Is it possible for both Karl Marx and Ayn Rand to be correct?
Two pop-cultural experiences this week got me thinking; is it possible that both capitalism and socialism have their place in society? Is this what historically maintains economic equilibrium (at least, one theoretical and organic)? We industrialize, followed by a period of economic redistribution and cultural 'flourishing,' and repeat this process.
These two contrasting ideas both had their time in history, and here is pop-culture to prove it: television: socialism, Marx "Do what will make you happy, and don't lie to yourself, the latter of course a main theme of the series. "I always thought that you were very single-minded about your dreams and that that would help you through life," he tells her. "But now I see that you skipped the struggle and went right to the end." "It's not the end, it's the beginning," Megan says. "This apartment, this wealth that someone handed to you," he replies. "This is what Karl Marx was talking about. And it's not because someone else deserves it. It's because it is bad for your soul." "Don't pick at me with your politics because you hate that I love Don," she says. "No, I hate that you give up. Don't let your love for this man stop you from doing what you want to do." -- Mad Men (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2049173/)
literature: capitalism, Rand How to Get a Job on Wall Street: PROVEN WAYS TO LAND A HIGH-PAYING, HIGH-POWERED JOB -- Scott Hoover (http://www.amazon.com/How-Get-Job-Wall-Street/dp/0071778535)
Look at the here and now: we value economic achievement, a capitalist ideal. but on a temporal economic scale, say the 1920s, marxism attempted to redistribute those economic achievements so that people could work less and thrive culturally (marxism was obviously only a consideration in economic policy that would change, at the time, failing capitalism). Many contend that the same is being done now (Obama as changing capitalism). Is there a natural cycle to this?

Feb 13 2013: Karl Marx said, "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.".

On the same subject Ayn Rand said, "The upper classes are merely a nation's past; the middle class is its future."
One despised classes and the other praised them. One thought the people should own nothing, the other thought the government should own nothing.
China today is conducting an experiment. Totalitarian political and social control over sort-of-free enterprise. Torrents of capital fueling a runaway techno/industrial/financial firestorm. Let's watch.
Feb 14 2013: Very poignant. Before China runs amuck, or defeats us all, can we discuss this from a theoretical basis? I hope you will have some things to say now that I have better flushed out my intents in prior replies.
edward long
Feb 14 2013: I say let's watch the Chinese Experiment because we (USA) are too broke to participate. We have become an Indentured State. Would Communism, or its gentler form Socialism, have saved the American Experiment from death-by-debt? I don't think so. I do not see the concept of not spending what you don't have as rocket science. Payback is a bitch. Duh! Usery is a destroyer which The Federal Reserve System has used to amass gargantuan wealth for some while ever-so-surely taking us ignorant, apathetic Americans to the brink of national insolvency and finally into Socialism. No, no, a thousand times no. Ms. Rand and Comrade Marx must never be seated together at the dining table. In fact, invite one or the other, but not both. Together they will disrupt a lovely dinner every time.Feb 13 2013: Ok heres my opinion on marxism (since I've now seen a dozen articles, forum posts, videos and now TEDtopics on this subject within the space of a week)...
- +1
Perhaps no one knows what Marxism is (Thats what the evidence is showing --Just an onslaught of people forever claiming to know what it is whilst simultaniously claiming everyone else doesn't) because Karl Marx's economic positions were either:
1. Disproved with a series of practical applications (Such as specific aspects of Communism, 'Marxism', Socialism and Capitalism) and claimed none of any given characteristics were his because it would demonstrate his failure and he wanted to save face and continue to be known as an intellectual.
2. He couldn't form a coherent structure and definition of a questionable idea, hence why no one knows what it actually is, even generations later.
I'd be willing to bet money that if we could bring Marx back to life and ask him what Marxism was, he would go and study every model in history and present day, claim none of them are in any way like Marxism and then spout a pile of double-speak and incoherence to us all, act like it made sense and then quickly leave the stage..
Just my two cents, somewhat based on continued observations on how when someone popular is disproven and/or unsure, nobody seems to 'understand' or 'get it right'..
Feb 14 2013: Very true. As such, I had hoped people would subscribe to my two proposed, oversimplified and discounted, viewpoints on capitalism and Marxism. So if you are to read:
capitalism--industrialization, wealth
Marxism- economic redistribution and cultural 'flourishing'
then what do you think?

My simple answer would be yes. It is possible for them to both be correct in a society. Right and wrong is a very relative statement. In a sense both have brought a perspective of social order and they both have valid points. If we can blend the two we can come up with something like we have in many Scandinavian countries currently. Socialism for social structures, communism for community structures and capitalism for economic structure. Now my question to you is.... Will all these structures work, if the foundation they are built upon is egocentric in nature and rewards division of reality, over the creation of unity? Agreeing to abide by the current system of monetary laws is creating a paradox of what is reality, in my opinion. Hopefully I am incorrect, but I can see its influence on me, and through perspective, I would understand its affects on others. I think its time for a new chapter in human consciousness that begins with awareness and education of self. You can only open doors for others to look into, it is their choice to walk threw that door or not.Feb 13 2013: Here's the thing. If everyone in the world was totally self centred and focussed only on there own needs Ayn Rand would be right. If everyone in the whole world was totally altruistic and only concerned with what is best for society as a whole then "Karl Marx" would be right. (Marx is in quotes because what is popularly considered Marxism isn't actually Marxism) Lets say pure socialism. The problem is neither of these scenarios is a realistic representation of the world. Therefore neither of them are right.
pat gilbert
Feb 13 2013: The world gets much closer to Rand than Marx, as the prior is organic to humans and the latter is a perversion of humans.
- +2
Feb 13 2013: Survival of the genes is intrinsic to humans (Dawkins) ... both altruism and selfishness exist in humans. Under certain circumstances self centered behavior works best for individual fitness and under other circumstances altruism within cooperative groups works best to promote the fitness of a group. Both human inclinations have survived the test of time.Feb 13 2013: That depends on the company you keep ;-)
Feb 13 2013: That would be the people of Earth? (8^(l)Feb 14 2013: I seek out altruistic hippie types so I can live off their good intentions and not have to do anything for myself.
pat gilbert
Feb 14 2013: How is that working for you?Feb 18 2013: As far as I can say something about it: All systems have lifecycles. If one is not working anymore people seek for alternatives or change/reevaluate. It is like an ecosystem.
- +1
Feb 19 2013: You could argue that Capitalism does have a lifecycle and will burn out without the distraction of another World War.
Around 200 years ago the Luddites broke into factories to smash up all the new machinery that replaced skilled labour with machines. We now live in an age were machines have taken up most of the manual work.
Now that we have the technology we don't need as many jobs, the result being there aren't enough jobs to go round. But no one wants to admit it.
Imagine an education policy that failed 9 out of 10 pupils, it wouldn't last two minutes, yet we persevere with an economic policy that does just that.
The majority of people don't know anything different, "there is no alternative". There is very little coverage or debate of alternatives by the mainstream media because they are all run or owned by the capitalists.Feb 14 2013: Jordan, One last thought. If you are looking for a trend ... follow george Seros , the man who broke the bank of England.
He is the chief donator, and most frequent visitor to the White House. He is said to be Obama's handler.
If there is a pattern here it will show up when Seros makes his monitary move against the United States Dollar.
He is the power to be reconned with on this issue.
Bob.Feb 19 2013: Marxism and Capitalism are almost identical.
Both result in central decision making bodies.
The only difference is whether a corporation or a government holds the reigns.
Socialism and capitalism are not oposites.
The true oposite is anarchism.
Anarchy is best expressed in the "free market". It respects that most systems are self organising and do not require central planning/control.
The role of the "collective" is to set the parameters of these systems to prevent them becoming unstable. It is not the role of the collective to interfere directly with system outcomes.
Both Marxism and Capitalism delight in direct interference in the market.
Feb 19 2013: And here I thought that anarchy was the absence of law enforcement. Which begs the question? Are all humans without sin?
We can beat the philosophical horses to death ie. anarchy, communism, et. el. They all imply that man will play by the rules. And it isn't that it hasn't been tried. Even in the USA, there was the town in Ohio, a couple of communist colonies and they all came to the same end. Some of the participants didn't play the game
and messed it up for everybody.
Now in capitalism, the individual invests his capital has he sees fit to achieve some return for himself or not.
He has the opportunity to fail and lose his capital.
In Anti-capitalism, the state controls all the capital and distributes it as it sees fit.
And don't be hard on those big corporations, they are usually a bunch of individual capitalists that got together to grow their capital. Unlike government, who have the force of law behind them. You don't pay your Sear's bill, they can try to sue you for the money. You don't pay your tax bill and they will take your house, your first born and put your backside in the slammer. I think that is a significant difference.
Feb 19 2013: There is no such thing as "sin".
In the moral continuum there is only advantage/disadvantage spread across the array of personal-->community networks.
In other words, sin is what you get penalized for - it is a label applied after the fact.
Non anarchistic systems fail by confusing parameter laws with direct interference laws.
For instance, if you criminalize drugs, you increase drug usage and benefit the incarceration industry. This is an example of outcome laws.
On the other hand, the laws which regulate agression will reduce murder by identifying self defence. Agression is a known parameter - the law applies to the threshold tollerance with outcomes taking care of themselves.
A group which does not regulate outcomes or parameters will fail if numbers exceed around 200 individuals.
A tribal group which is pre-indoctrinated by dominance will never form a stable tribal cell. For stability to arise requires de-programming of pre-existing states.
Likewise, a tribal group which is not formed of famillial history will fail if not re-acquainted of the default mechanisms of family. I.E. throwing a bunch of strangers together will fail.
Anarchy recognises defaults - including evolutionary encoding - this includes family in humans.
Feb 19 2013: Huhh!
My premise is that Rand and Marx are diametrically opposed and I prefer the Rand model because it fosters individuality vis. collectivism where the individual is usually lost.Feb 19 2013: Yes, it looks that way.
But individuality and collectivism are not diametrically opposed.
Collectivisim is a result of individuality.
What you see are the results of centralism - this is a different thing.
Both Rand and Marx were wrong.Feb 17 2013: No. They are diametrically opposed.
Under Rand, each individual is responsible for his own success. Failure is not an option.
Failure happens. Too bad. It is best if they were kept out of the gene pool.
Well, that is a little heartless!
Under Marx, society distributes success to all individuals, responsibility is not considered, failure is not allowed.
But, there are failures and can we be sure success would be distributed fairly? " From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is what Marx proposed. And who determines how much of the abilities and how much is the need. It seems like President Obama is that person in the USA and he has even said so.
Well, that is a little dictatorial!Feb 16 2013: I dont think about economic systems in terms of right or wrong because it just doesnt make sense to do so. How can we say an economic system is right or wrong if the one system uses a diffrent reasoning then the other... in fact they are both right in the end or wrong depending on wether you look at the premises marx or rand used or the system they created. a system cant be wrong, thats why its a system which defines rules whicht then create the difference between right and wrong.
I also wouldnt say one system works better then the other i just think that we shouldnt use a system forever and ever as if it was the allmighty and only true system.
Capitalism leads to economic growth yeah... but once a certain point is reached it extends its arm beyond just economy takes over politics and prevents us from making the safer, more foreseeing decisions in favour of short term profits.
This point is reached and its the point where capitalism suddenly turns bad and prevents us from growth other then economic growth.
What communism or socialism does is that it creates a system in which the state itself takes control it leads to economic stability (rather then growth) and gives back the power to the state which is then able to make the appropriate long term decisions, once those are settles we might jump ontop of the growth train again.
Why dont we combine those two? Why dont we create a seperate instance nemely a system which is completely remote from any economic or governmental influence which decides when to use which system. Why stick with the same system if its clear its got its flaws and doesnt work perfectly at all times? Why threat them like religions where theres the believers and the nonbelievers?
You dont believe into an economic system ... you use it thats what we created said systems for.
EDIT:And before anyone tells that marxism didnt work... go read up on marxism, then figure out that what he imagined never existed but a system using his name.
Feb 16 2013: How do you define "right and wrong," then--morally? No one has yet posited this notion of right v wrong, good v evil. I believe that's a matter of political ideology. However, you have just expressed your own political ideology, and framed marxism and capitalism exactly along the axes of right v wrong.
The reason I am looking into cyclical trends within economic systems is because that would very much empirically support one system "working better" than another. That is, if we find a State both prospering, and comparatively excelling, then we may vie for a certain economic policy. However, we must explicate the relationship between economic cycles and politics--my aim here-- so as to see if there is any independence between the two. This debate is concluding upon: NO.
There is very, very strong positive correlation (likely causation) between politics and the economy. Aptly, "economic policy." Can you, or anyone, propose a variable INDEPENDENT of politics that forces the economy in one direction? For example, consumer spending habits, global weather patterns, etc. And, can we find a stronger correlation between said hypothetical variable and the economy, than politics and the economy?Feb 15 2013: Okay, They are both wrong because Groucho is right. All I mean is that there are many ways to explain something, and the topic is the social sciences not physics.Feb 14 2013: Why are we still talking about Marxism? It's failed miserably everywhere it was tried. It's even failing in China. Now those still enamored of the idea try to somehow distance Marxism from Communism, though they're about as separable as capitalism and civil rights.
Marxism has been tried and it failed. Let it die.
Feb 14 2013: it failed before it was tried. why mises is missing from our history textbooks??Feb 14 2013: We're not talking about being proactive, that is, advocating implementing Marxism; we're discussing (or at least I'm hoping to) historical trends and economic cycles.
JSFeb 14 2013: I think Marx needs to be viewed in an historical context. He was onto something when discussing the merits of a more collective approach to things being done. After all we currently have an economy that clearly only works for the 1%. That's a bad system.
Feb 14 2013: Gee Craig, guess that is why everyone wants to come to America ... because our system is so bad. You could always enjoy the leadership of your choice in the thriving country of Cuba. Good luck with that. Are you still enjoying the koolade labeled the 1% is to blame for everything. Good luck with that too.
Feb 16 2013: Robert,
America is a nice place, I've been and look forward to my next visit, but that's all. I wouldn't want to live there.
We are blessed with an institution that doesn't discriminate based on the size of your wallet, it's called the NHS.
Cuba, I'll not go there.
I'm not blaming the 1% for everything, you get what you deserve in a democracy.Feb 14 2013: "clearly" is a word that saves you the burden of arguingFeb 16 2013: "Clearly" is an opinion.Feb 13 2013: capitalism is in fact a misnomer. we should call it "freedom". so your question boils down to: is it possible that freedom and lack of freedom can both be good?
Feb 14 2013: I like where you're going with this, but could you expound on why capitalism is a misnomer? The issue at hand, however, isn't semantic. Rather, I am inquiring about economic policies as innately cyclical from a historical/temporal viewpoint.
Feb 14 2013: the name capitalism suggests that it is about capital. it is broader than that. capitalism means total economic freedom, including join, leave, found or dismiss a company, buy any sort of goods, services or any assets on the market, or even to move around undisturbed. this is inseparable from the more general concept of freedom.
Feb 16 2013: I don't think I ever debated the contrary, though I do appreciate the 'translation' of sorts. But, where are you going with this?Feb 13 2013: There are few who understand Marx. Most errantly equate Marxism with communism. But as Marx said of Communism: "If Marxism is Capitalism, then I am not a Marxist".
There are innate truths in Ayn Rand's works. But she pushes the envelope in a direction that does not have to be the only direction.
Where Rand and Marx meet is a beautiful ideal. Could it work? Yes, but our cultures are too insane still to allow it to. Most people do not even know that there is a SELF that should be fully respected by self - and that by doing so, the entire culture blossoms - though not necessarily economically.
Feb 14 2013: I'm not necessarily asking if it could work, though I would very much enjoy your proposal. What I am asking is if there is an innate truth to the economy such that it will cycle between the two?
JSFeb 13 2013: Ayn Rynd was crazy and Kearl Marx was naive Groucho Marks was right Okay, let's return to General Semantics Your comment is Aristotalian life is more complex than either or
Feb 14 2013: If we are to return to general semantics, would you mind returning to general grammar? Sincerely, I want to give you all due credit for your points, but I don't want to have to grammatically decipher them.Feb 13 2013: Jordan, Yes there does appear to be a cycle. It looks like it takes about two or three generations to forget the bad times and what got us there. As we appear to not learn from history we are doomed to repeat it.
Read the events that caused Argentina to fall in 1916 .... you can almost replace the names and events from then to now.
As a student - BA Philosophy, you Have probaly read Plato: Republic and Aristotle: Politics. In Republic Plato paid close attention to the progression of Timocracy, Oligarchy, Democracy, and Tyranny. He clearly shows the association and graduation from one to the other.
Best of luck in your studies. Bob.
Feb 14 2013: Bob, this is what I am hoping to explicate: that there may be a cyclical link between the two. History tells us that when one fails, the other *allegedly* prevails. We have not yet implemented some cyclical rotation until the Obama administration. Now I am NOT accusing/terming/conjuring Obama to be marxist, but rather than his economic policies overlap with Marxist theory. Just one other example I can think of is Hoover prior to FDR-- very capitalistic policies compared to FDR.
Now this begs the question-- aren't you just noticing the differences between democratic and republican economic policies? That would force me to ascribe socialistic economic policy with democrats, and capitalistic policy with republicans. But I am not concerned with that, as that will only supports that economic policy changes as presidential parties change.
What I am wondering is if this is a natural occurrence to maintain equilibrium rather than one dependent upon the presidency? Certainly politics will support the mutual existence of capitalism and socialism, BUT can a temporal, equilibria cycle also? Meaning, is it the nature of the economy, that strives to achieve equilibrium, that allows these ideas to recurrently manifest themselves? Is there a force innate to the economy that seeks equilibrium independent of politics?
Feb 14 2013: Jordan, The difference between the Reps and Dems in regards to economic poloicies is Keyenshian and Austrian. The cyclic link would be dependent upon who is in office. The problem we are facing today is not so much the dems keyneshian economics, as most all democrats in office have used this theory .. but rather the Obama administrations addition of 32 new czars, the application of UN Agenda 21, the spending at record pace, the stimuluses, the fed buying up acid loans, the trillions to support illegals through lack of Constitution / federal/immigartion laws, and the straw that broke the camels back ... Abuse of Executive Orders.
Even with austere measures like Ike did ... it will take 10 to 20 years of dedicated concentration to the budget and reduction of government to get out of this mess .. if at all.
We have followed Argentina of 1916 in economics and socialism ... they are still recovering.
I don't see the trend ... only irresponsbility and lack of understanding at the citizen level.
Thanks for the reply. Bob.

A guide to iPod® and car stereo compatibility
How to get the best level of iPod control in the car
Robert Ferency-Viars is the managing editor for the Crutchfield car A/V learning content, and has been with the company since 1999. A Virginia native from the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, he loves spending time with his wonderful wife and sons, listening to music, writing, and playing games with friends. Robert's love for car audio began at 16 when he installed his first car stereo.
More from Robert Ferency-Viars
Whether you're shopping for a new stereo and want to make sure that you'll get the best experience when using your iPod or iPhone in the car, or if you just want to add iPod controls to a stereo you already have, this article will help. Adding iPod or iPhone control to almost any vehicle's stereo can be made simple by using vehicle- or stereo-specific adapters.
Many new aftermarket stereos have iPod and iPhone controls built in, so you don't need anything more than the iPod cable for basic audio control. On the other hand, some stereos require an adapter in order to access the more advanced features of your device. And many vehicles require an adapter in order to connect your iPod at all.
Benefits of using an iPod adapter in the car
- Better sound — Connecting your iPod via a USB cable gives you better sound quality than running a cable from the headphone jack to the stereo's auxiliary input.
- Music controls — Use the stereo's controls to play, pause, stop, forward, and rewind the music.
- Song search and access to playlists — You can search for songs on your iPod from the stereo. You'll have access to your playlists, but some adapters, especially those for factory stereos, limit the number of playlists you can get to.
- Power — The iPod is powered by the adapter and the battery charges while connected.
- Locked iPod — In most cases, the iPod's controls are locked out — you have to use your stereo's controls, so you can tuck the iPod safely away in your console or glovebox. And of course, some stereos give you the option of switching to the iPod's controls. This is often referred to as "Passenger Mode."
- App control — Many newer stereos let you access specialized apps on your iPod from the stereo. The most basic of these is Pandora controls that let you access your Pandora account (select your channels, rate songs, skip tracks, etc.). But other stereos have far more advanced app controls, especially if the stereo has a video screen.
Type of adapter: Will the regular iPod cable do the job?
The kind of cable or adapter you need depends on the capabilities of the stereo you have in the dash.
USB connection — Stereos that have built-in iPod controls and USB inputs usually only need the standard iPod cable for basic audio control. This is the most common situation since USB inputs are found on most new aftermarket stereos and also in most new vehicles. In many cases, you can use the cable that came with your iPod to connect and control it from the stereo. It's a good idea to purchase an extra iPod cable to leave in the car.
A USB port represents the most common connection for an iPod or iPhone.
iPod adapter cables — Some stereos, especially those with video screens, require a special adapter cable in order to get full iPod integration. You might be able to get basic control of the iPod with the regular iPod cable, but in order to see song titles and menus on the stereo's display, or to access music apps like Pandora or satellite radio, you need the special adapter cable.
This iPhone connection package includes three separate pieces to get new iPhones integrated to HDMI-equipped receivers.
External control boxes — Occasionally, the iPod controls are housed in an outboard box that connects to the stereo and iPod. This is the most common option for adding iPod control to a factory stereo. When this option is available, the adapter box connects to the rear of the stereo, and adds a USB connection specifically for your iPod.
This USA Spec interface lets you connect your iPhone to select GM vehicles.
Functionality: How easy is it to control your iPod from the stereo?
Now let's discuss the stereo itself. Some receivers work better with iPods than others, and it's not that hard to figure out which ones. Functionality refers to how easy it is to manipulate the iPod's functions from your car stereo.
The stereo's display
Consider a basic display with a single line of text, limited to 8 or 10 characters visible at a time. Song text might scroll across the display. You probably have to switch view settings to see artist name, song title, and playlist, or there might be only numeric designations for playlists. Factory stereos and budget-priced aftermarket receivers usually fall into this category.
Compare that display to one with two or three lines of text that can show you all of the song information at once. Searching for songs and folders is going to be much easier on a display that shows this much detail.
The stereo's controls
Just as the display is important for being able to see what you're doing, having radio controls that are suited for searching and accessing a song library affects iPod control too. Basic stereo controls can mean extra button pushing to make you're way through the song menu to get to the artist and album you want to hear. Stereos with more advanced controls will make it much easier to find the song you want.
The large touchscreen display on the Pioneer AVH-AVH-4100NEX DVD receiver provides a user-friendly interface to find music on your iPod. Receivers like this are designed with iPod compatibility in mind.
iPod compatibility and shopping for a new stereo
To help find stereos with the right level of iPod control, we added an iPod compatibility filter to the car stereo section of our web site. On the left nav bar, you'll see the following section:
App Compatible: These stereos give you access to one or more apps on your iPod or iPhone. On more advanced receivers, like Pioneer's AppRadio, you might get access to many apps that have been tailored to the stereo.
Audio Playback: This option refers standard audio controls. You can use the stereo to access the audio content stored on your iPod or iPhone. You usually don't need to buy any optional adapters and they tend to give you the best level of control.
iPhone 5, 6, and 6+ Compatible: These stereos are specifically compatible with the iPhone 5, 6, and 6+, which feature a "Lightning" connection in lieu of the traditional 30-pin connection. Certain app and video functions that are readily accessible from older iPhones may not be available through the newer iPhones, or they may require special cables or connections.
Pandora: This is a subset of the stereos in the above iPhone categories that specifically have the ability to control Pandora Internet radio through your iPhone.
Siri Control: Some stereos let you access Siri through the stereo's Bluetooth® connection. It uses the stereo's microphone to let Siri hear you, and Siri's responses are played over the car's speakers.
Video Playback: This option means that the stereo can play video content from your iPod or iPhone. This includes streaming video content, such as YouTube and Netflix. Keep in mind that viewing videos on your car stereo's screen requires that the vehicle be stopped and the parking brake be engaged. This feature usually requires that you purchase a special adapter cable (you can use the standard iPod cable for basic audio controls, just like the "Audio Playback" category above).

Does the National Hockey League's Winter Classic doesn't even need winter?
Does Los Angeles even have a hockey team?Not according to the local media or the NHL.com shop. They're the Sacramento Kings, led by star forward Alex Kopitar and defenseman Brad Doty.
The LA area has been looking for a major New Year's Day sporting event.
They're the Sacramento Kings
The winter classics have had trouble keeping the ice decent even in moderate temperatures. I'm sure you could make an ice rink in LA, but I don't think you could make an NHL game-quality rink outdoors in LA. The game would be a shitshow.They did it during September in Vegas when it was 85 degrees outside, and the ice actually held up pretty well. Probably better than the ice at Staples when there are five different events in the same weekend. I don't imagine the technology is any worse now than it was in 1991.
They also have an outdoor skating rink during the winter at Pershing Square. I assume the ice conditions for that are poor, but that probably has more to do with having a million crappy skaters out there at any given time.
It's clear the the NHL needs to put an outdoor hockey game in Los Angeles before they try it in Minnesota.

I've got a problem with a part we are trying to make.
It's long thin steel with some nuts welded on it.
I have a tolerance of 0.5mm.
And as soon as I take it out of the gig it's over 1 mm out. And it's execentuated down the piece.
I've tried welding it as cold as pos, doing one small weld at a time with cooling in between.
Any ideas?

Pre camber the part by placing something under the middle and clamping both ends before you weld it. Might take a part or two to nail it.Miller syncrowave 200 runner with coolmate 4

Ditto, if you are a MM out, try starting with a mm camber the opposite way and you should come out straight. Helps if you can let a cool a minute or two before taking out of the jig
What kind of metal, how long is the work piece, what welding process are you using, how many welds and how close together are they?
Is a product like this large and strong enough to use for your project. I have used my rivet nut set a few times, for my applications they worked fine.
Could also try pre heating the piece before you start welding.
Try this stuff. It really does work well on all metals. On the back of the tube says... keeps adjoining metals from distortion, discoloration, warping, cracking, buckling, or blistering caused by welding, brazing or soldering.

Lotus team principal Eric Boullier is convinced Romain Grosjean's podium in Bahrain is a sign of things to come...
Lotus team principal Eric Boullier is convinced Romain Grosjean's podium in Bahrain is a sign of things to come.
While team-mate Kimi Raikkonen was battling for victories in the first three races of the season, Grosjean found life a lot more difficult in the middle of the pack with some car troubles.
The fact that a lot of eyes were on him following his mixed 2012 campaign when he was involved in several first-lap incidents also didn't help his cause.
The Frenchman, though, got his head down and he found a happy medium at the Sakhir circuit last time out as he finished third behind race winner Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull and Raikkonen.
Boullier feels Grosjean has proved he can stay out of trouble and is also confident he will build on the success he had at Bahrain.
"If you look at the season so far, except for the car issue, he didn't have troubles," said Boullier.
"He was having good starts, good first laps and good overtaking manoeuvres. So I think he is okay now. But Bahrain was a big relief. He put a lot of effort in to rebuild himself after 2012, and it is now paying off.
"He had a frustrating first three races, but he can now build on this and keep the momentum."
Although Lotus changed his chassis in Bahrain, Boullier believes several other factors contributed to Grosjean's excellent display.
"It was not only the chassis, there were a lot of details to understand why it didn't work," he said. "But the team did a good job and we found a couple of things that made Romain happy with his car.
"So when he started to enjoy driving, it was a different world. I know he is starting his season now."

Integrated Microgyroscopes with Improved Scale-Factor and Bias Stability [BPN684]Despite their small size, low power dissipation, and low cost, the large bias and scale factor errors of current MEMS inertial sensors preclude using them for dead reckoning navigation. Although these shortcomings can be overcome with precision manufacturing and extensive calibration, such solutions suffer from high cost and secondary effects such as long term drift. Presently, the use of in-situ calibration techniques in MEMS sensors is limited to the electronic interfaces, where they are instrumental for reducing drift arising from electronic components. This project extends the benefit of electronic background calibration to the MEMS transducer to continuously reduce scale factor and bias errors arising from manufacturing tolerances and drift.

This woman was spending some time outdoors on a sunny day working in her yard. She had applied sunscreen to the sun-exposed skin of her face, and chose to wear a long-sleeved shirt and denim pants, all of which would help to protect her from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. She was also wearing a pair of glasses, a hat and gloves to protect her eyes, scalp and hands respectively. She'd also packed some water in order to avoid the possibility of dehydration.

LAS VEGAS— President Obama has no business asking Oscar Cuevas for his vote.
Since Obama assumed office, Cuevas, 23, lost his job as a cell-phone store manager when the shop went out of business. He spent the next two years unemployed. His parents lost their home and moved in with him. So did four of his siblings, one with a newborn child. Cuevas hasn't paid his own mortgage in months, and the bank has come knocking. He now has a job helping to register Latino voters, but he still can't make his house payment. Too many other bills have piled up.
Cuevas voted for Barack Obama in 2008, but he is undecided this time. "He's not doing a bang-up job," Cuevas said, flashing an infectious smile.
For 100 years, Nevada has been the quintessential presidential bellwether, siding with the victor in 24 of the past 25 campaigns (it missed only Jimmy Carter), more than any other state. And this year, both sides are pouring millions of dollars into ground operations and television advertising to frame the debate.
If the 2012 election is about the economy, then Cuevas—and Nevada—should be a lost cause for Obama. The state has topped the charts in unemployment (at 12 percent), foreclosures, and faded dreams. In some Las Vegas neighborhoods, more than eight in 10 homes are underwater, worth less than they were bought for. In the "best-off" ZIP code in the Las Vegas region, 42 percent of homes are underwater, according to Zillow, the real-estate tracking firm. The only construction work here these days seems to be boarding up abandoned houses.
And yet the president is not just competitive in Nevada, he is leading Republican Mitt Romney, according to most polls. It is not the 12-point margin he won by in 2008, but a slim lead is still a lead.
Vice President Joe Biden's July speech here to the National Council of La Raza crystallized the Obama campaign's strategy aimed at Latinos. Speaking in the foreclosure capital of America, it was 10 minutes before Biden mentioned the economy. Instead, he warned the crowd of nearly 2,000 Latino activists of the dangers posed by a President Romney.
"Close your eyes," said Biden, channeling his inner revivalist.
In the span of a minute, he asked them 10 times to "imagine" the horrors of a Romney presidency. Biden spoke of "self-deportation," Arizona's immigration law, and a veto of the Dream Act. Civil rights, voting rights, college scholarships, health care coverage for Hispanics—all are on the line. "Close your eyes and imagine," he repeated.

I think many sportsmen are farmers at heart. They've simply missed their calling. Think about it: farmers love being outside, alone with their thoughts. They live for overcoming weather, equipment, and wildlife. And they find a great satisfaction in providing food for themselves and others. Is that not the same soul of a sportsman?This past fall, on a crisp, breezy November afternoon, I sat in a tree stand along a cut bean field.

text: The talent gap between major BCS schools and smaller, non-BCS schools has dramatically decreased in the past decade. This has also translated to more non-BCS production into the NFL draft. In the 2013 draft, Eric Fisher came out of Central Michigan, a tiny MAC school, to be the first overall pick. He was followed by three more non-BCS first round selections. It shows how the NFL draft is no longer exclusive to major conferences. The 2014 draft is no exception, as there are a handful of prospects looking to crash the first round and beyond. Also, BYU and Notre Dame may not qualify as "small schools" due to their large endowment towards football, but they are non-BCS programs and thus remain included in this group.

Actually it's a sit-down-only affair. I sat in a chair beside it to check and I can push the buttons and twiddle the knob ok in that position. Worst case I'll re-locate it to the top surface.....I doubt I'll be doing any welding on it !
I was thinking this morning about a temporary table and will have to get some sheet of steel to plop across a couple of sawhorses or something - again - until I can actually get some skill and really weld something proper.

BLOOMINGTON -- Conspiracy theorists are out in force in the wake of Hoosier defeat. Dark forces are at work robbing the Cream 'n Crimson of justice and victory.
Do you think it's an accident that Indiana lost at Illinois just a few days after Beyonce flashed an Illuminati sign during her Super Bowl halftime show, thus causing a second-half power outage (you don't REALLY believe the reports absolving her?), thus causing two storm fronts to merge on the East Coast to create a historic Nor'easter?
Except, of course, there is no conspiracy.
Well, at least, that's what THEY want you to believe.
Anyway, the buzz about whether Illinois had too much time to run its game-winning in-bounds play Thursday night (NEWS FLASH: it was still only NINE-TENTHS of a second!) misses the point, which is that No. 1 Indiana blew the game in a dozen ways, it's irrelevant now and beat Ohio State on Sunday.
Repeat -- beat Ohio State.
A 1-1 result from road games to Illinois and the No. 10 Buckeyes was a reasonable goal for this week. Yes, 2-0 would have been great, but given the wacky world of college basketball in general, and the brutal nature of the Big Ten (see Wisconsin over Iowa in two overtimes and Michigan over Ohio State in OT for confirmation) in particular, it was extremely unlikely.
Beat the Buckeyes (17-5 overall, 7-3 in the Big Ten) and order is restored. Lose and a conference title and a likely No. 1 NCAA tourney seed ain't happening.
It's that simple.
IU went 8-2 in the easy part of its Big Ten schedule, recognizing that "easy" is a relative term in conference play. It lost two games -- Thursday's 74-72 choke job at Illinois and last month's 64-59 home stunner to Wisconsin -- it shouldn't have lost. It should be 10-0 in the league with a solid margin of error in its bid for its first conference championship since 2002 and first No. 1 NCAA tourney seed since 1993.
The margin is gone.
The Hoosiers (20-3) are tied with No. 3 Michigan (21-2) and No. 12 Michigan State (19-4) for the Big Ten lead. They have road games with those two schools, plus No. 18 Minnesota (17-6). They also have a home game against Ohio State.
So what will be emphasized given this daunting schedule?
Tom Crean has a few thoughts.
"The schedule is daunting for everybody," Indiana's coach said. "It's what it's been all week -- improvement. We can get a lot better."
IU has struggled with killer instinct against elite competition (see nail-biter wins over Minnesota and Michigan as examples). Beating the Central Connecticut States of the college basketball world was fantasy that has no bearing now. You need 40 minutes of tough minded play. The Hoosiers had 37 minutes at Illinois and it wasn't good enough.
"My lens is improvement," Crean said. "That's the lens I look at it through. I have to hope that we get the whole team to look at it through the same lens.
"That's the trick. The teams that do that the best are the ones that are successful. You have to keep improving. You have to keep having the togetherness. You've got to play through mistakes. When you've got a chance to put somebody away, you've got to put them away."
Why isn't Indiana putting teams away?
"It's obvious," Crean said. "You've got to know every team's strengths, and (Illinois') strength is their three-point shooting. Our strength is not over-helping (on defense).
"There is a fine line that we're trying to get to. Sometimes what happens, you get so consumed with your man that you either face guard too much and you leave a man on an island with the ball, or you over-help in a situation and you rotate back."
TRANSLATION: You mess up.
So IU heads to Ohio State, which has the Big Ten's leading scorer in Deshaun Thomas (the ex-Bishop Luers standout averages 19.9 points). It has, if you believe coach Thad Matta, the conference's best on-ball defender in Aaron Craft (he looked awfully good in defending Michigan's Trey Burke last Tuesday). It has a formidable home court advantage. Matta is a Big Ten-best 149-13 at home in the last nine years, 67-4 in the last four years.
Crean will have a sold game plan to deal with all that, but when you get past all the Xs and Os, it comes down to this:
"You can't leave their strengths. You can't let them have their strengths."
That's no conspiracy. It's fact.

A spiritual name is a vibration and a tool that helps to elevate your energy through the power of its nadh (inner sound current), and through the divine essence of its meaning. It is your spiritual or soul identity. It challenges you to live in your highest consciousness and helps you progress towards your ultimate destination. Making the choice to receive a spiritual name is taking a step toward leaving old patterns behind and connecting with your infinite self.
How does having a spiritual name impact your life?
- It's your spiritual identity.
- It's an opportunity to leave the past behind and live consciously.
- It's a tool or road map to your highest destiny.
- It's a blessing to be continually reminded of your unique soul and your relationship with the Infinite.
- It's a rebirth in consciousness.
- It's life changing.
Click here to learn more about a spiritual name.

Without finding that strength to live your spiritual identity, life will be a waste, and we don't want it to be wasted." ~ Yogi Bhajan

Lying on the pavement, barely conscious, all John Bogart could see through the slits of his eyes was the awkward position of his foot. It was completely sideways.
It wasn't until he was fully alert in the emergency department that spring afternoon in 1991 that he realized the extent of his injuries, the result of a devastating motorcycle accident on the back roads of Derby. "The doctors told me I was lucky to be alive," John says.
At the time, doctors mended his open fracture by setting the broken bones in his foot and ankle. John spent three weeks in bed recovering from the accident. Over time, his cuts and bruises healed, but his ankle was never the same.
Every day for nearly 20 years, John, president of Integro, an electrical manufacturing company in New Britain, endured excruciating pain that felt like a knife jabbing through his ankle and foot. "I would wake up hopeful that the day would be different," he remembers. "In the morning, I had some flexibility, but by the afternoon I walked with a heavy limp. And by dinner time, I couldn't walk at all." His driveway seemed like Mount Everest, he says, as walking the incline from the house to the mailbox was completely impossible. He took up to six over-the-counter pain killers a day for years in an attempt to mask the pain. It barely did the trick. The medication eventually thinned out his blood so much that he developed regular nosebleeds.
The low point came in 2009. It was a beautiful summer day and his children, Kendra and John Jr., then ages 2 and 5, were kicking a soccer ball around the yard of the family's Oxford home. "They called me over and asked me to play with them," says John. "But there was no way I could. The pain was too intense to take one step. So there I was on the sidelines, sitting in a chair. I was miserable. I knew this was no way to live my life."
He never could have predicted what happened next.
While picking up a few items at the supermarket that week, John ran into an old friend who was surprised to see him limping with a cane. The friend recommended John see Orthopedic Surgeon William Cimino, MD.
John took his advice and made an appointment. "Dr. Cimino examined my ankle and foot and asked me many detailed questions about my injury and the symptoms I experienced over the years," John remembers. "He really listened to me and understood my pain. I knew from the get-go I was in good hands."
"John was experiencing post-traumatic arthritis," explains Dr. Cimino. (See above: What is Post-Traumatic Arthritis?) "One way people with post-traumatic arthritis get through the pain is to take anti-inflammatory medication. But medication was no longer helping John, so we discussed surgical options," he says. "There are generally two procedures for patients who have this type of condition. One is artificial joint replacement which is only indicated in some patients, depending on their physical demands. The other is an arthrodesis, or fusion," he says. "John was not a candidate for a replacement due to his age and his desire to be very active. A fusion, which joins the two main bones in the ankle using special surgical screws, was a better alternative both to restore John's quality of life and provide him with a longerlasting solution." Dr. Cimino described the complex surgery, which he would conduct with the dedicated team at Bridgeport Hospital's SurgEase outpatient surgical center.
"When Dr. Cimino recommended surgery, I was worried at first," expresses John. "I didn't know much about fusions, but he assured me I would have range of motion and, most importantly, the pain would be gone. That's just what I wanted to hear. When I found out he was an expert in this type of surgery—having successfully done many of these procedures—my fear turned to relief."
The day of the surgery, John's wife, Tami, drove John to Bridgeport Hospital. A team of doctors and nurses prepared John for the procedure and talked to the couple about what to expect after surgery and during the healing process.
Due to the complexity of the procedure, John was given general anesthesia and monitored during the surgery by Bridgeport Hospital's anesthesia team while Dr. Cimino worked to repair the ankle. Using advanced techniques and going through John's previous incision, the two sides of the ankle joint were prepared as required by the fusion procedure, and then reattached with metal screws so that the bones could grow together over time and become one functional, fused bone. Two hours later, the surgery was complete, and John was on his way to beginning a new chapter in his life. Tami brought John home that afternoon.
Recovering at home, John rested and practiced getting around with his crutches. "The team at Bridgeport Hospital was outstanding," John says. "They explained everything that was to come. They called me that evening and the next day to see how I was doing. We really appreciated that extra attention and care."
A week later, John was back at work. Eight weeks later, his cast was off, and he gradually incorporated the daily strengthening exercises into his routine, as recommended by Dr. Cimino and the post-surgical team, to build up his leg muscles. He was jogging about six weeks later and playing golf in Florida in just two months.
Today, the 42-year-old executive has a new outlook on his future. "This surgery completely changed my life," John exclaims. "Being in pain every day was no way for me to live. Now, I have no pain at all! I don't take any medication and I feel great. I'm back to exercising, I coach wrestling and I can play golf—pain free. I've lost 25 pounds since the surgery simply because I'm more active. At last check, my blood pressure was down to 119/73. Before the surgery, it was as high as 142/89! Best of all, I can play soccer in the yard with my wife and children. Thanks to Dr. Cimino and his recommendation to have this procedure with the team at Bridgeport Hospital, my overall health has improved— and I have my life back!"

U12 Juggling Champs
The winners of the U12 Juggling Competition have been crowned! Mika Makekau of Hawaii Rush walked away as top juggler with 4123! Outstanding job!
"I am so honored to be the best juggler in the contest and juggling is beneficial to my game so that I have more control on the ball," said Mika after the competition.
Jared's coach Andrew Kummer said this about his young Champion, "Jared is very much deserving of this recognition. He works hard at his game and it shows in his ability to handle the ball in tight spaces. Juggling has certainly proven to be a factor in his overall comfort on the ball."
Here are the winners, the Rush records and a breakdown of the clubs and their scores
Golden Touch for the females:
1.) Kyeesia 'Mika' Makekau, Number: 4123 Club: Hawaii2.) Mari Annest, Number: 4081 Club: Colorado
3.) Alysha Somera, Number: 1556 Club: Hawaii
Golden Touch for the males:
1.) Jared 'Sunny' Sun, Number: 721 Club: Colorado
2.) Connor Drought, Number: 635 Club: Washington
3.) Clay Obara, Number: 526 Club: Virginia
See complete results for the U12 Competition here.
Competition often brings out the best in players, even if they are not the winner. Below is a message from 2nd place finisher Mari Annest of the Colroado Rush to her coach after the competition:
"Hi Erik,
I know the juggling competition is over and i am sorry for that. I was really bummed out when i was 2nd in the Golden Touch because i thought i had it.
I am sorry, because i know i could have and should have kept going. When I saw that Mika (from Hawaii) had beaten me, I went outside, because I knew I could do better.
When I went out, I got 4463. I wish that I had kept going in the juggling competition, because I know that it would have helped our team.
Coming soon will be the U13 Juggling Competition. Stay tuned!

A decision has been made.
At a special meeting held Nov. 26, Creston School Board made the decision to turn the safe rooms at Creston High School into classrooms.
"We have resources through FEMA to build either an open space gymnasium or four classrooms," said interim Superintendent Chuck Scott "... (Creston High School principal) Mr. Messerole said he could support either one. If it's classrooms, he could use two of them right now. If we go to classrooms, as a redesign in the neighborhood of an additional $100,000, that's the cost of doing business."
Heather Haxton discussed with the school board the options and basic plans of the safe rooms. Haxton is Project Coordinator with Laugerman Architects.
The money was awarded to Creston School District through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program for the building of safe rooms at the high school. The total amount awarded was $1,095,108. Federal money accounts for 75 percent, which equals $821,638. The state of Iowa pays 10 percent, which equals $109,551. The final amount is 15 percent, equaling $163,919, which is paid through a local match and in-kind gifts. The funds will be paid as the project progresses.
The cost for the safe room is about $215 per square foot. The reason for the higher cost per square foot, comparable to $125 per square foot for a classroom not built to safe room speculations, is because the safe rooms are reinforced and must be able to withstand 250 mph winds.
The project is considered an alternate project from the original proposed gym because Iowa Homeland Security Emergency Mitigation Department has already awarded the funds to Creston and therefore cannot award the money elsewhere. FEMA has allowed the project scope change instead of having the money returned to federal.
"Conceptually I don't see how we can give up 85 percent participation by another governmental body to not just make the saferoom classrooms," said Board Member Ron Dunphy.
The basics
The potential date for starting on site work is March 1, 2013. The walls will be poured and set during the winter so they will be ready to use when work begins in the spring. The final date of work for the high school safe rooms is Jan. 1, 2014, allowing for the close out to be finished by March 1, 2014.
"The other part that is built into this ... are a lot of inspections," said Haxton. "... and that helps from two standpoints. It helps from your guys' stand point to make sure the building gets done correctly. You've got a third party coming in and going even from the floor flatness standpoint, did they actually make the floor straight, which is helping long-term and it's helping short-term. If it's screwed up, they have to redo it now instead of later. And it's also helping from the standpoint that if something is wrong it's going to be caught in that moment, not caught five steps down the road where you've got to backtrack so far."
The design will be for four classrooms, two 30 feet by 30 feet, and two 35 feet by 35 feet, built onto the 200 and 300 corridors on the west end of the school. Conduit will be set inside the walls for electricity.
"FEMA typically never ever allows you to A: move site, and B: move your project type, and they're saying, if that's what it takes to use this money, we will figure out how to make that scope change," said Haxton.
The timeline for the project consists of resigning the rooms in December and putting the redesign in to FEMA, putting it out for bid in January, and receiving bids in February. On site work is set for March 1.
The safe rooms will be separate from the main high school building by two feet, with vents in the gap to prevent mold and fungal growth. There will be windows with special closings, and fire exits on either side of the addition that will unlock only when a siren sounds.
Rich Flynn, Creston School Board member, made a point by asking to keep the safe rooms as a gym as it is in the original design and adding classrooms built without safe room specifications.
"I say we've already built the gym at the elementary-middle school. I know it's not attached to the high school but I say we already have that in the making," said Board Member Sharon Snodgrass.
Each classroom would require 65 percent clear space, after furniture is taken into account. There will also be bathrooms attached in order for the rooms to stand alone. There will be covered access from the main building of the school that leads into an eight-foot hallway.
"Are we going to be rushing into classrooms that are going to be...not designed or poorly designed for what we are going to need in the future, and do we need to go more classrooms?" said Flynn.
Flynn also said he was concerned with jumping in and making the change to classrooms from the gym with out doing a study as to what the school actually needs. He looked ahead at the classes still in elementary school where they are slightly bigger than the high school class sizes.
"I also feel like if we already need the classroom space and we can make it work, we may have to scramble a little to get it done here, but ... I think that our community is going to appreciate that," said Snodgrass.
Dunphy moved to use the safe room space as classrooms. Rick Fyock seconded the motion. Board Member Galen Zumbach was absent. Dunphy, Fyock and Snodgrass voted in favor, while Flynn voted against the motion.
