Things Look Bad
Count me in with the crew that is pessimistic about the next few months or longer but with so many things looking so bad maybe this is a washing out?
One problem with that idea is the market is not down that much. 1997 and 1998 both had 20% drops that were not terror induced. The current market has hardly dropped at all.
Twenty years ago the automotive and airline industries were very important to the stock market and the economy. Their current struggles were probably unimaginable back then, especially GM. I wrote a lot out GM back in the spring. I can sum up my thoughts by saying it has $300 billion in debt, and will need more, with only $30 billion or so in cash.
That GM could fail was an impossibility way back when. The lesson here should be that any company can fail, any company. Market history has plenty of huge companies that one way or another are gone. I wouldn't call Digital Equipment's merger with Compaq a merger of strength, as an example.
The idea changes buy and hold to buy, monitor and hold, for those who are devoted to buy and hold at all.

The difference ( imho ) between "Now and Then" is that now, a company can declare BK, and keep on running...making cars, boats, telephony, you name it. The only losers are the stock and bond holders; which the press is all too happy to point out that the "rich get what they deserve for being greedy". Companies will go through the period, issue new stock to new buyers, and all is well.
Names? Kmart, Worldcom, ICO Global, just to name a FEW. - 6:51 AM

Yes, the A/D ratio, lack of volume on advancing days look bad for the US market. I am more than just surprised that the world market has not been dragged down by the US market as it did before. Could it mean that the other world(non-US) economy and influence have exceeded the US that we lost our preeminent position, as British empire fell some years ago. I am holding on to my gold and international funds and have 30% of my positions hedged with QQQQ puts.

The digital divide refers to the gap between those who have access to technology and those who do not. Back in the heady days of the dot-com boom everything was out of proportion, including political rhetoric. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, for example, called the digital divide "classic apartheid," the NAACP's Kweisi Mfume dubbed it "technological segregation," and President Clinton urged a "national crusade."
But a new report from the Department of Commerce (DOC), "A Nation online: How Americans are expanding their use of the Internet," helps to explain why the digital divide is not a crisis that places citizens in urgent need of more government help.
More than half the population of the United States is now online, an increase of 26 million people in 13 months, and the number continues to grow. The report also shows that Internet use is continuing to increase for everyone regardless of income, education, age, race, ethnicity or gender. Even groups not historically "early adopters" are growing their online presence. For instance, the DOC report shows that 39.8 percent of blacks and 31.6 percent of Hispanics are online.
What might be the most remarkable finding of the DOC report is that "between December 1998 and September 2001, Internet use by individuals in the lowest income households (those earning less than $15,000 per year) increased at a 25 percent annual growth rate." In 2001, 25 percent of lower income people were online, and if things continue at this rate, it won't be long before virtually everyone who wants to connect can.
Further, last week, Jupiter Media Metrix reported that the age of online shoppers is moving up while the income level drops. In other words, those on the Net are starting to look a lot more like the real world population. This is a good time to re-evaluate some of the assumptions that fed the digital divide hysteria.
This is a good time to re-evaluate some of the assumptions that fed the digital divide hysteria.
The DOC report proves that even lower income people can get wired if they see it as a priority. And that's no surprise given all the investment that local community groups and technology companies have spent on promoting access over the last couple of years. Those who cannot get online in this environment have other problems that a computer and Internet access won't fix.
Technology is not a silver bullet that will solve all social and economic problems. This will disappoint those who believed President Clinton when he said, "Technology can be the greatest equalizing force our society or any other has ever known." If digital divide crusaders really want to solve the world's inequities, they should direct their efforts toward key issues that mattered before the advent of high technology. Promoting economic growth would be a good place to start.
Education is probably the most important issue that affects the ability to benefit from technology. Unless people can read and understand what they find on the Internet, all the computers and networks in the world won't be of much use. Taxes are another important consideration.
The real issues are the sorry state of education and the push to raise the taxes that affect lower income families most.
The digital divide is not a crisis, and it is certainly not the civil liberties issue of the 21st century. The real issues are the sorry state of education and the push to raise the taxes that affect lower income families most.
Education and tax reform move a lot slower than the speed of technology. If they want to help low-income Americans, that's the gap policy-makers should seek to close.

Join the conversation! Add your comment- This article should tell you something about the "right-wing" Pacific Research Institute. Here is a sample of their propaganda "In 2001, 25 percent of lower income people were online, and if things continue at this rate, it won't be long before virtually everyone who wants to connect can". In 2009 9 out of 10 households with income over $100,000 use Broadband at home compared to 20% of households under 20k. Eight years after this article was written the digital divide is still real.

Stark Sands received his second Tony Award nomination April 30. The actor, who was previously nominated for Journey's End, earned his first Leading Actor in a Musical nomination for his performance as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots and finds himself alongside co-star Billy Porter in the same category for the 2013 Tonys. Although the actors will go toe to toe for Broadway's biggest prize, Sands admitted that he's been rooting for Porter all along. The two-time Tony nominee, who has also been seen on Broadway in American Idiot, wasn't giving himself enough credit at the May 1 Tony Awards press junket. His dynamic performance in the new Broadway musical is parallel with Porter's. His voice soars on Lauper's "The Soul of a Man," and his argumentative confrontations with Porter on stage at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre burn right through the character of Lola. Also, who could resist the dashing leading man when he takes his bow in a pair of red leather "Kinky Boots"?
Congratulations on your Tony nomination! How excited are you?

SS: I'm pretty excited. I'm flabbergasted, you know. I was rooting for my co-star, Billy Porter, and some other performances that I've seen this season, so when they said my name, I kind of blacked out a little bit. My wife started running around the room crying and screaming, and it's just an absolute honor — just to be recognized at all — especially in a season like this, where there are so many commendable performances that, I think, deserve to be nominated. I am honored.
SS: I've been campaigning for Billy Porter since Chicago for this, and I'm not going to stop now. There's no competitiveness at all. I am telling everyone to vote for Billy because I think he deserves it. I couldn't do the show without him, and my job — as I've seen it — has been to facilitate this story and to assist Billy and help him give a fabulous performance. So I feel like I've been doing my job, and I'm going to keep doing it.

You and Billy share that touching moment in the show, "I'm Not My Father's Son." What was that like last night following the announcement of the Tony nominations?
SS: The whole show was incredible last night because, obviously, we're riding a wave — not just me and Billy. It's Annaleigh Ashford and [choreographer] Jerry Mitchell and [book writer] Harvey Fierstein and [composer-lyricist] Cyndi Lauper and [scenic designer] David Rockwell and [costume designer] Gregg Barnes, [lighting designer] Kenny Posner, [sound designer] John Schivers — everybody that conceivably could have been nominated got nominated, so everybody was excited. And the audience was excited, too — they could feel it. It was just on another level last night. I was running on fumes a little bit, in a way, because I'd been up all morning, and I didn't get a nap, but it was great. Specifically for that moment — for me and Billy — it [was] the one part of the show where our director didn't… He kept his hands off of it. When we first staged it a year-and-a-half ago, he told us, "You guys do whatever you want for this. Move when you want to move. Stand when you want to stand. Sit when you want to sit. I just want to see what happens." And, the way that we did it the first time is the way that it stayed — in terms of physical movement. And, he's never given us any overarching notes about it because it's honest, and it's been honest from the beginning.

The Itchy & Scratchy Show is a fictional animated television series which is featured in the animated television series The Simpsons. It usually appears as a part of The Krusty the Clown Show, watched regularly by Bart and Lisa Simpson. Itself an animated cartoon, The Itchy & Scratchy Show depicts an anthropomorphic blue mouse, Itchy (voiced by Dan Castellaneta), who repeatedly kills an anthropomorphic black cat, Scratchy (voiced by Harry Shearer). The cartoon first appeared in the Tracey Ullman Show short "The Bart Simpson Show," which originally aired November 20, 1988. The cartoon's first appearance in The Simpsons was in the 1990 episode "There's No Disgrace Like Home." Typically presented as 15-to-60-second-long cartoons, the show is filled with over-the-top violence. The Simpsons also occasionally features characters who are involved with the production of The Itchy & Scratchy Show, including Roger Meyers, Jr. (voiced by Alex Rocco and Hank Azaria), who runs the studio and produces the show.
Itchy and Scratchy are based on the cartoons Tom and Jerry and Herman and Katnip, and their names were inspired by "Pixie and Dixie," who were mice on the cartoon show Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks. The cartoons have since become popular among the show's writers and animators and are often added when an episode needs expanding. As the shorts became popular with fans, the writers decided to have full episodes that centered around the production of The Itchy & Scratchy Show and featured multiple shorts. The first was "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge" (season two, 1990), which was a commentary on censorship. Other episodes to feature the show include "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" (season four, 1992), "The Front" (season four, 1993), "Itchy & Scratchy Land" (season six, 1994), "The Day the Violence Died" (season seven, 1996) and "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" (season eight, 1997).
Role in The Simpsons[edit]
The Itchy & Scratchy Show is a show within a show that appears occasionally in episodes of The Simpsons. They typically appear in the form of 15-60 second cartoons that are filled with over-the-top violence, usually initiated by Itchy the mouse against Scratchy the cat; Itchy is almost always the victor.[1] Itchy & Scratchy airs as a segment on the Krusty the Klown show and also aired on its brief replacement on both Sideshow Bob's show, Cavalcade of Whimsy, and Gabbo.[2]
The Itchy & Scratchy show is usually a parody of traditional cartoons or takeoffs on famous films, but the plot and content are always violent. The most direct and obvious example is Tom and Jerry, an animated series which was also about a constant battle between a cat and a mouse, with the mouse usually victorious. Itchy and Scratchy also includes shorts such as Scratchtasia, a parody of Fantasia, and Pinitchio, a parody of Pinocchio.[3] Itchy & Scratchy are often used for animation-related jokes. For example, the Manhattan Madness cartoon in "The Day the Violence Died" is based on very early animated cartoons such as Gertie the Dinosaur.[4] Itchy and Scratchy often play out an exaggerated form of the conflict in the surrounding episode. For example, in "Deep Space Homer" (season five, 1994), Homer is recruited by NASA, and later watches an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon which directly (and gruesomely) parodies the films 2001: A Space Odyssey and Alien.[5]
Fictional production history[edit]
Chester J. Lampwick invented Itchy in 1919, but the character was stolen by Roger Meyers.[6] Scratchy starred in his first cartoon in 1928, titled That Happy Cat. The film, a 13-second-long animation showing the cat whistling and tipping his hat, did very poorly commercially. Later that year, Itchy and Scratchy starred in their first cartoon together entitled Steamboat Itchy, a violent parody of Disney's Steamboat Willie.[7] Along with the cartoon shorts, Itchy and Scratchy were featured in a World War II-era radio series,[8] at least two films—Pinitchio and Scratchtasia,[9] and television commercials for Laramie Cigarettes.[10]
Itchy and Scratchy Studios is run by Roger Meyers, Jr., the son of Roger Meyers, the cartoon's "creator." Itchy and Scratchy Studios was bankrupted after it was sued by Lampwick for $800 billion, but was saved after receiving a large cash settlement from the government over its use of Mr. ZIP.[6] The show underwent a non-violent retooling following a protest campaign led by Marge Simpson, but after Marge was later discredited, it returned to its original violent format.[11] Itchy and Scratchy has spawned an Academy Award-winning film adaptation,[7] amusement parks,[9] and a musical,[12] and like Krusty's show localized versions are produced for other countries, such as Jamaica's The Itchem and Scratchem Blow.[13]
The Itchy & Scratchy Show[edit]
Itchy and Scratchy are the main characters in the show. The duo first appeared in The Tracey Ullman Show short "The Bart Simpson Show," which aired November 20, 1988. Their first appearance in The Simpsons was "There's No Disgrace Like Home."[14] Itchy, voiced by Dan Castellaneta, is a blue mouse, and usually the aggressor and the victor over the hapless Scratchy in their battles. An exception is in "Homer Goes to College" (season five, 1993). Bart and Lisa watch a cartoon called "Burning Down the Mouse," as Lisa puts it, "This is the one where Scratchy finally gets Itchy." However, due to the Simpsons' television being unplugged, the viewer does not see the end of the cartoon and Krusty proclaims that the network will never let it be shown again.[15] Scratchy, voiced by Harry Shearer, is a black cat and is the victim of much abuse from the sadistic Itchy. The writers often forget which character is which; a trick they use is that Scratchy contains the letters c, a and t.[14]
Poochie, voiced by Dan Castellaneta and Alex Rocco, is an anthropomorphic dog that appeared in "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" (season eight, 1997). In the episode, the producers of The Itchy & Scratchy Show believed the cartoons were getting stale, and needed a new character to reinvigorate the show. Homer Simpson gets the job of voicing Poochie, who is introduced in the cartoon, "The Beagle Has Landed." A product of marketing department thinking, Poochie was near-universally despised, and was killed off in his second appearance, despite Homer's objections. The episode was both a reference to TV shows which added new characters purportedly to reinvigorate the show, and a commentary on the growing complaints of fans of The Simpsons. The original idea for the episode was that Poochie would be obnoxious because he was so rich, rather than because he was so cool.[16] Poochie would later make brief speaking cameo appearances in "Treehouse of Horror IX" and "Little Big Mom."[16][17]
Disgruntled Goat, Uncle Ant, Ku Klux Klam, an anthropomorphic goat, ant and clam, respectively, were characters introduced in a short-lived "Itchy and Scratchy and Friends" show. Bart and Lisa find plush toys of them in a gift shop in the "Itchy and Scratchy Land" episode.
Production staff[edit]
Roger Meyers, Jr., voiced by Alex Rocco and Hank Azaria, is the chairman and CEO of Itchy & Scratchy Studios and is the son of Roger Meyers.[11] He first appeared in "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge" (season two, 1990). He distributes the cartoon and is a jaded and selfish businessman who has nothing but contempt for the children who comprise his audience.[18] He also possesses an extremely obnoxious personality, where he only cares about people who can help him. This is displayed in his contempt for the writers of The Itchy & Scratchy Show.[19]
Alex Rocco also voiced Meyers in "The Day the Violence Died" and "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show." He said that he liked voicing Meyers because "I get to be a big-shot."[20] He professed being nervous when voicing the character for the first time in "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge" because he said that he had never done a voice-over before. At first he tried doing a special voice, but was told to "just be yourself."[20] Rocco was one of Bill Oakley's and Josh Weinstein's favorite guest stars, and they liked including him in their episodes so they could "have a little fun with him."[4] On occasions when Rocco was unavailable to do a voice over, Meyers was voiced by Hank Azaria in "The Front" (season four, 1993), "Lady Bouvier's Lover" (season five, 1994) and "Itchy & Scratchy Land."[21]
The spelling of Meyers' name has been inconsistent in the show. His last name was spelt both Myers and Meyers in "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge," and Myers the later episode "The Day the Violence Died."[6][11] His name is spelt Meyers in "The Front," as well as in the book The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family.[19][22]
Roger Meyers, Sr. first appeared in video footage in "Itchy & Scratchy Land" and has never had a speaking role. He was created because the writers felt it would have been "tortured logic" to have the Roger Meyers, Jr. be the creator.[4] Roger Meyers Sr. has similarities to Walt Disney.[23] For example, Disney's alleged antisemitism is spoofed when it is revealed that Meyers made a cartoon called Nazi Supermen are Our Superiors.[24]
June Bellamy, voiced by Tress MacNeille, is the actress who portrays both Itchy and Scratchy. Her only appearance was in "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show." It is assumed she is a reference to veteran voice actress June Foray, based on the same first name. In the episode, Bellamy states that a woman voiced the characters, although Itchy and Scratchy are voiced by male actors.[16]
Chester J. Lampwick, voiced by Kirk Douglas, is the creator of Itchy and only appeared in "The Day the Violence Died." The producers' first choice for the character, William Hickey, declined.[4] Douglas's recording session was fraught with interruptions because he refused to wear the supplied earphones, and said the maximum he would do was two takes.[25]
Writing staff: In several episodes revolving around the production of The Itchy & Scratchy Show, caricatures of the show's staff are used as the staff of The Itchy & Scratchy Show. This first occurred in "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge" where caricatures of animators David Silverman, Wes Archer and Rich Moore can be seen.[26] In "The Front" many of the show's writers were used, this in-joke was purely an idea of the animators. John Swartzwelder, George Meyer, Jeff Martin, Al Jean, Sam Simon, Jon Vitti and Mike Reiss all appeared in the episode.[21] This joke returned in "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show." Almost all of the writers shown are caricatures of the actual staff of The Simpsons. At the production table, David X. Cohen, Bill Oakley, Josh Weinstein are shown, while Meyer speaks out and gets fired. The animator shown designing Poochie is Silverman. Others who appear include Dan McGrath, Ian Maxtone-Graham, Donick Cary, Ron Hauge, Ned Goldreyer and Mike Scully.[16]
The Itchy & Scratchy Show first appeared in the Tracey Ullman Show short "The Bart Simpson Show," which originally aired November 20, 1988. They were the first major recurring characters outside of the Simpson family to appear.[27] They are based on Tom and Jerry and other cat and mouse cartoons. As a child, series creator Matt Groening and his friends would fantasize about an ultra violent cartoon and how much fun it would be to work on a show like that.[14][28] The names "Itchy" and "Scratchy" were inspired by "Pixie and Dixie," who were mice on the cartoon show Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks.[28] The show is also based on Herman and Katnip, a show that, according to director David Silverman, "is hilarious because it's just bad."[26][29] As a child, Groening really liked the 1961 Disney film One Hundred and One Dalmatians, and it was one of the reasons to why he got into cartooning.[30] In the film, the puppies watch television in the course of the film, and the idea that it is possible have a cartoon within a cartoon thrilled Groening. From that idea he got the inspiration for The Itchy & Scratchy Show.[30]
David Silverman states that Itchy and Scratchy cartoons are "an ironic commentary on cartoon mayhem in the sense that it's taken to a more realistic level. The kids on The Simpsons are laughing at it, and we're laughing too, but part of what you're laughing at is the over-the-top excessiveness of the violence."[29]
Over the years, we have gotten fan mail from people asking for Itchy & Scratchy to get their own spinoff, and you know, more Itchy & Scratchy [...] we put together a montage of Itchy & Scratchy moments, that is several minutes long, and I've shown it to audiences and they get stunned after a minute and a half.
Itchy and Scratchy cartoons are often added when a show needs expanding or when there is an issue that the writers wish to satirize.[31][32] In some cases, notably in "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show," the writers use Itchy & Scratchy as a way to comment on The Simpsons.[16] The shorts are often difficult for the writers, and take much time to develop and devise a title, and in the end they fill little time.[33] Writing the Itchy & Scratchy cartoons is quite often a group effort, with it being pitched out one gag after another.[34] Itchy & Scratchy are a favorite of John Swartzwelder, who has written many of the episodes that center around them and quite often pitches the ideas for the shorts.[33] In the early seasons, fans wanted more Itchy & Scratchy, so the writers decided to do "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge," an episode also dealt with censorship issues which would allow them to show several cartoons.[26] The cartoons are often kept short, because according to David Silverman, "it doesn't really work as a long cartoon."[29]
During his tenure as showrunner (season five and six) David Mirkin was asked by the Fox network not to do any more Itchy & Scratchy cartoons due to the amount of violence in them. In response, the show produced "Itchy & Scratchy Land." The network asked them not to do the episode, and threatened that if the episode was produced, they would cut the Itchy & Scratchy parts out themselves, but relented when Mirkin threatened to tell the media. The writers nevertheless promised to try not to overdo the violence and in some scenes the violence was cut.[23]
During their tenure as executive producers, Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein tried to fit in one episode relating to The Itchy & Scratchy Show every season. They note that as the seasons progressed, it became increasingly difficult for them to create new Itchy & Scratchy episode ideas.[4] Although the episode was difficult to animate, "Itchy & Scratchy Land" was "a dream come true" for the animators, as they enjoyed animating scenes filled with violence.[35]
The theme song is adapted from the jazz standard "Should I (Reveal)?"
In a 2006 article, IGN ranked Itchy & Scratchy in tenth position on their list of the "Top 25 Simpsons Peripheral Characters," citing that "the Itchy & Scratchy Show shines a nice mirror on cartoons, showing just how funny cartoon violence really is."[36] In 2003, Entertainment Weekly named "Itchy & Scratchy Land" and "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" the seventh best and twenty-third best episodes of The Simpsons respectively.[24] In 2007, Vanity Fair named "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" the sixth best episode in the show's history, describing it as "a classic satire of network influence, obsessed TV fans, and programs that survive long after the shark has been jumped, the episode is a meta-celebration, a tongue-in-cheek rebuttal to everyone who claimed that the quality of The Simpsons had declined over the years."[37] Todd Gilchrist called it a masterpiece, stating it "could easily be packaged and sold by [itself]."[38] Robert Canning of IGN writes that "it's always fun to see an 'Itchy and Scratchy' cartoon" but believes that the shorter and simpler cartoons are better than the longer more complex ones.[39] In his book Planet Simpson, author Chris Turner describes Itchy & Scratchy as "by far the most gleeful visual riffing on The Simpsons [...] each snippet of "Itchy & Scratchy" packs as much frenetically paced action, sight-gaggery and physical humor into its half-minute of screen time as a half-dozen Road Runner cartoons and a dozen Tom & Jerrys."[1]
Itchy and Scratchy have appeared in various products and other media relating to The Simpsons. A video game named The Itchy & Scratchy Game was released for Genesis, Game Gear, Super NES and Game Boy.[40] Another game, Itchy and Scratchy in Miniature Golf Madness, was released for Game Boy.[41] Itchy, Scratchy and Poochie play roles in the "Grand Theft Scratchy" section in The Simpsons Game.[42] Itchy & Scratchy have also appeared in commercials for various products, including a 1999 Butterfinger advert where Bart watches a short called "500 Easy Pieces."[43] They also appear in the very first scene of The Simpsons Movie. The writers of the film knew from the beginning that they were going to start with an Itchy & Scratchy short and the segment was the first scene that was storyboarded by the animators.[44]
The duo also appear in the pre-show video for The Simpsons Ride. They host a video called "Safety First" that shows riders what can happen to them if they do not follow ride requirements.[45] Only Itchy has a speaking part in the ride, because Harry Shearer chose not to participate in the ride, so none of his characters have speaking parts.[46]

8Traxx lets you play eight independent stereo tracks from a single, economical rack-mount unit. It's perfect for dark rides, museums, and interactive displays. Each track is individually triggered by its own discrete input – contact closure or voltage – allowing direct connection to proximity sensors or switches. Or all tracks can be controlled from a single RS-232 serial or MIDI port.
8Traxx stores clips in MP3 format on Compact Flash for a rugged, reliable, maintenance-free solution to your playback needs. Access time is nearly instantaneous! All eight tracks are completely independent, and offer superb audio quality.
Clips may be started, stopped or looped using external contacts or pushbuttons, serial RS-232 messages or MIDI. When using serial control you can send any of hundreds of different clips to any of the eight stereo outputs. 8-TraXX can also simply loop continuously on power-up. (The 8TraXX provides rough synch between its eight stereo pairs, but is not intended for truly synchronized playback; however our Binloop products are designed to provide up to 32 channels of synchronous multi-channel playback.)
"My goal in designing 8-TraXX was to provide an economical 16-channel MP3 source for applications that don't need the Digital Binloop's PCM audio and frame sync capabilities."

NHL players, owners cautiously optimistic; more talks slated for Wednesday
There's no deal for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement on the table yet.
Still, Tuesday brought as much potentially good news as there's been during the NHL lockout, which has now reached 81 days.
Sources on both sides reported cautious optimism after a group of six owners met directly with a group of 18 players, including the Rangers' Brad Richards, in two sessions that did not include NHL commissioner Gary Bettman or NHL Players Association executive director Donald Fehr.
The sides met for 5½ hours in Manhattan before taking a dinner break, and then reconvened later in the evening.
Afterward, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly commissioner Bill Daly and union special counsel Steve Fehr addressed the media together.
"It may have been the best day we've had so far," Steve Fehr said. "I don't want to paint too rosy of a picture, however. A lot of work remains to be done."
The sides will meet again before today's 11 a.m. NHL Board of Governors meeting.
Boston's Jeremy Jacobs, Pittsburgh's Ron Burkle, Winnipeg's Mark Chipman, Calgary's Murray Edwards, Toronto's Larry Tanenbaum and Tampa Bay's Jeff Vinik were the owners selected to participate in Tuesday's meetings.
Not surprisingly, Burkle's presence was reported to be constructive, particularly since Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was one of the player representatives.
The sides entered Tuesday's meeting $182 million apart on honoring existing current contracts and at loggerheads over the league's insistence on severely limiting players contracting rights, for instance, keeping deals to a maximum of five seasons while raising the threshold for unrestricted free agency by one year to age 28 or eight seasons in the NHL.

I guess $10,000 is a trivial amount for that radio station, if somebody gave me that much to watch me do whatever I do I'd let them do it all :P
That money went to a charity...not into their pockets.

It was nice you at least got a plug out so that was worth it. Unfortunately the listener-ship on satellite isn't what it was on terrestrial radio. I remember when anyone mentioned a website on the air back int he day the site was pretty much shut down immediately due to the traffic. Either way they still have alot of listeners and it must have been pretty awesome to meet everyone and hang in the studio.
I'll be interested in hearing you talk about everything on the next podcast.
EDIT - were you guys on during the wrap up show? I didn't hear any mention of it, but I can't say I paid much attention. For the most part the wrap up show is unlistenable. Way too much Sal and Richard.

Posted 01 September 2009 - 05:58 PM
Please guys, PLEASE, if you plan on spending an hour on the next podcast talking about the Howard Strern experience, Please record a separate show for gaming.
If not, at least find a way to add "skip to next segment within the same podcast", like the Engadget podcast always does it.
I have no problem with Stern, but honestly, I listen to the podcast for gaming news.
That being said, I am very happy for you and the great exposure this gives to CAG.
Might I humbly suggest my own gaming podcast then, as I think I can safely say ours focuses on gaming news more than the CAGCast?
Just wish I had the 5-digit audience the CAGCast does. Maybe someday, over the rainbow ...

I've heard the opposite actually, its really hard to get laid in japan and if you do its like a marriage proposal. This makes sense counting Japan is considered a place were couples don't have a lot of sex.
You heard wrong. Other than a girl inviting me to meet her parents the next morning, I never caught the sex = proposal vibe from any chick I hooked up with in Japan. Especially not the chicks one finds in places like Gas Panic.

Great reach on this lens for some spectacular motorsport opportunities. This BL equipment was in 9+ condition, as I hoped, and provided the speed and quality I'd expect from glass at this price point. Perhaps the most meaningful comment I can give you is that while i was not bold enough to trust continuous focus to my E-5 rig, I was able to pan this lens at 1/125th ~175mm ISO 400 (monopod) with decent results. Considering the folks I was with were shooting pro stuff, the pointer for performance was at MY skill set rather than an OLY equipment shortfall. For a shooter needing reach, this is a great lens! Looking forward to seeing this movie again!

It's not that I'm over the fudge pops, really. It's just that coconut came along and turned my life upside-down. I didn't know I even liked coconut that much. I didn't know a little this, a little that and a quick whirl in the blender could create a concoction so divine.
But there it is. The simplest, most delicious coconut ice pop that ever existed. Five ingredients, not counting the salt. Creamy, sweet, I think I'll eat these for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thank you, Fany Gerson; your paletas (Mexican ice pops) recipes have yet to disappoint.
I used Bob's Red Mill unsweetened coconut flakes. They're wider, flatter and tastier than the sweet shredded coconut you'll find in the baking aisle. You open the bag and it smells like summer. Unadulterated, clean.
I highly recommend toasting the coconut flakes before adding them to the ice pop mixture, as Gerson does in her book "Paletas." The toasting adds a depth of flavor similar to what you get when you roast nuts.
This recipe made a little more than what my 10-pop mold could handle, but by the grace of God I have overflow ice pop molds, so this wasn't a problem. I don't recommend cutting the recipe in half, since then you'd be left with half a can of coconut milk and half a can of condensed milk. Just store the mixture for a second batch or freeze some in ice cube trays. The mixture stays pliable enough that you could even freeze some in small bowls and eat them with a spoon, like ice cream.
Coconut ice pops
From the book "Paletas," by Fany Gerson
1 14-ounce can of coconut milk
1 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup half-and-half
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup unsweetened coconut flakes, lightly toasted
Toast the coconut flakes in a single layer in a toaster oven or oven (at 325 degrees) until golden. Be careful not to burn it. If you want to sweeten the flakes, Gerson recommends tossing them with a couple of tablespoons of confectioner's sugar before toasting. I found this step unnecessary.
Meanwhile, add all the ingredients (except the flakes) in a blender. Blend until smooth, then add the coconut flakes and stir by hand to incorporate.
Pour into molds. (I used a spoon to help get the flakes into the molds. Otherwise you'll end up with a whole lot of flakes at the bottom of the blender.) Freeze for about 1 ½ hours, then insert sticks into the molds. Let freeze completely, about five hours.
As with the fudge pops, I unmolded all the pops at once, then gave them a second freeze on a plate before wrapping them individually in plastic wrap.

Dying City
Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 02/23/2012 - 8:30pmby Christopher Shinn
Directed by Richard Glockner
In Dying City, a young therapist, Kelly, whose husband Craig was killed while on military duty in Iraq, is confronted a year later by his identical twin Peter, who suspects that Craig's death was not accidental. Set in a downtown-Manhattan apartment after dark, scenes shift from the confrontation between Peter and Kelly, to Kelly's complicated farewell with her husband Craig. Shinn's disturbing, sophisticated drama—infused with references to 9/11 and the war in Iraq—explores how contemporary politics and recent history have transformed the lives of these three characters.

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 02/21/2012 - 8:00pmThe scale of environmental damage over the last half century is unprecedented. Falling water tables, shrinking forest cover, declining species diversity -- all presage ecosystems in distress. These trends are now widely acknowledged as emanating from forces of humanity's own making: massive population increases, unsustainable demands on natural resources, species loss and ruinous environmental practices. Ironically however, war, the most destructive of human behaviors, is commonly bypassed.

It ain't bad to speak several languages. But when in a public forum, where only english is the main language, it isn't appropriate to speak in other languages only.
And, yes you're right. You are not the only one using foreign languages. But that doesn't mean that you have to disrespect the community rules. :)
My talents, my family, my animals, my God, education, kind people and cruel people for showing us what not to be.
Anyway, i respect your belief.
I didn't confuse you, right?
Anyway, since you asked for it, we might continue this until either of us gets bored.
My opinion is that, one can have faith in something(like 'god'), just for the sake of getting good spirit from it(the belief itself), but claiming that god shows one what to do and what not to do sounds inane.
What more, to me my opinion sounds more sane than a opinion like your's.
I'm Grateful to Have Such Loving God "I am so grateful for the love deep in my heart for my abilities that can be used to help those in need. I ask of god to show me the way in which I can do more."
my really really great friends...but they are leaving next year...

Nigel Williams
- Detailed ecological research three decades ago is now paying dividends for one British butterfly. Nigel Williams reports.
Thousands of one of Britain's most spectacular butterflies, which became extinct in the country in 1979, flew again this summer as a result of a careful research, reintroduction and conservation programme that provides a model for other flagship species.
The British Large Blue (Maculinea arion) occurs across Europe and northern Asia and is one of six large blue species globally, all of which are in serious decline. The beautiful butterfly was highly prized by Victorian collectors, but they were constantly frustrated by their inability to raise it in captivity. It was not until the early years of the last century that detailed observations unravelled the problem. Three leading lepidopterists discovered that, after feeding on wild thyme flowers for about three weeks, the small caterpillars crawled or fell to the ground. Here they awaited discovery by a red ant of the genus Myrmica, which began feeding on a sugary solution secreted from special glands on the caterpillar's back in response to the ant's attention. Movements by the caterpillar then prompted the ant to carry it underground into its nest. Here, the caterpillar began feeding on ant grubs. In the late spring of the following year the caterpillar pupated and after three weeks the butterfly emerged and crawled out of the ants' nest.
But these insights into the complexity of the lifestyle of these butterflies did not stop the steady decline of the species nationally. Concerned conservationists established nature reserves which they fenced off to prevent livestock damaging the thyme and installed wardens to deter collectors who were perceived as the main cause of local extinctions. But the butterfly continued to disappear.
By 1972 the butterfly had gone from most of its former sites and only two colonies in south-west England remained. Conservationists were now deeply concerned and decided to commission further work to see if there were more aspects of the biology of this species that had been overlooked. The then Nature Conservancy Council (now Natural England) and the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (now the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology) appointed a young researcher, Jeremy Thomas, to further investigate the problem. But the timing was difficult, with his first field season turning out to be the last for the Cornish colony of Large Blues and at the other site in Devon only 250 adults emerged.
He began a detailed study of over 300 eggs and caterpillars and found that most did not survive their period in the ant nests. His key finding was that any species of red ant would carry caterpillars into their nests but that adult butterflies only emerged from the nests of just one species, Myrmica sabuteli.
Thomas' work shifted to a study of the five different red ant species in the habitat, which revealed that each thrived under slightly different conditions. M. sabuteli needed warm conditions and highly grazed sward to prosper. Thomas then went back to look at former sites of the butterfly and found that those that hadn't been ploughed or planted with trees had long grass and so were unsuitable for M. sabuteli. So the key to the survival of the Large Blue appeared to be managing the habitat for the demands of a single species of red ant.
Unfortunately, this insight came too late and the last colony became extinct in 1979. But his work did help establish a key principle of conserving a species — the need to understand its detailed requirements, which in this case, appeared to be to ensure the right conditions for an entirely different species.
Impressed by Thomas' work, conservation bodies decided to manage this last site for the ant with a plan to reintroduce butterflies from Sweden when conditions were considered to be sufficient for their survival. The first caterpillars were re-introduced in 1983 and the butterfly has survived and bred at this site since. Emboldened, researchers have begun to look in detail at many other former sites and butterflies have since been re-introduced at several locations and more are in the offing. This summer's spectacular display is a vindication of these ongoing efforts and the research work carried out in the 1970s. And an added bonus is the realisation that management work to conserve one rare species appears to conserve many other species, some of which are also rare.
While the summer weather is crucial for the successful breeding of these butterflies and the last few years have been kind in Britain, the hope is that its re-establishment at some sites in the long-term is now secure.

"Gaining Groudon"
Normally, dub titles aren't interesting news. If it was entirely new to us, we might make guesses about Ash trying to get a legendary and that Team Magma will be involved somehow. As it is, we know that this is Part one of the two-part "Groudon vs. Kyogre" battle with Team Aqua and Team Magma both also in battle to boot!
But what is interesting is that we can see that 4Kids are clearly making an effort by having more difference in the title than the numbered part.
This episode will air in America on Saturday 15th October, and then in the UK on Tuesday 18th. Part Two then airs in the UK on Wednesday 19th, and then in the US on Saturday 22nd.

How to Make Fast Food at Home
10 iconic and popular fast-food recipes you can try at home
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Admit it — you love a good cheeseburger. Or a steaming cinnamon bun drizzled in frosting. Or a miniature breakfast sandwich. Or all three. But maybe you feel a little shy about walking into a McDonald's or a Burger King or a Denny's because the market today is flooded with so many sustainably harvested, seasonal, macrobiotic food options, and everyone's on board with the trend. Or maybe you don't feel that way, but the craving for something stacked, juicy, and, chances are, overwhelmingly cheesy, strikes at the most inconvenient of times — say, when you're in your pajamas cuddled up on the couch and about to turn in for the evening. Suddenly, fast food doesn't seem so fast.
Click here to see the How to Make Fast Food at Home Slideshow
Whichever camp you belong to, we have the answer. To sate your appetite, we spoke with the experts — some of the major fast-food chains as well as those who are replicating (and occasionally putting a twist on) their recipes — about how to interpret the meals that have worked their way into our country's collective subconscious. Maybe you'll tweak one of these recipes to be a bit healthier, maybe you'll go the other way and decide to add your own creamy dressing as a topping, or maybe you'll stick with the tried-and-true original. After all, it's a proven recipe for success. Just ask your taste buds.

Up for sale is a 1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe. It is in great condition and only selling it because I need the money. Being an Aerocoupe, it is very rare. There were only 6052 Aerocoupes produced in 1987. I have owned this car for two years now and would trust it to drive anywhere. It is very reliable. I have won many trophies with it, at local carshows and it is defiantly a head turner.
It has Brand New Paint, which is very shiny and looks great. I had the windows professionally tinted last fall. It has 20 inch Eagle Alloy Series 212 Rims on it, with Hankook tires. The rims were purchased from Summit Racing for $1165 (receipts to prove it) and tires from Discount Tire Direct for $879. So the whole wheel package cost me $2044. Also, with the wheels, I installed Hotchkis lowering springs. (2 inch in front and 1 inch in rear). Looks great and doesn't ride bad either! I also replaced all of the stock speakers with Pioneer speakers. They sound great. Also, in the trunk is a Bazooka Amp and a Kicker Sub. Car has a Flowmaster Catback Exhaust system, so it will still pass emissions test. The owner before me put in a car alarm, with two keyless entrée remotes. Just recently went through the brakes so its ready to go!

President Barack Obama has said repeatedly that he wants "ideas that work." In spite of this, leading Democrats are working hard on plans for health care reform that will fail.
These plans, pushed by Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and others, seek to extend coverage to everyone by mandating the purchase of private insurance, with perhaps an option to buy into a public plan. They would ease this purchase through an "insurance exchange," while subsidizing premiums for those with low incomes.
As our government enacts a stimulus package and President Barack Obama announces bold initiatives to stem home mortgage foreclosures, disaster still threatens family farmers and their communities.
The government's response to plummeting commodity prices and tightening credit markets leads to the basic question, who will produce our food?
A lady called our office last week hoping to persuade one of us to "share" one of the new Lincoln bicentennial pennies with her. While we were sympathetic that she has not been able to find one, we weren't about to mail one of the keepsakes to a perfect stranger.
It's not like the pennies have been showing up in pocket change.
A few topics have been weighing on my mind lately, so I thought I would address them all at the same time.
First up, the Fiscal Court contracting with Campbellsville Baptist Church to operate Veterans Memorial Park.
I have to say that when I first heard that magistrates wanted to investigate whether leasing the park could save them some money, I immediately thought, don't we have bigger - and more costly - issues to worry about?
Many Kentuckians, just like many across the country, are struggling to get by during this economic crisis. Unemployment is at a 25-year high. Too many have seen their hard-earned savings dwindle. And people are worried about paying for education, health care or the mortgage.
At a time like this, Americans have a right to expect that as they are cutting back, so is their government.
I've written before about the uselessness of antiquated laws still in existence. Remember the duties of a Kentucky constable?
According to state law, constables are to be paid 50 cents for making an arrest for a violation involving a motor vehicle on the highway or "taking up a vagrant." The price goes up to $1 for killing a mad dog or "altering a stud, jackass or bull." The fee is $2 for killing and burying a cow and $3 for killing and burying a distempered horse, ass or mule.
Paradoxically, in this time of almost crushing concern over the state of our nation, the inauguration of a new President ushers in, at least briefly, a period of palpable hope.
Hope for a better economy, for demonstrable progress in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East, and for improvements in everything from climate change to education to Social Security to health care. Indeed, optimism abounds even as things seem to be falling down all around us. It's the American way.
But those aren't the only things we have to feel hopeful about. Or, for that matter, to worry about.
CATS has breathed its last breath.
After several attempts in recent years, Kentucky lawmakers have finally agreed on a plan to hammer the final nail in the CATS coffin.
So, after 10 years of working toward the 2014 proficiency goal, we're changing course. Sounds kinda discouraging, doesn't it?
But the fact is that stuffing CATS back in the bag could be the boost that education in Kentucky needs.
"Hello, Supreme Pizza, Carmen speaking, how can I help you Dr. Applebaum?"
How do you know my name?
"Caller ID, my friend, would you like the usual, vegetarian with extra onions delivered to 23 High Side Lane?"
That would be great.
"Ok, Dr., it will be there in 20 minutes and we'll charge it to your credit card on file, OK?"
Sure, thank you, goodbye.

Say you have gone to a government or school board meeting to hear and maybe even participate in a discussion about why a certain action is being taken.
Then, to your surprise, a vote is taken without that discussion taking place.
