Startling Stats on Szczesny – How good is He?
Good morning gooners! We secured the much coveted 3rd place and a Champions League spot on the last day of the season following what was very much a rollercoaster season.
I could not do a proper season review because we were too busy planning the move here. But we owe it to you guys to do something similar; hence this post on a man seen as one of our top performers last season, Wojciech Szczesny.
Sz13 had an interesting season. Many are quick to praise him, I'm not left out and often deservedly so. He has had some unbelievable goal-keeping performances…
Please follow the link to the new site to read the full original post.
Season Review : Arsenal Tops And Flops
Top of the morning to you all from wherever you are, let's take your mind away from the RVP saga, news that Wilshere is set to have another minor operation with today's post. The season ended last week in dramatic fashion as we can all remember. So we had our authors (Bosun, Yemi and Leke) sit down and give us their post season thoughts. The following questions were given to them and based on their different personalities, their answer are below. Enjoy:
Considering the injuries, the poor summer activities and the lack of a decent back up striker I'd say NO. Yes, NO. No I mean NO. 300 Spartans won the war, surely winning the league was an easier task and we blew it.
No. Chelsea has won the FA cup and are playing in the UCL final. They decide whether or not they go to Europe. As for Liverpool and Spurs, when was the last time we finished below them to be happy about finishing above them this year? We are not a club who should be looking down and being happy that we finished above xyz.
Quite the achievement actually and I reckon, had either of Fabregas and Nanas stayed, we likely would've won the league thanks to a run much contrary to the one from the opening seven matches.
Sagna getting injured, Coquelin following after that. Mertesacker too, then Gibbs & Santos. It's like clockwork every season. As much as every of Van Persie's goals should be the best moment, the neat and tidy work of the irrepllaceable Arteta in midfield, Alex Song's now-famed-lobbed-passes to be it RVP or Walcott and Koscielny's top notch displays did it for me.
Loss at Old Trafford. If we had not lost by that margin, Wenger would not have known how shite we were.
The win over 5pur2 and Ch3l5ea are second and third respectively behind the moment when Song lobbed the ball over the Kop defence. I'd kept faith that we'd get the win at Liverpool and oh what a strike from van Persie to win it at the death.
Thierry Henry leaving us after just 6 weeks. He was our Messiah. I feel Chamakh & Park betrayed him so he had to leave. Bummer.
Loss at Blakcburn. We were so poor it made my eyes bleed. (see also: Norwich, Swansea, Wigan, QPR, Fulham).
I eight two recollect such moments please… *teary eyed* along with the bitter taste from Milan I was forced to drink down with a four nil.
Abou Diaby. No I'm not joking, he managed to stay injured for 98% of the campaign and then each time he played 5 or more minutes, he got injured again. Almunia and Park are tied for 2nd. Managed to pick up about 100k/w for over 10months without actually playing. I need that kind of job.
Arteta. For 10 million quid, he was an absolute bargain!
Ah! Well… *pretends to go through a list just to keep from saying the obvious too quickly*… quite a number… uhmm… okay okay… Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain did! He ties with the obvious choice for me.
Robin Van Persie. Yes. I placed a bet on him getting 40 goals altogether and he failed. He owes me. How to repay me? Sign a new contract and all will be forgiven.
Vermaelen. For all his attacking ability, he cost us some games last season. His defending was generally poor.
I'm too much an optimist to see how any of them disappointed just as when le boss goes temporarily blind when the media says a gunner dived or when we clearly should have conceded a penalty.
a) No injuries to any of the first team players,
b) Chamakh, Park, Squillaci, Allmunia, Bendtner, Vela and Denilson all saying bye bye to the club.
c) Signing Podolski(done), M'vila, Kagawa/Hoiliet.
Oh yeah hopefully when Arsenal comes to Nigeria, I get to see them. Hopefully.
Keep RVP. Sign M'Vila, a quality LB, and another goal scorer.
Leke :
Oh? *shy grin*… I'd play some football manager, watch the rise of a Dark Knight then spend a week at the Burj al-Arab and make it back just in time to see the lads when they visit Nigeria ^.^
A & B to happen. C to also happen. I might be a clown but I really expect that. Seeing as Verthogen is going to Spurs, Kagawa United, Hazard-City
We won't keep RVP. Wenger will give us the usual bollocks about how tight the market is. We'll put all our faith in Podolski, Chamakh and Park. Song may leave too, and we'll expect Coquelin to step in.
I'd play football manager, watch that Dark Knight rise, read confirmed news of Yann M'Vila's arrival at the club and of Wilshere being fit, finally. Yes, I think M'Vila would be the only other arrival. Oh, there's Nicklas Bendtner's likely exit, one that saddens me greatly.
Well there you have it, we all started out the season with different expectations, some higher than others and just like the past 5 seasons, it's the same outcome again. Trophyless.
We just thought to say thank you to everyone who has read this site, followed us on Twitter and got involved in the comments. It's a pleasure writing for you beautiful bastards.
P.S – We'll be unable to post next week as we need to move to a new domain, all in a bid to serve you better.
Our twitter account remains functional though. So if you are not already, follow us on @goonermemoirs for breaking news and updates.
Meanwhile, take some time to leave us with your comments.
RvP Talks to Begin Today + Poldi "can't wait to play for Arsenal"
Good morning from wherever you read this. Woke up hoping Wenger never makes a "not in my lifetime" statement towards the Tots or Chelski to warrant a placard similar to Carlos Tevez's now infamous one.
The Argentine has apologised, as have his club, saying he got carried away by the moment. Oh well, our team meanwhile stays focused on having a better campaign next season with van Persie set to commence talks regarding his future at the Ems.
According to BBC's David Ornstein who broke the news, captain vantastic will meet up with le boss and Ivan Gazidis at Wenger's abode on Wednesday, even stating a time for the meeting (10:30 BST).
Don't get lost in excitement just yet, nothing is expected to be sealed then with the Dutch striker set to report for Holland's Euro 2012 camp on Thursday.
We however do hope it sets in motion the process of an extension of his stay beyond what his current contract states, as well as ward off the suitors eyeing our prized asset.
Meanwhile speaking with the club's website, van Persie had special praise for fans that cheered the team on at home and especially at away grounds.
"The away fans, they are always here, always singing, always cheering us up even when we are having a bad game, they are always behind us. A big thank you to all of them because they have been unbelievable."
And he had this to say of the home support, "The last few months have been different class. Every single game – the Spurs game, the Milan game, you can name them all – unbelievable."
Podolski Eager to Play Ball
Following a bitter-sweet campaign with Köln in which his commendable 18 goals were on the contrary not enough to prevent his hometown club from relegation, Lukas Podolski is ready to begin life at the Ems next season.
Speaking officially as a Gunner for the first time, the German forward said soeaking personally with Wenger through telephone conversations was one of the elements that convinced him to join us.
He also mentioned the Per factor, "He has mentioned things about the Club's organisation, the training ground, the fans and this has really helped. It might have influenced me to a certain extent but in the end, of course, I took the decision myself."
Thank you once again Per for the PR. And here we were thinking Vermaelen had done enough to convince Belgian compatriot Jan Vertonghen to follow suit and join but word is he prefers being a 'neighbour'.
Nothing is confirmed yet however, just as it has gone mellow concerning French midfielder Yann M'Vila. The lull before the bang? We await.
Do follow us on twitter @goonermemoirs and have a great day ahead. Cheers.
How The Drama Went Down – Full Review.
@bosunescobar said "Arsenal will chop two, just watch" and we did. But I damn well am glad we gave West Brom three to chop… and Kieran Gibbs must surely have a place in Heaven after that aptly executed stoppage time tackle. Trepidation 'whelms me at the thought of "had that gone wrong… ".
Francis Coquelin turned 19 on the day, Yossi Benayoun performed well for us again in what likely is his last game for us, anxiety got the better of monsieur Wenger and who better to cling on than Pat Rice, lifted by the players after the final whistle to an ovation from the visiting fans; in tribute to the end of his long service to the club.
It was a tense way to wrap up our season, Arsenal somehow always ensures of the drama. After Fulop flopped to let Yossi give us the lead after four minutes, two goals in four minutes meant we had work to do.
How the first wasn't chalked off for offside leaves my being perplexed. How the second was scored left my emotions numb at our defensive movement, with Graham Dorrans making light work of Kozzer and TV5 there.
All that happened in the opening 15 minutes and our 'noisy' neighbours were at the time, ahead against Fulham by a lone Emmanuel Adebayor goal.
It wasn't the ideal scenario for a week 38 fixture as far as any gooner was bothered. Any form of goal was craved and Andre the boss Santos duly obliged to get our gays back on level terms just after the half hour mark.
A tinny bit of skill before lashing one into the bottom corner and the Brazilian ensured we'd go into the break at 2-2 with the Sillywhites still leading by Adebayor's goal i.e. they = 69 and us = 68… *shudders*
We showed some urgency at the start of the second half. Rosicky got replaced by Theo Walcott at half time, leaving Yossi with the task of pulling the midfield strings.
Jermaine Defoe doubled the Tiny Tots' advantage just past the hour mark and we were on our way to 1) another nervy affair in the Champions League final qualifying round or 2) the Europa Leag… God forbideth!!
Marton Fulop obliged yet again. Making to punch away a van Persie corner but jumping into his (better placed to clear) defender and fumbling his attempted clearance instead, gifting Laurent Koscielny the goal to scramble in the ball.
No amount of goals scored at the Shite Fart Lane could help them now. Ramsey came on for Santos and Benayoun returned to the left wing after Gervinho went off for Kieran Gibbs.
Inspired substitution, the latter, thanks to that tackle I mentioned earlier. Made Gibbs my man of the match, along with the industrious Yossi while van Persie came a close third.
And though he did say in his pre-match note that he'd trade all his goals for a win at the Hawthorns, finishing dead on 30, just one behind the record number 31, had me feel a tad bit of "damn" for captain vantastic.
Nonetheless, he's the PFA and FWA Player of the Season, Arsenal.com's Player of the Season (yet to be polled but really, it's not a contest) and the league's 'golden boot' as well as Europe's bronze boot behind "Angel" Messi and the oiled one, Ronaldo.
Summarily, it was a bipolar season for the Gunners. A good season thanks to going from fourth bottom to third from top in Wenger's 900th league match for us. A bad season no thanks to making it seven years without a trophy… take the figurine out of Arsenal's abode already -__-.
Curtain Calls
We missed Jack Wilshere gravely. Alas, Mikel Arteta would likely not be a gunner now if Jack wasn't injured. A silver lining to carry into our campaign next season.
Lukas Podolski is a gunner, most imperatively alongside van Persie. Would be interesting to see if we adapt to a 4-4-2 formation or play the German from the left wing. Certainly hope he's not a 'replacement killer' for you-know-who.
And finally, two more arrivals and no departure of players other than the Squillacis and Shishas will have us being real title contenders next season. M'Vila? Vertonghen? Biglia? Belhanda? Time will tell.
Congratulations to Kolo Toure, Gael Clichy and (from some corner of my heart) Samir Nasri along with their title winning mates at Manchester City. Thoroughly deserve to be champions and what a breathless way to pip the Red Devils to it.
Take a cue Tiny Tots, that's what you call a noisy neighbour!
Yann M'Vila Uncertain | Walcott Fit | Pat Rice Departs.
With twitter it's impossible to know whether to believe something or to disbelieve it. Afterall it's where breaking news happens first these days. From "deal agreed and waiting to be announced" on the M'Vila front to "no deal in place yet, no contact, just interest".
It's going to be a long summer as it always is for we gooners, but wait, le boss wants to conclude all (or most) of his business before the start of the European Championships so it won't be.
Where are my manners, top of the morning to you wherever you are. A lot of has been happening this week regarding the club, both rumors and actual events. The M'Vila deal would still happen, knowing how Wenger operates, he wants it quiet till it's concluded and then announced officially. Fingers crossed. He's the player we need.
Oh please spare me the "we have Coquelin and Frimpong and Song" cliche. The former two are at best upcoming players despite the obvious talent they have. Playing with world class players only helps you get better, it doesn't stunt your growth. If he comes, it would be exciting to see who he replaces in the starting XI.
The Arsenal legend departs the club after 44 years of service as a player and as a coach. His career is one laden with success and a loyal servant to the club he is. He's very much loved within the club and would be missed but I'm sure Steve Bould (the man replacing him) will perform just as good.
Word is Mr Bould is a no nonsense man who is outspoken and respected by all players and even Wenger. Finally we can have someone to shout at Gervinho & Ramsey from the sidelines. \(^_^)/.
Speedstar Theo is set to recover and play in the curtain closer of the season, should he pass a late fitness test. If he's fit I say start him. We need all the ammunition from the start. Hopeful the Ox gets to start too. The game against Brom is a must win. No f*cking excuses, no relying on results of the other teams/games. 3 points and 3rd place. Thank you.
"We Did Doubt" – Kozzer
In an interview with France Football, defender Laurent Koscielny is quoted to admitting a feeling we had back then, that the players doubted their abilities and le boss' following the horrendous start to the season, summed up by that defeat I much 8-2 mention.
"The group was not giving enough for the club and we realised that." said Kozzer. "We got down to work and we said the things we needed to say. After that, one win, two wins, confidence returns and things follow on from that. The new players were immersed in the group and so on". Get us one more win Kozzer, so we know it's real!
I have Options – Vela
The Mexican forward has had quite a good season with Real Sociedad, hitting a dozen goals in for the Basque club in 31 la Liga matches. A form that prompted the 'prince of the lobbed goals' to declare his preference of making the move permanent a while ago.
Now however, making his stay there permanent may not happen after the player admitted Sociedad's budget will likely hinder them from doing just that.
But… "I have more options" said Vela, cushioning the minor setback to an immediate exit from the Arsenal. Going by his form though, him getting a decent club shouldn't be a problem.
RvP: One More Record to Break
With 30 league goals so far, captain vantastic is at least two goals from setting a new league record of 32 league goals (or more) under the 38-game format. The standing record has Alan Shearer and Cristiano Ronaldo tied at 31 goals.
It would be great to have RvP get the goals, to cap a phenomenal season. But I can sense many gooners would rather the goals came from anyone, as long as we get the win at the Hawthorns.
And we'll be here tomorrow to give a prematch report on the game. Till then have a great day wherever you are.

Arsenal Escape Norwich Fiasco | Bould To Be Wenger's No 2 | New Kit Launched
Morning to you all from wherever you are, first off I'd like to apologize for not providing any post match reports or player ratings for the Norwich game for the obvious reasons. Reasons such as how inept we are as a team and how we lack ambition and how the team never ends the season well despite this being our easiest run in in years. Please don't say we were denied penalties, we were awful, the midfield non-existent and Vermaelen, Gibbs & Szczesny were all piss poor. BUT
For whatever reason, Lady Luck smiled on us the following day as our rivals for the 3rd spot both dropped points meaning our destiny is back in our own hands and we must play the game of our lives on the final day of the season and get the 3 points. As someone said, he'll get Ian Wright & Tony Adams to deliver team talk before the game & at half time.
We'll come back to how our team is a very poor one and how no one else but Arsene Wenger is at fault for this. One example, United need to win a game and they throw on strikers like Welbeck/Hernandez/Berbatov, City throw on Balotelli/Dzeko, Chelsea, Drogba/Torres, even Spurs have Defoe/Saha. Who do we the Arsenal have? Chamakh & Park and even those two are never introduced. Says a lot. Arteta got injured(and we've picked 2 points out of 9) also, we can see how Song is poor defensively. A couple of assists don't make you a great DM.
Pat Rice will step down end of season and despite the options available to the club, they decided to pick from within and Steve Bould the reserve team coach will be Wenger's no 2.
Will he be like Pat Rice and just let Wenger do his thing or will he be exactly what we need in the backroom, someone that can challenge Wenger and point out his flaws. He was a former defender, will he help improve our defense? I hope so. But then again, Pat Rice too was a defender.
I'd like to start of by saying I don't like this kit, they tried to do too much and involved all the colors on the badge. The blue and white hoops by the sleeve don't work for me. Let's hope the away kit is better. Have a look below.
And Finally……..
A lot has to happen behind the scenes at Arsenal come summer and buying two-three players will not be enough. We have way too many useless and detrimental players at the club. Ship them out and spend some f*cking money. City are about to win the league by doing that and yet they can't beat us on a normal day, imagine if we had a better squad.
The jury has to be out on Wenger, he's a failure and he has failed once again, don't tell me how he's done great because he put us in this mess and at the end of the day, he'll pocket a fat cheque, we'll sell our best players and replace them with kids/useless ones.
There's a lot that needs to happen and I pray it happens first, but most importantly a win at West Brom would allow us know what direction we're going in. Enjoy.

Last Home Game Of The Season : The Norwich Preview. 3 Points A Must
*rolls credits* What a season. We witnessed RVP have a phoenix-esque season and maturity from squad players such as Gibbs, Szczesny. Alex Song stood out alongside midfield maestro Arteta. 2012 was also the year of the Ox, while Wilshere did not make one single appearance. Needless to say it's been a mental season.
The curtains come closing on the Emirates for this season with this fixture. Usually we're already guaranteed of our league position at this stage, last time we weren't sure was 2005. Are we gonna need to pull a Sp*rs on Sp*rs and Newcastle this season like we did then? I hope not.
The midweek fixtures did not favor us at all as both Spurs & Toon won to cut the gap to one. Our fault really. Had we picked up more than one point from the Wigan & Stoke fixtures we won't be here. But we are, so we do what we allways do because we are the Arsenal. We'll be needing the fixtures to work in our favor this weekend though.
Norwich are guaranteed Premier League football for another season so here's hoping they put in a lethargic shift, they won't be no pushovers, no sir, just ask Sp*rs. These are the kind of games that can go 3 ways. We win emphatically. We get the win regardless of the scoreline. Or we get stung by them. I'm hoping for the former 2 like gooners worldwide. They have no serious injury worries.
Us on the other hand have a ton and Diaby is finally out of the season(surprise. No really we all are) and the Euros. The game comes to soon for Walcott who should make the West Brom finale. Arteta and Wilshere are longterm absentees with Mertesacker too. So expect the same team that faced Stoke with one or 2 changes. Here's how I would line up :
Predicted Line Up : Szczesny-Sagna-Kozzer-Vermaelen-Gibbs-Song-Ramsey-Rosicky-Benayoun-AOC-RVP .
Prediction : Arsenal 3-1 Norwich
Keep Gervinho on the bench, start AOC, we need pace and precision, Ramsey has one last chance to ease the anger of the fans I hope he grabs it well. I thought he was decent at Stoke, Gervinho was poor.
Tomorrow is also important as it's "Pat Rice Day". Wenger's number 2 has been with the club for over 40 years as a player and manager. Wow. That's a lot. He's retiring at the end of the season so let's ramp up the noise and show some love and appreciation. The game is also Arsene's 900th game in charge. The 3points cannot be overstated.
Before I go I'd like to offer my condolences to the family of former Nigerian striker Rashidi Yekini. He passed away yesterday night due to mental illness at the age of 49. Easily the greatest striker out of my country. He'll be remembered for his famed post goal celebration when he put his hands through the net to rejoice. RIP.
Success to the lads today. COYG
Why RVP's comments scare me + Details of Arsenal's visit to Nigeria.
Good morning gooners. How are you enjoying your start to the weekend? I mean…you'll work for less hours today so if I were you, I'd make it count, get all the work done and prepare for a weekend of exciting footie.
The FWA awards were held last night and RVP was in attendance to receive a deserved Player Of The Season Award. It was an enjoyable evening from what I've read.
He gave a fine speech about how proud he is to be captain of Arsenal and he also complemented his team mates (Song and Theo especially) for the assists and support they have given him this season. He mentioned the volley against Everton as his favourite goal of the season before apologizing to an Everton fan (who groaned) in the room. Top man!
One part of his speech however caught my attention and raised my fears of him leaving this summer.
If you ask the likes of Robert Pires how he feels, what he feels like he will say 'I feel like a Gunner' – and whatever happens with me I will always be a Gunner.'
Okay, maybe it's my paranoid alter ego taking over, but I just have this sneaky feeling about the portion I put in bold. It just feels like Henry 2007 all over again, reminding us of how much he loves the club, yet proceeding to break our hearts. Hopefully it's not the case, I pray to God I'm wrong.
That being said, if he does leave, we'll do the same thing we did when PV4, Thierry Henry and Cesc left the club, move on.
On a lighter note, Arsenal announced on the official website the team will be visiting Nigeria this summer. That's probably the best news I've got all month. Excited does not even begin to describe how I feel at the moment.
The second team will arrive in Abuja in July and play 2 games. The first team arrives in August and also play one game in Abuja, then an open training session and other off-field events in Uyo. Other events will hold in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Minna and Akure.
You can bet the atmosphere will be incredible throughout the team's stay in Nigeria. Believe me when I say Nigerians can't wait.
I was saying I wouldn't go home this holiday because I've got some business to attend to, but with my first love going to Nigeria? There's only one place I'll be come August.
That's yer lot for today guys. It's a very cold morning in Accra, Lord knows what would have become of me had I not come to school with a sweater. It's going to be a long day for me, a 7-page project documentation awaits me. I'd better stopped rambling then.
Just before I go, there's talk of Alex Song moving to Real Madrid in the summer. If Madrid show some interest, I don't see him turning them down. Now, while I'll be gutted to see his back, I wouldn't mind receiving 15million quid for him.
With Coquelin coming through the ranks, the blow of his departure will be softened. Plus we'll most likely sign that midfield creator we've always wanted, so we won't miss his assists.
What do you think? Good business or not?
See you in the comments, where if I find some time, I'll edit your comments to suit me. 😀

Johnson City, Tenn. -- Wake Forest's Carlos Brackley went 2-3 with a second-inning grand slam that propelled the Demon Deacons to a 15-1 win against East Tennessee State at ETSU's Cardinal Park.
Wake Forest starter Brad Comer (1-1) allowed just two hits and no runs in five innings of work to earn the win. The Demon Deacons' leadoff hitter Cory Sullivan went 2-6 with a three-run homer and a double.
After a scoreless first inning, Wake Forest struck for four runs in the top of the second. The Demon Deacons loaded the bases with no outs and cleared them when Brackley belted a grand slam to left center. Wake Forest loaded the bases again and chased ETSU starter Jackson Simerly (0-3). The Demon Deacons scored three more runs in the frame, two on a double by Chase Voshell.
Wake Forest struck for four more in the third, highlighted by a three-run bomb to right center by Cory Sullivan. Wake Forest increased their lead to 12-0 in the fourth, before Dan Conway's home run in the sixth gave the Deacons a 13-0 advantage.
Wake Forest loaded the bases on three walks in the seventh and scored two more runs to make it 15-0 after seven innings. The Bucs finally cracked into the run column with an RBI single by Danny Pugh in the home-half of the eighth. Pugh went 2-4 on the day.
ETSU will return to action on Saturday, April 8 with a 4 p.m. doubleheader against Southern Conference-rival VMI. The series finale will begin at 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 9.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The death of a man who was shoved in front of an oncoming New York City subway train spurred a police hunt on Friday for the woman seen pushing him, as the second such violent death this month left its imprint on the city's millions of subway riders.
The victim was shoved onto the tracks by a woman, described as heavy-set and Hispanic, who approached him from behind on the platform of an elevated station in the borough of Queens on Thursday evening, New York Police Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said in a statement.
The victim was pinned under the first car of an 11-car train. Police said they had yet to identify him due to the extent of his injuries.
The woman fled the scene of the chilling incident. Police released a copy of surveillance video showing her running down a street.
Witnesses said the woman appeared to be in her 20s, had been pacing back and forth on the platform and was talking to herself before the train arrived, according to police. It was unclear whether she knew the victim.
It was the second time in the past month that a New York subway rider was pushed to his death in front of a train and came just ahead of the New Year's holiday in a city choked with visitors.
On December 3, Ki-Suck Han was killed after being shoved onto subway tracks in Manhattan as a train entered the 49th Street station near Times Square. A suspect, Naeem Davis, has been charged with second-degree murder.
In 2011, 146 people were struck by New York subway trains, 47 of them fatally, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Such incidents have prompted subway riders to take precautions while waiting for trains. Commuter Chloe Morris, traveling from New Jersey, said she prefers to sit on a bench rather than stand on a station platform.
"I don't come close to the edge until a train comes," Morris said as she waited in the Times Square station, away from the tracks. "There's too many crazy people in the world."
Installing safety doors along subway platforms that block access to the tracks, which are in use in several major cities around the world, would help, said New Yorker Tom Walker as he waited for a subway on Friday.
New York's subway system, which is more than 100 years old and is one of the world's busiest, does not have barriers between the platforms and the tracks.
"It's an antiquated system. Of course people are going to fall in," Walker said.

The Principal has launched a new education effort to reach out to Hispanic participants in retirement plans who are struggling to save. Principal noted that for these workers, language isn't the only barrier. There are cultural differences that prevent Hispanic workers from contributing to their retirement accounts at the same rate as other workers.
"Our research found that simply translating materials to Spanish without considering overall cultural views falls short in encouraging U.S. Hispanic workers to save for retirement," Greg Burrows, senior vice president of The Principal, said in a statement. "Retirement plans are not universally appealing to all groups. This new program takes a holistic approach, recognizing that an employer-sponsored plan may be a new concept depending on the level of acculturation of the workforce, and incorporating culturally appropriate retirement education services."
The Principal pointed to research from the Employee Benefit Research Institute that shows Hispanic workers born outside the United States have the lowest rate of participation in retirement plans across companies of all sizes, regardless of income or age. EBRI found 70% of white workers and 69% of black workers with more than $50,000 in income are participating in their employer-sponsored plan, compared with 58% of Hispanic workers in the same income group.
Although those rates are low, The Principal found that compared to non-Hispanic workers, Hispanic employees were more likely to be saving outside their employer-sponsored plans.
As part of The Principal's "Hispanic Market Program" initiative, the company released a white paper entitled "U.S. Hispanic Retirement Attitudes: How Cultural Influences Can Impact Retirement Savings."
The key for advisors serving Hispanic plan participants, the report stated, is to help them become "acculturated." The report broke the Hispanic market into three segments:
- Unacculturated workers are the 26% of Hispanic workers born outside the U.S. who either use Spanish exclusively while at home, or who use Spanish more than English. They tend to be between 35 and 49 and have been in the United States for an average 14 years.
- Partially acculturated workers represent 63% of Hispanic adults born in the United States or born elsewhere having lived in the U.S. for an average 18 years. About half consider themselves "Spanish-dominant," while a third say they are bilingual.
- Mostly acculturated workers are primarily born in the United States and represent about 11% of Hispanic adults. Most say they are English-dominant and 22% call themselves bilingual.
The report noted that because Hispanic workers in the United States tend to be younger than retirement age, they are less exposed to retirement savings plans.
Hispanic workers tend to be more conservative, too. According to 2009 research from the Hispanic Institute and Americans for a Secure Retirement, Hispanic investors in the United States prefer to use easily liquidated, conservative savings products. Unacculturated Hispanic workers also tend to distrust politicians and institutions, making a government-regulated retirement plan less appealing.
The paper suggested advisors working with Hispanic workers focus on the cultural context of saving for retirement rather than simply providing translated materials.
In fact, simply translating materials can be treacherous. As an example, The Principal referred to its own tagline. "Our tagline at The Principal is 'We'll give you an edge.' The literal translation into Spanish is 'We give you a corner.' That is not meaningful or reassuring, which is why we transcreated the tagline to read 'Te damos la ventaja.' This comes closer to what we intend to communicate: 'We give you the advantage.'"
The Principal suggested Hispanic workers tend to be more receptive when advisors emphasize that setting up a retirement plan is not time consuming and that even small contributions can have an impact. They should also stress "do-it-for-me" types of investments like target-date funds that are appropriate for conservative investors.
"Hispanics are expected to account for 75% of the nation's workforce growth in the next decade," said Burrows. "Financial professionals have a significant opportunity to help employers meet the specific retirement needs of this younger, burgeoning demographic. Our program is a differentiator because it goes beyond language to address cultural influences."

The Digital Library is a database of articles about successful VoiceThread projects. Our hope is to create a resource that offers guidance and inspiration for people undertaking new projects. Please contribute a VoiceThread to help the Digital Library grow.
Non-Traditional Online Students
This was a project for Electronic Word English Class at Eastern Oregon University. It is a great example of what can be done with VoiceThread for distance learning students. Both students that worked on the project live in different states.
Upstanders, Not Bystanders - Gail Desler and Natalie Bernasconi
The Upstanders, Not Bystanders VoiceThread addresses an essential aspect of digital citizenship by asking the question, "What does it mean to be an upstander?" - as opposed to a bystander, bully or target/victim. In less than a year since its March 2013 posting, this dynamic VoiceThread has had over a 1000 visitors and is quickly becoming a tool for connected learning by inviting and honoring stories of what it means to cross the line from bystander to upstander.
5th and 6th-grade Digital literacy project from Julienne Hogarth
I gave the learners the images and they researched and posted information and comments about Dale Chihuly's life and art. The learners were thrilled to use Voicethread as a tool in their learning as well as becoming very excited about the art work.
5th Grade - Digital portfolios for student-led parent confs.
As we're an international school, I was looking for a seamless way that relatives in other countries (Grandparents, parents away working etc) could view, comment, give feedback on the digital portfolio.
8th Grade - Refugee stories from Creative Technology
VoiceThread has enabled refugee communities to share stories about what it means to come to a new country to live.
6th Grade Class trip from Jennifer Bamesberger
We used VoiceThread to document our class trip to the Maker Faire 2008 in the San Francisco Bay Area as part of our study of the Spirit of Creativity. For some of our sixth graders, this was the first long trip away from home without family.

The other day I was walking down 11th and saw this sign on the old Bi-Rite store at Park Rd and 11th, 3400 11th St NW, which is caddy-corner from Red Rocks. There were a lot of rumors about the place, that the Warehouse art space would be going there and so on. Warehouse's move fell through, and I'd been hearing that the owner of Asylum in Adams Morgan was looking at it.
Looks like that is indeed the case, as the website on the sign, for architecture company 3DG (hard to read there) says just that:
Meridian Pint will occupy the entire ground floor and a portion of the lower level. Owner John Andrade, who has co-owned Asylum in Adams Morgan with his brother since 1991, plans to offer an American comfort-food menu with a generous vegetarian/vegan section; 20 beers on tap with an emphasis on Belgians; and a wide selection of wines and mixed drinks. The lower level will feature a lounge and bar area, and DJ entertainment is contemplated.The top floor will be office space, with 3DG's offices and a travel company, Solimar, located there. Here's the full release on 3DG's website. The company also worked on
Sounds like a great addition to the hood. I'll try to get more info from Asylum and 3DG, such as timetable, plans, etc, so stay tuned.

At a Memorial Day cookout, I joined a small group of friends huddled around the tiny, glowing display of a digital camera. On the screen was an unusual-looking lobster on a white background. One half of it was brown and the other half bright red as if someone cooked exactly half of the crustacean.
Personally, I've never seen a lobster quite like the one on the camera. As I inspected the image more closely, Matt Mataronas, a lobsterman from Little Compton, R.I., and brother of the man who caught the rare variety, explained that in 30 years of being a lobsterman, even his father had only seen one other lobster like it.
Split, two-toned, half-and-half, or bi-colored lobsters are so rare — occurring in one of every 100 million caught — that even scientists are unsure why the two sides of the langoustine don't match. There are some theories about why some clawed crawlers are both brown and red, and studies to discover more about the mysteries lobster shells are in the works.
"People have wondered about lobster color ever since they were first boiled and they go for a muddy brown color to a bright red," Michael Tlusty, director of research at the New England Aquarium, tells me.
Most lobster shells are composed of three colors: red, yellow and blue. Lobsters eat shrimp, algae and other sea creatures that contain cartenoid pigment, which colors the lobsters' skin red (If they don't eat the pigment, they remain white). When the pigment is transferred to a lobster's shell, proteins bind to it, turning it blue. As more and more pigment-protein complexes start to stack up in the shell, they bend and turn a yellow color, according to Tlusty.
There are also blue lobsters, which produce an overabundance of protein due to a genetic mutation, according to the Mystic Aquarium, and yellow lobsters, which are different colors because of the stacks of complexes in and beneath the shell. Lobsters that are red lack the protein that makes them blue. And all lobsters, except white ones, turn red when cooked because heat breaks the proteins and frees the red pigment.
Researchers I spoke with think that split lobsters form differently on each side because something happens during development, often resulting in a lobster that is half male and half female. Bob Bayer, the animal and veterinary sciences director at the Lobster Institute through the University of Maine, writes in an email that he's "seen quite a few of these mixed-colored lobsters. They are all hermaphrodites."
Last summer, a lobsterman donated a split crustacean to the Mount Desert Oceanarium in Maine. "Something happened to that lobster when it was just a few cells big," says David Mills, the director of the oceanarium, which includes a lobster hatchery and a lobster museum at its Bar Harbor location.
Tlusty agrees with Mill. He hypothesizes that when the first two cells divide, they might completely split. But "those sorts of things are so rare that that's why we see them so infrequently," he says.
Aside from the fact that the anomaly is biologically unusual, lobsters that are two colors might also be uncommon because they don't survive as long as their brown-colored counterparts. "We could see so few of them because it is harder for them to blend into their surroundings," says Tlusty, making them more obvious to predators.
Tlusty's interest in the color of lobster shells stems from his research on shell disease. He is conducting research to find out how the color of lobster shells might affect rates of the illness. Bacteria consume the shells of lobsters infected with shell disease, a problem that is currently affecting crustaceans off the coast of Rhode Island and parts of Massachusetts. If the disease continues to move up the coast, it could infect Maine lobsters, which account for a large portion of the U.S. lobster industry. With his team, Tlusty is studying lobster shells to determine how they grow, what environmental factors change the color of their shells, and what that might tell scientists about which lobsters are more susceptible to disease.
As an environmental journalist, I realized my luck when I saw one of these rare creatures — even if it was just on a camera. As researchers uncover more information on why lobsters are different colors and what that might mean for their health, crustaceans of unexpected hues will continue to make news and the occasional appearance at cookouts, either on a digital camera or on my dinner plate.

Unfortunately, for personal reasons German soprano Anja Harteros is not able to take part in the rehearsals for La bohème as planned, and it has been necessary to replace her in the production. The role will now be sung by Irish soprano Celine Byrne.
Celine Byrne has previously sung the role of Mimì for Scottish Opera. She has performed around the world in concert, together with artists including José Carreras and Roberto Alagna. She has previously sung in concert with Joseph Calleja in Istanbul, conducted by Sascha Goetzel, with the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra. Future engagements include Violetta (La traviata) in Bulgaria, and she will open the 2012/13 season in Klagenfurt, Austria, as Agathe (Der Freischütz) under Alexander Soddy.

New York, New York. In a city known for its skyscrapers, theater/nightlife, and that "love us or get lost" attitude, it's hard to pick just one thing to represent the Big Apple. But when you talk about the city (especially driving there), it's hard not to mention the iconic NYC taxi.
To honor the rides that give us designated drivers on demand, here's a little history on NYC taxicabs.
1800s – The horse-and-carriage-days
Before there were taxicabs, New Yorkers relied on horse-drawn carriages, known as cabriolets (or cabs for short), to get from here to there. While it may sound romantic and glamorous to travel the streets of New York like Cinderella, the reality was anything but a fairy tale.
Carriages were slow, causing congestion throughout the city. And the horses themselves, aside from smelling like horses, caused a huge amount of waste. (All that hay has to go somewhere, right?)
Clearly, the city needed alternative transportation.
1890s – Electric taxicabs and the first car accident
When the 1890s rolled around, electric (and steam-powered) cars were zooming down streets throughout the country, including in New York. And New Yorkers, ever enterprising, decided to use these electric cars to compete with the ole horse-drawn buggies — debuting the first electric hansom cabs in 1897.
Quieter, cleaner, and faster, the first electric cabs were immensely popular. But their arrival also brought (surprise, surprise) traffic accidents. On September 13, 1899, an electric taxicab struck Henry H. Bliss as he dismounted from a streetcar, making this traffic accident the first recorded in New York City history.
1907 – Gas-powered New York taxis enter the scene
Electric taxis were a vast improvement over the equine rides, but they weren't completely ideal. Electric cars — while the height of technological innovation today — were impractical in their infancy. Batteries weighed around 800 pounds, making them slow. And let's not forget that whole recharging thing.
So when gas-powered taxis appeared in France, American entrepreneur Harry N. Allen saw a great opportunity. He purchased the city's first fleet — 65 shiny red Darracq cabs, fully loaded with fare meters — from France, where they were already in use.
(In case you're wondering, the term "taxi" stems from the French "taximètre," a combination of the words "taxe," or tariff, and "metre," or measure. Makes sense, huh?)
On October 1, 1907, the very first U.S. taxis traveled down 5th Avenue to the spanking-new Plaza Hotel on 59th Street. And the streets of New York haven't been the same since.
1920s – Checker cabs make their debut
Taxi cabs in the early days came in all different colors, from red to green to yellow. But the iconic Checker cabs didn't make their grand entrance until 1922 when Morris Markin founded the Checker Cab Manufacturing Corporation.
Though produced in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the Checker cabs, distinguished by their black and white checker designs, were made famous in NYC. And they were hugely popular from the get-go. In fact, during the 1920s, more than 7,000 Checker cabs transported people to their destinations in the city that never sleeps.
1960s – NYC taxis turn yellow
By the second half of the 20th century, taxis were a vital part of life in New York. But with the proliferation of taxis came the proliferation of unlicensed, illegal taxicabs.
To standardize the industry and to help passengers distinguish between legal and illegal rides, lawmakers required all certified taxicabs to be painted yellow in 1967. To date, medallion yellow taxis remain the only cabs authorized to respond to street hails.
1990s – The last Checker cab checks out
As the decades changed, so did the appearance of the taxis (the color, of course, stayed the same). Over the years, Fords, Plymouths, Chevies, and of course, Checker all graced New York's city streets.
But all good things come to an end. By the '90s, it was the end of the road for Checker with only 2 cabs still chugging along. The last NYC Checker cab (#1N11) retired in June of '99.

Feet usually have an arch on the inside portion of the foot. A flat foot is a foot that has lost or never developed this arch. It is often associated with the lower part of the legs being angled outwards
Most flat feet are flexible. This type rarely causes problems and usually does not require treatment. Rigid flat feet can cause problems and should be treated.
Infants and young children naturally have flat feet. The arch should develop over time. Sometimes, the arch does not develop. It is not always clear why this happens.
Flat feet may develop because of:
- Ruptured or damaged tendon that supports the arch
- Medical conditions that affect muscles or nerves in the foot
- Degenerative changes in certain foot joints
- Ligament damage in the foot
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of flat feet include:
- Family history
- Diseases that cause muscle or nerve damage, such as peripheral neuropathy , diabetes, cerebral palsy , spina bifida , or muscular dystrophy
- Foot injuries
- Conditions of the feet that can injure foot tissue, such as osteoarthritis
- Conditions present at birth, such as excess laxity of joint capsules and ligaments, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
- Obesity
Flat feet may not cause any symptoms at all. Rigid flat feet may cause:
- Pain
- Calluses , blisters, or skin redness on the inner side of the foot
- A stiff foot
- Weakness or numbness of the foot
- Rapid wearing out of shoes—worn shoes lean in toward each other
- Difficulty or pain with activities like running—in the foot, knee or hip
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical and foot exam will be done. Flat feet can be diagnosed by appearance. Doing simple tasks during the exam can help determine if the foot is rigid.
If the flat foot is rigid and causing problems, treatment will be with a foot specialist. Flat foot treatment options may include:
Physical Therapy and Exercises
Physical therapy may relieve discomfort. A specific stretching and strengthening program may be used. Exercises can help with the strength of the surrounding muscles. They may relieve some of the pressure in the foot.
Orthotics and Support
Orthotics are shoe inserts that support the foot. These inserts may help to reduce pain and disability in some people. In mild cases, a well-fitting pair of shoes with arch support may be all that is needed.
Flat feet caused by nerve or muscle disease may need special braces.
Feet that do not respond to the treatments above may need surgery. The surgery will help to create a supportive arch.
Well-fitted shoes with good arch support may help prevent flat feet. Maintaining a healthy weight may also lower wear and tear on the arches.

Technical Paper
Transition Materials for Automotive Applications
Transition materials which are used to join dissimilar metals such as steel and aluminum on automobiles are described in this paper. The problems associated with conventional methods of joining these two metals include galvanic corrosion, brittle welds, reduced mechanical properties and reduced design flexibility. These problems are solved through the use of clad transition materials at the joints. Transition materials are fabricated by roll bonding dissimilar metals to form the clad materials and subsequently forming the materials to the desired configurations. The clad material allows the actual transition from one metal to the other to occur at the clad bond interface and thus only similar metal joints exist in the assembly. Welding studies describe the high strength and ductility of steel to aluminum joints through the use of steel clad aluminum transition materials.

Organisations with a high staff turnover need to take a long, hard look at how they operate. If you read my blog regularly, you will know that I am a major advocate of introducing fun, happiness and positivity to the workplace. Companies that don't offer flexibility to their employees will quickly lose staff as the modern team member wants to contribute to the business but also seek freedom and flexibility in their work arrangements.

What's the secret ingredient to productivity?
Do you remember how much energy you had as a child? Once we reach adulthood, we look at children and marvel at their energy and the fact that they never seem to get tired. Adults on the other hand feel drained and have little energy at work. It seems amazing to think that companies have yet to truly figure out how to improve staff mood and productivity. Instead, they are content to keep things as they are and allow their team to feel tired, unmotivated, and fed up.
Happiness leads to productivity

I've long thought that a libertarian cable channel would be a great thing, however Beck, as we all know, does not have good standing in the libertarian community (and more importantly, anywhere else) yet he's calling this a "libertarian channel." So because of Beck's demeanor that people know him by (which I don't need to tell you is quite negative) I am not quite sure this is such a good thing. Beck himself doesn't even seem to be that much of a libertarian, and his former programming that he held on Fox practically makes him look like an absolute nutcase, with every other day him claiming that there was a "new Marxist plot to take over the great United States of America." Loudly enough as this claim may seem, in his crazed manner it just comes off as being absurd and downright retarded, as well as backless.
Ordinarily, Beck just seems like a neocon, with many of his statements coming off as downright authoritarian (such as his bit on how "video games cause violence in real life" and that we need to "put a stop to this right now.")
Overall, I really don't think Beck is the right guy for this - his new channel will most likely come off as being a new version of Fox News that revolves entirely around conservative programming that will...maybe...have a libertarian leaning edge to it here and there. I could be wrong though - I'm just now learning about this whole thing, and there's only a few articles out there that talk about this whole affair.
I'd like to know what everyone here thinks about this - is it a good idea, or is Beck going to make himself look like a fool as he always does and inevitably go down nastily while he's screaming that he's a "libertarian?"

Good call...
Glenn Beck Reveals His Agenda 21 Ads And Attacks Alex Jones
Published an hour ago:
I didn't watch the whole thing, but it comes as absolutely no surprise. More than half the time he is on the air, Beck looks like he belongs in a straight jacket...
So I suppose this whole "Blaze" venture of his is going to contribute even more to misconceptions about libertarianism for anyone who watches the channel, and fuel the wonderful idea that libertarianism is a "far-right fundamentalist crazy belief."
Well I have no clue what Glenn Beck would fill an entire news station with, but whatever it is I know I sure as hell wouldn't want it associated with anything I call myself. It might be time for a name change guys :P
Go on VR, Neodoxy. New article by me where one of the things I cover is that the most accurate term for us is "Rothbardian."
SM - many AnCaps are not Rothbardians, though.
I still hold it to be the most accurate title. Friedmanite anarcho-capitalism is something I simply hold as a variant of something Rothbard formulated - this is in the same way of Marx. There are Orthodox Marxists, and then there are Libertarian Marxists. Both are not the same - but they are still Marxists. In the same way, any anarcho-capitalist is still a Rothbardian, whether it be Orthodox Rothbardianism or Rothbardian-Friedmanism.
I hope David Friedman doesn't still lurk on here, I don't want him seeing this and kicking my ass.
SkepticalMetal:I still hold it to be the most accurate title.
And "anarcho-capitalist" is what, chopped liver?
Friedmanite anarcho-capitalism is something I simply hold as a variant of something Rothbard formulated - this is in the same way of Marx. There are Orthodox Marxists, and then there are Libertarian Marxists. Both are not the same - but they are still Marxists. In the same way, any anarcho-capitalist is still a Rothbardian, whether it be Orthodox Rothbardianism or Rothbardian-Friedmanism.
That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Why is it so important to you that everyone be conflated to fit under some subset umbrella label?
I hope David Friedman doesn't still lurk on here
He usually doesn't...only when people call out his name.
Ain't that right, David Friedman?
SM - many AnCaps are not Rothbardians, though.
What are the main differences between them?
Utilitarian vs. deontological, mainly.
@ John James
Your metaphorical sarcasm amuses me. To your second derailment - unfortunately, labels are how the world runs. For the individual to continue in the sedition against the top of the chain of aggressors, it is of the utmost magnitude that individuals who adhere to this idea of "private property anarchism" resort to the most specific term there is for this - "Rothbardian." It is how Lacan says - it is impossible to know the "real" through words. This is the best we can do.
Looks like the FOX crowd is really trying to ratchet up the effort to assimilate the word 'libertarian' into the aether of stupid.
I'm just gonna call myself a liberal again.
Be sure to add "classical" on the front. Just saying "liberal" is going down the road to some major confusion.
Sorry to disappoint you ... . I don't have to lurk--I have a friend named Google.
Are you sure you don't want to describe Murray's view as Molinari-Rothbardism? Molinari's version of anarcho-capitalism was published about a century before Rothbard's.
I think the relevant question is one of intellectual influence--who got what ideas from whom. Neither Rothbard nor I was influenced by Molinari (or, I would guess, Spooner or Tucker or Godwin), so it doesn't make a lot of sense to describe our views as a variant of theirs. I wasn't influenced by either Rothbard or Rand, so it doesn't make sense to describe my views as a variant of theirs. I'm not sure if Rand was a significant influence on Rothbard or not—their views seem to have a good deal in common, despite Rand's rejection of anarchy. Perhaps you should classify Rothbard as a heretical Objectivist.
Outside of conventional neo-classical economics, I think the only significant source for my ideas would be Heinlein, whose fictional sketch of a society with private property and without government struck me as evidence that such a thing was not impossible, hence a reason to think through how it might work in something more like our society.
Going back to the subject of content rather than influence, could you point out where in Rothbard he describes the legal system as coming out of a competitive market for legal rules and provides the economic analysis of why such a market would tend to produce efficient (or libertarian) law? I'm certainly not an expert in his writing, not having read a lot of it, but my impression was that that was the central difference between his view of anarchy and mine. He expected the legal system to be deduced by libertarian philosophers, I expected it to be generated by profit making firms.
I don't think "utilitarian vs deontological" is right, for two reasons.
To begin with, my arguments are consequentialist (rather than deontological) but not always utilitarian. Perhaps more important, that's a disagreement about how best to argue for libertarian (anarchist or otherwise) conclusions, not about why they are true. My view is:
1. Pace Rand and various other people, we don't actually have convincing arguments to show that our moral position is correct, so telling someone who disagrees with us that he should be against (say) the minimum wage, or taxation, because they violate individual rights doesn't work--when he asks us why someone has the right not to be taxed but doesn't have the right to (say) welfare when he can't get a job, we have no adequate response.
2. Individuals mostly want about the same outcomes--for people to be happy, healthy, well fed, etc. Certainly there is some disagreement, but not enough to make the results socialism actually produces superior, from the point of view of any large number of people, to the results capitalism actually produces, and similarly for less extreme differences in systems. So if we can convince people about our positive views--what the consequences would be of alternative institutions--we don't have to convince them of our normative views--what consequences one should want.
I conclude that the sensible way of arguing for libertarian conclusions is consequentialist.
But that isn't the central division between my views and Rothbard's, since both of us saw both normative and positive arguments in favor of libertarianism. The central division, I think, is how each of us imagines libertarian law coming out of the institutions we propose. I describe and try to analyze the economics of a market for legal rules, and conclude that it will tend to produce something close to libertarian law. He, as best I can tell, expected philosophers to demonstrate what the law ought to be, everyone else to be convinced, and thus for there to be no demand for non-libertarian law.
On a serious note, and you may have mentioned this before, I'm not sure, but - do you hold simply "anarcho-capitalism" to be the best title? The problem I have with it are the many besmirching responses by left-anarchists on how it's a "contradiction." The term capitalism is of course a very soiled term.
Satisfied now?
Now that your ignorant insistence on lumping so many people together under too narrow a field has been shown to be so, I have a few questions regarding your other comments...
SkepticalMetal:Your metaphorical sarcasm amuses me.
Good! That's usually the point of metaphors that include the phrase "chopped liver". (Everyone loves imagery)
To your second derailment
Derailment? It was a direct response to a comment you made. I literally said your whole mumbo jumbo about Friedman getting his anarcho-capitalism from Rothbard, and so therefore every anarcho-capitalist is Rothbardian, and there is such a thing as Libertarian Marxists (as if that's somehow not an oxymoron), and blah blah blah...didn't make a whole lot of sense. And it doesn't. And thanks to you, Friedman even came in and confirmed it.
- unfortunately, labels are how the world runs.
I never said anything against using labels. This is basically the same straw man argument used by socialists against anyone who opposes state-run institutions...
[E]very time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.[9]
I ask why you insist on lumping together an entire group of people — many of whom subscribe to quite different philosophies — not only under one single label...but also why the label you insist on has to be an actual subset of already established umbrella terms (e.g. "libertarian", "anarcho-capitalist")...and you imply that I am an ignorant rube who is against labels and needs to be told "how the world runs."
It wasn't 6 months ago that you first showed up here asking about an "official national language" endorsed by the state, under a "libertarian government".
Let's try and keep a bit of humility.
For the individual to continue in the sedition against the top of the chain of aggressors, it is of the utmost magnitude that individuals who adhere to this idea of "private property anarchism" resort to the most specific term there is for this - "Rothbardian."
I'm sure there are many who would strongly disagree that everyone using the same term to label themselves is even on the first page of important things to work for...let alone "of the utmost magnitude".
And exactly why must they resort to "the most specific" term? You haven't established this. And finally, who said "Rothbardian" is the most specific term for it?
You have a lot of presentation to do if you expect to have any of this pass as an actual argument.

Christion Jones became the first Alabama player since at least the 1940s to have two returns for touchdowns, Vinnie Sunseri brought back an interception for another TD, and the top-ranked Crimson Tide overcame a sluggish offensive performance to beat Virginia Tech 35-10 on Saturday.
Jones scored on a 72-yard punt return less than 2 minutes into the game, then scooted loose on a kickoff for a 94-yard touchdown that led the Crimson Tide (1-0) to a win that could've been much tougher to start its quest for an unprecedented third straight national title.
For good measure, the junior receiver also hauled in a 38-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter to blow it open against the Hokies (0-1), who largely shut down AJ McCarron and Alabama's highly touted offense.
The Tide had just 97 yards total offense at halftime but were up 28-10. McCarron & Co. contributed only one of those TDs, and that came when they worked with a short field after a wobbly Virginia Tech punt.
Sunseri stymied a brief bit of momentum Virginia Tech had after Trey Edmunds broke off a 77-yard touchdown run, cutting Alabama's early lead to 14-7. The Hokies held on defense, but Logan Thomas telegraphed a pass over the middle, Sunseri stepped in to make the pick and, without breaking stride, took it all the way to the end zone for a 38-yard touchdown.
Virginia Tech's last glimmer of hope faded after Cody Journell booted a 39-yard field goal late in the first half. On the ensuing kickoff, Jones appeared to be stopped short of his own 30. Then, suddenly, he burst out from a pack of would-be tacklers and was gone. The return left Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer — whose program was long known for its stellar special teams — waving his cap and shaking his head in disgust.
Alabama finally put together an impressive offensive series late in the third quarter, capped by McCarron's scoring pass to Jones. Still, the Tide managed just 206 yards on offense, far shy of its 445.5-yard average last season.
McCarron was photographed arriving in Atlanta wearing a boot on his right foot, reportedly because of an ingrown toenail, and he looked a bit off after being the nation's top-rated passer last season. There was an interception — he had only three all of last season — and also a penalty for intentional grounding. He finished 10-of-23 for 110 yards.
T.J. Yeldon rushed for 75 yards on 17 carries, but the Tide finished with just 96 yards on the ground.
While the Tide has no shortage of offensive skill players, the line lost three starters from last year's championship team. Apparently, there's still some work to do in the trenches, which coach Nick Saban will surely focus on over the next two weeks before Alabama heads to College Station to face the new Southeastern Conference rival that provided its lone loss of 2012 — Texas A&M and Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel.
Jones' performance masked the lackluster showing at the Georgia Dome, as he became the first Crimson Tide player since at least 1944 — that's as far back as the Alabama record book goes — to score two touchdowns in a game on returns. And, for the first time since 1995, Alabama scored three non-offensive TDs in a game.
Virginia Tech, looking to rebound from a 7-6 season that was its worst since 1992, also struggled on offense under new coordinator Scot Loeffler. Fifth-year senior quarterback Logan Thomas looked like a raw freshman, completing only 5-of-26 for 59 yards, thought his numbers would've been a bit better if not for several dropped passes.
Take away Edmunds' long run and the Hokies managed just 135 yards.
Christion Jones leads No. 1 Bama past VaTech 35-10

License-plate tracking plan withdrawn amid outcry about privacy
(CNN) — Homeland security officials on Wednesday abruptly shelved a proposal to build a national database of license-plate scans after criticism from privacy advocates.
The proposal, which had been posted online last week by the office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, sought a contractor who could establish a searchable database of license plates, with the times and locations where they were spotted by traffic cameras and other sources.
But in a statement late Wednesday, the department announced a reversal.
"The solicitation, which was posted without the awareness of ICE leadership, has been canceled," said spokeswoman Gillian Christensen. "While we continue to support a range of technologies to help meet our law enforcement mission, this solicitation will be reviewed to ensure the path forward appropriately meets our operational needs."
It was unclear whether the proposal was dead or was merely withdrawn for revisions.
Under the proposal, officers in the field would have been able to use their smartphones to look up a license plate and see every time and every place the vehicle had been spotted by a camera.
"The database should track vehicle license plate numbers that pass through cameras or are voluntarily entered into the system from a variety of sources (access control systems, asset recovery specialists, etc.) and uploaded to share with law enforcement," the original solicitation read.
The proposed National License Plate Recognition database was to have been used by immigration officers to find and arrest fugitives.
Supporters of license-plate scanning, like former New York state homeland security chief Michael Balboni, said it could have been an invaluable tool for finding dangerous suspects.
"What license-plate readers have been used for most effectively is (trying) to do hits against outstanding warrants, against unlicensed drivers, against folks who have shown before that they've been involved in some kind of crime — that's where the hits come."
But since the solicitation was posted and featured in the Washington Post, privacy advocates have warned that the database sounded like a dragnet that would track the whereabouts of all drivers, including people who have done nothing wrong, and that the records might be held indefinitely.
"The idea is, we want to collect everything on perfectly innocent people and then dip into it whenever we feel like it," said Kade Crockford of the American Civil Liberties Union. "There have already been quite a few cases of abuse. Essentially, the problem is that this is creating a nationwide warrantless location-tracking list."
Opponents also said the tracking of cars would reveal personal information about drivers, like whether they went to church, where they slept at night, or whether they had been to an abortion clinic or a political protest.

Avid gamers know about N.O.V.A. – Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance, arguably the best iOS shooter that stuns with console-like visuals, huge environments and epic sci-fi storyline akin to Halo. The third installment of the series is being developed using Epic Games's Unreal Engine 3, reports Pocket Gamer:
Word has it that shooter sequel N.O.V.A. 3 is among the four titles built around the engine and will be out later this year.
It's been known for some time that the Paris-based publisher licensed Unreal Engine for use in four upcoming iOS games due this year. Little do we know at this stage about N.O.V.A. 3, but we're inclined to think the game will be optimized to take advantage of the A5 chip ticking inside iPad 2 (and soon in iPhone 5 and fifth-generation iPod touch).
That a N.O.V.A. sequel is being built around Unreal Engine is great news for the fans of the series and those yearning for more killer titles to show off the power of the A4/A5 chip beyond id Software's RAGE HD that runs a version of the id Tech 5 engine and Chair's Infinity Blade which is driven by Unreal Engine.

These days, I'm making and keeping notes differently for my speeches, and wondering how you keep notes for your speeches and presentations. Here are the new tools I like best for taking and keeping speech notes:
- The Amazon Kindle: You know I like the Kindle to serve as my speech text or talking points holder. But I also use it for notes. You can dog-ear pages you are reading; highlight specific passages; look up words using the built-in dictionary; add notes using the built-in keyboard; search for, buy and download additional references right to the device; email PDFs and Word documents to it to review and clip; and even have it read things to you as you're putting your speech together. (Now if it could just make coffee!) On a recent plane ride, I sat next to a woman preparing a sermon, dog-earing book pages and writing in the margins. When I showed her how to do the same things on the Kindle, she was hooked. Amazon just dropped the Kindle price to $189. Now is a great time to check it out.
- Evernote: I've been experimenting with this relatively new note-taking service, which offers desktop and mobile versions so you can use it anywhere. You can keep photos, video, audio, text, web pages and more in Evernote. No time to take notes? Take a picture of something, even a page of text, with the mobile app on your phone and save it to a notebook. Everything you put into Evernote is completely searchable, which is what sold me on it, and if you're going to keep a lot of notes in it, you can pay for premium service (the basic service is free). Working on a panel or with a co-presenter? You can give that person access to a particular notebook, so you can both refer to it. Thinking out loud or practicing lines extemporaneously? Save them as a voice memo to capture those priceless phrases. If you want to archive your existing speeches, just scan them into Evernote.
- Qwotebook has some clever features that will help writers and speechwriters of all kinds. Just out of its beta test phase, Qwotebook's a social network where you can collect quotations: your own, things you overhear, or famous quotes you find. Clicking on the name of the person quoted will take you to a collection of their quotes. I'm starting to play with it to pull together hard-to-find quotes, to collect good quotes from speeches I write for clients, and to share special collections of quotes with others. I suspect it also will be a good source for very current quotes--just troll the main stream of quotes from everyone and sample what looks interesting.

Liberty News
More companies partner with Liberty to offer tuition discounts for employees
Liberty University has partnered with education benefit provider Beneplace to expand the school's growing list of corporate education affiliates. Employees of companies such as outdoor retail giant Cabela's, Time Warner, and EchoStar can now take part in Liberty's Advantage Program.
The Advantage Program allows employees of its partner corporations to enroll in Liberty's online programs and receive benefits such as a 15 percent tuition discount and a waived application fee. The tuition discount extends to spouses of partner employees as well.
"Our goal is to provide our business partners with affordable degree options that give their employees the knowledge and skills they can use right away in their positions to further their standing in the marketplace," said Steve Peterson, Liberty University's executive director of online admissions.
Since expanding partnerships to make the Advantage Program more accessible two years ago, Liberty has seen numerous individuals able to meet their educational goals. In this academic year alone, more than 1,000 students have enrolled at Liberty through the program.
Currently there are thousands of companies — from small businesses to corporate giants — that have access to the Advantage Program, either through a direct partnership with Liberty or through educational consulting services like Beneplace, EdAssist, and EdCor. (Check your company's benefits provider to see if they offer the Advantage Program.)
These educational consulting services connect employees of companies like UPS, Verizon, Genworth Financial, and Teva Pharmaceuticals with the Advantage Program. Liberty's direct corporate partnerships include AT&T, Wells Fargo, Chick-fil-A, Anthem, and Centra Health.
According to Peterson, the expansion of Liberty's corporate partnerships speaks to the value of the educational programs the university offers. With 160 online programs of study, companies recognize that Liberty offers what their employees need to further their education and serve better in their positions.
"We take our highly sought-after degree programs and make them accessible through our online format so that working professionals can continue in their careers and meet their family obligations while advancing in their knowledge within a given academic discipline."
Liberty University is the nation's largest private, nonprofit online educator.

I think most people who played paintball before would agree that it's one of the best outdoor game. Paintball is suitable for team building activities as well as leisure especially with a group of friends.
Ultimate Paintball is no doubt one of the largest online paintball gun store in the world. Besides selling paintball guns online, there are also paintball safety gears, paintball markers, paintball masks, paintball tactical masks and many more.
For your information, some good paintball guns are not cheap at all. For example the special edition of WDP Angel 1 costs you about $1.5 k. If you are looking for reasonably affordable paintball gun package, you can get it between $120-430. Some of the top selling guns are the Tippmann A-5, Tippmann 98 Custom, Smart Parts Ion, and Spyder Pilot ACS.
You can make payment online using credit cards or through Paypal. Shipping charges is free!
