By Karl Smith
Felix Salmon notes that effective Corporate Tax have been falling for decades.
I'd just like to add that its not immediately clear that the corporate tax actually matters in anyway. So, one potential effect of the corporate tax would be to increase investment in corporation and therefore increase the total profitability of the corporate sector.
Economists readers, note that we are dealing with aggregate accounting profits here. Not firm level economic profits. So, even in perfect competition we would expect an expanding sector with increased investment to show a rise in aggregate accounting profits.
However, lets check the tape
There is not a whole lot of obvious action here. From 1955 to 1980 corporate taxes were falling and corporate profits as a fraction of GDP were falling.
Then in the 80s and 90s the trend corporate taxes stabilized and corporate profits as a percentage of GDP rose slightly.
The in the 2000s corporate taxes fell again and corporate profits as a percentage of GDP rose.
We can also very quickly compare the corporate tax rate to non-residential investment as a fraction of GDP.
There we do get at least the right correlation during the 50 and 70s but it breaks down their after.
It short, the effect of the corporate tax, at minimum, is not extremely large on what we might first guess would be the target variables. Its not a prime driver of either aggregate corporate accounting profitability or non-residential fixed investment as a fraction of GDP.
Now clearly I see this as support for my long thesis that most things don't really matter, but some things do. That is to say, when dealing with a robust evolutionary-designed equilibrium systems like a capitalist economy, or the human body, or the human social network, most of the things you do to it are not going to make a difference precisely because it has evolved many layers of feedback and buffering.
However, evolution leaves little holes where certain shocks can make a massive difference. That's why you can put an animal through all kinds of physical abuse. For some worms, even chop them into pieces, they will heal and you can barely tell the difference. But, the tiniest, microscopic drop of a neuro-inhibitor will kill the whole organism within seconds.
Same thing with an economy. Smack it around. Impose a bunch of taxes. In the case of Japan , literally carpet bomb the whole thing, launch an actual nuclear strike, slaughter millions of people and annihilate the capital stock. What's the long run effect?
Basically nothing. Within 10 years its growing at a double digit pace. Within 25 years it's the second largest economy in the world.
However, let nominal interest rates get to zero and the whole thing keels over in a 20+ year paralysis that shows no signs of ending anytime soon.
Most things don't matter, but some things do.

Thanks to Trevecca's partnership with Eastern Nazarene College, Trevecca students can choose to spend a semester away at Eastern. Students will have the unique experience of living and studying in the incredible city of Boston. A center of history, education, finance, American culture and government, Boston has a lot to offer, no matter what your interest. Nestled in an urban residential neighborhood minutes from downtown Boston, Eastern is just a five-minute walk from the beach and a 10-minute walk to the T, Boston's subway system.
Things to do in Boston
Freedom Trail, Bunker Hill, Paul Revere's Home, America's first subway and railroad, USS Constitution, Boston Tea Party, JFK Library
Red Sox, Boston Celtics, New England Patriots
The Boston Symphony Orchestra, Museum of Fine Arts, Isabella Gardner Museum, Institute for Contemporary Art
Charles River Kayak, Blue Hills, Public Garden
Boston Common, Copley Square, North End, Harvard Square, Prudential, Top of The Hub
Faneuil Hall / Quincy Market, SOWA, Newbury Street
Original Dunkin Donuts, Whalburgers, Mike's Pastry, Fire+Ice, Legal Seafood, Union Oyster House
How it works
Students in good academic and social standing who have completed two full-time semesters at Trevecca may request clearance from the Center for Leadership, Calling and Service to participate in the semester exchange program. The program is only available to the first 10 approved students. Each student, who will remain enrolled at Trevecca, may take up to 18 semester hours at Eastern. Each student will continue paying their home tuition rates as well as room and board fees. Each student will be responsible for all of their travel costs.
- Any student interested in cross registration will pick up a form and Eastern course schedule from Rebecca Merrick (email@example.com; 615-248-1259) in the Center for Leadership, Calling and Service.
- Student will be responsible for following procedures for pre-registration deadlines including submission of the cross registration form, course substitution forms, and all forms for financial arrangements at Trevecca.
- Student should consult with the home academic advisor for course options (general education is recommended). After the appropriate signatures are obtained from the home school, the form (with signatures) should be returned to Rebecca Merrick. She will submit the form to the Cross Registration Officer at Eastern (Abbey Stanford).
- Eastern personnel will review the form for approval. The form will be returned to the student and Rebecca Merrick via email upon gaining the proper signatures from Eastern. Rebecca Merrick will distribute the form to Academic Records, Admissions, Financial Aid, and Student Development at Trevecca. Trevecca registrar will register the student for Eastern courses with Trevecca-approved course designations to enable the student to qualify for the Office of Financial Aid.
- The Eastern registrar will notify Rebecca Merrick via email of schedule changes during the semester including dates of added and dropped courses (this is to facilitate tracking required by financial aid).
- At the end of the term, Eastern's registrar will send an official transcript to Trevecca's registrar. The student will contact the Eastern cross registration officer for specific housing arrangements and all general questions.

One of my biggest issues with D&D is the five-minute work day. This is when PCs expend all their best powers and burn through their healing surges so quickly that they're useless unless they take an extended rest. The game is designed for PCs to have four or more encounters before they should need to take an extended rest but I suspect that many DMs rarely push through more than four encounters before calling it a day. However, there will be times when this just isn't possible – either because it doesn't make sense given how the story is progressing or the printed adventure doesn't allow it. In these cases the DM may need to get creative to keep the PCs alive until the end of the day.
Assuming the PCs can still take short rests then output isn't usually a big deal if the party continues on past four encounters. Sure they may not have those awesome daily powers at their disposal into the fifth encounter but they will have all their cool encounter powers. It's healing surges that usually become the biggest problem.
Strikers generally have the fewest surges to begin with, and unless the player has a reasonable Constitution score or the Durability feat they'll run out of surges quickly. What makes the problem worse is that as soon as monsters (intelligent monsters anyway) see a striker mowing through their ranks they'll target the biggest threat (the striker). Unless you've got advantageous tactics or a decent defender at your side, strikers end up taking damage every fight.
So what's a DM to do when this kind of thing happens? How do you keep a wounded party in the game and convince the players to push those PCs forward? It may just be a game, but players get emotionally attached to their PCs quickly and no one wants to enter a combat encounter knowing that their PC is likely to die. It's a delicate situation that requires some careful manipulation. The key is not to do so in such a way that it insults the players or belittles the game mechanic. Players want to do well but they don't want the DM to just give them an easy, unearned victory. It's a real balancing act and here are 8 suggested ways to pull it off.
1. Maximize Healing
A large party with only one leader has fewer chances to get those extra d6s from healing magic. One house rule that I've used with great effect is that bloodied PCs automatically get the maximum benefit from the overflow dice when a leader provides healing. I also allow leaders to maximize these dice if healing is done outside of combat (say if the PCs can take more than one short rest between fights). This makes the few surges they do have go a lot farther.
2. Temporary Hit Points
For soft PCs temporary hit points are as good as healing. By providing this buffer they don't lose real hit points and therefore don't need to receive healing as quickly during a fight. However temporary hit points aren't readily available to just anyone so DMs need to be creative when it comes to doling them out. A helpful NPC, usually with a divine or arcane theme, is a good way to buff the PCs without it seeming too out of place.
3. Redistribute Healing Surges
Comrades' Succor is a fantastic ritual that allows the party to redistribute their healing surges. This is especially useful if the party has more than one defender or a PC with really high Constitution. However, the party needs to have the ritual and time to use it. Since this is one of the few ways to help a PC who's out of surges that's actually in the book, I extend tremendous latitude when the party chooses to use this ritual. It's only 10 gp if they've already got access to it and only 150 gp for a scroll if they don't. With a 5 minute casting time it can be used during a short rest. I really don't know why every party doesn't have a few of these on hand. If they don't I will often award them as treasure early in an adventure. These can be more valuable and more beneficial then a few healing potions.
4. Replenish Healing Surges
There are a few powers that allow PCs to replenish healing surges, but they are rare, especially at low levels. So I will often find creative ways to bestow the gift of healing surges on the party or one PC who desperately needs them. There are two ways that I most commonly accomplish this. The first is to give the PCs food or drink that is somehow empowered. It might be a rare fruit, water from a magical pond, or blessed wafers. The other way is by touching a magic object or passing through a magical location like a ritual circle or archway. The key to using either of these devices is that it seems plausible given the party's circumstances. If they're already in a crypt perhaps they find a sarcophagus of a cleric of healing and touching his tomb while saying his name restores one healing surge to each PC. As long as the device doesn't seem out of place the party won't realize you've bent the rules for them.
5. Potions
Potions that replenish hit points or provide temporary hit points usually require the imbiber to expend a healing surge. Every once in a while I'll provide the party with one or two "special" potions that do not require the surge expenditure. The trick is to anticipate the need for this kind of gift and award it earlier then needed. If the party conveniently finds this kind of special surgeless potion on a corpse at just the right time they realize the DM is throwing them a bone. But if they've had the potion in their inventory since the fist encounter they're less likely to see it as bending the rules and more as good fortune and incredible luck.
6. Less Damage
If you know that the party is low on healing surges then don't inflict as much damage. When rolling damage use a die one step down from what's indicated, so 1d8 becomes 1d6 for example. It's a minimal change that will likely go undetected by players. In the grand scheme of things it may only minimize damage buy a few points here and there but sometimes that's all that's needed to get them through one more fight. Another option is to cut any additional damage in half or eliminate it all together. So if the monster deals 1d8+4 change it to 1d8+2 or just 1d8. This will have a much more noticeable reduction to damage.
7. Stupid or Careless Monsters
Unless the monsters are intelligent or have a component leader it makes sense that they'll attack anyone. Unless one PC is clearly a better target than another have the monsters spread their attacks around a little bit more. I don't generally do this unless the party is really hurting. In fact I usually have the monsters gang up on one guy until he's dead. But if they've already suffered this fate a few times, it might be time to have the monsters return to their baser instincts and just attack the nearest guy.
8. Play to the Party's Resistances
A lot of PCs will eventually acquire energy resistances. When PCs are getting low on healing surges it might be time to let those resistances play a bigger part in the combat. Have the monsters deal damage that matches the wounded PC's energy resistance. It might not stop him from getting hit but it can lessen the damage considerably. Of course it may seem strange that the Goblins all have acid weapons so try to find a way to explain this oddity. When in doubt you can always rely on magic. In this case have the Goblin shaman make a big display of casting a spell in the first round and then suddenly all his allies' weapons explode with acid. Alternatively just say he's go an aura that turns all his allies' attacks to acid when they're within 5 of him. These are very reasonable powers that don't insult the players or minimize their eventual victory.
These are just a few examples of ways to keep a wounded party in the fight. Anything that will minimize the five-minute work day and keep PCs without healing surges viable is good. These tricks are good for occasional use but players will see through the smoke and mirrors if you keep doing these things over and over again. Where possible don't force a wounded party to push on when they don't have the resources unless the story demands it. However, if a PC is reckless or stupid and finds himself out of surges because of his own mistakes then don't feel the need to reward him with these boons as often. Sometimes a PC has to fall unconscious (again and again) to learn how important good tactics and a decent Constitution really are.
How have you replenished lost healing surges and kept badly wounded parties in the fight? Do your players find it insulting when you throw them this kind of bone or do they expect it when they get down to the bare minimum or resources?

Dave D'Onofrio's Sox Beat: Lackey's performance key for SoxDAVE D'ONOFRIO
May 25. 2013 10:05PM
BOSTON -- A night after ex-manager Terry Francona came back, the Red Sox weren't nearly so welcoming when three more former teammates returned to the field at Fenway Park on Friday. All pitchers, Justin Masterson gave way to Rich Hill, who gave way to Matt Albers, and by the time their seven innings were over they'd been pummeled for a total of eight runs.
Meanwhile, in the other halves of those innings, John Lackey spent a soggy night in the midst of a masterpiece. And while merely a few months ago most fans of the team would've probably preferred he join the rest in the ranks of ex-Red Sox, it's beginning to look as though the oft-maligned right-hander will be a primary factor in deciding what the Sox make of themselves in the months to come.
It's true that the Sox woke up Saturday with more wins than all but one American League team (the Rangers), and that they trailed the Yankees by just a game for the top spot in the East division. But it's also true that their status was inflated by the early season performances of their top two pitchers: In games started by Jon Lester or Clay Buchholz, the Sox were 16-4; in games started by others, they were to that point 12-16.
That puts a ton of pressure on the pair at the front of the rotation, and as talented as Lester and Buchholz both are, it's unreasonable to expect they could sustain that level of success for the length of a season. So the Sox need more from the rest of the staff if they're going to stay in contention.
Over the winter they paid Ryan Dempster to give them that, though he's needed 212 pitches to get 23 outs over his last two starts, and he's searching for his location. Felix Doubront has been encouraging lately, but consistency is still a major question with him.
And that leaves Boston looking to Lackey - which was a scary suggestion for most of his first two years with the club, but is quickly becoming a more comfortable scenario as he reestablishes himself after reconstructive elbow surgery.
With seven innings of two-hit ball on Friday, the 34-year-old Texan has now tossed 13 frames without allowing an earned run over his past two outings, thereby lowering his earned run average to 2.72 on the season and continuing to exhibit excellent command.
He started 16 of 25 Indian hitters with strikes, and for the year he's now throwing first pitch strikes to two of every three batters he faces. That's more frequent than he ever has, and by getting ahead early, he's forcing hitters to stray from their approach.
Going into Friday, Pitch f/x data said hitters were swinging at 34.5 percent of the pitches he's thrown outside the strike zone. That's also a career-best rate, indicates that Lackey is dictating at-bats, and is a testament to the teasing deceptiveness of his off-speed stuff.
"Just goes out there and pounds the zone," catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. "When he gets in a hitter's count he's got great off-speed stuff he can throw for strike. He was great tonight."
Lackey isn't generally throwing any harder after Tommy John surgery, but his improvement in command and in the effectiveness of his breaking pitches has enabled him to throw his four-seam fastball almost four times as often as he did during his first two seasons with the Sox.
Accordingly he's drastically reduced the number of cutters he's throwing, but the results validate that approach. His walks are down, his strikeouts are up - and, in fact, he whiffed eight hitters Friday for the third time this season, already equaling the number of times he recorded at least that many strikeouts in his first 61 starts with the Sox.
"It's not like I've never been good before," Lackey said. "(I'm) not fighting a whole lot of old things, just being able to execute pitches."
John Farrell said it's evident that Lackey isn't thinking about the past when he's pitching, and the manager is seemingly beginning to trust his hurler's health and his ability more. Friday's 109 pitches were a season-high, and he was left in to handle the seventh inning with Boston holding a 4-1 lead.
Striking out the final two, he delivered - and it would be huge for the Red Sox if he continues to do so. In fact, when asked Friday night how big of a boon it would be if Lackey was to bolster the rotation the way he has in his last two turns, Saltalamacchia said, "If we keep pitching like this, we'll win the World Series."
He was joking, of course. But it's no joke to suggest Lackey - of all people - could ultimately determine whether the Sox are even in position to get there.
- - - - - - - -
Jacoby Ellsbury showed some signs of life late last week, reaching four times on Wednesday, then plating two runs as part of a game-busting rally Friday night. If that doesn't lead into some sort of breakout, there's speculation that Ellsbury could lose his leadoff spot, considering the Sox entered the weekend with the AL's second-worst on-base plus slugging from that spot in the order.
Though the first batter is hardly the only slot in which the Sox pale in comparison to the league. Dustin Pedroia's two puts the Sox dead last in home runs by their No. 3 hitter. Their No. 5 hitters strike out more than anyone. So do their No. 7 hitters. And their No. 8 hitters have combined for a well-below-average OPS.
Based on that, a lineup shake-up could be forthcoming.
- - - - - - - -
Stat of the week: Masterson has yielded 10 runs in 11 innings (8.18 ERA) against his old team this season, while surrendering 17 runs in 65 innings (2.35 ERA) against the rest of baseball.

Fame Wore: 'The Expendables' Vegas Premiere Features Old Guys, Classy Ladies
I'm not here to say that old men don't have a place in our fashion industry. Just look at some of the greats, like Calvin Klein or Marc Jacobs: Both are over 40, and both still provide what is essentially the backbone for the fashion economy. Sure, they might not be the most glamorous or provocative once they are past their prime (19-32, approximately), but they still churn out fan favorites.
Where old men definitely don't have a place though, is on the cutting edge of wearing the latest trends. I know I'm going to get a lot of harsh reactions from this, but it's true! Who wants to see grandpa in the same purple blazer that Ed Westwick pulled off at a Vogue party last week? Stick with the simple suits, old guys, and you'll be fine.
At least, that's what I took from this uber-premiere party for The Expendables in Las Vegas this week: I didn't actually watch the film, so ex-squeeze me if I didn't know it was supposed to be Gran Torino 2, but I have to say that the ladies at this party were way more classy than the guys, who stuck either with ill-fitting suits or weird eye-grabbing garb. Who knows who these dudes were: studio execs maybe, or someone's older uncle who didn't take his meds and accidentally wandered past security and the red ropes. All I know is: Wrinkles are gross, and aren't appropriate for any season.

The Stanley Cup is obviously the best possible outcome for the Canucks in 2012-13 (technically, sweeping the Bruins in the Cup Final would be the best possible outcome). And missing the playoffs would be the worst possible outcome (again, the absolute worst possible outcome would be a 30th place finish in the league).
What has to happen for the first outcome to come true for Vancouver? And what do the Canucks have to worry about if they hope to avoid the second outcome coming true?
Five Best Case Scenarios:
Alex Edler finally demonstrates consistency, signs a new contract.
There have been three or four times during his career in Vancouver that Alex Edler has played like an elite defenseman. One of them was during the first half of the 2011-12 regular season. Another was during the postseason against Los Angeles (no, definitely not in 2012, but back in 2010). Edler has shown that he can step his game up (both offensively and physically) at important times.
But can he ever develop into that defenseman on a full-time basis? If he meanders through another season, the Canucks may not be willing to invest a lot of money and term into a contract extension for him. There is nothing holding Edler back from becoming a top 10 defenseman in the league. He is big, strong, and mobile. He makes a great first pass and he can run a power play. He just needs to bring it all together at the same time.
Ryan Kesler comes back 100% healthy.
Kesler isn't the "best" player on the team, but he is the most important. Let's use the example of a car. The Sedins are the engine that drives the offensive attack. The defensive group led by Kevin Bieksa and Dan Hamhuis are the wheels. But Kesler, he's the special turbocharged fuel that transforms the car from an ordinary one into an impressive machine. When he is at his best, opposing teams have a near-impossible task of trying to match up against two top line centers.
The Sedins re-emerge as premier offensive players.
I tend to think that if Kesler comes back 100%, this will take care of itself. The twins turn 33 in 2013 (in Septmeber), but their style of play should enable them to contribute offensively well into their mid-to-late 30's.
Cory Schneider builds off of his success last season, handles heavy workload.
Schneider's numbers over the past few years are very, very impressive. And last season he was given a more difficult workload. He won a few big games for the Canucks, providing consistently elite goaltending along the way. He's ready.
David Booth shows he can shoot more than a gun, finds back of net with regularity.
All things considered, Booth's first season in Vancouver wasn't as big of a disappointment as many think (although he was invisible offensively in the playoffs against the Kings). Booth scored at a solid pace considering he saw almost no power play time, and was playing with a banged up Kesler as his center. If Booth can score at a 20-25-goal pace when he returns from his groin injury, the Canucks will be just fine for secondary scoring. Until then? Let's hope Hansen, Raymond and Kassian can raise their game.
Five Worst Case Scenarios
Ryan Kesler rushes back from injury, the Canucks are a one line team again.
The Canucks proved last season that they are simply a good team when Kesler isn't at his best. Yes, they won a second consecutive Presidents' Trophy, but when the games mattered the most their secondary scoring lines weren't able to generate any sort of sustained pressure.
Schneider struggles a bit with limited rest time in between starts
If Luongo is traded, Schneider's first season as an official NHL starting goaltender will be a bizarre one. Routines and practice schedules will be thrown out of whack during the condensed 48 game season, and it will be interesting to see how goaltenders are affected, who are widely regarded as arguably the most habitual athletes in all of sports.
The Sedins continue their offensive decline.
Was last season a blip on the radar, or a sign of things to come for Vancouver? The Canucks window to win likely closes (for a little while, at least) once the Sedins are no longer elite. Does that happen sooner than we all think it will?
Neither Edler or Garrison are able to play on the right side.
The Canucks are hoping that one of Edler or Garrison – but probably Edler – are able to adjust to playing permanently on the right side. Both are left- shooting defensemen, but it isn't out of the question for a left-shooting defenseman to play on his off side (Christian Ehrhoff was fantastic for the Canucks for a few years on the right side, Jack Johnson does it in Columbus, Phaneuf in Toronto etc.). The Canucks only have Bieksa and Chris Tanev as right side defensemen and Edler struggled on the right side last season. Keith Ballard isn't comfortable there, either. One of these players is going to have to adjust for the top-four will be in disarray…
Cody Hodgson wins the Art Ross and Hart, Luongo is traded to Edmonton and wins the Vezina, Duncan Keith wins the Lady Byng.
At least the call-in radio shows would have discussion material for… infinity.
Like it or not, Hodgson is going to be followed by fans and media in this market for a long time. Personally, I wish him success in Buffalo (I think his situation in Vancouver was more a product of him listening to people around him too much).
I also wish Luongo success wherever he goes – he is/was the greatest athlete this city has ever seen. But just not in Edmonton, please.
And Mr. Keith has a date with the Canucks coming up in a few weeks. Plan your schedules accordingly.

Couldn't agree more – as far the article goes! But I think there are actually 3 facets to a successful website:
1. Content that serves the right audience and business goals
2. 'Findability' to ensure that people reach the site
3. Usability, so they can achieve their (and your) goals
Amazon & eBay may be exceptions, but they're arguably exceptions that help prove the rule.

The Great Cluster in the constellation Hercules – also known as Messier 13, or M13 – is considered to be the finest globular cluster in the northern half of the heavens. It's found in a star pattern called the Keystone – a lopsided square within the constellation Hercules – between the two brightest stars of northern spring and summer, Vega and Arcturus.
How to find M13
M13 is not the easiest of sky objects to spot, but once you find it, you'll be able to go back to it again and again. It's located in the constellation Hercules, between summertime's two brightest stars, Vega and Arcturus.
About one-third the way from Vega to Arcturus, locate the four modestly bright stars forming the Keystone of Hercules. On the Arcturus side of the Keystone, M13 is found between the stars Eta Herculis and Zeta Herculis. On a dark, clear night, the unaided eye barely perceives the Hercules cluster as a faint and possibly fuzzy point of light. This "fuzzy" star is much easier to make out in binoculars. A typical binocular field is about 5 to 6 degrees in diameter, and the Hercules cluster is found about 2.5 degrees south of Eta Herculis.
Globular star clusters are huge globe-shaped stellar cities teeming with tens to hundreds of thousands of stars. Globular clusters orbit the Milky Way galaxy outside the galactic disk at tens of thousands of light-years away. In contrast, the relatively nearby Pleiades and Hyadesopen star clusters reside within the galactic disk, and usually harbor a few hundred to a thousand stars.
The best way to see this beautiful cluster
Like all globular clusters, the Great Cluster in Hercules is best viewed through telescopes with large apertures (light-gathering capability). Otherwise, the stars in this cluster at 25,000 light-years away are hard to resolve.
M13 looks like a dim, fuzzy star to the unaided eye. In binoculars and low-power telescopes, this cluster looks somewhat like a hazy mothball, resembling a comet in appearance. In fact, the famous comet hunter Charles Messier (1730-1817) listed M13 in his Messier catalog, to steer comet seekers away from this masquerade comet.
If you don't have a telescope, or are unfamiliar with how to use one, how about attending a public star party? That way you can view M13 through an assortment of telescopes. This bejeweled ball of perhaps a half million suns is well worth checking out on a clear, dark night.
At mid-northern latitudes, the M13 cluster can be found in the sky for at least part of the night all year round. It's up all night long in May, June and July. In August and September the Hercules cluster is still very much a night owl, staying up till after midnight.
Brighter globular star clusters
The Southern Hemisphere sky can boast of two globular star clusters that are more massive and brighter than the Great Hercules cluster: Omega Centauri and 47 Tucanae.
Omega Centauri can be seen – but not very well, only low in the southern sky. You have to travel far south to catch even a glimpse of 47 Tucanae.
And that leaves us in the north with the Great Cluster in Hercules. A fine consolation prize it is! Of the Milky Way's 250 or so globular clusters, the Great Hercules cluster reigns supreme in the northern hemisphere, or north of the celestial equator. If you get a taste for globular clusters, be assured that many more await for you in the northern skies. There are 29 globular clusters listed in the Messier catalog alone.
Globular star clusters, unlike open star clusters such as the Pleiades, are tightly held together by gravity. Whereas open clusters break up after hundreds of millions of years, globular clusters remain intact after billions of years.
When you gaze at M13 or other globulars, you are looking at stars that are thought to be 12 to 13 billion years old. That's almost as old as the universe.

The Broward County Board of County Commissioners approved an Ordinance relating to lobbying activities. This Ordinance expands the activities for which a person must register as a lobbyist with Broward County and the penalties for violating the registration and reporting requirements of the Broward County Lobbyist Registration Act.
Access a searchable database of registered lobbyists with Broward County.
Broward County has launched Online Lobbyist Registration, by selecting New Registration. The current lobbyist registration period ends on June 30, at which time registration will automatically expire and, effective July 1, 2009, lobbyist registration will be online.
Online registration offers several benefits, including:
The Broward County Board of Commissioners adopted a Cone of Silence Ordinance which substantially restricts vendors and vendor representatives (including lobbyists) from communicating with County Commissioners, County Administration, Selection/Evaluation Committee members and other staff members involved in making a recommendation or a decision in the award of a contract pursuant to a competitive solicitation.
For County Commissioners, the Cone of Silence begins at the time of bid opening for an Invitation to Bid (ITB) and the first meeting of the Selection /Evaluation Committee (Short Listing) for a Request for Letters of Interest (RLI) or a Request for Proposal (RFP). For staff, the Cone of Silence begins at the time of the advertisement of the solicitation for an ITB and at the time the Selection/Evaluation Committee is approved for a RLI or RFP.

The concept of Common Errors is a fuzzy one. We leave to linguists the technical definitions. Here we're concerned only with deviations from the standard use of English as judged by sophisticated users such as professional writers, editors, teachers and literate executives and personnel officers. The aim of this page is to help you avoid low grades, lost employment opportunities, lost business and titters of amusement at the way you write or speak.
If your standard usage causes other people to consider you stupid or ignorant, you may want to consider changing it. You have the right to express yourself in any manner you please, but if you wish to communicate effectively, you should use nonstandard English only when you intend to rather than fall into it because you don't know any better. Other sites do this. Ours is dedicated to errors in usage. This page is really aimed at the most errors of native speakers. The errors others make in English differ according to the characteristics of their first languages. Speakers of other languages tend to make some specific errors that are uncommon among native speakers.
We all commit mistakes from time to time. If you think you've found an error in our own writings, you are welcome to let us know it at once.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel launched an ardent defense of President Barack Obama in Iowa on Saturday, telling local Democrats that in order to create security for the middle class, "we just can't cut our way to prosperity."
Obama's former chief of staff rallied about 1,300 people during the Iowa Democratic Party's largest annual fundraiser in Des Moines. Emanuel told the crowd that Republicans want to solve the nation's debt problem only through spending cuts, while Obama favors a balanced approach of cuts and tax increases.
"To create true middle-class security, we can't just cut our way to prosperity," Emanuel said. "We must out-innovate, out-educate and out-build the world."
Emanuel said Obama has made crucial, tough decisions based on his principles to help the country _ and not in an attempt to lay the groundwork for a second term in the White House. And he asked the crowd whose judgment they wanted leading the country during such a critical economic time.
"In the next four years, there will be more challenges and more crises that will determine the economic vitality of the middle class and the economic future of this country," Emanuel said. "Whose character, whose judgment do you want in that office?"
Obama has a solid history in Iowa. His surprising win in the state's precinct caucuses four years ago launched him on the road to the White House, and he easily carried the state in the 2008 general election.
Emanuel's appearance in the key early-caucus state was a chance for Democrats to grab attention from several Republican presidential candidates making their case to social conservatives across town. Emanuel used the opportunity to criticize GOP candidate Mitt Romney, even though Romney wasn't in Iowa.
The mayor cited the sharply different views that Obama and Romney had on rescuing the auto industry and propping up the nation's financial system. He argued that Obama's views have been proven right, while Romney's stance to not offer federal financial assistance would have destroyed the two key industries.
Emanuel also said Romney has flip-flopped in his political views, such as taking a more conservative stance on abortion and gun control.
"Mitt Romney says he's a man of steadiness and consistency. If that's true, then I'm a linebacker for the Chicago Bears," said the slim, 5-foot-8 1/2 mayor.
In an interview before the event, Emanuel said he was looking forward to the prospect of a lengthy, heated Republican primary race _ and the exposure it gives to the GOP candidates.
"I think a lot of people want to see it over quickly, and I don't think they're going to get that," he said.
Sounding the populist theme that Obama has been offering in recent weeks, Emanuel also said the president is focused less on the difficulty of his tasks as president and more on the struggles of the American middle class.
"He continues to help them try to get their feet back on the ground. That's the struggle he's worried about, not his struggle," Emanuel said.

ROME (Reuters) - Outgoing Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti has many unquestioned qualities but it is starting to seem that bold political decision-making may not be one of them.
After keeping his supporters waiting for weeks to know whether he would lead them in Italy's upcoming election, Monti held an eagerly awaited news conference on Sunday - and announced that they would have to wait a little longer.
For most of his 13 months in office Monti repeated that he would withdraw from politics when his term ended.
In September he changed tack and said he would be willing to serve a second term but only if the election produced no clear winner, and then in the last few weeks he let it be known that he was considering actually running in the election.
Monti's indecision over whether to stand or not dominated Italian media coverage in just the same way that similar changes of position by his predecessor Silvio Berlusconi had done a couple of months earlier.
The issue dominated the two-hour news conference but by the end of it, journalists were still scratching their heads over what the former European commissioner had actually decided.
"I have to say that I still don't understand anything," Lucia Annunziata, one of Italy's most experienced journalists told Monti in a television interview later in the day.
Roberto Maroni, the leader of the pro-devolution Northern League party, tweeted his derision.
"I'm not running, but maybe I am ... Monti has learned from the most false Christian Democrats of the first Republic," he said, referring to the party that ruled Italy for 60 years after World War Two and was famed for its opaque political intrigues.
The picture is now somewhat clearer and can be summed up as follows: Monti will present a list of policy priorities and wait to see if a credible centrist alliance emerges that adopts the plan as its own and has a chance of doing well in the election.
If this happens, he will agree to stand at the election as the alliance's candidate for prime minister.
While this strategy may seem a cautious one, the risk for Monti is that by promoting a centrist alliance he has sacrificed his aura as a non-partisan technocrat. After being put on a pedestal for most of his premiership, he will now be fiercely attacked in the election campaign by left and right alike.
It may also all be for nothing, as polls show the centrist parties that back Monti currently command no more than about 10 percent of the vote.
Monti said he hoped new forces from "civil society" emerge to join forces with them and create a major bloc, yet he admitted this was a gamble with "many risks and a high probability of failure".
If the snowball effect does not materialize, it can be assumed that Monti will simply decline to offer his name to any party, and will be no more than an onlooker at the election.
A taste of what he is in for in his new role as politician rather than technocrat was already clear on Sunday from potential foes at the election. Berlusconi said a new Monti government would be a "nightmare".
Another risk for Monti is that what follows may partly overshadow the notable achievements of what has gone before.
The 69-year-old former economics professor replaced the scandal-plagued Berlusconi last year as sky rocketing borrowing costs threatened to plunge Italy into a Greek-style debt crisis.
When Berlusconi pulled his backing for Monti's technocrat government on December 6, the gap between Italy's benchmark bonds and safer German Bunds stood below 3.2 percentage points, little more than half the level when Monti took over.
With his economist's training and measured, sober manner Monti was the perfect antidote to the discredited Berlusconi.
His rapport with German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been particularly crucial as for the first time in years Italy's view began to be taken seriously in European decision-making.
In a heady first few months that saw him named European of the year in the French parliament and feted by the international media he acted decisively to convince investors that Italy could bring its finances under control.
Capitalizing on record approval ratings he rushed through 20 billion euros ($25.86 billion) of deficit cuts including a widely praised pension reform to raise the retirement age.
He lost some of that shine, at least domestically, as the months went on and the recession deepened, aggravated by a raft of tax hikes. Subsequent reforms to deregulate services and the labor markets got bogged down and diluted by parliamentary and union opposition.
Economists are divided over the quality of Monti's attempts to free up Italy's economy but he has remained the darling of financial markets and he undoubtedly began to address deep-rooted problems that festered unattended for years.
He said this week that the structural reforms needed to make Italy competitive had only just begun. Investors will be pleased to see that there is still a chance that after February's election Monti till still be in charge to tackle them. (Reporting By Gavin Jones; Editing by Stephen Powell)

You already know that Dolphins defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle had both Cameron Wake and Jared Odrick, both starters, out of the game in the fourth quarter on Sunday against New England when the Patriots got the ball with seven minutes left to play.
And the Patriots began a march that sealed the victory for them and during that march, Cameron Wake tried to get in the game at least once that I know of, but was told to stay out.
Coyle defended the move of having his best players out of the game by saying the team had plans of shuttling defensive linemen to keep everyone fresh and that was part of the plan. And Joe Philbin agreed with the strategy.
Well, defensive captain Karlos Dansby disagrees. During his weekly appearance on the Jorge Sedano Show on WQAM today, Dansby said he didn't even realize Wake and Odrick were not there because he was in the heat of the moment.
But told that was the case, Dansby obviously didn't like the idea.
"That's though, man. That's tough," Dansby said. "You have to go into the game with players that are going to have impact. That's how you got to look at it. I'm saying, they're starters, they need to be in the game. Period. That's how I look at it. You have to fight, but like I said, I'm not the coach. I can't make that decision."
Dansby plays every play every game. So does Kevin Burnett. How would he react if he was taken out for rest purposes?
"I know if it was me on the sideline, I'd be raising hell trying to get back in the game personally," he said. "That's just me."
The sound:
Karlos Dansby disagrees with Joe Philbin
This is what Philbin said on the subject Monday:
"When you play the New England Patriots, it's important with the way they play the game, the tempo that they have, it's important to have guys that are fresh and ready to roll, and guys that can play hard every single snap. So that was our plan throughout the course of the game and we stuck with that plan and we were rotating guys throughout the course of the game. And we were doing so in that drive as well."
Well, it didn't work. But does Philbin stand by the decision?
"Absolutely," he said.

The Council of Elrond
The Council of Elrond is the second chapter of the second book in The Fellowship of the Ring.
Somehow representatives from all the major groups living in Middle-earth have all made their way to Rivendell. Each made the trip on separate matters of business. Each of them are called to the council to represent their faction concerning the Ring of Power and the threat of invasion by Sauron and the Black Riders. Frodo is introduced to Elves, Dwarves, Men, and others of his own Hobbit race that he does not know personally.
Elrond addresses the subject of the Ring. It seems that Sauron has declared war unless he recovers the Ring. Boromir, representing the Steward of Gondor, has had a dream about the Ring. In his dream, he is instructed to find the Ring, a halfling and a broken sword. Strider produces the broken sword--the one Frodo has been using. Frodo produces the Ring. And Frodo himself is the halfling. All these things reveal that Strider, or Aragorn, is the rightful heir to the throne of Gondor. Boromir and his people vow to fight Sauron.
Bilbo stands up to tell everyone how he took the Ring from Gollum. Gandalf joins in to explain how Gollum himself came to possess the ring and how it has changed him and Sauron. In the past, Gandalf's search for knowledge has led him to many records written in the past which explain the history of the Ring and ways to recognize it.
Gandalf tells them how he captured Gollum and gave him to the elves for safekeeping. But an elf named Legolas announces that Gollum has escaped. Gandalf goes on to tell how he himself has been held captive by Saruman, a chief wizard of his order. Unfortunately, Saruman himself has been seduced by power. He wants the Ring and will do just about anything to get it. When Gandalf refused to tell Sarumon the whereabouts of the Ring, he was imprisoned. But an eagle saved him and that is how he came to be at Rivendell with Frodo and his companions.
The council discusses many ways of dealing with the Ring, but none seem satisfactory. Eventually they decide the best course is to let Frodo continue on his quest.

RC Icon Premium Cola (rebranding of RC draft?)
I was browsing the RC Cola International website and noticed the RC Draft was no longer listed, but instead there was RC Icon Premium Cola. The product description seemed to be the same as RC draft's description. Gone is the dark beer-like bottle and is replaced with clear bottles and cans. Anybody heard anything about availability?
After looking at the RC Cola International website, it looks like they've revamped their entire lineup. They've added flavor extensions of Upper 10 and renamed Diet RC Cola "RC Cola Zero." Too bad that we won't see any of these in the US. RC Cola International is owned by Cott.

n 2006, the Environmental Protection Agency fined the company that ran the fertilizer plant $2,300 and told the owners to correct problems, an EPA spokesman told CNN.
David Gray said the company certified that it had fixed the deficiencies, which included a failure to file a risk management program plan on time.
Also in 2006, West Fertilizer had a complaint filed against it for a lingering smell of ammonia, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality website shows.
Separately, the plant had informed the Environmental Protection Agency that it presented no risk of fire or explosion, according to The Dallas Morning News. It did so in 2011 in an emergency planning report required of facilities that use toxic or hazardous chemicals.
The plant's report to the EPA said even a worst-case scenario wouldn't be that dire: There would be a 10-minute release of ammonia gas that wouldn't kill or injure anyone, the newspaper reported.

I use poultry and meat magic,bought the seven spice no salt.I won't use any other spices,why would I?
Susan, Apr 8th 2015
We use Poultry Magic on everything! My grand daughter won't eat chicken unless it has "the special spice" on it!
Lynda Catalano, Oct 26th 2014
Chef Paul I\'ve been looking for your seasoning blends and have not found any. What Iocal stores in south Kansas City Missouri carries your product? I\'d like to try it out; or do you have samples?
Fawn Collins, Mar 29th 2014
Great I love them ....gives an added depth to any stir fry ...
naseem, Oct 21st 2013
I'm a renal dietitian. You sent some samples to me and they were gone in a week! My picky patients loved them. Would you send me some more samples (I have 100 patients) and let me know of any nearby stores that sell any flavor of your no salt spices? The clinic is located at: 530 Clara Barton Blvd #105, Garland, TX 75042. Thank you!
Tina Davis, Apr 23rd 2013
I had the pleaure of meeting Chef Paul years ago at the Chicago NRA show. Have been using his products for years. Was really happy to see that they finnally started selling salt and surgar free products. Same great herbs and blends and no salt or sugar!
Don, Mar 21st 2013
The seasoning tastes wonderful. Very pleased with this product. Slender style of the bottle makes it easy to fit in the cabinet
filter, Mar 21st 2013
Nice Spice, not too spicy, but tasty. I personally would have liked it to have a bit more bite, but at least it isn't full of junk like some much of everything is these days, like HFCS, sugar, etc.
Atlantic Aviator, Mar 21st 2013
This is the best seasoning that I've had.
Leslie KEy, Feb 9th 2013
Made the mistake of only ordering one. My husband uses it on everything!! Ordering 4 more right now! When will it start coming in the BIG cans?
Leslie Moseberth, Oct 8th 2012
Just recieved my order and tried it with my Sunday dinner, which was chicken with gravy. I did not have to add anything. The flavor was out of the world. I had to order it on line because my grocer did not have it but it was worth it.
Barbara , Apr 30th 2012
Love this, you can use it in anything, need to make it available in canister size though. Great product!!
janet, Mar 13th 2012
Use this on everything especially great on the burgers we grilled out for New Years, everybody loved the flavor!

Wanted! Sheriff searching for fugitive
The Jefferson County Fugitive Warrants Division requests the public's assistance in locating wanted felon, 22-year-old Shawn David Dages.
Dages is described as a 6 foot 2 black male weighing approximately 205 pounds. His tattoos reportedly include two on his right upper arm reading "World is Mine / Money" and "Hustle Hard," one on his left upper arm reading "HOGG Faithful, Honest, Respect" and one on his chest of a crown reading "Money."
According to a news release from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Dages is wanted for aggravated assault in relation to a Dec. 26, 2013 incident in which he caused bodily injury to his then-pregnant girlfriend, including breaking the woman's jaw. Due to his "violent tendencies," no one should attempt to detain Dages. Instead, anyone with information regarding Dages whereabouts should call Crime Stoppers at (409) 833-TIPS (8477). Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1000 for information leading to the location and arrest of Dages or any wanted fugitive.

OTTAWA (AP) -- Senators defenseman Jared Cowen is out of action for six to eight months following surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left hip.
The club says the 21-year-old Cowen is expected to make a full recovery from Saturday's operation in New York.
Cowen, the No. 9 overall pick in the 2009 NHL draft, played in all 82 games last season as a rookie, scoring five goals and adding 12 assists with a minus-4 rating. He also was in the lineup for Ottawa's entire seven-game, first-round playoff matchup against the New York Rangers. Cowen had one assist and four penalty minutes in the series loss.
In three games this season for Binghamton of the AHL, while the NHL was shut down because of a lockout, Cowen had three assists.

This Week In Island History
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 100 years ago came from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago
From the Newport Journal, Feb. 27, 1914
At the meeting of the Jamestown Historical Society held at Dr. Bates' Sanitarium Saturday afternoon, Mr. W.P. Sheffield spoke on old land records in Jamestown. He showed great familiarity with land holdings in the town from its earliest settlement and his interesting and instructive address was listened to with great interest.
A portion of the Bryer plat wharf has been carried away by the ice and storms.
The northerly wind Monday night broke up the ice in Dutch Island harbor and for the first time in two weeks the boat to and from Fort Greble is able to make its trips on time, there being no ice in the north end of the harbor. Shefletters field's pond and the lower part of the harbor on a line from the ferry landing to the head of the wharf at Fort Getty are still one unbroken sheet of ice.
75 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, Feb. 25, 1939
The War Department has other plans, not only for Fort Adams, but also other posts of the Narragansett Bay defenses, among them Fort Greble. New construction, aided by the WPA, has been going on at these posts for some time. The nature of the intended use has not been indicated.
From the Newport Daily News, Feb. 28, 1939
The notes to cover the $40,000 required by the Jamestown & Newport Ferry Company to maintain its system in full operation are to be issued by the ferry company and paid for from ferry company income and will not, by law, be listed as bonded indebtedness of the town, and so will not involve the legal limit of such indebtedness.
50 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, Feb. 27, 1964
The Jamestown Players will present a play entitled "Scrambled Eggs," a one-act comedy tomorrow and Saturday at the recreation center. A variety show will also be presented. From the Newport Daily News,
Feb. 28, 1964
The Jamestown Town Council at a special meeting last night adopted a resolution accepting the workable program for housing for the elderly. This was to complete application for the planning loan for $7,000 from the Housing and Home Finance Administration for a unit to house elderly people in Jamestown, under the federal program.
25 years ago From the Newport Daily News,
Feb. 28, 1989
The Town Council Monday expanded the role of the new police station building committee to include examination of all future town buildings needs. The lack of a long-range, all-inclusive town building plan was one criticism of voters who, in February, soundly defeated a council-backed plan to build a two-story addition to the police station.
15 years ago
From the Jamestown Press,
Feb. 25, 1999
The Town Council will hold a public workshop on the closed north end landfill tonight.
Town officials will ask voters to approve the 1999-2000 municipal budget at the annual financial town meeting next Monday. The combined recommended spending plan for both town operations and the School Department totals $11.65 million.
10 years ago
From the Jamestown Press,
Feb. 26, 2004
Vollmer Associates of Boston, the town's engineering consultants for the new highway barn at Taylor Point, Monday outlined for the Town Council its preliminary plans for the facility, but still no cost estimates were given.
The destruction of the old Jamestown Bridge is going to cost several million dollars more than the state Department of Transportation initially expected. With the additional $6 million, the total budget for the project will be approximately $20 million.

About Me
- Lola Sharp
- My name is Lola. (I'm not a showgirl) Yes, L-O-L-A Lola. It's the least of my worries. Let's move on, shall we? This blog is mostly about my misadventures on the journey to publication and beyond. My passion for lush prose, quirky characters, art, music, literature, performing arts and anything creative will be a major theme here. This journey of mine will not always be pretty. Much like rubbernecking a train wreck, I know sometimes you just can't help but look at the carnage that is often my life. So strap on your neck brace, helmet and 5-point harness and come along for the ride! Licentia poetica.

Thank you all for making SA what it is today, without all of you members we'd be nothing!

The 76ers have moved up their scheduled workout with Temple guard Khalif Wyatt. The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder will partake in pre-draft drills at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine on Saturday. The Sixers were originally scheduled to work out the Norristown native on June 20.
The franchise has a first-round pick (11th overall) and two second-round selections (35th and 42d) in the June 27 draft. Wyatt is projected to go undrafted, but could end up a second-round pick.
He is both the Big Five and Atlantic Ten Conference player of the year. Wyatt was also named honorable-mention all-American and was an all-district selection by both the USBWA and NABC.
The 22-year-old averaged a Big Five leading 20.5 points and scored 30 or more points on seven occasions this season. He concluded his Temple career with back-to-back 31-point performances in the second and third round of the NCAA tournament.
Wyatt has already worked out for the Detroit, Houston, Washington, Portland, and Phoenix. He is scheduled to work out with Dallas (on Tuesday) and the Los Angeles Lakers (June 24).
