Virgin Blue Increases Regional Services07/07/2001
More Flights To Touch Down In Townsville
Virgin Blue will increase the number of flights in and out of Townsville, following overwhelming support from the North Queensland travelling public as well as those wanting to venture to the warmth and sunshine of Townsville.
Queensland based carrier Virgin Blue chose Townsville as its first regional destination and began flying one return flight a day between the city and Brisbane four months ago to test the level of interest in the previously under served route.
Both leisure and business guests have embraced Virgin Blue, inspiring the airline to boost its frequency from 7 to 9 weekly return flights, an increase of more than 25%.
From August 4 through until October, Virgin Blue will offer an extra 737 service on both Saturday and Sunday, using the brand new Next Generation aircraft.
The extra Saturday flight departs Townsville at 7.40pm, the additional Sunday flight will take off at 9.20am, while the 7 day a week flight departs Townsville at 5.15pm.
To complement the existing 2.45pm daily departure out of Brisbane, Virgin Blue will offer a 5.10pm departure to Townsville on Saturday, as well as a 6.50am departure on Sunday. After October, Virgin Blue will review the service based on demand.
Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "We are thrilled with the support we've received on this regional route and are thankful our guests recognise that Virgin Blue is committed to providing long term sustainable low fares to the region."
He continued, "Gone are the days where people had to pay $900 return for the privilege of flying between Brisbane and Townsville. At the end of the day, people recognise which airline has made travel suddenly cheaper on this route and as long as people support us, low fares are here to stay".
"The increased service will now provide the opportunity for more people to experience Virgin Blue's great service and on-time performance which is second to none." Brett Godfrey finished.
Virgin Blue operates the most modern, technologically advanced aircraft in Australia today, with an average age of less than 5 years, compared with Ansett's average fleet age of 11.7 years and Qantas with an average fleet age of 10.8 years.

The state of the IT industry as I see it... (Part 1)
By user13366129 on Okt 14, 2009
During my summer vacation, and driven by the fact, that Oracle is acquiring Sun, I had been spending thoughts on the state of the IT industry lately.
Then last week, some colleagues forwarded a link to a fake interview with Bjarne Stroustrup on the invention of C++ and the drivers behind it. This interview now triggered my intent to write down some thoughts and publish them for discussion.
Additionally the new hype word "Cloud" made me want to add some comments to that as well. Specifically, as my possible new boss, Larry Ellison calls it "vapor water".
So, let's start with some basic facts, that I think, are important to understand what I'm trying to explain:
- Moore's Law
- Software needs
As a sideeffect of this rapid growth in compute power, many companies have gone out of business or are close to getting out of business. Think DEC, Data General, Compaq, SGI, Cray, Apollo Computer and others like these. Now Sun Microsystems also will become history.
The question behind this all simply is: Why?
In order to start an answer, I will first deviate a bit...
In September 1990 there was a famous 15 year anniversary edition titled "Byte Magazine 15th anniversary summit, setting the standards" of the Byte magazine, which did try to shade an outlook into the next 15 years of the computer industry and its development by asking the 63 most influential people of the time to look back and from that predict the future. Sadly, Byte was torn down in 1998, and although it did continue as a web-presence for some years, it is no longer available, and had been removed from the web in February 2009. So also the link above no longer works.
A link to the table of contents of that edition at least can be found here. The cover page is here. And some of the predictions published in that issue can be found here (that page calls it a brief excerpt, sadly I dumped all my paper versions of Byte approx. 10 years ago into the bin in the hope of it being online forever. How naive, wrong and mistaken have I been... ;-( ) (discussion point two) (and: btw: I'd like to get a copy, if anyone can spare his/hers).
In that discussion, many diverse topics had been approached, and had been answered by many but not all of the 63 people. One of those was Donald Knuth, creator of the programming language Pascal. He is cited with:
Donald Knuth: ...computers are going to double in speed every year until 1995, and then they're going to run out of ideas.
How wrong has he been...
And as a proof point to my second topic above, I'd like to quote Mr Kernighan, inventor of the famous programming language C:
What about the software side of the equation? Or are all the changes coming in hardware?
Brian Kernighan: Software, unfortunately, is not nearly as easy to make go better as hardware seems to be. And the software will not get better fast enough, and so you'll piddle away more and more of [the power] on stuff that doesn't quite work the way you want it to....
And then there was the question:
What is the biggest obstacle to major new breakthroughs in computing?
In a word, software, not hardware.
Suffice it to say, that I assume these predictions from close to 20 years ago a valid proof point for my thesis, that software didn't grew and doesn't grow in demand as quickly as the hardware grew and still grows in speed and capabilities.
After this short deviation into the past using a look into the most important publication of that era back to the question on why the IT industry is in the state that it is in today.
It seems obvious, that some (shall I say: many?) have miscalculated the differences in development speed between software and hardware. Or assumed, that the overall demand for compute power might still ramp up and make up for the growth in produced CPU capacities to still be able to sell as much (in Dollars) as before (that would have required to sell way more units then before). It did work for quite a while during the gold-rush era of the early 21st century and the dot-com bubble, where many new enterprise were created that used the internet and needed CPUs like crazy. But it also seems obvious from this fact, that hardware is becoming more and more of a commodity, because the average cost per CPU-cylce needed to solve a specific problem goes down and down. My favorite statement here is, which I use often in virtualization talks, and now in cloud talks: "Take your mobile phone out of your pocket, look at it, and remember: NASA had LESS CPU power (in total) to savely bring mankind to the moon and back compared to what you look at right now."
That then sets the stage for open and candid discussions on the state of virtualization, cloud computing et. al. But, again, more on that later.

About Brighten
Formed in Chico, California in 2004, Brighten deliver sweet melody with their sunny, alt-pop sound. Founded by Alex Draper with Justin and Jimmy Richards, the band's warm, infectious sound helped them find success early on when they hooked up with J.T. Woodruff's Carbon Copy Media, who released the band's debut album, King vs. Queen before Woodruff took the trio on tour with his own band, Hawthorne Heights, in 2007. The high would be short-lived, however, as the following year, Jimmy Richards announced he would be taking time off from the band to do missionary work in Africa, while Justin Richards joined A Rocket to the Moon as a full-time member. Despite new commitments, the band announced in 2009 that they would go into the studio to begin work on new material, with their follow-up, I'll Always Be Around, eventually arriving in 2011. ~ Gregory Heaney, Rovi

Cute but not the right color
"I saw these online and to me the color looked like bright yellow and black which would have matched a new spring outfit perfectly. When I opened the box however, the shoes were more of a lime green/chartreuse than yellow. They are cute but just didn't match what I wanted them for.

Perfect look, Perfect Fit
"I bought these shoes in black and chartreuse, with a black and white striped bow ... stunning!! I had a hard decision to make between the coral and beige and the black and chartreuse (or are they black and greenish yellow?) because they were both beautiful and I didn't need either pair! Upon seeing them in person in the store, I'm glad I ordered the ones I did because 1. they are absolutely smashing, 2. I have beige and coral already and 3. The ones I chose will be easier to keep clean during a hot, New York summer (with tar melting in the streets!) Besides that, they are extremely comfortable and a perfect fit! Love them!"

I'd always thought the reason Isshin left SS was because of Ichigo. I'm sure there must be rules against having a child with a Quincy (enemy). I had always assumed Isshin was simply in hiding on earth. (Though I digress, previously it was because of Ichigo being his son, and not entirely of "what" Ichigo was.) (As Ichigo being a Quincy/Shinigami hybrid would likely have been killed had his existence been known about by SS)
Also, I thought it was mentioned earlier that the Quincies confronted Aizen to recruit him to their side in this conflict and he said, "yeah, no thanks guys, i'm good all bound up here for now."

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Channing Ward's high school career was marked by spectacular plays. Ole Miss coaches are hopeful he will soon make those plays for the Rebels.
The ongoing spring workouts have been Ward's first chance to get the volume of fundamental teaching he missed by reporting late to August camp for his freshman season. An All-American at Aberdeen, it took longer for Ward to be certified by the NCAA.
The delay served to heighten expectations. He appeared in all 12 games last year, much of his work on special teams, and finished with 21 tackles, 11⁄2 tackles for loss.
His spring has been less about spectacular plays and more about finding a comfort level. There's still ground to cover.
"There's going to be a point where Channing will cut it loose. I still think he thinks too much. I don't think he's cut it loose and is aggressive as we need for him to be an SEC guy yet … but he'll get there," Ole Miss defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said.
Ward agrees.
He was off-limits for interviews last year but spoke after practice on Monday.
"I feel like there's more on the table for me," he said. "There's always more. I feel like I'm second-guessing myself sometimes."
Ward is currently running second team at one end behind program veteran Carlos Thompson. There have been extra snaps to go around this spring since starter C.J. Johnson sustained a broken leg early on. He'll be ready for August, and the Rebels will add Robert Nkemdiche, the nation's top recruit.
Ward is getting the instruction. It seems now the ball is in his court in terms of speeding up his game.
Comfort level and playing fast were key components at Aberdeen when he recorded 29 sacks over his final two seasons.
He was dominant in all-star competition, and by the time he signed with Ole Miss was ranked the No. 48 player by ESPN, the No. 5 defensive end.
"In high school it was just find the ball and tackle whoever's got it," he said. "There wasn't too much technique and learning plays."
Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze is eager for college ball to become like high school ball for Ward.
"He won't turn it loose every play. I thought he did today. He played well today," Freeze said Monday. "We've just got to get him to turn it loose and feel confident in what he's doing."

The painful stab of the blood draw, unpleasant for adults and upsetting for little kids, could be history if Air Force research into wearable sensors takes wing.
The idea, says researcher Josh Hagen, is to create a bandage-like sensor that can detect the same markers in sweat that are present in blood. The data could be instantly transmitted to a computer, even a smart phone, for analysis.
"We're trying to do a couple of things, says Hagen, who leads a group at the 711th Human Performance Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. "We're trying to eliminate giant blood draw. We're also trying to get the answers a lot quicker to the people who need them than they are getting them now. We're talking minutes or in real time."
Advancements in nanotechnology make such a device possible for blood tests in several years, if not right around the corner, he says. But wearable sensors — "an electronic Band-Aid" — that can help enhance athletic or battlefield performance are closer to reality.
Instant results of blood tests have obvious military applications: assessing and evacuating casualties, something the Air Force has gained a wealth of experience with during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, would be enhanced. Doctors could assess data transmitted from the point where a soldier was wounded rather than waiting for a lab to analyze blood drawn at a combat hospital.
The bonus for children jumps to mind when Hagen thinks about the relevance for civilians.
"There are absolute huge applications on medical field side, especially when you talk about pediatrics where you do not want to have to take blood draws unless you absolutely have to," he says.
Several hurdles remain before such a device can be tested, let alone fielded, Hagen says. Results from standard blood tests have been accepted medical procedure for decades. Determining the corresponding markers in sweat and how to measure them will take time. It's also not clear how long it takes the markers in blood to become present in sweat. Is it hours, minutes or instantaneous?
"We're still learning," Hagen says. "Still early in the process."
Closer to reality: a wearable sensor that can gauge from your sweat if you've had enough to drink. It would be a boon for endurance athletes.
"Certainly if you work out you're cognizant of your hydration level," Hagen says. "There's no good way to know. You might feel light headed. Looking at urine color is really the only qualitative kind of metric to do that. That I think is more near term, on the order of years or less."
That kind of sensor, linked to a smart phone, could tell a runner when to drink, and even the type of electrolyte replacement she needs.
"Just imagine if you had a fuel gauge for yourself," Hagen says.

too much cushion?
"The style and price were nice. My husband liked them at first look, but not so much after putting them on. The cushion pad under his heel felt great, but because there was so much cushion, and not enough shoe around the back, his feet could hardly stay inside the shoe as he took steps. He said they felt like slippers. Maybe If these shoes had laces, they would've stayed on better. Oh well, returned them."

Skip to comments.Truckers roar to D.C. with impeachment movement
Posted on 09/30/2013 2:24:23 AM PDT by maddog55
In less than two weeks, thousands of truckers will descend on Washington, D.C., driving their big-rigs and calling for the restoration of a constitutional republic but now their plan has taken a new twist: Their friends and families will simultaneously join other Americans rallying on overpasses across the nation for Obamas impeachment.
The Truckers Ride for the Constitution movement has a new ally in their protest against what organizers say is corruption in government and a trashing of the Constitution. The group is teaming up with Overpasses for Obamas Impeachment to line the routes into Washington with flags during the Oct. 11-13 event.
Both Houses of Congress are tentatively scheduled to be in session Oct. 11.
Truckers Ride for the Constitution leader and organizer Zeeda Andrews, a country singer and former truck driver, said Overpasses Founder James Neighbors reached out to her, suggesting the two groups form an alliance. Neighbors said the partnership is a natural merger for a common cause.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
The House of Representatives needs to impeach most of the Senators who are in breach of their oaths of office. Unfortunately, only the Senate has the authority of holding a trial to convict the impeached Senators.
Truth speaks to the fleeting power of the Obama fascist movement.
Good read about Obama fascism and how it works:
I hope many thousands of truckers show up.
It will even more interesting to see how the "king " and Obamaville reacts
Hopefully some media who claim conservatism will cover the event....and not ignore it like they do with Feet to the Fire (anti Illegal Alien Amnesty)
Wouldn't it just be the remaining dozen or so who got to vote?
I hope far more show up than estimated. Are you hearing us libs? Your king is a tyrant and the worst president in U.S. history despite what he tells you to say. Wake up from your trance and look at what he has one to our nation and where he's heading us.
No, because you would no longer have the required quorum.
"Unfortunately, only the Senate has the authority of holding a trial to convict the impeached Senators.".....
while holding an impeachment trial may be controlled by the Senate, WE, THE PEOPLE have the power to vote them out.
IMO, "impeachment" is a farce. If you recall Clinton's impeachment, Immediately following the vote to impeach him, the demodummies held a lawn party to celebrate. Ba$tards, all of them.
Be careful what you wish for. Crazy Joe is waiting in the wings.
It seems this is getting bigger by the day!
Is public hanging a bit over the edge?
He doesn't care; he's leaving for Asis:
Does this mean the King FUBO has lost the Teamsters?
Oops, the = that
The Constitution forbids hanging, allowing only removal and exclusion from Federal offices. However, the impeached and convicted Senator may be liable to hanging upon trial and conviction for treason in a time of war. Democrats have expressed their desire to see Republicans so punished for opposing the will of the Democrats.
Aside from Jimmy Hoffa Jr. writing a letter that was read by Senator Cruz, I haven't heard any condemnation by the Teamsters of anything Obama. As of right now, who knows if Jimmy Jr. is even alive since writing that letter? I think that the Wildcat Truckers are the only truckers in on this protest.
Good timing, also.
God bless them! I hope they bring lots of tar and feathers!

I have been able to find no existing trucking organization which has even mentioned, much less endorsed, this claimed drive on Washington.
I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being a bunch of people standing on overpasses waiting for trucks that never show up. The msm would eat that up.
Keep on truckin'!
Lets start that conversation by acknowledging we arent going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants... bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society. Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors. [but hes not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.
Rand Slams Congress for Funding Egypt's Generals:
'How Does Your Conscience Feel Now?'
Foreign Policy | 15 Aug 2013 | John Hudson
Posted on 08/15/2013 5:44:10 PM PDT by Hoodat
Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt's military — even as Cairo's security forces massacre anti-government activists.
[by "anti-government activists" is meant church-burning jihadists]
There is some hope it will exceed the Million Muslim March (which was reported to be about 20 people and several hundred media).
The Teamsters are small stuff in trucking these days. When trucking was deregulated in 1980, non-union trucking rapidly took over.
The Teamsters union, like the UAW, now represents a lot of occupations not related to the original makeup of the union.
They do represent UPS, but I'll bet my next SocSec deposit there won't be any UPS trucks in that protest.
Obamacare is TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.
Obamacare has nothing to do with care, health or medical treatment.
Obamacare has everything to do with a mandatory insurance that everyone must buy at the point of the Federal gun.
Obamacare Medical Insurance premiums are under the control of the IRS.
These insurance premiums can be raised every year by the IRS with no involvement by Congress.
Thus, all the present and future Democrat rulers have to do is tell the IRS how much taxpayer dollars need to be forcefully extracted from the taxpayers, and the IRS will extract the money for them.
Hence, Obamacare Insurance is taxation without representation that Traitor John Roberts of THE NINE SUPREMES has ruled it to be above the control of the US Congress, and it will stay until Obamacare is ABOLISHED!
It is easy to recognize the obvious PONZI SCHEME called Obamacare.
Obamacare has nothing to do with health, care, or medicine.
Obamacare has EVERYTHING to do with insurance.
Obamacare is a Federal Insurance Monopoly.
Obamacare is in violation of US Anti-Trust Laws.
Obamacare is a Federal Insurance Premium Collection Agency, aka FIPCA for Obamacare.
We CONSERVATIVES know that there will be other future Federal Insurance Ponzi Schemes, right down to the Insurance Premium collected for the inhaling of the EPA ruled toxic gas CO2.
Then FIPCA will be there to collect that CO2 Insurance premium from all citizens.
But I digress, so let us focus on the present.
If Boehner Caves In to the Court of Public Opinion, which is run by the Low Information Liberal Mainstream Media, and Obamacare is funded, Obama can then raise every year or quarter his Obamacare insurance premiums as high as he wants to, and the sorry US Congress cant do anything about it.
Congress will thus be bypassed, and will no longer be needed in the future to fund the vote buying schemes of the social engineering POTUS.
Could Boehner be stupid enough to come up with his own Boehnercare Ponzi Scheme?

A large work from Brooklyn's jazz-oriented Little Women with saxophonists Travis Laplante & Darius Jones, guitarist Andrew Smiley, and drummer Jason Nazary, a sophisticated building work collectively composed and refined over two years.
Little Women
Label: Aum Fidelity
Released in: USA
"Lung - the new album-length composition from Brooklyn's genre-defying Little Women - is sonic cinema without precedent. Collectively composed and refined over the course of 2011/12, the piece is a collaborative work at the purest level, and is by far their most dynamic to date. Tone poem evocation, pop group melodicism, all-four-vocal-chords-as-one intonation, and unparalleled shrapnel-sharp/laser-beam-focused shredding are some of the sonic vistas moved through during this astonishing creation. The aim of their music continues to be transcendence, be it via brutally precise sonic assault, indelibly ascendant melodies or a quiet imbued with the globally resonant sound of the circulatory system.
Where their previous acclaimed suite Throat (2010, AUM061) grabbed listeners by the neck from its first seconds, Lung arises slowly from silence. The visceral qualities of their previous work maintained, the band is now also comfortable in places of deep subtlety - the long inhale, and magical moment of pause before the exhale - thereby diving deeper into the inner planes of emotion and spirit. The highly charged emotional center of Lung becomes fully evident only when listened to in its entirety.
The band writes, "The main themes/forms of Lung all have the shape of a downfall of something beautiful. We were working with a Shakespearian form from its conception. The main themes that developed organically throughout the process of creating Lung are: the life and death of humans, the inhale and the exhale, the death of earth (both seasonally and ultimately). These themes exist and are encompassed on both the microcosmic and macrocosmic level, meaning they exist simultaneously inside every sound, every phrase, every section, and the entire piece."

Your doctor has told you not to use tanning beds any more. Your skin is beginning to show more aging than your age should have. You have a family history of skin cancer and want to avoid it. Whatever your reason, you have decided to look at self-tanners as an alternative.
I applaud that decision, but remember to use safe sun practices and/or sunscreens as self-tanners offer no protection to your skin from UVA or UVB rays.
According to About.com:Chemistry, self-tanners have been around in some form since 1960.
In 1960, Coppertone introduced its first sunless tanning product - QT® or Quick Tanning Lotion. This lotion produced an overall orange effect. Today's sunless tanning products produce much more realistic results.
- Cosmetic bronzers produce immediate effects that can be easily removed with soap and water. Bronzers are available as powders, creams, and lotions. Only lasts until it is washed off.
Sunless Tanning Lotions and Sprays
- Most sunless tanning products are lotions and sprays containing dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. DHA is a colorless sugar that interacts with the dead cells located in the upper layer of the epidermis. This interaction is why exfoliation of "clumps" of dead skin cells is so important in getting an even color. This change usually lasts about five to seven days from the initial application.
The magazine Elle has a nice article which offers this advise for choosing the product to use:
Locke says choosing the right formula also determines how your tan will appear. "Go with a reputable brand, one that uses a lower percentage of DHA so that you can build your color accordingly," she says.
Bronze-seekers should also go for products infused with erythrulose, a sugar sourced from raspberries. The combination of DHA and erythrulose in a sunless tanning product is believed to yield longer-lasting, cosmetically pleasing color.
Some self-tanners, like those found in the St. Tropez collection, also contain green pigment to help counteract any orange.
Give yourself plenty of time, this is not something that should be rushed or can be done in 15 minutes: "it will be around two hours before you can put on "street clothes" and go somewhere."
What will you need to have handy?
You will need a place to take a shower or bath, a cotton washcloth to exfoliate your skin, soap, skin lotion, self tanner, facilities to wash your hands frequently, a band or tie to keep hair off of your face, and a fingernail scrub brush.
If you are going to apply self tanner to your back, make sure you have a sponge paintbrush (the three inch size is good) with a handle of three inches or more. You may also want a loose outfit, such as a robe, to wear while the self tanner is drying. It's also good to have a watch or clock around.
Before applying the self-tanning product, it is import to do proper skin-prep. Your skin needs to be clean and freshly exfoliated.
Go for a scrub that is gentle (think spherical, man-made beads over granular ones with uneven edges) to avoid irritating the skin prior to tanning. The ideal scrub should also be oil-free ("an oil-based polish can act as a barrier between the self-tanner and top layer of the skin," says Locke). When in a bind, using a loofah or muslin cloth with water will do the trick too.
using the cotton washcloth to remove dead and dry skin by rubbing your skin gently in a circular motion. Pay particular attention to the lower half of your legs, knees, ankles, tops of feet, and elbows. …
Important: Do not shave your legs if your skin is at all sensitive.
Next, apply a light layer of moisturizer to your skin, especially the areas like the elbows, hands, feet, ankles, and knees.
Time to apply to self tanner
- Take a look at the clock and note the time.
- Start with your legs and work your way upwards doing the face and neck last.
- Apply quickly but thoroughly, spreading in a circular motion to avoid streaking, being careful not to miss any areas.
- In most areas apply the self tanner a little more heavily than you would apply ordinary lotion. Exceptions: Do not apply it directly to your toes, your heels, or the sides of your feet. The face and neck areas take the self tanner well, so apply sparingly. Don't forget to apply it behind your ears.
- Wash both of your hands thoroughly every 5 minutes to avoid getting color in your palm and between the fingers. Don't forget to use the nail scrub brush.
- Next comes your torso and arms. Use the sponge paint brush to apply self tanner to your back. Don't forget under your arms and the sides of your torso.
- Wash your hands again being careful not to splash water on any of the areas you wish to be tanned.
- Now you have entered the drying zone. After 15 minutes (preferably 30 minutes), you can put on a loose nightgown or Mumu to wear while you continue to dry.
- Avoid exercise or anything that will make you sweat for one hour.
To maintaining your tan, you will need to reapply self tanner every three days.

edwardcullenfan: Totally do that! It's the easiest way and it sounds casual enough if he doesn't feel the same way as you do about him. Perfect!
Psugar: Yay honors classes! Congratulations! Those are really fun and the people are usually all really nice and good kids. Those essay prompts are so bizarre! I never got to choose anything when I did that. They just asked us random dumb questions like "Today's economy...blah blah blah"
update: It's Thursday.
Let's see...today he said I was adorable and stood next to me every chance we got. We talked a lot and spent a lot of time together. After class I went to the locker room to put my flute in the cubby and he came with me and then we talked some more. It's weird and I don't know what to think anymore. I feel like this could just be his personality but I still like it. I'm having doubts about Evan too. Seriously, today I told him my friends asked me to live in their apartment next year and I told him I probably wasn't going to because I wouldn't get alone time with him and he said "don't do that. I don't know where I'll be next year." What am I supposed to take that as?! I think I just want to be single and have my space for a little while. Be free to see people as I please and do what I want instead of always having to be there with him when I don't feel he's there for me. It's so frustrating. I want something to happen with B, but I don't want to hurt Evan. This is the most ridiculous situation I could possibly find myself in. I shouldn't be allowed to be with anyone. Ha!

Steve 'Big' Jobs:
"Uncle Feste child molester; you're a gimmick poster- a total no-hoper

I'm writing this watching impact and smoking wacky baccy.

The Story of Masses Publishing Co. V. Patten: Judge Learned Hand, First Amendment Prophet
James Weinstein
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
December 20, 2011
FIRST AMENDMENT STORIES, Richard Garnett and Andrew Koppelman, eds., Foundation Press, 2011
This chapter explores the historical, political and legal context of Masses Publishing Co. v. Patten, one of the few decisions that upheld the right to protest America's involvement in World War I. Issued in the summer of 1917 by Learned Hand, then a young federal district court judge, Masses was quickly and emphatically reversed by the United States Court of Appeals. The chapter begins by examining the political and social conditions that underlay the hysterical reaction to anti-war protests and led to the conviction of over 1,000 anti-war protestors. It then analyzes the defects in the Supreme Court's free speech doctrine that permitted this massive assault on free speech and democratic self-governance. The chapter concludes by demonstrating how Hand's masterful opinion, though repudiated at the time, presciently anticipated several key themes in contemporary American free speech doctrine.

The 1992 NHL Players' Stike: A Relevant Story
JP Nikota
August 09 2012 01:46PM
I was only six years old when the NHL saw its first significant labour disruption in 1992, and to be honest, I had forgotten that it had happened at all. Having read Bruce Dowbiggin's Money Players, however, the story seems suddenly relevant.
Full disclosure: I've taken nearly all my information from Dowbiggin's book, so much credit goes to him for this article.
The NHL's then-president John Ziegler was at the helm of a very prosperous league, and he was often seen publicly trumpeting the impressive financial gains achieved under his tenure. (Note: Sound like someone you've heard of?) The league was the beneficiary of franchise relocation and expansion fees, and a national broadcasting contract had been signed with SportsChannel in the U.S. Young stars Mario Lemieux in Pittsburgh and Wayne Gretzky in Los Angeles were growing the game south of the border in a big way. Disney's The Mighty Ducks had just been released, and hockey was cool in the U.S.
The league was 50 games into what was then an 80-game season (it was later extended to 84 games) when recently-hired NHLPA boss Bob Goodenow called for job action. The players voted 560-4 in favour of a strike, and the league shut down for a mere 10 days. The players achieved increases in playoff bonuses, rights to their appearances on trading cards, and a few other issues.
Why did the NHL fold like Superman on laundry day? The answer is, in part, that there existed a disparity between smaller and larger-market teams. Minnesota North Stars GM Bobby Clarke said "It won't be the poor owners who decide to give up, it'll be the rich owners who want to get back to playing. They can still make money. The poor owners can stay out forever, because they have nothing to lose."
The Leafs, the Rangers, and the Habs and all the usual wealthy suspects were making money hand over fist and, since it was already April, many of the teams were hungry for playoff revenue. Many others, such as the Blues and the Sharks, were struggling to pay for brand new arenas, and attendance problems reared their heads in cities like Winnipeg and Hartford.
Even twenty years ago, smaller-market teams were having increasing difficulty signing high-profile players, as the era of multi-million dollar salaries had just begun (see: The Gretzky Trade). Players had recently started disclosing their salaries to each other so that they could compare their earnings to other players they perceived to be similarly talented. Moreover, with Alan Eagleson gone, players' value was no longer being undercut.
Later, Eric Lindros' long holdout for a contract lead to a massive contract (relative to the era) of over $3M a year, and set a benchmark for other young stars. If a man who hadn't played a single NHL game could get this much money, what were all these other emerging stars worth?
The gap between the NHL's poor and rich was already growing, but in the end, the wealthy teams and desperate new-arena teams forced the poorer ones to settle.
From Money Players:
Never underestimate how tough it was for Goodenow to sell the players on a strike," says former Calgary GM Craig Button. "He did a great job of getting the players that the owners couldn't afford to stay out. But had management simply shut down the game for the rest of the year, we'd have destroyed his credibility. Once players saw what happened when Ziegler settled, the league guaranteed his credibility and made the 1994-95 lockout possible.
This was the NHL's first big opportunity to address the disparity of riches amongst NHL teams, and they did nothing of the sort. No discussion of a hard cap. No mention of a luxury tax. No revenue sharing at all, actually.
So let's recap
The NHL was, as a 22-team entity, a very healthy business, reaping record profits. Then, owners began to cry poor when players started demanding more money. Those teams that were struggling financially had their heads pushed back underwater so that the game could keep going, and no help was offered.
The current state of CBA negotiations between Donald Fehr and the NHLPA and Gary Bettman and the NHL is perhaps less different a problem than we realize: the league has been refusing to help out its poorer teams for decades, and has always tried instead to take the cash out of the players' pockets.
Here is a good summary of today's situation from Robert Boland the Tisch Institute at NYU via the CBC:
The functionality of this dispute really is about owner-to-owner [revenue sharing]. It's that the big market teams are earning revenue at very, very high levels, the Original Six plus Philadelphia and maybe a couple of other very good franchises are doing really, almost record numbers, and some of the other franchises that are in more marginal markets are struggling more just to break even. So the fact that there is revenue growth, that drives the salary cap up, the salary floor up on all the teams, making it tighter on the smaller market teams. So one of the ways we would solve that problem is to share revenue between teams and manage that disparity, but that is very unpopular among owners, generally.
The circumstances around the issue have changed, but disparity between teams has been an issue for at least two decades now, and I'm willing to bet my hat that the wealthier teams get the season going again before the Winter Classic gets cancelled.
Fist to say it is all about the mighty dollar.Not making the game better.

This is why I think they should just have a luxury tax. Smaller market teams are still at a disadvantage. Let the Leafs spend like mad and then pay an insane luxury tax that goes to the poorer teams.
NHL to lock out players if no contract reached by Sept 15th - CBC

I think you have some of your timelines mixed up. At the time of the 1992 strike, the Leafs were not about to make the playoffs and the Lightning weren't in the league yet, and as such were not losing revenue. For the record, also, Lindros' holdout was not for a contract, he simply refused to play for Quebec.

The players should have been prepared to strike this time.

That doesn't help smaller teams be competitive and ends up hurting attendance even more because of the disparity in teams.
See Baseball.
When revenues go up, the league needs to start funneling that money to weaker teams and players, not increasing the cap. What's happening is the stronger teams are ensuring they report awesome profits, which pushes the cap up and ensures the weaker teams are struggling even more to perform. Instead of being able to make a balanced team of low cost players, they now have to pick up failures on overpriced contracts just to be able to play. When the cap floor now is higher than the cap ceiling was at the start of this contract, something is very very wrong, and the answer is not pushing down salary for players, it's achieving better balance for teams and their budgets. The issue with contracts is not so much about greedy players taking money, it's greedy owners trying to find ways around the rules. That's why you have lifetime contracts that have five cheap years tacked on the end. Owners and GMs, not players, are the thing that needs fixing.

IMO, the owners are to fault for this issue. They are moving towards a lockout, but at the same time are offering incredible, ever-increasing contracts to players (insert: Weber, Sutter and Skinner's name). As a fan, I have to wonder to what the H-E-double hockey sticks they are thinking?
Basically, the owners are trying to create a system in which they are protected from themselves. Players value is always going to be high because there is a finite number of excellent players. Teams are going to always push to be a winner, and thus, will offer whatever needs to be done to complete the transaction and create a contender.
I think there should be a salary cap connected to league revenues. There should also be exemptions to the cap so that teams could offer a percentage more then the max contract in order to entice their draft picks that have completed their first contract and restricted FA terms, to stay on with the club. These clubs have made a valuable investment of time and money into their development. Lastly, there should be an extension of the time it takes for players to be Free agents.
Looks like I wont be going to the game on OCt 16 vs. the Kings. Boo-urns, Boo-urns indeed.
Of course the NHL would rather lockout the players now than risk them walking off the job in mid season... By mid season, the negotiating power shifts to the players... There would be at least 16 teams in a playoff position, and with parity, likely another 4 to 6 teams with possible asperations of a playoff spot. Thus, the owners would start to divide.
The Cap system the Owners fought hard for in 2004 actually does work. The NHL has one of the best parity in the world of professional leagues. The Cap is getting circumvented because the haves are tired of parity & want to win & will spend stupidly to do so. Perhaps the negotiations should start with the Owners. Structure the Cap differently. Find a consensus on a mandatory floor that works for the have not teams(so probably lower than what it currently is) Then, create a bonus structure to contracts where the rich Owner can pay a covetted player a bonus up front that isnt part of the salary cap calculation and create a very high tax and ceiling for bonus components in the contracts that can act as the revenue sharing component for the havenots (a luxury tax so to speak). Tighten the RFA rules so that we dont see the Weber scenarios, like offer sheets cant have a bonus component to RFA, only to their players & UFA's. And maybe these very rich individuals and corporations can find it in them to split the riches from this incredible sport 50/50. Surely there are some creative ways to make everyone happy.

The one thing that is stupid about the current cap system is the cap floor. It is not based on percentage but an actual real number. What I mean is that the fact that the floor is always 16 million $ under the cap is stupid and a serious mistake. Maybe, the floor should have been set at 66.3% of the cap. Then the bottom teams would not always have to play catch up (66.3% is just a figure in my head not a something I have researched).

Well I think there does have to be a floor & maybe something along the line of what you suggested can create a bridge. You know, at some point you have to let the leash out a bit on some of these deep pocket owners & let them spend. Find a way to keep as much parity as possible. Bottom line, these owners need to agree on a Cap structure that has all the teams excited about & then I dont think it would be as hard to sell to the players. What was offered to the players so far was a joke.

Agreed a joke and the owners know it.

Just wish us fan could get organized enough to actually make a difference.
WE pay the money in order to enjoy this product, yet most of us have our heads so far up our asses that we can watch our hearts beat.
I admit I'm guilty. I have bought jerseys, tickets, paid online subscriptions and am typically watching HNIC.
I have been a loyal fan for as long as I can remember. This loyalty is rewarded with crybaby millionaire vs crybaby billionaires a couple times per decade.
At the end of the day I dont care about the money...but I expect my seasons to start on time, and end on time every single year. If these current suit wearing D-bags can't figure out how to get this done, then the need to be replaced by people who can.
The league already has revenue sharing they just call it the Pheonix Coyotes!!!!

I heard a comment recently about salary caps in sport that seems to make sense. If the salary cap is too high then a few (more affluent)franchises succeed and the bulk of the franchises struggle. That would represent the current situation in the NHL. If the salary cap is low enough that most of the franchises can be profitable the players dislike it. This may be an opportunity to make more than 7-8 teams in a 30 team league profitable. There has to be a sustainable business model for the league.

Hockey is an emotional game, no different for us fans, and both sides are playing on that right now. When I played in the Ont. Hockey League I knew how close I was to getting drafted, but chose another path. I played for the love of the game, as I did with soccer, or any other sport. My brief point; listening to young players just getting drafted, or their first signing. It is for the luv of the game never listening to the luv of money. I know we all need to make a living, but I ask; what has happened to our game? My buddies and I are so fed up with all the bickering over money, terms, and etc... what about Hockey? We should be at the negotiation table as well, who pays their million salaries, we do! Last summer was filled with sadness, this one is filled with greed.
