Marikana mine workers massacred by South African police
Two videos follow the storyAl Jazeera reports: "South African police killed 34 people (now estimated at 45) in a shooting at a mine in North West province, the country's police chief says.
"Officers shot at the workers who were protesting on Thursday afternoon over pay at the Lonmin platinum mine in Marikana, some 100km northwest of Johannesburg.
"The incident, which police said was an act of self-defense, appears to be one of the bloodiest police operations since the end of white-minority rule in 1994 in Africa's biggest economy. …
"In a front page editorial, The Sowetan newspaper questioned what had changed since 1994. 'It has happened in this country before where the apartheid regime treated black people like objects,' the paper said."
Update: The Times of Johannesburg reports Aug. 18 that the miners are even more defiant in the wake of the massacre: "Makhosi Mbongane, a 32-year-old winch operator, said mine managers should have come to the striking workers rather than send police." Strikers are demanding monthly salary raises from R5,400 ($648) to R12,500 ($1,500), according to CNN. The Times continues: "Mbongane vowed that he was not going back to work and would not allow anyone else to do so either.
"'They can beat us, kill us and kick and trample on us with their feet, do whatever they want to do, we aren't going to go back to work,' he told The Associated Press. 'If they employ other people, they won't be able to work either. We will stay here and kill them.' …
"The shootings 'awaken us to the reality of the time bomb that has stopped ticking – it has exploded,' The Sowetan newspaper said in a front-page editorial Friday. 'Africans are pitted against each other … They are fighting for a bigger slice of the mineral wealth of the country.'"
Mine operator Lonmin is the world's third largest supplier of platinum. Most of its 28,000 employees work at the Marikana mine, according to CNN.
Solidarity with mine workers at Marikana Platinum
by Abahlali baseMjondolo (Shack Dwellers Union)
We wish to express our solidarity to all the families of the workers that have been killed and injured. We share your sorrow. You are not alone. We carry our pain together. Your children may not grow knowing their fathers but they will not grow alone. We have to care for each other and stand together as we struggle for a world that puts human beings first and treats all human beings equally.
We wish to express our solidarity to all struggling workers. We face the same system that makes some people rich and others poor. We face the same government that refuses to recognize our humanity, which tries to force us to the margins of society and which represses us when we resist.
Your children may not grow knowing their fathers but they will not grow alone. We have to care for each other and stand together as we struggle for a world that puts human beings first and treats all human beings equally.
The ANC (African National Congress) have shown no regard for the people of this country. They are putting us in transit camps and trying to keep us in bantustans. They are leaving us to burn in our shacks every winter. They are beating us in the police stations. They are shooting us in the streets. Millions of us cannot find work.
A government that kills its citizens is immoral and must be opposed by everyone. A government that kills its citizens has lost all moral right to govern. What happened yesterday is no different from the killings of the apartheid government. This is no different to the Sharpeville massacre in 1960 which claimed 69 lives. It is no different to the Boipotong massacre in 1992 which claimed 45 lives.
A government that kills its citizens has lost all moral right to govern. What happened yesterday is no different from the killings of the apartheid government.
Millions of people have suffered in their shacks and millions have suffered with work and without work year after year. Some shack dwellers are also workers and sometimes shack dwellers are too poor to be workers. But we have all suffered enough at the hands of the police, at the hands of politicians and at the hands of the rich.
It has always been our call that real freedom and democracy are still a dream for the poor and the working class. All we see is politicians enriching themselves by stealing public funds that are meant to better people's lives.
All we see is that the new government keeps on with many of the worst policies of the old government. All we see is that our struggles are criminalized and repressed. The progressive middle classes are struggling to defend the freedom and democracy that they received in 1994. We are still struggling for freedom and democracy to come.
More than 25 people have been killed by the police during protests since 2000. Tebogo Mkhonza in Harrismith, Monica Ngcobo in Umlazi and Andries Tatane in Ficksburg are just three of the people that have been murdered in the streets by the police. Activists have been tortured and assassinated.
Our movement, like the Landless People's Movement and the Unemployed People's Movement, has been attacked in the night by armed men representing the ruling party. For months after our movement was attacked in the Kennedy Road settlement in Durban in 2009, the homes of our leading members were openly destroyed every weekend while the police refused to intervene.
Last year Nigel Gumede, the head of Housing in eThekwini, publicly said that the ANC was at war with our movement and threatened to kill S'bu Zikode. Senior people in the ANC have set a clear tone for the rest to follow.
Poor people have been encouraged to attack and kill each other in the name of ethnicity and nationality. It is time to say enough. It is time to say no more. It is high time that all progressive forces join hands to curb this carnage. It is high time that all progressive forces join hands in a struggle for real justice and real democracy.
We have to recognize that there is a war against the poor in this country. We did not want this war, but it has come to us.
The red ants and the police are not here to serve the people. They are here to drive the poor out of the cities, contain us in the human dumping grounds and repress our struggles.
We have to stop pretending that the politicians are our comrades when they have chosen to make themselves our enemies. We have to fight the war that has come to us. And we have to fight it in a way that puts human dignity and the equality of all people at the start of our struggle and at the heart of our struggle.
We are aware of the dangers of the South African politic when struggling citizens demand real freedom and democracy. Activists are living under serious threats all over the country.
We are aware of the time bomb that the shack dwellers in this country are sitting on. We have always warned, from the time when we first started to organize, that the anger of the poor can go in many directions. The dangers that we face can come from how people respond to oppression as well as from oppression itself.
There is more protest in South Africa than anywhere in the world. But the government takes no notice of the people. It responds by militarizing the police.
There is more protest in South Africa than anywhere in the world. But the government takes no notice of the people. It responds by militarizing the police. It responds by talking about third forces. The local party structures send out armed men in the night.
The government wants to make the anger of the people criminal and treasonous. It works behind the scenes to support the armed men that invade our homes and threaten us and our families. We have to accept that this government does not care about us. We do not count to it. When we ask to be heard, we are treated as criminals and traitors.
Global Peace and Justice Auckland in New Zealand will be marching to the South African embassy in Auckland at 1 Kimberly Road at 2 p.m. today. Our comrades in Cape Town and New Zealand march with our solidarity.
We all have to stand together. A war has come to us and we must fight it in a way that makes sure that we never turn into our enemies. We must fight this war in a way that puts humanity against brutality and never in a way that puts one brutality against another. Once your struggle starts to make you like your enemies everything is lost.
A politic of war has come to us. We have no choice but to resist. But we must resist with our own politic, which is a militant people's politic that starts and ends by honoring the dignity of all people.

Protest in New Zealand against the massacre of striking mine workers
by John Minto
The appalling scenes where up to 18 workers (later reported to be 45) were shot dead are reminiscent of the darkest days of apartheid – the Sharpeville massacre of 1960 and the murder of Black school children in Soweto in June 1976 come immediately to mind.
The precise details of the killings are unclear, but irrespective of this the blame lies squarely with the ANC government which has been in power for 18 years while conditions have become worse for most South Africans.
The mineworkers strike and the struggle for decent housing, health, incomes and education are the same struggles the ANC once supported but have turned their backs on since gaining power.
They have betrayed the core principles of the historic "Freedom Charter" and instead followed free-market economic policies which has meant little change in the lives of the poorest South Africans while a wealthy elite, which includes a few Black faces now, has become obscenely rich.
New Zealanders didn't protest on the streets to pave the way for a small number of Black millionaires to be created at the expense of the majority.
Race-based apartheid has been replaced with economic apartheid.
Last year in a withering attack on the ANC, Bishop Desmond Tutu said the ANC government was in some ways worse than the old apartheid regime and told South African President Jacob Zuma that the day would come when people would pray for the defeat of the ANC.
For many, that day can't come soon enough.
The picket will be held outside the new South African consulate in Auckland at 1 Kimberley Road, Epsom, Auckland, from 2 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday, Aug. 18.
Included on the picket line will be some veterans of the anti-apartheid struggle.

Renaldo Ricketts
Who gave the order to shoot innocent miners, the question is who owns the mines. The Black S.African gov. is a prop,whites own 97% of all the wealth in S.Africa, this massacre is reminiscent of the Soweto gratuitous killings of unarmed students. The continent of Africa is still unde colonial rule, they maintain a Black face,it's simply a perpetual facade by europeons who still own all the minerals in Africa. Whites still kill with impunity to protect their economic interest . The S.African Black gov .are clows no circus wants them. The people are rebelling against the installed puppets,the truth will seep out by osmosis. One day S.Africa will be free of euro-peon rule ,what they have today is subordinate elite kneegrow class,who will for ever be on their knees chanting massah are we sick -as Malcolm said -kneegrows are always ontheir knees. Wake up and smell reality.↓
Renaldo Ricketts
The biggest facade ever unleached on the world was the S.African gov.deception of Black rule. After 27 yrs in jail they released Mandela under a complex plan to maintain power and relax economic sanctions against hem. This was scampolitics ona global scale, the whites lost nothing ,their wealth was not hindered,today they reap the fruits of Black labor ,and massacre them when they refuse to comply.↓
Whites have no voice in South Africa. There is no colonial rule here and whites do not rule the economy. This is propoganda. There are less than 4 million white people in SA and they are being systematically forced out of SA. Since 1994, more than 3500 farmers and their families have been tortured and murdered – a fact that never reaches international newspapers. Check it out on Google – there are sites with names and dates of murdered elderly people, babies, rapes on young children and women…. 3500 of them and the numbers are growing daily. Recently SA Airways instituted a policy of not accepted white cadets to train as pilots. White veterinary students are consistently denied access to the veterinary training college even though there are shortages of black students wanting to be vets. This is just the tip of it. Please send your people here to investigate and see the real truth. White people are blamed for everything, even tho there are so few of them and they try to keep their heads down and just get on with their lives. It's truly scary here. Please come and see for yourselves. Our country is at Stage 5 on the Genocide index – white people will be massacred and by the time the truth comes out it will be too late. PLEASE. I beg of you, come and see for yourselves before you accept all this propaganda about white people "really ruling the country".↓
C Mc Carthy
Why do you vote for the ANC if they are CLOWNS. These Mines are owned by share holders. The Unions are to be blamed for allowing workers getting out of hand. Do not blame the police officers or the workers.↓
Portions of this article are a blatant manipulation of the truth, in fact a pure lie would be more to the point- the photographs are the sanitized version- they do not show these people armed to the teeth which they were:
3000 protesters stormed 423 policeman- anyone would have fired under these circumstances- particularly when two of their colleagues (both black policemen) had been hacked to death with panagas (beyond recognition) two days earlier. And two security guards had been burned to death.
@ Renaldo Ricketts this conflict started because of conflict between a 'non- official' union ie not NUM (the National Union of Mineworkers) and NUM who will not allow these people to negotiate wages with the mine because they are not NUM members the mine (which British owned BTW) is obviously quite happy with this arrangement too).
Further more as Julius Malema noted today NUM is not a Union it is a business- they own shares in the mines- the unions in South Afrcia today are part of what Frans Fanon termed "The National Bourgeoisie" – and their leaders high flying lifestyle is their only real concern. They have sold out the workers.
Your statistics are all wrong too- 97 % of ownership is not in white hands- in fact in the mining industry it closer to 28 % black owned, granted way still to low- but the point that you and people like you don't want to hear is that that 28 % ownership is largely in the hands of ANC loyalists, and is for there personal benefit only.
The leadership of the ANC has been very good at 're- distributing' wealth- as long as the re- distribution was in their direction. The masses of black South Africans have not befitted from it (Fanon's National Bourgeoisie again).
This last requires qualification- the ANC of today is NOT the ANC of Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisiulu et al- it is a self interested bourgeois parasite, I do really believe they (Mandela et al) believed in what they fought for- and there are people within the ANC that still do too- just not the ruling clique).
So before you start spewing your racist drivel, maybe you should consider familiarizing yourself with the facts↓
Renaldo Ricketts
The 97% figure is the stats for the entire country of South Africa . It's still a white ruled nation with a kneegrow face. It's an in ternational joke to even fathom Blacks own S.Africa ,they are a con trolled minority,5 % white population still ownes them.
The release of Mandela was one of the biggest frauds perpetrated on the Continent of Africa. I hate to tell the delusional Africans who are lead to believe,they aren in power. The S.African gov.is a powerless facade, installed puppets on a string to serve the white minority gov. The whites created a subset gov, to maintian power,and have sanctions lifted. It was a clever staged show to bring Mandela back after jailing him for 27 yrs, they found the perfect "Manchurian Government " – a symbolic body in black face whose con trolled by the 5th whites. If you are indded a student of history then you know no one plots their demise.
Renaldo ricketts
The white S.Africans never lost a dime or power by bringing Mandela out of jail.
They had him agree to certain conditions,the nation votes him in as president , a total smokes screen ,and again the people are duped in to believing their destiny lies in the hands of Africans,wrong. The only who spoke ther truth was Winnie Mandela ,she said "Nelson how can yu accept half a prize with a man who kept you in jail for 27 years" . She speaks the truth about the sham in S.Africa . what wer witness was blatant massacre of people who posed no threat to the police↓
Dude, are you living on the same planet as the rest of us? I don't think so.
No threat?- look at the footage, here is a link to get you started: http://www.iol.co.za/news/crime-courts/new-eviden…
Pay particular attention at about 55 seconds- clearly they are armed, a discharging firearm is not hard to see, nor are the pangas (machetes)- the long shiny things?↓
PS If you still cannot empathise with the policemen on the ground, then I have a suggestion: Come to South Africa, I will take you into Soweto and give you a loud haler so you can spew this delusional drivel about Mandela there- I guarantee you you will learn the meaning of fear very rapidly↓
Then if whites don't control the mines in SA then how can you explain Kimberly Diamond mines that are still owned by the Oppenhiemers' in SA↓
Not too mention the heavey sanctions done on Zimbabwe by the EU and US including the various lands being occupied in Zim, Tanzania, Ethiopia etc., by US-Ivy league university's and US Corp.s
for biofuel development Whites have a foot hold control throught out Africa starting w/S. Africa↓
Simply put it isn't, the Oppenheimer families shareholding in De Beers was 40%, no longer: http://www.israelidiamond.co.il/english/News.aspx…
41.7% of South Africa's primary residential market is owned by black South African's, 36 times the number who own shares- black South Africans largely invest in property- not shares.
In fact Ferial Haffajee writing in City press (a daily newspaper with a very high readership amoung black South Africans) notes "Once you strip out foreign ownership, state ownership, cross-holdings (the latter two characterised as benign), it may well transpire that the levels of individual black and white ownership are about equal."
Reference for both: City Press: http://www.citypress.co.za/Columnists/Ferial-Haff…
None of these companies (all are JSE, and/ or LSE and/ or NYSE listed) are solely owned by South Africans let alone white South Africans and certainly not individual families- they are all traded internationally.
I think it is the same journalist who remarks elsewhere that the degree of transformation in South Africa has already achieved through BEE/ AA has taken generations in other countries faced with similar upliftment challenges.
That said- as I have already said, and the title of above article implies it is not enough, as the tragedy at Marikana should be making clear to everyone.
Families connected to influential individuals within the ANC have to date, too often, been the beneficiaries of BEE- to the detriment of the average black South African.
Google the term "Tenderpreneur" and the name Khulubuse Zuma and Aurora Mines as examples (the Zuma case is just an individual example).
The situation in South Africa is infinitely more complicated that the simplistic black/ white dichotomy that a lot of people simply assume, the realities in South Africa are more complicated than most non-South Africans (and a huge number of South African's) are even willing to try and understand.
Simplistic the whites still run the country simply isn't borne out by the facts.
Conspiracy theories tend to arise when people don't like the conclusions that the realities on the ground are forcing them to draw- the ANCs performance post liberation has in many areas been lack- lustre, many supporters are thus disappointed and thus jump to the conspiracy conclusion.
As noted above, it is however not an absolute failure.
Every single fact I have quoted can be independently verified for yourself online↓
All of those companies you claim that doesn't have any holding in the SA mines there probably under different names
Big businesses act as "parent" companies to small subsidaries all of the time insurance like Nationwide, Allied, Titan for example companies with same owners can merge with other foriegn companies in order to purchase more stocks in the precious stones and petroleum markets
That still doesn't mean that the Oppenheimer aren't in SA↓
You know, there actually is no point in discussing anything with conspiracy theorist, or bigots for that matter- nothing you or ricketts have raised change anything I have said- IT IS COMMON CAUSE THAT CERTAIN WHITES STILL HAVE TOO MUCH (there are other whites who are living in squatter camps- because they have nothing)- I have already acknowledged this.
Ultimately there are none so blind as those who will not see.
The new cleavage in South African is becoming class/ access to resources, race is still a hugely significant one- but what most South Africans (who are not members of the elites) don't realise is that they are not included in the race based club that they think is where there loyalties lie- classic Marxist false consciousness.
There is a new clique that runs this country, it is a privileged elite consisting of blacks and whites, who's only interest is themselves, not the rest of the country.
But you ignore people like Patrice Motsepe, Cyril Ramaposa, Tokyo Sexwale. Motosepe and Ramaposa (who is a former communist and trade union leader btw) are both on the list of 15 that he cherry picks his examples from: http://www.therichest.org/nation/richest-people-i…
Ultimately time will show your position to be what is: half truths at very best.
I note ricketts hasn't responded to the video link I posted- I am still waiting for the standard line: edited or footage taken from elsewhere, white minority controlled media blah, blah, blah.
Whatever- he is the major of the capital of Cloud Lala Land.
Try reading some of Moletsi Mbekhi's writings (Thabo Mbehki's brother, a journalist)- 'Architects of Poverty' in particular- no one comes out unscathed- not whites not the ruling ANC clique.
If you want a closer approximation of the truth, try reading the analysis of South Africans living in the country, I say closer approximation because reality is a complicated thing.
Oh! hang on- sorry- I forgot- you are not interested in the truth, just that subset of factoids that confirms your pre-existing bigotries.
My apologies.
It is time for the real revolution of the people to begin in South Africa. Citizens, workers, students and all progressive elements must stand up against the current oppression and tyranny of capitalism. The wealth of South Africa belongs to the people not the privileged few. The blood of Marikana heroes that was shed so ruthlessly must not be in vain. Power to the people.↓

Now -i hope these silly propaganda punks with silly distorted figures simply shut to fug up-you cnt identify tiyr self because you'e a fake jack ass!↓
I think that nonviolence is not only right, but always most effective. Gandhi and Dr. King were right about that. There is no point in taking up arms against a heavily armed state security force. But I don't find the video link convincing one way or another; whoever made it could have easily used the footage to impose their own story.
What I do find convincing is a photo essay I saw of the miners' desperate living conditions – shacks barely held together and sewage overflowing into the roads. That is the most important thing for us to understand from where Renaldo and I are responding, in the U.S. The multibillion dollar Lonmin Corporation was forcing its workers to live in these conditions to save about $34 million a year.↓
renaldo ricketts
Ann -exactly we're dealing with a regime who feel the workers are expendable,the deplorable conditions are part of the abusive system of degraditaion. I saw this in Mexico in San Quintin, the workers lived in makeshift shacks,no running water,and dirt floors. This type of exploitations is common in Latin Amerika and many parts of th world, the people sub-exist on starvation wages. They are cultural slaves, the children work in the fields to help their parents, no schooling. The plantation then turns around and sell them good at inflated prices securing another generation of servitude. This is how the corporate structure of slavery is instituted world wide, it's genrational. The gov .S.A is a ceremonial body of elite Blacks who get paid to maintiaihn the status quo. Mandela was an empty shell, they brought in for symbolic posturing . Now that sactions have been lifted ,and the appearance of Black political power is a non reality . This is first class fraud ,the De Beers and Oppenheimers have a vast plantation to abuse for generations s to come. The truth should be told about the facade of S.Africa and the gran lie they tell the world .↓
What you folks don't seem to get is that the problem is not on the blue collar level — it is those sitting at Union Building making the big boy decisions, who just don't care about the rest of the population — to qoute an old favorite line "it doesn't matter if you are black or white." The more they can horde for themselves the better….Ann, it is not just the living conditions of those miners, you have little shack villages like that all over South Africa, some black, some white…some black and white. These miners make R10,000 a month — most than most blue collar workers make, and they can help themselves building better places to live. The sewage overflowing in the roads, is not the mining company's problem to deal with — it is the Government….but because they don't have to be driven through those streets in their flashy BMW's or Mercedes' with 10 escort cars, they don't care. Let's really lay the blame where it belongs…..poor management by a Government who is out to serve only themselves!↓

Why does gold often have so much violence attached to it? I know the metal is valuable, but can't they just discuss problems over it instead of something like this?↓

Corona firefighters, coached by Rick Stone, won the Las Vegas 4 Alarm Classic earlier this month. About 60 teams in four divisions participated this year from all over the country.
It's for a good cause: $100 from each entry fee is donated to firefighter charities.
The Corona team went undefeated in its division, beating Corpus Christi in the finals. The team consists of individuals from all ranks and stations.
"All fees and uniforms where paid out of our own pockets," Stone said. The team will be competing in the California Firefighter Olympics in July in San Diego.
No doubt they have a relief pitcher who in a pinch can put out the fire.

War memorial
5:00pm Tuesday 1st January 2013 in Letters
I UNDERSTAND the war memorial on the High Street in Ledbury is to be refurbished prior to the 100th Anniversary in 2014 of the outbreak of the Great War.
But I gather the town council is considering discarding the four "stone blocks" on the corners of the base.
To discard parts of the war memorial cannot be right. Admittedly, they serve no particular purpose at present, but we are bound to discover their original and intended use.
I propose the corner blocks are cemented into position; and that each is enhanced with an imitation "eternal torch flame" in metal, commissioned by a local craftsman and fitted into the recess of each block.
We have fine local craftsmen who could undertake such a commission and I have suggested to the council and the Civic Society that they should pursue this idea.

CATEGORIES Music & Musicals, Fandom, Dreamworks, Scenes We Love, CinematicalI have a wish-list of obscure songs from the movies about a mile long. But, I can be pretty determined so I usually track them down sooner or later (although sometimes that's easier said than done). Luckily for me, it was only a matter of waiting for a deluxe edition of Cameron Crowe's rock romance, Almost Famous to finally own Love Thing from the fictional band, Stillwater. Crowe's 2000 film was based on his own experiences as a young rock journalist traveling with bands like The Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, and Lynyrd Skynyrd (with Stillwater acting as a composite stand-in), and is easily one of the best films ever made about rock and roll.
Famous' soundtrack is packed to the brim with classics from the golden age of rock, and Crowe successfully blends Stillwater's music in with some of the finest artists in history. The few songs that we get to hear Stillwater perform have an important job to do in the film because they have to convince us that we are looking at an honest to goodness band. The level of historical detail and inside jokes about music history would mean nothing if you didn't believe in these four guys.
Even though the credits list Russel Hammond (Billy Crudup) as the writer of Love Thing and the three other songs featured in the film, in reality, they were written by Peter Frampton, Crowe and his wife Nancy Wilson with vocals (ably lip-synced by Jason Lee) provided by Marti Frederiksen (a musician, producer, and songwriter who has worked with Aerosmith, Mötley Crüe, and Ozzy Osbourne); and with credentials like that, it's no wonder the songs reeked of 70's authenticity. But even if you aren't a sucker for bluesy arena rock, when you you hear Love Thing's opening chords you can't help but think back to when we still believed it was all about the music.
Unfortunately this song is interrupted by some 'faulty wiring' in the film, but luckily for us, an enterprising fan of the those 'Golden Gods' put together a little something...


text: I am going to try to give Browns fans some hope, who saw their team trade away their top running back and top 2012 draft pick Trent Richardson on Wednesday. First of all, let's not over react, Richardson is not Adrian Peterson or Chris Johnson and he is injury prone too. Yes, he did rush for over 1000 yards in 17 games as a Browns player and seemed to be the future at that position but even the great Jim Brown called Richardson an "average" running back. The Browns will have two first round picks next year and remember, with a different regime in place from CEO to coaching staff, they want their own vision of the future. It may not look good for the Browns who still have to endure four and a half more months of the season but sometimes tough decisions have to made when the time is right and apparently the Richardson deal was one they could not pass up. For Browns fans, they can only hope it was the right decision.

As late summer steals in and the final pearls of barley are gleaned, a village comes under threat. A trio of outsiders -- two men and a dangerously magnetic woman -- arrives on the woodland borders and puts up a make-shift camp. That same night, the local manor house is set on fire. Over the course of seven days, Walter Thirsk sees his hamlet unmade: the harvest blackened by smoke and fear, the new arrivals cruelly punished, and his neighbours held captive on suspicion of witchcraft. But something even darker is at the heart of his story, and he will be the only man left to tell it ...Told in Jim Crace's hypnotic prose, Harvest evokes the tragedy of land pillaged and communities scattered, as England's fields are irrevocably enclosed. Timeless yet singular, mythical yet deeply personal, this beautiful novel of one man and his unnamed village speaks for a way of life lost for ever.
See our Author Page for Jim Crace
More books by Jim Crace
Jim Crace is an utterly original novelist, who revels in the warp and weft of existence; and no detail is too small for him. There is a beautiful lyricism about his novels; this one is set in a village in turmoil in – I would guess – the fifteenth century, as sheep are introduced to the ancient English landscape. It is a mesmeric performance, the imagining of a time and a place which is almost recognisable, but also apparently from mythical time.
The arrival of strangers at the outskirts of a mediæval village at harvest time coincides with a fire that destroys the master's dovecote. Their wrongful sentence to a week in the pillory sows seeds of mistrust in the close-knit community that grow as they hear of a revolutionary plan to replace their barley and cattle with sheep. Widower Walter Thirsk, raised in the master's household but married to a villager, looks on warily and watchfully, his loyalties torn, as he recovers from burns sustained in the fire. The ethereal prose of one of Britain's most consistently elegant authors reflects the intimate and fluctuating relationship between the people and the land, as the ancient community unravels, suspicion and superstition boiling over into fear and rage. - Jonathan

1. Trade Scott Rolen to the Dodgers for Juan Pierre
Pierre's contract:
Rolen's contract:
Work out the financials. The Dodgers are looking for a 3b and STL needs a leadoff hitter. Pierre would be fast and a great leadoff "whiteyball" type player.
Pierre's last 5 years in steals and batting average with hits:
07- 64, .293, 196
06- 58, .292, 204
05- 57, .276, 181
04- 45, .326, 221
03- 65, .305, 204
2. Trade Jim Edmonds and Anthony Reyes to the Texas Rangers for Kevin Millwood and Hank Blalock
Millwood's contract:
Blalock's contract:
08:$5.95M, 09:$6.2M club option
Edmonds' contract:
Reyes: league minimum til 2010
Texas has expressed interest in Edmonds and would like to get Millwood's salary off their hands. Which is what the Cardinals need. Millwood could come back to the NL where he has been sucessful. An innings eater, and a good veteran presence in the rotation.
Rids team of Reyes and gains an everyday third baseman.
3. Play Brian Barton everyday in right field.
This is a 5 tool player that needs to stay in Cardinal red. His BballRef comparables include Carlos Beltran, and some say he is in the same mold as Chris Young. Ankiel just wont cut it in my book as a starter.
4. Resign Jeff Weaver.
Bring back Dream Weaver. Plain and simple. Get it done.
This would leave the following 08 lineup and Rotation:
cf- Juan Pierre
rf- Brian Barton
1b- Albert Pujols
3b- Hank Blalock
lf- Chris Duncan
c- Yadier Molina
2b- Adam Kennedy
ss- Cesar Izturis
p- Pitchers spot
- Adam Wainwright
- Kevin Millwood
- Braden Looper
- Jeff Weaver
- Joel Pineiro
- Chris Carpenter

From security concerns, to questions over how to handle the utilities, Panama City commissioners have been debating for weeks how to move forward with the AD Harris health clinic. The commission may have arrived at a solution to those problems Tuesday night.
The clinic is set to be an ER diversion clinic, taking the traffic away from the areas emergency rooms. It's set to be housed in two classrooms at the AD Harris Learning Village in Glenwood. In the arrangement, the Bay County Health Department would operate and run the clinic, and the Bay Health Foundation would pay the lease - about $10,000 a year for three years.
The clinic would be the first of what they hope to be many tenants at the Learning Village, so the commission wanted to set some ground rules. That's where the security and utilities come in.
The health department says they will provide security for their clinic as needed, as will other tenants for their own spaces. As for the utilities, commissioners were tasked with figuring out how to deal with the water and electricity for multiple tenants.
They may have found a solution: a sub-meter.
"A sub-meter works in such a way that we can have an account set up for each tenant off of the meter," said Community Redevelopment Agency Director William Whitson. "Once the meter is set up and the account is set up then the charge or the usage can be properly allocated."
The CRA agreed to take on the costs for setting up the system. So with the lease agreement approved and the utilities and security issues close to being finalized, Whitson says the hope is that the clinic will be open in the next few months...no later than January.

Yeah, we lost to Ohio yesterday and it fucking sucks. Yes, Ted Roof..... "Roofied" the defenses ability to play decently.Yes, Gerald Hodges returning punts over Alex Kenney was..... an unfortunate decision.
You know what else also happened?
1) Our Left Tackle of the future looked kick ass when he was playing, and he's just a RS Freshman. Also, there were 4 new starters on the OL. The unit probably won't gel until the 3rd or fourth game. Don't think we're screwed for the future because of one bad game.
2) The Secondary was decent when they were allowed to make a play. I'm not talking about trying to stop a quick slant 8 yards off of the ball either. Yes, they need to improve on block shedding, which is why the Perimeter Screens were effective.You know who else was awful at shedding blocks on the perimeter? Florida's secondary in 2007, and look how they turned out (They too, for the record, were very bad that year). Point? They're young, don't think we're screwed for the future because they aren't doing well right away.
3) Oh look, we have talented young skill position player's! Allen Robinson unsurprisingly looked kick ass, Trevor Williams got open (And MM Subsequently missed him), and Kyle Carter (<3 the WR-TE Hybrid) looks really, really good (Albeit, the few times he was blocking, he could've done better). All of the talented guys we have seem to be young. And yes, I don't think Kersey was that great yesterday. Bill Belton, he still really needs to work on ball control, but if he can get that down, he could be really, really good.
4) We were outcoached by Frank Solich in the 2nd half. It's not like we were outcoached by some ass clown like Tim Brewster. Solich was fired at Nebraska because he only won 9 games in a year. He's a really freakin' good coach, and I'd take him coaching wise vs any other coach on our schedule, sans maybe Urban Meyer. BOB is learning, he'll still continue to learn. Frank Solich is one of the last coaches somebody should want to make their debut against. I'd think BOB will learn from his mistakes here.
5) Don't give up on the DL yet. Barnes, in limited time, looked good yesterday. Yes, we were getting pushed around by a MAC level team, specifically in the 2nd half, but it's what happens when Ohio runs 50-esq plays and has the ball for 18 minutes.
6) Remember the first half. I don't know why we seemed to stray away from the 1st half attack, but the offensive plan in the first half was kick ass. The one in the 2nd..... I don't know why we relied so heavily on WR screens When they'd angle a safety over to the side we'd screen it too. I'd imagine BOB will see that.
Point is, is that the team is really, really young, and a lot of our stars are young. We lost to the MAC's first BCS buster **, don't get bent out of shape over it. It's one game, there are 11 in the year. While losing to Ohio doesn't bode too well for the year, it's also not the end either. Lets see what we do vs UVA before we bail on the team. Remember, every great coach generally has one WTF loss anyways in his first year.
- Mucho Amor,
** (Look at Ohio's schedule, they should run it. If they do, they'll be in the BCS.)

Election 2012: District 59 candidates focus on public education spending
Rep. Sid Miller, R-Stephenville, said he wants another term in the Texas House to work on education funding and immigration issues, but he'll have to overcome a primary challenge from two opponents.
Mike Jones, a Glen Rose veterinarian, and J.D. Sheffield, a physician from Gatesville, are running against Miller for the District 59 seat in the May 29 primary.
Early voting begins Monday.
Miller was first elected in 2000. He was unopposed in the Republican primary the first five times he ran.
Sheffield ran against Miller in the primary in 2010, but Miller won with 56 percent of the votes.
Miller recently said he wants to continue working to develop an equitable school finance system because schools are "sorely underfunded."
Facing a massive budget shortfall, the 82nd Legislature decided to balance the budget primarily through spending cuts, rather than raising taxes or fees. Education was underfunded by $4 billion.
Miller said if he had to go back through the 2011 session again, he would continue to oppose tax increases.
"A lot of people wanted us to raid the Rainy Day Fund, but it just wasn't prudent," Miller said of the state's savings account, which legislators used sparingly in the last session.
Miller has authored socially conservative bills in past sessions, including the bill that requires Texas women to have a sonogram at least 24 hours before getting an abortion. He said he stripped $21 million from Planned Parenthood.
He also described himself as the "go-to guy" on agriculture and military issues. He is the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety.
Sheffield, 19-year resident of Gatesville and medical director of Coryell Medical Clinic, said he decided to run against Miller in 2010 because so many of his patients could no longer afford medication and copays, and small businesses were dropping health insurance.
This time around, he's still focusing on rural health-care issues, but he also believes he is the candidate who can work to craft an adequate and equitable school funding plan.
"I think cutting education in the last session was the wrong way to go," Sheffield said.
If the state should find itself in another budget crunch in the next session, Sheffield said he would raise taxes "only as a last resort" and only if his constituents agreed to it. He believes lawmakers should have used more of the Rainy Day Fund in the last session to help cover the shortfall in education spending.
He also believes the state puts too much emphasis on testing and doesn't give enough local control to school districts.
Jones believes the state should loosen its grasp on school districts, which would function well without intervention.
Jones would tie public school funding to the state's sales tax, which he believes would help districts more accurately forecast their funding levels for upcoming years. He would not eliminate the local property tax because it allows districts to have some measure of control.
"As we get more people coming into the state, we're going to have more sales tax revenue," Jones said.
Jones decided to run after Miller promoted a bill that aimed to relax the requirements for equine dentistry.
Veterinarians around the state decided they needed to oust Miller, and Jones volunteered because he lives within District 59.
Miller said the bill ultimately passed and veterinarians were satisfied with the compromises each side reached.

EDIT: oh man, I am really sorry about the ridiculous delays with this page! That's the problem when I get behind schedule – when I'm stuck having to work on one page start-to-finish in order to catch up, it goes way slower than when I can skip around and work on bits of several different pages at once. Excuses, I know, but at least now I'm starting to make some headway. And figure out how I work best, to get pages done faster and with the least amount of hair-tearing. >.>
TWC vote incentive! is a little something we found at the Rockville Whole Foods that made our Intervention extra …lemur-tastic. :D
Discussion (6) ¬
It's a bit had to tell in the pencils, but isn't that the girl who made an appearance right at the end of chapter one?
Good eye. :)
I'm still trying to figure out if she's the same one who nearly walked in on the conspiracy in the prelude… I guess time will tell…
ah.. I can tell you that she's not. Not that I want to quash theorizing, but in that case any resemblance was unintentional, aside from basic Traveler characteristics. I am thrilled that we have people reading that closely, though. :D
Well, finally caught up on my reading and its' worth the wait. From time to time I'm jarred by the little bits of modern you guys throw into your story (the glasses for instance), but then I nudge myself and remember this is your fantasy world and you guys make the rules.
Anyway hope to see you again soon.


text: As we are currently mired in a 1-8 football season with basketball season mere days away, I have a question for the readers of Cougcenter: What is your favorite Cougar sport? How many of us prefer football (even Cougar football) to basketball, or vice versa? How many of us like another sport the best? If you like a sport more or less than another, does the performance of the school in recent years have some bearing on that? Does your participation in certain sports during your life affect what you like? Vote away, and please elaborate in the comments!

On Saturday 11th August we delivered our new "Up, Close & Personal with London Wasps" Community event at Community Partner Club May & Baker RFC in Dagenham, Essex. The day comprised of a squad coaching session delivered to 50 senior players, a Question & Answer session with London Wasps player Tinus Du Plessis & Alec Hepburn, fundraising opportunity and an official signing session with the players.
London Wasps & England 20s prop Alec Hepburn told wasps.co.uk, "It was great to get involved with the players from May & Baker RFC during every aspect of the event. I really enjoyed working alongside our Community Team and putting some of my coaching experience into practice. Both squads really applied themselves throughout the coaching sessions, despite the early start and a really warm day."
Garry Hill, Club Liaison for May & Baker RFC told wasps.co.uk, "What Wasps provided and brought to May and Baker was exceptional. Everything from the set up on the day to the coaching from the Community Team could not be faulted in any way whatsoever. The London Wasps players (Alec Hepburn and Tinus du Plessis) provided their own tips, advice, personal experiences and got fully involved; their input and comments to the players alone was invaluable. Another great aspect on the day after our training was the Q&A Session where the Wasps players spoke of their own experiences throughout their rugby careers and also answered various questions from the members of May & Baker RFC. Overall, this was a great day that proved very productive and is an event that any other rugby club should aim to host and be a part of the Partnership!"

In the first sentence
I want some water to drink
"to drink" is an infinitive acting as an adjective modifying "water". It is telling us what kind of water you wish. You want drinkable water, not water suitable for cleaning floors for example.
In the second sentence
I want to drink some water
"to drink some water" is an infinitive acting as a noun phrase which is the object of the verb "want". "Some water" is the object in the infinitive noun phrase "to drink some water".
"it" is not required or grammatically correct as you have proposed.

Commuter Checks
Pre-Tax Public Transportation Plan for SJSU employees - Commuter Check
The Commuter Check program allows eligible SJSU employees to defer up to $245 per month / $2940 per year tax-free (2012 limit was set by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, also known as the stimulus package) for the purchase of transit tickets and passes.
Deductions are taken from your pay before federal, state, Social Security, and Medicare taxes are calculated. Your taxable income is reduced, thereby reducing the taxable income reflected on your annual W-2 statement.
Participating in the Commuter Check program will have no impact on your CalPERS retirement or on any other CSU-paid benefit. However, depending on your salary, your Social Security benefits at retirement may be reduced slightly, because you will have paid Social Security taxes on a lower wage. (For more information, you may wish to consult your tax advisor or financial planner.)
Is it for you?
You should consider signing up for Commuter Check if you are a regular rider on:
You are eligible to participate in the Commuter Check program if you are:
The following employees are NOT eligible:
How to enroll?
Enrollment is a 2-step process:
1. Complete and submit this application to the Transportation Solutions Center located in the Student Union building. The deadline is on the 1st of the month.
2. After you receive an email confirmation from Transportation Solutions, enroll with Commuter Check Direct on-line and place orders for vouchers. Instructions on enrollment will be provided with the email confirmation. The deadline to enroll with the Commuter Check and place orders is the 5th of the month.
Commuter Check orders and payroll deductions are processed on a monthly basis. The amount you ordered in Commuter Check vouchers will be automatically deducted from your pay each month.
Remember, you must visit Commuter Check Direct web site to change or cancel your voucher orders. The deadline to make adjustment is on the 5th of the month.
How does it work?
Your Commuter Check vouchers will be conveniently mailed to your home address on the 20th of each month. You will then be able to buy your transit tickets or passes with your Commuter Check vouchers at any location that accepts Commuter Check.
No refunds will be given on any unused portion of your deduction or any unused Commuter Check vouchers.
When purchasing transit tickets or passes, up to 10 Commuter Check vouchers may be redeemed at one time. If a ticket or a pass costs more than the value of your vouchers, you must pay the difference. If you buy a ticket or a pass that costs less than the value of your vouchers, the difference cannot be returned as change or merchandise.
Each Commuter Check voucher is valid for 13 months. Expired Commuter Checks will not be accepted or replaced.
Clipper Card
If you have a registered Clipper card, you can begin loading cash or passes onto it using your Commuter Check benefits. You can add value to your Clipper card online using your Commuter Check Direct account. Look for the Clipper option when you log in to your account. Your value will be available by the first of the benefit month. You must tag your card to a card reader in order to load the value. For more information visit Commuter Check/Clipper Card .
This pre-tax benefit is available only through payroll deduction for public transportation as defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and available in the bay area.
Pre-tax public transportation plans are governed by rules set by the IRS that supersede this page in the event of any discrepancy.

I did not plan on doing another mock offseason until aster the Superbowl, but I did not really want to study for finals today, so I decided to do this.
First thing on the list is getting this coaching staff in order. As of late, I have come to the conclusion that offensive minded guy vs. defensive minded guy is irrelevant IMO for the HC spot, because hopefully the coordinators brought in will be the guys really running the respective units. Having said that, as of right now, my coaching staff, in terms of the 3 major positions, for 2012 looks something like this:
- Head Coach: Mel Tucker
- Offensive Coordinator: Paul Chryst (OC/QB Coach for the Wisconsin Badgers: not sure if he would come, but I think he presents a solid under-the-radar type guy for the position)
- Defensive Coordinator: Steve Spagnuolo (This is obviously assuming he gets fired in St. Louis and does not get a HC job elsewhere. This guy was just phenomenal as DC of the Giants, and I really think he could excel with this unit in Jacksonville)
Next comes the current roster, and what to do with the guys on the roster now. I figured why not look at the entire roster, and regardless of current contract, split up the roster into who should have a shot to earn a spot on the 53 man, and who the team should just part ways with. I put 47 guys to come back, and so people in the other group certainly could come back, but for the heck of it, let's just say they do not.

Next is Free Agency.
- To be very honest, I just do not see any of the big name WRs coming to JAX. V-Jax stays in SD, Desean ain't coming to JAX, Bowe is staying in KC, Meachem is not going to be worth the $$ he is looking for, and the Colston is staying with Brees in NO. I think looking at "lower tier" guys is the better move, and trying to get a Stevie Johnson or a Harry Douglas. In the end, I say sign Harry Douglas to come in and bolster this group of WRs.
- Improving the pass rush is still a necessity, and a guy like Cliff Avril could do that. The guy is penalized a lot, and along with Suh probably make up the dirtiest defensive tandem in the NFL, but I think for the right contract he could leave Detroit and team up with the guys in Jacksonville to further improve this already superb defensive unit.
Finally, the draft:(I made some assumptions about how other teams finish, and what pick Jags end up with)
Jags end up with the 6th pick of the first round behind the Colts, Rams, Vikings, Browns, and Redskins. I envision Kalil returning to USC, which means Vikings trade down and a QB needy team gets their QB, presumable RGIII before Jags get him or trade down with the QB needy team. So, the way I see it Jags stay at 6th in the first and for this mock's sake, remain at 6 in every other round.
- Morris Claiborne CB: excellent player and should immediately turn this secondary into one the NFL's best.
- Mohamed Sanu WR: Dwight Jones figures to be gone, and Sanu is not far behind in terms of talent. Sanu should be that #1 receiver that this team is looking for to help Gabbert develop into the QB that he can be.
- Andre Branch DE: Among the late 2nd/early 3rd round DE prospects, Branch is the one who just stands out to me as the best bet as a 4-3 DE in the NFL. I think McClellan from Boise St. and even maybe a guy like Alexander from Oklahoma are viable options, but I still like Branch at the pick most.
- Jordan White WR: This guy happens to be a pretty big talent who played at a "lesser" school. I definitely think this is a guy Gene is going to covet greatly and could draft him perhaps as early as the 3rd round.
- Josh Ogelsby OT: Solid contributor to the Wisconsin O-Line this year, and could come in and help solidify the Jaguar O-Line.
- Austin Davis QB: He is in my eyes a purely developmental type prospect, but I like what he could offer in a backup capacity.

What is Cat's Claw?
Cat's claw is native to the Amazon. The name cat's claw comes from the thorns on the plant's leaves that look like the claws of a cat. The part used medicinally is the root bark. It comes in tablet, capsule, tea, dried herb or tincture forms. Other names include: Uncaria tomentosa, una de gato, life-giving vine of Peru, and samento.
Health Benefits of Cat's Claw:
Cat's claw has a long history of traditional use by indigenous peoples in South America. It has been used to treat digestive problems, arthritis, inflammation, ulcers and to promote wound healing.
1) Arthritis
Cat's claw is thought to have anti-inflammatory effects and has been used for rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Compounds in cat's claw are thought to block the body's production of inflammation-producing substances called prostaglandins and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Cat's claw is believed to reduce pain somewhat, but it doesn't appear to have much of an effect on reducing swelling. More evidence is needed before cat's claw can be used as a treatment for arthritis.
See more on Natural Remedies For Rheumatoid Arthritis and also 5 Remedies For Osteoarthritis Pain.
2) Cancer
There's some evidence cat's claw may affect the immune system. Preliminary laboratory studies suggest it may halt the spread of cancer cells. A few animal studies suggest it may help with cell damage caused by chemotherapy or radiation treatment. Much more evidence is needed before it can be used as a cancer treatment, and it should never replace conventional care.
3) Other Conditions
Cat's claw has also been used for high blood pressure, HIV, diverticulitis, gastritis, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, but there's insufficient evidence on the effectiveness of cat's claw for these conditions.
Side Effects and Safety Concerns:
Side effects may include nausea, headache and dizziness.
Cat's claw shouldn't be used by people who have had organ transplants.
The safety of cat's claw in people with certain autoimmune conditions such as type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus and Crohn's disease isn't known.
Cat's claw shouldn't be taken within two weeks before or after surgical procedures or by people who have bleeding disorders.
Pregnant or nursing women or children should avoid cat's claw.
Cat's claw shouldn't be confused with another herb called cat's claw acacia, catclaw acacia or Acacia gregii which is believed to contain a compound related to cyanide and should not be taken orally.
Possible Interactions:
Cat's claw may decrease the effectiveness of drugs that suppress the immune system such as Imuran (azathioprine), CellCept, Neoral, Sandimmune (cyclosporine), Prograf, Rapamune and Zenapak.
Cat's claw is thought to be broken down by the liver, so it could theoretically interfere with the effectiveness of medications that are broken down by the same liver enzymes such as:
- oral contraceptives
- allergy medication such as fexofenadine
- cholesterol medication such as lovastatin
- antifungals such as ketoconazole
- cancer medications such as paclitaxel or vinblastine

(01/16/14) - If you visit the North American Auto Show in Detroit, you'll see the 2015 Ford Mustang on display. Even after a half century in production, the Mustang remains popular. The changes that have been made will likely keep sales strong. This fall, the 2015 Mustang will roll into dealer showrooms. If reaction at the car show is any indication, it could be a galloping success. "This is everything we wanted the Mustang to be and more. What we always try to do on Mustang is improve, improve, improve and we improved every bit of this Mustang," said Tom Barnes, Mustang vehicle engineering manager. The Mustang will be observing its 50th anniversary later this year. The latest version still has some of the original DNA. "We want people to feel emotion and have a smile on their faces. That's what it's about," Barnes said. The 2015 Mustang looks a little more aerodynamic and a little less angular. "We have all new sheet metal, we have all new powertrains. We have all new features, all wrapped up in a great looking package," Barnes said. We asked Ford executive chairman Bill Ford Jr. what he thought about the redesign. "Are you kidding? I love it. I think the team did a fabulous job with the Mustang. When I went to Barcelona and introduced it there, the Europeans really liked it. The fact that we're going to have right-hand drive is a big deal," he said. Even though they plan to sell Mustangs around the world, the only assembly plant will be in Flat Rock, just south of Detroit.

An Italian restaurant out of the ordinary, Melanie's specialises in Neapolitan food, setting it apart from the numerous other dining rooms in London's central Soho area. Located on the notorious Old Compton Street, close to Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square and the numerous theatres and cinemas the West End has to offer, Melanie's is easy to spot thanks to its large awning proudly displaying the red, green and white of the Italian flag. Inside, you'll find a dining room clad in much light wood and full of light, traditional, simple and comfortable in its décor. In the kitchen, the focus is very much on the use of good ingredients, the chefs sourcing local and seasonal produce for their classic Neapolitan dishes. You'll recognise many of Melanie's offerings, from favourite pizzas to well known pasta dishes, but you'll also be tempted to try the specialties of the house which include the typical ingredients of Naples and the surrounding countryside.

Alexa Chung attended the celebration of Chanel Fine Jewelry's 80th anniversary of the 'Bijoux De Diamants' collection created by Gabrielle Chanel in New York City yesterday evening.
She wore a dainty cream dress from the Chanel Resort 2013 collection, with a voluminous skirt plus delicate floral embroidery on the bodice and cuffs.
As much as I love Alexa's dress, I am always prepared to dislike her hair, her shoes, or both.
On this occasion it is the hair, which looks so straggly and of course unbrushed.
Her makeup, however, is beautiful and I love her Tabitha Simmons pumps.
Chanel diamond-encrusted earrings and a cocktail ring completed her look.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – A routine traffic in Lubbock could turn into life in prison for Gean Christopher Washington. Back in August a DPS Trooper stopped Washington at the Intersection of MLK and Highway 84. The Trooper saw what he suspected was evidence of marijuana.
Court records say Washington also had cocaine and a semi-automatic weapon in the vehicle. Washington pleaded guilty last week and will be sentenced at a later date to at least 10 years and possibly as much as life in prison.

Skateboarding Totally Eats It as a Genre
Posted on Thursday, December 2 @ 19:05:39 Eastern by Daniel BischoffWhether or not the Skate series is better than Tony Hawk now or in the past is up for debate.
What isn't up for debate is the fact that Skate doesn't sell nearly as well as the original Tony Hawk games did. We all know how Activision has treated the Hawk-ster (don't call him that, only I get to call him that). Things aren't looking good for all us skateboarding posers who call the tricks by their specific button combinations.
Dude, you totally stuck that left + Square button to Triangle button!
John Riccitello, EA's current head honcho, simply told Stephen Totilo that skateboarding is no longer the leader in action sports gaming.
I have to admit, I like the Skate games, but ultimately skateboarding-at-large is not everything it used to be.

"With the 7th Overall Pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders Select.: Darrius Heyward-Bey, Wide Receiver out of Maryland."
When I heard those words I can not tell you the amount of cuss words that exploded out of my mouth. I thought it was a cruel joke. I wanted Michael Crabtree if we were picking a WR, but even more so I wanted B.J. Raji to come and hold down the middle of our defense. Obviously DHB has not been as good of a player as Raji has been, but he has been a better Pro than Crabtree has despite not being as naturally gifted. His work ethic and team first mentality has set him apart from the 49ers wide receiver in my mind.
I will tell you this much with certainty, DHB has exceeded my low expectations of him. Now I want to see him exceed Al Davis's lofty expectations of him. I really enjoyed hearing about how at DHB's notoriously low moments that Al still made it a point to tell Darrius that he believed in him. It struck a cord with Heyward-Bey and has really helped him develop into an NFL WR. He wants nothing more than to honor the Great Al Davis, and for that DHB is a true Raider in my book.
He has a long way to go yet, but he is doing everything he can to get there. He still jumps when its obvious that he does not have to, which is mind bogglingly frustrating. That is something I really hope we don't see much of anymore. He still catches with his body and has his drops too. Nobody can deny that he is not a polished finished product, but to see the jump that he made last year was a real joy. The work ethic that he has consistently shown has really endeared him to me. Anybody who cares that much and tries that hard is awfully hard to bet against.
He is not our best receiver on our team, that goes to Denarius Moore. He is not the player with the most potential, that now goes to Juron Criner in my opinion. What DHB brings to the table more so than anybody else is heart. It takes more than heart to stay in this league, but he is doing everything he can to prove Mr. Davis correct. He has already come a long way from his lowliest of lows when the members of this blog (Me Included) would not even use his name. It was "-", and it was almost exclusively combined with insults and a complete lack of support from the most loyal fan base in all of sports.
Nobody could blame us due to his high draft status and low production. Now we are seeing some of the things that Al saw in him and most of us are willing to give him more of a chance going into this year. This is the make or break season for DHB as an Oakland Raider though. Succeed and we will fully embrace him but fail and he will most likely not be in our famed colors anymore. Good luck DHB, make Al Davis proud and the doubters bite their tongues. There are a lot of people out there that never thought you would be even as good as last year. Show each and every one of them just how good you really can be and truly become another part of the legacy that is the Oakland Raiders.

The man who owned the ride on which five people were injured during the North Carolina State Fair, as well as the man who operated the ride, has been indicted in connection with the accident.
On Oct. 24, five people sustained injuries at the N.C. State Fair when the Vortex ride jolted into motion as people were exiting.
The ride's owner, Joshua Macaroni, was charged Nov. 6 in connection with the accident. On Tuesday, Macaroni was indicted on three counts of assault with deadly weapon inflicting serious bodily injury.
The operator of the ride, Tim Tutterrow was also indicted today on three counts of assault with deadly weapon inflicting serious bodily injury. Tutterrow was arrested two days after the accident.
The indictments list Anthony and Kisha Gorham, as well as a juvenile, as the victims of the assault.
Tutterrow, who is employed by an independent ride contractor, is suspected of tampering with the ride, Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison said.
Eyewitnesses estimated that riders were dropped from as high up as up to 30 feet, and an EMS source said all five were initially unconscious, but three regained consciousness.
One of the injured suffered serious head injuries. Another victim had injuries similar to a concussion, according the EMS source.
Last month, a man identifying himself Rahsaan Hunter set up a YouCaring.com fundraiser for the Gorham family, who he said was injured in the accident. The man identifies himself as the biological father of 14-year-old Justen Hunter, whom he said was among those injured on the ride.
The page says Justen's mother, 39-year-old Kisha Gorham, was also injured, as well as the teen's step-father, 29-year-old Anthony Gorham. The Gorhams' niece, Shykeyma Dempsey, was also injured on the ride, the page indicates.
"The extent of their injuries were very severe, including brain, skull, neck and spinal injuries," the page explains. "The road to physical and mental recovery will be very long and rocky for the family."
The page further explains that Kisha and Anthony will need to "undergo several surgeries and intensive rehab in order to overcome this ordeal."
