FORT WAYNE – City Council members put off a decision on giving the University of Saint Francis $3 million in Legacy money toward its project to create a downtown campus.
Mayor Tom Henry's administration backed the request, saying it fit well with the Legacy Fund's goals of reusing community assets, revitalizing old buildings, drawing young people and professionals downtown and leveraging outside dollars. The Legacy Fund is money from the lease and sale of the city's old electric utility and does not use tax dollars.
The university's $12.3 million project includes renovating two historic buildings – the former Chamber of Commerce, 826 Ewing St., and the USF Performing Arts Center, formerly the Scottish Rite Center, at 431 W. Berry St.
The former Chamber building will become the new home for the Keith Busse School of Business and Entrepreneurial Leadership, which is expanding to include a risk management and insurance program. The new Media Entrepreneurship Technology in the Arts program and the school's music technology program will be housed in the USF Performing Arts Center, which will also be used by students in the new bachelor of fine arts in dance.
Saint Francis President Sister M. Elise Kriss said the project depends on Legacy funding. The Catholic university has already spent $2.3 million buying the two buildings and needs about $5 million each for upgrades and renovations, Kriss said. Both were built in the 1920s.
But spending Legacy money requires a supermajority of six of nine council members for approval. Mitch Harper, R-4th, said he would abstain because he and his wife teach at Saint Francis; John Crawford, R-at large, said he backs the project but opposes using Legacy money; and Russ Jehl, R-2nd, was expected to oppose the spending. That made every other vote critical, and John Shoaff, D-at large, said he was conflicted on the issue.
Shoaff said that, like Crawford, he was in favor of the project itself but was concerned about the amount of money requested.
One question many members had was answered quickly: Council attorney Joe Bonahoom said approval would not violate the separation of church and state because the project met the rules previously created for projects.
Crawford proposed holding the question for two weeks to give time for officials to explore other options, such as making the $3 million a loan or seeing if the Capital Improvements Board could fund it. Crawford's motion passed 7-2, with Geoff Paddock, D-5th, and Marty Bender, R-at large, voting no.
Kriss said afterward she didn't know how to react, as the university had not contemplated borrowing the money. Saint Francis officials said the Legacy grant is crucial to raising the rest of the money needed.
The Legacy Fund started with about $47 million on hand; an additional $28 million in investment returns and payments is expected over the next 12 years.
So far, about $24 million has been committed to various projects; about $5 million of that has actually been spent.

Pick of the summer shoe sales this week
So what's new in the sales this week? As the season progresses, we're seeing more and more amazing bargains in the shoe department, and it's proving almost impossible to avoid the deals on offer. I've already caved in twice and picked up shoes in the sales - this week alone!
Kenzo 'Diletta' wedge sandals, £92 (was £185) >>
These flatform espadrille wedges have been one of the biggest hits of the summer, and I absolutely love this coral blush version of the shoe. Now the price has dropped below £100, I'm seriously tempted to get this very fashion-forward style in time for my summer holidays.
Clarks Smart Deva fuchsia sandals £39.99 >>
Our favourite Clarks style of the summer, these eye-popping snake-effect sandals are based on the simple designs seen on the S/S 2013 catwalks, and have been made super comfortable by Clarks' Software technology. Stylish and enormously cool on hot days, they're about the best mix of comfort and style we've seen all year. Reduced just a little from £44.99 and worth every penny.
Diane Von Furstenberg Sanaa sandals £106 >>
Another runway hit of spring/summer 2013, DVF's T-bar Sanaa sandals are a key look for the seasons and dripping with style. Shown here in a beige suede edition with silver baubles, the shoes have been reduced down from an original £265 to just £106 - a great price for a classic shoe from a big name designer whose enjoying a particularly strong period at present.
Miista prism heel pumps £84 (was £165) >>
Miista has been one of the summer's biggest success stories: the cult East London label suddenly became a favourite of fashionistas everywhere. In particular, this prism heel look was a huge hit, and in this pointed toe court edition, it's now just £84 from an original £165.

Dimitar Berbatov has told Paddy Crerand in an exclusive MUTV interview that he loves playing for United.
The Bulgarian star is proud to represent the champions and, in a revealing chat with the Reds legend, recalled his joy at learning of the club's interest in his signature. Despite a late bid from City, and rumours of a more lucrative offer, the then-Spurs striker joined United on deadline day in 2008 and, of course, was joint-winner of the Golden Boot last term.
"My mind was always set on joining Manchester United," he told Crerand. "How can you not go to United? I don't play for money. I play for glory and winning championships.
"I'm happy here. My family is together in Manchester. I hear people complain about the weather, there's nothing to do and the food. But, for me, it's not like that. I play for a club I love, the biggest club, and everything else doesn't matter."
Reflecting on United's initial interest in signing him from Tottenham, the 30-year-old was contacted by his agent Emil Danchev.
"He called me to say we have interest from Manchester United," added Berbatov. "I said: 'Don't joke with me' but he said he was serious. So I was speechless. When the biggest club contact you, it's a big deal for me coming from a small country like Bulgaria."
Watch the full episode of Paddy meets Berbatov on MUTV at 9pm on Tuesday.

A new tool has been added to the arsenal of Omaha police, a national mentoring program called the OK Program where African-American police officers mentor young African-American males who are at high risk for going to jail or being a victim of crime.
Organizers say a big part of the mentoring program is to change minds and attitudes. "Black men have more influence on black boys than anyone in the country," says the program's Donald Northcross. "What the OK Program does is we recruit black men to take that responsibility, we train them how to do it."
Officer Antwone Finch is a six-year police veteran. Many times he has had to deal with young African-American men in a negative light. "The kids are dealing with hard times with single parents, a lot of fathers are outside of the home so they don't have direction, no male role models, no role models to give them what they need. Bring a man back into the home so they can see what it takes to be a man."
Officer Finch traveled to Little Rock, Arkansas for OK Program training and hopes to teach the young men how to be better men, how important it is to stay in school and how to give and earn respect.
"A lot of male juveniles in north Omaha have a problem with the police, but this gets us back in touch with police and the community. We get to know male juveniles and they get to know the police department."

Andy Robinson has brought in Nick de Luca into the Scotland starting XV for Saturday's RBS Six Nations clash with Ireland at the Aviva Stadium.
Andy Robinson has brought in Nick de Luca into the Scotland starting XV for Saturday's RBS Six Nations clash with Ireland at the Aviva Stadium.
Robinson has been forced to tinker with his side following the injury to Rory Lamont and he has named De Luca in the centre with Sean Lamont moving the outside to replace his brother.
The rest of the team is the same as the one that went close to beating France last time but Robinson has shuffled his replacements with Euan Murray, Ruaridh Jackson and Max Evans all taking their place on the bench in place of Ed Kalman, Duncan Weir and De Luca.
"We did many good things in the game against France but we need to be better, especially in our accuracy and execution at breakdown, in order to beat Ireland," Robinson said.
"If we do the basic things well and are ruthless in contact then we can put ourselves in a position to defeat a very good Ireland team."
The coach is also pleased to see Jackson return to the fold after a number of injury problems.
"Ruaridh has worked hard and done well in his games with Glasgow. He had a tough time with injury following the Rugby World Cup but he has the strength of character required in international rugby," Robinson added.
"We are also delighted to see Max and Euan back in the squad and look forward to their contribution this weekend."
Scotland (XV v Ireland): S Hogg; L Jones, N De Luca, G Morrison, S Lamont;, G Laidlaw, M Blair; A Jacobsen, R Ford, G Cross, R Gray, J Hamilton, J Barclay, R Rennie, D Denton.
Replacements: S Lawson, E Murray, A Kellock, R Vernon, C Cusiter, R Jackson, M Evans.

Lines Cause Stir Among Cyclists
The valley's bicyclists are in an uproar after the painting of new turn lanes on Wyoming Highway 22 just west of Jackson greatly diminished the bike lanes along the highway in several locations. Consequently, Friends of Pathways is actively in contact with the Wyoming Department of Transporation and Teton County to address those newly created turning lanes. The new lanes and striping installed by WYDOT on Wyoming Highway 22 at Brown's Curve and near West Gros Ventre Butte have resulted in the narrowing of the eight-foot wide shoulder to 3½ feet. Friends of Pathways points out that the American Association of State Highway and Transporation Officials have published a policy on the design of highways and streets recommending an 8-foot shoulder on rural collector or arterial highways that carry more than 2,000 vehicles/day. WYO-22 carries more than 20,000. Friends of Pathways is advocating the reestablishment of the old stripes until WYODT has an opportunity to widen the shoulders to accomodate the additional lanes. WYDOT District Engineer John Eddins says the department is currently working toward long term solutions for all modes of travel on Highway 22 through its Planning Environmental Linkage Study.

dre beats one. They really enjoy exclamation factors. They loooooove them. The primary time I bought PSW, I used to be in the horrible funk. I flipped as a result of a concern on the newsstand and noticed the exclamation points, the pink arrows, plus the pages pretty much fully devoid of text, and that i was like, "How cheerful!" Other than that when every thing concludes by having an exclamation point—there are 10 within the go over with the June challenge by yourself, four within a little blurb about a juice drink—it arrives off less like real enthusiasm plus more just plain manic. (Yeah, yeah, I exploit loads of exclamation points, also, but I exploit them sarcastically. Glass households, and so forth.)two. In addition they really enjoy irrelevant actors. This issue is packed with the likes of Camilla Alves, Emmy Rossum, and Rachel Bilson. Plus they! are! fired up! about Camilla Belle, who I'm persuaded is usually a publicist's fabrication and not an genuine human currently being. Has anybody at any time witnessed her inside a movie? Doesn't matter, due to the fact PSW has committed an entire webpage to her clothing and is particularly looking ahead to her approaching roles in Breakaway and Zebras. The two of which can be real flicks, I'm definitely sure.3. They feel they have got moneybags visitors. And maybe they are doing. But foolishly, I'd expected PSW to be a low-end counterpart to Lucky. What was I considering? There is no advertiser payola in that! While the magazine does function a good combine of inexpensive variations ("Under $25!"), you will also find the typical tone-deaf options like "Celebs Enjoy a Deal." I'll grant them Kirsten Dunst's $50 gown from Specific, but I refuse to budge on Vanessa Hudgens' $71 scarf. Arrive on! It is a scarf. Did kittens weave the headscarf from their own freshly shed fur? No? Then no offer.four. They run the worst celeb adverts at any time. Admittedly, I'm driving on my looking at what with shifting across the nation and job-hunting and all, so potentially these ads ("celebrity mom Brooke Burke" for Suave, Patricia Discipline for U by Kotex) are in all of the mags. But I would like to debate this Jessica Szohr ad for Dove antiperspirant: it is Three Pages of her in the most awkward, armpit-revealing poses at any time dedicated to print. Moreover to photos so negative they are not even comical, the ad features clearly fabricated quotations in regards to the preposterous outfits she's modeling. For example:My hip fedora hints this knit tank bohemian.Did you've got to learn that sentence three times before you figured out which word was intended to get the verb? Me far too! Also:Rocking sleeveless types tends to make me experience amazing and feminine.Uh, it is a sleeveless top notch. Exactly where does the facility occur from? Your hairless underarms? I'm so bewildered by this conflation of armpits with, you recognize, Genuine EMPOWERMENT. I could go on, but I'll just say this: Dove is basically a deodorant. It's not a substance that magically confers equality whenever you use it. Feminism will not likely emanate from the powder-scented armpits. Alright?five. They utilize hilariously meaningless statements about vogue. It's the Fortunate syndrome: as you should identify just about everything, you are backed into some honestly absurd statements. And i know whereof I talk: inside a previous employment, I had to explain 75 varied pieces of lingerie almost every thirty day period, while not applying the word "sexy." Try it in your home a while. You are going to need to beat your head in opposition to a wall, or make associates that has a thesaurus, or both equally!About a pair of J. Crew espadrilles:They're really easy to slide on and off!Fantastic, given that placing on and eradicating footwear is normally so tricky!About a JC Penney elephant-pendant necklace:Adds a novel, world wide contact!Since almost nothing claims you're independent and cultured like carrying a $10 necklace from a nationwide section shop chain.And on Taylor Swift's tunic:A drapey high worn off the shoulder adds a flirty, offhand contact.Offhand? Can it be intended to look like you did not check out in the least? Fashion, you confuse me.So that is the June issue Persons StyleWatch, in approximately the same amount of words that actually appear within the magazine. I'll save you the trouble of counting: I used twelve exclamation details in this post, not counting the title, and only about three of those appeared in estimates from the magazine. Use the comments to castigate me as you see fit.Memo to Blessed: Cease Existifying Words louis vuitton handbags

Call Number: 385.0973 FLO
Publication Date: 2013-09-03
Learn what it was like to travel on the transcontinental railroad in the 1860s. With encyclopedic enthusiasm, Floca visually documents the trip, vignettes illustrating the train's equipment as well as such must-know details as toilet and sleeping conditions. Full- and double-page spreads take advantage of the book's unusually large trim for breathtaking long shots of the American landscape and thrilling perspectives of the muscular engine itself. The nameless girl and boy provide touchstones for readers throughout, dubiously eyeing an unidentifiable dinner, juddering across a trestle, staring out with wide-eyed wonder. Unjustly undersung as a writer, Floca soars with his free-verse narrative, exploiting alliteration, assonance and internal rhyme to reinforce the rhythms of the journey. Frequent variations in font and type ("HUFF HUFF HUFF!" is spelled out in ornate, antique letters) further boost the excitement. Front endpapers provide detail on the building of the transcontinental railroad; back endpapers show the steam engine in cross section, explaining exactly how coal and water made it go. Nothing short of spectacular, just like the journey it describes.

The Red Flag
Call Number: HX36 .P75 2009
Communism was one of the most powerful political and intellectual movements the world has ever seen. At the height of their influence, Communists controlled more than a third of the Earth's surface. But perhaps more astonishing than its rapid rise and extraordinary reach was Communism's sudden, devastating collapse in November of 1989. In this book the author, an Oxford professor, tells the epic story of a movement that has taken root in dozens of countries across two hundred years, from its birth after the French Revolution to its ideological maturity in nineteenth century Germany to its rise to dominance (and subsequent fall) in the twentieth century. Beginning with the first modern Communists in the age of Robespierre, he examines the motives of thinkers and leaders including Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Che Guevara, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Gorbachev, and many others. He also asks what it was about Communism that inspired its rank and file, whether the militants of 1920s Russia, the guerrilla fighters of China, or the students of Ethiopia, and explores the experience of what it meant to live under Communism for its millions of subjects. He shows how Communism, in all its varieties, appealed to different societies for different reasons, in some as a response to inequalities and in others more out of a desire to catch up with the West. But paradoxically, while destroying one web of inequality, Communist leaders were simultaneously weaving another. It was this dynamic, together with widespread economic failure and an escalating loss of faith in the system, that ultimately destroyed Soviet Communism itself. At a time when global capitalism is in crisis and powerful new political forces have arisen to confront Western democracy, this book offers a perspective for applying the lessons of the past to navigating the future.

The Diffusion of Military Power
Call Number: U42 .H67 2010
Examines how the financial and organizational challenges of adopting new methods of fighting wars can influence the international balance of power. The author argues that a state or actor wishing to adopt a military innovation must possess both the financial resources to buy or build the technology and the internal organizational capacity to accommodate any necessary changes in recruiting, training, or operations. How countries react to new innovations-- and to other actors that do or don't adopt them-- has profound implications for the global order and the likelihood of war. The book looks at some of the most important military innovations throughout history, including the advent of the all-big-gun steel battleship, the development of aircraft carriers and nuclear weapons, and the use of suicide terror by nonstate actors. He shows how expensive innovations can favor wealthier, more powerful countries, but also how those same states often stumble when facing organizationally complicated innovations. Innovations requiring major upheavals in doctrine and organization can disadvantage the wealthiest states due to their bureaucratic inflexibility and weight the balance of power toward smaller and more nimble actors, making conflict more likely. This book provides vital insights into military innovations and their impact on U.S. foreign policy, warfare, and the distribution of power in the international system.

Fannie and Freddie should be shuttered. Their corporate ownership should be subjected to the Enron treatment, and their assets should be auctioned off to private mortgage guarantors. Also, the Fed's complicity in this affair needs to be made well known, especially the role of one former Fed chairman who encouraged the use of subprime mortgages in the early 2000s. In hindsight, his statements look like desperate attempts to minimize the adverse effects of his post-9/11 monetary policies and shield himself and the political establishment from the backlash that rightly follows periods of monetary inflation. FULL ARTICLE
How Fannie and Freddie Made Me a Grumpy Economist
{ 18 comments }
- July 21, 2008 at 8:44 am
I hate to admit it, but economic history has made me grumpy, too. It's inevitable. After econ 101, the first thing anyone should learn is economic history. But econ history is a double edges sword: once you learn it, you will see that we have been fighting the same battles and making the same mistakes for about 400 years. The old prophet of Ecclesiastes was correct, "There is nothing new under the sun,†especially where econ is concerned. The US has been marching toward greater socialism for at least the past century, ever since we ceased to be a republic and became a democracy. Every disaster and economic problems is seen as an opportunity for greater state control.
- July 21, 2008 at 8:56 am
I just finished reading Hayek's 1970 article "Can We Still Avoid Inflation." If some newpaper published it as an editorial, no one would doubt that it was written yesterday and refers to the current crisis. The mainstream econ and politicians haven't learned a thing in the past 40 years.
- July 21, 2008 at 9:26 am
Christopher Westley, Very Good article and almost all needed bases were correctly covered, even the future was correctly put forward.
However you failed to mention the fundamental cause of the problems of Big and Bigger government in our future.
We must face the fact that Government operates on an Ethic. An Ethic that is accepted by the public at large. That Ethic is the Judeo-Christian Ethics of Self-Sacrifice.
Why do you think the word 'Sacrifice' is so often used by our present President and Politicians at large?
Sacrifice of the competent to the incompetent, Sacrifice of the productive to the unproductive. Sacrifice of the responsible to the irresponsible etc.
These issues are never discussed and we therefore will continue on this path of thievery through legislation..The public in general will eat it up and they will never know the real cause of their problems….let us pray.

Good for radio? By Cromm! Why couldn't you have been on NPR, where all I ever hear is whining sycophants desperate for their government bail-out?
"Oh woe, it's another market failure! Quick, the people need HELP! Send in the GOVERNMENT!"
- July 21, 2008 at 10:01 am
Regarding Matt's comment, I would think it would be more accurate to say that the "ethics" behind our current system are:
a) Everyone feels entitled to receive something for nothing from the government, even if that "something" has to be forcibly taken from others by that government.
b) Everyone wants the government to somehow take upon itself all the risk involved in their risky behaviors, allowing them to profit when the coin comes up heads but not suffer anything when the coin comes up tails.
These concepts are indicative of the systemic laziness, envy, covetousness, short-sightedness, and irresponsibility so prevalent in our current culture. Judeo-Christian ethics are characterized by a responsible work ethic, self-reliance, and *voluntary* (not government-coerced) charity to those in actual need due to circumstances beyond their control.
There was a time in this country in which receiving any kind of handout from the government (or even private sources) was considered shameful. Now, individuals and businesses practically climb over each other to get in line for the latest handout or bailout with no thought as to from where that money might be coming.
- July 21, 2008 at 10:44 am
When it comes to econ, I don't think there is a Judeo-Christian ethic. There always has been a split among churches on what constitutes a Christian ethic with regards to economics. The Catholic scholastics of the 16th century identified with laissez-faire, but the general population of priests and bishops didn't. In the mostly Protestant Dutch Republic, Calvinists sided with the majority of Catholics who insisted on state/church control of commerce. That's why Weber's thesis that capitalism came from Calvinism is ironic. Calvin and Calvinists have never liked free markets. Fortunately for the Dutch, the Erasmian Christians held to the laissez-faire position of the Catholic scholastics as a result of the influence of the Dutch scholastic Lessius. And the Erasmians held most of the positions in government during the formative years.
Laissez-faire was the Protestant position in the US until the late 19th century when mainstream Protestants began to abandon the Bible and adopt Marxist economics. Today, most Protestants endorse some form of socialism while Catholics have become much friendlier toward laissez-faire. Laissez-faire is the only economics consistent with the Bible if you use sound hermeneutics. But sound hermeneutics is as popular as a gold money standard.

Low housing prices are a double-edged sword: bad for owners, good for borrowers. However, it's not quite as bad for owners as we make it out to be. If you bought a $600K home, and now it's worth $300K: that sucks. How much does it suck? Depends. Can you afford your mortgage payments? Are you planning on moving? If you can afford the mortgage, and you don't HAVE to move, then your immediate financial situation is unaffected. If you were banking on selling your home for $1.2M, and retiring on the proceeds, and you have no other sources of revenue in your retirement, then you've got a problem.
In my case, I bought a townhouse for $150K. I put some work into it, so I might be able to get $140K. OH NO! I'm going to lose $10K on the sale! What a waste! Well, not really. My townhouse may have dropped in price by $10K, but 3 and 4 bedrooms houses have dropped $50K – $100K. So, if the housing market had never crashed, I could have netted $0, then spent an extra $50K to get into a bigger home. Today, I lost $10K, but will save $50K on my next purchase. At the end of the day, the housing crash will make me about $90K better off.
Every situation is different. Those that suffer the most are those that were able to afford $500K+ homes. You can expect a lot of crocodile tears for people that can afford $500K+ homes.

"Today, most Protestants endorse some form of socialism while Catholics have become much friendlier toward laissez-faire."
I suppose this may be the case, if we consider voting for the Republican Party as being "friendly" towards laissez-faire economics. Catholics are much more likely to vote for a Republican today than they were 40 years ago.
The problem is: the Republican Party does not, nor has ever, supported laissez-faire economics; nor do the vast majority of Americans, Catholic or otherwise (I don't know for a fact, but I would put the figure right around 98%). American Catholics, as they have gone from the lower middle class to the upper middle class (as a result of most American Catholics being from the North, with better public, and more prevalent private, schools), have left the Democrat Party, which has become the party of the inner city, the Black Southerner, and the Midwestern farmer.
I maintain that a large majority of the Catholic population in America (98%?) are politically, economically, and morally no different than their Protestant neighbors.
- July 21, 2008 at 12:06 pm
Patrick: "I suppose this may be the case, if we consider voting for the Republican Party as being "friendly" towards laissez-faire economics."
I don't consider the Republican party to be friendly toward laissez-faire. They're socialist-lite.
I was referring to Protestant theologians, pastors and leadership as being socialist. The leadership actually teaches socialism as being "Christian economics." Like Protestants, I would guess that Catholics were attracted to the Republican party for its conservative social policies. They were willing to tolerate the free market talk of Republicans as long as Republicans didn't try to implement their talk. With social issues no longer topping the political agenda, two things have happened: 1) Many Republican Protestants and Catholics are going back to their socialist friends in the Democrat party and 2) Republicans are becoming even more socialist in an attempt to hang on to the defectors.
- July 21, 2008 at 1:07 pm
I think that the only thing good you can say about how republicans have been conducting themselves is that they will collapse the system less fast. I wonder if most people just aren't thinking about what their positions actually mean. I find myself teaching my children that when they're hearing an idea that they have to follow the implication of that idea and see where it leads. I've talked to so many people who think they want universal healthcare who, when I mention that they will lose the ability to choose who they want to be their provider, hadn't considered that or just outright don't believe it.
Maybe what voldamort said is true (in Harry Potter), "there is no right and wrong, there is only power!" Perhaps that's where we are today, putting your person in power is more important than any issue. It's more important than justice, it's more important than freedom.
- July 21, 2008 at 2:39 pm
I 100% agree with Matt and have tried to drive that point home before. It usually falls on deaf ears.
- July 21, 2008 at 3:04 pm
"Maybe what voldamort said is true (in Harry Potter), "there is no right and wrong, there is only power!""
As long as people accept the idea that there is a final human authority, or a final authority within reality that governs them (outside of the individual himself), an idea reinforced from the very early stages of compulsory schooling and/or "divine right", then yes. It seems most people will find that this (false) final authority (the state) is using its power to remake right and wrong in whichever way they wish as perfectly acceptable.
It's just getting worse since the government has been completely out of touch with economic reality, and they will force us bow before Fannie and Freddie, oh and the Fed, and worship their incompetencies.
- July 21, 2008 at 3:53 pm
goodebate: "Maybe what voldamort said is true (in Harry Potter), "there is no right and wrong, there is only power!"
Don't get sucked into the postmodern black hole. Its gravitational attraction is great right now because it's so popular and hammered into your head on TV and in motion pictures. But remember that the whole postmodernism package include the denial of truth, love, and reason in addition to the denial of right and wrong. Follow reason and you'll find truth. Don't let postmodernism convince you that the only reality is the brick wall you can bash your head against.
- July 21, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Chris – you're not the only!
Even Robert Reich and Paul Krugman, of all people, are getting this right!
Reich complains of privatized profits and socialized losses, and unconscionable executive compensation – he falls short of identifying the offending parties as former Clinton Administration hacks.
Krugman exposes the circulating canard that Fannie and Freddy's woes are caused by subprime mortgages, making loans to people with poor credit, adjustable rate loans resetting etc., since Fannie and Freddy, by definition, only made conforming fixed-rate loans. Most California mortgages are Jumbo (non-conforming) loans. So, if we need to figure out why Fannie and Freddy got into trouble we need to look elsewhere.
Try over-leveraged, under-capitalized, illiquid, and badly-managed?
- July 21, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Then why do you see coercion and decline in the belief in a final authority step together in the same direction?
- July 22, 2008 at 12:45 am
"Then why do you see coercion and decline in the belief in a final authority step together in the same direction?"
Because the final authority most people unquestioningly follow these days is not the final authority that TRANSCENDS reality, or the God of Christianity (or any of the other great religions for that matter), but instead most people follow a final HUMAN Authority or final authority WITHIN reality (Scientism, the belief of the absolute explanatory power of the sciences, a group of people who are the "moral guardians" of society, nihilistic denial, etc.) which can and often do often deny the absolute sanctity of the human spirit.
I'm not saying that accepting that a final authority exists is false or will lead to coercion, I'm saying that accepting that a human, or a group of humans given or appointed to a certain status, is the final authority consciously or unconsciously will bring about big trouble.
If you accept that some human or humans are the final authority of your reality, then it's almost inevitable to believe that some humans, somewhere, are infinitely superior to you. Would that not justify at least some sorts of coercion against you? Why would there be any justification of liberty for you?
To quote Mises:
"This is the difference between slavery and freedom. The slave must do what his superior orders him to do, but the free citizen, and this is what freedom means, is in a position to choose his own way of life."
On the other hand, would accepting that God, or at the very least no other human or thing WITHIN reality, is the final authority over you, ever justify coercion against you from other human beings? Would you instead be inclined to accept that between humans, there is actually an equality of authority?
I also recommend this http://mises.org/daily/804
- July 22, 2008 at 1:17 am
The 'there should be no such thing as a final arbitrator' makes me wonder why can't a criminal in a anarcho-Libertarian rely on an lengthy appeal way of avoiding punishment? (as Mr Burns was doing in the first futurist episode of The Simpsons) Or, maybe, an appeal to moral relativism – 'it's your laws not mine!'? But the criminal should act nice and moral and submit himself to the private police and private jails? Then again he was that moral he wouldn't have committed the crime in the first place.
- July 22, 2008 at 10:40 pm
To "TLWP Sam" :
I believe that humans don't react well to 'punishment' and so I think in a truly free world it would be a lack of carrot vs the rod being used as incentive for 'good behavior.' Basically if you don't fulfill your end of the contract, you won't get paid, or the person whom you cause loss to will be renumerated by an insurance policy you have. Appeal all you want to your insurance company about the loss paid that is on your record – but the definitions of when they pay out are clear in the contract you'd have signed. In then end, the victim is made whole, and the perpetrator thinks how they will avoid a future episode when the premium goes up.

The Kids Stay in the Picture
The prints represent two years of work from Youthlight, an after-school program started in November 2001 by Marshall Clarke. The 32-year-old Towson native and freelance photographer had already taught basic photography to kids as a tool to promote social justice through the American Friends Service Committee, but he says he wanted to expand that work. A grant from the Open Society Institute provided the funding. His connections as a adult-literacy tutor at the Learning Bank in Southwest Baltimore provided an avenue into working with kids in that neighborhood; the program expanded to include Hampden after Clarke, who often hangs out in the area, says he "always saw kids around, seemingly doing nothing."
Clarke and his assistants (including City Paper contributing photographers Uli Loskot and Frank Klein) handed out inexpensive point-and-shoot cameras to about 25 kids and taught them the basics of photography and darkroom techniques. In addition, Clarke says, they also taught media literacy: "Looking at media critically," he says, "figuring out what questions to ask: Who makes it? What are they trying to sell me, or how are they trying to influence me? What information is missing from the media that they're getting?"
Armed with Clarke and company's instruction, the Youthlight participants "made their own media," Clarke says. The students were set to work brainstorming, designing, and shooting public-service billboards to go up in their neighborhoods with messages ranging from discouraging crime and littering to encouraging young people to work toward their dreams. Clarke has also arranged several Youthlight exhibits, including at community centers in each neighborhood and a show at Remington's Angelfall Studios Gallery opening on Nov. 26.
Just as much as the program might help prepare budding artists for a career, Clarke underscores that Youthlight has more to offer the kids who participate than knowing the difference between an F-stop and a bus stop. "Certain kids have a lot of problems, so they're pulled in a lot of directions," he says. "I think photography gives them a way to focus their attention, give them something to do, but also something to be positive about."
Youthlight has already run through its Open Society grant money, and is continuing at least through the end of the current school year with the help of grants from Time Warner, the Maryland Arts Council (via the Hampden Family Center), and the Baltimore Community Foundation (via the House of Mercy). As witnessed on the following pages, it has already succeeded in creating a striking portrait of Baltimore as seen through unlikely eyes. Clarke says that while the program has made an impact on the lives of the kids involved, the billboards and exhibits have also made an important impression on some key grownups as well.
"In Hampden, I think there's a lot of tension between some of the adults and some of the kids," Clarke says. "Some of the adults think the kids don't do much, they just hang around. At the exhibits I've heard feedback from people saying, 'I can't believe these are kids from Hampden who have done this.' So I think it's on some level helping show the adults what the kids are capable of, and that if you give them something positive to do, they can really step up to the plate and do something."

Tired of Using Steroids on Kitty
By mrsrommel
from Scranton, PA
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Newton Homeopathics Cough - Asthma:
My 7-year-old kitty Leslie was diagnosed with asthma and has been receiving Depo-Medrol steroids shots almost every 8 weeks, in addition to using an inhaled bronchodilator. She would be fine for about 4 weeks after the steroid injection but her symptoms would slowly but surely return. By the end of 8 weeks, she had no interest in eating, playing, and was absolutely miserable and the vet did not want to give her more frequent injections because of the obvious side effects; therefore she was stuck using just the bronchodilator, which really was not providing her with a lot of relief. When I saw this product I thought it was worth a try, especially when there were so many other positive reviews. I must tell you that Leslie has been on these drops for just 2.5 weeks and she has made an incredible improvement. She is down to using her inhaler only once a day (at night) and takes 3 drops twice a day. She is eating regularly, playing, and is her old self. Before I started these drops, I thought she was ready for another steroid injection but, at this point, I see no reason for her to have a shot. I would definitely recommend trying these drops. They have made a remarkable improvement in her condition. When she has breakthrough coughing, I give her a couple of drops (as recommended in the instructions) and she clears up within a matter of minutes. I will be purchasing these drops in the future.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great product-SAVED my 19 year old cat
By Cheryl
from Breinigsville, PA
Pebbles is 19 yrs old and a terrific pet friend. I hated the thought of giving her hard medicine, or putting her down. But her coughing was getting worse and she was getting weaker. I was going to loose her. So I went in search of a gentle solution. I researched the natural solution and decided to try Cough-Asthma. Lack of funds kept me from overnight shipping and by the time I got the product, I thought it was too late She could hardly move around. I promised her 24 hours before I did what was necessary. There was an immediate improvement! Coughing stopped! She began to eat and move around. I nursed her with gentleness, love and this product! Thank you for my extra time with her! Great product! I waited to see how she got before writing this review. She is going strong
I am buying this product again
By Texas kitty
from Kerrville, TX
I first used these drops for my female cat who is gentle but she seemed to struggle with me as I administered the drops by mouth. I decided to add them to her water(in a bowl) instead. The results are wonderful!! She drinks like normal and she is much more energetic because she can breathe much easier. She no longer continues to cough throughout the day.
probably wouldn't buy again

Didn't help my cats low grade asthma at all..

"BEST" Asthma med ever!
By amaurine
from las vegas nv
the best asthma med I have ever found for my cat. I only have to give it to my him once a day. it takes just a few drops and it has no taste so it is easy to give. I highly recommend this product it works! :)
Better than steroids!
By Karen
from Vancouver, WA
My cat Amy has been on steroid shots for several years. Sure it cleared her airways, but not for more than 2 months, then back to the vet for another shot. She was gaining weight and didn't feel like even moving around. Since using this product (it's been almost 4 weeks) she has lost weight and even feels like running and playing. She still has coughing spells, but I give her the drops in some tuna and she immediately begins to feel better. I know it's not a cure, but it's so much better than the alternative!
didn't help
By irina
from long island, NY
Unfortunately it didn't help my cat at all.
Try it - it works!

About Me New Pet Owner
Barnaby is my foster cat. He had ongoing and very violent caughing attacks. They were so severe, that I was worried about him dying. He would get these attacks up to 2-3 in a row, every day! Sometimes he woke up at night caughing. I thought it was a hairball problem, so did his previors foster parents. I took him to the vet, who took x-rays and did blood and urine tests. The x-rays showed that he had asthma. Barnaby was prescribed antibiotics and something to 'expand his breathing canals'. These products were extremely messy, and difficult to administer, when added to food- he stopped eating his food. His attacks became more severe, sounded more violent and he was always tired. An hour prior to our second vet visit, I came across this natural product, and ordered it immediately, with overnight shipping. I cancelled the appointment with the vet. I did not go to work the next day, to make sure I do not miss the delivery guy. Since Barnaby started taking this product, I only witnessed 2 very mild asthma attacks. I give him about 2 drops a day adding it to olive oil. This works like magic- try it!
Instead of Steroids for Asthmatic Kitty
By Jessica
from Chicago, IL
My cat Gomez, at only 3 years old diagnosed with asthma (short of breath, coughing, lathargic). To my despair he was put on steroids which helped little, he got fat and lazier/depressed. Thank God I found this Cough-Asthma liquid. Gomez has been on it for 2 years (when his asthma flairs up). Just use an eye dropper or syringe with 3-5 drops of the tincture (follow instructions) mixed with a few drops of "pure" water and put it in kitty's mouth (NOT in food, reduces efficacy). Kitty felt better immediately. He's much happier now, no more coughing/gasping for breath, has lost weight, playing again. Steroids are BAD for humans AND animals, this is much, much cheaper AND kitty does much better on it! I'm speaking for my pet of course, I hope it works great for your cat or dog too. Note: Sometimes natural remedies can take a bit longer to work initially, and you may need to use this along with your Vet prescribed meds (steroids) until your pet stabilizes on just the natural remedy. Your Vet will most likely NOT support using this because they want to write scripts and make $$, but this product has been miraculous and MUCH more effective for my loveable, sweet Gomez. Good luck!

As families entered Peninsula Heritage School's campus on a recent Sunday for this year's Harvest Fair, they were amazed at the transformation the parent volunteers had created. Overnight, the school campus became a slice of a major amusement park, offering giant rides, games, Tommy's Burger lunches, and delicious treats from the Country Kitchen. Thanks to event Co-Chairs, Christine Pearson and Cindy Waldman, the leadership of the Waldman family and 15/40 Productions Ltd., and the talents and generosity of many members of the Peninsula Heritage community, children of all ages enjoyed a fantastic day of fun and friendship. Proceeds from the event are used to help fund the school's arts and science programs.

Advice Please for Sorting Suspension

iTrader: (
I as well have been trying to figure out why the heck my 09 135i bounces all over the road. I'm coming from a full race suspension on a G35; that thing had a good amount of over-steer but overall it handled like it was on rails! When I'm semi hard in a turn with the 1'er and I hit a bump, even though the a$$ end feels like it's going to kick out, it always drops right back in place. The car is well balanced! My first attempt to fix this is a set of H&R springs which I just ordered yesterday. I also came across some tie bars on ebay. I know it's ebay but their function its what I'm concerned about, and for 130 bucks they're disposable. Having dealt with suspension and only suspension for the last 4 years I think the fix will be:
Semi thicker sway bar - Just to stiffen things up a bit, but now too much as the car doesn't have sway issues when not under load.
End Links - To accurately adjust pre-load on the thicker sway bars.
Springs - I agree with everyone on this... Linear over Progressive (unless you drive a 128, in which you should shoot yourself) ;-)
Rear tie bar, rear strut tower bar...
All of these should square all of the issues that most people are complaining about... I'll continue to post as I add these devices.

Available to buy: your own frakkin' 7ft Cylon
If you're a really, really big fan of the recent reinterpretation of Battlestar Galactica and have $8000 not doing anything, you could invest in your very own 7ft-tall Cylon Centurion. According to Sideshow Collectibles, each one is hand-built by a gentleman called Fred Barton of Fred Barton Productions, Los Angeles. And it's …
Missing a trick
Give me a life sized model of Tricia Helfer instead and I'll consider it ;o)
Best sci-fi since Babylon 5? You won't get any arguments from me. I had no idea you guys at the Reg had such good taste. I have to admit, Firefly came close though; I hope you know what you're doing, mobilising such an army of rabid fanbois on your comments section...
Please can we use the British name on British domains? 'Aluminium' PLEASE!
Robot love
What's the articulation like? Does it just stand there? I'm sure there's a market for some kind of robot love doll, especially in Japan, where there are so many lonely robots. Given that this is a Cylon, it would be a robot S&M dominatrix, with a laser whip etc.
Fleshy Cylons
I don't fancy one of those, but if he can make a 7ft replica of the more fleshy cylons (blonde maybe?), I could be interested................
Nice but
Couldn't we have one of the female "skin jobs"? Surly that'd sell better.
I'd also like to know what the current "mid-season" break is all about on Sky? How can it be mid-season when we're going to have to wait a year for the next one. It's been a good series but I'm beginning to feel they're just dragging it out now.
"Go on, argue it, you know you want to..."
Must... resist Geek... Urges.... Firefly was better... Noooooooooo.....
Any other options?
I want a life size replicate of Grace Park
Best coatrack ever!
A comment is required, in addition to a title.
Shipping costs
When will they offer a self delivery option?
@AC Aluminum
Good catch but remember it's a freking yank site they're quoting from.
I want one that moves. Ability to kill would also be impressive.
Someone elses acting ability is as stiff as a robot - guess who ?
Babylon 5
No doubt Bab5 was an excellent sci-fi show but BSG is the best show of any kind on TV in the last 20 years. I'm a huge Star Trek fan (no i don't have any paraphenalia, but i do have a purple lightsabre, go figure!) have seen all of NG, DS9, Voyager and the abomination that was Enterprise and i can name precisely 4 episodes of all that Trek (Best of Both Worlds, Way of the Warrior, All Good Things, Sacrifice of Angels) that comes anywhere near the quality oozing from every BSG episode to date.
Mine's the frakking jumpsuit with bits of frakking toaster stuck to it.
No Chance
Firefly all the way baby
Best since Babylon 5?
Absofrakkinloutely it is. Although Stargate SG1 would have to get a mention, although I consider that a slightly different genre...
I see it
"aluminium" copied straight from the screen -- I don't see the 'merkin version.
Best Sci-Fi since B5?
It has it's moments, but it also has weeks and weeks of just talking. It's as bad as ST:TNG at times. I finally got around to catching up on my backlog, and watched 3 episodes in an hour, skipping all the talking and moping, and still following the story.
"Let's have them all mope around, being really depressed, and it'll make really good TV" - well, I suppose it works for Eastenders
By your command...
aluminum -> aluminium
Best SF since B5?
Bollox to all this yankee 'sci-fi' cod-philosophy... Bring Back Blake!
I don't get it
The robot looks cool, but battlestar in it's new incarnation was pants. Is pants. Only problem is I can't think of anything that is better since B5. They have all panned or been cancelled before getting good.
Though you did word it correctly, "...best SINCE B5". So I don't need to remove you from my bookmarks...
Last time I checked, BSG had turned into a legal drama. Why are Americans so obsessed with lawyers? Just give us some shoot-outs with robots, that's what everyone sane wants!
Data or Pris Realdoll
Hmm, for that kind of money, I think I'll wait till AI Robotics (makers of Lisa 'The Perfect Woman') team up with Realdoll to create a 'fully functional and anatomically correct' robot. Now my bisexual tendencies can't decide between a Data from Startrek or a Pris from Bladerunner...
...one thing is for sure, the future of robotics is going to get interesting!
I expect someone on here is going to want a Paris android...
Like the T-Shirt says
(or used to say) Joss Whedon is my master now
Sci-Fi shows in descending order of quality:
- Firefly
- Stargate SG1/Atlantis
- Buck Rogers
- the original Battlestar Galactica
- blakes 7
- space 1999
- ufo
- thunderbirds
- Joe 90
- the star wars kid on you-tube
- someone recording someone else playing lego starwars on a console with a camera phone
- something else vaguely sci-fi but really bad that I can't think of
for that money
it better serve as a security system
death by my command:)
as for good, yeah it is good, no series is perfect, sometimes an episode will hit like a Pangalactic gurgleblaster.
Star trek had that after a fashion some of the earlier NG and DS9 ones were wooden, badly written. NG became great when they started to add depth to the klingons and introduced Q (not the borg), enterprice actually had a decent last season.
Bab 5, ahhh season 2 and 3 had some of the best material around, first show to leave the "all aliens are bipedal" mold, the shadowwar, lorien's speech about time, and who could not feel sorry for sheridan every time that kosh said something so weird that discussions still rage today
Too right Tony
These younguns don't know what they're missing. Servalan, Avon, Orac and Servalan! :-D
@Anonymous Coward
Much as I hate to defend the yanks - according to a chemist friend of mine, "Aluminum" is technically more correct.
Sod it, burn all yanks, and lets (for once) be the side that defends using the 'wrong' word. Makes a pleasant change.
(Yay for B5, and if BSG has stopped using that abomination of shaky cam, maybe I'll give it another try)
Yes yes, war on terror, invasions, torture et al I can take no problem.
Just not the abuse of the English language.
Americans, learn to spell correctly, it rightly pisses me off.
Color is another one, or vacation, the list goes on...
Good man Tony for fixing that one :-)
only $7000?
so change left over for a weekend in NYC from a coupla grand then?
@Best SF since B5?
ohhh wow two Icons! cool
Ahh blake and his orac... otherwise known as a box made out of windows....(spooky-wierd!)
(I did like the orac3 on bit tech though nice mod!)
oops my age is showing.
@Tony - Blake
Ask, and ye shall receive:
"On 24 April 2008, Sky One announced that they had commissioned two 60-minute scripts for a potential series, working alongside Blake's 7 Productions, a subsidiary of Blake's 7 Media who owns the licence to the show" - wikipedia
Re:Best SF since B5?
Well, they resurrected the Doctor, so maybe.....
The big question is, who to play Servalan?
As to BSG. Pah! A political soap opera in space. More sci-fi in Bob the Builder.
The description doesn't state whether the inhibitor has been removed or not.
If it's higher level cognitive functions are not inhibited it could decide to turn on it's owner!
@ Robot Love
Never mind articulation, the question is: does it do nice even golden brown toast?
@AC & Spelling
Oddly the merkins believe it is better to have tried and failed than to have not tried at all... consequently an attempt to spell correctly is better than not attempting to use words at all... so bravo well done.. you tried. In the same vain getting it wrong in Iraq was better than not doing anything! Oh and locking up an inocent man is better than not locking up anyone.
and heres some new Merkin corruptions...
Soldering is now pronounced 'sodering'
a bot (as in robot) is pronounced 'bolt'
As good as B5, TNG and DS9 were, the best is...
Space: Above and Beyond.
Halo owes much to that show. Except 'Who Watches the Birds', that was a bad episode.
Move out 5 8.
BSG has gone down hill
Series 1: Excellent
Series 2: OK
Series 3: Erm, it's watchable at the end...
I couldn't care less about their legal system, mystical visions and who gets to wear the President's Hat this week. Where did the firefights, nukes and firing solutions go?
B5's FTW.
@ Chinzo
The "quality oozing from every BSG episode to date"? Every episode... even that god-awful one with the boxing match?
@ Tony Smith
You really want Blake back? I can't imagine the resurrected show's going to be up to much without Paul Darrow as Avon. Still, I'll keep an open mind - even if it is Sky One!
@ Graham Wood
Maybe your chemist friend should have a word with the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
Yes, it was originally called aluminum, but that was obviously wrong so it was changed - why does Al have to be different from Ga, In and Tl? Then some time in the twenties the American Chemistry Society threw a tantrum and said they wanted to spell it differently.
IUPAC recognises aluminum as an "acceptable variant" which means, "We don't like it, we know you won't change it, so we'll pretend that we're allowing you to do it".
I just don't know why the merkins can't get some consistency in their vowel hatred. Shouldn't they have called it aluminim?
Bake is back
and he's not happy as he was quite enjoying the retirment home :-)
Seriously though, I hope Sky go ahead with the new show.
writers' strike maybe?
@Ian Ferguson
The idea of the courtroom drama was to draw parallels with current(ish) events in the real world ; with Dr. Balthar (probably misspelled, not enough geek-fu, so shoot me) as Saddam (at least according to a recent interview with him (ok, his actor) in The Onion's AV Club).*
That's what good sci-fi does, though - uses it's fantasy setting to give a different perspective to real-world issues (ie. how do you fight an enemy that looks just like you).
* nested parenthesis in a comment? - yeah, I went *there* baby.
@James Dyer - Re Blake
Oh dear, you should be banned from the register for total disloyalty in quoting the beeb when it was covered on El Reg...
Oh dear oh dear.... Centurion, take him away and throw him out an airlock.
Wrong Model
I'd rather have a pair of sixes; and I ain't playin' cards.
As Tim Bisley would say...
Babylon 5's a big pile of shit!
Yes, bring back Blake's 7. Hopefully with Paul Darrow set later, obviously.
Also, Stargate rules. Doctor Who almost does, but it's tainted by the musical theatre crowd (constant stupid background music). And yes, by that I probably do mean wotsisname. Hopefully someone will take over and make it better. Saying that, some of them have been superb.
Cool Cylon, but I'd rather have one of the old ones. Do they still blow up when you switch on a microwave next to them? Never watched much of the new series, I've tried, but as someone said, it's a political soap in space, with loads of post 9/11 bullshit.
@ the AC having a poke at Ian Ferguson
***"That's what good sci-fi does, though - uses it's fantasy setting to give a different perspective to real-world issues (ie. how do you fight an enemy that looks just like you)."***
Nooo, that's what lazy writers do. They take real world events and change the names and locations. It saves having to think up a decent story yourself. And that fully sums up BSG.
Good sci-fi writers create entire worlds, physics, biology, belief systems and political systems from scratch and then mould a compelling and original story around that.
Babylon 5 was a bag of shite. Total bag of shite. Shite idea, shite script, shite acting.
"...Last best hope..." Shite.
Shite. Shite. Shite.
@AC & Parax
I think i will stick to Battle Of The Planets thank you very much
( now who's showing his age lol )
I think....
...an honourable mention must go to Farscape, surely?
Yeah, yeah, the whole Buck Rogers thing (which was pants anyway IMHO), but Farscape did it much better, funnier, good scripts, great special effects and with some truly horrifying characters. I mean, Scorpius? C'mon!
Another great Skiffy show killed off by the networks....*sigh*
@Andy G
Ok, if you want to be silly, I see your Battle of the Planets and raise you....Starfleet.
"What is the secret of F-01?"
Best entertainment ever when nursing a stonking student hangover on Saturday morning. We always assumed that we couldn't understand it because the plot was too complicated to follow while wrecked. It never occurred to us that it was aimed at kids and was just blatantly vague and inconsistant.
Sometime later, when the dust had settled and life had assumed a semblance of normality, Brian May and Eddie Van Halen recorded Brian's version of the theme music together. Best guitar battle ever pressed to vinyl IMHO.
Without Babylon 5
There wouldn't have been the new BSG. It borrows heavily from SF storytelling principles which B5 pioneered.
This vulture has been pecked to death by cats.

Superfeet BLUE Insoles 65 65
Really good for aching feet. I have been plagued by my feet for a couple of years. I tried the green version of this product a couple of years ago and no real help. The sales person when I bought a new pair of sneakers advised me to try the blue ones if I thought I had a low arch. I tried them (thanks to your warrenty), and they have given me unbelievable comfort. In fact I bought two more sets for my other shoes. November 11, 2014
No cushioning I was looking for a cushion sole for my boots which have none. Great arch support but no cushioning. Tried them for three days before I returned them for another brand November 11, 2014
Good product pleased with product, comfort to wear and fits in most of my shoes. October 29, 2014
Support This is a great product. My feet pronate and I have flat feet. This gives me great support for walking and running. October 9, 2014
Feet feel much better! This product was for my son and was recommended by his physical therapist/orthopedic doctor to purchase these product. My son says he feet fell much better and it has taken a lot of pressure off his knees. October 5, 2014
good support doctor recommended an insole for my daughter due to a foot problem. She seems to like them very much but I do think the price was a bit steep hence 4 stars September 16, 2014
Comfortable superfeet insoles This is my second pair of Superfeet insoles. They fit right into my sneakers and I don't even know they're there. They provide support so my ankles don't hurt. I can be on my feet for a long time as long as I have my Superfeet insoles! I had my old ones for many years - they last a long time. September 6, 2014
I had high hopes The arch support itself is not supported so it breaks done during the gait cycle. September 2, 2014
Took them back They didn't work for my feet at all. The support hit the heel instead of the arch. August 26, 2014
