Harbaugh's act growing a bit thin?

Brett FavreAP

The Brett Favre playing era ended in 2010. ?The Brett Favre coaching era officially has begun.

When agent Bus Cook recently acknowledged that Favre would be helping out at Oak Grove high school, the place where Favre prepared for his various unretirements, Cook didn?t know what Favre?s precise role would be. ?As it turns out, Favre will serve as offensive coordinator, according to the Associated Press.

And Oak Grove isn?t some rinky-dink school. ?The 6A program at the 1,500-student facility is a perennial power in Favre?s home state of Mississippi.

?The stress is already getting to me,? Favre joked. ??I?ll wake up in the middle of the night saying, ?Hey, maybe we can do this? ?Maybe that will work???

If it doesn?t work, he won?t lose any money. ?He?s doing the job without pay. ?And perhaps for good reason.

?My experience in pro football means nothing,? Favre said. ?Absolutely nothing here. ?It?s totally different. ?So our biggest learning curve as a team might be my learning curve.?

So what does Favre bring to the table?

?I really believe I?m good at reading people,? Favre said. ??From being in the huddle, being in the locker room and in all those meetings for all those years, I understand that some people learn this way and some learn another way. . . . ?My whole job is to try and keep things simple. ?The more you have to think, the less your talent can show.?

It also gives Favre a way to keep busy, without having to leave home.

?One of the reasons I retired in the first place was I wanted to be in one place and experience all these things with my family,? Favre said. ?This year will be a trial basis [for coaching]. ?I feel like I can help the kids, but I?m not promising we?ll win any more games. ?Shoot, we might not win one.?

Favre?s comments help explain why he hasn?t gotten into broadcasting. ?Unlike players, who have 10 road games per year, players-turned-media-members are on the road every week. ?For Favre, he would have been traveling to a game site every Thursday or Friday, or to the ESPN (Connecticut), NBC (New York), CBS (New York), or HBO (L.A.) studios every Friday or Saturday.

Plus, he would have had to wear a tie. ?And something other than flip-flops.

He?ll likely be wearing something other than flip-flops on the sidelines at Oak Grove. ?But there will be no ties, and the travel will entail at most hopping into a bus on Friday afternoon, and getting home late Friday night.

Paralympian Carlos Leon Backs Warrior Games for Injured Veterans ...

This article is sponsored by Citi

Carlos Leon has never hung his head or even thought about feeling sorry for himself.

The 27-year old Paralympian shot put and discus athlete is a former U.S. Marine, but it wasn?t an injury in the line of duty that forced him to relearn how to use his limbs. After a successful tour in Iraq in 2005, Carlos returned to the United States. Visiting Hawaii?s Ala Moana Beach Park in Waikiki, he suffered a blow to the head in a diving accident that paralyzed him from the neck down.

?I was lucky because I had great support from the beginning, which helped keep me from ever being depressed,? Carlos said. ?It was a tough pill to swallow at age 20 and because I was a Marine, which makes you part of an elite group, you think that you?re invincible and then you find out otherwise. But, because I rehabilitated psychologically very quickly, I?ve been able to go on and work hard and embrace the hurt.?

His background as a Marine has helped him with his ?embrace the hurt? mentality, dealing with the pain that goes along with a Paralympic training regiment. Carlos, who hails from North Lauderdale, Fla., took the pain of his initial recovery in silence, too, and eventually was able to begin toning his muscles and regain strength.

Just six months after the accident, a conversation with Paralympian Gabe Diaz de Leon would change his life and send him on a path toward taking advantage of sports programs offered by the Veterans Administration in conjunction with U.S. Paralympics.

For many injured veterans like Carlos, the Warrior Games are an introduction to the world of Paralympic sports and a life-changing experience. The Warrior Games are a competition among wounded, ill and injured servicemen and women from all branches of the military. They come together to show off their fighting spirit and compete in several different sports, including track and field.

?Right away they were saying I had talent and recognized that I was willing to train,? Carlos said. ?Right away I wanted to be a Paralympian. That was late 2005 and in 2007 I made my first Para Pan American team. I was shocked at how na?ve I was to not have known before that this world of athletics existed. I thought it was incredible to see what those athletes can do and it just made me believe even more in what I could do.?

Carlos trains daily for his sport. His day-by-day approach to working out at a gym near his home in Palm Beach has him ?focusing on the process.?

?It?s the process that matters most,? Leon said. ?It?s about good warm ups and good cool downs, stretching and pushing myself. I love working out until my muscles are screaming for me to stop. I work out to hit the wall, and if I?m not hitting the wall of what I can do, I?m not doing it right. I call it bonking out and I love it.?

Carlos made the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games, but unfortunately didn?t make the team for 2012. While he recognizes his days as a Paralympian may be numbered, he isn?t prepared to face a life without athletics.?

?It?s been a crazy ride and I?m still riding that wave,? Carlos said. ?If I step down from being a professional athlete afterwards I don?t think I?ll ever stop being athletic. This has consumed me.

Carlos has chosen to support the Warrior Games through Citi?s unique Every Step of the WaySM program. This allows him to raise funds for a competition that has evolved from the early VA sport programs that helped inspire him. The games pit disabled veterans of the five branches of service against each other in an all-out competition to see which branch is the best in everything from shooting to track and field and power lifting.

?It?s a serious deal for these competitors,? Carlos said. ?For some of them, it?s all they have to keep from getting depressed, so indirectly it?s saving these people. I was a part of the first military sports camp which has evolved into this. I know personally that it can give you something to live for.??

Carlos is one of 13 athletes whom Citi is sponsoring in its Every Step of the WaySMprogram. This innovative digital program benefits U.S. Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls and athletes of all ages in communities across America by allowing fans to help allocate Citi?s ThankYou? Points to Sport Programs through activity on Facebook and Twitter, thereby giving Team Citi athletes the chance to say "thank you" to the Sport Programs that have inspired them.

Citi, a corporate sponsor of Team USA and the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC), has launched its Every Step of the Wayprogram with a $500,000 donation to the USOC, represented by 50 million ThankYou? Points - the currency of Citi ThankYou Rewards. The unique Every Step of the Way program allows fans to help allocate these ThankYou Points to Sport Programs through activity on Facebook and Twitter.

The more fans participate through Facebook and Twitter, the more ThankYou Points they can direct to their Sport Program of choice, until its goal is reached. At the end of the program, the USOC will use Citi's donation to give the cash equivalent of the ThankYou Points directly to the Sport Program matched with the Team Citi athlete.?

WANNA BET?

I wanted Andy Murray. I ended up with Usain Bolt.

My fault, apparently, though I still would have liked to have gotten 5 quid down on Murray at 4-1 to win the Olympic tennis gold. Sweet redemption it would be for Murray after losing in the finals at Wimbledon. Sweet for my wallet, too.

Unfortunately, the tennis had already begun, so the clerk at the William Hill betting parlor on Pentonville Road couldn't book the ticket. So I went with a parlay of Bolt winning the 100- and 200-meter sprints and Jamaica winning the 4x100 relay.

Betting is a national pastime in England, and William Hill and Ladbrokes shops compete every few blocks around London. It's also one of the few places that take Olympic bets ? Vegas doesn't book them ? on everything from Michael Phelps winning two or more gold medals (4/6 odds) to opening ceremony director Danny Boyle getting a knighthood for his work getting the Olympics off to a good start (even money).

On a bustling Monday morning at the Pentonville Road shop, there wasn't much demand for Olympic action. A couple punters (British slang for bettors) were watching a telecast of greyhound racing from Sheffield, but the betting window was otherwise unoccupied.

I got my money in on Bolt and his teammates (at 2/1 odds), then added a bet on Ryan Lochte to win the 200-meter freestyle (3-1) on a lark.

Proof, perhaps, that not all the Olympic action takes place in official venues.

Pest Control for Your Home: Easy and Effective ... - IdeaMarketers.com











Pests such as rodents, ants, bugs, termites and wasps are not only destructive but can also pose danger to your health. This is why they should not be taken for granted. Rats, for instance, carries bacteria that can cause deadly diseases. So to avoid the damage that these pests can cause to your home and your health, here are efficient but easy pest control techniques:

1.Clean Your House

Bugs, rats and other pests are attracted to mess and filth. Even if you leave food on your table or kitchen counter can easily bring pests around. In addition, make sure to dispose your garbage properly into a garbage bin with a lid and keep it always closed.

2.Caulking

Another must to keep your house pest-free or at least to prevent pests from nesting inside your house is caulking. Many people spend a lot of money on pest control products and still wonder why their efforts are not effective. All your efforts will still go to waste if the pests have a point of entry to the inside of your home, so make sure that your house is properly sealed.

3.Use Essential Oils

You can also use essential oils with lemon, lavender and peppermint, and mix a few drops of these oils to a gallon of water for cleaning. The solution does not only help make your house clean and smell good but can also drive pests away.

4.Use Baking Soda

Baking soda mixed with sugar or flour can be used for pest control as well. Put it where mice and roaches frequent so they will find it. Baking soda is discovered to kill mice and roaches simply because they cannot digest it.

5.Use Traps

There are different traps you can buy from your local hardware. Traps are perfect to catch mice and rats in your home. This technique, however, like other mechanical pest control techniques, are only good if there are not many of these pests inside your home.

If the number of pests inside or outside your home is already uncontrollable, you can benefit from using the services from a pest control expert. If you are in Islington, the good news is that there are reputable pest control Islington service providers who can help you eliminate the pests in your home through chemical spray and other methods. The best thing about hiring a pest control contractor is they don't only remove the pests from your house but also prevent them from coming back.

DIY or mechanical methods for removing pests are not effective for large pest infestations. If you are seeing signs of huge pest infestations, the best thing to do is hire a pest control Islington company. A trustworthyIslington pest control firm is not only equipped with effective and efficient equipment to remove pests but they also employ methods which can also prevent pests from coming back.

Romanians vote on whether to impeach president

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) ? Romania is holding a referendum on impeaching President Traian Basescu, part of a political battle that has raised questions about the rule of law in the fledgling EU member.

Basescu's rivals are seeking to impeach him for the second time in five years. They claim the 60-year-old populist violated the constitution by meddling in government business, coddling cronies and using the secret services against enemies.

Basescu says the impeachment process is a political vendetta carried out by opponents plotting to seize control of EU funds and the justice system. He has urged supporters to boycott Sunday's vote in order to nullify it by a low turnout.

The political turmoil has dented Romania's credibility, with the U.S. and the EU expressing doubts about the left-leaning government's respect for the judiciary's independence.

Creativity makes you grow - Saturday Chatter

This morning I watches the recent reboot of Conan, aka Conan the lackluster barbarian with no good lines. Well, that is not fair, nobody had good lines. And it took itself entirely too seriously. Which in the long run is generally a downfall of sword and sorcery movies, esp when they depend on fight scenes, repeating special effects, and naked breasts. Speaking of which.

There is a lot of talking going on about a sexual harassment incident at one of the Cons. Now as you may have noticed, the Saturday chatters have at least a dash of creative writing to speak of.

In this case one has to wonder, where is the border of sexual harassment? A lot of romance novels, at least from dipping into them, contain incidents that would be considered harassment but end up with heaving bosoms, yadda, yadda.

So where do we draw the line? As writers should there be a line? Do we have a duty to just follow our muse, or do we have a responsibility to minimalise the chance of future Conans. Or Conanette's given that sexual harassment is NOT always a male>female activity. It can be male<>male, female<>female and female>male.

Ninety arrested in nationwide synthetic drug crackdown

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Federal agents arrested more than 90 people and seized about 5 million packets of synthetic drugs - known on the street as "bath salts," "K2" and "Spice" - in the first U.S. nationwide crackdown on "designer drugs," the Drug Enforcement Administration said on Thursday.

The DEA said the haul from multi-agency raids in more than 100 U.S. cities included 4.8 million packets of synthetic cannabis, 167,000 packets of "bath salts" and more than $36 million in cash.

Operation Log Jam, which involved the DEA, five federal agencies, state and local police, "has disrupted the entire illegal industry, from manufacturers to retailers," DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart said in a statement.

"Together with our federal, state and local law enforcement partners, we are committed to targeting these new and emerging drugs with every scientific, legislative and investigative tool at our disposal," she said.

Synthetic drugs - with street names like "bath salts" or "plant food" - mimic more traditional illegal narcotics like cocaine, LSD, MDMA and methamphetamine, and have rapidly grown in popularity, the DEA said.

Bath salts have been blamed in several incidents of erratic and violent behavior around the country.

Smokable herbal blends marketed as "Spice," "K2," "Blaze," and "Red X Dawn" and labeled as incense contain illegal psychoactive compounds that mimic THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. They have become popular among teens and young adults, the DEA statement said.

Domestic Abuse Counseling ? Can Domestic Abusers Change ...

?

Do domestic abusers change? Well, that is the sixty-four million dollar question.

Some people will tell you, ?Absolutely not?never.? Other people will say, ?Possibly so.? Then, there are those who have personal experience with domestic abuse counseling and successful outcome in working with abusive relationships.

Domestic Abuse as a Life Condition

We often hear battered women claiming that abuse shelter advocates say, ?Once a batterer?always a batterer.? And this perspective is usually supported by law enforcement, as well.

Their point of view makes perfect sense from their perspective. Think about it. The frame of reference is typically individuals in and out of the shelter system, going from an abusive relationship to protective residence or counsel with an abuse agency?back and forth, over and over again.

For law enforcement, it is not that much different. They are looking at couples that repeatedly lure them back into their homes on domestic calls. The officers see one domestic assault after another, often with escalating violence.

Domestic Abuse as a Relationship Dysfunction

Relationship therapists see domestic abuse as a ?relationship? condition. They employ couple?s/marital therapy strategies to facilitate change in the abusive relationship.

Unfortunately, what often happens is that the dynamics underlying the abusive relationship solidify. This can be dangerous for the abused partner, as you may know if you have experienced failed couples therapy for domestic abuse.

Domestic Abuse as a Batterer?s Condition

Individuals who employ change strategies for what they see as a batterer?s condition breathe a breath of fresh air into the equation. These people understand the operative dynamics in play when it comes to domestic violence. And they are equipped with appropriate strategies to effect change for couples in abusive relationships.

This is the group of people who will tell you, ?Yes, abusers can change.? They witness positive outcome changes in the batterers that they treat.

Their interventions focus on batterer accountability and responsibility. When most effective, their therapies with have both a cognitive and behavioral component?and the outcomes are visible in the relationships and lives of the people that they help.

If you are in an abusive relationship and wonder if it can ever change, consider your options. Then, reach into your own place of knowing for your answers. If you are clear that it is time to move on, then do so with a proper safety plan in place.

If, on the other hand, you still question the potential for change in your abusive partner and ultimately in your relationship?consider your options thoroughly. Learn about domestic abuse counseling and domestic violence interventions?to break the larger cycle of family violence.

HTC Facebook phone may hit in 'mid-2013': Bloomberg

9 hrs.

One tech industry rumor so persistent there's no way it's totally NOT true is that there's a Facebook phone in the works, and that HTC is developing it. According to a?Bloomberg report on Wednesday, the due date for this unconfirmed phone is now "mid-2013."

"BREAKING: Facebook is said to work with HTC on a mobile phone for mid-2013," read the message from the Bloomberg West video team ? fittingly served up on Facebook. A similar post hit Twitter at the same time, along with?a video containing more details.?

"Sources with knowledge of the matter say the companies had intended to release the device as early as at the end of this year, but pushed back the timetable to give HTC more time to work on other products," said anchorperson Emily Chang, who then interviewed tech reporter Tom Giles about the scoop.

Giles didn't have a lot more to say on the subject of the new phone, however. Instead, he discussed mobile software developers from Apple who have gone over to Facebook to work on improving the Facebook iPhone app (infamously held in low regard by many).

Giles didn't connect the Apple folks to the Facebook phone project.?He did suggest that, like previous reports, the Facebook phone's OS would likely be Android, but deeply redesigned to suit Facebook's needs.?

This Android-based approach is similar to the way Amazon redesigned Android for its Kindle Fire tablet ? and what Amazon very well may be doing for its own rumored smartphone.

HTC, who we've reached out to, is currently mum on the subject, and Facebook is sharing with reporters a version of the tune it's been singing for ages. It currently goes, "Our mobile strategy is simple: We think every mobile device is better if it is deeply social. We?re working across the entire mobile industry; with operators, hardware manufacturers, OS providers, and application developers to bring powerful social experiences to more people around the world."

(A couple of years back, it was, "...?with operators, hardware manufacturers and app developers to bring Facebook to mobile phones in a variety of unique and exciting ways.")

Either way you slice it, two things are true:?

1) Facebook needs to figure out this mobile thing.?

2) Figuring out this mobile thing is really hard.

Facebook's tightest ally may be Apple, especially now that there's deep Facebook integration on Macs (with OS X Mountain Lion) and on iPads and iPhones that upgrade to iOS 6 this fall. But while Facebook use via iPhone may surge with the features, Facebook doesn't make money directly from that interaction, since the social network can't exactly serve up ads inside of Apple's own system interface.

The minute a Facebook phone is unleashed, Facebook's best bud will become its fiercest competitor. This is almost the definition of a catch-22.

So what's the real reason for the delay? "To give HTC more time to work on other products," like Bloomberg said? HTC has been struggling a bit, so it is possible that it needs to regain momentum in the mainstream Android market. But that's also a good argument for HTC to rush to get a Facebook phone in the market. It could be Facebook who is delaying, trying to get its strategy in order before it makes an irrevocable move, straight into Apple's crosshairs.

Men with prostate cancer more likely to die from other causes ...

? Prostate Cancer news ? Jul 26, 2012

Men diagnosed with prostate cancer are less likely to die from the disease than from largely preventable conditions such as heart disease, according to a new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). It is the largest study to date that looks at causes of death among men with prostate cancer, and suggests that encouraging healthy lifestyle changes should play an important role in prostate cancer management.

?Our results are relevant for several million men living with prostate cancer in the United States,? said first author Mara Epstein, a postdoctoral researcher at HSPH. ?We hope this study will encourage physicians to use a prostate cancer diagnosis as a teachable moment to encourage a healthier lifestyle, which could improve the overall health of men with prostate cancer, increasing both the duration and quality of their life.?

The study was published July 25, 2012 in the Advance Access online Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed form of cancer, affecting one in six men during their lifetime. While incidence of prostate cancer has greatly increased in the United States, Sweden, and other Western countries in recent decades, the likelihood that a newly diagnosed man in these countries will die from the disease has declined. The researchers attribute this to the widespread use of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, which has resulted in a higher proportion of men diagnosed with lower-risk forms of the disease.?

The researchers examined causes of death among prostate cancer cases recorded in the U.S. Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (over 490,000 men from 1973 to 2008) and the nationwide Swedish Cancer and Cause of Death registries (over 210,000 men from 1961 to 2008).

The results showed that during the study period, prostate cancer accounted for 52% of all reported deaths in Sweden and 30% of reported deaths in the United States among men with prostate cancer; however, only 35% of Swedish men and 16% of U.S. men diagnosed with prostate cancer died from this disease. In both populations, the risk of prostate cancer-specific death declined, while the risk of death from heart disease and non-prostate cancer remained constant. The five-year cumulative incidence of death from prostate cancer was 29% in Sweden and 11% in the United States.

Death rates from prostate cancer varied by age and calendar year of diagnosis, with the highest number of deaths from the disease among men diagnosed at older ages and those diagnosed in the earlier years of the surveys (especially in the years before the introduction of PSA screening).

?Our study shows that lifestyle changes such as losing weight, increasing physical activity, and quitting smoking, may indeed have a greater impact on patients? survival than the treatment they receive for their prostate cancer,? said senior author Hans-Olov Adami, professor of epidemiology at HSPH.

###

The study was supported by Karolinska Institutet Distinguished Professor Award, a National Institutes of Health research training grant (R25 CA098566), and a postdoctoral grant from Svenska S?llskapet f?r Medicinsk Forskning.

Symptoms And Signs Of Brain Cancer

People with a brain cancer may acknowledge the subsequent symptoms or signs. From time to time, people with a brain tumor do not confirm any of these symptoms. Or, these symptoms may be caused by a medicinal condition that is not a brain cancer. If you are worried about a symptom or sign on this list, please talk with your medical doctor.

Symptoms of a brain cancer can be universal (caused by the pressure of the growth on the brain or spinal cord) or precise (caused an exact part of the brain not functioning normally). For a lot of people with a brain cancer, they were diagnosed when they went to the doctor because of certain symptoms. General symptoms include:

  • Headaches, which may be brutal and may degenerate with activity or in the early morning
  • Seizures: Motor seizures, also known as convulsions, are sudden unconscious movements of a person?s muscles. People may acknowledge diverse types of seizures, including myclonic and tonic-clonic (grand mal). Assured drugs can assist prevent or control them.
  • Personality or remembrance changes
  • Nausea or queasiness

Symptoms that may be specific to the location of the tumor include:

  • Pressure or annoyance near the tumor
  • Loss of equilibrium and intricacy with fine motor skills (cerebellum)
  • Changes in verdict, counting loss of inventiveness, listlessness, and muscle weakness or paralysis (frontal lobe of the cerebrum)
  • unfinished or absolute loss of vision (occipital lobe or temporal lobe of the cerebrum)
  • Changes in talking, hearing, reminiscence, or touching state, such as assertiveness and problems in understanding or retrieving words (forward and chronological lobe of cerebrum)
  • Altered perception of touch or pressure, arm or leg weakness on one side of the body, or confusion with left and right sides of the body (frontal or parietal lobe of the cerebrum)
  • helplessness to look upward (pineal tumor)
  • Lactation (discharge of breast milk) and misrepresented menstrual periods in women, and enlargement in hands and feet in adults (pituitary tumor)
  • complexity in swallowing, facial weakness or numbness, or double vision (brain stem)
  • Vision changes, together with loss of part of the vision or double vision (temporal lobe, occipital lobe, or brain stem)

If a tumor is diagnosed, relieving symptoms and side effects remains a significant part of your care and treatment. This may also be called sign management, soothing care, or encouraging care. Be certain to talk with your fitness care panel about symptoms you acknowledge, including any fresh symptoms or a alteration in symptoms.

Getting ready for London! | Maria Michta&#39;s Journey to London

Getting it done with the help of my girls Rachel and Shannon

Tuesday July 24th was my last hard quality workout before leaving for London. On the agenda was 3x4k. Monday night I had gotten one of the high school girls Shannon O'Hehir to agree to ?jog next to me. This pumped me up and I was excited for another great hard training session. Unfortunately Tuesday the weather had returned to being hot & humid , not ideal for cranking fast splits. Tim warned me not to go too fast in the beginning and to heat adjust my target times. While by no means was it my best workout it, it still has shaped me to be a stronger tougher athlete. Thanks to Shannon, Rachel, Coach Schaub, and Joey who rotated through accompanying me during the workout. It helps more than you know!


After my last track session I grabbed a quick bite to eat and then it was off to Ashley (Bean's) house to get my nails festively painted for London. She is extremely talented with nail polish and a fine brush.

Awesome!

I not only got the American Flag and British Flag, but also the Olympic Rings and either London or 2012 underneath the rings! They came out amazing!!! Thanks!

Then I had the rest of the day for packing. Had to get another pair of trainers from 2nd Wind, luckily they still had my size left. Then I stopped at Target and purchased some essential snacks. I didn't go over board with packing my own food and cooking supplies as this time A) the water is safe to drink which opens up a lot more food possibilities B) it's the Olympics and I am told they have everything there!

By 6:30pm Tues night I was off to the Nesconset Summer Series Concert where I was being honored by Legislator John Kennedy and the whole Nesconset community. I was really touched by everyone's support and enthusiasm. I really enjoyed meeting the young kids there who wanted pictures and autographs. There were also some great posters that some of the kids drawn. Thanks Nesconset, I am proud to represent our community over in London!

Saying see ya later at the airport

I finished packing after returning from the concert and went to bed around 1am. The next morning I got to sleep in on the later side until 8am and got in my very last race walk in NY before heading to London. Before I knew it, it was time to head to the airport. I was flying direct on Delta from JFK into LHR. It was sad to say goodbye to my family, especially Joey. At least I know they will be joining me in London!

See ya later NY, it's time to live my dream in London!

Kipon preps Canon EF lens adapters for Micro Four Thirds, NEX cameras with electronic control

Kipon preps Canon EF lens adapters for Micro Four Thirds, NEX with electronic control, preserves your glass collection

Adapters to fit Canon's EF lenses on Micro Four Thirds and NEX camera bodies most definitely aren't new. Without any electronic link, though, that Lumix GX1 or NEX-F3 owner has had to focus by hand, sometimes without any aperture control -- what year is it, 1930? Kipon wants to make sure you'll never have to stoop to that level again through a pair of new adapters that keep the electronic controls working. As always with these parts, there's likely to be catches: we don't know the prices and ship dates, for one, and lens conversion can still hurt the autofocus speed. Even so, anyone who's been hoarding (or simply envious of) Canon glass now doesn't have to eye an EOS-M just to get a mirrorless camera with the lens adapter they crave.

janek cartwright: News and Society Blog-Economics: Capitalism ...

Over the past weekend I've been reading a very famous popular book by Peter Drucker "Post-Capitalist Society," which he had produced in 1993. Dr. Drucker is obviously a fan of capitalism, but he also approaches it from a free-market and academic displacement simultaneously. As much as I am bothered by his comments on "post capitalism" and want very much to disagree with his conclusions in this work, he does bring up a number of good points. Okay so let's talk about this for second shall we?

Dr. Drucker tells us of a time period when capitalism attained its capital "C" as it was not just an economic term, but also a socio-economic term. It was indeed a noun as well is a verb. Currently, I would say that we have a severe challenge in Washington DC with negative connotations which go along with the word capitalism, and it is by far a travesty considering all we are and all that we have built. There are many in Washington DC now, generally left-leaning socialist, or Democrats who refuse to capitalize the word capitalism in our nation's capital.

It's as if they do not feel the word is honorable any longer, and purposely go out of their way to show their discontent. In many regards one could say that it proves that the United States has lost her way, and is following the European Union, South America, and other faltered socialist economies into the abyss. Remember, those folks in Washington DC do dictate quite a bit of policy, and create the rules and regulations on business. Indeed, they also make laws that include the social welfare of our society, which makes it even more alarming.

The word capitalism has been capitalized for well over 100 years. To degrade the word, or call it evil in the midst of class warfare with the intention of dividing the people of this great nation does a disservice to our nation's history, and our forward progression. I often find it interesting that those who are socialist leaning call themselves progressives, when socialism is indeed regressive in every regard. It hasn't actually worked anywhere it's ever been tried.

In this work Peter Drucker insists that in the future we will have a knowledge-based economy, where knowledge is more important skill, and yet, I tend to disagree with at least half of his comments because it is those that "do" and their causation which is bringing forth increased productivity by doing, not those who sit around thinking and analyzing what was done the prior. One can sit around and talk about how things should be in a perfect utopian world, but it will surely take a capitalist, or an entrepreneurial capitalist who will make it happen.

Further, to allow socialist intellectual thinkers - self-proclaimed in my opinion because I believe that to be an oxymoron - to dictate policy and destroy our money system in trade for this futuristic economy based on knowledge alone is laughable. We already have found that knowledge is readily accessible, and relatively free. Unless all the knowledge of the world is collected in one place and walled off from society where only a few people possess the knowledge therefore can control the economy, then all the knowledge will be owned by all the people.

In this regard, all it does is level the playing field and make knowledge absolutely worthless, rather merely a baseline, which actually isn't so bad. If everyone has access to the same knowledge, then how can we build an economic structure upon it? Many have stated that the United States needs knowledge workers, and we need to be the creators, innovators, and designers of tomorrow's future. In other words, we will design and create everything, and it will be manufactured in places with abundant labor.

That will not happen, because if knowledge is available everywhere, whether it is stolen by intellectual property theft, or specifically taught to other nations for reasons of liberty and freedom, it will still be universally known, and therefore there will be no advantage to the United States or the Western world. In other words, it is quite possible that a knowledge-based economy cannot exist with free and fair trade, or with knowledge being distributed on the Internet worldwide as it is today.

Further, other nations do not need abundant labor to produce and manufacture anything, because the next generation of robots will be doing all the work. In fact, we will soon learn that we have far too many people on the planet who are not actually needed for anything, other than to consume, but are of no value in a knowledge-based economy because their skill is no longer needed, and their knowledge is already known - while robots can do the rest.

A utopian civilization or global economy based on knowledge, will not work - it's not that it can't work, it's that we'd have to destroy everything to make it work and create a new class-system with similar if not even more problems in the process, without knowing the end results therefore;

Peter Drucker is wrong!

It's nice that Dr. Drucker has produced this book, and it was interesting from an intellectual standpoint in reading, although it was written in 1993, not claiming to be a prediction the future, but rather a warning of what was, and what was to come. Apparently, he got it wrong. That's okay, it's still worth reading, and I would recommend it to anyone in that regard. They say knowledge is power, but if everyone has the same knowledge, then everyone has the power, and therefore there is no power at all.

This is much that can to the parent who tells their Son he is so very special, and then the parent tells the neighbor kid he is special, and then their son asks; "I thought you said I was special?" And the parent says; "you are special, and he is special, because everyone is special." Then her son makes a statement of intellectual revelation; "if everyone is special, then nobody is."

Likewise, if everyone has the same knowledge, then knowledge has no value. Interestingly enough, humans are putting all of their knowledge online, and making it available to the world. Even those who have specialized knowledge will find others with the same knowledge putting it online, even if they keep their own knowledge to themselves. Therefore their secret knowledge or skills that they possess are no longer secret at all, nor are they worth anything.

If we destroy our capitalist society, devalue our money, claim to be entering an era of post-capitalism, and then show up at the door with the theory that; knowledge is power - then indeed we will be both broke and powerless. That doesn't sound like a very good plan to me. How about you? Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
