Blackburn with Darwen residents healthier than ever
6:00pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in News
A NEW national study shows Blackburn with Darwen residents are the most active they have ever been.
The Active People Survey by Sport England figures for 2012/13 show 25.8per cent of people in the borough took part in sport or active recreation three or more times a week – the highest recorded figure.
The figures represent a rise of more than 9.5per cent from the first survey in 2005-6, when 16.3per cent of residents were taking part.
Blackburn with Darwen is now just 0.2per cent off the national average, which stands at 26.1per cent, and 0.3per cent off the regional average which stands at 26per cent.
Council health boss Mohammed Khan said: "Through our re:fresh programme, local people can now fully indulge their passion for sport and leisure accessing a huge range of leisure, health and wellbeing activities that suit their age and ability.
"We are continuing to strengthen our offer and I would encourage as many people as possible to get active for 2014."
Council leisure boss Damian Talbot said: "To see these new figures and the turnaround in our performance is fantastic and shows just how successful the initiative has been."

Native American Tribe Learning Computer Skills
The University of Wisconsin-Extension (UWEX) in Madison was awarded $2.4 million under the National Telecommunications and Information Administration's Broadband Technologies Opportunities Program. UWEX allotted $174,300 of the grant to underwrite computer classes that the university's affiliate, the College of the Menominee Nation, offers free to tribe members.
Menominee veterans were some of those to take advantage of the computer classes.

CATEGORIES MoviesAfter holding stage readings of "Shampoo" (with Bradley Cooper, Kate Hudson and Olivia Wilde), "The Apartment" (with Steve Carell and Natalie Portman) and "Princess Bride" (with Paul Rudd and Mindy Kaling), director Jason Reitman may have stumbled upon his best idea yet: A recreation of "Reservoir Dogs" with an all-black cast.
"If we were going to make it an all-black cast, we wanted to make sure we started with an all-white cast," Reitman told EW. "What makes the 'Reservoir Dogs' script work so well is, despite the fact that it was cast with all white actors, it really is a script that could feature any race."
So, who has Reitman recruited to play the iconic roles? Terrence Howard will take over ear=slicing duties for Michael Madsen as the loose cannon Mr. Blonde; Howard's "Red Tails" co-star Cuba Gooding Jr. tackles Tim Roth's undercover police officer, Mr. Orange; Anthony Mackie from "The Hurt Locker" is set for Steve Buscemi's Mr. Pink; and Anthony Anderson will play Chris Penn's character, Nice Guy Eddie. (Actually, screw a stage reading; let's make a movie of this!)
However, there are a few parts that still need actors. Here are a few suggestions that Reitman should seriously consider:
- Laurence Fishburne as Harvey Keitel's Mr. White
- Donald Glover as Quentin Tarantino's Mr. Brown (can't wait for the 'Like a Virgin' discussion)
- Michael B. Jordan ("Chronicle") as Kirk Baltz's Officer Marvin Nash
- James Earl Jones as Lawrence Tierney's Joe Cabot
- Morgan Freeman as Steven Wright's K-Billy DJ -- Super Sounds of the '70s
The stage reading is set to happen on Feb. 16 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Sorry folks, tickets are already sold out. For more information on the series, Film Independent and LACMA, click here.

Blue Cross to Add 24 Stories to HQ Building in Chicago
July 26, 2006
By Dees Stribling, Midwest Correspondent
Chicago-based Health Care Service Corp., which operates health insurance giant Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Illinois, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico, plans to expand its current headquarters building in the East Loop district of downtown Chicago from about 1.4 million square feet to 2.2 million square feet. The project is scheduled for completion in 2010, with 24 stories to be added on top of the existing 30 stories at 300 E. Randolph.
The unusual plan still needs approval by the city of Chicago. Considering the eagerness with which the city courts corporate headquarters, however, the prospect of a company that wants to expand its main office in Chicago will probably not be a difficult sell.
"300 E. Randolph was originally designed to be vertically expanded; the only question was when," an HCSC spokesperson told CPN this afternoon. "It makes sense now because our growth means that we've had to relocate core staff in other buildings, and we want them back in the same place."
When the insurance giant moved into the building in 1997, shortly after the structure was completed, it had about 3 million members. Now it has 11 million. "Once the expansion is finished, all of the core functions--executives, finance, legal, tax, IT and so forth--will occupy the original space and part of the new space," the spokesperson said.
The expanded building will accommodate about 8,000 workers, roughly 4,400 of whom will work for HCSC. The company will lease the rest of the new space to other tenants, something it cannot do now.

As police still try to piece together exactly what happened on the University of Rhode Island campus, students are learning more from a chilling recording taken inside the classroom where the scare started. Rose Hanan was in the class, using a recording software to capture the lecture. She ended up with a whole lot more.
"It gave me the chills the first time I heard it back," Hanan said.
You can hear the teacher giving a lesson, when all of the sudden, a muffled voice shouts, "I'm a nice guy." Then another person screams, "Oh my God," followed by chaotic screams from students in panic.
"I remember having a moment where I was like I'm definitely going to get shot right now," Hanan said. "I'm probably going to die."Hanan says she remembers hearing the voice coming from the back of the lecture hall, but she looked back and no one was there. Students a classroom over heard it too. Students a classroom over heard it too. "We all thought it was a dog barking, but we looked at our teachers face and she was just petrified," student Isabelle Van Coeverden said. After that, they started to run. Some did not make it very far. Danielle Harris, Sprained Ankle Trying to Get Out"Everyone was just falling down the stairs in the lecture hall. I got trampled," Danielle Harris said, who ended up on crutches with a sprained ankle after trying to get out.Fortunately no one was seriously hurt. Police say there is no evidence that there was ever an active shooter on campus, but they have yet to find who the voice on the recording belongs to. So for now students like are left with nothing but a muffled recording, as they try to understand exactly what happened in their classroom. "He says 'I'm a nice guy. I'm a nice guy.' That confuses me," Hanan said. "Why would he say 'I'm a nice guy,' if he didn't have a gun?"
No evidence of a real gun has been found on the University of Rhode Island Campus. A nerf gun was found in a backpack in the classroom, but it is unknown whether or not it is connected to the scare.

As the Auto Club 500 rolls into its second half, Dale Earnhardt Jr. just picked up the free pass to get back on the lead lap.
Earnhardt Jr. had driven up to 18th place but then was caught speeding entering pit road. He fell back to 30th place after the penalty and was lapped.
But his fans have been wondering today: What gives?
Earnhardt Jr. was supposed to be much improved this season, and Fontana is the first big test. Instead, it just looks like the same old – at least so far.
Who do you blame? Lance McGrew? And if so, is McGrew worse than Tony Eury Jr.?
We'd like to know what Dale Jr. fans are thinking.

Two weeks ago a snowstorm caught many educators by surprise. Thousands of students across central Alabama were forced to say at schools because it was too dangerous to try and get them home.
Educators are faced making another call this week about calling off school or delaying school over the next couple of days.
"It's a borderline situation. You want to get in a couple of days of school but safety is the most important thing for us. We are concerned about the safety of the kids," Dr. Stephen Nowlin, Jefferson County School Superintendent, said.
Nowlin said the school system wants to wait as long as possible to make a decision so they have the most current information while at the same time he wants to give parents as much notice as possible so they can make arrangements.
"In our case we have a very large footprint as a county as a school system as being a transportation map," Nowlin said.
Nowlin said the school system has two snow days to make up for lost time. The school system lost three days of classroom instruction two weeks ago because of the weather but Governor Robert Bentley had declared a state of emergency so the school systems can apply not to make up those days.
If schools lose one or two days this week Nowlin said students and teachers may be forced to work Monday which is President's Day.
"We were scheduled to be off then as a weather day and also as a holiday but as a possible weather makeup day and since as a school system e missed hose days already we intend to go in," Nowlin said.
The superintendent said adding time to a day and working on weekends are not as effective for the students.

The Torah Commentary of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach: Genesis Part II <top>
The Torah Commentary of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach provides a glimpse into the unusual way in which the late Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach received and transmitted Torah. It also aids the reader in bridging "Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach the great composer/singer" and "Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach the great scholar/teacher." Those who sing his songs, but do not learn his Torah, only sing half a song. When Reb Shlomo speaks of Abraham and Sara, you are sure he is speaking about his own grandparents. When delving into the lives of Isaac, Rebecca, Jacob, Rachel and Leah, it is as if he is speaking of his own parents.

Great Letters - <top>
Dear Happy Minyan,
We live in a world where many people speak about the negative. Unfortunately, the positive is overlooked or taken for granted. I believe, as I'm sure you do, that it is incumbent upon us to accentuate and highlight the positive. This thinking has brought me to write this letter to you. I hope you will indulge me in some run-on sentences and sporadic rambling.
I love The Happy Minyan. I feel excitement flowing through my body just writing about it now. I believe that anyone who has walked through the door loves it. I feel comfortable being me and acting like myself when I am in the presence of the minyan, and that is no small feat in today's world. I walk through the door and I am greeted in an extremely warm manner. Many others get up and walk towards me with Shabbat greetings as well. It is a very inclusive feeling. It doesn't matter how much money I have in the bank or what I do for a living. I would be treated exactly the same way. I look around the room and see people in suits and others in jeans and a t-shirt. Kippah sruga, velvet kippah, suede, colorful head coverings. All colors of the rainbow. And yet, we gravitate to this one special place. What matters most is the inside of the inside and what we yearn for.
The dancing and singing is invigorating, the divrei torah are inspiring, the guest rabbis are diverse. It is not your usual hum-drum, run-of-the-mill meeting place. It is a place vibrant with life which challenges me to grow, expand and open up. It is a place where I am loved unconditionally, where I am accepted with open arms, where I feel needed, where I participate within a community and where my soul feels at home.
I write this letter with great humbleness as well as great pride. Humbleness for being around such amazing people. And pride for the fact that I can call you my friends. The Minyan has taught me that every person is beautiful, special and unique. It has taught me the meaning of joy, oneness and happiness. Thank you for being my teachers and for being you.
I have been through a lot in my life, as I'm sure you have. I have tried various ways to connect to my soul. Today I feel more solid and balanced. I wanted to take a moment out of my day to sit down and acknowledge that I do not believe I would be the person I am today without my participation in The Happy Minyan.
With many blessings to you,
David Perl

The Soul of Shabbos
by Reb Shlomo Carlebach
Shabbos invites all those who need new energy, all those who have been broken by the world of the six days, who need the world of Shabbos to make their brokeness whole again.
Shabbos invites all those who have so far only felt the pain of life and are crying for the joy, the bliss, the unbelievable heavenliness of being alive in a world created by G-d.
Shabbos invites all those who are tired of walking slowly, who only cover a spiritual inch per lifetime on their journeys. Shabbos invites all those who have travelled through the valleys of sadness, of waiting and waiting all the time. Shabbos is to get to the top of the mountain in one second, and there discover even higher mountains that we may have
never ever seen before.
Will you accept the invitation of Shabbos?

ATLANTA -- Josh Smith posted his second career triple-double and the Atlanta Hawks recovered in the fourth quarter to beat the Chicago Bulls 91-81 on Friday night.
Smith had 18 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists as the Hawks recovered after trailing by six to open the final period. The Hawks took the lead with two 8-0 runs in the fourth.
Joe Johnson had 18 points and Jamal Crawford added 17 for Atlanta.
Smith set up a jumper by Mike Bibby with 2:13 remaining for his 10th assist, matching his career high.
Luol Deng had 20 points and eight rebounds, and Derrick Rose scored 19 points for the Bulls, who lost their third straight.
The Bulls led 70-64 entering the fourth before the Hawks opened the quarter with an 8-0 run, capped by Al Horford's jam.
Atlanta took the lead for good when a basket by Johnson with 7:46 broke a 72-all tie and started another 8-0 run for the Hawks.
The Hawks crushed the Bulls 118-83 on Dec. 9 in Atlanta in Chicago's most lopsided loss of the season, but the rematch was no runaway.
Atlanta ended the Bulls' recent trend of road wins against teams with winning records. Chicago closed a seven-game road trip from Jan. 18-29 with five consecutive victories over teams with winning records.
The Hawks improved to 21-5 at Philips Arena with their fifth straight home win.
Chicago's Kirk Hinrich had 13 points and a season-high nine rebounds.
Bulls center Joakim Noah was in Chicago receiving treatment for plantar fasciiitis, a painful irritation and swelling of the bottom of the heel. He is not expected to return to action until after the All-Star break. Brad Miller was the fill-in starter and had 10 points, all in the first half.
The Hawks scored the first eight points and led throughout the first half. Atlanta's biggest lead was 38-27 following a 3-pointer by Crawford.
The Bulls trailed only 50-46 at halftime and took their first lead at 56-55 on a Taj Gibson jam in the third quarter.
The Hawks' last triple-double was by Johnson against Oklahoma City on Dec. 23, 2008.

"It is such a wonderful feeling to work on something like this knowing it will make someone's life better," Penny said. This is an ongoing project of the guild, and more quilts will be made for distribution. The Santa Clarita Valley ...

That daily hype doesn't always dovetail with what Wells Fargo Advisors top strategists are observing in the financial marketplace.

Haun to face jury trial in July
The former Kimball city councilman sentenced to prison last summer for the attempted first degree sexual assault of a child will face trial in July on two felony counts in a different case.
Scott Haun entered not guilty pleas Friday in Scotts Bluff County District Court to charges of theft of property and abuse of a vulnerable adult. Haun is accused of taking money from a woman's probate account while he was acting as the woman's conservator and guardian.
Haun is alleged to have taken nearly $20,000 from an account established for Doris Anderson of Kimball over 18 months beginning in May of 2010 to pay for his personal credit cards, and for cash. Haun is also accused of trying to cover up the withdrawals by inflating Anderson's expenditures, including her boarding costs.
The not guilty pleas mean 50 year old Haun will face trial in Scotts Bluff County District Court during the July jury term.

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Mercer County is working closely with middle-school youths in need of academic support to help them reach their full potential. Addressing our nation's drop-out crisis is a national problem, and the Boys & Girls Club is part of the solution.
With support from Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the NJ Department of Justice, the Boys & Girls Club of Mercer County has implemented Be Great, Graduate, a new academic success strategy.
Be Great, Graduate features:
In September 2010, the Boys & Girls Club enrolled 100 kids from our after-school membership who met selected background criteria indicating risk for dropping out of school. This pilot group is being tracked through high school graduation and will participate in all three phases of the program.
Torch Clubs are chartered, small-group leadership and service clubs for boys and girls ages 11 to 13. Torch Clubs are conducted at each of our after-school program sites that serve middle-school kids.
A Torch Club is a powerful vehicle through which Club staff members can help meet the special character development needs of younger adolescents at a critical stage in their life.
Torch Club members learn to elect officers and work together to implement activities in four areas: service to Club and community; education; health and fitness; and social recreation.
Members plan and implement their own activities and community service projects. The Staples National Torch Club Awards are presented annually to Torch Clubs with outstanding programs and activities in each area.
Last year, the Torch Club at the Boys & Girls Club's Gregory School program site earned 2nd place nationally in the category of Service to the Club and Community for its proposal to help fifth-graders make a smooth transition to middle school.
Career Explorers provides career exploration activities for children ages nine to 15 before they are of employment age and is designed to educate boys and girls about career opportunities and orient them to the world of work.
Tween Conferences
Tween conferences are educational events for middle school girls and boys that consist of activities and workshops on various topics including health and wellness, community service, and public speaking. Club kids can participate in rock climbing and arts and crafts during the conference, followed by raffle giveaways, and a dance social.
Tween Rock Events
Following every tween conference and educational workshop is a tween rock event where club kids can attend a tween-only party for only $1. Tweens who do not attend the day's educational workshop pay $5. Past educational topics have included Facebook etiquette,financial literacy, and a discussion on the dangers of "sexting".

Picture of SF's extreme income equality worth thousands of words
Sometimes visuals paint a picture in a visceral way that mere numbers can't, and that was the case when the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project recently released a graph highlighting the magnitude of San Francisco's high rate of income inequality growth and how it compares to other major cities around the country. San Francisco's purple bubble is floating way up, all alone, above Atlanta, Georgia's orange bubble and everyone else closely grouped together.
The graph's findings reveal the sad but well-known fact that San Francisco is widely unequal, and it comes as little surprise that from 2007 to 2012, SF saw its income gap grow faster than any other major city in the United States.
The visualization cited a Brookings Institute report on income inequality released in February, which found the income of San Francisco's low-earning residents (more specifically, those in the 20th percentile of yearly income) dropped by an average of $4,000 during that timespan, while the highest-earning residents (the 95th percentile) saw their income jump by an average of $28,000 over the same period. The latter figure was the largest gain in any American city, and it affirms what's already clear to city residents: The rich are getting richer while the poor continue to get poorer.
That message might seem like old news to those familiar with San Francisco's income inequality issues, but the truly alarming part of the study is the rate at which the trend is occurring. Though it provides further confirmation of an unpleasant fact that has plagued San Francisco residents for years, the unprecedented speed of the income gap's increase is especially startling given the efforts to rectify the issue. As the mapping project pointed out, "trickle-down economics does not appear to be working" in San Francisco.
The gap has become so pronounced that the city's 2012 GINI Coefficient (which measures income distribution) of .523 would make it the 14th-most economically unequal country in the world if San Francisco were its own nation. That's right in line with countries that are widely known for their income inequality, like Paraguay and Chile, and more than twice as unequal as top-ranked Sweden.
Perhaps the best indication of this growing division has been the drastic increase in evictions throughout the city. The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project has worked to shed light on the issue, releasing time lapses showing the evictions while making it clear that seniors and disabled people aren't immune to the trend either.
The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project is probably best known for protesting the Google tech buses, whose effects on local communities they've researched extensively. The organizations' maps showlinks between the location of bus stops and a large number of evictions in the same areas.
Developing nations with income gaps akin to San Francisco's don't have tech buses driving around their streets, so it's no surprise that the buses' unpaid use of public bus stops hasn't left residents of lower income areas particularly thrilled, especially with the tech sector pushing up the price of housing in those areas while contributing heavily to the results of the Brookings Institute report.
It wouldn't be so unequal if progressives hadn't fucked up the schools so badly.
drives more affluent parents to either send their kids to private school or to leave SF. But then the wealthy moving out of town increases equality, while of course doing absolutely nothing for the poor.
Greater equality by itself may not be a good thing.
that's a trollish comment if ever i've seen one. best if it is left unanswered.
There's still plenty of free stuff for the poors.
It doesn't mean we have any more poor people, and in fact the poor in SF would be considered wealthy in many other places.
Detroit is more equal than SF. Is that the goal?
Either we do what the boosters say or we want to live in Detroit, it is just that simple.
But the fact remains that equality is no indicator of prosperity. If everyone is equal but poor, that isn't preferable to a diversity of outcomes.
You like diversity, right?
By inviting a poor family to live in your million-dollar condo.
He could volunteer or give to charity.
But instead he tells others what they should do.
Either we do what the boosters say or the boosters attack those who challenge them with ad hominem.
thought was worth adopting.
Of course, you can reduce income inequality in San Francisco by having poor people move to Oakland.
Displacement of the poor is the solution to inequality!
So, happily, income inequality in San Francisco is a temporary problem - rich people will continue to move in, and poor people will continue to move out.
There is little income inequality in Atherton and Hillsborough!
Problem solved!
Evidently some progressives do not want diversity. They want all the poor in one place and all the rich in another, forever segregated from each other.
bad indicator of anything. If a billionaire moves into your neighborhood, then that neighborhood becomes more unequal even though it simultaneously becomes more prosperous.
Likewise, a poor person leaving reduces inequality while having no other significance.
Americans like the disparity of outcomes because it shows that talent and effort can be rewarded. We want a meritocracy and not a nanny state punishing winners and rewarding losers.
how does a billionaire moving in a neighborhood automatically make that neighborhood more prosperous?
and will hire people to perform services.
Hahaha! Spend locally? A billionaire will not be around enough to spend locally, if he or she is around at all. Look at Hyde Park in London or the poshest places in NYC. Those units stay unlit and vacant most of the time because they are investment properties or 4th, 5th, etc homes.
spend more than you do in a year.
Billionaires don't spend much time in the Mission.
I see him in his VW quite a lot in 94110 and 94114.
Yeah, dropping mega coin at wise sons.
which helps hire locals and adds to the taxbase.
$100 is more than I spend in a year?
spend more than you do in a year.
What EXACTLY do you have against nannies? Nannies are people, usually women, who take care of people's kids. Stop using the term "nanny state" and say what you mean.
taken to apply to those situations where a government takes an over-bearing, over-controlling invasive level of control over individual freedoms in the misguided belief that bureaucrats somehow know what is better for people than the people themselves.
"the income of San Francisco's low-earning residents (more specifically, those in the 20th percentile of yearly income) dropped by an average of $4,000 during that timespan, while the highest-earning residents (the 95th percentile) saw their income jump by an average of $28,000 over the same period"
This could also be explained by restrictive building policies that squeeze out all but high earners and those who have won the rent control/affordable housing lottery.
"The gap has become so pronounced that the city's 2012 GINI Coefficient (which measures income distribution) of .523 would make it the 14th-most economically unequal country in the world if San Francisco were its own nation."
And if San Francisco were a city?
"That's right in line with countries that are widely known for their income inequality, like Paraguay and Chile, and more than twice as unequal as top-ranked Sweden."
More than twice as unequal, just like a 6.1 earthquake is more than twice as bad as a 3.0 earthquake? Chile's Gini coefficient is higher than many other Latin American countries, but it's poverty is lower. Which country is better for the poor?
"Developing nations with income gaps akin to San Francisco's don't have tech buses driving around their streets, so it's no surprise that the buses' unpaid use of public bus stops hasn't left residents of lower income areas particularly thrilled"
Apple, so Orange. Yuppie bad!
Such wonderful economic diversity. Way to go San Francisco!
I'm old enough to remember when cities were by and large blighted, impoverished ghettos, visited by the affluent only during work hours, before commuting home to the suburbs.
So let agree that if you have 2 people with like jobs and one earns 90K and the other 70K that is income inequality. Ok you libs, so tell me this. If the one who earns 90K as 3 children and stay at home partner and the one who earns 70K, which one now experiences the income inequality? Don't take much to blow your theory out of the water does it!
And envy is ugly.
Income inequality kills capitalism by sapping demand.
remains the same.
In fact, those with wealth create wealth. Take a look at somewhere like Bulgaria if you want to see the effect of penalizing success.
There is only so much one person can consume.
Bill Gates is "worth," to use the distorted capitalist meaning of the term, as much as 100,000,000 Americans put together. But try as he might, he can never eat as much as 100,000,000 Americans. He will never purchase as much housing as 100,000,000 Americans. He will never wear as much clothes, or need as many cars.
So inevitably, some of the wealth that rich people accumulate is merely hoarded. Even if you believe in the theory that rich people create more wealth (by waving the magic wand with their invisible hand, I presume?), you must admit that *some* of that wealth remains idle. By contrast, virtually 100% of the wealth that working class people acquire, gets pumped back into the economy, generating more demand.
The most efficient way of improving the economy has always been to pursue policies that minimize inequality and top-heavy wealth accumulation.
As for Bulgaria... Bulgaria is capitalist.
It is all either invested or given to his Foundation that does good the world over.
Ditto for Buffett.
But that wealth donated abroad does not stimulate demand domestically. Where did you learn economics, Ayn Rand's Romper Room?
Questioning why some people have been allowed to accumulate the wealth of literally millions of other people, when clearly they aren't as productive as all those people put together... that's bad envy.
But envy directed at the few working class people who still manage to receive living wages and pensions... that's good envy.
Conservative logic at its best.
Apple makes money by selling me a product I choose to buy: not a problem.
Public unions buy politicians who force me to pay for their unfunded pensions: a problem.
You choose to live here and use the services provided by these workers. If no one used the services, then they wouldn't exist. I don't see the problem here.
when the city creates a useless operation like the dept of Environment and then creates idiotic laws for these people to enforce, not much of a way for me to opt out of that is there?
They have created wealth by giving people what they want.
Can't we just ship the poors to Aspen? At least there they could ski and we wouldn't have to hear them whine so much about being society's losers.
They prefer squalor to luxury.
Super easy to be a jealous spread-the-wealth communist with the income and assets of OTHER folks.
See the ROT of the 1917-1991 USSR regime.
See the jealous Cain killing Abel in the old book - aka the Bible.
I always used to point out the undeniable fact that under communism, Russia achieved the highest standard of living it ever had... before, or since.
To be fair, I can't really say that anymore as of the last few years. But then that's mainly due to Putin purging the US-supported neoliberal thieves who brought the country to its knees in the 1990s and kicking out the American corporations with them, redistributing some of the oil wealth down to the people.
...Probably not something that supports your argument either.
North Korea, South Korea. East Germany, West Germany. Which ones did (and do) better?
poster child for economic success. An equal society where everyone is poor and miserable is not an improvement on an unequal society where some are doing very well and even the poor are better off than they would be in most "equal" nations.
Less equal societies are not richer than more equal societies. There is extensive research (see: Wilkinson and Pickett) that shows the exact opposite. After a certain income level, all social ills decline with less inequality.

The murky Miami Dolphins quarterback situation should clear up by the end of this week, as coach Joe Philbin strongly hinted the decision will come after Friday's exhibition game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Both Ryan Tannehill and Matt Moore struggled a bit in a 23-17 loss against the Carolina Panthers. Tannehill went 11-of-23 for 100 yards and Moore was only 5-of-15 for 57 yards.
Philbin said the Dolphins are slowly going to start nailing down the personnel after the players hit the practice field for the first time since Friday.
"We may have a decision soon, or we may play it out another week. That's still up in the air. We certainly haven't come to any decision on that right now."
He lauded his two potential starting quarterbacks for not turning the ball over and time management skills, but that is about where the praise of his assessment ended.
"Do we have to be better? Yeah. Were there some accuracy issues? Sure. Was there a time or two our quarterbacks could have stepped up to avoid pressure? Absolutely."
Veteran David Garrard was initially believed to be the favorite to start for the Dolphins, but he is out for two to four weeks after undergoing surgery. Rookie first-round pick Tannehill is advertised as the future for the franchise but hasn't been able to prove it on the field quite yet.
The Texas A&M product was the first Dolphins quarterback selected in the first round of the draft since Dan Marino in 1983.

Senior libero Courtney Herschberger has become Taylor University volleyball's all-time digs leader after a recent 24-dig performance in a 25-15, 21-25, 17-25, 26-24, 15-11 Crossroads League loss to Bethel.
The Fairfield High School graduate broke the record of 2,674 digs held by Rachel Malinsky in the fifth set of the contest with Bethel. With 24 digs against Bethel, Herschberger's career total now stands at 2,679 digs.
"It's really a great honor and I really can't attribute very much of it to my own skills," Herschberger said in an interview on the Taylor Web site. "Our coach, she really brought me along a long way. I am really blessed to be in a great program."
In her last three seasons at Taylor, Herschberger has ranked in the top three on the team for digs per set, averaging nearly five digs per set each season. This year she is continuing her dominance averaging just below five digs per set.
Herschberger moved to the libero position at Taylor after playing as an outside hitter at Fairfield where she was coached by her mom Carla Hershberger. Hershberger has helped Taylor to a 120-35 record during her career, including a 51-5 mark in Crossroads League play and a 51-7 record at home.
"I would say she is one of the best liberos in our region, hands down, and is definitely respected nationally for the things she does," Taylor head coach Brittany Smith said.
Junior libero Amanda Troyer (Elkhart Memorial) had 20 digs, senior setter Lindsay Marks (Memorial) 27 assists and nine digs and senior outside hitter Callie (Hartman) Patrick 11 kills for Bethel in a 23-25, 25-13, 25-18, 25-16 win over Goshen College in Crossroads League action.

CATEGORIES Hot TopicWhile it might have initially seemed like Robert Pattinson's latest movie, 'Remember Me,' would be generating controversy and debate over whether it proves that the 'Twilight' star has real acting chops, it has actually caused a big stir among critics and audiences because of its incredibly dramatic (and some feel overwrought) final minutes.
Its big twist seems to be overshadowing the rest of the picture for some and is undoubtedly drawing attention away from the fact that, despite its low 27% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the film features solid performances from Pattinson and co-star Emilie de Ravin ('Lost').
(SPOILER ALERT! If you have not seen the film and do not want to know the ending, read no further as the climax is revealed and discussed in detail after the jump.) While it might have initially seemed like Robert Pattinson's latest movie, 'Remember Me,' would be generating controversy and debate over whether it proves that the 'Twilight' star has real acting chops, it has actually caused a big stir among critics and audiences because of its incredibly dramatic (and some feel overwrought) final minutes.
Its big twist seems to be overshadowing the rest of the picture for some and is undoubtedly drawing attention away from the fact that, despite its low 27% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the film features solid performances from Pattinson and co-star Emilie de Ravin ('Lost').
(SPOILER ALERT! If you have not seen the film and do not want to know the ending, read no further as the climax is revealed and discussed in detail below.)
In the film, Pattinson plays Tyler, a troubled NYU student who lives in a grungy Manhattan apartment despite coming from an affluent home. He is coping with the loss of his older brother, who committed suicide, and when he meets a fellow student named Ally (de Ravin), who saw her mother gunned down by a mugger when she was 11, he finds an equally damaged soulmate. The two both have family issues to contend with -- her overprotective cop father (Chris Cooper), his emotionally estranged lawyer father (Pierce Brosnan) -- as well as the fact Tyler dated Ally initially on a mean-spirited dare from an obnoxious friend (which blows up in his face when he actually falls for her).
By the climax of the film, a lot of family bonding has ensued, and the two lovers have started to heal the rift between them. Then, when Tyler is waiting for his father in his law office (on their own way to making amends), we see him looking out of the window, hopefully. The camera cranes back, and we see that Tyler's standing in one of The World Trade Center's Twin Towers. It's then spelled out -- literally, on a chalkboard in his little sister's classroom -- that the date is Sept. 11, 2001, and it's obvious what's going to happen next. When the devastation comes, it is implied rather than graphically depicted. Still, the event packs 'Remember Me' with a big wallop that has infuriated some viewers and moved others.
Critics have vastly different opinions about the film's jarring denouement:
Rolling Stone's Peter Travers declared in his capsule review: "It's all weepy drool until the twist ending, which is shockingly offensive."
Lisa Kennedy of the Denver Post assessed: "The finale manages to be tasteful and exploitative at the same time. It touts forgiveness while being mildly infuriating. Such is the danger of borrowing from the enormous to merely entertain. If that. Forgettable should be the last thing a movie touching on the events of 9/11 should be. Yet 'Remember Me' is just that."
Stephen Whitty of Newark's Star-Ledger, who liked the film, revealed in his review: "Movie fans should know that the story takes an abrupt third-act twist and tacks on the sort of arbitrary, 'significant' ending that's better left to first-year creative-writing assignments."
Rebecca Murray of About.com observed: "Even if you disapprove of just where the film goes, the story building up to the final climatic twist is moving and real."
Manohla Dargis of the New York Times, who liked Pattinson's performance, stated: "Along the way, many people die but few matter: most are just part of the warm-up act as well as the means to a shamelessly exploitative end."
Boo Allen of the Denton Record Chronicle charged: "'Remember Me' wallows deepest in shame by concluding its treacly treatise by drawing on the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in a final plea for emotion. Unforgivable."
Audiences seem a little more forgiving. In the 'Remember Me' user reviews page on Moviefone, MissPink1189 writes, "This movie has definitely changed my life ... Some say too soon for an ending like that, but it just makes the story that much better." Jenniebruan22 wrote that she lives in New York, "and I didn't find the end distasteful at all. In fact it made me see the movie in a much more profound way." Says ARod73: "The surprise ending leaves a lasting [message] of living life with a purpose , embracing the small moments of happiness and not waiting to tell someone how you feel, tell them now." Still, Dmachone thinks, "The ending of this movie is unbelievably out of line."
It is understandable that some people found the ending shocking -- there are many New Yorkers and those beyond who lost someone in the 9/11 tragedy -- but when critics use words like "unforgivable" and "offensive," it not only condemns the filmmakers of outright exploitation and tastelessness, but it seems to render the subject taboo in some manner. While for most people the ending will come as a shock, it does add some emotional impact to the story. Could a smaller tragedy have sufficed in place of the Twin Tower collapse? Probably, but somehow utilizing an event that all of us feel connected to adds further impact to the story, and it also contemplates the idea of how many other deeply interwoven stories ended on that fateful day, and what they were like.
One can argue that the inclusion of 9/11 is unnecessary and insensitive, and that such a major public trauma did not need to be part of the film's more intimate story. One could also argue that the film does not linger long on or exploit images of the devastation. We do not see the planes hit the towers, but we do see the smoldering buildings from a distance and watch most of the film's characters looking towards downtown Manhattan in horror, knowing that Tyler is trapped there. We see his diary landing amid the rubble. The events are not used to make a political statement, but a personal one, although they are rendered within an unexpected plot twist that has left many people feeling uneasy or angry.
The filmmakers undoubtedly knew their ending would be polarizing, and Summit Entertainment took a gamble with it. A safe bet would have been to film a less controversial finale. By the same token, 'Remember Me' focuses on the tragedy that befalls us when we live our lives full of conflict, anger and bitterness and fail to appreciate the happy and joyous moments when they come -- or to learn to forgive, make amends and move forward with our lives. And how many of us appreciated those sentiments more after the horrifying shock of 9/11?
'Remember Me' is not the first and will certainly not be the last film to incorporate 9/11 into a cinematic storyline. Like most major tragedies and wartime events, it will undoubtedly be filtered through a pop culture lens well into the future. It is 2010, and we are still making movies about the Holocaust and WWII (for example), and some of them have certainly been politically incorrect and generated debate. Perhaps 'Remember Me' director Allen Coulter and screenwriter Will Fetters were thinking about this when they created this story and brought it to the screen. Or perhaps not. (Coulter has said he was initially tentative about using the ending.)
At least they have us talking, not only about the film's message, but how we are still polarized by and dealing with the aftermath of a major catastrophic event. The emotional conflict that it has stirred is in keeping with the spirit of the film. Better that reaction than indifference.

Runners take on Hampton Court Marathon to raise money for killed PC Andrew Duncan fund
5:30am Thursday 27th February 2014 in News By Mike Murphy-Pyle, Chief Reporter
A team of runners took on a gruelling challenge in memory of killed policeman PC Andrew Duncan.
Traffic cop PC Duncan, from East Molesey, was killed by hit-and-run driver Gary Cody in Sutton during a routine patrol last year.
The PC Andrew Duncan Memorial Fund has been set up by his sister Julia Williamson to raise money for charities that were close to the father-of-three's heart.
Family, friends and former colleagues of PC Duncan took on the Hampton Court Half Marathon on Sunday.
Mrs Williamson said: "It was very windy on Sunday and we were running into the wind at lot of the course.
"Our family came to watch, it was very emotional. We had 25 running and the whole team were amazing, everyone made it to the finish line.
"We had tremendous support throughout the run from friends and the local community cheering us on."
The team raised £8,300 in sponsorship. To donate, visit www.mydonate.bt.com or www.pcandrewduncanmemorialfund.co.uk.

I've never been to this part of the country before, but am passing through on a roadtrip and would love to get some climbing in. The thing is, I'm travelling alone, so wondering if people have advice for places where I could meet other climbers. I also would love to hear suggestions of must-see places if I only have a few days in the area (maybe a week if I'm having too much fun). And if anyone would like to join me, I'd be down to climb just about anywhere (sport/trad) from roughly 23rd - 28th. Thanks! Chuck
Other than emailing people from the partner finder for the areas through which you will travel, you could also look on meetup.com for postings of local climbing groups. If the meetups aren't looking promising, try looking through the members and emailing the ones who seem most to your preference...
Hey chuck, I'll be available to climb Tues+Wednesday next week. I'll be roadtripping around Az, so if you are up for some climbing it'd be great. I'll have a full trad rack with me. Let me know 347-405-0211 -Johan
Thanks guys! I just made it to the Tucson area (and internet). Will try your suggestions to find a climbing partner. Cheers!

Menlo Park Teen Advises Republican Party
Original post made by Jack Hickey on Mar 18, 2013
on Mar 18, 2013 at 10:19 am
I agree that the Republican Party is dead unless they let up on their bigotry policies that they have advocated since the 1960s. Women, non-whites, and gays are gaining their political and corporate voices. Continuing to belittle these groups is destroying the Republican Party.
on Mar 18, 2013 at 11:35 am
Paul K. wrote: "You never hear, "Republicans lose elections because they want a stable economy and don't want to bury future generations in debt." "
Perhaps young Master Kiraly should do a little reading about the recent past and ask some questions of his parents:
- "Mommy, which Republican presidents have had a balanced budget, or left a surplus? They always talk about it when they're out of power, but who actually walked the walk?"
- "Daddy, why did Republican George Bush create the first trillion dollar deficit in history, after being left a budget surplus by Democrat Bill Clinton?"
Or possibly:
- "Mother, Father - how are we supposed to pay for the residual trillions in Iraq war costs (vet health costs, rebuilding the military, etc...)? You know, the war that was caused by Bush and Cheney declaring that Saddam absolutely had WMD, and we would absolutely be greeted as liberators? Or would be paid for by Iraqi oil?"
You're a smart kid, Paul, keep learning. And don't hide behind the "it's only the social issues that cause intelligent Californians to detest the GOP" meme. We detest the GOP for SO many reasons.
on Mar 18, 2013 at 12:59 pm
Perhaps Mr Kiraly or Mr Hicky can enlighten us on frivilous use of lawsuits.

Claiming its new marine audio dock is 40 percent more powerful than competitive units on the market, Fusion represents a great way to add a soundtrack to every on-the-water outing.
The fully marinized MS-IP500 conceals an iPod in its waterproof body and allows users to select and play songs by artist, song, album and genre directly through the stereo interface. The unit's faceplate flips down for easy iPod insertion and removal. Designed specifically for use while boating and underway, the Fusion System is Sirius Satellite Radio-ready and includes an AM/FM tuner. The system supplies up to four zones, with an incredible 70 watts of output power per zone. Available in metallic gray or white, the new Fusion stereos are housed in a die-cast chassis that dissipates heat buildup.
Other specifications include a bright 3.2-inch FSTN transflective LCD display with variable backlight illumination, rotary volume knob, 12- or 24-hour clock, 70-watt power output, four-zone support, electronic bass, treble and balance control, 100 Hz base and 10 kH treble for clear sound reproduction and an auxiliary-in port for expansion capability. The Fusion MS-IP500 with iPod lists for $399. The MS-IP500 dock alone retails for $49. Find all Fusion products exclusively at West Marine. Fusion Electronics; www.fusionelectronics.com.
