According to Les Miles, Tiger Stadium is where opponents' dreams go to die. As long as you narrow the definition of "dreams" to "hopes of winning", this has been true at night. Miles has only lost one night home game in his tenure in Baton Rouge.
Does that still hold this year? Do the Tigers play noticeably better at home than on the road? The lazy answer is a simple yes. Their best game was the 41-3 drubbing of Washington at home, and their worst game was their 12-10 escape against Auburn on the road. They lost to Florida on the road but beat South Carolina at home. Ipso facto, LSU plays better at home. Done and done.
Well, I'm not satisfied with the lazy answer. I decided to compare LSU's performance against non-cupcakes versus what its opponents have done against non-cupcakes. The tables here show the difference between what happened in LSU's games versus the season averages for these teams against BCS AQ conference teams. In short, it's all BCS AQ vs. BCS AQ action.
First up is offense:
Opponent | Site | YPC | Comp Pct. | Yds/Att. | Pass Eff. |
Washington | Home | -0.26 | +10.4% | +3.02 | +40.0 |
Auburn | Road | -1.07 | -12.9% | -1.61 | -41.7 |
Florida | Road | -1.36 | -6.0% | +0.84 | -3.9 |
South Carolina | Home | +1.75 | -8.3% | -0.47 | -16.7 |
Texas A&M | Road | +1.12 | -15.5% | -3.80 | -41.3 |
Here we can see that Washington really was Zach Mettenberger's best game relative to the opponent's average defensive performance. He was also pretty miserable against Auburn and Texas A&M, both road games. His performance against South Carolina was just a bit under expected in yards per attempt and passing efficiency, even if his completion percentage was down. The game against Florida looks from here like his second best, but it's skewed by a single 56-yard completion. Factor that out, and it's between his South Carolina and Auburn/A&M performances (though much closer to South Carolina). Mettenberger, it seems, does do better at home.
No such pattern emerges in respect to the rushing game. The two best games are far and away the most recent ones, which, not coincidentally, are the two in which Jeremy Hill has seen significant carries. The home/road narrative simply doesn't apply. The one about Hill rejuvenating the running attack, however, does.
On to defense:
Opponent | Site | YPC | Comp Pct. | Yds/Att. | Pass Eff. |
Washington | Home | -2.46 | -9.8% | -0.91 | -20.7 |
Auburn | Road | -0.08 | +0.7% | -2.39 | -33.5 |
Florida | Road | -1.21 | +1.4% | -2.04 | -27.8 |
South Carolina | Home | -2.17 | -7.4% | -2.51 | -36.1 |
Texas A&M | Road | -2.11 | -14.5% | -2.76 | -55.2 |
On the passing defense front, no home/road split pattern emerges. Washington did fairly well compared to the other four teams here, but easily the best job the defense did was against A&M in College Station. Against South Carolina at home was its second best, but then Auburn on the road was its third best.
With the rushing defense, again, there's no real pattern. Florida is the only team that really stands out as having a good rushing day, and yes it was a road game. What about Auburn, you say? Well, those Tigers are downright miserable at running, and they fared poorly against LSU. There's simply not much room to undercut Auburn's season average against BCS AQ teams. The other three teams here did about equally as bad running the ball on the Tigers' defense, so again, no wide home/road split is here.
Having looked at all of this, any juice that the Tigers will get from playing at home will likely be in the play of Mettenberger. But what does that even mean? He had one really good game against a mediocre Pac-12 team that was playing a long way from home. Against the SEC competition, in nearly every category I looked at he was below what the opponents give up on average against BCS AQ teams.
For Mettenberger just putting up what Alabama allows on average would be a good game, and that presents a problem. I used Alabama's season averages against BCS AQ schools and Mettenberger's average attempts per game against BCS AQ competition (24.8, rounded to 25) to project a line for him. Rounding to the nearest whole number, he'd go 12-for-25 (48.0%) for 132 yards (5.28 YPA), 0 TDs, 2 INTs, and a passing efficiency of 76.4. I don't think that line is good enough to get LSU a win. It's far too many attempts, for one, and that many turnovers would be big trouble.
Of course, five games is not that big a sample size to draw from. LSU, like every team, doesn't stay even at the averages across games. Sometimes they're better; sometimes they're worse. The Tigers definitely need a game where they come out better, and playing at home probably helps that more than playing on the road would. With that said, little about this season so far suggests that we should see a dramatically better performance this weekend than past weekends from them solely because they're playing at home.

Despite an unusually wet year, South Georgia farmers are optimistic about the cotton harvest that's now underway.
Planting was delayed in the spring due to rain but Turner County Extension Agent Scott Utley says this year should still turn out to be good.
"We've had some big rainfall events and we were worried about them at one time that it would leech out our fertilizer and cause some drowned out areas, which it has," Utley said. "Overall, it actually benefited this year's crop."
Utley says about 10 to 15-percent of the cotton crop has already been harvested.

March/April 2010
Hydrophobic interface mimics hairs on spider
Engineering researchers have crafted a flat surface that refuses to get wet. Water droplets skitter across it like ball bearings tossed on ice.
University of Florida engineers have achieved what they label in a new paper as a "nearly perfect hydrophobic interface" by reproducing, on small bits of flat plastic, the shape and patterns of the minute hairs that grow on the bodies of spiders, according to ScienceDaily.
"They have short hairs and longer hairs, and they vary a lot. And that is what we mimic," said Wolfgang Sigmund, a professor of materials science and engineering.
Spiders use their water-repelling hairs to stay dry or avoid drowning, with water spiders capturing air bubbles and toting them underwater to breathe. When water scampers off the surface, it picks up and carries dirt with it, in effect making the surface self-cleaning. As such, it is ideal for some food packaging, or windows, or solar cells that must stay clean to gather sunlight, Sigmund said. Boat designers might coat hulls with it, making boats faster and more efficient.
Sigmund said he began working on the project about five years ago after picking up on the work of a colleague. Sigmund was experimenting with microscopic fibers when he turned to spiders, noted by biologists for at least a century for their water-repelling hairs.
As a scientist and engineer, he said, his natural tendency was to make all his fibers the same size and distance apart. But he learned that spider hairs are both long and short and variously curved and straight, forming a surface that is anything but uniform. He decided to try to mimic this random, chaotic surface using plastic hairs varying in size but averaging about 600 microns, or millionths of a meter.
Water-repelling surfaces or treatments are already common, spanning shoe wax to caulk to car windshield treatments. However, Sigmund said the UF surface may be the most or among the most water phobic. Close-up photographs of water droplets on dime-sized plastic squares show the droplets maintain their spherical shape, whether standing still or moving. Droplets bulge down on most other surfaces, dragging a kind of tail as they move. Sigmund said his surface is the first to shuttle droplets with no tail.
Also, unlike many water-repelling surfaces, the UF one relies entirely on the microscopic shape and patterns of the material—rather than its composition. In other words, physics, not chemistry, is what makes it water repellent.
Sigmund said making the water or oil-repelling surfaces involves applying a hole-filled membrane to a polymer, heating the two, and then peeling off the membrane. Made gooey by the heat, the polymer comes out of the holes in the desired thin, randomly sized fibers. While inexpensive, it is hard to produce successful surfaces with great reliability, and different techniques need to be developed to make the surfaces in commercially available quantities and size, Sigmund said. Also, he said, more research is needed to make the surfaces hardy and resistant to damage.

Brilliantly evoking the long-vanished world of masters and servants portrayed in "Downton Abbey" and "Upstairs, Downstairs," Margaret Powell's classic memoir of her time in service, "Below Stairs, " is the remarkable true story of an indomitable woman who, though she served in the great houses of England, never stopped aiming high. Powell first arrived at the servants' entrance of one of those great houses in the 1920s. As a kitchen maid - the lowest of the low - she entered an entirely new world; one of stoves to be blacked, vegetables to be scrubbed, mistresses to be appeased, and bootlaces to be ironed. Work started at 5.30am and went on until after dark. It was a far cry from her childhood on the beaches of Hove, where money and food were scarce, but warmth and laughter never were. Yet from the gentleman with a penchant for stroking the housemaids' curlers, to raucous tea-dances with errand boys, to the heartbreaking story of Agnes the pregnant under-parlormaid, fired for being seduced by her mistress's nephew, Margaret's tales of her time in service are told with wit, warmth, and a sharp eye for the prejudices of her situation. Margaret Powell's true story of a life spent in service is a fascinating "downstairs" portrait of the glittering, long-gone worlds behind the closed doors of Downton Abbey and 165 Eaton Place.

Posted: 6:49 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, 2009
By Jamie Dupree
Yet another high profile nominee of President Obama has been forced to amend tax returns and pay back taxes to Uncle Sam.
The latest is Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who is Obama's nominee for Health and Human Services Secretary.
She amended her returns - after they were reviewed by a hired accountant - which resulted in three years of amended returns and paid almost $8,000 in back taxes and interest.
They were characterized as "unintentional errors.
This news again begs the question - "Can't anyone of these Obama nominees do their taxes right?"
So what were the errors?
Some letters backing up charitable contributions in excess of $250 couldn't be found; there was a discrepancy involving a mortgage interest deduction; and a lack of documentation for some business related expenses.
In other words, chump change stuff. But mistakes on taxes are mistakes.
Sebelius didn't fess up to the tax issues during a hearing before the Senate Health Committee on Tuesday. Instead, it rolled out to the media during dinnertime.
Wouldn't a simpler tax system make sense at this point in time?
The answer is, of course it would. But both parties have too much skin in the game in the current system.

About Me Value Oriented
These boas are nice for the price. They do shed a lot of feathers but if you spray them with a soft hold hairspray before you use them it is much better.

Horrible shedding
By Wendy
from northern va
Product looked great but shed feathers everywhere. Group was accused of littering at one stop we made! Each end of the boas had a large knot that stuck out of the feathers -- it was awful. Vacuumed 4x and I'm still finding feathers .

text: Last month, Human Rights Watch [advocacy website] (HRW) called for an investigation into alleged war crimes [JURIST report] committed during the recent conflict between the government of Yemen and Shiite Huthi Rebels. According to HRW's report, the February truce between the factions has not resulted in any meaningful inquiry into air strikes on populated villages, indiscriminate violence, summary executions, and child soldiers, among other alleged violations. In February, Canadian citizen Maher Arar [advocacy website; JURIST news archive] asked the US Supreme Court [official website] to overturn a lower court ruling [JURIST report] that he cannot sue the US government for damages based on his detention, interrogation, and torture in Syria after he was mistakenly identified as a terrorist. Last year, HRW urged Jordan to restore its rule of law [JURIST report] by ending extrajudicial detentions of crime victims, personal enemies, and persons freed by the courts.

Foot Blister Prevention: What You Can Recommend To Athletes
- Volume 15 - Issue 4 - April 2002
- 56163 reads
- 0 comments
Foot blisters are among the most common injuries for athletes. According to research from the Scholl, over 5.2 million people suffer blisters every year. In a study of lower extremity injuries that occurred at the New York City Marathon, the most common foot problems reported were acute shear and stress injuries resulting in blister formation.
Aside from being painful, blisters can alter an athlete's running form and lead to even more serious injuries of the leg and hip due to irregular gait biomechanics.
Blisters result from frictional forces that mechanically separate epidermal cells at the level of the stratum spinosum. Hydrostatic pressure causes the area of the separation to fill with lymph-like fluid. The magnitude of the frictional forces and the number of times an object cycles across the skin determine the probability of blister development.
The higher the frictional forces, the fewer cycles are necessary to produce a blister. Moist skin increases frictional forces, leading to blister formation, while very dry or very wet skin decreases frictional forces, preventing blisters. Other risk factors for foot blister formation include ethnicity (African-Americans are at lower risk than others), flat feet and feet with structural prominences, such as bunions, hammertoes and Haglund's deformity.
Tips About Shoes, Insoles And Socks You Can Pass On To Patients
In order to prevent blisters, we need to minimize friction. This begins with shoe selection. Emphasize to patients that their shoes should fit comfortably, with about a thumb's width (3/8-inch to 1/2-inch) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. Narrow shoes can cause blisters on the hallux and fifth toe. A shallow toe box can lead to blisters on the tops of the toes, while loose shoes often create blisters on the tips of the toes.
Shoes should be sport specific. When trying on shoes, athletes should wear the same sock, insoles or orthotic inserts they wear when playing or working out. Encourage them to get shoes fitted in the afternoon or evening, since feet tend to swell during the day. Athletes should wear their shoes around the house for one to two hours to identify any areas of discomfort. It often helps to break in shoes by wearing them for one to two hours on the first day of sports activity and gradually increase use each day.
However, even if shoes fit well, the insoles (or sock liners) could cause problems if they have worn out or flattened down. Remind athletes to check the condition of the insoles periodically and replace them if necessary. A new OTC insole (such as those manufactured by Spenco Medical Corporation) can keep friction to a minimum. Also encourage runners to examine the inside of footwear for seams or rough areas that often correspond to the sites of blisters.
Emphasizing the proper socks also can decrease friction and prevent blister formation. Socks made from synthetic blends are best. Socks made from polypropylene or other new synthetic materials can wick moisture away from the skin more effectively than wool or cotton, further decreasing the likelihood of blisters. Layering socks or special double-layered socks can further minimize shearing forces. If your athletes wear socks with large toe seams, tell them that wearing the socks inside out can help prevent blisters on the tops of their toes. It is also a good idea for athletes to carry an extra pair of socks to change into if their socks become too damp.

Did you know that Sun Salutation is not just physical exercise for weight loss? This beautiful set of yoga postures work not only on the body but also on the mind and at the spiritual level.
If you have been doing Sun Salutation so far only to shed off those extra inches, here's some food for thought. This wonderful gift of yoga, if practiced regularly, can work wonders for every part of the body – from head to toe! Yes, Sun Salutation (also known as Surya Namaskar) is a set of 12 yoga postures that helps improve overall health and well being.
True, the Sun Salutation sequence, if done at a fast pace can be a good way to lose weight and is an excellent cardiovascular workout as well – stretching and toning the muscles in the entire body. But that's not all. This yoga sequence improves the circulation of blood throughout the body and helps in maintaining good health by ensuring a disease-free body. Daily practice of Surya Namaskar has numerous benefits to offer for the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory system.
Different organs of our body are governed by different Gods. The solar plexus, or the navel, is connected with the Sun (for which reason it is called the "solar" plexus). Although Sun Salutation can be practiced at any time of the day, morning or evening, it is a good idea to do it at the time of sunrise. When the first rays of the Sun fall on the solar plexus, it is good for the body.
"The solar plexus is connected with the sun, that's why it is called "solar" plexus. When the first rays of the sun fall on the solar plexus, it is very good for your body. Doing Surya Namaskar ("sun salutation") yoga asana in the early morning is very good."
- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (excerpt from the talk Padmanabha - The lotus navel)
Usually, the navel is slightly bigger in size than an almond. Studies have shown that with the practice of yoga, Sun Salutation, meditation, and Sudarshan Kriya, the solar plexus can become as large as the size of the palm. It then performs better, balances the body functions. When the solar plexus contracts, depression and other kinds of negative emotions come up. When it expands, the intuitive mind works better, becoming more clear and focused.
As Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says, "Lord Krishna was called Padmanabha, meaning 'whose navel is the size of a lotus flower'. If you become Padmanabha, you become absolutely creative."
The solar plexus has a profound impact on the central nervous system, optic nerves, stomach, and what we usually call the 'gut feeling' or intuition. Solar plexus is also considered the second brain in the body. And Surya Namaskar directly works on this important organ.
Besides offering physical benefits, the Sun Salutation practice also helps calm the mind. Doing a few rounds of Surya Namaskar at an easy pace can be very relaxing and meditative. And adding a touch of gratitude to the Sun, chanting mantras while doing Sun Salutation, adds a whole spiritual dimension to the practice, making it more sacred.
What's more! The physical and spiritual benefits of Sun Salutation are not just for adults to enjoy. Surya Namaskar is equally a lot of fun for children, while individually addressing particular parts of their body, both anatomically and physiologically. You can make your child learn Sun Salutation at the Art Excel Course and the Yes! Course by The Art of Living.
So, the next time you practice Sun Salutation, know that it's benefiting you at different levels. Simply being aware of this can help enhance your experience and help you go deeper in your practice.
Written by Pritika Nair based on talks by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Surya Namaskar DVD.

First let me say, I DO NOT work for this company! I purchase my wipes at our local grocery store. I do believe I have the new wipes, they say "Improved! thicker and softer" but the baby on our package doesn't look like the baby on this website. Anywho, so assuming we have the NEW wipes, we love them and have NEVER expierienced the soapy, sudsy, mess almost everyone is complaining about on here. I am not sure why there are so many negative reviews, honestly these wipes we purchase are great! They are definitely thicker than huggies and pampers but I like that. They clean our Son's bottom great and I use them for everything else.....wiping his face, his highchair tray, his utensils when we are out and not near water. Love them.
I am horrified that a company i turn to for responsible environmental solutions has added a large unnecessary piece of plastic to every wipes package! what's the impact of THAT on the next 7 generations?! neither am i happy about the new synthesized ingredient that i can't find a good explanation of. Tell 7th Gen to ditch the plastic and explain or remove the new phosphate ingredient!
New wipes are horrible! Thicker is nice, but they are much rougher and don't do as good a job cleaning up the mess.
Going back to the Whole Foods brand which is much better and about the same price.
I really hate to leave bad reviews for anything; people's experiences are so subjective. But after seeing the commonalities in reviews here, I have to weigh in as well, in the hopes that Seventh Generation will listen to their customers and revert to their old product.
We started using these wipes in earnest; I'm not opposed to a better formula (even if it means there are six less wipes per package, with no reduction in price). However, I was immediately disappointed to see that they were thicker (why?), and that I needed to actually wring them out to remove excess liquid; my daughter's behind was incredibly damp and I had to use a hair dryer to help dry her before putting on her diaper.
I moved from disappointed to infuriated when I found that my daughter developed a huge rash after using these wipes. Red and bumpy and PAINFUL for her. She's screamed through every diaper change since this rash developed. We had two extra packs of the old formula wipes, and have reverted to those in the past week...and her rash is going down.
Nothing else in her diet, diaper cream, etc had changed, and she's been rash-free for months prior to this -- between this process-of-elimination and the reviews here, I am confident these wipes are the issue.
Seventh Generation, I'd like to (at the very least) hear a response that indicates you at least hear these issues. You're losing customers by the day. You've just lost this one. I'm off to find some other brand of wipes.
i never would buy the old wipes as the value and performance could not compare with earth's best. they were 5 wipes per use instead of 1.suddenly this new packaging arrived and in a pinch we bought a pack and were so relieved! they are functional and great! a bargain even. we have used them exclusively ever since. thanks!
~angela, sam and little easton
wow, after reading all the others i am shocked. maybe you should just make both and keep separate. i would never bother with the old ones, such a waste of money.

The problem is one of definition--or of cognitive dissonance. In Massachusetts, lot of people who live conservative lifestyles--they work, they pay taxes, they attend church or synagogue, they have traditional families, they abide by the law--vote liberal. But they´ll describe themselves as conservative, because they live as conservatives do. Click Here if you Like this Comment
The difference people who are persoanlly conservative who vote liberal or stay home from the polls. This is what Limbaugh has been saying since he was in diapers,run as an unabashed conservative and you´ll win.The republicans can´t get this through their skull and that´s why Dr. Carson because an overnight conservative rock star.Romney´s tough sell was getting rid of Obamacare while not admitting his own plan failed.People know the difference between a real conservative and a contrived one. Dole,Bush sr,McCain and Romney,not a hardballer among them.W. Bush ran a conservative platform but failed in office when he tried to make friends with the left. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Pretty much shows the GOP is way off in its zeal to move to the left. They think they can keep conservatives hoodwinked, but the game is up, in reality.You´re on your own, republicans. Good luck. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
Conservatives have such a majority that they lose elections.Non sequitur. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
Conservatives need to remember that the term "conservative" means different things to different people. Many people who are very conservative in fiscal terms were aghast at the conservative who opined about a woman´s ´natural´ barrier against rape. I spoke to a conservative the other day; in every turn of the conversation, he wanted to know if the person being discussed was white or black.Conservatism has nothing to do with rape. It has nothing to do with skin color. If conservatives want to regain power, they need to forcefully define conservatism and get rid of these vestiges of prejudice. There is zero reason for conservatism to be associated with prejudice...only that conservatives permit such jaundiced views in their midst. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

#1 is correct. The same phenomenon affects candidates. The Republican Party often runs candidates who claim the banner of conservatism but are ineffective at defending it. This has several negative effects. First, they espouse conservative ideas unconvincingly and lose the argument. Second, when they lose the election, it is perceived as a defeat for conservatism as opposed to a loss by an individual. Conscious of these risks, conservatives go to great lengths to define conservatism in restrictive ways, which tends to alienate potential supporters who resent "purity tests" being applied to them and their candidates. So we all lose.I have two suggestions. First, be honest. It is possible to concede that GOP candidate R is not really a conservative and still recognize that he is more conservative than Democrat candidate D. Second, be fair. Every so often, just to keep recalcitrant reactionaries like myself on board, let´s run a real conservative and see what happens. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
#s 1 and 5 are correct. The description "conservative" means very different things to people in various parts of the country and even side-by-side neighbors. I´m not sure where anyone got the idea that all self-described conservatives had to believe exactly the same on all issues or lose the right to be considered conservative. Let´s focus on the economy, because I think most of us agree on what is the problem, and probably how we got here. We diverge on what should be done next. But, we are still conservatives. We have different solutions to immigration reform (which is not really a liberal vs conservative issue at all, but a national security problem). Where the whole conservative movement blows up is when some try to fit all of us into tight little molds in social discussions.It´s my opinion that if anyone, anywhere in the country, wants to help get good Republicans elected, I don´t care if they call themselves conservative , and I´m danged sure not going to tell them they are not.

FTA:The Battleground Poll, perhaps the most respected bipartisan poll, has also consistently shown that conservatives dramatically outnumber liberals in America. Even in December 2012, after Obama had won re-election, Question D3 of that poll showed Americans identifying themselves thus: "Very Conservative" (20%), "Somewhat Conservative" (39%), "Moderate" (2%), "Somewhat Liberal" (24%), "Very Liberal" (12%), and "Unsure" (3%). My conclusion is that the only reason Dim´Rats EVER win is ... ´community organizing´, i.e., fraud. Mega-fraud.With the enemedia. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
Somedays L-dot Trolls make absolutely no sense, but then I guess they see their mission as one to "muddy" the waters. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Some are fiscally conservative, and some are socially conservative. Some will be both.Fiscal responsibility and job creation is the way to winning elections.We have massive oil, natural gas and coal that we need to be developing, using and exporting.This is NEW revenues that will help support teachers, police and firefighters, and Democrats are against it, which opens up opportunity to pull significant sections of those groups, and the people who support them, over to the Republican side.The development will need pipelines, will need steel, construction workers, transportation(truckers) which in-turn will need new equipment, parts, etc...This new revenue stream will balance budgets, fund pensions, and should be enough to fund alternative energy projects that will help the environment going-forward.The takeaway from the article is the president, his Cabinet, and most of the elected Democrats are in the minority since they´re liberal/progressives. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
Look, I realize that 39% at ´Somewhat Conservative´ leaves a lot of wiggle room and I´m not really suggesting that there are enough ´traditional´ conservatives to overwhelm the electorate. But I am fed up with the progressive attempts to either redefine ´traditional conservatism´ - that´s the one that believes in strict adherence to the Constitution and limited government if you want to call those litmus tests - or to marginalize it.Those ´somewhat conservatives´, if you get the government out of their faces, will be very pleased with the growth of their businesses; the increase in their paychecks; the lack of government hacks breathing down their neck or charging them ´fees´ or ´fines´ every time they do something. Some of them will even move into the ranks of the ´very conservative´. But they won´t get that chance if the option is never offered and we seem to have party leaders that want to keep that option off the table.And if it is true that we have reached the responsibility tipping point and the majority are going to vote for whomever promises them the most, then the whole conservative v progressive argument means nothing anymore anyway. We are finished as a nation. All that´s left is waiting for the coin to spin down into the little black hole.Please don´t forget though, not everything we are told is the truth. Many of the lies are deliberate and for a purpose. I don´t believe we should ever give up. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
#13....Excellent post. Most of us with intelligence know what you say is true. It is the LoFo´s and the DDE´s (that´s Dumbed Down Educated) cannot comprehend any of it.Two things hurting us. Those who are educated as Marxist and not American, and those who have traded their work ethic for freebees. That is how people like Obama get into office. Liberals have no clue what "shame" means even though they live in it. Click Here if you Like this Comment
#14, I would be willing to bet everyone on this thread believes in "strict adherence to the Constitution and limited government". That´s what the original tea party movement was all about. But too many of us insist on adding in a lot of other stuff, so that we can´t match up if we voted for Mitt Romney, if Rick Santorum alarmed us, if we think Tod Akin wasn´t electable and that we frighten Hispanic voters.. If we stick to our original goals, we can find, recruit and elect good people., Click Here if you Like this Comment
The assertion that Conservatism means different things to different people at different times is arrant cant, from the predictable suspects. At its core, conservatism, while dynamic rather than static, holds to ageless traditional order, rules and values. Any political and social philosophy defines its adherents; not the other way around. This is the reason there is no such critter as a Catholic Muslim. The crux of the problem for conservatives has always been republicanism; a secular, progressive and corporatist ideology devoid of core principle; and the catalyst for this long overdue fight.

Home ›6/3/2013 MinneCulture
During the coldest days of winter, an "Earth Train" departed from St. Paul, carrying dozens of artists, activists and regular folks from Minnesota to Washington, DC. On board were KFAI producers Barbara Jean Meyers and Melissa Koch. Along the way they interviewed passengers including Kevin Kling, Louise Erdrich, Prudence Johnson and others, about why they were making the journey. Many were inspired by Bill McKibben, co-founder of 350.org, who believes that the Keystone XL pipeline wound be the final nail in the coffin for planet Earth.
On February 17, advocates gathered at the nation's Capitol for Forward on Climate to protest Keystone and draw attention to global warming. Nearly 50,000 people assembled to promote environmental stewardship, making it the largest rally on climate change in U.S. history. Tipping the Scale is an audio documentary that chronicles this historic event; this is Part I. Tune into MinneCulture on Wed, June 5, for Part II.
And hear producers Melissa Koch and Barbara Jean Meyers discuss their experiences live on the Morning Blend this Wed, June 5, at 7:30am.

Air France-KLM saw freight traffic plunge 6.6 percent, year-over-year, in September, a drop in line with the declines the combined carrier recorded in the first eight months of the year. In response to the lower volumes, AF-KLM cut freight capacity by 4.4 percent, year-over-year, last month. Despite curbing capacity in September, Air France-KLM saw freight load factor fall 1.4 percent, year-over-year, to 63.2 percent. Even so, this is a slight improvement from the carrier's August load factor — 60.6 percent — and on par with AF-KLM's eight-month statistics; the combined carrier's cargo load factor dropped to 63.5 percent in the first eight months of 2012, a 2.5-percent, year-over-year, decline. Sluggish traffic to the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions has plagued AF-KLM all year long. Although the carrier recorded slight month-over-month growth in both of these regions, AF-KLM's September freight volumes were still markedly lower than those in September 2011. Volumes to the Asia-Pacific slid 10.1 percent, year-over-year, in September, while AF-KLM's capacity to this region plunged 14.7 percent, year-over-year. The carrier actually increased capacity to the Americas region, offering 2.3-percent more freight space than in September 2011. Capacity outmatched demand, however; AF-KLM's freight volumes to the Americas slid 4.7 percent, year-over-year, in September. Traffic to the Americas also fell from a nine-month perspective, tumbling 6.8 percent, year-over-year. AF-KLM's tonnage to Africa/the Middle East dropped steadily in the first nine months of 2012, as well. Freight volumes were 6.2-percent lower than in January-to-September 2011, according to a press release. The carrier saw less drastic declines to Africa/the Middle East in September; volumes only dropped 4.3 percent, year-over-year. AF-KLM's performance in the Caribbean/Indian Ocean region bucked the trend, however. In addition to increasing capacity by 7.6 percent, year-over-year, the carrier recorded a 5.9-percent, year-over-year, hike in cargo volumes in September. Growth to this region was flat from a nine-month perspective, although AF-KLM's capacity surged 6.9 percent from January-to-September 2011.
