I'm at a sticky spot in my research. Namely, I have a particular fact, and it ought to have a short proof, but the only way I know how to show it is long and drawn out, and I don't like it and worry I might have an error. I'm hoping one of y'all will either see a short proof or respond with "all your questions are answered in [link]". And I'm hoping this isn't too close to "homework question".
I have a linear second-order differential operator $\mathcal D$ on $C^\infty( [0,1], \mathbb R^n)$, where $\mathbb R^n$ has its usual metric, and of the following form: $$ \mathcal D = \frac{d^2}{dt^2} + B(t) \frac{d}{dt} + C(t) $$ where $B,C$ are $n\times n$ matrix-valued functions on $[0,1]$, $B(t)$ is antisymmetric for each $t$, and $C(t) - C(t)^{\rm T} = B'(t)$, where $C^{\rm T}$ is the transpose of $C$. I happen to know a lot of solutions to $\mathcal D[f] = 0$. In particular, I have two matrix-valued functions $f\_1(t)$ and $f\_2(t)$, which satisfy $\mathcal D[f\_a] = 0$, and also $f\_1(0) = \delta = f\_2(1)$ and $f\_2(0) = 0 = f\_1(1)$, where $\delta$ is the unit $n\times n$ matrix.
(Incidentally, this implies that the columns of the $f\_a$ are a basis for the space of solutions of $\mathcal D[f]=0$, so that there are no nonzero solutions with $f(0) = 0 = f(1)$. Indeed, any solution with $\mathcal D[f] = 0$, $f(0) = 0$ is determined by the derivative $f'(0)$, so that there is a linear map $\mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R^n$ sending $v$ to the value $f(1)$ where $f'(0) = v$. But $f\_2(1) = \delta$, and so $f\_2'(0)$ is full-rank, and so if $f$ solves the differential equation with $f(0) = 0$, then $f(t) = f\_2(t)\left(f\_2'(0)\right)^{-1}f'(0)$.)
Anyhoo, so my question is this. Let $g\_1(t),g\_2(t)$ be matrix-valued functions such that: $$ f\_1g\_1 + f\_2g\_2 = 0 \text{ and } f\_1' g\_1 + f\_2' g\_2 = \delta$$ Prove that $\mathcal D[(g\_a)^{\rm T}] = 0$.
For example, when $n=1$, $B(t) = 0$ because there are no antisymmetric $1\times 1$ matrices, and then by Abel's formula the determinant of the matrix $\left(\begin{smallmatrix} f\_1 & f\_2 \\\ f\_1' & f\_2' \end{smallmatrix}\right)$ is constant. Therefore, $g\_2$, which is the lower-right corner of the inverse of this matrix, is a constant times $f\_1$, and $g\_1$, which is the upper right-hand-corner of the inverse, is a constant times $f\_2$.

A prodigious talent, Renato Buso had already won the Scudetto and an Italian Super Cup when Italy lifted the 1992 UEFA European Under-21 Championship trophy. Having scored a crucial equaliser against a powerful Soviet Union side to help the Azzurrini through their group, Buso came to the fore in the knockout rounds.
Treviso-born Buso was touted for greatness from the moment Juventus signed him as a 15-year-old from hometown club Montebelluna Calcio in 1985. He played his part as the Bianconeri claimed the Serie A title in his first full season, then had a spell at ACF Fiorentina before linking up with UC Sampdoria. By the time he moved to Sampdoria he was already catching the eye with the U21s. He hit the only goal of their Group 3 qualifier against Hungary, and struck again versus the Soviet Union in Simferopol, cancelling out Viktor Shustikov's opener.
In a team featuring a maturing Demetrio Albertini, Alessandro Melli had shone brightest in the qualification campaign, but when the Parma FC man was sent off after scoring twice against Czechoslovakia in the quarter-finals, Buso stepped up. He struck in each leg of Italy's semi-final success over Denmark, before breaking the deadlock in the 2-0 first-leg win against Sweden which paved the way for a 2-1 aggregate triumph in the final. Italy's maiden title at this level would, however, be the last of Buso's career.

Bassetlaw MP John Mann has today welcomed the announcement that Nottinghamshire will be among the first areas to be investigated over child abuse allegations.
Nottinghamshire is one of 12 authorities that will be investigated as part of a nationwide probe to establish whether authorities took allegations of child abuse seriously in care homes around the county.
The chairman of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, Dame Lowell Goddard has today (Friday november 27) announced that Nottinghamshire will be investigated in the first phase of the inquiry's work.
The probe, also known as the Goddard Inquiry, has been set up to investigate whether public bodies and other non-state institutions have taken seriously their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse in England and Wales.
It comes following a wave of residents coming forward to say they were abused in children's homes around the county. Both Nottinghamshire's Chief Constable
Mr Mann said: "I had contacted Justice Lowell Goddard, who is leading the inquiry, calling on her to focus on Nottinghamshire as well as other areas."
"I therefore welcome the decision that Nottinghamshire will be one of the first areas to be covered by the inquiry."
"I have also offered to assist Justice Goddard in the course of her investigations."
"The inquiry will involve hearings with survivors of abuse, witnesses and experts. Above all, the survivors who have been denied justice for many years should have their voices heard so that the truth can finally come out."
Chris Eyre and Police and Crime Commissioner Paddy Tipping have welcomed this announcement.
They have held discussions with the Inquiry team over the last eight months to encourage this focus on Nottinghamshire and the ongoing work with survivors of historical sexual abuse.
Mr Tipping said: "This is a huge step in the right direction and I'm really grateful that the Goddard team has listened to our appeals for Nottinghamshire to become part of the national inquiry.
"I have met a good many of the survivors and they have impressed upon me the importance of this inquiry and their wish to have the opportunity to tell their story and to have that story heard. I hope that they find today's announcement supportive in their ongoing recovery.
"While I am aware that many people have already told the police about their experiences, it's really important for anyone else who believes they may have been a victim of abuse to come forward and report their story. They can choose to either go the police or one of the specialist support groups who will help to guide them through the process.
"I understand that it must be a very difficult thing to do, but I can assure people that what they say will be treated seriously and with sensitivity. But I most strongly appeal to anyone who feels they have been abused while in care to use this Inquiry as the incentive they need to come forward. Their voices must be heard."
Huge numbers of survivors have stepped forward to talk about their horrific experiences at the hands of staff at more than a dozen homes, including Skegby Hall in Skegby, Laybrook, Berry Hill Open Air School and The Ridge in Mansfield, and Cauldwell House in Southwell.
Mr Eyre added: "I am pleased that Justice Goddard has chosen to focus one strand of her work in Nottinghamshire. Our victims need to be heard. I am confident that the inquiry will allow them a voice without compromising the ongoing and extremely complex criminal investigations and criminal justice proceedings.
"The inquiry will enable our partners to show the work they have done to review the care provided to children in the care system, demonstrate how they responded to changes in Government policy, and show their response to failings identified locally and across the country over the period considered by the inquiry."
The inquiry's work will be independent from Nottinghamshire Police's ongoing criminal investigations into historic child abuse, they said, and reviews by Nottinghamshire County Council, Nottingham City Council and the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire's independent safeguarding boards.
Speaking before the announcement was made, Nottinghamshire County Council leader Alan Rhodes said: "Any failings of any organisation or institution deserves to be identified and dealt with appropriately.
"If there has been organisational or institutional failings, then there needs to be accountability.
"And, importantly, I am prepared to make an unreserved apology to survivors if our council is found to have failed in our duty of care to children.
"Currently, there are a significant number of actions, both criminal and civil, that are under way."
"Children's homes should always have been places of safety, so harm in them of any kind is an appalling abuse of duty and trust.
"Anyone who was abused as a child absolutely deserves our sympathy and support. From the outset, we have taken these allegations seriously, and devoted a great deal of time and effort to look into them, support survivors and the police investigations.
"The safety and wellbeing of children and young people in our care must be, and is, of the highest priority."
Nottinghamshire Police has two major investigations into historical abuse in care homes in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
These investigations commenced in 2010 and, to date, are into offences reported by 263 victims. They span the period from the late 1940s to the turn of the millennium and involve a range of incidents, from chastisement by staff which would not have been criminal offences at the time they occurred, to the most serious sexual and physical assaults.

If I charge a capacitor ($220\mu{F}$) using a 6V battery, and then measure the time it takes to discharge 90% of the initial energy over a resistor (${100k}\Omega$), and then charge the same capacitor using a 12V battery and measure the time it takes to discharge 90% of its initial energy again (over the same resistor).
Why are both times the same? Especially given that the second time there is 4 times more starting energy that the first time. ($E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$.)

Angle encoders can connect with controls
Heidenhain's absolute angle encoders have expanded their usage to include connection to Fanuc controls. Characterized by their simple mounting and high accuracy, these Heidenhain RCN 2000, 5000 and 8000 series encoders offer many advantages.
Often the encoder of choice when angle measurement in the accuracy range of a few angular seconds is required, the RCN angle encoders offer users greater mounting tolerances than ever before, optimized scanning and evaluation electronics with diagnostic functions, plug-in cables with quick disconnect at the encoder, and a variety of hollow shaft diameters. In addition, the RCN encoders permit positive fastening, provided that the "front end shaft coupling" mounting mode is used.
Already of use with Heidenhain's EnDat interface, these RCN encoders can now be obtained with the Fanuc interface, making it possible to obtain reliable position and speed control in more rotational axes applications, such as on rotary tables, tilting axes and direct drives.

What did soldiers eat in Florida during the Civil War? What did they wear? What kinds of equipment were they assigned? Sometimes when studying history we get so busy discussing "big" issues like political trends and battles and ideas that we lose sight of everyday experiences. Diaries and letters are two kinds of documents that can help us uncover this sort of commonplace detail, but what if you could get even closer to the heart of the matter and see lists of the supplies and equipment received by an individual regiment?
That's the great strength of the Joseph C. Shaw Papers, a collection held by the State Archives of Florida at its research facility in Tallahassee. Shaw was an Ohio native who served in the Sixth Michigan Infantry before accepting a commission as a lieutenant in the Fifteenth Regiment of the Corps d'Afrique in Louisiana. This unit was later reorganized as the 99th United States Colored Troops, which served in Florida in 1864 and 1865. The 99th was one of 175 Union regiments consisting mainly of African-American soldiers. The officers in these units were almost always white.
Shaw served as the quartermaster for his regiment, handling much of the paperwork regarding supplies, equipment, foraging for the animals, and rations for the men. His papers contain a variety of reports describing exactly what was issued to and consumed by the 99th U.S. Colored Troops while they were stationed at various points along Florida's Gulf coast. Here are a few sample pages from the reports – click each image to enlarge:
These records may seem rather mundane, but it's exactly this sort of information that helps historians piece together the daily experiences of soldiers during the Civil War. They are especially useful when examined alongside diaries and letters from individual soldiers to help parse some of the references the authors make to their living conditions.
Because these records were generally shared between unit quartermasters and the military departments of the Union and Confederate governments, the majority of these reports (where they still exist at all) are accessible only through the National Archives in Washington. In a few cases, such as that of Joseph Shaw, quartermaster officers or generals retained their own copies of the reports, and they eventually made their way to other archives such as the State Archives of Florida by donation.
To learn more about the Civil War era records housed at the State Archives of Florida, check out our research guide on the subject. We also recommend reviewing the Civil War in Florida bibliography from the State Library.

The line between living organisms and machines has just become a whole lot blurrier. European researchers have developed "neuro-chips" in which living brain cells and silicon circuits are coupled together.
The achievement could one day enable the creation of sophisticated neural prostheses to treat neurological disorders, or the development of organic computers that crunch numbers using living neurons.
To create the neuro-chip, researchers squeezed more than 16,000 electronic transistors and hundreds of capacitors onto a silicon chip just 1 millimeter square in size.
They used special proteins found in the brain to glue brain cells, called neurons, onto the chip. However, the proteins acted as more than just a simple adhesive.
"They also provided the link between ionic channels of the neurons and semiconductor material in a way that neural electrical signals could be passed to the silicon chip," said study team member Stefano Vassanelli from the University of Padua in Italy.
It could still be decades before the technology is advanced enough to treat neurological disorders or create living computers, the researchers say, but in the nearer term, the chips could provide an advanced method of screening drugs for the pharmaceutical industry.
"Pharmaceutical companies could use the chip to test the effect of drugs on neurons, to quickly discover promising avenues of research," Vassanelli said.
The researchers are now working on ways to avoid damaging the neurons during stimulation. The team is also exploring the possibility of using a neuron's genetic instructions to control the neuro-chip.

Rudimentary elevators, or hoists, were in use during the Middle Ages and can be traced back to the third century BC. They were operated by animal and human power or by water-driven mechanisms. The elevator as we know it today was first developed during the 1800s and relied on steam or hydraulic plungers for lifting capability. In the latter application, the cab was affixed to a hollow plunger that lowered into an underground cylinder. Liquid, most commonly water, was injected into the cylinder to create pressure and make the plunger elevate the cab, which would simply lower by gravity as the water was removed.
Valves governing the water flow were manipulated by passengers using ropes running through the cab, a system later enhanced with the incorporation of lever controls and pilot valves to regulate cab speed. The "granddaddy" of today's traction elevators first appeared during the 19th century in the U.K., a "lift" using a rope running through a pulley and a counterweight tracking along the shaft wall. Give Us the Power... The power elevator debuted mid-19th century in the U.S. as a simple freight hoist operating between just two floors in a New York City building. By 1853, Elisha Graves Otis was at the New York Crystal Palace exposition, demonstrating an elevator with a "safety" to break the cab's fall in case of rope failure, a defining moment in elevator development.
By 1857, the country's first Otis passenger elevator was in operation at a New York City department store, and, ten years later, Elisha's sons went on to found Otis Brothers and Company in Yonkers, NY, eventually to achieve mass production of elevators in the thousands. Various other elevator designs appeared on the landscape, including screw-driven and rope-geared, hydraulic models.
Later in the 1800s, with the advent of electricity, the electric motor was integrated into elevator technology by German inventor Werner von Siemens. With the motor mounted at the bottom of the cab, this design employed a gearing scheme to climb shaft walls fitted with racks. In 1887, an electric elevator was developed in Baltimore, using a revolving drum to wind the hoisting rope, but these drums could not practically be made large enough to store the long hoisting ropes that would be required by skyscrapers.
Motor technology and control methods evolved rapidly. In 1889 came the direct-connected geared electric elevator, allowing for the building of significantly taller structures. By 1903, this design had evolved into the gearless traction electric elevator, allowing hundred-plus story buildings to become possible and forever changing the urban landscape. Multi-speed motors replaced the original single-speed models to help with landing-leveling and smoother overall operation. Electromagnet technology replaced manual rope-driven switching and braking. Push-button controls and various complex signal systems modernized the elevator even further. Safety improvements have been continual, including a notable development by Charles Otis, son of original "safety" inventor Elisha, that engaged the "safety" at any excessive speed, even if the hoisting rope remained intact.
Today, there are intricate governors and switching schemes to carefully control cab speeds in any situation. "Buttons" have been giving way to keypads. Virtually all commercial elevators operate automatically and the computer age has brought the microchip-based capability to operate vast banks of elevators with precise scheduling, maximized efficiency and extreme safety. Elevators have become a medium of architectural expression as compelling as the buildings in which they're installed, and new technologies and designs regularly allow the human spirit to soar!

The fine folks at the Baseball Hall of Fame mailed out their ballots today, and I immediately called our travel agent just to threaten her with litigation if she even thinks about getting me a hotel in Cooperstown next summer.
How grim is it? In HOF press releases, they usually tease the big names in the first paragraph with some impressive career accolades: 500 HRs, eight All-Star appearances, something like that. This year's headline names? "Two American League batting champions, two league leaders in runs batted in and a winner of the Rookie of the Year Award." And Phil Nevin!
The most noteworthy first-timers are Tim Salmon, Vinny Castilla and Bernie Williams, and while Yankee fans will fight to the death for the credentials of their non-HOF-worthy alumni, no one's going to go to bat for Bernie Williams. Maybe for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The only returning players who got more than 50 percent of the vote last year are the climbing Barry Larkin and the stagnant Jack Morris. So it's time to throw the Internet's weight behind Larkin, unless you like HOF classes consisting solely of some Negro Leaguer you've never heard of and an umpire who's been dead for 120 years.
The full ballot, with players in their first year of eligibility in bold:
Jeff Bagwell, Jeromy Burnitz, Vinny Castilla, Juan Gonzalez, Brian Jordan, Barry Larkin, Javy Lopez, Edgar Martinez, Don Mattingly, Fred McGriff, Mark McGwire, Jack Morris, Bill Mueller, Terry Mulholland, Dale Murphy, Phil Nevin, Rafael Palmeiro, Brad Radke, Tim Raines, Tim Salmon, Ruben Sierra, Lee Smith, Alan Trammell, Larry Walker, Bernie Williams, Tony Womack, Eric Young.

Painted boat upon a painted sea,
coz your life's all concrete.
It once bore you to the shore,
and waited till you didn't care for it anymore.
The waves that licked the strings,
did not wait for the tide to turn.
They carried it away and afar,
while you roamed about in a shiny car.
The waves are still in spite,
yet the boat would still fight.
Until the wall around you breaks,
and the earth around you shakes.
Will you swim the fiery sea
And reclaim your life while its still twilight?
Or will your life forever be concrete -
only a painted boat upon a painted sea?

Those artists are reportedly were transferred important information to Hassan Nasrallah himself !!!!!!!!!! This is a joke , do we live in 1960s or something ??
What is next ?? Accusing Haifa Wahabi of being a spy to Hezbollah especially she supports Hezbollah publicly !!?? By the way Haifa's concert at Al Ahly Club on Sham El-Nassim day next Monday is cancelled , I hope that the cancellation will be for normal reasons not for political reasons. I am talking seriously I swear. After reading the ministry of foreign affairs official warning to the Egyptians visting Lebanon everything is possible !!??
I wonder how Haifa will celebrate her wedding from her Egyptian Steel tycoon Ahmed Abu Hashima in that so-called legendary wedding next week !!!??
From two weeks ago the Egyptian and Arabic Press had nothing to speak about expect the sudden engagement of Haifa .The lucky groom who stole the heart of Haifa is Egyptian businessman/billionaire Ahmed Abu- Hashima , the new emperor of steel in Egypt !! I thought that Ahmed Ezz was the emperor of steel!!
Abu Hashima was born in 1975,studied in the faculty of Commerce and he is currently the youngest National Port Said steel company board of directors member.
Abu-Hashima is from Port Said and he is active face in the Port Said social scene. There are some silly rumors saying that Abu Hashima is exporting steel to Hezbollah as Haifa is a Shiite and supports Hezbollah , she once said that she was ready anything Nasrallah would say and here she is , taking the steel we need in Egypt to build the Western Subrub !!! This is madness , we are entering the madness stage !!
Of course I can't imagine the impact of those rumors now , already I do not have doubt that if Ahmed Ezz wants to elimante him from the market that he will use them against him !! Remember that very good !!!
Anyhow regardingAbu Hashima, I wonder how he became a billionaire in that early age in the steel trade !!??Do not get me wrong but I have enough from the steel crisis and those who are profiting from it whether from Ahmed Ezz and others including that gentleman. Leaving steel and going back to the hot war between Hezbollah and Egypt , I wonder what will happen next in fact I do not want to imagine as I said it is getting sillier

Sasko Miladinov is one of Stip's most successful entrepreneurs, supplying 12 major European clients.
For ten years Sasko Miladinov had worked for "Astibo", one of Stip's flagship socialist companies. Stip, home to large textile and clothing factories, was once known as the Manchester of Macedonia. By the mid-90s, however, at the peak of Macedonia's economic transition, most companies were buried in debt and daily strikes interrupted the work.
"Private factories were not allowed in Yugoslavia, but I was not satisfied with the income I earned. Then I saw that private companies could operate and I was convinced that I can do that, too. I started my own trading company in 1994 because I had not enough investment to build a factory, but my idea had always been to start production."
In 1999 Sasko Miladinov started to produce his own shirts with a team of 150 workers. The premises he had rented quickly became too small. By 2003, he had moved his production to a newly constructed factory with 5,000 square meters of production space. Total investment costs amount to more than € 5 million. Today, his "Albatros" company produces 3,500 shirts per day, totalling 800,000 pieces per year. Many of its clients are top designer brands in Europe.
Speed and quality is what matters most in the highly competitive world of shirt making. "As a businessman you must be fast and flexible. If you have a new idea, you have to run with it and talk to your partners", says Miladinov. The current visa regime imposes major obstacles on businessmen like him. "Everywhere you go from Macedonia you need a visa. Sometimes we have to wait one week, sometimes two weeks for a visa."
For "Albatros" to compete, Miladinov explains, "we are always improving the quality of production, we change technology, we always buy new kinds of machines which are more professional and produce better quality." The entire production process, from the design to the cut and the final product, is highly computerized.
It is successful companies like Albatros that triggered the recent boom in Stip, but demand for labour is quickly outstripping supply. It gets harder and harder to find qualified workers willing to work in the textile and clothing sector. Miladinov has already made plans for the future: "We have several other ideas. When building the new factory I already thought about possible other uses for it in the future."

Photographer's Note
Transport in Paraguay
After the driver playing damas (checkers) I want to show a bus (the green hanging poster said Traveling ), behind it, a van for special trips, a car and the most commun, a man walking, no running trains nowaday
About Areguá
Areguá was founded by Governor Saturnino Martínez de Irala between 1537 and 1540.
Capital of the Central Department, city of ceramic handicrafts and hand made lace called ñanduty, It lies 28 km from the Asuncion
Tips for turist
A typical village so near Asuncion deserving being visited, not only to buy good crafts, but to enjoy the lush greenery of its central promenade, being this a lateral street, watching the old houses (which fences and walls can be seen at the sides), next to the fantastic romantic cobbled hexagonal stones, obtained from the sorrounding hills

Ciao Maria
i colori che questi mezzi di locomozione assumono in molti paesi del sudamerica, fa si che essi possano diventare soggetti fotografici appetibili.
Ovvio che tu in tale circostanza ne approfittassi per farne soggetto di una composizione che riflette appieno il colore locale.
Un'altra valida testimonianza del colore locale e del tuo viaggio in Paraguay.
Ciao e buona serata

Hola querida Maria,
even though the bus looks old and much used, it's so colourful and attractive and surely delightful to see around town. I like the perspective into this street and the very vivid contrasting colours. The sunshine is so lovely and reassuring and from the details in your picture and note I'm sure I'd love this place. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely day,

Hola Maria
Interesante. He visto pocas fotos de Paraguay en este sitio.
La escena es muy latinoamericana. Ese autobús me recuerda mis viajes por Centroamérica, donde son muy comunes.

Hola Maria,
Beep beep! Is this a bus or an ice cream vendor? :) That sure is a colorful vehicle, were it not for the words across the front I might have mistaken it for a fire truck!? Quite a variety of transportation modes, the poor guy walking at the back is going to be smoking on tailpipes though if he doesn't pick up the pace. jaja
I like this, another slice of the daily life aspect that portrays the locale and its people. The composition is bolstered nicely on each side of the frame with the converging fence lines, creating a good perspective and pulling attention towards the main subject. A lot of blue sky, but it pairs nicely with the red and yellow colors. Have a great day ahead.
Friendly wishes from the Northern Hemisphere,

Hello Maria,
A nice suburban view with fine light and colours. The old-fashioned red bus really brightens the view and it is nicely surrounded by trees. I get the impression of a pleasant and rather sleepy town some distance from the noisy capital.
Kind regards,
mirosu (16313) 2013-12-12 4:04
Hello Maria,
Excellent arrangement. The bus is a very good focal point of this nice photo. Your viewpoint is superb, it is mice to see a part of second bus, this give the photo nice 3-D feel. The light and colors are superb.
Well done.
p.s. I did't buy any souvenirs in airport shop, both some in the town.

Hi Maria,
Such an array of modes of transport, this could almost be a parade :) When I seen your title, my first thought was of the Big Red Funbus, a popular toy when I was a child. I like the bus itself, it looks quite North American. Would these vehicles be imported I wonder or made locally to a similar design?
Great depth as we look through the many modes of movement here :)
All the best

Painted red, Maria, becouse the country is mostly green, just for good contrast - and you very well shown this.
Rural town, in a fine photo about. DOF and clarity are outstanding.
Buen tardes,

Hola querida Maria,
A brilliant warm cold colour contrast between the old red bus and the blue blue sky. The dual sides of the road add superb lead in lines as well as diminishing linear perspective and vanishing point. The man at right in the shadows adds scale. Tfs!

Hello Maria,
This is just lovely. I love photos of vehicles and this red bus followed by a yellow/white one just made my day. It reminds me of buses I used to see in rural areas during my childhood in Turkey. This is a precious photo for me, TFS!

Hello Maria,
Excellent daily life image and show the way of transportation. I used to ride in one of these big and old buses going places, still did the last time I was back in Laos. Also the last day I left my hometown when I was little I sat in the back and looking at my village getting smaller with tear in my eyes not knowing if I was able to return one day.
Love this blue sky and the red bus contrast beautifully.
npecanhuk (79329) 2013-12-25 12:02

During a speech at the Iowa GOP's annual Lincoln Dinner, Sen. Rand Paul challenged possible 2016 Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton on her record as secretary of state during the deadly Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, saying it showed a "dereliction of duty and should preclude her from holding higher office."
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Presidential elections start in Iowa.
On Friday, Sen. Rand Paul put his stake in the ground for a possible run in 2016 by mocking the Obama administration and delivering a blistering critique of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's handling of the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. The administration has been criticized for failing to provide security during the attack and for its characterization of the incident afterward.
Speaking at the Iowa GOP's annual Lincoln Dinner, Paul questioned the initial response to the attacks and asked, "First question to Hillary Clinton: Where in the hell were the Marines?"
Matthew Holst / AP
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has his photo taken with Linda Stikle of Anamosa, Iowa, after he spoke at the Iowa GOP Lincoln Dinner on Friday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
"It was inexcusable, it was a dereliction of duty, and it should preclude her from holding higher office," the Kentucky Republican added to loud applause.
Republicans' search for a candidate to deliver their first victory in a presidential election since 2004 began as Paul used the plum speaking slot to plant the seeds for his own possible bid. And he won his biggest applause by taking on Clinton, who's seen as the early front-runner for the Democratic nomination to succeed President Barack Obama.
Paul was just elected to the Senate in 2010 and is perhaps best known as the son of the former Texas Congressman Ron Paul, whose two campaigns for president attracted a fervent, grassroots following that might translate to his son.
But the Kentucky senator has been far from shy about stoking speculation about his own play for the Republican nomination in 2016. He told reporters earlier Friday that he had not made up his mind and would not decide until 2014.
The fundraiser on Friday had unmistakable overtones of a presidential campaign, though the last one ended just six months ago. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, captured that sentiment best in his speech preceding Paul's: "The process of selecting the next leader of the free world begins in Iowa, and it's already begun."
Paul's speech doubled at times as a comedy scene, as he seemed at ease before the crowd, stepping away from the podium, microphone in hand, to project a casual demeanor. He rattled off jokes about absurd pork-barrel projects, recalling the campaign style of Arizona Sen. John McCain as he ran for president in 2008.
But Paul also used his closely watched speech to offer his own prescriptions about the path forward for the Republican Party, which has been suffering from somewhat of an identity crisis since Mitt Romney lost to Obama in last fall's election.
On no issue is that crisis more clear than immigration. A bipartisan bill has advanced in the Senate to allow undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship, but King and Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, both railed against the proposal in their speeches before Paul's.
Paul has spoken in favor of some kind of immigration reform, a dicey topic before this Republican crowd, and he acknowledged those disagreements. But he also tried to align himself with King and Grassley — two of the most stalwart opponents of immigration reform.
"I'm also with Sen. Grassley and Congressman King on the fact that I think we were hoodwinked in 1968," he said, referencing the last time Congress passed a major immigration overhaul. "We were promised security, and it never came."
But Paul also said there's a "chance [he] could vote for the bill" if he can add amendments strengthening its border security measures.
Paul also spoke about broadening the party's appeal, namely to Latinos, African Americans and young voters.
"We're an increasingly diverse nation, and I think we do need to reach out to other people that aren't like us, don't look like us, don't wear the same clothes, that aren't exactly who we are," he said. "We're going to have to do something."

Marketing a home in Fairfield: It's not just a 'For Sale' sign anymore
Not all sectors of the economy have rebounded from the Great Recession that began in 2008. The real estate market took a devastating hit, and while housing prices and sales in Fairfield County are on the upswing, neither are where they were six years ago.
Whether dictated by the lingering economic downturn and the larger amount of inventory on the market or the advent of social media or just a natural evolution in the selling process, realty agents are getting creative with their marketing techniques. They are augmenting the traditional methods of newspaper and online advertising, hosting open houses and networking with out-of-the-box measures to generate interest and offers for their listings.
Denise Walsh, who works from the downtown Fairfield office of William Raveis Real Estate, has organized several events called Twilight Tours on Thursday evenings this summer to introduce agents and prospective buyers to listings in particular neighborhoods. The tours also introduced them to local restaurants, which provided food for each of the houses featured on the tours.
"We want to give buyers a more convenient window to preview houses in a less pressured, more relaxing atmosphere," Walsh said. It gives them a sense, in an hour or two, what the inventory of homes is like and allows them to comparison shop.
Generally, public open houses feature dozens of listings spread throughout an entire town. It's geographically impossible to see all the featured houses in a Sunday afternoon. Each of Walsh's Twilight Tours, which she will repeat in the fall, concentrates on a handful of houses in one particular neighborhood making it easier to reach more of them.
In a newly constructed farmhouse at 95 Valley Road in Westport, Susan Vanech and Cynthia Melchiorri of William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty held an event in July they called Artful Summer Gathering, the aim of which was to showcase not only their listings but the town of Westport, focusing on its arts community.
Real Estate Listings
"We're not just selling a house; we're selling a community, a neighborhood. ... Westport is so rich in what it offers. People are aware of it but there's nothing like seeing it and feeling it and experiencing it," Melchiorri said.
They invited local professional and student artists to display their work. Michael Ross, managing director of the Westport Country Playhouse; Matt Mendell, executive director of the Westport Chamber of Commerce; local merchants, and other community notables were on hand to introduce out-of-town agents from Connecticut and beyond to Westport's cultural amenities.
"The vision for the event was to raise the profile of the community of Westport with our brokerage colleagues from Litchfield to New York City in order to share Westport's vibrant arts community, amenities like Longshore Country Club, diverse dining and retail offerings as well as the beautiful and expansive coastline for a lifestyle with commutability to New York City," Vanech said.
Julie Vanderblue, president of Higgins Group and founder of Vanderblue Associates, has combined business and community service to sell houses while also raising money and awareness for local charities like Operation Hope. The Luxury Home Tour featured 14 estates from Greenfield Hill in Fairfield to Greenwich, including the Westport Mediterranean-style home of multiple Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Michael Bolton.
Vanderblue will host another unique event, a benefit concert and home tour, in September featuring six luxury homes and an outdoor concert with Mystic Bowie. All proceeds go to Her Haven, a Monroe-based nonprofit organization that brings beauty, comfort and care to inspiring women and organizations that serve women.
"I love to hear what other agents are doing. We're in a new age, a new time, and we have to get creative about how we approach our work," Vanech said.
Another developing trend is the collaborative efforts of agents with their peers at competing realty companies, keeping in mind the adage "a rising tide lifts all boats" attitude. They are sometimes pooling their resources rather than playing on their usually competitive relationships.
"It's a team sport now, no matter what company you're with," said Jonathan Deak of Coldwell Banker, who works from the company's Westport office.
"We all work together cooperatively. More often than not, we do not sell our own listings; that is, a different agent brings the buyer. When one house sells it's good for all of us," said Susan Leone of Higgins Group in Fairfield.

A dog aboard a cross-country flight pooped in the cabin multiple times Wednesday, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing, passengers said.
Some passenger took to Twitter to share pictures and complaints about their journey on US Airways Flight 598 from Los Angeles to Philadelphia. They said the large dog relieved itself in the plane's aisle as many as three times, making people nearby physically ill.
"So the full sized dog that's on my flight, well it did what dogs do & went to the bathroom when it felt like it smack dab in middle of aisle," Twitter user @ChrisLaw wrote.
U.S. & World
The plane was diverted to Kansas City, Missouri, where a cleaning crew cleaned the messes, before eventually making its way to Philadelphia, according to passengers.
"The second time after the dog pooped they ran out of paper towels, they didn't have anything else. The pilot comes on the radio, 'Hey, we have a situation in the back, we're going to have to emergency land,'" passenger Steve McCall told "Inside Edition."
The emergency landing wasn't the only headache for those travelers. Before takeoff, Flight 598 was delayed on the tarmac at LAX for two hours for fuel problems, passengers said. Even with the frustration of delays, one passenger praised the work of the on-board crew.
"Easy to crush airlines in these situations, but the flight crew has been great during 1,000 gallon GasLeak/Dog S***-gate 2014. Kudos to them," the Twitter user @ChrisLaw tweeted.
US Airways spokesman Andrew Christie called the incident a "rare and unfortunate situation."

Harvey Weinstein is back in familiar stomping grounds this week — Cannes — for his first go-round at the Mipcom global TV sales market. If current trends at the Weinstein Co. continue, he could become as much of a fixture at the fall TV confab as he is at the glitzy spring film fest.
Weinstein's keynote address to the Mipcom crowd today signals the growing importance of television production to TWC's fortunes. The company has a dozen series projects in various stages of development and production, including its unscripted franchises "Project Runway" and "Mob Wives" (and their offshoots); a new foodie reality skein, "Supermarket Superstar," hosted by Stacy Keibler; and "Trailer Park Lives" for TLC.
On the drama front, the Weinstein Co. has teamed with Ryan Seacrest Prods. and Gotham gumshoe Bo Dietl to develop a private eye vehicle for FX. A big-budget priority for the company is its ambitious costume drama "Marco Polo," which has a 10-episode order from Starz and is set to lense in China next summer for a 2014 bow.
Weinstein, co-chief of TWC, is engaged in the creative development of skeins with his longtime lieutenant Meryl Poster, who heads TV operations. He's enjoying working in a different medium, and as a businessman, he believes that diversifying into TV will help his 7-year-old indie weather the inevitable volatility of the feature biz.
"The financial model of TV is incredibly appealing," Weinstein told Variety. "The ability to make a ton of money is there at any given moment. We can take these shows like 'Project Runway' and 'Mob Wives' and build huge franchises around them. Every idea you have for a show can become three if you play it right. It's invigorating."
Weinstein Co. and its Miramax predecessor had dabbled on and off in smallscreen biz for years, but the effort to build up a dedicated TV division was galvanized two years ago when former Miramax production prexy Poster rejoined the Weinstein fold. This time around, Poster told Weinstein that her interest was in television. That was all he needed to hear.
"Meryl coming back rekindled the best creative relationship I've ever had," Weinstein said.
Perhaps the most impressive part of TWC's TV biz is that the company has maintained ownership of its shows and its copyrights. With "Marco Polo" and other scripted development, the Weinstein Co. has demonstrated its ability to deficit-finance when necessary.
In the unscripted arena, where many production companies are essentially doing work for hire, the Weinstein Co. insists on retaining control. Under the direction of chief operating officer David Glasser, TWC has walked away from deals in the past over the ownership issue.
Controlling the copyrights allows Weinstein Co. to profit from international sales, format licensing, merchandising and other ancillary businesses. It even has a team focused solely on orchestrating product placement deals for its shows.
This year, TWC is also taking control of international TV distribution for the first time, after pacting in the past with outside distribs like Fremantle and Ben Silverman's Electus. Glasser has been pleasantly surprised to find that the company already has relationships through its feature business with many key Euro buyers such as Germany's ProSieben.
"All of these partners that we're already doing business with on the feature side, their doors are open to us for TV," Glasser said. "It's great to come into the market with shows we control that already have (U.S.) series orders."
The growth spurt in TV comes as the 7-year-old TWC has also enjoyed a solid run with its feature slate during the past few years. But Weinstein's been in the biz long enough to know that all hot streaks come to an end. (With characteristic enthusiasm, however, Weinstein assures that the pic slate for the coming year is "looking better than the last four years put together.") At some point, he concedes, the company will need to lean on the sturdy cash flow provided by successful TV series.
"Two years from now or so I'm sure we'll hit a rough patch," Weinstein said. "Building a strong independent TV business that doesn't tap too much of our financial resources will really smooth the ride for all of us financially. I only regret that we didn't start doing it earlier."

Sandy Hook hero harassed by callers
NEWTOWN -- A Sandy Hook man who sheltered six children fleeing the murderous rampage at their school and the organization that has spearheaded fundraising for the families affected have been inundated with phone calls and messages from conspiracy theorists claiming the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings were a hoax.
Local officials have used such words as "disgusting" and "despicable" to describe those who claim the killings were phony and orchestrated by President Barack Obama's administration to further their gun-control agenda.
Sandy Hook resident Gene Rosen, who lives near the school, confirmed that he has received emails and phone calls from people claiming he is part of a conspiracy.
Rosen, a retired psychologist, declined to elaborate Tuesday on what the callers said.
On Dec. 14, the morning of the shootings, he found six children from Sandy Hook Elementary School sitting in a circle, their faces "filled with terror" on his front lawn.
Rosen brought the children into his home and comforted them with a handful of his grandchildren's stuffed animals. He listened as they described in horror watching the gunman shoot their teacher, saying they could never go back to the school because, "our teacher is gone."
Rosen has been hailed as a hero who helped others in their time of need. He is not the only one who has been subjected to phone calls from conspiracy theorists.
The United Way of Western Connecticut, which established the Sandy Hook School Fund shortly after the shootings, has received many such calls in the past week, according to a statement released Tuesday by the organization.
Officials with the United Way said a Google technical error made it appear that the online form created to accept donations for the Sandy Hook fund was posted three days before the shootings occurred.
Conspiracy theorists have cited the discrepancy in dates as evidence of a hoax.
"It is preposterous and offensive that people are promoting something so hurtful and obviously untrue, while adding to what our community and our families are already experiencing -- a very real depth of pain and sorrow that is just unimaginable," a United Way spokesperson said.
Mark Fenster, author of "Conspiracy Theories: Secrecy and Power in American Culture," said conspiracy theories are rooted in a populist world view dating back to the American Revolution that makes people suspicious of the government or any concentration of power.
"There are folks who are afraid of the government, some for good reason, and some people who have a fear that someone is going to take their guns -- that seems a bit excessive," said Fenster, who is a law professor at the University of Florida. "But to grace this with the seriousness of real consideration gives it far more than it's really worth."
Fenster said that while people could make an honest argument that gun-control advocates will use the tragedy to further their agenda, "to question if this event even occurred, to say that parents are lying about the death of their child, it's very offensive."

LAWT News Service
Entering its 12th year, the annual Donate Life Run/Walk will celebrate the gift of life through organ, eye, and tissue donation with more than 12,000 people and more than 250 teams on Saturday morning, April 26, at Cal State Fullerton. The event has been dubbed the largest of its kind in the nation and occurs in concert with National Donate Life Month, which is being celebrated with cities and hospital events in coordination with OneLegacy, an organ recovery agency that serves the greater Los Angeles area.
Joining founders Kathleen and Craig Hostert (Fullerton) will be a variety of media and entertainment celebrities, including Kree Harrison, American Idol finalist; Kari Steel, KOST 103.5 radio host and mid-day host; Ysaac Alvarez, K-LOVE 107.5 Radio host; Ann Lopez, who donated a kidney to comedian George Lopez; and Phillip Palmer, KABC-TV anchor, who donated his kidney to a longtime friend. Lopez and Palmer will be available for photos with walkers and the public from 10:30 am until noon at the Marianne O'Quinn Living Donor & Recipient Village.
"We are so proud that this event continues to draw from all corners of Southern California and even beyond our state, and we are so appreciative of the busy celebrities who share their talents with us," said the Hosterts.
"We started the Donate Life Run/Walk after Craig's first kidney transplant as a community vehicle that would inspire as many people as possible to commit to being donors. Since that time, we have seen the California state donor registry become a reality with today showing 11 million registered donors. It's gratifying to witness the change that donation has made in our community, our lives, and most of all in our families."
Donation is very personal for the Hosterts, who faced Craig's first time on dialysis more than 14 years ago. Kathleen donated her kidney to him, and in 2012 their 23-year-old son Justin donated his kidney when the need emerged again. The Donate Life Run/Walk features a variety of entertainment, recreation, food, and shopping with more than 80 exhibitors, including the Discovery Science Center Bubble Fest Exhibit.
The presenting sponsor is accounting and consulting firm Moss Adams, LLP, which has a multi-year commitment to the event. Returning sponsors include W.L. Butler Construction in Irvine; Vons Stores; OneLegacy and St. Joseph Hospital of Orange.
Elected officials and businesses from cities across the Southland will participate in the event. More than 100 cities have proclaimed April as DMV/National Donate Life in answer to the organizers' "Mayor-athon" challenge.
"The Donate Life Run/Walk is a fitting culmination to a month of activities across the seven counties of Southern California," stated Tom Mone, CEO of OneLegacy. "Our Ambassadors and local hospitals have helped OneLegacy share the life-saving and legacy-creating value of donation by raising the Donate Life flag, joining leaders in issuing Donate Life Month proclamations, and helping our neighbors to sign up to be donors. In California, we have more than 22,000 people waiting for the gift of life among the more than 122,000 on the national waiting list; YOU can save a life, register at the DMV or www.donateLIFE california.org"

We hope you had a chance to watch or record the MTV Video Music Awards last night…especially if you want (or need) a new hairstyle.
If you haven't watched the VMAs yet, go to hollywoodlife.com. or click on the photo above. For us, Rihanna was the mane news last night. Unless you read about it right before the awards show, Rihanna cutting off her hair came as a big surprise. Our response: We love, love, love it!
While Ri got most of our attention, there were plenty of other hair headliners. Some are saying the newly shorn star was inspired by Miley Cyrus, Elisabeth Moss, Emma Watson (who has grown out her hair) and Anne Hathaway (who's in the process of going longer).
Speaking of Miley, she took an unexpected twist by wearing her hair up in a of-the-moment pompadour. She's able to lift her short cut because the crown is longer than the base.
Taylor didn't look much different on the Red Carpet, but why should she? Her glam looks work well for any gala, and little changes make her hair seem brand new. The darker, curly hair she sported for COVERGIRL were replaced by white blond, straight locks.
We were about to say Demi didn't wear a new look, but then we realized she had gone from dip-dye purple to a bright blond ombre! Knowing Ms. Lovato she'll be changing up her mane today or in the near future (with help from extensions, temp color, whatever).
That's all we have time for now, but we'll get back to the award-winning hairstyles ASAP!

NBA.com Preview
The New York Knicks hope to build on their first win with new point guard Stephon Marbury as they host the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night.
Marbury, Brooklyn native, was acquired with Penny Hardaway in last Monday's blockbuster eight-player trade with Phoenix. After the Knicks struggled with their new point guard in Thursday's blowout loss to Houston, Marbury collected 14 points and 11 assists Saturday as New York ended a four-game losing streak with a 94-88 triumph over Milwaukee.
"It was a great feeling. It was everything I imagined," Marbury said after Saturday's game. "It was just like I saw when I grew up here and played here (in high school). It was just a great atmosphere here tonight. To have this kind of atmosphere here every night is unbelievable to basketball. The electricity is back."
Kurt Thomas recorded a season-high 28 points, 16 rebounds and three blocks and Allan Houston added 26 points for the Knicks, who are 5-5 since Isiah Thomas became team president on December 22.
Dallas has dropped three of four games and fell to 4-13 on the road with Sunday's 115-102 loss at Detroit. Steve Nash paced the Mavericks with 18 points and 10 assists, but it wasn't enough as they allowed the Pistons to shoot 51 percent (40-of-78) and fell to 14-8 when scoring at least 100 points.
The Mavericks are six losses shy of their total from last season and were 31-5 through 36 games a year ago.
New York is 16-6 at home vs. Dallas. Last season, the Mavericks snapped a 10-game losing streak here with a 101-90 victory last January 24 as Dirk Nowitzki scored 30 points.
Monday marks the second time in three games that the Knicks are facing a former coach. Don Nelson guided New York to a 34-25 record for part of the 1995-96 season before being replaced by Jeff Van Gundy.
I'm predicting a win this game, by at least 6 points. It will be tough, but i do believe with all my heart this is a winable one. Plus that chaney will HAVE to win it if he's considering to keep his job

Last night, Tommy Lasorda made it perfectly clear that he wants to be referred to as "Tommy Pump" from now on. At present, Tommy Pump is on a mission to right the wrongs of Dodgers fandom.
"All I know is what I read on the paper. I've been with the Dodgers 62 years. All I'm concerned is with the fans. We have the greatest baseball fans in the country and I want to get them back. We will do it."
Shortly thereafter, Tommy Pump mentally ambled off into a land where Mini Me was at bat, bases loaded, options limited. Then, Tommy Pump was content.

You've already heard the song and seen the lyric video for Toby Keith's latest single, "I Like Girls That Drink Beer." Now Toby has released the 'official' music video for the song, and it's as rambunctious and party-ready as you would imagine.
The video was directed by Michael Salomon, who has helmed music videos for rock bands (Metallica's "One") as well as a wide range of country artists, from Nanci Griffith and Pam Tillis to Trace Adkins and Brooks & Dunn. He's also behind a whole bunch of Toby's best-known videos, including "Beer For My Horses" and "Red Solo Cup." Salomon even directed the 2008 theatrical film Beer For My Horses, which starred Toby (along with a whole range of musicians including Willie Nelson, Ted Nugent, David Allan Coe, Mel Tillis, and Mac Davis).
The "Girls That Drink Beer" video is based around a live performance of the song, and it shows both Toby on stage and the adoring fans in his audience (the majority of them female) often at the same time, using a split screen. It's got very few frills and so, like "Red Solo Cup," echoes the nature of the song–which of course, as anyone can guess, doesn't take a postgraduate degree to decipher. This is a song that's all about having fun and cutting loose. And, you know, drinking beer.
What do you think? Does it hold up to Toby's previous videos?
The song is the first single from Toby's upcoming album Hope on the Rocks, which is due out November 13.

A Higher Minimum Wage Does Not Equate to a Living Wage
Obama proposed increasing minimum wage during his State of the Union address.
Feb. 13, 2013 -- A full-time worker who earns a minimum wage today makes about $14,500 a year. That may be enough for a single person to live on in some parts of the country, but in others it doesn't come close.
Areas with high Hispanic populations, such as Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago, have higher than average costs of living, and many families struggle to make ends meet even when they earn a minimum wage.
President Barack Obama said he wanted to change that during the State of the Union address on Tuesday night. He called for an increase in the minimum wage to $9 an hour from the current rate of $7.25. He also proposed linking minimum wage to inflation so that increases in cost of living trigger an increase in the minimum wage.
The additional $1.75 an hour would give a minimum-wage earner about $3,500 more per year for a total of $18,000. But is that enough to offset the high cost of living in many places, and does it amount to a livable wage?
That much is up for debate.
The federal poverty level in 2009 for one person was $10,830 and $22,050 for a family of four. A family with two full-time minimum wage workers would theoretically rise above the poverty line.
But there is a difference between beating a federal marker and actually getting by.
According to 2009 Census data, the average Hispanic family earned about $40,000 in 2009. However, Hispanic households spent more than that, about $42,000 per year, including an average of nearly $16,000 on housing.
That number soars for some urban areas.
Households in the heavily Hispanic Los Angeles metropolitan area spent an average of more than $54,000 a year in 2009-10. In other words, they spent three times the poverty level. And the average family didn't spend an exorbitant amount on extras like entertainment. Most income goes toward housing costs.
As housing prices and the cost of living have soared in recent decades, the poverty level has not kept pace.
In 1999, it was $16,700 for a family of four when households in the L.A. area spent about $44,750 a year. The poverty level has gone up less than $6,000, while average expenditures have increased by nearly $10,000.
And Latinos are particularly vulnerable to poverty.
According to a report by the Department of Labor, Latinos working full-time earned a median weekly wage in 2011 that "was only 71 percent of that earned by Whites."
The report notes that the difference in earnings is due to a number of factors, including lower levels of education and different skill sets. Latinos are less likely to have college degrees, and less likely to work in high-paying management positions. Language barriers also play a role for Hispanics, particularly immigrants.
Latinos make up a quarter of all construction workers, an industry that has struggled to rebound following the economic slump and foreclosure crisis. And many work in food services and other industries that skirt minimum-age requirements by factoring in tips, which are anything but reliable.
Still, a number of Republicans argue that increasing the minimum wage will actually hurt workers, particularly those in low-paying jobs. They say it would harm small businesses by forcing employers to lay off workers, and drive up the price of goods and services. Businesses say they will have to downsize or pass the added costs on to consumers.
"Unemployment among young people will go up if the minimum wage goes up as President Obama says," freshman Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told CNSNews.com. "Unemployment among Hispanics, among African Americans, among those struggling to get their first job to climb the economic ladder, will go up."
Cruz added that his dad, a Cuban immigrant who worked as a dishwasher, would not have gotten a job if minimum wage increases had been forced on employers.
But the Obama administration disagrees. According to The Wall Street Journal, administration officials think the idea would lead to higher wages for at least 15 million Americans over the next couple of years.
"It could mean the difference between groceries or the food bank; rent or eviction; scraping by or finally getting ahead," Obama said during his speech on Tuesday night. "For businesses across the country, it would mean customers with more money in their pockets. And a whole lot of folks out there would probably need less help from government. In fact, working folks shouldn't have to wait year after year for the minimum wage to go up while CEO pay has never been higher."
It's not a new idea. As a presidential candidate in 2008, Obama proposed raising minimum wage even higher, to $9.50 by 2011, but the proposal didn't gain traction. Minimum wage has remained the same since the summer of 2009, although some cities and states have raised their own wages since then. San Francisco, for instance, has the highest minimum wage in the nation at more than $10 an hour.
Janet Murguía, president and CEO of the National Council of La Raza, the nation's largest Hispanic advocacy organization, applauded the president's suggestion.
"Hardworking Latinos already face a number of barriers to climbing the ladder to basic economic security, which is why lawmakers must push to strengthen and expand the middle class," Murguía said in a statement. "We can do that by investing in our economy and creating a strong, vibrant and healthy Latino workforce."
