We're dying to see Martin Scorsese's first kid-friendly movie, The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Not just because it's a loose retelling of the life of science fiction movie pioneer Georges Méliès, but also for its clockwork wind-up man.
Now here's your first look at the wind-up man, via a French website. There's also a new set photo, indicating that Johnny Depp will have a brief cameo as the painter M. Rouleau.
Here's how the mechanical man is described in the original "novel in words and pictures" by Brian Selznick:
The man was built entirely out of clockworks and fine machinery... A cascade of perfect movements, with hundreds of brilliantly calibrated actions, coursed through the mechanical man. The key tightened a spring connected to a series of gears that extended down into the base of the figure. There, the last gear turned a series of brass disks with precisely cut edges. Two little hammerlike contraptions came down and trailed along the edges of the notched disks, rising and falling as the disks steadily turned. The actions set in motion by the little hammers were then translated back up through a series of rods that led into the man's torso. There, the moving rods slowly turned other mechanisms in the shoulder and neck. The shoulder affected the elbow, and as the elbow engaged, it sent other movements in a chain reaction down into the wrist, and finally, the hand.
Seeing Scorsese translate this onto the screen should be a source of wonderment. Can't wait! [The Playlist via Slashfilm]

Promoting Rule Compliance and Good Governance PracticeGregoric, Aleksandra; Zajc, Katarina; Simoneti, Marko (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper re-examines the concerns on the rule-based governance in poor institutional environment. By relying on the theories and research vehicles of social psychology, we show that under certain conditions, the 'law on books' may still play role in governing market transactions, even though no formal enforcement applies. We furthermore expose the potential of the Corporate Governance Code as the 'signaling device' and provide arguments as to why this potential may be even stronger in an environment with relatively weak institutions in comparison to the developed market economies.

What most people would not tell you about Wireless Myths & Facts
We're dwelling in a wonderful time, a time where almost every device is really capable of connecting to each other wirelessly. 'The Internet of Things', that's how many folks refer to the brand new era we're living in, and it really is amazing to see technology already advance this far, even though we are still at its daybreak. The wirelessly linked devices are a boon to our own lives and they make controlling various every day tools an easy job. Though none of us can even imagine escaping from the reality of living in this wireless world, I set out to find some common nevertheless fascinating myths and premises related to it, and let us continue to find out whether these are entirely baseless or they actually hold some truth about them.
You'll find WiFi links in most houses, if you go to any developed or developing country in the planet. Many people believe that the wireless transmission used for Wi-Fi is exclusive and its own performance can just be interfered by other Wi-Fi systems. But the reality is your signal can be interfered with by appliances like a microwave, DECT telephone, etc. If you seem to be having trouble with your WiFi signal, make sure that it is set up for a more reliable connection away from these home appliances.
Many people believe that higher speed consistently equal better performance, especially now that there are new WiFi routers. Most people fail to understand that the real performance depends on their cellular devices connected through the routers. The latest Wi Fi routers support the latest standards for carrying the data, which require the use of multiple antennas, and this is the reason why these latest WiFi routers deliver such high rates. For your mobile to be capable of exploiting the speed delivered, it must also support the latest standards. So the next time when you find a router, the first thing you have to check is the restriction posed by your devices, instead of just choosing a router that is fastest of all only to wind up in sheer disappointment.
The 5. 8GHz was added recently and more and more amount of latest Wi-Fi capable devices are supporting it. A lot of people wrongly think that 5. 8Ghz is better than 2. 4Ghz, it is not mechanically better like how moving away from the 900MHz formerly used by cellphones led to better speed. This turns out to be wrong as the it depends on what one defines as better. The important reason behind summation of the 5. 8GHz spectrum is the over crowdedness of 2. 4GHz, not that it is better. It is normal to hear people saying that they find their WiFi performance to be better when they changed to 5. 8GHz. The only reason that's accurate is since there are gadgets and less people using that spectrum.
According to some individuals, the era of cables is ending. This thought does make sense when you find virtually every device being wirelessly competent. But after thinking about it intensely, I consider that such a doomsday prediction can't be practically possible. For an illustration, consider the way the usage of Bluetooth technology has really made the wireless audio streaming potential. They still must be recharged frequently which in the end still takes a cable, while most of these apparatus are likely to come with rechargeable battery. There are a lot of hurdles that still needs to be overcome for a complete removal of wires in our own lives to become feasible. Personally, I actually don't find this occurring in any foreseeable future.
The wireless technology is having a great impact on the way individuals interact and carry their day-to-day chores. It's intriguing to find how some people have wireless technology that is entirely misunderstood. I'm no expert in this technology and the things I have discussed here are not anything more than my individual view on an issue I believe is quite fascinating to say the least. I simply needed to hopefully separate the facts from fictions with this simple post. I may be wrong about particular things and do feel free to drop your opinion below since my wireless expertise is rather limited.read more
Astounding facts about Apple
Steve Jobs, a standout amongst the most enigmatic leaders and innovator of our era, expired in the year 2011. Nevertheless his legacy still lives with Apple becoming the world's most high priced business in the year 2014, on many years later. Apple has nevertheless remained the same firm that was secret that it consistently has been, even several years following the passing of Jobs. There are several interesting facts that not many folks know about this highly reputed company. Let's analyze some of the most fascinating facts about Apple Inc. I am certain you will be surprised and they may present you a glance of the top secret formulas that bring in such revolutionary products like the iPhone and also the iPhone.
Following their revolutionizing success in the music industry, Apple made another astounding one in the mobile phone industry. And their cash pile are raising at a really fascinating speed. In cash, they held up to $160 billion by 2014. To just conceptualize this, Microsoft had while the US Treasury had only $49 billion in the first quarter of 2014. It is enough to buy an iPod to every individual in the US and there is still going to be money left to further exemplify the scale of this cash stack. This cash reserve would get Apple Inc among the 50 biggest markets if it were a nation.
In 2013, a research study revealed the sales per employee at Apple is off the charts. Each Apple employee brings in for the firm a whopping annual revenue of $2. 13 million. Compare this to what each IBM employee brings in (below $250,000) and you'll understand how this is an insane amount. Trailing behind in the second position is the $500,000 and also Cisco earnings each employee brings in is still far fetched from what the amount each Apple worker brings in. It's interesting to see if it's even possible to allow them to shatter such trend's own record and how far it could continue.
The amount of iPhone sold every day is really beyond belief. Apple sells close to 40 million iPhones every quarter. This would mean that close to 400,000 iPhones are being sold every day, by performing some easy maths. To place this amount in perspective, it's more compared to the total variety of infants being born daily. The worldwide birth rate stands around 300,000 per day. As a matter of fact, their 2014 report signaled the amount of new iPhones being created per day to be over 500,000 which in terms of statistics alone, no other manufacturer comes close to what they've accomplished.
It's a huge occasion that the whole world takes note of when Apple is launching a new product. The amount of media attention and attendees for their launch day outdoes any business by hundreds of miles. Every year thousands of Apple fans in the launching of Apple's new iPhone, would assemble outside the stores all for the benefit of being the first to get their own hands on the iPhone. Buffs will willingly queue for hundreds of hours even if this means of having to braze extreme cold. A Japanese man made a brand new record in2014 when the Japanese man decided to wait in front of the store even before their product had been formally announced by Apple.
Apple continues to amaze all of us at how well they've done now that we are at the dawn of the new millenium. As a company and as a brand, they keep on shattering of what's possible, convictions. They keep on flying higher to areas where no person thought it's ever feasible. Steve Jobs' successor, Tim Cook certainly has a giant job ahead of him, filling such enormous boots. Despite all of the disbelief, we've now seen that Tim Cook and his team are capable of keeping performance and the company's growth. Still, we all understand that nothing stays at the top and others need to succeed top area after a while. That makes it far more interesting to observe whether they're going to relent and how Apple will keep their high performance and this is as market analysts and fans will continue to look out for innovations that are new to see whether the next release is another hit.read more

Selecting unique brooches
Nearly every consumer product has a restricted lifespan except for jewelry which just find its value increasing over time. In today's world, jewelry is such a commonly used term and I personally feel it is a term that's frequently misused. According to my definition, just the ones that are made of high quality stuff like silver, diamond and gold can be categorized as jewelry. But in today's world where low-priced products are flooding the marketplace, bulk of the jewelries discovered are imitation and one good example is the absolute number of fake diamond elephant necklaces. I'd not consider cheap replica to be real jewelry although I'm not a professional jeweler. The value of these replicas are not really so expensive that they are not even worth keeping in the best jewelry armoire. There are indeed so many things about jewelry that can be fascinating and here are only some of them.
A number of people pick their jewelries based on nothing but their visual attractiveness. Unaware that particular form of jewelry has been utilized as protective amulet and an elephant pendant necklace is one good example. Nonetheless, as time passes by, many of such popular symbols have evolved and adopted by mainstream consumers. Most of these consumers are ignorant concerning the meaning as attractiveness and style are the sole things on their heads when they make their jewelry choice. Therefore, if an infinity necklace pendant had been purchased by someone and you also ask them about the meaning it signifies, more likely than not, they'll not have the capacity to supply you with the right explanation. Jewelry manufacturers are intelligent enough to identify such consumers and this is the reason there are so many stunning and unique layouts to what is allegedly a symbolic or religious jewelry piece.
Jewelry has ever been one of the largest section of the retail industry. Internet shopping is increasingly popular particularly among the millenial generation who does a large amount of their jewelry shopping online. Savvy online shoppers are taking advantages of reduced prices and the convenience that are usually offered by online jewelry retailers while some people remain sceptical about buying jewelry online. There are many examples where I discovered the cost for exactly the same item to be lower on-line and one good example is the elephant necklace that I recently bought. Even for such bulky items asJewelry Armoire, you can sometimes have 50% savings compared to the price when you purchase them in the shop, you would need to pay.
You can probably see my fixation about jewelry and there is so much things we can discuss around. Nothing can prevent me from going on and on but I Will stop here for now. I need you to keep in mind that the next time you're taking a look at a beautiful piece of jewelry like an horseshoe pendant, do not merely be mesmerized by it but try and ask if there is any significance connected with that. Remember that jewelry is a woman's best friend which suggests that it's important that you do everything to protect your investment. Go through all the jewelry storage ideas prior to making your choice. Someone may be telling you that you ought to get the best jewelry armoire but remember that what works best for her mightn't be the best for you. As a last piece of guidance, I'd advise that you do not skimp as it pertains to jewelry storage because jewelry armoire might not be cheap but it's something which will show its worth through time.read more
5 Best Hollywood of 2013
In the matter of days, we will be ushering in the brand new year. I really believe the majority of us could be scaling back from our busy life and try to look back things that have and have not been done in 2013. One question that I always ask myself is what're the things that left the deepest impact in my memory. In my opinion the majority of us wouldn't only be looking right back but also looking forward to what the new year would bring.
Being a movie nut, a very natural question that came to my mind is what would be the biggest blockbuster movie of 2013 that I would remember for times ahead? I'm not the harshest movie experts but I'd still say several of the movies that have been coming out have not been quite good lately. There are some movies that are produced based on badly written texts and it's very common for blockbuster movies to be used simply as a display of the state-of-the-art visual effects capability.
So, what are my candidates for the most memorable movies in 2013? Here's my list.
- Gravity
- American Hustle
- Her
- 12 Years A Slave
- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
- The Butler
Bread Maker will stay with you for several years! Do Not skimp on it!
I am able to bet that anybody who have watched the picture-perfect bakery impersonated in meryl Streep's Bakehouse in her film "It's Complex" would have their baking passion ignited. Among all the different culinary art subjects, one that consistently attracts great amount of curiosity however high drop-out rate is bread making. This only goes to show the degree of difficulty involved with mastering a piece of artwork and this one isn't any exception. Fire may function as the first thing desired but for anybody to excel in this art-form, it requires considerably over that and the amount of devotion and determination can be intimidating for most individuals. The practise of bread making has existed for a long time but in yesteryear, perhaps not everyone can start baking their own bread at home as the investment expense would be prohibitive. All seems set to change with the introduction of bread maker. Go through any bread maker evaluations and you will learn that while the top-rated bread machine enables you to bake breads that are edible, it generally takes considerably more to fit the pro. What exactly are the things you have to consider when looking for the finest breadmaker? Let us see.
Depending on the different bread maker assessments, one characteristic that many bread maker proprietors often rave about is the timer functionality. The notion behind the timer function is the one and only to allow you to tell the machine when it should start the baking procedure. It's simple to visualize when you'll find such attribute useful. Some people loves to get up in the morning to the aroma of freshly baked loaf of bread and this is the crucial characteristic that enables you to do exactly that. The other is where you love having the freshest bread for lunch after a long hours of work. Prior to setting the timer, it is possible to simply drop all the fixings in and let the baking procedure starts as programmed. It is strongly recommended that you just go through the important bread maker reviews rather than to jump the guide. Though they may be simple, it'd typically demand few experiment for you becoming a master of your machine.
In order for a kitchen gadget to promote well, look plays a very important function. Do you think you'd want to buy an appliance that's awful-looking but high-performance? I doubt so. Instead of the plastic alternative, you might want to contemplate the stainless steel physique if design and aesthetic is really a major worry to you personally. But keep in mind that the ultimate breadmakers which are made from plastic will typically cost less than the best makers which can be manufactured from stainless steel. Going for well-recognized bread maker brands for example Cuisinart is typically a safe bet as these brands are generally valued for his or her modern designs.
The introduction of automated bread maker provides new hope for the typical family who prefers to have the option of baking their own preservative-free loaves of bread. Families who desire to embark on fitter lifestyle are increasingly considering adopting bread maker and the best-rated bread makers often prove to be worthy investment. I always remind myself that the man I am is quite definitely determined by what I eat. What is significant in selecting the best breadmaker is to realize your demand and preference and do not blindly go for the most high-priced models. No one will be able to master their baking skill overnight. These machines may have already been designed to eliminate most of the guessworks but it doesn't imply you can be a master baker immediately.read more
A brief self-introduction
It is a continuous personal fight that always goes on in my own head that if you do not have something for which you are totally obsessed with then you're missing out on things which are intensely ardent and wild in your life. But I need to declare that there are many who lead nothing but mediocre life and they just let their head rules over the heart to be capable to be obsessed with anything.
Let Us give this straightforward question a careful idea. If day in day out you're living exactly the same boring rhythm where there is nothing that excites you every morning and nothing to keep you wake up at night, I wager no one would consider such life as meaningful.
Perhaps I am at another extreme where I frequently uncover myself obsessed around may things. I am not positive about everyone else but I do not like to hide my love for something. I consider everyone of us is born with some sort of fires but it's completely up to us to chance upon it.
Honing my culinary abilities is what I've been doing ever since I found my love for cooking. I realize that the various cooking shows shown on TV are fantastic to start with but it takes actual exercises to actually understand what your location is and start enhancing.
Don't expect a smooth sailing journey though as I had encountered few horrifying encounters at the beginning such as burnt steak and even got my fingers cut while I was practicing to slice meat and vegetables. The journey is obviously not a bed of roses but it's one which you enjoy most when you have the fire for it.
It was the cooking shows that first inspired me but I discovered attending cooking classes to be more gratifying. I undoubtedly see my ability improving but it's the interaction with people of similar interest if you ask me that I locate most carry through and enjoyable.
Computer programming is one passion that I discovered not too long ago. At times, I mull over it and only if I'd unearthed this passion before in life, maybe I would have already been capable to do so substantially more.
Coming from a family of bankers, I have been exposed to the world of bankings and finances all throughout my life. I am not certain whether it is because I am a contrarian thinker or it is really the instance that I loathe banking. Instead, talking about programming brings in so much delight than talking about economics. I am not a programming pro (as yet) but I am sure that when driven by passion, I'd get there and it's only a matter of time.
Each one of us is unique but I totally consider that passion is something that we all have. Obsession is the term used by some people and gift is the term used by others. Whatever you may call it, they've been hidden within us and it is up to us to unravel them.
It's only when you have reached your deepest passion which you will be capable to look at yourself from fresh outlook and just then, life will be filled with this much energy and exhilaration. You'll be competent to live your life to the fullest, by being yourself merely by rediscovering your fires, which may bring in a lot of positivity in your lives.read more
Some Smoothie Blender cost considerably more than the rest. How worthy are they of your investment?
There's no place better than home. That's why most of us are no stranger to the phrase 'home sweet home'. Aside from sitting on my desk, I spend big mass of my time at home, in the kitchen and that is why kitchen is to me, my most important section of your house. But it still depends on your lifestyle and enthusiasm in life and I'm sure some of you'd have another thought than mine. I would not be surprised even if you inform me that kitchen is the last-place in the home that you would want to spend time at but I suppose that you do not belong to that team of people. Should you spend tons of your time in the kitchen, I'm sure you'll agree it is very important to consistently get only the best home appliances. In this article, Iwill share a couple of items that I love most in the kitchen and the process believed that continued my mind before creating my buys.
Thanks to all the junk-food chains sprouting up around the country, the amount of obese Americans is higher than in another part of the globe. I am happy that it's not all bad news and there has lately been campaigns that fight the unhealthy foods insurgence and attempt to promote healthier diets. If you speak to most health pros and even your family physicians, I believe one of their recommendations would be to consume a glass of fruit or green smoothies possibly early each day. The easiest choice is definitely to head to the supermarket shelves and grab those easily made yoghurts or shakes, but making your own smoothies is always the wiser option. If as advocated by the experts, you consume a glass of juice every day, getting the best citrus juicer is some thing that you need to seriously contemplate. As a fundamental, it is better to understand the difference between masticating compared to the regular juicer. The best masticating juicer will not come cheap but if you go through all the juicer reviews, you'll realize why this is so. If you have used a masticating juicer yourself, you will realize that it is going to not only create a fitter juice but also a much better tasting one.
If there's one apparently simple kitchen equipment innovation that means the planet to kitchen owners, it would be immersion blender. There are some who would argue that this is not the best blender sort to possess chiefly because its suitability to make great smoothies is rather small. The argument isn't absolutely invalid but anybody who has ever used the best-rated hand blender before will tell you how this apparently simple innovation has altered their kitchen and meal preparation experiences. Unique dishes that will be easier to prepare when working with the top-rated hand blenders contain soup and purees. As smoothies devices are typically designed with opening on top, even the finest smoothie makers won't manage to offer what immersion blenders can. This will involve the pouring in and from your soup or puree content which might frequently result in mess on the kitchen best.
You'd likely have the ability to feel my delight after I get to discuss the stuffs that go in to my kitchen. Simply the best kitchen appliances will make the cut for you if you're like me, constantly excited to talk about our kitchen. If you're intent on changing your diet for healthier living, getting the ultimate smoothie blenders for smoothies is essential as smooth and good tasting smoothie holds the key to your diet success. Some of the healhiest sort of dishes are soup and puree but if you need to make your life simpler, you will undoubtedly need to consider obtaining the finest immersion blender. It's typically recommended that you simply try to find some of the Best Blender reviews instead of randomly picking one that you see on the shelves as how many options can easily lead one to confusion.

Swift hint: The best way to pick a good vacuum cleaner
It is an indisputable fact that vacuums and parents are inseparable, the same as diamonds is always to beauty. Many of us must deal with household cleaning sooner or later in our life. Family rules influence the cleaning; which may be askew towards some individuals who are relieved from the job and perhaps not others. Either way, in the span of time as you move into your own property you will still need to handle cleaning tasks. You'll need a trusted vacuum cleaner to help you from this particular task, and for this reason, the best vacuum cleaner reviews really are a must-read.
As with the variety of tools that are being released, you'll also find several types of vacuum cleaner in the market, though the latter is developing way slower compared to the former. Something that makes us unique as human is that we are constantly growing and change is constant within our life. No matter how properly designed a vacuum is, it may be good today but may be irrelevant tomorrow. You may have read via a large amount of vacuum cleaner reviews but you also have to think about that some Dyson vacuum reviews published many years back are not anymore at par with the newest models. Thus, seeking good vacuum cleaners can not be categorized as an easy process.
Ask everybody about their regular home cleaning experience, and they'd all mention the floor cleaners and how outstanding the appliance is; moreover, no effective cleaning could occur without the appliance. If you're an advent in the area of cleansing, then you may succeed in getting the households absolutely cleaned manually; But you may maybe not be restored from creating some back problems that result from the normal folding during the manual sweeping and scrubbing of the floor. In most vacuum reviews, this is one of the most common reasons that triggers the switch to vacuums. A selected number of the vacuum cleaners are expensive; But with a suitable research, then the best vacuum cleaners could be the cheapest.
When it comes to vacuum shopping, there are numerous ways to cut costs. If you choose the brick-and-motor retail stores like Cotsco for the applying shopping; then, you may have to consider going during your mail for their trade discounts, from the occasional e-mails they send. But when you shop online frequently, ensure you browse the rates offered at these several places: Amazon, Best Buy and Sears. The best vacuums in 2014 are readily available in Amazon at irresistible rates. Some on-line suppliers offer discount vouchers, especially all through the Black Friday. Needless to say, the issue to many non-savvy online shoppers is finding these deals.
The amount of maintenance required is one important factor that you need to consider when investing in a vacuum cleaner. An excellent vacuum cleaner is of course one that needs as little care as possible. However seriously speaking, such thinking might not be reasonable after all. A vacuum cleaner is made of many complex components assembled to work together and hence it's nearly impossible to come up with a design that is effective but requires no maintenance. I'm not saying it is impossible as I've no way of predicting the future but at least that is true given the present state-of-the-art technology. Striving towards finding one that necessitates less but definitely not the least level of maintenance will be a more sensible expectation.
While you can see, there are various techniques one can look for a hoover. The issue is perhaps not concerning the lack of choices but the overwhelming choices, which will be quite interesting. The main element is even though you think you are buying from the big boys including including Bissell, it's advisable to do your research and finding bissell vacuum reviews shouldn't be too hard. You have to recognize that the best-selling vacuum cleaners list changes each year. Make sure that you are referring to the newest 2014 vacuum reviews when you are doing your research.read more

Oneida City Schools may need to raise taxes, reduce spending for 2013-14 budget
ONEIDA >> If the state budget submitted by Gov. Andrew Cuomo were to pass in its current form, the Oneida City School District would face the task of combining tax increases and spending reductions to offset a potential deficit of $1.1 million for the 2013-14 school budget.
The Board of Education also heard Tuesday night from some parents who want to end the OHS tradition of holding graduation exercises on the lawn.
Superintendent Ron Spadafora told the board that some schools face a "Gap Elimination Adjustment" deduction in state aid. In addition, he noted , districts throughout the state will be required to contribute more to the teacher retirement system this year, between 15.5 and 16.5 percent of the total teacher payroll.
"We will continue to look at our reserves, but we are to the point where we have to say, 'what more can we do?' " Spadafora said.
District officials have already urged state legislators for more funds for education and, according to Spadafora, the lawmakers agree that more funding is needed than the governor is proposing.
Spadafora indicated that the district's preliminary budget would be presented to the board at the March 11 meeting. The board will be asked to vote on it in April. Following a series of public informational meetings, district residents will vote on the final budget in May.
Students from the Willard Prior Elementary School showed a PowerPoint presentation that they developed themselves about the new student council and the anti-bullying campaign. Briauna Connell, a 5th-grade and president of the student council spoke about the work the council is doing within the school and the community. "The student council gives students a voice into what is happening in our school," Connell said. The student council has raised funds for the Salvation Army and the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.
Willard Prior students Justin Marji and Parker Mitchell gave a presentation on the council's anti-bullying campaign which covered physical bullying, teasing, cyber bullying and emotional bullying. Marji indicated that the way to stop it is to befriend the person being bullied.
The board also received a petition from Oneida resident Heidi LaSalle signed by over 90 individuals, urging the board to consider moving the annual commencement exercises from the front lawn to the stadium. "This is an important day for our students and they deserve to have a better venue to hold these exercises,: LaSalle said.
Board President John Elberson said the board wants to provide the best possible day for the graduating seniors and their families and would consider all the options.
"I have already spoken with parents, students, faculty and administration about this and we will be making a decision in the spring as to whether the current venue will change," Spadafora said. He indicated that he's talked to officials other districts that use their stadiums for commencement.


text: The facility has been targeted by multiple protests in the past months, with signs and chants admonishing residents with phrases like "get a job" and "shame on you," and referring to them as "bums" and "vagrants." "I've been here four months and keep getting denied for housing, telling me I'm not eligible," said Pan Am Hotel resident Amy Rojas. "I fell into this situation because I lost my job. They're not helping homeless people, we need permanent housing so we can look for and get a job. Here they keep pulling you back." Immigrant organizations from the Asian and South Asian communities joined the rally to stress unity and underscore that the real problem is the lack of housing affordable for working-class New Yorkers. "We do not condone the rhetoric shaming homeless individuals and families," said Cathy Dang, executive director of CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities. "CAAAV believes that everyone has a right to housing and that we are all fighting together for that common goal." New York City spent $1 billion on the shelter system in Fiscal Year 2013, but homeless advocates argue people don't benefit from being warehoused in facilities like the Pan Am Hotel. Shelter residents have little control over their lives, and families are transferred with little notice and against their will, uprooting and destabilizing families. "As I'm out here in Elmhurst, I see how these families are struggling at a broken down shelter system," said PTH member Andres Perez. "DHS is still not acknowledging the serious effect this has on children and families. Homeless people need housing, not shelters."

Massage therapy for back pain
By Barbara Floria, Pure Matters
In fact, it's estimated that eight out of 10 people will experience back pain and that it is one of the most common medical problems. When traditional medicine doesn't relieve the pain, many people turn to alternative treatments such as massage therapy.
"Massage can be very beneficial for back pain," says Kathleen Clayton, a licensed massage therapist and spokesperson for the American Massage Therapy Association. The treatment is tailored specifically to each individual's needs, and the therapist is responsible for determining the appropriate touch-level and technique to use.
Proven results
Massage is a proven and cost-effective treatment for persistent back pain, according to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The study was compiled from recent reviews of controlled trials evaluating acupuncture, massage therapy, and spinal adjustments in relieving back pain. The researchers concluded that massage therapy was the most effective treatment method when compared with the other two. This opinion was based on the positive results experienced by patients with persistent back pain at the end of a 10-week treatment period and one year after treatment. The costs associated with massage therapy was considered justified by the substantial improvement in function and the reduced number of health care services during the year.
Understanding massage
The therapist uses his or her hands to perform various movements on the skin to massage muscles and ligaments. This promotes relaxation and a sense of well-being. The main techniques of massage involve stroking, kneading, or pressing on the body.
These techniques can relieve muscle tension, spasms, aches, stiffness, and pain. Other benefits include improved circulation, flexibility, and range of motion.
As the therapist uses his or her hands or specialized tools to massage muscles, circulation is increased. Blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients, and helps muscles eliminate waste products, such as the lactic acid that may collect in muscles from spasms, causing pain.
Therapist questions
Before getting a massage for back pain, ask about the therapist's credentials, training, and experience in treating back problems.

Cleaning Away the Illness
The Torah scholars in the Kollel in the Israeli town of Hod Hasharon were interrupted in their studies late one day some years ago by the loud sobbing of a woman who had entered their Beit Medrish with her daughter. The doctors, she told them, had diagnosed her daughter as suffering from an incurable illness and she was searching for some special merit to gain Heavenly mercy.
"Please allow my daughter and myself to clean your Beit Medrish," she begged. "I remember from my childhood in Morocco that this is considered a very big mitzvah. Perhaps if I clean G-ds house He will clean away my daughters condition."
The scholars were glad to accommodate her. They told her that they were leaving in another half hour and that she was welcome to do the cleaning she desired. When they returned the next day they were amazed to see how thorough a job she and her daughter had done in beautifying this sacred area.
A couple of days later mother and daughter returned to the Kollel, this time with broad smiles in place of tears. Another examination had determined that the illness had mysteriously vanished and the doctors were curious as to what miracle treatment the girl had undergone. For the mother, however, there was no mystery.

The last Maya
Every once in a while you stumble into a place blessed by nature. We found such a place in the tiny coastal town of Tulum: a small restaurant at the end of a beach path, a few kilometers further out than most visitors to Tulum usually go. It's called Ultimo Maya, the last Maya. Going those extra kilometers made all the difference. You sit at one of three small weathered tables beneath the palm trees, massaging a heavenly ceviche de pescado y camaron against the roof of your mouth and slurping fresh, ice-cold coconut juice.
In the background, the turquoise waves break endlessly onto the white sand. There's no-one in sight, except perhaps for the odd dog wandering aimlessly along the beach. After staying long enough to give this panorama its due, we decide to take a peek into the kitchen. The chef flashes us a friendly smile and invites us to look around his humble domain. Using the simplest methods, he creates delicious Mexican specialties from the freshest fish in a simple bamboo hut.
If you'd like to stay longer then just a few short hours but don't want to pay for expensive beachfront accommodation, you can pitch a tent between the palms for just a couple of pesos. It's a good idea to bring along a hammock, too, because there's no better place to slurp coconut juice, and that's a fact – we've tested it. But a plate of fresh Mexican beach ceviche will help you recreate a beach atmosphere no matter where you are.
… and here's the recipe:
Ceviche del Ultimo Maya (serves two)
For the ceviche:
300 g super-fresh white fish filet (e.g. sea bass, seabream, sole), 2 handfuls of raw prawns, a couple of ice cubes
Juice from 3 to 4 limes, salt & black pepper, 1 cucumber, 3 tomatoes, 1 large onion, 1 avocado, 1 bunch fresh coriander (cilantro), 1 green chili pepper, tostadas or tortilla chips
For the garlic salsa:
3 Tbsp mayonnaise,1 Tbsp freshly pressed lime juice, 1 garlic clove, pinch of cayenne pepper, pinch of salt
1. To make the salsa, crush the garlic into a small bowl with a garlic press. Add all the other ingredients and mix.
2. Shell the prawns and blanch them in boiling, salted water for 5 minutes until they turn pink. Drain and set aside to cool.
3. Chop the fish filet into small pieces (about 1 cm) and put into a bowl with the ice cubes. Set aside.
4. Peel the cucumber, slice in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds, which you discard. Cut the cucumber into strips and chop finely.
5. Finely chop the tomatoes into approx. 1 cm cubes.
6. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and use a spoon to carefully extract the flesh. Cut into strips and dice.
7. Roughly chop the cilantro (including the stems).
8. Finely chop the onions.
9. Chop the chili pepper into very thin rings.
10. Squeeze the lime.
11. All that's left now is to put the ingredients into the bowl in the right order. Important: Put the fish and the prawns in first and sprinkle with plenty of salt and pepper. Mix briefly with your hands, then add the lime juice, saving a little bit for later. Throw in the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Add the remaining lime juice and if necessary, a little more salt to taste. Serve on a large plate with a few tostadas or tortilla chips stuck here and there and drizzled with salsa. That's it! Provecho! Welcome to the beach!

By means of the limit and jump relations of classical potential theory the framework of a wavelet approach on a regular surface is established. The properties of a multiresolution analysis are verified, and a tree algorithm for fast computation is developed based on numerical integration. As applications of the wavelet approach some numerical examples are presented, including the zoom-in property as well as the detection of high frequency perturbations. At the end we discuss a fast multiscale representation of the solution of (exterior) Dirichlet's or Neumann's boundary-value problem corresponding to regular surfaces.

Roughly 13 percent of University of Colorado students are involved with Greek life.
Thinking Greek? We broke down the different types of sororities and fraternities you can join, what it will cost you and what to expect during recruitment and beyond.
Sororities and fraternities
There are two types of councils in the University of Colorado Greek system, the Panhellenic Executive Council and the Multicultural Greek Council.
The Panhellenic Executive Council consists of nine national chapters and two associate members that are religiously based, according to Greek life and leadership program coordinator Stephanie Baldwin.
Recruitment for Panhellenic sororities runs Sept. 6-10.
The Multicultural Greek Council encompasses eight sororities and fraternities that tend to focus on social justice, diversity and culture, Baldwin said. Go to colorado.edu/greeks/index.html for more info.
Since 2005, fraternities have not been connected to the university officially. The Interfraternity Council acts as a private community organization, but still recruits and caters to male students at CU. There are currently 15 fraternities in Boulder.
Fraternities cut ties with CU in 2005 after the university asked the groups to sign an agreement that would have delayed recruitment until the spring and forced each chapter to have a live-in supervisor.
Recruitment for fraternities begins Aug. 31 and runs through Sept. 14. Learn more at http://coloradoifc.org/.
Some sororities and fraternities have houses for members to live in. There are unofficial, off-campus houses and there are official chapter houses, which are privately owned and maintained by a local or national alumnae house corporation.
Some chapters require members to live in these houses, and some do not, but Greek life officials say living in Greek life housing is comparable to other housing options.
It can cost around $1,300 the first year after you join a chapter, which includes some one-time expenses. After that, it's slightly less expensive each year, depending on which chapter you join and whether or not you live in a Greek house. Ask about cost during recruitment.
What to expect
Greek life for you probably isn't going to resemble the life of Elle Woods in "Legally Blonde." You can expect social events, philanthropies and volunteer events, friends and even studying (GASP).
Recruitment varies between the three types of Greek organizations. Panhellenic recruitment is extremely formal and structured (to prevent any funny business). You can expect five days of constant talking with active members (women who are already initiated into the sororities), skits, plenty of snacks and maybe even a little bit of heartbreak. The process doesn't guarantee that everyone will end up in a sorority, or end up in the sorority of their choice.
Recruitment for Multicultural Greek Council chapters is more informal, Baldwin says, starting with an interest meeting.
Fraternity recruitment is a mix of formal and informal. Interested men can visit different chapters informally during a two-week recruitment period, but must register.
One popular Greek event is Dance Marathon, an all-day event hosted each year by the Panhellenic Executive Council. In years past, this event has raised more than $40,000 for specific charities and organizations.
If you're looking for some leadership roles to put on that resume, Greek life can help you out. There are numerous leadership positions within each chapter and within CU Greek life as a whole.

Roll Over Films presents a natural, sensual collection of college girls exploring their newfound desires for anal sex in Buttfucked College Cuties.
Two hot, dark-haired teen girls get so into making out and kissing each other's erect nipples and bald pussies that we're several minutes into the scene before the camera pulls back and shows that there's a guy in the room watching them, his cock in his hand. The girls bring him into their fun, enjoying the way his cock feels in their mouths, twats, and their assholes, but the entire time you can tell that they're even more into each other.
A beautiful girl with long, straight brown hair leads her boyfriend into a bedroom. As they kiss, they start to strip. Still in her black lace bra and panties, she grinds her ass all over his lap, getting him even more worked up. He unfastens her bra and kisses her back as she pulls the bra off, showing her perky tits and hard nipples. When she climbs on top of his hard cock, he starts by sliding into her wet pussy but soon he's filling up her even tighter little butthole!
After a silent seduction full of meaningful gazes and slow hands, a young brunette feels the thrill of her boyfriend rubbing her clit through the fabric of her lacy black bodysuit. He unfastens it and pulls it up under her arms, baring her perfect boobs so he can kiss and grope them. She's excited and totally ready to get fucked, but first he wets her pussy with his tongue. After he has her nice and ready, he fucks her pussy in spoons position. When they're ready for anal, she mounts him in reverse cowgirl, legs spread wide so he can drive in deeply. She even sucks his dick fresh from her ass when they change positions.
All seven scenes, just like the three described above, are totally naturalistic, without music covering up the sounds of pleasure, without excessive edits interfering with the flow of bodies in motion. There are many luscious close-ups of the guys licking the girls' most sensitive parts and the girls swirling their tongues around their guys' throbbing cocks. Even though it's hardcore porn, it has all the beauty, glamour, and romance of a more softcore type of erotica. This will be ideal for couples who want to explore anal sex in their porn viewing together, or for those who want their dirty movies to be as pretty as they are explicit.
Buttfucked College Cuties is streaming exclusively on AEBN.

Prince Fielder was placed on the disabled list Friday, days before he is scheduled to have season-ending neck surgery.
The move by the Texas Rangers came a day after the team said Fielder would have cervical fusion surgery Tuesday for the herniated disk in his neck. General manager Jon Daniels said he expected a second opinion to confirm the initial recommendation for the operation.
It is the first time the durable first baseman has been on the DL in his career. Before a nerve root block injection to treat his neck last Saturday, Fielder's 547 consecutive games played was the longest active streak in the majors.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Fielder, who turned 30 earlier this month, missed only one game the previous five seasons and hadn't missed a game since Sept. 14, 2010.
Infielder Donnie Murphy was recalled from an injury rehab assignment and activated for the game against the Tigers.
Murphy was placed on the disabled list May 8 with a neck strain. He was hurt when he tripped at first base trying to beat out a ground ball the previous day against Colorado. He played six games on an injury rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock, and Friday was the date he was eligible to return to the roster.
The Rangers have a majors-high 13 players on the disabled list. They have had 17 DL placements this season, also the most in the majors.
Fielder hit .247 with three home runs and 16 RBIs in 42 games in his first season with the Rangers. The only time he has played fewer games was 39 as a rookie in 2005 with Milwaukee.

Great value. nicely built, and not as small as many cobs. I have two!
Bought this 3 months ago and it is still going strong. I smoke a pipe a day on average.
A great starter pipe, Excellent bowl size and smokes at a great rate. Overall a very durable and well constructed pipe for a great price
Love it, great pipe well worth the money and my favorite pipe now.
I do love this pipe. I use it far more often than my more expensive pipes. I just like the way it smokes.
Classic corn cob pipe. The reason these have stood the test of time is cause you can't go wrong. Perfect.
Very nice pipe for the price. One of the nicest corn cobs I have ever smoked from.
My favorite pipe! I love my MM Legend pipe. I purchased the straight one first, and liked it so much that I went back and ordered the bent version as well (in addition to the other MM styles, I'll be reviewing each of those, too). I have a number of pipes in my collection including a couple briar pipes, and a few block Meerschaum pipes. Something about the corn cob just suits me right!
Overall good pipe. I currently use it as my tobacco sampler pipe. It is very basic and holds up very well. I would definitely suggest this pipe to everyone. I currently have the Legend and Pony Express. One thing I like about the Missouri Meerschaum is that the pipes came out bigger than what I had expected.
I love this pipe, I think it looks really cool. I use it to smoke the end of my cigars when they get to hot to handle so that there is absolutely no waste. I even save the clippings from a new stogie and smoke them. It is the perfect pipe to do this.
First step into Pipe smoking and I must say that I am truly injoying it so far. The pipe made it to Europe with no damage and is beautiful to look at. I am not going to lie I had to watch a couple of videos on how to properly pack, light and maintain my pipe but luckly CI had that covered on youtube. After the first couple of smokes and the corn smell died down this pipe seemed to really open up for me. My only complant was that the bowl seemed to get extremely hot while I was smoking. Another quick trip to youtube and I found out that Corn Cob pipes tend to be on the hot side and after learning where to grab the pipe and to slow down while smoke this dosen't seem to be a problem anymore. Another truly great experance with CI.
Quite new to pipes but quickly starting to become one of my favorite past times/ hobby. I got this pipe to spare my only pipe that was once my grandfathers. I have to say that I really enjoy this pipe, it smoked very cool and smooth. for my first time smoking it I used some captain black cherry. im not really impressed with the tobacco but this pipe shines. I think I might just pick up one of each of these missouri meerchaum pipes.

First of all, I want to wish you a Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Valentine's Day! I used to have a big family gathering every year on Chinese new year with my dad's side of the family, then we started to go house to house to my mom's side of family. It was a tradition that was never skipped, until the last few years before I moved here to the States. So, I don't get to celebrate it the big way like it used to be anymore, especially since now my parents are so far away in Indonesia. But I never fail to call them each year and wish them a happy new year and good health. Oh, how I miss them so badly :(.
On the other hand, I was never big on Valentine. I'm still happy whenever Valentine comes around because I got to see some cute and romantic decoration everywhere. I also love to check out what other people in the blogsphere world made to celebrate this love day. Most of them involved lots of chocolate, raspberries, strawberries, rose, and it's very interesting to see what they made to show their love to the significant other. I did have LOTS of ideas of Valentine's dessert, not that I celebrate it or anything but it's just interesting to participate in the season :), but of course ideas don't just come to reality just like that. I only had time to make this one mini cake. I'll save the other dessert ideas for next time :)
This cake wasn't one of my original ideas, in fact, this wasn't planned at all. I was going to Trader Joe's to pick up a mascarpone cheese for the previous cake and at that time, they were distributing a cake sample. It was their vanilla bean butter cake mix, topped with raspberry mascarpone (mascarpone mixed with raspberry jam), and guess what, vanilla bean, mascarpone, raspberry, my favorite!!! the cake was really simple to make but it reminds me once again how much I love mascarpone and raspberry together. So, after making the previous cake, I had a little mascarpone mousse leftover and I immediately remembered the previous cake sample I had. So, I took one chocolate sponge in the freezer and cut it up with a cake ring, layered it with thin layer of raspberry jam, put some fresh raspberry on the edges, mixed the leftover mascarpone mousse with raspberry jam and layered it on the cake. I also had some mascarpone cheesecake in the freezer already cut up to fit the inside of my mini cake ring, so I put it inside the raspberry mascarpone. Fortunately, I also had a little raspberry glaze left too in the freezer to put on top of the cake. Yes, I have A LOT of little goodies here and there in the freezer in case you're wondering :). I found gorgeous raspberries when I shopped for the previous cake too. It was expensive for a little box, but I had to buy it. It turned out to be organic raspberries and they were like little gems, bright red, plump, fresh, and I just have to take a pic.
I guess all these coincident (or more like all these leftovers) are meant for Valentine theme. It has chocolate, raspberries, red color, I just love the color of this . One thing I didn't have as leftover was the red rose petal. I thought it would look super pretty with it underneath the raspberries, don't you think? :D

Soft Tissue Sarcoma Treatment:
Research is ongoing in the area of soft tissue sarcomas. Scientists are learning more about causes and ways to prevent sarcomas, and doctors are working to improve treatments.
Basic research
Scientists have made progress in understanding how certain changes in the DNA of soft tissue cells cause sarcomas to develop. This information is already being applied to new tests to diagnose and classify sarcomas. This is important because accurate classification helps doctors select the most appropriate treatment. It is hoped that this information will soon lead to new strategies for treating these cancers, based on specific differences between normal and malignant soft tissue cells.
Classification of most cancers, including sarcomas, is based mostly on the way they look under a microscope. Recent research has shown that several different kinds of soft tissue sarcomas can look very similar under the microscope. By using new lab methods, researchers discovered that most cancers that used to be called malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) are actually high-grade forms of liposarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, other sarcomas, and even carcinomas or lymphomas. About 10% to 15% of cancers that were called MFH still cannot be given a precise classification, and these are now called pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcomas or undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas.
Active research in chemotherapy for soft tissue sarcomas includes studies of new drugs and new ways to give drugs that now are available.
A new drug called trabectedin (Yondelis®) has been shown to help some patients with soft tissue sarcomas. It is approved for use in Europe, but it is still being tested in the United States. In this country, it is currently only available as part of a clinical trial.
Targeted therapy
Even more active than research into chemotherapy is research into so-called targeted drugs. These are drugs that specifically block molecules in the cancer cells that cause the cancers to grow.
Other targeted drugs may also be helpful against sarcomas. For example, the targeted drug sunitinib (Sutent®) seems to slow the growth of many sarcomas. Sirolimus (Rapamune®) has shown some promise in treating patients with PEComa, especially pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Other drugs being studied include cixutumumab, PD0332991, and ridaforolimus.
Anti-angiogenesis drugs
Drugs that block new blood vessel formation may help kill sarcomas by preventing their nourishment by the blood vessels. One such drug, bevacizumab (Avastin®) has shown a small benefit in sarcoma patients, when given with doxorubicin (Adriamycin). Cediranib is a newer anti-angiogenesis drug that shows promise in treating a certain kind of soft tissue sarcoma.

I was introduced to quinoa a couple of years ago and have grown to love it. Quinoa is a nutritious, gluten-free, pseudo-grain that is delicious. It's also high in protein. It comes in several different colors — white, red and black — but the most common form is white.
The question most of us ask when we are introduced to a new food is what do I do with it? Here are a couple of my thoughts and recipes that inspire me. I'd love fellow quinoa lovers to share their ideas and recipes as well!
1. Basic quinoa: First, the most important thing to learn is how to make a good basic quinoa. You need to wash the saponin coating off the quinoa because it is bitter. This takes quite a bit of rinsing, in my experience. But I've also found that a soaking period, which I do for nutritional and digestibility factors, helps with removing the bitterness from quinoa. You can get my basic quinoa recipe here.
We enjoy quinoa with a dab of pastured, organic butter, and sometimes soy sauce too. It's delicious just like that. But you can do a lot more with it too. For example, you can make a Mexican quinoa bowl by topping it with avocado, Mexican beef, sour cream, salsa, or whatever else you like. You can also serve it instead of rice with a stir-fry.
2. In soups: Quinoa is excellent in soups. It adds a lot of flavor. You know your favorite chicken and rice soup? Substitute quinoa instead for a tasty treat. Quinoa and chicken have a real affinity for each other. I use them together in this Slow Cooked Quinoa and Chicken recipe, which is simple to put together and delicious too.
3. In cold salads: While delightful hot, it's also delicious cold. I love it in salads. If you have leftover quinoa, keep it and sprinkle it generously over your green salad the next day. It doesn't have to be fancy. I just recommend that you use a homemade dressing as it makes all of the difference. If you wanted a cold quinoa salad, I really love it with Mexican flavors. My first version is here, and a slightly updated version is in my cookbook, Fresh: Nourishing Salads for all Seasons.
4. As a stuffing: Like rice, quinoa can be used to make delicious stuffing. You could certainly use it to stuff a roasted chicken or turkey, but you can also make a stuffing side dish that's equally delicious. One recipe I created is Stovetop Quinoa and Mushroom Stuffing. If you wanted to actually stuff quinoa into something but want a vegetarian option, this recipe for Squash Boats with Quinoa looks divine. I haven't tried this recipe yet, but a friend loves it and she has excellent taste, so I know it's good. It sounds delicious and the pictures are beautiful!
5. Quinoa patties or "cakes": You can also form quinoa into patties and either pan-fry them or bake them in the oven. Heidi at 101cookbooks has delightful recipes. One recipe that looks very yummy is her Baked Quinoa Patties. This herby, kale-enriched recipe looks so perfect for a light lunch. Along the same lines is this recipe, Quinoa Cakes with Poached Eggs.
It's your turn. What ways do you like to use quinoa? Have any favorite recipes?

UH Manoa law professor and student contribute to Handbook on Reparations
Comprehensive essay collection examines reparations programs for human rights victimsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Carol Mon Lee, (808) 956-8636
William S. Richardson School of Law
HONOLULU — The Handbook of Reparations, a groundbreaking collection of essays launched in May by the International Center for Transitional Justice and published by Oxford University Press, includes a lengthy chapter on the process of Japanese American redress authored by Eric Yamamoto and Liann Ebesugawa of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's William S. Richardson School of Law. Yamamoto is a professor of law and Ebesugawa is a 2004 graduate.
At more than 1,000 pages, the comprehensive study is the result of more than three years of intensive international and interdisciplinary research and the collaborative work of 27 authors from 14 countries. Written from a transitional justice perspective, the book employs a unique approach in examining national reparations programs by analyzing the experiences, needs and impacts on victims.
Yamamoto's and Ebesugawa's collaborative effort is the only chapter in the handbook dealing with the United States.
The book provides a broad range of essential information about past experiences with massive reparations programs as well as normative guidance for future practice. Focusing on such varied contexts as Chile, Malawi, the September 11 Fund, and post-war Germany, case studies in the book offer new information about programs in different parts of the world that have never before been analyzed.
The Handbook of Reparations is available for purchase from Oxford University Press at www.oup.com .

Santa Obama's $9 Minimum Wage: Good Propaganda, Bad Economics–Videos
Santa Obama's $9 minimum wage: good propaganda, bad economics
By Raymond Thomas Pronk
Presidential economic policies like the proverbial "road to hell" are often paved with good intentions.
In his 2013 State of the Union address, President Barack Obama said:
"Even with the tax relief we've put in place, a family with two kids that earns the minimum wage still lives below the poverty line. That's wrong. Tonight, let's declare that in the wealthiest nation on Earth, no one who works full time should have to live in poverty and raise the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour. This single step would raise the incomes of millions of working families. It could mean the difference between groceries or the food bank; rent or eviction; scraping by or finally getting ahead. For businesses across the country, it would mean customers with more money in their pockets."
Why not increase the minimum wage to $18 per hour and win America's war on poverty?
What are the economic consequences or impact of a $9 minimum wage on young high school and college students seeking employment? A decidedly negative impact if economic history is any guide.
The large increase in teenage unemployment is partly driven by the increase in the minimum wage. When the minimum wage rate was increased in July 2008 from $5.85 to $6.55 there was an upward spike in the teenage unemployment rate to greater than 20 percent. When the minimum wage was again increased in July 2009 from $6.55 to its current rate of $7.25, there was another upward spike in the teenage unemployment rate to greater than 25 percent. This rising trend of upward spikes in teenage unemployment rates after an increase in the minimum wage is reflected in the following chart.
Unemployment rate or percent of 16-19 years from 1948 to present
Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor
David Neumark, professor of economics at the University of California, Irvine and William L. Wascher, deputy director in the Division of Research and Statistics at the Federal Reserve Board, in their book, "Minimum Wages," provide a comprehensive review of the evidence on the economic effects of minimum wage laws. They concluded that such laws reduce employment opportunities for less-skilled workers, tend to reduce their earnings and are not very effective in reducing poverty.
If Congress passes an increase in the minimum wage to $9 as proposed by Obama, young, inexperienced, low-skill workers, especially blacks and Hispanics, will again be hurt for they will not be hired by businesses who cannot afford to pay them the higher mandated minimum wage. This will be reflected in yet another spike upward in the teenage unemployment rate that might exceed 30 percent.
Furthermore, young American citizens, especially blacks and Hispanics, will face stiff competition from the more than 11 million illegal aliens who predominantly seek low-skilled jobs. Obama and progressives in both the Democratic and Republican parties want to grant these illegal aliens immediate legal status to work in the U.S.
Obama is repeating the past economic policy mistakes of progressive presidents from both political parties such as Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman, Johnson, Nixon, Carter and the Bushes in mandating higher than free market wage rates. These well-intentioned but massive government interventionist economic policies lead to prolonged depressions and recessions with high unemployment rates, especially for young, inexperienced, low skilled and minority workers.
Thirty years ago the black economist, Walter E. Williams, explored the effects of federal and state government intervention into the economy, including minimum wage laws, in the PBS documentary, Good Intentions, based upon his 1982 book, "The State Against Blacks." Those favoring a rise in the federal minimum wage would be well advised to view this video together with "Milton Friedman on the Minimum Wage" on YouTube before advocating an increase in the minimum wage.
For young American citizens an entry-level job paying a lower competitive market wage rate is preferable to no job at a higher government mandated minimum wage.
Good intentions are not enough. Results measured in jobs created count.

Digital Age-Why is Coolidge the Forgotten President?-Amity Shlaes
Sumner's Explanation of The Forgotten Man – Revised for the 21st Century
Sumner's Explanation of The Forgotten Man – Revised for the 21st
By Joshua Lyons 9/25/09
As soon as A observes something which seems to him to be wrong, from which X is suffering, A talks it over with B, and A and B then propose to get a law passed – with the praise of Y – to remedy the evil and help X.
Their law always proposes to determine what C shall do for X or, in the better case, what A, B and C shall do for X.
As for A and B, who get a law to make themselves do for X what they are willing to do for him, we have nothing to say except that they might better have done it without any law, but C is forced to comply with the new law.
All this is done while Y looks on with glee and proclaims that A and B are so good for helping poor X.
A is the politician
B is the humanitarian, special interest, do-gooder, reformer, social speculator, etc.
C is The Forgotten Man (i.e. you, me, us)
X is the downtrodden, the oppressed, the little guy, the misunderstood, etc.
Y is the Mainstream Media
In other words…
As soon as THE POLITICIAN observes something which seems to him to be wrong, from which THE DOWNTRODDEN is suffering, THE POLITICIAN talks it over with THE HUMANITARIAN, and THE POLITICIAN and THE HUMANITARIAN then propose to get a law passed – with the praise of THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA – to remedy the evil and help THE DOWNTRODDEN.
Their law always proposes to determine what THE FORGOTTEN MAN shall do for THE DOWNTRODDEN or, in the
better case, what THE POLITICIAN, THE HUMANITARIAN and THE FORGOTTEN MAN shall do for THE DOWNTRODDEN.
As for THE POLITICIAN and THE HUMANITARIAN, who get a law to make themselves do for THE DOWNTRODDEN what they are willing to do for him, we have
nothing to say except that they might better have done it without any law, but THE FORGOTTEN MAN is forced to comply with the new law.
All this is done while THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA looks on with glee and proclaims that THE POLITICIAN and THE HUMANITARIAN are so good for helping poor THE DOWNTRODDEN.
The preceding commentary was based on William Graham Sumner's explanation of The Forgotten Man.

The Job-Killing Impact of Minimum Wage Laws
"Good Intentions" by Dr. Walter Williams
Dr. Walter Williams' 1982 PBS documentary "Good Intentions" based on his book, "The State Against Blacks". The documentary was very controversial at the time it was released and led to many animosities and even threats of murder.
In "Good Intentions", Dr. Williams examines the failure of the war on poverty and the devastating effect of well meaning government policies on blacks asserting that the state harms people in the U.S. more than it helps them. He shows how government anti-poverty programs have often locked people into poverty making the points that:
– being forced to attend 3rd rate public schools leave students unprepared for working life
– minimum wages prevent young people from obtaining jobs at an early age
– licensing and labor laws have had the effect of restricting entrance of blacks into the skilled trades and unions
– the welfare system creates perverse incentives for the poor to make bad choices they otherwise would not
Dr. Williams presents the following solutions to these problems:
Failing Public Schools – Give parents greater control over their children's education by setting up a tuition tax credit or voucher system to broaden competition in turn revitalizing both public and non-public schools
Minimum Wages – Remove the minimum wage from youngsters to give more young people the chance to learn the world of work at an early age instead spending their free time idle an possibly falling into the habits of the street
Restrictive Labor Laws, Jobs Programs – Eliminate government roadblocks that prevent new entrepreneurs from starting their own business
Welfare Programs – Enact a compassionate welfare system such as a negative income tax which would remove dependency and dis-incentives for the poor to get themselves out of poverty
Scholars interviewed in the documentary include Donald Eberle, Charles Murray, and George Gilder.

Jewish World Review April 8, 2013/ 28 Nissan, 5773
The Senate as it once was
By David Shribman
JewishWorldReview.com | WASHINGTON -- What if they had a Senate race and nobody ran?
Not as fanciful as you think. It's only April and already seven lawmakers have announced they won't run again in elections still 18 months away. Alm ost certainly more will join them. Last year 10 senators shied away from running.
A lot of qualified people no longer want to be in the world's most exclusive club -- it's actually called that, though many describe it as the cave of winds. Especially the men and women who are in it now.
Of all the institutions in American life, the Senate once seemed the sturdiest. Fortified with rules written by Thomas Jefferson, animated by an 18th century Enlightenment outlook, protected by a generous sense of tenure, it had charm and stability and seemed impervious to change.
Within its walls, time stood still, in part because the traditions of the Senate defied time, because the rules of the Senate suspended time, because time could not dim the history -- from Webster and Calhoun to Baker, Dole and three Kennedys -- that was made within those walls.
"I had such respect for the institution itself and the very large figures who inhabited it, many of whom I had admired from afar," says former Sen. Gary W. Hart, a Colorado Democrat who served from 1975 to 1987. "Then, not one time in 12 years did I enter the chamber without being keenly aware that I was inheriting national history and making it at the same time."
All that was true and may be true again. But it is not true now, with senators abandoning the chamber like passengers fleeing an ocean liner on fire. No one today would agree with Gladstone's assessment that the Senate was "the most remarkable of all the inventions of modern politics."
Senators from another time regard their years in the chamber as among the richest, most rewarding in their lives, and almost universally they speak wistfully, nostalgically, almost romantically, about their time there. Yet these days the Senate is a wretched place.
There's the partisanship, which always existed but in the past was much more muted. There's the lack of comity, a favorite Senate word when there actually was some. There's the lack of respect from the public, which once regarded the Senate as the "upper house" even though longtime House denizens, particularly onetime Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr., never bought that theory. There's the lack of a sense of accomplishment, mostly because the Senate doesn't accomplish much anymore.
In short, it's a lousy job, with very little satisfaction because the Senate's work is consumed with routine filibusters, indefinite holds on legislation and nominations, and straight party votes dictated by leaders who watch helplessly as the chamber lurches from crisis to crisis.
Some figures make the case. Twenty years ago the Senate held 395 roll-call votes. Last year it held 251. Two decades ago it ratified 20 treaties. Last year it ratified none. Twenty years ago it confirmed 38,676 nominations. Last year it confirmed 24, 296 -- a reduction of about 37 percent.
Now, it is perfectly plausible to argue that a Congress that passes less legislation is a better Congress and, in a world where the country would do well to tend to its own knitting, the reduction of ratified treaties from 20 to zero is a good thing. But few people -- Republicans or Democrats -- go to the Capitol with the hope of accomplishing nothing, and few lawmakers, even in the age of the Tea Party, go to Washington with the stated intent of preventing legislation rather than promoting it.
"We had hard-line, unbending senators before," says former Vice President Walter F. Mondale of Minnesota, who served in the Senate between 1964 and 1976, "but they tended to marginalize themselves."
Similar comments could be heard from Republican lawmakers such as former Majority Leader Robert J. Dole of Kansas (Senate years 1969-1996) and, before he died last year, Warren B. Rudman of New Hampshire (1980-1993).
Consider two similarly situated sessions of Congress, the second session of the 112th that just was completed and the second session of the 106th in 2000 -- both the final years of a Congress meeting as an election loomed. The Senate in the second session of the 106th Congress sent 131 laws onto the books, according to the Congressional Record. The most recent Senate's second session logged 42.
"By that time, most of the senators -- those staying and those retiring -- regarded the Senate as a bad joke -- polarized, paralyzed and dysfunctional," says Ira Shapiro, a Washington lawyer whose "The Last Great Senate" looks with nostalgia to a different chamber in a different age. "The rising demand for 'regular order' reflects the deeply felt desire of senators to return to real legislating -- committee hearings and markups, floor debate on legislation and amendments, and hard bargaining which produces principled compromise and legislative accomplishments."
The situation is so bad -- there is so little to do in the Senate -- that lawmakers who once were members of the House now often cross the Capitol to pass the time with their former colleagues. Just two months ago, GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, 69, whose two terms in the Senate followed four in the House, stunned Washington by announcing he would not seek another term.
Mr. Chambliss was just the sort of lawmaker who in another era might have been counted for a long career. His service on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and his chairmanship of the Intelligence and Homeland Security Subcommittee, along with his status as ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, set him up to become that committee's chairman in a GOP Senate.
Instead, he decided to leave.
There are, to be sure, some hopeful signs. In the first few months of 2013, there is more evidence of serious work on important legislation, especially immigration, than the Senate has seen in years.
But lawmakers still feel profound frustration, and they don't feel they are surrounded by what Mr. Hart called "large scale figures." He listed some colleagues by last name only, knowing he served at a time when Senate surnames sufficed: "Mansfield, Humphrey, [Philip] Hart, Muskie, Nelson, Church, Mathias, Javits, Case, Stennis, Goldwater and many others," he recounted. "All gone. All gone."
All gone, and with them, something special in American life.
