Sgt. Maj. Marion L. Hammerschmidt Jr. relinquished the role of Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron (HMLA) 269 sergeant major during a relief and appointment ceremony at the squadron's hangar aboard Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) New River, Feb. 13.
Hammerschmidt took the helm as the senior enlisted advisor in 2012. During his time, he has empowered staff noncommissioned officers (SNCOs) and mentored the NCOs, said Lt. Col. Alex K. Fulford, HMLA-269 commanding officer.
"He has taken care of the Marines and ensured that the squadron succeeded," Fulford continued. "Thirty-four Marines (in our squadron) have been meritoriously promoted since he came here. Ten Marines have gotten either Marine of the Quarter or NCO of the Quarter."
While the commanding officer and many of his fellow leaders attribute the decline in disciplinary issues and the surge of positive behavior in the squadron to Hammerschmidt's leadership, the sergeant major accredits the Marines under him.
"I have a medal stuck to my chest for your accomplishments," he told the Marines, alluding to the Meritorious Service Medal the commanding officer pinned on him moments before.
The Marines of the squadron demonstrated their professionalism time and again, said Hammerschmidt, to include executing the relief and appointment ceremony. The air station closed to non-essential personnel during the normal work day on Feb. 11, and remained closed all day on Feb. 12, but the Marines came in at 6 a.m. the day of the ceremony to practice and prepare.
"You hard work and dedication is evident," said in-coming Sgt. Maj. Lynnette C. Marr-Gaye. "I am dedicated to the mission and taking care of the Marines."
Marr-Gaye came to MCAS New River from Ordnance Maintenance Company, 1st Maintenance Battalion, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif. Marr-Gaye joined the Marine Corps in 1994 as a motor transportation specialist lateral moving to become an aviation supply specialist as a corporal.

Plummeting temperatures and increasing winds have taken root again in the Midwest while a winter storm expected to settle into the Southeast means airline flight cancelations abound in the region today.
Delta spokeswoman Betsy Talton says that 1,850 flights have been canceled system-wide.
Southwest Airlines spokesman Brad Hawkins says about 360 scheduled departures have been canceled system-wide.
Forecasters predict snow and ice from Texas to the Carolinas by mid-week as precipitation moving in from the south meets with cold air already chilling the region. Much of Georgia is under a winter storm watch. Forecasters say the biggest issue isn't snow, but the ice potential.
In the Midwest, sub-zero temperatures and colder wind chills are keeping even the hardiest people indoors. Weather forecasters warn that the minus 30 to minus 40 degree wind chills can cause frostbite in minutes on exposed skin.

Better medications have made it easier to take care of coronary artery disease in recent years. Two in particular, beta-blockers and statins, have helped many people stay healthy and avoid heart attacks.
Beta-blockers are among the most commonly used drugs for controlling high blood pressure and improving blood flow to the heart. They slow the heart rate, lower blood pressure, and decrease the amount of work the heart must do. By lowering the heart's oxygen needs, beta-blockers may help prevent or relieve poor blood flow.
Beta-blockers can cause side effects such as decreased sexual ability and fatigue in some patients. People with asthma, heart disease, or diabetes should be cautious about taking them because they can worsen these conditions. Newer beta-blockers, however, are less likely to cause side effects.
Statins are the most frequently prescribed type of cholesterol-lowering drugs. They block a key liver enzyme involved in cholesterol production. This helps restrict the amount of cholesterol that can be deposited into the blood. It also increases the amount of LDL, or "bad," cholesterol that can be removed from the blood. Studies have shown that people who use statins have a reduced risk for heart attack, stroke, chest pain, and death from a heart-related condition.
Statins have few known side effects, but in rare cases they can damage the liver and muscles. Statins can also make people drowsy, constipated, or nauseous, although these side effects are uncommon. One plus is that these drugs do not appear to interfere with the other medications that people with heart disease often take. And they require only a single daily dose.
Talk with your health care provider if you have questions about either of these types of medication.

judgeing by the dividend they arent in it for the shareholder either.
You pay the most for the best, oracle doesn't cut corners in service …you just have to be willing to dish out the extra bucks to compensate for that.
Not enough competition in the market and CIOs are partly to blame for their insistence on standardizing on a platform. That just plays into the vendor's paws. My company uses Oracle's PeopleSoft for payroll and financials and it is a crock of s**t, IMO.
I am extremely happy to state that we are a Microsoft shop completely … moving away from being an IBM shop. When we had the option, we chose Microsoft over both Oracle and SAP. Glad we didn't choose Oracle – complex software, nightmare customer service, and heavy-handed dealings from their corporate.
Well, was it not the WSJ that was cheerleading Oracle's takeover of competitors. Oracle's agenda was very clear:
1. Eliminate competition
2. Kill innovation
3. Bleed customers dry
Have private conversations with Oracle Employees & Consultants.. they call their customers such names, that 'muppet' would be a salutation.
Fortunately, there are other viable alternatives emerging, such as Workday, Salesforce & Guidewire.
The only thing Oracle is good for is ERP. Outside of that they fall horribly short and look like just another corporation putting their profits over their clients. It's only because of the name that they have any play with PeopleSoft. I'm reminded of the story "The Kings Wardrobe" and seeing many CIOs being the kings with no real idea that they are running around naked!
Have you looked at Infor, third largest ERP provider after Oracle and SAP. They charge 20% maintenance, invest heavily in their ERP solutions and are growing 27% per year. Infor provides a steady stream of upgrades and attends the many user groups to hear feedback on how they can inforporate customer feedback into their products. Infor is a $3B company and is in it for the long term and does one thing: ERP.
I may have some sympathy for novice customers told by consultants to buy oracle licenses and then only later on realizing how much of a financial commitment they've made….otherwise, anyone who has any prior history with oracle knows that oracles reputation includes high prices and regular fork loads of cash. And, there are many cases where that is warranted and there is a reasonable exchange of value for the cash spent.
For most businesses, however, avoiding oracle should be a key part of it policy – especially small businesses. On the database side, most tech companies can get by with support contracts for open source software, such as postgresql which mimics much of the oracle functionality. Non tech companies may be more comfortable with microsoft based software…which isn't cheap, but likely more within their budget.
I am ashtonished. Customers are first and try to reduce thier cost so that they can come back to you. Pricing startegy must be relooked by the team who are close to customers.
Oracle has sharply reduced investment in its legacy products because it's reallocating those resources to Fusion. Mind you, Fusion — which by industry standards is anything but lean now — doesn't really need the additional resources. However there's no way to convince either the sales force or customers that Fusion is better that what they already have if the legacy products stay current. Given many of the continuing delays and rather significant quality issues with Fusion — let alone the lack of verticals — this puts the installed base very much at risk.
As Safra Catz said on the last earnings call, Oracle has a lot of "leverage" in their business model. They do have room to cut costs significantly (and frankly they may as well). The improving macro-economic trends may also continue to bolster their top line for a while. These factors will protect their operating margins. However the productivity of their product development processes — almost across their entire catalog — is far below that of their competitors. If they can't get those processes to perform better, then expect Oracle to do more big acquisitions or become a significantly smaller company in five years.
I decide and buy computers where I work (Fortune 500 company). Sun had an excellent relationship with the corporation. The corporation had a lucrative reseller agreement with Sun which benefited the company and the companies customers. Anything I needed I could get the same day or the next. Since Oracle took over, all gone. It takes a month to order a part. Maintenance is abysmal to manage. TCO has doubled. Fortunately, I am in a position where I can and am engineering Oracle out of the picture. I've elected to go elsewhere for goods and services to save the corporation money. This is a sad state of affairs since I am a long time Oracle stock holder.
"And all grousing aside, its customers aren't going anywhere, in part because they don't feel like they have more appealing alternatives, and because the software is considered reliable."
Oracle database license is the single-most major Revenue earner for Oracle. I presume more more than 80% of the Oracle Databases installations are NOT VLDB (very large Database).. Having said that, most Database SW available today are comparably capable vis-a-vis Oracle, when it comes to these database installations. Still, for years End users have not moved out these databases from say Oracle to SybaseASE, DB2, MS-SQL… Why ? I would say, it's due to the ever increasing tendency of "Living in the Comfort Zone".
So, why blame Oracle? There are other IT product vendors who has monopoly in the market for a specific product, exhibit the same tendency as Oracle.
We won't explore and adopt alternative & then blame Oracle for it's Monopoly & it's wish to make money for it's investors.
Consider a scenario where over the next year or so, half (or even one third) of these 80% Database move to SybaseASE, DB2, MS-SQL (It takes lots of effort & some money too) — But in the end, will Oracle still be able to demand the same UN-abashed Premium from you ?
It's probably time to start blaming yourself than to lament on Oracle's supposedly evil practices
And I wonder how many people still love using Internet Explorer 6, Windows Mobile 2003, and Windows 2000.
Come on people… we all know there's real value in upgrading to new versions. Since when was "innovation" a bad word in the Tech industry?!
We had such trouble with Oracle when we implemented their eProcurement module. Very heavy handed tactics from them and crappy support service. In the end our CIO determined we had to move off the platform as the price performance ratio was a disaster. We moved over to Mikrofax eProcurement eBuyerAssist Solution which when compared to Oracle has 90% of the functionality for 10% of the cost plus first class US based support 24/7 and we couldn't be happier.
Give me a break…this is news? SAP customers have the same problems with its maintenance fees that Oracle customers do with theirs.
Sure, you can go with an off-brand smaller solution, but if you are a large company and want a truly integrated ERP system with lots of bells and whistles–you've basically got two choices.
SAP and Oracle aren't going to lower their maintenance fees, until a viable third alternative shows up and starts taking market share.
This article gets it right. It doesn't matter whether the maintenance fees are 20%, 22% or even more, software licensees aren't receiving a fair value in return. The point of the article is that customers aren't happy with Oracle product roadmap for existing products as Oracle has shifted its focus to a future platform strategy. I hear this every day.
@Andy Klee – Yes, both SAP and Oracle have the same issue. But while 22% fees are old news, the new news is that customers are finally realizing new releases don't have an ROI (see pdf link in article).
Third party support can help companies avoid all this – run current releases 10+ years, half the maintenance fees, no forced upgrades just to stay supported.
Things are slowly changing though, and with SQL Server 2012 launch there is a now a strogn alternative to Oracle. CIOs past decisions are indeed part of the problem, yet the same CIOs are part of the solution as well. What it takes to make the change are really what I call "bilingual DBAs", IT professionals that can "speak" both Oracle and SQL Server and who can provide informed advice to CIOs on adopting new technologies that keep companies competitive without draining IT budgets. here is something the DBAs can do help themselves and their companies: watch http://bit.ly/DBAgold and join us at http://linkd.in/thenewDBA
well there are a lot of people that work for ORACAL and my dad is one of them and we are the average MIDLE CLASS famaly my dad dosent get payed near as much as he should he work extra hours sometimes gets up at 1:00 in the morning to start working an he made a tool to help get things done quicker we dont have a big fancy house or drive fancy car we havent gone on vacation since I was five and I am therteen now you souldnt gripe at the whole company you need to gripe at the top guy with the big fancy house and fancy cars.

Mizuno MLB Ambassador of the Week: Chad Billingsley
by Mizuno USA on April 20, 2011 | 0 COMMENTS
Prior to Sunday's series finale with the red-hot St. Louis Cardinals, Mizuno Brand Ambassador Chad Billingsley was tasked with being the "stopper" for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Billingsley stepped up to the challenge and fired eight scoreless innings against the Redbirds, allowing just two hits and striking out 11 hitters in the process. The Dodgers were unable to score any runs until the bottom of the ninth inning, so Billingsley was left with a no-decision, but this was clearly his best performance of the season. Billingsley plays with the Mizuno Pro Limited Ball Glove, and wears Mizuno's 9-Spike Cleated Footwear. Congratulations Chad!

yay for crazy days! :P
Remember, I OWN NOBODY! :D
The Next Day...
Mikey's POV.
I was woken up by the phone ringing in my ear. I went to answer it, but when I read the caller ID, I stopped. "SOMEONE GET THE PHONE!!" I called downstairs.
"Why would the police station have to call the house...they know nobody's here since I'm 'on the run' I guess..."
Frank's POV.
I groaned and opened my eyes. I got off the couch and ambled over to the stupid ringing phone. I picked it up, "Hullo..." Gerard's voice came to my ear, and I woke up a considerable amount faster. "Frank?" I yawned, "Yeah?" "I need your help, now." I could hear something weird in his voice, "Why? What's wrong?" "They're trying to do me in for that damn fire." I had a puzzled look on my face, "But...wait..." Ray quickly took the phone from me before I said anything, "Gerard what's wrong?" He mouthed 'idiot' to me. I shrugged and sat down.
Gerard's POV.
I heard Ray answer the phone, seeing as Frank was about to give me away because the stupid police were listening in. God, idiot. I mentally sighed with relief. "They're trying to pin the fire on me." I was trying to contain my composure, but I kept getting more and more nervous. "Why? What did you do?" Thank you god, Ray was smart! YAY FOR RAY! "I don't know, they think it was me." "Well, that's dumb. They have no evidence except that you were there that day. Plus, that fire took hours to put out, so obviously you ran down there because you heard it was on fire, and your BROTHER was in there." I was so happy, thank you god for having smart friends. "Yeah, I know but they won't believe me." "Well you can tell the police that you have three people backing you up! We all know it's true, and we all would've been there, but unfortunately we were elsewhere in the state."
Ray's POV.
Stupid ass police. We don't need Gerard in jail, that will NOT help Mikey. He's currently hiding in his room because of all this. Stupid police. After a little while longer on the phone Gerard said his goodbyes and that he would be home within the hour. Once again, STUPID POLICE.
Day 39
Mikey's POV.
Gerard was back, and I was happy about that. Don't get me wrong, I was frikkin ecstatic! But still, I was down. It's hard to explain. It just sucked, much like the rest of my life. But then something changed that night, I heard a crash coming from downstairs. I looked up and carefully made my way downstairs. My mouth dropped when I saw what had happened. "No..."
"This can't be happening. It's not possible...no..."
Such a mean cliffhanger, I know. I'm sorry, but I have to go now. :( I'll be back though! Reviews are nice!! :] Treats for reviewers!! :D

Montpellier is one of France's fastest growing city, as people flock to the city, located just a few short miles from the Mediterranean Sea. In recent times, Montpellier has become the toast of the international jet set, wonderfully chic yet with a wonderfully impressive, ancient centre which provides the city with a wonderfully striking heart.
Montpellier is an amazing city of contrasts, which makes it a pleasure to explore. Chic, vibrant bars nestle in-between ornate villas and elaborate gardens, while the renovation of the city has seen elegantly modern attractions like the Opera House. There are so many sights to see from a self catering Montpellier property that you are well advised to take a tourist information guide to Montpellier and arrange an itinerary, although there is no end of joy to be taken from simply exploring the town under your own steam. The main shopping streets in Montpellier, the Rue de la Loge, emanates from the vast pedestrianised centre, the Place de la Comedie, and is awash with some of the most exclusive gardens and elegant villas in Montpellier, France. There are many sites worth exploring from a self catering Montpellier property, including the Arc de Triumph, Tour de la Babote, Jardin des Plantes (said to be the oldest botanical gardens in the whole of France) and a whole range of important museums, but as any Montpellier tourist information guide will tell you, the beauty and elegance of the Place de la Comedie is unrivalled.
The Mediterranean coast to the north of Montpellier, France is a huge asset for those staying in self catering Montpellier accommodation. There are many miles of pristine beaches to choose from, whether you are looking for a busy tourist beach awash with water sport facilities or a secluded beach where you can stretch out on the beach in peace, soaking in the atmosphere and basking in the glorious panoramas. The summer jousts in Palavas offer a huge amount of entertainment, and if you are lucky enough to be able to get a self catering Montpellier property during the summer, overlook Palavas at your peril!
There are some wonderful walks to enjoy around Montpellier, with route information available from the Montpellier tourist information offices and any good guide to Montpellier, France. Walks to the Terral Castle, Bocaud Park, Lunaret Zoological Park and the Botanical Garden are among the most rewarding walks to enjoy from Montpellier accommodation, but for serious walkers, there are many, many miles of walking, riding and cycling to enjoy in the surrounding countryside.
The international city of Montpellier is host to a great range of festivals throughout the year, details for which hare available from any Montpellier tourist information centre. The Montpellier International Dance Festival, Radio France Festival, Boreals Festival, Mediterranean Cinema Festival and International Guitar Week all attract a huge crowd.
Montpellier enjoys a blissfully warm climate, which sees the city bathed in sunshine throughout the year. During the long summer months, Montpellier basks in temperatures of well into the mid 30's on most days from May until October, and even in the coldest months, daily temperatures are rarely under 15˚C.
There are a great range of direct, cheap flights to Montpellier Airport (MPL) from across the UK. Both easyJet and Ryanair provide cheap flights to Montpellier Airport from London and with only 5 miles to travel from Montpellier Airport to the centre of town, you can be settling into your self catering Montpellier property rental within just a few short hours of leaving home. Guides to Montpellier Airport will confirm that car hire facilities and bus services to the city centre, (taking just 15 minutes) are readily available.

In education, Finland is usually at the top & the USA near the bottom, but what is the middle or upper middle doing?
Like many other situations we like to focus on the extremes, and although learning from the best is not a bad idea, I would like to learn a little from the pretty darn good.
What are all those countries located in the upper middle area doing to get themselves where they are? Something tells me they aren't just avoiding wat the USA is doing and emulating Finland.
If you can, please share some of your stories and knowledge on what is working for you that other teachers and educators could mull over.

Apr 22 2013: Hi Fritzie,
Thanks for your response and this link. I quickly skimmed it, but I have seen these numbers before.
Rereading my question, I think I should have been clearer. I mean education as a whole, including both as a profession, cultural acceptance, as well as student learning.
Two articles about 'problems' with the American Education system have come across my news feed recently. They are:
Meanwhile, during the last few months Pasi Sahlberg keeps coming back in to my circles (I even bought his book Finnish Lessons http://www.amazon.com/Finnish-Lessons-Educational-Change-Finland/dp/1470826151
In regards to your PISA rankings from the OECD, I am not all that convinced that giving 500,000 15 tear-old students around the world the same test in reading, science and math really measures education and long-term skills. The difference of the top and bottom do not seem too drastic as well. Although I don't like this measure I do like this picture ranking the countries more http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2010/dec/07/world-education-rankings-maths-science-reading
Did I make my question clearer?

Companies may not know exactly what DevOps is yet, but they know they want people with "DevOps" on their resumes. For the last few months, I noted the steady flow of "Wanted: DevOps Engineer" postings floating past on the forums I frequent. While in past presentations I've fought the idea that DevOps is a job title, I'm nearly ready to concede defeat.

QI screens months late in Australia but I still watch it avidly. I am an Aboriginal person and I was hurt when Stephen said an Australian Aboriginal person had described an eclipse of the sun as 'kerosine lamp belong Jesus him buggerup'. Not only is that a cheap and ignorant parody on Pacific Island pidgin languages which no Aborigines speak, it is also part of 200+ years of joking about how dumb and primitive we First Australians are. It was a low jibe and not worthy of you Stephen.

Oh, yes, I liked ripping off the Ukrainian culture to name their children Neubiymebatko which means "Don't kill me father". That was fun! And no one asked why, is it really in Ukrainian culture to kill their children? This name does NOT exist anymore, it should be noticed, what a fault, but Stephen was right. From 1923 to 1933 during man-made famine in Ukraine called the Holodomor (which apparently is compared to Holocaust) and millions of Ukrainians was dying of starvation, the newborn child in a peasant family would mean a new mouth to feed. And a "batko" (father) most likely would decide to kill a child if it was obvious that the child would probably starve to death anyway. Quite a good reason to mock! Well done, why not to mock people suffered other forms of Genocide next time? They also have probably done some "funny" things to safe their lives and their children.

Humour is often used by those who are fairly well informed to make points and educate.
Eddie Izzard is certainly not shy about attempting to open up the eyes of his audience through pretty rough subjects being portrayed through a humourous lens.
The aboriginal comment was at worst a tired old standby of an entertainer, and that all races have been the target or the butt of many jokes. I would take such things as they are intended, a way to get a quick chuckle without meaning any harm.
If a comedian puts a fairly serious topic in a joke or a humourous anecdote, I would assume they are using their medium to shine light on the topic rather than to belittle.
However, you can't please all the people all of the time, and I am sure that infuriates Stephen to no end.

Oh no ! I am absoloutley certain that this show is not in any way meant to offend! It just isn't! I'm glad I am not working out what can and can't be said on this quiz. I'd be devestated continuously if i offended somebody. So easy to get thing a bit wrong or upset someone. It's hard to know absolutely everything all the time and take full responsibility and whack if it isn't well received. i don't believe for a minute that the intention would be one of malice. It's not on the nature of the quiz, or the participants who take part.

After looking at this topic for a little bit, I think I finally have something to say about it.
To the original poster, I'm sorry that what Mr. Fry said offended you. Coming from a country and even an area where there are still racial tensions and stereotypes, I understand why you would feel that way. I am certain, though, he meant no harm by it.
To be fair to Mr. Fry, I am sure he was just referring to a particular incident and, as aranelthemithra was suggesting, trying to point out that this is a certain racist attitude that may still persist in certain areas of Australia. Or, he found said incident amusing and believed that the viewers would find it amusing too. So, what does one do when they hear a joke they like? They share it with others sometimes without the awareness that it could offend someone in their audience.
Now, if he made a blanket statement claiming that all Aboriginals believe that way, then there might be a slight problem because he just alienated a huge demographic of viewers and rubbed salt in what is still a relatively fresh wound for those viewers.
Personally, I don't find it funny just because I don't completely understand it (then again, I'm American and not especially bright so a lot of foreign humor evades me). That's all I have to say about that, off to class!
That is an excellent question-- I don't know.

Since I always find I'm running out of time to get things done in life, even if someone does make a joke about my race, that upsets me, I simply can't afford the time to be that over sensitive anymore lol.
I believe Cheetahs to be the speed police of the animal world and that if antelopes, were bright enough to pull over and stop when chased, they might not get eaten.

It seems to me, (but of course I may be wrong), that if someone, anyone, makes a remark about a person or culture, you have the choice of being offended or not being offended. I've found the best approach is to not laugh and ignore jokes that are not funny to me....like YOUR MOMMA'S SOOOOO FAT>>>>>>>I just hate those!
As you slide down the banister of life hope all the splinters face the right direction...Be who you are for the ones that matter don't mind and the ones who mind don't matter.

Tag Team Application.
Members: Me (Mr Malaka w/ Heartburn) Henry243 (The Veterinarian w/ Rex Banner)
Team Name: The Fuckhead Patrol
Disposition: Heel
Entrance Music:
Other Info: Tag team constituent superstars are extremely mentally volatile, and possibly Bi Polar. If superstars are reprimanded for their actions or if there are too many 2 counts, The fuckhead patrol is likely to suffer from a complete nervous breakdown.
If they lose the match completely they will often attempt to commit suicide, anyone trying to talk them out of it or console them will result in Heartburn and Rex Banner seeing them as a Physical threat to The Fuckhead Patrol and Viciously attack them. Once the managers start attacking Mr Malaka and The Veterinarian join in on the attack on any and all officials and cameramen.
At this time or at any other random times, any of these 4 superstars will attack each other or even themselves.
Auditory Annihilation - Opponent is put in headlock by Mr Malaka who does his Sonic Boom maneuver in one ear while The Veterinarian uses the Pseudo Dog Whistle in the opponents other ear.
The mime cage - Heartburn starts miming an Imaginary cage outside the ring, the opponent is thrown to the outside by one of The Fuckhead Patrol, Rex Banner will then herd the opponent(s) into the cage which they cannot escape and will be counted out, It is possible to break the cage but only if the other team member can find the key or break it. The cage dissipates after the ten count and the opponents are free.

Dissent (magazine)

Cover of Winter 2013 issue

|Politics, culture
|First issue

Dissent is a quarterly magazine focusing on politics and culture edited by Michael Kazin. The magazine is published by the University of Pennsylvania Press on behalf of the Foundation for the Study of Independent Social Ideas.
The magazine was established in 1954 by a group of New York Intellectuals, which included Irving Howe, Lewis A. Coser, Henry Pachter, Norman Mailer, and Meyer Schapiro. Dissent set out to break "from the bleak atmosphere of conformism that pervades the political and intellectual life of the United States."[2] From its inception, Dissent's politics deviated from the standard ideological positions of the left and right. Like Politics, the New Left Review and the French socialist magazine Socialisme ou Barbarie, Dissent sought to formulate a third position between the liberalism of the West and the communism of the East. Troubled by the rampant bureaucratization of both capitalist and communist society, Dissent was home to writers like C. Wright Mills who identified themselves more as radical democrats as well as to editors who--like Irving Howe and Michael Harrington--more closely identified with democratic socialism. Over its six decades in publication, it has also become one of America's most prestigious venues for social and cultural criticism, publishing political philosophers like Michael Walzer (who was editor of the magazine for four decades), Cornel West, and Iris Marion Young as well as novelists and poets like Gunther Grass and Czeslaw Milosz.[3]
In the 1960s and 1970s, Dissent's skepticism toward Third World revolutions and the culture of the New Left occasionally isolated it from student movements. But its commitment to both pluralist and egalitarian politics — in particular, when it came to social and civil rights issues — separated it from both the mainstream liberalism and the growing neoconservative movement. Although Dissent still identifies with the democratic socialism of its founders, its editors and contributors represent a broad spectrum of Left positions: from the Marxist humanism of Marshall Berman and Leszek Kolakowski to the social democratic visions of Richard Rorty to the radical feminism of Ellen Willis and Seyla Benhabib.[4] More recently, several of its younger editors have identified themselves with both the heterodox Marxism and the horizontalism and visions of radical democracy espoused by Occupy Wall Street.[5][6][7]
Together with the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research, Dissent announced its Archive project. It will be digitizing several short-lived little magazines, including Marxist Perspectives and democracy, and providing access to them online.[8] It also recently launched a labor podcast and introduced a new front of the book section dedicated to publishing cultural criticism.[9][10]

Iris M T.
Home buyer in Kissimmee
Thomas was very professional, and helpful for us. He oriented very well us in all the process explaining each step to be followed. We are from other country and for us was very important to keep informed in how things are done here. Very honest and open communicator. He has everything we need to reach our goal. Thanks Thomas, you are very special for us.
Trevor D.
Home buyer in Orlando
Tom is the best! I am a repeat customer within 4 years that should say it all. He is attentive and very responsive. My wife and I fell in love with our new house and could not wait to move in. Tom must have taken time out of his busy day 10 times to come let us in to show our friends and family. He is very accommodating! I would recommend him to friends and family or anyone looking for an easy home buying experience! Thanks Tom
Previous review from Trevor D.
Tom, went above and beyond in his duties helping me find my dream home. We must have looked at 30 house over a span of 2 months or so, no fault of Tom's, I was just very specific in what I wanted in my first home. No matter how many times I called requesting a showing Tom was very accomadating in making it happen. I did not make it easy, never liking the limited options I had in my price range. Tom remained diligent hard working and cool as cucumber the whole time we worked togeather. Even when my lender did not come through on time Tom was there backing me up, talking to the seller making sure I still was able to close the next week. Being a first time home buyer I really did not expect to find the right home in the right niegborhood for the right price. But Tom made it happen, I would reconmend Tom to any and all, who are looking to have a no nonsence, easy and even fun home buying experiance, he will walk you through all the steps, go the extra mile and try to make your home buying experiance as easy as possible. Thanks, Tom!!!!!

Jeffrey R. C.
Home buyer in Minneola
Tom was great in helping me find my new house. Tom helped guide me through the pit falls of rejected offers, short sales, foreclosures and traditional sales in a turbulent real estate market to the successful conclusion of home ownership. Tom was very efficient in helping me understand the whole house hunting process, from the viewing, making the correct offer for the property, the home inspection, counter offers and to the eventual closing Tom was there for me. I would recommend Tom to any and all my friends and family looking to purchase a home. Tom knows the market and went beyond all my expectations to get me into my new home. Thanks Tom Very much appreciated Jeff Craig

David H.
Home buyer in Kissimmee
Tom has shown that he works for his buyers and not in the interest of getting the biggest commission he can earn. He will advice and work with you until you find that perfect house.
George S.
Home buyer in Orlando
Tom was amazing for us. He seemed to understand right away our needs, the quality we were looking for, and eventually helped us choosing even the mortgage company. We highly recommend him and applaude his efforts.
Previous review from George S.
the best real estate guy on the Orlando market, very pleased with his work, definetely will work wiht him again if i have a chance
Nichelle S. N.
Home buyer in Orlando
Tom was the perfect advisor and a consummate professional. He was prompt, honest, reliable and knowledgeable. His understanding of the local neighborhood and pricing trends was indispensable, and his ability to negotiate on our behalf was directly responsible for helping us close what turned out to be a purchase filled with odd twists and unexpected turns.
Hector T.
Home buyer in Kissimmee
First of all, I'm a spanish speaking person. It was very hard to me to comunicate with Tom in english, but the language was not a barrier. He spent so much time with me to find the appropiate home. Definetively, he is the perfect realtor to those people who want to buy a house. I have no words to describe this guy. I told my home mortgage consultant that Tom is an angel. He guided me through the entire process with patience and dedication. He is an asset to ZIP REALTY. I feel very grateful. Today, a week after the loan closing, I have peace of mind and the best of all, ME AND MY DISABLED DAUGHTER, are enjoying a preety, safe, comfortable and decent home in a very quiet community. Yesterday, I recommended a friend of mine to contact Tom for a house he is looking for. I told Tom he must learn to speak some spanish because, like me, there are many spanish speaking people trying to find a responsible realtor. THANKS MY FRIEND!

Tom was very helpful through my whole first time home buying experience, he was honest and reliable and was there to walk me through every step of the way. You won't find a better agent anywhere..
Brent L. H.
Home buyer in Orlando
My wife and I met with Tom for the first time in about June of 2011 to look at 3 or 4 houses. We were a bit unsure of what to expect of a Realtor, and the house buying process in general, so we were a bit skeptical and moved cautiously. We were not sure that we were getting the information we wanted or needed so we gave another Realtor a try just to have a point of reference in comparison. We found out quickly that Tom was a true professional and we stuck with him for the remainder of the 6-7 months it took to find a house we felt was right. Tom worked tirelessly in helping us find what we wanted, and believe me, we were being picky. He never let us down and always provided credible, knowledgeable answers to our endless questions and needs for "hand-holding". Tom experienced a personal issue that would have derailed most people for at least a short time during our home search, but we never knew of the incident until it was nearly passed, and he never faltered or lost momentum. This is exceptional dedication and professionalism in the face of adversity, and I am sure that he attended to all of his clients in the same manner during this time. Anyone reading this and considering selecting Tom as your Realtor should know that he will give you every minute of time needed and every effort required to ensure you get what you desire. Do not hesitate to put your full faith and home/Real Estate purchase in the capable hands of Thomas Schwartz. We had a tough road to finding our new home, taking nearly seven months before we decided on the one we wanted to make �the� offer on. Newly listed, we had to move quickly, as we were the first to look at this house and we wanted to be able to get �first dibs�. We loved the house, Tom did some feverishly fast work in researching comparable area sales and we had our offer in within three days of the house hitting the market. A bit disappointed that our offer was not accepted, we worked with a counter offer and made a deal! The ensuing 60 days would prove a nearly insurmountable (or so it seemed to us) challenge in getting this thing wrapped up and closed. Many times we were ready to just throw the towel in and walk away, but Tom stood strong and carried us through when it felt like there was no hope. Thank you, Tom!! It is hard to believe it finally happened, and it would not have without your diligence. Sincerely happy customers and proud new homeowners, Brent & Tina Huffman Orlando, FL

Game Recap: Brewers 12, Cubs 6 - the Quitting Continues
I truly love it when Cub fans quit on their team during every rough patch. Rather than beat around the bush, I will directly ask the question that needs to be asked:
What the hell is the matter with you people?
There has never been a team in the history of the game that didn't look like fumbling idiots at least once in a while during a long season. Even the 1906 Cubs - winners of 116 games - had a 2 and 4 stretch early in the season, went 1-4 between May 19th and May 24th and went 2-4 between July 19th and July 24th. And they won 116 games!!! They won more games than any other team in the history of baseball and over the collected span of close to a month of baseball they played like dirt. And if you don't have the stomach to watch a team lose games badly then go follow inter-murals, brother. You'll never experience joy from a baseball season because you're too high strung.
So, let's take a look at today's reason for why people are quitting the team.
Ryan Dempster. 17 game winner. Multi-millionaire. Bad luck pitcher who can't string together wins. Dempster pitched into the 7th today, which is good, he struck out 9, which is better, but he gave up 7 hits and 3 walks which is bad. Consequently he walked away with the loss. But the real story is the bullpen.
Here's the funny thing. I don't think the Cubs pen is actually all that bad. The problem is that they've got two or three guys who really don't belong there and aren't even the best choices to be there to begin with. Those three guys - Neal Cotts, Dave Patton, and Chad Fox, three guys who certainly will not be on the team by the time July rolls around - combined to surrender 6 earned runs. Had that not happened, then the Cubs would actually have had enough offense to possibly win the game.
I mean, really, the Cubs offense was there last night. They scored 6 runs off of 12 hits, including a 5 for 12 night from the 3 members of the Q4 who played. Every regular but Theriot collected at least one hit, and every regular but Soriano and Scales got on base at least twice. The offense was there. The bullpen was not.
So, here's the deal. If you think that pitchers like Chad Fox, Neal Cotts, and Dave Patton will still be around blowing leads into June and July, then you're right. The Cubs are doomed.
If you think that starters Milton Bradley, Geovany Soto, Mike Fontenot, and Derrek Lee will combine to bat below .200 all year long, then you're right. The Cubs won't reach the playoffs.
But since the Cubs won't be using relievers who suck all year long, and since the Q4 are in fact much better than their numbers convey, then I think we can agree that quitting on the Cubs is a pretty stupid take to have.
I've said this before and I'll say it now. If the players quit as easily as some of you do, then you would be outraged. You would be furious. I'm sad to see that some of you don't hold yourselves to the same standard that you'd hold the people actually playing the games.

Game Recap: Brewers 3, Cubs 2
GameCast: May 9th - Cubs vs. Brewers
e-nuf said
[edit] Season summary
The Cubs got off to a poor start after the first two months of the season, posting a 22-29 record going into a home series against the Atlanta Braves during the first weekend after Memorial Day. Derrek Lee led a players only meeting on May 30 attempting to turn around the teams poor performance.[9] On the Friday start at Wrigley, Carlos Zambrano took the mound and the Cubs fell behind 7-1, including allowing five runs (four earned) in the fifth inning.[10] Included in the inning was a passed ball and throwing error by catcher Michael Barrett.[10] An altercation ensued between the pitcher and catcher in the dugout, in full view of the television camera crews.[10] Zambrano was pulled from the game after the scuffle in which he gave up thirteen hits and had zero strikeouts, and Barrett was replaced by backup Koyie Hill.[10]
Going into the last week of the season, the Cubs won ten of twelve games and had a three game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers. However, the Cubs dropped three in a row to the Florida Marlins, a team that the Cubs did not win a single game against during the whole season. Meanwhile, the Brewers lost two out of three, hurting their chance at taking over the top of the division. On September 28, thanks to a Cubs 6-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds and a Brewers 6-3 loss to the San Diego Padres, the Cubs clinched the N.L. Central division.
Thanks to 2007 cubs season Wikipedia
I remember the '07 season.
I remember the '07 season. The day Lou was ejected I wrote that GROTA was about a week away from raising the white flag on the '07 campaign. By the end of the year I concluded that I'd reacted brashly ... and that was a year in which I'd waited until the Cubs had played more than 50 games and were at one point 7 games under .500.
I guess people shouldn't be surprised then when I get ticked because we've got readers who want to quit on them while they're playing with a winning record. Give me a break.
I Agree
That is what I don't like about the "new age" Cub fan, no sense of history. I mean we are only talking about 2 years ago. What would they have done in the 70's when the way the Cub's are playing now was considered promising. Because you knew the minute you quit drinking the blue kool-aid this was a good as it was going to get.
Great Post!
Sorry this comment is a little late, I've been away for a couple days - nonetheless, great post Kurt!! I completely agree 100% with everything you said! Seems to me the Cubs are becoming a 'trendy' team to follow, a la the Red Sox and are attracting the "college frat boy with a backward baseball cap and a pre-frayed brim" fan base. Pre-frayed brims are never good.

Zonxon Noodles: AmerasiaIt can be scary when there's no description on a Chinese menu. Zonxon? What? Just think of this noodle dish as a cousin of the three-way: Thin noodles form the base layer for a hearty chili-like sauce full of ground pork, tofu, lima beans, mushrooms, and carrots. Ground peanuts, bean sprouts, cilantro, and julienned cucumber stand in for cheese. It may not spawn a local chain, but it'll make for a happy lunch. 521 Madison Ave., Suite B, Covington, (859) 261-6121, kungfoodchu.com
Spicy Sizzling Lamb: Sichuan BistroOnions, lamb, and sliced jalapeños arrive on a cast iron server, all smoke and sizzle. You can smell the heat. It touches the back of your throat and the top of your sinuses at the same time, not as insistently as horseradish or wasabi, but with a gentle tickle that builds. The flavor comes through; the smoky fire lingers. The more you eat, the more you can expect to numb: first your tongue, then your lips, then your nose. Order extra rice for a little relief. Sichuan Bistro, 7888 S. Mason Montgomery Rd., Mason, (513) 770-3123, sichuanbistro.com
Portuguese Style Baked Chicken: Raymond's Hong Kong CafeThis dish is a direct result of the western European influence on Hong Kong (which was ruled by the British for many years) and the neighboring island of Macau (which was long governed by the Portuguese). Served in a small casserole dish, it's a literal and figurative melting pot: egg fried rice is the base for baked chicken in a creamy, vegetable-studded, Portuguese-style (that is, mild) curry sauce. It's reminiscent of your mom's old-school chicken and rice casserole, but with a kick. 11051 Clay Dr., Richwood, (859) 485-2828, hongkongcafe.us
Steamed Clams with Black Bean Sauce: Uncle Yip'sThese smallish steamers are a little less flavor-forward than their bivalve cousins, which allows the wonderfully earthy, ginger-bright sauce to be the star of the show. It's a shame they don't serve bread for sopping the leftover broth, but a spoon will do nicely. 10736 Reading Rd., Sharonville, (513) 733-8484
Hot and Sour Soup: Oriental WokThe hot and sour soup all others aspire to be. All tang and no bite, a heat that makes itself known but doesn't overpower, and a silky, meaty flavor that calls your name on a chilly day. We'd recommend a seat in the dining room of Mike Wong's original location on Buttermilk Pike, where you can soak up the swank old-school Chinese restaurant atmosphere. Yes, those are carved "tusks" guarding the entry to the dining room. Yes, they do celebrate birthdays with tambourine and gong. Yes, you should see it for yourself. 317 Buttermilk Pike, Ft.

DAILY RUMORS: Kovalchuk to the Predators?
BDGallof | Jun 21, 2010 | Comments 6
We at HockeyIndependent.com want to be your resource and filter for what is going on in the NHL. We try to disseminate the noise in the blogosphere. We don't look to to attack those sources, but to question the veracity of the rumor with cold logic, hockey smarts and knowledge. To do that… we have partnered with the one of the best in the NHL blogosphere….Lyle Richardson of SpectorsHockey.net. Daily Rumors with Lyle Richardson will now be a regular feature on HI this summer and beyond…
In the aftermath of the Nashville Predators trading away Dan Hamhuis and Jason Arnott there's been some talk Predators GM David Poile made those moves to perhaps clear space to pursue a big name free agent star.
Over the weekend The Bleacher Report suggested Poile might target New Jersey Devils winger Ilya Kovalchuk, slated to be the star in this summer's UFA market.
The report suggests the Predators might not be amongst Kovalchuk's preferred destinations but claimed they have the cap space to afford his anticipated salary demands of $7.5-$9 million per season plus have an up-and-coming roster.
Other options might include San Jose's Patrick Marleau, Montreal's Tomas Plekanec or Phoenix's Matthew Lombardi.
What the author of this bit overlooks is the Predators, for their vaunted "cap space" are under a self-imposed cap for next season believed to be between $45-$47 million, meaning the $38.8 million they've currently got committed to 17 players for next season leaves them less than $10 million in cap space, not the $20 million they might have if they could afford to spend up to next season's anticipated cap ceiling.
Furthermore, as noted by The Tennessean, the Predators are more likely to commit their available cap space toward re-signing promising young players like Patric Hornqvist, Cody Fransen and Dustin Boyd.
Having dealt away Hamhuis they'll likely try to re-sign defenseman Denis Grebeshkov, a restricted free agent they acquired at the trade deadline from the Edmonton Oilers, as well as Ryan Parent, whom they received from the Philadelphia Flyers in the Hamhuis deal.
While I'll admit anything's possible I would expect the Predators to stay well under the salary cap, use their available space to retain their young talent, and shun the big names in this summer's UFA market.

"disseminate" isn't the word you wanted to use.
I'm sorry, when did Nashville have $7.5-$9 million per season? They have the cap space, sure.. but they're a cap floor team by nature. Someone didn't do their research, or is oblivious to how Nashville operates. shame really.
Looks like I was wrong about Grebeskov. Poile told The Tennessean today he's not qualifying his rights.

Justin Timberlake appears to have no slight interest in teaming up for the second time with Ben Affleck in the Superman-Batman movie as his sidekick. The singer and actor, who stars alongside the new Bruce Wayne depicter in "Runner, Runner", explains why it is so in an interview with Fresh 102.7 (via Comic Book).
Asked if he wants to portray Robin, JT answers, "Not a chance in hell. I ain't playin' Robin. I have no aspiration to ever be a superhero in a movie. I just don't." But the former NSYNC member reveals there is one Batman-related role that he absolutely says yes to if offered by Warner Bros.
"Now VILLAIN! I'll tell you the villain I want to play more than anything because I grew up loving Batman, funny enough, is the Riddler. The Riddler is my favorite villain," the "In Time" leading man admits. "He was proper crazy. So if I'm gonna play crazy, I wanna play like proper crazy. I'm ready. The Riddler. Gimme a call."
While it is not sure whether or not Warner Bros. will grant his wish, The Wrap learns that Timberlake is now in talks to serve as producer in MGM's remake of "The Idolmaker", which was based on the life of rock promoter/producer Bob Marcucci, who discovered teen idols Frankie Avalon and Fabian among others.
Ryan Gosling, at one point, was secured to star and become a first-time director in the project. However, due to conflicting schedule, he dropped out three weeks later.

You Got This…(?)
Four weeks post-op. No cancer. No girlie parts on the inside. My tummy full of foreign objects is now a cave of emptiness (or so I imagine). I've had 2 follow up Doctor visits and I keep hearing how great I'm doing. I think a doctor's point of view has a much wider contextual range than I do for my own life, and therefore I can consider an evaluation of "great" to be true and motivating, even though I feel like I'll never jog again. My husband has a different view of "great" and he's still counting the weeks as if they were months. The cramming together of a radical hysterectomy along with my firstborn son's college graduation seems like too much to capture, and I'm sure that's the source of my procrastination (and this garbled mess)....Read More
This wasn't in my plan.
We aren't ready for these phone calls, ever. She said, "I took the liberty of making you an appointment at one of the country's top gynecological oncologists and he's going to come in today to see you and you need to be there at 1:00. Here's the address." It was 12:25 and I was pulling into my client's offices for a 1:00 meeting. My body shook and my heart raced. She said the levels on my cancer screen went up again and my case has now become complicated. I'm a complicated case. (Some might say that's not a new condition. I pulled over to breathe and write notes. By the time I arrived at scary-doctor's office I was through the choked up panic, and calmed by my husband's voice. I'm challenged to activate the Trust in God that I profess....Read More
If we only knew
There isn't a precise moment when you can see it happen. Only that he has grown. It's not an abrupt shift, and could possibly only be observed through a time lapse filming, like the BBC's Planet Earth footage of a flower blooming or a sunrise from space. It is as dramatic and beautiful as that, too. Truly the bloom, the explosion, is easy and amazing to see, if we can manage to see it. Sometimes we are hanging around too close to the subject, and we are too myopic or wrongly focused. But when we step back and get a proper look, we see a bigger picture. Last weekend, I was given a stunning portrait of a genuine, brilliant, honorable young man. His college basketball career was coming to an end. He would be celebrated as a graduating senior in the way he'd...Read More
What if we are brave?
If we try to hide our children from controversial content, they may not learn to think for themselves about important issues they'll face throughout their life. If we try to force our own views on them without demonstrating openness to always-new ways of seeing people, we might miss a chance to teach and learn the mightiest of skills ourselves. If we don't teach them a foundation of love and truth because we're uneducated or unsure ourselves about the deepest love and truth, we most definitely will miss the chance to escort our children across the thresholds that we ourselves already crossed.
