Clockwork refers to the inner workings of either a mechanical clock (where it is also called a movement) or another device that operates in a similar fashion (such as a dial indicator). Specifically, the term refers to mechanisms utilizing a complex series of gears.[1][2]
A clockwork motor is a clockwork device mechanically powered by a mainspring, a spiral torsion spring of metal ribbon. Energy is stored in the mainspring manually by winding it up, turning a key attached to a ratchet which twists the mainspring tighter. Then the force of the mainspring turns the clockwork's gears, until the stored energy is used up. The adjective wind-up refers to mainspring-powered clockwork devices, which include clocks and watches, kitchen timers, music boxes, and wind-up toys.
One of the earliest known examples of a clockwork mechanism is the Antikythera mechanism, a first-century BC geared analogue computer, somewhat astrolabe-like, for calculating astronomical positions and eclipses, recovered from a Greek shipwreck. There are many other accounts of clockwork devices in ancient Greece, even in its mythology, and the mechanism itself is sophisticated enough to indicate a significant history of lesser devices leading up to its creation.[3]
At some point, this level of sophistication in clockwork technology was lost or forgotten in Europe, and only returned when brought from the Islamic world after the Crusades, along with other knowledge leading to the Renaissance. Clockwork finally recovered the equivalent of pre-Roman technological levels in the 14th century.[4]
As in Greek mythology, there are ambitious automation claims in the legends of other cultures. For example, in Jewish legend, Solomon used his wisdom to design a throne with mechanical animals which hailed him as king when he ascended it; upon sitting down an eagle would place a crown upon his head, and a dove would bring him a Torah scroll. It's also said that when King Solomon stepped upon the throne, a mechanism was set in motion. As soon as he stepped upon the first step, a golden ox and a golden lion each stretched out one foot to support him and help him rise to the next step. On each side, the animals helped the King up until he was comfortably seated upon the throne.[5]
In ancient China, a curious account of automation is found in the Lie Zi text, written in the 3rd century BC. Within it there is a description of a much earlier encounter between King Mu of Zhou (1023-957 BC) and a mechanical engineer known as Yan Shi, an 'artificer'. The latter proudly presented the king with a life-size, human-shaped figure of his mechanical handiwork (Wade-Giles spelling):
The king stared at the figure in astonishment. It walked with rapid strides, moving its head up and down, so that anyone would have taken it for a live human being. The artificer touched its chin, and it began singing, perfectly in tune. He touched its hand, and it began posturing, keeping perfect time...As the performance was drawing to an end, the robot winked its eye and made advances to the ladies in attendance, whereupon the king became incensed and would have had Yen Shih [Yan Shi] executed on the spot had not the latter, in mortal fear, instantly taken the robot to pieces to let him see what it really was. And, indeed, it turned out to be only a construction of leather, wood, glue and lacquer, variously coloured white, black, red and blue. Examining it closely, the king found all the internal organs complete—liver, gall, heart, lungs, spleen, kidneys, stomach and intestines; and over these again, muscles, bones and limbs with their joints, skin, teeth and hair, all of them artificial...The king tried the effect of taking away the heart, and found that the mouth could no longer speak; he took away the liver and the eyes could no longer see; he took away the kidneys and the legs lost their power of locomotion. The king was delighted.[6]
Other notable examples include Archytas's dove, mentioned by Aulus Gellius.[7] Similar Chinese accounts of flying automata are written of the 5th century BC Mohist philosopher Mozi and his contemporary Lu Ban, who made artificial wooden birds (ma yuan) that could successfully fly according to the Han Fei Zi and other texts.[8]
By the 11th century, clockwork was used for both timepieces and to track astronomical events, in Europe. The clocks did not keep time very accurately by modern standards, but the astronomical devices were carefully used to predict the positions of planets and other movement. The same timeline seems to apply in Europe, where mechanical escapements were used in clocks by that time.
Up to the 15th century, clockwork was driven by water, weights, or other roundabout, relatively primitive means, but in 1430 a clock was presented to Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, that was driven by a spring. This became the standard technology until the mid 16th century, when Christiaan Huygens took an idea from Galileo Galilei and developed it into the first modern pendulum mechanism.
The Smithsonian Institution has in its collection a clockwork monk, about 15 in (380 mm) high, possibly dating as early as 1560. The monk is driven by a key-wound spring and walks the path of a square, striking his chest with his right arm, while raising and lowering a small wooden cross and rosary in his left hand, turning and nodding his head, rolling his eyes, and mouthing silent obsequies. From time to time, he brings the cross to his lips and kisses it. It is believed that the monk was manufactured by Juanelo Turriano, mechanician to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.[9]
Often power for the device is stored within it, via a winding device that applies mechanical stress to an energy-storage mechanism such as a mainspring, thus involving some form of escapement; in other cases, hand power may be utilized. The use of wheels, whether linked by friction or gear teeth, to redirect motion or gain speed or torque, is typical; many clockworks have been constructed primarily to serve as visible or implicit tours de force of mechanical ingenuity in this area. Sometimes clocks and timing mechanisms are used to set off explosives, timers, alarms and many other devices.
The most common examples are mechanical clocks and watches. Others include:
- Wind-up toys – often as a simple mechanical motor, or to create automata. These may be either key-wound, or a simpler pullback motor.
- Most leaf shutters use a clockwork mechanism not unlike that of wristwatches to time the opening and closing of the shutter blades.
- Mechanisms to turn the lens of lighthouses before electric motors.
- Mechanical calculators, used before electronic computers were developed around World War II. Among the most complex were Babbage's difference and analytical engines, which were mechanical versions of computers.
- Astronomical models, such as orreries whose history spans hundreds of years.
- Music boxes, which were very popular during the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th.
- Almost all phonographs built before the 1930s.
- Hand-powered electrical equipment, such as a clockwork radio, where an energy-storing spring accounting for much of the size and weight of the device spins a much smaller electric generator; such equipment is very popular where batteries and mains power (house current) are scarce.

There appears to be no longer any question, on the basis of recent research, that the mechanical clock and fine instrumentation evolved in a direct line without substantial change from the mechanical water clocks of the Alexandrine civilization, transmitted through Islam and Byzantium from a tradition that may have originated in China, that reached Europe in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.

Spanish Markets Battered Again
MADRID—Disappointing U.S. jobs data added to worries about global growth, and Spanish stocks groaned under the strain of bond yields that almost hit 7%.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index fell 1% to 254.41 on Friday, its third straight loss, although it notched a gain of 1.3% for the week. U.S. markets were solidly in the red as European markets closed.
Banks and car stocks fell as those sectors took another ding after a disappointing U.S. jobs report confirmed market worries about the global growth picture. Spanish lender BBVA slid 5.1%, making it one of worst-performing financial stocks.
Hardest hit among Europe's bourses was Spain's IBEX 35 index, which tumbled 3.1% to 6738.90, after dropping 3% Thursday. The battered market has plunged 21% so far this year
Along with sharp losses for BBVA, Banco Santander skidded 3.9% as investors remain worried about the health of the country's banking sector.
As stock prices fell, so did those for bonds, pushing the yield on the country's 10-year government bond to nearly 7%, a level that analysts consider unsustainable over the longer term. The 10-year yield rose 0.18 percentage point to 6.98%, leaving it around levels not seen since before the European Union summit a week ago.
Spain reported industrial production data sank 6.1% in May from a year earlier. While the decline wasn't as steep as feared, production has now shrunk for nine consecutive months.
Ioan Smith, director at Knight Capital Europe, said with yields on Spain's bonds soaring, it is clear the "half-life" of decisions reached during the June 28-29 European Union summit had been less than a week.
"Yesterday, the ECB continued to put the onus on governments to solve their debt crisis" and "did not even discuss 'nonstandard' measures such as buying Spanish and Italian bonds to lower borrowing costs," creating "another overhang," he said, in emailed comments.
Interest-rate cuts from China and the European Central Bank and easing measures from the Bank of England, all announced Thursday, also failed to appease investors as ECB President Mario Draghi spoke of lower growth prospects.
Underscoring the dismal growth picture, Peugeot PUGOY 2.84 % dived 7.7%. France's biggest car maker said global sales plunged in the first half of the year because of recessions in key European markets.
The CAC 40 index dropped 1.9% to 3168.79. Tire maker Michelin BMW 2.38 % dropped 2.5%. German car makers Daimler DDAIY 1.27 % and BMW BMW 2.38 % slid 3.3% and 4.6%, respectively.
But banks were also falling fast, with Société Générale SCGLY -0.45 % sliding 5.7% and Crédit Agricole CRARY 0.00 % declining 4.6%, both in Paris. In Frankfurt, Commerzbank dropped 3.5% and Deutsche Bank DB -1.53 % fell 4.7%. Barclays lost 2.1% in London.
Among other national benchmarks, the DAX 30 index fell 1.9% to 6410.11 and the FTSE 100 index felll 0.5% to 5662.63.
U.K. retailers fell across the board. Marks & Spencer Group MAKSY 0.12 % lost 3.4% ahead of a business update next week. Resource stocks also declined; heavyweight miner Rio Tinto slid 2.8%.
Shares of Aviva AV 0.00 % rose 1.2%. The insurer successfully sold shares in Dutch firm Delta Lloyd, DLLLY 5.97 % which fell 4.4%.

text: 19 Jun 2014 Festival fashion and accessories: what to pack Previous slide Next slide 1 of 17 View All Skip Ad 1. Boden Carnaby cardigan £41.40; boden.co.uk It can be surprisingly chilly as night falls over a festival. Add a little colour and warmth to your ensemble in this cashmere/cotton-blend cardigan: it allows the wearer to dip her toes in the world of colour blocking without succumbing to that awful category of "fun" clothing. If you don't like yellow, it is also available in coral pink and a fresh sky blue. By Lizzie Porter and John O'Ceallaigh Travel Guides app Download the free Telegraph Travel app , featuring expert guides to destinations including Paris, Rome, New York, Venice and Amsterdam Follow Telegraph Travel on Twitter Follow Telegraph Travel on Facebook 2. Topshop Clean Ponte leggings £18; topshop.com Jeans are uncomfortable in the rain and heat alike; a pair of leggings in a robust material is more comfortable, and arguably just as stylish, particularly when worn with a tunic-style top. They will dry out quickly in the inevitable rain. 3. Joules Parka-style jacket £129; joules.com Offerings for women of waterproof coats in shades other than bright fuchsia and neon green are scant. Joules is one of the few to have come up with a stylish solution. This sheeny blue lightweight parka is waterproof (to a certain extent), comes with welted pockets and is machine washable to boot. The spotty lining adds festival-appropriate cheer. 4. Philip Kingsley One More Day Dry Shampoo £6; philipkingsley.co.uk Face it: you are not going to be anywhere near proper hair-washing facilities for several days, and you might not deem it seemly to attempt DIY hair-washing equipped only with a bucket. Thank goodness, then, for dry shampoo. Sprayed on to roots, it keeps hair looking fresh for a few days longer than it would under normal conditions. Some brands leave a white dusty coating on hair, or have a sickly sweet smell. 5. Whistles Edie sunglasses £60; whistles.com You need to be prepared for weather of any sort, given that you are likely to be spending long periods of time in the middle of a field, with little shade or shelter. These sunglasses will stop you squinting at the stage in the hoped-for event of bright sunshine, and would also be good for hiding the effects of the night before. They are available in camel or brown and come with a protective case. 6. Banana Republic Everly foldover clutch in natural £49.50; bananarepublic.gap.co.uk If festival-bound, you will need a not-too-expensive bag to replace your everyday lugaround. Said item needs to be secure, adjustable and not so precious it will be the end of the world if it gets dirty, crushed or stolen. This bag hints at festival spirit, with its loose tassel zipper, but won't leave you cringing at having overdone the "boho" look when you cast your eyes back over your photos. It has a foldover zipped top and an inner zipped compartment to keep your valuables safe; strap it tight and dance the night away. 7. Aigle Aiglentine wellingtons £95; aigle.com There are times and places for welly-wearing: a festival is one of them. This natural rubber pair from Aigle, handmade in France, ha s an adjustable waterproof gusset and a man-made lining, so the boots are washable and quick to dry. Aigle has a terrific selection of wellington boots, from the traditional to floral "shortie" versions, as well as waterproof jackets and Liberty-print shirts. There is also a good range of jackets and T-shirts for children. 8. Zara printed tunic £45.99; zara.com Stay comfortable and stylish in Zara's tunic, with a slightly retro yellow, grey, brown and black print. It will see you through from brunches in the food tents to 4am dancing under the stars. The gentle V-neck is flattering for all, and in hot weather the more audacious could wear it as a dress with flip-flops for short hops from the camping area. Throw it in the washing machine when you return home. If this one is not quite your style, Zara has a stylish selection of other summer dresses and tunics. 9. Go Travel Twin Power Bank £24.99; go-travelproducts.com Modern technology keeps us connected, and this is useful at a festival when you need to meet people at unspecified times. Best to make sure you aren't the victim of flat batteries when plugs aren't to hand by taking with you this on-the-go power pack. Charge it before you go and plug in your phone, tablet or other USB-linked device. It comes with a cable and two ports so multiple devices can be charged. 10. Halo Handy Hygienic Wipes £1.20; halowipes.co.uk What with snacks on the hoof and spilt drinks - not to mention all that mud - festivals tend not to be the cleanest of environments. Keep fresh with a couple of packets of wipes, which are a hygienic way to wipe sticky skin clean. They are available from Tesco, Sainsbury's, Superdrug, Spar, Boots and independent pharmacies. 11. Lifesystems Trek first-aid kit £13.50; lifesystems.co.uk Most festivals are well set up with first-aid facilities, but it's annoying to have to trek over to the designated area if all you have is a minor scrape, blister or headache. Pack a compact kit to deal with them on your own. This includes, among other things, paracetamol, micropore tape and the all-important blister plasters. 12. Vango Mirage 300 tent £190; cotswoldoutdoor.com If you are going to be living under canvas - or, more accurately, Protex polyester - for three nights, it pays to make it as comfortable as possible. This three-man tent may not be the cheapest, but it is sturdy and has features such as a breathable inner fabric. Its semi-geodesic design means it is self-supporting - useful in a crowded field when you're not guaranteed to be able to peg out the guy ropes. It weighs 3.65kg and is supposedly pitchable in 12 minutes. 13. Topman bumbag £14; topman.com A festival presents one of the few occasions when it is not only excusable but in fact sensible for a man to wear a bumbag. More compact and secure than a backpack, this discreet version packs enough space to hold all your essentials as you move from picnic site to party to portaloo. 14. Boots disposable foam earplugs £2.39 for three pairs; boots.com Should a surge in the crowd see you shunted uncomfortably close to a speaker (or an especially irritating group of festival-goers), these cheap, pliable and near weightless earplugs should provide some protection. 15. Nike Air Max trainers £95; size.co.uk Wellies are, of course, a festival staple but if this summer proves to be another scorcher, they won't make for comfortable festival attire. Providing stylish support from morning to night, Nike's classic cushioned trainers provide an alternative. While darker hues are best if you're roaming across dusty fields, there's a range of colours in stock so finding a pair to complement festival outfits both demure or decadent won't be a problem. 16. River Island grey metal aviator sunglasses £10; riverisland.com If you're attending one of the more rambunctious festivals, it's best to leave expensive, delicate sunglasses at home. Affordable without looking cheap, this pair should see you through the party season and are easily replaced should they be left behind at the bar or trampled on during a particularly vigorous dancing session. 17. Sandqvist Multicoloured Goran backpack £170; liberty.co.uk This backpack's playful colour scheme makes it clear it's intended for recreational use rather than work-related travel, but it's built to last. Made of Cordura, cotton and leather, it should look better with age, too, and its generous size means it should easily accommodate a weekend's worth of festival wear.

I heard they're getting rod if the 0.4/0.8 ml droppers in baby tylenol. So save yours or buy them. at a medical store or something

then how are you supposed to measure the correct dose? I'm sure they will provide something they can't just give you the medicine without a dropper or syringe

how much are you supposed to give them? I wanted to use it last night (for the first time) but the label says consult doctor under age of 2. that piece of information was totally useless at 2am with a screaming baby.
My doc says 0.8

I wouldn't keep those droppers if I were you. They won't be accurate. They're changing the concentration of infant acetaminophen according to the FDA.

I believe that's because under two Tylenol says to ask your doc if you should use it for LO and for correct dosage. They don't want to be liable for any problems.

Editor: This letter is a satirical response to a letter by Dr. Mildred Koger published in the Record on June 9, 2012 wherein she makes disparaging remarks about the president of the United States and proposes an alternative.
Come with me on an unbelievable tour of Fantasyland. When you enter, we'll spin you around and around in ever diminishing circles of cutting federal, state, and local funding for police, fire, and public schools on the Mad Hatter's Tea Party ride. Now race up and down on the Matterhorn Bobsled Stock Market ride, right past your plummeting 401k. And we've only just started our adventure!
Welcome to Tomorrow Land where the future is today as you ready your rockets and blast off into the twin orbits of tax cuts for billionaires and supersonic job growth. It's a fantastic voyage through the murky waters of trickle-down economics — not just a collection of the same old supply-side gizmos — it's all new, improved, and completely different. Hang on to your ballot for a full money-back guarantee. Then save the galaxy by pulling the rug out from under seniors who think they're going to keep getting their Social Security and Medicare — old people are a bunch of freeloaders. Submerge yourself in the inky outer reaches of the parallel universe of astronomic risk taking, unforeseen outcomes, income disparity, obscene CEO pay, "heads I win — tails you lose" bailouts, corporate welfare, and the mysterious disappearance of the middle class as we know it. It can be a glowing Brave New Third World in America if you'll just believe me one more time.

Ballot Counting Continues As Wash. Governor's Race Remains Undecided
Washington's race for governor still hasn't been called. Hundreds of thousands of ballots remain uncounted. A disproportionate number of those votes are in heavily Democratic King County, with nearly a third of the state's electorate.
That would seem to bode well for Democrat Jay Inslee. Inslee retains a narrow lead over Republican Rob McKenna.
The conventional wisdom and the statistical analysis would seem to suggest that while the race may tighten that Jay Inslee will be the next governor of Washington but nobody's conceding and nobody's declaring victory just yet.
In order to win, the McKenna campaign would need to gain a significant advantage among last minute voters. Since election night McKenna has improved his performance in King County, but not dramatically.
Still it's possible the outcome of this race will remain unclear into early next week.

Ipswich: Road killer Scott Nicholls MUST take his second chance – mum speaks out on fourth anniversary of Foxhall Road crash
15:58 21 February 2013
THIS is his second chance, he must make the most of it.
They are the humble words from Dot Richardson to the man responsible for killing her daughter Kate as he prepares to return to a free life – four years after his actions left two families devastated.
Scott Nicholls is due to be released any day now – almost four years to the day after he got into a car while over the alcohol limit and with drugs in his system and ploughed into Emma Harold, her younger sister Beccy and Kate as they walked home from a night out.
Emma, 26, and 25-year-old Kate were killed, Beccy was left with life-changing injuries.
Mrs Richardson, of Chelmondiston, told The Star this year has been the hardest anniversary to face.
"This year has been the worst," she said.
"I tend to bury my head in the sand and don't really think about him (Nicholls), I'm not really interested in what happens to him whatsoever."
But the 58-year-old added: "Having said that, it is a small town and you do hear things.
"It is extremely hard, it shouldn't be any different to any other year, but it is.
"The biggest insult for me would be if he came out a reoffended.
"This is his second chance – I want him to take it.
"He is lucky to have it and must make the most of it.
"My friends tell me I have forgiven him, and although I can't say the words out loud, I think in my heart I have."

Revan staggered for a moment as he moved to past Kira. He moved his hand to his head, and closed his eyes, shaking his head slightly as if to clear a fog from his mind.
"You alright?" asked Atton, feigning concern.
Revan shook his head. He looked up`at Kira, and saw that she was giving him an odd look. "You feel it too," he said. It wasn't a question.
She nodded.
Atton arched an eyebrow. "Feel what?"
"Nothing," said Revan. "That's just the problem. There's... nothing. The Force is... gone. Silent."
Kira looked up at the trees around her. "It must be those Ysalmir or whatever things. The ones we saw in the security recording from Bastila's ship."
"We should proceed with caution," said Revan solemnly.
"Agreed," said Kira, nodding. "Without the Force, we're vulnerable to attack."
Atton rolled his eyes. "Jedi..." he muttered. "Let's get moving."

Botnets are one of the most serious security threats to the Internet and its end users. In recent years, utilizing P2P as a Command and Control (C&C) protocol has become popular due to its decentralized nature that can help hide the botmaster's identity. Most bot detection approaches targeting P2P botnets either rely on behavior monitoring or traffic flow and packet analysis, requiring fine-grained information collected locally. This requirement limits the scale of detection. In this paper, we consider detection of P2P botnets at a high-level - the infrastructure level-by exploiting their structural properties from a graph analysis perspective. Using three different P2P overlay structures, we measure the effectiveness of detecting each structure at various locations (the Autonomous System (AS), the Point of Presence (PoP), and the router rendezvous) in the Internet infrastructure.

The flavor of these cookies are amazing. I used dried ginger and honey. It's so easy to do. But it was a little bit hard to remove from the pan. So next time I'll grease the pan before adding the parchment paper. Thanks Delicious Bits :) Made for PAC Spring 2013
These were awesome! Everyone commented on the layers of flavour. You can taste each ingredient is these wedges. I didn't have any of the gingerroot from the jar, and I don't like ground ginger...so I used freshly grated (very fine). These will be made again and again. Thanks for sharing!

Posted on 08/15/2009 3:37:09 PM PDT by kcvl
Political Insider Health care activism forces Dick Armey to resign 4:44 pm August 14, 2009, by Jim Galloway
Former U.S. House majority leader Dick Armey is the keynote speaker at Saturdays anti-health care reform rally in Atlantas Centennial Park.
But as of today, hes also underemployed. This from Politico.com:
Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-Texas) is resigning from DLA Piper law firm amid a wave of negative attention his grassroots organization, Freedom Works, has drawn for helping to organize protesters at health care town hall meetings with members of Congress.
In an interview Armey said that he was concerned about the media scrutiny the health care protests were drawing to the firm he has been associated with since retiring from Congress.
The firm is busy with its business, and shouldnt be asked to take time out from their work, to defend themselves of spurious allegations, Armey said. No client of this firm is going to be free to mind its own business without harassment as long as Im associated with it.
In a statement, DLA Piper Chairman Frank Burch said the parting was mutual.
You mean the Atlanta Urinal-Constipation is still being published?
When was the last time any ACORN leader resigned?
ROFLMAO!!! Never heard it called that before!!
why does he have to resign?? i'm so tired of pussy republicans with no balls. they are worse that liberals.
His activism was getting in the way of the law firm conducting business. I absolutely understand why he did it. The press must have been hounding them.
"When was the last time any ACORN leader resigned?"
This is STUPID.
THIS is how they silence EFFECTIVE people.
Dick needs to tell them where they can get off and become BOLDER and in their face.
Wake up Dick!
So, on your OWN time, you cannot express your opinion of head or be part of an organization that is not favorable to Obama? How come UNIONS, don't have that problem. They ALL SUPPORT OBAMA and when I state this, no one in a UNION feels compelled to resign or step aside so the UNION members don't feel "harassed" or "associated" with Obama?
Again, GOPers have a different standard.
"When was the last time any ACORN leader resigned?"
Or how about the America Bar Association?
When was the last time a Democrat acted ethically, or with a sense of propriety?
I have great respect for Dick Armey. He is an honorable man.
Did you ever think that he wishes to resign rather than harm his firm. You know what the Left is capable of when it comes to frivolous lawsuits.
Sorry, I do not see this like you do.
It's time for Dick Army, Santorum, Watts and a few others that have had a respite to get back in the game.
Army shouldn't let these people silence him and now he can become more vocal. Let's hope that's his intentions.
Perhaps some of the partners of the law firm are Obama supporters, and gave him an ultimatum?
Dick Armey steps aside to avoid his firm being "Palinized"
so back down with his tail between his legs like most republicans. i'm sick to death of it. it's time fight. if not now, then when??
Yeah, Armey should selfishly hang in there are let everybody else at his law firm worry about themselves. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Class act by Armey
Geez...some of you people are stupid.
nah, he should fold like all republicans and run to the hills squalling like sissy. makes me sick.
yep, class act. these republicans are the ones who "class acted" conservatives into this mess we are in now. no say over nothing. nothing to do but raise cain in townhall meetings.
i'm tired of the benefit of the doubt. those words mean that conservatives lose every time. how about the benefit of the damn truth for a change. wouldn't that be novel??
Why ruin the law firm? What's the point in doing that? Instead, he now has more time for Freedom Works.
who says he won't be more effective at leadership on this issue by quitting his job?
Seems to be working OK for Sarah. She gets as much coverage for sitting home posting on Facebook as Bambi does flying Air Force One across Americna and speaking at staged rallies.
That's Rush's name for it.
With 3,700 lawyers located in 29 countries and 67 offices throughout Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the US, DLA Piper is positioned to help companies with their legal needs anywhere in the world.
if there is anything we should have learned from eight years of "bush is evil" crap is that the squeaky wheel gets the most grease. the example of bush letting libs define him is the one we should learn from. instead, we allow it to happen again and again. i say ENOUGH!!! don't retreat, hit'em until their eyes water.
I'm sick to death of folks sitting behind a keyboard who complain about what others do or don't do for the 'cause.' Armey gave up his position with this law firm so he could be an activist in a cause he believes in.
What have you personally sacrificed for the cause?
"DLA Piper is positioned to help companies with their legal needs anywhere in the world."
unless they are conservative, then push them off the edge by all means.
why sacrifice anything?? this country is now about "what's in it for me". the repubs were just as big a duck in the pond with their lack of leadership kow-towing to the left everytime they stub their damn toe. when out elected leaders grow some balls maybe it will inspire folks like myself to personally sacrifice something. it's stupid to sacrifice when the altar is made of cardboard by cowards.
Oh please! Armey was no longer an asset. The honorable thing to do was leave. And he did.
Your hysteria is silly. Is Palin a coward because she quit when she was no longer effective? Give it rest.
Rachael Maddow accused Armey's Freedom Works of organizing some of protests at some of the Town Hall meetings on behalf of those insurance companies.
Maddow and Armey are scheduled together on one of the news shows tomorrow morning.
why, because some lib commentator declared it so and made an inane blathering point about it??? better run to the hills because olberfart made a smelly noise.
See post 34. Better Armey leave than be accused of improprieties.
always. anytime olberfart accuses then we'd better run huh??
liberals lie about their political and monetary connections and it's just fine. conservatives take it in the kiester over and over again. it's disgusting. period.
The info in post 34 could hurt Armey's efforts. I now think that he needed to leave in order to fight....the same reason Palin resigned. Sarah is much more effective now than before. I hope that proves true for Armey as well.
Conservatives are honest. That's one reason they are conservatives.
A conflict of interest could damage Armey's efforts.
what's the lie?? did armey ever lie about his connections to insurance?? liberals are connected to their interest group again and again and no one calls them on it.
does the conflict ever damage liberals. no, because they stand up to it.
I don't think Dick Armey needs any advice from you!
why is it all of the sudden that having a personal interest in a political postion a conflict of interest?? why does it only apply to conservatives?? why does it seem that lately conservative have to sacrifice things they've worked so hard at and become "outsiders" to be effective?? i don't recall a liberal doing that.
So you want him to be dishonest.
From now on, I will ignore you.
i wasn't offering any. i'm simply fed up with the namby-pamby mincing of words and the fear.
i still don't know how what he would be doing is dishonest if he doesn't hide it?? maybe i'm wrong but i don't think so.
Boortz has been calling it that for years, then others picked up on it. It makes me smile every time.

SEOUL, Aug. 22 (Yonhap) -- Top officials of South Korea's largest carmaker Hyundai Motor Co. were meeting with their counterparts in the labor union on Thursday to try to resolve the latest dispute over wages, officials said, amid no apparent signs of progress.
The full-scale negotiations come two days after Hyundai's 46,000-strong labor union launched a partial strike to press its demand for higher wages and more fringe benefits.
The unionized workers of Hyundai returned to their jobs on Thursday as their leaders were holding high-stakes negotiations with the management soon after 3 p.m.
Company officials did not give any details on whether the company is willing to soften its stance on the union's demand.
Hyundai Motor President Yoon Gap-han, who will represent the company in the negotiations, has said some of the union's demands are excessive and the company cannot accept them.
Hyundai's union is demanding, among other things, a hike of 130,498 won (US$117) in basic salaries and a one-year extension of the retirement age to 61, as well as a performance-based bonus equal to 30 percent of the company's net profit last year that reached 9 trillion won.
It also calls for 10 million won each for workers' children who choose to seek employment instead of going to college.
Union spokesman Kwon Oh-il said his union hopes to quickly resolve the latest dispute by focusing on negotiations if the management offers "forward-looking" proposals.
"We will discuss our future course of action after reviewing the outcome of the negotiations," Kwon said by phone from Ulsan, home to Hyundai's main production facility, located some 410 kilometers southeast of Seoul.
He indicated that the union will down its tools again and increase its protests unless the company makes some concessions.
The negotiations came a day after Hyundai Motor Chairman Chung Mong-koo met with Gov. Nathan Deal of Georgia in Seoul.
Deal's office said on its website that the governor will lead a high-level delegation of Georgia's officials and business leaders to China and Japan Aug. 22-30, though it did not say whether South Korea is part of Deal's itinerary.
Hyundai officials declined to elaborate on the meeting. Still, the rare meeting raised speculation that Deal may have asked Chung to expand Kia Motors' assembly plant in Georgia, which currently has the annual production capacity of 360,000 units.
Kia is Hyundai's smaller sister company, and the two together form the world's fifth-largest carmaker.
Hyundai has a separate assembly plant in Montgomery, Alabama, which has an annual production capacity of 360,000 units.
In May, Chung said that he has no immediate plans to expand factories in the United States, though his group has been struggling with a short supply in the second-largest market due to strikes at home.
Also Thursday, about 30,000 unionized workers of Kia, Hyundai's smaller sister company, returned to their jobs, a day after staging a partial strike to bolster their demands for higher wages and other fringe benefits, according to a Kia official.
Still, the Kia official said his company has no plan to hold full-scale negotiations with the union this week, though working-level contacts are still under way. A Kia union official handling media was not immediately reached for comment.
The partial strikes prevented Hyundai and Kia, which together form the world's fifth-largest carmaker, from producing 5,447 units, costing the carmakers 108 billion won in lost production, according to company officials.
Labor disputes at Hyundai Motor have been an almost annual event in the past two decades. Its workers have downed their tools every year since 1986 except for in 1994, 2009, 2010 and 2011. A strike last year cost the carmaker some 1.7 trillion won in lost production.
Kia's union has gone on strike every year except in 2010 and 2011 since 1999, when the country's No. 2 carmaker was taken over by Hyundai following the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis.

Federal Emergency Management Agency officials say they're disappointed by the number of people in the Red River Valley and elsewhere who don't have flood insurance.
FEMA officials say the number of insurance policies in flood-prone Fargo and Cass County dropped by more than 40 percent in the last year. Flood policies in all of North Dakota declined 32 percent.
The National Weather Service says there's a 50 percent chance that Fargo will have one of the area's top five floods of all time.
FEMA spokesman Dave Kyner says people often make the mistake of attempting to time the market for flood insurance, especially after quiet years like 2012.
Policies must be in effect for 30 days before any flood damage is covered.

Supporters of Israel are calling on the Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs to "build bridges" rather than seek a boycott of Israeli goods.
Earlier this week Eamon Gilmore hinted that he planned to push the European Union to block goods produced in the settlements, in order to pressure the Israeli government into making changes in policy.
The circus is coming to town. And I don't mean circuses the way we know them now. No, I mean the bad old days when circuses included animals and oddly-shaped people and spectators would come to howl with derision and enjoy the torment of both freaks and beasts. That's what is headed to London's South Bank. It's called the Habima Theatre.
Grass-roots supporters of Israel have pledged to wage a "long campaign" in an effort to overturn the Co-operative supermarket's refusal to stock produce from West Bank settlements.
An Amnesty International director's claim that she had not received complaints about the charity's work with Israelis and Palestinians has been disputed by the Zionist Federation.
The NHS trust that bowed to a union's Israel boycott and cancelled an Israeli speaker is likely to face legal action for breaking anti-discrimination law.
Supporters of Israel are being encouraged to boycott Co-operative supermarkets in response to the collective's refusal to stock produce from Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
The Co-op is the fifth biggest food retailer in the country. It extended its policy to bar engagement with any Israeli suppliers known to work with the settlements last month.
Actors from the Palestinian Ashtar Theatre and their supporters have insisted that art is a basic human right - and then declared that all Israeli performers should be boycotted and stopped from performing at the Globe Theatre.
It felt as if we were struggling through the waterlogged ship with them. The iceberg loomed frighteningly close to our seats. And magnified on the IMAX screen, with all the benefits of 3D technology bestowed upon it, Rose's "Heart of the Ocean" diamond was still a tacky and unconvincing piece of costume jewellery.
The British Council has distanced itself from the pro-boycott aims of a Palestinian literature festival due to take place in Gaza from this Saturday.
One of Britain's largest supermarket chains is to boycott all companies which source produce from Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
The Co-operative movement, which has refused to stock products from the settlements since 2009, this week took the decision to extend its policy and will now bar engagement with any Israeli suppliers known to work with the settlements.

With A Little Help From Our Friends
Dave Lu had his "aha" moment for creating Fanpop from a Web site he built in his spare time just after graduating from business school. The site focused exclusively on Canon digital cameras, and provided a forum for users to come together and learn how to use the devices effectively, and share their experiences with each other. Through affiliate marketing programs and Google AdSense, he found himself pulling in more than $1,000 a month from the site without doing much of anything. "It turned out to be a great source of passive income," Lu said.
At the same time, as a big fan of the television show The Office, Lu was constantly surfing fan forums, taking polls, and keeping on top of the show. Putting it all together, he came up with the idea for a network of social portals where "communities of interest" could access, contribute, and share content on topics dear to their hearts. "I realized that we'd never gotten past the first generation of fan sites," he said. "Really, they had pretty much stayed at the level of Yahoo Groups."
Excited by the possibilities, he got together three of his friends and proposed a social networking platform that would facilitate the creation of fan sites that could be designed and run by their members. "By giving the fan communities themselves the tools they needed to build their sites, we don't have to keep up with the trends -- our users do that for us," said Lu. Today, Fanpop is a conglomeration of social networks, polls, image galleries, news, and -- of course -- user forums. "Because the community owns the site, there is no hierarchy for managing it," said Lu. Fanpop itself generates its revenue through affiliate marketing and display advertising."
The four partners made a conscious decision not to go to venture capitalists for money. Instead, they raised $100,000 from family and friends in January 2006, "and we haven't taken any money since then," Lu said. "We never wanted to lose control of the vision."
Early on, Lu bumped into the term "lifestyle entrepreneur" and found it derogatory. "I don't see how our company is different from those that ended up getting a lot of funding," he said. "When I hear that term, I know we're being written off."
Yet, Lu argued, "we're building a business as much as anyone else. Just because we're four guys, just because we didn't take VC money, doesn't mean we're not thinking big."
The partners have also, for now, opted not to hire additional employees, but to share the work amongst themselves. This was a very personal decision," Lu admitted. "Once you start growing, politics starts infiltrating the organization. Cliques form. That was what we couldn't stand about large companies. We love being able to sit in one room and call out to each other when we have an idea or need help."
Each of the four partners has taken significant risks to do what they are doing. "If we were just into cushy lifestyles, we would have all taken six-figure salary, and a safe corporate environment," he said. "But it's very rewarding. We're in charge of our own destiny."
For Lu, the most rewarding part has been doing the things he wasn't trained to do. After working at Yahoo and eBay as a product manager, he got his MBA at Stanford before founding Fanpop. Yet he finds himself doing everything from graphic design to HTML coding to business development, accounting, and finance. "Because we all chip in for anything that needs to be done, we're 150% to 200% more productive than large companies."

Hear from port board candidates
Published: Monday, March 14, 2011 at 10:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 14, 2011 at 10:30 a.m.
THIBODAUX — Hear from the two candidates in an upcoming election for a seat on the board that oversees Port Fourchon.
A forum, put on by the Lafourche Chamber of Commerce and moderated by members of the media, will be at 10:30 a.m. Thursday in the Bouvier Room of the Larose Civic Center. It's open to the public, and will also be broadcast live on KLRZ radio and filmed by Vision Communications, to be aired before the election.
Businessman John Melancon, a Republican from Cut Off, and Harry Cheramie, a Democrat from Galliano, have registered as candidates for the April 2 special election of the Greater Lafourche Port Commission to fill the seat of longtime commissioner Johnny Melancon. The victor will serve out the end of his term until Dec. 31, 2012.

Recently, SVB held a webinar on the Payment Card Industry (PCI) risks

It's been an Eminence fixture for 33 years, and now, it's getting a bit of a floor-to-ceiling face-lift.
Recently, Norm's Food World founder Norm Wood and partners, sons David, Spencer and Steve Wood decided their fixture needed new fixtures.
Store manager Steve Wood said major renovations are in the works. He expects work to continue for about six months, but said since they are doing it in phases, he does not expect any store closures.
Two men have been arrested after they were found vandalizing an automobile belonging to their grandmother.
Kentucky State Police Trooper Tim Moore made the arrests shortly after midnight on March 1.
Jonathon Clark, 21, of Campbellsburg and Joshua Abbott, 22, of Eminence were charged with first degree criminal mischief.
In just a few short weeks, Dr. Seuss, Spongebob Squarepants, Nemo, the Addams Family, Pocahontas and the Yellow Submarine will share stage time in Henry County.
It's all part of the celebration of Music in the Schools Month, and both the Henry County Public and Eminence Independent Schools will have special performances.
In Eminence, both beginning and intermediate bands will present their annual concert at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 11, in the school gymnasium.

Joe Sullivan likens getting an accurate weather picture to a Hindu parable about five blind men asked to describe an animal.
Sullivan, a warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Louisville, tells the story to his storm spotter classes.
It started with a simple goal: bike 300 miles, and raise some cash for charity.
But in 2009, Eminence Baptist Church's Rev. Michael Duncan surpassed his initial goal, biking 501 miles and raising $2,200 for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. The effort made him the top individual fundraiser in Henry County last year.
Along the way, Duncan lost 20 pounds and lowered his resting heart rate to 56 beats per minute.
It took two out of control meetings in a row for Pleasureville Mayor Rodney Young to bang the gavel, saying he'd had enough.
After Monday night's meeting became a shouting match between commissioners, former commissioners and city residents, Young used the gavel, hitting the gavel's pad several times trying to gain control of a meeting that had veered wildly off track.
Academic teams from five area elementary schools gathered Saturday at New Castle Elementary School for the District Governor's Cup competition.

After asking President Obama if the prospect of Donald Trump having control of the nuclear codes was "frightening," in part two of a White House interview aired on Tuesday's NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie worried that Trump was the one launching personal attacks: "Does it feel personal? I mean, Mr. Trump has made it pretty personal against you. I could give you a list, which I guess I probably don't need to."

Celebrities are literally doing everything they can to aid Hillary in her fight for the presidency. So, on Tuesday, before the Democratic nominee stepped onto the stage, they appeared on the big screen in an a cappella version of "Fight Song" – a tune Hillary has used throughout her campaign.
Pitch Perfect actress Elizabeth Banks, who directed the video, was the first to appear. Smiling complacently, she proudly adjusted the Clinton pin on her blazer and declared: "This is for Hillary."

Wednesday on Morning Joe, co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski continued to marvel over the "obvious excitement" at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. While the hosts insisted there was no comparison between the DNC and the RNC, they continued to build up the Democrats by knocking down the Republicans. The liberal hosts painted a picture of an "excited" DNC filled with "history" and "emotion," compared to an RNC laden with "empty seats" and "sleepwalking."

America's wealthiest media mogul calls himself a "moderate" businessman, but his money and media empire tell the story of a self-absorbed liberal intent on influencing the 2016 election.
Michael Bloomberg announced on March 7, 2016, he would not run for president in 2016 because "there is a good chance that my candidacy could lead to the election of Donald Trump or Senator Ted Cruz." Now that the race has narrowed, Bloomberg endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on stage during the party's convention Wednesday night.

Irony is lost on the residents of Tinseltown. An open letter to American voters was released Tuesday morning by the progressive political action group MoveOn.org. The sole purpose of the letter is to take down Donald Trump. The pledge, #UnitedAgainstHate, has been signed by a who's who of lefty Hollywood stars and activists. Signers "believe it is our responsibility to use our platforms to bring attention to the dangers of a Trump presidency, and to the real and present threats of his candidacy."

The Washington Post awarded associate editor David Maraniss front-page real estate in Wednesday's paper to gush over Bill Clinton's speech and reminisce about the Clintons and their, well, "inimitable and tumultous partnership." That's code for "a marriage wracked by admissions of sexual harassment (and accusations of sexual assault), adultery, and a lot of lying about it."
The headline in the paper was "Only the Clintons: Bill delivers the speech no one else could." Online, it was gushier: "Only the Clintons: Bill's speech was unlike anything we've ever seen."

Media bias manifests itself in a number of ways. More often than not, bias is self-evident when examining the framing of a story. On other occasions, bias presents when determining which facts are presented and which are cast aside, brushed over, or omitted. And sometimes, bias is revealed via a gross misrepresentation of fact. Today we will examine a glaring instance of the latter.

Things got wild on CNN Tonight in the wee hours of Wednesday morning following Hillary Clinton officially becoming the Democratic Party's nominee for president. During a discussion about how Clinton should have handled the Benghazi situation and her high negatives, Donald Trump supporter Kayleigh McEnany point out her series of scandals, "I think there's a reason that 68 percent of voters don't trust her. That didn't happen in a vacuum." But write for The Atlantic Peter Beinart blames societal sexism.

Following former President Bill Clinton's speech at the Democratic Nation Convention Tuesday evening CNN's America's Choice 2016 panel was overcome with exuberance from his words. "First of all, let's just stipulate, this guy's one of a kind," David Axelrod proclaimed with delight, "There's nobody else who can turn an auditorium like this into as intimate a place as he did tonight." Almost every panelist had something glowing to say about Bill Clinton's address.

UPDATE: Piper Jaffray Downgrades Yahoo! to Neutral
Piper Jaffray has published a research report on Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) and has downgraded the company from Overweight to Neutral after the announced sale of the company's Alibaba assets.
In the report, Piper Jaffray writes, "The bottom line is that with Yahoo!'s now planned sale of its Alibaba assets, the biggest one year catalyst for shares has been removed. As a result, we are downgrading YHOO to Neutral from Overweight with the same $18 target. We believe the turnaround of the core company is likely to be a slow, multi-year process now that the company is again working with a new CEO. With the most important tranche of its Asian assets now spoken for, we believe investor attention must be shifted to the core of Yahoo!, which we believe remains challenged. Over the next 6-9 months we will be watching the new interim CEO. We would become more constructive once a new strategy is defined and tangibly implemented."
Piper Jaffray maintains its $18 price target on Yahoo!, which is currently trading up $0.19 from Friday's $15.42 closing price.

To The Editor: Sheriff Rick Davis and his department continue to do superior work. A few years ago, I moved from Hendersonville to Haywood County. Even here, when one hears citizens speak of superior policing, invariably they're referring to Sheriff Davis. He and his department convey professionalism throughout the region, which reflects incredibly well on Henderson County.
He has learned from military leadership training that taking care of the troops equals mission success. His soft-spoken, no-nonsense ideas now have officers well-equipped, well-trained, well-led and highly motivated to carry out their public service duties.
At the opposite end is the Laurel Park Police Department. I worked there several years ago. To this day it's known in police circles for no training, poor equipment, low morale and a high turnover rate. Laurel Park is effectively a geographically and demographically isolated subdivision; as such it will always have a lower crime rate even if no police department existed. It is easy to solve everyone else's problems when one has never had to face any in reality.
Sheriff Davis accomplished more for the community and his department in four years than others have yet to do in 16. Well done!

THE SIEGE of Budapest, which lasted fifty-two days, caused the inhabitants privations of unparalleled intensity in the history of the world war which came to an end recently. The siege did not affect the whole city alike. Some districts were relieved of the blockade in a relatively short time, while others were compelled to suffer throughout the duration of the siege. Buda, situated on the right side of the Danube, in the mountainous district where the mad and fruitless resistance was organized, suffered through the entire fifty-two day period of the siege. The OTBA Hospital, one of the most up-to-date sanatoriums of Middle Europe, is situated in this area and after exactly one year of activity found itself in the midst of the siege.
The hospital, though the building was rather new, constructed according to the latest principles of medical science, was unable to meet the wartime demands because it
