blue/purple tekhelet dye
"Murex trunculus, a snail...   fringes...riband...   a mollusk that was over-harvested by Roman royalty, which adopted the color as its own.   It became a crime for Jews to wear garments dyed with the color or made in Luz, the ancient Israeli city identified with the manufacture of the fabric.   The Talmud mentions two Jews captured by the Romans for the crime of having 'items made in Luz', the Israeli city identified with the manufacture of tekhelet...   the commandment to wear tzitzit -- the ritual fringes worn on the 4-cornered prayer shawls...   Tekhelet was one of the few permanent dyes of the biblical era, made from a glandular secretion of the Murex snail called di-bromo-indi-rubin, which, after 5 to 10 minutes of exposure to air and sunlight, turns what's called 'biblical blue', say Jewish scholars."

C. Westley & K. Benkendorff: NIH: sex-specific Tyrian purple genesis
"Intermediates tyrindoxyl, tyrindoleninone, and tyriverdin were detected in female hypobranchial glands, along with 6,6'-dibromoindigo [blue], while males contained 6-bromoisatin and 6,6'-dibromoindirubin [purple]."
Tyrian Purple: Turkish Cultural Foundation
Zvi C. Koren: Springer: archaeo-chemical analysis of royal purple on a Darius i stone jar
"The major colorants identified in the purple pigment are 6,6′-dibromoindigo, 6-monobromoindigo, and 6,6′-dibromoindirubin, with negligible contributions by indigo and 6-bromoisatin.   This analysis establishes that a marine mollusk was the source of the purple pigment, which is the famous Royal Purple or Tyrian Purple of the ancients.   A comparison with the relative dye compositions of various Muricidae species (Hexaplex trunculus, Bolinus brandaris, and Stramonita haemastoma), and with their newly formulated Di-Mono Index values, suggests that the biological provenance of this ancient pigment was probably an indigo-deficient Hexaplex trunculus sea snail."

al-Qaeda moving into Ramadi and Fallujah
"Fighting began in the Ramadi area Monday, when security forces removed the main anti-government protest camp set up after demonstrations broke out in late 2012 against what Sunni Arabs say is the marginalisation and targeting of their community.   Anger in the Sunni Arab minority remains high, helping to fuel the worst violence to hit Iraq in 5 years.   Fighters from the Al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which operates in both Iraq and neighbouring Syria, advanced amid early morning clashes into areas of central Ramadi and deployed snipers on one street, a police captain said.   A police colonel said the army had re-entered areas of Fallujah, between Ramadi and Baghdad, but that a around a quarter of it remained under ISIL control...   Prime-minister Nuri al-Maliki had long sought the closure of the protest camp near Ramadi, dubbing it a 'head-quarters for the leadership of Al-Qaeda'..." 2014-01-01

2 resolutions to make and keep in 2014
"The first is to do everything, and we do mean everything, humanly possible to defeat the passage of legislation granting amnesty to illegal aliens.   The second is to work to make sure every office...has a limited government constitutional conservative candidate filed and running a real campaign.   We put defeating amnesty for illegal aliens at the top of our list of New Year's resolutions because amnesty is the radical Leftist goal that, once accomplished, will ensure the rapid remaking of American society, and the irreversible destruction of American exceptionalism.   And, thanks to the Republican establishment, their cheap labor allies in the business community, and such Republican members of congress as Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan, they've never been closer to accomplishing that goal...   Speaker Boehner, House majority-leader Eric Cantor and Republican whip Kevin McCarthy fear the conservative voter back-lash against those Republicans who vote for amnesty if they hold the vote before their members have faced the voters in the 2014 Republican Primary elections.   They intend to keep their bill under wraps, and hold-off on the vote, until after the bulk of the Republican primary elections have been held..."

what could go wrong with military robotice?
"The notion that an armed, autonomous drone equals 'scientific progress' reminds us all too much of the celebrations of the technical achievements involved in the NSA's as yet uncharted ability to eavesdrop on virtually any form of communication.   Yes, it represents an astonishing level of scientific and technical knowhow, but is it constitutional? [Is it ethical?]   We are extremely skeptical that armed autonomous drones will save money or make America safer.   Until the scientific and technical geniuses behind the idea of autonomous armed drones also equip them with a fool-proof 'Constitution chip' we remain opponents of the deployment of such technology."

engineers from India: filling USA tech shortage or merely cheap, young, pliant, low-skilled labor with flexible ethics?
"'Based on figures from the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security [DHS] and Current Population Survey [BLS CPS] data, they estimate that 160,755 foreign workers were given H-1B or other work visas for 'IT' jobs in 2011, out of 483,692 jobs that went to candidates with a bachelor's or master's degree', while half of U.S. math, science and engineering grads are not working in their fields, the story added.   'It has nothing to do with any lack of American workers.', professor Ron Hira of Rochester Institute of Technology told Global Post's James Tapper.   'It is simply that the foreign workers will work for less.'"
2014-01-03: James Tapper: Global Post: the Indian tech worker H-1B visa scam
"More than 1 in 3 US tech jobs go to foreigners.   Americans, and many foreigners, get cheated in the process...   why would Indian newspapers, TV stations and financial web-sites be interested -- arguably more interested than most USA media -- in the announcement by New Jersey-[and Bangalore-]based IT firm Cognizant Technology Solutions that it will create 10K new American jobs? The short answer is that most of Cognizant's 166,400 staff are based in India.   Only 29K work in the USA, mostly at the firm's [US] head-quarters in Teaneck, NJ...   'The firms bank visas -- keep people back in India on the bench and then utilize them when needed.   Also, they rotate workers in the US to ensure they don't establish roots, and rotate them back and forth to India.   These firms are growing so fast that they [like to have] a bank [or stable] of visas to meet any new growth.'"

  "Black illiteracy decreased to 16.4% in 1930, from 45% in 1900.   Fewer black babies died at birth -- by half.   Black life expectancy was rising.   Most important, blacks were able to find work at about the same rates whites did.   Data from the 1930 census would show black unemployment nationally standing slightly below white unemployment.   Coolidge of the party of Lincoln was not content with this.   He wanted to see an end to lynchings in the South but was not clear whether congress had the authority to reach over the states and do so.   In 1923 December, he said that 'the congress ought to exercise all its powers of prevention and punishment against the hideous crimes of lynching'.   But congress was not inclined to act..." --- Amity Shlaes 2007 _The Forgotten Man_ pg43

  "The first balloon-frame structure in the world was St. Mary's Catholic church in Chicago, erected by 3 men in 3 months in the year 1833.   Speed and expedience appear to have been the motive forces.   Though fewer than 1K people lived in Chicago at the time, the infant boom-town was already running short of big trees suitable for timber framing.   It did have steam-driven saw-mills, however, and logs could be floated down along Lake Michigan from the vast white pine forests of Michigan and Wisconsin.   The new builing method -- which for many years was called 'Chicago construction' -- allowed the city to be built, if not quite in a day, then in something less than a single year." --- Michael Pollan 1997 _A Place of My Own_ pg150

"the Republicans have not been able to explain to the country either the illiberal nature of liberalism or its hypocrisies...   An entire array of issues is going to have to be reformulated.   Take illegal immigration.   It is a gift for wealthy employers and La Raza elites, but an anathema for entry-level laborers of all races whose wages are destroyed by off-the-books illegals.   Strapped [tax-victims], not big business, pay for the impact on schools, infrastructure, and the legal system when 11M cross the border illegally.   More gun control is an elite musing: it does nothing to rid us of illegal [abuse of] weaponry, but much to aggravate the middle-class hunter and home-owner, while exempting well-armed security of the elite class.   Zero interest rates have made banks flush with cash that they pay no interest on, while hardly reducing credit card interest rates and ensuring that play-by-the-rules middle class passbook savers lose money.   Quantitative easing [i.e. devaluation of the currency] and the Federal Reserve have ensured a rush to the stock market that booms while unemployment remains high.   The world of Larry Summers, Jack Lew, or Peter Orszag benefits -- not the retired teacher with his life savings earning nothing.   The farm bill is still a giveaway to wealthy agribusiness at a time of record farm prices..."

non-leftists seek to oust GOP losership in primaries
"Our friend Tony Lee has a great article posted on Breitbart about how the Empire is striking back in Texas by funding independent expenditures on behalf of pro-Big Government candidates in Republican Primaries.   Lee reports that 'The Texas Future Business Alliance', which is described as a 'mix of 10 major business groups, including the chemical industry, bankers, builders and contractors', is reportedly 'sending out mailers and providing other support on behalf of GOP candidates' who favor more government spending and want to take on the Tea Party.   Michael Quinn Sullivan, president of the fiscal-hawk group Empower Texans, said, according to Lee, 'the Texas Future Business Alliance' is an 'anti-Ted Cruz movement [that] is nothing but a group of big-money interests wanting [tax-victim] dollars to flow into their pockets'.   Designating them a 'fake group', he also said they 'want people who will vote for cronyism and corporate welfare'.   These...organizations are typical of the Big Business consultant-driven tactics inspired by such professional political operatives as Karl Rove.   A year ago Rove announced the '[Anti-Conservative] Victory Project', which judging by its goals and Rove's record of 22 losses to 9 wins in 2012, is neither conservative nor likely to lead to victories in 2014.   The US Chamber of Commerce, another major player and motivator of Big Government Republicanism has announced that it will spend $50M in a project to advance the candidacies of Big Government candidates and to oppose candidates who identify as limited government constitutional conservatives."

the "trickle-down" lie
"While there have been all too many lies told in politics, most have some little tiny fraction of truth in them, to make them seem plausible.   But the 'trickle-down' lie is 100% lie.   It should win the contest both because of its purity -- no contaminating speck of truth — and because of how many people have repeated it over the years, without any evidence being asked for or given.   Years ago, this column challenged anybody to quote any economist outside of an insane asylum who had ever advocated this 'trickle-down' theory.   Some readers said that somebody said that somebody else had advocated a 'trickle-down' policy.   But they could never name that somebody else and quote them...   Let's do something completely unexpected: Let's stop and think.   Why would anyone advocate that we 'give' something to A in hopes that it would trickle down to B? Why in the world would any sane person not give it to B and cut out the middleman? But all this is moot, because there was no trickle-down theory about giving something to anybody in the first place.   The 'trickle-down' theory cannot be found in even the most voluminous scholarly studies of economic theories -- including J.A. Schumpeter's monumental _History of Economic Analysis_, more than a thousand pages long and printed in very small type..."

anti-convulsant valproate helps adults acquire perfect pitch, learn new languages
"researchers found that valproate, an anticonvulsant which is used to treat epilepsy, PTSD, and mood disorders, helped adult volunteers learn to identify pitch significantly better than those who trained in the same program while taking only a placebo.   'This study provides the proof-of-concept for the possibility to restore [brain] neuroplasticity'...   As children, our developing brains are saturated with new information that must be sorted and processed to make sense of the world and so our brains form new connections between cells, strengthen existing ones, and prune others, all part of the learning process, a process referred to by scientists as synaptic plasticity.   As we age this plasticity or ability for the brain to modify itself is lost -- and so too is the ability to effortlessly learn...   critical periods close when a particular enzyme, HDAC, acts as a brake on plasticity...   HDAC enzyme-inhibitor valproate...   after the two-week training period had elapsed: Those who took valproate scored much higher on pitch tests than those who took a placebo...   Perfect pitch...rare in the U.S.A. and Europe, with an estimated prevalence of less than 1 in every 10K people.   Yet, a team of researchers led by psychology professor Diana Deutsch of U of CA at San Diego found a strong link between speaking a tone language -- such as VietNamese -- and having absolute pitch...   In Mandarin, for instance, the word 'ma' has 4 distinct meanings depending on how it is pronounced: 'mother', 'hemp', 'horse', and 'scold'...   'In Mandarin speakers, perfect pitch appears to be not rare, but rather a readily acquired ability.', Deutsch said..."

"Graham Allison, Harvard professor and Defense Department consultant, hears 'echoes of 1914' in 2014.   So does the military historian sir Max Hastings...   The turmoil in the Middle East today reminds her of the turmoil in the Balkans in 1914, said British professor Margaret MacMillan, who wrote a book about _The War that Ended Peace_.   War has been as common a source of human misery as poverty and disease.   On average, there've been at least 3 'major' wars going on every year for the last 4K years, calculates biologist Antonio Casolari...   There've been just 3 periods of relative peace: the Pax Romana, the Pax Britannica (1815 to 1914), and the Pax Americana (1945 to the present)."

what did the Fed do with Germany's gold?
"'When the countries [gave] their gold...to the Federal Reserve [under the] full faith and credit in the United States...they gave it to the Federal Reserve and each of them marked their gold.', Beck said on his radio program.   '...And in this case, it says Bundesbank, Germany.'   Germany has had billions of dollars worth of gold in the Federal Reserve for decades, but announced last year that it would like at least a percentage of it returned by 2014, and more in subsequent years.   The initial request [and the Fed's demurral] generated massive international speculation, but the actual return so far has been less publicized.   Beck referenced a report from Zero Hedge indicating the initial gold returned to Germany by the United States 'didn't have the stamp on it'.   The Federal Reserve reportedly said it had to melt down the gold for transport.   But one other explanation, Beck noted, could be that the Federal Reserve has already used or sold Germany's gold, and is now scrambling to replace it..."

salaries for new CS grads down again
 
Happy New Year, everyone.
 
I haven't had much to comment on recently, but now have 2 items, one concerning the latest NACE report and the other involving a recent
DoL announcement about the training programs funded by the H-1B user fees.   This latter is a can of worms, so I'll leave it for a different post.
 
That's interesting.   I don't see that announcement on the DoL Public Affairs press release page, nor does it turn up with the search facility they have there...jgo
 
So, let's look at NACE, the National Association for Colleges and Employers, an organization that tracks starting salaries and other data concerning jobs for new graduates.   I've cited their data many times in the past.
 
The summary of the latest NACE report, just out today.
 
It shows that starting salary for new Computer Science majors is DOWN a bit, -0.2%.   That's a minuscule change, of course, subject to sampling variation, but it certainly doesn't jibe with the industry lobbyists' claims of a desperate labor shortage.
 
Furthermore, NACE points out that their last survey, in September (pdf), new CS grads had already found a -2.5% change [in new grads' salary offers].
 
They did say that in the current survey, some sub-fields of CS actually had an increase, but only 0.5% [much much less than inflation].
 
This once again shows, as have past NACE reports, that we simply don't have a shortage of new CS grads.
 
And yet, senator Moran has, ironically, added an amendment to the bill on unemployment benefits that would give an automatic green card to all foreign STEM students with new graduate degrees.
 
Even more ironically, Moran's green cards would be conditional on the foreign student finding work within a year.   If we have a "desperate STEM labor shortage", why do these students need a year to find a job?   [If there were a shortage, 90% of new grads would have job offers before graduation.   Instead, only between one-third and one-half of new STEM grads in the USA have landed STEM work within a year after graduation.]

16 House Republicans tell Obummer: amnesty for illegal aliens is the final economic blow to American workers
Sara Carter: Blaze
Kristina Peterson: Wall Street Journal
"16 House Republicans led by representative Mo Brooks (R-AL) are demanding president Barack Obama get unemployed Americans back to work before granting amnesty to illegal aliens or bringing unprecedented levels of new immigrants to take jobs away from American workers [disgustingly suggesting they'd go along with it afterwards].   'We write to you today on behalf of the 21M Americans who can't find a full time job.', the GOP members of the House wrote to President Obama Wednesday.   'We write to you on behalf of the 6M young Americans who are neither working nor in school.   We write on behalf of the countless American workers whose wages today are lower than they were more than a decade ago.   We write on behalf of the 90M Americans over 16 -- including early retirees, college grads living at home, and those living on welfare -- who are not part of our nation's work-force.'   Because of massive and perpetual unemployment statistics, the GOP congressmen argued that Obama should stop pushing for a large immigration bill that would contain amnesty -- any legal status for any illegal alien -- and a massive increase in legal immigration.   'That is why we reject your call for the House to get an immigration bill to your desk that would permanently displace American workers.', they wrote.   The senate immigration bill [S744], which the White House helped craft and you personally endorse, would double the number of guest workers brought into this country at a time of crippling joblessness and falling incomes.   On top of that, the senate immigration bill [S744] would also add millions more permanent immigrant workers through green cards -- handing out permanent residency to more than 30M immigrants over the next decade.   This represents a tripling of the normal green card rate.   In addition to Brooks, representatives Kerry Bentivolio (R-MI), Lou Barletta (R-PA), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Walter Jones (R-NC), Phil Gingrey (R-GA), Michele Bachmann (R-MN), John Fleming (R-LA), Steve King (R-IA), Ted Yoho (R-FL), Joe Wilson (R-SC), Steve Stockman (R-TX), Lamar Smith (R-TX), Steven Palazzo (R-MS), Mike Rogers (R-AL) and Jeff Duncan (R-SC), each signed the letter...   Tom Donohue announced Wednesday morning that the Chamber is planning a massive push to try to get immigration legislation passed out of the House, which would result in more cheap labor for its clients...   They also cited a recent report from Byron York in the Washington Examiner showing how companies that have been begging for new workers from over-seas have laid off thousands of American workers in recent months..."

  "Nancy Lowry and David W. Johnson studied a [class-room]... With one group, the discussion was led in a way that fostered a consensus.   With the second group, the discussion was designed to produce disagreements about the right answer.   Students who achieved easy consensus were less interested in the topic, studied less, and were less likely to visit the library to get additional information. &bsp; The most telling difference, though, was revealed when teachers showed a special film about the discussion topid -- during recess! &bsp; Only 18% of the consensus students missed recess to see the film, but 45% of the students from the disagreement group stayed for the film.   The thirst to fill a knowledge gap -- to find out who was right -- can be more powerful than the thirst for slices and jungle gyms." --- Chip Heath & Dan Heath 2007, 2008 _Made to Stick_ pg89

"The members of congress warned Holder and Gruenberg that these actions were undertaken by their respective agencies without statutory authority.   'Your actions to choke off short-term lenders by changing the structure of the financial system are outside your congressional mandate.', they wrote.   'With the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, congress acknowledged the need for short-term credit products and did not try to limit on-line lender's or storefront operators' ability to offer such products.'   Congress, they wrote, actually wanted to limit these type of actions.   'Dodd-Frank also included a specific provision designed to prohibit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from imposing rate limitations on short-term loans.   Neither Dodd-Frank, nor any other legislation passed by congress, has given the DoJ/FDIC or any other federal agency the authority to take away the very air that on-line lenders need to survive.'..."

"As Ofir Haivry, the vice president of the Herzl Institute explained in an important article in Mosaic online magazine, Arab nationalism was born in pan-Arabism-an invention of European powers during World War I which sought to endow the post-Ottoman Middle East with a new identity.   The core of the new identity was the Arabic language.   The religious, tribal, ethnic and nationalist aspirations of the peoples of the Arabic speaking region were to be smothered and replaced by a new pan-Arab identity.   For the Christians of the former Ottoman Empire, pan-Arabism was a welcome means of getting out from under the jack-boot of the Islamic Laws of Omar, which reduce non-Muslims living under Muslim rule to the status of powerless dhimmis, who survive at the pleasure of their Islamic rulers..."

"Every week, one airport in the United States closes down, said Jimmy Kingsborough, the operations officer at the Carlisle Airport...   Jonathan Bowser, CEO of Cumberland Area Economic Development Corporation, said when an airport is privately owned, there is a limit to the amount of funds they can receive, while a [government] entity is able to get federal funds."

DNA sequencing device raises doctors' hopes for personalized medicine
"The Illumina MiSeqDx can [run an individual's complete DNA sequence] in about a day for less than $5K -- and the results will be more accurate, 2 of the nation's top physicians gushed in the NEJM...   The Illumina MiSeqDx platform works by breaking down, rebuilding and recording the entire sequence of a person's DNA in a massively parallel fashion, completing the job in a matter of hours.   The company intends to market the machine to diagnostic labs, medical centers and private practices, at a price slightly more than $125K...   Instead of checking for the 6 mutations most commonly linked to the disease, the new tests are able to discern a total of 139 genetic variations that give rise to cystic fibrosis.   They will also tell doctors whether a patient is among the 4% who has a mutation that's targeted by a specific, costly drug..."

is fast-track legislation for the Trans-Pacific Partnership DOA?
"...(...TTIP) with the European Union...   Fast Track is a terrible idea because it's a proven job killer.   It gives the president the right to send treaty implementing legislation to congress for a vote without any opportunity to amend or improve it.   Setting enforceable job creation goals or creating effective mechanisms to deal with currency manipulation, for example, will be impossible if the legislation is fast-tracked.   NAFTA, which was fast-tracked in 1993, and which was the prototype for more than a dozen U.S. trade and investment deals negotiated over the past decade, resulted in growing trade deficits with Mexico that eliminated nearly 700K U.S. jobs by 2010.   More recently, president Obama pushed through a new trade deal between Korea and the United States (the KORUS deal), which resulted in the loss of 40K jobs in the first year alone."

2 funny things happeed on the way to the alleged "STEM skills shortage"
"Funny thing #1 is a drop in the average starting salaries of new college graduates with computer science, engineering, and chemistry degrees...   Funny thing #2 is an amendment offered by senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) that would provide a green card to any foreign student earning a STEM degree in the United States...   'Even more ironically', Matloff noted, 'Moran's green cards would be conditional on the foreign student finding work within a year.   If we have a desperate STEM labor shortage, why do these students need a year to find a job?'   Maybe some of the nation's nearly 4M long-term unemployed -- some of them scientists and engineers laid off from large pharma and tech companies -- can explain."

more attractive people are paid more
"good-looking CEOs are paid more handsomely, but also that they're actually better for their companies in surprising ways.   Attractive CEOs have 'a positive and significant impact on stock returns' when they first appear on television, according to a working paper by Joseph T. Halford and Hung-Chia Hsu at the University of Wisconsin.   'Our findings suggest that more attractive CEOs have higher compensation because they create more value for shareholders through better negotiating prowess and visibility.', they said.   When better-looking execs appear on TV, their stock gets an exaggerated bump.   Comely CEOs also snag better terms in mergers with other companies...   ''Mature-looking CEOs are presumed to be more competent, according to another study by John R. Graham, Campbell R. Harvey and Manju Puri...   According to Daniel Hamermesh, an economist who spent two decades researching the financial effects of being a hottie, the top third of attractive men earn 4% more than intellectually similar (but average-looking) men.   The ugliest guys make 13% less.   For the typical worker, that would add up to $230K 'beauty premium' over a career...   Cute students are rated as smarter than uglier students, older-looking people seem more mature, and taller people seem more authoritative...   Enrichetta Ravina found that pretty women, in particular, get cheaper loans, despite being more likely to default..."

American creativity
"Of course no one disputes the fact that America's past record of inventiveness has been extraordinary.   Probably close to one-third of all the major inventions of the last 100 years have been American.   The question is where this enormous burst of creativity came from.   Most Americans assume it sprang from a supposedly uniquely creative American culture [and economic system] -- a culture that is thus considered an inexhaustible source of economic out -- performance going forward.   The truth is more prosaic...   What really made the difference was that, thanks to factors that were to prove all too transitory, 20th-century Americans had greater opportunities for invention.   Because they were richer, far more of them studied advanced engineering and science [except that a lot of prolific American inventors and those with the most significant inventions had not studied 'advanced engineering and science'].   Moreover, taking the century as a whole, America's huge corporations greatly out-spent [and out-employed] foreign rivals in research and development.   The problem is that other nations are now not only catching up but in some cases drawing ahead [after the USA and UK and Europe have been transferring their tools and methodologies to other countries]...   The Japanese, for instance, developed such path-breaking innovations as the Mitsubishi Zero, which proved the most lethal fighter plane in the air in the early days of World War 2...   Just ask any of the thousands of brilliant Western European scientists and engineers who -- in a phenomenon known as the brain drain -- [immigrated to] the United States in the 1950s and the subsequent decades.   [Some were seeking freedom, others to retain it, and] they wanted to work with the most advanced equipment and the largest research budgets...   It is hardly news that the United States has been in relative economic decline since the 1960s...   In retrospect, we can see that America's era of greatest relative inventiveness was in the 1930s through the 1960s.   In the 1930s alone [during the Great Depression], American inventions included nylon, the helicopter, the electron microscope, the automated teller machine, and the plain paper copier.   Then in the 1940s came the bazooka, the atomic bomb, the microwave oven, and the transistor.   The 1950s brought the nuclear reactor, industrial diamonds, the computer [disk and drum drives, the laser], the integrated circuit, the video cassette recorder, and the communications satellite, followed in the 1960s by the computer mouse, and light-emitting diodes...   Of course, the United States continues to enjoy a surplus in patent royalties and other intellectual property payments.   But the flow is far thinner than Americans realize.   As of 2004, America's intellectual property surplus with the rest of the world came to a mere $29G -- a drop in the bucket compared to a current account deficit of $668G..."

"1.   Finding a job after college will be quick and easy.   No matter the state of the economy, don't expect the job offers to come rolling in...     2.   The Internet is the best place to look for a job...   Only about 15% to 20% of all job openings are ever publicly advertised in any medium, and only about 5% of job seekers end up getting jobs through ads, Hansen says...     3.   I'll make a fortune at my first job out of college...   The typical grad with a bachelor's degree and less than 5 years of experience makes $44,700...   The best college majors for your career include fields of study such as nursing (starting salary: $51,100), computer science ($58,400) and finance ($47,700).   Low-paying majors include art history ($36,400), social work ($33,100) and mass media ($34,400)...   A $40K annual salary is reduced by about one-quarter once federal, [Socialist Insecurity] and Medicare taxes are taken out.   That's not counting state taxes and any money you might have withheld from your paycheck for benefits.     4.   There's no room for negotiation with an entry-level salary...     5.   The person who gets hired is the one who can do the job best...   Not so, says Hansen.   More often than not, it comes down to interviewing skills and your rapport with your interviewers.   Your 'qualifications', education and experience will usually get you an interview, but then 'you need to prove why you are the best person to fill the job'...     6.   A well-designed resume will boost my chances of getting noticed...   many won't open resume attachments either out of laziness...     7.   What I think of an employer doesn't matter as much as what s/he thinks of me...     8.   If I plaster the web with my resume, I'll receive more interviews...     9.   If a company isn't currently hiring, I can't get an interview...     10.   If I don't know what I want to do after graduation, I should go to graduate school..."

law-suit against Oracle for discrimination
 
As many of you know, I have found that abuse of the H-1B visa and employer-sponsored green cards is rampant throughout the industry, including the "mainstream U.S. firms".   For that reason, I object to the notion that the abuse occurs primarily in the Indian out-sourcing firms, and thus have generally not covered news stories here that focus on those latter firms.   A case in point is the suit last year against Infosys.
 
Well, here is a suit against a "main-stream U.S. firm": 2014-01-13: Chris Kanaracus: "IT" World/IDG: Law-suit: Oracle Called $50K 'Good Money for an Indian'".
 
If the allegations are true, they certainly don't surprise me.   I've shown statistically that the big firms tend to under-pay their H-1Bs.   See
page 11 of my paper in _Migration Letters_ (pdf).
 
And of course I hear things about those firms (sometimes from managers themselves).   Once I was even approached to serve as an expert witness in a suit to be brought by an H-1B against Oracle, and the (Indian) plaintiff seemed to possibly have a plausible case, based on the little that was presented to me.   (I turned down the engagement, as I have been doing for several years now, due to lack of time.   As far as I know, the suit was never filed [but here's a new one].)

Tawney declares with some impatience: 'What historians need is not more documents but stronger boots.'   The implication, as another noted historian put it, is that 'history, when it is written from documents alone, is dead stuff and probably more false than true'.   Without the experiencing mind, the searcher after truth cannot bridge the gap between the lifed occurrence and the mute record." --- Jacques Barzun & Henry F.

"Stotsky has spoken and written extensively about Common Core math standards' inability to prepare students for STEM fields.   Earlier in the month, she penned an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal in which she quoted Jason Zimba, author of the math standards: Yet the basic mission of Common Core, as Jason Zimba, its leading mathematics standards writer, explained at a video-taped board meeting in 2010 March, is to provide students with enough mathematics to make them ready for a nonselective college -- 'not for STEM', as he put it.   During that meeting, he didn't tell us why Common Core aimed so low in mathematics.   But in a September 2013 article published in the Hechinger Report, an education news website affiliated with Columbia University's Teachers College, Mr. Zimba admitted: 'If you want to take calculus your freshman year in college, you will need to take more mathematics than is in the Common Core.'   Stotsky said that, while Zimba served as Common Core lead math standards writer, David Coleman, the so-called 'architect' of the Common Core, became the lead writer of the English Language Arts standards, along with Susan Pimentel.   Neither Coleman nor Pimentel had any experience teaching English, said Stotsky...   Historically, as EAG News reported, Zimba and Coleman were co-owners of a pilot program called Grow Network which was based in New York.   In 2001, Grow Network negotiated a contract with the Chicago Public Education Fund, created in 1998 by then-state senator Barack Obama and radical [leftist terrorist bomber] Bill Ayers on behalf of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS), which was headed at the time by current U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan..."

35K EE jobs were lost last year
CIO
"Despite an expanding use of electronics in products, the number of people working as electrical engineers in the U.S.A. declined by 10.4% last year.   The decline amounted to a loss of 35K jobs and increased the unemployment rate for electrical engineers from 3.4% in 2012 to 4.8% last year, an unusually high rate of job losses for this occupation.   There are 300K people working as electrical engineers, according to U.S. Labor Department data analyzed by the IEEE-USA.   In 2002, there were 385K electrical engineers in the U.S.A...   The number of employed software developers, the largest 'IT' occupation segment, increased by only 1.75%, to 1.1M, a gain of 19K.   The unemployment rate for developers last year was 2.7%, which is still elevated, according to Hira.   Jobs for computer systems analysts increased by 35K, to 534K, an increase of 7%, but Hira said it is the most common H-1B occupation and that nearly all those gains went to H-1B visa holders..."

"Mr. Dzubow made a suggestion with which I completely agree: We need accurate statistics about who is seeking asylum and why.   Asylum statistics, frankly like most immigration and naturalization statistics, are rudimentary at best and leave many open questions that deserve answers.   It is regrettable that the government does not apply to the immigration system, as a whole, the rigor with which it attends census matters.   Capturing data about each individual passing through that system, in sufficient detail to amalgamate intelligent and intelligible extracts, would I suspect lay to rest many contentious issues for which there is now only anecdotal information..."

"The most obvious and revealing thing about a movie review is most often the bias of the reviewer -- something all of us have and some reviewers have in spades.   I was thinking about that this morning while perusing the Oscar nominations for this year.   As an Academy member, I had voted but did not see my number one selection for Best Picture -- 'Lone Survivor' -- anywhere on the list of the 9 nominees.   I can't say I was surprised.   'Lone Survivor' is a patriotic film and patriotism isn't high on the list of [what those in] Hollywood [consider to be positive traits] these days, except perhaps to that group of once-secret outliers known as the Friends of Abe.   In fact, 'Lone Survivor', a big audience success, has raised the particular hackles of some of our more [leftist critics]..."

Proposed Bills 2014
 
 

  "Interest payments on the federal debt are the third largest item in the budget -- roughly $38G this year [1976] -- following defense spending and human resources payments.   As the debt grows larger ($623G is authorized for 1976) the interest payments grow along with it.   As interest rates rise, the amout the government has to pay in interest rises more rapidly than the total debt itself.   With big spenders in control of congress, there is no end in sight...   But what is the outcome of this scheme?   No [leftist] congress will ever choose to pay the bill from preceding years.   Each one will decide to borrow more from [tax-victims] farther in the future...   The record of 1975 is not surprising: The congress decided to authorize an increase in the 'debt ceiling' (above which the Treasury cannot [unilaterally] raise the public debt [by selling more bonds]) 3 times during the year (in February, June, and November).   At the beginning of 1975, the ceiling was [a vastly excessive] $495G; the latest increase, in November, raised the limit to $595G (see vote 7 table 1).   A few days earlier, the congress had refused a ceiling of $597G... their real sentiments on controlling thir spendign are shown by their decision to raise the ceiling... (see vote 8 in table 1) which declared that for the quarter beginning 1976 July 1st, a debt limit of $641G is 'appropriate'.   Ultimately, the dead weight of the federal [government] debt [and private debt] reduces the viability of the nation's economy and the standard of living of the American people.   Problems associates with large budgets and deficits are aggravated by inaccurate government accounting practices...   There are other debts (to be paid in future years) which the government incurs, but does not record." --- Marjorie S. Holt, William L. Armstrong, John H. Rousselot, Jack F. Kemp, William M. Ketchum, Robin L. Beard, William F. Goodling, Sam Steiger, Edward J. Derwinski, Philip M.

America is at war and he's America's commander in chief.   For the soldier being shot at in the field, it makes no difference under whose administration the fighting began.   In fact, three out of 4 Americans killed in Afghanistan have died under Barack Obama's command.   That's ownership enough.   Moreover, Gates's doubts about Obama had begun long before.   A year earlier, trying to understand how two senior officials could be openly working against expressed policy, Gates concluded that 'the most likely explanation was that the president himself did not really believe the strategy he had approved would work'.   This, just 4 months after Obama ordered his 30K troop 'surge' into Afghanistan..."

"Last year, the American Civil Liberties Union reported that more than 2K federal in-mates were serving life without parole for non-violent offenses.   How can a non-violent first-time offender be sentenced to life without parole?   Their biggest mistake, after their crimes, was not pleading guilty.   'Prosecutors give drug defendants a so-called choice.   In the most egregious cases, the choice can be to plead guilty to 10 years or risk life without parole by going to trial.', Human Rights Watch adviser Jamie Fellner says.   She has a term for it: 'the trial penalty', which can deliver longer time than drug dealing itself.   When a case goes to trial, the prosecutor gets to pick the sentence by choosing the amount of drugs for which a defendant is charged.   A federal judge had to sentence Aaron to life because he was convicted of conspiracy to traffic 23 kilograms of crack and powder cocaine.   The crazy part is that prosecutors got to 23 kilograms by charging Aaron for a 9-kilogram deal that did happen and a 15-kilogram deal that did not..."

GOP losership set to join Obummer to destroy the USA through reprehensible immigration law perversion
"a recent Quinnipiac University poll that shows voters trending against candidates who back amnesty by 9 points overall and by a whopping 39 points among Republican voters, they see that amnesty is deeply unpopular among Republican primary voters.   This, by the way, is a shift of 14 points or 50 percent from the results of the same poll conducted in May of 2013.   In May of 2013 24% of voters said they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who supported amnesty, now the number is 38%...   The Chamber's $50M budget to steam-roll politicians who try to stand in their way could be matched or exceeded by Mark Zuckerberg.   Last Fall, the FB founder announced plans to spend $50M (his own and other tech titans') to get an immigration bill through the House.   Other billionaires, including George Soros, Rupert Murdoch and Michael Bloomberg, also stand ready to open their wallets..."

  "'Unique' used to mean one of a kind.   'Unique' was special.   The researchers used a data-base to examine every newspaper article in each of the top 50 newspapers in the United States over a 20-year period.   During this time, the percentage of articles in which something was described as 'unique' increased by 73%.   So either there's a lot more unique stuff in the world today or the 'uniqueness bar' has been lowered [just like the 'best and brightest" bar, the 'highy-skilled' bar, etc.]...   But at the sam time that the word 'unique' was rising in popularity, the word 'unusual' was falling.   In 1985, articles were more than twice as likely to use the word 'unusual' as the word 'unique'.   By 2005, the 2 words were about equally likely to be used.   Unique things should be a subset of unusual things...   So if there really were more unique things today, we should see more 'unusual' things as well...   What we used to call 'unusual' we now stretch and call 'unique'." --- Chip Heath & Dan Heath 2007, 2008 _Made to Stick_ pg173

5 reasons why your "IT" job search is getting more difficult
15K EEs were unemployed in 2013, but the numbers employed dropped by 35K.   Bodyshopping continues to increase and is at its highest since 1998.   All hiring has slowed.   Salaries have not been keeping up with inflation.   Requirements lists in job ads continue to lengthen and spread to include non-computing areas.   Some firms froze hiring hoping to get more cheap, young, pliant, low-skilled foreign labor with flexible ethics via an expansion of H-1B and L-1 guest-work visas and green cards.   The president of Cognizant -- a dual USA- and India-based cross-border bodyshopping and off-shoring operation -- said they will add 10K US workers (i.e. citizens plus green card holders) over the next 3 years.   Few cross-border bodyshops report the numbers of US citizens in their stables...     My paraphrase and clarification...jgo

home-work doesn't always help academic learning
"It's a switch that seeks to move away from rewarding students merely for completing work, and instead bases grades on mastery of a subject. Swept away are points for finished homework assignments, or good behavior and class participation. Instead, grades are more heavily based on exam results and the quality of work. 'There are kids that are good at playing the game of school.', said Julie Williams, principal of Lincoln Elementary, which began to overhaul grading along with other St. Charles elementary schools in 2008. 'If you don't ever do well on tests, but you raise your hand every time, those kids can score well in the traditional system. But when they are tested on a state tests, it exposes the weaknesses.'... Who doesn't think grades should be based on what kids are actually learning?... There are no zeros. Moreover, students can redo assignments multiple times and even retake tests..."

"Words seem to carry far more weight than facts among those liberals who argue as if rent control laws actually control rents and gun control laws actually control guns.   It does no good to point out to them that the two American cities where rent control laws have existed longest and strongest -- New York and San Francisco -- are also the two cities with the highest average rents.   Nor does it make a dent on them when you point out evidence, from both sides of the Atlantic, that tightening gun control laws does not reduce gun crimes, including murder.   It is not uncommon for gun crimes to rise when gun control laws are tightened.   Apparently armed criminals prefer unarmed victims.   Minimum wage laws are another issue where the words seem to carry great weight, leading to the fact-free assumption that such laws will cause wages to rise to the legally specified minimum.   Various studies going back for decades indicate that minimum wage laws create unemployment, especially among the younger, less experienced and less skilled workers.   When you are unemployed, your wages are zero, regardless of what the minimum wage law specifies..."

leftists are for which people?
"years of research in that field repeatedly brought out the inescapable fact that many leading thinkers on the left had only contempt for 'the people'.   That has been true from the 18th century to the present moment.   Even more surprising, I discovered over the years that leading thinkers on the opposite side of the ideological spectrum had more respect for ordinary people than people on the left who spoke in their name.   Leftists like Rousseau, Condorcet or William Godwin in the 18th century, Karl Marx in the 19th century or Fabian socialists like George Bernard Shaw in England and American Progressives in the 20th century saw the people in a role much like that of sheep, and saw themselves as their shepherds..."

Ill-Begotten Monstrosities to continue dumping employees, moving jobs
"The bad news is that things are going to get worse before they get better, with an anticipated $1G work-force action expected in IBM's historically weak first quarter.   A similar $1G effort in the second quarter of 2013 eliminated 6,500 to 8K positions across IBM's massive global work-force of more than 430K employees...   IBM is counting on its Software and Global Business Services [cross-border bodyshopping] units for growth in 2014.   The highly profitable (88% margin) Software unit saw revenue increase 2% year over year to $25.9G in 2013.   Analytics, mobile, big data [privacy violation], and security-related software led growth, according to Schroeter.   Global Business Services revenue was down 1% in 2013, but the business turned up in the second half of the year and had a healthy back-log of systems integration business going into 2014..."

leftist+libertarian bipartisan effort to allow recall elections in Ohio
"Clermont county representative John Becker, R-Union township, and representative Robert Hagan, D-Youngstown, want to put on the ballot the question of recall elections...   Under the law-makers' proposal, voters would be able to call for a recall election after officials have served at least a fourth of their terms.   To start the recall process, voters from a town or county -- or from the whole state -- would need to gather enough signatures to equal 15% of the votes cast from that area in the last presidential or gubernatorial election [which is a huge threshold which would require a lot of people and money to reach].   Putting a new candidate on the ballot would then take the number of signatures required by law for independent candidates -- for instance, 5K signatures for a gubernatorial candidate...   House speaker Bill Batchelder, R-Medina, has not supported past efforts to put recall elections into Ohio's constitution."

"The new detail raises the question of why the State Department, headed at the time by Hillary Clinton, would continue to employ the 17th of February Martyrs Brigade, an al-Qaida-linked organization, to provide external security to the U.S. facility.   The 88-page senate report, reviewed in full by WND, states the U.S. Benghazi mission 'had been vandalized and attacked in the months prior to the September 11-12 attacks by some of the same guards who were there to protect it'...   The 17th of February Brigade operates under the Ansar-Al-Sharia banner.   Ansar al-Sharia, tied to al-Qaida, has been implicated in carrying out the attack..."

"What the war on poverty was intended to end was mass dependency on government.   President Kennedy said, 'We must find ways of returning far more of our dependent people to independence.'   The same theme was repeated endlessly by president Johnson.   The purpose of the 'war on poverty', he said, was to make 'tax-payers out of tax-eaters'.   Its slogan was, 'Give a hand up, not a handout.'   When Lyndon Johnson signed the landmark legislation into law, he declared: 'The days of the dole in our country are numbered.'   Now, 50 years and trillions of dollars later, it is painfully clear that there is more dependency than ever..."

tackling human trafficking at the Super Bowl
Town Hall
"Dallas police and federal authorities arrested 133 minors for prostitution during the 2011 Super Bowl, and according to Forbes Magazine 10K prostitutes were transported to Miami for the Super Bowl in 2010.   A United States Department of Justice investigation from 2008 January to 2010 June discovered that 40% of human trafficking incidents involve child prostitution or the sexual exploitation of a child.   UNICEF estimates there are nearly 2M children in the commercial sex trade, and major sporting events have become a nexus for sexual predators and a haven for sex trafficking.   January is 'National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month', and according to the U.S. State Department, social scientists estimate there are 27M victims of human trafficking in the world today...   The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that 17,500 people are trafficked INTO the United States each year.   A total of 300K children in this country are at risk of being trafficked sexually right now...   With just one phone call to the human trafficking hotline at 1-866-347-2423 (toll free), each of us could help save a human life and bring us that much closer to a victory over human trafficking."

the real Obummer economy (part 1)
"Our friends over at NewsMax turned us on to a commentary to clients by David John Marotta, president of Marotta Wealth Management in Charlottesville, VA and colleague Megan Russell that documents the true unemployment rate standing at a whopping 37.2%, rather than the 6.7% calculated by the government for December...   Obama inherited a misery index of 7.83, which Democrats claimed was the worst economy in 30 years.   Obama's misery index now stands at 8.20 and has averaged 10.26 over the course of his presidency...   In their analysis the United States economy needs to add a minimum of 127K jobs per month just to account for our annual population increase [down from the 150K that was believed to be required in the late 1990s through 2010]...   Now they use a 'hedonic deprecator'.   If the quality of a commodity increases more than its price, the quality increase is counted as deflation.   [But how do they count the falling quality with rising prices we've been seeing for the last several decades?]   And because consumers use 'creative substitution', switching from an expensive good to a similar but cheaper good [of lower quality], the government argues that only a portion of price increases should be counted as inflation.   These tricks, along with a host of other dubious accounting schemes, under-report inflation by about 3%.   Today, inflation is officially 1.24%.   According to John Williams' Shadow Stats, which computes the old way, it is closer to 4.5%.   Think of that 4.5% of actual inflation as a tax on anyone who is storing their money in dollars say Marotta and Russell.   And since 1997 that 3% annual under-reporting has had the effect of cutting [Socialist Insecurity] benefits by a cumulative 40%.   Today, the misery index would be 7.54 using official numbers.   Using Heidi Shierholz's measurement including discouraged workers (10.2%) referenced above and the historical method of calculating inflation (4.5%), the current misery index is closer to 14.7, worse even than during the Ford administration conclude Marotta and Russell..."

US income mobility hasn't changed much in recent decades
"The study found, for example, that a child born in 1971 to households in the bottom fifth [the bottom quintile or bottom 20%] of income distribution had an 8.4% chance of reaching the top fifth of earners. That compared to a probability of 9% for those born in 1986. Similarly, the study said: 'Children born to the highest-income families in 1984 were 74.5 percentage points more likely to attend college than those from the lowest-income families. The corresponding gap for children born in 1993 is 69.2 percentage points, suggesting that if anything mobility may have increased slightly in recent cohorts.'   The researchers also looked at geographical differences in mobility rates. They found children in some places had a much higher chance of moving up the income ladder -- as high as 12.9% for Salt Lake City and San Jose -- than their peers in such cities as Charlotte and Indianapolis, where the probability of climbing from the bottom fifth to the top fifth was as low as 4.4%."

GE lamp plant in Warren OH shut down
"the building, at the corner of North Park and Dana streets, was built in 1890 by William D. Packard and James W. Packard, who started Packard Electric in 1890 and built the first Packard automobile in 1899 at that location.   Packard Electric started out manufacturing incandescent light bulbs.   By 1899, it also had built the first Packard automobiles 'in a corner' of the Packard Electric light-bulb building at the site of the current Ohio Lamp Plant, said Charles Ohlin of the National Packard Museum of Warren...   The brothers sold their Packard Motor Car Company in 1902 and began Packard Electric's focus on the wiring business, selling it to National Electric Lamp in 1902, according to a Packard Electric history published by the company in 1990.   GE purchased the light-bulb business from National Electric in about 1916.   Meanwhile, Packard Electric's wiring business grew dramatically on Dana and Griswold streets, where it established its world head-quarters, then expanded along North River Road in Howland and Bazetta townships until it employed 11K people by 1974.   A 1898 newspaper article says the Packard brothers' light-bulb company, called the New York and Ohio Company, was the first light-bulb businesses in the United States and the second-largest one in the country at the time.   Warren had the distinction of being the first town in America to light its streets with incandescent light bulbs in 1911, because of the Packard brothers, the National Packard Museum says..."

"These fat cats do not represent the best interests of American entrepreneurs, American workers, American parents and students, or Americans of any race, class or age who believe in low taxes and limited government.   The chamber's business is the big business of the Beltway, not the business of main-stream America...   Last year, the chamber poured more than $52M into K Street lobbying efforts on behalf of illegal alien amnesty, Fed Ed [Communist Corpse] programs and increased federal spending.   This year, chamber bigwigs are paving the perilous pathway to GOP capitulation.   The left hardly needs to lift a finger against tea party candidates and activists who are bravely challenging the big government status quo.   The chamber has already volunteered to spend $50M subsidizing the Republican incumbency protection racket and attacking anti-establishment conservatives..."

  "Around 90% of [Japan's] population had graduated from high school in the mid-1970s, compared with just 32% in England.   Japan was also a much more equal society than any in the West, with the sole excpetion of Sweden.   And Japan had the largest state pension fund in the world, so that every Japanese who retired could count on a generous bonus as well as a regular income throughout his (generally rather numerous) years of well-earned rest.   The welfare super-power was also a miracle of parsimony.   In 1975 just 9% of national income went to [socialist insecurity], compared with 31% in Sweden.   The burden of tax and [illfare] was roughly half that in England." --- Niall Ferguson 2008, 2009 _The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World_ pg210

  "Together, the [United States of America], Canada, and the United Kingdom annually throw about 170K new titles in English into the sea of printed literature...   The principal book-producing countries publish around 600K titles each year, Germany providing more than a tenth of them.   With new titles expected by the year 2000 to roll off the presses at the rate of 100K a year in the [United States of America] alone, and each year's harvest taking up about 8 miles of shelves, no library-building program will be adequate to the need and no present system of retrieval will be either adequate or affordable.   The cost of merely buyng, cataloguing, and storing books is now above $80 apiece." --- Jacques Barzun & Henry F. Graff 1957, 1970, 1992 _The Modern Researcher_ pp52-53

"For those who are interested: To convert the absolute surface temperatures shown in Figure 2-1 into the anomalies presented in Figure 2-4, you must first choose a reference period.   The reference period is often referred to as the 'base years'.   I use the base years of 1950 to 2010 for this example..."

  "In recent years, the US National Academy of Engineering has elected about 65 new members annually, and in a typical class approximately 1 in 4 does not have a single engineering degree.   These members received their under-graduate and graduate education in such fields as chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer science, but they have accomplished outstanding achievements in engineering.   They have, in many cases, worked in industry, making significant contributions to manufacturing and communications.   (It goes without saying, that a degree in science is not a pre-requisite to becoming a member of the National Academy of Sciences.)...   Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple and a member of the National Academy of Engineering, has been referred to as 'one of Silicon Valley's most creative engineers'." --- Henry Petroski 2010 _The Essential Engineer: Why Science Alone Will Not Solve Our Global Problems_ pg62 (citing Albert Love & James Saxon Childers 1965 _Listen to Leaders in Engineering_ pg39; National Academy of Engineering 2006 _Directory of Members and Foreign Associates_ pp320-321; Ashlee Vance 2009-02-04 "Wozniak Accepts Post at a Storage Start-Up" _NYTimes_ pgB3)

bored congress-critters can create more trouble than sailors on leave (another great movie poster)
"The 113th Congress was publicly chided by Washington's chiding classes for not getting much done last year -- that is, for not passing very many laws.   Indeed, 2013 was the 'least productive' Congress in 66 years.   Isn't it nice to read some good news for a change?..."

left GOP losership striving to divide the conservative coalition
"House Republican [losers] including Speaker John Boehner, majority-leader Eric Cantor, Republican whip Kevin McCarthy, and Budget committee chairman Paul Ryan are preparing to unveil a major package of immigration bills this week that is backed by the US Chamber of [Crony Socialists] and the cheap labor wing of the business community.   We can pretty well tell that this is going to be a cave-in just by looking at the way it is being sold; 'immigration reform', not border security..."

crowded field
"Republicans expect a large field to take shape, rounded out by a cast of familiar names to the district.   Among them, former representative Connie Mack is interested, as is Chauncey Goss, son of former House member and CIA director Porter Goss.   Former state representative Paige Kreegel, who has a deep-pocketed super-PAC already boosting him in the race, had already announced his intentions to run...   Many Republicans say state senator Lizbeth Benacquisto would also be a formidable contender, as a young, female candidate and proven fund-raiser.   She's been using money from her state Senate campaign coffers to air ads in the area to boost her profile, which has drawn attacks from the super-PAC backing Kreegel...   Naples vice-mayor Gary Price, who has long been considering the race..."

Christians fight back in Syria
"'They said they'd chop our heads off if we stayed.   They said we were supporting the regime and they burnt one of my cousins.', MJ, a local Arab man, says of the oppression of rebel groups with ties to Al Qaeda.   But now the Kurds have taken this region, which is split between Christians, Muslims and Kurds.   For the Christians, the most vulnerable group, it is a god-send.   Elsewhere in the country an estimated 450K have been displaced.   'The extremists said the Christians and the Kurds were infidels and had to be killed!', M, an elderly Christian, explains as he reveals the devastation wrought on an Orthodox church.   This fanaticism is why so many Christians oppose the revolution, fearing it is controlled by radical and foreign interests.   Now under Kurdish leadership, a fragile but tolerant haven has opened up here.   F, a young Christian, has thrown his lot in with the Kurdish police, because they offer a freedom that no one else can.   'I have come to work with them because they are working to secure my life-style.   I just want to have freedom.'"

hunter-gatherer European had blue eyes and dark skin
"The lead author, Dr Carles Lalueza-Fox, said: 'One explanation is that the lighter skin colour evolved much later than was previously assumed.'...   The early European would have subsisted on a diet of mainly protein, and his DNA reveals that he was lactose-intolerant and unable to digest starch.   The ability to ingest dairy projects and starchy foods came after agriculture was adopted and people changed what they ate..."

"1764-01-27: "Our worst fears had been realized; these Indians who had been housed and fed as the pets of the province were now proved to be our secret foes...   Two of the Indians killed in Lancaster were recognized as murderers."...   The reverend mister [John Elder] mentioned in the preceding statement was a Presbyterian minister and held the commission of a colonel.   In a letter on this subject addressed by him to governor John Penn, dated 1764-01-27...   "The storm which has been so long gathering, has, at length, exploded.   Had Government removed the Indians, which had been frequently, but without effect, urged, this painful catastrophe might have been avoided.   What could I do with men heated to madness?   All that I could do was done.   I expostulated; but life and reason were set at defiance.   Yet the men in private life are virtuous and respectable; not cruel, but mild and merciful.   The time will arive when each palliating circumstance will be weighed.   This deed, magnified into the blackest of crimes, shall be considered as one of those ebullitions of wrath, caused by momentary excitement, to which human infirmity is subjected...   The bodies were collected and buried in one grave at the corner of Chestnut & Duke streets in Lancaster.   Peter Maurer told I. Daniel Rupp that he saw them buried in the same place where workmen, engaged in making excavations for the railroad, dug them up in 1833 May" (Rupp's _History of Lancaster county_ pg 360; quoted in Jacob Isidor Mombert 1869-05-27 _An Authentic History of Lancaster County, in the State of Pennsylvania_ pp188,395; 207,416 in pdf) (Joseph Shippen ii was the equivalent of secretary of state at the time.)

  "Within the congress...there develops what John Randolph [Thomas Jefferson's and John Marshall's cousin] called the legislative itch.   On the body politic a rash is seen; it must be scratched.   Statutes tumble upon statutes...and these laws must be administered...interpreted, construed, amplified, extended and enforced.   Enter the regulator.   He is a decent man but his passion is to regulate.   It becomes a consuming passion." --- James J. Kilpatrick (quoted in Marjorie S. Holt, William L. Armstrong, John H. Rousselot, Jack F. Kemp, William M. Ketchum, Robin L. Beard, William F. Goodling, Sam Steiger, Edward J. Derwinski, Philip M.

what pre-occupies the left? what pre-occupies the right?
Town Hall
"North Korea continues to be an affront to the human species.   That North Korea, whether or not it had nuclear weapons, is not a central concern is an indictment of humanity.   That the West, with the noble exception of Canada under Stephen Harper, is appeasing the dictators of Iran, is an indictment of the West.   Add to this list the UN's and the world's ignoring of the [Red Chinese] government's continuing suppression of all dissent and its decades-long violent eradication of Tibet's unique and ancient culture.   Then add the slaughter of millions in Congo over the last decade, the 100K-plus killed in Syria just last year, most of them civilians killed by their own government, and the blowing up, burning alive, and throat-cutting of untold numbers of innocent people by violent Islamists on a daily basis.   In other words, if what bothers you most is evil -- the deliberate infliction of cruelty on people by people -- North Korea, Congo, China, Syria and radical Islam will bother you more than anything else on the world scene.   So, then, what was the subject of the meeting convened Friday by the United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights?..."

SOTU: the economy is weak
"The national debt, at $17.27T as of January 22, has increased by a jaw-dropping $6.6T since he was first inaugurated.   That this year's deficit will be less than half of the official $1.4T recorded in fiscal 2009 means, in his mind, that we can ramp up spending again...   The above National Association of Counties map shows us that 15 states have seen fewer than 20% of their counties achieve employment recovery, and that four of those have failed to get to even 10%.   Given this situation, it shouldn't surprise anyone that the former Census Bureau employees who now run Sentier Research reported last week that real median household income hasn't budged in 2 years, and is stuck at over 7% below its early 2008 peak.   The situation would be even worse but for the fact that many states have improved their economies by doing the opposite of what the Obama administration has been doing and advocating.   One example: States which have been right to work during all of the past 7 years are far closer to recovering the jobs lost since peak employment (within 0.78%) than non-right to work states (1.71% shy).   Indeed, 650K more Americans would have jobs today if the rest of the nation had matched the performance of the right to work states...   No one has to recite any of the statistics noted above to the U.S. Chamber of [Crony Socialists] and its friends in Washington.   They know, and they obviously don't care.   If they did, they wouldn't be pushing mightily to make 2014 their make-or-break year to pass economically ruinous illegal-immigrant amnesty.   But to their eternal shame, they are..."

Obummer regime/Eric Holder put Muslims above suspicion for terror
"No more instruction about jihad, and Islam is to be considered a 'race'.   From 2008 to 2011, I was a guest lecturer at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (the primary DHS training facility, located in coastal Georgia) and at Joint Special Operations University (which brings foreign officers to learn of U.S. irregular warfare, located in Tampa).   At both venues I was asked to lecture on the history of terrorism.   I did so in an even-handed and comprehensive manner, exploring the issue across place (Europe to East Asia), time (ancient Assyria to al-Qaeda), and ideology (religious: pagan, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, and Muslim; and political: right-wing, left-wing, anarchist, environmentalist, etc.).   Only 14 of the 44 PowerPoint screens in my presentation dealt with Islamic terrorism, although several of those actually mitigated against the concept.   Nonetheless, in 2009 June I was told that I could no longer lecture at FLETC, because the edict had come down from the new [Obummer regime] that 'no trainer who uses the term jihad shall henceforth be used'.   (This was over 2 years before the [Obummer regime] was openly hostile to realistic training about Islam.)..."

re-state of the union
"This is what the president should have said: 'I cannot imagine what I was thinking when I pushed [ObummerDoesn'tCare].   I now see it is folly to entrust government, which cannot balance its books and routinely loses track of billions of dollars, with even greater power over health care.   If something as simple as a web-site is too much for government to get right, imagine what government will do to complicated medical pricing and insurance plans.   Foolishly, my plan destroyed many sensible insurance plans -- some offering catastrophic-only coverage for a lower price -- exactly the insurance so many people need.   I see my fellow Democrat, representative Jim Moran of Virginia, seated nearby.   I take to heart his comments, which he can safely make now that he's retiring from Congress, about how Obamacare is economically doomed, with few young people signing up but sick old people taking money out.   The math doesn't add up.   Now that I think about it, it would be better to end government involvement in health care altogether and let people shop around for the best free-market plans, including catastrophe-only plans, depending on individual needs.   Let's try that...'"

standing up against wealth-shaming
"The problem is wealth-shaming.   Class-shaming.   Success-shaming...   The letter-writer is Tom Perkins, a Silicon Valley pioneer with an MIT degree in electrical engineering and computer science and a Harvard MBA.   He started out at the bottom at Hewlett-Packard, founded his own separate laser company on the side and then teamed up with fellow entrepreneur Eugene Kleiner to establish one of the nation's oldest and most important venture capital firms, Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers.   A hands-on dynamo, Perkins immersed himself in the science and technology of the companies in his portfolio.   He even accompanied them on sales calls.   He poured his heart and soul into the business of business.   Perkins achieved great wealth for himself, his partners and his clients -- and the world is a better place for it.   Kleiner Perkins' ground-breaking investment in Genentech planted the seeds of the biotech revolution.   An MIT profile notes that in its first three decades, the firm 'made more than 475 investments, generating $90G in revenue and creating 275K jobs' and 'funded 167 companies that later went public, including Amazon, AOL, Genentech, Google and Netscape'.   [Well, everyone makes mistakes...jgo]..."

Obummer speech brought villains of Ayn Rand's _Atlas Shrugge_ to live
"President [Obummer's] State of the Union address skillfully glossed over just what a sorry state the Union is in these days.   Obama’s address, full of deceit and the obfuscation of any facts at odds with his hard-left secular agenda, stands out in its repetition of the threat to act without Congress as perhaps the most anti-democratic public statement by an American president since Democrat Franklin Delano Roosevelt announced his plan to pack the Supreme Court when its existing 9 Justices blocked major parts of his early New Deal program...   As I listened to [pres. Obummer's] repeated statements that government was going to somehow fix what Obama calls 'income inequality' it brought to mind several of the more depressing chapters of Any Rand's novel _Atlas Shrugged_, which you recall envisioned a dystopian world in which government looters stripped society's producers, thinkers and creators of the fruits of their labor in the name of equalizing society.   The looting of the fruit of their labor provoked the producers to withdraw from society.   Without producers, thinkers and creators there was an economic implosion and society rapidly declined and fell into chaos...   Every time Obama mentioned government enforced income equality or government-led opportunity I fully expected the camera to pan to one of the villains of _Atlas Shrugged_, such as lobbyist/politician Wesley Mouch..."

why are the GOP losership hell-bent on destroying their party with amnesty for illegal aliens?
Jason Howerton: Blaze
Many amnesties and other relaxations of standards when it comes to getting visas have been enacted since 1986:
 
* IRCA1986 - Immigration Reform & Control Act; Simpson-Mazzoli; PL99-603; 100 Stat. 3359, 3474-3480; signed 1986-11-06; effective 1986-11-07 created the Visa Waiver Program, VWP; 8 USC 1187 section 217(c)); created 5K visa "diversity" lottery; 3M illegal aliens applied for amnesty and by 1993 October 88% of those (about 2.4M were granted green cards). It also, nominally, made employing illegal aliens illegal.
 
* In 1994 Section 245(i) Amnesty was added: A temporary rolling amnesty for 578K illegal aliens.
 
* In 1996 welfare reform law PL104-193 made most newly entering Legal Permanent Residents (green card holders) ineligible for federal public benefits for 5 years; after 5 years, it allowed states to continue barring LPRs from federal public benefits, including Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP); but non-citizens, regardless of status, who otherwise meet the eligibility requirements for Medicaid, are eligible for emergency Medicaid.
 
* IIRIRA1996 - Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996; PL104-208; 8 USC 1623; "Those who are unlawfully present for more than 180 days but less than one year and who voluntarily depart the country are ineligible for admission or re-entry to the United States for 3 years.   An alien unlawfully present for one year or more who leaves or is removed from the United States is inadmissible for 10 years.   These provisions are generally referred to as the 3- and 10-year bars."   Authorized reimbursement of public hospitals and certain non-profit hospitals for emergency medical assistance to illegal aliens, and reimbursement of state and local governments for emergency ambulance services provided aliens injured while crossing USA borders while in custody.   Division C made illegal aliens ineligible for post-secondary education benefits based on state residence unless equal benefits were made available to all USA citizens regardless of state of residence.
 
* In 1997 Section 245(i) Extension Amnesty: An extension of the rolling amnesty created in 1994.
 
* NACARA1997 - Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act of 1997, an amnesty for close to 1M illegal aliens from Central America.

* ACWIA1998 - American Competitiveness and Work-Force Improvement Act of 1998; signed 1998-10-21; PL105-277 divisionC title4 sections411-418; 112 Stat. 2681-641 through 2681-657; Section 416(c)(2) requires USCIS to annually collect and present to the US Congress information on the countries of origin, occupations, educational attainment, and compensation paid to aliens whose employers successfully petition for their H-1B status.   Temporarily increased H-1B to 115K per year for FY1999 and FY2000, 107,500 for FY2001.
 
* IPPCTP1998 - Irish Peace Process Cultural and Training Program Act of 1998 (PL108-449; 118 Stat. 3470).
 
* In 1998, investors and the public began to be aware that many e-commerce operations had little of substance to them and a wash-out slowly began to build, with accompanying job losses.
 
* In 2000 Late Amnesty: An amnesty for some illegal aliens who claim they should have been amnestied under the 1986 IRCA amnesty, an estimated 400K illegal aliens.
 
* 2000 LIFE Act Amnesty: A reinstatement of the rolling Section 245(i) amnesty, an estimated 900K illegal aliens.
 
* AC21 - American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act of 2000; Hatch-Abraham-Gramm; PL106-313 sections102 and 103; 114 Stat 1251-1252; enacted 2000-10-03; signed by Bill Clinton 2000-10-17 [7 months and 3 days after the stock-market crash]; granted government functionaries amnesty for over-shooting the H-1B limit by 22,500 in FY1999 and about 30K in FY2000.   Temporarily increased H-1B numbers to 195K for FY2001 through FY2003.   Exempted all individuals being hired by institutions of higher education, as well as non-profit and government-research organizations, from the cap.   AC21, § 105, 114 Stat. 1253 permitted portability, i.e. employer/sponsor change.

* In 2002: Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002; PL107-173; authorized creation of US-VISIT system, but development has been slow and reluctantly adopted.

  "The result was 'staglfation': stagnant [econony with little or no growth] plus high inflation.   Similar problems were afflicting the USA economy, where expenditure on health, Medicare, income security and [socialist insecurity] had risen from 4% of GDP in 1959 to 9% of GDP in 1975, out-stripping defence spending for the first time.   In America, too, productivity was scarcely growing and stagflation was rampant." --- Niall Ferguson 2008, 2009 _The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World_ pg212

GOP losership's suicide strategy
Washington DC Times
"Mr. Sessions smells betrayal of American workers.   Over the past decade, he observes, more immigrants, legal and illegal, have arrived in America than in any previous decade in the nation's history.   This coincides 'with wage stagnation, enormous growth in welfare programs and a shrinking work force participation rate.   A sensible, conservative approach would focus on lifting those living here today, both immigrant and native born, out of poverty and into the middle class -- before doubling or tripling the level of immigration into the United States.'..."

how the GOP losership lost Middle America
Cybercast News Service
"The Fortune 500 wanted to close factories in the USA and ship production abroad -- where unions did not exist, regulations were light, taxes were low, and wages were a fraction of what they were here in America.   Corporate America [the executives, that is] was going global and wanted to be rid of its American work force, the best paid on earth, and replace it with cheap foreign labor.   While manufacturing sought to move production abroad, hotels, motels, bars, restaurants, farms and construction companies that could not move abroad also wanted to replace their expensive American workers.   Thanks to the Republican [losership], Corporate America got it all.   U.S. factories in the scores of thousands were shut down, shedding their American workers.   Foreign-made goods poured in, filling U.S. stores [with low-quality, over-priced trash] and killing the manufacturers who had stayed behind, loyal to their U.S. workers...   As those hotels, motels, restaurants, bars, fast-food shops, car washes, groceries and other service industries also relished the rewards of cheap foreign labor, they got government assistance in replacing their American workers [via guest-work visas like the H-1B, H-2B, L-1...]."

  "our nation's work-force is good and constantly improving.   Figures compiled by the National Safety Council show that accidental 'on the job' deaths per 100K population went from 21 in 1912 to 7 in 1971.   By 1971 the work force had doubled and the production level was 7 times [what it was] in 1912.   Supporters of the original [OSHA] legislation believed that if the federal government were to [unconstitutionally] take over the entire effort to ensure worker health and safety, the result would somehow be better than if these programs were left to state and local governments or to private enterprise.   But what was not considered was the obvious fact that business has a very practical economic stake in promoting the health and safety of its workers; accidents and lost time [and capital equipment] are costly to business." --- Marjorie S. Holt, William L. Armstrong, John H. Rousselot, Jack F. Kemp, William M. Ketchum, Robin L. Beard, William F. Goodling, Sam Steiger, Edward J. Derwinski, Philip M.
