Lots of techie problems this week and it shows. Took almost 5 hours to do what normally takes 45 minutes.
Biggest problem is that GOOGLE READER changed. Silently, no notice. Now I can NOT cut ‘n’ paste an expanded series of stories.
No way; no how.
Chrome, Firefox, and Opera — all act the same.
Why I don’t like “the cloud”!!!

Executive Summary
* Many of today’s current job positions will vanish as the debt that has made them possible retraces
* Future demand for work will come from non-financial sectors
* Cost management will re-assert it’s importance on par with income growth
* Non-market and hybrid work models will grow to employ many more people than they do now
* Participation in social and capital networks (both physical and virtual) will become increasingly valuable

This goes along with, or at least concurs, that the meme of a “job” has forever changed. Not necessarily for the good. No memo has been issued — “Attention Kmart shoppers; the metaphor is changing. Please adjust your paradigms and meme. Failure to do so will cause unnecessary pain.” Argh! I know, in at least one case, where imho the parents are steering their child into the old meme (i.e., seek lifetime employment with steady salary, benefits, and pension). OTOH I know another parent that is raising “entrepreneurial” children. Who’s to say who’s right and who’s wrong. But it certainly seems that fmpov one can. YMMV, fjohn

Subject: Google Wave Sunsetting in 2012
Dear Wavers,
More than a year ago, we announced that Google Wave would no longer be developed as a separate product. At the time, we committed to maintaining the site at least through to the end of 2010. Today, we are sharing the specific dates for ending this maintenance period and shutting down Wave. As of January 31, 2012, all waves will be read-only, and the Wave service will be turned off on April 30, 2012. You will be able to continue exporting individual waves using the existing PDF export feature until the Google Wave service is turned off. We encourage you to export any important data before April 30, 2012.
If you would like to continue using Wave, there are a number of open source projects, including Apache Wave. There is also an open source project called Walkaround that includes an experimental feature that lets you import all your Waves from Google. This feature will also work until the Wave service is turned off on April 30, 2012.
For more details, please see our help center.
Yours sincerely,
The Wave Team

You have received this mandatory email service announcement to update you about important changes to your Google Wave account.

This should make anyone wary of depending upon any “free” services. “Cloud” translates to “Could disapear at the providers’ whim”. Yeah, this could never happen to “GMail” or “Yahoo” or … or … — time to wake up folks. If you ain’t paying for it, you may not have it. And, even that’s no guarantee. ?????
And how or why would you try to copyright an email like this? A lawyer’s wet dream!

“Appears that there is a 2nd grader telling the kids that there is no Santa.”
Sorry, but parents should NEVER lie to their children. Ever! They have to be able to KNOW that Mom, but especially Dad, will tell me “the truth” as best as they know it. Imagine what goes on in their little brains when it dawn on them, that the two people their whole life depends on, will look them right in the eye, smile, and lie like a used car salesman. Bad! If they can’t depend on getting the truth from Mom and Dad, who then? (Uncle Ferd!) And, then folks wonder why children turn into teenagers that don’t listen, or respect their parents. Now, you don’t have to tell them everything you know (e.g., sex, income tax rates, how a motor works, how much work stinks, worries). But you don’t have to correct their assumptions, erroneous memes, and | or incorrect paradigms. Just do NOT lie!

The Doomsday Project and Deep Events: JFK, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and 9/11
by Peter Dale Scott
Global Research
*** begin quote ***
Let me say in conclusion that for a half century American politics have been constrained and deformed by the unresolved matter of the Kennedy assassination. According to a memo of November 25 1963, from Assistant Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach, it was important then to persuade the public that “Oswald was the assassin,” and that “he did not have confederates.”70 Obviously this priority became even more important after these questionable propositions were endorsed by the Warren Report, the U.S. establishment, and the mainstream press. It has remained an embarrassing priority ever since for all succeeding administrations, including the present one. There is for example an official in Obama’s State Department (Todd Leventhal), whose official job, until recently, included defense of the lone nut theory against so-called “conspiracy theorists”71
If Oswald was not a lone assassin, then it should not surprise us that there is continuity between those who falsified reports about Oswald in 1963, and those who distorted American politics in subsequent deep events beginning with Watergate. Since the deep event of 1963 the legitimacy of America’s political system has become vested in a lie – a lie which subsequent deep events have helped to protect.72

There’s no doubt among my circle that I wear a tin foil hat. That being said, I mere point out that there are logical questions that seem unanswered. The implications of those questions upset “We, The Sheeple” and, since there is no “intellectual curiosity” about “unpleasant topics”, they accept the “jumbo shrimp”, “tooth fairies”, and such with an amazing lack of concern.
And, label all that don’t with the labels “crackpot”, “conspiracy nut”, and “weirdo”.
I remember the disparagement heaped upon my “crazy” uncle Louie, who was a little nuts (i.e., he owned a gun in even then “liberal” New York), when at the Tday feast, he’d insist to his male peers over a beer that “FDR caused Pearl Harbor”. I can remember him reciting the same five points over and over again. I wish I’d take notes. (But then I wish that about a lot of things.) It wasn’t until he was long dead and buried that I found an read “The Pearl Harbor Deception” by Robert Stinnett that made a very persuasive case that crazy Uncle Louie wasn’t so crazy. I wonder what will happen, what books will be written, that will confirm other “crazy” ideas.
In this long paper, i found one element “interesting”.
“According to a memo of November 25 1963, from Assistant Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach, it was important then to persuade the public that “Oswald was the assassin,” and that “he did not have confederates.”
Why would this be “important” to an Assistant Attorney General?
See the essence of being a tin foil hat is to find more and more threads that just, when followed, lead “We, The Sheeple” to an inevitable truth. We’ve been getting screwed by the political class for a long time. We just don’t know it.
Yet!

I was unable to complete the challenge.
No excuses, but I chose to work on other higher priorities.
Maybe next November.
Argh!
Feel bad, but that’s what happens when you say “yes” to quickly.

Movers, deputies refuse to evict 103-year-old woman
Movers and sheriff’s deputies refused to evict 103-year-old from her home Tuesday.
By Ryan Young
*** begin quote ***
ATLANTA, Ga. —
A 103-year-old woman and her 83-year-old daughter were just moments from being evicted from their home Tuesday, when sheriff’s deputies and the moving company hired by the bank decided not to go through with the action.
Channel 2’s Ryan Young was there when the family started thanking God for the miracle. At just three weeks shy of her 104th birthday, Vinia Hall has shared her home on Penelope Road in Northwest Atlanta with her daughter for 53 years.

Good for them.
Some common sense!
