Burning Symbols

The day that a Constitutional Amendment banning flag burning clears both houses of Congress is the day that I book a trip to Washington, DC, so that I can burn copies of the Constitution on the steps of the Capitol.

of gases and particles (soot) containing several toxic
air contaminants. These include many known or suspected
carcinogenic substances (benzene, arsenic and formaldehyde).
It also contains other harmful pollutants, including nitrogen
oxides. In the long term, repeated exposure is as dangerous as
being subject to cigarette smoke. The exhaust spreads into the

Firefighters said they contained the blaze in a half-hour.
Investigators remain at the scene. It is not clear how the fire started.

Penn State's contingent in the 2014 Big 33 Game was limited — just two future Nittany Lions were on display Saturday night at Hersheypark Stadium.
But both players, scholarship offensive tackle Noah Beh of Scranton Prep and walk-on kicker Joe Julius from nearby Lower Dauphin, played significant roles in Pennsylvania's spirited effort against Maryland, an effort that came up just short in double overtime.
The Maryland side won, 31-24, but Pennsylvania rallied from 24-0 down to force overtime on Julius' 29-yard field goal with 1:19 left in regulation.
Julius also made an extra point and missed two field-goal attempts — a difficult 51-yarder that was wide left and looked to be a bit short, and a 42-yard try in the first OT.
The overtime effort by the 5-11 Julius had plenty of distance but landed too far left.
"A lot of things go into a successful kick — a good snap and a good hold,'' Julius said.
"When you only have a week, it's tough getting all the guys (the snapper, the holder, the kicker) on the same page. But as a kicker, I get most of the credit when they are good and I have to take most of the fault.
"I just think,'' Julius added, ''it's tough for me and the two other guys to get it all together in a week, not as much as I will be able to do up at Penn State.''
The 6-6, 265-pound Beh played right tackle throughout the game and was consistently able to get to the second level against Maryland defenders.
Beh's presence in August could prove interesting for PSU, as the Lions are short on scholarship bodies across the offensive line.
Beh said he is looking forward to working with PSU offensive line coach Herb Hand and said playing time in 2014 isn't up to him. He was proud, though, of the comeback by Pennsylvania against Maryland.
"It was just a matter of making the adjustments at halftime, the coaches really got after us then,'' Beh said.
"They took it to us in the first half but we came back. We gave it our best shot and we just came up a bit short.''
The weather was ideal — no humidity and temperatures in the 60s near kickoff — and there was a current Penn State player (tight end Adam Breneman) and a former Lion (Seattle defensive tackle Jordan Hill) in attendance.
It was all Maryland early before Pennsylania got rolling on offense and defense during the final three quarters.
Julius was busy as a kickoff man and Pennsylvania's punter.
Kicking with the wind, a couple of Julius' kickoff efforts carried to the goal line. And after a shaky start punting (22 and 9 yards), Julius drilled a 46-yarder early in the fourth quarter.
"Missing something like that (field goal) in overtime is inexcusable and but I look at it as it just shows some of the things that I need to work on,'' Julius said.
"There was a lot of wind in the first half,'' he added, referring to some punts and kickoffs.
"Once the wind died down, I was able to drive the ball a little better.
"I'm looking forward to going to Penn State, I'm looking forward to the competition and I'm looking forward to meeting the group of guys.''

After the awesomeness of last week's Westen-Brennen II rumble, a letdown was inevitable, and while I enjoyed parts of "Fearless Leader," it played to disappointing type.
Detective Paxson remains something of a dud character (and I think that's on the writing as much as it's on Moon Bloodgood), so an episode in which she was more central wasn't as much fun as I suspect the producers were hoping. And for a character sold as being so tough and smart, Erik Palladino's Matheson made a real rookie mistake by letting Nick Turturro's Tommy (whom he viewed, rightly, as an untrustworthy loser) and his random new crew play such a big role in his next heist. (I assumed at first he was setting Tommy up to be humiliated or worse while he went off and did a job elsewhere.) And because Michael had such an easy time evading the police tail, we had an episode where neither of Michael's adversaries were nearly as potent as they were being sold as.
And yet there was a real charm to Michael's interactions with Tommy, to seeing Michael have to carry this guy while making it seem like he was buttering him up, and then to see him realize that both he and Tommy were better off if he turned Tommy from sap into ally. Admittedly, I have a soft spot for Nick Turturro due to his time as Flying James Martinez on "NYPD Blue," but I thought he and Jeffrey Donovan worked well together.
But the real highlights of "Fearless Leader" were the personal subplots, both the comedy of Sam suffering through an audit from what turned out to be the grown-up son of one of his old flames (though was the headache in his eye from the audit, or from Madeline's inedible cookies?), and Fiona's frustration at everything Michael has been up to, from screwing up the gig at the start to his insistence on getting back in the spy game. When you see what a soft touch Michael was with a guy like Tommy, you understand where Fi's coming from. He's not cold enough to be a spy anymore, not that he seems to realize it.
What did everybody else think?

It may be a great honour, a coup even, to get a visit to their namesake town by the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, but the town remains in the dark on what to expect.
© Canadian Press photo
Britain's Prince Charles, left, and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall are coming to Canada next month as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
Prince Charles and Lady Camilla will visit P.E.I. May 19 and 20 with stops in Charlottetown, Bonshaw and Cornwall, the government of Canada announced on April 11. No other details were presented at that time.
"We don't know anything yet," said Cornwall Mayor Glenn (Barney) Fullerton in updating Cornwall town council at its monthly meeting last week. "We will await some direction, I assume through the Premier's office, to find out what our role will be, what we will be required to do and what we will be required to have.
"Until we are made aware, there is nothing we can share on that," said Fullerton.
Prince Charles, as eldest son of the reigning monarch, bears the title of His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales. Through inheritance and the rules governing Commonwealth titles and heraldry, Prince Charles is also The Duke of Cornwall when he visits the South West of England where the region of Cornwall is located, with its administrative government located in Truro, the one city within that zone.
His second wife, Camilla, was given the title of Duchess of Cornwall when they married on April 9, 2005, to avoid conflict with the late Lady Diana, the first wife of Prince Charles who had carried the title Princess of Wales.

So says… Barack Obama?
"Well first of all he's right. Normally, you don't raise taxes in a recession, which is why we haven't and why we have, instead, cut taxes" Obama told NBC's Chuck Todd in 2009 when asked to explain how raising taxes during a deep recession would help with the economy."
The president then added: "You don't raise taxes in a recession. We haven't raised taxes in a recession… we have not proposed a tax hike for the wealthy that would take effect in the middle of a recession… The last thing you want to do is to raise taxes in the middle of a recession."
In related news, President Obama is now proposing to… raise taxes in the middle of a recession.
"I believe that the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, folks like myself, to expire," Obama announced Monday. "I'm not proposing anything radical here. I just believe that anybody making over $250,000 a year should go back to the income tax rates we were paying under Bill Clinton," he said.
And speaking of Bill Clinton…
In related related news, Clinton insists that Congress should extend the Bush tax cuts for all income levels.

A writer, Andrew Napolitano, whom I have not previously seen in The Leader-Herald, wrote a recent opinion article with lots of statistics but very misleading conclusions.
First, he states that 50 percent of households pay no taxes and 50 percent draw benefits or income from government. The conclusion would be that half of us pay taxes and the other half takes and pays nothing. The statistics may be correct, but the conclusions are the author's bias. The military, police, fire, sanitation workers, teachers, etc., all get federal money, and some of them pay no income tax, and many of our military members get social services because they are paid so poorly. Many of us get Social Security or VA pensions and also pay taxes. Many of us who pay taxes draw some income from government, and many of the no-income taxpayers get nothing from the government.
The author also does not make it clear that he is talking only about income tax. Almost all of us pay Social Security, Medicare and real estate taxes, as these taxes start at the first dollar earned.
Napolitano then shifts gears and complains about government eavesdropping on our conversations and watching us with its cameras. As long as government doesn't use these powers to act against citizens who are exercising legal rights, we are not complaining. We want government to protect us against crime and terrorism. If we don't have security, we have no freedom.
I have not seen Napolitano in the The Leader-Herald before, and if this is any example of his thinking, we don't need to see him in the future.

All My Riches For His Smiles - But How Much For His Kiss??
Et Reports-
"How much is a kiss with Rob Pattinson worth? Keep reading and watch our newly added video to find out!
The vampy leading man was auctioned off today in Cannes for the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS 2009 Cocktail Party. The bidding got so high that Pattinson was split between two bidders, who each paid $20,000 for the chance to meet, greet and win a kiss on the cheek from the 'Twilight' idol. Watch the video to see Harvey Weinstein introduce a blushing Rob. Movie mogul Harvey explains that all three of his young daughters want to marry the actor!"

Exasperated, 6-year-old Nate King stood on top of the levee and shouted, "Nothing!" All I had said was "Hi Nate!" as I rode my bike past on the road below, but I knew exactly what he was talking about. No ships, no towboats, no tugboats. Nothing. There was no traffic on the river.
Nate and I share a love of watching ships, boats and barges go by on the river, and each of us has taken it to an extreme. I made "view of the river" the primary criterion in my house hunt, and frequently sprint through the house and onto the porch so that I can see the name of a ship going by.
Nate? He lives a couple of blocks from the river and throughout the summer — and still on weekends and many days after school — he dragged one or both of his parents, Liz and Matt King, up to the top of the levee to spot ships.
Liz and Matt are responsible for bringing the binoculars. Persistently but not necessarily patiently, Nate will wait for a ship or a working boat to pass. He carries a pencil and a little notebook in which he records the names of the vessels. If a ship or boat is too far away to see the name, he will shout, with increasing urgency, "Try and get the back of that guy, Mom. Get that guy, Mom! Get that guy!" Liz will then use the binoculars to spot the name and call it out, clarifying the spelling if necessary, so that Nate can record it accurately.
"We've created a monster," Liz said. "You should see our map. We're pinpointing them on a world map." Nate likes to look up their flags, too. A few days ago, the Kings tallied their summer activity — 167 ships from 26 different countries.
He also likes to track the ships' movements. "If you want to see every ship in the world and where it is, there's a website called marinetraffic.com," Nate said. Liz added, "It's awesome. You can look at New Orleans and see all the ships that are on our waterway right now, what kind they are, where they're from, where they've been and where they're going. It's amazing."
Nate explained further. "If you click on a ship name and you want to know where that ship is, there's two things at the bottom saying 'ships under way' and 'ships anchored and moored.' You have to click one of those and the ship will show up.
"I love this website. Once you get used to it, you won't be able to stop. That's what happened to me."
Once Nate and I learned of our mutual interest, we started keeping each other up to date on what we've seen. I saw his mom at a Wednesdays on the Point and let her know that I had seen the New Orleans Express, piled high with cargo, headed downriver and passing right in front of the New Orleans skyline. Hapag Lloyd operates a fleet of vessels named for world cities. I was bummed I didn't have my camera to snap a photo for Nate, perhaps the only other person in town who would be beside himself with joy at seeing the New Orleans Express in its namesake city.
Liz relayed this information to Nate, and soon after I received an email from him, letting me know about some of his recent sightings. "Dear Miss Amy. We have seen a ship called BUENOS AIRES EXPRESS. This ship was as big as the New Orleans Express. We have seen a ship called the MINERVA GLORIA. It was so big that it ALMOST COULDN'T FIT UNDER THE BRIDGE," the message began. I was thrilled.
When I saw Nate at the Cirque d'Algiers bike race a couple of weeks ago, we talked for a while, about ship sightings, of course.
"One time, like a few days ago, in August or July, we were trying to look for this guy from Thailand. He was like giant compared to the wharf or the bridge, well he could almost, he was about the size of this," Nate struggled for the words to describe how big the ship was, then remembered that I would likely understand his language. "Have you ever seen one of the Minervas?"
Minerva is a company that operates a fleet of some of the world's largest tankers, and yes, I had seen a Minerva.
"He was about the size of one of the Minervas, and so after that we saw another ship going really fast and we were trying to catch up with it. Mom and dad thought it was a cargo, but I thought it was a tanker. When we got up to the levee we ran up and all we saw was the back of the ship and it was named the Minerva Gloria," a tanker, as Nate suspected. "And then we waited and another tanker came by from the same way called the BW Zambesi and then we waited and there was another ship coming this way," he said, gesturing to indicate the direction, "that was a cargo, all in one day. We just sat up there for one or two minutes and three ships came by.
"One more thing," he said as his group was being called to the start of their bike race. "There was one ship called the Yasa Ceyhan. We saw it way, way long ago, when I was like 4 or 5 years old. And yesterday it came by again!"
As I finished writing this, I checked marinetraffic.com. The Buenos Aires Express was moored in Buenos Aires and, I hope, at least one young Argentine boy or girl was overjoyed at the sight.

Q:Is this product good for 3week old constipated kitten?
1 answer
A:Cat LaxⓇ is indicated for the elimination and prevention of hairballs in cats and the dosing for this indication has been established for average-weight adult cats. The dosing and use of Cat LaxⓇ for constipation in kittens has not been established. You should speak with your pet's veterinarian about other medication and dietary options for constipation in kittens. For example, some veterinarians prefer to use Miralax for constipation in kittens, but the use and dose of this medication or any other medication will need to be determined by your pet's veterinarian based on your pet's diagnosis.

Comments about Dechra Cat Lax:
Cats lick it off my finger
Comments about Dechra Cat Lax:
Local vets/pet stores no longer carry this product, and the new ones they keep in stock are more expensive, and our cats walk away and refuse to take them.
Comments about Dechra Cat Lax:
I have only had this product for a couple of weeks, but my cat luvs it. He luvs the stuff so much it's almost annoying because he let's you know he hasn't had it for the day. The only reason I didn't give the product a 5 start is because I really haven't had it long enough to see if it actually helps his hairball issue.
Comments about Dechra Cat Lax:
My little kitty is an over-groomer (don't worry, she's been thoroughly checked by her vet many times; there are no underlying health issues) and fighting hairballs is a constant problem. Well, cleaning up the up-chucked hairballs is the real issue. After trying many, many brands, flavors, textures, she finally decided this is the one she likes and is more than willing to lick it off my finger. My other kitty, a long hair foundling, will eat anything, but even he was picky about hairball "goop." Fortunately, he likes this brand as well.
I was especially pleased to find this product at a much lower cost than at my vet's. I can buy more tubes at a time so I don't worry about running out. I also like that when I do loose my mind and forget to order, processing and shipping is so quick that even when I'm done to one tube, I know VetRxDirect will have me resupplied in plenty of time.
Comments about Dechra Cat Lax:
I couldn't get Lax'aire, so I finally tried Cat Lax. I am very pleased with it and my cat loves it, besides it wasn't as expensive as the other one. It came in 3 days, despite the holidays.
Comments about Dechra Cat Lax:
Ordered six because I kept running out too quickly, one-at-a-time. Product came quickly.
Comments about Dechra Cat Lax:
I have been using "Catlax" for a few years now. My Vet switched to an inferior brand. I recently purchased it from VetRX. Its even cheaper and still the fine nutritious product that has helped my Cat not have hairball issues. He loves the taste!
Comments about Dechra Cat Lax:
My Ragdoll cat is 15 years old and can only take Cat Lax. She has to take it everyday. �I order this product from Vet Rx Direct and usually will receive my shipment in 2 to 3 days. �The service is wonderful. �Thank you for keeping an old cat happy! :-)

Australia imports so much fruit and veg you've probably never eaten anything local in your life.
Better off examining the horticultural practices of China, Brazil, Italy or Vietnam ect since so much of their stuff winds up here.
The fact that a country with our resources imports in the order of 1.5 billion worth of food a year (vastly more than we export) is utterly fucking retarded.

« Belief in Angry God Associated with Poor Mental Health | Blog Home Page | Technically, Earth Does Not Orbit Around the Sun »
Ah, sleep: life's natural, blessed repose from the ardors of arousal. As a physiological necessity, we desire and crave it. Yet for so many Americans, sleep's caressing graces are unattainable. Modern society demands a strict schedule; rest is penciled in as an afterthought. In fact, the CDC reports that approximately 41 million Americans sleep fewer than six hours each night.
But it wasn't always this way. Anthropologists like Matthew Wolf-Meyer and historians like Roger Ekirch are painting a new picture of what sleep was like in our pre-industrial past. Back then, they insist, sleep was regulated not by grueling work schedules, but by the all-encompassing, dark blanket of night.
Chief among Ekirch and Wolf-Meyer's findings, discerned from meticulous searches through court records, letters, diaries, scientific tracts, and popular maxims, was that a sleep pattern known as segmented sleep was widely present in the United Kingdom and United States prior to the 20th century. Before artificial light was bent to our will, most people would retire shortly after dusk, sleep for four or five hours, awaken for an hour or two, then drift back to sleep again until sunrise. Our sleep patterns have only shifted to the current 8-hour consolidated pattern in the decades since electric light became readily available.
"[Humans] are the only consolidated sleepers on the planet," Wolf-Meyer told me in an email, "which leads some people to believe that early human sleep wasn't what it currently is." In his book, The Slumbering Masses, Wolf-Meyer argues that the current norm of consolidating sleep into one uninterrupted block is a social construct, primarily influenced by industrial capitalism.
He may very well be right. Sleep researcher Jessa Gamble has engaged in studies where subjects are (voluntarily) taken down into a bunker deep underground, far away from the cycling sway of light and dark. From observing the sunlight-deprived subjects, the researchers try to zero in on the inner workings of our ingrained clocks. They've found that we're inclined to sleep in many shorter spurts instead of in fewer, longer bouts.
In other studies, sleep researchers deprived subjects of the use of any artificial light. Under these circumstances, amazing changes occur, and sleep cycles emerge that are remarkably similar to those reported by Ekirch and Wolf-Meyer. At TEDGlobal 2010, Gamble said:
...when people are living without any sort of artificial light at all, they sleep twice every night. They go to bed around 8:00 p.m. until midnight and then again, they sleep from about 2:00 a.m. until sunrise. And in-between, they have a couple of hours of sort of meditative quiet in bed. And during this time, there's a surge of prolactin, the likes of which a modern day [person] never sees. The people in these studies report feeling so awake during the daytime, that they realize they're experiencing true wakefulness for the first time in their lives.Sounds blissful, doesn't it?

DEKALB, Ill. — Stephanie Skowneski and Anina Cicerone provided the offense and the Western Michigan University women's soccer team's defense did the rest as the Broncos defeated South Dakota State 2-0 Sunday, earning the Northern Illinois University Tournament title.
WMU (2-1-0) beat North Dakota 3-0 in Friday's tournament opener.
The rebound shot in the 27th minute was Skowneski's second goal of the season, and Cicerone (assist) added another score off a pass from Skowneski in the 69th minute. Goalkeeper Michelle Watson earned her second straight shutout but wasn't bothered much in the win — SDSU tallied just two shots on goal.
"Getting two shutouts and scoring five goals this weekend was huge," Broncos coach Suzie Grech said in a WMU press release. " This weekend shows the girls that they really have something special this year."
Next up for WMU is next weekend's Notre Dame Tournament in South Bend, Ind., where it will face Indiana and Tulsa.

The Young Consumers of Today Are the Brand Loyalists of Tomorrow
If you thought that the youth of America didn't have the purchasing power of adults, you thought wrong! Young consumers don't just have more disposable income nowadays; they've got the power to influence the spending habits of their parents as well.
According to market research group Harris Interactive, youngsters between the ages of eight and 24 will spend upwards of $211 billion in 2012. Naturally, this makes them an intriguing market segment as far as big name brands are concerned.
Companies understand that the young spenders of today will become the brand loyalists of tomorrow, and they want to know exactly what to expect from those spenders.
To that end, Harris Interactive conducted in 2011 what they call the Youth EquiTrend study.
The study polled over 5,000 young Americans in an effort to see how well certain brands measured up in terms of equity, emotional connection, and advocacy among the younger demographic.
In short, the study determined "which brands spark the strongest recognition and loyalty in the crowded, competitive youth market."
The results of the poll are broken down by category (there are 13 total), and brands are ranked within each category. The comprehensive rankings are available at the Harris Interactive site, but here are some of the highlights:
Sweet Treats: Hershey's Milk Chocolate Candy Bars is the highest ranked brand, followed by Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Hershey's Kisses.
Cereals: Cheerios is the highest ranked brand, followed by Kellogg's Frosted Flakes and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Sodas: Sprite is the highest ranked brand, followed by Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola.
Broadcast TV Networks: ABC is the highest ranked brand, followed by Fox Television Network and CBS.
Kids TV Programming: Nickelodeon is the highest ranked brand, followed by Disney Channel and Cartoon Network.
Social Media: YouTube.com is the highest ranked brand, followed by Facebook.com.
Computers: Apple Computers is the highest ranked brand, followed by Hewlett-Packard Computers and Sony Computers
Mobile Phones: iPhone is the highest ranked brand, followed by HTC Phones and Samsung Phones
Gaming Platforms: Nintendo Wii is the highest ranked brand, followed by Sony Playstation 3 and Nintendo DS.
Apple is leading the way in the "computers" category? No surprise there.
Hershey bars are still a favorite? That makes sense.
But it seems like Facebook might not be the number one social media destination we all assumed it was for younger individuals. YouTube officially has the reigns in that department, and if they can manage to keep it that way, they'll likely have an army of loyalists in the years to come.
And how about Sprite outperforming both Coca-Cola and Pepsi in the "soda" category? Seems a bit surreal, but the kids have spoken, and they apparently prefer their pop to be of clear variety. Of course, seeing as how Coca-Cola owns Sprite, one might argue that Coke is still "it." In any case, Pepsi is certainly going to have to fight for its meal.
And Cheerios rank higher than both Frosted Flakes and Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Looks like youngsters don't care as much about sugar and corn syrup as previously thought.
In their official press release for the study, Harris Interactive puts it best:
"Youth of today have spending power and they also have loyalty to brands. Some of this comes from their parents, but they also make their own decisions," said Regina A. Corso, Senior Vice President for Youth and Education Research at Harris Interactive. "Brands who tap into this loyalty when a consumer is a tween, and nurture it through the teen years, will have an extremely loyal customer by the time the customer is a young adult. Companies need to remember that consumers do not magically appear at age 18."
All things considered, modern marketers would do well to understand that young consumers tend to have a mind of their own.
What are your thoughts? Are the results of the Youth EquiTrend study worth noting? Are they surprising? Share your thoughts in the comments!

When he's not busy focusing on the nitty-gritty details of his written and visual work, he's normally listening to bad 80s music and scouring the internet for useless information on useless subjects. You can also connect with Joe on Google+.
This study is mind blowing, Joe! The Cheerios and Sprite finding surprise me the most. But, I could see parents buying them for their kids (I knew a few kids who didn't need any extra caffeine LOL) and then the kids coming to love the taste. I'm a Honey Nut Cheerios sorta girl myself, so it's good to see I'm right on target 😉
Thanks, Amy!
Yeah, parents probably have a certain amount of influence over kids' eating habits — especially younger kids.
And yes, Cheerios are always #1 in my book. I've always been a regular Cheerios guy, though…
No added sugars for me. 😀
A bunch of these results are surprising, but then again, the group surveyed is pretty vast. Even though 8-24 is only a gap of 16 years, the taste preferences and financial situations between an 8-year-old and a 24-year-old are distinctly different.
On a personal note, I'm very glad that Reese's ranked so high. 🙂
Yeah, I guess it kinda goes without saying that there's quite a difference between the preferences of an 8-year-old and a 24-year-old. It would have been nice to see the results split up between smaller age brackets (like 5-10, 10-15, 15-20, etc.).
Then again, I believe the "full" results are available for purchase through Harris Interactive. There's probably a more detailed breakdown in there.
Clever, Harris. Clever. You would tease me with that and then ask for money.
Regardless, though, you make a great point that brands will need to think about how to rank higher with the younger consumers. We're creatures of habit, and we develop those habits while we're young.
Great post, Joe!
ABC being the #1 network intrigues me. Part of me wonders if kids polled were lumping ABC Family Network in with ABC.
Though there are family oriented shows, such as "Dancing with the Stars", "Extreme Makeover", and "The Middle", most of the programming seems to be aimed at the older crowds.
I'm also a bit shocked that The CW, a network catered specifically for the tween market, scored so low. However, they haven't had a show as powerful as Dawson's Creek since One Tree Hill jumped the shark in season 6.
Yeah, it's puzzling that ABC was ranked #1 for the younger demographic. I guess the kids are all watching "Extreme Makeover" these days.
I think that Sprite ranking highest over cola is the craziest statistic to me. I guess when I think about it, I was more of a Sprite kid too, but now I prefer cola. I think Sprite is a little too sweet…maybe that is why kids like it more.
Great post Joe, very interesting indeed!
I'd imagine that most kids will eventually grow out of their Sprite — and venture toward the dark side of cola. Mwahaha.
Cherrios? Really kids? I mean they must be honey nut… But I still would prefer Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Hey now, let the kids have their regular Cheerios. Can't go wrong with the original! 🙂
Really interesting stuff, Joe! As you and others have mentioned, it IS a little odd to see good-for-you Cheerios beat out other sugary options and for Sprite to be above Coke and Pepsi. Personally, I'm a big Sprite fan, so it works for me! 🙂
I also agree with Mandy that an age range of 8-24 seems really broad, considering the differences in maturity and life experiences between the two extremes. I wonder if more 8-year-olds or more 24-year-olds are the Cheerios fans? 😉 Anyway, thanks for the rundown, Joe!
Yeah, I was most surprised by the fact that Cheerios is #1. Like Amy and Lauren mentioned above, the poll may have factored Honey Nut Cheerios into the results.
You're welcome for the rundown. 🙂
"Good lord, that's a lot of money!"
LOL. I haven't thought about that sketch in years! God, I miss the 90s!
Yeah, YouTube seems primed to reinvent itself pretty soon here. I'm curious as to whether it'll be a successful endeavor. Exciting stuff, though.
High-fructose corn syrup = 🙁
Whoever got me hooked on Coca-Cola, well, power to that guy in their advertising department. Even after democratically partaking in the "Pepsi Challenge" one summer at the Taste of Chicago, I still stood firm on my soda choice. That stuff sticks with you, that's for sure (as I'm typing this with a Vanilla Coke in-hand).
Part of the sugary breakfast cereal decline is likely due to the sheer amount of options kids have nowadays. I remember when Toaster Strudel first came out, and, holy hell, it was the best thing on earth…despite the fact it was like piping frosting onto a plain, heated Pop Tart.
Good reading, Joe! Topical stuff as always.
This is one of those many truths I feel I am better not knowing. I already get upset when I hear statistics on how babies (before they can talk) can recognize brands… this is just a higher level of that… Though it is a market, and a lucrative one at that, it is sad no one is safe. People worry about music and that all the harsh elements of the world influence our children, when right under their noses (from the day they are born) children are used as tools for companies to make money. Instead of children being children, they run around with $300 cell phones and even my 1 year old cousin has a tablet that he plays on. This scares me. What happened to the important stuff?
Cheerios!? Really!? They are so plain, I'm surprised they made the list…or maybe it's just all the moms that make the kids eat Cheerios, lol.

BROOKLYN - Members of the Goodwill Seamark Psychosocial Clubhouse were treated to a free comedy show Tuesday in South Brooklyn.
Standup comics from the Gotham Comedy Foundation cracked jokes and put smiles on the faces of people in the crowd.
The nonprofit organization sends comedians to hospitals, nursing homes, senior centers and social service agencies to bring humor to the sick, aged or lonely. The events are part of their humor therapy program.
"If we can brighten people's days up, hopefully, then it's a good thing," said comedian Giulio Gallarotti.

About 30 Amarillo residents got their first look at River Road ISD school board candidates during a voters forum Tuesday evening.
The event took place at Chaparral Hills Baptist Church in conjunction with a Rolling Hills Homeowners Association meeting.
Three at-large positions are up for election May 15, and four candidates are competing for those spots: Karla Anderson, Hal Hansen, Beverley Newman and Denise Price. Newman and Hansen are incumbents.
Anderson, an executive assistant at Amarillo Community Federal Credit Union, is making her first run for school board.
"I want to take an active part in our children's education," Anderson said.
The aging high school is a big issue for the district and requires tough decisions, she said.
"I know a bond issue could be expensive, but I feel we should support our schools," Anderson said.
Hansen, a programmer/analyst for Corporate Systems, is finishing a yearlong term on the school board. During that year, the board raised teacher salaries and health benefits, he said.
Hansen said he wants the high school to develop vocational partnerships with area businesses for graduates who head straight into the workplace.
"Not every child is going to be college-bound," Hansen said. "There's a lot of trades our children can prepare for."
Newman, a buyer at Pantex, is finishing a three-year term on the board. Her experience could benefit the board, Newman said.
"I'm already trained and ready to go," she said.
Newman said she wants River Road's TAKS scores to increase. And the aging high school needs to be addressed, she said.
"This is an issue that's been boiling for several years," Newman said.
Price, who works for the Amarillo Association of Realtors, is also making her first run for school board.
"The school has done an exceptional job of meeting the mandates the state requires," Price said.
Price said she wants to maintain school pride in the River Road district.
"Pride in our school district is one thing that I'm concerned about," she said.
The district also needs to adequately compensate teachers, Price said.

Man shall not live by bread alone.
About 100 local families receive fresh produce, canned goods, bread, coffee, cereal, pasta, juice, peanut butter, even baked goods, from the Warren First Church of the Nazarene Food Pantry every month.
"They get a good order," co-coordinator Donna Carlson said.
While the pantry is providing for families in need, it is struggling to provide meat.
"The food pantry is currently unable to provide meat products due to the high cost of meat," Carlson said.
In the past, one of the pantry's contributors provided a steady and sufficient supply of meat. That is no longer the case.
While large contributors like Second Harvest Food Bank and WalMart make sure the pantry has everything from cakes to fresh vegetables, it's hard to find meat.
"We deal with Second Harvest," Carlson said. "We try to get meat from them when they have it."
The pantry pays Second Harvest 13 cents per pound for any of its food. While the price applies to meat, there is not much meat to be had.
The pantry can also go to a store and buy meat to distribute. But even packages of hot dogs are beyond their ability to provide in quantity. "Our funds are not sufficient right now," Carlson said.
So, the organizers are asking for help.
"A meat donor," Carlson said. "That's what we're looking for. That's what we're striving for."
"Any kind of meat," co-coordinator Virgil Carlson said. "We're not picky."
Ideally, the pantry would like to find funding for or donations of 200 pounds of meat each week.
With 25 families coming in every week, "it goes pretty fast," Virgil Carlson said.
The Carlsons have been involved with the pantry for 20 years. "When we first started we'd get five families a week," Virgil Carlson said. "Now it's 25 families a week."
Families can only go to the pantry once each month, but they walk out heavily laden with food. "They get a lot," Virgil Carlson said.
"They come here and they get a good order," Donna Carlson said.
"We're just trying to help the community," she said. "It's just sad the way the world is. They are so happy when they get food down here."
Individuals and organizations that are interested in helping the food pantry are asked to contact the church office at 723-3960 or Virgil Carlson at 723-4098.

Last week, Aloha softball pitcher Courtney Coombs was voted The Oregonian's high school athlete of the week as she garnered 53 percent of the vote. Here's what her nomination said:
Coombs allowed just three hits and two walks while striking out seven in a 1-0 loss to Westview, then really hit her stride. In Aloha's 7-2 win over Beaverton on April 16, Coombs shut the Beavers down on six hits and three walks while striking out four. She then threw her best game of the league season on Friday, April 18, no-hitting Sunset in a 3-0 win, walking just three and striking out nine to help her team move into a first-place tie.
Now, for this week's nominees ...
Sarah Von Ahn, West Linn softball: The sophomore pitcher helped the Lions (8-9, 5-1) extend their winning streak to five and take over first place in the Three Rivers League. She pitched a shutout in a 3-0 win over Clackamas and went 4 for 5 with five RBIs in a 23-9 win over Lakeridge. She is hitting .375 with 13 RBIs.
Jake LaCoste, West Albany track: At the 10-team McMinnville Invitational on Friday, the senior won the high jump (6-6) and 100 meters (11.22 seconds), ran the anchor on the winning 4x100 relay (44.19) and finished second in the long jump (21-0 ¼). He is ranked among the top five in Class 5A in the 100, high jump and long jump.
Travis Sanders, Lake Oswego baseball: The senior was instrumental in back-to-back wins over Clackamas that lifted the Lakers into first place in the Three Rivers League. In a 4-2 win Wednesday, he hit a two-run double to tie the game in the third inning. In a 9-1 win Friday, he hit three doubles and got the complete-game victory, allowing seven hits and striking out seven.
Taylor Tibbets, Crater baseball: The Comets senior went 4-for-7 with four RBIs, and delivered a game-ending single in the bottom of the 16thto give Crater an 8-7 win over North Medford in a battle of the top two teams in the OSAA Class 6A rankings.
Brian Salgado, Gresham track and field: The Gophers senior set a season's state best by throwing the shot 56 feet 2 ½ inches Saturday in winning the Centennial Invitational.
Danelle Woodcock, Barlow track and field: In a showdown against Class 4A sprint star Kerissa D'Arpino of North Valley, the Bruins senior won the 100 meters in a time of 12.38 second at the Centennial Invitational. Woodcock also ran the anchor leg on Barlow's 400 relay team that set a season's state best, a time of 48.48 seconds.
Lexi Cheetham, Lake Oswego girls lacrosse: The Lakers' senior midfielder scored three goals to lead Lake Oswego to an 11-10 win over defending state champion West Linn. Cheetham has 14 goals and six assists through nine games this season.
Chase Kaplan, Hillsboro baseball, and Nick Auld, Newberg baseball: The two pitchers battled in one of the most impressive pitching duels in state history Saturday in Newberg's 1-0 win over Hillsboro.
How good was it? The pitcher that threw a no-hitter lost.
Kaplan struck out 11 and didn't allow a hit, but the Spartans (7-9, 4-5 Pacific Conference) couldn't muster any offensive support.
Auld was almost equally masterful, hurling a complete game one-hitter for the Tigers (4-13, 2-7).
Amy Hilger, Banks track and field: The senior represented Class 4A Banks at the Class 6A Centennial Invitational and blew away the competition, finishing with a first-place mark of 5-4 in the high jump. "It was fun to see the reaction of all those 6A girls watching this little 4A kid just hop out of the stadium," Banks coach Rob Frank said. Hilger is tied with Geneva Lehnert of 6A Sheldon for the state's best jump this season at 5-6, and Frank predicts Hilger will reach 5-8 before the season is over.
David Brosius, McMinnville baseball: David threw a five-hit shutout against Glencoe in a 2-0 Grizzlies win Thursday in Hillsboro. Brosius, the son of World Series MVP and current Linfield College baseball coach Scott Brosius, struck out 12 and didn't walk anybody.
Natalie Leckey, Southridge track: Day in and day out and meet after meet, Southridge senior Natalie Leckey is proving herself to be one of the Metro League's best hurdlers.
Leckey proved it again last week, racing to victory against Aloha and leading her team to a win in the process. Leckey notched a win in the 100-meter high hurdles with a finishing time of 15.80 seconds, and in doing so, gave herself possession of the league's top six times in the event this year.
While she didn't run the intermediate hurdles against Aloha, Leckey also owns the league's top two times in that race.

BOSTON - The Oakland Athletics may not be one of baseball's glamour teams, but they can make a claim that teams like the Red Sox and Yankees cannot.
They're in first place.
The A's make their only Fenway Park trip this season for a three-game series that opens Tuesday.
They have a slim lead in the admittedly unimpressive American League West, the result of some good young pitching.
Oakland also has momentum. The A's have won eight of their last 10 after taking three of four in Detroit.
They are 5-2 on a trip that has improved a previously sorry 5-13 road record to 10-15.
The Red Sox wrap up a seven-game homestand that has not been easy so far.
They remain in fourth place in the AL East. Boston's upward move was stalled by the Kansas City Royals, who took the first two games of the four-game weekend series, then lost 1-0 on Saturday.
Only Sunday's 8-1 Red Sox victory followed predictable form. The Red Sox dealt with some sour off-the-field news during that series as well.
Jacoby Ellsbury is back on the disabled list, and Josh Beckett could be there for a while.
Ellsbury's case has been puzzling from the time he collided with teammate Adrian Beltre on April 11.
The episode produced four cracked ribs. Initially identified as bruises, they were not identified as fractures for more than a week.
Then, after Ellsbury had come back and played three games last week, the pain returned and he went back on the DL.
As that sequence was unfolding, the outfielder expressed dissatisfaction with the team's handling of the injury, from the initially slow diagnosis of fractures to the return of discomfort when he resumed playing.
Notably, Ellsbury has since backed off his criticism. He now says team and player are on the same page, working for a healthy return at an undetermined time.
Beckett is on the disabled list for a lower back injury that will be evaluated Tuesday.
He's won't pick up a baseball until he can throw without pain. Without him, the club has restored Tim Wakefield to the rotation.
Four of the knuckleball artist's seven starts have been quality starts, but not the most recent one.
Wakefield was raked in last week's 12-5 loss to the Royals. Next up is Thursday's start against Oakland left-hander Brett Anderson, who has a dazzling 1.88 ERA.
Boston will not face Dallas Braden, who pitched a perfect game but is only 4-5.
The Red Sox hope Dustin Pedroia starts hitting, and David Ortiz keeps hitting.
Pedroia hit .213 in May. He finished the month on a 5-for-37 skid and got Sunday off.
Ortiz hit 10 home runs in May, his highest total for one month since June 2004.
He hit .363 in the month with 27 RBIs, a.424 on-base percentage and a .788 slugging percentage.
The surge has restored Ortiz to a place as No. 3 hitter in the lineup. That solves other questions as Victor Martinez was inconsistent in that spot before injuring his toe last week, and the Sox don't have another natural candidate to hit third.

The Bowl Championship Series national title game just ended and, as requested, I quickly filed my final Associated Press Top 25 ballot of the college football season. On top was Florida, which defeated Oklahoma, 24-14 Thursday night.
Do I feel good about the national championship pick? Not completely. Yes, the Gators reached the title game by winning the Southeastern Conference, the best football league in the nation, and performed well in beating the one-loss Sooners in their bowl.
But I'm not so sure Florida's any better than my No. 2 team, Southern California, which embarrassed Penn State in the Rose Bowl. Then there's the country's only undefeated school, Utah. The Utes started their fabulous season by beating Michigan in Ann Arbor, and ended it by outclassing Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.
In the last week I've received dozens of e-mails from Utah fans lobbying me, in so many words, to "right a wrong," and vote Utah No. 1. With the Utes failing to make the BCS national title game, fans clung to the hope of a No. 1 ranking in the last Associated Press poll.
Maybe some of my fellow voters will put the Utes on top of their ballots. I didn't, because I believe Florida and USC were better teams. But I would have loved the opportunity to see Utah try and prove me wrong. Until a much-needed college football playoff arrives, however, such debates will continue to be settled off the field.
Here is my full ballot:
1. Florida
3. Utah
4. Texas
5. Oklahoma
7. Alabama
8. Boise State
9. Oregon
10. Ohio State
11. Georgia
12. Penn State
13. Mississippi
14. Texas Tech
15. Iowa
16. Virginia Tech
17. Oklahoma State
18. Oregon State
19. Cincinnati
20. Missouri
21. Florida State
22. California
23. West Virginia
24. Nebraska
25. Pittsburgh

UPDATE: Passenger Who Fell From Atlantis Cruise "Intentionally Went Overboard"
UPDATE: The unnamed passenger who fell off a Atlantis gay cruise "intentionally went overboard," reports The Sun UK.Representatives from Royal Caribbean International say a review of CCTV tapes indicate the man, who has been reported to be British, did not fall accidentally over the railing and was not pushed.
The 30-year-old passenger plunged from his balcony on deck 11 of luxury liner Allure of the Seas in waters off Mexico… The ship made multiple public announcements and began a complete search of the ship, in efforts to locate the guest. When the guest did not respond to the pages and was not found onboard, the captain alerted the local authorities of the situation. Our care team is providing support to the guest's family and our thoughts and prayers are with them."
Another passenger saw the man go overboard at 7:10am EST and raised the alarm. The Mexican navy and coastguard have taken over the search while the Allure continued on its journey.
The man's family has been notified but his name has not been released to the press. Queerty will revisit the story as more information becomes available.

Well if this was suicide what an incredibly selfish way of doing it. Spoiling all the other passengers holiday.
It is like when people jump in front of trains and cause hundreds of innocent people distress and trouble.
Killing yourself is incredibly selfish as it is, causing so much hurt to families, friends and medical professionals, without dragging even more people into it.Feb 4, 2012 at 12:53 pm · @Reply ·
Atlantis gay cruise says the man "intentionally went overboard"? What a buzz-kill for the hundreds of passengers who just wanted to enjoy their vacay.
Keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
How sad when someone feels that is their only option.
The pain we live as gay people in a cruel world sometimes makes us do the unthinkable. Have compassion. I love him, I wish I could hold him in my arms. I don't even know him.
An old gay guy who knows loneliness.
If this guy reached a point of despair where taking his life seemed the only option then he deserves our compassion. When a person descends to such a black abyss, thinking about the consequences of his actions is often not even on the radar – he just wants the anguish to be over. Expecting him to take care of the needs of others (not 'spoiling' a vacation) when he probably feels no one cares about him is usually unrealistic. Yes, people do suicide as an angry 'I'll show you' acting out, but they are no less desperate nor are they less deserving of our compassion. How lucky are the other passengers to experience only a brief intrusion into their enjoyment than to experience the ongoing agony of depression.
Guess it didn't get better for this guy, despite all of the PSAs.
Depression is not a gay issue, so let's stop treating it as such. Suicidal people are depressed and mentally unstable, and don't reflect life's ups and downs, only the downs.
@Craig R: I agree 100%. I was at a hotel in Miami in 2001 where a man jumped from his balcony and left a bright red splash on the pavement below. While I sympathized with the man's problems, I and my companions have been plagued by nightmares and high-rise anxiety ever since.
strange because I'm just watching the news on the BBC here in the UK and they siad it was still being investigated! about the only thing you can believe that is written in the sun is the date!
What I can't figure out is why 4 people "lol'd" at this??
Suicidal people are dealing with mental illness, period. They are either temporarily, or for a longer period time, literally "out of their minds". When someone is truly suicidal, they are in a 'trance' of sorts, largely unable to respond to or to accept rational logical thinking and/or maintain emotional balance. It is not impossible to 'reach' or to save someone who is agressively suicidal, but it is often very difficult, and represents a longstanding and complicated pattern of personal unhappiness and depression…some people are just mentally not well, it is what it is.
I agree that it's upsetting and 'selfish' to inflict your suffering onto others by acting out in such a public way, but rational standards are NOT part of the suicide experience.
To be selfish on my part, I have a good friend on that cruise, he's worked hard and deserved a fun vacation, free from this drama. I hope the poor, delusional man's choice to end his own life didn't have to much of a negative impact on the other people's deserved vacations. Sorry, but they didn't cause this man's problems…with compassion and love to the people who really need it now, the people he's left behind.
@Craig R: Thanks for the lecture on selfishness. Obviously the individual was in such great mental distress that tragically he could not see another option besides ending the pain. That's what suicidal depression is. Lecturing us on how selfish he was is in poor taste.
If that cruise is as horrific as people have already reported on here, then I could see why it might push an already depressed person over the edge.
Gee, I can't imagine why he would off himself? He had all the benefits of the commercialized gay male subculture at his fingertips. Drugs, alcohol, partying, shallow loveless sex. What more could anyone want?
I cannot believe people are speaking ill of this poor disturbed man. Listen, I've been suicidal. You're not thinking straight. All you want is for the pain to end, by any means necessary. Manytimes, delusions are involved. You can't blame folks in that state. Please, just understand that it isn't about selfishness. It is about ending it all…
I don't know the person who appears to have completed suicide. I can empathise with his family and friends as a dear friend of mine completed suicide many years ago. I wish I knew what had pushed him to do it and I will live with that the rest of my life. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
Suicide is NOT "lol". Let's be empathetic, please.
He should have booked his trip on the Costa Concordia last month instead. That way he could have accomplished the same thing without taking the blame for ruining everyone else's vacation.
None of you know the guy was depressed or "mentally disturbed". How was it so easy to jump to that conclusion rather than thinking he may just have been drunk?!
People drink all night on cruises. Hell I don't even drink, but the last cruise I went on I was a booze hound. They hand them out like candy, especially the first night for free.
More than likely the guy got drunk, decided he wanted to do something crazy, and jumped into the water not thinking at all.
I highly doubt he survived and I also very highly doubt it was a suicide. If you're going to kill yourself you don't decide to book a trip on a gay cruise. Think, people…
Aren't be going overboard with the speculation and conjecture? Let's wait until the truth surfaces before sinking our teeth into another scandal. Whatever the outcome, this person certainly made a splash in the daily news. One would hope that it would not drown out the party atmosphere that is such a high watermark of these sorts of cruises.
" If you're going to kill yourself you don't decide to book a trip on a gay cruise. Think, people…"
Why not? I can think of a few reasons someone might do it that way… and that's not including the possibility he decided to do it after he was already on the cruise.
(And yes, those who clicked "LOL" should be ashamed of themselves. One vote, I could believe was accidental.)
@Oh, ok.: WOW, another expert on suicide!!! Were you his therapist? Did you see him jump off while drunk. I don't think so. Yet you can make such idiotic comments. Whether he jumped because he was drunk, high on drugs, or felt so depressed that his life was not living anymore does not diminish his personal tragedy and what his family and friends will have to go endure.
I just got off of The Allure with Atlantis. It is interesting to see how much different rumor has spread about this incident. I have done a fair bit of journalism over the years and I will add what I know, but be sure that I have NOT substantiated any of this. It just seems much more right anything I have read anywhere. Of what I heard on the ship this seems most true: The day of the incident I had lunch next to the man who reported the fall. I understand that only one person reported the fall and I know this was the name of guy because he was called to guest services shortly after the incident. He did not SEE the man fall overboard. He was smoking on his balcony early morning and he heard a splash. The smoking fellow was, I believe, on 14 and the man jumped from 11. He heard the splash and looked down and saw a man floating face up in the water. He then reported the incident immediately. The entire ship was then mustered to confirm that someone was missing and this took about 75 minutes. I then later heard from a person I know on staff that ship cameras show the man taking a "dive" off of his balcony. This fellow may have been distraught from something that happened on board or he may have had a grand suicide plan that began when he booked the cruise. We will never know unless the rumor about a suicide note are true. It is very sad, but the allure of The Allure may attract people with such delusions. Again, I cannot completely substantiate any of this, but it is what I learned on board. It was an especially sad day for the ships crew. The Captain's voice seemed to be shaking during his announcements about the incident, and a crew person who assisted in our muster area teared up when he heard confirmation of the man overboard.
I also just got off the Allure as a passenger. First and foremost, this is a very sad situation, regardless of whether it was a suicide, a drunken misjudgement, drugs or any other possibility. I for one am deeply saddened that we lost a young person in such a horrific circumstance. I have to say, I believe the captain and crew responded immediately as they were notified. The ship stopped and rescue boats were deployed very quickly- and many of them as well as the Mexican coast guard all responded. I saw at least 10 boasts or more including another cruise ship, all searching. They also very rapidly had everyone report to their muster stations to be scanned in for accountability. They gathered several thousand people very fast and had everyone out of their rooms within 10-15 minutes tops. It was no joke and I believe they took responsible action. As for the cruise continuing to Cozumel within 2-3 hours, that is true, but we were right off the coast of Cozumel and would have arrived there anyway within 30 minutes or less. I am not sure why there is a comment for LOL or any other inappropriate comments. I accidentally hit this myself non knowing what it was for. I am definitely not laughing outloud. As for the guy putting a damper on things for fellow passengers, maybe there is some truth to this statement. However, if he did committ suicide I don't think his plan was to screw up everyone's trip. And that thought never crossed my mind. I think that is crazy to think that way. The passengers I talked to were very sad and concerned. I wish we had been filled in further on the situation, but we really were not. I for one hope that he took his life based on his own decision and that it was not drug induced or that he actually fell off the ship. Regardless, I wish to extend my sincere condolences to his family and hope that they know there was a great effort to find their son, brother, partner, friend, etc. And despite some of the inacuracies that have been printed, there were several thousand people hoping, wishing and praying to find that man that went overboard. After all, we all lost one of our family members that day as well.
@GeoG: If you can make idiotic comments such as deciding it's fact that this was a suicide attempt, then I can assume alcohol was involved.
You don't know this person from Adam, you don't even know his name, yet you're already sure it was a suicide. Get over yourself.
I also just got home from the Atlantis Allure, and it was just a great cruise up to that point. Thousands of friendly people, no attitude, great vibe – no medical emergencies even. The comic Jim David gave a great stand up performance, "Chicago" was great and so were the other entertainers and parties. Then this happened and it came close to ruining it. Everyone was shocked and depressed. I spoke to some crew members who confirmed that the guy was a jumper – he didn't fall or was pushed, he jumped. He was traveling alone. It looks like he planned it – but again it's all speculation because no one knows. Just reminds us to protect each other, be nicer to each other, and support each other rather than be hateful.
@Oh, ok.: So, then… you have an explanation *other* than suicide for someone who "intentionally went overboard?"
@Hyhybt: Yeah, some people are daredevils. Shocker, I know.
perhaps he just had to much to drink – in an alcohol blackout state, suicide can just be spontaneous – something that might not even be considered when sober. for whatever reason, alcohol, drugs or depression, it was a tragedy.
@: I was on that cruise, and I'm not going to call someone selfish — far be it from me or anyone else to judge him or gripe about getting mustered for an hour. Your trip was only ruined if you allowed it to be so. A few years ago on an Atlantis cruise, an older alumni passed away in the gym. Death is a part of life, and we should all choose to celebrate the latter.
A few of my friends met him just the evening before and said he was wonderfully fun, and there on a room share program by himself. He seemed very happy, but anyone who's taken psyc 101 knows that doesn't necessarily mean a thing.
And as for those of you casting aspersions on someone you don't know (or blaming alcohol or drugs based on nothing other than your own ignorance), seriously just STFU. You don't know what happened, and the vast overwhelming majority of you weren't even there. The only thing any of us knows (and will ever know) for sure is that this was a tragedy.
I will only add that Captain Zini and the RCCL crew handled the incident with incredible compassion and professionalism.
@Oh, ok.: No, but you seem to know for a fact that he didn't commit suicide. Go get a phsych degree and then tell all the depressed souls contemplating suicide who come to you for help that they are just 'daredevils'. Idiotic indeed
db very well said!
He was my a very close friend of mine we had shared many yrs together. He was the most gentail, honest kind loveing man iv had the pleasure of knowing. His friends and family are I'n bits so to the judgemental people on here. Just think how you might feel one day, you sitting at home and you find out that your ex partner/ best friend ended his life and the pain which his family and friends are going though. Just think before you say things on a world wide site and the impact it has on others. He deserved this holiday like everybody else he worked hard for yrs I'n what was his curent job,flying for emirates. Yes it was a selfish thing to do and I'm so angry at him for doing so. I was a light of passion to have I'n our lifes and a shame he had to end it this way. He didn't take drugs because of his job so he wasn't a meth head. He was the best friend/ lover any 1 had. Just have some respect and just wish him well on his travil's. R.I.P Kenny my Irish prince. XXXXXXXXXX
Poor guy, he must have been really troubled to get to this level. so sad
@Tony: well said
The guy who killed has been identified as Kenneth John Gemmell from Bailieborough, Co Cavan, Ireland.
A photo of him was just posted in an Irish newspaper:
Prayers for healing to his family on the loss of their son.
Jus sayin, but lost several friends to suicide from "tina hangover"…crash following the high from an increasingly dangerous drug.

But nothing could wipe the smile off the face of Detroit Tigers prospect Hernan Perez.
The Tigers sent Perez back to Single-A Lakeland on Sunday night following their 7-6 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The 21-year-old prospect from Venezuela filled in for Jhonny Peralta for two games so Peralta could be with his wife for the birth of twin daughters Saturday.
Perez knew his stay with the Tigers would be brief. He didn't know he would play in both games while he was with the Tigers. Or that the Tigers would win both games. Or that he would get his first major-league hit. Or that he would score the game-tying run or catch a pop fly for the final out in one of the team's most exciting victories of the season.
"I'm so happy right now," Perez said Sunday night as he packed his things. "I feel great. I made the last out in the second win. I was here for two games. We won two games. I feel like the lucky guy."
Perez watched highlights of the game -- including the game-ending catch of the pop fly that closed out the win -- on ESPN on a television in the visiting clubhouse at Great American Ball Park and accepted congratulations from teammates before he packed for Lakeland.
Perez entered the game as a pinch-runner for Brennan Boesch, who hit a pinch-hit single to load the bases in the eighth inning but came out of the game immediately due to an ankle sprain he had suffered the day before.
Perez scored on a two-run double by Austin Jackson that made it 6-6. He came to bat in the ninth inning and beat out an infield single on a grounder to third.
"What a thrill for that kid," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "He gets his first hit. It wasn't exactly a Screaming Mimi. First hit in the big leagues, caught the pop-up to end the game. I told him just don't go back down there to Lakeland big-leaguing those guys."

G. R. Ricker, R. K. Vanderspek (MIT Center for Space Research), HETE Science Team
The HETE mission, successfully launched in October 2000, is the first satellite mission devoted to the study of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Operations commenced in February 2001. HETE utilizes a matched suite of wide-field gamma-ray and X-ray detectors mounted on a small spacecraft in an equatorial orbit. Mission operations, for both the spacecraft and science instruments, are carried out exclusively by the Science Team. A unique feature of HETE is its potential for localizing GRBs with ~10 arcmin accuracy (medium energy X-rays) to ~30 arcsec accuracy (low energy X-rays). These GRB locations are transmitted, within ~ seconds to ~ minutes, directly to a dedicated network of telemetry receivers at 14 automated "Burst Alert Stations" (BAS) sited along the satellite ground track. The BAS network then re-distributes the GRB locations worldwide via the Internet in ~1 second. Thus, prompt optical, IR, and radio follow-up identifications are possible for a large fraction of HETE GRBs.
HETE detects ~90 GRBs per year, of which it localizes ~15-20 per year. As of mid-October 2002, HETE has localized 26 GRBs; seven localizations have led to the detection of an X-ray, optical, or radioafterglows; four GRBs have established redshifts. Of the GRBs localized thus far by HETE, 10 have been "X-ray rich" events. In addition, HETE has detected ~25 bursts from SGRs, and >650 X-ray bursts. Highlights from the first 2 years of HETE operations will be presented, as will be the results anticipated from the extended mission.
The HETE scientific team includes participants from France, Japan, Brazil, India, Italy, and the USA. This research was supported in the USA by NASA contract NASW-4690.
