UCLA Projected to Go 2-7, Finish Fifth in Pac-12 South
Many thanks to all of you who participated in our Pac-12 predictions survey. We had over 1000 responses! Unfortunately for the Bruins, this does not appear to be a redemption year for Neuheisel. The Bruins are only projected to win two games: at home against Washington State and Colorado. If it makes you feel any better, USC finishes third in the South, instead of the 1st place finish predicted at Pac-12 Media Day.

Evidence for God Exists… if You Start With God
"It is the first book I have read that asks a question about electric cars that should have been asked long ago: How much pollution do they cause?
"Electric car enthusiasts may say, 'None.' But the electricity that runs these cars has to be generated somewhere, and much of that electricity is generated by burning coal. The fact that no pollution comes out of the car itself is irrelevant, when the pollution comes out of a smokestack somewhere else."
There's a great amount of evidence in all of Stossel's books and TV specials about the failures of a government controlled economy and the success of the free market. His books are filled with reasoned arguments for his position. Even so, millions of people don't believe in his belief that the free market is the best economic system.
Does he need more evidence and better reasons?
In an interview with Gretchen Carlson on Fox News, Stossel discussed his agnosticism. He maintain that he's tried to believe in God, but can't. His reason? "Because I want evidence. I want reason and explanation." In 2010, Stossel said, "God may exist, but I want more evidence and I've looked for it." [product id="1354" align="left" size="small"]
If reason and evidence are the determining factors in a debate over economics, then why do so many people oppose it? More than 50 percent of American voters rejected Stossel's economic evidences and reasoning and put their faith in an economic system that has failed time and time again.
I'm sure that some of them argued, "The free market may be the best system, but I want more evidence. I've looked for it, but I have not been able to find it."
The facts are there. That's what Stossel would say about economics. I would say the same thing about the existence of God. Stossel has set himself up as the judge and jury of the facts. The free market skeptics do the same thing.
Our task is not to present the Christian faith as a debatable hypothesis, a study in probability, or just one religious option among many. We should never say, "You be the judge." In a biblical defense of the Christian faith, God is not the one on trial; man is, as C. S. Lewis points out in his article "God in the Dock." The "Dock" is the British version of our witness stand:
"The ancient man approached God (or even the gods) as the accused person approaches his judge. For the modern man the roles are reversed. He is the judge: God is in the dock [the enclosure where a prisoner is placed in an English criminal trial]. He is quite a kindly judge: if God should have a reasonable defence for being the god who permits war, poverty and disease, he is ready to listen to it. The trial may even end in God's acquittal. But the important thing is that Man is on the Bench and God in the Dock."(1)
How can a finite, fallible, and fallen being ever be a qualified judge of eternal things? How is it possible that the creature can legitimately question the Creator? God asks Job: "Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it" (Job 40:1). Job responded, knowing the limitations of his own nature, the only way he could: "Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to Thee? I lay my hand on my mouth" (40:4). [product id="1255" align="right" size="small"]
God asks Job a series of questions that demonstrate how limited he is in knowledge and experience: "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth! Tell Me, if you have understanding. Who set its measurements, since you know?" (38:4). Job was trying to figure out the world and the way it works based on his own limited frame of reference. This is an impossible and immoral task.
Stossel lives, moves, thinks, and breathes in a world that requires God's existence. That's the evidence. Take God out of the picture, and nothing has meaning. "The proof that God exists," Sye TenBruggencate points out, "is that without Him you couldn't know anything," including what is economically right or wrong.Endnotes:

4 Responses to Evidence for God Exists… if You Start With God
I sure am glad that I believed in God, believed in His sovereignty, His omnipotence, omnipresence and His omniscience and His love for me, long before I ever heard the words, "apologetics" or presuppositional." For I fear that had I ever read an article like this one, I would have thought that the belief in God was a knowledge that was too high and lofty for the child that I was when I first believed.
It was bad enough for me as that child to have an older brother who was at first a atheist then evolving slowly into a agnostic. His evolution came as a result of his own realization that he could not disprove the existence of God, therefore he must rename his lack of belief and give it the appropriate title. Sadly, he doesn't understand that his lack of belief doesn't make God a myth.
And BTW, where I come from, PHD stands for post hole digger.
Gods will is for us to have a free market to the extent of everyone has a role, ie… we all must work hard at whatever it is we do best and share our results with all who need them. We are not to profit to the point of excess, but to the point of our needs and give our excess to others. This means, if we here in America have more than anyone else say in Africa, Indonesia or wherever human beings are living in disease and sickness or under oppression, then it is our God given duty(command) to use our excess(more than we absolutely need) to help them. If we do not, then we consider ourselves human and them subhuman, or we consider ourselves better then they ! WE ARE HERE TO SERVE GOD(which means the poor and least of us) NOT OURSELVES !!!!
Gary North's point is that the real reason why free market economics are not widely believed is because people do not believe in God or the Bible. You have to have faith that millions of people making trillions of decisions will result on positive good. I've read this exact point in comments on the WSJ. Why should someone have faith in all those individual decisions resulting in a positive outcome? God and his valuation of goods, property, liberty, and the economy, as revealed in the Bible, is the only source of "proof" that the free market economy is best. So ultimately, only Christians will have a free market economy.
As Christ said in John 10:26-27: "But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.[a] 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me."
Christians aren't saved because they are smarter than other folks. You can have economics right and still not really get it.

Buys, holds, and hopes
"There is definitely going to be another financial crisis around the corner," says hedge fund legend Mark Mobius, "because we haven't solved any of the things that caused the previous crisis."
We're raising our alert status for the next financial crisis. We already raised it last week after spreads on U.S. credit default swaps started blowing out. We raised it again after seeing the remarks of Mr. Mobius, chief of the $50 billion emerging markets desk at Templeton Asset Management.
Speaking in Tokyo, he pointed to derivatives, the financial hairball of futures, options, and swaps in which nearly all the world's major banks are tangled up.
Estimates on the amount of derivatives out there worldwide vary. An oft-heard estimate is $600 trillion. That squares with Mobius' guess of 10 times the world's annual GDP. "Are the derivatives regulated?" asks Mobius. "No. Are you still getting growth in derivatives? Yes."
In other words, something along the lines of securitized mortgages is lurking out there, ready to trigger another crisis as in 2007-08.
What could it be? We'll offer up a good guess, one the market is discounting.
Seldom does a stock index rise so much, for so little reason, as the Dow did on the open Tuesday morning: 115 Dow points on a rumor that Greece is going to get a second bailout.
Let's step back for a moment: The Greek crisis is first and foremost about the German and French banks that were foolish enough to lend money to Greece in the first place. What sort of derivative contracts tied to Greek debt are they sitting on? What worldwide mayhem would ensue if Greece didn't pay back 100 centimes on the euro?
Contrary to Mr. Pento's assertions, the Fed cannot be "wiped out."
See the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.4.1 dated 1/6/11. Effectively, future losses that would result in a negative capital position on the FRB balance sheet will be reflected as a negative liability. That liability can be characterized as a receivable from the Treasury.
Actual text follows:
"The Board's H.4.1 statistical release,"Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to reflect an accounting policy change that will result in a more transparent presentation of each Federal Reserve Bank's capital accounts and distribution of residual earnings to the U.S. Treasury. Although the accounting policy change does not affect the amount of residual earnings that the Federal Reserve Banks distribute to the U.S. Treasury, it may affect the timing of the distributions. Consistent with long-standing policy of the Board of Governors, the residual earnings of each Federal Reserve Bank, after providing for the costs of operations, payment of dividends, and the amount necessary to equate surplus with capital paid-in, are distributed weekly to the U.S. Treasury. The distribution of residual earnings to the U.S. Treasury is made in accordance with the Board of Governor's authority to levy an interest charge on the Federal Reserve Banks based on the amount of each Federal Reserve Bank's outstanding Federal Reserve notes.
Effective January 1, 2011, as a result of the accounting policy change, on a daily basis each Federal Reserve Bank will adjust the balance in its surplus account to equate surplus with capital paid-in and, in addition, will adjust its liability for the distribution of residual earnings to the U.S. Treasury. Previously these adjustments were made only at year-end. Adjusting the surplus account balance and the liability for the distribution of residual earnings to the U.S. Treasury is consistent with the existing requirement for daily accrual of many other items that appear in the Board's H.4.1 statistical release. The liability for the distribution of residual earnings to the U.S. Treasury will be reported as "Interest on Federal Reserve notes due to U.S. Treasury" on table 10. Previously, the amount necessary to equate surplus with capital paid-in and the amount of the liability for the distribution of residual earnings to the U.S. Treasury were included in "Other capital accounts" in table 9 and in "Other capital" in table 10.
To translate into "regular guy", if the FED goes broke they'll call the Treasury, and the Treasury will give them T-Bills to cover their debt. The Treasury gets T-Bills by buying them from the FED. The FED causes the T-Bill to be created for the Treasury by creating money digitally and using that money to pay for a T-Bill.
In other words, it's all a lie. Audit The FED!
Where does the Treasury get the money to bail out the Fed? More debt!
Should have closed the banks and banned the bankers (including The Bernanke) when the crisis first hit. Nationalized them, cleaned them up, hired adults to run them. Instead, the kids are still in the sandbox making mud pies.
This all sounds bad unless we alter one assumption: wiping out the Fed is a bad thing? Let it die.
Sounds good. At least then we'll all be wiped out equally. Then we can start again, from scratch. Should also give the planet a chance to breathe.
It appears that many of our basic economic theories will be tested for actual results in the coming months and years. We have been trying to manage our economy based on outdated and empirically unproven assumptions.
The worst of these ideas are those about taxes versus economic stimulus. We make various assumptions and then perform calucations that supposedly prove a point. A lot of these assumptions are critical to the calculations and without some hard data to justify the assumption allows us to make assumptions that will prove a theory.
We are currently in a situation as close to the great depression as we've ever been and as usual the politicans are arguing over tax cuts to stimulate the economy or a direct stimulus in the form of government deficit spending. Then the argument shifts to how much increasing the debt is going to cost us or hurt us. Has anyone ever calculated or measured the multiplier for one or the other type of stimulus. If we don't understand how a tax cut or stimulus actually rolls through the economy, we can't make good judgements of what it has or hasn't done for us.
We have a lot of political stupid going around. One side says tax cuts are the key because they put money in the pockets of people who will invest it, creating new jobs and improving the economy. Sounds good, but has anyone really proven it? The other side says that approach takes too long and leaves the great majority waiting until the supposed benefits work their way through the economy to them. Their solution is to stimulate the economy at a different level, the demand level. Their idea is putting money in everybody's pocket will stimulate demand and move the economy towards recovery faster. No one has been able to develop a solid way of measuring the actual effects of either.
The one thing we can say for sure is liquidity is king. In every serious economic downturn we've had since the Great Depression, the Fed has correctly kept the financial system from collapsing as it did in the 1930s by infusing real or virtual liquidity into the financial system. It has used massive infusions of liquidity into the financial system as it has done during the current crisis. In the late 1980s, program trading (currently known as computer trading) caused a huge drop in the stock markets. At that time, the whole system was in danger of collapsing as margin calls were made. At that time the New York Fed advised the major banks and brokerage firms that the Fed would provide whatever liquidity was needed to keep failures from happening. The promise of liquidity was all that was needed to keep margin calls from cratering the financial system.
Now, if we quit worrying about the Fed and concentrate on the real problem with the economy, IT'S HOUSING STUPID! Housing is moribund. It currently contributes only about half of what it did before to GDP. Unemployment in construction is above 20%. We are talking about losing something in the range of 700 billion to 1.2 trillion of direct contribution to the GDP, not ot mention the multiplier effect as it rolls through the economy.
Fix housing. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are not in trouble because of their structure or financial underpining, rather because of perverse incentives to senior managers resulting in gutting of underwriting criteria and the purchase or guaranteeing of bad loans. Get rid of the bad loans to a recapitalized and reactivated RTC, recapitalized Fannie and Freddie, restore intrest rates and underwriting requirements to what we know will produce sustainable results.
Working through an RTC will help to get houses sold which will help stimulate the market. The last time the RTC managed to move all the real estate they received in faster than expected turnarounds while not dragging down pricing in affected localities. That helped keep prices up and state and local tax revenues up.
A targeted stimulus at housing sufficiently large to accomplish the job, which means another amount of 1 trillion, and reconstitution of the regulatory system for mortgage investment.
Enough said, fix housing and the economy will recover. Continue to ignore it and the economy will continue to sputter for at least two more years. I've seen predictions for a housing recovery for spring of next year. That won't happen if the mortgage supply system isn't fixed.
Economic theories belong in a classroom. Economic facts are not hard to come back and basic economics isn't a theoretical exercise. If we had practiced real economics instead of some fantacy cooked up by a Bankers and a couple of shills we wouldn't be in this mess. Kill the FED and force the Government to print it's own funny money. At least we won't haver to pay interest and we can just print what we need. I time of war it has precident. Green back dollars got us through the Civil War.
The housing bubble, in part, was inflated by bottom up demand from immigration.
Somewhere along the way we've reached a point of diminishing returns on immigration/housing policy. US middle-class wages will not support the inflated land prices we are subject to. Both of these factors are driven by population increase, or in this case mass-immigration and related free-trade policy/agreements.
Exacerbating the problem is that the US policy has been to keep vacant housing inventory off-market for several years now with the intention of protecting investors.
So in addition to the derivative market noted in the article, housing prices have not been allowed to adjust to the new market realities.
Weaver, your suggestion that the housing bubble is in *any part* to blame on immigration is, said kindly, absurd.
The housing bubble occurred for two reasons on the demand side – A) the ease of obtaining a loan B) speculators who didn't believe prices would go anywhere but up (I knew many of these people).
People were buying multiple homes, leveraging everything they could to do so.
And on the supply side . . .
Go visit Arizona and you will see thousands and thousands of homes sitting empty.
Even during the boom (and I don't pretend that I *saw* the burst coming) I was asking "Where are all these people going to come from to live in these homes?"
Developers WAY over built in hopes of exploiting the situation. I should expect that all of the places hit hardest are also the places that were most OVER built.
If there was any sense of shortage that drove up prices it was on the part of people seeking to buy as much property as they could without any consideration that SUPPLY far outweighed the demand. That, in large part, is why the bubble burst.
You've got to see this:
Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Bank?: An Uncensored Investigation of the U.S. Federal Reserve
Excellent. I don't know why all Americans aren't livid. It a perfect world all of the miscreants at the FED would be hanging in a tree right along with the Majority of Congress, who are the single largest collection of morons ever assembled in one place in the entire history of mankind. ! To bad this ins't a perfect world.
Alright, I'll go along with "The Fed cannot be wiped out", and I'll accept the point of "liquidity" being the saving grace of past economic disasters. But where is the money? Or better yet, does it even exist anymore? Have we not lost 7% of our currency value in the last year? What and where do we go from here? Or, do we?
Just how bad will it get? From what I have just read here I can only assume "real bad". When the three cries of history replay themselves again then I think we will be at the bottom. (Refer to Grapes of Wrath- Steinbeck for the three cries)
The coming economic collapse will be global and severe. Representatives from the world's largest economies (G8 or G20 or similar) will gather to analyze the crisis. They will conclude that global financial regulation was non-existent or insufficient to control the bubbles in sovereign debt, electronic trading, derivatives, etc. Sovereign nations will concede financial regulation to a global governing body (IMF?) and the world will have a global financial regulatory authority in a very short time; a world Fed.
Fear of a global economic collapse is insufficient motivation for sovereign nations to concede their financial regulatory authority to a world Fed. Creation of a global financial regulatory authority will only be possible after a global economic collapse. Your social security or tax ID number will be your account number. Every transaction will include this number. Ours is the first generation to see computer technology sufficient to track 7 billion global account numbers.
All this could start in motion any day now. Not to worry, there will be sufficient food, water and clothing. Anything more than that is a luxury anyway. Just ask the poorest one billion people among us.

Nopthing alters the fact that we have private shylocks controling our money and our economy and answerable to no one. We have no money. We have debt and the only way to get more currency ( Bank Notes )is to borrow from shylock. Bank notes are currency and legal tender, but they aren't money and they represent nothing what so ever than debt. Americans are all Lunatics to think that this is anything but servatude.

I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, BidsNew.com
You know we had no debt back in the 1960′s to speak of. We have come a long way baby to have racked up over 14 trillion in debt we no ballanced budget in sight.
How did we get so far off the path and how can so many people really belive we need to raise taxes and spend more???
We now truely live in an insane world.
Good luck !!!
Hello Mr. wiggin,
It will be 20 years of Japan, which still has yet to change its ways.
For market interest rates to return, the Fed must weaken its balance sheet. And the Fed will resist.
This went viral–its great!
If every American (or even just one in 5) each sent a one-time $10.00 check to the US treasury to pay down the interest on our national debt (stipulate this in the check memo) in 72 hours the US treasury would have well over .5 trillion dollars to use on the debt.
This now allows a matching amount of capitol to come out of the treasury, which, can be SPENT on saving America.
Now there is money for programs, Seniors jobs–what an economic stimulus it is–One made by and for the people of the grand USA.
I sent my $10.00 check to the same address where I send my Fed Tax forms.
Amazingly–They are even asking Pres. Obama to write out a $10.00 check–they are asking all of Congress to write out one-time $10.00 checks.
Bring the troops home,use the money Americans send in–to fix what's apparently temorarily WAY TOO BROKEN.
Thanks America for doing something.
We Can do something Get out of "learned helplessness mode and write that check right now.
Money talks.
Throw in a few more market technical failures, twitter manipulations and federal heads in the sand on market cyber security and he may be right.
Time to stock up on canned goods?
"Around the corner" and this is 2 years old now, and we're still saying the same thing. Mighty long corner. :) OTOH we underestimated how much debt the EU, US, and Asia could take on in the meantime. And we still have little idea how much hidden debt is in China, or what that inevitable bubble pop will be like with the world's second and third largest economies.
I wish I could find the paper to post here. An economist a few years ago had the right idea. Instead of TARP and other b/s schemes he had figured if every tax payer (filed) was given $100,000 first money to be paid towards their mortgage and then the excess refunded to them the cost would have been 1/2 of TARP and the country would have been far ahead. He was the first person I ever saw who wanted a bailout that at least made sense. Lenders would have been paid and people not foolish enough to have bought more then they could afford would have spending cash.
Of course to people like me let the foolish investors all fail including the lenders, most failed anyways and people lost their homes as well

Massey revealed that he isn't planning on re-signing with the soap, after his second Daytime Emmy Award win. To find out what he wants to do next, his thoughts on Freddie Smith (Sonny), James Scott (EJ) and more, read his full interview, here.

This really stinks!

What a loss for Days…he is so talented. I hope he has further success in his future. Good luck Chandler.
- June 22, 2013 at 7:06 pm(3) Laurence H says:
Oh, he'll be back. Sorry, Chandler, but let's be real. If it weren't for the fact that you are good looking, played a gay role, and had an equally good looking partner to get the gays and Republicans all hot and bothered, your Emmy mantle would be empty. I have yet to see one of the DOOL younger cast actually crack primetime and make it there…because they're hired as pretty faces, and that's about it. Don't buy the hype, Chandler…stick to what you know.

i wish you will keep will on the show for a little longer he is good and it is just getting started with gabe and the baBY

When Chandler Massey playing Will in the show who will be the father of Arianna Grace. Will Gabi be a single mother with Sonny or her husband Nick.
- June 22, 2013 at 11:47 pm(6) Sammy says:
Good luck Chandler. Not gonna lie, I'm happy he is leaving. Not a good actor at all. Like Laurence said, if he wasn't playing an over-hyped gay roll, he wouldn't have one Emmy let alone two. None of DAYS "young" actors have the It Factor but at least Blake is a good actor. Chandler, nope.
- June 23, 2013 at 12:02 am(7) Jim R says:
Thank goodness! Chandler is a horrible actor who only took the role this far because Will is gay.
- June 23, 2013 at 12:13 am(8) Ricky says:
Can I do a happy dance now that Mr. I-don't-know-whether-to-laugh-or-cry Massey is out? Sorry fans of his but he is a bad actor that I won't miss at all. Now, please let Freddie be next out the door.

At least you were cute to watch with the vixen smile of wonderment. Sonny is like an old maid. I say bring in your friend "T" (Brendan Coughlin) to replace you. Not only is he cute but he can act. Good luck in your next venture.
- June 23, 2013 at 3:30 pm(11) Vicki in Monterey says:
Mandarin Chinese? Marvelous…I think anything that Chandler put his mind to, he could excel at. I'll miss him on-canvas, but maybe he'll return someday after he "tests the waters" – good luck, God Speed!

Chandler Massey has been here in Columbus,Ohio since friday has been in many interviews,asked on every interview if he had any plans on leaving Days and every time the answer was NO. He loves playing Will and has no desire to leave. In none of his interviews did he day that he wasn't signing a new contract. I was great having him here and I do hope you make it back for RED WHITE AND BOOM July 3rd. Thanks Chandler.

Must be hard for Chandler to know what his next move should be. He's is such a motovated, perfectionistiv person, he'll definitely "go for it", but at the very least, he can use UCLA as a bargaining chip for more money from NBC. Personally, I predict Chandler will in fact leave for his education and then come back to DAYS if something bigger and better hasn't come along. I wouldn't underestimate his acting ability if given the right role in the right project. He has potential to spread out into a bigger Hollywood career and he needs to explore that, but so much depends on luck and timing. He is one of my favorite actors ever!
- June 23, 2013 at 7:03 pm(16) Jane says:
Wow, some of the comments are so mean spirited. Kinda sad people hate just to hate.
- June 24, 2013 at 9:37 am(17) EJK says:
Chandler Massey is one of the best actors on DAYS and projects "star quality" which is inself a big plus. Think Deidre Hall and consider how she lights up the screen.Chandler in the best sense will become the new James Dean given a good role. Also Freddie Smith was a great gift to DAYS as Will's love;they really work well together and they created an award winning show.Let's marry 'em up.It's timely and will offend everyone and get great ratings.
Congrats to the writers for last Fridays show with Kristen drugging and raping the shy Eric, very funny, J.J. getting caught once again and getting away with it (Mom says he is a good boy, Thank you Moms everywhere) and both Sonny and Will finally standing up to E.J. and Sami. Will he spill the beans on all his family's murders? Don't do it Will, you have an interesting family so keep it going.
- June 24, 2013 at 10:27 am(18) cathym says:
#17 EJK, I agree. I've been watching Days since the mid 70′s, never missed a day, good or bad stories I still watch and enjoy. If everyone would look at Days on the bright side and make good comments Days will be on forever. When it isn't on for a couple of days because of sports I feel like my day is not complete, there is something missing, and yes, I do have a full life and a family.
There is good and bad in everyone and everything, I choose to look at the positives in life and in people, the good sides, and for those who say bad things about the actors on how they act and how they look, it's not nice to say bad things about anyone, it's bully. We don't know for sure if the actors read our comments through the internet, but if they do think of how they must feel reading mean things about them and wanting them out of Days. If Chandler and Freddie were bad actors they wouldn't be nominated and Chandler would not win twice. They are fantastic actors, they are convincing and they seem real, like they are not even being taped. I honestly thought that Sonny was telling his real life story when he opened up to Will about when he told his parents that he is gay and how he knew he is gay, so if that's not good acting then I don't know what is, and Gabi is beautiful girl and a fantastic actress.
- June 24, 2013 at 2:19 pm(19) Samantha says:
Wilson – supercouple. I love how Chandler talks about Freddie. Chandler & Freddie are adorable together.
I'm waiting a Wilson wedding.
- June 24, 2013 at 4:14 pm(20) Michelle says:
Chandler took Will from a background character to a front running character. You can't do that without having some acting chops. I will miss him if he leaves, but leaving for school is a wise decision if he keeps doing small jobs to stay in the public eye. He will be easily forgotten if not. Days will always take him back if he changes his mind.
- June 24, 2013 at 4:26 pm(21) Kay says:
Chandler has said that he may leave Days at the end of his contract but he is not "100% sure" so there is a chance he may stay. I am not going to get upset if he does leave because he is planning on furthering his education. I wish him luck as he continues to look for work outside of Days. I hope Freddie Smith stays though. I think his contract doesn't end until April 2015. Not sure if they will recast the role of Will or what they will do, since Will Horton is a part of the history of the show. We will have to see how the show handles this, if Chandler does eventually leave. Since they tape so far in advance (4 months+) we will still see scenes of Will and Sonny through April 2014 so at least we will still get to enjoy the couple. Once he completes his education, who knows maybe he will come back to Days. Otherwise, maybe we will see him in primetime or even on the big screen since he has done several films in the past few years. Good Luck to him as he decides on his future.
- June 24, 2013 at 6:56 pm(22) mark says:
WOW !!!!!! : ( Now both Chad and Will are leaving DAYS !!!!!! : ( Something has really got to be wrong on the set now. What is going on with the men leaving DAYS !!!! : ( Also, I am assuming Rafe is still in a coma ????? It seems like we haven't seen him in weeks. WOW ! I think DAYS has turned into the Eileen Davidson show myself. I am getting tired of her. I wish she would leave. I HATE WHAT THE WRITERS HAD HER TO DO TO POOR ERIC. : ( That was simply crazy. I think Crazy Kristen has lost it.
I think Days has turned out to be the new desperate housewives with everyone broken up. The only married people on the show now are Maggie and Victor and Justin and Adrianne. Whew !!!!!
- June 24, 2013 at 7:23 pm(23) Bettina Braun says:
I hate to see Chandler go. They have had some really bad actors playing Will, but Chandler was good. I will be happy if the gay story line goes with him though!
- June 24, 2013 at 7:28 pm(24) Amy says:
Simply replace him. Many can be replaced. In a week after he will be forgotten. Fickle is the name of the game.
- June 24, 2013 at 8:04 pm(25) raymone says:
It can't be easy being Sami s son, and Chandler does it so well! Can't be easy being a DiMera and yet Casey does it well, too. It would be wise of Days to keep both actors. What a SHAME.
- June 24, 2013 at 8:10 pm(26) Barb says:
I , as a LONG time Days fan, have liked Chandler playing Will and am sorry to see him go. He is a cute kid.
Of all the young people, I like him the best.
However,I can see how a young guy like he is wants to see if there is anything else for him while he's still hot … from his Emmy award.
But, the business is fickle, it's not always your talent,because there are a lot of pretty, talented faces out there…. but, being in the right place at the right time. I hope, for him, that this happens.
Have we seen Peter Reckell doing anything… recently…LOL…at all?
Did we see Peter Reckell do much of anything that last time he left? No…that's why he came back. But…..
I wish Chandler well.
- June 24, 2013 at 8:54 pm(27) tommy says:
Maybe Days will wise up and drop this Fag lover crap.
- June 24, 2013 at 9:41 pm(28) Lynn says:
Will is a great actor in Days . I will miss him in Days , a lot can change between now and Dec 2013.
- June 24, 2013 at 9:47 pm(29) Lynn Streeter says:
He will be be missed in Days . He s a great actor . May be things will change by the time Dec of 2013 comes all along he might stay with days.
- June 25, 2013 at 12:23 am(30) Margaret says:
Hate to see him go also very good actor…………So Sad
- June 25, 2013 at 2:00 am(31) Gina says:
I will certainly miss your character as Will. Especially at a time when Will, J.J., the lady actor (sorry I forgot her name right now) and the baby are just arrived home from the hospital.. I was looking forward to seeing how all of you would get along. I have seen you grow as an actor since you arrived. Now your a man and I adore your character. At first I wasn't sure I'd care for two men together. Yet, as time went on, I grew to love Will and Sony's caring for each other.
I can see why you'd like to explore different avenues of acting. But I sure will miss you. Best wishes.
- June 25, 2013 at 2:11 am(32) Gina Busateri says:
I'm certainly going to miss you. Your my favorite young male actor. Your leaving at an especially wonderful time. I was looking forward to watching Will, Sonny and (the young woman that had your characters baby),.Sorry I forgot her name. I wasn't sure I'd like a story line of two men together, Yet, Will and Sonny have developed an awesome relationship. You two have chemistry and really care about one another.
Yet I know it's time for you to carry on, and find different parts to play. Best of luck to you.
- June 25, 2013 at 2:16 am(33) Gina Busateri says:
Sorry, I made an error. I meant to say, Will and Sonny. I said J. J.instead.
- June 25, 2013 at 9:44 am(34) OMSAM5 says:
Chandler is a wonderful actor…he will be missed. He plays the role exceptionally well and certainly deserved the Emmy. I will be sorry to see him go as he adds much to the soap.
- June 25, 2013 at 10:37 am(35) EJK says:
To # 27 TOMMY, If the "fag love" is eliminated,then what will be left is your brand of ignorance and bigotry which you so eloquently espouse in a few well-chosen hate-filled words.
The peculiar brand of stupidity you represent encourages bullying, discrimination and childrens' suicides.
The bitter hate inate in you is far from the caring and thoughtful remarks of the vast majority of DAYS viewers. We may all have different favorites with the characters but keep a civil tongue; this is a good and very successful "drama" that entertains and occasionally teaches.
- June 25, 2013 at 2:12 pm(36) cathym says:
#35 EJK very well said, I agree completely.

I was upset when I heard the news that Chandler Massey is going to leave the show! I really enjoyed watching the characters Will and Sonny. I liked how they supported each other, and those close to them. I have watched the show for years, and it's hard when the actors want to leave, or are told to leave. You get used to seeing them on the screen. I admire him for following his passion, and wish him the best!
- June 26, 2013 at 7:08 am(39) DeDe says:
I think Chandler Massey has grown into his role as Will, when he first came on he was young and now he is a young man. It's usually his Mom who gets him into some kind of mess not him. She has a way of getting drawing him in. I will miss the Will, Sonny and Gabi and little Ariana story.
- June 26, 2013 at 2:03 pm(40) Peter Q says:
THANK GOD! HE IS A REALLY AWFUL ACTOR. Maybe while gone he can get some acting lessons. Just because he has two emmys doesn't mean he is a good actor. It means he has the gay mafia behind him. The guy doesn't know if he should laugh, cry, smile or smirk in a scene, really hard to watch. The show is much better off without him.
Eileen also needs to go, so sick of seeing her so much. It isn't DAYS OF KRISTEN'S life.
- June 26, 2013 at 2:05 pm(41) Nelsen says:
Notice how the people who think Chandler can "act" are fans? LOL! I agree, he has never been a good actor at all, very green and still green.
- June 29, 2013 at 7:46 am(42) Nina Anderson says:
i do not enjoy so much kissing between Sonny and Will. If we must watch the same sex relation surely you can do away with so much
physical contact
- June 30, 2013 at 7:52 pm(43) F6o_om says:
My fav young actor 😠 u will nt leave ☝
- July 1, 2013 at 12:02 am(44) Squirrely says:
So sorry to see you leave. Education is a great thing. Will you be going back to UCLA or to UGA? Please hurry back. Some of us in Georgia will really miss you.
- July 5, 2013 at 9:21 pm(45) Leah says:
The thing I like about Chandler Massey is that he bought the character of Will alive. Under Chandlers guidance Will had an attitude, mixed it up and wouldn't take anyones bull. Not from his mother, Stefano or EJ. I wonder if Days will recast this character as Will has become a central and important part of the show now. Have to say I like the dynamics of Ejami and Wilsons relationship now. Its so good and makes for good viewing…. All the BEST for the future Chandler!
- July 7, 2013 at 4:41 pm(46) wildflower says:
Not only is chandler (possibly) leaving but so are casey and camilla. I think because Wilson is so popular with the fans, they will unfortuanately have to recast. Which saddens me because freddie/chandler play off of one another so well. I just dont see that happening with another actor.
Also with camilla leaving, i think Will will follow her and Arianna leaving Sonny behind. So maybe they will create a new love interest for Sonny. But again i think Wilson is too important to the show to not recast meaning they may recast gabi too in order to keep these characters in Salem.
Anyway, such a sad day. Without Wilson, there is no point to watch!!
- July 13, 2013 at 8:21 pm(47) teresa says:
they finally get a good character to play the parts and then they quit. WHY!!!, so will Gabbi and Sonny fall in love will Sonny go straight . I hope they don't replace Chandler Massey i hope he comes back soon,
wish they wood get a life for Kristen instead of her menipilating peoples lives, can't wait to see whats in store for EJ wonder whats up Stefanos sleeves for him will Sammi end up pregnant again. I think Nicole and Brady should adopt a baby together.or let that poor girl have a baby since she would love tove to have one and it was stupid that they let her carry her pregancy out that long and make her lose the baby so I would like to see Nicole end up with a baby
- July 16, 2013 at 7:31 pm(48) Billy says:
Thank the soap gods, his acting sucks.
- July 17, 2013 at 2:09 pm(49) Stephanie says:
I want to cry :'( Will is my favorite character and the only reason why I watch the show with my mom :'(
- July 19, 2013 at 1:26 am(50) Lori says:
I like Will. He is good with sony & great with Gabi. But the writers to have him resing he cotrack, And get him and Gabi back together, there is still love between the to of them. GET WILL UNGAY ROLE BACK. For the sake of the show. And get christen off the show she is mean as mean can be. And get Sami back to Refe. Or I just might stop watching days if this stuff dose not happed. I have been watching days ever since I was 5 years old when it first was a half hour show with my mom who is now passed on. And the docters were this all started the days storys. So I can only hope this will happen. Or I gone from watching.
- July 19, 2013 at 6:35 pm(51) LEE says:
the show won't be the same without you, you have just begun with this whole new story line!!! you can't leave!!!!!!!
- July 23, 2013 at 12:25 pm(52) Lisa says:
All these young actors have no gratitude for the fans and the show and leave to try and go onto movies and prime time. I personally don't think Chandler is a good actor he only won Emmys because of the gay theme and not that many soaps around for competition. I'm kinda glad he's leaving.
- August 3, 2013 at 9:19 pm(53) Marietta LaRose says:
This can't be true . When Will is on screen I can't stop smiling. All i can say is "NO NO NO".
- August 5, 2013 at 6:20 am(54) latte 123 says:
If this is true that sucks. Chandler is one of the most talented young actor I've seen lately and the way he plays Will is incredible. Days fans will miss him but his career is just ahead of him. I cant wait to see Chandler on big screen. He will do great. I know so.
- August 8, 2013 at 5:47 pm(55) barbara says:
I love Chandler, I know that he wants to finish his education & i support him, I am just hoping tht he will hav he time to do DAYS PT, we cant loose him, we have loved him since he stepped into this part. It breaks my heart to see storyine changing already for his departure, he is lovingly steering Sonny away from him, DAYS took a risk w this storyline & im glad tht w the controversary they recvd from some, they went on with the storyline. NO ONE can replace Chandler, a gr8 actor, whom we all have grown to love, he is young, handsome and I'm tearing up writing this 2 you, I will cry IF he leaves permantely. We have already lost 2 many other characters tht we have watched over the yrs leave this show, after ev1 we loose, i loose interest more & more w DAYS. PLS, Chandler, dont leave this part, even if they have u traveling w the baby, YES, you cant leave ur daughter & I do not want DAYS 2 replace you w another Will <3
- August 14, 2013 at 2:37 pm(56) dareesa says:
Why ? WILL IS ONE OF THE REASONS THIS SOAP IS SO GOOD. DAMN.
- August 22, 2013 at 11:51 pm(57) fk says:
ejk u do not have to call tommy names for voicing his comment about his thought on will and sonny. they tell u to leave your commens- i hate to see chandler go too- mayby sonny can get a girl
- August 23, 2013 at 10:52 am(58) NicoNYC says:
you are the BEST-GREAT–GOOD actor. It was the best love story with Will and Sonny. Good luck in the future.
- September 20, 2013 at 10:56 am(59) Francesca says:
EJK…you have a sick sense of humor, to say the least. You must have all Catholics and mothers everywhere in an uproar. You give the writers praise for having Kristen rape a priest while under the influence? Are you a Sadist and an atheist? Crawl back into your pit of vipers. I am no prude, but what Kristen did is sacrilegious!!!!!!….no matter what religious denomination a person is. That was a sinful and shameful act!
As a mother, I resent your comments on JJ and his involvement with drugs. If you do not get the moral of this storyline, then you are dumber than you appear…and that's saying a lot, and not much. You simply do not get it, do you. Keep thinking the way you do and get your cheap thrills and two-bit laughs over something so serious in our society, then you will see how far you get, you fool. This storyline on JJ emphasizes the turmoil drugs can generate in an otherwise good family…I wonder who raised you.
- September 20, 2013 at 12:27 pm(60) Francesca says:
Again, EJK…Please try to learn how to construct a sentence."innate" has two n's and is an adjective. Do not try to impress by inappropriately using terms and words that you think make you appear smart. You are a malaprop. As an English major, I can certainly and without question say that.
Also, practice what you preach. You understand nothing about protagonists and their roles. If you did, you would not utter such idiocy by calling others stupid, albeit I agree that DOOL is one of the best soaps .
- September 26, 2013 at 8:57 pm(61) april says:
i will definetly stop watching days when he leaves. the whole jennifer, daniel and jj crap is so beyond old and so many, many of my family members and friends think the same. we will all stop watching the soap and switch to a soap that knows how to keep the good ones and get rid of the old. will is good. the old crap, jennifer, daniel and jj…..get over it….its the same crap every show….get rid of jj or jennifer….we are so sick of daniel constantly getting crapped on when he already had enough with klohe….like anyone really wants to see a drug addict screw with him anymore……change the script before we all change the channel to a different soap that isnt boring with the same crap over and over again……writer must be bored!! hope to see a change asap!!
- January 13, 2014 at 2:14 am(62) Melissa says:
I wish you the best but it "will" be weird to see someone else in your place… Just like "Bo" we as viewers come to love the characters…and the actors that play them…. to see someone that is not our people is not good…but if your contract is not good I understand it is all about what is best for your future…I "will" miss you …
- January 14, 2014 at 12:20 pm(63) Katy L says:
Laurence H. is so right, he will be back, when you start in soap, you will stay in soap. You have a good role and maybe the only one. I hope you will find what you are looking for. Best of luck.
- January 17, 2014 at 1:54 am(64) Idania WOOKEY says:
Please bring Will back!!!
- January 22, 2014 at 12:00 pm(65) Cheryl says:
So sorry to to see Chandler go. This new Will is not working for me, and now Sammy is leaving too. I may just stop watching.
- January 25, 2014 at 11:55 am(66) BC says:
Hate seeing Chandler leave Days, myself & co-worker enjoyed his acting and seeing him as Will. Not real sure we like the new Will. Wish you well Chandler, come on back!!

Room was nice, but needed better soundproofing - didn't appreciate the pressure to attend a timeshare meeting - friendly staff - parking was a block away, other than a few spaces across the street.

everything in your rig will contribute to your sound. is there a certain sound you are looking for? frankly i'm not a fan of warlocks, and if you have a bronze warlock don't bother buying anything until you replace the pickups. also though i am a hypocrite by saying this since i use pedals, a good amp distortion will kill any pedal. unfortuneately i bought my amp on name alone (marshall) and i liked its warm tube feel, however the distortion blows for what i play (In flames, nevermore, fear factory sound). i therefore have a pedal rig as a cheap fix for the time being. my reccomendation to you, try out alot of pedals and make sure you get yourself a noise gate. i'm a fan of both the digitech metalmaster and pro rat for my distortion, and any fairly decent quality noise gate should keep the noise to a minimum. as for you warlock frankly unless you have a top of the line series one, replace the pickups with actives, since the wood on the lower end ones are crap. active pickups can make almost any guitar sound good, since then the wood affects the sound very little. hope this helps somewhat, i'll follow up if ya post again

Racial Politics Last Week - A Roundup
by Jack Turner, Sun Oct 01, 2006 at 04:46:42 PM EDT
I figured my first turn at the racial roundup post should be inspired by an extra black authenticity. Thus, it is one day late! CP Time, yall. CP Time. Here we go:
Is Tupac's home changin?
Booker Rising discusses the declining black population of Oakland, CA and the impact on black businesses. Berkeley's North Gate News provides the context:
Barnett, who lives in East Oakland, has considered moving to the suburbs. He said he understands why people go. "People are leaving because it's so hard in Oakland right now," he said. "There are few jobs, high crime, and the schools are horrible. People want to go somewhere where their kids have a chance."Sounds like "Black Flight" to me, and it's hard to blame folks, but some see a solution in joining up. From the same article:
Other black businesses have even joined the Latino Chamber of Commerce.
Meanwhile, further downstate...
Black folks try to give Heismann to brown folks
The Daily Breeze is reporting about attempts from some black residents in Gardena, CA to block a Latino market from coming to town.
That's funny, Sista Dorothy. I'm pretty sure white folks said the same thing about your people when yall decided to leave the plantations.
About 75 neighbors packed the Gardena council chambers on Tuesday night to express opposition to the Numero Uno Market slated for the corner of Rosecrans and Normandie avenues.
"Everything coming into Gardena on our side is in Spanish," resident Dorothy Dawson said. "I thought we were in America."
After only two weeks of its race-based team structure, Survivor has forcibly integrated its teams for the remainder of the season. The AP explains:
...after only two episodes, producers merged the black, white, Asian and Latino tribes into two mixed-race gangs on the CBS reality show Thursday night. No explanation was given for the quick abandonment of segregation; it seemed to pass by so quickly as to mean nothing.Parvati clearly got hit in the head too many times. What an idiot. I suppose next he'll add, "now we can all get along happily ever after and pet kittens."
"We're back to America. We're a melting pot," said Parvati, a boxer on the new Raro tribe. "I love it."
Sambo continues expansion to include WWE
The HeraldSun in Durham, NC reported on a local activist outraged by two soon-to-be-released wrestling characters known as Cryme Tyme. Check out the ads that have been running in the leadup.
Here's a partial transcript.Amazing. I guess wrestling isn't the place you go for lessons in racial tolerance. All of its characters are extreme stereotypes, but that doesn't make this latest entry any easier to follow.
Announcer: "Yo, yo, yo, yo. Pop a 40 and check your rollies. It's Cryme Tyme."
[scene of stereotypical, cell phone-chatting white male walking through stereotypical ghetto.]
Announcer: "Oh snap. looks like homeboy made a wrong turn coming home from Banana Republic."
GenericWhiteGuy: "You know I haven't seen a Starbucks in like five blocks?"
Announcer: "You want coffee, G? Well, the good news is there's something tall black and smooth right behind you."
[on screen, stereotypical, large, menacing, black man approaches stereotypical cell phone-chatting white male walking through stereotypical ghetto.]
GenericWhiteGuy: "I think I'm in the hood."
Announcer: "The bad news is this ain't no venti skim latte. This is Cryme Tyme."

Associated Press
He doesn't know when the next vote may come, but U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin isn't giving up on broader gun buyer background checks.
The West Virginia Democrat continues to seek needed supporters for his proposal to expand checks to gun shows and online commercial sales.
Manchin's resolve is reflected in a TV ad that answers one aired by the National Rifle Association. Each has appeared on West Virginia stations this month.
After repeatedly endorsing Manchin, the NRA has attacked him over his role in the Capitol Hill gun debate. Manchin's response ad does not target the group but rather its top leaders, while touting his gun owner credentials.
An NRA spokesman says the existing background check system has serious flaws, and those must be fixed before any talk of expansion.

What to do with a spare $33,000
Buy one of these: the 2012 MV Agusta F4 RR.
It doesn't look much changed from last year, but under the plastic, it's a new beast with an ultra-short-stroke 1000cc Inline-4 that MV says will release 201HP. No top-speed-limiting governors for the Italian chaps at MV. The engine puts at the top of the superbike heap in terms of power.
Supporting the new bike are top-shelf Öhlins suspension components, and forged aluminum wheels.
Everything is top-of-the line on this bike. Sadly, that includes the price.

Gerard Butler
Butler famously beefed up for his role in 2007's 300, but in August 2011, he debuted a slimmer -- but still muscular! -- frame in Santa Monica, Calif. in August 2011. Of his slimdown, the actor tells Us Weekly: "I'm just doing a lot of cardio and watching what I eat. I stopped lifting big weights and I'm doing yoga."

The Town Council signed off Monday evening on up to $2.46 million in health and safety repairs to Barrington's six schools. About half of the cost of the work involves fire alarm systems and fire prevention.
The proposed scope of work came from the School Committee by way of the School Building Committee and consultants that have been assessing the schools for almost a year. The application now goes to the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE).
The health and safety work will bring all of the buildings up to the state's fire and building codes. The actual cost to Barrington taxpayers will be either 60 or 65 percent of the $2.46 million price tag depending on the reimbursement rate at the time of final approval by RIDE, said Ron Tarro, school finance director.
Approval on the application is anticipated by September.
Marc E. Zawatsky of Half Mile Road, chairman of the building committee, presented the scope of work to the councilors. He said spending could still be less because some new construction methods are being considered that could trim costs.
"We will also bundle packages (of work) as we can to trim costs," Zawatsky said.
The doors that lead into and out of the courtyards at the high school and middle school are examples of work that could cost less than proposed in the scope of work, he said. Re-swinging the doors in the proper direction is estimated right now to cost about $70,000.
Zawatsky said the building plan is still considered a "live document." It could be brought back to the Town Council in July with cheaper numbers.
Town Councilor Bill DeWitt questioned, in particular, the cost of the fire alarm systems: about $1.2 million – almost half of the expenditure.
"That's a lot of money," he said.
Zawatsky explained that the alarm systems to be installed can tell the fire department exactly where in a building smoke and fire has been detected. It gives firefighters a head-start in extinguishing a blaze.
"We pared this down to the absolute minimum," said Edward R. Frenette of SMMA (Symmes Maini & McKee Associates) of Providence, the consultant to the School Committee at a recent meeting. "You can always spend less."
Ron Tarro, director of finance, said previously that the administration will continue to evaluate the needs of each school and adjust spending as needed.
School Committee Chairman Patrick Guida has said: "If we don't have to do it, we won't."
The scope of work shows the following costs for each school:
- Barrington High School -- $885,609
- Barrington Middle School -- $464,841
- Hampden Meadows School -- $662,117
- Nayatt School -- $114,275
- Primrose Hill School -- $197,530
- Sowams School -- $139,930
Here is a look at some of the work and its costs at the high school:
- Replace railings in the stairs to the second floor ($13,648)
- Re-swing doors from courtyards to exist in proper direction ($32,756)
- Install fire shutters on openings to cafeteria from dishwasher ($$13,648)
- Create a second means of egress from the courtyards ($32,756)
- Replace toilet and urinal petitions in boy's locker room ($13,648)
- Upgrade toilet rooms adjacent to faculty dining room ($44,357)
- Replace all rooftop exhaust fans ($75,066)
- Emergency and exit lighting ($64,488)
- Make fire alarm modifications and upgrades ($444,835)
Here is a look at some of the work proposed for the middle school:
- Modify handrails and guard rails in corner stairwells to second floor ($40,945)
- Replace missing handrails and stair nosings at exits from the gym and girls locker room ($20,472)
- Replace and re-swing doors from courtyards to swing in proper direction ($27,292)
- Replace kitchen ceiling with washable ties ($23,065)
- Ceiling insulating panel needs replacement in boiler room ($20,472)
- Emergency and exit lighting ($50,157)
- Allowance to cover potential HVAC system failure ($180,000)
Most of the Hampden Meadows work involves adding smoke partitions at exit corridors, extending masonry walls to the underside of the roof deck, removing ceiling grid and tiles in corridors to access and seal those openings with metal studs and rated gypsum board, and giving all wall openings at least a 30-minute rating. The cost is more than $511,000.
The most significant work at Nayatt, Primrose Hill and Sowams schools involves modifying and upgrading the fire alarms at a cost of almost $79,000 each for the former two schools and almost $69,000 at Sowams. Each classroom at Sowams also needs exit windows at a cost of $30,000.

Coal exports expected to be down from 2012
The U.S. Energy Information Administration released its "Today in Energy" brief today, which details, among other things, coal exports from the U.S. According to the report, March had the highest number of coal exports yet. The top importing countries were China, the Netherlands, the UK, South Korea, and Brazil. The top five ports were all in the southern and eastern United States. Those ports exported over two and half times more coal in March alone than the Northwest ports did for all of 2012. Powder River Basin coal mostly ships from the Northwest. The report also says that though March set a new record for coal exports, 2013 is expected to total less than last year. That's due to continuing economic weakness in Europe, slowing Asian demand growth, increasing supply in other coal-exporting countries, and falling international coal prices.
