The conservative wing of the U.S. Supreme Court has again preempted state laws designed to protect American consumers. In yet another ruling that favors large corporations at the expense of working-class families, the Supreme Court held last week that state laws cannot override "unfair" arbitration provisions. The decision, AT&T v. Concepcion [1], will have devastating implications for millions of consumers because it unilaterally favors clauses imposed by corporations where consumers do not have a say. It preempts laws from about half of states [2] that limit unjust arbitration clauses. As experts have already noted, this ruling is the "biggest ever" [2] on class action suits.
This decision is another blow to people who want to collectively address a problem, and to states who want to find a fruitful way of addressing issues that are potentially unfair to the average consumer.
The lawsuit was originally filed by a California couple, the Concepcions, who sued a cell phone provider that charged them $30.22 in sales tax on a cell phone that was advertised as being free. The couple alleged that such a fee constituted false advertisement for working-class consumers like them; hence, they intended to enter into a class action suit to call attention to this egregious abuse, rather than submitting to a single arbitration proceeding. They based their complaint on a California law that prohibits contracts containing unconscionable clauses, enacted to prevent any fraud that leaves one contractual party on an unequal footing from the other. While state and federal courts agreed with the plaintiffs' contention, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered that the state law contravenes the purposes of expediency behind the Federal Arbitration Act of 1925 (FAA).
Writing for the majority, Justice Antonin Scalia held that the California law stood as an obstacle to the accomplishment and execution of the intent of Congress when it enacted the FAA, which was to streamline arbitration proceedings because they are faster and cheaper. The minority, led by Justice Stephen G. Breyer, pointed to FAA's §2 [3] establishing that an arbitration agreement "shall be valid, irrevocable, and enforceable, save upon such grounds as exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract." In his dissenting opinion, Justice Breyer insisted that the California law does not reject arbitration clauses altogether, but, consistent with the FAA, puts a stop to arbitration clauses that are unconscionable. Banning class action, said Justice Breyer, would prevent lawyers from representing small claims. For low-income and minority households, class action suits are often the only remedy at hand.
The decision not only applies to cell phone users, but to anyone who purchases a computer, a car, opens a bank account, or subscribes to a cable TV service. Moreover, as an article in the Los Angeles Times [2] points out, "many employers include the same kind of fine print for new hires, blocking class-action suits for employees with discrimination or wage complaints." In other words, this ruling is not only a setback for consumers, but also for workers, many of whom face the same hurdles when filing class action suits.
Both consumers and employees often file class action suits, not for financial gain, but to call into attention the repetitive abuses that a particular defendant makes to a class of citizens. With this decision, companies can simply add an arbitration exclusivity clause to a contract in order to take away the right to litigate a wrong. This decision is a roadblock for the millions of Americans and the states that seek to protect them. Preempting progressive state policies, as Progressive States Network [4] has explained before, deters on-the-ground solutions to emerging problems and issues. It is time that conservatives in every branch of the government stop putting the interests of working families on the back burner.

text: After posting my thoughts in the "what sparked your interest in 2 channel" I thought I'd ask this question. I grew up with a pair of 901's in the late 70's and really loved them. I forget how much power the Rotel receiver had but it was plenty. I have read where the 901's are not well respected these days and wonder how they compare to the vintage Polk's. Also, do any of you guys/gals listen to the 901's regardless of the series?

This inspired a festival so epic, it kicked off an annual 16-day tradition that survives to this day named Oktoberfest.

New search engine delivers content matched to ability
|Dr. Philip Kovacs, left, and Dr. Ryan Weber are the UAH developers of Complexity Engine.
Michael Mercier | UAH
"We just have a host of features we want to roll out with Complexity Engine and that's why winning the Launchpad competition is essential," says developer Dr. Philip Kovacs, an associate professor of education who conceived the system and is collaborating with Dr. Ryan Weber, an assistant professor of English, to develop it. Tripp Roberts, a Georgia Institute of Technology computer science junior, collaborates to produce the necessary software.
Complexity Engine uses a sophisticated algorithm to search websites for content and delivers free, customized and age-appropriate reading materials to a user's computer. It promises to give teachers, parents and students an efficient, affordable way to promote reading. Teachers and administrators can set parameters for the search results, and the reading experience can be either student self-directed or guided by the teacher.
"What we're developing is a way to get through the nonsense and junk online and get to the learning material," says Dr. Kovacs. Complexity Engine is currently in testing with 500 gifted fifth and sixth grade students at a mid-sized regional school system.
"The reason the school system wanted to use it is because they have a hard time finding challenging material for their gifted students," Dr. Kovacs says. "The second issue with this group of students is that if you go and search the web for 'submarine,' you will get thousands of results that are all over the place compared to what you want to find. With our search engine, you will get around 150 results that are more closely about what you were searching for."
Teachers and administrators get feedback from the program about a student's reading material. The reading comprehension level of each file retrieved is scored. "That score is composed using a variety of reliable measures of reading score," Dr. Weber says. Over time, the teacher can assess a student's reading progress from that information.
The idea for Complexity Engine arose four years ago, when Dr. Kovacs was studying ninth-grade at-risk students who were reading at a second through sixth grade level. Rather than conventional schooling, students in the study picked their own topics of interest and researched them on the web. They made class presentations on those topics during the year.
The study found that in a control group of students reading comprehension increased 11 percent, but in the experimental group, it zoomed 59 percent.
"We know that reading is fundamental to the educational development of students because lots of studies have shown that to be true," says Dr. Kovacs. "So then you ask, how do you make the Internet so that teachers can provide the right level of materials for a student's reading level for free?"
Dr. Philip Kovacs
Its developers see Complexity Engine as a replacement for textbooks that offers a less regimented, more varied and interest-driven educational model to students.
"The information a student gets is no longer generic, like it is from a textbook," says Dr. Weber. "The individual students can search for reading material that matches their interests, so they can be more self-motivated readers."
Motivation is a major reason students drop out of high school, Dr. Kovacs says. "Many students who leave school don't do it because they can't do the work. They do it because they are not challenged by it and they are not motivated to learn. They get bored."
During the earlier study, researchers found that behavioral problems dropped and parents who had never attended parent-teacher conferences began attending to compliment the teachers.
"My favorite student compliment we used to get was, 'I love your class because we don't have to work,'" says Dr. Kovacs. "Of course everyone was working very hard, but it seemed to them like it wasn't work because they were engaged."
Complexity Engine works toward the same ends.
"We are creating the circumstances for motivation to appear," says Dr. Kovacs, citing autonomy, a sense of purpose and a sense of mastery as essential to creating conditions for motivation to manifest. "A lot of kids who are really smart learn to hate school. How can we as teachers show them how to learn a thousand times better?"
The pair found plenty of help on campus for their project, says Dr. Weber, who cites the roles of Director Kannan Grant and Research Program Coordinator Becky England of the Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC), as well as Dr. John Whitman, visiting assistant professor of management at the UAH College of Business Administration.
"We could not have done this without all the intellectual support and the resources that are available to us on the campus," says Dr. Kovacs. "Alabama Launchpad has also been a tremendous resource in helping us to refine our idea and concept."

|Tanner, Sprinters Dominate Thursday
FAIRFAX, Virginia - Led by all-conference efforts from Joe Gallene and C.J. Fiala, UNCW scored 71 points in the men's 50 Freestyle championship race while Carly Tanner won her second consecutive women's 50 Freestyle title to highlight the Seahawk effort on Thursday at the McKay Natatorium.
In the 50 Free, Gallene (19.87 seconds) and Fiala (19.98) placed second and third, respectively, to earn All-CAA honors. Nick Lowe, Michael Williams and Gabe Thran placed fifth, sixth and eighth, respectively, to close out UNCW's dominant effort in the event.
"Tonight was a good night for us," said UNCW Head Coach Dave Allen. "We knew we were shallow in some events, but those kids came through and gave us valuable points. Those points combined with our efforts in the 50 Free made for a big night."
Tanner, who also set a school record in the 50 Free as part of the 200 Free Relay later in the meet (22.45), posted a time of 22.79 seconds in winning the event for the second straight year. Her win also marked UNCW's fourth consecutive championship in that race. Joining Tanner in the finals were Rachel Sears and Chelsea Tomko, who placed seventh and eighth, respectively.
In the men's 200 IM, senior Ray McGorry set a new school standard with a third-place time of 1:48.56. Junior Michael Baric added a fourth-place finish in the event.
In the men's 1-meter dive, Chase Seymour (242.75 points) gave UNCW 11 valuable points with an eighth-place finish in the championship finals.
"Getting those 11 points tonight from Chase are going to really help us as we enter the next finals sessions."
In the session's final event, UNCW's women's 200 Free Relay placed second as Tanner, Hannah Stephenson, Tomko and Sears posted a time of 1:32.03.
The men's team added another meet and school record in the 200 Free Relay with a time of 1:19.08. Fiala, Stephen Conrad, Lowe and Gallene combined on the record-setting outing for the Seahawks. For UNCW, it was their fifth straight 200 Free Relay and the 13th in the last 14 CAA championship events.
The meet continues on Friday with the preliminaries at 10 a.m., followed by the finals at 6 p.m. The finals session will be video streamed and viewed for free at CAA.tv.

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences?
When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50.
And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.

The British government has begun to push plans to build huge municipal solid waste to energy incinerators in most major cities under the guise of 'recycling' facilities.
In 1993 the Secretary of State for the Environment, John Gummer, and the Department of Trade and Industry Minister responsible for environmental issues, Patrick McLoughlin, invited the packaging industries of ther United Kingdom to produce a plan for recovering between 50% and 75% of all packaging waste 'their' industries create by the year 2000. The governments main objective appeared to be the "polluter pays" principle under which those who make and sell products (and the packaging around them) would take some responsibility for making productive use of them once they had served their original purpose.
Our current electricity system cannot accept much wind and solar power because they lack the 'inertia' of spinning turbines that stabilises grid voltage, writes Marek Kubik. But that's no reason to limit renewables - there are new, smart solutions ready for deployment.
"The findings further demonstrate that additional work is needed to better understand the short- and long-term toxicity implications of this contaminated water," Whelton said.

Blogger Jason Price recounts the ups and downs of his backyard chicken rearing adventure.
In The Energy Basis of Food Security I note how tightly linked food prices are to energy prices, pointing out that the primary reason for this link is that food production is incredibly energy intensive. A series of recent posts have explored the energy intensity of different modes of food transport within food systems, and these have attracted a fair amount of attention. This doesn't surprise me as many in the local food movement value highly the fuel savings attributed – sometimes falsely – to reducing the number of 'food miles' associated with their grocery lists. While I'm all for reducing the energy demands associated with food production, I think the singular attention given to the issue of food miles is misguided, and I'll use this post to explain why.

Summer downpours have a gleaming reputation for clearing the air.
But, they don't clear the water.
A downpour on July 3 likely prompted a beach closing in Burlington on Tuesday, experts say. Not missing a beat, a thunderstorm Tuesday night appears to have overwhelmed the sewage treatment plant in Essex Junction.
It started with an outdoor garden to attract wildlife. Then came a new lighting system to reduce energy use. A recycling program followed that.
Several months after San Antonio Water System's bold move to secure ownership of its treated sewer water even after it gets released back into a public waterway, state regulators are saying they doubt that's possible.
WASHINGTON (AP) â€" A string of fiery train derailments across the country has triggered a high-stakes but behind-the-scenes campaign to shape how the government responds to calls for tighter safety rules. Billions of dollars are riding on how these rules are written, and lobbyists from the railroads, tank car manufacturers and the oil, ethanol and chemical industries have met 13 times since March with officials at the White House and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. The pitches illustrate why government officials, who must show that safety benefits outweigh the economic costs of rules, often struggle for years, only to produce watered-down regulations. Since 2008, there have been 10 significant derailments in the U.S. and Canada in which crude oil has spilled from ruptured tank cars, often resulting in huge fireballs. A year ago this month, a runaway train with 72 tank cars of crude en route from the Bakken to a refinery in Canada hurtled into the Quebec town of Lac-Megantic, exploded and killed 47 people. The ethanol industry, including agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland, has told regulators that if tank car standards must be strengthened, the new requirements should apply only to crude oil, Dinneen said. The chemical industry, which ships both flammable and nonflammable liquids in tank cars, has told regulators that if they propose a new tank car standard, it should be phased in, starting with oil shipments. Rather than new rules for tank cars, the oil and ethanol industries want regulators to turn their attention to whether railroads should do more to prevent accidents.

According to the FFSG's most recent press release, Brian Joubert will indeed be going to Euros (there was some speculation about that earlier). P/B are of course out - sad to see only one French ice dance team
Has it been mentioned on FSU that Alexis Miart was on the dutch version of Dancing with the Stars on Ice? I've just found out about it!
Btw, Maé-Bérénice Méité is now on Twitter, in case anyone wants to follow her, so is Alexis but I won't put his address here in protest for his shameful disappearing act.
I'm actually looking forward to watching Papadakis/Cizeron next year too!
As to Joubert changing his FS, well, it's not the best timing but I think it could be a good move for him since, IMHO, he wasn't feeling his Inception program and if he doesn't feel it he loses a lot of energy and the whole thing sucks to no end. I liked Gladiator as an exhibition, he seemed much more at ease with that interpretation and it didn't feel overly Yagudinish to me, but maybe I've forgotten what Yags was like(and I'm not sorry about it ).
P/B **endless sigh**
Another piece of info to add to this thread is that Pernelle Carron and Lloyd Jones and their coach Marika Humphreys-Baranova have lately spent some of their time at the Novi Ice Arena with Igor Shpilband.
It seems that Joubert is doing the Challenge Cup(Netherlands) again this year.
Fabian Bourzat posted on their Facebook fan page on Feb. 7 that he has returned to the ice, after 4 weeks off, "in shape and super motivated!"

"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
Gosh, everytime I see this thread up, I fear somebody is injured again.
Update on Péchalat/Bourzat by Nathalie: http://web.icenetwork.com/news/artic...&vkey=ice_news
"It's going rather well," Péchalat said. "We have not lost anything in terms of quality or technique. Physically, though, we need to practice hard to be in top form for worlds in three weeks. We, however, need to go step by step, as Fabian needs to be careful of how intense and how long he practices. He can skate about one hour and a half every day, just the time to review everything. We also exercise physically for about another hour and a half every day, through stretching, and specific muscle and cardio work. Fabian listens to his body very carefully, and we all adapt to his own rhythm."
Asked whether resuming training after such a problem was too difficult, Péchalat was quick to answer.
"Oh, no! Real life is starting again. It's work, work, work, and it's really better that way," she explained. "Before skating together again, Fabian and I started to review our programs off the ice, in order to identify what was still feasible and what was not. We had to stop, but not for long enough to forget any element of our programs. We have reached midseason, so we have them fully automatized by now. Things would have been much more difficult earlier in the season. Now, it's really cool to be together on the ice after all that time. Plus, we both love our programs, and we were really missing them."

Can't wait to see them at worlds
I've just watched Papadakis/Cizeron at Junior Worlds and I really hope they are the next big thing in ice dancing. I like them a lot.
It's unfortunate that neither Romain Ponsart nor Chafik Besseghier will get the opportunity to compete at Worlds this year (Amodio and Joubert are the only 2 listed on the ISU site now).

Yeah. Really nice decision from dear dear FFSG.
I'd love to hear WHY they're going that route, again.
poths Void: MarieM carries a rusty old blade in her handbag!
Hoping for a great rivalry in the future from these two teams
Have always loved french teams.Also great to see Zazoui back in the knc.
If an ISU Member entered three (3) Competitors in a discipline of a Championships, only the two (2) best placed Competitors will count for points;
...so I can't figure out why..unless his withdrawal affects the overall numbers in the event such that the flights are 5 instead of 6 and # 10 and # 12 World Ranking are left out of the final 2 flights of the SP seeding.
..... or they are just being FFSG..and mean spirited.
The case for Spain is a little different.
If 2 men are in..both placements count...and must total 13 or less to get 3 spots ( not likely for Raya)
If only one is entered...a 1st or 2nd placement will get them 3 Olympic spots...a very realistic outcome for Fernandez.

Please help out with your knowledge on these great players wherever you can.

I'll also be seeing her and Eric skate in a few weeks during a Celebration On Ice tour stop. Can't wait, as it'll be the first time Megan's been home w/Eric to skate/perform since she and Eric won their National Title in January. The ol Arena will be rocking in a few weeks.
Here's a new article on Meagan Duhamel about her and Eric Radford's busy December schedule : http://www.thesudburystar.com/2012/1...another-silver
"Making sure all our flights are organized is like an Amazing Race," Duhamel joked from her home in Montreal, where she returned to late Monday after competing in the Bompard Trophy ISU Grand Prix in Paris, France. "We leave for Russia in 10 days for the Grand Prix finals and we need visas and we spent all of today getting those organized. There's so much paperwork, you have to go to the Russian consulate and it's such a hassle. Then when we get back from Russia we leave for the (Celebration On Ice) tour the next day. This next month is crazy."
Duhamel welcomes the busy schedule, though.
"Everything is really, really good," she said. "We're tired, but feeling good and we got back to training today to put together a Christmas program for the tour and work on our competition programs. We always remember that it's good to be busy because that means you're being successful."
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
Maybe this thread was started because it's about time Meagan got her own thread! Meagan sat behind me at the 2008 Canadian Championships. I wanted to wish her good luck for Worlds, but there didn't seem to be an appropriate time to jump into their conversation. And I got shy. But she seemed very sweet. And pretty.
It's official. I am madly in love with Meryl Davis.
Oh yes, she is so pretty.
My travel and adventure blog http://alisonanddon.wordpress.com
Pretty and looks like she could break you in half with her arms! What a combination! She is a feisty one!
We are at post #15 about a Canadian skater and there have been zero comments about how much she/he is over-marked.
It's official. I am madly in love with Meryl Davis.
Now you've done it...they'll come crawling out of the woodwork any moment!
Haunting the Princess of Pink since 20/07/11...
To the contrary ... D/R are NOT over-marked, IMO. Their fp performance at last year's Canadian Nationals was the stuff of magic -- they were in a zone and their reactions right after their performance said it all (even before they received any marks). Skating in the end is all about magic and living up to and realizing your dreams.
I watched the CBC coverage of the Pairs Free Skate from TEB and though I realized it was pretty good and I was very happy for them as I like them a lot, it wasn't until they showed a replay without commentary the next day that I realized how much magic there was in that performance too. Of course I could also relax more then as I already knew they had the best free skate of the day.
Would someone outside Canada please test out this link and see if this TEB performance is accessible - not geoblocked? If it works then maybe FSWer will be able to see it too as it is not YouTube. You have to watch a couple of ads first but that's all.

When I clicked on the link provided or when I pasted the link into the address bar-I was not taken to the video, but to the cbc.ca/player homepage. On the homepage, I put Meagan Duhamel's name in the search box, and was able to get a listing on the videos that way. I'm in the U.S. and was able to watch the video, without being geoblocked.
Ah that's good. Would you mind terribly trying this slightly different link too just to see if it works any better? I really can't tell because the first link seemed to take me directly to their video when I tried it myself.
