Clark, Redman practice; five others don'tPosted by on October 31, 2012 – 4:50 pm
Five players missed practice on Wednesday, including running back Jonathan Dwyer (quadriceps), tackle Marcus Gilbert (ankle), safety Troy Polamalu (calf), and linebackers Stevenson Sylvester (hamstring) and LaMarr Woodley (hamstring).
In addition, running backs Baron Batch (shin), and Rashard Mendenhall (Achilles) practiced only on a limited basis.
There was good news, though, as safety Ryan Clark was a full participant in practice after suffering a concussion against the Washington Redskins on Sunday.
"I got dinged. It was a football play," said Clark. "I passed my test this morning that I had to take. Practice was another test. You have to make sure none of the other systems linger from having a concussion. I feel good. I am going to continue preparing to get ready for the game on Sunday."
Also back on the practice field was running back Isaac Redman, who missed the last few weeks with an ankle injury.
"I feel pretty good," said Redman. "I got loosened up as practice went along. I felt good. There were no problems.
"I am ready to go. I have been sitting out too long. I am ready to get back on the field."

I hope Polamalu gets better soon. We really need him. Glad to see Clark and Redman doing well. So many injuries this year. Its not even funny. Hopefully we get healthy again at the right time…

We need Issac, Ryan and anyone else who is healthy, we can win this week-end if we play Steelers football.

So happy to see Clark up and going. We REALLY need him on the field. Hopefully, we can get Woodley back and Troy, and everyone at ome point during this season to play as a full team. However, if they play later rather than sooner, maybe that will be the best, maybe this team will come on late as they have been known to do in former superbowl years. Go Steelers.

I really hate to see Dwyer on the list of those not practicing. He has given us a huge lift the past two games with his hard running. We really need him on the field against the Giants.

Yes we have a lot of key players injured but with our team we have always had the next man up mentality. I think we need to rest players like TROY and RASHARD until they are 100% becaus ebrining them back too early just to have them risk being injured for the end of the season or the playoffs isn't worth it. We are playing well with the players filling in for the injured we have had a 4th quater lead in every game this season we just need to hold on 1 more drive on D or sit on the ball and run the clock on O… but putting the season into perspective we are not real far away from 7-0 but thats the NFL. All we have to do is stick to the fundimentals and we wil be fine no matter who is asked to play.

You guys shoulds start Dwyer regardless. Best back this year by far I know injuries haven't helped but they happen. Back to Back 100+ games is huge for the passing game. Let him take a run at it. Cant do any better than mendenhall his 2 games this season with 74 yds.

A long time ago, when our now classic Chevys were new, folks didn't know any better when it came to handling. The cars wallowed through the curves, but most cars handled poorly, so there was nothing to compare them to. Thus the term, "ignorance is bliss."
Today we climb out of our newer daily driver and into our classic Chevy, and we become immediately and painfully aware of how badly the old cars find their way around corners. To make matters worse, many of the old musclecars suffer from worn out parts that only magnify the problem.
Our idea was to find a tired Chevy-in this case a '69 Nova-baseline the car with stock junk, and then bolt on the new gear and test it again. Simple. To make this a true suspension test, and not a tire test, we were sure to do the before and after runs on the same Nitto tires and Vintage Wheel Works rollers.
We also wanted to use parts that the average guy could afford and be able to bolt in place. The front would get some tubular control arms, new springs, and a beefier sway bar while the back would get a shiny new set of leaf springs. We had a plan, a car, and for parts we cruised over to Classic Performance Products (CPP) for some suspension TLC.
Time To Thrash At The TrackSure, the new parts look a ton better, but the real question was, how much would they improve the handling of our '69 Nova? As stated earlier, we did the before testing of the old suspension on the same 17-inch Vintage Wheel Works wheels wrapped in Nitto 555 rubber, just to keep everything fair. This way it would be a suspension test and not a tire test, since we already know that any car's handling is improved with a good set of tires mounted up.
During the before testing, our Nova laid over when pushed though the cones-to the point where the front tires dug into the inner fenders. This caused the car to lurch and made maneuvering though the cones that much harder. It also suffered from too much understeer.
After many runs we ended up with a best average speed through the 420 feet of cones of 41.7 mph. With the new CPP goodies installed, we had another go at dodging cones and were rewarded with a best run of 45.1 mph! That's a huge improvement over the previous number, but more important, the car just felt better. The Nova stayed much flatter and it transitioned through the cones much more smoothly.
The main players in our front rebuild are these tubular control arms (PN 6774TCA-ULK-S, $733). The arms are designed to provide full wheel travel and minimal friction. The upper control arms are made from 1-1/4-inch x .120-inch wall and the lower is 1-1/2-inch x .120 wall D.O.M. tubing. The pivot barrels are thick 1-1/2-inch .188-inch wall D.O.M. tubing to eliminate distortion from welding and hard use. The geometry has been approved as well, since the upper control arms allow for 5 degrees of caster.

Sea-level rise may not be eating away at Colorado's borders, but climate change exposes other critical vulnerabilities in the state, according to a new report. Rising temperatures likely will take a toll on cattle and crops, for example, and could more often leave junior water rights holders with little water and few options.
During two days of intensive airborne measurements, oil and gas operations in Colorado's Front Range leaked nearly three times as much methane, a greenhouse gas, as predicted based on inventory estimates, and seven times as much benzene, a regulated air toxic.
In the first half of the nineteenth century, American settlers pushed westward into the Great Plains, lured to the prairies by the agricultural promise of their dark, rich soils.
Within a century, America's tallgrass prairies—which once stretched across more than 150 million acres, from Minnesota south to Texas and from Illinois west to Nebraska—had all but vanished under settlers' plows. The demise of the tallgrass prairie also meant the demise of dozens of species of grasses that could grow to the height of a man, hundreds of species of flowers and herds of roaming bison.
Last July, something unprecedented in the 34-year satellite record happened: 98 percent of the Greenland Ice Sheet's surface melted, compared to roughly 50 percent during an average summer. Snow that usually stays frozen and dry turned wet with melt water. Research led by the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences now shows last summer's extreme melt could soon be the new normal.
As the planet warms, Earth's climate zones are shifting at an accelerating pace, says a new study led by a scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, a joint venture between the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
A new look at conditions after a Manhattan-sized asteroid slammed into a region of Mexico in the dinosaur days indicates the event could have triggered a global firestorm that would have burned every twig, bush and tree on Earth and led to the extinction of 80 percent of all Earth's species, says a new University of Colorado Boulder study.
A team led by the University of Colorado Boulder looking for clues about why Earth did not warm as much as scientists expected between 2000 and 2010 now thinks the culprits are hiding in plain sight -- dozens of volcanoes spewing sulfur dioxide.
The wild and dramatic cascade of ice into the ocean from Alaska's Columbia Glacier, an iconic glacier featured in the documentary "Chasing Ice" and one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world, will cease around 2020, according to a study by the University of Colorado Boulder.
If you are college-age or younger, you might just live to see the day when hail disappears from the eastern flanks of Colorado's Rocky Mountains.
A new modeling study involving the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, a joint institute of the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, indicates hail will likely cease to fall in those locales by the year 2070, a result of rising temperatures.
Using skills passed down through generations, Inuit forecasters living in the Canadian Arctic look to the sky to tell by the way the wind scatters a cloud whether a storm is on the horizon or if it's safe to go on a hunt. Thousands of miles away in a lab in Colorado's Rocky Mountains, scientists take data measurements and use the latest computer models to predict weather. These are two practices serving the same purpose that come from disparate worlds.

Jamie Benn had one of the most memorable fights of the 2012-13 season when he battled Joe Thornton. Though that fight will be almost impossible to top, Benn returns this week at the top spot after a nice scrap with Anaheim's Francois Beauchemin. Where does Benn's teammate Antoine Roussel rank on this week's list after his fight with Matt Irwin? 5. Robert Bortuzzo (PIT) vs Kris Newbury (PHI) - Oct 17 There are fights and then there are beatings. Give Newbury credit for stepping up against a much larger opponent, but it's safe to say he probably immediately regretted his decision to drop the gloves. 4. Drew Miller (DET) vs Cory Sarich (COL) - Oct 17 Speaking of beatings, here Miller has his clock cleaned by Sarich. When you add in the fact Miller's hair has streaks of gray, it almost looks like Sarich is picking on an old man. Kind of a bizarre and uncomfortable sight. 3. Clayton Stoner (MIN) vs Cody McCormick (BUF) - Oct 14 After two extremely lopsided fights, Stoner and McCormick provide a fairly balanced brawl. Stoner appeared to miss with the majority of his punches, so we're forced to give the "W" to McCormick. Bonus points for the gator takedown. 2. Matt Irwin (SJ) vs Antoine Roussel (DAL) - Oct 17 Back to the beatings. Despite starting the fight with an arm wrapped around his neck, Roussel dominates his scuffle with Irwin. Irwin is the more inexperience fighter and it shows as he is completely overwhelmed by Roussel's flurry of punches. 1. Jamie Benn (DAL) vs Francois Beauchemin (ANA) - Oct 20 Benn's dispute with Beauchemin lacks the excitement and buildup that we saw in his bout with Thornton last year (thanks new NHL helmet rules!), but this one is still a lot of fun to watch. So far the Benn-Beauchemin fight looks like a fit for our end of the year top-15 list, but a lot can change over the next few months.

Laurie Hood has received a dream-come-true: 85 acres to house all the residents at Alaqua Animal Refuge.
"I am overjoyed. It is the opportunity of a lifetime," Hood said.
Hood founded Alaqua in 2007 on 10 acres of her own property to shelter homeless animals. A key adviser was M.C. Davis. Hood serves on the board of his E.O. Wilson Biophilia Center, and one of Davis' staff serves on Alaqua's board.
"The Davises have sort of taken me under their wing," Hood said with a chuckle.
See a file photo gallery of some of the refuge's horses. >>
With Alaqua at full capacity all the time, the need to expand is great. Hood said Davis had tried to help her find a suitable property, but the right site never appeared.
As an animal lover himself, Davis saw the need and Hood's commitment. He recently donated 85 acres of his own property to Alaqua.
The property is about a one-half mile from the Biophilia Center off State Road 20 near Freeport.
The land is "as God created it," with woods and a creek. After making the property suitable for the refuge, Hood said she plans to move all of Alaqua's buildings to the new site.
The buildings were built off the ground with no concrete years ago with a possible move in mind.
"Where the refuge is now is our personal property, and we always knew that one day we wanted to move, and built the present buildings in anticipation of that," she said.
At the new home, Hood plans to improve the layout and expand the fenced outside areas so dogs can be let out to exercise on their own. That will free up volunteers for training and socialization of the animals.
"When we move, we're not going to try to take on more animals, but we're going to improve and grow our programs," said Hood. "You can grow a child's love for animals through programs and introducing them to various animals through field trips."
"We have a lot of work ahead of us," she said. "But being close to the Biophilia Center is a big draw."
Davis offered to donate the land six months ago, but Hood said the transaction was finalized just recently because they wanted to make sure it would work for the animals.
"We have written for capital improvement grants, and we want to reach out to the community so they feel they are a part of this endeavor and be proud of it," Hood said.
"Laurie Hood is a dynamic and persuasive person," Davis said. "I am an animal lover, and we have an understanding that the property will be used as a nonprofit for animals or environmental purposes."
There is no firm timeline for the move, but Hood hopes it will be the end of the year.
"All is dependent on grant money coming in," she said.
On any given day Hood now feeds 250 animals, including a bull and several horses in addition to dogs and cats. The bill averages $50,000 a month.
She depends on 300 active volunteers and donations and grants.
"We discussed this years ago and it's finally come about," Hood said. "I am honored that someone like M.C. Davis has faith in me."

Good quality material. Great way to protect suicidal fish By Joshua on 12/15/2014 Joshua would recommend this product to a friend Being fish they have a rough life and sometimes they have suicidal tendencies. This is a safety net just in case one of your fish decide they don't want to live anymore. It assemblies easy enough with a hacksaw and 20mins of your time. Pros: I ordered two 2ft sections for each of my tanks and they ended up sending me 3'x7' sections of clear mesh instead of what I would have expected 2'x2'section so I have plenty of extra cloth for replacement down the line if I need it. Before final assembly I cut a hole in the screen top and was able to route the heater cord up and over and then attached the netting around it making it look rather smooth and minimize the hole I had to cut to prevent those pesky jumpers. Cons: The only thing I can say is my hacksaw wasn't sharp enough so when starting the cutting it would skip around and scuff it up a little bit. Not a huge issue but I would be keen to find a slightly better solution to make it look flawless. This isn't a fault of the product but of my inability to figure out a better solution. The only other thing I ran into is I have a light mounting kit that interferes with the whole top so I need to get four extra corners so I can put a notch in the back of the top so it can be easily removed. Again, not a problem with the product but a heads up if you have a similar issue you may want to buy four extra corners when you order the kit. Why didn't I buy this sooner? By 9StickN8 on 12/9/2014 9StickN8 would recommend this product to a friend I have an open top 105g. I had 2 Flame Hawkfish jump to their demise. I think 1 was eaten by my cat Purseus... RIP Firehawk. It was time for me to add a screen top! The thing that held me back was cord management. How was I going to do this? You could leave a slight gap at the rear of tank. What I did was purchase clear, rubber stick-on feet (meant for underneath speakers, lamps etc) I purchased an 8 pack for a couple bucks. I placed the sticky feet as spacers everything is kosher now! My screen fits on the edge of my tank allowing my cords to exit the tank. This project was much easier than I anticipated! Works Great By Russell on 11/22/2014 Russell would recommend this product to a friend Very happy with the quality, simplicity, and look of this DIY screen top. The mesh does not cause any noticeable shadowing which I was very happy to find. Only small nit is that the straight pieces are the dimensions that are listed so when you put in the angle, the completed screen will be 1-1.5" longer than shown. The material is very easy to miter to the correct length, but you still have to go through the effort. Also happy that you have plenty of extra mesh in case you mess up the first time or decide to change tanks in the future I can re-use. Great look. Doesn't hurt light shimmer. By Randall on 11/13/2014 Randall would recommend this product to a friend Measure twice. Cut once. The netting is rigid enough that little effort was needed to assemble without any sag. Nice look with good light pass though. Jump Nemo. Jump. Rails are bowed By Apolloremy on 8/23/2014 Apolloremy wouldn't recommend this product to a friend Got the 48" kit and the rails are completely bowed in the middle out of the shipping box from BRS. When assembled there is a huge gap where fish can jump out. Just what I needed By Casey on 6/21/2014 Casey would recommend this product to a friend This kit has saved my new Blue spot Jawfish I actually tried tracking down the materials at my local Home Depot and could not find netting that I liked. This kit ended up being a few bucks more but it was well worth it to have all the materials in one kit. The top is easy enough to assemble. Just make sure you are careful when cutting the frame with a hack saw. I bent it just a tiny bit and has trouble putting the corner pieces on. A quick fix was achieved by flaring the opening edges a little and then smoothing them back down after attaching the corners. The finished product looks great and doesn't block out any light. The 1/4 screen size is too small to let any future purchases going carpet surfing. 5 Ft DIY 1⁄4" Screen Top By kimberly on 5/18/2014 kimberly would recommend this product to a friend The merchandise arrived quickly. Easy to assemble. Enough material arrived where I can replace the top twice. I would byt again. Only thing tool provided is cheap and awkward to use. Also corner prices must be installed correctly because too difficult to change. Stops jumping clowns! By Shawna on 5/1/2014 Shawna would recommend this product to a friend My two clowns are a bit jumpy, and enjoy making me panic when I hear them splashing about. This netting kit was easy to put together, even in a shape that would go around the equipment in the back of my tank. Thanks for making a nice all in one kit! I love that I didn't have to run all over the hardware store looking like an idiot trying to find exactly what I needed. Perfect By evilc66 on 3/24/2014 evilc66 would recommend this product to a friend While there isn't any real innovation with the product, it's executed well, and at the right price. The finished product looks good, and really isn't that hard to assemble. If you've ever replaced the screens on windows before, it makes it even easier. It's also really nice that they include everything you need to get it assembled (with the exception of a saw to cut it to length). Fun project everything you need included By surfishjoe on 2/12/2014 surfishjoe would recommend this product to a friend I shopped around and the kit from BRS was better quality and less hassle than trying to piece something locally. Yes i probably could have saved a few bucks but the end result is well worth it. I have a great looking top that was easy to put together with no surprises. One tip- take your time cutting the frame with a hacksaw as the frame is easy to damage. Thanks BRS! Good product. By Axizo2 on 1/21/2014 Axizo2 would recommend this product to a friend If you use the proper tools and follow directions this DIY screen should work just fine. I used You tube videos and was able to put it together fairly quickly. Fits well as a screen and does not effect light shimmer at all.

A story of dark deeds, a quest for justice, and ultimately the power of collective action. As a young filmmaker in 1982, director Pamela Yates went to Guatemala to make a documentary about a hidden war. That film, When the Mountains Tremble, featured a young Maya activist named Rigoberta Menchú who went to win the Nobel Peace Prize. In 2004 lawyers prosecuting an international genocide case asked Yates to comb through that historic film and its outtakes for possible evidence to be used against the same dictator, Ríos Montt, who spoke to her on camera 3 decades before. Suddenly the old footage took on a second life.

If you woke up today and money ceased to exist, what is the first thing you would do? Why?
Money is a motivating factor in a lot of actions people take on a daily basis. What if money didn't exist? What would you do then?
Let's NOT get into the technicalities of how removing money from the world would change things. This Conversation is SPECIFICALLY about the FIRST thing you would do if money ceased to exist today and why you would do that particular thing.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Jul 24 2011: grab things at home, and head for the store to exchange it for canned food. if i can find a guy stupid enough to make such a deal, i can survive a little longer. i would also accept cigarettes. then i would work on fortifying my house. looting will soon start.Jul 23 2011: I would re-introduce it...
Face it. Money is one of the best inventions ever.
Other than that, I would try and figure out how to obtain my daily need of consumer goods (food, drinks)...
The problem is not money, the problem is how we allow certain money flows to exist.
Jul 23 2011: Money is the greatest and the worst invention ever. If at the beginning there were some value behind the money, it had been made from gold and silver and had some resource behind it. Now the money does not worth the paper it printed on. The money is great for you if and only if you are at the top of pyramid and it's only a 1% of earth population, for others money = depth and depth that can't be return - depth = slavery. Any way there are people that can explain this well than me for an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gKX9TWRyfs
Jul 23 2011: I don't think that my income is in the top 1%... though I feel myself a rich person.
About debt: you should, as a person always try and stay out of debt.
If people don't get into debt, a whole lot of problems would be solved.
First earn money, then buy stuff! (even houses, but that is another discussion)
Like I said in other posts already: I don't buy the Zeitgeist story. It has some really nice things to it, has some good critiques and makes people dream. If everybody who is pro Zeitgeist actually did something concrete to further the project (and not talking about it), I might reduce my skepticism.
It does not sufficiently take into account that we humans, even those who had a very good environment and education, are still human, and prone to deceit, wealth, power, possession,... and a whole range of the less positive traits and behaviors.
The notion of a value of mineral resources behind money seems useless to me (what use has silver or gold to me?).
If you would want to couple money to something, make it related to the earth's production and abundance we can use annually so it is not only sustainable, but grows!
Jul 24 2011: 1. I am a person who trays to stay away of depts. But as you said – the house or even apartment I'm unable to bay without a loan and after that I'll have to pay this mortgage for 20 years. I will have to return twice the amount I've loaned (at least). Well you probably say – don't bay any house – rent one. If I'll rent an apartment I'll have to pay almost the same amount for rental as I would be paying mortgage – so what's the difference.
Well I'm the easy case, while I'm complaining about the roof. There are people that have the same complains about food.
2. The Zeitgeist movement actually does something, for instance creating a movie is not free there are a lot of man hour and equipment, lecturing is not free either. And it's even harder for this movement because you are unable to raise money for a good cause because you are against it. I am ready to contribute my time, physical and mental effort, but never the money because it's contrary the idea.
3. About the human nature, partially I will agree with you. But let's look from a different angle: I want to possess some item, let's say a TV – there are no means to bay some, I can take one from store for free – this eliminates stealing. I am a greedy person I want more TV's: 2,3,4,5 … when a community sees that I'm taking into possession many TV's it says – hey this person 'really' needs TV's, let's help hem and delivers to me double the amount I've taken. Eventually what will happen?
I can't do nothing with those TV's – unable to sell or trade them, I will put in every room a TV what will I do with others? Where will I store them and for what? If at any time I can take another TV. My neighbors will look at me strangely – "Is this a man with TV problem", eventually I will myself bring unnecessary items to the store, and I'll remain with one TV in order to look modest in the neighbor eye.
4. About the money made of gold: I didn't mean that the mineral is the value of money – what I wanted to say is – that thereJul 27 2011: QUOTE: "I don't think that my income is in the top 1%..."
Obviously, I don't know what your income is but assuming you are "quite well off," there is a good chance your income is in the top 1%.
If you make more than $2100 you would be in the "top half" of the world's wealth distribution.
About $60,000 puts you in the top 10%.
And about $500,000 will get you into the 99th percentile.Jul 27 2011: Then I would not even be in the top 10%
Time to revise your assumptions I guess ;-)
Thomas Jones
Jul 28 2011: Ah, I no longer have to assume - you see, now I know you are not in the top 10%.
- +1
Oh wait!
I am assuming you are telling the truth (you seem like an honest fellow!) but I really don't know any more than I did before ...
This knowing thing can be a bit of a bother. But that's a discussion for another thread, isn't it? ;-)Jul 26 2011: The first thing I would do is doggedly determine what the current means of barter is.
Because money ceases to exist does not magically transform our communities into some Shangri-La, where people exchange goods or services for free.
People are not motivated by money as they are about the things (stuff) it may allow them to have. Many have used it to do wonderful things in our communities and elsewhere.
Every generous endeavour and every worthwhile pursuit may be realized whether money exists or not. Just do it.
Thomas Jones
Jul 25 2011: Money has never motivated me. I've actually tried to use it as a motivator (setting monetary goals and so on) and it just doesn't work for me. I do what I do because I want to do it. The money comes or it doesn't.
- +2
So, on a personal level, I would do what I "normally" do ... which is enjoy life and respond to whatever situation I am participating in.
Of course, how one operates within "the system" would have to be renegotiated ... rebuilt I suppose. But I don't think that's what your asking.
Tiana RAVEL
Jul 25 2011: I agree with Thomas.

If you can get everything for free, they won't worth their value anymore.
But to answer to your question, I think I'll go back to my country to see my parents. I miss them so much. Tickets are too expensive.Jul 22 2011: I think a better way to frame this is not to say 'what if money didn't exist but everything else was the same?" but to say " What if everything you need money for was already taken care of, ie you won a 'cash for life' lottery?"
I'd do the same thing I do now, but without the worry that it doesn't pay enough. I'd do more research during the summer, rather than working a second job.
Jul 22 2011: Michael, your question is one I through out to kids that tell me they want to be rich or a millionaire when they grow up.
What I'm getting at with my current question is the difference in options we would consider and how much we think accessing things will change if money is not in the picture. A very simple example of the difference is that without money in the equation, people immediately think of bartering. With money still in the equation (whether you have an unlimited supply or not) people tend to think of more material things.
Jason Lilly
Jul 27 2011: Travel, travel, travel. There are so many places I have wanted to see but money was ALWAYS the obstacle. I've never been out of the country, never been on a plane, barely left the U.S. east coast. But I'm still young, so things might change.Jul 26 2011: Then everything would be free....

Jul 26 2011: I would request to be taken to space and be left there floating for a week...

Jul 27 2011: Why?
Jul 27 2011: Because I don't have the $30M it would cost to do now... plus it would be AWESOME to go to space!
Jul 28 2011: I agree with you there, space would be incredible!! Would there be space travel without money though? Serious question, not rhetorical.
Eun A Jo
Jul 25 2011: I would spend more time meeting new people. There are too many people I didn't get to know because I was working to pay for college/living.Jul 24 2011: Think. Assess the skills and commodties I have that can be used to barter. Organize a community meeting (4-5 block area to begin) and assess how we can help one another through barter. Set up structure to ensure necessities are availablle to all (water, food, shelter).

Begin to think about longterm needs once shortterm comforts are met. Find information on the pre-industrial household, which was self-sufficiient,.
A social organization must be created to contend with the changed circumstances.

Jul 24 2011: I'd go to work (teaching reading at a public school) and then organize a community bartering center.

PoHeng Chen
Jul 24 2011: I guess I would still go to have my breakfast first, and thinking about what I need and want to know about how people exchange their things. Because it's hard to estimate the value of all the things, it would be very difficult for people to exchange what they need very equally.Jul 23 2011: If monehy ceased to exist I would go back to the barter system. I would fully enjoy lifes little pleasures.Jul 23 2011: I think the day money ceased to exist first thing I'll do is I'll go back to my village that to free of cost. Free not because airlines or trains will provide free services but because I have to travel by walk or by cycle all the way 1000 miles as with money most of the means of transportation will also ceased to exist. I'll not be able to buy food so only option will be to grow it so I'll setup my farmland and start growing crops. My kids will not go to school to learn how to live in materialistic world so we'll have plenty of time together enjoying and learning how to live in this beautiful world. I'll not need to buy precious gifts for my wife to show my love because she'll get what she always demanded even after getting those gifts and that is me. I'll be always be with her with my family and I think it'll be the happiest time of my life.....But that's just a dream in reality if money ceased to exist first thing any one will do it to recreate it :-)Jul 23 2011: WOW, what a great idea !!! I would just stop, think and enjoy the idea of a world free of corruption, that is mainly created and maintained for the sake of accumulating money. Saying that as an Egyptian, who is still witnessing our revolution that reveals every day how corruption was tied to money. Latter, I would look for the simplest form of life, choose it and enjoy sharing life with humanity.Jul 23 2011: if money was no issue, I would go to NY and work for Architecture for Humanity. That is what I want to do anyway, but can't afford because they only take volunteers :(

Vernon Nolan
Jul 23 2011: I would do exactly the same as usual. If I were working would carry on, but I would not expect to be paid. When i need something I would just pick it up and not pay. That is what I have agreed to do and so has everyone else. Until we get used to it we might be inclined to grab a bit more than we actually need but when we find it will always be there, we would stop hoarding. Like everything else, freedom carries it's own responsibility. ( Is there somreting wrong with this typescript, some characters are not forming properly). Of course, it can only happen if we all agree>Jul 23 2011: I think immediately of Orwell's Animal Farm. I think in the short run, it would reset local inequalities temporarily and displace and remove the elites from power with a feeling of euphoria for ones once repressed. But in the long run, a monatary system would be re-established and a new group of elites in the right place at the right time would arise. There would be negligable difference between the old elites and the new elites. Throughout history following voids of power to be seised, the new rulers often feel nostaligia and go back to habits of previous ones in power as its often the only example of ruling known before.

Jul 23 2011: if all money ceased to exist the first thing i'd do is work out what things others would likely want in trade for the things i need.
- +1
a lot of commenters say they'd be glad, but i'm sure that'd be extremely short-lived. say you order a pizza to celebrate the erasure of your student loan or the fact that in an instant the rich and poor have been placed on equal ground, how would you pay for it? do you have anything at all that the supermarket would accept in exchange for the daily necessities you need from them? and how would you like to be compensated by your employer?
money is NOT a motivating factor in anyone's life, it is a means to an end. money is not some giant evil creation it's simply a trade standard which enables us to trade the things we have for the things we want.
if you're trying to make an objection to the way society is today in that the rich tend to do whatever they can to ensure they get the biggest share of the pie even if it means leaving everyone else the smallest possible, then i'd agree that you have a point. i firmly believe maximum wealth should be tied to minimum wealth - the CEO can't make more than 10 times any other employee for example, so that if he wants more he also has to give all of his workers more.
Jim Moonan
Jul 23 2011: If money ceased to be the currency by which we make a living and everything else remained the same it would change my life in nearly every aspect. It would be Utopia.
- +1
Even those for which money is "no object" it still defines them. Take money away and we would judge people's worth not by the size of their bank account but, to quote MLK, "by the content of their character". That would be nice.Jul 22 2011: Probably, pretty much the same as I do every day. I know that's not inspiring or even particularly interesting, but it is honest.Jul 22 2011: throw a party!Jul 22 2011: I would probably weep for joy at the prospect of all of my college debt being erased. Then I would pour myself a bowl of Corn Pops and watch cartoons, just like I used to when money didn't matter.
Jul 23 2011: This made me almost cry, I'm seventeen and I don't know just sounds so sad that this is what life will turn into, missing the good ol' days
Jul 23 2011: Oh, man, I really didn't mean to make you (almost) cry. I sincerely apologize. I'm only 24, and 17 doesn't seem like that long ago, so please don't think that everyone that gets older is cynical and depressed. I mean, I am, but that's me.
But seriously, a 17 year old browsing TED? Not just browsing, but interacting with the community? Awesome. I commend you. I wish I had a resource like this when I was younger. And really, it's not just the absence of a resource, but the desire to grow and learn through a positive environment. This website and the community that surrounds it are amazing, and if you're interested in discussion and education that relates to TED, I have a feeling you'll be just fine.
Long story short, yeah, I suppose my outlook is a bit sad, but if there's something sad, there must be something beautiful waiting to be experienced.
Jul 23 2011: Thank you, I really needed your message I guess I'm just afraid cause I don't know what's next but your words have shown me you can't have good without the bad so I guess I'll just have to weather the storm and keep moving.Jul 23 2011: Wow! I'm 29, a high school teacher in Oz, and someone who knows far too much about educational debt (20g's+ initially, but slowly whittled down to about 11 ) and hoping the best for my students' futures. I wish I had more kids like you in my class Jerell. I sincerely mean that. I experience far too many young adults who feel disillusioned by the circumstances that they grow up in, focus too much on the negatives of life / school / peer pressure etc... and give up on the amazing experiences that the future holds. To be honest, i found the whole concept of school pretty tough (i don't think i could explain to you succinctly enough how i ended up being a teacher!), but there is an amazing life waiting for you. The only requirement is that you embrace it.Jul 22 2011: I would pray and ask for the LORD's guidance on what to do and how to go about it.
Jul 23 2011: How would you hear the reply? That isn't intended to be offensive, but as an agnostic, I'm interested in the answer.
Jul 23 2011: Signs are everywhere I suppose... ;)Jul 22 2011: The first thing I would do is gather my guns & their ammunition, clean the guns, and get ready for trouble. That would be the ultimate financial strife in society, and financial strife is the worst--people like their money, and when there is none, big trouble is on the way very quickly.
Jul 23 2011: Yes, I was thinking the same, because there would be a huge battle for resources that people with money no longer have necessary access to. There would be no order at all because the laws rely on law enforcement and that would not likely be functioning. 1. Get protection ready 2. Set up some form of sustainable farming 3. barter/trade with people for things I need

Jul 23 2011: mad max vs waterworld! ;pJul 22 2011: I think I would drop everything and move to some place that I chose at random
Jul 22 2011: I'm tempted to follow in your steps :)Jul 23 2011: How would you pay for the flights / petrol etc...? Money is a means to an end. It allows us to transfer a relative value to someone else. How would your new abode be acquired? Whatever the materialistic / intrinsic value, it would be really difficult to create a new measure-of-value on-the-fly to a broad range of people.

If we woke up and everyone had the Star Trek version of society where everyone's basic needs were met and everyone was free and inspired to do what they did best, I might decide to go to medical school and work to heal people (but first I would like to spend a month in Costa Rica or someplace equally tropical with someone wonderful!)

Perhaps I would see if TED would hire me. Any openings? I want to plug in my MBA in a way that makes a difference.Jul 28 2011: I'd get straight on a plane and go anywhere and everywhereJul 28 2011: I'll probably panic at first! Thinking what to do; to survive, food, paying the bills etc... After that, I'll probably think this is probably the best things that could happen to our beautiful planet; finally equality for all...people will be more humble, wisdom and go back to the roots, values, respect etc...
Great question, love it !
PeaceJul 27 2011: There is a project called Venus, by the Zeitgeist movement. Although not all their ideas might be popular, they do offer an utopian view of a post capitalist civilisation. Anyone curious about it could read their stuff and find out a response to the thread. The point is it is posible to live without money if property is disolved and everything is shared (cars, houses, TV's, etc.). No need to steal if you are not allowed to accumulate objects and privileges. No social disention because someone thinks others have more stuff than you. Equal distribution of base necesities and necesity driven production would eliminate waste created by competition. Work would be done acording to personal enclination and not financial pressure. Money drives most of our decisions these days, not allowing us to do what we were born to do, which is to live free. So the first thing I would do is apply for an institution where I would best be in a position to clean up after the money driven polution and social decay.
Jul 27 2011: read their stuff, or you can just look around here, and find like half a dozen of conversations about them. i don't buy that at all, but i must admit that they do a great job motivating people, it seems.Jul 27 2011: Key word there is utopian which is an ideal... but then again so is this question... either way keep thinking forced equality, forced economies, forced property and forced behavior are heaven...Jul 27 2011: Rediscover it and claim the distribution rights, failing that nothing different... except I would be worrying about something else.Jul 27 2011: drink coffee, as usual... Then, probably, I'd take my day off...Jul 27 2011: "Let's NOT get into the technicalities of how removing money from the world would change things."
This is, frankly, absurd - at least if understood in the broad sense of "Let's not discuss how the world would be different." At the very least, you need to say whether money disappears because we have attained post-scarcity, because we've now got a government that equally distributes everything among everyone, or simply because it's disappeared from circulation. Otherwise, we can't respond adequately to the question, unless the question was meant to tease out what we think the disappearance of money would require.
If the first, then I'd go to British Columbia and build myself a house on a four-acre piece of land. If the second, then I'd inform myself; what are my new rights, my new restrictions? If the last, then I'd pour through the Internet to figure out exactly how I need to adjust my behavior to continue enjoying a comfortable standard of living, and what new possibilities, if any, are open in the likely brief time-frame before people start establishing basic currency again. And I'd probably arm myself because, yes, chaos would ensue.
It's a mistake to see money as a motivating factor - material wealth is the motivating factor for most people, not money for money's sake. So removing money, realistically, would probably just result in people rapidly figuring out some new way of distributing material wealth.Jul 27 2011: I would get on my bike and head to the nearest farm where they grow their own vegies and meat and help out there. Would have to be close to a rock wall too so I could go climbing. I would do this so I had a place to wait out whatever would happen post money dissapearing. Would be interesting.
Also, I think a lot of people have missed the point of the question. This is not a debate about what you think money means to you or the world, Corvida clearly states that she wants to know the first thing you would do. Stop being so pretentious.Jul 27 2011: As long as someone else has something I want, "money" will never cease to exist.
If a day does come when I have everything I want and there is nothing I would want from anyone else, I will be either dead or have attained nirvana :) I wont have any motivation to do anything after that..
To answer your question, what will I do? NOTHING !!Jul 27 2011: What is money?
We don`t use money any longer. Companies don`t use money. Governments don`t use money. Everybody is using something that we pretend is money. Even the money itself doesn`t mean anything, because is based in a structure and not in a real value (as it use to be: gold). So, the question is not absurd. There is a possibility for the world to loose, for some period, the reference of value. Nowadays is easier than in the last century.
The thing is that, even the money cease to exist, the human way of thinking would stay the same. And, in it`s almost universal (we have to be careful with the ˜universal`word) the idea of contract, the idea of reciprocity. If we don`t have money to do so, we are going to do it with other ways.
In Argentina, during their crisis of 2000, the money was so rare and the people`s needs were so extreme, that they create market with informal money to make their trades.
The human being will not change because of the lack of a currency. He will create another way to do the trades. This is the historical development of the human being, not some accident of the last century.
For me, the FIRST THING I would do if money ceased to exist, is evalluate everithing I have, every item I have in my home, because there would come times when basic trades were be needed. Guns would be needed too, despite I hate it.

We've known it was coming for a while, but images of the new indoor theatre at Shakespeare's Globe have been released, as well as the name: it will be known as The Sam Wanamaker Theatre, and allow the Globe to stage performances year round.
If you know your Globe history you'll know Wanamaker was the driving force behind getting the Globe theatre built, so it's extremely fitting that the new space will bear his name. The design is Jacobean, based on drawings by Inigo Jones protégé John Webb, and will seat 340 people in two tiers of galleries and a pit. (For comparison, the Donmar Warehouse has a capacity of around 250, the Almeida Theatre about 325.) It will primarily be lit by candles, and we're getting a bit misty-eyed just imagining it. God only knows how we'll react when it opens in January 2014.
The project still needs £1m to become a reality so if you feel like donating a few pounds and becoming a part of theatrical history, visit the Shakespeare's Globe website.

By NATHAN GREGORY
A Starkville man has filed a bill of exceptions appeal to Oktibbeha County Circuit Court against the city in relation to aldermen approving a 20-year lease plan for construction of a new municipal complex.
William McGovern, through local attorney Charles Yoste, submitted the appeal June 15. No date has been set for a hearing. A judge to hear the case has not yet been named.
Mississippi code section 11-51-75 grants citizens aggrieved by a municipal governmentŌĆÖs decision to file an appeal within 10 days of the decision.
On June 5, board members approved the resolution to use a public-private partnership to address inadequacies in the cityŌĆÖs police and municipal facilities by constructing a $6.7 million city hall and renovating the current one to be used as an expanded police station. The measure passed in a 4-3 vote, with Aldermen Ben Carver, Roy A. Perkins and Henry Vaughn opposed.
McGovern said his intent is not to keep Starkville Police Department from having better facilities, but to allow an open, democratic process to take place.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm all about having people decide in open elections what they want to do. This is in no way a reflection on trying to keep the police department from getting what they need,ŌĆØ McGovern said. ŌĆ£If the police could ever come out and say ŌĆśThis is what we need to be competitive and to solve crimes in Starkville,ŌĆÖ I donŌĆÖt care what it is or what it costs. I would be 100 percent for it if you got to vote on it.ŌĆØ
The June 5 decision came eight months after a vote for a bond issue to raise property taxes and use those funds to construct an $8.45 million police facility failed to reach the mandatory 60-percent-plus-one-vote majority. Voters rejected the issue 55 percent to 45 percent. SPD Chief David Lindley supported having a vote on the issue.
A vote in 2006 on a bond issue for municipal improvements also failed despite almost reaching that majority than the 2011 referendum.
Mayor Parker Wiseman said City Attorney Chris Latimer will handle the case, with legal consulting provided by a team of attorneys from the Jones Walker firm.
ŌĆ£Our attorneys are confident that there is no legal issue with the action that the city has taken and that the bill of exceptions is without merit,ŌĆØ Wiseman said.
McGovern said the board forced the measure through and ignored the votersŌĆÖ voice.
ŌĆ£If we got to vote on the justice complex and wanted that, thatŌĆÖs fine. But doing it like theyŌĆÖre doing it, I just believe in a democracy that if you do these things I just think thereŌĆÖs a right and a wrong way to do them. If youŌĆÖre not going to do it the right way, you have a problem with me,ŌĆØ McGovern said. ŌĆ£I think the people ought to get to vote on these things and thatŌĆÖs what IŌĆÖve been for from the very beginning. If it were being done correctly I wouldnŌĆÖt have any problem with it. IŌĆÖm not a troublemaker; I just want the process to be done openly. If itŌĆÖs done openly, I donŌĆÖt care.ŌĆØ
The project will be financed through the issuance of certificates of participation. Once the cityŌĆÖs obligation to fulfill lease payments is met, it will own the facility.
The public-private partnership with Columbus-based West Brothers Construction does not involve any sort of ad valorem tax increase, Ward 5 Jeremiah Dumas said.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs unfortunate that there are people against change so much that theyŌĆÖll do anything to stop it, even in the event that itŌĆÖs a great project that will not compromise their financial position one bit,ŌĆØ Dumas said. ŌĆ£I hope we can move through this process quickly and come to a solution that is in our favor so we can move forward and start breaking ground. I feel very strongly about the team we put together to work on this. These are some of the best folks in the state. We have good eyes looking at this thing. ThereŌĆÖs no doubt that this is an unconventional way of doing things and not something you hear about every day, and I think the discomfort is in that.ŌĆØ
Ward 2 Alderman and vice-mayor Sandra Sistrunk agreed that the resolution as presented June 5 was legitimate and lawful.
ŌĆ£There were multiple attorneys who reviewed this from multiple points of interest,ŌĆØ Sistrunk said. ŌĆ£All of them advised us that the information presented at the board table was sufficient to withstand legal challenge.ŌĆØ
Calls to Yoste were not returned as of press time.

Newsweek: Is Asking Inane Questions the Future of Journalism?
Was Mussolini Right?
"He made the trains run on time," they said about Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, and it was more than just a cliché. It was a statement about a government that works, a government that means what it says and does what it wants. Sure, there were some problems with the treatment of dissidents. But some very smart political analysts are asking a question that would have been surprising just a few years ago: Is it time to give fascism another try?
To be clear, no one is proposing a Fourth Reich. This isn't about Germany in the 1930s, and it isn't about genocide. It's about fascism as an economic program, where the government stops being ashamed about merging with corporate interests. It's the ultimate pro-business position, and that's why the wonks proposing a new look at an old philosophy have a catchphrase sure to draw adherents: "Fascism means jobs." If they're right, it could remake the American political landscape over the next decade.
Our Future Is Underground
Global warming. Overpopulation straining food supplies. Rising seas and hurricanes. More and more, it seems like the planet is turning on humanity. For years, science fiction writers have told us that colonization of other planets is the answer. But the technical hurdles—particularly a lack of nearby M-class planets suitable for habitation—could make it impossible in the next few centuries. By the time we have the technology to evacuate, it might be too late.
The answer may be right under our feet. Rebecca Anderson's lab at MIT looks like any other, bristling with computers and assistants in lab coats. But the biologist has a radical idea: Let's move humanity underground. It won't be easy to convince people to give up their homes and live beneath the surface of the earth, but Anderson's convinced that it's the only place where we'll be safe from the climate's ravages. Over the next few thousand years, the brutal processes of natural selection will turn us into a species of hairless mole-people with night vision, perfectly suited to our new subterranean existence. "We already have the backhoes," Anderson says. "The next step is to start digging."
Was Feminism a Mistake?
It's 6 pm, and Marjorie Lungardner is hard at work. With her hair perfectly in place and her makeup precisely applied, she moves smoothly through her kitchen, checking on the casserole in the oven and slipping an olive in the martini on the counter. But the martini isn't for her. Her husband Jeffrey will be home soon, and everything needs to be just so.
Jeffrey and Marjorie don't have kids yet, but that doesn't mean Marjorie wants to work outside the home. Her job, she says, is supporting her husband and making him happy. "I just let Jeffrey make all the decisions. It makes me so happy." Millions of women like Marjorie are asking whether the last 40 years of struggle was really worth it, and whether everything wouldn't be a whole lot easier if they just let men run the world again.
The Worst Generation
Eric Fletcher didn't look for a job today. Or yesterday, or the day before that. Ask him why, and he'll tell you there aren't any jobs to be had. But Eric's father Albert tells a different story. "Don't get me wrong, we love Eric," he says. "But how many hours can you spend playing video games? We spent $150,000 on his education, and we're still paying. When's he going to move out?"
There are thousands of young people just like Eric, who have had a hard time adjusting to the world after college. But now some are asking whether the problem isn't the economy, but the young themselves. Their grandparents defeated the Nazis, and their parents fought for peace, love and civil rights. But today's young people aren't accomplishing much of anything. Could they be America's worst generation?

Is Asking Inane Questions the Future of Journalism?
FUTURE? Hell, journalism has been dead or dying for quite a few years now. As the big corporations gobbled up all media in this country, we lost any sense of independent journalism. Fox News...ring a bell for anyone? News Week is a loser with poor writing and a rightward political bent. I would like to see the breakup of the media empires, and a return to telling the truth without opinions. I remember when CNN was a real news outlet, NBC, CBS, ABC...the same. We have to remember that WE own the airwaves, and these corporation RENT these airwaves from us...of course there are the political sweet deals, the tax incentives, etc. We really need to keep our media out of the hands of foreign entities, just like we need to keep foreign money out of our elections. MSNBC is now in the process of turning right with Chuck Todd, S.E. Cupp etc. Fair and Balanced is not happening anywhere...only greed and the quest for power.

The horrifiying part of this is that when I clicked on it and saw the Mussolini Newsweek cover and its blaring headline, I actually thought it was real. And when I saw the article was written by crank Niall Ferguson, a Brit wandering cluelessly in the American polity, I merely groaned---for I believed that indeed the editor would have gladly run such an article if for no other reason than to goose circulation.
I thought it was all real for twenty seconds. That's scary.
Sun, 2012-09-23 07:06
Heck, I had to read the article twice to be sure is was supposed to be a spoof, That first story really looks like something I believe Niall Ferguson would write -- and believe in. The other stories, too. I mean it's a real possibility that the solution to the problems from global warming could be addressed by moving underground.. Some people talk about never seeing sunshine, but I worked for six years in the basement of the Pentagon and never missed sunlight or the view of trees. And reading about nome schooldrs and younger Republicans I could imagine them seriously considering trying to roll feminism back. Heck, they want to go back to feudalism anyway.
Fri, 2012-10-26 14:55
This is an insightful article. I was unaware about many details but for me the most striking bit arrived when I read about young person, who was given top-class education but not value.
Young folks no only needs Harvard like place to be a better person but parents must teach them value of time and importance of learning and executing as well.

The UCC is the longest and most elaborate of the uniform acts. It has been a long-term, joint project of the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) and the American Law Institute (ALI). Judge Herbert F. Goodrich was the Chairman of the Editorial Board of the original 1952 edition, and the Code itself was drafted by some of the top legal scholars in the United States, including Karl N. Llewellyn, William A. Schnader, Soia Mentschikoff, and Grant Gilmore. The Code, as the product of private organizations, is not itself the law, but only recommendation of the laws that should be adopted in the states. Once enacted in a state by the state's legislature, it becomes true law and is codified into the state's code of statutes. When the Code is adopted by a state, it may be adopted verbatim as written by ALI and NCCUSL, or may be adopted with specific changes deemed necessary by the state legislature. Unless such changes are minor, they can affect the purpose of the Code in promoting uniformity of law among the various states.
The ALI and NCCUSL have also established a permanent editorial board for the Code. This board has issued a number of official comments and other published papers concerning the Code. Although these commentaries do not have the force of law, courts interpreting the Code often cite them as persuasive authority in determining the effect of one or more provisions. Courts interpreting the Code generally seek to harmonize their interpretations with those of other states that have adopted the same or a similar provision, except where specific aspects of the Code were changed by that state when adopting it, or where other aspects of state law require a different decision.
The Code, in one or another of its several revisions, has been enacted in all of the 50 states, as well as in the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Louisiana has enacted most provisions of the UCC with the exception of Article 2, preferring to maintain its own civil law tradition for governing the sale of goods.
Louisiana jurisprudence refers to the sections of the UCC as "chapters" instead of articles, since the term "articles" is used to refer to provisions of the state's Civil Code. However, the use of different terms for UCC articles is not unique to Louisiana; neighboring Arkansas also refers to UCC articles as "chapters", the term for equivalent subdivisions in its code of statutes. ("Article" in that state's law generally refers to a subdivision of the Arkansas Constitution.)
|General Provisions
|Definitions, rules of interpretation
|Sales of goods
|Leases of goods
|Negotiable Instruments
|Banknotes and drafts (commercial paper)
|Bank Deposits
|Banks and banking, check collection process
|Funds Transfers
|Transfers of money between banks

|Auctions and liquidations of assets
|Warehouse Receipts, Bills of Lading and Other Documents of Title
|Storage and bailment of goods
|Investment Securities

|Secured Transactions
|Transactions secured by security interests
In 2003, a major revision of Article 2 modernizing many aspects (as well as changes to Article 2A and Article 7) was proposed by the NCCUSL and the ALI. Although being considered, there are no states that have yet adopted the revised version of Article 2.
In 1989, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws recommended that Article 6 of the UCC, dealing with bulk sales, be repealed as obsolete. It remains in force in several jurisdictions.
A major revision of Article 9, dealing primarily with transactions in which personal property is used as security for a loan or extension of credit, was enacted in many states with an effective date of July 1, 2001.
The controversy surrounding with what is now termed the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) originated in the process of revising Article 2 of the UCC. The provisions of what is now UCITA were originally meant to be "Article 2B" within a revised Article 2 on Sales. As the UCC is the only uniform law that is a joint project of NCCUSL and the ALI, both associations must agree to any revision of the UCC (i.e., the model act; revisions to the law of a particular state only require enactment in that state). The proposed final draft of Article 2B met with controversy within the ALI, and as a consequence the ALI did not grant its assent. The NCCUSL responded by renaming Article 2B and promulgating it as the UCITA. As of October 12, 2004, only Maryland and Virginia have adopted UCITA.
The overriding philosophy of the Uniform Commercial Code is to allow people to make the contracts they want, but to fill in any missing provisions where the agreements they make are silent. The law also seeks to impose uniformity and streamlining of routine transactions like the processing of checks, notes, and other routine commercial paper. The law frequently distinguishes between merchants, who customarily deal in a commodity and are presumed to know well the business they are in, and consumers, who are not.
The UCC also seeks to discourage the use of legal formalities in making business contracts, in order to allow business to move forward without the intervention of lawyers or the preparation of elaborate documents. This last point is perhaps the most questionable part of its underlying philosophy; many in the legal profession have argued that legal formalities discourage litigation by requiring some kind of ritual that provides a clear dividing line that tells people when they have made a final deal over which they could be sued.
The first step in a "battle of the forms" analysis is determining whether the UCC or the common law governs the transaction. Once it is determined that the UCC governs, courts will usually try to find which form constitutes the offer. Usually this is a purchase order. Next, the acceptance with varying terms is examined. It is important to note whether the acceptance is expressly conditional to its own terms. If it is expressly conditional, it is a counteroffer, not an acceptance. If performance is completed after the counteroffer, with no express acceptance, then, under 2-207(3), the contract will exist of those terms on which the parties agree, together with UCC gap-fillers.
Assuming that the acceptance does not expressly limit acceptance to its own terms, it counts as an acceptance, even though it contains additional or different terms. The different terms from both the offer and acceptance are commonly "knocked out" of the contract and replaced with UCC gap-fillers. The additional terms go into the contract if they pass a three-part test in 2-207(2). First, the offer must not expressly limit acceptance to the terms of the offer. Second, the terms must not materially alter the contract (see Comments to 2-207). Third, the terms in question must not have been objected to.
