Does anyone have experience with this online training company? It was formerly known as Six Sigma Partners. I'm concerned over a recent payment for LSSGB training and what I have found so far worries me that I'll never see my $499 again.
thanks0January 13, 2012 at 10:24 am #191953
You should be worried, very worried.0January 13, 2012 at 10:43 am #191956
I know now. I called PayPal to stop the payment and open a claim. I did a lot of research last night into the company and the owner- I really wish I had done that prior to paying. I actually got overwhelmed by all of the online choices and made a decision based on the ability to talk directly with a MBB as I went through the course. This is what drew me to buy into it. Wow, what a mistake. We should compare notes on this group- I'm curious what others know.0January 13, 2012 at 11:19 am #191959
Sorry you got burned. This site is a great resource for getting feedback about the LSS community, especially the hacks out there. In the future, toss out the question and since many posters have been in the business from the beginning it is likely that someone on here knows the answer.0January 14, 2012 at 10:26 am #191964
I don't want to rub salt in this wound but when you are that far under market price for something don't you ask yourself why? Even if they would have delivered on the $500 do you honestly believe you would have been on par with people who have years of delivery experience?0January 14, 2012 at 10:33 am #191965
Who did you find as the owner?0January 15, 2012 at 9:18 am #191970
I am researching a place to take the Six Sigma Black Belt but I am scared reading stuff in this forum cus it looks as if others have been duped. Can you advice with recommendations since am going to use loan to finance it. Sorry for being a victim to the bad traps.0January 15, 2012 at 10:08 am #191972
@chris walden – just curious as to why you think you need on-line training? There are many community colleges providing training, and the better ones can even link you up with someone to do a project if needed.0January 15, 2012 at 1:12 pm #191974
Padmore – are looking for a class or online?0January 15, 2012 at 1:33 pm #191978
Is MH still hawking his $99 training CD plus autograph?0January 15, 2012 at 1:40 pm #191981January 15, 2012 at 2:05 pm #191984
@ Let's see if I am as bad at this as you are. Yes, it was directed at you. Not Mrs. Darth yet she is. Much talky talky right now.0January 15, 2012 at 2:49 pm #191987
Let's be careful here. Heather said I did a good job posting your pictures.
I have no clue what Mike is doing or how much he is doing it for.
The new potential Mrs. Darth must be about your age. I assume here eyesight is failing?0January 16, 2012 at 12:19 pm #191995
@chris walden the sixsigmapartners website for certified Black Belt ties to Villa Nova. If you look towards the bottom of the page you will see that it isn't actually Villa Nova. It is Bisk Education that does the "training." Do not be fooled this is a company that procures the rights to use the college name to slap on their product and then they deliver whatever it is that they deliver while their customers are all hoping around going "Oh oh oh I am as certified Black belt by Villa Nova!" Trust me that certification flies with people who suffer from anosmia.
Just my opinion.0January 18, 2012 at 5:56 am #192013
Chris ParetParticipant
First off I'm not trying to push my product, just trying to offer good service to those that are new to this market. @chris walden…. if you're unable to get your money back we (MoreSteam) would provide you with a credit towards a MoreSteam online course.0January 19, 2012 at 5:06 pm #192058
@chris walden – this is a good (aka generous) offer. You will walk away with a certification that has credibility.
Just my opinion.0February 7, 2012 at 11:21 am #192221
Everyone; thanks for your posts. I was weary of how cheap the "program" was, but what sold me vs. my next choice was the "one-on-one" instruction with a certified black belt when you needed it. In my estimation that was important, but turned out to be a falsity and not needed at all. Since my first post I have become certified by The Acuity Institute and I thought their program was good for what it cost me.
Now, on to my situation with Six Sigma Academy. I was denied a refund by PayPal because what I purchased qualified as a "service" and they do not offer refunds on services. So, I have put in a claim with my CC company. Next, I opened a complaint with the Florida Attorney General's office based on a false advertising. Let me tell you why I did this:
Glenn F. Byrnes, the owner of Six Sigma Academy, LLC has a LinkedIn web page (see attached) with his bio. Glenn has his credentials on his linkedin page and also mentions them on the instructor credential page on his website. You will notice he has a "PhD" listed as one of his accomplishments. The "PhD" was from an institution called "Warren National U." from 2008. In 2009 WNU closed due to its inability to gain accreditation. Not only that, but the DOJ has determined that WNU was a diploma mill and has since fired many government employees with diplomas from this school. Furthermore, the state of Texas has a law banning anyone from using a diploma from this school. Use of a diploma from WNU can bring up to a year in prison.
I have since emailed Glenn asking for a refund and letting him know where I was going with my information. He replied that he worked real hard to get his phd and that his website states it does not offer refunds. The very next thing I did was to call the AG's office and initiate a claim.
It isn't just that Six Sigma Academy is offering sub-par education and worthless certifications, they are misleading people into believing that they are much more qualified than they truly are.
By the way, Glenn's website has a direct link to this website. I'm not sure if any of you knew that or not.
Chris0February 7, 2012 at 11:40 am #192222
@Chris Your first post said Six Sigma Partners, now you have said Six Sigma Academy several times. You may want to correct before you get in over your head.0February 7, 2012 at 11:46 am #192223
Looks like it's Lean Six Sigma Academy LLC. The guy does appear to be slippery as he refers to his work in 2002 as "Dr," when he only received it (legit or not) several years later.0February 7, 2012 at 11:47 am #192224
Six Sigma Partners changed their name to Six Sigma Academy, LLC. I've done my homework and nothing I have said here or anywhere else is defamatory or libelous. It is all factual information that can be found online with a single click. Six Sigma Academy is also http://www.sixsigmatraining.us., just FYI.0February 7, 2012 at 11:49 am #192225
The link I meant to post was http://www.leansixsigmatraining.us.0February 7, 2012 at 11:53 am #192226
It's Lean Six Sigma Academy LLC. And I don't think you misspoke, just used the wrong name (again).
Six Sigma Academy is the former company of Dr. Harry and now goes by SSA & Co. Rightfully or not, they are proud of their heritage and will take exception to being wrongfully flamed.0February 7, 2012 at 11:55 am #192227
Not only that, but read the section where he refers to Motorola. He says he was contracted by Motorola in 2002 to rollout a whole new Six Sigma initiative, but then goes on to say that he was certified by Motorola in December of 2002. So, did Motorola ask a completely unskilled and uncertified person to teach this discipline to the entire company? I doubt it. And, conveniently, most of his past employers no longer exist.0February 7, 2012 at 11:59 am #192228
You are correct, I did use the wrong name and I did not intend to do so. The former name was SIX SIGMA PARTNERING, not "Partner" or "Partners" as I have incorrectly typed.0February 7, 2012 at 12:09 pm #192229
Damned internet. Used to be that you could lie about your qualifications and nobody could check on them (or at least it was really difficult). Now, even Stan can check up on folks. It's getting to the point where you actually need to tell the truth.0February 14, 2012 at 6:42 am #192276
Chris @Chris is very miss-informed. Glenn Byrnes and Lean Six Sigma Academy LLC deliver excellent Lean Six Sigma training at a distance and in classroom venues. I have viewed the company website http://www.leansixsigmatraining.us and Dr. Byrnes LinkedIn profile and am very satisfied with what I learned. Also, Warren National University (WNU) was a legitimate institute of higher learning delivering bachelor, masters, and doctorates to a target market of mid-career professionals. WNU operated between 1984 and 2009. It was licensed in the State of Wyoming and was at one time accredited by a International Distance Training Association. Although WNU failed on it's first attempt to attain accreditation, they chose to close operations rather than change their learning model and spend many more hours, dollars, and resources to attain accreditation.0February 14, 2012 at 6:43 am #192277

Sorry, I forget to mention that on the company website there is a Graduate Registry listing the Lean Six Sigma training graduates and providing an email hyperlink to communicate with each of them. I sent a request for recommendation of the Lean Six Sigma Academy LLC training to several graduates and received back only positive responses. The graduates were all very satisfied with their experience and highly recommend this training.0February 14, 2012 at 7:11 am #192279
and you did this as a totally impartial, uninvolved public service? right.0February 14, 2012 at 7:44 am #192281
No, MBBinWI…I like to do my research before I make a purchase. I plan to enroll in Lean Six Sigma Academy LLC\'s distance training program in the near future. I just have not decided between going after Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.0February 14, 2012 at 7:44 am #192282
Is "Al" really Adhir, the customer service rep for Lean Six Sigma Academy? Nice try.
Listen, information about this school as a scam is all over the internet- one lousy positive post isn't going to change years of factual information.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_National_University (wikipedia entry for WNU)
http://www.ripoffreport.com/colleges-and-universities/kennedy-western-univ/kennedy-western-university-w-928dx.htm (ripoff report about WNU)
http://transgallaxys.com/~kanzlerzwo/index.php?topic=6021.0 (originally posted list of names from the DOJ investigation…scroll and you'll find Mr. Byrnes' name)
http://www.spokesmanreview.com/breaking/story.asp?ID=15898 (original outlet that posted the DOJ list of names. The list was later removed, but re-listed on a mirrored site)
Bottom line is this is not legit. Everything I have listed here is fact and can be verified just by clicking my supplied links or doing your own search. By the way, you can't claim to work with "Nike" or "insert any company name here" if a guy who works at Nike takes your course. What a farce.
One of the funnier things that many of the WNU students claim is that they have their transcripts that prove they graduated with X grade point average and the classes they took while enrolled. (Glenn claimed he has his and that he "worked really hard to get his online "PhD"). One major thing wrong here; what school just sends out transcripts to students? The school I went to, a legitimate SEC school, does not allow errant mailing of transcripts. They will only send them out to an institution or business with a proper request.
Good luck convincing me that you are legit. I think there are enough smart people here that will also have a tough time believing your BS.0February 14, 2012 at 7:50 am #192283
"Al", you are fooling nobody. Is this the guy from customer service?0February 14, 2012 at 7:52 am #192284
The web is full of links to articles and information about the illegitimacy of WNU. Everything I have stated here is factual information that can easily be found online with a quick search.0February 14, 2012 at 7:55 am #192285
What I think is so funny is that so many forums online where former students talk about how they were robbed of their degrees and their hard work talk about having a copy of their transcripts. I went to an accredited institution in the SEC and they will not send out transcripts without a formal request from an institution. They will not send me a copy. Just because you say "I worked really hard for my degree" doesn't mean you really earned it. Some articles about investigations turned up degrees for people's pets with GPA's of 3.5, etc. Yeah, I bet their cat worked really hard at WNU.0February 14, 2012 at 7:56 am #192286
Shall I keep going, "Al"?0February 14, 2012 at 8:04 am #192287
Oh, Al, you mention how long WNU was in business as a school of higher learning. You're kind of twisting the truth…a lot, aren't you? The fact is WNU was formerly known as Kennedy Western. Look that one up, folks- some entertaining reading. Name change and constant HQ moves doesn't bode well for legitimizing your institution or the degrees people buy from it.0February 14, 2012 at 8:43 am #192288
Chris @Chris : The attachments to your recent posts are not credible. Since I have time on-hand today, I have looked into Warren National University myself and don\'t see anything to complain about, let alone affect my choice of Lean Six Sigma Academy LLC as my Lean Six Sigma training provider.
Attachments to:
Post #177639: An obscure Internet based article written by the \"Diploma Mill Police\"? Come-on man….this has real credibility?
Post #177641: Another obscure Internet based article that has nothing to do with Warren National University. The article is all about diploma mills operating in Spokane, Washington. Warren National University never operated there.
Post #177643: Another obscure Internet based article announcing the closing of Warren National University. So what\'s the point here?0February 14, 2012 at 8:51 am #192289
Chris @Chris : Woops, I forgot to address you last post #177647. A simple name change from Kennedy-Western University to Warren National University bothers you? Why? WNU/KNU moved it's corporate office twice. So what? WNU/KNU were in operation for 25 years, and was an online university. Who cares where the office is. It's online. None of your arguments hold any water against WNU/KWU. Chris, thanks for getting my attention on these issues. I am convinced more than ever that Lean Six Sigma Academy LLC is the best choice for my Lean Six Sigma training.
Also, I took a look at a group of very satisfied WNU/KWU alumni. Maybe you should to: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2578862&trk=myg_ugrp_ovr0February 14, 2012 at 9:19 am #192290

Al, you seem like a very objective fellow.
You don't think everyone can see through your nonsense. This guy is a scam artist who bought a PhD. And I am pretty sure you are that guy.
Do you think we are stupid?0February 14, 2012 at 1:19 pm #192292
@Chris – Chris: Did you get your LSSGB training course? If not, did you get a refund of your $499?0February 14, 2012 at 2:52 pm #192293
I currently have a dispute with my CC co. I have since become GB certified by the Cuity Institute. They have a good reputation and their price was what I was looking for in a GB cert. I will pay a little more for my BB, but it will be a while until I make that investment.0February 14, 2012 at 5:52 pm #192294
that was supposed to say The Acuity Institute.0February 17, 2012 at 12:40 pm #192309
Chris @Chris That is some good stuff and you have done a good job of presenting it. Nobody is buying the line of BS that Al is handing out.
Back to getting certified. You have a good offer on the table from Moresteam – I would suggest you take advantage of that. Don't lose sight of what you really want to accomplish.
Just my opinion.0February 29, 2012 at 11:55 am #192420
Hi Everyone,
I have an update on my situation and also a request for a contact.
I have filed complaints with multiple national and state of Florida consumer departments as well as the Attorney General's office. All have agreed to investigate and I also have an investigative journalist interested in interviewing me for a story about diploma mills and the people that use these degrees for professional advancement.
I have been successful with my credit card dispute. I am very pleased that they saw the situation the same way as me. However, when I paid LSSA I made payment through paypal and used a current balance in addition to the CC charge. LSSA and Glenn Byrnes still owe me $80.39.
Can anyone here recommend a good civil attorney in Florida? $80 isn't a lot of money and that isn't the point for me. I told Mr. Byrnes I would see this through to the end and getting my $80.39 back is the end of this for me. Thank you in advance. From what I have heard so far the state of Florida is already considering upholding other states laws regarding the use of diplomas from illegal institutions such as Kennedy Western/Warren National as illegal.

This wiki is here to provide information on exactly how I built snowboards at Happy Monkey Snowboards, Inc., so that others may learn from it. This will not be a comprehensive treatment of all the different ways to accomplish these tasks, but rather just the ways that I have personally done it that have yielded success. For alternatives to these techniques see Skibuilders.com and GrafSnowboards.com, where they have collected detailed how-to's on how they and others build boards, and have extensive and active forums with even more information on alternatives.
Many of the articles in this wiki aren't done yet. I've copied a bunch of them over from my blog, but not the pictures yet. I'm also reorganizing them a bit, attempting to separate snowboard processes from equipment building. These are in Category:Not Ready. Take them with a grain of salt.
The following pages provide overviews of various parts of the process, with links to other pages.
- Construction Overview – the steps in building a snowboard assuming you have all the equipment and materials.
- Equipment Overview – the machines needed to build a snowboard.
- Materials Overview -- the materials needed to build a snowboard.
- MonkeyWiki:About – purpose of this site, how to ask questions, and how to contribute.

It's easy to get caught up in the constant talk of Detroit's troubled finances, but not ev ery part of the city is struggling. Downtown has experienced quite a boom with recent developments. But, what does that mean for Detroiters? Are residents getting a piece of the action?
The private sector continues to grow. Large corporations like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Quicken Loans and Warren-based firm Campbell Ewald are moving much of their employment base to the city's center. Add in the anticipated downtown locations for Whole Foods and 7-11, and you'll find that the city is on track to experience an economic resurgence. Will that equal more jobs for those living within the city limits?
In the midst of all the hoopla over a newly-appointed EFM, Detroit teeters on the verge of bankruptcy. It's a situation juxtaposed with the auto industry's recent announcement of record-breaking sales. A sector that knows all too well the reality of the city's current condition, area car makers made a tremendous turnaround from their their state just before the 2009 federal bailout.
Many residents now feel that Detroit represents "a tale of two cities." On one side, promise and prosperity. On the other, desperation and despair. Undoubtedly a standout case, Detroit reflects the cross-country dilemma of a struggling public sector. What's happening in the private realm appears far away from the realities of most ordinary citizens. As the city struggles to maintain providing essential resources to its residents, private companies contemplate opening a new coffee shop, boutique or eatery. While a hopeful climate for area businesses, the city's financial hardships extend from average Detroiters up to local government.
The situation might appear grim, yet some remain encouraged to think of the glass as half full as opposed to half empty.
"More businesses moving into the city means more jobs," said George Jackson, president and CEO of Detroit Economic Growth Corporation.
The DEGC is a non-profit organization that works closely with the City of Detroit and other partners to support existing businesses and to bring new companies and investments to the city. While Jackson eagerly anticipates the prosperity coming to Detroit, he also acknowledges a growing concern among the city's residents.
"The problem is that the current workforce doesn't have the skills required for what's available," he said. "A large segment of the population isn't prepared to take advantage of the opportunities."
Jackson believes training funds must be better utilized to help people prepare for permanent jobs:
"We must work with employers to find out what they need, and be ready to train individuals to fill those positions."
Not all of the jobs coming to the city require a four-year education. We now live in an economic era where technical and vocational opportunities abound. Taking advantage of non-traditional programs has become the quickest route to getting a job, and one that pays well. Jackson recognizes it has become increasingly important for our educational system to prepare students for the fastest growing fields.
Community colleges have served as a breeding ground for talent trained in technical and vocational careers. There are several opportunities available in areas like IT, manufacturing and healthcare. Encouraging students to train for these fields will better help them to compete in the current economy. While Jackson acknowledges that two-year schools are currently doing a "great" job, he expressed that funding must be better allocated so that more individuals can utilize such opportunities. Creating a real connection between job seekers and employers is the key to helping the community tap into the economic boost. Jackson addressed the downfall of our educational system as an area of primary concern.
"Our schools must have a vocational track," he said. "Some of the jobs available require degrees, but some do not. The big question is, do we have the skills required and is Detroit's available workforce prepared?"
With the possibility of major store chains and big business coming to Detroit, George Jackson looks forward to an expanding economic front and its many possible benefits. He expects these new ventures will be successful, and serve as a major boost to the city's economy.
"We're going to soon witness something in Detroit that we haven't seen before," he said.
Granted, the local community faces unique changes. However, it's important that residents remain excited about what's to come and focus on taking the required steps to strengthen their ability to take advantage of upcoming opportunities.

A day for hides?
Looks like snow and rain over the western half of the state today, but there may be geocaching activity in the east because of milder temperatures and (so far) no rain, so it's hard to predict how many new geocaches may show up in the Iowa queue today. Just for fun, I'll predict there will be four new caches submitted today. Check back to see how close my guess is.

Well I placed three today---- but sorry Ken, they won't show in your queue 'cause they are temps for the Cache Bash 2006 at Jester Park. Although I did scope a couple spots that may become permanent afterwards. Got home and found a couple more for the Ames area that I need to work in sometime.

Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 12:34 pm Post subject: Need a way out of a dead end job
Hi Everyone,
I am currently an ICT Technician in a school for autistic children. and I am trying desperately to secure a position higher than a technician. My current position see me configuring servers, networking cabling, installing Cisco switches and many other jobs which are too numerous to list. I have an HND in computer studies, plus various other BTECS in computers, plus I have worked in four diferent secondary schools in the past five years all as an ICT technician.
I have been for interviews for higher posts both in industry and at other schools, I am getting interviews but constantly get pipped at the post. One school I was interviewed for a systems engineer position they phoned and said you didnt get it, but the board really liked you but thought you were more of an ICT technician, he assured me more money would be involved if I accepted the Technician role. I didnt accept mainly because I felt it was a side step.
Can you guys give me some advice on where I should be heading Do, I need more training? Is there anything I can be doing to aid me in getting a higher position than I am currently at?

Windows 8 marks a significant shift in the operating system's development. As more people use tablets and other touchscreen devices as their primary computer, Microsoft wants an OS interface that work's as well with your fingers as it does with a mouse and keyboard. With it's tile-based Metro Interface, Windows 8 is that operating system. And in September 2011, the Microsoft gave the world it's first good look at Metro with the release of the Windows 8 Developer's Preview.
The new Metro interface may be perfect for tablets, smartphones, and even touchscreen PCs, but it can be a real pain for those who use a keyboard and mouse. So during this episode of TR Dojo, I'll show a quick registry tweak that makes the Windows 8 Start button work like it does in Windows 7.

I'm leaning towards getting Mya spayed. Well, first let me tell you she will be 7 months in a week. Anyways, if I get her spayed she won't have to go through her heats and read that fixed dogs will live happier lives? My real question is, should I first wait until she goes through her first heat? I've been told many things like if she has a heat, there will be a higher chance of a disease or a cancer in her reproductive area. I've also been told if I do it before she has her first heat, if her muscles aren't yet much developed, she will drip out urine when she's not peeing? (please explain?) I just want to know of your expirience and some advice.
Thank you.

Welcome to Shit-Together Sunday, a day devoted to shoveling through piles of work in preparation for the piles of work to come this week. After that, I get to pack the shovel away and spend a few weeks tap-dancing on the sidewalk. Which is an unnecessarily contorted way of saying I'm in for an easy March.
This Shit-Together Sunday is brought to you by the delicious bowl of Trix in front of me. Work gives me breakfast every morning, and a few weeks ago I saw a vision of bright-colored sugar balls in the cereal dispenser. Ever since I've been reminded that Cereal Milk is one of the tastiest things ever--the more artificially colored, the better. It's one of the many comfort staples I've surrounded myself with over the last few months.
You know what the latest is? I got Netflix to send me the last season of "The West Wing." I never saw it, because I, like most of America, sort of lost interest in presidential palace intrigue when Bush won his second term. Apart from the emotional manipulation, which I actually sort of liked, it feels good to hear Sorkin's signature-style dialogue (which partially inspired this), and to think, even naively, that smart, capable people are running the country again.
There's much more to write about, like how great the Adirondacks were, how my 25 Things About Me is coming along, and how Robert and I attended a beekeeping seminar yesterday and have already signed up for the Spring Hive Inspection. After I get my Shit Together, I have to comb the web for mini bee suits.
Mmm. Honeycomb. Gotta get me a box of that.

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
U.S. stock-index futures soared Tuesday as anxiety over Ukraine cooled, leaving Wall Street poised to recover from heavy losses taken in the last session.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
As of 8:00 a.m. ET, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures soared 171 points, or 1.1%, to 16319, S&P 500 futures jumped 20 points, or 1.1%, to 1863 and Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 40.5 points, or 1.1%, to 3709.
Wall Street can be quick to forget. A day after war between Ukraine and Russia appeared imminent, the situation took a turn toward a more peaceful resolution. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the country doesn't intend on annexing Crimea -- the predominantly-Russian region in Southeast Ukraine. Putin also pulled his troops that were participating in a exercise on the Western side of the country back to base, helping deescalate tension.
Analysts said the moves helped reduce the chances of international sanctions against Russia, which could have weighed on multi-national businesses.
At the same time, the international community began the process of crafting financial assistance for struggling Ukraine. The U.S. Treasury Department said early Tuesday it is assembling a $1 billion loan guarantee program.
Despite the relative calm, several traders warned the situation could still turn at any point.
"It's going to flare up," said Michael Block, chief strategist at Rhino Trading Partners. "Having lulled everyone back into complacency, Putin will now take any pretext to go back in to 'protect Russian interests.'"
Mirroring that sentiment to some extent, analysts at Societe Generale also issued a warning to clients.
"Investors will remain hostage in the near-term to the political news flow that comes out of the region but Russia's central bank decision to raise rates by [1.5%] and tweak its intervention mechanism has restored some stability," they said.
Elsewhere, U.S. crude oil futures slid $1.27, or 1.2%, to $103.65 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline jumped 1% to $2.79 a gallon. Gold slid $15.90, or 1.2%, to $1,334 a troy ounce.
In corporate news, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) boosted the size of its stock-buyback program by $5 billion and hiked its dividend.
The U.S. economic docket is bare on the day.

Chipping Away At The First Amendment: New 'Trespassing' Bill Could Be Used To Criminalize Legitimate Protests
from the chip-chip-chip dept
Current law makes it illegal to enter or remain in an area where certain government officials (more particularly, those with Secret Service protection) will be visiting temporarily if and only if the person knows it's illegal to enter the restricted area but does so anyway. The bill expands current law to make it a crime to enter or remain in an area where an official is visiting even if the person does not know it's illegal to be in that area and has no reason to suspect it's illegal.The specifics of the law pretty clearly seem to make it a crime to do a standard form of protest, such as anything that "impedes or disrupts the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions" or just if someone "engages in disorderly or disruptive conduct in, or within such proximity to, any restricted building or grounds...." As Amash notes, there can be times when it makes sense to protect certain individuals, but "disorderly or disruptive" conduct is a pretty broad brush... and it's one very frequently abused by law enforcement officials.
Some government officials may need extraordinary protection to ensure their safety. But criminalizing legitimate First Amendment activity -- even if that activity is annoying to those government officials -- violates our rights. I voted "no." It passed 388-3.
You know all those stories we've had about people being arrested for filming police? Quite often those people are charged with disorderly conduct -- which often seems to boil down to "that person did something law enforcement doesn't like." To then take that and say that anything that constitutes disorderly conduct on the grounds of a building where someone who is protected by the Secret Service is a crime, it appears to be wide open to abuse, and a pretty clear restriction on the free speech rights of anyone wishing to engage in normal and healthy protest of our political process.
On top of that, the punishment can be pretty severe. You can get up to a year in jail for being found guilty of these things, and that jumps up to 10 years if you are carrying a "deadly or dangerous weapon."
As Amash notes, there are legitimate safety concerns to be aware of, and there are issues with doing something that significantly impedes government regulations. But it's really not difficult to see how this bill could very, very easily be stretched to be used against those doing standard protesting against significant political figures.

White Sox to open 2014 at home against Twins
CHICAGO -- The 2013 season still has 19 games remaining for the White Sox. But in reality, they have been focusing on 2014 since somewhere around the All-Star break.
There are now opponents and dates to look forward to, with the '14 schedule released on Tuesday.
CHICAGO -- The 2013 season still has 19 games remaining for the White Sox. But in reality, they have been focusing on 2014 since somewhere around the All-Star break.
There are now opponents and dates to look forward to, with the '14 schedule released on Tuesday.
Minnesota stands as the home opener and season opener for the White Sox, with the Twins visiting U.S. Cellular Field on March 31, April 2 and 3. The South Siders then embark on a road trip that includes stops in Kansas City from April 4-6 and their first Interleague series in Colorado from April 7-9.
Interleague home games feature Arizona (May 9-11), San Francisco (June 17-18), and the Padres (May 30-June 1). Their road Interleague schedule besides the Rockies takes the White Sox to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers from June 2-4.
Then, there's the matchups with the Cubs, who swept all four from the White Sox this season. The home-and-home four-game set begins with two games at Wrigley Field on May 5 and 6, followed by two games at U.S. Cellular on May 7-8.
In a strange '13 scheduling quirk, the White Sox and Tigers didn't meet until July 9 at Comerica Park. The two teams won't wait that long next season, with the White Sox going to Detroit from April 21-24 and the Tigers visiting Chicago for two games beginning April 29.
Jake Peavy and the Red Sox come to Chicago from April 15-17, while the White Sox go to Fenway Park from July 7-10. The Yankees pay Chicago a visit from May 22-25, followed by the Indians (May 26-28) and the Padres, and the White Sox go to Yankee Stadium from Aug. 22-24.
This season was long out of reach by the team the calendar turned to September, which made 15 home games out of the White Sox final 20 games pretty much a moot point. The White Sox have 11 home games next September against Oakland (8-11), the Twins (12-14) and then finish things off with the Royals from the 25-28.
It's the plan of general manager Rick Hahn and the White Sox that they will have something significant to play for by the time that last month rolls around.
"There's no doubt in my mind," said White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn, who will be in the final year of a four-year deal in '14. "We know we have the talent obviously. We've got the pitching.
"We just need to figure it out offensively what the problem is. Is it that 10 or 12 guys had some down years or is it some guys don't have anything left or is that we are just not very good? Maybe I'm in loser denial. We'll worry about next year when next year happens, but I'm definitely not thinking this is going to happen again."

Final sex-abuse lawsuit against Elmo actor tossed
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A judge in the U.S. has dismissed the last of five sex-abuse lawsuits filed against the puppeteer who voiced the popular "Sesame Street" character Elmo.
The ruling does not weigh the merits of the claims but says 25-year-old accuser Sheldon Stephens filed suit too late against actor Kevin Clash.
Stephens has publicly accused Clash of luring him into a sexual relationship when he was a minor.
The judge says Stephens failed to sue by age 19 under laws in New York, where their meetings took place. Stephens had sued in Pennsylvania, where longer time limits apply.
Clash's lawyer, Michael Berger, says Clash can now move forward with his life. He had resigned from "Sesame Street" amid the accusations.
Stephens' lawyer did not immediately return calls for comment.

We've known for many years that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has plenty of football skills, but it seems that he's a pretty good horse racing handicapper as well.
Brady was at the Kentucky Derby in Louisville over the weekend and was caught on video celebrating Orb's victory with as much excitement as the horse's owners immediately after the race came to a close. There's a lot of hugging, back slapping and an appearance by former Patriots Tedy Bruschi, Dan Koppen and Wes Welker as well during a scrum that raised the question of just why Brady was so excited about a win for the Janney and Phipps families.
According to the Boston Herald, it is because Brady had a pretty big win of his own on Saturday. Brady reportedly bet $4,700 on Orb to win the race, a wager that wound up returning $25,000 when he crossed the line before any of the other 18 horses. Brady certainly wasn't putting his life savings on the line, but that kind of win at the track would certainly explain all the whooping at Churchill Downs.

The No. 25 Colonels took an early two touchdown lead but were unable to hold on as they fell 20-14 to No. 18 Trinity in a matchup of unbeaten Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference teams Saturday in San Antonio, Texas.
With the victory, Trinity (9-0, 5-0 SCAC) secures the SCAC's automatic playoff bid and at least a share of the conference championship. After suffering its first loss of the year, Centre falls to 7-1 overall with a 4-1 conference record.
After a scoreless first quarter, the Colonels jumped out to a 14-0 lead on a pair of second quarter rushing touchdowns. Junior Monte Scotton (Cleveland, Tenn.) got Centre on the board by capping a nine-play, 73-yard drive with a seven yard touchdown run with 5:13 to go in the half. After forcing a three-and-out, the Colonels went 42 yards in eight plays with Jonathan Pinque (Athens, Ala.) scoring from six yards out for the 14-0 lead.
Unfortunately for the Colonels, it was the last time they would find the end zone. Trinity cut the margin to 14-7 when Nykolas McKissic found Jonathan Osei-Kuffour on a 15-yard pass with six seconds left before halftime. Later, the Tigers tied the game when backup quarterback Mason Blaschke lined up in the slot, caught a backward pass from McKissic and threw to Riley Walker on a 23-yard touchdown strike.
On its next offensive series, Trinity took the lead for good when Patrick Granchelli plunged in from a yard out, set up by a 33-yard Osei-Kuffour reception down to the Centre 1-yard-line.
Though Centre held Trinity scoreless the rest of the way, the Colonels were unable to take advantage. Down six points, Centre twice drove into Trinity territory in the fourth quarter, turning the ball over on downs at the 18-yard-line early in the quarter and later stalling at the 19 on an incomplete pass as time ran out.
Pinque went on to finish with 83 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries while Scotton added 51 yards on the ground and another score. Senior quarterback Tyler Osterman (Monroe, Ohio) completed 15 of 30 passes for 122 yards while Austin Jones (Louisville, Ky.) was the top receiver with two catches for 43 yards. Granchelli picked up 101 yards and a touchdown on the ground for Trinity while McKissic threw for 121 and a score.
Centre wraps up the regular season when it hosts Rhodes next Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Farris Stadium in Danville, Ky.

FAIRHAVEN — The fourth quarter was none to kind to the Fairhaven High School girls' and boys' basketball teams in a recent pair of home games at the Barton B. Leach Gymnasium. On Sunday, the Lady Devils battled toe-to-toe with the South Coast Conference's top team, Old Rochester, for three quarters. But the home team went ice cold in the fourth, or looking at it from another angle, had their hands tied by a stingy Lady Bulldog defense, and faded to the tune of a 44-37 win for the visitors.
The loss marked the end of a seven-game win streak for Fairhaven.
"We were tired, mentally tired, I guess," said Fairhaven head coach Jeff Perry. "We've had a bunch of games in the last few days, and maybe it caught up with us in that fourth quarter. They play such tough defense, and they just wear you down.
"They just make you work for your shots, and we couldn't get a clean look in the fourth quarter. I wasn't happy with the ball movement at the end there, either. We just didn't play well at all in the fourth."
Thanks to four straight points by Kay Mullen to close out the third quarter, the Lady Devils were ahead 32-30 going into the fourth, but ORR out scored Fairhaven 14-5 on the quarter, and defensively, the Lady Bulldogs went into lock-down mode. Fairhaven had trouble with the half-court offense and struggled to get an open shot on the quarter, and Perry says the team's inability get stops on the defensive end and kick start the usual run-and-gun offense was the difference.
"You can hear me yell a thousand times a game 'run, run, run,' which is what we want to do," Perry said. "We want to just get out and go. We're a much better team when we run. This winning streak is a result of us pushing the ball every game, and for some reason we put on the brakes and didn't really push it tonight.
"Coming into this game, we had won seven in a row and we were scoring 60-plus points per game. ORR is a very tough defensive team, so I didn't expect to put up 60 tonight"¦ but, we had the win streak because we were running, and when we were running today, we were successful. We just didn't do it enough."
Kay Mullen had 16 points and nine rebounds on the night. Briana Pelton had eight points, including two 3-pointers, and Ashley Brown had eight points, too. Mariah Nicholas had five.
The two teams met in a rematch Tuesday night at ORR, but the Lady Bulldogs ran away with that one for a 49-16 win.
Fairhaven is now 9-4 overall and 8-4 in the SCC. Up next, the Lady Devils travel to Bourne this Friday night. Game time is 6:30 p.m. They're at New Bedford Monday night at 7 p.m., and they're back at home Tuesday night against New Bedford Voc-Tech at 6:30 p.m.
On Tuesday night, the FHS boys hosted ORR and were well in command until the fourth quarter.
Behind Cam Charette, who had a team high 21 points, including four 3-pointers, the Devils built a solid 29-19 lead going into the half, and they led by 15 heading into the fourth. But those fourth-quarter blues caught up with the Devils this time, and the Bulldogs went on a 22-2 run in the final eight minutes and left town with a 46-41 win.
Matt Myers chipped in with eight points, including two 3-pointers, and Dan McLaughlin had 7 points. Raekwon Phillips led the way for ORR with 16 points.
The Devils, now 4-10 overall and 2-9 in the SCC, host Bourne Friday night at 6:30 p.m.

Do you like going to school?
I never like going to school because of dumb people and bullyers
SO TIRED ! High school is the last place people would like to go to learn.
I'm hwaiting to go the college because it's a new world and people don't care
of your bussness at all . But it's my last year in high school .
Enjoy the free time when homework doesn't come . :Psy:
I liked school last year, even with the homework, but this year they changed the curriculum and timetable and I just cant get used to it I really dread going back after the holiday!
I love and loved highschool, people didn't barate you 24/7, and I didn't get analyzed by my family.
Kuudere - Visit my Youtube channel
I've always enjoyed school! I've always liked learning.
I think I was lucky in my high school experience - I had fun teachers and the school wasn't full of douchebags and slutty wannabes.
College was great (even though it was only two years - it passed too fast!!), that's where I made some of the best friends I've ever had and all the teachers were very likable and the courses were fun.
Now, I'm really liking University (even though I haven't really managed to meet anyone yet - it's really hard to find someone to talk to in an impersonal setting like a 250 person amphitheater). I'm finally getting to actually study stuff I've always liked and been interested in on the side but was never part of the curriculum in high school or college!
Overall, I have very positive memories of all my schooling...
I am here to see with eyes unclouded by hate. - Prince Ashitaka
I like going to school because of the potential friends (and maybe more than friends) that you can make. :)
The only things I dislike about it is HW, but that's it (don't like being disturbed at home)
I miss those days, because it was so damn easy. Not a care in the world.
Watching K-dramas instead of sleeping....;D
Hmm I enjoy going to socialize with people, I hate being bullied into learning though o.o

Indeed it is.
[Enter life resembling quote here]
School is a waste of years of your life. I mean, it's awesome for the first 8-9 years, because there's a legitimate chance that learning will occur for most peeps, i.e. for peeps whose dads didn't teach them algebra as a fifth grader...like me....in which case you're markedly more sharp than most of your teachers for your whole life because you answer questions like it was a joke, and meanwhile they probably passed their algebra class with an 80-something not long before getting a teaching certification because they're never gonna go to an engineering college and learn calculus, they just wanted a job...
In any case, learning is great, but if you're gonna be reading books by dead guys in a humor class in twelfth grade and writing super insincere papers about them instead of like, working, or doing anything better, it gets pretty silly.
FA LA LA LA LA LA, LA LA *runs away*
Of course, I have been in college for the past 8 years of my life (undergrad and grad) and I love to learn new information and have the chance to discuss my interpretations and opinions with others
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
hell no !
I don't like studying...
...But I enjoy making a fool out of ourselves in school with my good friends...!
If "Nobody" is indestructible...Then I'm "Nobody"....!!!
Nope been done with school for like 5 years but if I could do it all over again I would... Even if i hated the 'school' part I still liked being around everyone. Nowadays I barely talk to anyone from school...

So I think I'm close to having a purchase list.
Wetsounds WS420
Wetsounds SD2
Wetsounds REV10 (pair)
I'll keep the Rockford Fosgate amp in place and let it keep driving the sub and the cabin speakers.
The last step for me is to get all the wire/etc I'll need.
Currently, the power wire to the amp in the starboard helm is 10ga. It measures to about 15-20 feet from the battery switch in the starboard locker. I included a pic of the current setup. The 10ga wire comes off the battery switch, it looks like it goes back to the battery, but it just meets up with the black mate wire and heads off toward the amp over the fuel tank and up the vent hole. There is currently a 25 amp fuse in line. The 40amp fuse is for the power to the main helm.
So, what gauge wire and what level of fuse do I need for the new setup. Should I leave the 10ga wire in place and run a separate power wire to the SD2 or should I run one large wire to the amps and then split the power with a power block?
Furthermore, is my current dual battery setup adequate for what I am planning? We don't really run the radio a bunch with the motor off. Usually only run the radio with the motor (02 LTR) off to fill ballast or to make a "pit stop" for the kids.
Thanks again for all your help.
10ga power wire and 25a, Yikes!
RF recomends 80a - http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftec...nch4Ch-MAN.pdf
WS rd2 recomends 60a at 4ohm (your current plan) and 107a at 2 ohm (what you would do if adding a second pair)
At the low end, 140a total is pushing the max recomended amperage for 4 ga at 150a at 20'.
As I recomended earlier, bite the bullet and go with a single run of 1/0. Resistance will be less which will give better voltage, less heat and room to expand. The next logical addition would be a sub amp which would definiately put you over the top, buying more wire, fuses etc and wasting more time with an additional run. Just do it right the first time.
1/0 can be difficult to get a good crimp. Either buy the wire from KnuKonceptz and take it to a stereo shop to have it terminated correctly (its only 2, one pos one neg) they will prob charge $5 each. Or order from here - http://shop.genuinedealz.com/Marine%20Grade%20Wire/ Have them do the ring end and it will be right and tight.
DO NOT mess with an amp kit. It is full of worthless junk and not enough negative wire. A straight run from the switch and from ground is needed (usually equal lengths)
Knu 1/0 wire - http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDe...?prodID=KFX0BK
4 ga from distribution block to amps. Get a general idea where things will mount to estimate total wire then add a couple feet. Its much better to have a little slack or some left over than be short. I am not a fan of straight and tight wire. It looks pretty on the initial install but down the road, things change, an amp blows or needs upgraded and now you are 8" short because the wire has to go to the other side of the new amp....
Dont use glass agu fuses. They have poor connections and are inferior to the mini ANL.
2 of these - http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDe...?prodID=KNF-23
one positive, one neg for power distribution from primary power to amps. Order 1 with 3x80 amp and 1 with 3x120amp.
1 of these - http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDe...?prodID=KNI-11 fused less than 18" from battery end. 180amp option
Knu will ship them all with fuses but order an extra 5 pack of 60amp. Fuses are cheap in bulk but you need to carry them as few places will stock the higher power parts and a shop that does will usually bend you over for them.
You will then have plenty to make what ever combo you need.
Ring terminals - http://www.knukonceptz.com/productMa...%20Accessories
at least 2 pos/neg. the install should only require one each but things happen....
Another battery would be ideal but not necessary if you dont play long with engine shut off.
DO install a dual bank charger and plug in each night if possible. Batteries will last MUCH longer.
Make life easy on yourself and get a pair of cable cutters. Harbor freight has a cheap pair http://www.harborfreight.com/10-inch...ter-40507.html
or you can find others for about $25 at most hardware stores.
They cut the big cable smoother than your usual pair cuts 18ga speaker wire. Trust me, it beats hacking your way though with regular wire cutters!
Use di-electric grease on all bare wire and fuse connections to minimize corrosion.
Rock On!

thank you for the detailed write up. i've used genuinedealz a few times before and they have been great. quick question, when using the power blocks or the inline fuse from knuknocepz, you don't need any special termination other than stripping the end and putting the little threaded piece over the end and screwing it in? thanks, again.
Nothing special, just strip the specified amount, dont deviate too much.
The Knu "kompression" fittings are better than the standard "stick it in and turn allen bolt" design.
They push though then mushroom over before the sleeve is inserted and tightened against the block. This gives greater contact area and wire is really locked in. I have never had loose wire / pull out problems with Knu's design unlike the standard allen screw.
do you guys think a ring terminated 1/0 will attach to my battery switch with the other wires already there?
also, how would i handle the ground wire? the ground terminals of the 2 batteries (one in each locker) are currently connected with standard battery cable. which battery would i attach the 1/0 ground to and do the battery grounds then need to then be connected with 1/0 cable?
Looking at the pic above, I feel you will be able to connected your 1/0 cable on the C post of the switch.
Ground: Connect the stereo/amp 1/0 trunk line GND to the closest battery. Shorter the better. The current flow through the original battery cable will still be the starter draw and alternator current, where as the stereo will be pulling primarily off the batteries. What size cable is the GND linking the two banks? The gauge if this cable would be more important to the stereo. If both banks are grounding to the block, then I would consider the size of both cables. It never hurts to upgrade a cable, but its not always necessary.
#2 battery is in the starboard locker and it's GND is connected to the GND on battery #1 in the port locker. The size of the wire is 2 AWG. The only battery grounded to the block is the #1 battery in the port locker.
The 2ga should be acceptable if you are running the wd2 at 4ohm. 2ohm might be pushing it but the shorter run would help.
Should be plenty of room on the post, especially since the old 10ga will be removed.
glad to hear i can leave the 2ga ground alone. i'm going to reuse the 10ga. i'll pull it out of the port helm and run it to the starboard helm to power the WS-420. thanks for all your help.

Flanger TonePrint by Orianthi
Orianthi asked for a bit of depth to her sound and went for a classic flange sound which is nice and clean sounding. Recommended settings: set all knobs to 12 o'clock for the standard TonePrint and then adjust to taste.

Other TonePrints by Orianthi
TC: Who inspired you over the years when you were creating your own personal guitar tone? Orianthi: I love listening to Carlos Santana, Steve Vai, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix. It's important to find a tone that fits your personality, to find the right amount of gain, reverb and delay etc.
TC: What are the main ingredients in your tone in terms of effects (e.g. chorus, flanger, delay, etc.)? Orianthi: I use a harmonizer, flanger, phaser, chorus, delay and reverb.
TC: Have you ever been so inspired by a tone you created that you ended up writing a tune based on that specific tone? Orianthi: Yeah, a song I wrote a while ago called Lights of Manos. I was experimenting with effects and started to write that tune with the spacey chord sound that i created.
TC: Do you work on developing your tone continuously, or do you feel that you have found a fundamental tone that will last throughout your career? Orianthi: I think it is very important to find your own voice and tone on the guitar. I would say mine is in the middle of being rock and blues. I like my gain to sustain notes but then i also like a lot of clarity so it's not just a wall of sound. My guitar tech Dan "Borga" ONeil is always tweaking my tone and effects to match the album but we have come really close. But live we come up with some weird ones and have fun with them.
TC: What inspired you when you created your TonePrint(s)? Orianthi: How simple it was to create.
TC: You had access to a lot of tweakable parameters. Did any new ideas for future tones pop up in the process? Orianthi: Yeah, when you are messing around with effects/tones you're always trying to create something new and cool. There might be some surprises in the future.
TC: Normally, do you prefer having access to many parameters, or do you like simple pedals with just a few knobs better? Orianthi: At rehearsals or soundcheck we will experiment with tones by accessing parameters and locking them in for the shows. I tend to let my guitar tech Danny handle adjustments and let him know what I am looking for and he designs the rest.
TC: How come you signed up for creating your own personal TonePrint(s)? Orianthi: TC has been a big supporter of me and my gear has become a staple in my sounds I wanted to see see how much more we could expand.
TC: In your opinion, what is the single coolest thing about TonePrints? Orianthi: Again it has to be the simplicity.
TC: Did a specific song or album inspire this specific TonePrint? Orianthi: I am a big fan of the 80's and how the guitar tones really stood out. I was looking for a dramatic edgy tone with a lot of clarity.
TC: How does this TonePrint fit into your curent sound and gear set-up? Orianthi: I use many different effects and working with the chorus and the flanger, well, those are two sounds I use live in many songs and solos.
TC: How did you go about creating this specific TonePrint? Orianthi: You will have to ask Danny my guitar tech he does the building stuff, I just played and told him when I liked something.
TC: How long did it take before you were satisfied with the result? Orianthi: It was literally a few minutes and it was dialed right in.
TC: What type of sound did you set out to achieve with your TonePrint, and did you succeed? Orianthi: Something that would enhance my solos and stand out when playing live and I really think we succeeded.Read more about Orianthi

NS: U.S. stock indexes up modestly as oil recoups some losses
Stocks are off to a mixed start Tuesday, while energy companies rose along with the price of crude oil.
ON WALL STREET: The Standard & Poorâs 500 index was up 3.2 points, about 0.1 percent, at 2,344.4.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 33.9 points, about 0.2 percent, to 20,584.9. The Nasdaq composite slipped 2.1 points, about 0.04 percent, to 5,837.8.
Bond prices rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.37 percent.
MAKING MOVES: Newfield Exploration rose 1.3 percent in the first few minutes of trading Tuesday. Industrial companies were lower. Northrop Grumman fell 0.5 percent. Darden Restaurants, owner of Olive Garden, gained 6 percent and software company Red Hat rose 5 percent after reporting results that beat analystsâ expectations.
INVESTORS WORRY: Worries that Washington may not be able to help businesses as much as once thought knocked stock indexes down hard early Monday, but they clawed back most of their losses and ended the day mixed. The S&P lost 0.1 percent to 2,341.59 for its seventh drop in the last eight sessions. The Dow sank 0.2 percent, to 20,550.98.
TRUMP SLUMP: Last weekâs failure by Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which they have pledged to do for years, raised doubts that Washington can push through other promised changes to help businesses. Investors have been anticipating that President Donald Trump and the Republican-led Congress will cut taxes, loosen regulations for companies and institute other corporate-friendly policies.
ANALYSTâS TAKE: âMarkets appear reluctant to take the Trump disappointment too much further at this stage,â analyst Ric Spooner of CMC Markets said in a report. âWith U.S. economic growth showing signs of improvement and the Fed clearly embarked on a monetary tightening cycle, the significant correction that has already occurred in bonds and the U.S. dollar may already reflect an adequate wind back of the marketâs Trump exuberance.â
OIL PRICES: Benchmark U.S. crude gained 52 cents to $48.25 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 24 cents on Monday to $47.73. In London on the Intercontinental Exchange Europe, Brent crude, used to price international oils, rose 48 cents to $51.23 a barrel. It lost 2 cents the previous session.
OIL WORRIES: Oil prices have sagged below $50 â a boon to importers but a blow to developing countries that rely on crude sales to pay for imports. Benchmark U.S. crude could fall to $40 per barrel before tight oil producers cut back and supply stops increasing, analyst Carl B. Weinberg of High-Frequency Economics said in a report. âOil-producing emerging economies will earn less foreign currency,â said Weinberg. âThis will impair their ability to import: World trade will resume its persistent decline.â
AMERICAN AIRLINES: American Airlines agreed to pay $200 million for a stake in China Southern Airlines, the biggest of Chinaâs three major state-owned carriers, to gain better access to the countryâs growing travel spending. China Southern said the two airlines will expand commercial cooperation, possibly in sales, airport facilities and code-sharing.

Where Have All the Cowboys Gone
It's funny how people get so offended and hurt when the team loses (understandably, I'm one of the guilty). It's a preseason game, not a playoff game. The good thing is we can learn from the experience and it isn't going to hurt us one bit. Of course it's nice to win every game no matter the caliber, but sometimes it helps not to go into the season with a "big head" or overblown confidence when you start playing teams like New England and Chicago just to name a few.
I do believe that Gramatica has lost his job as starting kicker, especially if the rumors are true that he pulled a hamstring Saturday night. Missing an extra-point kick is really not the way you impress your coach when you're battling for the starting position. Of all teams, we certainly know how much a missed kick can hurt!
If you're wondering when to expect Greg Ellis back on the field, good luck finding the answer. No one knows or can even speculate when to expect the veteran linebacker's return. Jerry Jones is determined that Ellis will be back, at least that's what he is saying in front of the cameras. I've heard a third medical opinion is being sought. Expect to see rookie Anthony Spencer on the field in his place when the season kicks off.
Several other injured Cowboys missed the game on Saturday. Anthony Fasano, Terence Newman and Terry Glenn did not participate but are all expected to start in the season opener. Terence Newman will likely feel pain throughout the season after being diagnosed with a torn plantar fascia in his right heel. Anthony Fasano is sitting out after receiving a sprained shoulder in the second preseason game. And last but certainly not least, Terry Glenn is still recovering after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery during Training Camp.
As the Cowboys prepare to travel to Minnesota for the final preseason game, we should keep a close watch on the roster. Several players will be cut tomorrow, bringing the roster number down to 75. I don't think we will see much from the first string on Thursday because September 1st the team will be trimmed down to the standard 53-man roster. It's always interesting and certainly unpredictable to see who will go and who will stay.
