Drummond island, Rocks and Valleys, Mounds, Bundy hill, twisted trails.
Are there any more in MI? What parks have you been to? How are they?
I've been to Bundy. Not a big fan but it is relatively close to home for me so I do go there. Went to rocks and valleys ad loved it. Are there any more parks like R&V? As far as technical stuff? I've only been to these two. |

We get it. You're smarter than the entire Discovery Institute. Yes, they are petulant fools whose scientific rituals are meant to resemble scientific rigor without being scientific or rigorous. Yes, they are dishonest. Yes, they abuse ethics in their favor and discount ethical breaches they have made.
More science, less poking funny pseudohuman idiots with sharpened sticks... just because they claimed that sharpened sticks didn't exist and even if they did their fleshy exteriors are protected from harm from magical critters in the sky... as entertaining as it may be. - 10:10 PM

I found another instance of apparent plagiarism: I'm pretty sure that the illustration in this Kent Hovind video is "borrowed" from artist Mike Scovel, one of the founders of Carboy Cartoonists International, or one of his imitators: More plagiarism by Kent Hovind's 'ministry'. The evidence was captured in "Why do people laugh at creationists (part 6)" I recognized the style and the lack of credits.

About this entry:
The extraordinary walls that surrounded Arda in ancient times, beyond Ekkaia, the Encircling Sea. In the west and east of the World, Ekkaia was wide, and the Walls were a great distance from land. In the north and south, however, the Encircling Sea was much narrower. This was how Melkor returned into the World during the time of the Lamps of the Valar, coming secretly over the Walls of Night into the north of Arda, and building there his fortress of Utumno beyond the knowledge of the Valar.

These are the UMNO cum Perkasa cum Pekida cum PDRM thugs who went wild bashing up peaceful protesters during Bersih 3.0.
These are the ones (semua Melayu) who should be investigated.
Knowing how our Judges work for UMNO, we know these thugs will never be remanded to get free accommodation and makan at Dang Wangi.
So do we not have the right to arrest these thugs ourselves?

We worked hard - nowhere to hide in a small group of 3. Our final session was on the Battenkill River - the spiritual home of New England fly fishing. The weather was not kind - very wet and misty. None of us caught any fish but a good time was had by all. And yes, I did "get it"!

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Vince Neil is perhaps best known as the front man for the legendary rock group Mötley Crüe. But thanks to his Skylar Neil Foundation he is also widely recognized as a man who generously gives back. After losing his five-year-old daughter Skylar to cancer in 1995, Vince dedicated himself to raising awareness and much needed funding for childrens illnesses. The Skylar Neil Memorial Golf Tournament is a product of those efforts, and the 12th annual event is right around the corner. With generous support from both he mainstream and adult entertainment world, the tournament has raised millions for various charitable organizations dedicated to Cancer, Leukemia and Aids research. This years tournament will take place on Friday May 2nd at the scenic Lost Canyons Golf Club in Simi Valley, CA. It is a great day of golf and fun on the course followed by a one-of-a-kind charity auction, hosted by Tiffany Granath of Playboy Radios ''Afternoon Advice'' on Sirius radio. Celebrity memorabilia, Great food, drinks, golf and beautiful girls, all for a good cause. What could be better? The event has grown so much that last year, it was expanded to two full courses. This years event will also span two courses and promises to be bigger and better than ever. As in past years, the adult community will be heavily involved with the tournament. Previous adult sponsors have included Playboy, Vivid, Wicked Pictures, Elegant Angel, Pure Play Media, Red Light District, Hustler, Zero Tolerance and many, many others. Adult stars such as Jenna Jameson, Ron Jeremy, Danni Ashe, Randy West, Jessica Drake, Brianna Banks, Savannah Sampson, Tori Lane, Mari Possa, Cousin Stevie and Britney Skye have all been involved as well. The time is now to get involved. As always, the tournament is looking for sponsors. Tee, pin-flag and golf-cart sponsorships are all available. With options starting as low as $500, sponsorships are a great way to get your company logo, products and name out the participants. In addition, you or your company can be part of this fantastic event by playing, providing product for golfer gift bags, or by sending talent to sign autographs and pose for pictures with participants on the course. Additionally, girls are needed. Girls, girls, girls in fact. The more the merrier. We need some lovely ladies to man all 36 holes of the two courses. It is a great way to meet fans, sign autographs, pose for pictures and keep the players smiling as they play. For further information on playing in tournament or becoming a sponsor, or for info on other ways to get involved, please contact tournament coordinator Alan Koenig at (615) 255-9000, or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Peak District was England's first national park. This beautiful region sits in the central and northern parts of England, largely within the picturesque county of Derbyshire. Diverse landscapes, abundant wildlife and a rich historic heritage combine with busy market towns and thriving cities such as Sheffield and Manchester. With over 22 million visitors annually, the Peak District is a major UK tourist destination, and the Peak District National Park is the second-most visited park in the world. The District is generally divided into three main areas, each with its own distinctive topography. White Peak in the south is characterised by its limestone landscapes with a blend of flat plateaus and gentle valleys, while the South West Peak is a mix of hay meadows and moorland. The most sparsely populated area is Dark Peak in the north, where dramatic gritstone plateaus, craggy edges and ridges contrast with deep valleys. The whole region is rife with quaint towns, majestic historicWebsite: www.peakdistrict.gov.uk

hey! i read your little post about < stop! hibari-kun > the old anime which u only watched 5 episodes :))
then i got curious as to what kind of person u are .... noticed u love the same type of anime and your character lists is kinda the same to mine :)) ( everybody hates danzou .. srrsly he's a fuckin' ass ! ) ...
yes .. i love one piece ..
so anyway i just wanted to say hi :)) hope u managed to find the next 30 episodes cuz i'm working on it :P
Hehe, they were pretty interesting watches. I don't really deign to align myself with anything. Politically I'm very central, leaning towards the left more than anything.
I'm actually 19 at the moment. My birthday's in the fall. :)
Monster is great, just because it asks such good questions. A brilliant neurosurgeon loses everything (his high position, his fiancee, his respect) when he chooses to operate on a little boy rather than the town mayor. If he'd have operated on the mayor, the hospital would have got some very much needed funding, but deciding the little boy is more important (though he agonises about his decision to 'save the more important life'), the mayor dies in an operation with less-skilled surgeons. He wanders through his life in a stupor for the next few weeks, but soon enough, all the surgeons and hospital officials who oppressed him are killed off by what appears to be a poisoning. Years later, he realises their murders were actually linked... and that little boy he saved is now a prolific serial killer. I mean, what a great concept for a story. I'm no philosopher (in fact, I cannot stand most religion), but I never really thought more about the value of life than when I watched Monster. ^^
I went through the same period while I was in my 'read all the time and read all the classics' phase. It's so, so difficult to go back to reading modern writing when your only comparison is the glut of 18/19/20th century greats.
I'm planning on taking a degree in Japanese with a heavy emphasis on their modern culture, so wish me luck. :) I had no Japanese classes whatsoever in my area (well, unless you count the $40,000 a year private school nearby that does this weird 'pay teacher on commission' policy x_x), so I solved my problem with buying books, importing Japanese magazines and kids' manga, heck, I had some really complicated kanji flashcards I ordered but never used because I misread the fact they're study aids for high school students. XD
Thank you for commenting back. I like getting comments, as you may have guessed. ^_^
And yeah... tsundere types are horribly common in anime/manga these days. If only because these kinds of characters are so horribly popular. x_x It's some kind of weird masochism among the extreme otaku that a girl should have that sort of personality. I suppose in the West, we're like: 'Ugh, I'd take that stupid girl down a peg or two', but for the otaku, it's fine. This is essentially because a tsundere girl has her moments of sweetness, but still has that lovely masochistic aura that shines through just when she thinks she's exposed her emotions too much. This also happens in shoujo or BL, and encompasses both genders. Probably a long-winded explanation (me being a psychology/sociology nut), sure, but that's how I try to empathise with why tsundere types are so popular.
I'm 20 this year, and I agree with the low intellectual level of a lot of anime. I like romances, comedies, fantasy, etcetera, but I like it to be anchored in some aspects of real life. I love Nodame Cantabile because the characters are written in a way so you can relate and maybe even recall knowing someone like this.
I write a lot (I like writing teenage fiction, mostly), and I sometimes find the young adult books that are churned out by publishers to be utterly appaling in quality. Characters speak like no teenager speaks... For example, in one book I read, this girl is a vegetarian. The other character replies: "Oh? Hippy parents or your own pathetic attempt at teenage rebellion?" Happens all over the board, unfortunately. :<
But yeah, I don't want to condemn Japan, because they are great at what they do at times. I'm watching Monster at the moment, and it is brilliant. No silly anime tropes present, and genuinely gripping drama that treats you like an adult. I have a Japanese pen pal, and even she admits that it's really hard to find anime with intellectual plots.
Sorry if this comment got a bit long. XD Hopefully I addressed all your points.
Nice talking to you. ^^
Ok, let's assume said little girl is intelligent. "Mature", and "wants it" by the age of 12. Two problems with that, brah.
1) The average adult male human's penis would DESTROY a little girl's funny parts. That's right, your little girlw ill be nice and "mature", but that shit will PHYSICALLY hurt the kid.
2) In no court of law will they listen when a little kid says she "wanted it". Ever.
Sure, maybe a sixteen year old isn't necessarily messed up morally in that she's engaging in sexual activity, but jesus dude, she's being FORCED INTO IT. BY HER SISTER.
Hi man I like your sig, just wanted to say I felt the same way as you with Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru, wich is why I gave it a 6 instead of lower. It's a bit of Originality from use'n old settings, and doing it poorly. Wish them did it better as I can't help but feel it could have been good atleast.

I've been following the work of Copenhagen based artist Tal R for over a decade and it blows me away how timeless and exciting his works are. He is one of the few painters working today that continuously experiments and shifts his technique and work without ever losing his distinct style.

Tal R: "armes de chine"
Victoria Miro Gallery will present the latest body of work by Danish artist Tal R. From 2005 to 2008, in his dynamic studio christened 'Palace', Tal R has extended his practice to integrate the fields of dance, film, theatre, cabaret, music and fashion. The works from armes de chine are deeply rooted in this period of intense experimentation.

Angel Power
September 2010
Released: 1980, SPV Rating: 2.5/5 Reviewer: JP Back in May of 2009 SPV formally declared they were in financial trouble. With some restructuring and so on the label announced in November of 2009 that they were going toãÎã be actively engaging in the global exploitation of its existing catalog, which currently comprises more than 1,500 catalog-numbersã. So what does that mean for music consumers? Reissues! Rarities at a good price! Itãs a smart move because if a label owns the rights to back catalogue of some obscure band itãs easy to repress the music and slap some nice packaging on it. It saves the cost of putting a band into a studio and/or giving them a huge advance, which is partly what got SPV into financial trouble in the first place. Enough economics. What band gets the reissue treatment this time? Mass! When I heard that the Mass back catalogue was being reissued for whatever reason I assumed it was the American, Christian melodic metal band, probably because they just put out a new album called SEA OF BLACK (which I should probably review as well.) However, to my surprise I discovered it was the older German band! Thatãs just as good or even better! SPV has reissued four of the bands eight albums, ANGEL POWER (1980), SWISS CONNECTION (1981), METAL FIGHTER (1983) and WAR LAW (1984) their fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh albums. I have reviewed all four so please feel free to check out the other reviews in this series of four. Since this is the first review of the German band Mass on the site a little history is in order. Mass has a history going back to 1975. Think about it. 1975. Thatãs pre-Maiden. Pre-Manowar. Pre-Saxon! Even Judas Priest, Rush, Rainbow and Kiss were still relatively, new, young bands! Mass really was one of the earliest bands on the Metal scene! Metal began to reference itself as a sub-genre, a lifestyle, an attitude in the very early 80ãs and Mass was one of the very first bands to embrace ãMetalã and talk and sing about ãHeavy Metalã. Seriously. Until 1980 there were virtually no bands who talked about ãMetalã. Manowar, Saxon, Krokus and a few others embraced the entire ãMetalã concept and Mass was one of those pioneer bands. I imagine you could count the number of bands who had a song or album title about ãMetalã prior to 1981, on one handãÎand Mass was one of them. Of course time has told that they havenãt got the recognition they perhaps deserve. Since the surviving band members are now well into their 50ãs, perhaps this review will be a little nod of recognition for this deserving band. Each album is remixed and re-mastered and comes with some photos. Each album also has a brief but interesting liner note/commentary from bassist, Gunther Radny. Each package also has a bonus track as well. The series is listed on the front cover as ãRare Classicsã. Rare, yes. Classic, maybe not so much. Mass (at least in North America) had very little media exposure. In fact I donãt think Iãve ever met a Mass fan. The band fit in nicely with virtually anything and everything on the Roadrunner label in the 1981-1984 era such as M-80, Samain, and Black Widow. Of the four reissues, this is the album where the band shows their age. ANGEL POWER refers to the band loyal, local following of biker types. The vocals are often more of a spoken delivery, but still clear and discernable. The band is still firmly in rock ãnã roll territory, despite the somewhat darker, heavier lyrical content. Check especially the bonus track ãBlack Massã recording in 1975! That has to be one of the earlier songs about evil sacrifice out there! There is a sense of international yearnings with cuts like ãFlying Into Mexicoã and ãTokyo Teenã even though I sort of doubt the band had been to either place. There is a really decent two-minute long guitar solo in the first half the song ãBad Timesã which is the twin of the previous cut ãGood Timesã. Overall the sound is has a boogie or rock ãnã roll swing to it especially in cuts like ãGood Old Rock ãnã Rollã, harkening back to fifties sound even. The guitar is still pretty over the top for the times however. ANGEL POWER is a good introduction to the band as any.

Sector Portrait: Trade
International Trade is a Bright Spot for Florida
Trends and challenges at Florida's airports, seaports, and free trade zones.
Trade officials say Florida needs more intermodal railroads to pick up cargo at ports. |
Challenge: Infrastructure
Retaining business, say trade officials, will require significant investments in ports and transportation infrastructure. These days "speed to market" is the top concern for manufacturers, says Michael Hopkins, vice president of Latin American operations for Crowley Liner Services, which has terminals at Port Everglades and Jaxport. But Florida's interior transportation infrastructure isn't always efficient at moving cargo into and out of airports and seaports. "Florida is currently one of the most difficult states to get around in physically," says Michael Cavendish, a Jacksonville attorney with Gunster and chairman of both the Jacksonville Transportation Authority and the Northeast Florida Regional Transportation Study Commission.
Among needed changes, officials say:
- More intermodal railroads picking up cargo on port docks
- Better road connections between airports and seaports and major highways
- Uniform highway tolls
- Widening I-95
Challenge: Coordination
Trains and trucks that cart goods into Florida return north largely empty — excess capacity that is an opportunity for importers to move their cargo northward inexpensively. Inbound freight tonnage, according to the Florida Chamber Foundation study, is 80% larger than outbound tonnage. That makes the state a potentially attractive location for major retailers' warehouse and distribution sites, says Joel Haka, executive vice president and COO of Florida East Coast Railway.
"Our relationship with Latin America is what gives us an edge in foreign direct investment. But having too many eggs in one basket, especially when that basket is in the developing world, can be troubling." —Manny Mencia, Enterprise Florida [Photo: Daniel Portnoy] |
But, he says, attracting those retailers and the ocean cargo lines that carry goods for them will require a coordinated, statewide strategy that includes marketing and the use of financial incentives.
Challenge: Diversify Export Destinations
TD Bank economist Alistair Bentley says that boosting high-value exports such as aviation, photonics and biomedical technology would help grow the state's manufacturing sector. Manny Mencia, Enterprise Florida's senior vice president and COO for international trade and development, believes one of the fastest ways to grow exports is to help current exporters expand to more countries.More than 60% of Florida's exports ship to Latin America and the Caribbean. Mencia says Florida's top priority must remain its relationship with that region, but the state also needs to increase trade with other markets, particularly Asia, the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa.

A kindred spirit!
Count your blessings!
That would make me happy... lucky. Simple pleasures today? Realizing how blessed I am with my little home, my secure job, my children doing well, my pets all happy. It doesn't take much.
Count your blessings!
What a great topic!
First, let me get this off my chest: as of May 9, the health of my child(ren) is Number One...never, ever want to go through that again.
Now, thinking pre-May 9 and soon-to-be-later, the simple things that make me happy include:
-- a baby's laugh
-- the bright-eyed, tail-wagging unconditional love of your dog
-- the trusting purr and lip rub granted you by your cat (in a moment of grace - by the cat)
-- watching ANY baby...human or animal... at play and exploring the world
-- the smell of laundry off the clothes line
-- the first day of putting up Christmas decorations
-- the first snowfall of the season
-- the first burst of flowers of the season
-- that first day when the leaves are at their peak, half on the ground, and it rains...smells so good, curling up on the couch with a book and a throw
-- lying by the pool, listening to my favorite radio station, nowhere to go
-- slipping into bed after the bedding has all been washed
-- looking through my babies' photo albums
-- bringing in the first fresh vegetables from the garden, how it makes the kitchen smell fresh
-- summer nights and lightning bugs
-- Christmas morning with little children in the house
-- the porch swing and a glass of lemonade
...gotta stop there, WOW...I didn't realize just how many simple things there are to make me happy! Thanks
To return evil for good is devilish; to return good for good is human; to return good for evil is Divine - Alistair Begg
The fact that today, on a very busy street, traffic automatically and politely stopped to allow two Canada geese (well, one goose and one gander, I assume) escort their flock of goslings across the road.
And there were a lot of goslings; it must have been one enormous nest to hold that many eggs. Very cute to watch the goose parade with one adult at the front and one at the rear and all the goslings in a line between them.
- The Dean Martin Show -
Petula Clark: You know they say you can't buy happiness.
Dean Martin: No but you can pour it..
People stopping their cars to let a person cross a multiple lane road, safely, when it's busy. A lot of times, I start it because I never could stand the feeling of trying to get across and not being able to, as a kid.
"...each affects the other, and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one." - Mitch Albom, one helluva writer.
When you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, you know which one you hit by the one that yelps!
It happens so commonly around here on that particular street that I once saw a guy at the head of the line of cars honk his car horn in frustration, I guess, over the delay. All that accomplished is that the whole line of geese--this time, all adult geese--stopped dead, turned, glared at the car, and waited a good long time before proceeding across the street again. It was like they knew darn well they had the right of way and they weren't about to hurry for Mr. Impatient.

86 z28 w/carbd n camd lq4
Just putting a few feelers out to see what this car is going for right now i own a 5th gen camaro this 86 and i just bought a totaled G8 GT . So was considering making some room in the driveway befofe the G8 comes home . Anyways the car is an 86 z28 body and subframe are in excellent shape i scrubbed them with a tooth brush and coated them as well as the k member with zero rust when i got it. As of right now the car is set up with an lq4 and a carb setup but the fuel system is u finished as well as a cooling system ( have radiator and water pump just haven't gotten that far yet ) so i guess i am just looking to see if anyone has seen an lsx swapped 3rd gen project car sell lately and if i would be better off to pull the motor back out and sell the car as a roller and put the motor on my stand, car also has bmr rear suspension torque arm turbo 350 trans 2800 stall and numerous other goodies interior is a 8/10 needs steering wheel. Any discussion is appreciated .

Coming up for air...
Pressure and fatigue can seem endless at times and we all need that little break to relieve that pressure. Even riding my bike, which I love, can be a pain at times..just trying to get ready and get out there. Yesterday when I got home from work my daughters had our dog Dusty on the leash and wanted to go to the park. When they asked me if I wanted to go, my first inclination was to say no because I was so tired from my work day. Instead of heading in to relax, I said that I would go with them. Yesterday was one of the most beautiful days we have had in a very long time. It was around 6pm and the temperatures were in the high sixties and the late afternoon shadows made the greens, greener and the blues, bluer. Off to the park we went and had a really nice stroll with our dog. I'm very glad that I went with them. I'm not much of a photograper...but I liked these that I took from yesterday.

Spouse in pain? Love affects sleep, study shows
Spouses who have a close relationship share many things - material and non-material, highs and lows. And when one spouse experiences chronic pain, it can have a ripple effect for the other spouse, affecting sleep and even increasing risks for health problems, say researchers from Penn State University...Portable eye clinic in a smartphone Insomnia helped with exercise – eventually

She is gorgeous!! This is a great shot of her. Wonderful image for you to remember her by.
Thank you Michelle, much appreciated. And that's a beautiful image of "Bob" on your site. I can so relate!
Thank you Nora for your kind words. She was like another grandchild.
She looks beautiful, George. I be she was the perfecto companion. Hope the cookies were one for her and one for you not first bite for her and the rest for you. lol.
She actually belonged to my son's family but she used to adopt me, and vice versa. We shared cookies and TV together many times..lol!
These precious animals I feel are God's special gifts to us. They grow so close to our hearts and quickly become one of our "kids", don't they?! I'm glad you had the gift of her love for so long. She is truly a beautiful animal. I'm sure you meant as much to her as she did to you. Blessings, my friend – Pat
Thank you Pat. She was actually my son's family pet, but she was at my house a lot and we were her baby-sitters when they were away and she was very special to me. Sometimes I think they become more than children because they give so much and ask for so little. Thank you for making her a Favourite.
A beautiful dog George and great photo to remember her by. They really do teach us about unconditional love don't they. Thanks for sharing with us! :)
Thank you Kathie. Yes, she had a very sweet,loving disposition, as perfect as one could ever want.
What a pretty candid shot.We enjoy our pets so much and I know how you feel,it is awful when it is time to part.Remember the fun times.
Thanks Carla,you have expressed my feelings perfectly. The memories are still fresh.
Losing a pet does hurt but we are so blessed to have had them in our lives!!!

August 26, 2013 Update: Did not get as far as I wanted to on the deck!
Well, classic case of my eyes being bigger than my stomach or whatever the construction equivalent is as I had hoped to get the decking done this past weekend but some other things took over including a little R&R time on the water Sunday, which is always a good excuse!
So, exactly what did I get done.......well, I now have all but the final 10 floor joists in place and a few extra odd supports to put in but I plan to get that in tonight so to start decking it later this week. I also took down all of the training wheels (aka posts supports) as everything is nicely tied in now. Getting closer! |

Tara Lipinski tweeted that she will be on the Rachael Ray show on Feb. 6. The picture revealed that Brian Boitano and Dorothy Hamill were also there. I guess they had some kind of cooking competition?
Thanks for this, justathought. I've been making a pre-Olympics compilation of all figure skating-related bits on TV. This is so helpful.
BUMP as reminder. My on-screen Comcast schedule indicates that the entire studio has been turned into an ice rink...a cook-off between Olympic gold medalists. I will set my DVR to capture this, as the Team Event kicks-off 'live' (thanks to my TVTeka subscription) at exactly the same time...10AM in Wash, DC. Also, I see that FoxSports cable will be showing new episodes of Michelle Kwan's "Fox Focus" show, from Sochi, at 2pm, 2:30pm, etc. (3 or 4 episodes). In the Wash, DC area, this station is 729 on Comcast cable.

Given the historical success of undrafted quarterbacks in the NFL, Tony Romo might as well be a national treasure. We look at the impact of developmental leagues on undrafted quarterbacks, and just how many players have tried to break through in a recent season.
30 Apr 2010
by J.I. Halsell
The NFL Draft is the beginning of the careers of hundreds of players, but it also means the end of the road for others. Here is a look at some players who may be cut over the next few weeks.
With the acquisition of quarterback Jason Campbell, it seems a far-gone conclusion that the 2007 No. 1 overall draft pick will not be a member of the Raiders in 2010. Russell is accounting for $15.3 million against Oakland's team salary. If released, Russell's 2010 dead money number will be $19.9 million because of team salary accounting rules and the bonus acceleration that is part of these rules. But in an uncapped year, this enormous amount -- which is slightly higher than Peyton Manning's team salary number -- is not a hindrance to the Raiders. From a cash perspective, the release of Russell will save the Raiders $6 million in salary, as $3.5 million of Russell's $9.5 million salary remains guaranteed. With the start of Organized Team Activities (OTAs) looming, the Raiders would be wise to release Russell before he suffers a season-ending injury, which would leave the Raiders responsible for the full $9.5-million salary.
Branch has been a disappointment through his entire tenure in Seattle. The drafting of Notre Dame wide receiver Golden Tate in the second round -- coupled with the continued development of 2009 third-round pick Deon Butler -- leads to the conclusion that Branch's days could be limited in the Pacific Northwest. Branch accounts for $8 million in team salary. By releasing Branch, the Seahawks could save themselves $5.5 million this season. Like Russell, Branch could collect that money if he suffered a season-ending injury during OTAs. The risk isn't worthwhile for a player who may not factor into your plans for 2010.
The release of Kelly, one of the top-10 highest paid defensive tackles in the game, is very unlikely. Nevertheless, Oakland drafting second-round defensive tackle Lamarr Houston may not bode well for Kelly's future. The Raiders have acquired young pass rushers Kamerion Wimbley and Quentin Groves, and these acquisitions may allow Richard Seymour to kick down to defensive tackle more frequently, which could squeeze out Kelly. Kelly currently accounts for $7.4 million in team salary. By terminating him, the Raiders would save $4.5 million in salary but incur a dead money charge against their team salary books of $11.5 million. However, as I mentioned in the case of Russell, 2010 is the year to take on significant dead money.
I do not foresee this termination occurring, primarily due to the fact that Williams' $3.5-million salary is fully guaranteed, and Jerry Jones would like to get some sort of return on that investment, even if it's minimal given the presence of first-round wide receiver Dez Bryant. Like Kelly, Williams accounts for $7.4 million against the Cowboys' team salary books. If the team were to terminate Williams, it would still be on the hook for $3.5 million in salary plus a dead money charge of $17.5 million.
Geathers, a 15-game starter in 2009, is surely going to be pushed by 2010 second-round pick Carlos Dunlap and 2009 third-round pick Michael Johnson. Dunlap and Johnson could very well push Geathers out of the building. By terminating Geathers, who accounts for $5.5 million, the Bengals could save $3.5 million in Geathers' salary. Geathers' fate can easily depend upon the recovery of defensive end Antwan Odom, who was having a breakout season prior to suffering an achilles injury.
With fellow safety Dashon Goldson solidifying his status in the 49ers secondary in 2009, Lewis will have to battle second-round pick Taylor Mays for the starting safety position opposite of Goldson. The 49ers can save themselves $4.1 million by releasing Lewis. If Lewis cannot beat out Mays for the starting position, then $4.1 million is a lot of money to pay to a third safety. First, Lewis has to hope he even gets the opportunity to compete in training camp.
The drafting of first-round cornerback Patrick Robinson does not bode well for the future of six-year veteran Gay. The Saints have invested high picks in three young corners -- Robinson, Tracy Porter, and Malcolm Jenkins. The team also made a significant financial investment in cornerback Jabari Greer. At best, Gay is the Saints' fourth or fifth cornerback, and with $3 million due to him in a combination of a $500,000 roster bonus and $2.5-million salary, it would not be surprising to see the Saints let Gay go. And the decision could come soon -- his roster bonus is due May 1.
Football Outsiders reader Dr. Obvious asks:
"Is [Steelers linebacker Lamarr] Woodley, and any other Pro-Bowl quality player under a rookie contract screwed?"
Twitter follower @JonathanCarter0 asks:
"What are ways that Tennessee could get around the 30% rule and get Chris Johnson that money?"
My fellow capologist Ian Whetstone did a great job breaking down the nuances, specifically the 30 percent rule, prohibiting a lucrative multi-year extension of Woodley in a recent article. Add Titans running back Chris Johnson and Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson to the list of young players who are disgruntled with their respective contracts. If this were a normal league year with a salary cap, then signing these players to multi-year deals reflective of their productivity would not be a problem. As far as how one can get a deal done to reward these players in spite of the 30 percent rule, there are certain complex contracts structures that could potentially work. The complexities of such deals probably diminish the likelihood of one coming to fruition. The simple -- and more likely -- temporary resolution is to sign these players to short-term contracts of one or two years that hold them over until the labor environment changes. For example, if a player and club agree that the player's market value is $6 million per year, then a two-year deal with minimum salaries totaling roughly $1 million and a signing bonus of $11 million could be executed.

Wow, paying a guy like Randall Gay three Mio and still be right (won SB) ... that's cool (I am a Pats fan). I would never pay a guy like that 3 Mio, but I probably won't ever win a SB either ...
If Cowboys fans are fortunate, the Roy Williams trade finally convinced Jerrel The Sober to leave all efforts to improve the roster to his son, thereby allowing Bourbon Jerry to seek full time hours, towards the deadly earnest business of running his mouth while trying to bang cocktail waitresses.
It'll never happen, we're not that fortunate. (waiting for my optimistic alter ego, Key19, to show up and dispute this)
I really try to be fair to Jerrel. Lots of guys have gotten lucky drilling for oil, and damned few have parlayed that luck in the manner he has. He deserves credit for this. It is rare, and fascinating, however, to see one person simulteaneously, convincingly, playing the roles of Vito Corleone, and his son Fredo.
How will he ever glower in the growing shadows in his study, behind his desk, while, at the same time, have himself clipped with a .22 to the back of his head, while trying to put a worm on a hook, sitting in a skiff? Or give himself a big smooch on the lips, for that matter? Is Bill Parcells Hyman Roth, or Kay Adams? Not that there is anything wrong with that.....
Jerry is not the most savvy trade negotiator by any stretch, but he is a great asset to our team. I personally think it would be absolutely stupid to cut Roy this year. If he sucks again this season, then by all means, get him out of here. But we've got Miles.... and then Roy and a bunch of unproven young guys. Crayton is likely gone, possibly Hurd too. To lose those two AND Roy would set our team back immensely. I'm as big a Kevin Ogletree fan as anybody, but I'd like to see more from him before I hand him the #3 job. And I'd like to see a few strong performances from Dez before I'm willing to count on him.
Jerry and CO. pulled off one of the best value drafts in the history of the Cowboys this year. He knows what he's doing and he doesn't often get burned more than once. Yeah, he has gotten burned on two mega-trades for WRs, but I would be seriously shocked if he tried another one of those.
The way people talk about Jerry as a personnel guy and Wade as a coach, you'd think this team would be lucky to go 5-11. Yet they've won two of the last three NFC Division titles and have not posted a .500 or worse season together in three years. In fact, there are only I think three teams with a better record than the Cowboys in the last three years. I think they probably know what they're doing.
Happy, Temo? lol
What happened between the playoff win in 1997 and the next one in January 2010? The great asset was merely trying to lull evryone into complacency?
I know you are an optimist, and that'a a good thing. I just can't stand Bourbon Jerry.
Jerry was a pretty bad GM in the late-90s until the mid 2000s. He was originally HORRIBLE at working the salary cap, giving huge deals to players at the end of their careers just because they were good old boys from the Super Bowl years. That totally set the franchise back 5+ years. He also drafted horribly in this time period. But since about 2003/2004-ish, he's been on fire with everything except trades. He still sucks so bad at those, but maybe he'll finally learn his lesson about those thanks to Roy.
He's done well with draft pick trades at least, managing to get both the Bills and Browns to cough up both an early 2nd round pick and a 1st round pick the next year in exchange for a late 1st, taking advantage of the fact that those teams were desperate for their QB of the future. Combined with the more equitable trade with the Eagles in 2007, this allowed him to pull off the neat trick of getting the Browns' 1st round pick in 2008 exchange for moving down from 20 to 26 and giving up a 3rd and a 5th.
Trades involving players, on the other hand, haven't really worked out so well for him.
Nice insight JI.
Also good to see Ian Whetstone getting some props after years of helping to satiate the needs of cap nerds like me.
I seem to have read somewhere that this is an uncapped year, owing to an ongoing labor dispute. If so, then there's no cap to be "under" and talk of a cap hit for cuts being made this season makes no sense.
If you had given a player a $20m signing bonus on a five year contract and he had played like crap for the first year of that contract if you cut him you would still have to account for the remaining $16m of bonus money that has been pro-rated. If you waited until after June 1st you could put half of that into the next season but you would still have £8m of dead money on your cap for both years. It is a rare opportunity then to be able to simply dump the dead money into an uncapped year. Teams like Washington have used the lack of cap to wipe their previous slate of dead money clean. Is is the avoindance of dead money in the future that is to be noted.
Teams like Cincy and Tampa are doing the opposite, that is they are cheerfully letting old dead money camoflage the fact that they aren't spending much this year at all.
Well unless this article was edited after your post was made, your mention of the term "cap hit" was the first on the page so I'm not really sure what you're talking about.
Your amazing semantic powers have failed this time I'm afraid. Next time read past (what you imagine to be) the headline.
Is the 30% rule why the Eagles signed Kolb to that weird contract yesterday?
I would imagine so. Even if the Eagles had wanted to sign him up long term it would have been very difficult. The linked article by Ian Whetstone gives a good explanation.
Have to tske look at nimbers tonite
Careful now. The thing about numbers is that the order you put them in makes a lot of difference. ;)
Well, sure, Kelly is overpaid. But are they really going to get a better DT anywhere? For Jamarcus, the answer is clearly YES. Pro Football Focus has Kelly listed as the 40th best DT. Certainly not worth a lot of money. But if he goes where is the Raider defensive rebuild? Nowhere.
Which is why I was hoping the Raiders would have taken him instead of another track-star receiver. He would be hard to move, and would not need to be paid a lot.
Hey, thanks for the mention!
I know this has been discussed before, but wasn't Roy Williams actually good at some point? Like an actual success story for the Millen years? I remember him showing flashes as a Rookie, and the numbers showed steady improvement over the next two years (including a Pro Bowl in 2006). He was reasonably productive in an injury-shortened year in 2007, before the bottom completely fell out in 2008.
Seriously - can anyone in Detroit explain what happened? His conventional numbers were always pretty good, and he was #10 in DYAR in 2006. Was it all smoke and mirrors those early years in Detroit? Did 2008 just destroy everyone associated with it? Does he just not fit the scheme in Dallas? What does he do well, and where could he succeed?
George, my impression, which doesn't amount to all that much, is that Roy is the sorta' fella who, while no doubt blessed with immense physical talent, can be discouraged from being extremely productive by anything unpleasant, including, but not limited to, not being targeted by his qb early and frequently, or being treated in a rude fashion by opposing defensive backs.
Of course, this not unknown for the highly strung people people who frequently gravitate to this position, but I don't think Roy quite measures up, as talented as he is, to the freakishness of, say, Randy Moss, and thus he always seems to have been a story of untapped potential. If you could do a brain transplant with Hines Ward, then you just might have a Hall of Fame receiver.
You could leave Hines Ward's brain right where it is, and you just might have a Hall of Fame receiver.
I don't necessarily disagree, but a Ward brain and Williams body might be a top 10 receiver all-time.
I think that's pretty accurate. Yes, at first it looked like Williams might be, well, a Calvin Johnson, but it turned out that he didn't have the temperament to succeed in Detroit. (Insert joke here.) It seems now that perhaps the words "in Detroit" might not be necessary. Think of Roy Williams more toward the middle of a spectrum bounded by Megatron and Mike Williams.
That sounds like a fair description, but the thing that bugs me is that he was trending upwards for 3 years, and arguably held steady for the 4th, before the bottom fell out in 2008. It's not like he never bothered trying; he obviously had to put a lot of work into improving those first few years on bad teams. I just can't believe that player is completely gone; I can see him signing in, say, New England for a bargain-basement salary, flashing his old talent, demanding a ridiculous raise, getting cut, then signing in Oakland where he's moderately productive on bad teams, but never again at the top-level.
Speaking as a Cowboys fan, though not as optimistic as Key19, I've still got hopes that Roy will turn it around in Dallas (or more accurately, Arlington, but whatever). I vividly remember back when he was good in Detroit. And was excited to see him play for the Cowboys (though, ugh, that horrible trade), and though I've been disappointed so far, he's still got loads more talent than Ogletree or Crayton.
I seriously believe that a receiving corps with Austin, Williams, and Bryant could potentially be one of the greatest groups of receivers of all time. Of course, that is contingent on Williams playing to the potential he showed in Detroit and Bryant becoming the player he's thought to be, but the potential is there.
It won't happen, but it would be damned nice to see.
Reading this article has made me wonder: what exactly is an injury settlement? You hear about that every so often where a team reaches an injury settlement with a player, and subsequently the player is dropped from the team.
Is that an admission by the team that they have no interest in the player once he is healthy? Does he get more or less money than he would if he just stayed on IR?
In an injury settlement, as I understand it, both parties come to terms on a number of weeks in the season for which the player is expected to be incapacitated. The team cuts the player a check for that portion of the season, and the player is released, but he is unable to re-sign with a team until the agreed-upon period has lapsed. The amount of the settlement counts against the salary cap (when there is one), and the player no longer counts against any roster limits.
Since an injury settlement is for only a determined portion of the season, the dollar amount is less than what the player would receive if he spent the entire year on IR. The upside for the player is that he can come back and play again that year.
No mention of Michael Clayton, who is terribly overpaid and who is rumoured to be a casualty very soon, especially now that Benn and Williams have been drafted?
Wimbley, Groves, Seymour all good recent aquisitions so if tram decide to get rid of t kelly that would be ojay. Not going to affect playoff run. Can win with or without jelly.Best T Kelly mkmenr was when pants fell down to ankles in fame at denver in 2009
The "cleaning up dead money" idea is also probably a large part of why the Eagles ditched Reggie Brown and Shawn Andrews this year. This really gives teams a rare opportunity to undo a lot of their previous mistakes without the normal repercussions.
You'd expect the same reasoning to lead to more trades than we usually see. Arguably it already has, with Cromartie, Holmes, Marshall, Quinn, Campbell, Carriker, Morrison, Boldin, Ginn, etc. (note: I'm leaving out McNabb, Sheldon Brown, and Chris Gocong because I know the potential cap hit wouldn't have been big for those 3 anyway. I don't know offhand how much dead money was avoided in the other deals and whether that was a factor that allowed the trades to happen).
I don't know how the number of trades this year actually compares to previous years, but it seems like there are more than usual. What's interesting are the early-pick mega-contracts like Russell's. It might make sense to move players like, say, Glenn Dorsey, who has a big contract, but isn't a good fit for his team's current defensive scheme. Teams also have decisions to make about guys like Vernon Gholston and Jamaal Anderson who have been disappointments so far, but are still early in their careers. If they wait to hope they turn it around, they risk having a bad contract on the books once there's a new labor agreement.
to AlanSP,
holems, marshall and cromartie trades maybe happen no matterw hat system in place. Piitt got rid of Holmes bebbacause bad guy off field and font office needed to teach lesson to rest of team. cromartie fell out of favor with sd chargers and denver tried to trade msrahsll in past and finally get it doen now after guy showed was bum and coudlnt get along with coach
but yes seems that are more tardes than usual this year
"Russell's 2010 dead money number will be $19.9 million ... which is slightly higher than Peyton Manning's team salary number."
That shows a lot about how unreal the salaries are for high draft picks. If there is a new CBA I really hope they will do something about this, and Goodell has already made a remark about how high the rookie pay is.
I've never understood why the NFLPA itself didn't push for this. Every team already has to spend a certain amount of money; it can either go to a veteran, or it can go to a rookie. They can even pretend to make a huge concession by offering it in exchange for, say, eliminating RFA or franchise designations.
I don't think the owners would go for that. If they really didn't want to pay these huge salaries, they wouldn't. There is no rule that top picks have to make this much. The owners really like RFA and franchise tags, so I don't see why they would give them up for something that isn't a big deal to them.
Maybe it's not that bad for the veterans. I'd think that the veterans during negotiations point to the 1st round rookie on the same position. "If JaMarcus is making X, then certainly Schaub is worth 2X".
Cap number != actual salary paid.
The only reason that dead money number is so high is because all the unamortized bonus is accelerated. If the Colt's cut Manning tomorrow, the dead money number would be a lot higher than 20 million me thinks.
Well, no. Because Manning's contract is up after this year, the dead money would only be the portion of the signing bonus that was already applied to this season. So in this particular case, the dead money number wouldn't be all that high.
It would be a little bit more than just the portion applied to this year already, because Manning has voidable years in 2011-2012 with bonus prorations applied. But, your basic point remains.
Ok bad example, but any other franchise QB would probably have a ridiculous cap number if they got cut.
even if it was 10 million less it would still be ridiculous for a player as bad as Russell.

This may not seem like a lot but it's very filling!
PS: don't sub coconut flour, when I tried that it was a flop. :(
(may also add chopped pecans, walnuts, strawberries, blueberries, dark choc. chips.)
I'm headed to the kitchen to try this right now!! And I LOVE your Wonder Woman mug! How appropriate, 'cuz you're our "Wonder Woman" of P10!!
ReplyDeleteI typed this the other day, but don't see it today, so here goes again: I am restarting Stage One of P10 today. I know this is the ONLY way to eat and be healthy, but I let myself slip back into my old ways, feeding my taste buds instead of my body. I just wanted you to know that Muffin in a Minute is one of the things that will TOTALLY make a difference in long-term success. I made one last week just to see -- made it plain and just spread butter on it. Then, the next day made one with some Stevia and blueberries -- ahhhhhh, there it is! Sweets are my weakness and my downfall. Something like this will SO make a difference for me. Thanks for posting and keep them coming!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been bouncing around on so many paleo/wheat belly sites that I can't even credit which one led me over here--but as I sit here, finishing up the last bite of the first breakfast sandwich I've had in over a month, I am really thankful!! =)Very tasty, very filling! I made my husband's in a normal sized mug, and of course, they were smaller--so for mine, I wised up and made it in a soup mug, which made a much bigger muffin, perfect for a fried egg. =) Thank you so much for this recipe!
ReplyDeleteFirst bite there was an ammonia taste...than it was fine???...anyway nice recipe...I wonder if just using almond flour would work...need to get the golden flax seed flour..I like it better...Thank you for the reciepe..

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Florida Atlantic linebacker Freedom Whitfield has been taken to a hospital after he was injured in a collision. Whitfield led with his helmet on a big hit against No. 11 Auburn punt returner Chris Davis in the first quarter on Saturday night. Whitfield's helmet appeared to hit Davis high on his chest. Part of Whitfield's helmet may have hit the lower facemask of Davis. Both players initially were stunned following the collision, but Davis rose while Whitfield remained on his back. Whitfield, who was strapped to a stretcher, moved his left arm in response to teammates who approached him as he was taken off the field on a cart. Florida Atlantic reported Whitfield was taken to a hospital for precautionary reasons.

Some things I hope for myself in the coming year:
1. I hope that when I speak or write, I will have the courage to say what I think is true, rather than what I think I should think, or what others (whose opinions matter to me) think I should think.
2. I hope when I do say what I think, it will be with the humility to know I could be wrong. And I hope that it will be with enough self-trust and integrity not to abandon what seems apparent to me just because I could be wrong. Instead, I hope it will only be when I have been offered reasons or evidence that sincerely move me.
3. I hope I will seek out the good even when I see much darkness, that I will have the courage to recognize the darkness, not hide from it, but also not let it blind me to the stars. I hope that I will recognize the light that I can nurture, and see how best to nurture it, and so help forge an honest pathway to greater joy.
3. I hope that I will live more fully in each moment, taking in the smells and sounds and sights around me. I hope that when my daughter clings to my neck and presses her cheek against my own, I will let every other concern slip away, even if just for that moment, so I can fully savor the smell of her hair.
4. I hope I will not lose my anger--and the energy for action that it provides. But I also hope that the anger will always give way before compassion, before empathy, before the will to understand. I hope that my anger will never drive me towards recklessness, and that my wisdom will tell me when my anger is misplaced.
5. I hope I will spend more time laughing and making music--both literal and figurative music--with the people I love.
What are your hopes for the coming year?

Chinese Mainland Real Estate Markets Report, undertaken as a pilot study for the first time in 2011, is now an annual survey of real estate industry experts based or active in China. The goal of the survey and the summary report is to provide a platform through which insights and perspectives are shared, both among those already in the China markets and those who are interested in future involvement. The report will be made available at ULI events at which the contents are the focal point, at other ULI-sponsored events in Asia, and on the ULI website.
Chinese Mainland Real Estate Markets 2016
Urban Land Institute (ULI) has released Chinese Mainland Real Estate Markets 2016. According to the report, the Chinese mainland real estate made a strong recovery in the past year as a result of the government's loose monetary policy and favorable policies for the housing market such as the cancellation of home purchase restrictions nationwide, except in the four Tier 1 cities. The current housing sector recovery has seen new home prices increase 8.9 percent on average across the Tier 1-3 cities in the survey for a 12-month period ending June 2016. The four Tier 1 cities continue to occupy the top four places in the rankings for development and investment prospects, led by Shanghai at the top.

Destination of the week: the dark side of the earth
Total solar eclipses occur about once a year somewhere in the world. Six days from now, the sun will go out over parts of northern Canada, northern Russia, western Mongolia and China. Tours taking in the 1 August eclipse have been oversubscribed: "There are no more places available on this trip," says Brian McGee, director of the eclipse specialist Explorers Tours (0845 644 7090; www.explorers.co.uk), which is sending 300 people to a viewing site in China.
The eclipse of July 2009 will also pass over China – though not an area with a good chance of clear skies.
The 2010 solar eclipse looks a much better bet, with a high chance of clear skies – and an amazing destination in the line of totality: Easter Island.
Warning of the week: Pool safety
"More British children drown on holiday abroad than in Britain itself, most of them in swimming pools," warns the Swimming Teachers' Association (01922 645097; www.sta.co.uk). It has issued advice for parents to try to reduce the number of tragedies this summer: As soon as you arrive, inspect the location for potential hazards. It is not uncommon for a drowning to occur while both parents have been unloading the car or unpacking. Young children are attracted to water. Don't take your eyes off them for even one second if they are near water. Never accept the validity of pool depth markings – they are often wrong.
Bargain of the week: Docklands by bus
Visitors to the capital can take a cut-price bus trip around the regenerated Isle of Dogs in East London, and then travel back into the City on the top deck of a London bus – thanks to the new route 135. This double-decker runs every 10 minutes around the Isle of Dogs and then via Limehouse to Old Street in the City. The flat fare with an Oyster prepaid card (which every visitor to London should get) is 90p.

2. The WTO is a stacked, secretive court. The WTO's dispute panels rule on weather or not a nation's rules are "barriers to trade" behind closed doors with no public input allowed. The panels are comprised of three trade bureaucrats who are not screened for conflict of interest. For example, in the tuna/dolphin case that Mexico filed against the U.S. (which forced the U.S. to repeal it's law barring tuna caught by purseseine nets that needlessly kill hundreds of thousands of dolphins per year), one of the judges was from a corporate front group that lobbied on behalf of the Mexican Government for NAFTA. In all it's cases to date involving laws protecting public health and their environment, the WTO has ruled in favor of corporations.
3. The WTO tramples over labor and human rights. WTO forbid the regulation of a product based on the way it's produced, regardless if the with child labor or by workers exposed to toxic chemicals. A Government Accounting Office study found that U.S. law banning forced labor violates the WTO rule. Furthermore, Governments are not allowed to take human rights into consideration when deciding how tax dollars should be spent; purchasing decisions can only be based on commercial consideration such as quality and cost. The Massachusetts law against contracting with corporations that do business with the brutal dictatorship of Burma is currently being challenged by the WTO. International Labor issues are neglected to the International Labor Organization, which unlike the WTO has no enforcement capacity. The ILO has found Burma in violation of key labor standards, but Burma is still considered an equal member of the WTO.
4. WTO policies are widening the gap between the rich and the poor. The UN Development Program's Human Development Report for 1999 states: "The top fifth of the world's richest people enjoy 82% of the expanding export trade and 69% of foreign direct investment, while the bottom fifth barely get more than 1%. These trends reinforce the economic stagnation and low human development." In the U.S. a pro-free trade economist has determined that 39% of the increase in income inequality can be contributed to trade. Studies have shown that employers often use the threat of relocation to low wage countries to ratchet down wages and benefits.
5. The WTO is anti-environment. The WTO is being sued by corporations to dismantle hard-won environmental protections. in 1993, the very first WTO panel ruled against a regulation of the U.S. Clean Air Act, which had required both domestic and foreign producers alike to produce cleaner gasoline. Recently the WTO had declared illegal the provision of The Endangered Species Act that requires shrimp sold in the U.S. to be caught with an inexpensive 'turtle excluder device' that allows endangered sea turtles to escape shrimp nets. The WTO ruled against the law calling it an illegal encroachment on the sovereignty of other governments for the U.S. to set rules for what can be sold in the United States.
6. The WTO rules undermine public health. The WTO's fierce defense of intellectual property rights (patents, copyrights and trademarks) comes at the expense of health and human lives. The WTO's support of pharmaceutical companies against governments seeking to protect the people's health has serious implications for places like Sub-Saharan Africa where 80 percent of the world's new AIDS cases are found. In the WTO ruling against the European Union's ban on beef grown with hormones, the WTO completely disregarded the common sense notion that chemical additives should be proven safe before they are used ("precautionary principal").
7. The WTO was undemocratically established. During the U.S. congressional debate in 1994, Public Citizen offered a $10,000 donation to the charity of choice of any Congressperson who had read the entire GATT/WTO legislation. Colorado republican Hank Brown accepted the challenge. Although he originally planned to vote in favor of the GATT, after reading the text he was appalled and could not support it. The WTO implementing legislation made many changes to U.S. laws that most lawmakers are unaware of. had the agreement been voted on as a treaty, requiring two-thirds Senate majority, it would have been defeated.
8. The WTO is undemocratic and unaccountable. The WTO claims that it operates by consensus, but the Seattle debacle illustrates how the WTO really functions. After much of the ministerial declaration was drafted in private "green room" meetings with select countries present, African and Caribbean effectively banned together for the first time. They denounced the closed door process and blocked the launching of a new round. The WTO boasts of it's interference with the with the democratic process within countries as well. Their website states: "Under WTO rules, once a commitment has been made to liberalize a sector of trade, it is difficult to reverse... Quite often governments use the WTO as a welcome external constraint on their policies: 'we can't do this because it would violate WTO agreements.'"
9. The WTO hurts countries in the Global South Leaders of the Global South are developing a new consensus that free trade policies result in great wealth for a few, and impoverishment of many. Under WTO rules, developing countries are prohibited from following the same rules as industrialized countries pursued, such as protecting young domestic industries until they can be internationally competitive. Local policies aimed at countries that hire a certain percentage of local residents, transfer technology and use domestic inputs are essentially illegal under the WTO.
10. The tide is turning against free trade and the WTO! There is a growing international backlash against the WTO and corporate globalization over which it presides. Movement-building by coalitions such as People's Global Action, the Direct Action Network, and the Alliance for Sustainable jobs and the environment are growing fast, as public support for a corporate-managed global economy dwindles. A January 2000 opinion poll by Business Week found that 52% of Americans sympathized with the protestors at the WTO in Seattle.
