How to add a picture

I attempted to attach a picture to Tom's email on the email list that shows how I add pictures to my articles. Unfortunately, it ended up in a moderation queue. So, I'll add it here instead. Click on the picture below to see it full-size.

I don't have to change whether it's "Filtered HTML" or not to add a picture. To add some HTML features, I need to edit the full HTML directly in order to make it look decent. But, for adding pictures, all I need to do is what I've described in the attached picture.

Let me know if you still have other questions and I'll see what I can do.

United Steel Workers 624 On Strike

About 240 hourly workers are on strike at the Husky Energy Inc. oil refinery in Lima, OH.  USW Local 624 and Husky Energy failed to reach a contract agreement. Workers took to the picket lines May 25, 2012.  The union and Husky could not come to terms in regards to working conditions, safety and use of personal time.  Husky maintains that the company needs to reduce a "higher-than-standard" absenteeism rate. Salaried workers are currently maintaining the 155,000-barrels-a-day output of the refinery. Despite quiet, peaceful picket lines, Husky is paying for police presence during the strike.

 

Imagining the Post-Occupy Social Movement

Shamus Cooke 

If one were to honestly assess Occupy's current strengths and weaknesses as a movement, confusion must be the inevitable result. This is because Occupy is not one movement, but an umbrella term that encompasses several different groups that have varied aims, organizational structures, and gaping theoretical differences.

Occupy may not be dead, but its power as a powerful social movement has surely been splintered into a dozen or so mini-movements. For example, a good, broad definition of a social movement is a large group of people who collectively try to achieve certain agreed on goals.

Is the Occupy Movement Dead?

I wanted to share this blog post with folks in Columbus just in case you all are not following this blog elsewhere. The author points out that even though the Occupy "Movement" is coming to an end, resistance to capitalism and the state is not ending and has the potential to grow. 

Ibiza condo developer FRAUD verdict in Civil Court. Plantifs awarded $200,000 -- AGAINST parent company RMRW, LTD.

Judgement was against the now parent company RMRW, Ltd of the bankrupted developement company Apex Realty, Inc.  NOT the individual plantifs (Rajesh Lahoti, Michael Council, Ray Brown and Wilbur Ischie).  This means that the fraud judgment probably won't be following the individual defendents in future businsess endeavors.

The awarded amount plus expected recoverable amount of deposit moneys from the banckrupcy of the condo development entity, Apex Realty, Inc. , together will meet the total amount of deposits but will not encompass legal fees nor for the damages/duress of the plantiffs over the last four years of this drawn out battle.
