparable to fast food facilities. Upon arrival every customer receives a ticket on which all codes of consumed dishes are indicated. Total bill is paid before leaving the restaurant.
We are proud to say that our meals are highly popular, so there is a possibility of queuing during lunch time, so please do not be put off as our restaurant serves 1000-2000 customers each day. Consequently our client can be sure to get quality Czech meal for reasonable price. However, we do our best to serve most of our customers within 5 minutes. In contrast, in other restaurants this time is needed just for taking customer´s orders. Moreover, other great advantages of our system are endless possibilities of combining meals and side dishes to satisfy tastes of all our clients as everything is charged individually. This opportunity is highly used by our foreign guests. However, sometimes combinations of meals and side dishes can sound strange even to our experienced members of staff. For example dill sauce with rice, sauerkraut with chicken or roast pork with cream sauce. Furthermore, our client has a chance to see all meals and
drinks being served.
Access for wheelchair users and mothers with pushchairs is a standard facility of our restaurant as well as completely non-smoking premises. In addition, there is also fully air-conditioned environment to make our clients feel comfortable.
Look at Havelská Koruna at close quarters
I am looking forward to seeing you in our restaurant and I hope you will enjoy the meal.

One of the more frustrating aspects of the CBO analysis of the Senate immigration bill is that while it provides an estimate of the bill's impact on the size of the U.S. population, it doesn't provide much detail regarding the baseline on which it builds:
CBO estimates that, by 2023, enacting S. 744 would lead to a net increase of 10.4 million in the number of people residing in the United States, compared with the number of people projected under current law. That net increase comprises an increase of about 10.4 million permanent residents; an increase of about 1.6 million temporary workers and their dependents; and a decrease of about 1.6 million unauthorized residents. (CBO estimates that about 8 million unauthorized residents would initially gain legal status under the bill, but that change in status would not affect the size of the U.S. population.)
I assume that the net increase of 10.4 million can be attributed entirely to immigration, unless the CBO is also taking into account larger immigrant family sizes. For the sake of argument, let's say the CBO envisions that the Senate bill will lead to a net increase in the number of immigrants. This is in addition to the immigration level the CBO already anticipates in the absence of the legislation. I don't have access to the baseline number of immigrants the CBO assumes will settle in the U.S. between now and 2023, but Yuval Levin kindly provided me with a March 2011 CBO report detailing the assumptions behind the CBO's labor force projections, including its assumptions regarding immigration levels (and I'm more generally grateful to Yuval for pointing me to the volume of immigration the CBO assumes will follow from the Senate immigration bill):
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) relies on its own projections of net immigration, in which total net flows rise from about 440,000 in 2010 to more than 2.3 million in 2015, then fall to about 1.3 million by 2020. CBO's estimate for 2010 is much lower, and its projection for 2015 much higher, than are predictions from the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Census Bureau, or the Social Security Advisory Board's Technical Panel on Assumptions and Methods; the differences arise largely because CBO's projections explicitly take into account the impact of the recession and subsequent recovery, whereas the other forecasters do not. By 2020, CBO shows somewhat larger net inflows than SSA but somewhat smaller net inflows than the Census Bureau and the Technical Panel.
More details follow, but my rough guess would that the CBO is assuming that net immigration over the coming decade will be in the neighborhood of 10 million under current law. And so a net increase of 10.4 milion as a result of the immigration bill as compared to current law would mean that the U.S. immigration from 2013 to 2023 will be in excess of 20 million. I should stress that I'm not sure if my interpretation of the CBO analysis is correct. It is possible that my numbers are way off, and fortunately a number of crack reporters, including Brad Plumer of Wonkblog, are also trying to get to the bottom of this, so consider my take on this subject provisional.
The Census projects that the U.S. population in 2023 will be roughly 341 million. Let's say the CBO is assuming that the population will instead be 351 million, of which 20 million reflects post-2013 immigration. This means that 5.7 percent of the U.S. population will consist of post-2013 immigrants as of 2023. By way of comparison, Matt Yglesias of Slate recently wrote on the historical data concerning how the foreign-born share of the U.S. population has changed over time. The foreign-born share peaked in 1890 at 14.8 percent and it was at its nadir in 1970, when it hit 4.7 percent. It has been increasing dramatically in the decades since, and it reached 12.9 percent as of 2010. The CBO anticipates that immigrants who will have arrived since 2013 will represent a larger share of the U.S. population in 2023 than all immigrants in 1970 or 1960 (5.4 percent), and only a slightly smaller share than the 1980 number (6.2 percent).
It would be foolish to simply add this 5.7 percent to the 12.9 percent 2010 share. But it seems reasonable to guess that we are looking at a foreign-born share of the U.S. population in the neighborhood of 16 to 18 percent, a level higher than the previous 1890 peak. The foreign-born share of the U.S. population remained quite high during the first decades of the twentieth century before drifting down by midcentury (14.7 percent in 1910, 13.2 percent in 1920, 11.6 percent in 1930, 8.8 percent in 1940, 6.9 percent in 1950). What is striking is that, as Matt acknowledges, the most egalitarian era of modern U.S. history coincided with a very low foreign-born share of the population. Matt argues, not unreasonably, that the failure to take into account the poverty-reducing effects of international migration is myopic. I've addressed how I balance the competing concerns of global poverty alleviation and facilitating the assimilation of current immigrants and combating entrenched poverty among the native-born elsewhere, and of course Matt and I disagree about the virtues of less-skilled labor in an economy like ours more broadly.
But for now I'll just say that if you believe that culture has important political and cultural implications, the prospect of such a rapid increase in the foreign-born share of the population ought to be cause for concern. It is worth noting that the foreign-born share varies across U.S. states. California (27 percent), New York (22 percent), and New Jersey (21) already have much higher foreign-born shares than the U.S. will have under the scenario outlined above. What is interesting is how the texture of civic life might change in other communities, where the foreign-born share is currently relatively low. Leaving geography aside, one wonders how U.S. politics might evolve as the foreign-born share of the working-age population grows relative to the retired population. Rising public expenditures associated with Social Security, Medicare, and other programs devoted to the old might engender resentment among the young, particularly when cultural cleavages line up with generational cleavages.
And then there is the matter of the skill distribution. The following is drawn from the CBO report on the economic impact of the Senate immigration bill:
S. 744 would allow significantly more workers with low skills and with high skills to enter the United States—through, for example, new programs for temporary workers and an increase in the number of workers eligible for H-1B visas—and would allow somewhat greater numbers of workers with skills in the middle of the distribution to enter as well. JCT expect that a greater number of immigrants with lower skills than with higher skills would be added to the workforce, slightly pushing down the average wage for the labor force as a whole, other things being equal. Taking into account all of those flows of new immigrants, CBO and JCT expect that a greater number of immigrants with lower skills than with higher skills would be added to the workforce, slightly pushing down the average wage for the labor force as a whole, other things being equal. [Emphasis added]
It is widely believed that as the the size of the retired population increases, and as the cost of medical care increases, that the resources devoted to old-age social insurance programs will have to increase, and that this will necessitate increases in the lifetime net tax rates of younger workers. If a disproportionately large share of the workforce consists of younger workers with modest levels of educational attainment, a substantial tax burden might prove very problematic. A short while ago, a friend pointed me to Robert Dahl's brief discussion of Argentina during the first half of the twentieth century. I wouldn't rely too heavily on Argentina's experience to guide us as we go forward, but it is a reminder that dramatic changes in the composition of a population can have dramatic cultural and social consequences.

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Dec 19, 2012) - j2 Global, Inc. (
1. Mobilization of the Workforce Drives Productivity Gains
In 2011 we reached a new milestone with the number of smartphones sold exceeding the number of PCs sold. In a recent press release summarizing its 2011 country-level estimates, Canalys estimated that vendors shipped nearly 488 million smart phones to clients in 2011, compared to an estimated 414.6 million PCs.1 This trend suggests a continuing mass mobilization of the global workforce.
Smartphones and tablets become ubiquitous. In 2013, companies will get smarter about how they use mobile devices. These tools are becoming ubiquitous, spanning industries, generations and job types. Smartphones and tablets will be leveraged more heavily as businesses move beyond using them just for simple communications. Business systems, such as CRM, will go mobile enabling teams to input and access sales information on-the-go, driving higher levels of communication and productivity. Collaboration tools that were previously office-bound -- like conference calling and web conferencing -- will be liberated to facilitate faster and more strategic responses to real-time business needs.
Mobile apps are where it's at. SMBs have already adopted smartphones and tablets for email and web browsing but will now add a broader array of mobile apps for their businesses to be even more connected, more available, and more able to productively use those moments of time that are otherwise lost. Through the adoption of workflow apps like mobile faxing and communication apps for VoIP calling, SMBs can maximize productivity on the go and better manage and even co-mingle the dual demands of business and personal life.
2. SMBs Get Their Heads in the Cloud
In 2013, SMBs will fully embrace the cloud as they tap into the advantages of faster deployment and lower cost of ownership. SMBs had been slower to adopt the cloud, but that will change as they leverage the lower cost of delivery and mobility afforded by cloud based technology.
Cost and competition drive at least 2 in 3 SMBs to the cloud in 2013. With even more pressure from competition and the economy alike, SMBs and micro businesses will look to the cloud to grow their top and bottom lines. SMBs will find competitive advantages to using more cloud-based technology solutions from business communication services like phone, fax and web conferencing to hiring and payroll. Traditional consumer-facing cloud services are pivoting toward a business service model offering cost-effective and efficient solutions for SMBs from accounting to legal counsel. As this nascent market evolves SMBs will adopt at a faster rate putting at least 2 in 3 SMBs in the cloud in 2013.
Smarter, more agile solutions prevail. Small businesses will increase their technology IQ as cloud computing and anything-as-a-service (XaaS) become the default choice for how SMBs leverage technology. Over the next few years, SMBs and micro businesses will reconsider purchases for telephony (phone and fax), web and mail servers, and data backup. They will opt for the lower barrier to entry, flexibility and virtual/remote capabilities of cloud options over the space and location restrictions of premise-based solutions.
3. SMBs Will Work Smarter, Not Harder, with Integrated Systems
Integration will become the new black as businesses seek to gain efficiency with unified tools and systems that work collaboratively to drive results.
Bridging Marketing & Sales Technologies to Boost Revenue. Disconnected systems will be replaced by fully integrated business solutions. For example, email marketing will become one of the first applications for full integration with CRM services. This will allow sales and marketing organizations to easily execute campaigns and track the results, all within a single application.
Social Capabilities Become Integrated. Social is no longer the new and shiny platform on the block. In 2013 we will see a tighter integration of social tools into business platforms and processes. Social media will be integrated into core CRM solutions driving a faster sales cycle and lower cost of acquisition. This integration will make it easier to manage social media campaigns from within your CRM service. It will also offer points of contact to interact and strengthen relationships with customers and prospects in a more social environment.

In 2015, the City of Hoboken partnered with the Community Compost Company to implement one of New Jersey's first residential composting programs. The program offers residential pickup service.
Garbage from Hoboken is transported to a landfill in West Virginia and tipping fees alone cost $100 per ton of waste. Separating organic materials for composting is an easy way to divert waste from the landfill and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in addition to helping the City of Hoboken save money by cutting down on landfill fees and the volume and frequency of garbage collection.
Community Compost Company takes collected food scraps to farms where they are recycled into compost, which is used to fertilize the soil. For more information or to sign up for service, visit communitycompostco.com.
What can you compost?
All food (including fruits, vegetables, meat, bones, dairy, grains, eggshells, coffee grounds), food-soiled paper, napkins, paper towels, uncoated paper, plates, and tea bags.
What can't you compost?
Plastic, metal (aluminum foil, staples in tea bags), Styrofoam, liquids, frozen food boxes, chemicals, compostable plastics.
Hazardous Waste
Hazardous items such as paint, varnish, turpentine, pesticide, etc should not be disposed of at the curb. For more information, call the Hudson County Improvement Authority environmental hotline: 201-324-6222 x3219.
Single Stream Recycling
Hoboken joined hundreds of other communities across the country and transitioned to single stream recycling. With single stream recycling, all recyclables – paper, plastic, aluminum, glass, etc. can now be mixed together within the same container and placed for pickup on both Mondays and Thursdays. This means:
- No need to sort. All recyclables (plastic, glass, aluminum, paper) can be placed within the same container.
- More recyclable materials. In addition to plastics with symbols #1 and #2, residents can now also recycle plastics with symbols #3, #4, #5, #6 and #7.
- Place recyclables directly in containers. Because plastic bags cause problems with the automated facility, recyclables should no longer be placed within plastic bags. They should be placed directly inside containers with a lid.
- Two days of pickup. Residents may place all of their recyclables out for pickup on both days.
|Materials Accepted
|Materials Not Accepted(include but are not limited to)
All glass containers must by empty and free of metal caps and rings.

House passes 'gas guzzler' bill
The U.S. House of Representatives approved a so-called gas guzzler bill that would give car buyers a voucher worth up to $4,500 for trading in older vehicles.
The bill passed 298-119 with strong support from both parties, the Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday.The Congressional Budget Office projected auto sales could jump by 625,000 vehicles if the bill, which is headed to the Senate, makes it into law.
Some supporters of the measure were expecting an estimate of 1 million new car sales, the newspaper said.
As older cars turned in would be crushed, vehicles worth more than $4,500 would not be accepted. An estimated 25 million vehicles with mileage ratings under 18 miles per gallon are eligible for the program.
Customers would get vouchers between $3,500 and $4,500 depending on mileage of the newer vehicle.
Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., said, the need to increase demand was a necessary step in helping automakers return to profitablity.
If there is not increased demand ... restructuring cannot succeed, he said.

Beautifully Colored Lizard Discovered In The Peruvian Andes
Named 'mountain dweller', it is the highest-altitude living member of its genus
Germán Chávez and Diego Vásquez from the Centro de OrnitologÃa y Biodiversidad (CORBIDI) in Peru have discovered a new colorful lizard which they named Potamites montanicola, or "mountain dweller". The new species was found in Cordillera de Vilcabamba and Apurimac river valley, the Cusco Region of Peru at altitude ranging from 1,600 to 2,100 meters. Their study was published in the open access journal ZooKeys."The new discovery raises some questions", say the authors. This is the only member of the genus known to live at such altitude. It is yet unknown what biological mechanisms help the lizard to survive in this harsh environment, much colder than what it's relatives in the genus prefer. Scientists also believe the lizard may be nocturnal, which raises the question of how it maintains its body temperature during night time. In some cases, individuals were observed swimming in streams, which is rather unusual behavior for the members this genus.
"Further studies are needed to reveal its biology, population structure and conservation status, and outline its overall distribution", Chávez concludes.

Neither as bad as its title nor as stupid as most in the crowded field of computer-animated movies, Flushed Away's charms do not suffice. The feature, from Aardman who created the amusing Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, is flawed, formulaic and sporadically funny.
Visually, the story of London sewer rats targeted for extinction by an evil frog (voiced by Ian McKellen) approximates the Wallace and Gromit stop-motion style. That is not the problem, though the clay-based look has certain advantages. A shoddy plot and theme do it in.
Uncouth humor helps. As Hugh Jackman's posh rat meets up with Kate Winslet's subterranean ratby way of the title's toilet functionthey fight and fall for each other amid slugs and parasites and use of saliva and other crude jokes. They escape the villains in a clever boat contraption.
Most of this is harmless, with Generation X's "Dancing with Myself" or Tom Jones classic pop blaring to typical antics. McKellen's frog calls in a French cousin (Jean Reno), which nets a few laughs. Aardman's inventive touch is evident in beds made of sponges and socks and the boat as a special issue trade tool for a lower class James Bond.
But it's high on gross-out gags, characters lacking in charisma, and, as they make their way back to daylight, begging whether Rat City will be saved, rat droppings pile up. Jackman plays another clumsy, helpless male to the superior, all-knowing female, Winslet hasn't spit this much since Titanic, and there is contempt for anything civilized.
With an ending that endorses Robin Hood ethicsFlushed Away uses property theft as conflict resolutionit becomes an especially unpleasant waste of otherwise witty writers and talented animators.

As any new parent knows, choosing a name for your baby can be fraught with challenges. When we were naming our first-born son I insisted on sticking with family tradition and calling him after his dad (me) in the same way I was after mine.
But my wife didn't exactly agree. "Over my dead body," were her exact words.
"But what's wrong with Keith?" I insisted.
"Keith Chegwin, Keith Harris & Orville, Keith from The Office. Little babies should not be called 'Keith'. End of!" she replied.
"But I was," I retorted.
"Yes, and look how you turned out." So in the end, we compromised and I was able to persuade my wife to stick with family names by calling our son after his grandfathers and two of his uncles: Thomas George.
We are nothing if not imaginative in our family! The next son was easier: we named him after my childhood dog – Sam.
This might sound a bit harsh, but I reasoned that my great-grandfather was called Sam and that was why we named our two family dogs Sam. Human Sam would be carrying on a tradition that stretched back more than 100 years. And this time, my wife bought it! (It could have been worse – my granddad's middle name was Maurice!).
Such discussions are the battleground for new parents up and down the country every hour of every day.
Do you fall in line and go for a name from the Most Popular lists that are published every year? (This year, for boys it's Oliver, Jack and Charlie; and for girls Olivia, Emily and Sophia).
Or do you find your inspiration from current affairs, celebrities, television and music?
If you've just had a baby or are having a baby in 2014, what names have struck a chord? After all, this is a big decision – one that will affect your child's life for all of their days.
Perhaps a trawl through the archive of baby names in 2103 might provide some inspiration - if not what to call your child, then certainly what not to call them!
If you thought Keith was bad some parents intent on being different have thrown out the most common baby names this year in favour of something a tad more, er, memorable.

If no news is good news, then it's tempting to conclude that good news is no news at all. Not when it's this familiar, anyway, because when it's this familiar, the extraordinary becomes ordinary.
Spain has already qualified for next summer's World Cup finals, securing its place in South Africa with an eighth successive victory last month. A 3-0 win against Estonia in Mérida followed a 5-0 hammering of Belgium in La Coruña and offered yet another demonstration of the
During the fortnight of the last international break, the national team only made the front cover of the country's best-selling newspaper,
Real Madrid president
Inside, the papers were scrabbling around for something to fill their pages. One "story" showed how Madrid was on course to finish the season with a record tally of goals by racking up 110 -- something that, the piece helpfully pointed out, "Barcelona didn't manage." For those who wondered how the paper worked that out just one game into the season, it had factored in Madrid's preseason results too -- a method that would see Villarreal, 27-0 winner in one particular summer preparation game, on course for 400 goals or so!
Spain was not completely ignored, of course. And those covers that were dedicated to del Bosque's side expressed their delight, with
"Now go and win the World Cup,"
In a curious sort of way, it was also the biggest compliment you could pay the national side, the greatest of eulogies you could hand to del Bosque and his players. Maybe 'twas always thus. There was, after all, none of the scandal that the media loves, no meat, no bones to pick over. No confrontations or controversy, no shock results. Just very, very good ones. Again. There was just an excellent football team.
One columnist admitted that he "missed" the fun and games of the
In fact, what was most "normal" of all was the results. Tumbleweeds blew past where once there were furious dialectical battles driven by poor results. On one hour-long debate show, a pundit started to whine about how
So he was asked if he'd drop
Besides, three days later, Fàbregas did play. And he scored and played wonderfully. But he was not alone. Del Bosque made changes and yet the result stayed the same.
What alterations have been carried out have been done so smoothly as to alter nothing and that has bought the coach credit.
Everything is so, well, normal. Great results and performances are just what happen, and people have, to some extent, stopped noticing. It is a measure of just how successful Spain has become, how consistently excellent its performances have been, that so little fuss was made about it, how few arguments there were. And that is the thing, of course. Take a step back and what makes Spain extraordinary is the sheer relentlessness of its success.
When the Spaniards were beaten by the U.S. in the Confederations Cup semifinal, it was their first defeat in 36 games -- a joint world record. They had won Euro 2008 in incontestable style under Aragonés, and del Bosque had picked up where his predecessor had left off. Under him, Spain has won 18 of 19 matches and its record in qualifying stands at nine out of nine, with 23 scored and just three conceded. Though he has played in only eight group games,
However, one nagging doubt remains: Has Spain beaten any really great sides since the European Championship? With the exception of England -- beaten 2-0 in a friendly in Sevilla -- it is tempting to say no. But, off the back of its success at Euro 2008, results do make a powerful case to present it as favorites in South Africa. And it's not just about the results. Everything has all been done in style, too, with a confidence, a swagger and a conviction -- and one that hints at the fact that this side is even better than the one that beat Germany in Vienna.
As one columnist put it, Spain's destruction of Belgium was a retort, a message "for all of those who think it's not possible to play like the angels ... for those who think of football as a defensive pursuit ... for the Taliban of the tactics board ... for the coaches who lock away their creative players ... for those who don't like beautiful football." He would say that, of course, but he had a point.

"Windows XP was the last client version of Windows to include the Pinball game that had been part of Windows since Windows 95. There is apparently speculation that this was done for legal reasons. No, that's not why." I love these stories.

If they had open sourced the game, it would have been fixed up almost instantly and saved, instead of binned.
It may even have been improved!
Of course, proving the open source model can work well is not something I'm sure Microsoft executives would be keen on.

Martin Cooper, 79, recalls the rush to build the cell phone back in the early 1970s. As a general manager at a small wireless communication company called Motorola, he remembers hearing that AT&T was pursuing cellular technology for car phones.
San Francisco Chronicle
But he realized, based on the success of Motorola's pagers, that cell phones needed to be personal and portable. He knew that people wouldn't be satisfied with just a phone in their car. So he got to working on what would be the first true cell phone. On April 3, 1973, Cooper walked outside on the streets of New York and made the first phone call on a cell phone shaped like a brick.
"We predicted the concept of a telephone that isn't tied to a wall or a desk. We anticipated that everyone would have a cell phone," Martin said during a recent phone interview. "We joked that when you're born you would be assigned a cell phone and if you didn't answer you had died."
Cooper's vision of cell phone ubiquity is coming true. About 85 percent of the population has a cell phone now, though luckily we all don't feel obligated to answer it at every moment.
He said he's not surprised that cell phones are so integral to people's lives. He realized that early on when the first pager users refused to give up their devices. Mobility is pretty addictive.
"Our early pagers were not that good so when we tried to take some products away from people, they absolutely refused," Cooper said.
It didn't happen overnight. It took another 10 years before commercial cell phone service became available. It wasn't until 2000 that we had 100 million subscribers in the U.S. Now we have 257 million. And the first Motorola phones were hardly cheap. About $4,000.
That's one of the big surprises looking back, said Cooper, how cheap the phones have become. Now you can buy a phone that's completely subsidized by a carrier. "We used to think it would be impossible to think of a free cell phone that you gave away," he said.
Cooper is on to new things now. He and his wife Arlene Harris started GreatCall, makers of Jitterbug, a simplified cell phone catering to seniors. The cell phone features larger buttons, a bigger screen, simpler functions and a 24 hour operator who can connect calls. Users and their relatives can also add contact numbers through the Jitterbug website.
Cooper said the Jitterbug represents the next stage in the evolution of the cell phone. Now that we've introduced the device to the masses, it's time to go after specific needs of niche users, who may be left out by the high-tech, feature-laden handsets of today.
"I think young people don't appreciate that when you're in your 70s, you'll lose patience for techie stuff and you may decide that you want a simple device," Cooper said. "The Jitterbug identifies and caters to that market."
Cooper said in the future, he expects cellular connectivity to be everywhere, in all kinds of machines, whether its gaming handhelds or medical monitoring devices. The wireless connectivity that brought the portable phone to life will migrate to everything else around us, he said. "We have the freedom of voice. Now we'll have it with devices."

Security Think Tank: How businesses can achieve compliance and security
What can businesses do to make regulatory compliance a priority without losing focus on security basics?
This Article Covers
Data protection
In truth, I don't want anyone to "make compliance a priority", so I won't give advice on what businesses should do about that.
In my view, compliance should not be a priority – information security should be a priority, one from which compliance will flow as long as some conditions are met.
The importance of web security
Join us as we take a look at the different approaches you can take in order to bolster your web security. We find out how to identify and address overlooked web security vulnerabilities, how security controls affect web security assessment results and why web opportunities must be met with appropriate security controls.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
To illustrate this point, ask yourself which is more important: complying with seatbelt law or actually surviving a car crash. The two don't always amount to the same thing.
Wearing a seatbelt and implementing regulatory compliance controls are both means to an end. In the field of information security, the "end" is always the protection of personal and business-critical data. You should view compliance mandates as motivators, not as ends or business priorities.
Compliance should not be a priority – information security should be a priority, one from which compliance will flow as long as some conditions are met
Anton Chuvakin, research analyst, Gartner
By focusing on information security, you can achieve both security and compliance. To make compliance flow from security, you must document your controls, preserve evidence of your monitoring and investigative activities, and maintain a clear understanding of the extent to which regulations apply to your business.
By contrast, if you focus on compliance, you risk falling short on both counts – as in the case of organisations that treat maintenance of regulatory compliance as a mere box-ticking exercise, get hacked, and then incur fines for not having maintained proper compliance between audits.
It is essential to maintain a good security posture at all times – unless you expect to convince the world's hackers to attack only once a year, just after you've passed your compliance audit and are formally in good security shape.
Thus, your priority must be to plan, implement and, above all, maintain information security for as long as you run your business.

Developing a child's creative thinking should be as important to parents as developing their academic skills. Actually, it should be more important. The academic skills naturally fall into place when other areas are developed.
What is creative play?
Basically, creative play is any play that let's your child be imaginative. It can be fostered through encouraging pretend play or make-believe activities. It does not have to be limited to arts and crafts and should be the main focus of all play activities.
How can branded toys effect your child's creative thinking?
A branded toy is not imaginative. If you want to see just how stifling a branded toy is to your child's imagination, just take them to a toy store. Chances are, if you hold up an Elmo doll and ask your toddler what it is and what it's name is, they will tell you it is Elmo and any activity they plan for this toy will be based on the brand. This toy will never be anything but Elmo to your child.
Now hold up a non-branded toy and ask them to give it a name and your child's imagination will kick in and he will give it an imaginative name and a make-believe story behind who this toy is. The next time you ask, you will likely get a whole new scenario. Because the toy is not branded, your child can picture or make-believe it is anything he wants it to be.
By creating an environment where your child can let their imagination run wild, you are allowing them to develop skills that will carry them through life as a more tolerant individual with great problem solving skills, negotiating skills and the ability to be adaptive in any situation.
Creative play is very educational and encourages free-thinking. It is the free-thinkers of the world that create change, innovate new ideas and technology and become the leaders of the world. If you stifle their creativity with branded toys you will limit their imagination.

Robert Therrien
Written by Norman Bryson and Margit Rowell
About This Book
Robert Therrien takes ordinary objects and makes them unfamiliar, removing functionality to reveal metaphoric associations in them. Such works include his series of monumental tables and chairs, giant-sized stacks of pots, plates and bowls, and fifteen-foot fake beards hanging on their stands, among other works. Expertly photographed, with an insightful interview by art historian and theorist Norman Bryson, this is the first major book to examine Therrien's unique body of work. Planned to coincide with the exhibition of Therrien's sculptures in May 2008 at Gagosian Gallery in New York City, this volume is a must-have for anyone interested in contemporary art including sculpture, painting, drawing, and photography.
About the Author
Robert Therrien lives in Los Angeles and is represented in major museum collections internationally. He is known primarily as a sculptor, although he has worked in painting, drawing, printmaking, and photography. Norman Bryson is a Professor in the Department of Visual Arts, University of California San Diego.

2.1. Coordinate definition and computation
In the current proposal, we regard the conversion of pixel coordinates to world coordinates as a multi-step process. This is illustrated conceptually in Fig. 1, which shows only the steps to be discussed here. Later extensions may interpose additional steps as required. For example, Paper II divides the final step into two with the computation of intermediate spherical coordinates that are subsequently converted to celestial coordinates via a spherical rotation. Paper IV interposes optional distortion corrections between the first and/or second steps of Fig. 1. Generally these are intended to account for small residuals that cannot be described by one of the standard world coordinate transformations. These may arise in a variety of ways; naturally (e.g. aberration or atmospheric refraction), via complex instrumental response functions (e.g. data cubes produced by a Fabry-Perot interferometer for which surfaces of constant wavelength are curved), by the intrinsic nature of the system under study (e.g. surface coordinates of the asteroid Eros), or as a result of instrumental peculiarities.
Figure 1. Conversion of pixel coordinates to world coordinates shown as a multi-step process. In the first step a linear transformation is applied via matrix multiplication of the pixel coordinate vector. This linear transformation may be restricted to the geometrical effects of rotation and skewness with scaling to physical units deferred until the second step (PCi_j plus CDELTi formalism). Alternatively, scaling may be applied via the matrix with the second step omitted (CDi_j formalism). The final step applies a possibly non-linear transformation to produce the final world coordinates. Although generic keywords for this step are defined in this paper, the mathematical details, including the interpretation of the INTERMEDIATE WORLD COORDINATES, are deferred to later papers which may also interpose additional steps in the algorithm chain. For later reference, the mathematical symbols associated with each step are shown in the box at right.

City officials are making a change to Lawrence utility bills after concerns have been raised that the city is not doing enough to call attention to late fees it charges its customers.
An article in the Sunday Journal-World detailed how one customer had unknowingly paid three-years worth of late fees because the city lists the charges on the bill as an "adjustment," rather than a late fee.
That practice soon will change. The city director who oversees the utility billing division said bills going out next week will have the term "late fee" on them rather than the less specific "adjustment" category.
Originally, the city had thought making such a change would not be feasible, given that the city does not own the billing software system that it uses. But Ed Mullins, the city's finance director, said the city investigated the matter further after concerns were raised.
"We were able to make the change in house," Mullins said.
Some city commissioners said they thought the terminology needed to be changed.
"Frankly it could be clearer," City Commissioner Mike Dever said. "If it is a cost that people are paying, I think it is only fair that we know what we're paying for."
The Journal-World article also found that the percentage of city bills that have a late fee is significantly higher than several other area utilities. The city estimated about 30 percent of all bills have a late fee. That was much higher than the 10 percent found in Manhattan, the 17 percent with the Board of Public Utilities in Kansas City, Kan., and the 7 percent with Rural Water District No. 4 in Douglas County.
City Commissioner Aron Cromwell said he wanted to find out why that percentage had reached such a level.
"That is definitely worth taking a look at," said Cromwell, who also said he wanted to change the adjustment terminology. "That is a large number. I could understand 10 to 20 percent. Twenty percent would be too high, but 30 percent is definitely too high."
Mullins said his department was preparing a report on that issue to deliver to City Manager David Corliss.
Mullins also provided information to other questions that have arisen about the city's billing practices.
• He said the city is developing a request for proposals for a new company to process credit card payments and other electronic payments made to the city. Mullins said he hopes that as part of that process the city can begin offering a no-fee method for the city to make electronic payments.
Currently, the city offers a no-fee auto-bill pay service, but that requires the customer giving the city access to their bank account so a withdrawal can be made on a certain day of each month. For people wanting to make an electronic payment directly to the city, they must do so via credit card. The city charges a $3.95 convenience fee to cover fees the city is charged by the credit card companies.
Some utilities, like Westar Energy, have a system that allows people to pay their bills via an electronic payment online without a fee. Mullins said the city hopes to have a similar system.
• Customers are making electronic payments to the city using online bill paying services offered by many banks. But Mullins said customers need to understand that those electronic transfers are processed by a third-party consolidation company before the payment is received by the city. Mullins said that processing could result in a payment that is initiated on one day not being received by the city for two to three days later. Generally, electronic transfers initiated before 2 p.m. are considered received by the processing company on that day, and then delivered to the city's bank account the next business day. Transfers initiated after 2 p.m. generally are not considered received until the next business day, and then are delivered to the city's account the following day.
