Martin Heinrich. (Courtesy of heinrich.senate.gov .) When Martin Heinrich was in seventh grade, he learned a lesson about labor relations. His mother worked in a non-union auto-supply factory; when management informed the workers that their hours were going to shift from five days a week to six, there wasn’t much they could do. When they then moved to seven days a week—the new schedule was three weeks on and one week off—there still wasn’t much the workforce could do in response.

By now almost everyone knows of the famous Excel spreadsheet error by Harvard professors Carmen Reinhart and Ken Rogoff. It turns out that the main conclusions from their paper warning of the risks of high public sector debt were driven by miscalculations. When the data are entered correctly, this hugely influential paper can no longer be used to argue that the United States or other wealthy countries need fear a large growth penalty by running deficits now. There is no obvious reason that governments cannot increase spending on infrastructure, research, education and other services that will both directly improve Article source: http://www.opednews.com/articles/Destroying-The-Lair-Of-The-by-Dean-Baker-130513-424.html

It was a tough night for Nedra on “ Hell’s Kitchen .” One of the simplest tasks for any cook in a kitchen is boiling water. It’s something that has to be done constantly, and honestly, how can you mess that up? Well, Nedra found a way and unfortunately caught Gordon Ramsay’s attention in the process. “Chef Ramsay coming to show us how to boil pasta is pretty pathetic,” Ja’Nel admitted. “How hard is it to f*ck up linguini?” Nedra asked. “Evidently I f*cked it up.” BuddyTV couldn’t believe someone competing in a cooking competition couldn’t boil water , while Article source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/14/hells-kitchen-cant-boil-water-video_n_3270626.html

My mother went into paid work soon after my father’s clothing store was flooded out in a hurricane, almost wiping him out. She had no choice. We needed the money. This was some two decades before a tidal wave of wives and mothers went into paid work. For the few with four-year college degrees the transformation was the consequence of wider educational opportunity and new laws against gender discrimination that opened professions to well-educated women. But for the vast majority it was because male wages were dropping, and wives and mothers had to get paid Article source: http://www.opednews.com/articles/Working-Mother-s-Day-by-Robert-Reich-130512-505.html

TV reporters have always straddled the line between news and entertainment—the path from model or actress or pageant queen (Sawyer was one) to TV reporter is a well-trodden one. But for shows desperate not to lose eyeballs, skin becomes a competitive edge.

In roughly 22 minutes, Savory, a biologist and former member of the Rhodesian Parliament, challenged the conventional wisdom blaming livestock for the degradation of global grasslands into hardpan deserts. It has long been a basic tenet of environmentalism that 10,000 years of overgrazing has caused this desertification. Environmentalists insist that to restore degraded landscapes, we must reduce the presence of cattle, eat less meat, and allow ecosystems to repair themselves.

On April 23 Matt Drudge, owner and operator of the right-wing content aggregator The Drudge Report, tweeted that he “privately told friends” that 2013 would be the “year of Alex Jones.” Drudge has linked to the radio host and conspiracy-monger several times following the Boston Marathon bombings. On his personal twitter feed, Drudge predicted that 2013 would be the “year of Alex Jones,” praising his show as “one hell of a broadcast in such homogenized media!” In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Drudge linked to articles on Jones’ website Infowars, including stories that called Boston a “police state” during the manhunt for Article source: http://feeds.mediamatters.org/~r/mediamatters/latest/~3/b4FaTpRR6A4/193748

Eric Rudolph and the rights of American terrorists

“Abortion is murder. And when the regime in Washington legalized, sanctioned and legitimized this practice, they forfeited their legitimacy and moral authority to govern.” As CNN noted at the time, Rudolph said he had “nothing personal” against victims like off-duty policeman Robert Sanderson (killed in the Birmingham blast) and nurse Emily Lyons (who lost an eye and suffered other injuries). But he also had no remorse. In his statement Wednesday, he said that while homosexuality does not pose a threat when kept in private, the “attempt to force society to accept and recognize this behavior” should be met with “force if Article source: http://feeds.dailykos.com/~r/dailykos/index/~3/9SInSTVMr-8/-Eric-Rudolph-and-the-rights-of-American-terrorists

Noonan Blames Obama For Congressional Inaction On Guns After Previously Downplaying GOP Obstruction

FROM News Source http://leftblogtweets.com/2013/04/noonan-blames-obama-for-congressional-inaction-on-guns-after-previously-downplaying-gop-obstruction/

Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan attacked President Obama for “having a problem with the levers of power” after the Senate failed to pass background checks for gun sales despite the legislation receiving majority support — the final vote was 54-46, with 41 Republicans voting against the measure. Previously Noonan has dismissed concerns about historic Republican obstruction in Congress with a sarcastic “boo hoo.” Appearing on Meet The Press , Noonan responded to the Senate’s inability to pass background checks by referring to “a problem” when “90% of the American people” supported it but President Obama “can’t make anything move.” Noonan neglected to mention that the Article source: http://feeds.mediamatters.org/~r/mediamatters/latest/~3/VAohR5osv_c/193706

KABUL, Afghanistan — Officials say a helicopter owned by an Afghan company has made an emergency landing in a Taliban-controlled area of eastern Afghanistan, and the insurgents took all nine people who were aboard hostage. A district administrator in the area says the helicopter landed on Sunday afternoon in strong winds and rain in a village of Logar province, southeast of Kabul and about 30 kilometers (or 20 miles) from the Pakistan border. Hamidullah Hamid said on Monday that the Taliban captured all nine aboard the aircraft and took them from the area. He says the crew and passengers are all civilian.

America’s Focus on Terrorism Blinds Us To Everyday Violence and Suffering

April 23, 2013 / staff writer / No comments

FROM News Source http://leftblogtweets.com/2013/04/americas-focus-on-terrorism-blinds-us-to-everyday-violence-and-suffering/

The Boston Marathon bombing and shootouts with the suspects frightened millions of Americans and turned into one of the biggest media events of the 21st century. But beyond lingering questions of whether the government went too far by shutting down an entire city and whether that might encourage future terrorism, a deeper and darker question remains: why is America’s obsession with evil so selective? There are all kinds of violent events in America that go unheeded. The British-based Guardian newspaper reported that on the same day as the bombing, 11 people Article source: http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/40380982/0/alternet~Americas-Focus-on-Terrorism-Blinds-Us-To-Everyday-Violence-and-Suffering

Japan’s prime minister on Tuesday vowed to “expel by force” any Chinese landing on islands at the centre of a territorial row, after eight government vessels from China sailed into the disputed waters.

The definition of difference between a liberal and a conservative is the liberal, when sharing things about a great country, people from another country, will point out that he recognizes what’s wrong with it, whereas a conservative will point out what is great about it.

FROM News Source http://leftblogtweets.com/2013/04/neely-steinberg-getting-engaged-in-wartime-the-joy-of-getting-engaged-in-locked-down-boston/

I had a good chuckle over Dan McCarthy’s Esquire piece “ One-Night Stands in Wartime: The Problem with One-Night Stands in Locked-Down Boston ” about a one-night stand gone awry. Unable to quietly slip out of the home of his hook-up the next morning (as is commonly done in these delicate situations) due to the manhunt of the Boston marathon terrorist bomber, McCarthy was forced to endure an entire day with his tryst. I have a different personal story to share about that day, but one that relates more to matters of the heart than matters of the loins.
