FACT CHECK: Gingrich energy ad errs on facts

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A 28-minute political ad offers a candidate something sound bites can never capture - a chance to explore a subject in depth.

But in the case of Newt Gingrich's unusual extended commercial on American energy policy, it just means more time for mistakes.

In the ad, Gingrich offers a pain-free prescription for cheap energy that betrays a misunderstanding of how oil markets work, blames President Barack Obama for suppressing development that is actually on the rise, criticizes a dependence on Iranian oil that doesn't exist and misstates the facts behind the deaths of migratory birds in oil waste pits in North Dakota.

He also pledges to make the country more energy independent, but calls for scrapping fuel economy standards - one of the best ways to curb the U.S. appetite for oil and decrease foreign imports.

Here are some of Gingrich's claims and how they compare with the facts:

----

GINGRICH: "Finally, what if that big new idea meant that you personally were better off because you are buying gasoline for $2.50 a gallon, not for $3.89 or $4, or what some people project by the summer could be $5 or more?"

THE FACTS: Presidents often get blamed for rising gasoline prices but can't do much about them because the price is set by global markets.

Gas prices follow oil prices, and oil prices have been rising. The price of the foreign oil that's imported by most U.S. refineries and turned into gasoline and other fuels has risen 11 percent so far this year, to about $119 a barrel, because of tensions with Iran, a cold snap in Europe and rising demand from developing nations. Oil produced in the U.S. and used by refineries in the middle of the country to produce gasoline is up 4 percent to about $103 a barrel, 19 percent higher than a year earlier. No presidential "big idea" can reverse those forces.

----

GINGRICH: "Under President Obama, because he is so anti-American energy, we actually had a 40 percent reduction in the development of oil offshore, and we have had a 40 percent reduction in the development of oil on federal lands."

THE FACTS: Gingrich bases this statement on a figure published by the Energy Information Administration that has since been retracted because it was incorrect. The figure left out an entire subset of production. In addition, the erroneous number represented both oil and gas production on public lands, while Gingrich cites only oil.

For offshore, the energy information agency data show production has surged in the first two years of the Obama administration after being on a downward trend since 2003. In 2008, prior to Obama taking office, Gulf oil production hits its lowest level in a decade.

A recent report from the agency predicts that in the short term, oil production in the Gulf of Mexico, where Obama placed a moratorium on new deep-water exploratory drilling after the massive BP oil spill, will show an overall decline for this year before rebounding.

----

GINGRICH: "In North Dakota, where the developments are on private land so the liberals have not been able to stop them, the Obama U.S. attorney for North Dakota filed a lawsuit because eight migratory birds had been found dead near oil fields."

THE FACTS: In August 2011, U.S. Attorney Timothy Q. Purdon - an Obama appointee and top Democratic activist - charged seven oil companies with killing 28 migratory birds in violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Some of the birds were not found "near oil fields" as Gingrich claims, but were discovered drenched in oil in waste pits, which birds and waterfowl land in after mistaking them for ponds. In North Dakota, such waste pits have multiplied in the state's drilling boom.

Prosecutors have dismissed charges against one company, and a federal judge in September dismissed charges and rejected plea agreements for the other six firms. The U.S. attorney plans an appeal.

All seven companies had previously been fined for violating the same law, and some of those enforcement cases had been filed under previous administrations. Bird deaths from oil pits can be avoided by simply covering the open tanks with netting, federal inspectors say.

The Justice Department has also brought criminal proceedings against oil companies for breaking the law prior to Obama's tenure.

----

GINGRICH: "It comes down to a simple idea: What if we had a program that enabled the American people to develop so much new energy that we were, in fact, no longer reliant on Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran."

THE FACTS: The U.S. doesn't import any oil from Iran. Together, Saudi Arabia and Iraq accounted for about 13 percent of all U.S. imports in 2010, according to the EIA. To replace what the U.S. is importing from those two countries with drilling alone would require domestic oil production to grow by 25 percent. The EIA predicts domestic production will peak in 2020, but even that won't be enough to cover what is imported today from those two countries. Eliminating dependence on imports would require both more domestic production and reduced demand. U.S. oil imports dropped below 50 percent in 2010, thanks in large part to a lackluster economy, more efficient cars and the blending of ethanol into gasoline.

----

GINGRICH: "Now I want you to think about this: Thousands of migratory birds are killed every year by wind turbines. But wind turbines are one of President Barack Obama's favorite alternative fuels, so they are green. Therefore, although they kill birds they are green so they are good even though what they are doing may not be good."

THE FACTS: Gingrich appears to be using solid science here, and sounds much like bird conservation groups with this claim. The American Bird Conservancy has called the Fish and Wildlife Service's failure to go after bird deaths from wind turbines a "double standard." In 2008, a scientist with the service estimated that wind farms were killing 440,000 birds per year. Now there are even more wind turbines. The agency estimates that 500,000 to 1 million birds die annually in oil field pits and at waste facilities. Justice Department records show that while charges have been brought under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act for birds killed by power lines, oil field waste pits and inaccurate pesticide applications by farmers, bird deaths by wind farms have so far escaped prosecution. So, too, have much larger sources of bird deaths such as automobile strikes, cat attacks and birds colliding with buildings, which could also be prosecuted under the law but aren't.

---

GINGRICH: "The Environmental Protection Agency under President Obama has a proposal for a brand-new regulation that would, on average, raise the cost of gasoline another 25 cents."

THE FACTS: Gingrich is referring to a proposal to lower the sulfur content of gasoline, but the EPA has yet to come out with any such regulation. Gingrich gets his cost increase figure from a July 2011 study commissioned by the American Petroleum Institute, a lobbying group for the oil industry. The report concluded that gas prices could rise 12 to 25 cents, a range six senators cited in a letter to the EPA in January. Gingrich picks the high end of the range, which assumes the most stringent requirements. EPA officials say that even the low projection assumes actions that the agency has no plans of pursuing.

Pitch Debris to Tune In Your Perceptive Vision - Insurance Blog

Without even acknowledging it, we awaken regular to muddle flowing inconstant television system or World-wide-web in the home, talk airwaves in a car, Tv set information applications on the air-port and high in volume audio in restaurants. Quickly our sensory faculties turn into numbed and our vision turns unexciting. How should a person relate with their perceptive vision and goals though being continuously deluged by a huge number of out of doors messages?

Vision is crucial to results. Sure, you can come on a better plan with no knowledge of where by youre heading, but for me assistance many people, it rarely comes about like this. Successful persons glimpse ahead, picture the upcoming they demand, then arrive as a result of a variety of interest, investment and perceptive vision.

To conceptualize any vision you should initially get tranquil. Get rid of the muddle and turn down the volume. Once you knowingly wipe out persistent disturbance, silence arouses your creative imagination. Morph it into a objective to reduce muddle out of your brain, your day and your daily life.

I started off with my actual atmosphere, the least difficult to control. I productively developed an minimalist residence and a minimalist office. Next I minimalist my emotional atmosphere. As I rarely watch television or tune in to talk airwaves, we dont hunger for an hourly upgrade on napster latest events, We have my very own muddle being hooked on battlemovies. My addiction got so terrible for a short time that we identified personally planning to seriously terrible videos, questioning in the future why I spent that time and cash. I even now love planning to great videos, however right now Im far more discerning.

I love these exercises include the most popular methods to take it easy. However, you can?t awaken to muddle, be deluged with it for hours on end, go to bed achievable identical amount of intrusion and now have the emotional space for connecting using your perceptive vision. Pick out renewing methods to take it easy, like strolling by having a playground, soaking within the container or looking at a fantastic e book.

As with most serious projects, getting rid of all the muddle inside your life may be too much to handle at the beginning. The actual is usually to don?t start to large:

1.Obvious your space. Unclutter your actual atmosphere at home and work. Carry 10 mins daily arranging that stack of papers thats been sitting on your credenza for several weeks. Invest quarter-hour daily to organizing a dresser or perhaps a place thats only a little bit much less eye-catching versus the area get rid of. Do not take on an entire crawl space. Get started with one corner, then begin one more till its performed.

2.Unclutter the mind. Do away with 1 odchudzanie out of doors incitement, 1 Television show or one chatty telephone call. Then wipe out one more. In lieu of looking at 3 newspaper publishers or mags, go through 1. Whilst traveling, exchange talk airwaves with motivational Compact discs or audio that energizes suggestions and clears a room for fulfillment. Meditate since you go to sleep or go through a thing enjoyable that can bring you calmness, not anxiety.

Be similarly discerning on how you go out with best freinds and family. You may not imagine a connection as muddle, but it is usually. Are relaxed, unfulfilling human relationships preserving through your eyesight? Would fewer, far more purposeful human relationships be valuable? Evaluate whether a partnership is certainly one that you just importance. If you?re not, eliminate it or, at least, lessen the visibility. Uncluttering is around building possibilities in all of the regions of the mind, space and time.

3.Turned off procrastination. Procrastination brings about fret and anxiety, which happens to be brain muddle. Youre troubled with regards to the coming meeting because the report due remains to be challenging at ideal.

Everyday I awaken with new suggestions, but that you We have only 16 awakening working hours daily in which to do all of it. Misplaced stubbornness, like for example, I started off it, I must finish it, can tire out you since you plow forward within the completely wrong path. Selectiveintuitiveprocrastination allows the best tricks to rise to the top and retains you centered.

Dr. Drew catches up with ladies of 'Teen Mom 2'

By Drusilla Moorhouse, E! Online

MTV

The mothers of "Teen Mom 2" reconvene to update viewers.

Jenelle, Leah, Kailyn and Chelsea: The doctor is ready to see you now!

The "Teen Mom 2" stars reunited tonight in the first part of the MTV reality show's obligatory "checkup" with Dr. Drew Pinsky, to discuss where they are at "this moment" in their lives.

Never mind that "this moment" occurred last summer (when this reunion show was taped) -- eons in "Teen Mom" time -- when Leah was blond and not engaged to someone else and Jenelle was facing jail for the very first time.

It may be ancient history, but tonight's show had plenty of surprises ... and brand-new drama.

LAST WEEK'S RECAP: "Teen Mom 2" finale recap: Jenelle rehabs, Leah divorces, Kailyn gets dumped and Chelsea ... sigh

First on the couch was Jenelle, who has made great strides since her return from rehab in the season finale: She's back together with bum boyfriend Kieffer Delp, she relapsed and failed a drug test, and is facing jail time. Dr. Drew failed to see the positive and totally harshed on the young mom: "You're on probation, you're smoking pot, you're hanging out with a guy you filed domestic violence charges against. Tell me where you're better."

Well, when he puts it that way....

On the bright side, Jenelle has a "set schedule," has been attending school and isn't arguing (as much) with her mom, Barbara -- who is invited for another round of family therapy, MTV style.

MORE: Would "Teen Mom's" Amber Portwood prefer jail to a halfway house if it meant staying on TV?

Barbara agreed that she and her daughter are "doing a lot better" -- especially since Jenelle's stepfather "is gone": "He moved out with a Hooters waitress!" Barbara cackled, much to the good doctor's consternation.

When asked how she felt about Jenelle's relationship with Kieffer, Barbara perfectly summed up Florida's famous hobo : "He's so no good."

Drew prompted the women to name the things they like about each other (this time Barbara got all the way to three), which ended with a collective "Awww" from the studio audience when Jenelle said Barbara is a "good mom." And they hugged.

Awww.

If there's one thing we learned from Kailyn's session with Dr. Drew, it's this: Chlamydia can be very confusing.

Joining the Teen Mom on the couch were the two men forming the hypotenuse of her love triangle, baby daddy-rap superstar Jo and ex-boyfriend Jordan -- whom she cheated on with the aforementioned baby daddy. "Honestly I've treated him pretty bad," Kailyn admitted tearfully about her one-night stand with Jo.

Back up -- now Jo is hinting it was more than once.

Maybe, admits Kailyn, but she insists she only "cheated on Jordan once."

Jo, looking fine in a pair of short pants that Angus Young would envy, says he doesn't want to "try to force a relationship" with Kailyn, who -- now that Jo has shut her down -- says she wants to be with Jordan.

MORE: "Teen Mom's" Jenelle Evans: Restraining orders against her dismissed

"You don't know how hard it is to be a Teen Mom (TM)," she cries, as if defending a brand identity. "It hurts me that I'm hurting you." And then she demands, "It should be a mutual agreement if we break up."

Except Jordan points out that they can't break up, because they are not a couple, and Kailyn dramatically storms off the stage.

Thank the reality TV gods she came back, because the triangle reformed and the topic quickly turned to ... STDs! Dr. Drew lit up like a Christmas tree at this Life Lesson opportunity.

MORE: "Teen Mom's" Amber Portwood headed to halfway house drug program

You see, Kailyn's IUD is great at preventing pregnancy. Chlamydia, not so much, even -- and here's the most important lesson of all, kids -- if you're having sex in the shower.

After Jordan and Kailyn revealed they'd both been tested and treated, realization finally dawned on Jo, who asked: "Wait, did you just blame me for giving you STDs?" Ding ding ding -- we have a winner! "How do I know you're not having sex with someone else?" he responded. Fair enough, but for the sake of N.I.C.K. B's "groupies," we wish he'd get tested and treated.

Dr. Drew is right: Chlamydia can be very confusing.

PHOTOS: Reality TV hookups

Next week, Leah and Chelsea take their seats on the couch, and reveal even more shocking secrets. (Chelsea cheated on Adam? That poor, sweet man -- how could she do such a thing.)

What did you think of the bombshells Kailyn and Jenelle dropped tonight? Is Kailyn being unfair to Jordan, or just honest? Did Jenelle's slip-ups surprise you? Tell us on our Facebook page.

EU Will Refer ACTA To Highest European Court

ACTAThe European Union says it will refer the controversial ACTA anti-piracy trade agreement to the institution's highest court, the European Court of Justice, to check whether it complies with the EU's fundamental rights. EU trade chief Karel De Gucht is leading the process. He said: "We are planning to ask Europe's highest court to assess ACTA's compatibility with the EU's fundamental rights and freedoms, such as freedom of expression and information or that of protection? Let me be very clear: I share people's concern for these fundamental freedoms... especially over the freedom of the internet."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) ? John Glenn plans to mark the 50th anniversary of his historic spaceflight with a series of events Monday at Ohio State University, including a celebratory dinner and a chat with the International Space Station.

The astronaut and senator from Ohio became the first American to orbit the Earth on Feb. 20, 1962, circling it three times in five hours and helping to lead the nation into space. The trip helped the United States catch up to the Soviet Union's accomplishments, and Glenn said he thinks it was a turning point for the national psyche.

"It's amazing to me to look back 50 years and think that it's been 50 years," Glenn told The Associated Press last month.

He and NASA administrator Charles Bolden were expected to speak with the space station on Monday to kick off a NASA forum about the agency's future and its role in advancing fields such as science, technology and the economy. Glenn and Annie, his wife of almost seven decades, will cap the day by participating in a student-led question-and-answer session during an evening gala featuring a keynote speech by former astronaut Mark Kelly, the commander of the space shuttle Endeavour's final mission.

Glenn was among the top military test pilots presented in 1959 as the Mercury Seven. The only other surviving Mercury astronaut is Scott Carpenter, who called out the memorable line "Godspeed John Glenn" moments before the rocket ignited for Glenn's spaceflight.

The trip is among the accomplishments that made Glenn, as Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee put it, one of the country's "greatest treasures."

"John Glenn is, quite simply, an extraordinary American patriot," Gee said in a statement ahead of the event. "He is a man of boundless courage, limitless optimism and unswerving honor. I am deeply grateful for this opportunity to celebrate his tremendous achievements and his important leadership at Ohio State."

In 1998, when he was 77, Glenn became the oldest person to fly in space.

Now 90, Glenn is the namesake of a NASA research center in Cleveland and a public affairs school at Ohio State. He's given the university more than a thousand boxloads of materials and artifacts to display, including the hand controller with which he flew the Friendship 7 capsule on that historic orbit 50 years ago.

Beyond Blue 5: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs | Via Meadia

America?s economic structure, the labor market and the American workplace have changed greatly in the last twenty years and will likely change even more in the twenty years to come. Some of these changes are unpredictable; others look baked into the cake. But as the blue social model continues to fade, the question of jobs will rise even higher on the national agenda. The American economy will not only need to create new jobs, it will need to create new kinds of jobs and new relationships between workers and employers as we work to build the next version of the American dream.

This is going to mean new kinds of policy at every level of government. In the 19th century, government promoted the rise of the family farm, selling cheaply and ultimately giving away millions of acres of farmland, and promoting the rise of railroads (which could carry the produce of western farms to world markets). In the 20th century the government promoted the rise of large, stable corporate employers that offered armies of white and blue collar employees lifetime employment and a bevy of benefits.

Those 20th century policies won?t produce the same results in the new era. In many ways, the old jobs policies will now get in the way.? The new economy needs a different framework to encourage new kinds of jobs and new industries; the faster we get to these the faster we will emerge from the death throes of the blue model into a new and much brighter world.

Some mourn the passing of the old ways; some are glad. It doesn?t, fundamentally, matter.? The real political division in American today is between those who think the old days can come back if the government does the right things (tax rich people; pump enough money into state and local government, health care and the higher ed industry; raise tariffs high enough and sprinkle enough subsidies on enough industries to protect and rebuild the manufacturing sector) and those like Via Meadia who think that Humpty Dumpty can?t be put together again, no matter how many of the king?s horses and king?s men set up federal egg patching programs.

Those who think the magic can return are free to organize into political movements and rage against the dying of the light; it?s a free country and VM thinks everyone should do their best to advance their ideas and policy options in the political world. But this fight will at most slow down the pace of change; the real contest in America is going to be about what to do next. ?Energy over time is likely to flow from nostalgia for the old toward the construction of the new.

Wanted or not, changes will continue. Manufacturing may well come back to the United States to some degree, but it will be capital intensive, automated manufacturing. Armies of blue collar assembly line workers won?t be making middle class livelihoods from unskilled factory work.

Lifetime employment will continue to go the way of the dodo. So will many of the aspects of the employment relationship that went with that. Defined benefit pension programs are already pretty much toast; so too is the implied social contract that the employer, like a feudal lord, would provide lifetime protection and security so long as the employee, like a good and faithful serf, provided labor and loyalty.

Those who still have something close to lifetime employment ? tenured professors and teachers, civil servants and other government employees, postal service workers ? feel the unwelcome winds of change. Many who now have these benefits will likely lose them; such jobs will be much more rare and much harder to come by for new generations of workers.

As employment continues to shift away from manufacturing and routine information?processing and administrative activities, the job market is likely to change in some unexpected and, to many, disturbing ways. Many white collar professions and, to use Robert Reich?s phrase, the ?symbolic analyst? jobs are going to experience some of the same pressures that manufacturing employment experienced in the last generation. Automation and outsourcing will combine to limit employment opportunities and income levels for most accountants, lawyers, architects and even some types of medical specialists. (X rays and CAT scans can be read as easily in India as at the local specialist?s office, and given the exponential improvements in software, many other medical processes will become susceptible to outsourcing and automation.) There is no sacred dictate from on high mandating that design work and research need to be conducted in North America by people of European descent.

Many people who project the present into the future and believe that trees grow to the sky predict a future in which the upper middle class levitates into the economic stratosphere while the rest of America sinks into a post industrial quagmire as lawn boys and parlor maids. To do that is to miss this essential dynamic: the upper middle class also faces some destabilizing change. The serried, suited ranks of middle management and midlevel professionals face the scythe just as the steelworkers and the autoworkers once did.

In many and perhaps most economic sectors, the links between employers and employees are likely to weaken. It is not only that fewer people will work for many decades in the same big box processing plants ? whether a factory making hard goods like automobiles or a facility making information products like an insurance company or a bank. As communication software improves, as telecom costs continue to drop, as management practices catch up with technological capability, many more people will work from home, or in small satellite facilities. Increasingly, they will work for more than one company at a time, bidding on assignments, perhaps, on a contract basis rather than as long-term employees.

In this sense the workplace will become less feudal and more transactional. People will date around with employers, rather than settling into long-term exclusive relationships. Entrepreneurs, free agents and freelancers will be much more common than they are now; lifers more rare.

In the old system workers were represented by labor unions ? almost one third of the workforce at the peak, higher if one considers only blue-collar workers. The labor union is predicated on long-term employment; if all the workers are going to be working in the same Ford plant until retirement, it makes sense for them to band together and fight for higher wages.

But in the labor market of the future, workers are less likely to need bargaining agents who improve their working conditions and pay through a rule-making process at their long-term employer. They are more likely to need a kind of career agent who helps them negotiate work contracts for short term gigs and develop a long term plan to keep their skills sharp and move with a changing economy into new fields. Fewer of us will build careers by lifetime service to a single firm; more of us will seek improved pay and more agreeable work by switching companies and even fields. Fewer of us will be represented by the successors of Jimmy Hoffa; more of us will have a personal Michael Ovitz on call.

I?ll write some more about agents as one of the careers of the future in a later post. These agents are likely to combine some of the functions of a lawyer, a mentor and a financial planner; they may work on commission or for an annual fee. They will compete with each other to attract clients who have or who can acquire skills that are in demand; they will provide many Americans with the kind of life, career and education advice that will help them navigate the choppy seas of a changing economy. People are likely to use agents not only to help with employment, but with health care management, education, taxes, financial planning and so on. In the future, everyone will have a staff.

But the weakening of the ties between employer and employee is another way to speak of the ?entrepreneurialization? of the American labor market. In the 19th century, most Americans were entrepreneurs: operators of family farms. In the 20th century, most were employees, often of very large companies. In the 21st century we are likely going to become more entrepreneurial again, only instead of selling the produce of our farms, we are going to be selling the services we produce based on our skills and our imaginations.

The new economy is likely to involve more agents and small entrepreneurs; the falling cost of information dramatically lowers the capital cost of new business start ups. For the price of a personal computer and an internet link, an entrepreneur now has access to information and clients locally and worldwide that giant corporations couldn?t assemble in the 1960s. But the bewildering variety of information available on the web, and the vast number of options consumers have creates needs for reliable, trustworthy filters. Most people can?t deal with the masses of data on the web; they need retailers who can package that information into something they can use.

Many white collar professionals will turn into information retailers providing sophisticated and personalized services for households. Just as the industrialization of manufacturing meant that ordinary people now had access to an abundance of material goods once out of reach of all but the richest, so the industrial revolution in information will place sophisticated services in the hands of the mass market.

More, the proliferation of small information-based business will create markets for B2B information service: consultants who help small entrepreneurs manage technology, cash flow, marketing and other functions.

Currently, the American legal and regulatory system is set up to bind as many people to employers as possible. The government wants you to be a wage slave and sets up a regulatory framework that keeps as many of us as possible yoked to bosses and management. The IRS doesn?t like the self-employed, fearing they many conceal income. Banks and credit card companies view such people with suspicion, and it is notoriously difficult for start ups and part time enterprises to have access to formal finance. Many services are hard for the self-employed to get on terms like those made available to employees of large corporations: from health insurance to retirement planning, many things are harder and more expensive for the self-employed. The payroll tax system is brutal: the self-employed pay both the employer and employee halves of Social Security and Medicare taxes, almost 20 percent of income and likely to go higher. Many cities will tack on unincorporated business taxes, mass transit taxes, and other interesting feudal exactions and dues.

There are other, subtler ways in which the current system favors old style large employers over small firms.? The cost of hiring people can be prohibitively high for small businesses: the paperwork involved in hiring so much as a cleaning person or babysitter can be cumbersome.? Hiring full time workers involves negotiating the requirements for worker compensation, unemployment insurance and much else. The cost of these barriers cannot be calculated: jobs foregone, businesses stifled in their cradles, ideas untested, innovations untried.

In order to create the kind of job and service explosion that can provide better incomes for more Americans going forward, the government needs to shift policy. It must favor the small firm and entrepreneur: the owner-proprietor group needs to become the apple of the government?s eye. Their taxes should be cut; their paperwork burdens drastically reduced; regulations should be rewritten and simplified to meet their needs.

Cutting paperwork is much cheaper for the government than cutting taxes, by the way, and its effect on small business is likely to be much more profound. Small, lightly capitalized business enterprises are usually led by people who don?t have much time or know how when it comes to bureaucratic requirements. Even very basic payroll issues ? filing and paying estimated taxes, managing benefits such as unemployment and disability insurance and so forth ? stretch their capacity.

A system that allowed small business to simply hire people with a handshake and pay them with a check, notifying the government once a year of amounts paid and to whom (and with the ability to deduct all reported wages from gross receipts for tax purposes) would likely increase the rate of business formation and hiring and if anything would result in a net increase of revenue for the government as more jobs were created and as fewer start ups and small enterprises would chose to operate under the table.

Taxes and insurance would be the responsibility of employees, and compliance could be enforced through the employer-filed reports of wages paid. Employers would have a strong incentive to comply with the reporting requirement because it will be simple (name, amount, social security number) and because full reporting would result in substantial reductions to their own tax bills. To ensure that workers aren?t abused by this approach, a designated percentage of base wages would be earmarked for social insurance programs; in general it is less the dollar cost of some of these programs than the reporting and paperwork headache that is a problem for small business. Banks could be encouraged to set up payroll deposit programs that made regular estimated tax and other payments to government agencies, perhaps by working with existing payroll companies.

There are many other impediments to the operation of small business, especially in urban poverty zones where, perversely, regulations are often tightest where the poorest people live. Cities like San Francisco, New York, Chicago and even Detroit often burden small business with contradictory, expensive, poorly administered and bewilderingly complex reporting and permitting requirements ? to say nothing of taxes. Many businesses are simply throttled before birth; others operate informally and in the shadows. This provides an underground labor market for undocumented workers, means that many workers are not getting social insurance coverage, and deprives many businesses of any access to the formal credit sector, limiting the chance for expansion and job growth.

These wrongheaded and self defeating policies were expensive in the era of the blue social model, which has seen an economic collapse in American cities without precedent in our history; they will be ruinous in coming years as the economy continues to shift.

Blue partisans tend to prefer ?industrial policy? and ?targeted investments? in infrastructure and elsewhere to generalized reductions in taxes and regulations as a way to promote economic growth and accelerate America?s path into the future. I am not a purist and do not object to these measures always and in principle. I do not, for example, think President Eisenhower made a ghastly mistake when he inaugurated the interstate highway system.

But at this particular moment in history, the case for such policies is much weaker than at other times. This is partly because massive public investments generally go to large firms at a time when it is small business that we need to promote. It is partly because planned infrastructure investments work best when progress looks linear. In the 1950s it was relatively easy to project the immediate growth path the American economy was going to take. Today we are doing something much more complex and multifaceted, and it is not clear just how the bets should be laid. Moreover, the desperate hunger of large organizations and interests for government funds leads to intense pressure for white elephant projects like the California high speed rail project. (Repair of existing infrastructure is a different question and to the degree we clean up the long term fiscal picture and get public works costs under control, there is much to be said for infrastructure repair and renewal in times of high unemployment and low interest rates.)

It is also true that when political types think about ?smart investments? they often let their wishes master their thoughts. Clean energy would be very desirable and there is a political constituency for it; politicians will invest in it despite decades of failure (in, for example, solar energy). The ?smart investments? are almost always ?feel good? investments and industrial policy almost always reflects the social and policy preferences of large and well organized interest groups. In a time of relative technological and economic stability that may not be so bad; these days, it can be ruinous.

Instead of making what industrial policy advocates always call smart investments in the industries of the future (and which much too often turn into ethanol and Solyndra type boondoggles), we need to be improving the climate for the creation of new enterprises.? We don?t now know exactly what new services, new organizations, new products and even new professions will characterize the unprecedented information-rich economy that is beginning to rise around us. Nothing like this has ever been seen before, and it is impossible to plan for a future shaped by so many disruptive technologies all coming on line in such quick succession.

In our times, the advantages of unplanned capitalist innovation and competition are even more valuable than usual. We need an era of social and business experimentation. Many of the bright young people who a generation ago would have gone to work for large corporations or law firms, or moved into tenure track academic positions, need to find new ways of making a living. The young people who would have gone into factory jobs or routine but secure clerical positions must also find new ways of using their skills and talents. The terrain is uncharted; the old systems don?t work.

Government needs to clear unnecessary obstacles out of the paths of the pioneers of the new economy. The single most effective way the government can support the necessary change is to adapt its regulatory and employment policies to the needs of the start ups from whose ranks the leaders of the future will emerge. That is not the only type of change that would help, but it is the most important one.

The jobs of the future will not all come from start-ups and small business, but a very large proportion of them will. The best industrial policy we can have now is a policy that supports the rise of new information and service based enterprises. Small business and other, innovative forms of creative association (like co-ops and partnerships) will be a key engine of growth growing forward. We must do everything possible to accelerate and promote their growth; it is the best and fastest way out of our current troubles to the broad and sunny uplands that lie ahead.

Suggestions To Manage Your Time More Effectively | Self ...

If you have been reading up on Credit Card Offers, then you could have a good understanding of what is out there on the web. But what is helpful for you will depend on a few variables. There are many trustworthy resources about it, plus other associated aspects that you have to take into account, as well. It is not always safe to assume you have completely all the details and can stop reading and studying. The net is massive, indeed, and it can be really aggravating if you cannot quite nail down the final pieces of the puzzle. We have found the following about this specific subject, and we want to improve on it and give some added clarity.

Some people never have time to do anything. They always whine about their frantic lives and how they never have enough time. But then there are those people who get huge amounts of things finished and still have spare time, making you wonder whether they have some secret to making their days lengthier. These men and women have simply perfected the art of effective time management and it?s something we can easily all do. You?ll find a number of efficient time management tips in this article to help you start increasing your productivity.

For one week, create a journal in which you jot down your everyday activities and the time you spend on each one. There?s a good chance you might be wasting time more time than you think on activities that aren?t all that vital. As an example, it may seem you only spend half an hour per day watching television but will soon discover it?s more like a couple of hours a day. Hence, if you could cut those two hours a day down to 30 minutes, that?s a little over ten hours a week you can use for something more important.

Write It Down

To-do lists are extremely useful, but most people detest them intensely. To begin with, their effectiveness comes from the fact that you can clear your mind and focus on what you are working on. You won?t keep worrying about missing your kids? dentist appointment or forgetting to pay a bill on time since you?ve written it down.

You could also use a to-do list to set priorities, which is critical to managing your time efficiently. If you work from home, for example, your to do list could include things such as vacuuming, writing a blog post, doing the laundry, coming up with a new product idea and so on. You can do the laundry washing the following day if you run out of time since it?s rather obvious that working on a new product is more vital. You will find you become a lot more efficient with a to-do list because you will also get pleasure from crossing items off it as you finish them, giving you a great sense of satisfaction.

Plan Playtime

Everyone keeps on saying that people need to work harder and find more time to do it so they offer tips on how you can do exactly that. Nonetheless, if you do not include breaks and playtime, you?re going to be burning out, not able to face your life and the things you do. It is important for you to schedule playtime. There simply is no denying about the potential of Free Credit Report to dramatically alter some situations is incredible. Sometimes there is simply way too much to even attempt to cover in one go, and that is important for you to realize and take home. So we feel this is just an ideal time to take a break and assess what has just been covered. In light of all that is offered, and there is a lot, then this is a perfect time to be reading this. If you proceed, we know you will not be unhappy with what we have to offer in this article. Simply by knowing you?ve blocked off time for yourself, you will feel more determined to get things done simply because you know you will soon be able to rest. Leisure time can be more vital than work time. You don?t want to spend much of your time playing but you will undoubtedly be more effective if you de-stress often.

Every person on this planet has the same number of hours to utilize. The key to becoming more productive is hardly ever to work harder but to work wiser. Hopefully, these effective time management ideas will help you get better organized and find time to do what you want to do.

What we have just talked about is the beginning in so many ways. You can simply spend weeks researching Free Credit Score and still not include all the ground work. If you are operating from a sound base of information that is precise, then you will be happier with your results. A lot of people see the mountains of info online and they get intimidated very quickly.

Whitney Houston fans to follow funeral on Internet (AP)

NEW YORK ? They won't be there in person, but singer Whitney Houston's millions of fans worldwide will be able to share in her homecoming service Saturday as they watch her private funeral on the Internet.

It will provide a much-needed connection for fans who have lacked a formal place to eulogize Houston, one of the world's best-selling artists who died in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Saturday at the age of 48.

Some have gathered and placed flowers outside the Newark, N.J., church where the funeral will be held by invitation-only at the request of Houston's family, who wish to maintain some privacy. Others have stopped by the funeral home. But many have longed to share more fully in commemorating the superstar's life, and have shown their grief in one of the few ways available to them ? by buying her music.

Houston's funeral will be at New Hope Baptist Church, where she sang as a child. Her eulogy will be given by gospel singer Marvin Winans, a Grammy Award winner and longtime family friend. Afterward, Houston will be buried in Fair View Cemetery in Westfield, N.J., according to her death certificate. Her father, John Russell Houston Jr., was buried there in 2003.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, investigators for the coroner's office have subpoenaed records from the singer's doctors and pharmacies who dispensed medication found in the hotel room where she died.

Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said such inquiries are routine in virtually all death investigations.

Investigators have not said what medications they have recovered from Houston's room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The singer was found underwater in a bathtub by a member of her staff hours before she planned to attend a chic pre-Grammy gala. Police have said there were no signs of foul play and Winter said there were no signs of trauma on her body when an autopsy was conducted on Sunday.

It will be weeks before toxicology results reveal the medications and quantities, if any, that were in Houston's system when she died. The Grammy winner's history of substance abuse has added to the speculation that her death may have been caused by prescription drugs.

In a 2009 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Houston talked about how she was deeply shaken by the death of singer Michael Jackson. Jackson died at age 51 that year from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol.

Houston recalled taping a show celebrating Jackson's 30th anniversary celebration in 2001. Both stars were strikingly thin.

"I was getting scared," she told Winfrey. "I was looking at myself going, `No, I don't want this to be like this. This can't happen. Not both of us.'"

Like Jackson, Houston was on the verge of a career comeback before her death on Feb. 11. And, like Jackson, sales of her recordings have soared since her passing as fans try to recapture her glory days in the 1980s and 1990s. Old recordings have been propelled to the top of sales charts on iTunes and Amazon.com.

Houston's publicist, Kristen Foster, announced Wednesday that The Associated Press will be allowed a camera at Saturday's funeral in Newark. The AP will stream the service on http://livestream.com/aplive. The event also will be available to broadcasters via satellite.

Increase Your online business Competently As a ... - CopyKat? CMS

Content merchandising can be used as being a resourceful outlet for those who choose to compose stuff. Not simply can they get some dough from it nonetheless it should help them follow their creating qualities so they can strengthen upon them. Picking out to carry out page advertising in ones absolutely free time can will offer you a good number of benefits.

A huge half of report advertising is designing content which can proficiently persuade audience who drop within your goal market place that there?s a must have for your personal precise service or product. Therefore, essentially the most highly effective option to achieve readers is always to obtain out what type of subject material and reading product your target promote finds exciting.

Generate article content that are affiliated in your agency. The greater publicity you obtain, the better opportunity that you?ll generate additional flow into your internet site, so make the most of piece of writing composing to explain the products and services that you feature. This will likely educate your visitors to the details of your respective organisation, though resulting in a lot more visitors at your internet site.

When publishing reports on an array of directories being an Net Marketer, there?s two reliable rules you need to stay by. 1, never publish the very same write-up two times. Always be sure to modification elements up and to give a fresh, fresh new angle over the theme. Two, protect your inbound links for your personal author bio so your article won?t scan as spam.

Practice patience when primary getting started with content selling. Your success will very likely not be stellar to begin with, but as your submission numbers rise, income should preferably grow. It could choose a few months prior to deciding to start to view outcome. As long as that you are submitting new content articles regularly, understand that your targets will eventually be arrived at.

Never think negative due to the fact no-one understands whatever you do. A lot more than 80 p.c of the world constantly follows what nearly everybody else does and these many people direct genuinely regular, standard lives. The opposite twenty %, or quite possibly an even smaller total, prefer to live incredible lives basically because they are really not afraid to generate amazing selections and observe as a result of on amazing thoughts.

Ensure that you fully understand the conditions of support to the guide online marketing directories you intend on by means of, prior to deciding to start off crafting content. A few of the larger directories are really quite rigid in terms of minimum amount word rely and quality.
