Seventeen workers are already at the mine in Northern B.C. and another 60 are expected to arrive in mid-December. The miner has been granted two-year visas for 201 temporary workers.

CHICAGO—Coal miner Chad Meyers, 30, was killed on the job in the early morning of Nov. 17 at Peabody Energy’s Willow Lake Mine in Equality, Ill. Meyers, the 34th miner killed in the U.S. this year, was crushed between a continuous mining machine he was operating and the coal rib.
Workers at the mine, members of United Mine Workers Local 5929, have been fighting for a contract since they voted for the union in May 2011. The question of safety, and in particular the right to a union safety committee, is among the top concerns driving their union struggle.
Peabody kept fighting to keep the union out of the mine through several court challenges, firings and threats. It took 15 months for the National Labor Relations Board to certify the union’s victory in the 2011 vote. The company announced Nov. 27 it would permanently close the mine.

China is now the biggest international consumer of illegal timber, according to the report from the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA), which adds that the trade is causing the destruction of vast tracts of forest in developing countries. Globally, the trade in illegal timber is worth between $30 billion and $100 billion a year, according to an Interpol and United Nations Environment Program report. Deforestation is a major contributor to climate change, as the trees that soak up carbon dioxide disappear. "Illegal logging now accounts for between 15 and 30 per cent of the global legal trade and significantly hampers the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) initiative," the Interpol-UNEP report said.
In the next few months, we should be seeing a third example of this "hope and change" phenomenon.
Social scientists have reacted in a number of ways to the existence of global crises and potential crises. Their responses, of course, have been consistent with their ideological assumptions, resulting in the unfortunate avoidance of several possibly productive avenues of research and speculation.
As an example, one major emphasis within psychology and other fields has been a growing literature that is in large part an outgrowth of Hardin's 1968 article on "the tragedy of the commons." Hardin, a biologist, described a situation in which "rational" individuals looking out only for their own self-interest will inevitably destroy what they use in common, so long as they each get the full benefit of their individual use of the commons but only have to pay a small percentage of the costs (note the assumptions behind Hardin's definition of rationality, which comes directly from similar treatments in the economics literature--e.g., Olson, 1965). Hardin advocated the public acceptance of stringent controls on the right to have children and to consume resources, in the belief that people will not voluntarily cooperate for the good of all in a large global commons. He later went on to urge the adoption of a "lifeboat ethics" as a means of ensuring human survival in an overpopulated world (Hardin, 1972; Hardin & Baden, 1977).

As H reminded us of the average adverse Geopolitical Cycle is 16.4 years. The current one started in 2000 so prices will at best go sideways until 2016. The Fed is determined to keep the bubble inflated so prices may stay above the regression line and the Dow could be around 10,000 in 2016 but this might only be worth 3,000 in 2009 dollars.
As we are seen they thought that this was the end of socialism, an illusory chapter they had now decided to close. When the revolution raised its head only four years later, it was like the re-appearance of a dreaded ghost from the past. Hatred of the revolution was also fear of it. Projecting their own emotions onto their enemies. January 15th 1919
