Skip to comments.Mich. voters: Santorum connects better than Romney (It's not just Michigan)
Posted on 02/20/2012 4:35:01 PM PST by tobyhill
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum promised Monday to revive manufacturing, cut taxes and shrink government, pledges that drew loud applause from conservative Michigan voters who said he was more in line with their values than native son and GOP rival Mitt Romney.
Santorum's growing connection with Michigan conservatives risks embarrassing Romney in his home state. Romney was counting on a strong finish in Michigan's presidential primary on Feb. 28 to carry him into the big, multistate round of voting a week later on Super Tuesday.
But Santorum, fueled by a recent trio of victories and sensing an opportunity to upset or at least bloody Romney with a strong primary finish of his own, is charging hard at a state that he says shares many of the same characteristics as his blue-collar state of Pennsylvania. Santorum pledged Monday that, under his administration of less government and more individual freedom, "manufacturing jobs will come back here to Muskegon."

Pee Wee Herman connects better than Romney. Romney doesn't connect. Never has...never will.
"Mich. voters: Santorum connects better than Romney (It's not just Michigan)"
Perhaps because voters believe that Rick might actually believe what he says, something that's been proven highly unreliable with Slick Mitt.
Santorum isn't giving bizarre speeches about our perfectly tall Michigan trees and beautiful greenish brown grass. LOL
Please freepmail me if you wish to be added or dropped from the mitten ping.
FReepmail Antoninus to be added or removed.
Go CONSERVATIVES!!!
I wish Santorum would ditch this "revive manufacturing" nonsense.
It makes him look like he doesn't understand free markets, free trade, and limited government.
It sounds like Milt is severely a fan of MI. What a toad.
I fixed that. George could connect with people. Mitt isn't his father by a long shot.
I'm looking at a 150' tall Doug Fir that is obviously too tall!
Santorum's oft-repeated proposal to tax "manufacturers" at one rate and other businesses at another does not constitute "less government and more individual freedom".
I disagree. Every election cycle we craft a message that leaves the folks in the rust belt without anything to interest them. It always focuses on nebulous concepts of Free Markets that don't resonate well with this segment. We are basically ceding these voters to the Rats who sell them on Big Gov't hand outs. This Manufacturing message is why he is starting to interest old Reagan Dems and some Union people who care about this. When it boils down to it, he is just lowering the taxes on this sector more than he lowers the rest. Not really a terrible sin. Ideally, I would love to see him zero all taxes on business for a couple years, but this is a good start.
VEry interesting! Could you expand on that?
"I wish Santorum would ditch this 'revive manufacturing' nonsense."
I think that's a key part of Santorum's electoral appeal. Jefferson wrote of the unique American Agrarian Ideal: "Those who labor in the earth are the chosen people of God... etc"
There could also be an "industrial heart" of America that is a bit withered. I don't want to get deep into how much economic sense it makes to incentivize manufacturing specifically, other that to say that it probably wouldn't effect overall economics that much, and that there are natl security reasons for maintaining manufacturing proficiency, but the main thing is that it fits into the election meme that Santorum is on the side of the working man. So this will help your avg Joes, and Joe the Plumbers, rationalize, so to speak, votes for the republican, this time.
So I say all the more power to Santorum on this. And maybe it's real. Maybe he really could revive manufacturing, and help the working man, and industrial (swing) states.
Bingo, Lazlo!
Midwest + South + Texas = Santorum's the nom and next president (with just four ez mountain states thrown in)
Sounds like you understand free markets and limited government as poorly as Santorum does.
The reason our nation is going bankrupt and becoming divided against itself is because too many people are pursuing wealth through rent-seeking rather than through free enterprise.
If we reverse this trend we will reclaim our greatness, if we do not we will collapse.
What you propose is ignorance, cynicism, and corruption.
"Vote for me and I will give you a special benefit not available to others."
"Vote for me and I'll tax the other guy instead of you."
This approach is unworthy of free citizens of a nation under God. That is not conservatism and it just isn't right.
Is it just me or has anyone else observed Romney's "little bitty steps" in his blue jeans.
Is he wearing a diaper ? Suffering a double hernia ?
Lazlo, yes, Santorum's "Made in the USA Plan", combined with his -heritage- (grew up in steel town I think, grandson of coal miner etc), his ability to connect to all sorts of people (as the working man), his support for labor in some cases (huge sin??), -and- his castigation of the "elites" of the O administration, will work together to make Rick shine with many fishtowners. And his position against gay marriage, protection of religion etc, will work into it also. Romney can't match any of this.
That's why I really hope, for at least electoral purposes in this case where it is key that we beat O, strict free marketers will give Rick a pass this once. The tax differential is needed to ... differentiate... in favor of manufacturing, so we can more easily present a case to the working man & swing states. You explained it well, Lazlo.
If you had any brains or integrity you'd change your screen name to CainCommie.
There is no such thing as big-government conservatism.
Depending on which of my properties I go to work on, I either drive by an empty high rise called Martin Towers, the ex headquarters for Bethlehem Steel or I go by Mack Truck headquarters which was sold to a medical outfit and the giant Bulldog out front shipped down south to their new digs. This area used to be based on manufacturing. Even though these companies are gone, the people who worked there are still around and hearing a plan to revitalize a sector of our economy that matters to them is going to work. Most of these people sound like right wingers until you get into politics and you get all sorts of mumbo jumbo on evil fat cat Repubs. I think if we had a candidate that resonated with these people, we can bring them over to our way of thinking and now would be a great time to do it. Universally, these people hate Obummer and would be easy to flip this cycle much like Reagan did.
Romney is a very weird man (if he is indeed a MAN).
He is sneaky...but he ain't tough. Tough guys--even short guys like Jimmy Cagney--stride out!
Romney doesn't stride out!
I have been hanging around since Buckhead killed Rather!
What you post is hand-waving commie bullsnot.
The reason you think subsidies help the working man is because you do not understand economics.
There are numerous Milton Friedman videos on YouTube.
I suggest you watch one or two of them someday and stop arguing for collectivism, comrade.
Americans are finally seeing a candidate that takes social issues seriously. He lives a moral life which is refreshing especially in today's world. I am so excited that this is happening. Sorry to those FREEPERS who find social issues repulsive and don't want their love of abortions, gay marriage and putting God back in the classroom. Thankfully you are in the minority.
What some FReepers don't recognize is that the problem is cronyism itself, not which party is organizing it. If we have two parties that both promote collectivism and industrial policy then we will continue to go broke whichever one is in charge.
What Paul Ryan, Rand Paul, Ron Paul, Marco Rubio, Mike Lee, Jim DeMint and lots and lots of other Americans are coming to realize is that collectivism and the resultant corruption are the problem and free enterprise and limited government is the one and only solution.
Winning cynically will prevent us from governing wisely.
Yes but the press is making him out to be Jim Jones.
Here's a question for our unbiased media: Have any of you asked Romney what Mormons believe? Have you asked how those beliefs might affect his decisions in the WH?
I didn't think so.
You just described yourself. If by "our way of thinking" you mean government picking winners and losers then you have failed to distinguish yourself from Obama.
The quickest, most certain way to destroy America is to offer the electorate a choice between big government with abortion and gay marriage on the one hand, and big government with less abortion and no gay marriage on the other.
Was talking about this with the wife just now.
Even she - a diehard sociallist - sees the sense in bringing manufacturing back home. She did raise one point, though, the definition of manufacturing.
We got talking about McDonalds - cooking burgers is not manufacturing. Making them is. She was curious as to whether the 0% corp tax would be for the entire company, or just the division that actually produces and freezes the food to be cooked.
Not seen anything on this point yet. How robust will the definition of manufacturing be?
It was the beginning of the end for the MSM!
No, it means he really understands it. No country is going to maintain a strong economy without a manufacturing base. Research and development jobs go to where the manufacturing base is.
America needs something to trade other than our debt or equity in our remaining companies.
Why would it surprise everyone that a socialist supports government intervention in the marketplace?
She did raise one point, though, the definition of manufacturing.
The problems with Santorum's collectivist folly are so obvious that even a self-avowed socialist understands them. The real question is why won't all of the fake conservatives on this thread admit that which should be obvious to all?
Santorum's op ed in the Detroit news today laying out some of his his economic plans.
This is hand-waving nonsense.
Define "manufacturing base". How much manufacturing is necessary to constitute a "manufacturing base" and thus enable a "strong economy".
Some people simply can't distinguish between rational economic reasoning and demagogic sloganeering. I wonder if perhaps you are one such person.
He spent the day stoking up the union base for which he is a proponent while promoting himself as a socon - which will not work.
Didn't work in PA either. Where Rick goes in Michigan says more about WHAT he says.
China is one of the most important countries in the world. America and China should grow and prosper together. The only way to do that is if both countries abide by the same set of rules. Unfortunately that has not yet happened.
That's why we need a zero tax rate for manufacturing activity. Manufacturing is vital, and it's disadvantaged in America because of China's policies. We need to give our homegrown industry some help.
There is no logical thread there whatsoever. It reads like the China Daily. "Because we say so this is what we're going to do." What a disgrace!
I dunno, why don't you ask your ChiCom friends that question. How's the weather in Beijing?
The real hand-waving nonsense, is ignoring the 23% unemployment, rate while chanting that a manufacturing base isn't important in a free market economy.
Wasn't it Einstein who said that insanity is repeating the same actions over and over again and expecting a different result.
We've tried free trade with unequal trading partners such as communist china and it didn't work. It strengthened our enemies and weakened and indebted us.
Let's try what the founding fathers did, and use tariffs to fund our government and protect our markets except where free trade really is in both countries benefit and not just the underdeveloped one.
On a thread full of ignorant, dissembling retards you have, with one short post, crowned yourself king.
Granholm is out bashing Romney today because he had a alternative method of GM restructuring - Granholm obviously supports stealing ownership of the shareholders and giving ownership of GM to the unions and railroading a century of bankruptcy law.
I'm undecided as of this moment but it's just PATHETIC that none of these cowards has not tried to bounce their campaigns against Jenny who has fled the state.
Just absolutely inexcusable.
What part of the 2010 elections here do not these campaign advisors get?

About the Author: Ruth Bennett serves as the Public Affairs Advisor for the Office of International Women's Issues. This entry is one in a series of profiles of the 2009 International Women of Courage Award recipients."They can break my body, but they can never break my spirit."
Mutabar Tadjibayeva is one of the most vocal activists in Uzbekistan, a country in which human rights issues remain a serious concern. As Chair of her own NGO, the Fiery Hearts Club, Ms. Tadjibayeva has brought attention to human rights issues in the Ferghana Valley – one of the most sensitive regions of Central Asia – and helped people seek justice. She has monitored trials, published articles on child labor, reported on violations of women's rights, and organized public campaigns. In August 2003, Ms. Tadjibayeva suffered serious head injuries and was hospitalized for more than a week after a demonstration she organized demanding the resignation of a corrupt local prosecutor was forcibly dispersed by police.
In October 2005, Ms. Tadjibayeva was arrested at her home as she was preparing to travel to Ireland for a human rights conference and charged with several counts of criminal activity based on her activism. Despite the threat of a long prison sentence, Ms. Tadjibayeva remained defiant and told the court, "I do not regret my activities and I will continue them regardless of the verdict." In March 2006, she was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment. Ms. Tadjibayeva's health suffered as a result of poor prison conditions, and she was subjected to forced psychiatric treatment and long periods of solitary confinement.
In June 2008, Ms. Tadjibayeva was released from prison on medical grounds, though she remains under a three-year suspended sentence. Despite the suffering she's endured, and at substantial risk to herself, Ms. Tadjibayeva has renewed her activism since her release and is in the process of trying to register the Fiery Hearts group with local authorities. She continues to criticize prison conditions during interviews with independent and international journalists. At the same time, she continues to seek constructive dialogue with authorities on human rights issues.
While Ms. Tadjibayeva has paid a tremendous personal price for her defense of others, she has shown no regrets for her continued activism. Her astonishing courage is a force for transparency, democracy, and good governance in Uzbekistan as well as a larger example of the power of an individual to take a stand and marshal international support for the cause of human rights. As she commented shortly after her release..."they can break my body, but they can never break my spirit."

As an American woman who spent two soul-damaging years in the Ferghana Valley being physically and verbally harassed, called a prostitute, and made to feel like I was not worthy, my heart goes out to Mutabar and all of the other women who dare to speak up and fight despite the inevitable consequences. No women should ever have to live that life, and ever single day as I attempted to educate a culture that seemed to slow to change, I both thanked God that I was an American and would return to a country where I was free while having deep sorrow for the many, many women and girls I was leaving behind in that prison.

Product Spotlight & Giveaway: Jan Marini Bioglycolic Resurfacing Body Scrub
Hi Bellas,
I wanted to spotlight a product that I've been using nearly everyday - Jan Marini's Bioglycolic Body Scrub. As you know, I'm a huge fan of Jan Marini and my entire skincare routine is from her line.
My Regular Body Routine
In terms of my body, I honestly don't do much except bar soap, lotion and occasionally spf. Body scrubs have always seemed like an optional luxury for me, not making too much of a difference to use regularly. I have a few scrubs that usually sit in my shower that are only used on the random occasions that I decide to apply self-tanner.
The Claims
By the urging of my friend Kim at Jan Marini, I decided to try this scrub. She told me it makes your body so smooth that she hardly has to wear body lotion anymore. That claim alone made me curious. I have to use body lotion everday...it's part of my routine. If not, I'm suceptible to the dreaded ashy leg look - not cute.
***Photo Credit to www.JanMarini.com
Where To Apply It?
First off, this scrub is intended for the body, not the face. It contains the same Bioglycolic components as my facial cleanser from Jan Marini, meaning it contains resurfacing agents that not only provide moisturize to the skin, but resurface it and improve the tone and texture as well.
Applying the Product...
This product is safe enough for use on a daily basis. I apply about a quarter amount to my hands at a time and rub it everywhere on my body, adding more as needed. You can also use a washcloth. Even as I'm applying the scrub, I can already feel my skin becoming more smooth. It's different than the typical scrub...the granules remove dead skin, but the ingredients also feel like they're transforming the surface into a super smooth texture. I also apply this product to my feet to take care of dry and rough patches and they are just as smooth!
After the Shower...
Afterwards, I towel off as usual and whoa! My legs look as if I've been to a spa and been scrubbed, packed and wrapped. They are super smooth, soft, and even seem to glisten. I don't ever remember my skin becoming so soft. My boyfriend has definitely noticed as well - hooray! If I wanted to, I could even skip body lotion because my skin feels uber moisturized. However, since it's an ingrained habit, I apply my regular body lotion and it absorbs so much better into my skin.
Who Can Use It?
This is safe for all skin types, but especially for dry skin. If you want soft, smooth, silky skin this is for you. I wish I had discovered this years before. Say goodbye to ashy legs and rough feet...my skin will never be the same. It's like I discovered the fountain of youth! I am truly not exaggerating about how much I love this product. This is a summer Must-Have. Give it a try, you want regret it.

Hi Ren,
I am so glad you're doing reviews for Jan Marini Products!
I became interested in her products ever since you posted your "Skincare Routine Video". First product I decided to try was the "Bioglycolic Facial Cleanser". I love this stuff! I have been using this for months and I am just about finished with my first bottle... I will definitely be ordering more of this. It has really helped clear my face from acne and because of this, I refuse to stop using it, I just hope my skin does not get use to it and stop working for me. :(
I was very interested to read this post... I have really, really, really dry skin and I am excited to hear that this product helped moisturize your skin to a point where you don't really need lotion. I hate wearing lotion(even though we need it) because I don't like the feeling and because it's cold. Lol! I'm weird. I would love to try this out and not have to wear lotion! Lol!

oOoo i want to try this 'cause i haven't found a good body scrub that doesn't waste lots of product (like a salt scrub) but still gets the job done. plus my body is DRYYYY! especially my legs :( i constantly use a heavy moisturizer and it still doesn't look 100% (IMO).

Hey Ren!
I'd like to win this product because ever since I left MAC, and started blogging, I've been opened to a whole realm of different beauty products. I've probably only exfoliated my skin once in my life and I know there are some layers I can definately shed. LOL. Thanks for doing this..you are a makeup all-star!

ooo I wanna try this out!

- Kat said...
Good review!
My legs are the most dried legs ever: it takes only one time without moisturising and they get right back to the roughness.I also have extremely sensitive skin so I alway shave to be careful with the products I use.
However, since this scrub is safe for all skin types and you've seen such great results, I think maybe I should try it out. Also, there is no Jan MArini in Portugal so what a great way to advertise overseas :D

I would loveee to win it because my excema this season was horrible and left scars all over my skin. Then i started to use a new lotion by vasaline which made me break into hives! So this product would do wonders for me..I definitely need something that will keep my body moisturized even without applying massive amounts of lotion.

I am very interested in this product. More so for my boyfriend tho lol. His skin is not the softest and it needs a little work. Everytime I recommend something to him he says its not masculine. Like going to the spa, he refuses to go. So I think this will help him and its in the privacy of his home. Also, he doesn't like to put on lotion lol.... thats drives me nuts...

Ooh, nice review. I'm intrigued now! I would love to try this and see how it would work on me. I have really dry skin, and I forget to apply lotion all the time, so now my skin has become super dry that I need to lather vaseline on to seal in the moisture. I would love to try this!
- July 15, 2009 at 5:07 PM
- cindycs said...
this scrub looks pretty amazing, i've never tried anything from jan marini before, but i have heard great reviews from a number of different people in the beauty community. this would be a great opportunity for me to try out a new scrub as well, i have never been particular about using a body scrub, and i'm scared to use a scrub on my face because sometimes they can be harsh, but i would definitely love to give a new body scrub a try :)

hey ren,

- amynaree said...
I'm like you who never really cared much for body scrubs. I have it sitting in my shower and use it occasionally as well. My routine also consists of just soup and body lotion. After reading what you wrote about what this scrub does, I really want to try it. I have never used any scrub that makes my skin feel moisturized afterwards. I would like to see if this product can be the first. :)
- July 15, 2009 at 6:27 PM

I'd love to try out this product! My skin is crazy dry and scaly right now, and it's beach weather too, so I need some help!

I've heard their body scrubs were the best but have never tried them. A friend tells me that it makes her skin smooth as if she rubbed olive oil into it every day.
It would be great to replace my everyday summer ritual of using body lotion with Jan Marini's Body Scrub! It would save me time, as I would be cleaning my skin and making it smooth at the same time.
Thanks for your fabulous blog RenRen. Your videos are the best, and you always feature the best products.

I'd love this product because I want some soft satiny skin! If it works half as good as you say, I'll rant to everyone I know to pick it up!

I would love to try this scrub! I've never really used a body scrub before. I'm interested to try this product because of your rave reviews. Ill probably buy it if I don't win it.

I have to have these because I want to exfoliate my uber dry legs. I had used other scrubs but to no avail. They're just too light for me. I want to have that smooth legs everybody wants to touch. Tihee. ;D Thanks for a nice review!

I would absolutley love to win the Jan marini body scrub, i promise you i was at target today looking for the St Ives body scrub since my friend swore by it and (my skin is ridiculously dry inspite of all my efforts) and i couldnt find it!!!!!

I'm always interested in hearing about new body scrubs. I was going to try one out from Carol's Daughter but maybe I should try this one first. I'd love to try this because I'm always trying to avoid being the Ash Monster and having crocodile feet. I don't have dry skin, but I like to be moisturized. And a moisturizing body scrub can only help.

Hey Ren!
Just like you, i have a pretty simple body routine... I absolutely hate putting on lotion, but I don't mind stuff that you can lather on in the shower. This scrub sounds perfect for me since I'm too lazy to put lotion after my shower and end up with dry, ashy legs!! :) Pick me, pick me! :)

hey ren-ren! I think this body scrub would be nice to have because my elbows are really dry, and the pigment in that skin area has gotten darker because of the lack of moisture. I live in the bay, and last week i found out that I got accepted to a college in Hawaii. I'm moving next month, and i'll be packing all my dresses, tank tops, short sleeve tops. Which means my elbows will be showing! I want to be able to feel comfortable and confident when I wear these tops in the warm weather on the island. The way you describe this product is so convincing that this product, will work for me as an intense body scrub treatment. Thank-you for doing this contest ren ren your so generous!

Squeezed renters
The Columbus Dispatch - March 12, 2013 05:14 PM
Rising rents are making it more difficult for Ohioans to afford an apartment, a new study concludes.
Ohioans must earn $13.79 an hour to afford a typical two-bedroom apartment, which rents for $717 a month plus utilities, according to an annual survey released by the National Low Income Housing Coalition and the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio.
But, the study finds, the average Ohio renter actually earns $11.61 an hour.
The study assumes that tenants should spend no more than 30 percent of their income on housing.
Last year, the survey found that Ohioans had to earn $13.43 an hour to afford rent of $698 a month.
"The gap between what the minimum-wage renter in Ohio is paid in wages and what they're expected to pay in rent is widening significantly," said COHHIO's Executive Director Bill Faith.
"The homeownership crisis drove rental prices up and out of reach for many of our most vulnerable populations. Those who have always relied on rental housing are getting squeezed out of this post-recession housing market."

Friday, February 14, 2014 - Text by Dev Sukumar | Badmintonphoto
If January offered us a trailer of what is to come then 2014 promises to be a blockbuster season in Men's Singles.
The year has more badminton action than usual for, apart from the regular circuit featuring elite players, a few team and multi-sport events are lined up. The European Championships are scheduled for April, the Thomas Cup for May, the Commonwealth Games for July-August, and the Asian Games for September-October.
Another special event is likely to generate much curiosity. The Australian Open makes its debut as a Superseries in June. Badminton lovers will be keen to see the impact a Superseries event will make on the sporting population of Australia.
The Big Two in Men's Singles – China's Chen Long and Malaysia's Lee Chong Wei (left) – have each won a Superseries title already this year; setting the scene for more dramatic action to unfold. The cast of characters of course extends beyond the two lead players and by year-end we will know whether these two continue to hold their place or ifsome other actor will steal the spotlight.
What makes this year's script all the more engrossing is that the world No. 1, Lee Chong Wei, has announced this will probably be his last. After capturing the Malaysia Open rather easily, he stated matter-of-factly that he would continue until the Asian Games and then assess his state of body and mind. The announcement of his possible retirement was greeted by stunned silence as the impact of what he said sunk into his audience.
The announcement is particularly significant because, if this is indeed Lee's last hurrah, it will be his final opportunity at the title which has long eluded him: the BWF World Championship. He has come close to it on two occasions and faltered. Given the toll he says badminton has taken on his body, it is likely this will also be his last realistic shot at the Asian Games gold medal also.
His most formidable rival for these crowns will be Chen Long (BWF home page) who has dominated him in recent times. Worryingly for Lee, Chen has beaten him in straight games in their last four matches – finals of Superseries tournaments.
But while Chen and Lee are the two biggest contenders at any event, it would be foolish to ignore the prospects of others. Denmark's Jan O Jorgensen's (right) graph has been steadily rising and the year began well for him with a semi-final in Malaysia. His younger compatriot Viktor Axelsen, despite a succession of early-round defeats at the Superseries in 2013, will look to make this his breakthrough year.
The European challenge will therefore come mainly from the Danes, Rajiv Ouseph (England) and Marc Zwiebler (Germany), who have held their own against younger opposition.
Chen's compatriots Du Pengyu and Wang Zhengming, and younger contenders such as Chen Yuekun and Tian Houwei aren't yet in his league, but they have lent depth to China's Men's Singles. Meanwhile, World champion Lin Dan has dropped to 103 in the rankings. His return to the circuit is unclear.
Japan's progress in Men's Singles has followed a dream script. While senior pro Kenichi Tago (below) faltered at the final step in claiming a Superseries win last year, he is one of the few to have beaten both Chen Long and Lee Chong Wei in recent times. Tago's fans will hope he can break his Superseries jinx in 2014.
A few of Tago's younger compatriots too have excited spectators worldwide. Foremost among them is Kento Momota, the 2012 World Junior champion, who has fast risen up the ranks, and is now No.14, earning praise from no less a person that Lee Chong Wei. Japan has other strong Men's Singles players in Takuma Ueda and Kazumasa Sakai.
Of all the traditional badminton powers, the one most worried about its immediate future would be Malaysia. Lee Chong Wei's announcement of a possible retirement has led to much soul-searching in his country, especially as his younger compatriots like Liew Daren and Chong Wei Feng haven't measured up to expectations. The attention is now on players like Zulfadli Zulkiffli and Soo Teck Zhi. Like Malaysia, Indonesia too has had problems in producing top-quality Men's Singles talent. Their best player Tommy Sugiarto (No. 3; below) however has performed exceptionally, and reached two finals in Malaysia in December and January, only to fall to Lee Chong Wei. The soft-spoken Indonesian, ranked No.3, will hope to prevail at the majors over his more fancied rivals.
Korea has some young players in Son Wan Ho and Lee Dong Keun, while India boasts a talented bunch, spearheaded by Kashyap Parupalli and Srikanth Kidambi. At their best, all of these are capable of causing a stir among more illustrious company.
The quiet interlude between the Malaysia Open earlier this year and the German Open GP Gold in late February might well be the lull before the storm!

Microsoft Should Go Private; HP Should Shut Up
In fact, the vitriolic response comes from a small segment of the readership that shoots the messenger, rather than directing their dismay at Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Steve Ballmer for what amounts to a fleecing of shareholders over the last five years.
On the same day as my article, a Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) executive took a shot at Microsoft , noting that the Surface tablet isn't real competition to HP's Windows 8 devices.
This is what happens in a dying space. Partnerships get all disjointed, even ugly. It becomes a battle of every man, woman and child for him/herself, but -- and here's the kicker -- the crew doesn't have what it takes to win as a united core or in divided parts. Nobody can step up.
As such, you have what we have. Losers and failures snarking at one another or, in Microsoft's case, a CEO with zero room to talk repeatedly going after the company -- Apple (AAPL) -- that scarfed down his firm's lunch, but isn't done digesting it.
For as abysmal a job I think he has done, I have to give Steve Ballmer credit for one thing. He must be one thick-skinned son of a gun.
Why does he put up with all of this crap?
Part of me says, retire, buy an island somewhere and enjoy the final third or so of your life. The other part -- the part that works 16-18 hours a day -- understands that guys like Ballmer have a relentless desire to win.
Speaking of that, Jim Cramer emailed me after reading Thursday's Microsoft article.
His food for thought: Why be public? MSFT sells for 5.5 times EBITDA. Take the stinking thing private! Cramer brought that up Thursday morning on CNBC with David Faber.
My initial reaction? Here it is, lifted directly from the email:
Right. But if private, fewer people pay attention to them and they fade from relevancy even faster than they have/are now.
Cramer's response: In a nutshell, no, you're wrong. Why deal with the sideshow? All everybody does anymore is focus on the CEO, the last five years, Steve Sinofsky leaving, mistakes and uncertainty. But there's no focus on cash flow and Microsoft's balance sheet. Take the thing private, sell off some parts and refocus.
In the discussion at CNBC, Faber, who knows private equity better than anyone, made it clear that the deal is simply too big to ever get done. But lets just say for a moment that it could be.
Maybe it's a good thing if analysts no longer pay as close attention to Microsoft and it falls, even if only slightly, out of the media's bullseye. It can quietly ditch most of the consumer market and focus all efforts -- traditional, mobile, Yammer social -- on the enterprise, which, in many ways, is already a focus given the company's and the PC's struggles with consumers.

Last week, I found myself sitting around the table with 16 young Hondurans who face crime and violence every day. These students from the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) described the daily toll that violence takes on their lives, whether through fear of leaving their homes or through the lack of job opportunities in their communities. Most know someone who has been killed. This is not surprising given that Honduras has one of the world's highest homicide rates at 82 per 100,000 according to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. Young people represent six out of every 10 of those deaths.
My discussion with the UNAH students was part of a weeklong trip to Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Honduras. I met with senior government officials, civil society leaders, women entrepreneurs, and youth activists. Each told me of the serious challenges, such as crisis levels of crime and violence, impunity, threats to human rights, and trafficking in persons, that stand in the way of realizing a regional vision for a safe, prosperous future for all. Many of these issues are interconnected and require an integrated approach.
The young people I spoke with are taking just such an approach. They have formed organizations such as the Youth Against Violence Movement and are playing an active role in pressing for an end to violence and endemic corruption in Honduras. These youth activists spoke eloquently about the importance of involving youth, who are directly affected by violence and often recruited by gangs and criminal organizations, in the design of community-based solutions.
Indeed, every citizen has a role to play in building a more secure future in Central America. Central American governments must work directly with civil society and the private sector to address their nations' challenges. Some of the most promising solutions to the crime and violence that plague Central America involve community-based approaches, like Youth Against Violence, and public-private partnerships. I saw community outreach centers in Guatemala and Costa Rica that offer at-risk youth vocational training and recreational activities that build their self-esteem, increase their employability, and reduce the possibility that they will engage in criminal activities. These young people are not just bettering themselves; many of them have in turn become leaders and role models for others in their communities who are struggling to find their way.
Civil society and youth-driven engagement are absolutely essential in combating crime and building more resilient communities. The governments of Central America also must play the leading role. They must continue to strengthen law enforcement and security institutions, combat impunity and corruption, and invest resources to protect the human rights of every individual, especially the most vulnerable members of society: women; youth; lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals; and individuals with disabilities.
The United States is and will remain a steadfast partner with the people and governments of Central America as they work toward a safer, more resilient region, because no one, young or old, should lose out on opportunities to succeed, or should live in fear, due to violence that can -- and must -- be prevented.
As Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs, María Otero oversees U.S. foreign policy on democracy, human rights, population, refugees, trafficking in persons, and Tibetan issues.Related Content: View photographs of Under Secretary Otero's travel to Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Honduras on Flickr.
Zharkov in the U.S.A. writes:
There can be no doubt that the US government desires to remain a partner with Central and South American governments. The question is, for what purpose?
How have the assassinations of so many Latin American leaders, such as President Jorge Eliecer Gaitan, of Colombia, contributed to the current crime problems?
Is the "New World Order" first mentioned by Fidel Castro on October 12th, 1979, in a speech at the 34th U.N. General Assembly, the same one mentioned by Presidents Bush during their administrations, and in the 1991 CFR Annual Report?
How did Maurice Strong's speech in 1992, at the "Earth Summit" in Brazil, that "the only hope for the planet is the collapse of industrial civilization" add to the feeling of hopelessness of youth in Latin America?

With the ongoing budget debate there is much discussion about what to cut and what not to cut, whether taxes should be raised, and if we should avoid even considering cutting certain programs. At the center of the discussion is the state of entitlement programs.
One program everyone in Washington seems to be leery of is Social Security. Whether it is because of ideologically supporting the program or afraid of ruining a political career, Social Security, again, may remain untouched. Political culture has taught elected officials to avoid the topic of reforming Social Security. In the past, those who have attempted to address issues related to it have been demonized. And when re-election time came around, many private interest groups made sure to fund ads to negatively attack anyone's past attempts of reforming Social Security. However, with our current debt crisis and economic problems, now is not the time to ignore Social Security. Leadership is needed to tackle the hard problems.
Social Security has run aground. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported that program will officially run out of money by 2037 if the program is not reformed. Furthermore, the CBO also projects that this year Social Security will collect $45 billion less in payroll taxes than it pays out.
Just as alarming as the lack of leadership is the number of Americans who benefit from it who will be dramatically affected if Social Security does fail. According to the Social Security Administration (SSA) over 54 million Americans will receive $730 billion in benefits in 2011, these numbers also includes those who are disabled our receiving survivor benefits. For the month of February, the SSA paid over $58 billion to its beneficiaries. The numbers get even more daunting when they are coupled with the number of Americans who rely on Social Security as their sole source of income.
The SSA states, "Among elderly Social Security beneficiaries, 22 percent of married couples and about 43 percent of unmarried persons rely on Social Security for 90 percent or more than their income." The Institute of Women's Policy Research also provides alarming numbers. According to their data, in 2009, 29 percent of women and 20 percent of men relied on Social Security for all of their income. It is important to keep in mind that Social Security provides many elderly members with the necessary money to avoid poverty. As a result, instead of letting Social Security continue to run its unsustainable course, it is imperative to fix to program so vulnerable members in our society can continue to be aided by it.

The emcee and all three "warm-up comics were funny and Allison Gill is hilarious. The comedy includes a lot of the f word and anatomical humor, so I wouldn't recommend taking your parents to this or recommend those easily offended. (I was told "I bet you have a big d***," for example.) Very funny, but base.

The Pennsylvania Ballet is marking the 10th anniversary of its trainee program, with continued visits to area schools.
It is part of the Ballet's Outreach effort.
The Trainee program is known as Pennsylvania Ballet II, and it delighted the students at the Charles W. Henry School in West Mt. Airy Wednesday afternoon.
Pennsylvania Ballet II consists of seven pre-professional dancers who visit 15 to 20 schools in the area every year. It was their 9th visit to the CW Henry School.
They showed the Kindergarten through 4th graders some fundamental ballet moves, and the audience was especially thrilled to see their Coach, Chris Kuncio, help a dancer with a promenade.
Then they performed the ballet, "Por Temper Ments". The music is Hendemuth, and is choreographed by George Balanchine.
The ballet's outreach program gives the students a full ballet experience.
"They get to see classical ballet in their own environment, and they also bring kids to the dress rehearsals at the Academy of Music. This year, all the second graders came to the Nutcracker," said Phil Juska, Pennsylvania Ballet Outreach Director.
And it was the second graders who were the star attraction for their classmates, learning in one day a ballet to Rhianna's "We All Want Love".
"It's just wonderful to see the kids grow from year to year, it's amazing, and some of them are very talented," said William DeGregory, PA Ballet II Director.
When asked how they learned it so fast, their answers struck a common theme.
"I paid attention, and I listened," said 2nd grader, Terrell Tilghman.
"I was listening, and I watched the Nutcracker," said 2nd grader, Scarlett Zeleniak.
The Ballet's Outreach and Education programs bring recitals and other programs to 125,000 elementary, middle and high school students throughout the tri-state area.

GALESBURG—Cody Reiber's hard work in the offseason is paying off in his sophomore season with the Carl Sandburg College men's golf team.
A product of ROWVA High School, Reiber has won medalist honors in three of Sandburg's six tournaments this fall, including Saturday's Charger Classic at Lake Bracken Country Club.
"Over the summer I worked (at Lake Bracken) every day, so I played it a lot and really got to know the course," said Reiber, whose 1-under-par 70 on Saturday also helped lead Sandburg to its second team title this season. "Home field advantage definitely helps."
But Reiber's also been successful away from the Chargers' home course. He finished 1 over for 36 holes to take medalist honors and help Sandburg win the Highland "36" Invitational to start the season. Two weeks later he shot 70 and beat teammate Nick Gustafson in a playoff to win the Duane Chanay Invitational.
"I put in way more effort this summer than I have any other year," said Reiber, who boasts an 18-hole average of 75.6 this season. "I was just a lot more focused on improving my game and getting better as a player."
He even shot a course-record 63 in July at Lake Bracken and continued his hot play there over the weekend. Reiber was 4 under at the turn and got as low as 5 under after making a birdie on the 10th.
"I was hitting the ball really well, and when I got on the greens I knew exactly what the line was almost every time," Reiber said. "There was a kid from Monmouth (College) playing with me, and he said he wasn't having a very good round but he was having fun watch me light the course up."
Reiber is on track to graduate in May with his associate in science degree and hopes to continue his golf career at a four-year college, but he still has some unfinished business to take care of before he moves on from Sandburg.
"We have one more tournament (Friday's PrairieView Classic in Byron) and then regionals," Reiber said. "Hopefully I can play well at regionals and get to nationals as an individual, but I really want us to get there as a team."

Hazardous Gas Leaks
Flammable, toxic, corrosive, oxygen, cryogenic
If a gas cylinder or gas piping begins to leak or is suspected of leaking, thereby presenting danger to building occupants, proceed as follows:
- Immediately notify building occupants to evacuate the area along the established route.
- Notify MSU Police at 911 or 2222 to report the details of the chemical emergency.
- Ensure that HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) for the building is shut down. Avoid open flames. This may require a call to Facilities Management at 4291 (after hours 3805).
Be prepared to provide the following information:
- Building name
- Building location
- Floor number
- Room number
- Specific chemical name of the involved gas
- Estimated volume of gas
4. Make every attempt to direct evacuating personnel away from the hazardous area. Account for all building occupants at the designated meeting area. Building occupants should not return until instructed to do so by the building emergency coordinator, department chair or MSU Police personnel.

Whatever happened to Lotus Approach? I loved that personal db. (thoughit's been awhile...)
Of course, researching an answer, I encountered some interesting new information. Interestingly, everyone tries to "read between the lines" and tries to determine what solution is best.
From a colleague from Lotus:
You can still get [Lotus Approach] as part of Smartsuite.
However, I have to assume his real question is ... "what is the quick and easy way for me to build a lightweight database app like Microsoft Access that I can distribute as a standalone executable?"
To which I would say "Lotus has a program called Approach, which is part of Lotus SmartSuite, which some people still use. However, a lot of the focus in IBM now centers around the lightweight Cloudscape database which IBM acquired from Informix, which is now known as the [open source project called Derby]. Many IBM and Lotus products, such as Lotus Expeditor use the JDBC connection to Derby, which allows you to use Windows, Linux, Flash, etc. ... with no vendor lock in".
I am familiar with Cloudscape, and I evaluated it as a potential database for IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center, when I was the lead architect defining the version 1 release. It runs entirely on Java, which is both a plus and minus. Plus in that it runs anywhere Java runs, but a minus in that it is not optimized for high performance or large scalability. Because of this, we decided instead on using the full commercial DB2 database instead for Productivity Center.
Not to be undone, my colleagues over at DB2 offered a different alternative, [DB2 Express-C], which runs on a variety of Windows, Linux-x86, and Linux on POWER platforms. It is "free" as in beer, not free as in speech, which means you can download and use it today at no charge, and even ship products with it included, but you are not allowed to modify and distribute altered versions of it, as you can with "free as in speech" open source code, as in the case of Derby above (see [Apache License 2.0"] for details).
(If you have no idea what I am talking about in my distinction between "free speech" and "free beer", see Simon Phipps' article[Perspective: Free speech, free beer and free software] orthe definition from the [Free Software Foundation].)As I see it, DB2 Express-C has two key advantages. First, if you like the free version, you can purchase a "support contract" for those that need extra hand-holding, or are using this as part of a commercial business venture. Second,for those who do prefer vendor lock-in, it is easyto upgrade Express-C to the full IBM DB2 database product, so if you are developing a product intended for use with DB2, you can develop it first with DB2 Express-C, and migrate up to full DB2 commercial version when you are ready.
This is perhaps more information than you probably expected for such a simple question. Meanwhile, I am stilltrying to figure out MySQL as part of my [OLPC volunteer project].

They're here, they're here, they're finally here! Gucci Spring 2013 handbags, that is. I've been waiting for this collection to drop since it debuted on the runway last fall, and that day has finally come. Lucky for me, the bags are just as bright, fresh and modern as they felt way back in September.
Most of the bags fall under what Gucci has dubbed the Bright Bit collection, which includes ultra-streamlined clutches, shoulder bags and totes in, you guessed it, bright colors. They're all topped off with the brand's signature horse bit accent, which makes the designs a strong blend of both modernism and Gucci-flavored traditionalism. It's a hard line to walk, but these bags accomplish the feat quite well. Spring also includes a colorful update to the Gucci Stirrup line, which is a welcome development. Take a look at our favorites from spring below or shop all the Gucci new arrivals at Neiman Marcus.

Perhaps this year we can do without hearing of mistreating the horses.
-- Posted by weezie84 on Fri, Aug 24, 2007, at 9:33 AM
seems like we need to hear more about the abuse; discovery of, names of abusers, what's going to be done about it... not less
-- Posted by deathtongue on Fri, Aug 24, 2007, at 9:55 AM
true, I was speaking in hopes that no one would mistreat the animals this year.
-- Posted by weezie84 on Fri, Aug 24, 2007, at 10:04 AM
If the abuse is there I WANT to hear about it and I want it stopped. I hope they catch every horse that has been abused and if I had my druthers these trainers would be banned.
I really hate it for the trainers that are on the up & up, because if those abused horses slip through inspection then the clean horse hardly has a chance and last year due to the uproar on the last night those trainers with supposedly sound horses were denied their chance to show. Let's hope that the message from the USDA about not tolerating this abuse has been heard and adhered to.
-- Posted by HorseGentler on Fri, Aug 24, 2007, at 11:52 AM
You know it makes me wonder "Who do you blame for allowing these Supposedly sored horses to get as far as The Walking Horse Championship" it's not like they had never been in any shows before..Were they really sored or was it all about the money?
And I wouldn't be so happy so see them leave if I were you.. Without the Celebration Shelbyville would be a ghost town..many businesses come into Shelbyville BECAUSE of the Horse Show.
-- Posted by Dianatn on Fri, Aug 24, 2007, at 12:32 PM
Have you been out Madison Street lately? It already is a ghost-town! A well known feed store mgr. told me he LOST more business because his regular customers wouldn't even try to get to him because of the traffic during this time, than he made off of the "visitors". Where has Red Foods, I mean Bi-Lo gone?, K-Mart, where is the mall we all want to spend our tax money at we have been gripping about wanting for years? The business that come here are just NOT the businesses that us regular folk want. I'm sorry, I just can't shop at a farm center or lawn mower place. (Except to get my doggie some nice clean cedar shavings). Let me take that back, I can, but the kids throw a fit! I was the same way as a teen though....
-- Posted by mmp84 on Fri, Aug 24, 2007, at 12:54 PM
I feel your pain, I really do...but the Horse Show brings a lot of revue to this town in the way of Hotels and Restaurants that we probably wouldn't have if it were not for these horse shows. And there is no telling how much extra tax money is collected during the Horse Show. If the Show left town who do you think would have to make up the difference in taxes? Property Owners, I am sure..A lot of Shelbyville Residents rent their homes during the show and go on a much needed vacation many of whom would be unable to do so without the extra funds.
I don't really think the Celebration had anything at all to do with the closing of Bi-Lo many of the Bi-Lo's changed hands to Southern Foods and they were so expensive I didn't ever go in there but once or twice (I think that was their biggest problem they were not competitive)And you are right Madison Street is a Ghost town Shelbyville use to be moving towards Tullahoma but now we are moving towards Murfreesboro. The City does need to push for more business to move into some of these empty buildings but that don't have anything to do with the Horse Show either.
-- Posted by Dianatn on Fri, Aug 24, 2007, at 1:33 PM
mmp84: Southern Family Markets (formerly Bi-Lo, formerly Red Foods) closed all of their Middle Tennessee stores at the same time. How is that a reflection on Shelbyville or its growth or development? Similarly, I think our K-Mart closed as part of a corporate downsizing in which a number of stores were closed at the same time. In both cases, it wasn't so much a reflection on Shelbyville's economy as on the particular chains (and perhaps a reflection of how Wal-Mart has taken so much business).
The vacancies on Madison Street are just a result of the county's shifting population center. More businesses want to be located on the north side of town because they have to worry, not only about the people in Shelbyville, but about the people in the northern end of the county. Eventually, I think businesses will take a second look at Madison Street. There are some developers who are trying to renovate and redevelop the old K-Mart / Kroger shopping center, and perhaps that will turn out to be an anchor for more growth and development. The new elementary school now being designed will also increase traffic on Madison Street and may help draw businesses in that direction as well.
-- Posted by Jicarney on Fri, Aug 24, 2007, at 3:02 PM
I've heard there are folks buying property out that way for another boom in that direction in future. My problem is that all those empty buildings and dried up shopping centers are a bad advertisement for new businesses. It shows the town can't support them. The old Kroger-K-Mart center probly needs demolition. Just my thoughts though....
-- Posted by mmp84 on Fri, Aug 24, 2007, at 10:04 PM
That old Kroger/Big Lots building does need to be torn down, and if another shopping center is built there it should be done from scratch.
It is honestly an eye sore. See the hotels and some restaurants do thrive year-round, but peak during the horse show. Has anyone stopped to think though, that perhaps if they built things for the CITIZENS of the county rather than the VISITORS to the county they may be more supported.
Bedford County is growing, the only problem is, there aren't a whole lot of publicly available plans and information to let us know how it is going to be handled.
I do realize the huge economic impact of the horse show, it is undeniable... The only thing I don't understand is why we cater to only that event? The Calsonic Arena can be used for multiple events, as could the Celebration grounds... Why not use those facilities more often for non-agricultural purposes...
I am not knocking the horse show, I do realize it is hugely important to this county, it seems even more so than the ones who live here.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Fri, Aug 24, 2007, at 10:30 PM
There is supposed to be (and this is allegedly official) something going in the former Bi-Lo/Southern Family Markets building...
Madison Street is not a ghost town at all. People live on that side of town, quite a few people actually. 90% of all industry are connected to that road... It is by no means a ghost town. I used to work at a restaurant on Madison Street and their sales had not decreased (while I was there) by a meaningful enough amount to even consider moving to North Main.
Besides congestion on North Main, and no turning lane, it really isn't any better than Madison Street from a business perspective. The land/commerical lots on Madison Street are probably much cheaper as are the leasing/renting rates...
It makes economic sense to build something where it is cheaper to locate, and where there are enough people who are willing to avoid North Main at all cost...
Madison Street is highly poised for bigger and better businesses with easier navigated streets and more room to grow!
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Fri, Aug 24, 2007, at 10:37 PM
Where is the rest of the city going to eat? When Burger King left to move to North Main they left everyone on the south side of town including the four factories whose employees needed a place to get a quick lunch what ever time of day they took one: Morning Noon Night or Midnight. I for one boycotted the new site for several months in protest and still have not been inside although I have to admit to using the drive-thru 5 or 6 times in recent months. Now Taco Bell no longer wants the business from the people on the Madison Street side of town and are planning to move closer to Wal*Mart.
Why can't these places do like Sonic & Subway? They have 2 locations and seem to do well at both. I for one hate to try to get in and out on North Main and would rather pick up something at a place that is less crowded and easier to get in and out of.
-- Posted by EastSideMom on Sat, Aug 25, 2007, at 10:34 PM
I had understood that the existing Taco Bell would remain open, although I could be wrong. I think the new one is going to be much smaller and emphasize the drive through.
-- Posted by Jicarney on Sat, Aug 25, 2007, at 11:53 PM
I second what you are saying EastSideMom!
I also hate to try to fight the light at Colloredo & N. Main to get out to anywhere on N. Main.
I must come into town across the Cannon Blvd. river bridge and I was just thinking the other day, that it would be nice if there was someplace to eat or shop (besides Save-A-Lot) on the Southside. Oh well I guess I should be thankful The Co-op is on my side of town.
Personally I think that when N. Main finishes it's growth spurt and Hwy. 41A South is completed as a 4 lane to Tullahoma, then maybe some growth will come back to that side of town. Then we can have two roads to avoid in Shelbyville. :)-
-- Posted by HorseGentler on Sun, Aug 26, 2007, at 8:42 AM
I was told by the Taco Bell employees, that they would not keep the old building open, due to it being outdated and the maintenance fees...
But none of that is official. I just don't understand why it is necessary to forget the other half of Shelbyville? I live off of 231 therefore I am in between Murfreesboro and Shelbyville. I for one could care less if Wal Mart or the others are 10 minutes from home.
I have heard from NUMEROUS friends and relatives who on the Southeast side of town (towards Tullahoma) that it is much easier and more convenient to go to Tullahoma for their shopping needs. That is ridiculous, when the very places they go to in other counties were once a skip and a hop down the road...
The fact is, North Main real estate and rental fee's are astronomical... The road is not capable of numerous buildings or even many more red lights... Traffic is a nightmare.
I don't mind the business boom on that side of town, but there should be a rebirth or 'sprucing up' of Madison St. and Cannon Blvd.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Sun, Aug 26, 2007, at 4:33 PM
Dang I'm agreeing with darrick too much these days...must be something in the water...maybe it's the heat...no it's all the flys from the horseshow. :)-
-- Posted by HorseGentler on Sun, Aug 26, 2007, at 4:44 PM
Well I just see it differently...
I do really like the expansion of North Main retail but Madison Street and others, shouldn't be treated as if it didn't exist...
After all, if all these retailers locating here is based on the fact that we have a horseshow, why wouldn't they want to build near the horseshow grounds? Or atleast within view of the grounds?
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Sun, Aug 26, 2007, at 4:59 PM
Well, businesses don't usually sit down and say, "Where can I locate my business where it would be good for the community?" They say, "Where can I locate my business where it will be good for my business?" For some businesses, that means locating where the traffic already exists. For other businesses, that means locating where you can get cheap property or rent.
-- Posted by Jicarney on Sun, Aug 26, 2007, at 6:02 PM
I can be in Tullahoma at Walmart or Kroger much faster than I can get to ours. (I do still shop at ours most of the time because I am in that part of town doing other business.)
When the NEW hospital is built, I can get to the one in Tullahoma faster, too, especially with the traffic between KFC and Northside clinic areas. I feel for the people in the southern parts of the county on this point too. I hope if I ever have to get there quick it is not a life or death situation.
I am hoping that something comes back to the southeast side of town because soon there won't be anywhere else to build on North Main; they have already torn down a perfectly good church building and some historical type houses to put up their NEW and Better buildings and charge 3 times what they are paying for them.
As for the Horse Show business, the dumbest thing that ever happened was when Shoney's shut down.
-- Posted by EastSideMom on Sun, Aug 26, 2007, at 10:51 PM
Why'd the Shoney's leave? We thru a fit for one and got it FINALLY. Then it left? Did it not make enuf money? I loved their food bar. Employees were kinda questionable tho.
-- Posted by mmp84 on Mon, Aug 27, 2007, at 8:28 AM
Okay back to the horses, I will give you a nice clean hundred dollar bill if all of those horses are inspected and even ONE of them enters that show ring un-absued! It won't happen and you can take that not as the opinion of an animal rights activist but as the former trainer of horses. A little mustard oil is one thing, it was when they started driving stakes in their feet that it became a problem. I am in NO WAY saying that mustard oil is ok for horses, it is obviously not. NONE of those horses would have EVER made it that far had they not been "sored". It is no horses nature to throw their feet when they step. Step high, that can be trained, some horses are just better than others. Throwing their feet as if to say "holy God this hurts" that is not a horses nature. They throw their feet because their feet hurt. Bottom line. Straight from the horses mouth *so to speak*!
-- Posted by sambntn on Mon, Aug 27, 2007, at 4:05 PM
I have to agree with sambntn, my stepfather has 4 registered Tennessee Walkers as pets. They are gorgeous and everybody thinks he should show them but he refuses due the inhumane nature in which they get the high step. They are not naturally born to walk that way, I have sat for hours watching his horses in the field and they in no way look like that while walking. The inhumanity that goes into this horseshow is unspeakable and they (the owners and the trainers)should be arrested just like that Michael Vick.
I will add a nice clean 100 bill to sambntn's if you can prove me otherwise.
and to say the horses are treated better that most people, or as Rene Capley so nicely stated that she would like to live the life of one of those grand champions, then by all means do so and let me know how the stakes in your foot feels. Would like to see the commentary on that one.
-- Posted by stolen25 on Mon, Aug 27, 2007, at 6:38 PM
HAHA... exactly.. Those horses are treated like crap.
I realize it makes a TON of money for our little county. But so do the people who live here.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Mon, Aug 27, 2007, at 7:02 PM
Horses are beautiful naturally. They don't need our help. Training CAN be done humanely. It doesn't take chains to weigh their feet down for months at a time, it doesn't take mustard oil, and it doesn't take stakes in their feet. It takes time and attention from ONE trainer, a relationship with that trainer. They treat these horses that way because sometimes the "pretty" horses aren't trained exactly right. The not-so-pretty horses may be the perfect show horse other than it's not what the judges want to look at in a beauty contest. Maybe that particular horse has a relationship built up with his or her trainer and just doesn't want to perform that way for anybody, then you sore them? No. If I were soring my dogs feet I would be in jail. You better believe if I drove a stake through my dog's foot I would be on trial, why is it any different?

This use case describes how the Smart Meter's firmware can be upgraded remotely via the AMI Network.
Once an upgrade for the meter metrology firmware is made available, all meters within the AMI network can be upgraded automatically through the AMI network. The Metering Department personal will trigger and supervise this process as executed via the AMI Head-End to the in-scope Smart Meters. Essentially a proprietary functionality offered by the AMI vendor, the meter firmware upgrade process is self-managing and happens over several days. Once a meter has received the upgrade file and applied the new firmware to its Metrology Board, the confirmation of the upgrade process comes back thru the AMI Head-End via the Network and is stored in Meter Data Management (MDM)

Riverpark Square car fire shuts down garage
SPOKANE, Wash. - Spokane Firefighters were sent to the Riverpark Square Mall Saturday afternoon due to a car fire in the multi-level parking garage.
The fire broke out just after 2:45 Saturday afternoon on the 7th floor. Smoke could be seen coming from the upper-level parking spaces.
Those who have their cars parked in the garage are being asked to leave their cars and come back for them when the garage reopens at 7 p.m.Riverpark Square car fire shuts down garage
No major damage was done to the parking structure.
"The main problem was the smoke that was generated because of the pancake nature of this building. We had a lot of smoke still inside, suspended, wasn't able to ventilate naturally on its own so we had to force that with our fans," Bruce Moline with the Spokane Fire Department said.
The cause is still under investigation.

Hi All,
I'm new to tea in general. I do drink iced black tea quite a bit. However, I would like to start drinking green or white tea.
I cannot have alot of caffeine. A little bit is fine, like maybe a little less than a can of coke or something.
I tried some Celestial Seasonings White Tea the other day. I liked it, but it wasn't great. It gave me headache/dizziness feelings afterwards. Same thing after I tried green tea.
Any advice/reccomendations to someone new to the whole "healthy tea" thing?

3 fall through ice
KIPLING – Fishermen and other ice enthusiasts are reminded to approach area waters with extreme caution in light of three people falling through the ice near Kipling on Saturday, said local police.
Two adult males and a male juvenile were assisted off the ice by a citizen with a four-wheeler after the trio went through the ice near the public access site at the mouth of the Days River, according to the Delta County Sheriff's Department. The emergency was reported to 9-1-1 around 7 p.m.
A Michigan State trooper was the first to arrive at the scene where a truck with its lights on was being used to guide the group to the shore, said Sheriff Gary Ballweg this morning. A police report did not indicate why the three were out on the ice.
The two adults who fell through the ice were Scott Aho, 42, and Leo Aho, age unknown.
The juvenile was Kyler Aho, 13. All three are from Alger County, said Ballweg.
Leo and Kyler were treated at the scene by Rampart Emergency Medical Services personnel. Scott sought his own treatment, according to the police report.
Other agencies responding to the emergency included the Delta County Search and Rescue Team and the Ensign Fire Department which are both equipped with ice rescue gear, explained Ballweg. Gladstone Public Safety also responded to the scene with its rescue hovercraft.
Ballweg urges people to use extreme caution when on the ice which has become unstable due to recent warm temperatures. People walking on the ice have fallen through, he added.
