Students use GPS to track their rides
Friday, September 6, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
GPS technology is helping keep Pittsburg State University students safer.
Beginning this week, students can use their smart phones to locate the free Gus Bus to determine where it is on its fixed route and estimate when it will arrive at their location. The Gus Bus operates between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
"The Gus Bus completes its route about every 30 minutes, but being able to track the bus on its route will help students know how long the wait will be," said J. T. Knoll, Student Prevention and Wellness coordinator. "Knowing when the bus will arrive may help deter a student from making a poor choice about walking or driving when they shouldn't"
The technology to make the tracking service available is readily available and inexpensive, Knoll said, thanks in no small part to the work of Gregor Kalan, Director of Web Marketing, who set up the service on the Pitt State home page. Students should find it easy to use, he said. They simply click on the icon on the PSU home page, which will appear only during the hours when the Gus Bus is operating. They will then be able to watch the bus as it moves along its proscribed route.
The Gus Bus, funded through the Student Government Association, uses a SEK-CAP van that travels a route connecting the campus, major apartment complexes and downtown Pittsburg. The Gus Bus is a supplement to, but does not replace the SafeRide program, which has been in place for a number of years. Students who need rides outside of the Gus Bus route are encouraged to call SafeRide at 620-719-0135. SafeRide operates between 11 p.m. and 2:30 a.m. Tuesday through Saturday and also relies on a SEK-CAP van.
Knoll said that while one of the goals of the Gus Bus program is to keep drivers who have been drinking off the roads, there are many other safety benefits to students.
"I can imagine any number of scenarios in which students might want to use SafeRide or Gus Bus," Knoll said. "For example, you're out and your car breaks down. You've been studying late at the library and don't want to walk alone to your apartment. You're out with friends and want to go home, but don't have a ride back to the residence hall. There are a great many situations in which students may wish to use this service."
In fact, Knoll said, they already are. Usage of both SafeRide and Gus Bus continues to increase.

Clean Macintosh iTunes Library By Batch Removing Dead Tracks
A friend asked me to help him clean up his iTunes library on his iMac the other night so I asked him to bring it by. When he did I realized what had happened which is he had moved the location of his iTunes folder from his computer to an external drive. After moving the folder he imported all of his music again which caused iTunes to think his 8,000 MP3's had become 16,000 MP3's. Half of the tracks had red exclamation points by them because iTunes had information about them but could no longer locate the file since he had moved all of the music to a new folder in a different location. I found an easy solution to resolve this problem on a Mac which I describe in detail below.Details

2015: Pathways to Resilience III
540 delegates
46 countries
300 presentations
Thank you to everyone who attended Pathways to Resilience III. We had 540 delegates from 46 countries in attendance, along with 300 presentations overall! We really appreciate you being here!
The RRC, along with their partners in more than 20 countries, invited many researchers, academics, policy makers, and front-line staff to an international gathering exploring the theme "Pathways to Resilience: Beyond Nature vs. Nurture", at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2015.
The conference explored many different aspects of resilience, and how the theory is informing research, practice and policy on a global level. Building from the first two highly attended conferences in 2005 and 2010, Beyond Nature vs. Nurture encouraged discussions that examined the protective and promotive processes associated with resilience around the world, as well as how to design clinical interventions, human service systems and social policies that contribute to sustaining resilience. The event began with pre-conference workshops on June 16th, followed by the main event which welcomed an international roster of keynote and plenary speakers, including Ann Masten, Catherine Panter-Brick, and Joop de Jong.

Every household should have its own economic stimulus package. In our case, it's a yard sale -- the ultimate in recycling.
Memo to White House:
Out here in the hinterlands, where dogs run free and children frolic safe and worry-free in the warm sunshine, we have discovered a sure cure to our nation's economic doldrums. If everyone could get together and hold one gigantic yard sale, we could raise enough money to bail out the banks, the automakers and my wife, Posh's, Visa account. Yard sales are like free money. They may replace income taxes. Just don't let that Paulson guy near the cash box.
Sincerely, Posh's husband
(future Secretary of Yard Sales)
For us, the yard sale could not have come at a better time. First, we are broke. Second, we are gridlocked in our own home, all four kids back under one roof. We could not fit one more sweater into our overstuffed closets, which probably contain unworn clothes from last year's Christmas.
In fact, Posh scolded me for selling a Bill Blass tie she bought me as a gift, whereupon I had to explain to her that women buy neckties for color, and men buy neckties for the way the fabric falls nicely against the shirt. It's one of the fundamental differences between the sexes. That and facial hair.
Anyway, we have this yard sale, during which we unload a lot of junk: bad books, broken toys, garden supplies, old love letters, half-smoked cigars, a deck of cards (with only 30 cards), chipped vases, a baby hamster, pieces from a Yahtzee set, a Kenny Rogers shot glass, the shoelace from a snowboard boot, a big box of pine cones, a Hula-Hoop and some sort of drinking game I never really understood.
"You sold the drinking game?" asks Posh, near tears for the first time since our wedding night.
"Around here, all games are drinking games," I remind her.
One guy even tries to buy my car, the Little German, which doesn't have a "For Sale" sign on it. He offers 3 grand more than I'm hoping to eventually get, which I take as some sort of trick, or an indication that he is crazy nuts. Trust me, I deal with enough crazy nuts in my life already.
"Dad, you're always selling stuff too cheap," growls the lovely and patient older daughter, who sits near the cash box, looking uncharacteristically glum.
"First rule of business," I say. "Smile at the customers."
"I'm going back to bed," she says, and so she does.
She is replaced by the little girl, or as I've taken to referring to her, Mini-Posh. Mini-Posh turns out to be more bored than even her lovely sister. She yawns a few times, then inquires about lunch.
"Whatever you're fixing will be fine with me," I tell her, after which she yawns again and goes back to bed too.
Aside from those little hiccups -- heck, even the Dow Jones has a bad day once in a while -- this yard sale is capitalism at its very finest. We find loving homes for a bunch of crud we no longer want. It was so easy. Posh posted the time and place on Craigslist, then the little guy and I went around town nailing up some bright orange signs, giving our village an eerie Halloween glow just in time for Christmas.
And by the hundreds they came, all types of people, all sizes, all flavors, a lovely cross-section of Los Angeles: Latinos, Armenians, Koreans, Eskimos, a smattering of Jews.
Gypsies were there, as were a couple of folk singers, and every gun nut on the planet. Old, white men in beards always want three things: tools, tools or guns. We have precious few guns in our inventory, though Posh does sell a Makita drill I no longer need, for $2.
With that drill, I rewired and re-plumbed an entire house, renovated 14 rooms, built a 1,500-square-foot deck, hung about a dozen ceiling fans, and bored holes in kids' toys where the factory forgot to. It had plenty of life still in it, that old drill. Someone got a good deal for $2. A drill with a sense of accomplishment.
A few minutes later, the little guy sells his very first tricycle, which he's outgrown, for $2 more. Emboldened, he then tries to sell the shoes off his feet for a buck apiece. Generally, the consensus is we're underpricing.
"You should ask $20 for those mountain bikes," suggests one customer, who goes on to tell Posh that for 27 years he and his wife have spent Saturday mornings grabbing coffee together, then cruising the yard sales.
"That's sooooo romantic," Posh says.
"Beats having kids," I mumble.
"There are only three yard sales in this area today," the stranger tells me. "You should do well."
In fact, we do do very well. A bunch of strangers pay me hundreds of dollars to clean out the house. I discover what romance really is (visiting yard sales), not to mention the going market rate for a big bag of old tube socks (50 cents).
You know, this economy might be turning around after all.

And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
Echoplex wrote:The production will be the same.
A show like theirs costs a fortune to design, construct and then tour with. They won't invest more money into something that only lasts two or three weeks at most.
If anything it would be scaled back, like Brian's Back To The Light winter leg when he returned to Europe/Uk for a handful of dates. I really don't see Queen taking that route, and remember there are still areas the tour hasn't visited yet.
What would be nice and vaguely possible is one or two different songs when they play London having played those venues before. But how knows they haven't played the first of the upcoming leg they might already have a couple of different songs lined up

snifflese wrote:Why in the world would they start rehearsals now? They just finished up the tour yesterday or the day before??? At this point in tim they should be pretty well practiced as there is a short amount of time between tour sections. I would skip "What do you want from me", which I have never cared for and play" Lucy", which is much more of a rock song and which Brian did play on. That song would fit right in! I hope there is a change in a couple of the songs, but I pretty much like anything they play. No complaints from me, but I would love "Save Me".

With a better pricing strategy we can open the arteries to the cities and towns, moving the work force better and reducing the carbon footprint.
Your Views
Something like this needs to be under one umbrella to make sure things run smoothly and be sure that maintenance is properly carried out on a regular basis.
Re-nationalise now.
I'm sick to death of being ripped off to pay shareholders.
A railway is a social service and should be not-for-profit, at the lowest possible fares for all. Britain's railway system is too expensive for many buying on the day.
I would like to see the rail, water, electricity and gas nationally and not privately owned.

End the Rail Rip-Off! protests are taking place at stations across Britain today against rail fare increases of 2.8% from January 2020. As the Department for Transport announce First Group are to take over the West Coast rail franchise from London to Glasgow from December, join us at 5pm at Glasgow Central Station for a Protest for public ownership of rail! 🚆Just in: Passengers are to be hit by a 2.8% rail fare increase.
We've just been outside Kings Cross to say loud and clear that the public have had enough of the rip off. We need Keith Williams, head of the government's rail review to recommend public ownership now! ...
How can adding 2.8% too fares be fair. When Transport for Wales services are even worse than when Arriva Trains Wales ran the service with cancellations galore, dirty and in kept rolling stock.
Be good to see some collated benefits vs year on year fares increase "reasons given" for say the last 10 years. I also believe theres much jam tomorrow schpiel wheeled out by each subsequent "head of communications" of these money grabbing companies. Soon we will all be working just to a) keep the roof over our heads and b) paying to get to work to cover a). This country is going backwards. Cut cut cut in services (not just railways) but increase increase increase on prices.....
As I am very unwell.
The other side of this is that the Government needs to explain why fuel duty has not risen in line with RPI for the last 7 years. This represents a significant subsidy to the motorists. And, indeed, does the Government have any strategic transport policy?
Keith should definitely be under public ownership. It's clear Bring back steam, slam door carriages and strikes. The good old days
Railways are for public transport not for private profit.
benefits either frozen or up only by CPI, fares up by RPI. A national scandal
A video I took on Friday of last week This is not acceptable
Is the chao called Beeching still around to help?
everybody should publicly own keith.
Who is Keith?
Sorry I couldn't make it yesterday.

Utterly ridiculous, I'm from Rotherham South Yorkshire and a disabled manual wheelchair traveller here is what BBC ceefax say's in my area. Northern has admitted that some of it's heavily - criticised Pacer trains will be used in South Yorkshire next year, despite a pledge to remove them. The rail firm began rolling out it's new trains in June, saying it would take all Pacers out of use by 2020. It later said some of the trains - which no longer comply with disability access rules - would be around for longer. A spokesman confirmed " a small number would be used in South Yorkshire" So according to the head of the railway system has said, as he said after this year's ticket price hike, it will mean more public and private money generated from the price rise will be invested in better trains, less delays, less crowded trains and less cancellations, how come year on year ticket price increases have, from my experience, had little, if any, effect on all the above issues and further as a Northern Rail disabled user if Pacer trains no longer comply with disability access rules surely using Pacer trains where tickets and Passenger Assistance has been booked for a disabled person like me is breaking disability access rules and therefore disabled passengers should have a right to take Northern Rail to Court where their scheduled journey is on a Pacer train. I have booked, in advance, to travel from Rotherham Central to Sheffield this Friday and I have absolutely no doubt that it will be a Pacer train when I am at Rotherham Central and when I return from Sheffield to Rotherham Central I will upload pictures of the trains that turn up. This price hike like all the past price hikes has little to do with improving the trains and all the continuous over crowded, late and indeed cancelled trains more I firmly believe it is in the interests of shareholders.
you don't own nothing all sold off by the tories to foreign governments

Southern Fail even got its charter renewed and the fares go even higher. No wonder they have separated themselves from inter-rail - Naples to Rome return for £20 which won't even get you the 60 odd miles to London ....
If renationalisation is illegal, as some here say, then how come the Scottish government have just nationalised the Ferguson shipyard in Port Glasgow??
I cant see it. Would love it if we went back to excursions and reliefs and diversions with an end to the rail replacement bus but imagine the legal costs involved in paying off all the existing moneygrabbing shareholders.
The politicians will never do it - it's all down to the money involved 😣
All public services should be renationalised! Public transport, water, gas, electricity! 😤
There was such pride in working on the railways.
I worked for BR and saftey and time keeping along with customer care were paramount. Best of training, working conditions and a general rule that the service MUST work. This is a shite system now.
End of the day those of us that worked under BR and who can be objective about the past openly admit it wasn't perfect. There were many areas that could gave been improved but generally it was a damned sight better overall than the shite were forced to work with now.
Vote Labour and the really important things will be re-nationalised. Don't believe the negativity......the mixed economy will remain. Socialism is not Communism it's just fairness and decent standards for all.
Every other (successful) railway in the world is just one big integrated company that does the whole lot. That's what we had with BR and by and large....it worked and it's only problem was that it was starved of investment by ideological politicians.

I hate rail privatisation, but who honestly believes anyone in this country could run a national rail network? We don't know how to build a nuclear power station (Hinckley Point) so we farmed it out to the French. Why not invite them (SNCF) to run the railway network? Or the Dutch, who already run parts of it. Or the Germans...and so on.
As Eric Morecambe said, i am playing the right notes but no necessarily in the right order. So it was with british rail they ran the trains but not necessarily when the table said. So the only difference is that now a private company makes a profit for the failures, so bring it back into public ownership.
The government would be stupid to endorse re-nationalisation. They have the franchisees to blame when things go wrong. How many of the thousands held up at Euston tonight will blame the natikonalised Network Rail for this major failure? How many will complain to the Ministry of Transport for their failings?
But it will never be the same. BR was all about safety safety and safety. Not PPM profits and money. Bringing back BR. Has to include standard raising instead of lower and lower. Job for the boy's and if you do anything for the money.
Football specials and BR sandwiches and Jimmy Saville? No thanks!
"It will also allow the government to ensure that the recommendations of the review being conducted by the former boss of British Airways, Keith Williams, in to the railways, are taken into account. Williams Review will be published in the autumn but he has previously told the BBC government involvement should be limited to overall policy and budget decisions, and the Department for Transport should not manage the system." Here we have another outsider, like Beeching was, telling us how the railways should be run.
Grant Shapps-what on earth does he know about transport? Answers on a post card.
Absolutely, save a lot of money on legal/consultation nonsense to prevent the same franchise wheel with a few tinges of improvement or removing improvements of the past...
Bozza gave transport to that no-mark Shapps? FFS.
I say yes to BRS
All very nice but people want to wake up to the fact that this useless lump of rock in the north sea will never have another state owned rail system.
Not to mention the complexity of our rail network/ pricing almost certainly had a hand in shafting our participation in Interrail. Every other European rail network can apparently handle it, but we're special (and not in a good way). FFS!
It's only because you want to be a trolly dolly😂😂😂🤣

Here's a brilliant take-down of the private bus companies' new propaganda campaign by our friends at Better Buses for Greater Manchester 🚌 Please share and support the campaign for public control of buses: betterbusesgm.org.uk ...
Public transport should be just that. Owned by the public for the benefit of the public. Run to provide an essential service and all profits after a decent payroll for the workers, gets ploughed back into further investment.. NOT into some fatcat CEOs pocket. If fares were cheaper and services more reliable and connected, more people would use it, creating more profit.. Nationalisation makes perfect sense. Privatisation is just to make rich people richer and that's a fact. 🧐
The bus companies have been lying since Earnest Marples said they could take over from the railways in the early 60's. Their idea of running a service is to accept the contract, take the money off the county councils, take ticket money off the public and then try and run less and less buses and reduce the services every year.
In Rotherham we have 2 bus 'services' one is First the other Stagecoach both are appalling and both put profit before passengers

Foreign ownership doesn't work hence why DB are selling Arriva and First Bus are selling up
Great idea - and the railways too.
How ironic - I read somewhere that DB are looking to offload Arriva.
Just sold its ,Manchester garage / services to Go Ahead group. Ageing feet of vehicles , so getting out.
Can we not do this in Southampton after first destroyed it
Its more likely that First will be sold in entirety to Arrival (solely owned by the Federal Republic of Germany) or to a Chinese bidder.
First sold their London bus operations to Tower Transit several years ago. This particular bus started life with First London - hence the London plate beginning LK. Similar double deckers have been cascaded down to operations elsewhere in vast numbers as TfL is rapidly moving towards 100% hybrids (or in the case of single deckers, usually pure electric).
Wanna bet that Stagecoach will mount a smash and grab?
How times change. The creditable alternative is "Nationalisation".
Great idea - and the railways too.
I agree, we should take back our buses. Look at the damage a single bus did just by putting £350 million a week for the NHS on the side of it. Without that silly bus we would be looking at enjoying our membership of the EU ad Infinitum. Take them back, they ruin countries by persuading the gullible to believe their lies.
Take them back. No unjust enrichment.

Our friends at Guardians of the Arches are fighting against the privatisation of our railway arches which are currently publicly-owned by Network Rail. This would have a devastating impact on all the local businesses, clubs and organisations who use them if new private landlords chose to hike up rents. Say no to privatisation by supporting their Crowdfunder campaign at crowdfunder.co.uk/guardians ...
What's next? Privatising the air above the rails?
How the hell you can sell parts of a viaduct is beyond me.
British rail was crap, I remember it well, oh when they actually run and weren't on strike !!
This is all a bit late ne sale was completed February this year
Shame takes a revenue stream away from Network Rail, guess higher taxes will sort the shortfall
I thought they had already been sold.
Grayling is an absolute catastrophe of a man

Metallurgy takes over once the ore has been extracted and the process of liberating the valuable mineral components and removing the waste rock. It can then begin it journey to the metals that we use in every day life.
Ore Dressing or Comminution is the process of sizing, crushing, milling and grinding ROM ore (Run of Mine Ore) to the desired size required to extract the valuable minerals. Generally the size of flour. The process also consumes vast amount of energy and there is a limit to how small it can be ground before the cost to produce it outweighs the return.
The Primary Crusher is typically the first stage of crushing after blasting and sizing. The majority of ore minerals are disseminated throughout the gaunge (non valuable waste rock) and need to be small enough to break it free of the surrounding rock. The waste rock goes out as tailings.
It is impossible to recover 100% of the valuable ore. But the Comminution process is in the high percentile of capture.
The benefits of Comminution is its saving on Freight costs. Reduced losses of valuable minerals and reduction on the cost of hydro-metallurgy processing later on.
Typical as blasted ore is 10 cm - 1 meter in size and the required end size 0.1mm (tenth of a mm) or lower.
Stage 1 After sizing though a grizzle, trommel or screen. Primary Crushing is by way of a jaw crusher or gyratory Crusher. The later has a higher throughput of ore Size reduction 10cm -1cm
Stage 2 is through a cone or roll crusher. Size 1cm - 1mm
Stage 3 is via ball or rod mill 1mm - 0.1mm
There are also autogenous mills that use the rock itself to impact on itself and reduces balls and rod. But at the cost of lining replacement. These mills have a much larger radius to assist the impact of the falling rock on itself.
It has been found that reducing the ore size in stages is more economical from a power input level that trying to do it all in one go.
Some of the math a metallurgist will work out are size reduction ratios, energy needs, Critical mill speed and valuable mineral processing losses.
Mill speed is to stop the mill centrifuging. 70% is a good level to aim for and most mills operate between 50% and 80% of Critical Speed and can be worked out using the formula Nc = 42.3 / D 1/2
where Nc is the critical speed of the mill in Revolutions per Min and D is the diameter of the mill in meters. This is very basic and other formula incorporate ball diameter and mill diameter.
Reduction Ratio of Screen is E = % of total feed divided by % of what passes the screen. This is normally set at 80% of what passes or P80
Work Input or mill efficiency / comminution theory normally uses the Bonds work index and has limitation to ore size. While mathematically it works for smaller sized ore it has limits in larger size ore. Rittinger in 1850 postulated the crushing efficiency should be related to the surface area and the rocks particle size is normally worked out at 1.75 the area of a cube and in theory it works but in practice it needs between 100 and 1000 times more energy to crush.
Bonds work index is E= 10 Wi (one div the square root of the product minus 1 div the square root of the feed)
It should also be noted the the bonds work equation is worked out in Microns. so 2 mm is 2000 microns
Typical energy requirements
Coarse crushing 0.2 -0.5 kWh / Ton
Fine Crushing 0.5 - 2.0 kWh / Ton
Coarse Grinding 6 - 12 kWh / Ton
Fine Grinding 8 - 25 kWh / Ton
Ore Dressing - Comminution - Beneficiation

I hadn't really taken much notice to Pagani in the past. It's a smaller boutique Italian car manufacturer from Modena producing the Zonda in small quantities. Maybe that would explain why I have never actually seen a Pagani on the road before.
With the retirement of the Zonda being announced last year, a number of questions started forming in my head. Why did I wait so long to learn about Pagani? What could Pagani possibly do to replace a car that set a new record for production based cars which completed the Nürburgring in 6:47 (July 2010) beating the fierce Ferrari 599XX? Lastly, why did Tiger Woods cheat on his wife? Hmmm, much to ponder.
Well, they call it Huayra; no I didn't just sneeze. It's pronounced (wai-rah) and it's named after Huayra Tata, the South American God of Wind. Set to cause quite a storm in Spring 2012, the Huayra is rightfully named due much in part to its active aerodynamics incorporated into the beautifully sculpted bodywork of the car. For starters the Huayra is capable of changing its height and independently operates four flaps, two in front and two in the rear. Each flap moves separate of the other and is managed by a dedicated control unit, much like you would see on a fighter jet upon take-off. These flaps play many important roles, sometimes producing maximum down force or preventing excess body roll and at other times simply slowing down the car by way of air-brakes; very similar to a fighter jet landing on a destroyer.
Underneath all that beauty and technology lies a Mercedes Benz Bi-Turbo V12 (5980cc) borrowed from the SL65 AMG Black Series. By Pagani's request, the turbo lag has been substantially reduced, achieved by smaller turbos and ECU reprogramming all of which equates to producing 700bhp. It rockets from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 230mph. The Huayra utilizes a 7-speed sequential gearbox which is beautifully controlled in the cockpit via its brushed aluminum shifter and shift gate.
The interior of the Huayra has to be one of the most beautifully adorned interiors I have ever seen in a car. The use of brushed and polished metals, carbon-fiber combined with rustic leather and hi-tech electronics really gets my heart racing. I often dream of living in this car simply because of its sheer beauty.
Every detail of the interior is carefully designed and tastefully executed. Even the key is a chrome model of the Huayra, which is centrally placed in the middle of the dash board, as if to be on display like a piece of art work.
The Huayra is more than simply a fast expensive car from Italy. It's a moving gallery displaying a study of contemporary design, encompassing the latest materials, composites, engineering, and electronics of our time. Unfortunately, admission into this gallery will cost you around $1.2M and there only 40 of them a year. Oh did I mention it has Gullwing doors?

Fox Soccer Channel's first Nielsen Ratings have been released giving soccer fans and advertisers alike a glimpse into how many people watch soccer on the network in the United States.
Here are the figures for the opening weekend of October:
- Manchester City v Liverpool, 224,000 viewers
- Blackburn Rovers v Manchester United, 199,000 viewers
- England v Kazakhstan, 176,000 viewers
- West Bromwich Albion v Fulham, 81,000 viewers
And this is how televised games from the other leagues shown on FSC compare to English football:
- Juventus v Palermo, 81,000 viewers
- DC United v Chivas, 39,000 viewers
- Dallas v Toronto, 32,000 viewers
Comparing how many viewers watch soccer games on ESPN versus Fox Soccer Channel, ESPN2's MLS Primetime Thursday has averaged 261,000 viewers through 23 games this season, so the 224,000 viewers for Man City against Liverpool is pretty close. And remember, the game kicked off at 10am ET on a Sunday. What will be revealing is how many viewers Fox gets when Manchester United or Arsenal plays during the 11am ET kickoff time.
Also interesting is how the televised Premier League games did against similar sports programs for males in the 18-49 demographic. On October 4th, Blackburn against Man United had higher ratings than UFC Fight Night On Spike. October 5th's Man City against Liverpool match, meanwhile, had higher ratings than NFL GameDay Morning on the NFL Network. On both days, those Premier League matches almost had more viewers than NASCAR shown on the Speed network.
For me, the biggest talking point from these numbers is that Fox is almost beating ESPN2's ratings for MLS games even though FSC is only in 30 million homes, while ESPN2 is in 96 million homes. Imagine how many more viewers would be watching Premier League football in the United States if (1) the games were shown on ESPN or ESPN2, (2) and the games were shown during primetime.
Of course, it's impossible for Premier League games to be shown in primetime in the United States, but if an idea such as the Premier League Cup happened and one or more of the games were played in the U.S. during primetime, you have to wonder how high the ratings would be.
What are your thoughts about the above ratings? Are they higher or lower than you expected? Let us know by clicking the comments link below.

Lolita is a orca from the Puget Sound off the coast of Washington State, who was captured and stolen from her family four decades ago. You might remember her story from the documentary Blackfish and Lolita: Slave to Entertainment.
She's been languishing in a tiny tank at the Miami Seaquariam. The Endangered Species Act protects members of the Southern Resident orca population, but Lolita has been excluded from being protected–until now.
Thanks to pressure from PETA and the Animal Legal Defense Fund, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) made a decision that could free Lolita. The NMFS agreed that Lolita deserves the same protection as her wild family.
Even if Lolita cannot be truly wild and free, she deserves to live in peace without being forced to perform tricks for food. She hasn't seen another orca in 30 years–a cruel situation for a social animal. A sea pen in the Puget Sound would give her space, natural sounds and sights, and the change to reconnect with her family.
Plus, Lolita's mother is still alive! Reuniting the two would give Lolita a good chance at freedom.
Help now!
Please share your support for Lolita here. Let the government know you support their decision to include Lolita in her family's ESA listing. Please tell them that her current conditions are causing her to suffer, and that you want her moved to a seaside sanctuary in her home waters under expert care.
Comments will be accepted until March 28th, but why wait? Add a brief note now–and help bring Lolita home!

B-CU's two late touchdowns were not enough as the Wildcats' season ends at 9-3.
DAYTONA BEACH -- A furious Brian Jenkins had to be held back by a Bethune-Cookman administrator after a controversial sequence of events cost the Wildcats a touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
After the game a very calm B-CU head coach said it was missed opportunities early and not any of the officials' calls or overturned calls that cost the Wildcats a FCS playoff victory Saturday.
Coastal Carolina scored on three consecutive possessions in the second quarter and Johnnie Houston added a 68-yard interception return in the fourth quarter to give the Chanticleers a 24-14 victory before 5,465 mostly disappointed fans at Municipal Stadium.
The loss ended the Wildcats' season at 9-3. It was their fourth straight playoff loss since 2002 and their second in Jenkins' three years as head coach. Coastal (8-4) won its first playoff game in three tries and will travel to Norfolk, Va., next week to meet No. 4 overall seed Old Dominion in the second round.
"We just didn't execute,'' Jenkins said. "But I'm proud of my guys. It was a tremendous ride. We played the toughest schedule in the conference and our guys never wavered. In three years I think we've established ourselves.''
The Wildcats rolled up 298 of their 420 yards in the second half, but they couldn't overcome a 24-0 deficit.
Jenkins said three bad throws and a dropped pass cost B-CU a couple of opportunities in what turned out to be a scoreless first quarter, and the Wildcats never recovered.
"We overthrew three receivers on what would have been touchdown passes,'' Jenkins said.
B-CU finished the game with 206 yards rushing, just 41 yards below its average, but they managed just 36 yards on the ground in the first half.
"I thought we took away their running game and forced them to pass,'' Coastal Carolina coach Joe Moglia said. "While they were effective with that, they're not a passing team. They got behind us, but they weren't wide open. They still needed to pinpoint passes.''
Coastal quarterback Aramis Hillary (180 yards passing) nearly hit Tyrell Blanks in the end zone on a 29-yard fourth-and-3 pass late in the first quarter, but Blanks dropped the ball.
The Chanticleers atoned for that miscue on their next drive when Marcus Whitener took an option pitch from Hillary and ran 14 yards for a touchdown with 13:50 left in the half. The six-play, 75-yard drive was the first of three consecutive scoring drives for the Chants.
Hillary tossed a 3-yard high fade pass to 6-foot-3 Matt Hazel for a touchdown with 7:23 left in the second quarter. Then the Chants got the ball back at B-CU's 44 after a replay review ruled Jordan Murphy had fumbled after catching a Quentin Williams pass for no gain.
Jenkins charged onto the field to argue with officials.
"He did fumble,'' Jenkins said. "But we had a couple of players in the area of the ball, and they stopped because the officials blew the play dead and their player recovered the ball. I don't know how you can review a play that was blown dead. My argument was you blew the play dead, so that negates everything else.''
Coastal followed with Alex Catron's 35-yard field goal to go up 17-0 with 3:05 left in the half.
Williams, who passed for a career-high 215 yards, was knocked out of the game for three series following a hard blindside hit on a sack by Ladarius Hawthorne in the third quarter.
"I'm all right,'' Williams said after the game. "That's football, you're going to get hit. It was kind of a bad stinger, but I'm good.''
With Williams out, backup quarterback Brodrick Waters led the Wildcats on a long drive following Nick Addison's interception with 3:19 left in the third quarter. Waters' 56-yard option run brought the ball to the Coastal 11. With fourth-and-4 at the 5, B-CU lined up for a field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter, but the Wildcats were flagged for a false start before the kick.
Jenkins marched onto the field again and argued that the Chanticleers were offside, eventually drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. He even called a timeout, hoping to get the call overturned.
"We did not move,'' Jenkins said. "We went down on the play. They went over the line of scrimmage. I got three different explanations.''
With the ball moved back to the 26, Waters connected with Keith Stroud in the back of the end zone. Officials ruled a TD, but the call was reversed by video review. Replays showed Stroud's left hand touched first out of bounds.
At that point, Jenkins tried to run onto the field again but was held in a bear hug by associate athletic director Tony O'Neal.
"It might have looked like (O'Neal) was trying to control me, but when he held me he was really saying things that had me (laughing).''
After Houston's interception return made it 24-0 with 10:26 left in the game, B-CU finally got on the scoreboard on Williams' 74-yard touchdown pass to David Blackwell with 6:44 left. Williams added a 2-point conversion pass. B-CU tried an onside kick but could not recover.
After Catron missed a 37-yard field goal, the Wildcats scored again with 1:22 left on Isidore Jackson's 10-yard run. Williams' 2-point conversion pass fell incomplete. Jackson, who rushed for 77 yards, finished the season with 1,069 yards rushing, the third-highest total in school history.
"We just didn't seize the opportunity,'' Williams said. "I missed Jhomo (Gordon) short and (Keith) Stroud on a wheel route. In the playoffs you have to seize the opportunity. It's a learning process. We're young.''

Before you get all worried..No. I'm not moving back home just yet. You can't get rid of me so easily!
That being said, I'm seriously considering moving out of Hamra and into either Monot, Gemmayze, or Achrafieh. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Hamra – so much so in fact, that I hardly ever leave. But, therein lies the problem! I think I have become a little too comfortable, and am ready to step out of my comfort zone once again, and explore some unfamiliar territory. …meet new people, try new restaurants and pubs, peek into all of the charming boutiques and mom-and-pop shops, and simply meandering the winding streets and seeing where I end up, who I meet, and what I discover along the way.
Yes, I've gone out in Monot, Gemmayze, and Achrafieh maybe a handful of times..but I really want to get to know these ares of Beirut better. I won't be in Lebanon forever (well, never say never I guess), and it would be a shame to leave without to getting to really know these parts of the city.
My landlady has done her part in making this decision easy for me. As of July, she is raising the rent $100, and that just ain't cool. But I have to say, I do live on a pretty prime piece of land (right off of Bliss, near AUB, and 5-10 minutes walk from everything Hamra has to offer). So, I guess I can understand where she is coming from. But stillll!
What do you say?? What would you do if you were me? Stay in Hamra, or move to either Monot, Gemmayze, or Achrafieh..and why? And here comes the all important question. Does anyone know of an apartment in those areas available for rent? I know I have to get a move on it, as finding an apartment here literally means going door to door and talking to the "natour" of every building, and with the Summer season coming up, I need to start on this like YESTERDAY so that the prices don't go through the roof.. Speaking of "talking to the natour," any one of you fluent Arabic speakers want to help me bargain?? I'm sure your well aware that only speaking English does not help me in these situations. 😀
And finally, is anyone interested in a spacious AND furnished two bedroom apartment which includes a washing machine and dryer? HOLLER back..and I will personally give you a tour of my pimp pad that many would say I'm crazy to give up. $600 per tenant/$1200 total, not including utilities.
Help me make my decision! Stay in Hamra, or move to Monot, Gemmayze, or Achrafieh???!!

Jon Walters scores twice as Stoke defeat Liverpool 3-1 in the Premier League
Jon Walters scored twice as Stoke City responded in style to giving away an early penalty with a 3-1 win over Liverpool.
By Rob Parrish - Follow me on Twitter @skysportsrobp
Last Updated: 26/12/12 11:34pm
The well-deserved success for Tony Pulis' men lifted them above their opponents to eighth in the Premier League table, with Brendan Rodgers' inconsistent visitors now down in 10th.
There was an explosive opening to the final top-flight encounter of a busy Boxing Day with Ryan Shawcross rightly penalised for pulling Luis Suarez shirt by referee Howard Webb with barely 30 seconds on the clock.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard took responsibility and made no mistake from 12 yards, firing low and hard into the bottom corner as the visitors picked up from where they left off having romped to a 4-0 weekend win over Fulham.
But Stoke were back on terms soon after as Martin Skrtel's costly slip in defence after a long ball forward allowed Walters to burst into the box and beat Reina with some style.
And the hosts were in front in the 12th minute as the Reds switched off badly at a corner, allowing Kenwyne Jones to advance to the far post before glancing a header home, with no marker or man on the upright in sight for Liverpool.
Reina then had to be at his best to tip over a searing drive from Matt Etherington, while Gerrard side-footed narrowly wide at the other end of the field after good work from Stewart Downing and Suso down the flank.
Suarez drilled in a low shot from a tight angle which Asmir Begovic did well to block at his near post and as the interval approached Reina was quickly off his line to smother Etherington's shot following a deep cross to the back post.
The Uruguay international then clipped the outside of Begovic's post with a scuffed shot at the start of the second period as Liverpool looked to get back on terms, only to find themselves further in arrears in the 49th minute.
Walters showed superb technique to chest down Jones' flick on after a long throw into the penalty area before firing a first-time volley beyond the despairing dive of Reina.
The Reds goalkeeper needed treatment after a nasty collision with Dean Whitehead in the 70th minute as they contested a low ball into the box, but was thankfully able to continue.
Rodgers' side pressed in a vain attempt to get back into the game in the closing stages, but often looked more likely to concede on the break than find a way past Begovic once again, with the Potters No.1 turning away a long-range effort from Gerrard in the last minute.

Viewership may be down, attendance may be down, but does NASCAR really think changing the rules of the game AGAIN is going to magically cure that? Seems that NASCAR's answer to all that ails it is to change, change and change things. Apparently they have never heard Einstein's definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and expecting different results. Well, in this case doing the same thing is changing the sport AGAIN. Can we not just go from one season to another without wholesale changes like this?
Some may not think that the change that has been hinted at is that big of a deal, and may even see the potential change as easier to understand, but as a diehard NASCAR fan I don't have any issue or problem understanding the current scoring method. Most of us can indeed count past 43. I view the changes as yet one more thing to figure out as the season starts. It distracts from the racing, it distracts from the good part of the sport and frustrates me to no end.
I am also not in favor of changing the Chase format. Why, you may ask? Because in my opinion the integrity of the record books has already been compromised by instituting the Chase in the first place. There is Pre-Chase Era drivers and Championships and Chase Era drivers and Championships, NASCAR doesn't need a third era. You simply cannot compare Richard Petty's seven Championships to Jeff Gordon's four because had the Chase format not been instituted Gordon would have won two additional Championships (2004 and 2007). Carl Edwards would have taken the 2008 Championship, and Jimmie wouldn't be Mr. Five Time. As it stands there needs to be an asterisk in the books, but the damage is done, let's move on and leave it be.
If the Chase were eliminated now or God forbid, a whole other format instituted, we will never be able to compare Championship results or have a history of the sport that makes any kind of sense. And to answer those that say, "yeah but Johnson winning all the time is boring and he has this Chase thing figured out", I say to you, yes indeed it is and he does, but guess what like him or hate him, he has been the best in this format for the last five seasons and it is the burden of the other drivers to rise to the standard set by Johnson the 48 Team. The other 11 teams need to bring it to the track week after week and get it done. If at the end of the season, Johnson is crowned Champion again, then we know the other drivers failed. Simply changing the sport in an attempt to handicap a winner or level a playing field is ridiculous. If the others aren't up to the challenge then they don't deserve to win. Hamlin and Harvick came close this year proving the Chase format is not broken.
Confusion is never a good marketing strategy and changing the rules constantly is not going to draw more fans in, but it could frustrate current fans and cause them to move on to a sport they don't have to re-learn each season. NASCAR, please, leave the drama to the drivers on the track and let the rest ride!

Recently, Phoenix Motorcars demonstrated their plug-in electric SUV that will go on sale in 2008. The SUV uses AltairNano's fast-charge lithium-ion battery technology for power. The vehicle has a top speed of about 100 miles per hour, and its range is about 250 miles. Here's a video of the SUV in action.
Altairnano will offering the SUV for fleet use at first. The range is enough for many commercial applications. With eventual public sales in mind, though, company officials said Altairnano is already talking with Pacific Gas & Electric, California's largest utility, about a web of "rapid charge stations." With conventional 480-volt, three-phase service, they could top off batteries during a coffee stop (recharging at home, with the same 220 volts that runs the clothes dryer or stove, would take about five hours).

Patient discussion about oil
Q. Does fish-oil helps exercise induced asthma? I was diagnosed with exercise induced asthma a couple of year ago, and since then had better and worse times with my asthma, although the treatment I get. I read in a newspaper that fish oil can help exercise induced asthma- is that true? Do I have to eat fish-oil specifically or can I eat fish instead (I really, really, hate fish-oil…)?
Q. if someone is allergic to olive trees, does that mean they are allergic to olive oil as well?
Dinner was spectacular if i may add :)
Q. I am wondering if any of you are ENTHUSED about the use of COCONUT OIL. I ask because it IS SATURATED FAT. I have trouble losing weight. That inculdes getting cold frequently, and was wondering if cocounut oil would help me maintain body temperture more easily. Also, I have notice that SOME claim that coconut oil has many health benefits not affiliated with polyunsaturates.

Not only that but did 'you' notice that some people only post when a service doesn't do well? The way some act, they expect to win every ticket, every day forever.
Bottom line, know the service you're working with. As for myself, I like return I've gotten from Terry and his sons.
What part of I'm not Terry or any of his sons do you not understand? Seeing you seemed to get a thrill about posting when losing tickets took place, I posted about a great winning day. Were it me, I'd contact them and find out what's going on - just my opinion.
QUOTE Originally Posted by Bubba_Says:Yesterday I went 8-1 and added 94.40, 5-1 +89.80 units from MLB and 3-0 +5.00 units from the NBA, units from Terry's/todaysactions selections.
That night I went 8-1 from Terry's/todaysactions selections. Are you unable to understand what was written?
Time to do a little update. I have said all I needed to say with today's action. Now time for blackbelt cappers.
I have been chasing my whole 4 years betting did really well and was really lucky. Ran into a bad run and lost almost half my winnings. Decided to compound like professionals do. Saw this thread and gave TDA and blackbelt a try,
Here is my experience with blackbelt. Ive had them in a group lost the account 2 weeks into it with them Janurary. After account was cancelled, I set up a ghost account through my friend from March to end of May. They lost about me about 3000 betting 300 a play. They played their chasing MAPS on 1st inning run to to be scored every day. And I stopped since then because who needs to pay 500 a month for some bullshit chase system we all can come up with. Their record was heavily padded with this. So I cancelled with them.
End of June now they kept sending me emails that they are winning. So i decide to jump back on . Betting 500 a play they were up about 1500 for me (cost was 575 for a month now so profit vs risk did not add up for me). Surprisingly they stopped playing their MAPS during this time. Not 1 play of MAPS because that's why i cancelled for. They used to play middle to short favorites,but kept playing -runlines and big dogs. I have a feeling I was being stringed along to milk my monthly script.
Just stopped 2 days ago on them even though 26th was my expiration date, but it is on auto-renew so I did it on the 23rd just to be safe so I don't get charged again. Wow miraculouly they go on a 10-0 run. I had them on and off for half a year they barely can keep me in the black and now a 10-0 run when I jump off. I let the reader interpret this one. Adding that it took them 3 weeks to actually make a play when MLB 1st started and now they make preseason NFL plays. Method of operation does not make sense here. But that's just my opinion.
So after on and off for about 6 months, they have lost and always when you cancel they say they go on an insane run. Price always goes up after the run. I say I don't like MAPS they have not made a single MAP play since I joined them again.
This below is just my opinion of them:
This is just my opinion that they are stringing me along for the monthly fee. Their records are always posted after the fact unlike pregame or other big capper groups which are released at start of game time. Not many people have access to them due to the price I assume. So don't really know if record is made up or not. I would say yes, if no one can verify and games are not posted when the game starts you will have to assume they are false. I also think Maria Smith is a shill for them. I will say you probably won't go broke with them becasue they practice good bankroll management. No GOTW or GOTY just flat bet and no more than 4 plays per day, but NO capper is worth $575 a month or else he would not need to sell plays.
Not here to debate just consumer awareness so people don't fall into my trap. Donated a lot of money to these touts/scammers. Am I stupid for it yes. But they play on your emotions to win and get even. Which is why the capping industry, online sports betting has such a lucrative market. One and done here with this thread and these two "cappers,touts, scammers." BOL all
I am with Saints on this one !
All you do bro is jump around and not follow thru long-term with anyone ?
You bitched about Terry at Todays Action and he is up Very nice for MLB, You girl about BB even thu at this point in time I feel the 575 a month is fee is VERY HIGH . That I dont agree with at all. However they have performed well over time.
Again this is the issue that so many have ? This poster is living proof of it ? Never sticks it out for more then 3 months or so and then gets killed and comes on here and blasts everyone.
What do you expect from any of these guys ? Do you expect to win every month all year around ?
Based on everthing you write I strongly suggest you take up another hobby. Wagering is not for you my man.
There is no reason for me or anyone else to even post whom we think is solid or not as you join them for short term and get beat and then come on here and go Nuts about it.
I just dont get it. Funny thing is I was going to reccomend another person whom is Lights Out and has been for over 2 years and nobody talks about him at all. But What For ?
You will do the same garbage with him and this guy is good for 400 units a year at 1/2 unit play and 1 unit plays overall.
I suggest Golf or another form of entertainment . Sports wagering isnt for ya.

If you're anything like me, you've spent today frantically re-booting the cyclingnews.com live feed on the U23 men's and women's time trial. I've been on the edge of my seat. When Luke Durbridge and Rohan Dennis were sitting 1-2 in the order I was so excited. Both spent this year as members of the Jayco Skins U23 AIS team in Europe (aka the gold medal factory). They are machines. I know Rohan from my SASI days but Durbo I met for the first time when I was over in Europe this year. He's a fun guy. Both have already achieved so much on the bike – track and road – and it's incredible to think they're still getting better. Look out, world!
The women's TT was awesome. Alex Rhodes, Shara Gillow and Vicki Whitelaw did us proud. Shara's ride in particular was spectacular – 8th!
Emma Pooley (Gr Britain) dominated the TT and won her first world title by a fair margin. What a ride! Emma has had a great year and went into the TT as one of the favourites. To pull off such a commanding win under such enormous pressure and expectation is impressive. And she is a Top Chick, so you can't help but be happy for her.
I can't let her win pass without recounting to you my favourite Emma Pooley story. In stage 7 of the Giro Donne, which was one of the big mountain stages, I was climbing the second mountain pass of the day with a small group consisting of a couple of Italians, a couple of Dutchies and a crazy Russian who kept hammering it. We had been dropped by the lead climbers (including Pooley) but were ages ahead of the grupetto so we were just getting the day over with. The conditions were blisteringly hot and getting up the mountain was a chore. At the bottom of the climb, the crazy Russian snapped her chain and with no team car in sight we were down to 5. Around halfway up the mountain, one of the Italians turned to the other and blabbed something in Italian. I can't understand Italian, so what I heard was, 'blah blah blah Emma Pooley: do-di-do-di-do-di-do!' and she pretended to tap up the mountain like she was frolicking in the park. It was hilarious – I almost fell off my bike. Some things don't need a translator.
Enough of this computer re-booting – I'm off to Geelong! See you there. Ride happy

My response to Todd: to claim, as you do by writing, "insulting these people for being upset about abortion or gay rights".
Those who oppose Christian Taliban do so through language. These are not insults or put-downs or trivialization or demonizations, they are descriptors: abortion and gay rights are not political questions to be answered by politicians, they are individual human rights and violence is not used as a tool to achieve these aims, language is the tool.
Individuals have the responsibility to live within the laws of the land and if one disagrees with the laws, then they can work to change them. We have already asked the question about whether abortion is legal or not and the Supreme Court decided women have the right to control their own bodies. Obviously, there are those who disagree with the abortion decision and they have the right and responsibility to work to change the law.
Look at the history of anti-abortion believers; they include assaults, blocked access of women to health care, name calling, and murder, all crimes against people, in addition to destruction of property, through arson, and vandalism.
Remember the crimes committed by those who took part in illegal behaviors and defend the use of whatever means necessary to achieve their ends? They perceived themselves as justified to commit homicide in defense of unborn children. This is only a partial list but do their crimes justify their means? Eric Rudolph, James Kopp, Paul Jennings Hill, Scott Roeder, Michael Griffin and Peter Knight. Do you hear the silence of the religious in response to their crimes? I do! Do the ends justify the means?
Christian terrorism is a political weapon used against women's rights and Gay rights. Christian Taliban members are willing and able to use violence to achieve their ends.
Does this make any sense? In my opinion, it is my responsibility and right to describe their attitudes, behaviors, speech and action as I see them. No insult intended. Descriptions based on facts are not insults.

How I hate the way they use the words Pro Life! We are more pro life than they are: we prevent a lot of suffering and we're not afraid to shoulder part of the burden. I wonder if there's one person among those pro-lifers who knows what it is to be an unwanted child?
Right! Chris you state it so well. I wonder how much change we can bring about in our lifetimes? I sure want to give it a good try. Getting off fossil fuels, creating whole new industries using natural forces of nature, simplifying our lifestyles, eliminating hunger, homelessness and war. Oh! I do hope I see that.
I watched a video last night of a panel discussion at the "Kilkenomics 2012 November 1-4. You may be interested in watching it. There are several references to the Dutch economy, expressed in possitive terms. I am interested in your reaction.
Kilkenomics 2012: Panel Discussion
I really dislike Max Keiser's voice and manner of speaking, but usually names events as I interpret them.
William K Black has a powerful voice and makes sense to me.
Well, hope you have some fun, and interesting reading.
This laptop got stuck again, I've only seen half of the video, but the story that came to me once more is that of zugzwang (can you play chess?). I see zugzwang in everything that concerns us, from very simple to complicated, and if I cannot understand what they're really doing because I have never had the training to understand dirty work, I'm certain it will end in zugzwang.
e.g. 35 years ago everyone rented a house or an apartment, but rents rocketed sky-high and apartments were rather cheap. So everyone bought a house or an apartment and all was well, until the banks organised a crisis... now every house owner is afraid about the mortgage, and we hear more and more about bankrupcies and evictions. We'll see the same pattern everywhere.
Gee, you can't win; rent prices rocket, mortgages turn risky! What is the prudent choice? Jeeze, if they don't get you one way, they get you another. Have your taxes gone up a lot, and is renting or owning better as far as taxes and insurance are concerned? It really is hard to plan when the whole world economy is in flux.
I figure I have another 25 years to live and I will stay right here, with my garden, which will go to weeds as I get older. But what the heck, weeds can be pretty.
Joan, it's true that if people rent the biggest spiffiest apt they can afford, or buy the biggest most well appointed house in the best neighborhood they can afford, then they will be living on a razor's edge. I still think buying a house that's more practical, that needs some work, but has solid framing and no major problems, and fixing it up, is more secure. I did it, and over 10 years rebuilt, renovated, painted, tore out walls, reframed, out in walls, and wound up with a place far better than I thought I could afford, for far less cost, and it's paid for. You got a house that you made your own as well. It's not for everyone and there are no easy answers, but it's one way that people can meet their needs and maybe have some security.
Weeds have flowers. Flowers have nectar. Bees use the nectar to make honey. So weeds can have a sweet purpose too. :)
The problem, Sentient, is those who have grandiose ideas of living as if they had the income to support their hoped for income are down the drain if they lose jobs or businesses. The ones that break my heart are the ones who live within their means, budget, forego immediate pleasure for long term goals, who save and through no fault of their own lose jobs, homes, health and retirement plans and live off savings, and credit cards. I can't think of a better way to destroy family tranquility and create breakup.
The smart ones know how vulnerable they are, steel themselves to the facts of life, prepare their kids to be flexible and go with the flow of the real world.
The wise ones develop a mental strength to retain their self-respect and dignity and prepare their kids for mental strength.
My job as mother, grandmother, great-grandmother is to be a solid dock upon which they know they can rely for love and compassion and information. Unfortunately pensions have been hit very hard and many of us lost a large chunk of our retirement incomes. So we have to be strong of mind and character, as well.
My anger is that owners of capital convince owners of labor that the only way to structure a society is to produce profits that go to investors, leaving out labor. People who believe capital is more deserving than labor should have to make the cars, build houses, dig ditches, clean up after them and cook their own meals.
Now the good news in all this, there is pleasure in hunkering down. Simple living requires thought and time and energy. There is also opportunity to realize economic booms and busts are deliberate and planned, not by some conspiracy, but the consequences of economic and political principles. Greed, designed into fiscal policy, that takes from workers to enrich capital always has to have balancing energy to counterbalance the inequality of reward from production. Buyers can boycott companies that do not pay living wages even as they make profits for CEOs, CFOs, and shareholders. Workers can strike, picket and organize.
Closing down of Twinkies "because of strikers", can be a good thing in that a niche opens up for individual entrepreneurship or a different form of government.
Hard times, labor unrest, and struggling families working for a balanced economy between capital and labor, can be a good thing, even as it is hard.
Yes, i agree there is a lot of hardship. My heart goes out to many people. Also no matter how careful we are to plan for the future, it can be a house of cards.
I don't think the Hostess bakery workers will come out ahead. They will lose their jobs and have very hard times. The whole think looks to me like a union busting situation. Maybe an excuse for selling off the brands. Sounds a bit like Bain Capital to me.
I agree 100% Sentient. I, too smell a union busting strategy going on.
If the workers lose their jobs and their unions, what are their options? It seems to me they will have to look outside the box for new and less corrupt ways to organize themselves.
Just look back in history, when workers during the Great Depression had no work and no way to support themselves they did several things:
one was to make changes in government by putting pressure on FDR for what turned out to be public works programs.
Another was to become entrepreneurial themselves, create their own jobs, first by going around doing handy-work, then learning skilled trades or nursing and teaching, etc., through education, which was also funded through government.
Some lobbied for pension reform, and health plans reform. A lot of changes occured that would not have if they had continued as slave-labor.
Also, look back to the Depression of 1890s, people left their low-wage job packed up their families and moved west. Thus the Great Migration would not have happened if they had continued as slave-labor.
The problem with current events, the western movement has now completed filling the continent, production can be sent out of USA seeking slave-labor in poor countries. Exploitation is required to maintain a successful laissez-faire capitalist system. Remember capitalism needs poverty to be able to create great wealth. At some point, wage-workers see the connection between political and economic freedom and economic exploitation.
I hope we don't have to start a war to siphon off able bodies into the military and keep them from agitating here.
Also,this NewYorker article makes a point: Hostess may have been on the way out anyway, due to inability to adapt to a changing market.
It's criminal that pensions are considered an archaic concept. What a corrupt world corporations have created.
for the radical right, obama victory brings fury and fear.
Ole Miss...several hundred mostly white students protested furiously, reportedly yelling anti-black racial slurs and throwing rocks at passing cars.
The loss of a white majority in the United States has helped drive a truly explosive growth of the radical right in the last three years, and that now seems likely to accelerate. Hate groups in recent years have risen to more than 1,000,
Those quotes not all about gay or women's rights, but same hate groups in opposition. They are not kind and gentle people.
"Get ready for God's wrath," wrote one. "The people are choosing Satan's finest." "Fudgies win again," wrote another. "Incidents of HIV [to] rise again." And a third: "America is going to pay for its unbelief and its love of abortion and homosexuals. … And IT DESERVES IT."
Oh Jeez! We had a horrible mess in this area with the Aryan Nations which the SPLC successfully bankrupt. No, the radical right are not nice people. This is simply further evidence of some bad days ahead. One thing is for sure, feeling helpless and hopeless gets me no where, so the only alternative I see, for me at least, is to get really clear on what happens, who causes problems and how, and build my principles on firm footings. Prepare for the storm and find peace and joy everywhere I can find it.
You're right, booklover! All the love, care and joy that you give and receive today is as essential as good food - you'll all be stronger and healthier because of it.

Wayland students remembered at memorial service
PLAINVIEW – Staff and students from Wayland Baptist University celebrated the life of two students during a memorial service held Wednesday, Oct. 27, in Harral Auditorium.
Katye Mansdoerfer and Reid Rogers – both of whom died in an automobile accident on Oct. 20 – were remembered for their smiles, their joy and their love for God and life during the service, held during the university's traditional chapel hour.
Around 900 attendees turned out for the event, composed of students, Wayland faculty and staff and community members. The praise band from Plumbline, the weekly worship service organized by the Student Ministries office, led the service with three praise choruses, followed by testimonies from four about the two students.
"Katye was what I'd call an eternal optimist," said Zach Crook, a sophomore from Albuquerque, N.M. "She was always happy and had a way of making everyone's day better."
Crook also described Mansdoerfer as an encourager who was "secure in who she was and where she was going."
"She was ready for her prince – Jesus – to come for her and she lived her life with no regrets," Crook said, imploring students to live in the same manner and be secure in their future in heaven.
Jeff Graves, a freshman from Plainview and a longtime friend of Rogers, added levity to the service by remembering the funny side of Reid, a 2004 Plainview High School graduate.
"We were always looking for fun things to do," Graves said. "Reid loved to laugh and make people laugh. Reid was one of those guys who had a smile that lit up the room."
Graves said Rogers was passionate about his relationship with God and "was an example, living for Christ every day."
Hope English, director of special projects at Wayland and a longtime employee of the Plainview schools, spoke of Rogers' enthusiasm for life, even at student council meetings set for 7:45 a.m.
"We had our share of grumpies, but not Reid. He came in with a smile and left with a smile," English said. "I'm convinced the smile on his face was just an eruption of the pure joy and zest for life that he had."
English also said the two young people lived out their purpose according to God's plan.
"Katye and Reid's lives may not have been as long as we would have hoped, but they were lives well spent," she said.
Dr. Paul Armes, university president, shared words of encouragement during a brief message which followed a slide presentation featuring photos of the two students with many friends.
"There are some unknowable mysteries in life, and even if we had the answers, wouldn't our hearts still hurt?" Armes asked. "Our knowledge this side of heaven will always be incomplete, but I believe Katye and Reid would want us to talk about the things we do know."
"Even in life's most challenging and heartbreaking moments, you can be comforted," Armes said, referencing the 14th chapter of John in which Jesus comforts the disciples before his arrest and crucifixion. "As painful as this is, you can still trust in Christ with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength."
Funeral services for Katye were held Saturday in Albuquerque, while Reid's funeral was held Saturday in Plainview.
