Arsenal.com spoke to Liam Brady, the Head of Youth Development at Arsenal, as the new season got underway.
In a candid two-part interview, Liam gave his verdict on the young professionals at Highbury, the achievements of Arsenal's Academy, the club's scouting network, the influx of young foreign players in England and much more.
You can read Part One of the interview now, with Part Two to follow on Thursday...
Arsenal.com: The youth development department was created in 1996, how do you rate your achievements since then?
Liam Brady: Everything regarding youth policy is judged by the number of players we get into the first team and whether we have been successful doing that.
We have had two players with championship medals in that time. One has gone on to be England's first choice left back, Ashley Cole. The other is Stuart Taylor. He followed up the medal with some fine performances. He has yet to claim the No 1 jersey but I know that is his next target.
We have done well with two players when we have such a good first-team squad. With the talented players we have here if they had been at another club maybe they'd have had a chance. But we do spell it out to players when they arrive that it will not be easy. Obviously we want more of an input and I think we've started to get that.
Last year it was great to see Ryan Garry, David Bentley and Justin Hoyte do well. It was a bit unfortunate with Jeremie Aliadiere, who had his hernia problem. If he had been fit throughout the season he definitely would have played and had a good few games in the first team.
He is one of the players we have high hopes for. He has progressed through the youth development to the first team squad.
It was also nice to see Pennant score three against Southampton in May. Everybody knows how talented he is and in his first full outing he does that.
Is this the strongest crop of young players in your time at the club?
I would say so. We have had people leave who have shown they are fine players - Steven Sidwell and James Harper at Reading, Julian Gray, Tommy Black at Crystal Palace and Paolo Vernazza at Watford.
I don't think we have made any mistakes in letting those players go but it does show you that the standard at Arsenal is very, very high because these lads are very good players. I am glad to see that the grounding and education at Arsenal has helped them in their careers.
It takes time for players to move through the youth ranks and your department has only been going since 1996, do the fans need to be patient?
Any time we have unveiled a player they have shown what they can do. Ultimately it is Arsène Wenger who decides who plays in the first team and nobody can argue with Arsène's judgement so we have to be patient and up to the challenge. I think Arsenal fans would agree it's unfair to say that the youth system has not produced anything because just look at the boys who have shown what they can do.
They have seen Cole and Taylor most of all. But Pennant scores in his first League game, plus Ryan Garry and Jeremie Aliadiere, who scored his first League goal last season. I think the fans know we have a lot of good new players.

Isinglass River trout restocking draws crowd in Rochester
By John Quinn
Union Leader Correspondent | October 20. 2013 8:37PM
About 50 people released 300 rainbow trout as part of the fifth annual program organized by members of the Three Rivers Stocking Association and Waste Management, which owns the Turnkey Recycling & Environmental Enterprises, located along Rochester Neck Road.
"It looked like a good fall activity," Plante said as Logan splashed around in the water, which he thought was the best part.
"We just started camping this year," Campbell said. "We'll do more fishing next year."
Ty Corneau, facility operations manager of Waste Management of New Hampshire said this is a great event for families, including his own children – Wyatt, 13, and Abby, 11, of Brookfield.
"There's never a bad day for this," Abby Corneau said, adding the hardest part is getting the buckets full of fish down a leaf-covered pathway.
This event is part of an annual effort by Three Rivers volunteers to restock the Isinglass, the Cocheco and the Lamprey rivers.

In a typical class with Dr. Henry Foust, cooperative engineering and physics students might find themselves doing an experiment with temperature sensors in air, cold water and hot water.
Foust, a visiting instructor in the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Cooperative Engineering, teaches courses in engineering, such as statics, dynamics, circuits Auto-Cad and thermodynamics.
These courses are part of the University of St. Thomas Cooperative Engineering Program, a 3-2 program, in which students study three years at UST, then transfer to one of the University's cooperative engineering schools for two years. At UST, the student completes an individualized plan of study that combines a broad liberal arts background with the prerequisites for the engineering program at the chosen cooperative University.
In the 3-2 program, students earn two degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in applied mathematics from St. Thomas and Bachelor of Science degree in their chosen engineering discipline at the cooperative engineering school upon completion of both programs.
"They transfer to an engineering school, such as the University of Houston, Texas A&M University or the University of Notre Dame." An agreement with the Catholic University of America is also in the works.
Foust said students who are successful in engineering love to solve problems and are interested in the practical side of mathematics and science. During a class in the Electrical Circuits course in January, Foust discussed temperature sensors, and brought in devices to demonstrate concepts.
"My approach is to use a bit of humor in the class, but I also like to use a lot of physical models that includes experimentation," Foust said.
After they obtain a degree in engineering at the cooperative engineering university, Foust said the skills students learn at St. Thomas prepare them to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam.
After graduating and passing the FE exam, a student becomes an engineering intern for four years, and after passing the professional engineering exam, he or she becomes a professional engineer.
Engineering executives must make decisions that have social and cultural consequences as well as technical implications. Foust said he hopes students will learn, not just the skills on the syllabus, but more importantly, critical thinking skills or as engineers like to call it – engineering judgments.
To learn more about the Cooperative Engineering Program at UST, email Dr. Sheila Waggoner, professor and chair of the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Cooperative Engineering, at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 713-525-3818.

Planetary energy imbalance?
The overall global surface temperature is also well modelled in this and other studies. While impressive, this may be due to an error in the forcings combined with compensating errors in the climate sensitivity (2.7 C for a doubling of CO2 in this model) or the mixing of heat into the deep ocean. Looking at the surface temperature and the ocean heat content changes together though allows us to pin down the total unrealised forcing (the net radiation imbalance) and demonstrate that the models are consistent with both the surface and ocean changes. It is still however conceivable that a different combination of the aerosol forcing (in particular (no pun intended!)) and climate sensitivity may give the same result, underlining the continuing need to improve the independent estimates of the forcings.
So how well does the model do? The figure shows the increase in heat content for 5 different simulations in the ensemble (same climate forcings, but with different weather) matched up against the observations. All lines show approximately the same trend, and the variability between the ensemble runs being greater than the difference with the observations (i.e. this is as good a match as could be expected). The interannual variability, predominantly related to ENSO processes, is different but that too is to be expected given the mainly chaotic nature of tropical Pacific variability, the short time period and the models' known inadequacy in ENSO modelling. The slope of these lines is then related to the net heat imbalance of around 0.60+/-0.10W/m2 over 1993-2003, and which the models now suggest has grown to around 0.85+/-0.15 W/m2. The distribution of heat in the ocean in the different runs is quite large (figure 3 in the article) but clearly spans the variations in the observations, which is of course just one realisition of the actual climate.
What does this imply? Firstly, as surface temperatures and the ocean heat content are rising together, it almost certainly rules out intrinsic variability of the climate system as a major cause for the recent warming (since internal climate changes (ENSO, thermohaline variability, etc.) are related to transfers of heat around the system, atmospheric warming would only occur with energy from somewhere else (i.e. the ocean) which would then need to be cooling).
Secondly, since the ocean warming is shown to be consistent with the land surface changes, this helps validate the surface temperature record, which is then unlikely to be purely an artifact of urban biases etc. Thirdly, since the current unrealised warming "in the pipeline" is related to the net imbalance, 0.85+/-0.15 W/m2 implies an further warming of around 0.5-0.7 C, regardless of future emission increases. This implications are similar to the conclusions discussed recently by Wigely and Meehl et al.. Many different models have now demonstrated that our understanding of current forcings, long-term observations of the land surface and ocean temperature changes and the canonical estimates of climate forcing are all consistent within the uncertainties. Thus since we are reasonably confident in what has happened in the recent past, projections of these same models under plausible future scenarios need to be considered seriously.

Green Bay Hosts Viterbo Sunday for Lone Exhibition
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – A highly anticipated Green Bay men's basketball season gets underway on Sunday, at least unofficially. The Phoenix will host Viterbo at the Resch Center in its lone exhibition game before the 2013-14 season begins next Saturday, Nov. 9.
For the past two seasons, Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) and Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) have led the Green Bay men's basketball team as young players. Heading into 2013-14, Brown and Sykes are again the unquestioned leaders on the Phoenix team, but this time as elder statesmen. Brown is a young senior and Sykes is still just 19, but the duo begins next season with a combined 2,092 career points and three All-Horizon League awards. Both are on the Preseason All-Horizon League First Team for 2013-14.
Brown (14.1 ppg) and Sykes (15.9 ppg) headline four returning starters for fourth-year head coach Brian Wardle, who enters his fourth season at the helm of the Phoenix program. A year ago, the Phoenix posted an 18-16 record, finished tied for third in the Horizon League and was a desperation buzzer-beating three away from a title game berth in the Horizon League Championships.
Expectations are high for the Phoenix, a team that was tabbed as the preseason favorite to win the Horizon League. It was the first time since 1995 that Green Bay was picked as the preseason favorite and the first time the Phoenix had two preseason first-team selections.
Junior Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.), who made 18 starts, returns to the Phoenix after coming into his own as a sophomore. The 6-foot-9 explosive post player averaged 6.8 points and 4.5 boards per game and led the team with a field goal percentage of 52.4 which included 21 dunks.
One of only three Phoenix players to start all 34 games in 2012-13, Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) returns as a sophomore. Fouse's rookie campaign included becoming the first freshman to lead the Horizon League in rebounding since 1996, breaking the program's freshman records for rebounds and steals in a season and landing on both the conference's All-Newcomer and All-Defensive teams.
Green Bay will play the first three games of its 2013-14 schedule at home, beginning with Nov. 9 against Northern Michigan, a contest which will be only the second regular season game the program has ever played at the Kress Events Center. The Phoenix hosts No. 20/21 Wisconsin on Saturday, Nov. 16 at the Resch Center.
LISTEN LIVE: Fans can listen live to the game on Green Bay's new radio partner, WNFL 1440 AM. The live audio with Matt Menzl and Cordero Barkley on the call will also be available via GreenBayPhoenix.com or on the Green Bay Phoenix App on IOS and Android devices.
PRESEASON FAVORITES: Green Bay was voted as a slight preseason favorite in the Horizon League in a vote of head coaches, media members and communications directors. The Phoenix received 390 points, just one clear of Wright State in the close preseason poll in league history. It marks the first time since 1995-96 that Green Bay was picked as the conference preseason favorite.
ALL-LEAGUE DUO: Sykes and Brown were voted onto the All-Horizon League Preseason First-Team, finishing second and third, respectively in the voting. Sykes and Brown are the first Phoenix teammates since the program joined the Horizon League to be named to the preseason first-team. Brown was an All-Horizon League first-team pick as a sophomore in 2011-12 and Sykes was voted to the first team as a sophomore in 2012-13.
AMONG THE NATION'S TOP PGs: Sykes was named to the Bob Cousy Award Watch List for the second-straight season. The Cousy Award is handed out annually to the nation's top collegiate point guard. Sykes and Youngstown State's Kendrick Perry were the lone Horizon League players named to the Cousy Watch List.
MID-MAJOR POLL: Green Bay is ranked No. 21 in the CollegeInsider.com Preseason Mid-Major Poll. Three other teams from the field of the Great Alaska Shootout are in the poll, including Indiana State (No. 5), Denver (No. 9) and Harvard (No. 12).
RESCH FOR SUCCESS: During Brian Wardle's tenure as head coach of the Phoenix, Green Bay has excelled on its home floor at the Resch Center. Including a 24-5 mark the past two seasons, Green Bay is 33-9 at the Resch under Wardle. In 2012-13, the Phoenix posted one of the program's signature wins, defeating eventual BIG EAST champion Marquette 49-47 on Dec. 19.
COMPETE, DEFEND, REBOUND: This signature Brian Wardle mantra was on full display in 2012-13 for the Phoenix. In Horizon League play, Green Bay led the conference in rebounding margin, field goal percentage defense and blocked shots. With Fouse grabbing 8.3 boards per game, Green Bay's plus-6.4 was more than four rebounds clear of second place. Aided by a league-best 5.6 blocked shots per game, the Phoenix was also the only conference team to hold opponents below 40 percent from the field.
IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN: Brown will be in select company heading into this season. In fact, Brown will be in a group by himself as the nation's only active player with 1,200-plus points, 600-plus rebounds and 200-plus blocks. The 7-foot-1 versatile post player is a two-time All-Horizon League player and was on the All-Defensive Team in 2012-13. Brown is only the second player in Horizon League history to accumulate those career numbers and is on pace to be the first league player to finish his career with 1,500 points, 750 rebounds and 250 blocks.
FREE AND EASY: Led by Sykes, Green Bay led the Horizon League in free-throw percentage in conference play, shooting 75.2 percent from the charity stripe. Due to both quantity and quality, Sykes was a major reason why. The 5-foot-11 point guard raised his free-throw percentage by nearly 15 percent from 2011-12, hitting 81.5 percent. Sykes got to the line with great regularity, leading the Horizon League and breaking the school record for free throws made in a season with 159. Brown also made more than 100 free throws (109) and enters the 2013-14 season just outside of the program's top-10 with 304 career free throws made.
WELCOMING WISCONSIN: On Saturday, Nov. 16, Green Bay will welcome Wisconsin back to the Resch Center. The Big Ten squad from Madison last played in Green Bay in 2009, with the Phoenix posting an 88-84 overtime victory, the program's lone win in 19 meetings in the series. It will be Green Bay's fourth home game in the series, including the third played at the Resch Center. The Wisconsin and Virginia games mark the second time Green Bay has ever hosted two BCS conference opponents in the same season (Wisconsin and Kansas State in 2002-03).
BENNETT'S RETURN: Phoenix Hall of Famer and all-time leading scorer Tony Bennett will return to Green Bay on Saturday, Dec. 8. This time, Bennett will be the opposition as the head coach of Virginia. The Cavaliers visit the Resch Center after Green Bay has traveled to Charlottesville in each of the past two seasons. Playing for Green Bay from 1988-92, Bennett scored 2,285 points in a Phoenix uniform. The lefty is also tops the program's record books in field goals made (773), field goals attempted (1,501), three-point field goals made (290), three-point field goal percentage (.497) and assists (601).
ALASKAN ADVENTURE: For the first time in 20 seasons, Green Bay will travel to Anchorage, Alaska to play in the Great Alaska Shootout. The tournament runs from Nov. 27-30, with the Phoenix opening the tournament on Nov. 28 against Pepperdine. The eight-team field also includes Denver and Harvard on Green Bay's side of the bracket and TCU, Tulsa, Indiana State and Alaska Anchorage on the other half. In 1993, Green Bay went 1-2 in the tournament and finished in sixth place.
All single-game tickets for the 2013-14 men's basketball season are on sale now at all Ticket Star locations. For more information about season tickets, ticket packages and more, please visit the ticketing page at GreenBayPhoenix.com.

By Rob Kelly
Despite his disappointment at losing his captain, Arsène Wenger has hailed Robin van Persie's professionalism during his time at the Club.
The Dutch striker completed his move to Manchester United on Friday after making it clear he would not extend his stay at Emirates Stadium.
Wenger says the sale is part of the "brutal reality" of top-level football, but says supporters should not forget Van Persie's contribution down the years.
"I am not a specialist on time healing but there will be a frustration [among some fans] of course," the Frenchman said. "He has played for us for eight years, you have to respect what he has done for our club, what he did last year.
"This is a situation that is a completely brutal reality of professional sport. Robin was captain of the team last year and I give him credit until the last minute of the whole season [because] he fought like mad.
"For me that is to be professional. He comes in afterwards and wants to go? I don't like it. But that is being professional again. But being professional until the last minute of his stay at the club.
"He gave 100 per cent and last year he kept us [up] there - it is a miracle we finished third. A big part of the miracle is down to him and you have to give him credit for that."
While Wenger is "concerned" about losing players to clubs offering huge salaries, he believes the implementation of Financial Fair Play regulations means it is a short-term problem.
"It is a concern," he admitted. "But you say we live outside of reality? No, we live in the economic reality that other clubs do not. There are some things we cannot afford to do, it is as simple as that.
"Honestly, I think it is a short-term problem - the world cannot go on like this. You cannot imagine that the world will go on just splashing money out without any return because people will get tired of that as you'll only have a few clubs competing with each other.
"[Financial Fair Play] will make a big difference, how quickly I cannot answer because I am not responsible for putting it in place."

Does anyone know if these exist? I would love to aquire one.
Never heard of one, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Worst case, I guess you could get the gun and buy a threaded barrel for it.
I own a 229 and love it. I carry it concealed rather often even though it is much less concealable than some of my other handguns. I just built a suppressor for a 10/22, and thought about doing the same for a my 229. Can't with the factory barrel.
i have seen them out of stainless steel, not factory though. try gunsnstuff.net
i take that back, sorry. they have them in last years catalog but not on the website anymore. i did look into getting an extended and compensated bbl for my 229 a few years ago and there were a few options out there for threaded too. i'll see if i can find those other catalogs.
Hey Dr. K..you can get a threaded barrel for your 229 from www.barsto.com. I have one (actually it's their extended barrel without the threading since I'm in California for the time being). It works great. Did not require fitting, nice tight lock-up, and just as accurate as the factory bbl.
Thanks I'm gonna check it out
You can also get them from Jarvis. Actually I think mine is from Jarvis, now that I look at it again. http://www.jarvis-custom.com/Product...8/Default.aspx

Orem • Sprinting up the poorly lit stairs at Utah Valley University, Maple Mountain senior Landon Knutzen made good on his one final shot at glory.
A 138-pounder on the best team in 4A wrestling, Knutzen eyed the night he would have a chance to wrestle under the lights with an entire crowd fixated on the mat he competed on.
In fact, he couldn't get it out of his mind.
Last year, Knutzen, then a highly ranked 132-pounder junior, was preparing to wrestle at the Region 8 tournament. He weighed in on the dot at Maple Mountain before jumping on the bus to head to the tournament, but once there, he came in a sliver over.
He couldn't wrestle at region. He couldn't wrestle at state.
So when he defeated Box Elder's Teagan Hubbard 3-0 Thursday night, one of the many Golden Eagle stars finally earned his wings.
"I did it," Knutzen said. "It's what I've been working for, what I've been waiting for and I did it."
He was one of many.
Maple Mountain defended its 4A straight crown from a year ago with ease, going 7 for 9 in Thursday night's 4A finals and finishing with a combined 360 points, 58.5 points ahead of second place Box Elder.
"No matter where I took them, we didn't just win, we dominated," said Maple Mountain coach Justin Judkins.
Thursday night was a typical night for the Golden Eagles.
Senior 120-pounder Britain Carter won his fourth straight state title. Grant LaMont won his third straight, while younger brother Taylor won his first championship. Josh Searle and Jon Wixom also capped off their 2012-13 seasons as best wrestlers in their weight.
Then there was 160-pounder Kimball Bastian.
The Maple Mountain grappler faced off against rival and two-time defending state champion Rasten Yeates of Box Elder in the finals. Earlier this year, Yeates defeated Bastian in triple overtime.
Going into the gold-medal match, Judkins wondered if Bastian, who competed with a torn meniscus in his knee, believed he had a chance to defeat one of the best wrestlers in the state.
"Tonight I looked in his eyes and knew I got him to buy in," Judkins said.
It worked.
Bastian upset the two-time champ in a physical, bloody match with a 5-3 victory.
"The guy who wins last," Judkins said, "he's the champ."
For Carter, completing his four-peat was a feat he was nervous about going in. The future Columbia University wrestler said the pressure was definitely on to become part of an elite group to leave high school wrestling with four state titles.
"You have to be the four-timer," he said, "not the guy who won the first three years and lost his senior year."
Now, Maple Mountain must move forward, both as state champions and as state champions that must replace irreplaceable talent.
"When you get a group of wrestlers who are so good, you get this mentality of, 'We need to be the very best,' " Carter said.
For a second year in a row, the Golden Eagles were pure gold.

Self Service Time & Leave
What is Self-Service Time and Leave?
Self-Service Time and Leave is the University's on-line time and leave tracking system. All staff and student workers use Self Service Time and Leave to record their time and leave. (There are a few exceptions: some departments are continuing to use time capture systems, such as Facilities' Web Daily time system.)
The system is accessed through the Integrated System's Employee Self-Service function. (you will be prompted to log in). You may also use Self-Service for things like viewing your payslip, changing your address, or printing your W-2s.
Need Help?
There are online simulations available for employees and managers. Refer to the online help or the IS Support website for basic navigation questions related to online time and leave. For access to the Integrated System and password resets, please contact the HR Service Center.
Who uses Self Service Time & Leave?
Employees who are required to report hours worked or leave taken, including Classified Staff, University Staff, wage, and student workers. Faculty (both Teaching & Research and Administrative & Professional) and Research Associates do not use the system to track their own time, but need to use it to approve leave if they supervise staff.
How does the System Work?
Staff log in to the Integrated System Employee Self-Service responsibility to see an on-line version of a standard time sheet.
If you are: * Non-exempt Staff (eligible for overtime), you record hours worked and leave taken.
Exempt Staff (not eligible for overtime), you only record leave taken.
Wage or Temp, including Students, you record hours worked.
Managers approve time on-line rather than sign a paper time sheet. Everyone who is designated as a manager or supervisor in the Integrated System has been given access to Manager Self-Service (link requires Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher) through the Integrated System. This tool allows managers to see employment information for all their direct reports, all in one place. Managers can use the Integrated System to approve time, or they can approve directly from an email notifying them that a staff member has submitted a timecard for review.
Timecards will go to whoever is identified as the manager in the Integrated System. It is recommended that departments continue to update the accuracy of their assignments, inactivating assignments and correcting managers.
There are four ways to enter time in the new system:
- By the employee through UVA Employee Self-Service;
- By the manager through UVA Manager Self-Service;
- By a timekeeper through a new timekeeper form;
- From an upload through an interface—for instance, an upload from a time clock.
While all these options for entering time are available, we encourage staff to use the Employee Self-Service option.
What if employees don't have access to a computer?
If you are expected to track your own time, schools and units must make a computer available to you during business hours. In addition, University Human Resources offers computer basics classes to help you learn how to use a computer and navigate to the Integrated System's UVA Employee Self-Service responsibility.
Certain schools and units continue to use their time clocks or their timekeepers to track time; talk to the Human Resources professionals in your area to find out which method you use to track your time. See Timecard Submission.

Guided tour in English: 3 August at 12.00 p.m.
The story of the Glyptotek is inextricably bound up with brewing magnate Carl Jacobsen's love of sculpture. He fell in love first with La Musique – a beautiful, nearly nude woman of marble, playing the violin, the work of the French salon artist Eugène Delaplanche. It is with her that the adventure began and the infatuations took hold, running side by side with Carl's collecting mania. In 1888 he donated his enormous collection of sculpture and other art to the Danish state and thus planted the seeds of what would grow into the Glyptotek, which today houses a world-class collection of sculpture from antiquity and ancient Egypt, as well as French and Danish sculpture from the 19th and 20th centuries. The guided tour takes you round the whole museum, giving us the chance to focus closely on some of the Glyptotek's absolute highlights.
Sculpture Mania – Carl's Grand Passion
Guided tour in English: 3 August at 12.00 p.m.
Free admission to the museum. Tickets for the guided tour: 25 DKK each
There are a limited number of tickets for the guided tours. They cannot be reserved in advance but should be collected from the ticket desk on the day.

Posted by Jost Hoppermann on the Application Development & Delivery Professionals Blog on April 1, 2010
Next week, I will present first results of Forrester's 2009 global banking platform deals survey. A total of 17 banking platform vendors submitted their 2009 deals for evaluation. One year ago, the same set of deals would have represented at least 19 vendors: In the 2009 survey, FIS's deals include those of acquired US-based Metavante, and Temenos' deals include those of acquired French Viveo. These theoretically 19 participating vendors submitted a total of 1,068 banking platform deals to evaluate, a steep increase compared with the about 870 submitted deals for 2008.
We had to classify a large share of these 1,068 banking platform deals as extended business or even as a simple renewed license — if the vendors did not already submitted them with the according tag. Forrester's "rules of the game" did not allow us to recognize further deals, for example, because a non-financial-services firm signed a deal. Overall, Forrester counted 269 of the submitted deals as 2009 new named customers, compared with 290 for 2008. In the past, Forrester sorted the vendors into four buckets: Global Power Sellers, Global Challengers, Pursuers, and Base Players. The Pursuers and in particular the Global Challengers saw only minor changes in the previous years. 2009 has shaken this stable structure, and we will see many vendors in groups they haven't been in before.

Equality Matters To Journalists: Improve Coverage Of Transgender People
In recent weeks, Private Chelsea Manning's court case has brought the reality of transgender military service - and transgender Americans - into focus as few other events have. Unfortunately, it has also reminded us of how ill-prepared our national media is when it comes to covering this important issue.
As a result, we have seen CNN refusing to reference Manning [1] by her preferred name and gender. Meanwhile, Fox News mocked her - and in doing so all transgender individuals - with an insulting and derogatory choice of song to tease one of its segments on the issue [2]. And an MSNBC guest made light of Manning's medical need for hormone therapy [3], mischaracterizing the treatment as simply an attempt to "coddle" her.
Today, Equality Matters is pleased to join more than 40 organizations [4] calling on journalists and media outlets to cover all transgender people with the dignity they deserve as human beings. In Manning's case, she issued a public statement read by her lawyer that explicitly and unambiguously stated that she should be referred to as Chelsea, accompanied by appropriate female pronouns. The Associated Press [5] and The New York Times [6] each rightly have announced that they will refer to Chelsea as she requested, and other media outlets should do the same.
Consider these facts.
According to the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP) [7], 53 percent of anti-LGBT homicide victims in 2012 were transgender women - most were transgender women of color.
According to the report "Injustice at Every Turn" [8] published by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force:
- Transgender people experienced unemployment at twice the rate of the general population, "with rates for people of color up to four times the national unemployment rate."
- Ninety percent of transgender people reported experiencing harassment, mistreatment or discrimination on the job.
- Twenty-two percent of respondents who have interacted with police reported harassment by police, "with much higher rates reported by people of color."
- Almost half of the respondents (46 percent) reported being uncomfortable seeking police assistance.
- Forty-one percent of respondents reported attempting suicide, compared to 1.6 percent of the general population.
Manning's story presents an opportunity for the media to do a better job of telling the experiences of everyday transgender people who are simply trying to live their lives. The media has an opportunity - and the responsibility - to improve its reporting and accurately reflect the lives of transgender people.
GLAAD, which is organizing this effort on the part of more than 40 organizations, has led the way in providing guidance on this issue for journalists, and its media reference guide may be found here [9]. For the full list of organizations participating in today's call, click here [4].

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by Maofan7, Apr 4, 2013.
In this article, Jackie Wong argues:-
Is Jackie right or wrong?
She is right. Too bad so many others haven't bothered to
1) understand the rules of COP
2) hide their hate of Chan
3) understand that it's the judges, not Chan, who give out the marks.
I wouldn't say Chan's victories have been "more than fair" based on IJS rules, but if one takes the time to learn the system then yes, they are understandable.
Perhaps there are some Chan-haterz who are simply using the Worlds decision to bash him even more. I'm upset by the Worlds decision, but I'm no Chan hater: I think he's fan-freakin-tastic. I have nothing against Chan, he's just skating. I do believe he gets a bit of world-champion bonus, but he's not the first and probably won't be the last to receive such treatment.
But I am with those who are not just fine and dandy with the current state of IJS and the way it's scored.
Is this an April fools joke question.
I Agree! Reading some of the comments made by people on here, it seems like a lot of people are stuck in the past and have not bothered to keep up to date with the rules.
Trying to hang on to the so called "glory days" of the 6.0
I don't like Patrick either but he deserves every component he receives.
Then you'd know how obsolete these people's minds are. I believe they do study the new rules - well, some of them do. However, their mind cannot jump out of the old schools. How can you make someone happy with the new things if their mind stuck in the past?
Patrick makes mistakes often. And Patrick wins most of the time. That's where "Chanflation" came from. It was from the people whose favorites lost. Has he really been having the so called "Chanflation"? About 95% of the time, I could say NO! If people insist that there was "Chanflation" going on in most major competitions Chan attended, they should at least admit that there were "Tenflation", "Takahashiflation", "Hanyuflation", "Plushyflation", "Joubertflation", and so on... But no, they chose not to acknowledge those at least equally, sometimes more, questionable marks. Nor would they admit that there were much more truly unexplainable inflations in the old 6.0 system.
Well, it exists but it doesn't exist on purpose to prop up Patrick Chan.
With IJS Skaters whose basics are of a tremendously high quality will win with mistakes over those whose basics are of a lower quality.
In a ridiculously obvious example - put the skater with the worst basics who completes all the elements against the skater with the best basics and mistakes and you can see why they would win. It becomes more complicated when their basics are closer in level.
However, it is not just something about the system that benefits Chan and as time goes on - if there are not changes to the judging - we will see more examples of skaters that are just that good. For instance - we have seen all year that V and T with mistakes will beat other really good teams with no mistakes. There have been similar complaints about Carolina Kostner.
Having just seen them all skate at Worlds - I fully appreciate Kostner's and V and T's and Chan's superior skating. But my main point is - the system rewards fantastic basics -and fantastic basics allow for higher levels and better GOE.
This is not Chanflation - it is the system that rewards the amazing skills of Chan - and V and T and Kostner .
Agreed. So then the question is: Is this really a problem?
Point values and judges' use of program components can be adjusted so that blatant mistakes will be more costly and so that superficially clean programs will be more highly rewarded just for cleanness in addition to whatever other positive qualities they gain points for.
If more changes are made in those directions, it will become less common for better skaters to win even with several mistakes.
But even so, there would still be some occasions when all the best skaters make mistakes and the next-best skater with a clean program is not quite in the top ranks on PCS or attempted base value or quality of successful elements. And so the cleanest program would not win. And observers who believe mistakes should spell defeat will still be dissatisfied.
At the big high-profile events like Worlds, Olympics, GP Final, there will probably be enough good skaters that writing in massive penalties for these mistakes and significant bonuses for superficial cleanness would almost always result in a cleaner skate winning. But at a smaller competition like a regular Grand Prix event, senior B event, or national championship, where there may be only one world-medal-level skater entered, it would still be possible that that skater could be enough ahead of the rest of the field on everything thing else to overcome the stiff penalties.
The only ways to guarantee that performances with certain types or numbers of mistakes will never win would be to disqualify the skater as soon as those mistakes have been verified.
I would be in favor of some effort to minimize the occurrences of good clean programs losing to great-but-visibly-flawed programs, through the means mentioned in my second paragraph. But ultimately I think the sport will continue to value underlying quality over simple lack of visible errors, so it's also important to help viewers appreciate those qualities, the better to understand the results.
YES, without a doubt.
If a similar result occurs at the 2014 Olympic games I predict a huge uproar putting the 2002 Pairs event/result to shame. Figure skating will have zero credibility as a sport.
Is the world a sphere?
Jackie Wong is a terrible writer. Maofan, I'm glad you were able to figure out what the article was about, because I didn't have the patience to plow through it to the end.
Chanflation originally referred to the fact that the judges at 2010 Canadian Nationals really outdid themselves with nationally inflated scores. National champion inflation occurs in many countries.
Is the moon made of cheese?
Chan is underscored in both GOE and PCS. Gettting the scores he deserves he would have an even bigger mistake on the field than he has now. He was robbed of winning the Grand Prix final this year too.
If the judges keep following the rules and no case of corruption is reported like in 2002, why would there be any scandal? Well, I hope there won't be any because a new scandal in the men's event after Lysacek's win in 2010 wouldn't be good for the sport.
Enough that the ISU used the 2002 scandal as an excuse to change the scoring system so that the North-American skaters could win a few titles and medals.
Well, if we're going to paint it like that, then one can turn that around and say that you can't blame them for that since the older scoring system was obviously used to prop non-North American skaters for decades without having to defend their scores. The North American federations ended up changing the institution in their favor. That is of course, if you want to go with that argument.
Not scandal on the same level as in 2002.
But if the results don't match what fans and commentators who have their own opinions of what the rules should be or how the existing rules should be applied, there will be outrage. And if the commentators get outraged, the casual viewers and the mainstream press in that country will as well.
It doesn't have to be as extreme as changing the scoring system. We already have precedent of the ISU changing things around to appease the fans and viewers of the sport such as adding the short program, getting rid of compulsories (although smaller federations were also supporting this), etc.
So should the question be "should Denis Ten have won Worlds?"
I have not seen Denis live but i have Seen Patrick live and at his best as i watched him practice the week before worlds. There is just NOT an ice surface on earth big enough for him. He's amazing amazing. STILL, i do think that Denis Ten gave an incredible performance and was stellar. Under the 6.0 system, he would have won. .The 6.0 system however was more the spirit of the law. The Code of Points is the letter of the law which Patrick was judged by and rightfully won under
I think it is funny though - that some people act as though there have only been results people disagreed with in IJS and that the marking under 6.0 solves everything. Yes - I do agree that with the placements being the way they were after the short - that under 6.0 Denis Ten would have won - if only because the skater in the top 3 who won the free program automatically won the competition. And in this case - it would have made more people more satisfied.
However, would Ten - without a reputation for such programs have had a shot after the short in 6.0? Would he have been in the top 3?
In 6.0 skaters out of the top 3 were "not in control of their own destiny" and in a time when it is arguable reputation made it more difficult for someone of Ten's world standing would he have been given the ordinals to be top 3?
And anyone who tells themselves that figure skating results always made sense to the masses - or even the "experts" under 6.0 has a selective memory!
I think people have a hard time remembering a time where a skater with four major mistakes was still able to win the title over another skater who skated as well as he could have with high technical content (even if it's not the highest technical content) under 6.0. It has happened though. Under 6.0 with the SP and LP and factored placements, is there an argument that Chan deserved to be lower than second in the LP in order for Ten (who may not have been in the top three after the SP) to win?
Although this poll certainly isn't the most reliable measure we have, I do think it's telling. I think the fact that the term has gotten attention in the limited media that covers figure skating coupled with many skating fans have been using that term for the past few seasons indicate that rightly or wrongly, many perceive that Chan can rely on a huge PCS boost to carry him to victories when his LP skates have been less than stellar.
No, but tiny minds think it does
No that shouldnt be the question, as Chan has had many more controversial wins and medals than just the recent Worlds, and has had many far worse ones than this years Worlds to boot. People, including experts, journalists, and fellow skaters alike are just so fed up at this point they are now becoming alot more vocal.
I think so. It happened to Paul Wylie at Olympics, who had a worse international track record than Ten.
Viktor Petrenko's 1992 Worlds winning LP was quite flawed (just watched it the other day), but I don't remember how his competitors skated, even Browning. I was watching Petrenko since he's the last man I could think of who could win competitions a la Chan with flawed performances (mainly jump mistakes).
There have been quite a few skaters who could win with flawed programs. First 2 that come to mind are Kurt Browning and Stephane Lambiel - but they are just the first 2 - I know there were many more. Also - a turnout and or doubling a jump weren't necessarily considered mistakes under 6.0. So if you were to look back at winners under 6.0 without "mistakes" as people are now calling them -there would probably be a ton more if you counted those 2 things as mistakes.
My local commentators of figure skating usually agree with the official judges - about Chan too - and they way prefer the COP to the 6.0 system. Might be the explanation to why scores and results don't get me outraged so easily.

Wheaton College Hosts a Food Summit
Posted on November 7, 2012
Through the collaborative efforts of the Office of Service, Spirituality and Social Responsibility (SSSR), the student food group AfterTaste, Professor Donna Kerner and students of her Anthropology class, FEAST or Famine, all came together to host a series of talks about food. Over the course of three nights conversations were held on food topics ranging from community-supported agriculture (CSA), to genetically modified foods, food deserts, what it means to be organic, what it means to be vegan, and so many more topics of food. The conversations carried from one night to the next.
Table Talk, facilitated by Professor Kerner, was the opening event of the Food Summit. Donna welcomed guest speakers from Crystal Springs Earth Learning Center, and from the organization The Red Tomato, both from Plainville, MA. On the second night of the Food Summit, students welcomed a guest speaker from the Humane League who talked about animal rights, unethical treatment of animals and the inhumane conditions and poor practices that still exist in many food industries. The final event of the summit was much more positive. This event, How to Start a Working Farm, provided a first hand account of two young women from Rosasharn Farm, who did just that, becoming farmers while still in college.

My issue with the idea of "hipster racism," which I detailed in EXCESSIVE LENGTH over at Sady's blog, is that it assumes both middle-class whiteness and hipster are universal groups with the same ideas without acknowledging the inherent bias and falseness of that assumption. It says, "White, middle-class people do this," and, "Hipsters think this," which is simply wrong because it attempts to speak of huge, diverse groups as a singular entity. You would never, ever be in the right to say, "Women do this," or, "Black people think this," because that is sexist and racist to do, especially if you don't self-identify as part of that group. Yet, here, it is acceptable because feminists are saying it about ill-defined, non-protected groups. I feel that when one generalizes, terms like, "In my experience," or, "Frequently," go a long way to make something about individuals, not collectives.ReplyDelete
Thanks for all of your shout outs!ReplyDelete
And I will be continuing my Breast Implications series, but will not post as regularly. I have just finished up with posting about my previous research. I'm glad you enjoyed it though. I certainly had a lot of fun with the project!
That kind of talk is feminist bread and butter, though, and (at least in principle) one's supposed to be cognisant of the fact that when you speak of a class, what you say doesn't apply to every individual. The practice often lacks, of course, but that's the principle. What's being said is supposed to be about the collective, not the individuals at all.
From a practical perspective, of course, there's almost nothing where one can be absolute in this way. So the acknowledgement shouldn't be needed, in principle. So I can acknowledge that twenty-something white guys are libertarian dipshits while still being a twenty-something white guy who's a godless foreign communist, and I don't think it's inconsistent.
In reality, of course, it's all perponderences anyways, unless you go to fairly esoteric metrics. (For the feminist context, for instance, the only think I know of where men and women are different by more than a factor of 10 is the rate and which we kill (and are killed by) police. But it's quite regular to say "men do X" or "women do Y", to mean the rates are different by a factor of 3-10. It's fair to call people out on the need to be more explicit, but I don't think she's assuming that it's universal.
Great roundup!ReplyDelete
I had some issues with the "Hipster Racism" article too. I think this is more of a "White people" problem than a "Hipster" problem, specifically young white people. Also, hipsters are not all white. The loosely defined "hipster" community is pretty diverse. I've been labeled a hipster consistently since I was about fourteen (I'm twenty-two) and I'm black. I was middle class as a teen, now I'm "working poor." Most of the people I know/knew in my age group who are labeled "hipsters" are lower-middle class or working poor.
I agree with Sady about "ironic" racism and sexism being unacceptable and a troubling trend, but it's a "young white kids" issue in my opinion, not a specifically "hipster" one.

Bangor boasts gaudy ground game
BANGOR, Wis - Meet Adam Meyers.
"You know, Adam's a little bit bigger, at about 207," said Bangor Head Coach Rick Mullenberg.
Alex Peters.
"Alex is a tough kid, a little bit shorter."
And J.J. Hundt.
"He's the only junior starting out of the guys back there."
Together, they've combined for almost 2,000 rushing yards through six games!16865262
"I knew we had three good running backs coming in," Mullenberg said. "We've just never had all three that have had the capibility of these guys."
"I didn't expect it," said senior running back Alex Peters. "But it is what it is. We're all happy about it. I mean you can't really complain about three 100 yard rushers each game."
Each game? How about every twelve minutes?
By the time the dust settled against Wonewoc Center, the Cardinals had racked up 303 rushing yards in the first quarter.
"I mean we thought we'd put up big numbers, but 303 in the first qurter? That's amazing," Peters said.
Bangor is practicing the same way they play: with all three running backs in the backfield at once. That means the pressure is off quarterback Caleb Miller. He's only thrown 11 times this year.
"Our offense, sometimes we don't need it. Our running game is great," Miller said.
"No, he doesn't throw the ball a whole lot," said junior running back J.J. Hundt.
But against Wonewoc Center, Miller actually threw the ball five times.
"Yeah, that was like five more than most games," Miller said.
"We gave Caleb a hard time about having to ice his shoulder," said Mullenberg. "But with the three backs back there, doing what they do, we would just get in a rhythm and it was tough for me to call a passing play, but I know I have to."
"It's just really fun and just the success we're having to top it off," said senior running back Adam Meyers. "Because we could be losing game and then it wouldn't be fun. But since we're winning games it makes it a lot better."

Buffalo brings back Ellis
Sabres re-sign forward Ellis to 1-year contract
'A gritty fourth-line player, Ellis rejoins the team for a third season after setting career-highs with 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) and 72 games played last year. The signing was announced by the team as Ellis celebrated his 29th birthday on Tuesday.'
Sabres Re-Sign Forward Matt Ellis
'Ellis (8/31/1981, 6', 212 lbs.) spent last season in Buffalo where he set career highs in games played (72), points (13) and assists (10). Ellis, who turns 29 today, now has 33 points (13+20) in 187 career NHL games with Buffalo, Los Angeles and Detroit.'
Tim Kennedy Ready for New Opportunity With Rangers
"If you would've told me at the beginning of the summer that I wouldn't be playing for the Sabres next year, I would've been really shocked," Kennedy said. "But (New York is close) to home. I'm still in the conference. It's far enough where I'm away from (Buffalo), but it's close enough where my family and friends could still come and see me whenever they want to."

Kennedy agrees to deal with Rangers
'Buffalo has less depth, one fewer young player with potential and is paying for someone no longer on the roster. It's costing the Sabres $333,333 to buy out his contract. They could have paid him the extra $200,000, kept him and waived him after the season or traded him during the year and received something back in return.'
McKee Bides His Time While Waiting for Another Shot
"Beer leagues I've gotten the best offer from," the free agent defenseman joked earlier this week after he skated with some other local players at the Amherst Center.
Sabres Ink Stuart to Two-Way Deal
Two years ago, the Sabres claimed Matt Ellis on waivers during the preseason. Eventually, Ellis carved out a fourth-line role. Last August, they inked Cody McCormick, and then recalled him during the postseason. McCormick signed a one-way deal in July.

Sabres ink F Stuart
'The 28-year-old has 51 games of NHL experience with Atlanta from 2007-09 and has eight goals with five assists during that time. Those totals include four short-handed tallies.'
Sabres sign forward Colin Stuart
'Stuart (7/8/1982, 6'2", 205 lbs.) spent last season with the AHL's Abbotsford Heat where he was fourth in team scoring with a career-high 36 points (17+19) in 67 games. The native of Rochester, MN, has 51 games of NHL experience with the Atlanta Thrashers from 2007-09, collecting 13 points (8+5) including four shorthanded goals.'
Europeans fear talent pool will dry up
'"If I seem conflicted up there, it is because I am," Regier said. "We're working in a system where we're competing with other teams in the National Hockey League and we're trying to figure out how to take the system and best utilize it for our purposes of winning hockey games. As soon as you make that investment and you draft that player, now you have two years to sign him, and once you place your bet on that individual you want to take control of that individual more often than not."'
Kennedy looking for right fit
'"I'm not mad at them," Kennedy said. "I'm 24 years old. I'm a professional athlete, and I have to act like one. .C.C. Maybe it was the right call and maybe it wasn't the right call. I made the choice to go, and I live with that choice."'

THIS WEEK: Friday, August 24th 2012 @ 7:30 pm
(Rebroadcast Sunday @ 11 am )
AKIN UPROAR: Its the local political story that led most national TV newscasts this week. Congressman Todd Akin and a handful of words he may live to regret. The Republican nominee for U-S Senate in Missouri claims in a TV interview that rape victims have a biological ability to fend off pregnancy. While Akin says he simply misspoke, almost the entire leadership of the Republican Party are quick to distance themselves from the man they hoped would unseat Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill and help the GOP regain the US Senate. Four former Republican Senator's from the Show-Me-State call on Akin to withdraw from the race. Current Missouri U-S Senator Roy Blunt also pushes Akin to drop out. And even Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney says for the good of the party Akin should bow out. But Akin ignores the overwhelming chorus of disapproval from his party's establishment. Why? Does he still have a path to victory in November?
YODER SKINNYDIP LANDS HIM IN HOT WATER: On the other side of state line, Kansas Congressman Kevin Yoder has spent much of his week apologizing to his constituents after a published report revealed the freshman Republican swam nude in the Sea of Galilee during a private fact-finding trip to Israel last August. The influential Washington based news source, Politico reported the incident on its website over the weekend and claimed the FBI investigated the trip, which included several other lawmakers. Yoder, admitted he dove into the sea "without a swimsuit, but was only in the water for about 10 seconds." Christians consider the Sea of Galilee a holy site where the Bible says Jesus walked on water. The incident made big news though. Including being the subject of David Letterman's TOP 10 list Monday night. Does the incident warrant national news coverage? Why has it taken a year for this story to surface? Why would the FBI get involved in this story? Were any laws broken?
GOOGLE DIVIDE: Will many local schools, libraries and other public buildings end up missing out on what was supposed to be Kansas City's big digital revolution now that Google has come to town with promises of hundred times faster internet connections? As the September 9th pre-registration deadline for signing up for Google Fiber looms, a glaring gap is appearing between rich and poor neighborhoods in Kansas City. If not enough people in your neighborhood agree to pay a $10 online registration fee by September 9th, then Google will not hook up that area. And as Mary Sanchez observes in a column in the Kansas City Star, that means those schools and libraries most in need won't be getting the free service they thought they'd be getting either. So far, most of the area's that have not signed up are in the lower-income east side of Kansas City.
"NO MORE GLASS" AD: A half-page advertisement calling for Kansas City Royals owner David Glass to step down as the team's owner appeared this week in the Kansas City Star. According to the media watch site Bottomline Communications, the ad buy would have cost more than $5,000. Who's behind this campaign and is there any substance to this movement?

Since then, Don't Stop Dreamin has made seven trips to the winner's circle. On Friday night, she'll take aim at some bigger dividends in the $60,000 Witches Brew Stakes at the Meadowlands.
That keen instinct has been rewarded with $190,000 in earnings, seven win photos and two years of campaigning a filly that has proven worth much more than her bargain claim price.
On Friday night she'll make just her second start in a stakes race. She finished third in the Klassy Briefcase Stakes at Monmouth Park on July 19.
"She was impeded in that race," Broome said. "Had that not happened, we probably would have won it."
Don't Stop Dreamin returned from that 5 1-2 furlong stakes try to go two turns in her last two outings. She finished fourth in both those allowance efforts, the last coming on August 31.
"She's much better going shorter," said Broome. "The short allowance race didn't fill, so it was either the distance races or not run at all. We've given her a little bit of time since her last and she should be ready to go on Friday."
As for strategy in the $60,000 Witches Brew, "We'll be stalking from her inside post and look to get outside for the drive."
A full field is set to contest this year's Witches Brew, including last year's winner, Weeks, who has drawn 12 post.
The entire field, with rider and weight assignments, is:
1. House Quest, Joe Bravo, 119
2. Don't Stop Dreamin, C. H. Marquez Jr., 119
3. Hi Beautiful, Abel Mariano, 119
4. Anofficerandalady, Hector Ramos, 119
5. Sheets, Daniel Centeno, 121
6. Beau Dare, C. C. Lopez, 121
7. Sort of Tricky, Channing Hill, 119
8. Heckuva Good Time, Rajiv Maragh, 119
9. Lady Rizzi, Cornelio Velasquez, 121
10. Suzee Sunrise, Jose Velez Jr., 119
11. Ahvee's Destiny, Stewart Elliott, 121
12. Weeks, Anthony Black, 119
13. (MTO) All Giving, Jonathon Joyce, 119
14. (MTO) D'wild Ride, Channing Hill, 116
Meadowlands Racetrack is the best bet for thrill seekers on Halloween.
A costume party, co-sponsored by 105.5 WDHA FM, gets under way at 7 p.m. in Pegasus Restaurant. Admission is free to those who come in costume. The festivities include Captain Morgan Rum drink specials, complimentary appetizers and an appearance by the Morganettes. Betting vouchers and iPods will be awarded for best costume.
Guitar Hero stations will keep guests entertained between races. Plus, partygoers can compete in a free handicapping tournament for cash and iPods. The chance to present a trophy in the winner's circle is also up for grabs.
On the track, the annual Grey Ghost Handicap features a phantasmic field of all grey horses, while the wickedest fillies will fly in the Witches Brew Stakes. The frightening festivities take place from 7 - 10 p.m.

State land 4x4 vehicle rules
I have been hearing that there is nowhere to wheel in Michigan anymore. I just wondered when it all changed. I used to wheel on state land all the time in the 90's. I wheeled in northern Gladwin County(Meredith) up to Houghton Lake. I saw CO's on many occasions. I usually always stopped and talked to them even when we were on the power lines, and running in 4wd. They were always friendly, never told us we were doing anything wrong. They asked us if we had seen a certain vehicle because they thought he was poaching. They asked us if we had good recovery gear incase we got stuck.
Now it looks like if they see anyone they are ticketed. Is this all because of the 1994 Public Act 451 and the redefining of the term "Forest Road"? It looks like the redefining of one word in a 1200 page Bill keeps the public off public land. None of the forest roads can be traveled by a 2wd car in the winter so I guess we can't use them then. Most are sandy and not "hardpacked" so a car couldn't drive it so they must be off limits also.
Is this what the lawmakers intended with that rewording? To shutdown most state land to trucks, and give the DNR more power? I was up in the Meredith area last fall and there were locked gates and dirt hills blocking trails everywhere. If they changed the law in 1994 why did they wait so long before starting to enforce it?

well I think you will find it started before `91. the fact Gov. Engler gave the DNR director executive power is beyond stupid. the fact he closed all the rec areas to offroad use of any kind was another stupid move. but the reality is the treehuggers have this state lock stock & barrel. the majority of tax payers don't have a clue how this state is tweeked by the DNR. the fact theres almost nothing in a 3 hour ride of Detroit is just the first barrier. the people who have been leaving the state when they lost their jobs and homes is just the first step to the DNR having total control. if theres nobody to bitch about what they're doing they can close it all.
gee I wonder who is going to pay when we're all gone?
by the way the state past a law in `94 saying it would provide a south east michigan offroad area which they have yet to deliver on.

Maybe this is a down state thing but up here in Mecosta / Osceola / Manistee counties we have miles upon miles of powerline trails that traverse the state lands. Just last week I saw a whole convoy of 4x4's crossing US 10 from the powerline trails heading south into the Manistee National Forest. I see some of the areas I used to wheel in as a kid are gated off now but that seems to be to property owners doing not the DNR. This is a good discussion and I hope somebody has an answer...it was always my understanding that if you had an ORV sticker you were considered good. Then again laws change and I haven't lived in this state since 97' so possibly I have no idea what I'm talking about!

It seems like this power grab was done under the radar. They waited before enforcing it. It appears that they didn't want anyone to notice a big change. They would just slowly start ticketing more people and putting up more gates on state land. Try not to do too much at once to upset people, just do it slow enough so that before we knew it most everything was shut down, and what is open they can ticket you for driving on "at their discretion"
Its like the story of the frog in pot of water. Turn the heat up really slowly and he will just sit there until he's dead. If you turn it up too fast he will jump out. The DNR didn't want us to rally and make a big deal so they slowly snuck all this stuff through, and now we wake up and go what happened?!?!?
This state sucks!
We should plan a day and go to Lansing and fill the streets up with 4x4's in protest. Not that anyone in govt would care. They would just give everyone tickets for stupid things like tires sticking out of fenders and make a bunch more money off us.

The biggest 2 issues with showing up at he Capitol are:
1) The Permit process is NOT easy or friendly
2) It MUST be done during business hours. How many people would take a day off work to do this? The numbers drop off significantly.

This is the ONLY group actively working to improve our situation, the only group openly lobbying. Yet EXTREMELY few wheelers support them by joining so that the Association can use the dues money for the cause and count each wheeler in their lobbying efforts. You need BIG numbers and the money to back it up to get what you want out of government. Wheelers seem to expect GLFWDA to do it while the very people they represent tie one hand behind their backs, yet somehow GLFWDA is still able to accomplish great things. Imagine what they could do if everyone joined! (The NFS estimates that there are over a million of us in Michigan alone).

I know how it goes about the trespassing ticket. I was told a couple years ago by a county cop that where I was driving was a horse trail and no motor vehicles where aloud back there but the sign at one end said it was a seasonal road but that didnt matter.

Colgate: Concerns Over EM Slowdown Overblown; Morgan Stanley Upgrades To Buy
More than half (55%) of Colgate-Palmolive (CL)'s earnings come from emerging markets. By comparison, its large cap peers, Procter & Gamble (PG), Clorox (CLX), Kimberly-Clark (KMB), and Church & Dwight (CHD), on average generate 27% of their earnings from EM.
Investor concerns over emerging markets slowdown are weighing Colgate's stocks down. Year-to-date, Colgate gained 15%, compared to an average of 22% gain from its peers above, or S&P 500's 19% advance.
Morgan Stanley's analysts Dara Mohsenian, Bob Doctor and Victor Cruz think such concerns are overblown, thus creating an entry point. The broker upgrades this stock to Buy with a $68 target price.
Colgate's defensive business mix and low price points can insulate the company from EM slowdowns:
We believe CL's defensive business mix (more so than peers) and its low price points (both relative to peers and in an absolute sense given the low-ticket nature of its product categories) have insulated the company from the slowdown in emerging market macros in 1H13.
Why is CL More Defensive? The defensive nature of CL's product portfolio is highlighted by the lack of historical correlation between Colgate's organic sales growth and weighted GDP growth (3% inverse r-squared relationship).
Colgate has a very low 6% private label penetration in its product categories, according to US Euromonitor data, which limits trade-down risk. Furthermore, Colgate's price points are only 9% above private label products and at a 15% average discount to the industry, which also limits trade down risk when macros weaken. [Barron's: consumers are unlikely to switch to cheaper private label products because Colgate is already very cheap!]
Colgate's emerging markets growth has held up well this year, registering 11%, 1 percentage point above its 2010 growth. Meanwhile, P&G's emerging markets sales have slowed by 1.85 percentage points.
Colgate last traded at $59.3. The MS price target gives 15% upside.
