For communities to recover, we must first heal
The State of the Union carried a sobering undertone. We are a nation in recovery, and as in many parts of the nation, Rochester is still finding its way. Local unemployment hovers at 8 percent, higher than the 4.5 percent in 2007 when I first moved to Rochester. Poverty is stuck at a rate of 14 percent. Even in neighboring areas considered "thriving," such as Ontario County, the poverty rate remains at 9 percent, many times higher than just a few years ago. Veterans, the young, the elderly and the disabled – no one is spared from hardship.
President Obama's address underscored one of the recovery's common threads shared by all those underserved—the price of loss. These costs are marked by foreclosed homes, emptied retirement funds, a lack of well-paying jobs, fallen troops – and most recently – the lives of innocent children.
If we're to fully recover as a region and a nation, we must first heal from such losses. As in medicine and wellness, healing is a process.
1. We must understand and accept the results of our losses.
2. We must recognize the need for both short- and long-term changes in our lives (individually and/or collectively) as a result these losses.
3. Moving forward, we must take greater responsibility for ourselves with support from others where appropriate and necessary.
4. We must advance with greater awareness of the lasting impacts of previous losses, and develop foresight to avoid potential risks that may result in a repeat loss.
5. Lastly, we must accept that those who are underserved by the impact of loss – the homeless, the jobless, the victims of violence - have been in some part failed by their government and its citizens.
Last night, President Obama said, "They deserve a vote," referring to the victims of violent crimes and tragedies. If you believe in the power of civic engagement, this charge transcends party lines and strikes deeper than just a single political issue.
The time is now for healing. The time is now for action. Let's help each other up, get up off the ground, dust ourselves off, and push harder on behalf of the memories of people and things we've had to leave behind. This isn't easy, but then again, a full-recovery always demands a lot of hard work and even more discipline.

By NED SCARLETCleveland
Citizens who question the loss of loved ones in war are not unique to our time. During General Grant's offensive in 1864 the Union Armies suffered horrible losses. Lincoln's own wife called Grant a butcher. Because of the war Lincoln was cruelly caricatured as an ape or monkey. Many despised Lincoln because they felt he misled them about the objective of the war. Many had joined the fight only to keep the Union together, and wanted no part in a war to free the slaves. Now some feel the war in Iraq began only to protect us from weapons of mass destruction. They want no part in a war to help, or free a foreign people. These same people, who so often talk of peace and love, were then as now, very capable of spewing a vitriol of unbridled hate and anger.
What is different now is our ability to instantly research and find large amounts of information on any subject or individual that has caught the attention of the media. We no longer have to rely on one source of news. News that has gone through a Walter Cronkite type filter to emerge with a personal bias placed on it. In this century, as Paul Harvey says, we can learn the rest of the story.
All together the President has met with 900 family members of 270 killed in the war. Cindy Sheehan has already met with President Bush on June 24, 2004. At that time she said "I know now he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis." She also asked the President to make her "son's sacrifice count for something." Since then Cindy has been quoted saying many hateful statements about her country and President. She recently said in a phone conversation with reporters that she has no animosity for the person that actually killed her son since our invasion and occupation are illegal and immoral.
Casey Sheehan's actions show he felt differently. He was killed in firefight outside of Baghdad. Sheehan and another soldier had volunteered to be part of a quick response team when rioting broke out in Baghdad. His sister Carly says, "He didn't have to go. He would do anything for anybody. He'd give you the shirt of his back. He was just a loving and caring person. It's all he wanted to do was serve God and his country his whole life." A year ago Sheehan's father told reporters that Casey "loved the Army because it gave him a chance to serve his country."
Citizens in this country have a right to speak their opinions. Cindy Sheehan and her new friend Michael Moore are no exceptions. It allows informed people to see them for what they are, and who they represent. I feel that when Jimmy Carter sat next to Moore during the Democratic Convention it did nothing but help George Bush win the election.
It is wrong to take the respect another person has earned even if it's your son's and use that respect to further your own opposing beliefs. In the case of Cindy and her son Casey Sheehan it is particularly sad. As Victor Davis Hanson says in a column written Aug. 19, "she [Cindy] reverses her own original position from the legitimate lament of a grieved mother trying to make sense out of the tragic loss of her brave son, to a deeply disturbed object of cynical partisan manipulation by Michael Moore."

Don't Stop the Party, Miller Center Forum with Matt Kibbe of FreedomWorks Last week, Politico reported that the Tea Party is back in action with a new strategy and a growing membership. While discussions from the April 25th caucus meeting were not made public, Matt Kibbe, president and CEO of FreedomWorks (the most influential tea party organization in the United States), spoke about Tea Party 3.0 and the future direction of the Tea Party at a Miller Center Forum in March. During the forum, Kibbe noted that the Tea Party is going to focus on getting their policy proposals focused on reducing the budget and reforming entitlements introduced by members of Congress. He also noted there are at least ten Senators whom the Tea Party has helped elect to office, including "rock stars" Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. The plan for 2014, according to Kibbe, is to go after a number of Democratic seats that are up for reelection in 2014 and to focus on places like South Carolina. According to Kibbe, "We can do better than Lindsey Graham in the primary." He also argued there is a big opportunity is to solve the Missouri problem and get behind principled fiscal conservatives in Arkansas, North Dakota and Alaska. Kibbe called the Tea Party a "leaderless," decentralized movement, united by a set of values based on limited government. One must view it as a bottom-up movement. Kibbe said the reason why the Tea Party wasn't as successful in the 2012 election was because the top of the presidential ticket was the Achilles Heel of the Party. According to Kibbe, Romney was unelectable and he was anathema to the Tea Party principle of limited government. Kibbe asserts that the Tea Party has changed the way the Republican Party controls politics. He said, "There's no going back to a model controlled by a small group of experts like Karl Rove. People like Rand Paul can go to the internet to get funding and endorsements." Watch the Forum video to learn more about the Tea Party's plans for 2013 and beyond.

He recently co-wrote and performed on Get Lucky, Daft Punk's global hit. Chic featuring Nile Rodgers are appearing at Magic Summer Live in Guildford this weekend.

What does Nile Rodgers have in mind
Nile Rodgers Mod 15 hours ago
This concert is going to be off the chain. I'll have a HUGE SURPRISE to announce in a couple days. I'll be updating the blog every couple days until the show
http://www.nilerodgers.com/blogs/pla...ssion-possibleThis year I've taken on many grueling task that have seemed impossible but so many wishes are already coming true.
For years I've dreamed of bringing a music festival to the New York City area - but wanted it to be accessible to everybody. A charity called AFTEE has given me that opportunity.
I'm throwing the 1st Nile Rodgers Dance Party on Monday, August 19 at the Martha Clara Vineyards in Riverhead, NY (the Hamptons).
I'm proud to announce we've sold-out all the tickets that have been reserved for the locals at the lowest ticket price. That's one wish down and two to go.
For the rest of us who'd like to help this charity and have a fantastic time in the process, simply CLICK POSTER TO BUY TICKETS, which we're handling in-house.
There's going to be me, my band CHIC, and some of the hottest acts and surprises on the planet that day... which happens to be around the time the next Daft Punk single drops (I'm just saying).
Beside all the anchor sponsors, new ones are coming on board everyday to support the Mission. DoSomething.org is showing up and performing service projects like a beach clean-up and a park clean up on their way to the festival, they'll also lend a helping hand on site too.
Though it's a big job, in my camp this project is code named: Mission Possible.
2nd single is either Give Life Back To Music or Lose Yourself To Dance.
Maybe an actual full length music video will come out at some point...

I wonder what they'll be doing...
Is there any official confirmation on this? Cause the only things I see link up to someone who said they were at a taping of the show a week ago and claim that Colbert said they'd be on. (oh and a reach that because Colbert danced on and then off Fallon's stage to "Get Lucky" as being confirmation of DP appearing on Colbert)
With no other context it's a: hard to know if this is legit and b: provides no real indication as to when they actually will be on.
Yeah, that's my only source. Doesn't even say what day, either.
So they possibly will be on next week. No idea in what format.
so basically, yeah... take this with the same incredibly large grain of salt that one must take with any "news" related to Daft Punk...
I mean, I'd love to see what they'd do if that happened (largely because I think Colbert would have a lot of fun with it)... but I won't hold my breath..
Anything's possible!
So it is indeed official. Daft Punk appearing on Colbert show as part of the Colbchella series.

There, there. But it's not as if I didn't put the quote for you already.
Oh, I didn't mean that to sound so accusatory. I just added Colbert as someone to follow.

Well this will be interesting!
IT wont be interesting though. It would only be interesting if they performed. Thats just not going to happen, i would love to eat and shit my words out on that, but its not gonna happen.

I mean, I doubt they would speak to him outside of their costumes, or even inside their costumes.
Maybe a one-off performance of Get Lucky? But that'd be weird.
Maybe just some sort of sketch or pre-taped bit.

Pennsylvania court reverses conviction of Monsignor William Lynn
PHILADELPHIA - A Pennsylvania appeals court has ruled that a Roman Catholic church official was wrongly convicted for his handling of priest sex-abuse complaints.
The unanimous decision released Thursday by the state Superior Court also dismisses the criminal case against Monsignor William Lynn.
Lynn has been serving three to six years in prison after his child-endangerment conviction last year. Prosecutors had argued that Lynn reassigned predators to new parishes in Philadelphia when he was secretary for clergy from 1992 to 2004.
Lynn's conviction stems from the case of one priest, Edward Avery, found to have abused a child after such a transfer.
But Lynn's attorneys contended the state's child-endangerment law at the time applied only to parents and caregivers, not supervisors like Lynn.
Lynn's attorneys said they are going to try to get him released as early as this week from a state prison.
Prosecutors are planning to fight the court's ruling, and resist any move to release him.

If The Secret really worked wouldn't people still be talking about it as much today as they were five years ago?
I still see people talking about it.ReplyCancel
That stupid book that told people if they wanted something and put it out into the universe then it would come true or something. It was on Oprah.ReplyCancel
OMG i bought that book during its frenzy. now im wondering what the heck happened to it…ReplyCancel
A DVD that took Budist principles & completely dumbed it all down & applied it to material objects.
Budism will tell you it doesn't work that way.ReplyCancel
The Secret is one of many law that are needed to manifest the life you want. It's really watered down…once I started to research on my own I found that out…ReplyCancel
Snake oil sold to rubes.ReplyCancel
Count–you pretty much described all things Oprah right thereReplyCancel
There was this crazy guy I used to teach with back in the day. I was really irritated when he used to make his students read and watch The Secret all the time. While I understand the value of positive thinking, there are far better ways to demonstrate that than preaching to a room full of juvenile gangsters that if they want a bike, one will show up if they just wish for it really, really hard!!
Both the sources of and solutions to our problems are of course related to our disposition, no doubt. But to argue that everything lies at the roots of "improper or imperfect thoughts" is a load of horse shit.
How about work hard, keep your side of the street clean, and don't be an asshole?
On a final note, Oprah couldn't even find an authentic crackhead to write his memoirs…boom! Truth hammer!
Sooooo….what are some other huge literary shams that we do/do not miss?! (CDaN, you ARE my Chicken Soup for the Soul…)ReplyCancel
It sounds like it may have worked for Jennifer Garner.
(In a more serious note; It seems like the people who work the hardest have the best luck!)ReplyCancel
The only product endorsement I would listen to from Oprah would be for laxatives, enemas, or other anti-constipation products because I'm sure she gets clogged up plenty.ReplyCancel
I think you have to live a really cushy life to believe problems can be fixed by positive thinking and wishing. Anyone who's gone through a real problem should know that putting out so-called positive energy into the universe doesn't do squat. But I suppose some people are desperate and willing to try anything, no matter how silly it sounds.
I remember about 10 years ago when this book was all the rage I read some review of it where the person was saying things like "Ever since i read this book, I have going from looking like Rosie O'
Donnell to looking like Giselle Bundchen, and also, I found a billion dollars on my door step!" LOL.
u guys are funny ;^)ReplyCancel
One of the greatest things that happened in the last couple of years was Oprah retiring and her massive, mostly BAD influence waning. No one of the comedians that have daytime talk shows could ever take her place. She peddled every type of new age snake oil there was. NONE of these hucksters would have had one percent of their influence without Oprah's powerful backing. She barely escaped a huge backlash from "The Secret" when one of it's "teachers" James Arthur Ray was convicted of negligent homicide over a disaster with a sweat lodge retreat he had. To top it all off, Oprah made herself THE biggest softball, ass kissing "interviewer" in the country. Her "interview" with John Ramsey was utterly pathetic, as were others with her Scientology pals, Cruise and Travolta, who she never asked a hard question about their involvement in that cult. She even got to "interview" Cruise in his Telluride home, where the nut has a bomb shelter built for when Zenu comes back.ReplyCancel

It was (is) a good message. Basically if you put out positive vibes positive things will come back to you. I don't think they meant it literally. Just be kinder, nicer and and you will attract kinder, nicer people into your life. It's still a good message. I may re-listen to it on audio!ReplyCancel
*Xenu 😉ReplyCancel
If it really worked, Oprah's network would have been a success, and she would be a size 2.ReplyCancel
That book changed my life because it changed my perspective on my ability to take control and manifest my own destiny. I also read a lot of the books by the contributing authors and others such as Deepak Chopra. So many unbelievable coincidences began happening and I did attract wonderful people and things into my life. Not necessarily material things (some, yeah) but things and situations that blessed my life.ReplyCancel
Good call on the 'Pretty Wild' TV show.
The useless mother was raising her girls with the philosophy of 'The Secret'.
One ended up in jail for breaking into Paris Hilton's and other celebs houses.
What horseshit.
I agree with Enquirer. 3 years ago I decided I could not keep my high stress- getting home so late I missed dinners and time with my family- job. I did the whole, "Ask, believe, receive" and I think it really did work for me as I am now in a place I love. But let me back up to explain all of that… First of all, it took a year of applying for every job I could. I told everyone that was in my network that I could trust that I was looking. I told family and friends so they could also let me know if they heard of anything and keep me in their prayers. I tried to keep a positive attitude knowing the RIGHT job was out there, when it was available- it WOULD be mine. And I continued to work my ass off- to get a good reference and leave on a good note.
So, if I had just thrown "positive vibes out into the universe", I'd still be miserable, no doubt. It took some work but I can't discount that The Secret worked for me.
Wake up zombies! What about the Holocaust? Who "attracted" THAT? What about wars, famine, poverty, plane crashes, car crashes? Who "attracts" ANY of that? Negative attracts negative, baloney! Bad things happen to good people all the time, that did NOT attract them.ReplyCancel

Family Team Albania Mission 2013
Document Actions
Families, couples, and individuals who have experience with children are invited to help lead a family retreat program in Albania. The focus is to offer a "family witness" while sharing the Orthodox faith and growing in Christ together.
Workshops, activities, and ministry outreach will be offered together with Albanian church leaders and their families. Sports, arts and music will also be part of this exciting mission trip. Participants will experience several ministries of the Orthodox Church of Albania and go on pilgrimages to some of Albania's holiest sites.
This team is a collaboration of the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC) and the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese Center for Family Care. In 2011, a pioneer Family Mission Team was sent to Albania and humbly helped lay the foundation for family ministry of the Church of Albania. The 2013 Family Mission Team will work together with OCMC missionaries and Church leaders to continue building and strengthening this ministry.
All participants are called to be exemplary role models as they minister to other families, share their life experience, and offer a visible witness of the Orthodox faith. Strong family values, teaching experience, and training and/or experience in helping couples and families are needed. Families with children are encouraged to participate.
Dates: July 19 – August 1, 2013
For more information: call OCMC at 1-800-GO-FORTH or visit www.ocmc.org.
Click here to view the the power point from the 2011 Family Team to Albania.
The Orthodox Christian Mission Center recruits, trains, sends, and supports Orthodox missionaries to preach, teach, baptize, construct, and minister to the spiritual and physical needs of those being served and saved.
The Center for Family Care of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America works to bring more aspects of our faith into the home and to bring more families into the Church.

What History Can Tell Us U.S. President Barack Obama is greeted by Speaker of the House John Boehner before delivering the 2011 State of the Union Address. Official photo by Pete Souza. PD. On Monday, the Republican Steering Committee, at the behest of Speaker John Boehner, removed four Republicans from prime committee assignments in advance of the convening of the 113thCongress: Justin Amash (MI) and Tim Huelskamp (KS) from the Budget Committee and Walter B. Jones (NC) and David Schweikert (AZ) from the Financial Services Committee. Reports suggest that these members were ousted because of insufficient support for leadership positions (i.e., low leadership support scores) on a set of key votes in the 112th Congress. See here, here, and here. In addition, three of these individuals (Amash, Huelskamp, and Schweikert) are considered among the more conservative members of the Republican Conference, suggesting that Boehner is trying to rein in the rebellious Tea Party tendencies that were so apparent in the 112th Congress. This committee "purge" has elicited considerable outrage in conservative circles inside and outside of Washington. The most radical suggestion, offered by Ned Ryun on the conservative blog Red State, is that a small group of Republicans signal their unhappiness with Boehner by voting against him in the speakership vote on the House floor. Ryun argues that if 16 Republicans abstain from voting for Boehner for Speaker, based on the assumption that there will be 233 Republicans in attendance when the 113th House convenes in January, then he will fail to receive a majority – and, in time (assuming repeated, inconclusive speakership balloting), the Republican Conference will be forced to choose a new speakership nominee, one more amenable to the preferences of the dissident faction (and, presumably, conservatives more generally). (One aside: Ryun argues that dissident members should simply abstain from voting. But the rule for electing Speakers has been interpreted differently over time. At times the requirement has been a majority of all members-elect, and at other times it has been a majority of all members present and voting "for a person by name." The most recent interpretation has been the latter. For example, in the 105thCongress, Newt Gingrich was elected Speaker with 216 votes, which constituted a majority of all members present and voting for a person by name, but not a majority of all members-elect. So Ryun's strategy, to be safe, should direct dissidents to cast their protest votes for one of their own, rather than abstain.) Is there any precedent for this sort of dissident behavior? As Charles Stewart and I show in our book Fighting for the Speakership, multi-ballot speakership fights on the House floor were fairly common in the antebellum era. And some of these fights were quite protracted and required many ballots – for example, 3 weeks and 63 ballots in 1849, 2 months and 133 ballots in 1855-56, and 2 months and 44 ballots in 1859-60. The cross-cutting issue of slavery drove most of these floor battles, as constituent preferences on slavery (and slavery extension) trumped the bond of party. With the onset of the Civil War, and the elimination of slavery as a wedge issue, however, protracted speakership balloting virtually disappeared. Between 1861 and today, only one speakership election has extended beyond a single ballot. That election, in 1923 at the beginning of the 68th Congress, provides interesting parallels to today. In the early-1920s, the Republican Party was rent with ideological conflicts, as progressive members from the Midwest often locked horns with the conservative Old Guard. Progressive Republicans sought a liberalization of House rules, so that progressive legislation that was languishing in committees dominated by Republican "regulars" could be brought to the floor. The Republican leadership, comprised of regulars, refused. In response, in 1923, progressive Republicans refused to support the Republican Conference nominee for Speaker, Frederick Gillett (MA), on the floor. Because the progressives were numerous enough to represent a pivotal coalition between regular Republicans and Democrats, the strategy worked. Twenty progressive Republicans scattered their votes, which led to 8 inconclusive (deadlocked) speakership ballots over 2 days. Finally, the Republican leadership caved and met the progressives' demands, and the progressives swung their votes to Gillett on the ninth ballot and elected him. Two years later, after the regular Republicans added enough members to constitute a majority of the chamber, the Republican leadership, led by new Speaker Nicholas Longworth (OH), punished the progressives by removing them from important committees and/or stripping them of their chairmanships and committee seniority. In time, the progressives were chastened and welcomed back into the fold, but only after agreeing to support the Republican Conference choice for Speaker. Could 2013 end up resembling 1923? It's unlikely in absolute terms, but still relatively more likely than in a "normal" speakership election year. The Tea Party-inclined conservatives in the GOP are certainly numerous enough to scatter their votes in the speakership election and thereby extend the balloting. And, as Ryun notes, it would only require a fairly small group of them to do this: 16, given certain assumptions. The parallel to 1923 is a bit strained in that the progressive Republicans were located ideologically between the regular Republicans and the Democrats, while the Tea Party conservatives are located on the extreme end of the Republican distribution. Therefore, there was the possibility that the progressive Republicans could join with the Democrats to elect a Speaker in 1923 (even though this was never seriously considered), while such a joining of conservative Republicans and Democrats in 2013 has no basis in reality. Nevertheless, the Tea Party-inclined conservatives in the GOP showed their willingness to buck the leadership in the 112th Congress and stand up for what they (and their constituents) believed in. Thus, it is not inconceivable that a group of at least 16 conservatives might value the position-taking benefits of extending the speakership balloting – and, by doing so, fight the good fight against "Czar Boehner" – over the potential sanctions that they might face if and when Boehner is elected. And the probability of such a dissident group forming may increase as January approaches – if the tension and outrage over the committee purge ramps up, for example, and, perhaps more importantly, if Boehner and the bulk of the GOP eventually agree to higher taxes on the wealthy in order to avoid plunging off the fiscal cliff.

Jenkins and Charles Stewart are the authors of the new book Fighting for the Speakership: The House and the Rise of Party Government.

Service in Ferron
With its second anniversary looming, Castle Service is expanding to serve a bigger portion of the county. Castle Service South will open during the week of April 28 in Ferron.
The family's dream of opening a business has come true, now the hard work and dedication to serving the Emery County area is growing. Mike Hurdsman, owner of Castle Service has recognized a need and is doing something about that need.
"A large percentage of our customers at Castle Service travel from Emery, Ferron and Clawson to have their service work done. Opening Castle Service South was necessary to accommodate our customers," said Hurdsman.
"We have the building in Ferron on a two year lease, but we are hoping to purchase the property so we can make some renovations that will help us to serve our customers more quickly. We are in the process of cleaning up the yard and installing up-to-date equipment. Our plans are also to bring one of the wreckers over from Huntington and have it available in Ferron for service to the south end of the county and I-70," added Hurdsman.
Brandin Hurdsman will be the shop manager at the new facility in Ferron. Daniel Barney and Rober Parmar will be making the move to the Ferron store with Brandin for the time being. In the future some of the other mechanics may rotate at the Ferron facility to accommodate all the customers needs.
Employees of Castle Service and Castle Service South are Robert Parmar, Tifnie Hansen, Kevin Hurdsman, Brandin Hurdsman, Betty Labrum, Randell Friedman, Todd Auberger, Daniel Barney, Kris Barker, Kevin Dull, Jeremy Behling, Trevor Olsen and Deana Jennings. There are plans in the works to hire several additional employees.

In 1969, SB 164 (urgency legislation), authored by Senator Alquist, was enacted into law. It expressed intent to encourage California Community Colleges to establish programs and services directed to the identification, recruitment, retention and intellectual and vocational stimulation of students affected by language, social or economic disadvantages. Funding for 1960-70 was $2,870,000. Legally effective in November, EOPS was partly implemented in the Spring of 1970 with 46 institutions participating.
A review of important social events and issues of the sixties may facilitate an understanding of the political climate in which SB 164 was born.
With the advent of Civil Rights Act of 1964, both overt and covert discrimination came under the law. This was the most comprehensive attempt to equalize human rights since post Civil War activities.
In 1965, the Watts riots stunned the State of California. Many people could not believe that Blacks outside the South and Eastern slums would resort to violence and destruction. Insightful decision-makers, however somewhat reluctantly, began seeking root causes. Early conclusions indicated that EVEN IN CALIFORNIA, THE PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM WAS NOT REALLY OPEN. For many, TRUE EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY DID NOT EXIST.
In 1968, our nation's capitol was the scene of the massive, emotional and effective "Poor People March". Poverty in the affluent country was dramatized. More and more citizens became aware of the uneven distribution of wealth. Also, 1968, tens of thousands of Chicano students waked out of their schools, protesting INFERIOR EDUCATION in "blowouts" all over the South West. Acute observers began thinking of ways to EQUALIZE OPPORTUNITIES.
Beginning in the mid-sixties, there were many student-led disturbances on college campuses. Although UC Berkeley and San Francisco State receive the most notoriety in California, many community colleges experienced unrest as well. Targets were: The Vietnam War, students power, racism and student aid. An effort to meet the responsibility to integrate more people into the dominant culture was indicated.
Some felt EOPS was an attempt to quell student rebellions and reduce campus tensions.

Maybe that is Gary Bettman, maybe it is Donald Fehr, but either way they both
look like asses have their head in the sand right now.
The NHL and NHLPA are allegedly going to take a break from negotiating, further proving how BOTH sides are completely clueless on how much damage they are doing to the game. Even worse is that both of them, and sadly too many people on twitter, actually believe that the fans are on their side.
I can't speak for every fan, but most are at the point of despising both the NHL and NHLPA. How can you actually be on either side at this point, unless you are a player, related to a player, an owner or one of his employees? I can't see any reason to hitch your horse to either wagon.
Even worse is that the posturing, rhetoric and distrust have once again become the rallying cries for both sides.
The sad part is how many people are still trying to rationalize this lockout. I applaud you for trying, but let's be realistic neither side truly wants an agreement. If they actually wanted an agreement, rather than trying to get the other side to blink, it would have happened by now.
Some of you will say this is how negotiating works, but is it is actually working?
Earlier this evening both sides sent out a press release after numerous outlets reported that Gary Bettman suggested they take a two-week moratorium since they've made no progress during recent negotiations.
The NHLPA released the following statement:
"We believe that it is more likely that we will make progress if we meet than if we don't. So we are ready to meet. If indeed they do not want to meet, it will be at least the third time in the last three months that they have shut down the dialogue, saying they will not meet unless the players meet their preconditions.
"What does that tell you about their interest in resolving this," said NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr.
The NHL, of course, needed to respond.
"We are extremely disappointed in where we and the players find ourselves. And from our perspective, we have made repeated moves in the players' direction with absolutely no reciprocation. Unfortunately, we have determined we are involved with union leadership that has no genuine interest in reaching an agreement. Regardless of what we propose, or how we suggest to compromise the answer is "no." At some point you just have to say "enough is enough," said deputy commissioner Bill Daly.
This is like a bad TV show; essentially the same story line every week. Both sides suggest the other one isn't interested in getting a deal done, however, both try to convince hockey fans that they "really care about the game" and just want to play.
It's becoming nothing short of a lame and pointless dick measuring contest. Except both of them have two inch rulers, so neither proposal is that enticing or measured with any accuracy.
I think most of us can predict what will happen in the coming days.
Sometime next week, likely Wednesday or Thursday the NHL will cancel another two-week block of games. The NHLPA will reiterate that no games needed to be cancelled, because they were willing to play and negotiate in good faith during the season.
Then, sometime before the proposed two-week break is over they will agree to meet and start another mundane and unproductive round of negotiating.
Outside of a well-placed kick in the ass, they need a firm deadline on when the season will be cancelled. Both sides believe the other will blink first, so maybe a deadline ignites some serious negotiations, or maybe their inability to notice the incredible damage they've done to the game continues.
Either way, at least the fans can have some closure for the 2012/2013 season.
- Is it just me or is the most infuriating aspect of this lockout the fact that they are fighting over money, yet they are losing millions every day. This is likely too simplistic of math, but if we say the season is 186 days long, 60 days for the playoffs and 14 for preseason that equals 260 days.
If we divide $3.3 billion by 260 days that means they are losing $12,269,307.00 a day. Multiples that by 53 days (I subtracted 9 days of the actual 62 days since lockout started because preseason wouldn't have begun until Sept 24th) and they've thrown away $672,692,307.00 of revenue.
It must be nice to be able to walk away from almost $673 million.
- Would fans be willing to ask for their season-ticket money back? Some teams have refunded the money, but many teams are holding it until the lockout is resolved. Would you ask for your money back, or have teams informed you that you would lose your tickets for good if you asked for a refund?
- If that is the case, would fans on the waiting list gobble them up right away? Would you?
- Will you rush back the minute the lockout ends? Will you cut back on the amount of games you go to, games you watch or merchandise you purchase?
- Is it realistic to expect fans to stay away, or is the game to addicting?
- Could you stay away if the Oilers made the playoffs?
At this point I'm not angry, but I'm disappointed that the NHL and NHLPA have shown there is a major gap between them and their fans and even sponsors. While they will tell you different, their actions clearly prove they believe their product is so strong it can withstand another lengthy lockout.
I honestly don't know if they are correct or delusional, but I sense fans and sponsors won't be flocking back as quickly or as happily as they did in 2005.
November 16 2012, 11:55AM
I hope the season is gone.
The players will learn the hard way...again.
Fans will be less forgiving this time and salaries will go down down down.

And so will the owners profits, the same owners that are allowing Bettman to shelf talks for 2 weeks.

From the NHL/NHLPA perspective, they don't care if you are angry. If you are angry you care and thus are still a fan and will be back at some point. They should care if you're apathetic, in which case you aren't visiting ON 2 months into this nonsense. I think they are grossly overestimating people's tollerance and willingness to spend their money and time elsewhere.
Personally I'm jacked for all the extra $ I have for skiing this year.
November 16 2012, 12:18PM
I think the 3rd party, namely us the fans, need to somehow be heard.
The only thing that will make them react is money.
Gregor, what companies advertise with or have contacts with the NHL?
Somehow we have to let it be know to:
1) Stop buying all Molson/Coors products 2) Refrain from watching any CBC shows 3) Refrain from watching NBC or companies owned by NBC 4) etc etc.
If you put the revenue stream in the cross hairs they will have to react.
This lockout won't effect the games I attend or watch at home. They won't see a dime from me in terms of merchandising however. My f you to these guys is buying from less than reputable sources.
November 16 2012, 01:04PM
Both groups dont really believe that the fans will do anything drastic, otherwise they would have made a move on this ages ago.They know we will be back.. and we will you all know that.
I think the media for what its worth should just stop reporting on this lockout 100%. Dont give them any press, besides its the same boring stuff that you guys have had to print for weeks now... so why bother.. there is no news. Besides I cant stand looking at these two mugs any longer. As you said Jason its my 2 inches are longer than your 2 inches {Gary] Its the battle of egos, loosing millions of dollars. And, these are suppose to be educated men.. sounds like idiots, to me,keep saying no. Any fool can come up with that answer.
November 16 2012, 01:04PM
I guess it's a good thing that these guys are making so much money now, as a collective, that they have no idea how to share it amongst themselves, but come on if either side really wanted a resolution to this problem wouldn't they just hire an arbitrator?
It's not like it would kill the league to take 48% and it's not like it would kill the players to take 52 or 53 or 49 either. This is about digging your heels in the sand because you think you've been slighted by the other side.
Makes me feel like I'm on the playground again.

"It's becoming nothing short of a lame and pointless dick measuring contest. Except both of them have two inch rulers, so neither proposal is that enticing or measured with any accuracy."
I disagree - I think all parties involved in this mess could be accurate to the 1/32 of an inch with a 2-inch ruler. They certainly have no balls, so small dicks seem a given.
November 16 2012, 01:35PM
This lockout is friggin gross.. I am so sick of hearing about it.. both sides are to blame here but.. ill tell you what.. I will gladly play for a million bucks and put up with the "unfairness" and being treated "badly". Gimme a effin break.. your getting paid plenty.. And for the owners.. control your spending already.. I think the roll back is a joke but in the same breath.. The players also need a reality check.. I have 2 jobs mortgage, 2 cars, 2 kids and a wife... like i said.. id love to play for a million a yr.. Why dont they just go off the last CBA and tweek it??!! Last i saw or ever heard.. An NHL player wasnt stressed over paying bills.. When the NHL comes back i will still follow.. but as for paying for NHL stuff... i may be done for awhile..
Well back to REAL work...
November 16 2012, 01:42PM
I continue to read ON because I hope you are also able to survive this asinine lockout. Having said that, I believe all media outlets need to stop reporting on it, quit sending reporters to grab the same sound bites from Bettman and Fehr, and quit publishing their press releases. They need to be completely ignored.

How dare you bring perspective, empathy, compassion and real life lessons into this discussion, Oilanderp!
Don't you know this is about millionaires, billionaires, greed and egos?
Geez, some guys just don't get it.
November 16 2012, 03:17PM
Once the poison enters the bloodstream, rehabilitation is highly unlikely.
This lockout is just a necessary part of the business. When things do return....you best stay away from my spot on the couch you bastages.
My 2 cents, not sure if it's the norm amongst us hoser types.
Interesting comparison to 'the real world'. Hostess had 3 billion+ profits.
November 16 2012, 03:49PM
If we do have a season this year, I hope fans across the league can organize and agree that everybody skips their team's home opener. Watching teams put on their opening night spectacles and player introductions to totally empty buildings would be a wonderful little f**k you to the league and the players after the massive f**k you they've given the fans.
November 16 2012, 04:07PM
If I had season tickets, I would cancel them immediately and buy a massive TV to watch the games on instead.

If I had season tickets, I would cancel them immediately and buy a massive TV to watch the games on instead.
and there would be a huge line up of people behind you waiting to pounce on your seats.
@Jason Gregor
Now that Peckham has been released from San Fransisco (on his own accord by all accounts), any chance you can get him for a follow up interview as to the reasoning? All of that talk of him getting and staying in game shape sure didn't last long .
The league is tired of negotiating against itself, it is really as simple as that as far as the moratorium on talks.
I don't know how anyone can side with the players on this. The NHL is actually trying to put in a system that makes all teams viable and the players just want guaranted money until the end of time.
The players do themselves no favours with their comments. They come off as the uneducated man children that they are. I mean Jamal Mayers thought moratorium was some big fancy word and couldn't even pronouce it yet he thinks he knows how business works.
November 16 2012, 09:54PM
I don't really miss the NHL or care either way how this all turns out.
I drop by here at least twice a week to read all the posts from people who promise to swear off hockey once it returns. It proves more entertaining than any Oiler game I've gone to in the last 3 years.
To promise yourself not to go to the games or watch them on TV when they return is the same as pacing outside your local convenience store before it opens promising yourself that this will be the last pack of smokes you will ever buy because you've really had a chance to think it over by waiting. Not very convincing.
Interesting take. So you think the NHL was fine to continually overpay players, when they didn't have to, and then give an extremely low-ball offer to start the negotiations.
And they aren't on the ice right now, so you should care, no?
Jason, do you expect the hockey players playing in the Stanley cup playoffs to play by the rules. No, you know and expect those players will do anything to win both within the rules and even outside the rules. Then why would anyone expect the GM'S and owners not to compete just as hard in the only why they can, by using money and even loop holes to try an assemble a winner. It's funny for years before the first lockout players and fans would always refer to the teams that would throw money around as having "ownership committed to winning". The fans, agents and player but these people in no win situations. The CBA negotiations is really the only time when the owner can realistically and legally, reign in their collective spending habits and say no mas to the players. And we can see how we'll that has been received.
P.s thanks for being one of the few media for asking tough questions, or pointing out how ludicrous the players logic has been. You have even given your buddy Struds some trouble, well done. I realize you are a little more neutral than I but maybe I can pull you over to the dark side.
Stop me if you have heard this before.
US and Canadian federal courts rule that the obstinate and greedy NHL owners have broken anti-trust rules.
Henceforth, there is no requirement for the NHLPA and consequently it disappears and the CBA has no legality.
No salary cap, maximum or minimum. No entry level draft of amateur players. All players are free agents. No entry level contracts. No guaranteed contracts. No rules.
Players agents can negotiate as they like with gullible GMs and owners. The rich NHL owners can afford to attract the emerging stars, just as they have before, and always place their franchises in a winning position. The less than rich owners will lose their stars and operate as though their franchises are on a similar to that of the AHL, as before.
Fans of rich owners win, fans of poorer owners lose. Players win because rich owners will pay players whatever they need to win.
For Oilers fans, does this sound familiar to the 1990s?
Fries with that Steve?
Classic Win Win for some, Lose Lose for others. And the rich owners provide Bettman with a huge bonus. Priceless, if you aren't an Oilers' fan!
Here are my plans, and I am a die hard fan. We are heading to OKc for a game and then to Houston for a Texans game. I know that Okc is an Oilers product, but oh well. I made a decision not to buy cancelation insurance because I will not drive to Edmonton, I will not drink alot of Herion beer at Rexaal. Not this year, no matter what. And, the price for Air, Hotel and barons tix you ask. Try this on, less than $600.

I hope the NHL gives one final proposal on Monday morning, a take it or leave it proposal that expires on Friday. Saturday morning they are either scheduling games or the season is cancelled. Done. At least this way we can all move on.
If there is no hockey the NHL tables the same offer on June 1st less 5% that expires in one week. The deal is signed or the seasn is cancelled. We can fish, golf, go camping, basically enjoy our summer without the drama being played out day after day
I would love to see the players crawl back on their hands and knees begging for anything that resembles the previous offers. I don't feel one ounce of sympathy for these guys. You know what they call making 2 million dollars in a year? Lotto 649. These guys basically win the lottery every year and it's not enough. Let them miss another year, let them miss 2 years, whatever it takes to put these self-entitled spoiled brats in their place once and for all.
One more thought that I somebody brought up on another site. Isn't it ironic that the players previous missed a full year to fight a CBA that they are now fighting to hold onto?
Idiots !!!!!!
November 17 2012, 12:39PM
The lock out could be ended within a week.
NHL offers that the minimum salary be increased to $1 million per year and that contract length would be based on the average annual salary. The higher the cap hit, the lower the years. Or a maximum of a total contract can be $25 million.
Tell them the offer is to benefit the players who are more likely to have shorter careers and have been hurt the most from the lost income.
Everything else stays the same as the NHL's current proposal.
Other condition is that this offer must be voted on by all members of the NHLPA.
If this happened, we would be playing hockey again by Dec 15th.
This would also reduce the huge gaps in salaries between players.

Investigation of 787 Dreamliner Issues to Focus on Batteries

The 787 Dreamliner's charred battery
(Source: nycaviation.com)
The battery will be sent to Tokyo for a deeper inspection
An opening investigation into
the safety of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner
is complete, and with the focus primarily on the 787's battery, more safety checks are on the way.
Boeing, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Japanese officials have completed their initial investigation into the 787's battery problems in recent weeks. A battery that was involved in this week's incident will be sent to Tokyo for further investigation.
A Japanese safety official mentioned that the battery associated with this week's incident was charred, and that excessive electricity could be the reason it overheated. The battery looked like a burnt metal box that had liquid spilling from the inside.
Boeing uses rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for its main electrical system. GS Yuasa Corp., which makes the lithium-ion batteries used in the 787s, said the problem could be the battery, the power source or the electronics system.
Just this week,
a 787, which was an All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight to Tokyo, had an issue with its main battery only 15 minutes into a 90-minute flight. After 40 minutes, a burning smell made its way into the cabin and cockpit, and the plane made an emergency landing at Takamatsu Airport on the southern island of Shikoku.
This issue
caused all 787s to be grounded
in Japan, the U.S. and India until a safety investigation was conducted and the problems were corrected.
Unfortunately, this incident isn't where the 787's problems started. Early last week,
a 787
operated by Japan Airlines
experienced an electrical fire
at Boston's Logan International Airport
after coming in from Tokyo. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, a battery in the auxiliary power unit suffered severe fire damage.
Just one day later, a Boeing 787 operated by the same airline at the same airport suffered a fuel leak. The fuel leak was discovered at 12:25 p.m. ET right after the 787 left the gate for a trip to Tokyo. The flight was cancelled, and the plane was towed back to the gate where passengers were instructed to exit and stay in the airport. No one was injured.
As it turns out, about 40 gallons of fuel had leaked from the 787. The plane ended up being delayed four hours before leaving for Tokyo.
On Friday of last week,
two more issues occurred
It was discovered that a 787 Dreamliner with All Nippon Airways (ANA), which had arrived at the Matsuyama airport in western Japan from Tokyo on Friday, developed a web-like crack in the cockpit window. The pilot found it about 70 minutes into the flight, but no one was injured. In a separate incident on Friday, but also with ANA, another 787 Dreamliner had an oil leak after traveling to the Miyazaki airport in southern Japan. It is unclear how much oil had leaked.

Now I'm almost positive that Orochimaru's scroll will have something to do with stopping Madara.

Holy FUCK shit just got real!
Madara knew how to release himself the whole damn time. Is he gonna make Kabuto and the rest of the world his bitch? Can Naruto get there in time?
And what of Tobi? He knows Kabuto played his trump card and that edo tensei has now been released and I don't think he raided Nagato's rinnegan after Kabuto's edo tensei show just for shitz and giggles. I now think he shat bricks when he saw Madara's coffin because he knew how dangerous it was to summon a ninja of that calibre. Even with the rinnegan I doubt he can just walk up to him and rip his soul out.
If Itachi was on another whole level from the rest, impossible to be restricted, then it shouldn't be surprising that Madara is on an even higher level (he doesn't even need to use an outside source).
Madara knew how to release himself, but his movement and will might still have been restricted, so that he can't undo himself, but the moment the whole ET was undone, all Edos gained free movement for a short time. That time-frame was enough for him to release himself.
I guess the Flying Dragon Team (Team Hawk + Kabuto ?)will need to do something with Madara now . If all of Naruto's supporters run towards him now, then shouldn't it be the same for Sasuke ?
TDGS, it is extremely effective against ET, but they still would need to remove Susanoo first, since it needs physical contact. The only people who might know it are, Tsunade and Kabuto.
Yo Madara, you can't go away son? Am glad he's sticking around though.

So because Madara knew the seal, he is able to live on. Didn't Itachi learn the seal from Kabuto and thus should also be able to do the same thing?
Avatar and Signature by Ravona
So I'm thinking, there got to be a way to release the technique, or to stop Madara for good. But where will this solution come from? Will Sasuke use Itachi's trick on Madara?(highly unlikely). Was it on the scroll Hugo and Suigetsu found? Will maybe Sasuke obtain the Totsuka sword and seal Madara? Or will maybe Tobi play a part of it? So many options!!!!!!!

There is one thing that doesn't make sense though. It's as if it contradicts the story thus far. If really something (a risk) like this was there, don't you think The 2nd Hokage-Tobirama himself will know of this since he was the one that created this jutsu in the first place? If so, why didn't he terminate the contract when Orochimaru summoned him? It's not like he wanted to wreck havoc on Konoha himself plus by releasing or cancelling the contract, the third wouldn't have had to use shiki fujin in the first place. This doesn't make sense. Madara is being overpowered senselessly. When I first read this in the spoilers section and saw that somebody had commented on it as being a load of bull crap, I thought to myself; that's an apt response and that it couldn't be true. Ah well Kishi owns the story anyway. Can't be helped. Plot-plot no jutsu. It couldn't possibly be that the 2nd totally forgot about that cos ET leaves the summoned person's memory intact to the point of their death.

Wasnt tobirama's movements way more limited compared to Madara who was basically roaming free to the point of actually being able to think and use the seals himself?
