California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) on Tuesday announced a $315
million plan to expand the state prison system’s capacity by thousands
of beds, allowing the state to comply with a federal court order to
sharply reduce the population of its overcrowded facilities by the end
of the year. <br />
Under the governor’s plan, the state would move some 12,000 inmates
from overcrowded state prisons into private prisons and county jails.
During a press conference in Sacramento on Tuesday, Brown portrayed the
plan as necessary to ensure “public safety,” noting that it would allow
California to meet the court requirements without releasing prisoners.<br />
But critics say the cost of Brown's expansion is likely to sap
much-needed funds from schools and social service agencies. They insist
the state could release thousands of low-level prisoners without
endangering the public.<br />
“The governor’s proposal is a plan with no promise and no hope,”
state Sen. Darrell Steinberg (D), the Senate president pro tem, said in a
statement. “As the population of California grows, it's only a short
matter of time until new prison cells overflow and the court demands
mass releases again."<br />
California's prison system is one of the largest and most crowded in
the country. The governor’s plan, which still needs legislative
approval, would create enough space to comply with a 2009 order by a
panel of federal judges, who ruled that overcrowding was jeopardizing
the health and safety of inmates. The order, which the U.S. Supreme
Court this month<a href="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/08/03/supreme-court-orders-california-to-free-thousands-of-inmates-from-overcrowded-prisons/" target="_hplink"> refused to review</a>, gives the state until Dec. 31 to reduce the population of its facilities by about 10,000 inmates.<br />
In an<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/22/jerry-brown-prisons-private_n_3799519.html" target="_hplink"> unconventional move</a>,
private prisons targeted for the expansion would be staffed with state
employees, an arrangement that would allow the governor and his allies
in the legislature to avoid a politically risky confrontation with the
state’s <a href="http://ordinary-gentlemen.com/blog/2011/06/05/the-role-of-the-prison-guards-union-in-californias-troubled-prison-system" target="_hplink">powerful prison guard union</a>.

Ever wonder how you can disappear and start over? You just need some to have some expertise, a plan, and be methodical.

Goldman Sachs has a new report out on the tech titans'
competing platforms and ecosystems in which it starkly quantifies
Microsoft's loss of share among computing devices over the last decade.<br />
According to the report, Microsoft's operating systems have gone from
97 percent of all computing devices in 2000 -- back when desktop and
laptop PCs were dominant -- to 20 percent expected in 2012 -- when PCs,
tablets and smartphones are all part of the computing-device picture.<br />
Here's a chart from the report showing part of that shift. (The chart
shows consumer computing devices, rather than total computing devices
-- which includes both consumer and commercial. That's why Microsoft is
shown is having 93 percent in 2000 in the chart, as opposed to 97
percent.)<br />

<br />
<br />
DALLAS -- On Thanksgiving afternoon, as freshly stuffed Americans
prepared for the shopping bacchanal known as Black Friday, hundreds of
Walmart workers readied themselves for a wholly different experience:
joining strikes and labor actions planned for the next two days at some
1,000 Walmart stores around the country.<br />
Here in Dallas, as well as in Miami and the San Francisco area,
Walmart employees were planning to walk off work and demonstrate early
Thursday evening, as shoppers began to arrive in pursuit of the
ultra-cheap deals known as doorbusters. The strikers sought to protest
low wages and a lack of benefits, while also challenging what they
allege has been a pattern of Walmart's retaliation against workers who
try to organize. They hoped to use the Black Friday spotlight to sway
shoppers to their side.<br />
"It's a question of education," said Josue Mata, a maintenance worker
at Walmart in Wheatland, Texas, and a member of OUR Walmart, the labor
group that is coordinating the strikes. "We have to show people that
we're not just a crazy bunch of protesters."<br />

<h2>
Support the Walmart Black Friday Strikers!</h2>
It's time to take a stand and support the workers who are standing up to live better through an unfair labor practice strike.<br />
<br />
Walmart workers <a href="http://www.salon.com/2012/10/10/walmart_strikers_raise_the_stakes_with_black_friday_ultimatum/?utm_source=OccupyWallSt.org&utm_campaign=edb7a1e66d-Walmart_strikers11_14_2012&utm_medium=email">decided to strike on Black Friday</a>
after they were targeted for retaliation for speaking out about
substandard work conditions and treatment last month in the first ever
walk out in the history of the company.<br />
<br />
We ask you to help us feed the workers who will walk out on the company next week on the biggest shopping day of the year.<br />

<a href="https://www.wepay.com/donations/walmart-strikers-food-fund?utm_source=OccupyWallSt.org&utm_campaign=edb7a1e66d-Walmart_strikers11_14_2012&utm_medium=email">https://www.wepay.com/donations/walmart-strikers-food-fund</a><br />
<h3>
<strong>The workers are demanding the following from Walmart:</strong></h3>
<ol>
<li>
<strong>Improve Workers’ Lives</strong><br />
Pay a minimum of $25,000/year and guarantee quality, affordable health
coverage for all Walmart associates and workers in the company’s US
distribution chain.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>
<strong>Rebuild Communities</strong><br />
Sign on to a national community benefits agreement that ensures as
Walmart expands into new markets, it strengthens communities, protects
the environment and is responsible for the well-being of its employees
in its retail stores and US supply and distribution chain.<br />
</li>
<li>
<strong>Put Its Promises in Writing</strong><br />
Agree to a global labor agreement guaranteeing the fundamental human
right of freedom of association for all of its associates and instruct
their suppliers to do the same, and recognize and negotiate with <a href="http://forrespect.org/">OUR Walmart</a>.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>
<strong>Elevate Global Living Standards</strong><br />
Establish a legally binding global responsible contractor policy
requiring contractors and subcontractors to provide living wages, worker
safety protections, and respect basic human and labor rights, including
freedom of association and freedom from racial and gender
discrimination.<br />
<br />
</li>
</ol>
<strong>How can I support in other ways?</strong> <br />
You can join solidarity actions throughout the United States. Find
out which solidarity actions are being organized and the store employees
that are participating by going to the <a href="http://www.corporateactionnetwork.org/campaigns/black-friday/events">Corporate Action Network event page</a>.<br />
<br />
“The only thing workers have to bargain with is their skill or their
labor. Denied the right to withhold it as a last resort, they become
powerless. The strike is therefore not a breakdown of collective
bargaining-it is the indispensable cornerstone of that process." -- <a href="http://lser.la.psu.edu/people/facultyprofiles/p_clark.shtml">Paul Clark</a><br />

WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Wednesday is
expected to be grilled about negotiations to avert a looming "fiscal
cliff" and the scandal that brought down CIA director David Petraeus
when he holds his first news conference since winning a second term.<br /> <br />Obama
will have little time to savor his decisive Nov. 6 victory over
Republican Mitt Romney as he takes questions from the White House press
corps for the first time in months in an encounter in the ornate East
Room, starting at 1:30 p.m. EST (1830 GMT).<br /> <br />The
White House had hoped to use the news conference to mobilize public
support for Obama's economic agenda in the face of a showdown with
congressional Republicans over an economy-shaking package of tax
increases and deep spending cuts set to kick in at year-end unless a
deal is reached.<br />

<b><span style="color: maroon;"></span><br />13 November 2012</b>, by Raymond Wong (BGR)<a href="http://bgr.com/2012/11/13/foxconn-robots-arrive-worker-replacements/" target="_blank">bgr.com/</a><br /><br /><b>Foxconn

promised, the first batch of 10,000 “Foxbots” have already made an
appearance in one Chinese factory, with 20,000 more planned by the end
of the year.<br /><br />The Foxconn-built Foxbots are estimated to cost
between $20,000 and $25,000, but reportedly aren’t good for anything
beyond repetitive tasks that involve item “lifting, selecting and
placement.”<br /><br />The mechanical arm-like Foxbots are likely not
capable of producing products such as the iPhone 5 that require
extremely intricate assembly.<br /><br />With 1.2 million employees, and 1 million robots planned, the big question is how many workers will actually be put out of work?<br /><br />After all, Foxconn will still need people to oil up the Foxbots if they ever malfunction.</div>

14 Nov 2012
Unemployment in the UK has fallen to its lowest level for over a year, but the number of people claiming jobseeker's allowance showed its sharpest rise since September last year.
The numbers claiming jobless benefit rose by 10,100 last month.
It believed the increase is due to the jobs boost from the summer Olympics having faded.
The number of people without a job fell by almost 50,000 in the three months to September.

financial condition is rapidly deteriorating, and City Hall could run
out of cash in December, an official told a state oversight board
Monday.</b><br /><br />City program management director William Andrews made
the assessment at a meeting of the Financial Advisory Board, a
city-state panel overseeing Detroit’s finances under its fiscal
stability agreement with the state.<br /><br />Detroit’s cash-flow crisis is
“more challenging than it’s ever been and more challenged than we
reported last month,” Andrews said.<br /><br />The city must find new
revenue sources, he said, blaming the worsening outlook on rising
medical expenses and lower receipts from taxes and other revenue sources
than the city had previously projected.<br /><br />“Those aren’t materializing,” Andrews said.<br /><br />Projections show Detroit’s cash on hand dropping as low as $3.6 million by Dec. 21. It stood at $53 million on Friday.<br /><br />To
keep afloat, the state will be asked to release about $30 million in
bond funding from an escrow account under the consent agreement.<br /><br />But
before they cut a check, Lansing will want the City Council to allow an
independent firm to look through the city’s operations for more money.<br /><br />Advisory
board chairwoman Sandy Pierce said that despite Michigan voters’ repeal
last week of the state’s emergency manager law, the financial stability
agreement and the advisory board remain intact.<br /><br />But she said
Detroit may no longer impose new contracts or employment terms or reject
collective bargaining agreements unilaterally.<br /><br />The primary
foundation of the consent agreement wasn’t the now-repealed Public Act
4, but rather a state law on intergovernmental agreements and related
state laws.<br /><br />After hearing from Andrews, the board began a closed
session to discuss the impact of the repeal of the emergency manager law
on Detroit’s consent agreement.<br /><br />Mayor Dave Bing and four City Council members participated.<br /><br />Bing and Gov. Rick Snyder agreed in April on state oversight as an alternative to a state financial takeover.<br /><br />The nine-member oversight board held its first meeting in June.<br /><br />Last month, Bing said city wouldn’t run out of cash later this year as efforts to cut costs and restructure services move ahead.<br /><br />But he expressed dissatisfaction with slowed progress on fixing the city’s finances.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2482827198407125492.post-74072513735892127622012-11-14T09:10:00.004-08:002012-11-14T09:11:01.286-08:00AZ woman runs down husband with car for not voting: police<br />

<br />
An Arizona woman, in despair at the re-election of Democratic
President Barack Obama, ran down her husband with the family car in
suburban Phoenix on Saturday because he failed to vote in the election,
police said on Monday.<br />
<br />
Holly Solomon, 28, was arrested after
running over husband Daniel Solomon following a wild chase that left him
pinned underneath the vehicle.<br />
<br />
Daniel Solomon, 36, was in
critical condition at a local hospital, but is expected to survive,
Gilbert police spokesman Sergeant Jesse Sanger said.<br />
<br />
Police said
Daniel Solomon told them his wife became angry over his "lack of voter
participation" in last Tuesday's presidential election and believed her
family would face hardship as a result of Obama winning another term.<br />
<br />
Witnesses
reported the argument broke out on Saturday morning in a parking lot
and escalated. Mrs Solomon then chased her husband around the lot with
the car, yelling at him as he tried to hide behind a light pole, police
said. He was struck after attempting to flee to a nearby street.<br />

<br />
Former CIA Director David Petraeus has agreed to testify about the
Libya terror attack before the House and Senate intelligence committees,
Fox News has learned.<br />
<br />
Petraeus had originally been scheduled to testify this Thursday on
the burgeoning controversy over the deadly Sept. 11 attack. That
appearance was scuttled, though, after the director abruptly resigned
over an extramarital affair.<br />
<br />
The resignation has since expanded into a sprawling scandal that now
includes allegations that Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in
Afghanistan, exchanged "inappropriate" and sexually charged emails with
Jill Kelley, a Florida socialite linked to the Petraeus case. The rapid
developments in the case have all but obscured what until last week was
an intense debate on Capitol Hill and beyond over the Benghazi terror
attack.<br />
<br />
After Petraeus' resignation, lawmakers complained that the scandal
was no reason they shouldn't hear from the man at the helm of the CIA
when CIA operatives came under attack alongside State Department
employees in Benghazi last month. <br />

<a class="l" href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2012/11/14/europe-strike-austerity-unions/1704079/"><em><br /></em></a></h3>
<h3 class="r" style="white-space: normal;">
<em> </em><span class="last-updated">0:41AM EST November 14. 2012 - </span>BARCELONA
— Flights and trains were canceled across Europe on Wednesday as
thousands of workers took to the streets to protest austerity measures
aimed at reducing massive government deficits and boosting shaky
economies.</h3>
"We all know that reforms, layoffs and cuts will
continue but maybe we manage to get them cut (more slowly)," said
Francisco Vallejo, 41, an administrative assistant in Madrid. "The only
strike that is useless is the one we don't follow."<br />
<br />
Unions had
called for strikes across Europe to protest the trimming of
government-funded salaries and pension benefits, which had risen
dramatically over the years and led to significant debt problems in some
countries.<br />
The call to strike was heeded by many in Italy and
Spain; but union workers in Britain, Germany and Denmark held rallies
instead of walking off the job.<br />
<br />
Transport hubs were at standstill
across southern Europe and in Brussels as airports and train stations
shut down. Clashes between protesters and police were reported in Spain
and Italy but demonstrations remained largely peaceful. World stock
markets were mixed Wednesday.<br />
<br />
The so-called austerity measures
comprise spending cuts, tax hikes and changes to labor laws to allow
businesses to better adjust to shaky economies. But several governments
and many workers worry that the measures may worsen economies by driving
down individual incomes.<br />
<br />
The protests Wednesday brought out people who blame the economic system as a whole. <br />

G-20 protester</h1>
A Toronto prosecutor has withdrawn
all charges against a Kitchener activist accused of harassing two
undercover police officers who infiltrated activist groups before the
G-20 summit.<br />
<br />
Prosecutor Jason Miller withdrew
charges of harassment, intimidation and counselling to commit assault
against Dan Kellar in Toronto on Thursday.<br />
<br />
Kellar had also been charged with
defamatory libel for comments he made on a university-based website
about the two undercover OPP officers.<br />
<br />
He called officer Bindo Showan, who
went by the name Khalid Mohamed, “a piece of filth’’ and urged others to
“spit in his footsteps.’’<br />
<br />
That charge was withdrawn earlier and new charges of harassing and intimidating the officers were laid.<br />
Kellar said Thursday that the charges were “absurd’’ and “politically motivated.’’<br />
<br />
“They got dropped because they were baseless and were meant to punish me,’’ he said. “I got arrested for criticizing the police.<br />
<br />
“They’re using the legal system as their own tool to punish people extralegally, whether they did anything wrong or not.’’<br />

</div>
Thousands of soldiers in civilian dress have marched through Lisbon
in protest of the austerity program that's part and parcel of the
country's 2013 budget.<br />
An estimated 10,000 active and retired military personnel rallied
against the "unjustified cutbacks," calling for President Anibal Cavaco
Silva to veto the controversial austerity budget adopted by the
center-right government. The quiet march carried banners calling to
respect the military and "national sovereignty."<br />
<i>"We are getting cut after cut and there is no light at the end of the tunnel," </i>one soldier told AFP.<br />
Some officers complained that their monthly wages have been cut as much as 25 per cent.<br />
Besides
focusing on the military problems, such as a decline in finances for
maintenance and training, the march also targeted disagreements over
cuts to the social sphere, as well as tax hikes.<br />

</div>
A number of associations representing the
military called on the country’s Constitutional Court to review the
legality of next year's budget.<br />
In July, the court ruled against a
finance law and told the government to revise the measure, which
stripped bonuses from civil servants, arguing that it violated
constitutionally-guaranteed rights to equal treatment. Activists hope
for a similar outcome with the austerity budget.<br />

The city has settled a lawsuit brought by three <a href="http://www.gothamist.com/tags/occupywallstreet">Occupy Wall Street</a> protestors who <a href="http://gothamist.com/2012/03/12/nypd_surveillance_extends_to_occupy.php">accused the NYPD of arresting them without cause</a>,
detaining them for almost 24 hours, and forcing them through a
humiliating strip search. On November 17th 2011, 20-year-old Kira
Moyer-Sims was buying coffee on the Lower East Side while three friends
waited in a nearby car. Suddenly 30 police officers swooped in and
arrested them, and later drilled them on their relationship with the
movement while they were in custody. “I felt like I had been arrested
for a thought crime,” Moyer-Sims <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/12/nyregion/occupy-wall-street-protesters-complain-of-police-monitoring.html?_r=2&hp">said at the time</a>. Taxpayers will now give her $15,000 to make up for it.<br />
According to the settlement, the city will pay $50,000 total to
Moyer-Sims, Angela Richino, and Matthew Vrvilo. (It's unclear what
happened to the fourth person arrested.) All the plaintiffs in the civil
lawsuit had been charged with obstructing governmental
administration—charges that were later dropped by the DA's office. <br />
"They were arrested on the belief that they were about to go to a protest," their attorney <a href="http://www.pawarlaw.com/">Vijayant Pawar</a>
tells us. "But they were not going to a protest. So either the NYPD was
following them for quite some time or the NYPD just thought they looked
like protestors. But they were far away from the protest when they were
picked up by the NYPD Intelligence Division and arrested and held for
24 hours."<br />
Pawar says his clients are satisfied with the settlement, but that it
doesn't make up for the NYPD's actions. Asked to confirm that they were
in fact Occupy Wall Street protesters, Pawar argued that such
classifications missed the point. "Were they with OWS?" Pawar asked. "I
don't know that you can paint someone with that brush. They had not been
arrested before and have not been arrested since then. They were not
going to protest that day. Were they part of the OWS movement? It's hard
to say who is."</div>

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- If you're thinking about getting your GED, you
may want to do it soon because it's about to get a lot harder and a good
deal more expensive.<br />
<br />
The national <a href="http://blog.al.com/live/2010/10/alabama_department_of_postseco.html">GED test gives high school dropouts who pass the test the equivalent of a high school diploma</a>.
The five-part exam will undergo a complete redesign Jan. 1, 2014, that
will do away with pencil and paper and make it an entirely
computer-based test with multiple choice, short answer and essay
questions.<br />
It also will be more closely aligned with the new
college and career ready standards, making it more difficult, said Kim
Lee, vice chancellor for adult education for the <a href="http://www.accs.cc/ged.aspx">Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education</a>. The current test was revised slightly in 2002 but this will be the first major overhaul in the GED's nearly 70-year history.<br />
The General Education Development test is a national norm reference exam currently developed by the nonprofit <a href="http://www.gedtestingservice.com/ged-testing-service">GED Testing Services. </a>It
has been purchased by the for-profit Pearson Vue Testing company, which
will do away with the written format of the test, and make it a
computer based exam that still will be timed.<br />
That means programs that offer preparatory classes for the GED will need to focus on keyboarding skills, Lee said.<br />
"Keyboarding is definitely an issue," she said.<br />
The
cost of the exam - currently $50 in Alabama - will likely triple, Lee
said. The state Board of Education still must approve the cost increase,
she said, but it looks like the recommendation will be to increase the
cost charged to the test-taker to $150.<br />
The new test will give two
separate scores: one for high school curriculum knowledge and the other
for college or career readiness.<br />

<b>By cheating against Ron Paul, Mitt Romney won the nomination, but lost the election.</b><br />
<b>We have recorded videos of vote fraud, delegate intimidation, hidden and stolen votes. Even police power was being used to control our political process. </b><br />
<br />
<b>The duly elected delegates from Massachusetts, who would not vote for Romney, were SIMPLY UNSEATED AND REMOVED, and then replaced by other delegates, </b> <b>The duly elected Maine delegates were unseated, and replaced, after they had already traveled to Tampa. View:</b><br />

<b> </b> <b> </b> <b> </b><br />
<b>At the Louisiana GOP State Convention a properly elected 70 yr old handicapped delegate was attacked by police. His hip was broken, and he was taken away on a stretcher.</b><br />
<b> </b> <b> </b> <b>State and county conventions were shut down, without a motion to adjourn, when Ron Paul supporters were in the majority. <br /></b> <b> </b><br />

<b>This video was made on August 28, 2012 during the vote on the new controversial RNC rules. It shows the PREDETERMINED SCRIPT of the proceedings of the Republican National Convention, INCLUDING THE OUTCOME OF THE VOTING. They refused to actually counts votes, but simply ruled that “the ayes have it” as the teleprompter instructed them to do.

<b>RULE NUMBER ONE: </b><br />
<b>ALL DECISIONS WILL BE MADE BY THE POWER ELITES PRIOR TO THE CONVENTION.</b><br />

<b>ALL OTHER RULES WILL BE CHANGED TO CONFORM WITH RULE NUMBER ONE.</b><br />
<b> </b> <b>Congratulations Romney supporters, you just DESTROYED the Republican Party and facilitated the end of America. This is the day when the banksters quit hiding the fact that they choose our presidents, and that the American people have no say in it. The GOP lost the election by demonstrating utter corruption.

<b>ONE IS A RUTHLESS CRIME SYNDICATE, WHICH USES VIOLENCE, FRAUD, INTIMIDATION, AND TREACHERY TO GAIN AND TO HOLD POWER.</b> <b> </b><br />
<b>THE OTHER IS A SMALLER, LESS POWERFUL, CRIME ORGANIZATION THAT WAS FOUNDED IN ITALY.</b><br />
