Ancient government

This six weeks i learned that Governments of the foundations period changed throughout the years or periods. Ancient Greece  is the civilization  lasting from the eight to the sixth centuries BC to the end and beginning of the middle ages. Classical Greek culture had a powerful influence on the Roman empire, which carried a version of it to the Mediterranean region and Europe.  The Greek philosophers on the constitution of Carthaginians was that the Greek settlers wanted their independence so they went on a rebellion which eventually turned into the Roman  consulship.This was worth speaking about. They did not agree with the kings and they didn't want to listen to them and the elders so they opposed them.

After destruction of Brutus and Cassius, there was no longer an army. Tacitus was the senator and historian of the Roman civilization which wrote books. The annal is among the first known rare historic records to mention Christ. The Hebrew said in Samuel the lord will appoint from his commanders of groups of thousands and hundreds of soldiers. He will command and approach them to do as he say which is farming and agriculture. he wants the daughters to be the bakers. If you don't obey the lord will not answer to what you want. The people of the kingdom didn't believe what Samuel's warning said so they went along with the other nations and had a king rule.
The heaven attracts kindness is sent from death and spirits. criminals get away with things like its OK but its not. others suffer for their offenses. Those who have no crime are blamed and is discriminated. there is no stopping of the troubles. People stop caring and move away like leaders and fighters, unwilling to help those who need it. Those in various states have the same problem but everybody act like its OK . But then turn to god for help, but its to late your evil ways have took over.

China's first emperor had made its laws manifest, he encouraged farming. He was during the warning state period; Qin had unified China. After he had unified china he and his chief advisor had passed a series economic and political reforms. He created a way for the Chinese to become successful. He believed the common people know peace and have lay aside weapons and amour. He has regulated many local customs caring for the common people.
Egyptians who had a leader that decides to rule a great number of men. Help Justice not be disturbed since it hasn't since the age of Ptah.. to keep the laws clear and make sure they aren't broken or violence isn't taken place. They don't want no one to inspire men with fear. Ptah doesn't want no one to provide peace ; it will be then be that only they will freely give what has been from them by fear. There was many types of acts that were pursued in different ways many government that were alike and different but they have mostly changed over the periods of time; Most have their own oppion

Dallas sets record with 70th 100-degree day

Dallas sets record with 70th 100-degree day

The National Weather Service said the high Tuesday at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport reached triple digits for the 70th day this year. It broke a record from the 1980 summer that was considered the standard-bearer for Texas heat waves.
Wichita Falls broke its 1980 record several weeks ago, and Tuesday marked its 100th day of 100 degrees this year, according to weather service figures.
Dallas-Fort Worth became the 15th market among 19 around Texas to break a record for triple-digit days this year.
Several Texas cities have nearly doubled records, and College Station broke a 94-year-old record this year.

Bank of America upheaval an opportunity for local competitors

Bank of America upheaval an opportunity for local competitors

Giant drops 30,000 jobs, makes other cost-cuts



On the day last week that Bank of America announced sweeping cost-cuts, including the elimination of 30,000 jobs, executives at BlueRidge Bank celebrated a milestone for the three-year-old financial company.
The Frederick-based community bank opened a retail branch in Towson, doubling its staff and adding to its existing commercial lending business in the Baltimore region.
"We're expanding in contrast to other banks that are downsizing," said J. Brian Gaeng, chief executive of BlueRidge Bank celebrated a milestone for the three-year-old financial company


Bank of America's move to slash $5 billion a year comes as many financial institutions look for ways to boost profits in the face of a sluggish economy and new regulations that are expected to drive up costs. Although Bank of America — the largest financial institution in Maryland — did not provide a breakdown of job reductions by region, the Baltimore area is expected to get hit with layoffs and other cuts, analysts say.
But the upheaval also offers a potential upside here: Opportunities for smaller banks like BlueRidge to snatch up new clients and expand their business, and potential benefits for consumers.
"The smart bankers are saying … 'Could we get some of their loan clients, deposit relationships? Could we buy some of the branches?'" said Brian Casey, a Towson banking consultant.
For consumers, the continuing shake-up in the local banking market could mean better service and products, as competitors and community banks seek to attract new clients, analysts said. Some customers are looking for a more personal touch after seeing their banks change hands many times, banking consultants said.
"They've been disgruntled with their current banks," said Anita Newcomb, who runs a banking consulting firm in Columbia. "That has created opportunities for community banks."
Added Clifford Rossi, a former bank executive and regulator who teaches at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business, "You might see some slight benefit for the community banks, but don't count Bank of America out."
Financial institutions nationwide, still recovering from the financial crisis, are shoring up capital levels and dealing with problem loans.
Baltimore's banking market, too, has undergone changes in the wake of the mortgage crisis. Six banks in the state have failed, while a dozen others remain under federal supervision to raise more capital.
Two longtime Maryland institutions, Mercantile Bankshares Corp. and Provident Bankshares Corp., have been sold to out-of-state banks.
Over the years, Bank of America has established a significant footprint in Maryland. It holds $22.5 billion in deposits, or nearly 20 percent of the market, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
In the Baltimore region, the bank has an even larger share, with 26 percent of the market and more than 100 branches.
The company employs about 4,000 workers in Maryland, including about 1,100 at a credit card operations center in Hunt Valley.
Nancy Bush, a banking analyst and a contributing editor at SNL Financial, said Baltimore will be less affected than other markets by the job cuts because "it's still a growth market.
"Northern Virginia, Maryland and D.C. That whole market is very desirable in the banking industry," she said. "Because of the federal government and job growth, Baltimore will be one of the markets where they don't want to disturb too much of their retail footprint."
Still, Bank of America has been shedding jobs in Maryland. The bank laid off 39 people at its Hunt Valley card services center and an additional 18 people at an office in Columbia this year, according to state labor officials.
The bank said its latest restructuring, announced Sept. 12, will address consumer banking, credit card and home loan businesses, along with technology and support operations. Attrition and elimination of unfilled positions will make up a "significant" portion of the job cuts, the bank said.
Bank of America also plans to close about 10 percent of its branches in the coming years.

Taser issue at Cowboys-Jets baffling

Archive

Security GuardsTom Hauck/Getty ImagesSecurity guards get some instructions before a game. Wonder if a taser is mentioned?


Are you baffled by the story last weekend of the Dallas Cowboys fan who got into a brouhaha with a former Marine at MetLife Stadium? The baffling part is that Leroy McKelvey ended the dispute by tasering the other guy.
Come again? The NFL tries hard to please everyone but, as far as I know, it never sells tasers during games. "Get your taser, right here! Can't enjoy the game without a taser!"
McKelvey apparently brought it in. And according to his son, New York DJ Charlamagne Tha God, he was wearing it on his hip.
That's not good.


Perhaps the problem is too many of the folks hired to put on a yellow "Security" shirt and inspect the incoming crowd are as old as I am. To me and others, all the new electronic gizmos look alike. You could hold me up by pointing your BlackBerry at me and I'd never know the difference.
So the yellow shirts have got to try a little harder. Besides, for some of us, a little pat down is the highlight of the week.
Before we get to some truly tasty dishes in the main portion of this Sunday Brunch, here are a few more appetizers:
• Did you hear NFL Network deep thinker Michael Irvin explain the symbolism of the Colts not being prepared for the loss of Peyton Manning? His comment went like this: ""The young ladies today ... they're not learning from mom ... how to cook. We're losing recipes. ... That's the reality." Sure it is, Michael. Thanks to the NFL, we have a serious recipe gap.
• Please be on the lookout for an erratic war eagle displaying signs of a severe concussion. If found, please alert the University of Alabama athletic department as they promise to give the eagle all the care it deserves.
• We're going to be asked every Monday night if we're ready for some football. Will anyone care if we aren't?
• Be honest: Would you really hate it if we had a 50-game NBA regular season that didn't start until football was nearly over?


• Late Breaking News: After the NFL's opening weekend drew 107.4 million TV viewers, NFL owners have confirmed there will be another lockout in 2012.
Now the main courses of the Brunch, which are particularly fine: • We often close with sports humorist Greg Cote of the Miami Herald but this time he leads off with one of his outstanding notes columns. This one begins with his search for a nickname for the Miami Dolphins' defense after it gave up a historic amount of passing yardage to Tom Brady. Read his notes here.


• Let's jump to The Wall Street Journal for two strong stories about golf. First John Paul Newport examines the names of the 13,000 registered golf courses in this country. My favorites are Nutters Crossing and Krooked Kreek, which probably says more about me than it does about golf. You decide by reading it here.


• In our second selection from the Journal, Stephen Miller tells us about Ralph J. Lomma, 87, who died last week. Mr. Lomma opened about 6,000 miniature golf courses in this country over the last 60 years. If you ever hit a ball through a windmill and into an alligator's mouth, chances are you had Mr. Lomma to thank. Check it out here.


• Our prized feature of the Brunch is a long and compelling examination of the NCAA titled "The Shame of College Sports." It's from The Atlantic and it's written by Taylor Branch, who happens to be a Pulitzer Prize winner. Read this here and you'll understand why.


• We close with a shameless plug. I comment on and predict the outcome of every NFL game along with providing a free contest where you can try to beat me and everyone else. Try it here.

Have a great Week 2.

GOP Frustration Grows With Obama Approach to Jobs, Deficit

Published September 18, 2011
| FoxNews.com
obama_raleighspeech_091411.jpg
AP
President Obama gestures as he speaks on his American Jobs Act legislation Sept. 14 at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, N.C.
Republican frustration is growing with President Obama's revamped approach to deficit reduction and job creation, as he prepares to unveil the latest plank in his economic roadmap Monday.
The tone from the party has changed markedly over the past two weeks. When Obama delivered his jobs speech to Congress earlier this month, GOP leaders greeted the address with blanket statements welcoming the opportunity to work together on proposals that will grow the economy.
But then the president proposed paying for those items with tax increases. And in the president's plan for long-term deficit reduction set for release Monday, he's expected to call for a new tax rate for people making more than $1 million a year.
Republicans who want the next phase of deficit reduction to focus on entitlements ripped into Obama on Sunday, urging him to take a new tack before it's too late.
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., chairman of the House Budget Committee, questioned whether the stage could be set for a bipartisan agreement. 
"When the president does things like this, it leads me to believe that he's not in bipartisan consensus-making mood. He's in a political class warfare mode and campaign mode. And that's not good for our economy," Ryan said on "Fox News Sunday."
Obama's deficit-reduction plan will be pitched to the bipartisan "super committee," which is trying to find about $1.5 trillion in deficit savings over the next decade -- the president will push for at least $2 trillion in savings, in part to cover the cost of his $447 billion jobs plan.
Ryan said the committee would have been a "good vehicle" through which to achieve tax reform by striking deductions, simplifying the code and lowering tax rates -- all while cutting spending. He said details coming out of the White House cause him to "second-guess myself." With some calling on the bipartisan committee to go big, Ryan suggested Washington shouldn't get its hopes up. 
"We should hold our expectations down on the select committee and let's just get another down payment on debt. There's so much spending that needs to be cut," Ryan said.
Ryan also slammed the president's jobs proposal, which includes a blend of tax breaks, infrastructure spending and local government aid. While he expressed interest in one proposal to retrain the long-term unemployed, Ryan said that even the payroll tax cut component of Obama's plan is a bad idea.
"It hasn't worked, and especially when you're taking these temporary tax rebates and paying for them with permanent tax increases, that is actually self-defeating," he said. "So, we just don't want to go with ideas that have already proven to fail."
Other Republicans complain that, with the president taking his case to voters in battleground states, the debate has been imbued with too much politics almost from the start.
Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell last week called the jobs bill a "campaign proposal." 
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that the millionaire tax idea is a "political move," pushing instead for ideas that would "flatten the tax code." 
But McConnell also said Sunday that "the window's not closed" to working with the president.
"There actually are things we agree on," McConnell said on NBC's "Meet the Press." 
Citing bipartisan cooperation that yielded agreements on welfare reform during the Clinton administration and tax reform during the Reagan administration, McConnell said periods of divided government present "the perfect time to do big stuff."
Despite the rhetoric on both sides, McConnell predicted a "major bipartisan accomplishment" out of the deficit committee. As for the millionaire tax -- which the White House is calling the "Buffett Rule," after Warren Buffet who complained he was paying taxes at a lower rate than his secretary -- McConnell said it's a bad idea in a downturn.
"If he's feeling guilty about it, I think he should send in a check," McConnell said of Buffett.
While Ryan dismissed many of the proposals in Obama's jobs plan, other GOP figures expressed an interest in striking a deal on at least some of them
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus complained Sunday that the White House was offering a "take-it-or-leave-it" proposal on jobs. "This shtick of them wanting compromise ... is a joke," he said on Fox News. But he said the payroll tax breaks could represent an area of bipartisan agreement. 
Graham also suggested Republicans could get behind the payroll tax idea.
Meanwhile, Democrats defended the president's approach to the dual challenges of high debt and high unemployment.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said a new tax rate on those making more than $1 million a year is "certainly" a good idea, for those "who are wealthy and comfortable and wouldn't even notice it." 
"I wonder if (House Speaker) John Boehner knows what it sounds like when he continues to say the position of the Republican Party in America is that you can't impose one more penny in taxes on the wealthiest people," Durbin said on "State of the Union." 
"The president's proposed 'Buffett Rule' is right on target as overall the very wealthy in our country have seen their incomes skyrocket while middle class income has stalled and poverty has risen," Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., ranking Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, said in a statement. 
As for Republicans opposed to the payroll tax break extension, Obama said during his address to Congress Sept. 8 that Republicans should not break their no-tax-hike pledge when middle-class earnings are on the line.
"I know that some of you have sworn oaths to never raise any taxes on anyone for as long as you live. Now is not the time to carve out an exception and raise middle-class taxes," the president said.
Former President Bill Clinton, speaking on ABC's "This Week," said now is the time for an agreement, not a stalemate. 
"According to all this economic analysis, it will create between 1.5, 2 percent increase in GDP growth. It will put a million or two million people to work, and we'll be on the way back," Clinton said Sunday. "We need some signal out of Washington that they understand that cooperation is good economics, even if conflict is

Summary of summer vaction

This summer i traveled to Wichita, Kansas for nationals track; my brother had made it in the 400. He had to compete against people all over the united states. We met lots of new people and we got to interact with different people. The hotel that we stayed at was the Super 8, it was a small city and many tourist had bring money into their state. The weather was kinda like Texas but it was different kind of dry not Texas dry. Soon as we got to the stadium, they had a ceremony to congratulate the kids for making it that far. The started ceremony by bringing each region onto the track. We were region 12, the biggest region. We had really represented because we had so much talent and plus we came home with the most wins overall. Even though my brother didn't win a medal he came in nineteenth place out of sixty-seven boys. He was proud of his self and so were we. I had trained with him the day before he ran.We had went to this school that had a track and we ran four one hundreds. He was a little nervous, but i gave him a prep talk. I told him" you didn't come all this way for nothing, don't worry about what everybody Else does just focus on you. Stay positive and keep god first and you will be blessed. You deserved to be here." He took what i said to heart. and went out there and gave it his best and that's all that matters. He might have came home empty handed but least he didn't come home saying what ifs and doubting his self. He felt good about what he did and he wants to do the same thing but win next year. It was a vacation to me but not for him it was a job. He couldn't go swimming and stay up late and play games in the lobby like we did. He had to rest.
