The Dream Job Test
Their result for The Dream Job Test ...
The Sherpa
You're 65% career-driven and 55% ambitious. In addition, you play 60% well with others, and you need a job that keeps you in the limelight 33% of the time!
You belong far on top of a mountain, but you're not exactly a hermit. You're capable of helping other people; just not a lot of them, and not all at once. It's hard to find a job that suits your need for company and solitude all at once; find it, and you'll excel at it.
Yours isn't a job for the weak of spirit. It takes a great deal of ambition to get to the top of your field; the weak get weeded out quickly. You're going to have to devote most of your time-- most of your life, really-- to your job. There might not be time for television in the evenings, or soccer games on the weekends, but you're not too concerned about that. I think we both know it's worth it in the end.
Scared of heights? Try one of these (slightly) more realistic options:
Political Strategist, Researcher, Police Officer, Cook (or sous-chef), Tutor, Theatre Director, Gallery Owner, Dive Master, Carpenter.
Does this sound like your job? E-mail me with suggestions.
Also, should you have to be unsatisfied with your results, feel free to peruse any one of the many other categories to see if something appeals to you:

Jeanne Sauvé
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, it was 32 years ago when Jeanne Sauvé took the chair as the 29th Speaker of the House. While she was the 29th Speaker of the Commons, she was a pioneer as the first female to occupy that important position.
For four years Madam Sauvé served Canada with distinction, until, in 1984, her abilities and dedication were further recognized with her appointment as the 23rd Governor General of Canada. Again breaking new ground as the first female to hold the office, Madam Sauvé recognized excellence in education, established numerous national honours for women and created the Governor General's Award for Safety in the Workplace, all while trimming costs and demonstrating the importance of her office.
It has been 32 years since Madam Sauvé first took those pioneering steps, but we remain in her debt. Jeanne Sauvé was inspired by the women who went before her and, by her example, another generation of women can look to her as a beacon of what is really very possible.

Cheryl Gallant Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, clear the track for Canada's next race car driving sensation Nathan Blok.
Nathan, an Ottawa Valley boy from just outside Pembroke, Ontario on the Beachburg Road, was featured recently on Dragon's Den, a Canadian reality television show. Nathan so impressed one of the dragons on the show that he walked away with a significant financial sponsorship, not bad for a boy who is only 17.
That investment in Nathan has demonstrated itself to have been a wise decision. The young lad from the valley is proving himself on the track. Now Nathan has his eyes set on the international racing circuit. While the competition may be fierce, so is Nathan's determination to be the best.
It is my pleasure to extend sincere congratulations to proud parents Steve and Sandra Blok from their son's biggest fans here in the valley. I wish their son Nathan great success as he pursues his dream to be Canada's finest race car driver since Jacques Villeneuve. Go, Nathan, go.
Kraft Hockeyville 2012
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Christine Moore Abitibi—Témiscamingue, QC
Mr. Speaker, in my constituency, in Amos, people are passionate about hockey. These days, my fellow citizens are battling hard in the corners to score the most important goal in the history of this sport in the region: they are campaigning for Amos's bid in the Hockeyville 2012 competition.
Organized by Kraft and the CBC, this contest could enable Amos to receive a small part of the funding necessary to renovate the municipal arena and to host a pre-season National Hockey League game.
Two hundred and twenty-seven communities are participating in this competition, 29 of them in Quebec. It is truly sad for the other 226, but Amos is going to win. Inspired by passion worthy of a first-line centre, our team is heading straight for victory. They almost touch the trophy.
I invite the entire population of the region to receive the pass from the city of Amos and drive to the net with us to stir things up and take a few good shots to the top corner of the net.
Let us encourage the people responsible for this splendid initiative and we will win the game without even going to overtime. Go, Amos, go.
University of Regina Student Union

Randy Hoback Prince Albert, SK
Mr. Speaker, my Saskatchewan Conservative colleagues and I were extremely disappointed to learn of the University of Regina student union's recent one-sided resolution calling on the university to join the boycott, divest and sanction movement against Israel.
The state of Israel as a western liberal democracy is not perfect but considering the human rights abuses now taking place in Israel's neighbour Syria, it is saddening to see the U of R student union's use of alarmist language like "war crimes", "oppression" and "occupation" against Israel. The student union has taken a simplistic and prejudicial view to an issue that deserves a far more mature and balanced approach.
Canada's Conservative government remains committed to a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East through a negotiated two-state solution. That can only be achieved through an agreement negotiated by both sides and not through one-sided rhetoric and finger pointing by outsiders.
I therefore call on University of Regina president Vianne Timmons to do the right thing and condemn this irresponsible resolution.

John Carmichael Don Valley West, ON
Mr. Speaker, earlier this week the Governor General and our government honoured Canada's top researchers in natural sciences and engineering at the 2012 NSERC awards. Nineteen individuals and teams were the winners of seven prestigious prizes for their research that ranges from unlocking codes that control human genetics to using the characteristics of carbohydrates found inside cells in combating disease.
I would like to recognize the winner of NSERC's highest honour, the Gerhard Herzberg Canada Gold Medal for Science and Engineering, which was awarded to W. Richard Peltier. Dr. Peltier has helped pioneer earth system science, a science that studies interactions between the land, atmosphere, water and biosphere as an integrated system.
Our government has invested in science and technology not only to create jobs and economic growth at home, but also to put Canadian ingenuity to work for the world. We will continue to make important investments in science and technology--

Rights of the Child
Statements By Members

Alexandre Boulerice Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, QC
Mr. Speaker, at least 430 children are detained in Canadian prisons every year. These are children of refugees, children of war, children of famine and violence. Yet what are we offering them? A stay in prison with no education and no psychological support. Why? Because an officer felt that their parent could not appear before the authorities or because that parent could not satisfy the officer as to his or her identity. Is this going to improve? Certainly not.
Bill C-31would lengthen prison sentences for refugee claimants who arrive by boat with a so-called smuggler or, worse still, a group designated directly by the minister. And so dozens more children will be languishing in our prisons.
The Canadian Council for Refugees, an organization in Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, maintains that this incarceration is contrary to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the international Convention on the Rights of the Child.
You can be sure that the NDP will be working hard to mobilize public opinion to ensure that Mr. Harper's new prison cells never become filled with dozens of children—

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the authoritarian regime in Belarus forced the European Union head of delegation and the Polish ambassador to leave the country. In an expression of solidarity, all EU countries responded by withdrawing their own ambassadors and tightening sanctions against the brutal Lukashenka regime. Canada applauds their united stand against tyranny.
Under our Conservative government, Canada has steadfastly stood up for the rights and freedom of the citizens of Belarus. We have condemned the recent fraudulent presidential elections and the ongoing oppression of political dissidents. We have also acted in support of democracy-promotion projects by funding the work of free media such as Belsat which provides independent television programming to the people of Belarus. Yesterday the German foreign minister appropriately called Belarus Europe's last dictatorship. I am proud that Canada will continue to stand up with our European allies in their efforts to bring freedom and democracy to Belarus.

Manon Perreault Montcalm, QC
Mr. Speaker, this week I had the honour of meeting with the regional president and four local presidents of the Association féminine d'éducation et d'action sociale in the riding of Montcalm. These women initiate individual and collective analyses relating to the rights and responsibilities of women and engage in activities to promote social change. These women are protecting their hard-won gains and standing up for women and families.
They want to be clear that they practice a social egalitarian feminism whose goal is equal status, freedom of choice and autonomy, to overcome the persistent inequalities in our society. They are calling on all of us in this House to help them, to amend all the legislation that keeps inequality between men and women alive.
These women maintain that every individual plays an important role in society and that enhancing equality between men and women should be made a true societal goal, so that no one is left behind. Let us work together to create a Canada that is more just and more egalitarian.

March 1st, 2012 / 2:10 p.m.
Greg Rickford Kenora, ON
Mr. Speaker, improving the water quality on reserve is a top shared priority for our government and first nations leadership across the country.
Since 2006, we have made significant investments in water and waste-water infrastructure and in improving capacity for reporting, monitoring and maintenance of water infrastructure on reserve. However, as the recent independent national assessment showed, adequate legislative protection is essential to the effective monitoring of water quality on reserve.
That is why I am happy to point out that our government is taking concrete action to protect the first nations' drinking water, by introducing the safe drinking water for first nations bill in the other house.
This legislation represents a vital step toward ensuring that first nations have the same access to safe drinking water as the rest of Canada. This new bill is the product of hard work, collaboration and partnership by all stakeholders. I want to applaud the Alberta Assembly of Treaty Chiefs and the Atlantic Policy Congress for their leadership on this issue.

Carolyn Bennett St. Paul's, ON
Mr. Speaker, on the eve of a visit to Canada by Israel's prime minister, I would like to acknowledge the important work of the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto in partnering with IsraAID, an Israeli humanitarian organization, to help South Sudan fight violence against women.
A group of Israeli experts is travelling to South Sudan today to conduct the first gender-based violence training program for social workers in the world's newest country. The workshop will provide social workers in the Juba region with intensive training on the delivery of social work, gender-based violence and post-trauma assistance in a country where sexual abuse and other forms of gender-based violence continue to put women and girls at risk. The program is funded primarily by the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto and, by extension, charitable donations from Toronto's Jewish community. It is an example of the close level of co-operation between Canadians and Israelis on important global issues. I applaud the UJA and IsraAID for this important contribution to nation building and—

Mr. Speaker, in the last several days the NDP and the Liberals have launched smears against dozens of Conservative MPs and candidates, alleging misleading phone calls in the last election. They do not have any information on which to base their malicious attacks. It is obvious that the Conservative Party of Canada was not involved with the alleged calls in Guelph. If something improper did occur, we expect that those responsible will be held to account.
The Conservative Party of Canada is co-operating with Elections Canada in every respect. The Conservative Party of Canada categorically denies any involvement in any deliberately misleading calls. These are baseless smears brought by sore losers who are unwilling to accept that they lost the election. If the Liberals and the NDP have any information at all, I would ask that they bring it forward to Elections Canada so it can—

By ROB MROWKA
The Center for Biological Diversity submitted a protest of water right applications filed by the Kane County Water Conservancy that would be used to facilitate the development of a nuclear power plant at Green River. The center's protest, filed with the Utah State Engineer, raises concerns about the lack of information provided to the public about the use of 29,600 acre-feet of water, and how the water diversion will be consistent with the need to protect river flows and habitat conditions critical for the survival of imperiled plants and animals in the vicinity of the power plant's footprint, including endangered fish.
The water conservancy filed the application on behalf of the Transition Power Development, pursuant to a water rights lease agreement between the entities. The power company intends to construct the Blue Castle Project nuclear power plant just outside of the town of Green River. Nuclear power plants require immense amounts of water for cooling the reactor and buildings and for emergencies. It is believed this plant will use more than 1.1 million gallons of water per minute for once-through cooling.
The Green and Colorado rivers are critical for the survival of the Colorado pikeminnow, humpback chub, bonytail and razorback sucker, all listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act - the highest level of imperilment. The water application provides sparse details about the design and features of the proposed plant. We know from experiences at other such plants that the voluminous water intakes trap and kill fish and other aquatic life. And, the intake of such large quantities of water plus the subsequent discharge of heated water can further harm those species and habitats.
Other species will also potentially be hurt, including the roundtail chub, blueheaded sucker and flannelmouth sucker, all of which are critically imperiled and receiving special management under conservation agreements between the state and federal governments in order to preclude the need to list them under the Endangered Species Act.
At the site of the proposed nuclear power plant and cooling pond, three extremely rare plant species are found: the San Rafael cactus, Maguire's daisy, and Jones's cycladenia. All are protected under the Endangered Species Act. The needs of federally and state protected wildlife and plant species and the maintenance of the natural conditions of their habitats imposes a significant beneficial use that is required to be protected under Utah code.

BLM-Alaska Campground Icons Retire
This year, Jim and Cathy declared it would be their last season here. They had achieved several goals and were ready to try something new. Ironically, this last year proved to be one of their most interesting and challenging. It started when Alaska refused to thaw in May and then temperatures suddenly jumped upwards of 70 degrees. Paxson Lake and the Gulkana River went into a record flood stage.
The campground boat launch area went completely under ice and water. A picnic table was deposited 12 feet up in a tree, interpretive panels stands were mowed over and Sourdough Creek threatened the access bridge to the campground. At Paxson Campground culverts were washed-out, preventing access to the second camping loop. It was the first time in the history of the campgrounds that they were closed for Memorial Day weekend. Jim and Cathy helped to tackle all of these challenges with their normal tenacity, despite this being their last year here.
On September 17, 2013, Cathy and Jim hung up their BLM-GFO hats and were recognized by their friends and coworkers. "It's the end of an era," lamented BLM GFO Outdoor Recreation Planner and Volunteer Host Coordinator, Marcia Butorac. "Your work ethic, enthusiasm, quality customer service, and commitment to excellence right to the last day cannot be duplicated." Cathy and Jim thanked everyone and replied, "We'll miss you guys, but it's just time to do something different. We'll be back," but then quickly added, "at least to say hello."
BLM-Alaska welcomes applications for volunteer campground hosts. Visit this BLM website to learn more: www.blm.gov/ak/st/en/fo/gdo/Volunteer_Campground_Host.html

BT is buying ESPN's sports television channels in the UK and Ireland as part of its challenge to BSkyB in the pay-TV market.
The deal, said by sources to be worth "in the low tens of millions", includes live rights to the FA Cup, Scottish Premier League, Europa League, Bundesliga and US sports such as American football, college basketball and Nascar motor racing.
BT will assume the rights from July 31 and will continue to operate at least one ESPN-branded channel as part of its BT Sport package, which will launch in the summer with the Premier League at its

November friends! This weekend, I travel up to San Francisco to play at Harlot alongside our favorite lady DJ, Anna Lunoe. To get the festivities started, we bring you to our second edition of the not-so-serious GDD Quick-hitter interview. Instead of the textbook bullroar, we asked Anna (5) questions on the lighter side, giving you a down-to-earth response from the climbing aussie DJ and producer… just for the jokes.
GDD: What was the first dance/electronic song you heard growing up?
AL: Underworld "Born Slippy" is a song that I remember getting very strong feelings for at a really young age. I had probably heard some early nineties pop house like Rhythm of the NIght etc before that but I remember the chords of Born Slippy really pulling me in and then the drop was so straight tough – made me appreciate the magic of repetitive loud music. A great life lesson.
GDD: Before producing/DJing what did you see yourself doing/becoming?
AL: I wanted to interview musicians on the radio and tv. Classic shadow creative move.
GDD: Most embarrassing moment at a gig you played?
AL: I cant think of anything major but thats not to say it hasnt happened. I probably just blocked it out… CDs stopping and stuff like that isn't even embarrassing to me so It would need to be somekind of fall or something but (knock on wood) It hasn't happened yet….
GDD: If you could go b2b with any celebrity who would it be?
AL: It's a toss up between Beyonce, Rajon Rondo and Paul Rudd.

Billy Mills, 1964 Olympic Gold Medalist addressed a capacity audience, sharing his life story and observations about how America and the world's diversity can be a force, not to drive us apart, but to bring us together.

There are those in this world that are demon-possessed, but there are so many more who are demon-influenced. This book is written for the servants of God, believers as well as non-believers who want to know whether they carry the symptoms of the demon-influenced. It is high time that we come out of it as we are living in the end times.

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said his visit Monday to the military's sexual assault hotline sends this message: No single issue has a higher priority at the Pentagon.
Solving the crisis, he said, will require sustained attention and changes "wide and deep" within the military. Hagel noted that he meets weekly for an hour with top civilian and military leaders of the services to discuss the problem and how to combat it.
"It is important for people to know that the secretary of Defense is very focused on stopping sexual assault in the military," Hagel said.
Hagel spent more than an hour with the staff of the Safe Helpline, the Pentagon's confidential portal for troops who have been sexually assaulted. Its counselors chat by phone or Web with victims, referring them to military or civilian authorities to make complaints and to medical and mental health professionals.
The Pentagon pays the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network $2.76 million per year to run the service. Since 2011, its counselors have advised more than 22,000 servicemembers and their families. By design, the website and outreach brochures downplay their connection to the Pentagon. The intent is to encourage victims to seek help and allay their concern that reporting an assault will be signaled to colleagues and superiors within the ranks.
Hagel and the Pentagon have been under fire from Capitol Hill and victims' advocates over the past year to address the military's sexual assault crisis. Last May, the Pentagon's estimates showed a 35% spike from 2010 to 2012 in instances of "unwanted sexual contact," which ranges from groping to rape. Congress forced the military to change the way it handles cases, denying commanders the authority to toss out convictions and shielding victims from probing questions at initial hearings.
Erasing the stigma on victims of sexual assault and winning their trust to lodge complaints and seek help are key issues for the Pentagon, Hagel said.
Monday, hotline staffers briefed Hagel on their round-the-clock operations. Increasingly, troops seek help online. Victims tend to be younger, Jennifer Marsh, a network official, told Hagel, and they're more comfortable sharing their stories online than by phone.
Hagel quizzed several staffers on their backgrounds and encouraged them to care for themselves as well as victims. One chatted quietly by phone with a caller, while another handled a Web chat.
"This is not a job for everybody," he said. "They hear some pretty rough stories."
Hagel lingered for several moments before a board holding Post-it notes with brief quotes from victims assisted by counselors. One such message read, "All you did was save my life tonight."
That's proof, he told the counselors, that they make a difference.
"Powerful stuff," he said.

My Hair Feels Like It Did When I Was In My 20's.As any women over 40 or getting close can tell you weird stuff starts to happen, can't see up close, can't lose weight, acne and finally frizzy hair. I'm not sure when it happened my natural color turned to dishwater blond and my natural curls have turned to frizz. So I went to my wonderful and really expensive hair dresser to have the usual cut and color and when she went to wash my hair she said that they just got a new shampoo and conditioner and that is smelled great. So she wash's and boy is she right it smelled incredible but then she put the conditioner in and ran it through my hair and within one minuet she could run her fingers through it with no problem, I was amazed. So she styled as usual and of course it looked great but that only last's one day and would go back to frizzy and unmanageable. So she gave me samples of the super smooth shampoo and cond. When I used the products on my hair at home and was amazed again that it smelled great but was so smooth and tangle free, my hair is long and very fine so is also easily weighted down and tangled but now it is soooo easy to style I cant believe my hair feels this good after a color and after blow drying. This product is worth the money, I cant wait to wash my hair and blow dry.....wow cant believe I just said that!Mar 26, 2012Jenifer N.HAIR TYPEBlonde / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

The Single Best Conditioner I've Ever Used.I have hair prone to frizz that's been chemically treated and over-ironed for years. I iron my hair 2 times or more a week, and when I attempt to wear it curly it's always unruly. After trying It's a Ten, Cibu, Mixed Chicks, and countless other conditioners, I've finally found what works: Pureology Supersmooth. I've also tried Pureology Hydration, which honestly was not as effective. When I straighten my hair after using this product it feels silky and healthy; when I wear it curly the frizz is minimal. I'm also half African-American, and even though Pureology doesn't usually market their products for black hair, I encourage women of color to try it!Dec 25, 2011Nicole J. / VirginiaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Relaxed Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
The Municipal Building Authority of Emery County is comprised of Commissioners Gary Kofford, Jeff Horrocks and Drew Sitterud, along with two community members Randy Jensen and Sharon Jensen. At its October meeting, the MBA awarded two bids for the Huntington Airport renovation project.
The bids had been opened in commission meeting earlier in the day, and Craig Johansen of Johansen and Tuttle Engineering, prepared the detailed abstracts of the bids for the MBA to consider. In the abstracts, each portion of the project and the materials needed to complete the project, were listed with a unit price attached.
This phase of the Huntington Airport project included two separate projects. The first is the utility improvement project and the next is the hangar erection project.
For the hangar erection project, two bids were received, from Stilson Construction of Orangeville and Kay General Contracting from Payson. The breakdown in the abstract showed a difference of $4,935 between the bids. Johansen's recommendation was to accept the low bidder for this project, which was Stilson Construction with a bid of $414,202. The MBA approved to award the bid for the hangar erection to Stilson Construction.
For the utility improvement project, three bids were received, from Precision Excavating of St. George, George W. Johansen Construction of Ephraim, and Oliver Excavation from Evanston, Wyo. Johansen again recommended the bid be awarded to the lowest bidder which was Precision Excavating. The MBA approved the award. Precision's bid was nearly $80,000 under the high bidder.
The combined total for these projects for the Huntington Airport improvement is $593,073.50. This phase of the Huntington Airport improvement project is a continuation of work being done at the facility. As funding provides, more projects are expected to be undertaken.
In other business conducted by the MBA, a certificate of substantial completion was signed for the Green River Senior Center project. Approval was also given for a service contract with Rocky Mountain power for the Children's Justice Center in Castle Dale.
The MBA discussed future projects with the intent of formulating a list to be submitted to the Permanent Community Impact Fund Board. Projects on that list are: Emery Care and Rehab Center improvement; fire trucks; a building for the Emery County Food Bank; landscaping at the pool; completion of the airport improvements; a building for Search and Rescue; a building for the weed and mosquito department; funding for communications improvements; a kitchen for the Huntington Senior Center; a visitor center kiosk; and improvements at the Museum of the San Rafael. Each of these projects was given a rating of its priority and immediate need. The list will now be submitted to the PCIFB.
Due to a conflict with the November meeting date and election day, the November meeting for the MBA will be held Nov. 5 at 10 a.m. in the commission chambers.

Skip to comments.'Stubborn' fever that kept George H.W. Bush, 88, in the hospital over Christmas
Posted on 12/26/2012 10:02:17 PM PST by MinorityRepublicanEdited on 12/27/2012 12:39:24 PM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
click here to read article
George H.W. Bush as the youngest pilot in the Navy during WW2.
He was a genuine badass in his youth, and he's still a tough old bird. Get well soon, sir.
I'm betting he has already passed on but we won't hear about it until the MSM wants us to hear.
There has to be more problems than his fever. FUO -fevers of unknown origin- maybe drug fevers and I'm sure that's been considered. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20030474
Under Obamacare he'd have been euthanized already.
Should've ate his broccoli...
I hope for the best for him. I am almost guessing that he picked this up while in the hospital.
I am home from work running a fever of 101.5 since last night. Another friend was out of work 5 days last week. I think something is going around.
I fully expect that the Fedgov under Obama will try to take away everyone's guns this year, but failing that, I would not be surprised if they release some nasty bugs into the general population. Yes, they are that blood-thristy.
"George H.W. Bush as the youngest pilot in the Navy during WW2."
Yes, but did he ever do any community organizing?
It's crazy to think there is a MSM conspiracy to withhold information on Bush Sr. He's almost 90 years old. Old men get ill and eventually pass on. I hope he gets better and lives another 10-20 years but the hourglass eventually runs out on all of us.
I heard the term on radio late night as GUARDED, moved to intensive care
Lord be with him
Good call!
I believe you are most likely correct in your assumption. People his age are prone to an infection of the digestive track called "C-Diff"(Clostridium difficile) which is often contracted from a previous stay in the hospital, although a small portion of the population has this bacterium naturally present in their colon.
C-Diff is difficult to eradicate in older people because of arterial stenosis and other vascular conditions common to the elderly that lessen blood flow to certain areas and compromises their ability to fight off infection and, in general, heal. C-Diff in the very old and very infirmed is often fatal.
Wikipedia says:
Clostridium difficile (pronunciation below) (from the Greek kloster (κλÏÏÏήÏ), spindle, and Latin difficile,[1] difficult), also known as "CDF/cdf", or "C. diff", is a species of Gram-positive bacteria of the genus Clostridium that causes severe diarrhea and other intestinal disease when competing bacteria in the gut flora have been wiped out by antibiotics.
He's probably septic.
I pray we won't soon be finding out what Obama was the youngest at...
Especially at Methodist. It isn't what it's cracked up to be, although I'm sure GB is getting better care than the average patient would.
Agreed. I'm hoping that he gets better but like you said, all of our days are numbered. No one lives forever on Earth.
It will be announced by a hospital spokesperson and the information would have gotten out even when there was a complete MSM monopoly on the news. At least HW had made it clear a strong desire to go before Barbara...
So sorry to hear about this, I hope he keeps going for a while longer. I love to see the family, no matter what everyone says.
Its crazy to think there is a MSM conspiracy to withhold information on Bush Sr.
Does Benghazi ring a bell?
I agree with you. And that was so well said.
That is not true and I have no idea why you would say that. When he passes, we will hear from the family.
And that is not true either. Good grief. I am going to go outside to find a stick to stick in my eye to relieve me of this pain. Why would you SAY that???? Good grief....
He does not want your guns...or mine. I am going to get off this thread. What the heck is going on?
And...I hope you are feeling better.
See Post #12
I read it...........................
All that talk about poking a stick in your eye made me dyslexic. See Post #21.
LOL....we make a good pair. Okay ..I read it. But, the journalists and reporters are telling us what the doctors are telling them. Granted, alot of info is not being given but I believe that is at the direction of the Bush family. And I do apologize for the stick comment. I did show great restraint.I was going to say....I am going to put my lit cigarette out in my eyeball. I am so glad I did not publish That one, JouleZ!
The docs can't talk to the media about his condition. HIPPA. The media can only report what the Bush Family approves and IF he passed already they may be taking their time for State Burial arrangements and the protocols etc.
This evening Stormin' Norman passed so I may be right after all. The family wouldn't want to share his Date of Death with another famous person. Just speculating.
Now, I'm going to smoke a cigarette with my glasses on for safety purposes. LOL
Good one! -—lol
Hope for the best for our dear former president...
LOL! Too funny. If President Bush should pass away tonight, I do believe it will be announced.
But he may have already passed on and Gen. Swartzkopf messed up the announcement. And IF he should pass on to heaven tonight...I say it won't be announced until after midnight!
We are now fully into the macabre Dead Pool and I apologize for that. I need another smoke...it's been a pleasure DallasSun.
FReepmail me your address and phone number. I'll send the police and a psych team. Your cry for help won't go unanswered.
That's a common occurrence unfortunately. But, the medical community is well aware of this problem.
Moving him to Intensive Care does not necessarily mean they are out of options. They are monitoring him closely.
If he's got some sort of resistant bacterial infection-they are probably going to want to use various different meds/combinations of meds to try and knock it out. All meds have side effects so the person needs to be watched closely for this reason too.
Prayers being said for president George H.W.Bush for a speedy recovery and for more time here on earth to be with his family, or, if his time is done here- for a peaceful transition home to the house of our Lord Jesus Christ, and comfort for his family- Amen
I'm younger than President Bush, but I have been going through that coughing, coughing, coughing since the week before Thanksgiving and I still have to take medicine to help relieve me from the incessant coughing.
Two trips to Emergency Clinic. Prescriptions written. Diagnosed with Viral Bronchitis/Acute Bronchitis.
Recommended trip to pulmonary doctor who confirmed acute bronchitis and with medications prescribed at emergency correct.
I need to return Jan. 9th for observation to pulmonary physician. If it becomes sufficiently worse, I need to make earlier appt. asap.
I had some elevation in fever/blood pressure but not like Mr. Bush is dealing with.
His situation is much more serious because of his age but I'm hopeful because he is in Methodist Hospital at the Medical Center in Houston.
I haven't been this sick in a long, long time.
My prayers for Mr. Bush and for his family - they have got to be extremely worried about his condition.
I did not know he was the youngest pilot in the Navy during WW2.
Not surprising...a patriot even in his younger days.
In that picture I can see the resemblance to George W. Another handsome fella' IMHO!
I agree. Not seen so many people this sick in a while.
Yes, Obama most assuredly does want his guns, yours, and mine.
That is really crass and has no place in a discussion such as this. Wish the man well and save the politics for the political threads.
It's that time of year. There is definitely something going around here in Massachusetts. So far, my husband and I have escaped it, but that may not last, even though Mr. T did have a flu shot earlier this month, as he usually does. The shot seems to help, but it's not bullet-proof.
FR IS a political forum and if you don't like what I wrote ignore it instead of barking out orders like you're the Queen of England or Obama.
He cannot have them, Laz. Please take comfort in knowing, should he decide he is going to confiscate guns, sooner or later, he will have to come to Texas. We got your back, Laz. Not gonna happen. And you have a wonderful New Years.
How many fingers am I holding up? And the pleasure was all mine.
Get well Mr. President, sir. You are one tough old cat. :)=^..^=
The communists/democrats have to get through us in Louisiana also
Let them come and try to take them or to get me
I don't know...I'm blind from a stick in one eye and a hot cigarette in the other.
rofl....I shall post to you in braille. I am SO sorry.

Bieber's DUI arrest in Florida latest sign of trouble
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — When he debuted five years ago, Justin Bieber was a mop-haired heartthrob, clean cut and charming. But a series of troubling incidents have put his innocent image at risk, and none more so than his arrest on DUI charges Thursday.
Police say they arrested a bleary-eyed Bieber — smelling of alcohol — after officers saw him drag-racing before dawn on a palm-lined residential street, his yellow Lamborghini traveling at nearly twice the speed limit.
The 19-year-old singer later admitted smoking marijuana, drinking and taking a prescription medication, police say. Unlike previous episodes, this arrest has him facing potential jail time.
Bieber was charged with DUI, driving with an expired license and resisting arrest without violence. His Miami-Dade County jail mug shot showed the singer smiling in a bright red inmate jumpsuit, his hair still stylishly coiffed.
He was arrested with R&B singer Khalil Amir Sharieff, after police say they raced two luxury vehicles down the street at 4:09 a.m., with two other vehicles apparently being used to block off the area.
Police Chief Ray Martinez said the singer was initially not cooperative when the officer pulled him over. Martinez said the singer also had an expired Georgia driver's license.
Police said Bieber was driving the Lamborghini and Sharieff was driving a Ferrari. Both cars were towed. Police say Bieber was clocked at 55 to 60 mph in a 30 mph zone near a high school, youth center, golf course, city firehouse and small apartment buildings.
According to the arrest report, Bieber "had slow deliberate movements" and appeared to be in a stupor when the officer ordered him to exit his vehicle. Bieber was arrested after repeatedly refusing to put his hands on his vehicle so the officer could pat him down to look for weapons, the report said. It says he cursed several times at the officer and demanded to know why he was being arrested.
Bieber failed a field sobriety test and was taken to the Miami Beach police station for a Breathalyzer, police said. Results haven't been released.
"I think this case will proceed hopefully as any other case would proceed," said Bieber's attorney, Roy Black, whose other celebrity clients have included Rush Limbaugh and William Kennedy Smith.
Under Florida law, people younger than 21 are considered driving under the influence if they have a blood-alcohol content of 0.02 percent or more — a level the 5-foot-9, 140-pound star could reach with one drink.
For a first DUI offense, there is no minimum jail sentence and a maximum of six months, a fine of $250 to $500, and 50 hours of community service. For anyone younger than 21, there is an automatic six-month license suspension.
A Miami-Dade County judge set Bieber's bond at $2,500 on Thursday afternoon. Sharieff's bond was set at $1,000 for a DUI charge.
Bieber left jail about an hour after court, popping through a window of his black SUV in a black hoodie and sunglasses to wave to crowds of reporters and young girls waiting to see him.

PROVIDENCE – In downtown Providence, Empire and Weybosset streets will become two-way on Jan. 10 before the morning commute.
Weybosset will be two-way from Empire Street to Dorrance Street. Empire Street will be two-way between Fountain Street and Weybosset Street; the parking spaces on Empire will be changed from diagonal to parallel on the east side of the street.
Both streets were two-way until the 1970s. The re-configuration is being done through the Downtown Providence Traffic Circulation Improvements Phase II in an effort to relieve traffic congestion.

We're looking forward to new phase of Xsyon. See you in game!

humm cant create tribes..
I dont think you can start building anything unless you claim the land as a tribe.. so basically you have to join an established tribe and ask if its ok for you to build on their land even tho you add nothing to their tribe size..
so you can walk around and harvest stuff
still it at lerast gives someone an idea of what the game will be like..
I encourage anyone that is a sandbox fan to try this game out. In my opinion, this game is a great example of some of the best and worst of sandbox MMO design. There's plenty to love, some to be frustrated by, and a good bit to hate but there is certainly a good bit there to play around with.
At the price of FREE there's no excuse not to give this a try just to see what it's all about.

I have premied this game and played on two separate occassions. It is a great sandbox village builder at the moment, but not much more than that. The last time I played, about two months ago, the game still lacked core game features, especially in the area of trade and commerce. There is no ingame currency standard. Also, there are no trader or merchant NPCs. There is no mail system. This means all trade is done player to player, with both having to meet face to face to trade on whatever terms agreed upon. Some like that, but I think a mailbox system, player owned NPC merchants and a standard currency is a must for this game to move forward. So as i see it, it's a fantastic village building game - no doubt about it. But that's really about all it is at this point. The restrictions listed on the free to play link are just ridiculous. Being a village building game, free to play players will not be able to build anything - so why invite them? They will just exist in the world and must join some existing village. In my humble opinion, the kickstarter (set with an outragous goal that will never be reached) coupled with lame attempts to build the playerbase (weekly scrub of test server BUT FREE, free to play on live server BUT NOT TO BUILD) is just another example of game developers who are out of touch with reality. Don't bother telling people they can play for free and then kick them in the stomach. And don't get greedy with the Kickstarter. Better to aim low and exceed expectation than to aim too high and completely fail.
I understand what you're saying but this game is suppose to be the very start of re-building civilization. If it were "The Postman Online" like the movie then yes. (actually The Postman world would make a good MMO ..i guess..lol)
In my opinion there should be no NPC vendors or mail system. That should be created by the playerbase. Maybe one player could be the Postman or a tribe dedicated to carrying communications through the harsh setting. Then maybe individual and tribes of merchants that set up the market economy. Likely it would be a barter economy until eventually a common currency would develop..maybe those useless bottle caps lol.
This is all hard..I know..until a decent population forms.
Not a good sign, I began patching the client which is 2 gb ... it got about 75% done and I closed the window on accident and when I re-launched the client it started the download over again from the beginning
I take that back, after closer inspection it seems the download bar started over but the size of the download now shows a smaller size. Its an odd way of handling a resume but I'll take it.

The wonderful thing about the free trial is that it was in response to feedback provided. If you think that 30 is too low, submit feedback It's the best way to accomplish something... I'd also post it on the xsyon forums as I'm sure there's more likely hood that it'll be read by someone important there.

The only purpose levels serve is to get free skill points to assign to skills. So this means you don't get those. No big deal. Leveling serves no other purpose... it used to increase your HP. No more

that's a lot of the game that's pay-to-play still, then...whew. 70%.
• Released and sold two years ago
• Kickstarter two years later

I am a Wurm player and have never hidden that fact. However, I also try other games as any good sandboxer would. My comments about Xsyon come from my own personal experience. Hey, I purchased Xsyon. I payed for two months of premium time, and I joined a village and tried to make a go of it. The facts of my statements are verifyable and in no way are meant to demote one game to promote another. Truth be told, when I first found Xsyon, I posted on the Wurm forums Woodscrap about it. I was excited because I saw potential. I still see potential. I wish the game all success, I really do. But as long as the Xsyon developers insist on leaving out core game features needed by every sandbox game, Xsyon will only ever have a tiny playerbase.

The Emery County Business Chamber hosted their first economic summit on Sept. 21. The event began with a breakfast and speaker. Tom Retson from Blue Castle Holdings spoke about the proposed nuclear power plant in Green River. After breakfast two breakout workshops were held, Ken Fakler from Fakler Tires presented along with Chris Redgrave from Zion's Bank. After the morning speakers the group traveled to the Millsite Golf Course where they had lunch and listened to David Williams from the Utah Office of Tourism and a speaker from the Utah Film Commission. David Wilkey from Sand Hollow Golf Course rounded out the speakers for the day. After the summit, a golfing event was held where golfers tried out the recently opened back nine holes at Millsite Golf Course.
The Zions Bank workshop included: Chris Redgrave, Zions Bank's Senior Vice President over Public Relations and Ryan Evans, Zions Bank's Vice President for Business and Community relations gave a very positive outlook concerning Utah's economic future during their presentation. Redgrave stated with the support of the Salt Lake Chamber, Bonneville Radio Group, and Zions Bank, they have an initiative going on now. "We are doing radio spots, we are handing out "Utah On The Move" brochures and we are focusing on all of the positive things going on in Utah. There is a lot of information being fed into this initiative in support of our business community. We are really focused on all of the good things going well in Utah."
Ryan Evans said, "I am also a loan executive with the Utah State Chamber of Commerce. I work with Chambers of Commerce throughout the state of Utah. There are a lot of opportunities for business growth in Utah."
Chris Redgrave and Evans teamed up to make the presentation for Zions Bank's portion of the Economic Business Summit. First they discussed the Utah economy and how it continues to build a foundation for continued economic growth. Forbes Magazine named Utah the best state for business and careers brought about by the vision and planning of current and past governors, such as Gov. Jon Huntsman focusing on Economic Development in Utah. As a result many well known companies have moved here from other states and hired Utah employees.
Doing business in Utah is easier because Utah has the lowest utility prices in the nation, Utah has a good transportation system for moving goods and services into and out of the state, a well educated work force and the state is pro-business. Salt Lake City is among 15 of the best cities to do business globally with direct flights to and from Paris and Tokyo.
The Downtown Rising a $3 billion project is the largest in the nation. Included in this project is City Creek, and 222 South Main the first LEED Guild certified high rise in Salt Lake City. Five new high rises for downtown living with an expectation of 10,000 full time residents. The 367,188 square foot Frank E. Moss Courthouse with 14 courtrooms should be completed this year. Some of these projects will be completed in 2012 others will be complete this year. These projects require a large work force, however we still have 121,000 Utah workers that are out of a job now and that is unacceptable.
Transportation in Utah is constantly improving. There have been 70 miles of rail track laid in seven years, four new TRAX lines and light rail from downtown to the airport. Front Runner from Salt Lake City to Provo and 4.2 billion dollars has been spent on Utah highways in four years. Airline companies carried 21,016,686 passengers in and out of Salt Lake City in 2010. It is exciting to have the recently added direct flights to Paris and Tokyo.
When it comes to Technology, Utah is home to 6,800 Technology Companies. The Economic Development Corporation of Utah, with Jeff Edwards as President and CEO, has been assigned the job of bringing business into Utah and help retain businesses that are here. There are people in New York and Los Angeles who want to buy many of the technology companies and move them to their state. If that happens we lose business. The EDCU fights to keep companies in Utah and to bring companies here. Last year 20 companies came to Utah and put 6,700 people to work. These companies like the labor market here. The people of Utah are educated and hard workers.
The Utah Science Technology and Research initiative is fueling about 100 new technologies at 10 higher education institutions. The University of Utah is ranked number 1 in the nation in start-up companies. These research teams are making international breakthroughs in energy, nano-technology, digital imaging, biomedical devices and neuroscience.
The technology sector has more than 5,200 companies in the state of Utah involved with the technology industry. Tech companies actually pay 58 percent higher wages on average than the normal wage in Utah. Some of those companies are Twitter, Overstock.com, Ebay and EA Sports. California has started to realize that they are losing tech companies to Utah.
Proctor and Gamble recently opened their first US facility in Brigham City. They promised to hire a set number of employees over a period of years. They have since scaled that number back, because of how productive and efficient our Utah workers are.
Boeing has installed a plant here because of the workers in Utah. We are so fortunate to have the kind of people that make up Utah. Our people are a big economic attractor for the state of Utah.
We have had 15 consecutive months of job growth in Utah or 15,000 jobs created over the year before. Utah is growing at a 2.5 percent job growth while the federal government is growing at 1 percent. Utah's job growth is very positive.
Tourism is a big industry in the State of Utah because of the jobs they create.
Travelers spend more than $6 billion in Utah yearly. It has been estimated that 19.4 million tourism visits are made to Utah each year. For every dollar invested in advertising tourism in 2010, the average return on that investment was $16. Utah's 14 ski resorts enjoyed 4.2 million skier days during the 2010-2011 season. This was the second busiest ski season in state history. In 2010 4.8 million people visited Utah's 43 state parks. In 2010, 9.3 million visits were made to Utah's national parks and recreation areas.
When one industry goes down in Utah another can step in and offset that downturn by having growth. Technology is big in Utah, also energy, mining, agriculture, tourism, movie making and aerospace. The diversity in the Utah economy helps keep the economy growing.
Utah is the only state in the union to have five consecutive years of export growth. Last year Utah was the only state that grew in exports. More than 200,000 Utah jobs are tied to exporting. Eighty five percent of all Utah exports come from small businesses. We doubled our exports in five years and we are on track to do that again. We have a global economy to sell to which is a great advantage for Utah businesses.
We are exporting ore and minerals to China, the exporting of alfalfa and hay is big. Utah pharmaceuticals are also big in the export arena with a market worldwide. The mining industry is still the number one exporter, especially coal. Industries that will grow in Utah in the next few years are health care, financial services, tourism and entertainment. Rural Utah businesses are growing by looking for new opportunities outside of their town, county, state or country to sell their goods and services. There are programs available to help rural businesses find the right resources, find the right information to expand and become successful companies that actually hire rural Utah citizens. A good source for more information is the Economic Development Corporation of Utah, 201 South Main Street, Suite 2150, Salt Lake City, UT 84111 1-800-574-8824 801-328-8824. Redgrave and Evans ended their program by reminding everyone that there are a lot of good things going on in Utah.

Another break-in occurred in Huntington on Feb. 7 or 8. It is estimated the break-in happened sometime Sunday night to early Monday morning. It was reported by B&Ks Stop and Shop employees at 4:27 a.m. when they arrived to open the store. A window was broken at the business, but the suspects entered the building through the back of the store where they removed the swamp cooler from the wall and entered the store.
A large amount of money was taken from the store. Two money bags were recovered. One bag, which had money inside, was dropped outside the window as the thieves made their getaway. Another bag was recovered just north of Huntington on SR-10 near the airport. This bag was just off the highway and contained some receipts and a small amount of cash.
"We have a person or persons of interest in the case," said Det. Sgt. Robert Blackburn of the Emery County Sheriffs Department. "It was reported by an employee just opening the store. The exact time of the burglary isn't known, but the previous evening employees left the store around 11:20 p.m. So (the break-in must have occurred) between then and 4 a.m. The case is being investigated. We believe there is a connection to the two break-ins in the county last week. We are busy interviewing anyone who might have information about this break-in at BKs or the one at Country Corner and Cindi's restaurant."
The detective asked that anyone with information regarding the burglaries should call the Emery County sheriff's office at 381-2404, and indicated that callers may remain anonymous.
There is a $500 reward being offered for information on the first two break-ins and a $1,000 reward for information concerning the BKs break-in.

IRVING, Texas — Since becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy, Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel has been more celebrity than college football player.
The 20-year-old read the "Top 10" list on The Late Show with David Letterman. He made an appearance on the Tonight show with Jay Leno. He even played golf with the Jonas Brothers.
And in the lead-up to Friday's Cotton Bowl against Oklahoma (Fox, 8 p.m. ET) in Arlington, Texas, he has been the undisputed dominant story line: What will "Johnny Football" do for an encore? Specific matchups in one of more attractive bowl games of the season have become subplots.
COTTON BOWL: Previewing Friday's matchup
"The talk is getting old, and I am sure it is getting old for him, too," Oklahoma linebacker Tom Wort said. "I think we all want to get to the game and stop all the talk. I am ready for it and I am sure he is ready for that, too."
AFTER HEISMAN: How winners have fared in bowl games
All week, Oklahoma players and coaches have been respectful when discussing Manziel's dual-threat ability. An athletic Sooners defense believes it will have the opportunity to rattle Manziel, but they acknowledge it is easier said than done after watching him from afar overwhelm the Southeastern Conference much of the season.
Manziel broke the SEC's season record of 4,327 yards, which had been set two years ago by Auburn's Cam Newton. And Manziel did it despite facing three teams — Alabama, Florida and LSU — that finished in the top 10 in total defense.
He became the first player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to pass for 300 yards and rush for 100 yards in the same game three times in his career. Manziel did it in the first nine games of the season.
BOWL GAMES: All of this season's action
"He knows exactly what he can and can't do," Oklahoma defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. "His ability to extend and create plays, there's not a defense created to defend against that."
Oklahoma isn't the first opponent to game plan for Manziel, who was not named Texas A&M's starter until two weeks before the season-opening game against Florida. And yet no team, especially since Texas A&M's only loss since the Florida game (Oct. 20 to LSU), has had much success containing him.
"It is like that old saying, you come in there with a game plan and to the fight thinking you are going to do this," Texas A&M defensive end Damontre Moore said. "But once you get hit in the nose all that goes out the window. I think that applies to Johnny a lot. You go in saying you are going to do this and you have the perfect scheme, but he always seems to do something amazing to change your whole thought process."
UNDERCLASSMEN HEISMANS: Non-seniors who took home the trophy
Said Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops: "If you do not cover guys, he puts the ball where it needs to be. If you do cover him, uh oh, there you go, he is running. He just has a knack for making something happen even when you have played well."
While Manziel became more difficult to stop as the season wore on, Oklahoma's defense has appeared more vulnerable. The Sooners allowed 510.5 yards and 37 points a game in their last four games.
Wort said it is extremely difficult to defend a scrambling quarterback, especially with the mobility of Manziel. The ability by Manziel to keep a play alive, Wort said, means you have to cover and defend longer than you are accustomed to. Mike Stoops said you can forget about stopping Manziel; trying to limit the big plays is the only option.
Despite playing SEC defenses all season, what has impressed Manziel about Oklahoma's defense is their speed and athleticism — "how they jump off the page," he said when he watched them on tape.
"You look all around (the defense), they sit there and say we are more athletic than you and we can beat you one-on-one and do some things that can distract you," Manziel said. "They don't do too much that will trick you."
Manziel joked that he has not seen his Heisman Trophy since he returned to College Station because it has "kind of been on its own tour." And with award shows in Orlando and New York, and a trip to Los Angeles, the next stop for the Manziel tour is Cowboys Stadium. An encore performance against another defense looking to script their own story line.
"I know Johnny too well," Texas A&M wide receiver Ryan Swope said. "He is not going to get caught up with this (national hype). He knows what is at stake for us to win a bowl game."

Las Vegas, Nev.
Las Vegas, seat of Clark County in southeast Nevada, is the largest city in the state and one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. Between April 1990 and April 2000, the Las Vegas metropolitan area population increased by 83%, growing from 852,737 to 1,563,282.
The area was discovered by Spanish explorers in 1829. The site of Las Vegas ("The Meadows" in Spanish) was originally a watering place for travelers on their way to southern California. It was first settled by Mormons in 1855, who were attracted by its artesian springs. They abandoned their settlement two years later in 1857, and the U.S. Army established Fort Baker there in 1864. In 1867, Las Vegas was detached from the Arizona Territory and joined with Nevada.
The town was established and started to grow with the arrival of the railroad in 1905. However, its growth did not really take off until shortly after 1931, when the Nevada legislature legalized gambling in an effort to lift the state from the Great Depression. The construction of nearby Hoover Dam aided the area economically as well.
The Las Vegas that we know today basically began after World War II, when the idea of large hotels along the brand new "strip" was developed. Las Vegas is the "marriage capital" of America; there are 50 wedding chapels in the city. Tourism and the convention industry are the city's major sources of income. In addition, manufacturing, government, warehousing, and trucking are major sources of employment. Many high-technology companies are also located in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas has a favorable business climate: taxes are relatively low, and there are neither city nor state income taxes. This is because gambling and sales taxes, paid by tourists, have allowed the city and state governments to avoid personal and corporate income taxes.
Popular nearby tourist attractions are Hoover Dam and Lake Mead (the largest man-made lake in the U.S.), Lake Mojave, the Mt. Charleston Recreation Area, Red Rock Canyon, and the Death Valley National Monument.

Zuckerberg Admits Facebook Mistakes, Promises They Will Be Fixed
NEWS ANALYSIS: Had the chief face of Facebook come forward earlier, when the stock was sinking, he might have been able to save his company and its shareholders some substantial value. As it is, the stock rebounded modestly following Zuckerberg's appearance at a San Francisco tech conference on Sept. 11.SAN FRANCISCO -- Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Sept. 11 made his first public appearance since May 19, the day his company went public in New York City and a couple days before he got married. The venue he chose was a one-on-one with TechCrunch blog founder Michael Arrington at the TechCrunch Disrupt 2012 conference here at the Concourse at San Francisco Design Center. Arrington, who left TechCrunch as a full-time staffer after the company was acquired last year but still writes and stays involved in special events, led a wide-ranging discussion with Zuckerberg in which the billionaire entrepreneur showed a more contrite, human side of his personality that had not been previously displayed.
The main points:
- Zuckerberg acknowledged that he's "disappointed" in the performance of the company's stock in its first four months of public sale, something he probably should have mentioned months ago, in order to identify with the pain of stockholders, who saw the stock drop from $38 to $19 in four months;
- Facebook knows mobile is its ticket to future growth and has plans to solve its current problems in that sector; and
- do not expect a Facebook phone anytime soon, possibly ever.
