A difficult week on Wall Street came to a dismal end, with storm clouds of another recession and a crippling debt crisis circling overhead and dampening investor appetite for risk.
Major averages again sold off into the close, capping a week in which the market lost more than 4 percent and prepared for the worst that could lie ahead. Washington leaders failed to reach an agreement on raising the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling, setting the table for more troubles when the market reopens next week.
Stocks made a series of pushes toward breakeven, and the Nasdaq tech gauge turned mildly positive again heading into the final two hours of trading. Financials were the market's best performer while utilities were the biggest weight.
Hopes lingered for an 11th-hour deal to raise the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling and avoid what Obama administration officials describe as potential catastrophe.
Another round of strong earningsfailed to assuage investors worried over the country's direction.
"Dangerous, absolutely dangerous," is how Keith Springer, president of Springer Investment Advisory in Sacramento, Calif., described the state of markets. "The problem is the market reacts to two things, greed and fear. Right now there's no greed, in the air, it's all fear."
The stock market came off severe morning lows on rumors of some halting progress in Washington on getting a debt ceiling deal hammered out.
Hopes for a debt deal were precarious as lawmakers held dueling news conferences and TV interviews suggesting that an agreement remained elusive. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Democrats would not agree to a short-term deal.
Winners on the Dow 30 were hard to find, with Travelers and Alcoa turning positive. Merck was the worst performer, as earnings met analyst estimatesbut the company announced substantial job cuts ahead.
While the Washington debt impasse generated some its share of ill will, the government's first reading on economic growth also hammered sentiment.
Gross domestic product for the second quarter came in at an anemic 1.3 percent, worse than the 1.8 percent expectation and likely to raise fears of a double-dip ahead. Moreover, the first quarter's already-weak reading of 1.9 percent was revised to a paltry 0.4 percent, suggesting an economy nearing a double dip despite trillions in liquidity from the Federal Reserve and government stimulus.
That added to an already pessimistic feeling after House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner failed to rally enough support for his plan to raise the debt ceiling before Tuesday's deadline.
President Obama addressed the nation later in the morning, declaring the Boehner plan dead on arrival and encouraging citizens to pressure their lawmakersto get a deal done. The markets reacted little to the president's speech.
Reflecting the fear overall, gold prices surged to a record close at $1,629 an ounce while prices of Treasurys also were sharply higher, sending the 30-year bond price up close to 2 points and the benchmark 10-year yield down to 2.83 percent.
The CBOE Volatility Index again ramped up, pushing past 25, where it has not been since mid-March.
"The short-term volatility is going to be with us unfortunately," Kevin Karon, strategist at Stifel Nicolaus in Baltimore, said on CNBC. "Unfortunately we're going to be dependent on the news over the weekend."
In other economic news, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment reading came in at 63.7, near consensus, while the Chicago Purchase Managers Index read 58.8, a bit lower than expected.
In earnings, Chevron said it earned $3.85 a share, against expectations of $3.56, though revenue was a bit below estimates, sending shares slightly lower.
Elsewhere, Arch Coal posted earnings of 44 cents per share, well below Reuters estimates of 60 cents, sending shares down nearly 7 percent.
Amgen recorded a profit of $1.37 a share, beating estimates of $1.28, and its shares rose.
In deal news, Allied Healthcare Shares exploded 57 percent on news that it would be purchased by Saga Group for $3.90 a share.

For my torch tips I usually replace the filter with a new one and the flame will be as good as gold
How do you guys clean these out? I've got a bunch of them that either have a horrible flame or spew black gunk all over. I finally ran out of extra tips and it's now either clean em up or buy new ones. I know you can remove part of the bottom with an allen key but where do you go from there? Soak it in diesel, tiny wire brush, etc?
For my torch tips I usually replace the filter with a new one and the flame will be as good as gold
I usually soak them in gasoline
How do you change a filter on one of those ????
Usually when all else fails I heat up the tip with another
torch and that will clean out all the debris and solder balls that get
inside one of them....
I never knew that their was even a filter that could be changed
Filters are on the bottom tof the tips. They come out with an allen wrench.
A tip that has hardened solder in it might require heating up to make it flow out.
Tip #57: don't lose the orifice when you take it out to clean it.

2 GB RAM DDR-667, actually.
Uoooo, Neato, I want one... I think...
Pre-installed 2GB of DDR2 800 with a capacity of 4GB. Lean on memory capacity.
Darn so close to a nice little htpc. Anyone know of something similar to this but DDR3 up to 8GB?
Since when does a HTPC need 8GB?
holding out for a better zotac... you need 500gb and 4gb ram these days
Most say 4GB is plenty for a HTPC but at this price it seems like the specifications would warrant "up to 8GB of DDR3". Another $100 for an OS and then you may have to upgrade to 4GB of expensive outdated DDR2 makes me say no deal. I guess a small laptop would do the job nicely but the inexpensive ones don't come with blu-ray.

Hatsan Vortex gas piston technology is developed and manufactured by Hatsan to be specifically used in most Hatsan break barrel and under lever airguns. Vortex gas pistons utilize regular air instead of any other type of gas. Gas piston power provides a smoother and quieter shooting experience, so you can forget about the grinding noise a spring powered gun can make. Cocking a vortex gas piston is also much smoother than a spring piston. The life of your Striker 1000X Vortex air rifle with cycle past your other springers, since you won't have to worry about spring fatigue or many moving parts. The Hatsan Striker 1000X Vortex air rifle features an all wood stock with a Montecarlo cheeckpiece. The handsome look of this air rifle only compliments the unique features provided by Hatsan.

a national leader on stormwater?
Late in 2011 the District of Columbia and Environmental Protection Agency representatives proclaimed the release of a new stormwater management permit that could significantly reduce the pollution flowing from storm drains into the creeks and rivers of the nation's capital. The new permit calls for retaining the first 1.2 inches of rainfall on properties in the District. When enforced, this new standard will reduce the poison runoff that flows from streets, parking lots and other paved surfaces. The permit provides incentives for solutions and environmental design standards that help capture rain water, such as trees, rain gardens and other landscape that soaks in water.
The Anacostia is one of the ten most polluted rivers in the nation. For too long we have accepted that a polluted Anacostia has to be a reality for the District. However, under pressure from the EPA, the District Department of the Environment (DDOE) is finally dealing with the six most toxic sites along the Anacostia, one of which is Pepco's Benning Road power plant. On February 2, 2011, DDOE announced that it had reached a "consent decree" with Pepco that it believes will address the legacy of pollution at Benning Road (to learn more click here). The proposal is promising, as there have been six documented releases of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from the site over the years. PCBS are known cuase developmental problems and are carcinogenic in humans and wildlife, for example two-third of all brown bull-head catfish (pictured above) in the Anacostia have tumors.
Tell the president to stop power plant water pollution today!
In 1983, 1987 and 2000, Maryland Governors and their counterparts in Virginia, the District of Columbia and other jurisdictions in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed signed formal agreements that set timelines for cleaning up the Bay. The most recent agreement called for deadlines that were to be met by 2010. That deadline will not be met. Clean Water Action supported the strongest possible version of this latest agreement, understanding that we would continue fighting for the enforcement of the Clean Water Act as the likeliest means restoring the Bay.

A group of lawmakers will take a second look at a controversial bill to impose a $5 surcharge on homeowners and vehicle insurance policies, raising about $23 million annually for police and fire pensions.
The Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement tabled the proposal last week after members from both sides of the aisle raised concerns.
Rep. Mike Benson, R-Rochester, said he opposes the bill for a number of reasons, including the fact that another bill -- which the commission approved last week -- makes a number of changes that are expected to return the police and fire pensions to a healthier state within the next two decades.
"We need to hold the line. I don't think there's a need for the surcharge," Benson said.
Benson said he received complaints about the proposal from people all over the state.
Even if the commission green-lights it at its meeting Tuesday, March 12, the bill, sponsored by Rep. Joe Atkins, DFL-Inver Grove Heights, would also need approval by several other committees in each chamber, then by the full Legislature as part of an overall pension omnibus bill.
The surcharge is expected to raise about $10.6 million for the Public Employees Retirement Association police and fire fund, $5.5 million for the more than 700 local volunteer firefighter relief associations, $1 million for the Minnesota State Retirement System state patrol plan and $5.8 million for cities, counties and the state to help pay their share of pension contributions.
At last week's meeting, the pension commission approved an amendment that sunsets the surcharge when all of the affected pension plans reach a 90 percent funded level.
Brian Rice, a lawyer representing several police and fire unions, said this bill is "fair" because it's continuing a long-standing practice of funding police and fire pensions from insurance taxes. Those taxes have dropped by about $30 million in recent years, and the surcharge is intended to make up that shortfall.
That shortfall has resulted in increased property tax bills in some cities and reduced benefits for volunteer firefighters in other places, Rice said.
The roughly 700 volunteer firefighter relief associations statewide rely almost exclusively on state aid from a 1 percent tax on the fire portion of homeowner insurance premiums, which has been in place since 1885. Rice said that about one-quarter of the relief associations now also get additional funds from city coffers.
At last week's meeting, Rep. Phyllis Kahn, DFL-Minneapolis, expressed concerns about giving additional money to the volunteer firefighter associations because the majority of them handle their own investments instead of using the State Board of Investment, sometimes resulting in lower investment returns.
Kahn plans to offer an amendment encouraging them to switch and requiring them to provide annual investment return rate information to the pension commission.
George Winiecki, owner of Win Insurance in St. Paul and one of several insurance industry representatives who testified against the proposal last week, said he'll be back again Tuesday but this time as a taxpayer.
"People are really mad about this thing," Winiecki said.
Winiecki said public employees continue to get pension guarantees even when the market fails and others are taking a hit to their own retirement savings.

Well, I've caught my first cold of the season and it's a whopper! Snuffed nose, sore throat, and my head feels like a balloon. Of course, this comes on a day when a special little person in my life is celebrating their birthday, so it looks like I'll be drinking lots of tea to make it through the celebrations.
Despite feeling ill and having a party on hand (don't worry, it's only the family party today, so I'm not spreading germs), I've still managed to pop up a job list for you. I hope it has the opportunity you're looking for!
Have a wonderful day!

TELLURIDE – As local businesses scramble to remain profitable, real estate sales remain flat and wallets tighten, The New Community Coalition has organized a Green Business Roundtable, a forum that encourages discussion, networking and education, beginning Friday, Feb. 5.
This and subsequent roundtables, tentatively scheduled for the first Friday of every month, 8:30-9:30 a.m., at Wilkinson Library, are free and open to the public. Topics relating to Telluride's unique economy, environment and community will be covered and business owners and interested individuals are encouraged to attend.
"We will bring ideas to the business community that might be helpful to them in terms of greening their business," said Colleen Trout, education and finance coordinator at TNCC.
The Green Business Roundtable will draw upon the success of Durango's Green Business Roundtable; the brainchild of Durango's Kent Ford, it has been running successfully for seven years.
Ford will speak at the first Telluride roundtable, on Feb. 5, about the strengths of the Durango program and how it can be tailored to Telluride.
"I think in Durango we've done really well," said Ford. "Everyone has stepped up and rallied behind what they can be doing better."
Durango's roundtable program has covered multiple topics: green building, job creation, energy audits and land usage, to name a few. The program does more than educate; it provides green-business networking, inspiration and a casual environment for discussion.
"We are gradually retraining society to do a bit more of the right thing," said Ford.
Telluride's program will follow the basic structure of Durango's Green Business Roundtable, but will be adapted to Telluride's unique business community and economic situation.
To that end, surveys are available at TNCC and the library to garner feedback and expectations for subsequent discussions.
"We can certainly tailor it to our community's needs, and we'll learn as we go along what topics people are interested in," said Trout.
The roundtables have no set agenda, to which end TNCC welcomes public input and encourages attendees to utilize them for education and assistance. Based on survey feedback, TNCC will schedule local and national speakers to speak at the following roundtables.
"We're really trying to create an education program that helps [our businesses]," said Trout.
The library will provide breakfast for the Feb. 5 meeting, after which Trout hopes to attract sponsors as the program gets underway.
"I have no idea what to expect but we would be psyched to get 25 to 35 people for the first one," she said. "We're really excited about it! I feel like this is going to be one of our better programs for the community."
For more information, or to take part in the survey, contact TNCC at email@example.com or 970/728-1340.

FujiFilm's FinePix S8000fd is an appealing "Ultra-Zoom" digicam. This is a very capable consumer model, with some very nice features (8M, 18x Wide Zoom, Face Detection, etc.), good overall performance, and plenty of shooting modes for every member of your household.
Image quality is up to par with it competitors (Canon S5 IS, Panasonic DMC-FZ18, Olympus SP-560 UZ) and with a street price of US $350 or less (US$399 MSRP), it offers a terrific value for a camera in this class. The only other issue I had with the camera that's not mentioned above, was the fact that the camera will allow you to snap a photo while you are waiting for the flash to recharge. In most cases, this just produces a blurry photo that is unusable. That said, I still feel the Finepix S8000fd will make a great choice for any consumer in the market for a camera with these specs, and it's sure to be a popular model this holiday season.

text: As promised - okay, I didn't promise - there are two new charts starting this week labeled "Adjusted SOS". The adjustment is basically backing out every team's record from their respective opponent wins/losses. For example, Green Bay's weak Strength of Schedule ranking is partially due to their undefeated record; the adjusted chart takes their undefeated record out of the equation.

Documents from criminal cases will be available to the public on the internet in 2007
The Korea Times
Monday, March 14, 2005
By Bae Keun-min
People will no longer have to visit police stations, prosecutors' offices, courthouses and penitentiaries to get legal documents on criminal cases as an online database will be set up in 2007.
A government reform committee on Monday announced a plan for an online network for criminal case processing from petition filing, crime investigation and trials to sentence execution, making the information available at the simple click of a mouse.
According to the Presidential Committee on Government Innovation and Decentralization, the online system will also take care of all civil affair administration works, including fine payment, issuance of legal documents and petition filings.
Law enforcement and judicial authorities will also use the network to carry out procedures such as evidence collection, application and issuance of arrest warrants, prosecution and delivery of sentences, the committee said.
The committee began preparing for the system last August and launched a joint task force last month to map out a master plan in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice, police, prosecution and courts.
The task force will finish the master plan by July, which will aim at preparing a foundation for the joint system of the four national bodies by November 2006.
In addition, the system will be expanded through embracing other special investigation bodies such as the National Tax Service and the Korea Customs Service by November 2007.
The electric network will mean a complete change in penal procedures, removing the need for people to visit the police station, prosecutors' office and courts to obtain documents and check on the development of a case. People can simply log onto a Web site to deal with their matters, a commission official said.
Removing papers for the investigation and sentence, the system will introduce ``e-prosecution'' and ``e-court''. The new system will expand the audio video recording of investigations, the committee said.
The system is also expected to reduce costs and cut down on information processing.
The task force will form a consultation commission, where scholars and officials from non-governmental organizations will participate.
It will also amend related laws to establish the legal foundation to upload such documents over the server.

J.R. Writer – GOAT Lyrics
[Verse 1 - J.R. Writer]
I'm the greatest of all timeNigga, ask around -- I've been great for a long time
On grind, I be amazing, I'm off mines
You ain't gotta pass the crown, I'm taking what's all mines
Who don't shine? My wristwatch make the chicks hotA lil' head in the car -- that's a whip-wopThen tell her kick rocks, thinking she gon' get guap
Ain't got enough for the train, I tell the bitch, hopThis is real hip-hop, what the kid drop
You couldn't slow the dog down at a pit stop
I play like 'Melo, but I keep a big shotShoot you while you pushing your work -- that's a sling shotI'm already king, I've chin-checked the ring
You waiting on the right pitch, you don't never swingMask, black gloves, all-black everything
Black Mag, black snub, floormat, everythingYou'll respect me then, would you, shouldn't you
I'm sick of you niggas talking on what you wouldn't do
I mean, look at you -- I make it hard to look at you
Come through and shake the whole block down -- I'm shook of who?I'm live-er than that, hotter than that
I leave the whole strip red, no Prada to match
I body a track, bottle the crack
These niggas act like I woke up and forgot how to rap
I'm back
[Verse 2 - Cassidy]
Hi haters; I keep getting high, haters
I'm grown, no chaser, I'm high as a skyscraper
Homes, you at home with your mom -- I own acres
I own so much land, man, I'm my own neighbor
You a beggar; you need a loan, a favor
I get cash, you just mad, you got the vaporsA lot of niggas wish they was Cas, but can't be me
My diamonds probably make you go blind, you can't see me
Cause my diamonds shining like the finger on E.TYou on a bus, I'm in a truck with three TV's
I dropped three CD's, but I'm just getting startedMy new album coming out -- it's 'bout to get retardedShit! Pardon my French, motherfuckerBut I'm hustling, got it jumping like Vince, motherfuckerYeah, the boy in the zone
About to show his ass like the artist formerly known as Prince, motherfuckerAnd I'm about to convince motherfuckers
That I got more bars than AT&T and them Sprint motherfuckers
Go ahead with that nonsense, motherfucker
Cause you said you make it rain but can't even make it rinse, motherfucker
You never fought a homicide or attempts, motherfuckerYou jokes could get smoked like incense, motherfucker
Gee I'm hung, but I ain't get lynched, motherfucker
That's why I walk with a limp, motherfucker
I'm a pimp, motherfucker

Is a Phase 1 Trial Right for Me?
Because they are the first step in testing new drugs in humans, Phase 1 clinical trials only enroll a small number of patients. In Phase 1, investigators are trying to determine the most effective dosage, monitor any possible side effects that may occur and observe patient response to the drug.
In most cases, patients eligible for Phase 1 trials have advanced cancer that has not responded to standard treatments, or their cancer has come back. They may also have a type of cancer for which no standard therapy is currently available.
Eligibility criteria varies from study to study. Specific conditions for a particular study will be discussed with you by the study physician or authorized medical staff.
Here are some things to consider before joining a Phase 1 clinical trial:
- Has your oncologist told you there are no more standard cancer treatment options for you?
- Are you able to travel to Houston, Texas on a regular basis?
- Are you out of bed at least 50% of the day?
If you think you are eligible for a Phase 1 clinical trial and are interested in participating in one, contact our Patient Access Services at 713-792-1160 for an appointment.
Request an Appointment
- Call Yolanda Villanueva at 713-792-1160

955 N Riverside Dr, Clarksville, TN | Directions 3704036.539482 -87.366040
M-F 8am - 5pm
I have been living in Clarksville for almost 24 years and had previously purchased vehicles from other dealers that were new and used. My wife and I met Tony Knight when he opened his dealership and we purchased a car from him. We were really treated well and they really have great customer service. We really felt that he was honest and believed in taking care of his customers and standing behind the vehicles he sells. Since we first went there, my wife and I have purchased 6 vehicles from him. The dealership also services all of the vehicles that we have purchased from him and I will not let any other place work on them.

What Have We Been Up To?
- The Alter EU Coalition, of which Food & Water Europe is a member, has sent a letter to the European Commission asking it to set up new rules to prevent the current crop of Commissioners from going through the revolving door to the corporate sector in 2014.
Food & Water Europe together with 140 organisations have made a firm stand rejecting biodiversity offsetting at the World Forum on Natural Capital.
Together with around 140 other organizations, Food & Water Europe is denouncing the climate capture at COP 19, demanding an end to the corporate takeover and expansion of carbon markets now.
- Together with 30 German groups opposed to fracking, Food & Water Europe calls on the negotiators to include a ban on fracking in the next CDU-SPD coalition agreement.
- From October 7 through 11, we attended the Budapest Water Summit as a fact-finding initiative to further our understanding about corporate influence within the global water policy agenda. Here are our observations.
- Five years after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, and the beginning of the worst economic crisis in decades, the EU has not delivered on promises of strong regulation of the financial sector. A swift overhaul is needed. Together with other organisations, Food & Water Europe has signed
this statement.
- Food & Water Europe with more than 100 other organisations has sent an open letter to EU decision makers demanding a reform of the EU Biofuels policy
- EU leaders met on May 22 to discuss how to lower energy prices and 'improve' European industrial competitiveness. However, a coalition of climate justice groups warns that under the rhetoric of boosting growth, productivity and employment, lays the intention of furthering fossil fuel extraction including shale gas.
- On the eve of the European Parliament vote on the European Commission's Proposal to backload 900 million emissions permits within the EP Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), Food & Water Europe has released a report on the myths behind ETS reform. We argue that keeping this failed system in place would further delay real action for reducing emissions in Europe.
- On the occasion of the World Water Week 2013 and the year of International Cooperation in Water, Food & Water Europe is organizing an event on "Reclaiming the Right to Water in Europe: Citizens Participation, Democracy & Commons taking place in the European Parliament.
A growing group of civil society organisations is calling on the EU to abolish its Emission Trading System (ETS) to open space for truly effective climate policies. Food & Water Europe is part of the Scrap ETS Campaign which sent this contribution to the European Commission's public consultation on structural options to strengthen the EU ETS.
Food & Water Europe sent a letter to all Spanish MEPs urging them to protect public water and ask for a vote in plenary on the concessions directive instead of going straight to premature negotiations with the Council.
- Food & Water Europe responded to a consultation by the European Commission about the development of unconventional fossil fuels in Europe. We made it clear that that the risks and negative impacts associated with large-scale shale gas development far outweigh any potential benefits. We reiterate our position that hydraulic fracturing should be banned and that the development of unconventional gas is incompatible with an accelerated transition to a low-carbon economy.
- Food & Water Europe together with a group of organizations from the network fighting against the financialization of nature sent the European Commission questions concerning its stance on the Green Economy in the context of a public consultation on the EU's post Rio+20 goals. Read the letter and the questions.

'The choir of Westminster Cathedral has long been noted for its distinctive Continental-style tone, which gives its performances of Latin sacred polyphony an attractively distinctive quality. This magnificent recording, which shows off Victoria's mastery of the art of writing music for up to three choirs in the grandest possible manner, suggests that 2004 is a vintage year for them … recordings of Renaissance polyphony rarely come much better than this' (Daily Telegraph)
'It is ideally suited to the full-throated, vibrant singing of the Westminster Cathedral Choir, while Martin Baker's finely controlled direction displays a keen architectural sense … A wonderful disc' (Goldberg Early Music Magazine)
'the choir is radiant in its home acoustic, and Martin Baker's well-researched decision to employ an understated organ 'continuo' adds small but telling touches of colour to the texture' (International Record Review)
Westminster Cathedral continue their survey of the music of Tomás Luis de Victoria—begun in triumphant style with a Gramophone Award-winning disc of the Missa O quam gloriosum—with this new recording of the Missa Ave regina caelorum, an opulent double-choir setting based on Victoria's two eponymous motets.
Also included are a four-voice Magnificat, two Ave Maria settings (for four and eight voices), the double-choir Ave regina caelorum, and five Vesper Psalms, all composed for double-choir as if to underline their significance in the liturgy. The performances do full justice to the ambition of Victoria's intentions, as Martin Baker firmly cements his position as worthy successor to the glories achieved by this choir under James O'Donnell and, before him, David Hill.

Assessor's 'free' advice? Don't pay for those county records10:00 am | May 2, 2013
A local official is cautioning residents about a letter circulating in Carter County that could lead residents to spend money unnecessarily.
Ronnie Taylor, the county's tax assessor, said several county residents have contacted his office about a company that offers to retrieve property records for a one-time fee.
"We've been getting taxpayers and property owners coming in about this," Taylor said. "They're charging these people $89 for a copy of their deed and their records."
What some residents may be unaware of, however, is that this information is available at the county courthouse … for free.
"They're paying for this information when they don't have to," Taylor said. "If they need anything like that, they can get it from the assessor's office or the register of deeds."

The Left will have a million excuses not to focus on "entertainment"--high impact video games, TV, movies, music--as inciting such violence, planting the idea in vulnerable minds, desensitizing, and providing practice in killing, but that is what it does and makes a handy profit in doing so.Bring up how things were in the stuffy, rigid, old-fashioned, "bad" old days, when a bad kid didn't already do drugs, be a "baby daddy," and perhaps have a rap sheet before high school graduation—if he graduates at all and is literate, and they say that such crime and massacre as we have today was always there, just underreported. Say that such as this shooter should have, perhaps would have been locked away in the old days, and they start screaming about us being too "judgmental," and about individual rights, and about how, until he has actually killed somebody, we can never really know if he will do so and is actually dangerous.But, we know that such massacres as this and the general ramping up of the viciousness and depravity of today's violence can and should be laid at the door of today's Progressives/Liberals, the "liberated" no holds barred entertainment they have brought us, and the transformations they have wrought in society.

Arizona and Colorado both death with their seriously mentally deranged students by kicking them out of school.There, problem solved.

The media lobby insists that their violent products have no behavioral impact, yet demand millions for a 30-second Super Bowl spot. Yes, these killers had mental issues and vulnerabilities, but they were programmed by the MSM. When the media lobbyists argue against that - they lie.

Didn´t realize until I read this that I´ve been suffering from kayak angst. The most frightening thing about the movie "Natural Born Killers" was seeing Rodney Dangerfield in his underwear. Have no answers for what´s going on. There is more violence in a Roadrunner cartoon than most movies. There have always been plenty of guns. Something else is going on and I don´t know what it is.

I have a schizophrenic sibling. When she was 26 my parents had her committed to a psyche ward in a hospital for 6 months and then to a residential program for another 6 months. It took a couple of weeks, a willing judge and a lot of money to get the court order. It CAN be done.From the looks of Nancy Lanza´s home and property I´d say she had the finances to get it done. Why she didn´t will be a mystery pondered by all of us for a long time.

There is way too much violence and guns being glorified on TV, movies, video games and some "music" videos. Dragnet, Adam 12 , Streets of san francisco, mod squad...never has this much violence in them and they always had a little humanity in them even. Today these cop shows are demoralizing, mean spirited, dark and depressing. I´m also pro 2nd amendment.

Violence sells. Violence plus sex plus dirty language is a sure fire formula for success if it is represented skillfully in a narrative that somehow succeeds in rationalizing and justifying it. The excuses the creators and consumers of such material put forth to defend it are as varied and creative as the apologists can make them.There is more to it than meets the eye. I recall many futile debates with people in other forums about the wildly popular Sopranos TV series. My position was, and remains, that it is not a good idea to construct popular entertainment that humanizes and rationalizes mobsters. No one doubts they are human. But when the effect of such entertainment includes the widespread use of "whacking people" in everyday discourse, something worrisome is going on. Even the fastidious calorie and gun restricting Mayor Mike Bloomberg joked in public about "whacking" someone.I found myself in a distinct minority in my criticism of the Sopranos. Didn´t I know how skillfully the characters were drawn, how superb the artistic quality was? I couldn´t say that I did, for I had never watched an episode. I wouldn´t watch a series about The Goebbels or an Al-Qaeda family. The more skillfully it was done, the less I would want to expose myself to it.

Furlongs Founder and Creator – I'm Tommy Walters.....I was in an 18 month lawsuit and recently was awarded my name "FURLONGS" back for my restaurants.....I have not been in my restaurants since November 2008......I will be putting Furlongs in other locations as my previous partner changes the name of his location.......I truly apologize for any misfortune during these past 23 months and hope you come dine with me as my guest when we do reopen.......
Tommy Walters
Highly over-priced and poor service – I have never paid more for less food in Lexington. My $21.95 Oyster dish had 4 small oysters in it and although it tasted great, I felt totally ripped off. The extensive wine list was impressive and at half off a bargain, but the food for the 3 of us was all 1/3 portion sizes for the prices.
The Service was slow and inattentive. We won't be back
terrible service.... – We went there on Friday and got to Furlongs a little before our reservation so we went to the bar for a drink. The bartender was very rude and actually threw the menus on the table. He was complaining very loudly to everyone in the bar and was making rude comments about women. When we went to our table, the hostess tried to seat us at the table that was so close to the hostess station that we could sit there and touch the podium. Being that there were only 2 tables that had people at them in the restaurant, we asked for a different table. The hostess rudely responded, "well, ugh, what table do you want then?" After being seated, our waiter was ok but was too busy flirting with the hostess to refill drinks, take an order or ask if we needed anything. When he brought us the check, it was incorrect. To his credit, he caught the error and brought a new check before we asked for it. However, it took 20 minutes for this to happen. Definitely will not EVER go back here.

The story of John Deere , blacksmith and inventor, closely parallels the settlement and development of the Midwestern United States, an area that 19th century homesteaders considered the golden land of promise. Since 1837, the full story of John Deere the company is one of people, places and products that reflect our core values of integrity, quality, commitment and innovation.
1837 John Deere fashions a polished-steel plow in his Grand Detour, Illinois, blacksmith shop that lets pioneer farmers cut clean furrows through sticky Midwest prairie soil.
1873 The Panic of 1873, triggered by failure of a New York banking house, begins the depression of the 1870s. John Deere is elected mayor of Moline and serves two years.
1903 George Mixter, plow-factory superintendent, persuades the company to install extensive environmental controls in the grinding room.
1930 Consolidations leave only seven full-line farm equipment companies: John Deere, IH, Case, Oliver, Allis-Chalmers, Minneapolis-Moline, and Massey-Harris. Deere and IH dominate most product categories.
1961 A new tractor and implement manufacturing plan nears completion in Rosario, Argentina. In Saran, near Orleans, France, construction starts on a new engine factory. In Moline, construction begins on the Deere & Company Administrative Center.
1990 Hans W. Becherer, president since 1987 and CEO since 1989, is elected chairman upon the retirement of Robert Hanson.
