I have listened to too many debates on who got what and where and who is a mooch and who isn't. Moochers aren't restricted to any class or socio-economic group. The talk of the deterioration of capitalism is painful to listen to. True capitalism started to die over a century ago. The moochers in all shapes and sizes are created by the mixed economy the government created. So many regulations layered one on top of the other, some just to tweek the imbalance created by the first. The bigger mooches like GE welcome and sponser the government intervention. It squashes the competition and with the right buddies in office you can do what you want. When will government get back to protecting my rights and the country ONLY.
I have a serious question for readers. What's worse, bailouts for government or bailouts for the private sector?
Yes, both are bad, but is it worse to bail out a bankrupt entitlement program, such as Social Security, or it is worse to bail out an industry, such as the financial sector?

In response to the Scottish Government's release of the 2014 pre-referrendum White Paper 'Scotland Future', shipping organization Maritime UK members suggest that the publication raises as many questions as it does answers.
Maritime UK members have had constructive engagement with the Scottish Government in recent months, but today's White Paper provides some interesting nuggets – raising as many questions as it does answers. In particular, they note this extract hidden away on page 418.
"The Scottish Government intends that the Maritime and Coastguard Agency will continue to provide its services for the safety of mariners.
It also plans that the Northern Lighthouse Board and Marine Accident Investigation Branch will continue its role unchanged in an independent Scotland, funded by existing arrangements"
At present, the MCA and MAIB are funded through direct UK taxation as part of the UK's Department for Transport, whilst the Northern Lighthouse Board is funded through light dues (a charge levied on each ship calling at ports across the UK).
So for these bodies to continue their work 'unchanged…funded by existing arrangements', the maritime safety infrastructure of an independent Scotland will continue to be governed from London, funded by English, Welsh and Northern Irish taxpayers, concludes Maritime UK.

Once you get wriggle's hes a brick wall in lane with retarded sustain. Also its nearly impossible to win trades with him since his new passive That damage adds up. His ult got buffed and puts out nice damage. At lvl 6 you are basically always threatning a kill with q + r + ignite + q. Late game hes good because hes super hard to kill, has a good ult and has a team as steroid of 40. This makes pushing towers and getting baron/ dragon incredibly easy. You can basically build whatever the **** you want on him (with reason) so he can counter most lanes. He just seems really, really, strong.

It's because the fucking news outlets cant get their shit straight and are
1. Lumping peaceful protestors with looters
2. Attributing the store robbery to him (EVEN THOUGH THE STORE OWNER SAID THEY DON'T THINK IT WAS MICHAEL)
3. Spinning this story as if it's a debate and therefore giving room to conspiracy theories about how violent Mike was and essentially trying to coerce everyone into thinking he deserved death
But the media is just a small part. Racism is doing the rest of the job quite nicely. God fucking dammit, I am so angry.

Elinor Johnson: A blessed woman
TribLIVE Sports Videos
On Wednesday, the Mon Valley Area — specifically the children, families and community of the Ringgold School District — lost a most loving, caring and compassionate friend in Elinor Johnson.
As a teacher and coach for many years at Mon Valley Catholic and in the Ringgold School District, I personally witnessed the love and concern Elinor had with many of our students, those involved in sports, and family friends from her community and church.
Whether it was sending her nephew, Joe Montana, 100 cards, posters, footballs, or helmets that needed autographed, "Aunt Elinor" always took the time and made the effort because she knew some young boy or girl was going to have a happy heart with famous nephew Joe's signature or autographed picture.
Her loyalty and true love of Notre Dame and the San Francisco 49ers during Joe's playing days was always celebrated with her many friends and family. Aunt Elinor was always the one putting a game plan together for a monumental successful event with Ken Wiltz from the Mon Valley YMCA or Paul Zolak, former athletic director at Ringgold High School.
As my friend, Don DeVore recently said to me, "Elinor loved the children and people of Monongahela and Ringgold."
One of her greatest accomplishments and a moment in time that I will always cherish was in 2006 when Ringgold named its football stadium "Joe Montana Stadium."
When I visited Elinor at her home to tell her of this most exciting news, her eyes filled with tears of great joy. She had such happiness and love for her nephew, Joe, and all her family (The Montanas, Bavasos and Johnsons.)
The weekend of the dedication, she taught each of us to dream big. The entire weekend was showered with God's blessing from heaven: everything from the stadium ceremonies, the alumni tent featuring Eddie DiBartola, Jr., the banquet with fellow inductees Fred Cox, Ken Griffey, Jr., and Stan Musial, the thousands of blue and gold flowers at the New Eagle Fire Hall for the banquet, to the thrilling Ringgold School District assemblies that every student K-12 was able to attend during the Hall of Fame weekend.
It was throughout the entire weekend that we were touched by angels.
To the entire Johnson family, Montana family and Bavaso family, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing Elinor with all of us as friends, teachers and coaches. She taught us the true definition of servanthood and of loving others every moment of our lives.
May God love and bless all of you.

The turn of the mummy: God of death statue starts SPINNING on its own in Manchester museum... but is this a sign that there really is a curse of the Pharaohs?
- 10-inch tall relic is an offering to Egyptian God Osiris, God of the dead
- It has been filmed on a time lapse, seemingly spinning 180 degrees
- TV physicist Brian Cox among the experts being consulted on mystery
- But some now believe there could be 'spiritual explanation' for turning statue
THE curse of Tutankhamen is said to have claimed more than 20 lives. By contrast, the curse of Neb-Senu amounts to little more than an occasional inconvenience for museum curators.
Over several days, the ten-inch Egyptian statuette gradually rotates to face the rear of the locked glass cabinet in which it is displayed, and has to be turned around again by hand.
Those who like tales of haunted pyramids and walking mummies may regard the mystery of the 4,000-year-old relic – an offering to Osiris, god of the dead – as the strangest thing to hit Egyptology in decades.
Scroll down for video
Egyptologist Campbell Price studies an ancient Egyptian statuette at the Manchester Museum, which appears to be moving on its own
Others, including TV physicist Professor Brian Cox, have a more down-to-earth explanation for its movement.
Whatever the solution, the puzzle certainly won't dent visitor numbers at its present home, Manchester Museum.
The statuette's slow about-turn has been captured on film by a time-lapse camera, and curator Campbell Price, 29, says he believes there may be a spiritual explanation.
'I noticed one day that it had turned around,' he said. 'I thought it was strange because it is in a case and I am the only one who has a key.
'I put it back, but then the next day it had moved again.
The 10-inch tall relic, which dates back to 1800 BC, has been at the museum for 80 years but curators say it has recently starting rotating 180 degrees during the day
'In Ancient Egypt they believed that if the mummy is destroyed then the statuette can act as an alternative vessel for the spirit. Maybe that is what is causing the movement.'
The statue, made by one Neb-Senu in about 1800BC, was donated to the museum in 1933, and had been reassuringly immobile for most of that time.
However Mr Price and his colleagues are now used to finding it facing the rear of its case – perhaps significantly, displaying a prayer on the back requesting 'bread, beer, oxen and fowl'.
Experts decided to monitor the room on time-lapse video and were astonished to see it clearly show the statuette spinning 180 degrees - with nobody going near it
In this time lapsed video, as the museum closes for the evening, the statue can be seen in a clearly different position
By midday the next day it has turned almost a quarter of a circle to be facing to the left
The following morning the statue has moved again, and is facing even further away from its original position
By the end of the day the statue has turned almost 180 degrees and is now facing away from visitors to the museum
Their video has recorded it rotating
to its left over the course of three days until facing backwards.
Even more mysteriously, it appears to spin only during daylight hours, and does not turn beyond 180 degrees. Some, including Professor Cox, have suggested that vibrations caused by the footsteps of passing visitors makes the statuette turn on its glass shelf.
Mr Price said: 'Brian thinks it's "differential friction" where two surfaces, the stone of the statuette and glass shelf it is on, cause a subtle vibration which is making the statuette turn. But it has been on those surfaces since we have had it and it has never moved before.
'And why would it go a round in a perfect circle? It would be great if someone could solve the mystery.'

Young aunts and uncles

Bun in the oven - January 15th 2015
My 2 oldest nieces are 20 and 21. I'm 23. We grew up more like sisters.
My brother is 18 and our youngest nieces/nephews are 11 and 6. No weirdness. They are like siblings as well.
I also have an aunt that is the same age as me!
I think it really depends on your family dynamic. My family is very big and close so age differences never really mattered.

My grandma's mother had her as a teen and she was raised with her aunts and uncles (one uncle being younger than her) as another sibling. She thought of them more as siblings or cousins than as aunts and uncles since they all went to school and did chores around the farm together. They were super-close all their lives. It's kind of an unusual relationship but having someone in the family who's close to your age is great fun, no matter what the technical definition is. Don't worry about it and just let them develop their relationship as they grow.

"I purchased the invitations, RSVP's, Directions cards and Thank you cards for my wedding. The creation process was easy to use and customer service added all my requests initially. The proofing process was quick. The website actually sent my order 5 days before it was noted to ship on. Once I received my order, the invitations were everything I hoped they would be! My fiancé and I loved them. I would definitely order from Wedding Paper Divas again!"
"I cannot even begin to tell you how awesome this product is - and more over - how great the customer service has been from WPD. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
"We really love this invitation! The plum colored option matched our theme and brightened up the invitation while it was still subtle. We were afraid if we did not upgrade the paper weight that the invitation would be somewhat flimsy, but the weight of the standard paper was perfect! We were also afraid that the format would not provide all of the necessary information, but it definitely worked for us. We can't wait to hear from our invitees! :)"
"I received 8 sample invitations as potential options for my destination wedding. I went with several traditional options but hands down, this one was the winner. This is a fun invitation for a destination wedding without being too hokey. I've received fantastic feedback from my guests and couldn't be happier."
"The invitations look better in person, bigger than what expected but they are perfect- I am having a destination wedding and I was worried about using the typical invitation for destinations but I think they look pretty cool, simple chic, they don't look too informal which I was happy - this wash't my original pick but my fiance really wanted to use them and I am glad we did :)- The best part about this process is the customer service provided by WPD, they have truly made it so easy on us, from the design to delivery - Noah Farmer, one of the designers, has been helping me trying to incorporate some of the colors of my wedding to the design and he has done an amazing job! I am very grateful to him and so happy I found out about WPD.""

A winter storm brought California much-needed rain and even a rare tornado, but the breadth and severity of snowfall in much of the state caught drivers by surprise and left hundreds stranded on mountain highways.
A late barrage of snow forced the shutdown of a 60-mile stretch of Highway 58 between Los Angeles and Bakersfield late Tuesday, California Highway Patrol Officer Ed Smith said.
"Travel conditions deteriorated quickly," Smith told KCAL-TV. "The freeways just aren't safe to pass on right now."
The snow brought hundreds of vehicles to a stop and sent the patrol and road crews scrambling to the scene, where they were helping drivers to slowly exit near Tehachapi. No injuries were reported.
A similar scene played out shortly about 300 miles to the north, where dozens of cars were either stuck in the snow or involved in accidents near the rural community of Sonora. About 50 to 75 vehicles became stranded or were in collisions on Highway 49 and nearby roadways when it started snowing heavily in the Sierra Nevada foothills, said CHP Lt. Scott Clamp.
"Travelers were just not prepared," Clamp said. There were a handful of minor injuries, but no major injuries, he said.
The storm from the Gulf of Alaska brought the first significant rainfall to the region in several weeks, the National Weather Service said.
Periodic showers, including hail, hit the Bay area in time for the morning commute, while new snow fell in the Sierra Nevada, where ski resorts around Lake Tahoe were expecting up to 8 inches.
Flurries were spotted high in the hills in Oakland and in neighboring Berkeley, said Rick Canepa, a weather service meteorologist in Monterey. The top of Mt. Hamilton near San Jose and the tips of Mt. Diablo in the East Bay also got a dusting.
In the Sacramento area, a tornado with wind speeds between 40 to 70 mph was spotted north of Red Bluff shortly after 1:30 p.m., according to the weather service. It caused little or no damage.
More rain was forecast for the Bay area and for parts of Southern California. Authorities warned of more hazardous conditions for drivers on mountain and interior valley roads into early Wednesday, when the storm was expected to move east.
Even though San Francisco saw highs in the 70s last week, California has had a colder-than-normal winter overall.
"We went from about 10 degrees above normal this past weekend to 10 degrees below today," said Austin Cross, another weather service meteorologist based in Monterey. "We're usually somewhere in the 60s, temperature-wise, at this time of year."
San Francisco has gotten nearly 14 inches of rain since October, or about 85 percent of its normal rainfall during the fall-winter season, Cross said. Oakland received 83 percent and San Jose had about 80 percent, he added.

Hi Everyone,
I'll be traveling from Bologna to Innsbruck on June 5 and from Innsbruck to Munich on June 9 (and flying to London from Munich Airport on June 12) and need some help...
1. Do I need to buy these tickets ahead of time?
2. Any suggestions on what site(s) to purchase these tickets from? Deutchebahn? Trenitalia? Raileuorpe.com? Will prices vary depending upon who I buy them from?
3. Should I buy these as two separate tickets or one ticket with a stopover in Innsbruck?
Thank you!
Train advice: Bologna - Innsbruck - Munich
Hi Everyone,

Unless there is some substantial discount involved in buying them or part of them on Trenitalia.com and bahn.de I would wait and buy them all at once at a train station in Italy

There's one direct Bologna-Innsbruck train a day, if that's the one you want you should use www.oebb.at as that s the operator.
Other services involve a change in Verona, so first book Verona-Innsbruck at www.oebb.at then book Bologna-Verona at www.trenitala.com.
Innsbruck-Munich book at www.oebb.at.
Why book in advance? It's cheaper. Though whether you think it's worth pre-booking to save on a relatively short trip depends on (a) what prices you see for your date and (b how much you care about the cost.
Bologna-Verona starts at €9 booked in advance, but is €23 full-price on the day.

Dukey1 and Man in Seat 61, thank you both for your help.
Man in Seat 61, special thanks to you--I was hoping you would see my post and provide some "expert" advice! I will check the sites you've listed and will post back if I have additional questions. Thanks!

Man in Seat 61,
I just purchased my ticket for the direct train between Bologna and Innsbruck. After purchasing, there is a paragraph that says the ticket must be printed on A4 size paper and that enlargements or reductions will not be accepted. I live in the United States and do not have access to A4 paper or printer--how should I handle this? Can I claim the ticket at Bologna Centrale?

FBI Didn't Tell Boston Police Of BombersAlso: Boston Marathon Bombing, Boston Police, Didn't Tell, FBI, FBI Didn't Tell Boston
The FBI didn't tell the Massachusetts State Police or the Boston police about what it knew of the suspected Marathon bombers until three and a half days after the attack.
The information was revealed when law enforcement officials testified today before the House Homeland Security Committee.
"My fear is that the Boston bombers succeeded because our system failed," said committee chairman Rep. Mike McCaul (R-Texas).
Boston police commissioner Ed Davis told McCaul that his department was not told before the bombing that the FBI had opened an investigation into Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2011, or that Tsarnaev had traveled to the North Caucasus in 2012, even though he had three detectives and a sergeant assigned to the Joint Terror Task Force with the FBI.
"Would you have liked to known that?" asked McCaul.
"Yes," said Davis, although he said later it was not clear that the knowledge would have prevented the bombings.
In a statement released today, the FBI said the Boston police department not only had access to the shared counter-terrorism incident management system, but the BPD "specifically had representatives assigned to the JTTF [Joint Terrorism Task Force] squad that conducted the 2011 Assessment of deceased terrorism suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev."
"State and local law enforcement personnel, analysts and FBI personnel at Fusion Centers who have the appropriate security clearances are afforded the same unrestricted access as their FBI colleagues," the FBI said. The FBI said it conducted some 1,000 assessments in the Boston area alone the same year as Tsarnaev's.
The Boston police commissioner also revealed that not a single student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth called police after surveillance pictures of the other suspected bomber, 19-year old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a student at the school, were made public.
Authorities believe Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were responsible for detonating a pair of bombs near the finish line at the Boston Marathon April 15, killing three, including an 8-year-old boy, and injuring more than 260 others.

Reap the biotech harvest
The outcry over genetically modified food should not obscure the potential of the life science sector, warns David Brierley
Sunday 21 February 1999
"Biotechnology is exactly the kind of industry we must support in this country," said industry minister John Battle this month as he unveiled initiatives to help the small-to-medium-sized companies that dominate the industry.
Enthusiasts foresee a biotech revolution in the 21st century comparable with the organic chemistry revolution that has transformed this century. The industry is growing fast. By 2000 it is expected to be worth $100bn (pounds 61bn). The UK biotech sector currently has a market capitalisation of pounds 3.6bn.
"Biotechnology will provide solutions because genetics allows us to understand biological systems," said Nigel Poole, head of regulatory affairs at Zeneca Plant Science.
Britain, with its world-class pharmaceutical industry, has a great deal to gain. "Britain is number two in the world in biotechnology," said Mr Poole. The US is number one, while Germany is catching up fast, having decided to rescind a biotech ban.
Controversial genetically modified foods are just one aspect of biotechnology. Its potential is vast in health care, animal welfare, the environment, agriculture and industry. Biotechnology is beginning to change the way human diseases are diagnosed and treated. It is transforming the treatment of pollution and waste. And it can reduce plant disease, reduce pests and raise crop yields.
Biotechnology was used to clean up after the Exxon Valdiz ran aground in Alaska. DNA fingerprinting was widely used long before Monica Lewinsky wore that dress. Biotechnology will enable replacement organs to be grown for transplantation.
The hottest science is perhaps genomics, which has revealed how genes code the proteins that cause disease. "There is a greater understanding of disease at molecular level. Armed with this knowledge, drugs can be designed to target specific proteins, with fewer side-effects," said Dr Jeffrey Newman, consultant biotechnologist at Cranfield University.
The benefits to mankind could be immense. "In economic terms, biotechnology has great potential to create wealth and jobs, building on Britain's world- class science base. But we must build up public confidence in science, which has been badly shaken by BSE," said Stephen Byers, Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, last month.
Amgen, the world's largest biotech company, illustrates the economic potential. With two drugs selling for $1bn annually, Amgen is valued at $30bn. Within the British biotech industry, Zeneca is the long-established giant. The third largest agrochemicals business in the world, Zeneca, competes with Monsanto, Dupont and Novartis. Its research is carried out in Britain -where it employs 1,000 researchers in Jealott's Hill, Berkshire - and it intends to spend pounds 50m on a new research facility in Norwich. It has pioneered the genetically modified tomatoes used in Sainsbury's and Safeway's tomato puree.
Unlike Zeneca, most biotech firms employ fewer than 50 people and are recent start-ups. The industry boasts 500 companies with 40,000 employees. Its most important markets are diagnostics (typically HIV test kits) and healthcare (the creation, delivery and manufacture of drugs). During the past two years, the quoted sector has suffered a series of high-profile setbacks.
"All the stocks have been sharply in retreat. There are companies priced below their cash value," said Nick Woolf, analyst at BancBoston Robertson Stephens. The sector fell by nearly 50 per cent last year.
No debacle has been greater than that of British Biotechnology, valued at nearly pounds 2bn in May 1996. Last week, after announcing that its key Marimastat anti-cancer drug did not outperform an existing compound, the company was worth little more than its cash. "They were over-optimistic," admitted Mr Woolf, who insists that Marimastat has therapeutic potential.
For investors, judging the potential of hi-tech companies is a nightmare. Having had their fingers burnt on British Biotech, once the flagship of the industry, many are no longer willing to try. New start-ups cannot come to market at present.
Paul Haycock at Apax Partners, the venture capital group, said: "The Initial Public Offering [flotation] market is shut. Yet that does not change the fundamentals. Biotechnology will lead the diagnosis and treatment of disease in the next decade."
Because it takes five to 10 years to bring a product to market, many biotech companies have little or no income for several years. Some solve the problem by arranging joint ventures with the pharmaceutical giants. But such deals are becoming rare. Meanwhile, the sector is chock-a-block with loss-makers which have heavily under-performed. "The sector depends on sentiment because they have no earnings," said Mr Woolf.
"It is not a market for people who want to flip in and out," said Mr Haycock. "But we are still seeking good-quality firms with well-conceived business plans and good technology."
Only one in 10 drugs entering clinical trials receives regulatory approval. In this all-or-nothing business, many directors prefer to dream aloud about future billions rather than talk about nothing. British Biotech hyped up its cancer treatment to such an extent that its head of clinical trials, Dr Andrew Millar, protested and was sacked for his pains. The resignation of the over-enthusiastic chief executive, Keith McCullagh, followed. Last week's poor clinical results seemed both to vindicate Dr Millar and to call into question the realism of the industry.
Bringing the latest science to market is arduous and costly. Dr Newman at Cranfield warned: "A lot of time and money has been invested in genomics. This has already solved some problems. Its full impact may, however, take longer to occur than many people expect."
There is a great deal of time for biotech start-ups to disappoint investors. Management problems seem to have been endemic, and profligacy not unknown. Of the 30 quoted biotech firms, six appointed new chief executives last year, further reducing confidence in the market. Aside from British Biotech, several companies have suffered well-publicised setbacks in clinical trials including Biocompatibles, Celltech and Scotia Holdings. That is normal for the pharmaceutical industry, but these relatively small companies do not have the giants' large cash flow and wide range of drug prospects.
Few have pleased investors. One exception was Phytopharm whose shares rose 260 per cent last year following a licensing agreement with Pfizer for its appetite suppressant.
No British biotech company has yet to bring a compound to market, let alone emulated Amgen's success. Nevertheless, Celltech and Chiroscience are expected to obtain approval for their first drugs shortly. In the US, biotech companies have brought 20 drugs to market. In fact, Chiroscience obtained Food and Drugs Administration approval last month for Chirocaine, a long-lasting local anaesthetic. Even so, the FDA has yet to be convinced of its superiority over a generic competitor. Celltech's leukemia treat- ment is in the late stages of trials. "Both drugs offer advantages and the clinical data look compelling," said Mr Woolf.
However, drugs can and do fail at the last hurdle. This has meant that many biotech companies seek to do something other than create compounds, to generate a secure cash flow. Dolly the sheep produces a rare protein in its milk which is used to treat cystic fibrosis. PPL Therapeutics, Dolly's begetter, employs a flock of Dollies as a cheap medicine factory. But its shares have fallen sharply, too.
A rare success, Powderject, developed a needle-less drug injection system before obtaining a deal with GlaxoWellcome to produce DNA vaccines. Its shares went from 175p to 670p, showing the real potential.
The biotech sector has become a catch-all phrase for emerging life sciences companies. The Government's initiatives are directed at enabling companies to move from re- search to manufacture, improving training and disseminating best practice. "We are taking steps to improve the tax framework. We are looking at equity incentives for key managers in smaller hi-tech companies," said Mr Battle.
The row over biotechnology in this country contrasts with acceptance in the US. This can partly be attributed to the absence of a European equivalent of the FDA - a strong, clearly independent regulator.
While genetically modified foods are only part of the biotech story, rebuilding confidence is vital if Britain is to reap the benefits of the life sciences revolution.

The 190-staffed-bed University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington is hoping patients will let its new "Patient School" be their guide. "There are specific disease-oriented programs to teach people how to cope with things like hypertension or diabetes, but nothing more general about coping with the vagaries of a complex medical care system," says Robert Trestman, M.D., Ph.D., professor of psychiatry and director of UCHC's Connecticut Health Initiative, a public healthcare outreach program.
The Patient School program aims to equip students with the basic skills needed to process health information, make the most of provider encounters and survive the emotional roller coaster ride that often accompanies illness. The goal is to produce "successful patients," which Trestman defines as those who are prepared to work collaboratively with their healthcare providers, as opposed to being passive recipients. "The more active patients are, the more engaged they'll be, and the more likely it is they'll adhere to healthcare recommendations," he says.
Thirty-one men and women ranging in age from 38 to 77 paid the $60 fee to enroll in the first five-week session held in March. A second session is planned for the fall. The program's popularity has been apparent; a day after the Hartford Courant newspaper carried a brief article on the school, the class was booked solid.
The patient school idea grew out of UCHC's community outreach programming. Faculty members developed the curriculum and teach the courses. UCHC has been approached by several states and corporations, even a representative of the World Health Organization, about expansion possibilities. The hospital eventually hopes to expand the content so the school covers more topics, such as interpreting health plan coverage lingo, and to hone the concept to be more patient specific. The school also may be made available to additional patients online or on DVD.

I would have guessed Herman was in the Hall.

God Bless the Babe.
My college buddies and I created our own Strat cards about 15 years ago. Good times. Mine was based on a Wade Boggs season. High average, good walks, little power, slow and with below average D.6. God Posted: February 25, 2014 at 04:59 PM (#4662350)
If you've ever played Strat, I'm sure you'd get a kick out of holding your own card. They'd also make crazy good presents for your Strat-playing buddies, even if they haven't rolled the dice in a decade or more. They're cheap and help support a great company, too!
I created my own Negro Leagues card set well before there was an official one. Had a great time reenacting the 1920 season with integrated teams. But the greatest homemade Strat tool was the Z-chart we made up, which only comes into play if you roll a 20 on the 20-sided die twice in a row. The Z-chart was full of rare freak occurrences like "your ballpark burns down, so you must play the rest of the season on the road," or "player punches out umpire, is ejected and suspended for a week." "Batter is hit in head by spitball and dies." "Pitcher leaves game to chase after fire truck." etc etc7. Sunday silence Posted: February 25, 2014 at 05:54 PM (#4662401)

wonder what Woodrow Wilson's card would have looked like?
Perhaps like this?
Just for shits and giggles I ran the raw stats on the card10. Cooper Nielson Posted: February 26, 2014 at 02:19 AM (#4662637)
(Remember you only roll on the hitters card 50% of the time so all stats should be halved)
Base Card
single: 31.63%
double: 6.57%
triple: 1.81%
hr: 5.74%
Nice card. Joe's a significantly better hitter against lefties, with a .474/.631/.803/1.434
as opposed to hitting .422/.552/.667/1.222 against righties. The raw stats resemble a Dimaggio card or two. Wrong position of course.
Other than DP'ing a lot,he'd be a high 3B pick
George Brett's 1980, of course...except Pos gave himself six more HR, for a total of 30.
Lest you think Poz has an over-inflated view of his baseball ability, TFA notes that he had no input into "his" stats:
Anyway, getting my own Strat-O-Matic card (one which Adam Rosen and Hal Richman and the Strat-O folks designed without my input or even knowledge) was great on two levels. One, it gave me a baseball identity — apparently I'm a high-average (.390 average!), power-hitting (40 doubles! 30 homers!), Gold Glove third baseman. My season is obviously influenced by George Brett in 1980. We both hit .390 with .454 on-base percentages. I was more durable than Brett — I got about 150 more plate appearances — which is why I hit more doubles (40 to 33) and homers (30 to 24).

Anyone associated with getting to market new light vehicles, (cars, light trucks and SUVs), not to mention sales and manufacturing of them, has reason to be hopeful about business prospects in the New Year.
The National Automobile Dealers Association predicts 16.4 million new cars and light trucks will be purchased or leased in the U.S. this year, a 5.1% increase from 2013, according to a new report.
"Consumers will be far better off in 2014 than last year," says NADA Chief Economist Steven Szakaly. "Employment is improving. Debt has been reduced, and home prices across all regions of the country will remain stable or will rise, yielding a positive wealth effect."
Last year, 15.6 million new light vehicles were sold in the U.S. It marked fifth straight year of a long recovery from the global financial crisis and the automotive bankruptcies.
"Growth would have been stronger in 2013 without a series of contentious fiscal crises in Washington and a federal government shutdown last fall," he says.
"There is considerable upside potential in 2014 as economic activity is expected to increase as the year progresses," he added. "Gross domestic product will grow about 2.8 percent this year, stability in housing with concurrent growth in employment and manufacturing all lead to a positive outlook for 2014."
Szakaly says that employment, particularly in the construction and services industries, will improve this year, and a continued moderation in gasoline prices and improvements in the housing market will help to offset stagnation in wages and income in 2014.

Glenn Beck Declares Ted Cruz 'Blaze Man Of The Year'
Outraged that Time Magazine has named a Marxist like Pope Francis as its "Person of the Year," Glenn Beck responded on his radio program today by declaring that Sen. Ted Cruz was The Blaze's "Man of the Year."
Claiming that Time snubbed Cruz by not giving him the honor because "they don't want to give him any more power," Beck proclaimed that "progressives are fascists," which is why Time has named people like Hitler and Mussolini as the "Man of the Year" (for the record, Mussolini was never named "Man of the Year.")
Even though Cruz was among the finalists for the "Person of the Year," Beck is positive that he never had an actual chance of winning, even though "he's the guy who is going to affect our life, your life, much more than anybody else."
As such, Beck unilaterally decided that Cruz was the "Blaze Man of the Year":

publisher: Infinite Game Publishing
developer: Piranha Games
genre: Action
|ESRB rating: RP
release date: 2013
|» All About MechWarrior Online on ActionTrip
The trial mechs are there for players to get their feet wet, experiment with the different roles and play styles while earning some in game currency. But like the flavor of the month at the local ice cream shop these trial mechs are rotated from time so that you are not stuck with the same loaner all the time. This allows the new or thrifty player to experience different weapons and mech variants. When you are ready sign on the dotted line and take home your very own mech, you make your purchase with currency earned through combat missions, called C-Bills or MechWarrior Credits that can be purchased with real world currency via PayPal or credit card.
Mechs are just plain sexy.
Let me see, if I press this button, do I get a latte?
Once you have your own mech you can customize the weapon load out, armor rating and other system components. Purchasing new equipment for your mech customization will cost you yet more C-Bills or MCs to purchase the additional parts, although once you own the items, you can swap them in and out of your fleet to try different builds. This part of the game is quite addicting as it's easy to get caught up in trying to find the perfect balance of armaments, power plants and armor. The interface still needs a bit of tweaking to help new players understand the process, albeit the forums answered any questions I had. Each time the game gets updated and refined new balances are introduced and this creation process gets more user-friendly and more rewarding. When I am not playing my mind keeps wandering and thinking about different configurations that are going to strike the perfect balance for my mech and I have to jump back into the game.
MechWarrior Online is still in Beta. Nonetheless, the gameplay is already so fun that I have ponied up my own real money to purchase in-game currency to further customize my mechs. That is first for me for any free-to-play game. I cannot wait to see how the game turns out once the final touches are in place and the game is released later this year. Even though I may have gotten older MechWarrior Online has made me realize that I still want my own giant robot and is proof that I haven't grown up. Now, if Piranha Games could give me some free money and do something about my acne as well, I'd be set. However if they can't, I'll settle for my own virtual mech (Hope they don't miss the memo on that – Ed. Vader).

U.S. judge dismisses case against Twitter alleging pre-IPO fraud
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Twitter Inc has won the dismissal of an unusual lawsuit accusing the social media company of fraudulently arranging a private stock sale it never intended to complete, with a goal of stoking interest in its November 2013 initial public offering.
U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin in Manhattan said Precedo Capital Group Inc and Continental Advisors SA failed to show that Twitter was responsible for the cancellation of a secondary market offering they had been arranging with another firm, GSV Asset Management Inc.
Filed one week before Twitter went public, the $124 million lawsuit accused the company of using GSV as its agent to arrange the aborted offering as a means to raise more money in its eagerly awaited IPO and justify a $10 billion market valuation.
Noting the plaintiffs dealt directly with GSV and never with Twitter, however, Scheindlin said the complaint "does not plausibly allege that Twitter granted GSV Asset express authority to act as its agent for any purpose.
"Moreover," she added, "the complaint does not allege that Twitter secretly limited that authority contrary to the standard practice in the securities industry."
Scheindlin dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be brought again.
Joseph Baratta, a partner at Baratta, Baratta & Aidala representing the plaintiffs, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Twitter did not immediately respond to similar requests. The San Francisco-based company has said the lawsuit lacked merit.
The lawsuit claimed Twitter had been seeking to avoid repeating problems that afflicted Facebook Inc's 2012 IPO, and sidestep the potential for an excess supply of its shares by controlling transactions in the private market.
Precedo, a broker dealer licensed in Arizona, and Continental, a Luxembourg financial adviser, claimed GSV offered to provide up to $278 million of Twitter shares that they could market to other investors.
But they said that, after the marketing process began, Twitter caused GSV to cancel the offering on October 5, 2013, upon learning that investors were willing to pay $19 per share, above the $17 or less offered in other private transactions.
The firms said Twitter cost them fees and reputational damage and sought $24.2 million of compensatory damages plus $100 million of punitive damages. GSV was not a defendant.
Twitter priced its IPO at $26 per share on November 6, 2013, then valuing the company at $14.1 billion.
Twitter shares were up $1.10, or 2.4 percent, at $46.11 in Monday afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
The case is Precedo Capital Group Inc v. Twitter Inc, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 13-07678.
