Skip to comments.3 Impolite Facts About Ron Paul I Hope Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter Mention Next Time
Posted on 12/16/2011 10:18:39 AM PST by mnehring
1. Pauls intellectual mentor Murray Rothbard was the founder of anarcho-capitalism and opposed the legitimacy of all nation-states, including ours.
2. Paul openly proclaims himself a revival of the Old Right, the movement which opposed our entry in World War II. He and his followers proudly reject the New Right tradition established by William F. Buckley Jr., Ronald Reagan, and Barry Goldwater.
When I was deciding whether or not to run for President as a Republican, I re-read Justin Raimondos Reclaiming the American Right and it gave me hopethat the anti-interventionist, pro-liberty Old Right, which had once dominated the party, could and would rise again. Here is living history: the story of an intellectual and political tradition that my campaign invokved and reawakened. This prescient book, written in 1993, could not be more relevant today.
RON PAUL, Ten Term U.S. Congressman (TX) and 2008 Presidential Candidate
3. Paul is an antisemite.
This is not a complicated point (as some polite conservatives might think it is.) And it has nothing to do with Paul wanting to end foreign aid to Israel and all other nations. (I know plenty of passionate Zionists who think the same thing for different reasons.)
If you believe that the ideas of the Old Right have great value and that we should have followed a non-interventionist path during the rise of Nazism then you are an antisemite. You know good and well that the practical consequence of American inaction would have meant an even higher body count in the Holocaust. But dead Jews are apparently not something that concerns you much.
Just as today Paul doesnt care if Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arms the Islamic Republic of Iran for a nuclear-charged assault against Israel.
Yet when conservatives talk about Paul they just politely note that they disagree with Pauls policy of standing by while the next Holocaust begins.
When will the Conservative Movement finally finish the job Buckley started and stop tolerating the racist, anarchist, useful idiots for Jihad in their midst? Ever?
Update: Ex-Conservative Andrew Sullivan endorsed Ron Paul for the GOP nomination today. Perhaps Ill have a response later
Michelle Bachman pretty much called Ron Paul an imbecile last night.
The Founding Fathers rejected anarchy because they knew that in the long run it would evolve into gang warfare and a form of statism of gang rule.The Founding Fathers were seeking a golden mean of freedom between big government statism and anarchy.
The only good Paul does is to expose the "high level" nut bars that support him. That way we can keep track of them...:)
Along with dead Poles, Russians, Ukrainians, etc. (Of course Stalin was doing a good job with those races as well), and in the end without our intervention, most likely we would have been dealing with either an All-Nazi Europe, or an All-Red Europe, neither of which would have been good.
When Hannity tried to interview him after the debate, all he did was dodge and weave. I tried to listen to his views with an open mind, but they just crashed and burned for me...
Ayn Rand had a great quote skewering Libertarians like Paul's mentors- basically she called them (paraphrased) 'hippies of the right that trade rationalism for political whims and capitalism for anarchy...'
I just wish Mrs. Paul would take her husband to an upscale men's store with good tailors and buy several suits that actually fit.
..not to mention do something about his prosthetic eyebrow.
She is probably to busy with her fish sticks.
"The Founding Fathers rejected anarchy because they knew that in the long run it would evolve into gang warfare and a form of statism of gang rule."
Ridiculous. Anarchy was not even on the table for rejection because local and state governments alredy existed as legitimate respected authority against gang warfare and gang rule.
"The Founding Fathers were seeking a golden mean of freedom between big government statism and anarchy."
Wrong again. The Founding Fathers were seeking a balance between the several states' authority and a Federal Government they feared would evolve into big government statism.
WWII was an inevitable consequence of our totally unjustified intervention in WWI, where no U.S. security interests were involved, but liberal fascist Wilson had to meddle.
Even those obsessed with the survival of Israel need to consider where our intervention in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East has led us. Israel is now painted into a corner. Millions of Christians face genocide or exile. Thanks a lot, rich punk G.W. Bush, for listening to the Clintonist CIA director who led you to invade Iraq. Thanks for lying during the campaign that you were against nation-building (in Haiti, right in our hemisphere), then pursuing unprecedented nation-building thousands of miles away.
The country is broke. Wars and interventions inevitably lead to unforeseen adverse consequences. We need to bring the troops home and defend our homeland from illegal immigrants and stop Muslim immigration.
1. Governor Mitt Romney and Rep. Michele Bachmann are the most conservative candidates in the race.
They were talking about Coulter's comments and wasn't part of the main article's content.
As the article you cited to notes, "Murray Rothbard used the term anarcho-capitalism to distinguish his philosophy from anarchism that opposes private property,[21] as well as to distinguish it from other forms of individualist anarchism."
Rothbard's theoretical analysis of the role of the state in fact supports many fundamental concepts of conservatism. For example, as the article you cited notes:
"Anarcho-capitalists see free-market capitalism as the basis for a free and prosperous society. Murray Rothbard said that the difference between free-market capitalism and "state capitalism" is the difference between "peaceful, voluntary exchange" and a collusive partnership between business and government that uses coercion to subvert the free market.[13] "Capitalism," as anarcho-capitalists employ the term, is not to be confused with state monopoly capitalism, crony capitalism, corporatism, or contemporary mixed economies, wherein market incentives and disincentives may be altered by state action.[14] So they reject the state, based on the belief that states are aggressive entities which steal property (through taxation and expropriation), initiate aggression, are a compulsory monopoly on the use of force, use their coercive powers to benefit some businesses and individuals at the expense of others, create monopolies, restrict trade, and restrict personal freedoms via drug laws, compulsory education, conscription, laws on food and morality, and the like."
In large part isn't that what conservatives believe in? Or don't you really believe in free markets, less taxes, private property, and the fact that people own themselves, and aren't the property of the state?
You don't have to defend RP because you sound like you are him.
You are a complete idiot if you think we shouldn't have entered WWII. Of course that's understandable since you appear to be RP.
Furthermore, WWII was not a result of us entering WWI. WWII was a direct result of the sanctions imposed on Germany at the conclusion of WWI.
Finally, our invasion of Iraq has nothing to do with the fact that the Arabs always have and always will desire the complete and utter destruction of Israel. The islamonazis don't hate us or Israel anymore now than they did 30 years ago.
He'd be a good choice for appointment to some position where he can effectively push his government-cutting ideas (which are good) but has no bearing on national defense.
You really have to think about what you just wrote, had the US not entered the war the Nazis would have had the bomb and millions of Jews and Slavs would have been slaughtered and enslaved.
This type of historical para-analytics is dangerous, really really dangerous.
"Wrong again. The Founding Fathers were seeking a balance between the several states authority and a Federal Government they feared would evolve into big government statism."
Great point; and for a good part of the nation's history - with the exception of the Civil War, that balance we believe was intended to be resolved in the Constitution prevailed.
It began to be undone with the change to popular election of Senators (eliminating the "direct representation" of the states in the Federal government), the personal income tax, the "New Deal" additions to the "regulatory state", all the "progressive" additions to that state since then and the slide into the "living Constitution" by the judiciary.
Those who feared most about the slide into statism seem, at this point, to have been more prescient than their detractors.
At this point in our Republic, no major party acts in true opposition to that slide into statism. We have been reduced to a competition for the financial and power-levers of the state between crony-capitalists and Marxists, and with that competition more and more dominant at the Federal level and the Federal level more and more dominant in the economy and society.
True "free enterprise" "Libertarian capitalism died, possibly, in the period from WWII to the 1970s. Even in the "hi tech" world private enterprises spend only an "infant" period before joining the competition in trying to secure (buy) their place within the embrace of the state, and few are truly seeking to secure more of their Liberty and ours from that state.
My wife who pays near zero attention to politics was wondering why the Republican audience kept cheering Paul's stupid answers - Not knowing about the small but loud Paulbot activist who follow him to these events. I fear there are more people out there in the real world like my wife than are like us political junkies on FR. The false impression Paul gives of the Republicans makes me want to barf.
If that meddling fool, Wilson, had not gotten us involved in the Great War, there would have been no Hitler, no Treaty of Versailles, no betrayal of promises Wilson made to Germany, and the Europeans would have had to learn to settle their differences among themselves.
Ron Paul opposed the landmark 2010 McDonald v Chicago gun rights decision. And he supported the Kelo decision.
In both those cases he agreed with the liberals on the supreme court. Any case where the SCOTUS enforces the Bill of Rights on the states, Paul opposes it. Because Ron Paul doesn't believe in "incorporation of the Bill of
Paul on incorporation and the 1st Amend:
"The phony "incorporation" doctrine, dreamed up by activist judges to pervert the plain meaning of the Constitution, was used once again by a federal court to assume jurisdiction over a case that constitutionally
was none of its business."
Re the McDonald decision and 2nd Amend:
"Congressman Pauls DC office said he didnt sign the brief because he believes that it interferes with states rights, whose policies shouldnt be dictated by the federal government."
On the 5th Amend regarding the Kelo decision:
"If anything, the Supreme Court should have refused to hear the Kelo case on the grounds that the 5th amendment does not apply to states. If constitutional purists hope to maintain credibility, we must reject the phony incorporation doctrine in all cases..."
If the U.S. had not entered the Great War on the side of Allied Powers, and prior to entry leant them enormous matrial support, there would never have been an onerous Treaty of Versailles. No one is more responsible for the rise of Hitler than Woodrow Wilson.
Without Nazism, Zionism would be a romantic, nostalgic, backward looking movement with a tiny number of activist adherents (in my contrafactual world, anyway.)
Yep, I've been holding on to that one but this is one of the biggest damning things on Paul- his belief that the tenth amendment over-rules other fundamental rights protected by the Constitution.
It is one of the reasons I call him a false Constitutionalist.
But then again, our not intervening, may have resulted in the Bolshevization of all of Europe.
All of those things can be debated in 'what if' alternative history, however, we don't have a magic time machine to go back and change things or go forward and figure out all the butterfly effect interstices for our actions, all we have to face what is the reality of what is in front of us.
However, at least you are honest in what you believe. Too many try to hide behind vague political terms like 'non-intervention'. We could at least have an honest and interesting conversation about it.
That was the view of George Washington.
Since 1945 we have not had one declared war and yet have been fighting all over the place with nothing to show for defending US interests.
"Butterfly effect", nothing, I am talking about first order, foreseeable (and foreseen) effects. We just prolonged the European Civil War for another 30 years.
Most people who call themselves, "anti-war", just think we're fighting for the wrong side.
I'll give you the fact that we gave material support to the allies, but our entry into WWI didn't effect the outcome one way or the other. If you are saying we should have stayed neutral and allowed the Germans to take over Europe we'll just have to agree to disagree.
BTW, the French are responsible for the onerous Treaty of Versailles, not Wilson.
Also, didn't you mean to say the JEWS are at fault for all the trouble in the ME?
Thanks for the balance, hellbender.
Excellent post!
Another excellent post!
Thank you, OmegaMan.
This point of contention is at the hub of the "debate".
The French only imposed Versailles using an American made shotgun that Wilson loaded and handed Clemenceau. I am indifferent to who would have won World War I without American participation, the Germans were no worse than the French, and probably more philosemitic in the bargin.
Even with the aid of the Americans, the British and French did not "take over" Germany or Austro-Hungary, they were content to steal their colonies for one more generation and demand tribute, under the guise of "reparations."
To say that American support for the Allies during the Great War did not materially effect the outcome is to ignore facts.
I do not mean to say that the Jews are responsible for trouble in the Middle East. The presence of the Jews gives Middle Eastern dictators like Sadam and Nassar a convenient distraction to divert their subjects wrath at an external target. Islamism is the reaction of those unable to adapt to modernity, and Jews are, out of necessity, the most adaptable and modernizing people in human history. Without Jews, the dictators would find some other diversion, like the Iraq-Iran War which killed a million (and as Kissinger observed, it was a shame they couldn't both lose.)
For every Jew who left Russia for Palestine, 100 emigrated to America, to our gain. After Hitler, the trickle of Zionists turned into a torrent.
W. Audrey was a railroad buff and Anglican priest, who liked to vacation of the Isle of Man, which he knew was part of the Anglican diocese of Man and Sodor. Sodor was previously the Norwegian diocese of "Sodor", meaning southern islands, e.g., the Shetlands, which passed from Norwegian to English eccliastical control around 1100.
Audrey wrote the railway series of books, but Thomas doesn't show up until the fifth or sixth book. And yes, I have grandkids. Is your three year old a girl, because I think Thomas and Friends is a guy thing.
OOOPS! Wrong thread by a lot.
Mass: I think you may have replied to the wrong poster, but since you brought it up, I love Thomas the Tank Engine story. No, I haven't read any of them, but I've watched it on the telly, and my grandchildren have a video. Can't take my eyes off it.
I guess the admin moderator can delete these posts.
As non sequiturs go, that was a masterpiece. Merry Christmas.

Skip to comments.Comedian George Carlin dies in Los Angeles at 71
Posted on 06/22/2008 10:11:46 PM PDT by jmc813
OS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday, a spokesman said. He was 71. ADVERTISEMENT Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, died at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters. Known for his edgy, provocative material, Carlin achieved status as an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of drug references and a routine about seven dirty words you could not say on television. A regulatory battle over a radio broadcast of his "Filthy Words" routine ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
May God rest his soul. I hope he found peace to go along with his gift of laughter.
Damn. Just Damn. And seven other words...
RIP George - you made the world interesting!
He got his start in show business as a part time radio DJ in Shreveport while serving in the Air Force.
RIP to the Hippy Dippy Weatherman.
RIP George!
RIP, George.
RIP, George, you were funny and had interesting takes on things.
Already a thread here...
Wasn't he the first host on SNL?
Also a proclaimed Atheist, and hater of Christians, the Military and Conservatives.
Who knows what he did to ensure the salvation of his soul, which I hope he may have done. However, by watching him on stage and listening to his albums, I have to say that I have my doubts.
For his sake, I hope he truly rests in peace. He was one of the funniest comedians of our time. His Earthly legacy remains in tact.
One of the few that would call stupid humans out.
Remember when he thought he was beginning 'to smell like his grandparents'?
The 7 words you can't say at George Carlin's funeral...
The 7 words you can't say at George Carlin's funeral...
I remember him when he was preppy, before he "freaked out" and "turned-on".
About the time Vietnam got real nasty. He had some good jokes about that which gave us a good laugh at the time. Believe me, we needed it.
Breaking on Fox now.... sad stuff man....
"I think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven't tried that for a while. Maybe this time it'll work."
"Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that."
"Weather forecast for tonight: dark."
"What does it mean to pre-board? Do you get on before you get on?"
"Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things."
RIP, George.
Sad news. RIP. Say hello to Rodney for me.
A legacy no one could be proud of.
He gave us a few laughs and some of those laughs were at ourselves. Where's the harm?
George Carlins Take On Religion
Although I liked the piece about the car gang that would break into cars at quick marts without damaging anything, and the only thing they would do was crank up the volume on the radio, so when the "victim" got back in the car with the milk, and started the car, the volume would blast him out, and he'd be left thinking, "Well, it wasn't this loud when I got out of the car...".
He wanted to offend people, so nasty commments (and, the comment above was not nasty) are the tribute he would want.
Sad as it is, I hope he realized it before he passed. There is still hope for all souls.
If memory serves, he did that bit the first time I ever saw him, on Carson ...
"Our radar is picking up a line of thundershowers, but it's also picking up a squadron of ICBMs, so I wouldn't sweat the thundershowers."
I suppose that would make sense in some perverse way, if it, in fact, made sense.
Thanks for having the balls to post that. George was right...
You can blame me for saying what needed to be said. Something we will all face one day. Joking about ideology is fair game, but Carlin took it a step further, which falls into the category of "harm".
It's all about the "legacy" we will all be remembered for, both good and bad.
There was a lot more material that was simply funny and even made us think a little.
So step down from your high horse and recognize that he passed away and, just maybe, The Boss greeted him saying, "See George? You were wrong. Now come sit by me."
Ah yes. Classy as always.
And you consider these to be words of wisdom?... Some where/when maybe you can ask George to tell you why he thought he was wise enough to spit in God's face. 'Course it won't be an escape clause for you, but you may get an answer ... after the fact. BTW, do you know what is the beginning of wisdom?
A self-professed atheist and avid cocaine user
Re-emerging as a long-haired, bearded, denim-clad hippie, he lost many of his high-paying gigs, but his riffs on sex, drugs, and politics quickly gained an avid following among the fringe culture.
in the early '90s, he courted an even younger audience by assuming the lead role on the PBS children's series Shining Time Station
"Anyone who's intelligent who isn't somewhat angry is probably missing the point somewhere along the way. The way I put it is this: This species is a failure that has organized itself incorrectly, and it's stuck and will never get out of it because the forces that keep it this way are much too powerful to change. So I gave up on this species, and I kind of try to look at it from a distance, but I can't completely give up because I'm a part of it. So there's this tension, and that creates a kind of anger that is easy to theatricalize."
Carlin is proud of his ability to offend - in fact, he considers it central to his success. "I don't care what happens to this planet, this race, the country," he told Jeff Rusnak of the Florida Sun Sentinel.
That his distinctive brand of comedy has weathered more than three decades, as well as his own personal struggles with "heavy drug use," according to Time
In the 1970s, Carlin became known for unpredictable performances. He would walk off if no one laughed, verbally insult the audience, or simply not appear.
In December 2004, Carlin announced that he would be voluntarily entering a drug rehabilitation facility to receive treatment for his dependency on alcohol and painkillers.
Carlin does not vote and often criticizes elections as an illusion of choice.[21] He said he last voted for George McGovern, who ran for President in 1972.
On February 1, 2006, Carlin mentioned to the crowd, during his Life is Worth Losing set at the Tachi Palace Casino in Lemoore, California, that he had been discharged from the hospital only six weeks previously for "heart failure" and "pneumonia", citing the appearance as his "first show back".
- George Carlin (attributed: source unknown)
Now that is classy. [/sarc]
No, I find them to be the words of a fool.
The man mocked religion and God. Guess he knows now who was right.
A "High Horse" is the very last thing I would ride on.
It's all about individual faith and eternal achievement before we pass form this world. What we leave behind is what mirrors our spirit. Nobody but Mr. Carlin has the answer to what or where he is at the moment.
But the writing from the "Boss" himself makes it perfectly clear that nobody will sit beside him who rejected him in the previous life. No matter how many people he made laugh or think.
True reason for mourning his death. Unless he repented, he is in torment tonight.
Wow, you should have been clearer about that. I take back the thoughts I was having about you.

Beachgoers and celebrities talk to Jefferson Graham about using sleep apps to fall asleep and monitor their sleep cycles.
Let your smartphone or tablet soothe you to sleep, track how much rest you're getting or record your overnight snoring.
VENICE BEACH, Calif. — Having trouble sleeping? Is your snoring driving your significant other bonkers? There are apps to help you.
We spoke to beachgoers here on a recent bright day to explore different sleep solutions. Here's a sampling:
— Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock. (Apple; $1.99) Described by developer Maciek Drejak Labs as a "bio-alarm clock," the iPhone gets placed under the pillow at sleep time. "It shows you when you're in a deep sleep and when you're not in a deep sleep ... the cycle of when you're asleep," says user Samantha Parkinson of Chicago. "And then it wakes you up; it makes sure you get your full sleep cycle." Over a million people have "woken up rested" with the app, says the developer. But user Jen Matichuk stopped using it after one night. "I can wake up on my own, and I don't need something telling me when the perfect time to wake up is."
— White Noise ($1.99; Apple, Android). Extra co-anchor Maria Menounos uses the app every night. "I sleep with it." The app has 40 different sounds to play to soothe you to sleep, everything from an air-conditioner, water dripping and cars driving to waves crashing. Menounos' favorite: "Crickets chirping."
— Sleep Machine (Apple, $1.99). Another white-noise app, with more versatility. Has 91 sounds — from rain, thunder and waterfalls to fireplace and guitar strums — that can be mixed with traditional music. "I can push a button and have a thunderstorm," says fan Jon Taffer, host of Spike TV's Bar Rescue. " I can push another button and I'm at the beach. I put the sleep machine on, and I don't hear maids in the hallway." His favorite sleeptime sound of choice: "Thunderstorm at the beach. I have rain falling, I have the distant thunder, and the sound of waves in the background."
— Sleep Talk Recorder (99 cents, Apple; free, Android). "Do you talk in your sleep?" asks the developer, MadinSweden. Now you can find out. Scott Gray, of Scotland, bought it to find out who snores the most, he or his wife, Connie. The snoring was bad, "but mainly Connie, not me," he says. Another bonus: the app also "tells you how deep a sleep you had," he says, and comes with an alarm clock.
Readers, what are your favorite sleep apps? Let's chat about it on Twitter. Use the hashtag #sleepapps and reply to @jeffersongraham and @usatodaytech.

Home Automation Inc (HAI) has updated how its technology manages the home by incorporating independent room management via iOS devices. Using an iPhone, iPod or iPad, entire rooms can be managed from a single page, with areas such as lighting, climate, audio and video being managed remotely.
Profiles such as "Living Room" will be able to manage the home entertainment system, lighting, and climate independently, creating an independent room atmosphere.
HAI's controller has also benefitted from an update now storing the settings of IP devices, such as IP surveillance cameras, resulting in easier installation since the system automatically retrieves its settings.
"The room enhancement is particularly useful for large residences and small commercial spaces, some of which have over 200 lighting loads and dozens of thermostats", explained HAI President, Jay McLellan. "This architectural change, along with the storing of installation settings, is an impressive installation development that for our dealers."
The new updates will be available within this September and are backwards compatible. Also, people using Snap-Link Mobile for iPhone will receive free upgrades.

The Google Book Settlement as Copyright Reform
Pamela Samuelson
University of California, Berkeley - School of Law
April 21, 2011
Wisconsin Law Review, Forthcoming
UC Berkeley Public Law Research Paper No. 1683589
An intriguing way to view the proposed settlement of the copyright litigation over the Google Book Search (GBS) Project is as a mechanism through which to achieve copyright reform that Congress has not yet and may never be willing to do. The settlement would, in effect, give Google a compulsory license to commercialize millions of out-of-print books, including those that are "orphans" (that is, books whose rights holders cannot readily be located), establish a revenue-sharing arrangement as to these books, authorize the creation of an institutional subscription database that would be licensed to libraries and other entities, resolve disputes between authors and publishers over who owns copyrights in electronic versions of their books, provide a safe harbor for Google for any mistakes it might make in good faith as to whether books are in the public domain or in-copyright, and immunize libraries from secondary liability for providing books to Google for GBS, among other things.
This Article explains why certain features of U.S. law, particularly copyright law, may have contributed to Google's willingness to undertake the GBS project in the first place and later to its motivation to settle the Authors Guild lawsuit. It then demonstrates that the proposed settlement would indeed achieve a measure of copyright reform that Congress would find difficult to accomplish. Some of this reform may be in the public interest. It also considers whether the quasi-legislative nature of the GBS settlement is merely an interesting side effect of the agreement or an additional reason in favor or against approval of this settlement.

Basically, they need to be well organized and have certain security features that reassure buyers that they are protected. To have more insight of this, you may want to look at more successful selling sites like Amazon and eBay.

As dividends disbursement is a sort of cash flow to the stockholders, they mark a reflection of a firm's worth. Harley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE:HOG) can pay dividend of $0.35 per share. As per PR, record date is 2016-09-13, the payment date is 2016-09-23, and the ex-dividend date is 2016-09-09. This dividend update was specified on 2016-08-31.
In last year Harley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE:HOG) paid dividend of $0.35 per share as conflicting to the payout of $0.35 a share in the correspondent quarter, signifying a difference of 12.7273 percent.
The experts are envisioning EPS of $0.64. Harley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE:HOG) has a price target of $51.166 in short-range. This value is the mean of the securities price targets sited by 12 analysts. The range varies from $40 to $66. The standard deviation is $7.929 considering the price reviews. Disbursement is usually well-thought-out as health indicator of any enterprise.
Many shareholders hinge on financial earnings for deciding on investment. Equities are refereed as per their proficiency to expand incomes and to outdo or meet experts' mean predictions.
The basic aspect that tells shareholders about fiscal performance is EPS. This factor is acknowledged as the net earnings/proceeds on income statement detracting dividend, divided by unsettled shares. For illustration, if a group has 3Q proceeds of $12 million and count of outstanding stock is 8 million, EPS is $1.50.
The problematic thing is that the research group primarily focus is on proceeds, and not on other basics including revenues and funds flow. Any expert can state that the suitable means to evaluate securities is to predict the unused cash flow in long-term, discount them to the present day and well ahead share by the amount of outstanding stocks.
For the period closed on 2015-12-31, Harley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE:HOG) reported EPS of $1.55. While for the quarter closing on 2016-09-30 EPS can be posted around 2016-10-18.

The NHL point system is flawed and should see the Leafs in the playoffs
A. Bates
April 12 2012 06:40PM
|What should have happened this year (right banner)
Much has been made about the NHL's point system and it's flaws in the past. A third point is awarded once two teams reach overtime, it is mystifying where this point comes from as a "normal" game awards only two points to the winner and none to the loser. This extra point has changed the landscape of first round playoff match-ups many times.
I feel that this year is a little bit different. The Florida Panthers, who won the Southeast division this year, participated in 24 games that went into overtime. Those 24 overtime games led the Eastern Conference, followed closely by the Montreal Canadiens with 21.
What I found troubling wasn't that the Florida Panthers were in so many overtime games (it seems to be becoming increasingly normal for teams to head into overtime): it's that they lost 18 of the 24 overtime games they were in - giving them 18 points I don't feel they should have. Losing all of those overtime games really was the only reason they were able to win the Southeast division, they really weren't a good hockey team.
The Olympics have a system in place that has been talked about a lot around the blogosphere as an option for the NHL and would help fix this problem. They award three points for a regulation win, 2 points for an overtime or shootout win and 1 point for an overtime or shootout loss. This would ensure that no matter how long the game takes to be decided, three points in total are always awarded.
I think that this is a great way for the NHL to go, however I don't like that the loser of the hockey game is still somewhat rewarded. I would like to see the loser get no points, no matter when they lose, with the winner getting two. In theory they could do away with the point system altogether and move to a winning percentage as the NBA and MLB already do.
Follow me over the jump to see where the teams fall with each system.
This is how the NHL standings look right now:
As you can see Florida has three teams directly behind them who have more points then them, this is sad in its own right but, of course, is a completely different issue.
One thing that jumps out at me is that Toronto, a lottery team, has only one less ROW then Florida and only three more wins in total. Every team except Toronto, NYI and Montreal have more ROW then Florida.
Here are the standings if the NHL employed a 2-0 system:
Here you can see that you have to travel a pretty long way to find a team with less points then Florida, all the way down to Winnipeg in fact. This would leave the Panthers in the 10th seed, giving Washington an easy division title. This system would also see Philadelphia and Pittsburgh play different teams in the first round of the playoffs and Buffalo squeak in at 8th.
Here are the standings if the NHL employed the 3-2-1 system:
Things don't change very much here. Florida would drop down to 11th place and Toronto would move up again to 12th.
As you can see, changing the point system to guarantee the same amount of points awarded per game doesn't change the top teams standing very much. However for playoff races and, this year at least, for the Southeast division title it changes a lot.
We could probably sit here and come up with a point system that would have seen the Maple Leafs win the Northeast but obviously that would be changing too much (or would it?). Either one of these systems (3-2-1 or 2-0) makes the point system fair and consistent as well as giving trailing teams a fighting chance to jump into the playoff picture.
In my mind professional sports are about rewarding the winner and humiliating the loser. In that vein, why, for 30 percent of the Florida Panthers season, was the NHL awarding them half of a win for a loss?
April 12 2012, 08:47PM
The thing with changing the points system is that looking backwards usually won't change things. However, if you change the reward system then the approach of teams to game would change because the incentives have increased for winning in regulation.
Right now, teams lock things down earlier in the game because they want the guaranteed point and then will take their chances on OT/SO. But if you were to make regulation wins worth 3 points then it makes more sense to try to score more goals in order to secure the win. The move to 3 points in soccer has rewarded winning and the worst example is the year Liverpool finished 2nd to Manchester United by 4 points in part because while they lost fewer games, United won more. Too many draws cost them the title.
@Pension Plan Puppets
The forward-looking part is why they changed the point system in the first place, they were trying to get rid of teams playing for the tie (because it was more important to them to grab at least one point than to win an extra one more). As PPP says, the joy of a 3 point system is that it incentives winning even MORE strongly.
Purely from a game-engineering point of view you would go even further and actually grant a small number of extra additional points for scoring at least 1 or 2 goals in a game,and more for winning by at least a 2 or 3 goal margin. That way the incentive is primarily to win, but secondarily to make sure that you get goals scored. A 2-1 win becomes worth more to the teams than a 1-0 win, and a 3-0 win becomes the best possible outcome a team could hope for (blowouts past that point having no extra value, so there's not much point in running up the score wildly)... winning is still critical, but there's an extra incentive to take some offensive chances to gain a few critical extra points.
It would improve the hockey perhaps significantly, but the purists among us would have strokes, so I don't see it ever happening. Fun to think about though.
I'd love to see two changes in the NHL standings system: First, go to the 3-2-1 or 2-0 system you guys discussed, but add in a second overtime period before the shootout, or scrap the shootout entirely somehow. It is not that exciting and annoying in the standings. The 4 on 4 OT, on the other hand, produces some of the best hockey. Add in another 5 minute OT, and maybe even make it 3 on 3.
Second, the NHL needs to change its draft lottery system. One idea being thrown around in some circles is to have a sort of 'lottery championship'. The idea is that once a team is eliminated from the playoffs (mathematically), they start getting points for the lottery, the same way 'regular' points are awarded. Then, the draft picks are awarded in order of these standings. So if a team is eliminated but then goes on to win numerous games, they'd get first overall. Fans can now cheer for their teams to win all season long, and all games become meaningful.
April 13 2012, 09:29AM
maybe the league can just change the point system year to year to the benefit of the leafs. or maybe just give them the first pick in the draft every year. maybe burke should get his pick of players off all the other teams' rosters. or maybe, just maybe, people in toronto can stop with the idiotic notion that the league should cater its rules to help the leafs make the playoffs. time to face reality, all teams play by the same set of rules. to even suggest otherwise is ridiculous.
I know I'm probably in the minority, but I actually like this points system because it creates closer playoff races. I think it's in every league's best interest to keep as many teams involved for as long as possible, and the 3-2-1 system would spread the standings out too much. Maybe the MLB purists enjoy the fact that 60% of the season is utterly irrelevant to the Kansas City Royals and their fans, but hockey should be better than that. Also forgotten in most discussions of the "loser point" (I hate that term), is that any point system also has to rank the teams at the bottom of the table (for draft order), and it's only fair and logical that teams that force a tie after 60 minutes should be ranked higher than teams that get blown out in regulation....the only way to do that is to give them a point.

Over the years my answer to the question, what do you want to be when you grow up?, was constantly changing: from being a marine biologist to a forensic pathologist and even a geologist. In my freshman year at Fort Lewis I declared a political science major and with that I thought I had finally found my answer to the question – I wanted a career in politics.
When you think of summer, what are some things that pop into your head? Sunshine? Tanning? Hanging with friends? What about not showering for 10 days at a time? Living outside? Or even the forearm muscles of a champion? If you spend a summer doing trail work, option B will comprise your summer much more accurately. The summer after my freshman year of college, I decided that I wanted to do something different, something that would put me out of my comfort zone. I worked for the Southwest Conservation Corps (SCC) and blazed trails throughout the Southwest area.
What is it like to be a student at Fort Lewis College? In our "Day in the life" series, we'll explore student life at FLC through the eyes of our students. In this episode, we meet Jake, a senior Biology major who aspires to be a veterinarian. On a typical day, Jake hikes up to campus, meets with his research advisor in the Honors Program, goes to his neurobiology class, and works at a local small animal veterinary clinic.
I get asked the same question every time I tell people I am graduating in December: "What are your plans after college?" Until about 2 weeks ago, I literally had not a clue and it scared me half to death. Wait, graduation means I actually have to be in the real world? I have to stop using 'being in college' as an excuse to be broke and to not work all that much. I no longer want to call my parents asking them for money so I can go out of town for the weekend – it's now my responsibility. Growing up has never seemed so hard, even though all I have ever wanted to do was grow up and be able to do what I want.
When I started at Fort Lewis College, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I was always getting asked the same question over and over by everyone I met: what's your major? There are so many different choices when you arrive: majors, minors, clubs, teams, and exciting things to choose from. I had no idea where to start. So, I went with what I was always told I excelled in: writing.

Motorcycle Insurance Less Expensive Than Cars, But There's a Catch
Please enter your comments below.
no real coverage at all
My son was injured and died as a result of a motorcycle wreck. He was hit by a car almost headon and was hospitalized for months before his death. His motorcycle insurance paid nothing and the other driver had 100K in coverage. By time the lawyers got done literally picking over the corpse we recieved just over 50K as a settlement. The hospital bills were over One Million dollars which was covered by my insurance carrier as I had my son declared as a disabled dependant on my policy. None of the bills were paid by the other drivers insurance at all except for the 100K which the lawyers got a large part of.
WRONG info in this story
You absolutely CAN buy motorcycle insurance that covers injury to yourself in case of accident. That assertion in the article is absurd. AND the cost of insurance for a bike varies dramatically, many times MUCH less than the 20-30%-off figure quoted in the article. It depends greatly on age and experience riding. Whoever was interviewed for this story clearly has limited knowledge on this subject.
Let me get this right, a vehicle that can do 165 MPH and the insurnace costs about $200 per year? I'm so sick of these ghetto trash screaming down the I-190 and Clinton Street on one wheel with NO POLICE ANYWHERE TO BE FOUND. You would think a cash starved city and state would start impounding these vehicles and ENFORCING THE LAW! Lazy cops are to blame. It's much easier giving a teenage girl a cell phone ticket than going after the gangsters on the crotch rockets.
I travel the 190, 290 & 990 on a daily basis. The riders of crotch rockets must have a death wish with the way they ride. When you are going the rate of speed that traffic is flowing at and they fly past you like you are standing still you have to wonder about them. All it takes is one false move to cause carnage. I have a feeling we will be seeing plenty of crashes like that this year because they have no fear or brains except what gets splattered on the pavement.

Marchant epitomizes Ducks grit
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- As the Ducks showered and changed after Tuesday night's 5-3 triumph over the Edmonton Oilers, word was that veteran winger Todd Marchant, hidden away in a Rexall Place training room, had "ice everywhere."
Little wonder.
When Marchant ultimately emerged, a cry of "Warrior" from one of his teammates provided a most fitting greeting. No one more epitomized the gritty effort that lifted the Ducks back into a Stanley Cup playoff position in the NHL's Western Conference entering a Thursday night meeting with the Vancouver Canucks at GM Place.
Late in the second period, with the Oilers threatening to cut into a 3-1 Ducks lead during a 4-on-3, power-play opportunity, Marchant got in the way of a blast from the right point by Edmonton defenseman Sheldon Souray, who merely clocked a 102.3 mph slap shot during the NHL All-Star skills competition in January.
The puck struck Marchant above the waist, dazing him and stunning a sellout crowd of 16,839, most of the gathering educated fans who continue to appreciate Marchant for his many similar displays during nine seasons of toil in Oilers silks.
"He's one of those guys who does everything for the team," Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller said. "That's the only way we can play right now. Everyone has to play a hundred percent for the team, and we'll get our points."
Marchant, 35, shook off extraordinary pain to stay on his skates long enough to recover the puck and clear it down the ice. Then he crumpled, remaining prone for a lengthy period during a stoppage in play before receiving assistance to the bench.
"That's courage," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. "That's what separates people at this time of the year. It will provide that little bit of motivation for the rest of our players. If everybody has that kind of commitment, it's amazing what kind of strength your group can develop."
An earlier Souray shot, in the first period, had drilled Marchant on the inside of the right ankle, only adding to a collection of aches and pains that have limited his practice time the past 10 days, but haven't kept him out of any games.
"The thing with Marchant, and I've told him before, if he's not cut up, bruised and black and blue, he's not involved in the game," Carlyle said. "That's what he's been. Look at his face. Look at him limping around. He has various bumps and bruises, but that's what he has to do to be successful."
Still, the second Souray shot provided a clear example of going above and beyond.
"He caught me right up in the ribcage," Marchant said. "Yeah, it hurt pretty bad. I think when you get hit like that, especially when you get hit in the upper body, it kind of startles you more than anything. I couldn't catch my breath. I had a sharp pain up in my ribcage, so then I just kind of gathered myself. I made my way back to the front of the net and, sure enough, the puck came right to me and I was able to get it out."
Even under those difficult circumstances, Marchant maintained focus on the job at hand.
"There would have been no way I was going to get to the bench," he said. "I knew we were short and I knew if we got it down, I knew if I went down they would blow the whistle. It took me all the time I was down just to get my breath back."
Marchant needed only 2½ minutes to get back on the ice. He filled the lane on left wing during a Ducks rush that resulted in a Rob Niedermayer goal that stood up as the game-winner. Later, in the game's final minute, Marchant assisted on another Niedermayer goal, an empty-netter that secured a seventh Ducks victory in eight games.
"You have to sacrifice yourself," Marchant said. "Everybody in this room is doing that. Other guys are doing it. Everybody's doing it, and that's what's making us successful."

Dustin Schneider named top setter at NORCECA Championships
MAYAGUEZ, Puerto Rico – Dustin Schneider of Brandon, Man., was named the top setter at the NORCECA men's volleyball championships which concluded on Saturday night with Cuba defeating the U.S., in five sets in the gold medal match.
Canada won the bronze medal defeating Puerto Rico earlier Saturday in straight sets. Canada's only loss in five matches at the tournament was to Cuba in the semifinal.
It is the second tournament in a row, Schneider has won a major award. He was the MVP at a tournament in Estonia last month in which Canada won the gold medal. He also sparkled in Canada's World League qualifying victories over Slovakia and Puerto Rico.
Young Keibel Gutierrez was elected the NORCECA MVP and was awarded with three individual titles: Best libero, Best receiver and Best digger.

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Tupelo's City Council unanimously approved Joe Babb on Tuesday to fill an open seat on the city school district's Board of Trustees.
Babb was nominated by Tupelo Mayor Jack Reed Jr., who announced his nomination during an afternoon press conference at City Hall. Babb fills the seat vacated when Amy Heyer's term expired on March 2. He will serve a five-year term.
Babb, 31, works as an accountant and is a shareholder in Eaton, Babb & Smith, P.A., in Tupelo. He and his wife Lauren have two daughters, Cate and Ava.
Reed said one of the biggest issues facing the school district is to attract and retain young families. He said Babb will help with that because he is in a similar situation and will be able to relate to those families. One of Babb's daughters is a student at Carver Elementary and the other is nearly school-age.
"He is exactly the age of the other young parents with elementary age children," Reed said in a press release. "He and wife, Lauren, are already strong proponents of the TPSD with a daughter at Carver Elementary."

Yes, you.
You may think it's only for Boy Scouts, only for the most hardcore outdoorsman, only for the fittest of the fit. But you are mistaken.
Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama, in partnership with the Alabama Wildlife Federation, are putting together a backpacking program where interested girls can learn all about the skills, equipment and techniques of hiking the great outdoors. We will have a few meetings to train, learn skills and earn badges. The program will then culminate in an overnight backpacking trip.
Yes, backpacking may be challenging. But think about this:
Courage is when you try even though you are afraid. Confidence is something you gain little by little when you tackle an obstacle that is new and scary. Character is who you become once you have come out the other side, having conquered your fears and accomplished more than you ever thought possible.
Ages: 7th and 8th grade Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors
If you think you may be interested, talk with your troop leader about it. If you think you know nothing about the sport, call me up or look it up on the web or in books.
Please contact me if you are interested, so I can start planning our meetings!

EAC maintains the National Mail Voter Registration Form, which voters can use to register to vote and update their registration information. The form is available in seven languages.
EAC also provides voter guides in 11 languages and a variety of links to helpful resources for voters relating to registration, military and overseas voting, accessibility, and volunteering as a poll worker.
HAVA mandates that EAC accredit voting system test laboratories and certify voting equipment, marking the first time the federal government has offered these services to the states.
EAC is committed to running the program in a transparent manner, releasing voting system test plans and reports for the public to review and posting detailed information about the voluntary voting system guidelines, program policies, and related correspondence.
One of EAC's top priorities is providing assistance to election officials. We do this by issuing guidance, advisories and best practices to help officials comply with the Help America Vote Act and make other election administration improvements and enhancements.
EAC administers federal funding to improve the administration of U.S. elections as authorized by the Help America Vote Act. The commission also manages discretionary, competitive grant programs authorized by HAVA, including the HAVA College Program to recruit college students to serve as poll workers and the HAVA Mock Election Program, which supports activities to educate secondary students in the electoral process.
EAC is responsible under the Help America Vote Act for collecting information about election administration issues and sharing that information with Congress, election officials and the public.
This section contains completed research and reports commissioned by EAC, information about EAC research in progress, and additional elections research issued by other organizations. Datasets are also available to download.
Voters can use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update registration information due to a change of name, make a change of address, or register with a political party.
The National Form also contains voter registration rules and regulations for each state and territory. For more information about registering to vote, contact your state election office. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the national form.

It uses laces to start, then adds more support with the "figure 6" straps. The configuration of these straps best simulates a professional taping technique for high quality support while saving time and money over extended use versus taping.

The teddy bear that Kon is in is descended from a long line of unique teddy bears who are descendants of the hero The Hermit Bear of Reiatsu. Particularly they come from the lineage of the younger son who inherited the Hermit's "body".
It's also interesting to note that the older son (who inherited The Hermit Pooh's "spirit") , on the other hand, was thrown into a katana forge by the only daughter of a notable male and female Japanese samurai couple who died during the Battle of Sekigahara. The remains were then sent by soul burial to soul society, where it gave rise to the first mod souls.
