    So, minors are arrested for an adult sending pornography to a stranger?
    Let them go. This is the adult’s fault…. gay or not.

      Trollop 7 the Teacher thought he was communicating with an adult. How would he have known it was one of his student. Your comment makes no damn sense.

      Sahiry Gnobehi: _”Your comment makes no damn sense.”_
      Allow me to explain.
      A person who never sends pics of their junk to strangers on the net could never have fallen into this trap, and so the problem would never have arisen.
      Moral: don’t send pictures of your junk to strangers on the net.

    • Posted by Keith Demons, at Reply

      Agreed. There is not reasonable expectation of privacy when you’re sending nudes to STRANGERS.
      However… I have sympathy for people who’s nudes they sent to their spouse get released. There is a reasonable expectation of privacy.

      Keith Demons: _”There is a reasonable expectation of privacy.”_
      One might desire privacy, though I’m not sure how reasonable it is to expect it when even banks are hacked on a fairly regular basis.

    Now students are preying sexually on teachers. Welcome to Trump’s America. What can we expect when our POTUS sexualized his own daughters , raped his wife and shoved his fingers in women’s vaginas without their consent. Is there any surprise that Mike Tyson, Bill Cosby and Caitlyn Jenner support Trump?

      It says here that the teacher who was tricked into sending his junk pics was a peanut allergist. Welcome back to Trump’s America.

    • Posted by Megan Schmidt, at Reply

      +james smith I doubt she’d make that up. Why wouldn’t you recant when someone far more well known and powerful than you could destroy your reputation. It’s not as simple as you’re making it out to be, if she stuck with that, there are ways to damage her and it doesn’t have to be physically. Perhaps you’re not aware that victims of some sort of abuse will often report an incident, than take it back even though what they claim happened and won’t proceed with charges. There are many reasons people take back claims of abuse, it happens every day with far less powerful people.

      2:10 — Kim’s wrong, here, saying they’re “inappropriate” pictures. It’s not my deal, but how is a 35 year old who thinks he’s sending pictures to another 35 year old “inappropriate”? –And who cares if kids snicker? You win a Nobel Prize and kids will snicker.

    • Posted by Noize Tank, at Reply

      I don’t think that’s what she’s calling inappropriate. What’s inappropriate is the kids asking for those pictures.

    • Posted by Spotted Purple, at Reply

      Robert Slackware because it’s illegal to send naked photos to twelve year olds

      There’s nothing wrong with it if you’re both consenting adults because there’s less of a power imbalance.

    • Posted by Ameranthe Kekistani, at Reply

      +Spotted Purple yeah but it’s the mens rea actus reus or whatever it is. With the cops pretending to be 12, you haven’t actually solicited anything from a 12 year old even if you intended to. I think it’s bullshit that they are allowed to do that.

    Whether the students knew it was their teacher or that if they would find their teachers on Grinder, the simple fact that they posed as a 35-year-old man clearly shows their malintent. Disguising oneself and deceiving others is in of itself a manifestation of malintent.

      Not really many young gay men who are not confident use pictures of adults to hide their identity cause they are not out of the closet or are not ready to open up about their sexuality to their schoolmates

    • Posted by teitake, at Reply

      I don’t think small lies to make oneself look a little better constitute as malice because the people do not do so with intention of causing others harm. On the other hand, these two students, together, created a single profile with 20 years of age gap. I don’t think people who intend to seek a genuine relationship conspire to create such a profile with a friend. These obvious and outrageous lies are used by con artists to exploit others. And the intention of exploiting others would constitute as malice.

    • Posted by Hoerkelis, at Reply

      teitake “small lies” if a Ana didn’t tell her husband that she got a nose job, they might get children with a huge hook nose! Heaving ugly children is worse than heaving your nudes leaked by the minors you sent them to…

    Those teens are closet homos. Why in the world if you’re going to violate a teacher’s privacy like would you choose a male teacher. In a 1000 years the thought would’ve never crossed my mind to create a fake account to try to score nekkids from my female teacher. In a million years… or more like never would it crossed my mind to try to get them from a male teacher.

    The kids should be arrested. Suspended and moved to another classroom. The teacher should be able to keep his job. The teacher did nothing wrong. So that being said the teacher shouldn’t have to change his life. I don’t think the students should be punished as far as having to register as sex offenders. I do feel they should receive a punishment stated above.

      It’s unreasonable to expect privacy when you give your nudes to strangers.
      These kids will be let go, parents will sue and win.

    • Posted by JimijaymesGuitarist, at Reply

      He could of and it would of been smarter doesnt make it any less illegal of the students. Thats like saying shops that have groceries outside of the security gates are at fault if people steal.

    • Posted by JimijaymesGuitarist, at Reply

      I agree, but lots of people still do it in nearly all the dating apps although it seems more common on the apps intended for gay males. Catfish is a great example of people impersonating and while at times the show format can be annoying (once they added graphics all the time and have heaps of shots of them holding cameras they dont seem to use) the stories are somewhat interest. I am skeptic and don’t trust people so I would never do that although I am not really bothered by public appearences of anything I deem appropriate (such as me commenting on videos and making videos). If you don’t want your parents/coworkers/boss/friends seeing it, then don’t post it anywhere don’t even back it up to the cloud, thats my view anyway but I completely understand the people that don’t share that few and still sympathize with them when trust is broken. Fraud doesn’t just exist on the internet, it is just easier to commit it online.

Unemployment Forecast: Too Much "Hope"

by Bill McBride on 7/01/2009 12:07:00 AM

From David Leonhardt at the NY Times: A Forecast With Hope Built In

In the weeks just before President Obama took office, his economic advisers made a mistake. They got a little carried away with hope.

... Without the stimulus, they saw the unemployment rate — then 7.2 percent — rising above 8 percent in 2009 and peaking at 9 percent next year. With the stimulus, the advisers said, unemployment would probably peak at 8 percent late this year.

We now know that this forecast was terribly optimistic.
Here is the January forecast with the actual data ...

Stress Test Unemployment Rate Click on graph for larger image in new window.

This graph compares the actual quarterly unemployment rate (in red) with the Obama economic forecast from January 10th: The Job Impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan

There are two possible explanations that the administration was so wrong. ... The first explanation is that the economy has deteriorated because the stimulus package failed. ... The second answer is that the economy has deteriorated in spite of the stimulus.
Very little of the stimulus has been spent so far, so it is premature to say it failed. However Romer recently was quoted in the Financial Times:
Ms Romer said stimulus spending was “going to ramp up strongly through the summer and the fall”.

“We always knew we were not going to get all that much fiscal impact during the first five to six months. The big impact starts to hit from about now onwards,” she said.

Ms Romer said that stimulus money was being disbursed at almost exactly the rate forecast by the Office of Management and Budget. “It should make a material contribution to growth in the third quarter.”
So we should see an impact in the 2nd half of 2009 ... and that starts now!

Canton-based Scitrain ltd., a leadership development company, says it has identified five global "megatrends" that will dramatically alter the workplace by 2020.

The workplace is changing and Northeast Ohio businesses need to get ready.

Canton-based Scitrain ltd., a leadership development company, says it has identified five global "megatrends" that will dramatically alter the workplace by 2020: Demographics, the "knowledge economy," globalization, digitalization and a shift in values.

The megatrends were found through a 2009 global study done by scitrain and the University of Goettingen in Germany.

Chad Luxenburg, scitrain co-founder and CEO, presented the findings last month at a presentation at Kent State University. The presentation, part of Kent's ongoing HR Forum series, included a panel discussion with other area executives.

Megatrends have been present before -- they warned us about the oncoming industrial revolution -- and those who have ignored them have done so at their own peril, Luxenburg said.

These are no exception.

"We can ignore the megatrends. We can ignore the future. We can ignore what's coming our way. Or we can embrace it. We can move forward with it," he said.

Northeast Ohio businesses especially need to make significant changes to prepare for the future, he said.

The U.S. will have to deal with its aging population. The average median age in the U.S. is 37 -- 10 years higher than the average median age of the rest of the world. That translates to a lot of older workers nearing retirement and a lack of younger ones ready to take their place, Luxenburg said.

At the same time, workers are migrating; moving not just to different states, but to different countries, for the job they want. In some developed nations, the birthrate continues to shrink, he said.

Combined, the competition to capture top talent is going to be fierce.

"If you thought the war for talent was tough (now), there's going to be a severe talent shortage in the future," Luxenburg said.

The demand for employees is going to shift bargaining power from company to worker, he said.

Employers will no longer be able to run totalitarian workplaces. Workers will have the ability to say no, and businesses won't be able to find people to replace them, he said.

Companies will also need to navigate having multiple generations in the same workplace.

There will be several generations at work. All of them brought up differently and with different ideas of how to do things, Luxenburg said.

Both older managers and young employees will need to learn to communicate with each other, said panelist Lisa Codispoti, chief people officer at software company Sage North America.

"There's a language gap... between us, and we can bridge the gap but we both have to understand each other," she said.

Sage is part of UK-based Sage Group Plc.

The ticket to future success is generating knowledge, Luxenburg said. Knowledge leads to innovation and innovation is going to be vital.

"The days of the 'me too' companies are over," he said.

A company might be able to recreate the technology of the iPhone, for example, but it won't be able to recreate the culture and people who created it, he said.

Innovation is more than just new technology, it's also about the people creating it -- a balance between the "what" and the "how," said panelist David Hollis, the Chief Human Resources Officer for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

"If you do what everybody else is doing, you're just meeting the average," Hollis said.

Emphasis on knowledge will up demand for skilled workers, Luxenburg said.

But there's a shortage of skilled workers. And the education system won't have the capacity to keep up with the demand, he said.

The future of business will be in hubs of economic power -- ecosystems, similar to Silicon Valley, that work together to make a region an economic powerhouse, Luxenburg said.

Hubs will attract multinational companies that expand out into the rest of the world.

Emerging markets like Latin America will drive that growth, he said.

Northeast Ohio has the potential to become a hub, but the area needs to compete less and cooperate more, he said. It's being held back by competition between cities and even neighborhoods.

"This region could be one of the powerhouses ... with the amount of resources we have and the amount of major firms and the great people we have right here, if we would ever come together as a region it would be truly inspirational," Luxenburg said, in a follow-up interview at scitrain's Canton headquarters.

Divided regions like that won't make it long-term, he said.

Lots of college graduates leave the region for opportunities in bigger cities. Companies have also left.

The area needs to figure out how to change that trend, he said.

"Maybe it's not them, it's us that needs to change," he said.

Competition between countries will also be replaced by competition between global cities, he said.

"It's not going to be China versus the U.S., it's going to Shanghai versus New York."

The smartphone is the workplace of the future, Luxenburg said.

Millennials and younger generations won't put up with sitting in a cubical all day when they can do their jobs just as well remotely, he said.

"It doesn't matter where you sit, it matters what you do. It matters how you collaborate," Codispoti agreed.

At the same time, social media connects people across boundaries, Luxenburg said.

Constantly being in contact has led to a free flow of information. Forget engagement surveys, he said. In the future, the most reliable source of information will be word of mouth.

They may have been shaped by different events and experiences, but at their core, different generations aren't all that different, Luxenburg said.

An 18-year-old in 1940 is the same as one in 2013.

"You're all human beings. You all have the same wants, the same needs," he said.

But what this new generation of workers wants is changing. Employees aren't motivated by the same incentives. "It's not about money, it's about respect," he said.

If you feel like a company truly understands you, you won't leave for an extra $50 a week, he added. Traditional incentives are not the same as modern incentives.

According to scitrain's study, employees are looking for purpose, autonomy, mastery and community.

"It's not about fruit baskets. It's not about having a pool table in the front lobby. It's about how you treat people. Can you truly put yourself in the shoes of that person," Luxenburg said.

Companies have to create an environment where people feel engaged; where people aren't just showing up for work, but feel good about being there, said panelist Joe Vitale, interim vice president of human resources at Kent State.

Companies also need to focus on work-life flexibility, Luxenburg said. Not work-life balance, which implies there's an ideal solution, he added.

Business owners need to put themselves in the shoes of their workers. A parent who needs to leave work to pick up their child from school shouldn't have to worry about their boss will say, he said.

Companies that can't adapt are going to be left behind, he said.

"That's the future," he said. "It's going to be getting rid of all the stuff that doesn't matter."

Companies also need to identify their values, and then implement them. For example, a team can't be innovative in a structured environment, they have to be able to express themselves, Luxenburg said.

Scitrain leads by example. At the company's Canton headquarters, nicknamed scitown, employees work in offices styled as dwellings, each with their own personalized themes, like a fishing cottage or sports bar.

The company also gives every employees six weeks of vaction. And workers can have a bassinet in their office, Luxenburg said.

One of the company's values is fun, so employees engage in Nerf gun wars or play video games on a projection screen.

"When you create those values, that goal or mission, you have to live it," he said.

In the spirit of true Thanksgiving, let me give you a few reasons to be thankful this holiday season.

In less than a week, families around the country will sit down and enjoy a Thanksgiving feast. If your family is anything like mine, there will be more food than you can possibly eat, football will be on the television and laughter will fill the air.

Is that really what Thanksgiving is about? Gorging ourselves or being thankful for all that we have been blessed with? Probably the latter.

In the spirit of true Thanksgiving, let me give you a few reasons to be thankful this holiday season.

Be thankful you aren't Rob Ford. In the last few months, Mayor of Toronto Rob Ford has admitted to smoking crack "probably a year ago" when he was in a "drunken stupor," refused to step down from office and denied trying to engage in Bill Clinton-like behavior with a staffer. This week, Toronto's City Council voted to strip Ford of the majority of his power. I have a feeling things aren't going to get any better. I'd like to be a fly on the wall at his house during this holiday season.

Be thankful you aren't Renata Ford. In defending himself from the sexual harassment charge, the above-mentioned mayor exclaimed his innocence (again) by stating it didn't happen. There is no way to clean up what the mayor said but to paraphrase, he states he is content at home and especially in the boudoir. Mrs. Ford had to be mortified and embarrassed by his brash behavior. I'd be mortified if I had to wake up beside this bloated bloke of a man who lacks all self control every morning.

Be thankful you aren't Alec Baldwin's wife or newly-convicted stalker. In my opinion, Baldwin has been off his rocker for years. Numerous news outlets have reported on his exploits including putting a beatdown on paparazzi and his racist, homophobic slurs. We won't even mention that infamous voicemail he left his daughter years ago.

If you're married to him, no doubt you've had to endure a lot in the privacy of your own home. If you are convicted of stalking him, you really couldn't find someone better than Alec Baldwin to bother?

He is a mess of a man who is a shell of his old self. Yes, I said it. He's become the crazy old man in the cul-de-sac who keeps the neighborhood kids' balls and turns the hose on them when they try to retrieve them. Family gatherings must be fantastic in the Baldwin house.

Be thankful you aren't a Kardashian (any Kardashian). Between naming your child a direction (and having said child with a sawed-off, delusional narcissist), getting divorced because you are a nightmare of a "momager," marrying a baby-making crackhead who, as the topping to the sundae, also is a cheater and offending decent minded people around the world, be glad you aren't sharing your Thanksgiving with them (just ask Bruce Jenner).

Be thankful you aren't "that relative." You know what I mean. That person who gets tipsy, starts trouble, knocks things over and makes a spectacle of themselves. If you are that relative, knock it off. Act like you have sense or you may end up home alone on Thanksgiving eating a TV dinner.

On Thanksgiving, remember how blessed you are, not how many things are going wrong. Enjoy your family, for better or worse, and be if glad you aren't surrounded by the people mentioned in this column.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Baked Beans

True confession, baked beans are a finger food at our house.  No, we don’t actually eat them we our fingers; but my family thinks of them more as a dip to eat with chips . . . any kind of chip will do, but the favorite here is BBQ chips with ridges, of course, because they are stronger and hold more beans.  So if you come to my house, you don’t really need a fork for baked beans . . .

Can you celebrate the 4th of July without baked beans?  I’m sure you could, but for most of us baked beans is a tradition.  Problem for us is, that our family has never had a written recipe for baked beans.  It’s just one of those recipes where you just add a little of this, some of that, and a little more brown sugar.  So finally I decided we needed to write it down {although I can tell you I will still never measure . . . }.

I know a lot of you love bacon in your baked beans, but I don’t add it.  I don’t like the texture of the bacon in the beans . . . but you can still get that same great flavor by adding liquid smoke – an amazing ingredient that gives food that same smokey flavor without all the calories!  You can find liquid smoke near the worcestershire sauce and other condiments in your grocery store.

My second true confession is that if I am making beans for company or to take to an outing I will follow the recipe below.  But then you remember I live in Texas and hate to turn my oven on for 2 hours in the summer!  So if I’m making them to eat at home I’ll make a smaller batch that fits in the microwave and can have them ready in 20-30 minutes without heating up my house.  Just drain off the liquid in the beans first since they don’t have as long to reduce and let them sit 10 minutes before serving . . . same great taste without the 2 hour wait!

Baked Beans

3 large cans (28 ounces) pork and beans (I use Van Camps)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke

Combine all and pour into a 13×9 pan (sprayed with cooking spray).  Bake at 325 for 2 hours.  Let stand 10-15 minutes to reduce a little more before serving.  Now grab a bag of chips and dig in!

It is essential that you will remain calm, and set your focus into getting things straight. When you get hysterical about the condition of the flooded carpet, then precious time will be lost and that there will be less chance in the matter of saving your carpet at home.

How To Save Flooded Carpets

By Carpet Cleaning Kings

If your carpet doesn’t dry quickly enough you’ll end up with wrinkles or bubbles in the carpet that are evidence that the backing has indeed come apart from the carpet in those areas. In the worse care scenario, the tufts of your carpet can be pulled out easily, since there’s nothing there to hold them in place.

With flooded carpets it’s important to remove surface water as quickly as possible and pull back the carpet to get the dryers on to it. You may find the underlay has been trashed, but if you can get the carpet dry, it may be possible to save it. A tip here is to remove all the furniture and then starting from a corner of the room pull back the carpet wearing a pair of gloves and users pliers.

We recommend at this point that you call out an emergency flood water professional or start to extract the water yourself with a wet and dry vacuum. Meanwhile be sure to remove any electronics and personal belongings from the room. The carpet should be pulled off the tack strips so the air can get to it once the excess water has been removed. Do not be tempted to cut the carpet away as it will be difficult to seam it back together and it won’t look pretty.

Once the carpet is dry you may have to replace the pad beneath it, but most times the carpet will be able to be stretched back into position on the tack strips. If you have more extensive damage to your floors or walls then you’ll need to call in the insurance company in order to get some estimates for repairing the damage. Read more here…

For every carpet disaster that you are facing at home, you must remain calm, as there will be restoration company that are willing to assist you with it. All that you have to do is be familiar about those companies that will provide high quality kind of service. Choosing the right company is an essential aspect in making sure that the right kind of outcome will happen for your carpet.

An Assassination + 45 Years

When a 63 year old woman takes the hand of her 19 year old former self and wanders through old memories the most astonishing things can happen. I have never been one to live in the past, I am not overly sentimental and if anything I am more future oriented, although lately I deeply understand the importance of living each moment fully in the present. At this age I can so easily envision the supply of these moments coming to an end some day relatively soon and I aim to savor each one. So, I have slowed down a bit. I live more on heart time. It was from this space of here and heart that I traveled back in time to 1968 to relive a traumatic memory. How amazing to see these events again through wiser eyes. Is it possible to comfort one's 19 year old self? Yes, definitely. Is it possible to learn a thing or two from one's 19 year old self? Yes, absolutely.

It was a year I will never forget. I was a freshman in college, an American Studies major at California State University at Los Angeles. Politically active, I worked in Southern California for Bobby Kennedy's campaign in his bid for the Democratic party's presidential nomination. My best friend Kathy and I were so proud and excited to be “Kennedy Girls”. This was a team of young women who helped organize campaign events and tried to build up enthusiasm and energy before any RFK appearance. We all wore navy blue skirts, white blouses and a white straw hat with a red, white and blue band that said “Kennedy”.We had worked long and hard in the days leading up to the California primary. When we were not out at an event we were in campaign headquarters making phone calls or stuffing envelopes. It was such an exhilarating time and I was an idealist, in love with the idea of making a difference in the world. I believed with all my heart Robert Kennedy could make such a difference.

At one of the campaign events, which happened to be in my home town at the San Gabriel Mission, Senator Kennedy walked up to me, asked my name, shook my hand and thanked me for working on the campaign. I was thrilled, of course. The thing I remember most about him was his sincerity. When he spoke to someone it was not cursory, not the fake-smile-hand-pumping gestures you get from most politicians. He had an almost shy demeanor, a humble confidence that was endearing. He spoke directly to me with his thick Boston accent and I felt at ease, on equal footing. It was unmistakably genuine; such charisma the man had! Soon after we spoke he entered the sanctuary of the church to pray. He was a devout Catholic.

Finally, the date of the California primary arrived-- June 5, 1968. My friend Kathy and I arrived at the Ambassador Hotel in the evening and took our places on the stage of the downstairs auditorium. The room was filled with people who had worked tirelessly on the campaign. Ours was a private event and the evening's schedule called for RFK to speak to his supporters in the Embassy ballroom upstairs, be ushered through the kitchen (a back way, avoiding the crowds) to the Colonial Room where he would speak to the press and then take the service elevator to the private celebration downstairs where we were.

As the night wore on we all nervously awaited news of election results and finally, sometime after 11 p.m., the news we had yearned for reached us. Kennedy had won the primary! The place erupted in cheering and chants of “RFK! RFK! RFK!” Such excitement! We were so beside ourselves with joy, the atmosphere was absolutely electric! Some of the campaign leaders spoke enthusiastically to the crowd as we waited for our candidate to appear.

Upstairs, Robert Kennedy gave a rousing victory speech to his thrilled supporters in the packed Embassy Ballroom, then shortly after midnight was whisked through a door that lead to the kitchen service area, on his way to meet the press corps. It was there he had the horrifically tragic encounter with a young armed Palestinian immigrant by the name of Sirhan Sirhan. Shots rang out and in seconds Kennedy was on the floor, mortally wounded. In the midst of the chaos that followed, a busboy leaned down beside him and pressed rosary beads in his hand. Bobby asked him “Is everybody all right?”. Those were his last words.

Someone raced downstairs and screamed the horrible news to all of us from the back of the full auditorium. It was utter pandemonium. No one knew if there was one shooter or a whole army of them. People were yelling and screaming and crying and panicking. In the mayhem the crowd surged forward and people were being crushed against the front wall of the stage. We pulled 10 or 12 people up on to the stage to save them until the organizers could settle the crowd. I had never see mob rule in action before and it was terrifying. Once the crowd was somewhat under control people were sobbing and desperate for information. Was he alive? Would he be okay? Was anybody else hurt? Who did this terrible thing?

No answers came for us that night. In quick order the LAPD officers were swarming the hotel. We were all told to return to our vehicles and sit in them until we were interrogated and released from the parking lot. Stunned and reeling, we sat and cried. It was hours before we were released. We were questioned briefly and asked for addresses and phone numbers where we could be reached (weeks later, we were both questioned in more detail by FBI agents) and finally were allowed to leave the hotel parking lot. We arrived home about 4 a.m. Heartbroken, I laid on the couch watching television coverage until I fell into an exhausted sleep. Bobby Kennedy died later that day from his wounds.

Never since have I ever been in a situation where the highest of highs was followed so immediately by the lowest of lows as it was that day. That day changed my life in ways I can only see now that I look at it in the context of all the days of my life that followed. It was the day I learned that very bad things can happen to very good people. But it was also the day, on a very deep unconscious level, I had a choice. Somehow I steered away from the easier route of cynicism and disillusionment and headed steadfastly back towards life and goodness. It has made all the difference.

This is beautiful and sad. How surreal to be in the midst of that story.

I think we get cynical when we do not allow ourselves to cry about our sorrows. It makes us expect everybody to swallow up their sorrow.

A few weeks ago I threw something out (in a cleaning fit) that my 6 year-old wanted to keep. I had forgotten that. When she found out it was gone she cried, and I held her in my arms and said I was so sorry for forgetting. That moment was so sweet, because she was just sad and I was just sorry and I just loved her so much, no thoughts in my head where I was beating myself up about it. And when she stopped crying, it was OK again.

Have a wonderful day!!!

Jesus entered Jerusalem to people laying down palm branches at His feet. This was a sign that He was a king in their eyes. Only Jesus knew that the same crowd would put Him to death 5 days later.

“And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way. And they that went before and they that followed, cried, saying: Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”Mark 11:8-9

text: Drovers’ index of economic indicators saw significant decline last month as cattle prices and profit margins lost ground. Four of the eight arrows in this month’s analysis point lower, and three point sideways. Only one indicator, production costs, is aiming higher. Key cattle prices were weaker for all classes of cattle, earning a down arrow. Production indicators were lower based on heavy placements and weaker marketings. Feedyard margins moved into negative territory, and competitive meats are seeing increased production and lower retail prices for pork and poultry. Packer margins were steady last month, and the beef market showed little change. Lower grain prices should help support feeder-cattle prices this fall, but beef’s economic health is clearly weaker than any time over the past year.

A woman notified Boone County Sheriff On Tuesday night that 28 head of cattle ready to go to the sale barn were missing as reported by the Harrison Daily Times.

A be on the lookout (BOLO) for a white Dodge pickup with a red or maroon open-topped cattle trailer was sent to agencies in Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. The missing cattle are valued at $15,000.

Deputy Robert Cutburth checked a residence where a trailer matching the description of the one used to steal the cattle was missing, no one was at the residence. A truck and trailer matching the description was seen heading south on Highway 7 driven by a man about 30 years old with a beard and hat, and a male passenger in his 20s.

Local auction barns are also on lookout for the cattle and trailer. If you have information regarding the missing cattle, call the Boone County Sheriff’s Office at (870) 741-8404.

Jorn Weisbrodt, a New York-based arts administrator who is also romantic partner to singer Rufus Wainwright, has been hired as the new artistic director of Toronto’s Luminato Festival.

The festival announced his appointment Thursday, saying he was chosen after a global search. German-born Weisbrodt, 38, starts his new job in January next year, replacing Luminato’s founding artistic director Chris Lorway.

Weisbrodt is currently director of the Watermill Center in New York and executive director of RW Work Ltd, which manages the work of theatre and opera director Robert Wilson. He has collaborated on projects with La Scala in Milan, the Spoleto Festival, the Barbican in London, the Lincoln Center and other international arts groups. Before moving to New York, he was active on the contemporary arts scene in Germany.

He is already involved with Luminato, the Toronto Festival of Arts and Creativity, set to celebrate its sixth year in 2012. Weisbrodt has been working with Wilson on the remount of Einstein on the Beach, the Phillip Glass opera to be staged at Luminato in 2012.

He issued a statement saying he and Wainwright plan to move to Toronto.

"My partner and I are looking forward to making a home in Toronto, collaborating with the incredible artist and institutions that work here and becoming a part of the city and its cultural life," he said.

Wainwright, the Montreal-raised singer who brought his opera Prima Donna to Luminato in 2010, as well as his All Days Are Nights concert, proposed to Weisbrodt late last year.  The pair, who have been together about six years, expect to get married next summer. They share parenting of Viva Katherine Wainwright Cohen — the daughter of Wainwright and Lorca Cohen.

Choe Thae Bok, right, chairman of North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly, talks to an unidentified official after arriving at the airport in Beijing, China, on Tuesday. ((Alexander F. Yuan/Associated Press))

China is growing frustrated with North Korea and some Chinese officials would be open to the idea of a unified Korea run by the south, according to leaked U.S. diplomatic cables released by the WikiLeaks website.

The release comes as China welcomes an envoy from North Korea after last week's shelling of a South Korean island, which killed four people. Choe Thae Bok, the chairman of North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly, arrived in Beijing on Tuesday for a visit following a call last week from China for emergency consultations.

In one of the leaked documents, South Korea's then vice-foreign minister, Chun Yung-woo, is quoted as telling U.S. ambassador Kathleen Stephens that China "would be comfortable with a reunified Korea controlled by Seoul and anchored to the U.S. in a 'benign alliance' as long as Korea was not hostile towards China."

Should sensitive diplomatic files be released? Take our survey.

Chun said Chinese diplomats also told him that trade and labour export opportunities in a reunified Korea could further induce Chinese acquiescence.

However, the diplomatic cables also indicate that China, which fought on North Korea's side in the 1950-53 Korean War, would not accept the presence of U.S. troops north of the demilitarized zone that currently forms the North-South border.

In another leaked U.S. document, China's vice-foreign minister He Yafei is quoted as saying North Korea was acting like a "spoiled child" trying to get the attention of the adult — the United States — by carrying out missile tests in April 2009.

Other cables outline China's ideas of what should happen if the North collapsed after leader Kim Jong-il's death, saying Chinese officials believe the country could absorb about 300,000 North Koreans without outside help, The Guardian reported.

"What's awkward for the Chinese is that the cables indicate division on North Korea," CBC's China correspondent Anthony Germain reported. "And equally important: some of China's own diplomats question whether Beijing has any real influence on Pyongyang, at a time when China is trying to play a role during the current crisis. "

Germain noted that it's important to keep in mind that the information contained in the cables are statements of opinion, not policy.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said China had noted the leaked cables but would not comment on specific content.

"China always supports the North and South sides of the Korean peninsula to have dialogue and consultation to improve their relations," Hong said at a regularly scheduled news conference.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said her government "deeply regrets" the disclosure of information intended to be confidential. Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said his department is conducting a criminal investigation into the leak of the diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks.

WikiLeaks made more than 250,000 diplomatic documents available to five newspapers, including the New York Times.

The whistleblower website published 220 cables on its own website on Sunday. More cables were expected to be released throughout the week.

Top Cow’s “Angelus” #1 and #2 Sell Out

by  in Comic News Comment
Top Cow’s “Angelus” #1 and #2 Sell Out

Official Press Release

Top Cow Productions, Inc. proudly announced today that the first and second issues of the six-issue miniseries Angelus has sold out at the distributor level.

Written by Ron Marz (Witchblade, Magdalena) and featuring art by Stjepan Sejic (Witchblade), the Angelus miniseries finds Danielle Baptiste returning home to New Orleans and coming to grips with her new role as the Angelus – the human bearer of the primal force of light.

“I’m just incredibly pleased at the news of Angelus #1 and #2 selling out,” said Marz. “This series is really the culmination of something we started planning more than three years ago when we introduced Dani Baptiste in Witchblade #100. We wanted to grow her into a character that readers could connect to, so that when she finally assumed the mantle of the Angelus, we’d have someone the audience cares about. Hopefully the success of the first two Angelus issues is an indication we did that.”

“There’s little to be unsaid about what Marz and Sejic have done for Top Cow’s top character, and this title is in the same field of character development, intrigue, with magical elements that wouldn’t let me stop turning pages.” – Newsarama’s Best Shots

“Sejic is still as spectacular as ever with each page, and if you have only seen the scans from the preview and were amazed, then it’s time you grabbed the book.” – Comic Attack

“The story was solid, and entertaining, and the artwork was awesome, as usual for Stjepan Sejic. The use of storytelling through panel progression and balance between calm subtle moments, and double page action spreads, really give this book a nice feel.” – Comic Collector Live

Angelus #1 and #2’s successes join five other recent sold-out Top Cow titles – The Darkness/Pitt #1, The Darkness/Pitt #2, Tracker #1, Pilot Season: Murderer #1 and Pilot Season: Demonic #1.
