Why is India poor? What can be done to change this?
I am looking to go beyond the obvious reason which is quality of institutions (including corruption) and infrastructure. For a nation of 1.2 billion, even if the institutions aren't that good, it should be possible to fix things, right?
I think we can learn a lot from history and evolution of distribution of wealth in the world. Look at this chart: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V_zsRrVZd4w/T_B-rIF6v7I/AAAAAAAAGhE/JdlSo4iwtGU/s1600/Economic+history+of+world.png
This shows a shocking shift of wealth off India in only as much as past 300 years. Caste system and all have been here since ever, so there has to be a deeper reason. Also, as much as I agree with Technology being the reason, I don't really see it as the reason, unless we want to be developed EXACTLY in the way as the west is - there CAN be multiple other ways of being wealthy - and the tech way of using minimal human capital and mechanization while may be the best for the west where humans resources are scarce, it may not be the best way for our human-capital rich society - wonder how much we can do with sooo many hands! And still, we are just struggling to feed those mouths :(
So I guess the question is calling for a critical analysis of what has brought about the condition shown in this graph, where India houses the max poor in one country: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cXku0S7O-N0/UA1lK_DhtbI/AAAAAAAAAgE/0FduwIJQhZ4/s1600/regional-ineq.JPG
By the way, a disclaimer here is a must on my background so that you do not think this is coming from a very narrow mind - I am not casteist, am highly educated, and am IIT B.Tech. grad - so a big promoter of tech (tech I think is awesome for me and the likes who like it, but still don't see mechanization as the solution to human state).
Apr 8 2013: the chart is misleading, as it shows data in percentage of global wealth. if you look at absolute numbers, turns out that india never went back, the progress is continuous. the reason why india lost its lead in terms of world percentage is the fast progress of europe and USA in the centuries before 1900, and then in a decelerating pace up to now. this growth wasn't any faster than what india has today, in fact it was slower.
economic growth requires time. it works through accumulation of capital. capital, in turn, accelerates the accumulation even further. there is no skipping of this. the path has to be walked. we can only control to some degree the speed of progress. if we hinder the economy with stupid regulations, war, instability, etc, we can slow down progress or even turn it into negative. but we can not artificially speed up the economy above its natural rate. if we can speed it up at all, maybe the best we can is to educate the people about the significance of economic freedom and property rights. if you look at the numbers, india performs very good at the moment. the growth is impressive. but it is questionable if the intention is good, or it is just happens out of luck. related talk is http://www.ted.com/talks/niall_ferguson_the_6_killer_apps_of_prosperity.html
from the above, it is clear that wealth is mostly based on history. even if you adopt the best methods possible, you won't get rich next year. it just puts you on a trajectory that makes you rich in the future, 50 or 100 years later. on the contrary, if you do terribly, it is still possible that you are rich. 400 years of steady progress can be followed by a stupid neo-marxist neo-fasist neo-mercantilist neo-luddite neo-expansionist state control. it effectively shuts down progress, but will not eliminate all the wealth at once. people can enjoy the fruits of their ancestors' labor for a long time before the entire thing collapses. this is what is happening in the USA and the EU.
Apr 8 2013: I agree overall, it is probably just the capital game. I am not sure enough to deny the existence of another route, but this way, it makes sense.
One small point -
Regarding the graph, I don't think India didn't go back in absolute numbers. In fact I think, and that is the common belief in the country, that it did indeed go back in wealth even in absolute terms, during the colonial rule. Do you have data supporting your claim (made in the first line, where you say that the chart is misleading)?Apr 8 2013: Oh interesting - maybe you are both right and wrong! Hear this: India did not go back in absolute terms, but the 'term' changed. Ofcourse, it was all trade, the colonialization. BUT, food got replaced with metallic arms, which were 'valued' more highly, and disparity/ concentration of wealth increased. That pushed the 'country' into poverty.
Is that correct? What do you think, Krisztian? I think it is a nice conclusion.
Apr 8 2013: the data we have is quite weak. it is apparent that life expectancy for example went down in the colonial era, but not by much.
hans rosling's famous gapminder shows this from 1800 to 1900: www.bit.ly/ZJlCNj
the change seems very slow and not very significant. if you run the program forward, you can see that real progress started after 1950, which coincides the end of british oppression, but another milestone was around 1980, when india abandoned socialist views in favor of more economic liberalism.
so my conclusion is that colonialism prevented progress, but did not cause negative growth. it is all economical though, the cultural changes can not be measured bu gdp.
ps: keep in mind that preventing progress is the exact same crime as theft. do not interpret my words as i think colonialism did not hurt. it did. but the harm did not manifest itself in shrinking economy.
Apr 8 2013: well observed - 90's and 2k's have been good yearsApr 9 2013: I think it is the mentality of people that makes India look poor otherwise if we look at the resources India has, it should not be categorized as poor. Look at Singapore, Japan, Korea - small countries but they have bigger economy then that of India. What kind of natural resources they have compared to India ? Much much less in qty & variety, still they are ahead. Instead of looking into future we many times live in past & stick to it. Change is hard to come. We should not forget our past but for good progress of any society future vision is also as important as the past is.
If we just change the mentality of pulling legs to supporting legs then this tag will be vanished automatically.Apr 8 2013: Hi Divya!
India is poor because Indians fashion prosperity and wealth looking at others and cannot redefine these. India is also poor because Indians neglect her rural population and their realities. I agree that India's material wealth has been stolen for centuries but that's hardly any excuse for laziness, corruption and lack of will.
If I may ask what is your tread in B.Tech? And can you innovate a technology that is cheap, efficient and help average Indian villager to raise the quality of his life?
Apr 9 2013: Nothing manufacturers laziness, corruption and lack of will better than democracy.
Apr 9 2013: So that people can live the mistakes out, suffer and learn, all by themselves and that is what is great about democracy.
Apr 9 2013: not sure what you mean?
But there is this esoteric concept that is foreign to most progressives called life in which a person gets to experience it without the nanny state telling him what is best for him.Apr 9 2013: I mean that democracy is still the best political system in the world. I don't deny that it breeds certain vices, but it is an open system where there are possibilities of course correction.
Apr 9 2013: That is not true. What you end up with is the tyranny of democracyApr 9 2013: yeah, like vito corleone is still the best mob boss in the world. democracy can grant you one thing only: the exploited class never exceed 50%.
Divya Jain
Apr 7 2013: Oh no, these people are really poor and unhappy. There's no doubt about it. And the logic looks funny from our side, did to me too when I first heard of it as a high school kid. But that is how life below subsistence level is. That's the reason why it is tough to abolish child labor too. Those kids actually support adults while themselves consume less resources. It is a completely different dynamics, needs some work to understand.

Manan Singh
Apr 7 2013: 1.) People of India( including very poor ) spend a lot of money on social ceremonies ( like marriages ).
- +1
2.) When India was not a free country, then the British discouraged industries and ruined traditional handicrafts. This low economical development continued even after its independence. It was followed by a sudden increase in population.
3.) After the sudden increase in population, the number of job seekers increased. The Green Revolution and Industrialization did created some jobs but effects were limited. Then these people took up odd jobs like hawking, rickshaw pulling etc. and settled at the outskirts of cities ( usually slums ).
Apr 7 2013: But why did we not recover? Even the countries completely destroyed by world wars have recovered and are the most developed. We sure have resources and human capital.. why do we lag behind then?Apr 9 2013: Why is India Poor?
The Answer is simple :
Its mainly corruption . The demon of corruption has literally destroyed our country economically, morally. Our so called 'Leaders' have no clue what they are doing and whats going except a few of them.
Poverty leads to lack of education which inturn leads to more and more uneducated people choosing politicians from criminal backgrounds as their leaders . This results in more black money getting stashed. Poor judiciary reforms makes things even worse.
Last but not the least , is when the educated class is not interested in National politics so either they don't go out to vote or even if they do they are outnumbered . I am not blaming the uneducated class. But this lack of awareness is the root cause of poverty in country. But the good signs is lot of movements are taking place , through social media awareness is slowly being created. So definitely our country will not remain poor for long:)
Apr 9 2013: It is tough to get to vote these days, as we keep changing residences and cities..Apr 8 2013: Exactly. yes, to the last question, and infact a related observation is tht almost none of my engineer frineds actually invent things for use here - for all those reasons!
It seems enterprise and will is the solution. I dont knwo it, but thta's what I am starting to do now.
Thanks, Pabitra.
Apr 8 2013: Welcome. After I read suggestions by others, I'd like to add that it's not entirely for lack of money. I mean it's better to redesign a rural husking pedal in India after having an IIT B.Tech than be an investment banker in Singapore. My opinion entirely.Apr 8 2013: I think India is poor because it does not have enough money.
This video explains why India is poor
Apr 8 2013: OK video. The analysis is little loose.
I don't know why we want to compare India with China, and not any other country; the countries have very different past and mentality and govt. The biggest difference in the past (relatively recent) of the countries is that India was under colonial rule until only 65 years back! To get better insights, I wouldn't necessarily compare India to China.
However, I agree with the overall point of the video, while there are many errors in the details:
Let's look at minor errors first -
1. Although it is foolish to say that just authoritarian govt ensures faster development, the point is that if the authoritarian govt is pro-progress, it will ofcurse be fater in growth. It is inadequate to put all types of authoritarian govts in one bucket - military rule in Pakistan obviousy hampers growth.
2. The pictures of Shanghai and Mumbai, although minor, are biased :) I needed to point this out :) Mumbai has its own nice-building-skyline, and Shanghai ofcourse would have it own slums.
3. Low women participation - I am not sure... from my observation, women work in India too. And especially in poor families, everybody - even kids - works.
Now to the good and important points that have come out of this video and what I have thought of them -
1.Participation of women in workforce has come out, that can probably be increased in India.
2. I think democracy is indeed an expensive and slow form of govt. It does make decisions slow.
Authoritarian rule would mean a faster growth - if it means growth - i.e. it is a high-risk high-gain thing. If you have a good king, you are great, a bad one will ruin the country. Anyway, given India, authoritarian rule is not a possibility, and democracy is here to stay. However, maybe the local level govts can be made faster and more authoritarian - a call for changes in existing imperial model of governance is in order. This is known as the idea of empowering the 'panchayats' in India.
Any other takes
pat gilbert
Apr 8 2013: It has been a while since I have seen that video. My take is that India's main problem was the tyranny of democracy and the inevitable corruption.
- +1
Yes a monarchy is probably the most efficient but if your monarch is Mao it is not going to be good.Apr 8 2013: And yes, above all, your conclusion is there - that it is a problem of capital. That seems very correct. ("India is poor coz it doesnt have any money").Apr 8 2013: Hey Divya,
India is a very complex country and you cannot compare it to any other country. What ever succeeds in India will not work elsewhere and Vice Versa. And I know its very easy to blame the Brits, Politicians, Bureaucrats, Corruption etc. But the culture and diversity of India itself is the reason why it takes long time to bring solutions and implement them effectively.
It is not easy to bring change in a country with 200 languages, So many Cultures, Castes, Religions. And with the kind of democracy the people have been habitual to...It will make it even more tough.
The only way you can fix things in India is to wait for people to respond and force the laws, force the change they want. The good news s that its begun now. The history says it all Divya. If you observe the history and how the technology merged with Indians today...There is a definite pattern.
Apr 8 2013: Well said. Let me add an observation - technology adoption in India is super high - I guess that's because tech is applicable in the same way to and does not clash with any religion or caste or linguistic or regional considerations. I guess other changes take time mostly because of the 'unruly' diversity, if I may add to what you say. What do you think, Chaitanya?
Apr 9 2013: Absolutely Divya. Technology adoption is very high and also very fast. The most amazing fact is that people who don not know how to read whats in the gadget still use it very efficiently. They are just laymen. I am not sure if this kinds adaptability happens elsewhere. So the country doesn't lack anything. It has everything what a developed nation needs to have, I mean the talent, the intent and the resources. The only thing needed at the moment is a push.And that push is what technology can help with.Apr 8 2013: you understand india, and it makes you believe it is special. the thing is, every other country is special too. and despite all the differences, the way to prosperity is the same everywhere.
you present diversity as an obstacle. i claim diversity is more an asset. only from a wide variety of ideas we can pick the ones that work.
Apr 9 2013: Diversity slows decisions, that's the only way it hampers growth.
But it is an asset in countless ways. We Indians cherish that. If anything else, it makes life so much fulfilling because of the constant variety of ideas and thought schools.
There is a saying about India - Whatever is true of the place, the exact opposite is also true :D
Apr 9 2013: on the contrary. diversity speeds up growth. the reason for that is this: if we know what is good, obviously diversity hurts, because it means that some solutions will not be the good solutions, hence the average is lower. but we don't, and we can't know what is the good solution. the only way to find it is trial and error. and in such an environment, the sheer number of ideas is what matters.
btw that is how evolution works. and it came up with some crazy good stuff.Apr 7 2013: Well it is a funny logic, Divya, to have many children so that they can work and contribute, because many children also represent bills to pay, mouths to feed, in other words, they take as much work as they contribute.
I would still ask people if they feel poor. Some people feel rich, emotionally rich, if they have many children, even if they don't have much money they are rich in people and relationships.
Maybe people don't mind being hungry. At least when you're hungry you're slender, here in the states we have a problem with obesity, overweight.Apr 7 2013: India's economic development is one of the fastest in the world right now. But its too late. The population is 1.2 billion which is still growing. So the 4th reason is illiteracy. Adolescents should be educated about unprotected sex.Apr 6 2013: from the things i have read and learned the biggest thing is education that makes a difference a government funded education system almost forcing children to go to school and to be educated to the ways of the world and the desire to want change for the better and im not talking money but more to see the way there governmet and industry there has wronged them. i cam to this light from watching this farce of a war on terror our government is inflicting on other countrys for no matter how you want to look at it its just for profit because even just a lowly worker bee like me can see the only way to fight terror is through education and understanding
Apr 7 2013: Well said Daniel, I completely agree. I too think that education and awareness is what is needed. I think that's the way ahead.Apr 6 2013: Well, Divya, have people you know said to you, "I feel I am poor, and I hate being poor"? Then it might be your job to help them improve their life. But if noone has ever said to you they dislike being poor, perhaps they don't feel poor, or they don't dislike it. Perhaps you are assuming people feel poor, or dislike it, when they don't.
Apr 7 2013: Well yes, we are not talking about I-don't-have-a-car or I-don't-have-a-house poor, we are talking about people who have to go hungry for days, or split a single piece of bread among multiple family members, or those who take drugs just so that they can go hunger-less for days at a stretch.. so I think it is a real problem, not an imagined one and one that the sufferers very much realize.
Apr 7 2013: Well, Divya, I've never been to India, so it's hard for me to say. Do people have large families in India? Maybe you need to have the government control the number of children as they do in China.
I still believe you should ask people you think are poor whether they consider themselves poor, and how they feel about it. You "think" it is a real problem, but possibly the people you think are unhappy are not as unhappy as you think.Apr 7 2013: Divya, if you are talking to people and you find that many of them feel poor and very unhappy about it, you could also ask them what they would like to do about it. I don't know, how does the caste system work, perhaps that is holding people back. Here in the U.S. we somewhat limit the inheritance each generation can collect, so that each generation has to prove itself anew.
As I said above, perhaps the government has to limit the size of families. I don't know why, here in the states people naturally have small families, most that I know have one or two children.
Apr 7 2013: That's a very important point, and in fact the more educated families have like 1-3 kids, while the poor families have many children. The rationale is that while the well-to-do parents take care of their kids, in the extremely poor families, a very different logic is at play. They use kids to labor and earn bread for the family. Also, they are never sure how may of their kids will even survive for long (diseases, feuds), so they have ample to last their old age. This is for families that think. Otherwise, most have no hope and just don't care.
But the most important thing that you have said is that maybe I am 'thinking' this, and maybe the reality is off. And above all - we must ask them what they would like to do about it! Thank you for that. If you give it one word - empowerment (or enterprise) it is.
P.S. The caste system is on its way out. Me and my generation, for example, largely doesn't think of it at all. These days, once you are educated, caste doesn't matter. Schools are meritocratic. However, politicians do exploit it, and the poor, uneducated are suppressed by hooligans that happen to have a family name that suggests a higher caste.Apr 6 2013: Compare China to India, and you'll see an important factor. Indira Gandhi tried to control out-of-control population growth - She was machinegunned by her own guards.
Divya Jain
Apr 6 2013: That unfortunate incident was a repercussion of administrative emergency implemented by her.
- +1
And about forced population control - that will never work here. It is not just enough to have the right intent, the means have to be right too in order to be implementable in India.
So we don't see a straight reason or solution here.
Apr 7 2013: Thank you Divya.

Posted by stinenavy on 7/10/2013 4:50:00 PM (view original):Green for Perkins was made because OKC was miserable defensively. Green couldn't play a lick of defense at PF. Nate Robinson was only in the trade to make it work for the salary cap. He shouldn't have played for OKC, and luckily he was didn't. The trade didn't work out because Perkins had an extremely quick decline in what should be his prime years.
I don't like Brooks at all. His failure to try anything different, like sticking to Perkins and Fisher despite having more options on the team, was maddening. Almost any coach could have some success with Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, but I think sticking with Brooks is costing them playoff wins.
Posted by stinenavy on 10/28/2012 12:32:00 AM (view original):Harden, Aldrich, and Cook gone. Martin and Lamb in.
Figured OKC would find a way to keep all 4, but the few millions they wanted to save by not giving Harden the max undid it. Martin is what he is, a very good shooter and a guy that can create his own shot, but he's just an awful defensive player that has a tendency to miss a fair amount of games. He does come as just a one year rental though.
I wanted to see Aldrich finally get some PT as I think he has a some promise. His loss leaves a hole in the post rotation. I figure they're working PJIII as a PF.
Always liked Cook. I'm a fan of 3 point gunners.
Overall not a terrible deal, but also wait and see. Alot depends on how they use the cash they aren't spending on Harden. Also on how quickly PJIII, R-Jack, and now Lamb can develop. Haven't heard if the picks are protected.
Posted by stinenavy on 11/1/2013 2:53:00 PM (view original):I wouldn't say the experts are sleeping too much on OKC, but the attention has been drawn more towards the Clippers and Rockets in the West. Also the Bulls, Nets, Pacers trying to beat the Heat is taking up much of the NBA storylines.
Everything revolves around Westbrook's return. He should be fine when he gets back, it's just when does he can back.
No games on TV until Wednesday. I see from the boxscore that Steven Adams is actually getting playing time, and hopefully after Thabeet's suspension is over he's still on the bench. And after Westbrook comes back, Fisher should be watching the games from the stands, or his house, but he'll get another 12 minutes a game because he must have some lewd photos of Clay Bennett and Scott Brooks.
Posted by stinenavy on 11/2/2013 4:41:00 AM (view original):The team is built for Durant and Westbrook to take turns scoring while everyone else spaces out. Besides Reggie Jackson no one can create their own shot (Lamb might, haven't seen him play since UCONN).
It's a meniscus not an ACL. I'm not going to pretend to know what that is, I just know it's not as serious.
I know that's just a dig, but there's not a chance with Dwight and Harden taking max contracts.

Navigation on the Tennessee River
Putting the waterway to work for the people of the TVA region
Navigation on the Tennessee River made possible by TVAs system of dams and locks has a significant impact on the economy of the TVA region. Actual savings vary from year to year depending on the volume and type of products shipped on the river. However, shipping goods by barge rather than by truck or rail reduces transportation costs by about $550 million each year. In addition, to compete with water transportation, railroads need to keep rates low, creating roughly another $500 million in savings for those who ship by rail or other alternatives to the river. This reduced cost means lower prices for consumers.
Because one barge can transport as much tonnage as 60 semi-trucks or 15 rail cars, water transportation also reduces highway traffic, fuel consumption, air pollution, wear and tear on highways, and the number of tires sent to landfills.
The route of the river
Click on the links below to find out more about this essential element of the regions transportation system, and how it affects the lives of people in the TVA region and across the nation.
Until TVA went to work in 1933, navigation on the Tennessee River was severely hampered by shoals, rapids and the effects of droughts and flooding. TVA created an open river road from Knoxville, Tenn., to Paducah, Ky., and the regions economy continues to benefit today.
How the system works
From its beginning just above Knoxville, the Tennessee River drops a total of 513 feet in elevation before it joins the Ohio River. The TVA system of nine main-river dams allows boats to ascend or descend a staircase of quiet, pooled water and controlled current a continuous series of reservoirs that stretches the entire length of the Tennessee River.
Commodities shipped on the river
Many industries in the TVA region owe their existence in large part to the availability of the waterway to move raw materials affordably, which means regular paychecks for thousands of the region's residents.
Ports and terminals
A chain of river ports links centers of industrial activity along the Tennessee River. In many cases, the river was the catalyst for industrial growth at these points.
Economic significance
The end result is a reliable transportation complex that is inexpensive and efficient to use. Efficient river transportation of food products for processing in the TVA region lowers the price of groceries for consumers nationwide, not just in the Southeast. The effects of money saved transporting goods here ripples across the entire economy. Thats why the TVA river system is a national as well as regional asset.
Recreational boating
Locks along the Tennessee River waterway provide passage between reservoirs of more than 13,000 recreational craft each year.

Hi, My first post here. I have an Airco with a Kohler motor. It all worked last time I used it but when I fired up the motor recently I got no output. I plugged in a trouble light which lit and then died much like a capacitor discharging. Now it won't do that and I read 10V AC at the generator outlet. The only number I can find on the welder is W537125 and I saw somewhere it might be a style W1. I checked the brushes and cleaned the tarnish off the slip ring so far.
I have attached a couple of pics to help ID it. I would appreciate suggestions of what to check or help getting a manual for it.
Thanks, Joseph

[QUOTE=big mike;294061]Looks like my Roughneck.
Sure does look like it. On mine the throttle arrangement doesn't have the labels for Power & Weld and some of the internal electronics look different. I think I might have an older model than the manual shows. Thanks, I'll do some more investigation on the roughneck line but the manual you have helps a lot.

Hi Joseph, hopefully this link can help you out with the manual instructions http://www.millerwelds.com/om/o340d_mil.pdf. It contains a detailed description of every component and the problem with their causes that can disrupt their normal functioning.

Rocks Needed for the AGA Conference Workshop
Im looking for people that are coming to the AGA Conference, November 1st thru 4th especially those that are driving to see if they cant bring a few rocks for the nanotank workshop. We have 20 tanks so trying to get enough interesting and different looking rocks for this event. The Fluval nanotanks are only 7.9 gallon, 11.8 x 11.8 x 13.75 high so we dont need a lot of rocks per tank and they dont need to be that big. Here in Missouri we have one of the oldest mountain ranges in the United States, which means we have the St. Francis mountains (foothills). Any volcanic rocks have been worn smooth and all we really have is granite, rhyolite and good old limestone, which isnt so go for planted tanks. What Im especially looking for are some of those interesting type rocks that work so well in planted tanks. Many are made out of what my professor friend who specializes in volcanic geology calls Vesicular aa Basalt. He tells me flat out that they just dont exist in Missouri. I have some Karen Randall photos below to give you an idea of what Im talking about. If you think you can bring some of these let me know, my email address is: gwlange (at)sbcglobal(dot)net Even if youre flying in and have access to a few interesting rocks perhaps you could bring a tanks worth or two. Just dont go over that 50 pound limit for a checked bag or they will be charging extra. The weather is still pretty nice over most of the states so you could use this as an excuse to get out, enjoy the fall weather and do some good for your Aquatic Gardners Association. If you need an enticement to carry rocks to the convention and can handle raising rainbowfish eggs I might be able to come up with something for you

Westlake increases ethylene and PVC capacity at Kentucky plant
10:56 AM MDT | October 2, 2012 | Lindsay Frost
Westlake Chemical says it is converting its Calvert City, KY ethylene plant from propane to ethane feedstock, as well as increasing ethylene capacity from 450 million lbs/year, to 630 million lbs/year. The company is also expanding its polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plant at Calvert City—adding about 200 million lbs/year to the existing 1.1 billion lbs/year of capacity. Capital costs for the projects are estimated to be between $210 million-$240 million, the company says. The ethylene expansion and feedstock conversion project is set for start-up in the second...

Angry Deniers. A bunch of agenda-driven whiny clowns whose sole mission is to deny anything good that Tannehill has done and deny anything bad that the "gods of quarterbacks" have done.
NoActually no team made the SB in consecutive years during the last 3 years.
I didn't say we were elite in the last 40 years but in the last 3 unnder Rex we have been.
---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------
Poor excuse for you to use.
It has **** to do with them being a rival. I can't stand the Yankees or Lakers yet they've been elite.
you act like it w/ regards to the Jets. Teams like NE, the Yanks, the lakers you have seen win over and over so it gets numb, for the Jets it hurts you b/c you guys think you are on the same level as us so it is harder to give us credit.
Now the whole argument of Tebow ONLY taking over for Sanchez due to injury will be blown up, due to their owner. Gotta love that, geez, who DIDN'T see this happening? There is a reason Sanchez is the worst starting qb in the NFL.
If it wasn't for that ******** contract handed to him, he'd be bagging groceries next season.
NOW there are legit reasons b/c the O stinks and the QB is struggling. The problem is w/ the injuries there's not much talent around the QB.

From my experimenting, which is not over by the way, I found that this simple excercise was the most revealing.
You will need a huge magnet like used in a wind power project. The rest is available through normal hardware store or RS. I'm sure a good sized speaker magnet would probably work if you have a sacrifice to make.
1 small spool magnet wire (about 30 feet of 24AWG)
1 bulb from or for a keychain flashlight (two refills for $1 around here)
1 Neodymium magnet 1inch x 2inch and 1half inch thick (about $10 plus shipping and any tax)
Step 1: Get wire off the spool and re-wind it
The idea is to expose as much wire to the highest concentration of magnetic field as possible without shorting the wire in the coil. This is why we use magnet wire. It isnt magic wire that makes electricity, it is just that magnet wire has a much thinner sheath and its usually made of enamel.
The extra thin sheath allows you to cram more wire in the same space as you would regular wire.
The attached mov file is my drill coil winding jig in action.
it makes sure the whole contact is clear and its much faster, decent instructable though
f being the magnetic flux, When the amount of flux is increasing, you get the currant to flow in a certain way, when it is decreasing, it flows in the other way....
So you get an alternative current whatever the polarity of your magnet is...

you will have to replace the batteries with a real cylinder magnet of course which can be gotten here

Top dollar
Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor ($9.47 million) and kicker Olindo Mare ($2.32 million) were the NFL's highest-paid players at their respective positions in 2006. Zach Thomas ($7.29 million) ranked second among linebackers behind Baltimore's Ray Lewis ($8.43 million).
This is outrageous. Olindo Mare needs to take a significant pay cut, or get cut. Not even close to being an elite kicker anymore, let alone the best in the league. He is good at touchbacks, but much of that could be attributed to the soft balls he is kicking in the warmer weather. This is an extremely poor use of salary cap space.
Jason Taylor is the defensive player of the year, so he can have his money. I have a small issue with having a 34 year old ILB making that much money though. History has proven that aging veterans who get paid too much are bound to hurt you eventually. Thomas needs to take a few million off that #.

ESA Rosetta Fact Sheet, http://www.esa.int/esaSC/SEMJ09374OD_0_spk.html
Rosetta is the first mission designed to orbit and land on a comet. It consists of an orbiter, carrying 11 science experiments, and a lander, called 'Philae', carrying 10 additional instruments, for the most detailed study of a comet ever attempted.
Rosetta gets its name from the famous Rosetta stone that led to the deciphering of Egyptian hieroglyphics almost 200 years ago. Similarly, scientists hope that Rosetta will unlock the mysteries of how our solar system evolved.
Rosetta's launch was originally scheduled for January 2003 on an Ariane-5 rocket. Rosetta's target at that time was comet 46P/Wirtanen, with the encounter planned for 2011. However, following the failure of the first Ariane ECA rocket, in December 2002, ESA and Arianespace decided not to launch Rosetta during its January 2003 launch window. This meant that Rosetta's intended mission to comet 46P/Wirtanen had to be abandoned.
In May 2003, a new target comet was selected: the spacecraft was launched in March 2004. Rosetta met up with its new target comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, on 6 Aug. 2014.
ESA's comet-chaser will be the first to undertake a lengthy exploration of a comet at close quarters. After entering orbit around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in August 2014, Rosetta will release its Philae small lander onto the icy nucleus (November 2014).
Rosetta will orbit the comet for about a year as they head towards the sun. Once they have passed perihelion (closest distance to the sun), Rosetta will keep orbiting the comet for another half year.
As the most primitive objects in the solar system, comets carry essential information about our origins. Their chemical compositions have not changed much since their formation, therefore reflecting that of the solar system when it was very young and still unfinished, more than 4,600 million years ago. By orbiting comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and landing on it, Rosetta will allow us to reconstruct the history of our own neighborhood in space.
Rosetta will also help to discover whether comets contributed to the beginnings of life on Earth. Comets are carriers of complex organic molecules, delivered to Earth through impacts, and perhaps played a role in the origin of life. Moreover, volatile light elements carried by comets may also have played an important role in forming Earth's oceans and atmosphere.
During its trek to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, Rosetta made two excursions to the main asteroid belt that lies between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars. Scientists identified two target asteroids along Rosetta's path, (2867) Steins and (21) Lutetia, which the spacecraft visited in 2008 and 2010.

I'm trying to find a good weather software, and I've gone over the ones in our DC review here. Maybe it's because it's a few years old, but none of those are all that great.
Weatherbug is no good. It's too busy, and is ad-infested.
Weather Watcher is not freeware anymore.
Weather Pulse was ok, but I had stability issues with it. And it's ridiculous how the temperature numbers don't fit in the box int he system tray. I had a real problem closing the winow. I would keep pressing the close button and it would never close. So, it's a little buggy in my opinion.
I've tried a few others I've searched the web for:
Accuweather. It has a very nice, clean interface. but it's ad-infested (video ads at that!).
Tray Weather Forecast. This is my favorite of the bunch so far. It's small, lightweight, simple. Shows me the temp in the tray, and has a very simple forecast popup window. All the other programs are very busy. All I want to know is the temperature, if it's going to rain, and the forecast for the next day or two. I don't really need anything else. I'm not trying to analyze wind patterns and all that. I mean, really. It's fun, but I don't need it. So this program was the best for that it seems. Unfortunately, it's $30 which is ridiculous. And I don't think it's been updated for a while, although it works fine on my XP system.
So, I just wanted to express my disappointment with this entire genre of software. This happens occasionally. Sometimes, one company does their software a certain way, and other companies keep following suit, even though they have no reason to. They figure the other companies are getting away with it so they do the same. For example, why does every single DSL company offer annual contracts, and cable companies don't? There's no reason. Why do all websites that do hardware reviews have multi-page reviews? No reason. Well, there is a reason, they get you to click "next" more and it's better for ads. But you see how one company does it one way, and then everyone follows suit? And the part they are copying is inevitably the bad stuff. Nobody ever copies something that's good about a product. Only the bad things. Things that allow more ads, etc. Nobody ever looks at a program like FARR (eg) and says, "well, this is small, lightweight, free and highly customizable, yet simple. I will try to do the same!" No, that doesn't happen. However, if FARR had a big bar on top with ads on it, you'd see a few copycats also make a launcher with ads on top of it also. Eventually, people will know that most of the launcher software come with ads on top of it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Venkat "GREAT TV!! AWESOME SERVICE" NOVEMBER 29, 2012 Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality, customer service This is a great TV!!! Super easy setup, more options than I'll ever use, and wonderful service with it. LG shows that they actually care about their customers and how their product is viewed after the customer takes it home! A wonderful experience. Thanks, Venkat April 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by hook Good first tv felt not very good instructions how to use need more accessories still feel like not using to full capabilities because of lack of knowledge or instruction March 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dave6011 Great first HD flatscreen TV Having lived long enough with that old analog TV missing 1/3 of the image and with no detail, OMG, this LG was the one to upgrade to! Out-of-the-box perfect. Color, HD quality, passive 3D, Magic Remote Wand is better than I expected. Visiting family and friends would rather watch my LG TV than visit. As is common with most flat screen TVs, the built-in speakers are adequate but an LG speaker bar solved that problem. My LG TV came with 6 pairs of passive 3D glasses so even my guests can watch. Not thrilled about the included apps, though. Accessing YouTube through the included internet browser than with the included YouTube app gave much better control especially with the wand and a qwerty interface. The browser has a tendency to run out of memory and crash. I assumed the TV was Skype ready, but didn't know that you needed an optional LG camera to use the included app. The optional camera was such poor quality, I just stick to my desktop computer for Skype. Wish movie studios would turn out even more 3D content because the quality on this HD TV with Cinema 3D is awesome and the ability to connect wirelessly to my desktop media files is awesome. Did I write awesome twice? I meant it! February 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dleenhouts Should be good for another decade Really like the tiny bezel, setup was easy enough, the magic remote is a little finicky at times but once you get used to its shortcomings you can guess when it's not going to do what you want. Amazon Prime Instant is pretty good, but you'll want a decent internet connection. At first I tried out the 3D conversion a few times a week, but it's just too much of a hassle now. The biggest downside I can think of is that I need a separate remote to control the LG soundbar it's hooked up to, but that's more of a limitation on the soundbar than the TV. February 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Schus Looking Great! I've owned my LG 55in 7600 series 3D HDTV for 1 year now and am completely satisfied with its picture quality, features and performance. I also purchased a LG 3D Blu-Ray Player and a LG Sound Bar at the same time and am pleased with all the equipment. The remote control is unique and I do like the design. It's simple and very convenient. The Passive 3D system was a major reason for choosing LG over others that use the Active system. That and the known quality and performance of LG allowed me to choose LG with confidence. I have not been disappointed. December 8, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by PhilM It will break right after warranty is up! Was in love with this TV when I first bought it (sort of). Took me 3 returns to best buy to get one that wasn't screwed up from uneven lighting. When I got one that worked it was great. Picture was great, features were good. Now 14 months in to ownership (2 mos out of warranty) a pixel cluster has gone dead that results in a 1/4" grey spot on the screen with a black center and now lighting has gotten more uneven like the ones I returned and the bottom corner is always brighter than the rest of the TV. LG - GET SOME QUALITY CONTROLS ON YOUR MANUFACTURING! If you think you might have any issues do something about it before your warranty is up so you're not stuck like me! October 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cory47LM Great TV!! Awesome Service This is a great TV!!! Super easy setup, more options than I'll ever use, and wonderful service with it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jaleel US Model LM7600 Stopped Working-No Int'l Warranty I bought this product while I was in US and moved to India few months back for my work . It was working fine for the first couple of months then all of a sudden stopped working (doesn't power on). I've approached the local LG support and they say the main board faulty and this product is not covered for warranty outside US. I have called the US customer support and they say the same. So better avoid LG TVs if you're planning to take them outside US. It may work for a while but they are not designed for international use. December 2, 2013

Reward offered in credit union robbery
The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced Thursday that a reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information that leads to the arrest of those responsible for a credit union robbery early Thursday morning in Fort Wayne.
At around 8 a.m. Thursday, three men dressed in black ambushed a worker going into ProFed credit union, 6448 Stellhorn Road. They forced her inside before the business opened; two other employees were inside, according to a Fort Wayne Police news release. They robbed the credit union, tied up the workers and fled with an undisclosed amount of money. Shots were fired inside the credit union during the robbery but no one required medical treatment, according to police.
No arrests have been made as of 6 a.m. Friday.
Anyone with information concerning this robbery is asked to contact the Fort Wayne Office of the FBI at 426-5331, or during weekend and evening hours, the Indianapolis Office of the FBI at 1-317-595-4000.

I've found a new addiction.....this message board! Anyway, I thought I'd throw out some pics of a small welding trailer I built a few years ago (paints a little faded, but hey, I never claimed to be a painter!) It's a basic 5'X8' frame. Rails/tounge are built from 2"X4" tubing, crossmembers/ladder rack are 2"X2". You can see from the pics that the work table folds up for transport. I wanted something that I didn't have to spend an hour setting up and worry about it sinking into the ground if I put something up on it. Notice the tubing is up when in working position. I did this so small parts wouldn't fall to the ground as easy (ever try to find that last bolt that rolled off into the sand??) The tool box is a home depot special. Make sure you drill weep holes in those boxes!! The bottle rack is just a piece of 8" C channel that was radiused to cradle the cylinders with loops for a strap to hold them snug. It was built with a MM 210, Spectrum 375 Plasma, and a basic abbrasive chop saw. You may notice the lack of welding accessories. It's main use in life is as a job site generator, but I wanted the option to use it as a mobile welding platform as well. Enjoy! SSS

Assistant coach Andy Farrell says England are tacking former Scotland coach Jim Telfer's accusation of "arrogance" with a pinch of salt.
Telfer commented in the English press this week that Stuart Lancaster's team "are not as good as they think they are" going on to label them "arrogant...pretentious and...condescending."
But Farrell has dismissed the jibes as hackneyed cliches designed to get the Scots fired up ahead of Saturday's Calcutta Cup showdown at Twickenham, insisting that the English managment team have worked hard to eradicate any sense of arrogance in their camp
"I definitely don't recognise anything he has said," Farrell told PA Sport.
"People say this every year about the English anyway. It has stuck now. That is why we take it tongue-in-cheek. We know exactly what we are about.
"A couple of the lads have seen it and they are all taking the mick out of each other. They think it's quite funny about those who have been mentioned. There are a few jokes flying around the place.
"He's Scottish isn't he, very passionate about his country and he wants to give his lads as much belief as he can," added Farrell.
"He cares about his country. It is him trying to do the right thing by his own country, to try and motivate them.
"That is what he has always been about really - passion and stirring a few feathers up along the way. It is what you want, a bit of passion."
