Shuttlelift hosted a special Service School for Shuttlelift dealers and field service technicians at its manufacturing facility in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. The school sessions, held on March 25-27 and April 1-3, were so successful, that the crane manufacturer has added a third class later this year.
The limited class size, 10 students plus interpreters, allows Shuttlelift to focus more attention on the curriculum and to increase personal one-on-one instruction. This philosophy, said Richard Huston, Shuttlelift CustomerCare service technician, is already proving to be beneficial to all involved parties.
"We developed these classes to better train and empower the field service technicians, enabling them to be even more self-sufficient while on location," Huston explained. "While we are always willing and available to help, it's crucial for everyone involved if our on-site technicians can resolve issues quickly."
Indeed, an out-of-service machine means costly downtime for the facility. The longer a facility has to wait for assistance, the longer its operation is at a standstill; not only is that an unwelcome development for customers and employees, it's heavy hit to the business's bottom line.
Huston noted that it's unusual for field service technicians to have factory-caliber knowledge of complex electrical systems. That's why developing this knowledge base among Shuttlelift's global corps of technicians is a critical element of the Service School.
"We know that every minute of downtime is a critical minute of lost revenue, diminished customer satisfaction and missed opportunities," he said. "So our goal is to send technicians who can provide truly expert knowledge of the machine's full mechanical and electrical systems. We understand that this is the best way to ensure minimal downtime and the machine's quick return to service."
Shuttlelift continues to move forward with innovative, cutting-edge technologies, so it's important to train approved technicians appropriately so they can service those new technologies quickly and effectively. It's not just about bringing new products to market; it's about providing a valuable service network that can support customers worldwide.
The Service School, Huston added, also focused on the importance of Shuttlelift's inspection program.
The 2014 Shuttlelift Service School focused on basic through advanced troubleshooting in basic electrical systems. In addition, Shuttlelift partnered with Sturgeon Bay-based CenterPointe Marina, which allowed the Service School to use its fully operational Marine Travelift 70 BFM (similar to a SL75II) for training purposes.
"Each service technician learned various testing procedures, how and why machine inspections are important, and proper paperwork procedures," he commented. "They gained a deeper understanding of how keeping up with annual maintenance on the machine can increase a machine's resale value down the road."
"They also learned how, through annual inspections of customers' machines, how valuable increased face-to-face time with the customers can be," he continued. "The customers will see the importance and benefits of proper preventative maintenance and reduced downtime."
The service technicians who attended this spring's school sessions traveled from as far away as Malaysia, Japan and Europe, as well as from throughout North America. Huston said Shuttlelift was very pleased with the Service School's global appeal and the positive feedback it has received from participants.
For details about the fall Service School classes at Shuttlelift's global headquarters in Sturgeon Bay, call 920-743-6202 and ask for the CustomerCare department.

Jake Owen undergoes hand surgery
Listen to Jake Owen on iHeartRadio
Jake Owen is getting his hand fixed. The singer said in a Tweet Tuesday that he was headed in for surgery, and included a picture of him in a car with his fingers bandaged up.
Jake adds that he was trying to avoid it, but since he plays guitar for a living he needed to get it done. Jake doesn't seem to think he'll need a lot of recovery time. He says there's "no way" he's going to miss his appearance at the Country Concert at Hickory Hills Lakes festival in Fort Loramine, Ohio on Thursday, or his shows with Jason Aldean at Boston's Fenway Park on Friday and Saturday.

POMONA - For three months, supporters of Measure X worked tirelessly to rally support for a parcel tax that would generate revenue for Pomona Public Library.
Although 60 percent of voters last week supported the tax, the "yes" votes didn't achieve the two-thirds threshold needed for passage.
So what's next for the library, its supporters and city officials?
The library won't be closing anytime soon, but there will be a wealth of analyzing and planning to determine its future.
Even though Measure X didn't pass, the results revealed something about the city's voters, said Marian Higgins, a Pomona resident and coordinator of the campaign to support Measure X.
"I think we feel like the library itself was validated," she said.
"We think there is support for the library, but we need to come at it from a different direction."
Had the group had additional time to campaign and get additional funds, it might have been able to garner the support of the 1,400 additional voters needed for passage, Higgins said.
John Clifford, who also worked on the campaign, said volunteers reached thousands of Pomona voters and explained the situation that the library faces and the need to pass Measure X.
In June, as part of a budget proposal, city administrators proposed temporarily closing the library for a year to reduce costs.
City Council members directed city staffers to find funds to keep the library open. Administrators suggested taking $400,000 to run the library during the 2012-13 fiscal year.
The money kept the library open, but the limited hours of service were cut further and library staff was slashed.
If Measure X had passed, owners of single-family home parcels would have paid $38 a year, generating about $1.5 million a year for library operations.
"Thirteen thousand people actually voted to tax themselves," Clifford said. "That is, I hope, a message the City Council will get that the citizens want the service."
After going over election data, supporters of the measure found voters in City Council District 5, in southwestern Pomona, and District 6, in northern Pomona, showed the least support for Measure X.
Voters in those two council districts are closer to the Claremont, La Verne and Diamond Bar libraries than Pomona's, Clifford said.
Measure X supporters tried to reach voters there with signs, phone banks and other efforts.
"What we missed in those areas that we had in others was the personal contact," Clifford said.
Few people from those areas were involved in the campaign, Clifford said.
"If we had a year to put something together, or six months," things might have been different, Clifford said.
Efforts to place a measure on the November ballot in support of the library came about in July at the urging of residents and City Council members who approved placing it on the ballot in August.
Supporters moved quickly to launch a campaign for the measure knowing they had about three month to convince voters of the need for the parcel tax.
Additional time would have allowed supporters to develop a campaign strategy for districts 5 and 6, Clifford said.
It's too early to tell if supporters of the library will pursue another tax measure, Clifford said.
"Perhaps we can come back at a later time," he said.
It may be possible to pursue a general tax that would only require a simple majority to be approved, he said.
But Councilwoman Paula Lantz, who put out the call that drew residents and business people to brainstorm strategies to assist the library, said Measure X wouldn't have garnered as many votes if it had been a general tax.
Measure X "was guaranteed to increase (library) hours and maintain services," she said.
Clifford, who is also chairman of the Pomona Public Library Foundation, said, even before last week's election, foundation board members planned to meet with individual council members.
"We will meet with them and advocate on behalf of the library" in addition to offering assistance during the city's budgeting process, Clifford said.
Pomona Finance Director Paula Chamberlain said the city's 2012-13 budget, which includes funding for the library, is balanced and in place.
Next month, the process for developing a budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year will begin, she said.
Funding for the library and other services will hinge on various factors.
"It all depends on how we're doing with sales tax, property tax and development-related revenue," she said.
In October, the city organized a series of community meetings led by State Librarian Stacey Aldrich and members of her staff. The meetings were designed to collect opinions on a vision for the library.
The report with the result of the meetings is expected to be part of the City Council's Nov. 19 meeting, Deputy City Manager Mark Gluba said.
Lantz said that without a dramatic increase in sales tax or property tax, it's hard to say how the library will be funded during the coming fiscal year.
Lantz said the City Council will have two new members who may have ideas on how to address the library situation.
Before setting budget priorities, Lantz would like to hold a community meeting to show residents what the city's financial situation is like.
Lantz said the meeting would allow residents to see the city's revenues and expenses and offer their opinions about the programs and services they value most.
Lantz said she hopes those who came together to support the library continue to do so.
"One of the wonderful bright spots is lots and lots of people came together," she said. "I hope they remain engaged as far as the library is concerned."

BUSINESS and local government leaders from across south Worcestershire are pleading with Malvern councillors not to consign a planning blueprint years in the making to the scrapheap.
On Tuesday, Malvern Hills District Council (MHDC) is holding a crunch meeting to discuss a report produced by a small task group of its members calling for housing allocations in the South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP) – a blueprint for development in the Malvern Hills, Wychavon and Worcester areas – to be altered.
But any major changes will cause a delay of several months and – with the SWDP scheduled for approval next month – Malvern Hills is being warned to resist the temptation to tamper.
If the development plan has not been submitted to the Government by March, new national planning rules will take precedence and house-building will be developer-led until councils come up with alternative plans.
Wychavon and Worcester city councils, as well as the Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), have now written to Malvern council leader David Hughes saying that any changes at this late stage will be unacceptable.
Paul Middlebrough, Wychavon's leader, cited a recent planning appeal in Honeybourne, near Evesham, where 190 homes will be built on a site earmarked for 75 with the planning inspector citing the lack of a five-year land supply.
"Until a plan is adopted, unplanned and unwanted development will be free to take place," he warned.
"This is likely to be in the most desirable parts of your district – the very areas that the SWDP has always sought to protect."
Anne Bonsor, Worcester City's regeneration and business engagement manager, warned that the task group's report threatens to derail the entire SWDP.
"Significant delays in the process leading to the adoption of the plan will inevitably mean that unplanned and potentially less desirable development will come forward in all three districts," she said.
Peter Pawsey, executive chairman of Worcestershire LEP, said delay would threaten the county's economic prosperity.
"The LEP considers the emerging SWDP to be sound and deliverable and that failure to progress it as quickly as possible to adoption could put at risk the delivery of jobs and inward investment which Worcestershire desperately needs," he said.
At Tuesday's meeting, which is due to be held at 7pm in the Bank House, Bransford, near Worcester, Coun Hughes will urge MHDC members not to make any significant changes to the SWDP saying it is too late and the risks are too great.

The Legacy of C.S. Lewis and Narnia: Part 1 of 2
Announcer:The 21st Century has ushered in events and issues that cause us to ask, where is God in todays world? In response, Dallas Theological Seminary presents DTS Dialogue - Issues of God and Culture: The Chronicles of Narnia. The first major motion picture of C.S. Lewis' epic series has swept the nation and has drawn attention to the significance of biblical themes in contemporary cinema. Join us as we examine some theological and cultural implications of "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," Part one.
Mark Yarbrough:Welcome to another addition of Dallas Seminary Podcast. I am joined here at the table by Dr. Darrell Bock who is the Research Professor at New Testament Studies and Professor of Spiritual Development and Culture. Across from Dr. Bock is Dr. Hall Harris. Dr. Harris is Professor of New Testament Studies. To his left is Dr. Glenn Kreider, Professor of Theological Studies in the Theological Studies division. My name is Mark Yarbrough. I am the Executive Director of Communications at Dallas Theological Seminary. The topic that we are going to be discussing today is Narnia and C.S. Lewis and the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Just some stats if you don't mind to start off. Obviously this movie was released here in the United States on December the 9th. It did about $70 million, almost that, second behind Harry Potter which had been out a few months before that. The total U.S. gross to date is $122 million. Globally, it has taken in about $200 million. Obviously many people are going to watch this movie and many people will be seeing it in the days ahead. So it brings up a lot of questions about C.S. Lewis, the theology of C. S. Lewis, and the movie itself and how authentic it is in relationship to the book and this is one that I can say that I have actually read the book before seeing the movie like many other people, and so that is what we are going to talk about. Dr. Harris, I am going to punt the first question to you if you don't mind and let's look at the great question of who is C. S. Lewis and what is the general story line of the series of the Chronicles of Narnia.
Dr. Hall Harris:Well it might be more effective to ask the question, who is C.S. Lewis in the U.K. and who is C.S. Lewis in America, because it has been said more than once that it is almost as if you are dealing with two individuals. As far as the U.K., United Kingdom, Lewis was an intellectual. He was an academic. He spent his entire professional career at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, ended up as a professor of medieval and renaissance literature. Started out as a tutor in the university system which is, well it is difficult to describe that. In the American system there is no real equivalent, but it is sort of like a private teaching assistant who is hired by students to help them prepare for exams and write essays and critique their work, and eventually Lewis gained faculty status and spent his entire life basically in the academic field. He was particularly interested in renaissance and medieval literature which was his specialty. But he was extremely widely read, remembered virtually everything he read, and was able to comment on lots and lots of different things. Now, C.S. Lewis started out as an atheist and became a Christian in the 1930's, largely under the influence of J.R.R. Tolkien, famous in the U.S. for being author of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. Lewis, after his conversion to Christianity, began to write apologetic works, essays and other pieces, some of which were broadcast over the BBC, and during the second world war he actually went around and spoke at various military bases, notably RAF stations, talking to the troops and sort of giving a basic introduction to Christian theology. Shortly after the second world war, Lewis began to be more involved in fiction, and the fiction is what he is perhaps better known for in the states. He did a series of seven children's books known as The Chronicles of Narnia. He also did a set of three books that are more what we would call science fiction that go under the general title of the space trilogies, Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength, and those books have continued to be popular along with some of Lewis' apologetic works like Mere Christianity, God in the Dock, The World's Last Night and other essays, there is a whole string of those that he wrote and in addition to the Christian writings, he did a number of professional writings as well, like literary essays, and "The Allegory of Love," and a number of others, "The Discarded Image," a number of more technical works within his field that are not very well known in the U.S. So that's who C. S. Lewis was in a nutshell.
Dr. Darrell Bock: Now that's who he is in the U.K. Who is he in America?
Hall:Oh yes, I forgot about that point. Thank you for reminding me Darrell. Lewis in the U.S. has become sort of a hero of the faith, inducted almost into Hebrews chapter 11 you might say, by evangelical Christians in the U.S. where he is generally widely respected for his apologetics, and particularly his logical and rational approach defending the Christian faith in his arguments for the genuineness of the Christian faith.
Mark: And why do you think that is? I mean we have all done it. Everybody sitting here at this table, we've quoted C.S. Lewis. He has shown up in lectures and sermons. Why is that?
Dr. Glenn Kreider:Well one of the reasons is because he is so quotable. He has a way of taking complex issues and boiling them down into a sound bite. I spent a little time looking this morning at a couple of websites that have just page after page after page after page of quotation. And he says what we would all like to say very clearly and succinctly. In a way, what makes him very effective in modern apologetics is that he has a really nice way of demonstrating the logical inconsistency of other views and painting Christianity as the reasonable, rational alternative.
Darrell:An example of that, I think, is the famous thing that probably all of us have heard, that Jesus was liar, lunatic, or Lord, which actually is a boil-down of a passage in Mark.
And so you think, "Golly, Lewis did this wonderful, creative thing," on the one hand, saying it, and you kind of think it was a saying ex nihilo, "out of nowhere," and then, lo and behold, you read this passage in Mark and you go, [fingers snapping] "That's where he got it!"
Mark:And he follows up on those themes on a regular basis. My other favorite is "He's either on the level of someone who claims to be a poached egg or he is the lord of the universe." And they show up all over the place.
Well, let's jump right into the movie. Obviously, that's the phenomenon that we're dealing with. What is the backdrop of The Chronicles of Narnia?
Hall, you mention that it was originally released by Lewis as a children's series. What is the backdrop, anybody jump in on this one, of The Chronicles of Narnia, and in particular the movie that we're talking about, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe?"
Hall:Well, just to give a really quick summary, the movie, and the story, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," on which the movie's based, opens with four English children who have been sent to live in the countryside outside of London to escape the Blitz during the second World War, the German bombing of London.
And so they're living in a large house that's run by an old professor and his housekeeper. The youngest of the four children, a girl named Lucy, discovers in a vacant room an old wardrobe--a wardrobe is a large closet-like piece of furniture that you stored coats and clothing in--and when she looks into this wardrobe, she finds that it's actually a doorway into another world, the world of Narnia.
And it turns out as she makes her first visit to this other world that the land of Narnia is under the spell of the White Witch who has turned the country to eternal winter and never Christmas.
And so the country is populated by talking animals, basically, and they're desperately hoping for the return of their king, who happens to be a lion named Aslan.
In the course of the story, it turns out that all four of the children end up visiting Narnia. One of them turns traitor and goes over to the side of the White Witch, and ultimately is rescued only by Aslan himself substituting himself for Edmund, the traitor, and allowing the White Witch to kill him.
So Aslan steps into Edmund's place and dies in his place, and then is resurrected and of course there is a big battle scene at the end where the White Witch is permanently defeated and everything is put right in the end.
That's the basic summary.
Mark:OK. Now with that basic summary, one of the great questions that is often asked is, "Is this to be understood as an allegory to the Bible?" How would you approach that particular topic?
Glenn:It seems clearly to be the case that the film and the story are allegorical. The question would be whether Lewis intended to write an allegory of the Christian story. His own testimony leads us to question that.
The story originated in his own attempt to provide entertainment for children who stayed in his house during the war. And he had these images in his mind about this world and he begins to tell the story and the story develops.
I think in order to understand Narnia, you have to understand that Narnia is a real world. It's not a REAL world, but it is a "real" world, and in order to understand the world of the story you have to understand the diegetic world that Lewis constructs.
And because Lewis is a Christian, because he is immersed in the Biblical symbolism and literature, because he's immersed in the language and the images of the text, they show up in his world.
But whether it's legitimate to read...I think I would caution against doing that, reading the story alongside of the Biblical story and trying to do a one-for-one correspondence.
Darrell: What is a diegetic world?
It's a world on a diet?
Glenn: I have a handful of technical terms I like to drop in the conversation.
The diegetic world is the world created by the story, or it is the world of the story. It's the world of the film, it's the world of a piece of literature. And in order to understand the story, one has to understand the world that is constructed by the author, by the storyteller.
Darrell: So how the characters interact, and the nature of the reality that's being portrayed, and all that...?
Glenn:In the world in which you and I live, animals don't talk. When we engage in warfare, you don't have flying hippos and those kind of things.
Darrell: We did in my house.
Mark: So in other words, if this world existed, how would the Biblical story have enacted itself in that world? Is that safe to say?
Glenn:Lewis said that the question he's trying to answer is, "How would God incarnate himself in Narnia?" And obviously Aslan is Jesus. Obviously the lion metaphor, the lion symbolism is the point.
But in order to understand Narnia, that's Lewis' intention. How would God incarnate himself and address the problem in this world?
Now because in the meta-narrative of the creation, fall, and recreation--that's the big story, the organizing--
Darrell: The meta-story--
Mark: There he goes, the Big Story--
Glenn:So in that story which is the relationship between the creator and his creation, whether that story takes place in the world that we know or in a fantasy world that Lewis creates or Tolkein creates. There are similarities between those worlds so that there is always in every good story and in every story (not even just a good story), every story has a problem that needs to be resolved.
There is peril and there is a need for redemption and salvation. And that God, in Lewis' story, enters into the world of Narnia as Aslan and he is the one who makes things right. He is the one that restores order and restores truth and the creator's design for that world.
Mark:Before we get into some of the specifics, and you had mentioned obviously, the character of Aslan, we will talk about that. What are some of the differences between the book and the movie? That is the age-old question of how can you take any book and have it into a movie. And to some degree, especially as we are dealing with this topic, it was the great question that was asked with the Passion of the Christ and how can you take a story and relay it? What are some of your thoughts on that as you have seen the movie now.
Glenn:I'd like hear Hall address some of the specifics. But one of the things that must be said, I think, is that when you move from a story you move from a piece of literature into a film, much of the narrators ability to communicate what is actually going on in the thought life of people is missed, it is gone.
What the filmmaker does is either communicates that through facial expression or the other character's descriptions. But you really have to guess what is going on in the character's minds. There is so much. The great strength of Lewis is that in these stories he tells us a lot of what the characters are thinking. Which you don't see in the film by very nature of the genre.
Hall:As far as major differences, some of the most noticeable things would be first of all, there is a fairly extensive introduction that starts with a German bombing attack on London that shows the children running for an air raid shelter and trying to escape. Then they are put on the train and sent out to the professor's house in the county.
Lewis opens the book with one sentence: "There were four children who were sent away to the country to escape the air raids." This is understandable because of modern audiences. When Lewis wrote the book, everybody knew what was going on in London in 1940.
Obviously, changes like that are necessary to give a little back-story and fill in details. Some of the other problems that you run into when you go to the medium of film is that you have to keep things moving along very, very rapidly. One of the big problems that confronts directors and scriptwriters of films is how to move characters from place to place when they are in widely separated locales.
For example, when the children and Mr. and Mrs. Beaver are escaping from the Beaver's house to get away from the White Witche's wolves, who are her secret police, they go through this tunnel and come out somewhere else. It brings them to where they need to be. That tunnel is not in the book. It is a device that was added into the film to move character's from A to B.
Then there is the other idea that in order to hold a modern audience's interest you have to have an action movie. There are some scenes, which I would almost say are "throw away", which are put in there for the sake of increasing the danger or the action. This would be the waterfall crossing the river scene where the ice flow breaks up and the children go washing down the river on a chunk of ice.
Then when they are pushed to land by the Beavers, who shove the ice block along to the show, Peter is left holding Lucy's coat and for a few dreadful seconds Susan and Peter think that Lucy has been drowned and washed away. And she comes walking in from the side saying, "Has anyone seen my coat?"
None of this is in the book. This is all added in. Probably the other single most biggest and obvious thing is the final battle scene at the end. Which, obviously, many of the special effects were done by the same company in New Zealand that did "Lord of the Rings," there are lots of similarities.
Anybody who has seen both of those films can detect in the creatures and the way they move and in particularly, the size of the relative armies because in Lewis' book, he only devotes a handful of sentences to describing the last battle. And it's, obviously, because he thinks it is a children's book.
In fact, earlier at one point, when he is describing Aslan's trip to the Stone Table (which is where he is going to die and be killed by the White Witch). Lewis, actually in the book has a little aside that he makes that "I can't really describe all these horrible creatures that are here because if I did, your parents wouldn't let you read this book."
In the movie, I am afraid most of those creatures are there in all their hideous special effects glory. And the battle scene is much bigger in scope than I think Lewis would have envisioned, probably a few hundred fighting on each side. In the battle scene in the movie is a cast of thousands.
Darrell:Well, I think that is an example where you see you are moving from a literary genre to a video genre. You are use to certain things. Actually, you mentioned "The Lord of the Rings" but the other scene that came to mind when I hit the battle scene was the Star Wars movies and some of the conflict that you see there with the special effects and that kind of thing.
It is an interesting phenomenon. Actually, I think there was actually concern about the level of the violence in the film for the children who go to see it. I think it is also a little bit of a difference, perhaps, between Europe and the United States. In the sense that Europe tends to downplay issues of war, having experienced war as it has, where the United States tends to have movies that go in this direction very, very easily. I think that you are seeing all kind of cultural things in those moments where you get those differences.
But I have to say that it certainly adds a pop to the film. I don't know if you had a shorter battle scene if you would have the same effect in film that you would have. You can handle it more crisply in a book because people can imagine it but now you have to visualize it on film.

Can Byron Bell and Nate Chandler handle the pass protection duties? 8. Can the Panthers find offensive leaders like the ones they lost? The Panthers cut WR Steve Smith. They were not able to pick up a receiver that has proven skills like Smith brought to the table. 7. Will Greg Hardy receive a long suspension? Greg Hardy was convicted in the domestic abuse incident with his girlfriend. Will Roger Goodell slap him with a significant suspension before Hardy's appeal is settled? Seeing as how Ravens RB Ray Rice was suspended for just two games after his incident, it is unlikley. 6. Can the backfield stay healthy? DeAngelo Williams did not score many touchdowns last season, but was still the workhorse for the Panther offense. Is he past his prime or will he have a career year with fewer reliable passing options on the field? 6. Can the backfield stay healthy? Jonathan Stewart's injury troubles are well documented. If he's healthy though, he's an asset as the #2 back. 6. Can the backfield stay healthy? Mike Tolbert had a career year last season. His battering ram style will be needed again in short yardage situations. If he's healthy, he'll sniff out the endzone. 5. The defense is top notch, but can it do enough to win? The front four will be stellar again, led by Charles Johnson. Greg Hardy's suspension (if he gets one) would be reason to worry at least for a couple of games. Rookie Kony Ealy may be called on for some early starts in that case. Kawann Short and Star Lotulelei should continue to improve on great starts to their careers. 5. The defense is top notch, but can it do enough to win? The linebacking corps anchored by superstar Luke Keuchly should not disappoint. Thomas Davis' resurgence is reason for mass celebration. The fear is, with fewer proven offensive weapons, the defense may be required to pitch a shutout or two. Can they? 4. Will the secondary over-perform as the did in 2013? There weren't big stars in the secondary last year, but everyone played up to or beyond expectations. Can they do it again? Robert Lester might be the most recognizable face left after the departures of Mike Mitchell and Captain Munnerlyn, and he's probably going to be benched. 4. Will the secondary over-perform as the did in 2013? The addition of veteran safety Thomas DeCoud may help Lester with his growth. DeCoud is believed to be on his last leg. Can he surprise the critics and put in a good twilight year? 4. Will the secondary over-perform as the did in 2013? Roman Harper's arrival from New Orleans gives the young guns another good veteran to learn from. 3. Can the new receivers prove themselves? Former Wolfpack star Jerricho Cotchery had 10 TDs and over 600 receiving yards in Pittsburgh last year. It was the first double-digit TD total of his career. In the previous three years he didn't play a full season and never went over 3 TDs and only sniffed at 500 yds once. 3. Can the new receivers prove themselves? Jason Avant doesn't get tons of yards or score many TDs, but he's got to be better than Brandon LaFell, right? 3. Can the new receivers prove themselves? There may have never been as much buzz for a rookie WR for the Panthers as there is for Kelvin Benjamin. Since catching the game-winning TD in the national championship for FSU last year, Panthers fans wanted him. He's a big target and should do well fighting for the ball with smaller corners. The odd are against a rookie being great right off the bat though. 2. Is Cam's ankle ready and steady? Cam Newton had surgery after the season to "tighten up" his ankle ligaments. Will he return to form? Can the line protect him enough? We like to think he's Superman, but he's got to have a kryptonite. Is this it? 2. Is Cam's ankle ready and steady? It's Cam Newton! He can do it all. If he's even 89%, you'd take him over almost anyone in the league. If anyone can make the rag-tag group of receivers shine, it's Cam. 1. Can Riverboat Ron do it again? Last year Ron Rivera was a dead duck early in the season. Then something snapped and he was leading one of the best teams in the league. He and his staff got everything they could out of the 2013 squad. He'll need to get a 125% effort again from everyone, if they want to repeat. Photo 1 of 1 Continue Gallery

text: I think Garrett is one of the worst coaches in the league and the worst in Cowboys history. Having said that, he has these last 4 games to make a statement and prove a lot of us wrong, I do believe his job is on the line, I think there is no way Jerry keeps him if Dallas embarasess themselves in these last 4 games, the pressure from fans and media would be too much. I want to be wrong about Garrett, I want the Cowboys to run the table, yes we have injuries but every team has them, Pitt won in Baltimore with Charlie Batch for crying out loud. We have the QB to do it. There are no excuses, just go out there and win the games and Garrett can run away with the job. I want to eat the hell out of that crow.

Made with GORE-TEX® Pro fabric, the tough, efficient and hard-working Stinger Bib provides complete weather protection and is engineered for deep powder days in the backcountry. Forward leaning articulation in the knees and seat delivers complete freedom of movement, and the high coverage bib wraps the waist to create a complete overlap under a shell jacket's hem.
N80p-X GORE-TEX® Pro is big mountain durable. The face has larger yarns that are very tightly woven to create a smooth abrasion resistant surface. The fabric was long in development, and delivers a strength to weight ratio optimized for backcountry skiing and snowboarding. Burly Keprotec™ is used to protect the instep from edge cuts and abrasion, and durable 100D Cordura® is used in the PowderCuffs™.
Articulated patterning and the gusseted crotch provide extended mobility without sacrificing coverage. The Arc'teryx Athletic fit is streamlined but accommodates layers, and Arc'teryx e3D patterning provides generous, use specific mobility. The Arc'teryx commitment to ergonomic freedom, especially vital in shifting backcountry terrain, is a key aspect of the Stinger Bib's performance.
Arc'teryx puts a focus on balancing essential features with lightweight, minimalist design. To that end, features are mission specific, nothing is superfluous. The ¾ length side zips provide rapid ventilation on the uphill, and large volume external thigh pockets lie flat when empty. Two pockets on the bib provide secure storage. Arc'teryx WaterTight™ zippers deliver a secure seal, but won't accumulate snow. Adjustable, integrated suspenders attach to front of bib to secure the fit.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Premier Ted Baillieu must both stop playing politics with the issue of hospital funding, Victoria's Labor opposition leader says.
Daniel Andrews says he's not in the business of lecturing his colleagues but both the federal and state governments need to maturely resolve the issue.
"Both those from the commonwealth government and the state government need to sit down, in a room, and work out how they're going to fix this," he told reporters on Thursday.
"We can't have a situation where patients are waiting longer than they should for the care that they need while politicians continue to play a blame game, trying to score points off each other."
Mr Andrews said his office had been in touch with federal Health Minister Tanya Plibersek's office and his views were well known.
Victorian Health Minister David Davis says Canberra has cut $107 million from existing hospital budgets, while Ms Plibersek maintains Victoria will receive $900 million more in hospital funding over four years.
The funding cuts have prompted The Alfred to reportedly axe 300 operations, while the Royal Children's Hospital has announced it will have to slash 50 jobs.
Mr Baillieu said all state health ministers in November condemned the federal funding cut.
"Julia Gillard has unilaterally cut funding to hospitals," he told reporters.
"What staggers me is the prime minister is now denying they've cut funding to hospitals.
"The commonwealth should reverse it, they're in some sort of bizarre denial."
Mr Andrews challenged Mr Davis to release the hospital performance data for the three months to last September, saying it was due for release before the end of last year.
He urged Mr Davis to also release a statement of priority contracts the health minister signed with hospitals around last October.
As of June last year there were almost 8000 more people waiting for elective surgery in Victoria.
Mr Andrews said if the statements of priorities were tallied up there would be an elective surgery waiting list of more than 50,000 people.
"That is the worst list, the longest list, the biggest deterioration in the system since records were kept."

Endometrial cancerEndometrial adenocarcinoma; Uterine adenocarcinoma; Uterine cancer; Adenocarcinoma - endometrium; Adenocarcinoma - uterus; Cancer - uterine; Cancer - endometrial; Uterine corpus cancer
Endometrial cancer is cancer that starts in the endometrium, the lining of the uterus (womb).
Endometrial cancer is the most common type of uterine cancer. Although the exact cause of endometrial cancer is unknown, increased levels of estrogen appear to play a role. Estrogen helps stimulate the buildup of the lining of the uterus. Studies have shown that high levels of estrogen in animals result in excessive endometrial growth and cancer.
Most cases of endometrial cancer occur between the ages of 60 and 70 years, but a few cases may occur before age 40.
The following increase your risk of endometrial cancer:
- Diabetes
- Estrogen replacement therapy without the use of progesterone
- History of endometrial polyps
- Infertility (inability to become pregnant)
- Infrequent periods
- Tamoxifen, a drug for breast cancer treatment
- Never being pregnant
- Obesity
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
- Starting menstruation at an early age (before age 12)
- Starting menopause after age 50
Associated conditions include the following:
- Colon or breast cancer
- Gallbladder disease
- High blood pressure
- Polycystic ovarian disease
- Abnormal bleeding from the vagina, including bleeding between periods or spotting/bleeding after menopause
- Extremely long, heavy, or frequent episodes of vaginal bleeding after age 40
- Lower abdominal pain or pelvic cramping
- Thin white or clear vaginal discharge after menopause
Exams and Tests
A pelvic examination is frequently normal, especially in the early stages of disease. Changes in the size, shape, or feel of the uterus or surrounding structures may be seen when the disease is more advanced.
Tests that may be done include:
- Endometrial aspiration or biopsy
- Dilation and curettage (D and C)
- Pap smear (may raise a suspicion for endometrial cancer, but does not diagnose it)
If cancer is found, other tests may be done to determine if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. This is called staging.
Stages of endometrial cancer:
- The cancer is only in the uterus.
- The cancer is in the uterus and cervix.
- The cancer has spread outside of the uterus but not beyond the true pelvis area. Cancer may involve the lymph nodes in the pelvis or near the aorta (the major artery in the abdomen).
- The cancer has spread to the inner surface of the bowel, bladder, abdomen, or other organs.
Cancer is also described as Grade 1, 2, or 3. Grade 1 is the least aggressive, and grade 3 is the most aggressive.
Treatment options involve surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
Removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) may be done in women with the early stage 1 uterine cancer. Removal of the tubes and ovaries (bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) is also usually recommended.
Total robotic or abdominal hysterectomy is recommended over vaginal hysterectomy. A vaginal hysterectomy does not allow the surgeon to look inside the abdominal area or remove tissue for a biopsy.
Surgery combined with radiation therapy is often used to treat women with stage 1 disease that has a high chance of returning, has spread to the lymph nodes, or is a grade 2 or 3. It is also used to treat women with stage 2 disease.
Chemotherapy or hormonal therapy may be considered in some cases, especially for those with stage 3 and 4 disease.
Support Groups
The stress of illness may be eased by joining a support group whose members share common experiences and problems. See cancer - support group.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Endometrial cancer is usually diagnosed at an early stage. The 1-year survival rate is about 92%.
The 5-year survival rate for endometrial cancer that has not spread is 95%. If the cancer has spread to distant organs, the 5-year survival rate drops to 23%.
Possible Complications
Complications may include anemia due to blood loss. A perforation (hole) of the uterus may occur during a D and C or endometrial biopsy.
There can also be complications from hysterectomy, radiation, and chemotherapy.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have abnormal vaginal bleeding or any other symptoms of endometrial cancer.
Any of the following symptoms should be reported immediately to the doctor:
- Bleeding or spotting after intercourse or douching
- Bleeding lasting longer than 7 days
- Periods that occur every 21 days or sooner
- Bleeding or spotting after 1 year or more of no bleeding after menopause
There is no effective screening test for endometrial (uterine) cancer. Women with any risk factors for endometrial cancer should be followed closely by their doctors. Frequent pelvic examinations and screening tests such as a Pap smear and endometrial biopsy may be considered in some cases.
Use of birth control pills for over a year reduces the risk of endometrial cancer. Women who are taking estrogen replacement therapy without progesterone therapy or who have taken tamoxifen for more than 2 years have an increased risk of endometrial cancer and should have regular pelvic examinations and Pap smears.

One Direction tease 'big announcement'
Listen to One Direction on iHeartRadio
Fans of One Direction are marking their calenders for next Thursday, May 16th. The British boy band is teasing fans with a major piece of news, starting the hashtag "1bigannouncement" to keep them in suspense until next week.
Members Niall Horan and Liam Payne also directed fans to the site onebigannouncement.com, where the news is set to break.
Last month, in an interview with "Daily Star," Louis Tomlinson confirmed that the boys had been recording a new album that he said would be out "before Christmas." Ed Sheeran, who's also a friend of the band, also told "MTV" the album was "already finished."
The group has a U.S. tour coming up, as well as a 3D concert documentary due out in August, so their "big announcement" could be related to any number of future projects.
You could also set your alarms on your phones as an extra precaution... #OneBigAnnouncement7DaysToGo 1DHQ x onebigannouncement.com— One Direction (@onedirection) May 9, 2013

GSA Issues New Environmental Products GuideBigger, Better Guide Lists over 3,000 Environmentally Oriented Products
April 2, 1998
Contact: Eleni Martin
(202) 501-1231
Tom Daily
(703) 305-5149
WASHINGTON, DC -- The US General Services Administration announced today the release of the fifth edition of its Environmental Products Guide (EPG), an updated listing of over 3,000 environmentally oriented items available from GSA's Federal Supply Service (FSS).
David J. Barram, GSA Administrator, said, "GSA's latest EPG is bigger and better than the previous editions. This is just one more way that we're doing our part to support the Clinton Administration's efforts to take care of our environment."
The EPG has been popular with Federal buyers and has evolved over the years to include all aspects of environmental concerns. For instance, the guide contains products which address pollution prevention, waste minimization and resource conservation issues. The products are available through GSA's Stock, Schedules, and Customer Supply Center Programs, as well as on-line through GSA Advantage!�
A whole section of the EPG is devoted to a special cleaning and degreasing products initiative developed in partnership with industry and the Environmental Protection Agency in pursuit of "environmentally preferable" products, as defined in Executive Order 12873.
The EPG also contains many products that have recycled content or that are energy
conserving. Some of the more notable examples in the recycled content category are: copier paper, latex paint, and carpet, as well as remanufactured toner cartridges. In the energy arena, Federal agencies will be able to find energy efficient computers, printers, and copy machines, as well as household appliances. There also is information about how agencies can obtain alternative fuel vehicles and 'chillers' for cooling applications that are energy efficient and protect the stratospheric ozone layer.
The EPG is available to all authorized users of the GSA/FSS Supply System at no cost, along with the many other GSA/FSS publications. The EPG can also be found on the GSA/FSS
Home Page at http://www.fss.gsa.gov.

By Scott North Herald Writer
EVERETT — One of the men serving a life sentence for the 2002 murder of Rachel Burkheimer has convinced the state Court of Appeals he should receive a new trial.
The courtroom in John Alan Whitaker's aggravated murder trial was temporarily closed to spectators while six prospective jurors were individually questioned about their fitness to hear evidence in the case. In keeping with case law decided since Whitaker's 2004 conviction, he is entitled to a new trial, appellate justices ruled on Monday.
Whitaker, now 30, is serving a life sentence at the Washington State Reformatory in Monroe.
He's going nowhere, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Kathy Webber said.
Prosecutors intend to appeal Monday's decision to the state Supreme Court. If unsuccessful, they will move to retry Whitaker.
Burkheimer was 18 when she was lured to an Everett home on Sept. 23, 2002. She was bound, beaten and brutalized for hours, then hauled in a hockey bag to the Cascade Range foothills. Once there, she was fatally shot and buried.
Whitaker was one of eight people charged and convicted in connection with Burkheimer's death. Jurors convicted him of aggravated first-degree murder, a crime that carries a life sentence, and conspiracy to commit murder.
Evidence in the case showed Burkheimer was killed after intense jealousy by an ex-boyfriend morphed into a paranoid fantasy that she somehow posed a threat to a budding street gang that called itself the Northwest Mafia.
Burkheimer was shot by John Phillip Anderson, her former boyfriend, and a leader of the group. He also got a life prison term. Yusef "Kevin" Jihad of Everett got a 37-year term.
Whitaker testified that he participated in Burkheimer's abduction and assisted in digging her grave. In 2006, he mounted an unsuccessful appeal, arguing that he couldn't get a fair trial in Snohomish County due to pretrial news coverage. His new appeal came after the state Supreme Court ruled in a separate murder case that a new trial was necessary in a case where some prospective jurors were questioned behind closed doors.
The evidence against Whitaker remains unchanged, Webber said. The case against him hinged on his being an accomplice to Anderson and others.

Thanks for letting us know. I have moved this to the bug section. I will try and look into this a bit later on today.
In the meantime can anyone else confirm this? Thanks.
I was very excited to see The Middler was included with RC2. I went to run setup.py and immediately encountered errors:
At first I thought maybe bt had forgot to include a package with this but I combed the net for a minute and didn't find anything. I took a chance that maybe the middlerlib was really the folder in the directory called "libmiddler". Opened up setup.py and changed it to this:Code:running build running build_py error: package directory 'middlerlib' does not exist
Ran "python setup.py build" again and things seem to work up to the middler.plugins.support:Code:packages = ['libmiddler','libmiddler.plugins','middler.plugins.support']
I tried a few things but can't seem to get this last part to work. Any help much appreciated.Code:# python setup.py build running build running build_py creating build/lib/libmiddler/plugins copying libmiddler/plugins/plugin_metasploit.py -> build/lib/libmiddler/plugins copying libmiddler/plugins/__init__.py -> build/lib/libmiddler/plugins copying libmiddler/plugins/plugin_debug.py -> build/lib/libmiddler/plugins copying libmiddler/plugins/plugin_iframe_injection.py -> build/lib/libmiddler/plugins copying libmiddler/plugins/plugin_30x_redirect.py -> build/lib/libmiddler/plugins error: package directory 'middler/plugins/support' does not exist
Thanks for letting us know. I have moved this to the bug section. I will try and look into this a bit later on today.
In the meantime can anyone else confirm this? Thanks.

Yes. Encounter same errors.
Able to replicate results as well.
Computer security is a temporary condition.
Ok I have found the problem with this package and am working on a fix. It will be in the repos soon.
In the interim please be patient. I will try to update this thread once I know that the new package is available.
Also please note that if you see a "setup" or other such similar (installer) file in a given package, we have already ran this and set things up for the user.
So there is generally no need to run them again. If anything it may cause problems. That is not the case with this tool, but I am putting it out there considering others tried to use it as shown above.

Well, after much waiting I saw I had to enable the BackTrack Devel Repository instead of using just the default. Unfortunately the new package I just downloaded of the Middler didn't work either. I did get a little further in my own work fixing it though. I'll keep posting it here if anyone cares. I've found the app will actually compile if you change line 5 of the setup.py file to this:
But when I go to run it I seem to get 2 errors in the python code itself:Code:packages = ['libmiddler','libmiddler.plugins','libmiddler.plugins']
Code:# python ./middler.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./middler.py", line 105, in <module> ml.traffic_capture.start() File "/pentest/spoofing/middler/libmiddler/traffic_capture.py", line 380, in start redirectIPTablesNewStart() File "/pentest/spoofing/middler/libmiddler/traffic_capture.py", line 189, in redirectIPTablesNewStart from netfilter.rule import Rule,Match,Target ImportError: No module named netfilter.rule

You are missing the point. You are trying to keep people out of a strip
club by hiding the phone book. And badly as well. The client PC does a
DNS request to m0n0wall, as that is the DNS server for the client PC.
Assuming you do not have www.facebook.com locally, m0n0wall will do a
request to the ISP DNS server. They in turn will look at an
authoritative name server, and eventually that will look at the facebook
server. But the client PC only ever looks to m0n0wall for name resolution.
What you need to block are IP addresses. If you ping facebook.com you
will get something close to 188.8.131.52, which was different from the
last time I pinged it. If you do an 'nslookup 184.108.40.206' you will
see it is www-10-03-ash1.facebook.com, or part of a cluster. If you do
a 'whois 184.108.40.206' you get;

The important part is the CIDR whis is the netblock for all of facebook.

block them if they move, and it may block other stuff for some. If you

NEW VIDEO: Ariana Grande 'Baby I'
Listen to Ariana Grande on iHeartRadio
Get excited, Arianators! Ariana Grande has released the video for her new song, "Baby I" - and it's awesome in a 90s-throwback kind of way.
In the video, Ariana dances around in overalls, sunflower prints, and short shorts alongside her dancers, all clad in apparel that is fabulously 90s-inspired. If you didn't get the comparisons to Mariah Carey before now, this video seals the deal.
This week, Ariana also appeared on 'Live with Kelly & Michael', where she performed "Almost Is Never Enough' from the Mortal Instruments soundtrack with rumored flame Nathan Sykes from The Wanted. Check out the performance below.
Ariana's debut album, Yours Truly, dropped September 3rd and went #1 on iTunes.

I've Always Wanted To Know:
Are LED Holiday Lights Really Better?
With the festive time of the year the question comes up if new LED style lights are really better or just a way for light manufacturers to increase profits. LED lights use an electronic circuit printed on a semiconductor which when electricity passes through it emits light. LED's normally produce a single color (usually cool white) and can have a bulb over the LED to color the light. Some newer LED's contain a red, blue and green LED which when combined with a diffuser dome can produce many different colors in a single bulb.
Positives of LED holiday lights
Lower power usage. LED stands use only a fraction of the power of traditional incandescent lights so the money saved in electricity if you run the light display all month long can add up.
Less heat produced. Because LED's are very efficient at transforming electricity into light (they don't use a filament which heats up like incandescent lights do) they produce a lot less heat. This can be a life safer as there have been many cases of fires on trees and other dry materials due to way too many tightly packed incandescent bulbs.
Very bright light. LED's can not produce very bright very vibrant light which many people consider very pretty for holiday lighting.
String Duration. Because LED's use less power more strings of lights can be safely connected to each other in series then with traditional incandescent bulbs.
Lifetime of the bulb. Because LED lights do not contain a filament the light sets can last a very long time and serve you year after years.
Negatives of LED holiday lights
Burned out LEDs: Because LED's are integrated circuits in many sets the individual bulbs are not replaceable thus if a light burns out you either need to replace the set or live with a bulb that doesn't glow.
Harsh color. Some people think the light given off by LED's is too harsh and produces a very unnatural glow.
Cost of LED. Though LED lights have lowered in cost over the recent years they can still be many times more expensive then traditional incandescent light strands. Though you save power you end up spending a lot of money to purchase the lights offsetting a lot of that cost savings.
Do you have a general technology or electronics question you always wanted to know like "How does a Microwave work?" or "Why do LED's last so long?" Write me at email@example.com and your question may be answered in an upcoming "I Always Wanted To Know." For specific computer support questions ask our writers by clicking here.

conntact.com - June 13, 2011: A bicycle lane, a two-way portion of George Street and a developed parcel that promises to reunite neighborhoods in the downtown New Haven region are among expected changes when a new undertaking of an old project is completed, according to its administrators.
With the first phase set to begin in the spring of 2012, the Downtown Crossing/Route 34 East Project will restructure the current truncated highway into an accessible boulevard between College Street and Union Avenue, as well as create city jobs, said New Haven Economic Development Administrator Kelly Murphy during a June 9 informational meeting.

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by joseephuss, Dec 6, 2012.
Agree. I'll be watching it when it when it comes out.
Jeez so much hostility in a thread about Star Trek
Star Wars geeks are just as bad. And it gets really bitter when they argue which "universe" is better. I watch for the entertainment value. If it is entertaining, I watch it, if not, well I don't. Avatar got rave reviews a few years ago, I thought it was just a boring rendition of Dances with Wolves set on another planet. The new reboot of Star Trek, with one new movie out, has been enjoyable. I just don't see the point in argueing the merits of what Roddenberry intended versus a reboot by a different writer. You either like it or you don't, lol.
That is what happens when you tick off nerds/geeks.
Some people take their Star Trek pretty serious. :laugh2:
Word for word what I think. I hated Avatar, but if someone else liked it more power to them. I've watched all the Star Trek's minus DS9 (because that show was boring), and for the most part enjoyed all the movies. I am in no way an expert, but I was entertained so I watch, and for a sci-fi movie to be more "real" is kind of weird thing to think about.
People, people.
Star Trek isn't supposed to tear us apart. It's supposed to bring us together.
Personally, I liked the scene where the Enterprise destroys the Star Destroyer with one photon torpedo to the bridge, proving once and for all who is superior.
Star Trek > Star Wars.
I went there.
It is the same universe.
Star Wars happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. In Episode I there is a scene in the senate where you see E.T.'s. In E.T., this race of E.T.'s is able to travel from their galaxy to the Milky Way galaxy and make it to Earth. In the future on Earth, eventually the stuff in Star Trek will occur. Hence, the same universe.
Star Trek Reboot > Star Wars EP I, II, & III
Star Wars EP IV, V, & VI > All Star Trek Movies & EPs
You couldn't pick a better Uhura then or now. Agreed. Love Zoe.
Think they are both great in their own way. Explained below. Perfectly!
I think of Kirk flipping open his device and saying beam me up. Then I got the startac flip phone in mid 90s.
burms in it. He is a hostile guy. Sorry Hos. :laugh2:
For anybody who wants a good giggle about this, "Fanboys" is one film that has some fun with that. Shatner even makes an appearance. Seth Rogen's small but unforgettable role(with really huge teeth) is the epitome of the over-the-top Star Trek fan. AS Elmer Fudd would say, "Wive Wong and Pwosper".
Since everyone is going on about this....
Interesting. I never looked that closely.
No where in that link did it say Kirk was or was not a punk.
this ^^^
Were you using Webster's Dictionary or Wiki?
I keed, I keed!
Star Wars - Yes. There was a connectedness of those 3 movies that was unforced, effortless.
Star Trek - Although bringing Khan into part 2 from tv series was brilliant!!
Khan is the new villain! FYI everything Star Wars>Star Trek [youtube]wRnSnfiUI54[/youtube]

Well, that commute was fun.
They said we wouldn't get snow. It hasn't really stopped since 7 am yesterday.
Kyle Pomerleau, Is Tax Migration a Myth? (Tax Foundation). Short answer: no. He comments on a much-noted article by James B. Stewart claiming otherwise:
Mr. Stewart is off the mark if he believes he has uncovered a myth. Besides the posturing of celebrities, no one claims that at the very moment someone whispers "tax increase" one thousand millionaires head to the border. What really happens is that these higher tax burdens cause wealth and income to flee to states and countries with lower burdens and higher economic growth over time. High-tax states such as Vermont, Michigan and Missouri have not been magnets for jobs over the long run. Look over at Europe, which is once again scaring investors. It is a continent with excellent climate, culture and an educated workforce, but its high taxes and spending have stalled population and economic growth for a decade or more. America will go that way if we continue down the same path, driving out investment, businesses, and jobs.
Over the years I have seen people move out of Iowa for tax reasons. Back in the 1980s, when Illinois was a low-tax state, I saw an S corporation owner pay for a fancy new house in East Dubuque in one year by the simple expedient of moving across the river from Dubuque. Tax isn't always the decisive factor, but to say it's not a factor at all ignores the most basic tenet of economics: incentives matter.
Their hopes are fulfilled. At least that second one. Wave the jazz hands and hope for the best-Politicians hope that voters are clueless about tax, writes Tim Harford
Richard Morrison, Happy Birthday to the Kennedy Tax Cuts (Tax Foundation)
Congress took up Johnson's suggestion and passed what became the Revenue Act of 1964, which the President signed on February 26, 1964. The bill dropped the top marginal tax rate from 91% to 70% (and also reduced the corporate tax rate from 52% to 48%). In the wake of this reduction on high-earner households, federal revenue actually increased, rising from $94 billion in 1961 to $153 billion in 1968, an increase of 33 percent in real terms.
Clearly the old rates were on the far side of the Laffer Curve.
Jana Luttenegger, Unfortunate Reminder of the Need for Powers of Attorney (Davis Brown Tax Law Blog):
A recent news story in the Des Moines area covered a family looking for assistance to cover legal bills for a family member who is in a coma following a car accident. The family is unable to get access to bank accounts or insurance information, and unable to pay her bills (or even know what bills exist) as they come due. The only way for family members to get access to this information is to go through the court system and have the court appoint someone to take care of those matters.

How about this, professor: lower the top rate to 20% for all income, allow a corporation dividends-paid deduction, and I'm good with getting rid of a capital gain break. Otherwise you are double-taxing earnings, and to the extent gains result from inflation, you are collecting a tax on treading water.
Andrew Lundeen, Buffet Rule Still Not a Good Solution. (Tax Policy Blog) Never will be:
The low rates we sometimes see from wealthy individuals is because they derive much of their income from investments, which is double taxed anyway. A capital gain or dividend is first taxed at the corporate level, as a corporate profit, then at the shareholder level. The result is a combined average tax rate of 56.7 percent in the United States – higher than every developed country in the world except, France, Denmark, and Italy. This creates a huge disincentive to invest, ultimately slowing economic growth.

Nick Cannon calls out Kanye West
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
Nick Cannon slammed Kanye West on Twitter late Wednesday for one of the rapper's recent rants.
As Gossip Cop previously reported, West has beenmaking a series of eyebrow-raising comments inrecent weeks, and in one interview, cockily said it's "factual" he's a "creative genius," and would even list it as his occupation on custom forms "except for two reasons: it takes too long to write and sometimes I spell the word genius wrong."
Cannon, however, can think of another reason West should keep that title to himself.
He tweeted:
I love @KanyeWest like a brother & been one of his biggest fans & friends since day 1, but Genius is eternal patience.
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) November 28, 2013
Cannon went on:
@KanyeWest Real geniuses don't have to tell everyone that they are a geniuses
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) November 28, 2013
He then added:
Maybe I should've just called him and told him that in private. Oops, my bad! Twitter-stream-of-consciousness LOL
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) November 28, 2013
I just got online and saw all these @KanyeWest interviews and I was inspired to rant. Oh well, going back to Thanksgiving. We cookin' son!
