Keep up the great job
1. the line for loading cpu module is removed
2. powernow cleanup and fix a issue if the user does not have wireless interface
the latest powerdown should skip hid. please update and see.
But I use the 3.0 LTS and the autoload is for 3.4
You know any workaround thatnot imply parch or edit the code???
Well, I suppose that this is somekind of signature, no?
"After you do enough distro research, you will choose Arch."
no comments *facepalm*
but ok I like this script, but I ask: in any ponit you going to ad a comfigurable .conf file???
Well, I suppose that this is somekind of signature, no?
I've added the following line to the powerdown:
ethtool -s eth0 wol d
(it was suggested on "Tunables" tab of PowerTop's HTML report)
Now, I need to add something "reversing" to the powerup, but don't know what flags should be there by default for "ethtool -s eth0 wol ..."?
Another issue: when I run powerdown, it says the following:
[powerdown] cannot run mount -o remount,noatime /dev/sda5
I have NTFS volume on /dev/sda5, is that a problem? Also, it's mounted on boot (via /etc/fstab):
# /dev/sda5 ("Drive D:")
UUID=40F616A1F616976E /media/drive_d ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
I guess it's because you need to lauch that from your user. Try
su yourusername -c "qdbus org.ktorrent.ktorrent /core setSuspended true"
If it won't work, read here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm … or_suspend . Read carefully the first script, then you'll know what to do
Well, neither worked for me. I've even tried to go a bit further and to adapt the 3rd script, so, now I have the following:
DBUS=$(ps aux | grep 'dbus-launch' | grep -v root)
if [[ ! -z $DBUS ]];then
USER=$(echo $DBUS | awk '{print $1}')
USERHOME=$(getent passwd $USER | cut -d: -f6)
export XAUTHORITY="$USERHOME/.Xauthority"
for x in /tmp/.X11-unix/*; do
DISPLAYNUM=$(echo $x | sed s#/tmp/.X11-unix/X##)
if [[ -f "$XAUTHORITY" ]]; then
export DISPLAY=":$DISPLAYNUM"
export XAUTHORITY="$USERHOME/.Xauthority"
export DISPLAY=":0"
case "$1" in
su $USER -c "qdbus org.ktorrent.ktorrent /core setSuspended true" &
su $USER -c "qdbus org.ktorrent.ktorrent /core setSuspended false" &
*) exit $NA
, but it fails to work. Here's the output:
$ sudo -s
# bin/suspent_ktorrent.sh off
: Cannot find '.setSuspended' in object /core at org.ktorrent.ktorrent
So, there must be something special to do, when sending DBus messages from system scripts...
I've added the following line to the powerdown:
ethtool -s eth0 wol d
(it was suggested on "Tunables" tab of PowerTop's HTML report)
Now, I need to add something "reversing" to the powerup, but don't know what flags should be there by default for "ethtool -s eth0 wol ..."?
man ethtool
and if you don't know what's the default you're probably not using WOL, ergo no need to reverse the setting, right?

$ sudo -s # bin/suspent_ktorrent.sh off : Cannot find '.setSuspended' in object /core at org.ktorrent.ktorrent
I think it's trying to say that setSuspended is not the right command.
Try to change
su $USER -c "qdbus org.ktorrent.ktorrent /core setSuspended true" &
su $USER -c "qdbus org.ktorrent.ktorrent /core org.ktorrent.core.setSuspended true" &
su $USER -c "qdbus org.ktorrent.ktorrent /core org.ktorrent.core.setSuspended true" &
Does not work: "Cannot find 'org.ktorrent.core.setSuspended' in object /core at org.ktorrent.ktorrent"
I should mention that the command itself, that I'm trying to run (`qdbus org.ktorrent.ktorrent /core setSuspended true`) -- it works just fine if I run it under the user...
There might be a need to pass $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS value to the qdbus. Is there a way I can read environment variable name from a running user session (being root myself)?
I found this, right now: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=23 … 75#p244543 . May be it can be useful someway.

same error here.. I think I'll need to file another ticket on this DBus question anyway. Thank you all!
Finally, got it to work!
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1230507
And it was a script I used to export $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS...damn, sorry man, i forgot about it
Hi, thank you nierro, dura and taylorchu. Interestingly I could reproduce the freeze even today.
the latest powerdown should skip hid. please update and see.
Same freeze happened today on the Core i3 after I reinstalled powerdown, and commented out the usb autosuspend / usbpowersave following nierro's advice
@dura I didn't find the reference about delaying it, sorry.
Results with a bit more details this time
1. installed powerdown 20130213-1 commented out the usb autosuspend 2 lines, and set hdparm -B to 254, then launched it.
For an instant, everything seemed to be fine e.g. I could launch powernow, read its output; then I released the desk (coffee time )
2. Coming back to my desk after less than a minute, the system had froze: Tapping on the keyboard, moving, left/right clickin the mice didn't help, i3-wm clock was frozen :-/
Now, really weird (at least to me):
- pressing the sysrq Keys (that I enabled through sysctl and tested yesterday it worked, /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq shows "1") did nothing.
- same for the PC's reset button that I pressed once... ... then after a good 10 seconds with no further action, it suddently rebooted. booh.
The kernel is slightly different, compiled linux-ck from AUR replacing Grayski's linux-ck-ivybridge.
No logs that I can find. journalctl logs for the time freeze happened are empty
EDIT: added version.

use udev, people!
please do not comment out any line, and try again.
"After you do enough distro research, you will choose Arch."
@taylorchu, have done that. And i kept working on it this time.
System hung up about a minute after I started powerdown. Same than previous, i.e. total freeze, music (mplayer) loop.

I hope I'm not violating any forum rule by this cross-reference, and if so I apologize.
Perhaps you could help me with this issue I'm having with monitor DPMS, after switching to powerdown.
for i in /sys/bus/*/devices/*/power/control; do echo $i $(cat $i); done
can you paste what the status of bus? I think it might be the problem.

Here's the output without powerdown installed (I apologize in case taylorchu's advice wasn't meant for this issue). Every single line shows "control auto":

And with wifi and 200 brightness my battery long is 3h 17m. This is very short.
Can you help me?
I edited my powerdown script with this code:

This help with several minutes.
Now, I have the i915 error.

You can append that to the grub line:
. Remember to comment that line in powerdown script!
Ps: "x" is your preferred value

AT&T Kills 'Rethink Possible' Slogan for New Mobility Tagline
AT&T today launched a new branding campaign that appears aimed at bringing together its many products under one message, with an emphasis on mobility.
Under the tagline "Mobilizing Your World", AT&T is launching a series of four new television spots that will kick off during coverage of the 2014 Masters Tournament on ESPN and CBS.
The new television spots feature the Beach Boys song "Wouldn't It Be Nice," and highlight AT&T's mobile products, uVerse TV service, as well as its connected home and connected device offerings.
In a blog on the company's website, Esther Lee, senior vice president of brand marketing, advertising & sponsorships for AT&T, said the company's old slogan--"Rethink Possible"--will no be replaced at the end of commercials and advertisements with the new "Moblizing Your World" messaging.
Lee said the move is about recognizing the importance of mobile and the convergene of other platforms.
"'Mobility' is THE disruptive technology of our time," she wrote.
The new spots were created by BBDO NYC and include two small business spots ("Food Truck" and "Better Business"), which AT&T says will depict "the range of businesses that can benefit most from AT&T's capabilities and resources."
Check out one of the new spots below:

Cape Ann Winter Birding
Did you know there are more birds on Cape Ann in the winter than there are
in the summer? A great opportunity to see and photograph them is coming up
at the Chamber's Cape Ann Winter Birding Weekend, February 1-3. It will be
headquartered at the Elks' on the backshore, itself a good place to see
birds. There'll be lectures and exhibitions, but there are also Saturday bus
trips with expert guides to all the best vantage points on the Cape to see
birds like the harlequin ducks on the logo. On Sunday morning (weather
permitting) there'll be a boat trip offshore to see pelagic birds such as
eiders and gannets. Serious birders will get a chance to add to their life
lists, novices will get a chance to see what all the fuss is about, with
knowledgeable help. It's great for kids too, very inexpensive, and all
wrapped up before the Super Bowl starts, (as if anyone cares anymore.) More
info is available at the Chamber website

What a BEAUTIFUL Bear! Wow, sounds like a great hunt. Congrats to your grandson on his bear.
First day success on grandsons first bear. We hunted with hounds in the morning and even though the dogs found and ran a bear or two, the bear went into terrian that prevented us from following. Friday afternoon we built a ground blind and used bait. The smoke from the Gila came in just at hunting time and we thought our hunt was ruined. We walked to the blind late in the evening and about twenty minutes later a bear came. The bear dropped from one shot of 168gr Berger from the Browning 7mm fired 150 yards away. Shot placement was perfect.
Today my Colorado bear license arrived to top off a good weekend

Temper tantrums in 5yo?
I've almost had it here. DS is almost 5yo, and for the last week has been throwing TERRIBLE temper tantrums. Imagine a toddler---laying on the floor, screaming, lots of tears, kicking his feet--the whole works.
This usually comes after being told no. As in, no you can't go play at your freind's house right now. No, can't watch TV. No, we can't go to the pool right now.
I'm at my wits' end---my patience is shot.
Some facts to consider---I'm due with baby3 in two weeks. He says he's excited, and it always patting my tummy, giving it kisses and hugs, trying to make up the bassinet, talking about baby, wanting me to read books about babies, etc.
He has been watching more TV than usual lately, mainly due to my tiredness. But we always get out, usually to the pool or playground during the day.
We've had snacks in the house more than usual, but it's usually pretzels, potato chips, but there is stuff with HCFS. We've never been HCFS free, though, so it's not like he's getting something he's not had.
This is not happening usually because he's tired or hungry. It can be when he first wakes up, after breakfast, after snack, etc.
*sigh* anyone else experience this?
Edited to add: He's usually very sweet, cooperative, kind and loving. Very active, very physical, but a really "good" child. This is very unlike him....

Re: Temper tantrums in 5yo?
My first guess is that he senses that the baby will be here soon. From what I've read & heard, it's common for kids to "regress" or become more difficult right before the birth of a new sibling. I haven't dealt with it personally yet, so I don't really have much advice. There's a great essay on tantrums here:

Re: Temper tantrums in 5yo?
Oh my goodness,YES! My ds is 4 1/2 and lately the tantrums are horrible!! And he is into everything. If I tell him no when he wants something, he will try to get it anyhow no matter how high I put it! And high pitched screaming and stomping...arrggghhhh!!! My sweet little boy has turned into a tantrum throwing monster! I don't recall my 2 older dd (22 & 18) pushing the limits so much. And then throw a whining,clingy 2 yr old dd in there and I am about to pull my hair out some days!
I m trying not to give into him and just ride out the tantrums hoping he will learn they get him no where, but it really does get a bit embarressing in the grocery store at checkout time when my son is screaming over being told no when he asks for gum, candy, or whatever is in reach!

Re: Temper tantrums in 5yo?
I think it sounds like he has cabin fever. Boys are more physical. I was told this by a friend of mine with boys and it was the best info I was ever given as there are no boys in my family! Is there someone who can take him to the park and let him run around or maybe a play area? TBH, if you are tired I would try that and get a few good movies you know he'll love and give yourself some down time. I know it can be hard. My DS was stir crazy near the end of my last pregnancy.

Re: Temper tantrums in 5yo?
I used to nanny a family with a very similar situation. It sucks!! So sorry! I remember that dad saying once "I want my sweet baby boy back!" But it turned out to be a phase that passed. They tried not to set him off without letting him know that was what they were doing. If he knew he had that kind of control he would have abused it! But they tried giving other options. As in "Not right now, but after we eat, (or whatever...go shopping...you help with the blah blah) you can watch TV (have the special snack whatever it is)." They also talked to him when he was calm and set ground rules that if he has a fit the answer is automatically no. We can make a deal if you use big boy words, but if you freak out all bets are off. It helped. they also tried to ignore the behavior once it began. Stating what they see and then ignoring it. As in " i see you have made a choice to have a fit so I can not talk to you about this until you calm down." Then ignore it. Much easier said than done i know! Oh an dthen after the fit the talk it out...what you felt, he felt...how you want it to go next time. Give him the words he could have used instead of a fit. Good luck!!

God is in the business of doing what man says can't be done. This is one of those things.
I've been given a chance to bring a midday sports talk show to a radio station in Cincinnati that will have a Christian perspective. The cost of the airtime is fairly steep, especially for all three hours. And people I talk to there are telling me that there's no way it will work.
Well, if God wants it to work, it will. The station is a small AM, but covers all of Greater Cincinnati and beyond during the daytime. No issues at all. The show, again, will be sports talk. But we will most definitely explore the Christian faith of our guests, and how living for Jesus Christ applies in today's secular world. It will also give us a chance to focus on some of the good things going on in the community via the high school sports programs, smaller colleges and, yes, the big boys in town.
It's a unique concept. It's not something the market is accustomed to seeing. It certainly isn't something the corporate radio shills are going to do.
And yes, the odds against it succeeding are long. But again, God will be the determining factor. If He wants this show to succeed, He will make a way.
Just asking for prayers. And if you have an interest in the idea on any platform - sales, production, etc - please let me know via email.
Thanks...and God Bless.

ATLANTA (AP) — A bank will have naming rights for Kennesaw State University's stadium and other sponsorship recognition as part of a $5 million sponsorship deal.
Kennesaw State on Thursday announced the arrangement involving its athletic department.
Fifth Third Bank will be the "Official Bank of Kennesaw State Athletics" and will receive sponsorship recognition at the KSU Convocation Center, Bailey Field and Stillwell Stadium. The bank will also get advertising in game programs, television and radio broadcasts and on KSUOwls.com, the Department of Athletics' official website.
The Georgia Board of Regents this week approved Kennesaw State's financial plan to support a NCAA Division I football program. The board approved the school's plan to increase student fees by $100 per semester beginning this fall to support the football program.

Carl Setterlund Soccer
Published Wednesday September 26, 2012 at 6:00 am
More changes to the Central Mass. soccer landscape are coming.
Members of the MIAA state soccer committee have passed a proposal that will affect most local teams, moving to create a Division 4 next season and effectively making Division 2 for Eastern Mass. teams only.
This news follows recent unrelated changes made by the U.S. Soccer academy system that resulted in many top boys' players in the area being made to choose between their academy team and playing high school sports.
Nipmuc Regional athletic director and longtime boys' soccer coach Bill Leaver, whose Warriors have been perennial Division 2 contenders, serves on the committee that made the decision on realignment.
"Eastern Mass. desperately wanted to go to four divisions," Leaver said, citing the much larger playoff pools in the North and South sectionals.
For reference, the six playoff brackets in Central Mass. last year contained an average of 14 teams each versus roughly 20 teams per bracket in Eastern Mass., resulting in five rounds rather than the four or fewer for the rest of the state to play.
"The prevailing sentiment from the rest of Central Mass. is that this was a good thing," Leaver said. The plan was brought up at a district meeting in recent weeks, but Leaver said he has not yet told his players for fear of distraction.
Division 1 will remain largely unchanged, but most Division 2 and 3 teams will be moving down a division. Effectively, what is now Division 2 will be become Division 3 and the current Division 3 will become Division 4.
There will be several schools deviating from those guidelines, though.
On the boys' side, Groton-Dunstable, Assabet, Bay Path and Valley Tech will move up from Division 2 to Division 1, and Auburn, Groton-Dunstable and Nipmuc will be doing the same on the girls' side.
The Groton-Dunstable boys and Auburn girls are defending state champions.
Teams staying in Division 3 rather than moving to Division 4 include the girls' teams at Bromfield, Littleton, Assabet, Bay Path and Valley Tech, and the boys' teams at Southbridge and Uxbridge. The St. Bernard's boys and Clinton girls will go from Division 2 to 4, and the Gardner boys and girls will move from Division 1 to 3.
A full listing of the proposed alignments through 2016 can be found at miaa.net.
While athletic directors have been informed, many coaches are just finding out the details of the realignment, which was passed by the soccer committee in February and subsequently approved by the tournament management committee.
"Now the only question is if any individual schools challenge their placement," said Leaver, noting that teams have until the end of the school year to do so.
Quabbin Regional coach Rick Lindsten said he plans to file such a challenge.
After moving up to Division 1 because of enrollment in 2005, the Panthers have won just one playoff game in two postseason appearances.
With the local population having shrunk in recent years, Lindsten had expected that Quabbin — with the second-lowest enrollment in Division 1, behind only Hudson —– would move back to Division 2.
"I don't really want to go to Division 3, but now that's what Division 2 was," Lindsten said. "It just seems strange that there wasn't more input from coaches."
Lindsten said that, in fairness, he did receive an email regarding the changes back in the spring, but didn't recognize the sender and, as a result, did not open the attachment.
Leaver said that other options such as changing the sectional boundaries, which would affect regular-season play, were discussed but in the end, the alignment subcommittee decided to use the hockey postseason as a loose model.
Other sports, such as basketball and lacrosse, also will be undergoing alignment changes this year, but both are expanding. Of the other sports, baseball, basketball, hockey, lacrosse and tennis all have Eastern Mass.-only divisions.
Groton-Dunstable Regional senior forward Nate Pomeroy reached a major milestone Sept. 18.
The 6-foot-1 Pomeroy, last season's Hometeam and Lowell Sun Player of the Year, scored five goals against North Middlesex Regional to reach 100 career points.
The 17-year-old star reached the landmark on a free kick from 24 yards.
"The keeper was cheating left," said Pomeroy, who bent his shot around the right side of the Patriots' wall. "It was one of my better goals, I would say. I actually didn't know (about the 100th point) until I came off the field and coach told me."
A four-year varsity player, Pomeroy, who has committed to Brown University, was named a captain this season and said he values G-D's state title over any individual accolades.
"It's just kind of a title that I can have and appreciate," said Pomeroy, who plans to be more "assist-oriented" this year. He already had seven goals and seven assists through Monday's 4-0 win over No. 8 Westboro High.
The second-ranked Algonquin Regional girls have a big week ahead.
A scoreless tie at home versus No. 5 Shepherd Hill Regional has been the only gauge as to where the Tomahawks (4-0-1) stand this season.
That will change this week when Algonquin faces the past two CMass Division 1 champions, hosting seventh-ranked Shrewsbury High, the 2010 titlist, at 7 p.m. Saturday and then the defending champ, No. 1 Nashoba Regional, at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
The Tomahawks held the title before those two, winning back-to-back district crowns in 2008 and '09.

The Program on Culture and Democracy
Scholars agree that democracy depends upon some shared vision of the common good and the practices that sustain it. Such a vision or public philosophy defines a nation's collective identity and common purposes; it lays out the standards by which a people judge good and evil, character and cowardice; it provides the overriding framework through which a people mediate contending interests; it establishes the collective ideals to which a nation socializes its young. In their net effect, democratic "first principles" comprise the moral glue by which collective life in a democracy is ordered and sustained even against the challenges of both internal factional disintegration and external threat. The quandary is that politics alone cannot provide what democratic vitality requires. Where, then, do democratic first principles come from and how are they renewed? What are the moral and institutional dynamics capable of generating and sustaining democratic life against the disintegrating tendencies of the early twenty-first century?
These questions are critically important within the American and Western context, but they play out with as much urgency today around the globe. Globalization can be a force for democratization and prosperity, but it tends to corrode traditional norms wherever it finds them and replace them with norms of market efficiency, individualism, and experimentation. As such, people in many parts of the world resist it, sometimes to the point of great violence. How are we to think about and address the relations between culture, democracy, and globalization? Are there the cultural resources available to have a world that is simultaneously liberal, democratic, respectful of cultural and religious difference, and prosperous? How and on what terms might this be possible?
The Program on Culture and Democracy seeks to understand the complex factors that are currently challenging and transforming the normative foundations of democracy and to grapple with the human consequences of these changes.

Gullit shocked by Di Matteo departure
Ruud Gullit has been shocked at the ruthless way Chelsea ended manager Roberto Di Matteo's short spell in charge of the club.
Di Matteo was sacked by Chelsea on Wednesday morning after a 3-0 Champions League defeat to Juventus left them in danger of becoming the first holders to exit the competition in the group stage.
The Italian manager also oversaw a winless run of four games in the Premier League and two defeats in the last three European ties, but Gullit, who managed Di Matteo during his time as Chelsea manager, remains shocked at the timing of his departure.
"I can't believe that Chelsea just sacked him without knowing who is going to be the next one,'' Gullit told Sky Sports News.
"I will be curious to see what they do in the next couple of days. I can't believe they have just sacked him out of the blue and then they'll be thinking about who is going to be the next one. I don't think so.
"I think they have already in mind who is going to be the next one. It could of course be Mourinho, if it happens, I don't know because it is in the middle of the season.
"I already had a very good feeling that when Robbie won the Champions League that maybe they (the Chelsea board) already had somebody else in the frame to take over," he said.
"I don't think they took any notice of the fact that Robbie could win it. That was the reason I believe that they took so long to sign Robbie because they were looking for other people. In the end they gave it to Robbie.
"I always had the feeling that Mourinho was in the frame all the time - for the simple reason that he signed just after Chelsea won the Champions League. He signed his contract with Real Madrid and for me that is no coincidence."
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand echoed Gullit's disbelief, describing Di Matteo's sacking as "madness" and advocating the need for managerial stability in order to bring sustained success.
Ferdinand, who has only worked under Sir Alex Ferguson during his decade at Old Trafford, wrote on Twitter: "Wow, Chelsea have sacked their manager!!
"I'm a bit late I know but its a madness. The stability at our club is something our manager rarely gets praise for...don't under estimate that. £LambChopped."
Alan Pardew, who recently signed an eight-year contract extension at Newcastle, was also in disbelief at Chelsea's decision to part with their manager.
Pardew described the sacking as "unfair" and insisted Di Matteo did nothing to warrant being put out of a job.
"I'm astonished really. It just goes to show you how precarious we are as managers," Pardew said.
"You can't take anything for granted. The shock there is from the media and the fans should sound out to the owner of that club.
"Is that their ninth manager in a few years? It is just unfair. As far as I'm concerned he's done absolutely nothing wrong. The philosophy was to try to change the look of the team.
"That doesn't happen overnight. He's won two competitions in less than a year. It is unbelievable. He should walk straight into another job."
Meanwhile Juventus legend Dino Zoff is confident Di Matteo will bounce back from his disappointment at Chelsea. "It's a shame, he's a man and a coach who knows what is going on," Zoff told TuttoMercatoWeb. "Getting sacked happens, but he is an exemplary professional and he'll know how to pick himself back up.
"Di Matteo is ready for anything. It may have ended badly at Chelsea, but facing this Juventus side is not easy."

To the editor:
Mr. Riggs, in his Letter to the Editor, "Medicare, Social Security and Our Future" (Dec 1, 2012) trumpeted the dire prophecy of Mr. Cox and Mr. Archer (WSJ), surrounding pension and health care costs, "including Social Security and Medicare." Cox and Archer stated if, " IRS were to tax 100 percent of the adjusted gross incomes of all earners making more than $66,000 year and all of the corporate earnings generated in the year prior to the recession.." that, " the actual debt of the U.S., inclusive of this long-term unfunded liability, is in excess of $86 trillion!"
Mr. Riggs, a voice for the right, restated "the Mitt's" case that the "47 percent who want the government to give them "free stuff," is going to be the "bane" of our economy. Yes, an $86 trillion debt is "scarier" than a Freddie Kruger "slasher" movie.
However, a broader analysis of the components of the fiscal debt is necessary. In your "analysis" you seem to infer that our public "debts" are primarily the result of social programs, like Social Security, Medicare, and pensions for public employees.
Many religions of the world, Christianity included, remind us to correct the "evils" of poverty and injustice. In reality, although they preach action, it has been the U.S. Government that has put its money where its "Preamble (U.S. Constitution)" is!
It has been this secular government that has defined and implemented civil and racial justice, that has build schools for every child, provided an attorney for every defendant, prosecuted clergy for blatant child abuse, and now has the audacity to try to distribute income to senior citizens and health care for everyone, not just the wealthy.
In the discussion of the national debt, it is suspect to exclude the cost of the military (approx. 60 percent of our spending, $2 trillion-plus for two wars), corporate and farm subsidies, tax loopholes, foreign aid, and tax rates of 14 percent for some while others pay more than 20 percent. Corporations (the self defined job creators) express no moral motivation in their community behavior other than profit, often at the expense of their labor force, and preferably more profit than last quarter.
In any analysis of the "national debt," it is tantamount to include all the variables of our complex, fiscal system. National Health Care in the richest country in the world and long term, sustainable pension systems will ultimately strengthen our economy. We must challenge our social thinking that glorifies the greed of the One Percent who controls 40 percent of the national wealth, while so many are buried by the violence of poverty.
In grand irony, I fear your compassionate conservatism will succeed in excluding the "47%" from ever earning, albeit with a helping hand, a place at the financial table of this wealthy nation. If the bleeding-heart liberals fail just think how happy the "foxy friends" will be saying "we told you so"?

Oswego. N.Y. - The 2012 Oswego Speedway season will see the debut of a brand new two car team, featuring two freshly updated Ray Hedger built small block supermodified Chassis.
Jason Simmons, a six year competitor in the division now owns two Hedger Chassis small block supers, and will field both cars on a weekly basis in the 2012 season. Simmons will drive the #98 car, previously owned by Ed Horne, and most recently by Fred Kilian. Simmons purchased the car during 2011, and drove the ride to several top finishes at Oswego Speedway, and his first win at Thunder Alley Speedway. Two last lap passes by champion Mike Bond are all that separated Simmons from two 2011 victories.
During the off-season, Simmons purchased the J.J. Andrews #93 Hedger, and enlisted veteran Andrews to pilot the ride for the full season in 2012. The team is dubbed "Team Tapout", and will make a full assault for a 1-2 championship finish.
"Our most important goals for 2012 are to have fun and win some races", said Simmons. "After Jay let me borrow his car last year I fell in love with the Hedger Cars, and when the opportunity arose to purchase the 93, I couldn't pass it up".
Andrews has competed in the small block supermodified division since 1997, part time since 2008. He rides 5th in all time points, and 3rd in all time Classic points. He also competed in the supermodified division in 1995.
Said Andrews, "It's a great honor to drive for Jason, especially in the car that's been in my shop since 1997. I was pretty sad to see it go, but Jason and the guys are a lot of fun to be around, and I'm looking forward to a full season of fun in the old girl. I've been wanting to come back full time for awhile now to get another win, and I'm very fortunate to get this shot". As it has been for nearly two decades, the car will still be number 93, a salute to Andrews' former car owner Rob Pollitt.
The cars will be maintained and crewed by Mike O'Connor, Brian Dana, Greg O'Connor, David O'Connor, Corey Norton, and Mark Sledziona. Sponsors include Simmons' own D&S Landscaping, Dynamic Sound and Security, Bracy's Auto Repairs, and N.J. Pollitt Demolition.
"I really need that first win at Oswego Speedway", said Simmons, who led many laps in 2011, along with the two close 2nd place finishes. "And I also really want to get Jay another win. Or two."
