Syracuse-Cornell Takes A Step Back
November 30th, 2010 by Brian G.The 2009-10 season was an unforgettable one for Steve Donahue's Cornell squad. On their way to a Sweet 16 berth, including a tournament game in Syracuse, the Big Red beat Alabama, UMass, Temple, Wisconsin, St. John's and put a scare into Kansas on the Jayhawks' home floor.
Once the season ended, however, things changed in a way that is to be expected from successful teams from non-Power Six conferences: The robust senior class led by Ryan Witman, Louis Dale and Jeff Foote graduated. Donahue made a major leap to helm the program at Boston College. Back in Ithaca, in stepped Bill Courtney from Virginia Tech and several players began the transition from bench player to starter. This team is night and day from last season's squad.
At 2-4, Cornell has lost some close games and gutted out a couple decent, but no one they have played to this point has the firepower of their tough schedule from last season. Despite the non-con sluggishness by SU, Tuesday night's game against the Orange presents one of the toughest challenges the Big Red will face all season, the other being upstart Minnesota later this week.
Like last season, this edition of Cornell is more comfortable in a game at a slow-to-moderate pace, not forcing themselves into a track meet. They average around 70 possessions in each of their last four games, a rate that keeps them fresh on defense, where they have allowed just 66 points per game. They've also let up less than one point per defensive possession in all but one contest so far (a loss to Seton Hall).
The key for SU is to get Cornell running more than they want to with defensive pressure to create turnovers and easy transition opportunities. The Orange will also be able to get ahead by cleaning up on the glass like they should (the Big Red averages a measly 28.5 rebounds per game). However, SU must balance their comfort running with smart decisions from Scoop Jardine, who runs the backcourt. Scoop has shot just 8-37 in his last three games; while SU is trying to find scoring consistency, I'm fairly confident that Jardine putting up 12 shots a game isn't going to improve the team in the long run. Brandon Triche also needs to continue to be assertive. Against Georgia Tech, he posted his highest scoring total since his 16-point game against Canisius, which came on the heels of Jim Boeheim calling for him to be more aggressive.
In the frontcourt, look for Kris Joseph to become more consistent when matched against undersized 6'4 senior Max Groebe. In the paint, Rick Jackson should have a field day with Adam Wire, who hardly qualifies as a forward checking in at 6'5. While bigger opponents will eventually mitigate Baye Moussa Keita's effectiveness, Tuesday will not be one of those times. The mismatches across the paint way so heavily in SU's favor that even Fab Melo should be able to make some kind of positive impact.

American Indian homeless proposal not funded even after MCT appealed By Gary Blair Acording to Gordon Thayer, Housing Specialist for the BIA in Minneapolis, one in 10 American Indians could be homeless in Minnesota, the 1990 census counted Indians in Minnesota at 49,909. Thayer, former tribal chairman of the Lac Courte Oreilles Chippewa Reservation in Wisconsin said the problem is more acute in the Phillips neighborhood because that community has a large American Indian population - an overall population of 17,272, nearly 34 percent of which are American Indians. In a 1989 survey by the Amberst H. Wilder Foundation only 87 American Indians were identified as homeless in Minneapolis. According to Thayer, there are approximately 1,200 homeless American Indians in the city, including those who live with their extended family's. "All you have to do is walk down Franklin or Cedar Avenues and you'll see the problem is much bigger than that," he said. Thayer is chairman of the American Indian Task Force on Housing and Homeless (AITFHH), an organization that formed in July 1991 to deal with the growing problems of homeless American Indians in Minnesota. "The task force presented a proposal on behalf of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe for funds available under the Stewart B. McKinney fund, created to help this country's homeless." Thayer said. The condition that feeds the homeless problem among American Indians was painfully spelled out in the proposal: 'homelessness, unemployment, and chemical dependency are frequendy entwined. In the Phillips neighborhood, where Minnesota's largest concentration of American Indians live, these problems are most acute.' AITFHH proposal was a warmed-over version of the successful City of St. Paul Project Self-Suficiency. It emphasizes vocational training, centered around sobriety, and continues with "the downward spiral." Minnesota has wasted millions of dollars by not examining the entire path to sobriety and self-sufficiency. Once an American Indian has entered a treatment program, promises are often made that a sober life will be a better and more successful life. In reality, after twenty-one days in treatment, clients are discharged from "a vacation in OZ" (as described by a client) to the stark reality of homelessness, joblessness, and no access to resources to maintain sobriety. The client returns with the expectation that he or she is incapable of achieving a better life, which tends to be true.

Winnifred Jourdain added to the project's narrative, "Our people seem very discouraged. They've been denied so mch for so long, pushed aside and not listened to, all their lives. Everybody always did our thinking for us." "The proposal was not funded, even after the Tribe appealed the Labor Department's decision," Thayer reported. Thayer who was recntly in Washington, D.C, was told that the chances for an American Indian Housing Authority for Minneapolis are very slim because, "If we do it for one, we'll have to do it for all." AITFHH got few letters of support, and Katie Fournier, from the Minneapolis Mayor's office, said, "there's so many factions in the Indian community it's hard to do anything," thus explaining why even the city of Minneapolis did not submit a letter supporting the proposal. Thayer explained that Minneapolis doesn't even have an American Indian on their own homeless task force.

Mr. Jackson, 78, Cohasset, spent five decades in service to Indian people throughout the United States and Canada. He was "probably the best known Ojibwe in this century," said a Ojibwe spiritual leader who preferred to remain unnamed. "We're really going to miss him," said Roger Jourdain, former chairman of the Red Lake Reservation and a longtime friend. "There weren't many like him. I'm feeling lonely now." "I don't know of any other man in Indian Country as loved and respected as Jim Jackson," said Larry Aitken of Cass Lake, a friend and student of Mr. Jackson. He was bom in Sawyer and raised on the Fond du Lac and White Earth reservations. He attended a federal boarding school in Wahpeton, N.D., where he was ridiculed and punished, and ran away at age 9. When a school representative came to bring him back, Mr. Jackson's grandfather chased the official off with a shotgun, said Aitken, who is working on Mr. Jackson's biography. The boy never returned to the school. Because Mr. Jackson was educated by his grandfather and other elders, he was uniquely able to follow his calling as medicine man, Aitken said. "He was one of the only unbroken Indians," Aitken said. "He was natural, he was free and he was unbroken." As a young man, Mr. Jackson worker as a logger. But when he and his wife, Ida, were raising their large family, he began his life's work: bringing health to Indian people using traditional medicines and prayer, psychology, love and humor. He spoke at colleges and schools, ministered to prison inmates and worked to prevent alcohol and drug abuse. Mr. Jackson also served on the Minnesota Educational Task Force. Indian inmates in the state prison at Stillwater, Minn., looked forward to his visits, said George Cardinal of L'Anse, Mich., a former Stillwater inmate. "These young guys - you know, they're a tough lot. But they really liked him. He didn't condemn them, and he didn't preach down to them. He would use lessons from his life to show them the error of their ways. A lot of them weren't that traditional, but he spoke to them in a traditional way they could understand." As his fame spread, people came from all over the country to be treated for physical maladies, emotional distress and other problems. On weekends, his homes in Brookston and, later, in Cohasset would be filled with visitors. He never charged for his services and people left him gifts, tobacco and money as they saw fit. He sometimes joked that being a medicine man kept him poor, except in tobacco and telephone bills. Mr. Jackson died of liver cancer at Itasca Medical Center in Grand Rapids on April 19th.

Surviving are his wife, Ida; four daughters, Doris Belgarde and Wanda Jackson, both of Deer River, and Eloise Bobrowski and Betty Bobrowski, both of Grand Rapids; four sons, James Jr., Dale, LaVern and DeVern, all of Cohasset; three adopted daughters, Marcella Howard of Minneapolis, Linda Reese of Cass Lake, and Dolly Jackson of Cloquet; an adopted son, Ray Slick of Shawnee, Okla.; 24 grand children; six great-grand-children; and six great-great-grandchildren. Services were held last Wednesday with burial in the Inger Cemetery.

The complainants who called the police back her allegation. Valerie Shingobe, a Mille Lacs Chippewa, was treated for a broken nose and lacerations at Cloquet Community Memorial Hospital, hospital records show. "This wouldn't have happened if it had been some cute white girl in the back seat," she said from the Carlton County Jail. "He (Officer Mark Laine) just literally grabbed me by the front of my jacket, pulled me out of the police car, threw me face down on the pavement, put his knee in my back, grabbed me by the back of the hair and rammed my face in the pavement." Laine's initial report says he and three other officers, in two squad cars, responded to a call that Shingobe was threatening two residents of the Fond du Lac Reservation housing compound in Cloquet. He said the complainants claimed she had a gun and was trying to back her car into them. Reports of fights and drinking aren't uncommon there, and there was at least one serious shooting in recent years. Laine wrote that Shingobe appeared intoxicated. He said he searched her for a gun, found none and arrested her. He made no mention of injuries. No gun was found in her car, which was impounded and searched. Public Safety Director Ben Roginski said. Geraldine DeFoe and Sheryl Hague, the two compound residents who called the police, said Shingobe had no facial injuries before her arrest. They said after she was put in the squad car, they saw it pull away, then stop suddenly; then the officers were outside and Shingobe was on the ground, they said. "I said, 'Look, they're manhandling her,'" DeFoe said. She and Hague said Monday they're considering withdrawing their complaint. Roginski said late Monday that the officers' lengthier taped account hadn't yet been transcribed, so he didn't know details of their report. Shingobe said that after the officers put her in the back seat of the car, the loosely-fastened handcuffs came off, so she handed them to an officer in the front seat - a move that seemed to anger him, she said.That's when he pulled her from the car and pushed her face into the pavement twice, she said. The older police officer told the younger man to stop, Shingobe said. She was handcuffed again and taken to jail, although she asked the police to take her to the hospital. Carlton County deputies took her to the hospital about 16 hours later, records show. Laine's older partner that night was Floyd "Buck" Fulton, observers said. Shingobee, a UMD student, said she wasn't drunk and the officers didn't read her her rights or ask her to take a breath test. According to hospital records, Shingobe told the emergency room physician that a police officer had beaten her. Besides the broken nose, she had black-and-blue eyes, scalp and facial lacerations, a bruise on her neck, and neck and back pain. The doctor prescribed pain medication and suggested she get a CAT scan and eye exam in 10 days. Shingobe's 7-year-old-son, left in the care of a baby sitter, was taken to a children's shelter, Shingobe said. She made a formal complaint to a Carlton County deputy. Roginski said he'll have his staff look into her complaint and will decide whether discipline of an officer is in order. He said such complaints are unusual, and except for "an extraordinary case" two years ago - when a veteran Cloguet police officer was suspended and later sentenced for assault - he receives only about three non-serious complaints per year. It would be wonderful never to have a complaint," he said. "But I don't think that's possible. You can't work with people 24 hours a day without rubbing somebody's fur wrong." Roginski said that after he sees the longer incident report, he'll turn it over to the Carlton County Attorney, who will decide whether to charge Shingobe. No charges were filed against her by noon Tuesday, so state law required that she be released. [Reprinted with permission from the Duluth News Tribune, April 28, 1992.J Bremer Internships awarded to organizations The Bremer Non-profit Internship Program awarded summer internships to four organizations serving Native Americans. The Plains Art Museum of Fargo/Moorhead and the Ojibwe Art Expo Committee of Bemidji, Minnesota; The Anishinabe Council of Job Developers, Inc., the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council, Inc., Lac Du Flambeau, Wise, and the Leech Lake Twin Cities Office, Mpls., Minnesota. Each organization will receive a paid college intern for 10 weeks this summer. The internship program has two primary objectives: to provide valuable job experience for students and develop their interest in the nonprofit sector; to benefit the recipient organizations (and by extension the community) from the work performed by the students. The Internship program is sponsored by the Otto Bremer Foundation and is administered by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits. The Plains Art Museum is a repository for art collections which form an artistic legacy of the region. It provides facilities for exhibitions, educational activities in the arts, organizes special exhibitions and programs, family workshops, classes and other services and events. The Ojibwe Art Expo Committee organizes the Ojibwe Art Expo, an annual juried exhibition which promotes and presents American Indian artists, contemporary or traditional, of the upper midwest. The Museum and Ojibwe Art Expo Committee are working together on a special 20th Commemorative Invitational Exhibition. The Bremer intern will create a complete written documentation of this history of this important exhibition, including artist's resumes, selected artists interviews, slides, photographs and other appropriate materials. The exhibit is scheduled to open this fall/winter of 1992-93 at the museum and tour regionally, then nationally for two years. The Anishinabe Council of Job Developer's plan a project to research and develop a plan for a temporary job placement service focused on the American Indian population. The intern for the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council will help to plan, develop, and implement a women's encampment as a forum/opportunity for women of all ages to share both contemporary and traditional health information in formal and informal ways. An elder's project of the Leech Lake Twin Cities Office will utilize elders in the teaching of youth about the Ojiway language, oral history, culture and customs throught the arts and media. A total of 30 internships were awarded for 1992 in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota. The sponsoring organizations represent the diversity of the nonprofit sector. The project demonstrates that nonprofit leaders continue to develop innovative solutions or creative ways to address community needs.

SARATOGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition against the New York State SAFE Act. The petition was started by State Senator Kathy Marchione.
Marchione, who won election in November, was one of 18 Republicans to vote against the bill. Because it was signed without any public input, Marchione says the petition is a way for people to voice their dissent.
Marchione wants to repeal certain parts of measure, including the redefinition of assault weapons and the reduction of the number of rounds allowed in a magazine. She says even for gun owners, the new law if difficult to understand.
"I think that it's very important that we have some additional information. Is my gun banned or is it not?" Marchione said.
Marchione says the petition has more than 60,000 signatures. She hopes it will help sway other lawmakers to rethink the law.

Her name is Thea. And it is going to take someone very special to give her a forever home. Thea needs a soft but firm touch and someone with the patience to allow her to blossom and feel safe on her timetable.
Thea is a purebred border collie that was rescued from a border collie Puppy Mill in September 2009 where she was kept in deplorable conditions. After a round-about trip to Florida she had her first bath in probably years. Her fur was so matted that she had to have her bum and tail shaved. She landed on our doorstep in October.
When Thea first arrived she would hide in her crate, coming out only when coaxed with food or being physically pulled out. She was scared of everything: people, dogs, doorways, furniture, hard flooring and especially loud sounds and sudden movements. She would not walk on tile or wood floors, only carpet and grass. The leash was her enemy and she would bite it and lie down when a leash was clipped on to her.
With 6 foster siblings Thea quickly came out of her shell. She loves to run with the "pack" and will need room to run, perhaps a canine sibling or two. She doesn't quite understand toys but she loves chew bones. She has learned to walk through doorways, walk on solid flooring and has even conquered the doggie door. She has trouble with steps, finding it easier to go up and difficult to come down. She's also learned to walk on a leash. She will not be happy in a home with any cats, she is obsessed with them. Thea likes clicker training and has learned to sit on command. She is very food motivated and can be coaxed in uncomfortable situations with treats.
Thea likes routine. She has learned what it means when we say, "time to go outside" and "in your crate". She will be happiest in a home where there is a definite routine. She likes women more than men but has bonded with her foster dad. She'll just take some time and patience.
Thea is about 4-5 years old. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and heartworm preventative, and is microchipped. If you are interested in adopting Thea, please visit our website and fill out an application from our Adoption Process page. There will be an adoption donation and you will be required to sign an adoption contract. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us.
Thea is being fostered in Palm Bay, Florida.
We do not adopt out of state. You must submit an application as the first step in the process. You cannot visit a dog until we've received and reviewed your application and contacted you about scheduling a visit. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.

Much has been made this week about the Yahoo CEO's decision to ban telecommuting. (As though reporting to the office were such an outrageous demand.) Part of the memo from HR read:
To become the absolute best place to work, communication and collaboration will be important, so we need to be working side-by-side. That is why it is critical that we are all present in our offices. Some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and cafeteria discussions, meeting new people, and impromptu team meetings. Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home. We need to be one Yahoo!, and that starts with physically being together.
Personally, I've always believed in a "united we stand, divided we fall" mentality. Whether working side by side is the answer to fostering unity is up for debate. Still, if I were an employee at Yahoo, I'd probably be grateful to a CEO who was trying to reinvigorate a company by encouraging her employees to be part of the innovation process.
Opponents have criticized Mayer, calling her decision regressive, anti-family and a punishment to working moms. Critics have explained the benefits of telecommuting, mocking the tech company for taking a giant step backward. And opinionators have complained that not all working moms have the luxury of building a nursery next to their office so that they can be close to their children.
You'd think Mayer had mandated that employees start living at Yahoo and sleeping under their desks.
Never mind that the Atlantic's Rebecca Greenfield tried to calm down the masses with this post: "Chill Out, Marissa Mayer Work-at-Home Memo's Not About You." People haven't been able to stop debating the many issues that Mayer's edict sparked.
The New York Times' Maureen Dowd writes that Mayer should show some sensitivity:
The dictatorial decree to work "side by side" had some dubbing Mayer not "the Steinem of Silicon Valley" but "the Stalin of Silicon Valley." […]
She seems to believe that enough employees are goofing off at home that she should bring them off the cloud and into the cubicle. But she should also be sympathetic to the very different situation of women -- and men -- struggling without luxurious layers of help.
Mayer has a nursery next to the executive suite. But not everyone has it so sweet.
Writing about both Mayer and Facebook CEO Sheryl Sandberg's impact on working moms, Joanne Bamberger laments:
Both Mayer and Sandberg are overlooking the forest for the trees. The amount of household help they can afford to manage their family lives isn't a reality for the vast majority of women and never will be. […]
With the launch of Sandberg's "Lean In" effort and Mayer's office-work only proclamation, two things are apparent: Both have forgotten about the women who came before, enabling them to land in their lofty positions in the first place.
And the duo don't want to extend the same hand to anyone else. Instead, they've launched the latest salvo in the war on moms.
The Washington Post's Ruth Marcus criticizes Mayer going retro in two ways:
How ironic that a technology company, dedicated to enabling connectivity, would enforce such a retrograde, back-to-the-assembly-line edict. It reflect a bricks-and-mortar mindset in an increasingly cyber world. How depressing that this edict comes from a female CEO, albeit a seemingly bionic one. You have to wonder whether this is Mayer demonstrating that she is as tough -- or as boneheaded -- as any guy.
Telecommuting was not the problem. Management was, argues Max Nisen in Business Insider:
What's pretty clear from details that have emerged is that Yahoo did an exceptionally bad job at managing its remote workers. People who worked from home were apparently unproductive and so disconnected from the company that people forgot that they worked at Yahoo at all.
Successfully running a remote team requires extra communication and engagement from managers, not less. Occasional emails just don't cut it; leaders have to genuinely know their remote employees and how to communicate with them to get great work from them. If remote workers were unproductive and disengaged, then it's at least partially because the company and its leaders let them get that way.

The contest is open to single family homeowners who reside in the counties of Henrico, Hanover, Chesterfield, Goochland, Powhatan, New Kent and Charles City, the City of Richmond and the Town of Ashland To enter, visit http://www.rrea-va.org/contest . Contest entry involves completion of a five-minute form that will create a personalized home energy report that identifies what your energy bills are paying for and outlines simple ways you can cut those costs. The Richmond Region Energy Alliance is a community-based nonprofit that provides tips for homeowners to solve their high home energy bills and comfort issues through home energy improvements. The contest is sponsored by Carrier Corp and EarthCraft Virginia. Home energy improvements for the grand prize winner will range from small to large solutions and often include air and duct sealing, HVAC upgrades, insulation, sealing and/or replacing windows and doors, lighting and appliance upgrades. The winner will be selected at the end of September, and the improvement work will be scheduled in October in coordination with the homeowner. |

Ok, I can't get through this so I humbly ask for your help.
I deployed rabbitmq on a machine
rabbitmq is working because I can use rabbitmqctl and I have access through the web management plugin ... so that is OK
Oh I'm using Linux systems by the way.
So I have tried to configure Spring to make a basic test ... I mean real basic.
Let me show you
==== Spring ====
<bean id="connectionFactory"
class="org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.connection. CachingConnectionFactory">
<constructor-arg value="data-desktop"/>
<property name="username" value="user"/>
<property name="password" value="passwd"/>
<property name="virtualHost" value="vhost"/>
==== Groovy File ====
import com.rabbitmq.client.Channel
import com.rabbitmq.client.AMQP
import com.rabbitmq.client.AMQP.BasicProperties
import org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.connection.Connect ion
import org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.connection.Connect ionFactory
import org.springframework.amqp.core.ExchangeTypes
log.info "Connection test logging message"
ConnectionFactory connf = ctx.getBean("connectionFactory")
Connection conn = connf.createConnection()
Channel chan = conn.createChannel(true)
String message = "Yet another message!"
chan.queueDeclare("rqqueue", true, false, false, null)
chan.exchangeDeclare("rqexchange", ExchangeTypes.DIRECT, true)
chan.queueBind ("rqqueue","rqexchange","rqbind_rkey")
new AMQP.BasicProperties.Builder()
log.debug(" [x] Sent {}",message)
As you see I am not using spring objects everywhere but I don't think that's my problem.
The problem is that I don't see anything comming in the "rqqueue" in my rabbitmq system;
When I create messages from the Web interface it works
I see my app connecting in rabbitmq logs (though they do not report any message creation)
I see the end of the connection
Then ... zip ... nada ... nothing.
And no exception reports.
I don't even get an exception on the basicPublish, which would be kind of nice ... if I saw my message at the other end
So ... well I'm not sure what is happenning but I was sort of expecting that the presence of messages would be visible in the queue.
Any leads are welcome.

Military Night
What: Ceremony of recognition for University of Redlands students serving or who have served in the military.
When: Sunday, 3 p.m.
Where: Citizen's Bank Arena during intermission of the Reign vs. Condors hockey game.
Who: The university group includes (active duty servicemen) U.S Navy Chief Petty Officer Peter Cortez of Hemet and U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Michael Howen of Perris; and (veterans) U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sgt. Gilbert Nortz of Carlsbad, U.S. Navy Chief Distribution Clerk Sheryl Mathews of Murrieta, U.S. Marines Chief Warrant Officer 3 Doug Arent of Hemet, U.S. Marines Sgt. Toussaint Wade of Menifee, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Rhiannon Brown of Montclair, and Marines Scott Alnutt of Murrieta and Alberto Villasana of Alta Loma.
Roberts, an associate dean at the University of Redlands School of Business, served 22 years in the Air Force before retiring as a lieutenant colonel.
Roberts is scheduled to introduce a group of University of Redlands students who have served or are serving in the military as part of the Reign's Military Night.
"We are reaching out and serving those who have served their country, it's as simple as that," Roberts said. "I am very honored to recognize them and their families, who have given so much to serve the country."
Roberts added, "I see it as a privilege for us to give back to them."
The ceremony also will feature a swearing in ceremony of new U.S. Army recruits.
Nine University of Redlands School of Business students - two are on active duty, the remainder are veterans - will be introduced to the Reign crowd and awarded with certificates of appreciation.
It will be the first such event for the university.
"This will be a terrific honor," Roberts said. "For me it's a true privilege to be able to recognize these military personnel."
It's the latest effort to reach out to active duty servicemen and to veterans by the university.
"The most important thing we try to do is approach recruits
The university's recruiting efforts date back to World War I.
The University of Redlands was just named as a 2013 Military Friendly School by GI Jobs.
"Certainly one of the things we offer to our active duty personnel is discounted tuition," Sanderson said. "We try to make it so that there are no out-of-pocket expenses."
The game will pit the Reign against the Bakersfield Condors.

McCaskill, Akin Debate Is the Talk of Twitter
The final debate in Clayton between Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill and Republican Rep. Todd Akin drew heavy conversation on Twitter Thursday night.
11:31 pm on Thursday, October 18, 2012
Akin is a conservative who is dedicated to uphold the Constitution. He has a better understanding of the problems we as a nation face. I trust him to do all he says that he will do as senator He is not beholding to Obama as Senator McCaskill obviously is. Our country cannot stand another 4 years of destructive Socialism, which Obama and McCaskill are pursuing. We must vote to oust both of them.
The Missourian
10:29 am on Friday, October 19, 2012
If you're into all that states' rights, erosion of the social contract, backward looking southern hillbilly nonsense, then Todd Akin's your man. A vote for McCaskill is at the very least a vote affirming that you live in the 21st century.
Gregg Palermo
12:03 am on Friday, October 19, 2012
Storify is a tool many news organizations and good old regular folks use to aggregate commentary online about current events, so to answer your question--Yes!
9:47 am on Friday, October 19, 2012
Thanks Gregg. I have heard of Storify. Use as a " Tool" should be the operative. It's still not news in an of itself. An aggregate of online commentary can be manipulated, giving far more weight to "people" that conduct a personna online. (well, maybe I do so myself - but I don't seek a following.)
Political groups have paid hacks that troll the online commentary in support of a political agenda. Former staffers of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker have plead guilty for using government time and resources for online polticial soliciting. Needless to say, in this era of partisan hysteria, there are plenty of willing volunteers spreading their opinions far and wide on the web.
Storify gives us an aggregate of the Dana Loesch's of the nation. If one wants to gratify themselves by following the comments of people like that, they are fully capable of doing so on their own.
Scott Simon
12:29 am on Friday, October 19, 2012
Dana Loesch tweeting makes me LMAO. She's to Republicans what Obama is to McCaskill. Translated, "Please, don't be our chef, You'll just screw up a good thing."
Earl Higgins
8:57 am on Friday, October 19, 2012
if you to try and design and build a generic, lifeless "Right-wing Robot", it would speak and behave exactly like Todd Akin did last night. He did a great job of repeating all the talking points, with nothing new or interesting to bring to the table.
I may not agree with McCaskill on everything, but at least she's giving the issues thoughtful, nuanced consideration before speaking and before voting, not just following whatever orders her ideology-driven puppetmasters give.
11:17 am on Friday, October 19, 2012
My bookie says Akin will ride in on the tails of Romneys landslide.
Devon Seddon
11:22 am on Friday, October 19, 2012
Claire votes how she's told 98% of the time. Like some of you.
This is a woman who claims to be tough on China, yet votes to borrow more than a trillion dollars per year from them. When have you ever seen the borrower "be tough on" the loan shark? It doesn't happen.
She hasn't given "thoughtful nuanced consideration" to a budget in 4 years (crime).
She claims to be tough on those countries that launch terrorist attacks against US embassies, yet votes to give billions of that borrowed money to those countries.
You are right in one area though, she did give "thoughtful, nuanced consideration" when she voted for herself to recieve millions of dollars in bailout money (should be a crime).
Does the economy get better when the PEOPLE have money to spend, or when the government continues to spend our children into generations of debt; turning them into impoverished dependents of the state.
Is it better for companies to hire people or keep being taxed & regulated to support those who they used to be able to hire.
Are you more concerned about YOUR money, or are you for an overgrown goverment getting more from you so they can keep spending without the accountability of a budget?
Do you believe in giving another 20% to that same unaccountable, irresponsible government, or do you believe that if you had 20% more of your money you wouldn't need so much "government assistance"?
Don't let them distract you with their name-calling, they don't know any better.
The Missourian
12:31 pm on Friday, October 19, 2012
Devon - didn't I tell you to learn something about economics before continuing to post on the subject?

Risk assessment
Economy benefitting from opening up to private initiative and the strength of tourism
Activity is expected to accelerate slightly again in 2013. Consumption and investment will benefit from the development of the private sector and from reconstruction in the south-east affected by hurricane Sandy. Public investment in transport, telecommunications and water delivery is expected to pick up again after many fallow years. Tourism (a quarter of goods and services exports) will benefit from the increased number of visitors from Russia, China and neighbouring countries which will make up for the decline in European visitors. The slower rise in revenues is likely to be offset by bigger knock-on effects on the economy, as it is a sector favoured by the new private entrepreneurs.
Public and external accounts constrained by the impossibility of adding to the debt
Despite the opening of the economy to the private sector, the public sector remains large: public spending represents 60% of GDP. Public sector workers are still numerous despite the beginning of a reduction. However, unless the nickel price falls, the public deficit is expected to remain moderate enough to ensure stabilisation of the public debt. In 2009 the fall in the nickel price forced the authorities to reduce imports and postpone debt repayment.
There is still a large trading deficit (11% of GDP). Exports of nickel, medicines and sugar are greatly exceeded by imports of food (in particular wheat), capital goods and oil. The latter is, however, obtained on favourable terms from Venezuela under the Petrocaribe scheme. It is paid for by the provision of skilled workers (chiefly medical staff, teachers). Apart from by sending foreign personnel abroad, the trade deficit is funded by tourism revenues and transfers by the Cuban diaspora in the United States. Finally, the current account deficit represents only 0.3% of GDP. It is line with the weakness of foreign investments and the very limited access to international finance. Despite recent opening up, foreign investment remains limited to certain sectors and can only be made in partnership with a local public body. Moreover, would-be investors are put off by possible reprisals under the American embargo. Moreover, in view of a medium term debt (public in total) unpaid for decades and estimated at 22.5 billion dollars, or 33% of GDP (double with the sums owed to countries that were formerly part of the USSR), Cuba can benefit only from short-term lines of credit from its trading partners.
Still many obstacles to private initiative
The authorities, identical with the Communist party, want to boost the economy while retaining control by fighting corruption, limiting the widening of inequalities and maintaining equal access to good education and health systems. Opening to the private sector, begun in 2010 under the aegis of Raul Castro (81), concerns 181 business areas but concentrates mainly on agriculture, the hotel trade, the restaurant business, all kinds of repair work and retail. 200,000 micro-businesses have been created, sometimes with employees. The sale of second hand vehicles is authorised, as is that of housing, even though, in practice, exchanges with under the table payments are still favoured. Cooperatives, until now limited to agriculture, have moved into 222 sectors, to the discontent of the private sector. However, there are many restrictions and the population has found it difficult to adjust to the new freedoms after living for over 50 years in a state-controlled framework. In the absence of wholesale markets, companies find it difficult to obtain supplies. Imports remain a monopoly of the state, state-owned enterprises and state/private joint ventures. Import authorisation and the availability of foreign exchange depend on the sector concerned, the importer's status and its relations with the authorities. Some try to get round this obstacle by using airline passengers' baggage but the authorities have blocked this channel by heavily taxing any baggage weighing more than 30 kg. Credit to businesses is practically non-existent as state banks limit their lending to construction and renovation. There are still two pesos, one convertible, reserved for tourism and trade, the other for domestic activities. Beside the official rate of 1 to the dollar, there is a managed, and therefore legal, rate of 24 to 1 for personal transactions. The gap between conversion rates and reality maintains the dualism of the economy, the black market and the informal economy. The price formation mechanism is moreover disconnected from real costs with subsidies constituting a quarter of public spending.

any help with my daughter who is a great single parent.
My daughter is a single parent who always thinks of others before herself. She gets limited public assistance but is barely making ends meat. Like so many other people in the U.S. she can't find a job that pays enough for her and her child's basic needs (rent, utilities, diapers, household items, etc.) Social service agencies have limited funding and long waiting lists so this is a restricted option. I'm on a limited income myself and have often neglected my own financial obligations to get the baby food and diapers. They can't stay with me because my living arrangements are shaky and unreliable. This money I'm asking for would pay for a month of diapers for my grand baby. For them I am asking for a hand up not a hand out. We both maintain a positive attitude and we know God will answer prayers |
Just a little help please
I am looking for just a little help right now. We are going through very hard times. We are having a hard time paying bills and with an 8 year old daughter, well...it's hard. We would accept any type of gift cards or cash, any amount. We aren't asking for a whole lot, just enough to get us back on our feet while we search for jobs. Please help, Thank you. :) |

Do NOT take the C clip out yet!
How to remove the core without having a major accident:
Open the lock and turn the plug one quarter.
Make a copy of the original key, then cut the bottom of your duplicate so that the hair clip tool can enter the bottom of the keyway.
Hair clip: You need to make a tool out of a hair clip.
When you make the hair clip tool, make sure that it is long enough to cover all the holes, by measuring on the outside.
Hair clip tool: Sizes may be different on each lock.
Insert the hair clip tool that you have made.
Now, with a little help from the wrench, turn the hair clip tool in place upon the lock.
Take the wrench out.
Good advice: Use something such as a rubber band or tape (in this case) before you remove the C clip (if you use the key, put tape anyway).
You can now remove the C clip!
Remove the tape gently, and pull out the core, but be careful, see that the pins do not fall out, by making sure that the keyway is in an upright position.
The core with the bottom pins.
The top pins and the springs are now secured by the hair clip tool!
When you have finished playing around with the bottom pins, put the core back in, the same way it came out, twist the hair clip tool back on the side, with help from the wrench, and turn the core to a full upright position.
Now, and only now, you put the C clip back on, and your done.
{editing and clean-up done by Varjeal-good work and excellent idea OP}

MASSACHUSETTS -- A new law in Massachusetts is giving expelled and suspended students more educational options. Under the new law, school districts will now be required to provide educational programs for those students.
The law also slashes the maximum number of days a student can be excluded from a classroom from 180 days to 90.
Schools will now be required to consider alternative disciplinary actions and give the state more accurately report discipline data.

East Greenbush aims to foil invasive milfoil
EAST GREENBUSH — A group of divers has come to the rescue of Hampton Manor Lake, thanks to a decision by the Town of East Greenbush.
The town board voted in September to hire Aquatic Invasive Management, which has worked to save other bodies of water, including Lake George, Schroon Lake and Lake Placid. As noted in Supervisor Keith Langley's posting on the town website, the company will "hand-harvest the milfoil that has invaded the lake. This will be an initial milfoil removal which will then become an annual maintenance program in order to keep the lake clean and useable for residents."
In bygone days, the artificial lake in the Hampton Manor section of town was used for many purposes other than fishing and boating. In 1930s, for example, the lake was the scene of the first national championship regatta of model yacht-builders. People came from all over the east to compete.
On Oct. 1, several members of AIM, which is based in Au Sable Forks, waded into the lake and began the process of removing invasive growth from Hampton Manor. Co-owner Andrew Lewis said that the job is extremely labor-intensive. Just as homeowners are going outside to rake leaves, he and his crew began using pitchforks and their hands to yank tons of milfoil and other invaders from the body of water.
"We'll work for four weeks now," he explained. "Then we'll return next spring and next fall. Maintenance is important to keep the milfoil from returning. The more you let it persist, the less clarity and quality you'll have in the water."
In addition, he said, the impact of the invaders also lowers the oxygen level of the water. "That leads to no fish," he noted.
The AIM crew sometimes bags what they remove from bodies of water. In this case, they will haul it away in truckloads to the town dump.
That process will save time and speed the cleanup.
Lewis estimated that his crew normally harvests about 760 bags a day, "but we'll do more than that since we won't have to place everything in a bag." As a result, AIM's four weeks of effort could result in the removal of as much as 200 tons of milfoil.
As the AIM divers began combing through the lake, they found more than weeds. Continued...
Into a pile of odds and ends, they tossed a street sign, highway cones, broken bottles and 12 broken bicycles. On other jobs, Lewis said, they have found everything from antique barges to ice-fishing shacks that fell into lakes when they weren't removed before a thaw arrived.
