1. NY TIMES 8/21/13 Front page: Non profits are balking at Law on disclosing political donors. Sure they are. The law was passed in NY to shine a light on All non profit contributions, including Political Donors. Now, a growing number of non profit organizations , spanning the entire ideological spectrum are seeking exemptions. Since money corrupts, it would be appropriate to know what groups are being funded by whom, to prevent conflicts of interest . It’s time to shine a light on all ” dark” pools of money. How do we know the non profits are legitimate entities? Citizens United is winning now, but there is a movement, started by Al Franken and Bernie Sanders to repeal it. Cuomo’s law is a ” good first step”, the Public should know the origins of the increased Political Contributions. Where is our choice?
2. 8/30/13 NY TIMES Come on in Paddler’s the water’s just fine, Don’t mind the sewage! These intrepid New Yorkers like their views of the city and love the water, no matter how polluted. The Newtown Creek , is one of New York’s most polluted estuaries, but it supports a Boating Club, 190 members , paddling on the River. The fact that the water is still toxic, due to industrial oil spills, doesn’t deter them. They paddle , conduct environmental seminars and hope, that one day, this passage between Brooklyn and Queens will be environmentally safe. We have choices.
3. 8/30/13 FINANCIAL TIMES Israel’s hard news and soft power. The Start Up Nation takes a giant step as , i24 , Israel’s first 24 hour news channel is launched ? Ex-diplomat Frank Melloul, is broadcasting the news from Israel 24/7 after starting France 24 for the French. i24’s initial target audience ,” is people who don’t know Israel at all and only talk about Israel through the prism of the Arab-Israeli conflict.” This station is privately funded and will attempt to show an Israel the world has not seen: a diverse society where difficult issues are taken seriously and unpopular views are debated. More choices.
4.8/30/13. FINANCIAL TIMES. Fed Contemplates different repo tool to smooth exit.( From the Bond market). The new ” full allotment ” tool means a wider range of investors could lend as much cash as they wish at a fixed rate, determined in advance by The Fed. In return for lending cash, these investors would temporarily hold high quality collateral . Sounds like the Fed is offering stability to the market place, by controlling the overnight Fed funds rate and backing it up with quality collateral. ( One market participant, said the new tool risked further distorting the independence of markets in favor of greater Fed control. LOL). We have choices.

Awesomе blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writеrs?
I’m hoping to stаrt my own site ѕoon but I’m а littlе lost
on everything. Would you advise starting with a fгee platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are
so many choices оut there that I’m ϲompletely overwhelmed ..
Any tips? Thanks a lot!
Hi
I. Started with WordPress and think it’s an easy platform to use. I may want to upgrade my site. But I think Word press is easy to use and has great features.
Set your self a date to start your Blog and begin.
The first entry is the most difficult. Once you find ” your voice” and your writing style it becomes easier.
Good luck. Please continue to read my Posts and share with friends. All the best
Joyce
Hi there:
Thanks for your comments and support.
I use word press. I have a domain name and I find the site easy to use.
There is a paid option on word press, but it’s optional. I’m on .com, but some say the .org platform is better.
Give either a try. Just start and find your voice.
All the best. Joyce
Incredible! This blog loߋks just like my old օne! It’s
on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the ѕame layout and
design. Excellent choice of colors!
Thanks to a fellow Blogger. I love Blue and the format was totally serendipitous.
Please continue to read my Posts. All the best.

Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to
get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good gains.
If you know of any please share. Appreciate it!
Hi there:
Though I know about Search Engine Optimization, I have no idea what works. I write my Posts and tag them. I choose categories and tags that seem appropriate to the texts.
You may follow me on Twitter and I’ll have a chance to see your Posts and comment as well.
Good luck. All the best. Joyce
