Is Tom Friedman the Most Overrated and Disgraceful Journalist in America?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
When ranking which multi-millionaire American pundit is the most overrated, there are, without doubt, many worthy contenders, but one near the top of any list must be the New York Times' Thomas L. Friedman – with his long record of disastrous policy pronouncements including his enthusiasm for George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq.
Friedman, of course, has paid no career price for his misguided judgments and simplistic nostrums. Like many other star pundits who inhabit the Op-Ed pages of the Times and the Washington Post, Friedman has ascended to a place where the normal powers of gravity don't apply, where the cumulative weight of his errors only lifts him up.
Indeed, there is something profoundly nonsensical about Friedman's Olympian standing, inhabiting a plane of existence governed by the crazy rules of Washington's conventional wisdom, where – when looking down on the rest of us – Friedman feels free to cast aspersions on other people's sanity, like the Mad Hatter calling the Church Mouse nuts.
Friedman describes every foreign adversary who reacts against U.S. dictates as suffering from various stages of insanity. He accepts no possibility that these "designated enemies" are acting out of their own sense of self-interest and even fear of what the United States might be designing.
In last Sunday's column, for instance, Friedman airily dismissed the leaders of Iran, Syria, North Korea, China and Russia as all operating with screws loose, either totally crazy or fecklessly reckless. North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un was a "boy king … who seems totally off the grid." In Friedman's view, China is enabling North Korea's nuclear brinkmanship and "could end the freak show there anytime it wants."
Russia is aiding and abetting both the violence in Syria and the supposed nuclear ambitions of Iran. Friedman asks: "Do the Russians really believe that indulging Iran's covert nuclear program, to spite us, won't come back to haunt them with a nuclear-armed Iran, an Islamist regime on its border?"
To Friedman, Bashar al-Assad is simply "Syria's mad leader," not a secular autocrat representing Alawites and other terrified minorities fearing a Sunni uprising that includes armed militants associated with al-Qaeda terrorists and promoting Islamic fundamentalism.
You see, according to Friedman and his neoconservative allies, everyone that they don't like is simply crazy or absorbed with mindless self-interest – and it makes no sense to reason with these insane folks or to propose power-sharing compromises. Only "regime change" will do.
Who's Detached from Reality?
But the argument could be made that Friedman and the neocons are the people most disconnected from reality – and that the New York Times editors are behaving irresponsibly in continuing to grant Friedman some of the most prestigious space in American journalism to spout his nonsensical ravings.
Looking back at Friedman's history of recommending violence as the only remedy to a whole host of problems, including in places like Serbia and Iraq, you could reasonably conclude that he's the real nut case. He's the one who routinely urges the U.S. government to ignore international law in pursuit of half-baked goals that have spread misery over large swaths of the planet.
In 1999, during the U.S. bombing of Serbia, Friedman showed off his glib warmongering style: "Like it or not, we are at war with the Serbian nation (the Serbs certainly think so), and the stakes have to be very clear: Every week you ravage Kosovo is another decade we will set your country back by pulverizing you. You want 1950? We can do 1950. You want 1389? We can do 1389 too."

Hi Ali,Originally Posted by Ali
Abstract nouns are nouns that we can't see, touch, etc. "His ways" in the sentence above can be interpreted also as "his behavior". We could also use as an example "His curiosity led him to..." "Curiosity" and "behavior" are abstract nouns. Similarly, "ways" in this particular context is an abstract noun. Hope that helps
Good luck!

'Dark Knight Rises' Reviews Are In: What the Critics Are Saying
Early reviews for The Dark Knight Rises hit the Internet on Monday and, as one might expect, the film is already receiving some of the biggest accolades of the year.
Perhaps the strongest praise for the film came from The Hollywood Reporter, whose critic Todd McCarthy called it the best of director Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.
"Entirely enveloping and at times unnerving in a relevant way one would never have imagined, as a cohesive whole this ranks as the best of Nolan's trio, even if it lacks -- how could it not? -- an element as unique as Heath Ledger's immortal turn in The Dark Knight," McCarthy wrote in his review published late Sunday evening. "It's a blockbuster by any standard."
What else did the critics have to say?
Justin Chang of Variety offered similar praise for the movie, which opens nationwide on Friday, calling it both "exhilarating" and "exhausting."
"If it never quite matches the brilliance of 2008's The Dark Knight, this hugely ambitious action-drama nonetheless retains the moral urgency and serious-minded pulp instincts that have made the Warners franchise a beacon of integrity in an increasingly comicbook-driven Hollywood universe," he wrote.
Eric Kohn of indieWIRE was slightly less impressed, giving the film a B. Still, despite finding minor flaws with the movie, he says Nolan has brought his Batman trilogy to a "thundering, mostly satisfying conclusion."
Edward Douglas of ComingSoon gave the film a similar grade -- 8 out of 10 -- and for the most part seemed to enjoy Anne Hathaway's portrayal of Selina Kyle, better known as Catwoman.
"Anne Hathaway plays one of the more alluring Catwomen since Julie Newmar, creating an incredibly complex character that straddles the line of good and bad enough that you never know whose side she's on," he wrote. "Hathaway sometimes takes on a similarly affected way of delivering lines as Bale's Batman when in costume, but neither of the 'villains' ever can quite live up to what the late Heath Ledger brought to the Joker."
As for The Telegraph, its reviewer, Robbie Collin, gave the film a whopping five stars, arguing it dives deeper than any superhero movie in recent memory.
"The scope here is unashamedly novelistic, and although the plotting of the film's first act is arguably muddled, Nolan's sheer formal audacity means the stakes feel skin-pricklingly high at all times: if he is prepared to go this far, I found myself often wondering, just how far is he prepared to go?" he pondered. "Well, the answer is further than any other superhero film I can think of: after a breathless, bravura final act, a nuclear payload of catharsis brings The Dark Knight Rises, and Nolan's trilogy, to a ferociously satisfying close."
The Dark Knight Rises is the third and final chapter in Nolan's Batman saga, after 2005's Batman Begins and 2008's Oscar-winning Dark Knight. It stars Christian Bale, as Batman, Hathaway, and Tom Hardy, as Bane.

Just checked the weather at AccuWeather? Google Local is now over there, in the company's first outsourcing of Google Local to a partner. For example, here's the local forecast page for Newport Beach, California. Look in the upper-right hand corner, and you'll see the ability to do a local business search now powered by Google. So go find that local pizza place (I like Gina's), get a slice and sit in the sun.

From Moccasins to Main Street; A Journey Down the Old Chicago Road
What is now known as US 12 began as a Native American foot trail. It later became a military road connecting Fort Detroit to Fort Dearborn in Chicago. It was traveled by explorers, missionaries and fur trappers, and once was the primary route for those heading west for new land. Eventually small communities appeared along it with just the right distance between them to refresh the horses of the stagecoach and replenish the water supply of the steam engine. This is the story of the evolution of transportation in Michigan along a narrow pathway from Detroit to Chicago. This is a journey down the Old Chicago Road. Equity Studios won the State of Michigan's History Association, first place award for this outstanding historical documentary in 2006.This is a high quality, family friendly, 60 minute movie created in 2006 by Equity Studios of Sturgis, Michigan, in the USA.

Anyone have experience with both these and Voile's Tractor Skins? Curious in general, but specifically wondering if these are any more supple/easy to fold up compared to the Tractors. Also curious about the weight... Thanks in advance.
2 Answers
Any reports for using these for skinning in stormy conditions? Thanks
0 Answers
as some have said, this board is stable, and is excellent for shredding pow, blasting through pillows and crud, and rips corduroy better than anything i've ever been on. i'm 5'6" 150# and i ride the 166. these things are definitely an improvement over the Freeride! this is the longest board i've used, and i love the stability, which is nice for riding and stomping landings. the softer, wider tip and narrower, stiffer tail are great for keeping the tip out of the deep stuff. The Mojo's are also lighter than the Freerides: the Mojo 166 weighs the same (8.5#) as my Freeride 154... For those about my size and weight, if you're worried about the larger size of the 166, go for the 161. don't get the 154 if you're anywhere near my size. you'll sink your tip, have less stability in soft snow and crud, and have more chatter on hard snow conditions. don't do it!! i also highly recommend the mountain plate bindings for hard boots, and the Scarpa Matrix boots, which improve skinning, traversing, turning speed, and the inevitable two-plank downhill moments which are "spooky" as mentioned below due (partially) to the geometry of the board halves...
0 Comments
using AT boots with these bindings also seems to boost skinning performing - more power transfer, much easier edging on hard snow, more stiffness = less effort. getting at the pin to release the slider plate is much easier with these as well.

My search of the forums and talk with other splitters indicates for edging use soft 3 strap hard shell AT boots like: Garmont Mega lite, Scarpa F1, Scarpa Spirit 3, Scarpa Matrix. For less demanding splitting and more feel downhill, stiff soft boots like Burton Driver X, DC Ghost, or Salomon Malamute.
it'll work. just keep your edges sharp. especially on the moon.
i bought my splitboard on sale. i think it was from backcountry.com or mountaingear.com. cough up the cash, or be patient. alternately, look at networking websites like turns-all-year.com or teton gravity research.com, or better yet, in splitboard.com. you'll find someone with a splitboard for much cheaper, if you're willing to buy used.

Hello, Cindy -- I wanted to say again how much I appreciated the help from you, Mona, Karen, and other Skylawn staff members this weekend while I was doing video and photo coverage of the Segundo Jacinto memorial events. Everyone was very considerate. This was my first visit to Skylawn, and I was extremely impressed by the high level of care and professionalism there, as well as by the beauty of the Center and the park itself. You obviously extended yourselves to make sure the needs of the family were met in every way.
Dear Clifford, Thank you so much and I really appreciate all you have done for my husband's service. You did a wonderful job. You are a very kind and caring person. Please let your staff know how much I appreciate them going above and beyond their duties. . Again, Thank you so much for everything.
Dear Ms. Naras - We would like to thank you and your staff for helping us with the funeral and burial of R.C. It was a difficult time for us and you were all compassionate and professional.
Dear Cindy - Thanks so much for all your help with making my fathers funeral so special. I know he would be proud. You and the team really were fantastic and made everyone comfortable. We'll always have fond memories of that special service.
Dear Michael, Cindy, Mona and the Staff at Skylawn - Your professionalism, kind, respectful services to our family in our time of deepest grief will never be forgotten. With sincere thanks and appreciation.
I apologize for being so long in getting back to you. Had to get away for a change for a while. Last so many close friends for many years 50 & 60 years all in such a short time right after G. guess we are all getting older. We want to thank you for such a thoughtful generous gift - you'll never know how much that means to us. Many thanks again will be seeing you when things settle down more. Take care
Clifford, I wanted to thank you for coordinating such an organized, well-planned and respectful ceremony yesterday for T. P. The homage to the family and deference to the important cultural traditions of the Vietnamese people was done with caring, sensitivity, and sincerity. I want you to know that these gestures to a grieving family and friends makes the reality of saying good-bye to a loved one more acceptable. Your care and concern for everyone involved was quite evident. I can see that you were destined to do this work of comforting families and friends in their deepest grief. Very few people have the gifts to do so. Your efforts will forever be appreciated and remembered.
Hi Tony, Mr. Wong, Mr. Yu, Jim and every staffs, Thank you very much for all the helps for my Mom 's funeral yesterday, it went through smoothly with all your helps and efforts that we can't express our appreciations enough in words. The only thing we can think of is to spread the words and refer new clients to you for thank you. Thank you so much once again!
Great Experience, Staff was very responsive and kind. Beautiful place~!
Hi Nickol, My family is extremely grateful to you, John, and everyone at Skylawn for the guidance and making the arrangements. This gave my family a lot of comfort during a very difficult time. I appreciate it very much. I will be in touch with John when we are ready to look at plaque options. Please take care.

(Editor's Note: The League of Women Voters of Port Washington-Manhasset has sent the following letter to Election Commissioners John DeGrace and Jeffrey Stein and to Tom Suozzi, Craig Johnson and Judith Jacobs. It is reprinted here at the LWV's request.)
The League of Women Voters of Port Washington-Manhasset is very concerned about the choice of new voting machines that will be selected by the counties of New York State. We in the state League of Women Voters endorse the precinct-based paper ballot Optical Scan machine because it ensures accurate, recountable and accessible voting. These machines have been used for over 20 years and found to be simple to use with very few repairs. These machines do not require expensive technicians, special handling or special storage facilities. This makes them very cost-effective.
The Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law released a report on voting machines on Aug. 28, 2006. They endorse the Optical Scan machines as the best choice for our counties in New York. The requirement of a full-face ballot created problems for the Direct-Recording Electronic System (DRES), especially with respect to black, Hispanic and low-income voters. They also found Optical Scan machines more cost-effective.
Please read the enclosed questionnaire which we believe will help you to understand the issues involved in selecting these voting machines. Please let us know why specific machines were chosen and the reasons for rejecting those not chosen.

This course is now completed and archived. Joy Sikorski provided 11 months of fantastic lessons on our site; all remain archived for your learning and enjoyment (links below). The editors of SchoolhouseTeachers.com thank Joy for her contributions, wisdom, and heart for homeschooling! — Ed.
What do you see when you look up? I mean look up at the night skies when it is dark. Do you see only city lights or do you see the moon and the stars and all the dark spaces in between? What do you think about when you look up? What words come to your mind? Or what song?
I know it is kind of unusual to think about a song when you look up into the night skies, but because I like to create cross-curricular activities, we are going to put together a bit of astronomy with a bit of history and a bit of music for this month's lesson.
April is not only the time we celebrate the arrival of spring or the fun of April Fool's Day, it is also the month in which two important events in the history of space exploration took place. This month's lesson will spin off from those two space events into nothing less than…a song, of course!
Ready? Launch into this month's lesson here.
This Month's Goal
Expand your horizons about where you fit into the world.

The Seattle Times' Carol M. Ostrom, working in partnership with Kaiser Health News, reports: "Group Health Cooperative will not cover abortion in its individual health-insurance plans being offered through the Washington state marketplace put in place by the Affordable Care Act, but says women who buy them will be able to access the service without paying more. Group Health said it made the decision not to include the coverage because of murky regulations about how it would have to account for federal money in plans that offered abortion" (Ostrom, 8/30). Read the story.

Antibiotic's Label Should Include a Stronger Warning About Higher Mortality Rate, Public Citizen Tells FDA
Public Citizen Calls on FDA to Require Black Box Warning on Label for the Antibiotic Tigecycline
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should place a black box warning on an antibiotic used to treat a wide range of infections because of a higher mortality rate associated with taking the drug than other widely used antibiotics, Public Citizen said in a petition sent today to the agency.
The antibiotic, tigecycline, also known as Tygacil, was approved by the FDA in 2005 to treat complicated skin infections and intra-abdominal infections and in 2009 to treat community-acquired pneumonia.
But in 2010, the FDA issued a safety alert to health care professionals informing them of an increased mortality rate associated with the use of intravenous tigecycline compared to that of other antibiotics. The agency said that alternatives to tigecycline should be considered in patients with serious infections. At the same time, the FDA required that the drug label be modified to include data about the increased mortality risk, but these warnings were inadequate, Public Citizen said in the petition. Critical safety information does not appear in a black box warning at the top of the label and fails to describe appropriate restrictions on the use of the drug.
"Given the approximately 30 percent higher rate of mortality in subjects receiving tigecycline, as well the significantly higher rates of failures to cure serious infections, in comparison to subjects treated with comparator antibiotics, the content and placement of the warnings in the current drug label are woefully insufficient," said Dr. Michael Carome, deputy director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group. "Because of the increased death rate and the likely inappropriate use of tigecycline as a first-line, rather than last-resort, antibiotic for serious infections without simultaneous administration of other antibiotics, it is inexcusable that there is currently no black box warning for tigecycline. Such a warning, accompanied by stronger warnings describing appropriate restrictions on its use in other parts of the label, clearly is warranted to more effectively advise physicians about the dangers of using tigecycline to treat serious infections and to better protect public health."
Public Citizen calls on the FDA to add a black box warning to the antibiotic's label indicating the increased risk of death and advising that it should be used only as a last-resort antibiotic and then only in combination with one or more bactericidal antibiotics (antibiotics that directly kill bacteria, rather than interfere with bacteria growth). Public Citizen also is petitioning the agency to require an FDA-approved medication guide to be distributed to patients, as well as a "Dear Doctor" letter to physicians, warning them of the dangers of the drug and the need for restricted use.

Together, two separate corporate entities called Public Citizen, Inc. and Public Citizen Foundation, Inc., form Public Citizen. Both entities are part of the same overall organization, and this Web site refers to the two organizations collectively as Public Citizen.
Although the work of the two components overlaps, some activities are done by one component and not the other. The primary distinction is with respect to lobbying activity. Public Citizen, Inc., an IRS § 501(c)(4) entity, lobbies Congress to advance Public Citizen's mission of protecting public health and safety, advancing government transparency, and urging corporate accountability. Public Citizen Foundation, however, is an IRS § 501(c)(3) organization. Accordingly, its ability to engage in lobbying is limited by federal law, but it may receive donations that are tax-deductible by the contributor. Public Citizen Inc. does most of the lobbying activity discussed on the Public Citizen Web site. Public Citizen Foundation performs most of the litigation and education activities discussed on the Web site.
You may make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., Public Citizen Foundation, or both. Contributions to both organizations are used to support our public interest work. However, each Public Citizen component will use only the funds contributed directly to it to carry out the activities it conducts as part of Public Citizen's mission. Only gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible. Individuals who want to join Public Citizen should make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., which will not be tax deductible.

Crescent City Penguins Unaffected By Disasters
"An article on Friday about a decision by the New Orleans Hornets to change the team's name to the Pelicans misidentified, in some editions, the bird population in Louisiana that was threatened by Hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It was, of course, the pelican population — not the penguin population."

CENTRAL, LA (FOX44) — Two Central firefighters got hurt Saturday when a garage door came crashing down on top of them.
The fire happened in the 17800 block of Lake Vista Drive in Central around 8 o'clock Saturday night.
Firefighters say the garage door came off it's tracks and fell on the two firefighters.
One suffered minor burns to the ears. The other firefighters was sent to the hospital for smoke inhalation and was later released. Both firefighters are ok today.
The Central Fire Department says the fire started in a storage room attached to the house. Firefighters are still investigating what caused that fire.

Ah celebrity. The fame, the money, the glamour, the slippers. Wait, what?
Yes, that's Eva Longoria. Out in public. Wearing slippers. She really makes you believe in the magic of Hollywood doesn't she? Well, actually, she should, because if you haven't yet figured out that the magic of Hollywood is really just heavy makeup, soft lenses and tons of Photoshop, where the hell have you been living?
And sure, celebrities are entitled to go out in their pajamas to get a cup of coffee without having to put on makeup. It's just that they shouldn't. Oh, and a little wax on the upper lip wouldn't hurt either.
More pictures of Eva Longoria wearing her glamorous sweat pants, and those retarded pink flower slippers after the jump.

One of our challenges when building the first 150 beta units of alima was to avoid tooling to save time and money. On the other hand, we also valued a lot how the light was managed and spread out in the product.
There're two things to take into consideration when you want to use LEDs as an output in a product:
First light can only shine at a right angle of the PCB; or alongside with the electronic board if you use 90° type of SMT LEDs. In case you want to reach a location of your product which isn't directly aligned with the board you will have to buy, or have made, a LED pipe that will conduct the light to the right place.
Here are some examples or ready made led pipes:
The second role of a led pipe is to act as a diffuser; i.e.: the light is guided with minimum loss and, at the end, spread equally on the surface of the casing. This is accomplished by polishing the end of the pipe as you may see on above pictures.
In our case we wanted the light to be visible from all angles and spread out equally over 360° horizontally. To achieve a light ring usually you design a circular PCB with many LEDs and you have a diffuser right in contact with them.
See ring diffuser (showed in the hands of the person) and circular PCB with lots of LEDs (at the back):
Credit: ifixit.com teardown of google nexus Q
We couldn't afford to have a special LED board so we had to have the LEDs on our vertical PCB. Also we couldn't afford to have a ring piece that we would need to polish by hand.
So we had to conduct the light as equally as possible to the edges and then to diffuse it. For both functions we used light reflection by having a kind of gear teeth pattern laser cut in our transparent pmma. We tested several design and found out that it was by having one gear pattern close to the LEDs and one at the edge that it work out the best to have a relatively equal spread of lighting.
Several tested patterns:
Best working patterns:
The second part of the solution was to choose through hole diffuser LEDs so we could have two equal one on each side (only one side of our PCB uses SMTs) and they could also spread light toward the top of the enclosure.
Here with a transparent bottom plate, so you can see the inside:
Here how the led are placed on the PCB:
And now the results, having diffusing LEDs and reflector allows the light to spread vertically just as we wanted:

Rec teams come home with wins
On Saturday, September 10, 2011 TCRC Football traveled to Clarksdale to play the Riverton Ravens in the season opener. The 7 & 8 year old group played three quarters of football with a scoreless game, until J. Vaughn broke for a 63-yard score with seven seconds left in the quarter to give Tunica a 6-0 lead. Tunica defense played tough the rest of the way to keep the Ravens scoreless for the game.
Nine & 10 year olds started the game with a bang, when Timothy Brown broke the first play from scrimmage to go 80 yards for a touchdown. Tunica continued to add to the lead behind several offensive players (J. Dockery, K. Campbell, J. Johnson & Timothy Brown). Tunica won the game 42-6.

little did i know there was a dark plan brewing to keep me away from doing the long ride. it was supposed to be my first long ride in months and i was psyching myself up like a caged animal. mike-the-teach, who's been giving me hard time for not going long all season, inexplicably gets a flat and eugene and i had to stop because… well we all know how mike is an uptown girl who wouldn't dare dirty his own hands changing his own tire.
we took the shortcut up the american can hill to meet up with the regular ride crew. before we got to the picket fence, there was a breakaway of half dozen riders already coming up the road. hammean, robert, jp, brian… all the usual suspects were there. trailing about 50m back was a small chase group and then the rest of the pack which we joined in at the back. the turn out was quite small today and i think we only had about a dozen guys or so in our group.
we kept the attackers in sight for a while but i think we knew we weren't going to chase them down today. it's the end of the season and most of us didn't have the desire to maintain 30+ on a cold windy day. the ride was beautiful though. a special humanitarian award goes out to eugene for pushing guys up the hills so we can all stay and finish the ride together.
all in all, i would've been content with the day except i made a terrible mistake of trying to order breakfast at mcdonalds. it pains me to say this but listen alexis at the counter… it shouldn't be such a mystery when customers order something straight from the menu (that's the brightly lit sign hanging above your head). maybe i don't understand all the intricacies involved in grabbing the correct items, placing them on a tray and receiving the money in return, but is that really something that should take 15 minutes per customer? i can sympathize with you that it's an unrewarding career you found yourself in but how does it help you to make me repeat "medium size coffee with milk" 3 times before you finally wipe that blank stare from eyes and realize "hey, i think this guys wants me to get him some coffee!". i gotta be honest with you, "i'm lovin' it" didn't exactly entered my mind as i was standing at the counter coming to terms with the fact that there are more painful experiences in life than hill sprint interval training.
few notes from today's ride:
1. pay extra attention to where you leave your bike on the weekend before thanksgiving holiday. if it isn't nailed down, the angry shoppers will think it's for sale.
2. watch as much family guy as possible if you plan to have a conversation with mike-the-teach.
3. consult your doctor if erection lasts for 4 hours or more after seeing fender eyelets on a beautifully painted steel fork.
4. don't render your opinion about barry bonds to goody.
5. start a petition to ban robert from the regular ride.

Ottawa - Real gross domestic product grew 0.2% in February 2014, Statistics Canada reports. The output of goods-producing industries rose 0.5%, led by increases in mining and oil and gas extraction as well as manufacturing. Utilities also advanced, while construction was unchanged. In contrast, the agriculture and forestry sector declined.
The output of service industries edged up 0.1% in February. Increases in wholesale trade, retail trade, accommodation and food services as well as the public sector (education, health and public administration combined) were mostly offset by declines in arts and entertainment, professional services and the finance and insurance sector.
The mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction sector increases
Mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction increased 1.5% in February. Mining and quarrying (excluding oil and gas extraction) rose 4.8%, primarily as a result of increased copper and nickel mining. Oil and gas extraction grew 0.7%, mainly as a result of higher natural gas production. Support activities for mining and oil and gas extraction were up 0.2%.
Manufacturing output rises
Manufacturing output rose 0.6% in February, after increasing 1.6% in January. Durable-goods manufacturing grew 0.7%, led by transportation equipment. There were also gains in primary metals and non-metallic mineral products. In contrast, manufacturing of computer and electronic products as well as machinery declined.
Non-durable goods manufacturing rose 0.4% in February. Increases were recorded in chemical, petroleum and coal products and paper manufacturing. These gains were partly offset by declines in the manufacturing of food, textile, clothing and leather products as well as plastic and rubber products.
Wholesale and retail trade grow
Wholesale trade grew 0.6% in February, as almost all major industrial subgroups increased. Gains were notable in wholesaling of farm products, machinery, equipment and supplies and building materials and supplies.
Retail trade rose 0.2% in February as a result of notable gains at health and personal care stores and, to a lesser extent, at general merchandise stores (which includes department stores). Lower activity at motor vehicles and parts dealers partly offset these increases.
Other industries
The agriculture and forestry sector declined 1.5% in February, mainly as a result of lower crop production.
Utilities grew 0.5% in February, after falling 0.7% in January. Natural gas distribution rose in February while the electric power generation, transmission and distribution industry also advanced.

Walmart Black Fridays deals on Flatscreen TV was advertised for certain time frames / but Walmart decided to give advance TV vouchers out for other time frames without notice to customers and still told inquiring customers to stand in line to try to get a voucher for that particular time when they already knew that they gave out vouchers earlier to customers.Also if one person wanted to get vouchers for how many Flatscreen TV they had available they could.
This was my first and last time shopping on a BlackFriday day .My experience with Walmart was horrible on this day .afe4a4b

What you two kids don't understand is they start giving tickets before the sale starts. They can give tickets anytime before the sale but are not allowed to sell the TV's until 8pm.0 0 Reply

55 days. Here's a newer lettuce introduction that combines crimson-red splashes with the leaf form of apple-green oak-leaf lettuce, and a butter-cos lettuce habit! It might sound mixed up but that's a good thing because "Flashy Butter Oak" combines superior taste, texture and form—truly at the forefront of today's open-pollinated breeding. This versatile variety excels equally whether harvested as baby greens, baby heads or at full maturity. The texture is silky, the taste is mild, juicy and sweet. A Frank Morton innovation.

What are the pros? Great Taste, Hardy
What are the cons? Harder to germinate than some
How am I the first person to write a review of this beautiful and tasty little guy? It's not the easiest lettuce to get going. It seems to take about twice as many seeds and twice as much time to get up and running but it's worth it, here's why:
It's beautiful, almost like a green speckled flower
Even in hot conditions like this summer in SoCal (85-100 F) it's done pretty good, no wilting, no burning, no bolting. It's not as attractive to hoop caterpillars as my Sunset and Little Gems for some reason, even though I find them hiding in the Flashy Oak in the morning, but who knows why.
But how is it to eat? I pulled two of mine early, just as they were starting to really build up a head and we really enjoyed them. Because of the heat the leaves were a little tougher at the mid rib than normal lettuce, but the taste was really nice. A little nutty and sweet. I can only imagine that as things cool down they will only get better.

The Wizards are coming off a 24-point victory over the Detroit Pistons, but they'll have to repeat that performance again tonight in the Motor City to achieve a .500 record for the second time this season. The game will tip off at 7:30 PM from the Palace of Auburn Hills.
Key Match Up:
Josh Smith, who the Pistons signed to a 4-year contract this past summer, was benched by new head coach Mo Cheeks during the second half of the game against Washington on Saturday, and he's bound to have a breakout game sooner rather than later. Despite his awful play as of late, Smith is probably the most talented player on Detroit's roster and his versatility definitely separates him from the rest of the group. Although he's one of the most athletic players in the league, he consistently settles for jump shots and his coaching staff has benched him multiple times this season as a result. Joe Dumars, the Pistons' General Manager, constructed a roster full of new talent in hopes of competing for a playoff spot, but it obviously hasn't meshed well thus far.
Josh Smith on getting benched: I live to play this basketball game," Smith said in the Verizon Center visitor's locker room. "It's an honor for me to play it. When anybody challenges or anything about the fact about me not wanting to play I take real offense to it.
Trevor Ariza did a great job defensively on Smith the last time the two teams met, and he'll have to continue that tonight in Detroit. Smith will inevitably settle for difficult perimeter shots as he's been known for doing throughout his career and I think Ariza will live with any shots he knocks down that are out of his range. If Josh Smith is taking outside shots instead of taking advantage of his size and athleticism underneath the basket, then Trevor Ariza is doing his job well. With that said, Ariza has been a vital part of Washington's offense, especially from three point range, and the Pistons did a horrible job defensively last game. Let's hope his three point shooting continues tonight.
- The Pistons have lost 4 straight at home. They're sporting a 6-10 record in Detroit.
- Despite being one of the top rebounding teams in the NBA, the Wizards outrebounded the Pistons at home on Saturday.
- Kevin Seraphin is listed as questionable. He's sat out of the last few games with a sore knee.
Washington made it pretty clear that they have the tools to not only beat the Pistons, but to beat them by a very lopsided margin. Marcin Gortat and Trevor Booker outplayed Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond, but Detroit's frontcourt definitely presents some challenges to Washington. They need to continue rebounding the ball like they did on Saturday, and although the Pistons are the biggest team in the NBA, they've shown an inability to defend John Wall and Marcin Gortat inside the paint.
Wall and Gortat sliced Detroit's defense apart with their pick-and-roll and I think that's something the Pistons will struggle with again tonight. Wall needs to continue attacking the basket, and if they play defense the way they did last weekend, I think the Wizards will pick up another road win tonight.

Two further developments at the State level may affect this effort:
1) The ruling this week by the Wisconsin Supreme Court in Blunt v. Medtronic (see http://crossborderbiotech.ca/2009/02/19/device-liability-preemption/) could create additional pressure in favor of the legislative efforts, but
2) Gov. Perdue's pursuit of a tort reform bill in Georgia that would exempt device *and* drug manufacturers from State tort liability on FDA-approved products could moot the proposed legislation. Federal legislation could undo the Supreme Court's decisions, but it would be moot if Georgia and other States eliminate the state tort liability that the Supreme Court found was preempted by Federal laws in the first place.
No company want to develope any more device to save life and end up to get sue ,because some small percent of defect.
The Four Horsemen are coming!!!
I just want the cloud hanging over me in the form of the defective leads somehow resolved or fixed. I don't expect thousands of dollars, just a safe device that won't end my life when it was supposed to save it to begin with. Is that too much to ask from Medtronic? Seems like it is.
The view that FDA is incapable of keeping dangerous products off the market is incomplete and focuses on a tiny number of exceptions rather than the vast number of successes. A fairer analysis is that science and technology innovation are simply outpacing our regulatory resources. Legislation that permits states to create 50 different standards, in addition to FDA requirements, will only add more cost and complexity to the manufacture of medical and diagnostic devices. Instead of opening the door to yet more litigation, patients would be better served if Congress were to provide adequate resources so that FDA could do the job for which it was created.
Open Letter to Dennis Quaid
It has been recently reported that CCHIT (Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology) has been under fire. CCHIT is a subsidiary of HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society). The whistle was recently blown that CCHIT was "involuntarily dissolved" as of April 11, 2008. Yet the organization continued to "certify" products, accept government money, and accept payment from HIMSS' vendors for certifying these products.
HIMSS has an annual conference in Chicago beginning April 4, 2009. HIMSS nor CCHIT have divulged information why CCHIT was involuntarily dissolved, and why they were able to certify products and accept government money when the organization was defunct. It was also reported that CCHIT was operating without a legitimate business license. Who will indemnify these products from all these companies, who paid tens of thousands of dollars to "certify", only to find out the rubber stamp was from a ghost ship who does not even have a legitimate lab to test these products?
Didn't we learn our lesson from Wall Street, who sold us products they said were "insured"? Not only was CCHIT involuntarily dissolved and operating without a legitimate business license, but they were able to secure questionable "bridge financing" from the government from November 2008 to April 2009 to continue to certify products they do not test, while they themselves were not certified as a legal business entity.
CCHIT was able to apply for a "certification in good standing" with the IL Secretary of State's office on February 17, 2009, 10 days after the whistle was blown, but they have still not secured a legitimate business license. No comment from HIMSS or CCHIT so far, and the coverup will have an impact on HIMSS annual conference. Already two industry giants, Cerner and Meditech, have pulled out, with a third company pulling out last week.
It is wonderful that the Quaid foundation was established to inform and to try to prevent errors in the medical community, but what has NOT been addressed is what happens when the errors are due to faulty equipment and products that have been "certified" from an organization who was not legitimate, who does not have a test lab and who was "involuntarily dissolved"?
It is shameful when money drives the industry. It is also shameful when money drives the decision of the Quaid Foundation, to have Dennis Quaid become a keynote speaker at the HIMSS annual circus in April. So why then, Mr. Quaid, have you chosen to speak at their conference, especially in light of what has been reported recently about HIMSS and its subsidiary, CCHIT? It is well known that a HIPAA violation was filed against the healthcare organization, HIMSS, for violating the rights of its employees by stealing medical records and discussing private details with their staff. If HIMSS and its subsidiaries do not respect the rights of its own employees, why would you want to be affiliated with these carnival people?
HAVE YOU NO SHAME? Do your homework and pull out of their annual conference, like several industry healthcare giants have already done. Think about the foundation's mission, and not the generous money HIMSS has paid you to be their puppet.
UNBELIEVABLE! CCHIT still does not have a legitimate business license in the city of Chicago!! I just contacted the Investigative Division for business license violations (312-747-5185) and was told that a police offer went to CCHIT at 200 S. Wacker Drive on Friday, February 20, 2009. CCHIT did not have a business license on display. They have received a notice of violation and have a few days in which to comply. Chicago is suffering from a budget deficit. I suggest deadbeat organizations like CCHIT pay their fees, before they stick their hand out for more government monies.
People still don't get it. This is a huge misunderstanding fueled by plaintiff attorneys. Individuals can still sue medical device companies for negligence and for manufacturing defective products. But that is too hard for Plaintiff attorneys to prove. Instead, the plaintiff attorneys want to sue on the basis of safety and failure to warn. All they have to do for those suites is to place their injured client in front of a sympathetic jury and viola! They've won gobs of money. FDA has declared the devices as "safe and effective" and that there are more people who will benefit than be harmed, (the benefit to risk ratio) and FDA dictates to the company what the label is to display. The Reigel-Medtronic pre-emption case was decided because the federal law states that FDA has the authority to declare a device as "safe" and approves the labeling. Other courts or state legislatures cannot over ride this authority. Now this is only for products that went through the pre-market application process. Most of the devices on the market did not go through this process and were not declared by the feds to be "safe". Injured patients can sue for any reason on those products even for claims of unsafe designs. The case regarding the defribulator leads was dismissed because the lawyers claimed the product was unsafe. I read the judges decision. He specifically stated that the individuals in the suite could pursue their own individual lawsuits. He did not leave them without other recourse.
If this new legislation is approved and signed into law it will not only impact the highter cost of medical products to offset lawsuits it will cause subcontractors to become unwilling to provide necessary raw materials to device makers for fear of being draged into any lawsuits.
Thank God that Congress may have a conscience, as it is clear medical device makers don't!
Sign the petition to stop the insanity!
The 501(k) Notification needs drastic overhaul! The FDA is rife with corruption, re: their own scientists appealing to Congress and the Obama transition team, medical devices coming to market with unprecedented speed. This proliferation must stop to protect the innocent! I hope Congress follows through and the decision from a year ago is put aside.

I have had 2 children attend, and one is still at Brookside. Unfortunately Brookside maintains very average academic standards. Some teachers are excellent while others not so good. Their math program is below standard as evidenced by discussions with the 4th grade teachers who are the recipients of Brookside students. Those teachers have expressed to me and others confidentially of course that they are appalled by what is coming out of Brookside. Unfortunately most new 4th graders do not know their times tables at all and it s up to the 4th grade teacher to do remedial work. Hopefully this will improve.
I have 2 children in Brookside. Their experience has been nothing but a positive one. The principal, teachers and staff work together to give the students and terrfic learning experience. My children are motivated and love going to school everyday. Parents are a welcomed part of this school.
I am a parent of a student going into 4th grade at this school. His 3rd grade experience was wonderful at this school. So far i find the teacher assignments to be perfect. With my child he was paired witht hte teacher that was best for him , and my friends state their teacher assignments were dead on also.
Very child focused elementary school. Must fight for gifted and talented and advanced math programs.
Brookside is a great school. We have 2 kids in there now and we have been very pleased with it. The middle school (Strang)is a nightmare though with very poor leadership. There are very big problems between the superintendent of schools and the school board. We have been very disappointed with their inability to work together effectively. or civilly. The board meetings are televised and the way some of the board members talk to each other is really unbelievable. This has serious impact on the schools and on our kids. We are moving. Not because of the middle school (the high school seems to be better than the middle school) but we are happy to be missing the yorktown middle school experience.

The Wine Advocate
The DO of Rías Baixas lies on Galicia's deeply indented west coast, off of the Atlantic Ocean, just north of the Portuguese border—a land of harsh weather, great fishing, and the Albariño grape. While the vast majority of the wines from this district are produced from a mix of locations by cooperative wineries, many of which are blends of a variety of grapes, Finca de Arantei is a single estate, 100% Albariño wine. The winery occupies 87.5 acres of rocky and sandy soil in the sub-zone of Condado de Tea, the heart of the Miño Valley, which gets some of the most ample sunshine in the DO.
(REE-ez BUY-shuss)
Just above the Portuguese border lies Rias Baixas, Spain's prominent white wine region. Situated in Galacia, the region is wet and rainy with some large temperature changes due to its proximity to the coast.

What you don't seem to understand is that the veracity of Liberalism renders other considerations moot. For the MSM, that includes doctoring videotapes along with any and all other acts of bias. You see, Liberals are the Illuminati, socially evolved far beyond the limits of the common man. Their ends truly do justify their means. Using the ends to justify the means is only bad if those who do so turn out to be wrong. Liberals know they are never wrong. Oh sure, others think they are right at the time and that is why that quaint admonition against such excesses is necessary for them but Liberals are simply always right.


text: GamesBeat Standout Post Why Steam matters: Valve's ambitious plan for the future of the PC February 24, 2014 8:00 AM Jeffrey Grubb 0 Where Steam is going next So Valve has built a platform that millions of people use. It could just sit back and let the checks keep rolling in as most of the publishers in the multibillion-dollar industry continue using its online store to sell their games. That's not the plan. "Right now, we're into rethinking games as a connected economy of virtual goods and services — and virtual reality," Newell wrote in a post on the content-aggregation site Reddit. Valve is "into" upending the traditional economic model that it has built its entire business upon and some sci-fi magic. That's in addition to its major plans for SteamOS and the Steam Machines. This is a company that is not settling for its already impressive position atop the PC gaming pile. It has a vision for the future, and it is charging ahead. Dota 2, hats, and free-to-play PC games Sure, Steam has millions of gamers willing to pay up front for traditionally priced games, but Valve sees that the world is changing. Emerging nations are coming online, picking up PC gaming, and flocking to free-to-play titles. Last year, China's gaming industry generated $13 billion, and most of that went to PC games like League of Legends, NBA 2K Online, and Valve's own Dota 2. Above: Valve's Dota 2 in action.Image Credit: Valve The company will continue to sell full-priced games, but when Newell says that they're into "virtual items and services," he's talking about Steam's next 75 million users. The developer is currently running a pair of already successful experiments. One is the 2007 class-based shooter Team Fortress 2, and the other is the aforementioned action-strategy title Dota 2. Team Fortress 2 debuted in Valve's Orange Box compilation alongside its game Portal, but in 2011 the studio decided to make it free-to-play. Now, gamers can download Team Fortress 2 at no cost, but the game is still a source of profit. The title generated around $139 million in microtransaction sales last year, according to industry-intelligence firm Superdata Research. How is it making that money? Hats. That's right: Virtual hats, and it isn't even making all of them. The company has a suite of tools that enables community members to create and sell virtual goods to other gamers. Valve then takes a cut. These digital seamstresses sold enough hats (and other pieces of armor in Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2) to earn a $10.2 million payout from Valve. Dota 2 is a highly competitive title that is massive in the highly engaged pro-gamer scene. The title has teams of five players working together to quickly level up characters to destroy the opposing team's bases. In 2013, its first year out of its beta-testing phase, the game earned $80 million. Like Team Fortress 2, that was primarily from cosmetic items. While this is the free-to-play model in action, it is different from what we see on iOS and Android. Big successes on mobile platforms are strategy titles like Clash of Clans or puzzler Candy Crush Saga. These titles make millions of dollars by selling virtual items and bonuses that improve the customer's ability to play the game. Or the game might offer a player who just failed a stage the opportunity to pay a dollar to continue from where they left off. Those kinds of microtransactions fundamentally change the game. That's not what is happening in Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, or League of Legends (a popular Dota competitor). The fans of these games are highly sensitive to what they call the "pay-to-win" model, where the person who spends the most cash is guaranteed to perform better. While that is a proven strategy for flash success on mobile, it has yet to prove it can support long-term growth. Valve is betting that its strategy of highly playable, fundamentally sound games with a thriving ecosystem of community-created virtual goods will support growth into the future.
