Area Type: Suburban Homeowners In Smaller Private Family Homes
Typically less affluent than the "Affluent Home Owning Couples & Families", these residents live in smaller less expensive semi and detached properties in small towns and pleasant suburbs. We see a mix of couples, singles and families. Typically homes are mortgaged although some are owned outright. Although this group includes directors, the majority are occupied in professional, white and blue collar employment. Car ownership is high as most residents use private transport to travel to work. Typically responsive to mail order, they are quite able to maintain repayments. They read a mix of newspapers.

For the Record
Navistar contended that independent tests show new commercial vehicles that must contain liquid urea to meet federal NOx emissions standards continue to operate effectively when urea is not present. Navistar said the vehicles throw off levels of NOx as much as 10 times higher or more than when urea is present.
The research cited by Navistar was conducted by EnSight, an independent environmental consulting firm, using two long-haul vehicles and one heavy-duty pickup, all of which used SCR. According to Navistar, EnSight's research showed that when liquid urea was not present, there was little or no effect on the vehicles' operations; this included long periods of time when the vehicles' urea tanks were empty or were refilled with water instead of urea.
Fuller Gets 50,000th Freightliner
By Avery Vise
Few trucking executives buy 50,000 trucks over the course of their careers, but Max Fuller has accomplished something even more unusual. On Aug. 5, the co-chairman and chief executive officer of Chattanooga, Tenn.-based U.S. Xpress took delivery of his 50,000th truck of a single make – Freightliner.
In a ceremony at U.S. Xpress' headquarters, Fuller officially took possession of the 2010 Freightliner Cascadia 72-inch sleeper with Detroit Diesel DD15 engine. Martin Daum, president and CEO of Daimler Trucks North America, also presented Fuller with a memento of the occasion – a Freightliner etched into a block of crystal. "It might be the only Freightliner you ever get for free," Daum quipped as he handed the trophy to Fuller. Closing out the ceremony, Fuller handed the keys to the 2010 Cascadia to its driver, James Waldo, who has worked for U.S. Xpress and Southwest Motor Freight for 38 years.
In 1974, Fuller took over purchasing responsibilities for his father Clyde, owner of Southwest Motor Freight, representing the beginning of his relationship with Freightliner. Fuller recalls that Freightliner's marketing materials then – just after the big OPEC oil embargo – touted the trucks' fuel efficiency and light weight. Fuller's first order was about 150 trucks, which was almost half the Southwest Motor Freight fleet.
Fuller continued to buy Freightliners when he and Patrick Quinn struck out on their own in 1985 to launch U.S. Xpress. As the company grew quickly, U.S. Xpress bought 3,000 or 4,000 trucks a year in some years. Fuller also emphasized the relationship with Freightliner by signing a 12-year exclusive agreement that began in the late 1980s.

I have added a menu screen. I used a starfield+skybpox code that I already had, slapped in a title and some buttons, and voila, instant menu screen. Actually, I still have to do a lot of work, but its good to get placeholders in there.
There will be a skirmish mode and campaign mode. I will concentrate on skirmish mode first, so that I will have something people can playtest as soon as possible. The ultimate plan is to have online multiplayer, but I dont know much about that stuff so that will come much later. I will concentrate on challenging AI for a great single player experience first.
Yay, it's a brand new day, a brand new blog and a fresh start. Looking forward to telling y'all about my exciting new RTS game.
Stay tuned!

Love Will Tear Us Apart6 Reviews
Four guys in a band living in one house. What could be funnier than that? Throw in two girls, a handful of humor, a pinch of romance, and one tablespoon of drama and you've got something interestin...
My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue
Chapter Eleven: Love Will Tear Us Apart
Why is this bedroom so cold,
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Cait walked down the hallway slowly. Everything had been cleared up from the pool incident last Tuesday, and the end of the week neared faster than any of the group could have imagined.
"Yeah... I know." She heard Patrick's voice coming through his door, which it seemed he had tried to close, but the sweatshirt hanging over the top kept it from doing so. "I know, I understand that. But it just doesn't work that way..." He said, sounding frustrated. Cait knew it was wrong to listen in, but she couldn't help herself. Little did she know at the time it would completely destroy her.
"I get that, but it still won't work, not unless I go there for a while... I know, I know." There was a pause. "Alright... Uh huh, bye. Of course I love you." Cait's breath caught in her throat.
Patrick was cheating on her? Or was he using her to cheat on someone else? Wait, this was Patrick. Patrick wasn't evil enough to cheat; he was possibly the sweetest thing on the planet. But, she had heard it with her own ears.
The words raced through her head. "...Not unless I go there for a while..." "...It just doesn't work that way..." "...Of course I love you..." Cait felt her eyes well up with tears and she ran back to her room, slamming the door as she rushed in.
For now, she just felt like running away from her problem.
About an hour later, Patrick was making his way down the stairs and into the kitchen. The rest of the boys were sitting at the kitchen table. Andy and Joe were talking about something, and Pete was eating cereal and reading the newspaper.
"I know, but that was so lame." Andy said to Joe.
"Yeah, but it was cool at the time... Just like your scarf in the 'A Little Less Sixteen Candles' video... Cool at the time, but totally lame now." Joe responded, then took a drink of his water bottle.
"Anyone seen Cait?" Patrick asked, sitting down on a stool. Everyone thought for a moment.
Andy shook his head. "Nope."
"Last time I saw her was early this morning; she was down here eating when I came to get a drink." Pete replied.
"Last night was the last time I saw Cait... Weren't you talking to her this morning? I heard you talking to someone in your room..." Joe said.
"Nah, I was on the phone with my mom." Patrick responded.
"Oh, alright then. How's she doing?" Joe asked. Patrick's mom had made a few appearances, and everyone always loved her.
"She's alright... She's weird though... She's got this whole big thing she's planning, and I really don't feel like going all the way to her summer home in Florida to go... I mean, I love my mom and all, but I'd rather stay here than travel on the only time I actually have off from traveling." Patrick explained.
"Your mom is crazy, dude..." Pete said, and then went back to the paper, where he was reading the comics, the only section that ever interested him. The rest of the paper was just kind of thrown to the side.
"Well... I gotta to go find Cait." Patrick said, standing up.
Tara walked into the kitchen then "Looking for Cait? Check her room first, then the attic..."
"Thanks." Patrick responded, bounding up the stairs. He got to Cait's door and called her name, then knocked. "Caitie, are you in there?" There was no response. He knocked again. "Caitie?" Nothing. He tried to turn the knob, but it was locked.
That was unusual. Why would Cait have to lock her door? As far as Patrick knew she'd only ever locked it once, and that was when he was in the room with her.
"Caitie, open the door..." He said, knocking on it again. He sighed and went back down stairs.
"She's not there?" Tara asked, seeing the look on Patrick's face.
"She's there. Her bedroom door is locked..." He said, sitting down at the table and putting his face in his hands with a huff. "She wouldn't respond when I knocked, or when I called her name, but I know she's in there. She's gotta be in there, why else would the door be locked?" His voice was muffled by his hands, but everyone could hear what he was saying anyway.
Everyone seemed to get a concerned look on their faces. If there was something going on between the 'perfect couple' then there was trouble in paradise, and that was never expected to happen.
Tara walked over, and rubbed Patrick's back sympathetically. "You want me to see if she'll come out of her room?" She asked, leaning over next to him. He kind of nodded into his hands. "Kay, I'll be back... I'm sure everything's fine and it's got nothing to do with you."
Tara was next to be running up the stairs. She knocked on Cait's door. "Caitlyn Ann Fischer you open this door right now!" Cait didn't respond.
"Kay, full name threatening does not work..." Tara said quietly to herself.
She knocked again. "Don't make me get Pete and Joe to knock down your door... Let me in right now! Cait, I'm not kidding. The guys will be more than happy to knock down your door!" Tara said again, knocking so hard her knuckles hurt.
She smiled, and pulled a bobby pin out of her hair, causing her bangs to fall into her eyes. She blew at them, but failed to do anything more than mess them up. She sighed, and put the bobby pin in the lock, twisting it and turning it until she finally heard it click. She smiled at herself, pushed the door open and stepped inside, then closed it behind her.
Cait was lying on her bed on her stomach, her face buried in a pillow, as her body shook from crying that she had obviously been doing all morning. Tara immediately felt her throat start to tighten as she saw her friend like that. She took a deep breath to compose herself. She needed to be strong for Cait, who was obviously having some sort of problem at the moment.
"Cait," Tara said softly, walking over and sitting down on the bed. "Cait, what's the matter?" Tara asked, putting her hand on Cait's back.
Cait shuddered violently, trying to get Tara's hand off of her. "Go away..." She choked, her voice muffled by the pillow.
"Cait, come on, stop this. The last time I saw you this way--," Tara stopped herself. She didn't want to make Cait even more upset than she already was. But the last time she had seen Cait that way, Cait's mother had just died after fighting six years of a losing battle to cancer. "I don't want to remember the last time I saw you like this." Or maybe the last time she'd seen the girl in such a state was the day that she'd stolen her first love from her. Yeah, that time. The day she flipped out on Tara for kissing Pete...
Cait slowly lifted her head. Her face was red and tear-stained. "I don't wanna talk about it right now..." She said, almost gasping for air. She was crying so hard, the girl was running herself out of breath.
"Patrick is really torn up; he thinks he's done something..."
"I said I don't wanna talk about it Tara."
"He did didn't he?"
"I said--,"
"What on Earth could Patrick have done to upset you this much?"
"For the fourth time Tara! I don't want to talk about it!"
"Cait, you're talking whether you want to or not."
"No I'm not..."
"You are if I say you are; now tell me what's bothering you."
"Go away Tara..." Cait buried her face in her pillow again.
"I'm not leaving until you talk to me..."
"Be prepared to sit for a few days, maybe even years..." Cait mumbled into the pillow.
"No Cait, you're talking now..."
"Don't waste my time with this shit Cait! Come on, you can't trust me?"
"I just don't wanna talk about it right now..."
"Please Cait?"
"Later Tara... Just leave me alone..."
"Cait, I know how you get when you're upset. You make rash decisions, and potentially ruin things that are important to you. I'm not gonna let you talk to anyone until you're out of this funk..." Tara said as she stood up.
"I'll be back to check up on you in a few hours Cait, unless you come down... But I promise you, I care about you, and I know there are four other people in this house who do as well..." Tara said, shutting the door. She immediately heard Cait get up and lock it again.
Tara sighed. She felt bad for Patrick, who believed he did something that upset Cait, who was probably the most important thing in his life. She was even more important than the band, and that was big for the lead singer of a band to say, that someone was more important than his band.
Patrick was still sitting at the kitchen table with his head in his hands when Tara came back down, about twenty minutes after she had left. He looked up at her, his eyes pleading for her to tell him that everything was okay, and that maybe Cait's door was just jammed, or something.
But that's not what she would tell him. And she hated being in this position, being in a place that would completely break someone. "She's really upset about something... She looks like she's been crying since this morning..."
Patrick groaned. This could not possibly get worse for him. His girlfriend was upset, probably at him; but for what? He had no Earthly idea. "Why? Did you find out what's bothering her?"
"No... She won't tell me, and I'd really rather let her calm down and then tell me anyway..." Tara responded.
"Wonder what it is..." Pete said, standing up with his bowl in one hand, and the carton of skim milk in the other. He had not decided to be adventurous that morning, well, afternoon. Pete was a little late on breakfast today.
"I don't know what I did... Why did she let you in but not me?" Patrick asked, looking up at Tara.
"She didn't exactly let me in... I kind of picked her lock," she poked the bobby pin in her hair.
Patrick nodded. "Did she say anything at all?"
"Just to leave her alone... But I asked her if you did anything and she got really mad at me." Tara said, sitting down across from Patrick.
"I don't know what I did! I don't get this! I do absolutely nothing and I still manage to fuck up something!" Patrick slammed his fist against the table. He closed his eyes and sighed.
Tara and Pete both backed up at the same time. Patrick never really got angry, or upset, so this was relatively new. He only got mad when he was kidding around, but he did slap Pete in the face once.
"Sorry..." He mumbled when he realized what he'd done. He was racking his brain for anything he could have possibly said or done to Cait to make her this upset at him. But he wasn't coming up with anything.
"Tara, when she does talk to you, please tell me right away whatever she tells you..." He said, rubbing his eyes and willing himself not to cry.
"Of course Patrick. You'd be the first person I'd tell anyway..." She said, with a smile. She was trying to give him the sign that there was indeed hope in the situation, tell him that there was a light he wasn't seeing at the end of the tunnel, and that he wasn't walking right into his grave. But he didn't see her smile, he had put his face in his hands again.
"What did I do?" He asked himself, standing up and walking towards the basement door. He opened it slowly, and walked in, slamming it behind him with a great amount of force.
"Note to self: Don't ever get Cait pissed... Patrick will rip your head off." Pete mumbled, staring after the usually cool calm and collected Patrick Stump.
"Sounds like a plan..." Andy mumbled from somewhere to his right.
The sounds of a guitar drifted from the basement, and they all decided mentally to not go down there until Patrick came upstairs again.
x--------------Patrick's POV--------------x
I don't know what I did. I have no godly idea what I did. No idea.
Why? Why me? Why is this happening to me? I feel so paranoid right now, but I can't help it. It feels like my world is falling apart. If Cait is mad at me, and she leaves me, I don't know what I'll do. I don't know how I'll survive.
It's not even like she has somewhere else to go other than her dad's house, and that's not even in Illinois. He lives all the way in California, and that's pretty far away.
And, besides what I could have done wrong, the only thing that's going through my mind are the lyrics to /Love Will Tear Us Apart/... Great thing to be thinking when your girlfriend's mad at you isn't it?
So, what do I do? Storm off to the basement, and play the song on my guitar and sing it loud until my throat hurts so bad I can't sing anymore... Yeah, that's sure a good way to spend a day.

When it comes to vaccine intervention for disease control, should personal liberty go before the benefit to society?
This question is extremely important when one considers current news on the Human Papillomavirus vaccine. The main vaccine, Gardasil, has been widely used on women ages 9-26 since its introduction in 2006. The vaccine first made waves in 2007 when Texas governor Rick Perry issued an executive order to mandate the vaccine for all young women in Texas. Even though it was met with much opposition and ultimately failed, the question still remained: should we have a mandatory HPV vaccine for all women? The two sides of the argument clash, each bringing significant evidence to bear on the issue. Mathematical models indicate that with a vaccine as effective as this one (about 100%), mandating the vaccine will stamp out the virus types targeted by the vaccine. HPV is the most common STI with 45% of college age women currently infected. Freeing society of such a dangerous virus, the number one cause of cervical cancer, is a highlight of the pro-mandate argument. The opposition suggests that personal liberty is at stake, and that parents should have the choice to vaccinate their children if they believe the vaccine is worth it for them. What do you think? Is it reasonable to limit personal liberty for the good of the community in the face of a spreading killer virus?

Mar 8 2012: In order to mandate this drug I feel as if you would have to mandate it to the entire population. Although there is no way to test a man to determine whether he does or does not have it, he is still a possible carry of HPV. If you do not mandate it for the entire population you are singling out half of the population that can carry and spread the disease. HPV is the primary cause for cervical cancer, but only covers 70% of the cause of it. The other 30% of this still goes on to cause cancer. On the other hand it protects against 90% of genital warts which is found on both men and women. The vaccination does not have as high a percentage of blocking cervical cancer as it does for genital warts. So although I agree that this vaccination should not be mandated for the purpose of taking away our rights to decide what we are going to do with our bodies, I believe that if it is mandated then it should mandated to the entire population.

GRIFFIN – An eighth-grader stood in a school gymnasium Friday, accepting her award for an essay she wrote about what it took to overcome illness and family issues that would have crippled most.
Beside her and presenting the award was the daughter of Jackie Robinson, whose physical gifts were surpassed only by the courage and character it took to endure racial prejudices, shatter baseball's color barrier and become one of the most revered figures in sports.
Today, baseball, the sport Robinson once graced, is tainted by too many athletes who can't even overcome their own egos. It's more important to the weak-minded likes of Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and now Manny Ramirez, to satisfy their own statistical and economic urges than to do things the right way with integrity. Like Robinson. Like even Meagan Williams of Kennedy Road Middle School in Griffin.
"I'm sure my father would be very disappointed in the direction things have taken, not just in baseball, but in all of professional athletics," Sharon Robinson said Friday. "He was a four-sport letterman at UCLA. He managed to go from a track meet to a baseball game in the same season and have to perform in both places — and he never would have thought about using any kind of artificial enhancement in order to make that happen.
"We live in a culture that has to change. We have to deal with it. Whether it's social drugs or performance-enhancing drugs, you can't deny it. You have to deal with it head on it and move on."
Jackie Robinson retired from baseball after the 1956 season. Sharon was six-years old. She has few memories of her father as an athlete. She remembers going to spring training. She remembers going to a game, "but I can't really remember anything about it."
But there was the trophy case in the house and the framed picture of Jackie stealing home at the top of the staircase (see video below). And there always were fans asking for autographs.
Jackie Robinson was quiet. He seldom spoke to his children about the racism he faced daily, even as a baseball star. She only came to learn some details when she was nine-years-old and attended a day camp.
"It rained one day," she said, "so they showed a movie: The Jackie Robinson story."
In 1997, baseball celebrated the 50th anniversary of Robinson being the first in baseball's modern era to break the color barrier. Sharon Robinson had been a midwife and educator for 20 years. But the anniversary was her entry into baseball. She threw out first pitches at games. She eventually went to work for Major League Baseball, in charge of educational programming, and started, "Breaking Barriers: In Sports, In Life."
The curriculum is based on her father's nine values for success: determination, commitment, persistence, integrity, justice, courage, teamwork, citizenship and excellence. Williams, one of the winners in this year's essay contest, wrote of her battles with Kawasaki disease as a youth and a broken home life. The essay was not made public. But Robinson said she referenced several problems involving her parents and "talked of needing courage just to come home."
Baseball is trying to fix its problems. After years of seeing the number of African Americans in the sport decline, it's finally on the up tick (it rose from 8.2 percent in 2007 to 10.2 percent last season).
And what of drug use? Robinson believes commissioner Bud Selig is determined to clean up the sport.
When asked if she thought baseball once turned a blind eye to steroid use, she smiled and said: "I don't know if I'm allowed to say that. So let's just move on."
Baseball is trying to move on. But it could use more reminders of the past.

Man, I'd have loved to see Jackie Robinson steal home in person. Had there been internet, blogs and YouTube in 1955, we'd either be sipping margaritas on Mars by now, or we'd be back in the dark ages. No in-between.

If all were like Jackie Robinson, I would be proud if for the enternity of baseball that all players were African-American. However, black are like all people. A lot of good people, a few like Jackie Robinson, and fewer whom we'd like to forget.
For me it's not a goal of how many players are African-Americans, or executives. But rather how many who have the desire are able to attain it. If they are unable to attain it due to talent, then I can accept that. If they are unable to attain it due to obstructions placed in their path then it's an unacceptable tragedy.
But it's no less tragic that having those same obstacles placed in any human's path who wishes to obtain a dream, fulfill a desire. When Robinson played, many barriers were placed in his path. Through his skill and integrity he helped remove them.
Today, I'm more convinced it is entirely an issue of dreams lying on paths other than baseball. While we want to expand the appeal of baseball, we cannot confuse barriers with lack of desire. It is ultimately up to the kids to decide where their dreams lie. If the path remains available to all who desire it and it therefore comes down to their talent, then it's the best we can achieve and we should be happy with it.

Jeff…enough already about the lack of black players in MLB. Do you ask that same question concerning the lack of whites in the NBA? Blacks are playing football and basketball instead of baseball because they stand a chance to make big money quicker in basketball than MLB. Face it you can be a superstar baseball player in high school or college and still find yourself laboring for peanuts for years in Bluefield, WVA or Medicine Hat, Idaho or Binghampton, NY!!! If black athletes thought they could make it quicker and hit the big money by playinghose baseball, then they would! Also throw in the competition that black athletes as well as white face from Hispanic and Oriental stars is more daunting in MLB than the NBA or NFL. How many of those aforementioned minorities do you see playing football or basketball??

I agree with you Najeh — Terence would've likely have been unjustly vilified. TM frequently received undeserved criticism. That said, I wouldn't click a link to read one of his columns on AOL unless I was bored enough to read about a two-headed goat involved in a drive-by shooting at a south dakota nursing home.
Terence's writing never bothered me but alas, his columns didn't "make me think" often enough either.. (Disclaimer and apology: I ain't known for my thinkin', mainly my drinkin'). Still, I'd certainly buy him a drink and probably enjoy hanging out with him very much. Terence is likely a stellar guy and way way better than some of these peanut gallery critics gave him credit for. Where-ever he is, I wish him well.

Can someone please tell me "what is an african american"? After that answer please tell me what is an American? YEs I said it. I am so sick of the term African American as I am an American just like my brothers with white pigmentation who were just like me, born in the great land we call USA.
Now I must comment about the lack of americans with dark skin tone playing baseball. When I grew up and probably still today most Little Leagues were based on where you live so of course blacks played with blacks and whites with whites and so forth. We would then meet each other in playoffs, etc….
Not until high school would I as a black person get to play on a team with my white brothers and we really enjoyed each other. The problem I had and saw was that some of the better players we had on my Little League team did not move on to play in high school as I did. I was pretty good myself but I knew there were others as good but for some reason or another they did not play in high school. There lies the issue that was brought up in the article. Its not a talent thing but there are some issues out there that is stopping the black baseball player from wanting to play. The majority of the white guys on my team were superstars in litte league and wanted to keep playing. I really liked their enthusiasm but wondered why the black guys did not play. Far from a racist but as I played high school then on to college I was the "token black baseball player" and it was strange.
We can say some played other sports but as beforementioned Jackie played 4 sports in college, Bo Jackson excelled, Deion excelled, and Dave Winfield was drafted in the 4 major sports. Last I checked the only sport going on during baseball season was soccer and track.
I dont see to many black guys walking out on the soccer field and track meets are infrequent and coaches would allow you to show up to meets if you played other sports. I in fact could have ran track if I wanted to but my freshman year in high school I played soccer even though I did not go to practice due to my baseball commitment.
Ponder over all that I have written and now we can see that the issue is to find out about what is intefering with black americans wanting to play baseball. Its not about the quick dollar because AROD makes 25 million and I dont know of many basketball players makint that. BJ Upton and Justin Upton (brothers) were selected 1 and 2 in different years and I know there parents are very happy especially with the signing bonus they received. SO the story of the Uptons and the other very rich baseball players refutes the argument of the quick dollar. There is talk of the pitcher from San Dieg State commanding a 20 million dollar signing bonuse as the top pick in this summers amatuer draft. That is insane but just shows you how much money there is to make in baseball especially at the four levels with 25 man rosters (A, AA, AAA, MLB).
WIth all being said the point is we have to fix the inner cities take kids off the streets and help them become productive members of society. Not all can be pro athletes but I assure you all can recieve and education.
My career as an athlete ended in college but today I am a productive member of society who trys to help out young men of all races.
Currently I am in Iraq serving our great nation but I still keep aware of the issues in my HOME the USA.
Excuse any grammar issues I may have used or spelling as I am not graded for this, just trying to put out info. And yes I do have a college degree (Accounting) and I serve as an officer in the US Army

I'm disappointed in baseball and I don't need Jackie Robinson, his daughter or a writer to tell me. In fact one reason I'm disappointed is all the pomp over retiring #32 for all teams and then every freakin player wears the number one night. That along with hip-hop pants and no socks. I'm tired of hearing about Jackie Robinson. I'm sick of hearing about a mediocre player from 50 years ago. I know what he did, I don't need to hear it every day for the last 10 years. Enough already.
May 16th, 2009

I'm so sick of hearing about Jackie Robinson. Sure he was a great player.And he was black, but he also just happened to be the first to cross the line. Good for him. If he hadn't I can almost assure you that some other minority would have crossed. It's silly that all stadiums have # 42 stcuk to the outfield wall, and it's silly the players wear # 42 on their sleeve,and it's silly to commemorate JR day every season.It happened, we are all gald that minorities play sports and have made other advances, but lets move on.

I didn't see much written in this article about the declining number of blacks in baseball. It was mostly about the declining amount of character. In that regard it could just as easily be about these times as it is about baseball. Certainly boorish behavior isn't constrained to just sports and athletes.

Did you read the part where Schutlz wrote: "Sharon Robinson had been a midwife and educator for 20 years." ??
It's not like she's some massive public figure whose appeal is far reaching. What else has she got to do? Be at work with the students at 7:00 – leave at 3:00. You hold her in too high esteem sir – her contributions were minimal compared to her father. I'm give credit to Schultz for even being able to track her down.

Terrence Moore either writes about prejudice against blacks or how some black man was done wrong in 90% of his columns. That is why most people get tired of his rhetoric! Who cares what he says anymore. You know what he going to say before he says it. He needs to wake up and get a clue!!

Is it some sort of a crime if black atheletes don't take over every american sport? African americans dominate the NFL and the NBA while white atheletes tend to gravitate toward sports like golf and baseball. Thats just how its playing out in the 21st century. There is no conspiracy to keep blacks out of baseball. The fact is young black kids look up to lebron james and ladanian tomlinson moreso than ryan howard. They choose to play basketball and football because thats what they want to freakin play. The racial divide will continue between white and blacks if divisive issues like these are continuosly drummed up to try and frame some kind of racial inequality. I mean what would be said if a group of old white NBA players led by bob cousy started complaining about the dwindling number of white players in the NBA? Yes we all know how that would go over. So where is the racial equality in that? If you wish to be equal then act like an equal. Barack Obama is president of the United States because he knows that he is equal. Period. There were a lot of great African american baseball players in the 70's and 80's but in the last two decades the NFL and NBA have grown tremendously in popularity among all races. Could the decline in popularity of baseball and the tremendous growth of the NBA and NFL have anything to do with african american kids gravitating away from baseball? I think absolutely. Im old enough to remember at the end of the 1970's that the NBA was in really big financial trouble but magic and bird helped solve that problem. The 1980's NBA finals were not televised nationally! African american kids simply like football and basketball better than baseball. I think its really that simple.

Why does every topic on here eveutally ends up a race debate? Give it a rest people,I thought it was a great piece Jeff. We all know that Terence would have put a negative race spin such as "the Braves would be better if they had more than one brother on the team".
May 16th, 2009

One sentence. There's one sentence in the entire column about African-Americans participation in MLB slightly increasing and you'd swear that was the theme of the entire column.It was not.
What is was about is overcoming adversity.It was about courage in the face of enormous odds. What it was about was saying "no" to social and performance-enhancing drugs. What it was about was good ol' fashion family values that are universal.It was about dignity and carrying oneself with grace.
Yet some of you want to make it about race and then blame it on other people."Terrence Moore, blah blah, blah….".
Howard, we're in the 21st Century now and we don't call people "Oriental" anymore than we call ourselves "Occidental".Do you understand why? They would like to be called Asians, or better yet, Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, et cetera.
Sooner or later, those of you who have deep-seated issues with people who look different than you are going to have to deal with the fact that this country, like the rest of the world, is getting darker. You will not be able to do much if you can't respect and get along with "the other".
One way is to approach and embrace common ground and universal values like the ones discussed in this column without resentment.

I get tired of hearing about the lack of blacks in MLB. Black kids see baseball as a white mans game and white kids see basketball as a black mans. Many will tell you it's because whites can't play basketball, but look at the number of white stars in the NBA and look at the success of the countries who have all white teams in international and olympic competition. It's just something else for blacks to complain about. I'm also tired of hearing interviews with Henry Aaron that have to go into how blacks were treated in his time and the same for Jackie Robinson. You never hear them talk about where they would be if not for what baseball DID for them.

Before they ran the Kentucky Derby (during the 5 hours of mostly worthless pre-race ESPN chatter), the announcers rambled onto a point about steroids use in horse racing. One announcer said that the reason the owners paid so much money for their horses was for pedigree. If a horse with pedigree won a race like the Kentucky Derby it would pay off most in breeding fees they could collect. Then he said steroids ruined that system. A horse on steroids is not assurred of siring anything more than a nag that will need steroids to compete. In short, steroids would fell the sport. Then, some $9,500 nag comes from dead last at the 3/4 post to win by seven lenghts. Some new horse owner, whose relative was sentenced in the Alaska senator's trial for taking bribes to build a bridge to nowhere, packs his nag up and drives 20 hours to Kentucky, and by golley, he wins! A Hollywood story in the making! Right. Horseracing died when Mine That Bird was not stripped of the title, for having cheated to win.
Sharon Robinson is saying her dad was a pedigree athelete. Because of steroids its hard these days to tell one naturally thick neck from an artifically enhanced one. Owners and league managers see rea$on$ why to turn a blind eye. It is no longer about "the major league" sports being about fielding the best "naturals". All professional sports have turned into professional wrestling … or horseracing. They are just pretending to be naturally phenominal. It is for entertainment purposes only. It is about Hollywood. The names of the characters are ficticious, and any resemblance to anyone real, living or dead, is only coincidental.

I think what people like P and Stanger are still upset that their Great White Hope Babe Ruth and other whites who played the game before integration are no longer revered because they have been trumped by better black players such as Robinson, Willie Mays, and Bob Gibson.
Besides, had white people back then (and even now) weren't so racist this would've never been an issue now would it?
That said, I think baseball should bring to light all of the great pioneers, black, latino, and asian who first entered the sport.
May 16th, 2009

I think baseball should recognize wife-beater wearing, mayonnaise sandwich eating bloggers who'd attempt to make a racial statement out of an eclipse or a snowstorm.
May 16th, 2009
4:58 pm
Ryder, I guess you conveniently forgot all the great white players after integration. How about mickey mantle, ted williams, sandy koufax, pete rose, mike schmidt, george brett, etc.. etc… etc… All of these arguments come down to the fact that blacks will always need a crutch. They will always wine and cry and claim they have been shortchanged. Not enough black players in major league baseball because of some white man conspiracy blah… blah… blah… Just can't except the fact that baseball is a sport that whites excel in and that blacks seem to be declining in for whatever reason. Just the facts. Blacks are better at football and basketball and I have no problems excepting that truth. Blacks have to be the most paranoid and insecure race on planet earth.

You know that White American numbers have went down in major league baseball too. It's because the game is so international now. Latins, Asians, and even Australians are on major league rosters now.
Also one thing a lot of people are forgetting look at all of the minority managers that baseball has. There are 10 out of 30 managers that are some sort of minority. Hell the manager in Seattle is Asian! That to me is a great thing as it shows everyone is getting a chance. Also there is an assistant general manager for the Dodgers that is an Asian female and in the next 5 years she will be the first female general manager in all of sports. You can accuse Major League Baseball of a lot of things but not being equal opportunity is not one of them. Both managers in Texas are African American, I guarrantee you won't see both NFL franchises in Texas with black managers or head coaches.

Are you serious? Do you live in Atlanta? Greg Maddux and Chipper Jones are each regarded as two of the best who ever pitched and played 3rd base and I'm pretty sure they are white.
May 16th, 2009
10:15 pm
When are you guys going to get tough on major leaguers about the use of tobacco? It's so hippocritical of baseball to allow Jeff Bennett, Chipper Jones and others to have this obvious blob of crap in their mouth and do nothing about it. All the while thousands of kids see that on TV and want to do the same. Also all the while they "ban" steroids. Another reason Jackie would be disappointed. Or did he chew also? I'm sick of watching it.

Hey Schultz, How come you took down my post & left bravehater's up? Same old double standard I suppose.
Pro baseball is about the sorriest sport there is anyway. Spit, scratch,adjust,step out of the box. I'd rather watch a curling match. I mean there is absolutely no strike zone.
The only pro sport fit to watch is golf.
I'd rather watch any Tech or Ga game or any college game than the Super Bowl, World Series or NBA championship anyday.

Why is the theme racist now. Its not about who has the best players white or black. Also I have to call out the people who said that the rookie of the year was mediocre (LMAO). You really must be hallucinating. For your eyes I have posted the info for you to tell me who was mediocre. Maybe it was your baseball career that was just that. I am willing to bet that if you and I play even after having rotator cuff surgery, that you would not put up the numbers that I put up. Yes I am challenging any racist be it black or white to a game of baseball. I re-deploy to the states in December so we can play. Maybe we can get the Braves be the judge sort of like a reality show or something. I can see the headlines. A 33 year old Army Officer goes against some racist who said Jackie Robinson was mediocre. The winner gets a 10 day contract with the Braves. Hint.. you dont stand a chance against me, trust me, and I am a black man of exceptional talent and brains.
Apart from his cultural impact, Robinson had an exceptional baseball career. He played on six World Series teams, including a World Championship with the Dodgers in 1955. He was also selected for six consecutive All-Star Games from 1949 to 1954,[5] was the recipient the inaugural MLB Rookie of the Year Award in 1947, and won the National League MVP Award in 1949 – the first black player so honored.[6] Robinson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962.

Yogi had the glove down and the ball. Jackie was out.

We need more AfAms in baseball – they make it fun with speed and athleticism and just the fun of being out there. We need more EuroAms in basketball for their toughness and defense (think Laimbeer and Ainge). Why this polarization has occurred is a complete mystery to me. I hope it fixes itself. Hockey died when they tinkered with the rules – auto racing was already dead for the same reason – and baseball could die from just being too boring (no defense, no small ball, no brains).

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Information and Resources
Baby, It's Cold Outside
Tips to pick the warmest bedding. Plus, the GH Research Institute tests the latest flannels
Find Your Comforter Zone
Best for: Very cold climates
Cost*: $239 to $600 (the most expensive are the lightest and fluffiest)
What to look for on the package: A 100 percent cotton cover with a thread count of 300 or more. The higher the count, the less likely it is that down clusters will poke through. Prewashed fill: People often believe they're allergic to down, but it's really the dirt and dust trapped within the fill that triggers a reaction.
Care: Protect with a duvet cover. Machine wash the comforter yearly, more often if needed. Tumble dry (add cotton sneakers to prevent clumping).
Best for: People who overheat under warm covers and wake up feeling sweaty. Wool wicks away moisture, so you cool off naturally.
Cost*: $200 to $300
What to look for on the package: A cover with a high thread count (300 or more). A tight weave prevents the wool fibers from protruding. (People aren't usually allergic to wool—just irritated by the abrasive texture.) A cover that is washable—otherwise, you'll have to spend a lot on dry cleaning.
Care: See instructions for down fill, above.
Best for: People who have allergies or asthma. The fill is naturally hypoallergenic and inhospitable to dust mites.
Cost*: $369 to $800 (grade-A, long-staple silk is the most durable and the priciest)
What to look for on the package: A cover with a thread count of 300 or more The tight weave will protect the silk so it lasts longer.
Care: Use a duvet cover. Dry-clean at least once a year, more often if needed.
Best for: The budget-conscious. This affordable synthetic option is made of microfiber polyester. It's almost as warm as down, but it's also heavier.
Cost*: $149 to $250
What to look for on the package: Large stitched squares (at least 12 inches square). The bigger the individual sections, the more space there is for air to circulate through the fill and the fluffier your comforter will feel. (Packaging may refer to sections as baffle squares.)
Care: Machine wash and tumble dry as needed. Bonus: This fill holds up well in repeated cycles.
*Standard price range for a queen-size comforter
Problem-Solver Sheets
If you're a fan of flannel but hate the unsightly fuzz balls that form after a few washings, try Lands' End Supima Ultimate 6-oz. Flannel Bedding ($149 for queen set; $169 for king set). These linens maintained a soft, pill-free surface in our evaluation—even after five spins through a washer and dryer.
If it's wrinkles that drive you crazy, check out Lands' End 400 Thread Count No-Iron Supima Cotton Sateen Sheets ($79 to $189 per set, for sizes twin through California king). In our tests, the bedding came out almost completely crease-free, thanks to a wrinkle-resistant finish. A less expensive winner: Wamsutta 300 Wrinkle Free Sheets ($30 to $80 per set, for sizes twin through California king).

Prior to starting York Capital, Dinan worked at DLJ for two years, and in merger-arbitrage at Kellner DiLeo. Outlined below are some of the buys and sells that York Capital made during the first quarter that I found interesting (check out York's more »
This Stock Is Now Firing on All Cylinders
By Alex Gray - May 23, 2013 | Tickers: CLMT, MDU, VMC
Shares of MDU Resources (NYSE: MDU) have been relatively stagnant since recovering from the huge drops experienced in late 2008 and early 2009. However, 2013 has been a different story. The company's shares have been up as much as 27.5% this year.

The coming infrastructure boom
By Todd Peterson - April 23, 2013 | Tickers: ACM, JEC, STRL, TPC, URS, VMC
If there is a common thread in the history of America's growth to global economic dominance in the 20th century, it is the story of our collective investment in a public infrastructure. This era saw massive investment in public roads, public water and wastewater systems, urban public transit systems, aviation, ports, energy, and the schools to develop and maintain a skilled labor force. One might observe that this more »
A Solid Income Growth Pick for your Portfolio
By Piyush Arora - April 4, 2013 | Tickers: FAST, MAS, VMC
Home constructions in the US have reached to their 4-year high levels, and the monthly liquidity injections are expected to further contribute to infrastructure development. Naturally, investing in REITs comes as an obvious choice but their rising prepayment rates and narrowing spreads are straining their profitability, and encouraging them to further leverage their operations. To take advantage of the residential infrastructural development, investors should stick to general building providers, which more »
Construction Materials Are For Later
By Nihar Patel - March 15, 2013 | Tickers: EXP, MLM, VMC
Producers of the material that we use to build our fancy civilizations might not be having the easiest time. Growth is up, but construction and building activities are still in a depressed state. That is not surprising since the last meltdown was focused around construction, housing et al., and the financial markets. You have the government and the Fed rushing to help financials line their pockets, but who remembers the more »

I don't like "noise". I try to avoid it whenever / wherever I can.
Yep , call me what you want, but I'm a "retail investor". I know this to be true because everyone (and I mean Everyone) is always trying to sell me something. This means high decibels and lots and lots of BOLD PRINT.

A trust connected to Sean Foley has bought 1,000 shares, at prices of about $56.50, while an LLC related to Bernard Lanigan Jr. added 10,000 shares at similar prices. Studies show that insider purchases tend to be bullish signals (read more about studies on insider more »
Southeastern Asset Management Stonewalls Vulcan Materials
By Marshall Hargrave - February 6, 2013 | Tickers: MLM, TXI, VMC
In late January, Southeastern Asset Management announced that it has further downsized its Vulcan Materials (NYSE: VMC) position by 16%. Southeastern now owns 8.26 million shares, or 6.4%, of Vulcan. This is a big change from Southeastern's third quarter investing thesis, where the firm had Vulcan as its fifteenth largest 13F holding and owned over 12.1 million shares (read more about it here).

Shiver Me Timbers! "Log" These Companies in Your Portfolio
By Michael Ugulini - January 29, 2013 | Tickers: PCL, RYN, VMC
Today, as an investor, do you have the proverbial intestinal fortitude to invest in an industry sector that depends on the housing and even still the publishing industry to some extent? It's not to say that Plum Creek Timber (NYSE: PCL) and those of its ilk can't get along with advancing their businesses somewhat when there's trouble in these sectors. However, it's infinitely more difficult and more »
Investing in Cement and Mexican Growth
By Joshua Bondy - January 14, 2013 | Tickers: CX, EXP, LFRGY.PK, VMC
In the never ending search for growth, international opportunities are a great way to expand your investment horizon. Sadly growth and profitability do not walk hand in hand. Mexico continues to grow, but Cemex's earnings have not followed the same path. Cemex S.A. B de C.V. (NYSE: CX) is a world leader in cement, but after the U.S. housing crash and the subsequent financial crisis they more »

Raw Materials For the Housing Resurrection
By Nihar Patel - December 26, 2012 | Tickers: EXP, MLM, VMC
People who know me are aware that I like simplicity. Basic materials that are grown, harvested, or extracted are so easy to understand. I consider more complex technical things as well, but I always like to look at the companies that supply the materials that make up our lives. After looking at companies as investments for so long, sometimes I just come to the realization that every company out there more »

Enabling Discovery: Key HPC Technologies and Trends
Gregory Reiff
As High Performance Computing systems become more powerful they drive more discovery. From both academic and commercial perspectives, come hear the trends and technologies that Intel sees as important for transitioning from Terascale to Petascale to Exascale computing.
GPU Computing, The Third Wave of High Performance Computing
Marc Hamilton
Modern day high performance computing has been driven by three major trends over the last 10 years. The first was the broad adoption of x86 clusters running Linux which started to dominate the HPC landscape last decade. The second was the broad adoption of multi-core x86 processors and low latency infiniband networking which started about five years ago. Today we are entering an inflection point with the third wave of industry standard HPC computing. While GPUs today power 4 of the top 5 supercomputers in the world, GPUs aren't just for the world's elite supercomputer centers. Driven by new software technologies including CUDA and OpenCL, GPUs are power HPC for the masses, bring new levels of HPC affordability across the entire range of supercomputer, delivering for the first time over a teraflop of performance per rack unit and scaling to the world's most power efficient production supercomputers.

The Justice Department is investigating whether Las Vegas Sands Corp., owned by high-profile Republican donor Sheldon Adelson, broke federal law by failing to report millions of dollars of potentially laundered money transferred to its casinos by two high-rolling Las Vegas gamblers, according to the Wall Street Journal.
This is so rife with intimidation by a federal agency. Beware that if you are a public supporter of Romney you will be persecuted, and if Obama wins it will only get worse. The IRS, EPA, etc are the ultimate way to destroy the individual who stands apart.

Any time I visit a town, I scope out via online, the restaurants that I think I would enjoy before I go. After Jay Glaw told me that in Seoul there was an all you can eat BBQ buffet, I have been craving a restaurant like that.
Come to find out Las Vegas has a Korean BBQ Buffet, Sura Korean BBQ. (I'm hoping that Orlando catches up and has one too!) As you may have read in another blog, I had attended the conference in Las Vegas. I promised myself that I had to go to Sura Korean BBQ, if it was the only thing I did (other than attend the conference biz)!
I was already excited before I entered the restaurant. My cousin who lives in Vegas was psyched on going as well. I love introducing new things to people I love. So it made it all the more fun.
When we got there everyone was so friendly. They greeted us and we were seated right away in a booth with our own burner in the center. I liked the colors of the restaurant. It was dark color schemes, yet it made it modern and intimate.
Of course we were hungry I think I was dreaming of Kalbi and Bulgogi, so I headed over to the Buffet area. It was a HUGE selection! I think I could have grilled all the meat there. There was a variety of delicious side dishes, A Soup and a dessert section too. My cousin and I were in Food heaven! The meat was well marinated. Even though I wanted to pile on all the meat My eyes could consume, I held back and grilled a bit a time. I got to taste the chicken, the shrimp, the scallops, and of course the short ribs, beef and pork. ( Stops writing to reminisce)
The staff would come and check on us and change the grill. I wish I had a bigger stmach I would be there all night, and it was apparent when we were paying and the Owner said " You are done already?" oh yeah we had the pleasure to meet and talk with the owner. She is one charming woman, and a great storyteller too. My cousin and I felt like we made a friend.
I'll definitely come back when I am back in Las Vegas, which I hope is soon!

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) – Identity thieves are targeting Wausau residents more than ever this year, police say.
Wausau police have reported at least 40 identity theft cases this year and officials say they are on track to break last year's total of 200 cases. By comparison, the department responded to just four identity theft cases in 1995, said Captain Greg Hagenbucher. He said police receive an identity theft case at least once every three days.
A majority of the cases involve thieves using a victim's credit card number, according to police department records. Victims have also reported cases where thieves used their identities to withdraw money from a bank, open a loan, get cable and even receive medical care at the hospital.
"Everybody's a potential victim because everybody's got a Social Security number, a birthday and a name," Hagenbucher said. "You're a potential victim if you're just out there."
Police say you can protect your identity by not carrying your Social Security card in your wallet and keeping an eye on your credit cards when you are at a store. Hagenbucher also recommends closely reviewing your bank statements and to do business with someone you trust.
If your identity is stolen, report it to the police immediately. Wausau police will take a report if any element of the crime happened in the city, Hagenbucher said. Police also forward every identity theft case to the FBI.
You should also report the crime directly to the FBI through its Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov. Police say you should then begin the process of canceling credit cards, notifying banks and other creditors.

HELLO! Thanks for peeking at my site. I'm a freelance graphic designer, illustrator, and mixed-media collage artist living in Minneapolis, MN. I offer custom art, design, illustration, and creative consultation for all your hopes and dreams. Heck, you could even ask me how to arrange your living room and I'd probably get excited about.
My style is influenced by the old and inspired by the new. I am drawn to vintage ephemera, and old pieces that have a lived-in quality. I am energized and always seeking out new experiences, people, places, and foods. My design style is broad but I tend to lean towards illustrative, clean, and simple marks. I get jazzed about analog design, using my hands to style 3D solutions for print and digital platforms. My studio art is of the quirky, playful, and graphic nature; I'm drawn to light imagery, layering pieces with paper, acrylics, watercolor, and accenting them with hand-stitching and illustration. Check out my ART page for more details and crazy pictures, there's a lot, don't get lost. And if you do, take a left at the bridge.
I'm also a nerd for hand-lettering and I'm always experimenting with new shapes and compositions with letters, check out my 2014 Instagram project #letteringthedays. When not creating on canvas or screen, I love any good thrift store, antique shop, or garage sale. I'm an avid runner and delight in devouring sweet books, movies, and french fries (but not while running).
I'm available for new freelance design, illustration, and art opportunities. Feel free to shoot me an email or and/emoji and let's discuss.
Or email email@example.com

Title: Stare
Date: July 2013
Location: London, England
After I took this photo, only later did I realize that there were different sections of the photo where it was different. That was why I separate it into sections to capture the individuality of the photograph. Such as the section on the left where guy watched me as I took photograph. Only later did I realize that he and his father were wearing similar outfits, different colors.
Title: Tunnel
Date: July 2013
Location: London, England
I love walkway tunnels under bridges. Not the scary kind, the kind where there are always something underneath like shops and where people are always walking rushly.
Title: 221b, Baker Street
Date: July 2013
Location: Sherlock Holmes House, London, England
I took this as a mistake, once I arrived at Baker Street, I was trying really hard to find where was Sherlock's house/museum. Then I notice a really tiny sign that showed me the way.
Title: Iftahai Simsim (Open Sesame)
Date: July 2013
Location: London, England
Before I took this photo, I always wanted to see the tower bridge open and capture the moment. So apparently I did my research online and there was a schedule where it says what days and time it will open and so happen the day I checked it was going to open. So I packed up my things and went to visit the dear old beautiful bridge.
When I arrived at the bridge, first thing I noticed was the vibrant painting colors of the bridge; Dark blue, Gold, Sky Blue and Red; and all the details in the bridge. I have a love for architecture too, so I did take my time to look at the details. But as I noticed the time, I had only 15 minutes left until the bridge will open and I was still at the other end of it.
So I continued to walk until I reached the middle of the bridge where it would open and I was both amazed and a bit freaked out that I was standing in the middle of the bridge where it was going to open. I found a perfect empty spot, exactly at the corner of the edge where the bridge would open, I was near the entrance of a small the bridge museum I think. No idea that there was one there next to me.
I was surprised that at only a 3 minutes left people were still walking as I knew they didn't know the bridge was going to open soon.
Having the perfect spot and when it was time for the bridge to open, I sat in awe as that's one thing marked out my bucket list and captured the moment to preserve it.
