There are no 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee reviews. However, the following might be helpful:
User Reviews
The community thinks...
Smooth Operator by Mr. Right on 07/28/2010. Trim: 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4X4, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: This is my 3rd Grand Cherokee. I traded in a 2007 Limited for the 2010 with the x package. It has a quiet and smooth ride, comfortable seats and a smooth shifting 6cyl engine are all vast improvement with this year. Overall I am pretty happy. I was very surprised at the power of the V-6 engine. It is a joy to drive.
Cons: I have had to return to the service department on several occasions. First I had a rumbling sound in the rear wihich turned out to be a loose exhaust system. Second, I had a fuel injector that need to be replaced in less than 3,000 mile of service. Finally, I had a computer go that had to be replaced because the connecting wire was too close to the engine and shorted out causing the engine to malfunction. I have owed six jeeps but this by far has been my worst experience with mechanical problems considering I have less than 6,000 miles on the vehicle.
Overall review: Overall, I really like my new 2010 Jeep. I'm just a little leary about the mechanical problems that I have encountered so early on after the purchase. It will be interesting to see if the problems I've had end up on a recall notice.

Research and Design for the UX Team of One
Monday, August 12 90 minutes
1:30pm ET / 12:30pm CT / 11:30am MT / 10:30am PT
- Lead discovery and planning
- Conduct fast UX research
- Use a transparent design process
- Test designs internally before they're "complete"
If you're the only user-experience voice on your team, you're constantly balancing your time between selling its value to your organization and improving your own design skills. Fortunately, you'll be on your way to achieving both outcomes quicker if your process is inclusive and cross-functional.
Leah Buley knows how to get you there.
In this Next Step seminar, created in cooperation with Rosenfeld Media, Leah captures strategies to help small teams structure realistic processes that integrate with their existing workflows. In this seminar, she will walk us through a repeatable process for any team to follow, whether in-house or remote. You'll get practical discovery and planning techniques, plus some tips for collaborating with colleagues on UX research, design, and testing.
Lead discovery and planning
- Involve cross-functional team members early with a UX questionnaire
- Collaboratively determine what needs to be done for the state of the product
Conduct fast UX research
- Plan realistic studies that effectively and objectively assess customer needs
- Audit competitors' websites and applications to find delightful interactions
Use a transparent design process
- Create design deliverables in a low-fidelity, iterative way
- Capture ideas from strategy-focused workshops in sketches or prototypes
Test designs internally before they're "complete"
- Solicit actionable feedback from your team as you're designing
- Get your organization thinking about UX more often
Even if you're on a teeny design team—or the solo voice at your org—you can make great UX designs.
Watch the preview
Leah explains what you'll learn in this 90‑second preview…
Why Leah?
While we'd heard of Leah's work, first at Barclay's and then at Adaptive Path, we really weren't aware of her talents until we saw her present at the IA Summit a few years back. We'd walked into her session—the largest room at the conference venue—to discover the only place to sit was on the floor, right up near the front. It was that full.
Within moments, we knew why. Her delightful presentation style, along with her in-depth expertise, made for an intoxicating session. We just couldn't get enough.
At the same time, we'd been hearing great things about the approach Adaptive Path was using for their design workshops. Teams everywhere were telling us how it was pushing the envelope on their design capabilities, delivering better results than ever before.
In 2009 and 2010, Leah's full day workshop, and her featured talk: How to be a User Experience Team of One, were among the highest-rated both years. We knew having her talk more about the Team of One concept—a challenge many of you face— would make for a great virtual seminar.

About Vienna
Other Information
International Safeguards Project Office
The International Safeguards Project Office (ISPO) is responsible for the day-to-day technical and administrative management of the U.S. Support Program to IAEA Safeguards (USSP). ISPO performs this service at the behest of the Subgroup on Safeguards Technical Support (SSTS).
IAEA Department of Safeguards:
ISPO is based at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, New York, and maintains a liaison office in Vienna, Austria, in the IAEA section of the U.S. Mission to International Organizations in Vienna (UNVIE). The technical management role performed by ISPO involves evaluating the technical feasibility of proposed tasks, offering sound recommendations for an inter-agency review process, and ensuring that products meet the IAEA's stated needs. The administrative management of the program entails tracking schedules and budgets for active tasks, preparing status reports, obtaining proposals from prospective contractors, recruiting for regular staff and cost-free expert positions, and identifying candidates for participation in IAEA Department of Safeguards technical meetings.
The ISPO Brookhaven Office reports to the SSTS and is the primary point of contact for U.S. national laboratories, and contractors. The office is staffed with engineering, scientific, financial and administrative professionals. The office processes requests for work from the IAEA Department of Safeguards which involves obtaining proposals, recruitment of professionals, and making recommendations to the SSTS.
The ISPO Liaison Office provides a mechanism for communication with the IAEA on USSP matters. The office is staffed by one professional, and one subcontractor. The Liaison Officer interacts with IAEA task officers to ensure that they are receiving sufficient information regarding the status of tasks from the U.S. contractors. The Liaison Officer transmits information regarding the status of USSP tasks on a regular basis to the ISPO office at BNL and to the SSTS. The Liaison Officer also discusses preliminary ideas and formal requests for new tasks with IAEA staff.
Nuclear Stability or Instability in the 21st Century: Will U.S.-Soviet Cold War History Repeat for China, India and Pakistan?
In the 484th Brookhaven Lecture, Thomas Graham explains the events that led to policy decisions on nuclear weapons in the mid-20th century. He also discusses how forces that drove the U.S. and former Soviet Union to stockpile large numbers of nuclear warheads are applicable in today's decisions on the size and types of nuclear weapons in arsenals among China, India and Pakistan.

What is electricity? This course will aim to shed light on the elusive, invisible force that has become an integral part of our lives. Through hands-on experimentation in a small classroom environment, participants will learn to detect, quantify, and manipulate electricity in the tradition of the great pioneers of this science such as Michael Faraday and Nikola Tesla.
This two-session introductory course will start by outlining the basic laws and characteristics of electricity, and then go on to introduce and explain the components that come together to make amplifiers, musical synthesizers, clocks, and computers. We will learn to read schematic diagrams and will be guided through the construction of a few basic circuits and will then work our way up to building a simple music synthesizer . Participants will leave the course with electrical confidence and hunger for gadgetary exploration. $30 materials fee included in the price buys an extensive kit of materials for further experimentation.
159 Pioneer St
Brooklyn, NY
In this lesson, students will be introduced to the basic laws that govern electricity. Through demonstration and hands-on experimentation, this lesson will introduce the concepts and components that are involved in electric circuits. Students will see the effect of switches, LEDs, resistors, and capacitors on the flow of electricity and will build a few basic circuits using those components.
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDTAdd to Cal
The Intercourse
159 Pioneer St.
Brooklyn, NY
In this lesson, students will use the components from the previous lesson to build more complex circuits and will be introduced to the world of Integrated Circuits. We will experiment with sensors, speakers, and microphones as means of using physical mediums to interact with the flow of electricity. At the end of this lesson, students will have completed a small square-wave synthesizer to take home.
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDTAdd to Cal
David Sheinkopf has taught in the NY school system for 10 years and has spent the last 5 of those years developing a curriculum for teaching analog and digital electronics to high school students in order to prepare them for life in an increasingly-electrified world. Before teaching, Sheinkopf worked in a garage that specialized in vintage european sports cars making him as comfortable with a box wrench as he is with a soldering iron. His electronic work has been used by artists at MoMa, The Brooklyn Museum, the Red Hook Criterium, and in various gallery shows. His mechanical work can also be seen riding around New York on one of the many bikes he has serviced and sold at his underground bike shop in Red Hook, Brooklyn. He is currently the director of education at The Intercourse, an arts exhibition space and cultural center in Brooklyn.

Letters to the Editor
The Editor:
Such unprofessional journalism. You say, in regards to the recent suicides that the "two young adults... were discovered in a public place," and that this "takes the tragedy from the private to the public realm."
Are you really that sure of your facts? Are you honestly ignorant of the fact that the bodies were found on private property and that the sheriff had to request permission from the owner to search it? Or are you just lying in an attempt to save face? Either way, I am appalled and angered, as are many others. I hope and demand that you recognize that your publisher's note contains false information and realize that the matter is, or ought to have been, a private one.
The young man was one of my very best friends, and on behalf of all his friends and family, I am demanding that you print a formal apology to them and the community. You should see this not only as an opportunity to set the record straight, but to garner respect from the community, rather than the loss of your readership.
Paul Freeman
The Editor:
Thank you to The Northern Light for presenting the facts as they could discover them in the time available before their publishing deadline.
I feel profoundly sympathetic toward the families of the two young people we lost in the woods that day – however we lost them, and for whatever reason.
We live in a community. It is generally in the best interests of the community to bring forward crisis and near-crisis events that take place behind closed doors. Denying the community access to details about a tragedy robs the community of any ability to either help and support the families or prevent a duplicate tragedy later.
In my opinion, a healthy community works in the best interests of all its members. This means that we need facts about unfortunate events. Facts can trigger compassion, understanding, and comfort.
Ultimately, this means documenting events like this one, in print – in a newspaper, that serves the community. Learning a tragic story from 'the grapevine' or from 'word of mouth' is never healthy or in the best interests of anyone. Hiding tragic stories serves no one.
Nothing in a suicide event merits shame or secrecy. We owe it to each other, to neighbors and families, to talk about suicide. Every human must understand that s/he is not alone. Help is available. Finally, I encourage a follow-up story that includes resources.
Elle Tracy
The Editor:
Apparently Jerri Weaver and Laura English have no idea what the job of a newspaper really is. It is to inform their readership about what is going on in their community, county, state, nation and/or their world. In this context, two young people in the community being found dead of gunshot wounds is news the community needed to hear.
Even a suicide, since possibly this news might make other parents, teachers, neighbors and friends pay a little more attention, listen a little harder, try to understand a little better exactly what is really going on in the minds and lives of other young people and maybe prevent this sort of thing happening again. I said maybe because nothing is really fool-proof.
One other benefit of reporting the incident is it allowed strangers (myself included) to grieve for the tragic loss of these young people and pray for their families who would otherwise never have heard about it. This is not gossip. This is news. And this leads me to the criticism of the police report humor. I love it.
It turns what would be nothing more than a dreary recitation of people behaving badly into a column my husband and I look forward to reading to see what clever twist they have created.
I have never seen them write a malicious report and I hope they continue to exercise their gentle and witty senses of humor to the delight of this reader of The Northern Light.
Carole Peterson
(Publisher Note: We appreciate the letters from our readers on this matter, both in support and in opposition to our decision to print news of the tragic deaths of two young citizens. The suggestions offered were especially welcomed. Out of respect for the families, however, we will not accept new letters on the subject. Due to an error, an incorrect version of last week's Publisher Note was published. The intended version is as follows:
As a rule, The Northern Light does not cover deaths by suicide as we consider such to be private matters. The article Ms. English is referring to involved two young adults who were discovered in a public place, dead of shotgun wounds, in uncertain circumstances. Neither the sheriff's department nor the medical examiner had characterized the deaths as suicides at the time the story was published. Unfortunately, the deaths of two young adults take the tragedy from the private to the public realm and we believe it is the newspaper's duty to inform the general public. Regarding the police reports, they are printed as received by us from the police department, without any editing on our part.)
The Editor:
I am responding to the ad on Page 5 in the April 10-16 edition of The Northern Light announcing the Blaine Earth Day event to be held in the city council chambers at 344 H Street at 7 p.m. on April 22. This may be one of the most important Earth Days in the history of the event in Blaine.
I am going to join in the informal community discussion primarily because I have a deep concern about the earth environment our children and their children will inherit from us. I hope every family, business and institution in Blaine will be represented in the discussion.
Guy Hughes
The Editor:
Since its very beginning the Blaine senior activity and community center has been a source of inspiration for the people in the Blaine area.
There are some wonderful people on the staff and many volunteers at the center who maintain a fantastic blend of food, friends, and fellowship. Hot nutritious food is served there six days a week to many of our seniors and on a donation basis. The many activities for seniors cover a wide range from needlework, crafts, pool, card games, table games, Bible studies, a library, to a very well equipped strength training center. It has been a wonderful haven for many.
One of the many activities is the annual indoor garage sale, where many items are donated for the center's benefit. This is a very important event since a large portion of the center's funding comes from this sale. Good, clean items would be greatly appreciated, no electronics and large items, please.
JoAn Newby
The Editor:
I would like to share an article that I recently read in a Vancouver publication, Swedish Press. This publication has a circulation of 7,000. There are 6,000 U.S. subscribers.
The article, written by Kristian Karlsson, starts by asking the question, "Have you ever heard of the War Against the Bath Tub, the Potato or the Street?"
The journalist notes the vast amount of resources allocated to the war against terrorism, despite the fact that to date terrorism has killed an average of only 220 people each year. Yet between 300 and 400 Americans die each year in their bath tubs, 640 fatally choke on food and 6,000 are run over when they try to cross the street.
Kristian Karlsson doesn't intend to downplay the threat of terrorism, but questions the measures used in, and the cost of, the war against it and argues that perhaps the war on terrorism is a bit of overkill. Further, he notes that historically this has been the norm in the face of threat, whether real or perceived."
So what will I do with this information? From now on when I encounter a fresh-faced youth, wearing his large colorful homeland security badge, I will lift my eyes, smile and whisper, "Thanks for the overkill."

text: content LE Magazine October 2003 Male MenopauseAvoiding andropause with testosterone treatmentBy Edward D. Rosick Nutrient supplements can boost testosteroneWhile the above studies emphasize the importance of exercise and proper diet, the judicious use of certain nutrient supplements can also help to augment a man's testosterone levels as he ages. While there's no magic supplement on the market today that can turn a 50-year-old man into his 20-year-old former self, there are some safe, well-studied supplements that every man facing andropause should consider adding to his daily regime. Zinc–essential for sexual healthOne supplement that is essential for maintaining a man's sexual functioning is zinc. This mineral is involved in almost every aspect of male reproduction, including testosterone metabolism, sperm formation and sperm motility. There have been multiple studies on the effectiveness of zinc in treating male infertility due to low testosterone levels.[23,24] A prime example of the usefulness of zinc was illustrated in a study of 37 infertile men with decreased testosterone levels and associated low sperm counts.[25] The men were given 60 mg of zinc daily for 45 to 50 days. In 22 patients, testosterone levels significantly increased and mean sperm count rose from 8 to 20 million. Indole-3-carbinol maintains hormonal balanceGetting an adequate intake of indole-3-carbinol (I3C), either through vegetables like broccoli, brussels sprouts and cabbage or via supplements, may prove helpful in keeping estrogen levels in check and decreasing the risk of prostate cancer. Studies have demonstrated that I3C increases the ratio of 2-hydroxyesterone to 16-alpha-hydroxyesterone, thereby causing a decrease in "bad" estrogen and an increase in "good" estrogen. For men, this very well might mean a decrease in prostate cancer. In a study done last year that examined the association of prostate cancer risk with estrogen metabolism, the authors stated that "results of this case-control study suggest that the estrogen metabolic pathway favoring 2-hydroxylation over 16-alpha-hydroxylation may reduce risk of clinically evident prostate cancer."[26] DHEA may help keep testosterone at optimal levels Besides a decline in testosterone levels, there is also a decline seen in dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in aging males. DHEA, a steroid hormone secreted by the adrenal glands in both men and women, is transformed into a variety of important hormones, including estrogen. Several studies have shown that restoring DHEA to youthful levels in older adults increases both physical and mental well being. In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 50 mg of DHEA given every night for six months, both male and female patients (aged 40-to-70) who took DHEA had statistically significant improvements in their energy levels, quality of sleep, mood, and ability to handle stress.[27] Another study measured DHEA levels in 36 men aged 90 to 103 and found that patients who had the highest levels of DHEA had the highest levels of normal daily activities.[28] Supplemental testosterone–the key to overcoming andropause?In any middle-aged man who is experiencing symptoms of andropause, a test of his testosterone levels, both total and free, is essential. If testosterone levels are indeed low, then the use of exogenous, or supplemental, testosterone should be considered. Fortunately, today there are many ways, from gels to patches, that a man with andropause can increase his testosterone levels. And, just as fortunately, there is now a growing body of evidence to lend redence to the idea of supplementing testosterone in older men. In terms of sexual functioning, testosterone supplementation has been shown in multiple studies to improve both libido and erection capability.[29-31] Other studies have shown that supplemental testosterone can also alleviate many of the other symptoms of andropause, including depression, loss of energy and LDL cholesterol levels, which are often a marker of heart disease.[32,33] Testosterone supplementation can also help reverse the potentially devastating effects of sarcopenia and osteoporosis. Supplemental testosterone has been shown to increase bone mass of the lumbar spine in elderly men.[34] A study done in 1995 showed that testosterone given to six men aged 64-to-69 who had low testosterone levels caused a measurable increase in skeletal muscle protein synthesis and strength.[35] A more recent study examined the effects of testosterone supplementation on 10 men 60-to-78 years in age, in a double-blind trial.[36] The results showed that testosterone supplementation increased fat-free mass, improved exercise endurance time and improved balance. Until anti-aging researchers finally figure out the secrets of aging, none of us can stop the advance of time, and with it, andropause. However, what we can do is treat ourselves with respect by eating a wholesome, organically based diet, exercising on a regular basis and taking supplements like those discussed above which can stop the hands of time from taking away our vitality and zest for life.

Rosick is a board-certified (in both Preventive and Holistic Medicine) physician and clinical assistant professor of medicine at Pennsylvania State University, and is the author of numerous health and wellness-related articles.

Need more information? Please call the Children's Department: 202-727-1248.
Jumpstart is a national organization that trains college students in literacy skills that are used in the community. Jumpstart's mission is to ensure that every child enters kindergarten ready to read. Librarians at Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library have been collaborating with local Jumpstart volunteer groups in their efforts to promote literacy and encourage a love of reading, and the UDC Jumpstart men and women work regularly with preschools in southeast D.C.
This October, for the eighth year, the national Jumpstart organization will sponsor "Read for the Record." This is the exciting time of year when millions of children and adults join together and celebrate literacy. Jumpstart has just announced that this year's "Read for the Record" will take place on Thursday, Oct. 3 and this year's book will be Loren Long's book, Otis, a story of friendship between a tractor and a calf, living together on a farm.
The goal will be to break last year's record of 23 million readers.

Sailormade Contender Rope Bracelet 2 2
Great all purpose piece I bought this at one of the Tommy retail stores in navy and have enjoyed it immensely. I don't like to put jewelry on and take it off on a daily basis so this is perfect as you can wear it in the shower and leave it on. It is durable and strong and has held up remarkably well. It is not a "fashion" bracelet, per se, and so the brass may become a bit scratched over time but it is made accordingly and meant to be a rugged piece. It is very authentic for water sports and marine activity and is truly unique. The Brummel clasps take a bit of practice to get used to it, but once mastered, easy to do. February 26, 2014
Quality disappointing given the cost. This was a gift. Although my husband likes this rope bracelet , we were both disappointed when the metal finish on metal fastener began wearing off after less than 2 weeks. This should not happen considering that I paid nearly $100. January 24, 2014

In response to HelloItsMeAgain1's comment:
Geez, I don't see why the Yankees are paying the high priced attorneys to look into whether they can void the contract or not.
All they had to do was come to boston.com and read the definitive posts by a bunch of people with little to zero legal expertise who have not read the contract and they would have found out that it's impossible.
Would have saved themselves a bunch of money.
Lighten up Francis, it's a discussion board. When someone mentions that Gomes will have trouble with righties, I don't ask if he is a scout. When I say that I wouldn't trust Youkilis past 100-120 games, I'm not pretending to be a doctor.
When you clicked on this thread, did you really expect it to be filled with lawyers offering expert opinion?

2 tablespoons
Pure Wesson® Vegetable Oil
7 ounces
dry angel hair fideo, uncooked
1 medium
poblano or green bell pepper, seeded, chopped
1 small
jalapeno or Serrano pepper, seeded, chopped
1/2 cup
chopped onion
6 cloves
garlic, finely chopped
1 (8 ounce) can

6 cups
2 tablespoons
caldo con sabor de pollo (chicken bouillon)
2 cups

1/4 teaspoon
sazon seasoning
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh cilantro
This is how my grandma and Tia's used to cook it. I have been looking through several recipes and this is the closest (without the chicken) recipe that I have found. Besides not adding the chicken, I also didn't add the pepper.. This is VERY authentic sopa and I am very happy to have found this!
I didn't find this recipe to be as flavorful as others. I used twice the amount of sazon and lots of onion, garlic and poblano pepper. It seemed very bland. I'll be looking for a better recipe.

Loved this simple and flavorful soup! A breeze to put together. The flavor was wonderful. A couple of tweaks, I added a quartered and sliced small zucchini and summer squash for some veg, and used 8 cups low sodium chicken broth. I used two 6 oz pouches of Tyson Southwest seasoned grilled chicken chopped fine, and a teaspoon or so of cumin. Delicious, and a definite do-over. Thanks for sharing!
This is an excellent recipe... Full of flavor, and very fragrant. I added some whole peeled tomatoes, and used Chilli seasoning as I couldn't find the "sazon". I also cooked the chicken breast with olive oil and seasoned it with chilli seasoning, salt, and pepper... I fried it until brown and then added about some water and chicken bullion granules. I cooked the chicken as a prepped the vegetables. Enjoy! Very Tasty!
This recipe is absolutely delicious. We have some sensitive palates in our family, so I left out the jalapeno pepper which did not ruin the recipe at all.
delicious!! will make again and again. So much flavor.
I made this with one green bell pepper, one jalapeno, and I used rotisserie chicken breast. If using minced [jarred)garlic go with 2.5 tsp. I cut back on the sazon and only used 1/8 tsp. It turned out delicious. It's very easy and perfect for a cold day.
Very flavorful! I made this using part of an Anaheim pepper and a mix of red, yellow and orange bell peppers. I didn't have a jalapeno or Serrano pepper, so I left that out, but added a little heat with some cayenne pepper. I used thin spaghetti for the pasta and subbed chicken broth for the water/bouillon.

Now, don't start in with all of your generalizations about female softball coaches. We're sure this one has a perfectly good reason for befriending a 14-year-old girl, giving her booze (allegedly) and showing her pornography (also allegedly) and having her over to her house repeatedly over a one year period. If you just take a few minutes, you can probably think of hundreds . . . okay, maybe dozens of reasons . . . okay, really, probably just one or two and those are probably way out in left field, why this would happen. Still' let's not be too hasty in judging this woman's actions.
Elizabeth Anne Rossok, age 20, 4295 West US 40, Apt. C, Greencastle, IN surrendered herself to the Putnam County judicial system on Friday, November 12, preliminarily charged with one count of Sexual Misconduct with a Minor, Class D felony and one count of Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor, Class A misdemeanor. Rossok later bonded out on 10% of the $20,000 bond.
Indiana State Police Detective Deanna Jones began an investigation on September 24, 2010, at the request of the Department of Child Services in Putnam County, into allegations that Elizabeth Anne Rossok had sexual contact on multiple occasions with a 14 year old female friend. The sexual contact allegedly occurred at Rossok's home over a nearly one year period, beginning in August of 2009 and lasting until the initiation of this investigation. The victim is now 15 years of age.
During the investigation, additional allegations surfaced accusing Ms. Rossok of providing pornographic material and alcoholic beverages to the 14 year old victim during the same period as the sexual contact.

Jan 24 2013: G'day Edward
All I can say is we live in a placebo democracy these days, what is so democratic in having such a high volume of poverty-stricken & unprivileged people in high developed countries like the US & Australia? The wealth of the land certainly isn't being democratically distributed evenly among the people of such well-off countries it's being swallowed up by multinational dictators & they do dictate.
These multinational dictators just don't dictate what's going to happen in a particular country but the world. Take a look at the history of the bond market & see how just through the bond market multinationals have been able to dictate events to their own benefit of course in the world & this is only one area multinational dictators affect us look at the energy magnates how they dictate.
We live in a dictatorship & we don't even know it, bring back true democracy & you will find that the unfair fluctuations we are having will just disappear.
edward long 100+Jan 24 2013: Everything you say rings true but I cannot believe we are truly post-democracy dictatorships. I'm hoping against all odds that it is not too late for people to wake-up and smell the effete demagogues who are fattening themselves at the trough while we ignorant, apathetic people who put them there wait for a scrap to be thrown our way. You Aussies revolt and we Yanks will watch. If it works for you we will stand up and shout "We're not gonna take it anymore!"
Jan 24 2013: I have to agree. Usually in the post democracy dictatorship, the government has taken control of the economy.
I see economies have gone global. Right now, in the states, basic manufacturing has gone, leaving a void, leaving a vast untapped manpower resource available. Currently, there is confusion and loss of focus. However, there is an ace in the hole. Vast new gas supplies should provide a very inexpensive energy resource. Right now we are limping along on information and service industries. I foresee a new infusion of capital as profits fall in other parts of the world and as profits fell here in the past, they will fall elsewhere. It is said that Mother Nature demands a balance across the globe.
Jan 24 2013: G'day Edwars
Could you imagine if us Aussies did revolt, I think the yanks would leave us to the dogs at our gates even though we have been quite supportive of the US. Probably China would take over where the US left off, hmmmmmm!!!!!!
I don't think it's ever too late until the game is over or until the fat lady sings Edward, true democracy isn't dead it's just taken a wrong turn & we can only hope that the big boys wake up in time to this error of judgment. Greed is a very ugly, corruptive destructive obsession which could bring any true democracy down to its knees & maybe that's what there trying to do which may be a part of this new world order.
True democracy was about being heard through an elected spokesman in a democratically held forum; now look at these spokesmen who are supposed to be our voice, there more like lords.

Easily one of my favorite songs ever, the way the rhythm and lead guitar lines dance and swirl around each other. Feels like the Whigs rarely hit the intensity of this early song later on.

A Possible RFA Solution
This is JF Jacques. He's a fricking mountain. 6-4, 225 with speed and when he hits people they stay hit and in the AHL he is a player who can put up points.
Jacques has been having some troubles putting the entire package together at the NHL level, specifically in regard to points. Or point, to be more specific.
Jacques (along with Marc Pouliot and several other rfa's caught in the AHL) has a bit of a problem this summer. These players, with Pouliot being the case study, have not established themselves at the NHL level yet and are simply not worth the amount it would take to qualify them.
Here, let's run the numbers on Pouliot to show the example. His NHL salary for his entry level contract (which expires after the season) is $942,000 which is almost exactly what Marty Reasoner is making. In order to retain Pouliot this summer, Edmonton must qualify him even though he isn't in the NHL at a larger number, but if he doesn't make the team he'll be spending another season making AHL wages. Not long ago I asked our resident CBA expert (speeds) to shed some light on Pouliot's situation, focusing specifically on the Oilers possibly offering Pouliot a one-way deal for far less than the qualifying offer. In a post below (2/10 Sunday Minor League Report) Michael was kind enough to supply the following information:
Yes, to keep Pouliot's rights they will have to offer him a 5% raise, ~ 989.5K per year. According to section 10.2.a.iii, a player must have played 180 games in the last 3 years AND played 60 games the season previous AND not cleared waivers last year, to have to be given a one way QO.
If I'm interpreting that correctly it means that Pouliot need not be given a one way QO (the AHL portion of the QO has to be at least as much as he is making in the AHL this season).
Having said all that, they can negotiate before July 1st, and get him signed before they even need to make a QO, so yes, if they wanted to they could easily approach Pouliot and say "We'll give you a one way deal, 2 years, 600K per year. What do you think?" with the understanding that if Pouliot doesn't agree to such a deal, they can send him a QO and he may end up in the minors once again next year.
I think this might be the way Edmonton proceeds with one or two of their unproven rfa's this summer. In the case of Joni Pitkanen (2.4M), Jarret Stoll (2.2M), Denis Grebeshkov (.950M), Robert Nilsson (.942M), Tom Gilbert (.907M) and Zack Stortini (.534M) Edmonton will probably play it straight up, offering NHL level players a small raise and in some cases (Pitkanen, Gilbert) much bigger paydays. With Pouliot, I think there's every chance the Oilers offer him a contract in the Patrick Thoresen (.570M) range and sign him for a couple of seasons.
The Oilers roster currently in terms of F's 10-14:
- Marty Reasoner (.950M)
- Patrick Thoresen (.570M)
- Zack Stortini (.534M)
- Curtis Glencross (.522M)
- Kyle Brodziak (.497M)
We can possibly build a case for Pouliot (or someone similar) taking the Reasoner slot if the Oilers don't bring Marty back for another season. JF Jacques salary (.668M) isn't as much the issue and frankly if Pouliot had been able to hold onto the job in the fall he would be in a similar situation to Nilsson currently.
He didn't, and if his path to the show includes a healthy paycut in exchange for a one-way deal that's a trade Pouliot should probably consider. Should he deliver on the opportunity, bigger paydays lie ahead. Jacques path is further complicated by the fact that Zack Stortini has filled the role Jacques may have been earmarked for in the summer.

Research shows that two out of three family businesses do not survive into the next generation. And not just from the first generation to the second, but from any generation to the next.
Because family businesses make up more than 70 percent of all businesses, the tally of closures can add up.
There is a lot of information available on what the central causes are for family business failures – and thus, some guidelines on how to avoid them.
Here are some of the top success strategies for those family businesses that do survive and even thrive:
1) Keep the lines of communication open. Communication is critical. When I once asked publisher Steve Forbes at the N.C. CEO Forum what advice he would give to a family businesses, he declared that communication was the most important element to success for his family's business. McKay Belk, grandson of the founder of Belk retail stores, and Frank Holding Jr., of the Raleigh-based, family-controlled First Citizens Bank, both agreed.
It is also important to be proactive: Schedule family meetings to discuss topics such as business transition, business performance, and responsibilities. Most of all, don't let issues fester.
2) Assign clear roles and responsibilities. As a family member, there is a natural tendency to feel everything is my business. However, not everything is every family member's responsibility. Without job definitions, family members will be on top of each other working the same problem. Elaine Voci, Founder of Voci Spa in Charlotte, agrees: "It is important that each family member have clearly defined roles in order to operate smoothly."
3) Keep good financial data. The downfall of many small businesses and family businesses is not having solid data.
"Accurate financial data is essential, especially when you are trying to raise capital in a fast-growing industry like we are," said Sally Crowell of Crowell Systems in Charlotte, which provides software to health care clients.
I had a client who predicted a 3-4 percent net income increase at year end, only to learn that the company was down 2 percent because of incompetent accounting. All the plans that were being made for growth had to be redirected to cost savings.
4) Avoid overpaying family members. Market-based compensation is fundamental and essential. Parents in family businesses tend to overpay the next generation, or pay them the same. Both are bad practices. A family business I worked with paid each of the four family members the same salary, even though they had very different responsibilities. Certainly the president should receive higher compensation than his brother who, while quite good, was a blueprint designer. The longer unfair compensation practices continue, the messier it will be to clean up when it blows up.
5) Don't hire relatives if they are unqualified. Competence is key. Family businesses are a conundrum: The family aspect generates unqualified love, while the business side cares about profits. Thus, family members will be hired to give them a job, even though they are not qualified. The remedy is to get them trained, move them to a role that matches their skills, or have them leave.
High-functioning family businesses can outperform nonfamily businesses on a number of metrics. Trust is the driver. But when trust breaks down, the business suffers, placing a significant strain on family harmony. Adhering to the above five rules, while uncomfortable, can keep a family and business on the track to success and help avoid being one of those that does not survive.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - State legislative Republicans are said to be close to an agreement to give more state aid to Wisconsin public schools, tied to a limited statewide private school voucher program.
A conservative group said this morning that a deal was reached. But as of mid-day, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that lobbyists are trying to influence lawmakers by leaking out details.
A spokeswoman for Senate GOP leader Scott Fitzgerald says there continues to be "positive, ongoing discussions."
Governor Scott Walker's office said they're still working with lawmakers on a plan to give parents quality education choices while protecting taxpayers.
The Journal Sentinel reported there is a deal.
It would give public schools an extra $150 per student in state aid in each of the next two years.
A tax-funded private school voucher program to give low-income students an alternative to public schools would go statewide but with sharp limits.
Only up to one-percent of a district's students can be in a voucher program, and the state aid for those youngsters would not rise as much as the governor had wanted.
Private schools would have to be in business for two years before accepting voucher students – and it would not include Walker's plan give vouchers to special needs' youngsters.
