exactly, but i think most of it should be over disney. they could fly over castaway cay (disneys private island) and the cruise ships.
First of all, the reason for the filming over California is because that is where Disney first introduced the ride. Second...and don't get me wrong....I am a native Floridian and will never live anywhere else...but as far as a hang gliding site, all we have is the beach. That's it. California has a variety of geographical topographies that are each so amazingly beautiful and unique, why not "fly" over it? And last, but most certainly not least, I am slightly less than annoyed with the attitudes of this thread from some of the Disney "fanatics". You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time.....not everyone is going to enjoy every ride/movie/character etc. However, one should realize and appreciate the phenomalism Disney puts into ANYTHING and EVERYTHING they do, going above and beyond expectation each and every time. It takes a team of men and women (imagineers, cm's etc) to produce and continue just one man's dream. And that, my friend's, is what's so great...not just about Soarin'....but about everything that is honorable enough to bear the Walt Disney name.
how old is the map? because i'm also looking at one and it says "thrill"
im looking at the one that i just got 2 weeks ago
oh. im looking at one from almost a year ago. so they must of updated it.
oh and i like 'soarin, i too had a fastpass on a crowded day, and whooo boy it would have stunk being in THAT line, i feel fastpass is vital to that ride, but i love the airport feel it has.:sun:
I think soarin' was pretty thrilling for me. I was so afraid, seriously. My sister who loves thrill rides was also scared. I guess it depends on what thrills you. I think its an awesome ride just the way it is, and although I am scared I would do it again.
I think they should go with a Soarin over America Theme, end up over the Statue of Liberty, Start DisneyLand, Grand canyon etc.
Well, I love this attraction!!! I first rode it in California Adventure and went on it about 3 times or more. They have a single rider line that is great if you don't mind being split up with the rest of your party or stand in line if you don't have fastpasses. The music is great and I love the smells and sounds of the whole film. The feeling of flying is great. I wouldn't necessarily categorize it as a thrill ride, but it's one of my favorite rides.
i have to admit the music is very cool.
Love the whole thing - except the long line.
Cheapest simulator time I've ever bought! :thumbs:
Back on topic of Soarin' though. It's probably my favorite attraction at EPCOT. And perhaps not a thrill in the sense of scare the pants of you thrilling, but it is certainly a sensory thrill. I have to be impressed by any sort of attraction or show that takes advantage of as many of your five senses as is possible (yes, even Stitch's Great Mistake, which in it's original form of Alien Encounter was THE epitome of a sensory thrill attraction). Soarin' appeals to your sense of feel with motion and the wind in your face, and your smell with the scents introduced into the fans that create the wind, and to sound with it's musical score and ambient sound effects, and of course... sight. No explanation needed for that one. The only thing they can't directly impact is taste, but even then, by introducing us to the smell of oranges during the ride, a familiar scent and favorite fruit to just about everyone, it is only natural that we begin to imagine the taste of oranges, even if we aren't actually tasting one. Not that many attractions can lay claim to appealing to all the senses like that, and for that reason I do consider Soarin' a sensory thrill ride. Sure, you barely move, and you aren't doing anything scary... but your brain is taken on a thrill ride, even if your body doesn't really go very far.
Oh, and I have ridden that ride a couple of times with folks who don't care much for heights, and I assure you... for someone with a fear of heights, Soarin' is one heck of a thrill ride!

Class Actions: Life After Wal-Mart v. Dukes
July 7, 2011 - On-Line Webinar
View video of this workshop. 1 hr. 2 min.
View the Flyer
The Wal-Mart v. Dukes decision by the United States Supreme Court to deny class certification to the plaintiffs is a significant legal development. The court analyzed whether social science evidence and subjective decision making by individual managers may support the commonality requirements of Rule 23. The court also discusses whether back pay damages may be included Rule 23(b)(2). What does this mean for other class action suits? Is Wal-Mart unique in its facts? Can sociological and statistical analysis still be used to prove commonality or devise remedies? What does an individualized determination of back pay mean for class actions? Join our panel of experts to discuss how this landmark decision will affect class action discrimination lawsuits and the prospect of ending discrimination in the workplace.

This Is Forty
Another not-quite-a-sequel, Judd Apatow's fourth directorial effort focuses on the marriage of Pete and Debbie, the characters played by Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann in Knocked Up. While a few actors from Apatow's 2007 hit are returning — including Charlyne Yi, Jason Segel, and Apatow-Mann daughters Iris and Maude — the film also features a few high-profile newcomers to Apatovia, including Melissa McCarthy, Megan Fox, and Albert Brooks playing the part of Rudd's dad. Originally scheduled for a summer 2012 release, Universal pushed Forty to December 21 so that the studio's Snow White and the Huntsman can beat that other Snow White movie, the Tarsem-directed Mirror, Mirror, to market by a month.
Computer Chess
American indie film's most stalwart advocate for celluloid (he cut each of his previous, 16mm-shot features, Funny Ha Ha, Mutual Appreciation, and Beeswax, on an outdated flatbed machine), Andrew Bujalski is pulling a 180 with his next film. Computer Chess, a period piece set in 1980, was shot in Austin in September on modified video cameras from that era. Having partially crowd-sourced his financing through unitedstatesartists.org, Bujalski has been editing Chess this fall (yes, on a computer) with an eye toward a festival premiere in 2012.

I LOVE this product so much. I just purchased it recently due to great reviews. I wanted to buy myself something nice so I decided to splurge on MAC since I don't own very many of their products.
This is by far the best blush I own and I see myself using it almost daily. It works sooo wonderfully with my skin tone (and probably any skin tone for that matter). The blush is very pigmented so you only need a little bit on the brush to experience awesome results. The packaging is also really great. I don't mind that it does not come with a cheap applicator brush or a mirror.
I have never purchased a blush from MAC but this product has made such a good impression that I plan on purchasing again for sure.

I have used NARS blushes before but I wanted to try something different. I was hooked on my Kevin Aucoin Myracle color for a while too. But I heard raves about MAC blushes so I decided to purchase Fleur Power (love the name already). I have used FLeur Power for about 3 weeks already and I've used it everyday. The color is like a pinky peach color with no shimmer. It glides right on and definitely use a light hand. A little goes a long way. I think the syaing power is wonderful too. I can wear this at 8am and still have the blush on by 11pm. It's great and as others have said, it looks like you just came in from a cold, snowy day. Your cheeks will look beautiful. The packaging is simple and I really appreciate it. No frills. The quality is superb. It's finley milled and lots of pigmentation at its best. I think this color is universally flattering. Both on pale and darker skin girls.
For Reference: I'm NC30.

Short review:
Oh I love this so much! I use this blush pretty much every single day because it's just so pretty.This colour makes you look so sweet and so girly. I would recommend everyone buying this blush. It's just perfect :)

My Shade: NC25
Fleur Powers Shade: Coralish Medium Warm Pink
Finish: Satin
I don't know if I would repurchase this because I don't think I'll hit pan anytime soon!! But if I do ever hit pan, I would definitely repurchase. For 20 bucks, I got a blush that will last me years, guaranteed. This blush is so ridiculously pigmented that I only have to tap my brush into the pan, swirl, and buff on once to get the perfect flush of color. The finish on this looks more matte than satin to me. In direct sunlight, I don't see any sort of sheen on my skin.
Make sure that you blend really well with this blush as it could give you the dreaded race-stripe look that I see many girls sporting these days. *Shudder.* When applied correctly, this blush gives me a healthy pink glow, like I just came in from playing in the snow, only BETTER! :) This shade is comparable to Nars Amour, I hear. I don't own Nars blushes, so thats for you guys to find out! Either way, it's a cheaper alternative with assumably comparable quality if you're looking for more of an economic route. I know, 20 bucks sounds like a lot, but you're getting a whole lot of bang for your buck. I promise you this gorgeous blush will last ages!

I have tanned skin. At first, I decided to buy Pinch Me. Unfortunately,it was out of stock and and B.A. advised me to try Fleur Power instead. My impression is it suits well with my face. I might not buy this item again as I want to try as many colours as I am able to :)
In addition, it somewhat emphasizes my pore if I apply too much.
Beautiful slightly corally pink with a matte finish. Colour looks really nice with fair skin/ light eyes - gives that sort of cold weather rosy cheeked look.
Very pigmented, blends easily and is long lasting. Love it!
For a cheaper dupe, Boots No 7 in coral pink is almost identical in colour and finish, but doesn't have the same staying power.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was looking for a pinky/peach blush which wasn't too blue toned, or too bright orange. I came across this in MAC Norwich where Stacey helped me choose. It applies really well, and lasts a long time, I put mine on at 10am today and took my make up off at half 11(PM) and it was still there. The only problem I have is that there is a lot of loose product once you sweep the brush over it, quite annoying! I am NC35 and this shows beautifully, can be built up for a really bright look or toned down, and lasts a long time. I would recommend.

I scored this gem in a swap. Very pigmented, satin finish blush. A beautiful warm pink color, that provides the perfect flush of color. I'm very fair (NW20), so I need to use a light hand with this color. Will definately repurchase.
Very beautiful blush. Highly pigmented and can be blended to give the most beautiful flush of pink on the cheeks. I dont wear it as much during the summer since I find that it doesnt look as well on me when my skin tans. Will definatley use again in the cooler months.
This is my first Mac blush. I often breakout on my cheeks and it leaves a lot of redness, even on my brown (nc50) skin so I was hesitant to try blush in the first place. I had heard that I should get Ambering Rose and Sweet as Cocoa as a black girl so when I was at the Mac in Macys I was only looking at those two. The makeup artist asked me what i was looking for and I told him I wanted a natural peachy look and he instantly starting loading this blush on my face. It complemented my skin perfectly and even though he put it on heavy, I could tell that it would look nice lighter. I really love and recommend it. Plus theres no shimmer which is good if you want to use highlighter. Get it!

Rodman leaves NKorea without word if he met leader
Former basketball star Dennis Rodman left North Korea on Monday, but he plans to return next month -- even if a sponsor won't be with him.
Former basketball star Dennis Rodman left North Korea on Monday, but he plans to return next month -- even if a sponsor won't be with him.
Rodman's short visit was aimed at finalizing plans to bring 11 other former NBA players to Pyongyang for a Jan. 8 exhibition game marking Kim Jong Un's birthday. The two struck up a friendship when Rodman first traveled to the secretive state earlier this year, but Rodman did not answer questions from the media on whether he had met with Kim this time.
Rodman is the highest profile American to meet Kim since the leader inherited power from his father in late 2011.
He wants to bring the group of players to Pyongyang for the exhibition, but has acknowledged that some of the Americans have been reluctant to come. He held tryouts for the North Korean team during his visit, which began Thursday. He has said he expects to announce the U.S. roster soon, and that he is planning another game in June.
Later Monday, though, Irish betting company Paddy Power PLC -- a driving force behind the exhibition -- said it had cut ties with Rodman.
"Given changed circumstances, Paddy Power has decided to withdraw its association with the Dennis Rodman basketball initiative in North Korea," the company said in a statement.
Power explained his company's decision in an email to The Associated Press.
"This isn't a financial decision. We'll be honoring all our contractual commitments to Dennis and his team," he wrote. "We've reviewed the project, and with the benefit of hindsight, we've recognized we've got this one wrong.
"Because of this, we have decided to remove our name from the event."
Rodman declined to answer questions from reporters on his arrival at Beijing's airport if the two met on his latest visit. On Sunday night, though, he told The Associated Press that he had not yet had a meeting with Kim. He arrived in North Korea on Thursday, a week after North Korea announced the execution of Kim's once-powerful uncle, sparking speculation by foreign analysts over the future of the Kim regime.
Rodman's agent acknowledged Paddy Power's decision, and also said the game is on track despite the recent execution of Kim's uncle in a dramatic political purge.
"We've worked with Paddy Power on several occasions before and we respect their decision," Darren Prince said. "We'd like to thank them for all their solid work helping to make Dennis' dream of basketball diplomacy a reality."

T shirt Necklace

Want to make this fun necklace? Get to work cleaning your closets and save some old t-shirts and you will have "shopped" for all the supplies you will need. This thrifty jewelry craft will have all the moms wondering how you did it.
- 100% Cotton T-shirts
- Scissors
- Remove the hem from the bottom of your t-shirts, then cut 1 inch wide strips from the bottom of the shirts.
- I worked with 15 strips for this project, you can adjust this according to how thick you'd like the necklace to be. (The strips are actually rings since you are cutting the bottom through both layers.) You will eventually double these rings, so 15 strips turns into 30.
- Once you have cut all your strips, S-T-R-R-R-E-E-E-T-C-H each one. This will cause them to roll on the sides and elongate them to twice the length.
- After stretching, lay them one on top of the other. Try to stack with the seams together.
- Holding your rings with the seams in each hand, twist (in a figure 8 kind of shape) to double the rings. Now the seams from both ends will all be together and the necklace will be half as long and twice as thick.
- Using an extra strip of t-shirt, wrap the section where the seams have come together, as shown here, to bind the whole stack. Like this:
- Pull it over your head... See how cute? How inexpensive? How customizable? The sky is the limit on the color combinations and thickness!

Genesee & Wyoming Reports Results For The Fourth Quarter Of 2012
Same railroad average freight revenues per carload increased 20.1% in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with the fourth quarter of 2011. Same railroad average freight revenues per carload were impacted by three factors: a change in the mix of commodities, the appreciation of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and higher fuel surcharges, which increased same railroad average freight revenues per carload by 8.6%, 1.4% and 0.5%, respectively. Excluding these factors, same railroad average freight revenues per carload increased 9.6%. In addition to higher freight rates, same railroad average freight revenues per carload were positively impacted by changes in the mix of customers, primarily within the metallic ores and other commodities groups.
GWI's same railroad non-freight revenues in the fourth quarter of 2012 were $61.4 million, compared with same railroad non-freight revenues in the fourth quarter of 2011 of $61.6 million. Excluding a $0.3 million increase from the net impact of foreign currency appreciation, GWI's same railroad non-freight revenues decreased by $0.5 million, or 0.8%, primarily due to a $4.1 million decrease in third-party fuel sales resulting from GWI's sale of its third party fuel operation in South Australia in the third quarter of 2012, partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in railcar switching and a $1.0 million increase in other income.
GWI's operating income in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $33.7 million, compared with $45.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. GWI's operating ratio in the fourth quarter of 2012 was 85.2%, compared with an operating ratio of 78.4% in the fourth quarter of 2011. Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2012 included $24.0 million of RailAmerica-related expenses, primarily associated with closing costs and severance benefits, a $1.1 million contract termination payment in Australia associated with outsourced maintenance of way activities and other business/corporate development costs of $0.5 million, partially offset by $1.4 million of gains on insurance recoveries and the sale of assets. In the fourth quarter of 2011, operating income benefited $3.0 million from the net gain on the sale of assets, partially offset by Edith River derailment costs of $1.8 million and business/corporate development costs of $0.8 million. Excluding these items, GWI's adjusted operating income increased $12.8 million, or 28.3%, to $57.8 million. GWI's adjusted operating ratio improved 4.0 percentage points to 74.6% in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared with 78.6% in the fourth quarter of 2011 (2).

Winning Social Security Disability Benefits For Mental Disorders
It is difficult for anyone to win disability benefits, but especially for those who are filing for disability based on a mental disorder. Unfortunately, there still exists some discrimination in society against those who are mentally ill, and this attitude cannot help but be reflected by the psychologists and psychiatrists who evaluate people for the Social Security Administration. There are still quite a few mental health professionals who are unsupportive, perhaps even somewhat hostile, toward those seeking confirmation of a mental disorder to support a claim for disability.
In addition, those who are awarded disability due to a mental disorder are often at a disadvantage in that their condition was not immediately diagnosed. As a result of their struggle with mental illness, they may have a sketchy work history, if any. Social Security Disability (SSD) is awarded only to those who have paid into the system through FICA deductions from their paychecks. Many people with mental disorders haven't worked enough to qualify for Social Security Disability or SSI, or have worked such low-paying jobs in the past that they qualify for very little benefit under SSD.
Fortunately, in deciding who is awarded benefits, Social Security does not discriminate between physical and mental impairments. The litmus test for receiving disability benefits is the existence of a severe physical or mental condition, or combination of conditions, that prevent an applicant from earning the substantial gainful activity (SGA) limit each month. (The SGA amount is determined annually by Social Security.) In fact, the disability system is designed in such a way that younger people and others who have not worked much can collect more benefits than what they paid into the system.
As society has become more aware of the limitations imposed on individuals by mental illness, decisions within Social Security have mirrored this awareness. People with schizophrenia, manic depressive disorder, depression, etc., are no longer assumed to be easily "curable" with prescription medication. Since disability benefits are awarded only to those whose condition is expected to remain unchanged for at least twelve months, more and more people with mental disorders are no longer being denied based on the expectation that their condition will improve.
Though it may be more difficult for those with mental disorders to win full disability benefits than for those with obvious physical impairments, we can only hope that, as society learns more about the nature of mental illness and its limitations, this attitude will be reflected among the psychiatrists and psychologists who evaluate patients for Social Security.

text: MSNBC host Chris Matthews spoke with Libby juror Ann Redington on HARDBALL. Juror [#10] says she would support a Bush pardon for Libby. Transcript: Chris: You're for a pardon out of sympathy for the defendant. Ann: Yeah, I think in the big picture, um, it kind of bothers me that there was this whole big crime being investigated and he got caught up in the investigation as opposed to in the actual crime that was supposedly committed. Chris: Which is the leaking of a CIA agents name. Ann: Exactly. http://www.drudgereport.com/flash1.htm

Besides spending most of my time browsing the web,
playing video games or even makin's fanart/fanfiction
which I either do at home, at day centre or away at

The airsoft group I'm affiliated with are called Bravo 22.
Just remember: when playing airsoft, be sure to be honest
about getting hit...or else, the game wardens WILL
shoot you if you don't! There's no room for noobs who cheat!

Barbara Starr is no stranger to living in neighbourhoods where streetcars make their way along tracks embedded in city streets.
For several years, she has called the Dundas Street West and the Roncesvalles Avenue and also the Harbord and Bathurst streets areas home. She also lived for a stint in Roncesvalles Village.
Last August, she moved to the area of Dundas West and College streets. Streetcars are a way of life for Starr, who understands that with them comes some sound and vibration.
However, over the past seven months, she has noticed a significant increase in that noise and vibration.
"Since the beginning of August, the noise and vibration has increased drastically. Things vibrate across my counter," Starr told The Villager. "My beef is the increase."
The triangle of tracks is used as a turn-around, residents say. Yet, high traffic is not their concern.
Starr said she isn't sure if it's a maintenance issue, but she has noticed the noise and vibration tends to increase if streetcars speed through the intersection.
"When they go slow, it's not so bad – it's never going to be silent," said Starr. "From my observation, speed is one of the factors. When they speed up, they make a 'thug-thug' noise."
Starr is part of a group of neighbours who have banded together to form the 'Residents for a Quiet Ride' to ensure the noise and vibration issue is resolved.
TTC spokesperson Jessica Martin confirmed the public transportation agency was first made aware of the noise and vibration in January and sent its "track maintenance staff" out to investigate. The tracks were found in a "state of good repair," she said, however, there was evidence of some wear and tear on the components of a "tailing switch."
"We took the opportunity to replace it because we had to dismantle the switch to investigate," said Martin.
Martin said weather impacts noise level too. In the winter, it tends to be louder than in summertime. Lubricant is used in particular areas to grease the tracks, however, this tends to take place in areas that are "loops," such as the High Park loop, Martin said.
Speed could be a factor, she added.
"We've sent an inspector to look at that," she said.
Christina Ramos has lived in the neighbourhood for the past 40 years. She agrees that since last year, the noise has become problematic.
The streetcar noise and vibrations "shake the house," she said.
"It's very loud," she said, describing the noise as a 'clicking' sound.
Her neighbour, Rohan Walters, can take credit for initiating the Residents for a Quiet Ride. An architect, he designed and built his house at Lansdowne Avenue and College Street in 1996 to absorb vibration caused by the streetcar tracks.
"I'm sensitive to the level of vibration," he said.
Walters recalls in 2000, the noise and vibration had increased and so he contacted the TTC at the time and the problem was quickly resolved.
Since moving into his house, he says he's noticed the level of track maintenance has "deteriorated."
The group is in the midst of creating a petition. It has created a Facebook page as well.
"We want to do this together in a determined way," said Walters.

The hospitality and tourism industry is one of the largest employers in the United States. Globally, it's even bigger, according to the American Hotel & Lodging Association. In many countries, in fact, hospitality is virtually the only industry and essential to the local economy.

Morici: To Boost Growth, Everyone Should Pay Income Tax
Each year, automatically adjust those levels up or down so that the share of federal spending financed by the income taxes remains constant. If folks want more or less federal spending, everyone pays more or less federal taxes.
Also, get rid of all the deductions and exemptions -- everyone pays on everything they earn. No special preferences for capital gains or the carried interest of Wall Street financiers. Then the minimum and maximum rates could be set even lower.
These reforms would eliminate the terrible disincentive high taxes impose on small businesses to invest, grow and create jobs. Corporate tax rates could be similarly reformed so that investment decisions are not made on the basis of getting a tax credit but on the likelihood of boosting profits and employment.
For the working poor, having to pay some taxes would be a jolt, as it would be for the elderly depending on Social Security. For the former, the minimum wage could be boosted an appropriate amount -- perhaps 50 cents an hour -- beyond what President Obama and Congress agree. Social Security payments could be similarly hiked, on a one-time basis, by adjusting the payroll tax a few tenths of a percentage point.
A one-time jolt to inflation would follow as wages above the minimum adjusted through the forces of supply and demand. But it would be worth it to have long-term tax sanity. Politicians running for the Senate, House and Presidenct could no longer promise the moon by getting someone else to pay for it, The economy would grow robustly and more Americans would benefit from the best social program of all -- a well-paying job and a promising future.

Jul 29, 2014 3:54 PM by Lone Star Conference
CARROLLTON, Texas - Tarleton State was selected to repeat as Lone Star Conference football champion, according to the 2014 LSC preseason poll announced Tuesday.
The league's preseason poll reflects the opinions of LSC head coaches and sports information directors, plus various media representatives from throughout the region.
TSU, which earned a share of the 2013 LSC title with a 5-1 mark, earned first place votes on eight of the 21 ballots to finish with 139 total points.
West Texas A&M was picked second with 127 points and four first-place tallies on the heels of an 11-3 campaign last season that ended in the NCAA Division II quarterfinals.
Eastern New Mexico, the 2013 co-LSC champion, was third with 115 points and five top votes, while Midwestern State was fourth with 111 points and two first-place nods.
Angelo State was fifth with 99 points and one top vote, followed by Texas A&M-Commerce sixth (95 points and the remaining first-place vote), Texas A&M-Kingsville seventh (49), and McMurry (21).
The 2014 football season kicks off September 4, and the LSC has eight teams set to compete including McMurry, who joins the league as an affiliate member this season.
After playing seven conference games apiece over the first nine weeks of an 11-week regular season, the LSC's eight football teams will split into two brackets to conduct a two-week conference playoff. The conference champion and playoff seeding will be determined by regular season results with the higher seeds hosting each round.
The top four teams (No. 4 at No. 1 and No. 3 at No. 2) comprise the championship bracket with Week 10 winners playing for the playoff title in Week 11, whereas Week 10 losers will meet for third place. The other half of the bracket includes the remaining four teams with No. 8 at No. 5 and No. 7 at No. 6 in Week 10. The winners will play for fifth-place in Week 11, while the losers meet in the seventh-place game.
Three LSC teams were included in postseason play last season, with WT advancing to the NCAA Division II playoffs, A&M-C playing in the Live United Texarkana Bowl, and TSU being selected for the C.H.A.M.P.S. Heart of Texas Bowl, which was cancelled due to inclement weather.

Kraft Foods has announced upcoming changes to it's New Ulm plant which could affect as many as 90 positions there. The New Ulm plant will be restructuring throughout 2013, along with 2 other plants as the company works to consolidate product lines and increase efficiency. In New Ulm they'll be adding $25-million worth of new packaging equipment and related infrastructure, but will discontinue the production of Velveeta. Kraft expects to eliminate the equivalent of 80 full-time hourly workers and 10 salaried positions at the New Ulm plant, but the majority of those reductions will reportedly be done through early retirement incentives and attrition.

Uniquely in history these two black men had the opportunity to change the tenor, to change the dialogue on race in this country. And they have. For the worse.
It can be hard to take the idea of a Mitt Romney 2016 presidential run seriously. After all, this is the man who said of losing general election candidates, "They become a loser for life." At least in presidential terms, he had that mostly right.
Is it possible to hold two seemingly contradictory thoughts about the president's decision to partially end the half-century embargo against Cuba? Can one agree with conservative critics, from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), to Rush Limbaugh about how the Castro brothers are, apparently, getting everything they want and how the U.S. gets nothing but promises from a repressive regime that lies -- and still back the president's decision?
Last month, a professor of economics at the University of California, Davis made some headlines by basically asserting that there is no American dream. It's a myth. He crunched the numbers, supposedly disproving it. Hmm. My dad used to always say, "Did you ever hear about the statistician who drowned in a river, the average depth of which was 6 inches?"

The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation was founded in Hong Kong on March 3, 1865, and in Shanghai one month later. In 1980, HSBC acquired 51 per cent of Marine Midland Bank, buying the rest in 1987. HSBC Holdings was established in Britain in 1991 as the parent of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation ahead of its purchase of the UK-based Midland Bank and the impending 1997 transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from Britain to China.
HSBC sells stake in Korean insurer
Exit part of bank's three-year global plans to reduce, revive and refocus operations
Most Popular
HSBC said it sold an insurance stake in South Korea.
The banking giant said its subsidiary HSBC Insurance (Asia-Pacific) had agreed to sell its 50 per cent less one share in Hana HSBC Life Insurance to Hana Financial Group.
The lender did not disclose the sale price but at the end of last year, Hana HSBC Life had gross assets of about US$2.47 billion.
The transaction, which was expected to be completed as early as May 10, was in keeping with HSBC's group strategy, the lender said. The sale is part of a three-year revival plan by HSBC chief executive Stuart Gulliver to reduce costs, raise returns and refocus on profitable areas.
Gulliver wants to cut US$3.5 billion in annual costs and make the group more focused, and has been unwinding many deals and exiting countries and businesses where it is unprofitable or lacks critical mass.
HSBC remained committed to the Korean market and continued to invest in developing its Korean Global Banking and Markets business, the investment banking arm, HSBC said.
Foreign financial companies find it difficult to make a profit in Korea because of the culture of financial protectionism in the country. HSBC had tried to acquire a local retail banking business in Korea but failed to do so.
Standard Chartered, which beat HSBC and acquired Korea First Bank in April 2005, also faced difficulties when it tried to introduce changes in Korea First Bank's salary structure, triggering a strike.
HSBC last week announced plans for another round of staff cuts in Britain. A total of 1,149 jobs have been eliminated in the country.
The lender will post its first-quarter results on May 7.

Wildlife SOS help nab a notorious tiger poacher
Our friends at Wildlife SOS India have had a busy few weeks as they were part of a multi-organisational team that apprehended a notorious tiger poacher, Bheema Bawaria. After a chase through the streets of Delhi, Bawaria was caught with a tiger skin, tiger bones (an entire skeleton), two live turtles and ivory. The operation to catch the well known thief was conducted by NGO Wildlife SOS, NTCA, CBI, WCCB and the Haryana Police and Forest departments.
Bawaria was previously arrested in 2009 and is a repeat offender, involved with other big name poachers. The joint forces have been on the lookout for Bawaria for several years and he has been under constant surveillance.He has spent time in jail previously but has always returned to a life of poaching. Wildlife SOS and their colleagues are now working to find out who his international links and routes are in order to target the gangs he works with. Tiger body parts are often used in Chinese medicines and as such sold in SE Asia and China.
The arrest of Bawaria is a great achievement and one that could lead to capturing his known associates and suppliers. In turn preventing the mass poaching and sale of tiger parts and other endangered animals, such as elephants.This long winded capture of Bawaria highlights the growing need for cross-organisation communication and the ongoing problem of poaching worldwide.
The Indian Government has recently made moves to protect the tiger population further by preventing tourism and access to several of India's most famous National Parks. The tiger tourism ban is currently being debated in the Indian Supreme Court. It is argued that ecotourism is not helping the Bengal tiger survive but damaging the habitat. The alternative argument is that tiger tourism actually brings in much needed funds to help protect the Bengal Tiger. The Travel Operators for Tigers argue that the highest density populations of tigers are in fact found in the most visited reserves and that poachers make up 95% of the reasons behind tiger population decrease. The anti-ban supporters also argue that removing tourism will only encourage poaching activity in the quiet reserves where currently a constant presence deters the poachers.
The final decision will be made on the 22 August and we hope that the Indian Government and all other parties involved can work together to maintain ecotourism and protect the tiger population.
And a final congratulations to Wildlife SOS for helping to stop Bawari.
