Birthers & the Futility of Arguing With Irrational People
Conspiracy: an evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot. (here)
There seems to be no shortage of conspiracy theories surrounding the public release of President Obama's "long-form" birth certificate. Both simple and elaborate theories abound of the supposedly evil, surreptitious plans hatched by forces too secret to even know who have duped the American public into thinking that President Obama was actually born in the United States of America (if you consider Hawaii part of the union).
At last count, there are at least twenty different conspiracy theories regarding the just-released birth certificate. All of these theories, in one way or another, seek to show that President Obama's birth certificate, released by Hawaii's Department of Health, is somehow a fake or forgery. All I can say to that is, "WOW!"
As someone who disagrees with almost all of the President's policies and positions, I would never be described as a fan of Mr. Obama. I think that he is, next to Jimmy Carter, the worst President that we have had in the last 100 years (perhaps ever, but that's a closer question). I did not vote for Candidate Obama in 2008 and I will, under no circumstances, vote for his re-election in 2012 (although I would have to hold my nose if Donald Trump was the nominee).
However, one of the circumstances informing the electorate that should now be off the table is the issue of President Obama's birth and citizenship. I think it fanciful — some might say irrational — to believe that there is a massive conspiracy afoot regarding the now public birth certificate that has heretofore been secure in the Hawaii Department of Health's archives. To pull off such a huge conspiracy — which, of course, the President would have to have knowledge of and prior consent to — is simply not believable. Certainly not on a par with the alien crash in Roswell, NM!
Is it believable that a Republican, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, a former director of the Hawaii Department of Health, would be involved in the conspiracy? In an interview with CNN, she said that she has "no doubt" that Obama was born in Hawaii. Is Dr. Fukino lying? Does she have a history of embellishment or fabrication? Can anyone attest to a character that is less than stellar?
Is it believable that the current Governor of Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie, is lying about his relationship with Mr. Obama's parents?
The Democratic governor slammed critics, noting his relationship with Mr. Obama's parents. "President Obama's mother and father were dear friends of mine, and we must respect their memory," Mr. Abercrombie said. "It is an insult to the President, his parents and to the Office to suggest that he was not born in Hawaii." (full article here)
I could go on, but the point would be lost on some. You see, it's difficult — even futile — to argue with irrational people. Now, not all people are irrational and not all people are irrational all the time, but some people can be irrational on some issues and some people can be irrational all the time. We've all met people like that.
I was reminded again today, not just because of the wild conspiracy theories floating around, but because of personal conversations with people on unrelated issues, that trying to have a productive discussion with irrational people is useless. I don't mind people who are passionate about what they believe and can talk about it in a rational and reasonable way. Those are good debates to have. The opposing view always (or at least should) cause you to think about what you believe.
But, trying to debate someone who doubts the reality of the moon landing or who questions where President Obama was born or who believes the American and/or Israeli governments were responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks will end only in a pounding headache. Sometimes you have to be reminded that trying to argue with irrational people is in itself irrational and futile. That doesn't mean we won't try. But the less we take the bait, the more emotionally peaceful we shall be. So, next time, don't let an irrational person steal your joy. It's just not worth the argument!

Good article.
I heard this statement today but cannot remember the original author but it is apropos, "You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into."
I think you are spot on. I had a conversation with someone on the phone today that I think fits your description to a tee. I lose too much sleep trying to reason — from the Bible and otherwise — with people who simply cannot be reasoned with. Thanks for the comment and God bless,
Kinda reminds me of trying to discuss biblical issues with a King James Only person. Reason and rationality don't work. Tom is right.
I always remember the comment that a person I know made once when (as he passed the talk) he was asked his opinion about a discussion similar to the one here. "If the world was full of people like you, I'd be king in a week."
Of the three involved in the event, one doubled over in laughter, one was speechless, and one went on about his business–at least this is the way he told the story.

Dallas Stars coach Lindy Ruff was in Traverse City for the NHL Prospect Tournament and talked to the media during the intermission of one of the games. Here are a few quotes.
On Tyler Seguin moving back to the center position
"I think you have to have a little bit of patience. He is moving back to a position that he hasn't played. He's going to have to handle some big men down low. Your responsibilities are a lot different from playing the wing to the guy that has to come back and try to out battle some of the big men. The good part is he should have the puck a little bit more. The tougher part is his reads have to be good, you get a lot of defensive situations. I think that is the part that will take him a little bit of time."
More on being patient with Seguin
"The first thing is you can't hurt your team in your own end. You'd want to be able to count on him in almost every situation against any top player. He's a young player. I think the fact that he hasn't played it on a regular basis, there is going to be a little bit of an adjustment for him. You go through the preseason, give him as much time as you can. He played it all his career up until (playing with Boston). I think it will be an easier adjustment once you get up and running."
On the transition for Jamie Benn going from center back to wing
"Yeah (it will be easier), but I had the conversation with him that he may not have the puck as much as he did when he played center. The one thing that I told him is to be ready to take some shifts at center ice still. I think it was a position that by the end of the year that he got pretty comfortable with. It was slowed down a little bit by a nagging injury. He said he is more than willing to go between a couple of positions."
On forward Valeri Nichushkin
"I've liked a lot from the first game. He's had the puck a lot and he's made a lot of great plays. He skated well in a lot of the tight areas and he's competed well. I think when you see somebody that has the puck most of the time, or comes up with the puck most of the time, it tells you that he is in on a lot of the action."
On having Sergei Gonchar around to help Nichushkin transition to the NHL and North America
"I've heard nothing but good things about Sergei. He is your consummate pro, and he's a good mentor for our young Russian. And he's one of the few guys that can communicate with him right now. That part will come in handy."
On his command of the Russian language
"Nyet might be it for me (laughter). It's funny how you learn the word No before anything else."

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - The Food and Drug Administration says that 72 diet supplements sold in stores and over the internet are filled with hidden dangers, so they are working to pull the products with undeclared drugs off of the market.
Dr. Eve Guth says, "So it might say it has 10 milligrams of substance X, but when they take into the laboratory and test it might have two milligrams, or it might have 32 milligrams. Now that might not be a problem or it could be something that's very dangerous". Some of the supplements claim to be 'natural' or to contain only herbal ingredients, but Dr. Guth says they may actually contain chemicals or drugs that have not been approved for use in the United States.
In addition, as discovered by the FDA, some may contain traces of anti-depressants, anti-seizure medicines, or potent diuretics. Since the health risks can include high blood pressure, heart attack, seizures and even stroke, Dr. Guth says if the claim sound too good to be true... it probably is.

Before famed architecture firm Eckel & Mann won the competition to design Saint Louis's new city hall, it drew up the plans for the building that would become Whiskey Mansion Bed and Breakfast in Saint Joseph, located in northwest Missouri. Built in 1885, the mansion has since been artfully restored, though it still maintains some of its turn-of-the-century elements. With its sitting rooms dressed in golden wallpaper and red-velvet couches, it has a distinct Gothic feel. The building's charming Old-World vibe attracted the makers of the 2008 film Bonnie & Clyde vs. Dracula, who used the mansion as a set.
The house features a grand parlor, formal dining room, music room, and library. Victorian touches can be found throughout the house, especially in the six guest rooms. Each is individually decorated with an antique wooden bed and has a private bathroom with a pedestal sink and clawfoot soaking tub.
There's nothing like learning about medicine of the past to make us grateful for today's doctors. The Glore Psychiatric Museum illustrates how far health care has come by taking guests on a fascinating?and sometimes gruesome?journey into State Lunatic Asylum No. 2, which opened in 1874. Through interactive exhibits and artifacts, the museum, which as been featured on PBS and the Discovery Channel, shows what daily life at the hospital was like over the course of its history. In addition to hospital paraphernalia such as confinement boxes and uniforms, the Glore showcases artwork created by those suffering from mental-health disorders, and includes pottery, paintings, drawings, and needlework.
Ample mirrors reflect the salon's lavender walls and black-and-white checkered floors, giving it a sleek, '80s-throwback vibe. Amid these jazzy accents, skilled stylist Josette Hall manufactures stylish up-dos and highlights, available in an olympic assortment of bronze and gold. Clients may also solicit the salon for other beautification services, such as mani-pedis that pop and facials that restore the complexion.

S&P Closes Above 2000 For First Time On Lowest Volume Day Of YearSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/26/2014 - 16:05
For the last 2 weeks, the US Dollar has surged - hitting new 13-month highs today amid JPY and EUR weakness - and for the last 2 weeks, US stock and bond markets have rallied (leaving 30Y yields implying the S&P is 130 points rich or yields are 25bps too low). S&P tops 2,000, Nasdaq closed up for 10th day in a row, Russell outperformed on major short-squeeze, Trannies slid red for the week. Today saw modest Treasury weakness (30Y +2bps, 2Y -1bps) but still lower on the week; gold ($1285), silver ($19.50), and oil ($94) gained on the day - despite USD strength - as copper dropped 1%. Credit markets remain unimpressed by record-er highs in stocks. VIX decoupled from equity strength today as NASDAQ options feeds broke. Volume was an utter disaster... that is all.

While in July margin debt did dip modestly from near all time highs hit back in June when total margin debt was virtually tied with the previous record, at $464 billion, it was that other metric tracked by the NYSE, namely Investor Net Worth, calculated by subtracting margin debt from the notional represented in free credit cash accounts and credit balances in margin accounts, that was the notable highlight in the July report: at a negative $182.1 billion, a decline of $6.3 billion from the prior month, investor Net Worth has never been lower.

China Has Lost 55% Of Its Most Valuable ResourceSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/26/2014 - 14:42
Roughly 60% of California right now is suffering "extreme drought" conditions. 30% of the state is in "severe drought". And 10% of the state is only under "drought". In other words, roughly the entire state - the 8th largest economy in the world – is facing a severe shortage of water. But if you think that's bad, China is about to take over the spotlight yet again. A study by China's Ministry of Water Resources found that approximately 55% of China's 50,000 rivers that existed in the 1990s have disappeared.

For $1 Million You Have A Choice: 15 Square Meters In Monaco Or A Trailer In The HamptonsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/26/2014 - 14:21
A few days ago, when we looked at what is one of the last tax havens in the world, the principality of Monaco, we uncovered not only the world's most expensive Penthouse costing a whopping $400 million, but got some perspective on how far one's dollar really goes, or doesn't. Because when it comes to asset inflation there is a world for the "rest of us", where according to Janet Yellen "inflation is noisy" and any spikes should be ignored, and one for the 1%, where inflation is essentially off the charts. In fact, a world where as the following anecdote fiat prices hardly matter.

Meet The LMCI - The Fed's New Goal-Seeked, 19-Factor Labor Market Regression RigmaroleSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/26/2014 - 13:55
In the rush to make QE's taper and the follow-on "forward guidance" appear more data-related than of due concerns about the structural (and ultimately philosophical) flaws in the economy, the regressionists of the Federal Reserve have come up with more regressions - a 19-factor model to determine Yellen's 'labor market conditions'. What does this mathematical reconstruction of the labor market tell us about the labor market? If you believe the figures, this has been one of the best recoveries on record. No, seriously...

With Half Of City Residents Delinquent, Detroit Restarts Water Shut-OffsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/26/2014 - 13:27
"Utility disconnection is always considered a last resort, obviously because of consequences for households," but as Detroit News reports, but water-providers can expect more controversy, as a month-long moratorium against shutting off water for those behind on their bills expired last night. Halting service to people that don't pay generate outrage among not just Detroit residents but a wider audience who proclaim 'water should be a right'. However, as one utility director noted, "We've seen a lot more payments...They need that little kick in the pants to get in here and do it." Water industry experts say cities with high delinquency rates sometimes have few other effective options for getting customers to catch up on their bills. Roughly half of Detroit's 170,000 customers were delinquent as of last spring.

As Argentina Peso Plummets To Record, BofA Warns Of Looming Economic CrisisSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/26/2014 - 12:41
After spending time in Argentina, BofA's Marcos Buscaglia is concerned... The perception of many locals is that the risks of an economic/currency crisis before year-end have increased significantly. This compares to a view they had before of a muddle-through till the 2015 presidential elections. Policy decision-making is ever more concentrated, and the administration has radicalized, but the severe economic downturn will change political incentives in 2015, in BofA's view. With the official peso rate at record lows once again, the black-market Dolar-Blue tumbled to over 14/USD - a record low indicating dramatic devaluation ahead (which of course, sends ARS-denominated stocks surge to record highs).

JPMorgan Sees 50% Chance Of ECB QE By Year-End, Will Ease More Next WeekSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/26/2014 - 11:42
Wondering why US and European stocks knee-jerked higher in the last hour - wonder no more. JPMorgan released a report stating they expect the ECB to ease next week, masking some policy changes next week to make TLTROs more attractive and even a slight disappointment in data may trigger sovereign QE (30% chance next week and 50% by year-end). Of course, the kicker in all of this discussion of QE is that the ECB is already doing it - willing to buy whetever bonds European banks buy via repo agreements (with no haircut) - and with yields already at record lows (or negative) in the face of record-high 'real' financing costs for non-financials, the exuberance appears misplaced.

White Hawk Down - UN Helicopter Shot Down In South SudanSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/26/2014 - 11:06
Time for some more 'humanitarian' airtsrike non-boots-on-the-ground 'advisors'... As AP reports, The U.N. mission in South Sudan says one of its helicopters has crashed, and a U.N. official told The Associated Press that it appears the aircraft was shot down. While not quite Mogadishu (yet), the UN is "deeply concerned" about the crew as the widespread and massive violence between rebels and the national army in South Sudan that has raged since December continues to rage.

(Un)Comfortable Myths About High Yield DebtSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/26/2014 - 10:47
There rarely seems to be a "reason" for why market crashes happen. Market observers are e.g. debating to this day what actually "caused" the crash of 1987. It is in the nature of the beast that once liquidity evaporates sufficiently that not all bubble activities can be sustained at once any longer, bids begin to become scarce in one market segment after another. Eventually, they can disappear altogether – and sellers suddenly find they are selling into a vacuum. Once this happens, the usual sequence of margin calls and forced selling does the rest. Risk premiums normalize abruptly, and there doesn't need to be an obvious reason for this to happen. Compressed risk premiums can never be sustained "forever".

Doctor Fed, You Are Wanted In The San Francisco Housing Ward, StatSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/26/2014 - 10:22
The only three previous times when there was such a sharp contraction in the pace of San Fran home price appreciation, either the dot com bubble, the housing bubble, or the European sovereign debt bubble had just burst. For now, we leave what is going on in San Francisco as merely a question mark, because clearly the Fed's grand "reflation at all costs" experiment is nowhere near over...

All of us want "better" customers. These clients love our products/services, spread the word to friends and colleagues, suggest constructive improvements — and pay us well and on time. Adding more of these A-rated customers means more profits, more innovation, more inspiration, and more growth.
But bottom-tier customers can have just as dramatic an impact on the sustainability of your business. They complain constantly about your product/service, your people, your pricing – and then they refuse to pay. They cut deeply into your profits and the psychic energy of your people and you as owner. Dropping these E-rated customers actually saves you money and time and frees up your energy to focus on gaining better customers.
A simple, yet revealing exercise is to rate your current and past customers. Create a simple spreadsheet or table with the names of your current and past customers in the first column. Next decide from the list below key rating characteristics:
Customer Demographics
Financial Impact
Interpersonal/Personal Fit with Your Company
After collecting all of this information, create an overall Customer Rating. For some this may be an objective mathematical compilation of the previous columns. For others it may be a subjective evaluation once you view the information and reflect on the relationship. Typically, A-rated and E-rated customers quickly pop out. You can then judge the others as "B", "C", or "D" clients adding comments on ways they may move up (or down) in ratings.
You may also gain additional insights into what decisions will help create growth. For example:
After doing this exercise, reflect on the big "aha's" in the Comments section below or on Facebook.

Imperial Beach Mayor Jim Janney was in Washington, D.C., Monday.
He's not there for the State of the Union, but rather to speak to members of Congress on behalf of the San Diego Association of Governments, the regional planning agency.
As vice chair of SANDAG, Mayor Jim Janney receives a little less in payment a year than he receives for being mayor of Imperial Beach.
As a SANDAG Vice Chair Janney received $10,306 in 2012 for attending SANDAG meetings and being a member of the agency's board, according to U-T San Diego.
Last year Janney received $13,200 a year in salary to be mayor of Imperial Beach. City Councilmembers received $3,600 in annual pay, according to City Clerk Jacqueline Hald.
The mayor and City Council of Imperial Beach work in a part-time capacity, according to city municipal code.
Members of the City Council also sit on the city's Planning Commission, Personnel Board, Public Financing Authority, Housing Authority and the Imperial Beach Redevelopment Agency Successor Agency.
As city employees the mayor and City Councilmembers are eligible to receive health insurance, a state pension and other benefits that cost the city $46,029 a piece annually, according to the 2012-13 budget.
Amounts vary for different members of the City Council depending on which benefits they elect to receive, said Finance Department director Kathleen Von Achen.
To read more about payment from SANDAG to local public officials see this U-T San Diego article.

Financial Reforms and Consumption Behaviour in Malawi
AbstractThe purpose of the study is to examine whether financial reforms implemented in the 1980s and 1990s altered the pattern of aggregate consumption behaviour in Malawi. More specifically, the study questions whether financial reforms affected consumption behaviour by reducing the excess sensitivity of changes in consumption to changes in current income using the Permanent income hypothesis framework. If it happens that excess sensitivity does not reduce, the paper explores further whether the failure is due to liquidity constraints or myopia. This study is unique from the rest in the sense that new constructed time series of financial reform indices are used in the estimation of the consumption function. The study finds that PIH of aggregate consumption behaviour does not exist in Malawi. Most of the consumers follow the "rule-of-thumb" of consuming their current income partly due to liquidity constraints. Although, we demonstrate that the effects of financial reforms on consumption behaviour are due to both liquidity constraints and myopic, the increase in consumption in Malawi can be explained along other factors than financial liberalisation. The excess sensitivities obtained are larger than what has been obtained in developed countries as well as other less developed countries. Liberalisation was implemented on the background of weak institutions and unstable macroeconomic environment.

Despite Gawker Post KTLA Reporter Keeps it Clean After Being Scared by Magician
KTLA, the Los Angeles CW affiliate, has responded to a video posted on Gawker.com involving its morning feature reporter Allie Mac Kay.
Mac Kay had a live freak out moment during a May 20 live shot. During the report, magician Justin Willman shattered a pitcher Mac Kay was holding while Willman was attempting to fill it up with apple juice through the viewer's 'energy.'
In the actual live shot, Mac Kay said, "My gosh! You gotta warn me of this crap Justin!" But the You Tube clip had MacKay bleeped out when she said the word "crap," giving the illusion she said something worse on air. You can watch the two videos back to back after the jump. Read more

Raises OK'd for University of Pittsburgh officials
Nordenberg gets 3.3 percent; range among 6 top deputies reaches 15 percentDecember 5, 2012 12:00 AM
Share with others:
University of Pittsburgh trustees Tuesday awarded Chancellor Mark Nordenberg a 3.3 percent salary increase to $580,000 and gave his top deputies raises ranging from 3.3 percent to 15 percent, citing a year of extraordinary accomplishments despite adversity.
The $18,500 pay raise Mr. Nordenberg is receiving in fiscal year 2012-13 is among increases awarded to seven officers of the university by the compensation committee of Pitt's board of trustees, which met via conference call.
Board chair Stephen Tritch said Pitt moved forward on several fronts despite difficulties that included a rash of bomb threats that traumatized the campus in the spring and a second consecutive year of major proposed funding cuts from the state.
Mr. Nordenberg's salary last year was frozen at his request, Mr. Tritch said, but the committee convinced him to take a raise this year, though Mr. Nordenberg insisted it be no greater than the smallest percentage awarded to other officers.
Pitt on Tuesday did not provide Mr. Nordenberg's total compensation, including benefits, for the period covered by the committee's vote. Information on Pitt's website put Mr. Nordenberg's total compensation in 2011 at $707,190.
His and the other raises approved by the committee are retroactive to July.
Now in his 18th year as chancellor, Mr. Nordenberg, 64, is "one of the most senior and successful university leaders in the country," Mr. Tritch said. "He has led this institution to 17 consecutive years of outstanding progress."
Other raises approved by the committee Tuesday include:
• Amy Marsh, chief investment officer, a 15 percent or $53,000 increase, bringing her salary to $405,000;
• Patricia Beeson, provost and senior vice chancellor, 10 percent or $34,000 increase, bringing her salary to $374,000;
• Jerome Cochran, executive vice chancellor and general counsel, a 3.8 percent or $18,000 increase, bringing his salary to $493,000;
• Arthur Ramicone, chief financial officer, a 3.8 percent or $13,000 increase, bringing his salary to $357,000;
• Jean Ferketish, secretary to the board of trustees and assistant chancellor, a 3.8 percent or $8,000 increase, bringing her salary to $216,000;
• Arthur Levine, senior vice chancellor for health sciences and dean of the School of Medicine, a 3.3 percent or $25,500 increase, bringing his salary to $787,500.
On average, officials said, faculty salaries increased 3.7 percent.
Mr. Tritch noted concern among trustees that Mr. Nordenberg and other top officers are paid less than comparable peers based on benchmarking by the school's executive compensation consultant.
Mr. Nordenberg said Ms. Marsh, who received the largest percentage increase, had become the subject of a recruiting effort and that Pitt's attempts to keep her resulted in the 15 percent pay raise. He said it stayed within appropriate benchmark levels.education - neigh_city

Burton started out with Trauma after stints with Agents of Misfortune and EZ-Street. He played on a few Trauma demos around 1982 or so, but left before the band released their debut album Scratch and Scream. Though it doesn't match up to anything Metallica ever wrote, Scratch and Scream is an uproarious metal record that dabbles in heavy/speed metal.
Thanks to YouTube, Scratch and Scream lives on. Long out of print and a challenge to search for through the usual seedy channels, the popular video streaming site is the easiest way to find it. That means the only way to get the full experience out of Scratch and Scream is from either having a dozen tabs open at once on your browser, or go from song to song. Both methods are not desirable, but they are there for those adventurous enough to seek the album out.
If time is an issue, or you just don't have the patience to follow the steps in the previous paragraph, "The Day All Hell Broke Loose" is where that precious few minutes of one's day should be spent. A speed metal delight, this track is about as close to perfection as the band gets. It's a tad sloppy, yet retains its composure with a collection of flashy guitar solos and deliciously over-the-top vocals. It's such a great track that the band is not able to top it.
That isn't to say that a listener would be drowning in filler with the rest of the songs. The band seems content to hover around Judas Priest/NWOBHM-inspired tempos, keeping the unrestricted speed contained to "The Warlock" and "Lay Low." "We Are Watching You" screams "Remember me!" with its tuneful gang chants shouting the name of the song title ad nauseum.
The last third of the album tries to branch out with lengthier compositions, which toy with melodic elements missing from the other material. Trauma takes a step away from their steady metal attack with the clean guitars on "In The End"; well, at least for the first minute or so, before the band gets back into their standard mode. "The Flight of the Raven" has vocalist Donny Hillier tone down his occasionally goofy screech for a Bruce Dickinson-esque performance.
Trauma deserves more than being a footnote for a former member of a legendary thrash band. They didn't make much of an impression during their brief foray together, breaking up soon after the release of Scratch and Scream. Watching older videos of the band, when they still had Burton in its ranks, makes one wonder what could have been if he would have stayed around (the same could be theorized about Jason Newsted and Flotsam and Jetsam).
Scratch and Scream is a competent, occasionally exhilarating listen that should be discovered again by a wide audience. It's a tough album to find a copy of, but it doesn't hurt to use YouTube to get acquainted with a solid record. For Trauma attempting to stamp out its own path, especially after losing the talented Burton, Scratch and Scream gets the nod for this week's Retro Recommendation.

Young Vincenzo Cortino, son of a Sicilian postman, delivers a package for his father and accidentally sees something he should not see. In America, Vincenzo works his way up to the top of the Mafia. One day, his youngest son makes a mistake and has to leave town. A little later, he ends up as a casino boss in Las Vegas. But the heads of the other families want old Don Cortino out of the way. So, they shoot him 47 times and send a very attractive woman to distract his son from his casino work. Will he fall for her or will he return to Diane, who, by the way, had run for President successfully in the meantime?

So how do we get brain dead players to respect the game. That finish was awful. Between Hobson and Saunders, I am not sure who was more clueless.
Leuer is not going to light the house up, but he at least looked like he belonged on the floor.
We are pretty light at the 8 through 15 point on this roster. Hammonds needs to fix this pretty quick or we are in for another awful season.

In the FHS Beta League, there was recently a trade. The deal was Henrik Lundqvist for Brian Elliott and Milan Lucic. For those of you who don't know, the league is a non-keeper, head to head league. Stats include: G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, WINS, GAA, SAVES, and SV%. Your overall record is a running total of your weekly results. So if you went 10-2-0, 4-7-1, and 3-8-1 the first three weeks, your overall record would be 17-17-2 (worth 36 points). It's a public league, so you can check it out here: FHS Beta League
The team getting Lundqvist is tied for 1st, the team getting Elliott and Lucic is in 10th (just 13 points behind the playoffs, though, so by no means dead in the water).
Two people contacted me regarding the deal. One claimed he'd veto it for selfish reasons. He thought it was a fair deal but said he doesn't want a team ahead of him getting better. The other said the deal was a joke. His words: "its a bad deal man, trust me. your not gonna find many people with the hockey intelligence that i have and anyone who would deal lundqvist for that is a joke. And well he is, im not dissing you man, were tied for 1st and your team is doing very well, but that trade is bad. your the clear winner and a trade from T1st to 11th like that just throws the integrity of the league out the window."
So my question to you is, how many people would veto the deal?

Blazes could have been tragic according to former firefighter
7:30am Monday 26th May 2014 in News
AN ex-firefighter has slammed the decision to turn off the town' street lights claiming it left officers dealing with the blaze hamstrung.
Thomas Johnson, of Brooklyn Road, was in the fire service for 12 years and called the brigade after seeing two cars on fire outside his home at just after 1am on Monday morning.
"They were definitely hampered by the lack of illumination in the area," he said.
"At one point the officers were struggling to find the fire hydrant through no fault of their own and one of them almost tripped over his own hose.
"Then they had trouble passing through the narrow part of the road at the bottom because there are no lights on.
"They have headtorches and things but that is not enough.
"I know from my time in the service if you come out from a brightly lit cab to the pitch black darkness it can take between 15 and 20 minutes before your eyes adjust.
"These people are heroes getting out of their beds in the middle of the night trying to save the lives of others and should be helped as much as possible with their job.
"It could have been tragic."

Last update: 25 July, 2009
After the disintegration of the central government at the end of the Old Kingdom, power had shifted to several local rulers who usurped royal power, even though their territory was often very limited. One of these local rulers was Antef I of the provincial city of Thebes in Upper-Egypt. That this Antef I, and his two immediate successors, had the ambition to once re-unite Egypt under Theban rule, is shown by the fact that they all claimed to be "King of Upper- and Lower-Egypt" and that they added a Horus-name to their titulary.
Their ambition was fulfilled by the 4th king of the 11th Dynasty, Mentuhotep II, who, during his more than 50-year long reign finally succeeded in ending the 9/10th Dynasty that ruled over Heracleopolis thus re-uniting the country. Because of this, Mentuhotep II was considered by later tradition as the 'second founder' of the country. His name would be placed prominently in many king-lists. Modern-day history books let the Middle Kingdom begin with the reign of this king.
His two successors do not appear to have been as formidable as he was. There even appear to have been some dynastic problems at the end of the dynasty: the name of the last Mentuhotep is missing in several of the important king-lists. The Turin King-list only mentions three Mentuhoteps, including a Mentuhotep who preceded Antef I, and in the summation of the dynasty notes a discrepancy of 7 years for the dynasty. This discrepancy is often interpreted as the duration of the last Mentuhotep's reign.
Different history books will often give different numbers to the kings named Mentuhotep. Sometimes the uniter of Egypt will be referred to as Mentuhotep I, other times as Mentuhotep II. The Turin King-list mentions a total of 3 kings with that name, but this includes an unattested Mentuhotep before Antef I and excludes the last king of the 11th Dynasty.
In some history books, this Mentuhotep is considered the first of that name, making the king who reunited Egypt the second Mentuhotep. However, because Antef I was the first Theban ruler to have claimed to be a king, other Egyptologists do not consider the older Mentuhotep as a king and thus do not count him as such. In their books, Mentuhotep I is the king who finally defeated the kings of the 9th/10th Dynasty.
More recently, the different Mentuhoteps are no longer identified by a number, but by adding their pre-nomen to their name. Thus Mentuhotep Nebhepetre is used to refer to the king who ended the 9th/10th Dynasty. For the sake of easy recognition, however, this site will continue to use sequence numbers for the Mentuhotep's, considering the unattested predecessor of Antef I as the first Mentuhotep.
The table below lists the kings of the 11th Dynasty.
Mentuhotep II re-united Egypt after almost a century of internal conflict and civil war.
(*) Note that all dates are approximations only and that even the length of each king's tenure of power is subject to debate.

House Agrees to Farm Bill Conference
The House passed a motion Friday to go to conference with the Senate on the farm bill. The same day - the House began debate of the House resolution that would urge farm bill conferees to adopt an amendment in the Senate farm bill to reduce crop insurance subsidies for farmers making more than 750-thousand dollars per year. The House passed by voice vote a resolution instructing House conferees to support a Senate farm bill provision to include this crop insurance change. House Ag Chair Frank Lucas says the resolution - sponsored by Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan, Illinois Senator Dick Durbin and Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn - would shrink the pool of crop insurance participants and lessen the total crop insurance premiums contributed to the pool to make payments when farmers have a loss. The House alo began debate Friday on a resolution to repeal the Administration of Tariff Rate Quotas language added by the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 - restoring the Ag Secretary's authority to manage supplies of sugar throughout the marketing year to meet domestic demand at reasonable prices. Saturday - the House voted down the resolution to change the sugar program by a vote of 192 to 212.

Care workers jailed after family use secret camera to catch them abusing brain damaged patient
Updated 6:20pm Friday 2nd May 2014 in News By Tui Benjamin, Reporter
TWO care workers have been jailed after they were caught on hidden cameras verbally abusing and slapping a brain damaged patient at a specialist hospital in Bury.
Rita Page, aged 69, and 33-year-old Lynette Crook were recorded calling 23-year-old Daniel Moran "scummy boy", slapping him and jabbing him with a pen while they were healthcare assistants at The Priory Highbank Centre in Walmersley Road.
Today at Bolton Crown Court they were jailed for seven months each after pleading guilty to five counts of ill treatment of a person who lacks capacity.
Judge Timothy Clayson said their actions had "belittled and demeaned" Mr Moran.
Mr Moran, a quadriplegic, had lived at The Priory since January 2009 after being left brain damaged in a car crash in April 2008.
The mistreatment, which happened between August 28 and September 19, 2012, was uncovered after concerned family members installed a secret camera in his room disguised as a mobile charger.
Robert Golinski, prosecuting, told the court Daniel has little mental capacity and cannot do anything for himself, meaning he needs round-the-clock care.
The court heard Page, of Palatine Drive, Bury, was "mortified" when she watched the footage of herself while in police custody.
Mark Stephenson, defending, said Page had treated Daniel like one of her own sons and was convinced he could hear her, often telling him jokes.
Crook, of Victoria Street, Ramsbottom, had been called "scum of the earth" and told to "rot in hell" following coverage of her crime, defence barrister John Close said.
At a hearing in March, Page pleaded guilty to slapping Mr Moran on his leg and using abusive language towards him.
Crook admitted slapping his leg, using abusive language and jabbing him in the head and body with a pen.
Judge Clayson said: "By behaving as you did towards Daniel each of you broke, in a fundamental way, the trust placed in you by his family.
"Society as a whole deplores abuse towards the vulnerable."
