Business in Brief

PLYMOUTH – Entergy Corp. has received approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to spin off its Pilgrim nuclear power plant and four other plants.

The agency's approval of the license transfer for the power plants took effect on Monday. The plants would be owned by a new public company, Enexus Energy Corp., and operated by a new joint venture known as EquaGen Nuclear LLC and owned by Enexus and Entergy.

New Orleans' Entergy needs approvals from the Securities and Exchange Commission and New York and Vermont regulators before the company can complete the transaction. Officials in New York and Vermont have raised concerns about the amount of debt that Enexus would need to shoulder.

Entergy is selling off all its nuclear plants that aren't connected to its core electricity distribution and transmission operations in the South. more

BNC to buy back stock The Business Journal of the Greater Triad Area

BNC Bancorp's board of directors has authorized a stock repurchase plan of up to $1 million, according to an announcement.

The Thomasville-based BNC, parent company of Bank of North Carolina, may buy those shares on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, with to the goal to "enhance the value of it stock for its shareholders," the announcement said.

CEO W. Swope Montgomery Jr. said that the bank's board decided that while the capital that will be used to buy back stock "is extremely precious in these challenging times, the ability to repurchase stock at, or near, current levels represents a prudent course of action."

Shares of BNC (Nasdaq: BNCN) were trading Friday morning for $8.60 each, down from their 52-week high of $18.25. more

Complaint threatens auction business

Solicitor Charles Alexander, who helped draft the complaint, told the program the practices of Mr Menzies's auction businesses "have the potential to be misleading and deceptive conduct contrary to the provisions of the Trade Practices Act".

The practices are alleged to include selling and rebuying the same paintings at auction, publishing questionable provenance notes for paintings in catalogues and obscuring ownership details.

Academic and art valuer Meaghan Wilson-Anastasios said if the industry claims about Mr Menzies were true, "then he has dramatically inflated the Australian art market, and with it inflated buyer confidence".

She told the program: "If he's done that to advance the interests of his auction houses, then that buyer confidence has in a sense been artificially inflated. more

Resolved Question: What do you think More outrage from supporters of illegals Sheriff Joe: Woman hid Mexican ID in enchilada?

PHOENIX -- Maricopa County Sheriff's detectives arrested five women after serving a search warrant at a business near 19th Street and the University of Phoenix. "When we went in there one of the ladies was hiding her Mexican ID in her enchilada to try and conceal the identification," Sheriff Joe Arpaio said. Deputies said three of the women are suspected of identity theft and fraud. A fourth woman was arrested on an outstanding warrant, a fifth was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for being in the country illegally, deputies said. Detectives executed the warrant at Valley View Building Services and said they were originally after 25 people in connection with identity theft and fraud. "We completely support their decision to take those people away that have stolen identity, that have committed a crime. Absolutely they need to come and get those people," business owner Joel Votaw said. According to the sheriff's office, a three-month investigation revealed the company had furnished at least one employee who was working on the Fort Huachuca military base in Sierra Vista and determined to be in the United States illegally. Votaw told CBS 5, "The accusation that we knowingly put illegal people on base I find to be offensive." Votaw said not only did that employee produce what appeared to be a valid driver's license, he said all of employees were verified through E-verify. "I personally am not aware of something legally that we can do past E-verify, if there is something we can do past E-verify, I would love to know what it is," Votaw said.http://www.kpho.com/news/24406243/detail.html more

Resolved Question: Should I ask my ex on the first of next month or go directly to child support services?

The DA closed my ex-husband's very questionable business, put him in a psych ward, was released days later. He is severely bipolar w/hallucinations, delusions of grandeur and has been committed before. Until this month he has been on time with child support but this time I had to beg him to pay, then he gave me a third of it. He's applying for disability but that takes 6 months.

Voting Question: Why don't Republicans/Tea Partiers/Fascists respect the Constitution, all criticism of it comes from the right?

I can't think of a single part of the Constitution that the left ever has contention with save the 2nd Amendment. The attacks on our Constitution are ALWAYS coming from the right. Whether is be the Social Conservatives who can't get the simple words "Congress shall make no law respecting any religion". Or Randy Paultard supporting the rights of businesses to turn away minorities from service. And now, the talk about repealing the 16th Amendment, to get rid of the federal income tax. If it is the Conservatives who respect the Constitution so much, then how do you explain the fact that they are in greater general opposition to the Constitution than the left? more

Voting Question: Opinion on my tirade about the airlines?

This started off as talking about my plane ride home yesterday through IM, and it launched into a full scale tirade. After a while it started to get kinda comedic, I think xD Anyway, just wanted to get your opinions/relations/etc. on this: "Speaking of airplanes, you're never gonna believe this "We have pillows and blankets available for a price of $8." $8!! EIGHT DOLLARS! I just have to repeat that one more time because it is so monumentally ridiculous that I cannot even begin to fathom it--EIGHT! DOLLARS!! but you know what? oh yeah, you know what? I brought my car blanket and my jacket, both of which will be way more comfortable than that SANDPAPER you pass off as a pillow and blanket and make people pay $8 for, and I'm gonna have the best sleep of ANYBODY on this airplane, and it ain't gonna cost me a PENNY. So I just have two words for you, American Airlines: GET. EFFED. It's not gonna get better, just worse You hear about that Irish airline THAT CHARGES FOR BATHROOM USE?!?!?!? BATHROOM USE! You have to pay like, a buck fifty or something to squeeze into that tiny little bathroom that you can barely fit in and has no water coming out of the sink or in the toilet and is so ill equipped in the way of support bars that anytime you have turbulence (and you most assuredly will, because the worst turbulence of a plane ride, as a rule, automatically comes when you're trying to use the bathroom) you'll end up falling to the floor. And while we're on this tirade in regards to the airlines, ever notice that the pilot will turn the seat belt sign on and tell everyone to get back in their seats, and everyone will keep scrambling around the cabin not paying attention, and then the stewardess will shout into the PA, "SIT DOWN!" in a shrill voice? Hmmm...I wonder if the pilot and the stewardess sleep together sometimes... "Fly the friendly skies." Now, if you ask me, the skies are friendly. They're blue and cheerful and full of nice fluffy clouds...but that doesn't mean the people flying IN them are friendly. I mean, you hear the safety video end with "we thank you for coming to fly the friendly skies with us" and then you see the guy sitting next to you lighting a match. And notice that, as a rule, it is always extremely turbulent when the seat belt sign is off and completely smooth when it's on? It's almost like a secret code. "Okay...the seat belt sign is ON now...that means we're free to move about the cabin, and when they turn it OFF, we better go back to our seats" And you know what I really dislike? This term "nonstop." Now I don't know about you, but I tend to prefer if the plane stops. Preferably at an airport. And "luggage carousel." Why the heck do they say THAT? Are they implying it's supposed to be a bunch of horses on a merry go round bringing you your luggage on their backs? Because if there's anything about a luggage carousel, it's that it is the exact opposite of a carousel. And airlines wonder why they lose their business to Southwest. Well, I'll tell you why that is, that's because your luggage flies free, the tickets are $200 cheaper than any other airline, they don't charge you for pillows and blankets, and, holy, they're actually kinda COMFORTABLE, their flight attendants are more entertaining than the movies they show on other airlines, they finally got service to/from Boston Logan, and they don't treat their first class passengers like royalty and their coach passengers like criminals. Southwest Airlines: the only good airline around anymore. American Airlines: PWNED. Southwest used to be cruddy by airline standards, cause they never did anything to make the flight comfortable, you had to change planes just to go from L.A. to Salt Lake City, but Southwest got a lot better and the other airlines got so much worse that I'd say they are truly, by now, the best airline I've ever flown. Not earlier. A few years ago I wouldn't have said that. But now I'm saying that. And to top this tirade of mine off, let me tell you the worst airline flight I've ever had. So bad I even remember the date. July 27, 2007. Boston to Los Angeles, just like the flight I took yesterday. American Airlines. Scheduled departure: 7 p.m. Actual departure: 10:30 p.m. Time spent sitting on the tarmac: 3 1/2 hours. My bedtime that night: 4 a.m., which to my body still set on Eastern Time, would have been 7 a.m. Compensation? NONE. --tirade over-- Sorry, that was a long tirade xD" more

Voting Question: Computer Keeps Freezing!?

The computer I have now is a hand me down, the person who had it before me never updated. When I started installing new updates for the first time, it crashed while a service pack was being installed. I had to reinstall the OS, the reinstall went fine and all but now when the computer is being used and sometimes when it's not being used it freezes randomly, some days it'll freeze twice and other days it'll freeze more then five times. I would've called tech support for the computer but they went out of business a few years ago. O.S. Windows Xp Home Edition more

Resolved Question: What are the limits of the Kentucky Social Services?

Alright this is going to be somewhat confusing but i will do my best to explain my issues...WEll these questions are not related to me at all but a relative of mine..Below are a list of questions. 1- If someone called KY Social Services and said "so-so" smokes pot in thier house can Social Services make that alleged person take a drug test if their is no evidance to support the accusation? 2- Does Social Services have an legal rights ie Can they tell an occupant that is not permanently living in someones home but as aroom mate to leave? 3- What can Social Services NOT do ? ie Make you take a drug test with no evidance, say dont curse near kids etc... 4- What rights do you have as an individual to protect yourself from Social Services ever prying eyes? I noticed they want to know things that are none of their business alot of times. My brother is having issues very similiar to the ones i just described..he cant afford a lawyer so he needs advice and he cant call Social Services because they would provide a biased answer. Remember this is in the State in KentuckyThe idea of these questions is that im very against Social Services and what they stand for . They destroy more lives than there are homeless people. That is my political stance i view social services as way to control the local populace more

At 17 the boarding school basically kicked me out without notice at 17 with £35 in my pocket, 3 suitcases and an address in London which was a children’s home. At 17 I worked for a small company for 15 years, where again I was verbally abused and eventually made redundant (sacked I call it) with out warning. From 19 to 28 I was in a abusive relationship where I finally broke free from. During this time I was bullied, intimidated by neighbours who eventually local kids got their mothers to start trouble with me which resulted me being dragged from my front door and beaten by three adults where they kicked and punched me in the head and spine in front of my at the time 10 year old daughter, the reason was a local girl accused me of hitting her (totally untrue). My daughter was being bullied by all the local kids and being physically attacked several times. She was eventually raped at 14. We finally moved more than 30 miles away. And a near tragic situation happened where my daughter was befriended by 2 girls 3 days after her 18th birthday, who drove her miles away, accused her of fancying one of their boyfriends and was dragged from the car down a quite lane, a knife was put to her throat threatening to kill her and they beat her to the ground and tried to wrap her up in barb wire which has left scars, they left her there at 3am. January this year, both girls got found guilty and got 3 and half years each. On top of all of this, I do not have any family to turn too, not one friend. Please believe me, I’m not a weird person, in fact, I always smile and say hi to my neighbours, I help them where I can, I do not look bad for 40. My daughter is a beautiful girl that avoids friendships with other girls because of what she has experienced which is understandable. I can’t stress enough, that I am not weird looking, I don’t behave odd, I just go about my business and am polite to people I meet, yet when I take my dog for a walk, there are times my neighbours give me dirty looks or ignore me. I took on a cat from the close I live in because it was abandoned, and one of my neighbours accused me once of not feeding him (she keeps putting food out for him) she keeps texting me to move him from her door mat because his setting of her dogs???????, I don’t understand why I get treated so bad, I can understand I was unlucky as a child, but when is the hate towards me going to end? I’m so depressed and so so lonely. I try to stay strong for my daughter, avoid crying because she will see my eyes that swell after. I have no one to talk to and I have no where to turn. I’m forty and have considered going to the social services for some kind of support and someone to talk too. I Really don’t know what to do or where to turn, this is not a feeling I have just had, its been like this for years and now its taking its toll on me. I cannot kill myself for my daughters sake as she will be alone. I just exist, I don’t live. I'm so alone and feel despair right now. I really don't want to live anymore. I can't take another day. I wake in the morning and hide under my covers, i dont want to face the day until i have too, to feed the pets and try to act normal for my daughters sake. I was thinking today that taking an overdose would be devistating to my daughter to accept for my death so i thought that i could crash my car into a wall looking like i have lost control of the car and that way it would not be known a suicide. That is how desperate I am becoming. I have moved once before away from problems and they seem to follow me hence why I wont move again, dont see the point. I was once strong, very strong, what I have wrote about is a 'snippit' compared to the rest of what has happened in my life. I was very strong, but become weaker the more and heavier the load, i could not carry anymore. There is only so much one can take. When I was at my strongest I collapsed and back then I did have a little support and it still broke me. Now I have no one what so ever, I don't have that strength that is required to overcome this, not now. Even if i did, I the know the struggle and not sure if I can pull through it again. more

Resolved Question: Was I charged a reasonable price for service and repair?

I had my car repaired at a local garage recently and want to know if the price I was charged is reasonable. I know nothing about cars and have always used a cousin's garage for repairs but have since moved away. The cost was £320 (inc VAT) for completing an annual (major) service and supplying and fitting 4 replacement brake lines and 1 replacement brake pad, all on a Ford Puma 1.7ltr. Everything else about the garage seems good and I like to support local independent businesses so as long as the price was not overly excessive then I will continue using them. more

Resolved Question: Can anyone understand this document? I'm having difficulty understanding it, and I may have a quiz on it.?

I have always had to work, whether any one hired me or not. For the first forty years of my life, I was an employe. �When not employed by others, I employed myself.� I found very early that being out of hire was not necessarily being out of work. �The first means that your employer has not found something for you to do; the second means that you are waiting until he does. We nowadays think of work as something that others find for us to do, call us to do, and pay us to do.� No doubt our industrial growth is largely responsible for that.� We have accustomed men to think of work that way . . . But something entirely outside the workshops of the nation has affected this hired employment very seriously. �The word �unemployment� has become one of the most dreadful words in the language. �The condition itself has become the concern of every person in the country . . . . I do not believe in routine charity.� I think it a shameful thing that any man should have to stoop to take it, or give it. �I do not include human helpfulness under the name of charity. �My quarrel with charity is that it is neither helpful nor human. �The charity of our cities is the most barbarous thing in our system, with the possible exception of our prisons. �What we call charity is a modern substitute for being personally kind, personally concerned and personally involved in the work of helping others in difficulty. �True charity is a much more costly effort than money-giving . . . . Methods of self-help are numerous and great numbers of people have made the stimulating discovery that they need not depend on employers to find work for them � they can find work for themselves. �I have more definitely in mind those who have not yet made that discovery, and I should like to express certain convictions I have tested. � The land! That is where our roots are.� There is the basis of our physical life. �The farther we get away from the land, the greater our insecurity. �From the land comes everything that supports life, everything we use for the service of physical life. �The land has not collapsed or shrunk in either extent or productivity. �It is there waiting to honor all the labor we are willing to invest in it, and able to tide us across any dislocation of economic conditions. No unemployment insurance can be compared to an alliance between a man and a plot of land. �With one foot in industry and another foot in the land, human society is firmly balanced against most economic uncertainties. �With a job to supply him with cash, and a plot of land to guarantee him support, the individual is doubly secure. �Stocks may fall, but seedtime and harvest do not fail. I am not speaking of stop-gaps or temporary expedients.� Let every man and every family at this season of the year cultivate a plot of land and raise a sufficient supply for themselves or others. �Every city and village has vacant space whose use would be permitted. �Groups of men could rent farms for small sums and operate them on the co-operative plan. �Employed men, in groups of ten, twenty, or fifty, could rent farms and operate them with several unemployed families. �Or, they could engage a farmer with his farm to be their farmer this year, either as employe or on shares. �There are farmers who would be glad to give a decent indigent family a corner of a field on which to live and provide against next winter. �Industrial concerns everywhere would gladly make it possible for their men, employed and unemployed, to find and work the land. �Public-spirited citizens and institutions would most willingly assist in these efforts at self-help. I do not urge this solely or primarily on the ground of need.� It is a definite step to the restoration of normal business activity. �Families who adopt self-help have that amount of free money to use in the channels of trade. �That in turn means a flow of goods, an increase in employment, a general benefit. more

Resolved Question: BERNANKE STANDS READY TO DEVALUE YOUR DOLLARS, what part of this do you not understand?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke heads to Congress Wednesday with a message of reassurance: The Fed stands ready to take new steps to bolster the recovery if the economy worsens. The Fed chief kicks off back-to-back appearances on Capitol Hill at a delicate time for the economy. The recovery, which had been flashing signs of strengthening earlier this year, is losing momentum. And fears are growing that it could stall. Consumer have cut spending. Businesses, uncertain about the strength of their own sales or the economic recovery, are sitting on cash, reluctant to beef up hiring and expand operations. A stalled housing market, near double-digit unemployment and an edgy Wall Street shaken by Europe's debt crisis are other factors playing into the economic slowdown. Bernanke, who is scheduled to deliver his twice-a-year economic report to the Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday afternoon, will probably again downplay the odds that the economy will slide back into a "double dip" recession. But at the same time, he'll strike a more cautious tone, pointing out that the fragile economy is still vulnerable to shocks. To strengthen the economy, the Fed is likely to hold a key bank lending rate at a record low near zero well into 2011, or possibly into 2012, economists predict. That would mean rates on certain credit cards, home equity loans, some adjustable-rate mortgages and other consumer loans would stay at their lowest point in decades. Ultra-low lending rates, however, haven't done much lately to rev up the economy. Consumers and businesses are cautious and aren't showing an appetite to spend as lavishly as they usually do in the early stages of economic recoveries. Even though the prospects of deflation -- a widespread and prolonged drop in prices for goods, the value of stocks and homes and in wages -- is remote, some Fed officials are worried about it. Keeping rates low would help prevent deflationary forces from taking hold. Against such a backdrop, Fed officials at their June meeting cut their forecasts for growth this year. They also saw the need to explore new options for energizing the rebound. That's a turnaround from earlier this year when they were moving to wind down crisis-era supports. If the recovery were to deteriorate, the Fed could revive programs to buy mortgage securities or government debt. It could lower the interest rate paid to banks on money left at the Fed or cut the rate banks pay for emergency Fed loans. The Fed also could create a new program to spark more lending to businesses and consumers in a bid to lure them to ratchet up spending and grow the economy. The economic hurdles to taking such steps would be high, analysts say. There's also unease within the Fed about taking additional stimulative steps because of fear they could spur inflation or speculative excesses by investors later on. Bernanke will be under more pressure than usual because it's an election year. Upset by high unemployment, rising foreclosures and lackluster wage gains, voters may seek to punish incumbent Democrats and Republicans in Congress if the economy doesn't get better. The unemployment rate, now at 9.5 percent, is expected to stay high -- in the 9 percent range -- through the end of this year, under the Fed's forecast. Despite the wobbly recovery, there's little appetite in Congress to enact a major new stimulus package. Senate Republicans in particular have balked at spending more when the government is already saddled with record high budget deficits. Bernanke appears before the House Financial Services Committee on Thursday. When Bernanke delivered his economic report to Congress in February, he struck a confident note that the rebound would endure. But he warned it would not be robust enough to quickly lower unemployment. At the same time, he was laying the groundwork for the Fed to start boosting rates once the recovery was firmly entrenched. Now, given rising threats to the rebound, prospects of a rate increase this year have disappeared, and the Fed is more focused on keeping the recovery aliveANYTHING to prop up HIS FAKE RECOVERY !

Voting Question: Who made the US the world police force?

First of all I am a vet. Often I am thanked, and appreciate it, but thanked for "defending our country" and I don't say anything, but the truth is all the work we did had NOTHING to do with defending even one state in America. Who gives us the right or permission to do some of the things we do? For example, there was a US Navy SEAL operation where they went into a 3rd world nation to take out the president of this small nation. In doing so, where they landed, they came across a house. To avoid the "chance" of being reported the husband, wife, and children all had their throats cut. The president was removed and replaced by a "US approved" president. What if another country did this to us? What if you did not like our government. Would you be ok if you saw in the news the next day that Syria had snuck in a special group to replace them? What about that family? Also since when did spending the entire state of Kansas Federal Income Tax on ONE airplane become sensible? Why are we spending Billions against an enemy who spends thousands? Didn't the cold war teach us anything? Yeah, it's cool how a bomb can wipe out a fly on a wall, but for $1,890,000.00???? I am I alone in thinking defense spending is not only mis-directed, but WAY over budget? Also I find it strange to hear soldiers, as I once used to say, standing on foreign land which has 0% chance of starting a war with us, etc. but saying "defending our country" The truth is we are defending democracy perhaps, but trust me, a tank rolling down the streets of Iraq is not defending Tyler, TX, or Appleton, CA. I understand this is a new world, where terrorism is the weapon. But to me, as an ex-military man I consider the people who died on 9/11 the cost of freedom, and if I had my way they would be buried in the national cemetery. If we trade civil liberties for "protective service" we follow the same practice that caused Germans to lose their civil liberties after the Reichstag's fire. Freedom isn't free, it is paid in blood, whether it soaks a uniform or a $3000 suit, it is still American blood. This is not a anti-America posting, merely my opinion as an aging vet trying to piece together what exactly I did for my service. I firmly believe the moment we cease to question, is the moment rats will creep in, and freedom will be stamped out. In the past year I have counted over 100 incidents where an item can not be purchased in bulk, my business could not transfer money over x amount, I could not trade stock a certain way, I had to fill out extra forms, etc. because of this patriot act. All of which could easily be worked around if our enemy was motivated. Also please save any "hate America" crap, as I love this country. But if you feel that way it is your right. But I suggest you look up the word "Nationalism" It is healthy to support ones nation, but it is another to support every idea a politician says "just because" and shame on any politician who says "vote for my bill, unless you hate America" No matter how many flaws this nation does have, I do still believe it is in the top 3 best nations to live. The largest flaw we have is no third independent party to vote for. (Also save the labeling of my politically. I was and always will be a soldier, not a political party member) "GIVE ME LIBERTY OF GIVE ME DEATH" - a true American hero. more

Resolved Question: What can we Liberals do to teach Conservatives to respect the Constitution as we do, they just trample on it?

I can't think of a single part of the Constitution that the left ever has contention with save the 2nd Amendment. The attacks on our Constitution are always coming from the right. Whether is be the Social Conservatives who can't get the simple words "Congress shall make no law respecting any religion". Or Randy Paultard supporting the rights of businesses to turn away minorities from service. And now, the talk about repealing the 16th Amendment, to get rid of the federal income tax. If it is the Conservatives who respect the Constitution so much, then how do you explain the fact that they are in greater general opposition to the Constitution than the left? more

Resolved Question: Why do people think Lenin and Soviet Communism were far worse than the Czars(ESP US military people)?

I notice people especially Western Europeans and Americans act as Lenin and Soviet Communism are the worst evils of the 20th Century and that life in during the Czar's reign was much better for Russi than under the Soviet Union. The average working person or farmer had everything taken away from them so the Aristocracy could have a minimum of four palaces each. Stalin starved millions of people to death, but his Czar predecessors did the same thing many times more than Stalin ever did. They just don't get the bad press because their forced starvation campaigns were in the 1800s and 1900s. When a member of the Aristocracy was assassinated, they didn't throw dissenters into Gulags like the Communists, the Russian Aristocracy ordered that the whole village where the assissin came from were to be executed as a "deterent". You can still the ghost towns where these things happened. The Czars had a draft to maintain a large peacetime army, which during the revolution was a big mistake because many of the revolutionaries had the same weapons as the "White" Russian army. But during the time of the Czars, more peasants' sons died of disease and malnutrition while in the service of the army than all other causes of deaths combined. During the time of the Czars, when a son was drafted, the family held last rites and funeral before he left for basic training for him to make sure he would get into heaven under their Orthodox Christianity. The odds were that their son would die and that's how certain of it they were. When you go there you don't wonder why the Russian people had a revolution, you wonder what took them so long to stand up for themselves. Last but not least most Europeans and Americans make it out as though Russians had more freedom under Nicholas's reign than under Soviet Communism.In reality Russians didn't have more freedom under the Czar's reign. If you ever protested against the Czar or went against his policy he would send you to prison in Siberia for life or have you executed.In fact the Czar would order massacres of innocent Russians who were protesting peacfully for change. Take the Bloody Sunday Massacree: The Russo-Japanese War erupted in 1904. Russia was not fully prepared to involve itself in a war. The Trans-Siberian Railway was not completed and would not be until 1905, so Russia's army was not fully mobile. Russia’s inability efficiently mobilize caused them to lose battles to the Japanese and to eventually lose the war itself. Peasant discontent due to the Russo Japanese war, food reparations, and political groups set the stage for the event in January 1905, which would later be called “Bloody Sunday”. Sunday, after church in January 1905 a group of protestors (many women and children) proceeded to the Winter Palace to demand from the Czar food and better working conditions. Upon reaching the entrance of the Palace the peasants were met by the Okhrona and decided to meander for awhile. Eventually the crowd decided to push further ahead. The Okhrona began to open fire on the crowd. The response of the Okhrona created more-violent demonstrations. When everything was over hundreds of people were dead (many women and children) and hundreds injured. Bloody Sunday was seen as a horror to many Russians. As a response to Bloody Sunday, a general protest occurred. The workers stopped working, businessmen refused to open for business, and soldiers refused to follow orders. Russia could not operate and was shut-down until things changed. Bloody Sunday was an event with grave consequences for the Tsarist regime, as the disregard for ordinary people shown by the massacre undermined support for the state. The Communists executed the Romanov reign to basically to erase any chance of Russia returning to a monarchy because they feared that with help from the West(US and Great Britain specifically) the Czar would return to power and continue his corrupt reign.. The Russians were fed up with starving and having nothing while Nick and his family lived in luxury. The Communists weren't angels but Lenin and his crowd did improve things for the average worker or proletariat such as providing general public education and chance for a peasant farmer to advance to a high position in Russian society such as General of an army. When you speak to a Russian who hates the Communists, even they admit life was better under the Communists than under the Czars and they always say the same two things. For the first time peasants had medical care and for the first time they received an education. more

Resolved Question: I guess I might not be republican?

I grew up in a conservative family, I'm still very socially conservative since I am Christian. I generally vote for republican candidates (those that don't support abortion) but fiscally/economically I'm confused ever since the economy tanked. Basically I'm anti big spending/ racking up debt, I'm for capitalism and free market because of the fact it creates competition and innovation and fast progress in technology which is always needed. However after following the news of various sources (even fox news) it's clear that greed and corruption in wall st. was a huge part of this mess. I am very anti-greed and corruption and hate it when I see it in businesses and services I use everyday. I hate being nickled and dimed especially as a college student on a less than $1000 budget despite working and selling what I can for income. Basically I just recently read about the recent Financial Reform that was passed and I am clearly for it. I support free market and capitalism but believe that for it to be most effective there needs to be some kind of oversight and transparency to prevent greed and corruption from Big Business that got us into this mess. I am for Businesses that are ethical if that makes sense. I hope to start a Business someday time permitting. But I am not for Big Business controlling everything. I don't think money is the root of all evil but I don't love money either, I believe it's a necessary evil. Basically I'm anti Big Government and Big Business since both are subject to corruption. I think the best way is a mixture of both, meaning capitalism and free market free to do its thing with sufficient oversight and laws to follow to prevent what happened. With this views, should I just consider myself a moderate or independent and stay away from politics or am I still a Republican?@emp: exactly which is why except for this financial reform package I don't support this current administration and obama. I didn't vote for obama. With the health care I am undecided since I don't know enough about it. I do know I'm glad I can be on my parents plan until 26 since I'm 22 now and can't afford my own health care until I graduate later next year.@ruth, that is why I am confused, I want there to be job creation but without some kind of new laws to prevent corruption this economic disaster could happen again someday. more

Resolved Question: Are other people getting annoyed with all these people stating these odd claims?

whenever I ask a question i notice people are not answering the question they simply refer me to this website. First of all I know these work at home sites are scams. who is really going to pay me 1000 usd a week to do data entry if they never even talked to me in person. If I am going to make money on my own I need to have ideas of services that people need such as Tutoring English to foreigners, Fixing peoples computers, and cooking for those who feel they do not have time to prepare their own meals and are tired of eating fastfood. I know when it comes to starting a business it is more of what services you can offer then money you need. It really does not cost anything to tutor a person in English. it does not cost me anything to fix someones computer. sewing buttons or mending shoes i just need needles and thread and some glue. I know that everyone has a skill they can market it is just many do not know how to, Do not have the ability to stick through it, or feel they will fail at it. I feel that the only way to succeed at something is to keep on trucking. There are more opportunities now then there have ever been. People say no one is hiring. High turnover jobs are always high turnover. I understand that when people say there are no jobs available they are referring to those that pay wages that can support a family. When I look at job sites I look at all the listings. I do not know of any employer who wants to be deluged with calls and emails asking for employment if he is not looking to hire someone. Time is just precious as money. I also understand it is harder for certain groups to find jobs then others. According to my research the unemployment rate is lowest for Caucasians then any other race. Education is also a factor. Just graduating high school raises the rate of unemployment. I understand when it comes to race it is very unfair but when I hear how many African Americans and latinos talk i am not interested in having them work for me. I hear them cursing all the time and I have a feeling they talk that way on interviews. I also know some attitudes are poor for jobs. I understand age is a big factor. I know most employers prefer workers between 25 and 40. I am guessing they feel they are less likely to get injured sick or call out. In many fields I understand women are more likely t be disciminated against. I know most employers would rather have a male stock shelves or push carriages. I know that when choosing cashiers they want younger workers. When i go to the Supermarket I try to have someone young ring me up because I feel they would be faster. I also understand younger workers in the eyes of employers are easier to train, more flexible. Older workers are more set in their ways. I also know certain body types are considered more. Most customer service jobs are held by young attractive employees over someone who is obese. I understand that disabled workers have difficulty because employers might think they are going to be slow to learn a new skill. When i go to the Supermarket I would prefer not to have a Disabled person bag my groceries because i fear they will drop something or take longer. I also know that jobs will go to the person most qualifies and many times the only ones who will apply for that type of position is a Disabled person. I am not meaning to be prejudice but it is an observation I have made I also feel people are too pessimistic. I would rather hire someone who jsut considers the economic situation a reason to improve his interviewing skills as opposed to someone who thinks the world will fall apart. Rather then have 9 percent unemployment. we have 90% employment rate. I also know that unemployment is due to many reasons not just layoffs. I know many will not take the first job offered if they are on unemployment. i know a large portion of the unemployed are those who are actively looking for work who are yet still employed. Many are unemployed because they left willingly. i am unemployed because I left my job on my own not because I was fired or laid off. I look casually for jobs as i am going to be a student. i know I really dislike commiting to a job when i prefer variety. I enjoy freelancing more then working for someone else. more

Resolved Question: Does a custodial parent have any real legal custodial duties when it comes to finances?

My father has been appointed the legal custodian of my grandfather. In gaining these responsibilities, the court made it clear that he must fully document all financial dealings concerning my grandfathers affairs. This documentation has been and continues to be reviewed by the court as the court sees fit. Why is a custodial parent called the custodian of a child yet the court couldn't care less what is done with the child support. I pay in excess of $1400 per month for one child yet, when my son comes to see me, he is wearing old clothing, lacks a haircut and informs me that his mom doesn't have the money to buy him these items / services. When I asked the Department of Child Support Services if they would investigate where the money is going, they said that it is none of my business where the money is going and the mother is permitted to spend it as she sees fit. My lawyer made similar statement. How can this be? I am paying "Child Support" for the benefit of my child. Shouldn't the court care where that money goes? Why is it any different then the duties my father is performing. Doesn't the court view the appointment of custody over a elderly person in the same light as a child? It is very frustrating.She claims that she only makes $900 per month however, she works for a construction company in San Diego. She is trained in landscape design / draftsmanship. Though she is never hired full time to draw / design, she generally recieves a bonus for drawing that she does on accounts that are won. These 'bonuses' can add up and while we were married, that portion of her income was a welcome addition. Now that she changed companies and I don't know anyone, she is free to hide under the table income without any fear of me finding out. (sorry for the rant) I am in the military so the court counts my non-taxable housing allowance, which is meant for my current wife and children, as income and considers it when calculating my child support obligation. If I lived onbase and was recieving free housing, they would impugne my income with the amount of housing money that I would have recieved. She is living with her parents yet they didn't add one red cent to her income..such a bias system more

Resolved Question: Etiquette Question--Expressing Sympathy to a Business You Patronize?

I have an odd etiquette question. Within the last few months I started patronizing a business who provides a service. I take classes from the owner at least once a week. They recently had an incident at their business that has been very traumatic for the owner as well as other people involved. I saw her last night in the thick of it when she was incredibly upset and felt horrible for her. I have no knowledge of the incident other than what she told me directly, but depending how it all falls out, things could get ugly for her and/or her business. I think she is a wonderful person and believe strongly in her company and how she runs it, is there a proper way to show her my support? Is it strange or odd to send a note of support as a customer of hers? I am kind of stumped on this one. more

Voting Question: IMPORTANT < THE SPREAD OF RIBA > ?

Allah swt orders us to stay away from riba in the Quran in many places. (Surah 2:275.) Allah uses strong arabic words and the way the ayah is structured illustrates the danger of such a system. Allah warns us that anyone who deals with Riba will be in a war with him and his servent, prophet muhammed pbuh. My question is: The west if not the whole world is unfortunelty covered whith Riba. One way or another. The west glorifies it, and unfortunetly some muslims have followed them. They say that trade is Riba. All schools and universities teach it with bright colours asif its not a crime. Some teachers who claim to be muslims embrace it without mentioning the word of Allah. But Alhamdulilah some muslims have rejected the west. But are they still consuming Riba without knowing it. All electricals, Products, plastics, are all a result of Riba. All westernt industries have been consuming Riba and profiting from it. Are we supporting them (Riba) by consuming their products and services? Which aids their filthy companies to furthur eat Riba. Some muslims adopt a view that there is nothing they can do but consume Riba to stay alive in todays world. But I disagree. You can survive without this filthy action. Or can you? Doesnt Allah say that he will test us through hunger? I just wonder what Allah thinks of us Muslims who turn their backs to the Quran unconsciously. What will happen to us. What does it mean to be in war with Allah? What about those muslims who do not eat Riba directly and turn away from it ethusiastically. They could not possiblly be able to consume in the west without Riba being eaten. In other words, how can they live if there was no businesses who provided 'essential' products and services in which was only possible through Riba investments. Dont forget the massive employment benefits these Riba infested businesses provide society. Can we possible work for these businesses.? If you look at the majority of todays muslims living in the west, I gaurentee that most of them will not want the sharia law. I have heard some even say that it should not be implemented in the west. May Allah forgive us all. Ameen more

Resolved Question: Conspiracy Theory. Do you find most of these thing as Nuts as I do?

Here is a sample of a Spoof on the past and latest. The WTF or World Task Force has released a new comprehensive study into all possible solutions to areas stricken with Over crowed schools, huge economic downturns and the increase in School and Business closures across America and globally. After many years of tax dollars and revenues from various state lottery dollars and taxes on revenues from Casinos the WTF published in the WTF Journal on 7/09/2010 a comprehensive solution to the crisis. According to the report from spokes person and client of WTF Mr. Bullshivik the solution is for children to simply "Not Go." According to the findings this will result in the overall reduction of students so teachers can focus on actually intelligent children who will benefit from a more direct eduction, and though as a by product this will mean more hooligans in the streets joining gangs and becoming likely to increase in involvement with illegal conduct such as drugs a d prostitution, the benefits will far outweigh the crisis as providing more intelligent specialized children, increase in robotic technologies to supplant a dwindling work force, a resulting drop in excessive population issues allowing gang violence to increase and life threatening diseases to take out the extra baggage and justify the discontinuation of public assistance networks and services that are bankrupting the economy. In addition there will be better jobs available for those who abandon these regions who have received the education and such as health-care and related public services can be geared more towards the better social stock of the civilization and in the resulting slums allow nature to take its course. These regions can than be isolated and walled up and allowed to crumble and will be policed by armed soldiers and regional marshals to prevent the isolated regions that will be called WCS or World Controlled Sectors or CICs which are Civil Isolation Centers, to keep UIs or Undesirable Influences from Civil City Regions, or CCRs. Those that would otherwise continue to be a strain on the legal system including inmates from various prisons will also be reassigned to a CIC (pronounced Sick in English) which will further reduce the excessive expenses of having to build larger prison systems on valuable lands and potential centers of much needed resources and can be applied Internationally in order to preserve a Democratic Culture and Civil Society. Political Adviser, Harry Dickers agreed and expect the predominant targeted UIs to be the largest resistance in the New World Restoration Effort of House Bill NWRE 187 which also gives clear and decisive power of private vote to the new and intended UPELG-GA or Unified Political, Executive and Legislative Governance of Global Allience once such a program is initiated and will after a swift Military effort be more than sufficient in initiating the round up program called Operation Ditch the Dirt or ODTD and those who have been causing a financial burden not just in the US but in the World economy. This will include the Homeless, and those who are considered terminally ill, disabled, Mentally deficient or challenged, or don't speak the language, as well as addicts to illegal and prescription drugs, as anyone with any observable and irrevocable debts. The WTF and intended UPELG-GA plan on presenting this to countries with all the research and evidence under a secret UN meeting with nations most likely to support the efforts and the program models in exchange to private resources and shared economic benefits to the officials and their families as a UN bill called WDR or World Divine Retribution and believed it will pass with a 9 out of 10 percentile with the elimination of so called outmoded International laws. In addition the policy will allow for the discontinuation of trades with all other countries whose conditions and technological underdevelopment have only further served to stress global economic infrastructures and will be effectively cut off and allowed to perish at their own hands, and any of those intending to try and invade or sneak into "restricted countries" will be executed as threats to the Global and International security of the intended UPELG-GA. This report by the WTF has been applauded as an intelligent and un-bias approach to solving the present over all crisis the World is enduring and a Tribunal of members of the UPELG-GA will be considered as privately elected International Presidential Members. In addition Science and Technology will be the only accepted social truth in the new GA for short of the UPELG-GA and any and all religions, religious institutions and so forth will be effectively banned as psychologically detrimental to the over all progress of the New World Agenda.

Resolved Question: FAIR's most recent illegal immigration study is bogus?? surprised?

When are people going to learn not to listen to the made up stuff FAIR puts out? are they aware about how biased and unreliable there research is? FAIR's Distorted Fiscal Snapshot of Unauthorized Immigrants Washington D.C. - Today, Fox News is reporting on data provided to them by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) which amounts to a highly misleading fiscal snapshot of the costs allegedly imposed on U.S. taxpayers by unauthorized immigrants. However, in its rush to portray unauthorized immigrants as nothing more than a drain on the public treasury, FAIR completely discounts the economic contributions of unauthorized workers and consumers. Moreover, FAIR inflates their cost estimate by indiscriminately lumping together native-born, U.S.-citizen children with their unauthorized parents. FAIR's report suffers from three fatal flaws: The report notes that the single biggest "expense" it attributes to unauthorized immigrants is the education of their children, yet most of these children are native-born, U.S. citizens who will grow up to be tax-paying adults. It is disingenuous to count the cost of investing in the education of these children, so that they will earn higher incomes and pay more in taxes when they are adults, as if it were nothing more than a cost incurred by their parents. The report fails to account for the purchasing power of unauthorized consumers, which supports U.S. businesses and U.S. jobs.The report ignores the value added to the U.S. economy by unauthorized workers, particularly in the service sector. In contrast to FAIR's report, the Perryman Group estimated that if all unauthorized workers and consumers were somehow removed from the U.S. economy, the United States would lose $552 billion in total economic activity ("expenditures"), $245 billion in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and 2.8 million jobs. AIR's data is meant only to reinforce their vision of "attrition through enforcement." It is not rooted in an effort to move the immigration debate forward. The public and the President have made it clear that deporting 11-12 million immigrants isn't reasonable or feasible. Therefore, passing comprehensive immigration reform - which would yield a cumulative $1.5 trillion in added U.S. gross domestic product over 10 years - is the only sound economic decision the United States can make. http://news.jornal.us/article-5122.FAIRs-Distorted-Fiscal-Snapshot-of-Unauthorized-Immigrants.html more
