Money And Divorce: What Recent Divorce Research Has To Say About Poverty's Effect On Marriage

' }); }); }(jQuery)); Posted: 08/29/2012 1:16 am Updated: 08/29/2012 1:19 am

Divorce isn't easy for anyone. But for the poorest couples in our nation, money-related issues all too often contribute to divorce -- or prove to be a barrier to obtaining one once they decide to call it quits.

Click through the slideshow below to read about recent research on the intersection of divorce and poverty, then weigh in: which study surprised you most?

• Divorce Is Too Expensive For The Poorest Americans

  More couples are opting for long-term marital separations because they <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/20/divorce-expensive-americans_n_1811821.html" target="_hplink">cannot afford to divorce</a>, according to a study conducted by <a href="http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2012-08/asa-msa081412.php" target="_hplink">Ohio State University</a> that was published in August 2012. Researchers surveyed 7,272 people between 1979 and 2008. Most people in the study who separated from a spouse reported getting a divorce within three years of separating. But <a href="http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2012-08/asa-msa081412.php" target="_hplink">15 percent of people who separated did not get a divorce within the first 10 years</a> because it was too costly, especially when children were involved.

• Unemployed Men Are More Likely To Split

  In July 2011, researchers at Ohio State University found that <a href="http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-06/uocp-hes062011.php" target="_hplink">unemployed men face a greater likelihood that their wives will initiate divorce</a>. They also found that men are more likely to leave their marriages when out of work. A woman's employment status had no effect on whether or not her husband stays or leaves. "There's something still about men's non-employment that flies in the face of what couples think a marriage should be," the study's <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/01/unemployment-divorce-stud_n_888357.html" target="_hplink">lead researcher Liana Sayer told the Huffington Post.</a>

• Children Of Divorce Are More Likely To Live In Poverty

  Children of divorce are more likely to live in poverty and to live with their mothers, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/25/divorce-poverty-children-census_n_936896.html" target="_hplink">according to a Census report</a> on marriage released in August 2011. According to the report, three-quarters of children in divorced families lived with their mother in 2009.<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/25/divorce-poverty-children-census_n_936896.html" target="_hplink"> Twenty-eight percent of children within that group lived below the poverty rate,</a> compared to a 19% poverty rate among other children.

• Couples Who Receive Government Assistance Are More Prone To Divorce

  According to <a href="http://phys.org/news/2011-09-couples-marital-satisfaction-commitment.html" target="_hplink">a study released by the University of Missouri</a> in September 2011, married couples that receive government assistance, such as Medicaid or food stamps, are more prone to divorce. Of the 295 couples surveyed, those earning $20,000 or less and receiving government assistance reported significantly lower rates of marital satisfaction than couples with the same income that received no state support. In <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/14/government-assistance-and_n_959237.html" target="_hplink">an interview with the Huffington Post</a>, researcher Dr. David Schramm sized up the implications of the study. "We have to take a closer look at what the effect of government assistance is, and how it may affect people's attitudes and make them feel inferior," he said. "There may be a stigma associated with receiving welfare assistance, so I think we need to do a better job of looking at what government assistance does to individuals' sense of self and well-being."

• Lower Income Couples Hold Similar Marriage Values As Higher-Earning Couples

  In a <a href="http://www.ncfr.org/sites/default/files/downloads/news/jmf_july_2012_0.pdf" target="_hplink">June 2012 study</a>, researchers at UCLA found that people with lower incomes value marriage just as much as those with higher incomes, though they're more likely to grapple with economic and social issues such as money problems, drinking and drug use. "We found that people with low incomes value marriage as an institution, have similar standards for choosing a marriage partner and experience similar problems with managing their relationships," <a href="http://www.yourtango.com/2012156563/why-do-low-income-marriages-have-lower-success-rates" target="_hplink">researcher Thomas Trail said of the study</a>. "We suggest that initiatives to strengthen marriage among the poor should also take social issues into account, as they can place a tremendous amount of stress on a marriage."

• Retired Women Are More Likely To Live In Poverty Than Retired Men, Partly Because Of Divorce

  According to a July 2012 Government Accountability Office study, women aged 65 and older <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-25/women-seen-living-retirement-in-poverty-at-higher-rates-than-men.html" target="_hplink">live in poverty at higher rates than men</a>, despite their involvement in employer-sponsored retirement plans. The study showed that divorce and widowhood had "detrimental effects" for retired women or those reaching the point of retirement, and took more of a toll on women's finances than men's.

• The States With The Highest Divorce Rates Are Also The Poorest

  An <a href="http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/marital_status_living_arrangements/cb11-144.html" target="_hplink">August 2011 Census report</a> on marriage showed that men and women in the South had higher rates of divorce in 2009 than in other regions of the country -- 10.2 divorces per 1,000 men and 11.1 per 1,000 women. Comparatively, the national divorce rate was 9.2 for men and 9.7 for women. The high divorce rates can be partly attributed to <a href="http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/marital_status_living_arrangements/cb11-144.html" target="_hplink">higher marriage rates in the South</a>, Diana Elliott, a family demographer at the Census Bureau said. <a href="http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/44308315/ns/today-money/t/oklahoma-tops-list-highest-divorce-rates/#.UDaqXRrLyRl" target="_hplink">But according to 24/7 Wall St</a>, its the tough economic climate that drives the divorce rate up. The site reported that states with particularly high divorce rates had below median household income and a high percentage of the population living below the poverty line.

Men rob Ohio victim but make sure he has bus fare

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) ? Police say robbers who held up an Ohio man at gunpoint gave him back enough money for bus fare before running away.

It happened at a Dayton bus stop on Tuesday morning. The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/O2hB3b ) reports that two men walked up, and one of them put a gun to the victim's forehead and ordered him to hand over everything in his pockets.

The victim gave them $40 and his cellphone.

Before fleeing on foot, one of the men asked the victim if he had enough money for the bus. When he said no, one handed him back $2.

The suspects are still being sought.

EPA grants Louisiana partial fuel waiver ahead of Isaac

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday granted a partial fuel waiver to the state of Louisiana to make it easier for distributors to keep the state's supply of fuel available as it responds to Hurricane Isaac.

This waiver will give Louisiana refineries in 14 parishes the latitude to utilize slightly higher Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) fuels starting immediately until September 6, which is when the actual RVP changes for key pipelines.

Using fuel with the same RVP will make it easier to help ease the shortages caused by evacuations ahead of Hurricane Isaac, the EPA said.

The seasonal switch from lower to higher RVP gasoline is just beginning as refiners switch their blending to make gasoline for colder weather.

The Colonial Pipeline, which carries refined products from Gulf Coast refineries including several in Louisiana to the New York Harbor, will shift its RVP specification from 9.0 RVP to 11.5 RVP by September 6.

Higher RVP gasoline is cheaper for refiners to make and butane can be blended in place of an oxygenate like ethanol.

On Monday, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality requested fuel waivers for 16 parishes. On Tuesday, it received a partial fuel waiver for all but two -- Calcasieu and Beauregard.

Since the majority of parishes will be using the same type of gas, it will make it easier for fuel distributors and gas stations to keep gas at the pumps.

PFT: Raiders' Janikowski injures groin

Getty Images

There?s little worse than having your starting quarterback leave with an injury in the preseason, but it looks like the Lions got little more than a temporary scare from Matthew Stafford on Saturday.

The Lions quarterback left the game with an injury to his left hand, but x-rays taken during the contest were negative. Stafford, who wore a wrap on the hand, said afterward that he would have returned if it had been a regular season game.

?Probably what would have happened in a regular season game is right after it happened, I would have up for x-rays,? Stafford said, via Anwar Richardson of MLive.com. ?If they would have said they were negative, I would have come back in the game. It feels okay right now. It feels fine, really. It?s scary to look down and see your hand swell up by the second.?

Running back Kevin Smith also seems to have avoided an injury that will keep him out of the lineup for an extended period. The oft-injured running back hurt his ankle early in the second half, but also got good news when x-rays came back negative on Saturday.

?It just gets scary under the pile of those big guys laying on you. It?s just a minor tweak, something I?m pretty sure I can get rid of quick. Just stay in the training room,? Smith said. ?More than anything, I was very scared. Just being that I had a high ankle sprain, I know how long it took to get back healthy. It?s not a high ankle sprain, so that?s positive. I?ll get in the treatment room and get back as soon as I can.?

Given the thin ranks at running back early in the season for Detroit, an injury to Smith would have forced the team to look for backfield help before the season starts. They still might do that, but it doesn?t appear they will be quite as desperate as many feared when Smith hobbled off the field in Oakland.

Now the Lions just need to clear up the status of the two cornerbacks who went down against the Raiders to make the whole night a momentary scare instead of a lingering problem.

Do You Wonder How To Get Rid of Water Weight? : Heart Failure ...

How in the world do you lose water?? It?s SO hard to get rid of water weight!

Have you ever noticed that exercise doesn?t help?

Reducing calories doesn?t help either.

Certainly you?ve heard that fluid retention is about salt.

So, IS salt the culprit?

It?s nothing to worry about, is it??? Cut down on salt and you should be fine ? right?

WRONG!

There are two different types of water weight.

The kind you can ignore ? and the kind you can?t.

But don?t get me wrong.? They are BOTH harmful!

Cutting down on salt ? limiting calories ? exercising your brains out ? it?s not necessarily going to help you get rid of water weight!

If you feel powerless to do anything about it and your doctor isn?t particularly worried about it, why give it any thought?

?

3 Reasons To Consider Fluid Retention a Sign of Trouble:

1. retained fluid interferes with the absorption of nutrients
2. oxygen uptake is adversely effected by fluid retention
3. oxygen deprivation will damage your eye sight, and short term memory AND it will weaken your heart muscle

?

A few pretty good reasons to be concerned about fluid retention, huh?

The problem is that the cause of your fluid retention is probably not obvious.

You can read the posts related to water retention in the side bar, or you can explore the healthy eating category in the navigation above and see what might help your situation.

Many have found solutions with the folks at ?Food Matters?.? Their Detox Guide is often an awesome resource for discovering the solutions for fluid retention.? Have you heard that the FDA has put a stop to Google ads that contain the word ?detox??? It seems it will be harder to discover useful tools in the future.

Why do you think simple-safe solution is getting harder and harder to share?

Why?

Because fear is powerful protection for the trillion dollar profits enjoyed by the pharmaceutical industry.? The FDA works hand in hand with this ?medical cartel? to keep simple-safe solution in the dark while they snuff out anyone threatening the status-quo.

Water retention is frequently a women?s health issue, as well, so that is another reason this issue is not demanding more attention.? Women?s health issues don?t at present.

Don?t despair!? I?m not trying to bring you down.

The wonderful secret the medical cartel does not want you to know is that you have the power to heal yourself!

You access your power to heal yourself by Breathing Into Now.

How simple is that?? What could be more simple than breathing?

Uh oh ? hold on a minute.

Have you ever tried to breathe when you are afraid?

How about when you are really sick?? Can you breathe then?

Times of stress and extreme illness are exactly the times when you most need to breathe properly!

IF you don?t know HOW to attend to your bio-chemical health with your BREATH in a life threatening event, it could mean the difference between life and death!? No joke!

Breathing properly day in and day out will result in more oxygen getting to your cells which WILL address cancer and heart disease concerns, as well as water weight concerns!

Get rid of water weight because it is harmful to your blood oxygen level and that is a HUGE factor with both cancer AND heart disease!

However, if you are afraid of death and disease, you may be comforted by the thought that your doctor knows more than you do.? If you accept his/her lack of concern about water weight, you are not likely to value the information that can arm you with life saving skill!

Manage your bio-chemical health with your extremely powerful Sacred Breath to get rid of water weight and you will reduce your risk of CANCER and HEART DISEASE!

So, how do you challenge your doctor?s complacency ? as well as your own, so you KEEP looking for solutions that will get rid of water weight?

Sacred Breathing is an awesome way to breathe into NOW and eliminate the anxiety of tomorrow and the regret of yesterday.? When you can do that, you can navigate your options until you find your answers regardless of the smoke and mirrors designed to deceive you.

If your doctor can?t drug it, he/she will not give it attention or express concern.

Pay attention to what is happening in your body because YOU need to be concerned with water weight!

You are often your own worst enemy, but you can also be your own best advocate and friend!

The secret to finally following through with your good intentions is available to you now!

Become aware of your breathing ? and improve your breathing.

Breathing into now is exactly how you will dissolve self defeating behavior!

The Life Breath Coach will show you how!

It is important because it contains all the information you need to know to improve your breathing!?

Bible game show aims for religious audience - Religion News Service

(RNS) The world?s best-selling book has made it to the small screen in what is thought to be the first religiously themed game show on a secular network.

?The American Bible Challenge? tests teams? knowledge of the Old and New Testaments in a quiz show interspersed with stories of the competitors and the charities they play for.

The show represents a bid to tap the religious market by the secular GSN (formerly Game Show Network). The base audience is evangelicals, said consulting producer Maura Dunbar, but she hopes it will appeal to a broader audience, including nonbelievers.

?I think people of faith will have a very good comfort level, and I think this is an opportunity for all of us to hopefully open up the Bible to new audiences and engagement,? Dunbar said.

Comedian Jeff Foxworthy, coming from Fox?s quiz show, ?Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?,? will host the Bible challenge. Foxworthy describes himself as a Christian, and details attending Bible study with friends on the American Bible Challenge website.

The show tests biblical knowledge in culture, history, literature and current events. In one segment, players try to differentiate ?the Word of the Lord? from ?the Lord of the Rings? and identify whether a character comes from the Bible or Star Wars.

?We find ways to open up the biblical word to references that I think make it easy to relate to,? Dunbar said. ?We had fun with the content, never poking fun at the content.?

Dunbar is chief content officer of Odyssey Networks, which co-produces the show and has produced Hallmark Channel films based on Christian novels like Angela Hunt?s ?The Note? and Beverly Lewis? ?The Shunning.?

The show brings together the religious message of the multifaith Odyssey Networks, the storytelling of ?Extreme Makeover: Home Edition? producer Tom Forman, and the technical expertise of?Embassy Row, which produced ?The Glee Project? and ?The Newlywed Game.?

Religion-themed television can be a gamble for networks.

ABC canceled ?GCB,? after its unpopular inaugural season. Based on the novel ?Good Christian Bitches? by Kim Gatlin, the show garnered controversy for its title?and raunchy depictions of Christian women.

National Geographic Channel?s ?American Colony: Meet the Hutterites,? was accused of exploiting the Montana Anabaptist faith community, first by Hutterites outside the colony, and later by colony leaders.

But some shows with religious themes have staying power. Episodes of ?7th Heaven,? a show about a family with a minister father, spanned a decade.

Producers face an interesting challenge in creating a Christian game show for an American audience.

A 2010 Pew survey found atheists and agnostics, Jews and Mormons showed the highest levels of overall religious knowledge in the United States.

Mormons scored highest on specific biblical knowledge, followed by white evangelical Protestants, atheists and agnostics, black Protestants, and Jews. White mainline Protestants and Catholics scored the lowest.

A poll by the American Bible Society ? which sponsors the show ? found 85 percent of Americans own a Bible. About one-quarter read the Bible several times a week or every day. However, the same percentage never reads it. The majority reads the Bible less than once a month.

Readers of the New International Version (NIV) translation might want to play along ? it?s the official Bible of the show.

Viewers can catch ?The American Bible Challenge? Thursdays at 8 p.m. on GSN.

Can Someone Please Figure out What Mobile Satellite Communications Is?

Request any 20 people on the street what they know about the mobile satellite tv communications business, 10 will certainly say "you suggest like Run or Verizon?" Several will ask "like Meal Network, you mean satellite television?" Other will just give you a blank stare. Probably you'll find One particular person who offers heard of Iridium..."oh sure, that mobile satellite telephone gadget thing"? Hooray, thanks for not complicated it while using chemical element of atomic quantity 77.

The mobile satellite communications business really came from back in the past due 1970's while Inmarsat rolled out the very first commercially available marketing and sales communications satellite. 2 decades later, there was less than 2million customers globally, today, nevertheless less than Two million end users around the world. Inmarsat, still the most important of all of the commercially accessible communications satellite constellations, did about 250 trillion dollars within revenue a year ago..., not very much compared to other industries, especially when you concentrate on the huge purchase (billions of bucks) required to start and maintain these types of very expensive and sophisticated constellations (satellites)!

Mobile Satellite communications is the "definition" of the niche organization. Almost with out fail, if there is ANY other option available, mobile phones, land lines, A couple of juice containers and a line, smoke indicators, you name it, it's going to be less expensive as compared to satellite. Blend the "sticker shock" which generally refers to one's initial exposure to satellite television communications with all the "perceived" complexity in the product and also you've long gone a long way in the direction of explaining the reason for the constrained market. We have not even mentioned the fact that many people seldom if ever even head to the realm where there aren't any landlines as well as cell phones obtainable and therefore don't have any reason in order to ever be confronted with this different form of communicating.

So why can the sat com industry exist, if there aren't lots of customers plus they don't create that much revenue? Because the people that need it REALLY need it, and they are willing to pay it off because additional options don't exist. Mobile Satellite tv communications is obviously the choice of last measure for anyone who requires communicating throughout remote elements of the world, but just the same, it is a alternative. It is the center of the transport industry, coal and oil exploration as well as recovery, unexpected emergency and disaster relief procedures, aircraft marketing communications and course-plotting. It has an absolutely crucial role inside military operations throughout the world. It's not too much of the stretch to convey that lifestyle as we know that today would be very different when it were not regarding satellite sales and marketing communications. It touches EVERYONE, if they realize it you aren't.

Parasitic wasps remember better if reward is greater

ScienceDaily (Aug. 22, 2012) ? Two parasitic wasp species show similar memory consolidation patterns in response to rewards of different quality, providing evidence that the reward value affects the type of memory that is consolidated. The full results are reported Aug. 22 in the open access journal PLOS ONE.

The researchers, led by Marjolein Kruidhof of the Netherlands Institute of Ecology, tested how wasps store scents associated with situations of low reward (egg-laying into a inferior-quality host species that lays single eggs) versus high reward (egg-laying into a superior-quality host species that lays egg clusters) in their brain.

They found that both wasp species behaved similarly, retaining memory for the scent associated with the high reward scenario to a greater extent compared to the low reward scenario.

They write that this behavior makes sense given the energetic cost of consolidating shorter-lasting memory forms into long-term, consolidated memories, which may only be advantageous if the benefit is sufficiently high.

Somm Gregory Alonzo: Dolcetto Dogliani ? My Daily Drinker ...

Italy?s Piedmont region is surrounded on three sides by the majestic alps. From striking mountain peaks to rolling hills, long summer days, and refreshing nights, this is a land of? noble of wines. In fact, Italy is a land of a multitude of wines. Over the years I have learned that the count ranges from 2000-3500. Oftentimes when I quote these numbers I am also reminded that only about 700 varietals are used to produce wines of repute.

Today I am joined by fellow sommelier and longtime friend, Serena Dutto. She is a graduate of Italy?s prestigious, Associazione Italia Sommelier (AIS). Serena invited me to her hometown of Dogliani, in the Cuneo region, to experience some of the local wines. Serena is also fluent in the local dialects of Piedmontese and Occitan. I know that the week will not only be filled with interesting wines, but a strong dose of local history and Serena?s flair for the lifestyle of Piedmontese.

From our terrace view of the Osteria Vineria il Torchio, we are free to enjoy the tranquility of this lovely town of less than 5000 people. Dogliani dates back to the 16th century, and wine cultivation in the surrounding hills, dates back to pre-Roman times. A time when the Etruscans were the dominate peoples.

?I love to sit here, drink wine, and thank God I returned home.? Serena quietly smiled.

?Come now, Rome could not have been all that bad,? I queried. ?After all you were a sommelier in one of the ?Eternal City?s? finest restaurants.

Serena patted me on the hand and changed the subject, ?Let?s drink some wine.?

Sensing her discomfort and reluctance to further discuss the topic, I nodded in agreement. ?Dolcetto??

?Dolcetto Dogliani,? Serena was quick to correct me.

Dolcetto is a lovely wine that dates back to the late 16th century. It is a black wine grape varietal grown throughout the Piedmont region. The translation means ?little sweet one.? I first discovered Dolcetto? back in my university days at the Claremont Colleges. Unfortunately, I misunderstood the name, I assumed it was sweet. Since my date loved sweet wine, I thought I?d be a hit. She did not care for the wine and I did not fair much better. However, I found my daily drinker. Since then, I have been having a long running love affair with my ?little sweet one.?

No one is quite sure how the name Dolcetto came about. Certainly not with regard to the wine?s sugar levels. Dolcetto is typically dry. The wine can be tannic and fruity, and drinks best after 1 to 2 years after release. Serena, along with the majority of the local population believe that the name Dolcetto is derived from the hills where the vine thrives.

?Gregorio,? she paused to collect her thoughts. ?We need to explain to our readers why Dolcetto Dogliani is simply the best.?

When most Americans are first introduced to Dolcetto, oftentimes their first exposure is to the wines of D?Alba. Though this is area is renown for viticulture, the Dolcetto that is produced is just not as bold as the wines of Dogliani. Many of the wines of Dogliani are ?Superiore.? A designation that pertains to wines aged a minimum of 14 months. Wines from D?Alba are meant to be drunk young and are an excellent choice for pizza and pasta dishes.

?Ah, our food and our first wine has arrived.? Serena looked over our table ensuring that all was just as she instructed. To my delight, there was an array of salty cured meats, pungent cheeses, and Serena?s favorite, tajamin. This is a local pasta from Langhe, and found more often in homes rather than restaurants.

?What is our first selection??

?I know you will be pleased with this one,? Serena smiled with anticipation. ?A Romana Carlo 2003.? She then filled our glasses and toasted, ?Cin cin. Did you know that this informal toast originates from the sound that the two glasses make when they are touched together??

?But of course,? I smiled. ?The wine is excellent. This single-vineyard Dolcetto is concentrated and juicy.?

?I agree, a most impressive wine. I especially like the way the raspberry and black cherry flavors have rounded out.?

I smiled in agreement. ?An earthy wine indeed. The finely polished tannins and good palate length make for a sophisticated mouthfeel. The finish is strikingly long and textured with excellent depth of flavor. I?d say about 13.5%?

?Gregorio, I think you will be equally pleased with our second selection,? Serena was quick to present the bottle. ? A Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2003.?

This is a top-notch Dolcetto. Virtually every year the wines of Einaudi feature masses of? bold dark fruit. Black cherries, plums, and some hints of spice.?

?I also pick up the hint of cinnamon and clove. There are also some tarry notes that I know you enjoy,? Serena smiled.

?This is a big , full-bodied tannic Dolcetto at 13% alcohol and drinks very well.?

?Luigi Einaudi is the oldest wine-making company in Dogliani. They have been making interesting wines since they bought the San Giancomo estate back in 1897.?

?Interesting,? I nodded in approval. ?What is our final selection??

?Our first wine would be priced at under $20 a bottle. My second choice would be closer to $30 per bottle. I decided to not concern myself with price on our final selection.?

Now I was intrigued. Sitting at the edge of my seat, I could hardly wait to see what Serena had selected for our enjoyment.

?I selected? a Poderi Luigi Einudi 2006 I Filari.?

This is an exceptional expression of Dolcetto. The wine is filled with licorice and earthy aromas. The palate is somewhat intense and laced with boysenberry flavors that linger on the long finish. This wine is 14% alcohol and would definitely benefit from a couple of years of aging.

Being quite familiar with this wine I flashed Serena a quick smile. ?Not overly expensive. I?d say about $45 a bottle.?

?Remember Gregorio, the average person is buying Dolcetto as a daily drinker or a wine to go with pizza and pasta,? Serena said flatly.

?True, but over the past decade Dolcetto has gained in repute.?

?Possibly, I just feel that someone who is interested in the wines of Piedmont will always???? think first of Barolo or possibly Barbaresco.? Serena?s tone bordered on insistent.

?You forget that as much as I love Barolo, I first discovered Dolcetto.?

Serena flashed me a quick grin. ?I think you discovered Dolcetto before you could afford Barolo.?

Joining her merriment, I nodded in agreement. ?Shall we make a move??

?I feel like eating some torta dei tetti and introducing you to some of our more obscure local wines.?

?But that my friends is a different story ?

With end of long strike at Caterpillar, a blow to US labor movement

Machinists striking against Caterpillar since May 1 have voted to accept a new labor contract that calls for concessions on benefits and a virtual freeze on wages. It's not much to cheer for manufacturing workers, analysts say.

By Richard Mertens,?Correspondent / August 20, 2012

In this Aug. 15 photo, striking members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers wave to passing motorists that honked their horns outside the Caterpillar Inc., plant in Joliet, Ill. The bitter strike ended Friday, as workers at the plant in Joliet, agreed to numerous concessions, including a virtual pay freeze.

Enlarge

The end of a machinists' strike at Caterpillar Inc., after a 3-1/2-month standoff, not only points to the weakened state of the American labor movement, but also bodes poorly for the manufacturing worker ? even those in high-skill jobs that many say are the future of manufacturing in the US.

The bitter strike ended Friday, as workers at a plant in Joliet, Ill., agreed to numerous concessions, including a virtual pay freeze. Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers had been on strike against Caterpillar, one of the world?s largest heavy equipment manufacturers,?since May 1.

?It?s one more small piece of evidence that the lower half of the income distribution is struggling while the people at the very top are faring quite well,? says Richard Hurd, a professor of labor studies at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y.

The workers agreed to concessions that have become familiar in labor negotiations throughout American manufacturing. The six-year contract froze pay for older and higher-paid workers and granted a 3 pecent raise for newer, lower-paid workers. Like many manufacturers, Caterpillar pays newer workers at a lower wage scale than older workers. Workers at the Joliet plant, which builds hydraulic components for heavy machinery, earn wages ranging from $11.50 to $28 an hour.

Workers also agreed to Caterpillar?s demand that they pay more for their health insurance and switch from a defined benefit pension plant to 401(k)s. Each worker will receive a $3,100 bonus for ratifying a new contract.

The machinists? defeat suggests that ?wages in manufacturing will be flat in the foreseeable future,? says?Michael LeRoy, a professor of labor relations at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Analysts say they were surprised by one twist in the dispute: The concessions were demanded not by a company struggling to survive, as US auto makers were in 2008 and 2009 when auto workers agreed to concessions to help keep American car manufacturing afloat, but by a thriving firm. Indeed, Caterpillar is earning record profits, including a profit of $1.7 billion in the second quarter of this year, 67 percent higher than a year ago. Last year top executives also received hefty raises.

The machinists had previously rejected two offers from Caterpillar, but the strike?s length had begun to wear them down. About 780 workers went on strike, and union officials conceded that more than 100 had since crossed the picket line to return to work. Striking workers had received $150 a week in strike benefits from the union.

Justin Vincent ? It&#39;s Time for an Open Twitter

Anti-Competitive

I like Twitter. I?ve been trying to build a business on Twitter?s platform for the past 3 years. However, their most recent announcement of new rules and regulations has stunned me.

Twitter has the power to topple regimes, but by following advertising dollars they are building a walled garden and making anti-competative decisions. It does not bode well for our world that such a commercially driven company should wield so much power and be the epicenter of global conversation.

Non-Profit

In the same way Wikipedia is a non-profit democratization of knowledge, we need a non-profit democratization of global real-time-messaging.

Dalton Caldwell has an interesting idea, but I don?t think it will end the Twitter monopoly due to being pay-to-play. For example, I doubt app.net will bring free-for-all freedom-of-speech to the third world.

In my opinion, the best scenario would be for a new uncensored non-profit organization to offer a free, global, robust, API for real-time-messaging.

sky.net

For the sake of this article, let?s call this new service, sky.net and assume it has millions of dollars of donations to keep it running (think Wikipedia).

sky.net could quickly win a huge amount of users due to the overwhelming power of geeks and influencers talking about it, blogging about it, building awesome software clients, and letting everyone know that sky.net was the best option for a free global chat stream.

The market segmentation could look much like Android and iOS. Especially because sky.net would be free to use, with no developer restrictions, a new global chat-stream, free/paid apps available on all devices. No restrictions.

Monopoly

The sad fact is that right now Twitter has the right, and the power, to shape global conversation and change our world. Unfortunately their commercial interests are not truly aligned with the responsibility they are entrusted. We need an impartial non-profit company to take Twitter?s place and become the true real-time-messaging backbone of the internet.

The current situation, with Twitter owning real-time-messaging is like saying ATT owns email, or Facebook owns the internet.

Let?s be clear, Twitter created a free ubiquitous protocol for all to use, and then they withdrew access to it and claimed it for themselves. In other words, they created a single protocol and invited the open market to create multi-variant clients to use it (just like email, or http).

How can one commercial company be allowed to own a protocol such as http or email? Furthermore, Twitter?s new terms and conditions have made some astonishing demands and rules that seem to show the true color of the companies leadership. For example they forbid intermingling between Twitter and other social networks on the same screen.

Geeks Have The Power

If we, as geeks, could build awesome apps and use our influence to promote and get a critical mass into sky.net, it could be a defining moment for the internet when free-speech and anti-walled garden ideals won-out.

Interestingly, Twitter?s own greedy move of limiting 3rd party clients to a maximum of 100,000 users ensures that existing (and new) client developers would make every effort to move to a system like sky.net.

Funding

After reaching critical mass (of say 100m users) it would be easy for sky.net to maintain donations and funding. After all, if an API developer was making millions of profit (think Hootsuite, Datasift) they would have a very high motivation to regularly donate to sky.net to ensure its upkeep. However, they would not be unable to alter the non-profit manifesto of sky.net. Philanthropists may also consider donating to sky.net in the name of unbiased and open free speech. It?s also worth mentioning that with new open source scaling technology, sky.net might be comparatively inexpensive to run.

Ecosystem & Investment

If sky.net really existed it would be a more secure option for any company or investor that is doing business with Twitter today. The sky.net manifesto would be rock solid and would ensure that an unbiased free market prevailed. It would also ensure that API capabilities would not be pulled from under any responsible developers feet. The investment surge that happened during early Twitter days could be free to be re-sparked due to renewed investors confidence in an unwavering unbiased platform.

sky.net would have no obligation other than to make a great API for other vendors to capitalize on, and it would not cost users or developers anything.

South Africa build steady lead on third day

Updated at 9:48 am today

England cricketer Jonny Bairstow fell five runs short of a maiden test century before South Africa safely negotiated the start of their second innings, reaching 145 for 3 at stumps on day three of the third and final test against England at Lord's.

Hashim Amla was 57 not out with nightwatchman Dale Steyn on zero as the Proteas took a lead of 139 runs, with six sessions remaining in the match and series.

England were earlier bowled out for 315 in reply to South Africa's first innings 309.

Fast bowlers Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn did most of the damage for the tourists picking up four wickets each.

England must win the match to square the series and prevent South Africa leapfrogging them at the top of the world rankings.
