He said there have been several cases of people hit and killed by the authority's trains in which it appears they were wearing headphones or using cellphones while trespassing on tracks.
A University of Maryland study found 116 cases over six years in which pedestrians were killed or seriously injured while wearing headphones. In two-thirds of the cases the victims were men under age 30. Half the cases involved trains. In a third of the incidents, a warning horn was sounded just before the accident.
"With the smartphone technology these days and everything at your fingertips, it's almost getting to be an obsession or a compulsion with people," Fox said. "You see it in airports or train stations or malls — if there's any kind of downtime, they're jumping right to that phone."
About 1,152 people were treated in hospital emergency rooms in the U.S. last year for injuries suffered while walking and using a cellphone or some other electronic device, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which receives annual data from 100 emergency rooms and extrapolates the information into a national estimate. But that's likely an underestimate because patients may not mention they were using a cellphone or other device at the time at the time they were injured, or the doctor or nurse may neglect to include the information in their report, said Tom Schroeder, director of the commission's data systems.
The cases include a 24-year-old woman who walked into a telephone pole while texting; a 28-year-old man who was walking along a road when he fell into a ditch while talking on a cellphone; a 12-year-old boy who was looking at a video game when he was clipped by a pickup truck as he crossed the street; and a 53-year-old woman who fell off a curb while texting and lacerated her face.
One 67-year-old man walking along the side of a road was hit a by a bicyclist who was talking on a cellphone as he rode. The pedestrian injured a knee.
Though overall traffic deaths were lower in 2010 than the year before, pedestrian fatalities rose by 4.2 percent and injuries by 19 percent, according to the latest data available from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It's not clear how many of the pedestrian deaths and injuries involved cellphones and other electronics because police often don't collect that information.
Even without better data, the Internet yields a wealth of anecdotal evidence of the power of electronics to distract pedestrians.
A woman texting while she walked through in a suburban Philadelphia shopping mall this year tumbled into a large fountain directly in front of her. Security camera video of the incident went viral, generating millions of hits.
A man texting a message to his boss nearly strolled into the path of a black bear that had wandered into a suburban Los Angeles neighborhood. He was only a few feet away when he looked up, saw the bear, and ran. A KTLA news helicopter tracking the bear recorded the April incident.
Researchers say they're not surprised that multi-tasking pedestrians run into trouble.
Psychological studies that show most people can't focus on two things at once. Rather, their attention shifts rapidly back and forth between tasks, and performance suffers. But like a lot of drivers who use cellphones behind the wheel, pedestrians often think they're in control and that it's all the other fools on their phones who aren't watching what they're doing.
"I see students as soon as they break from a class, they have their cellphones out and they're texting to one another. They're walking through the door and bumping into one another," said Jack Nasar, an Ohio State University professor and expert on environmental psychology. "People think they can do it, that they are somehow better."
A study Nasar conducted at intersections on campus found that people talking on cellphones were significantly more likely to walk in front of cars than pedestrians not using phones.
A study by researchers at Stony Brook University in New York compared the performance of people asked to walk across a room to a target — a piece of paper taped to the floor — without distractions and then again next day while talking on a cellphone or texting. The group that talked on the cellphone walked slightly slower and veered off course a bit more than previously, but the texting group walked slower, veered off course 61 percent more and overshot the target 13 percent more.
"People really need to be aware that they are impacting their safety by texting or talking on the cellphone" while walking, Eric Lamberg, an associate physical therapy professor who conducted the study, said. "I think the risk is there."

Hot answers tagged convertible-bond
Well, it takes a little more information than you've provided, but here are links to a pdf and associated excel spreadsheet that should help you answer your question.
The major difference is that the equity option embedded in a convertible bond is not detachable from the convert, so that you have to value the bond and the embedded option together. If you want to make a direct comparison with a detachable warrant, you can think of the the embedded option in a convertible bond as having a strike price equal to the value of ...
Tangurena's answer and links give the right idea. You can get a rough approximation by finding the conversion price $K$ and using that $K$ as the strike in a standard Black-Scholes option pricer. In practice, most people work with 3rd party models such as the ones built into Bloomberg, Monis, or Kynex.
I can't answer your question about the data, since my sources for data like that are Reuters and Bloomberg, neither of which are cheap. For testing trading strategies, I'll separate them into three camps. For 'simple' optimization schemes, RMetrics fPortfolio can likely do the trick. This would be for weight-based asset allocation. RMetrics also has some ...
Which risk-free rate to use to price a bond issued in one currency but convertible into equity in another?
Use the USD rate. The actual tricky bit is in the volatility. Normally for a cross currency bond you would use the volatility of the foreign shares as denominated in US currency. However, the fixed FX rate in this case means that the correct volatility to use is the volatility in INR.
Which risk-free rate to use to price a bond issued in one currency but convertible into equity in another?
The answer is, that it does not matter. Choose one currency as the numeraire, and stick to it. This is because of the foreign exchange interest rate carry arbitrage relationship. If that relationship doesn't hold, skip the bond and lock-in the arbitrage on the interest rate differential embedded in the USD/INR exchange rate.
Both statements are correct. A warrant allows a holder to BUY a stock at a set price. Because there is a specific price, all that is needed is CASH to get the stock. As such, the warrant can be separated from the bond, and someone else could use it. As a result, it is valued separately from an accounting perspective. A convertible bond, on the other hand, ...
A friend gave me the following reply in terms of dynamic hedging and portfolio management: Quantitative justification Pricing models for a CB are based on holding the CB hedged with a short equity position. The combined portfolio has zero delta. However, it has positive gamma. To see this, consider that delta increases when the probability of conversion ...
That company is probably traded on the Hungarian stock exchange in Hungarian forint. You would have to multiply the stock price by the euro/forint rate to find parity. Note that in this case, the bond has a huge coupon (Euribor+5.5%) after the "call date", effectively forcing the call and making the bond a 4% maturing in 2016. There's no real point to ...
The parity in this picture is given as the percentage of the face value. The stock price is given in HUF. I checked the stock price, It reached 16600 in september 2013. The EURHUF that time was something like 299, but we should now the exact time this picture was taken. So we have everything to calculate the parity: $\text{Parity} = \text{Conv Ratio} \cdot ...
The above gives you the value of the option in the convertible bond. Next step, look at the price of an exchange-traded option to see what the embedded convertible bond option is worth. That can tell you if the convertible bond is over or under priced - compare the market value of the option to the implied price of the option (scaling prices to the same ...
You are mixing terms here. The definition of an "interest rate" is typically a simple interest rate as applies to the Principal of a loan. The unpaid interest rate is not compounded. This is owed at the conclusion of the loan or when converted to debt. Typically rolled into the equity stake. The definition of "discount" is what the convertible debt holder ...
If there is no chance of default, and you have an extremely simple set of terms and conditions (T&C) on the bond, then the two are equivalent. In the real world T&C are complex for all bonds currently traded, and default is important. Therefore something closer to the binomial model, which allows the embedded option to disappear in the event of ...

Putnam County Helping Pitbulls
Published March 28th, 2012
It appears to be a change of heart.
The Putnam County Sheriff's Office Animal Control unit is now allowing the adoption of pit bulls and pit mixes to authorized dog rescue groups.
The agency hadn't allowed the adoption or rescue of pitbulls for more than a decade, as long as the Sheriff's Office has supervised animal control in Putnam County.
Any rescue group that is interested in rescuing pit bulls and pit mixes from Putnam County Animal Control are encouraged to apply.

SPOHR: Clarinet Concerto No. 1 in C minor, Op. 26 (Digitally Remastered 2 CD set)
By Louis Spohr
To play the media you will need to update yourFlash plugin.
Composed by Louis Spohr (1784-1859). Instrumental Solo Part and 2 CDs. Published by Music Minus One (MO.MMOCD3203).
Item Number: MO.MMOCD3203
ISBN 1596152303. Soloist: Collete Galante, clarinet; Ensemble: Stuttgart Festival Orchestra; Conductor: Emil Kahn.
Ludwig Spohr, who created quite a stir when he began conducting with an odd contraption known as a baton, was also one of the best known violinists of his day (i.e., the first half of the nineteenth century), and is primarily known today for his concerti and other solo works for the fiddle. That he was also quite adept at writing for other instruments than his own is proved by this C-minor Clarinet Concerto, his first of four such works, and a composition high on wit and solid craftsmanship.
Includes a high-quality printed solo part for B-flat clarinet and a digitally remastered compact disc containing a complete version with soloist, then a second recording of the orchestral accompaniment, minus the soloist; and a second compact disc featuring the complete version again, followed by a -20% slow-tempo accompaniment for practice purposes.

Like the Express Base Station of old, the updated Apple wireless access point and router for Windows and OS X PCs includes a 10/100Base-T ethernet port, a USB port for attaching a remote printer, and an audio-output jack.
Apple this week released an update to its AirPort Express Base Station wireless networking hardware. The new version looks identical to its rectangular predecessor and boasts a few minor tweaks and a single major improvement - 802.11n networking versus the slower 802.11g standard found on the original AirPort Express - as well as a few minor tweaks. Get all the latest Apple reviews: click here.
Like the Express Base Station of old, the updated version includes a 10/100Base-T ethernet port, a USB port for attaching a remote printer, and an audio-output jack that supports both digital and analogue audio.
You power the Apple AirPort Express Base Station by plugging it directly into a wall socket. For those who haven't discovered the AirPort Express' wonders, and it is compatible with both Macs and Windows PCs (not certified for Vista), its benefits include:
- Nearly all the wireless-router features of a full-fledged AirPort Base Station in a package about the size of the AC adapter for an Apple laptop: you can use an Express as your main wireless router at home, or create a wireless access point on-the-go. For example, most hotels offer internet access but far too many of them are tethered. If you prefer to compute from the comfort of a king-sized bed, just jack the hotel's ethernet cable into the Base Station's Ethernet jack and you're well on your way. Added bonus: both you and your roommate can access the Internet at the same time. (The Express supports up to 10 simultaneous users; the Extreme, 50.)
- The ability to extend the range of a WDS (Wireless Distribution System) network hosted by an AirPort Extreme Base Station or another AirPort Express: For example, if you have a Base Station in the basement but its signal weakens by the time it hits the second floor rumpus room, just plug the AirPort Express into a power receptacle on the first floor to improve the signal upstairs.
- Streaming audio. With iTunes and an AirPort Express Base Station on your network you can stream audio tracks from within iTunes to play through an audio device attached to the Base Station's audio jack.
- Remote printing. Like the AirPort Extreme Base Station, you can string a USB cable between the appropriate ports on the Express Base Station and your printer and print remotely. This is a nice way to station a printer in a central location convenient for everyone in your home or office.
Latest Apple news - click here
What's new
Nothing has changed in this functionality after Monday's release. What the latest AirPort Express brings to the table is enhanced range and speed, as well as a few minor new features.
Specifically, Apple claims that the new Express brings twice the range. If it offers the kind of extended range some of us have found from our n-flavoured AirPort Extreme Base Stations, this is definitely a good thing. Signals that used to peter out from a certain distance now offer the strongest possible signal across multiple floors.
Similarly, a faster Express will certainly do no harm if you currently have today's AirPort Extreme Base Station. And that base-station-in-hotel scenario should bring benefits as well.
(Note, however, that if you add an 802.11n AirPort Express to a slower network - for example, one provided by an 802.11g Extreme or Express Base Station - the network will still operate at the slower g-standard speed. Conversely, an 802.11n Base Station won't suddenly improve the network performance of a PowerBook that contains an 802.11b/g AirPort card.)

Like the Express Base Station of old, the updated Apple wireless access point and router for Windows and OS X PCs includes a 10/100Base-T ethernet port, a USB port for attaching a remote printer, and an audio-output jack.
The new Apple AirPort Express Base Station also adds support for a number of features the AirPort Extreme gained when it made the jump to 802.11n. For example, like the Extreme, the Express now also supports 802.11a networks. And through the use of the latest AirPort Utility, it offers the same easy-to-use setup procedure available to the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule.
The Apple AirPort Express Base Station also gains the time-based network-access feature available to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station since its debut last year. This feature lets you limit the days and times at which each computer on your network can access the network. For example, you can limit a computer's access to the network to workday hours.
Some may be disappointed by the Express' ethernet specs - 10/100Base-T rather than Gigabit ethernet. Dry your tears: few people would see a benefit from Gigabit ethernet on this device.
Although we found that gigabit Ethernet did provide improved wireless-to-Ethernet transfer rates with the latest AirPort Extreme Base Station, the Express' single ethernet port means such benefits would be realized only if the Apple AirPort Express Base Station was extending an 802.11n-only (5GHz) network and the Express was acting as a wireless-to-ethernet bridge for a computer with Gigabit ethernet.
(If that made no sense to you, don't worry about it. The point is that you're unlikely to miss Gigabit ethernet on an AirPort Express.)

Other than the existence of the faster 802.11n networking and the trickling down of a few minor features from the latest AirPort Extreme Base Station, there's not a lot of improvement here. Regardless, the AirPort Express was a good bet to begin with and adding greater range and speed hardly diminishes its advantages. Whether you use a Mac or a Windows PC, the Apple AirPort Express Base Station may be an important addition to your wireless-networking arsenal. Get all the latest Apple reviews: click here.

Sleep apnea pillows that you can use without a CPAP machine position your neck so your airway is more likely to stay open. Ones you use with the machine are meant to make you more comfortable when you wear your CPAP mask. Some have features that reduce pressure from the mask or keep it from rotating out of place.
A small study of pillow use with CPAP showed that they do make users more comfortable. But the people were no more likely to keep using their machines than those who didn't use special pillows.
Tennis Balls?
About half of people with the disorder have most of their breathing problems when they sleep on their backs. That position can make your tongue and soft palate rest against the back of your throat and block your airway.
Sleeping on your side may improve your symptoms. To keep you off your back, some doctors suggest you pin a tube sock filled with a couple of tennis balls to the back of your PJs.
One study of the tennis ball technique showed it did help some people. Of the 50 people who used the method and reported back, 38% said they were still doing it after 6 months. They said they had better sleep quality, more daytime alertness, and quieter snoring.
That stands for continuous positive airway pressure. These machines use a mask that fits over your nose, or nose and mouth. It blows air at a pressure that keeps your airway open during sleep. Your doctor can tell you the right pressure to use and how to set it on the machine.
Over the years, these devices have become smaller, lighter, and much quieter. Some common side effects include nasal congestion, dry mouth, and skin irritation -- but treatments can help relieve all of them.
The key to using a CPAP is to make sure it's comfortable. You can choose from a few different models, so you should be able to find a mask that works for you.
The device works very well, according to the National Sleep Foundation. But doctors say the key to success is to use it every night.

By Tyler S. Clark (Contact)
Published July 6, 2009
I ran across an interesting opinion piece in Newsweek today. It's called "Unions: We're Better Off Without Them." It's timed to campaign against the Employee Free Choice Act, which would modify some of the rules surrounding the process of employee union elections.
Depending on your view, either despite the prevalence of unions in this area or because of it, there are many negative perceptions of unions here, some of which are repeated by Kevin Kelly, the CEO of Emerald Packaging:
We worry that a union might attempt to drive up wages higher than we can afford, or foist a health care plan on us more expensive than our thin margins can handle. Our past experience with a union taught us—and many of [our] employees said as much—that too often the union protected employees with the lowest production or worst quality. We also know that some union contracts strictly limit the ability of managers to help run or setup machinery, something that would deeply hurt our company, where supervisor's [sic] often wield wrenches.
Kelly bemoans the hard work of fighting off the union's advances:
About 13 years ago our company's employees voted to get rid of the union they'd had for nearly 30 years. But the six weeks before the vote were horrible. Union organizers, including one flown in from headquarters, descended on our company, pigeonholing employees on the plant floor. Production crashed, and our scrap rate tripled. Determined to stay neutral, we finally had to speak up once rumors began to spread that we'd close the plant if the union won.
All of this does leave the impression that the company is better off without the union. What about the workers?
Truthfully, we hadn't been prepared for life without a union. We didn't build a human resources department, failed to craft a wage scale to guarantee timely increases, and didn't reach out enough to hear employee concerns.
The mere thought of new labor law has inspired some companies to react. One business in my city has started to pay more attention to employee communication, publishing a monthly newsletter and holding meetings with shifts to explain how the company is doing. "We hope by opening lines of communication that folks will feel better about the company," the owner told me. "And, of course, less likely to embrace a union." Another business owner has gone so far to hire a firm to conduct an employee survey so he can identify and resolve any festering problems.
[T]he process refocused my mind on our plant floor relations. So I hired a labor consultant to do an employee survey which turned up some issues we've begun to address, like putting an emphasis on internal promotion rather than outside hiring. We should do many of the things he turned up. All too often the day-to-day struggle of running a business muddles priorities. Now, with some union likely to target our company once the new labor law passes, I won't get distracted again.
All of this sounds like the unions, even when unsuccessful in getting employees to organize, serve as a catalyst to refocus employers on how they're serving their employees. That can't be all bad.
Should anyone wish a crash course on U.S. labor unions and labor law, see, Labor Law for the Rank and Filer by Staughton Lynd and Daniel Gross, at
Best Wishes,
Ask the 7,142 people that are about to lose their pensions if the wished they had a union or some government regulations that made Forum honor the contracts they signed and what their employees worked for all their lives.
More companies every day turn their back on their employees and "reorganize" and are cheered on by the neighbors of the people they are screwing.
No union, no regulations, no government oversight equals no accountability. Think it wont happen to you?
My name says it all. They are what made this country great!
Cambridge, of course it won't happen to me. Most of us in the real world don't have pensions. We have 401K's which are contributed to by the worker and the company. The money is completely ours and completely controlled by us. The idea that future compensation is guaranteed (pension) is a flawed concept that is dependent on the business environment that can't be foretold. The stock market isn't a guarantee and that's where most pensions are invested. Aren't we glad that the Republican idea that social security should be invested there didn't come to fruition?
City Dweller, there is nothing wrong with it. But, then don't cry when companies go bankrupt and cut many of the wages and benefits those unions extracted. The thing the unions either don't understand or don't care about is the company needs to be competitive and profitable in order to survive. See GM, Steel, Delphi, Forum, and others.
Better off without Unions, especially if you are a hardworker. The labor market should drive wages. We do not need a minimum wage, union wage or any other type of forced wage. If you are good at what you do, work hard and prove your value to a company you will earn more. Unions protect the lazy. It is a pyramid scheme that taxes the workers to provide wealth to the union bosses.
What we really need is a Union in China. If we can organize their workforce, we will do wonders for those of us who still work here in the States.
Unions are most certainly necessary in the work force, however, sometimes they overstep and create avoidable problems, like so many other things in America.
Having said that, the author could have done more to depict both sides of the issues rather than cut and paste from a magazine article and write seven sentences that just take up space. What a journalistic savant you are.
Also, remember that a company's objective is to serve its shareholders first and foremost. I am not sure what "serving the employees" means exactly. Having a safe work environment, fair wages, and a team atmosphere are important, but I am not sure about serving them. That is kind of a ridiculous statement from someone with apparently no successful business experience.
Employees are the backbone of a business. Labor costs are always the largest costs a business has. The way many businesses are treating their employees today reminds me of why unions became so popular.
Just because the economy is bad is no reason to think you can abuse your employees by forcing unreasonable hours, work conditions or loss of benefits. The unfortunate story here is that with today's economy businesses are willing to turn over employees by letting higher paid people go (age discrimination) and later bringing in younger people at lower wages.
Good, hard working people who have put in 10 or 20 years with a company are losing their jobs today because they make too much money. These same people are now seeking work at 7 to 10 dollars an hour just to pay the bills. This is a sad way to do business in America today.
There is no need for the worker to have any input on their wages ! Why vote on any tax increase ! Bureaucrats can manage on their own when it comes to increasing taxes . Government officials can be installed and money can be saved by not having elections .
Hitler had total control and people were forced to work for free to support the fatherland . Of course he also decided on who lived or died and enforced it with death camps .
apollo....I agree 401's are the future for a persons retirement. But how many people go to work for a company that match's their 401 contribution and later on down the road the employer eliminates the employer part of the contribution? Project that take back over the course of a persons career and that's a huge hit.
Worse yet, work your whole life with a pension as part of your compensation package (union or non-union) and when it comes time to retire or are already retired, top management decides to give themselves a raise and a bonus and file chapter 11 to pay for it with your retirement.
Unfortunately that's the real world for more and more people every day.
There is always need for the worker, most succssful businesses could not be where they are without them, especially good employees. Workers always have an input ontheir wages, if they do not like what a company is paying them, and they are talented enough at something, they can leave teir current company and go out and find a new job. As a recruiter, I help people do this all the time. I have seen companies get rid of high paid workers to replace them with lower paid, mostly it was due to the fact that the higher paid worker was making more then the market dictated.
Look at GM in Lordstown, those wages are WAY OVER INFLATED. What does a worker their make now, $25 per hour. How many people would be lined up, wanting to work their if they paid $20 per hour? The average for the area is about $16 per hour. How many more people would GM be able to employee or but back to work, even if they kept their total labor costs the same? Seems to me that the ones that complain about the rich getting richer, are also doing a good job of not letting new people get a slice of their pie either.
Unions were great at one time, but now all they care about is being greedy and protecting their lazy workers. When people see GM workers make enormous amounts of money for putting a car together, people grow angrier and angrier with unions by the day.
Unions will be less than 5% of the USA population by 2020.
You are right Woody ! If they don't like a cut in wages at the fancy of the company they can leave and be replaced with cheap undocumented and or imported,documented foreign workers . How long will it be before companys import labor on a massive scale ? They are already doing it now with some restraints . It is the attitude of others like you that is reducing the American Worker to the status of a slave . This is nothing more than the stealing of a nation from those who have built it ! Without a union you are at the mercy of whatever befalls you . Union breaking is nothing more than the elimination of all the prominence that an American worker has in the workplace and any control over what his or her labor has helped build .
You do not need to import people to do the job for less. The unemployment rate in the valley is at 12%. There are people there that would do the job for less then what GM is paying their workers now. It is simple economics, supply and demand. I am not talking about paying someone 50 cents a day. I am talking about giving the average GM worker a 20% reduction in pay, getting more people into work there at the reduced rate, hence opening more jobs up for those not working now and making the vallet stronger as a whole. The Unions are all about the redistribution of wealth, well I guess as long it does not hit their own wallets.
I also agree that 401's are the future for a persons retirement. It was the future 20 years ago, but took current problems for the masses to understand it. I do not believe the union types would of bought into it back then because they were programmed to believe that making the company continue to pay them after retirement was their last snicker.
My employer did a company match on the first 6% of the 12% yearly that I invested and also added two types of profit sharing. The key is that it was set up so that each year once the funds went into the 401, the company no longer had any access to them. This prevented any retroactive actions by the company. The funds were managed by Fidelity and Janus with a number of different investment options from Growth to Money Market selected by the employee and able to be changed on a monthly basis. Also each year the employee could not allocate more than 10% of his yearly investment to buy company stock. This of course eliminated any Inron type of fiasco. This is the way the better run 401's are managed.
Would I of traded this for a conventional pension? Of course not. I wanted control of my money even back then. Would a lot of GM etc. people trade their "maybe" future funds for this type of 401 if they knew then what they know now. Of course.
Back to the original subject, I remember this old saying, "If a company has a union it probably deserves it"
What was life like before unions? No job security, no eight hour day, no weekend, no work rules etc. The passage of the Wagner Act and a recognition for organized labor was a huge boon to the creation of a vast middle class in this country. When you hear people blame unions for the state of the economy it is rather sad. How many union members are wall street ceos or politicians beholden to corporate interests?
We should never forget that people died, right here in this very valley, for the right to organize; they died so that future generations might have some say in their own working lives.
People have a choice. If they do not like the conditions a company is making them work under (i.e. wages, work hours, PTO, benefits, etc.) then they can go find another job, or put up their own money and start their own company. And guess what, if enough people were not willing to work for a certain company, and that company needed workers, they would change their compensation and work policies to attract the workers they need. Or if they were looking for higher skilled workers, they would adjust their policies to attract better employees.
People have a choice? The mobility of capital nowadays insures that companies have a choice, not people. Corporations pit city vs city, region vs region, in a competition for the lowest wages and the most tax abatements. Have you ever noticed that the least union friendly, right to work states are all the poorest in the country? Look at South Carolina, Arkansas, Mississippi etc. they are all very anti union yet what has it gotten them? Those states are among the poorest, and least educated in the whole country.
The rabidly "pro-business" and anti union administrations of the past few decades have done next to nothing for most people. Please take a look at real wages since the early 1980's: They have stagnated for the middle class and gone down rapidly for the working class; inversely, incomes for the top tier of American earners have skyrocketed.
Ytownboy....I couldn't agree with you more. The most amazing thing is that the poorer and least educated are the ones that scream the loudest at someone that's looking for a living wage, health benefits and a little dignity. It seems as though it's "if I don't have it you shouldn't either". I wounder how many of those people would turn that opportunity down if it were in their grasp.
All of these companies being run into the ground by a hand full of people paying themselves top dollar and outrageous bonuses while they demand the masses pay for their ineffective management. And all the while their victims cheer them on.
Looks pretty comperable to me. Sure states in the South have a slightly lower Avg Hourly Wage. But cost of living is also lower.
Union States:
Unemployment Avg. Hrly Wage
(Production Wrks, ie
typ Union occs)
Nat AVG 9.4 $13.99
Ohio - 10.8% $14.86
Michigan- 14.1 15.75
Indiana 10.6 14.72
Non Union
Tenn 10.7 13.46
Ark 7.0 12.16
Miss 9.6 12.61
Anyone who supports the elimination of the unions deserves to be a slave woking for a sub poverty wage or none at all .
Personally I like to live with dignity . Warm in the winter, cool in the summer, without hunger pangs, reliable personal transportation and savings for a rainy day .

Never worked for a union but I do just that, Ohio 6 months in the summer, Florida 6 months in the winter. Two homes and commercial rental property paid for. Pickup truck, classic car. Felt that I would succeed in life on my own merits. I didn't need locked in seniority. Felt my performance would assure seniority. Retired after 30 years with a very respectable 401K that is completely in my control.
Would not work for a union because I did not like someone else speaking for me.
Have no problem with union rank and file. Always felt that the union bosses never really worked for the best interest of the rank and file like they should have.
I posted this once before but it is appropriate to look at again. Back before Delco was split off, GM considered offering a stock option to the rank and file with Delco as the test bed. As you can expect, the union bosses turned it down flat. No way did they want their underlings to actually think of what might be good for the company and thus their investment. As long as GM was the enemy the union bosses had control over the rank and file.
I am sure those union bosses are just as worried about their retirement and health care as the rank and file is...........
"Personally I like to live with dignity . Warm in the winter, cool in the summer, without hunger pangs, reliable personal transportation and savings for a rainy day."
Personally, I like all that. But I also like living in a nicer house, driving my BMW, and getting rewarded more for my accomplishments, instead of making the same as my coworkers who slack. I like having the chance and the opportunity to earn more and provide a better life for my family. A Union job would keep me in line and supportung my coworkers who might be underperforming.
How do we know you are actually getting rewarded for accomplishments? Rick Wagner made a million dollar salary while his company lost billions. Top guys at AIG got million dollar bonuses while their company went bankrupt! It is only because of the government that dozens of banks will survive and not collapse; they never had the foresight to see what repackaging and selling mortgages would do.
Are their lazy union workers? Sure there are! Are their lazy and incompetent people in the private sector? Yep, they were the folks who engineered a wonderful world of deregulation and economic collapse!
The goal today is to have the worker locked into a position of dependency on government . Self sufficiency is contradictory to total control . You should ask yourself who would be better off without unions ? Surely not the worker .
Lets look at some facts . GM stock is now worthless . Retirement funds and pensions continue to be looted and jobs are disappearing . Now the worker will be forced to work for next to nothing to fuel the gluttony of others . Its all about the worker making do with less and others keeping their status quo .
Ytownboy, I will assume you were respnding to me and not Stan.
Rick Wagner or the AIG guys did not get those positions over night. Someone didn't just walk up to Rick and say, "hey wanna be the president of GM". They had to go to school, work hard, probably put in long days working their way up and get a little lucky. In the end did they fail, sure. Half of all businesses do.
All banks repackage and sell mortgages. They hardly hold onto them. What do you think Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are all about. They are a quasi-government clearing houses for reselling mortgages. Because some of the loans were made to people who should not have had them (to big of a mortgage, bad credit history, no document loans) at the urging of people like Barney Frank, that is where we got into trouble.
The only fault of government in the mortgage crisis was by the Bush administration and the Republicans to not regulate the lenders. The people writing those loans were the ones in the best position to know the outcome of their handy work. They were predators for the sake of the almighty dollar. It's easy to know where the responsibility lies in the mortgage crisis, it lies with the people that made the money.
Woody.... and the rest that feel the need to paint union workers as the scum of the earth, if you don't like unions don't belong to one. If you really feel the need to address these people in that fashion why don't you stand outside a union shop at the shift change and express those feelings to their face.
Whoa cambridge, It is time to introduce one of California's finest, the infamous MAXINE WATERS along with BARNEY and friends and of course BO himself IN THEIR OWN WORDS!!!! Now explain how the republicans were at fault.
Never seem to get a reply to my favorite little videos.
Maybe because the libs have no defense when they see and hear their idols.
They have to be so proud.
Maybe next time.
10 hours and still no reply. I guess I will have to try again another day.
A small part of the mortgage problem!!!!. The republicans knew they didn't have the votes to make a change with the "Spectors" in their party. Well you did the best you could.
Notice you didn't discuss Obummer's part in it.
And who pushed Fannie and Freddie to buy these mortgages? The likes of Obummer. You still haven't commented on his dealings with Acorn. In his own words saying how these mortgages should not have been risky. How they were spread out so that the risk would seem reasonable. In Maxine's own words, "100%" mortgages. Mortgages to people who could not afford to buy homes, no equity, nothing to lose. If you can not afford a mortgage you know it. It is the lib way of always blaming someone else, never taking personal responsibility.
Do a little research on Franklin Raines who Maxine was worshiping so much. Here is a URL that shouild tell you all you need to know about this clown. How he agreed to give back salary and bonuses to avoid possible jail time.
You saw these libs talking about no risk in single family home mortgages. Right!!!
Looks to me like Billy Boy holds a big stake in the mortgage crisis.
Well stated Eric!
Yes Woody, Billy Boy was right in the middle of it. Your article covers pretty well where he among others including Obummer and his buddy Raines were responsible for the fiasco. I like the part about how everything would be okay during flush times but when things change like they have now that the bottom drops out.
The question is "Better off without unions". I still can't figure out why, if someone would want to belong to a union they should be ripped and ridiculed for it. How is that any one's business but their own. For all of you that think it's your business have you ever:
Ran unto a burning building ( Firefighter )
Had to carry a gun at work, been shot at and had to hunt down criminals. ( Police ).
Ever saved someones life ( EMS, nurse, medical technicians )
Been responsible to educate children to be prepared for their next level of education, 40 at a time. ( Teacher ) ( I would bet half of you lose you patience with your own kids in five minutes )
Connect steel on a superstructure hundreds of feet in the air, { Structural iron worker )
Built cross country pipe lines, oil refineries, power plants and chemical plants where one wrong move and it could be your life or someone else's. ( Industrial Pipe fitter )
Like I said before if you really find the need to rip these people, the next time you drive by a school, hospital, police station, fire house, high rise construction project, oil refinery, chemical plant or power plant at the shift change or see some EMS worker bent over someone in the middle of the street trying to save their life, just stop and tell them to their face.
Not ragging on you but you have listed all these occupations where it is true that most of the participants at least in the rust belt states are union members but not all. You haven't explained why being a union member makes a difference or provided the data to back it up. Tell us why a EMS technician is better if he/she is a union member. I think you need to do that to support your stance. Real facts, not just generalizing. While you are at it explain what makes all your other examples better also
I never said anyone that belongs to a union is any better than anyone else. I respect everyone's right to make a living any way they want. I don't presume that it's ever my right to judge anyone making an honest living and feeding their family union or non union. I have never made a negative comment regarding anyone that chooses to work non union.
The occupations I mentioned are for the most part union in America and I'm just pointing out who the people are that so many of you like to talk so negative about. I'll stick with my comment, say it to their face if you've got the gears.
Maybe you can explain to me why people deserve to be ripped and talked about like they are scum because they belong to a union. Real facts, not just generalizing.
cambridge said: " I'll stick with my comment, say it to their face if you've got the gears."
We are all badazz's when we sit in front of a keyboard but I do respect your right to your opinion.
redvert....we finally agree on something. It's real easy to bad mouth a segment of society when your sitting behind a keyboard. I'm not telling you to fight anyone just tell them what you type. Pick a really small female nurse if it makes you more comfortable.
cambridge also said: " maybe you can explain to me why people deserve to be ripped and talked about like they are scum because they belong to a union, Real facts, not just generalizing." I attempted to answer your question. Why don't you answer mine?
It's OK your still behind that keyboard. Have at it.
cambridge, I am back, was such a nice day that I took the vette out for a spin. Top down, going thru the gears, life is good!
Lets use GM for example. Now if you will look back at my posts #18 and #27 in this article you will see that my complaints are with the union higher ups. My only disappointment with the rank and file is that they did not understand what the the bosses were doing to them back then or ignored it cause everything appeared to be great. You have to admit that the higher ups had them by the "you know whats" job wise so there wasn't much they could do. In all fairness though, they had no reason to think that it would ever come to what it is now.
Whether I agree or not with some of the stupid things in the contracts over the years I do believe that an AGREEMENT IS AN AGREEMENT that must be honored WITHIN REASON. If the situation changes to the point that it can not be honored then a fair and honorable solution should be reached. A legitimate bankruptcy falls into that category.
Should your or my taxes be paying for their health care. No! Profits out of Government Motors needs to pay their health care or they can bite the bullet like millions of other people have and absorb part of it. Obummer said it was time for change. Hey, that fit right in!
ps: You got something against small female nurses? Maybe one of those little illegal senoritas!! Trade in that "high class" schoolteacher you met in the bar
80 degrees, time to fire up the vette again!
Unions have become a punchline.
They are single handedly ruining business in America because of their strongarm mentality. There was a time when a union protected the American worker, now unions are run by fat lazy non working wanna be mobsters who try to squeeze business owners for as much as possible. I am of the opinion that if you don't like the employment or employer that funds your status symbol driven lives, then find another job. Heres a thought, all of you manufacturing drones can be replaced by a machine. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all union members for destroying my country's economy and letting foreign countries overtake America in almost every industry. You should be proud of yourselves, now excuse me while I go buy a foreign product that will last ten times longer than yours.

I have a 15 inch MacBook with a large monitor connected to it. The resolution on my monitor is much higher than that on my laptop. When I move an active window from the monitor to my laptop, the active window is much larger than the actual screen size of the laptop so most of the window is cut off.
Is there anyway to config your OS X system so that windows scale to proportion when you move it over to the laptop screen?

Kicked off a Zaar meal with this appetizer. I used Frank's brand hot sauce and the sauce was great- though I might try adding a bit more vinegar next time and maybe a pinch of cayenne, but that's just a personal taste thing (love that kick). I also had heard that you could just bake the chicken wings in the sauce and they would be lower in fat and just as good that way.... WRONG! I went back and ended up frying them all- much better. Everyone loved 'em- I'll definately be making these again. And for buffalo wings addicts like us- that's high praise. ;-)
Awesome wings! I too, used Frank's sauce, which was good. Great garlic flavor, and the vinegar was right on. I cooked the wings in the sauce, let them simmer for about 15 minutes on low. If you like them really spicy, you'll need to kick them up a bit, as is, the flavor is fantastic, but they don't pack a lot of heat. These are going to be a regular feature at our house! Thanks tt! :)
Made these this weekend, who knew they would be devoured so quickly? I will have to double the recipe next time. It had just the right amt of vinegar. Instead of pouring the mixture over the wings, I put the wings into the saucepan and let the sauce cook into them a bit then placed them on a plate to serve. I loved the crispiness most of all. I wish I never found these, they will be the downfall of my New Year's resolution LOL
Delicious wings! I made these with Frank's and added about 4 drops of Tabasco. I served with blue cheese and ranch for dipping. The guys gave these a thumbs up -- thanks for sharing!
I have been using this recipe for years now and I forgot to review it. Sorry! These wings are awesome!!! They are nice and simple--everything a buffalo wing should be. I don't like the other recipes that have a ton of spices which give the wings an overpowering flavor. I used the Wal-Mart brand of Frank's Red Hot sauce this last time, and it tastes just as good as the real stuff. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
Just what I was looking for, easy and delicious, you can add tabasco and make it hotter if you choose, but it's great as is, everyone really enjoyed it - Thank you
Great wing sauce and so easy! Loved the bit of tang from the vinegar. It's a keeper for us, thanks taylortwo.
WOW! This is not just "another buffalo wings recipe" this is THE buffalo wings recipe! I was looking for a good recipe to make wings for DH's Super Bowl party next weekend and decided to try them out first. I could not get enough of them! I added a little more vinegar to the sauce and they were amazing. Exactly like the wings from my favorite place back home which I haven't had in almost 10 years, now I can have them all the time! :) Thank you so much for posting this awesome recipe, I will be making again and again.
Wonderful! Now I can't make them if I don't fry them. They just aren't the same! I threw our favorite BBQ sauce on for the kids, then baked them for 10 min. in the oven to make them nice and coated.. WOW!! This one goes in with my favorites.
This was so good and surprisingly easy. Instead of deep-frying the wings I coated them with flour, salt, pepper, a little bit of cayenne powder and garlic powder and baked them on a cookie sheet at 400 degrees for an hour then moved them to a deeper dish, mixed them with the prepared sauce, and baked them for an additional 10 minutes. Will be making these again, and will make sure I have extra napkins as they are tasty but messy.

I stayed here during my recent visit to Montreal. I like the fact that the Valet Parking was secured and cheap at $22/day with in and out privileges. Simon the concierge was very nice and good to talk to. The exercise area on the top floor was cool, although you can only use one elevator. The kitchen was useful although I wish they had supplied oil or a non stick pan. The beds were firm. The external hall way noise was minimal, the room was spacious and the room was clean. It is close to pretty much everything. A 10 min walk to the Bell Centre, 2 min walk to Saint Catherine's shopping, 15 min walk to Metropolis.
Con's the shower leaked everywhere and the television was less than HD. The shower had three problems, one the shower curtain did not prevent the water from leaking out, two the edges where the tiles and tub met allowed for water to leak out and there was no drainage out of the tub. Solution 1 would be to have better design of the tub, a better shower curtain or have stoppers to prevent the water from leaking out of the shower. There is free continental breakfast from 0630-0930 but I never made it.

This idea was brought up during the Nightlife License proposal i.e. the later closing times.
The thing about 2AM is that, while this may work during the weekdays, it's a disaster on Friday and Saturday nights. There needs to be arbitrary closing times (or none at all) at the descretion or choice of the individual clubs, so that "2Am" doesn't become this feared time of night where people might be more itchy about walking around certain parts of town, or trying to call a cab, which is near impossible at 2am on Fri and Sat nights.
London is a bad example because the difference between good and bad drunks there are extreme, for whatever reason. (Not unlike NYC.) Choose another European country for a better comparison.
How about requiring bars to remain open for an hour after last call?
What about letting the bars/clubs choose when they close? Wouldn't some naturally stay open while others close earlier?
I like the idea of staggered closing times and it works well in Lisbon, Portugal. I lived in a neighborhood that had 6 bar/restaurants; four of them lined up next to each other. Of the four next to each other, two served until 2 am, one served until 4 am, and one served until 5 am. Around the corner from there were 2 other bars - one closed at 2 am and opened at 6am, the other closed at 6 am. Basically, if you wanted to, you could drink 24 hours, but you would have to bar-hop. What was great was the availabilty of taxis home at 2 (or 3 or 4) in the morning because people left when they were ready, not when the government told them to. Also, in the same block, was a 24 hour hamburger stand, and a 24 hour falafel stand - both great "drunk food" places.
What shocked me most when moving here was that time between last call and "get out now" always felt like 15 minutes. Where I came from the last call law was enforced way harder than the "get out now" issue and so usually you had another hour or so after last call to burn some more alcohol. What's the deal with that here?
It's way more fun in Fremont, quite frankly.
And, just walking a block to the Fremont Outdoor Movies, I pass something like 4 bars - most of which are fine, mind you.
"or allowing clubs to stay open after they stop serving alcohol,"
Well, maybe, but will the clubs have that much incentive to do so if they can't bring in enough revenue from the bar?
Bars that stay open after hours already exist in Seattle- the one the comes to my mind is The Cuff (and I think Neighbors is as well, although some other homo will have to verify that)
At 1:30 there is last call, at 2:00 they forcefully remove all alcohol, and the club stays open until 3:00.
So if it's an option to stay open later, why don't ALL clubs make it common practice...? For the simple reason that alcohol can't be served during this period, so paying staff to hang around hurts the bottom line.
o until this is required, the only bars that will practice it will be the one's who give a rats ass about their patrons.
#7 is right. There is no rule that says a club can't stay open past 2am (Neighbours stays open until 4am, for example), but most places have no economic incentive to do so.
Hmmm...perhaps they need to look at someplace other than Britain. The British (the Scottish in particular), are not well known for their self control after a pint or ten. Other countries manage to go without last call and don't have horrible meltdowns. I mean, I don't recall a last call in Paris (possibly because I was usually rather drunk and hanging on cute French guys).
All establishments have to stop serving alcohol between 2-6am, but stay open as late as they want. Maybe it would help if more bars served food. Not all out meals, but quick and easy appetizers that would slow the alcohol some.
To all who advocate clubs staying open after the 2am alcohol cut off:
While there is no law mandating clubs close at 2am, it becomes a logistical pain in the ass for club as well as a potential liability. When 2am rolls around, it doesn't mean you have to stop serving; it means everyone has to stop DRINKING. That means at 2am everyone needs to have all alcohol out of their hands, or the club is in violation of the state liquor laws. This is a huge problem for the club because people don't come up to the bar and drop-off half-full glasses. Often times patrons will hide drinks.
For the clubs who do decide to stay open after-hours, there are really only two practical methods: "The Push Out" and "The Hunt". "The Push Out" is where the club basically closes for 10 minutes, pushes everyone out on the street and then goes through the club gathering up all glasses. After the club is all clear, they let everyone back in. Usually charging another cover. This essentially creates the same issues with the 2am closing time: You push a bunch of rowdy, drunk club goers out into the street late at night.
"The Hunt" involves the club staying open, but the employees scurrying around the club with flashlights doing everything they can to gather up all the alcohol. While the patrons prefer this to "The Push Out," it's a potential hazard for the club because, eventually, they will miss a few glasses. If liquor control or the police catch them, the club is held responsible, even if the patron was intentionally hiding the liquor from the club.
While a few tweaks in the liquor laws could change this (which would need to be made in Olympia - not Seattle) so it is more feasible for clubs to stay open later, right now the liability of staying open is way too high, given the potentially small amounts of money they'd make.
A rep from SF recently tried to get 4am last call legislation through Sacramento, but unfortunately, it died.
I totally support the idea of a later last call, but you're still buying booze from state liquor stores Washington... so it seems like a long shot.
Here in Toronto, bars stop serving at 2 am, and have until 3 to get their customers out. By the same token, it's not illegal for people to have alcohol after last call, provided they ordered it before the 2 o'clock cutoff. Most people use that time to finish their drinks, say good night, and get out the door - and not everyone is leaving at the same time, which cuts down on bottlenecks.
The bars use that window to clean up their establishments, so that their staff aren't obliged to stay until 4, 5, or later.
Granted, these rules don't always work in the club district, where there are thousands or people leaving the bars within an hour of each other, but for bars, pubs, and late-night restaurants, it's a system that works pretty well.
@12 and @14 make some great points: Why does state law not allow patrons to calmly finish their last-call drink? It's the rush to slam these final drinks which definitely contributes to extra-drunky people. If the bar has stopped serving alcohol, it's a virtual gurarantee that the patrons will finish what they've purchased. Don't force clubs to snatch it from people and throw them out, that treats patrons like children.
To add the list of after-hours clubs, Contour downtown is open superlate, and apparently have fire-dancers and other entertainment after 2am. I have no idea how they handle the 2am no-liquor law (Push vs. Hunt).
In Vancouver, Canada, weekend closing times were bumped back to 4am in 2003, then up to 3am a few months later (from 2am, which had been the norm for decades). The change seemed to exacerbate, rather than minimise, the street disorderliness, costing the city police (by their estimates) an extra $100k per year to try to get a handle on the beer- and urine-soaked melee that was downtown Vancouver every weekend at closing time.
Apparently a new initiative has been extremely effective: forbidding patrons from lining up to enter any time after 2am (apparently a lot of the fights occurred between patrons leaving bars and those who'd never made it in). I've read about an initiative police are pushing whereby all patrons would be ID'd, so that troublemakers kicked out of one bar couldn't bar-hop. I don't know if it's been implemented.
I had some links to news items, but the MOTHER FUCKING spam filter kept rejecting them despite many, many attempts at pruning, so if you're interested, google 'vancouver bars "closing time"'
as a bartender i can think of anything worse that standing around for an hour after closing, and an hour and a half after last call, watching and babysitting a bunch of cranky people being pressured to get out by forces out of their control. plus doing this for no tips what-so-ever. i think 4 a.m. is the best solution here. 2 a.m. just doesn't give club goers enough time to do what they want to do. the extra two hours would allow people to leave at a more relaxed pace, when they felt like it, not when they are made to.
This is Slog. You're not supposed to check your pre-existing prejudices with, you know, facts or anything.
Someone alert A. Birch Steen.
As a regular patron of several bars mentioned with the later closing times (Cuff and Neighbors), from my perspective it seems to work well. I'm not a barback or bartender, but people know that at 2 a.m. you have to surrender your glass, and seem ready to do so. I've never really seen problems with someone refusing, though it does undoubtedly happen. The difference with these places is that they are dance clubs (Cuff closes the upstairs bar at 2 and if you want to stay, you have to go to the dance bar below). If there is no dancing or live music, a bar is not going to have much incentive to stay open just to let people linger and drink bottled water. Staying later also opens another can of worms... at 4 a.m. at Neighbours on a weekend there are hordes of people (visibly) cracked out on all kinds of drugs that are pushed out the door at closing. Contour and Noc Noc are also open until late and can be a real trip to sketch-ville; as bars close and people stay up they funnel into those clubs. Maybe tweakers are less prone to violent street fights though; I didn't see either of those clubs on Greg's no-no list of bad clubs. Washington is so prudish and stodgy when it comes to liquor laws that I'd fall over dead if they actually pushed the 2 a.m. limit back.
I don't think the creeps getting into fights at Belltown Billiards are going to be pacified by later closing hours. They're hopped up on hormones too. Maybe poison gas would do the trick.
Why do we have to bend over backwards for these types of clubs?
You (and the above commenters) might be interested to know that the Washington, DC club I work at stays open well after last call on most nights. The security staff embarks on what Collin (a.k.a. #12) referred to as "The Hunt," roaming the floor with buckets.
While I can't speak for the differences in the scene between our two fair cities, we rarely have any problems -- in over a year, I can think of only three incidences where I had to forcibly separate a drink from a patron. Plus, a well-trained and sufficiently-numerous security staff can easily spot someone trying to conceal a drink.
London also isn't a good example because in some ways the increase in crime can be considered a sort of 'catch up' to the amount of problems we have having our drinking establishments open until 2AM. 3 more hours of drinking is bound to lead to more incidents. If you could somehow subtract that (& whatever cultural differences) you might be closer to the mark. But then again, they aren't us, so who knows?
Wow. Not one metion of black people in these comments. FINALLY!

Excerpt from \"Say Yes To War\" by Dan Savage October 2002
\"In the meantime, invading and rebuilding Iraq will not only free the Iraqi people, it will also make the Saudis aware of the consequences they face if they continue to oppress their own people while exporting terrorism and terrorists. The War on Iraq will make it clear to our friends and enemies in the Middle East (and elsewhere) that we mean business: Free your people, reform your societies, liberalize, and democratize... or we\'re going to come over there, remove you from power, free your people, and reform your societies for ourselves\"
I was psyched to see Westneat take this stance. His stuff on racial politics in public schools was also right on. He's a good journalist.
Dan, the studies you reference actually support later/staggered closing times, when you consider that the goal isn't necessarily to reduce crimes in general but to bring down the violent crimes that seem to be happening in Seattle with growing frequency. Public urination, drunk and disorderly conduct, vandalism, and the like are certainly a nuisance, but what's driving the Mayor's regulation effort is people getting shot.
ditto to douglas @ 17...having places stay open after they stop serving is a flippin' nightmare for the bartenders. You stop servin' booze, they stop tipping, and all you're doing is babysitting.
Also echoing others that it's probably best not to look to the British Isles or any of their cultural descendants (e.g., Canada, Ozzy land or New Zealand) for models of good drinking behavior. They're just plain lousy drunks.
Oh and while we're at expanding hours, can we please drop the prohibition on drinking and nudity mixed together?
#10: We should get of the drinking age and then maybe we'd drink as sensibly as the French.
#20: How does one legislate against "bad" or "lame" clubs and not scoop up the others in the process?
This is why the Times should leave this stuff to the big boys. Yeah I said it.
Hm. Staggered works for us, in South Australia. Mind you, its been a while - but back in the day (when I was young and all that) we'd leave the Havvy at 12 midnight and roll to the Royal until 4am ... I don't actually remember any last calls at the Royal, I just remember heading on to the Kent until about 7am and then wandering through the city to get breakfast.
Good times.
I think you should compare with countries where there's not been an enforced closing time in recent history. And people who've been "taught" to drink sensibly. The British are many things, but they're defnitely not that.
simple question: do any of the "problem" clubs stay open afterhours?
