Holy crap, Machinist in Nevada starting pay $12hr with benefits
Just saw the story on 60 mins about the jobs situation in the USA
3 million job openings, WOW!...the problem is the companies say that today's average applicant does not have the technical skills needed for the job(s)
2 guys went thru 16 weeks of school and were offered machinist jobs at $12hr
I thought a job of this technical skill would at least start at $16 an hour
your thoughts?
Anonymous Coward 27120400
I saw the show too. When they said $12.00 an hour my husband and I just couldn't believe it.
That's a disgrace. No wonder our people are poor and suffering.
USA = Land of poverty and slave wages.
What people overlook is that this is STARTING pay. They immediately said a skill experienced machinist can make $60k. $12 is not great but it is after 16 weeks of school that they got for free. It is more than just saying you want fries with that. You make more as you get more on the job training by doing. You need to invest in yourself or you will never get up the ladder. Remember doctors make $50k for 4 years of residency that is after 4 years of college and 4 years of medical school. Everyone starts on low end of pay due to being a dime a dozen, competing with thousand of other applicants.
It is a choice to get the eduction that pays off or just do minimum and get stuck competing with everyone else. Sorry to be harsh. But, I went I college to learn, not to drink. I got through in 3 years and started off at 25k. Few vacations and a lot of studying was needed before I got paid more due to making myself a valuable asset that employers competed over versus me competing with others for A single job.
I laughed at the economist who quoted supply and demand, saying companies needed to pay more to get people to work. The issue is supply is dwindled by government paying people not to work but then keeps them stuck in dead end jobs due to people not taking jobs like these that end up paying 40k after a few years of experience and on the job training.
Yes, someone will comment that jobs won't pay $40k. A friend who never went to college but supervises the assembly of machines that run production lines will beg to differ. He learned not just his job but the jobs of everyone around him. So, when the company needed a foreman, who did they ask? And note, he makes much more than 40k now.
You start small but make yourself valuable via training and you won't complain about starting off at $12 as it doesn't last for long.
Anonymous Coward 21258549
Well, I would agree with you if this was not a highly skilled job. They are not hiring janitors, these are trained professionals.
My daughter earned $12.00 in a nursing home as a CNA with no experience necessary and a few days of training, not 4 months of intense schooling.
How can you compare? Same pay, one highly technical skill and one not.
They are not offering these people enough money for that machinist job. Not in this day and age.
Wages have not gone up as inflation has.

Visionary director David Cronenberg has created some of the more disturbing imagines on screen, from Seth Brundle's transformation in The Fly to the brutal naked-man fight in Eastern Promises He knows how to create cringe. However, his next project will not find Cronenberg behind the camera, but rather in front of it.
According to TVLine, Cronenberg has been added to the cast of Syfy's upcoming Jack Bender-directed Rewind, a sci-fi drama that finds scientists and researches traveling through time to prevent a terrorist attack. He'll be joined by Lost alum Jeff Fahey, who worked with Bender on that series.
Cronenberg plays a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who, spurred on by the death of his wife, sets plans into motion that may prove dangerous for everyone involved. Fahey's character will be the zen master of the group, providing what TVLine described as "the spiritual backbone of the time travel team."
The show is being filmed in Toronto and is set to air next year. Shane McRaei (Four Kings), Jennifer Ferrin (The Cape), Keisha Castle-Hughes (Whale Rider), Robbie Jones (Hellcats) and Keon Mohajeri (Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures) also star.
Reminds me of the TV series called 'Seven Days'
Agreed, but it seems like Seven Days without the 24 influences.

However I did... some research and looked online and found Mr. Transmission in Marietta. I called them and they said they would take a look at my car, and that I may not have to buy a new transmission. I got it to them and they told me they could rebuild my transmission which would save me money, and they also gave me a warranty on the entire repair. They were way cheaper than the dealership, and my car works like new again. I will definitely go to them for any future repairs on my car!VIEW MORE »VIEW LESS »

This review come six months after the repair was done on my vehicle I believe to be a real honest with yourself and honest with the company you have to wait that long to make sure everything is good. First I'd like to say they did an excellent job on my Jeep I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo it's an older vehicle that need special tender loving care and they treated me like family. My vehicle went in for a transmission rebuild the guy that makes the transmission they they they told me about the work that need to be done they gave me an estimate of time it would take and they they answer all of my questions. They also fix a broken seat in the vehicle for me they didn't have to but they did it from the kindness of their heart. The one thing that got me the most is I had a brake issue with that made it dangerous to drive the car and they located it and identified it and let me know I had to get it fixed or I would have hurt myself or even worse her my children and I think that's going far beyond the Call of Duty to help a customer out. I read few of the other reviews and I understand completely what you're going through but at the same time I'll be the first to say transmission work is hard yes I had to take my Jeep a couple times to get fine tuning on a transmission work or radiator work or whatever other work they did but each time they was honest with me and they always fix the problem no additional charge.

I recently had transmission issues, and if you've been there (or are there) - it's not a fun place to be. Like most of us, I MUST have my vehicle for work. After researching several shops and contacting each of them - Mr. Transmission stood above the rest. They were very informative about what was actually going on with my transmission problem, and worked with me to find a solution that would fit my budget to get me back on the road. They were helpful in getting my vehicle to the shop safely, and even provided me with a ride home from their shop - what a life saver! Josh and Alan kept me up to date on the progress of my repair, and before I knew it I was back on the road making money. Without their help I would have been lost in the breeze...

I went to go get my transmission replaced and once Josh started helping me everything went great. He values and respects his customers. He knows the business well and you can tell he loves his job. Josh will help you with what you need! Definitely recommend you ask for Josh if you go there, you wont be disappointed.

AWSOME EXPERIENCE!!! The staff at this place is DINOMITE! They work with urgency and the most respectful service not only for your car but also for their customers! I recently purchased a Suzuki sidekick from a private owner i took it straight to be serviced wih a shopp that charged me almost as much as i paid for the car and when i left there the gears were slipping. So no longer did i trust the shopp, especially after i told them to check the transmission. So i was desperate, angry and broke! In a last attempt i went to Google for answers! I found Mr. Transmissions offering a Free Diagnostic check. By this time FREE was all i could afford! I spoke to a gentalman named Josh who was understanding, knowledgeable and knew i needed help. Josh told me to come in and go from there. I showed up the next day my car was smoking and i was stuck here. Thank God, because i had the best service and knew i could trust them. They were very busy that day but worked me in anyway as i waited they fed me checked in on me and explained everything to me. Also, they had to fix what the first shopp messed up! They were Professional and and charged me half the labor and told me they could work with me in order for me to be safe and satisfied!!!😁 One HAPPY CUSTOMER!! Thanks Mr. Transmission!!

Mr. Transmission of Marietta GA saved me a good bit on my transmission repair when compared to the local dealerships. However, the rest of my experience with this company was significantly less than what I expected. I dropped my vehicle off at their facility on Tuesday afternoon and was told the repair work would take about 1-2 days. I did not pick up my vehicle again until close of business the Wednesday of the following week! During the days my vehicle was being worked on, Mr. Transmission never once contacted me to give me a status report or an estimated repair time. The only time this company ever contacted me was to inform me that the cost was more than initially quoted. Each time I called the company a staff member stated they would look into the progress and then call me back. This NEVER happened. While the cost of the repair was less than the competition, the level of professionalism and customer service I received was beyond terrible. Thankfully I had another vehicle to drive while this was all going on but should I have had to get a rental, I doubt the end price for all the work would have been that far off if I would have just taken this to the dealership in the first place. As an additional surprise, upon picking up my vehicle I noticed that an intake had not been reattached. Was there no quality control in place to notice that a crucial part of the engine had not been reassembled?

Took my car to Mr Alan at Mr Transmission on Cobb pkwy, because I had a transmission issue, Mr Alan quoted me $700 parts and labor, Mr Alan called me later with a new quote of $1400, or I will still be charged $600 if I decided not to fix my car since he claimed he already took my transmission out. When he was done working on my car he won't let me test drive my own car stating that I have nothing to worry about since I have a 6 month warranty, Took my van after the allegedly repair was done, drove it for 14 miles it broke down, took it back to the shop mr Alan kept my van for a whole week nobody called me decided to go to the shop. I left my van with a full tank of gas, when I went to Mr Transmission checked my car the tank was completely empty and they put in about 300 miles, when I asked Mr Alan about the empty gas tank and the 300 miles, Mr Alan said they needed to test drive my van for 300 miles to see what's wrong with it, took my van drove it for about 76 miles it broke down again. I took my van to 5 different mechanics, they checked it, they all said my van has a Transmission problem needs to be rebuilt, took it back to Mr Transmission again he kept it for an other week, picked up my van, drove it for about 16miles, broke down again, called the police on him. Lost my money my car is not fixed, he kept my van at the shop for about 20 days lost my time. Please please don't use this shop they are bunch of crocks liars con artists and scammers

We apologize for your rough experience, and want you to know that is not what we are about here at Mr. Transmission. We take pride in our work, and it is very important to us that all of our customers are happy. I just wanted to explain to you that your van had a mechanical and electrical problem. The first time you brought it to us we fixed the mechanical problem you had. However the second time you brought the vehicle to us it had an electrical issue. The company we use to fix electrical problems was back logged and said we would have to wait a few business days. We just wanted to let you know that we apologize. If we can further assist we will be glad to do our best to help you. Thank you for your business.
Clutch replacement performed and now vehicle is making a terrible noise. Upper radiator hose was not connected back so when I got home I had coolant all over the engine. They charge $175 to resurface the flywheel. Clutch feels very sloppy compared to the previous one. I will be taking my vehicles somewhere else for all future transmission work. I had a previous clutch replaced here and the quality of work was top notch. Not sure what changed since then.

We had our transmission replaced 13 months ago for $2,600.00. Eight months later we had to return the car for repair. Transmission still under warranty. Took 3 days. Four months later (July 26, 2013) we had to return the car again for repair. Transmission still under warranty. Mr. Transmission has had our car since July 26, 2013 and still can�t tell us what is wrong with the transmission, what they are doing to resolve the problem, or when we will get our car back. We have called almost every day to ask what is the status on our car - when will our car be ready. To date, Aug 12, 2013, we don�t know when our car will be repaired.

No one wants to spend money on transmission work. The guys at Mr Transmission made it less painful with honest pricing and good work. I waited a while to post to ensure I had no further issues with my transfer case leak. Great job, no more leak! I'll be back when my transmission goes out! Hopefully not for a while...... with hone

I took my 2004 Toyota Avalon to Mr.Transmission of Marietta completely convinced that I had a serious transmission problem. In fact I told them I expected it need a complete rebuild. I left the car and a few hours later they called and gave me the computer code they had read and told me what the problem was, which was not transmission related. Not only did they NOT try to sell me trans work I did not need, they didn't even charge me for diagnosing the problem. Highly recommended!!

Another transmission shop told me my transmission was slipping. Mr. Transmission did 2 test drives and found no problems. They also checked the computer and it showed no past problems. All of this at no charge. They could have taken me for some kind of repair but they did not. If ever, I need transmission work I will go to one place and one place only because they are honest and very courteous.

A HUGE shout out to the customer service and advice given to me by Tim Roos, Center Manager. I called him in a panic to get a quote last Thursday (after understanding I may be out thousands!) He calmly explained that it may not be my transmission at all but my computer and that it was a little known fact that Toyota just extended their warranty on computers to 150k (I have around 120K)They looked it over for free and suggested I take it to Toyota as it did look to be a computer issue. Toyota told me that the warranty stopped at 120k miles. I told him to research this, he did and got back to me, sure enough, it was. Long story short, if it weren't for Tim Roos advice I would have paid so much that I didn't have to. Anyone else would quickly shoo me out of the door and not given me a moments thought. Mr. Roos was so kind and helpful. There are not many people like this out there! Thank you!!!!

Has anyone tried using one of those auger-type things to aerate and turn over their compost, rather than turning over the pile? I have several big piles that are cooking away but the turning-over is heck on my back.
Twirl your compost?
Has anyone tried using one of those auger-type things to aerate and turn over their compost, rather than turning over the pile? I have several big piles that are cooking away but the turning-over is heck on my back.
I don't have one of those augers things exactly, but I have the stick-with-wings type of aerator. It has movable wings on the bottom that are supposed to open up once the stick is stuck into the compost, and then you are supposed to turn it to aerate the pile. Unfortunately, more times than not, the wings get stuck on something and I have a horrible time to pull the darn thing out! But as my piles are small (in diameter) as of yet, I can't really turn them any other way. Hoping to build some real (i.e. larger) piles this spring.
I have what Digger has but I have better luck with mine. It works way better than I would have guessed from looking at the tool.
I have that too and like it. I used to use a fork and that was brutal. The stick with wings works great, but does occasionally gets stuck and takes some effort to pull out. I am not positive, but I think I got mine from Garden's Alive with their annual spring coupon.
I don't see my compost getting twirled unless I suddenly develop some upper body strength. I turn it from one bin into another with a large shovel. And I do it rarely. Hence I have slow, slow composting.
Maybe I'll try one of them doohickeys.
I am very lazy about my compost also. I still should twirl more often, but when I do it is much easier than with a fork or shovel. Get on the doohickey bandwagon I say.
I'm developing an idea that hasn't come to fruition. I'm going to get a grain auger and cut it in to 3 sections 4' long and weld a gear on the end of each one. The two outer augers will turn to the right and the inner one to the left. This I will power with the electric motor that came with the old auger to a chain rotating the three augers placed off the ground about 4 ". This will be at the bottom of my compost pile and when turned on will auger/cut/mix/and push the lower contents out to the front of my pile where I can lift the contents back into the top of the pile. My fork will do this rather easily I feel with the chopped up contents off the bottom.
Steve when you get your suger invention made, show us a photo. Sounds interesting.
I think it's Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm down here who uses pigs to turn his huge compost heaps. He calls it the pigaerator system.
Out driving the other day, I saw one of those little bobcats for sale and almost did something crazy.

Obama Approval Falls Back Under 50% in Wake of Egyptian Crisis
Saturday, February 5th, 2011
After the GOP victory in the November 2010 elections, with a net pickup of 63 House seats and 6 Senate seats, the Obama Administration has been attempting to cultivate a moderate, centrist image to regain its footing with the American public. President Obama's deal with Republicans to extend the Bush tax cuts, which would have expired on January 1, 2011, and his personnel shakeups in the White House worked to improve Obama's standing with the public to above the critical 50% level by the end of January 2011.
However, in the past week, President Obama has now returned to the approximate level of public approval prior to the November elections, with about 45% of the public approving of his performance. The two main daily pollsters, Rasmussen Reports and Gallup, demonstrate this recent decline in approval, with Gallup measuring 45% approval/47% disapproval and Rasmussen showing 46% approval/53% disapproval. The mainstream media has yet to report upon this end to Obama's polling resurgence, despite the lavish attention paid to the rise in ratings. Rasmussen reported on this recent slide today in its report:
The president's Approval Index ratings have fallen nine points since Monday as the crisis in Egypt unfolds. Most of the decline comes from a fall in the number who Strongly Approve of the president's performance (30% on Monday, 23% now). However, for the first time since mid-December, the number who Strongly Disapprove has moved back over the 40% mark for five straight days. The Strongly Disapprove total had been above 40% for most of 2010 but fell to the high-30s after the president and Senate Republicans reached a deal to extend the Bush Administration tax cuts.
The major issue commanding media coverage in the past week or so has been the ongoing protests in Egypt against President Mubarak's regime. The inconsistent and highly publicized statements of the Administration about the crisis, from Vice President Biden asserting that Mubarak was not a dictator and shouldn't resign to Obama's recent demands that Mubarak "immediately" begin a transition to a new government, may have unsettled some Americans who were moving in Obama's direction in response to his post-election centrist manoeuvrings. Unfortunately for President Obama, it appears that his Administration's handling of the crisis may have again soured the middle 10% of the country on his leadership.
Democrats & Media Try To Shift Obamacare Opinion with Shaky one-day Gallup Poll
Saturday, March 27th, 2010
As many are undoubtedly already aware, the polling outfit Gallup, as well as all Democrats and establishment media, have been pushing a one-day poll done on Monday, March 22, 2010, the day after the House of Representatives' historic passage of Obamacare, to "prove" that American opinion simply shifted overnight to support Obamacare by a 9 point margin, 49%-40%. Anyone who has seen Gallup boss Frank Newport interviewed or read a Gallup release is well aware of the left-leaning nature of Newport's views. As will be described in detail below, this over-reliance on a one-day poll, taken on perhaps the most positive media day for the Obama Administration ever, appears to be an attempt by the Democrats and the establishment media to actually shift public opinion in America in favor of Obamacare based on a poll that is dubious at best.
The Obama Administration, Democratic politicians and the establishment media have been harping on the one-day Gallup poll showing Americans approved of the House's actions by a 49%/40% margin since Tuesday and up to and including today, as Gallup trumpets favorable polling to Obama on its front page asking whether Obamacare was a "good first step" or not and cable networks continue to discuss the Monday poll. Amazingly, the media and the Democrats continue to trumpet these one-day results from Monday nearly a week after the poll was taken while Gallup fails to do any further polling on this issue. This conduct clearly begs the question: why not continue the polling on Tuesday and Wednesday to do a proper three day sample? Perhaps the left-leaning Gallup obtained the results it and its left-wing allies wanted on Monday and feared a dilution of the outlier results obtained on Monday with additional days of polling, which, of course, would have enhanced the accuracy and reliability of the polling overall.
Many factors point towards a conclusion that this one-day Gallup poll is an outlier at best or an manufactured result at worst, as every other poll released since the House vote has shown Obamacare remaining unpopular with Americans, clearly contradicting the one-day Gallup results. For instance, Quinnipiac did a poll over two days, March 22 and 23, demonstrating that Obamacare remained quite unpopular with Americans, with 49% opposing and only 40% in favor (the exact opposite of Gallup's findings). That same Quinnipiac post-Obamacare poll showed President Obama at the low of his Presidency for approval, 45%, which is "President Obama's worst grades so far, tying his 45 – 46 percent approval February 11." It certainly defies belief that Obama himself would be less popular overall (45%) than his signature initiative which has been his primary focus for his entire Presidency so far (49%, according to Gallup's one-day sample). Indeed, today Gallup itself shows Obama's approval is down to 48%, again casting doubt on the legitimacy of their one-day poll on Obamacare approval.
Another post-Obamacare poll which casts serious doubt upon Gallup's one-day polling results is from Bloomberg News, which noted in its release of a March 19-22, 2010 poll that the final day of polling, the same day in which Gallup's one-day poll was in the field, showed "Americans remain skeptical" of Obamacare with "no meaningful movement of opinion the final night of interviewing, after the vote was taken":
Americans remain skeptical about the health-care overhaul even after the U.S. House passed landmark legislation that promises to provide access to medical coverage for tens of millions of the uninsured.
At the same time, most say the government should play a role in ensuring everyone has access to affordable care, a Bloomberg National Poll shows. A majority also agree that health care is a private matter and consider the new rules approved by Congress to be a government takeover.
The poll found the percentage of Americans who favor the almost $1 trillion 10-year plan remained at about just four in 10 following the House vote on March 21 to send the bill to President Barack Obama, who signed it into law today.
The poll of 1,002 adults was conducted March 19-22 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent. There was no meaningful movement of opinion the final night of interviewing, after the vote was taken.
Of course, the Bloomberg and Quinnipiac findings received little to no attention from the establishment media or Democrats, who were busy pushing the one-day Gallup poll in every possible medium. Also, Rasmussen polling, which was nearly alone in correctly calling the New Jersey Governor's race for Chris Christie (R-NJ) and came within one point of calling the exact final results of the 2008 Presidential election, found that by a 55%/42% margin Americans want Obamacare repealed, with independents favoring repeal by a massive 59%/35% margin:
Just before the House of Representatives passed sweeping health care legislation last Sunday, 41% of voters nationwide favored the legislation while 54% were opposed. Now that President Obama has signed the legislation into law, most voters want to see it repealed.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, conducted on the first two nights after the president signed the bill, shows that 55% favor repealing the legislation. Forty-two percent (42%) oppose repeal. Those figures include 46% who Strongly Favor repeal and 35% who Strongly Oppose it.
In terms of Election 2010, 52% say they'd vote for a candidate who favors repeal over one who does not. Forty-one percent (41%) would cast their vote for someone who opposes repeal.
Not surprisingly, Republicans overwhelmingly favor repeal while most Democrats are opposed. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 59% favor repeal, and 35% are against it.
Apparently Gallup would have us believe independents support Obamacare by a 46%/45% margin, despite Rasmussen's findings, from a more reliable two day sample, that independents favor repeal by a whopping 24 point margin (59%-35%). Finally, CBS News did a two-day poll after Obamacare's passage which showed Obamacare underwater by a 42%/46% margin and finding that "nearly two in three Americans want Republicans in Congress to continue to challenge parts of the health care reform bill." Obviously, when 2/3 of Americans desire continued GOP resistance to the implementation of Obamacare, it is spurious to claim that Obamacare has magically transformed overnight into a popular piece of legislation.
Despite four other pollsters directly repudiating the results of the one-day Gallup poll showing Obamacare favored by the public by a 49%/41% margin, the establishment media continues to this day to trumpet the one-day Gallup poll to "prove" that Americans now support the Obamacare package. Epitomizing the establishment media's extraordinary over-reliance upon this one-day Gallup poll, national newspaper USA Today used its entire front page above the fold on Wednesday to push the idea that Obamacare has suddenly become popular, literally overnight, based on the single day of Gallup polling. Of course, USA Today makes no mention of the contradictory Bloomberg results in its "objective" report on Americans' views on Obamacare on Wednesday. It appears that the establishment media and Democrats are attempting to push low information voters who are not paying close attention into supporting Obamacare by bombarding such voters with the message that Obamacare is now favored by most Americans.
Further, the Obama Administration has happily pushed the Gallup poll as hard as it could, with senior White House spokeman Robert Gibbs going so far as to tweet out a link to the poll while saying this:
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, amid the glee of the healthcare bill signing Tuesday, tweeted @PressSec "In the polling obsessed town of Washington, DC this will give the nattering nabobs of negativity something to chew on" with a link to a story about the USA Today/Gallup poll that said 49 percent vs. 40 percent saw passage of the bill as "a good thing."
Gibbs wrapped the Obama Administration up into the "credibility" of the one-day Gallup poll despite having specifically slammed Gallup's polling as unreliable on a day to day basis several months ago, calling such daily fluctuations "meaningless" then:
The White House lashed out at the Gallup Poll on Tuesday after the survey's daily tracking numbers showed President Obama's approval rating dropping to a new low of 47 percent.
Asked for a response to Monday's tracking poll, which placed Obama's approval numbers among the lowest of any recent president in December of his first year in office, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs mocked the reliability of the widely respected polling firm.
"I tell you, if I was a heart patient and Gallup was my EKG, I'd visit my doctor," Gibbs said. "If you look back, I think five days ago, there was an 11-point spread, now there's a 1-point spread. I mean, I'm sure a 6-year-old with a crayon could do something not unlike that. I don't put a lot of stake in, never have, in the EKG that is the daily Gallup trend."
He added: "I don't pay a lot of attention to the meaninglessness of it."
For the White House, it appears, Gallup's daily one-day samples are "meaningless" and comparable to what a "6-year-old with a crayon" would do, unless, of course, that one-day sample supports the Obama Administration. Then, as Gibbs tweeted out after the publication of the full, front page USA Today story on the Gallup numbers, Gallup's one-day sample should be treated as irrefutable truth that "will give the nattering nabobs of negativity something to chew on." Such explicit hypocrisy and doublespeak from the Obama Administration has gone completely un-noted in the past week by the media, and it falls to a tiny centrist blog such as this one to point out the objective facts surrounding this matter.
Indeed, most pollsters agree that one-day polls are less reliable than samples taken over several days because of the natural variability of the polling sample obtained in any given day, which of course is smoothed out by having multiple days of polling. ABC News, another left-leaning pollster, explains this "night to night variability" in its polling experience:
Our practice is informed by the fact that, in all our polling, we see night-to-night variability in party ID that appears to represent trendless sampling variability rather than actual changes in partisan self-identification.
Gallup, of course, did not release its methods in weighting, or not weighting, the data it obtained for its one-day poll on Obamacare's approval. However, the application of simple logic indicates that the day after the passage of a massive legislative package which has been a "dream" of Democrats for nearly a 100 years, the sample obtained would skew towards Democratic voters whose enthusiasm was surely spiking. Conversely, independents and Republicans, who both strongly opposed the Obamacare package before its passage, would have been more likely to avoid any pollster calls on Monday as the depressing news sunk in that the Democrats managed to ram through the massive legislative package. This type of self-selection bias, on perhaps the most favorable media coverage day of the Obama Administration ever, is again ignored by every mainstream media report on the Gallup poll.
Finally, as is obvious to anyone who was watching the news or reading newspapers or websites on Sunday night and Monday, the establishment media has been in full celebratory mode regarding the passage of Obamacare, with newspaper headlines screaming in 6 inch print about the "historic" nature of the passage of Obamacare as finally completing the century-long "dream" for such legislation. Monday was perhaps the most positive media day ever during the Obama Administration, with the possible exception of Inauguration Day. Regardless, such overwhelmingly positive, saturation coverage of the Sunday night passage of Obamacare by the media undoubtedly had an effect on those polled by Gallup on Monday. Despite this, Gallup chose to only poll on that one day, and thereafter the Democrats and establishment media have focused solely upon this one-day outlier poll while ignoring all other polls which explicitly contradict its findings, four of which are noted above.
It remains to be seen if this gambit by the Obama Administration and the establishment media to shift public opinion in favor of Obamacare via the use of the dubious one-day poll taken on perhaps the most favorable media day ever for the Obama Administration will work. In the history of the United States, never before has any poll, let alone a one-day poll, been afforded such prominence in reporting across all media sources and in repeated use by a national political party. What is certain is that the media is ignoring the other polls which all contradict the Gallup results, and the facts on the ground, such as today's overflow crowd at the tea party rally in Searchlight, Nevada, and the million folks who signed up to oppose Obamacare within 11 days on a Facebook page, continue to indicate strong opposition to the Obamacare package, notwithstanding the preferences of the Obama Administration and the establishment media.
Eight Day Obamacare Endgame Begins as Obama Job Approval Reaches New Lows
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010
After over a year of wrangling, and repeated pronouncements of an "endgame" from President Barack Obama, his senior advisors, and Congressional Democratic leaders at regular intervals from July of 2009 to present, the Obama Administration and Congressional Democratic leadership are settling on a March 18 deadline for House passage of Obamacare. As today's news sinks in, President Barack Obama is facing a low ebb of job approval in his Presidency so far, with just 48% (one point off all-time low) of registered voters approving in Gallup's numbers today and just 43% (all-time low) of likely voters approving in today's Rasmussen polling. Considering this slide in approval as the focus on health care intensifies, the Obama Administration's desire to have the big House vote sooner rather than later, and come what may, makes sense politically as the White House can then move to a popular jobs focus immediately even in the aftermath of a health care defeat.
As for the pronouncement that the debate is over itself, perhaps this claim should viewed with caution, considering the prior numerous pronouncements. President Obama got into the act on Monday, again declaring that the time for debate over health care is over, while attacking GOP opponents of Obamacare:
Congress "owes the American people a final up or down vote on health care. It's time to make a decision," he told an enthusiastic crowd at Arcadia University near Philadelphia. "Stand with me and fight with me. … Let's seize reform. It's within our grasp."
The administration is ramping up its health care push in the coming weeks. The White House has called for legislation to be on the president's desk at the end of March before the congressional Easter vacation.
Insurance companies, the president argued, have made a calculation. He cited a recent Goldman Sachs conference call in which an insurance broker told investors that insurers are willing to lose some customers through premium hikes because of an overall lack of competition in the industry.
"They will keep doing this for as long as they can get away with it," Obama said. "How much higher do premiums have to rise until we do something about it? How many more Americans have to lose their health insurance? How many more businesses have to drop coverage?"
Obama dismissed GOP criticism that his nearly $1 trillion proposal fails to control spiraling medical costs.
"You had 10 years," Obama said in reference to GOP control of Congress. "What were you doing?"
Washington is "obsessed with the sport of politics," he said. "We have debated health care in Washington for more than a year. … When's the right time? If not now, when? If not us, who?"
Speaking of the "sport of politics", six months ago, President Obama said almost exactly the same thing while also demonizing opponents:
CINCINNATI – In a combative Labor Day speech, President Barack Obama said the health care debate had gone on too long and accused opponents of spreading "lies" meant to convince Americans that his proposed overhaul would cruelly deny care to the elderly.
The president, speaking at an AFL-CIO picnic, said that "special interests" were determined to "scare the heck out of people."
"I've got a question for all these folks who say, you know, we're going to pull the plug on Grandma and this is all about illegal immigrants – you've heard all the lies," Obama said. "I've got a question for all those folks: What are you going to do? What's your answer? What's your solution? And you know what? They don't have one."
The president seemed eager to recapture some of the enthusiasm that propelled him during his campaign. A prolonged recession has sapped morale, he said, as have pundits who warn that "this isn't working and that's not working."
But his overriding message in Cincinnati was that health care discussions needed to end. In making that case, he was rejecting a Republican suggestion that he "reset" health care negotiations and start anew.
Obama said "every debate at some point comes to an end. At some point, it's time to decide. At some point, it's time to act."
In between the twin Obama speeches in March 2010 and September 2009 which demand an end to the health care debate while attacking opponents, the White House orchestrated a health care summit with the GOP, with much fanfare, where Obama and the Democrats spoke for about four hours and the GOP spoke for two hours about areas of agreement on health care reform. Many of the points of agreement were outlined on this site before the summit. At the end of the summit, Obama promised to work with Republicans on those points of agreement for "a months time or a few weeks time or six weeks time" before pushing through a partisan Democratic plan:
Obama says there probably won't be another summit due to the time it requires, but says "we cannot have another year-long debate about this."
"The question that I'm going to ask myself and I ask of all of you is, 'Is there enough serious effort that in a months time or a few weeks time or six weeks time, we could actually decide something?' And if we can't, I think we've got to go ahead and make some decisions and then that's what elections are for."
Just six days after the President's health care summit, Obama ended any hope of a bipartisan deal by "calling for an 'up or down vote' within weeks under rules denying Republicans the ability to kill the bill with mere talk" according to the AP.
With all of the political back and forth behind us, now Americans can focus on what will amount to one of the most important votes in the House of Representatives in American history, set to take place not later than eight days from today. Folks on both sides of the debate, for or against Obamacare, should make their views known to their Congressperson by calling, mailing, emailing or otherwise communicating with their local representatives. Folks who are looking to support Obamacare can look here for numbers of to call and other information. Folks who are looking to oppose Obamacare can look here for numbers to call and other information. We are in a truly historic period over the next week or so and all Americans should pay attention and make their views known.

PLANO, TX-Closing its sixth commercial real estate transaction under its equity investment program, Transwestern Investment Management (TIM) and State Farm Life Insurance Co. bought the 379,404-square-foot 5320 Legacy Drive, located at the Campus at Legacy. With this closing, the partners claim a class A office asset that is 100% leased to Denbury Resources, which took down the space through a long-term lease in 2010.
Collin Central Appraisal District notes that the office building's seller is Spear Street Capital of San Francisco. The tax district assesses the asset at $53 million, though the sales price was not readily available.
According to TIM president Laurie Dotter, CBRE widely marketed the asset, and it came to the attention of Collin Comer, TIM's managing director of national acquisitions. "He and his team are constantly on the lookout for assets that fit our criteria," Dotter explains. "He has a good network and relationship with all the investment sales teams, and he's looking for deals brought to the market by all." Jonathan Napper, TIM's vice president, acquisitions, also helped get the CRE transaction closed.
This is not to say that TIM and State Farm are going to like every single deal that comes down the pike. Dotter tells GlobeSt.com that, for this particular equity program, the partnership is looking for core assets in outstanding locations in desireable submarkets, that contain high-quality tenants. "We aren't necessarily going to New York or the very heated markets, but we want the best-in-class submarkets in major metropolitan areas that have experienced job growth," she adds.
Late last year, TIM and State Farm acquired the 260,000-square-foot 198 Inverness in Englewood, CO, a suburb of Denver. That office building is the headquarters of Catholic Health Initiatives which, much like Denbury did with 5320 Legacy, signed a long-term lease. "If you look at Inverness in Denver and the Denbury building, they're very similar; both are leased to investment-grade credit tenants," Dotter comments. The partners also acquired some multifamily properties as well.
5320 Legacy was originally part of the old EDS campus, which was sold several years ago to KDC. According to the CCAD, KDC sold the asset to Spear Street in 2007.
Dotter says State Farm and TIM have several assets in the pipeline that are ideal for acquisition. But she's a realist; there is a lot of competition out there for core assets these days. This is the case, especially in the Legacy submarket, located approximately 20 miles due north of Dallas' CBD. "You don't know if you're going to get assets these days because it's competitive," Dotter comments. "But State Farm always does what they say they're going to do, and that's a definite advantage of working with them."

I am using java.io.DataInputStream and java.io.DataOutputStream to read/write files. However i need to modify a file now, which will require me to insert information into the middle of a previous file.
I don't see any methods of doing so in the DataOutputStream. Is there a way to 'insert' into a middle of a file easily on bb, or do i have to do custom -copy/overwrite/append stuff?
Best Regards.
Solved! Go to Solution.
If it is a file you can call FileConnection.openOutputStream(long byteOffset). Otherwise you need to make a custom class.
You can seek into the file, but writing at that position will clobber what's there. This desired non-destructive file insert is normally not something that is supported usually elsewhere as well.
02-22-2010 04:18 PM - edited 02-22-2010 04:21 PM
Yeah, that wasn't what i needed exactly but after some more designing i came up with another method of doing it. The problem now is that i need to be able to seek within the file forward and backwards. I am using FileConnector and DataInputStream, i can skip bytes to seek forward...but there doesn't seem to be any way to seek backwards. Is there another class i can use for this? Opening and closing a file a few times just so that i can seek from the beginning is not a good idea....:/
Yeah, i know that non-destructive insert isn't usually support elsewhere either but it would be useful...though inherently slow... A/w see the above comments that i made, any ideas how to seek backwards? The DataINputStream doesn't allow that....
5.0 has Seekable, but the underlying streams have to support it.
Is there another interface that can be used to access files (not necesseraly as a stream), and would allow seekable features (4.6) ?
You could do it yourself, but it would be more difficult. You could buffer the file data yourself, but not knowing necessarily where to buffer to or how big to buffer could lead to reconsidering just reopening streams. Depends on your situation.
Yeah, thats my plan. I'll just read the data into a buffer and parse that....the sizes are predictable so shouldn't be a big perf hit. Too bad that something this basic is missing....
I don't think what you suggest is possible with any of the standard APIs OpenOutputStream (int offset) would overwrite, not replace (to the best of my understanding of these things). I wish you luck, but I don't believe you'll get out of this without reading the whole file into a local source first. On that note, you'll have to be pretty picky about what structure you use if you're manipulating large files. Using byte [] would be efficient (relatively), but you wouldn't be able to insert mid-file very easily. Vectors are great for inserting, but everything needs to be explicitly parsed, and they take up more space and processing power than arrays.
Good luck!

Yea, as others have said, the openOutputStream is destructive. Sorry if that didn't help.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The platinum-selling electronic-don't call him New Age-instrumentalist Yanni tends to inspire strong opinions, and this ambitious autobiography, which Yanni calls "a book about a life of challenges, lessons, dreams, and obstacles," is unlikely to change any of them. Yanni, with the help of Rensin (who similarly aided Tim Allen and Chris Rock with their memoirs), adopts a conversational, occasionally almost condescending tone, full of tics like "Mind you" and "Can you imagine?". He recounts his "idyllic" childhood in a Greek village; his high school years as a champion swimmer; his time in rock bands (complete with groupies and cocaine); his nine-year love affair with Linda Evans; his near-breakdown; and his determination to make and market his music. Throughout, his plainspokenness is jarringly juxtaposed with show-offy references to the likes of Socrates and Schopenhauer. His claims that anyone could match his success if only he or she tried hard enough, perhaps meant to be inspirational, come off instead as preachy. In his acknowledgments, Yanni writes that "words have never been my medium"; fortunately, his fans love him for his music.
Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
About the Author
Yanni was born in 1954, in Kalamata, Greece. He moved the U.S. and graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1976 with a major in psychology. He taught himself music, and has become one of the world's best-loved musician/composers, with global sales of over 20 million albums, and more than 35 Gold and Platinum album awards. He lives in Florida.
Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
I also got insight into his relationship with Linda Evans. Linda participated in this book.
In the end, I now look at Yanni a little differently. When I listen to his music, I "hear" more -- I know his story from whence these songs come.
Yanni fans will not be disappointed with this book. It's a very candid and honest account of Yanni's life.
I can't imagine anyone other than a Yanni fan or one who appreciates the kind of music and artistry he's created caring to read this book though.
The book is magnificent, full of events, stories & lessons... Yanni is very open and honest, discussing most of his life details. The book is very surprising infact in several aspects.
It's inspiring, emotional, interesting, uplifting, optimistic & detailed.
I recommend this book to all, whether fans or non-Yanni fans, since the book mainly focuses on life aspects, and how Yanni dealt with such situations. It's like talking about his journey with life, rather than focusing on his music only & himself.
Personally, I learnt many things about the man, life, and success, which shall benefit anyone who reads it. Yanni talks about his experiences, music, creativity, childhood, relations, concerts, achievements, his parents, Greece, etc
I see YANNI IN WORDS as a book about Life, rather than just a simple biography of an artist. Simply, you live it... :)
Way to go Yanni, another great master piece of work! ;)
What are really amazing, though, are the stories of the travails that Yanni experienced while getting his music out to the many millions who now listen to it. It wasn't easy. The story behind the Acropolis concert, and then the tales from the Taj Mahal and Forbidden City concerts is worth the price of admission. Both the good and the bad!
But you also have the story of Yanni discovering true, deep, and sadly rare love, and losing it. You have the driven nature, the obsession with making the music perfect, and giving the gift of his wonderful music to the masses, and the ensuing breakdown. You easily understand and appreciate the ties that bind, the family love and support, and the friendships that Yanni has formed over the years.
This is an inspirational book. It does not come close to a masterpiece--you should listen to the music for masterpieces. But it is a good book for those fans that want to know more, or even those who don't much like the music but enjoy stories of hardship, perseverance and success.

Sports BLT: Utah State's D.J. Ransom claims Top Fan title
"I think it's a very positive impact. Players see us fans show up early and often. It gives them a boost and emotional support. It gives them something to play for. A lot of times, especially in the Spectrum, that energy helps them play better. That, in turn, gives us fans something to cheer about. It's kind of a win-win situation."
So, what does Ransom think is the best thing about being a Utah State fan?
"I've said that it's a lot of fun, and it is. It gives me something to look forward to every week, especially during the school year," he told me. "It gets me out of my apartment for a change, and I can go and be with my friends. It's the excitement of watching the Aggies play and, often, win."
As the winner of the Sports BLT Top Fan Contest, Ransom will receive a $200 gift card to Fanzz. He can't wait to add to his already extensive collection of Aggie blue.
"I don't think I have enough. I have quite a few shirts. I was about to go to Macey's or Locker 42 to get more shirts. ... I can't have enough. My family and friends make fun of me for it, but I love Aggie blue. It's my new favorite color."
Speaking of his family, not everyone in his family is as fanatical as Ransom is.
"My parents went here a few years back. What drew me here is I have a lot of family who are Aggie fans. But my little brothers aren't as much. They think I'm absolutely nuts. All the time and energy I put into being a fan, they just can't understand it. I take them to games, they think it's fun, but they don't understand why I go to every game."
Ransom also had some words of wisdom for those who want to become elite fans:
"Just stay loud, stay rowdy, have fun at the games. Let yourself be seen, and come have a good time."
Ransom also wanted to make sure to give a shout-out to Chris Campbell, the man who helped him make his winning video entry. "He's my roommate and one of my best friends. The man is an artistic genius when it comes to video and video editing. I have a lot to thank him for in this video. I could not have done it without him."
Congratulations once again to Ransom. He has earned his place as the state of Utah's Top Fan.
